parliamentary group leader. instead of the chancellor's preferred candidate for counter. what lies ahead for the c.d.u. once miracle leaves. and this could it has become something of a truism to say that by blurring the conservative profile of the c.d.u. by taking the party toward the middle of the political spectrum on issues like migration among others that uncle americal essentially lost voters to the right wing national party but could one also say that by taking the party in that direction she gained voters who otherwise would never have voted conservative unfortunately not the interesting trend is that we saw in this region most recent regional election confirmed is that her party loses almost exactly the same number of voters to the alternative for germany the anti migrant right party and to the green party which is the most open to migrans progressive party. so it's more like the party her own conservative bloc is split there is a there is a tension within it and voters are defecting for the two poles that are clear on the subject that's essentially the trend that

and also with the parliamentary leader she has a new parliamentary leader she lost that vote. and so her favorite wasn't elected. i don't see it i don't see how she could. house you can survive that. under school at a purely technical -- level it's interesting how would she be toppled yeah. because they they germany is a little bit different in other countries it would have to happen in parliament and they have a constructiv. m. a vote of no around but they'd have to vote someone in at the same time. now from merchants point of view that they obviously we we all agree they they hate each other basically. but they're also very professional and they have to make some sort of deal where. he doesn't undermine her and she it'll doesn't as chancellor he's going to be the next candidate for the party so. she cannot do things to undermine him so they have. to they they there is a harmony of interest if they figure it out right where she in fact campaigns for him or at least doesn't do anything that makes him look terrible. but if the social democrats at that point with this guy if the

he defended very strongly the idea of parliamentary supremacy. and, this did not mean that he was not a defender of judiciary. church hill was one of the great defenders of an independent judiciary. in england, i was interested to find out, in 1954, there was a proposal to raise judicial salaries. but, the parliament, including many members of the churchill party did not want to do it because they made their own salary. they did not have political will and funds, they didn't want to lose their anger, wishing the same thing in the united states. churchill gave a magnificent speech, saying that it would be a slow underrepresentation of this great house. of self-interest, of parliamentary members, impaired independence of the judiciary of england. and, english judges to this day are admired and rolled over for their independence. some years ago, chief justice warren burger and chief justice of the united states was invited by lord hillstrom to go to the opening of the court, it begins at nokomis term, i believe that was early or mid october. the rea

churchill was a very strong believer in parliamentary supremacy. he gave a fascinating speech to the american bar association in 1954 1954, being very gracious, he didn't criticize the united states judicial supremacy rule, the idea that a court can declare invalid an enactment of -- a 5-4 decision can declare invalid an act enacted by the entire congress and signed by the president. that's judicial review. he claimed he thought this was necessary, certainly defensible, because of our federal system and our size. but he defended very strongly, very strongly the idea of parliamentary supremacy. and he -- this did not mean he was not a defender of the judiciary. churchill was one of the great defenders of an independent judiciary. in england i was interested to find out in 1954 there was a proposal to raise judicial salaries but the parliament, including many members of churchill's temperament didn't want to do it because the funds were linked to their own. we've seen the same thing in the united states and churchill gave a magnificent speech saying

the independence of the judiciary, but also a great defender of parliamentary supremacy. that is your tradition until this day. i noticed we had the statesman award, and not long ago, it occurred to me that we have difficulty producing or identifying statesman or states women in our era both here and abroad. it occurred to me that it might be to defy what a statesman or a states woman is. my suggestion all of this and i should've had a powerpoint for you, but it is simple enough. i changed a little thing that i did, and the number 1 statesman, it should have a moral compass and framework. number 2, the statesman or states woman should have vision, the ability to see and the opportunity for great advance in human progress or the ability to see the portends of great danger. third, the statesman or states woman should have the capacity, the genius, performing a consensus across party lines. it seems to me probably, and i wish we could talk about this more so i could get your advice, that you could add that he or she has to have the leadership ability to make it come about. i

if you think about significant parliamentary moments, mps having to examine their consciences to decidethere will be a sense of history weighing heavily on their shoulders to decide what to do. also because it is a leap into the unknown if they decide en masse to vote down this deal. i think that will concentrate the thoughts of some of the mps. they will be a strategy definitely whips, the people responsible for discipline in the political parties, trying to assess whether they can rely on the support of certain groups and there will be a lot of wrangling because there will be different groupings among different parties so the prime minister might be appealing to some labour mps who she thinks might support, even if as a party they won't as a block. there is room for manoeuvre but in terms of the scale of opposition we have seen so far, declared scale, it is a tall order. and an irony because when we went into the eu a0 plus years ago, it was the same sort of arithmetic and the conservative government had to rely on a big rebellion of labour mps to get it through. absolutely and lisa n

you have spoken with parliamentary colleagues i don't gallop since the story emerged in the evening.getting of support or otherwise?” certainly was part of a big meeting this evening where ministers were briefed by number ten. there were a number of questions asked. you would expect that, just as clearly there have been in cabinet early in the afternoon. my take on it, talking to collea g u es afternoon. my take on it, talking to colleagues from across the party, different movements, views, different movements, views, different positions in the referendum, was that this is something we can work the service to sport. —— support. the prime minister is to be congratulated. not perfect but delivering on the ma nifesto perfect but delivering on the manifesto promise, the deep and special relationship with the eu while delivering on the brexit referendum result. that is the key thing. all of us have been triggered by the largest activity of democracy that our country has seen. we had the result of the british people. we have stuck by that. and the prime minister is clearly delivering upon

it was chancellor angela merkel's first parliamentary speech since announcing she would step down as party leader and she was unusually passionate she vigorously defended the un migration pact saying acting internationally was the only way to solve global problems this is only that soon it's in on national interest to prove the conditions for both refugees on the one hand and employment migration on the other. this was a budget debate traditionally a chance for the opposition to attack the government's policies about the largest opposition party the far right. isn't the pressure itself stung by a scandal over compain donations the eye of these parliamentary co-leader lashed out more highly sought for out all this you have no right to criticize us on moral grounds but you know that get it out want to. step out of your glass house and start throwing stones you'll only hit yourself in the end they have america was unfaced see another nice thing about free debates is that everyone can talk about whatever they think is important to the country. small no position parties took the governmen

detox like the difficulty of that parliamentary vote coming mid—december. the difficulty of that parliamentary-december. no party once the leadership election in the middle of something as serious as this and that i'm sure, is something that tory mps will be weighing up quite seriously. from all the mutterings that have been going on throughout the evening it looks as if the possibility of a leadership challenge is there. my hunch is and giles knows them better than i do, my hunch is that she is with it because although you trigger and a leadership election, she only has to get a slim margin of votes think she would win it at this time. if we get through brexit it would be a whole different ball game. to bring a prime minister down on one of the most unprecedented times and a past 100 years would be a huge thing to do. we will order the daily mirror, not a fan of theresa may or brexit. sub rab c hadley war cabinet is not altogether unsurprising.” sub rab c hadley war cabinet is not altogether unsurprising. i think they are over egging it. they may have asked questions, they may have expressed

numbers-wise it is looking difficult that the parliamentary vote will pass actually, looks like we lost willem who was live in westminster. let's move on and talk about the european angle and side of things we now know the leaders of the eu 27 will meet on november 25th to endorse the brexit deal between the eu and the uk. european council president, donald tusk, says the draft text is being examined by all countries. silvia is in bristles and has been monitoring the action from the european side of things. it looked to be promising, we know we have a formal date, november 25th for the eu to sit and ratify this deal the big question is how europe will respond to this news that the brexit secretary has indeed resigned >> exactly things look very shaky now let me guide you through the next steps as you mentioned, the capitals will be examining this exit agreement over the next couple of days, that's in anticipation of the summit scheduled for the 25th of november donald tusk said this morning this would be the plan "if nothing extraordinary happens. of course after the resignation of the

two things there, jeremy corbyn first of all talking about the parliamentary arithmetic. he isn't ruling out potentially that this thing could be stopped. you heard him, if there is a majority in parliament to do so, it could be stopped, but he doesn't believe that is a question at the moment. and the second thing is the negotiations. he believes there is still time to go back to brussels and, in his words, get a better deal. he talked about the fact that a lot of these deals tend to be done at the 11th hour in brussels, and he believes there is still a potential to change course. so lots of arithmetic to think about. there is the arithmetic of, can this agreement get through the commons, but there is also the arithmetic about whether there will be a no—confidence vote in the prime minister. 48 letters is what the rebel tory backbenchers, the brexiteers have to get. are they getting closer to that, do you think? we don't know for sure. that's the thing. the only person that does know is the chair of the backbench 1922 committee, graham brady. he is going to be giving some

due to the parliamentary arithmetic.our of a pragmatic, workable deal. but nothing would change. you could change the prime minister on a daily basis. unless you have a general election, nothing will change in parliament. and presumably they are not prepared to vote for a general election. it is all the turkeys voting for christmas. guillamon in that case, what is the point of changing the prime minister? we are close to leaving and it does seem that those who advocated leaving the european union are the greatest strength and force, now appear to be prepared to follow a risky strategy of seeking either to extend the period or to revoke the opportunities of brexit altogether by trying to throw pebbles into the pond by changing the prime minister. isn't the difficulty here is that whether or not mrs may remains... lets say she remains. she goes to this board in december. it looks on the basis of what we have seen so far is that she will have a hell of a fight on her hands to get this through the commons and she may not do

again which is months ago before the european union's parliamentary elections polls all make it easy reading for the blocs ruling parties votes a preference seems to be veering towards more radical quarters and what could that lead to an unprecedented shake up in european politics. europe's political establishment is set up for a meeting in may during the e.u. parliamentary elections and with support to windowing for both the center right and the center left the big winners you're all skeptic an anti migrant parties the feeding is that there's a kind of the extortion among voters because they feel that the traditional galaxies have nothing new to say they feel contempt from those voters that it's not exactly always making them go to a populist making making voters do to anybody who looks you french president emanuel macron took it upon himself to warn europe of a nationalistic menace comparing it to leprosy europe faces a risk that of being broken up by nationalist leprosy and of being pushed around by foreign powers and thereby losing its sovereignty but it seems like the french don

to determine both our parliamentary rules, our parliamentary decisions on that, and indeed, the stormont was expressed in the decemberjoint report. of course, as the right honourable gentleman will also know, the lock that was in the december joint report referred to a decision being taken by the northern ireland executive and the northern ireland assembly, which, sadly, we do not have in place today. theresa may also faced challenging questions from her own side, one of them from an mp who quit her cabinet last week. can the prime minister assure the house today, as she has on many occasions, the uk will be leaving the eu on the 29th of march, 2019, come what may? i can give her the assurance that the united kingdom will leave the european union on the 29th of march, 2019. the prime minister trying to re—assure her former cabinet colleague. a government minister has suggested that families hit by the benefit cap could take in a lodger. the cap places a limit on the amount working age households can receive from benefits to £23,000 a year in london, £20,000 outside. the work and pensions

to move on as i said i am full of optimism about the future of our country may now has to seek parliamentary approval at home which will be much more difficult amidst divisions even among her own party and e.u. leaders today made clear there will be no renegotiation of the agreement. this is. james is an accomplished diplomatic feat i want to emphasize that this is an extremely difficult situation his situation without any precedent because we haven't had it before this a european country lose the e.u. also this agreement not considers the interests of both sides and also looks into the future and all speaking needs to come from. for theresa may the brics it drama continues in early december that's when the british parliament is expected to vote on the deal but even if it's ratified that's only the beginning of many months possibly years of negotiations on the future relationship between britain and the e.u. . and we're joined now by political advisor john wirth thanks for joining us john we've just been hearing about the british perspective the what is the new perspective we heard about lea

at this point isn't going to make the negotiations any easier and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic what it will do what it will do is bring in a degree of uncertainty that's uncertainty for people and their jobs what it will do is mean that is a risk that actually we delay the negotiations and that's a risk that wrecks it gets delayed or frustrated. and even dominic robb who was the brett six secretary and till thursday when he quipped over this deal has said that he thinks that the leadership contest could be a distraction so at the moment she she just about seems ok i listen about brussels then for a moment how do you think brussels will respond say for example if britain then tries to renegotiate the draft deal that is obviously a huge amount of pressure on theresa may to get a renegotiation going and she is going to brussels this week she's going to meet the e.u. president. and she did make it very clear in that interview that she would only sign off on this divorce deal if she can get it absolutely secure that the that the u.k. would get a good relationship with the

frankly i would say to my parliamentary colleagues and to other people around the country, get behindible alternative to the approach she is putting forward. she is doing her best for the country and the national interest says that we should rally in her support. critics do not deny she has done her best but say her best is not good enough. the deal is insufficient and falls short for the integrity of the uk. i think the deal defends the union, and there were real fears when the commission published proposals earlier this year that they would somehow hive northern ireland. what we have is a set of arrangements assuring that does not happen. to protect the integrity of the union... we have sketched out with an agreement with the eu a future parliament that gives us a closer economic, tariff—free relationship with the eu 27, a vital market for our companies, than is enjoyed by any other country. a better deal than canada or korea or singapore. there is a huge opportunity to grab that while delivering on the referendum results still. another cabinet member speaking out in support of ther

the policy is totally intolerable and we have to test whether the parliamentary party, not only wishesck the prime minister now she is sticking with this policy, and there's no doubt about it whatsoever, there is no scope for improvement. tripura vote of no—confidence in the prime minister, 50% lead to write to the committee chair, graham brady. he is the only one who will know when the magic number 48 has been reached. theresa may says she will fight the boat and if a majority of mps support her, she can't be challenged again for another year.|j support her, she can't be challenged again for another year. i hope that those mps who are contemplating this dude drawback but i think if those letters were to go in, i think she would win any such vote decisively and she would deserve to do so. so the prime minister stays where she is for now but her critics are still circling and her hold on her party could still soon be swept away. leila nathoo, bbc news, the westminster. let's talk to our assistant political editor norman smith who is with me. she intends to see it through. is her fate ne

it isn't going to change the parliamentary arithmetic. is bring a degree of uncertainty for people and their jobs, and that's the reality, isn't it? lily, this policy the prime minister is pursuing, and we've seen two brexit secretaries of state resign, she has been obviously taking control of the negotiations. those negotiations haven't satisfied anyone. many members in my party, the labour party have said they are going to vote it down, the democratic unionist party has said they are going to vote it down, and it is commanding a majority in parliament. so, actually, if negotiations don't work because you have got one negotiator, then you change that negotiator. you are in a minority of conservative mps. not even 48 have called for her to be toppled. most tory mps actually support their prime minister. the decision that i took two weeks ago was not taken lightly, and i did give my association officers, my association members and concerned constituents the benefit of actually telling them what i did, as a matter of courtesy, and listen to

last time two former foreign ministers are in a run off poll the country is transitioning to a parliamentary system which means future presidents will be chosen by members of parliament robin for a steelworker report from tbilisi. really is the government's choice for presidents she's french born and a former diplomat and she has enjoyed significant financial backing in this campaign from the country's richest man. who also is the chairman of the governing party despite that and despite having that backing behind her she has struggled to connect with voters largely over remarks that she made earlier this year in which she said that georgia should take responsibility for its war with russia back in two thousand and eight that really upset a lot of you would you and mr. grig oldfashioned say who is her opponent has been able to capitalize on that so it's going to be a very close race both candidates in the last rounds were virtually neck in there and we have the second round runoff because they weren't able to get more than fifty percent of the vote the first time around now what we're hearing

a quick look now at some of the other parliamentary moments in the item we called the round—up.‘ re being kept in the dark over the brexit negotiations. it is extraordinary that we find ourselves in the situation where michel barnier is briefing meps almost daily and sharing draft texts, when select committees in westminster are kept in the dark. mps on the environmental audit committee got some sustainable fashion tips that may surprise you. the base layer garment, which i have had since i was 20—years—old, believe it or not, i'm 48 now, so that is still perfectly functional. is it m85?! it's another brand. it's perfectly functional as an outdoor product and works really well, as well as it did back then. it's made from plastic. i've got the equivalent garment here, which i really like because it's really soft and it's natural, but this is full of holes now. and mps on the transport committee found out why young people don't use buses. apparently, tickets and how to pay for them are rather confusing. the embarrassment factor was one of the key barriers.

it was a very rare use of a centuries—old parliamentary power, and here's what reportedly happened.mentary ceremonies, like the speaker's procession, they sent him to a hotel in london where an american tech executive was staying — he was visiting on a business trip. and he had a stash of papers that he'd obtained through this court case mentioned there going on in california. now, the dcms select committee won't say how many documents there are, or exactly what's in them — there are reports they may contain private messages between mark zuckerberg and other facebook executives. we don't know that, but we do know, and damian collins — the chair who we heard from there — has said that the committee was moved to do this because it felt it wasn't getting adequate answers from facebook. it sounds rather dramatic. is it anything more than a stunt? well, this is coming after the committee's repeated attempts to get mark zuckerberg to appear before mps, and they've been rebuffed. and, to some extent, this is damian collins and the select committee using what few powers it has, even quite a
