brexiteers understanding that brexit will not take them into heaven and they are trying to blame it nowreally good idea but it is being badly executed because, you know, those europeans are so intransigent. no. brexit was never a good idea and it was always going to hurt. we have to limit the damage. in the long—term, the prosperity of the eu and jobs in the eu depend on the integrity of the internal market. we're not going unpick it. but i return to the raw data put out by the imf. of course it is speculative, but one must respect the strength of their economics. they say that if there is a cliff edge, a hard crash—out brexit, that will cost the eu as a whole probably around i.5%, if not more, of gdp. some countries will be much worse — like ireland who could lose 4% of gdp. it will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, possibly overi million, across the eu as a whole. some countries in particular, and this is where we get to you, some countries like the netherlands are extraordinary vulnerable because of the strength of your trading relationship with the uk. yes. but we also have tradin

the fundamentalists, the high brexit and soft brexit, she is the high brexit category.that are clearly high brexit, out of the single market, out of the ejc. we won't go through all of that, but we will come back... all of that, but we will come back. . . that all of that, but we will come back... that is ordinarily brexit. it wasn't on the ballot so we will never know. happy story on the front of the times, the lovely photograph of the times, the lovely photograph of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, laura, and her daughter, reunited with hope for longer than three days. yes, i mean, it is a very good story, it is a really important story, and we all hope that there is a chance perhaps, the ft seems to hint, that it could be longer than three days, i think this is a release two years into a five—year sentence and it might be jeremy hunt can push for this to not just be a few days and it could be absolutely terrible for the daughter and husband. for the iranians it could be good to release her as a gesture at a time when they need to keep britain and the europeans on board in

the ha rd wheel of the brexit carpeting the hard brexiteers and the soft brexiteers, trying to stop and they said after so into the wall, and they said after so long of britain being detached and aloof, now she is coming to ask to help keep it on the road. the question of whether it will work or not, i think the feeling here is president macron has been cleared about where he stands. he's a committed europhile, always back to the core principles of the eu and whatever kind of flexibility france will or will not show, there is a feeling it won't be on those key principles. it won't be on the integrity of the single market. sol think, while the feeling here is the chances of a no deal are growing, like they are across the channel, and that's something france, like other european nations, wants to avoid, there is a feeling britain is the weaker party here and the ball is in britain's court. all right, lucy and tom, thank you for now. so what would happen in the event of a no—deal brexit? our reality check correspondent chris morris has been looking at what the impact would be on the uk

the uk can handle a no—deal brexit.hat's the message from the government as it offers advice, on how to cope. a raft of documents have been released, covering everything from credit cards, to pensions, medicines and trade. it's not what we want, and it's not what we expect. but we must be ready. we have a duty as a responsible government to plan for every eventuality. i thought the proposals were bland, thin on detail, thin on substance, and i don't think they are going to reassure anybody. with barely seven months to go before brexit, we'll be assessing what a no deal might mean for you. also on the programme... reunited with her daughter, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, jailed in iran and accused of spying, has been temporarily released. we've had so many dashed hopes and false dawns, and i had heard so many rumours that this might happen and i didn't believe them. i got igota i got a six in english! gcse pass rates are up, despite tougher new exams. and taking bikes for the wrong kind of ride. vandalism and theft threaten

. —— brexiteers.used bureaucrats of having an illogical obsession with eu rules rather than economic well—being obsession with eu rules rather than economic well— being which obsession with eu rules rather than economic well—being which would lead to only one outcome. well, you could argue that brexiteers theologically have theological obsessed and themselves with... not just have theological obsessed and themselves with... notjust liam fox. we have people, the bank of england, all sorts of people who actually know stuff. is that he just simply asa actually know stuff. is that he just simply as a senior minister who is involved in this, looking at whether negotiations are going and thinking, look, 60— a0 a... negotiations are going and thinking, look, 60- 40 a... actually, i don't often say things like this but i do feel sorry for theresa may, cornered as she is by these bully boys like rees—mogg and others who will not relent. they want this hard brexit. don't they? bank of england governor said, ith

brexiteers might call that scaremongering.s friends would say it's simply facing harsh reality. few mps like the idea of a no—deal brexit. so are opposition parties backing the government? of course not. eight weeks before the october summit, which is supposed to be the end of negotiations, the government is just publishing these vague papers, and they're not even publishing all of them. presumably, the other 50 or so papers are still being written. that really isn't going to reassure anybody. the likelihood of a people's vote is now growing. when we have a no deal, which is obviously unacceptable and highly disruptive, and we have a government deal which is poor and disruptive, what else do we do? in brussels, the eu is playing hardball and saying any kind of brexit will come at a cost. it's going to lead to disruption regardless. with a deal or without a deal. that's why everybody, particularly economic operators, need to be prepared. the agreed time to sketch out britain's future relationship with the eu has almost run out.

looks as though the market's attention shifted away from a hard brexit scenario towards a softer brexit. is that fair >> i think the market is still pricing in a hard brexit we saw the rally in the sterling, a short-term move in my mind. i was watching local news last night, you know, i saw this basically a little struggle in french fishing waters between british and -- >> yeah. we have a story about that later. the scallop story. >> i don't see it much in other places, but it shows how contentious this is. on one hand you can have wonderful speeches by may and how they'll try to find a new softer way, but on the ground, where the rubber hits the road, there's a number of issues that are completely unsolved. >> yeah. it's never going to be easy. peter, thank you very much for joining stre"street signs" this morning. >>> sterling reached the 1.30 mark for the first time in three weeks after the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, struck a positive tone about the possibility of a uk deal speaking in berlin, barnier offered britain a close relationship with the bloc which was unl

in previous conversations i have had from the brexit negotiating tea m have had from the brexit negotiatingird country. and did we think that two years ago one of the main quote many of the papers will pick up on would be a brexit secretary saying that don't worry, the blt will be safe in the uk. i'm sure the bacon lettuce safe in the uk. i'm sure the bacon lettu ce a nd safe in the uk. i'm sure the bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, given the scare stories of food sort of yea rs the scare stories of food sort of years and they army labouring brought in to bring brought into bringing supplies, he said this is pa rt bringing supplies, he said this is part of the talk today to reassure the public that there are policies in place to make sure these scarce glories arejust in place to make sure these scarce glories are just that.” in place to make sure these scarce glories are just that. i think you are right, gavin. that one will definitely catch the imagination of the headlines. let's talk about the prospect of getting a deal. dominic raab began that speech saying getting a deal is the overr

as a hard brexit. regarded as a soft brexit. guy: that is hugely significant in terms of where we go next. anything softer than that will feel like soft brexit. i'm wondering how this process is taking place. -- that is this route is not the word. there is this war going on within the conservative party. overnight on the plane to south africa, the prime minister said no deal brexit would not be the end of the world it this morning, someone joked to me on another journalist, that this would go from not the end of the world in september 2 people voted for the end of the if -- to ifober two we don't and the world, we will have betrayed the british people. stay in the customs union, which was quite a lot of the stories were quite open to on the 23rd 2016, is now something they will leave the party over. partly, this is a recognition that the reality of leaving the eu is if you stay in the customs union, you remain subject to a bunch of rules. vassal state stuff. that is the argument theresa may has made ah

it's less than eight months until brexit.l don't know what economic life outside the european union will actually look like. ministers have been warning about the risk that a deal won't be done in time, potentially leading to disruption. today, the man in charge of the banking system intervened in that debate. the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this point. it does mean potential disruption, certainly it does mean disruption to trade as we know it. and, as a consequence of that, a disruption to the level of economic activity changes higher prices, for a period of time. few people move financial markets when they speak, but the bank of england governor is one of them. his warning about the risks of a no—deal brexit hit the currency markets, weakening the value of the pound and angering some pro—brexit politicians. the prominent leave campaigner, ian duncan smith, said... since the credit crunch, banks have been working hard to get their finances into shape. rbs has recovered from its near—death experience a d

what are you scared of, brexiteers?n has changed? a lot of recent polls have said there is a majority for leave? we conducted one of the biggest opinion polls so far with the money from julian dunkerton this week and that poll of 10,000 people shows that a majority of 35—40%, people want their voice to be heard that if there was a referendum, they would vote to remain by a six—point margin. 0pinion is shifting. it is really important that people are aware of other people changing too. this can generate its own momentum. the reality is the government have said there won‘t be another referendum, they will not legislate for that. you need legislation and it went happen, whatever you want. it happens when the government brings back its deal, whatever battered wreckage it comes up with. it has to be put to the house of commons and if they reject that, what are they going to do? we will slide out of europe without a deal, and all of the consequences that means. what will mps do? say go back and fix that? no. the plays that a

what happens in the event of a no—deal on brexit?he government publishes its first detailed advice on finance, medicine and farming. companies are being warned about extra red tape, consumers are being told they could face higher credit card fees, if britain crashes out of the eu without a deal. it's not what we want and it's not what we expect, but we must be ready. we have a duty as a responsible government to plan for every eventuality. i thought the proposals were bland, thin on detail, thin on substance, and i don't think they're going to reassure anybody. we'll be examining what it would mean for business, families and individuals. also tonight... jailed in iran two years ago, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is reunited with her daughter after being temporarily released for just three days. we've had so many dashed hopes and false dawns, and i had heard rumours that this might happen and i didn't believe them. i got a six in english! gcse results are out — and there's a slight rise in the pass rate for exams in england, wales and nor

the brexit secretary, dominic raab, has told the bbc that in the event of a no deal on brexit, he willure the rights of european union citizens in the uk. mr raab said there was absolutely ‘no question of eu citizens being turfed out'. he was speaking after talks with the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, who says overrall discussions, are now entering their final stage, but some fundamental disagreements remain. from brussels, ben wright reports. many of the continent—hopping train travellers at the eurostar this morning probably didn't notice the man who now leads the uk's brexit negotiating team. dominic raab landed the job last month after david davis quit the cabinet in frustration at the government's own brexit plan. so it's mr raab who is now trying to get a deal with the eu over the line by the end of march next year. but what if there is no agreement? some of theresa may's ministers have ramped up warnings it could happen. i asked the brexit secretary what that could mean for the many eu citizens who now live in the uk. we value their contribution. we want them to

and against a hard brexit. the democratic group we will be listening to those voices and labour will be voting against the deal put forward by the government, then where do we go next? a lot of us will want to see a general election but one of the ways to resolve this will be a people's vote. could a change being made to labour party policy without it undermining jeremy corbyn? jeremy corbyn himself would say that labour's policy on brexit has been evolving as the facts become clearer. when we see the lies put out about the nhs, extra money that will not be there, the risks to workers in the steel industry, industries like are bus, pharmaceutical sector and everyday life and the ability of a future labour government to deal with severe inequalities, we will not be able to deal with austerity if we are paying billions into dealing with brexit and at the moment we are spending billions, whether in the home office or business department on preparations for a mess instead of spending it on police officers or teache

it is the cultural aspects of brexit, which are just as important as the economic aspects of brexit, changing too fast for people to be comfortable with. whether that... how that relates to the actual reality of immigration doesn't matter. it doesn't make it an invalid feeling, that actually things are changing too fast for me, and actually i would prefer to have less immigration, even if i am wrong about the level of immigration that there currently is. so no, it doesn't at all condescend to those types ofjudgements by people. the cultural factors are really important. well, to continue with the brexit thought just for a moment longer, because you wrote about it quite extensively, you suggest that since the referendum, the way people have staked out their positions, either remain or brexit, has become almost tribal in its focus on identity. and again, sort of leaving fact based debate behind and becoming very much about identity politics. and if that is true, then all of this talk about... which comes by and large from remainers, talk about of a people's vote, a second referendum af

are you backing theresa may's chequers plan for brexit?ers plan is very poor. it's not the brexit i believe we voted for or promised the british people. in fact, i think it's so poor that i would not be willing to support chequers if the eu were paying us to sign for it. i'm supporting a canada plus plus plus free—trade deal — bear in mind that canada and japan have achieved free—trade deals with the eu without taking on the common rule book with mutual recognition of standards, and they didn't actually pay anything for it. whereas we've got £39 billion of taxpayers‘ money on the table that we are willing to part with as a so—called divorce bill, and i think we should get a very good free—trade deal from the eu. the only problem with that is, of course, that that might be very attractive to other countries who are currently in the european union, because we would become a group of sovereign nations trading and co—operating together in a sort of common market, which i think everybody voted for in the 1970s. unfortunately, there would probab

the country, brexit or no brexit needs skills and these skills need to be taught.erwards, definitely, absolutely. it was the new labour government that wanted to get 50% of kids into universities and perhaps promote the idea that not going to university and doing something vocational was just as good. do you think that attitude has changed now or has it got a way to go? it has got a way to go but it is starting to change and parents are starting to change and parents are starting realise that their kids are going to be in a huge amount of debt with no guarantee of our £100,000 job, aged 22 with a degree, whereas some of the kids joining job, aged 22 with a degree, whereas some of the kidsjoining in industry aged post—gcse by that age are owning their own businesses and we have trained people who are running two and three salons aged 20, 21. they are actually providing, paying their taxes, putting back into the economy, while some of their friends are still looking for thatjob. economy, while some of their friends are still looking for that job.” think of my own bro

rather than brexit goes wrong, in one way 01’ brexit.ther, and interest rates are suddenly have to rocket up, you bring them up gradually so people get used to it and the economy's stronger and better able to stand what could be a very disruptive impact of either a no deal or a bad deal brexit. or certainly an initial shock as well, we don't how long it will last but clearly there will be some impact. more on brexit i have no doubt in the next few moments but lance, you mentioned the telegraph, caroline, the headline here: this is the chief of the defence staff talking about protecting retired soldiers being investigated over incidents during the troubles. this is sir nick carter, the re ce ntly this is sir nick carter, the recently appointed chief of the defence staff, who is basically making comments and it's part of a long—running campaign the telegraph has been waging and in particular its around veterans who many years after the incident are now being prosecuted for various misdemeanours or perceived misdemeanours at the time. they

no matter what happens to brexit, we are able to look after out to brexit, we are able to look afterrexit, we are able to look after our customer base. 50 to brexit, we are able to look after our customer base. so there is a brexit discount on uk focused stocks? yes, any uncertainty brings a discount. they may be sweating over the brexit outcome, but the governor also offered this reassurance. the financial system will be ready for that undesirable and still unlikely possibility. the financial system will be ready. ready but hardly willing, the french president is a guest on a mission. not on a holiday i would have hoped for. i'm joined now by adam fleming, who is at fort de bregancon, mr macron's summer residence. it all looks very tranquil there. what we are hoping is to get more harmony between the french and british leaders when it comes to ipng theresa may and emanuel are the type of politicians will not be swayed by matter how pleasant, and the pictures of the meeting that we had a couple of hours ago but there sat there. surrounded by advisers down to business. this is clearly

—— a no—deal brexit. did we see reaction elsewhere in the markets? -- a no-deal brexit.d employees to move back and forth between banks in the uk and the eu. so an extra level of disruption, some reaction in those banking shares. let's talk about the cma investigation into the sainsbury‘s and asda merger, no surprise there is an investigation, it would be a huge merger, what do expect the to be. as you say, with a merger so predominantly in the public eye, there would have to be some kind of investigation, and my suspicion is that there is some grounds for looking at this beyond the fact that we tend to look at the big four supermarkets dropping down to a big three. big promises made that we will see a 10% drop in prices at sainsbury's, get there won't be any store closures, and there won't be any store closures, and there won't be a ny staff store closures, and there won't be any staff let go per se. so a little bit hard to understand, without a massive squeeze on suppliers, which are also important uk businesses, how this merger will make financial sense. so more detai

philip hammond hasjumped brexit. -- no deal.ond has jumped into this debate and the timing is unfortunate from the government's point of view, certainly from dominic raab‘s point of view. it shows there are still plenty of divides within the government. dominic raab was tried to walk a tightrope with the papers. making it clear that they no deal brexit would be complex. he was sending a message to the eu as well that we have this carpet and we are quite happy with that and are negotiating from a strong position so negotiating from a strong position so for hammond tojump in saying it would reduce gdp, raised public borrowing, was quite tricky. you mean they no deal or a bad deal?‘ no deal. that is the implication. what it does is it complicates this delicate balance which dominic raab was trying to create yesterday and, it indicates that there are still split there. the daily telegraph and a lot of other press are analysing the news on brexit. let's talk about the news on brexit. let's talk about the change in australia. at the b
