the eu was born out of the ashes of world war two. eu unity symbolises democracy and security here. restimate in britain the importance and the way in which europe and the eu is part of the german dna, part of the european dna. it was the way back for germany into respectability after the horrors of the second world war. so this idea that of course the germans are going to push for a favourable deal for the united kingdom because they want to sell us lots of cars, what do you make of that? they're not standing up and saying to the german government we must access to the british market. what they're saying is if you've the german government have decided the unit of 27 is more important than access to the uk market, so be it, and we will live with that. contemplating the future of eu/uk relations, i keep coming back to the unknowns. what will a deal look like? how long would it take to agree? what happens if it all falls apart? be under no illusions, if we don't get those deals and if we don't get that agreement, whilst everyone will suffer, britain would be a lot worse off than our fo

but keep the good bits. from an euing... bonjour, i'd like, oh, the blueberry from on top of that cake, all the lovely chocolate flakes from around that one and yes, i would like the raspberries from right in the middle of that cake. thank you. and off i go, leaving the cake shop to sort out the mess. we are hearing a firm but friendly attitude towards the uk but no, boris johnson is totally wrong. he's sure that in the end brussels will do a deal. this is the city of deals often at the 11th hour. you british invented the clubs and when you're in the club you have some privileges, and not being an eu member means you lose some privileges. you can't have the best of the two worlds, that's just impossible. if we would do so that it would encourage all members to leave. however hard the eu tries to market its tough—guy approach, make no mistake, it wants a deal with the uk. after all, if the uk economy nosedives, that has a big impact on the rest of europe. but brussels insists it won't do a deal at any price. when the eu

at the close of day one of eu— but will we? at the close of day one of eu- uk but will we? remained unclear about the kind of brexit britain was after. secretary of state, can be eu trust that what you are for today or tomorrow will be what you asked for any few days' time, given the political confusion in the uk? would deliver the single market. we will be seeking to set up a free trade arrangement. —— we believe in the single market. the circumstances have not changed. but from the eu perspective, everything is change. the focus should not be uncompromising brussels, he says, the uk chose to leave the eu, not the uk chose to leave the eu, not the other way around. so, despite a lingering sense of sadness, the mood music right now in europe is this, brexit, if you are sure you really wa nt brexit, if you are sure you really want it, bring it on. after a general election that nobody quite won, the big question is this or brexit, what, if anything, has changed? how do you think that election result has changed the approach that britain will take to the brexit negotiations? i

there are regular terror attacks in the eu at the moment.is the economy — jobs and growth getting a lot of emphasis. let‘s bring chris back in on the issue of the fence, because i think people in the uk will be quite surprised to see the eu moving so far so fast on this. there are many issues, but one of them on which the uk has held back the rest of the eu has been defence. for years, the uk has been defence. for years, the uk has been defence. for years, the uk has been the country saying, we have nato, we don‘t need more integrated structures at eu level. it is duplication and a waste of money, and we are not comfortable with it. with the uk on the way out, we think, then it means that the big impediment to moving forward on european defence cooperation has gone, and germany and france are particularly keen on it. we have seen movement and we will see movement over the course of the rest of this year as well. i think it is something that will be significant. jean—claude juncker said today that most of the research and development was done

this is not the eu demanding... hese activities in the uk, then we don't have the authority to do it. it is no good talking up a no deal as if it's a viable, tenable option. there is an acceptance of the result, and almost a resignation — it's not an agreement, it's no welcome, especially from those members in my constituency, people who run their own businesses, they didn't welcome the result, they don't welcome the fact that we're leaving the european union, but they have accepted the referendum result and their message and their plea now is for us to come together and get the best deal that we can in the national interest. and that is why i'm so pleased that already we're seeing changes in the approach, and many other honourable and right honourable members have expressed that. and i do repeat much of what was said, actually, from the front bench about the need to change the tone. my own front bench has to wake up and understand that things have now changed. no tariffs, frictionless trade and the best possible acc

point the ek leaves the eu, we wa nt the point the ek leaves the eu, we want you to stay. able government in the united kingdom‘s national interest at this vital time. the government says it will support councils after cladding on 60

would need a relationship with the eu. i.i.e. within the single market, some kind of soft brexit arrangement. if the dup gets that the conservative party has a problem with its members of parliament that are part of the european research group, the brexit hardliners. other side, they are facing the dup and the scottish conservatives. in the endomes down to the question of immigration, doesn't it? hardliners are worried that if they agree to a soft brexit they wind up getting free movement of people from the rest of the eu. >> even that is complicated in the sense that some of those people favor closer relationships with britain's former colony and they would like later immigration from those countries and less from the european union so even those people that want to be out altogether do not have a coherent point of view and there are people -- theresa may also says that a should be trading free with the world. emmanuel macron said the rest of the eu is waiting for a sensible coherent proposal from the u.k., what does the u.k. wan

to the government that they cannot deport more from non—eu countries. le if more people could be kicked out. i think this is an attempt to get a cheap, poplar headline, because this cannot be the big issue when the government releases the details of what it is going to do tomorrow. —— eight popular headline. what really cou nts eight popular headline. what really counts is whether they are going to be able to satisfy the eu over whether or not these citizens will have the rights they expect when we leave the eu, and if they do not have the rights they expect and that the eu wants, then britain will not get very far with brexit talks. able may remember on thursday theresa may me tweet said that she had made a generous offer, but all we have in front of us here is a tasty headline saying we will be tough on foreign carols. that is not really the issue. —— foreign criminals. carols. that is not really the issue. -- foreign criminals. it seems unlikely we could be sure of that at this point, and also, it seems kind of strange that the numbers given by the ti

i think there is every prospect of a deal that is good for the uk and good for the eu. do you think that a deal, the nature and shape of it, that it will change as a result of this election? i cannot see how or why. i heard jeremy corbyn this morning say rather more clearly than everl morning say rather more clearly than ever i have heard him before, that leaving the european union means leaving the european union means leaving the european union means leaving the single market. well, thatis leaving the single market. well, that is the position of the government. he has said that he wants free trade access to the single market, that is the position of the government. the labour manifesto said they did not want to continue with the free movement of people, that is the position of the government. so the overwhelming numbers of members of parliament in the house of, and are all the same mind, support the position of the government. if i may interrupt you, the dup, however, we are firmly of the dup, however, we are firmly of the position that there must be a deal and theresa

there has been no deal between the uk and eu. for the british government has said is they wa nt to british government has said is they want to have a generous and reciprocal arrangement but the details of what rights eu citizens may have. paul asks, what was the arrangement? the dinner featured theresa may for a while. michel barnier, the eu's chief brexit negotiator would come in and briefed the other countries on how this brexit negotiations are going. after that, we are expecting a briefing. at some point, this building and briefing rooms around will fill up with eu leaders who will tell us what they made of the dinner and what they made of the dinner and what theresa may said. keep those questions coming. if you've got any questions, send them to #bbcos. for the first time in a while, there is an air of optimism surrounding this eu summit. that sentiment was clear in an open letter written by european council president donald tusk ahead of today's meeting. in it, he said, "we are witnessing the return of the eu rather as a sol

status" for european citizens living in the uk. but euf what they wanted. let's take a look at what we know about the proposals, and it's not a lot. theresa may has suggested those who've been living in the uk for at least five years will continue to be allowed to do so. it's understood that they're likely to keep their access to the nhs, education, benefits and pensions. but number ten says the deal will have to be reciprocal, and uk citizens elsewhere in the eu must be allowed to enjoy the same rights. but it's raised many questions — let's look at the unanswered questions. we don't know when the five—year cut—off date for remaining will be, will it for example be the date of last year's referendum, or when article 50 was triggered? we don't know what will happen to the relatives of eu citizens who remain in the country — will spouses be able to stay too? and we don't know how the rules will be enforced — ministers have told the bbc that a new international court could be the arbiter of citizens' rights, but some eu leaders have said it

some of this is about the way the eu... of ways of describing how things work. —— there are a lot of ways. it doesn't look like we will permanently stay in the customs union, but if we can have a good customs arrangements which minimises bureaucracy and tariffs, and makes it easy for us to get our goods and services over there, that's the thing you really need to focus on. many thanks for being with us. other news now. the former business secretary, sir vince cable, has become the first to throw his hat in the ring to replace tim farron as leader of the liberal democrats. after losing his seat in 2015, he has just returned as mp for twickenham in this month's general election. declaring his candidacy, he said he would work to secure a second referendum on any brexit deal. and we'll be speaking to sir vince cable at four o'clock this afternoon here on the news channel. the serious fraught office has charges charge for banking executives with fraud after the 2008 crash. the end of an era for british banking, some of the bigge

extracting the uk from the eu want be easy and there is still no real clarity from anyone about what ut it is clear that here as well as in brussels the prime minister is facing a tough fight. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. well, some of the key issues in those brexit talks in the coming days will include the rights of eu citizens, that's foreign nationals, living here, and britons living abroad. there's the size of the divorce bill, what it will it cost to leave the eu. bill, what it will it and then there's the timetable — can the highly complex negotiations be completed in just two years? can the highly complex negotiations damian grammaticas is in brussels for us. damian, in brussels for us. what are we expecting tomorrow? damian, what are we expecting tomorrow? 11am brussels time, on the seventh floor here, those talks will get underway. one of the early issues will be how to proceed. david davis wanted trade talks from the outset, and he has predicted a row over the summer over that, because the eu said it wants first exit issues dealt with, then a future relationship coul

, still involved in some of the eu, still involved in some of the eu, still involved in some of thean it is trying to prevent, rescue migrants from north africa. it has operations in kosovo, in african countries like malia. the bottom line is that when the uk leads the eu we will have nothing to do withjoint eu leads the eu we will have nothing to do with joint eu military operations u nless we do with joint eu military operations unless we the uk choose to join these operations bilaterally, to say we are doing this operation, would you like some help? the uk was to be pa rt you like some help? the uk was to be part of the commons committee defence policy of the european union which means we participate in these schemes but the whole idea of an eu army which are still a long way away, the uk will not be part of that leaves the eu. up until that point we can take part if we wish but most of the military co—operation eu does tends to be on an intergovernmental basis. take it or leave it option. very little it is done by decision—makers in brussels. very good to talk to you, thank you

and how much money it is the uk over the eu? —— how much money does the uk owe the eu? kel and man u macron was that they did not see this as the forum for discussion on those proposals. the details of these proposals, and there are a lot of them, that will be laid out for the negotiating teams on monday. —— emmanuel macron. of course, theresa may has come to the summit in a weakened position. she held an election in which she lost conservative party majority government, and she is still working to put together effectively a working majority with another party within the uk. what might be the application of that? according to the european parliament's president, he believes it points towards a softer brexit. so a need for more legibility, possibly, from the uk. —— that ability. the important thing is to separate. after the separation, it is possible to discuss after that. do you feel that you know what britain's negotiating position is? because... it is not ourjob. it is a british job. it is not the european union against the uk. if they want to leave, what do they want?

our obligations in the withdrawal treaty with the eu will be binding on the uk as with the eu will bet of the deal, even 3 million eu citizens in the uk certainty about the future of their lives and a reciprocal agreement will provide the same certainty for the more than! million uk citizens living in the european union. one year on from that momentous decision to leave the european union, let us remember what we are seeking to achieve with these negotiations: we are withdrawing from a system of treaties and bureaucracy that does not work for us, but we... we are not withdrawing from the values and solidarity that we share with european neighbours. asa we share with european neighbours. as a confident outward looking and self—governing nation, we know that it is notjust our past that is entwined in the fortunes of friends and neighbours, it is our future, entwined in the fortunes of friends and neighbours, it is ourfuture, as well, that is why we want is new, deep and special partnership and why we approach negotiations with optimism. a good deal for britain and a good deal for europe

the eu is extremely organised over brexit. at really struck me is the level of paperwork, the transparency of the documents they have produced, and the very clear timetable. the eu can only act within the powers given to it, and that means, at the moment, the commission can only negotiate on phase one issues, and phase one issues are citizens rights, the right of eu nationals in the uk and eu, issues about the border and so—called brexit fee. these will be the first things up for discussions, which start another week's time. do you get the same feeling about the negotiators for the uk? the civil service have been working very hard, but they are dependent on political leadership. and as we know, political leadership has been distracted by having a general election campaign for the last seven 01’ so election campaign for the last seven or so weeks and a degree of uncertainty about the direction of travel going forward. this is where the hard soft brexit may kick in because it depends on what kind of deal theresa may does with the

the rest is up to the eu commission. as far as we can tell, they are following was that they established in the beginning. >> in brussels, thank you. sarah: it just so happens to be one year since the people in britain voted to leave the eu. the result of the referendum sent shockwaves across europe. what is the mood in britain one year on? our london correspondent gauged the reactions. >> he may look like the british foreign secretary but drew is decidedly anti-brexit. he is campaigning with others to keep written in the european union. his goal? >> have another referendum. but the question to the british people. leave one british referendum on the basis of lies told by the campaign. >> most of the people in this group, including gareth williams only got involved in the issue after last year's referendum. >> is saying we are here, we are not going away. >> the process is not over, it will be nearly another two years. >> this group of activists is hardly representative of the wider public and it hasn't been easy winning p

wanted in terms of the rights of eu nationals living in the uk and uk nationals living in the eu, r admitted, is something that ordinary people have been worried about as part of the brexit process. then this morning, we saw a series of eu leaders, the prime minister, and people like jean—claude juncker, the president of the commission, and donald tusk, the president of the council, pouring cold water on what she proposed and saying it wasn't substantial enough. and then you get our colleague, political editor, making the point that actual, some people who voted to leave the eu and control immigration will look at this proposal and think it is too, it goes in the wrong direction and is not tough enough on migration. theresa may will have to strike a balance between those two opposing forces. and the prime minister lodging that this was an opening bid, the document she will publish on monday will be negotiations, the invitation of that is that it could change between now and when something is agreed. it's interesting, isn't it, that the sort of language coming from her and, from the

and the clock is ticking loudly. under euain's new government only has until march 2019 in order to agree a brexit deal. impossible, says eurocrats, to get all that done and dusted in such a short timeframe, but the government will be under pressure to give it a go. still, as saying goes, it takes two to tango, 01’ saying goes, it takes two to tango, or in the case about 30, because you have the united kingdom on one side, and on the other, the remaining eu member states, 29 of those, plus the eu commission, and the european parliament as well. all of them with their bargaining chips up their sleeves. that is a very bad pun, but we are in belgium, and chips and mayonnaise — very much part of the national diet. and here is the blast. the very first thing the government has to do on brexit is choose the chief brexit negotiator. they then have to come to brussels and agree how often they are going to meet, what they are going to talk about, and in which order. the eu is very clear about its priorities. they say there will be no

here are the headlines. eued security after recent terror threats. security, migration and brexit will all be high on the agenda. britain's prime minister, theresa may, will face eu leaders for the first time since losing her parliamentary majority in a general election two weeks ago. the iraqi and us military say islamic state militants have blown up the great al—nuri mosque in mosul. one iraqi general called it a crime against all iraq. and donald trump has put forward the idea that his proposed water wall with mexico should be covered with solar panels. in aiyawatt, he said such a war would generate energy and pay for itself. time to take a look at the stories and how the news media is by —— by digesting the news of the world. one of the big news stories here in the uk is yesterday's queen's speech. while pointing out the resemblance of the queen's hat to the eu flag,

the eu side are waiting to see what it is he wants. ot yet have a united view on brexit but article 50 has been triggered, and negotiations have to begin between mr davis and his opposite number, michel barnier. the handshake went on...and on. a small test of strength perhaps before the real tests ahead. we will do all we can to ensure that we deliver a deal that works in the best interests of all citizens. to that end, we are starting this negotiation in a positive and constructive tone, determined to build a strong and special partnership between ourselves and our european allies and friends in the future. we must first tackle the uncertainties caused by brexit. first, for citizens, but also for the beneficiaries of the eu policies, and for the impact on borders, in particular ireland. so what do we know about mr barnier? well, the former french minister spent months preparing. he told the european parliament a few months ago he won't be seeking to punish the uk, but it must pay its bills. let me be clear, when a country leaves the un

closer ties between the eu and china — that's the aim. leaders are meeting at at summit in brussels later hoping to counter president trump's stance on trade and climate change. brazil is expected to announce that its economy is growing for the first time since 2014 — but could that be overshadowed by the latest political crisis? we'll look at whether that could threaten the return to growth. welcome to world business report. i'm ben bland. in a minute we'll find out why today is a big day for pakaistan‘s stock market. but first, the eu and china will attempt to deepen ties at a summit later. there is concern among some about the direction taken by us president donald trump on trade and climate change. chinese premier li keqiang will meet european council president donald tusk and european commission head jean—claude juncker. they are hoping to come up with an answer to donald trump's "america first" challenge. trade in goods between the eu and china is worth well over 1.5 billion euros a day. the eu is china's biggest trading partner, wh

the british prime minister tells the european union that eu citizens living in the u.k. will not have to leave after brexit. this comes after a summit of eu leaders where angela merkel praised the strong relationship between france and germany. it is the first meeting since the start of brexit negotiations. theresa may has been addressingg leaders there. one of islam's most important sites blown away in a matter of seconds. supposedly by islamic state. it is -- if at first you do not succeed, try again. u.s. senator's debate a new form of health care presented by republican to repeal and replace obamacare. and what investors on wall street make of it all. ♪ >> good to have you with us. it is not often that we can report on an upbeat meeting of european union leaders but that is exactly what happened tonight in brussels. this is the first summit since brexit talks began earlier this week. the british prime minister just announcing citizens from the eu will be allowed to stay in the u.k. after breakfast. the german chancellor angela merkel tonight speaking with a new sense

expectations and risked worsening the situation of eu citizens currently livingited kingdom. but mrs may described her plan as fair and serious. and she reiterated that no legal eu citizens would have to leave the uk after brexit. we will have a listen to what she had to say sharper, but first, let's wasn't too donald tusk and what he had to say about his concerns regarding her proposals. we have made our position clear. we wa nt to we have made our position clear. we want to ensure full rights for eu and uk citizens after brexit. our first impression is that the uk's offers below our expectations and that it risks worsening the situation of citizens. but it will be for our negotiating team to analyse the offer line by line once we receive it on paper. that was donald tusk speaking in brussels, and shortly after that news conference, the prime minister responded by saying that while there we re responded by saying that while there were differences between the uk's and used haas proposals, several eu leaders have reacted, she said positively, to proposals. and if

it is 10% more than the eu average. the president has thomas to shrink spending by 60 billion euros by cutting. the government has already said it is difficult to bring it down below 3% of gdp. that's what the eu requires. >> today is also an historic day, the start of brexit negotiations. >> let's talk about the european markets. they got off to a strong start. in paris, that is the biggest rise in more than a month off the back of the elections. -- the victory in london is not affecting the market. german shares are trading in the green. >> you are keen to know about this historic a with the start of brexit negotiations. >> david davis is meeting with the eu negotiator in brussels for the first formal negotiations. a year after british people voted to leave the european union. no breakthroughs are expected today. >> thank you very the business roundup. look at the you a press review next. we are here to look at reactions to that developing story in london. a vehicle plunged into a crowd on purpose. >> we've been lookin

david davis declared himself an optimist that the eu warns, it is fraught with risk. disaster in west london last week has risen to 79. so far, five of them have been identified. they died in the course of the fire. the metropolitan police have warned that they may never be able to identify all those who died. the bbc has seen letters — which reveal that four government ministers received warnings — that fire regulations were not keeping people safe in high—rise blocks like grenfell tower. prosecutors in paris who say the man who drove into people today was on the terror watch list. nobody died. the french minister called it an attempted terrorist attack. the former bbc children's presenter brian cant — best known for play school and play away — has died at the age of 83. house with a door. he was one of the most popular figures on children's television throughout the 1960s and 70s — when he also voiced programmes such as camberwick green and trumpton. brian cant had been suffering from parkinson's disease for a number of years. that's a summary of the news, newsday i

i am joined here by the head of policy studies. eut to capitalise on the french election above all, but also a sense that maybe the eu is not lost after all. exactly. that is a sense that we have here, in brussels and throughout the union. the economy is going up and migration appears under control. the eu now needs to show what it can do from citizens in practice. when you tell a migration being under control, one of the key issues that has caused much disturbance in recent years is the lack of clarity, a lack of decision—making, on how to deal with asylu m decision—making, on how to deal with asylum seekers, who should take responsibility. —— talk about migration. so we are still treading water and issues that should have been resolved by now. yes, that the keyissue been resolved by now. yes, that the key issue for the leaders of the union is that for the time being, the numbers are down. so there is a sense that we are in control. the control is more for appearances. but the time being, the issue goes down the time being, the issue

last march or the day to leave the eu? britons abroad, ? million eu resident in britain. what about the britons abroad,? both say of ch and be reciprocal saw anything agreed for you citizens fear will also be agreed for uk citizens abroad. don‘t forget this is dependent on an overall deal being done. there is that level of uncertainty for people on both sides, if there were no deal and what happens to all these? button this will please british retirees and spin but uk state pensions will continue to be paid and continue to be increased year—on—year if you are living in the eu. not always guaranteed elsewhere in the world. there were concerns that the state pension would be frozen, that will not happen under this proposal. another thing for people making me wa nt to another thing for people making me want to travel in the future, the uk is good to try as part of the overall negotiations to introduce some sort of equivalent of the insurance card we take only go to europe. these are some of the small details but we also have t

there are also liabilities of the eu. they have debts, they have commitments to the european investment bank. all of that has to be settled and totaled up. that is what this is all about. 100 billion euros has been suggested, 40 billion euros has been suggested. what is important in any negotiation is to get the principles down. figure out if you are liable for this, not liable for that. that is the hard work that has to be done this summer and fall and by the end of the year, early next year, we will have a better sense of what the financial settlement is, which is basically a balancing of assets and liabilities between london and brussels. host: in our podcast, we talked with a former policy director for nato and he brought up a point, and there was a study by politico that in terms of per capita, that the u.s. and germany are pretty much on par with what it contributes to nato. but in military bases terms of actual nato operation, is the president right or is nato correct saying that most countries per capita are pretty

the uk and uk citizens living in the eu. ulating it. and the irish border, how to avoid one between north and south. some in the eu say one thing michel barnier will make clear is that the uk's expectation that it can get as good a deal outside the bloc as inside is unrealistic. what is the wishful thinking that you are hearing that you think he will bring down—to—earth? i give you an example. great britain decides to get out of the single market and of the customs union, but decides to be in again. i mean, you are out. you are out. or you are in, you are in. the talks have to be wrapped up by late next year. the timetable is incredibly tight, the issues incredibly complex. the concern, a logjam in any one area could scupper the whole thing. damian grammaticas, bbc news, brussels. hello, this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme — american brooks koepka equals the us open's lowest winning score of 16 under to claim his first major at erin hills. against the odds — pakistan shock india an

uk have simply accepted the eu's terms on this but that means we have to sort out all thoset the terms of our excellent, the so—called divorce bill, whether eu citizens here and britons abroad have the same rights. we have to sort of all of that out before we start talking about the transitional period, if there is going to be won, and what it will look like. that is critical to business owners here and also on the content. —— continent. what can we expect from philip hammond? there will be a war of words. he will say what people want to hear and that we will be seeking some kind of regulatory equivalents after brexit. so this is important to the city of london, just to explain it to the viewers who are unaware. jetta it will give some assurance that some at least of our financial sector could continue to trade and operate businesses in the rest of the eq trade and operate businesses in the rest of the e0 the way it does now. -- it rest of the e0 the way it does now. —— it will give some assurance. —— eu. it would require all the 27 governments to give a mandate to negotiate

he said the eu customs union and single market would be left. ea market would be left. there have to be a transition to keep finances flowing. he even attacked the tory election campaign for not making more of it. we hit we did not talk about the economy as much as they should have done. whatever the reason, this is the result. lacking enough mps on their own, the tories have turned to northern ireland's democratic unionist party. their agenda will have to be continued to. theresa may is facing a tough battle here. there are whole raft of laws to be passed regarding brexit. the parliamentary session has been extended to two years, giving the government more time, which may make it much easier. the tories are divided about what brexit should mean, and that is without the views of political opponents. labour could flex its muscles, suggesting today that the uk could stay in the customs union, which allows tariff free trade within the eu. customs union, which allows tariff free trade within the eui customs union, which allows tariff free trade withi

there are liabilities of the eu. ebts,have that -- d commitments to the bank, all of that has to be settled out and that is what this is about. 100 billion euros has been suggested, 40 billion euros has been suggested trade what is important is to get the principles down, figure out, i am going to be liable for this, not for that, and there will somet my liabilities with share of the assets, and that is the hard work that has to be done this summer and fall. by the end of the year, we will have a better sense of the financial settlements, which is a balancing of assets and liabilities between london and brussels. host: nr podcast -- in our podcast, we talked to the former director for nato, and t brought up a point that in terms of per capita, the u.s. and germany pretty much on par in terms of what it contributes to nato. we had u.s. troops in germany, military bases, which you could nato, but int of terms of nato operation, is the tosident rights or is made correct, saying most countries per capita are pretty even a

what can we now expect the labour leader to say about the eu. ore and i think because theresa may has made brexit such a part per campaign, trying to say she is the only leader who could go into those negotiations and get a good deal, jeremy corbyn has decided to tackle that head on in the next few minutes in this. his argument is that when she said no deal was better than a bad deal, he will say that is not the case, that would be the worst scenario of all, that it would be terrible forjobs. he said previously he wants the benefits of the single market and have come here today with three of his team saying, these are the people who will lead these are the people who will lead the labour negotiations through brexit, if they get into power, so really focusing people‘s minds on all of that. he says it will be a stronger team and is pretty rude about those in the brexit team, he calls them the three brexiteers and say some of them have lied about what was going to happen, referring to the extra money that was promised by the leave campaign to go int

the eu is china's biggest trading partner, while china is the eu's second—largest trading partner afteres. it all sounds complicated, but crucial to this negotiation. the eu is worried about industrial overcapacity in china — most notably in the steel sector. china invested four times as much in the eu last year as european companies did in china. meanwhile, eu investment in china fell for the second consecutive year — to 7.7 billion euros. chinese and eu leaders are hoping to agree a joint statement on the paris climate agreement, saying it is "an imperative more important than ever". that of course is widely seen as a rebuff to the us, as president trump looks set to announce the us will withdraw from the deal. with me is dr linda yueh, fellow in economics at oxford university. ben was running through some of the issues there, if they are looking to doa issues there, if they are looking to do a deal, do you think there is enough that unites them, enough common ground to override the point of division? in terms of climate change it would be easy for them to come to an agreement because
