theresa may has visited cape town at the start of a three day trade mission to africa.cial tour of the continent as prime minister. in a speech she called for the uk to become the leading investor in africa by 2022. she said the extra investment would support african economies, but she also wanted it to work in the interests of the uk. 0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. upbeat, certainly. 0n the beat, perhaps not. but theresa may arrived in south africa eager to talk trade, development and economic growth. the prime minister began her trip to cape town at a school symbolising, she said, the youth and dynamism of many african nations. and it is jobs for these young people and millions like them the uk wants to help african economies create. so this was a trade mission underpinned by a promise. the prime minister pledged an extra £4 billion in direct uk government investment which she expects to be matched by the private sector. i want to see strong african economies that british businesses can do business with in a free and fair fashion. whether through crea

and this is actually a cry for help from theresa may. president rami clea ry before may. and indeed, president rami cleary before the meeting began that he would not start into negotiations. no, but i think that is disingenuous slightly as well and at the french have a big role to play. and if reports are to be believed, which i think they are, that the french are one of the main driving forces between eu and its firm line. they refuse to budge from its established for key principles and to show any flex ability whatsoever. so of course, i think the british press here actually do see this as a cry for help from theresa may because she is trying to make her plan work in some shape or form and get some result from it. she has gone there to emmanuel macron to hopefully seep that there is maybe not immediate attention coming from this in the short—term, but in the medium term and before we get to the final deal if there is to be one agreed, then what is hoping is that he will then use his influence, she can persuade him that it is notjust in

i think the problem for theresa may and the staff in numberten is that for theresa may and the staff one of her on a construction site grabbed a factory or at some british owned business in south africa, even standing outside somebody selling jaguars would have been better than this. picking up that thought that there is no substance but this is a trade visit, isn't it? yes but it's also about international aid and i think her announcement yesterday about britain's aid to africa landed fairly well from number ten's perspective. we have seen some charities have some quite warm words for it though on that level they will be quite happy with the announcement. that said, i think theresa may will always resist putting on a hard hat because that is what george osborne was known for and she is keen to distance herself from her predecessors so maybe it had to be done this way. disinterest m, had to be done this way. disinterest in, let's talk about image because presumably her advisers would have known that this visit was on the agenda and that this might happen. could they have thought abou

is theresa may being too optimistic?> if you look at the policy of her government, it is to stay close to the european union, and that is what the deal set out has upset so many people in her party. that is presumably she believes the analysis she set out earlier in the year when she said staying close to the european union was essential to britain's economic prosperity. she cannot say that all the time because she has to keep her party onside. , it is ant today relative use of upbeat when you say, not the end of the world. there are more upbeat things you can say. as a back fromt the holidays, has to say something to keep the brexiteers . they love that. it has gone well with that wing of the party. nejra: we heard france is preparing for a no deal brexit. are those contingencies happening in the u.k.? >> yes. this is the other thing. hammond'shilip comments, and i deal brexit would hit the gdp. the brexit secretary was more upbeat. he was in his speech more upbeat chancellor. he referred to comments of the documents he

theresa may, borisjohnson and even jacob rees—mogg, seen that theresa may, borisjohnson and evenjacobhe case that may goes, wouldn't do better than the prime minister, that's fascinating, and they point out that someone quite young and not in government would be more appealing. in terms of the general voting population, which is the dilemma, because ultimately leaders are chosen by the parties themselves, and have to appeal beyond the parties to have any chance of winning a majority, and a lot of people thought borisjohnson still reached path that other tory leaders couldn't. yes, and take the ball with a pinch of salt, because a month ago different poll, which said borisjohnson was the month ago different poll, which said boris johnson was the only person who would get more votes than theresa may. i am not saying that this is right and that is wrong, but you know... and the advice is to read the trend. exactly. it was close, in terms of the numbers. it is hard to predict. 0ne close, in terms of the numbers. it is hard to predict. one thing we know with the polls is that whenever you

theresa may is the first british prime minister to visit nigeria since 2011.and long—standing close commercial ties. there are british companies that have been here for many years, we want to enhance those trading links and there are opportunities to do so as we leave the european union. looking for a new trading direction as brexit beckons, but today resisting the temptation tojoin in the dancing. it is a very traditional welcome for theresa may, but make no mistake, this is a dynamic fast—growing theresa may met president muhammadu buhari, promising him more british military help against the fight against the islamist group boko haram. the first security and defence agreement has been signed by the countries but it is business deals mrs may wants also. nigeria is the largest african economy, its gdp was £292 billion in 2017, higher than the other two countries she is visiting, south africa and kenya. nigeria also has the largest population in africa, almost 194 million, and many of them are young. so there is huge economic growth potential but currently trad

theresa may is not the first leader to think that they could be opportunities.s very strong. the problem is that in terms of their actual size, these economies are pretty small. the whole of sub saharan africa's economy is about half the size in growth value as france, and that just half the size in growth value as france, and thatjust shows the contrast, so at the time that britain is leaving the european union, yes, some more trade with africa could be helpful, but it is not going to cover any gaps that might grow between british trade and european union trade. from africa's perspective, what can we offer, as britain, to the likes of kenya and nigeria, the countries you mention? we have all those historic ties, as tim touched on, from other relationships when the british empire was strong on the continent, and there are ties of language, in particular legal systems, democratic systems, so there are those things, but as you say, if you look at the amount of investment britain has had across africa, there hasn't been a huge amount of change over a decade. in tha

how much benefit does the trade deal that theresa may has outlined today have not just for the uk theresafor the uk but theresa may has outlined today have not just for the uk but for the african countries she plans to invest in? i think the opportunity for the uk is grand for as long as the agenda and the partnership agreements and the structures of the deals are actually in favour of all parties and all the stakeholders. there is absolutely no reason why any investor investing on the continent today will not make a return because we've already seen this in the last five years. but it has to be really based on equal opportunities for all. you have been involved with many of the companies that come to kenya, give us an example if you would of an investment that has gone wrong and why? an investment that did go wrong was raised on the premise that a fund manager and actual assets that we re fund manager and actual assets that were structured were operated by people who made sure that whatever they did did not provide any return for the actualfounder or they did did not provide any return f

theresa may promised £4 billion of support for economies in africa in her first visit to the country.t. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. i think he was very rude. although he wasn't speaking directly to me, he wasn't speaking directly to me, he is very rude. no sympathy for anyone, just save his own thing, that's all. how has all of this made you feel now? good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. jose mourinho has demanded respect as pressure mounts on his position following manchester united's humbling 3—nil home defeat by spurs. mourinho made a point of applauding united's remaining fans inside old trafford for longer than you'd expect after a big defeat. plenty of immediate speculation as to what he was doing but he says he was just showing his appreciation, something he felt was lacking in his news conference after the game. no, just to finish, do you know what was the result? 3-0. reporter: you lost 3—0. do you know what this means? 3-0! but also mean three premierships, and i won more premierships alone than the other 19 manage

that was a question theresa may did not answer this evening. thank you. easton, is here. by by all accounts, mrjohnson has dismissed the criticism, saying it is ridiculous. given the words he used and the language he used, is that fair? i think there are two separate issues, one whether it is legitimate to have a debate about whether women should be free to wear the burqa in public and i remember jack straw raising this issue over a decade ago after he revealed he refused to seems muslim constituents who wore a burqa to his constituency surgery who wore a burqa to his constituency surgery also i personally attended public debates in which muslim women have argued this issue from both sides of the argument and that debate continues. it seems that the remarks of mrjohnson has remained another and separate issue, whether it is legitimate for anyone but in particular a senior and influential political figure to use language that demeans and arguably ridicules women who wear the burqa. it is not about the burqa but people who wear them and specifically about d

british prime minister theresa may is running out of time to avoid the brexit cliff edge.sals for a post—brexit trade deal with brussels got short shrift from the eu's chief negotiator. she seems to be hoping to get more joy from some of europe's national leaders. but with every passing day, the prospect for a no—deal, potentially chaotic brexit grows more real. my guest is the dutch mep sophie in ‘t veld, deputy to the european pa rliament‘s chief negotiator. is brexit brinkmanship a game no—one can win? sophie in ‘t veld in brussels, welcome to hardtalk. hello. you follow the brexit negotiations very, very closely. are you comfortable with the fact that when theresa may and her government came out with their big proposal, the so—called white paper, their vision for what a post—brexit trade deal with the eu could look like, it was, effectively, dismissed by the eu's, the eu commission's chief negotiator, michel barnier, with barely a second glance? dismissed, i think mr barnier made it very clear that we are happy that there are proposals on the table. that is a start and

the conservative party sent an open letter to theresa may at the beginning ofjune, letter to theresauslim bigotry, islamophobia in the conservative party, an independent inquiry, not a public inquiry. and the reason is that when i go around the reason is that when i go around the country talking to groups of muslims, i consistently get a message from them that they think the conservative party is anti—muslim. i think it is inaccurate, but it really is important to have an inquiry to clear the air. what if boris johnson doesn't apologise? if boris johnson doesn't apologise? if boris johnson doesn't apologise, he will be bringing the conservative party into disrepute, he is already damaging the conservative party, notjust with muslim brothers but with many liberal minded voters in this country who want us to be a tolerant, inclusive country, and if he refuses to obey his party leader and apologise, then he should have the whip withdrawn. what about people who would say that boris is boris. boris is boris is not good enough any more. this kind of behaviour is not acceptable. andrew has

and the times suggests president macron is preparing to throw theresa may a lifeline by pushing otherrelationship with britain after brexit. the daily telegraph claims children will be banned from buy—ing energy drinks under plans announced by theresa may to tackle disruptive behaviour in classrooms — and pictures the duke and duchess of sussex at a gala performance of hamilton at the victoria palace a variety of front pages. and news that the brexit secretary has conceded that brexit deal talks are unlikely to hit the october deadline, what are the ramifications of this? many because clearly there is no agreement between the two sides on many of the key issues. and yet, they say that it might last untiljanuary yet, they say that it might last until january before we yet, they say that it might last untiljanuary before we get some kind of deal. now think about that. there will be virtually no time for the house of commons to consider a deal in any detail, we are out at the end of march. and it raises this nightmarish prospect of a deal hastily put together at the last minute. vague, v
