excellent organisation of this meeting next year poland will be leading this process to do with the western balkans good tradition, we have an intention of wanting to share with our balkan friends are experiences of the process of accessing the european union, of reaching the union stage by stage. 0ur problems from the 19905 resemble the situation that we have discussed today here at our summit. an important subject was the exchange, the cultural exchanges, exchanges between young people. so that the use of western balkans can find out about our experiences, about experiences of european union, we will be very happy to share our experiences amongst the many problems. madame by minister spoke about it. there are issues to do with corruption, with organised crime. in poland in the 19905 the situation was not all that dissimilar from situation was not all that dissimilarfrom what was situation was not all that dissimilar from what was described to us today. so are experiences of fighting corruption from the 19905 may be relevant to our friends from the western balkans today. today our ranking in terms

they hope to generate greater wealth but before the western balkans can hope to benefit from europe's economic strength they've got some homework to do. all in all the west balkans are quite a way along the path to membership according to sources in brussels they've made progress on the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary the legislative process is also being brought in line with the european union. but e.u. membership also means integration in the common market business must be competitive and in many cases that's a long way off the most important yardstick for the economic strength of a country is its gross domestic product in albania g.d.p. per capita is only about three thousand eight hundred fifty euros per year in macedonia it's only a little bit around four thousand six hundred by comparison e.u. member states have an average g.d.p. of thirty two thousand seven hundred euros annually about eight times higher. then there's the widespread corruption coupled with organized crime and money laundering but what are the alternatives for the region russia turkey and china

puzzle that's missing when it comes to combat in a legal migration with the countries in the western balkans for example we've found very good the odd regulations declaring them to say countries of origin so that the person applying for asylum can be dealt with much more quickly and decisions made but it's not just about to make a certain deportations necessary or nike a voluntary reply. tradition possible too but we've also said that if you can present you've got a job in the journey when you go you can come to germany illegally so i think this is an important component that all gone and systems and it can be helpful as a prototype with agreements with other countries so for example the skilled workers immigration arachnoid focuses on our own.

yesterday'sart that western balkans summit, bringing together the leaders of all western balkans countries in a spirit of cooperation and reconciliation, demonstrates that we have moved a long way in 23 years. the right honorable gentleman is correct. we must never become complacent. we must always be aware of the need for continuing work and effort. >> mr. speaker can i think the minister for his response. he reminds all of us of the dangers of extreme bigotry. tomorrow, the president of the willed states of america have the red carpet rolled out for him by this conservative party. for the public the welcome will be far from warm. plannedent -- protests across the united kingdom against president trump against his policies and his rhetoric, will the minister challenge president trump on his abysmal record on human rights. the minister thinks he will follow the prime minister's lead -- [inaudible] speaker, i disagree with the right honorable gentleman on this. this country's relationship with the united states of america is probably the closest between any two democracies in the west. it h

global britain which is why we have big events like the nato summit, president trump's visits, the western balkansmost of all this is a time when the world is looking at us as a country, wondering what type of country will be in a post—brexit world. i want to say to them is britain is going to be a dependable ally, a country that stands up for the values that matter to the people of this country and will be a strong, confident voice in the world. first words from jeremy hunt. what a wiki has got. talk about a huge red box he will have to absorb tonight, he has the balkans summit, he has the nato summit, years the visit of donald trump and the domestic uncertainty. let us start with the front page of the financial times. what do you make of the timing of their departures? obviously david davis winfred very late. it seems shambolic. he knew about the chequers deal on friday, you could have resigned then. there is talk about then deciding not to because they would have to walk to get a taxi home. then boris came well over 50 hours later. it makes you think that david davis could easily see he did it

means that for the rest of the week which is actually a really big weekend british diplomacy western balkans i would underway in the us and they said summit and then later on president coming that we don't have any top diplomats least not for now because tourism has not announced a new foreign secretary it also means that reason may must be very very nervous at the moment she delivered has statements and she said she had the covenant behind she had a cabinet agreement on friday is that really the case we've seen two high profile resignations also junior ministers and she must be wondering if this is it or if there is more to come so what realistically are teresa mayes options right now. well it's reason may at the moment can somehow pray that maybe nobody else is coming forward and that she can that she can find replacements for these two high profile ministers however this is far from clear of course intense speculation that maybe one of the other great city has for example the secretary of state for international trade could resign the secretary of state for the environment we haven't had

london on twitter people are asking themselves where is boris johnson he was supposed to be at the western balkan summit apparently he hasn't turned up there he was supposed to post to be a government high level security meeting the so-called cobra meeting and apparently he wasn't there either so people are asking what is he doing is he plotting his own resignation which would be if that would be the case probably others would follow he has been challenged by the likes of niger for us to imagine for us as well as to the honorable thing and come forward and save breck's it but other people are thinking that well maybe to exchange like a whole new leadership in the whole leadership team just before a crucial summit in october in brussels and just before breakfast in march is maybe not such a good idea so a lot is going on at the moment in the conservative party and have strived to get most in london and not a visit in brussels thank you both very much. more news from the you can promise the terrorism he says she's a poor and shocked by the death of a woman exposed to the soviet era poison navi chil

are, that the western balkans may have seemed like the easier subject to take on today.e had to say. about the uk leg of his trip. but the uk certainly has... they have a lot of things going on. have you talked to theresa may since boris johnson left? i have not, no i have not. but borisjohnson is a friend of mine, he's been very, very nice to me, very supportive. and i maybe will speak to him when i get over there. i like boris johnson, i've always liked him. should theresa may remain in power? well, that's up to the people. i get along with her very well, we have a very good relationship. that's certainly up to the people, not up to me. a few things to complicate things there, if donald trump speaks to the foreign secretary before things play out. i'm looking forward to seeing it president trump not only at the nato summit, which is coming up the next couple of days, but obviously when he comes to the united kingdom at the end of the week. there is much rusted discuss, the special relationship we have at the us is our longest and deepest defence and security relationsh

engagement in the western balkans. through active u.s. diplomacy with the e.u. we supported the prime minister in achieving a historic breakthrough in the grease name dispute. we helped open up communication channels and are promoting reforms. and all of the areas anchoring the western alliance and stabilizing the south were committed to finding a way forward. the past nine months i've made 29 visits to european countries and given more than 22 speeches. through the outreach i've seen what unites the west is far greater than what divides us. strong u.s. relations may not lead to immediate agreement with allies, but long-term process far outweigh the short-term benefits through the appearance of political unity. my messages the same, we must act. we cannot do for action on things that make the west weaker. a path is of strategic renovation. doing the hard work of strengthening the west now so we don't have to later on terms much more favorable. to preserve is to act. i'm committed to doing that and i'm convinced we will succeed with europe together. thank you. >>

four hours that the foreign secretary boris johnson was meant to give a press conference at the western balkan summit in london but downing street put out a statement this afternoon saying to resume a excepted his resignation but the balancing acts of both to resume may is not going so well in parliament at the moment let's take a listen. but i want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state for accepting the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated it. to him for marching. in from zero zero zero zero zero zero of the arms she really atmosphere of. oh i want to hear about these important marches she was he was sure the prime minister thank you for the call the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global bridge to the world as we lead the european union. but despite the eruptions of laughter that you've just had that reason a spokesperson said the government is not in meltdown and there's no question of revisiting the position agree to check is that meanwhile they're trying to make calls and lay bets at leeds or has marks may's c

supposed to be in the hosts summit meeting just up the road from here this afternoon that called the western balkan summit which of all things was supposed to be a way of explaining to countries like montenegro in albania how to how to join the european union and though he didn't turn up at that meeting went off he's officially residence instead held some talks advisors and now has announced twenty minutes before to resume a supposed to address the houses of parliament on her plan for what she's going to do with this new government proposals going forward the european union has now that he's resigning too and so i think you can only take this as a signal that he is preparing himself to launch a leadership contest at some points against the reason may after her statements in the house of commons itself and she's supposed to be meeting all the conservative party backbenchers these rank and file parliamentarians many of whom are hard directors many of whom aunts at six o'clock local time this evening to explain to all them what's her plan is and how she proposes to do a deal with the european union th

thing but then also to lose the foreign secretary particularly also in this where we've got a western balkan summit here in london we've got the nato summit coming up president trump's visit to a really important week and to spend that week without a foreign secretary or having to appoint somebody really new we have seen the murder investigation and because of nobody talk it's not a good times week to lose a foreign minister and the question is how many other cabinet members of house does she really have behind our office going to follow this is going to be the crucial question that will be entries amaze mind that's the thing of course might we be seeing a vote of confidence happening in the near future bereket. well that could well be the case we know that people are challenging boris johnson have been challenging him to instigate that however we need forty eight over own party to ask the chairman of. the committee to instigate a vote of confidence and it's not clear that this is yet the case that the numbers are there but people will be will be thinking about it and it's you know it brady

they hope to generate greater wealth but before the western balkans can hope to benefit from europe's economic strength they've got to do some homework first so are the west balkans economically fit to join the e.u. well that's what i asked analyst. well i think that most of the countries which previously join the e.u. are actually not fit to join the e.u. it's a process of catching up and for the countries of the worst some balkan starting point is not that favorable they had a huge wall behind them in the ninety's of the last century so the prime reason for the e.u. to engage with have a simple cause is not of economic nature it's about conflict transformation and about ensuring peace in the whole of the continent so this is the reason why the e.u. is highly interested to have the countries on board quite soon you just sit right at the beginning of your on so that most of the country certainly in the southern europeans would fit economically to join the e.u. is the us strong enough to make the same mistakes all over again i don't think that these are mistakes i think that this is a

you've been attending this summit of the western balkans here in london to discuss the various ethnichat exist in your region. you've got an ethnic albanian population of about 22% of your 2 million people, and there are tensions, aren't there? again, between you and the nationalist opposition. we have conflict between macedonians and albanians in 2001. it's a big conflict, in front of war, we considered war in the society. we passed through this conflict and now really a lot of things happen from then. but the right nationalistic government that ruled our country for 11 years before my mandate... who was in powerfor 11 for 11 years before my mandate... who was in power for 11 years. they did huge damage to the country, especially in that matter, because we are a more technical country. we are baulk in a micro picture. beside macedonians, we have 22% albanians. we are multi— ethnical. we build a concept one society for all. it's a very positive concept to have all the same rights and same obligation for all citizens in front of institutions. but our president doesn't agree with that.

of course well the foreign secretary boris johnson was meant to give a press conference at the western balkans summit in london but downing street put out a statement this afternoon saying the prime minister to resign may have accepted johnson's resignation now he had been holed up in his official residence today so this was increasing speculation with room a sickening around that he might resign tony was johnson the foreign secretary of course but the public face of the leave campaign and this departure could deep in the sense of crisis around summation battles to please a cabinet save a negotiating. of the moments but in them to twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis the secretary and he said that to reason they had given away too much too easily when he resigned his threats as secretary on sunday night now he'll be replaced they by dominic rob a prominent leave campaign in the two thousand and sixteen referendum but the prime minister faces as a tense meeting with tory m.p.'s and pitt is in parliament today and she'll want to try and keep a cabinet under control am
