shortly afterwards the e.u. abolished all subsidies for the export of animals for slaughter and introduced stricter animal welfare rules for transporting them. back and twenty seventeen animals are being on loaded from the british. only one truck is still there. what comes next is in complete violation of e.u. animal welfare laws. and it's not an exception. we saw this happen twice when the ship was offloading live cargo from france in the summer of twenty seventeen. this animal will also be transported from the harbor. it's been two years since the european court of justice ruled that protection for animals under e.u. law does not stop at the outer borders of the e.u. . the e.u. those rules are valid until the final destination and this has not yet been reached . the various administrative court also. ruled on the issue. of member states and the european union must fully take into account the welfare needs of animals as sentience beings. but the buyers of the animals probably know nothing about any of this. in a

fifty the formal mechanism to leave the e.u. set the wheels in motion after forty four years as an e.u. member a new rules gave the british government two years to negotiate the divorce after months of disagreement within the government may says she's ready to deliver a brink's agreement that keeps absolute faith with the people's decision to leave so let's bring in our guests for today's discussion both of whom are in london jonathan lis is the deputy director of the business advisory group british influence and john johnston is a political reporter at politics home gentlemen welcome to you both jonathan list let's start with you so now forma foreign secretary boris johnson said in his resignation letter that the brig's it dream is dying suffocated by self-doubt is he right. well dream is the opposite because it never existed except in his imagination imagination is not a breakfast is it was always going to be a case that the brakes that he wants he could never be delivered you either have a break say in accordance with what the

the ruling says protection for animals under e.u. law does not stop at the borders of the e.u. . and the final destination is not the e.u. border it's the country where the animals are unloaded for at least forty eight hours the importers are always countries like egypt or turkey or iran they do not here to e.u. standards and the e.u. except that it has no control over what happens there part of the thought in the. european animal welfare association say that as a result the ruling has no real effect their investigations reveal that as soon as the shipments leave the e.u. animal welfare ceases to be a consideration. they refuse to accept this any longer in twenty seventeen million protest signatures were collected by organizations throughout europe and handed over to the responsible e.u. commissioner in brussels. i think. the euro group for animals unites animal welfare groups from many european countries. it's calling for the european court of justice judgement to be fully implemented. a delegation from several of the european organizations met the e.u. commissioner. as we stand

[indiscernible] >> is that what you are telling us? prime minister may: if you look at the white paper and the agreement we came to, the proposal is no longer a member of the customs union and put forward a proposal in the specific area of industrial goods. thathe customs arrangement can go along side that which borders.de africaonous will decide a africa -- will dec

with both the e.u. and the u.s. may prove difficult. ahead of trump's arrival in london plans for a softer price of maintaining close e.u. u.k. trade ties had already caused controversy the u.s. is embassador to the u.k. woody johnson warned that that would be a u.s. u.k. trade deal in the works would now be up in the air one deal has to come before the other the u.k. account finalized trade pacts on its own until after breaks it earlier this year free trade between london and washington see more plausible even said a deal would be agreed quickly if the e.u. is the u.k.'s most significant market but the value of u.k. exports the e.u. has stagnated in the last five years while exports the u.s. has steadily risen over the same period. london now has a very fine line to walk it has to redefine relations with two of its most important trade partners at a time when the e.u. and the u.s. are themselves at loggerheads over tariffs. well for more on that i'm joined by callum pickering senior economist at bear bag bank in london i would like to s

viewers at the insult to injury a country which is leaving the e.u. is advocating enlargement and the government is falling apart in london yesterday so perhaps this was not the happiness of moments to have such a summit indeed. there from the german institute for international and security affairs in brussels thank you so much for your time. thank you. and just a short a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you of the final stage of a rescue operation is underway in thailand to get the last members of the youth soccer team out of a flooded cave divers have already brought out eight boys who are now being treated in hospital. you're watching the news live from them and more coming up at the top of the alice thanks for watching. move. on now to. the great. general brinton. against. the spirit. in two hundred sixty a. bloody coup in the ring and still controversial. our special. want to crazy tournaments a twenty eight team world com has been so far. on. the take a look at how the quarterfinals went and what's coming up this week. going t

products while the e.u. till try to convince trump to change its mind the president the president will decide we had an exchange of views on the current state of affairs of the negotiations we have to deal with common global challenges regarding of trade regarding. so important security issues it's impossible to make any trade war but it was all in bahrain on june first the u.s. also introduced tariffs on european steel and on the menu the e.u. commission's response came swiftly this is a better day for the work which untreated unknowns in the next coming hours counterbalancing measures what they can do we are able to do exactly. the same on june twenty second the e.u. put levies on jeanne's peanut butter whiskey and motorbikes trump in turn is now considering whether to impose have to levies on european vehicles so can the president of the european commission find an exit door from an all out trade war i asked any you expert i don't think that you should try to go shoot with mr trump i don't think this is th

most of the goods come in via the e.u. or more precisely from a port just fifteen minutes away on the french island off some of. the neighboring islands have close ties but now breaks it is threatening their relationship. we find it to be insulting because it will be affected directly. bought i mean our soft water for years clears and. you know that doesn't present situation by the president in the negative so local radio host a.j. hammer is angry that i will let it not have a say over breakfast that since residents could not vote to break that affect us he and some fifteen thousand other islanders will lose their passports should london come up short in its plans to secure a good break sit deal with us residents worry that they will be among the biggest losers and will ensure that hadn't a chance to participate in the backseat and that no other people should decide on going on state but then britain has been. increasing homemaker managing what i think is it fair to us. that mean we have no say because if you take the econo

yes because when we leave the e.u. we will end the direct effect of e.u. law in the u.k. where gave. away now from its tories in may she makes a statement to the house of commons or rather around the house of commons it must be said lawrence leigh is our correspondent he's outside the palace of westminster and he's been listening to they said so far so far and she's she's been. she's had to deal with the issue of david davis but she certainly hasn't mentioned bar-s. . state. no no no she won't mention dollars johnson because that's not the point of her statement what she's doing is explaining why she came to a conclusion that she did about these so-called third way this kind of a quarter in and three quarters out of the european union arrangement is going to form the basis of this government paper that will be really released on thursday and will then form the basis of any future negotiation with your opinion emotion explaining is the reasons why the european union or the or the u.k. government had to reject any other ideas it's all about where the border is is it is no g

and the e.u. progress has been made on some things to be fatter both sides but clearly there's a lot left to negotiate and agree in the remaining months ahead i mean they've been negotiating and fighting with themselves they have been talking to brussels much and that's that's the shambolic aspect of it is it's not just that it's difficult it's just that they can't agree on what they want which is pretty shameful isn't it this is. the future of this country in the future of this country's economy hinges on what kind of breaks the u.k. gets well i think you think they're more responsible attitude from the prime minister and the government wouldn't you what i think is you just said this is incredibly important these negotiations for the future of the united kingdom and particularly of the for the shape of our economy ok there have been things have been agreed with the e.u. relation to the draw agreement on the amount you paid on citizens but the import of the matter is that well look i go about seque

the plant reconstruction is funded by the e.u. which is also and will as largest provider of development aid. that much of the funding a potential fourteen million euros is earmarked for education but after brags that nothing is certain but i shall do no kingdom i would say ninety percent of the people that i talked to a british. have a clue that there's a place going well so you know i really think we have i don't think i would be big on the agenda of the british government. as one of the issues that they speak about . the islanders are afraid that should london fail to secure the banks that deal it wants and needs and will or will be among the biggest losers they'll lose their development aid their e.u. passports and the open border to the neighboring islands. should have had an a chance to participate in the backseat and that no other people should decide and go on state but then britain has been. increasing home micro-managing with other and it puts us in a precarious position because. economically we might be outside his advan

for talks with washington the e.u. has a lot to lose in this trade conflict one compelling reason to stand together but analysts also say without reform the block is too weak to win big battles. so is the e.u. ineffectual and bogged down a visit to athens might suggest otherwise after years of financial crisis greece with the e.u.'s help has turned a corner or so says european commissioner pm must give each. received. each with. its. soothing. those european partners now have three other economic headaches to deal with first italy which is sitting on a mountain of debt some two point three trillion euros worth saving italy might prove an even tougher job than greece could this mean and atallah exit. then there's brics it britain is waving goodbye to the e.u. but what this will ultimately mean is anything but clear how much of a handle does brussels have on the situation and its costs. and last but not least donald trump he's threatening tariffs and the e.u. use vowing to strike back with levies on some two hundred fifty

will and free movement of people when it leaves the e.u. from the start the e.u. s made absolutely clear financial service is off the table if the u.k. chooses to violate that key component of the single market so it's no surprise in a way the u.k. is simply realize that it cannot have financial services if it ends free movement of people on the side of the ending free movement of people matters more than keeping good access in financial services we have about half a minute left and perhaps you could enlighten us if you happen to know what donald trump advice to reset may to do in terms of break said she said she gave her advise and she didn't take it. all i think donald trump's advice would have been just out very much all right kellan pickering their senior economist at bear in bed bank in london thank you so much for your time. and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you protests mark this is a top u.s. president on a tramp to britain earlier trying to set a british american free trade deal may be impossible if the u.k. government's plan to le

and the e.u. which it believes will prevent ad h border in ireland. here is our political editor. reporter: look close. then closer. ok through the hazy. -- haze. there's the cabinet deciding their future. and more importantly, all of ours. thprime minister gesturing to boris johnson, what do you od think his language is saying back? teresa may's aies desperate to get him andth the heexiteers onboard. and signs are still profound disagreements about life outside the e.u. teresa may argued for a model where we're snugly tied to the e.u. in many ways. but it seems at least in her mind the dea was done. >> well, in detailed discussions today, the cabinet has agreed our collective position on the future of our negotiations with the e.u. and our proposal will create a u.k.e.u. free trade area which establishes a common rule book on industrial goods and agricultural products. this will maintain hi standards. but we will ensure that no changes can take place without thel approf our parliament. will avoid

that was the e.u. eeting with president trump, agreeing -- it is a new day in trade and an effort to ease relations with the u.s. and avert a trade war. someone who is no stranger to getting the e.u. straightened out is european parliament member, he is nigel farage. he joins me now. you've been saying trump pressuring the e.u. was a great deal all along. great to see you, looks like what he's doing is working. >> this is remarkable. even i can't believe it. the european commissioner is not elected, so he's got no threat of being removed. i'm guessing now that the pressure that came on from german car manufacturers must have been absolutely enormous. what is even more remarkable is over the last few months the global media have portray trump as bad guy, e.u. good guys. the truth of it is the protectionist european union has now been forced by trump into taking an approach that is more towards free trade and fair trade. it is not only an extraordinary day, but a massive, huge victory for president trump'
