there are some interesting messages from this new cabinet.a vast majority of women in ministerial positions. that is unusual for any government. it says a lot. is trying to position himself as a forwardthinking prime minister who believes in equality and that it is not about men and women it is about getting the right person for the job. he thinks there are some very talented women. he has gone for someone talented women. he has gone for someone who sends a signal our that he does not believe in catalan independence. someone who is a cata la n independence. someone who is a catalan was put into government who believes in keeping the whole country together. he sends a signal as well that he is very pro— european. if you look at the peak of ministers he has many european expertise in there. people who want to deepen european integration as he does. following on from this, brussels is breathing a sigh of relief after a turbulent time with italy. such a contrast with italy. on one hand and lisa is that we want to reform the whole european union i

attacks theresa may about splits in her cabinet over brexit. the real risk to jobs in our country is a prime minister who is having to negotiate around the clock with our own cabinet to stop it falling apart. but the prime minister defends her government's record and its approach to brexit. a britain fit for the future, and leaving the eu on the 29th of march, 2019! also on this programme: mps back plans to ban the sale of knives online. and in the lords an archbishop calls for an end to religious hatred, wherever it comes from. if you don't mind, an african saying, when two elephants fight, or make love, the grass gets hurt. but first: jeremy corbyn has challenged theresa may about cabinet splits over brexit. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, is reported to have responded to concerns from big companies about our exit from the eu, by saying "eff business". in contrast the business secretary

internal issues in the cabinet.tiate because we do not know what you want. we have the irony that david cameron held the referendum to resolve the eu issue and now two years on the conservative party is divided as ever. looking at specifics, the meeting at chequers, what we seem to be expecting is a proposal to keep britain in the single market for goods are not services. this is what is emerging as a possibility. a lot of european leaders said this weekend it is not a runner was maybe the europeans are playing a strong negotiation line will stop the problem is that britain will probably have to, they are not going to be giving a cart blanche and saying it is fine. there will be a problem over migration. how far is the british government in some way prepared to accept free movement? they will dress it up in some way but i cannot see the eu saying you can have something without free movement. i think that will be a red line. we have a very banal statement which has been true for the past few yea rs which has been tru

it seems to be an it in the cabinet.ssing, that you think these are the people who are running the country, who are behaving frankly worse than any football fans that anybody would thought behave badly going to russia. they are behaving like louts. and this story in the observer, top tory tells ministers, pulled together or risk jeremy corbyn in downing street. —— pull. the chairman of the 1922 backbench committee, he looks after all the backbench mps, saying that we are being more loyal and more united than those in the cabinet. yes, sir graham brady. that 1922 committee is very powerful. it is probably, i think, where a vote of no confidence would begin. yes. it would be sent to him. the point here is making is that it to him. the point here is making is thatitis to him. the point here is making is that it is notjust the unity of backbenchers. all of those backbenchers. all of those backbenchers and every mp has to go backbenchers and every mp has to go back to their constituency and deal with people who are saving, th

but it's not crossing any sort of red lines of collective cabinet responsibility.was a private remark everyone can pretend... the public watching that, if you are the foreign secretary at such a crucial time you cannot make private, private remarks begin and end. the independent has said we ought to get rid of boris for quite some time. he is a joke as a foreign secretary. he's not really contributing constructively to the brexit thing. he is noises off, no question. the question is what is the shape of a white paper that theresa may is going to present to the cabinet, will they sign off on it? the big questions and we were talking about this before we came into the studio, big questions about freedom of movement, the irish border and another which is a huge hurdle. as far as the public, particularly those who want to go and are keen on leaving, getting on with it, cannot make it out. cannot work out what's going on. whether there is any possibility. there is a lot of talk but we never seem to get over these hurdles. she's still trying to reconcile the irreconcilab

if his cabinet and this is a tough epic hypothetical, if the cabinet were to come and say, mr. president there's a national security risk there than i think the president would be allowed to follow that advice even if in his private heart of hearts -- i think it would be difficult for that to satisfy. i whitney to know what the rationale is given that they happen to be the closest allies. it's not clear that you could satisfy his standard. must was based on a cabinet level recommendation based on national security. >> this is an out-of-the-box type of president in my hypothetical. >> we don't have those your honor. >> he thinks they're good, diplomatic reasons and knows what the future holds. there might be good reasons to put pressure on israel were to say we want israel to vote a certain way and this is a way to better our diplomatic hand. he knows what his heart of hearts is. the question is, the question is, what are reasonable observers given this context in which this hypothetical president is making anti-semitic comments. >> it's a tough hypothetical but that w thisively

we get mixed messages from the cabinet.net minister, that business can f off, which is not going to be very well received in global boardrooms. when will we get an absolutely unambiguous and consistent message from the cabinet, that says you are determined and committed to achieve frictionless trade and fast trade through the borders? every single member of the cabinet would say they want frictionless trade with the european union. we believe it's in their interests, we believe it's in our interests, we believe it's in our mutual interest that that should be the case. the "f off"john neill was referring to was supposedly said by this man, borisjohnson. today he was asked in parliament, was that really his attitude to business? i don't think anybody could doubt the passionate support of this government for business, and it may be — it may be that from time to time i have expressed scepticism about some of the views of those who profess to speak up for business. this is all about the biggest car—makers in britain, which emplo

but first: jeremy corbyn has challenged theresa may about cabinet splits over brexit.gn secretary, borisjohnson, is reported to have responded to concerns from big companies about our exit from the eu, by saying "eff business". in contrast the business secretary greg clark and theresa may have reassured that their concerns are being listened to. the business secretary believes that business is entitled to be listened to with respect. i'm sorry to see the foreign secretary is not today with us. he... he takes a very different view using an anglo—saxon term to make his point. which is the prime minister's view. this party and this government has always been a party that will back business and will continue to back business. can i say to the right honourable gentleman that if he wants to start standing up and talking in good terms about business he has a decision to make. he can either back business or he can want to overthrow capitalism. he can't do both. i take the prime minister's response as a thumbs down to the foreign secretary. in recent days, there have been unpre

do you think theresa may will be able to resolve the differences in her cabinet? yes.ill. she will, why are you confident when...? because i know her. so you trust that she will be able to get her party together? i was always trusting the british. yet the eu‘s frustrated. hanging around for britain. in a week, we should know what they are waiting for. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. we‘re joined now via webcam from oxford by arnand menon, who‘s director of the independent research body "uk in a changing europe". thank you very much for giving up some of your time this evening. what about these words? last call, late cards in the table, difficulties. what we read into all of these comments was yellow i suppose we read into this that it‘s a negotiation. actually, we don‘t need to come to a final agreement until december, but the member states are trying to put pressure on us today and in particular put pressure on her cabinet to come to an agreement next week and it makes their life easier if the cabinet comes out with a clear green line next friday. if they don‘t

i call this the drain the swamp cabinet meeting. i know we talked about that during the campaign and you talked about that since have you been here. today we are introducing the actual actions that follow up on those words. to show people what we meant when we said drain the swamp. later on after the press leaves, you will hear from andrew brenberg, mr. mcmahon and i think mr. hearken on the executive order dealing with civil service reform. what i want to talk about the government reorganization very, very briefly. when we got into this, one of the things we learned is that it has been almost 100 years since anybody really reorganized the government at this type of scale. been since fdr and his new deal where he changed the way the government worked and we haven't changed it very much since then. which means we are almost 20% into the 21st century but still dealing with a government that is from the earliest 20th century. this leads, mr. president, to some bizarre results. in fact, the stories, you don't know where to start. right

the cabinet are behaving appallingly. of life you would fire people like that. even in the political walk of life was the gavin williamson, boris johnson, walk of life was the gavin williamson, borisjohnson, even liz truss, you would sack those people, but she is so fragile she can't risk having them on the backbenches, but the point graham brady makes which is most important, the public actually are bored with and don't like divided parties. it has been the death of the tory party and the deathknell for them for years and yea rs deathknell for them for years and years and we know the elections... the electorate is volatile, but he says they don't vote for divided parties, that is for certain. when they again to be banging these heads together at chequers next week, she will have to get them onside supposedly to go down one road or another but then there's the of the party as well. before she even gets to brussels. so what you will get, it is likely, if she gets her way, the hard brexiteers will not like it, and the quest

where we are, about the state of the cabinet at the moment?to me today, complaining about theresa may's inability to get a grip on her allies. i think this latest saga tops of what has been a difficult week for the prime minister which we say every week, comes after she faced down a cabinet revolt, she was forced to bring david davis into number ten twice yesterday in order to see off resignation threats, it seems she is buffeted from pillar to post at the moment. and how much of that at the moment specifically, how much of this is to do with the real pressure with the brexit timetable now? i know we have been saying for a long time time is running out, but if you look at what is coming down next week, the eu summit and for a few weeks after, the pressure is really on and is that part of it, that some big decisions have been put off and now there is so little time left? i think that is absolutely right. we see next week with the eu withdrawal bill coming back to the commons, we will not get some answers on some of the most difficult questions,

very much so, there has been increasing reports over the past week of cabinet in discipline, cabinet own thoughts on all sorts of subjects, brexit and other areas, that normally you would not here because those ideas would be kept within the sanctity of cabinet, the collective responsibility. borisjohnson said what he thought business should go and do, i will not repeat it, it is and do, i will not repeat it, it is afamily and do, i will not repeat it, it is a family show. we had craig clarke slapping him down and saying business is important. we had liz truss, publicly mocking michael gove over some of his environment policies. it was a job she had until she was shunted out. exactly, mocking him in what some say was just a joke and others thinking it is strange to see cabinet colleagues mocking each other on policy areas. savage avid among others making it clear they want more money for their departments —— sajid javid. and now we hear, albeit from a private event, that michael gove, who had been given the task, as had other members of the cabinet, exploring different options for th

on the behalf of this member of the cabinet. what's the defense here? i was kidding? setting aside the issue of whether or not scott pruitt will ever b prosecuted for this, how is it possible that congress has not lit up like a fireworks show over this blatant abuse of office? the obvious answer, of course, is that congress is republican controlled and so when it comes to behavior like this by trump administration officials they just don't want to know. even so, it does seem like scott pruitt might even be pushing it with republicans. iowa senator joanie ernst is one of a number of farm state republicans upset with scott pruitt anyway. she says scott pruitt lied to her about the renewable fuel standard, an important thing for iowa farmers. beyond that, though, she sounded today like she was starting to get a little fed upith the ostentatious part of what scott pruitt is doing at that agency as well. >>>. >> i will remain highly critical of administratorpruitt. only do we gree on the rfs but there are a number of other transgressions that we have seen coming out of tha

the cabinet and from the lower ranks as well.minister, says she is refreshing the team entirely. a big change, a big development. also this week, we have had a big move that holyrood, the education bill has been shelved, that was a ill, a flagship measure designed to bring substantial changes to the way scotland schools are run. it has been shelved, as i say. education secretary john swinney says he can yet around that, he can follow a short cut method of bringing further powers to scotland's head teachers in a deal with local authorities. but his opponents say it's a boorach, which is a scots gaelic word for a muddle. alongside these and many other things happening in holyrood, there is a permanent presence, it is of course brexit. discussed everywhere, breaking out into big disputes from time to time, and underlying it all, you have a fundamental dispute between the scottish parliament and the westminster parliament. the scottish government and the uk government, the concerns of powers in devolved areas like farming are due to

does it feel the cabinet is coming together?nment and the lack of clarity is what he and many people are objecting to. the lack of clarity is what he and many people are objecting tolj don't think anyone can deny the fact there are not different views on brexit in the cabinet in a sense i'm getting is that they realised they had to make a choice and i suspect you will see a lot of intense discussions in the next few months and one side will have to win over the other. you have to do this one thing or the other. that has not been happening. we have avoided making choices so far but there are only a few months left so choices have to be made and somebody will be disappointed. it is clearly a coordinated effort this morning with borisjohnson coordinated effort this morning with boris johnson writing, coordinated effort this morning with borisjohnson writing, david davis writing, liam fox giving interviews, those pro—brexit cabinet ministers are out in force on the date we are expecting the big pro remain march in london. and we nee

spain's new prime minister has appointed 11 women and 6 men to his cabinet.ounced his choices on wednesday evening. it means females make up more than 60% of the country's ministers. only a handful of countries have governments where at least half of ministers are women, including france and sweden. but as andrew plant reports, it's not european countries that lead the way when it comes to numbers of female politicians. it marks, he said, a turning point for spanish society. a nationwide feminist strike in march, a demand for equal pay, equal rights and equal representation. spain's new prime minister pedro sanchez has wasted no time putting gender equality into practice. translation: this government unequivocably committed to equality. spain changed last march, there was a before and after in a country with the feminist mobilisations and this government is a true reflection of that movement. taking over from the ousted mariano rajoy, pedro sanchez announced a cabinet that is more than 60% female. 11 women, including the new deputy prime minister carmen ca lv

with a one public, and this cabinet responsibility has gone to the wayside.vidual voices, coupled with the wea kness individual voices, coupled with the weakness of a prime minister who was wounded as a result of the general election a year ago, the best spin she can possibly put on this, and it's true, is that her cabinet is divided in a way that the country is on brexit. she has to plot some way through it. up until now it's been sensible for her to play for time, different things, try and avoid confrontation. but there is only so long you can do that when you are confronted with trying to secure a deal and the deadline for that getting ever closer. thank you, chris. the army is staying in saddleworth over the weekend to help keep control of the moorland blaze. around 100 soldiers who were initially deployed on thursday will stay until monday, following a request by the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham. the fires were contained yesterday, but it could take weeks before they're fully extinguished. thousands of people in the united states are holding

we often the cabinet but not in brussels. we ofte n forget the cabinet but not in brussels.n forget in this country the european union has a load of other issues on its plate at the moment, raging from the —— ranging from the migration crisis, what is happening in italy, the eurozone crisis and how you fix the euro zone so with the exception of the island, i don't think there is another member state phone brexit is the number—i issue. that means it might limit the airtime theresa may gets at the summit. thank you very much for coming in to talk to us. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. two us senators have urged president donald trump to reconsider his agreement with zte, saying the company is loyal to the chinese government and poses a threat to national security. in april, american technology suppliers were prohibited from selling components to zte, after the company violated us laws by selling products to iran and north korea. google has announced the biggest—ever rebranding of its advertising software. it will discontinue doubleclick and adwo

ina you are seeing anybody from the cabinet in a restaurant or department store, gasoline station, getn them. which is, i guess, darling of the tension a little between representatives of both parties and also between the public and members of this administration. of course, interestingly enough, the press secretary was expelled from a restau ra nt press secretary was expelled from a restaurant on friday in lexington, virginia. it goes to show that people are following this advice. people have criticised mrs waters for making these comments, saying it ta kes for making these comments, saying it takes us away from the main point, the immigration debate, and gives fight to both sides and incinerates the debate further. it is interesting comment, i guess. as you say, fears that it distracts from what is happening in the country when there is a loss of white noise, which does not really get anywhere, you don't get behind the headlines and understand what is really happening. the danger is that if this is encouraged, that is all people will see. yes, and of course, and just imagine if peopl

the cabinet was informed and i can say that the cabinet gave almost entirely universal support.aiming almost entirely universal support. that support was something he was lacking the day before when he was again on his feet to a nswer before when he was again on his feet to answer questions about the chaos caused by rail timetabling changes. passengers on the northern and govia thameslink networks had faced repeated delays and cancellations. in the commons, the transport secretary began by apologising. passengers on these franchises are facing u nsatisfa ctory levels of service. it is mine and my department's number one priority to make sure the industry restores reliability for passengers to an acceptable level as soon as possible. i will assure passengers that i share the frustration and i'm sorry this has taken place. no one will take responsibility for great britain's rail industry. amid the clamour, recriminations and buckpassing, there is one person who is ultimately responsible, that is the right honourable gentleman, the memberfor epsom and ewell, the secretary of state

two years since the eu referendum, cabinet ministers insist the uk is prepared to walk away from brexit talks without a deal. i think it is essential, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that the european union understands that and believes it. anti—brexit campaigners prepare to march in london to demand a vote on the final deal. detention centres on military bases — america's latest plan for thousands of migrants crossing from mexico, according to us media. in sport, we'll have a full round—up of last night's world cup action including switzerland's victory against serbia. also coming up this hour, tackling plastic pollution. sir david attenborough launches a new campaign, and says he's been "astonished" by the response to the blue planet series. and the travel show team find out how to to explore florence on a budget. that's in a half an hour's time here on bbc news. good morning and welcome to bbc news. two years on from the eu referendum, cabinet ministers insist the uk is prepared to walk away from brexit talks without a deal, saying the prime minister is "not bluffing"

cabinet divisions run deep as the government prepares to set this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: the editor of the daily mail, paul dacre, after 26 years at the helm, is to step down. good evening and welcome to bbc news. good evening. the grenfell tower inquiry has been told that police were so concerned about the safety of the man who lived in the flat where the fire started that they considered putting him in a witness protection programme. behailu kebede, who'd lived at grenfell tower for 25 years, was too frightened to give evidence at the public inquiry into last year's blaze. but his lawyer said he bore no responsibility for the fire and had done nothing wrong. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. it's nearly a year now. the tower is slowly being covered up. but there is an unwavering determination to remember those who called it home, with these words appearing today. one of those residents was behailu kebede. his kitchen was where the fire started. this is him making the first 999 call. his lawyer said he fled barefoot, phone in hand

it is and that's a remarkable fact it is a cabinet largely made up of total political newcomers novices if you want the only exception is the foreign minister but everybody else has and says so far not even organized city hall and that can well turn out to be one of the first and biggest challenges off this new government because they need to figure out what is this ministry that i am all of a sudden supposed to lead an organized particularly for finance minister here who yes to day nobody had ever heard of he's an economics professor from rome will have a hard time to come to grips with the challenges that the italian finance ministry being so it will not be an easy beginning after the festive part is over when prime minister comes they nominated paolo's to vote as finance minister italy's president said no because he was too euro skeptic now he's to be the e.u. minister should be you be worried. not about that at least phil because this is nothing but a indecent hand gesture of mild to me the boss of the league part of this coalition here who he had wanted and when he couldn't get to

and some of those cabinet divisions then made things harderfor some of those cabinet divisions then madethose cabinet divisions then made things harderfor mrs may, with rumours that the brexit secretary david davis was threatening to resign if he didn't get a particular thing as part of that pushed through. that seemed to just about go away, some suggesting that theresa may had done well. then a recording emerges of borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, saying he didn't think the talks were going well and that they could even go into meltdown. so theresa may disappeared off to the g7 summit in canada, but by the time she landed, all of the boris johnson canada, but by the time she landed, all of the borisjohnson recordings had emerged. so she is now talking tough, trying to regain some of the initiative. people like boris have strong views on brexit, but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people. that is what people wa nt british people. that is what people want and! british people. that is what people want and i am doing it. how many times can we get to this position where

the cabinet at too divided to publish the white paper on brexit before the summit —— the cabinet are. they will agree on their "position " because it is not clear what that means. then presumably, the white paper will be published but that will be difficult. there are more difficult votes in july. and then the most difficult bit of all begins, which is the negotiation between the uk and the rest of the european union. yes. this is just trying to clarify britain's position. there are many, many other countries involved, that is what we forget. this is a very mean thing to do to you, but a quick, final thought about the leader herself, the prime minister herself. how many times have we all sat around this table saying, she is vulnerable, she is vulnerable. your thoughts at the end of a difficult week? more likely than not she will carry on until the end of this process. but it cannot be definite. because of the fragilities we have been talking about. a replaced leader changes nothing of the things that we have been talking about, the context. she's so lucky that this brexit... if there

now, we will be bringing the cabinet together within the next week.o many cabinet disputes at home, do they really believe she can up the speed? i do understand that it is difficult to come to agreements within our cabinet and within uk parliament, but she has to. but the problem, then, is to whom should we listen? are you worried about the lack of progress on brexit? yes. why? i don't have to lecture theresa may, but i would like our british friends to make clear their positions, so we don't have to go on to live with a split cabinet. they have to say what they want and we will respond to it. and this from the leader who is closest to the brexit problem that is hardest to solve. now, we're two years telling people it cannot be cherry—picking. it cannot be cake and eat it. and so it needs to understand we are a union of 27 member states, 500 million people. we have laws and rules and principles, and they cannot be changed for any one country, even a great country like britain. any relationship that exists in the future between the eu and the uk isn't

can your cabinet to come together. going well when two years on eu leaders say britain needs to get its act together? we have been setting out our position and at every stage, last december and at every stage, last december and in march, we have made agreements on the issues we discussed and agreed we will talk about. now we will bring the cabinet together in the next week, we will then publish our white paper setting out in more detail what a strong partnership the uk wants to see with the eu in future but that is a partnership which i believe is not just about the interests of the uk but the wider interests of the youth and that's why i'm confident we can discuss that at pace and ensure we achieve what we want, which is that continuing partnership with the eu on economic and security matters. we have already been able to encourage and get flexibility from the eu on matters. i will set out our position for the future and what i want to do, what i'm sure leaders want to do, what i'm sure leaders want to do, is ensure w

now what is the cabinet doing at the moment? well, they spent two years arguing.l about how to create a "deep and special" lifeboat. they are trying to discuss whether they can come up with a lifeboat that will not breach its red lines. they've broken up into working groups. they're probably discussing the size, colour and shape of the lifeboat. the only thing that hasn't happened yet is a minister hasn't got up at the dispatch box and announced that no lifeboat is better than a bad lifeboat. six mps resigned from junior roles in the shadow cabinet to defy the leadership. in all, 75 labour mp rebelled in favour of keeping the uk in the european economic area, while 15 labour brexit supporters rebelled to vote against. the ayes to the right, 327. noes to the left, 126. ministers easily won the vote to throw out the idea. well, the eu withdrawal bill isn't quite the creature it was when it was first drafted, but that's the nature of bills. bits are added and removed, changed, reinstated and maybe even removed again. so how does it feel if you're the person who draft

jeh johnson, you've been in the cabinet. you've seen it all as part of the obama campaign as well back in 2008. this is a very dramatic step for fairs l a first lady who has not done very many trips on her own, if at all. >> i'm glad she's there. i think one of the things she will discover when you talk to these women and children. when you look into their eyes you'll see desperate people who want a better life. you won't see, for the most part, you won't see people who are criminals. you'll see women who want a better life for their children. literally clinging to their children who have contemporary d -- carried them. >> we're talking about thousands of miles. >> struck by the physical strength that must go into a woman carrying her child that whole distance and how they are desperate for a better life in the united states. >> what we understand is there you can see that she is at this center. it's a lutheran center we're told. non-profit. she's accompanied by the hhs secretary. craig melvin, i believe this is an hhs facil

when you basically attacking a member of the cabinet.a standing amongst his peers is kind of iffy, given that he's got a shot at leadership in the future, he probably thinks he has. your paper, the guardian, says where's boris? this is the great moment, and this he looks faintly amused by it and he certainly wasn't the only prominent tories during this, a very long—standing opponent, is to be a cabinet colleague boris johnson, long—standing opponent, is to be a cabinet colleague borisjohnson, she is as well, took a grab of greg's tweeze pin tweet is standing by his words. —— tweet. one that does it matter in terms of long terms? because they heathrow vote has happened, now both parties are being divided by it. david cameron, nil is, no buts, and a third runway. and theresa may state on that manifesto and cheerfully came back a manifesto that allowed them to go ahead with it. i think we are still where we expect our politicians, at least on the service to tell us the truth on what's going on. add a dab in a number of times where there is

now we will be bringing the cabinet together within the next week.but with so many cabinet disputes at home, do they really believe she can up the speed? i do understand it is difficult to come to agreements within our cabinet and within uk parliament but she has to. the problem is, to whom should we listen? are you worried about the lack of progress on brexit? yes. why? i don't have to lecture theresa may that i would like our british friends to make clear their positions, so we can go on to live with a split cabinet. they have to say what they want and we will respond to it. and hear this from the leader who is closest to the brexit problem that is hardest to solve. now, we're two years telling people it cannot be cherry picking. it cannot be cake and eat it. and so it needs to understand we are a union of 27 member states, 500 million people. we have laws and rules and principles and they cannot be changed for any one country — even a great country like britain. any relationship that exists in the future between the eu and the uk isn't going to be

we cannot go on to live with a split cabinet.at. and hear this from the leader who is closest to the brexit problem that's hardest to solve. we're two years telling people that it can't be cherry picking. it can't be cake and eat it. so it needs to understand that we're a union of 27 member states, 500 million people. we have laws and rules and principles and they can't be changed for any one country, even a great country like britain. and any relationship that exists in the future between the eu and the uk isn't going to be one of absolute equals. 0uch. this is not a friendly competition. a lot more than world cup football strips are up for grabs. the future of our trade, migration, the irish border — it's all up for discussion, but not today. the eu has bigger problems on their mind with the migration crisis. yet the union does not want to budge. they believe they have the stronger game. it feels familiar now for theresa may to arrive here in brussels and be told, "get on with it," by her fellow european leaders. remember, this
