And fifteen so the no no the no. The question is that amendment fourteen to calls one being made. The minister to move. The question is that amendment. Fourteen to close one be made as well as that of many saline. All of the country know who they are. The. The question is the old one and close to. Stand point it has. The question calls one amended and calls to stand all. The bills as many as that opinion say. All the country no. They always have a yes. Thats my goal. This call. I met three being inconsequential upon the pulsing amendment two cannot love be moved. Date fourth with. Question on third reading minister to move. Mr leslie. Madam Deputy Speaker i was hoping to move the money script amendments at the report stage of the bill the bill has been amended and if the bill is an amended it should be reported to the house and therefore i would like to moveve. The manuscript amendment standing in monday. I could hear the honorable judge one very. Well what is the owner of a gentleman suggesting. That he would like to. Read table or to put in some all the way amendmdments which he had. The isley tabled on which were not selected for more discussion whoops i later in the day none of none of that is because now that the bill has exited Committee Stage of the bill is to be reported to the house and have tables and amendments have reports station i. Should like i should make some news that that money is the man. The honorable gentleman has raised the point is that. The honorable gentleman. Has tables and ththe managagement. And areu not have his amendment beforee me. And. Hi im reading his amendment. For discussion this time. Is that the bill. All right a good time. The fans that opinion say hi. Im good mister speaker. The question is that the b bill be now read the as many as of at a billion say. The country now. Division a little bit. Well welcome b back to the front sorry for news and weve been keeping an eye on whats been happening in london that itd be a bit of confusion that between the Deputy Speaker i im the actual is speak of that the Deputy Speaker seems a little on certain dawn but just what to do next well im glad shes confuse it is a confusing situation but what just happened is that mps voted against the idea. Of holding the election on the nineteenth of december and i was an amendment put forward instead of the twelfth of december so it does look as though the election is going to go ahead on the twelfth of december this idea of it happening three days earlier in order to accommodate more students appears to have been rejected by three hundred and fifteen to two hundred and ninety five. Lets close to principles but itd probably hes patiently s standing by r us outside the house of parliament in the cold but it does what do we know now. That we didnt know twenty minutes or so ago. Well what we know now is that the second reading has been so the second stage if you want all of this bill introduced only today. Lets remember by the Prime Minister. Requesting an early general election which is tried three times. In different circumstances and as recently as yesterday. To get for the twelfth of december that much needed approval from peas. Hes got that through to the second stage. And run usually what would normally take several days. Is the mission of the government to its objective is to get through all the passengers. All of this bill through the house of commons in the lower chamber. By the end of today and in fact in the in the coming hoffman out or i so that it can then moved to the Upper Chamber the loads. Up so thats what. I think there is a vote on. A right now and this is why a an experienced speaker which john burkett is having been in the chat for ten years and lets remember that hes about. To stand down he will be giving up his seat. As announced on the thirty first of october. Even if the United Kingdom is no longer living do or die. No ifs or buts and come what may the e. U. As it was he has obtained requested and obtained. An extension to the thirty first to johnny twenty twenty so we now know. That the date of the general election is expected very much to be the thursday twelfth of december. That is what the government wanted. And it is traditional. To vote on a thursday here in the United Kingdom. Okay and thats the only predictable aspect to help the selection is the fact that. The british like Holding Elections on a thursday but they dont like elections in december that hasnt happened. Since nineteen twenty three i think its fair to say that he that every other aspect. All of this election is extremely difficult to predict. Absolutely sports on it thats right because although the polls give. The conservative policy with a thirteen twelve point sometimes. Yes possibly as low as three point lead on the labor party and although the ratings of Boris Johnson far higher than that of the leader of the Main Opposition Labour PartyJeremy Corbyn. There is no doubt that briggs it is dividing not just Political Parties but families up and down the United Kingdom here we are almost three and a half years off the verdict to the british people 52 voted not predicted by the polls lets remember that. Seventeen point four Million People voted in favor of that divorce with the twenty seven of the e. U. Countries up but whether they like general elections or not since two thousand fourteen we have the Scottish Referendum in two thousand fifteen we had a conservative general election which brought back. Again not protected by the polls David Cameron in two thousand seventeen trees are made to try and sort out. Brings it and she thought and holds the majority of seventeen which she did harrison from. The Prime MinisterDavid Cameron called a general election we know how that went she then how do a confidence and supply governments with the d. U. P. The democratic units of Northern Ireland so crucial it turns out for the backstop to this process. And of course of two thousand eighteen negotiations and breaks it and here we all two thousand nineteen and yes another general election so this is a loss of posting a loss of voting there is brexit fatigue. Across not just the Political Class but of course across all this on such a different vote on vestiges of four companies up. British ones but also international ones whether they need to have good headquarters for example in Continental Europe because of course the u. K. Is in europe will remain so even if it. Chooses not to be in the e. U. The european. Union and yes totally unpredictable b because electios always have a momentum of their own im because lets remember not protected by the polls Jeremy Corbyn labor party did fall better than had been predicted by the polls. And of course were in a different not just a two party system anymore thats very much the result i think of breaks this and other up. Possibly other issues but very much with the label. Democrats could do well the Scottish National party serbians. And is expected to do extremely well im so its unclear also. The fact that the Prime Minister. Boris johnson has from the word go in downing street said do or die no ifs or buts and come what may we will be leaving. On the thirty first of october. And that thats no longer happening on that he has broken that fundamental pledge that the European Research group within the conservative party the heartbreak that his and others really expected him trusted him. Voted for him as leader. For him to really go ahead with that mission that theyd entrusted. Nigel farrars the head of the bridge that partys been awfully quiet. But i think i confirm the project. The t. Will be in the coming days and weeks making his voice heard im certainly. Jeremy corbyn has made it very clear that breaking up pledge is just one example of the Prime Minister. A Prime Minister who cannot be trusted to wear hearing already the general election arguments. That we will hear for many weeks to come it seems in the lead up. To what we think will now be a general election on the twelfth thursday the twelfth. Of december. Yeah thursday is the only thing about the election will make it. Like every other election the u. K. Has seen thank you so much but itd probably of that in london thank you for bringing us up to speed. Watching these developments with me in the studio with almond georgian from our International Affairs does scott allman lots o of uncertainty a and segment of confusion there the house of commons thihis evenining won te british newspaper. Today leading with the headline can boris win. His christmas gambleled that is the question. A lot of people are asking what are the numbers look like what sort of a chance does Prime MinisterBoris Johnson hold in this election he so badly mauled stopping on the twelfth of december. Well first of all we dont know how. The fact of breaking his promise will hurt him so the fact that he said you know. Well leave do ordain a do or die no ifs or buts id rather be dead in a ditch them stay in the e. U. After october thirty first so how does breaking that promise. Hurt him clearly the opposition we use that as an example of why he cant be trusted but then people dont trust them only that but his. Trust in politicians is very low generally so given how low that trust is across the board. Possibly Boris Yeltsin breaking his. Promise might not actually hurt him as much as it would have done otherwise but there are a lot of dynamics. You know both regional and had to do with. The split in the broadly speaking prior remain in pro brexit capsule lets talk about. The regional issues festival its possible pollsters have been saying he could lose seats to the liberal democrats in the southeast and of course. Boris johnson is seen as not playing very well in Northern England which is very important for the conservative party of they have to win those leave. Biz kind of brexit leaving labor constituencies they have to price those away from labor in the north of england. Boris johnson doesnt play particularly well in those northern constituencies according to some polls and does the other thing i mentioned. The sort of grand split on both sides of the brexit argument. So on the one hand youve got. The split between the labor party and the liberal democrats say at that means that remain voters could go to either of those parties. And then if you look at the conservative look at the bright side of things probably a split between the bricks policy and the conservative party as well say what makes for a very uncertain results. Who said the fact that its in december it will be dark maybe snowy in some places will older people who generally tend to be more pro brexit billy b. Out voting. If its a really horrible you know wintry day will it theyve got that postal votes sorted out in advance we would turn out be low because we know from polls that. Ad does not a lot of enthusiasm for another election lease things make for a huge amount of uncertainty dont but i think one thing that we can say for sure is that Boris Johnson has to potential messages if he gets his Withdrawal Agreement bill furry between now and the the election. He can say i delivered brexit thats a clear message if he hasnt got the Withdrawal Agreement three he can say give me a majority said that i can finish the job that suits a relatively clear message the visit to potentially. Quite clear messages for him to get the votes and thats where and what he does have an advantage over labor because the labor policy what is its clear message on brexit it is its well if we are in power we will. Re negotiate an agreement with the European Union then well. Put it to a vote of the british people but then some of all. Front bench will campaign against our own deal its very its a very very hard sell on on the doorstep. Indeed proba. Gamble by anyones standards thank you very much indeed on the georgian that and thats the scenene in the househehe proboblem will go straight back but just as soonon as wewe get outcome of that vote on whether indeed the vote goes ahead on the twelfth. Of december. Now the news a Senior Adviser to the us President Donald Trump today became the first Current White House official to testify the impeachment inquiry. On the left and colonel Alexander Lindemann advise the president on matters relating to ukraine and it was after all during the phone call. To kiev the President Trump austins ukrainian opposite number to try and dig up does. The former us Vice President joe biden as well as his son will test to find out on capitol hill today even the man said he was alarmed at what the president had asked of a foreign power. And that he had reported the mass out of concern to us National Security. Lets get the latest from process was kind of a gorgeous tony in washington can i just help us understand just how wills that testimony that on capitol hill today. What was the first reason why at this testimony is is because alexander and then men is actually the first official. Who was actually on that july twenty fifth call who actually listened to it first hand. To agreed to testify in front of those a house committees. And as you said that he expressed that and now and we havent seen it what what happened in the hearings but there was. A draft of his Opening Statements that was released before at the hearing as started where. A he expressed his concern about that july twenty fifth call he said. I did not think it was proper to demand that these four in a government investigate a u. S. As citizen. A concern that pushed him to go and see at the top council added at the National Security and counsel but there is another part that concerned him. It was at a july tenth and meeting and be tween cordon as someone. You add the a Us Ambassador to the e. U. At that someone happen with that is some at a ukrainian officials where he explicitly. As said at that meeting between as a lynskey and donald trump would only be possible if. The korean government started looking into joe a blind in and there again. And then men said he was concerned and said he confronted. At gordon someones as saying that and his awards were inappropriate. And that is why at this is a so if at the hearing actually went. Accorording to add that te early and drafted that weve seen. And its also a just the echoes at the previous at testimonies that weve ever heard in a recent weeks. As soon regarding and actual why add twenty of fifty a phone call between donald trump and one in here as a landscape. It is a also because we. And then when was not born in the United States but born in ukraine and move to the west when he was just three years old some saying that he might be guilty of espionage. As a we was seen some very harsh words against this witness which seems to show is that the republicans and the Trump Administration are not very at ease w with his testimony. Okay well thank you very much indeed for that update from city falls can i go to sonny that. In that washington thank you for bringing us up to speed.
