party is my worry and is this person going to run in other words a conservative party is right for a run if it is run by cummings who will run it as a revolutionary party which won't for him rather it is run by cummings who will run it as a revolutionary party which wants basically to destroy the institutions of the british state including the rule of law it's basically to destroy the institutions of the british state including the rule of law the 8 parliament. and it's quite interesting that that past 8 parliament. and it's quite interesting that that party which is not the conservative party i recognise a bit of a had the honor of reportedly which is not the conservative. recognizer bever had the honor of reporting in 30 years as a political correspondent generally speaking good service we got another lot this lot watching in 30 years of political correspondent generally speaking of service we go another lot this lot run by cummings with this but these creature johnson is what it is on a marketable revival from run by cummings with this these creature jumps somewhat but it isn't a

it has been having, the conservative party, for its agenda on climate change, running various stories such that actually the queen's speech today talks about that it will have more on sustainable cat litter than it will on the army and veterans agendas so i think this is an interesting take from the guardian. as you rightly say, the point is that this is likely to be a very short parliament, 22 bills are in there, they are not likely actually to go very far. to make it and become law anyway. but just as very far. to make it and become law anyway. butjust as they very far. to make it and become law anyway. but just as they what the guardian, you mentioned it is focusing on law and order, it quotes priti patel, the home secretary looking at the fact that the uk has been a soft touch on foreign criminals for too long. it is playing to the audience that they wa nt to playing to the audience that they want to vote them in a general election. it is so that is extraordinary that the guardian is running it. interestingly, the guardian points out the critics for the proposals of those who work

i don't think the conservative party see that as a bad thing. i think they would rather labour voters switched to the tory party but if they switch to the brexit party and not labour that helps the tories. does it help them to win some of these brexit labour seats? it is tricky but what is worse for the tories is if they have tory voters go to the brexit party. you can voters actually helped the tories in some areas in 2017 because labour voters went to them. is it leave remain access? in which case the tories focus on brexit could work out very well for them because they keep on moving away from tribal allegiances. or is it still left— right and tribalism will go over that? i think that is what we will see in the manifesto with labour focusing on domestic issues and tories focusing on the realignment we we re tories focusing on the realignment we were heading towards on 2017 the didn't come off. thank you very much for coming. interesting to hear your thoughts this evening. we are waiting on a vote for the only amendment put this evening. pri

boris johnson there addressing a conservative party members in manchester and we'll get a full analysis of his speech when it wraps up a little bit later for now let's move on to some other news that hong kong is taking stock after some of the most violent clashes since pro-democracy protests started 4 months ago hundreds gathered again today to show their anger at the police shooting of a teenager police fired a live round at the 18 year old on tuesday after he attacked an officer with a metal bar crowds also converged on a court in the district to support protesters arrested in the previous demonstration. and our correspondent charlotte shall some hell has been covering all of this for us in hong kong hi charlotte what is the situation there today. siri they have been numerous flash mob protests that have sprung up in several different places across hong kong today the mood here very somber very anger angry after what took place yesterday at that protest the shooting of that young teenage protester here in the commercial district of hong kong hundreds of people gathered during their l

he's got to get the support of the brics hardliners in the conservative party who take their lead from the d.p. he's got to get the support of all the conservative moderates who hate this deal because they say it's worse than stories amaze old one and he sacked all of them $21.00 of them and he's got to get the support of some labor m.p.'s on the opposition as well and so it's just inconceivable that the european union is going to sign anything off that they think isn't going to get through parliament and so yes it does look very much doomed at the moment johnson supposed to be here in 4 hours' time and the thing that frustrates the european union more than anything is the continued insistence from the conservative party that it's the european union's fault that there's no brics it deal when clearly it's the fault of the conservative party for not understanding itself what kind of bracks it wants and certainly the mood here in brussels is one somewhere beyond exasperated. the media may be absorbed with the intricate diplomatic footwork involved in helping the u.k. out of the european u

she was booted out of the parliamentary conservative party. the others i imagine if they were going to be readopted they will be readopted pretty quickly, if you take ed va izey pretty quickly, if you take ed vaizey for example, he will be allowed back pretty rapidly and the same for greg clark. i think they will probably be back as conservative mps that the others, some of them will run as independents, philip hammond has hinted he will run. in runnymede as independent candidate. but it's a big uphill battle for those people to run as independents. yes they have the local vote share and local support, but it's going to be difficult to get a level of support when they are up against the tory party. they need every seat they can get, so they're looking at those eleve ns get, so they're looking at those elevens saying they must have done their own calculations on this and said if there is 11 way of getting the whip back, can we win the seats, that it has surely gone on in the bedroom corridors. of course in the sense i have had from the conserva

conservative party leader and so conservative party leader and so conservative party members ended up voting on the final candidates, and so voting on the final candidates, and so those members, some of whom are at the conference, they were the people who chose borisjohnson. we can now switch away from uk politics... the democrats' impeachment investigation over president trump's phone call with the ukrainian president is gathering pace. in the past few hours, the leaders of three us house of representative committees have accused the secretary of state mike pomepo of intimidating witnesses — adding that it "will constitute evidence of obstruction." earlier, pompeo made a similar accusation over the committees' attempts to question state department officials. this is the tweet. we can talk to anthony zurcher. there is a lot of noise and heat around the issue at the moment but what are the exchanges adding up to in terms of meaningful consequences for the impeachment process? what the democrats are trying to look at is any ties between rudy giuliani and the state department and trade

joins us and it won't just be of course his party the party faithful the members of the conservative party will be the whole country and the whole of europe are going to be eagerly awaiting to hear what boris yeltsin has to say. and you can see some of them now they are queuing behind me this queue going into the main order story and stretches past me out the door and all the way down the side of the building so obviously the conservative party faithful very clean keen to hear what boris johnson has to say and the e.u. is as well in fact many people involved in or interested in the bracks of process want to know what boris johnson's big plan is and the daily telegraph newspaper says that it has seen these full plans what it is calling 2 borders for 4 years now what this means according to the daily telegraph is that the u.k. would leave the e.u. but northern ireland part of the u.k. would sort of stay half in half out it would leave the customs union but would remain part of large parts of the single market until at least 2025 and after 4 years the northern ireland assembly would be

conservative party, as vicki young explains. nigel farage very clearly wants a no—deal brexit, to he says would end up being side deals, not no deal in the end. but that's what he is going for. and if it came to the point of a general election, that's exactly what nigel farage be saying. that's why all this is so interesting. i think lots of mps over the last few days, as well as cabinet members — i think most of them think we are headed towards a general election, because i feel that in the end, borisjohnson, even though he says he won't do it, will end up being forced to ask for that extension article 50, that delay for brexit. and privately what has changed is lots of tory mps felt that if borisjohnson was forced to do that, it would be a massive problem for him if he then went into a general election, because nigel farage and the brexit party would say he's going against his word, we aren't leaving at the end of october. the reason a general election is looming in the uk is because the government no longer has a majority

on the americans conservative party but the c.d.u. might morning the top candidate here has already ruled out working to get there with a left party and honestly i don't really see how these people these 2 parties would find common ground so what the left party could do it could try to find 3 other parties to form a coalition consisting of 4 parties in total that will be a 1st in germany and i imagine it would take a long time to sort things out i mean how big of a setback is this for chancellor angela merkel. well i think it is a big setback 1st of all because the c.d.u. on the market's conservative party here has almost lost one 3rd of its vote and this is the 2nd point is that is quite a good example of how frank meant it political the political landscape in germany is since the rice off the a if d. so. it would be a sign for angle america that it would be very hard for the big parties for the c.d.u. and the s.p. d.s. well in the future to form stable governments and their coffers porting from air force thank you. turn exit next to

the conservative party. as chairman, you have to look at exactly what is going on with polls, for example, bejewelled in 2017, where the conservative party went in with an opinion poll lead and it was squandered. the reason we have this general election is not because of any polling numbers that may be in the ether, but because there is an impasse here in parliament. we want a government, we want to deliver the extra money to the nhs, the extra police officers, but until we have a sustainable working majority, we will be hampered from doing so by a parliament, the current make—up of which says know all the time, but frankly refuses to say yes. —— which says no. we are just going to go to the house of commons. before they start debating the selection bill for the general election on the 12th of december, there is something called a business motion which has to be debated first. that is the timetable for getting this short bill through the house of commons in all its stages today, there could well be qui

and the conservative party is that government. applause one of my first acts as home secretary was to start recruiting 20,000 new peace officers. giving them the strength that they need in numbers. giving them new and immediate funding, and supporting and to quicken them with the powers they need to keep us safe. including lifting restrictions on emergency stop and search powers for all forces across england and wales. giving police officers the confidence that they need to cut down on violent crime. these are the police powers, police chiefs told me they need, i've heard their voice and i'm answering their call. i want to tell you why and there are three reasons, firstly because backing the forces of law and order essential to our dna as conservatives, giving people the security they need to lead their lives and live their lives as they choose is an essential pa rt lives as they choose is an essential part of ourfreedom. lives as they choose is an essential part of our freedom. we recognise that freedom and security are not oppos

conservative. prime minister johnson told his party that he did not want but that he was forced to go forward now with how confident johnson be. to deliver the majority that he wants. well he's very confident and i think it became clear in the last weeks that he really wanted this general election when you look at the polls it's just that the conservatives this time around could actually get a majority in parliament and they have polling very far ahead at the moment of the other parties and on the positive side johnson a said he's an excellent campaigner we've seen that in the referendum in 2016 where he can painfully believe though that he has managed to unite the conservative party in the in the last months as prime minister so that is on the plus side on the negative for him he has not delivered on his number one promise to deliver on thursday that he hasn't managed to do so we will see how voters really react. to that and then we have to remember that once upon a time in 2017 theresa may called

british prime minister boris johnson is about to address his fellow conservatives at a party conference in match at manchester he set to unveil his latest plans for a brags that deal with the european union now one of the biggest stumbling blocks a negotiation with the e.u. is how to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and johnson is expected to propose a new system of customs checks between the 2 but some e.u. sources are already saying this system would be unworkable and would not avoid the problems that are hard border would create that johnson has tried to defuse those concerns by saying any border checks would be non intrusive if he's going to insist storm on customs checks as we come out as it is then. we will have to accept that reality and that will have to be a system for customs checks away from the border no we think those chips can be absolutely minimal or not intrusive. all right let's bring in our correspondents on the story at the conservative party conference in manchester and max hoffman is in brussels welcome to you both let's sta

the bricks policy and the conservative party as well say what makes for a very uncertain results. who said the fact that it's in december it will be dark maybe snowy in some places will older people who generally tend to be more pro brexit billy b. out voting. if it's a really horrible you know wintry day will it they've got that postal votes sorted out in advance we would turn out be low because we know from polls that. ad does not a lot of enthusiasm for another election- lease things make for a huge amount of uncertainty don't but i think one thing that we can say for sure is that boris johnson has to potential messages if he gets his withdrawal agreement bill furry between now and the- the election. he can say i delivered brexit that's a clear message- if he hasn't got the withdrawal agreement three he can say give me a majority said that i can finish the job that suits a relatively clear message the visit to potentially. quite clear messages for him to get the votes and that's where and what he does have an advantage over labor because the labor policy what is its clear messa

, liberal democrats, green, strong in the conservative party. and the way i like to put it is this, this is a country that is profoundly polarised is like going to a market for everyone in the market wants to either buy apples or pears and all ofa either buy apples or pears and all of a sudden labour trying to sell bananas, which brings me to a second point around the selection. that labour will do better and is entirely by brexit, it is about the things which general elections quite often in this country with socioeconomic issues, a long answer but you know where we are going. reasonably quick answers, but gavin wa nts to reasonably quick answers, but gavin wants to ask you, reasonably quick answers, but gavin wants to lam bound i am bound to get shot if i get this the wrong way around, the committee stages in the second in the first readings. i was asking my panel here this evening whether he is going to stick to the date of the speaker, is he going to leave on the 31st of november —— the 30th of november, putting the business down before

foreign policy spokesman for the conservative party is in the german parliament we just heard in that tweet that he says it is preserving its country's territorial integrity does it have the right to do that in this way we have huge concerns concerning that military operation every military operation because the reason risk of a new escalation military escalation in the region and this might poison all my tom the peace process of the small about growing peace process ongoing in geneva with the summit of those 150 people who should work on a new constitution for syria i think the turkish government should stop this operation and if they are not able and willing to stop that should concentrate on dead to fight terrorists among the p.c. is all justified to us and not the ends or on fighters that are on the side of the alliance against us and. they need support and not. by repression by by turkey so you say you should stop this action do you expect to germany to do anything more than talk. i think from my point of view of this is also a reason to call the ambassadors of the nato in brusse

s former conservative party members and m.p.'s from the northern irish do you may stop him getting there i think it's very clear to them that we are not going to vote for this on saturday but as nigel says saturday is not the end saturday is not even the beginning of the haven't. had party leader has called an m.p.'s to reject johnson's deal he wants fresh elections that could help them shape a new brics a deal more to his liking. but they feel that out here you know i think they're going to thank. the vote will very likely be a close one its outcome could be historic or just another milestone on a long road and correspondent is standing by in london and she joins us now for more hello. so is it likely that john senate will manage to persuade enough m.p.'s to vote for the new. it's really too close to call it's very very tight you've mentioned there is no majority in the house of commons so really the prime minister when he starts speaking he's going to make an impassioned plea to m.p.'s to to rally behind him in just a few hours

conservative party for opposing boris johnson over parliamentary conservative party for opposing borisjohnson over no—deal. he wanted to make sure we leave the eu with a deal. then he had to take a decision as to when he was going to stand as an independent member of parliament. so we had a tale of two announcements this morning, the first was that their word to his local party and local paper saying he would not be standing again as an mp, he was resigning from the conservative party completely, even asa conservative party completely, even as a grassroots member. and he said in addition to that he didn't want to stand against local conservatives. so he wouldn't be standing as an independent mp. but thatis standing as an independent mp. but that is not a template which he is attaching to london, because he is now going to stand against the already selected conservative candidate for mayor of london. he made that announcement around iiam this morning. in fact, when he said he was standing down for the conservative party, a range of former conservatives and independents were bemoaning his los

we can't stop in the last general election in 2017, again the conservative party went in with quite a lead and they expected quite a majority but it didn't pan out that way —— we can't. they are hugely volatile, they are a rollercoaster a nd hugely volatile, they are a rollercoaster and can change almost daily and policies will come out. there will be gaffs on the election trail and huge swings. there's also a joker in the pack, the brexit party. you could have four parties... obviously the scottish national party... and the greens, they did very well in the european elections. the liberal democrats, you could say they have a land grab for labour seats, but you have the ten of the 21 expelled tory mps who have been given the right to come back, but quite a few high profile of the 21 were not given that option. philip hammond, rory stewart, for example. rory stewart said he will stand to be mayor of london, so he's taking a different path. the conservative party has struggled with the question is europe but it has united as much as it can with current prime minister and leader bori

he says that basically some people in his local party, some conservatives did not wa nt party, some conservatives did not want him to run again. others, other conservative party members elsewhere in the country, he didn't want to go and oppose them. he said he didn't wa nt to and oppose them. he said he didn't want to test loyalties and destroy friendships. he says there is enough toxic division in british politics without importing it into cumbria. what is he going to do next? he will speak to the bbc later today. we can ask him then. there had been some speculation about whether he would try to set up a new movement or a new centre party. he is saying he still wa nts new centre party. he is saying he still wants his voice to be heard in politics, and he also says he hopes to start working on another part of the country and make a difference outside parliament. while he was still an outside parliament. while he was stillan mp he outside parliament. while he was still an mp he was talking about perhaps reducing the size of parliament on boosting the power of local mayors and local government. so,

party conference what he had to say on the brakes of talks with the e.u. was hotly anticipated. today in brussels we all taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides top of johnson's list was the so-called irish backstop and the issue of how to prevent a hard border post breaks is between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the british government is opposed to the backstop in its present form johnson said under his proposal there would be few customs checks on goods moving between northern ireland and the republic of ireland britain's brags of negotiator delivered the proposals in person to brussels german reaction has been to say it will consider the proposals in detail 1st before commenting. events forcefully we will take a close look at the suggestions i cannot say anything more about that today because we have agreed to evaluate the issue amongst ourselves 1st for us it's very important that the 27 member states are unified on this issue that we have trust in michel venue and we will

large parts the conservative party because they felt it was a betrayal of were upset because it kept the u.k. in an open ended relationship trade relationship with the european union so it's it is good for the european union because it protects the integrity of islands in the in the sphere of the beast because it because it maintains the good friday agreements and in the sphere of protecting the single market because there is no customs checks on the island of ireland equally as you had boris johnson say that in his assessments it's good for the u.k. because in one sense it does allow the whole of the u.k. including northern ireland to know draw from the european union's trading arrangements because the because they put the trade borders as if it's goods in the middle of the irish sea so both sides in that sense can get off. a medal big point of saying it's not just westminster that has to agree to this is the european parliament i don't suppose the european parliament is going to have a particular issue with the issue with it plainly is going to be the u.k. parliament which seems to

party are borisjohnson do not trust the conservative party are boris johnson in do not trust the conservative party are borisjohnson in the whole debate, it has all been about trust today and there is no trust in this government. so you have seen another significant defeat and basically what we are asking for, basically we wa nted what we are asking for, basically we wanted to discuss and wanted the ability to amend a 435 page collective document in order to put forward a compromise deal so we can exit onto your which could be agreed by the commons. it is about compromise and the labour party have offered compromise. what about the labour party and their stance tonight on the question of a general election, the prime minister mentioned an election earlier today. i notice he did not say anything in his statement after the vote but what would the labour and so to that be tonight? basically what the prime minister said, he was annoyed and upset that he did not get his own way. he said he would pause the registration and wait for a reply from the eu on the issue but let me be crystal clear about

party in london for blocking the exit when the conservative party in london has actually got all the problems. of it live press and brussels keep an eye on all those developments from there well let's now go to rory chalons in london to get the view from london rory as we were just saying there a deal may have been reached between boston and the e.u. but this isn't a deal that the u.k. has yet agreed to so how is johnson going to sell this to parliament and can. selling it by calling it a great deal. this is a reason very said when she brought a deal back from brussels as well the only deal in town at the moment he does seem to be being chewed on by plenty of conservative m.p.'s including people like jeremy hunt. a former minister and former candidate for the prime ministerial position was forced johnson eventually dogs who were cheering boris johnson on for achieving what many people said was essentially impossible for opening up the with george agreement again and getting rid of the backstop bots forest johnson as done this by essentially caving in on many of the things that the br

"get brexit done" urged the slogans at the conservative party's annual conference last week. and the british prime minister finally published his proposalfor a deal. but there's less than a fortnight till the european summit which would have to agree it. many brexiteers have always insisted a deal with brussels would only happen at the 11th hour. it is now the 11th hour. iain, is he going to get his deal? it does not look like it, and you're absolutely right, there has always been this fantasy that, at the last minute, because that is the way the eu always conducts itself in difficult negotiations. you get a frantic meeting which goes on until six o'clock in the morning, and people emerge with a communique and say, a deal that there is a tiny, tiny chance of that but it looks as though, because of the way in which boris johnson is now boxed in by parliament. and parliament has legislated to force him or whoever runs the government to ask for a further extension, no one can explain what that is for other than a general election. because he is boxed and he has put forward these

his keynote speeches tomorrow, his first as prime minister at the conservative party conference, what can we expect? we have been overhearing him rehearsing his speech in the last few minutes in the conference hall, and what i would say, we can expect very familiar messages and tone from borisjohnson familiar messages and tone from boris johnson and at familiar messages and tone from borisjohnson and at every turn he and other cabinet ministers have said at the conference that the priority is to get brexit done, that isa priority is to get brexit done, that is a very simple slogan and this is one which the party believes chimes with the voters especially those who voted to leave, but with the country more broadly who are frustrated with the lack of progress in getting brexit done, and moving on, i think that will form the basis of what the prime minister will say tomorrow because he has stated and staked his political survival on that basis, he says he will not ask for an extension of any kind to the brexit process the deadline of october 31, and with or without a deal, if he is in ch

s exit from the european union because the johnson was addressing his conservative party conference in the northern city of manchester one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the go seriousness is how to prevent a hard border between northern ireland which is in the u.k. and the republic of ireland which will remain in the e.u. the new proposals on the board have been officially conveyed to brussels mr johnson has called them a compromise today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out. we will. we will respect the peace process and the good friday agreement. and and and and by a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and the assembly over northern ireland we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and business is on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u. with control over our own trade policy from t

well the conservative party faithful queuing up behind me to get into the auditorium obviously very keen to hear what boris johnson has to say about bret's episodes anyone that has been involved in the process for the last few years now the daily telegraph newspaper says that it has seen already the plans that boris johnson is going to unveil in his speech and they list them in some detail what they say is that in a vols 2 borders for 4 years essentially the united kingdom would leave the european union but northern ireland would be a special case it would leave the customs union but stay in large parts of the single market at least until 2025 and after 4 years the northern ireland assembly would have a choice about whether to stay aligned with the e.u. or whether to come back to the united kingdom in its independent state what this essentially means that boris johnson is trying to replace the currently frictionless border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland with 2 much more sticky borders one on that current existing border but the other one between northern ireland and

accept for that the last 50 years, the conservative party, the vast majority of the conservative party and all four conservative prime minister's and whose governments i serve, believe membership of the european union gives us a stronger voice politically in the world as one of the leading members of the european union, and gave us access to a free-trade market that enabled us to build a strong and competitive economy. would he reassure me, as i assure him i will vote for his -- when hee have goes on to negotiate the eventual long-term arrangements, he will seek a solution where we have the same completely open across the channel come across the irish border and trade investment in both directions with the european union that we have now, even if we have to sacrifice the political benefits we have enjoyed with membership of the union. i wish to agree with parts of his analysis because he says there is a theticism across the you -- e.u. about federalism. i think he is right in that, but unfortunately, that skepticism has not percolated up to the andes who run the e.u. those who set the

"get brexit done" urged the slogans at the conservative party's annual conference last week. and the british prime minister finally published his proposalfor a deal. but there's less than a fortnight till the european summit which would have to agree it. many brexiteers have always insisted a deal with brussels would only happen at the 11th hour. it is now the 11th hour. iain, is he going to get his deal? it does not look like it, and you're absolutely right, there has always been this fantasy that, at the last minute, because that is the way the eu always conducts itself in difficult negotiations. you get a frantic meeting which goes on until six o'clock in the morning, and people emerge with a communique and say, "a deal is done." there is a tiny, tiny chance of that but it looks as though, because of the way in which borisjohnson is now boxed in by parliament. and parliament has legislated to force him or whoever runs the government to ask for a further extension, no one can explain what that is for other than a general election. because he is boxed in, he has put forward

for the conservative party and borisjohnson and his premiership. what is in his mind is that now that the 31st of october brexit date has passed, he needs to be able to get the uplift from the feeling of, quite friendly, resentment in the country that is going to be building about the fact that it hasn't been done yet. he has put labour in a position where they look like they have tried to stall the will of the people, and he has got as good a chance as any right now to be able to go to the country and geta now to be able to go to the country and get a majority that he needs to be able to get any kind of withdrawal legislation through parliament. but for remainers, the opposition are now split. snp, liberal democrat, labour, and that isa liberal democrat, labour, and that is a huge problem for those people who feel that there were issues with that vote and that in fact the british people were sold a dodgy bill of goods during the referendum. if the opposition is split, it is happy days for the conservatives?l big danger. every chance the tories wil

the political game was to get the conservative party into power. the member of our party will remind the government that scotland will not be duped a second time. >> my honorable friend is correct. what i say to the conservatives and those that are here, if this deal goes through, this has the , it's clearotland we can see it from the messages that are coming from us. the people that voted no in 2014, they are making it clear that they want scotland's right to choose. i make this guarantee to you. scotland will become an independent nation. >> i think the house is faced with an impossible choice. like buying a house with no chance to look inside or see any contracts on it. we spent two months scrutinizing and debating. is it ridiculous we can't see this bill. >> you're looking at the former cabinet secretary giving a speech saying this brexit deal is like buying a house, just on the details of the estate agents. strong words from her. looking at the scottish national party leader. also making the anti-brexit case. he said every version is worse tha

party so that would be very upset in the conservative party tonight. >> one would hope that they would be upset because while this party doesn't call itself progressive anymore, she was part of the progressive bridge building that they need if they are going to expand. it's not going to be good enough just to go back. but throughout the campaign, but i never understood is why he didn't run advertising. he needed to showcase something other than just himself and she would have been someone that you really want to showcase. they don't have to like each other there's a lot of talent but wasn't used properly and that contributes. they did a lot of the public speaking. he's the one that basically cleaned up the mess in late august frankly i think it's like this year's megan leslie she had no doubt she was going to keep her writing and felt he was one of the top in the country all for not and the writing had been changed and didn't need to worry about the people from the suburbs and what has become and campaigning for other conservative candidates and then came home and they had leapfrogged

party conference what he had to say in the breaks of talks with the e.u. was hotly anticipated today in brussels we all taping i believe all constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides top of johnson's list was the so-called irish backstop and the issue of how to prevent a hard border post briggs's between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the pritish government as opposed to the backstop in its present form johnson said under his proposal there would be few customs checks on goods moving between northern ireland and the republic of ireland britain's breaks it negotiates or delivered the proposals in person to brussels german reaction has been to say it will consider the proposals in detail 1st before commenting. events forcefully we will take a close look at the suggestions i cannot say anything more about that today because we have agreed to evaluate the issue amongst ourselves 1st for us it's very important that the 27 member states are unified on this issue that we have trust in michel venue and we will co

so helen, first, how much is the conservative party under boris johnson going how much is the conservative party under borisjohnson going to focus on get brexit done? that's obviously a big headline we‘ve heard over the last few months, it‘s a big banner at the conference it was the only thing. a clear reference to a number of other policies that clearly matter to voters, and hejust of other policies that clearly matter to voters, and he just police etc. all exhausted and let‘s talk about things that matter to people. how much of it is kind of the let‘s not get there and i cannot leave it in the hands of labour, how much of that will play? we have to see how it goes. by choosing to have an election of the did not need to do ata time election of the did not need to do at a time when brexit has not happened and cannot be stopped as a result of the election gives people a reason to vote for the labour party that they might not otherwise, we know from the poles that labour has not been doing particularly well but the policy of renegotiating regular and allowing a referendum afterwards

conservative party. how ward will borisjohnson to be? he has done everything to nullify that brexit party. that's how worried he had done everything to nullify that brexit party. —— how worried will. is that still a real danger for him? absolutely. we sought in 2050 when ukip took 12% of the vote. they were taking enough votes off of the conservative party in some seats to make sure that they wouldn't win. i think it will be really interesting to see how the nigel farage approaches the selection, if he calls borisjohnson a charlatan and a liarand had calls borisjohnson a charlatan and a liar and had been stuck to his door die we and that could really resonate with voters and with a lot of lead voters that might vote conservative but my go to the brexit party. alternatively, if he steps back a little bit and allows conservative prime minister, who clearly wa nt conservative prime minister, who clearly want to leave the european union, to have a bit more of a free reign to do that then the conservatives could end up doing better than e

political broadcast for the conservative party. it is a list of things they think will make them win votes in england, very much a domestic policy agenda. looking at the splendour of the state occasion and hearing the political promises made, it would be easy to think these are normal times at westminster. in reality, they are anything but. the government doesn't have the numbers to push through its plans. there could be a general election in weeks and uncertainty over brexit continues. away from westminster, but hanging over today's events, the brexit negotiations in brussels on a knife edge. for all the ambitious plans set out here, the outcome there will determine the future for this government. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. let's talk to norman smith. all of the pomp and pageantry, was there any point in that? it has been one of the oddest queen's speech as i have ever covered, because we have a great big shopping list of measures, but you're kind of wondering if any will see the light of day. i was watching the queen

on the americans conservative party however the c.d.u. has already ruled out to work together with the left party and honestly i don't see how these 2 parties could find common grounds so what the left party could now try is to find 3 other parties to form a coalition that means a coalition with 4 parties in total that would be a 1st in germany and i imagine it would take a long time to sort things out. talk to us about a of d. of course this is their night. you know what is their poll what is their appeal with voters in through in shia. i think there's several of factors one is that in 2014 the a if de only had around 10 percent of the vote and that was before we saw the influx of refugees the big influx of refugees in germany was in 2015 and the a.s.d. was very very critical in realizing that they could benefit from taking a very harsh anti in my grand positions and honestly a lot of people here grieve with these positions the 2nd factor i think is that the a 50 is very good in a trick doing protest voters 30 years after the wall came d
