In london and manchester. This is a momentous week in the history of the uk, talks are under way to take britain out of the European Union, and this queens speech is therefore expected to set out a legislative programme not for one year but the two years to come. Earlier this morning, this is what happened in Downing Street when the Prime Minister left for parliament. First and last queens speech, Prime Minister . That was mrs may with her husband philip on the way to the houses of parliament. She has had to spend considerable time trying to negotiate a deal with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland in recent days to support this queens speech, and as i speak, there is still no deal in place. But that was part of the reason of course for the delay in arranging this State Opening today. Labours Jeremy Corbyn will also be in parliament today, facing the Prime Minister once again across the dispatch box. That is when the debate gets under way, and he will be looking to amend
Questions in studio were joined by heather long, economic reporter with Washington Post and sahil kapur a bloomberg news. Sahil , youre up first. Neil thank you so much for joining us. I want to ask you about one of the issues a top of the congressional agenda funding the government. How worried are you about a Government Shutdown . The president said he will insist on a border wall. The you think he was right in digging in . I think concern about a Government Shutdown is growing. I am not prepared to say it is likely at the moment. I think it is right we should be concerned and thinking about it. In terms of drawing a line here, my experience has been whoever tries to hold government funding hostage to get something, its usually not a strategy that historically worked out very well. It seems to me there are better ways for the president to get his priority of a border wall done other than threatening of Government Shutdown. Any concerns about the debt limit being raised .

To justify an unprecedented partisan filibuster of a supremt court justice. Some object to the nomination of judge gorsuch because they claim he refuses to answer specific questions, but i ask, how would any of us feel if the judge before whom we might later appear had previously in order to get a confirmation of his nomination on the bench had made certain promises of how he would judge that case when presented at a future date . We would all feel more than a little bit betrayed and even cheated if the judge had prejudged our case before he even heard it.
