the "times of london" is london's most powerful newspaper.hey said, we want to interview papadopoulos. i said that's fine. the campaign said you should do it. i said, ok. i began to talk with them and and that is when the sensationalized headline came out about -- at the time, the u.k. prime minister was essentially disparaging candidate trump, calling him an idiot or a moron for his proposal of a muslim man and other proposals, whether the u.k. liked it or not, there was a lot of support for that in this country. that is why president trump -- or candidate trump was talking about it. and he changed and modified things, but as a candidate you just throw ideas out. nevertheless, it is not another government's business, especially an ally, to public we disparage a candidate for any idea. basically, the "times of london" asked, do you think he should apologize to candidate trump? i said something along the lines of, "yes, he should." the same night that happened, piers morgan calls me at 11:59 p.m. -- did you read the headline in the "times"? i

asa london really that much of a lure? as a londoner, it is.g conversation which has been going on even before the referendum, what effect will brexit have on the city of london? and there were have on the city of london? and there we re concerns have on the city of london? and there were concerns and estimates that tens of thousands ofjobs would leave and immediately be transferred to those cities. what we are seeing here are modest numbers being transferred by major american banks to banking sectors within the eu as a contingency after we leave. city, one of the major banks, is taking a tough line with the 63 people due to move in the first quarter. so we're not talking about the tens of thousands that might been predicted. cities like frankfurt, if you are lucky enough like me to commute in london, regularly, you will see adverts on the tube for frankfurt, the city to move to. there has been a concerted effort, especially by paris and the french government, to try and move significant amounts of financial servicesjobs try and move significan

the fate that befell ralph in london is what might have befallen franklin if he stayed in london andied to become a man of letters . >> and last question, where did franklin learn diplomacy? >> that's a very good question. his talent for it did develop. i think one source for it would have been the fact that he was involved in diplomacy with the native americans in the 1750s because the native americans were becoming more difficult and fraught in pennsylvania so that was one possibility. he was an retrograde of history in sorts, he would have learned something there. his motive in pennsylvania wouldn't have reached much of the skills he needed. he would have observed things in london because during his period he would have met and did me the various diplomats in london between 1757 and 1775 when he came home is very impressive to some extent, he did just had a kind of native, but you have to remember he became an active diplomat and had a great experience of having been a newspaper editor and journalist and if you're a resident journalist, you do have the scope to acquire an enormous

caroline davies, bbc london news.nths has been dominated by the twists and turns of brexit. reality check correspondent chris morris has been getting to the bottom of the technicaljargon. today he takes a look at the irish border backstop. you may have heard about the backstop. it is a baseball term really, so what does it have to do with brexit? think in terms of the safety net and you get the general idea. the backstop is key to talks over the future of the irish border after brexit. why? because this line between the irish republic and northern ireland will be the only land border between the uk and the european union. that matters for trade because in theory there should be checks on stuff crossing the border after brexit. but no—one wants new inspections at the border, they'd bring back memories of 30 years of conflict in northern ireland. checkpoints could become a target. the uk and the eu hope to agree a trade relationship in the future that keeps the border as open as it is now. but if they can't, or if there

i have a great position for you in london. i love london and i said, yeah. let's move from brussels to london. and then all of the shady things started to happen. they take me to meetings with the czechs, talking about policies in dubai and what is my view with expertise in the european union or it was inviting me to another -- to secret symposium in tripoli which of course it doesn't sound safe when you say secret. you can't know what is going on. but you have to go and fight for human rights. okay. so i did attend. you would never see the same person in the same room for two days. >> so you travel and you're flying discretely keeping a low profile? >> well, i simply -- >> with them, i mean. >> just went to rome and i went to brussels but i didn't want to go to tripoli. i was scared to death. they didn't tell me what it was about and they wanted to send me to the middle east all of the time. my experience was somebody who has tied with italy -- italian government at a high level and working in the middle east and i never understood why. and they were so sha

there were disorders in london. in general the british government appears to believe at that point there was a rising tide of unrest and lawlessness which was endemic in the world they occupied. to be honest, this is the part i suggest in the book, actually that's the way they saw this. they tended to see what was going on in boston as simply part and parcel, the general tendency towards deck dance and crime and also sided with john wilkes. the greatest political issue in britain immediately prior had been an issue of john wilkes, as he became lord mayor of london, the great english radical who is regarded as public enemy number three and associated wilkes and the americans together as partly centric and not unrealistic because the americans and wilkes were talking to each other. two of wilkes' closest friend are the virginians living in london at the time. i think that was the tendency to regard this as being part and parcel of the rising crime and lawlessness which had to be tackled at whatever the cost. >> thank

navteonhal, bbc news, london euston. trump has blamed the federal reserve for the ongoing turmoil in the us financial markets, saying the only problem the american economy had was the fed itself. his comments came as the dowjones industrial average fell in half day trading today. the markets have just closed and the dowjones closed down 2.9% after several days of losses. in that highly critical tweet president trump said: samira hussain is in new york for us. thank you forjoining us. aside from resident trump describing it in golfing terms, those falls today, down over 2.9% are pretty dramatic. iam afraid down over 2.9% are pretty dramatic. i am afraid i am out of my depth by trying to explain any of those golf references but i can talk about the us financial markets and what we have seen in this half—day trading. 0n have seen in this half—day trading. on sunday we saw that the treasury secretary steve mnuchin released a statement indicating that he had spoken to six of america's biggest banks and those banks have enough
