Hello and welcome to the Intelligence on Economist Radio. I'm your host, Jason Palmer.

Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

Today students from scores of countries will take to the streets, protesting against inaction

on climate change. That inaction took another form in Nairobi this week, where there's a

UN Environment Meeting happening. We examine a proposal on huge efforts to reverse the effects

of climate change that was retracted at the last minute. And just about everywhere you travel,

you can count on being able to find an Irish pub. It seems like you can open one anywhere.

But here's the strange thing. It's really difficult to open one in Ireland.

First up though. The chaos of Brexit has deepened.

Do you know what it is, Mrs. Pai?

Every day that Parliament sits an anti-Brexit protestor starts early. His meter-long

megaphone trained on the House of Commons. And pro-Brexit supporters show up every day

with their blackards. It says, clean Brexit rules, okay. We've got 300 years of democracy

behind us and they cannot take it away. Inside Parliament it's been a week of high drama.

The House must calm itself. Long time to go today, subsequent days.

Eat calm.

On Tuesday MPs voted for a second time to reject the deal with the EU that Theresa May, the

Prime Minister, has spent two years negotiating. On Wednesday they rejected her backup plan

of walking away without a deal. The House needs to face up to the consequences of the decisions

and last night MPs voted to apply to the EU to extend the Brexit deadline beyond March 29th.

The eyes for the right, 412, the nose for the left, 202. So the eyes have it. The eyes have it.

Unlock.
