he has long been a thorn in theresa may's side but the president praised him. thorn in theresa may'side but the president praised himli thorn in theresa may's side but the president praised him. i have a sad to see him leaving government. i am not putting one against the other but i think he would be a great prime minister. the current london mayor was criticised. he has done a terriblejob. i think he has done a very bad job on terrorism. i think he has done a terrible job on crime. you take a look at your hospital in london, you know what i am talking about. what is very important is i stand up for the values we hold dear and one finally we hold dear is diversity being a strength. some mps have urged the prime minister to stand up to the president.” have urged the prime minister to stand up to the president. i think people will be cheering if she tells him where to stick his dog whistle. he has insulted us. his behaviour is appalling and unacceptable. it is none of his business what deal we do with the rest of europe. certainly not everyone is applauding donald trump so far. all eye

bad about theresa may. it begs the question, does president trump know what he is doing? is he doing this deliberately? maybe he wants a good meeting. maybe he gets there, he will think everything is fine and dandy. it is not just the one interview or comment. it is the effect of the president of the united states treating our european allies, specifically theresa may, for months if not years. that effect is now coming to a head. you know and you know and everyone who talks to any of the european officials knows this has now become a crisis in the u.s./europe relationship. that crisis will have implications that will last years if not generations. >> remember when president obama talked brexit before the vote. >> some would argue that trump supporters are here saying this is what we voted for and we wanted a guy to challenge the convention. let's move forward to monday. the president heads to helsinki. he meets with vladimir putin. you write about this in "the washington post." what is the deal that we beli

>> or the destabilization of theresa may. i'm not a fan of may's, and i think there is something to be said about her handling of brexit. privately, rather than publicly would be better. the knife's edge in england, in britain, has to do with labor versus the conservatives. the labor party is being run by a demagogic, near communist. this is not a joke. an american president shouldn't be pushing pro-western figures out of the way in favor of anti-western figures, which is what corbyn is. >> we're seeing the president landing. he is going to be having tea with queen elizabeth ii, along with the first lady. he is wheels down now, i believe, in -- or at least wheels up -- wheels down, obvious obviously. let me go to cal perry, in middle of the protests. what's the latest from there? >> reporter: chris, so this is where the protests start off from. a bit of geography. bill neely and richard age eenge a mile in front of me, which is where we're headed. miguel, pan through and show the signs we're seeing. this crowd right now is ve

they wanted to launch something against theresa may.f you look at parliament as a the labor ande there is not a lot of support for a hard exit. ask theu would have to question, mrs. is really have talked to -- this is really hypothesizing, but will we not say -- still be the same position? >> you have the exact same dynamic. a soft brexit if a brexit at all and a conservative party where the grassroots and a large core of mps one is slightly tougher brexit. do you want to carry the country or the party and those are the politics within it. >> great to see you. whencan theresa may see she speaks later to convince parliament she is still in control? >> like many of us, she is trying to rewrite what was said a few hours ago. her script has changed dramatically. as late as yesterday morning, she was tanking i can come out and say i have got the whole cabinet economy here she is now stuck with a much more difficult thing now losing boris johnson. there are dynamics within the. -- within this. that.y be like she may be able to do labour party

this is the problem for theresa may. borisjohnson is this is the problem for theresa may.is the problem for theresa may. borisjohnson is an archrival of hers who just resigned in an insulting letter and donald trump is not only praising him but has hiked rumours that he may meet or call him which would undercut the prime minister's leadership completely. now she needs to go into a meeting with donald trump at chequers at a place where he has said things that pushes her closer to the cliff of her government falling. that makes her government falling. that makes her look weak domestic league and at the same time the british government is very worried until in even more damage than trump has than himself with this interview. already it is a striking moment in post—cold war history that these two extremely close allies are on the rocks over comments that the us president made that imperil the prime ministership of america's closest ally. you say you will weaken her but could also, conversely, make people feel that we are not terribly happy with the british prime minister being

there are dozens get rid of theresa may. there are d oze ns of get rid of theresa may.e who absolutely furious about the plan on the table, they do not like it. former cabinet minister said to meet did absolutely vote against it, and they want to see changes, but they do not think that getting rid of theresa may at this point well help. everyone is saying it is time to come down. ever interesting dynamic, talking to a lot of the main conservatives, they we re lot of the main conservatives, they were the one who threatened rebellion in recent weeks. they will have a chance to do so next week with the customs bill, but they are saying this is not the moment. we have to back theresa may, because the deal she has put forward as the best we are going to get. that is interesting, because at the moment, this is the key point of levitt, next week. this vote on the customs union. if they let that go and put their trust on what the prime minister has put forward at chequers, there is always a danger down the road that she hardened her stance. that is what they have been accused o

theresa may is talking about. 0ne certainly an interesting meeting between the two leaders. one would love to hear exactly what they are saying to each other in private. this is what they had to say to each other in public. the united states is our long—standing... the prime minister and i work very well together. it has never been more united. it is coming along rapidly. it was a very productive day. last night we had dinner. it was one of our work, one hour and a half. the relationship is very very strong, very good. we have another news co nfe re nce strong, very good. we have another news conference in a little while so we will answer your questions then. thank you all very much. that was a brief opening statement from donald trump when he arrived there. we are expecting a lengthy news co nfe re nce there. we are expecting a lengthy news conference after he and theresa may have that discussion at chequers which we will be bringing to you live here on bbc news. that is the scene at chequers for you now. meanwhi

thank you very much, theresa.ast night melania and i were delighted to join you and phillip for dinner at the magnificent blenham palace. it was a wonderful and memorable evening that we will not soon forget. really something very special. today it's a true privilege to visit historic chequers that i've heard so much about and read so much about growing up in history class and to continue our conversation which has proceeded along rapidly and well over the last few days. for generations, our predecessors have gathered at this stunning retreat to strengthen a bond that is like no other. the relationship between our two nations is indispensable to the cause of liberty, justice and peace. the united kingdom and the united states are bound together by a common historic heritage, language and heroes, the traditions of freedom, sovereignty and the true rule of law were our shared gift to the world. they are now our priceless inheritance to a civilization. we must never cease to be united in their defense and in their re

theresa may is inviting brexiteers to think this. do they wa nt to brexiteers to think this.ey want to go into a bit of a strop about such terminology, the flies of the head of many voters were today wa nt to the head of many voters were today want to get behind her and achieved, it still is brexit in her weight of rendering it. because then you have a way of doing it, but either risks strengthening theresa may and making them look sillier or... the mail which is unhappy, clearly, talk of soft brexit threat to theresa may, they're quoting a poll, people who voted conservative might abandon her if she waters down brexit too much. not a lot of detail about the poll on the front page, i don't know how many people it is from or what kind of people the bull is of, conservative voters? those who vote conservative? all of the papers have split along predictable lines here. you have the financial times and the times which is a theresa may have had a winner, the sandwich as per brexit has had to say that diamonds are one but it was a soft brexit, the telegraph has gone completely the

they hope containable and theresa may will fight if there isa and theresa may will fight if there isey just see, we do not think we are there yet and they do not believe anyone else's following boris johnson out the door tonight but no predictions in the long term. the white paper is yet to appear on the policy. another tactic by brexiteers is to try and get the government to publish the white paper which david davis would have produced. ijust wonder if that governments might lea k wonder if that governments might leak and will be a rallying point foran leak and will be a rallying point for an alternative policy to that of the prime minister. that has been talked about this evening amongst those who are long—standing leave campaigners. it is even more accommodated than we thought. we shall return of that is any developments. 0ur correspondent in portcullis house. i have beenjoined by the labour deputy leader with his thoughts about what is going on. thank you forjoining us. what about the prime minister's statement, she was forthright and said she was correct and had the right formul

in britain, theresa may is in a difficult political position.s surrounded by people who want to go in different directions, she doesn't have the majority she needs to get things through parliament, so is this an artful compromise? or is it a bit ofa this an artful compromise? or is it a bit of a fudge? it depends whether you think theresa may is a brilliant strategist or someone who has got where she is by accident. two years ago when she became prime minister she looked like she would never last long, always would be shaky, but she's been here for two years. if she's been here for two years. if she can get us through to brexit, that could be three years, and if that could be three years, and if that can be presented as successful then she will have a legacy... if she came out with this plan on day one she would have been deposed a long time ago. facts and reality have acted on the rest of the tories, they can bluster and argue as much as they like, but they have no real choice with this. they have to come in line for a softer brexit keeping bus

and lecturing theresa may.s ideas crazy in her favourite paper was pushing it. many loyalists thought so. favourite paper was pushing it. many loyalists thought solj favourite paper was pushing it. many loyalists thought so. i don't want him managing the brexit process. this is back seat driving. you could call it that. i hope my colleagues will get behinder in the way way. that wasn't the boris johnson way, crossing the globe as foreign secretary was, the ceremonyings, the salutes and the media stunts that somehow only he knew how to carry off. 200 million-year-old old light form. and it owed, as when he run rubbished the notion of a brexit compromise. he will end up in an anteroom of the eu. his political stock fell when he was quoted saying if business didn't like brexit, f business and he was somehow in afghanistan, when mps voted on heathrow expansion which he opposed. now, he has given up his post but not his platform, hard line brexiteers will look to him to fight for the brexit they want, and against th

he believes theresa may is a good leader. however, in the current political climate in britain where theresa may has had two cabinet minuisters quit this week, is under huge pressure within her party about the way she is handling brexit. this kind of political pressure that president trump seems to be applying to her here is really potentially going to have a consequential knock or effect for her. it will bring a fight with the mayor of london and he doesn't handle terrorism properly or crime in london properly. none of this welcome news. >> no, it is not. thank you, nic. >>> president trump all over the uk. one place he is avoiding is central london. 50,000 protesters are expected to speak out against him there starting shortly before they do, the trump baby balloon is taking to the skies. for more, we turn to nick paton walsh. nick? >> reporter: extraordinary. they finally reached the bit of inflation of the end of the baby blimp as it is known. you cannot see the mobile phone, his favorite weapon of war, twitter. i will po

if theresa contest might throw the whole thing intojeopardy.into jeopardy. if theresa may one that, she would be strengthened rather than anything else, and in the tory rules, you can only have one go every 12 months. if she saw off the challenge than they wouldn't be able to do it again for some time so be able to do it again for some time so she would be safe. there's strategy in the house of commons, as you might expect when you have something of this complexity and seriousness. alex forsyth in westminster, thank you. our europe editor, katya adler, is in brussels and has been looking at the perspective there, to the fast moving events here at westminster. eu leaders are intentionally not commenting on the politicalfurore in london. they say it's a domestic issue and they insist that eu negotiators remain available 24/7 to resume brexit talks as soon as the uk is ready. but sank the eu is not. brussels wants to have a deal with the uk and is worried as to where all this could lead —— sanguine. they are concerned about what's going to happen

theresa may was clear as well. made here at chequers and i put forward to the european union. just be clear, that is in agreement that delivers on the brexit vote that delivers on the brexit vote that we had in 2016 here in the uk, that we had in 2016 here in the uk, that delivers what i believe is at the forefront of people's minds when they were voting to leave the european union. the pair had met earlierfor european union. the pair had met earlier for formal talks and that interview was in the background. donald trump had suggested in the sun newspaper that the brexit negotiations had fallen short. sun newspaper that the brexit negotiations had fallen shortlj would have done it much differently. i actually told theresa may had to do it but she didn't listen to me. she didn't listen. i told her how to do it. his comments landed with a third. he had said that if the government stuck to its current plan there would be no trade deal with the us. if they do a deal like that, it will most likely, because we will be de

two big brexiteers resign — but prime minister theresa may

with theresa may is his screw on immigration. let's let everyone listen. >> in terms of russia, i guarantee whoever it is in russia, they are saying oh, gee, do we wish that trump was not the victor in that election. we have been far tougher on rush that than anybody. and probably -- look, i won't go down 100 years. but certainly we have been extremely tough on russia. and with all that being said, if i had a relationship with putin, i don't know him, met him twice, maybe two and a half times. >> okay. that is what he said 00 ruon ru that sha. so let's start with that. the president is sitting down with vladimir putin monday. and on russia, he claims no one has been tougher on russia and this administration has had some tough policies, sankts s tough policies, sanktsanctions, weaponizing the ukranians. but he says no one has been 2u6er than him and he also said about chiropractor me a, i was handed this bad hand from the obama administration and there is nothing much i have to say about it. what is your read? >> first of all, it

nuctf attack on theresa may. he did an attack on theresa may. he did call for a change. he did, an attack on theresa may. he did call fora change. he did, but an attack on theresa may. he did call for a change. he did, but you know as well as i do having been there, this is a febrile time of the year always at westminster and in 2018, the mps i have spoken to, they consider it a poisonous time as well. the prime minister is going on a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summerand a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summer and i a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summerand i hope a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summer and i hope she finds time for one of her long walks around the welsh countryside, i think it is, to get away from it. what struck me about it was, neither side of this great debate seems to acce pt side of this great debate seems to accept that the other side got roughly 50% of the country. and i thought the idea was the referendum, when it was over, would pull everybody together. and nobody seems to be pulling ever

that is something theresa may could well have done without at this point in time.m about trade deals, post brexit trade deals, getting a decent dealfor the uk with the us to try to bolster her position. so she won't take kindly to that. we are told the president will arrive here in short order. you can see behind me the two helicopters that will take him and his closest entourage into central london. there are a spray planes that will take the rest of the contents that will take the rest of the co nte nts of that will take the rest of the contents of air force one into the ambassador‘s residence in regents park for what it is to be a highly controversial visit but one that theresa may really needs to make a success theresa may really needs to make a success of given what's happening in the domestic situation here. 0k, gary, thank you. well, the transatlantic relationship has been tested several times since donald trump became president. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins looks now on how that relationship has worked in the past, and how it's changed now. it

let's see what today brings, theresa may and donald trump will appear at theresa may and donald trump's done a carameljob. —— terriblejob. he made the coments in an interview with the sun newspaper. meanwhile, extra security is in place today to police more planned protests and marches against donald trump in the capital. disruption is expected from around 11 this morning when protesters will gather at portland place. they will march through oxford circus, down regents street and finish with a rally in parliament. the mayor of london will be speaking live to vanessa feltz on radio london, that's at 9:45am this mornig. —— morning. london's financial services industry suffered a 29% drop injob openings in the year tojune according to a report. the recruitment firm morgan mckinley claims the number ofjobs available last month dropped by nearly a third year—on—year. it says uncertainty over brexit may have had an effect, citing plans by hsbc to move up to one thousand of its staff to paris. a scheme which banned cars from three croydon primary schools during the school run is to be made p

brexit is horrified as theresa may as brexiteers horrified at theresa may finally revealed her hand.s horrified at theresa may finally revealed her handlj brexiteers horrified at theresa may finally revealed her hand. i don't know about finally revealing her hand, but it does sound of a brexiteers are doing their utmost to try to suggest that whatever theresa may have got in mind, unless it is pretty much what they demand, it will not be good enough. but it is make your mind up time now for theresa may, for the cabinet, for anyone in this country, because we have to have an agreed position of what we are going to try to negotiate for within the future of oui’ negotiate for within the future of our eu relationship. and at the moment, what seems to be holding things up is that there is a group who are saying whatever business needs, whatever the need ofjobs, we got to leave the customs union, we've got to leave the single market, because we want to be able to strike new trade deals elsewhere, and there is talk about being concerned that we will not get a us trade deal. the reason that

theresa may created this mess herself.ve started with a position of strength towards eu. the eu was horrified by brexit. they were weak. they were expecting a very tough approach to them. you think she should have taken the donald trump approach? of course. the trump approach was, you give us what we want or we leave. can you imagine if britain walks away from the eu? the eu would have collapsed. that was the point that he made to theresa may. but she should be strong. she decided to be weak. she decided to please everyone. that is why the mess which she created now. i fundamentally disagree because theresa may's mistake in british political terms was that she laid out a series of red lines which she could not deliver. she has been in retreat from these red lines ever since the florence speech and she goes on retreating and she continues to retreat. that appears to be disastrous. the reality is she is in a very difficult position in a sense that she has an impossible party, she somehow is to reconcile her party. the idea o

this is theresa may's supporters. >> theresa may has had a terrible month or year because the britisht. they put out a blue paper to try and deal with brexit this week that doesn't answer most of the important questions at all. this is more irritant. it's worth pointing out about the balloon, though, that before britain does have a long tradition of irreverent political humor. and something that looks incredibly insulting in america which has made trump very angry because he is thin-skinned, it's also part of that tradition of laughing more at politics and institutions within the uk context. >> and parliament, everyone let's themselves, let's others know what they think. >> it is a much more -- >> duke it out. >> exactly, duke it out. but i'd like to go back to the issue of putin again. that is a big issue hanging over this entire visit. and the fact that trump is remaking or smashing up so much of the post war order. of course, britain is a place where there's a lot of speculation that putin and russia were involved medaling in the brexit referendum, the social media contains there.

what theresa may is —— theresa may says has been agreed as a tighter rather than a looser relationshipe rest of the eu after we leave. yes, immigration as we know it will come to an end, but she wants to sign the uk up to following many eu rules. so was today the day that she faced down her reluctant brexiteers? right now we just don't know. if they rolled over or are guarding their angerfor another day. rolled over or are guarding their anger for another day. in recent times the animals here have been better behaved than the political creatures in the tory party. the prime minister has been struggling between eurosceptics and former remainers, almost impossible to tame. after the cabinet she'll have to sell her plan to those grumpy mps and then on the opposite side of the table with the rest of the eu. they are unlikely to accept everything wholesale, but listen, perhaps a tiny chink of light. uk has started to engage with us on all these topics. this is welcome and i look forward to further clarity from the uk. a long day's talks in the country have produced something is something th

i certainly feel theresa may has gonein i certainly feel theresa may has gone in the wrong direction.ecause it is a strange thing that we are painting trump as this evil baby, as a fascist, a 19305 style monster, when if you look at his politics, which i do not support and find condemnable, he is not an adoration. he is in a long line of us presidents who have been extremely anti—immigration, have caused mass, tragedy and destruction in the middle east. looking at him in relation to obama, obama got the red carpet, no protests, absolute plaudits and by the time he came on a state visit he had already bombed libya and afghanistan, deported hundreds of thousands of migrants. today smacks a little bit of historical inaccuracy, that is why i will not protest. stella? trump is not unique, he isjust will not protest. stella? trump is not unique, he is just the will not protest. stella? trump is not unique, he isjust the most successful in the people we have in the world now peddling this grievance led politics. i think he isa grievance led politics. i think he is a lost cause, i do not thin

i told theresa may how to do it but she didn't listen to me. >> reporter: theresa may's plan led to the, boris johnson earlier this week, a hard brexit guy. the president through something boris johnson's way is theresa may fight for her political life in the uk, the president suggested boris johnson would make a great prime minister. >> a very talented guy was leaving government. and a great representative for the country. i think it would be a great prime minister, he has what it takes and a great attitude to be a great prime minister. >> reporter: one other thing the president is doing his protests, a lot of people coming out saying they do not like the fact, didn't want the president in the uk so the president rather than spending time in london even though he is there overnight on the british countryside at checkers to windsor castle. >> thank you so much. this is a fiery exchange between donald trump and theresa may. what does it mean for america's trade relationship with the united kingdom. here to weigh in staff director for the senate foreign relations committee, lester munson.

the chequers compromise will be discussed with theresa may's new cabinet this morning.o sell it within the uk and in brussels. what is your take on what was hammered out on friday. brussels. what is your take on what was hammered out on fridaym brussels. what is your take on what was hammered out on friday. it is not an ambitious proposal to look at what theresa may has said you can find the detail of this in there. it isa find the detail of this in there. it is a free—trade agreement with couple of issues. the big thing i think theresa may has mist out on here is what will happen on the service trade. we are talking about clear rules all principles on the goods site but not much for services. they are quite an important part of our trade component and we do not know what will happen. that remains a grey area but interestingly, looking at financial markets in the business community and investors, the pound, despite the fact that boris johnson and david davis resigned, they are seemingly happy with the direction that the prime minister is taking brexit. there is now a cl

theresa may has taken a lot of the heat now.president trump. and so the anger is growing but the police have said that trafalgar square itself might be full. people may not be able to come in. they did not expect this many protestors there. so it really is a growing event and still continues to grow. and i just look around me and i see some of the signs. many of them very personal in nature attacking president trump saying -- many people saying and it really does seem to be a divisive event we're at right now. we heard someone talk about latin americans, standing up for venezuela. it is a wide topic. many different things being discussed here and i think everyone is here for a different reason. >> bill: benjamin hall. reporting from central london. one of the stories in england is the nerve agent in salisbury and this may come up on monday as well. theresa may bringing that up earlier today and welcoming a comment like that directed toward putin on monday. you know how sensitive that topic is right now for the people in the u.k.

by theresa may and the cabinet is u na cce pta ble to by theresa may and the cabinet is unacceptablease, hard brexiteers, those who really wa nt phrase, hard brexiteers, those who really want to leave the eu and abandon many of the rules or restrictions of the eu. that's right. there are lots of issues on the table but things like free movement within the european union, things like trade policy, the role of the european court ofjustice within britain's laws. all those sort of big issues were thrashed out at chequers, the sort of country residence of the uk prime minister on friday. there is a sort of common rule book for goods going across the border, facilitated movements for eu citizens across britain's orders, also things like a joint institutional framework for the courts. i think a lot of people looked at that language and said well, this does not really extricate written from the eu laws in the way that people wanted. david davis actually has released a statement now, we did not have this half an hour ago, but some of the language is used as interesting too. he said that he th

she called on theresa may to say sorry.rked with forced himself on her. her family were horrified and decisions were taken and she moved away and saw a social worker. it was assumed that the baby would be adopted. she said many women gave birth in the hs. these women were made to feel ashamed of their bodies, of the pregnancies, and it's that culture of shame that was perpetrated by officialdom in one guise or another. it's a complex history, madam deputy speaker, but i would like to know how it happened. she called on theresa may by saying sorry. simply by apologising, the promised would send a message to anyone unexpectedly pregnant today that they should expect help and support and never approbation. and mostly, she would send a message to every woman in this country that our past, where women were blamed and robbed of their power, is finally the past. alison mcgovern. the former foreign secretary, lord carrington, died this week. he was 99. lord carrington was the last surviving member of churchill's 1950s government. h

theresa may needs time.esterday for that she was going into the house of commons. she stood at the dispatch box and answered questions for two hours. she then came across to the building next to the house of commons to a packed meeting of the 1922 committee, which is backbench members of parliament trust members of the house of lords he wanted to come as well. the place was packed. she gave a speech that lasted five minutes and answered questions that lasted about an hour. absolutely superb again. she entered to the banging of tables and left to the banging of tables and left to the banging of tables and left to the banging of tables. any spec kit shown —— any speculation there was ever going to be... you know the saying that the louder the banging of the table the more trouble there will be. you had people saying similar things. you had sir edward leigh and sir patrick maclachlan together saying, listen, leigh and sir patrick maclachlan togethersaying, listen, guys, we have been here before. 1922 and 1977.

today now trump has to sit down and have lunch and talk again with theresa may. knows how this is going to go? >> it's, you know, there's only two theories of what trump is doing here. erth -- he's intentionally making the u.s./uk relationship more -- putting more animosity to it, making it more tense, making it more complicated, more difficult. or he's doing it unintentionally. which one is worse? we can't really be sure what the president's motivations are, but either way, whether he's intentionally insulting her before they meet and making her position weaker and putting business between us and our oldest, strongest ally, or he's doing it accidentally. i think it's bad either way. >> only thing we can be sure of, they were red and pink star bursts, correct? we'll ta thank you, sir. >> thanks, josh. >>> it's a very contentious day as peter strok testifies before congress. >> what was originally said being changed. >> i don't give a damn what you appreciate, agent strok. >> and that's one of the more tame parts of the day. oh, look... another anti-wrinkle cream

the trumps dined with theresa may. it is unlikely they even saw the protests as they flew in a helicopter. they will meet the queen before spending the weekend in trump's golf resort in scotland. the u.s. and china have signaled they were open to resuming negotiations over trade. high-level discussions have stalled since last month. beijing mustn said commit to deeper economic reforms, and argued america is not a trade war. >> you not think we are in a trade war. we are in a situation, trade disputes. these are not trade wars. we are very focused on the nafta issue, which is renegotiating an old agreement. we are focused on the china issue which is complicated. total trade with the u.s. increased with the first half of the year, even as the trade situation deteriorated. a group 13.1% during the first six months of the year. exports were up compared to 2017. imports rose 11.8%. all the data is in dollar terms. commerce secretary wilbur ross says he will unload equity holdings. he said his failure to sell off assets crea

the president, at theresa may's weakest moment.l fall, and then trump saying that she's mishandling brexit. for her, the most politically sensitive issue. he would say she's been soft on it. she would say -- her supporters would say that she's been more business-friendly, but the irony of this is that the brits tried to tee this up as a great victory lap for trump. as a little break between the craziness of the nato summit and the high stakes of the putin summit. we've seen these very, like, easy visits for him outside london, but he just wouldn't take it. >> mike, help us with psychoanalysis. difficult with this president in particular, but why do this? why take 30, 40 minutes to sit down with "the sun," a rupert murdoch tabloid and say what he said about theresa may knowing about the fallout from it? >> great point, and the largest circulating paper in britain and this is the president just not thinking about other leaders, not putting himself in the shoes of other leaders. just saying what's on his mind, and not worrying about t

jeremy corbyn pressed theresa may for more details.e no brexit dividend before 2022, economic growth is the slowest since 2009, so which taxes are going up? the prime minister quoted an unnamed labourmp. he said, "we will use the funds returned from brussels after brexit to invest in our public services." it was him, the right honourable gentleman, the leader of the opposition! her figures are so dodgy they belong on the side of a bus. until this government can be straight with people where the money is coming from, why should anyone, anyone, anywhere, trust them on the nhs? for the 70 years of the nhs, for 43 of these years, it has been under the stewardship of a conservative government. we have, despite taking difficult and necessary decisions on public spending in 2010, as a result of the deficit left by the last labour government, we have consistently put extra money into the national health service. theresa may. staying with prime minister's questions, there was a moment of high drama in mid—june. the scottish and westminster gove

they may not be a majority in parliament for what theresa may wa nts. in parliament for what theresats. if there is not back then we are in unknown territory, general elections, vote of confidence. no one can be confident about what is going to happen. interesting months and days ahead. on monday the new british brexit secretary, because the old one resigned over the white paper, goes to brussels to present it to european negotiators. presumably the bubbles will have been emboldened by donald trump's newspaper interview. what on earth possessed him7 newspaper interview. what on earth possessed him? i think if we try to be coherent —— make coherent the outburst of donald trump it would driver was all mad. we saw him... what possesses him when he gets to up what possesses him when he gets to up every morning, it is difficult to say. as adam said, he is not entirely wrong about brexit and he is not entirely wrong about other issues. there was a meeting with the european research group, the hardline brexiteer group european research group, the ha rdline brexiteer group led european resea

you can also see theresa may moving towards also see theresa may moving towards a softer brexit whichiggest and geographically closest trading partner but by keeping it very close after brexit it will inevitably limit the kind of trade deals the uk can do with others like the usa, as donald trump pointed out that —— the eu is the uk's biggest and geographically closest trading partner. we heard from michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator, we need time to analyse it, on twitter. yes, 98 pages long, but in private eu officials are very open about their criticisms of the white paper, but ultimately we see it as a good springboard to restart face—to—face negotiations which we will see starting again on monday. there is another reason why eu leaders were rather reticent to comment in detail on the white paper today, and that is because they see very clearly that the braille political atmosphere back in the uk, and they think whatever quick comment criticisms they would have about the white paper would just add fuel to the fire. katya, thanks again for the fire. katya, thanks again for the

if i was theresa may are one of her advisers, i would welcome it. i would say, bring it on.hen you would see the extent to which you are not supported by the rest of the conservative party. the deal effectively took two years. two yea rs effectively took two years. two years since the referendum. it has taken since friday for them to bash out something that they think they can get to stake. has it really been that long? timers on. it is very strange. yes, you're right. they have finally got perin theory. i feel it is quite nice that they done something so, in theory, unified, certainly in public, this near to the cliff we are about to jump off. i see that as i remain supporter because if they had done it earlier they would have been more time for dissent, more grumblings, more machinations and leadership challenges and talks, and perhaps we do need, as everyjournalist in the i’ooiti do need, as everyjournalist in the room would agree, nothing focuses the mind like a deadline. the daily telegraph has more of that dissent. i will vote down the brexit plan. jacob rees—mogg is n

that is an issue for theresa may.n the one hand, she have to make sure that they get a trade deal where trump is overturning the international theme, but the domestic audience, she can convince them that this is brexit and britain needs brexit. but trump is saying that brexit does not need theresa may. we know that trump has had a very contentious week with european leaders at the nato summit in brussels, where he has certainly said you guys need to start paying up for defense, otherwise we are going to have to quit and just not be involved in nato anymore. a very contentious situation in europe this morning. shery: maria, thank you so much for that. let's now had to idaho. bloomberg news deals reporter and hammond joining us now with a special guest. ed? burns,m here with bill the former u.s. ambassador to russia. we have just been hearing about trump arriving in helsinki. he goes there on the bank -- back of dismantling or attempting to dismantle a lot of the institutions that are involved with american allies. in a
