an interview with the prime minister conducted by a emily maitlis.he newsnight presenter has done a number of attention—grabbing interviews recently, and last friday she was involved in another spiky encounter, this time with the leader of the house, andrea leadsom. it was a year to the day since the vote for britain to leave the european union, and the preparations for brexit were under discussion. you've got a negotiating position which is completely unclear. you're hearing that from the president of the eu parliament. well... you've got a political system which is unstable. many believe our economy is unfair. living standards are falling. what can you point to now and say, that's going well? european politicians are actually very keen that we keep a strong relationship going forward, and that is what we are going to do. and it is actually the elected politicians who are the important thing here. come on, ms leadsom. you haven't even got a deal with the dup on the table. they are laughing at us, and saying they can walk all over the one she puts up

they have a picture of my colleague emily maitlis, who apparently earns less tha n emily maitlis, whor, calling on male tv stars to publicly back the pay gap fight. we can't do it right now, we are on the news, so you are obliged to be entirely impartial but of course i am not surprised. she is absolutely right to suggest people need to be supporting her. it is of course terrific that her male colleagues have allowed her female colleagues 48 hours, 78 hours or so to have all the headlines, but now i think it is time for you to step up and join in and say, yes, it is lastly unfair that female colleagues are being paid less than we offer doing the same sorts of jobs paid less than we offer doing the same sorts ofjobs and it is also unfair that women are not going to get those best paid jobs because they are all taken up by perfectly delightful and equally competent men. i see the south american correspondent with davis, ifully backed calls for senior debuts to be pay the same as male counterparts. quite a thing building up, but the point building up i suppose is that the director—genera

the bbc‘s emily maitlis is in washington, and asked the new head of white house communications, anthonymucci. tell us first of all, what we should understand about the relationship with jeff sessions? i think this will resolve itself over the next week or so. and what i would say to colleagues and cabinet members is you must understand the personality of the president. he is a straight—shooter, he likes to express himself, and let people know how he feels. sometimes those are tough conversations. why isn't he talking to jeff sessions? why is he tweeting, letting rumours take over? he is a very tough person, and i mean that in a good way. he is trying to use the bully pulpit in the oval office, and his presidency, to execute an agenda on behalf of the people. do i think he will stay? it will be up to the president. would like to see sessions staying? i do not want to interrupt the outcome, between the attorney general and the president. i like with people. i worked with attorney generaljeff sessions of the campaign. what i would say to my colleagues, have a tough exos keleton, colleagues
