philip hammond hasjumped brexit. -- no deal.ond has jumped into this debate and the timing is unfortunate from the government's point of view, certainly from dominic raab‘s point of view. it shows there are still plenty of divides within the government. dominic raab was tried to walk a tightrope with the papers. making it clear that they no deal brexit would be complex. he was sending a message to the eu as well that we have this carpet and we are quite happy with that and are negotiating from a strong position so negotiating from a strong position so for hammond tojump in saying it would reduce gdp, raised public borrowing, was quite tricky. you mean they no deal or a bad deal?‘ no deal. that is the implication. what it does is it complicates this delicate balance which dominic raab was trying to create yesterday and, it indicates that there are still split there. the daily telegraph and a lot of other press are analysing the news on brexit. let's talk about the news on brexit. let's talk about the change in australia. at the b

philip hammond gets all kinds of criticism in the context of brexit.ously a split in cabinetand brexit. there is obviously a split in cabinet and a lot of these papers are reporting this story in a critical manner. you can guess which papers actually, the daily mail, the telegraph and the express, weird, can't imagine the agenda they are pushing, but anyway, they say he has undermined the brexit secretary dominic raab‘s... undermined the brexit secretary dominic raab's. .. slightly more upbeat assessment of what might happen, the sort of "don't worry, we know the risks and we are preparing". you can call it upbeat, i would say... the press are saying that he calmed and allayed fears. i don't think that's true. i think the publication of this report, this is a series of planning notices from the government saying how they are preparing for a no deal scenario with brexit. if anything it hasjust raised alarm, raised people's concerns and we've come a long way from before the referendum when we had liam fox saying it could be the easiest thing in the world

another row between philip hammond and brexiteers. this is something we have seen before.a no if the risks, as the treasury puts it of a no deal, is to be averted. —— the risk. the headlines on bbc news. scotland's former first minister, alex salmond, strongly rejects allegations of sexual misconduct, dating back to his time in office, and says he'll take the scottish government to court over its handling of the allegations a postmortem is to be carried out on the bodies of a british couple who died in egypt while staying at a hotel in the red sea resort of hurghada. a new prime minister in australia. scott morrison is sworn into office just hours after his predecessor was forced out. sport now. that afternoon to you. the iconic spa in belgium is the iconic menu for the formula 1 return. it is where mercedes usually does well. sebastian vettel is showing his determination to close the gap on championship leader lewis hamilton. the german has topped the time sheets in first practice, more than three tenths of a second quicker than lewis hamilton. chris ashton's hopes of an

more fears here —— hammond. eu access after brexit. more fears here -- hammond.ad a meeting last week with some senior figures in the city, they will be horrified it's on the front page of the ft but we will leave that to one side. when the uk leave the eu there will be a close alignment hopefully on financial services but overtime the eu in politically motivated rule changes instigated by the french... those pavilions french! keen on keen on the french personally but, there you go. they may be able to affect the financial services in the uk to be closer to eu rules. he's pointing out in the medium term what the uk should be looking at is trying to get... replace the possible loss of eu market access with financial services deals with other countries and particularly emerging markets in the far east. it isn't as apocalyptic as some of the warnings we've been hearing about brexit, it's a concern in the medium—term france might try to snatch business from the city of london. the french have made it their business to attract business away from the uk to france, so w

what does hammond think he's playing at, demands that paper in bold large type.settle nerves over a new deal brexit. nobody really wants that, it's better forget it deal but even if we don't he has issued some reports, 24 in all saying what the consequences could be. the payment has gone one better saying the physical consequences will be dire and he's been swiftly rebuked by downing street for saying so. there's a lot of detail in these documents. we had a discussion earlierfor he said documents. we had a discussion earlier for he said he tried to look on the website and does not feel he's any the wiser because of the end of the day and they say they do wa nt to end of the day and they say they do want to deal, but do you think it has moved the debate forward in any way? i don't. it's interesting be expressed as flame bait in this way. the cancer was no dealjust hours after the brexit secretariat. the point is did not calm fears. sometimes it's the blt of. they barely ever agree about anything a grain of this would be a disaster. we had the welsh government and

classic philip hammond speak.s political man, a very different man to george osborne. there is recognition here, notjust of philip hammond being a different matter george osborne, but also from civil servants and white holdings general, there is a deep trend here. we are not going back to the old high streets. they might be able to mitigate this for a bit, but they need to think about what comes next ina need to think about what comes next in a broader sense. let's move on to your paper, henry, because it is sort of related to this. poor old amazon, they are getting it in the next, aren't they? what is your paper saying, they are being accused of misleading buyers? yes, a scoop my colleague oliver ryan to reveal some worried that next week the advertising standards authority is going to rule that amazon's offers of unlimited one day delivery as pa rt of unlimited one day delivery as part of its prime package are misleading. now, on the one hand, this is just misleading. now, on the one hand, this isjust a misleadi

they reporting hammond's warnings ina favorably.hey reporting hammond's warnings in a negative light, how dare he, who does he think he is? this does show you the rift in the government that there is still a robin said the government of people who are pushing for a softer brexit toa who are pushing for a softer brexit to a softer brexit and the trouble is they keep getting torpedoed by the hard wing of the government who you could argue are basicallyjust running the clock on the negotiation because they want no deal. they actually do. they want to recreate the singapore style deregulated... we already know the regulators will be incorporated into british law whether or not they have a deal. will be don't know that. that's part of the problem. berti said those laws will go back into british parliamentary lock, go back into legislation whether or not there's a deal. it will be a mammoth tax cut. it's not going to be a slash and burn to race to the bottom. do you think it's fair of them to suggest that this is still an unresolved tensi

but alex hammond himself is speaking this afternoon. daughter of a couple who died at a hotel in egypt has said they were "fit and healthy" before their holiday. kelly 0rmerod was with her parents, john and susan cooper, who came from lancashire. they were staying at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel in the red sea resort of hurghada. mrs 0merod said herfather, who was 69, died in his room and her mother died in hospital. the couple had booked the holiday with thomas cook, and the travel company says it's offering its 300 customers alternative hotels or the option to return home. dan johnson reports. what caused john and susan cooper's deaths? their daughter says john collapsed in his room on tuesday and susan fell ill a few hours later. the egyptian authorities said they both suffered low blood pressure and heart failure. this is the steigenberger aqua magic on egypt's red sea coast. thomas cook says there is no evidence of carbon monoxide poisoning here but because other tourists had been ill it decided to move its 300 other holidaym

leaving aside the cricket in the rain, they have hammond eyes amazon tax and also a story about borison. let's focus on the story about universities. this is really intriguing after all years of student struggling to get in on all the arguments over student finance. maybe now the boot is on the other foot. basically, the story points out that, over the past years, when the government came in and said they would raise these two £9,000, they said that would come with a lift in cap on student numbers so universities could, because they had their teaching grant taken away, they could bring in more students make more money that way and it would be balanced out. the problem is they cannot fill those places. i worked in clearing at warwick university. we any had a small number of places to fill but whenever i speak to academics now, they select clearing has become huge. 0ne successful university encourages people to fill places even at this late stage. it is strange that universities mentioned in this story are russell group universities with long heritage is and good reputations. ones who y

it is notjust what philip hammond said that has drawn criticism, but when he said it.hose put a pretty positive spin on what a no—deal brexit might look like, saying there could be some disruption but it would only be in the short term and the likelihood of that outcome was pretty slim anyway. the timing has drawn criticism directly from some brexit backing mps, including people like jacob rees mogg who said yesterday that the chancellor seems to think that no deal is absurdly frightening, saying it is nothing like as scary as philip hammond thinks. marcus fish said on twitter that this was yet another instalment of project fear. these are the headlines. alex salmond, scotland‘s former first minister, described sexual conduct allegations against him as ridiculous. he says he will take the scottish government to court over its handling of the allegations. the scottish government confirms two cases are being investigated. nicola sturgeon insist the games will not be swept under the carpet. thomas cook removes guests from a egyptian hotel following the deaths ofa egyptian

the chancellor, philip hammond, has been accused of launching a "dodgy project fear" by brexit—backingives. this after he warned that a no—deal brexit would cause major economic damage. mr hammond's comments came just hours after the brexit secretary dominic raab played down the likelihood of the uk leaving the eu without a deal. mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option, but says it's important "practical" preparations are made. ajewish labour mp says she feels "unwelcome" in the party after a video emerged showing jeremy corbyn accusing british zionists of having "no sense of english irony". liverpool wavertree mp luciana berger described the labour leader's comments as "inexcusable". the clip of the labour leader's speech from 2013 was published on the daily mail website, as mr corbyn makes efforts to tackle anti—semitism in his party. a spokesperson for mr corbyn denied the comments were offensive. there is no safe limit to alcohol consumption and health officials should consider recommending that people go teetotal, that's the findings of a major global study. the re

raab seemed to say those projections from chancellor hammond won't come through either are we facing> it's not a willingness to be no deal, we want there to be a good deal. but our european partners should understand if we don't get a good deal, then -- and we have to walk away, we would that's not an outcome that is in either interest. >> just want to talk about your meeting in china as well it seems that both you and the chinese commerce ministry worked towards a topnotch trade deal. we know you can't commit to anything until the brexit process is complete, but do you have concerns about businesses operating in china specifically when it comes to intellectual property transfers >> i think if you look at the chinese market and the uk's export pattern with china, you can see where the difficulties lie. if you look at the united states, you can see 55% of uk exports to the united states are services it's about 50/50 globally for services and goods for the uk. in china it's 82% goods, 18% services in other words, what the uk has most to offer in terms of the ability for the chinese eco

the ft leads with a warning from the chancellor, philip hammond, to business leaders about a french—ledeu, to restrict the uk s access to european markets after brexit. ministers are warning that a no—deal brexit will result in the eu breaching its own laws —— that's according to the daily telegraph. the metro leads with a warning from liam fox, the international trade secretary, that the uk is now likely to crash out of the eu without a deal 7 which he blames on the eu s chief negotiator, michel barnier. meanwhile, the express says that a no—deal brexit could end up being worse for the eu than for the uk, costing brussels as much as 500 billion pounds. self—harming by teenage girls has doubled in 20 years, that s according to the times, which says that the figures have led to concerns about the pressures of school and social media on young people. the independent carries a picture of the world war two vintage aircraft, bluebird —— which crashed in the swiss alps, killing all twenty passengers and crew on board. it also reports that leading universities are urging the government to brin

philip hammond change the schedule of the budgets and made a big deal about that.ime minister and others about having extra money to the nhs as part of its anniversary celebrations this year. that additional money is the case where will he find it? normally you announce it with a plan and the plan wasn't there. now there is this extra money, it is a case of what will they do. we also know that planning for no deal, for example, is well under way stop a lot of contingency money is needed for that. whether he has as much to spend as we think, we don't know. we will see. we will also see who will direct the next bond movie. we did think it was danny boyle, and it is not going to be danny boyle. why is he not doing it? well, we don't know. creative differences, we are told. i am very much looking forward told. i am very much looking forward to the leaks coming out regarding what is behind that phrase, creative differences. this was going to be the 25th bond movie, i can't believe they have done 25. there is already speculation about the next bond, and who it will be, a

mr hammond knows he is under pressure.efence, on prisons. yes, these betterfigures mean the treasury could have more to spend in the autumn budget — but the risks around the economy still remain. sophie. the home secretary, sajid javid, has apologised to 18 members of the so—called windrush generation, after a review found that they may have been wrongfully removed from the uk or detained. the windrush generation refers to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who moved to the uk from the caribbean and other commonwealth states, between 19118 and 1971, but who were never given proper documentation. almost 12,000 cases have been re—examined. the home secretary says he's committed to "righting the wrongs of the past." chi chi izundu reports. they were invited to come and help rebuild britain after the second world war, but questions over proper documentation proving their indefinite right to remain have left thousands with problems accessing things like health care, getting a job or even remaining in the country. today, th

this follows on from the fact that philip hammond, the chancellor, last week, sent a letter to the treasuryng that britain will be 80 billion pounds worse off if we crashed out without a deal. that was obviously not well received by the brexiteers. there is an official quoted on the front page. "this meeting is needed to find out once and for that we can survive an ideal scenario, said one official. " and for that we can survive an ideal scenario, said one official. we love cartoon. the treasury forecast is there and then the quote is, apparently after the no deal brexit, the only survivors will be cockroaches. and it knows either of you caught any questions. how big a deal is and no deal? what are your thoughts? the trouble is, nobody has ever done it so how can we possibly know? my feeling is, it feels like, from everything i have read, it will bea from everything i have read, it will be a catastrophe. all the brexiteers isa be a catastrophe. all the brexiteers is a project fear. theyjust shout those two words. fake news, rubbish. we won't have very long if it is no deal come march next y

and lastly, the uk chancellor phillip hammond highlighted again a scenario where the uk economy couldmore than 7% of gdp over the next 15 years, if the uk were to leave the eu bloc without a deal. what we can say, i think with some certainty, it is that if we get no deal, it will be a disruption for the uk economy. i think it is difficult to quantify that but that is not what we want, and what we have been very clear is that we want there to be a good deal between britain and europe. just remember that the european union has a £100 a year ‘s surplus in goods trade with the uk, what would that mean if we had no deal? that would mean if we had no deal? that would mean that european countries would have to pay about £14 billion a year to access the uk market. it is not just that it is not in the uk's interest for there to be no deal, it is not an eu's interest either. is that how you feel today? well, and it is difficult to be scientific about these things. what i think is that there is an increased focus on the need to get an agreement with united kingdom, that does not mean necessarily

about the amount of money philip hammond as chancellor potentially has to spend.other bits of data emerging today is that lower spending and higher tax receipts mean the government borrowed 12 billion in the four months to the end ofjuly but collected 2 billion more in revenue thanit collected 2 billion more in revenue than it spent. july is among that is significant often. when a lot of freelance people pay their taxes i was told. the issue is that when you look at the previous story about the issue of money and pockets a challenge the chancellor has in the budget is there it is a significant amount to find because of the additional money for the nhs so there is talk about fuel tax rises and other tax rises which will hit individuals. to some extent it is a good news story, it is what they do with the money and whether people feel it. we are being warmed up potentially for tax rises so there might be wiggle room but i cannot see them rolling back of it. the daily telegraph, an interesting story about former criminals becoming magistrates which sounds counterintui

the chancellor, phillip hammond, has written to a senior colleague today warning that economic growthand his friends would say it's simply facing harsh reality. few mps like the idea of a no—deal brexit. so are opposition parties backing the government? of course not. eight weeks before the october summit, which is supposed to be the end of negotiations, the government is just publishing these vague papers, and they're not even publishing all of them. presumably, the other 50 or so papers are still being written. that really isn't going to reassure anybody. the likelihood of a people's vote is now growing. when we have a no deal, which is obviously unacceptable and highly disruptive, and we have a government deal which is poor and disruptive, what else do we do? in brussels, the eu is playing hardball and saying any kind of brexit will come at a cost. it's going to lead to disruption regardless. with a deal or without a deal. that's why everybody, particularly economic operators, need to be prepared. the agreed time to sketch out britain's future relationship with the eu has almost ru

the uk's finance minister, philip hammond, has warned that france may try to bind london's financialred tape following brexit. the financial times reports he made the comments in a meeting with business leaders. he urged them to develop alternative pathways for growth. europe's largest bank hsbc says it pre—tax profits rose in the first half of this year to $10.7 billion. the bank makes the vast majority of its profits in asia and is continuing to expand in china as well as invest in new technology. katie silver is in our asia business hub in singapore. katie, is that asia pivot working? it appears to be, david. as we say, profit beat expectations and revenue was up yet relatively subdued. but the problem was costs. we saw an increase of about 7% in expenditure towards this pivot, so we saw an increase in the cost of front line staff and technological investment. this is in lines with the goals of the new ceo. it follows shrinking and restructuring at the banks we've seen 87,000 jobs go from the bank in recent yea rs seen 87,000 jobs go from the bank in recent years and several leade

but why was the chancellor philip hammond's reaction to these better figures this — "we must not be complacentoverall debt of the government, that's the total amount it has borrowed over years and years is this. £1.8 trillion. that's 1.8 million million pounds. the government is committed to bringing that figure down. it still leaves the chancellor with a big choice to make. he could decide to spend more. we could borrow pretty cheaply, but if he does decide to spend more it looks very unlikely he will meet his own target, which is to get us to budget balance in a few years‘ time. the health service, prisons, police, all jostling for resources after a long period of austerity. yes, the treasury will have more to spend in the autumn budget, but the risks around the economy still remain. the brexit secretary dominic raab has told the bbc he'll move swiftly to secure the rights of european union citizens in the uk in the event of no deal being agreed on the future relationship between the uk and the eu. mr raab said there was absolutely "no question of eu citizens being turfed out". he was speaki
