british house of commons for their annual debate. the students, ranging from ages 11 to 18, considered several topics including how to tackle racism and religious discrimination in the u k and around the world. this is half an hour. religiousg racism and discrimination, particularly against people who are muslim or jewish. the motion is rented on the order paper. fromve the motion, i call army welfare services germany, lizzie porter. [applause] >> thank you, mr. speaker. human rights, the backbone of quality. a daily basis are ,enied human rights, but why why do we feel it is acceptable to torture a man or woman because of the color of their skin or religious beliefs? in today's society, it is unbelievable that racism and religious discrimination exists. especially with the diversity of cultures today in the u.k.. we are told by the significant people in our lives who we should or should not associate with. but why is this still an issue? as members of the use parliament, we should be trying to combat this hatred and as young people, we have a voice that can be heard and will be heard.

what is going to happen is that after tonight, this brexit bill is going to go back to the house of commons and begin the process called ping-pong between the two chambers. we will see what happens in the house of commons. let's remember that the house of commons approved unconditionally the to line brexit bill as an indication of article 50 by the end of march by prime minister theresa may, and yes, it is the second defeat, in the house of lords, one that the government really aims to reverse and will fight. will the majority in the house of commons disappear? in parliament be problematic? i would say theresa may's government is not happy at all and will be slightly nervous when it does get back to the house of commons. we do not have a confirmed eight but we think we know that it might be next monday and we also know that it might be in the house of commons in the morning and the house of lords in the afternoon. what we believe is that if this does go through the house of commons in the morning, we will have to see if the house of lords will again vote other amendments to block this. they hav

to play out for her? guest: this was theresa may's first defeat of prime minister in the house of commons. it was really a threat or authority over her own party with the rebels joining the other side and being accused of treachery and being traitors. however, despite all the pressure, they did vote with the other side and what analysts are saying that gives them a taste for rebellion, which does not bode well for future votes. and there are a lot of votes that will be necessary to get brings it through the house of commons. host: does what's next week, they will decide on the date of brexit march 20 9, 2019. is that set to be another challenge? guest: yes, but it looks like there may be a solution. the conservative party does not want to suffer another internal rebellion as it had last week. even now, the government whips are trying to work out of a form of words that will sabotage -- a form of words that will satisfy these rebels. so her authority is not being stopped -- sapped even further at this date. it wasn't the dates of the legislation giving some possibility. host: the big picture,

having been considered before the iraq war was launched let's take a listen in the house of commons on september twenty fourth two thousand and two mr blair presented iraq's past current and future capabilities as evidence of the security civility of the potential threat from iraq. the judgments about iraq's capabilities in that statement and in the dossier published the same. we're presented with a certainty that was not justified. despite the fact that tony blair is not going to clearly be appearing in court in this particular case the issue of the massive death toll as well as the consequences that this war has had for the region and the rest of the world and the fact that the families continue speaking out about the need to bring him to justice it doesn't seem like this issue is going to be going away anytime soon and this one terrorist in this well it's that the well needs to be aware of these names tony but we were proud of the scrooge some adult has signed on to sort of a comfort but we can be proud of the way i'll go to the street. so it's obviously clear that despite the fact

hurdle in the house of commons. the new parliament has backed the government's legislative programme for the next two years, but it was another narrow vote. and could ties be a thing of the past in the house of commons? we'll have the latest on the dress code which could leave some breathing easier. welcome to the programme. i am in washington, christian fraser is in london. the pentagon is concerned that north korea's nuclear programme has advanced so quickly, they are no longer able to monitor it effectively. intelligence experts believe that, very soon, pyongyang will have a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the western seaboard of the united states. that is forcing a rethink in the white house. the president recently suggested china's attempts to put pressure on pyongyang has failed. so what is the right way forward? nobody wants to consider a military option but one is being prepared nonetheless. what we see now is really two fundamental things have changed. one is the threat is much more immediate now and so it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach, failed approach, o

support and i am not sure the house of commons has the source of independent skills people available to do that so that is the first thing i think that needs to be determined by the meeting on monday, where are these people going to come from, and the second most important thing is can they work with speed and who is going to receive the report? will it be all members of the house of commons, are we going to use the existing discipline rearrangements that exist for members of parliament? those are key questions because there needs to be total transparency and there needs total transparency and there needs to be swift disciplinary action if the evidence justifies that. the reason i asked the question was in a sense to highlight one of the problems potentially with this that arose arguably less so with the previous standards of public wealth which is a live and kicking and doing valuable work, but in terms of the expenses scandal electoral public body being implemented and the mps spent a lot of time attacking that body and complaining that how it was operating and they find it difficult

b t british house of commons. trees say was asked about the u.s. recognizing jerusalem as isreal's capital. >> the recognition by donald trump of jerusalem as the capital of isreal will do grave damage to the prospects for a just and lasting peace settlement between the israelis and the palestinians which has been british and indeed american foreign policy for decades. was she consulted about this announcement? and if so, what does she say and will she here and now clearly condemn it? >> well, i'd say to the honorable gentleman that i'm intending to speak to president trump about this matter. but our position has not changed. we -- our position as he says it's been a longstanding one and also a very clear one. that the status of jer

, there is no hr in the house of commons. that can issue guidelines. and it is also the result of not enough women in the house of commons. when you have more women, when you have gender parity, within a chamber, the culture of the chamber changes because women actually feel far more emboldened to say, actually, this is not on. but men also behave better, they know that actually very certain behaviour that cannot be accepted. is that something unique to the british political system, how would this compare with what has happened in france? it's the same in france but in france, you had people not saying anything because no one will listen. you had a privacy law instead. that privacy law allowed people to do terrible things. i remember, when i was at le monde, the main job was to cover the minister of finance. there was a sexual predator, they reported constantly to the editors, and they said, can't do anything, he is a friend of mine. he is a friend about. that was dominique strauss kahn. if something had been done then, we would not have had that sofitel incident. the incident in new

the house of commons had a vote on it and camera narrowly lost after labour did not back it. thanks to ed miliband. supposedly that put america off doing their own strikes in response to this. some unusual people are supporting trump and what he has done because he has reinforced a red line which they say 0bama and cameron and miller band and everyone, it should have done. it has taken bizarrely and america first, isolationist, pro—russian american president — perceived to be pro—russian— to actually go out and do it. the daily mirror takes it one step further, suggesting trump is 110w step further, suggesting trump is now one step from war. warning that the world is in fear. arguably bevan, there are many proxy wars going on already, notjust in syria but in iran. there are. -- but in iraq. very dramatic language. trump himself has been very categorical in his comments on what this represented as an atrocity. the idea that we are one step behind war, it seems that a russian war strip in the black sea has been diverted to the black sea has been diverted to the method. ——

the house of commons. crucially, that will not be about the position of mrs zaghari—ratcliffe, but about countering islamic state. but i think the expectation within the body of the statement is that mr johnson will seek to clarify his mistake when he suggested she was in tehran to teach iranians about journals, which has given the iranian authorities a reason that they say is to possibly increase her jail sentence, maybe doubling it. all of this provoked after mr johnson appeared before the foreign affa i rs johnson appeared before the foreign affairs select committee on wednesday last week. it was here he made those remarks suggesting in many people's eyes he was undercutting the defence argument of zaghari—ratcliffe that she was on holiday and was actually there to traina holiday and was actually there to train a journalist. listen to this. if you look at what mrs zaghari—ratcliffe if you look at what mrs zaghari— ratcliffe was if you look at what mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was doing, she was simply teaching people journalism, asi simply teaching people journalism, as i under

into the house of commons in the afternoon, never took the web, having voted the way he wanted to. but why haven't they reported that theresa may has lost key people this week, she has lost people who are not in her office anymore, that is not in her office anymore, that is not on the front page. but it is not chaos. but no one is investigating it. i'm just saying that if you start to look at the way the papers going, they are making a narrative for her where she is flip—flopping and he is not flip—flopping. for her where she is flip—flopping and he is not flip-flopping. the express is saying it is working too well tonight, one in seven labour voters are actually turning blue. well tonight, one in seven labour voters are actually turning bluem they are, that is not bad. if the way that it has been predicted, the conservatives will get 3006, if it is only one in seven... i think tim farren will pick up myjeremy corbyn loses. but story i do believe in the mail on sunday is a tax u—turn. i do know and have been discussing with ancient people of my age that people are very, an

house of commons today and she was repeating this line and we can see why she is, strong and stable leadership and she repeated i don't know 12 times. we we re repeated i don't know 12 times. we were talking about the repeating of lines earlier and how much it gets to the point when people do get thoroughly sick. they'd do but a home that cuts through and i think people only take away one line and that will be what they have done today as well as her coalition of chaos. i suppose if you think back to the brexit debate and the referendum then there was the take back control which was repeated ad in the martyrdom but it does cut through and resonate. maybe that strategy is right. in terms of policies you spoke about the triple pension block whereby the pension will go up by three different determinants and we are not quite sure where they are going with that at the moment? yes she was asked by angus robinson to scrap it and she didn't so it is clear that it is on the table. it's possible this could bea the table. it's possible this could be a positive argument, she could say we're jus

negotiations last week in brussels today and the house of commons david davis has not been holding back. there was a big dollop of criticism for the eu's approach to the docks. he says that the uk have been substantially more flexible and pragmatic than the eu. he stressed about her large part of the talks about technical details and he said that these were progress has been made, for example the border in northern ireland under public of ireland, also reciprocal recognition of professional qualifications. he also conceded where there are areas with a lack of progress, and he said one of those was the brexit bill, how much the uk will pay when it leaves the european union. there he said there was a substantial difference between the two sides. at the start of these because asians both sides agreed that the aim was to make progress on four key areas. citrus and rights, financial settlement, northern ireland and ireland and broader separation issues. we have been doing just that andi issues. we have been doing just that and i have always said... nobody has ever pretend that this would be simple

the house of lords but with two significant changes made by peers, the bill that starts britain's eu departure process must now return to the house of commons, where mps will either accept or reject the wishes of peers. before the brexit bill's final stage of debate in the lords, peers returned to the bill's details and two areas of contention in particular. first, the liberal democrats propose the holding of a second referendum, once the terms of the uk's exiting deal are known. a labour peer supported the idea saying many who voted leave injune last year might be starting to have second thoughts. we are going to be seeing huge tranches of money spent on trade negotiators, on seeking to reinstate immigration processes and any number of things that this will cost us, and i think as people recognise that in fact our public services are going to see greater and greater depletion in the shadows of this great brexit movement, people are going to say, is this really what we wanted? it goes back to that thing — did people vote to become poorer? people voted to start the process and we get to the point where there is a deal. at that point, the people s

of lords were rejected, which means the bill will past back to the house of lords for approval. prime minister teresa make thing thetrigger article 50 of constitution. she is not expected to do so before the end of the month. unfolded. >> this is an overwhelming victory. the house of commons has rejected calls for the government to -- by 335 votes to 287. they then rejected the other amendment adopted last week by the house of lords. that was by 331 votes. it looks like we're going to have this brexit bill tonight. will beith job bill passed later tonight if the lords back down. we expect them to back down and give their final approval tonight. >> this is the ping-pong process you were describing. not expecting any significant opposition from the lords tonight? >> the process continues until both houses come of lower and upper house agree. we believe they may sit until midnight local time. time has even been made tomorrow , it looks like that may not be necessary. something theresa may did not want. once she gets that parliamentary approval from the house of lords, and then house of then it is the queen who will give her will consent -- arroyo consent, or it is threesome may that will trigger article 50, the official divorce proceedings to divorce the eu. is an't expect eithe

to trigger article 50. >> that's right. they had got the bill through the house of commons unamended and it doesym get through the house and they can amend it seems unlikely. simply because it has not got a majority in the house. but if they make any amendments (!ey have to send it back to te house of commons. they'll get a clash for the house of commons over the issue of brexit, they don't want to be of brexit, they don't want to be the one thata brexit from happening. i think there will be lots of debates and it will last a few days. i think ultimate lit -- deadlinú coming at the end of march, george. >> live for us, thank you so much for the reporting. >> you are watchingym "cnn newsroom," the mysterious death has sparked an international wow and we announcing video the÷ú moment he was attacked. that's coming up. >> in china, all imports of coal from north korea. cnn is with anb look with why ts could be a bright side for north korea. today, unlimited gets the network it deserves. verizon.

firefighters. the speaker of the house of commons, john bercow, insists he remains impartial in performing his duties despite new revelations over his support for remaining in the eu. chris mason reports. the speaker — a role with a history dating back to at least the 1ath century. 0rder, order. sitting between the political parties, chairing debates. but, for the second time in a week, it isjohn bercow‘s opinions that have generated attention. talking to students at the university of reading, he said eu migration had been a good thing, and added... this may not be popular with some people in this audience. personally, i voted to remain. i thought it was better to stay in the european union than not. mr bercow had already irritated some by accusing president trump of racism and sexism. i would not wish to issue an invitation to president trump. some mps loved that, but his critics are repeating he must be replaced. i'm incredibly surprised that the speaker now has expressed he is incapable of impartially chairing debates in the house of commons now, and must go. a spokeswoma

is presented probably initially in the house and continue to support the work that's going on in the senate on tax reform. i think keeping that sort of moving forward right now is probably the biggest challenge. look, there are common themes here that i think some members of both parties agree with. and particularly on the international side. finding some way to bring the dollars that are trapped overseas back to be invested here i think is something that some democrats have expressed support for. and there are some areas that you might be able to get some democrat support for in the process at some point. then it becomes a bipartisan effort. i think what you do want to try to avoid is having a repeat of the affordable care act. where the other side tries to undo it the minute they get into power. i have been in the majority twice and the minority twice. i know that it doesn't always stay one way. you want to try to bring a couple people along at a minimum if you can. grover: that wouldn't protect lower taxes. it took the democrats all of two years to begin to undo the tax reform act

evidence of a crime in some space that you control, whether it is your house safe deposit box or car, law-enforcement goes to a judge, makes a showing of probable cause and gets a warrant. then law enforcement can search ever the judge told them they could search and can seize whatever the judge told them they can seize. even our memories are not absolutely private in america. any of us can be compelled under appropriate circumstances to say what we remember or saw. even communications with our spouses, clergy members or attorneys are not absolutely private in america. in appropriate circumstances, i just can compel anyone of us to testify in court about this private communications. there are important constraints on law-enforcement, as there should be. that there is no such thing as absolute privacy in america. there is no place outside of judicial reach. that is the bargain. we may that bargain over two centuries ago to achieve two goals. to achieve the goal of privacy and the very important goal of security. widespread default encryption changes that bargain. in my view, it sh

that parliament would sit as normal. we are expecting her to address the house of commons as well. guy: the scottish are saying they will do for the vote on independence for a few days. that is something the think about as the situation is normal . how will this ripple into the political story in the u.k.? is it really business as normal? nejra: on the south side of west in sturbridge, it doesn't feel like business as normal. polices a stepped up presence. there are men and women on the street and police vans. i have seen three or four in the close vicinity. ,his attack came just one week exactly, before article 50 is due to be triggered on march 29. questions may be raised as to how this could affect the brexit negotiations in terms of security. we have heard from the french presidential candidate already saying -- making comments about intelligence sharing between the u.k. and eu. low priority shift? it comes at a difficult time for the u.k., politically and economically. wolftell me about the lone here this seems to be a reaction, this time is different. a lone wolf terrorist attack

house of commons and parliament is that there are commons and parliament is that there a re rules commons and parliament is that there are rules that are lax, if not nonexistent. i have had in my office disgruntled constituents phoning up and saying they would like to complain about the empty but there is no real structure or overarching hr department that a member of the public could make a complaint to, so if that is what we could get out of it it is a good thing, a light has been shown on this murky goings—on and the house of commons is an unusual workplace for an adult place of work and in this sense it needs to get into line. 0ther of work and in this sense it needs to get into line. other big companies have a sexual harassment policy and the staff handbook and all of these things do not exist with mps and you have so many levels of this such as hr things that need to be sorted out and a whole political culture that has thrived on favours and bullying. the whips office, you could say that bullying is at the heart of that and there is a lot of stuff that goes on. you have th

issue, who will these people report to? is it going to be the house of commons standards committee, will it be the full house of commons, will it be the prime minister, or the leader of the prime minister, or the leader of the opposition? these are key issues that will have to be quickly sorted out. you do get the impression that westminster is a very close shop and how that independent voice would fit in. what is the impression in terms of damage done to the political parties? with theresa may and jeremy corbyn are very much under pressure over this. at the moment, as if the government did not have an on its plate, dealing with brexit, also working without the proper majority, asa working without the proper majority, as a result of the deal with the dup. it has mounted more pressure at a fragile time for the government. some of the important questions about what comes as a result of all this, when it has run its course, they are looking at whatever changes and whether they will have the confidence of the public. whatever is put in place will need to have the confidence of younger
