is this ‘s existential moment for the eu? emmanuel macron wa nt moment for the eu?the colla pse want a few days ago that the collapse of the eu as a political project was possible if the recovery plan does not get pushed through and does not work? unfortunately, the eu is quite often at the verge of an existential collapse! that has been away existential collapse! that has been any, existential collapse! that has been away many, many commentators describe challenges to the eu for quite some time. but the resilience of the project, the fact that it is the biggest source of peace and prosperity in europe in the last 70 years.... prosperity in europe in the last 70 years. . .. minister, prosperity in europe in the last 70 years.... minister, we hear that phrase all the time but what you say to.... the phrase all the time but what you say to. . .. the italians. .. phrase all the time but what you say to.... the italians... popular because the counterfactual is very negative. yes, the italians now two—thirds of them say it is a disadvantage being part of the eu and at th

but is this an existential moment for the eu?ys ago that the collapse of the eu as a political project was possible if this recovery plan doesn't get pushed through and doesn't work. you know, unfortunately, the eu is quite often at the verge of an existential collapse! that has been the way many, many commentators describe all challenges to the eu for quite some time. but the resilience of the project, the fact that it is the biggest source of peace and prosperity in europe in the last 70 years... ah, minister, we hear that phrase all the time. but what do you say to those italians, two thirds of italians, who now say...? interjecting ..because the counterfactual is very negative. yeah, the italians now, two thirds of them say that being in the eu is a disadvantage for their country. and at the same time, polls in holland, in the netherlands, say that the dutch will be deeply unhappy if the eu promises to mutualise the debt of a country like italy. so wherever you look at it, north or south, there is a profound problem. what i c

you worked for the european commission and you are a strong advocate of a strong eu, an integrated euronavirus crisis was a disaster for the european union with the signal lack of solidarity? the european union has very few competences in the area of health. so it is true that at the beginning of this pandemic, which is a health crisis at the end of the day, there was some hesitation on the eu institution side, but did not last long because we soon realised what was a health crisis posed a threat to the three fundamental ingredients of the european union. one was the movement of people, circulation within the eu, and it was a threat to the internal market in that at the beginning of covid—19, number of countries decided to take measures to restrict circulation of medicines or protective equipment within the eu, something that should not be done and the third threat, and it is a fundamental one, was the threat to the economic and monetary union. this is why after this, the response that the european institutions have given to covid—19 have been swift, they have been robust and we are n

this was not started by the eu, the eu is not the enemy.till leave the withdrawal agreement in place, so citizens' rights would still be protected. yes, and there are in fact a number of eu citizens who have been democrat received status. it lots of uncertainty exists in every single other area. when we talk about the future commercial relationship, when we talk about what will happen with movement — we have not yet set out the rules as they will apply, on money laundering, counterterrorism, we are still very far away. of course we need to ask what will happen. we would like there to be a deal before he crashed into a no deal, and that would be, i think, unnecessary and unwanted by both sides. just moving away from brexit, i wonder if i can get your thoughts ona i wonder if i can get your thoughts on a life breaking copy here that i have that donald trump says the us will impose a tariff on eu cars u nless will impose a tariff on eu cars unless the eu changes its tariffs on american lobsters. i think donald trump should focus on what's happ

the prime minister will be speaking to the eu commission and the eu parliament and the eu council thatmember states on monday, and the message will be much the same. but what michael gove was also saying was that in effect, the government would have to take some pragmatic and flexible measures at the end of that transition period and that amounts to not actually doing some customs and border checks on goods as they come into britain for a further x months. they are also announcing that today they are sorting out the infrastructure on the border. they might need more customs infrastructure, there might have to be new facilities in land if they couldn't cram it into existing british ports. so michael gove was asked whether, in fact, as somebody who had advocated brexit and had beenin who had advocated brexit and had been in charge of preparations for a new deal brexit, whether there really was a failure to prepare. in an in the 1st ofjanuary next really was a failure to prepare. in an in the ist ofjanuary next year we will be outside of the customs union and outside the single market, so

now, the uk would like full access to the eu market to sell its fish there, but in return the eu wantsegotiators say that has to change. and then there's the governance of any future agreement. that's partly about how new agreements would be enforced and about the role of the european court ofjustice. now, it normally takes years to do a trade deal but this process only has a matter of months left. remember, the uk left the eu on january the 31st and we're now in a transition period when all the rules and regulations and payments stay the same until the end of the year. but if no trade agreement is completed by then the uk won't have any formal deal with its closest neighbours, which account for nearly half its total trade. by law, any extension to the transition period would have to be agreed by the end of this month and the eu says it's willing to talk about an extension. the scottish and welsh governments are also in favour. so is the northern ireland assembly. but the uk government has repeatedly ruled it out. so can any basic deal still be done? well, if there's political will to

the people that a a critique of the eu said look, look what's happening to britain. this is not as easy to do as you claim. so eu skepticism in italy significant decline as a bit partial in france, but it's definitely on the rise now. so yes, it is possible but i just don't say i will it anyway because i say just extraordinary turbulence which will come about, not least if countries have to return to other currencies. >> i'm going to go to our next question, with so many questions, so thank you to the audience. i'm trying to sift through them the best i can. this question is from timothy, and the question is, whether crescendo of anti-media sentiment translate into any change in the composition of media or communication of ideas? i'm so glad he asked because you were just early on about to say something more about why and how the turn in uk in the media was so swift. can you tell us more about that? >> it was quite specific when enough december twisp and happen to the white house press briefings and questions. essentially what it is, is the media didn't know what to

i believe it will be the basis for consensus within the eu. that is the direction we want to go during our presidency. >> it does nothing like europe can depend on the united states anymore after the announcement that it is pulling troops out of germany. what do you expect from donald trump before the u.s. elections? >> i think the u.s. election has its own wills. -- rules. regardless of who was in the white house, americans and europeans are united by the democracy and freedom values. that is not the case with other regions in the world, so there is still more that unites us than divides us. even if relations are complicated at the moment. i can't imagine that the u.s. in the long term would be interested in us uncoupling our security arrangements. brent: that was the german foreign minister. here are some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world.. the european court of justice has rolled a law in hungary requiring ngos to disclose their foreign donors is illegal. the court says the law breaches the eu's fundamental rig

now this is tricky because the eu certainly doesn't want countries to achieve access because the eu's rate of infection rises. that's another way that you could bring them into sync. the u.s., brazil and russia, some of these countries that have really struggled to get the covid-19 situation under control, to bring those rates of new infections down. we know that some states in the u.s. are locking down again. trying to get that under control. once they do that, nonessential travel will again be allowed. they're going to reassess these lists at least every two weeks is the plan, so that as the conditions change, they will be able to rapidly adjust and allow more travellers to start moving again. >> and david, is this just about the numbers or is there an element of payback with this move? >> no, this is very much about the numbers. there is some historic bitterness here. the eu was really stung in march when donald trump announced unilaterally, unexpectedly a travel ban on the u.s. side. it was nighttime here in europe. they woke up to chaos in the european airports. nobody was prepar

an snp mp has a bleak assessment of the chances of success in uk—eu trade talks. is going to be misery heaped on misery as covid and brexit appear like the twin horsemen of the economic apocalypse trampling over any prospect of recovery. and mps are told how coronavirus has brought hard times for theatres and musicians. the union, we're running out of money. we have £1 million into a hardship fund — that's pretty much gone. but first, the education secretary has confirmed he's dropping plans for all primary school years in england to go back to school before the end of term. ministers were aiming for all primary pupils to spend four weeks in school before the summer break. but the idea is no longer thought feasible and instead heads will be given "flexibility" over whether or not to admit more children. while we are not able to welcome all primary children back for a full month before the summer, we continue to work with at the sector on the next steps where we would like to see schools who have the capacity to bring back more children in those smart class sizes t

the eu wants to create i would construct us. the eu wants to create i would co nstru ct a us.ing an agreement, such as things like the nonaggression measures when it came to social, environmental, climate —related, tax and fiscal matters, and sustainable development. so no progress there. and then on governance, we are still a long way away from the framework we wanted, establishing legal links between our different areas of cooperation or a crosscutting government framework. finally, and law enforcement, judicial and police cooperation, we we re judicial and police cooperation, we were able to have a more constructive discussion on the issues of commitments arising from the european convention on human rights, but there are still important questions open as to how all of that would be reflected in the agreement itself. so, ladies and gentlemen, on these points as on others, all we ask for is for the political declaration to be respected and complied with. there has been no significant progress on these points, as i have said, not since the start of the negotiations, andi sinc

i think theummit, eu is more realistic, and in my opinion, the eu should be very clear in its messagea. it will be no investment agreement until three conditions are fulfilled. reciprocity. that means we will demand the same access on all companies to your market as we grant your companies to our market. secondly, we demand a level playing field. that is, we will not accept subsidies from state owned chinese companies to compete with our companies, and finally we would demand better protection of our intellectual property rights. no stealing our technology. great, but ats the end of the day, europe still need investment and they investment from china and they do sell their stuff to china. how do they draw those redlines? anders: you are right. many european countries need capital, need investment, and we saw that in the wake of the financial crisis. the chinese were ready to take strategically important european companies. this would not happen this time. the european commission, as well as national member states are comparing screening mechanisms to avoid the chinese taking over stra

the italian public had seen an enormous swing, rather surprisingly in recent weeks against the eu. i think it was rightfully enraged by the countries that have lectured people most on mechanism in recent years. actually when the crisis hit during something that was completelyagainst everything they had said before . and so i think there's a lot of looking around and a lot of lessons already being taken so it will be sometime before we see the effects of that in polls or in the voting at this point. >> let's talk for a second about general public sentiment in the uk right now here in the us it's a pretty strong divide of people who believe that at this moment in time is further evidence of massive government incompetence and there are those that are taking this as an opportunity to say government required more control and more intervention to beable to handle the situation better . doesn't matter which camp you're in, i think trust is at all-time low in the us which has created a number of problems for us. is that the same thing over in england? are you experiencing that same sort o

also tonight: the government rules out prolonging trade talks with the eu beyond december — but checkss coming to the uk will be phased in next year. how city dwellers used to live — urban areas and deprived areas have been worse hit by coronavirus, according to new figures. the prime minister says it's absurd and shameful that a statue of churchill has had to be boxed up to protect it from anti—racism protesters. and tomorrow's official birthday celebrations for the queen will go ahead — but not like this. and coming up on bbc news... another blow to the formula 1 season — as three more races are axed. the grands prix in singapore, azerbaijan and japan have all been cancelled. good evening. the dramatic economic effect of the lockdown was laid bare today. in april the uk economy shrank by more than a fifth — that's the largest monthly contraction ever recorded as we spent our first full month in lockdown. the slump of 20.4% in economic growth is three times larger than the decline seen during the whole of the financial crisis 12 years ago. the office for national statistics says it's

-eu trade talks are headed?we did see boris johnson and emmanuel macron, we see that they have very good personal chemistry, that they were well together and both of them did say with or without brexit, we need to maintain this partnership. nothing major came out of it. celebratingut london, celebrating charles de gaulle. we do understand that they talked about it. we saw that they said they should do a bilateral meeting to really strengthen this partnership. the one line the u.k. continues to stress is that they do believe there is a way to get a deal done before the end of the summer. you do see the two sides trying to weaponize time because the europeans will tell you this is probably not going to happen and we are headed into a negotiation into october. nejra: thank you so much. let's now get to the first word news. china's top virus expert has warned against loosening restrictions in beijing despite authorities saying a outbreak in the city has been contained. cases surged in latin america with mexico sayin

we did not vote in june 2016 to leave the eu but still to be run by the eu.s the eu court of justice a role in our future relationship. we cannot accept restrictions on our legislative and economic freedom, unprecedented in any other free trade agreement. and we cannot agree to the eu's demand that we stick to the status quo on their access to british fishing waters. so there must be movement and the clock is ticking. the transition period ends on december the 31st, that was a manifesto pledge on which this government was elected and it was the instruction from the electorate in the 2016 referendum. to leave the single market and the customs union and to grant the opportunities of full economic and political independence. for yea rs economic and political independence. for years on from the referendum result, no one can argue that this isa result, no one can argue that this is a rushed or persisted step, it is delivering at last on democracy. we will manage the adjustment required at the end of the transition period in electable and pragmatic way to minimise

the eu -- one of the eu's largest trading partners, rather, is the united states. they rely heavily on tourism money from the united states. france, 10% of its gdp, based on tourism. so there are big financial implications here. but the bottom line is, the eu is unwilling to risk lives for financial gain. that this is a matter, again, of a health decision. of what is best for the eu, at large. and what is best for the eu, at large, is to follow this -- is to follow this checklist, to make sure these criteria are set in place. if you don't tick the boxes, you simply will be banned from entry. michael. >> interesting to see how this unfolds. thanks so much there in london for us. >>> those eu travel restrictions were on the agenda during a closed-door meeting on friday between the u.s. vice president mike pence and airline industry executives. but the main focus of that was the airline's plan for contact tracing. the airlines have objected the government's demand that they contact trace their passengers. but on friday, both sides reached a compromise. they will use a

of course structural race in eu is different from the u.s. we don't have the same horrific history of slavery and lynchings, but we do have documented atrocities in our colonial history which still resonates today through extermination of police brutality. in addition, we have recent history of systematic persecution, mass murders of minorities, of youth, of lgbt persons, to name a few. no one is free and less all are free. we need to send a strong signal to the u.s., but also to sweep in front of her own goal. this parliament, and your commission, will define how the eu subset to create a sustainable society that leaves no one behind. there can be no room for racism and discrimination. a first step would be to unblock the anti-discrimination directive that has been stuck in council since 2008. madam president, i call on you and incoming german presidency to take this historic opportunity for action. tonight, i want to put my daughter to bed and assure her, you will be safe, because in the eu we refuse to be silenced by hate, by fear, by igno

we have some fresh lines out of the eu tax commissioner. he says he regrets the move to put brakes on the international talks. he hopes this is a temporarily setback rather than a definitive stop he said he hopes finding a solution is impossible this year, the eu will come forward with its own proposal at an eu level. that is interesting. also saying the commission stands with eu countries that have moved forward on digital taxation we will act as one, if needed. that is the message that follows the message earlier this morning. now the eu commissioner von der layen, she also cast out over britain's decision not to extend beyond the post brexit decision period >> we have been ready to grant extinction this means we are now half way through negotiations with five months left to go. we are definitely not half way through the work to reach an agreement with little time ahead of us. we will do all in our power reach an agreement we'll be constructive as always and be ready to be creative to find common ground where there seems to be none what w

but the eu is not reciprocating, saying it will be ready for controls on imports come january.but that doesn't mean the political pressure's eased. the government was re—elected with a significant majority, with a strong mandate to get on with brexit. if the government's going to fulfil the commitments on which it's elected, we need to have those customs processes and our borders fully operational as soon as we can. for businesses, certainty, as ever, is key, even more so given the turmoil of coronavirus. while a slower approach to new border checks might be welcomed by some, it's whether a trade deal can be done which remains crucial to many. next to seattle, where protesters have set up a ‘police—free' area of the city. they're calling it an autonomous zone, across four blocks of the city. president trump has threatened to end the demonstrations with military force. the governor there says the president should stay out of the state's business. there are still growing calls for police reforms across the us, in the wake of george floyd's death. jane 0'brien has more. black live

the eu is now considering rolling up the welcome mat from visitors from coronavirus hot spots such as the united states. medical professionals and local governments across america are exasperated by the white house's stubborn deafness to reality, even on something as common sense as face masks. and because the trump administration insists on pushing an alternative narrative that ignores science, there's growing fear this unprecedented health crisis is about to get much worse. for more, here's cnn's erica hill. >> today, we find ourselves careening towards a catastrophic and unsustainable situation. >> reporter: harris county, texas, elevating its public threat level to red, the highest level, urging people to stay home, banning large outdoor gatherings. >> the outbreaks are worsening, public health care capacity is strained or surged and it's already in progress. >> reporter: governor greg abbott altering the state's reopening closing bars and restaurants back to 50% occupancy as new cases continue to surge. >> how does that make things better? >> reporter: staggering in florida, near

what are we expecting from germany as it is set to begin the eu presidency on the first of july? >> in fact that was a subject that came up very often in the press conference of the two leaders today. it is something that seems to be central to their thinking, both of them. both of them obviously it face green parties in their countries at home. emmanuel macron this sunday and angela merkel also pressure from the green party. at the same time we have to remember the new head of the year pn union -- of the european union is the former germrman defense minister, and a close associate of angela merkel who has also been pushing a green agenda for the european union. so there is a lot of interest, a lot of political pressure on these issues, not only in terms of finding a solution for the environment, but also i think with some sort of political maneuvering in the background because of the domestic situation in the various countries. brent: we know france is also preparing to take over the eu presidency one and a half years from now. how important will the german- franco relationship

>>> indeed, although this is not an eu-u.s. problem it's a global problem. a number are practicing what is called excessive big digital companies have been there for a long time and it needs to be addressed and has embarked on a negotiation in order to level taxation. and and this has been for a long time and it is in the case of the digital company luckily they're heavy already. taxation and some in europe like u.k., like france, like spain, some in emerging countries, india, mexico, already have this kind so the question is not a bilateral eu you ask if it's a global issue that needs to be addressed globally. >> it's a long list of countries that the united states could go after and what happens in a situation like this? what is the role of the wto? >>> well, as far as the wto is concerned, the rule is that countries are stubborn in the way they exercise their taxat n taxation you can do what you like provided this does not discriminate unfairly foreign operators. that's the rule and it puts taxes on domestic companies so there's no discrimination >> how c

give us a sense of the view in your home country, germany, and across the eu.rtainly been observed now, already, since the middle of march, with astonishment i think sometimes, how slow the british prime minister and the british government have reacted and how much they have struggled to manage the covid—19 crisis. also in a sense that if you, as an outsider, look at the uk, the uk is admired as a place of science, the best scientists, the best research and development. i think only this week the european union, the commission, decided to bid some money for a vaccine that might be coming from oxford university. there is this gap of perception between how well this country can manage science and how badly, actually, with more than maybe 60,000 people who died of covid—19, the prime minister and the government have managed the crisis, especially this is the view from southern countries such as spain and italy who also have a lot of people, immigrants, living in the uk and they were surprised if not shocked how badly the effect of covid—19 has been in the uk. and,

now, the uk would like full access to the eu market to sell its fish there, but in return the eu wantse's the governance of any future agreement. that's partly about how new agreements would be enforced and about the role of the european court ofjustice. now, it normally takes years to do a trade deal but this process only has a matter of months left. remember, the uk left the eu on january 31st and we're now in a transition period when all the rules and regulations and payments stay the same until the end of the year. but if no trade agreement is completed by then the uk won't have any formal deal with its closest neighbours, which account for nearly half its total trade. by law, any extension to the transition period would have to be agreed by the end of this month and the eu says it's willing to talk about an extension. the scottish and welsh governments are also in favour. so is the northern ireland assembly. but the uk government has repeatedly ruled it out. so can any basic deal still be done? well, if there's political will to make concessions on both sides, then, yes, perhaps i

the eu and they will be allowed. of growth or the 14-day trend is worse than the eu, then you won't be allowed into the european union. that means countries, for example, like russia, like brazil, and yes, like the united states will face an indefinite ban reviewed every two weeks until they meet the same standards and levels as the eu. they've been quite open about this, the eu. they're not messing around. they recognize that their hard work will not be undone by allowing other people in. >> also some element of retaliation, because the u.s. did this to the eu back when the coronavirus outbreak began? >> there's some people suggesting there's a bit of tit for tat, but i'm sure there's an element of the u.s. embarrassment as a result of this. but you have to bear in mind, world leaders are looking at the united states and saying, what on earth is going on when the leader of that country is doing exactly the occupant of what the experts say should be done. in that scenario, alisyn, it's not surprising that the u.s. tr

more so than the eu. heather: i don't.rationn the watching this process over the past six months. some very difficult decisions have to be made by the u.k. on how they are going to approach this. to keep the goods and regulatory processes going towards europe? they are going to have to agree to certain things in order to do that. if they don't want to that, they are going to have to make other decisions. i don't know what intensification is going to do, somebody's going to have to give. k. estimate decisions and right now it is only focusing on redlines, not what it wants to do and until that happens, they remain stuck. the eu is going to make changes to the single market, but i just don't see that happening right now. said, the absolutely problem is, brexit is now falling way down the agenda. it is obviously dealing with the pandemic, recovery and resilience, the multi-annual financial framework, brexit for the eu is not on top of the list here. and i don't know how much more it will become a to do serious negotiations. t

matter.ection in the eu the german elections and any others.eep the fairions in europe to be competition of real people and ideas.eals -- and real we do not want this just to be a competition. who can pay for certain methods like we saw with the cambridge analytica. who can pay more for their use artificial intelligence? we will do everything to protect the fairness of the elections in the eu. anna: i understand the european union is considering next apps after germany's top court game that ruling on the ecb. that decisionink by the constitutional court in germany means for the ecb? what are the consequences? commissioner jourova: on -- as far as the legal assessment of the decision itself and the concert once is, we are still analyzing and preparing a reaction which i cannot now tell you more about. but already the day after the decision was taken, we said clearly that the european court of justice has the last word in weerpreting the eu law and fully recognize the independence the eu lawalso that has primacy over the national on which was alr

is not on an eu list of travel restrictions to the block. confirming today which countries will have access to the region with a list that will include japan, canada and australia. this has been a wide-ranging discussion of who is on the list and who is not >> absolutely. finally, later today, we'll know whether the european union is exempting the country from travel the countries will decide to close their borders to nonessential travel. now as they are reopening their economies, the european commission advised them to essentially open their external borders in a gradual manner. this is why we'll hear from the european union later today the governments are due to vote on a list that would be prepared last week that are expected to be exempt in the first pais page the expectation is that u.s. is not on this list on the other hand, china is. that is dependent whether the chinese authorities also say that european travelers can also arrive there we are likely to hear from the european union later today if this vote goes ahead to get approved,

italy will lift travel restrictions welcoming those from the eu.ome eu states are still imposing quarantines from residents returning from italy a warning that, quote, italy will not be treated by a leper collin >> walk us through what this measure means and the steps they've taken to ensure the safety of visitors going there this summer. >> i'm standing at the central train station here in milan where you can't see them but it is packed with reporters and camera crews everyone is trying to understand what the italians are feeling. how are they acting at this opening up and lifting of the travel ban what we got was not too much excitement the capacity of the trains leaving is at about 15%. these trains can be filled at most 50% to ensure all of these safety measures that have to be applied. they are keen on moving around and cautious of that put in place. you still have to wear a mask outside and three or four regions is one of them you still have a lot of restrictions in terms of social distancing you cannot hug and kiss. if you want to go to a ba

you are absolutely right the eu is not unified on every subject. we have a lot of differences on migration, the future of the eurozone, et cetera. on the future of the internal market, there is a huge unity. again, everybody has strong interest in keeping the internal market some form symbolic reasons it comes to the french and the origin of the european integration process. some for interest. economic interest. if you take companies like poland, hungry or eve czech republic they are sympathetic to british government on money aspects but in the internal market they will not change the view but change the integrity of the market because too many economic interests of them are at stake >> professor, thank you for joining us >>> coming up on "street signs," the world health organization warns of a rise of coronavirus clusters among a spike of hospitalization cases and a rice of cases in beijing. we'll discuss this next. a try. a try. between wisdom and curiosity, there's a bridge. between ideas and inspiration, trauma and treatment. gained a couple of

catherine: looking at the eu's future, the 27 remaining member states, the cu recovery plan, this euovery plan, post-coronavirus, it is a plan pushed by france and germany, your two enormous neighbors, it would be mutual borrowing from all member states fofor grants to be given outcome of money given to member states worst hit by these pandemic. there has been pushed back from the so-called "frugal states," let's be honest, they are the richest state in the eu, calling for a high proportion of money to be given out as loans, which would be given back eventually. your country is the wealthiest in the eu per capita. do you have sympathy for that position? pm bettel: no. no. for me, we have to be able to also give -- we have to have the principle of solidarity. i cannot understand, "if we did, we want guarantees," just to say no is not acceptable. we need to be around the table. we should not forget, germany was also part of it, but now germany is against come in the normal, i call it "the normal," i call myself a normal country, as a luxembourger, but i do not agree that you come to br

boris johnson sounds more optimistic as does the eu. else, it will be a matter of political will and i think the time we have available on both sides is going to be very limited. and with the bandwidth with is spent on london responding to the covid-19 crisis. i think it is in the interest of both sides to come to a deal. the question of what is called the level playing field. namely the extent to which the u.k. is prepared to place limits to diverge.om secondly, fisheries. fisheries is a tiny fraction of the economy of the u.k. but it has talismanic significance in countries like denmark, spain, france, and the netherlands. anna: you have been inside these negotiations from an earlier phase of them that you have real experience in the way these things go. as tos your assessment whether we will end up with no deal or what percentage chance of a full trade deal? mr. lidington: i think that full the chances of ratification given the time thelable, there will be need for some sort of rollover. we have already seen the british government sa
