on future with laws being made in our parliament and not through the anti democratic procedures of the e.u. and that will go ahead so that we get the benefits of being the independent country that we all voted for we need to be freed to improve our labor laws worker's rights our environment and animal welfare standards and to invest money where we choose in our public services for example and not be subject to state. the greatest opportunities for trade expansion now i live beyond the european union that we want to continue trading freely with the other twenty seven countries too. any suggestion that really we renege on our commitments now i would mean following the e.u. on its in evitable path to ever closer union and this is precisely what the british people rejected last year leaving the e.u. will allow us to become a proud global country internationalist in outlook and building our links with the
1:31 pm
commonwealth this is the time to recognize that the interests of the country are best served by coming together to show the european union that there is no going back we are determined to forge ahead being part of europe but not members of a club which every year has a shrinking share of the world's economic growth let's just get on with it. but was very optimistic but isn't it the case that breaks it is going off the rails i don't think it is i think a lot of people would like it to be going off the rail and are working to get it to go off the rails but actually you know when in terms of people having voted last year if you talk to many of those people i've been up in the north again up north of england very very few people in fact nobody i've met has actually changed their minds what we are seeing and i think it's very important to remember there's a kind of bubble here in westminster and in london which of course was very very
1:32 pm
poor me and and i believe that the negotiations you know are always were always going to be difficult to be made even more difficult because the e.u. itself seems to be wanting to make things as difficult as possible and the media and everybody who's who was a remainer wants to be in the government as if it's always their fault whereas i tend to look at being the e.u. for not actually wanting to move things on but also real problems with the brics that will is no over forty billion and totally the economic growth. of disasters the irish problem the border problem groups and tractable islam otunnu over those breaks argument is a. trouble well there are lots of lots of problems there are always going to be short term difficulties i mean this is a long term process process remember we were in the european union we joined it back in one nine hundred seventy four the common market it took a long time to get to this stage you know i'm not suggesting it's going to take all those years to get things really wonderful the border issue is
1:33 pm
a meaningless thing can be can be worked out in between northern ireland and the republic of ireland we've settled i think almost completely the european union citizens in this country and the money you know it's not going to be given not a penny until we've got a deal if we don't get a deal i'm not sure we'll be paying very much money and i wouldn't want to pay any money that's not actually owed i mean i'm all for keeping my legal our country's legal responsibilities but i want to see dot com of exactly why they're asking us for all this money because bulls johnston famously who's a leader you could whistle for them only know the been offered forty billion. in the u.k. to do show we don't actually know that it's forty billion i personally would've been much more reluctant to give anything as i said i haven't seen the detail of what they're asking us for i mean i've always said we're going to have to pay for the pensions presumably. peter mandelson and people like that all those e.u. commissioner is that we have huge salaries and we have to pay for that but i don't
1:34 pm
see why we should be paying anything other we certainly should not be paying a penny just to get the e.u. to start talking about three minutes it's i think the people of the all the others are very european union countries if they were being given the right information would find it quite shocking that their leaders and particularly e.u. commission who in syria are acting on behalf of the leaders are behaving in such a negative way when it's in their interests to get as good a deal as possible with the united kingdom in a cell last so much more than we sell to them we were both in parliament to march of this year it was. must of the joy to the commons vote to vote after fifty you voted for i voted against the. parliamentary with motives starting to change that your party the liberal party edging away from the brits and position well i think you were very principled people like you who voted against it there were
1:35 pm
a lot of people who voted for it for all sorts of with gritted teeth but there was a huge majority and parliament has decided to can focus article fifty or leaving now in two years time march two thousand and nineteen. there is no data by there's a majority in parliament who voted to remain so there is a shift i think of reality but that doesn't mean to say that there's not still a lot of people in parliament who would love to record there with a single market to really. be a look so to book compromise with what was so bad a lot of because we voted to take back control of our borders and the european union had the opportunity when cameron was doing his faith negotiations to actually make some real changes and they didn't want to do that and you know the train has moved on we passed that now i we can't stay in the internal market that was always absolutely said even by david cameron and george osborne who said very clearly if you leave and vote to leave you would be leaving
1:36 pm
a single market the customs union staying in the customs union wouldn't allow us to have that freedom which i think is a great country united kingdom has an eye to reach out to the rest of the world and to really get trade going in areas that we can negotiate much more quickly than we would with twenty seven other countries but that doesn't say we don't want to be good friends with the e.u. and trade with them and the germans still want to sell us their cars and we want their wine and all of those kinds of things but we have to bottom line is you know i put the country first before the overall position of the european union in many of your fellow blokes for two years of the city. vision of the u.k. becoming a sort of singapore but the singapore small country in a large trading area called to see you the u.k. is a medium sized country and the deal has been fixed at all just because a lot of us and different parties voted to leave and work together doesn't mean to say we accept their view of what we will look like in twenty years time having left
1:37 pm
the european union i very much don't want to see us go die in the route of being completely you know i kind of liberal agenda that's one of the reasons i was against the the european union because i did think that it saw everything in a very global way which we should be able to as the united kingdom make our own decisions and there are so many things that we can really do you know if jeremy corbyn was in par at the moment there would be and we were in the european union there are so many things that are in our manifesto whether you agree with everything that was in the manifesto and or think it was feasible that we couldn't do why were members of the european union finally. under them convinced breaks a two year in other means certain fighting your corner of success was so far march two thousand and nineteen do you think it's you case that one of the do oh absolutely i've really cannot see our country reneging in oh they'll go on a bike chaos and i think alice to cumber went on about chaos and how it was all
1:38 pm
dreadful it's in the interest of those who want to stay to make things as difficult as pessimistic as possible i'm an optimist the people have said let's get on with it let's make it work and i think in ten years time we'll look back and say thank goodness we made that decision in june two thousand and fifteen but. you get a quicker for loving top a good one to host of campbell who of course is strictly temperance that you have the same mind well i'm sure that we can find some some nice irish. irish liquid to put in the well though it's only skull should not. well i'll just for you thank you thank you. coming up after the break we have a special report from tasmania and will be hosting a big between two members of the house of commons international trade select committee they are vastly different views on the impact of brecht's on the key issue of trade so you sir.
1:39 pm
they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot. useful expressing my opinion there's two things most doing it this record is a simple strategy we attack person instead of talking about what's next why stop me from getting this close to the white house i'm with you. why not ban the color pink one hour stretch i should be sent to the town of london because i'm a traitor break me on the wheel a long time that this will be don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out good company i'm in good company. because we'll think.
1:40 pm
elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fiddlesticks mission to do it look like you know that this isn't my cup of tea is going up up the study hall maybe you know chalk it up just hoping. the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is of those who in the world under the oak vision they're not going to give this up. and the earth is a lot at that age to have this lady of the muscle that you had i'm going to continue in the doesn't seem to do more in the middle sauce but there's also. the loss selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken
1:41 pm
hawks forcing you to fight the battles but still. the new socks credit tell you that it's not because of the public but i shall for the most important day. off the bat as i'm telling you i'm not cool enough and let's not buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. so now corporations are left you taxes on on people no taxes without representation worthwhile representation amazon stock and last i get a commensurate share of amazon start to participate in the growth of this corporate takeover i'm under no obligation to fulfill this jihad function based.
1:42 pm
welcome back i'm dramatic developments over the last week so i'm in the presidency and the future i'm more controversial tweets from donald trump himself does mean ahmed shaykh has been examining the way to stay relevant on friday the first of december michael flynn president trump's former national security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about conversations with russia's ambassador and also to schools that he is not cooperating with a special kind source office mr flynn thus becomes a first person from president trump's administration to admit to breaking the law in special counsel robert miller's investigation into alleged interference in the two thousand and sixteen united states elections by the russian federation according to a statement released by the f.b.i. michael flynn was in communication with that then version of baster to the united states so. the statement goes on to explain that this was at the request of a senior trump transition official to find out the position of foreign governments
1:43 pm
on the topic of israel ahead of a un security council resolution. although prosecutors did not identify by name any transition officials c.n.n. reported that a source believes the official to be chaired commissioner president trump son in law and senior advisor and in the last few days you support suggest that deutsche bank which is what closely with the trump organization for decades has been subpoenaed by mueller to hand over records of accounts held by mr trump at the bank it is not clear yet what all this means for mr trump and his presidency however this represents one of the most significant steps so far and suggests that investigation is escalating the coming weeks word of deal more so joins with impeachment really going to happen to twelve years old well of course it's a process in the verdict we have to wait and see what happens and has lots of experts talking about it at the moment it is interesting ten certainly the united states of america. who was the last to be impeached.
1:44 pm
now i think you know i know this because my work around impeaching twenty blair and it was over ten you didn't ask for good work you run scotland for the younger but what of the actual chances of an impeachment process taking place even if the very it is unlikely to go against the president i mean it's hard to see just now obviously this lots of talk around and of course involvement of krishna and it is well mix more that more and more difficult for the white house to deal with it however we don't have any control over what goes on in the states more interestingly from the u.k. perspective i think is the strength of feeling around donald trump's latest retreating of a hard road you wanted to ban them well yes i'm not and i wasn't and i'm not alone anymore alex about that was a couple of years ago when we first had a debate in the commons about it and that's because he wanted to bang with things like me from entering the united states the america he still wants to do so in terms of refugees but the strength of feeling around his attitude where we have
1:45 pm
some level of control i who can enter our country is upsetting people quickly so even the president here is you still see i don't think it's possible to ban the office of the president of the united states of america i think the question is is appropriate that donald trump come to the u.k. on a state visit and i think the stricter feeling in the mean around the country is that would be the most inappropriate thing for him to do at this point in time to smear thanks very much i think. the westminster government doesn't even go into the starting stalls to discuss possible exit trade arrangements with the european union the house of commons the international trade select committee has been hard at work sixty have been called over twenty evidence. but has always psyched over to lead to you might have you on the committee here to discuss this with me a committee chair the s.n.p. senior member of parliament i've just been a big deal the member from here in the new year and committee member nigel evans the member for rebel valley welcome gentleman or i just met neil firstly. did i get
1:46 pm
the pronunciation of your constituency in the who were there near correct healing absolute correct elegant unlike court nigel might see the bottle of elevators not to the same place as the. team ever the sessions a huge number of witnesses you chain of the committee what's been you conclusions us far or you can head to a situation where it's going to recently bought a house with twenty seven of its closest partners not content with doing that there's another forty agreements which cover sixty seven countries as there would be reason three bodies with the burden ninety four countries in talks and usually written lording body there's country and country or whatever certainly no reason but it was ninety four which is a bit more than half the the number of countries in the w.t. uses questacon undertake in the u.k. here is is a endeavoring at the moment and i'm sure there are many people who wish them well because it's highly contagious ministers as they might say in
1:47 pm
a certain program of the b.b.c. at one time the last will say yes prime minister and i mean it just meant you were up the clique with a paddle holy could you just make us your head over the cliff and over that transition deal has been termed as the as a cliff edge with a plank at the end of it and in other words we will reach the edge and fall if things carry on as they are i think the transition deal they're talking about a year to make should be something where between two and two hundred years i have no difficulty pronouncing rubble violent but you have the face of this committee you've built the same evidence sessions of have from the same witnesses but you've got a different view from your chairman i clinically optimistic about where we are going to be when we leave the european union and angus is full of gloom and doom but me i can't wait for it to happen and i really do believe that the united kingdom is going to do incredibly well on these trade talks that we're talking about when we leave in two thousand and nineteen then liam fox will be able to start those
1:48 pm
negotiations in earnest with a new. number of countries those that we already have got trade deals with as part of the european union we may be able to rollover or indeed roll over with some nuances and changes and then for others we can like the united states of america where it all broke down with the european union we can start to have that trade deal with donald trump but don't you in capsulated the problem you say that the natural cleared say we can start doing these deals at twenty one thousand we all know that international trade deals take time and best to take either sometimes or take decades and sometimes as you rightly point out the don't work at all so isn't the risk of a i hate us a gap between coming over the single market and securing these other trade deals that liam fox is working well for a number of countries we already have trade arrangements through the european union so should be relatively easy as i said to roll those over with nuances to establish in sixty seven countries those sorts of trade deals but let's take the united
1:49 pm
states i mean actually laugh a few run ins with the door of the of the but one thing i would give him he's normally negotiator if he's got the whip hand you can end up in the wrong side of the deal don't you think that's a danger in two thousand and twelve i went to mar a lago and i spoke with donald trump for the cue for the carving knife it could be well you know for the first half hour of discussions it was all about you as alexander alexander was a take hold that the conversation was all about examined. but nonetheless i wonder why our relationship when. i spoke up but the reality is that even despite donald trump saying america first and the united kingdom government quite clearly should be talking about britain first i've got a cheese producer in the report valley small in a small town itself six million pounds worth of cheese to the united states of america without a trade deal if we're able to do that now what are we able to do post some sort of
1:50 pm
trade deal with the united states of america we've got to engage with obama we were at the back of a queue. now with donald trump we're at the front of the dangers. in this relationship and this nuclear deal will for america what could be wrong but what nigel's think that a huge three day huge dangers and i think one of the things at the bottom i don't think you can get it to go up domestic but the danger to optimism is greater knowledge i think it's maybe best encapsulated there would small study from the south korea deal clearly didn't need fifty one percent of it fifty five percent of rules of origin for automotive to be experts export into korea and that's achievable in an e.u. white context is not going to achieve a bill in a u.k. context he can't simply cut and paste so the optimism tends to feed the further you delve and the more you see in all these trade agreements going forward and they're in or i wished i could be as optimistic as natal but i can't put it with realism and force but don't you have croft of the west of violence or what is it about
1:51 pm
having to compete with hormone injected be absolutely and also what ian boat trade barriers going off to the main mark at the moment the european continent as well as customs checks one thing that's not really touched a bit is the actual process of doing all this at the moment yuki. says about thirty million customs checks a year its reason their capacity increased one hundred million customs chasing it but it's actually going to need to do about three hundred ten the thirty million customs sexier which means as we know from dover loisa processed in every two minutes if and even do that alone to go from two months to four minutes that equals a seventeen kilometer tailback on the way to the pool to do what type of evidence you're optimistic we have chairman is a bit less so low in the whole vocabulary. you look at the contrast between your committee will probably have a point of view you're charging on interviewing witnesses trying to establish the facts that the government will have to go to go she says they have not even in the starting stalls they haven't got past the politically negotiations with the
1:52 pm
european union don't you see that as a difficult we know that. for the first two years on the transition we will still be paying him to be members of the european union as if we were although we will be outside so that gives us access to the single market during that period of time and then in two thousand and twenty one that will change to whatever the new relationship happens to be so we've got this little bit of wiggle room which i'm quite happy with i know because would like it to be two hundred years but that's not going to happen all of this started in june twenty sixth by march twenty seventh in the prime minister triggered article fifty eight she seemed eventually to go to do it after those nine months and then three weeks later she said of a general election which the government didn't get going again probably to september but then of september she went to florida since it was two years a target of twenty six months ago couldn't over to your extension of that she didn't get that she would have to have lunch with younger this doesn't seem to be to be a government that fills me with confidence that they know what the doing from one day to the next far less than one week to the next one year to the next one month
1:53 pm
or the next this is a government that's really feeling in the dark surely nigel the great differences within the conservative party as terms of the direction even among black city as a miller was born as johnson has said the you could request or for the money now it seems to be accepted that the bill is fifty billion mounting what do you say about the conservative party are the coherent on this issue certainly more coherent than the labor party that's for certain at least we're keeping the consistent approach that we're leaving the european union when the foreign secretary boris johnson talked about whistling in the wind it was when they were asking for one hundred billion we certainly weren't going to be paying that sort of sums of money what we're doing a few billion seems quite a big quest all the world well you know it's what legal obligations and that's what the reason may set in in the florence speech that you made is that we there is a certain sum of money for the transitional period and then there's our legal obligations we're not going to be paying any ransom money i would be totally opposed to that we're not going to be playing center to brussels and scrooge to
1:54 pm
britain that's not going to happen and i'm quite content with the approach that's been taken. very seasonal messages i was chairman of the international trade committee nigel evans vice chairman of the international committee i'm delighted to see a commune one on one thing and this is the special queen of which you'll be familiar with angus but how do you slay the lesser so whisky in the i'm not where stuff scotch of. course friends and then you can agree that claims that the sticks are not the water of life is the reason we don't want to make it that we're here like yours thank you thank you. but that's the view of two m.p.'s of the chair and vase g.l. of a parliamentary select committee but no meeting of minds on the complexity which breaks opposes to international trade and this this week shenanigans in brussels demonstrate we have not even reached the point of starting the vital cleared negotiations this is my view i admired the supreme confidence of the black city as
1:55 pm
well it did nigel evans of the everything will be all right in the night but as robert burns said facts of chills. and the fact is that the only reason britain is near the gleeman on the backs of bill is that the u.k. negotiators of caved in totally to brussels demands the fact is that we have made agreement on your citizenship only because once again the brussels view has prevailed the fact is that the irish border has no stalemate negotiations because it's the first issue where the u.k. negotiators have been unable to unilaterally surrender they are stuck in no man's land between the interests of european commission with whom they need agreement and the prejudices of the democratic unionist from whom they need support the prime minister is just between a rock and some real hard cases. i previously said the archangel gabriel would have found tough to play the black sand well and david davis is not imbued with divine
1:56 pm
purpose haven't also taken it prime minister with the artifice of a harold wilson of the mental agility of a lloyd george who went through with any measure of success to these or me has neither she is instead the most poorly equipped prime minister of modern times petrified like some poor wee dear caught in the headlights of the blacks that juggernaut the masses to tory m.p.'s this weekend go back to your constituencies and prepare for father bracks the humiliation. and so if i'm tas the team i me it's goodbye for now. so you. know the coalition that it has been has been basically destroying
