so the uk parliament is centrestage in this. me very fashionable to say it is at all boring what happens in parliament, well it won't be for the next couple of years, there will be some big moments. i think it's an admirable thing in british commentary that we find fault first at home with our own negotiators, but i think it would be fair to take a look or two or three at the eu negotiating position, which in the case of mr barnier, seems to be a mixture of napoleonic auteur and fairground hucksterism. over the divorce bill, saying you've got to pay and agree how much it is, before we talk about the future relationship, is completely unrealistic because the british government, even if it were a labour government, would need to satisfy the british public that there was a fair deal in offing. to ask us to ask the british public to approve a massive divorce bill without considerable progress on the kind of relationship, economic and political we're going to have, with the eu after all this is done, and to have, to be honest with you

to replace the supremacy of european union law in the uk have passed their first major test in parliament. the eu withdrawal bill aims to cut the uk's political, financial and legal ties with brussels. the un security council has voted unanimously to impose new sanctions on north korea as punishment for carrying out a nuclear test. the sanctions target pyongyang's ability to fund and fuel its nuclear programme. those are the headline so far. now it is time for world business report. —— headlines so. president macron faces the wrath of french workers. its biggest union launches strike action today bringing disruption across the country. and the boss of bmw gives us his brexit wish list and reveals the car giant's electric ambitions.

british plans to replace the supremacy of european union law in the uk have passed their first major test in parliamentgreed to consider the proposals in further detail. the eu withdrawal bill will cut the uk's political, financial and legal ties with brussels. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. this was one of the first big parliamentary tests for the government. this was a bill they wanted to introduce to bring all existing european union law into uk law. when the uk leads the eu they would not be a big black hole and things could continue as usual. what was contentious was the government wanted to allow ministers to make changes to some of those laws without full parliamentary scrutiny. now, some opposition labour mps, including the labour party leader, said that was a power grab, that it was trying to bypass parliamentary scrutiny and it was not acceptable. despite that, the government did win enough support to get this piece of legislation through to the next parliamentary staged. now, the prime minister, theresa may, welcomed that result tonight because she has no overall majority.

power of domestic democratic control over pooling that control, strengthening the role of the uk parliament and the devolved scottish parliament, welsh and northern ireland assemblies in deciding our laws. that is our choice. it does not mean that we are no longer a proud member of the family of european nations, and it does not mean we are turning our back on europe, or worse, that we do not wish europe -- the eu to succeed. the success of the eu is profoundly in our national interest, and that of the wider world. but having made this choice, the question now is whether we the leaders of britain and of the eu's member states and institutions can demonstrate that creativity, that innovation, that ambition that we need to shape a new partnership to the betterment of all our people. i believe we must, and i believe we can. for while the uk's departure from the eu is inevitably a difficult process, it is 234 all of our interests for our negotiations to succeed. if we were to fail or be divided the only beneficiaries would be those who reject our values and oppose our interests. so i believe th

getting underway for the second day before the vote tonight on the legislation which would allow the uk parliamenti young who is just yards away outside that chamber. we are expecting a vote tonight. how tight could it be? i think the government will get through this pretty easily. downing street have said they are confident this bill will get through and that is because even though there are some conservatives who have doubts and concerns about this, one called the bill monstrous, there does not seem to be the appetite to defeat theresa may at this point. that does not mean that further down the parliamentary line they will not wa nt the parliamentary line they will not want some changes. the overwhelming feeling from all sides today, listening to the debate in the last couple of hours or so, they do think some changes will need to be made. the message from the government is clear. we are leaving the european union at the end of march 2019. they have to give legal certainties to individuals and businesses they unidirectional there is not a vacuum that all this eu law is transposed over into eu la

it's the same driver within the parliament, there is a majority to carry through brexit in the uk parliamentdone in time. with mrs merkel, we're very careful, government ministers, on commenting on other countries politics abroad, it gets us into an ending trouble if we break the rules, i've got to be careful how i respond. the primary effect of the european muster with the german election, on the brexit process, is a timing one. it's going to happen in september, september 26 i think from memory. normally after german election because of the syste m german election because of the system it takes 1—3 months to form a new coalition sometimes longer if it's an issue. if the new government which will be very important. within the politics of europe, germany is enormously important. it's the biggest country in economic terms, population terms, a paymaster in many ways. it has a lot of influence. it's a founder member. it's hard to overestimate the influence of it. the outcome of the german election, i'm not going to guess what it's going to be, i have my views and i'm quite optimistic about it,

a majority of mps in the uk house of parliament have voted on the eu withdrawal bill.e have been hearing so far this morning, that doesn't mean it is easy pathway at all. but one challenge has been overcome. yes, and whenever this is legislation which will now have to go through more details examination, in the committee stage, and the really contentious parties these henry viii powers. which sounds gloriously exotic. yes, lots of the headings and are mine robes. —— beheadings and are mine robes. —— beheadings and ermine robes. it will really be allowing mps to do things with minimal scrutiny, which is strange, because brexit has been all about taking back control. to have the government do this is really confusing. the government's view is that the timeframe is so narrow that they can't possibly debate this. we are in uncharted territory here. we have until march 3019 before we leave. unless something happens, of course. this is not entirely 100% predetermined. this is about getting things done. article 50 has been triggered. nothing new there are black. this is about

there are likely crucial and contentious parts that the government needs to get through parliament before the uker of norway has claimed victory for her centre—right coalition. she is to be the first conservative prime minister in three decades to be re—elected. at least 96 people have died in thursday's earthquake in mexico, which is affected more than two and a half million people. the authorities have been trying to provide food, water and shelter for the survivors but has acknowledged problems in accessing the remote, mountainous areas in oaxaca and chiapas states. from mexico, here's our correspondent raul paullier. four days after the earthquake which struck mexico, juchitan, was hit by the earthquake, is recovering. many say the official response was not quick enough, and that it has been insufficient. thousands of people that lost their homes are staying and sleeping on the streets. they are too afraid of the after—shocks and of losing the few possessions they have left. and this is a place where the relief efforts have been concentrated since friday. i have been visiting smaller towns o

is one of the first hefty pieces of legislation relating to brexit that the uk government is trying to get through parliamentat it will bring all existing eu law in the uk law. the minute the uk leads the european union, there is this huge gaping legislative black hole. the problem, as some mps see it, is that part of this bill allows government ministers to make some changes to that legislation without phil parliamentary scrutiny. they see that as some kind of power grab by the government. the government's are given for this is simple. they say that there is so much eu legislation that some of it needs minor tweaks and changesjust to make it makes sense. it would ta ke to make it makes sense. it would take far too long to put all of that the way through parliament, so they just want these powers to try and make necessary changes. they are not going to abuse them. this is not stop the concern amongst some particularly labour mps on the opposition benches, and the snp and lib dems as well. they are mostly likely to work against the government but i think this bill will get through when it comes to the vote in

this repeats the 1972 act of parliament that took the uk into what was then called the common market.eal bill. it also ends the supremacy of eu law in the uk, and it does that by basically cutting and pasting all of the eu law and dragging it into british law. the government's argument all along has been that there could be 800 to 1000 changes that would need to be made to the legal system, and notjust in england and wales, but also in scotland, through statutory instruments. they say that ministers in devolved assemblies will also have the powers to make the changes. because it is notjust one legal system within the uk. they want to get the bill through, because once they have completed that, they will then see more big acts of parliament that need to be passed, to deal with the consequences of leaving the european union. so it is a tight timetable. it all needs to be done at the vote by march 200019. one of the complaints we have heard in the last few days is that some of the powers in this bill give ministers the opportunity to actually named the opportunity to actually named the d

the uk's exit from the eu will have an impact in the hemi—circle of the european parliament, because what to do with the life—size versions of these. how will they look different after brexit? first of of all, there will be a reduction in the size of the parliament. the department is now 751. it will have 700 seats in the end. so, we will use a part of the 73 seats of the uk. we will use 22 for a new allocation of seats, because the current situation is unfair for a number of states. it means france will get four new seats. hungry won't get any. sweden will get one more. but germany will stick with its 97, because theat‘s the maximum allowed under eu law. but some want to see a better reflection of population changes. they're disappointed that has been delayed until the european elections, in 202a. and because of brexit, things are more complicated in northern ireland. this is where the sinn fein meps sit, and they think that the republic of ireland should be given three extra seats to accommodate irish passport holders in northern ireland that they believe should be of the vote in t

uk wants. also the negotiator for the european parliament talked about how britain has now seen the reality of happen and so this sense you got from the speech yesterday was that theresa may was trying to develop a better negotiating position with the eu. there was a much warmer tone and you get the sense they are inching towards the idea that there has to be a deal. we have that cut—off point in march 2019 and if there isn't a transition period, then effectively they would talk about britain crashing out of the eu. we would go to world trade organisation rules, so britain's focus is on getting that trade deal. the ratings agency moody's has downgraded britain's long—term credit rating. it says it made the decision because of the economic uncertainty caused by the brexit negotiations and the likelihood that the public finances would become weaker. downing street says the firm's assessments were "outdated". 0ur reporterjessica parker spoke to alastair wilson from moody's to ask him why the uk's credit rating had been downgraded. we have downgraded the uk for two reasons, firstly because we no l

moment for the eu that the uk will soon regret, the eu commission president jean—claude juncker has told regret, the eu commission president jean—claudejuncker has told the eu parliamenthe uk fell to 1.46 million in the three months tojuly, taking the overall unemployment rate to 4.3% — that's down from 4.4%. but wages are still lagging behind rising prices, meaning a real terms cut in pay for many workers. apple has revealed its high—end smartphone, called the iphone x. it has no physical home button, but uses a facial recognition system to recognise its owner rather than using a fingerprint. it comes with a hefty price tag of £1,000 when it goes on sale on november 3rd. uk budget airline easyjet is to let customers use its website to book long—haul flights with other carriers. it says it is the first global airline connections service by a european low fares carrier. easyjet is teaming up with norwegian and westjet to offer flights to north and south america, as well as singapore, from gatwick. what's rising faster — your wages or the price of a home in your local area? when the two are compared it looks like there is a significant north—south divide. the yorkshire

uk government withdrawal bill represents a power grab, seeking to replace eu law in devolved areas with unilateral westminster decision—making, that is simply unacceptable. as it stands, the scottish government will not recommend to this parliamentislation in this parliament to secure legislation in this parliament to secure the necessary continuity of laws in scotland. we also continue to argue the case for continued uk membership of the single market and customs union. leaving either will have deeply damaging consequences for the economy and for the wider society. injune, for the economy and for the wider society. in june, we for the economy and for the wider society. injune, we will consider again the issue of the referendum on independence when the terms of brexit are clear. in the coming months, we will publish a series of evidence —based paper setting out how enhanced powers for the parliament and key policy areas will allow us better to protect our interests and fulfil ambitions for the country. these papers will cover immigration and the importance to the economy, welfare, employment and employability and trade, and we will seek to work with other parties and civics scotland to build a consensus on the powers that this p

parliament this morning and just now. the european union is keen and eager to understand better how the uk government will translate the primenister's speech into negotiating positions. this is essential, and would enable us to advance this week, i hope, and make real progress over the coming months. real progress of the three main issues, citizens, ireland, financial settlement, is essential to move to the discussion as the transition, as well as in the future. michel barnier verma. the brexit secretary david davis at the same short briefing told reporters that progress could be made on one potential stumbling block to a deal being struck. 0n the financial settlement, as part ofa 0n the financial settlement, as part of a smooth and orderly brexit, we do not want our eu partners to worry that we will need to pay more received less over the remainder of the current budget plan at over top oui’ the current budget plan at over top our decision to leave. the uk will honour commitments we have made during the period of our membership. but it's obvious that reaching a conclusion on this issue can only be donein conclusion on this
