"the economy's getting better and better," this man says. hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. inside, though, there are 2a days left to brexit — the next seven could the message from china's leaders prove the most crucial. was much more candid, the vote on theresa may's deal, with a list of the serious a week today, hangs on what the attorney general may or may not secure in mounting risks. brussels this week. can geoffrey cox find some compromise that will reassure both the eu and his brexit supporting translation: downward colleagues at home, on the issue pressure on the economy of the irish border? continues to increase. there has been speculation that eurosceptics are softening and looking for a way to climb down.

others say that's not the case, growth in consumption is slowing. that a lengthy delay would be preferable to a deal that locks the difficulty private firms face the uk indefinitely in the backstop. today the foreign secretary in getting financing jeremy hunt urged brussels has not been resolved. to reflect, on what kind 0ur capacity for innovation is not strong. of relationship they want. there are many risks and hidden dangers in the financial sector. i think the strategic decision, not just for the uk but for europe so, to shore up growth, as well, for president macron he promised tax cuts, and his colleagues in continental more bank lending and — europe, is the relationship that continental europe has with the uk in a clear nod to washington — after brexit, going to be the closest of friendships? fairer access for foreign companies. that's what we want, not just a trading relationship but a diplomatic relationship, premier li keqiang mentioned the us—china trade dispute head—on, a strategic relationship, calling it "a profound change". it is. a relationship between countries that have basically the same values, no us president has ever challenged china's economy quite like this, or is it going to be a relationship and at a time when growth is already slowing. of strategic competition? the promise from parliament today and what we want is to continue that was more economic reform and political control. friendship and that is in china, the two go hand—in—hand. what we think is possible. without economic growth, the fear is there can be no we'rejoined now from brussels by the mep danuta hubner, political stability. chair of the european parliament's constitutional affairs committee. before they left the first session, she also sits on the parliament's the delegates were told of the need to strengthen party loyalty brexit steering group.

and tighten control over religion. let me get you to react what the foreign secretary said, do you think john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. the next seven days could define what kind of relationship there is between the eu and the uk?” what kind of relationship there is between the eu and the uk? i tend to ee, between the eu and the uk? i tend to 5, between the eu and the uk? i tend to agree, yes, but it is now the days in brussels where i hope the foi’ more we can ci’oss now to monica mehta - negotiations will bring positive a financial journalist who joins results and then of course the us from houston. voters. we are waiting for the vote classically, monica, when there is a slowdown in growth in china, chinese on the 12th, we trust this time the government pumped money into the system, are they likely to do that approach will bring us constructive again, western countries may not results. if the withdrawal agreement like it but isn't that likely to be the pattern we carry on seeing? is not passed by the british parliament next week but we had interesting, between all of the back instead into a delay period, whether and forth we have had with trade it is three months or more, are you discussions, really at the core of convinced the uk government will use the us's view on what needs to that delay constructively to come up with some kind of other agreement?” change is how the government treats subsidies to its own companies as believe it is important to put this well as its interference with tech transfers and intellectual property. question on the table in london i we have heard murmurs, it would not

think, what form the extension would be. we understand on the eu side, as we are now with such a delay practically now it is impossible to bea we have heard murmurs, it would not be a win for washington, it would be finalise without some technical extension, but a longer extension problematic. tariffs on further $250 for what? we have to remember the longer extension the more time the million worth will be postponed indefinitely. some may think, these negotiations in the future, only if trade talks are going well and we we had an agreement signed on with will come up with a good deal, do the transition period, can be you think the trump white house is on the verge of getting what no immediately start a negotiation which is fundamental for people in other prime bet president has done the uk, which is exactly the future and get structural reform of the agreement. this is what we meant by chinese economy. we hope so, what trump has hopefully recognised as having a very public war is not good the relationship between us. for the us stock market or the us brexiteers say it is critically what economy, just flash back three months and we were saying, huge they want, some legal mechanism or route out of the backstop. no volatility in the markets, and a lot of concern as to what was going to country could be locked perpetually happen for recession, larger ina country could be locked perpetually pull— backs in in a state of limbo. it is something

the eu could operate separate to happen for recession, larger pull—backs in the us, sol opening up the withdrawal agreement happen for recession, larger pull—backs in the us, so i think, very rightly, calming the conversation down is a good thing that might satisfy brexiteers?” for america. if he can negotiate and think this is currently the approach move the needle in terms of what is i'iow think this is currently the approach now that we have opened for the negotiations, which is something happening with intellectual property, theft and tech transfers, that would have legal value and and government subsidies by china, bring this certainty that the uk is which really do hurt us companies, i looking for. but i would also think that will be a big win for the suggest that people who have not us. quite right about that, reading found time yet to read the a poll today, cnbc, it suggested that one in five companies have had withdrawal agreement but specifically people to call on northern ireland, they would see how intellectual property stolen in much in terms of legal assurances china within the last year. it is a are already there. it should not be big issue for american companies, will china stick to any of these too difficult to convince the agreements they make with the trump hardest brexiteers that yes, there presidency. he might be out of are insurances that would it would office by 2020, they have made similar promises before in the wto round and not stop them. precisely be illegal. there are issuances in the treaty that would not allow us correct, the language floating to extend the customs agreement around is noncommittal, yet to see, indefinitely so that is why i am confident we could find a solution

very positive that they are at least that would have legal value addressing the issues and having sufficiently strong for the house of discussions but we will see what comes out of it and to what extent commons to have a constructive, positive vote next week. very anyone will even stand by it. thank grateful for your time, positive vote next week. very gratefulfor your time, thank positive vote next week. very you very much for that, in another grateful for your time, thank you. move to counter what he sees as our political correspondent jonathan blake is at westminster. that would be music to theresa may's unfair trade practices, donald trump has decided to end the preferential use that something can be found to trade agreement for india and be added to the withdrawal agreement that could take it over the line? turkey. that is what the government is within 60 days. hoping and has time goes on we have heard the government talking about legally binding changes to the withdrawal agreement, calls for the for india it amounts backstop to be changed or replaced to more than 5.5 billion dollars worth of goods. somehow. but now at this crucial but, india is playing down point it does seem, even those who the impact of the move, with the commerce secretary saying are most opposed to that part of the it would have a minimal economic impact. withdrawal agreement that aims to keep an open border in northern he sees everything in terms of the economy ireland if a trade deal cannot be and is not the geopolitical strategy agreed, have softened their stance of the united states has been following before, he needs india to slightly over the last couple of counterbalance china but he is days. make no mistake, they still starting a row just counterbalance china but he is starting a rowjust before the wa nt days. make no mistake, they still want a clear written guarantee from elections. what is happening with

the attorney general geoffrey cox, the attorney general geoffrey cox, the government chief law officer in brussels tonight negotiating these india is interesting and sits in changes, that britain could not be contrast to what is happening with trapped or stuck in that backstop china; india is the fastest—growing agreement indefinitely. the question economy in the world, the gdp growth is about how that is achieved and if surpassed 7.5% last year, certain he is able to change his advice on the basis of an added extra to the quarters, and it is approaching the fifth largest economy in the world, withdrawal agreement that supersedes neck and neck with the uk. when this what is already in it, it seems that would be enough now to satisfy some news broke out, india's response to of theresa may's critics. a little this was really, "0k, bit of optimism from the eu and news broke out, india's response to this was really, "ok, no big deal" jeremy hunt, how do the numbers look because despite it being... laughter close to $6 billion of trade goods in westminster? is that optimism in favour of theresa may's deal we affected, the net impact of the indian economy is $250 million, count from that critical vote? not looking like the government has been really not very significant, and there is a lot of other good going numbers for it? we are a week out on in the background, because —— and a lot can change it back time. india's economy is much stronger the last vote on the brexit deal and right now than china's economy, the house of commons was the worst india has not been a strong partner defeat suffered by any government in in terms of countering global terrorism along with the us. going records, well over 200 votes. that back six months, china and india

isa records, well over 200 votes. that is a huge mountain to climb and turn we re back six months, china and india were supposed to be slapped with around and get the deal passed, even with the sort of changes we have sanctions, for buying oil from iran, been talking about this evening. there will be some mps been talking about this evening. and the president did have those there will be some mp5 i think you exemptions that he extended in will never vote for this deal. 0ther november, which were a little bit of moves by the government to bring a gimme, forthose november, which were a little bit of around labour mps to support the a gimme, for those countries. a lot of back and forth going on. this act deal, based on their concerns about workers' rights and communities who by the president really does feel like something that isjust there to are losing out from eu funding being rise up the base. really is very withdrawn when britain leads the eu, do not seem to have gone far enough little to india. thank you very to convince enough of them. but in the next seven days a lot of mps had much. i was struck as well that the a lot of decisions to make and it is a lot of decisions to make and it is a question to them, whether they response from the hendra moji was support this deal this time around or if we're talking about another "no biggie"... key vote in a week's time? response from the hendra moji was "no biggie". .. laughter they are going to be listening to —— narendra modi. noises from the car industry because we had toyota, possibly even nissan, president trump has announced he will travel to alabama on friday — following catastrophic tornadoes bmw saying effectively, we do not that left 23 people dead.

and they are responsible for a lot of jobs. it is crunch week and everything is playing into that vote. yesterday the president was talking people, in one family. people keep about co—operation — today the word is harrasment. on telling me that the whole community is heartbroken, there are actually it is harassment in all people who feel very lucky to be capital letters. he's called the democrat inquiry alive, because they were inside into alleged obstruction their homes as the tornado made its ofjustice and abuse of power, way through their area, including disgraceful, tweeting: the greatest overreach in the history of our country. the dems are obstructing justice this man who lost an entire room of and will not get anything done. a big, fat, fishing expedition his house as a result of the force of the wind. the fear, so much fear, desperately in search of a crime, when in fact the real crime is what the dems are doing, and have done! he's referring to a request for documents that's gone out to 81 people and groups — i have cracks on the inside of the among them aides to the president, house, pick up the roof, but then members of his family and business associates. let's get more on this with our set it back down. did not take the north america editor, jon sopel. roof. there are areas deliberately art the democrats at risk of overreaching here? let's break this closed off with electricity down because is it within the companies trying to repair a downed pair power lines and search teams constitutional purview of the democrats to do this from the house? are working, trying to find people who have been reported missing and absolutely it is. is it their have not been found, that is why there are these lines. the death

oversight responsibility? yes. is it toll could yet again rise. politically smart? not so sure. this does look like an extensive fishing extraordinary images. operation against the president and would thisjust fire up republicans a counter—terror investigation has into thinking, you know what, we been launched in london after small explosive have had the special counsel devices were found at buildings at three major transport hubs. investigating the sport to use, why this is that they look like. is the house oversight committee the metropolitan police counter terrorism command said going down this path so extensively, they were discovered at heathrow airport, london city airport contacting every single one? let me and waterloo train station. the building in heathrow‘s give you a flavour of what serious grounds was evacuation after the device set alight oi'i give you a flavour of what serious onjust said last night. democrats when staff opened the package. police are treating the incidents as a linked series and say no are harassing the president to arrests have been made. distract from the medical agenda of let's speak to the bbc‘s robert hall making america a socialist country, killing babies after they are born who's at london's waterloo station. and pushing a green deal that would destroyjobs and what links to three? clear and pushing a green deal that would destroy jobs and bankrupt and pushing a green deal that would destroyjobs and bankrupt america. the democrats are not after the similarity between the three truth, they are after the president. devices, you have shown a picture of some may say this is over the top that package, contained in a white but i think it is clever politics on the part of the white house and the plastic postal envelope, within which was a padded envelope, within president's press spokesman. let's make this into a narrow partisan which was a padded envelope, within which was a padded envelope, within which was the device, which the issue. the republicans will heat specialist officers who have now looked at them, the explosives

what the democrats are doing and officers, they say that the devices thatis what the democrats are doing and that is why politically it may be a we re officers, they say that the devices were viable and one of the packages bit of a overreach. you have the at heathrow was opened by a member of staff, and you have clear white house saying this is harassment and a witchhunt but then charring, where the package caught you have another of the president's fire. in the case of the other two, former lawyer saying, it is not a won at waterloo, another at london city airport, around lunchtime bad thing, he does not think mother today, those were not open and a isa bad thing, he does not think mother is a bad thing and he is a hero. he warning had gone out by then to put people on the alert, that may have has talked about him being an contributed to the fact that nobody american hero and class act. it does else was involved in opening a not share the view it is a package and nobody was hurt, but witchhunt. the president has a problem with four lawyers. clear similarities, both in the way that the packages were addressed, really quite crudely, and, it has emerged this evening, the fact all that is not donald trump's views, his views are very different. the three had republic of ireland washington establishment, the stamps, and a return address to lawyers and people around donald dublin at the bottom of the front of trump know that mother has an the envelope, which is why the irish impeccable background, he is not a police are now involved with the party hack, he is not a republican counterterrorism command, in widening this investigation. clearly he is not a war hero, this is a a lot of questions about this, why

person with granite like integrity. would you put dublin on your envelope if that is where it came —— mueller. we are waiting for that from, giving clues to the police, report. people closest to donald these devices are rare, calling them trump what the report out of the bombs is inappropriate but let it devices like this are rare in the way, they do not want the temperature wound up but donald uk, but they have left a tonne of trump wants to say it is a hoax because when it does come out, it is forensic evidence for police to follow u p forensic evidence for police to follow up on. well, it certainly bad, he will be able to try and say would appear to be the case, it to his supporters, ignore it, this is not what matters. appears, ifi would appear to be the case, it appears, if i take this location as an example, waterloo, the alert went out at mid—morning, 11:30am, police thank you very much, no doubt the we re out at mid—morning, 11:30am, police were still here at 3:30am —— 3:30pm, democrats will try to slow what the investigations. there is a danger as careful examination of the site, and of close circuit television, i john was saying, they stated far end presume, all these devices, these overreach. i suppose they would say packages, came through the post, the if this was a conventional white post room here was the location house we would be acting in a where this one was found, so we can conventional manner but there is something new every day. first of, assume, using what we have just been they have only asked for documents talking about, using cctv, that as emitted to the mueller report, to there will be efforts now to trace there will be efforts now to trace the movement of these packages try and get them speedily and over a through the system, clearly a sense they are doing a fishing concern that there are other

investigation. they say these are packages out there, that have not been discovered, not yet open, documents already released to the perhaps sent to other transport mueller report and just want access hubs, these are three very obvious to them. democrats say there's not london hubs and there are others been any oversight in the chubb around the uk. thank you very much. administration and the need to have that so it is theirjob to investigate. but you are right, and this is beyond one hundred days. every aspect, the trump campaign, the trump organisation, the trump still to come: flipping out over shoes. white house, all of it is not do yours land the right way up? subject to some kind of investigation from democrats. it is what they said they were going to do, that is what they are doing. they are going to tie them up for months. i did look at my diary and we are already talking about presidential elections. it's official — hillary clinton is not running for president in 2020. britain s most senior police mrs clinton has been offering advice officer has contradicted the prime minister by linking to some of the democrats that have the rise in violent crime announced bids to be the party's to cuts in police numbers. there were 285 knife killings nominee — but says she doesn't think she will ever run in all last year in the uk. for public office again. nottinghamshire police so that's one big name out but it is the only force outside london to have a dedicated still leaves a crowded field of more knife crime unit. noel phillips spent

than a dozen nominees with quite different political positions — the day with them. some are centrist, some more left wing. de specialist officers are can the party unite responding to reports of a man with behind one or other? a deadly weapon, the bbc has been let's speak to sochi inohosa, communications director given exclusive access to nottinghamshire police's knife crime at the democratic unit, the only force outside of national committee. london with a dedicated knife crime task force. i can't believe we are already talking about 2020, before we get to it, however, that issue of overreach. democrats were voted back into power in the house of representatives on things like health care, jobs and economy. they we re health care, jobs and economy. they were not voted back into power because people want them to do investigations. they were voted back this 20—year—old was stabbed to into power because specific issues death on the streets of nottingham but you need to realise, and i think last september. i miss my son. she devoto is realised, republics do not do anything for two years and they came to the uk from eritrea in 2011 wa nt do anything for two years and they want a check on trump which is why they did not vote to put republicans hoping for a better life, this is backin they did not vote to put republicans back in power in the house. there's one of the last videos she has of is congress's responsibility. you ezra. wringing my son, not have federal and state investigations that are extremely answering. not answering. what is

serious and it would be irresponsible for congress not to going on with my son, my body is look at these serious allegations, and it is notjust about his business dealings or the trump shaking. maybe he is crying, maybe campaign but about recent policies, like child separation on the border. he is calling my name... five this is important, we are not going teenagers have pleaded not guilty to to let trump get away with in the murder of ezra, lives lost, permitting policies that we believe are unconstitutional and that is families scarred, authority what they are going to be looking struggling to cope with knife crime. at. we are going to look at the communities across the country demand urgent action to reverse this white house at the weight socialist deadly trend. a lot. in recent pull said that voters witnessed receptive to a democratic candidate he was over the age of 75 or one who they saw as a it wasn'tjust the senior uk socialist. is that a problem for the politicians meeting eu officials party? i think the term socialism is in brussels today — there was a group of five young something you are going to hear a people from northern ireland, lot from the trump campaign and who also met with chief brexit republicans because they do not know negotiator michel barnier, to put across their views. how to run on the issues. they realised in 2018 they cannot win on the issues. democrats cannot avoid they are from the pro—european our future 0ur choice group to be seen as socialist it looks that has been campainging

for a second referendum. like. what you're hearing from a little earlier democrats are policies the american people endorsed in 2018, expanding i spoke to the co—founder of the northern ireland wing, health care, combating climate aron hughes, and i asked him, what they'd hoped to achieve change, raising all these issues and from their meeting. we went to him with one clear aim, to tell him that northern irish overwhelming amount of americans young people, their futures cannot agree on democrats in this step. be used as a bargaining chip, we have seen over the last couple of weeks and months that our futures this splits out there. let me read have been put in as a political you the comments of david brock, a foot ball have been put in as a political football and the backstop has been thrown up. to us, it is real life. long—term ally of the clintons. he said, for all i know the burning sand is people might take as a compliment but for all the major he would not need convincing about donors of the party there is the backstop, he is the one concerns. there is concerns of donors that the two sides of the insisting it remains in the withdrawal agreement. if there is no party cannot it together.” donors that the two sides of the party cannot it together. i think deal, there is the risk that a hard right now you have a democratic border will return. did you get a party that is united in terms of sense that he is trying to find a issue and you will continue to see that. that will be up to the voter way through the current stand—off? to decide who rises from that but certainly, for me, i know that a no what we're doing here is making show deal option with the potential of a we give our candidates a platform in ha rd deal option with the potential of a hard border is absolutely disastrous order to talk about their ideas. for me to think of. i as a young that is why we having 12 debates,

person have grown up listening to my parents talk about what i hard border means to them, what it looked six in 2019, six in 2020, and that is so voters can decide who is best like. michel barnier listens to us, oi'i is so voters can decide who is best on the issues and you has the best listen to our concerns. growing up plans moving forward in order to win with what my parents have told me, the violence of the past, i don't and beat donald trump. thank you very much. it is to what she is wa nt the violence of the past, i don't want to going to that. michel barnier has said that it is not saying that democrats are united in their desire to find a candidate that can beat donald trump, that is reopening the withdrawal agreement, the backstop stands as it is. you their priority, but there are have been able to interact with emerging splits even since last european politicians today, does it november when he ran back the hands frustrate you that you cannot of representatives, between democrats who won in more interact with northern irish politicians in the same way at conservative areas, donald trump tight areas, who are concerned about stormont? this is severely what they see as it left shift in frustrating in northern ireland we have a democratic deficit, very the party and it will be a tussle to frustrating for us, we try to engage some extent who say we have to be with local politicians to give us a pragmatic and run in a basically voice in what is happening with centrist party, and those on the today's society, and to think that more liberal wing of the party who say this is where the energy is. the we can't engage with our own politicians, it is very frustrating for me and for all the northern parallels are striking because you
