leonardo for me at this moment is different than i say kenneth clark who wrote 70 years ago about leonardo wrote about him, he was an art critic, kenneth clark, i write about him as somebody who loves technology. i love technology and i love the fact that steve jobs made a beautiful iphone. leonardo is engineered with beauty and art connective. >> what kind of jobs -- jobs is clearly a genius, he could not have done that without a collaborator. >> what kind of collaborator is a leonardo da vinci. >> it is hard to authenticate some of these paintings. leonardo had a studio, he had a lot of colleagues and students and apprentices, it was before the artist went off on his own and did it by himself. a lot of leonardo's paint ing, e did some of the drawings and some of the apprentices would help and work on it. i doiscover that all the creativity is collaborative. when i asked steve jobs of his projec projects, he said "it is a team that i put together." these are a group of friends doing it and with the virgin of the rocks, there is a lawsuit back then in the 1500 because the person who commis

it's the key aim of a group which includes we are told former tory chancellor kenneth clarke, severale ex—ministers together with prominent labour snp, liberal democrat and green mps, they wa nt to liberal democrat and green mps, they want to give parliament the ability to veto or prevent they say by other legal means a bad deal or no deal outcome. no wonder parliament is not going to be looking at the next phase, next stage of this eism withdrawal notification bill because there is far too much division. there are too many clauseles, too many amendments and some the government could be defeated on. when sentences are thrown at michel barnier or others saying the ball is in your court. look, it's simple, brexit and a ali—year partnership is the most difficult and complex thing to do, to do this under the glare of the 24/7 media is extremely — almost impossible. then when you have internal divisions and people don't agree on the vision, i think this is... of course the eu is watching carefully a nd is... of course the eu is watching carefully and thinking who will we end up negotiating

like kenneth clark in the 30's and 40's.ay, he really exults at the mental lisa -- mona lisa, but they say it is a shame he wasted so much time doing math and geology and these that did not work. i think the model is that answers that criticism with her smile because she realizes that is only after a lifetime of just loving every pattern in nature that you and i can do, which is be more observant and love the patterns of nature, be curious about -- he would walk around with his notebooks in florence and see a smile form on somebody's face. in his notebook he would say, let's try to imagine all of the emotions. he does that with the last supper, all 12 apostles. in this mona lisa, even though it seems like a pretty still almost athere is dramatic narrative as you can watch the smile flicker and the emotions come to the surface as the earth and creation for next with her. -- for next with her -- connects with her. if you are in the room, you see a window. and you see it is a fake -- not a fake perspective, but accelerated pers

kenneth clark. >> mr. speaker, isn't it clear that damaging delay will be caused if we don't make progress soon? and the main problem is that other european leaders can see that a noisy minority in the cabinet and on the back benches of her own party have persuaded themselves that no deal at all is completely desirable? and this causes them to doubt whether she's able to produce a clear picture of where she eventually wants to go and whether she's able to produce a majority here for any agreement they have with her. so has she considered -- she may have done already -- appointed some trusted minister to make approaches to leading members of the opposition parties to see if they will live up to the -- some of the things that the leader appears to say, and perhaps do better so that at least we can have a consensus in this parliament in the national interest on the outline of a transitional deal at least that would enable us then to negotiate the final details and arrangement that the majority of this house c

and there are biographers of leonardo of the 20th century, like kenneth clark in the '30s and '40s, he will exalt the mona lisa but will say something like it's a shame he wasted so much time doing math and geology and all these things that didn't work, and i think the mona lisa answers that crime simple with her smile because she realizes it's only after a lifetime of just loving every pattern in nature, things that you and i can do which is just be more observant and love the patterns in nature, be curious about -- you know, he would walk around with his notebooks in florence and he would see a smile form on somebody's face, and if his notebook he'd say let's try to imagine all of the emotions. he does that with the last supper, all 12 apostles, how do the gestures hit the emotions? so in this mona lisa even though it seems like a pretty still picture, there's almost a dramatic narrative as you can watch the smile flicker and the emotions come to the surface as the earth and creation connects with her. >> rose: who commissioned the last supper? >> the last supper was done by the duke

question is being put by different people in the house, not just opposition benches, we heard kenneth clarkes which seem to suggest that they felt there was not sufficient clarity on some of these very important issues. let's join our chief political correspondent vicki young, to take stock. what was the most significant part of that statement by the prime minister for you? as you outline, a lot of this isa you? as you outline, a lot of this is a repetition of her speech in florence, a speech that changed the tone and the british government feel made concessions in various areas. they hoped it would kick—start talks. we are going into the fifth round brexit negotiations. it is clear the opposition believe there isa clear the opposition believe there is a stalemate, and some conservative mps, and the chat is all about it no deal. how prepared is the british government to walk away without any deal whatsoever? we heard that question asked of theresa may and i think significantly, as you say alongside the statement, there is the publication of these white papers on trade and the customs union a

does happen that they can somehow blunt it and disgraceful behavior we're seeing what's going on kenneth clarke a prime among them the conservative chancellor saying oh you know we sensible people don't think that we should be doing this well so we can but people have voted and you've got to give the you've got to give let breaks it happen because if that doesn't happen imagine the damage that will be done to public belief in democracy but this isn't just a book about democracy about brics it's a wider book i hope about the people at the top becoming completely divorced from the people at the bottom the audience figures with the b.b.c. programs were obviously being going to kill you saying the government is all over the b.b.c. or part of these elite and out of touch with the people the governors of the b.b.c. a tremendous news they didn't get their jobs even though the not now governors they're called members of the trust but they still get their jobs through connections they've known members of them then don't sit indoors one could say from present who put their names forward and say i'd like

the speaker: mr kenneth clarke.that no difference at all would take place in our trading relationships with europe because they needed to sell us their mercedes and wine, would it not be best to proceed with the negotiations on the basis that our ideal solution would be to stay in the single market and the customs union and she can then seek to make changes. which are the things she explored when she tries to explain where she is at the moment. my learned friend has been consistent on this issue. when people voted in the referendum and voted for the uk to leave the european union, i think they were voting for us to take control of our borders, laws and our money. if we were to remain full members of the customs union and the single market that would bring with it continuing jurisdiction of the european court of justice it continuing jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice into the future, forever. it would also bring with it the requirement for free movement. what i have set out in the florence speech and the o

mr kenneth clarke. this causes them to doubt whether she is able to produce a clear picture of where she eventually wants to go and whether she is able to produce a majority here for any agreement they have, with her. has she considered appointed some trusted minister to make approaches to leading members of the opposition parties to see if they will live up to some of the things the leader appears to say and perhaps do better, so at least we can have a consensus in this parliament in the national interest on the outline of a transitional deal, at least, that would enable us to negotiate the final details and an arrangement the majority of this house would agree, is in the long—term interests of the united kingdom? i have to say to my right honourable friend that did sound like a job application. cani can i said to my right honourable friend, what was clear from my interaction with european leaders, they recognise the vision i set out in the florence speech for the deep and special partnership for the f
