and yet you have got philip hammond saying this.mounts of restive spirit of a public sector pgy- of restive spirit of a public sector pay. wages have been frozen in lots ofjobs, including the public sector, it is very live and it is a very saw issue with a lot of people. he seems insensitive, just at the time when you would think mr hammond would be positioning himself to be the hail fellow well met person who could be the next leader —— sore issue. there are people briefing that philip hammond —— philip may would like his wife, theresa may, to stand down. it is pretty undignified. it is, but as you say, we have this poll in the independent tomorrow which shows that the public mood has changed on public sector p5y~ mood has changed on public sector pay. people do not agree with philip hammond about this, and so this is going to be very damaging for him. and it does raise the question as to who is telling the papers this kind of thing. because it is obviously people who want to stop philip hammond becoming the sort of safe pairof han

hammond the hypocrite on the daily mirror.th renting properties and accuses the public sector are being overpaid. there is a different mood in the country. at one point everybody knew this and nobody can but the sense of economic injustice is rife and, i think, for the chancellor, if he made those remarks, they were unwise. i suppose it is not he was among fellow colleagues and i think the mirror is right to do this because i get so irritated by rich people, whoever they are, being so down on those who have so much less than them and i think it is good to be reminded that a lot of people are making decisions for us have not lived the last many of us, many people live. it shows on one of the pages, 11 downing st, the use of a beautiful mansion in the countryside... alex syriza house... this is all perfectly legitimate it is just that it is difficult for some people the stomach but we did hear the chancellor said on the andrew martin showa that they receive a premium, public sector workers. who knows whether he said it not... he

i think this is hard on philip hammond.use speech about two or three weeks ago and i came here that particular night to say i thought it was a very good speech. i thought he made it clear that we were leaving the customs union and single market but he was keen to have a transitional arrangement. it strikes me as eminently sensible. and you are pro—brexit... me as eminently sensible. and you are pro-brexit. .. i thought it me as eminently sensible. and you are pro-brexit... i thought it was eminently sensible and i couldn't see anything in the speech to object to, sol see anything in the speech to object to, so i don't see what is going on with these leave supporters. the whole thing seems to be getting out of control. that problem with that prominent brexiteers is that they are constantly on edge, they don't trust anybody, not even their own colleagues, they think this thing will be snatched from them, and they have won the battle but if they don't behave themselves, they will lose the war. david davis, who i think is doing

but philip hammond says that none. deal would be a very, very bad steel. we can hardly want that, the europeans know that we have realised no deal would be very, very bad outcome. is he right? you can argue on what the outcome could be put it is important as a negotiating tool. the pm is 100% right, that they should know we would walk away rather than accepting a deal. if you are going to walk away you do not see the consequences would be very, very bad. you don't agree with the chancellor on this? you just said he was singing from the same song sheet but you don't on this. the key on this is what is our position. no businessman would go into a deal without that... mr hammond is clearly wrong. he says are very bad outcome. we have to accept are very bad outcome. we have to a cce pt we are very bad outcome. we have to accept we have a right to walk away and no businessmen would go into deal saying that with either the outcome i would accept it. that would be crazy. and no business would be crazy. and no business would g

there has any consensus mr hammond wanted.he cabinet over the past week. —— has been a consensus. everyone agrees there will be a transition out of the eu. it is really a question of how long that lasts and what it consists of. this two—year period with mr lyons and mr hammond are talking about, seems fairly acceptable. there is still this concern from brexit supporters, to use the phrase that is in the telegraph, there is a bridge to nowhere. a transition with a finite point. we will see a lot more of this kind of stuff over the next couple of weeks as everyone tries to get their stuff out there before the prime minister in september is expected to say, this is what the transition will be. this is what brexit looks like. you say that, but on the front page of the times you have got the international trade secretary liam fox denying there has been a cabinet deal on immigration. that's the story we are running this morning as well. it does not necessarily feel that united, does it? the necessarily feel that united, does ie nece

the chancellor philip hammond has defended his position on the issue of public sector pay.d not deny that he had said in a cabinet meeting that public sector pay was too high and said that generous pensions were the reason for that. but he refused to say if he had used the word ‘overpaid'. he also criticised cabinet colleagues who're taking a harder line over brexit — for publicly briefing against him in national newspapers. with me is our political correspondent jonathan blake. there were two stories regarding philip hammond one about him and one of the issue of public sector pay. but it's been said about pay? he was quoted in the sunday times saying that public sector pay, public sector workers were overpaid when you take into account their pensions. those comments have caused afairamount of pensions. those comments have caused a fair amount of criticism, as you might expect, given the recent debate about public sector workers and how much they are paid. given the 1% pay cap put in place by the conservative government in 2013. now, he has gone some way to explaining his c

philip hammond isa actually look like. a key remainer among the cabinet, and this arrangement is too soft on the landing, if you like, into our relationship with the eu. —— too soft on the landing. we have also heard from liam fox, and michael gove also warning to this idea as the practical, pragmatic way forward. today, philip hammond made it clear that he thought a transitional deal would have to be over by 2022, when the next general election is scheduled to be. that seems to be the consensus, the compromise, emerging within the cabinet, but philip hammond has said, actually, on the day that we leave the eu, you might find that actually things look very similar. it is clear that this should be a time limited transitional period. so there is a general view that any transitional period would have to be finished by the time we get to the date set for the general election, june 20 22. it might be a shorter period, it depends on the technical requirements to put in place customs and immigration arrangements and so on, and of

the article is on the back of an interview with the french newspaper, le monde, in which hammond saysn rivals by cutting taxes and regulations. the remarks contradict what mr hammond said in an interview with a german newspaper earlier this year. the financial times reports that japan's largest bank has chosen amsterdam for its banking headquarters as a result of uncertainty over brexit. mufg currently employs more than 2,000 staff in london and a further 700 in other european cities. the guardian reports on the latest from venezuela following a so—called "sham" election. it highlights comments from the us ambassador to the united nations claiming the country is one step closer to a dictatorship. the new york times looks at putin responding to us sanctions by ordering 755 of its diplomatic staff leave america, in what the paper describes as a move right from the cold war playbook. and in thejapan times, the focus is on china us relations in an article that says chinese president xijinping is betting donald trump won't make good on his threats of a military strike against north korea.

going back to philip hammond.ths ago there was the unusual statement of written being open for business. i did not know that we shot. —— shut. some are moving headquarters. this time it is amsterdam as opposed to dublin, canary wharf, where others are going to. it is inevitable. with that you will find otherjobs going... not wholesale... how damaging is this for the city? potentially very damaging. this is the biggest industry. but they say fewer than 100 jobs potentially moving. 0ut fewer than 100 jobs potentially moving. out of 2100. yes. but if the head office move somewhere, with decisions being made there, that is where investment will be. it is a creeping erosion. deutsche bank moved a load of assets last week. 0thers moved to dublin as well. it isa 0thers moved to dublin as well. it is a slow seeping away. is hq management goes, that his decision—making not being in london. -- if. the other interesting thing is amsterdam instead of dublin. they have caps on bonuses. interesting. i don't know how they will m

that's why we know what philip hammond thinks. so it is a com pletely philip hammond thinks.nged dynamic in this government. you are right to suggest she won't recover that authority. once you've lost a kind of mandate in the way she did in that early election, you don't recoverfrom that. but i don't think there will be an early election, because the conservatives can't afford to hold one because they might lose it.|j might suggest people watching are breathing a sigh of relief! it depends on your view, obviously. let's turn our attention is outwards and talk a little bit about the middle east. coalition forces have almost recaptured the city of mosul in iraq, and in syria the defacto isis capital raqqa is surrounded, but still the jihadists fight on and the civilian toll is huge — some half a million people have been killed, and millions more left homeless and displaced. abdel bari atwan. .. your assessment of isis, its strength or otherwise, who is in charge, your take on where we are? we have been talking about mosul falling for a long time and still hasn't happened. we mu

philip hammond for some time has been pushing for the transitional arrangements oi’ been pushing for transitional arrangements or we been pushing for the transitional arrangements or we don't suddenly reach a cliff edge at the end of talks. key to this story and find this briefing is about free movement and the times suggests that previously had brexit ears and the cabinet have been won over. it is interesting the language used, that now the chancellor believes he has won them around. it indicates the briefing comes from the treasury. he talks about borders being open for two years after brexit. the guardian talks about up to four years of free movement and later downgrades to three, so irrespective of how long it ends up being, the fact that philip hammond from this perspective seems to be coming at the vector is the remainders, the soft brexit. sort of struggle with the cabinet between hard and soft brexit, is that right? i think it is quite a positive move. we never expected is going to be all hard or soft brexit. hard and soft at the same time? we talk about a garden thriving in

philip hammond has said that no deal would be a very, very bad outcome.d that no deal with the very bad outcome. you can argue at the outcome would be, but it is very important as negotiating tool. prime minister is 100% right. those we are negotiating less me to believe that we would walk away rather than accept a bad deal. if you're going to walk away, usually not say that the consequences would be very, very bad. you do not agree with them, you said that you are saying from the same song sheet. the key is what is oui’ same song sheet. the key is what is our negotiating position? you simply do not... we have a key moment, andy murray is serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, i should serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, ishould have serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, i should have said. with his partner, martina hingis, beating heather watson and her partner henry continent —— henri kontinen. martina hingis was a singles player in her time. judy murray, the, jamie murray's mum. has played such an important part in the brothers's

the chancellor, philip hammond, says there should be a transitional period of up to three years afterrexit, to avoid a so—called "cliff edge". the us senate has rejected plans to repeal president obama's flagship health care reforms, delivering a major blow to president trump. one person has been killed and several injured in a knife attack at a supermarket in hamburg. police say the most it is not clear. —— the motive is not clear. also in the next hour — we're on patrol with the royal air force. four raf typhoon jet fighters have been deployed to romania as part of a nato mission to patrol the black sea region. three new crewmembers will launch towards the international space station shortly, and we'll be live at lift—off. good afternoon, and welcome to bbc news. the bbc understands officials believe at least 60 buildings will be deemed to have failed an official fire safety test, in which insulation and cladding, of the type fitted to grenfell tower, were analysed together for the first time. so far, just nine of the buildings which failed have been identified. they're in salford i

i picked on that line at as well because just before it says that philip hammond has won the backingo heavyweight brexit campaigners. it is very much suggesting some of the opposition is coming from the foreign office. it doesn't go so far as to say that. i love the headline, election will be the second paul on the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu because i feel like i read that before the election we just hit. what we learn from that election is that every side, whether it is the conservatives of or labour, remain 01’ conservatives of or labour, remain or leave, are taking the sign that they are connected whatever it was they are connected whatever it was they wanted. it will continue on being so. the maltese prime minister is saying that from the first time he thinks brexit

the chancellor phillip hammond has defended the government's pay policy, saying public sector workers a 10% premium over the private sector, once pensions are taken into account. mr hammond would not comment on reports today that he said public workers were "overpaid", but pointed out ministers should not be discussing private cabinet meetings. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. the man of the moment, for perhaps the wrong reasons. philip hammond has, for the second time in a week, found himself defending private comments in public. the sunday times reports that during a cabinet meeting on tuesday, the chancellor used language that the paper says left colleagues thunderstruck. mr hammond reportedly said public sector workers are overpaid when you take into account pensions. would he deny that? i've told you, i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet meeting. five of your colleagues have. they shouldn't because cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. i'm the chancellor. you would expect me to pu

maybe this is his moment, but isn't he up against philip hammond who would also like a try at the joband the point is there is a stop boris campaign gathering strength because they know that if borisjohnson gets the chance to be in the last two, and is put before the party members in the country, he stands good chance of winning. there was a poll in the other papers that said the person he would most like to be the tory leader is borisjohnson because he's a name and face. the authors, and sure it they would sort of know who david davis is, they know phil hammond is spreadsheet bill, but boris is a personality. david davis is trusted in brussels, isn't he? he has done very well as brexit set so far. but he's not have to make any difficult choices, yet. anything he has impressed his colleagues by being pragmatic as well as an ardent brexitier. the suggestion is that theresa may could lead before christmas. is that the room? there we re christmas. is that the room? there were so christmas. is that the room? there we re so many christmas. is that the room? there were so many i’uitioui’s.

how much should we make of what philip hammond has said today?nives are out for the chancellor and there are a number of factors playing into this. the row over public sector pay itself. the chancellor is intent on the government holding its nerve and dealing with the country byes—mac debt, yet a handful of ministers have made clear they think the pa rty‘s have made clear they think the party's position on pay damaged them during the election. but it is decisions on what type of brexit we end up with, something that will affect generations and generations to come, that have a significant pa rt to come, that have a significant part of the briefings against the chancellor. with opposition inside the cabinet to his insistence that jobs in the economy, rather than immigration, should take priority during the brexit negotiations. added that the prime minister's own wea kness added that the prime minister's own weakness and the jostling and speculation and party leadership and you have got the key ingredients for a pretty big row. but conservative back

philip hammond has recently idea of maybe a special court.y some sort of limited role to the european court, but it all has to be thrashed out between ministers and with brussels. hardline brexiteers once believed it could all be accomplished quite easily and simply. well, they know better now. thank you, john pienaar there. a brief look at some of the day's other other news stories... three contractors working on the crossrail project — bam, ferrovial, and kier — have been fined more than £1 million over the death of a worker, and two other incidents. rene takachik died after being crushed by wet concrete in 2014, while two other men were injured in separate incidents the following year. barclays bank is setting aside a further £700 million to cover payouts for mis—sold payment protection insurance policies. it brings the total amount set aside by barclays to over £9 billion. more than £27 billion has now been repaid by the banking industry to people mis—sold the policies. a man who stalked his ex—partner, who then committed suicide, has adm

the chancellor, phillip hammond, has said there is broad agreement in cabinet that there should be aod of up to three years after britain leaves the eu — but that it should be finished before the next general election, which is scheduled for 2022. the chancellor said a failure to implement a transition deal would sow chaos for business. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. a transition period that is quite lengthy seems to be something that is in play now. that is right. phil hammond was a key remain in the cabinet, has been a long—term proponent of this idea of an interim transitional deal, a gateway to a new relationship with the eu that we are going to be negotiating. there has been some disagreement in the cabinet about how long this transitional deal should last. too, perhaps for years, but we know he levers in the cabinet are also on board with this idea in principle. today philip hamilton acknowledged this transitional period would have to come to an end by 2022, the time of the next scheduled brent general election. he not acknowledged it would be time

philip hammond said it is sometime before full migration controls be introduced. 0ur political correspondentris, essentially philip hammond saying there was a broad acceptance of free movement, liam fox is dismissing it. tell us more about the latest brexit disagreement. dismissing it. tell us more about the latest brexit disagreementm isa the latest brexit disagreementm is a good pithy way of summarising where we are with all of this because philip hammond was saying the other day that yes, there was broad agreement amongst ministers of a transitional period, a period after march 2019 when we are outside the european union retains some of the european union retains some of the things associated with membership. broadly speaking, ministers are agreed agreed about that but crucially what is included within that transitional period, exactly what it looks like is that the essence of this disagreement philip hammond emphasises a desire that goods and services can still be traded as freely as possible in that transitional period and with that comes the expectation from many in brussels that that

the chancellor, phillip hammond says there should be a transitional period of up to three years afterrt now and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. it was a rather amusing defrosting with‘s ben stokes and toby rowland jones on the second day of the third test with south africa at the oval. and in sick full control thanks to 112 from ben stokes and four wickets from tony roland—jones on his england debut. south africa ended 126-8, england debut. south africa ended 126—8, trailing by 227 runs. he may not be the captain any longer but no one can deny alistair cook's innings on di was the kind captains made of. having reached 88, this balding ended the chances of a century. but a different type of century. but a different type of century celebration, could another englishman reached three figures? then stalks tried. his half—century. it continues after lunch as toby roland—jones showed us just how co mforta ble roland—jones showed us just how comfortable he is with test cricket. things can change quickly at this level. but no matter, the man at the other end took on south africa.

the chancellor philip hammond says any transitional deal after brexit must end by the next general election. the overriding concern is we go through with this process that avoids disruptive cliff edges for business and individual citizens. the us senate has rejected plans to repeal health care reforms enacted under barack obama, delivering a major blow to president trump, who is now facing infighting at the white house as two senior aides fall out. also in this hour, the prime minister of pakistan has resigned. it follows a decision by the country's supreme court do suspend him from office after corruption allegations against his family. aid workers in greece and say they are dealing with hundreds of extremely vulnerable refugees held on the island of lesbos. bags of rubbish pile up in birmingham as rubbish collectors step up their industrial action. collection has already been disrupted for weeks. and it's only just bought it. a driver looses control of his new £200,000 ferrari. that was one hour after he picked it up that was one hour after he picked it up from the garage. good morning. i

speaking to the bbc, philip hammond explained the need for clarity, and a smooth transition process.utely clear that businesses, where they have discretion over investments and can hold off, are doing so and you can understand why — they are waiting for more clarity about what the future relationship with europe will look like and the way to get the economy moving and restore business confidence and then consumer confidence and then consumer confidence is to give as much clarity as possible as early as possible which is why i have been talking a busy all or five weeks of the importance of a transitional arrangement. in other news about 4 out of io british firms say brexit has in a report on cyber crime, lloyds estimated that in the most likely scenario, a malicious hack would take down a cloud service provider, with estimated losses of $53 billion dollars. that's roughly the same cost as superstorm sandy, the hurricane that hit the east cost of the united states in 2012. but that's just the average estimate. lloyd's believes that because of the uncertainty around calculating cyber lo

it's philip hammond saying that they cabinet metjoe murphy meeting on sector are overpaid.earn 10% more than private sector workers taking into account pensions. what is really giving us the headlines for that is on several occasions he apparently used the word overpaid, and of course at the moment, you know, after the election, with a mood in the country as it is, that is such a strange thing to say. teachers are doing that school funding should be higher and teachers salary should be higher and teachers salary should be higher and we have seen the recruitment drives and schools, and it does not ca ptu re drives and schools, and it does not capture the mood of the nation. i guess it is true that if you look at pensions, public sector pensions are generous. you can make this argument about the 10% differential, but against that, public sector workers have actually seen their income fall in real terms over the past seven yea rs, in real terms over the past seven years, and it just in real terms over the past seven years, and itjust seems to me an extraordinary miscalculation

the chancellor, philip hammond, has said cabinet colleagues who have been briefing the media againstuld instead focus on thejob in hand. after newspaper reports about discussions around the cabinet table, he said noise was being generated by people opposed to his focus on jobs and the economy during brexit. he also addressed claims he'd described public sector workers as "overpaid". here's our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. he's the man of the moment, though not for the reasons he'd like. for the second time this week, the chancellor has found himself defending private comments in public. this time accused of saying public sector workers are overpaid. something he did not deny. i have told you, i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet... five of your colleagues have. they shouldn't have done frankly because cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. i am the chancellor. you would expect me to put any discussion about public sector pay in the context of the fiscal and economic situation that we face. amo

the chancellor, philip hammond, made his intervention in a speech to city and business leaders.er oi’ less secure. they did vote to leave the eu. and we will leave the eu. but it must be done in a way that works for britain. i am confident we can do a brexit deal that puts jobs and prosperity first, that keeps our markets for goods and services and capital open, that achieves early agreement on transitional arrangements, to avoid unnecessary disruption and dangerous cliff edges. what really struck me about philip hammond's speech at the mansion house was the sharp change in tone. he talked aboutjobs and prosperity, in contrast to theresa may before the general election. she was much more focused on immigration and on sovereignty. the message from the public before and during the referendum campaign was clear — brexit must mean control of the number of people who come to britain from europe and that is what we will deliver. next—door neighbours, but different approaches. mrs may wants to cut immigration to the tens of thousands. the chancellor is keener to promote immigration as

philip hammond has floated the idea of a possible new court.ent say britain might agree to a limited role to the court of european justice in the future, but you will not see ministers conceding that point now. when it comes to eu trade, beyond trade outside the eu, they say there could be no agreement until after brexit and any transition. ministers want to get on with it. whether you love brexit or not, absolutely no one believes it will be easy. in a major blow to president trump, the us senate has for a third time rejected his attempts to overturn his predecessor's healthcare reforms known as obamaca re. in a dramatic move, three republicans defied their party to vote against the changes with a decisive vote cast by the veteran senatorjohn mccain, who broke off from brain cancer treatment to attend the session. here's our north america editorjon sopel. the ayes are a9, the noes are 51. the motion is not agreed to. the history books will record that before 2am this morning, donald trump's promise to repeal and replace obamacare that he said

philip hammond has renewed power within the cabinet.hether he has been flexing his muscles, you might assume, by making these comments. earlier he said to these comments. earlier he said to the labour mp these comments. earlier he said to the labourmp in these comments. earlier he said to the labour mp in the chamber accusing her of the hysterical when she asked a question about how businesses in ireland fare after brea kfast. businesses in ireland fare after breakfast. he said he would urge her not to be in hysterical. he got into trouble for that. another comedy has made. i would suggest there is no doubt he did make it. absolutely no doubt. his track record will not helping. a picture of a female train driver called pauline, quite rightly angry on page four. theresa may had angry on page four. theresa may had a month to lick their wounds. it is her getting her strength back. the daily mail has a timely warning before the main summer holidays starting. £2200 summer car hire rip—off. starting. £2200 summer car hire rip-off. large bills

philip hammond says we won't become a tax haven after brexit. a warning, because there has been talk of special deals. the chancellor is selling out his view of what he think the uk's relationship should be with you to make the eu. but he is also trying to reassure the you to make you. —— should be with the eu. —— but he is still tried to reassure the eu. it is interesting that he said he would expect the country to remain with a social, economic, and cultural model thatis social, economic, and cultural model that is recognisably european. that seems not to chime with what is being said by liam fox, who is in america meeting his equivalent in the us government, and talking up the us government, and talking up the idea of a quick and easy trade deal with the us that would change things like animal welfare standards. cabinet is split. what cani standards. cabinet is split. what can i tell you? it was a big split down the middle of the cabinet. you people ever chancellor and the home secretary who are looking to take a transitional approach, and th

even last week philip hammond was said to be angry that his budget in the 0rton was being anticipatedere being given —— his budget in the autumn. there is quite a lot of detail speculation about what tax cuts he may be forced into reversing, ones that have been promised but not put into effect, to find extra money to pay public sector workers. it would get him out ofa sector workers. it would get him out of a hole because he does not want to put taxes up, he does not want to borrow, he does not want to do that. this would get him out of a hole, maybe he is pushing the story!|j think maybe he is pushing the story!” think this story is so complicated already, let's not introduce any more! they have pledged to reduce corporation tax even further, from i9%, to corporation tax even further, from 19%, to i7% corporation tax even further, from i9%, to i7% and a suggestion here that if they did not do that it is quite a lot of extra money for the public sector workers. there is a lot of anger, the cap on public sector workers when we are forced to congratulate them every couple of weeks when

mr hammond said the transition period would end by the next election in 2022.may well find, this transitional period is kicking mccann down the road and not solving the problem. we have no idea what trade relationship will exist at the end of it. if it involves leaving the single market, all the problems associated with that will exert themselves, it will only be three years on. with me is robert 0ulds director of the bruges group — a pro—brexit think thank. and also professor anand menon, director of the uk in a changing europejoins us live from our 0xford studio. welcome to you both. in response to what we heard vince cable c, that the chancellor knows how damaging it will all be, how concerned are you about this potential three—year transition period? there needs to be a transition in terms of a temporary agreement in the clearing customs, perhaps in exchange for a regulatory convergence. transition would allow freedom of movement for three years beyond exit from the european union which does not seem to be what we voted for. the government's former position

the telegraph claims the chancellor philip hammond is at odds with other senior ministers over the fundingpublic services. the metro says nurses are quitting the nhs in their thousands, amid increasing workloads and plunging morale. the guardian claims the uk has ditched its hope of securing a "cake and eat it" brexit deal, and also shows andy murray practising ahead of beginning the defence of his wimbledon title tomorrow. the mail says young drivers are being tempted into high levels of debt by car dealers offering them new vehicles for no money upfront. and the mirror says 69 refugees have drowned this year while trying to reach spain from africa. let's have a look through those papers. starting with the guardian, the uk ditches its cake and eat it brexit stands. going on about brexit and cake, and you despair sometimes as to how this will all turn out but according to the guardian government insiders are reporting a dramatic change of mood. the idea of cake and eat it is controlling your own borders and the sort of stuff and having access to the single market. and the suggestion is you
