so why this bayeux tapestry thing?e right, the biggest conundrum is continuing to operate... 80% of british economic output is invested in financial services. yes. to have that all cut off, i wonder what price britain will continue to pay or want to pay, in order to preserve this big advantage? at the moment, it looks pretty much impossible. if you leave the union, the eu, you can't operate in the eu without passporting rights. so how do you solve this conundrum? macron didn't help. he kept saying, in accordance with position of jean—claude juncker and donald tusk, you can't cherry pick — if you leave, you leave — but i wonder if there is wiggle room. the eu is in need of money, and britain leaving will leave them destitute of a big slice of money. if britain were to continue to want to pay into the coffers of the eu, which is a small price anyway, considering the huge advantage of the financial markets for the british economy, might not brussels reconsider this absolute adamant position? no, impossible. if britain is

and symbolism is clearly important to emmanuel macron, announcing the lending of the bayeux tapestryome kind of symbolism with the meeting happening at sandhurst? i think yes, they have decided to have it here and it is not just the two decided to have it here and it is notjust the two leaders, we have had a large number of the british cabinet here, along with their french counterparts, the fact that they were at this world—renowned training centre for the armed forces, that is of course part of the reason we are here. there has been somejoking the reason we are here. there has been some joking about the lending of the bayeux tapestry, which depicts the french taking over parts of britain and lots ofjokes about whether emmanuel macron thinks that he can win britain back in the sense that he has previously said that if britain decided to change its mind about leaving the european union, then they would be most welcome. vicki young, many thanks. let's speak now to the french journalist nabila ramdani, who is an expert in anglo—french relations. she joins us from our paris studio. thank

security, whether it is british help in mali for french troops there, whether it is the loan of the bayeuxe's more to it than those practicalities. brexit might not be talked about in advance of all of this but of course that is the backdrop. it's all about britain and its future relationships, how it will have these bilateral relationships with incredibly important countries like france once we are outside of the european union so we are outside of the european union so that relationship between theresa may and emmanuel macron is important. he has ambitious ideas for what he wants to see in the european union but the relationship with the uk will be crucial. it is no coincidence we are at sandhurst, today there is a lot of emphasis on the military. but of course it is about trade and the economy, and about trade and the economy, and about britain trying to show france that it about britain trying to show france thatitis about britain trying to show france that it is not on a back foot because of brexit, that we still have a lot to offer when it comes to intelligence and security cooperati

president macron talking about weaving a new tapestry, a reference to the bayeux tapestry coming to britaination on energy, on cultural exchange, security and defence matters, and on the border, as we have been hearing. this was really about setting the stage and laying the ground work, if you like, for a very close relationship between britain and france after brexit. as you say, it was about the bilateral relationship in its main part, but how much did brexit feature in their discussions? it wasn't officially on the agenda, although of course it is the agenda, although of course it is the backdrop to everything. theresa may has been keen throughout the process so may has been keen throughout the process so far to meet individual european leaders in other scenarios, at other summits and visits, alongside the process that is taking place, the official negotiations, and through the institutions in brussels. there is obviously that backdrop to everything, but i think that there is... it wasn't on the order paperfor the that there is... it wasn't on the order paper for the discussions, but pre

we know the bayeux tapestry is coming to the uk as well.e foundations for a future relationship after brexit. of course, the tribulations of the negotiations were never really that farfrom negotiations were never really that far from the surface. we heard president macron ruling out preferential access for financial services into this single market after brexit. straight talking from him there. but i think that both sides are very clear to stress that this summit was not about brexit. brexit was not officially on the agenda. this was more about the bigger picture, stressing the close alliance britain and france, that both sides say they will continue after britain leaves the eu. leila, thank you. if you're watching in the uk or northern europe, you will know all about this. there was wild weather last night. at least five people lost their lives across northern europe. chris fawkes at bbc weather earlier said he saw winds recorded at over 140 kilometres an hour. first, this film from the hague. let's move from there to nearby rotterdam. u n
