of pomp and ceremony, the state 0pening expect in that? lots of pomp and ceremony, the state opening of parliament, this is the opening of a new parliamentaryeriod since the last one and not a normal queen's speech by any stretch of the imagination because there is a likelihood we will get a general election at some point in the not—too—distant future election at some point in the not—too—dista nt future so election at some point in the not—too—distant future so it is likely this government will only be able to enact these plans if it wins able to enact these plans if it wins a majority at that next general election. which is why labour are referring to this as a tory party political broadcast read out by the queen tomorrow but we will get 22 bills, we are told. 0ne queen tomorrow but we will get 22 bills, we are told. one of the key ones will be legislation needed to enact any brexit deal that is brought back from brussels but then there are lots of other elements to it has welcomed the government looking at a complete overhaul of the way the railways are run for example. there will be legislation on mental health. also patient safety as w

it's a big day in westminster, as mps and the house of lords prepare for the state opening of parliaments with an unsurprising focus on brexit, but also on immigration, crime, rail franchises and environmental policies. meanwhile, eu foreign ministers are meeting in luxembourg, where they'll be updated on the intensive brexit talks. eu ambassadors have been told "big gaps" still remain over disagreements about the northern irish border. the family of the teenager killed in a crash involving the wife of an american diplomat say they won't meet her unless she commits to returning to the uk. the kurdish government says the syrian regime has agreed to send its army to try to halt turkey's offensive against them.

now in any normal week, the state opening of parliament — with a queen's speech setting out the government'sould take centre stage. but westminster hasn't had a "normal" week for years. so on monday we had the pomp but in very strange circumstances. a speech setting out bills that — with no government majority — are highly unlikely to become law. some things, thought, haven't changed — the door is still shut in black rod's face to symbolise the independence of the commons. sarah clarke had to knock. and with that mps filed towards the lords, borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn leading the way. sometimes, this is a moment for small talk between political opponents. sometimes, but not this year. the queen was presented with the speech, which was written by ministers, by the lord chancellor robert buckland. no prizes for guessing the top priority. my government's my priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the 31st of october. my government intends to work towards a new partnership with the european union based on free trade and friendly cooperatio

the government's legislative agenda for the year is being set out during the official state opening of parliamentake a look at the live pictures we're getting right now from london where queen elizabeth as you can see is delivering her speech in which the government outlined some 22 new policies plans to help the u.k. prosper after brock's at are expected to take center stage and m.p. well later votes on the proposals let's bring in more and 3 he's joining us from london so oren's really the speech is happening at an unprecedented time in u.k. politics with bracks it scheduled to happen in just a little over 2 weeks' time so what is the real point of this event then. well that's that's really a very good question lots of people think that cities it is really a nonsense frankly a bit a bit pointless usually what happens is that the government gets elected and then sets out its agenda and there's a great sense of excitement around the queen's speech because it's what the government wants to do as a next few years but of course of the moments you know everyone thinks is going to be an election in in

victoria tower at westminster where only last week we saw her majesty, the queen, with the state opening of parliament. since then, matters have moved fast. britain or the uk parliament hasn't had a saturday session in nearly 40 years. there again, britain has never exited the european union before. so here we are with super saturday. this is boris johnson's deal. it's the deal he finalized a couple of days ago with brussels. the actual act is serve hundred pages long. the protocol on northern ireland is 30 some pages long. the whole thing is extremely complicated and parliament is expected to vote on it today. key members of parliament are giving it the thumbs down. good morning. happy super saturday to you. >> you don't remember the last time parliament sat. >> it's never sat on a saturday in my lifetime. i do remember, i was at university, i was in college and i wasn't actually doing the business yet, 1982, second year of college. but yes, i remember listen to go margaret thatcher. you've got the numbers. >> soever, it doesn't look necessarily that good for boris johnson, but it's looking better by

we have to have a stay opening of parliament, it's a question of how we do it. the real queen speech, full blown ceremonial stateng of parliament hasn't happened for 839 day. you have to go back to david cameron's government for that as well and the pomp and ceremony is quite extraordinary, one of the reasons why people internationally find this country so extraordinary and really quite amazing i have just seen the beef eaters going into parliament gee is queen's entrance the sovereign's interest in victoria tower they search the cellars ahead of the sovereign arriving there because, of course, we had the gun powder plot back in 1605 now, coming back to the 21st century, you have these amazing pageantry with the queen and household calvary going into westminster to basically lay out the government agenda for the next parliament. the parliament is normally circle one year and 22 bill which is the government put forward here as well the opposition said, hang on a second, this is a stunt. it's ludacris. and basically what you've got is a government general election manifesto being dictated to by the queen from the
