but it's more brexit disruption. the prime minister's had other problems, shoulder to shoulder in support of bombardier, canadian aerospace company, which employs thousands in northern ireland, now accused of breaking trade rules in the usa. it was also time to talk trade after brexit and again, the canadian leader wanted to be helpful. within the european union, the uk is the largest trading partner that canada has. so the uk was deeply involved throughout those negotiations towards cita over the past seven years. it will form the basis for the way we move forward in a post—brexit europe. places to go, people to see. the latest visit had gone well. butjust now, the next upset, the next setback never seems very far away. the boss of ryanair has apologised for "messing up", after the airline announced it's cancelling a0 to 50 flights every day for the next six weeks. michael o'leary blamed mistakes in allocating leave for his pilots, and said ryanair could face a compensation bill of 18 million. here's richard westcot

a lot of brexit!rones, that show of unity that we had before the fraud speech made by theresa may it seems all to have been an illusion. we are under no illusion that she's not trying to hold it together, she is, we know that. but is it to be believed, is this the feud that the paper is actually want. let's look at the daily mail on sunday. they all seem to have been briefing and aides seem to have been briefing and aides seem to have been briefing and aides seem to have been briefing all day and the chief source of enmity in the cabinet seems to be the chancellor and boris, on different sides on brexit. and it seems as though johnson is claiming victory for this latest version of how brexit will play out. that we have a two—year transition period after 2019. it seems philip hammond wanted a longer period. and boris johnson seems philip hammond wanted a longer period. and borisjohnson feels that he has prevailed and he has won the day. just looking at the sunday times, revealed plot by cabinet to seiz

what i want from the brexit talks, and what borisjohnson wants from the brexit talks, and all of us aroundabinet table want, is the best possible deal for britain, that secures our future outside the eu and keeps a close relationship with our current european partners. meanwhile, the scottish conservative leader, ruth davidson, has criticised what she calls overoptimism about brexit, which sells people short on the complicated process. theresa may would rather the party's focus was improving the lives of working people. brexit is important but, she claims, firmly under control. at the eu leaders' gathering in tallinn, the prime ministerfound herself on the sidelines. her challenge back home is to make sure she's not overshadowed and remains centrestage. jonathan blake, bbc news. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent jonathan blake and asked him how many more times boris johnson can continue to intervene in the brexit debate without the prime minister taking action against him. it's another broadside from the foreign secretary on brexit. he was accused a couple of weeks ago of back

the fact that they managed to avoid having a fight about brexit has set quite a high bar as about brexitbar as far as the conservative party conference is concerned. and i think a lot of people will be talking about how jeremy corbyn a lot of people will be talking about howjeremy corbyn can be defeated at the next election, whenever that is. i think there will bea whenever that is. i think there will be a lot of talk about housing policy. there will be a lot of talk about urban renewal. there'll be a lot of talk about social mobility. one area of focus will be how win back some of the students who have flocked to jeremy back some of the students who have flocked tojeremy corbyn in their d roves flocked tojeremy corbyn in their droves earlier this year. there will bea droves earlier this year. there will be a lot of talk about what went wrong at the election and what could go better next time. very good to talk to you. thank you for your time. us military and emergency relief teams have increased aid efforts for puerto rico amid growing criticism of the response to the hurricanes which r

—— a good dealfor brexit getting ai good dealfor brexit —— a good deal for brexit with the europeandeal, but also a good ongoing relationship in relation to other matters like security. i've spoken in the past of the deep and special partnership that we want to build with the european union. so he wasn't in charge, theresa may was. boris johnson's at the wasn't in charge, theresa may was. borisjohnson‘s at the un in new york, waiting for theresa may, making no excuses for writing his own brexit script, just mixing with the powerful and wondering why all the powerful and wondering why all the fuss. as for back-seat driving, honestly, there's one driver in this car, to use amber's metaphor, which is often used, quite rightly, it's theresa. people want to know where we're going. i think that it's a good thing to have a bit of an opening drum roll about what this country can do. cabinet splits are widening and now michael gove is among boris johnson's friends. widening and now michael gove is among borisjohnson‘s friends. he's been friend, enemy, now friend again. serving tea to journal

he was running the brexit department as the same time running the brexit negotiations and this was toowill now be working to theresa may by theresa may to strengthen her hold brexit negotiations. that said, there are plenty of people in whitehall who have been flagging up these strained personal relations between the brexit secretary david davis and oliver robins. the suggestion being that the two men frankly, did not get on and it wasn't working. that was the reason he has been moved into the cabinet office. any way you cut and slice it, it seems to me, it can only compound the demands for clarity by eu negotiators from britain over its approach to brexit. notjust britain over its approach to brexit. not just because of britain over its approach to brexit. notjust because of the movement, the removal of oliver robins, but also the ructions over russjohnson and his stance on brexit. and q. at 5:30pm we will bring you a news conference between theresa may and the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. she is discussing a future trade deal with the uk. we will bring that to you when it h

he's clearly concerned, as side of brexit. he's clearly concerned , as are side of brexit.rexiteers, that britain could end up the worst of all worlds, not com pletely up the worst of all worlds, not completely out and still pay money in. the advantages he sees of leaving will not be there. it's interesting that even some conservatives and remainers are saying at least he's putting forward a positive vision. that was the whole point up the speech or article. to put pressure on theresa may not to give too much ground to what he sees as the philip hammond view that, or the labour party view, that after brexit we will essentially be in the same relationship with the eu as we were before. he doesn't think that's a sustainable position and he's making his view clear. 0bviously personal ambition comes into it as well. because everybody thinks that theresa may will not be leading the conservative party into the next general election. everybody‘s state m e nts general election. everybody‘s statements now are against the background of that fact. boris johnson positioning for success

there was only one mention of brexit. regrettable but said brexit isn't everything. and that britain would regret it also. 0n trade, he said the eu should open talks with australia and new zealand with an aim to agree deals by late 2019. other economic agreements with mexico and south america were also in the pipeline. he suggested a full european defence union should be created over the next decade. and that the requirement for unanimous votes on foreign policy should be ended to allow for quick decision—making. the schengen area, the passport free travel zone could also be extended to bulgaria, romania, and eventually croatia. but presidentjuncker ruled out turkeyjoining the eu for the foreseeable future, condemning the detention ofjournalist by president erdogan‘s regime. he did however call for the creation of some eu jobs new structural reform could be created over member states and he suggested his own post as president of the european commission should be merged with the presidency of the european council. he said

brexit is now a june. the most eye—catching plot thread is the political one, and the star is, of course, borisjohnson. with model much rolling brexit he tried to lead the debate this weekend with this own 4000 word vision for how it might go. today we got the official reaction from the prime minister on her visit to canada. the uk government is driven from the front and we all have the same destination in our sites. that is getting a good dealfor same destination in our sites. that is getting a good deal for brexit with the european union. we also had the official borisjohnson follow—up. trying to look like a tea m follow—up. trying to look like a team player he echoed the prime minister's language. as for backseat driving, honestly, there is one driver in this. to use amber's metaphor, it is teresa. but there's another drama behind the scenes. brexit has been led by the prime minister, brexit secretary david davis and also lesser known civil servant 0liver robbins, who's been running the department for e

they're reassurance i time for a smooth brexit? they're reassurance i can time for a smooth brexit?s a real political will on both sides of this negotiation to resolve this in a way which sees the border is open and free flowing after brexit as it is today, and this transition period gives us longer to make sure that we reach the deal we need to make sure it happens. thanks forjoining us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 1040 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are randeep ramesh, chief leader writer at the guardian and kate devlin, deputy political editor of the sunday express. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may has proposed that britain should stay a part of key aspects of the eu for two years after brexit — in what she's described as an "implementation period." an 18—year—old man is charged with attempted murder — after the bomb attack on a london underground train last week. the taxi app uber is to lose its licence to operate in london — putting thousands of drivers' jobs at risk. sport now an

let us move on to brexit. it seems to have been a long time coming.ter in firing line over mps brexit letter. who is in the firing line and white? there is a minister in the department who are part of a watt sub group of mps who want a very ha rd watt sub group of mps who want a very hard brexit and these people who are part of the government have privately urged mps to back a public policy, a letter to the newspapers which says we want a hard brexit, no transition, we want to be able to sign trade deals when we leave in 2019 which is directly opposed to the policy that the chancellor is pushing and if you have collective responsibility in government, you cannot have people who are ministers who are privately urging people to subvert the government policy. they are ina subvert the government policy. they are in a lot of trouble and i am afraid it is part of the example in which a small group of hard brexiteers tried to push the country to do something that anyone involved in business or trade or services is anxious about, because it if we have anxious

british brexit bill is going to be in the end, notjust the money british brexit bill is going to be in end, not just the money we're talking about while we are in this implementation period. the times, theresa may agreeing the transition deal, keeping britain in the eu until 2020. i suppose it shows how important tone is. remember what theresa may sounded like before the election, it was a much more dismissive no—nonsense tone a few months ago. this ends the facade of no deal being better than a bad deal because quite clearly we are prepared to countenance a pretty bad deal, a lever. i think —— if you are a lever. i think kate is right to say that this is a conciliatory speech because the one at the party conference is not going to be conciliatory, it will be waving the flag and playing to her base, and thatis flag and playing to her base, and that is where the difficulties will be because the europeans are going to think that the bottom line is what, exactly? nota to think that the bottom line is what, exactly? not a lot on ireland, not a lot on citizens‘ rights, is this really the en

allegedly she has agreed a £50 billion brexit deal, so she wa nts to a pprove £50 billion brexit deal this after the conservative party conference in 0ctober, conservative party conference in october, in a bid to try and kickstart talks with the european union, and britain would pay between £7 billion and £17 billion a year to brussels, and downing street com pletely brussels, and downing street completely denying this and saying there is no truth in it. a source close to tim shipman or close to number ten, close to tim shipman or close to numberten, i close to tim shipman or close to number ten, i should say, sorry, close to tim shipman or close to number ten, ishould say, sorry, a source close to theresa may, says they are planning how to do the brexit bill, and whether to do it as an early payment. again, it is coming back to numbers, and we still don't know what the bill is going to be. we still don't know what the cost of the negotiations is going to be. and over what a long period of time. and rather oddly, ithink, given that most sunday papers rather like doing polls and things

i don't want boris to be in charge of the brexit process , boris to be in charge of the brexit processdership bid, she's going to be straight out of the box to stop him. there will be big voices that make the case that he shouldn't be prime and esther and may even stand against him. and the ride potential candidate to do that. another striking thing in that interview, the most pointed criticism from within the conservative party on the record since borisjohnson's article came from ruth davidson, the leader of the scottish conservatives, who suggested that the timing, a day after what happened in parsons green, was an indication of bad judgment. and judgment has always been one of the big doubts, but others have had about borisjohnson. even going back to his time when he was a humble opposition politician. when he got sacked for some outspoken views in the spectator magazine. even had —— even some of his supporters acknowledge that a wea k his supporters acknowledge that a weak point is this judgment. amber rudd suggesting that his timing, particularly given her brief, the response to w

the test will come when brexit talks test will come when brexit talks resume on monday.athoo, bbc news. our political correspondent susana mendonca is here. in terms of the cabinet we are seeing a united front. of course, borisjohnson had written an article about how britain should not contribute to the eu to stay in the single market, but now saying he is supporting theresa may's speech. we have got philip hammond, who has been very much an advocate of a softer brexit, also talking about it being an excellent speech. so a moment for the cabinet to come together after what has been quite a divided time. in terms of the party more widely, role... remain mps have been positive, but brexiteers are quite worried. for example is, bernard jenkin, owen paterson, concerned about that two year period during which we would still effectively be within the european union, the same trade rules and what have you. so also concerned about the comments that we have had from europe thus far, which have not been as positive, perhaps, as team—mate might have hoped that this speech would hav

they are at odds. —— brexit. the fight between chancellor hammond and boris johnson, brexit.ncellor hammond and borisjohnson, allegedly boris and his camp claimed that had he not exerted the kind of pressure that he did leading up to the friends speech, theresa may would have announced a five—year transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. —— france. transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. -- france. we knew the cabinet and the party were split over the referendum, the eu. we have no night for some time. are they unable to bury their differences and act like grown—ups? the average person reading these front pages would think, are a bunch of babies? it is infantile. the clock is ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. that deal needs to really be struck by next autumn so that it can be approved with the various bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu memberon the bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu member on the 29th of march 2019. that is with or without a transition period. david davies, brexit negotiator for the uk, they

i think every conservative has their view on brexit.as to decide what is best for the country and whatever the politics are, that should be first and foremost, and then what can she unite the party around and thinking brutally, if she has to adopt a position which causes some people in the cabinet to resign, whose resignations can she afford? those are questions only the prime minister can answer about the court ofjustice, the minister can answer about the court of justice, the customs minister can answer about the court ofjustice, the customs union, said the payment deal which most people are relaxed about, on these issues there is nobody who can answer these questions for theresa may. she has to do it herself. henry hill, thank you. the ratings agency, moody's, has downgraded britain's long—term credit rating. it says it made the decision because of the economic uncertainty caused by the brexit negotiations and the likelihood that the public finances would become weaker. downing street says the firm's assessments were "outdated". our

how are you feeling about progress on brexit? there is progress on brexit?!h, it's impossible, and in the end they will agree that they've got to agree and it will be done. this demo wants brexit stopped. many, many don't. but while the uk and eu negotiators play a game of who blinks first, a vision of economic uncertainty and political storms ahead now seems plain to see. nicola sturgeon has confirmed that the scottish government will lift the one per cent cap on public sector pay increases next year. 0utlining what she called bold and ambitious legislative plans, the first minister told the holyrood parliament that improving her education policies, which have been much—criticised, would be her number one priority. she also promised to phase out new petrol and diesel cars by 2032, eight years earlier than the target set by westminster. now it's time for newsnight, with emily maitlis. we look at suspected cases of female genital mutilation and we will ask one campaigner, a survivor, why the weight could be so long and what can be done to improve the system. a

if the government splits over the question of brexit.ecause by the time of the next general election, i think his chance will have come and gone. he will not be the candidate to appeal to young people. which is what the conservative party is going to be interested in in the next election, countering the jeremy interested in in the next election, countering thejeremy corbyn appeal. despite the fact that boris johnson was popular as mayor of london, as leader of the leave campaign, i think he has a the younger generation. his only hope of becoming prime minister is to push for a harder brexit than theresa may will offer and take over on that basis. i'm not sure it will work but thatis basis. i'm not sure it will work but that is his thinking. the timing is interesting because it is the eve of the conference, the impression had been that he had been told to stop being a back—seat driver, most notably by amber rudd, a home secretary in a direct intervention. is he doing that or is he being interviewed, doing his run—up to the party conferenc

but for the crucial issue of brexit, while labour deals with internal divisions, its shadow brexit secretaryarty was a government in waiting. no rash ideological red lines preventing a sensible deal. no fantastical blue sky proposals. a pragmatic approach. labour are now the grown—ups in the room. we stand ready to take charge of these negotiations, not acting for narrow political gain but in the national interest. brexit rows and all, conference is now in full flow, but as labour tries to divert attention away from its difficulties on the eu, it hopes new policies like a cap on credit card interest will be popular with voters. i am calling upon the government to act now and apply the same rules on payday loans to credit card debt. it means that nobody will ever pay more in interest than their original loan. if the tories refuse to act, i can announce today that the next labour government will amend the law. and there was also an expensive announcement about pfi, the programme of funding public infrastructure projects with private capital. we'll put an end to this scandal and we will reduce

we've a lwa ys brexit facilitates this. always been a bit of a pain in the butt, frankly, as far as the eu project is concerned, and good riddance. juncker said today that it's a shame, but brexit will provide those real integrationists the chance to have a closer political and economic union. there we re political and economic union. there were nine countries including the uk, but there will be nine countries outside the eurozone who will have tojoin. it's fascinating outside the eurozone who will have to join. it's fascinating that juncker met tony blair last week, who gave quite conciliatory comments at the weekend. it's interesting to see his speech today in the context of the meeting with blair last week. next week, theresa may is going to outline — in case you were wondering what we do want from brexit, and to have our cake and eat it — she will speu have our cake and eat it — she will spell out what she believes the future for britain will be. it will be in future for britain will be. it will beina future for britain

these are hard—core brexiteers.et because you have people also like philip hammond who is definitely not ina hard philip hammond who is definitely not in a hard brexit camp. you wonder how sustainable it is locked. but michael gove and patel are not part of the. how much sway can they have? bring out the violins and we talk about it. this is the silliness of this pantomime that is going on. she should sack the lot of them. she she has the power to do it. she should get rid of these people because this is going... something is going to happen. it harms the reputation of the country and it looks horrible.|j offered to present this bulletin from florence on friday, but they did not take me up on the offer. did you come in on a ryanair? no, no, thank goodness. chancellor said to slash tuition fees. 0utraged university said on a cash mountain. this has been on the boilfor a while. jeremy corbyn made a lot of this before the election. jeremy corbyn launched this. this is a tory steel. they are going to try and make this w

what i want from the brexit talks, and what boris johnson wants from the brexit talks, indeed all ofble deal for britain, that secures our future outside the european union, and keeps a close relationship with our current european partners. to be honest, to the point where... just one question... some conservatives don‘t go along with borisjohnson‘s assertion that brexit will be great. in heated referendum debates, the scottish conservative leader, ruth davidson, took him on. can you name me just one country in the world that has said it will give us a better deal if we come out of the eu? and today she told the times that overoptimism about britain‘s future outside the eu sells people short. so what do conservatives arriving in manchester make of borisjohnson‘s latest intervention? i guess he is positioning himself as a sort of spokesperson for brexit, and making sure it goes through. i'm not quite sure that boris going down his own line, as he is, is necessarily the right way forward. i like people who are charismatic, and who can speak their minds, so boris is certainly one of tho
