boris johnson says his country remains committed to leaving the european union despite a ruling ordering the government to obtain parliamentary approval first. johnson has been meeting today with his german counterpart in berlin assuring him that britain wanted to forge a new relationship with europe. boris johnson had a little fun with his own version of a famous berlin speech. >> ich bien nicht berliner. >> boris johnson striking a friendly tone as he attempts to reassure his german counterpart after an ruling by the high court in london. germany and the eu wanted to begin talks as soon as possible, but those plans may have been disrupted after the british government was told it must have parliamentary consent to trigger article 50. the german foreign minister called for a speedy resolution to the matter. >> we need to create the conditions to start as quickly as possible. even if they require that parliament also be involved. >> after all of the discussions, we need to be clear, a deadlocked situation does not help anybody. johnson said the high court ruling would not delay the proces

boris johnson as well.l from the liberal end of the brexit movement and in the sense that they are all people who for one of the main reasons of ditching brussels was they wanted to think britain could survive very well as a freethinking independent nation. , >> what is the path you can take to assist prime minister may to move the united kingdom forward in their negotiations with brussels and europe? >> clarity of intent. rapidity of execution. identification of both the goal in the timeline would be very helpful. jonathan: the bank of england has cut rates to 0.25 and expanded q.e. by 60 billion pounds. they intend to buy corporate bonds. mark: why would they overdeliver , because it certainly brought out the sledgehammer. >> i think the economic outlook has deteriorated and a central case is that this could be a mild recession type of environment, so it makes sense to act as quickly as possible , and as they have done today to , overdeliver. jonathan: import cost jumping and that is the story in the data

boris johnson was invited to bury the idea. >> people bordering on racist views representing the country in discussions with the united states. >> i'm grateful to my honorable friends, and i think he catches the mood of the house. we already settled that question and we have an excellent ambassador in washington. pickter: david cameron's as ambassador is safe in his job, though not as comfortable. he has been criticized by some by not getting close to the trump team. a former ambassador came to his defense and rubbished the idea of an investor farage. thee need someone who is british man appointed by the british government, not trump's man. a division of loyalty will be impossible. last time i looked, nigel farage an opponent of theresa may. how awkward is this? very awkward, but we have to be polite, firm, and stick to our principles. reporter: it won't be the last diplomatic incident. ladiesnt-elect trump: and gentlemen, mr. nigel farage. reporter: where will nigel farage and up? his friends say he has the next britaint's ear and needs to be on donald trump's good side. >> need to ques

it says brexit supporters, including boris johnson, are sharply at odds with those who are cautious, such as the chancellor of the exchequer, philip hammond. the government says it wasn't aware of the report. >> we don't recognize the document. it is certainly nothing commissioned by government and it's not in keeping with my experience. >> the main opposition party accuses may's government of prioritizing its own interests and failing to make decisions. >>> it's time now to see what's making headlines in business. u.s. government officials have released data that show consumers are spending more. let's go to ai at the business desk. what are you seeing? >> u.s. retail sales are an important piece of economic data. consumption makes up such a big part of the u.s. economy and because people tend to be more confident about their financial situations when they're willing to open up their wallets. in the october data, it beat market expectations. officials at the commerce department say retail sales came in at $465.9 billion, up 0.8% from the month before. the rise is apparently due to i

. >> there are reports out today the british foreign secretary boris johnson cites intelligence reports that it is believed al-baghdadi himself recently fled mosul. >> it's quite possible. if i was him, i would flee, too, because the city and has been surrounded and escaping would become very difficult. he wants to fight another day. they have still fairly large and elsewhere in syria. he may decide to continue to fight by hiding in very small hamlets where you think the coalition forces will not reach him. and he also is going to disguise himself and so on and so forth. >> how important is he as a figurehead, when you compare him to the leadership of al qaeda, for example? we know the group was weekend when it had a much less charismatic leader. do you think he's very important to islamic state? >> he's, to the islamic state, he is very important. laden had bin much more of an international following. because of 9/11, he had made a name for himself far larger than al-baghdadi. so, al-baghdadi has been important to islamic state but not important to the jihadist movement overall because

. >> another brexit supporter and an campaign, boris johnson, also came out today and congratulated donaldrump. he re-tweeted earlier today, congratulations to donald trump and much looking forward to working with his administration on global stability and prosperity. we also of course heard from theresa may who has also congratulated trump. she said we are and will remain strong and close partners on. trade and security. and i look forward to working with president-elect donald trump. but the curiosity here is exactly how this is going to unravel and whether or not we are going to be seeing somewhat of a 180 from the political establishment here in westminster because if we can all remember, just this year we saw mps in the u.k. debating in parliament whether or not to ban donald trump from entering the u.k. following his comments about the muslim community. hate crimes are being inflamed by the words donald trump's using. >> i have had rendered -- never heard of one for stupidity. >> able be curious to see how they reshuffle their opinions following this very shocking and unexpected resu

a few days ago if you asked what boris johnson will do i of 10 verybody outside downing street wouldbeen scratching their head yet he is foreign secretary. >> the new brexit czar david davis. it applies and always been they are all from the liberal the brexit movement and all people who one of the main brussels wastching they wanted to think britain survivor as an independent nation. >> what is the path you can take prime minister may to move the united kingdom forward in their negotiations with and europe? execution, identification of the goal and time line would be very helpful. england cut rules 60 .25 and expanded q.e. by billion pounds. bonds. l by corporate >> why would they overdeliver out the t brought sledgehammer. >> the economic outlook has case orated and a central is it could be a mild recession type of environment so it makes act as quickly as possible and as they have done overdeliver. >> import cost jumping and that is the story in the data this morning. >> unva vasvase -- unsurprising 3.4% and no surprise given what we have seen post the plummeting.ound >> so far thi

british foreign minister boris johnson said, "people should focus on the opportunities and not the problems." johnson said trump has spoken of a spectacular relationship with the uk and wants to sign a free trade deal. president obama said earlier this year that the uk would be at the back of the line for a trade deal if they voted trump said in may that would not be the case if he became president. >> he's, after all, a dealmaker. he wants to do a free trade deal and i believe this is a great opportunity for us in the uk to build on that relationship with america that is a fundamental economic important matter to us, but also great importance to the stability and prosperity to the world. pence spoke to johnson yesterday. johnson tweeted, "we agreed on importance of the special relationship and need to tackle global challenges together." johnson told european leaders to stop the collective windrama over the victory of donald trump. >>> some women are trying to get long term birth control worried that if mandatory insurance coverage is gone, they won't be able to get coverage that way. donal

in hungary, they did not come to the meeting and boris johnson did not come, either.said that he did not think it was necessary and there is no reason to be whingeing about trump. there is an uncertainty that still surrounds the administration and the extent he will follow through. let's go back to the global markets strategist. how do you think things evolved? is the market waking up to a real possibility? >> i see it as a political storm and it moved over to the atlantic. it is now coming back and we have countries that represent 41% of the eu gdp and it does not include events like the italian referendum and the swiss renegotiating treaties. there is a lot of things in the air and it is difficult to get a clear view of equities. >> we have numbers hitting the bloomberg terminal. announceding maker they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and this story has been a long time in the making. they suggested that this is being prepared for the business and the turnaround plan did not and all it would seem of that headache, keep an eye on that. let's go back to you

. >> isn't that just wishful thinking on your part but also on the part of boris johnson and theresa may thinking access to the eu single market will still be granted. at the same time we can do some cherry picking by limiting immigration. >> these people have to maintain access because their economy and jobs depends on it. they don't deny americans access, the chinese or the japanese, so why would they deny the british? under wta rules they're not allowed to discriminate against us. i don't see why people keep on and on about it. nothing is happening. relax. when we get to negotiations, then there might be a story. >> nothing is happening yet, but we always like to speculate what could potentially happen. >> but there are many more interesting things that could happen before we get to the uk negotiations. >> i agree. a lot of us -- we speak to a lot of economists, just me personally, the vast majority of economists are warning that the slowdown is going to happen, it's going to be dramatic, and it may not be now or tomorrow but a year or two years, 5 years, 10 years down the line. >

how about then tweeting that maybe farage would be a good uk ambassador to the united states and boris johnson, the foreign secretary said on the floor of the comments, we have an excellent ambassador already. we don't need -- in other words, we don't need the president of the united states or the president-elect of the united states telling us whom to appoint to represent great britain in washington. >> it's fair to say the special relationship is off to a less than special start under the trump administration. >> how about that? thank you so much. we have a special relationship still. mark landler has written books about all of this and knows more about it than almost anyone i know. thank you very much. happy holidays to you. >> thank you, andrea. same to you. >> coming up next, new questions about the driver's record before the deadly school bus crash in chattanooga. the latest on the investigation next on "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. world ugly and messy. they are the natural born enemy of the way things are. yes, ideas are scary, and messy and fragile. but under the proper care, th

that ambassador is in place and boris johnson, the unconventional foreign secretary id thank you very much, mr. trump. we already have a very good ambassador. >> that's not the way it works. donald trump won't fill that role. we believe these tweets were in response to the "new york times" tweeting about donald trump having a meeting with leaders from the uk independence party, the one that was vocal about brexit. talking about pushing back encouraging them to push back on building wind farms near the scottish resort. not because he doesn't like wind farms but he doesn't like that they are blocking the view at his scottish golf resort. this was another example of donald trump mixing business and governing. >> since he's been elected. >> even though he made a big promise to build a wall between himself and the business. that's not happened so far. he had two tweets. one saying the only people who care are the media which isn't true. we knew he had businesses over seas but we didn't know he would continue to have an interest in the businesses because he said he would not. the second was

britain's foreign minister, boris johnson, the brexit's most vocal supporter, even criticized the complainerst's time we snapped out of the general doom and gloom about the result of this election and the collective drama. >> reporter: china says it wants to keep close contact, build a good working relationship, and meet with trump soon, which trump echoed, even though he had threatened a trade war during the campaign. but perhaps none are so welcoming as russia. parliament cheered when trump's win was announced, and vladimir putin's government has been in touch with trump's people during the campaign. >> but russia is ready and wants to restore the full-fledged relations with the united states. >> reporter: for now, publicly, the insults of the past are put aside, despite some deep concerns in private. michelle kosinski, cnn, athens. >> and there's muff more to come in the next hour of "360," including our breaking news. the top democrat in the senate, calling on president-elect trump to rescind the appointment of steve bannon as chief white house strategist, quoting champion of white suprem

people bike boris johnson with racially provocative views, what does that do to t security of americans if we're stoking that kind of fear among immigrant groups? >> it's a great question, joy. again, i go back to trump as a candidate. we never really got what his policies were. so we're all very much in the dark as to where he's going to go with this. we have the campaign, the rhetoric, and we're all very concerned that that will actually translate to policy, internationally as well. what we can look at is the people that he's choosing to be on his cabinet. before i got on the show i was talking to a friend who reminded me that leon panetta was the head of the cia and he had no intelligence experience. but if you look at pompeo and flynn, these are people that -- general flynn, as far as i can tell wasn't someone who was making senior policy, wasn't advising the president directly. to go from his previous post to national security advisor as well as pompeo, someone who has no intelligence experience, you got to look at this and say, all right, so they're relatively inexperienced or don
