you've got a polarized country in the uk. in a lot of ways it's similar to how polarized politics are here in the united states. there has also been a lot of criticism about the way the brexit referendum campaign was run. as richard alluded to, there was promises that a lot of funding was going to come back from the european union and it was revealed the day after the referendum campaign that that was in fact actually not the case. you are seeing some increasing opposition to brexit now in part because people are seeing how complicated divorce is, and people getting a better sense of what the political costs of brexit will be. with that said, there also is still nearly half of the country that supports brexit and is quite frustrated by the fact that it's three years since the referendum and hasn't happened. >> from alabama, republican line, bill you're up with our guest. go ahead. >> i would like to ask mrs. sloat since she was part of the obama administration, were the obama failures which were so vast in iraq, and syria, uk

the uk to south korea, it mightjust be symbolic but when it comes to the car industry in the uk and critical they get some sort of boost, wouldn't you say? one of the interesting things is how this deal deals with rules of origin, when you have a product sold into korea from the uk, how are they going to treat you inputs into that uk manufacturer product? will that count for the purposes of the tariffs? with regard to the tariff rate quotas, some more specific types of goods are very sensitive and come in at a lower tariff rates. the devil will be in the detail and we don't know what that is at this point but when it comes to south korea itself, i notice it's got its trade deal in principle with the uk, avoiding tariffs on its goods going into the us and vice versa. you could look at it and think, south korea are either being savvy in getting these good deals in place or they are just rolling over and letting the us and uk and anyone else have their way, what is the situation because you know anyone who's ever negotiated with south koreans will know they don't rollover. they look at

with the uk doesn't have. which i'm thinking particularly of the -- the human trafficking that goes on down the motherboard or. that is all very well to try to stop specific activity and criminals don't do this for fun, they do it for profit. so one of the most confusing things you can do is to remove the proceeds, to launder the proceeds of crime. the need for beneficial ownership register is a great. my great concern is that for the moment this is absolutely the issues is killing many aspect of u.s. is -- if we take for example the last couple of years we have seen it delivered the sanctions coming from the hill and administration, the inability to track who controls -- makes a mockery of the u.s. sanctions regime. how can you expect the treasury to sort of enforce things when it can't or doesn't know who owns what within its own territory. it's a no-brainer. as for is proving an making it more -- the most egregious example is sanctions of to my mind took place on you as well. the sanctions iranian entities

this is one person's view, it's the uk and ireland head of google's operations, saying that rand uk hasstre, —— rand, saying if they had sold —— brand. he is saying that because of the uncertainty of exit. we know thatis the uncertainty of exit. we know that is the case. you say that, why do we know that is the case? because it- do we know that is the case? because it — mainly because of the headlines we get from different companies, not necessarily moving operations away from the uk but discussing the fact that there is operations moving away from the uk. there is a situation where markets are under pressure, sterling is under pressure, the uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. it just uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. itjust doesn't show that there is any real tangible downside within the uk, we know that, we know that economically, the country is in a downturn at the moment and is quite resilient. but we know that uncertainty causes issues. the housing market is struggling, areas of the economy are stalling. within here, this is kind of what's been said, look, bri

the uk government. nate has been published widely and he and his organization have been a constant fois for curbing authoritarian capital. on a personal note i'd like to mention nate was one of the first conversations i had when i started this job in the city and i will be forever grateful for his early insights. ed, please, the floor is yours. >> hit talk there. >> that you, paul. i just want to start by saying good morning, everyone. i'd like to express our sincere thanks to the helsinki commission for hosting this important event today. part of my segment of talking will very much touch on collaboration and dialogue as crucial tools to finance and anti-corruption issues. it's events like these that are useful in driving this issue forward so thank you very much for hosting us. so i'm going to talk briefly and pick up on of the comments made by the minister on beneficial ownership in the uk and what we've done so far and i'd like to talk a little bit more around the united kingdom's joint money launde

the uk can't signa that is how it works.t sign a trade agreement with anybody that stays within the single market. it's going to be difficult for the uk to sign free trade agreements that include services. he is absolutely right, so we have to wait to see what happens with brexit before the us can proceed with comprehensive negotiations on these issues. if i quote comprehensive negotiations on these issues. ifi quote president from now, this is what he put out on twitter before he left the us. he said "a big trade deal as possible once the uk gets rid of the shackles. " by that, he means a clea n b rea k shackles. " by that, he means a clean break from the shackles. " by that, he means a clean breakfrom the eu? shackles. " by that, he means a clean break from the eu? yes. a clea n clean break from the eu? yes. a clean break, absolutely, but it doesn't mean the uk can't also have a conventional re trade agreement with europe, that the beauty of free trade agreements, you can have them with multiple partners —— free trade agre

exactly can to position the uk post brexit? exa ctly a nd can to position the uk post brexit?his accord is significant because it is the first agreement with asia one of these continuity agreements to ensure the trade policies already in place by way of all of the amalgam of treaties that the uk has access to, some a0 treaties through its membership in the year appear union, can continue. that's that in the european union. this is the first one in asia. let's talk about the other big trade story, that has shifted over the weekend, the relationship between mexico and the us. the trump administration saying we're going to slap tariffs on goods coming into the us from mexico today if changes were not made but it would seem that has been delayed or some sort of agreement reached. would seem that has been delayed or some sort of agreement reachedm is an interesting situation because over a period of about nine days, the trump administration was saying they were going to slap tariffs on a key ally, one which is closely intertwined economically. it would bea intertwined economically.

the uk problem is they have huawei everywhere.s been in the uk since 2005 when it first signed a deal with british telecom ‘s. signed a deal with british telecom 's. already, huawei is providing the sg 's. already, huawei is providing the 5g technology in the uk in cities like birmingham, it started last week through the provider of telecom services in the uk. what will that mean going forward when it comes to intelligence sharing between the us and the united kingdom? very important relationship, and those who are gearing up to become the next leader of the conservative party are talking about this and may be changing their tone? it becomes tricky because it a cyber security question or geopolitics question? in the uk they say manage the risk of huawei being the network and keep it out of the centre, the core and confine it to the edge. the us and australia, another partner, both say that does not work in a 5g world, that does not work in a 5g world, that collapses. you cannot have huawei anywhere in the system, it is a risk. wha

uk, it forces down prices.of the theory goes in the united states that they would wa nt in the united states that they would want prices to be elevated, so they could compete. of course they want prices to be elevated, they want to make a profit, they have an allegation to their shareholders, but i believe the us spends about 18% of its gdp on health care, in britain, with roughly the same health care to population, they spend only about a percent of gdp on health care, so the nhs is very effective in negotiating down these drug prices. so it's somewhat puzzling why you would want to go into a negotiation to have a consumer price, you know, go up. i'm not very good at economics, but when i was at school, if you increase supply, i was at school, if you increase supply, and demand stays the same, don't prices come down?|j supply, and demand stays the same, don't prices come down? i think, that's not the way the nhs is setting prices. they are setting prices according to pretty complex criteria. and what happens i

uk...the uk. of course it's notjust up to us. it's up to the other side as well. there is mutuality in this. we will be working with our friends and partners to make sure we have an outcome that is manifestly in the interests of people, businesses, communities, on both sides of the channel. and you think you could get that through parliament? you think you could get a no deal through parliament? well, i do. you've got to be very clear. i think parliament now understands that the british people want us to come out and to honour the mandate that they gave us. honour the mandate that they gave us. and i think that mps on both sides of the house also understand that they will face mortal retribution from the electorate. u nless we retribution from the electorate. unless we get on and do it. and again, what has changed since 29 march is that my beloved party is down 17 points on the polls. labour isn't doing much better. as i say, with superhuman competence, jeremy corbyn managed to go backwards

economy than any blip from a boost to us uk trade.sident trump meeting business leaders today. some pretty important ones. what is going to be discussed, given the fact we still had so much uncertainty? i think business leaders will emphasise the uncertainty, i would leaders will emphasise the uncertainty, iwould hope leaders will emphasise the uncertainty, i would hope they will make their views clear as they have that they do not support a hard brexit which is in total opposition to what president trump has advocated. they want the prime minister to respect the wish of business, not just for minister to respect the wish of business, notjust for the sake of business, notjust for the sake of business but for the citizens of the uk. what do you think donald trump is going to say to them to make them perhaps feel better about any potential trade deal with the us? he's been quite specific in saying the uk should be prepared to walk away from the eu. yes, i think it's easy for him to say. the us is the worlds largest economy, so it's easy

yes, people may purchase a few more cars produced in the uk for use in the uk and we may eat a bit more change. but life changes. what about our exporters? people will adapt, i accept that. you said yourself that your own business is not faced with exposure. you've been open about that. what about people with business that depends on the trade and they suddenly find that their goods have been priced out of competitiveness? they either absorb the costs because the swedish person buying automotive parts says "sorry mate, i'm not a charity. i'm a hard businessman." you absorb the cost and if you can't absorb the cost you go under. i don't know any farmers who could absorb 45%—70%. people seem to forget that three years ago, our exporters got a 10—12% cut because of the movement in the exchange rate. so that increased their profits. they've had that for three years. what have they done with that? they have been better off for the last three years. they may have decided to invest that in the business or whatever. and you think that is a good thing, presumably? they have had a serious leg up.

the uk having a trade deal with the u.s. is part of the case they made for brexit saying we're going to make bilateral trade deals with the world, this will be great, the president says he very much supports that is correct even said it will be two to three times what we're doing now. trouble is the u.s. and uk have serious disagreements on how that trade deal might look, particularly with access to agriculture, et cetera. >> as you were pointing out it takes years. it takes years for something like that to happen. >> ratification. >> it's a big promise from the u.s. president who also has turned on trade deals with allies as we're seeing right now. >> he has. >> let's go to christiane amanpour, abby phillip, daniel dale. what's your initial reaction? >> you've covered the issues like the protests, like iran, like trade. so let's get to the heart of it. to me it seems like the big news he made was about the tariffs on mexico. that will be a big domestic story and that was pretty significant. he said they will happen and not

/uk trading relationship, his own ambassador here in the uk woody johnson recently saying that essentially he would like to think that everything will be on the table in those trade negotiations, including potentially access for u.s. companies to the national health service, something that will prove very controversial politically here in the united kingdom. we heard from the secretary of state mike pompeo in an interview with our colleagues euro news and he was talking about the uk and it being a priority for the u.s. when it comes to striking a new trade deal he wasn't clear whether it would come ahead of any new trade agreement with the european union. of course brexit and the deadline around brexit will be very key to the timing here, october 31 is the current departure set for the uk, but no confirmation of course that that will happen as of right now. other topics in the conversations going on behind me later on today will no doubt touch on huawei and the u.s. will once again no doubt try to encourage the uk to stay away from the chinese telecom giant when it comes to building their

it's an annual event to mark the contribution of servicemen and women in the uk.forces were currently involved in 20 operations around the world. at any moment, we have about 4,000 of our royal navy either at sea or working overseas. 7,000 of our raf are also working overseas, and 10,000 of our army are deployed on operations or exercises. this is a major commitment. it is us looking beyond our shores, helping other countries, and making our mark across the world. in recent weeks, we've been reflecting on the particular sacrifice made by those who served in the second world war — the d—day landings, in particular. it was a great privilege to attend the commemorations in normandy earlier this month, and to meet with some of the men who took part in the operation 75 years ago. what is absolutely clear from talking with them is that none of them regard themselves as heroes. they're just doing what they were trained to do, and they got on with the job in the way that the wartime generation so often did. the snp raised concerns about the standard of ministry of defence

differences between the uk and britain.similarities and common ground between this president and those pushing for brexit. how do those politics complicate this visit? >> well, first of all, they havethohave shown themselves because the president before he arrived gave two interviews to british newspapers. they both happened to be the murdoch newspapers. his tabloid's son and then the broad sheet of london. in both, he made statements that would be considered pretty undiplomatic and unusual for a foreign leader to make about internal domestic politics. i would, of course, say that president obama intervened in the brexit debate before the referendum and that didn't turn out so well for him or for those he was campaigning on behalf of or speaking on behalf of. but president trump has made it incredibly clear that he believes in the maximum disruption state of affairs which the maximum disruption is a no-deal brexit and a brexit. further maximum disruption is, as he's already talked about in the past, not necessarily on this

he's not uk first.es, driving quite a hard bargain, it is a lot of people in this country who are nervous about american involvement in the nhs, what it might mean for british farmers, in this country. so an awful lot of questions still when it comes to trade that certainly weren't answered today. but on that issue of trade, some viewers may be thinking, hold on, ithought issue of trade, some viewers may be thinking, hold on, i thought the uk couldn't have any discussions around trade with the us until brexit actually happened. yet, and when youth about the timing of this visit, the timing is awful. let's face it, because there's a political backing. i probably do it that it's been six month and the planning of the government thought well, we will be the other side of at march the 29th cut off date when we will leave the eu, and we will be looking to the eu, and we will be looking to the future, industry deal, and so june feels like a pretty good time to have a state visit. well it's not work to like th

the uk to resist that sort of deal-making? it puts the uk in a very difficult position. as a matter of technology, can we work out a way of engaging huawei in ways that are saved that keep our national security fully protected, and it has been left to gchq and the experts to make that determination. but there isa make that determination. but there is a range of opinions and that is one of the issues that will be inserted into this question of who is the next reader because the candidates are taking harder lines, some are taking harder lines and others. i think trump is trying to move that debate. it is a difficult position for the uk to be in, of course, giving up that access to huawei technology is a significant thing to do. the uk has wanted to have a much more pragmatic approach to china than america wants to take right now. it is potentially a very significant dividing line and one that this president is willing to push quite hard on. thank you very much indeed. we will have a smart reaction from here a little later. for back to downing street. thank you very much. l

they say the relationship between the us and the uk isn'tjust relationship between the us and the uks, it is based on a long shared service and sacrifice, underscored by d—day, talking of an enduring alliance. well, we understand that donald trump is tweeting right now about sadiq khan, and they have had a pretty tempestuous twitter relationship, i think it's fair to say! you can see it on the screen right now. and i think there is another tweet coming, which we'll show you now. that's really quite something coming from the president, as he arrives in the uk. so, personal insults directed at the mayor of london, as i say, the two have had several skirmishes on twitter, certainly about crime in london, that has been the subject of one of those skirmishes, and donald trump referencing that again in these latest tweets as he arrives in these latest tweets as he arrives in the uk. sadiq khan said in advance of this visit that although it was right that the us president was in the uk to mark the 75th d—day anniversary, he did not think the red carpet should be rolled out for donald trump.

you are 14,000 staff in the uk.e to give them any reassurance because they are quite worried? there is uncertainty, not only for us but for employees and customers and that is why we are hoping for a withdrawal agreement if we have to go through brexit and an orderly brexit with a long—term situation. we want the uk to remain competitive in the long—term. but the uncertainty is there. let's talk trade now because the tariff battle between the trump administration and china grows on. apple has now weighed in on the argument, begging the white house not to increase ta riffs the white house not to increase tariffs on imports from china. let's cross now to rico who, i hope can explain to us why. well, apple sent a letter to the white house, victoria, and they urged president trump to drop the tariff plans, stressing that the duties would tilt the playing field to its global rivals and hurt its global competitiveness. the company said that imposing duties on an additional $300 billion worth of chinese product would not c

so turmoil within change uk. and apart from the press co nfe re nce , within change uk.e been obvious for some time there was internal disagreement about where the party should be positioning itself what the long—term tactics should be, whether it's cozying up closer to the lib dems or maintaining themselves as independent party, real ructions inside change uk, we'll know more i think later on when we find out what those six are choosing to do this i may have decided to join the live bands or a semi going off as independence, but in a crowded of fellow parties campaigning clearly for man, you have change uk the lib dems and the greens, another mps lighting referendum, change uk were being squeezed, the party did not keep momentum going that it had earlier in the year, when it launched pretty much out of the blue taking westminster by surprise, it is now in real difficulty, but anna super says she's deeply disappointed because it's a critical time and people have decided to leave the party, but she's an emphatic as the party, but she's an emphatic as the party new leader,

we are talking so much about a uk us free trade deal because it's tremendously important to the uk.tionship. until that's resolved, there will be no uk us free trade deal. it remains largely aspirational for the near future. at buckingham palace last night, the queen pointed to the international institutions that were built up after the second world war, designed to try to ensure peace in the future. how do you think those words went down with the president? the president was standing there and he adores the queen. the american people are very strongly supportive of the royal family, people are very strongly supportive of the royalfamily, so it was quite a moment. ithink of the royalfamily, so it was quite a moment. i think he will have been taking it in more than listening to the words. i don't think the principle is one he rejects. he certainly rejects the strategy, he doesn't like multilateralism, it's fine if it's there as long as he is not constrained by it. there's been a bit of that, wanting to create institutions but not be fully constrained by them. i think the queen was br

the idea that they were coming to live and work in the uk. the final factor i think was a much broader sovereignty argument, this idea that the uk did not necessarily want to be part of a collective decision-making process, but they wanted the right to be able to make some of their own economic and regulatory decisions such as being able to negotiate free trade agreements with the u.s. if they wanted. the difficulty that i think the uk is going to face and a number of these things is simply the geographic and practical reality that the european union is a very large entity before it is their largest trading partner and whatever form that they end up taking they will have to find a way to manage their political and economic insecurity situation with their neighbors. >> host: democrats whine, trudy. good morning. >> caller: i just heard about what you have on and i would like to comment i do support the mayor in london. i am originally from germany. how can an uneducated man coming from building buildings become president clicks he doesn't have

how difficult is it for the uk to pitch for business? it is tough.many things about britain which make it a fantastic place like rule of law and corporate tax rates, it is difficult if you are part of a global business to try and convince investment to come to the uk at the moment. the uncertainty means that other countries bidding for the same investment pots are finding it easier. i wonder whether there is a silver lining, because of course, we have seen the value of the pound depreciate at some point. if we were to get a harder brexit or no—deal brexit come the 31st of october, we would see sterling depreciate further. that is good news if you are an international investor looking at the uk, it makes it cheap. it does if you are an external investor looking to buy assets in the uk. it also makes a difference to different sectors. if you are a retailer whose costs are in dollars, your costs are going to go in dollars, your costs are going to 9° up in dollars, your costs are going to go up if the pound depreciate. if you are an exporter, it may be b

he will tell supporters the uk must leave on the sist supporters the uk must leave on the 31st of october and any more canon kicking will mean defeat for the party at her general election —— khan. he will say his victories as london mayor marked him out as the pessimist able to beatjeremy corbyn. he is the favourite in the race. these are not quite picture so i hope they stabilise before boris johnson appears and we can bring you his speech. the slogan for his campaign, but boris, let us bring in oui’ campaign, but boris, let us bring in our system political editor, norman smith —— back boris. quite a long time since he has faced the questions ofjournalists and quiet since he announced he would be standing as leader. deliberately so because his team want to keep him out of the public gaze or media gaze, there is a fear he might do something that might damage his position as a front runner. when he arrived, his car pulled up at another building, he was pretty much washed out before anyone realised what was going on, a deliberate policy —— rushed out. he will have to a nswer policy —— rushe

uber is appealing the decision in the uk.usiness stories: talks between mexico and the us aimed a averting a new trade war will resume for a third day on friday. president trump has threatened to hit all imports from mexico with rising tariffs, starting with a 5% tax from monday, unless it curbs illegal immigration over the border. on thursday mexico offered to send troops to secure its southern border with guatemala. the german government is considering a merger between struggling commerzbank, of which it's the biggest shareholder, and dutch rival ing, according to a report by bloomberg. merger talks between commerz and deutsche bank collapsed last month and the report claims the focus has now shifted to a cross—border deal which might mean fewer job losses mastercard has suspended an advertising campaign with the brazilian football star neymar, after he was accused of raping a woman at a luxury hotel in paris last month. mastercard says it will stop using images of the paris st—germain player until the situation is resolved

and the uk. he said, listen, we love america but because america is our best friend we have to be able to say when we disagree with some of the things that your president is doing. i'm not sure whether donald trump will appreciate that answer, though. >> so, dana, other leaders have taken a different tact with president trump and not taken the sadiq kahn tact but rather the subtle messaging that theresa may and queen elizabeth have been doing. this is all of this churchill that they keep showing him that suggests that out of wartime you can promote peace and these international organizations such as the u.n. and nato that stand for peace. >> exactly. >> i just think that it's interesting that they have made a point of showing him the alliance and the agreements that have been signed and handing him the books about it. >> yeah, there is no subtlety to that whatsoever. it will be impossible for him to not get what the message is that they're trying to send to him to, please, please, stick with the

and uk intelligence services. don't forget it was not that long ago that donald trump has actually, by name, attacked the uk intelligence services, whether it was mi6, he believes that they are in on his hoax. that they are in on being after him. christopher steele was former mi6, and these have left lasting damage. we might not see it on tv and he and the prime minister may not talk about it when they're standing behind a podium, but people in the intelligence community that have to work day to day with one of our four closest intelligence partners, they know that he has done damage and he's unfortunately not done doing it. >> bobby ghosh, your take. we know that the president has been very critical of nato while he's been in office, but theresa may gave him credit right out of the gate for pushing nato nations, nato allies, for stepping up and paying more of their fair share. >> yeah, it's a talking point that's now two years old. and they went through a lot of very old talking points. in all the years that i've

and, yes, people may purchase a few more cars produced in the uk for use in the uk and we may eat a bit changes. people will adapt, i accept that. you said yourself that your own business is not faced with exposure. what about people with business that depends on the straight and they suddenly find that their goods have been priced out of competitiveness? they either absorb the costs because the swedish person buying automotive pro —— art says they are hard businessmen. i don't know any farmers who could absorb a5%— 70%. don't know any farmers who could absorb 4596- 7096. people forget that three years ago, our exporters got a 10-12% cut three years ago, our exporters got a 10— 12% cut because of the movement in the exchange rate. medics —— increase their profit. what have they done with that? they have been better off for the last three years and you think that is a good thing, presumably? they have had a serious leg up. so jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, just plain bread today? that is the nature of business. but our government to make its own decisions. we can help exporters to reduce a

in the uk.have done already. a lot of criticism that this is just ten stores across the country, amazon is synonymous with changing our shopping habits and leaving in no small part to the decline in our high street, so many suggesting this is too little, too late. we spoke to one organisation which represents high streets up and down the country to try and get more of us to support local business. this is what they told us about that move. rather than a leg up from almost like a charity, from a really big corporation, who has played a massive part in the demise of the high street, what small businesses wa nt high street, what small businesses want is a level playing field. so they just want to be want is a level playing field. so theyjust want to be paying the same taxes, they want the same rates to be paid by amazon, and then when that starts to happen, they had got a fighting chance. that is one view of amazon's move. in the next hour i will hot footed across town because the first of these st

in the uk, we sold 2 million.and a lot of the world are doing quite well supplying it. especially germany. some countries have geared their whole economy around exports to either the us or china. they want everything to go back to normal because that is how they make their money. the world is catching a cold even though both china and america have such big internal markets they can actually afford to have this trade war. we will watch this space for show. thank you for coming in, from the institute of economic affairs. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. sportswear giant nike has reportedly run into trouble after one of its designers expressed support for protesters in hong kong on instagram. according to the financial times newspaper, the us firm cancelled the sale of a range of shoes in china designed byjun takahashi. the head of the us central bank jerome powell has used a speech to stress the fed's independence. it's widely expected to cut interest rates soon and has been under pres

it would be a great advantage for the uk. has been a difficult trading partner for some countries around the world, currently in trade wars with mexico and also with china. here is an example of him again delving into that relationship between the eu and britain. he has done that before when he came on his visit last year, he told theresa may that she should sue the european union. he has also suggested who he thinks might make a good tory leader, so we know he has been quite positive about boris johnson. of course, borisjohnson is someone johnson. of course, borisjohnson is someone who has advocated the idea of leaving the eu without a deal, if he were the leader. but what we don't know is whether or not donald trump knows that borisjohnson once described him as demonstrating stupefying ignorance, and not being fit for office. that is after donald trump said that london had no—go areas, and borisjohnson was at the time mayor of london. perhaps they will chat about that when he comes to britain. he will be here for three days

into the uk. right, laura. it's notjust up to us. it's up to the other side, as well. and there is an important element of mutuality and cooperation in this. and we will be working with our friends and partners to make sure we have an outcome that is manifestly in the interests of people, of businesses, of communities, on both sides of the channel. and you think you could get that through parliament? you think you could get a no—deal through parliament? i do — well, i do. you've got to be very clear. i think parliament now understands that the british people want us to come out and to honour the mandate that they gave us, and i think that mps on both sides of the house also understand that they will face mortal retribution from the electorate unless we get on and do it. and you know, again, what has changed since 29 march is that my beloved party is down 17 points on the polls. labour isn't doing much better. as i say, with superhuman incompetence, corbyn managed to go backwards in the recent coun

when we talk about hot weather in the uk, we talk about hot weather in the uk, we talk about it coming heat is to m ove a cross south but this wave of heat is to move across europe and the reason why in this country he waves don't last for very long is usually because we are at the very tip of it. that distance here doesn't last for very long, whereas in the south, there is a large supply of hot air and it lasts a lot longer. have i lost you completely? no. no shortage of hotair lost you completely? no. no shortage of hot air here. you can see why people in scotland get upset because we are obsessing with the weather in the south—east but actually this is affecting everybody. absolutely. i will show you in detail what is happening around the country. this cold wind blowing off the north sea, it means around 18 degrees on the norfolk, essex coast. gusts of wind 30 to 50 mph in places and then look at that more detailed map. 26 here, down to 15 in aberdeen. to change this the wind needs to change direction so it needs to stop blowing off the sea, it needs to start coming in off the land.

waterloo is an integral part of ourjourney to the uk. windrush generation sharing their stories. i was thinking that surely the wider issue here is notjust passing on that history to the next generation from the windrush generation but also to wider society, because i am sure what has happened with windrush, what took place last year, surely that is an opportunity to educate britain as a whole on racism and white privilege. most definitely and white privilege. most definitely and what we are saying is, that is why the memorial is where it is so that persons from across the uk can really be educated and join in us in celebrating because we have moulded british society. it is not only for the windrush generation and their descendants, it is the wider british society. sajid javid has issued 67 apology so far. he says he is committed to righting wrongs. how should those rungs be tackled? the first thing is that the compensation scheme, they should put more resources behind it so a person affected can understand what it is about and apply to

are you confident one of them could steer the uk economy and the uk out of europe?uch, use the hashtag bbc biz live. hello and welcome to business live. we start with global trade tensions and geo—political uncertainty. it's playing on the minds of the world's top central bankers this week. the most important — the us central bank — will tell us later today if it plans to cut the cost of borrowing to shelter its economy from the fallout. this week, the us federal reserve, bank ofjapan and bank of england all tell us the direction of rates. while the european central bank, which met on tuesday, said it's willing to cut rates or launch more stimulus if needed. as tensions rattle the global economy, central banks around the world are moving toward looser policy to keep their economic engines chugging along. in australia, russia, india and chile, central bank bosses recently lowered rates. the cost of borrowing has become political — and the us president has hit out at the ecb boss mario draghi, who stressed he's ready to boost the flagging eurozone. trump said it would

completely, andi when he was in the uk.ompletely, and i think that question stunted them a little bit. there is the issue that it is about the millions of people who voted for brexit, not the one person heading up the debate. nigel farage is a clear competitor to whoever will be the next leader of the conservative party, so it is not a question they would have liked. not only would have liked, but an interesting comment about rory stewart. the times has ranked them all, and they had him head of the pack with michael gove. they talked about the fa ct michael gove. they talked about the fact that for him, he was on nigel farage's radio show that morning, where he was talking about the fact that he would love to engage with him from number ten, which was quite interesting. completely. so much more to discuss on that, and boris johnson says he will show up for the bbc debate on tuesday evening. now, let's move onto the impact is having, and the british chambers of commerce coming up having, and the british chambers of commerce

the uk is not going to have to sign up the uk is not going to have to sign up to anything and everythingnything and everything the us wants when it comes to an agreement. but if you look at the treatment and technology coming out of the us, they are some of the most advanced in the world, and it would be wonderful if there were some opportunities to get more access to those treatments and get them faster here in the uk. we should be open—minded about this at least. as you say, it is a disgrace that the usa cannot provide universal access to healthcare. but almost all of the developed world does, and almost all of the developed world is in a position to show both the us and the uk that there are reforms to be made, andi uk that there are reforms to be made, and i worry about the nhs and these free—trade deals that it will become so narrow focused on essentially something that is already happening that we overlook opportunities. as christina says, thatis opportunities. as christina says, that is the big difference, and it could mean that the drugs that we use here in the uk become more exp

there was also talk of a future trade deal with the uk

that's a record for a women's football match in the uk.atching at glastonbury as organisers put the game on big screens on one of their stages. that came after a request from one of the lionesses players, georgia stanway, who came on last night. her brother is at the festival, and stanway made a plea on twitter for them to show the match so that he could see her play. the girls were giving me stick saying there's not a chance you will get that. and obviously it was shown yesterday. hundreds and thousands of people watching and apparently my brother was on someone's shoulders when i came onto the pitch and eve ryo ne when i came onto the pitch and everyone was applauding him, so he was loving the glory. the music hadn't started at glastonbury so it was the perfect time to get the game on. that's thousands and thousands of people watching, so it is unbelievable. ac milan have been banned from european competition next season, that's after breaking uefa's financial fair play rules. the club, which finished fifth in italy's serie a, will miss

high pressure close to the uk means very settled sunny conditions.t will push into parts of germany and poland. iwon't heat will push into parts of germany and poland. i won't say it will be excruciatingly hot but those temperatures will be rising by the time we get to saturday. friday is still a relatively cool day. temperatures of around 26 or 27 degrees. 18 on the north sea coast. and then, we see a dramatic rise in the temperatures across some central and eastern parts of the uk. the winds are blowing straight out of france where we have that inferno across the channel. temperatures possibly up to a0 degrees in france. top temperatures here probably hit 32 degrees over the weekend. but ta ke 32 degrees over the weekend. but take a look at these excruciatingly hot values further south. hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 2: outcry in america. the distressing images of children in detention centres as the border crisis deepens. political parties there blame each other. right now, little children are enduring trauma and

lots of rain falling across parts of the uk.ince the rain began falling yesterday in lincolnshire, one or two spots had seen well over 80 millimetres, more than we would normally expect in the whole month ofjune. this is why, and area of low pressure sitting around here, spiralling around that we have kyle jameson outbreaks of rain, the stripe of culture sitting in place, not moving anywhere quickly, so the wettest weather continue across parts of lincolnshire and the north midlands, wet weather to merseyside, north—east wales, dangling down into cornwall. the same areas will see cloud and persistent rain through the rest of this afternoon. where it was so wet in the south—east yesterday, we see sunshine but also some heavy, fungible shallots. light winds here, pretty brisk winds elsewhere. you will notice the strength of the north—easterly winds and you can see gusts of a0 mph or more, 11 degrees in birmingham, 12 in hull. northern ireland, the far north of england and scotland predominantly dry with some sunny and scotland pre

the uk is warning russia in "the strongest possible terms" to stop air strikes in syria.stion in the commons a foreign office minister, andrew murrison, said... "attacks in idlib have seen aircraft bombing civilian targets like hospitals and schools which he called a "clear breach of international law". the un has confirmed that since the end of april, at least 25 health facilities including two major hospitals and 37 school is been damaged due to air strikes in north—west syria. these attacks are a clear breach of international law. we call in the strongest possible terms on the regime and russia to seize the attacks and end the suffering of those in the ad lib government. as a response, that partners are scaling at the humanitarian response to meet the growing needs on the grounds. further escalation of violence triggering waves of displacement would likely overwhelm an already stretched humanitarian response. reports from the region tell escorts of hospitals being attacked and there are millions of people in that area that are in desperate need of health care. so a bad

the uk is trying to reshape old relationships, and it's not easy.agenda when mrs may met european leaders. she still seemed, somehow, out of place, no longer part of the in crowd. so where does britain sit in the world? i continue to believe that we are stronger when we work together. the uk has never been afraid to stand up for the global rules that underpin our values and our way of life. how important is leaving the european union with a good deal to britain's future as a global player? i've always said that i think it's best for the united kingdom for us to leave in an orderly way, and that means leaving with a good deal. i believe that we negotiated a good deal, but parliament has not come to a majority supporting that deal, and it would be up to my successor to find a way of delivering. i believe that conservative party members, as with the majority of the public in the united kingdom, want us to deliver on brexit. i believe they want us to deliver not just what that means in terms of leaving the eu, but the brighter future that we believe the

now, remember, the uk cannot sign a formal agreement until it leaves the eu.ess reporter mariko oi has the details. that's right, this is an agreement to agree in the future because as you said the uk can‘t sign a formal deal until it leaves the eu. nevertheless, liam fox has been very busy negotiating possible bilateral trade deals with various countries across asia, and he will be signing this deal in principle with his south korean counterpart in just under an hour‘s time. this is the first trade agreement in principle here in asia, and it is very important for the uk. because if you remember south korea has a free trade deal with the eu which has benefited the uk until now, but it will no longer be in effect after brexit, and from the south korean perspective, the uk is the second biggest trading partner in the eu after germany, so it was important for seoul to come to this agreement as well. the uk will continue negotiating a similar deal with japan, which hasn‘t been successful, as well as china. china and the uk have said they will start negotiations af

that could work, that could stop the uk leaving with no—deal... could stop the uk leaving with no-dealtrate things don't happen to frustrate things on the floor of the house, and therefore the only thing that is in law is article 50, saying we are leaving and that's what we have to ensure we do. how many jobs will be lost as a result of the uk leaving the eu with no deal? we have heard the eu with no deal? we have heard the scare stories... how many? we have the scare stories before which said even if we voted to leave... how manyjobs will be lost if the uk leaves the eu with no deal? i'm saying how wrong information like this was in the past... how many? if you have all these information long before, significantly wrong... i'm asking you what you think. they set half a million people would be made unemployed, they were wrong, we have record rates up an appointment. 500? 5000? i'm not getting into this with you. i'm saying so for all these predictions have been wrong and we have now got record high employment. that's what we have to continue to be, world leader and go out with a forwar

and the uk signal that it is open to letting them in. the u.s. has kind of publicly threatened that if it does that, perhaps the u.s. will not be able to share intelligence with the uk in the way that it does today. that would be a significant development if something like that were to happen. >> the president did say that he didn't see that happening. he called the u.s. british alliance, the greatest alliance the world has ever known. as we mentioned earlier, the president has expressed his support of boris johnson as the future prime minister and he met with boris johnson, but he didn't say what they talked about. he was asked if his opinion of jeremy corbin, the labor leader, and he said that he wanted to meet with him and the president said, i told him no, he is somewhat of a negative force. >> the president has not been shy about taking shots at some politicians and london including the mayor of london. he also heard him talk about him saying he is a negative force, and then with jeremy corbin, and the president just a couple of day
