chief negotiatior, michel barnier, has travelled to london for talks with his british counterpart, david frost met face—to—face since mr barnier went into self—isolation after a member of his team caught coronavirus. the two sides are still at odds over fishing, fair competition — including state aid — and over how disputes will be settled. the snp has pledged to extend free school meals in scotland to provide breakfasts and lunches for all primary pupils. speaking at the party's conference, which is being held virtually, the deputy first minsterjohn swinney said if the party retained power after the holyrood elections, it would expand the scheme at a cost of around £230 million per year. also speaking on the first day of the conference, first minister nicola sturgeon called for a new independence referendum. scotla nd scotland is now a nation on the brink of making history. independence is in clear sight, and if we show unity of purpose, humility and hard work, i have never been so certain that we will deliver it. the ethiopian prime minister has claimed his forces have taken control of mekel

david frost was unhappy with the departure of lee cain and dominic cummings.s. firstly, nigel farage after dominic cummings left. he took to the social media to suggest this meant a brexit sell—out was coming, so i think it could make a little bit harder to make brexit feel the success if you weapon eyes that side of it. i also have heard of view tory mps raise the question of view tory mps raise the question of what the team currently in number ten be the ones borisjohnson would wa nt ten be the ones borisjohnson would want but by his side and i know you'll brexit. —— a no—deal brexit. you have the scenarios... i think it pla nts you have the scenarios... i think it plants the seeds of doubt. very briefly, who agreed to allow dominic cummings to leave? i think he agreed to it. it clearly at choice, i think we can say. let's go the mail. end of the road for petrol and diesel ca i’s of the road for petrol and diesel cars in nine years. this is for new cars, but it's not going to be that happy for people who have them after that. hybrid vehicles going five years

the uk and the eu have made progress for the trade deal according to the chief negotiator david frost who warn the sides may not reach an agreement before the year deadline meeting with liters this thursday both have previously stated a deal would need to be agreed to and signed by mid-november to ratify before the end of the transition period. we find ourselves in the middle of november now. bringing in managing director of the group from europe. a lot to unpack here does the departure of cummings mean the uk government now has more room to be in a bit more of a compromising move he was a key proponent pushing the hard line of the eu and the government not signing up to level playing field commitments. his departure does increase a little more flexibility questioning that impact. it is too early among the prime minister in his absence, those are a bit more constructive and pro deal are likely to gain more influence in the end game that is more important. >> how likely are we to get a breakthrough if not this week then by the end of the month giving the uk a little bit of a mile >> it

chief negotiatior, michel barnier, has travelled to london for talks with his british counterpart, david frosthave met face—to—face since mr barnier went into self—isolation after a member of his team caught coronavirus. the two sides are still at odds over fishing, fair competition, including state aid, and over how disputes will be settled. more than 60 people have been arrested after police and protesters clashed at an anti—lockdown demonstration in central london. demonstrators — many not wearing face masks — ignored requests to go home. protests are currently not permitted under lockdown rules in england. staying in the uk, and around 13,000 people employed by one of the high street‘s biggest retailers, arcadia, are waiting to hear if theirjobs are safe, with the company said to be on the brink of collapse. administrators could be appointed to the group, which owns brands such as topshop, dorothy perkins and burton, as early as monday. here's our business correspondent, katy austin. the festive season is approaching, but there's tough news this weekend for the 13,000 people working for ar

david frost who is running over negotiation is looking for 80%. go down to the wire. i‘ve always felt slightly hopeful actually that there will be a deal, because i do think that boris johnson will be a deal, because i do think that borisjohnson has got one eye on scottish independence and the fa ct on scottish independence and the fact that that‘s really camping up in terms of popularity, and forgive the pun, sell scottish fishermen down the river, because he knows is going to increase support for independence. he also knows his got a new us president who is very concerned about maintaining the good friday agreement and not having any watering down of that, so this whole internal market bill were there was talk about imposing restrictions and allowing goods to be moving and then having a hard border between northern ireland and ireland is not going to work at all. borisjohnson and the government have got others to focus on, and referred earlier this week from the chancellor about the spending review of all the challenges we face a lot of .3% redu

there were chatter that the david frost, the chief negotiator had already discussed someone living in. don't know if that was true, it was denied. but i do know he has understood to be dreamily angry about this. and i suppose in the wider context, it may or may not be relevant to brexit‘s because this is about, ina to brexit‘s because this is about, in a way, the power struggle and perhaps the waning influence of the vote leave tea m influence of the vote leave team that got borisjohnson to be leader of the tory party, that got him a thumping majority. and have been in charge of downing street. so through a rollercoaster and now they are not gone and ultimately this is about part of the situation is where people struggle to identify what it is that the prime minister actually wants. part of this story is about the fact that borisjohnson, of this story is about the fact that boris johnson, like of this story is about the fact that borisjohnson, like some previous prime ministers, finds it hard to make a decision. so people always say, it is like a court in there. people are second—gues

you also see that the chief negotiator david frost, who is an ally of dominic cummings, has chosen toain in place. that has perhaps given an idea that he sees a brexit deal oddly to happen in the next few weeks. i think we will just have to see how that one plays out. guy: his lord frost going to stick around? he says, thatwhat he will stick around. whether he will stick around for however long, we don't know, but for the next few weeks at least, i think we know he is staying put. alix: where does this leave the tory party, if at all, and terms of how united or not they are, in terms of an agenda going forward? emily: for some of the reaction today, i have been speaking to some ministers and senior mps. they are quite pleased with dominic cummings going because he is a very divisive figure. he led the vote leave campaign brilliantly. nobody really expected that to be the result of the brexit referendum. that was clearly down to him in his campaigning. but he has always said he doesn't like the establishment, the silver service, and ultimately, he doesn't like parliament, and he's made

michel barnier tweeted earlier that with david frost, they decided to suspend negotiations. the team will continue their work in full respective guidelines, as some on the team have tested positive for coronavirus. where are we with the talks? nikos: it is the latest in a series of unfortunate events that have halted these talks from the beginning. the timing is especially sensitive because the two sides were hoping to reach an agreement by early next week to allow enough time for ratification of a potential trade deal by the end of the year's. is this going to be a catalyst, the fact that the two chief negotiators have withdrawn from the process? probably not because negotiators are at the lower level that continue their work, but it adds another layer of complexity in the process. alix: thank you very much for that report. we are also watching turkey, raising its benchmark interest rate by the most in over two years. the move now sparking a rally in the lira. joining us is bloomberg's turkish market reporter. this was the most important decision of monetary policy into yea

having worked with david frost in the past, you take his tweets seriously.at he probably there if have stayed he thought he had to make a last-minute, dramatic turnaround. u.k.ess is that the position is unlikely to change. the concern is that these political developments proved to be a distraction detracting from these political negotiations this week especially if they heels to digopean and more deeply. onngs are likely to drag longer. anna: this could go to the wire. what? about how the bank of england response --what about how the bank of england responds? what are you penciling in? bank ofu see the england going in that direction if there is no deal on brexit? could that be the dealbreaker? shamik: it is possible. significantse some economic disruption. in the short run, it could be the catalyst for the bank to do something. my sense is that a are -- my sense is that there is a lot of lively debate going on. clearly, i think it still remains a last resort for the bank of england. they will look to more traditional methods with a little bit of room to cu

the eu, i am quite sure, interestingly, david frost, the eu chief negotiator, he tweeted, use that phrasef course is said to have come up with that phrase? dominic cummings. the man may have gone from downing street, certainly has terminology, language, remains and we will have to see whether the uk keeps this very tough position, there is some speculation within the cabinet there are key ministers who wa nt to cabinet there are key ministers who want to see this deal achieved. both sides have said they do want a deal and what we need to stress is there will be big changes to the way business is done irrespective of an agreement being reached but time is ticking, i know we have heard that time and again. it's only seven weeks until the end of the year, it's not just weeks until the end of the year, it's notjust agreeing a deal, they have got to get it into legal terms, translated into 23 different languages from the eu side, it needs to be ratified in the british parliament, it also needs to be ratified by the european parliament and if unexpectedly, extra stuff comes into it, you've also

but he warned his opposite number lord david frost that he is postponing the weekend trip unless theing europe thinktank and joins me now. of the programme. good to see you. what is more beneficial? deal or no deal? —— friend of the programme. it's not for me to say but the calculation for me is this, if he gets a deal, guy who has pulled a deal out of the hat for the second time, doing at this time last year with all agreement, and heading off criticism from the labour party about his competency because he can say he delivered what he said he would. on the other hand, because a deal will lead to disruption at borders and have economic impact, the flip side is, if you go for a new deal, you can blame your will be the responsibility therefore that all this responsibility has occurred, so these are the kind of calculations i imagine being in downing street at the moment at which way they will go as anybody was ‘s guess. which way they will go as anybody was 's guess. as they consider those, what would be on the other side of no deal was my goal sorry, i don't understand. if they decide

it also points to the fundamental fact about brexit, it is not what happens in the room between david frost a number 10 downing street, political leaders on both sides are willing to make the compromises that are necessary to get that deal. we all know what a deal is going to look like. the only issue at the moment is a degree of doubt as to whether the two sides are willing to take that final step to get it signed. just remind our viewers, there are essentially three big points to be worked out. remind our viewers what they are. one is fish. they initially said they wa nted fish. they initially said they wanted the same access as before, the british cup and said no. we are estimating how much the eu will get and how long adr will last. —— a deal. the eu are very keen to tie the uk into not dropping its standards below their level, because they are worried if we did, we could sell into their market with an unfair advantage. we have to come up with a mechanism for ensuring standards are equivalent or roughly. finally, subsidies. the eu don't wa nt finally, subsidies. the eu don't want the br

barnier is expected to travel to london later for more discussions with his british counterpart, david frosthe key sticking points are that remain?” we are at, what the key sticking points are that remain? i think you‘ve said it, we really are in the final straight. i think it‘s a sort of five weeks today until the end of the transition period. we are getting to the point where we are going to be seeing very shortly whether or not it is possible to agree a deal with the eu, and this isa agree a deal with the eu, and this is a deal on the future trading relationship, but also the security relationship, but also the security relationship between the uk and the eu. as you said, we are going to the point now where there are still some key sticking points, and that‘s where we are waiting to see whether compromise is possible. there are three key ones. the first is on a level playing field, and these are the rules that govern, for example, environmental standards, workers‘ rights, subsidy regimes, and it is about making sure the uk can undercut the eu on its own doorstep. the eu is concerned about

the uk's negotiator on brexit david frost has been tweeting saying he is looking forward to welcoming waters. the factors we now have been disputed and still being discussed. a number of commentators have said that next week, we keep hearing about deadlines, but next week is crucial simply because of the time taken to get through an agreement and the end of the year is fast approaching. more of this if we can in the current hour. it's been quite a murky start to the day. we've had some fairly dense fog patches around across parts of east anglia, southern england, the south and west midlands, and into eastern areas of wales. but visibility has been picking up since. tending to brighten up. that said, we will probably keep some low cloud and perhaps a little bit of mist across the west midlands and parts of east wales. southern coastal counties seeing some thick cloud on a few patches of rain here. a weak weather front will bring a few patches of light rain into the north—west of northern ireland and north—western areas of scotland. where it stays rather cloudy and misty, temperatures m

david frost should spending every waking hour ensuring that we get a deal with the european rather thanants a deal to be done? —— he did not want brexit happen. one thing that has united the labour movement ever since the referendum in 2016 is the very worst thing for our country would be to leave that thatis our country would be to leave that that is why we are urging the government to strip everything you. they you. they said they had an oven ready deal at the elections at 11 months ago and at some wonder if they even remembered to turn the oven on, but even at this late hour, it is not too late to get a deal. the government promised they had one, that it would meet free trade, protect our security and national interests. they must deliver that and deliver it soon, to prepare for whatever our new relationship will be on the 1st of january next year. the sticking points reportedly have been on fishing, access and state aid rules. how big a difference will they make to ordinary businesses, to people's lives, if those areas are not resolved? the differences between the united kingdom and

david cornock, bye for now. hello there. it's pretty cold out there at the moment across more southern parts of the uk. wednesday started with some frostgenerally dry and sunny autumn day. but, for scotland and northern ireland, we saw more cloud moving in during the afternoon and the evening. you can see that clearly on the satellite picture from earlier on. that cloud moving very slowly southwards. we actually have weakening weather front bringing some damp and drizzly weather and lowering the cloud onto the hills. but we've got high pressure across the south, this is where we've got the clearer skies and we've got those lower temperatures as well. milder in the north, but colder in the south. maybe some frost around for mid wales, midlands and southwards. notjust some frost, some mist and fog too. that's going to be dense in places in the morning. gradually through the morning that will tend to lift and break. may take a while in the home counties, mind you. then we get sunshine coming through. but, for north wales, northern england it looks quite cloudy, damp and misty over the hills. further north, we've got more of a breeze from
