to continue covering the one year bracks anniversary. contradictions contradictions numbers don't lie unless they're in correct or just veg and when statistics and polls contradict one another in emotionally heated arenas like the bracks that debate in the u.k. it can wreak havoc. the people and their ability to make a clear decision let's talk about jobs one common statistic typically cited by many verify all politicians is that some three million u.k. jobs could be at stake if it goes through now this is usually directly countered by big business so what do the people actually believe actually i think i believe that and i can see myself from a not to take here in an american. studio so what why would they stay here if they're going to pay for us and they're not to know what. i think i think numbers can be used to support any which argument you want and i think what we're in real need of actually is a real independent facts checking body that people can rely on to determine whether or not politicians are telling the truth so they'll be

so so jeremy clue coburn was very very clever and made the right strategic hold early on he said bracks said he said the labor party accepts breaks it and will enforce it that took that issue off the table in the general election many labor m.p.'s i speak to in the north north of england where there was a breakfast stronghold they said if we'd try to fight this election on bracks it we would have got trounced but they didn't they took it off the table and they turned it into an austerity election where they said no more cuts to social services no more cuts to hospitals and one of the reasons why bracks it happened was because britain is a net contributor to the e.u. so the main campaign argument was pull out of the you get your money back and put it into the n.h.s. the health service and schools and hospitals and other things like that and that's what that was the main reason why many people think why we left and even the conservatives learned from all of this yeah you need to be smarter with the pride with the prime ministerial candidate you put up to the country where you need somebod

the moment are not great she is the sort of the lesser of two evils the tories want to get through bracks. keep the things stable not spark another a general election and then move on to somebody else that can fight the general election twenty twenty two what would spark up a general or. there are so many hurdles at the moment and this is her biggest problem she has to pass this extruded she has to take britain out of the european union that requires about eight giant pieces of legislation to smooth that process through at the same time as negotiating base deal with the european union the most complex deal in british political history since the second world war she has to do all of that with a wife a thin majority in parliament any of those things get voted down and she's pretty much gone. you and many others have described britain's recent election you use the term botched how was it botched. she called it because she was so far ahead in the polls she thought she couldn't lose all she could do was increase a majority increase her mind give her a mandate to take britain out of the europea

s approach to the bracks of talks he sat down with me to explain check it out. the british have given a why on day one they've agreed to stop by talking about the cost of the divorce settlement and then talking about the arrangements after that they should have said we do it in power little i mean only work out what the costs looked at what the actual impacts are so they've been very spineless negotiators and i'm think as soon as they agreed to that the your opinion vote with got them ok so you say spineless spineless spineless leave us a light at the end of the tunnel here what do you what do you think a positive could come out of i think the positive is going to be the only one that's going to be successful if you use your i mean call up and gets involved in the negotiations as well to your spotty he has a personal record it's got more capacity to decide you know and opposing a negotiation than to raise them i the show in itself is being able to do and his lady was still going to be here in two thousand and twenty two they need to make a cross party get togeth

voters saw as an item at the top of their agenda for bracks it it's porous borders immigration safety who controls it is it the u.k. is it the european. in union and you can bet when attacks like this happen politicians on both sides use numbers and emotions to drive home the point but whose numbers are actually correct and who's convincing the voters in states way of living social media and everything else you know people following figures that they just pick up and they haven't looked into the bucket of it they're looking at he's saying it rather than what's actually being said as in any recovery the first step is acknowledging you have a problem figuring out a plan to fix it is another story entirely but there could be a clue in these vague numbers we see follow the money. in london lindsey france r t . we leave you tonight with a recap of our boom bust special coverage of brecht's it when your later as of now the u.k. remains committed to leaving the e.u. one year after voting to leave but the circumstances of britain's official exit as well as the effects it will have are still u

is if any of her rivals main cabinet rival boris johnson or the chancellor philip hammond or the bracks secretary david davis if one of those three decide i'm on i think i can have this i could get her if i get a group of us and go to knock on her door and say times are prime minister. it's my turn now then she could go. issue where she was popular in britain before all of us it's it's funny how things just move so quickly today it seems that she was this extraordinarily popular figure she had this honeymoon that lasted far longer than we expected it lasted about six months to a year and i was going knocking on doors with perspective and peace at the start of the general election where they were knocking on doors and saying i'm so and so from tories amaze conservative party that was how popular name recognition was by the end of the campaign six weeks later and we dissing some distancing themselves as far as possible so he's gone from you know the most popular prime minister over to the least popular prime minister although she handled the green photo or. not very well it was this it wa

hello thank you as the bracks it negotiations get on your way between the u.k. and the e.u. european politicians are saying that a door back into the union is open but that it will be a brand new door that the u.k. will still lose money if it wants back in why is russia has taken this position i mean does it also want the katoey war is it just making an example of the u.k. oh i think it's just playing games i mean this no prospects of the returning to the . specially if the conditions all that we would give up are rebates and we would also have to give up our op. ed the saying the reinforces the impression i have the no way that we can go back now. who holds to cards in the negotiations right now. well i think both sides have different cards to hold on the bridge you saw is the main one is money. when we leave we'll stop paying about ten billion a year into the e.u. budget that's a huge hole in the budget and desperate to somehow rather reclaim that money and sold these funny dumond's hundred billion before we start negotiations they also need free trade with the british int

and regains control over its borders which was one of the main reasons for bracks it. well i think both sides of the border is a special case they're working very hard to come up with a solution number of possible solutions being put forward i think because again it's so much in the interests of the republican bought into as well as the interest of north and. have open border to a halt border. i'm sure the problem will be resolved ukraine's blacks it secretary david davis is insisting that their recent may is good in dealing with european leaders on contentious issues would you agree with his evaluation. of the evidence is that when she was home secretary to paul to see you negotiations to go doing. base laws and home affairs and just as she did exceptionally well in protecting the british point of view getting zero tolerance when we wanted them so everyone more or less agrees the record in the sttng secretary was he was extremely good all right alan we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue discussing uncertainty in the u.k. political

well bracks it is going to be a disaster for ireland we cannot have a situation here where part of our land is in the way and part of our land is i mean if the good friday agreement strand to give the government the all ireland nature of. the alternate nature of that agreement manes that for instance we can't have two different regulator e standards in ireland so what we have been getting and the european parliament five hundred sixteen any piece in the european parliament voted two percent of the good friday agreement in all of its parts order to ensure there would be no hardening of the border in ireland and the unique and special circumstances we had that repeated in the gate lines were they confirmed that they should be the good trade agreement should be protected in all of its parts and then we had it in the negotiation directive so what we are saying to people quite clearly it is impossible for anyone to believe that to protect for instance the integrity of the single market is what europe wants to buy putting for instance a couple of causton points along the border a veyron and

it would be great if they were to reverse the bracks a decision so it did u.k. was a good settlement and we still need a better divorce lawyer. it's been exactly five years since julian assange stepped into the door an embassy in london and since then he's not left the wiki leaks editors saw political asylum there at the time as sweden was investigating allegations of sexual offenses against an artist polly boy looks over songes after decades now in isolation five years inside it's not exactly the slammer but this is how julian assange describes it in my situation. frankly i would be institutionalize this is. this is the world. vision. the world one well there are some i but i haven't seen someone so long. the wiki leaks editor has to rely on the occasional balcony address to fans and journalists for his annual dose of vitamin d. last year the u.n. ruled that he's being terribly to taint a person's then foreign secretary said he rejected the judgment and called it ridiculous london's metropolitan police have spent millions of pounds in taxpayers' money staking o

and in the ten to strengthen her bracks a negotiating hand she called for snap election and let's just say the idea looked better on paper may lost her majority as she is still struggling to hammer out a deal with northern ireland's controversial democratic unionist party after all they don't see eye to eye on key issues including bracks it well or do you prefer soft may campaign for the exact opposite. then things went from bad to worse when she avoided meeting with survivors at the scene of the horrific grand cell tower fire which left at least fifty eight people presumed dead her muted response triggered mass protests outside downing street and gave fresh ammunition to her opponents it can be acceptable but in london we have looked through buildings and look three flights left empty land banking for the future will be homeless in the pool for somewhere to live. exploiting her weakened position some e.u. officials are apparently looking to rush through talks as well to e.u. powerhouses france and germany are even suggesting a happily ever after is still an option if you don't want to

the bracks it talks right now so that they've sorted out. the schedule at the top one week per month and go back and gather and plot complete amateurism on the british side really now that you have got through it with what the negotiators should have read will they when to say the european union was yanis varoufakis is in the room because we read that you realize that the european union was prepared to gang up and intimidate and basically crush the group the greek negotiating team which they did very successfully and the british have given a lie on day one they've agreed to stop by talking about the cost of the divorce settlement and then talking about the arrangements after that they should have said we do it in parallel and we only work out what the cost. it worked out what the actual impacts are so they're being very spineless negotiators and i'm thinking as soon as they agree to that the your opinion what we've got them ok so you say spineless spineless spineless leave us a light at the end of the tunnel here what do you what do you thin

the do you have agreed to support all of the conservatives legislative proposals on bracks in a minority government in principle does not have to be based just on making financial bribes to two other parties for its support but this this option is not really available to the conservatives because they're completely isolated in terms of what they want to do in parliament. as a footnote to it speaking outside downing street the d.p. leader echoed series of may's claim that the agreement would bring stability to the entire country will continue to follow that story meantime the u.k. prime minister is also outlined a plan for e.u. citizens living in post britain after an unspecified cut off date seems to be able to apply for permanent residency so that families quote will be split up. i know there's been some anxiety about what would happen to citizens at the point we leave the european union. today i want to put that anxiety to rest i want to completely reassure people that under these. spite the reassurances the plan faced harsh criticism from opposition leader jeremy corbett discussions b

have been watching very closely because as we know that he was against a hard bracks it's something that theresa may was seemed to have been quite interested in and so far we have only heard from the leader of the following these agreements reached who has said that the exit from the e.u. will be something that benefits all parts of the u.k. so it seems that they have agreed on some kind of steps specifically that they intend to take forward together but again with a final this final deal to be released into the spotlight shortly we will have more details now we have to understand also that this is not a formal coalition such as was the case back in two thousand and ten when the tories had to form a coalition with the liberal democrats in a similar situation but this particular specific arrangement is something that is called a confidence and supply agreement. which is slightly different and here analysts have been noting that it's been quite symbolic that the two leaders to recent man the leader of the day you did not come out with a joint press conference quite yet we did see one separ

have penned a deal with the democratic unionist party of northern ireland which is opposed to hard bracks it something may has accepted as a possibility on top of that the d u p have been criticised for their policies on same sex marriage and abortion as well as previously acts with violent paramilitary groups in northern ireland not a perfect ally but the attendee u.p.a. m.p.'s have been crucial for theresa may so much so she was ready to pay their support again with a hefty price tag of one billion pounds to be spent over the next three years that's in addition to the previously announced five hundred million and funds to northern ireland and who is footing the bill you may ask as always the taxpayer taxpayer has resent politicians cooking up deals behind closed doors that invariably end with their cash being thrown wherever is politically advantageous rather than where it could be best spent to recently called it a good deal and the do you be are delighted if you think the same applies to scotland and wales think again this is the worst kind of pork barrel politics which trust rather t

may wish you could offer a strong and stable leadership and that she was the one to see as steve bracks that never told us much about what strong or stable was other than devotion to whatever it is that she was going to do and didn't really spell out a whole lot other than giving some indications of what some call the heart exit about leaving the single market leaving the customs union but otherwise fairly weak euro light on on details and and now that the she has the voters to give her a very big landslide victory and she and she lost that she lost her majority in politics i think it does raise some questions i don't think it raises questions as to whether or not people are generally poor practice that i think a lot of people think. westminster should kind of get on with it and get on with making this fabulous deal there are lots of different views about what the great deal would be that it's a year on and they're only just starting to sit down this week to try to hammer out what the actual deal will be what was in theory is becoming practice and i think you know we all wait and see wh

this may can now proceed with a bit more confidence that her government can pass a budget along with bracks that legislation as the u.k. embarks on its imminent departure from the european union. and overwhelmed with airbag recalls japanese manufacturer to has filed for bankruptcy protection in tokyo and in the united states the airbags made by the company can explode with too much force when deploying in a crash spewing out shrapnel that has killed more than a dozen people and injured at least one hundred eighty it's also created the largest automotive recall in u.s. history affecting forty two million vehicles to cause says it needs the bankruptcy protection to maintain a product supply and perhaps subsidize car makers for the recall according to to cut a more than seventy percent of the airbags recalled in japan have been replaced only thirty six percent in the u.s. the tokyo stock exchange is stripping the company from trading as of tuesday. well coal is seeing a resurgence in three major economies in the u.s. is leading the pack the dirty fuel had a record decline last year but its rec

in light of bracks it's some other challenges facing the euro zone recently how big with this deal. be monumental i mean given the troubles not just with breakfast but with greece and maybe even it'll italy it's a big huge deal they've been working on it for years as you say since two thousand and thirteen they've just completed last month their eighteenth working session so they're really dealing with it and. trying to get it done their goal was originally by the end of the year but hopefully they'll get it done within the next couple of weeks now japan is a huge trading partner with many countries particularly the euro zone number three after the u.s. and china so get striking a deal with japan would be a big monumental deal it's particularly important for japan we all know that they produce cars and telecommunications they also do a lot of medical in optical equipment trade with the e.u. and from the e.u. as perspective shipping export into japan cars as you know obviously but also a lot of pharmaceuticals and so it would be a good deal for both in really something that been long
