uk companies can export to the eu. brexit of course isn'tjust about trade. there's an awful lot else going on, for example, the possibility of regulating our economy more sensibly as a sovereign nation. we're very used to the idea that trade deals are good . things, because they reduce i trade barriers that makes trade easier, and profits go up. what i don't understand i is why people don't accept that the converse would also be true, that if you raise trade - barriers, then trade will reduce. - raising trade barriers - is exactly what we've done with the eu. acoutstic guitar plays 500 miles south in surrey, another business is hitting a brexit bump. countless sleepless nights just trying to figure out how we're actually going to get this done and make sure that we can continue selling in the eu. matt ford makes vegan snack bars. some are sold direct to customers' homes in europe. but some of them are now sending the packages back because they're being hit with customs fees. i've had to turn off internet sales to europ

a new path of partnership with the eu. , ., ., , , the eu. so they want a partnership and they realise they need to have | the eu. so they want a partnership. and they realise they need to have a good relationship with their next neighbours. the problems in northern ireland are colouring the whole of the rest of the relationship and thatis the rest of the relationship and that is a problem. now there are these great periods in which certain cheques have not been taking place. some of those grace periods end at the end of september so if people think the number of checks at the moment about they will be extended quite dramatically at the end of september. so again lord frost has said we should put a standstill in place, essentially extend those grace periods until we can come up with a new solution. but again the eu say this is what you have signed up to. all the details are in this agreement. so there is a fundamental difference of opinion between the uk saying it doesn't work and the eu saying it doesn't work and the eu saying we are prepare

and the eu, led by angela merkel.ink they really are problematic, and i think history will frown on the eu terribly for what's happened in the last 6-9 months, and the fact that they are standing by and seeing so few people vaccinated in the developing world. sami: maybe we will bring gloria in for a quick comment on that point. why has europe been so slow to get out vaccines to africa? we heard from the africa union's -- african union's special envoy on covid-19, saying not one dose, not one dose, he says, has left europe for africa. >> again, this is a problem of the meaning, the deep meaning of the european union. because, also in this context, some countries were more prone to allow the sending of vaccines to the african countries. other countries, in the european union, were totally against this policy. in the european union, we should decide all together a unique path what we should do in order to obtain a safe and most protected world, outside europe. and there's also another reason, a very important reason why

is there room for a authoritarian, illiberal government inside the eu? szijjarto in budapest, welcome to hardtalk. good afternoon. thank you for the invitation. it's a pleasure to have you on the show. foreign minister, the relationship between your country and the european union, the institutions of the eu, appears ever more dysfunctional. how concerned are you about that? well, what i would say is that we definitely have debates with the institutions in brussels. actually, we are under continuous attack, whatever we decide, european institutions find a way to put some pressure on us and try to blackmail us in order to change our decisions and do not take advantage of the national competencies. i think the major issue is that the european union's future is under debate now. i mean, how we can make the european union stronger in the future? and there are two major approaches in this regard — a federalistic—type of approach, which is represented by the institution themselves and which would like to build kind of a united states of europe, which we definit

the automatic response be to carry on being as close to eu regulations we can. if you believe in free trade and an economic innovation, then you can't do that. you've got to look to new markets, into new industry. and to new ways of doing things and that say well, we're doing what they do and that keeps us safe. this will take some time to change. >> so to more questions that consistencies of groups in the uk that perplexed me to this discussion. the first is the intelligentsia, academic. before he came on we talked about how historian andrew roberts and charles moore, are with you on this but aren't you kind of a loan at cambridge or at the big university? what's the breakdown of there? what's the debate been like? as a been unpleasant or difficult or illuminating? >> well, it's about 90% against me. ually quite difficult to understand. haven't given it a lot of thought as others have. it is partly it's a domestic choice. it saying we don't like the people who want brexit. we don't like boris johnson we do not like nigel the leader of the uk. therefore whatever

the eu wants to prevent goods that don't match its standards from entering the eu single market throughe uk's brexit minister, lord david frost, said it needed a huge overhaul. he argues the current situation is damaging to the uk. the protocol itself requires there to be no impact or minimised impact on the everyday lives of people of northern ireland. the fact that that is not being observed as one of the major problems with the current situation. then came this warning. put very simply we cannot go on as we are. my lords, we therefore have to consider all of our options. in particular, we have looked carefully at the safeguards provided by article 16 of the protocol. article 16 is a safeguard included in the agreement. it allows either the uk or the eu to take unilateral action, if the protocol has caused "serious economic, societal or environmental difficulties that are liable to persist". today the government held back from implementing article 16. instead, the government will publish a "command paper" laying out the government's plans. here's lord frost again. we see an opportunit

it is an answer to eu states agreeing to the 2030 climate target to at least 55%. it will be crucial that the commission looks at this package in a comprehensive way and ensures that it indeed meets the objectives. for us, those objectives. for us, those objectives will be to go beyond a reduction target of 55%. each element of the package should show clear ambition, so that together we can end up at a number that gives meaning to the number of 55, and that we go beyond, because we know it is needed. if we put all the commitments from all countries in the world together, we are not yet reaching the 1.5 celsius target that was agreed uponin celsius target that was agreed upon in paris, six years ago in the paris agreement. it will be important to see if the commission comes up with proposals that goes for the highest level of ambition. compared to other countries, these targets are tougher, bolder. will member states bulk up bolder. will member states bulk up this in terms of what it means for businesses and households? this will lead to a lot of discussions between

and eu agreed and signed the brexit withdrawal agreement today the u.k.ernment ministers have been pushing to change one of the most contentious issues, the northern ireland protocol. under the protocol a range of products, maybe food, has to be checked when they arrive from britain to make sure that they are in line with eu standards. because northern ireland has a land border with you state and republic of ireland, they want to prevent goods that don't match its standards from entering the single market through here. day the u.k. braggs administer said it needed a huge overhaul and he argues that the current situation is damaging to the u.k. >> the protocol requires there to be no impact or minimized impact on the everyday lives of people in northern ireland. the fact is that is not being observed and it is one of the major problems with the current situation. >> then came this morning. >> put simply, we cannot go on as we are. my lords we have therefore had to consider all options, particularly looking carefully at the safeguards provided by article 16

it's the eu who have said they would at work at pace to resolve these issues seven months ago. many issues for the unionist community in northern ireland and who have not yet come to agreement on a range of issues that we need to resolve for the people of northern ireland. i think it is right, therefore, that we take this opportunity to outline a way we think to move forward in a positive way that can rebuild the relationship with the eu and fundamentally resolve the core issues that are detrimentally affecting so many of his constituents and people across northern ireland. brandon lewis. sometimes the most effective committee inquiries are those where the politicians let others do most of the talking. mps on thejustice committee have been hearing from former prisoners as part of their inquiry into women in prison. one of them, lisa, explained how she'd ended up with a jail sentence. my life was in tatters. i was in a really destructive relationship. i could not stop using the substances that i was using, which i was on... i was an intravenous drug user, on heroin and crack. i
