we will go back to berlin acid is angela merkel and boris johnson appear. —— as soon angela merkel anda merkel. one thing we are hearing from jeremy corbyn in the last few moments, he has invited the leaders of other political parties and senior lawmakers to discuss old tactics to prevent a no—deal brexit. that meeting will take place on august the 27th. an invitation from jeremy corbyn, leader of the opposition, two other political parties and senior lawmakers to attend a meeting on august the 27th to prevent a no—deal brexit. another breaking story related to ryanair, they have lost their high court bid to stop the pilot strike. that is correct. the pilot strike is due to go ahead from midnight tonight. they have been fighting in the high court, ryanair, to been fighting in the high court, rya nair, to block been fighting in the high court, ryanair, to block the pilots in the uk from taking part in the fight —— in the strike. they won a case in dublin today to stop irish pilots taking part in the strike so it will only be its uk pilots who are taking pa rt only be its uk pilots who a

we're going first to angela davis.an you talk about the legacy of toni morrison and then how you first came to know her, professor davis? morning, amy. i am still recovering from the news that toni is no longer with us, but i think it is important for us to recognize how her words have radically altered the lives that we live. she has helped to transform our collective sensibilities and also our awareness of the place of art and literature in the world. sometimes i think back to the slaveryhich i imagine before reading "beloved." and i realize how abstract that imagination was. , i think probably for the very first time, to menine enslaved women and with complexes, withctivities, inferiority. i think her work has literally revolutionized the way people all over the world think, not only about black people in the u.s., but how they imagine their andlives and their pasts their futures. i met toni morrison for the first time not long after the conclusion of my trial. she was an editor at random house publishing company. i

the irish backstop, angela merkel sees it as irish backstop, angela merkel sees itasa irish backstop,or various reasons. first, she wants to protect the integrity of the eu's single market. she also grew up behind the iron curtain and she doesn't like walls and she doesn't want a hard border in ireland. and there is also being whispered in the corridors of power here some scepticism as to whether simply taking the withdrawal, the irish borisjohnson —— backstop withdrawal, the irish borisjohnson — — backstop out withdrawal, the irish borisjohnson —— backstop out of that withdrawal agreement would be enough to get that agreement through parliament this time round. what you can expect to see today is mrs mckay to defuse some the tension starting to build up some the tension starting to build up between the two sides. mr johnson's do or die rhetoric has rather alarmed and bemused people here in berlin. there is a huge concern about what he has had to say about a no—deal brexit, the threat of that sends a shiver down the german spine. economically because it would be damaging to german bus

he said that 30 days angela merkel.angela merkel was talking about is a month of useful time, now in the sort of two months there are running up to the brexit date in which negotiations could happen and some sort of progress could be made to identify a way of dealing with the irish border in the future but that is very different to promising any changes right now to that withdrawal deal. mr macron made some strong comments before meeting mrjohnson, talking about, he said if the uk thinks the alternative is to do a trade deal with america, that will come at a price and leave the uk is a vassal state of america so he's pretty dismissive. the only difference i think you see between the french and germans is a difference of tone. angela merkel hoping for some sort of solution, mr macron to be more willing to be much more blunt. how will this go down in westminster? there are some interesting body language between them today, boris johnson and emmanuel macron, is a strong and long lasting handshake. it is the words that matt

uppermost in angela merkel‘s mind today, i suspect, uppermost in angela merkel‘s mind today, isuspecty of the eu single market. it is worth emphasising this, behind—the—scenes in berlin there is some scepticism about whether simply removing the irish backstop would actually enable that withdrawal agreement to be passed by the british parliament. so, a lot to play for today, but borisjohnson, it so, a lot to play for today, but boris johnson, it is so, a lot to play for today, but borisjohnson, it is widely expected, isn't likely to come away with very much. angela merkel has indicated that where a solution to be found that removes the need for the backstop, that's fine, people are ready to talk and listen but i must say in berlin and in germany the senses that is to come from britain and as yet britain hasn't managed to find any sensible alternative. jenny, good to talk to you. interesting assessment of what will be an important day for the prime minister today and tomorrow when he meets a macron and onto the g7 at the weekend. slightly busy. lots to talk about on the programme, we wi

angela merkel is sticking to the eu script., chief among them that for mrs merkel the backstop is a bit of a red line. she grew up behind the iron curtain, she doesn't like walls or borders, she doesn't want a hard border on the island of ireland, she wants to protect the integrity of the eu single market. there is also some scepticism behind the scenes in berlin that actually taking the backstop out would necessarily guarantee the withdrawal agreement even making it through the house of commons after all. either way here in hamburg they are going to be keeping a very close eye on proceedings today. that is because borisjohnson's threat of a no—deal brexit has sent a shudder down the spine of economists in this region and further afield. hamburg as a region exports and imports 6.5 billion euros to and from britain, last year's figure, so britain is big business. they are really concerned about what a no—deal brexit could do to the economy here. but nevertheless i have been talking to politicians and businesses here and they hav

angela corey is. state attorney here she has the final say over everything and bernie is like her right hand man and all victims of crime but as long as they know that there will always be prosecutors fighting for the truth i think that victims will continue to rely on this justice system. the stubbornness the same me it's like i refused to allow her to get again over my daughter's death and now that she's running for office and all this political stuff. she needs to know that people are supporting me and not going to support her that this could hurt by her not taking the offer it could hurt her campaign which it is. every day i try to remind myself. this is a gift. it's not the glamour job to think it is but. if you have the mindset towards the bush job in the world. i've seen the country pretty much from the cab of this truck. if i'm going to have to work the rest of my life. then i'm going to do something i like doing. i don't see this as and so i see it as an office. in the. i do have a lawsuit go

partly because angela merkel and emmanuel macron we re angela merkel and emmanuel macron were quite politedid not dismiss him as a clown, which is what many british people might have feared. because of that picture of him hanging, suspended... on the zip wire. frankly, he had an undistinguished career as foreign secretary. he did not earn the respect of other countries particularly. but he seemed to get on quite well with emmanuel macron. and there is a sense among these world leaders that he is somebody they can deal with. i think they did find theresa may quite hard work. some would say that she's not quite as personable, worm and charismatic as other people have been or perhaps borisjohnson might be. a couple of minutes left. let's talk about the weather. we may be in a lovely air condition studio in bbc hq. a lovely air condition studio in bbc h0, but a lovely air condition studio in bbc hq, but it a lovely air condition studio in bbc h0, but it is still gorgeously worm outside at the middle of the night. and it is not going anywhere, this weather. it is going to be hot until halloween

difficult dinner date with angela merkel. i referred -- on prime minister johnson's difficult dinner date with angela merkel. the president likened jay powell to a bad golfer who cannot fight. kevin: cannot make it up. the president continuing his attacks against fed chair jay powell, arguing he would like to see rate cuts sliced lower and he would like to see them do something to compete with china. the president, according to treasury department officials, argued that president xi jinping has something president trump does not. that is a central bank he can factor into. when you look at it from a broader standpoint, as the debate continues on to whether or not there'll be an economic recession, the president heading into the 2020 reelection cycle by attacking fed chair jay powell, who he nominated. david: thanks. we will talk to about that problem with china. in the meantime, let's turn to ben on tax cuts. we had president trump say he is thinking about tax cuts, including capital gains. could he do that? ben: it would be v

boris johnson is meeting with angela merkel. he is trying to convince the german chancellor to reopen negotiations over britain's withdrawal from the eu. he is demanding the eu scrap the so-called irish backstop, the plan to include a hard border with ireland. johnson and merkel have excess optimism that britain can reach a negotiated deal to leave the eu, but johnson has insisted that britain will depart, deal or no deal, on october 31. reporter: "no brexit," protesters shout, as british prime minister boris johnson arrives in berlin. for the first time since he took office a month ago, he met with german chancellor angela merkel. his goal, to reopen negotiations on brexit. prime min. johnson: we in the u.k. want a deal. we seek a deal. i believe we can get one. we can do it. [speaking g german] i believe is the phrase.

merkel, who borisjohnson leaders, including angela merkel, who boris johnson is leaders, including angela meet today, self interest will drive these leaders to reconsider their position on the role of the backstop and the withdrawal agreement? yes. there will be obviously, and you alluded to it already, there will be some industries which will be more affected. for example, 14% of cars produced in germany are being sold in the uk market. and other industries will be more specifically affected. but overall, the impact on the german economy of a new deal will be much more limited than the impact on the uk economy. let's widen this out and look at more of the impacts on the uk of a no deal. as chief economist at kpmg, i am sure you have done a lot of work on this. we all saw the yellowhammer link to on no deal impacts at the weekend. what is your current thinking about best and worst case analysis of the impact of a no deal in october the 31st? the first thing to bear in mind is that there are still quite a few unknown unknowns where we don't know what will happen. but bearing that in mind a

yesterday mrjohnson met the german chancellor, angela merkel, in berlin.enged mrjohnson to find a workable alternative to the backstop in the next 30 days. the prime minister said he was more than happy he was more than happy with what he called that blistering timetable. in a moment we will talk to iain watson in westminster, but first to our europe correspondent damian grammaticas in paris. just tell us a bit more about what sort of reception he is going to get from emmanuel macron, because the comments he has been making head of the visits don't exactly sound promising. mr macron has been sticking to his guns, and he has done for two years now. just around the corner here at the elysee palace, they are preparing for the arrival and police have closed off all the streets and mrjohnson will be greeted by mr macron in the courtyard there. there will be a formal ceremony, much like he had in berlin yesterday. but as you say, mr macron delivering a very simple message. renegotiation is not possible. removing the backstop is not workable. the reason mr macron

the first trip to berlin to see angela merkel, he appeared to sign up angela merkel, he appeared to signexit divorce treaty in the next 30 days. the problem is the eu thinks those alternatives will only emerge in the next few years, not the next few months which makes we think they will stick to the backstop that is in the deal at the moment, which borisjohnson are so critical of. next, the plainest of a head to paris to speak to the french president, emanuel macron. we had a briefing today from officials in paris where they said their central scenario, not quite the most likely scenario, not quite the most likely scenario, but high on their agenda is the uk reading on the 31st of october with no deal. at that point, the french see the uk would become a third country which means border controls between the eu and the uk. they also see the uk would still be liable for its financial obligations to the eu. —— they also say. let's speak now to dr daniela schwarza, director of the german council on foreign relations. she joins us from berlin. thank you forjoining us. boris johnson today said

but angela merkel has her redlines, and the irish backstop is one of them.any has never altered its brexit course. you really get a sense ofjust how close germany and britain have been. they've traded through this port for centuries. germany wants to keep britain close, but it values europe and the single market more. and those hoping that this country's soft spot for the british can translate into more brexit concessions may be disappointed. and even as it seeks to prevent it, this city, this country, is steeling itself for a painful farewell. what is striking when talking to people in hamburg and further afield is their sadness at britain's decision to leave the eu. it's not just about economics for germany, although germany is determined to keep britain as a closed trading partner and some would argue it needs to and it is an important trading partner and that is why the meeting with borisjohnson is likely to be relatively warm, despite not having any constructive outcome, it is suspected. it is worth pointing out that whilst germans reacted with shock an

the german leader, angela merkel, has given boris johnson the german leader, angela merkel, has given borisjohnson on his first foreign trip as pm just 30 days to come up with a solution to the most problematic part of the brexit deal. he has called it a blistering timetable, but says he is more than happy with it. he wants european leaders to change the agreement reached with his predecessor on leaving the european union. in particular, the so—called backstop, a kind of insurance policy to make sure there is no return to a hard border in ireland. another prime minister arrives in berlin to demand more concessions on brexit. prime minister, are you hopeful of a deal? it's a familiar tune, but this time the deadlock is stark, and it's boris johnson receiving the red carpet, here to tell the german chancellor that the deal hammered out between theresa may and the eu must change. 0therwise, mrjohnson insists, the uk is leaving with no deal at the end of october and claims there's nothing mps can do to stop it. berlin would not have been surprised to hear borisjohnson‘s condition for a de

but angela merkel‘s offer of speedy talks was gratefully grabbed by the prime minister.very blistering timetable there of 30 days, if i understood you correctly. i'm more than happy with that. before their dinner, angela merkel said the two leaders had a lot their plates to discuss — the mood between them seemed warm, but without a big shift in the coming weeks by one side in this stand—off, the uk is likely to be leaving the eu without a deal. and we can talk to ben now. what realistically are the chances of an alternative to the backstop? world, reeta, for which the eu has dismissed borisjohnson‘s world, reeta, for which the eu has dismissed boris johnson's demand that the withdrawal agreement to be reopened and the backstop is scrapped, but after his dinner this evening with angela merkel here in berlin, a downing street source said there is a glimmer of light where there is a glimmer of light where there was not the day before. i think number ten is encouraged by what they were hearing from the german chancellor, the fact that she has invited new ideas about how the

let's start with brexit and in the guardian, angela merkel giving the pma30 guardian, angela merkel givingm a 30 day deadline to a vote and a no deal. is this an olive branch or an ultimatum? most people interpreted it as an ultimatum. she alluded to the fact it would be great if a deal could be struck and we know the sticking point here is around the irish border and what happens with northern ireland and the republic of ireland. boris johnson is quite optimistic in his approach, given what the french have said. macron believes the most likely outcome is no deal. but boris thinks he can conjure up something inafew thinks he can conjure up something in a few days. those mps who voted against a hard line, that the only way a house that would be feasible as if britain could decide to withdraw from such an agreement unilaterally and if there was a time limit. gap and possibly strike a compromise are elements but this is the first such meeting with boris johnson as prime minister and one of the biggest voices in the eu.” wonder whether or not if he will find such a diplomatic welcome when he g
