Britains Prime Minister has laid out his governments agenda in the queens speech with leaving the European Union on october 31st a top priority is still to be finalized the divorce agreement was one of 26. 00 new bills presented its course johnson has no majority in Parliament Opposition parties have dismissed the speech as an election manifesto Charlie Angela reports from london. The costumes the carriage the queens speech is the high point of parliamentary pageantry and the british monarch announces the governments plans for new legislation in a speech written for her she began with proposals to support a back seat deal if the deal is reached this week my governments priority has always been to secure the united kingdoms departure from the European Union on the 31st of october my government intends to work towards a new partnership with the European Union based on free trade and friendly cooperation. Boris johnson has just 5 days to secure deal with the parliament would approve if he doesnt succeed he faces asking for an extension to the october 31st deadline or trying to force through a no deal press it against the wishes of the house of commons but there was no sign of a possible concession in his speech we aim to create a new age of opportunity for the whole country yet. As we prepare to get bricks. Final table the 31st we are sitting out now all vision of an open global free Trading United Kingdom a car a wage low tax economy the government says it is hopeful for an agreement after the Prime Minister as i was counterpart agreed on a pathway to a deal on customs arrangements with Northern Ireland and the need to quickly flush out the bones of that deal with the rest of the e. U. Although for europes leaders gathered for the summit on thursday. In brussels u. K. And e. U. Negotiating teams a meeting with all sides saying theres still a lot of work to be done the last number of months difficult. So i think your eyes my teacher says a deal is possible and its possible this month may be possible this week but were not there yet. The queens speech included spending pledges on Health Care Education and security but with a minority government its unlikely many of the supposal will be passed by parliament instead many see it as a list of election promises an election that is looming ever closer Charlie Angela aljazeera london lets go live now to joanna hall who is at westminster for a sojourner did we learn anything new from the queens speech. In short no without any sort of a majority this government has very little chance of interacting any of those big pieces of legislation that it would like to ostensibly in the next session of parliament its going to have to hope that an election comes and an election comes soon and the one piece of legislation it will want to enact is breaks it and the big hope and all the efforts now are focused upon the idea of getting a deal getting a deal at the e. U. Summit later on this week building on those concessions made apparently by Boris Johnson to liver and go last week which spawned a flurry of optimism a weekend of negotiators working frantically away by monday i have to say the noise coming out of the e. U. Was not quite as optimistic apparently they seem to be unconvinced by the bones of this idea which involved Northern Ireland staying part in part out of the Customs Union negotiated were told will continue to work frantically right through wednesday night if necessary if thats what it takes to try and get something on the table in front of the leaders on thursday that they can try and agree on that because of course i mean there is that line and there is the october 31st deadline how do we expect the next week and a half or you know 2 weeks leading up to that the play out. Well the initial focus is on thursday Boris Johnson were told is having telephone calls with people like Angela Merkel the german chancellor emanuel mack on the french president key players that hes trying to win over the e. U. Summit will really be something of a moment of truth they will leave the invite him into the room the other 27 leaders and say look yes here we are we said we think that there is the makings here of a new deal at all they simply wont invite him into the room and instead they will be talking about what sort of extension they might be willing to grant the u. K. If as expected Boris Johnson asks for one as hes legally now bound to do the very next day of course m. P. s here on a saturday for the 1st time in 37 years will be gathered ready to vote on that deal if there is one or a substantial portion of them to force Boris Johnsons hand if he tries not to comply with that piece of backbench legislation requiring him to get an extension if he hasnt got a deal its entirely possible barbara that in the lead up to october the 31st the following week and indeed what happens on october the 31st that will be decided by the Supreme CourtInteresting Times ahead with the latest now from westminster jenna thank you the former white house russia adviser fiona hill has been testifying behind closed doors in congress as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump she resigned days before the july phone conversation when trump asked the president of ukraine to investigate joe biden and his son shepard hanson has more now from washington d.
