with scottish roots also happens to chair the parliament's foreign affairs committee david mcallister welcome to day w. . the european parliament had said it could not consider the deal this year if it wasn't done by last weekend so how much of a problem is that going to be. well 1st of all i welcome the negotiation teams have finally reached an agreement because there's now provide clarity and certainty for businesses and also 1st citizens but of course the process isn't done yet it's now up to the $27.00 members states and then the european parliament to scrutinize the agreement which has been negotiated level of the commission the u.k. government we will not be able to give our consent to visit agreement the normal p.c. here we know in the european parliament till the end of the year so we will probably be talking about provisional application this gives us perhaps 2 months time the european parliament to federally and allies many 100 pages of text and then in the end who have our constant or not so there's a chance that that you might get a month 2 months from now say no to this d

are there not questions about whether parliament is giving enough ofa whether parliament is giving enough of a chance to look at the detail of it and make sure that they are all happy with what it means and what they are signing up to? it's absolutely impossible for members of parliament in a few short days to go through this, understand it, analyse it and vote on it. so i think what has to happen next week as there has to bea has to happen next week as there has to be a vote in principle, and in the new year, parliament can spend time looking at us, going through it, just as the european parliament will come and just as parliament‘s all over the rest of europe well. so i think if the government is sensible it will go for a vote on principle, otherwise, it will look cynically, you know, the deal was delayed until the last possible moment so that people couldn‘t scrutinise it. what would you have done differently if it was you in that room thrashing this out? well, look, i wouldn‘t have signed up to the original withdrawal agreement because it was a new european treaty. and it put us

now on bbc news, monday in parliament. hello, and welcome to monday in parliament. coming up — as the brexit talks fail to reach a breakthrough, one minister says she understands the tension mps are feeling. it must be like what it would've been like for an expectant father outside the delivery room waiting for news. meanwhile, the government presses ahead with controversial parts of a bill that would allow it to break the brexit divorce deal. until such a time that these discussions have successfully concluded, we retain these clauses in their current form as a fallback option. this is not a safety net, this is not an insurance policy, this is a trapdoor. and peers back the 18 month suspension of lord maginnis over accusations of bullying and harrassment. we identified on lord maginnis' part both an absence of any remorse and a complete lack of insight into the impact of his behaviour on in particular, the victims of such behaviour. but first — boris johnson is expected to head to brussels in the next few days, in a last ditch effort to break the deadlock over

and sub—national parliaments. we do not yet know whether we will be in national parliaments down the line or not. member states could decide to get this over the line, that they exceptionally say we will treated as though it is all eu competence for this time only. and cut our national parliaments out. you can imagine there will be quite a lot of squawking in national parliaments if they did that. i would like you to help us with everyday english speak. you have described the fishing issue. people listening to this will be saying, ok, arranging for policing any deal. what does that mean in everyday speech? you can sign up to commitments. we have seen that recently with the uk on the withdrawal agreement. the question is then how do you ensure that those are actually enforced. while we have been an eu member, if we want to subsidise a business, we want to ask the eu for clearance in advance. rishi sunak had to do that in the summer over some of rishi sunak had to do that in the summer over some of his coronavirus r

so does it look like that kid bill is going to play a parliament poll? i think is really very little doubt that it will, but it won't be for the lack of trying to overturn it by a conservative rebel takes place. labor, the liberal democrats, that the 2 main opposition parties here in the u.k. they've chosen to abstain, which is a, an interesting choice. and it really does put all the attention on the ruling conservatives and on the difficulties that boris johnson, the prime minister, has. with those backbench rebels who are really quite concerns, in fact, very concerned about the economic impact of the tea is on the lockdowns and the national lockdown that we're currently in. as, a result of the pandemic here in the u.k., the impacts are being felt up and down the country, but particularly on the high street way on how to treat perhaps one of the most, famous shopping streets in the u.k., perhaps even in europe. but the effect has been felt profoundly in the last 24 hours with news from arcadia, a group which includes such brand names as top shop and top

and parliament had its roots in the however many critics of these process in parliament are saying that practically it's not enough so the m.p.'s only had a few hours to debate this really complex agreement with the european union and given the fact that the great city isn't always ringback promised bragg's it was all about taking back control and given control to the u.k. parliament many parliamentarians were very frustrated that they only had a few hours to look into this agreement however the deal is done and boris johnson obviously is celebrating the fact that he accomplished taking the u.k. out of the european union that there is more sovereignty free or for example the european court of justice critics are saying that he is not clear about the trade offs that he's not explaining to the country that yes there is more certainty but economically there are trade offs and even though there is a deal a trade deal with the e.u. that there will be extra trade barriers for example for manufacturers there'll be much more paperwork when they want to deal with the european customers or client

i checked with my office and made statements of the parliament to the best of my knowledge, but as it turns out later, the statements included some information contrary to the fact and therefore i ended up undermining the public trust in politics. as the leader of the administration at the time and as president of the liberal democratic party who has to behave exemplary in handling political funng and as a member of the diet i most sincerely apologize to the japanese people and all the members of the parliament ruling and opposition parties. i just met mr. oshima speak of the parliament and the chairman of the upper house of the diet and ask them for opportunities committees of the parliament to make corrections and i believe that i need to offer explanations and make corrections and offer apologies to the diet. i am aware that i have heavy political responsibility for this situation. i take this very seriously. in order to restore public trust, i will do everything possible. first, i will do my best to improve the transparency of the funding in my political activities, in my election

also, you know, nobody in parliament wants to sit and have to do this over and debated past when parliament is meant to finish up so there is an imperative and not least also because the government is also because the government is also next week bringing back controversial legislation that the eu hates. the finance bill. the eternal market bill. exactly. so will it be a giant big b trap that the uk will bring back this legislation that the eu hates and is cross about next week the deal is not done by then and the uk brings about, my goodness. and some people said that if they bring it back and it is all often not happening to they threaten but i think that is an eu thread rather than a pious —— eu threat rather than a promise. they are furious about the legislation but it will not stop them negotiating. the european parliament has threatened to veto the deal if the bits of legislation are not taken the bits of legislation are not ta ken away but the bits of legislation are not taken away but as we discussed many times, if the deal a successful than those bits of legislation, the contro

parliament -- that the e.u. parliament approved a post-brexit deal. the marketus to close. this is the first time we really got a true reaction with the brexit deal when it comes to u.k. assets. they were closed when the deal happened and they were closed yesterday as well. 1.6% offoff the high, the e.u. parliament news. the small caps did really well, up almost two full percentage points. what ended flat was financials, not getting much of a boost either way. financial services left out of this deal, negotiating upon all of that part of the problem. the other part is what is happening in the bond market in the u.k. you can see money moving into the gilt market, meeting yields lower about four basis points. that is never going to help a bank when you have lower yields in the yield curve does not go anywhere. in the currency market, you're a-sterling is down by one point -- by .1%. yesterday sterling fell on the brexit deal, and many were scratching their heads saying why is that? now reversed today, the euro getting a stronger. -- getting a stronger boost from the weaker do

parliament is now in recess, but we are looking at the past week in parliament. hello, there, and welcome to the week in parliament — where labour says borisjohnson shouldn't ignore medical worries about relaxing covid restrictions for christmas. can he tell us what's the assessment, and has it been done, of the impact that it will have on infection rates and increased pressure on the nhs? i wish he had the gutsjust to say what he really wants to do, which is to cancel the plans that people have made and cancel christmas. that's really... i think that's what he's driving at. also on this programme: scotland's first minister comes under pressure over a record number of drugs deaths. the government sets out plans to protect children from harmful content online. and the deputy speaker suspends an mp from the commons as he protests over a controversial brexit bill. if he wants to be named... does he want to be named? is that what's happening? if that is what is happening, then we can do it. but first — with the brexit talks rumbling on in the background, mps and

well the parliament sauce for 2 things in this motion, one is to stop i.a.e.a. inspectors inspecting iran's nuclear sites. now iran has been signatory to this something called the additional protocol since 2015. and what that does is allow inspectors unrestricted access without notice to iran's nuclear sites. that this motion is calling on the government to stop that. the 2nd thing is the parliamentarians of calling on the government to enrich the uranium to 20 percent. now, according to the 2015 nuclear deal, that limits are set to around 3.6 percent. iran has increased that to just over 4.5 percent. now this is calling on the government to increase it to 20 percent. that's concerning because once you get to 20 percent, it doesn't take much more effort to get to 80 percent, which is great. but iran has always maintained that don't want nuclear weapons. what's more concerning for the world is if specters from inspecting these sites, then the world goes blind. if they don't know what exactly iran is doing, this is the 1st response. the conservatives parliamentari

parliament will be recalled on december 30. phil: who will adjudicate if there is a dispute in this deal as it is implemented? alexandra: we know for the european union, it was essential to establish a mechanism to make sure that future disputes can be resolved. and from the european perspective, of course, it would be the best to have the european court of justice to play a role. according to the u.k., there is no role for the european court of justice. instead, both sides seem to have agreed on independent arbitration and an independent panel that would, in the future, decide if there is a breach of the deal, and if there should be penalties or compensation. but please let me add that you can't rule out that one of the parties or maybe a company can go to court, if it thinks it is necessary. phil: will leave it there, alexandra in brussels and charlotte in london. britain's decision to leave european union was a hugely divisive issue that turn families against each other and brought down to prime ministers. how did it come ab

and though the libyan parliament which suddenly decided to come together. i don't see the 2 together in says mutually exclusive in fact they can in a way compliment each other let's be really clear so you know these institutions have been given ample opportunity over the last 9 5 to 6 years and in my case of a higher state council even longer than that you know to produce solutions toward the libyan people and yet what we saw was gridlock and then part that would speak because there were important constituencies who were left out of the conversation who were not present for the. agreement the libyan political agreement that was brokered. and that is why we have built a much a much broader and more inclusive groupie in fact 35 representatives and the libyan political dialogue form have in one way or another been elected to the house of representatives to the higher state council to the g.m.c. prior to that so. and then beyond that we have these other you know constituencies who very much need to be at the table because you know you've been exposed to that ra

the speaker of parliament. has now sent a letter to president hassan rouhani informing him that the guardian council has approved this bill a motion and it is now been signed into law and they're calling it the strategic action for the lifting of sanctions this means that the government has 2 months to see whether or not any of the signatories to the nuclear deal of 200-2015 would lift the sanctions they've imposed on iran since the united states withdrew from the deal in 2018 unless there is some sanctions relief the government is now lodged by law to decrease its cooperation with the international atomic energy agency and what the parliament wants to do is to go back up to 20 percent enriched level in richmond levels of uranium in the country's nuclear program as well as to put in some advanced centrifuges also to stop allowing i inspect hers to come into the country without any advance notice to inspect nuclear sites the most important point within this new law is that there is a 2 month period there's a gra
