sir vince cable addressing the crowd. he has just sir vince cable addressing the crowd.ir vince cable addressing the crowd. he has just told the crowd, we will stop brexit. keep fighting, keep hoping, we will win! thank you very much. that was spot-on timing, wasn‘t it? we just caught him saying, thank you very much to the crowd. but we will bring you much more from that rally throughout the afternoon. with me now in the studio... with me now is the conservative mp and leave supporter crispin blunt. liam fox thing on behalf of the government the pm is not bluffing over walking away without a deal. is that the right sort of message the government should be sending out at this point? it is entirely right. when i checked the foreign affairs committee, we looked at the implications of a no deal. we were clear that no deal has to be planned for. we do not have control over these negotiations, there are two sides. and then, of course, any agreement they came to could be vetoed by the european parliament. the only responsible thing to do is to plan for no deal. but of course no

soubry and the labourmp vince cable, anna soubry and the labour mp david lammy.to the bbc about why they are taking part. the message i would would like to give to people is to pay attention to what's been on the news, the messages we are getting from business, the worries about the various agencies we have to replicate,. what are we going to achieve? what is the world queueing up achieve? what is the world queueing up to buy from us? we are an 80% service up to buy from us? we are an 80% service economy. up to buy from us? we are an 80% service economy. you don't need trade deals for services. brexit is not what people expected and what they voted for. and we can't keep going into this disaster without thinking about whether we want to do this. that some of the views being expressed ahead of this lunchtime is about. earlier i spoke to the director of the uk change in europe and ask whether anything is actually changed in terms of public attitudes towards brexit in the last two yea rs ? towards brexit in the last two years? what the opinion polling shows is there

we spoke to vince cable earlier.eaking to mp and brexiteer peter bone in a few minutes, that's at ten past nine. a new project designed to tackle plastic pollution is being launched by the bbc today. it's being fronted by sir david attenborough, who says he's "astonished" by the public‘s response to the issue following the tv series blue planet two. it comes as new footage reveals how plastic is killing seabirds on a remote island off the east coast of australia. simonjones reports. searching for food but these sea birds are all too often finding and eating pieces of plastic. tens of thousands of flesh—footed shearwaters nest on this remote island hundreds of miles off the east coast of australia, but even here plastic is killing them. and another. some young birds have so much of it in their stomachs, fed to them by their parents, that there is no room for food. to see them emerge at two and a half months of age, just their stomachs, you know, bursting with plastic, is just... harrowing in a way that i could never h

vince cable, the leader of the liberal democrats, and the blackadder actor sir tony robinson, and alsomy and others who are there, in an individual capacity including 0lympians, some veterans of the second world war who all wanted to ta ke second world war who all wanted to take part. the organisers are hoping they will make this the biggest demonstration in favour of remaining in the european union at least get the opportunity just to in the european union at least get the opportunityjust to decide whether to leave, but underlines some of the pressures on the government of the moment. this is a march of people who say they are the minority. that they say it was 52-a8, minority. that they say it was 52—a8, so it's not that small a minority and they don't want to be left out in the government's thinking on brexit. they are worried about are no deal brexit, something that the boss of siemens was worrying about when he spoke to the bbc today programme earlier this morning. he was also alluding to something about the economic model the government should expect in the negotiations or should

is being organised by the organisation people's vote, and speakers will include lib dem leader vince cablee conservative former minister anna soubry, and labour's david lammy. we'll have more on this afternoon's march in a moment, but first, let's hear some of that interview from our political editor laura kuenssberg with the international trade secretary liam fox. the prime minister has always said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that no deal would be better than a bad deal. and i think it is essential, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that the european union understands that and believes it. and believes she might be ready to leave the negotiating table and say, this is impossible because you're not listening? i think it has added credibility because if we were to leave, the economic impact on a number of european countries would be severe. countries like ireland, the netherlands, belgium, would really feel the impact of that and that cannot be what the european union 27 actually want to see. this, ultimately, has to be about an economic and a people'

the march will descend on parliament square, where speakers will include lib dem leader vince cable,er minister anna soubry, and labour's david lammy. the pentagon has cancelled two joint marine training exercises with south korea. it follows the decision earlier in the week to suspend a majorjoint military exercise between the two countries which was planned for august. the pentagon said the move was part of the agreement reached between president trump and the north korean leader, kim jong—un, in singapore earlier this month. plans to house tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in detention centres on remote american military bases are being drawn up by the us navy, according to a time magazine report. the department of defence reportedly wants to build facilities on abandoned airfields in a bid to meet president trump's zero—tolerance policy against unlawful migration. 0ur north america correspondent, chris buckler, has more. just inside america's border, only miles from mexico, this is one of the shelters where children are being held. and from the air, you can see young people

things we‘re today was we heard from politicians we heard a labour‘s david mamet, vince agree —— vince cable heard from ordinary people. we had a dr, a student. certainly the organisers of this rally are very keen to make it not seem rally are very keen to make it not seem like an elitist demand coming from london and are keen to say this was people coming from all over the country. they bust people and and they say that brexit is not a done deal. —— bussed people and. they say that brexit is not a done deal. -- bussed people and. what was the reaction to ian fox and his comments and that they could still walk away but no deal potentially? people here unsurprisingly think that would be sort of madness. they think that would be a terrible situation to come to. and interestingly, we don‘t really know what will happen if that comes about. we don‘t really know what sort of circumstance would arise that would lead to another referendum. because at the moment you have both the conservatives and labour both saying that is a bad idea. so i guess the scenario here that people here envisaging are that

i think there is a quiet comeback that vince cable in his quiet way is overseeing.hink, in lot about what people are thinking, i think, in the country. this was a seat that had voted largely remained. so maybe not surprising the lib dems would do well in that climate. —— remain. the lib dems would do well in that climate. -- remain. the lib dems feel anxious because of the remain thing. it is a conjugated issue. the people who come out to vote are the ones who bothered to vote in the eu referendum. and they are the ones that voted at the general election. what struck me, not political, per se, but the turnout. so low. it does make me think that people are so sick of the debate on brexit and what is happening. they seem to be so turned off by politics. something needs to be done to enlighten that. i agree. 0scar needs to be done to enlighten that. i agree. oscar wilde said the relationship is an extended conversation. politics has to be as well. we have to move the conversation forward. democracy only works when enough people are interested. a spat between a couple o

let's talk to vince cable, leader of the liberal democrats, thank you for joining us.dea of a meaningful vote and there could be a substantial rebellion. i think the resignation this morning of the government minister, dr lee, on the basis that we should be pursuing a public vote on the final deal, i think that again has undercovered the fact that beneath the leadership in both tory and labour parties there is a lot of unhappiness with the way government is sliding towards a disastrous outcome. as a government the last thing you need is a ministerial resignation. yes, he is not major figure in government, but he has timed his exit effectively. the people of his constituency will be pleased with the way their mp has made his voice felt. the issue of the meaningful vote, why is it so important? because we need to have a mechanism in parliament to handle the situation where if negotiations break down and we're left with no deal and a chaotic situation, the government has accepted the principle that parliament needs to have a vote on the outcome. it has not determined what

vince cable, talking about this as the oh my god moment, when you realise something really is happeningotiations so far by the current government. they don't know whether they want to be part of a customs union, they haven't put any solid foundations down in terms of pushing forward for a real deal in relation to the single market. there seems to be constant squabbling in the back room in relation to whether we have a hard brexit or a soft brexit. and it's providing extreme uncertainty for business. they've been waiting with bated breath for nearly two years to find out what the government's direction is, and they're still not certain. and i think some businesses such as airbus are starting to carry out those risk assessments and publicly state that if the decision isn't taken to change course and provide some certainty soon, then there are right to be significant conferences. there are conservative mps in favour of brexit that have dismissed the warning, effectively saying airbus are crying wolf. john wade —— john redwood said it was project fear on steroids. others are saying that air

we can talk now to the liberal democrat leader, sir vince cable, whose twickenham constituency wouldg the possibility that itjust might?m isa possibility that itjust might?m is a step forward and it may happen but there are formidable obstacles to overcome. the government has not yet explained how the air quality will be maintained, who will pay for the potentially vast infrastructure, this enormous gap between the 11 billion that is estimated by transport for london and the 1 billion that the commercial promoters are putting up. there are big uncertainties around that apart from the politics. people in labour and the conservatives as well as my own party strongly opposed to it. on local grounds, this is the difficulty, for tory mps in the area as well. if you represented a constituency hundreds of miles away, would you see the business argument for this and perhaps take a slightly gentler view of any proposed expansion? i think there is a division of opinion amongst people outside london. there are some of us who take the view that this is a london centric development. a third of th
