so when mr raab comes back here next week saying he is look up looking to wrap up the negotiations thew do you avoid border controls in ireland? damian grammaticas in brussels, thank you. fewer people are coming to live and work in the uk from other european union countries. the latest figures show net migration from the eu — that's the difference between those arriving and leaving — has fallen to its lowest level for more than five years. but net migration from outside the eu is higher than at any point since 2004. the british woman, nazanin zaghari ratcliffe, who's been imprisoned in iran for more than two years, has been temporarily released. her family says she's been freed from jail in tehran for three days and has already been reunited with her daughter. she was convicted of spying — a charge she denies. caroline hawley reports. a first family photo of freedom. imagine the moment after nearly two years in prison, eight months of them in solitary confinement. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was still in her bed clothes this morning when she was given ten minutes to get ready to leave ja

mr hammond's comments camejust hours after the brexit secretary, dominic raab, played down the likelihooding the eu without a deal. 0ur political correspondent tom barton is in westminster for us this morning. tom, sequence of events, the brexit secretary's announcement yesterday, the chancellor weighing in with some thoughts late in the day, it now what? this isn't the first time that philip hammond has drawn fire from brexit supporters within the conservative party. in this letter which was sent to the commons treasury committee yesterday like you say just hours treasury committee yesterday like you sayjust hours after dominic rabo had been talking down the prospect of a no—deal brexit, he warned, the chancellor, he want no deal could see economic output fall by between 5% and 10% —— raab. that is over 15 years. and if it happened it would cost the treasury £80 billion a year and they would need to borrow the money to fill the black hole, but that warning, that the impact could last over the long—term, one and a half decades, is in marked contrast to what dominic raab was saying, launch

mr raab insisted an agreement is the most likely option but says it's important "practical" preparationsolitical correspondent, tom barton, is in westminster. not for the first time, a war of words with green brexiteers on the tory backbenchers and the chancellor of the exchequer. it is a relatively common sight. the hard brexiteers who are suspicious of philip hammond, the chancellor, and the treasury, seeing them as pushing for the softest brexit possible. yesterday, in the letter to the commons treasury committee, philip hammond raised warnings really about the damage that the treasury says no—deal brexit could potentially do to the economy, saying that after 15 yea rs to the economy, saying that after 15 years the economy could be 5% to 10% smaller than it otherwise would have been. and that, he says, could cost the treasury as much as £80 billion a year in extra borrowing. that letter drew criticism from brexiteers but, david liddington, the cabinet office minister this morning told the today programme this was really, in his view, a row about nothing because the analysis that phili

mr. raaby those projections from chancellor hammond won't come through either are we facing a division >> it's not a willingness to be no deal, we want there to be a good deal. but our european partners should understand if we don't get a good deal, then -- and we have to walk away, we would that's not an outcome that is in either interest. >> just want to talk about your meeting in china as well it seems that both you and the chinese commerce ministry worked towards a topnotch trade deal. we know you can't commit to anything until the brexit process is complete, but do you have concerns about businesses operating in china specifically when it comes to intellectual property transfers >> i think if you look at the chinese market and the uk's export pattern with china, you can see where the difficulties lie. if you look at the united states, you can see 55% of uk exports to the united states are services it's about 50/50 globally for services and goods for the uk. in china it's 82% goods, 18% se

as you say, throughout the whole document and from mr raab this morning, never says that the governmentofjust how integrated the uk has been with the eu and the task of detaching ourselves. if we leave the european union under no deal, the european union under no deal, the uk will have to find its own pictures to put on cigarette packets that include the health warnings that include the health warnings that we read on cigarette packets. why, because the current pictures of the copyright of the european commission. a trivial detail, easily overcome, but it reminds of the extent of the on picking that has to be done. lets hearfrom dominic raab. while we are striving from a good outcome, we stand ready to deliver a brexit for the british people there is no deal the backer i'm managing and mitigating the risks by rising to the challenges and seizing the origin sees that lie ahead. i think in reality, many of the no—deal challenges will affect the eu in similaror same challenges will affect the eu in similar or same ways. for our parts, if negotiations fail, we would continue to pay, as a re

mr raab said there had been progress on some issues, but there remain significant gaps he said on the of the future relationship. 0ur brussels correspondent adam fleming gave us the latest on the talks a short time ago. the unresolved issues that existed a couple of weeks ago still exist and night. when it comes to the withdrawal agreement, the treaty that was would seal the terms of departure, there is no agreement on a back—up plan to avoid the reintroduction of customs checks on the border between northern ireland and the republic and when it comes to the separate documents, so—called political declaration that will set out in the future relationship between the eu and uk and the eu has still got questions about the uk proposals when it comes to a single rule book for industrial goods and agricultural products that will span both sides, also be complicated customs arrangements the uk proposes, those questions still exists. there will have to be solutions found both those things by the end of october or beginning of november because that is the deadline set by both sides because the

mr raab explained to the house of lords eu committee how negotiations were progressing and said he wasovides reassurance, is that actually most of that is detail rather than on principle issues and i think the contours of the agreement are there. on top of the withdrawal agreement, obviously we agreed the terms of the indentation period, that is important for business certainty but also for some finality to the process for the average citizen who looks on and wonders how long this will all go on for. there is also theissue will all go on for. there is also the issue of the northern ireland protocol and i would say whilst we have not got a definitive solution to that yet, you will have seen, your committee will have seen, the proposal by the eu and proposals put forward and our shared commitment forward and our shared commitment for the undertakings of the joint report back in december. on the future relationship, on the economic partnership, yes, we have had questions but not a dismissal on the principle grounds of a new relationship. there has been a focus on security corporation and

uk's brexit secretary dominic raab denies there is any tension between his delegation and that of the eu s chief negotiator michel barnier. according to some media reports, mrnment says it now wants to speed up the process and meet more regularly to go through the details of the prime ministers new brexit plan. both sides say they still hope to find a way through the impasse by the end of the year. let's speak to ryan heath from politico. you wrote a piece for politico the other week that said i wean out at peak michel barnier? there is no doubt, despite the words of dominic raab today, that there are real tension is developing between the british side and michel barnier? tension is developing between the british side and michel barnier7m general there have been tensions throughout this process. the eu has a lwa ys throughout this process. the eu has always been agreed and saddened by the uk's decision to leave and they feel frustrated that david davis in their eyes was not taking the negotiations seriously enough. dominic raab gave fresh impetus to the negotiations, but the eu says it is here to negotiate around the clock and dominic raab still deals with
