Speaker John Bercow pointed to Trump's recent executive order barring citizens from seven Muslim-majority nation from travelling to the U.S. as part of the reason he could not support a Trump address.

"I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery," Bercow said during a session of Parliament, citing the body's "opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary."

Prime Minister Theresa May invited Trump to make a state visit during her meeting with the leader in Washington last month. The invitation has attracted significant controversy back in the U.K., one of the U.S.'s most important global allies.

A petition calling for the invitation to be rescinded garnered 1.8 million signatures and is now set to be debated in Parliament later this month. Thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of London and other cities across the U.K. last week to protest Trump's executive order. An estimated 10,000 protesters demonstrated in front of 10 Downing St., the prime minister's residence, chanting "shame on May" and other slogans opposing the invitation.

Speaking before Parliament is considered a great honor for foreign leaders visiting Britain. Only a few U.S. presidents have addressed the body over the past decades: President Ronald Reagan in 1982, President Bill Clinton in 1995 and President Barack Obama in 2011.

Bercow underscored the significance of such an address during his comments to Parliament, saying, "an address by a foreign leader to both houses of Parliament is not an automatic right, it's an earned honor."

He acknowledged that he, as speaker of the House of Commons, was not the only politician to have a say in whether Trump would be invited but that the imposition of the migrant ban meant that he is now "strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall."

In Parliament, his remarks were followed by a round of applause and cheers from many of the members present in the chamber, including Dennis Skinner, who rose to respond, "Further to that point of order, two words: Well done."

But some have criticized the speaker for the statements, most notably Nigel Farage, the former leader of the right-wing U.K. Independence Party and a prominent British Trump ally.

"For Speaker Bercow to uphold our finest parliamentary traditions, he should be neutral," Farage tweeted today.

Royals sign Pitcher Jason Hammel to a 2-year 16 million dollar deal. He won the World Series for the Cubs last season, and he and Brandon Moss (Royals just signed him as well), we're on the 2014 A's Wild Card team. Getting excited for the Royals this season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Royals knew at some point they would have to move on from grieving over the sudden and tragic death of Yordano Ventura and address the difficult task of replacing him.

That apparently came when the Royals agreed with right-hander Jason Hammel on a $16 million, two-year contract, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal is pending the completion of a physical.

The 34-year-old Hammel is expected to take Ventura's place in the starting rotation. The 25-year-old flamethrower was killed last month in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic.

Hammel was 15-10 with a 3.83 ERA for the World Series champion Chicago Cubs last season and has proven to be a workhorse with at least 30 appearances in each of the past three seasons.

He is also intimately familiar with the Royals, pitching against the club with Tampa Bay, Colorado, Baltimore and Oakland before joining the Cubs. It was with the Athletics in 2014 that Hammel appeared in relief against Kansas City in their dramatic wild-card game won by the Royals in 12 innings.

Also on that Oakland team? Designated hitter Brandon Moss, who was introduced at Kauffman Stadium last week after signing a $12 million, two-year deal to replace Kendrys Morales in the lineup.

The Royals appeared to be content with their starting rotation, anchored by Ventura, Danny Duffy and Ian Kennedy as they prepared for spring training. Jason Vargas was expected back after missing most of last season following Tommy John surgery, and general manager Dayton Moore anticipated several in-house candidates to compete through spring for the fifth starter job.

That all changed when Ventura's car crashed on a stretch of highway leading to the town of Juan Adrian, about 40 miles northwest of Santo Domingo. The young pitcher, who signed a $23 million, five-year deal shortly before opening day in 2015, was pronounced dead at the scene.

That left a much bigger void in the starting rotation.

With only a couple weeks left before the Royals reported to Surprise, Arizona, Moore moved quickly to assess free-agent options. Hammel and Doug Fister were widely considered two of the best arms still available, but the Royals eventually turned their focus to the tall right-hander.

Hammel has a 4.42 ERA over parts of 11 seasons, though his best years have been his most recent. He 10-7 with a 3.74 ERA for the Cubs in 2015 before helping them to the championship last season.

Among the candidates for the final rotation spot are Nathan Karns, who was acquired from Seattle in a trade for Jarrod Dyson; Matt Strahm, who was electric out of the bullpen last season; Chris Young, who is trying to bounce back from a disastrous 2016 season; and youngsters Alex Mills, Miguel Almonte, Kyle Zimmer and Josh Staumont, all of whom may need more seasoning in the minors.

Florida police hunt woman, man after courthouse sex act . Authorities in Florida were searching for a woman after allegedly performing a sex act on a man at a courthouse and posting it to social media.

Authorities in Florida were searching for a woman after she allegedly performed a sex act on a man at a courthouse and posted it to social media.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Brittney Jones performed oral sex on Jeremiah Robinson on the fourth floor of the Duval County Courthouse in Jacksonville on Jan. 31. Jones posted the video of the sex act on social media with the caption, "I just found a way to get out of trouble," according to Action News Jax.

Jones, 26, and Robinson, 35, were both wanted on charges of an unnatural and lascivious act, police said. Neither are courthouse employees, according to the New York Daily News.

The video was posted to Twitter and had since been taking down. Action News Jax reported this wasn't the first time Jones was performing a salacious act in public. She reportedly bragged about the attention her courthouse video was receiving and said she also had sex at a local grocery store.

Police said Jones and Robinson know they're being sought after by police, but are being uncooperative.

Jones said in a Facebook post that she would talk to the media outlet who pays the most for her story.

"To all the news channels following me on Facebook. I know for a fact you're reading this, so I will let all of you know; I will only do an interview with the highest bidder. Shoot me a price," she said.

Jones' father told the station that her family has tried to stop her from posting explicit content on social media for years. He said that he would still bail her out of jail.
