theresa may and eu commission presidentjean—claude juncker agreed to "accelerate" brexit negotiationsthe government's position was chaotic. let me just quote again from the last session of foreign office questions, when the foreign secretary told the house, "there is no plan for no deal." five days ago, he said that, "we must make the right preparations for a no—deal scenario." we know that the cabinet cannot stop fighting about the brexit that they want, but it would be a start if ourflip—flopping foreign secretary could stop fighting with himself. it is up to our friends and partners in the eu to look seriously at the offer we are making, particularly on citizens, and to make progress. everybody wants to make progress, and everybody wants to give the 3.2 million eu citizens in this country the maximum possible reassurance and security. that can only happen once our friends and partners decide to get serious in these negotiations. well, a short time later the brexit secretary, david davis, came to the commons to update mps. he too was pressed over what the government wanted. the secr

i hope the eu commission listens very carefully to him but he makes a very serious point that when wet back injuly, we made it clear that we will honour our obligations, both legal and moral to the european union, but also that that is reciprocal. there are obligations from the eu to us, and that does include the valuation of assets. for labour, lady hayter was worried about how long the talks process was taking. the british chamber of commerce says further delay in opening trade talks is a lose—lose scenario, so how many more warnings, dire warnings about what this will do to the economy and the jobs do the government need until they start negotiating seriously? and of course as we move to the stage of wanting to have negotiations about our future partnership, there will be political decisions to be made about that. i and my colleagues have been engaging across europe in setting out the reasons why we think it's right for the economy of all countries of europe that we move to that negotiation swiftly. lady anelay. you're watching thursday in parliament with me, alicia mccarthy. don't

and the eu commission president, jean—claude juncker, has also separately talked about the possibilityr implementation period everyone has pencilled in? you said yes, it could be three years. but i understand from mr barnier‘s people that he was not making a definitive statement that it would take three years to do a trade deal, i think what he thinks is that anything is possible and it will depend on the negotiations of phase one, the divorce issues, how they go, how negotiations on the trade deal go, how national parliaments will be involved in the final trade deal, how that goes. but it has got people saying, hang on, is michel barnier‘s timetable for all of this years longer than the uk government‘s timetable, because there dream scenario is that you get there dream scenario is that you get the divorce bill agreed and the future trade relationship agreed all within two years. in other word, by brexit day 2019. in the past half hour the irish prime minister has held talks with the french president in paris, including brexit. the french president said it was up to the uk to tackle is

and least act the planes to monarch airlines is now something i'm going to be referring to the eu commission is an anti-dumping case there. there were aircraft sold and leased back through monarch, sold at less than top price in the european market. we are absolutely coming from bowing and all of the advertisements, all of the covers in london they have put out are not persuading anybody. francine: is there a concern, or do you think that since we are negotiating brexit the u.k. needs to be seen as business friendly? gets france --k. that it's not business friendly so that other investments don't come to the country? is a mechanism for resolving any question of subsidy, and it is called the world trade organization. what they are trying to do is crush a competitor. they know it, people in america know it. they are trying to crush it because they have superior technology. it is unique and that is why c-seriescraft, the aircraft are outperforming all other aircraft. knowing doesn't even make one in this sector. when the international trade commission looks at this in the states, they will look

eu—india summit. european commission president jean—claude juncker and european council chief donald tusk are there to everything from security to migration and climate change. but they will also be trying to revive talks on a free trade deal, which started a decade ago but have made little progress. the european union is india's biggest trading partner. the two sides traded over 90 billion dollars‘ worth of goods last year. including the service sector it's a £120 billion a year relationship. but there are some big issues. india protects its local industries with import taxes or tariffs on foreign goods. the eu would like to see those slashed, particularly on cars, as well as wines and spirits. for india the big priority is visas. it wants immigration rules relaxed, making it easierfor indian professionals to work in europe. but the eu says visas are question for national governments, not something it can regulate. are we expecting any major announcements today? absolutely, first let me tell you, the visitor the eu delegation has started on a very high symbolic note, they have gone to the site of the

for the rest of the eu, member states not mr barnier and the commission, in particular, the member states, that isn't good enough. from their perspective, if the british don't pay this and specify it, they'll lose out. that's the deadlock that needs to be broken. if the right form of words can be found to do that, people don't think it is impossible but there needs to be movement, it can be resolved relatively quickly. right at the end of the news conference, after talking about disturbing dead locks, mr barnier said if we can move on, there is political will, we can reach some agreement in december about moving on to talk about trade. but, that deadlock does need to be broken. it remains a real one. what are we expecting to happen then next week when eu leaders meet, of course? well, you can never be quite certain what happens when they all get together in one room. but i think what is being seen as now, next week's summit, a stepping stone towards that next summit in december. one interesting thing, a lot of people on the british side have been hoping perhaps they could persuade the eu
