mrs. may actually gets a slightly stronger position and when i say minutes, i mean minutes because you can measure the speed of political events in minutes at times like this just to restate the fact, we haven't seen two cabinet ministers resign in 24 hours since 1982 as well arguably mr. davis and mr. johnson will both be marginalized in any way within cabinet. whether they were in the cabinet or behind the scenes, whether mrs. may splits the brexiteers, that will remain to be seen. that is the pure mass that mrs. may is working on to get a deal through and, indeed, of course to keep her job as well because it needs to go to the 1922 committee which could force a no confidence vote and of those 48 votes we don't believe they have come forward as of yet because key brexiteers, dominic raab who is the new brexit ministry are all at the moment in government. let's see what mrs. may has been saying in parliament in the last 24 hours. >> what we are proposing is challenging for the e.u. it require

on brexit publicly trashing mrs may's approach, extolling the virtues of borisjohnson as a putative parter. but it is more than about brexit. —— a putative prime minister. his remarks show disregard for theresa may as a leader and that impact on her stature, her authority, has standing on the world. so whatever the metaphorical arm donald trump puts around theresa may at the news conference, the danger is many people will conclude in private the american president does have a dismissive approach to mrs may's approach to brexit and a dismissive view of theresa may as prime minister. thank you. norman smith outside chequers in buckinghamshire. president trump's public intervention over the government's brexit plans, took everyone by surprise, and for some called into question the so called ‘special relationship, between america and the uk. since entering the white house he hasn't been afraid to dispense with diplomatic niceties, speaking bluntly. but the foreign office minister alan duncan brushed off his latest comments, saying the president is "a controversialist, that's his style." her

i think mrs may will have had discussions with others, with mrs merkel, junker and others, to get whats possible and what is not possible. mrs merkel will stick to the negotiation line of the european union agreed by 27 nations and the european parliament and commission and therefore mrs may will understand the negotiations in future, where it might be easier to find an agreement. i don't want to sound cynical but if you look at the broad outline of mrs may's plan, she was to maintain frictionless, free trade in goods, playing by the eu rulebook as she says. but she doesn't expect the same, for example, from services, including financial services. i can't imagine an arrangement more likely to please you lot in germany. it means your car manufacturers for example continue unfettered trade exports to the very big market in the uk, while your financial services sector in frankfurt can expect to pick up a great deal of business from the city of london because there is no deal on services. it strikes me that this isa on services. it strikes me that this is a deal that germany might as well

in motion a but there's still the possibility that there will be a challenge to the leadership of mrs may of the conservative party and the person to challenge could well be mr johnson himself the now former u.k. foreign minister boris johnson he released a statement a short while ago he wrote that it was with sadness that he had stepped down from his role as board minister he said that may's softer negotiating position meant that the brakes it dream was dying in referring to the plan to remain closely aligned to certain e.u. laws joe johnson wrote that the u.k. was headed for the status of colony. you know she said that she was a little surprised over johnson's resignation she thought that she had support for her negotiating plan so where did this come from. i. thought that she had hammered out a deal with a cabinet just on friday last week that basically says we want the you to give us a free trade deal or free trade zone and she was surprised that then two senior ministers said no to that after only a few days. but now she will follow this approach and she will issue of white paper on

some better news for mrs may this morning.an survive another week? of course! you know, she's a good prime minister. the fact we have a difference of opinion doesn't change that. and i presume the way you'll be voting today goes without saying? i'll be supporting the government on the bill and on the customs union elements where there's a challenge to them, but i'll also probably support one of the amendments on ensuring that northern ireland is not separated from great britain. in any event, that's government policy, but it'll do no harm putting it into the bill. so, david davis is not going to be waiting around with a broken cricket bat. unlike geoffrey howe. on the less good news site for theresa may, another ministerial resignation. a chap by the name of scott mann has thrown himself overboard. by my calculation, that is the ninth resignation from the government since david davis dotted the whole ball rolling. that is just over one resignation per day. on top of this, we await to see what one boris johnson does. we're told

does that mean you back the blueprint of mrs may?e process of compromise, finding a way through. but my priority is simplicity of trading with what is, after all, easily our biggest trading partner. 44% of exports go to the eu, we simply can't just fall out of that trading market without a deal, without an arrangement. it is not on. we need frictionless trade and simplicity of passing goods across our borders. the british people did not vote two herds big companies like bmw, abbas and so on, they did not vote to hurt... harm jobs. —— and so on, they did not vote to hurt... harmjobs. —— big companies like bmw and serve. they wanted to protect jobs, it is like bmw and serve. they wanted to protectjobs, it is the job of the prime minister and the government to get behind that. i was a conservative leave voter and now i am with the liberal democrats, which seems like a strange ship tojump on. why did you change? i felt that i represented a significant proportion of leave voters who thought i want to leave and get something that countries

so he said yes, mrs may got it wrong.e done it better, and most importantly, if we continue with the chequers deal, as it were, then no deal with the usa. you have to wonder if this came up over dinner at blenheim palace. i amjust wondering at 10pm if people started checking their phones and seeing this story come in. it couldn't be more awkward for the uk government. this is the most explosive interview, and well done to tom for getting this for the son. i have to wonder who trump is speaking to, whether it is too buoyed up british brexiteers. he is certainly not speaking to angela merkel or macron, and really he has managed to make wrecks at all about himself but also raise his grievance that he has with the eu over the aluminium and steel tariffs. and ijust think it is remarkable that brexit is now trump's view. the word wide ranging is perhaps too often used to describe an interview but looking at these two pages in front of me here, he is talking about europe, the nhs, and england football shirt, and sadiq khan, the

his comments emerged as mrs may hosted a dinner for advice. a dinnerfor him at blenheim palace in 0xfordshire. she used to be opportunity to make the case for a future trade arrangement with the united states. 0ver arrangement with the united states. over the past month, the world cup has brought work to a halt in many places around the world as people watch their national teams in action, so what impact as this football extravaga nza action, so what impact as this football extravaganza had on the russian economy and on the world stage in general? let's take a look. the world cup and its impact on the russian economy. in other business news, workers at a fiat chrysler facility in italy are protesting after its main investor decided to pay over 100 million us dollars to sign football star cristiano ronaldo tojuventus. both the football club and the carmaker are controlled by the same family and the workers say the firm needs to guarantee the future of thousands of people rather than only in reaching one person. let's have a quick look at the ma

davies as mrs may prepares to face mps and peers.n as mrs may prepares to face mps and peers. boris johnson has as mrs may prepares to face mps and peers. borisjohnson has given his backing to the prime minister to using crude language to criticise the proposal. as you can see here and there has been a reaction to that news in early trade. the uk sterling has slipped against the us dollar following news of the resignations which has also put the future of the uk prime minister, theresa may, in doubt and we will follow that story for you on bbc news all day. chinese internet giant 10 cents has submitted a proposal to list its online music entertainment business separately on an american stock exchange. they confirmed the proposed spin—off in a statement that did not reveal the size of the offering zero which market in the us they intend to register with. on to what you can expect this week in terms of economic events on the calendar. it kicks off with an initial public offering today. xiaomi will begin trading and the share value is $

but you know, predicted to be the record—breaker for mrs may. ly mail, particularly buried right down in the bottom," from lord's by sir, —— a quote from lord spicer, saying it may be time for the conservative party to split into two. that is a remarkable admission and it's really something that has haunted the tories since the days of mrs thatcher and her no, no, tories since the days of mrs thatcherand her no, no, no, tories since the days of mrs thatcher and her no, no, no, to jacques delors and thenjohn major swearing about the people in his cabinet, it did for david cameron in the end. michael howard, iain duncan smith, william hague, you name it, they've all been brought down by europe. and this idea that they may be split into two, and of course that was cameron's great hope, that the referendum would unite the tory party, kill off ukip and bring those right—wingers back into the fold, now right—wingers are saying, well, no, maybe we do need a separate part because mrs may has sold out. it's intriguing, lord spicer, so michael spicer, it u

all this topping off a challenging week the mrs may.ith the us hits a record high, will it add fuel to the trade war between the world‘s two biggest economies. european markets are open and it looks positive for now. and it has been a big week in the world of economics, we will be talking to andrew walker about the week that was. and today, as twitter‘s latest crackdown on fake accou nts twitter‘s latest crackdown on fake accounts means many celebrities are seeing follower numbers diminish, does it matter how many followers you have? let us know, just use the hashtag #bbcbizlive. hello, and a very warm welcome to the programme. we start with president trump, who will be talking trade with prime minister theresa may at her country residence chequers later this friday. on thursday night she entertained him and business leaders from both sides of the atlantic at a lavish dinner at blenheim palace where she made the case for a free trade deal between the us and uk. she called it an unprecedented opportunity to do more transatlantic business

mrs may's proposal was approved by the cabinet on friday. nior brexit minister, steve baker, has also stepped down. mr davis, who's been in thejob since 2018, says the policy could leave the uk in a "weak" and "inescapable" negotiating position. this is what he told the radio 4's today programme this morning. this policy has got a number of weaknesses, and it is not as though it is somebody else's responsibility which i can share, i would be front and centre delivering this policy, explaining it to the house, persuading the house it was right, then delivering it with the european union, and frankly, just as it was known that what the policy was, it was also known that i had concerns about it, it would not have been a plausible thing to do, and i would not have done a good job. one of the things i said to the prime minister is i hope you are right and i am wrong, but if that is the case, the best person to do this is someone who believes in it, not me. let's talk to our political correspondent chris mason. what does this mean, chris?m what doe

make to him mr trump may be unhinged but he is not unconstrained and he has congress and also part of his own parts of his own administration that are deeply distrustful of any outreach to mr putin any deals that that could be made for europeans of course this is a terrible situation to see these two europeans congregate and tash out plans that could very much be harmful to europeans at the same time it's a reminder that we europeans need to come up with our own agenda because of the russia german foreign minister mark has talked about in the new austerity that we need to devise what's our vision for european security order and that includes russia for outreach to to russia for dealing with russia i think it's a reminder that we shouldn't leave that to trump and martin but that we need to make our own policies on that front. the. the americans say that the russians are not truly reliable when it comes to reducing the nuclear warheads the russians all the other other hand accuse nature of the americas of expanding east words towards russia how can they put tensely make

newspaper had failed to include in its story all the wonderful things that he had in fact said about mrs maythe interview that mrtrump did with all seen, heard the interview that mr trump did with the political editor of the sun newspaper and, he said what he said, he was highly critical of mrs may's approach to brexit and i suspect privately many mps take the view that he was speaking what he truly believed. this afternoon, the name of the game was damage limitation. and the way to limit the damage was to just say fa ke to limit the damage was to just say fake news, then so be it, as he coupled that with huge dollops of praise the theresa may. and when he talks about fake news, of course normally it is to cover up some of the things he has said he which he doesn't want to be publicised further. in fact he talked again today about america being the biggest contributor to nato and paying in 90%, which is fake news in itself. he talked again about the commitments he got from european leaders to put more money into the pot, but there has been some pushback from that in europe, and i was interes

the resignation of mrjohnson has fuelled more speculation about the future of mrs may's leadership.l fight any attempt to oust her. the latest events have taken place just days after the prime minister secured a ha rd—won agreement in cabinet — on the brexit process. mr davis said he couldn't support theresa may's latest brexit plan — saying it gave away too much to the eu too quickly. but the prime minister who's due to meet conservative mps in the next hour — told the commons her approach was the right one. and the only practical one for the uk ifjobs were to be secured. were to be secured. labour say the government is in chaos. a very divisive atmosphere here at westminster, you can probably hear some campaigners shouting about the brexit process. what is the latest from chris mason, we might we see the latest from the foreign secretary? i am outside carlton gardens, the official residence of the foreign secretary. there is a stakeout going on here since 730 this morning. in the last couple of minutes, one of his official cars left. he is no longer in the government so left. he i

mrjohnson‘s resignation has fuelled serious speculation about the future of mrs may's leadership.ay's events took place just three days after the prime minister secured a hard—won agreement in cabinet on the shape of the brexit process.

the guardian reports mrs may is going to push for a trade deal with the united states the financial timesthe city might suffer as a result of the government's brexit plan the express claims conservative mps were ‘in revolt‘ against their own leader over the plan so those were the front pages, let's take a look at some of them in more detail. lets kick—off with the telegraph and what it is saying about donald trump. absolutely. donald trump is coming to the uk like the world went today. he is causing all kinds of news. the big story emerging this evening is that donald trump is giving his opinion on brexit. he is saying that theresa may's brexit, is not the kind of brexit that voters wanted. he is basically pooh—poohing the idea and i am really struggling to how he knows the first thing about it, to be honest. how he had studied this. i would be surprised if he has gone into detail. he learned about brexit in the last couple days, he said. to dismiss it in this way, so thoroughly, i think you have got to think here who easy listening to? who are his sounding board? he be taking some inspir

in their response so far, people around mrs may have been saying that things have been going a lot betterdn't had a chance to see the white paper. theresa may will be able to give him a full briefing on it. i don't think any of that detracts from the pretty brutal way he seemed ready to criticise the prime minister in public. let's get a view now from the conservative mp sarah wollaston. sarah, what do you make of president trump's remarks, not in terms of brexit, but in terms of how he views our prime minister?” terms of brexit, but in terms of how he views our prime minister? i think he views our prime minister? i think he has been deeply insulting. talking about boris johnson for example. even worse than that, the dog whistle politics about immigration are entirely inappropriate. 0f immigration are entirely inappropriate. of course theresa may will continue to extend a polite welcome to him in his capacity as the president of the united states but i think she should pretty much tell him where he can stick his dog whistle. it is appalling. should she, i mean, it is going to be a difficu

from sources in the german government is they are not supportive of this new customs proposal that mrs. maylue to germany to discuss with angela merkel. she hoped to come back with encouragement. maybe not a big yes but may be a, well, we can talk about this -- it doesn't seem that will happen. no support from the german side. this morning, we started with her own negotiator rejecting the same plan, saying it was unworkable, and this afternoon, more companies added to the list saying that planning for the worst eventuality, and they are worried about the hit from brexit. getting it from all sides really, mrs. may, and tomorrow, there is a big cabinet meeting and not really knowing the agreement to be reached and if the proposal is dead on arrival. mark: could it lead to people storming out of the meeting, possible resignations, or has that been tempted? david: we have had threats in the past with mr. davis talking or making the threat that he was willing to resign if there were red lines across. that did not happen. we have not seen any of the arch brexiteers step down from their jobs early

today, mrs may stood in belfast and said, unacceptable, the eu's proposal. e has to be one and it has to be legally workable or there is no agreement and the uk crashes out. he is concerned about that, the eu 27 ministers are concerned, those here today. we heard from them, they said they are increasingly worried that there could be this know deal chaotic brexit and mr barnier turned to that white paper and he did poke holes in it. he said that he simply could not see, he had questions about how that was compatible with the eu's single market. some real questions and real difficulties, i think, for the negotiations. from brussels, thank you. hot on the heels of his controversial talks in helsinki with the russian president, president trump has invited president putin for a summit at the whitehouse. the news has taken many by surprise in washington. not least, the us head of intelligence, who was told while he was being interviewed on stage at a security conference. from washington, gary o'donoghue reports. one week on and, still, we don't know what these two

so with two cabinet ministers gone when mrs may got up to speak the commons, she faced some prolongedfrom opposition mps. she paid tribute to her departing cabinet ministers. we do not agree with the direction but i want to recognise the work for the work he did did establish a new department. and steer through some of the most important legislation for generations. and similarly to recognise the passion of the former foreign secretary demonstrated in promoting... in promoting... order, order! i want to hear about these important matters. and i think the house showed. the prime minister. she said the friction free movement of goods was the only way it is a proposal that would take back control our borders, oui’ money and oui’. but do so in a way that protects jobs, allows us to strike new trade deals through an integrated trading policy, and keys our people safe and our union together stoplight mrs may said that at the heart of the plan was a free—trade area. which would avoid customs and regulatory checks the border. she said the friction free movement of goods was the only way to av

we haven't even tried though in his resignation speech and let's say he did give mrs may credit for her attempts at trying to secure this breaks that deal but you also had scathing critical. i'm saying that her method of doing things would leave britain in a miserable limbo almost a colony of the e.u. and saying that it wasn't too late to save bricks speculation has been rife for quite some time now that the role of the u.k.'s top diplomat wasn't enough for johnson that he's aiming for the top job in british politics being a prime minister he certainly seems to have the polls on his side and also indorsements from donald trump for example the american president he said that boris johnson would do a great job as prime minister given the recent protests against his visit it's sure whether this is more of a blow or a boost to the credibility there. a german football star of turkish descent he's retiring from the national team saying he feels on wanted in his own country that's after months of severe criticism and backlash over one photo in particular. the national anthem the cools and one

we saw him yesterday making up to mrs may.s him when he gets to up every morning, it is very difficult to say. as adam said, he is not entirely wrong about brexit and he is not entirely wrong about so many other issues. his national security adviserjohn bolton, when he was in london weeks ago the pairing for this trip, said something that clearly predated the brexit white paper. theresa may seem to be heading towards some sort of soft deal with the eu in which actually we will remain pretty closely aligned with the eu. we heard about 17.4 million people who have voted for brexit. decades of my life abroad outside of the uk and see how much we stand to lose if we do not protect our nation's identity, but we do not hear so much about the 16.1 million people who voted to remain and it seems to me that we have forgotten about this. in democracy, there is the will of the majority but also respect for the majority but also respect for the minority. and theresa may is staring at an extremely difficult course in which she has come up

quite ha rd me, now mrs may is using some quite hard tactics to get her team onside.nside, the country to come together even with her plan? this is shambolic! it is treasonable, in my view, to behave in this way, for the tory party to behave this way and the labour to do nothing. the public are used as foot soldiers in the bottle, the internal tory bottle, but i agree. i agree with yasmin, the labour party have just hidden, and there is moral cowardice on the pa rt and there is moral cowardice on the part of the labour front bench is, because they should be challenging brexit everyday and challenging austerity which has created a situation which has led people in this country to vote on the misguided basis. let's have a look at the financial times. this is about iran and sanctions, and it says the us dashes europe's hopes of relief from iran sanctions.|j says the us dashes europe's hopes of relief from iran sanctions. i think this is one of the simmering stories which is one of the most frightening things going on in the world today. i think, i things going on in the

the express does the same, while carrying a big picture of mr trump holding mrs may's hand. e crowds that came out to protest against the visit. and the telegraph carries an interview with one of mr trump's former advisors who says that, perhaps unsurprisingly, mr trump told mrs may to be "tough," in her negotiations with the eu so some different takes on the presidential visit on the front pages. let's take a look at some of them in more detail. we will begin with a did he or didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't criticise the prime minister, thatis didn't criticise the prime minister, that is fake news, says trump. welcome anybody who read the interview in the sun, that exclusive which seemed to have taken members of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in it. of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in itm was hard not to see criticism. i don't know how the president defines that term. to suggest the prime minister is a wrecking brexit is certainly a comment on what has happened so far and

mrs may has thanked the former minister for mrs may has thanked the former ministerfor his service mrsexit negotiations, and he said he felt the prime minister's policies we re felt the prime minister's policies were undermining wrecks that negotiations with brussels. that's all for now. stay with bbc world news. well, it's been another glorious weekend. if you do like your weather hot, dry and sunny, just some subtle changes in the weather, i think, as we head over the next few days. some more cloud and things will turn a little bit cooler, too. but here was the picture on a sunny afternoon in wiltshire. beautiful blue skies and not a cloud around. bit of fair weather cloud here and there are through the week, quickly things will turn cooler and cloudier but staying largely dry and temperatures picking up once again into the latter part the week. but we start the new week with high pressure still in charge. a weak cold front will be just heading its way south across the country, introducing some slightly cooler conditions initially to the north and further south. so, on monday, it won

so you have a say haven't had a reaction or heard reaction from mrs may what might she be thinking as you mentioned she's going through this domestic turmoil right now to overtop ministers specifically relating to brags that one of them resigned their post just a few days ago and now doll. basically siding with them and saying you know what her plan as he calls it a soft brags it isn't going to work and he even made threats about the fact that the u.k. and the united states were potentially then perhaps not have a free trade deal i think that she is the true professional in this and actually she has no choice she has to be she has to keep the smile she is an awkward politician she doesn't have that touch of the people that other politicians do such as boris johnson but she is professional she has an aim here she wants in some way to try to secure some kind of trade deal with the u.s. once the u.k. has left the she wants to talk to him about issues such as the middle east russia and those are important to her and that is what she will be aiming for i you know i'm sure that dunning stre

mrs may saying it was a good outcome and it gave us most of what we wanted.peerless in what he does. it sums up what people are feeling, and there are concessions everywhere. the party is in absolute turmoil, as donald trump says. civil war, people handing in resignations, and mrs may saying it is a great outcome. as you are leaving for a foreign trip a new comment on someone else's internal domestic policy, come on. comment on someone else's internal domestic policy, come onlj comment on someone else's internal domestic policy, come on. i am not saying it was great, just that that is what he said. we are in turmoil. people have their own ways. france is trying to nick all our banks. talking of which... seamless. on the front page of the financial times, keep disagreeing. theresa may teachers hope of keeping city in tight tie—up with eu after brexit. philip hammond said the one area he wa nted philip hammond said the one area he wanted to stay close to brussels was neutral recognition. and michel barnier said you cannot have your ca ke barnier said you cannot

we have mrs. may flying to germany to speak to mrs. merkel.man government sources telling us the arrangement isn't going to fly. that perhapssense this proposal is dead on arrival. francine: what do you make of brexit? jim: i thought it would be a very soft brexit. we are in that state at the moment. i agree with david that none of them are going to resign, or if they do, it will be one or two. they don't want to precipitate the fall of the government and jeopardize their position. francine: what it not give boris johnson a bigger chance of becoming prime minister further down the line? jim: boris johnson is a clever man, but he really has shot himself in the foot so many times. i don't think his chances of being prime minister exist at all. i don't know about you, david, but i think he's a dead duck in that respect. he will probably want to be foreign secretary. i do think we are moving towards a very soft brexit. the european union has many other problems. they want to solve those much more so than brexit. nothing fundamentally will change.

the first sign of their being tough opposition and mrs may crumbling.all the signs that the tory party is facing at the very least an absolutely devastating internal clash and maybe even splitting.” absolutely devastating internal clash and maybe even splitting. i am just going to explain the noises of a little girl called hannah, who we are going to speak to in a moment if you can hear some crying and screaming, it is just because she is not used to this kind of scenario. there was a reference that david davis made about geoffrey howe. geoffrey howe began the catalogue of events that led to the fall of mrs thatcher. he went into the house of commons after resigning from the cabinet and gave a speech which basically signalled to all the other tory mps that he, who had been alongside misses that chip through all her years in government, no longer had faith in her. —— mrs thatcher. mrs thatcher sent him in with a broken cricket bat. you heard david davis saying i am no geoffrey howe. he will not make that sort of resignation statement but we await borisjo

mr. walker: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. walker: mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 1376, the electronic message preservation, introduced by the gentleman from maryland and ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, mr. cummings. the electronic message preservation act will ensure the federal government continues to take the necessary steps to modernize its risk record keeping. despite the significant shift to electronic communications over the last two decades, many federal agencies are just now moving away from a print to file method of electronic record preservation. using paper to preserve electronic records is inefficient, difficult to manage, difficult to search, and risks loss of the records. paper-based systems can also increase the cost to the taxpayer. at the end of 2016, the office of management and budget began requiring agencies to preserve records electronically if they were created electronically. this bill codifies that requ

mr. chairman, may i respond? >> briefly. >> sir, look, i never prejudged anything, not in this case, not in any others -- >> impeachment for what, agent strzok? >> mr. chairman, what are the rules here? what are the rules? >> the gentleman will allow the witness to answer the question and then we'll move on. >> second -- >> he wants to respond that it wasn't a question. >> he was given time to respond -- >> at the time i was a deputy assistant director. i have section chiefs, supervisors, agents people who do interviews not me. if something is notable or high level i might be involved but it would be rare if never that i would typically get out there and conduct interviews, first of all. second, you mentioned the use of the word impeachment, that was used in the context of my not knowing what this would lead to. i was not prejudging impeachment when i used that term it was saying it might be nothing, it might lead all the way to -- >> thank you agent strzok. are you kidding? >> the gentleman recognizes the gentlem

one or even two years ago on a personal level for mrs may it's warning that only sixteen percent of voters think she's doing a good job handling a brit negotiations over twice as many believe that boris johnson former foreign secretary would do a better job. it's a reason why has very low ratings in the polls the lowest since the previous election she's been hit with a series of ministerial resignations the loudest of which has been of course foreign secretary boris johnson and he certainly didn't choose to go quietly in the eighteen months that have followed it is as though a fog of so heart has descended it is not too late to save bricks we have time in these negotiations we have changed once and we can change again the problem is not that we failed to make the case for a free trade agreement of the kind of like as the house we haven't even tried though in his resignation speech and let's say he did give mrs may credit for her attempts at trying to secure this brics it deal but you also had scathing criticism saying that her method of doing things would leave britain in a miserable limbo

it was just that we hadn't reported the nice things he said about mrs. may we have. i said we have reported that, mr. president. which he said, okay, okay. did you do it in the headline. and on and on. >> the president denied they were criticisms. i had a chance to talk to you earlier today when you said you knew this interview, you had in your hands you had a wrapped up hand grenade. >> 12 wrapped up hand grenades, i think, but we had to run it in one edition. clearly we caught him in a good mood, a talkative mood, a combustive mood, i didn't expects it to blow apart the way it did. >> and he apologized. i mean, the fact that he apologized, what does that tell you about how he viewed what he said? >> i wonder whether he believed at any stage that there was anything wrong with our reporting whatsoever. there were a few caveats in the press conference, described us as gentlemen, and nothing with the particular report. it was a roller coaster of rage and then self-doubt. this is fascinating when you get hit with the fake news thing, it was my first time, just

mr. gowdy responds may i respond to mr. jordan. >> very briefly. >> sir i would love to do that, there is an appropriate time for oversight and that is at thend of an investigation once it's concluded and i am certain that congress will have the opportunity to look at any investigation once its closed and ask all of these questions and i would love to answer each and every one of your questions when the fbi allows me to -- >> we know that answer from you and you have been advised that you can answer the questions here because guess what, this is the united states congress where you are testifying, not under the jurisdiction of the federal bureau of investigation? >> mr. chairman we cannot be asked about an ongoing investigation that is sabotaging and that is what he is not cooperating with, and he cannot -- >> these questions are table setting questions regarding the foration of this and he can answer those questions. >> he cannot answer questions about an ongoing investigation? >> he has been advised by the fbi that he can

make to him mr trump may be unhinged but he is not unconstrained and he has congress and also part of his own parts of his own administration that are deeply distrustful of any outreach to mr putin any deals that that could be made for europeans of course this is a terrible situation to see these two europeans congregate and hash out plans that could very much be harmful to europeans at the same time it's a reminder that we europeans need to come up with our own agenda because of the russia german foreign minister mark has talked about in the new austerity then we need to devise what's our vision for european security order and that includes russia for outreach to to russia for dealing with russia i think it's a reminder that we shouldn't leave that to trump and martin but that we need to make our own policies on that front the. the americans say that the russians are not truly reliable when it comes to reducing the nuclear warheads the russians all the other other hand accuse nature of the americas of expanding east words towards russia how can they put tensely make

that will be a key, very important for mrs. mayve been talking about her and how difficult a position she is in politically she'll be hoping on wins on trade and defense as well. mrs. may mentioning in brils br. will be supporting the u.s. and putting for british troops on the ground in afghanistan. the president is going for tea tomorrow afternoon at windsor castle before going to helsinki. he'll go to scotland for a bit of golf. >> thank you, sedgwick talk to you in a little while. >>> all kinds of headlines on tariffs, nafta, kayla tausche is monitoring that for us. >> we're going on an hour of the secretary of the treasury being questioned on capitol hill every single member of congress that is on the house financial services committee has had a question about trade here's what the treasury secretary said about business uncertainty. >> for cnbc, does a survey of cfos of major u.s. companies and 65% have reported that they fear u.s. trade policy will negatively impact their firms over the next six months how does the administrat

on the eve of being greeted by mrs may, the sun printed an interview with donald trump, where he saidthe eu would make such a uk—us trade deal very unlikely. just for good measure, he added that he would like to meet up with the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, and added that he'd make a good prime minister. well, those comments caused outrage, as did the fact that the president was coming to the uk at all, with tens of thousands of protesters taking to the streets across the uk to object to the president's policies on migration and his attitude to women. while his visit had much of the formality and tradition of a state visit, it was described as a working trip. there was dinner with the prime minister and a group of business leaders, before a trip to windsor for a meeting with the queen and tea inside windsor castle. but not everyone thought the visit a great success. trump looks more comfortable straddling the world stage next to putin then he did beside the prime minister. how can she justify sabotaging our secure economic relationship with ourfriends in the eu, and curry f

i think mrs may has got to continue on the diplomatic front.hich is very much unlike trump, and not forget that the eu is our single biggest trading partner. that is the first thing. i certainly would not recommend that she uses language or toned like we see in the sun in the interview that donald trump has given overnight to the political editor. these quotes are extraordinary. if you look at the front page of the sun this morning, theresa may has wrecked brexit. the us deal is off. boris would be a great prime minister. migration is killing europe. terror is the fault of siddique khan. an interview like this generates more heat than light andi this generates more heat than light and i think that theresa may has to stay her course. she has no option. and who knows. donald trump is inconsistent with his message and we may well expect him later on today to look back on this visit, or maybe evenin to look back on this visit, or maybe even in the next few days and say that theresa may and i got along fine. to see what happens over the next 2a hour

today mrs may stood in belfast and said the eu's proposal was unacceptable.said there has to be one and it has to be "legally workable," otherwise there is no agreement and the uk crashes out. so he's concerned about that, the eu 27 ministers are concerned. we heard from them as well. they said they are growing increasingly worried that they could see this no deal chaotic brexit. michel barnier also turned to that white paper and he did poke holes in it. he said he simply couldn't see, or he had questions, about how it was compatible with the eu's single market. real questions and real difficulties for the negotiations. you can get more on that story on the website. stay with us here on bbc news, still to come: we meet meghan, the nine year—old who's helping to keep a quarter of a million london commuters safe on the underground network. it's emerged that nine members of the same family were killed when a tourist boat sank during a storm in the us state of missouri. in total, 17 people died, including several children. thirty—one people were on board the vess

in a weak negotiating position mrs may has struggled to unite factions within her governing conservative party over exactly how the u.k. will proceed with its departure well tourism is just appointed a new official to head. let's go live to lawrence the our correspondent there who's outside the houses of parliament and lawrence so the government mrs may has moved very quickly to replace david davis is this a virt the political crisis for her. no not at all it's feels a bit like to use a sort of a weather metaphor after you have weeks of incredibly sort of hot and humid weather and sun is a gigantic thunderstorm and you know thunder and lightning and all that kind of stuff and whole thing breaks it does feel politically like that because for so many months now the reason may has judiciously avoided taking a decision or making having a position either on leaving the european union completely with every last base or trying to have some sort of arrangement that satisfies those who don't want to leave and eventually she said that's the side she's going to go down on and all these hardliners h

trade deal now trying largely agreed with that wouldn't commit saying that whatever mrs may plans is fine by him it still could affect any trade deal with the united states now has doubled from how talks with the reason a huge crowd have been making their way through london's west end in a major show of public anger against the president's visit to see it is that let's try third time lucky see if we can get through to you on this it's a busy part of town that house had been progressing over the last couple of hours was really the question and it was the protesters now for the protests that have been. you came here we are here in trafalgar square you can see behind me the square is absolutely packed with tens of thousands of people that have been marching to get to this point for the last couple of hours and it has to be said that the numbers of people who turned out while we saw donald trump and theresa may try to show a unified front they've talked about their special relationship we've seen people here talk about how the only special relationship truck seems to have is with him. he

theresa may and mr trump watching thejoint to theresa may and mr trump watching the joint to exercise surrounding him, and his visit to the uk? let's talk to sarah elliot, the chair of republicans overseas, horowitz satlin, from the huffington post, inge kjemtrup, the chair of democrats abroad the democratic party's official body for the americans living outside the us, amy pope a former advisor to president barack obama, and marianne schneider—petsinger, a fellow of the us programme at chatham house. what a busy so fat! thank you so much for coming in. i guess we have to start by talking about these explosive comments which have come out today with this interview president trump has done with the sun newspaper. sarah, do you think this is disrespectful, this is helpful at the beginning of a trip to the uk? his comments on brexit? his comments on everything. sadiq khan, no trade deal, so much to get into. everyone was prepared for it to be unpredictable, for him to be unpredictable. i think this is very much in the tradition of trump's presidency. i think he was looking forward to est

as it stands, seniorfigures on all sides are telling me it is hard to see mrs may's blueprint gettingautumn as mps prepare for their summer break, brexit looks like a crisis waiting to happen. it also ensures that there is no border effectively down the irish sea. if only all talks are as friendly as this, but nothing's easy just now. not her party, not parliament, not brussels, not brexit. certainly not brexit. john pienaar, bbc news. today was the first time that the eu leaders gave their reaction to theresa may's white paper, and as our europe correspondent damian grammaticas reports, there are fears in brussels that we are heading towards a no deal. michel barnier, we saw today, seems to me more angry, more frustrated, more determined then he has appeared before. why? well, he said there is 13 weeks to sort all this out. the keyissue 13 weeks to sort all this out. the key issue remaining is that border in northern ireland, and it is that tax top, the insurance policy in case they cannot agree in the future ona case they cannot agree in the future on a trade deal, how to avoid bord

and but he did say it and he's not a child when it comes to the media in his press conference with mrs may at checkers he read a statement which said exactly the opposite we can have very good trade deals with one hundred i love britain is absolutely best etc but he has sent this message which i hope are will be taken on board by the british that frankly looking at it from the united states' point of view breck's it is not really going to help britain in terms or through ational with the united states in digits as robert has just been saying about her as president szell interested as robert has just been saying basically trump during the press conference seems to be turning down his battery but do you think that this is almost too late in the damage done it has been done done to to resume. well i think we know that president trump. says number of things often has great color rhetorical flourishes and he makes pretty outrageous claims from time to time statements and then he pulls back he doesn't assert he changes position and i think the position he's taken fright from the very beginning i
