you are listening to liam fox. there has been so much noise this week with regards to brexit.n where we are at. it is frustrating. we would like to have had a deal by now. i would have had a few years ago that we would have won. i am hopeful there will be a deal. if there isn't we can handle an ideal situation. it is not what we want. it would be u nfortu nate, not what we want. it would be unfortunate, but i think the country can manage. i think in the long—term that the uk will be better off outside of the eu, even if it takes five or ten years for that to materialise. would you describe yourself then as a brexiteer? you can me that if you want to. when you say a no deal would be unfortunate, what about this warning from the european car lobby group saying it would set back the uk car industry some two decades? that is u nfortu nate. some two decades? that is unfortunate. very unfortunate for many, unfortunate. very unfortunate for any unfortunate. very unfortunate for many, many jobs. absolutely. unquestionably. this is why preparations for no dilmi to be undertaken in earn

as out it makes a mockery of liam fox as our trade secretary not knowing if he will ever be ablele to come into effect. the dup and tory brexiteers will not support this, and this will cause uproar among leave voters in this country. just on the issue of the dup, theresa may has frequently said that she is not going to agree to anything that would divide up the united kingdom. the problem with theresa may over the last couple of years, on brexit in particular, is that she has said about 300 different things, most of which are mutually incompatible. the problem is the word is not very reliable. she said for example that we would leave the customs union. now, iam perfectly we would leave the customs union. now, i am perfectly happy if we stay. i think it is the right thing for our economy, for our manufacturing industry and ourfood industry in particular. but she promised we wouldn't and now she has said she would. i can understand why the dup don't trust her. they want to absolutely hold her to ransom in that kind of parliamentary voting. and michael, the telegraph has more on thi

themselves from saudi arabia the british government delegation led by the trade secretary who's liam fox is the latest e.u. grouping to pull out of the conference in riyadh elites of this month meanwhile the president of the european parliament until you're to johnny says he's concerned about the case. is freedom for these for me is it keep to defend the place everywhere in europe. for these a think is important to a meeting on this always that you live. this side to kill this journalist now after the break we'll go back with more on that story for you more in-depth analysis and specifically zero in on the business fallout resulting from the disappearance of jamal stay with us for that. three top officials have been killed in an attack in afghanistan just moments after a meeting attended by the most senior u.s. commander in the country the governor of kandahar his top intelligence officer and police chief all dead two americans were also injured in the attack which happened at the governor's compound in southern afghanistan it's increased concern about the security situation in afghanist

liam fox liam fox the latest in a growing number of officials pulling out of that international investmentthey want to hear the truth behind what has happened to the missing journalist. we will have more on that throughout the afternoon. to our top story. theresa may has said she'd consider extending the brexit transition period — but only by a few months. the move would give more time to resolve the irish border issue. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is at westminster. that's what she says it will sue but her critics think otherwise. it's a raid a in westminster when every single tory mp i've spoken to this morning is in agreement. trouble is they oppose this idea mrs may has given space to of some extension to the transition period which is why i think we saw this morning the prime minister out and about desperately trying to put the idea back in its box saying it may never happen. and if it did happen, don't worry, it would only be for a few months. but there doesn't seem to be any support as far as there doesn't seem to be any support as farasi there doesn't seem to be any

we know that liam fox and michael gove were in there.lor is at an imf meeting in bali so he wasn't there. core cabinet ministers are being tightly in the loop. i think number ten... they don't want people to say that this was a cabinet being bounced into controversial decisions about the future of brexit. the key one that needs to be resolved if this question of the irish backstop and the prime minister is under huge pressure from brexiteers, of course, but also another dup who are making their concerns about this very clearly known to number ten. they are effectively threatening to destroy the prime minister's agenda if she makes any, misers that they don't like. these are ready tough days for theresa may to navigate. we will be back to you if there is any more coming out of that cabinet meeting later on this evening. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. storm callum is on the way for the uk with a spell of strong, potentially disruptive winds for many western parts of the uk by the end of the night and into tomorro

do people want to be seen to be on the right side of history do you think liam fox the u.k. trade minister you know that's a name we associate with bricks it i mean he is obviously entailed with that involved in the alley but he's saying i'm not going to davos in the following the french following the dutch following even christine legarde the i.m.f. boss as well. but does that go beyond symbolism and once once the dust settles in a week or a month the real impacts of that is what's well i think once the dust does settle down the road and it could be in the next few weeks or next month you'll start to see a normalization of relations but the european leaders did make it take a strong stand on this something we haven't seen from the trumpet ministration just yet some u.s. businesses yes but not the actual u.s. government and it does say a lot about being on the right side of history jim correspondent there in stumble clearly making the point that they got two scenes of investigation and they found quite some evidence between the consulate and the consul general's residence th

real crunch moment, and you really saw what is being demonstrated about this decision of whether liam foxogether and attempt this investment conference. i suppose we are also talking about trade here but regionally there are very strategic partners in the region and three we re partners in the region and three were speaking about —— speaking to an activist and one of the questions i could do her, she left in bahrain and is living in denmark. there was and is living in denmark. there was a distinct lack of voices from the middle east condemning or questioning what is happening. if anything, some of the regional countries have that and their decision regulars, there will be repercussions, all the manoeuvres of what is going on. what really can the likes of the us and the uk do? then returned to the front page of the guardian... it is talking about pr. the uk has done in trying to boost its image. this is going to... asl boost its image. this is going to... as i says, a very expensive operation by the saudis to paint a portrait of a country that is not... i could've gone on with what i said,

in terms of the cabinet look at liam fox. he is a passion brexiteers.man supposed to be securing these deals. you will be looking at "i can look at doing deals may in the future if the european union say i can". you think we will get more cabinet walk—outs? think we will get more cabinet walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. i think steve walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink steve baker, paris johnson book pick off the ballot as the dup are. brexiteers her fears and rightly so. let's move on because there are lots of other stories to talk about. i the front page of the telegraph we have been talking about mental health today, mental health day. facebook should pay a mental health levies. i'm up for facebook paying a bit more tax. but what is confusing here is a simon stephens the nhs is saying that they must pay and that the evidence is clear that social media is causing mental health problems. that's not the case. we know there are ways in which young people do use social m

ifi can bring you in now, we are hearing about some companies pulling out of the conference, liam foxovernment even though the investigation is continuing into the murder, be taking further steps against saudi arabia? the government has not yet confirmed that no officials will go, they have confirmed that the secretary of state won't go himself. we need to push the government to confirm on that issue. i would say that we do need to take further action and the secretary of state says the saudis excuses are unbelievable and if they are unbelievable, whatever the outcome of the investigation, it will determine that he was killed in the saudi considered on turkish soil and this is a backdrop of having thousands of people murdered by saudi forces in the yemen, and i say murdered because by all accounts they are war crimes that britain has continued to sell arms to an liam fox directly overruling his officials in the arms export department to make sure the weapons continue to go there. we should stop selling any arms to saudi arabia? until assurances can be given, for example final use cheq

government delegation led by the trade secretary liam fox is the latest e.u. grouping to pull out of the investment conference in riyadh later this month three top security officials have been killed in an attack in afghanistan just moments after a meeting attended by the most senior u.s. commander in the entire country now the governor of kandahar his top intelligence officer and police chief are all dead the attack happened in the province of kandahar within the governor's compound it's increased concerns about the security situation in afghanistan elections on saturday a center left party has won by turns runoff parliamentary elections final results show that the d.n. tea party won twenty six seats in the national assembly the royalist d.p.t. party won twenty one seats this was only britain's third democratic election the absolute monarchy ended in two thousand and eight. how masses distanced itself from a rocket attack that hit southern israel on whedon's day house was damaged in the city of best shava the group says the rocket fire was quotes irresponsibl

as we've been hearing, the international trade secretary liam fox has pulled out of an international the disappearance of the journalist, jamal khashoggi. the us secretary will also pull out. mike pompeo has returned from a visit to saudi arabia and turkey and he will tell reporters the saudis will be given a few more days to carry out an investigation. we ta ke we take this matter very clearly. they made clear to me that they understand the serious nature of the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. they also assured me that they will conduct a complete and thorough investigation of all of the facts surrounding this situation and that they will do so in a timely fashion. this report will be transparent, for eve ryo ne this report will be transparent, for everyone to ask questions about and to be thorough. i told donald trump that we are given a few more days to com plete that we are given a few more days to complete that, so that we have a com plete complete that, so that we have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that. we can then make decisions about whether the us shou

s trade minister liam fox who earlier announced he won't be going on either so a lot of the the star power if you like is pulling out from this investment conference and that follows other businesses the likes of j.p. morgan and ford as well which made the decision. to not go and in fact a money i might put that to you as well is that a good sign do you think that sends the right message when people line the u.s. treasury secretary and the u.k. trade minister they say no we're not going until there's some more information or do you think it's just sort of it's just words at this stage though i do think it sent a statement a loud statement that we are all waiting and working on this unanimously other countries and other investors as well taken a stance with us helps our cause you heard i you know i wish there was more interaction like this this in the middle east but unfortunately will what we're seeing is more for our foreign countries taking a stance with us and saying hey we need answers. do you think that's a great thing ok do you think saudi arabia can i'm going a bit bigger pict

it is notjust steven mnuchin who has cancelled, the international trade secretary, liam fox, has cancelledthis time are trying to open of investment around the world while dealing with the brexit issue. well let's go back to our top story — the stall of the brexit talks and the possibility of an extension of the transition period. to talk more about how this summit went, iamjoined now by hungary's foreign minister, peter szijjarto. i'm sure you are in the loop as to what went on in the room last night. what did your side make of what theresa may had to say? actually, we area theresa may had to say? actually, we are a country which regretted a lot the decision of the british citizens to leave the eu, although we never commented and criticised, because it is only the british citizens who have the right to make the decision about the future of the uk. for us, it is obvious that there must be a deal at the very end of the negotiations, because if there is no deal, then it will cause a lot of damage for the remaining parts of the eu, putting into consideration the eu, putting into consideration

diplomatic sources have told the bbc that liam fox, the international trade secretary, and the us tradetary, are considering their options but could pull out of this conference which is due to start in just over a week. a spokesperson for doctor fox's office said his diary had not been finalised for that week. labour criticised the government for its inadequate and slow response, saying britain should stop selling arms to saudi arabia. how difficult is all of this for the british government? it is pretty awkward for any western country that considers saudi arabia to bea country that considers saudi arabia to be a key strategic partner in the middle east. over the years, those countries have turned a blind eye to saudi arabia's somewhat dubious record on things like human rights. written has trade deals with saudi arabia worth about £6 billion. this alleged killing, though, apparently brazen and gruesome in its nature, could be a step too far. turkish officials say there is audiovideo evidence of the killing taking place in the consulate in istanbul. if those are to come out, it will be

million people in that in the world's worst humanitarian crisis we are surprised when you heard that liam fox to his amazing minister would be going to a saudi investment conference i was expecting him to withdraw because of the pressure from the media on him now see saudi arabia the difference there need to so the idea is that he started practicing politics and unprecedented thuggish way his war on yemen his campaign against. his incarceration of his own cousins of his i'm codes his. siege of their well of. them believe there was a bad time some of those relatives were what about him i mean he gave he gave tom half a trillion dollars what about you know it's really it's so thugs in saudi arabia since one of them someone started running. started becoming a burden on the west it is a clear build in the west now turn they don't want to see this because he was benefiting he was setting his constituency back in the in the united states that he was being able to bring in billions of dollars from the saudis so that was the justification for whatever they did now that the cities in yemen are for eve

indeed, liam fox has pulled out of it. so to some extent, that very point has been answered. happened after skripal, we expelled a bunch of russian diplomats, intelligence people from london, other countries followed suit in a show of solidarity. if skripal‘s poisoning merited that kind of action, surely the outrageous murder of jamal khashoggi merits at least a similar sort of british reaction? well, i am sure there will be some reaction more broadly across the world, but it is not an exact parallel with the use of a military grade nerve agent on british soil, killing one person in amesbury a few days later, in what was directly traceable to stocks that only the russian state could have made, which were illegal and which they should have got rid of years ago under an international treaty. and the detective work was absolutely precise, with both us and by all of the people involved to really trace it absolutely to the kremlin without doubt, so it was — i agree the murder of khashoggi is absolutely heinous, but this was of a scale that also threatened international treaties, w

a lot of speculation about whether the trade secretary, liam fox, will attend, as well as others, whichedia organisations, cnn, the financial times, pulling out of that. so it is definitely a story to watch in the coming days. thank you very much. a 34—year—old british man has been shot dead in the french alps. the restaurant owner was cycling down a track as a hunting party made its way through nearby woods, according to the local prosecutor. the victim, who has not yet been named, was shot on saturday, and had been living for several years in the town of les gets. the foreign office says it's in touch with local authorities, and providing assistance to the man's family. a man who died following a landslide in south—west wales during storm callum is believed to be a 21—year—old man. he has been named locally as corey sharpling, who died as the landslip fell on the a484 at cwmduad between carmarthen and cardigan on saturday. trains are being disrupted along the devon coast because part of the track has been washed away by storm callum. great western railway says a large hole has opened

ice bow to the international trade secretary liam fox who famously once said he thought the odds of aught the odds of a no deal 60—40. i said, what now? you said, i haven't changed my mind. business leaders here are clear they think the chancellor no deal has gone up. from over the last seven days. —— the chance of a no deal. the boss of the chance of a no deal. the boss of the wto is also here tonight to reassure business leaders, don't worry, it is not the end of the world, you are a founder member of the wto and we will look out your trading interests. it is very clear here amongst the great and the good of the business community, that is not an option they want, they think the chances of that have gone not. 0n the extension of the transition period, they say whatever it takes to get a better solution, we are in favour of getting a no deal is not something anyone here wants to see. thanks once again from mansion house in the city of london. turkish investigators are examining the residence of the saudi arabian consul in istanbul, as more claims emerge about the suspected murder of

britons said international development secretary liam fox would not attend.ce ministers. the us said it had the case very seriously but was willing to give saudi arabia time to investigate and explain. i told president trump this morning that we ought to give them a few more days to complete that can so that we, too, have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that, at which point we can make decisions about how or if the united states should respond. it is now more than two weeks since jamal khashoggi entered his country's consulate in istanbul and was never seen again. turkish police are investigating claims he was tortured and dismembered by saudi agents. mr khashoggi's friends said he had been warned not to go to the saudi consulate and they believed his death was state—sanctioned. this is the consulate. doing this in such an organisation is a very, very anonymous organisation, which cannot be carried out without the permission of any higher authority. such an operation needs higher authorities. britain has a significant trade and security rela

on congress to take action do people want to be seen to be on the right side of history you think liam fox the u.k. trade minister you know that's a name we associate with brics i mean he is obviously entailed with the early but he's saying i'm not going to davos in the following the french following the dutch following even christine legarde the i.m.f. boss as well but does that go beyond symbolism and once once the dust settles in a week or a month the real impact of that is what well i think once the dust does settle down the road and it could be in the next few weeks or next month you'll start to see a normalization of relations but the european leaders did make it take a strong stand on this something we haven't seen from the trumpet ministration just yet some u.s. businesses yes but not the actual u.s. government and it does say a lot about being on the right side of history to correspond to their own stumble to make the point that they got two scenes of investigation and they found quite some evidence between the consulate and the consul general's residence there.

to preserve that relationship was as for the british relationship, the bbc now understands that liam foxretary, has pulled out of an important investment conference in riyadh next week, so i think that is a clear sign of where britain stands on this issue at the moment, is the latest high—profile name to pull out of that high—profile showpiece. in terms of donald trump he wavers between warning the saudis of severe punishment, and then saying that he disapproved of the approach of guilty until proven innocent, and that the saudis are an important ally. why? clearly because saudi arabia is key to his foreign policy of containing iran, but also critics in washington would say because of his business dealings with the saudi kingdom, to whom he sold real estate and yachts and the like. as for turkey, it was much harderfor the turks to walk away from this, because of course the probable killing happened here on turkish soil and macabre details are now coming out about the dismemberment of the body and the torture that might have happened to jamal khashoggi, and the danger in this diplomatic t

well this trade secretary liam fox wavers over going to next week's davos in the desert saudi arabia has come under concerted attack by mainstream media it's not for u.k. backed alleged atrocities in yemen but the alleged murder and dismemberment of a saudi journalist we though are going to look at another case raising questions of tereza means liaison with the oil rig. kingdom could the foreign office be perceived in any way of attempting to interfere with english justice on behalf of those to whom britain sells missiles and warplanes in the past few weeks queen's council really take a road to an approach made by the foreign office to high court judge peter smith it concerned a twenty fifteen trial involving. alleged wife of the late king fahd versus prince abdul aziz the q.c. said this was the first and only occasion in the course of my career that i was engaged on a case where the foreign office attempted to contact a judge although journo was successful in that twenty fifteen trial she would go on to lose in a court of appeal the u.k. foreign office told us they needed a freedom

call, jeremy hunt the foreign secretary is questioning the credibility of saudi claims as we know liam foxso now we are waiting to see what happens. whether there will be any sanctions, and whether america will do anything. president trump... david,. he has been very questioned —— cautious with his language saying i don't quite believe it, but think of our alliance here. which is what eve ryo ne alliance here. which is what everyone is talking about. the trade thing is so huge, it is huge for us. we went around the world saying let's sta nd we went around the world saying let's stand up to president putin after they try to poison the screwball family. we cannot been very well say i will turn a blind eye to what is a state sponsored murder —— the spripalfamily. the languagejeremy murder —— the spripalfamily. the language jeremy hunt has murder —— the spripalfamily. the languagejeremy hunt has been using is quite as well. like you say a lot of people say nothing will come of this. also, the is if you are a regime that can organise something thatis regime that can organise something that is s

to present these governments with a massive die because they earn a tonne of money with this in liam fox they are having in saudi arabia is. 24,000 people employed by those defence contracts. because of the big defence deals between the uk in saudi arabia. and donald trump is ina similarly in saudi arabia. and donald trump is in a similarly difficult position because there are even more americans invested in to the lower end ofarms americans invested in to the lower end of arms dealing essentially. they cannot just use end of arms dealing essentially. they cannotjust use words now there has to be action. they have to pause where they find out precisely what happened but there has to be follow—u ps happened but there has to be follow—ups now because the condemnation has been unequivocal. i know donald trump changed his tone and what he said at different points but his latest style is to just condemn these preposterous excuses. in saying that he is not going to jeopardise these jobs, what are they going to do? a huge story that clearly has some way to run. let's touch on one other story, t

investment conference in riyadh later this month and the british delegation led by trade sector liam fox also not attending. his senior political analyst moment bashara in london home on a point that you've made i think it might have been yesterday was when we were talking about us as journalists writing perhaps the final chapter of jamal khashoggi story interesting that we now see his own final opinion pages come out where he gets a chance to write his finally what did you actually make of the pace well the most important thing is that. in his death is able to do more than most people are able to do in their lives in their struggle for freedom in saudi arabia. what were the saudis hope to do which is silence. why killing him in their own consulate turned out to be the biggest blowback in the history of murder because never has been more outspoken but that heard most effective than he is today so imagine how big is the who bruce that's coming out of this thing you tried to kill someone secretly it becomes the most public event this year you will try to silence them they become more heard
