liam fox, could this be a turkey for him? chlorinated chicken will not affect uk food safety.admit ijust think rose, what is chlorinated chicken?! this is something they do in the us to get rid of all salman eller and bugs,is to get rid of all salman eller and bugs, is that right? it is about the way in which they make sure that things like salman ella cannot get into the food change. we have a different approach. we try to stop salman ella at the source. and washing the chicken in chlorine is something that happens in the united states. this is now being conflated with our post brexit trade negotiations with the united states. if we go to that, which is actually theissue, if we go to that, which is actually the issue, it is whether or not we should start having the come into the uk that are not aligned in terms of our regulations we have at the moment stop it is actually about the trade negotiations again rather than just chicken. absolutely. chicken is a minor detail. but it is about the broader picture of how liam fox is negotiating trade deals behind—the—scenes. he cannot

the carcasses, but the issue is about animal welfare and this is the point from liam fox, that this isickens and chlorine. the problem in the us is that they have the chickens closer together with less ventilation so they are more likely to have diseases and that sort of thing that will require chlorination in the first place. absolutely, it's a host of issues surrounding trade and also the interesting thing is that he talks about wto standards, but actually, the us is increasingly threatening those as well. thank you. good to with us. and thank you for your company. that was business live. 6ood good morning. big changes in the weather over the next few days. it won't be as warm as it's been over the last few days and certainly in northern scotland temperatures yesterday up to 25.8 celsius, equalling the warmest day of the year so far. equalling the warmest day of the yearso far. high equalling the warmest day of the year so far. high pressure is moving its way north and east and that is allowing northern and easterly winds across the uk and that will bring cooler conditions and for so

the international trade secretary, liam fox, also saying that the prime minister had acted with equityional interest, the hallmark of her time in public life. and responding to the prime minister's tears at the end of the speech, heidi allen, saying why do we not see that emotion more? things could have been so emotion more? things could have been so different. reflecting what i think kevin maguire was saying, that perhaps she should have shown a more emotional side in public at an earlier stage in her premiership. andrea leadsom, who resigned from the cabinet on wednesday, another one widely expected to run for the leadership, saying on twitter that it was a very dignified speech by theresa may and an illustration of a total commitment to country and duty. she did her utmost and i wish her all the best. we can get more reaction from david mellor, who joins us now from central london. it was quite an emotional speech, especially at the end. did you feel a measure of sympathy for her as she announced her resignation? no. someone once wrote about the death of little nell, theresa may sho

i know liam fox was also unhappy about the idea mrs may had mooted about going to so called indicativehappy brexiteers. in a funny sort of way, it is striking they have been hanging on in there. it might rebound against them in a future leadership contest, because when you speak to brexiteer backbenchers, one of their bottom lines seems to be they are not keen on anyone hanging on in cabinet, because it suggests people too willing to go on with the accommodations of mrs may. what follows is we are probably looking ata follows is we are probably looking at a brexiteer replacement for mrs may, and quite probably a brexiteer from outwith the cabinet. all of those who stuck in there, their hands are tainted in the blood. but a lot of them did hang in. norman, for the moment, thank you. it's a beautiful, sunny day in downing street, but it could also be a day off history. we expect a statement from the prime minister outlining her departure from downing street. but we will bring you much more. for the moment, we will say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. welcome to viewers on bbc one. i am ben

look at where labour is on the customs union and listen to what liam fox is saying.the table so deal and to take this off the table so that good councillors do not lose their seats because people are so angry we did not deliver brexit on the 29th of march. it was the prime minister's job the 29th of march. it was the prime minister'sjob to do the 29th of march. it was the prime minister's job to do that and it is her government that is failing to get to that place. people in parliament have not been able to come together and decide on a way forward and have for all sorts of reasons convinced themselves and their position is right, whether it is those who want to deny a referendum and have a second referendum and have a second referendum because people are stupid, or those on the other side who have basically rejected the prime minister's deal. surely you accept it is a failure of leadership. of course people have had entrenched positions for a long time, but what that counsellor said it was almost a direct echo of what the sunderland council leader said, people could

we were just hearing from liam fox, saying this is not the game of thrones, but it is a leadership contesthich starts now. who are the latest contenders? jeremy hunt, the latest contenders? jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, confirming in his constituency this morning that he will be a contender. not a surprise. we were expecting that he would throw his hat in the ring but has done so formally within hours of the prime minister's announcement. he has been projecting himself as a remain supporter who understands that brexit has to happen. a born again brexiteer. the challenge for him with grassroots membership is whether or not they can look beyond the fact he backed the remain because. two candidates go through having been backed by mps. is it likely to be a brexiteer and then a remain? what is the answer? they will definitely be a brexiteer, the question is whether it will be two brexiteers or a brexiteer and a remain supporter. plenty say they are former remain supporters but they back the result of the referendum so they will be a lot of contest around the labels that get thrown around

in the last couple of hours we have heard from the international trade secretary liam fox.tray them is a dangerous act on the part of the labour party. huge questions for the main parties and there's a sense that both are grappling with where they go next on brexit after those results in the european elections. the conservatives being pulled by the membership perhaps a harder position over the next few weeks, and attem pts over the next few weeks, and attempts from the membership in the labour party to take them towards another referendum. divisions here are as entrenched as ever. nick, thanks forjoining us. we have now beenjoined by sir patrick mcloughin, the former conservative party chairman. what are your thoughts on what the party needs to do? a lot of soul searching after the european election results. jeremy hunt saying that pursuing a no—deal brexit would be political suicide because it would mean an early election. what he is right in saying is that it is essential we deliver brexit. looking at parliament as it is constituted at parliament as it is constituted at t
