just going to wait and watch how do you see things developing from brussels. you can't do anything unless london sort of comes up with a solution unless the government either steps down and a new government comes and then a lot more time will go by unless london for instance asks for a prolongation off period and probably then all you countries together could decide to sort of extend the deadline to give a bit more time but the find the first movement has to come from the british government and so far we don't really see what's happening there and that's the problem brussels is in now if somebody like boris johnson would step up and maybe even become prime minister it's quite clear that a suffer exit is off the cards that maybe we are heading for a sort of creche for exit because he really doesn't want any kind of negotiated solution so far he's been very very hardline on that and that for the european union means as for britain that a lot of economic and political damage will be done so everybody of course is afraid of that and hopes that it won't happen but

from their perspective there from brussels. what basically what's what terry mentioned also live from helsinki is this idea of a constructive conversations or a number of foreign ministers who arrived here for a meeting today in brussels said look in principle this is a positive signal we need a conversation that by the way is something the has been the german position all through the russian crisis whether it was regarding crimea or whether it was the alleged poison attack of the russian spy in the u.k. the german position has always been let's keep the channels open keep a dialogue going now having said that however the concern of course is what you have already talked about in the studio is is this global architecture what is the arena if you want how we organize the style and how when it comes to trade from the perspective of the of the european union it is the the global trade organization the world trade organization whether should take place this is put into question by trump when it comes to international relations is t

well if i think it's clear to anyone any observer in brussels what would it very difficult time she has the public was very divided in the vote the fifty two percent and. favorite forty eight percent against parliament is equally strongly divided and at every turn she said a lot of difficulties trying to get some type of a kind of coalition of support even in her own party for a particular view and she's managed so far by not going to really kind of coming down one side or the other on a particular route map now over the weekend she's put her only time she's brought her cabinet together to agree it particular plan and the first person to bolt this is the person do is in charge of negotiating the government's view i mean this really couldn't be a worse outcome at the worst possible time for the prime minister and i think everyone in brussels is going to know that britain is in a truck you know in a real position of weakness that she's just not able to carry the country certainly not able to carry your government and i think you know a general election not her off perhaps a leadership cha

david: annmarie hordern reporting all day from brussels.dent trump's turn to come up and greet jens stoltenberg. alix: a little frosty. we just saw president erdogan come in. alix: is it alphabetical by country? david: i don't know. we want to continue on this discussion of nato. president trump has made it clear what he wants. he wants all 29 countries to meet their long-term commitments to spending 2% of gdp on defense. .e welcome now bill faries we will keep watching as the leaders come in. explain to us this 2% limit. the president is very impatient to get there. when they originally adopted this, it wasn't going to be right away. bill: this a merged in the wake of the european financial crisis several years ago when the u.s. was frustrated with overall nato spending. they got nato members to agree that they would reach this 2% of gdp threshold by mid-2020's. it is still six or seven years away. donald trump has been frustrated with that pace. he thinks countries should ramp up spending much more quickly. david: already, president trump

from brussels, our europe editor katya adler reports.russels, confronting the same old brexit challenges. michel barnier, the eu's by—now rather dour chief negotiator, has been in on this process from the start. our challenge will be to find common ground between the fundamental principles that define the eu and the uk positions. the smiling enthusiasm of the new brexit secretary came in stark contrast. i come out today to discuss the detailed proposals that we have got in our white paper that you will have seen and i'm looking forward to, with renewed energy, vigour and vim, heating up the negotiations and making sure we are in the best position to get the best deal. is the government stable enough to make a deal with brussels? dominic raab‘s upbeat message doesn't quite match the political turmoil we've seen this week in westminster. the eu is not convinced by the new brexit secretary's calm, confident message. are you sure? we really presented several positions and great britain was facing even some resignings of ministers and state s

let's go to gavin lee in brussels. 24th nato summit here at the new headquarters here in brussels. this organisation, remember, set up after the second world war to deal with the perceived aggression and threat from the soviet union now, still a perceived threat from russia. but an internal dispute that seems to have increased this morning. extraordinary scenes before the nato summit has officially began. the military bands are still rehearsing in the background. we have had donald trump arriving here, barely put his feet on the ground in europe, making clear the wider agenda to talk about iraq or dealing with is, afghanistan, coming together on the baltic front, well, actually put that aside. this is a personal agenda. he wants to talk to the other 28 leaders about it. paying your way. the agreement that european countries would spend 2% of their gdp on defence saying that it's not happening fast enough. and he had a very personal thai raid against germany. this happened over brea kfast against germany. this happened

he is on the ground in brussels. we do have a rally going on at least for the dow jones industrial up 136 points. now president trump's frustration about all of this stems from the numbers. we throw it out a lot of times saying oh, he's upset about the numbers but let's just explain it to you. since 2014 there's been a rule. nato members are supposed to contribute 2% of their gross domestic product toward defense spending but only five nations are holding up to that agreement you ready? the u.s. and the united kingdom those are wealthy nations, but greece, astonia and latvia, are the other three in the five throwing 2% or more of their 2017 gdp toward defense so not norway, a very wealthy oil nation, not some of these other countries you would think italy. i mean italy is a little bit disastrous when it comes to the budget and the situation there but this is extraordinary. will president trump's strong arm tactics get the other members to pony up the money required for a membership? while we're waiting for the presid

the new foreign secretary says brussels needs to accept the entire package.the only ones who can't do the cherry picking. if they want a deep and special partnership with britain going forward, then we have to look at our relationship as a whole. more than 26 million people saw england's heartbreak, as their dream of a place in the world cup final came to an end. devastated fans will have to wait another four years for another attempt but they praised their team them new confidence. and coming up on bbc news, can serena williams keep her bid for an eighth wimbledon title alive? she's in semifinal action today against germany's julia gorges. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. donald trump is arriving in britain this lunchtime for his first visit as president of the united states. his plane is in the air from brussels and should be touching down in the uk within the hour. his visit comes straight off the back of a fractious nato summit at which the president has been pushing european allies to increase defence spending. in the last hour presiden

with the german marshall fund of the united states joining us tonight from brussels mr tension always always we appreciate your insights thank you thank you very much. over from that. the u.s. president traveled on to what he called hot spot britain he arrives during what has already been a difficult week for prime minister theresa may two key members of her cabinet resigned over her handling of britain's exit from the european union. trump is adding fuel to the fire by weighing in on the issue or earlier this evening she doff his four day visit with a black tie at blenheim palace near the city of oxford and first lady were welcomed by theresa may. visit the two leaders are expected to talk about a bilateral trade deal police expect more than one hundred subprocess the country during the. our let's check in with our correspondents barbara visual she is outside the u.s. ambassador's residence in london that is where president trump is spending the night good evening to you barbara yeah it's certainly not a peaceful evening a hundred protests expected across the country the u.s. embassy

president trump in brussels. what do you think inspire the administration to unveil these $200 billion of tariffs? is it the ongoing concerns over intellectual property theft or something else. >> i think it's the concerns about the international coffee they want the chinese to bring a kpliet and total stop to it's this deal back and forth taking on its own momentum you get a situation where if the chinese responds, the united states will feel it needs to respond. when the united states responds, the chinese need to step it up both sides say enough is enough. maybe they have enough in mind that is a stopping point in their mind we'll wait and see for that. i think if you look at those comments from the president here, guys, against germany, the political significance is that the president of the united states is criticizing germany for the very thing that the nato allies have criticized him for, being too close to russia. the president signaling to the nato allies, you know what, if you krit size me, i know where

the part is selling this to brussels. it will bea is selling this to brussels., brexit editor of politico in brussels. welcome to bbc news. do you think this is a starting point for negotiation or is it effectively the cherry picking that the eu said it was not prepared to talk about? the reaction in initially is relief that there is a unified cabinet position that they can engage with. and undoubtedly there has been some give—and—ta ke, brussels will take this seriously. i was at an event yesterday where the chief negotiator was speaking at, michel barnier. this was before the announcement of the deal at chequers but nonetheless it was very significant that he was saying, he devoted a lot of his speech to the integrity of the single market. he was saying this was the heart of the european budget, it is the single most economic public good provided by the european union and it —— he was adamant that that was going to be unravelled. by the looks of it, if you‘ll get to be‘s plan, it does look like trying to unravel parts of the single market. there are freedom of

let's bring in jeremy diamond live in brussels.dent was bringing to brussels, but is it surprising how he came out swinging with stoltenberg right there at breakfast? >> reporter: that's right. the u.s. president certainly wasting no time bringing his combative approach here to brussels. the president opened up his first public comments in brussels during a breakfast with the nato secretary-general, jens stoltenberg, talking about nato allies' defense spending, something that has been a frequent course of this president, but he really singled out certain countries in particular, and one of the countries that were targeted was germany, one of the united states' closest allies, of course, an ally who has fought alongside the united states. and the president accused germany of being captive of russia, totally controlled by russia. why the president is pointing in particular to a deal that germany and russia have with regards to natural gas. germany importing billions of dollars in russian natural gas. and the president saying that tha

we will use the funds returned from brussels after brexit to invest in our public services.eman, the leader of the opposition. per figures are so dodgy they belong on the side of a bus. until this government can be straight with people, about where the money is coming from, why should anyone, anyone anywhere trust them on the nhs? or the 17 years of the nhs, 443 of those years it has been under the stewardship of a conservative government. we have, despite taking difficult and necessary decisions on public spending in 2010, as a result of the deficit left by the last labour government, we have consistently put extra money into the national health service. then prime minister 's questions, there was a moment of high drama in middle ofjune. the scottish westminster governments we re scottish westminster governments were at odds over the eu withdrawal bill and what it might mean for devolution. the scottish national party reckoned that the westminster government was launching a power grab to try and hold onto power coming back to the uk from brussels. it spilt over into westmin

sometimes speaking to brussels...to me to be extortionate and to go whistle is an appropriate expression. and even lecturing theresa may. is the brexit plan crazy? are you ready to resign? calling the prime minister's ideas "crazy" in herfavourite paper and not resigning was pushing it. many loyalists thought so. i don't want him managing the brexit process. this is back seat driving. you could call it that. i hope my colleagues in parliament will get behind her in the same way. but that wasn't the borisjohnson way. crossing the globe as foreign secretary was. the ceremonies, the salutes and the silly media stunts that somehow only he knew how to carry off. 200 million—year—old light form. and the borisjohnson way owed nothing to conventional idea of collective responsibility, as when he rubbished the notion of a brexit compromise. and the risk is that we will end up in an anteroom of the eu. his political stock fell when he was quoted saying if business didn't like brexit, "f" business, and he was somehow in afghanis

i think brussels may have pushed back.nce respected think tank said brussels was likely to come by —— to come back and say no, but... it wouldn't have been a straightforward no. possibly a starting point for a deal, but i'm not sure how she can move forward after accepting these amendments. according to the i, she will give mps early summer holiday to save her job. has this been decided that the parliamentary recess would be brought forward? no, iwonder whether labour and the snp will vote for that, but you can see quite for theresa may that looks appealing to get her ministers out of parliament and crucially out of conversation with each other, so they don't plot any more attempts to undermine her personally or sabotage her policies. ican see personally or sabotage her policies. i can see why that's appealing but it makes her look even more week that she is thinking of doing this, it's like an avoidance rather than dealing with the issue head on. it's like an avoidance rather than dealing with the issue head onli agree it

from brussels, our europe editor katya adler.ssels, confronting the same old brexit challenges. michel barnier, the eu's by now rather dour chief negotiator, has been in on this process from the start. our challenge will be to find common ground between the fundamental principles that define the eu and the uk positions. the smiling enthusiasm of the new brexit secretary came in stark contrast. i come out today to discuss the detailed proposals that we've got in our white paper, that you will have seen. and i'm looking forward to, with renewed energy, vigor and vim, heating up the negotiations, and making sure we're in the best position to get the best deal. is the government stable enough to make a deal with brussels? dominic raab's upbeat message doesn't quite match the political turmoil we've seen this week in westminster. the eu is not convinced by the new brexit secretary's calm, confident message. are you sure? we were really presented several positions, and great britain was facing even some resignings of ministers and of s
