in the green could get cold in on this one and so the cabinet isjust a subcommittee of the privy councile the job for life. as a result, all those remainers in the privy council will get together and say we don't want to prorogue parliament, we want to keep going. in other words, parliament is as united as ever? yes. but what is interesting as this is all part the downing street, borisjohnson team of, i don't know, that's go for it, we're going to do it, towards i. this is what people want. people are plotting, it isn't just this is what people want. people are plotting, it isn'tjust boris johnson's team, everybody, every corny of every party —— corner. johnson's team, everybody, every corny of every party -- corner. we can look at this all the time, but we do need to look at the new nhs money to see if that truly is new money. this is a message to people saying we're going to go for it. dominic, the chief of... when you came in, borisjohnson is coming across is a prime minister, he wants to be more than the brexit prime minister, he is acutely aware of that. what did we say to you? i sa

this is the order proroguing parliament that was approved by the queen at the privy council meeting atral. it states that parliament should be suspended no earlier than september the 9th and no later than thursday the 12th of september until the 14th of october — that's nearly five weeks. the prime minister denied that he was trying to silence mps opposed to a no—deal brexit. but senior politicians have condemned the move as an affront to democracy. the commons speaker, john bercow, described it as a constitutional outrage. our political correspondent tom barton reports. this is how the house of commons could look for nearly five weeks in september and october. as the brexit deadline approaches, mps won't be sitting on the green benches. parliament, suspended. boris johnson today speaking to the queen to ask her to bring the current sitting of parliament to a close. but, says the prime minister, this has nothing to do with brexit. if you look at what we are doing, we are bringing forward a new legislative programme on crime, on hospitals. making sure that we have the education funding

not a member of the privy council who was privy to this information in advance, i assume?rned about the possibility of a no—deal brexit and this has very little to do with starting a new session of parliament, it is a deliberate attempt to make sure parliament doesn't sit for a five week period. normally, when we prorogue parliament, it is for five or six days maximum between sessions, so this is pretty unprecedented. and the argument that it coincides with the argument that it coincides with the conference break, when we would normally not sit for three weeks, is pretty specious because the prime minister knew very well that in fact the commons was going to object to adjourning for the conference recess in the first place and was almost certainly going to refuse to pass the conference motion. so this is pretty unprecedented and i think the prime minister will come to regret it. what do you and like—minded —— what are you and like—minded mps going to do about it? we shall consult over the next few days, parliament comes back next week, it still has to come back on the thir

in the past day they have come here to be sworn into the privy council. this meeting, it is quite unusual. we are waiting for them to arrive anytime now. we thank jacob waiting for them to arrive anytime now. we thankjacob rees mogg, as lord president of the privy council, will be heading up the cabinet ministers are going to arrive any time now. in recent years it is safe to say this will be the most significant ministerial meeting to happen here at balmoral. rachel bell and val morrow. rachel bell and val morrow. ——inbound —— inbound moral. so could there be a legal challenge to the suspension of parliament? let's speak to our legal correspondent clive coleman. is there any basis for a legal challenge? there is already one taking place in scotland. in order to suspend parliament, the prime minister has to go to the queen and adviser. as you are hearing in the report, the queen by convention accepts that and does suspend parliament. it is not possible to legally challenge the exercise of the queen's personal prerogative powers in her own courts, you cann

there is a sort of feeling that the privy council jacob rees—mogg went sort of feeling that the privy—mogg went up to him and sort of half wrestled her majesty into having to do this. people have to explain, this is how oui’ people have to explain, this is how our constitution is set up. you know? that she, he has to ask, and she will do it, you know,. you have a sort of tangential link to the royalfamily, don't a sort of tangential link to the royal family, don't you? a sort of tangential link to the royalfamily, don't you? do you think, speculation that her majesty has been put in a difficult position, dragged into politics when she scrupulously stayed out of its? i think not, because i think people are now getting the message that if the prime minister asks her majesty to do it, it'sjust always been a convention that the king or king would do it. but i did think earlier in the day, when i started watching, it was more or less, you know, give us it was more or less, you know, give us the mace, and you know, we want to actually have this. let'sjust move on to the mail, which says bor

it resulted in the loss of the privy council. some were kicked out of cabinet.he immediate aftermath of this very damning report by the ethics commissioner, justin trudeau is standing by his inner circle right now. no—one is getting thrown under the bus, at least not right now. no—one has been kicked off his re—election team. justin trudeau will try to push past this and hope ten weeks is enough distance for the canadians not to vote for him. katie simpson, thank you very much. pakistan's prime minister has declared that global powers will be responsible if war breaks out with india over disputed kashmir. in a speech wednesday, imran khan described delhi's decision to revoke the special status of indian—administered kashmir as a strategic blunder. translation: i keep sending this message to the international community. to those organisations who are meant to stop wars, whose job is to protect the weak from the strong, the united nations. it's not our trial, it's the united nations. you, the united nations, will you stand by your 11 security council resolutions o

the leader of the house of lords and someone else, they met, they form the privy council and agreed togood luck to keep mps five weeks with an extra week added on for good luck to keep mp5 from discussing or stopping a no—deal brexit, although that isn't approved by the government, that is what we think is going to happen. absolutely right. there are anjo swinson road into the queen saying please don't do it. —— wrote to the queen. it's tv gold, worth watching. stick to the point. they won't sue me the queen and they don't do it, your majesty —— they want to meet the queen. i find this interesting because i think next week mps will have a vote not to prorogue. i think you have an issue in parliament being set against the monarchy, never a good thing. also there are legal cases ongoing at the moment questioning this decision to prorogue the queen giving her consent and the high court in edinburgh will, i think at 10am tomorrow morning, that is being led byjoanna cherry, qc of the snp, there are going to be similar hearings in belfast, to gina miller is taking some of the legal action. s

making the case today but the move was officially sealed with the queen by a trio of conservative privy councild her majesty ‘s summer recess at the bell moral estate. are you worried about a legal challenge? this is a com pletely a legal challenge? this is a completely proper constitutional decision. all entirely normal. an brexit backers, guess what? back this also. the prime minister is entitled to seek a new queen's speech, particularly as a new leader, is a new prime minister, he wa nts to leader, is a new prime minister, he wants to set out a domestic agenda and nothing unusual about that. borisjohnson and nothing unusual about that. boris johnson want to write and nothing unusual about that. borisjohnson want to write himself into history as the man who delivered brexit but it could also put in danger his position. so what is the eu making of all this? our europe editor, katya adler, is in brussels. this idea of suspending parliament and the arguments for and against, at such a sensitive time in the uk politics, is seen as a domestic issue. the german chancellor angela merkel and the eu

possiblyjacob rees—mogg in his capacity of the privy council.e to be sworn in to the privy council. in recent times, this meeting here today will be far the most significant ministerial visit to happen here at balmoral. as a lots of activity happening now. it has been quite quiet with members of the public. we have seen some police ca rs the public. we have seen some police cars going past. we will keep you up—to—date when those ministers arrive. rachel, thank you very much. joining me now from westminster is jonathan barclay, the court leader of the green party. good morning. when i spoke to you party colleague yesterday after the meeting she said there was absolute unanimity on the plan to try to take control of the legislative programme. is that plan going to have to change in light of what has happened today?” going to have to change in light of what has happened today? i think we are going to see a four way chess game. there is a legal challenge going on, parliament and executive and the people. i expect to see crowds behind me outside the

she was advised by members of the privy council, they advised the prime minister to go against what she has been advised would be unpress denlid. >> you layed t it out well thank you very much, steve. >> all right on deck. guess who. the one retailer brushing off tariff concerns sending that stock higher this morning an up. the auction starts at 25 grand it has one very famous signature on it. we'll tell you who, coming up. ♪ when you have nausea, heartburn, ♪ ♪ indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea ♪ try new pepto liquicaps for fast relief and ultra-coating. ♪ nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea ♪ get powerful relief with new pepto bismol liquicaps. >>> welcome back in. we have data storage news with your stock to watch right now. first up, box, better than expected second quarter revenue but shares are down. investors are disappointed after the company reiterated it's earnings outlook for the year. plus i'm going to tell you shares of guests, the retail brand are up sharply this morning. second quarter results beating estimates. it raised it's profit forecast for th

and the prime minister very quietly sent up a few of his team up to scotland, privy council members andally got agreement from the queen to suspend parliament. she has to react on that. we didn't know anything about it until it was announced. so opposition party members said they wanted to appeal to the queen, but it was all too late. she doesn't like being dragged into these situations. it's getting increasingly difficult for her to avoid the politics. so she is in a difficult position. and that's a big problem, actually, here in london. many people saying the prime minister has put the queen in a difficult position which you really don't want to do. >> all right, max. thank you very much for explaining all of this to us. i see your knowing glare over at me. >> and again, i'm contractually obligating to never criticize the royal family. but she's obligated to do what the prime minister asks, right? >> and is doing so. >> right. but people are looking at her saying she's in a tough position. what were the alternative? if she said no to the prime minister, she would be ruling which would

the privy council will be visiting the queen today gueask her to proro parliament.ngham palace would be key for the queen not to be involved in political rounds as much as possible. they will be keen for the queen -- for parliament to sort things out themselves and only come to the queen when they need to. could the queen say no or tried delayingactics -- try tactics? theoretically, it is possible. matt: what is the likelihood uedt we get parliament prorog and boris johnson pushing through a hard brexit october 31? alice: parliament will return next week, as is normal. this means if mps want to try to prevent no deal, next week will absolutely be the crunch point. i think this means there will be only around one dozen sitting days between now and the 31st of october. they are really running out of time to try and prevent no deal. i think certainly the chances of no deal have just gone up. at the same time, all options are still on the table. we will have to wait and see what mps are able to do next week. matt: alice, thanks so much for joining us. alice lilly, senio

but of course event speeded up with that privy council meeting at balmoral yesterday so they put in place interim interdict ahead of a full hearing next week. today here at the court of session we had some of the arguments for this interim interdict. the qc for the petitioners argued that while this case is unprecedented, so too are the actions of the government. unprecedented, he said, as well as being unlawful and unconstitutional. he told thejudge being unlawful and unconstitutional. he told the judge that the powers of the executive are never unlimited or u nfettered. the executive are never unlimited or unfettered. he said, we do not live ina unfettered. he said, we do not live in a totalitarian state and that the suspension of parliament meant a denial of political accountability. joanna cherry, lead to petitioner, said that their arguments were not against her majesty the queen, rather they were questioning the legality of the advice that the queen was given. the queen was put in a difficult position and the queen acted on the basis of the advice she was given, and asi basis of the

who is at balmoral where the queen is in residence and where earlier she met with members of the privy councile minister's request. going up to that area, but in the need to make meantime, we have this word that ruth davis might resign. what do we know about that? reports emerged that ruth davidson was considering resigning as the scottish conservative leader. it is mixed political and personal with an davidson returned earlier this year, having taken time off for maternity leave. but it is no secret that she does not support a no—deal brexit and has previously clashed with borisjohnson. we are expecting a formal statement from ruth davidson so we formal statement from ruth davidson so we should find about more than. issues stepping down as a member of the conservative party or simply as a conservative leader or is that still to be determined ? a conservative leader or is that still to be determined? we do not have that information yet, it is suggested she would be stepping down as leader but that does not speak of what her seat will be in parliament, but what we do know is that ruth davidson

charlie is up on the balcony with the man who led a small group of privy council as to the queen to askob rees mogg. would you give us the simplest possible explanation of the procedure the government has now outlined? what happens, normally every year, a new session of parliament began to sell all the business of the previous parliament ceases and you start afresh and you have a queen's speech setting up the policies implemented over the following year. unusually, this session has gone on for over two yea rs session has gone on for over two years so it has been extraordinarily long and at the problem with that is that it has run out of steam. it is a slightly late to have a new session and a queen's speech. there has been confusion over the number of days that mps will be able to debate in the house of commons between now and the time we leave the eu on the 31st. how many days will it be? there will be the debate on the queen's speech, which is usually a— five days and people are free to raise any subjects and people could devote all of that to talk about leaving the european union. th

been given to the queen to agree with the prorogation of parliament was the wrong advice, and the privy counciltever he says about them? given this as a court of law, it would be good if the prime minister of the government could come to scotland or sign a legal affidavit to suggest under oath that what the government are trying to do it in the interests of the country and what they‘re trying to do is prorogued parliament to just have a treat queen speech. nobody believes that. they want to stop mp5 from having their democratic role in the democratic duty to try to prevent a catastrophic no—deal for this country in october. the only way he can achieve that is shutting down parliament. we have three days next week to try to get some legislative change in the withdrawal act, to change in the withdrawal act, to change the date from the 31st of october to prevent a new deal. we will use that and all other avenues, of which the court cases are part. going back to a point you made a moment ago, don‘t you think you‘re putting the queen in a very invidious position, she‘s taken the advice, she is acted

the queen is on holiday and presumably there has to be some sort of privy council meeting with her.y unhappy about this and has written to the queen protesting in the strongest possible terms about this prorogation. not complaining about what the queen has done because it is borisjohnson‘s decision to request the prorogation that has infuriated the labour leader and many others in westminster. thank you very much. parliament was due anyway to go into recess because it is conference season recess because it is conference season at the end of september and at the beginning of october, so in essence what we are really talking about is the loss of seven days in parliament. let's talk to john redwood. i just wonder whether claims of outrageous behaviour, this is clearly a ploy to try and derail any anti no—deal brexit. is clearly a ploy to try and derail any anti no—deal brexitlj is clearly a ploy to try and derail any anti no-deal brexit. i don't agree with that. we have had to yea rs of agree with that. we have had to years of them trying to stop brexit and they have had endless debate
