this is going to be interesting, borisjohnson has this is going to be interesting, boris johnson hasrussians in the recent past. yeah, makes for a quite awkward visit, i suspect. we've had borisjohnson suggesting that moscow has been guilty of war crimes in syria. he suggested that there's no case for relaxing sanctions over ukraine. 0f case for relaxing sanctions over ukraine. of course, the suggestion that russians have been up to dirty tricks with regards to cyber attacks. the russian embassy have countered that by suggesting that borisjohnson countered that by suggesting that boris johnson wants to countered that by suggesting that borisjohnson wants to re—open the cold war. it would seem much to talk about during this visit. weir told that this visit will be, during this visit, borisjohnson will be robust. there's no suggestion that this is co——ying up to moscow, but it might be in britain's national interest to engage with russia, as you said there, not to engage but beware. so plenty to talk about. there's another context here, of course, as well, we're waiting to hear what do

does it alarm you when you hear people like boris johnson the foreign secretary when asked about the of no deal, she says it will be perfectly 0k and there are many in your party who actually think it might even be better to have no deal, is it that that alarms you? it does alarm me because i think people cannot possibly know whether we will be better off with no deal, they don't know what the agreement will be all the negotiations are going to be, at there are some sectors, for example digital rights, aviation, for which there doesn't seem to be much of an alternative. there are stronger things like tourism, i think people wa nt to things like tourism, i think people want to know, that they need to fly where they ought to go. it is that he tell that we had to get into now, for mps on behalf of constituents. poring over this for a long time. it reminds me of this promise, that we are going to get many millions of pounds for the nhs which we have not seen yet, those who say, we are not necessarily going to follow that path. i think it is right that mps ask a lot of questions. now fina

negotiation is going to go on, that you have a bit of our money, we're not going pay that money, boris johnsonney, we're not going pay that money, borisjohnson says don't pay any money at all but it is an interesting bargaining chip to say we would like our £9 billion back. especially when it is to plug the deficit in the eu's own pension scheme. the pension scheme is a problem, we have an agreement that we are going to pay the pensions until who knows when, that is where the £50 billion comes in. a lot of a ccou nta nts the £50 billion comes in. a lot of accou nta nts a re the £50 billion comes in. a lot of accountants are working this out with their calculators before the negotiations began. it could be worse, they could be self—employed! let's move to a different story. this is the spooks. apparently the russians who may have it in for uk elections. yes, well this is following on from all the shenanigans which have been going on in america during the elections of donald trump, and the claim that russians, it is always the russians, somehow or other were hacking the elections and this has ac

this is what foreign secretary boris johnson said recently, let's understand what we're dealing withbritain through the prism of being a member of the european union. the nations of the world see and respect britain as a major power in its own right. looking from singapore, do you think that is true? singapore is a small country. we also are trying to make our way in the world and we find it useful and in fact essential that we are part of a regional group — asean — it is not as ambitious as the eu, it doesn't aim for political union or total economic integration but it is a life raft which gives your voice a bit more influence in the world. britain's international trade minister, mr liam fox, has been in singapore, just over the last ferw days — did you meet him? not this time, i've met him before. i think he met your trade official. yes, he did. britain now is very eager to begin work on very far reaching bilateral trade deals and obviously, as an important trading nation in the world, they are looking at singapore. do you think singapore...are you already in negotiations? we are n

we have had boris johnson accusing moscow of war crimes he has criticised cyber attacks as dirty tricks and said they should be no lifting of eu sanctions over the ukraine. so there will be plenty to talk about. but i understand this will not be an attempt to reset the relationship. the foreign secretary will stay robust where the two countries have differences, but as you point out, it is a difficult collision chip and the result on way to go to improve it. why now? the announcement on this visit comes off the back of a foreign affairs select committee report this week which did say that the relationship between the two countries was at its most strained point since the end of the cold war. and i think it is the importance of this relationship, throwing the new us president, his predictions about what kind of relationship you would like to have with russia, what we get from the prime minister and the foreign secretary is that it is better to engage them to ignore russia, and it is in britain's national interest to engage with russia.|j is in britain's national interest to engage with r

the foreign secretary boris johnson said we should not give them anything.not have a free divorce. if you decide to divorce, you have to pay the price, it is as simple as that. it will be painful in the beginning, but after that you have to realise you are exporting 50% of your exports to europe. it has to be a soft landing, it has to be flexibility from the british side if they want to keep good relations with the ex—wife, for example. there should be payment. at the same time there should be soft exit without problems, because it is in the interests of britain to keep good relations with the eu. they are angry and upset and we should understand that. i am not sure about the divorce metaphor, it is like breaking up a business. we have been part of what jeremy clarkson would call the biggest budget in the world. a huge budget. we made promises to participate in projects ahead and we cannotjust say, sorry, we said we will do this but we are not going to now. we can say that. it would not be right. as david said, the european parliament have to vote on the fin

the foreign secretary boris johnson has announced that he will visit moscow in the coming weeks, in anit will be the first such trip by a british ministerforfive years. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, is here. what do we know about what the foreign secretary hopes to achieve? he wants to improve the relationship with russia because at the moment it is poor. he is the first minister to go there from britain in five years and that illustrates that fact. he has accused the russians of war crimes in syria, calling for a demo outside the russian embassy in london, he has insisted there should be no relaxation of sanctions against the ukraine and in response, russian mc has mocked borisjohnson and said he's trying to a new cold war. —— russian embassy. the foreign 0ffice war. —— russian embassy. the foreign office are making it clear that this is not a besetting of the relationship, cosying up to moscow —— resetting. they said he will be very robust in the areas where they disagree, but president trump has started talking about engaging with russia and the russian leader, the ru

bride—to—be to ring of article 50, much more subdued than the likes of, for example, liam fox or boris johnson. philip hammond had always tried to strike a more conservative estimation of what their prospects might be. on the other side, you have angela merkel and —— jean—claude juncker. and that is only a tiny part of the picture. at the end of the day, it also involves all the other countries, and they have their own voices and wa nt and they have their own voices and want different things from the uk in terms of what their brexit will look like or what they want to establish in any ongoing partnership with them. so this is tiny. the other thing is, the negotiators themselves, we have the department for international trade basically hiring hundreds of trade negotiators, boring zone from canada. there is a whole to people that will be in this, many of whom we will not see their faces, but there will be flying around europe and to other parts of the world. and of course, francois hollande is about to lose elections. he is definitely out. angela merkel has a yellow card that because she could b

boris johnson and am perpetrator on whatsapp before?couldn't get access to the messages on the attacker‘s phone because of whatsapp and whatsapp is encrypted end to end. you remember the fight that apple had with the american authorities about the unlocking of an iphone which went on for months and months. this one will run and run. these silicon valley companies are under attack for encryption. more online. we will see you later. bye— bye. good morning. what a lovely weekend it was. most parts of the uk saw some lengthy spells of sunshine and in the highlands of scotland we got to 20 celsius for the first time this year with a good deal of sunshine. the week ahead, different really. a lot more in the way of cloud out there. there will be some rain to go with that, but with the winds coming in from south or the south—west, it will be on warm side. a grey start today for some of us particularly for central and eastern areas. a lot of low cloud and patches of mist and fog first thing so a slow start for many, but it will begin to brighten

british foreign secretary boris johnson we are told missed the group photo at the state department after the london attack occurred. there is a u.s. military briefing taking place right now here at the pentagon from baghdad with a coronal derek talking about bruce today to get coalitions forces closer to merkel 8 raqqa as u.n. talks continue in geneva. they were airlifted syrian forces including kurdish fighters within 28 miles east of raqqa today and while the u.k. police are treating this as a terrorist incident, it is not clear yet who is responsible, but not unusual, we are told, to see a spike in these kinds of attacks to coincide with high profile diplomatic talks for today is also the first anniversary of the terrorist attack in brussels which targeted an airport and metro station. >> shepard: jennifer griffin with the update from the pentagon for us. white house daily briefing from sean spicer on the mic in just a few minutes, and we will take that as we expect to get an update from the white house as well. you can see this is the attacker's vehicle, we are led to believe. all of

will it be boris johnson? could it be someone else? will this trigger another election? of those outcomes have been narrowed, so a lot of those outcomes have been narrowed , so some a lot of those outcomes have been narrowed, so some uncertainty has been taken away, but we have very little clarity on what negotiating sta nce little clarity on what negotiating stance of the eu will be going into the brexit discussions. so in terms of news about spending and which departments will get money, this time, it is likely to be fairly small and token and many are actually say he's storing up all the cash for a big splurge before the next election which is kind of after the brexit negotiations as well? the timing is actually quite interesting. as you say, 2019, it's when the uk is due to leave the eu and that would be the time that typically governments do go on a spending spree one year ahead of an election and particularly given the prime minister has talked a lot about helping people who are just about helping people who are just about managing. people who are being hit by the

night, insists she will trigger the starter brexit by the end of the month and foreign secretary boris johnsonary borisjohnson has been clear about the future cost of access to eu markets. it is not reasonable, i don‘t think, for the it is not reasonable, i don‘t think, forthe uk, it is not reasonable, i don‘t think, for the uk, having left the eu, to continue to make vast budget payments. i think everybody understands that and that is the reality. from the other side of the negotiation, an idea from the senior mep who was not a negotiator but will represent the european parliament during brexit. he says there could be some way for uk citizens who wanted to retain their eu identity. many uk citizens say i want to continue to have my european citizenship, i think we need to examine what type of special arrangement we can make for these individual citizens who want to continue to have a relationship with the european union. but how that might work in practice is anyone‘s guess. we are on the brink of negotiations that have never been attempted before. the risks for both sides are high. now, eu l

this is a joint approach by boris johnson disgusting google.rudd, both targeting social media websites. the times has led the way this week with some strong stories showing how social media websites are allowing people to have all this nonsense on it, and how advertising are inadvertently funding extremist, and this has led to a bandwagon, leading to some companies withdrawing from it. this is typical of politicians, jumping on it and saying they have got to do something, and they are right, it is important. google and facebook and the like do need to do their utmost to eliminate this sort of material on there, and they do need to take action. it is great to see this attention at this time. don't you feel like borisjohnson is like king canute, trying to hold back the sea? we are all out there putting forward out we are all out there putting forward our opinions, and to be releasing all of that simultaneously, websites, social media, it is a huge job. do you think it is not possible? it is not possible, if you ta ke possible? it is not possible,

we heard from boris johnson saying there was a lot of goodwill so no attempt to fan the fla mes goodwilltempt to fan the flames with the remaining 27 members of the eu but theresa may's political opponents certainly trying to turn up the heat. in a terrible pun, the liberal democrat suggested the prime minister had been taken to tusk by donald tusk. the key demands that the prime minister made on parallel negotiations and deals for industry, none of that was likely to happen and she had been carless to isolate herself from potential allies. ukip did not attack the government. but a tag eu leaders saying they are being inflexible. and seeing that they are brittle. if the talks are phased in the way the donald tusk suggest that there is a lot of emphasis on the divorce bill first before seeing some of the potential benefits of leaving the eu then some members of her party might start to say, if there's divorce bill is too high, we should walk away, get out with no deal. waiting times will be longer for routine operations, such as hip and knee replacements, as a "trade off" for improvements

i turned to for foreigner on fore -- foreign secretary boris johnson, he said, another terrorist attack we've seen time again is terrorist attacks at heart of democracy, and in case of the attacks against the houses of parliament this a very birthplace of modern democracy. it showed us how important it is for all of the world to stand up against a barbaric and continues assault against civilization. lou: to know that the terrorist himself of known to mi5 and 6, had been known for some time, radicalized and understood to be. but threat he posed not clearly accepted by the agents that should have been acting against him in an ideal world, it is hardly that. at the same time sadiq khan, mayor of london saying in modern cities as president's son donald jr. today noted, saying, o an thing, khan saying in a large city, this is what we have to accept. that is a mindless piece of resignation on the part of an official elected to serve, is it not? >> i'm not going to comment on the mayor or anyone element i can tell you that president trump, first thing he did when he took office was go to penta

i asked boris johnson today about all of that. >> what do you think of tillerson saying that assad wille cannot be a focus on assad's removal from syria? >> we certainly think it is right to focus on fighting. we also believe that resolution 2254 is very important and for the long-term good of the syrian people there must be a transition away from the assad regime that dealt so much death and destruction to the people of syria. >>> joining me now is the former supreme command ally leader. and richard stangle. an msnbc political analyst. welcome to you both. first of all here at nato, how important is it for the u.s. to reassure the alliance to be part of nato. did tillerson do that job today? >> it is critical. our strongest pool of partners in the world, andrea, bar none are nato al llies. i characterize it has better than nothing. nato had a shift the dates of the meeting. he parachuted in, he is leaving almost immediately, but it is better than nothing. it at least sends a signal of solidarity. whether or not that gains real traction in the alliance will commend on how much more inve
