Center of the mother of all parliaments i think youve got to be very very concerned if m. P. s dont come together next week dont voters johnson in his tracks they and i think that is the key you keep democracy. Also coming up a 16 year old climate activist just sailed across the atlantic and docked in new york harbor on a mission to stop Climate Change and she didnt leave a single Carbon Footprint but it is saying that 60 will have to trust the Atlantic Ocean to make a stand and 2 and. This of course is not something that i want everyone to do. Viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and around the world well we begin the day with the u. K. s new Prime MinisterBoris Johnson the closer than hes ever been to 2 things britain crashing out of the. Paean union and Boris Johnson out of a job as Prime Minister today johnson announced that he will suspend parliament for 5 weeks beginning in mid september ending just 2 weeks before breaks it begins on october 31st his request today was approved by the queen and wets westminster there was more anger than approval opposition lawmakers and even conservatives accusing johnson of acting like a dictator showing disregard for parliament especially a parliament that wants to stop a new deal breaks it time is running out for parliament and it could also run out for Boris Johnsons new hold on power as i said on the steps of st were not going to wait until october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward and this is a new government with a very exciting agenda we need new legislation weve got to be bringing forward new and important bills thats why we are going to have a queens speech and were going to do it on the 40 he is trying to prevent Parliament Holding him to account and we will do absolutely everything we can next tuesday to legislate to prevent him doing that and oppose this government for what its doing take us out of the e. U. We have to deal this is an abuse of process its whatever it is johnson saves and however he tries to dress up this is a bit trying to stop a majority in Parliament Coming together to avoid a new duplex it well if theres a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom well brights it survive this will Prime MinisterBoris Johnson government survive this weve got complete coverage tonight with me here at the big table is my colleague Alex Forrest Whiting our resident westminster insider with years of very 40 experience on u. K. Politics and joining us tonight from italy is roger consolidate former labor m. P. He is now with the new year. Paeans thats an engine go that lobbies to protect civil rights for all busy europeans to both of you welcome that we start with you the timing of this it could not be worse for westminster can we believe johnson when he says this has nothing to do with bracks. Absolutely not there is no doubt that Boris Johnson and all those surrounding him know that this has everything to do with bricks it this is these are guerilla tactics this is go in a warfare and it has all the finger marks of Boris Johnsons un special advisor Dominic Cummings he is the man who successfully led the live come paying in the brics that referendum back in 2016 the aim here is to confuse the opposition to take them off guard and that is exactly whats happened look there are m. P. s from around 6 Political Parties who want to thwart a no deal brechts it even some from Boris Johnsons own conservative party but so far they have spoken without a unified voice yesterday however they managed to agree that yes they would try to hold some put on some kind of legislation to force Boris Johnson to go to brussels to say lets delay brechts it that however now looks much less likely to be able to happen as far as Boris Johnson you know he can be this can be called an undemocratic move a threat to parliamentary suffering but has he actually a broken the rules the answer probably is no and that is because the government is the executive they still have a lot of power over a parliament because they control the parliamentary timetable this those set a president and many people are saying its a very dangerous precedent all the older everything that is done so for is legal as you say reeves spoken several times on this program about. People such as yourself by labor to get a 2nd bridge that referendum to you put that dream to bed now havent you. Well. I still think that that is the way forward to do exactly as you europeans posed is to. Get the withdrawal of the mint if it is through the house of commons on to the statute books but with a sunset cruel that would allow for a referendum on the actual reality of the Withdrawal Agreement and if britain voted to stay then the will it will be needed and if it voted to leave a 2nd time then britain would leave on the basis of which will be cool ready to be law but for that to happen we need a new government to be not going to see that happen under the forest. For sure and thats why i need people be m. P. s must it is his have admitted no confidence in the junction of what the of when i ask you what do you think do you think were going to get that vote of no confidence being led by Jeremy Corbyn because a lot of people could argue that Jeremy Corbin is partly responsible while why the u. K. Is in the position its in right now. Well if i was in the house comes now talking to moderate conservatives and are trying to build a consensus. Which is what is what is needed. A strong and stable consensus in the center of british politics a prime wrestling situation. I think a lot between city brant we feel stuck in iraq now a place we want to negative breaks it we dont want to see very cool been in downing street so i. You know i think that one has opened to the possibility of somebody else being the Prime Minister short term Prime Minister while this bracks it issue gets sorted out that could be for example and crop reform and incentives for. Trade in chancellor and father about how c. E. O. Is male member of the house. Or it could be Harriet Harman the mother of house the most senior labor m. P. To leader of the labor party but certainly in my view the well dressed i dont require dressy action and i think that the. Only route of being about the confidence johnson down and putting in government that is to make sure that britain avoids do no brecht it thats what i. Intend and stuart to bring to the issue out else what will you as a real names for possible what does that the biggest problem head of time and that is the bar is johnson and his team have done here theyve made it much harder for the Parliament Parliament member state on the sunnah on it celebrates or to come back next cheese day at the moment it looks like labor going to try to recall and that its a debate to say that they can try to put down legislation we talked about. And as weve had that and roger there is the possibility of a no confidence vote however the problem for Jeremy Corbyn in the labor party is at the moment it doesnt look like they have the votes so if they call it and they dont win war then time is running out they have very very very difficult for those m. P. s who do not want there to be a no deal breaks it as to what they do maybe they will decide to go for a no confidence vote if they win it just remember that if they win it there is still the possibility for Boris Johnson to say i am not resigning i will call an election but it will be off to put it off to the 39 you know you say theyll be on november 1st i mean theres been a lot of reaction here in europe to what happened today in london politicians theyve been reacting to the Prime Ministers decision here in germany norbert ripken a member of the governments Foreign Policy commission tweeted this today in english he wrote johnson argues that respect for democracy dictates implementing braggs do or die on october 31st i wonder how does respect for democracy go together with suspending parliament and the european parliaments chief breaks that official give hope that says taking back control has never looked so sinister myself but there it he is with those fighting for their voices to be heard suppressing debate on profound choices is unlikely to help deliver a stable future edu u. K. Relationship roger what are you hearing in in europe italy right now i mean theyve got their own political problems to deal with but regs it is dominating everything across europe what do you expect the e. U. To do moving forward now. In italy they just agreed a pact between the ip to democratic and the 5 Star Movement keep. Right wing party absolute power and said they have done well in the ukraine each day which is come together when you come home and id surprised you from whole shit mother. Saying what theyre saying and thats very very helpful i think we need to hear the voices from europe back to back it you guessed it just what this looks like is how contradictory it is to say you want to break city in order to gain back on she saw in them to undermine parliament be talking to each in this very grass an outrageous way but what is needed now used to the cool heads and courage hearts of about 40 and said to then you know in their hearts of hearts print that look orange continues to be in this room it has to be stopped that they have the power to stop it but it will be absolutely critical that they support a no confidence in the house of commons because i fear that if the company does not take over and is not successful then it will indeed prove very difficult to stop johnson taking britain out of the in the without yeah and of course that vote would have to come in next week and l. Is one of the chances. We had that Boris Johnson he is betting that it will get so bad that brussels will blink 1st and will say ok we will renegotiate on the brakes and withdraw all agree what are the chances of that happening i think anything is possible but i think its highly unlikely that say 5 or 27 other members of the who have spoken with one voice they have offered that dale it was a bible as john says predecessor to raise and they now obviously there are many of them back to tafe who dont accept it and. Did not get through parliament but in a way is that the they say that they are ready for a new deal breaks it of course they dont want one but they are ready for it and not just because they have to protect their own project they have to protect the Single Market and they have to show the world that they stand up for the smaller states and by that i mean ireland my limping a big issue in this in this whole debate last week we saw porous johnson coming here to live in then on to paris the British Press took that as a Great Success for johnson that possibly a new deal was on the agenda that the Withdrawal Agreement could be reopened i really do not see that happening roger let me pick up a once. You were saying its also about this new confidence vote happening next week and what happens if it passes and you get a no confidence vote and Boris Johnson says hell accept it but hes not going to hold for example new elections until after october 31st which he could do will what is what Legal Recourse then would anyone have to stop their. Well thats a very good question look inside a enchanted carriage but i think that the role of the queen will become important i mean you mentioned in your introduction you said that the queen it approved work or expense and i think thats a little bit unfair on the queen she is vice by a pretty count so who are members of parliament in the bush and she doesnt want to interfere in politics and say she has to go along really well with this it but i think in a situation where. A an alternative government is available and can be and i dont tend to promise it could be presented to the week that i think it was clear you know in a very difficult position i mean she she should actually invite the why did you make a promise to try to form a government and i think footballers johnson too i said wouldnt put it possible im sure youre quite right he would strands of it but i think the idea of. The government being voted down in the house of commons one of a 2 no confidence because you consent about nadyas breaks it and then she used to leave office and to allow a new government if there is a support for that government and the new Prime Minister in the house who comes to take office and then the less pursued policies we. Brought down the government the vote of no confidence i think we would then be in uncharted territory i think we would ski. An outbreak of civil unrest i think it would possibly see a general strike i think we receive the violence in the streets and i think the situation is going to become very tense and there has to be a way of calming things down there has to be a way has to be found to. To make a compromise to find a way for them to bring the country together again and thats you know the way that have Chris Johnson a new team are trying to pursue it he had to start but a new government has to be brought in for and that has a big. It is i was fortunate that it is ironic isnt it that at the end of the day it could be up to the queen what happens yeah well i mean already shes being brought into this not just from what shes had to agree to today when the likes of jacob very small. City who is now the leader of the house of commons flew to morrow yes there she is right now so thats already happened but the fact that leaders of the opposition parties are also demanding a meeting with the queen to talk this through so already she is involved in this whether she likes it or not and that is pretty much on precedented and you know the gravity being pulled into politics is very strong at the moment that is for sure all right roger it is all in italy tonights and alex force one here at the table with me to both of you thank you for helping us trying to make sense of what is a complex and complicated story thank you. Youre watching the day still to come he is 102 years old and still teaching children how to swim well meet this man named lisa who lives right here in berlin and find out why his wife is still so. Swimming. No one since with. Well after 14 days it sees swedish Climate Change activists gratitude she has arrived in new york city she made the journey in order to attend a u. N. Environmental summit and she wanted to travel without leaving a Carbon Footprint thats hard to do when youre going from plymouth in britain to new york in the United States the 16 year old beginner transatlantic journey as i said in plymouth traveled across the atlantic in some fairly rough conditions she addressed cheering crowds right after arriving lets hear what she said. Well all of this very overwhelming and the ground still shaking for me. So i want to thank everyone so much everyone who who is here and. Everyone who is involved in this climate fights because this is a fight to crosspost this across continents. Was. Speaking just a few moments ago in new york city our correspondent. Is standing by there in battery park in new york just a shell away from. Just. I mean lets just talk about the image that we just saw here weve got a 16 year old who just spent 15 days in a boat crossing the atlantic. No Carbon Footprint and she just told. Supporters that it was insane that a 16 year old had to do this. Absolutely brant you know she she does not mince her words stuff for sure she she said it like it isnt. What i suppose many people really respect her for a lot of her supporters a lot of the young people young and old in fact who are joining her in in her fight against this you know Climate Change this Climate Crisis she went up there to rapturous applause when she came in here actually shes just still at behind me and the boat and a lot of people were cheering her on and giving her a lot of support and you can just see that at this is a 16 year old who has really left a huge impression across the world for what she has done lets not forget she has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and just such a young age and all because she wants to highlight the Climate Crisis she has made a huge impact especially here in europe almost everyone knows the name but thats not the case in the United States is it. No youre absolutely right one thing that has really shocked me here is that. A lot of people didnt really know who. And what she was doing theyd heard about it a lot of people came down to me today and a lot of the other journalists here who were waiting for her to arrive asking us why we were here when we mentioned her name some people had never even heard. Her name but then even just looking at television and reading in the press it wasnt as widely covered but it appears that younger people really did know that she was coming because of course theyre you know more clued in lets say on social media a lot of people get their news from you kno
