a hard brexit, in the most extreme sense, would be a disaster for britain. e understand a hard and soft brexit, and what those two terms by mean? i can't speak on behalf of the country, but i have no idea. not the whole country, maybe, butjade is speaking for many. this usually important debate is in danger of drowning and jargon. the phrases being used, like hard brexit and soft brexit are, of course, political, and, for many, are adding to the sense of confusion. but let's try and explain the differences. first, hard brexit — what some people have described as "clean brexit". bluntly, hard brexit means 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. contro

brexit. some in europe even suggest that britain could stay in the eu —— a soft brexit. 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 firm but friendly attitude towards the uk but no, borisjohnson is totally wrong. he'

that‘s astonishing. what kind of brexit britain wants. that's astonishing.e still haven‘t come to a determination about what kind of brexit we want. don‘t forget what the question was in the referendum last year: do you want to remain in the eu do you want to leave? it did not discuss details of the single market, customs union, soft or hard brexit. one of the big things we will see in the next few months, both within the uk parliament and within the conservative party, is manoeuvring proposition as people try and decide what we are going to do for brexit, and what bits of the eu might we do business with. critically, what kind of transition to get us from where we are now to where we might be in the future? it is allup where we might be in the future? it is all up for grabs. politics in the uk has never been so fluid. we were in pretty much the same spot a year agojust after brexit, in pretty much the same spot a year ago just after brexit, and the mood here was not great, frankly. contrast that with the message, and from the new leaders of ireland and fran

, to get that best deal for brexit for britaineverything else depends on those brexit negotiations. i am also optimistic that we can get a good deal that does work for us all, and i'm confident in our ability as a country to grasp the opportunities that are open to us for the future. and i say that because i believe in britain and the british people. but ican britain and the british people. but i can only do that with your backing if you give me a mandate, and my final message is a very simple one, which isjust this. if final message is a very simple one, which is just this. if you final message is a very simple one, which isjust this. if you give me your backing, i will deliver for britain. thank you. applause did anybody have any questions they wanted to ask? yes. what are you going to do to ensure that the pound doesn't lose against other currencies to give us a stronger standing against anybody else as well? there has been movement in the pound which those who are importing products, movement in the pound since before the brex

i am confident that we can fulfil the promise of brexit together and build a britain that is strongerven more prosperous than it is today, because the promise of brexit is great, the opportunities before us enormous. we in labour understand that getting the right deal, one that secures our country's interest for the long—term will be challenging. a matter of serious planning and negotiations, not hectoring and threats. labour is ready. ready to deliver a deal that gives british business and british society the chance to thrive in a post brexit war. beyond those big claims, though, there's a lot we just do not know, about how the next occupant of this place would approach everything once in charge when whitehall really has to get down to work to make brexit happen. both main parties say freedom of movement would come to an end, the prime minister claim it is would make hitting her immigration target easier. we will be able to control our own borders, ensuring that we continue to attract the brightest and the best to work or study in this country. but ensuring that we have control of th

as theresa may made it more optimistic and sunny, which is a lie she is trying to paint for britain post—brexits people here wanting to feel. trying to make britain a more meritocratic country. that was the message. it was quite brief. it was the last rally of the campaign, but the speech did not last longer than ten minutes. if so what are the conservative bus map plans? they plan to increase the nhs budget in england by 8 billion pounds over the next five years. they've restated their pledge to cut immigration to the tens of thousands. and they say they will achieve a balanced budget by 2025. labour have a brexit deal in mind too — putting the economy and living standards first. they promise to end austerity and invest in public services — and they'll increase taxes on business and the highest paid. they say they will nationalise a number of companies,and abolish tuition fees for university students in england. our deputy political editor john pienaar reports. it may feel like a long march, this election, but then britain is deciding its future, choosing between candidates to run the country.

brexit negotiations, every vote for me and my team is about to get a better deal. every vote for me and my team is about to build that stronger, fairer and more prosperous britain forroad but also about a better deal for ordinary working people here at home. we need to get the brexit deal right, bring back that control of oui’ right, bring back that control of our money, laws and borders. we need to build that special partnership with the eu, comprehensive free trade agreements with the eu, but we also need to build new trade deals for goods and services around the world with new friends and old allies alike. and here we need to ensure that we are backing those who work hard, helping new businesses to set up newjobs, create newjobs, better paid jobs. and give more rights and protections to workers. we need through a modern industrial strategy to make sure that growth, prosperity and opportunity are spread across the whole country and people see the benefits across the whole of the united kingdom. we need to ensure that by securing our economy we can fund our national health service, putting record levels of funding into the health service, ensuring we provide the c

want a seamless and frictionless border between post brexit britain and irelalad which will remain inheu. that is a complete contradiction and not a hard brexit. >> absolutely. there is aat th unity of purpose is not true. theresa may has been repeating that line before the election and she is now saying it afterward when the results indicate that britain is even more confused. she is using that line to decrease opposition to her own points of view of her conservative party. the issue with the dup is difficult to solve. i understand the point of view that they do not want complications on the border but to do so would mean that the u.k. would need a relationship with the eu. i.i.e. within the single market, some kind of soft brexit arrangement. if the dup gets that t the conservative party has a problem with its members of parliament that are part of the european research group, the brexit hardliners. other side, they are facing the dup and the scottish conservatives. in the endomes down to the question of immigration, doesn't it? hardliners are worried that if they agree to a soft br

as theresa may made it more optimistic and sunny, which is a life she is trying to paint for britain post—brexitt she loves people here wanting to feel. trying to make britain a more meritocratic country. that was the message. it was quite brief. it was the last rally of the campaign, but the speech did not last longer than ten minutes. the leader of the liberal democrats, tim farron, has launched a last ditch effort to prevent a conservative landslide in tomorrow's election. he's been touring cities across england, where he's been pushing a message to voters to think tactically when going to the polls. speaking to supporters in bath this evening, mr farron said a landslide victory for the conservatives would jeopardise funding for community services across britain. theresa may called the election, expecting a landslide. a landslide tomorrow would mean permission for the dementia tax, permission for more police cuts and underfunding of our schools and hospitals. it's a vote against all of that with the lib and —— with the liberal democrats. it's a vote for the funding our schools deserve and for

because if we get brexit right, then together we can do great things. we can build a britaineyond 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 immigration, while the lib dems would maintain the status quo. on trade, theresa may says we'll leave the single market and the customs union, pursuing new trade deals with the eu and abroad. labour accepts that but would negoti

tusk said it is not basically,and said, it does not give him any greater idea about what kind of brexit britain wants. in terms of the bigger issue, what kind of a deal britain will negotiate is very much is not in the clear, very fuzzy. at least there is a concrete start which may be enough to create positive moo at the beginning of the negotiations. dthis is not the forum in which the negotiations is happening. to hear frompect prime minister may in the hour and we will take her speech. it comes one year after to the date since the brexit vote and generally, you said is the word "ambiguity" and a general sense of uncertainty, some are questioning how firm may's government is after the election. >> when we heard reactions in brussel after the british general election, how were ready everybody was, jittery about how long theresa may will stay on the job. to been theund background of the minds of negotiators if they do agree with something with her and then within a few hours, certainly, she is not on the job, then what happens? is she who by a hard-line brexit tier? softline brexiter? more unce

clearly is that theresa may is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be 45 minutes each of hard grilling by members of the public for the prime minister and for the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. what's come out very clearly is that theresa may is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, and other controversies such as anti—semitism in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be hoping it will have some impact in the conservatives favour after a week of disappointing polls. let's speak to labour's joint general election coordinator chief, andrew gwynne, and the brexit secretary, david davis. it would appear that people were very concerned. it was an assured performance by the prime mini

it's been given added importance by the fact that britain has finallky started brexit negotiations withion. mr hammond has been at pains to calm fears of an abrupt change to relations between the eu and britain — saying he wants the uk to experience trade in a way that "feels as close as possible to the way it feels now". he acknowledges the uk will leave the single market and customs union but insists it should reach a deal that allows british goods to flow without tariffs, delays and bureaucracy. and he stresses it would be "a very — very bad outcome" if no deal was reached. that's despite the prime minister theresa may's mantra that no deal is better than a bad deal. with me isjonathan portes — professor of economics at kings college. good morning. we were all watching david davis meeting the eu's equivalent michel barnier. today it is philip hammond setting out his message. he is trying to reassure business that they will be no cliff edge brexit. we are still headed for ha rd edge brexit. we are still headed for hard except, leaving the customs union and the single market. he will t

election result what is they need for the future of brexit. britain voted to leave the eu, the exact terms will determine the economic future. prime minister teresa may began that process in march. negotiations are set to start in ten days and the eu won't agree to anything if there's no clear governing party. that could push back the planned march 2019 exit. the hung parliament could also impact the final deal. may promised a clean break from removing britain from the eu's trading area but u.k.'s labor party called for a softer strategy. they want to keep the market. this political uncertainty won't help the economic slow down. first quarter growth was the weakest in europe. investors want to know the access they'll have to europe in the future. not everyone is weight. some banks are moving jobs out of the u.k. over fears of lost business. >> if you were planning on going now is the time to do it. >> yeah. >> an nsa contractor accused of leaking pleading not guilty in court. details about her appearance before a judge next. the future isn't silver su

whoever wins will get to decide the way in which brexit will happen, the way in which britain will leave the european union. polls were notoriously unreliable in both the brexit vote and in donald trump's election. so we'll have to wait until the polls close here at 10:00 p.m. local time to get the early results. lucy kafanov, nbc news, london. >>> u.s. sanctions against russia will remain in place. that's the word tonight from the white house spokesperson. the sanctions first imposed by president obama included seizing two russian compounds in maryland and new york. there was speculation the trump administration was considering lifting the sanctions. national security adviser michael flynn resigned after being found to have lied about the commitment. >>> in washington today, the republican-led house voted to undo the dodd/frank act. that act was put in place by the obama administration to head off financial meltdown. the democrats say wall street's interests are being put ahead of consumers. republicans say they're taking away burdens on businesses. >>> a new plea to president trump and

britain. one piece of good news is this whole election has put pay in my view to the idea of a hard brexit. ink the votes are there now in the house of commons because the conservatives have lost their majority for taking britain out of all of the economic arrangements we have with the european union. it's not clear what takes its place, but certainly, i think we're now on course for a softer brexit than would have been the case a week ago. >> is that possible? because the europeans certainly want it to be a hard brexit as well. they want to make clear there is a difference between being in the european union and out. and they will not give britain a soft deal, something that is almost the same as having been a member of the european union. >> well, i certainly agree with you that the europeans aren't going to cut any special deals for britain. although i think it would be helpful if everyone took in a deep breath and thought what was the best thing for the continent of europe given that britain is such an important economy and such an important security partner. that's not the atmosphere of
