says brexit will draw deeper eu integration. >> once brexit is completed, the eu will not be the same again. i am fully aware of the fact that the ukrticular has been a very attractive place to invest and locate services, financial industry and others. i'm a bit more skeptical about the fact that after brexit is completed this will be untouched. i'm not saying this because i like the view, because this is going to be a fact at the same time, this i'm saying because it's happening, i'm convinced that also because of brexit that the european union will accelerate integration. so there might be some acceleration of differences between the uk out of the european union and the rest of the european union i'm not happy about this but i think this will happen >>> on a different topic, hadley also spoke to top hollywood agents about the sexual harassment scandal shaking the entertainment business >> was disgusting. and it seems as if the board new. and something should have been done about it a lot earlier. and there's no room for that, whether it's in the entertainment business or any business i'm not sure what you mean by complicit. the b

and the top story here in the uk. brexitegotiations between the uk and the european union are deadlocked over the size of britain's financial commitment when it leaves. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said insufficient progress had been made to allow talks to move on to a possible trade deal. send someone hits a record high in profits. —— samsung. and the new silk route. we visit a thriving port city in pakistan which is attracting billions of dollars from china. good morning, asia. hello, world. it is friday. glad you could join us for this condition. we start with samsung and they estimate their third—quarter operating profit nearly tripled compared to one year ago, beating expectations due to demand that their memory chips. does this mean the south korean giant may have bounced back from last year's costly recall of the galaxy note 7. i posed this question earlier.m you look at the market, they had a good launch in septemberfor the note eight. the programmes are in place. even though there was strong despite wh

for eu citizens to remain in the uk after brexit. but it's widely expected that the eu leaders will make it clear that they are not yet ready to open talks with britain about a post—brexit trade deal. mrs may is being urged by some in her party to issue an ultimatum and say that if trade talks don't begin soon, britain will settle for a no deal on brexit. this report from our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. are you confident of progress today, prime minister? deal or no deal? at this stage, it is no deal. the jugular and the talks both making slow progress —— the jaguar. gathering in brussels, the leaders from the eu's 27 other countries have made plain they are not satisfied with what the uk is proposing in the negotiations and their conditions have not been met. he said the conditions are clear, what conditions? about the rights of the citizens, preconditions also

the international think tank, the 0ecd, says reversing brexit and staying in the eu would significantly boost the ukavid davis said the uk is trying for a deal but must be prepared to walk away without one. here's our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. something, someone‘s got to break the deadlock, but who? the brexit secretary is refusing to promise upfront the cash brussels wants. borisjohnson is toughest of all, but this is a risky game. an international think tank is warning a hard brexit with no deal could harm britain badly, and uncertainty could hinder the economy ahead of any outcome. there is a bit of a... a bit of a bumpy road. it will be crucial that the uk and the eu maintain the closest economic relationship possible. in its latest survey, the 0ecd says the no deal brexit could mean... business investment would seize up and heightened price pressures would choke off private consumption. so business and consumers would suffer. the report even suggests giving voters another referendum and stopping brexit might significantly help the economy. neither the government or its main opponents

about the danger of not getting a deal and the danger of not getting a deal and the risk of brexit uncertainty. the uk'sis of course the source and i don't need to tell you this is not something which is either a mystery... is an element of uncertainty and therefore will continue to weigh on the outlook of the economy. until those uncertainties are resolved. the oecd even suggested another vote could have a positive effect on the economy. the government says there will be no second referendum. it is working to get a good deal, but it is unlikely that when eu leaders meet ina is unlikely that when eu leaders meet in a few days, they will agree to start talking trade or future relationships. they still have to resolve some of the separation issues first, not least what the uk might pay the eu. there's been no major breakthrough in these talks, despite diplomatic efforts. last night's dinner resorted to grow resulted in one word, but both sides behind the scenes seems to be standing firm on the financial settlement. although the uk says the meal was constructive. settlement. although the uk says the mealwa

donald tusk thinks brexit is a terrible idea and a tragedy for the eu and uk. p to the eu to come forwards with proposals for phase two of the brexit deals, about the trade and relationship between the uk and eu. she wanted the eu to generate some ideas. i think this was donald tusk very politely putting people back in her court, saying suggestions for a future relationship need to come from london, not brussels. and the eu commission president, jean—claude juncker, has also separately talked about the possibility of a trade agreement with britain after brexit, possibly in three years. how significant is that? there is a bit of confusion about these comments because it came from an interview done by the eu chief negotiator, michel barnier, to a group of newspapers on the continent. they did ajoint newspapers on the continent. they did a joint interview and one reporter asked him, is it possible that the negotiations could take longer than the two—year implementation period everyone has pencilled in? you said yes, it could be three years. but i understand from mr

it comes as the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said there was "deadlock" over the uk's brexit at a muted rate in the third quarter of 2017 despite progress in the manufacturing sector with an improvement in exports. the british chambers of commerce said in services, sales and orders remained static and many uk businesses faced worsening recruitment difficulties. low—income tenants are now spending an average of 28% of their wages on rent, up from 21% in the mid—1990s, according to the institute for fiscal studies. over the same period, the proportion of people renting homes privately has increased from 8% to 19% and average private rents have gone up 33%. the ifs says renters have been hit by substantial cuts to housing benefit, with government support expected to fall "further and further behind" the cost of housing. shares in provident financial are up 10% today — it's one of the best performers on the market. but if you hold the shares you'll be acutely aware they are down 70% since the summer. they're business is giving loans to people usually shunned by the mainstream ban

ijust want to know the view of the indian side of things about what the eu can offer without the uk when brexit. that is an important point. the uk is india's largest exports market in the eu. now that brexit negotiations are under way, we believe until the time those formalities are done, this trade negotiation with europe will ta ke trade negotiation with europe will take time. europe has already offered more investment in infrastructure projects in india. there is an announcement by the european union investment bank for urban infrastructure and transport. also, they are offering liberalised visas for indian intellectuals, which they have been campaigning for very hard. let's go to asia now. and another dent on the reputation of the japanese car industry. nissan is recalling all 1.2 million cars it sold in its home market over the past three years. the country's transport ministry has found cars were being signed off for delivery without being checked by qualified technicians. rico hizon is following this for us in singapore. ben! good to see. tell us more. you better watch out. if you have

there are around 500,000 farmers in the uk, producing 60% of the food we eat. and while many aspects of the brexit the eu is likely to trigger the most significant changes to uk agricultural policy since the 1970s. so what might this mean forfood production, and for the consumer? sarah dickins has been to carmarthenshire to take a look at how the dairy industry might be affected. every afternoon and morning this herd of 350 dairy cows head for the milking par low. their quality milk goes into large—scale cheese production. but this family expects its costs to go but this family expects its costs to 9° up but this family expects its costs to go up after brexit, and for prices to rise in the shops. the cost of importing feed to feed these cows is going to go up, the cost of labour to milk the cows is going to go up. if the costs aren't covered we can't keep producing the food, simple as that. son danielworks on keep producing the food, simple as that. son daniel works on the farrell and they employ a couple from latvia, paying them more than £50,000 a year between them we are lucky to have these guy

prime minister's speech in florence lifted the tone, but the eu says the uk has not provided solutions to the problems caused by brexithe issue of citizens rights, the uk must provide legal certainty, including a role for the european court ofjustice. 0n ireland, the uk needs to present and commit to flexible and imaginative solutions. 0n the financial settlement, the uk must make a firm and concrete commitment to settle all its obligations. mrs may has already had one dinner in brussels on monday. she is under pressure from some at home to walk away from the talks. also in brussels today, saying no deal would be a disasterfor the uk, jeremy corbyn. the prime minister seems to have managed to upsetjust about everybody and have a warring cabinet around her. it is up to her to get the negotiations back on track. we cannot countenance the idea we rush headlong into no deal with europe. it all means this summit on the eu leaders will not approve a move to a trade talks and it will not happen until the issues on the table are resolved. the summit gets under way in the next hour. the prime minister arrived a short time ago

as we've heard eu leaders are expected to confirm they're not ready to begin the second phase of brexit talks on the uk'spondent chris morris is here to explain. after five rounds of brexit negotiations, the eu has decided that "sufficient progress" has not yet been made. eu leaders are set to confirm that tomorrow, friday. there are several things to be resolved. but basically, at the moment, it all comes down to money. in her speech in florence, theresa may pledged to pay up to £18 billion into the eu budget in 2019 and 2020, to ensure that other countries aren't out of pocket. she also said the uk would "honour commitments" it has made as a member state. but eu negotiators, urged on by all the other member states, want to know what that means in practice. looming large in the background is something called the reste a liquider — eu money that has already been committed to projects in the long—term budget but has not yet been spent. the ral is currently running at an eye—watering £213 billion, which could mean a uk share of more than 26 billion. much of it is due to be spent on big infrastructure or de

the uk leaves. from donald tusk who chaired the summit here last week, he said it is up to the uk how this ends, in a good deal, no deal or even know brexitbefore, and again today, and he even said the uk could reverse course. well, tonight a conservative backbencher is calling for £1 billion to be set aside in the budget in the event of a "no deal" in the brexit negotiations. charlie elphicke, who's on the influential conservative european research group, led an adjournment debate this evening in the commons. he insists that the money should be spent on upgrading our border systems and infrastructure. we can now speak to our political correspondent, chris mason, who's following this story for us and joins us live from our westminster studio. chris, this debate on how much should be set aside in the event of no deal or even in the event of a brexit anyway, is quite divisive within the conservative party, isn't it? it is, good evening. it is divisive and tonight is the latest case study where it is bubbling up in public more and more as there is a general awareness in westminster that while most would like to see some sort of deal arrived

i was living in the uk as the brexit vote and i was hanging out with national french supporters and leadersnd france. and, so i ended up writing a little bit about my own country and given what's happened here. i do think in all of these places, it has become the central issue and europe is apart of that because so many refugees came in and a lot of people were understandably shaken and upset. that's a lot of people for any country to absorb in one year so i understand the grievances. >> have you figured out yet why break s brexit won in the uk and trump won in the u.s. and marine le pen lost in france and she's the one that you thought was going to win. what happened? >> that's a good question, i been thinking about that a lot myself. i think what happened in france, there was a very inspiring outsider candidate. emanuel macron was a lot like obama was in 2008, in the sense that he came from outside the political establishment. he presented this sort of exciting, young, confident persona that really latched on with a lot of people in france and there is a reacsidual fear. le pen, as much a

as the eu's chief brexit negotiator says talks with the uk are deadlocked over financial commitments, mp says british business is in despair. not one person i meet in those sectors wants us to continue with this folly of brexit. and the speaker gives mps pause for thought as he reveals the name of the family pet. and i don't have a dog. we have a cat called order. more on that a little later. but first the government's published legislation designed to lower the cost of gas and electricity bills. it will give the energy regulator ofgem the power to cap what are called standard variable tariffs. about 12 million households are on some form of default rates, which can cost hundreds of pounds a year more than the cheapest deals. the cap will last until 2020 and possibly be extended to 2023. i'm determined that we will be on the side of all consumers and ensure that the market can become more effective. our goal is to ensure a fair deal, so the market currently has not delivered this, and that is why the energy companies and 0fgem needed to act, but it is also precisely for this reason th

but the brexit secretary, david davis, insisted significant progress had been made, though he added that the ukring for all possible outcomes, including no deal. our correspondent richard galpin reports. the brexit secretary, david davis, heads out for more talks in brussels this morning. hoping to break the deadlock in this first phase of negotiations, dealing with the divorce settlement. but again no breakthrough, the biggest sticking point, how much britain should pay to leave the eu. continuing stalemate robert lee meaning eu leaders meeting next week will reject britain's calls to move on to negotiations on a trade deal. translation: on this question, we've reached a state of deadlock, which is very disturbing for the thousands of project promoters in europe, and it is also disturbing for taxpayers. on this basis, i'm not able, it is also disturbing for taxpayers. on this basis, i'm notable, in it is also disturbing for taxpayers. on this basis, i'm not able, in the current circumstances, to propose next week to the european council that we should start discussions on the future relationsh

the bbc website. brexit is dominating the news here in the uk again.lity of the uk and the eu failing to agree a deal on how this will work. the government says it has allocated £412 million to its departments for the next four years to prepare for brexit. and prime minister theresa may says £250 million has been provided this year to prepare for a range of brexit outcomes. but, the chancellor of the exchequer, philip hammond has said there will be no money spent or preparations made for a ‘no deal‘ scenario, that's until it looks like a strong possibility. here he is. we should look in each area at the last point at which spending and begin to ensure that we are ready for a day one no deal scenario and thatis for a day one no deal scenario and that is when we should start spending hard in taxpayer money because every pound we spend on contingent preparations for a hard customs border is a pound we cannot spend on the nhs, social care or education, deficit reduction. alex forsyth in westminster, it's extraordinary how we see the most powerful people in

warning from an influential think tank about the danger of not getting a deal, and the risk of brexit uncertainty. the uk'sor brexit in 2019 is of course a source, and i don't need to tell you, this is not something which is either a mystery or... it's creating an element of uncertainty, and therefore will continue to weigh on the outlook of the economy until those uncertainties are resolved. the oecd even suggested another vote could have a positive effect on the economy. the government says there'll be no second referendum — it is working to get a good deal, but it is unlikely that when eu leaders meet in a few days, they will agree to start talking trade or future relationships. they still have to resolve some of the separation issues first, not least what the uk might pay the european union. there's been no major breakthrough in these talks, despite diplomatic efforts. last night's dinner resulted in warm words, but both sides behind the scenes seem to be standing firm on the financial settlement. although the uk says the meal was constructive. it is always useful to meet informally to discuss the issu

max weber said if he wanted to call somebody in the uk about brexit, the wouldn‘t know who to ring upould it be david davis? and it is extraordinary, patrick, that we have a situation in which the foreign secretary has basically dominated three or four weeks of coverage with his own brexit vision. i don't agree with that at all. i think for the foreign secretary to have a role in brexit negotiations, surely that's part of the job description. without the permission of downing street? well, look, actually you could argue philip hammond was the one who broke the florence accord by immediately talking about this two—year non—implementation period running longer than that and he wants three or four years. boris then chips up and says, no, not a second more than two years. in ukip we think article 50 is the transition period and there's no need for any further delay beyond that. kate, do you think basically the cabinet hasn‘t made its mind up and we are seeing this infighting that perhaps won‘t do us any favours on the continent? it certainly won‘t be doing any favours from a pr perspectiv

prime minister's speech in florence did lift the tone, but the eu says the uk hasn't provided solutions to the problems caused by brexitly to say on the issue of citizens‘ rights the uk must provide legal certainty, including a role for the european court ofjustice. on ireland, the uk needs to present and commit to flexible and imaginative solutions. on a financial settlement, the uk must make a firm and concrete commitment to settle all its obligations. mrs may has already had one dinner in brussels, on monday. she is under pressure from some at home to walk away from the talks. also in brussels today, saying no deal would be a disasterfor the uk, isjeremy corbyn. the prime minister seems to have managed to upsetjust about everybody and have a warring cabinet around her. it's up to her to get the negotiations back on track. we cannot countenance the idea that we just rush headlong into no deal with europe. it means that this summit eu leaders won't approve a move to trade talks, and it won't happen until the issues on the table are resolved. damian grammaticas, bbc news, brussels. joining me from westminster, conserva

the independent. the brexit secretary david davis has suggested parliament might not get a vote on any brexit deal, until after the uke european union. he told a committee of mps it was possible that talks with brussels wouldn't conclude untiljust before the uk's withdrawal, in march 2019, and that ratification could happen, after that date. but labour says parliament has to have a meaningful vote on brexit, and that wouldn't be possible, if britain had already left. here's our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. brexit‘s about britain taking back control — the promise to the country before the eu referendum and since, but will the british parliament be guaranteed a vote on the historic deal to leave the european union before it's done? welcome, secretary of state. today, the minister in charge of brexit answered no. he told mps getting a deal, if there is one, could go down to the wire, the last moment before britain leaves. it's no secret that the way the union makes its decisions tends to be at the 11th minute, the 59th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day, and so on, and that's precisely what i'd expect to ha

mr tusk also said the outcome of the brexit talks is up to london, and that abandoning the decision to leave the eu is still an option for the uke correspondent damian grammaticas reports. with just a year until a brexit deal has to be done, the eu side is deeply uncertain about how this process will end, with an organised deal or chaotic split. huge challenges ahead, said donald tusk. ahead of us is still the toughest stress test. if we fail it, the negotiations will end in our defeat. donald tusk is no fan of brexit — he even hopes it may not happen. but he says success or failure in the talks depends on how the uk handles them. it is in fact up to london how this will end — with a good deal, no deal or no brexit. last week's summit in brussels brought no breakthrough. jean—claude juncker has denied theresa may begged him for help. today, he said the eu wants an agreement. the commission is not negotiating in that mood. we want a deal. those that don't want a deal, they have no friends in the commission. we want a fair deal. this is the man that will secure a deal. michel barnier says there has to be agreement on the uk exit

, and also on the so—called brexit, and also on the so—called brexit bill, the uk'sin the british negotiating position that will lead to the decision about whether enough progress has been made. i know it's very progress has been made. i know it's very vague progress has been made. i know it's very vague but we'll get a better idea when the prime minister goes to the podium and tells us how things are going. thank you. theresa may will be speaking in around half an hour. let's get the latest weather update. it's looking pretty stormy for the weekend. we are finishing the week with an autumnal storm. storm brian is moving in from the west. it's a fairly quiet day today with a window of dry weather. here's the scene in guernsey taken by one of our weather watchers. as we had through the next 24 hours, the winds will pick up with the arrival of storm brian. an autumnal storm bringing gale force winds and heavy rain. at the moment the storm is out in the atlantic but it's approaching our shores. it's been strengthening recently but will start to weaken as it moves in tow

the tide is beginning to turn. thousands of migrants worried by brexit and tempted by improving wages in poland are coming home from the ukto regret. after brexit she started worrying about pensions and passports. she heard the call of home. if a lot of people leave, you will need to think about what will happen to that gap. if you have enough british people to fill it, that is amazing and you will be able to survive without us. if not, then you might need us more than we need you because we can go somewhere else, right? poland's national government says brexit is a factor here but argues this is really a story about a boom economy with higher wages and lower unemployment, offering prosperity to its own people. first of all, it is about the lowest unemployment level in poland now. that is about an economy that is booming. people are getting more money. we have great social support for the young. we started with the children and now we are starting with apartments. it is better and better and better step—by—step. much of the money transforming buildings like this old linen mill into swanky shops and cinemas comes from the
