theresa may has explained brexit means brexit.ment, and this is understood and accepted by europe. to what extent do you think attitudes across europe are now changing? over the last two months we have seen a considerable shift in public opinion. we have seen it in france. we have seen it in germany, where angela merkel has the support of a growing number of citizens and is leading the polls. we have seen it in the uk. nobody knows the result of this. younger people are more interested in politics than ever over the last 20 years. we have a more vivid political debate. it‘s of course awfully difficult, but it presents also a chance. it presents a chance for reflection about the challenges of the world widescale. and this is something we want to do together with the united kingdom, either inside or outside the european union. to discuss these extraordinary few days, we‘re joined by the historian simon schama, the fomrer ukip leader nigel farage, and the canary‘s editor—in—chief, kerry—anne mendoza. lovely to have you all here. nige

first, hard brexit — what some people have described as "clean brexit".s the uk is completely out of the eu. out of the single market, which allows the free movement of goods, people, services, and money, between all eu members. out of the customs union, in which all eu members buy and sell from each other without paying import taxes. and they all charge the same taxes on goods coming in from the rest of the world. britain would regain control. control of its borders and immigration. no more open door to people from the eu. control of employment rights and trade — a british rule book, not a eu one. control of its own trade deals with countries outside of the eu, like america, china, and india. many say hard brexit could cause economic damage, notjust to the uk, but also to the eu. we are the second largest economy in the eu. since the election, things have certainly become less clear. some people believe we should now be pushing for what is being described as a softer brexit. many argue this makes jobs and the economy the priority, more important than con

of brexit. of course, a lot of people, a lot of voters overnight like the fact he wasn't as extreme when it comes to the brexit views, and he never said no deal is better than a bad deal, like theresa may did. but at this point, it is simply not clear enough what his strategy would be on brexit. >> carolyn, thank you very much. let's get out to villa for more at downing street. significant doubt who holds the keys to number ten, theresa may, someone else from the conservatives or jeremy corbyn. >> not fans in the conservative party of people that lose elections, we know that much from history. clearly theresa may on -- under a lot of pressure from members of her own party. the only one that publicly spoken about this, the former minister under david cameron, she said she should consider her position, one imagines the shock in the conservative party are circling in the water around mrs. may. we're expected to hear from her in the next hour or so. on brexit, clearly, she called this vote, said to

ace of brexit, a slower brexit. brexit. is there anyway you could foresee britain staying within the european union? there's about as much chance of us staying within the european union as me finding truth very. there was audible spluttering across europe when in the lead up to the eu referendum boris johnson said, europe when in the lead up to the eu referendum borisjohnson said, you know what, we can have our cake and eat it, we can leave the eu but keep the good bits. from an eu point of view it's like me coming into this ca ke view it's like me coming into this cake shop and saying... bon jaw, view it's like me coming into this cake shop and saying... bonjaw, i'd like, oh, the blue brie from on top of that cake, or all those lovely chocolate flakes from that one and yes, i would like the raspberries from right in the middle of that ca ke from right in the middle of that cake —— blueberry. thank you. and offigo cake —— blueberry. thank you. and off i go leaving the cake shop to sort out the mess. we are hearing a

hard brexit. what underpins her whole strategy, that they are going to be too scared not to give us a deal. is that what this is about? that was part of her pitch. it's quite funny that during the election campaign, which eve ryo ne the election campaign, which everyone admits was now quite a bad campaign, she said if you don't vote for me you will havejeremy corbyn in the negotiations so you need me. if you look at how she's been depicted in the foreign media since the results and you do think she's more a laughing stock right now than this iron lady. that could change but i think you can't deny although she called this election to strengthen her hand, it's weakened it massively. of course, there's a bloke called david davis who is secretary of state for brexit. he is presenting a rather softer line in the past few days than he had to follow the may line until last thursday. but now, it will be very interesting to see what tone he takes and what approach he takes. interesting to see what tone he

i couldn't be clearer — brexit means brexit. the problem is, those key eu talks are meant to start in just a week's time, which doesn't give mrs may much time to rethink her strategy before getting round the table. so what kind of challenges will she face? we can speak now to anushka asthana, political editor at the guardian newspaper. and andrew gimson, who writes for the conservative home website and is borisjohnson's biographer. hello, both of you, good morning. how short is the queen's speech going to be next monday?! it'll have to be pretty short. anything that is contentious cannot be in there. why are you in government? you are in government to make policy. it is not all about brexit. our frustrating than for the conservatives that they are going to struggle. i wonder if she called by election notjust because of brexit but because of grammar schools. a lot of people on the backbenchers thought that they might not vote for the grammar is called policy. well, she wouldn't have a chance of getting that through now. she certa

let's talk about the u.k., hard brexit, soft brexit, what could it be?rt for theresa may is now so weak that she will be unable of arce through her vision clear break with the european unit. let's get to an edwards, rooted in the long haul. brexit could be a long time, you could be there for a long time. where are you with the brexit drawing board? will be back in the studio sometime before march 319. you never know. he is being distracted bloomberg as the biggest advocate of soft exit in the cabinet. we will see what he has to say it when he get is that cabinet meeting with the rest of the cabinet today. we understand on bloomberg, but he only agreed to serve on the cabinet if he was big -- given a bigger say. greene came back to the cabinet, the remainder, supporter of theresa may. subsite balance on that to the conversation. senior ministers are suggesting that the eu has been emboldened by everything we have seen over the last three days or so. there is a possibility of a softer brexit. on the other side of the matter what labor is not a lame party i

bad for brexit. why?onal has been defeated, they don't have to worry about populism on the continent any more, so they don't have to punish britain for leaving the eu, they can be more relaxed. you are arguing the opposite? i think it macron takes a long—term view you cannot assume all those eurosceptic forces are dead for ever. he has to prove brexit is a bad idea. equally, if he wants to push for a more integrationalist... britain has been a brake on that, it's been a bore. the brits being out makes it much easier to go to berlin and say, let's get that franco german partnership working together again and go for it. i think there are questions about whether in the long run the germans really will make the moves macron wants, decree on the transferred union, transferring money around the eu. i think they are still pretty hesitant about that. but it is probably his best chance, now, to get it done. we will leave it there. thank you both very much. four theories as to why the tories slipped back last thurs

brexit.ow, there is this possibility of softer. guy: kevin both sides. i don't think you have risen parcel of exit. -- reversal of brexit. lets the with the government comes up with. what is brexit actually mean? that is good for the pound. matt: mark, what do you think we get it theresa may does resign? bbc, she is determined not to. it may not be her choice. getid not get up -- we did movement on the pound. do we get more action if she resigns? say, it will be taken out of her hands at some point. i am not a political as it. -- political expert. will probably be taken as positive. one of the main takeaways from this campaign is that theresa may lost all faith from the electors, which means it will be generally seen as any alternate might provide any -- better leadership. ultimately, a new leader for the government would be seen as a positive. there is that uncertainty that would come first. guy: where are we going to see this happening? i have the risk reversals up. this captures a one mont

they want a soft brexit. they want to keep trade ties with the eu. most people say they want it, the problem is how that gets put into place is a question. questions remain that need answering. other world news. the cattle and regional government has chosen october 1 as the day for referendum on a split from spain. previouslyent has said it will not allow the vote it considers to be unconstitutional. is --ay the negotiation ote is nothe v negotiable. they were promised they would get a binding referendum. in 2014, they held a symbolic vote using volunteers to help people vote around catalonia. the spanish government has already reacted. we have heard from the deputy prime minister and she said they can make as many announcements as she likes, referring to the catalan nationalists. the big question is, what will the spanish government do to stop it? could apply article 155 of the constitution that allows the spanish government to suspend the powers of an autonomous region. they could start to seek measures aga

hard brexit, soft brexit, or no deal. me whether brexit could be reversed, and whether i could imagine an outcome whether uk stays part of the eu. i told than that in fact —— i told them that in fact the european union was built on dreams that seemed impossible to achieve. so, who knows? you may say i am a dreamer, but i am not the only one! yes, that‘s right, donald tusk quoting john lennon. he is hinting that the uk could make a u—turn on this. let‘s bring in chris morris, who often helps us on european matters. every time i mention that a senior eu figure has even hinted that a u—turn might be a puzzle, lots of viewers who support a brexit come back and say, what are they doing, this isn‘t helpful. come back and say, what are they doing, this isn't helpful. if you are an eu leader and you are asked at the door is still open, in a sense, it would make more news if you said the door was completely closed. it was perhaps a deliberate message being sent out to those who would like a slightly different type of brexit than t

-- brexit?ook off the table which was our membership is now back on. in 2015 when they won the election, they made the commit -- commitment. they have this rebuff. i would say that now in the new house of commons, there won't be a majority to come out of the single market. i think there is reason for optimism. francine: if they have this alliance, this minority government with ireland is confirmed. one of the positives is the eu has three conditions. that border if it sticks effectively between the u.k. and the republic of ireland sets a model for the overall framework agreement for the rest of the eu. the du p could force through a deal in that space in a way that ties theresa may to a sensible deal. i am less up a mystic about the u.k. remaining part of the single market. that is going to be difficult to square. francine: if you have people and this is a tit-for-tat for the single market, where we going to brexit? roland: i'm not saying it's easy. voluntarily taking the best deal off the table

we were told this was a brexit election, so let's take a quick look at brexit.tionship with the eu. but they've made it quite clear that no deal is better than a bad dealfor the uk. labour, that won't do for them, they would scrap the brexit white paper and put the emphasis on the single market and the customs union, and remaining within it. and also, they want to immediately guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in britain. the liberal democrats, pro—remain, of course, would hold a referendum on the final brexit deal, with that option in there to remain in the eu. and ukip, they would quit thejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, as well as the eu single market and the customs union. i can't go through all the policies and where the various party stand, but it is all there on the bbc website, to take a look, all the manifestos there. let's turn to the day's other news. eight people are now known to have died in the london bridge attack on saturday night. police searching for a frenchman who went missing during the attack have found a body in the ri

including the election and brexit. i want to introduce you to the brexit brothers, the brexit boys!to remain. one is an arsenal fan, one is one voted to remain. one is an arsenalfan, one is chelsea. and also to a local farmer. what have you made of the last 2a hours? also to a local farmer. what have you made of the last 24 hour57m has been a bit of a shock, to be honest. i did not expect the conservative party to be in the mess that it now is and it's going to be quite challenging now to get through the things that i hoped to see in terms of brexit. and you want brexit? absolutely, yes. i campaigned for it and i have not changed my opinion since that time. we need to push on now with getting it. i think this election has been hijacked on other agendas, to be honest. it started out with trying to secure a strong mandate for breakfast... breakfast?! brexit! and clearly it has shifted away from that. as a country, we now need to push on with it. i hope that somehow or other, we can get through the group ian, i'm not sure how much you agree with your brother. tell us your thoughts. wel

a manifesto to see us through brexit and beyond. for this, the tories' manifesto, which set out their aims for brexit. it promised to take britain out of the single market and have control over the eu migration to britain. to strike new free—trade deals with the eu and other countries. theresa may also said no brexit deal was better than a bad one, a threat to walk away from talks. every conservative scottish, english and welsh mp was elected on our manifesto, so obviously, we deliver the plans in that manifesto as best we can, including, and especially, on brexit. even though theresa may didn't win the election outright, today, ministers insisted the government's brexit strategy hadn't changed, but the political reality has. roughly half of tory mps in the house of commons backed remain in last year's referendum, and now, after this electoral humiliation, they may feel emboldened to try and water down theresa may's brexit plan. but the prime minister is trapped, because the other half of her parliamentary party, also livid about th

just brexit but five years of government is about notjust brexit but going beyond brexit do that more country that i was talking about, so lam going country that i was talking about, so i am going to be doing that over the next few weeks, and then we will see what happens on election day. my question is, with going into brexit, how are we going to ensure our national security in light of recent events with the terrorist threat? what plans have we got in order to secure oui’ what plans have we got in order to secure our cities and people in public places? because it really is becoming a concern, i think people generally are getting quite worried about going to events now, so what plans have we got in order to facilitate that? there are a number of layers to what we can do. first of layers to what we can do. first of all we need to ensure that the police and security services here in the uk have the resources and the powers that they need to deal with these issues. and we saw that terrible attack in manchester at the end of march we saw the attack in westminster, in between those two, f

brexit!he eu almost a year ago, but the debate on exactly how we accept, the terms and the priorities, has been reopened, just days before brexit negotiations begin. some tory mps are demanding theresa may has a rethink. and in scotland, where the conservatives had their best election result for more than 30 years, are promising to pile on the pressure. we will be looking to make sure that our influence is felt. we played a significant part in ensuring there is a conservative minority government after this general election, with the fantastic result in scotland, winning all those seats, getting the second in the popular vote and putting our vote up so significantly. a manifesto to see us through brexit and beyond. theresa may had wanted a much bigger mandate from voters for her vision of brexit, to take britain out of the single market, have control over eu migration to the uk and to get new free—trade deals with the eu and other countries. but, left without a majority, she is facing calls fo

this is the brexit timetable. negotiations begin onjune 19, a brexit timetable. negotiations begin onjune19, a week on monday, and have to be completed in two years. the 29th of march, 2019, is the leaving date. pro—eu campaigners out today claimed that the election sent a message. what the country hasjust said is, we do not wanta hard brexit, we do not want to leave the single market. it is about going ahead with putting the interests of the country first, finding a package which means the uk is notjumping offa which means the uk is notjumping off a cliff. others are doing that what some call a hard brexit, which involves leaving the european single market, is now less likely. there is a greater chance we will get a softer brexit than there was before the election. whether we definitely will, we wait and see, because there are many members of the parliamentary conservative party committed to a hard brexit. others we re committed to a hard brexit. others were insisting the election result changed nothing. win the european union faces theresa may, or david davis,

tax, terror, or the wrong argument -- brexit, brexit, brexit.k about other things in their lives, don't they? mistakesalked about theresa may made. how they cost her the majority she might have got. down toput all of this the tax? what ministers are now talking about is ministers coming out and talking. they say the thing about young people is that they don't vote. i have to say that last year with brexit, a whole bunch of people came out and never voted before but voted for brexit. they say you have nonvoters that say they do not vote. last year, nonvoters voted for brexit. this year, young voters are normally do not vote seem to have voted. black -- they seem to have a backlash. perhaps theresa may was a weak candidate. that became clearer during the campaign. -- way jeremy corbyn is a the things he finds difficult, he does not have to do that in a political campaign. he just has to make speeches. he is good at that. >> listening to theresa may, her speech in maidenhead, she talked period of- a stability that is needed. one thing that comes to

brexit is the central theme.lls devoted to the complex process of leaving the eu, covering areas like immigration, agriculture and trade. my government will seek to maintain a deep and special partnership with the european allies, forging new trading relationships across the globe. but this is a moderated version of theresa may's manifesto. no mention of tory plans to expand grammar schools, and controversial proposals to overhaul social care funding, reduced only to a consultation. there are 27 bills and draft bills in theresa may's first queen's speech including measures for a review of counter—terrorism to deal with extremists and protect the public. a draft domestic violence and abuse bill to bring in new protection and sentencing powers, and legislation to update and strengthen data protection laws giving people more control over their data. the queen's speech itself looks at what we need to do in order to deliver brexit, which is clearly something we have to do. the country voted on it. but also its about d

. —— you can call it hard baked, at brexit is brexit. first position paper of the european union. let's be clear. we are ready to negotiate, and we are ready to negotiate any type of deal that the united kingdom wants. we have received a letter that says we want to divorce. if one of the partners says they want to divorce, well, thatis says they want to divorce, well, that is something that we should accept. now, what is a problem today is that we get a letter saying we wa nt to is that we get a letter saying we want to divorce and that the same time we hear that actually we want to remarry, because we want to create some kind of working relationship with the european union. i think for talking about getting remarried we should be clear on the elements, on the principles of the divorce. —— before talking. that is a clear element of negotiation. first we discuss how to divorce and after that we discuss what is the way going forward. i continue to be convinced that despite the brexit, the uk citizens and the european citizens continue to h

i mean a brexit whereby we reduce immigration, a brexit where we don't pay a divorce bill, brexit whereke back full control of our waters and sign trade deals all over the globe. don't go out and vote tory, go and vote for the real deal, which is ukip. it's really only the green party looking ahead and saying we have a wave of automation coming in, we have to think about how we tackle those job losses. and also, we aren't going to waste £110 billion renewing trident nuclear weapons. it's only by having a strong team of plaid cymru mps will we make sure that wales' voice is taken seriously and not ignored in the way that it has been since the referendum took place, last june. of course, it's power here the parties are all competing the labour leader is just arriving in islington for his last pitch to the voters. that is his final rally there in islington. it'sjust going to start in a few minutes time. we will be the full live coverage of jeremy corbyn‘s final rally of the 20 17th election jeremy corbyn‘s final rally of the 2017th election campaign in just a couple of minutes. theresa may

the conservative ma nifesto hard brexit. the conservative manifesto largely replicated what she had said in her lancaster house speech in january 2017, she had said in her lancaster house speech injanuary 2017, namely she had said in her lancaster house speech in january 2017, namely that we would leave the single market in the union. there will be some sort of arrangement with the dup and the northern irish party. it may be it is not in northern ireland's interest to have a hard border between the north and south, and that means, we cannot leave the customs union, so is there now a possibility that we might stay in the customs union and perhaps give the customs union and perhaps give the single market? jeremy corbyn himself said we would leave the single market but that leaves a question of the fate of the customs union open. returning to the issue of the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, one of the key issues that eu negotiators, illuminate for us if you would how the dup‘s position on that and t

they campaigned for brexit, didn't they costume at they we re very brexit, didn't they costume at they, not only here but adverts in the other uk parts as well, adverts in the uk, england, scotland, wales, very determined brexit campaigners. they believe it is strong outside of the eu guy at the uk, but they also believe they have concerns about the border and this is because the only pa rt of border and this is because the only part of the uk to sherry land border with europe, the republic of ireland, and there are major trading links, travelling across the border to see friends come out work, get health care, so any idea of a physical presence like that order is something they are concerned about having that say in brexit negotiations is all—important. one thing to note that is worth mentioning is the fact that we are going into negotiations here at stormont tomorrow to try and get power—sharing back up and running after it collapsed at the start of the year. now, the dup and sinn fein have to agree, to get devolved government back at stormont, the dup saying they want that but there

thing as a soft brexit.means that we in britain have decided we are not prepared any longer to accept the free movement of people or the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. we want to govern our own affairs and take control, and that is brexit. you can call it hard, you can call it soft, you can call it half—baked, but brexit is brexit. so we should get to the table. mr barnier has had his first meetings, has sent out the first position paper of the european union. let's be clear. we are ready to negotiate, and we are ready to negotiate any type of deal that the united kingdom wants. we have received a letter that says we want to divorce. if one of the partners says they want to divorce, well, that is something that we should accept. now, what is a problem today is that we get a letter saying we want to divorce and that the same time we hear that actually we want to remarry, because we want to create some kind of working relationship with the european union. i think before talking about getting rem

but brexit, especially an extreme brexit puts all of that at risk. and that is why i believe so strongly that at the end of the brexit process, not now, but when the terms of the deal are known, scotland must have a choice about our future. a choice between following the uk down the brexit path or becoming an independent country. [ applause ] there is just too much at stake for brexit simply to be imposed on scotland. no matter how damaging it turns out to be. a future must be decided by us, not for us. last year's -- [ applause ] last year's election delivered the democratic mandate for scotland having such a choice. the recent vote of the scottish parliament underline it. if the snp wins a majority of scottish seats in this election that will further reinforce our mandate. in these circumstances, any continued tory attempts to block scotland having a choice when the timing is right and the options are clear would be democratically unsustainable. [ applause ] however, that will be a choice for the end of the brexit process. i want to be clear today,

brexit. brighter future awaits, she says, but only she can get us there. i want us to work together to fulfil the promise of brexit, too. because if we get brexit right, then together we can do great things. we can build a britain beyond brexit, that is stronger, fairer and even more prosperous than it is today. but the liberal democrats think she'd be taking britain down the wrong path. they claim the economy has already suffered, and there'd be worse to come. i think what people want to know is why on earth the conservatives want to pursue such a hardline, extreme version of brexit, which will not just take us out of the eu, but also harm our economy by taking us out of margaret thatcher's single market as well. so how do the party's approaches to brexit compare? the conservatives are promising to bring down immigration from europe. labour accepts the end of free movement, too, but would immediately guarantee the rights of eu citizens currently here. ukip wants a points—based system for imm

brexit or no brexit but between a labour brexit forjobs, and a tory brexit that he says will riskjobset's be clear, there is no such thing as no deal. if we leave without a positive agreements, we still have to trade with the eu but on what terms? that the latestjeremy corbyn. let's join terms? that the latestjeremy corbyn. let'sjoin ben wright in deeside. this is a bold assertion from the prime minister about britain becoming more prosperous after brexit. a number of independent forecasters disagree with that. how successful do you think she is going to be today, in moving the conversation onto the terms that she wants to talk about? it isa terms that she wants to talk about? it is a contrast to those forecasts. and contrast to what theresa may we re and contrast to what theresa may were saying before the referendum. she did not say a lot in the referendum campaign but she was clear ina referendum campaign but she was clear in a big speech she made that she did not think britain could be more prosperous, safe and secure outside the eu. in the last year of course she has a determine n

he was replaced by theresa may who felt that -- >> brexit means brexit >> brexit means brexit >> brexitns brexit >> but with just a small majority it wasn't until march that theresa may finally invoked article 50 of the lisbon treaty thereby triggering the two-year exit process may then took an enormous gamble calling an election to try to increase her majority, with it strengthen her authority for brexit talks but the opposite happened after a disastrous campaign. >> a very, very poor result for the conservatives. they have missed the majority. the pound has fallen >> reporter: despite the blow, brexit is still expected to happen here is chancellor phillip hammond speaking earlier this week >> we're leaving the eu, because we're leaving the eu we'll leave the single market. >> reporter: formal negotiations began on monday and the uk has a monumental task to reach a beneficial deal in the 20 months they have left the british pound remains 15% below its pre-brexit average the ftse recovered largely for the rest of europe the result has not sparked collapse of the eu as shown by recent el

citizens at brexit.y question this morning is, is this the generous officer -- offer we have been hearing about? what is the future for ge? we speak exclusively to one of the company's vice-chairman, john wright joins us on what is next for the business and the outlook for u.s. business under president trump. matt? matt: we are less them one half hour away from the start of cash trading after a mixed close yesterday. we now have futures pointing down across the board. not huge crops, but red arrows on the ftse, cac and dax futures. nowt to talk about right has markets are concerned in the bond market as well. we see the german ten-year yielding 0.25. a very low level as investors by a lot of protection. guy: let's figure out what is happening. most equity markets are closed. india is open and down by .4%. saudiday, argentina and arabia did well. turkey did well in terms of the currency story. the peso is up, the argentinian australian dollar. some of the metrics we are watching this morning, ramadan. i w

let's talk about brexit. do you accept the sort of brexit.he sort of brexit we now negotiate has been thrown in the air by this election? the position of the uk government is obviously weaker, because it was a strong negotiating mandate that theresa may was seeking from the electorate. we cannot disguise that. there is therefore more responsibility on the conservative party to unite behind david davis in the negotiation. equally we need to explore all the options and be very clear about what is at stake for the united kingdom. we are trying to get toa deeper united kingdom. we are trying to get to a deeper comprehensive free trade agreement also involving issues like security and foreign policy co—operation with our eu partners. that is what we are trying to do. there is then the issue of the divorce terms and then the rich to how we get to that free trading arrangement. it will always be a discussion about the transitional arrangements between the single market today and to the free trade arrangements in the future, because they will be diff

what does brexit mean...of course, silly. . . it means brexit. all the party leaders today were desperate to make that clear with their own modifications thrown in, naturally. obviously the debate that you didn't take part in, you are getting a hard time on social media for not doing it, having seen that do you think you made the right decision? do you think she watched it on telly with a cup of cocoa? if we only knew. we'll be visiting the most marginal constituency in the country, gower in south wales to see if labour can topple the tories. and in sunny skegness for a lovely day by the sea to check if the folks there have already made up their minds to vote for. thank goodness these two didn't do a theresa may and leave empty chairs. gracing us with their presence, caroline wheeler of the sunday express and jack blanchard from the mirror. hello and first of all, let's bring you up to date with the latest developments on the campaign trail — and today everyone seems keen to focus on brexit. theresa may insists only she can bring back a good deal

brexit dominated this speech.covering areas such as agriculture, immigration and trade. we wish to maintain a deep and special partnership with european allies and good trading relationships across the globe. there are 27 bills and draft bills including measures for a review of counterterrorism to deal with extremism and protect the public. a d raft extremism and protect the public. a draft of domestic violence and abuse bill to bring in new protections and sentencing powers. plus legislator —— legislation about data protection. equally obvious was what was left out of the speech. grammar schools, the cap on energy bills downgraded to a consultation and no mention of the reduction of benefits for the elderly. with the queen gone, labour lost little time tearing into the prime minister‘s programme for government. at their legislative programme from a government whose lost its majority and ran out avoided altogether. this would be a thin legislative programme even if it was the one year, but the two years? there‘s n

ukip says it is the guard dog of brexit.a may won't give us the kind of brexit that we really want. the party is pushing its broader policies, too. it has promised to cut immigration, improve security, put more money into the nhs by cutting back on foreign aid, protect british culture, and promote a fair democracy. the leader says they are prepared to talk about things other politicians don't. we have spoken openly about extremist islamist within our society. i have called it a cancer, said it needs to be cut out. come up with a load of proposals on how we could do that. the other parties wanted to ignore it. ukip had its best ever results at the last general election. this time it is standing fewer candidates in fewer seats. and the party is trying to prove it is still relevant beyond brexit. supporters are convinced they have plenty to offer. it seemed like yourjob is done, brexit, that is done. you're finished. no. we're not. fresh english strawberries! three boxes for a pound! not everyone agrees. i voted ukip last time.

could in any way pullback from brexit? geoffrey: brexit is brexit. that is in the manifesto's of both parties it the liberal u.mocrats, the most e. party, what they proposes a second referendum. what could happen, what could've happened in the postmortem is really people are going to be looking at the turn up at what caused the massive diversions in the polls of the last two weeks has been modeling of the youth turn up we know that was low for the brexit referendum. maybe that lost vote from the youth, close to a year ago, that has come back and they are sending a message. yvonne: thanks so much for staying with us. i know it will be a long night for guys. the head of u.k. investment at ubs. don't forget for terminal subscribers, follow the account -- count live. e.u. you will find the latest numbers from the constituencies reported in you can see the maps on the right side. that will show the state of play of how the votes are coming in. e.u. , left side. all the news you need. follow us on top live. let's get you caught up with some of the

wrecks it means brexit. may told us she wa nted yesterday theresa may told us she wanted to reignite the british spirit, and i think the challenge has been really giving some substance to those kinds of phrases, andi substance to those kinds of phrases, and i think that's been very misguided from a communications perspective, and obviously in the last few days the debate has changed. now the focus is on what the conservatives might do regarding increasing antiterrorism laws. but i think, for me, what has been really woeful has been the level of debate with regard to particularly the slogans we've seen. the tone has been, i think, slogans we've seen. the tone has been, ithink, unnecessarily aggressive. theresa may has told us she is not scared to be a bloody difficult woman. was that necessary? david, you are a man who likes courtesy. i understand and sympathise with what he is saying about to reason may, and i think the campaign has been very poor indeed, but there's been an electoral reason why they've ta k

a big one will be brexit. the dup passionately supported brexit until the rise of ukip.xit negotiating table. but particularly when it comes to that all—important issue here of border control between northern ireland and the republic, they have said as theresa may has set herself, that they want crossing the border to remain as seamless and frictionless as possible. so you can expect that to be high up on their wish list. clearly a strong night for sinn fein and the dup, but remarkable to think, women go back 30 years, the sdlp, with nothing —— when we go back 30 years. yes, the dup and sinn fein have taken their dominance to a whole new level, we did not think they would wipe out the sdlp but thatis they would wipe out the sdlp but that is what has unfolded overnight. dup gaining a couple of seats and sinn fein gaining three seats. the independent unionist is the only other party, so this is a disastrous night for the sdlp, having no seats left at westminster and there will be no irish nationalist representation on the benches of the westminster because sinn fein do not

but is it not the case that brexiteers are putting their faith in theresa may, soft brexiteers or remainersneed to get rid of her? i think there is no doubt that brexit is going to be the defining issue of this parliament and we only have a very limited timetable to work through, one year and nine months. what we cannot afford if the indulgence of talking about alternative leaders or putting in place somebody else for someone who i think will do a very good job and will lead the country to these negotiations effectively. you're making my point, the brexiteers clearly have more faith in her than any one else. you say this is no time for indulgence but it is surely the time for people to discuss and express their concern over the theresa may plan for brexit which clearly did not grab the population in the election. i don't think it was that. i think the big issues were non—brexit issues, most clearly social care but others as well. as far as brexit is concerned, we are now in a position where 80% of the electorate of this country voted for parties who want to take britain out of the eu. what

and then, it was on to brexit.o the single market and the customs arrangements that provide britain as the brexit secretary has pledged, and i quote, with the exact same benefits as now, neither must our victory targets for immigration be prioritised over the jobs and living standards of the people of this country. —— arbitrary targets. theresa may also began her speech by talking about the grenfell fire. one lady i had met ran from the fire wearing no more than a t—shirt and a pair of knickers. she had lost absolutely everything. let me be absolutely clear, the support on the ground for families in the initial hours was not good enough. people were left without belongings, without roots over their heads, without even basic information about what had happened, what they should do, and where they could seek help. that was a failure of the state, local and national, to help people when they needed it most. as prime minister, i apologise for that failure. she reflected on the election. our country is divided, red vers

, a hard brexit, business friendly brexit.hat do you think? >> very clear that theresa may lost her mandate to pursue that hard extreme brexit. leaving the single market and single market for goods known as the custom union. but the problem for theresa may in changing her position that she set up strict lines around sovereignty. so if the uk were to stay in the elements of the eu single markets from trade deals with third parties. they can't go to the u.s. and china and major countries and say let's do a bilateral trade deal. these two red lines with the uk says it wants a global britain and a freedom for trade deals. if theresa may changes her tact to a softer brexit she loses what she promises on those red lines. a very difficult situation for the new uk government. >> you're saying the folks saying who knows who is going to show up when these negotiations begin. at what point might they understand who is going to be there and how this might go. just from day one. >> well, we know that david davis is reappointed effectively

the border and brexit.n northern ireland and the concerns of brexit on that? how closely are the dup and the conservatives aligned customer republic is the northern ireland should's biggest export partner. the agri— food sector. the feel is if you get a hard brexit with no transitional deals there would be lots of delays at the border and no one wants to see that. in terms of where the dup stand on brexit they are where the dup stand on brexit they a re close where the dup stand on brexit they are close to the conservatives. they wa nt to are close to the conservatives. they want to come out of the single market and the customs union and striking new trade deals around the world but the big differences they don't share the view of theresa may's that no deal is better than a bad deal. they have been careful never to engage in that rhetoric because they know if there is a hard wreck ticks —— brexit, it will be tough on the border. it could be that they want to reason made to give them an assurance that there

we want open skies. -- softhave a brexit brexit the not open skies.to push the government to hurry up, you even have the french saying to the british government, can we please get going? it is rare when you're being up by the french. we will push for the continuation of open skies and that new bilateral agreement is found as part of the softer brexit. we will push london, brussels, to get a solution that works for the industry. guy: let's talk about ryanair. this is a an hour -- this is a long-term view of your stock. this is where can he joins, that white arrow. post your arrival, being nice to customer certainly works, expectations are pretty high. too high? -- thewhat you have wider narrative is the same. low cost airlines are winning. everything about ryanair, from res, thate lowest fa is what is winning. whatever happens with exit, that will continue. we have changed more than any airline in the world in the past number of years, in terms of how we improved product for customers and embraced digital. investors see the focused on cost, ryanair kno

or possibly even know brexit?> it is always hard to tell the difference. the free exchange of goods and people and all of these things to be a member of the market are not -- there is no compromise. >> maybe we should really define it for our viewers who aren't as acquainted. ahead. >> if you are member of the eu, the liberty of the goods, people -- >> free movement of trade -- >> and services, right. either you are in or out. there might be compromises and world master in finding compromises and problems that seem not to be solvable. there might be compromises if the process allows two or three years and everybody gets tired after that. you need an outcome saying that for the brits, we had a kind of brexit but in a way we would still be a member of the club but not with every right and the jurisdiction of the -- and then brussels -- in a way, they are still in but not in every case. this is a point we could spend the entire program on but we only have a few minutes left. here is my question. theresa may said in t

he believes brexit won it.lly people have been crying out for a change. defeated in labour, alan neill predicts the party will win the seat back. anybody who wins an election like that will be in for one term, i suspect we will have another very soon. in mansfield many people say it feels like a new political era. stay with bbc news if you can, we will keep you updated on all the latest on events around the world. you can keep up to date on the bbc news website. hello there. it has felt a little more like autumn for some this week and although high pressure will build into next week and we will hopefully see more of these skylines, this was sent in late on the day on friday, before that we will have yet more rain, strong and blustery winds with some sunshine, warm sunshine disbursed, so not a great weekend for heading to the mountains or a small boat. after the rain there will also be more showers following. this is the area of cloud, the area of low pressure that will bring be disturbed weather through the wee

higher prices, brexit, the need for a good deal.f warnings today but the economy has been far stronger than people expected since the referendum. i don't think there is any doubt that since the brexit referendum the pound has fallen. now, it is a glass half full or half empty. clearly that has meant there is higher inflation and that has had a knock—on effect for real incomes but on the other hand it has been a much—needed boost to exports, we really needed that boost because the currency was overvalued. it was a day for stepping back and taking the wider view on the economy. an economy for consumers so uncertain, mr carney said there would be no interest rate rises in the near future. sunny today, yes, but there could be more squally weatherhead. kamal ahmed, bbc news. could be more squally weatherhead. kamalahmed, bbc news. —— could be more squally weatherhead. kamal ahmed, bbc news. —— squally weather ahead. 0ur deputy political editorjohn pienaar is in downing street for us now. he's accusing the council of distancing himself fr
