if you look at what the eu has called through over the last ten yea rs eu has called through over ther so, an economic eu has called through over the last ten years or so, an economic crisis, refugees, terrorism, now we have to deal with a world run by people like trump, putin, we are facing brexit. you know what, the european union is still there, it is strong, it hasn't fallen apart and popular support is growing. no doubt it is still there at but whether it is coherent is another matter. in a sense, the most powerful political figure in the another matter. in a sense, the most powerful politicalfigure in the eu is emmanuel macron, he has a strong vision of deepening european sovereignty, but frankly most other leaders are not there any more. the integrationist impulse is over. even your own prime minister in holland responding to him said integration for integration's sake will only harm future public support for the eu. so when you tell me there is a clear direction of travel, there isn't. there has never been integration for integration's sake. never. it has been integration in o

the anti—eu nationalists are not the majority.ed because they are beginning to realise that they have to act, and i would also like to stress that yes, the european union, we are not... we have a way of doing things. it's always about compromise, consensus, it is a bit slow, it is not very sexy and heroic, you know, the way that we take decisions. if you look at what the eu has gone through over the last ten years or so — an economic crisis, refugees, terrorism, now we have to deal with a world run by people like trump, putin, we are facing brexit. and you know what, the european union is still there, it is strong, it hasn't fallen apart and popular support is growing. no doubt the european union is still there but whether it is coherent is another matter. in a sense, the most powerful politicalfigure in the eu is emmanuel macron in france, he has a strong vision of deepening european sovereignty, but frankly most other european leaders are not there any more. the integrationist impulse is over. even your own prime minister in hol

it is the same thing for eu citizens. of examples of further investment is put into the uk. but also put in mind that in relation to maintaining the supply of six weeks of medicine, bear in mind the government already works with pharmaceutical companies to make sure we have three months worth of stock for over 200 medicines over that scheme. we are used to having some disruption in relation to supply. whether it is because of issues on the eu side, not political ones, but for example industrial action at the border, this may well be in the worst—case scenario a different scale which is why we take these further practical measures to make sure see continuity of supply. the timing of the technical notices, building on the two years work of work we have already done and i hope i set out clearly on my speech is precisely in order to give those in order the time they need. i will ta ke order the time they need. i will take one more question from the gentleman here. you have said the army will not be used for food distribution.

he said he expected to strike a strong deal with the eu, but... e to consider the alternative, that the eu doesn't match our ambition and practices and we do not reach a deal. let me be clear about this, it is not what we want and it is not what we expect. but we must be ready. we have a duty as a responsible government to plan for every eventuality. the papers set out some specific action the government would take in the event of no deal, to keep the health service applied, the uk would continue to recognise eu medical devices, the government would guarantee payments to farmers, and eu banking and insurance companies could get temporary permission to operate in the uk. and the brexit secretary said this about life outside the eu food in some cases, it will mean taking unilateral action to maintain as much continuity as possible, at least in the short term, in the event of no deal, and irrespective of whether you reciprocate in practice. translated, unilateral action means voluntarily following eu rules and standards for a period after brexit to he

the eu insists it will treat treat the uk as eu insists it will treat treat the ukasa eu insists it willhat means applying all its rules and regulations and if uk medical regulators are not in the eu after exit, then they went to be counted and they won't be seen here special arrangements. —— they won't be counted. all on this relies in many ways on the eu to reciprocate. thank you. 0ur economics correspondent andy verityjoins me now. financial services so incredibly important is all this, what have you been picking up on reading through all the documents in front of you about what is said there? the most serious one is one we discussed recently to do with pensions. this may seem like a remote risk and you can get around there but there is a risk that people are not able to ta ke risk that people are not able to take their pensions. if they are british pensioners living in the rest of the eu, the problem is if at the moment you are an insurer in the uk you are automatically licensed in the rest of europe so it's no problem to pay pensions to someone living in spain or germany or italy. h

that is pretty much the diktats of the eu on this. n people in the uk, plus the1 million brits in the eu and the 3 million eu citizens in the uk and it goes from very broad areas, i mentioned borders and goes on to talk about medicine as we heard from susana mendonca talking about the sense that britain will take in the testing of products from the eu as it does at the moment to speed the flow because that is a priority of the health system. but dominic raab said in good faith he would hope the eu allowed for british testing. well, there's a rub already because going back to july well, there's a rub already because going back tojuly the eu's documents said they wouldn't look at british testing of medical products because britain is a third country. we think that also applies for blood testing as well. so it goes from the broadbrush to the minutiae of the advice for producers of electric cigarettes, and even one for the producers of torture products that might be sent around the eu for museums and advice on what they should look at. eve

goods into the eu, the eu says we are third countries now and therefore the eu will impose necessaryrnment only operates on the territory of the uk. the uk government has no mandate to tell the eu what to do which is the problem because things can be business as usual in the uk but not on the other side and that is where exports go. professor, thank you. the number of eu citizens coming to the uk is continuing to fall. net migration from the eu — the difference between those arriving and those leaving — was 87,000 in the year up to march, that's less than half the numbers in 2016, down from nearly 190,000. but overall the net migration of people coming here from everywhere else is 270,000, still way above government targets. and you can find out more detail about what's in the government papers with our analysis on the bbc website — www. bbc. co. uk/politics. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are the author and journalist rachel shabi. and laura perrin

natural consequence of the uk falling out of the eu and its customs union anda nonmember. the uk plans today, in some places they rely on copying eu rules, in other places on wave big brother them and hoping for reciprocation. here, there's no sign the eu would do that. in fact their preparedness notices say the eu and uk would have to be treated as a nonmember and what they stress here is the way to avoid no deal is to solve it by concluding those negotiations that have been going on for more than a yearfor have been going on for more than a year for a withdrawal treaty that would deal with many of these issues for the time being. the problem at the heart of that, really that border with ireland, how to avoid those controls, and here it will be noted that those papers today have noted that those papers today have no new answers. so when mr raab comes back here next week saying he is look up looking to wrap up the negotiations the questions for him will be on that issue, how do you avoid border controls in ireland? damian grammaticas in brussels, thank you. few

the number of eu citizens coming to the uk is continuing to fall.arriving and those leaving — was 87,000 in the year up to march. that's less than half the numbers in 2016. but overall the net migration of people coming here from everywhere else was still way above government targets. jeremy corbyn has suggested that a windfall tax could be levied on technology giants like google, amazon and facebook to pay for public interest journalism. speaking at the edinburgh television festival, the labour leader called for a digital licence fee to help fund the bbc, paid for by big tech companies and internet providers. a bicycle hire firm is threatening to pull out of manchester because of an increase in theft and vandalism. mobike says it'll end its service in "weeks not months" unless there's a reduction in theft and damage to its bikes, which can be unlocked with an app and parked anywhere. the chinese company says 10% of its fleet in manchester was taken out of use last month alone. here's dan johnson. unloved, abandoned, unrideable. and mobike says enou

for the food industry a need for a new tracking system to replace the one we share with the eu. anies, questions over how much vital trade across the uk eu border could continue. the government also gave details about the £40 billion medicines sector, and to look at that, here's our health editor, hugh pym. hospital managers in the health and care system have been concerned that, in the event of no deal, there will be delays that ports and essential supplies of medicines will get through quickly enough. the government has told them today, don't worry about that, the supply system will be ta ken care off. doctors have been urged not to sign longer dated prescriptions for patients who feel they read morten madsen. ministers told them to build up six weeks of supplies of medicines and at the same time have been reassured that anything tested in europe will be allowed into the uk. the industry has welcomed all that but said building up six weeks of supplies won't be straightforward. one of the most delicate areas is northern ireland and the border with the republic. what could no dea

and the eu if the eu speaks with one voice. think it will be much more difficult for him to bounce the eu around. >> another counterpart that could be seen as equivalent, china. we had another round of u.s./china talks last week with no negotiations coming out of that is that the bigger issue when it comes to trade >> certainly it is, particularly when trump has an axe to grind with china the chinese stock market is not doing that well. some kind of a break through there would be very, very helpful. but then on the other hand currently we're going nowhere, and i think the current dynamics will remain in place the asian markets will probably suffer on the back of that >> we hope to hear from liam fox later on in this hour. i wanted to ask about brexit it's something we have heard a lot about over the last 24 hours. we had the german foreign minister saying no deal is a possibility. it's something on the table. it seems to be something that is taken seriously by people in britain, brussels, berlin. how do you factor that into you

food standards, our pursuit of equivalency arrangements on food regulation with the eu and indeedrms of financial funding streams. so let me reassure you that, contrary to one of the wilder claims, you will still be able to enjoy a blt after brexit and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain food supplies. niall dickson is co—chair of the brexit health alliance — a lobby group bringing together the nhs, the medical research industry and public health organisations. he says the move is reassuring — but there's more work necessary. the government clearly is hoping for the best but has recognised that it must plan for the worst. there is no doubt that in the area were for example, in the supply of medicines, it does present a serious risk. it will be an unprecedented territory. the guidance coming out today, admittedly quite high level, is starting to say that we will need six weeks of stockpiles of every medicine and medicines of a short sheu medicine and medicines of a short shelf life will need to arrange the potential of having f rate transport to avoid any blockages at

post—brexit. part of london's access to the eu post-brexit. de in a meeting with sitting eu leaders to discuss the government's checkers strategy and one of the concerns he voice was that the eu, after an initial period of try to keep things as they are after brexit, to make sure that there is not much disruption which could also impact european union countries. that they could be a tense afterwards, especially led by the french, to make sure there are limitations to limit access for city —based companies are. french have the reputation of being more in favour of redtape then the british, thatis favour of redtape then the british, that is one of the things where if the uk leads the eu, certain rules will just be the uk leads the eu, certain rules willjust be made without its input. that is one of the things, that the german government has been concerned about. this liberal —— liberal and market orientated, they are more in favour of regulation. we hear a lot about this term of project topic at fear, that is is expected to be what is within the

he also made points that the eu and france believed in. t good terms withjohn, and possibly part of the result is that the ta riffs part of the result is that the tariffs on aluminium and steel did not happen for europe. —— on good terms with donald trump. what he is not going to do is advise europe to meet the british government halfway. we are now eight months from britain leaving europe. there is a feeling in brussels and in paris that the british government was incredibly unprepared and has done nothing professional to tackle the problems of brexit, i hesitate to say. yes, mrs may should get some help because eu will sufferfrom a mrs may should get some help because eu will suffer from a hard mrs may should get some help because eu will sufferfrom a hard brexit with no deal. at the same time, the feeling that it is up to the europeans to counter the other partners in this divorce who had not prepared anything and says meet me halfway, that is probably not going to happen. that is really interesting, that you think he won't sort of meat

britain closer to the united states. —— the eu doesn't want a no deal. keen on a big trading deal with britain and i'm not entirely sure how convinced the trump administration is that that's their priority. well, i think you are an expert in that area and you probably know more than me. all i can say is there is a fine line to be tried by the eu at the moment. 0n the one hand what they don't want to do is liberate uk business, do have an even more advantageous position than they have today. there is an element of curtailing. having said that, they realised the uk is an important trading partner, particularly in food where the eu has a net surplus of 6 billion to the uk. the british woman, nazanin zaghari ratcliffe, who's been imprisoned in iran for more than two years, has been temporarily released. her family say she's been freed from jail in tehran for three days. ms ratcliffe has been accused of spying, a charge she denies. the terms of her release are strict, she can't speak to the media, but ms ratcliffe has been reunited with her four—year—old daug

i think the eu have a lot more to lose than britain if no deal is secured. in the end... we will get something? there will be a deal and it will go down to the wire, but jacob rees—mogg thinks we could go under the wto rules, but ultimately there will be a deal and it will be last minute. it will be midnight. do you think the process will help to achieve that, rachel, anyway in which this might actually focused the minds of it? no, i mean, as we can see, now we have the cabinet not just divided over the negotiations but divided over the process of preparing for no deal, and actually i think when it comes down to the wire, you know, maybe theresa may will come away with a deal from the eu, but at that state parliament has to vote for it and the reality is there is no majority for anything in parliament. and certainly there is no constituency for the high brexit that theresa may seems to want to get. she doesn't seem to want to face down the fundamentalist in her cabinet. that is the scenario we will see happen in parliament. they will see happen in parliament.

they being the eu need to accept that we have done nothing wrong. what? sbon treaty which says they have an obligation to help us and what they are trying to rely on is the general principles that are set out in the treaty as if that is a ha rd out in the treaty as if that is a hard law they will use. we're still told that britain is still ready to walk away without a deal, but we will make clear whose fault it was and it sounds like child. downing street also insist that theresa may remains confident of getting a good deal. never mind all of the above, we are still on track to getting a really good deal, apparently. confidence is what sees you through negotiations, it is not about hard fa cts , negotiations, it is not about hard facts, it is about being positive, but also threatening them that you're not afraid of no deal which you're not afraid of no deal which you will then blame on them. you're not afraid of no deal which you will then blame on themli you're not afraid of no deal which you will then blame on them. i used to work in the office of a divo

if you look at what the eu has called through over the last ten yea rs eu has called through over thet ten years or so,

they may be able to affect the financial services in the uk to be closer to eu rules. in the medium term what the uk should be looking at is trying to get... replace the possible loss of eu market access with financial services deals with other countries and particularly emerging markets in the far east. it isn't as apocalyptic as some of the warnings we've been hearing about brexit, it's a concern in the medium—term france might try to snatch business from the city of london. the french have made it their business to attract business away from the uk to france, so we shouldn't be surprised? there's also solve machinations. huizing these diplomatic mysteries, even in the la st diplomatic mysteries, even in the last ten days —— there's all sorts of machinations —— we've seen. theresa may meeting macron in the south of france. dominic raab flying to brussels. they resemble top executives going out as brand ambassadors. it is the last chance saloon to make any of this happen. as tony said, as we're hearing, it is time to encourage growth. they are spreading their bets and

we don't know what type of deal you have with the eu. ngs i want to point out is that while it sounds very good to open other fronts, that while it sounds very good to open otherfronts, nigeria, kenya and south africa together, from a gdp point of view, roughly the size of the netherlands. that illustrates the point that it will not replace the point that it will not replace the relationship the uk has with the eu by any means, but from the point of view of the uk, she is going with a message that britain is open for business and they are trying to lay the foundations for this trip. very much so and she has two. obviously at the moment over summer you heard the threats about the no deal and that we might just the threats about the no deal and that we mightjust crash out, so she is totally right in trying to allay fears and say i am doing my part of thejob and fears and say i am doing my part of the job and i fears and say i am doing my part of thejob and i am trying to make sure that we can negotiate quickly trade deals elsewhere. china o

between dominic raab and the eu chief negotiator, michel barnier, in brussels. number ten that is picking up the pace of the negotiations. in the meantime we have had the people's vote campaign pushing for a final referendum on a brexit deal saying it will use funding it has received to carry out more polling to show views are changing on brexit. that views are changing on brexit. that view has been dismissed by brexiteers i spoke to this lunchtime, they said it is basically then in dreamland and they are trying to subvert the result of 2016. susana, thank you. the indonesian island of lombok has been shaken by another strong earthquake, after weeks of tremors that have killed more than a76 people. today's quake measured magnitude 6.3 and was at a depth of 4.9 miles. it caused landslides but it is not known if there are any casualties. nonsmokers have a higher risk of dying from serious lung disease if they grew up with parents who smoked, according to research carried out by the american cancer society. it found childhood passive smoking also increased the risk

but before that, they want to give a deal with the eu is on what the no deal plan would be. be meeting with michel barnier on tuesday in brussels, downing street said this was about picking up the pace and intensity of those negotiations because they want to get to a deal that can be one that suits both britain and the eu. still on the referendum, the debate continues. the a boost today for those who want to see another vote on the deal that may does or doesn't get? yes, so in terms of the people's vote campaign, people may have heard of them, they have been running a campaign over the summer where they are trying to push for their to be a referendum on the final deal where members of the public will get to vote on that. they have had some funding from a wealthy donor, £1 million, the biggest donation that they have had, and they said they will put this money into paying for polling to look at whether or not opinions have changed. tom baldwin, who runs the communications team, has said that he thinks it will show that opinion has changed. however, the brexiteers i've been sp

the target date for agreement between the eu leaders might just 5lip. here is some measure of leeway. so under the brexit timetable, what happens next? in september, negotiations inten5ify and eu leaders, including theresa may, meet in salzburg. in october, it's the eu summit to agree a deal, unless that 5lip5. then, a crucial vote in parliament on the divorce deal and future relationship. the following march, the uk leaves the eu. but will bru55el5 agree to british term5? the eu'5 chief negotiator is meeting dominic raab again on friday. plenty of goodwill on offer, but that didn't mean letting the uk pick and choose terms of trade. translation: there will be no a la carte menu for britain, though the uk could still have a closer relationship than any other non—eu state. but the truth is, the government has no wriggle room. any more concessions to brussels and the number of eurosceptic tory rebels will surely grow. parliament may well vote down any deal anyway. there's still no sign of an agreed plan to avoid a hard iri5h border and without one, a no—de

my seat voted 61—39 to leave the eu. eople who tell me they voted remain is that they've watched the negotiations, people are frustrated we haven't made more progress, but the way the eu have dealt with the uk government in these negotiations, a large number of former remain voters have come to the conclusion we couldn't possibly stay in this relationship any longer. it would be rather like returning to an abusive relationship if we stayed in. we would be an absolute doormat, and we have to leave. dominic raab, the brexit secretary, is going back to brussels this week, and we're told by downing street sources that they want to pick up the pace of the negotiations with michel barnier. are you backing theresa may's chequers plan for brexit? i'm not, no, the chequers plan is very poor. it's not the brexit i believe we voted for or promised the british people. in fact, i think it's so poor that i would not be willing to support chequers if the eu were paying us to sign for it. i'm supporting a canada plus plus plus free—trade

keen for the uk to ta ke eu which he is very keen for the uk to take part in. a personal mission to explain to eu leaders the contents of the white paper that the government published a few weeks ago. it wants it to be the basis for the political declaration that will emerge from the brexit talks about the shape of the future relationship between the two sides in the years to come. i think she wants to do it ina to come. i think she wants to do it in a personal way, leader to lead, rather than allowing the british position to be interpreted for her by michel barnier, the chief negotiator for the eu. and yet president macron seems to be clear that he is sticking with the guidelines set out by michel barnier, and mr barnier seems remarkably reluctant to budge, insisting that there will not be any flexibility in terms of allowing britain access to some bits of the eu without accepting other bits such as freedom of movement. there is no sign that president macron is preparing to break ranks from the other leaders and offer britain a new and better deal as a result

in october it is the eu summit to agree a deal u nless is the eu summit to agree a deal unless that slipship. the following march, the uk leaves the eu. but will brussels agree on british terms? lots of goodwill from the eu's chief negotiator today but that didn't mean letting the uk pick and choose terms of trade. translation: there would be no la ca rte translation: there would be no la carte menu for britain although the uk could still have a closer relationship than any other non—eu state, he said. but the truth is, the government has no wiggle room. anymore concessions to brussels and the number of eurosceptic tory rebels will grow. parliament may well vote down any deal anyway. there is still no sign of an agreed plan to avoid a hard irish border and without one, a no deal brexit becomes more likely. plans for the future after brexit are still a work in progress, just months before britain peels off and goes its own way. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. theresa may has arrived in nigeria on the second day of her trade mission — to boost ties with africa after brexit. the prime m

it is whether you think we will be better off in the eu or outside of the eu, that is the question.stion, but i can say if there is no deal brexit, britain will be worse off. if there is a deal, then let's look at the deal andi deal, then let's look at the deal and i can answer the question honestly when i know what it looks like. i can't answer a situation... we don't know what the deal looks like. i don't want to get bogged down on this, but if it is a good deal, you are saying that we will be better off outside the eu? can you say that? i hope that if there is a good deal that there will be benefits, there will obviously be losses as well, and some will be better off and some people won't, and that's the problem with the referendum outcome. i thinkjacob rees—mogg will be better off because he has managed to move his company to ireland so that they can trade within the eu but of course he can make speeches as to why the no deal brexit is good for the country. that is where i think the hypocrisy is, not how people answered single word a nswe rs not how people answered single word a

off yesterday by the eu and the three major member states of the eu that negotiated and signed the jcpoa following the us line for a change, germany and france. that statute basically says you cannot impose sanctions on us, is that the gist of what they are trying to say? it goes even further. it was introduced in 1996 in similar circumstances in retaliation to us sanctions on sudan and cuba and says it is actually illegal for european companies to comply with these sanctions, then it says that they cannot be enforced in any court in europe and finally it says that the eu will facilitate legal action by any company to recover assets from the sanctioning entity, rather than mutually stated, no less, the us government, to compensate itself any losses it has occurred. tough language, see how that pans out. for iranians, it is certainly not symbolic. already, ever since donald trump said we are going to do this, they have had to feel the pinch. as you going to do this, they have had to feelthe pinch. as you have going to do this, they have had to feel the pinch. as you have said, going to do

the university is saying no applications from the eu. oblems the staff storages string to emerge again. these trends are starting to build and have an overall negative impact. seeing that affect replicated all around the country. >> exit discussions resume in brussels today. what is the glass half-full scenario in the next month or so? >> i would a five to hold their breath for any kind of big breakthrough. building up their energy perhaps for another fight when they all return in a few weeks time. britney set up its position. what they are arguing about now are discussing is not really about the future trade deal. everyone needs to know what they need to know down now is a withdrawal agreement. that's what is to be agreed on by the and this year. avoid the transition to and no deal brexit. there's the northern ireland in the framework for the future trading relationship. you can imagine how some sort of could come together with they can get the agreement. there is surely a lot more argument over this question to come when mps return back

they are except -- expecting to sell into the eu. right now, that works really fine because what is the european union fundamentally? it is called a single market, which means there is free movement. absolutely free. no checking, no money, no anything. of goods, free movement of services, free movement of capital, and free movement of people. that is inherently that european single market. longern the u.k. is no part of the single market, there can be no free movement of goods, services, people, or capital. , when it goes over to the eu from the u.k., it may have to pay the tariff that is 10%. it may have to get -- he will have to get reinspected for the safety provisions around an automobile. that adds another $2000 per car carried it will have to go through customs clearance, which will take a couple of weeks. if you have salespeople who were commonly crossing the channel to help with the sales, not so much anymore. brexit has the potential to have a huge effect on $600 billion invested in the british market. fdi than 12% of all u.s

but what would that mean for the many eu citizens who live in the uk?bution, we want them to stay. it is inconceivable we would do anything other than make sure they are legally in a position where they are security state, but we need to set out the details of that in due course to do it in a responsible way. it is working out the structure, but legally they will be able to stay, they should not worry about being turfed out of the uk? there is absolutely no question you will see eu citizens turfed out, we have made that clear in the past, andl we have made that clear in the past, and i am happy to do that again today. the uk's latest plan for a new trading relationship with the eu has been dismissed by brexiteers as a betrayal and criticised by the eu. is it not the truth that even if you have a vague outline of what it looks like, it is a leap into the dark? it would take years to negotiate this stuff? that is wrong, certainly we want to make sure we hammerout as certainly we want to make sure we hammer out as much of the detail as possible. it's reall

the growth in exports comes from non—eu trade. ade will come from non—eu countries. i am vast increase in trade will come from non—eu countries. iam not vast increase in trade will come from non—eu countries. i am not sure why he is being... his lack of optimism about the outcome is strange in my view. is he notjust echoing what members of the government have said, including the foreign secretary who has talked about the possibility of falling into an accidental no deal brexit? what the foreign secretary said was the eu are dragging their heels and not negotiating sensibly. if they don't, come the autumn, they will have to say we have tried to reach an agreement with the eu, you guys are not an agreement with the eu, you guys a re not interested an agreement with the eu, you guys are not interested in doing a sensible agreement so our trade policy in future will be based on wto rules and you will not get £39 billion as a payoff, eu, and you will not get the £8.8 billion per year you get at the present time each year. i think that i

here at westminster, talk of leaving the eu without a deal is a sensitive subject. as no bad thing. for others, it's the worst of all worlds. everyone, though, will be looking closely to see how the government has decided people should prepare. as the deadline for departure looms, what life could be like outside the eu without a brexit deal is about to become a little clearer. jonathan blake, bbc news. our political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. good morning to you. apparently dominic raab is going to talk about doing something unilaterally today — what does he mean by that? that's right. he is making a speech at about 11 o'clock this morning setting out the government's approach and part of that approach he would say in the event of a no deal would be for britain to take what he calls unilateral action. it sounds pretty tough, doesn't it, but i think what it actually means is that in effect britain would have no choice but to continue to follow eu rules in many areas voluntarily immediately after brexit and then in his words diverged from the european

a standard chartered rank executives said the demand by eu regulators could mean more jobs said the demandbeing sent from the uk overseas. europe and america's boss said the relatively small size of the eu market means it would not be moving hundreds of people. the uk lender is turning its frankfurt office into a european base due to brexit. and now to have a look at the rest of the week, the third largest wireless carrier is expected to publish their first half results later today. we know they are facing stiff competition for subscribers. we also have bhp billiton and releasing four year results on tuesday. and that is it. thank you for watching. this is bbc news. the top stories this hour: a small break in the weather has allowed rescuers in the indian state of kerala more access to those affected by the worst flooding for a hundred years. but thousands have been made homeless by the disaster north korea is set to host a temporary reunion of families separated by the korean war. a total of 93 people from the south and 88 from the north will be able to meet their family members for three

he has made similar claims about the eu, germany. see currency manipulation when you look out over the major economies? do you see anyone manipulate their currency? the european central bank certainly is not manipulating the euro. point is based on ,he economic outlook of europe growth, employment, and achieving our price ability target. we do not usually comment on other central banks, other currencies. my reading of the china situation is that the chinese have weakened because of the threat of escalation of the trade war, not because of manipulation of any central bank. expect the trade war to cause risk to the european economic outlook as well? see a directot impact, and they are unfortunately so far -- on the other hand, we have seen confidence. it is potentially damaging for growth and employment. on the other hand, the cease-fire between the eu and the u.s. achieved by president uecker and trump in late july -- president [indiscernible] we think they would not escalate the trade war's because that would damage the world economi

that's not coming from the eu and the us.n the leader of the opposition, nelson chamisa, says on twitter, we won and we will defend it, isn't that going to lead to violence? not necessarily. you're absolutely right, the army should not have opened fire. but on that point, that it shouldn't have opened fire, the eu and us, who were there as investors and observers, they should have a word with china and china is keeping awfully quiet on this. the chinese are massive investors, the chinese are massive investors, the chinese government listens to china. instead of the eu and the us saying, as they've done, and the uk as a former colonial power, saying, calm, have a quick word with the chinese and said to them to tell the government to keep calm. interesting you say that, before robert mugabe stepped down from power... was pushed from power. however you want to describe his removal, emmerson mnangagwa went to china and discussed what was going on there prior to any of this taking place. a very interesting point you're making. let
