his colleague david davis in the eu. his colleague david davis in the house of commons this afternoon speaking the mps also said that the uk had to be prepared for a no deal scenario. he said that was the best way of getting a good deal out of the european union. but in front of the european union. but in front of the home affairs select committee, amber rudd, the home secretary, was asked the same question by labour. there has obviously been discussion

david davis. no deal —— david davis draws up no deal. no deal was better than a bad deal. better than a bad deal. that is not the view of everyone in the capital, i don't think philip hammond would agree with that and all with some of the others, but this is david davis, the brexit secretary, drawing up a clear picture of what a no deal would actually mean. to be honest, this is actually mean. to be honest, this is a way of putting pressure on the negotiations and they want the eu sighter believe that we do mean it when we say that we are prepared to sanction the possibility of no deal. what in essence he would be saying, we are prepared to take the hit. we know it would be damaging in the short term because we would have these... we would lose the prospect of frictionless trade which we have always said we wanted, but we are willing to take that. the question then is whether the other leaders in hose then is whether the other leaders in nose will believe that we really mean it, or that david davis really means it —— the other leaders in europe. for the eu 27, there are ind

know today there are these 58 report into various areas of the economy which david davis said would bea economy which davidn to people sitting on the other side of the negotiation table in the brexit negotiations. it's very disappointing. in the past he has a lwa ys disappointing. in the past he has always been a champion of open government, certainly when he was mp, and i'm disappointed he has taken this position. the eu now that the british economy is very vulnerable. if we finish crashing out enormous damage will be done. it'll be helpful to everybody, including the british industry is faced with these challenges, if the fa cts faced with these challenges, if the facts were spelt out. keeping them secret probably makes people fear they are worse than they actually are. given we know of the state of the negotiations right now, how likely do you judge a no deal outcome? it is increasingly likely. six months ago most people felt the government would get the benefit of the doubt, they would negotiate what was called soft brexit at the time. the options are increasing. they are increasing because the british

david davis will be making a speech shortly. liam fox is talking there now. it will be davidung who is in manchester and, vicki young, interesting to hear what david davis has to say, especially after that talk of disunity and lack of clarity? that's right. it's been a very different message from the british side in all of that. they feel there's been some progress and that the words after the last round of talks last week we re the last round of talks last week were much warmer and they hope they can progress to that crucial next stage. it's certainly a theme of brexit this afternoon, liam fox just speaking in the conference hall there. david davis coming up. then borisjohnson the there. david davis coming up. then boris johnson the foreign there. david davis coming up. then borisjohnson the foreign secretary after that. i'm going to show you the queue. this hasn't happened yet at this conference, but if you just look down here, you can sea a very long queue forming already for this afternoon's event and, i've just been speaking to a slightly stressed conservative party offi

four main parties leaving this dinner, and there were bear hugs between david davis and jean—claude juncker. bear hugs between david, you hold your friends close and your enemies closer. we know he does have his sas training. we are looking at this, from the perspective of we should do more, but the european union also need to get a good deal done, and i'm not saying any of that, it is very frustrating. many more stories. also in the guardian panama papers report killed in bombing. this is a good story, i'm so bombing. this is a good story, i'm so glad it is prominent in the guardian, what is going on in malta is very significant. a journalist, the most famous investigative journalist in malta, her car was blown up this afternoon, she did her la st blown up this afternoon, she did her last blog this afternoon and then hercar last blog this afternoon and then her car blew last blog this afternoon and then hercar blew up last blog this afternoon and then her car blew up at three o'clock. her blogs get more readers than all of the newspapers in malta put together, she is huge and has been running... she has been calle

comes back from brussels with and the government has promised them that so when david davis suggested that so when davido to the last minute, after the deadline of 2019, a lot of mps, especially labour once, asked what it would mean for their vote if they go to the deadline. there then had to be some clarification from the prime minister and david davis, the brexit secretary of state himself, saying they are confident they will get a deal done in time to bring a vote back to the houses of parliament, for mps to have their say. what is interesting about this is that it highlights the timescale these negotiations are under right now. in orderfor the parliament negotiations are under right now. in order for the parliament in the negotiations are under right now. in orderfor the parliament in the uk to have a vote and for the 27 other countries to sign off any deal, that deal must be done by this time next year, in about 12 months because the clock is ticking on the entire process of getting out of the eu by march 2019. david davis was saying that it may go down to the wire and what it shows is how tight th

chair of the welsh affairs committee and conservative member of parliament from moment in wales david davis david thanks for coming back on going underground so what's the atmosphere going to be like in man just a given you are the largest party again after the general election but there are demonstrations all around the city of manchester this week. well at least demonstrations because the hard left or at the person ought to don't like the fact that democracy means i don't always win you know i've been fighting elections food twenty five years or so you win some you lose seventy two separate sets the weather the people i've won and lost referendums as well but there are some people out there who don't accept that you have a kind of frankly fascistic view that. they are right and everyone the majority is wrong and that if the majority are doing what they want and no use force to try to have their way it's a pity that cd figures in the labor party don't seem willing to disassociate themselves without albeit that the hard left some of whom support your position on bricks it because of the need for

potentially could replace theresa may if there was a leadership challenge, david davis and boris johnson, leadership challenge, davidhe poll is relatively small. they want to widen the pool, bring in new names and faces. —— the pool is relatively small. perhaps broadening, widening the pool. borisjohnson's position, he posted on a conservative mp whatsapp group. criticised by many within the cabinet for not being loyal and up theresa may for undermining her, now, he seems to be one of her backers. suggestions that if there was a reshuffle, he could be demoted. former leader sirjohn major saying that disloyal plotting has to stop in the newspapers. someone who throughout his premiership had backbenchers trying to get rid of him, plotting to get rid of him. he knows what that is like and came to theresa may's defence, talking about her valiant effort and criticised the disloyal people who are plotting against terror, calling them self absorbed, doing it for the wrong reasons. the bigger picture, he said, if the conservative party do not win back hearts and minds that they lost in the general election, that could be go

we know david davis is talking with the eu and winnerat know david davis is talking with the eu and winnerhey are stuck on the bill. that is what we know. how much will it cost us to come away. there have been discussions around that but the fact we are still stuck on how much it'll cost, how much we have to pay get out, in the gina miller really must be right because these departments must have contemplated a no brexit deal, they must have done, so what gina miller is saying is show us these reports that show us the re ce nt these reports that show us the recent potential no deal on the table and help yourself by saying that you have planned for a no deal, there is a plan, because the big criticism of the brexit deal and the discussions is it all seems like everybody is just flying in with having no idea what is happening and it is the lack of information and professionalism but is going on with this, both sides, so it very difficult and this could give currency difficult and this could give currency which is something that if it isn't necessarily a part. 50 ways to leave your treaty, 50

they wanted and the prime minister has been clear she wants there to be a deal, as had david davies davis love —— davidrecognising relieving the european union. nicky morgan, thank you for your time. just want to show you the latest pictures from catalonia coming into us pictures from catalonia coming into us live here. pro—independence protesters gathering outside the cata la n protesters gathering outside the catalan government buildings to see... this of course after the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy said the regional ministers would be stripped of their power, effectively madrid imposing direct rule on catalonia. this constitutional stand—off continuing here, continuing that referendum, where catalonian leaders say 90% of participants voted for independence, even though 43% of voters turned out for the referendum. so the constitutional stand—off continuing between barcelona and madrid. now, snapchat has become the latest social media platform to fall foul of advertising rules. two posts on the mobile app by a reality tv star we re the mobile app by a reality tv star were found by the adverti

david davies also signs of the deal. david he wa nts to it's not the best case scenario, he wants to get a deal. but he is saying that for other countries like france and the netherlands, belgium, is not good for them either so their minds should be on getting the deal for them as well as the uk.” minds should be on getting the deal for them as well as the uk. i don't think any country in the world works only on those rules to think it's an interest of the eu and... i think what this highlights is that this government is in complete chaos. you've got one department saying one thing, undermining another. they not only don't agree with each other but they are actively undermining each other. it is time that the uk government worked with a devolved parliament in scotland and wales but will be supported with funding. i think that is very, very important. were not at the stage yet whether is no chance of a deal. the mood move is to serve improved. we there is chaos. the eu believe that the uk is far away from where it needs to be i

i hope david davies, because ollie robinson, has gone to number ten to help the prime minister. davides sir tim barrow, with further negotiators, top quality people. marks out of ten for how hopeful you are? five. david, thank you. we will speak more later. david is coming back. still to come: and gold — it's where nervous investors put their money in uncertain times, so why has this stuff lost its shine in the last few months? we'll speak to the uk's biggest bullion trader. you're with business live from bbc news. before we talk gold, and feel the stuff. we have a bullion in the studio. it is very well protected. it is. how can the uk train enough new engineers to work on the country's major infrastructure projects? by opening a new college dedicated to exactly that. the national college for high speed rail is designed to address the skills shortages faced notjust by hs2 but also the wider rail industry. steph mcgovern is there for us. this doesn't look like your average college. there is a train track in the middle of this brand—new education centre in doncaster. hello, good morning

david davies appealed for from the podium short while ago. michel barnierfor his part from the podium short while ago. michel barnier for his part says he is happy to have more meetings with david his team is talking over these technical brexit issues and is hopeful progress could be made by the time of the eu summit after that in december. norman smith in westminster, how much of a setback is this for the uk government? the view of ministers is that michel barnier was always likely to say no because they view this asjust part of likely to say no because they view this as just part of the negotiations. it's a high—stakes negotiations, both sides will play hardball. it will go down to the wire but the danger is if neither side blinks any time soon, you get into no deal country and in the last few minutes the labour party have written to mr davies to say get yourself back to brussels next week to carry on negotiating to avoid are i'io to carry on negotiating to avoid are no deal scenario. this was their spokesman, keir starmer. you cannot mask the fact this is a failure to hitan mask the fact this is a failure to hit an important deadline. three months wasted on an unnecessary ge

david davis walks of crying, barnier feels he's pushed him far enough. the idea of david bit implausible. i think you're right, there are people on both sides who think there needs to be a moment of crisis in these talks to finally get everyone around the table. i think probably that moment of crisis will come before the end of the year because december, the final european council at the end of the year, we've got to start making progress by that point — otherwise the idea of a transition deal loses its value, companies will start making alternative plans. are they ready to do that now? some banks in the city of london are already making plans to move legal headquarters to other parts of the world, or other parts of europe rather. so that is starting to happen. but i think the central hope of the city and business is basically to get this deal done. thank you both very much. that is all for now. thanks to all our guests and particularly to my guests of the day. bye— bye. cloudier skies on the way through and into tomorrow. some sunshine, some clear spells. overnight, and

david davis to go to brussels and agree on something. all i can say to all of them is, didn't they see what happened at the european council summit when davidely wanting to move onto the next stage of the talks, in other words, the transition deal, and the trend, and michel barnier and the trend, and michel barnier and everybody else said, sorry, there has not been sufficient progress. i think that they are being a little naive, if i may say so. being a little naive, if i may say so. it is a way of putting pressure, when i watched liam fox today, babbling on the television programme, like he is a wizard who is going to make things happen...! there will not be able to make things happen, they will have to work closely with the enemy, if they are the enemy, to come up with a solution. and i find the childishness of some of the leading figures quite alarming.” childishness of some of the leading figures quite alarming. i am a fan of liam fox. my god! my god! laughter. really? we share a birthday. however we felt about the european council summit last week, i thought it was a bit more positive, ifelt summit last week, i thought it was a bit mor

david davis said that is the government's game two. davidr. what a mess! shambles! one thing one day, another thing the next. yesterday the secretary of state was asked by the secretary of state was asked by the brexit committee good about in our parliament be after 2019, the answer, yes, it could be. later in the day, the prime minister had a go at correcting him, then his own spokesperson had to clarify his remarks. today he says the vote will be before the deal is concluded. that is not good enough, mr speaker. this issue yesterday, i think feeds into the critics of the government, that ministers don't seem to be on the same page in all of this, they haven't got a grip on the challenges of the brexit negotiations. and certainly, it does create uncertainty. and of course, what is said here in westminster is heard in brussels. there are still lots of unknowns. what if we get that vote this time next year, and what of the commons rejects it? we don't know what would happen if that were to be the case. in all of these brexit negotiations this

how our markets pricing it in? we are joined by the head of u.s. equity and quantitative research at bank of america merrill lynch from london, savita subramanian. we know we will have an overhaul plan, the consensus seems to be that as soon as we get tax reform, there will be a boost for the markets. my question would be how sustainable the boosts be in the long run? great question. from an earnings standpoint, it is a positive. if we get a cut from 35% to something lower in the corporate tax rate, that would be accretive to earnings. the question is how much companies retain the benefit? that is ready you need to look at companies with pricing power. what typically happens when there is a policy driven earnings windfall like tax reform, companies are more competitive with less pricing power and had the benefit over to their end-user to lower prices. math is acut -- our cut in the corporate tax rate of 35% to 25% could add as much as 10% earnings growth to s&p earnings but we estimate half of that benefit will be handed over to consumers or passed along to lower prices, etc. it is a good in but maybe not as great as it is slated to be. vonnie: it might take a while for that to happen. the other things that might happen is to get this phased in tax relief the culprits, which he reported -- for corporate's, which means we would not get a full tax break until 2022. if that is the case, what does that do to the present earnings? savita: exactly. that is the big question, the timing and magnitude. there are has and have-nots under the scenario, so you want to look for companies that would get the repatriation act, cash overseas they could use to increase dividends, buy back stock. be would also probably willing to pay for companies that are paying a higher domestic tax. the example, companies with more domestic sales would benefit more from a tax cut, even a small one it there close to paying a 35% tax rate. i look at the market and i think that the benefit is probably going to be more likely from a psychological rather than fundamental basis, if that makes sense. sherry: after the tax bill, the senate passed the passive. it needs 50 votes. there will be holdouts. if there isn't a tax reform this year or early next year, what could be the negative impact on the stock markets?

paul: i do not know who was most vulnerable. i think if you are well positioned and preparation is done -- the most important thing about the reform is to be ready. fairview to plan and prepare -- pay of your to plan -- failure to plan is what leads to problems. i think our clients are at different stages of venues and that will play over the course of the next year. erik: i would like to know what you are hearing from clients. do they understand what these rules and timelines are and how they will be affected? paul: i do not think there is the level people would like to have of understanding and i think that stems of the challenge that some rules are still not clear. we have two months to go. still notules were clear on we have seen progress in areas like trading mandate and requirement to provide impartial access, but there are a couple of critical areas everyone is watching closely because they had be resolved before year's end. erik: and those are? all: -- transparency. and we have seen some flawed calculation part of the european rule, which would turn much not subject and that is the complete opposite of the u.s. as we are aware that is a challenge, we are working to resolve it. because investors are paying. one of the biggest complaints is the cost required. if you get all the cost of transparency with the benefits, it will be a long time before it is fixed and that could be a bad outcome for investors. regulatorsif mifid succeed in sorting out these lingering issues by january 1, it will not be perfect. what in the european market will still need work? paul: i think preparation. we are two months out, so if we change at this point, which we think would be the right thing to do it transparency requirements, the venue requirements are still not even clear who needs to trade which products on which platforms. the fact is there are two months to go and it is unrealistic to expect everyone will be ready on january 3. i do think we will see the setting in as people react to this final details that will come out the next months. erik: what if these transparency and the new issues either do not get sorted out -- the venue issues do not get sorted out or not though you would like to see them sorted out? from havingansition some reporting and public about transparency and price are two of the biggest potential benefits to investors and two of the biggest costs. outhey do not get sorted the way i think the market would expect them to, we expect it could take up 12 months to 18 months to see the changes implemented to fix them. we will see a lot more of that negative sentiment around the in regulation itself and people are required to pay for it. erik: so it will be that much quicker to embrace it if it is fixed? paul: yeah, and we have seen that in u.s., a lot of reports that highlight the widespread support in the markets for reforms. in the u.s., there was a big test remission in the market but they came together at roughly -- there was a transformation in the market. erik: you are referring to the treasury from earlier this month. how do you expect citadel to fair under the changes church or he proposes? paul: the expect they are -- well, because what was potentially discuss at one point with the introduction of uncertainty and moving backwards in terms of robustness and instability, and we see a powerful reform that outlines the desire to lock in gains with small but important changes to make the market stronger and safer. we are pleased to see, for example, an appetite to change rules that make clearing more accessible. that has been something people have been concerned about, providing clearing services, and that looks like it will get resolved. we are pleased and will continue to go on and invest in our business. erik: how important is regulatory change as a factor in deciding where to invest and how aggressively you do it? hall: i think having a certain path and the products we transact in is desirable. erik: for everybody. paul: if you look at our european business, we are confident the commercial by of the proposition we have is one of the top market makers and equity, we price treasuries differently, and it delivers a different experience to clients. what kind of reforms, like dodd-frank, do, is they make it easier to get it to the clients, so it is on a value versus over the phone and we have a better shot of showing how better our prices. it does not mean we need those changes. they act as a tailwind to our business. erik: i want to ask about uts, .he focus -- etf's the focus has mostly been on credit, but more people are beginning to talk about the impact they have on the treasury market. what do you see?
