bound to eu rules, borisjohnson wants to go back to the eu, convince them to ditch the backstop andn a free trading agreement but the problem is the eu has already repeatedly said no to this would seemingly puts us all on course for a no—deal brexit. here there have been huge warnings for the potential of thousands of job losses especially in the republic of ireland if there was a no—deal brexit, potentially businesses north and south of the border perhaps becoming an viable overnight. boris johnson supporters would say that's all scaremongering, the irish border can be sorted out through technology and trading deals but until there are some firm a nswe i’s but until there are some firm answers there will be a lot of apprehension here for many businesses about the new boris johnson era head. emma, thank you. a no—deal brexit could trigger another scottish independence referendum. let's speak to lorna gordon in glasgow. how can the new prime minister avoid a break up of the uk? well, the power to have a referendum lies with westminster. but nicola sturgeon, the scottish first ministe

this is when a new eu emerges. european parliamentary elections talking about the problem of populism to this is where the risk crystallises because most decisions by the european council are made unilaterally so everyone needs to agree. and now we have three leaders who are our populists. 14 italy, once the pollen, one for hungry. they have leveraged going into these meetings. they want to replace the current president, commission president and council president with leaders more synthetic to their anti—immigration aims. so they are looking for people they can influence. as you say, it is an important time for the eu. it is negotiating the uk's exit but also european parliamentary elections displayed stark differences within the block. so in terms of who may come through as a new leader, who was ahead of the pack at the moment? i think it is a complete divide. we obviously have the socialist dutch and the commissioner who is the front runner but then it is what sort of trade—off can you get? you have a package of

we must leave the eu on october the sist.f the only way to the european union is without a deal, then i would do that. the man who led the government's brexit planning for the government speaks out for the first time. everyone should be worried about what happens in a no deal situation, it is a venture that is fraught with risk, there's no doubt about that. from sea to shore, some businesses fear it could force them under. we're very worried, because it could put us out of business. while others say it will bring new opportunities. i think no deal is preferable to a deal, there is an immediate benefit. i've travelled across the uk and beyond to ask, are we ready for a no—deal brexit? if a no—deal brexit happens, this is where the greatest impact could be felt. the roads are britain's arteries, and lorries, its lifeblood, carrying much of what we need, make and sell. i'm hitching a ride to europe. hi! i'mjane. matt, nice to meet you. matt is one of the hundreds of thousands of lorry drivers in the uk. so matt, what have you go

the president of the eu commission and the eu's chief negotiator both say they look forward to working with mrjohnson. president trump was one of the first to congratulate him — saying "he will be great". and in other news, a heatwave is spreading across the uk, with temperatures expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers conservative writer tim montgomerie and the chief executive of think tank demos polly mackenzie. good evening. by this time tomorrow borisjohnson will be our new prime minister, realising a decades—long ambition. he's won the race to become conservative party leader, beating his rivaljeremy hunt by a margin of almost two to one. in a short acceptance speech this afternoon mrjohnson declared that his mission was to take britain out of the eu by the 31st of october and re—unite the country. but the challenges are formidable — opposition from some of his party's most senior mps and little sign that the eu is about to change its negotiating position. here's our political edito

and here perhaps is the difference between the eu and the us, the eu and its member states have learned the hard way that no single country in today's world can shape the world around it on its own. it needs cooperation and we would argue this applies to the biggest countries. so we need to work together on these issues, that is the number one priority and we are committed to modernizing the wto going for branch reform where necessary. why are we so attached? it is the only framework we have to achieve this. it is not perfect. it is in need of reform but what is the alternative? tearing it up and starting afresh? do we have the luxury of time to build something totally new? i don't think so. we think we need to maintain the functioning of the government, review all its functions from negotiating function to the monitoring functions to district settlement. and we need to develop the rules to make a 21st century. we have already proposed the route to reform and we want to engage seriously with the us on this. we want to update the rulebook to deal with subsidies and technology transfer an

it's there to avoid stops and checks on the eu's irish border, keeping the uk within eu customs rulesu has never budged from saying, it must stay. and trade rules — borisjohnson‘s idea of keeping all tariffs, border charges, at zero, while a trade deal is thrashed out. he's argued the fallback rules of the world trade organisation may allow that, but they don't unless a deal is nearly ready, and it isn't. mrjohnson‘s threatened to hold on to the divorce payment of £39 billion, but that mightjust poison the atmosphere, end up in court, and the eu say they won't even talk until that debt is made good. so, we may be heading for a no—deal brexit, unless parliament stops that happening. the numbers in the commons add up to trouble for mrjohnson. a government majority ofjust two, and that includes ten dup allies. it could be only one, after a tricky by—election in brecon and radnorshire on august 1st. so, just two tory rebels could mean defeat for the government, and more conservatives than that oppose a no—deal brexit, even if mrjohnson ramps up no—deal preparations as promised. so, what n

became an important part of the eu became an important part of the eu became an important part of thebelieves we can avoid checks by doing a deal with the eu, ripping up by doing a deal with the eu, ripping up the so—called backstop which would have kept northern ireland shackled to eu rules. the question is, is there the political will to doa is, is there the political will to do a deal with the united kingdom that does not require the united kingdom to stay within the customs union and the single market? and i think that will be the fight that boris will have on his hands and i think he is up for it. boris johnson isa think he is up for it. boris johnson is a new driving force. but old dilemmas remain. what will boris johnson's appointment as prime minister and his new look cabinet mean for the brexit process? my colleague has been discussing today's event with media people. it was more of a purge than expect the. so it is surprised he got rid of arden brexiteers but that could be because penny stayed with three —— government regardless of any deal. he also sacked jeremy huntand it

before an eu summit? because we will still talk to the eu, it is entirely possible that if those talks are going well, they would summon an extra summit in septemberfor them they want to resolve this quickly as well. what i am saying is that it is very straightforward. the thing to go back to, your very first question, the main thing i would do differently to theresa may is i would not be proposing anything to brussels that we cannot get through parliament. my negotiating team would have the dup, the erg, the brexit purists in our party, scottish and welsh conservatives, because we must think about the union as well, we will put that deal together in august, discussing it with the irish government... if you're lucky. we will put that deal together and it will be a deal that can get through parliament because it will be a deal that works for those groups of people. in september we will then have proper formal discussions with the eu and i think we will know pretty quickly if there is a deal to be done. if

it's there to avoid stops and checks on the eu's irish border, keeping the uk within eu customs rules a brexit transition. mrjohnson wants it scrapped. not reformed, not time—limited, scrapped. the eu has never budged from saying it must stay. and trade rules, borisjohnson's idea of keeping all tariffs, border charges, at zero while a trade deal is thrashed out. he's argued the full—back rules of the world trade organisation may allow that but they don't unless a deal is nearly ready, and it isn't. mrjohnson's threatened to hold on to the divorce payment of 39 billion pounds but that might just poison the atmosphere, end up in court, and the eu say they won't even talk until that debt is made good. so, we may be heading for a no—deal brexit unless parliament stops that happening. the numbers in the commons add up to trouble for mrjohnson. a government majority ofjust two, and that includes ten dup allies. it could be only one after a tricky by—election in brecon and radnorshire on august the 1st. so, just two tory rebels could mean defeat for the government and more conservatives than

part of the eu became an important part of the eu became an important part of the peace process.s johnson believes we can avoid checks by doing a free trade deal with the eu, ripping up the so—called backstop which would have kept northern ireland shackled to eu rules. the question is, is there the political will now to do a deal with the united kingdom that does not require the united kingdom to stay within the customs union and singles market, and i think that will be the fight boris has on his hands. i think he is well up for it. boris johnson is a new driving force, but old dilemmas remain, and uncharted territory lies ahead for livelihoods across this island. emma vardy, bbc news, newry. to reiterate the point made by the new prime minister he said today he was determined that the uk would leave the eu by october 31, no ifs, no buts. in brussels, the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier has said the european union is ready and waiting to hear from the european union is ready and waiting to hearfrom new prime minister, and equally ready, he said, if mrjohnson decides to pursu

the eu agrees on who it wants to be its new chief executive. ursula von der leyen hahas one of the eu backing and cannot become the european commission first female president. she is a compromised candidate. she was not the leaders first choice. you will get the latest from brussels. also coming up, and italian judge releases the german skipper of a migrant rescue ship after she was arrested for docking on an island. italy's interior minister wanted tougher treatment. he says he will expel her from the country. it was the hottest june ever on record worldwide. parts of europe and asia swelter in 45 degrees celsius heat. 10 degrees higher than usual. eu scientists say global warming is amplified -- amplifying the problem. brent: i'm brent goff. welcome. it took three days of marathon talks, but eu leaders have finally reached an agreement on who should become their new chief. ursula von der leyen germany's current defense minister and a close ally of angela merkel has been nominated to become the eu commission president. if approved, she would m

be to take us out of the eu without a deal.to take us out of the eu without a dealm being willing if need be to take us out of the eu without a deal. it is vital at the same time that we prepare for the remote possibility that brussels refuses any further negotiations, and we are forced to come out without a deal, not because we wa nt come out without a deal, not because we want that outcome, of course not, but because it is only common sense to prepare, and to all of those who continue to prophesy is disaster, i say, do not underestimate this country. no question he intends to make dramatic changes. at this extraordinary moment in our history, and after three years of unfounded self—doubt, it is time to change the record. no one in the last few centuries has succeeded in besting against the clock and the nerve and ambition of this country. —— betting against. they will not succeed today. we, in this government, will work flat out, to give this country the leadership it deserves. and that work begins now. thank you very much. t

here's the eu commission on that.g whether he was for or against brexit, and now his position is clear. i think the position of the eu is also clear. the united kingdom reached an agreement with the european union, and the european union will stick to that agreement. the incoming new head of the european commission — ursula von der leyen — says mrjohnson is facing difficult times ahead. there are many different, difficult issues to tackle together. we have challenging times ahead of us and i think it is very important to build up a strong and a good working relation because we have the duty to deliver something, which is good for people in europe and the united kingdom. so i am looking forward to working with them. damien grammaticas is in brussels. but will matter is how he frames and approach. we know he has made lots of promises in the election campaign about the current deal being an acceptable, but in the eu concerned, that may have boxed himself into a sort of corner there. but the question is what is he ask for

and eu.ald trump and jean-clauaude juncker agreed to work towards a zero tariff trade deal, though they have made l little prprogrs negotottions. >> the markets are digesting this. thank you for your time. whirring ininvestors? -- worrying invevestors? >> anything from the u.s. when tariffs are mentioned, we get to -- we start to get worried. since the turn of the year, the global market picture has been dominated by tariffs and the foreign policy by the white house and donald trump's administration. to put pressure on different nations when it comes to trade, this is not something new. is a continunuation of what we have seen from donald trump when it comes to europe. this does not stem from what is happening with donald trump and is not necessarilyly directly fm him. it is a separate ruling. anything where we are getting donald trump getting invololvedn more tariffs or additional tariffs to the european union, that is going to cause nervousness within the market. we have to look at the fact

he wants to leave the eu at halloween but once it his way. way of the abolition of the backstop. he wa nts to of the abolition of the backstop. he wants to make that guarantee against a hard border in ireland disappear, precisely what the eu says it will never do. i hope they will rethink their current refusal to make any changes. get used to seeing this. these are the sceptics and doubters. pointing the finger already. the country is deeply worried that the new prime minister overestimates himself. the dynamic between this pair, the core of our politics now. our country does not need arm waving bluster, but competence, seriousness and after a decade of divisive policies for the few, to focus for once on the interests of the many. there will be plenty more jests. we are the party of the many and they are the party of the many and they are the party of the few. we will ta ke are the party of the few. we will take this country forward and they, mr speaker, will take it backwards. today tory mps delighted at boris johnson the bulldozer. here the

citizens in the eu.sed legislation, like spain, to protect british citizens, those measures are contingent on our passing legislation first to protect eu nationals here. that's not been done. there is absolutely no guarantee in law to protect eu nationals. we have had a new prime minister for less nationals. we have had a new prime ministerfor less than nationals. we have had a new prime minister for less than a week. have you had any assurances in that week from him that these rights will be guaranteed? i have personally spoken to boris. i have sent him text messages, and on thursday he said he would unequivocally guarantee absolutely the rights of eu nationals. sol absolutely the rights of eu nationals. so i am now looking forward to the legislation that will do that and on the vote leave pledge, as well as the pledge is the new prime minister has made. in the absence of legislation to protect eu nationals, then that guarantee is worthless. so it is absolutely imperative that the government propose leg

that is two things the eu has consistently said there is no chance.—deal brexit are increasing every day, thatis brexit are increasing every day, that is reflected in the fall in the value of sterling. the ft is saying that boris johnson‘s value of sterling. the ft is saying that borisjohnson‘s is see if he visits capitals dock macro. the g7. i understand why he would be relu cta nt i understand why he would be reluctant to do that. what is the point in going over to europe only to be humiliated? theresa may had experience of that. will there be red lines? you can lay the blame with theresa may for the way that was handled. what is boris johnson's line? their withdrawal agreement is dead. he has got a set of policies. he is talking tough and europe is talking tough back. i cannot see the point in going over there to try and have talks at this stage. unless there are dramatic things going on behind the scenes it sounds like there is a real stalemate. boris johnson i think would look weak if he was to go over there, be re—bath, could not secure the meet

so we will leave the eu on 0ctober the eu. 0h october the 31st, in your view. and then an election next year? oh i think so. i think boris johnson knows that he is going to have to crush out. reid went as scotland leave ? crush out. reid went as scotland leave? for goodness sake... before northern ireland. it is going to fall to pieces before britain crashes out of the eu. this is ridiculous. we don't have time to a nswer ridiculous. we don't have time to answer the question, we will have to leave it. thank you all so much for being here on the panel today. quite an interesting discussion was had and we will have another one, same place, same time, next week. goodbye. it could be brighter in the far south corner. the liveable bay area. increasingly into northern ireland. this is where rain will continue through the day. it could cause minor flooding. through the day. it could cause minorflooding. a greater through the day. it could cause minor flooding. a greater chance of a few heavy showers and thunderstorms breaking out in

than other eu members being a defector leader of the eu but also a major economy that has huge exports to the u.k.. they may be the worst off on the eu side. you find germany in april -- particular situation. angela merkel extended her congratulations saying we look forward to working with him. another set a hard brexit is a catastrophe and no deal would be a worse situation anything else would be better. germany is looking for real losses and a messy brexit. wax there is no way for anyone to get out once -- unscathed. what other issues will he have to tackle? >> he is a prime minister of a country so he has a lot of issues to deal with. iran will be a big thing. british lawmakers and policymakers are going to european countries looking for a european naval alliance to patrol the state of her moves. -- hormuz. they have said whatever naval alliance is put forward will not be an official eu or nato mission but it will involve european member states. >> it is interesting because months ago no one would have predicted that the first challenge for a prime minister would be iran instead of

get the best dealfrom the eu is brexiteers felt the way to get the best deal from the eu is to brexiteerseu is to make sure they believe you will walk away from their talks, and they have never really felt that theresa may did that, so where has it left us? it's a bit of a stand—off. there are no plans or dates in the diary at the moment for boris johnson no plans or dates in the diary at the moment for borisjohnson to go to brussels, and today downing street put it like this, the pm obviously want to meet eu leaders and negotiate but he doesn't want to sit down and be told the eu cannot possibly reopen the agreement. so the question is, is borisjohnson willing to leave without a deal in 94 days? nobody knows the answer, but it can't be ruled out, and that could be the kind of uncertainty they are hoping will really focus they are hoping will really focus the minds of the negotiators in brussels. the murder in april this year of the journalist lyra mckee, shot dead during rioting in northern ireland by the republican group the new ira, sent shock waves across the province. but no—one has

we know the eu redlines very well.ightfind know this evening is whether they might find somewhere, a meeting point in between, this autumn. thank you very much for that. those redlines, they will not be enough for borisjohnson. redlines, they will not be enough for boris johnson. let's redlines, they will not be enough for borisjohnson. let's talk more about his speech because it is full of interesting hints and details, there will clearly be an expansionist taxcutting budget in the autumn. even before he stepped into number10, the autumn. even before he stepped into number 10, there was a minute or so where it seemed like he had gotten the first lord of the treasury debit card out and was spending it on 20,000 police, that is about a billion. 20 hospital upgrades, the going rate is a couple hundred million. social care, we're talking billions. so yes but that reflects the political reality of the austerity fatigue. but it is not just fiscal policy. maybe he will have to tweak or abandon the fiscal rules in terms of us

that is the eu line throughout and the eu has stuck to that. what does boris johnson do now? does he come here seeking to rework the deal on the table, looking for some sort of constructive engagement. the eu might try to help him like they did with theresa may even though that failed, but if he comes saying he is prepared for no deal and have to strike down everything they had done, i think the eu will take in much deeper at that point. what about his winning personality in inverted commerce. so much has been made about him bringing a new tone. we re made about him bringing a new tone. were that actually make a difference? were that actually make a difference ? it were that actually make a difference? it is a good question, i think in this town they have different memories and a different view of borisjohnson. different memories and a different view of boris johnson. they have memories of him as a journalist who they believe was one of the first to start writing stories that were critical of the eu in the uk but not necessarily, they believe,

america, the eu and china. signatories to the paris agreement to reduce emissions, are doing something about it america, you need to listen to your own scientists. words echoed by the met office and they conducted a study last year i believe that found in the uk, you are 30 times more likely to experience it waves compared to 1970 because of the higher concentration of carbon gas. my of carbon gas. my worry is it is happening a lot quicker than we are being told and it's a lot worse. it is being mis— measured or either there's a bunch of people who have economic reasons to deny its existence. i saw one tweet that was interesting yesterday saying, is it the hottest day of the year so far or is it the coolest day of the next 100 years? certainly food for thought. let's turn up the heat on british politics, because the british prime minister, borisjohnson, politics, because the british prime minister, boris johnson, on politics, because the british prime minister, borisjohnson, on his first full day in the house o

in order for the eu to give rights to british nationals in the eu. as i say, he is given a welcome repetition of that absolute guarantee but the devil is in the detail. what i will now be doing is scrutinising how that guarantee comes forward. right now, we've got this thing called that this —— settle status scheme. people will say, i thought this has been settled before. a million eu citizens have applied for it so white he wants more than that? the scheme itself is a guarantee. it isn't enshrined in law. we are awaiting the second reading of the immigration bill in april and it didn't come. theresa may resigned. the settle status schemes has a number of problems with it. number one problem is it is at the whim of the home office, it isn't enshrined in law. as boris has said, those rights should be. secondly, it requires eu nationals to register for the rights. if you don't register by the deadline you can automatically lose all your rights. what i've been saying to the government now is we should have what is called a declaratory system. the state

the 3 million eu citizens are ourfamily, our friends, million eu citizens are ourfamily, ourfriends,ours, our carers. yet, for three years, they've been made to feel unwelcome in our country. they deserve better than warm words and more months of anxiety. they deserve certainty now. the prime minister has made assurances, so we'll keep back the bill of my lib dem colleague lord oates to guarantee in law the rights of eu citizens, or is he all talk and no trousers? well, can i thank the right honourable lady and congratulate her on her own election, and i join congratulate her on her own election, and ijoin her in insisting on the vital importance of guaranteeing the rights and protections of the 3.2 million who live and work among us for so long. of course we are insisting their rights are guaranteed in law, and i'm pleased to say that, and our settle m e nt i'm pleased to say that, and our settlement scheme, 1 million have already signed up to enshrine their rights. can i welcome my right honourable friend to his place as prime minister, and welcome also the optimistic tone he is us

and the side that is the best place, and service their eu market from there.en‘t they? yes, we understand the political commitments on both parts from the uk and the irish government to avoid a border on the islands of ireland at all costs, but there is still no real clear way forward how that can be achieved. on things like agri— foods, especially, the eu has very clear rules around regulatory checks, that is to do with consumer health and food safety. there is a risk as to how that is going to be managed in the event of no deal and a lot of businesses, are concerned. we understand political commitment, we understand it is ambition for that to be achieved but there is one of the reasons why a lot of business groups especially in northern ireland came out in support of the backstop was because one thing it did achieve was it set down very clear ways of how that border could be avoided. we will have to leave that they are. thank you very much. three months after the journalist lyra mckee was killed, no one has been charged with her murder, in londonderry where

i would prefer to leave the eu with a deal. i believe that it is possible even at this great stage and i will work flat out to make it happen. but certain things need to be clear. the withdrawal agreement negotiated by my predecessor has been three times rejected by this house. it's terms are unacceptable to this parliament and to this country. no country that values its independence and indeed, it self respect could agree to a treaty which signed away our economic independence and government [indiscernible] if an limit is not enough agreement is due to be reached, it must be clearly understood the way to the deal goes by way at the abolition of the backstop. tot: i want to get quickly that phrase, the backstop, what is he talking about? he is talking about the border between the republic of ireland and the united kingdom as a part of northern ireland. the backstop is really an insurance plan and it is written that thehe agreement u.k. and the eu negotiated under theresa may, and all it says is that both sides want a frictionle

the president of the eu commission and the eu's chief negotiator both say they look forward to workinghim. and president trump has congratulated mrjohnson — saying, "he will be great". one other news story — a heatwave is spreading across the uk, with temperatures expected to climb to well over 30 degrees celsius this week. it's five o'clock — our top story: borisjohnson has promised to energise the country, after winning victory in the tory leadership contest. he secured two—thirds of members‘ votes, comfortably defeating the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. mrjohnson will officially become prime minister tomorrow after a meeting with the queen at buckingham palace. in his victory speech, mrjohnson promised to unite the country — and deliver brexit by the deadline of 31st october. but he's already seen some ministerial resignations — and there could be more — as several cabinet members have already said they can't support his "do or die" pledge to leave the eu. iain watson has our first report. he walked in first but finished second, jeremy hunt was decisively defeated by borisjohnson. f

has there been r reaction frfroe eu? >> early reaction from michellee garnrnier. -- michelle barn yay -- michelle barnier. he specifies he works on facilitating the ratification of the withdrawal agreement and achieving an ordederly brexit. perhaps some wishful thinking there. he says we are ready to rework the political declaration, the acaccompanying document that cae with the withdrawal a agreementa slimmer document that is not legally binding and there has been talk of tweaking that from the eu side. he is essentially repeating what we have heard up to now from the eu side. euy want to work with the constructively. >> how firm is this deadline? >> as things stand, it is the deadline. of tough arguing going on. know there was a differing opinion among the eu heads of state about whether to give an extension at all. right now, nobody talking about wanting a new extension to the brexit process. we have heard from the incoming european commission president that she would be willing to consider the idea of an extension if

i hope that the eu will be equally ready. and that they will rethink their current refusal to make any changes to the withdrawal agreement. if they do not, we will, of course, have to leave the e.u. without an agreement and article the uk is better prepared for 50. that situation than many believe, but we are not as ready yet as we should be. in the 98 days that remain to us, we must turbo-charge our preparations to ensure that there is as little disruption as possible to our national life, and i believe that is possible with the kind of national effort that the british people have made before and will make again. in these circumstances, we would , of course, have available the £39 billion in the withdrawal agreement to help deal with any consequences. i have today instructed the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster to make these preparations his top priority. i have asked the cabinet secretary to mobilise the civil service to deliver this outcome, should it become necessary. the chancellor has confirmed that all necessary fu

the eu appears totally unmoved. johnson said the parliament and it was designed for eu leaders. in it, he said the talk of no deal was partly he believed a uk tactic to try to fracture the unity of the eu's 27 countries and went on to say mrjohnson's remarks that the only way to get the deal was by eliminating the backstop was unacceptable, and that has been repeated importantly by the irish prime minister, who said today that without a backstop there would be no deal, and without it too there would be no future trade agreement until the irish border is resolved. the eu does not want to be blamed for this. it believes it is a uk choice. brexit is a uk choice, the form of brexit is a uk choice, the form of brexit repeated by mrjohnson today is another choice, and a further choice insisted on by mrjohnson todayis choice insisted on by mrjohnson today is that there is no backstop. the eu doesn't want that plane landing on its shoulders so in the last hour and a half we have seen jean—claude juncker calling mr johnson a

would no deal, oi’ take us out of the eu would no deal, ora take us out of the eu would no deal, org third option which is he will posture with the eu, he might go to dublin, berlin, come back to parliament, say, they would not give in, we have to do no deal, and if parliament tries to stop him call a general election on the back of singh, i've tried, parliament is stopping me, give me a majority.” stopping me, give me a majoritylj got stopping me, give me a majority.” got a tweet last night from somebody who said, you have got to explain to people the sequencing because it was a row through the summer of 2017. when they first sat down to talk, the eu said what it was doing was in keeping with the usual, so long as the uk was a member state it could not negotiate a trade deal, you had to bea not negotiate a trade deal, you had to be a third party member. so the question is, is there scope to go back to the eu and negotiate both at the same time, but the withdrawal agreement and the future arrangement? that you have said they are willing to talk about what is called a political decla

and come out of the eu on october the 31st, no ifs or buts.new deal, a better deal that will maximise the opportunities of brexit while allowing us to develop a new and exciting partnership with the rest of europe based on free trade and mutual support. i have every confidence that in 99 days' time, we will have cracked it. the 31st of october. the deadline. someone who doesn't have confidence in that promise is opposition leaderjeremy corbyn. i don't see how we can. all he did was offer a lot of bluff about delivering it by the end of october and a whole lot of stuff about social issues in britain, of which there are serious problems. most he has been a part of the creation of those problems and then tax cuts to the very richest wasn't going solve any of the problems that the outline. we certainly do need something much more serious in our approach to europe as well as the problems of inequality in this country. borisjohnson says he is serious — and will take personal responsibility for delivering brexit. and though i am today building a grea

so this is the forest of the uru—eu—wau—wau.periencing on the ground. with all this farmland all around you, and you are about there, just in that little corner. with all these pressures, tensions are escalating. shots were fired at the sign marking the reserve. these farmers live just down the road and like the president, they want access to the forest. so, two very different views of the future of this land. the farmers with their fields, right beside the indigenous people in the forest. the fate of the children here is uncertain. they are learning traditional skills and they have rights under brazilian law, but they are outnumbered and powerful forces are circling outside. david shukman, bbc news, in the amazon. the bbc has defended the wages of its top presenters and senior staff, as it moves to end free tv licences for millions of over 75s. the annual report revealed the number of people earning over £150,000 a year has risen. for the first time, three women are in the top ten earners. here's our media editor, amol rajan. t

the eu but i have always had grave concerns about leaving the eu without a deal in place. boris johnson is brother looking down on those who choose to criticise him. there is no scope for self—indulgence and individual mps expressing their views. for the conservative party to deliver for our country we have to unite, come together. boris johnson's opponent admitted he was disappointed but called for unity and this was his diagnosis for his failure to win. this was always going to be uphill for us because i was someone going to be uphill for us because i was someone who voted remain. we have a prime minister who voted remain and a lot of conservative party members felt this was a moment when you had to have someone who voted for brexit in the referendum and that was, in retrospect, a hurdle we were never able to overcome. the future is uncertain for larry the downing street cat and for larry the downing street cat and for the country. the new prime minister has a wafer thin majority. borisjohnson minister has a wafer thin majority. boris johnson listen minister has a wafer

leaves the eu. is all these future negotiations happening and we are talking about back and forth retaliatory tariffs. alreadymplicating that somewhat strained and frayed relationship. president trump is saying that the new round of trade talks with china has already begun. is this a be said of the relationship between the two countries? i guess we don't know until we see how far they get. looks like a temporary truce, agreeing to talk some more after that meeting at the g20 in japan. president trump has said he will not impose further tariffs on $300 billion worth of goods while they talk. the as he walked away from those talks that were making some progress, he walked away may one and it had been no further talks. both sides look bigger to get back to it. the question is, how long, how much distance can they go before there is potentially another flareup and the tariffs are still on the table. we don't know what the chinese president has promised to try to get those talks to restart and if that pl

he talked about the eu council. was sorry come i don't think i heard him welcome the -- appointment of the top jobs. i think it's important this is the first woman nominated to be president of the european commission and the woman nominated for the role at the european central bank. and he talked about the issue around brexit. of course it was always going to take to use to negotiate. that's the time that a set out in the treaty under the article 50 process. we brought those proposals to the house. the right honorable gentleman rejected those proposals. the right honorable gentleman has not brought forward the proposal that can get a majority -- this shadow secretary says he has. [inaudible] [shouting] >> i have noticed the house has the support the plants i brought forward, so this is -- is a bit, it's a bit of a nerve the party that consistently says it wants to leave with a deal, that it consistently voted against leaving with a deal. and he talks about going back to the people on brexit. he talks about the sort

eu, they way they have treated the eu, it is nothing to do with the eu.it is nothing to do with the eu. i don't think they were conscious of that at all. this is to do with our special relationships with the united states, i dangerous special relationship, which they now have to grow very fast because there is no other option. i do think, although he does it in this colourful way, i do think he has a point, this ideal that you do this toa point, this ideal that you do this to a country which you kind of punish eight collectively punish it and it started because trump hated what barack and it started because trump hated what ba rack obama and it started because trump hated what barack obama did. he hated barack obama. so he did everything in his power... in relation to that nuclear deal? it started with a very personal thing. but the point remains that i am astonished, the men who rule iran are just as obnoxious as the ones we are dealing with in the west, and i was thinking, this is all about men. horrible, non—negotiating, arrogant, self—important men wh
