tom, take us through what has upset jacob rees—mogg? through what has upset jacob rees-mogg? it's all about what is in this document. this was published by the european council after that summit that theresa may attended earlier in the week. now, i'm sure you will remember back in september at a speech in florence, theresa may committed the government to trying to get a transition deal for about two years and essentially, what this does is lay out what the eu thinks that transition period involves. in essence, what they are saying is that the uk will have to continue to accept eu laws, but also to a cce pt continue to accept eu laws, but also to accept any changes or new laws which were introduced during that period. 0n which were introduced during that period. on top of that, they'll have to carry on with things like free movement and carry on accepting the judgments of the european courts of justice. but it's that detail around having to accept changes to laws which is really getting jacob rees—mogg worried. which is really getting jac

and you saw with the intervention ofjacob but step back and you saw with the intervention of jacob rees—mogg saw with the intervention ofjacob rees—mogg, the potential it has to be unsatisfying to anyone regardless of your views. you have people like nigel farage saying, and you might imagine there could not be a situation where he would say this, that it is worse than being a member of the european union! and his argument, which has a logic, from his perspective, the downsides of membership remain, the hymn, being in the single market and free movement, and you are no longer around the table to have an argument on how those policies work. we were talking about this a few years ago when we speculated on what would happen after a referendum and i remember going to norway and meeting the foreign minister, who was telling me we want this relation with you, we have opted out of bits we don't like but we have to accept all the other rules and all decisions made and we call it fax diplomacy. is that what jacob rees—mogg implies, that we will be in that situation at least in the transition period?

jacob rees—mogg talking about the transition period.tion, the idea of a transition period from implementation period, it uses a sensor pragmatism. reassurance. whatever your views around brexit, the transition to where we are going to be will be a nice smooth incline or decline. step back from that a little bit, you saw with the intervention of jacob rees—mogg, the potential it has to be utterly unsatisfying to anybody, regardless of your views. people like nigel farage in the former ukip leader, you cannot imagine a situation that he would after this, but it is worse than being a member of the european union. the logic is, oi’ of the european union. the logic is, or the downsides of eu membership remain, being in the single market, the customs union, freedom of movement, but you no longer have an argument about how these policies work. this is something we were talking about when we were speculating about what would happen after the referendum. i went to norway meeting the norwegian foreign minister, telling me we still want to have th

first of all, what exactly is bugging jacob rees—mogg? exactly is bugging jacob rees-mogg? it's all about this document. this was published after the european council last that when meeting last week, after which theresa may agreed to move the trade aspect of the brexit talks. you'll remember in september, she talked about britain negotiating a transition period of two years, essentially, this document is the european union's view of what's that transition period looks like and in essence, what it is is that britain remains subject to eu law, even if that changes, to what are known as the four pillars of the european union which include, of course, free movement, and the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. and essentially, or that together, the european court ofjustice. and essentially, orthat together, has rather annoyed jacob rees—mogg. —— all of that together. the prime minister has consistently said that she is in favour of an implementation which means we leave in march 2019 and that the consequences of leaving are implement

we're joined by the conservative mps jacob rees—mogg and ken clarke. jacob, good evening. applause in the eu. will you be applauding her tonight? i am always applauding her, she is an excellent prime minister giving clear leadership of brexit. are you happy that you are going to be in the eu with all of its structures and constraints and its laws, until 2021? as i understand it, that is a position set out by the european union and it is not the law, this is the beginning of the negotiations, the eu said its intention is during the transition period we will be bound by the single market and the european court but the british government has not accepted that and it would be very unwise to. it sounded like theresa may had accepted that, all suggesting this is still up for grabs? i have got here the statement issued by the european union and this was issued by the 27 member states, it was not agreed by the british government. it would be ridiculous. you are suggesting... coming away from brussels last night, it was clear that theresa may, not you, theresa may thinks that in th

maybe jacob rees mogg should have a word.aybe we could do what those football players were doing in the us in protest. we could have something equivalent when they play the ode to joy- equivalent when they play the ode to joy. this is something sport has not come to grips with properly. we know there is doping. sport is always trying to say we are on the moral high ground, andjet trying to say we are on the moral high ground, and jet they don't take the decision. welcome as it is, this isa the decision. welcome as it is, this is a late decision. you would have had a total ban, would you?|j is a late decision. you would have had a total ban, would you? i would have had a total ban. but isn't it ha rd have had a total ban. but isn't it hard for the athletes... this is state—sponsored doping. that means the state is helping you. you have to bear responsibility. the ioc is also considering that these are excellent athletes, and if you want to have a meaningful olympic games and you have athletes who can prove they have done nothi

it is essentially all of that together, which has rather annoyed jacob rees—mogg. that together, whiche minister has consistently said that she is in favour of an implementation, which means that we are leaving march 2019 and the consequences of are leaving march 2019 and the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the eu for two years from 2019-21, colony of the eu for two years from 2019—21, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british people, parliament or government. that is not leaving the european union, that is being a vassal state of the european union andl vassal state of the european union and i would be very surprised if that were government policy. presumably the government hasn't taken its presumably the government hasn't ta ken its policy presumably the government hasn't taken its policy to be a vassal state of the eu but what has been the response? it's a fairly direct shot across the bow is? initially, soft brexiteers, not necessarily inside government, would make the point that trade discussions may be started straigh

one of those signatories was the conservative mp jacob rees—mogg. show that paying the divorce bill reduces the uk's hand in negotiations. it's very important that we don't hand over a great deal of money, unless we have an agreement. the risk is, that we pay the money from the day we leave, and that reduces our negotiating clout to get the trade deal finalised, if it hasn't been done before the 29th of march 2019, and that seems an obvious point. jacob rees—mogg. a donald trump has denied asking the head of the fbi, james comey, to drop an investigation into his former national security advisor, michael flynn, after he was sacked for lying about his russia connections. in a tweet, mr trump said the allegation was just more fake news covering another comey lie. mr trump was referring to a memo written by mr comey — and presented to a congressional investigation — saying that in february, the president had asked him to ‘go easy‘ on mr flynn. wide and short on and said he drafted the treat, which he said was a mistake —— tweet. with me now is our wash

jacob rees—mogg said he would be very surprised if such transition arrangements were agreed to by theis in favour of an implementation, which means that we are leaving in march 2019 and the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the eu for two years from 2019—21, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british people, parliament or government. that is not leaving the european union, that is being a vassal state of the european union, and i would be very surprised if that were government policy. the chancellor, phillip hammond, rejected accusations that he was appeasing brussels. speaking while in china on a trade mission, he said it was important that any deal maintained the status quo. we will no longer be members of the european union. we will not technically or legally be in the customs union or in the single market. but we are committed, as a result of the agreement that we made this week, to creating an environment which will effectively replicate the current status quo so that businesses can carry on trading with their commercial

now he's talking about a vassal state, jacob rees—mogg use that phrase 2a hours before.free trade deals, whether we can get one. to what extent is this choreographed? one. to what extent is this choreographed ? the anger one. to what extent is this choreographed? the anger barely suppressed? i don't know whether it is choreographed between boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg, they come from a similar standpoint when it comes to brexit. the notion of a vassal state. somebody closely aligned, but purely subservient to the european union, without getting anything in return, quite an emotive phrase to use. maybe theresa may is letting people have their say, yeah their differences before they have to knuckle down and actually get an agreement between themselves. potentially risky strategy. that may well be the case. perhaps, just such a big job, such well be the case. perhaps, just such a bigjob, such a big moment, she has had to put it off until now grasping the nettle, like the job you put off until the last minute before anything shuts down before christmas. you cannot put i

let's begin with these objections from jacob rees—mogg, what is it he is unhappy about?about this document, guidance which was published after the european council meeting that theresa may was out earlier this week. you remember in september, theresa may meadow landmark speech in florence when she said that she was committed your transition period of about iqs. this guidance says that the eu thinks that, in essence, during that period, the uk will have to abide by all of the european union's laws, evenif all of the european union's laws, even if those laws change, and it will have to acceptjudgments made by the european court ofjustice. and all that is drawing objection from brexiteerjacob rees—mogg. the prime minister has consistently said that she is in favour of an implementation which means we leave in march 2019 and that the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the european union for two years from 2019 to 2021, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british people, parliament or government. that is not leaving th

jacob rees—mogg said he would be very surprised if such transition arrangements were agreed to by then, which means that we are leaving march 2019 and the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the eu for two years from 2019—21, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british people, parliament or government. that is not leaving the european union, that is being a vassal state of the european union and i would be very surprised if that were government policy. presumably the government hasn‘t taken its policy to be a vassal earlier, the bbc‘s china correspondent, robin brant, was asked to explain why phillip hammond was bringing david cameron back into the political fold. we are committed as a result of the agreement we have made this week to creating an environment which will effectively replicate the current status quo. so that businesses can carry on trading with their commercial partners across the european union, as they do now, orders will operate as they do now, and financial services, businesses, will be able to carry on conduct

jacob rees—mogg. andrew marr show that paying the divorce bill reduces the uk's hand in negotiations. it's very important that we don't hand over a great deal of money, unless we have an agreement. the risk is, that we pay the money from the day we leave, and that reduces our negotiating clout, to get the trade dealfinalised, if it hasn't been done before the 29th of march 2019, and that seems an obvious point. jacob rees—mogg. children will be able to get access to mental health support at schools or colleges in england under plans announced by the government. campaigners say the measures are welcome, but long overdue. tom burridge reports. i didn't have any therapy... one young person's story of suffering from an eating disorder and depression for five years. she waited two years before she got help. ifeel i have not been properly treated for the mental side. they put me in hospital when my physical side is bad and don't treat anything else, and then they wonder why it keeps happening and i have to

jacob rees—mogg, thank you very much for joining jacob rees—mogg, thank you very much forjoining us. e that announcement recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel, overturning decades of us policy and breaking international agreement on this issue, as james robbins was pointing out to us earlier on. officials in the white house so that he is prepared to secure a two state solution if palestinians and israelis agree to that. speaking earlier at a news conference, king abdullah ofjordan said that this underscore the urgent need for a middle east peace settlement. palestine continues to be the region of central issue, there is no alternative to the two state solution and jerusalem is key to any peace agreement, and is key to any peace agreement, and is key to the stability of the entire region. i did emphasise to the us president yesterday our concerns on the decision to move the us embassy tojerusalem. therefore, it is imperative now to work fast, to reach a final status solution and a peace agreement between palestinians and israelis. that news conference took place just a short w

jacob rees—mogg.w that paying the divorce bill reduces the uk's hand in negotiations. it's very important that we don't hand over a great deal of money, unless we have an agreement. the risk is, that we pay the money from the day we leave, and that reduces our negotiating clout to get the trade deal finalised, if it hasn't been done before the 29th of march 2019, and that seems an obvious point. jacob rees—mogg. the irish foreign minister says his government cannot and will not allow the re—emergence of a hard border with ireland. simon coveney warned the brexit talks cannot move onto phase two without having some credible answers on the border issue. it comes amid reports that the irish cabinet are to hold an emergency meeting ahead of tomorrow's talks between theresa may and jean claude—juncker. earlier i spoke with our correspondent louise cullen in belfast. she explained what the irish government is hoping for. well, annita, simon coveney, the minister for foreign affairs, and the recently appoint

but it's that detail around having to accept changes to laws which is really getting jacob rees—moggaid that she is in favour of an implementation which means we leave in march 2019 and that the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the european union for two years from 2019—2021, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british people, parliament or government. that is not leaving the european union, that is being a vassal state of the european union and i would be very surprised if that were government policy. does he have support for his view? 0n the broad issue of a transition period, there is generally consensus within the conservative party. after the florence speech, the idea of a couple of years of transition was generally accepted and it was mostly for the reason that although trade talks are going to start now, formal trade negotiations can't begin until after britain has left the european union and so it seems that across—the—board the view has been taken that some sort of transition period which gives continuity for busine

it's touching on some of the reaction, like jacob rees—mogg.nservatives are meant to stand for the union. it would be bizarre if they had northern ireland staying in the single market and the customs union in all but name and act like it still is. many other backbenchers would feel the same. it is seemingly problematic, dangerous and risky. what if northern ireland wants to become different from the republic of ireland. when you have scotland trying to claim its own right is the dispensation and the snowball effect goes on. we've already seen scotland and wales saying if ireland can get and wales saying if ireland can get a special deal maybe we can to. the other thing to highlight in the times is i think they've got the best dab at an explanation of what actually happened. ms foster had been told broadly what the document would say but not the specific wording. i think that's probably the most insightful regulatory alignment which doesn't make it into the headlines as a sound bite. that was the phrase that really angered the dup. and it didn't

abuse of the english language, of the political and which which comes up, as you say, we have the jacob rees—moggof the eu for two years. colony! on, get over yourself. equally, borisjohnson says philip hammond, this is a quote, "we can have a very original economy". i hope it isn't too original in boris‘ terms, because he is no economist. this is so strange. just to draw that together, he is obviously cooking up an arrangement with philip hammond. let's do this together, and it is an interesting duopoly, it is a meeting of opposites. yes, as far apart as they could possibly be. and temperamentally. philip hammond is a tremendous man of details. nobody has ever seriously accused maurice johnson of being that. speaking very briefly about the tone of the debate, which is invoked by boris johnson, he has apparently rounded oi'i johnson, he has apparently rounded on hardcore eurosceptics who called for the deselection of 11 conservative mps to help defeat the government last week. the famous rebels. there have been death threats. he says this is absolutely obscene and i think this is very important,

boris, philip hammond, not michael gove, i may say, jacob rees—mogg, who has come up with a hysterical those of a less than but more sceptical persuasion —— less than passionate but more sceptical. she knows what's happening, but what's interesting is the brief alignment of those two stars, philip hammond borisjohnson, about the approach to a trade deal. yes, they are going to talk about the trade deal. butjust think how long it to add to establish the canadian trade deal. this is immensely complex. if you apply to bea immensely complex. if you apply to be a new member, not that anybody is going to do that in the short—term, but in the balkans we may find somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever to join, somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever tojoin, the somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever to join, the document somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever tojoin, the document for joining is huge. it's millions and millions of words. and equally, and doing it is going to prove very, very difficult. i think that's what we're to hear about. sorry to break the turkey early,

there were some good quotes from jacob rees—mogg saying he was worried on monday, meltdown monday whennd then a leak and then anger and recrimination and then chaos and farce and he said he was worried about timmis a's redlines so he got some paint out —— theresa may's red lines. she does not just have problems theresa may's red lines. she does notjust have problems with the irish and the dup who took 2a hours to ta ke irish and the dup who took 2a hours to take a call from the prime minister. she has got the eu a p pa re ntly minister. she has got the eu apparently bewildered over this and real problems, mutterings from the cabinet, but city is trying to stiffen her spine and the other group who have come out tonight, 20 mps saying don't walk away without a deal —— brexiteers trying. this is all tightrope stuff. the front page of the times as philip hammond's comments that britain could be paying £40 billion even if the trade talks fail, and you get the inside page and his colleague, david davis, not looking too happy. no! the picture tells a thousand words as they say also to hark ba

jacob rees—mogg made the comments after eu leaders yesterday agreed to move to the next phase of brexite new year. they suggested the uk would need to shadow single market regulations and remain under the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice during any transition phase. a short time ago i spoke with our political correspondent tom barton who explained mr rees—mogg's objections. you will remember that back in september, in her florence speech, theresa may talked about britain negotiating a transition period of two years. in this document is the european union's view of what that transition period looks like and in essence what it is is that britain remains subject to eu law even if that changes to what are known as the four pillars of the eu, which includes free movement. the prime minister has consistently said that she is in favour of an implementation, which means that we are leaving march 2019 and the consequences of leaving are implemented. but we cannot be a colony of the eu for two years from 2019—21, accepting new laws that are made without any say—so of the british peopl

jacob rees mogg made the comments after eu leaders yesterday agreed to move to the next phase of brexitns in the new year. they also suggested the uk would continue to participate in the single market and remain under thejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice during any transition phase. the date when the uk leaves the eu, march 29th 2019, is now likely not to be set in law. let's speak to our political correspondent, tom barton. brexit in a bid. first of all, this transition row, where does it spring from? and this is about what is inside this document, the guidelines published after the european council meeting that theresa may was that this week. during her florence speech, the prime minister's speech in september, she said that the uk was committed to a transition period after the date of brexit of about two years. these guidelines laid for the eu thinks that transition period means and they say in essence, during that period, the uk will remain having to accept european laws, but will not have a vote on them, and will continue to have to acceptjudgments of them, and will cont

border, in the end, that is what the europeans expects quite how long do you think people might jacob rees—mogg think nigel farage was right, i don‘t inspect them to cause them trouble. there will be people on the fringes who might. but anna soubry and nicky morgan are fully supporting the prime minister. most of the brexiteers have been doing that. it is a triumph. let‘s say, stephanie, we are coming to phase two, it will start in the new year, and junker... it‘s going to get very tough against. it will be messy, there will be now a lot of different fronts, because there will be national member states‘ interest coming in, there‘s the european parliament now gearing up, there‘s a lot of different interests. let‘s talk on this very subject. one key thing was in this phase one, what became very clear, you know, it was one for all and all for one. the 20 27 states together didn‘t flinch and they were —— the 27 stayed together, didn‘t flinch and they were more powerful for it. so what the 27 states. but when it comes to trade, the car industry and everything else, how much do you think the 27 will

a leading supporter of brexit — jacob rees—mogg — has said that the uk cannot become a "colony" of the the expected two—year—transition period after britain's withdrawal in march 2019. police in canada say they're treating the deaths of the billionaire businessman barry sherman, and his wife, as "suspicious". thousand of homes in tewkesbury, in gloucesetershire, have been left without water for a second day, following a burst water main. severn trent water says work to repair the broken pipe is proving "extremely difficult". time to cross to the bbc sport centre now for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday with me hugh woozencroft and lizzie greenwood—hughes. the headlines this evening: australia bats england out the ashes... steve smith scores a double hundred as the host make the england's bowlers toil. can manchester city make it 16 wins on the trott in the premier league? ? we'll you in on another busy day of football action. all of the stories coming up. and premiership title—holders exeter are dealt a blow to their hopes of a quarterfinal spot in the european rugby champions

william jacob rees mogg? read lines will make it much more difficult. that works for all of the uk. we can't have one pa rt of for all of the uk. we can't have one part of the uk being sliced off from the rest of us. it must work for all of us and all 27 other countries. keep talking, and give the prime minister the flexibility she needs to make sure these negotiations work. you have been in the european parliament and seen how these negotiations have happened in the past. they tend to go to the wire, don't be? where hearing there is now a deadline of sunday. is that realistic, or could the commission be more flexible? any decision they wa nt be more flexible? any decision they want to get through the 27 other heads of state next week will clearly need to be put to them in advance of next week. but we are still a year and a bit away, march, 2019, before the final exit date as set down by the article 50 letter. so let's keep talking. you would be worried if the trade talks were put off tee i would really like to start those trade talks as soon as possibl

jacob rees—mogg, leading brexiteer on the tory backbenches, wondering if she needed some more red paintaid she did intend to speak to mr trump about the status ofjerusalem, which she says should be determined as part of a settlement between israel and the palestinians. brexit also featuring earlier on in the house of commons. more now on the government admitting it hasn't carried out so—called impact assessments of how leaving the eu might affect the british economy. appearing before the brexit committee this morning, david davis claimed it would be hard to predict the economic effects of brexit, but said officials would do the work "at some stage". the chair of the exiting the european union committee, hilary benn, asked the brexit secretary exactly which sectors had been analysed. so there isn't one, for example, for the automotive sector? not that i am aware of. aerospace? no. no to all of them. doesn't it strike you as rather strange, given the experience around the committee you have, the government undertakes impact assessments on all sorts of things all the time, yet on the most

jacob as brexit happens. this is the conservative mpjacob rees mogg who is one of the signatories.reement. the risk is we paid the money from the day we leave and that reduces our negotiating clout to get the trade deal finalised if it hasn't been done before the 29th of march 2019 and that seems an obvious point. we have seen pressure from the dup, but presumably within the conservative party the prime minister is walking a delicate line. incredibly delicate. if the last couple of minutes of our conversation has led you to conclude that whichever way the british prime minister looks there is potential trouble over compromises around brexit, then in essence you have understood what today announced it. it is incredibly difficult. the simple reality for theresa may is that she can't please eve ryo ne theresa may is that she can't please everyone all the time, she can't even please some people all of the time, the whole nature of the politics of delivering brexit is to encourage as many people to remain close to her argument as often as is possible and it is inevitable as she goes to
