you know better than i that many british politicians, from borisjohnson and dominic raab, who's now the are viable alternative arrangements and they talk about the ways in which electronic technologies can be used away from the border to make sure that the flow of goods and people across the border is unhindered. and they say that there is clear evidence, including the views of people like former chief of the hmrc, her majesty's customs and revenue in the uk, that this can be done, but you don't want to hear that because you insist that a hard border is essentially what london's trying to impose on dublin. no, stephen, that's completely off point. what we've said, and if you look at the withdrawal agreement, alternative arrangements are allowed for. they would come in before any type of a backstop would kick in. however, what we've said, and we've looked through the draft reports, if you actually question the politicians and people you've mentioned, the second and third question, there is no answer, and they can't provide evidence of these technologies in operation. if you look at the r

but in february 2016 four months before the brexit referendum dominic raab said the idea the eu wouldrect trade barriers after brexit was "not remotely credible". and the minister in charge of no deal planning michael gove was even more emphatic. this quote is from two days before the referendum. "no one is seriously arguing that britain would be outside that free trade area, that tariff barriers would be erected. let's bring in our political reporterjessica parker. this turnaround were flip—flopped as it might be called on some of the language, how is it being received? i think we have seen over the past few years, opinions really hardened on both sides of the argument. suffer topics like this, they are discussed and those support brexit and think people are trying to refine the arguments of the referendum and others may be under a main side of things actually think it is important to look back at that time and have a sense of accountability. it does not change the fact that as thing the moment, we are not very far away from that october the 31st deadline and we have a new prime mini

>> foreign minister dominic raab said today, great britain would still like to see the nuclear deal witht president trump is right about this. the nuclear deal with iran was fundamentally flawed. that's why we withdrew from it more than a year ago. because it didn't stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon. nor did it address iran's campaign of aggression throughout the middle east. the area of agreement is much greater. as you are today, great britain is going to assist with a maritime security initiative to ensure that iran can't do again what they already have done to a british ship, which is taken hostage and keep its crew hostage pray that the welcome to veltman. i know secretary pompeo and president trump are appreciative of foreign minister robin per mr. johnson. i think we need more of our allies who depend on middle eastern oil more than we do. and stand against this running aggression. >> melissa: that was my next question. can these to go it alone how much more support is necessary, and who is most likely to come alone? >> the united states and the united kingdom combined have

meanwhile, foreign secretary dominic raab has been in canada today trying to boost ties with countries meet with representatives of the us administration later in the week. he told our correspondent aleem maqbool that he was hopeful president trump would cut a good trade deal with the uk after it leaves the european union. well, look. but we know is that we have a president and the us administration that is talked incredibly warmly about the uk and is very keen to do a free trade deal with the uk. obviously we need to hash out the details but that is a positive thing. an opportunity as well as deal with our european friends and our canadian friends and are have you been less looking at the past couple of years, the donald trump of various friends, he plays golf with the japanese prime minister in and says even then, he slapped tariffs onjapanese car—makers. is it naive to think that just because he's car—makers. is it naive to think thatjust because he's talking about these warm terms that you're going to get favourable deals out of the us right now? doesn't donald trump hold all the c

now, we heard first of all from the british foreign secretary, dominic raab, he came and we asked him suspend parliament and the question i put to him was is this simply about trying to avoid parliamentary scrutiny? well actually, we've had one of the longest parliamentary sittings in, i think it's almost 400 years. we've been talking about nothing but brexit, we're going to get a chance to scrutinise all aspects of brexit between now and the end of october. only about two or three days at the end of october. one second — no, not quite right. there's going to be time before the october council and after it, and i think it's only something... before the october council will be the queen's speech. can i answer your question. i think it's only something like four days less than we would otherwise have had. only about two or three days at the end of october. one second — no, not quite right. there's going to be time before the october council and after it, and i think it's only something... before the october council will be the queen's speech. but you say four days left, foreign secretar

foreign secretary dominic raab has gone to canada instead. precisely. that's significant.remember negotiations are always a theatre, and there is an art. there is theatre and a tango being played by both sides, i think, and the reason for that is that both sides have some time to spend on other things. for london, for example, perhaps that might be some political calculations on the part of the new prime minister in terms of what he wants to do in terms of a general election, solidifying his base and energising his party and support and thatis energising his party and support and that is not insignificant. the europeans in the meantime watching that. do they want to become a tool in borisjohnson's political play at home? maybe in borisjohnson's political play at home ? maybe not. in borisjohnson's political play at home? maybe not. maybe they are standing back to watch him play his own game at home. and we have just been talking about the chinese and us stand—off and how it has rocked markets around the world. the germans weighing in today to say to tone down the rhetoric.

the uk foreign secretary dominic raab, he came in, he said only four days are being lost.hose most at risk of the illness, including over—65s and pregnant women. the department of health says it is "working closely with vaccine suppliers to ensure they have robust contingencies in place." i can't sit here and say don't worry, no deal will be fine, no—one is going to come to any harm. what we can see is that we are likely to not have enough free vaccine, we are likely not to have the vaccination coverage that we've had in previous years, and that is likely to have an impact on the nhs. women who take hormone replacement therapy — or hrt — during the menopause are at increased risk of breast cancer for longer than previously thought, according to a report in the medicaljournal, the lancet. researchers at the university of oxford found that the risks last for a decade after treatment stops, rather than four years as previously thought. our health and science correspondent, james gallagher reports. louise rivers started having symptoms of menopause three years ago. she said sh

account because they don't have the support in parliament for this reckless course of course, it was dominic raabnow they are trying to make sure we are not sitting. when we go back we are due to go off on another break for three weeks after sitting for a few days. that is extraordinarily reckless situation to be in when the country is hurtling towards this. what can you do? i take an old-fashioned view about this that we are not going to be showing the details of the different ways in which this can happen but parliament has repeatedly voted against a no deal, there is not a majority for no deal. are you sure that the ways you have got something the government cannot block? this is a government that is as determined as you are to do the opposite of what you want. let's be clear, this government will stoop to nothing when it comes to pursuing their aims. they would use the same language about you. are you sure they cannot block you? with the greatest respect i'm not the one who has talked about forcing ideas down people's throats at gunpoint which is what the prime minister's chief advise that it

we did hear from the british foreign secretary dominic raab as he was arriving and we asked him aboutight. there's going to be time before the october council and after it, and i think it's only something... before the october council will be the queen‘s speech. can i answer your question? i think it's only something like four days less than we would otherwise have had. but also be able to present to the british public all the other things we want to do on policing, the nhs and education. that's really important. but you say four days left, foreign secretary. there‘s been no agreement yet about a recess even, so four days less is not correct to say that. that would be the number of days broadly that will be lost. so i think the idea that this is some kind of constitutional outrage is nonsense it‘s actually lawful. outrage is nonsense it's actually lawful. it's perfectly proper, there's precedent for it, but actually, fundamentally for the people watching this, they want to see we're leaving the eu, but also talking about all the other things they expect us to be addressing, that is wh
