give david davis a round of applause. applause] >> i know, secretary davis, this is your first visit back to washington in a couple years. welcome back. it is an interesting time on both sides of the atlantic. we have a unique set of complex challenges which will not be the subject of today's discussion. i know you are coming off an interesting round of negotiations. we look forward to hearing from you. in today's crowd, i know there are a lot of business leaders. there are also diplomats from different entities in washington. i also want to recognize one diplomat in particular. from the u.k. embassy. he has done a great job representing his country here in washington. applause] >> now, it is an unusual occurrence. someone said on their way in, you know, it is the first time in 25 years on a friday before labor day. it very muchthat is a reflection on the importance of what is going on in europe and the importance of our guest. so we have a full house the day before labor day weekend. let me say a few things at the outset

davis: we have thought about it. one of the great arguments -- none of you would have followed it in the detail i have -- but one of the arguments taking place is how much transition will be have. how will we avoid a cliff? this transition period, people tend to think single things. it is different if you are in a bank than if you are reducing agri products or if you are working in a regime which is heavily regulated, maybe cars or whatever. or maybe you've got cross-border traffic going backwards and forwards. the first thing to say is that the nature of the implementation. then, or the transition period, is not as clear-cut as people say, or people think in the beginning. in terms of the idea of using -- the countries of norway and switzerland have different relationships through an arrangement. it has its own negotiating issue to get over. this is probably the most complicated negotiation in history, and our enemy, in a way, is time. we will conclude the negotiations in two years, and the reason for the transition

david davies said today this isa that.e exercised from the eu and money is the thing that frightens them the most. he says they are trying to use time against us they are trying to use time against us when it comes to the issue of agreeing how much we will have to pay to leave the eu. what we are saying, ok, you are giving us this normal bill, like when you leave a hotel and you go through it by line. they are saying, give usa through it by line. they are saying, give us a counter. make an offer. we are not doing that. we are going through it line by line and they are finding it difficult because we have got good lawyers. they complained about our two— hour got good lawyers. they complained about our two—hour presentation. we're basically going through it systematically, pragmatically. he wants to put pressure on us. bluntly, i think he looked a bit silly because the plane you were things we have achieved. i like him, i have known him for 20 years but the commission puts itself in a silly position saying nothing has been d

and david davis has a logical approach.improved in attitudes. the daily mail does not think so. do not treat us mail does not think so. do not treat us with contempt! this is a ludicrous overreaction, this was not a public statement, it was not trash talk, this was a briefing message to the commission. all he was doing was reporting back on the way that david davis has been behaving and all the information that we have had from people who work within the area and working with other ministers, is that he is not doing his homework and that people are anxious about the fact he is not concentrating on the fact he is not concentrating on the task ahead and it is accurate to say he does not seem to think that these negotiations demand his direct involvement. he has never stayed more than a couple of hours before returning to london, he is not in the negotiating room trying to push the negotiating room trying to push the talks forward, it is simply accurate, unfortunately for all of us. accurate, unfortunately for all of us. the t

we wait to see whether david davis echoes that, whether david davis echoes that, whether he acknowledgese was planning to say anyway. we will be back there as soon as that begins because that has potential to be quite interesting. it was due to begin about ten minutes go. obviously a slight delay. as soon as it gets under way will we will be back there. until that's each begins let's turn our attention to another main story. the private sector security company gas has suspended nine members of staff from an immigration removal centre near gatwick airport following an investigation by bbc‘s panorama. the programme says it has covert footage recorded at brook house showing officers "mocking, abusing and assaulting" people being held there. well, let's get a taste of the programme being shown on monday. on the front line of britain's fight to control immigration, a secretive world of drugs, violence and abuse. where some foreign nationals are locked up for as long as two years. panorama — undercover: britain's immigration secrets. monday at nine on bbc one. earlier my colleague annita mcvei

david davies, brexit negotiator for the uk, they period.orfor the uk, they came period. david davies, brexit negotiator for the uk, they came out of the room, michelle barnier said there had been no progress —— barnier. they were arguing about the slow speed of brexit. the leader of the free world react to add impatiently. i can't imagine it is that the forethought of his mind, not when there are the things going on with north korea. but apparently he wants to be able to do a deal with britain by 2020, when he will be going for re—election. you would think, there is the guy that struck the trade deal with britain, that is who we want in the white house. i am not sure. that is slightly troubling. he is pro- brexit, maybe it is about that. i am just guessing. it is all conjecture, none of us can see any rationality in it. interestingly, us business is supposedly positive about us doing a deal. i like the line where it says, the us election in 2020 which mr trump has no guarantee of winning, page four of the sunday express. talking about the b

david davis has persuaded, begged michel barnier to show flexibility and imagination and he will come back tomorrow and say, we are not being flexible and we don't have much imagination. we are playing hardball. this is what the guardian is saying. one suspects that a lot of people looking at these negotiations panning out, they might argue that the 27 through michel barnier are not saying anything that they had not telegraphed months ago? equally, it does not feel like the message going the other way is changing either. given the fact that all along david davis said we're going to give them the mother of all frights in terms of changing the timetable and basically, the essence of this, they are talking about going in with the paper to be delivered on northern ireland to say the commission will say you sort it out, it is your problem. whereas david davis has consistently said, we cannot make progress on northern ireland if you are so focused on only talking about the divorce bill and the withdrawal, we want to talk about our future relationship. initially, david davis accepted this ti

mr davis you get and he comes even looking here. at points at some moments he comes close to fake because he's too positive too happy this is a very happy feeling could be an incredible birthday party and we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get down to work and once more. with that let's do it thank you britain wants flexibility brussels wants commitments particularly regarding money both men are so far apart but who will take the first step their feet are interesting because as they are far from the brains you cannot control them and year you can see that davis has been really pointing towards man you. are a sign that at least on a personal level things could move forward so keep negotiating gentleman and watch your feet. and that report by our correspondent got lot as an hour joins me from dozens killed the fourth round of talks are over do they even recall remain as far apart as before a marriage if you put it in a nutshell constructive talks yes sufficient progress still weeks even months away that is what the chief negotiato

this is interesting because david davis has come straight off the back ofa davis has come straight offef negotiator michel barnier in which both sides have looked pretty far apart. disagreements over that divorce bill, michel barnier saying, no decisive progress has been made. david davis has said pretty defiantly, hitting back, saying, it is not true to say no progress has been made, actually, progress has been made, actually, progress has been made, actually, progress has been made in certain areas but really, the disagreements over the divorce bill seem to be overshadowing all of that. david davis said today this is a pressure exercise from the eu, money is the thing that frightens them the most. saying they are trying to use time against us when it comes to the issue of agreeing how much we will have to pay to leave the eu. what we are saying, 0k, you are giving us this normal bill, like when you leave a hotel and you go through it line by line. they are saying, give us a counter. make an offer. we are not doing that. we are going through it line by line and they are finding it dif

davis: the headline was "charming bastard." i was proud of it, because i have to be both charming and sometimes difficult. there will be tough times. the trick of this is to remember the end of it. when we want an outcome which is in everybody's interest, this is not a zero-sum game. the world know that outside thinks negotiation is all about the kids know -- much machismo. -- we are the biggest military power in europe. we are the biggest in terms of spending on national development. we are very important in counterterrorism. we are the biggest intelligence power in europe. we are a cyber superpower like you. there are lots of things. we want to stay friends. that is the first thing to guarantee. to your second question, i will not do the negotiation from the lectern, but what is going on is we have gotten to the point today where there has been some pressure in the last couple re over theessu question of if we pay a divorce bill, and if so, what it is. around.e stories flying i can't comment because we have not started that n

for the first time mr davis spoke first.elieve, thanks to the constructive and determined manner in which both sides have conducted these negotiations, we are making decisive steps forward. david and i, as well as our teams, worked well together. mr barnier said the two sides managed to find clarity on some points and it does seem the prime minister's speech in florence last week has helped unblock the talks. in particular, her candour about the cash the uk is willing to pay the eu. the uk will honour commitments we have made during the period of our membership. the uk has yet to spell out exactly what it thinks its commitments are, and the financial settlement is one of the key three issues on the table and it remains very contentious. the current eu budget period runs until the end of 2020, two years after we've left. the uk has said that other eu countries should not lose out, but mr barnier said the uk's spending promises stretch further into the future. translation: if you're only talking about two years, that's not the

what david davies and the uk negotiating team up davies and the uk negotiating team up to talk aboute press conference, there is no logical and coherent point between the discussion of the future relationship under discussion of past financial responsibilities. the entire debate about the secrets of these negotiations has been a problem from the start. the basic problem from the start. the basic problem remains. we need some clever choreography to get past that. all citizens rights, their rates of eu citizens in the uk, and uk citizens and the rest of the eu, how is that rich a mac i was in brussels at the beginning of the week, i spoke to three or four minutes from other eu countries, they all said this issue is the one we really care about because it involves our citizens. there was some incremental progress, social security payments, but there is an elephant in the room, the european court of justice, is an elephant in the room, the european court ofjustice, what will be the legal recourse that will guarantee any agreement on citizens rights after brexit? the uk side says it has m

not long ago david davis said this would be the i’ow david davis said this would be the row of the summerhe british government rightly associated this would be the structure of the talks. we accepted that injune, i can't see why we changed tune in august, will have to deal with the divorce bill, the rights of eu citizens in the uk and brits living on the continent. and the irish border. once we've made sufficient progress i don't think everything has to be tied down, you can move on to the most important issue, the trading arrangement with eu. the point the eu is making is there hasn't been any progress made on any of those three issues. not substantial enough anyway. david davis doesn't want to let the cat out of the bag in terms of what his negotiating policy is. europe is being tough, we knew they would be, we have to be tough back, don't we? like any negotiation in business, when you negotiate with bosses about your salary, there is posturing on both sides but sooner or later you have to come to an agreement and that will require condom eyes on both sides. there is an unwillingness fr

so, secretary davis, welcome to the u.s. chamber of commerce and welcome to a business community very supportive of the u.s./u.k. relationship. thank you. [ applause ]. >> byron, thank you for those generous and supportive comments, particularly the ones on the end, very generous to me, so generous i wish my parents were so alive. my father would have enjoyed it. my mother might have believed it. good morning to you all. it's a pleasure to be here. i'm a longstanding fan of the united states. you are i guess the only country to be successfully founded on an idea, the idea of freedom, rule of law and democracy working together. as such, it's a privilege to be here. now, the last time i was in the states -- not the last time i was in the states, the last time i gave a major speech in the states, it was in texas, a state now facing a devastating natural disaster of hurricane harvey. people in the united states and the united kingdom are one and the same. we stand side by side through tough times, through world wars, through ter

at the beginning of the first of this fourth round david davis the negotiator of the u.k. here made clear that as to reason may rule pointed out in your speech the u.k. is ready to honor its commitments but in accordance with and in context with a new future relationship and that makes clear the key to lemma here he does not acknowledge the division the structure of the talks first about divorce secondly once that is been cleared for instance the question of a huge breaks a bill the u.k. has to honor and then secondly the future relationship and that is the key to that is so far hampering the talks to move forward and in that respect to recent mais speech hasn't made any changes at all that got matis in brussels thank you very much for that we're turning out to our top story and the independence referendum in the kurdish area of iraq which has been strongly condemned by the iraqi government for the very latest i have on the line journalist campbell. he joins me now from being in the town in the sky this reason well. the iraqi good leader must goodbye's and he has a reputat

davis-bacon, over 100 years ago, republican congressman jim davis and robert bacon realized there was a problem with federal contracts. these contracts were unfair to local economies. they were not taking into account what has been going on historically in those areas. this very simply ensures that construction workers are paid the same like workers in their local community. i want to go back to the people who elected to me and say i want to lower your wages. i want to lower them to the point i'll make anything up because that's what we're hearing. this has been around and it continues to be involved and made to work because it works for those local communities. it's about insuring those local communities are not going to be run over by big federal contractors coming in but being paid exactly what the people in that community are being paid. it continues today because it works. it works in new york, it works in new jersey, it works in florida, oklahoma. it's about fairness. it's about leveling the playing field, something that apparently many people in this chamber forgot. we are here

it must be frustrating for david davis.not showing your cards, and people are asking for him to do exactly that. and it is 0ctober, to do exactly that. and it is october, the eu commission? yes, that's when the leaders come together and discuss what progress has been made so we can then discuss the trade—off. britain is hoping that the political leaders will be able to talk them round and get some flexibility. the eu can only act in the way the 27 members instruct them to do. i think britain will have to start paying some money. then things might move their way. but i am a pessimist. unlike david davis who is an optimist. chuckles let's turn to the times. there is the possibility of a reshuffle in the possibility of a reshuffle in the air, or maybe not? as a political journalist, the air, or maybe not? as a politicaljournalist, there were always three stories you could write, leadership challenge, reshuffle, when there will be a general election. we have the takeaway one of those two. you can always write a leadership chall

so what exactly is david davis's game? remember this? to the treasury. that will trigger a process which will lead to a by—election. the brexit secretary has always been something of a subversive figure who has made a career out of challenging authority, and that's exactly what he's doing now. david davis believes he is successfully undermining the central tenet of michel barnier‘s negotiating strategy, which is that the uk cannot discuss its future trading relationship with the eu until it has cleared up the terms of its departure. david has managed to drop back into the ring, play them at their own game, which is, "but you keep asking about ireland and the borders and the trade arrangements — we can't settle any of that until we settle the trade arrangements. "so we can't discuss anything — let's get to the trade arrangements and then we will know what we can do about the border in northern ireland." and that final bit in the last week has been the big expose to the nonsense of we can settle this come about all the other. it is becomin

david davis says they are all tied up, what is your reading of it? on the part of the uk in the negotiations. because the uk is tied to itself, to its traumatic decision. the eu, on the other hand, is tired, mr barnier is tight, because he has behind him 27 governments, and the european parliament. so it's natural that it ta kes parliament. so it's natural that it takes some time. prime minister made's speech in florence was helpful, and i think that it will have to be the case that, as mr barnier is saying, some things need to be settled before longer term search for a joint identity starts. it's difficult for viewers, i think, to understand where the compromise is going to happen if the uk is still saying, "we can't settle all these questions because they our intimately tied to the kind of relationship we want after brexit." so where is the leeway for compromise there, do you think was that not very much. stop it is important to understand what the two parties have in mind, particularly the uk, as to what it wa nts particularly the uk, as to what i

david davis' line is that it relationship. david davis' line is thatitis relationship.rting from a very close point of cooperation. it is just about working at the finer details of the bill. at the moment there is a bit of an impasse. david davis wants to move these talks on, as soon as so to this future relationship, but the eu is adamant we are not making enough progress as of yet in getting the divorce and withdrawal arrangements sorted out first. thank you very much. aid agencies are describing flooding across south asia as one of the worst regional crises in recent years. more than 1,200 people have died in india, bangladesh and nepal, and millions have been affected. many people are sleeping on roadsides and in makeshift shelters. angus crawford reports. once a main street. the only traffic now, makeshift canoes and boats. look at the pole he's using. it almost disappears under the waters. across bangladesh, almost a third of the country has been affected. heavy monsoon rains making this the worst flooding in decades. the whole region has been hit, with more than

i think david davis, things were still civil and diplomatic.liam fox's comments intends it to stay that way. next month we have a deadline the eu has set on there being sufficient progress made on these divorce talks, the withdrawal agreement. david davis hopes by then they will have judged the progress has been made so talks can go onto the next phase of negotiations on this future trade deal. i think david davis's approach is to try to keep things simple then. leila nathoo at westminster. this is bbc news at five — the headlines... cardinal cormac murphy—o'connor, the former archbishop of westminster, has died. gas suspends 9 members of staff, after complaints about conduct at an immigration removal centre at gatwick airport. britain's trade secretary warns that the uk won't be blackmailed into paying a high price to leave the eu. in sport, chris froome has a lead of 59 seconds after today's stage of the welter of espana. eight stages to go as chris froome goes for a double. scotland manager gordon strachan believes his side need ten points f

davis.eporter, tim shipman, about, say shenzhen whitehall about about, say shenzhen whitehall about a contentious bill associated with the divorce payment of £50 billion. it could be via a transitional arrangement. the line from downing street couldn't be more clear cut tonight, they say it is simply not true. downing street say they don't recognise it. whatever happens, the government will have to find a way of squaring a circle about how they sell whatever the divorce payment will be because whatever the figure is it won't be an easy figure to sell. buckle up, a busy week and a busy year. certainly. let's have a look at the weather now with nick miller. a weekend of two halves, if today was the sunny day of the two you can guess what's coming tomorrow. this is another look at some of the sunshine we've enjoyed today, the odd shower around parts of east anglia, you may have found yourself under a heavy downpour, most places stayed right. this is tomorrow with the system coming in from the a

both david davis and michel barnier described this talk is vital.rst phase of negotiations to be completed —— britain. that is looking unlikely but mr davies insisted there had been significant steps forward. when i look across the full range of issues to do with our withdrawal from eu, we have made significant progress on issues like mata — security for citizens and visitors, providing reassurance with regards to our mutual financial obligations, and agreeing to some keep its a pause in relation to issues arising from northern ireland and ireland. last week theresa may gave vital speech in florence about brexit. it was more conciliatory, it included an offer that britain would pay its dues to the european union during a two year transition period which would follow our official departure in 2019. and her words seem to have had an impact. departure in 2019. and her words seem to have had an impactlj departure in 2019. and her words seem to have had an impact. i think that it seem to have had an impact. i think thatitis seem to have had an impact. i

of the 19 did jefferson davis have any relationship with abraham lincoln? >> guest: davis did not have -- there has been a lot written about lincoln. right now i cannot recall if they had ever met. i doubt it. i doubt they had ever met. jefferson davis's vice president, alexander stevens of georgia who was not a fire eater either had a friendship with abraham lincoln when lincoln served as a congressman from 1846-1848 and they were friends and lincoln wrote a letter to him. alexander stevens wrote a letter to abraham lincoln while lincoln was waiting to come to washington after he was elected to be president, wondering if there was anything they could do, if he had any suggestions and lincoln wrote back to him, i would really like to be able to work this out, he said, but we don't seem able to agree on the extension of slavery. he said in his letter that is the rub. you want to extend slavery and make slavery national while we want to restrict it. >> host: is your book written for a general audience or scholarly audience? >> guest: we wrote this book for st

, david davis and his counterparts were conciliatory and for the first time, mr davies spoke first.cted these negotiations, we are making decisive steps forward. our teams worked well together. mr barnier said the two sides managed to find clarity on some points and it does seem that the prime minister's speech in florence last week as help unblock the talks. why? in part because she said the uk would honour the financial commitments it made as an eu member. it is one of the key three issues on the table and it remains very contentious. the current eu budget period runs until the end of 2020, two years after we have left. the uk has said the other eu countries should not lose out financially, but mr barnier said the uk's spending promises stretch further into the future. translation: if you are only talking about two years, that is not the end. the commitments entered into into the uk while they were a member of the union up to the time of their withdrawal, those will have to be honoured. protecting citizens' rights after brexit remains another disagreement. the two sides seem close

the brexit secretary david davis had this message.ugh the detail. we are laying out concrete proposals and there are no excuses for standing in the way of progress. it will take pragmatism on both sides to make headway and i hope we can achieve that this week. chris morris is in brussels. did may's speech make a difference? it changed the mood music. i spoke to several european ministers here in brussels and they set the tone of the speech in florence was welcome. but on substance, the problem remains. the eu says it needs more detail. michel barnier said we cannot discuss a transition period formally until we have resolved the financial settlement, eu citizens‘ rights and the irish border. the three things they have been trying to discuss throughout the summer. as you heard from david davies, we have put forward concrete proposals, they we re put forward concrete proposals, they were in the prime minister‘s speech and further delay would be unacceptable. they have been more pragmatic. they wouldn‘t use the word can section, but be mo

today, mr davis insisted that the uk would not be pressured into paying more than its fair share.e basically going through this very systematically in a very british way, a very pragmatic way, and of course he's finding it difficult and he wants to put pressure on us, which is why the stance this week in the press conference. bluntly, i think it looked silly, because there plainly were things that we have achieved. and yes, there were spiky exchanges between the two men at last week's news conference. mr barnier has since spent the weekend here at a conference on the banks of lake como in italy. he said he does not want to blackmail the uk, but added: there are extremely serious consequences of leaving the single market and it has not been explained to the british people. we intend to teach people what leaving the single market means. the future of europe is more important than brexit. far more important. meanwhile, the rows about leaving the eu return here this week. the planned new law that's needed to make it happen will be discussed in the commons. remember, the prime minister

do you think you would prefer david davis's or liam fox'sjob? think he must be experienced, but he has only been a cabinet ministerfor a experienced, but he has only been a cabinet minister for a year, experienced, but he has only been a cabinet ministerfor a year, and i think he will want to do it for several more yea rs think he will want to do it for several more years and show that he is very good at it. as harold macmillan said, you always caught between a cliche and an indiscretion as foreign secretary, no—one plays a blind bit of attention to cliche, but with an indiscretion you can turn the volume up too high. he ought to have several more years in thisjob to show ought to have several more years in this job to show how well he can do it, that he has actually learned he is no stranger to indiscretion, of course — i am just getting the impression that it is a job he does not enjoy. i think he would enjoy being surrounded by very high—grade officials, he is fascinated by foreign policy, but he doesn't want it. i can imagine that he would n

david davis.oreign secretary, borisjohnson, has brushed aside criticism of president trump's response to the north korea crisis. last week north korea fired a missile overjapan — and on sunday it said it had successfully tested a nuclear weapon that could be loaded on to a long—range missile. the secretive communist state said its sixth nuclear test was a "perfect success". pyongyang said it had tested a hydrogen bomb — a device many times more powerful than an atomic bomb. updating the commons on the situation, borisjohnson set out the gravity of the situation and called for calm diplomacy. the house must be under no illusion that this latest test marks another perilous advance in north korea's nuclear ambitions. in a country blighted by decades of communist economic failure where in the 19905 hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or reduced to eating grass and leaves to survive, the regime has squandered its resources on building an illegal armoury of nuclear bombs. he has will wish

and for the first time, mr davis spoke first.constructive manner in which both sides have conducted these negotiations, we are making decisive steps forward. david and i, as well as our teams, worked well together. mr barnier said the two sides managed to find clarity on some points and it does seem that the prime minister's speech in florence last week has helped unblock the talks. why? in part because she said the uk would honour the financial commitments it made as an eu member. it is one of the key three issues on the table and it remains very contentious. the current eu budget period runs until the end of 2020, two years after we have left. the uk has said the other eu countries should not lose out financially, but mr barnier said the uk's spending promises stretch further into the future. translation: if you are only talking about two years, that is not the end. the commitments entered into by the uk while they were a member of the union up to the time of their withdrawal, those will have to be honoured. protecting citizens

davis does not acknowledge that. thank you very much for listening to me. will say-guest: this toshiba -- i have police officers and my family. my father served this country as a vietnam veteran. that is not stopping him from being assaulted and robbed by police in new york city. that is what brought me to this , seeing that communities were being treated differently. we can honor police officers, and we can honor people who serve this country of all colors, and also point out the inequality that exists. they do not have to conflict with each other. they are in collaboration. someone who is black or latino or asian or indigenous calls the police for help, i want them to have the same experience as when a white person calls. so we can honor everybody who does service to this country, and i do, and this march does. what we want to see change is that those interactions with the state, with the police are the same across the board so there is no need for any american to feel like i am having a different experience than my neighbor because of my skin color. host

davis has been pointing out if brussen brussel probably not enough. what they're talking about is progress or sufficient progress when it comes to talking actually about the transitional deal and future trade deals between the eu and uk. now, theresa may has criticized the london mayor for the city's decision not to renew uber's operating license. the british prime minister described the ruling as disproportionate and argued it had put thousand of jobs at risk the company has apologized for past failings and is appealing against the ban. >>> uber announced the new ceo will travel to london next week to meet the london commissioner to discuss the license. >>> still coming up, barcelona's taxi drivers take to the streets to rally for independence. will their plans stall on sunday we'll have more on catalonia's controversial referendum after this short break no, i'm scheduling time to go to the bank to get a mortgage. ugh, you're using a vacation day to go to the bank? i know, right? just go to lendingtree dot com. get up to five loan offers to compare s

there was some surprise that she had left to it david davis. traditionally when it david davis.think ofjohn major, troenl, tony blair they fronted the negotiations. you add mrs may's fate and future is bound up with brexit. and so when you have her own future and how history bound up with this, thatis and how history bound up with this, that is a huge incentive to take a much more hands on role and maybe there is a sense that david davis's having a tough time. she has praised him, but the talks are stuck. maybe a clean pairof him, but the talks are stuck. maybe a clean pair of hands, a different face, a different language. there is a lot of pr about it. i remember being in brussels and saying britain's not come up with a calculation for the deal, but neither had the eu and mr barnier is good at this. we have to recognise, this is a negotiation and what we hear from theresa may today is not herfinal position. this hear from theresa may today is not her final position. this figure of £18 billion. my impression is that in westminster they expect to have to pay more. but they're not

so that is a reason that mr davis wants to argue to look into the future.ansition, he said he wa nted spoke about transition, he said he wanted to focus on the future and once michel barnier gets a mandate to talk about transition, which he has not, perhaps then they can do that. so there are steps being made in the right direction, now, perhaps at the summit of the 69eu leaders next month, that there can be talk on the transitional period. the hope is that the negotiations will be further tan they are? and the british spatial that we have shown flexibility and you could argue we have made concession but the language is that we have shown flexibility. they would like flexibility. they would like flexibility in response from the eeu's side but michel barnier has a fairly scripted mandate. it is delivered to him by the leaders of the other 27 countries, so it is difficult for him to step far beyond that. as long as this is the case and the eu is saying we are the ones leave, upsetting the apple cart, that the onus is on us to make the changes, that will be di

he said it it remains clear that one of the key stumbling blocks in the negotiations is that david davis his counterpart would like to mix together the talks about the current divorce so the commitments the u.k. has to honor and a future relationship and that is where mr brown years set for talking about a future relationship which only can be done if there is sufficient progress is still weeks even months away. yet not just in brussels thank you. that we now bring you some other stories making news around the world catalonian and spanish officials have held talks to discuss the policing of this sunday's unauthorized independence referendum the catalan recent government is determined to go ahead with the ballot while spanish state authorities are out to stop it pro independence politicians in catalonia have been threatened with arrest. people in puerto rico are pressing u.s. president donald trump to send more aid more quickly the u.s. territory has been paralyzed since hurricane maria hit a week ago nearly everyone on the island some three point four million people without electricity n

david davis would be an obvious one do that.hen it would be an expedient time for them to change. it is strange when you have the capping of labour party conference going on. at the tory said to be going on their brakes right now. the daily telegraph, speaking about: boris, single minded on brexit. this as allies of philip hammond suggesting that he does not understand the intricacies of leaving the eu. but surely must understand some of them. we do not know who is bidding for boris johnson philip hammond. who are these people? we do not know. but clearly, as i said, backstabbing is being done. i think the row is over when the process, the final process of brexit will be complete. we see this year of 2022, and the world cup is on in that year, so girls ages away. when it is going to happen? ibb truth of it is that there have beena ibb truth of it is that there have been a couple of big stories today. -- i think been a couple of big stories today. —— i think that the truth of it. —— so —— i think that the truth of it. —— so it fe

and he makes a beeline to jefferson davis's office. and he walks into jefferson davis' office. and sits down at his desk and puts his feet up. okay. that's the lincoln who ended the civil war. he entered as a conquering hero. right? he ended the war as the commander in chief. who was there to take possession of the city of richmond. and this is how he's memorialized. because really that's not a an idea of lincoln that would endear richmonders. even 150 years later. so this is an at the same time i would argue in richmond to recon texture alize. to soften the edges of the confederacy by creating not threatening images both of the union victory and civil war. and of african-american heros. holding books and a tennis racket. right. >> so we can talk about what you guys think should be done with our confederate heritage. here in athens. destroy, move. >> so what do you guys think? you have all thought about it. because you had to write a paper about it. so so what did you argue for in this confederate statue that we have here? that faces the arch? >> i think it should stay. it is a

today, mr davis insisted the uk would not be pressured into paying more than its fair share.ery british way, a very pragmatic way of doing it. and, of course, he's finding it difficult, and he wants to put pressure on us, which is why the stances this week in the press conference. bluntly, i think it looked a bit silly, because there plainly were things that we've achieved. and yes, there were spiky exchanges between the two men at thursday's news conference. mr barnier has since spent the weekend on the banks of lake como, in italy. he told a conference here he does not want to blackmail the uk, but added... meanwhile, the rows about leaving the eu return here this week. the planned new law that is needed to make it happen will be discussed in the commons, and remember, the prime minister's parliamentary predicament is precarious. she nurses a tiny majority. and that is why the debate on repealing this, the act that took us into the eu, matters so much. labour says it will vote against the law as planned, which will eventually be stored here, unless it is changed, including
