first of all, the eu itself is a very tough negotiator.y're pressing for early agreement on all kinds of things. on defence and security. and then we have this really quite hysterical "we've got to go further, faster and rejoin the customs union," and the isolationist camp, who want to maintain that brexit was a good idea. who are accusing keir starmer of backsliding on brexit or even wanting to rejoin the eu. so it's very difficult for starmer to make but i think, really, the fact that the meeting that the uk is serious about working sides to pool resources, to pool aid to ukraine, to try and maximise the bang is really running out of money and weapons. and if we can support ukraine substantively, parents and teachers in england are being asked by the schools inspector ofsted for their views on new—style reports. the changes follow the scrapping of one or two—word overalljudgments in september — following the suicide of the primary headteacher ruth perry. how well you achieve. once a headteacher, now he visits schools. special educational

and again, the eu isn't the same eu from 20 or 30 years ago.orming economies across the globe. i talked about germany. you can say the same thing about france. italy. it makes no sense for us to build closer ties when the majority of this country don't want it. it doesn't make economic sense. we talk about customs union and free these free single markets, free these free single markets, free trade deals. and this doesn't always work. we've seen so many examples where a lot of these free trade deals, they tend to benefit one bloc more than the other. we can see that in terms of tax revenues, we don't always get the tax revenues. it creates unfair working conditions. there's so much more to than just agreeing a deal with the european union. and i think what we should be doing when we're talking about energy and defence is the first, most important thing is we need to be energy independent. it's a lot easier for big countries like america to share land size, but if we're going to be able to disagree with what's going on in russia, ukraine, whateve

goods. the eu was strong enough to react to any us trade levies, although the goal he said should beonight to begin talks on a reset with the eu. the headquarters of the european union, with america uppermost in mind, too. you can imagine how talk of tariffs has gone down here. i think that you have to do everything to avoid this totally unnecessary and stupid tariff wars or trade wars. if the united states, the us starts the trade war, the one laughing on the side is china. president trump had landed in washington, describing the eu as an "atrocity" and saying it would face taxes they take almost nothing. and we take everything - from them — millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products. _ the uk is out oiline e but the european union is - an atrocity, what they've done. we're getting along very well. china, mexico and canada having them imposed so far. booing in toronto as the american national anthem plays. back in brussels, a city of flags and international politics, you might ask why all of this matters nato defence alliance is based here as well. early days, an

. —— agreement between the eu. —— two.r starmer is in brussels we'll bring you all the winners — and best red carpet looks — home album of the year. sparked by donald trump, which led to stock markets it started with an announcement of tariffs on goods imported to the us from canada, mexico and china — in a bid to encourage americans to buy items made he has been a consistent critic over decades of america's these are the latest goods deficit numbers — have a long—standing imbalance — look at the bars in red here "ripping off" america. now, the us also has a large deficit with the eu, think of german car exports. in fact, a small surplus for the us. about services? and look — that is true of almost all these jurisdictions. of the world, though it doesn't make up for the goods. now, if we take seriously this chart as the main reason for the trump tariffs, the answer to this problem many of these countries are coming up with is to persuade like gas and oil, or arms. reason for all this — simply to raise money for his governm

so in bald economic terms, the eu is more important.s real dangers to german cars, italian cars and so on, aren't there? yeah, so cars, chemicals, beer, wine, champagne and handbags, all of this stuff they sell to the us, and it is an incredibly important market to them, i think, i mean, they are of the view that they are actually in, you know, as an entire group, a biggertrading bloc than the united states of america. so to the extent that tariffs would be imposed, again, i think it's always very transactional and donald trump recently said something he didn't say during the election, which is that, look, there may be some short—term pain for us consumers in higher prices, but it's a price worth paying. will there be a trade war, or will we see people stepping back from that? my guess is that the general economic view that this will push prices up and in the long term mean — and this is fundamental — mean that the federal reserve is slower to cut interest rates than it would otherwise have been, that is a very powerful logic which woul

the anger you heard there was prompted by president trump describing the eu as an atrocity and sayingt would face taxes on its imports into america. they don't take our cars, baskinfirussels it can give economies the shivers. of rolling up in brussels these days after brexit, on the uk that dominated. is open and strong trading relations, with president trump. to water down your reset with the european union both of these relations are very important to us. for many, many decades now. and tonight the prime minister swapped nato when it comes to trade and security. i'll be discussing this evening on questions on energy and i believe it is in the eu's interest as well. but how much of this is possible, desirable, while maintaining a decent relationship with america? this is bbc news. the administration reportedly intends to merge the us agency for international development — with the us state department, making secretary of state marco rubio its administrator. they have also been locked out of their email accounts. control of the us agency under the remit of the state department. to 130

just in the last couple of minutes, he's been in the oval office saying, "hello, eu, we're coming forto pay the price on this one. yes, but i do think, you know, the one thing we've learned is that you can't... there's going to be some of these back channel and so, you know, tomorrow will be a big reveal, people, for the countries involved, and their economies and our economy. but i think we still don't entirely know what exactly of classic donald trump. and then, that's kind of like his classic negotiating so, like courtney said, i don't think we know having that message out there, in his eyes is, you know, perhaps giving him leverage. i also think — i mean, if this does happen tomorrow, i think that'll be one of the first major tests let's say, if prices of certain goods goes up — they didn't really offer much in terms of answers, people and businesses. so i think if it happens, i think that'll be the first tit—for—tat, particularly with the eu, where it and the eu responded. this week of howard lutnick, the commerce secretary pick, trump doesn't favour singular—product tariffs, tha
