basically the backstop will have to stay in place —— leo varadkar. withdrawal agreement will have to stay in place. that has always been the line from leo varadkar, the prime minister of ireland, and some of the leaders within europe itself, and brussels, but this is the issue. that was the one issue, the irish backstop, that when borisjohnson was foreign secretary and there was that famous meeting in chequers, he walks away. is very because i understand from keeping the peace in northern ireland why the border needs to be kept open. i also understand the eu. if the uk wants to leave the common market, you can't have it leading into an open border, so the backstop does make sense. one of the main dailies in germany, frankfurter allgemeine, looking at this story in detail, quite a hard article looking at johnson and about the fact that he wa nts johnson and about the fact that he wants this deadline of 31 october to be met regardless, deal or no deal, do ordie, et be met regardless, deal or no deal, do or die, et cetera. they are focusing very much on

the prime minister and his irish counterpart leo varadkar have discussed brexit in their first phonece boris johnson took office. reports from both sides suggest there was little agreement over the terms upon which britain might leave the eu. 0ur ireland correspondent emma vardy is in belfast. the uk and ireland relationship is critical to brexit. what state is at the moment? the relationship between the moment? the relationship between the uk and ireland has become extremely strained over brexit, so that phone call between boris johnson today and irish prime minister leo varadkar has no set in motion what is likely to be a further tense few months between the two governments. how did we get to this? the island of ireland is two different countries, but it is interlinked as one when it comes to trade. ireland depends very heavily on having zero barriers to do business with northern ireland and the rest of the uk, with warnings that ireland could suffer thousands ofjob that ireland could suffer thousands of job losses if that ireland could suffer thousands ofjob losses if the uk were

boris johnson according to irish prime minister leo varadkar. toa commons on thursday that the route to a brexit deal would be to persuade the eu to abolish the irish border backstop, here is ireland's foreign minister who addressed the commons earlier. he seems to have made a deliberate decision to set britain on a collision course with the european union and with ireland, in relation to the brexit negotiations. and i think only he can answer the question as to why he is doing that, but i think it has been made very clear from michel barnier, from leo varadkar, from presidents eight task and juncker, at the direction the parameter is taking will not be the basis of an agreement. libya's read crescents as it has recovered the bodies of 62 migrants one day after one of the deadliest shipwrecks this year in the mediterranean. about 145 migrants were rescued after an overloaded boat sank off the libyan coast just east of the overloaded boat sank off the libyan coastjust east of the capital near the port city of homs. the united nations is calling f

boris johnson will not agree to the so—called irish backstop, leo varadkar restating so—called irishr restating the so—called irish backstop, leo varadkar restating the firm eu position that the uk cannot have a deal without it. now, as you say, borisjohnson is deal without it. now, as you say, boris johnson is here deal without it. now, as you say, borisjohnson is here in northern ireland tonight. he is having dinner with senior members of the democratic unionist party of northern ireland, discussing, renewing their alliance in government. and tomorrow he will be meeting the main parties here at dormont in his first visit to northern ireland since becoming the new prime minister. the value of the pound has continued to fall as the government insists it is prepared to take the uk out of the european union without a deal. today it reached a new 2.5—year low against the dollar, hitting $1.21 before recovering slightly. sterling also fell against the euro, which is bad news for holidaymakers going abroad, as well as some businesses. here is simon jack. holiday time — it's when people re

leo varadkar said there would be no deal that doesn't include the backstop.e talks are not going to be easy for him. keith doyle in northern ireland, thank you. schools in areas with a higher risk of youth violence should be given dedicated police officers, according to a group of mps. the home affairs committee criticised the government's current violence reduction strategy as "completely inadequate" and have called on boris johnson, to take "personal responsibility" for tackling knife and gun crime among young people. here's more from our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. a young life cut short. yousef makki from greater manchester died in march after being stabbed in the heart. he was only 17. the knife violence which led to the death of yousef and a growing number of other teenagers is described in a new report as an epidemic. the home affairs committee says young people are being failed by agencies and whitehall departments that are meant to keep them safe. teenagers are dying on our streets, and families are being devastated. but the government's

the warning from leo varadkar on the front of the ft. i remember there was a story that i might be willing to compromise and it does not look like they are willing to compromise and he is the irish prime minister and is saying that the more there is the more there is an idea of no deal, the more northern island will question the union. scotland and northern ireland voted to remain. again they are talking about borisjohnson remain. again they are talking about boris johnson and his remain. again they are talking about borisjohnson and his people are saying the need to abolish this backstop before they start talking to the eu and they are saying... it is just talking. to the eu and they are saying... it isjust talking. and is to the eu and they are saying... it is just talking. and is very familiar to what we were a few months ago. it shows what kind of state we are in that ireland are still having to say about the backstop three years on invoice johnson is still talking about the backstop is a problem. abolish the backstop is a problem. a

leo varadkar said the insurance policy to stop physical checks at the boarder in ireland had to stay line that deal that theresa may agreed would not be renegotiated. leo varadkar also invited boris johnson to dublin, but i get the sense from downing street he won't be hot footing it there soon. what we are seeing from borisjohnson is a continuation of the twin track approach, saying his preference is for a deal, but the uk will leave the eu at the end of october come what may and that is why he is ramping up the preparations for no deal. you can see also that boris johnson is starting the strategy of trying to pin the blame for a no deal on the eu, saying that this is up deal on the eu, saying that this is up to the eu, it is their call if they want to do this. that is not how brussels would sigh silt. thank you. the value of the pound has continued to fall, as the ggovernment insists it is prepared to take the uk out of the european union without a deal. this morning, it reached a a new two and a half year low against the dollar, before recovering slightly. today at the close of ma

, u nless leaders, including leo varadkar, unless they are prepared to rip up the withdrawal agreementagreement and be in the backstop. they have made it clear that they are not going to do that —— bin the backstop. he seems very confident he will be able to avoid no deal, and to me it seems almost certain direction of the government, that it is heading for a no deal brexit. he told the telegraph there is a vanishingly small chance of no deal brexit. nobody really seems to believe that in his cabinet, and this comes after his million to one chances, as well. and he is suggesting that what you could have is you could agree to extend the implementation period, so you get the withdrawal agreement, a new one, presumably, you would extend the implementation period, currently just over a extend the implementation period, currentlyjust over a year, to two yea rs currentlyjust over a year, to two years in order to have more time to doa years in order to have more time to do a deal, and then you wouldn't need the backstop. the problem is that the whole point of the backstop is that they didn't

the ft, we have leo varadkar warning how we get out.wanting that the northern irish people and the scottish people, all of whom voted to remain, essentially, well think, hold on, if they go for a hard brexit maybe they don't like the union. although in here it does remind us that boris johnson thinks very strongly of the union, doesn't he? he is very fond of it... jolly lovely! doesn't mean he is going to protect it. shows there is no compromising. just talking about this again. this is borisjohnson talking talking about this again. this is boris johnson talking about the backstop and saying stuff that doesn't make any sense, because if you abolish the backstop in this pa rt of you abolish the backstop in this part of the agreement in order to get it through parliament you simply move the problem of the northern irish border and how you control it without controlling it into the future trade agreement that we have to have with the eu. and he is also talking about gm crops, investment, and more research, which if we have gm crops in nort

people in the parliament won't do that to their country barbarous a verse strong words there from leo varadkar. indeed for i've got really echoes what brussels things there will be no total renewable. drawl agreement that is absolutely off the table the book is closed that is the one thing and the other thing of course what boris johnson has done with this cabinet reshuffle is too much too mild the word for it is that he has assembled a whole rebel army all frustrated and furious tory members on the backbench is now and his majority in parliament is only to vote so how is he ever going to get anything grex it related through this problem and we have so many people in his own party who say we don't want our heart breaks it would be disastrous so that is the one side the other side also what we heard was that boris johnson firmly points the finger at brussels there is the blame game is already beginning now and brussels is not taking kindly to that specific much much more from london today is that 1st meeting gets underway. the 1st cabinet meeting will be getting underway and maybe some more det

he made the comments after speaking, for the first time, with irish taoiseach leo varadkar.clear on the call that any new brexit deal cannot include the backstop. and in turn mr varadkar told mrjohnson the eu was united, the backstop cannot be scrapped and the withdrawal agreement cannot be reopened. here's mrjohnson speaking earlier. three times the house of commons has thrown out that backstop. there is i'io thrown out that backstop. there is no way we can get it through. we have to have that backstop out of the deal. we cannot go on with the withdrawal agreement as it currently is and everyone understands it is dead. we have to get that message across to our friends. if they understand that we will be at the races. if they can't compromise, if they really can't do it, then clearly we have to get ready for a i'io clearly we have to get ready for a no deal exit. 0ur political correspondentjess parker is in westminster. some stuff in the irish media today that the taoiseach was under a bit of pressure, maybe not everybody on board with his brexit strategy and keeping the bac

the irish taoiseach, leo varadkar, will not renegotiate the brexit agreement.dkar will not allow the so—called irish backstop from being dropped from the agreement. the japan times reports that more women than ever are working in japan. the paper says that this is due to the ageing population increasing the number of open positions, therefore giving more women opportunities. and children prefer city life to country living according to a new report in the times, but they say that it is still better for children to grow up in the countryside. with me is david buik. did you grow up in the city or country? urban dweller. me too. south london through and through. let's talk about north korea first of all, because of the course donald trump is very keen to give this impression that everything is ok, it is settled. this is giving a different impression. is settled. this is giving a different impressionlj is settled. this is giving a different impression. i thought 20 minutes ago when laura gave her assessment on north korea, there is not an awful lot i can add apart f

meanwhile, boris johnson and his irish counterpart, leo varadkar, have had theirfirst phone call withohnson became prime minister six days ago. during their conversation, mr varadkar invited mrjohnson to dublin for discussions about brexit. our political correspondent, nick eardley is at westminster. how did the call goal and did mr johnson accept the invitation rsc staying away aren't doing his awesome foursome tour of the union? the key thing to come out of this call is the fundamental tension between the prime minister and the taoiseach, one that we are familiar with but which is going right to the heart of why their relationship is so tense at the moment. boris johnson saying, let's get a deal, let's sort this out, let's come up with something that can get through the uk parliament by getting rid of the uk parliament by getting rid of the backstop. the taoiseach saying, absolutely not. the backstop is an integral part of any deal we will do and the withdrawal agreement is not going to be reopened, so whatever talks borisjohnson going to be reopened, so whatever talks boris johnson

leo varadkar is showing signs of more flexibility. the irish economy as it would be for the irish economy as it would be for the uk economy and i don't want to be seen to be causing that by his implanted and is on the backstop, so i think there's room for further negotiations. thank you both very much. we will bring you some more comments coming in from you while we look at number ten because we are expecting theresa may to leave their any moment. terry, welcome boris johnson, now deliver brexit for us and do use the no deal as our ace card. mrs may was a remain and never mentioned our ace card in negotiations. she did not want the uk to leave the treacherous eu. on twitter, boris johnson uk to leave the treacherous eu. on twitter, borisjohnson is not a good mayor of london, wasting hundreds of millions on vanity projects and bad decisions and can't be trusted with the country's bank book. jackie on facebook, it's going to be different to what we had in decades, so i will reservejudgment. we to what we had in decades, so i will reserv

if leo varadkar is right, and as a consequence the house of commons votes in the autumn against leaving on 31st october, without an agreement, what will be prime minister's policy be then? i thank you mr speaker. i think what the right honourable gentleman has said is redolent of the kind of defeat and negativity. why begin by assuming that our eu friends will not wish to compromise? i think they have every reason to want to compromise and that is what we will seek, a compromise, and i respectfully say to the right honourable gentleman, and to all the on all members that it is now our collective responsibility to get this done. will he bring back any brexit plan and put it to this house and then put it to the people because that is the way that we can finally break the brexit deadlock? borisjohnson said he respectfully disagreed. if the prime minister fails to secure some magical, mythical new deal with the european union, will he promise now, at the dispatch box, that the matter will return to this sovereign parliament so that we can decide what happens next before october 31? this par

if leo varadkar is right and as a consequence the house of commons votes in the autumn against leavingl the prime minister's policy be then? i thank you, mr speaker. i think what the right honourable gentleman has said is redolent of the kind of defeatism and negativity that we have had over the last three years. if the prime minister fails to secure some magical, mythical new deal with the european union, will he promise now at the dispatch box that the matter will return to this sovereign parliament so that we can decide what happens next before 31 october? parliament has already voted several times to honour that mandate of the people, to come out of the eu, and that is what we should do. and i think that the right honourable lady herself voted to trigger article 50. the new prime minister, borisjohnson. and mrjohnson was not the only new party leader of the week. on mondayjo swinson won the liberal democrat leadership race, becoming the party's first female leader. she saw off a challenge from former cabinet minister, sir ed davey. jo swinson became the youngest member of the house

and ireland's leader leo varadkar has reitterated that there would be no changes to the withdrawal agreemently people who can cause no deal is the united kingdom's government. and while they aren't going to speak to prime ministerjohnson over the airwaves, i look forward to meeting him. whati airwaves, i look forward to meeting him. what i can say, is the european of their european union and oregon has not changed because of the backstop is an integral part of the withdrawal agreement was that without the backstop, there is no withdrawal agreement was that there is no transition phase, there is no limitation phase, and there will be no free trade agreement until all those matters are resolved. more than 480 million people across asia and the pacific are undernourished. but plenty of others are getting too much of the wrong kind of food. in fact, the pacific islands have the highest rates of obesity in the world. nation the problem is our diets, and the united nations has gathered experts from around the world in bangkok to find some solutions. their main goal is to develop the first internat

last night, leo varadkar confirmed once again that it will not happen.rime minister has no plan. he is full of bluster, but the consequences of his fantasy land will have devastating consequences. he is deluded. let me warn the prime minister: if he tries to take scotland and the united kingdom out of the european union on a no-deal basis, we will stop him doing so. this house will stop the prime minister. we will not let him do untold damage to the jobs and constituents of our country. parliament will stop this madness in its tracks. the prime minister was elected by 0.13% of the population. he has no mandate from scotland. he has no mandate in this house. scotland has had a tory government for whom it did not vote for 36 of the past 64 years. the barnett formula that protects spending in scotland has been criticised by the prime minister, the home secretary and the foreign secretary. will the prime minister today rule out changing the barnett formula, or is scotland under attack from this prime minister? the whole internal tory party crisis has been a

borisjohnson had the phone call with the irish taoiseach, prime minister leo varadkar yesterday, sixe call was cordial and friendly but clearly both sides are at loggerheads. boris johnson saying there can be no withdrawal agreement that includes the backstop. the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, saying there can be no withdrawal agreement that does not include the backstop. how we work a way out of that conundrum, who knows. but clearly the backstop is, as you say, front and centre. the president on sinn fein, mary lou mcdonald, has said the backstop is actually the minimum guarantee that is required in any kind of deal. this is what she had to say. the withdrawal agreement is not up for renegotiation, so the british government cannot and will not intimidate the irish government, or the people who voted to remain. those days are long gone. the backstop is the bare minimum required to safeguard irish interests, and no—one with a care for ireland or irish interests would consider renegotiating or reducing the minimum safeguards of the backstop at the behest of borisjohnson. the pr

will do it if need be, but the fact is that there is very little time to negotiate anything —— leo varadkarels to cave? is that the fundamental underpinning of what he is saying? that he believes when they see that no deal is on the table, they will cave? among the brexiteer contingency, there is a feeling that nobody actually asked for anything in theresa may's deal that worked for the uk as well as the eu. so now borisjohnson and for the uk as well as the eu. so now boris johnson and his team will test that out, are they actually going to put forward a deal of any kind that the eu can stomach? if both sides can come to some sort of agreement, that may involve having some sort of time limit on the backstop, but it has to be said that a time—limited backstop isn't really a backstop. he wa nted backstop isn't really a backstop. he wanted it completely out. so will be taking it out, or working on... the deal that theresa may put in front of parliament, and it is notjust the brexiteers that didn't like it, remainers didn't like it either, so he will have some time finding something that both s

some of the congratulations from leo varadkar, who congratulated borisjohnson but from leo varadkar,n very clear that any negotiations were between the eu and britain, and certainly there was no individual negotiations going on between ireland and britain, but clearly there is some merit to leo varadkar seize to getting an early meeting and with borisjohnson, really getting an early meeting and with boris johnson, really to getting an early meeting and with borisjohnson, really to hammer home that message that the backstop on the agreement, that is there to stay as far as ireland is concerned. the deputy prime minister has said, issued a statement to say, we will work constructively with boris johnson and his government to maintain and strengthen british— irish relations through the challenge of brexit, and it certainly is a challenge. he warned that the weekend, on bbc tv, about the dangers of an audio brexit and the dangers of an audio brexit and the dangers of any incoming prime minister trying to tear up the withdrawal agreement. he says as they try to do that we are in trouble.

the irish prime minister leo varadkar has said that a no deal brexit would be a decision for britaintion of ireland has not changed, the backstop is an integral pa rt changed, the backstop is an integral part of the withdrawal agreement and without the backstop there is no withdrawal agreement, there is no transition phase, no implementation phase and there would be no free trade agreement until all those matters are resolved. so i hope that the new uk prime minister hasn‘t chosen no deal, but that will be up to them. with me is the daily telegraph columnist asa bennett. leo varadkar they‘re saying they don‘t want no deal, and i hope boris johnson is thinking it through carefully. what impression did you get of the new prime minister‘s performance today? the mantra was let boris be boris. people thought he might be stuffy and wind himself in butfar he might be stuffy and wind himself in but farfrom he might be stuffy and wind himself in but far from it. he might be stuffy and wind himself in but farfrom it. he was going at it, speaking a thousand words a minute, going after labour, c

yesterday, the irish prime minister leo varadkar, said mrjohnson's comments on the backstop were "notid a new brexit deal was "not going to happen". this is what he said today. no deal is a british threat and the only people who can cause no deal is the united kingdom government. and why they are not going to speak to prime ministerjohnson over the airways i look forward to meeting him and are due course and what i can say is the position of the european union and ireland has not changed and the backstop as an integral part of the withdrawal agreement and without the backstop there is no withdrawal agreement. agreement and without the backstop there is no withdrawal agreementm let's go back to jessica there is no withdrawal agreementm let's go back tojessica because we are hearing again one thing from one camp and one thing from another and the contentious issue of this insurance policy, the backstop, it is still unresolved. and to remind people it is a term that we are around, it is in the withdrawal agreement to ensure the border between northern ireland and republic of ireland is f

last night, leo varadkar confirmed once again it won't happen. consequences of his fa ntasyland will have bluster. but the consequences of his fantasyland will have devastating consequences. he is deluded. let me warn the prime minister now, try to ta ke warn the prime minister now, try to take scotland, try to take the united kingdom out of the european union on a no deal basis, we will stop the prime minister from union on a no deal basis, we will stop the prime ministerfrom doing so. this house. the prime minister. we won't let the prime minister do u ntold we won't let the prime minister do untold damage to the jobs and constituents of our country. parliament will stop this madness in its tracks. the prime minister was selected by 0.113% of the population. he has no mandate from scotland. he has no mandate in this house. scotland has had a tory government it didn't vote for full 36 of the last 64 years. mr speaker, the barnett for miller that protect spending in scotland has been criticised by the prime minister, by the home secretary, and th

the prime minister borisjohnson has had a telephone conversation with the irish prime minister leo varadkar until today borisjohnson had not spoken to leo varadkar. his failure to do so had been branded discourteous and offensive by sinn fein, but he has now spoken to him. of course, the issue of what happens on the border between ireland and the island of ireland in the event of no—deal brexit is of course very high on the political agenda. we now have confirmation from downing street that a conversation has taken place. the headlines on bbc news... a formerjudge says police "must be investigated" over the probe into an alleged vip paedophile ring — that was based on the lies of carl beech. boris johnson visits wales for the first time as prime minister — hoping to rally support for his plans for farming after brexit. poorer pupils trail 18 months behind the rest of the class once they take their gcses — according to new research. for many people, coming out as lesbian or gay to their friends and family is one of the most challenging things they'll ever do. but for those coming from religi

leo varadkar made that clear as well. johnson said today they were ready to negotiate whenever they were ready, but they are knocking much on their side. brussels does not ask he wants you reopened the negotiations isa wants you reopened the negotiations is a hurdle. we know he's going to mmp is a hurdle. we know he's going to ramp up the preparations, and i think there is a view in the boris johnson camp that later on, if it really looks a person is serious about leaving at the end of october, we might start to move. if that does not work and you start to look about how you go about your no—deal strategy, you will clearly see inside parliament many mps working together to see how they can prevent a no—deal brexit. i think that is where we start to get to the selection, whether it is because borisjohnson is personally stopped delivering his promises or perhaps there is a no—confidence vote. delivering his promises or perhaps there is a no-confidence vote. we know people in london, some people in london and the southeast,

who said what he has had from borisjohnson today is unacceptable, and i want to play you what leo varadkarulletin in ireland. confidence and enthusiasm is not a substitute for a european policy or a foreign policy, so we'll need to hear in detail what he has in mind. listening to what he said today, i got the impression that he wasn't just talking about deleting the backstop. he was talking about a whole new deal, a better deal, for britain. that's not going to happen. that doesn't sound to me like the irish are ready to blink. it sounds to me like the opening shot in a negotiation. the irish have rather overplayed their hand in the last three years with michel barnier‘s help. the irish realise it but not to leave without a deal, the worst hit country would be ireland, and i think the irish are looking at this borisjohnson think the irish are looking at this boris johnson cabinet in think the irish are looking at this borisjohnson cabinet in government and thinking, oh, my god, it looks as though they are prepared to leave, and you are beginning to see negotiating positions being put out.

leo varadkar has commented on this, saying they have to put the safety interests of irish citizens and forced labour. the founder of the english defence league, tommy robinson, faces jail after being found in contempt of court, forfilming defendants in a criminal trial and broadcasting the footage on social media. jaguar land rover says the company's decision to build electric vehicles in birmingham will protect hundreds ofjobs. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. another leap in the number of newjobs in the us. last month, 22a,000 jobs were created. most economists imagined the figure would be closer to 160,000. but elsewhere in the world, in germany and asia, the latest economic figures are looking weak. more on this in a second. jaguar land rover —jlr — is investing hundreds of millions of pounds to build a range of electric vehicles at its castle bromwich plant in birmingham. initially the plant will produce an electric version of the jaguar xj. jlr says the move will help secure the jobs of 2,700 workers at the plant. john menzies, the company in charge of loading yo

saying boris johnson irish prime minister leo varadkar saying borisjohnson is not in the real worldogress in that area with the big dispute on brexit running alongside. it is a difficult brief to ta ke alongside. it is a difficult brief to take on with northern ireland, all the historical layers of tension and conflict which still play into all the political issues of the modern day. he must chart a course carefully through the two big tribes here, the conflicts between the nationalist and unionist parties. he had a cautious press conference facing his first questions from the media, clearly doesn't want to put a foot wrong. you could tell he had been briefed very carefully to say derry and the london diary at every mention, because there are historical tensions over the naming. a cautious approach and very well briefed i am sure by his special advisers. he certainly turned up smartish on being a —— appointed. and some might be quite glad to see the back of the last northern irish secretary. it is only our short hop on the plane. any hanging around and he would face the criticism th

leo radtke is toeing the party line. he is one of 27 members of the eu, they have had notice served on them —— varadkar.hem —— varadkar. my attitude is fine, and i understand that in good faith, prime minister may negotiate is something that she thought she could get through the house of commons, they threw it out, not by a bit, by a lot three times. whether you like it or not, you have a new prime minister, you have a new... it doesn't mean a new deal. what i am saying is if you wa nt to new deal. what i am saying is if you want to go like this, saying, no, no and no, fine. you have to expect the outcome. my attitude is you need a conversation. whether we are just going all the way down to the wire until somebody blinks, we have to have a chat if nothing else. even if the european union listens to boris johnson and michael gove and stephen barclay and says, sorry, we have this thing that has taken us three yea rs, this thing that has taken us three years , we this thing that has taken us three years, we are not doing it. ok, but what i don't like is this intransigence and the fact remains as he is play
