political stage the shock waves could be felt in europe e.u. leaders said that her resignation did nothing to change the e.u.'s position on the brics it withdrawal deal already agreed but the withdrawal agreement is not up for i don't think the u.k. wants or the question will be we're going to go to the political declaration. very very much an offer which is also the basis of all the talks in the resort agreement was close the e.u.'s chief negotiator michel barnier quickly showed his positive regard for the pm in a tweet expressing his full respect for may's determination and for working for an orderly withdrawal from the e.u. but some tories were almost as quick to throw their hats into the ring to lead the party. booting front runner boris johnson who wasted no time in saying no deal was a possibility in october some reacted to that in consternation not to how things could now play out. but if they're still under then circumstances are

president donald trump has arrived in japan for a state visit trump set to spend 4 days in the country to cement bilateral ties that make the japan japan's prime minister and business leaders and attend a dinner at the imperial palace where he'll be the 1st state guest of japan's new emperor his visit comes against the backdrop of increasing tensions with china and north korea. correspondent michael penn's in tokyo and he joins me now michael donald trump's already addressed business leaders what was his main message to them . well his main message is that is to repeat his long term contention that the trade relationship between japan and the united states has long been tilted in favor of japan unfairly and that he's going to be the person to make the trade balance so the trade arrangements between the 2

countries fair which is his contention not that many experts agree that that's the case a similar message to one he's had in other countries and he's changeable to attend the g. 20 summit in osaka in just 6 weeks why this visit to japan now. well this particular visit the timing has everything to do with the the new emperor in japan not a veto. needs to start receiving official guests from overseas and as a symbolic matter both the japanese and the u.s. side would like the u.s. president to be the 1st person to to have one of these official visits as a symbol of the strength of the u.s. japan alliance and from the point of view of prime minister all day he's very much pitching this as a great honor and he's using it to try to flatter the president in part of as part of his long term campaign to keep

a positive relationship between the 2 and he mentioned that strength and prime minister japanese prime minister shinzo have been saying a lot of each other nightly what does that tell us about the relationship between the 2 countries. mainly it tells us that the abbaye administration is desperate to have a very very strong and personal link with donald trump when when donald trump was 1st elected. in the japanese government did their analysis and i said the key to keeping this guy under control to some extent is to flatter him and to make a personal relationship and to get on his good side and that's basically what they have been doing ever since he was elected president states. being courting trump as you say what have they got now what's he gotten out of it you're doing fantastically well well mainly delay whereas trump may have come to office with you

know having the japan high on his list especially in trade issues to go after this is actually turned out to be much slower process so mainly what has gotten out of it is to blunt the force of trump's demands on japan and to kind of keep him at bay for a couple years now hoping that he can ride out the storm through the entire trump presidency michael paine in tokyo thank you very much for that. formula one racing now women say these driver lewis hamilton has won pole position for sunday's monaco grand prix is the 85th time the defending world champion will take the top spot on the starting grid he'll be joined by teammate valtteri bottas in front row red bulls next for stopping qualified 3rd and ferrari's sebastian vettel for. well console festival is where the world's top stars and filmmakers get together to
