Yes, this is life in 2019. Hello and welcome, im Christian Fraser in london and Michelle Fleury is in washington.

Within a few days the highest court in the land will decide whether borisjohnson was acting within the law when he suspended parliament for five weeks longer than usual. At the heart of the case is the question of who has Greater Authority parliament or the Prime Minister.

On one side, dismay on the other. We have a parliamentary democracy. Today, the Supreme Court upheld that verdict, but it wasnt really clear whod won or lost. This judgment does not change the fact that the uk will leave the European Union, and its ourjob to deliver on the instruction the people of the uk have given us. Never has so much attention been given to a Supreme Court case of such enormous constitutional significance, but which may end up having no substantive effect. Well hear from alex salmond, on the path scotland will now take. And labours Emily Thornberry on the partys challenge of trying to appeal to both sides of the brexit debate. Also tonight, should Primary School Children Wear hijabs . We must not normalise it, instead of supporting that practice we should question it because what you are doing is sexualising that child.

It was also confirmed that the chancellor would deliver an economic update onjuly 8. Critics argued there was little new in the plans or the funding. At pmqs, the labour leader reckoned there had been one striking line in borisjohnsons speech. The Prime Minister said, we know that the jobs many people had injanuary are not coming back. I fear that this is the equivalent line to the line in the Prime Ministers speech of march 12, when he said, i must level with you. Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time. And we know what happened next. Thats why there needs to be a laser like focus on protecting jobs. So how manyjobs does the Prime Minister think yesterdays announcement will protect . Mr speaker, i think he first of all might pay tribute to the work of this government in protecting 11 million jobs throughout this crisis.
