Earlier the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell attacked wednesdays vote in the house of representatives to impeach the president as the fulfillment of a long held Democratic Party plan to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

But wed like to see a fair process but well see what they have and well be ready for whatever it is the democrats want to be able to call witnesses as they make their case in the Senate Mcconnell said he wants a swift proceeding as possible the House Democrats making their case on the white house making its defense only the witnesses be considered Congress Begins its christmas recess this week the entire month of january has been set aside in the senate for impeachment proceedings but as of now its unclear when the trial will occur forever turns the aljazeera washington.

The u. K. s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has put bricks it at the heart of his new governments agenda as his custom Britains Queen elizabeth read out a raft of proposed new laws in a ceremonial opening of Parliament Speech also outline plans to guarantee funding for the National Health service and introduce a new immigration system for britain reports. Black rod banging on the door of the commons Boris Johnson knocking on the door of his bracks it destiny the Prime Minister looked visibly excited next to a stony faced Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn as the 2 men made their way through to the upper house to hear the queen read out johnsons program of reforms among a raft of new legislation there is a singular priority my governments priority is to deliver the united kingdoms departure from the European Union on the 31st of january of the 25 new bills listed in the speech 7 are related to delivering brecks it but the government intends to make the most of its 80 seat majority there will be the deepest review of britains Security Defense and Foreign Policy since the end of the cold war the official secrets act and the laws on treason will be reviewed and the government will establish a constitution democracy and Human Rights Commission to look at the very nature of how british democracy operates it is a radical program.

For the time being though Boris Johnson is on a high fresh from a resoundingly lecture when equipped with a big stable parliamentary majority there is little to stand in his way for since the last queens speech back in october was also quite ambitious but there was no chance of ever being able to deliver a new policy that was more of a kind of shop window for the forthcoming Election Campaign as it was that whereas now there is a sense that at least at least in terms of the palm tree arithmetic she can actually deliver these policies invite the pace of lawmaking will be hectic there is a lot of legislation to pass and less than a year to do in e. U.
