the u.k. has been clear about the importance of g20 to international economic cooperation and the rules-based order. the g20 brings together countries that collectively constitute 85% of gross world product. two thirds of the world's population and one half of the land area. it is a vital form in which we can work together to achieve strong, sustainable and balanced growth. 10 years on from the last g20 leaders meeting, this has been a productive summit. we make strong commitments to work together on a range of areas, including reform of the world trade organization and making the global economy work for everyone. we also discussed key priorities, such as tackling climate change and promoting global health. and i welcome the commitments made on stepping up the fight against modern slavery. over the course of the summit, i have had a number of meetings leaders as well as discussing bilateral relationships and the regional and global security issues. this summit has given me the opportunity to up

and for the first time in more decades, the u.k. ll have an independent trade policy, playing an active role global stage as we take up our seat at the wto in april 2019. this deal sets a path for the brighter future, has been affirmed by the discussions days.ad over the past two with friends and partners making clear that they are keen to sign implement ambitious free trade agreements with us as soon as possible. thank you. now, pass on to some questions. i think -- am i right in saying youryour last -- this is last trip? >> i think it might be. but it won't be an easy it.tion, because of prime minister, a third of the youe envoy mp's that appointed aren't going to vote for your trade deal. offering that, in trade to europe, you can't offer tol-blooded good trade deals partners here. what have you been telling people, like the japanese and canadians? you offered them a full-blooded good trade deal? you can't. >> first of all, we will have an independent trade policy. tradel be able to reach deals around the rest of the world. thatwe

and the u.k. are now busy pushing contingency measures in place with the knowledge that a no deal drugs this would actually be a pretty big deal well i am joined tonight by the barber of a's old from brussels barbara has been on the front line of the battles since day one she has chronicled every twist and turn in her bra diaries some of her more recent entries are entitled wives and anarky the dream has died or how about this one a monkey piet's on mad house in westminster. barbara why monty python is it if greg says that funny or is bad. it is maybe funny only for the outside of service but it is a rather man and served like many of monte python sketches for instance recently after the no confidence vote against series m a from this side of own tory party in a sort of parliamentarians voted against her because she was too soft on vets it afterwards you know the dead parrot sketch came to mind and the question is the prime minister politically dead or is she just resting or is she after all nailed

the u.k. this morning. i want to bring in stacey widlitz. good morning to you, stacey. are you surprised at, one, the extent of the profit warning that asos delivers this morning and the extent of the move that we're seeing in the share price, down almost 40%? >> yes good morning it's a retail red monday here. certainly we've had warnings in the market already we've heard from a number of retailers saying november is very tough very promotionally u.k you can name the list. we had certainly mike ashley last week, came out and gave us a little preview talking about how terrible the month of november is, and he wasn't kidding. i think the interesting thing with asos is that actually the u.k. business held off it was heavy discounting, that was really the issue consumers are looking for cheaper products that is a trend that i don't think will change and i think most interesting is that when you look at this business, they had been raising cap exand now they're cutting it into weakness this creates

we asked the u.k. foreign office to comment on the integrity initiative allegations it told us that the claims were being spread by kremlin news channels as part of a russian this information campaign we spoke to piers robinson chair in politics at sheffield university he says that this is much less about countering mr propaganda and more about sowing and i'm betting narratives on domestic and regional level. it seems to be just as much about promoting insuring up official u.k. policy towards russia as it is about actually countering any russian threat the u.k. government and other western governments in the us in recent years have had increasing difficulties persuading enough of their populations as to for legitimate see the foreign policies that they have been pursuing and at the same time western countries have been going through a period of political crisis an economic crisis and i think a lot of this drive is as much about trying to shore up shakey official narratives and trying to shore up politic

countries who are working in the u.k. students what happens to trade what happens if somebody is arrested for example on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth dean and they haven't been transferred to the other country. all of these all of these issues are provided for in the agreement now if there isn't an agreement well i think we're very much into uncertain territory there is the provision that the deadline the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nine hundred dead line that can be extended by agreement. the british prime minister has said that she's not countenance saying that i think where if it were to allow for more time to discuss and debate things i think that there may well be agreement on that but of course it does require the agreement of all twin. the seven member states were remaining in the european union to agree to that extension of time that's probably the most likely scenario it's very difficult to countenance a situation that would arise on the twenty ninth of march where there is no agreement i thin

taken off there in the u.k. that's very very clear and they will do anything to try to further that that you know what's been happening is it's i would good for us call it harassment i think putting the pictures the photographs of people who work on a in a newspaper like that i think is tantamount to incitement almost it might put those people's lives in danger people who work for russian media british journalist who work i think are in threat persecuted and i think that you know we've got to stand up against this years of. mccarthyism on steroids really what we've got at the moment. and it's articles on russia other times frequently sites ben memo defense fellow with the atlantic council has posted numerous anti russian tweets in the most latest article also talks about alleged violations by r t and the possibility of sanctions against this channel as that r.t. only emphasizes the kremlin's position while giving a little airtime to critics numers name has already appeared in documents showing his alleged links t

the u.k. and the european union have agreed to the terms of the divorce and all that is left is for the british parliament to approve it. we expect that will come in the next few weeks. the deal may hurt silicon valley's trade with great britain, but may very well strengthen our ties with ireland. ireland, you will remember, is its own country. part of the e.u., it's not leaving, and it's home to lots of silicon valley european headquarters. part of ireland's development agency, our go-to guy on european issues here to talk about brexit, what means for silicon valley. it's brexit for dummies. no dumb questions. okay. so we're at this vote point with the british parliament. they can vote yes to the deal. they can vote no to the deal. if they vote no, it's kind of a disaster. they are calling that a hard exit. what is a hard exit? >> the first thing is the u.k. has been a part of the european union for over 45 years. so you have a whole bunch of regulations, rights, you have directive, et cetera,

taken off air in the u.k. that's very very clear and they will do anything to try to further that and what's happened what's the latest sort of cricket but this is of course been the leaking of the documents written into the so-called integrity initiative which anonymous apparently got these documents they leaked that they published them and sport nikken r.t. reported on these leaks and this is public interest because these leaks appear to show that the foreign and commonwealth office of the u.k. has been funding an organization which is aim was to the states to be to counter russian propaganda but actually has been indulging in propaganda of its own and for example it was revealed that integrity you know she too has been sending complaints in the off call about r.t. and was urging all requesting an investigation into r.t. which is what has actually happened has been an investigation an r.t.s. would be taken off air so it's public interest i think all media outlets and here are all proper media outlets should b

this is not just to do the u.k. this is europe wide and there also are indications from the documents that they are intending to start to have some kind of impact within the united states it's a very wide ranging network it seems we've established a reason why it needs to be covertly of course is that if a media organization or of a journalist is to let on that he or she is involved in a program which quite clearly is pushing a particular agenda then the credibility of that journalist will be damaged and this is really what is very deceptive about the integrity initiative it's about co-opting journalists and academics into a into essentially a campaign which appears to be a propaganda campaign in order to manipulate opinions and the only way that can really work effectively is that readers and viewers don't know what they're reading is something which has emerged from a particular political agenda when they know best the story went further with new leaked documents claiming the group could have dragged ukrainian sold

and the u.k. on both sides has been the question of the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland remind us what the backstop is and why this is been such a sticking point in the backs of is effectively and it's an insurance policy twenty years ago we had a peace agreement in the agreement was yes there is a sovereign border there but if we will keep it open we will keep it open for the thirty thousand people who commute back and forth to keep it open for the traders so that effectively we have one trading regime but of course of britain wants to leave the e.u. the free market and. this is going to cause. tremendous problem for traders for people who you're dealing with two different regimes and when you have two different regimes you've borders when you have borders you've queues and you've queues you don't have trade so i think what the backstop is basically the britain can do whatever it wants its it will be its own party it can do what it wants outside the e.u. but not at the

about the u.k. government's hostile foreign policy and hostile environment from libya and yemen to all grieve and as the trades union congress celebrates its one hundred. fiftieth anniversary today we go to the site of the battle of all green where tens of thousands of office goggles and u.n. miners were attacked by thousands of police following the lord mayor's appeal to home secretary sajid javid we speak to the general secretary of you am and a minor arrested on that day. that's all coming up in today's edition of going underground well i mean the lord mayor of sheffield's office and with me is the lord mayor of sheffield called beth thank so much for letting all you know i'm going to. ask you how come you're here there are pictures of the first lord mayor sheffield william jeff gold a rather mining company. you. and you know what is honestly me being lord mayor is such a celebration of the so many other people about it with be a mother who made sacrifices will be friends who grabbed me and so the

it is the fact the u.k. mind about what kind of relationship they want to have with the european union. that is two years after the vote. francine: maria, thank you very much. they're from brussels to discuss up to jalal come of this meeting. we're going back to david riley. david, if you look at industries in the u.k., we were talking to the health secretary matt hancock. talking about supply shortages, of planes not landing in heathrow. can you bet on what industries could benefit from a hard brexit? is that something you want to go down? situationhink in this where you're describing, it is a no deal brexit, so there is that transition period, no arrangements in place for continuity. there are even issues around continuity of contract in financial markets and in terms of insurance contracts. what i would say is fundamentally, this is ongoing negative impact on the u.k. economy. i think steering clear of retell sector. i think some of the banks, particularly those who are most domestically exposed, have been

in 40 years, time the u.k. will be able to find new trade dealers and open new markets for goods and services in the fastest-growing economies around the world. the future, relationship also includes a comprehensive new security partnership with law enforcement and judicial corporations to keep all of our people safe. at the outset, we were told that being outside the area, we would be treated like any other non-eu state on security. this includes arrangements for data exchange on name records, fingerprints, and vehicle registration data as well as extradition arrangements. sharingto the way of information included in databases of wanted and missing persons and criminal records. and complexn a long negotiation. it has required give and take on both sides and that is the nature of a negotiation. this deal on is the result of the referendum while providing close economic and security relationship with our nearest neighbors and in so doing offers a brighter future for the british people outside of the eu. i can say
