are we ensuring we are leaving the european union? put it to the vote, that is your dirty harry moment. come on, punk, make my he says. every member of parliament, when it comes to my dashed to vote, will recognise the significance. the consequences can be very unpleasant, he said. this is about, and what we need to think about, and what we need to think about, is the future of the people of the united kingdom and the uk because that's what this vote will because that's what this vote will be about. the question is, as i say, i'm confident will be able to come back with a good deal, put a good deal to parliament and when people look at that, the question is, do we wa nt to look at that, the question is, do we want to have that good deal that delivers on the vote and provides opportunities for the future, which means we can come out of the european union, we can be that independent sovereign state, taking decisions for ourselves and the most of opportunities and providing for the futures of people up and down this country. or what? they

that's part and parcel of belonging to the european union. european sovereignty will never be directed against others. europe must remain tolerant, open. they will remain so. europe will never become a fortress, turning its back on the world. in particular, the suffering part of the world. europe must and will remain a multilateral continent because the world belongs to everyone, not just a few. [applause] that's what's at stake in the european elections in may 2019. in the 250 days between now and then, we must get across to our citizens the evidence that when we act together, the european union can achieve results. and it respects the commitments we entered into at the beginning of our office. between now and the european elections, we must show that europe is able to overcome differences between the north and the south, the east and the west. the european union, europe is too small to split itself into two today and four tomorrow. we have to show clearly that andther, east, west, south, north, we are able to plant the seeds of a more sovere

the european union has trade agreements with 70 countries. we account for 40% of world gdp. the trade agreements i'm talking often called into question, wrongly. highenable us to export european food safety standards around the world. as well as workers rights, environmental standards, and consumer law standards. during a dangerous. of international tension, i visited both beijing as well as washington in one week. i was able to speak in my capacity on behalf of the largest single market in the world. on behalf of the union, which accounts for -- of the total world economy. a union which is prepared to defend its interests. i represented europe as an open one that wet not will handover. hand over. out ourle to set position and i was able to achieve results for our citizens . when we are united, europeans have become a force to be reckoned with that you cannot do without. are unhappy with the agreement i reached with president trump. some were surprised by it. it shouldn't have been a surprise. one, werope speaks as can impose our position on others. where necessary, europe mu

this is the focal point of the debate how to make european union strong again and there's a big clash between some western european and to this let's prove this straight war pushing for a european union which should be stepping into the dimension of post christianity. and post nations and our goal is for two different we want a strong european union based on strong member states and we want a europe which sticks to its christian heritage so we're number one we don't want europe to get rid of the christian heritage and we want member states to stay as member states we don't want you know give up our nationality we don't want to give up our culture of we don't want to give up our heritage and so on and so so forth. this is a big clash between those who want to see european union as post christian asbos national and us who want to see europe as a christian continent based on strong member states european commission's also undertaking legal action against hungary for its law targets those who help asylum seekers do you think this goes to all the way to the european

we can get the trade agreement sorted out then that will involve things that will reassure the european union about things like the border in northern ireland about the freedom of mobility of goods across the border specifically meanwhile the european union has been taking a different tack and has been looking at well where can we put border arrangements in place so it now has it is coming back the indications are the michel barnier is going to propose that this is not a border at the border in northern ireland but that customs checks and other bits of bureaucracy are done elsewhere firms or in the market and open up some scope for negotiations to move ahead jones economist at lancaster university thank you for your insight. now britain's imminent exit from the e.u. is already casting a shadow on british industry now jaguar is thawing down production and its plant near birmingham owned by indian conglomerate tata jaguar says it's up up to one thousand jobs could go at the same time it's ramping up hiring and production in slovakia. the city of detroit and slovakia is already profiting from br

in the european union. that italy should take itself out of the european union? but, i guess the key question is, are you prepared to play by europe's rules? we have discussed migration policy, which you say you are determined to change because you will not accept the way it works at the moment. but when it comes to economics and finance as well, we see that your government has an ambitious economic programme based on slashing taxes to the flat tax that you want, your partners have a universal basic income idea, there is commitment to massive, new public spending on infrastructure. all of this suggests that you are not interested in the eu's basic financial budgetary rules, which tell us that a country like italy is running an unacceptably high debt of something like 130% of gdp, which must come down. your plan looks like it will make it go up, not down. you know, there is fear in brussels and in berlin and other european capitals about what italy could do to the eurozone and the european economy. to quote o

which would damage the european union and the u.s. and its integrity i do respect the sovereignty of the british people but i do respect the sovereignty of the twenty seven of them and us and they decided to join the european union with its roots. and i'm here precisely to protect the interests of my citizen but boldly of this common project world the message from mr mccollum was not the only blunt rebuttal to the british prime minister time and time again we heard from e.u. leaders that they will not allow the u.k. to end its membership while trying to walk in some benefits reserved only for each new countries we have more now on last night's dinner that did not end with theresa may having her cake and eating it too it all looked so friendly and polite at the outset there certainly was common interest to come up with a breakfast deal regarding britain's future relationship with the european union but that didn't happen here. it will have to happen at a make or break meeting in a month. european council president donald rejected brita

and were still working in the european union for the timetable. it was set. we are leaving the european union on that 29th of march 2018. he talks about those deal. i will be signing up to deal with it at any time. that would be bad for the british people. yesterday the secretary admitted that the next some slippage. when they have the economy in the world. it should get itself into that position. no deal is a bad deal. and everyone to the own chancellor. it's the turning of the same thing. the checkers proposal is dead. when will they publish a real plan that survives contact with the cabinet and with reality. those are two very separate concepts. when they put jobs in economy had. on their own government. we have published a plan we are discussing with the european union. no longer head they have the court of justice here in the country. we don't have a hard border. we do have a border between northern ireland and great britain. what i'm doing is negotiating a brexit deal. i'm making sure works for everyone. what is the right honorable gentlemen doing. his c

the you know. trumps protectionism is affecting today more european union and china. the decisions that took until now where the season's first against the friends their allies because the friends the allies like european union or like can of there were like mexico where countries without any. any customs and the protection is with the us we were really in a very good relationships in terms of trade china already. has many many barriers with us so the decisions of trump are affecting today more european union canada mexico than china so this is why we are so angry with him and we would this is why our reaction is in terms of a counter react. to the u.s. but also in terms of turning to east what i would think could hear a pin slapping terrorists in retaliation to add hostile action is maybe a strong thing to do but that does not put an end to the trade war itself so is there anything else other than new trade taxes then you can do and turning to the east we can hope. the democrats can defeat trump in the next election if this is no one here is that he would be elected t

which would damage the european union and and its incident for sure. white paper remains the only serious and credible proposition if we if there is no agreement on a deal that is acceptable to the united kingdom the new deal to some of my working assumption but let nobody be in any town. would be tempted. we are prepared and we are preparing for a new deal i'm negotiating and i'm against the interests of the british people the utmost today and yesterday was much better than to free which to go so don't worry be happy don't worry. also coming up tonight the world anti-doping agency today lifted russia's suspension triggering outrage around the world some calling the decision and insult to the world's clean athletes you know the process stinks and it's been extremely shady how it's gone about you know it's why you see outrage by athletes all around the world right now at the possibility that russia could be reinstated under under these circumstances. or we. begin the day attempting to imagine what must be going through the mind of british prime minister

of trying to cherry pick its way out of the european union. it all looked so friendly and polite at the outset there certainly was common interest to come up with the brics a deal regarding britain's future relationship with the european union but that didn't happen here it will have to happen at a make or break meeting in a month. european council president donald to st jacques to britain's plan regarding its future relationship with the e.u. the british would like to benefit from frictionless trade even though they won't be part of the multinational bloc anymore to support cold water on what britain once every other the view of the positive elements in that check propose. the subsystem framework for the moment cooperation. locally is because the truth of the single market the e.u. itself would like to continue having seamless trade with northern ireland as if it were still in the single market and customs union however the british prime minister rejected that as her government feels it would economically and constitutionally isolate the u.k.

threat because i've been a model of european economy is based on export is based on producing more than we consumption and that these crucial for the future of european union if we have a word of protectionist if we are obliged to produce only for the internal consumption that is the end of the european economic model this is why trade is becoming the big gap between you opinion and us to trump is also threatening to pull america out of the w t l if everything goes and go there merican way what would that mean for here a plan for condition i think for w two it would be a mortal threat to. buy the same time i don't see possible to have a trade multilateral level we. out in the organization multilateral organizations we can have only bilateral agreements between countries we need to have and then to mentor mention a multilateral organizations w two a was this organization it's worked in some p.t.o. of our history even recent history so i think trump attacked. multilateralism and europe at the same time and i think it's a double attack that is for us the big signal we have to react we were always allied of us and we are still alive of the u.s. trump is anothe

the u.k. of trying to cherry pick its way out of theory european union -- out of the european union. reporter: it all looked so friendly and polite at the outset. there was common interest to come up with a brexit deal regarding britain's future relationship with the european union. but that didn't happen here. it will have to happen at a make or break meeting in a month. the european council president donald tusk rejected the plan regarding the future relationship with the eu. the british would like to benefit from frictionless trait, even though they won't be part of the multinational bloc anymore. tusk threw cold water on what britain oncwants. >> the suggested framework for economic cooperation will not work, not least because it risks undermining the single market. reporter: the eu itself would like to continue having seamless trade with northern ireland. however, the british prime minister rejected that as her government feels it would economically and constitutionally isolate the u.k. she did not hesitate to mention the other scenario. prime min. may: if there is no agreement o

a future prime minister could always choose to alter the relationship between britain and the european unionthe chequers approach is the right one for now, because we've got to make sure that we respect that vote and take advantage of the opportunities of being outside the european union. but this former conservative leader and a good number of his colleagues are not convinced. michael gove has said now is the time for compromise, change can come later. what do you say to that? i think that's a bit of a copout, really, to explain away is essentially jam tomorrow and we can prophesy what the future is. we can't. we only have what is now, what the public voted for, which is brexit. with so many arguments still swirling around, who makes the final call? the labour mayor of london thinks it should be us, voters, in a referendum. the question should be a choice between the deal done by this government or staying in the european union, and the deal done by this government, we can now see what actually the consequences would be. labour's leadership remains to be convinced an another referendum. the

that means it is right that we are preparing for a no deal, indeed, as the european union is doing. we are publishing technical notices so citizens will know where they stand. the final total is likely to be around 70. we are making those preparations. crucially, what this government is doing is working for a good deal, preparing for every eventuality, and making sure this country does its best in leaving the eu, regardless of the outcome of the negotiation. >> the trade secretary says he is unphased by no deal. the new secretary said this morning that a no deal brexit would be a huge mistake. the chancellor standing next to her has written to the committee, stating that a no deal brexit would/gdp by almost 8%, comparable to the global financial crash. which assessment do you agree with? >> no deal would not be a walk in the park, but it would not be the end of the world. the government is right -- the government's right to make the necessary preparations for no deal, while at the same time we are working for a good deal to make sure we deliver on the vote of the british people and w

voting for leaders who support policies that their people want this is the core problem of the european union and that is why i will see further problems and further disagreements between the nation states in the european union. another huge headline maker in the way donald trump's later supreme court pick has brought three one of the most divisive figures to be nominated for the job opposition to confirming brett kavanaugh stepped up huge gear this week all for a woman made sexual assault allegations against him kavanagh strongly denies the accusations well his accusers now agreed to testify before congress about it caleb open house more on trump's contentious choice for what is a lie. time position of the hearings surrounding the appointment of a new supreme court justice by the president has turned into arguably the most burgeoning political issue in the united states at this time as the nomination process continues for brett kavanaugh we're seeing a circus of anger and accusations. mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman your relations from years ago have we

tax and duty—free shopping for journeys within the european union ended in the summer of 1999. s will be allowed to bring with them strictly limited quantities of duty—free goods. and the blue channel will disappear from uk airports. what we don‘t know. roaming charges for phone calls, texts, and internet use on mobile phones within the eu were abolished in june 2017. once the uk leaves the european union, those benefits will no longer legally apply to british travellers. it will then presumably be up to individual mobile phone providers to decide if they are going to bring back roaming charges for uk travellers to the eu and european visitors to britain. for over 20 years, the european union has had open skies, allowing any eu airline to fly between any two eu airports. the no—frills revolution has transformed aviation. the british government says it wants the same arrangements to continue, which will allow any uk or eu airline to fly to, from, or within the uk or the eu. the transport secretary, chris grayling, told me he is confident that an aviation deal will be sealed, even

ambassador's tweet despite the threat of you with sanctions the european union is not taking this lying down is it immediate trying to find a way to shield european companies from the sanctions that's right the e.u. is in a difficult position because of course if the u.s. sanctions e.u. companies that could mean a loss of a lot of money so they are desperately trying to come up with ways to keep their businesses in iran and thereby keep the nuclear deal together so what the the latest is that the e.u. is going to set up a holding company what they call a special purpose vehicle which would act as a as a mediator in these transactions and thereby hopefully avoid u.s. sanctions if if companies want to do business in iran they could transfer money here and it could transfer the money on to iran and it could go the other direction as well so this is just the latest way that the european union is trying to keep its businesses afloat and still keep business booming with tehran. our teri schultz on the story for us tonight in brussels terry thank you. it is a decision on doping in sports that

to do with free movement within the european union. seeking is distinct and has fuelled the right across large parts of the european union and yet as you say if turkey can't take another three million, what happens? and to what extent can europe have a coordinated response, which was merkel's hope when this crisis came up a few years ago. there was no response because when others tried to cooperate, there was a rise of the right, they were terrified and backed away. i remember angela merkel coming to ankara to meet with president erdogan, they had a lot of money and an agreement to deal with the refugee crisis on its territory. so i don't know where we are at on that level but, you know, there is a lack of coordination. there was this huge refugee crisis during the summer a few years ago and there was an attempt to deal with it and there are 28 different members. and they failed to pull back from that deal. there have been several deals were president erdogan said he couldn't deal with it any longer. if 800,000 go across the border if

there are other people who say we want to be as distant as possible from the european union. in the uk's interest, what's in our interests, is to continue to have good cooperation with the european union on things like security, it's to continue to have good opportunity for trade with the european union, and to make sure that businesses that are trading with the eu today don't see any change. that promise of no change is what made the chequers plan so divisive. first, her brexit secretary, david davis, quit. then borisjohnson, her foreign secretary, decided he would follow suit. over the summer, johnson's criticism of the prime minister's plan became more and more strident, raising questions about his ambition and her leadership. ch, of course, herfuture is at risk, because she's got boris johnson now breathing down her neck, and i think the thing which theresa really has a problem with is that she's almost in a position now where she's pretty much pickled off everybody. what you've got is a prime minister who's got a disunited, warring bunch behind her, so she can't take a r

tax and duty—free shopping, for those within the european union ended in the summer of 1999. the uk from eu countries will be allowed to bring with them strictly limited quantities of duty—free goods. and the blue channel will disappearfrom goods. and the blue channel will disappear from uk airports. goods. and the blue channel will disappearfrom uk airports. what goods. and the blue channel will disappear from uk airports. what we don't know. roaming charges for phone calls, texts, and internet use on that mobile phones with in the eu we re on that mobile phones with in the eu were abolished in june on that mobile phones with in the eu were abolished injune 2017. once the uk leads the european union those benefits will no longer legally apply to british travellers. they will then presumably be up to individual mobile phone providers to decide if they are going to bring back roaming charges for uk travellers to the eu and european visitors to britain. for over 20 yea rs, visitors to britain. for over 20 years, the european union has had open skies, allowing any eu airline to

are fleeing political hardship or political prosecution in other countries that make it to the european union will they be redistributed among the countries of the european union that is the part that's completely unclear and that's the part where you have the most controversy you've had actually for the last three years especially between countries like poland and hungary and countries like germany and france and quite frankly there really is absolutely no compromise in sight here because politicians like the door by the prime minister of hungary want this controversy because it helps them to gain to get elected in their own countries yeah i mean it's you know it's a point that probably bowled deserve its own extra summit in the foreseeable future who knows max hope in a correspondent tonight at that e.u. summit in salzburg austria max as always thank you. the united states of appears to be setting a deadline for the completion of its denuclearization talks with north korea january twenty twenty one that's according to u.s. secretary of state. he says he's restarting because she ages with no
