also in the next hour... transport secretary chris grayling says the north of england should solve its own local transport problems. while regional leaders meet in leeds to demand the same investments in transport links as london. and england's top goal—scorer wayne rooney announces he's retiring from international football with immediate effect. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister says the uk will "take back control" of its laws, when the country leaves the european union. the government has published a paper on how disputes could be resolved in the future trade relationship with the eu — which stresses that the uk will leave the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. ministers have pointed out

that the ec] has no influence over the eu's trade deals with canada or singapore, so the uk could adopt a similar model. the government has also stressed that the rights of eu citizens living in the uk after brexit will be protected by the british courts. critics say european judges could retain some influence. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. it's the eu highest legal authority. the european court ofjustice in and enforces all of its rule. judgments handed down here in luxembourg are binding on the uk and all member states. the government has long been clear that after brexit that will have to change. we will take back control of our laws and bring an end to the juristic sran of the european court ofjustice in britain. leaving

the european union will mean that oui’ the european union will mean that our laws will be made in westminster, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast. and those laws will be interpreted byjudges not in luxembourg but in courts across this country. and so today proposals for a new way forward, new arrangements for policing our future a new way forward, new arrangements for policing ourfuture relationship with the eu. what we have done today isissue with the eu. what we have done today is issue a paper which is in of ways in which it will be possible to resolve disputes. what businesses wa nt to resolve disputes. what businesses want to know is that in future relationships if a dispute arises, how will it be possible to resolve that? we are very clear we won't have that jurisdiction that? we are very clear we won't have thatjurisdiction of the european court of justice, have thatjurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, we will put in place arrangements to ensure that businesses have the confidence of knowing they can continue to trade across the european union. the european court of justice trade across the european union. the european court ofjustice is the bedrock of all eu institutions forced its reach is extensive. ministers promised today to end specifically the direct jurisdiction of the court has prompted claims of

a climb—down. of the court has prompted claims of a climb-down. pragmatism has won out and the prime minister's earlier position making this a red line was always practical. and i think now we are moving to a sensible position, indeed we said at the time this is where we would have two end up, to have some copper mines. what the prime minister is now recognising is that there will be a role for the european court, whether it is for instance in relation to the withdrawal agreement, the transition period or even post brexit, in terms of the ecj law that we have incorporated into uk law. restoring the sovereignty of this place, our parliament deciding our laws, was one of the keeper misses of the leave campaign. for levers, it goes to the heart of what brexit mean. so any suggestion the european court of justice could still hold sway in the uk is unlikely to satisfy brexiteers. we wish to be independent again because european law and budgets and requirements

don't always suit the uk, and i think we are getting in the way of their progress towards a political union so we want to take back control and that means ending the role of the european court. theresa may insist she is sticking to her red line that that could prove a stumbling block in the negotiations. brussels wants a future role for the european court and wants divorce matters dealt with first. it won't be an easy ride. clive coleman explain how much influence the ecj was still going to have. you see i think it will continue to have influence, the question is how much. the government in this paper reiterate their position, which is uncontroversial, that when we leave, eu law ceases to have direct effect, judgments of the european court of justice have direct effect, judgments of the european court ofjustice cease to be binding on this country. the question is what follows. there will bea question is what follows. there will be a bilateral agreement, a trading agreement, how is that overseeing, how is that police and howard disputes dealt with? the government

throws up another of different scenarios here which provides a greater or lesser influence of the ecj. if it is a bilateral agreement, the ecj should not have soldier restriction over any arbitration mechanism, nor indeed should the uk. a line breaking news connected to brexit. the home office has sent around 100 letters "in error" to eu citizens in the uk, telling them they are liable for detention and that a decision has been made to remove them from the uk. the mistake a p pa re ntly remove them from the uk. the mistake apparently emerged after a finnish macro academic, who has the right to live in the uk, applied for a qualified person certificate and then went public when she received then went public when she received the letter from the home office. she works at london's queen mary university, is married to a uk citizen. in response, a home office spokesperson has said this, a limited number of letters were issued in error. we have been urgently looking into why this

happened, we are contacting everyone who received this letter to clarify that they can disregard it, and we are absolutely clear that the rights of eu nationals living in the uk remain unchanged. so that is from the home office in the last few moments. let's go to luxembourg, adam fleming is there. when you look at that, what do you see?|j adam fleming is there. when you look at that, what do you see? i am stood outside the ecj in luxembourg, those two go towers by me. it is a traditional holiday so no reaction from the people that work there or any of the legal experts actually in the ecj. the first test, though, for this government's strategy we will see at the end of next week because david davis and michel barnier will sit in brussels for another set of exit talks. top of the agenda is citizen rights, how do you guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in the rights of eu citizens living in the uk at brexit? mr barnier wants

the uk at brexit? mr barnier wants the european court ofjustice to have the final right of guaranteeing those people's writes. britain today is saying absolutely no way, that is not a gala. so we will see next week —— that is not going to work. we will see just how sticky backed sticking point is next week. looking further into the future, michel barnierfor further into the future, michel barnier for the further into the future, michel barnierfor the eu side has suggested the withdrawal agreement could be policed by a joint committee made up of people from the eu and the uk, that could thrash out problems. but if those problems couldn't be solved it would then get referred to, guess what, the european court of justice. referred to, guess what, the european court ofjustice. will that go down well with the british government, bearing in mind what they have written in their paper today? and looking even further forward , today? and looking even further forward, which is how do you settle disputes about the future of trade agreement or a future partnership or relationship that the eu and the uk, with? that will be a matter for the other 27 eu leaders who in the next couple of months. the next set of

guidelines for what they think that relationship should look like, and thatis relationship should look like, and that is when we will get a reaction from them about how they feel disputes should be settled between the uk and the eu in future. thank you, adam fleming, in luxembourg. labour's chris leslie is a supporter of the cross—party group, open britain and campaigned for the uk to remain in the eu. he's in our westminster studio. chris leslie, good afternoon. what do you make of this paper? bear in mind that the referendum of course was quite finely balanced, and vote leave made this big commerce before the referendum that there wouldn't be any european court ofjustice over site at all, we could be out, isolated, totally cut off from that, and it turns out the government are now effectively saying, actually, there will still be influence of the european court of justice, there will still be influence of the european court ofjustice, they might be claiming they can rename it as an arbitration panel or some sort of dispute resolution body, but ultimately the truth, which is that if you have shared trade, shared arrangements committee will have to have some sort of shared dispute resolution mechanism, that is

beginning to creep out and there was nothing the government can do the sort of gloss over that. not true, they say, if you compare for example they say, if you compare for example the deals with canada or with singapore within the eu? even in some of those deals, you have arrangements where when it came to ratification by some of the european nation states, they actually wanted the ecj interpretation of some of the ecj interpretation of some of the rules to still apply. so, you know, it is never as clear—cut as those who made those big promises during the referendum, when it comes to pass. what we are seeing now is a government dawning on them that there are real dangers in pretending that you can withdraw and cut yourself off from the rest of the world. if you are going to share trade, have those alliances, we have to havejoint trade, have those alliances, we have to have joint arrangements. trade, have those alliances, we have to havejoint arrangements. that sometimes means our judges to havejoint arrangements. that sometimes means ourjudges and their judges coming together to arbitrate over these things. that was obvious all the way through, and it was a

lie to pretend that was not going to be the case, and that is what i think some of us get very angry about, because we feel that many of the british public might have been duped by some of the promises made i vote leave. but when the prime minister says, as she has today, that the uk will take back control of its laws and rules in the future will be made in westminster and edinburgh and cardiff and belfast, she is right, isn't she? but of course our laws were made by the uk parliament, by those devolved assemblies already. they were, but they could then be taken to the ecj if somebody questioned element of them and they fell foul of eu law, and that is the key difference. because we had chosen as the uk to be party to those joint arrangements. and now we have chosen not to be? but those papers are saying even if we leave the eu, we might still want to choose to be pa rt might still want to choose to be part ofjoint mechanisms, call them what you like, it is still a court of some sort or another. the thing is, why are we trying to cobble back

together something when we are already in something that is far superior? i think this is an opportunity for us to say actually, look, let's stay in the single market, the customs union, it works better, let's not opt for an inferior arrangement, which could putjobs and inferior arrangement, which could put jobs and public inferior arrangement, which could putjobs and public services at risk. you say that is far superior but isn't that going quite close to disregarding the outcome of the referendum? if the british public, when they see the truth about these arrangements, that you can't actually just cut yourself off, that there will continue to have to be joint arrangements between the uk and other countries, they have a right to say, actually, on reflection, can we think again? is there a way of reversing this process , there a way of reversing this process, can we stay in the single market and the customs union? that would be i think an ongoing democratic process for the british people and some of them will fight to have that right. thank you for coming on. princes william and harry have described their bewilderment when they encountered grieving crowds, on the day

of their mother's funeral. speaking in a bbc documentary marking 20 years since the death of diana princess of wales, they say walking behind her coffin was a family decision. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it was the week when a nation mourned, and the monarchy faced sharp criticism. at its heart were two boys, william and harry, then aged 15 and 12. grieving for the loss of their mother, but required by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage the public sense of loss. in a bbc documentary, william and harry speak about the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told that their mother was dead. and in harry's case it's clear that there still anger towards the french photographers who were pursuing diana's speeding car in the crash in the alma tunnel in paris. i think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel

were the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back—seat of car. and william and i know that, we've been told that numerous times by people that know that was the case. she'd had quite a severe head injury but she was still very much alive on the back—seat. and those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs of her dying on the back—seat. and then those photographs made their way back to news desks. william and harry were at balmoral when they heard the news from paris. they speak up in support of their grandmother for her efforts to shield them. and of their father, he tried to do his best for us, says harry. applause. william... bless you. bless you, william. when they moved from balmoral to london, they countered grieving crowds. and it's clear that they found

the experience bewildering. with so many people sobbing and wanting to touch them. of the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin, both say it was a collective, a family decision and both say they felt a strong sense of duty, even then. when you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you're 15, as very sadly many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, it leaves you... you know, it will either make or break you. and i wouldn't let it break me. i wanted it to make me... i wanted her to be proud of the person i would become. i didn't want worried or her legacy to be that, you know, william and or harry were completely and utterly devastated by it and that all the hard work and all the love and all the energy that she put into us when we were younger, would go to waste. they were children, coping with their own grief and the attention of a grieving nation, and two kept going to honour their mother's memory. nicholas witchell, bbc news.

and you can see that documentary ‘diana, seven days' on bbc one on sunday at 7.30 in the evening. president trump has used a rally in arizona to launch a blistering attack on media coverage of his response to violence in charlottesville earlier this month. the president was accused of failing to condemn the white supremacists who clashed with anti—fascist protesters, and for saying that there was blame on many sides. but the president told supporters in phoenix that the media, which he described as ‘dishonest‘, had been selective in its reporting. our correspondent james cook sent this report. tea rgas and trouble on the streets of phoenix. the clashes didn't last long, but for a short time they were intense, as riot police cleared protestors from the street after a presidential rally. the police have formed a line here. there have been announcements, telling people to go home, telling protestors to leave the area.

for a few minutes it was pretty unpleasant, with some tear gas in the air, which was stinging my eyes. but also, the eyes of the people it was aimed at. for the moment it does seem to have worked. it seems to have driven them off down the street. inside, it had been an animated donald trump who had rallied his supporters by denouncing the news media. mr trump quoted himself at length, aiming to demonstrate he had wholeheartedly condemned the actions of neo—nazis in the city of charlottesville, when a counterprotester was killed. what happened in charlottesville strikes at the core of america. and tonight, this entire arena stands united in forceful condemnation of the thugs who perpetrate hatred and violence. but the very dishonest media, those people right up there with all the cameras... booing. they make up stories. they have no sources in many cases. they say, "a source says",

there is no such thing. but they don't report the facts. just like they don't want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence, and strongly condemned the neo—nazis, the white supremacists and the kkk. if you want to discover the source of the division in our country, look no further than the fake news and the crooked media, which would rather get ratings and clicks than tell the truth. president trump took his war with the media to a new level tonight, attacking journalists again and again. he clearly regards the best way to defend against criticism of his presidency, as a full throated attack on the messenger. james cook, bbc news, phoenix, arizona. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may insists the uk will take

back control of its laws after brexit. government proposal stressed the european court ofjustice would retain no directjurisdiction. as the 20th anniversary of princess diana's death approaches, prince harry talks to the bbc about the night of that fatal car crash. president trump launches a lengthy thai red against the media's coverage of cha rlottesville, thai red against the media's coverage of charlottesville, saying most journalists are bad coverage of charlottesville, saying mostjournalists are bad people who hate america. and in sport, england captain wayne rooney has retired from international football. captain wayne rooney has retired from internationalfootball. the everton forward hasn't played for the national team since november but was on the verge of a comeback after an impressive start to the season. liverpool will be without injured philippe coutinho again as they face hoffenheim in the second leg of their champions league qualifier at anfield. jurgen klopp's side have a 2-1 anfield. jurgen klopp's side have a 2—1 advantage. and the circus has begun. mcgregor and mayweather start their pre—match hype in las vegas ahead of their fight at the weekend.

i will be back with more on those stories just after half past. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says politicians in the north of england should find their own solutions to the region's transport problems , not central government. writing in the yorkshire post, mrgrayling said... the article comes as northern leaders are meeting in leeds calling for more money and a commitment from central government to help improve transport links in the region. our correspondent dan whitworth is in leeds for us. good afternoon, julian. as you say, there has been a meeting going on here in leeds today, dozens of political leaders and business leaders from right across the north of england, meeting just behind me here at the cloth hall in leeds. they have been coming together to speak with one voice, unity very much a theme of this meeting, when

they are demanding more commitment andindeed they are demanding more commitment and indeed more money from the government when it comes to helping improve and build public transport networks here across the north of england. as you said in your introduction, this comes off the back of an article in this morning's yorkshire post from the transport secretary, christopher grayling. he wasn't here today by the way. the headline sums it up, it is up to the north to sort out rail issues. that left a bit of a sour taste in the mouth of some delegates here. chris grayling says £10 billion is only being spent. i am joined by the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, how did the meeting today? extremely well, it was a positive meeting and the message coming out of it is that westminster may have ignored the north for many decades, but no more. we are now going to speak with one voice, as you say, and make sure that voice is heard loudly on the national stage. people can hear the voice of scotland, wales and northern ireland, and they got a special deal recently but it is time to the north of england to

get the same. quite a funeral is coming out of this meeting, 15 million live in the north, if it was its chris grayling is right, you can sort this out on your own? this is not about point—scoring or party politics. it is about making the case of the north. we need to get our act together. let's speak with one voice, make it easier for government to speak to the north of england. on the other hand, they have to play their part too. we cannot have a 21st—century rail syste m cannot have a 21st—century rail system here without multi—million pound backing from the government. they have given and london that kind of support, they now need to give it to us as well. why should the north get the special treatment? to us as well. why should the north get the special treatment7m to us as well. why should the north get the special treatment? it is not special treatment, it is what londoners have had over many years, and in fact we are only asking for what the government has promised us, they were the ones who started saying, we will have a northern

powerhouse. we are saying great, but where is it, you can't make promises the people here and not expect people to be cynical if they are not then delivered. you mentioned, i was in that meeting, there was a lot of passion, a lot of determination. what next. a lot of positive developments. we want to build a parliamentary campaign around what we are saying because the parliamentary arithmetic means we may be a will to use that to our advantage and see if parliament will back for the north of england is saying but also a very significant development. we have agreed to set up development. we have agreed to set upa permanent development. we have agreed to set up a permanent body to represent the north of england and that is a significant development, so there can be one voice on the national stage and people can hear us as loudly as they can currently hear scotland, wales and northern ireland. identity theft is reaching epidemic levels, according to a leading fraud

prevention organisation. it says it is seeing nearly 500 cases a day, and that there were nearly 90,000 cases in the first six months of this year — a record high. our personal finance reporter, kevin peachey has the details. our digital footprints are getting deeper the more we go online. fraudsters harvest personal details used on computers and phones and then use them to apply for loans and insurance products in our names. for one victim, nick, it took five months to get it all sorted out. a bank account was set up in my name. subsequently i was nominated as a guarantorfor a payday loan. i don't know whether that was an online application or not. an application for a credit card was made in my name. and goods were purchased in my name. the most targeted group was 31—to—a0—year—olds, with cases rising 1.5% to nearly 19,000 in the first half of this year.

whereas the over 60s, often considered the most vulnerable to fraud, saw cases drop 6%, the only age group to see a fall. many people don't even realise their identities have been stolen. fraudsters hack computers and trawl social media to try and build up personal details. but they also buy and sell information on the dark web, the part of the internet that is not available through a conventional search. so how can you police this growing threat of fraud? the perpetrators of online fraud are in china, russia, america. so if the police try to follow up some online fraud will find it very difficult to identify any individuals who have perpetrated the fraud. one think tank says it special constables could fill the gap. police forces need skills to meet cyber crime. one way of doing this is to use volunteers. we looked at countries like estonia, which are employing 1% of their it professionals as volunteers.

and if that was translated to england and wales that would be 12,000 people. in the meantime, fraud prevention groups suggest people change passwords regularly, and notjust to their date of birth or the names of their children. kevin peachey, bbc news. danish police have identified a torso found south of copenhagen as the missing swedish journalist, kim wall. the authorities believe she died on board a homemade submarine. the craft‘s inventor, peter madsen, has been accused of negligent manslaughter. a father from sussex has been sent to a turkish jail for trying to take home some coins he found while snorkelling. toby robyns, an ambulance driver from southwick in west sussex, was arrested as he made his way through security at bodrum airport. he found the coins on the sea bed while swimming and packed them in his hand luggage. our correspondent piers hopkirk is outside the family home in southwick. tell us more about this development.

well, as you say, toby robins had been on a two—week family holiday in turkey. either he or a member of his family had been outspoken and had discovered these old coins on the sea bed. as the family began their long journey home in the early hours of saturday morning, these coins we re of saturday morning, these coins were discovered in luggage as they passed through security at bodrum airport. mr robyns was arrested and detained. these coins were then sent toa detained. these coins were then sent to a local archaeological museum for authentication. they were found to be authentic, and that has left mr robyns facing a charge of smuggling. now clearly hugely distressing for him, no less to stressing for his family, who are here at home in

southwick. i went to talk to them this morning. they were clearly enormously upset, and enormously distressed. they didn't want to talk to the media, or to give an interview, because this is the situation that they face. while they are here at home, the father of the family is thousands of miles away in a turkish prison, and they have simply no idea of when he might come back. now the family and mr robyns himself receiving consular assistance from the foreign and commonwealth of the skull and their local mp, commonwealth of the skull and their localmp, tim commonwealth of the skull and their local mp, tim loughton, is also representing them. he gave us a statement in the last few minutes, he told us that we are working with the foreign office to establish all the foreign office to establish all the facts. this was an innocent, albeit foolish, mistake, and we now need to ensure mr robyns is treated fairly and properly. thank you very

much. this is bbc news, and coming up in the next few minutes, goodbye england. wayne rooney, england's all—time leading goal—scorer, retires from international football. that is in a few moments, but before that, lucy martin has the weather. a gradual brightening up from the west as we move through the day, this pound of rain edging its way eastwards, fairly heavy showers for northern england in there but we will start to draw on some fresh air behind it, some brightness, just one or two showers and i think they will be largely centred across northern ireland. temperatures reaching a maximum of 2a celsius in the far south—east, where we hold onto that humid airfor longer. south—east, where we hold onto that humid air for longer. as south—east, where we hold onto that humid airfor longer. as we go through the night, the rain becoming confined to the far northern isles, if you showers and northern ireland and western coasts, and plenty of dry weather, feeling fresher than last night, overnight lows of 12 to 14 last night, overnight lows of 12 to 1a celsius. tomorrow, low pressure

sitting out of the north—west, it has been there for much of the week and will send some showers into northern ireland and parts of scotla nd northern ireland and parts of scotland and northern england, making their way across to the east. but for wales and much of england, plenty brightness around, though it will feel a touch fresher with temperatures reaching a maximum of 22 celsius. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the government has published a paper outlining its desire to end the directjurisdiction of the european court ofjustice over uk law after brexit. the home office says it has sent around 100 letters in error to eu citizens living in the uk telling

them that a decision has been made to deport them from the uk. prince william and prince harry have been talking about their sense of bewilderment at the grieving crowds in the week between their mother's death and her funeral. police and protesters have clashed outside a trump rally in arizona. in his speech, the us president has defended his record on opposing racial hatred. identity theft is reaching epidemic levels according to campaigners. they say people in their 30s are the most targeted group. now time to catch up with the afternoon sports news. good afternoon. england's all—time record goal scorer wayne rooney has retired from international football with immediate effect. he's been described as an icon by fa chairman greg clarke and to talk more about this i'm joined by sports reporter david ornstein. what did rooney say? let's go

straight into his own comments because he took to social media when this was announced to say, dreams can come true and playing for england has been exactly that. thanks to everyone involved, it's been amazing. he linked to a statement on his website in which he talked about gareth southgate, the england manager ringing to recall him to the england squad and it was at that point rooney told him he was retiring, as he says for good, from international football. he talked about playing for england being very special to him. but he said now is the time to bow out and he wants to focus his energies on making everton his club successful. he says i will a lwa ys his club successful. he says i will always remain a passionate england fan, one of my few regrets is not being able to be part of a successful england team at tournament level. he finishes with an interesting statement, he says one day the dream will come true, england will be successful, and i look forward to being there as a fan or in any capacity. coe be opening a return in some form to the england

fold? for you how much of a shock was it, was it a shock? it was a surprise in terms of the fact that his form for everton has been great and of course he was going to be recalled by gareth southgate for this squad. but in terms of the reaction today it seems that it's a fairly sound decision. most people think the time was right. many people had written him off after his final goal for people had written him off after his final goalfor england people had written him off after his final goal for england which was against iceland. he has not played for england since november. many will feel it is the right time. he bows out as england's most goal scorer. like celtic, tonight liverpool will be looking to secure their place in the group stages of the champions league. they have a 2—1 lead over german side hoffenheim after the first leg. they'll again be without phillipe coutinho at anfield tonight, as he recovers from illness and injury. liverpool have turned down three bids from barcelona for the midfielder — butjurgen klopp says

his relationship with the brazilian is fine. why you ask if everything is ok between me and him? that was the question, right? and i answered with, of course. oryes. indeed. absolutely. 100%. money, image and verbal sparring — we can expect all that and more from conor mcgregor and floyd mayweather over the next few days. the pair were greeted by fans at the opening of the week's build—up to the fight which will take place in the early hours of sunday morning. it's thought this will be one of the most lucrative fights in boxing history, although a few thousand tickets still haven't been sold. the fight sees mcgregor — who has never boxed professionally — up against mayweather, one of the greatest in the sport, currently undefeated. it's all about giving fans what they wa nt to it's all about giving fans what they

want to see. i have been sporned the sport so many years and this is the last one. conor can talk the talk? that's what makes this matchup so intriguing, i have been off two years, i feel like intriguing, i have been off two years, ifeel like i intriguing, i have been off two years, i feel like i lost a few steps so we will see. olympic bronze medallists marcus ellis and chris langridge are through to the third round of the world badminton championships in glasgow. the 14th seeds in the men's doubles had few alarms against austria but they won by two games to nil. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. let's return to our main story this afternoon. theresa may considered it to be one of her red lines, the ending of the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice in the uk post—brexit. today, the government will set out its plans to stop its influence after march 2019. so how important is the european court ofjustice and what exactly does it do? chris morris from our reality check

team has been looking in more detail at the role of the ecj. if you're talking about the resolution of legal disputes in the european union, then this place has the final say. the european court ofjustice based in luxembourg. it's the eu's highest legal authority. now it shouldn't be confused, this is important to note, with a different court, the european court of human rights. a separate institution based in strasbourg which is not part of the european union. and it is the court of human rights, not the court ofjustice, that has often upset british politicians by making it harder, for example, to deport terrorist suspects. so what does the ecj do? well, it ensures that eu institutions like the commission and eu member states are complying with european law. it allows member states to challenge eu legislation if they think it's somehow breaks the rules. and it interprets eu law at the request of national courts. in other words, it interprets and enforces pretty much everything

the eu does, including the rules of the single market. and that makes it absolutely critical to the brexit process, especially after the tory party conference last year when the new prime minister said this. we're not leaving, only to return to the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. that is not going to happen. at that point vague promises during the referendum campaign to take back control of our laws suddenly became a very specific promise to end the jurisdiction of the ecj in the uk. it became a government red line. now the trouble with that is that all the rules and regulations that make the eu tick overseen by the european court. so if the uk decides that after brexit it wants to stay in the european air safety agency or the european arrest warrant or the european medicines agency or a long list of other agencies that regulate various

aspects of our lives, it will have to accept that the ecj will still have influence over uk affairs. that is why the government is now calling for an end to the direct jurisdiction of the ecj. which implies an acceptance that we will have to follow many of its judgments indirectly. if we want to create the deep and special partnership with the eu that ministers talk about. and the government's new paper examines a number of precedents, one which has been discussed a lot recently is the efta court which governs the legal relationship that non—eu countries, iceland, norway and lichtenstein, have with the eu single market. the efta court is independent but, in practice, it follows ecj rulings extremely closely. the eu could probably accept something similar for the uk but some brexiteers might not. and that is why david davies says he wants a new and unique solution. joining me now is our legal correspondent clive coleman. what are we potentially looking at

here now that we have this paper in front of us? well, the government reiterates the clear position that when we leave the eu, then the direct effect of eu law in the uk comes to an end, the judgments of the european court ofjustice seize to be binding and that's uncontroversial. they seize to be binding. what's controversial is what comes next and in particular in relation to any trading agreement. and how that would be overseen, how it would be effectively policed and any disputes would be resolved under that agreement. what the government do in this paper is they don't pin their colours to any particular mast, they throw out and itemise a number of models and possibilities which could more or less influence, continuing influence to the european court of justice, for continuing influence to the european court ofjustice, for instance, they talk about a joint committee, they talk about a joint committee, they talk about a joint committee, they talk about arbitration panel and arbitration court. the reality i think is this, the more eu law that there is at the heart of the brexit

trade agreement that we come to with the eu, the greater the influence of the eu, the greater the influence of the ecj will remain. let's face it, if we want to sell our cars into the eu, there is likely to be a high degree of eu law within that agreement. the eu is not going to sign up to an agreement that gives the uk special privileges, if you like, on for instance state aid to companies or emissions standards of vehicles, if we want to sell vehicles, if we want to sell vehicles to germany we are going to have to meet eu emissions standards. so, my view on this is there will be a lot of eu law within the trade agreement and that means there will bea agreement and that means there will be a significant influence for the ecj. it will no longer have unique sole jurisdiction over disputes, but it will continue to have a role and if we look at this document some of the models say in some instances the arbitration panel, whatever it is, will take into account decisions of the ecj, there is even a section

here on voluntary reference to the ecj if there is a point of eu law in dispute, the panel or whoever it is, can refer the matter to the ecj to get a definitive ruling. so we are not going to see the end of the ecj any time soon. this has proposals within it. this is now part of the negotiation process and will be debated now heavily in brussels. we know what the clear blue water is. what the space between the parties is. the uk wants a bilateral agreement policed and overseen by some, either a committee or a panel, the eu's position is slightly different. when it comes to matters of eu law they're not going to allow any other court to determine matters of eu law. but if you take etfa, it's not really eu law, it applies under that agreement. but the closer it is to eu law, my instinct is the greater the influence of the ecj. thank you very much.

let's get more reaction from the conservative mp bernard jenkin, chair of the commons public administration select committee who campaigned for brexit. he is in our westminster studio. good afternoon. good afternoon. what do you make of this paper? well, i haven't had a chance to read it in detail. but i am very happy with it. i think your correspondent and your legal correspondent both gave a very particular view about these matters. the fact is there is a very fundamental change happening which we are all agreed about, which is that we are leaving the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. that is the european court and our own courts will no longer be able to use european law to strike down the laws passed by our own parliament. parliament makes the law. our courts will be obliged to interpret parliament's law will be obliged to interpret pa rliament‘s law in will be obliged to interpret parliament's law in accordance with parliament's law in accordance with parliament's wishes. we will no longer be subject to the european court of justice. that

longer be subject to the european court ofjustice. that big change seems to me rather gets lost in all the argument about all this meticulous... let's not lose it then. we remarked upon it as being perhaps slightly less controversial element of this, what about when there are disputes between the uk and the eu over any number of potential issues in the future, the eu will have a part in settling those? if we sell our products into the eu, clearly those products have to comply with eu standards. at the moment, we have to manufacture all our products in compliance with eu standards, whether or not we are selling them into the eu. so that will change. we will be able to set our own standards in our own market if we wish to. something like motors, we won't want to. but the point is, it's not correct incidentally to say that the european court ofjustice in the eu has not had a view on the extradition of terrorists, there is a very close working relationship

between the ecj and the human rights court and the european court of justice in the eu has always said it will obey the rulings of the human rights court. if we have a problem with the human rights court a lot of that comes through european court of justice. but the simple thing here is we are going to be an independent sovereign nation state. we will make a bilateral agreement, this is what the government's policy is, with the eu, there will be an independent body and the etfa court isn't ideal because a truly independent body in a normal international agreement does not have a serving judge from the court of the country concerned serving on that independent body. cani serving on that independent body. can i pick up on the independent body and how you would see that made up, there was talk of an arbitration body containing arbitors. how would you decide the independent figures?

they would be political appointees rather thanjudicial. they would be political appointees rather than judicial. appointed by whom? the government would appoint somebody from our side. the commission would appoint somebody from their side. but it wouldn't be the court's appointing these people. that's where the efta court is different. that's not objective because of course if you are serving ona because of course if you are serving on a supreme court you would be obliged to uphold the rulings of that court on which you are serving. so it's not so independent. the point i am getting at is if there is an arbitration panel and element of eu input into that panel, which you have acknowledged there would have to be. but there would be an element of british input. there would still be influence potentially from the ecj within that picture? well, i voted leave and supported leave but iam not voted leave and supported leave but i am not paranoid about the european union. i don't want the uk to be put in some kind of legal isolation away from the rest of the world. our

judges look at what the supreme justices in the united states rule or what other commonwealth parliaments — other supreme courts rule. we are all interested in how each other is interpreting stuff, particularly in this age where there is new stuff to interpret around technology or the internet and data and broadcasting rights and complicated areas. but the reason we wouldn't be in the medicines agency or the european aviation safety agency, for example, is because we would want our own arrangements. there might be transitional arrangements until we get our own arrangements until we get our own arrangements set up where the european court ofjustice might have a role. but if that — there is unone big problem here if the european court of justice has big problem here if the european court ofjustice has any continuing jurisdiction, they are a supreme court. they do not limit their own jurisdiction. they write their own boundaries. they can determine what their boundaries are. if we have

that direct jurisdiction for any length of time, then we will be com pletely length of time, then we will be completely hobbled in trading arrangements with other member states, other countries, for example. you have used the word direct, much has been made of the use of the word direct. are you worried about indirect jurisdiction that might continue beyond all of this? i have just that might continue beyond all of this? i havejust used that might continue beyond all of this? i have just used the word directs and actually if you think about it, you either have jurisdiction or you don't. at the moment the ecj hasjurisdiction. and after we leave it won't. really there is no distinction between direct and indirect. what people are talking about... there is, isn't there? people are talking about is whether it continues to influence thinking and to what extent it continues to influence thinking. but our own supreme court will be supreme, we will not be obliged to accept any rulings of the european court of justice, accept any rulings of the european court ofjustice, period. thank you very much. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour

but first the headlines on bbc news. theresa may insists the uk will take back control of its laws after brexit, government proposals stress the european court ofjustice would retain no directjurisdiction. as the 20th anniversary of princess diana's death approaches, prince harry talks to the bbc about the night of that fatal car crash. president trump launches a lengthy tirade against the media's coverage of charlottsville saying most journalists are bad people who hate america. hello. in the business news: identity theft is reaching "epidemic levels", according to a fraud prevention group, up 5% on the same time last year. id fraudsters obtain personal information before apply for loans and store cards in the name of their victim. shares in advertising giant wpp are down sharply this morning — at one point more than 10% lower — after it reported slowing sales and warned about the future. the company said that group performance had been "much tougher" for the first half of the year.

and confirmation here of the wpp share price, but the euro has gained 0.5% on the pound in the past half hour and has broken the 92p barrier, its lowest since a short—lived "flash crash" in october. there have been a fewjitters on wall street as markets open following president donald trump's threat to close down us government if necessary to build his wall along the mexico border. the comments come as he struggles to gain support for many of his flagship policies. he also warned that he might scrap the north american free trade agreement with mexico and canada to jump—start negotiations. the three countries ended theirfirst negotiations. the three countries ended their first round of talks on sunday with the aim of revamping nafta by early 2018. let's talk to

michelle fleury. are thejitters about concerns about the shutdown possibly of the us government or the ripping up of the nafta trade agreement? when you have the kind of fiery rhetoric we saw from donald trump that certainly unnerved investors, in the case of the north american free trade agreement and the potential for that to be american free trade agreement and the potentialfor that to be ripped up, it's the sort of knock—on effects on global trade that i think have people anxious. then of course the other aspect is the looming potential government shutdown that donald trump is threatening if he doesn't get the money he wants to build his wall. that obviously has lots of implications, notjust government shutdown, but also tax reform which many people on wall street are hoping for. that's it, because it certainly seems as though he has approached many stumbling blocks it will be difficult for him to push through the reforms,

stimulus policies, that really lifted stocks since he came to office. if you pick apart his comment about shutting down the government overfunding comment about shutting down the government over funding for the wall, how it works here is that you have congress and the white house have congress and the white house have to come up with a spending bill before the end of september. if they can't agree on a spending bill the government shuts down. this would be very unusual, in part, because typically when the white house and both houses of congress are coaled by the same party you expect more agreement, that's necessarily going into this, the president making it clear funding into this, the president making it clearfunding for into this, the president making it clear funding for the wall is a priority for him. that could push democrats further away from the table, negotiating table, some of their votes will be needed to get a bill down and of course there are some republicans who don't want to see taxpayer money used for this and are worried about how they're going to fund tax cuts which as you mentioned many probusiness, the probusiness tag that the president

has earned in part is around this idea of tax reforms. do you think that ultimately investors will slug this off because under the obama administration there were threats of administration there were threats of a government shutdown which didn't materialise? not from the president himself, but because as you say, he didn't have control of both houses? i suspect there will be jitters along the way between now and the end of september. not least because there is another separate issue which has to do with the debt limit which has to do with the debt limit which must be raised to make sure that america can continue to pay its bills. there is talk that potentially that could somehow be linked to the spending bill, that's the sort of thing that makes investors very anxious. you are talking about the credit rating of america, its ability to pay bills, that's something if you hear a lot of rhetoric about that ratcheted up over the course of the coming weeks ican imagine over the course of the coming weeks i can imagine the markets getting bumpy andjumpy about i can imagine the markets getting bumpy and jumpy about that. thank

you. here's a look at some other stories we're following today. chinese carmaker great wall motor has said it has not held talks with fiat chrysler, putting a possible bid for itsjeep brand in doubt. great wall confirmed it had researched the us—italian carmaker but made no substantial progress towards a deal. on monday, the carmaker expressed interest in buying some or all of fiat. shares in chinese firm fell 2% in shanghai after the announcement, before recovering slightly. amazon's blockbuster deal to acquire whole foods market for $13.7 billion will face a milestone this week. whole foods shareholders are voting today on the deal, which would propel amazon further into the grocery business than it has ever been. and the size of the gender pay gap in the movie industry has been laid bare by forbes. it estimates the top ten actors earned sass million last year — three times theirfemale counterparts who took

home $172 million. transformers star mark wahlberg tops the male list at $68m, compared with $26m for la la land's emma stone. let's check in with the financial markets. one of the main market move rs markets. one of the main market movers has been wpp which has seen on the board a big fall in its share price, down by almost 11% after it reported that slowdown in sales and a warning for the months ahead, that's weighed on london's ftse100. also the price of a barrel of oil is on the slide over oversupply concerns. brent crude is down. and investors are pretty unnerved about all supply from libya and stocks in the us. at the bottom of the board you can see how the pound is doing against the euro, near an eight—year low. we did have that flash crash last october but that was short—lived. we will keep an eye on it. that's all the business news for now. latest figures show the number

of complaints about bin collections that were upheld by the ombudsman rose sharply this year to 81%. the local government and social care ombudsman has warned that the outsourcing of bin collections to private companies is at the root of many issues. john maguire reports. in birmingham, the backlog caused by the recent bin strikes being cleared away. a stark example of how quickly rubbish piles up when the system breaks down. for many of us, waste collection is the most obvious service local authorities supply, and complaints, although a fraction of the hundreds of millions of collections that take place, are on the increase. the local government ombudsman receives around 500 enquiries and complaints about waste collection every year. two years ago they upheld in 59% of cases. but last year that figure had risen as high as 81%. the ombudsman can be contacted when somebody is dissatisfied at how their complaint is being handled.

problems start when councils fail to listen to complaints about missed collections and other problems with bins. we have seen cases where other people have waited three months for people to have their bins collected. in one case, and man waited ten months to have his bin taken back to the right place. the body that represents councils, the local government association, says that around 80% of residents are happy with their service. but it argues £2.2 billion worth of cuts by the government to local authorities adds pressure. it can be a dirtyjob, but somebody has to do it, and do it properly. and that someone is your local council. time to check on the weather forecast. good afternoon. we have seen heavy showers across northern england,

thunder included, as well. this photo sent in by a weather watcher in barnsley, some heavy rainfall there. further south we have seen more in the way of dry and bright weather. this photo sent in by a weather. this photo sent in by a weather watcher in suffolk. that rain in the north and cloud further southis rain in the north and cloud further south is edging slowly eastwards through the day. behind it we will drag in fresher air, through the day. behind it we will drag infresherair, we through the day. behind it we will drag in fresher air, we will also see more brightness developing. putting the detail on to the map, for northern ireland, it's a mixture of sunny spells and showers as we move through this afternoon. some of the showers could be fairly sharp, starting to brighten up in the west of scotland, but holding on to that cloud and outbreaks of rain in the far east. for northern england plenty of dry weather and the chance of the odd isolated shower. more in the way of brightness for wales and the way of brightness for wales and the south—west, again the odd isolated shower not out of the question. the best of the sunshine in the south—west. we are holding on to humid air in the south—east longest. through tonight that rain will become more confined to the northern

isles. we will see showers pushing into northern ireland and into the west coast. further east more dry weather. it's going to feel fresher than last night with overnight lows of around 12—14. into tomorrow, we have low pressure sitting out to the north—west. it's been sitting there for much of this week. for northern ireland and western scotland we will see a few showers pushing in. they could feed into parts of northern england as well. for much of wales and central and southern england seeing plenty of brightness and dry weather. temperatures reaching a maximum of around 22. it's a similar set—up into friday. we will see some showers pushing in to scotland and northern ireland. they'll be an organised band as they move through and more brighter, dryer weather the further south you are. again the best of the brightness in the south—east. that ta kes brightness in the south—east. that takes us into the weekend, where there is uncertainty. could see showers thanks to this weather front in the north. and this weather front in the north. and this weather front in the south—east could bring a few

heavy showers. for saturday and sunday we are looking at a few showers in the north, there will be plenty of dryer weather, as well. some sunshine but whether or not it will last into monday is some uncertainty. stay tuned. theresa may insists the supremacy of eu judges will end after brexit. under government proposals, the rights of eu citizens in the uk would be dealt with by britishjudges. when we leave the european union we will leave the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. the home office admits sending letters to some eu citizens in the uk, wrongly telling them that a decision had been made to deport them. as the 20th anniversary of princess diana's death approaches — prince harry talks to the bbc about the night of that fatal car crash. president trump launches a lengthy tirade against the media's coverage
