adam fleming there for a parliament. michael gove has been speaking to bbc news ahead of the uk leaving the eu later this week — he said that eu membership had at times made him feel that his hands were tied. one of the things that frustrated me when i was in government in the past was that documents would cross my desk. in the past was that documents would cross my desk, i would be asked whether or not i thought something was a good idea, i would occasionally say i'm not sure this is a good idea, and that i was told, well, there's nothing you can do about it. this is eu law. that's going to change. it's going to end. and as a result, actually, there won't be a hiding place for politicians like me. i can't blame europe for unemployment or any of the policies this government might be responsible for. in that respect, brexit means that politicians are no longer able to run away from the voters. michael go with his thoughts ahead of that brexit vote in the european parliament in the next few minutes we will be back there wi

s and most of these in the parliament so it goes to show that iraq yes wants u.s. troops to leave the country but not everybody is on board not everyone's on board and certainly the protests that we've seen in iraq over the last few months whether in baghdad mosul why the cities have been denouncing not just for the presence of foreign troops of american troops but also the influence of countries such as iran you know if this were to go through what would happen would iraq be in a position to defend its sovereignty if these foreign troops were to leave. but that is the question which is going to hound the iraqi government before it takes any decision whether to go ahead and cancel the presence of u.s. troops in iraq according to the pretty 14 request as it requested not just the united states but other world powers to come in and protect it from iceland and now it says the mission against isis is over it no longer needs those foreign troops but it but the relationship with the united states goes beyond that there is an agreement with the united states beyond this a

kind of mccaskill newly elected member for a slow into the westminster parliament congratulations and welcome to the exam and to thank you it's good to be back at yourself and the other 48 independent support again peace alecto from scotland a huge election triumph but if i arrived in westminster making your 1st speech in the palace of west most of this week and boris johnson says that you know getting a referendum so. it's a democratic right to the people of scotland to be able to decide upon their own independence and therefore this attitude been taken by boris johnson that you cannot have an independence referendum ever despite the fact the prepare to seat one in the board to pull in ireland is fundamentally undemocratic super got to build the base not just amongst independents supporters but all those who cherish democracy so when you last week suggested this new scottish constitutional convention replaying what was done in the eighty's and ninety's of devolution you took a fair criticism a for breaking ranks and secondly from people saying look we want our referendum no we don't

that the parliament has to. put an end to this. problem of the problem of the coming government we need to sort this out and we need the powers we need to term in the relations between powers in this country i understand that the parliament is facing so many things to be sorted out and before my resignation i declared myself and i declared. will of my government to resign on condition of appointing or elected or having and your government that will solve all the problems long live iraq long live the iraqi people praise be to our law almighty and peace be upon you old. and that's where we broke away from the iraqi prime minister. who was outlining there the need for respect of iraqi sovereignty he said there were 2 options that they could be put to the palm of the 1st option is that they end the presence of u.s. forces inside iraq the 2nd option is that they really draft the conditions of the presence of american troops on iraqi soil those conditions being only to assist in the training and support of iraqi forces he did then say th

opposition to the deployment of troops very much visible in parliament so. the opposition are dead against it thank you very much with the latest from ankara mohammed let's now speech to mahmoud underwired he joins us live from tripoli what is the view there then to this deepening takesh involvement in the conflict in libya. well. the boast that this decision by the parliament has given to the libyan categories of official institutions especially in the west of the country is very clear today many people cheering up especially military commanders on the ground because the are sure that this military corp is going to change the balance of power on the ground this is going to make a change in favor of the government forces of the ground that's according to military commanders and we have been getting reports from the high state council that there tripoli based heisted council will coming this decision and also from the. house of representatives and also officials at the government of national accord they have been all welcoming this decision by the turkish par

we could hear the members of parliament as they entered the hall chanting no to america chanting yes to sulaimani and such rhetorical will only further polarize the country further push the country in the direction of iran so this is unlikely to go down well of course many iraqis still remember the extreme adverse impact of the un sanctions that were imposed in 1990 against at that time saddam hussein's regime and those sanctions remain in place until 2003 so these kind of words will only fuel opposition to the united states here in iraq and of course it konami clear it also doesn't make that much sense because the u.s. has a lot of interest in iraq especially in the oil and gas sector especially in the electricity sector so those kind of sanctions would also advise us have an adverse effect on u.s. companies that are investing here and of course iraq is also heavily reliant already on iranian and turkish consumer goods so it will only increase the death of economic ties between iraq and iran and that's something that the u.s. probably doesn't really want similar falls in there with
