the constitution should prevail they arguing this is what they make their case they make the parliament house not been involved in this decision also a very controversial i moved because the parliament is not sitting yet it will be called in within the next few weeks so this is a highly controversial ad and as we have heard also a very important court ruling that would be issued at the end of this process was exploding in hong kong thank you god the united nations is calling for an end to the violence in iraq which has left nearly 100 people dead and wounded security forces have repeatedly opened fire on demonstrators who were protesting against corruption and unemployment the un's top official in iraq has called it a senseless loss of life. of that had their 1st sight of the another funeral procession in iraq the country has seen almost a 100 deaths in the past week this one is for a protester whose family say he was shot by police well as they got i hope that he went out to defend his rights nothing more. he had nothing on him and was an armored he was targeted by snipers to head shots that

well outside here of parliament of the houses of parliament the atmosphere is really really heated therebeen some major protests going on in london today. those are unrelated to what happened in the house of commons today of people asking for a 2nd referendum for a people's vote and some of the protestors i just saw pursuing heckling conservative m.p.'s that left parliament after that vote so a very heated atmosphere outside of the houses of parliament and inside of course a major blow to boris johnson who was hoping to have a very decisive vote today on the brics a deal that he has negotiated with the european union that of course never happened because this amendment that now makes him ask for yet another extension to the brics a deadline and he will have to do so by 11 pm tonight yes well as you say a big blow to prime minister peres johnson who was hoping to have this deal voted on and hopefully approved today johnson was defiant in his speech to parliament this is what he had to say i will not negotiate with. i am not a good to see who compel me to do so i will tell all friends and

friend for his statement and just remind him that people in this house are blocking brexit in the name of the sovereignty of parliamentfrom the british people? and shouldn't now the british people be allowed to decide who represents them in this house? mr speaker, as so often, i bow to my honourable friend's constitutional expertise. it is quite clear that the sovereignty of this house did not fall upon us like a comet from heaven. it comes to us from the british people. it is the people'ssovereignty, delegated to parliament. we need, as we are incapable of using it, to return it to them and ask them to have another election then decide how their sovereignty should be used. this is fascinating, but we are not going to embark upona fascinating, but we are not going to embark upon a philosophical discussion on the matter of sovereignty. this treats of the business of the house for monday. nothing more, nothing less. brevity is required. ijust want is required. i just want to be clear with the leader of the houses to whether or not his motion on monday is under the fixed—term parliaments act? —— the fixed—term parliament

the european union if boris johnson you can get your withdrawal agreement bill through the house of parliament. through the houses of parliament by both parts of it before january the 31st then on the 1st of the following month then that is the day that you will be leaving the european union there are some small parts of this that are going to stick perhaps with boris johnson and the then the british government such as the requirements for the u.k. to have a reference over at the commission the commissioner essentially this is going to be difficult to say yes to but it's the requirements of the ben acts that made him write this letter to the european union asking for an extension says that he has to accept it when the e.u. grants it so to be ratified it has to go back to london it has to be signed by boris johnson then this can be formalized into a document signed off by all other 27 members of the you that is going to be something very difficult for boris johnson to do but he will do it he has promised time and time again that the u.k. would leave the e.u. on october 31st that is a promise th

the mail on sunday accuse parliament of being a "house of fools", saying that instead of the nation starting delaying leaving the european union. the independent online focuses on the people's vote march that took place outside parliament. it reports that a million marched, on the day that made the prime minister listen. the sunday telegraph concentrates on the prime minister's refusal to sign the letter to the eu requesting an extension, while asking eu leaders to stick to the october the 31st deadline. the sunday express asks the question: "why won't they let us leave?" the paper says there was outrage as parliament voted to obstruct the prime minister's brexit deal. the observer covers both the action in the commons, and the protests outside it. it says that the prime minister faces fresh action in the courts, while also covering today's people's vote protests. and the sunday times leads with the news that borisjohnson has sent three letters to the eu explaining the uk's position, and his own personal position. so the sunday times, three letters to the eu, that is one way of putting it. s

in order by the houses of parliament in orderfor brexit to order by the houses of parliament in orderntary task that he has said, but he was adamant that thatis has said, but he was adamant that that is what he was going to do. vicky young, our chief political corresponding in the central lobby of the houses of parliament, we have to underline how significant a moment that was. the government just did not have the numbers to defeat that i'm just to recap, it means that i'm just to recap, it means that what they have passed it something that says that this house has considered the matter, the deal, and withhold its approval until the legislation, the bill that enacts the withdrawal agreement, goes through. those who voted for it say that it stops the possibility of by somehow the prime minister and the house of commons, people in the conservative party may be, trying to get a no deal a brexit at the end of october. there are others who are saying that they are simply trying yet again to block brexit completely. the big question what happens next? this means that by law the prime minist

regarding the illegal immigration and the bombing of the refugee center of the parliament house, that was true crime and we talked about this with our european neighbors. libya is a victim of this issue because this also concerns us. the migration by hundreds of thousands and just to make things clearer to the audience, there are about 600,000 to 800,000 illegal immigrants on libyan land. refugee centers, that's -- only house about 10,000 of them. so there is no comparison between the real number of those on libyan land and those in the refugee centers and indeed we started to close the centers because they're a burden to us right now. it's nothing but criticism and talk about cviolations and so o. in the meantime, many of the countries that talk about immigration do not carry the responsibilities and some of them are european countries. they should take the responsibility instead of criticizing libya under the current economic situations, handling 800 immigrants and under 10 in the center. some european countries would not receive a single migrant. and criticize the libyan state with

in getting this deal when we get to have a look at it and see what it entails through the houses of parliament that is a debate that is shared jewels to take place on saturday norm very much time for all the m.p.'s in the house to scrutinize this properly and work out whether they're going to give it their consent or not really i just want to drill down a little bit further into the objections from the democratic unionist because that whole question of northern ireland and the potential hot border and what that would mean is being crucial to all of this is the concern here in the unionists that this would bring in fact bill fast close to dublin and the 2nd point to that just how much power do they have standing in the ways of nuff to scuttle this. well they have less power than they used to because under to reason may's government they propped up that government with a consent agreement in the house of commons now that boris johnson has no majority anyway in parliament they as the d.p. have less bargaining power but they still do have significant amounts of clout and their words their objectio

varies from low level abuse to 2 to death threats i suspect probably every other member of parliament and house of commons is had death threats and there's no doubt that these things have got worse since the referendum so immediately after the referendum there was a very clear increase. and these m.p.'s have little personal security they hold surgeries in their constituencies where anyone can meet the politicians face to face. tom brakes offices are only locked at night. one of the important roles that a british member of parliament has is being accessible to the public and providing a service people come to a member of parliament about any issue from a difficulty securing a school place for their child through to poor quality housing and if we're not accessible then when are actually able to provide a very good service for people. that leaves them very exposed 3 years ago labor m.p. jo cox was murdered on the way to a constituency surgery her attacker has links to a neo nazi group. members of the opposition also blame the prime minister they say his talk of capitulation and surrender is fuelin

it varies from level abuse to death threats are suspect probably every other member of parliament in the house of commons has had death threats and there's no doubt that these things have got worse since the referendum mediately all through the referendum there was a very clear increase. 3 years ago labor m.p. jo cox was murdered on the way to a drop in in her constituency her attacker has links to a neo nazi group. members of the opposition also blame the prime minister. they think this talk of capitulation and surrender is fueling hatred. but prime minister boris johnson merely dismisses threats of violence against m.p.'s as humbug thanks to the right i. have to say to just be cried never heard john trumbull you know my life. britain's divide between remainders and labour's grows ever starker many m.p.'s receive threats every day usually via facebook or twitter their references to hanging and firing squads civil war and gunning for blood there's no way of knowing if some of these users might perpetrate violence in the real world. liberal democrat tom brink believes that the political culture

lets go to the houses of parliament now and speak to our political correspondent chris mason. f the anger on both sides of the house? yes, jeopardy postponed again really. we had afair jeopardy postponed again really. we had a fair dose of an on saturday then there was talk maybe today would for the big decision, yes or no, so—called meaningful vote on the borisjohnson vision of brexit. the speaker said no. thinks president suggests you should not be reaching a decision that has already been taking citing president dating back the best part of 400 years. later this evening, the withdrawal agreement bill, the bit of legislation needed to make brexit happen, will be published on with it all sorts of documents about what it might look like. mps will have a chance to read it but not long because tomorrow will be the so—called second reading of the withdrawal agreement bill where mps in the chamber will be able to stand up in the chamber will be able to stand up and say their piece and at some stage quite possibly tomorrow, we may get a vote and a verdict from mps. and also a chance

he houses of parliament, anyone but boris johnson. arliament, anyone but borisjohnson. he could ride it out in the short—term but longer term, the tightrope he has to walk is if he goes to far in one direction on brexit, he alienates the brexit party but in the other direction he alienates lib dems and moderates who he needs for those key constituencies. let me take you to parliament square now, hilary benn is on the stage addressing the people's vote leaf. the prime minister failed people's vote leaf. the prime ministerfailed to get people's vote leaf. the prime minister failed to get his deal approved, we know it is a worse deal than we have today and worse even than we have today and worse even than theresa may's deal but the fundamental question facing the country is how we resolve this, how do we bring it to an end? not by forcing through his deal in that place but by going back to the people and asking them. in a democracy, there is a fundamental question... do we have the right to change our mind? cheering now, the brexiteers th

british prime minister boris johnson and members of parliament are now converging on the house of commonsrp a rare saturday session. hasn't been one in nearly 40 years. and to be voted on, another attempt to get the brexit agreement through parliament before the october the 31st deadline. it will be the fourth time three meaningful votes under theresa may on her deal. but the big difference is boris johnson has managed to renegotiate, get rid of the so-called backstop, put together a new deal and there is no clear indication if this incarnation fares any better than theresa may. these are the sort of terms about the northern ireland protocol. the speaker is getting ready to call order. when he does so, what you will see is boris johnson who will open the debate. but in the last few moments, there has been a wrinkle. >> before i call the prime minister to make a statement, i want to make a few brief introductory remarks. first, colleagues across the house want to join me in thanking all of the staff of the house who have worked so hard to facilitate the sitting today. i know many of them h

well the houses of parliament we've seen that over the past year it became very clear that there is no majority on anything regarding bracks and so it's really been a terrible deadlock here in british politics and general election of course could shake up the numbers and palm and if we look at where the parties stand on the issue of the conservatives of course want to push that bracks a deal through leave the european union the labor party has not quite made up their mind the liberal democrats they want to forget about bricks at all together revoke to kill 50 and then there is also a new kid on the block the breck said paci they want to make clear cut with the european union as soon as possible and i think what this general election if we then see it pretty christmas boils down to is that the british voters will finally have a say again on whether they want bricks that after all or what kind of brick said they indeed want. the parts are reporting from london thank you. firefighters in california are battling 2 massive blazes extreme winds have been fanning the flames and a statewide em

it was the 12th of december, then there may be time for him to get that bill through both houses of parliamente pretty difficult to do, and i'm not sure he could manage it without the timetable, the programme motion, to do it, but that is their argument. but some think it is much more to do with students. they think that lots of students are registered, some of them in both places, their home and their university, but they think that because the term ends about then, a lot of them would have left the university town or city and will be back home, and could swing results in some cities where there is a big university at a big number, large number of students. 0k, we are just waiting for this vote on the government's motion calling for an early general election for december the 12th, and i think it mightjust be coming now. the speaker: order. order. the ayes to the right, 299, the noes to the left, 70. the ayes to the right, 299. the noes to the left, 70, so the ayes have it, the ayes have it. the ayes have it, the ayes have it. the ayes have it, but the motion has not obtained the majority requ

house. indeed, last tuesday, we briefly allowed hope to bloom in our hearts, mr speaker. when, for the first time in three and a half years, parliamentcross the house to do that. in many ways, it was an astonishing moment. they said we would never reopen the withdrawal agreement, they said we would never be able to get rid of the backstop, they said we would never do a new deal with the eu. we do it all of them, mr speaker. they said we would never get parliament to agree. i give way to my right honourable friend. i thank my right honourable friend. i thank my right honourable friend and all he is doing to get brexit done. could i ask him, in his preparations for a no—deal brexit, can he make sure there is plenty of corn feed for the election chickens on the opposite benches? elegantly put, mr speaker. our thanks on the opposite benches? elegantly put, mr speaker. ourthanks to on the opposite benches? elegantly put, mr speaker. our thanks to the work of the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, our preparations for a no—deal brexit are very thorough indeed. but alas, we have not been able, asi indeed. but alas, we have not been able,

them to give you correspondent shallop parts is standing outside the house of parliament in london she joins me now charlotte bring us up to speed about what's happening in there right now. well the situation is extremely complex and fluid so please bear with me while i try to explain it we were expecting a decisive vote today on boris johnson steel and whether parliament would approve it finally or not now it looks like 1st and amendment is going to be tabled and that amendment would force boris johnson if parliament approves it would force boris johnson to ask the european union for an other extension for yet another extension on the force for for 3 months and he would have to do that tonight so it looks likely that this amendment will be voted through and that would of course take the pressure off that vote on the on boris johnson's deal. johnson has said if indeed he has to ask for an extension then he would conservatives to walk out of parliament and not participate in the vote on his deal so there wouldn't be a decision on that today and we would probably most likely next week se

today, but he has to exceed the power both of the house of commons and house of lords, the two house parliament and he also has to be attentive to his minister. this is part of the reform imposed on the monarchy in the late 17th century which imposes some restrictions, it isn't an absolute monarchy that he has great authority both morally anu politically he is able to control the genitals are, for example, he controls from the ministers are, who's running the admiralty, the treasury. so he has a great persuasion in that regard. .. .fifteen children it is a very interesting partnership. and with blinders on and a significant way because how have you never even been to scotland? so we lived in a very circumscribed world with the courts with the various palaces and the blinds him to the world. >> did you have access to his records quick. >> i did but in 2016 to make available the papers to scholars with 350,000 pages i was one of the first scholars allowed to look at them and i was at windsor castle every morning i would enter and show my badge and then be at the top of the round tower. and then w

well, our political editor laura kuenssberg is in the houses of parliament and has been telling us whetherr's attempt to get a pre—christmas election might succeed tomorrow, after it failed this evening. the chances are good for downing street in terms of getting what they so street in terms of getting what they so desire, the idea to get the clarity, of getting to the country ina way clarity, of getting to the country in a way they hope will account for them but just the in a way they hope will account for them butjust the chances are better than they have been for boris johnson in terms of getting to the ballot box, it does not mean whatsoever that this will be a slam dunk. remember, he has tried before and failed, and tried twice again and failed, and tried twice again and failed, and tried twice again and failed again. it seems the lead dams and the snp are pretty much on—board. —— lib dams. but pretty much is very important. they will be waiting to see what the terms of the vote the prime minister wants to have tomorrow are an do not underestimate what other mps might try to get in th
