the other area where borisjohnson causes some concern is the other area where borisjohnson causes somek's government strategy, what happens if we can't get a deal? and he has warned, well we walk away. now various committees have said the government has to come up with a plan b in case we can't get a deal. in december they said not have a plan b would be a dereliction of duty. borisjohnson said we have no plan. if we don't get a plan, we don't have a plan. that i think will have caused some problem with some mps because that would suggestjust fall out with no contingency measures. and then to round off mr johnson's interventions he said that brussels needed to show more subtlety in the negotiation. i suspect that is something they think he may need to show. thank you. it is 17 minutes past two. the headlines on bbc news. that will be an inquiry into the blood scandal that left two and a half thousand people dead. a major review into working practices recommends better protections for gig economy workers and an end to cash in hand jobs. foreign secretary borisjohnson inquiries with —— t

then you have liam fox and borisjohnson, soft brexit.have liam fox and boris johnson, they soft brexit. then you have liam fox and borisjohnson, they want soft brexit. then you have liam fox and boris johnson, they want a soft brexit. then you have liam fox and borisjohnson, they want a hard brexit. theresa may's authority isn't as hard as it was. that is so sweet of you to describe the prime minister is having authority, because she doesn't have any! she can't sack anyone would do anything. but she is the prime minister. she is out of the country and she has left philip hammond nominally in charge. there are various useless trade deals that liam fox does and borisjohnson, they try trade deals that liam fox does and boris johnson, they try and keep out of the country as much as possible for this reason. the chancellor and the home secretary is not in it to announce soft brexit deals, infuriating the right of their own party —— sneaked in. infuriating the right of their own party -- sneaked in. is it chaos or is it that we just don't know

borisjohnson is telling the eu to ta ke borisjohnson is telling the eu to take a running borisjohnsonf they think the government will be paying vast sums of money for leaving the eu. we have started difficult brexit negotiations. there will be some concerns that he is going in in colourful concerns that he is going in in colou rful style concerns that he is going in in colourful style that happily eases the brexit secretary's path in trying to manage our departure from the eu because the british government have been told in fairly clear terms there is no prospect of getting a trade deal until we have agreed the divorce terms. at the front of those is agreeing the amount of money we are prepared to pat’- amount of money we are prepared to pay. if you listen to borisjohnson, he is clearly not inclined to pay very much at all. these sums i have seen that they propose to demands from this country seem to be extortionate. go whistle is entirely appropriate. he was pressed on the strategy for no deal. what happens if there is no deal and theresa may has repeatedly warned we will walk away.

borisjohnson would be a dereliction of duty.aid, we have no plan. if we do not get a deal, we do not have a plan. that will have caused some consternation among some mps because that would suggest we would fall out with that contingency measures, nothing in place at all. to round off mrjohnson's interventions, he also suggested that the european commission, brussels, egypt is to show more su btlety brussels, egypt is to show more subtlety in negotiations and i suspect they will think he needs to show that. —— they need to show more su btlety. it is said that look rather —— trump —— trumer is one of a number of british people who have volunteered and have been killed fighting islamic state. it is says it happened last week during the battle for the liberation of... the report said he trains with the military academy at despite lacking military background he was among the best in training and it says the thoughts and prayers go to his family. the foreign office here has issued a numberof one foreign office here has issued a number

borisjohnson seems to be sinking like a stone and there is an interesting poll which finds that borisjohnson theresa may, but they also ask, if people had to choose between boris johnson also ask, if people had to choose between borisjohnson and david davis, then david davis wins, which i thought was very interesting. i think that is because conservative supporters would prefer david davis, as they think boris has been undermining the party somewhat. this kind of speculation cannot go on... well, it can go on for a very long time, but it is not very good for the government, and it is difficult to know how they can pay attention to know how they can pay attention to negotiating brexit when they are busy briefing papers on how dreadful their cabinet colleagues are. and while we watch that, we are taking our eye off the french, who are taking their bankers out of britain. a p pa re ntly taking their bankers out of britain. apparently mr macron has spent the week being very nice to the trumps, and he wants a really hard brexit, to disrupt the city of london, a crucial source of income tax revenu

borisjohnson is will be any deal at all, of course.is johnson is in japan will be any deal at all, of course. borisjohnson is injapan talking trade, a picture of him talking to a robot. no one else is listening! she is sometimes called the maybot. this is sometimes called the maybot. this is bobot, or is being bald lists, —— boris being boris. talking about trade deals on what sort of deal that they could do with japan in two yea rs that they could do with japan in two years time but yes, he is banging the drum. interestingly he's been dispatched to japan, maybe getting him out of the way taringa brexit talks this week, but let's hope he making progress. it has to speak to various countries about to bring deals. the issue of trade with japan is timely given that tokyo has signed a free—trade agreement with the eu. at the beginning of this month, it is due to come in early 2019 as brexit comes in. that was the day it took four days ago for four years to negotiate it has been a lot of talk of the japanese premiersaid he a lot of talk of

today, it was put to borisjohnson double that.n of paying all this. this is how he responded. the sums that i have seen that they propose to demand from this country seem to me to be extortionate, and i think "to go whistle" is an entirely appropriate expression. this afternoon, the prime minister's official spokeswoman said that the days of spending vast large sums of money probably was over. that has been said many times before. but they also added that we will meet our legal obligations. the other thing that boris johnson our legal obligations. the other thing that borisjohnson said there that was the government had done no planning if there was no deal at all. that was contradicted, really, by the prime minister's spokeswoman this afternoon who said, as a responsible government, we are planning for all eventualities. you can probably imagine that opposition parties have berated mrjohnson for all of this. the liberal democrats, saying that these comments showed her shocking level of complacency and he was being glib. and jeremy

it is not very far ahead of the figure for borisjohnson which is i7%. the figure for borisjohnson whiche biggest choice was none of the above. party members are relu cta nt of the above. party members are reluctant for theresa may to stand now, and given the timetable for a change of leadership, there doesn't seem to be consistency even in the response. we've got conference in october. so, you know, she has that nightmare. she's got three weeks off now, apparently. meanwhile, jeremy corbyn, this is to do with his secret waca. now we can blown -- blame tony blair for corbyn. what this story says is that the local party in corbyn's constituency of islington north, they went to tony blairand said, islington north, they went to tony blair and said, look, islington north, they went to tony blairand said, look, he islington north, they went to tony blair and said, look, he keeps voting against you, should we think about getting rid of him, can we try to deselect him ? about getting rid of him, can we try to deselect him? and he said, no, the labour party is abroad church. this week is coming

is in japan welcome to the asia business report, borisjohnson is injapan today.refore talks that are likely to be dominated by concerns about britain's departure from the european union. boris johnson visited this robotics centre in tokyo. he has been talking up the strong economic ties between the two countries, noting that japanese countries, noting that japanese countries have invested more than $15 billion in britain. japan's political and business leaders are reported to be concerned about the state of the brexit negotiations, and although mrjohnson is not directly involved in the negotiations, it is important for him to reassure the japanese leaders. we discussed what japanese firms will be expecting from these talks. it is important forjapan to get some reassurance regarding their foreign investments. the uk is the second largest investment space for japan, and a lot of investment that japan, and a lot of investment that japan did was to export products to the eu. so it is important for the uk to reassure japanese companies that they will still be able to

damian green is first minute of state so during the summer last year borisjohnson had state so duringummer last year boris johnson had a state so during the summer last year borisjohnson had a short term in charge. i can't see that's been repeated this time somehow. you'd editor was saying she is a dead woman walking not long ago but she is still hanging on. how do you rate her chances of prime ministerial survival at the moment? not brilliant but every day she clings on makes it a little bit easierfor her. the biggest things in her favour are brexit negotiations and the fear of having somebody else ta ke the fear of having somebody else take over that the talks end up falling apart one where another because somebody new comes in, and the more important one when it comes to the conservative party as there would be huge pressure for the new leader to holding your election and they are terrified it leads to jeremy corbyn. the daily mirror has a front—page seeing cops quiz kids age four and this is an angle on the rising crime story we have been reporting all day. the matter have focused

, or suggesting 110w hunt, borisjohnson, or suggesting now is the time to relax this policy and let public that, it is more pay for everybody, how can they afford it? everything has a price, doesn't it? the options are you could increase taxes, and thatis are you could increase taxes, and that is one way potentially of increasing revenue, but there are problems with that. if tax rises are two great it can dampen economic growth and you end up taking in less tax than you started with. it is also politically quite unpopular. the government could borrow more and finance its spending that way, but that goes against a flagship conservative party policy which is to reduce the budget deficit, ridgers overspending. so that is a couple of ways, or it could just cut back on other government programmes. we are talking about a very significant amount of money here. the institute for physical studies is lose the figures that were, the political price, and again people don't like to see cuts. theo, thank you very much our top story; chinese president xi jinping is in russia for talks with his counterpar

also coming up — uk foreign secretary borisjohnson is in japan for talks where brexit concerns are also. but first, we start in the us where as of thursday, president donald trump has been in office for six months. he made some big promises on the us economy — inspiring a wave of optimism among investors. but most of them are still just that — promises. and some are now questioning the reality of trumponomics, or to use the new catchphrase, maganomics, — as in make america great again. let's take a look. the dowjones index surged on mr trump's election in november — and it has continued its upwards march after breaking through the 20,000 mark at the start of the year. it's up 3200 points or 17% since the election but political divisions are beginning to see the trump agenda grind to a halt. take his flagship policy — replacing the affordable healthcare act, or 0bamacare. he's struggling to get fellow republicans to agree on what should replace it. 0ne senior figure in the party is now warning it may take as long as two years for this to happen. this has raised doubts over political supp

was a poll in the other papers that said the person he would most like to be the tory leader is borisjohnson and face. the authors, and sure it they would sort of know who david davis is, they know phil hammond is spreadsheet bill, but boris is a personality. david davis is trusted in brussels, isn't he? he has done very well as brexit set so far. but he's not have to make any difficult choices, yet. anything he has impressed his colleagues by being pragmatic as well as an ardent brexitier. the suggestion is that theresa may could lead before christmas. is that the room? there we re christmas. is that the room? there were so christmas. is that the room? there we re so many christmas. is that the room? there were so many i’uitioui’s. christmas. is that the room? there were so many i’uitioui's. there christmas. is that the room? there were so many rumours. there was christmas. is that the room? there were so many rumours. there was a coup after the party conference, when they see how that goes and then the plotters move. but, will they actually have the nerve to do it?” don't know but i think

no response from borisjohnson this morning, but we do know what he thinks. his team told us...d listen to the pay review bodies who govern each individual area of public sector pay. this is obviously something we have to consider not just for the army, but right across the public sector as a whole. we will not make our decision on public sector pay until the pay review body has reported. and we will listen to what they say, and we will listen to what people in this house have said, before making a final decision. so, how do these pay review bodies work? professor alistair smith has sat on several of them. they look at evidence, especially where there is difficulty in recruiting people into thejob, where there were lots of people leaving. they listen to what the government says about what it can afford. and balancing factors like that, they come up with an overall judgment about what is the right level of pay increase. crucially, while the government can ignore the recommendations of a pay review body, there is clearly pressure now to ensure that they don't. but pushing up publi

borisjohnson has said something similar. how do they think it could be done?id how it could be done, which i imagine is what the chancellor is thinking. namely, it is all very well to call for an end to the public sector pay cap, but how will you pay for? the institute for fiscal studies said it would cost around £6 billion to end the pay gap, saw an awful lot of money, but thankfully all the —— actually all the signs are it is hard to see how the government can stand by it. we have had six cabinet ministers either publicly themselves or through sources saying basically they think the public sector pay cap should go. downing street meanwhile have been sending out rather conflicting messages. they certainly don't seem to be raining in any of these ministers, so when you put all that together it would seem to me, if you are in a pay review body, you're going to take the comments of the likes of borisjohnson, michael fallon and others as a green light to go above the i% pay cap, and bear in mind already last year when the teachers' pay review body reported, they

borisjohnson.avid davis, laughed off those comments by boris johnson about the "extortionate" demands of the eu. as we saw, mrjohnson said the eu could "go whistle" for an exit pay—off. appearing before a lords committee, david davis was asked about the foreign secretary's tone. the foreign secretary this morning says that, um, the money that it looks like the eu is asking for is "extortionate" and it is quite appropriate to say that "go whistle" is an appropriate expression. he laughs the truth is, we all read this, the europeans read this... they definitely do. he is not the only one, other members of government say things which absolutely blow the strategy off—course. you'll have to get the foreign secretary here to explain his views, if you really want to, i'm not going to comment on other ministers. but in terms of the tone, you'll find two levels of knowledge when you go to our continental partners. you'll see local knowledge in brussels, in which, frankly, i think they take an awful lot of..

what is the feeling of that, what is borisjohnson trying to achieve?are looking for clarity on what britain's relations with the eu will be after brexit and what that means for business. mrjohnson is not directly involved in brexit negotiations but as a senior official, it is important for him to reassure japan's leaders because of the important trading relationship. japanese companies have invested more than $50 billion in the uk and the uk is the second—biggest destination for japanese the uk is the second—biggest destination forjapanese foreign direct investment. to give you more numbers, more than 1,000 japanese firms operate in britain, including toyota nissan, factories employing thousands of workers across the country. what is interesting, japanese foreign direct investment spiked after the brexit referendum last year. according to data from capital economic is. that shows continued confidence. but that sentiment could change depending on whether we see a hard brexit or a soft brexit. there is the question of whether the uk and japan could signa

in response to comments from borisjohnson, michel barnier says he can't hear any whistling, only a clock ticking. a royal procession for the king and queen of spain. the queen formally welcomes king felipe and queen letizia to the uk as they begin a three—day visit. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. exactly four weeks after the fire at grenfell tower, which killed at least 80 people, the new leader of kensington and chelsea has promised that the council will use some of its reserves to build homes, to help the families who've lost theirs. elizabeth campbell said people who survived the fire will take a generation to trust the council again. mps are debating the inquiry into the fire this afternoon. in the last few minutes, the latest victim to be formally identified has been named as 22—year—old zainab deen. frankie mccamley reports. stepping into grenfell towler, climbing the stairs to what was people's homes. investigators have so far recovered 32 bodies from at least 80 believed to be dead or still missing. it's a meticulous process, some victims may never be identified. i feel

we've seen big beasts like borisjohnson and michael gove flexing their muscles, suggesting it needs tocan be done without fiscal pressures . but it can be done without fiscal pressures. what we saw today was theresa may trying to douse that whole momentum, expectation that there's going to be any early gift on the public sector pay cap. so going out of her way to stress the need to take tough decisions, to get the deficit down and live within1‘s means, saying alternatives would mean going down the road of greece, with cuts to the nhs of up to 30% because they didn't stick to bearing down on the deficit. all this after the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, accused theresa may's government of flip—flopping and floundering over pay. wages are rising by 2.1% while inflation is nearly 3%. 6 million workers already earn less than the living wage. what does the prime minister think that tells us about seven years of a conservative government, and what it's done to the living standards of those people on whom we all rely? to get our public services, health services, delivered to us? striking that

the eu's chief brexit negotiator venting his feelings, first on this, what borisjohnson said yesterdayom this country seem to me to be extortionate and i think to go whistle is an entirely appropriate expression. i'm not hearing any whistling. just the clock ticking. that's because time to reach a deal is slipping by. "it's not a ransom in any way", said mr barnier. "it's not an exit bill, a punishment, a revenge". adding, "we have to settle the accounts before we can discuss future ties with the uk". another of michel barnier‘s frustrations — he's produced nine publicly available documents on these areas under negotiations, setting out the eu's position. david davis has produced one, on citizens, so the eu side doesn't know what the uk wants. he knows that must be impossible. in the commons today, the brexit secretary sought to laugh it all off, but emily thornbury, standing in forjeremy corbyn, was making the same complaint. what is the plan in the event no deal is reached? on march the 12th he said that there was a plan, on march the 17th he said that there wasn't. on may the 19th h

sources close to borisjohnson have made it clear he wants a better deal for workers. a case—by—case basis. let's speak to our chief political correspondent, vicki young, at westminster. a long time since we said boris johnsonjoins michael a long time since we said boris johnson joins michael gove in anything! yes, the floodgates have opened and they are hammering to get on the airwaves to talk about this issue. downing street very much trying to say, we will look at this as the pay review comes forward. we will look at the recommendations. but not building up of a lot will change. they do say there will be a budget in the autumn. and everybody looking at that to see if things might change. i am joined by conservative mp johnny mercer, might change. i am joined by conservative mpjohnny mercer, one of the first to raise this issue, and you have set the trend for your collea g u es and you have set the trend for your colleagues to call out against this. what you make of it? i think it is positive. at politics, we get excited about who said what and when. it is a question

, with boris johnson tactically with theresa may in italy, with borisjohnson tactically in australia.ould have a three—year wait and see period until 2022. not so, apparently. liam fox says that would not work. clearly not consented in the cabinet as was reported yesterday. given what is going on in the white house at the moment. repeal bill is in tatters. revolving door manically swinging. liam fox fizzing with excitement and gushing with his process to find those guys in america. you would not normally associate those words with a politician. neither a glass half—full half empty man. whether it is fizzing or not. i am scottish, the glass can never be big enough. michael gove and liam fox arch brexit campaigners. he is delighted, forget chlorinated chickens. he does add, they understand that at the moment we are only able to talk about what it is we want to talk about. basically sums up brexit so far. france. macron bringing in a new way of working. but the hello continuing to fake? i consider him the sun king. accurately, likening him to tony blair, who founded the centre is to wait

this was the british foreign secretary borisjohnson — on any long—term financial obligations the uk will propose to demand from the country seem to be extortionate. go whistle is entirely appropriate expression was ‘go whistle', by the way, means to ask for something you don't have much chance of getting. today, the eu's brexit negotiator michel barnier responded to that comment. how i am not hearing any whistling, just the clock ticking. he worked on that line, it's done. this ‘exit bill‘ is one of the key sticking points. it could include the uk's share of eu commitments due before the brexit deadline, as well as pension payments for eu staff — amongst other obligations. michel barnier also mentioned the rights of eu citizens‘ in the uk — we already know the eu is not satisfied with the uk‘s current offer on that issue. and he said the european court ofjustice had to be the "ultimate guarantor" of those citizens rights — the uk government has ruled that out. something has to give. when you see this clip, you can see how he came to that conclusion. we have published nine new position pa

a slightly mixed reaction from downing street to borisjohnson, because, reaction from downing streetorce bill from the eu before you can have discussions the government really wa nts to discussions the government really wants to have on trade. they might have upset the backbenchers if they contradicted boris completely so downing street tell me, they said the days of giving vast sums of money to the eu are over but they made the point britain would meet its legal obligations when it comes to coughing up. elsewhere they were slapping boris down when it comes to the idea of a no deal. he said it was vanishingly small. what the prime minister said was that no deal is better than a bad deal. brexit secretary david davis has said the government is planning for all contingencies and it is clear downing street sided with the less colourful language of david davis and they said not only was it right to plan for every contingency but that planning was already going on across government departments, very different from the phrase boris johnson used in which he said there is no plan for no deal

no response from borisjohnson this morning, but we do know what he thinks. his team told us... to the pay review bodies who govern each individual area of public sector pay. this is obviously something we have to consider not just for the army, but right across the public sector as a whole. we will not make our decision on public sector pay until the pay review body has reported. and we will listen to what they say, and we will listen to what people in this house have said, before making a final decision. so how do these pay review bodies work? professor alistair smith has sat on several of them. they look at evidence, especially where there is difficulty in recruiting people into thejob, where there were lots of people leaving. they listen to what the government says about what it can afford. and balancing factors like that, they come up with an overall judgment about what is the right level of pay increase. crucially, while the government can ignore the recommendations of a pay review body, there is clearly pressure now to ensure that they don't. but pushing up public sector

cuts in history, forced through by boris johnson. the biggest cuts in history, forced through by borisjohnsonire stations taken out of service, and that means that the very first response to the grenfell tower fire, there were fire engines that would have been there a few yea rs that would have been there a few years ago, but are no longer there. they could have got there quicker. soi they could have got there quicker. so i think all of that needs to be built into the discussion about how we make sure people are safe in their homes. as far as you are aware, what are the changes that have been made in other parts of the country by colleagues in other fire services, because they have seen what you have had to deal with here? well, it will be a big wake—up call for everyone, if you take high reach appliances, there have been reductions in recent years. in other fire services, they are not permanently crewed. so the is a question of making them available to —— of public ruin, and in my view and the view of the union —— of permanent crewing. and there is also the question of how fast we get to fir
