are there i asked our london correspondent there good mass how important pretty patel was to teresa mayes government. well it's in every cabinet it's like a balance so you're trying to balance men and women she was a woman she was also the only woman in the cabinet of ethnic minority also she was a bricks a tear she is a bricks a tear and pretty much on the right of the conservative party and as such of course it is feared and possibly also the reason why to reason may didn't force her to resign straight away that there is the fear that she could cause trouble from the backbenches no she's somebody who is known to be extremely ambitious and political commentators here are sure that she is going to come back that she's not just going to all of a sudden vanish from political life but that she's still planning her career and she said to have leadership and visions even for the conservative party but the question is for two reason may issue going to do that in a constructive way or is she going to do that in a way that could cause further trouble for tourism may by just plotting at the back b

round of blacks in negotiations beginning that day and think tomorrow how will they be affected by teresa mayes domestic political problems well obviously from a brussels perspective it would be much preferable to negotiate with a strong government where they know that they have a real mandate that they have the country behind on the party behind them and the situation in reality here in the u.k. is really the complete opposite however i do think that these especially this round of negotiations will not be affected because the development secretary doesn't really have anything to do with these negotiations and brussels it's going to be interesting who's going to be her replacement driesum is under a lot of pressure and has been for quite some time from the years and all parties those people who advocate hard and strong and clean bret said and pretty patel the development secretary had to resign was one of them now the pressure is there to replace her with somebody else who's really enthusiast about brecht said so this pressure from those people who say no deal with brussels is better than a bad

i think it's based on nothing i think it's based on teresa mayes desperation trying to cling to her prime ministership and i think it's disgraceful she needs to take responsibility for own actions for. great britain's you know floundering economy instead of trying to blame russia for all for woes i mean this this blaming game on russia is absurd it would be laughable if it didn't have such you know possible horrendous real ramifications now how much influence do you think these online bots. and fake accounts and social media how much influence do you think they have in western democracies because i mean politicians are saying people do get a lot of information from social media they could be very impressionable perhaps. i mean has the whole story been blown out for portion or on the other hand is there no smoke without fire i think it has been blown out of proportion one i've yet to see evidence of of this were linked to russia i don't know what that means link to russia are these private citizens or these companies in none of this is been linked to the kremlin though they're trying to do

against muslims and as well of course we've had the spokesperson for the british prime minister teresa mayes saying that in fact it's the belief of that office that it was wrong to reach week these videos and we've even had a member of congress a democrat in the house of representatives in just the last hour or so hitting the floor of that chamber to call for an expiration date on hate saying in fact that there should be an impeachment vote on the floor of the house of representatives before christmas saying that hate emanating from the presidency the solution is in his view impeachment. committee this isn't a fust time the u.s. president has made comments that you wouldn't necessarily expect about a group of people comments which have sparks control the sand scandal how surprising. is the fact that he's retreated these videos. i think for many particularly in the media and here in the united states it's not that surprising at this point you have to remember donald trump as a candidate called for a complete and total ban on the muslims entering the united states that was completely shocking

he's had to borrow a question from the leader of the liberal democrats corbin not predicting the teresa mayes chancellor was about to dispense with near liberal talk of balancing the books wanted to know where britain's wealth has disappeared to he asked about all the billions in cash stored away in tax savings that could be used to pay for basic social services in a country where perhaps one hundred twenty thousand children will be homeless this christmas would britain seek to emulate the poverty stricken caribbean she still threatening to turn britain into a tax haven. may said she wouldn't take lessons from labor surely a fair point given tony blair's party appeared infamous the relaxed about people getting very rich presumably off the poor. just the labor party. teeny bit tax avoidance and tax evasion one hundred and sixty billion pounds more take. action taken by conservatives in government but given their own a legit billion pound bunker formerly paramilitary link to politicians just staying in power some of one that has sent him to drazen may really is ironically media even before a bu

issue and that's why we saw the late wednesday tweet from the president where he directed it at teresa mayes saying the focus should not be on me but instead on what he believes is the threat inside the united kingdom but here's the problem for the president while he is trying to along with his staff pivot this towards policy and certainly terms of talk about tougher border security and so on the president if he's looking to talk about policy is really doing himself a disservice given the fact that policy is exactly what most reporters were focused on until he said those three tweets in fact he was poised to get a lot of almost positive press given the fact that it looks like the senate will be passing a comprehensive tax reform plan and potentially giving the president his first a much needed legislative victory so that typically would have been the headline right now but because of the president's own actions in fact it's just the opposite and give me if i can from just slightly find where you said there are rumors coming out of the trump he's about to replace the secretary of state rex ti

just a select committee and former vice chair of teresa mayes ruling conservative party bob barr welcome to going underground we heard from former attorney general lord morris just before about this international court of justice decision just before you go to bricks it matters your reaction to britain not having a judge on the court for the first seventy one years but it's a serious setback and very disappointing the judge chris we're able to done an excellent job and i think it's a great shame i think is possibly an indication of a bit of a shifting power balance between both the security council and the genius driven assembly and also between you know the old established founding members of the un and the new emerging states but that's been going on for decades arguably i mean there's the head of the justice we are isn't it what do you think well it's done to stem the tide i think a couple of things here a lot of this of course is as much a political matter as a judicial one it's interesting that about a month or so ago the french lost their post on one of the other international lega

government there are multiple multiple problems from various different angles that are affecting teresa mayes ability to lead at the moment domestically her own government is somewhat divided over breaks in the party most certainly is and on top of that he also has to face this p.r. nightmare of being able to deal with the fallout of these various sexual scandals and so on and so forth and the view from brussels is one of great consternation they are viewing from across the the other side of the english channel a government that appears to be slipping increasingly and further and further into internal crisis it's also going to have a knock on effect on ongoing negotiations if by the end of this month going into the start of december no progress has been made on key issues to do with the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the exit of the bill that britain has to pay leaving the e.u. in the states of e.u. nationals here then it could well see any hope of immediate progress being pushed even further back and that's exactly what a reason may doesn't want to see she made p
