yeah, and the eu sort of, she went to the eu and said "we agreed this deal, and it was argued over "andjust give me something else to persuade "people to vote for in parliament?" and really, i mean, they went to the motions but frankly, it wasn't very much, it was not enough. and then there was another couple of meaningful votes and they were not as disastrous as the first one, but still pretty bad for her and the most really disastrous was the european parliament elections, which we had to have because we had stayed in the eu beyond the original exit date of march, one of the conditions were that we had to be a part of the elections and it ended super badly. and the brexit party did extremely well and lots of people saw that as the straw that broke the camels back for theresa may not long after that, with the lovely sound effect of adam, she was toast and she was done in the conservative prime minister who had tried to keep her party together, very much tried to keep her party together and tried to keep the country together in an extraordinary period after the referendum, her time was

of other trade deals done by the eu in the past.have generally taken years. the question is, how far does the uk wish to divert from eu rules? if it doesn't divert much that makes it easier but the more the uk wants to divert, the greater the uk wants to divert, the greater the difficulty of getting consent within the eu for that deal and the greater the risk, even at this point, that a no—deal happens by accident. chris southworth is secretary general of the international chamber of commerce here in the uk. it's the world's largest business organisation representing some 45 million companies globally. good morning. good to see you. do you feel now, do businesses feel now, that there is a sense of certainty? because that is what they have been begging for the past three yea rs have been begging for the past three years to move on. do they have that now? there is definitely a certainty, we know that starts on the 31st of january, we also know that free trade agreement is the ultimate objective, if not then it is wto rules by the end

the uk and eu will be negotiated.t next year to reach an agreement and if they don't, the uk could find itself out of the eu without any kind of trade deal in place. and john joins me from westminster. getting brexit done, it will not be a quick process, will it? no. get brexit done turned out to be a useful political slogan and helped borisjohnson win. nothing in politics is simple, least of all brexit. today in the house of commons, an historic milestone was passed, but we are some way away from the final destination. the idea of ruling out any extension to the brexit transition period may or may not mean we leave the eu with a trade deal. some in government believe we could be heading for a phased trade deal, slashed out over weeks and months, may be many years into the future. meanwhile, at home, no one has spoken about boris johnson, maybe he has been too busy dealing with challenges, but his stated mission now is to end austerity and reunite the country, rich and poor, north and south. that isa rich and poor, no

between the uk and eu will be negotiated.o reach an agreement and if they don't — the uk could find itself out of the eu, without any kind of trade deal in place. rachel maclean, who held the redditch seat for the conservatives, increased her majority by 8,000. she voted with the government, shejoins me now. thank you for speaking with us. first off, your reaction to that bill being passed. it was a huge sense of relief. it is hard to sum up sense of relief. it is hard to sum up how miserable it has been being a member of parliament in the past two yea rs member of parliament in the past two years maria have all come into parliament to try and do our best for constituents but it has just been gridlocked. the same lobby today, we have won the vote will stop amazing. this is the first hurdle. it will be debated at the beginning of january, do hurdle. it will be debated at the beginning ofjanuary, do you think we will reach that deadline of the 3ist we will reach that deadline of the 31st of january? we will reach that deadline

between 20 and 2596 interact with the eu. revenues comes from work they do within the eu. there will be a lot of detail to get through. whether we can get through that in the next 11 months is highly questionable. a lot of work for them and all the officials at the bank to get through. simon jack, thank you. they are still keeping us waiting at the treasury. we were told it would be quarter too. they should be on time! it's the least you would expect. but i am delighted to say we can bring that topic into the studio. we have the ceo of sentry tech. thank you for being with us. thanks for having me. we don't have to go behind the headlines today because this is the headlines today because this is the headline at the moment, a changing of the guard at the bank of england. the former watchdog head, the top man and highly qualified for the position. we heard about his credentials. and we do have and live comment from sajid javid. the next governor of the bank of england. let me first start by thanking the current governor, mark c

eu to get its mandate togetherfor the eu extraordinary time for the eu to get its mandate together foru and the uk to agree the parameters to go into the depth of negotiations and to have something by first ofjuly, when we have to decide if the transition period needs to be extended. so it is an unprecedented and extraordinary time period to do such a huge range of issues. what do you think has been prepared in advance? because of course, we have been talking and discussing the prospect of leaving the european union for three years. have trade negotiators on the part of the uk and europe been working behind the scenes? you would hope they have. absolutely, and there's also a political declaration between the eu and the uk that looks like the basis ofa and the uk that looks like the basis of a very significant form of agreement. so assumes there are immense preparations which have taken place. immense preparations which have ta ken place. but immense preparations which have taken place. but still the devil is in the detail, over agreement on a range of issues, and it is not an easy task

that is the line the eu will push. this is something that takes time and again, the more you move away from standards, the more difficult it is to get a deal that is satisfactory for both. shery: our thanks to maria tadeo, joining us from brussels. thank you. now to the markets, let's bring in john buckingham, chief investment officer, a division of investment groups. he is also editor of the prudent speculator, a newsletter focused on value stocks. he joins us from irvine, california. great to have you with us. we have seen this risk rally around the world on news that we are close to the u.s.-china trade deal. how much will a potential hard brexit risk again dampen the mood? john: there is always things to worry about. the market historically has climbed a wall of worry. if we remember, brexit was voted on in june of 2016. we are talking three and a half years or so ago. a lot of investors were very nervous at that time thinking brexit would spell the end of the economic boom. obviously, stocks are significantly high

why do i want to stay in the eu, it is not because of some love of eu institutions or the parliamentary is because of the kind of country i wa nt because of the kind of country i want us to be, i want us to be open and inclusive and working with others and standing up for the values of equality and human rights and our membership of the eu not only guarantees much of that and is a fundamental underpinning, we have seen a fundamental underpinning, we have seen the conservatives they want to water down human rights legislation, and the fundamental values of equality, you can't just and the fundamental values of equality, you can'tjust say, but you can just turn a blind equality, you can'tjust say, but you canjust turn a blind eye equality, you can'tjust say, but you can just turn a blind eye to jeremy corbyn‘s record on anti—semitism. jeremy corbyn‘s record on anti-semitism. the problem for voters, you're saying vote for us to be part of a coalition, that is what you're saying, you're acknowledging... no i don't think coalition is the only outcome. well, vote for us to be some kind of arr

and eu member, ireland.he proposed backstop arrangement was removed in favor of a solution whereby northern ireland will maintain free movement of goods across the border. avoiding a hard border with customs post was seen as essential for protecting peace in northern ireland under the good friday agreement. the future trading relationship between the u.k. and eu means to be hammered out. after britain leaves the bloc on january 31, 2020, it will adhere to eu roles during a transition period until the end of the year. that means the risk of a new -- no deal hard brexit remains. if britain and the eu cannot agree a new trade deal by the end of 2020. eu diplomats worn that is a process that usually takes several years. helena: barbara is still with us. the debate over the u.k. and the eu has cost conservative prime minister's their jobs. is everyone on the same page now? barbara: everyone in the conservative party is, and that is because all of the other tories, the ones who wanted to stay close to the european

during which time, we will still abide by eu rules. we will pay the eu a divorce bill of around £33 billion, and it sets out a plan for dealing with the northern irish border with what amounts to a customs border down the i receive. our deputy political editor, john pienaar, has more. we're leaving. we're through the looking glass. everything looks the same, but nothing will be the same again. the last lonely protester was there, fighting a cause that, today, became officially lost. the eyes to the right — 358. the noes to the left — 234. cheering. a thumping victory for borisjohnson‘s eu divorce deal. but from the start, today, his big win was guaranteed. he came with an appeal for unity on his terms, to seek reconciliation in tones of triumph. this is a time when we move on and discard the old labels of leave and remain. in fact, the very words seem tired to me, and so now is the moment to come together and write a new and exciting chapter in our national story, to forge a new partnership with our european friends, to stand tall in t

and the eu is i'iow particular outcome. and the eu is now ina particular outcome.t is virtually only the eu that takes the root of harmonisation. and there are those in the forthcoming negotiations who will say that for access to the single market, britain must accept dynamic alignment. in other words, we must automatically change our rules in line with the eu. cani change our rules in line with the eu. can i say to the prime minister, he will have 100% support from the conservative party by ruling out any concept dynamic alignment which would lead leave britain in a worse place in terms of taking back control than we actually have a memberof the control than we actually have a member of the european union. mr speaker, this debate that we are embarking upon is a clear choice. there was never at any point in the european debate the option of maintaining the status quo. because we either had to embark on our own course, controlling our own borders, oui’ course, controlling our own borders, our own course, controlling our own borders, our own future, we would tie to a

it is with the eu.nfettered immigration and a lot of the fears in the brexit campaign we re of the fears in the brexit campaign were about people coming from countries where we do not have freedom of movement like turkey. i have had one nation tories saying that boris is really liberal on immigration but in the last week of the election, he said inflammatory and hurtful things like saying immigrants cannot come into this country and treat it like their own. either seeds of his defeat sown in his victory? i do not think so. he is talking about an amnesty. why did he say that in the last week of the campaign? he wanted to emphasise the fa ct campaign? he wanted to emphasise the fact he wanted to control eu migration. those words were much taking... they were putting a flag in the ground in the more nigel farage territory rather than the borisjohnson of old, let's have an amnesty. let's see what happens but he will govern along those lines. so did he say one thing to get elected and then do something else.

that is problematic for the eu.mes we hear from officials, and this is crucial because this is a line i keep hearing, is that they do not want to be undercut by a u.k. that is not playing by those rules. they worry about the u.k. becoming a competitor to the eu going forward. they are crystal clear they want a good relationship, a close relationship, but also need to be aware that in the future, this is a country that is going to compete with the e.u. when it comes to trade in future trade deals. as i mentioned, for many europeans this is just an easy bid to get the agreement to leave the eu. what is tricky and much more crucial going forward for the eu long-term plan eu 27 is a trade deal. taddeo in brussels, thank you. sterling strength since the exit poll came out, a much bigger than anticipated majority for the conservative party translating into a significant jump for the pound. the conservative party chairman joining us now on the phone. give us your reaction to the result you see. are you certain this exit po

to stay in the eu and i would be accepted.f us hovering by the door, we arejust idea of all of us hovering by the door, we are just and idea of all of us hovering by the door, we arejust and remains idea of all of us hovering by the door, we are just and remains favour and that is something that the eu really does not relish. it is assuming that a brexit is going to happen and if there is a majority conservative government, they would just push to get this deal ratified the does not mean that is being interpreted in this way, because they just wants to interpreted in this way, because theyjust wants to be able to move on with the rest of its life. it is interesting that because perception and quite a lot of politician is that the eu wishes that they could jump that the eu wishes that they could jump at the opportunity for another referendum and when you hear, tony blair for example actually suggesting that there should be a hung parliament so you get another referendum, it is fascinating to hear that the other side of the chan

in the relationship between the eu and the us.alpolitik problems, the business problem that you are trying to protect personal data and business needs to operate. there is a bunch of problems, a bunch of data going between america europe and everywhere else in the world. even if the advocate general advises this is unlawful and let's say the ec] agrees, which they usually do. most of the time they follow the advice of the time they follow the advice of the time they follow the advice of the expert reporter on the issue. i don't think we're going to fall offa i don't think we're going to fall off a cliff edge. i think there is going to have to be a business solution, a commercial solution to this and there will probably be a ru nway this and there will probably be a runway out and a runway in and there will be a period of a year or so in which some new arrangement will kick in. and the likes of max schrems and others will be watching. he will be watching closely. that is what he does. he does. and we do rely on people like that to

, during which britain will still abide by eu rules. pay the eu a ‘divorce bill‘ of around 33 billion pounds. and it sets out a plan for dealing with the northern irish border — with a possible customs border down the irish sea. our deputy political editor john pienaar has more. we're leaving. we're through the looking glass. everything looks the same, but nothing will be the same again. the last lonely protester was there, fighting a cause that, today, became officially lost. the ayes to the right — 358. the noes to the left — 234. cheering. a thumping victory for borisjohnson‘s eu divorce deal. but from the start, today, his big win was guaranteed. he came with an appeal for unity on his terms, to seek reconciliation in tones of triumph. this is the time when we move on and discard the old labels of leave and remain. in fact, the very words seem tired to me, and so now is the moment to come together and write a new and exciting chapter in our national story, to forge a new partnership with our european friends, to stand tall in the wo

economies, eu markets, eu producers, by lowering standards in the uk.social standards, welfare protections for workers. the uk could say, have cheaper pay for workers, have more polluting industries and therefore undercut the eu. the eu says no, you have to sign up to our conditions if you wa nt sign up to our conditions if you want full, free access. as soon as an argument happens around things, thatis an argument happens around things, that is when it will be harder to achieve a deal in the time frame. then we would reach a situation where there would be many, many trade—offs that would be needed between industries, producers and sectors on the eu side and the uk site, whether it is fishing, farming, services and banking. whether it is eu exporters, they will all want to have their say. it will all want to have their say. it will be difficult to achieve a deal in the time. michel barnier has said challenging, he believes it would be. the eu though, is not signalling it is impossible, but saying it will have to wait and see what the uk is prepared to s

the eu, the eu and, if you think of the eu, the commission negotiates on the of 27 countries, so countriesgether and thinking, what is my interest with the uk and what doi is my interest with the uk and what do i want to make sure is part of it? if you are looking at a basic deal, that might be possible, but that means it will not be a complete deal, so lots of sectors would not be covered, which creates business uncertainty. you would have to assume the eu would be happy to go for a basic deal as well. that is all future agreement stuff. in the next few days, what will we see? this is still part one, and we heard what the eu had to say yesterday, and they seemed quite relieved, now that the prime minister has a majority, things can move in parliament, and hopefully parliament will pass this withdrawal agreement, paving the way for discussions about their future relationship. paving the way for discussions about theirfuture relationship. it takes several steps. we have been hearing that the prime minister will try and introduce that bill this side of christmas, but i suspect that, in janua

so they always talk about the ceta trade deal with the eu, the seven—year canadian eu trade deal.tems or similar regulations, it'll be quicker. the second point is this, one reason brexit has been taking up so much bandwidth politically and in the media is because of the hung parliament, because of the constant debates and votes every week and knife edge votes and that sort of thing. when you are a prime minister with a big majority, those stories will go away. so we will start to write domestic matters as well. is the coming labour leadership context by predictable? ——contest qute predictable? can you see who will stand, what will happen? one thing that we can say, there will be civil wars breaking out in the labour party as we speak now. i think the runners and riders, there is an appetite for a female leader. we will definitely see, i think, angela rayner, emily thornberry, rebecca long—bailey, and angela rayner and rebecca long—bailey were seen to have very good election campaigns. they were sort of put forward, promoted very heavily by the leadership. but i think it's going t

as we forge a new future outside the eu and level up across oui’ outside the eu and level up across ourntry. our economics correspondent dharshini david joins me in the studio now. explain why the governor of the bank of england is an important figure. forget the man we just saw it's actually the governor of the bank of england who is perhaps the biggest control over our bank palace because he or she, control over our bank palace because he orshe, and control over our bank palace because he or she, and it is he which will get onto, but they set interest rates is up with panel that checks monetary levels. it also make sure that the banks don't take the necessary risk and the system has enough funds to make sure the wheels keep turning in the financial system so make this hugely. when it comes to interest rates, there are already very low. you look at the global economy and ours, things are pretty shaky point of the science art they will stay low for some time but there was plenty more in the in tray for him to worry about. this governor is andrew bailey but what is special about him? to

the uk can't undercut the eu.hat a deal could be done fairly fast but if the uk wants to argue over anything in bass balancing the interests of scottish fishermen and uk banks and german exporters, that could take months and months. so it depends how people approach this. damian grammaticas and norman smith, thank you very much. and you can see more about brexit and the election in a documentary which follows our political editor over the past few months. that's the brexit storm continues: laura kuenssberg's inside story, tonight at 9pm on bbc two. half a million washing machines in the uk made by whirlpool are to be recalled — plunging the manufacturer into a fresh saga about dangerous appliances. the machines — which are branded as hotpoint or indesit — were sold for more than five years, but their door locking system can overheat, creating the risk of fire. our business correspondent simon gompertz is here. what exactly has gone wrong, what is happening here? it is with the door locking mechanism of 519,000 wat

mr deputy speaker, all i want for christmas is not eu.iden — speeches. first to speak the new social democratic and labour party mp for belfast south. she described brexit as an "emergency". i was elected to do all i can to mitigate the impact of brexit for the people that i represent. and also as a northern irish politician, and a mum of three, the opportunity to speak for five minutes uninterrupted too exciting. she warned that borisjohnson‘s brexit plan would create an economic border in the irish sea. she said people in northern ireland knew the value of the eu. as my political hero and predecessor in this house, john humes, so often said, the eu is the greatest peace building and conflict resolution project anywhere in the world, and those of us particularly affected by conflict have a duty to reflect its principles. i'm afraid the concerns we have have been dismissed by those of you who won't ever have to live with the consequences of these actions. the new alliance party mp for north down, is a former minister in the northern irela

a thumping victory for borisjohnson‘s eu divorce deal., today, his big win was guaranteed. he came with an appeal for unity, on his terms, to seek reconciliation in tones of triumph. this is the time when we move on, and discard the old labels of leave and remain. in fact, the very words seem tired to me. and so now is the moment to come together and write a new and exciting chapter in our national story, to forge a new partnership with our european friends, to stand tall in the world, to begin the healing. this moment in history was his. 3.5 years after the referendum, the new pm felt strong enough to declare britain after brexit would set its own rules and standards, not follow the eu's. the very essence of the opportunity of brexit is that we will no longer outsource these decisions. with renewed national self—confidence, we will take them ourselves. and that is what worried his beaten rival. we warned before the general election the prime minister's brexit deal was a terrible deal for our country, and we still believe it's a terrible

and that i have no doubt, inside the eu, outside the eu, in our relationship with commonwealth countriesstands up for those values. we were at the heart of the setting up of the united nations in the late ‘40s. that's what britain stands for. it's in our dna, and wherever we are, whether inside or outside the european union, we will be arguing for that. and britain does have a voice and does have an influence, not least through our being one of the five key members of the united nations. and, inside or outside europe, we will be using that voice, and hopefully with these domestic arguments settled, we will be able to focus again on the importance of doing so internationally. andrew mitchell, we are out of time, but thank you very much for being on hardtalk. hello there.

the eu by january the 31st. is very odd stop we will be out of the eu byjanuary the 31st. about long—term issues, but that major decision for the country will come to pass at that point. the onto the immediate short term, he piled on a lot of domestic promises and pledges today beyond the brexit issue. he will have to deliver now that he has made those pledges and has this majority. clearly, and for the prime minister speaking here in downing street earlier, absolutely and, as in the referendum, that controversial promise made then, he made it plain that number one promise on the list after leaving the eu is to sort out the very many issues in the health service. clearly, he wants to try and run a government with wide appeal across the country, that rings true and makes sense to that political map that we saw emerge overnight, but it isa that we saw emerge overnight, but it is a tall order. the electoral map is a tall order. the electoral map is always moving and shifting. last night suggested it has suddenly changed and suddenly thrown up a different sort of equation, a d

so contract terms that allow eu data controllers to send data outside into the eu.are those adequate? if they are found to be deficient, controllers in the eu will have to use alternative measures and that may be challenging, given the existing framework. alternative measures, that sort of speak for more work on the part of big tech in the us to make sure they are handling our data correctly, or facing huge fines in europe, what will that mean for the relationship between the eu and the us? well, a lot focuses on the safeguards in the destination country. and whether that provides an adequate level of protection. and that goes to the ci’ux protection. and that goes to the crux of the concern in this case. in terms of alternatives for the grey transferring data, what is available? there is a mechanism called binding corporate rules, which can be used within multinational business. so if you are sending data to another group company, that might be available. but for smaller businesses, that can be very challenging.” but for smaller businesses, that can be very challen

, or membership in the eu. nato says that doors are open and wendy we will become members, but that day is not specified or marked in red anywhere on the calendar. but we are still doing it because we are not doing it neither for eu nor for nato. we are doing it for our country. the strategy of integration is very simple. we set ambitions. reintegrate ukraine to as many fields or markets when it comes to the eu or cubes of cooperation with nato as possible -- reintegrate. so when days when guys in brussels in both nato and eu look a bit like oh, but this ukrainians are already everywhere. so why she would make the next step? that's what we've been doing in the last three months. we adopted laws. we intensified political dialogue. we adopted bylaws. we engaged in very ambitious negotiations with both eu and nato. we host north atlantic council coming to the ukraine under the leadership of the secretary-general. we do reforms. we want our country to change here and jonathan rightly referred to just last night, th

and they said they would have new trade deal is ready to go at the point that we leave the eu.ne of these trade deals to be seen. that is the problem here. brexit in the form it was promised to the british people has proved in prom —— impossible to deliver. if you have another referendum, the big difference between 2020 and 2016 is that 2016 was basically a whatever you wanted to be brexit on the ballot paper. if we have a people's vote in 2020, it will be a defined form of brexit. we will be a defined form of brexit. we will know what it is that is actually on the table, and that is the difference. the final point on this is, there are over 2 million young people who were not able to vote in the original referendum who, if we held a referendum in 2020, would be able to vote. this will affect their future more than any other group, and affect their future more than any othergroup, andi affect their future more than any other group, and i don't think it is for us older generations to rob those younger generations of the opportunities and benefits of free movement when they are t

ship of the eu. of bringing people together, and a government which implements that decision, whatever it is. you cannot end the uncertainty on brexit if you don't know what the deal is that you wa nt don't know what the deal is that you want to do. i negotiated our deal, you cannot negotiate a deal if you're neutral on it, it is absolutely inconceivable. and i am afraid to say i think it is a failure of leadership not to have a position on the greatest issue facing this country at the moment. you cannot get a good deal for this country if you don't believe it and i want people to understand how mr corbyn proposes to negotiate a deal. we have put that to him and he has had the chance to respond, so, let's move on to the national health service. i have got another question. thank you. i am returning to my nursing post next april. it costs a lot to train as a nurse, but the starting salary is low. how would you deal with the shortage of nurses and ensure the nhs can retain them? faith, who is a student

westminster where mps prepare to vote on the prime minister's brexit plan — for the uk to leave the euthe end of january. borisjohnson says it's time for the country to move on and discard the labels ‘leave‘ and ‘remain‘. now is the time to act together as one reinvigorated nation, one united kingdom. this is the scene live in the house of commons. a vote is expected in the next half hour. the other main news headlines... us diplomat‘s wife anne sacoolas is charged with causing the death by dangerous driving of 19—year—old harry dunn. underwater motorways — heavy rain and floods put the brakes on the christmas getaway. buckingham palace confirms that the duke of edinburch is in hospital. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with connie. waiting for announcement from arsenal? we're waiting for confirmation that mikel arteta is the new arsenal manager. up until this week he was assistant coach to pep guardiola at manchester city — and in the last hour or so he's confirmed that arteta has left the club — and he's in london. chris has all the weather — parts of the country flooded? we

a master plan that might fundamentally transform the eu it includes a 50% reduction in eu carbon emissions2030. carbon neutrality by 2050. a carbon border tax on polluting foreign firms and a 100 billion euro transition fund for countries dependent on coal and nuclear energy. an ambitious plan. he will have to do -- she will have to do more convincing along the way. finland is already sold on the urgency of the matter. >> we all know we have to do more, faster, it is about our children's future. about future generations. i am happy about these steps forward we made last night. >> last night, after 10 hours of debate, almost all member states endorse the goal of the eu becoming climate neutral by 2050. one country did not commit to implementing that goal. polaland. the reason for the exception is poland's energy largely y comes from coal. the country fears the transition to a greener economy. poland hololding back might seem disappointing, but not to german chancellor angela merkel. >> i understand why he is asking for more time and i would like to say, if people pretend the transition is j

it ensures that we depart from the eu on the 31st of january it ensures that we depart from the eu on the 31st ofjanuary and at that point brexit will be done. it will be over. we need, mr speaker, an approach that puts jobs and we need, mr speaker, an approach that putsjobs and living standards first and build the strongest cooperation with our european neighbours. we'll bring you the latest reaction from westminster as mps continue to debate the government's brexit deal. and i'm carrie gracie. the other headlines this hour: the head of the financial conduct authority — andrew bailey — is named as the next governor of the bank of england. without question, he is the right person to lead the bank as we forge a new future outside the eu and level up across our great country. trains and road travel is severely disrupted on one of the busiest travel days of the year — gatwick services are affected and there's disruption in devon and cornwall. australia's pm apologises for going on holiday while the country's bushfire crisis worsens , fire continues to ravage parts of the country. and the

it is something the eu themselves have agreed.ng trading relationship over the past a0 years so there is a strong content to conclude this. we wa nt to strong content to conclude this. we want to move forward and if that is what we want to do this at pace. want to move forward and if that is what we want to do this at pacem someone was looking at this and looking at your proposals, clearly what the conservatives are saying is that we are being active and moving on and swiftly. another way of looking at this, the labour party making it clear, this feels as if it is being steamrolled and the will not be any scrutiny and parts removed without any further discussion with anyone else and we're moving into different style of government which isjust we're moving into different style of government which is just pushing ahead and not allowing questions to be asked. i do not think the labour party ca n be asked. i do not think the labour party can make its mind up, as we saw during the election whenjeremy corbyn took a position of neutralit

we will leave the eu by 31 january at the latest.future relationship with the eu, and the world, could be tougher and take longer than boris johnson predicts. no doubt who is in charge now, or whosejob it is to make brexit work. prosecutors in the uk have charged the wife of a us diplomat with causing the death by dangerous driving of a teenage motorcyclist in a road crash. after harry dunn died, anne sacoolas flew back to the united states under diplomatic immunity. extradition proceedings are now under way but mrs sacoolas says she will not return voluntarily to the uk. duncan kennedy reports. 0h, ijust hope and hope that it's going to be the right choice today. harry's parents, charlotte and tim, travelled to london not knowing what today would bring. but, at the cps headquarters, they were told the main suspect was being charged with dangerous driving. harry's family have spent four months waiting to see if charges would be brought in his case. we really do feel it's one huge step towards that promise to harry, and that in itself

the sunday express, eu will lose brexit trae del 5—8. express, eu will lose brexit trae del 5-8.—8. it is the eu who will come out the wrong side of this trade deal negotiation, they say. well, you know more than ideal on this one. we couldn't find page four online. they don't have much of this story. there isn't much there. they are saying that two senior european politicians are saying that, actually, the eu will be the loser. obviously we should note this is in the sunday express, the most brexiteer of all the newspapers by some way, probably with the telegraph. from what they believe, obviously we don't have this section of the story, butjournalists obviously we don't have this section of the story, but journalists talk, i think these are people in hungary who have sort of suggested that the airyou who have sort of suggested that the air you should be pushing for a deal. the other side of this is what borisjohnson is deal. the other side of this is what boris johnson is theoretically planning to do, which is to strike a trade deal in an extraordinarily short time, is one, unp

zaev is clearly worried about the consequences if the eu doesn't open its doors. was not 100 years ago, there was war. in our country, 2001, conflict between albanians and macedonians. what has happened in kosovo, what's happened in croatia and bosnia, everywhere in the balkans. remember this period of time. there is a lot of feelings. there is a lot of victims from these wars here, with a lot of sensitivity. we need to take care about that. but others also need to take care, like european union and neighbours. for many younger citizens, like blaznen, being inside the eu is much more important than the country's name. this dispute has been going on for 30 years, pretty much your whole life. what was the impact of this? i think people, especially young people, were kind of getting bored with this topic, constantly being asked what the name issue is, how you will resolve this, what are the possibilities? i think we all feel quite european. we want to live with open borders and have movement of young people and learn from each other what the other culture is. the you

the so that he can leave the eu at the end ofjanuary.er, is the only party that supports that step, so the conservatives have to get an overall majority if borisjohnson is going to deliver his central pledge of getting the uk out of the eu. to get an overall majority, the conservatives probably need a lead of around six or seven points, which is not so far below the ten point lead that they seemingly have, but we can‘t rule out the possibility that he might fail. this isn‘t about who wins or loses, it is about how well the conservatives win and if they fail to win adequately enough, even though they might have more seats than labour, borisjohnson could still find himself out on his ear. thank you forjoining us. thank you for that explanation. as the uk goes to the polls tomorrow, european leaders will be meeting in brussels for their end of year summit. british prime minister borisjohnson will not be there of course. he will be a little busy otherwise. but will be represented according to reports in belgium by the new european council pr

, outside the eu, ina no doubt, inside the eu, outside the eu, in a relationship with commonwealth countriesericans, always written stands up the americans, always written stands upfor the americans, always written stands up for those values. we were at the heart of the setting up of the united nations in the late 1940s. that's what written stands for. it's in our dna. and wherever we are, whether inside or outside the european union, we will be arguing for that —— britain. and britain does have a voice and does have an influence, not least through our being one of the five key members of the united nations. an inside or outside exit, we will be using that voice. and hopefully with these domestic arguments settled we will be able to focus again on the importance of doing so internationally. andrew mitchell, we're out of time, but thank you very much for being on hardtalk. hello there. after a windy and at times rather wet night, thursday promises to be a blustery and at times rather wet day. some outbreaks of rain at times, but not all the time. it's going to be windy, but with that, it is g

will the eu turn to protectionism?airplane passenger made an 88—year old's dream come true thanks to a heart—warming act of generosity. hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and james reynolds is in london. we don't know, the day after, exactly what impact the impeachment of president trump will have on the election next year. it could help him or it could hurt him. we do know one thing though — impeachment is doing nothing to bring the country together. in the hours since mr trump became the third american president to face the sanction of impeachment, the anger, on both sides has only increased. republicans today are denouncing what they call a sham, toxic, embarassing process. by contrast, democrats say that the president and top republicans have gone rogue. mr trump himself is back in the white house today after holding a raucous rally in michigan last night. it doesn't really feel like we're being impeached. they don't even have any crime. this is the first impeachment where there's no crime. we did noth

during this time, the uk will still have to abide by eu rules. will be a so called ‘divorce bill‘ of around £33 billion paid to brussels, for commitments the uk has already signed up to, and the agreement sets out a plan for the border with northern ireland, effectively creating a customs barrier down the irish sea. with more, here‘s our deputy political editor, john pienaar. we‘re leaving. we‘re through the looking glass. everything looks the same, but nothing will be the same again. the last lonely protester was there, fighting a cause that, today, became officially lost. the ayes to the right — 358. the noes to the left — 234. cheering a thumping victory for borisjohnson‘s eu divorce deal. but from the start today his big win was guaranteed. he came with an appeal for unity on his terms, to seek reconciliation in tones of triumph. this is the time when we move on and discard the old labels of leave and remain. in fact, the very words seem tired to me, and so now is the moment to come together and write a new and exciting chapter in our nationa

we did not vote to leave the eu treaties to sign up to a new eu treaty. question. everyone keeps saying we voted brexit and we had a referendum and should move on but by that same logic why do we have a general election every five years? people change their minds and it has been thrilled to have you. i think that the electorate has changed and surely this is the only democratic outcome to put the vote back to the people and have a second referendum. and we will take another question. why are women not talking about cambridge analytica and the result that came from the 2016 election. dominic cummings conspired with cambridge analytica to swing the result. another point there. the reportjeremy result. another point there. the report jeremy corbyn read result. another point there. the reportjeremy corbyn read out result. another point there. the report jeremy corbyn read out to us the other day. nigel farage, i know you have a radio show that this is not your show. jonathan, to bring you in here. the theme and picking up you in here. the theme and picking up

so, by law, britain's to be clear of eu rules by the end of 2020, with or without a negotiated eu trades that deadline a real one? the deadline's meant to build pressure for an agreement next year. critics claim a messy exit may mean a no—deal outcome has grown more likely. keen brexiteers look happy. a promise to stick to eu rules on workers' rights is being dropped, though the employment secretary insists rights will be strengthened by british law. britain's still divided, though borisjohnson's firmly in charge. but both main leaders, the victor and his beaten rival, lead parties that are seeking a new way. the tories to keep power, labour to somehow win it back. the commons looks the same today, but it isn't. far fewer labour mps than before and the new speaker, dragged by tradition to the chair, will have an easier job than the last one. why? prime minister. cheering. because the prime minister's command of the commons is total. i mean absolutely no disrespect to those who are no longer with us, mr speaker, but i think that this parliament is a vast improvement on its predecessor. t

we will leave the eu by 31 january at the latest.s future relationship with the eu, and the world, could be tougher and take longer than boris johnson predicts. no doubt who is in charge now, or whosejob it is to make brexit work. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. the duke of edinburgh has been admitted to hospital in london for treatment for a pre—existing condition. buckingham palace says prince philip travelled from sandringham on the advice of his doctor. from norfolk, maria veronese reports. apart from the heightened security and press pack, the queen's arrival at king's lynn station at lunchtime was low—key — so low—key, in fact, that many of the passengers were unaware they had just shared their journey with the head of state. no, was she? well, that's why there's so much policemen and everybody. i didn't know she was riding. she was on the train, you've just missed her. i didn't get to see her, no. but i did think she'd be there when we saw all the police. bless her heart, she's wonderful. she is truly wonderful. one famil

in other words we must change our rule aligned with the eu. can i say to the prime minister, he will have 100 percent support on the conservative party by ruling out any concept of dynamic alignment which would lead britain in terms of taking back control and we had at november of the european union. mister speaker, this debate that we are embarking upon is a clear choice. there was never at any point in theeuropean debate the option of maintaining the state cool. because we either had to embark on our own clothes , controlling our own future or we were times when economic and political model of the european union that was ioutterly dependent on ever closer unions. i never have believed that ever closer union was in britain's national interest and it did not destroy the wrong destination and the best thing to do is to get off the box and decided on the plan. >> does not recall that the leader of the opposition since his time igsneering at the standards in the united states. a democratic and advanced economy where one of the points that he was
