rory: i will share an idea with the clerks in the audience. one of the huge values of this experience is not as much the relationship with the justice as with your co-clerks. those are still some of my closest friends and some of us are still having a reunion this weekend. that is a huge thing to think about. there is a basketball court in the court. did you ever play in the court? >> not very well. rory: nobody plays very well but that is why we are all law clerks. [laughter] it is important to do that because the collegiality among the chambers was important to the way the term went. 1984, a few decisions, no earth shattering once, but the clerks all got along. that is not true every term. the idea i want to put out there, i don't know why justices don't share law clerks across chambers. i will publish this in the gw law review, the idea of sharing clerks across chambers. lots of clerks do this. -- lots of courts do this. attorneys work for lots of the judges. it leads to a better exchange of ideas and work product. what is different? first,

chalons in london where thousands of people are marching out on the streets rory there on. upset with how things have been going ever since briggs it the 1st vote took place what is their message to parliamentarians now as they consider this forest johnson deal. or the message is pretty simple it's the parliamentarians m.p.'s in the house of commons of the moment should vote down boris johnson's deal they think that this is a terrible deal they thought that the reason may's deal was terrible as well in general everyone here thinks is a bad idea and that the best way forward the best way of solving the divisions in britain society is to go back to the people with another referendum another vote where they could be asked once more whether they think leaving the european union is a good idea because for most of the polls that have been done over the last couple of years it seems like public opinion very slightly has edged back into the remaining camp that most people in the country by a small margin would prefer to stay in the european union and therefore they think that if th

the gentle aeration who are a challenge and stand by london to get the view from there and rory while we're hearing about a good deal for all the reasonable and fair and certainty where there was uncertainty is not a lot of certainty when it comes to the politics of these in the u.k. is that. no absolutely not this is why the country has been essentially paralyzed over breck's it for the best part of the last 3 years nobody can really predict what is going to happen on saturday when these m.p.'s gather in the house of commons to thrash through the details of this deal and to work out whether they can give it that supports or not is now of course boris johnson and its supporters in the cabinets and downing street etc. going to be positioning this as essentially a take it or leave it like if you. if you can't vote for this well then there is no alternative but to leave with no deal but of course as we've seen over the past month or so parliament has told him essentially that there has to be a deal if there is no deal then he has to get an extension and that extension has to be used to e

chalons in london to get the view from london rory as we were just saying there a deal may have been reached between boston and the e.u. but this isn't a deal that the u.k. has yet agreed to so how is johnson going to sell this to parliament and can. selling it by calling it a great deal. this is a reason very said when she brought a deal back from brussels as well the only deal in town at the moment he does seem to be being chewed on by plenty of conservative m.p.'s including people like jeremy hunt. a former minister and former candidate for the prime ministerial position was forced johnson eventually dogs who were cheering boris johnson on for achieving what many people said was essentially impossible for opening up the with george agreement again and getting rid of the backstop bots forest johnson as done this by essentially caving in on many of the things that the british government had said were red lines for a long long time having any kind of customs checks and regulate 3. distinct in between northern islands and the rest of the k things like that do you have a veto on on the

health service investing in 20000 more police lifting up a living wage and many many other things roryalons is standing by in london 1st i will go to lawrence lee in brussels lawrence there are still some chapters to play out in this story but just take us through how we got to this point where the deal has been done between the e.u. and u.k. . childe stan just just before i get on to that i just want to bring you up to speed with something that happened after that joint news conference between boris johnson and the european commission because younger after that was asked given that they've now come up with this deal that both sides seem to be happy with would he recommend that spread sits is extended because there's this idea that if they can't get over the line that have to be an extension again and young said to reporters no there is a deal now and i am not going to recommend a prolongation or an extension past october 31st which is really slight 2nd everybody by surprise because what it's employees isn't john claud younker of the european commission having said he's very sad about

chalons in london and rory a lot of talk now about these deal we've heard the tweets from bars johnson and joke of it of course still has to be ratified and the democratic unionist standing in the way to take us through that. yeah this is sounding and looking very familiar isn't it because we have been pretty much in this position before the reason mate got a deal with the european union brought it back and it went down like a lead balloon in parliaments time and time again well boris johnson is now having his go and already the signs are looking worrying for him because that d p as you say the northern irish party that wants links between the mainland u.k. and northern ireland to be as close as possible is saying that it cannot support this in its current form into a statement from them this morning that said as things stand as things stand we can't support what is being suggested on customs and consensus shoes and there is a lack of clarity on v. 8 c. issues we will continue to work with the government to get something that works for northern ireland to protect the economic and const

he he welcomes everyone to that particular race, but rory stewart says he will now have an an opportunityo test his contention, that the tone of his old party is too aggressive for brexit, and people are in the mood for compromise.

philip hammond, rory stewart, for example.ll stand to be mayor of london, so he's taking a different path. the conservative party has struggled with the question is europe but it has united as much as it can with current prime minister and leader boris johnson it can with current prime minister and leader borisjohnson —— question of europe. many would argue they are not united at all, still a mess with the back benches full of people extremely cross with their prime minister. but they have all supported their leader's withdrawal agreement, so there is unification there and going to the electorate with a view that says, "that's the prime minister's deal", that is something candidates on the doorstep can rely on and use as a clear message and that's what people want when it comes to an election, especially when they are fighting through the christmas aisles, the shopping and getting the turkey ready and everything else. the parties who land their clear m essa 9 es parties who land their clear messages about the direction of trav

former tory leadership candidate rory stewart says he's quitting the conservative party and standing mp at the next election. the mp for penrith and the border was among the number of mps who had the conservative whip removed by the government over brexit. mr stewart rose to promenace in the recent tory leadership contest and has been vocal critic of borisjohnson and strongly against a no—deal brexit. the uk hasjoined the united states and australia in raising serious concerns about plans by facebook to encrypt all messages sent on its services. the home secretary priti patel has co—signed an open letter to the company's chief executive mark zuckerberg, arguing that the move will make it harder for the authorities to fight crime — particularly child abuse. facebook says it's consulting with child safety experts, governments and technology companies to keep people safe. in a bid to quell another weekend of anti—government protests, hong kong has banned the use of face masks. hong kong chief executive carrie lam used emergency powers to bring in the ban, following widespread violence t

rory stewart, we appreciate you talking to us this afternoon. thank you.bour is our northern ireland economics and business editorjohn campbell. tell us more about what the thinking is. there has been so much for people to digest various ideas about what might replace the backstop if borisjohnson were what might replace the backstop if boris johnson were successful. what might replace the backstop if borisjohnson were successful. i think one of the big develops this week is that the uk government and the dup have acknowledged for the first time that the only way you are going to be able to keep the land border open in ireland is for northern ireland to continue to follow the eu rules on things like food, agriculture and manufactured goods. that would mean there would not have to be any checks for those product standards as they cross the irish border. but what it would mean is they would be a new regulatory border within the uk and that border would be somewhere around here in belfast harbour. in practice, what it would mean is that goods coming into north

it runs to 110 pages in the case being made by rory stewart a nd pages in the case being made by rorynd others is that the three and a half days set down for this rapid and intensive debate to get it through parliament quickly, there is a lot of opposition to it. at the european parliament in strasbourg the european council president donald tusk told meps the political situation in the uk had become more complex and that eu leaders would decide whether to grant any brexit extension based on what westminster did or did not decide. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier said the deal reached last week was "the only possible agreement". from strasbourg our correspondent adam fleming reports. tonight, the moment of truth. good morning, sir. do you think it will go through? it's the only question being asked today in the european parliament. president tusk, do you think the deal will go through tonight? are you going to cross your fingers? presidentjuncker, do you think the deal will go through tonight? the answer can't come soon enough for some in the eu. in truth, it has pained me to s

châlons in london rory that optimism aside this is numbers in the end and how those numbers lookingright now for bars. well assuming we have a full house in parliament tomorrow boris johnson needs 320 m.p.'s at least survive for his deal to get in through and as it stands at the moment looking at how this stacks up he might well be between 5 and 16 or so m.p.'s short of that number he basically now that the d.p. of ruled themselves out saying they can vote for it needs to rely on the m.p.'s who call themselves the sponsons now these are the conservative and p's hard line breaks it is to vote it down to reason may's deal several times he needs them on board he also needs the m.p.'s who were thrown out of the parliamentary party conservative party for voting against a no deal he needs them on board as well and he needs and not labor m.p.'s rebelling against their party to come over to his side to get this thing through so that is a big big aust for him and it's certainly not clear at the moment that the numbers are stacking up to get that it is worth pointing out though that what we m

the conservative mp rory stewart has revealed he is quitting the party, and standing down at the nextn. the prime minister's chief advisor on europe will be holding another round of talks in brussels today, aimed at breaking the brexit deadlock. the financial watchdog, the fca, says millions of customers are overpaying for car and home insurance because industry competition isn't strong enough. the home secretary, priti patel, is calling on facebook to rethink its plans to encrypt messages on its platforms. sport now, and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. katerina johnson—thompson has been reflecting on a magnificent gold in the world athletics heptathlon. she broke the british record in the process, with a far better long jump than her main rival. then a personal best in the javelin, which is traditionally one of her weaker events — that was one of four pbs in doha. and she rounded off a fantastic couple of days, by winning the 800 metres to take gold. and after only about an hour's sleep, kjt told us what she plans to do next. one thing i'm desperate to do is

boris johnson if he down on bended knee and apologist of borisjohnson if he can get a deal because rorynced that it was a fa ntasy utterly convinced that it was a fantasy and he has done it. so whatever happens now is a pretty impressive feat for him and even if he does not manage to get it through parliament, it does feel as though todayis parliament, it does feel as though today is felt like the conservative party has come together again. nicholas for example on one side who is no longer even officially a conservative mp piecing hats off to borisjohnson, we conservative mp piecing hats off to boris johnson, we thought conservative mp piecing hats off to borisjohnson, we thought it was impossible and we have peter bohn saying that he might support it. so whatever happens now, boris has his party together, i think. talk to us about this deal and how much better oi’ about this deal and how much better or different is it from theresa may‘s withdrawal agreement. people say hers was not ideal for a lot of people, but in many peoples estimations, it was better than this. to make the differen

chalons is live for us at westminster in london so rory this cans getting kicked so far down the road so often it must be getting a bit rusty and a bit bashed up now. yeah well who yet again john bercow the speaker of the commons has thrown a stick in the spokes of the government's own it's rather warbly an accident prone bicycle rides it was bricks it and what this means essentially is the government can't get the momentum that it wants to have as it heads into a very very difficult week it's kind of proof that it has the numbers behind its bricks it deal with the european union what it has to do now is table lists withdrawal agreement bill basically which is going to have a hugely difficult time getting through in its naked state and we can talk about this now with dominic welch from from open europe i don't think this is going to be a very very unpleasant week for the governments isn't it what is likely to be going on over the next couple of days so they're going to table the withdrawal agreement bill this evening and then they go it will be voted on tomorrow the 1st question is go

there was an amazing year from there. >> i will turn next to rory little. you did clerk for five justices which has to be the modern record. tell us the story about how you got first hired by justice stewart. and then you became the serial law clerk. >> thank you to you and to jeff rosen. how many law students are in the crowd? raise your hand and be proud. if you're still looking for a job, these people are looking. i got there through the backdoor in the sense that i applied twice to the supreme court to different years and was rejected by all nine justices two years running. and i had a visiting professor at yale who was disenchanted with yale who wrote a letter for me and when he did so, he said to me, by the way, i will write for you but you have to remember being selected is like being struck by lightning. i think he was trying to let me down easy. you're not going to be in the crew. justice stewart it was not as well-known that the retired justices had clerks at the time. a friend said blackman just hit and you are done but have you thought about the

. >> i will turn next to rory little. you clerked for five justices. which had to be like the modern record. tell us how you first got hired by justice stewart and then how you became the serial law clerk. [laughter] >> how many law students do we have in the crowd? raise your hand and be proud. >> i got there through the back door in the sense that i applied twice to the supreme court two different years and was rejected by all nine justices two years running. i had a visiting professor at yale who was disenchanted with yale who wrote a letter for me and when he wrote the letter he said to me, by the way, way, i will write for you, but you have to remember being selected is like ink struck by lightning. i thought he was trying to let me down easy. you're just not to be in that group. it was not as well-known as the retired justice had clerks at the time. a friend of mine clerking for justice blackmun said you are done. you did not get picked. but, have you thought about the retired justice? no, i had not. i sent a letter to justice stewart. there was

rory cellan—jones, bbc news.ainly driven by migration. latest estimates from the office for national statistics show the number of people will increase by 4.5% to nearly 69.5 million by the middle of 2028. now, pacer trains — otherwise known as rail buses — they were introduced in the 1980s as a stop gap solution to a lack of rolling stock. but decades later, they're still being used and northern rail says they will continue to be in service for some years yet. that's prompted calls for passengers who have to use them to get compensation. danny savage reports. the train leaving platform 12 is from somewhere around 1985. they are called pacers, with folding doors like a bus, and arguably they look like a bus, and arguably they look like a bus on rails. the ride is somewhat lively, and the noise on board can be distracting. lots of passengers think they are terrible, and highlight a north— south divide in transport standards. they are an absolute nightmare. absolutely freezing during the winter. i've had one where

coming hours natasha butler is standing by for us in paris with more on that but 1st let's cross it see rory chalons is live in manchester at the conservative party conference. boris johnson has a break proposal for the e.u. after his conference speech are we any the wiser as to what it is. well this is boris johnson having fun once again after a pretty chaotic 2 months or so prime minister he's lost we receive votes in parliament cities had the supreme court ruled that he acted unlawfully but here he was in front of an enthusiastic crowd of conservatives he was making a very boris johnson joke referring to things like a spinning pizza wheel of death even a kangaroo's private parts but in terms of. bailing out the detail of what this deal is that he is proposing to the european union there wasn't all that much substance in this speech we just heard from him a little bit there saying that there would be no checks at or near the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but details that have leaked to the british newspaper the daily telegraph basically spell out what we belie

speaking of ireland — rory mcilroy says he'll represent them at next year's olympics. northern ireland, he could have played for team gb but having spent his youth in irish colours, he's pledged his allegience to ireland and says he's excited to become an olympian in tokyo next summer. dan evans has been knocked out of the swiss indoors tournament in basel. the new british number one lost in straight sets to the american frances tiafoe who will now face stan wawrinka in the next round. wales are in tokyo right now — preparing for sunday's rugby world cup semi final against south africa. centres jonathan davies and hadleigh parkes are expected to be fit but training today had one extra special visitor. prince charles — if the picture hadn't given it away by now. his royal highness and andy swiss too. it was a day rugby royalty met the real thing. after spending yesterday ata real thing. after spending yesterday at a ceremony for the new japanese emperor, a very different gathering for the prince of wales, given a signed assurance by the welsh players, ahead of their wor

so rory is the go ca sions continue between the u.k. and the e.u. in brussels what's actually going on in london. well i think with the shower this takes. the expectation all for any. deal this evening has got lower and lower and the sources that have been talking to british media from inside the government and now saying that they don't think that that is going to happen tonight basically the you and islands seem to be broadly happy with what they have discussed with the british government with downing street but downing street does not seem yet to have been able to convince the d. u.p.a. the ulster northern irish unionist party that is crucial to getting any deal over the line that what they can offer is is good enough yet for them to sign up to it now the d e p are very wary about the idea of a border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. regulator e and customs border that is what seems to be being talked about in that in that deal this deal that was trying to hash out with the european union so if they are going to come

well, ahead of the zozo championship, tiger woods competed alongside rory mcilroy, jason day and hidekie players compete on holes for between $10,000 and $100,000. jason day pocketed the prize after winning the decisive final hole, to finish above tiger woods, who came tied second. baseball's world series starts on tuesday. it's a first—ever for the washington nationals. who go to the houston astros for game one. the astros only clinched their american league championship on saturday, taking that 11—2 against the new york yankees. while the nationals have had their feet up for a week since sweeping the st louis cardinals 4—0 in the national league championship. when you go for game one, everything goes out the window. adrenaline will kick in. the h of getting the game going. i think obviously, having to lay off and other people can say what they want. for us i joke around that we have the or the steam and it gives us time to rest our bodies and recover a little bit. and get ready to play. and, after a successful season so far winning the french and us opens, rafa nadal it could be said

chalons joins us live from westminster rory as ever with bricks at things forward and they're in for a busy old few days inside the house of commons. absolutely so basically parliamentarians had rules that in order to make the withdrawal agreements from the european union constitutionally legally had to clear 2 main hurdles it had to have a meaningful vote in which they said yes to it in principle and then it had to go through the normal legislative process of being made into a bill and passed into law now it didn't actually matter which order those 2 came in but the government was hoping that it could get the meaningful vote done 1st before the withdrawal agreement bill that would give its essential the momentum going into that soldier's process of actually nailing it down into law give them a psychological edge so john bercow the speaker has basically ruled that was not allowed to happen because of the vote that was amended in the houses of parliament on saturday so essentially now the government has to go into this withdrawal agreement and build process without really knowing whet

the final games for coach joe schmidt and skipper rory best, hardly the exits they'd have wanted.s were fantastic tonight. look, i've loved every minute of it. my team—mates, the coaching staff, and probably in particularjoe as well who is moving on. i think he brought irish rugby and probably my game in particular to a different level when he came here. so once again, ireland head home at the quarterfinals. remember, they'd come into this tournament as the world number ones, but their hopes have ended in more disappointment. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. wales are in quarter—final action tomorrow morning, and they'll be at full strength when they face france. coach warren gatland has named the same team that beat georgia and australia in the pool stages. wales have won seven of their last eight games against france — including a 2a—i9 victory in paris in february en route to clinching the grand slam. and wingerjosh adams says having the tag of favourites is something his teammates will relish. they said we are favourites going into australia game. it was a tag we don't mind having

. >> clerk: i have angela then ken and victoria and then rory. >> thank you, commissioners. didn't hear if we established a quorum on the commission. i wondered if you have. >> president buell: we have a quorum. >> okay, so this can go forward. i'm angela, i'm here following ms. thompson. i'm inspired by the things she gets involved in and mr. johnson's efforts and life long commitment to elevating who we are as african-americans here in san francisco. it is a sitting thing that i, who like him, go to the fillmore to see black people. to have a section of the harvey milk library designate that again, the warmth in the life of black people, the culture, the social, being visible finally in a city that has seen a depletion from 2010 at 6% to 5.6 right now, it's a fitting thing. thank you for considering this. i believe it will go forward. thank you. >> president buell: thank you. >> clerk: ken and victoria? >> hello. my name is victoria whiteball. and i'm here because my father, don white and david johnson were peers, students together at the california school of fine arts, no

so there is a frustration and does it go anywhere from here a lot of people think side from the for rory the human rights for o'ree it's going away and we see all the evidence of that in terms of the geopolitics. that is andrew symonds at the turkish prosecutor's office here in stand bowl and from there we move to a location that we are all too familiar with the saudi consulate in istanbul and jamal shale is there for us where you have stood for many days and so many of our correspondents have been there for so many days and weeks jamal tell us what's been happening there today. well come at the same time as we started this special coverage a memorial service kicked off is well it's one that's been dubbed as a moment of silence a very clear message from the friends of the from members of human rights organizations from symbols of those who continue to struggle against oppressive regimes that the murder of the saudi journalist in the building behind me will not achieve the goals intended by those who tried to silence them speaker of the speaker have come out onto the stage and they've spo

well certainly the conservatives are trying to suggest that they did for the reason that rory gave in that report the 1st time that parliament's back to breaks a deal but in a sense that in itself is slightly misleading because a number of opposition labor m.p.'s vote sees for the day that their deal along with all the conservatives only because they wanted to try to change an amended its further down the line and said that they wouldn't vote for a scene in future and so even though boris johnson won by 30 tonight that only means that needs 15 m.p.'s a change their mind further on and then he would have lost and so in that sense some commentators suggesting that this would have been the biggest margin of victory he's he's ever likely to get but certainly the i think the headline of the night is in that he actually won that but that he has now totally lost control of the timetable since he announced. that votes that he was going to pause talks in parliament serve a brick sits on wednesday and thursday the only sitting days in parliament this week they're going to be back to discussing

rory thank you for that well let's get the situation now in belfast because northern ireland has been critical needs bark and now outlines that position in northern ireland boris johnson is 45 votes short of getting his plan over the line in parliament he needs every single one of the 10 democratic unionist m.p.'s in westminster to back it and what we've seen over the course of the morning in multiple statements is that they will not back it for various different reasons they've said that it damages the integrity of the united kingdom they've raised deep concerns about northern ireland being seen as a different tax. arrangement a different tax area compared to the rest of the united kingdom they've also raised some concerns about how the northern ireland assembly here behind me will function in all of this as well they have raised concerns about boris johnson's plan to keep northern ireland more aligned with the single markets i.e. more aligned with the republic of ireland than with the united kingdom going forward in order to make that arrangement democratic boris johnson has said we

let's get the latest now from rory chalons and he joins us from brussels and rory eagerly this hour there's always a little bit anxious to make sure that this time something does happen before the next brogues the deadline. well what they want to do is to give the u.k. enough time to get its stuff sorted and to get out of the european union in some sort of orderly fashion as we heard there with lawrence talking to his guest what the e.u. was most worried about he's still most worried about is a no deal brecht's it so yes they don't want this dragging on and on and on and on forever. but they fear the u.k. crashing out with no deal more than that when. the e.u. granted the u.k. a 6 month extension. but last time donald said don't waste this time well what's happened that time has rolled around there 6 months gone past now and nothing more has been resolved they don't really want this going on forever of course but they want to give the u.k. enough time and now they have it pretty assured that the u.k. is heading towards an election they think that it is only with an election or perhaps a 2nd

rory, how are you doing? cheers, thank you.s still a huge stigma if you are a man talking with mental health problems or are talking about stress and we need to challenge that and continue to challenge it. there has been huge strides forward in the last 20 years and i have been working in the field but we still have so far to go, so far to go because men are still reluctant to seek help, and then are still reluctant to actually reach out and that moment of crisis. three years ago it happened, the first time, to one of my friends. lloyd's brotherjordan plays for a local team. he is surrounded by suicide. there have been four connected just to his team in recent years. it is a common thing but it should not be a common thing. it is happening far too often. the when it happens on a couple of occasions, you see the consequences it leaves behind. motherwell wear armbands for paul gared, their former goalkeeper. watching the game as his mother catherine. he was very much a bubbly chap, maybe a touch spoiled, i do not know, very sport
