it was useful for me to sit down with my counterpart david davis. ward to working closely with you, david, during this negotiation. today we agreed on dates. we agreed on organisation and we agreed our priorities for the negotiation. the first step will deal with the most pressing issues. we must leave the uncertainty caused by brexit. we wa nt to uncertainty caused by brexit. we want to make sure that the withdrawal of the uk happens in an orderly manner. then in the second step we will scope our future partnership. we also agreed on how we partnership. we also agreed on how we will structure our talks. our aim is to have one week of negotiations every month and use the time in between to work on problems and exchange them. they agreed the talks had started well, david davis and michel barnier, and one of the first priorities would be to talk about freedom of movement and benefits for the citizens who had profited from that. we have laid a solid foundation for future discussions which are ambitious but eminently achievable in this timetable. it is c

david davis has given ground. david davis said the row over summer has given ground.row over summer will be a round sequencing whether we will start talking about trade at the same time as we started talking about the subjects that the eu wants to talk about, our expert bill and what happens to eu citizens here and britons in europe. it wasn't a row at all. we in the uk have simply accepted the eu's terms on this but that means we have to sort out all those difficult issues about the terms of our excellent, the so—called divorce bill, whether eu citizens here and britons abroad have the same rights. we have to sort of all of that out before we start talking about the transitional period, if there is going to be won, and what it will look like. that is critical to business owners here and also on the content. —— continent. what can we expect from philip hammond? there will be a war of words. he will say what people want to hear and that we will be seeking some kind of regulatory equivalents after brexit. so this is important to the city of london, just to explain it to

remember, david davies wa nted proceed.vies wanted trade talks and the outset and he has predicted around over summer and he has predicted around over summer over that, because the eu says that it wants first exit issues dealt with then a future relationship to be talked about. after initial contact between the size, we forget the eu believe its preferred sequence will be followed. that is significant because it means that david davis will have to satisfy the eu on those issues you mentioned, citizens rights, how exactly they plan to calculate a final financial settlement before the eu will move on to discussing future relation. these are all tricky things, but on any one of them the talks could founder. let speak to henry hill conservative editor. as chancellor, you would think that philip hammond would have a pretty critical role in these talks. how much influence as he likely to have? a fair amount, because obviously any member of the cabinet is very difficult to sack, so cabinet is very difficult to sack, so where previ

david davis declared himself an optimist that the eu warns, it is fraught with risk.r disaster in west london last week has risen to 79. so far, five of them have been identified. they died in the course of the fire. the metropolitan police have warned that they may never be able to identify all those who died. the bbc has seen letters — which reveal that four government ministers received warnings — that fire regulations were not keeping people safe in high—rise blocks like grenfell tower. prosecutors in paris who say the man who drove into people today was on the terror watch list. nobody died. the french minister called it an attempted terrorist attack. the former bbc children's presenter brian cant — best known for play school and play away — has died at the age of 83. house with a door. he was one of the most popular figures on children's television throughout the 1960s and 70s — when he also voiced programmes such as camberwick green and trumpton. brian cant had been suffering from parkinson's disease for a number of years. that's a summary of the news, newsday

did david davis have anything to say on that? moment that he of the government, of ministers is to support the prime minister and not indulge in any kind of leadership attempt. he thinks if we went down the route of a leadership attempt at the moment, that would be bad for the brexit negotiations. what is also interesting is i suppose the a cce pta nce interesting is i suppose the acceptance from david davis that he was one of those who encourage the prime minister to go for that general election, which ended up in a result that the conservatives have not planned. he said he hadn't apologised to her for that but that certainly didn't think that the election campaign had worked. ended up election campaign had worked. ended up with the result that the conservatives had hoped would not be resold, but as a result... he hadn't accept it had given them a week in tandem that negotiation, but a different hand, perhaps putting a positive spin on a negative story. thank you very much for that. a cyber attack on the parliamentary computer s

i'm very pleased to meet david davis for this first joint press conference.t was also very useful. ladies and gentlemen, the first session was useful indeed. to start off on the right foot, and the clock is ticking. it was useful for me to sit down with my counterpart, david davis, i look forward to working closely with you, david, during this negotiation. today, we agreed on dates. we agreed on organisation and we agreed on priorities for the negotiation. the first step, we will deal with the most pressing news, we must lift the uncertainty posed by brexit. we must make sure that the withdrawal of the uk happens in an orderly manner. then we will continue our partnership. we will also agree on how we will structure our tools. our also agree on how we will structure ourtools. ouraim is also agree on how we will structure our tools. our aim is to have one week of negotiations every month and use the time in between to work on proposals and exchange them. the first step to negotiations, it will be broken down into three groups. citizens rights, the single finan

david davis tipped to be interim tory leader as the cabinet turns on theresa may. nobody would want to read.|j theresa may. interim, the war that nobody would want to read. i think you're the perfect person to keep the seat warm for me. i thought this was interesting, but then you look at it and it has lots of ifs and maybes. the thing is we know that the position of theresa may is weakened, and the hour after we started to see the exit polls everybody was talking about her future being limited. it's inevitable this will come up. david davies is popular. six months or year ago he was talking about returning to the backbenches. maybe thatis returning to the backbenches. maybe that is why boris likes the idea of him as an interim seat warmer. you said it! but whether this is to flush out david davies... the source of the story is interesting. it was tipped by allies of borisjohnson, who journalists would like to describe us on manoeuvres. but he has the line that. if anybody would wa nt to has the line that. if anybody would want to be interim leader, it is a poisone

the eu's negotiator, michel barnier, and the brexit secretary, david davis, said they had agreed on thebout the rights of uk citizens residing in the eu, and eu citizens living in britain. we can speak now to professor simon usherwood, who is a research fellow with the think—tank, uk in a changing europe. he joins us from guildford. thanks very much for being with us on bbc news. no great surprises at this stage. having seen what the two men have said, perhaps you can help us read between the lines of it. what do you get a sense of the most pressing concerns, and the area is really where potential conflict remains? i think the key message from today is that both sides are trying to make a good attempt at these negotiations now they have started. many fine words were being spokenin started. many fine words were being spoken in the press conference at the beginning and end of the day. but there are clearly still key areas of concern. the one that looks to be the most intractable is the question of the border between northern ireland and the republic. which has been moved to a slightly dif

david davis acknowledged, having left, we would need a one or two—year transitional arrangement, but mean britain walking away. what david davis has revealed is that his handling of this whole affair inspires about as much confidence as a drunken trapeze artist. about as much confidence the problem is that, of course, when he crashes to earth, he's going to bring the whole of the country with him. the details of labour's position remains unclear, but the party insists the economy must come first. what we have to have is a brexit that works for jobs and growth, and also for the protections which working people have. how that comes out of the negotiations remains to be seen. with rumours of potential leadership contenders whistling around westminster, theresa may is under pressure from all sides — from within her own party, inside her own cabinet, and from brussels too. it's clear there's now a new conciliatory, far less combative tone from those at the top of government. she's in charge of the negotiations for now, but many tories aren't sure if she'll see brexit through to the finish

david davis gave michel barnier a book about mountaineering and michel barnier gave david davis and micheldavid davis a special stick for going on long walks. i think this was a joke they we re walks. i think this was a joke they were both in on because as you can see, lots of people picked up on it and said, brexit negotiations get perfect gifts for an uphill struggle. you get the idea. christian fraser is live from brussels. a couple of months ago, david davis was saying, i want to talk about everything in one go. the details of us exiting and the future relationship we will have with the eu, all as one. the eu said no, that is not how it will work and today, they came together and the eu got its way. yes, and some people, particularly those on the remain side, would say he has folded on the first day. he says, it is set out in the wording of article 50. he will obviously push to talk about the future relationship in october going forward because they only have around 500 days to complete this negotiation. unless they get a vote from the europeans to carry on. some people saying that sho

david davis' mission in brussels, to unstitch a relationship 44 years old, with the uk heading for futureeaded to his talks. it is almost exactly a year since the referendum and david davis says that with these talks, he is going to end up with a deal like no other before it. the eu side are waiting to see what it is he wants. the conservative party does not yet have a united view on brexit but article 50 has been triggered, and negotiations have to begin between mr davis and his opposite number, michel barnier. the handshake went on...and on. a small test of strength perhaps before the real tests ahead. we will do all we can to ensure that we deliver a deal that works in the best interests of all citizens. to that end, we are starting this negotiation in a positive and constructive tone, determined to build a strong and special partnership between ourselves and our european allies and friends in the future. we must first tackle the uncertainties caused by brexit. first, for citizens, but also for the beneficiaries of the eu policies, and for the impact on borders, in particular ireland.

for the uk the brexit secretary, david davis, talked of forging a new and special partnership.is in brussels with the day's events. today was just day one of what will now be many rounds of eu — uk brexit negotiations, but it was a historic day for the uk where many do dream of new beginnings and for the eu as well, which up until now as a union has only grown in size, but today began those exit talks for one of its prized members. hanging onto that handshake as hard as he could, this was david davis's show of strength today, the first day of face—to—face brexit negotiations almost 12 months since the uk voted to leave the eu. negotiations almost 12 months since the uk voted to leave the eui negotiations almost 12 months since the uk voted to leave the eu. i am here in brussels today like michel barnier to begin the next phase of our work, to begin anew, deep and special partnership. determined to sound confident and upbeat everyone knew the secretary of state carried british political uncertainty in his back pocket and he knew that they knew. fast forward through this first da

on your hands and neither is nicola sturgeon for the next couple of years while theresa may and david davisort this out. you will put forward your ideas and potentially you would have thought you would have read lines. does that include potentially still being part of the customs union, access to the single market and so on? the single market is important, we have argued that for many months and published a serious paper about that for the whole uk in december. but i'm not going to be sitting on my hands, my welsh equivalent and i have written to david davis suggested how the process should go forward. nothing has happened in those two weeks. there was a mechanism for getting these four nations of the uk together in the same room to start talking. the uk government have not activated back mechanism. it is meant to meet every month and has not met since february. so we're clear steps that now can be taken and the first is to get the joint ministerial committee structure up and running again. get the discussion going and draw people into this and look at what is happening and say we have got

a lot of the papers are saying david davis gave ground.into that it is the strong leader he was trying to put forward. they wanted concurrent negotiations, talk about divorce but also about a new trade deal at the same time. they have not got that. they have conceded on day one. they will talk about divorce first. what makes business very anxious is, are we going to use all the oxygen — only 20 months to go — talking about that divorce? philip hammond the chancellor is talking about ensuring there is a transitional deal and from an economic point of view that is what this does is we'll be focusing in. the transition from the existing arrangement to the new one. you get different messages from different leaders. theresa may is extremely busy with other issues. what is your take on how this is emerging, the uk position? do you feel they are in the way it on a similar... do they have a clue, in other words? are they behind closed doors squabbling?” other words? are they behind closed doors squabbling? i wrote a piece for london paper last wee
