was very pleased to receive his application, and a trainee a ccou nta nt application, and a trainee accountant at one of the big firms. so you are in good company. for me as well... there is nowjust a scintilla of uncertainty as to what the future... shouting. so, it appears that a protester has interrupted the chancellor speech there in the mansion house. very unusualfor there in the mansion house. very unusual for this to happen on such an occasion. it looks as though the

protesters are being taken away by some of the officials there. we heard philip hammond to starting his speech praising mark cerny. we understand they were protesting about climate change. of course it's unclear how the protesters managed to be there at such a prestigious event where normally security is pretty tight. certainly been at those occasions and very close to becoming an out. but it looks as though here the protesters are being taken away by the staff at this occasion. clearly it seems he's been unable to continue with his speech for the time being. the protesters

we re for the time being. the protesters were making quite a bit of noise. and they are being escorted out of the grand it looks as though one of the protesters is still there inside the venue. and making her point very vociferously, others their are being taken outside. very unusual to have disruption of this sort at such a big annual event which is attended by lots of captains of industry, senior city figures, of course the governor of the bank of england, mark carney is there. and we are not hearing the sounds any more, but it

does seem as though the protesters we re does seem as though the protesters were making quite a noise. philip hammond took the decision i think, after a word from the officials there and it looks as though one of there and it looks as though one of the protesters is reading out from a script, i do not know if we can hear any of this. no, we are not actually hearing sound from this event at the moment. we are dependent on the one camera feed from the occasion. but philip hammond is still waiting to resume his speech and clearly, all the guests are somewhat bemused, all the guests are somewhat bemused, a little bit of concern and people wondering what is going on as these

climate change protesters are escorted out of the venue by officials there in the city of london. protesters now being asked to leave. they show no signs of doing so. it seems as though their words certainly several of these protesters, we have seen at least two, perhaps three of them being taken out of the venue. but others are still there and ignoring the request to leave and continuing to make their point about climate

change. philip hammond had hardly gotten under way when the interruption took place and karen faces among the senior figures there and it looks as though philip hammond is back on his feet. let's see what he has to say. the irony, of course, is that this is the government that has just let the world by committing to a zero carbon economy by 2050. and as some of you may have noticed for me as well, there is just there

to make a bit of uncertainty for what the future may hold. and that isa what the future may hold. and that is a bit of an excuse for self—indulgent. but i can promise you i will not be doing it from an overpriced garden shed on wheels. the world has changed over the past nine years, but the values and beliefs that we have applied to the challenges we inherited in 2010 endure. and arejust challenges we inherited in 2010 endure. and are just as challenges we inherited in 2010 endure. and arejust as relevant challenges we inherited in 2010 endure. and are just as relevant to the ones we will face in 2020. a belief in britain as an open, tolerant, outward looking nation in the world. the market economy is the best way to deliver prosperity for all of our people and the belief that that model must evolve and adapt to a changing world. a belief in the power of enterprise that the

true strength of our economy and society lies in the innovators, the entrepreneurs and self—starters who ta ke entrepreneurs and self—starters who take risks and drive growth. a belief in a pragmatic politic that is open to compromise and deals with the world as it is. not as we might wish it to be. because the populace of the left and the right do not have the answers, but they do know how to ask the questions. and those who defend the centre ground of politics must answer them with solutions that respond to the electorate's concerns and unlock their aspirations. as we do so, we must not forget who we are. my party is the conservative and unionist party. we are a broad church, but we have two core u ns ha kea ble party. we are a broad church, but we have two core unshakeable beliefs. that a paramount duty of government

is to ensure britain's prosperity to the market economy and management of oui’ the market economy and management of our finances and that our four nations are more prosperous and successful when we act as one united kingdom. working together towards common goals based on the unique bond and shared values that have developed over centuries. and i cannot imagine a conservative and unionist led government actively pursuing a no—deal brexit. willing to risk... willing to risk the union and our economic prosperity and a general election that could put jeremy corbyn in downing street to

boot. and i will not concede the very ground that we stand on. i will fight and fight again to remake the case for pragmatism and for compromise and our politics. to ensure an outcome that protects the union, protects our economy and protects the prosperity of the united kingdom. nine years ago, i stepped into the cabinet room for the first time, part of a team that faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding an economy and our public finances after the shock of the 2008 crash. we have made significant progress but the journey has not been easy. 0f progress but the journey has not been easy. of the 23 full members of today's cabinet. 0nly been easy. of the 23 full members of today's cabinet. only three have served continuously since may 2010 andi served continuously since may 2010 and i can give you a clue, that number may go down by two thirds the next few weeks. by the way, you

might notice that i have chosen my words carefully here. i did not want to fall into the trap of one of my foreign counterparts who recently told a conference proudly and without a hint of irony that his government had taken over a country on the brink of a precipice but under their leadership had making a great step forward. —— taken. it is taking years of the full impact of the crash to be felt, so while it is true that ten years on the economy has recovered and we fixed the public finances, some of the tensions that were exposed by the crash and its aftermath contributed to the referendum shock in 2016 in the drift away from politics as usual since then. in short, while we have repaired the public finances and rebooted our economy, we have

not yet repaired our society and our politics. my approach to brexit has been shaped by the simple observation that no one, however passionate their views on europe, voted to be poorer. brexit in the eyes of the electorate must be a brexit that protects jobs, businesses and living standards. so the next prime minister will need to com plete the next prime minister will need to complete the post crash recovery process by rebuilding confidence in oui’ process by rebuilding confidence in our democratic politics and our market economy and demonstrate that it is capable of delivering an economy that works for everyone, where competition delivers or consumers, where businesses are sustainable and technology delivers better jobs sustainable and technology delivers betterjobs and real wage rises for workers as well as profits for

investors. but in doing so, he must not abandon the hard—won achievements and fiscal responsibilities. the usp of any conservative government. last week, i called on the leadership candidates to pledge at the very least, to keep our national debt falling and adjusted borrowing below 296 gdp falling and adjusted borrowing below 2% gdp for at least the next two yea rs. 2% gdp for at least the next two years. neither of the two remaining candidates have yet signed up to that pledge. but despite my media persona , that pledge. but despite my media persona, i am an eternal optimist so i reiterate that call tonight. because, accepting that pledge does not mean that there will be no extra money to spend. as a set of the spring statement, if we leave the eu

ina spring statement, if we leave the eu in a smooth and orderly way. the fiscal headroom means that an incoming prime minister will have scope for additional spending or tax cuts and there is a caveat. a damaging no—deal brexit would cause short—term disruption to our economy, soaking up all of the fiscal headroom and more and while fiscal headroom and more and while fiscal and monetary policy interventions could help to smooth path to a post no—deal brexit economy, both could only be temporary and neither could prevent the economy from being permanently smaller than if we leave for the deal. so there is a choice. either we leave is no deal or we preserve our future fiscal space. we cannot do both. the truth is, despite our somewhat hawkish reputation, i signalled in 2016 from where a balanced approach to the finances,

recognising the need to invest in our future, recognising the need to invest in ourfuture, support recognising the need to invest in our future, support our public services and keep taxes down as well as controlling the deficit and starting to reduce the debt. and as the public finances have improved, i have committed over hundred £50 billion of new spending in the last three years. including an nhs settlement, which is the single largest commitment ever made by a peacetime british governor. public capital investment is set to reach the highest sustained level in a0 yea rs the highest sustained level in a0 years as the highest sustained level in a0 yea rs as we the highest sustained level in a0 years as we build the critical national infrastructure, we need to raise our productivity. i have committed £aa billion to housing, delivering more new homes last year and all but one of the last 30 yea rs. and all but one of the last 30 years. and i have cut taxes with over 30 million people seeing their income tax bills go down this year.

288,000 people benefiting so far from the abolition of stamp duty for first—time buyers and british businesses paying the lowest corporation tax rate in the g20. all while seeing our national debt falling sustainably for the first time ina falling sustainably for the first time in a generation. and the employment rate at a record high and unemployment at a a0 year low. all good stuff. but all at risk if we don't get brexit right. and their are some immutable truths that will continue to shape the brexit debate over the coming months, no matter who is leader of the tory party. first, unless there is a general election, the parliamentary arithmetic will not change. parliament will not allow no deal and on the evidence so far, parliament will not support the only deal that is on the table. secondly,

the european union will not renegotiate the deal. and thirdly, the irish question, with that, the backstop, will not go away. it may be that i am wrong in a new leader will persuade parliament to accept the deal it has already rejected three times or that the european union does a 180 degrees u—turn and reopens the withdrawal agreement. but if i am not and the deal the current pm has negotiated terms are to be the best deal possible and parliament continues to reject both it and no deal, then the question to the candidate is not what is your plan, but what is your plan b? because if your plan a is undeliverable, not having a plan b is not having a plan at all. so the candidates need to be honest with

the public, they need to recognise and address the difficult trade—offs inherent in delivering brexit. how will they balance protecting the economy and delivered the referendum decision? how would they manage a no—deal brexit when most of the levers to do so or in the hands of the eu? the candidates need realistic strategies for taking the uk economy out of the holding pattern in which it has been stuck for the last nine months and plan to get safely on the runway marked prosperity brexit. because we cannot allow ourselves to be forced to choose between our democracy and our prosperity. and if the new prime minister cannot end the deadlock in parliament, then he will have to explore other democratic mechanisms to break the impasse. because if he fails, hisjob will be on

to break the impasse. because if he fails, his job will be on the line and so too will be the jobs and prosperity of millions of our fellow citizens. but one thing is clear, whatever happens with brexit, financial services will remain one of our largest and most important industries. ten years on from the crisis and in the midst of the brexit debate, we need to articulate a vision for the future of our financial services industry and a plan for delivering it that will boost london's position as the world plus plus biggest international financial centre. this sector has travelled a long way since the crisis, with wholesale reform of credential and conduct regulation, higher capital requirements and more robust resolution regimes. and now it is overshadowed by brexit. we know he must resolve our future

relationship with the eu for our financial services and businesses to thrive. the financial service industry was the first to make the case for a transition period and it was the first to move decisively to prepare for the risk of no deal. government has responded through our temporary permissions regimes, technical dialogues between the bank of england and the ecb and the on showing of eu regulation and the political declaration jointly committed to and outline future financial services relationship which avoids falling back on existing and largely untested equivalents regimes. that was philip hammond, the chancellor speaking at the mansion house speech, which was disrupted by climate change protesters which forced them to halt his speech for several minutes,

there was a group of them that got into the venue. women wearing red dresses with the sashes with the words climate change were seen there in the hall, shouting their protests and philip hammond was held up for some time he went on to say that the uk had committed to zero carbon economy by 2050 and has been highly critical of the prospect of a no—deal brexit. let'sjoin critical of the prospect of a no—deal brexit. let's join outside source. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. live from brussels with the latest eu summit, our lead story comes from westminster because borisjohnson and jeremy hunt are battling it out to be the next uk prime minister and michael gove missed out by two votes. let's turn to some the main

stress and bbc world service. receiving an enthusiastic welcome and north korea. there with kim jong—un, the first time a chinese leader has been there in 1a years. the missile programmes were discussed we are told. in vietnam, a task force is been created to figure out how to maintain the body of its revolutionary hero. the body was embalmed and still on display, but hits condition has deteriorated. —— it's. dying after falling from a building in paris, one half of the french group that has worked with bands including phoenix, france ferdinand and the beastie boys. if you're watching on the bbc news channel, joining us a little bit later than those on brought news, we turn back to european politics and

westminster politics in a few minutes, bo will spend a few minutes talking about tensions between the us and iran because they have escalated again. iran shut down the us military drone in the past hour it has released these pictures which say is footage of that incident earlier on today. we know this happened close to the straight, we talk about that a lot, a major trading route for the oil industry and those were two oil tankers were attacked. they blame it on iran and iran denies it. but both sides have confirmed that the drone was shot down bullet the dispute is the precise location. the iranians say that it violated their airspace, but you can see marked on the map, they also say it took off in the uae. americans argue that it was over international waters. president

trump tweeted that iran has made a big mistake and spoke of this earlier too. this drum was an international water, it is documented scientifically and they made a very bad mistake. you'll find out. you will find out. in the same press co nfe re nce out. you will find out. in the same press conference he also said that he could have been the result of human error. the foreign minister has taken to twitter as well as saying that we take this new aggression to the un ensure that the us is lying about international waters. the middle eastern correspondent tom bailey. this was one of the most advanced surveillance drones in the world operated by the united states military. a huge unmanned aerial vehicle which is the equivalent of a 7a7 vehicle which is the equivalent of a 747 jet vehicle which is the equivalent of a

7a7 jet was shot down by the iranians, both sites and said but the context of this is iran's dire economic situation and trying to get the europeans to try and engage with the europeans to try and engage with the financial mechanism that it hopes would help alleviate the american sanctions that were put backin american sanctions that were put back in place of the americans pulled out of the us nuclear deal last year. saudi arabia is relative to the story, the main regional rival and those attacks on the tankers, it is been clearfrom rival and those attacks on the tankers, it is been clear from the start that he blames the iranians in the foreign minister has been speaking to the bbc. we cannot allow iran to threaten the freedom of navigation in one of the most critical passages which is in the gulf region. we are consulting with her friends gulf region. we are consulting with herfriends and gulf region. we are consulting with her friends and allies to see what steps her friends and allies to see what ste ps ca n her friends and allies to see what steps can be taken we are trying to send a message very steps can be taken we are trying to send a message very clearly that this behaviour is not acceptable and

must stop. the bbc state department correspondent, here are the responses from washington. they were both briefed on the hill and will come to the white house shortly for a class five briefing which donald trump will attend. we have not heard anything particular, donald trump is quite evasive and he said you will see what happens. and he says, let's see what happens. and he says, let's see what happens. if this will all work out. we are waiting to find out what that means, certainly the pentagon has sent a lot of military hardware to the golf saying that it isa hardware to the golf saying that it is a deterrent to respond to attacks on us interests, us targets. as a drum qualify. donald trump said it would've made a big difference it was a mandate drone. will be live in

westminster and three minutes' time. see you then. hello there. gundry downpours have been a significant feature across the weather in recent days and once won't stop until you get some pretty intense showers for longer spells of rain to the south of the great la kes, rain to the south of the great lakes, through the ohio valley through the appellations and moving their way into the eastern seaboard. they be some very heavy rainfall across parts of eastern canada and some torrential gundry downpours with a large hail not out of the question, all the way down into atla nta, question, all the way down into atlanta, georgia. behind it some warm building across parts of texas and will see the mid 30s and some heat across the west coast with temperatures into the low 20s, perhaps climbing to the mid—20s to the second half of the weekend in san francisco, very nice indeed.

even once the storms of cleared through, and improving picture as well, as you can see, warming up quite nicely into next week for new york with highs of 28 celsius. we have been talking about the late arrival of the monsoon rains and slightly less intense rainfall but it does look as though the monsoon is going to start to gather its strength and intensify moving its way over the next few days, we'll also see some heavy rain through the bay of bengal in bangladesh and myanmar as well. we still have the heat up to the north but not quite as extreme as it was, but still hot and dry he can see those dark tones across northern india and that to pakistan as well. that heat will obviously abate as it pushes northwards. some pretty intense heat across eastern europe that has been triggering off the downpours, they

have been the story across central parts of europe, the darker areas for that heat is it has been disappointing across the far northwest of the indications that warmth will a arriving to the weekend and we start the risk of some torrential gundry downpours through poland, down into bulgaria, parts of romania and the balkans along with it being fined and settled, perhaps this temperatures will start to climb and in fact, perhaps they will be slightly above the average for the time of year. plenty of talk about across europe at the moment, if you have been keeping an eye on what is been happening, look at what is in store. it does not look as though conditions will improve the showers easing across it was a little bit more sunshine and warmth coming to. that will come as welcome news and if you have been following events this week, you know it has been plagued with some pretty intense gundry downpours here as well.

before the final day, the day sunday spells and warmth.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. brussels has become a second home for us in last two or three years, and we are back here again the latest eu summit. the european union is trying to decide who should get its topjobs. while is trying to decide who should get its top jobs. while that is going on, and westminster we are down to the final two. boris johnson on, and westminster we are down to the final two. borisjohnson has one through to the final round of the contest to be the next uk prime minister. jeremy hunt will take him on. on the underdog in this race and i've been the underdog right from the start and i like to prove people wrong.

well, let's turn to westminster and this ongoing battle to replace theresa may as leader of the conservative party. and become the uk's prime minister. believe it or not this with the fourth and fifth round of voting for conservative mps and it has left us with two contenders, the former foreign secretary boris johnson contenders, the former foreign secretary borisjohnson in the current foreign secretary. they will face conservative party members who over the next few weeks will hold hustings and then there's a vote and the end that when they will select will become the leader of their party and leader of their country. let's bring injonathan blake at westminster. we have had a couple of hours to pick over the numbers, what was the story of this, why did michael gove not quite make it in the end? he and jeremy hunt have been leapfrogging the end? he and jeremy hunt have been lea pfrogging each the end? he and jeremy hunt have been leapfrogging each other in the last two or three rounds of this race and jostling for second place,

because for a long time it has been about who would join borisjohnson, who had the support in the end of more than half of conservative mps in this race to be the new leader of the party and with that the uk's next prime minister. but this morning it was michael gove in second place which just a handful of votes a nd second place which just a handful of votes and in the final round of voting jeremy managed to overtake him again and put into the post with just two votes, narrowly beating for the slimmest of margins, boris johnson's old rival tojoin the slimmest of margins, boris johnson's old rival to join the former foreign secretary in the final two. he is of coursejubilant tonight, seen hugging his wife, cheering, surrounded by supporters as the result was read out. michael's campaign retiring and perhaps licking their wounds, reflecting on what for them has been a difficult last few weeks after he admitted taking cocaine that they

admitted taking cocaine that they admit stalled their momentum in this contest admit stalled their momentum in this co ntest a nd admit stalled their momentum in this contest and perhaps sealed his fate in the end. but trying to appear gracious in defeat. some talk here that there was a bit of things going on you always get that in contests, did borisjohnson on you always get that in contests, did boris johnson supported on you always get that in contests, did borisjohnson supported lender vote to jeremy did borisjohnson supported lender vote tojeremy because they did borisjohnson supported lender vote to jeremy because they thought he was an easier opponent? we will never know because it was a secret ballot and now we know the final two conservative party members will choose between the runaway favourite borisjohnson choose between the runaway favourite boris johnson and the choose between the runaway favourite borisjohnson and the self—confessed underdog jeremy hunt. what will actually happen in the next few weeks in terms of direct contact between the candidates and the voters ? between the candidates and the voters? conservative party members, there's about a of them around the uk, are going to get 16 chances to quiz the candidates and a series of hustings events that are taking place across the uk over the next few weeks. and they will all be live

streamed online as of the tory party members who cannot get to those events will have the chance to see the candidates being quizzed. i think you can expect as well is that some intense campaigning from both candidates up and down the united kingdom because until now it has been a contest very much focused on the westminster bubble, the only votes that mattered with those of tori mps and borisjohnson is run his campaign on the basis of giving them the face time that they want them the face time that they want the reassurances that they wanted to hear and gently persuading them to vote for him. now it's a very different matter as the trade secretary put it earlier on you going to the room to vote as one of 313 mp5 going to the room to vote as one of 313 mps and you come out one of hundred and 60,000. it's a narrow electorate perhaps in terms of their demographics and outlook, they are all conservative party members through and through but it's a very different electorate to that group

of conservative mps. it will be a frantic race i'm sure to win the conservative party leadership, but one which borisjohnson finds himself in tonight will position. that was a journalist for the eu reporter which media organisation that covers the eu, she is based here in brussels. everyone in the uk is trained of the story but it's every twist and turn of the leadership race cutting through over here? certainly being followed with interest, people are listening what they are saying and proposing in relation to the average border and saying all these people we can do business with? will they come up with new solutions? will they move the redlines? and does not look likely at the moment. definitely being watched with interest. there's

an expectation that the new prime minister will come back here and start asking for things. yes, there's one. i'm sure there will be meetings but they have been very clear there will not be opening with the withdrawal agreement and will be willing and leo made it very clear it would be willing to add amendments to the political declaration, the nonbinding part of the agreement. we will talk later in the agreement. we will talk later in the programme. nice to see you for the programme. nice to see you for the moment, let's turn to what is arguably the most central relationship in the decision—making process within the european union. between germany and france. because every major decision taken by the eu has those countries at its centre. you have angela merkel, the german chancellor, cheerleading largest economy and emmanuel macron is demanding, he it commands the largest military and they're also the two most populous countries in

the two most populous countries in the eu as well. a brake that happens there will also be the two biggest contributors to the eu finances as you can see from this graphic. germany contributes more than any other country. on the issue of who could become the next president of the european commission they do not agree. and angela merkel favours the german candidate and he is from the bavarian sister party of her party, but emmanuel macron has not named anyone specifically that he wants, but a number of sources suggest that the bracing negotiator could well be on his short list. let's consider this relationship and how it plays into these decisions, we have ever brussels correspondent and carlene is eightjournalist brussels correspondent and carlene is eight journalist based brussels correspondent and carlene is eightjournalist based here in brussels and they are both here at the moment. good to see you. they don't really agree at all on this do they? they really don't. they have a candidate that they prefer and it's not the same. angela merkel is quite

enthusiastic... she needs to support him for political reasons. here was a symbol of the two parties in germany that made peace with each other and there was a symbol of that she has to support him for internal reasons. she might not be convinced by him but she has to support him. why is the french president not telling us who he wants? he does not wa nt telling us who he wants? he does not want ben fred. because he's the lead candidate for the right—wing party. and his problem with that is that he wa nts to and his problem with that is that he wants to do away with the lead candidate system and that makes man fred the man. it was explained to those watching that we have a system here that when people want to follow and others don't. it's quite confusing. yes and the new party

wa nts to confusing. yes and the new party wants to do with the way with the whole process so that means it has to go. and it will probably be michelle because he did well in the basic negotiations and he is french and a lot more charismatic. but he is not technically running so there other candidates and when you put forward a list of ten candidates they would like to see and the stagger will be one of them and there are a few others we don't know. for people watching a know nothing about him what kind of commission president could he be? he saysis commission president could he be? he says is not a very charismatic guy and has no expense in government. but man fred is a parliamentarian and did his job but man fred is a parliamentarian and did hisjob the last five years pretty well and he won elections. it's difficult to surpass him even

if he's not like he has to explain what he not want the guy who has a relative majority. it's easy to say we don't want him but not easy to get rid of him. to what degree are these arguments of the top jobs proxies of bigger arguments about the future of the european union and how integrated it will become? should be read to pick your battles into these decisions? i'm not entirely sure, but there are several he riffed opening between france and germany. maybe in the shorter term. is there a rift about division in the european union? well, emmanuel macron had a vision that he showed in his speech about two years ago. that was the theory, did not go really well especially in the euro zone and other issues with the germans especially. and that means right now yes he's technically kind

of winning in france he got as many mps as marine but that said he cannot really negotiate without the german and that once again means that he's an impasse. does she have a vision for the eu? she might survive two years more but it's the end of herterm. survive two years more but it's the end of her term. i think he senses there's a time after angela merkel. it's still a battle for him but he is trying to assert himself and play a bigger role and i think this is the way it calculates. at difficulties understanding what he wants and what he wants to get. it's difficult to have an agreement without germany and sooner or later he has to deal with germany. even if he has to deal with germany. even if he doesn't want to. good to see you, thank you for making time. as you

can hear this still plenty of hubbub here because all of those leaders of the members of the european council are having dinner here this evening and could be a long discussion because they don't agree on who should get the top jobs here whenever they emerge and of course you will see the press conference here on bbc world news. and on the bbc news channel as well. in a few minutes we will talk about climate change because it is one of the big issues they've been trying to find an agreement on hearing brussels but they have not managed to. we will dissect why and look at why the big countries like germany and france we re countries like germany and france were not able to get everyone on side. climate change activists have interrupted his speech by the chancellor of the exchequer, fill a speech by the chancellor of the exchequer, philip hammond. he was given the annual mansion house speech in london until the activists that grace to the grown—ups in the room ignored the warning signs and

crash the economy into thousand eight, and that we cannot afford to let them crush the claimant as well. while we have repaired the public finances and rebooted our economy, we have not yet repaired our society and our politics. my approach to brexit has been shaped by the simple observation that no one however passionate their views on europe, voted to be poorer. so a successful brexit in the eyes of the electorate must be a brexit that protects jobs, businesses and living standards. the next prime minister will need to com plete next prime minister will need to complete the post crash recovery process. by rebuilding confidence in our democratic politics and market economy and demonstrating that it is capable of delivering an economy that works for everyone, where competition delivers for consumers and businesses are sustainable and reflect the values of the next generation, and where productivity

enhancing technology delivers better jobs and real wage raises workers as well as profits for investors. but in doing so he was not abandoned the ha rd in doing so he was not abandoned the hard won achievements of fiscal responsibility. the usp of any credible conservative government. last week, i called on the leadership candidates to pledge at the very least to keep our national debt following and to keep adjusted borrowing below percent of gdp for at least the next two years. neither of the two remaining candidates has yet signed up. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. we are live at the eu summit. boris

johnsonjeremy johnson jeremy hunt will johnsonjeremy hunt will battle it out to be the next uk prime minister, the environment minister missed out by just minister, the environment minister missed out byjust to votes. the president of china has received an enthusiastic welcome and north korea. the first time a chinese leader has been there in a0 years. the nuclear missile programmes were discussed we were told. in vietnam the special task force being created to look at how to maintain the body of its revolutionary hero, the bodies involved or you can still see it on display but its has deteriorated. many of you have been reading about the untimely death of the french dj and producer philip who fell from a building in paris, one half of the french group cassius and worked with bands including

phoenix, france ferdinand and the beastie boys. at this eu summit the european council is working to adopt what is called a strategic agenda. this is essentially a list of priorities for the eu of the next five years, he will be surprised to know that one of them is climate change. as for the development this evening that would disappoint some people here. it was to agree for the whole of the you to become carbon neutral by 2050 has not got unanimous support. the goal we are told is being moved to a footnote in the final summit statement that footnote will read for a large majority of members, climate neutrality must be achieved by 2050. bearin neutrality must be achieved by 2050. bear in mind greenpeace has not been oppressed by the general approach and they said they had a chance to turn away from claimant breakdown down the greenpeace says they blew it. while the main opposition came

from poland, hungary and the czech republic let's hear again from the check mp. he's a leading speaker the euro sceptic block in european element. here's what he does not support that. i have serious doubts whether this is achievable because of course if you make a political declaration is the easiest way to do the tough thing is to fulfil that. i can only remind all 11 countries of central and eastern europe, no mvp was elected to the european parliament from the green party. a little bit different view between western europe and eastern europe. does that mean that people in those countries don't care about climate change? they care, but they are afraid if they are done in an unsustainable way it could damage the economies. the phasing out in terms of power plants and opinions of central and eastern europe should

be more sustainable. with the european union offered for their economic support to counterbalance any economic hit i came from climate change? that would be nice. i think would be welcome but also one thing that would be welcome if the nuclear energy is also included into the zero carbon mix which is unfortunate is still not the case. he was a different perspective, president of the greens in the european parliament. it's very important that we get a fundamental change we have climate protection and a social era and we care but the fundamental rights of people like refugees but also on the rule of law and many member states. they want a commitment to be carbon neutral, but it's far from clear if enough countries will sign up. what is your feeling of where we are with that? there's been a momentum behind the

2050 date and it's really important to have that as the target for when the european union will be climate neutral but not the only thing that's important because in order to achieve that target you to do things in between and cannotjust achieve that target you to do things in between and cannot just watch and hope that 2050 and miraculously will be solved. we need to have concrete measures that now the earlier we start the better. i'm being told the other options will be to give money to countries that have concerns about this and i spoke to a czech republic politician and the said that they were too worried about the impact they could have the economy. published people said the same thing. would you offerforms published people said the same thing. would you offer forms of economic competition?” thing. would you offer forms of economic competition? i think it's important but it matters for what it will be done. it would look at the coal mining area are the poorest areas no matter which european member state they are in. it's important to support the regions that are going to be most hit by a

tradition but the question is what you do with that? are you going to create a new economic orjust expanded on stuff that's not going to help the regents at all? let's talk about how you implement targets. germany keeps setting impressive targets but missing them. looking countries do that they are not doing now to give themselves a better chance? 0therwise these targets don't have a great deal of value. the government has been failing to implement any targets on the climate protection. as a big problem because while it's very nice to have targets in place you need to keep them up at the measures in place if you can agree on targets sometime far in the future that's not enough, you need to decide what we are going to do now there's a lot of things we need to do. the good thing is we know what to do, science has been telling us there's been a lot of proposals and will need to have the political will and a

majority to put that into place. you're one the candidates to take over from you're one the candidates to take overfrom jean—claude, you're one the candidates to take over from jean—claude, do you think you have a chance based on the conversations happening? we greens have been doing very well in the elections, but i would say that maybe the president is not the one that we are going to necessarily get with over 10% of the european parliament even though we are very happy about our support from the uk. we set out to do is real change in the policies. still with me are a jewellers for the ear reporter and a french journalist based here jewellers for the ear reporter and a frenchjournalist based here in brussels. 0n election night the phone was saying this is a green wave in the eu would have to listen. this was their first chance to make a statement and it has not gone to plan. i think there will be a lot of very disappointed people that was a very disappointed people that was a very clear sign from the european parliament, like you said 73 huge

results and yet that has not translated into powerful statement. a lot of disappointments but it would give the parliament a bit more impetus in putting together their programme and saying we are now dictating those terms and want it stronger and a green or a gender. dictating those terms and want it stronger and a green or a genderlj agree and it depends on who gets to lead the parliament because if it is the leading candidate for the greens who is one of the names who has been rumoured to become the next president of the parliament that could be a way forward in the green wave could start a bit later. that said, there's a lot of disappointment and especially for the younger generation who i'm sure is listening everyone is going to be very disappointed that the first message they send is very pessimistic. how does this work in brussels? poland is the big coal industry and worrying about

commitments damaging their economy. at the moment germany and france are not able to exert enough pressure to get poland on side. and his bad news but at the same time what they've made very clear is that they are going to respect the commitments they made in the paris agreement, so i think we are looking in a temporary impasse and ultimately forward to my convinced them is money. the european investment banks and understanding that they have a huge challenge and we heard from an mpp and saying there's money in the table, but is there? could be. the other problem though is there's not just money, it's time. we are seeing today that we might disappear in a few years if we do notjust today that we might disappear in a few years if we do not just act.

today that we might disappear in a few years if we do notjust act. the time me find the money on the incentive to act it will be too late. there will be time for everyone. before you finish, aside from climate change will policy area would you pick out as being significant at the european union is looking to focus on now that we see this draft statement? the one that is not in there. rule of law. it will be the most difficult issue. big clashes with poland about that. migration, need to find an actual proper and humane answer. fascinating examples to pick out because on the issue of rule of law and the issue of immigration, and theissue and the issue of immigration, and the issue of climate change the most powerful people in the european union speak with one voice, but the whole of the european union does not. it is still wrestling with finding common policies on those challenges and others. the summit continues tomorrow and will be live

on the bbc news channel, but from all of us here in brussels and london goodbye. hello again, some big changes taking place in our weather over the next few days. hard to believe we are heading into the third week ofjune and yet this is the first area of high pressure we have seen so far this month on our weather chances. this that will bring many of us at least a couple of dried dates. for friday much of england and wales and much of northern ireland should enjoy dry weather with spells of sunshine. some central area of scotla nd of sunshine. some central area of scotland to put across the north west of scotland we will continue to feed and a few passing showers and sunny spells between will stay quite breezy. temperatures in the best of thejune breezy. temperatures in the best of the june sunshine breezy. temperatures in the best of thejune sunshine between and 20 celsius should feel quite pleasant and once established a area of high pressure will continue to drift northeast into the start of the

weekend. more of us enjoying more of the way of dry and sunny weather. quite a bit of sunshine for england and wales is a go through saturday and wales is a go through saturday and it will be areas of high cloud around the sunshine is likely to be pretty hazy at times or perhaps a few showers at temperatures between 16 and 21 celsius. it starts to get warmer and more human across southern parts of england and wales as we drag in a southeast flow of wind. this area of low pressure a bit of a spanner in the works during the day. for most of sunday if the dry morning with some hazy spells of sunshine feeling quite warm and later on we will start to see thuggery rent arriving and feeling increasingly humid and getting warmer with temperatures pushing onto the mid—20s. at the met office haveissued onto the mid—20s. at the met office have issued a weather warning for thunderstorms to affect parts of england and wales through sunday and monday. 20 to a0 mm of rain in the

forecast and places in the room coming down bringing risks of localised flooding. 0nce coming down bringing risks of localised flooding. once it has broken out it will drift north probably overnight and into monday as well. there could be heavy downpours around and perhaps more thunderstorms with humid spells of sunshine and temperatures as well potentially getting into the 80s in terms of fahrenheit and it is the heat is not that widespread were generally we are seeing those temperatures in the high teens. we'll probably see another pulse of warm aircoming up we'll probably see another pulse of warm air coming up from the near continent and we can see thunderstorms around and some of those to be torrential in nature but exactly where the heaviest rain will be is still opening to uncertainty. those temperatures reaching up to 29 celsius although it will be getting warmer as well for the north. now into the rest of the week ahead

dominated by this block in the jet strea m dominated by this block in the jet stream can we get this area of low pressure that will become very slow moving to the southwest and that becomes the major player with our weather is next week. because that would be mixing in some cooler atla ntic would be mixing in some cooler atlantic air with pulses of hot and humid air occasionally coming up from the near continent. though hot and humid for some of us there will be the ongoing threat of some storms. this is what we have got to next weeks, very warm and hot weather if you quite humid at times but torrential thunder he downpours. that really does pose the risk of localised flooding given all of the wet weather we had last week. that's your latest forecast, goodbye for now.
