alex, let's talk about donald tusk, jean—claude juncker. about donald tusk, jean—claudejuncker. do they think brexit is reversible? donald tusk definitely does. he wants to make that clear to the british public. i don't think he thinks it will happen but it is important that he says it could happen. what is he actually getting at? their ideal outcome, for donald tusk, i would say, is for the uk to stay involved. they are quite happy for that to happen and they see a small window where it could happen easily. between now and 0ctober? happen easily. between now and october? yes. what about jean-claude juncker? is he talking about the uk changing its mind when it has left and rejoining? you mentioned article a0 nine. that is the process that moldova would take, new countries. it isa moldova would take, new countries. it is a rough road. you're looking at accepting the euro, not having a rebate. i don't think that is necessarily be part of the british public want to go down. what is your reaction on hearing these two important people within the

a month later, another dinner, another kiss with jean—claude juncker.e pm had "begged for help" when they met, and she seemed tired and politically weak. he denied the account. she was in good shape. she was not tired, she was fighting. as is her duty. everything for me was ok. reporter: so she didn't plead with you for help? no, no. still, by december, no decision on whether sufficient progress had been made. a deal was so near. quite literally — theresa may was even in brussels. but the sticking point was the dup who said they weren't happy with the proposals for northern ireland. we will not accept any form of regulatory divergence which separates northern ireland economically or politically from the rest of the uk. a dramatic intervention and back to stalemate. but after more late—night talks, finally, a breakthrough. for now at least. sufficient progress has now been made on the strict terms of the divorce. this was a difficult negotiation for the european union as well as for the united kingdom. you can say that again, jean—claude. and that's what

jean—claude junker wondered if brexit would be reversed, using article a0 nine.ia has a new prime minister. the third in seven months. he will become the country's first female pm if her nomination is approved. and after marathon talks, a breakthrough german coalition negotiations at the barton shall call the initial deal an excellent result. we will see. but let's talk about donald tusk, jean—claude junker, in their but let's talk about donald tusk, jean—claudejunker, in their minds, do they think brexit is reversible then? donald was definitely does, and he wants to make that clear to the british public. i don't think he thinks it will happen but it is important that he says it could happen. why? what is he getting at? the ideal outcome of these is to donald tusk, i would say, is that the uk to stay in the model that they built over 50 years to the continent to co—operate so that quite happy for it to happen and they see a small window where it could happen easily. between now and 0ctober? yes. what aboutjean—claude junker are true? is he talking about the uk c

we agreed that he would speak to jean-claude trichet, and i would speak to some others, and it became g10 movement. it took about a week or so to put together. we changed the time of our normal meeting so we could announce at the exact same time, this coordinated interest rate movement. and indeed i remember we informed our politicians just before we did it. >> i think the house will want to know that the governor for the bank of england has just announced an immediate 0.5% cut in interest rates is done so in a coordinated action around the world in which the u.s. fed has cut interest rates by 0.5%, the ecb by .5%, the swiss and other members of the g10 have all cut interest rates, showing global problems are best dealt with by global action. francine: so who knew about this, the 10 central bankers? lord king: yes, and among other people inside the central banking world. we did not brief the political world because that, i'm afraid in modern circumstance, means inevitably a leak. and that was the one thing that would have undermined the operation. francine: is that what makes the big

his view was echoed by the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker.r city in the world to run out of water as earlier as april. south african officials have warned that the city's worst drought in living memory could force them to shut the taps off and impose emergency water rationing. a maximum of 25 litres of water would be provided per person per day. experts predict that there is just over 90 days worth of water left in the city. sarah corker reports. there may be water all around cape town, but little of it is drinkable. the south african city is suffering its worst drought in more than a century. after three years of very low rainfall, western cape dams are now less than a third full. and the authorities are warning of day zero, the day the taps run dry, it could come as soon as the 22nd of april. if that happens there will be emergency water rationing. i do hope that the government is doing something to prevent day zero because it would be a national crisis. honestly it would be horrific when day zero comes. it's going to be very scary but i th

he kept saying, in accordance with the position of jean—claude juncker and donald tusk, no, you can't leave, you leave — but i wonder if there is not some wiggle room. because the eu is in need of money, and britain leaving will leave them destitute of a big slice of money. and if britain were to continue to want to pay into the coffers of the eu, which is a small price anyway, considering the huge advantage of the financial markets for the british economy, might not brussels reconsider this absolute adamant position? no, impossible. if britain is willing to cough up 11 billion euros every year... there are the red lines of mrs may — no court ofjustice. she has said it... and emmanuel macron has given an interview to the bbc this week, and reiterating exactly the point that you are both making. we are still a couple of months away from the final deal. and i predict certain u—turns here or there, both in brussels and london, in order to not come to a cliff edge resolution of the brexit issue, which would be catastrophic for britain. what was interesting about macron's visit, is that in

democracy wasn't a democracy any more if it couldn't change its mind, and that was backed up by jean—claudeage was heard loud and clear in london. i don't know if this is part of some big campaign to get the brexit vote reversed, i think it is more a tactic to make sure all options are still on the table no matter what happens in the next 1a months of the brexit process. there was plenty of other brexit chap today but what mps really want is more detailfrom theresa today but what mps really want is more detail from theresa may about what the uk wants from its future relationship with the eu before talks on that start in march. thank you. there's fewer than a0 miles between manchester and britain's fifth biggest city bradford, but the journey takes almost an hour on even the fastest trains. well this morning, transport for the north published its plan to modernise rail and road links, as our correspondent danny savage reports. the hills of the north. beautiful, but a physical barrier between the conurbations either side of the pennines. travelling by car can be painful, the few routes over t

jean-claude juncker went out of his way to sing the praises of theresa may.m's would like to have a strong leader in the u.k. they want to get a deal. not the same deal the u.k. wants, but they want clarity on the issue. -- theresa may can further is not good for europe. but the europeans would like some clarity from the british side. you forget the little bit about the noise -- because it is funny that the reshuffle did not work well -- from the european point of view, the angle will be do we have the same balance in the cabinet between brexiteers and soft brexiteers? this is something she has achieved. she maintain the balance within the cabinet on this. which brings us back to the status quo. the big issue for the europeans at this stage is they still do not know exactly what the british side wants of brexit. none of what happened yesterday is helping us understand what it is exactly they want. because we have the same stalemate within the cabinet between soft textures and hard brexiteers andft hard brexiteers. francine: we have a chart -- it has been trad
