union but also a very difficult sell to the european union because they would say well hang on you can't have one thing without the other if you want free movement is going to be of all everything at the same time and so they would be inclined to reject this plan as well but what she's trying to do is appeal to everybody at once the people who want to leave in the people don't want to leave in the people who really really don't want to leave it just shows you the impossibility of that she's trying to bridge it but it's almost inevitably going to fail and ultimately when you get to the what you'll get is either completely out brick sets with her gone in a hard line and to european government instead or a complete failure to leave the european union probably the u.k. might end up staying in looks like in the fullness of time is to be one of the other than some sort of in the middle all right thanks. live at. the houses of parliament. in order. breaking the countries. where arrested in. the killing of. they have pleaded not guilty and say police planted evidence on them florence looting rep

union and their determination to push a strategy that will weaken and break up the european union i think that is a very real prospect that that kind of strategy could be adopted by these two leaders informally today and in the longer run in a more firm sense so as i say that would be a very worrying prospect indeed for european leaders and that you know that's what we've heard the comments that we've heard from donald tusk for example but i hear them all the time now in germany where i'm based for torture vella journalist an ordinary people very great concern in europe these days especially peter coming into this meeting as donald trump in an interview is called the european union a follow on the trade front at least you know what do you make of those words. he's aggressive it's aggressive language and you wonder. where it comes from quite you know that the shared tradition the transatlantic tradition between you and i'm sorry i'm going to have to turn my mobile phone off or come back to it a moment. all right peter craven there covering the summit for us outside of the presidentia

the president has won a big concession from the european union. looks like the eu and the united states are going to be partnerss in expanding the trade relationship. and at the same time you've got a speaker who has introduced the idea of going out and campaigning for the quote unquote better way agenda, his agenda that he's had up thering on the hilthere onthe hill for . this is a guy who couldn't win his hometown running as a vice presidential candidate, running as a congressional candidate. why are you listening to anything this guy says? >> lou, look, i mean, the speaker, with all due respect to him, i guy i like, he does not understand leverage like donald trump does. i trust donald trump to negotiate these trade deals on a world stage. instead we're putting america first, we're putting american workers first. and frankly, this is a time when we need to leadership to stand behind the institution of the house as we prepare to impeach rod rosenstein for not giving us the documents and not producing the witnesses and when he does produce docume

well, the question was due want to mean the european union oi’ due want to mean the european union or not? it was very straightforward, he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going to. he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going tolj he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going to. i mean there are many who reportedly never voted at the time of the brexit, especially younger people. —— to you. they did not think it was important and there would be one argument saying that if you have another referendum, that you actually would get a bigger turnout and many would be more representative of what the british people wanted. the prime minister has said we do not need to have another referendum, and so has jeremy corbyn, the leader of the opposition party. but itjust highlights once again the turmoil going on within government, those who are trying to make this decision and forge this path all of us. and the uncertainty, or people trying to live their lives just do not know what is going to happen next. that have a look at this story on the front p

already in effect against the european union. they will be lifted while they sort out these differences and commitments on the part of the europeans. we are told dow jones is reporting as well that they will work with the administration to lower industrial tariffs, that this will happen on both sides of the atlantic and that they will, the europeans more to the point, increase their shipments of liquefied natural gas from the united states. that will also include more promise soy beans purchases from the european union and their regulatory standards, to hear a lot of u.s. businesses have tell us, have been more onerous and more in line with those in the united states generally considered to be looser and more acceptable. both sides apparently have fine-tuning the specifics on this, but it would appear that it works with the goal the president said to eventually secure zero tariffs on nonauto products with the goal beyond that to start extending that to auto-related products. this at a time some of the major european auto manufact

hard bricks it is you who really want to walk away from everything to do with the european union and always have done the ideological and peace are committed to a very hard brick sets and the soft bricks it is led by series of may these two camps have been at each other's throats for months it's been impossible to get an agreement between them the the coup really the reason may has carried off perhaps on friday at checkers is to present her plan for the brits that talks the final arrangement between britain and the e.u. which is a very close relationship for goods in a kind of a customs union this is not acceptable to the heartbreaks it is the question is how many of them all there how many of them are prepared to sacrifice their jobs in the cabinets to try and force this heartbreaks it and at the moment i would suggest to reason may's winning the arguments in the cabinet where you used the word coup what i was going to ask you did we witnessed you know a type of an attempted coup today by hard line brigadiers those hard big city years is that is that what we saw today well i think i

the british people voted to leave the european union. and i heard the turn of phrase that the president used earlier. but let me be very clear about this. we will be leaving the european union! and we are leaving on the 29th of march, 2019. as we leave the european union, we'll be delivering on what people voted for an end to free movement, an end to sending vast amounts of money to the european union every year, and end to the >> your dix of the european court of -- european court of justice here in the united coming out of various policies and by ensuring coming out of the customs union that we can have an independent trade policy that negotiate trade deals with the world. that's what the british people voted for. and that's what we will be delivering. we will deliver it in a way that protections jobs and livelihoods and meets our commitment to the border in between northern ireland and ireland. and robert? >> they said unrelated not related to -- we have the tape. you can ask sarah. get it from sarah. we taped the entire interview. th

the european union as a prevention strategy against the third is the euro centric way the only strategy of saving the world from a new disaster or is it perhaps the surest way of bringing it about well to discuss that i'm now joined by collapse and collide is director of the center for international studies at oxford university professor nicolaides it's an honor talking to you thank you very much for your time thank you now i know that for much of your khadem a career you've been focusing on how people collectively negotiated differences and you see the european union preachment much within that framework not only as an experiment in governance but also an experiment in settling and negotiating differences among the peoples as we're recording this conversation john clarke ian kerridge the president of the european commission and the quintessential european bureaucrat is supposed to be meeting with donald trump in many ways a remarkable american leader how do you think the two are likely to proceed well i think we can argue that it's not going to be an easy conversation will it indeed yo

the prize is delivering leaving the european union ina delivering leaving the european union in a way that is in our national interest. to what extent would you say that the prime minister is effectively saying to her colleagues there is no alternative. no bodies, with a better plan. you may not like bits of my plan but in the absence of anything better this is the only option on the table. that is exactly her argument. using that the european union came up with some suggestions, none of them were a cce pta ble suggestions, none of them were acceptable to ours. so here is my proposal. it is the only one on the table. before that meeting at chequers her allies in cabinet were s0 chequers her allies in cabinet were so you have to face down your critics. i think that is essentially what she did. a couple of cabinet ministers as a result. david davis and boris johnson of ministers as a result. david davis and borisjohnson of course couldn't stomach what was in it. the question now is the extent to which she is prepared to face down some of her own backbenchers. the likes of mogg and europ

it does provide the basis for a sensible negotiation with our european union partners. clearly it's not the end state and there will be a variety of additional demands on both sides but i think it signals a sense of pragmatism and compromise which i think is in the best interests of our economy. meanwhile, in the market for smaller airliners, the sharks have been circling. bombardier‘s c series has been gobbled up by airbus and rechristened the a220. boeing responded by agreeing to take over embraer‘s commercial jet programme including this, it's new e2 design. smaller aircraft are coming back into fashion and what the big boys are bargaining on is over the next 20 years there will be more demand for highly efficient regional aircraft like this one. defence companies will be busy too and there is a large delegation from the united states. president trump has been telling european countries to spend more on defence. american businesses are more than happy to sell them what they need. and 15 years after concorde made its final flight, supersonic travel is coming back

this will increase investment and the united states and the european union. it will also make trade fair and more reciprocal, my favorite word, reciprocal. secondly, we agreed to inninghen, and strength of our strategic cooperation with respect to energy. the european 1 -- the eu wants to import more lng from the united states and they will be a very big buyer. we will make it much easier for them but they will be a massive so they can diversify their energy supply. we have plenty of it. thirdly, we agreed to launch a close dialogue on standards in order to ease trade, reduce bureaucratic obstacles, and --sh costs genetically dramatically. to join forces to protect american and european companies from better and really better than ever, we have never done this like we are doing, i can say from the standpoint of the united states, we have never done this, but we will do a lot better after we do this deal, and other deals that we are currently working on. likewise, the eu is going to do better, stronger, bigger. we will work closely together with like-minded pa

i want to have a good relationship with the european union. the united kingdom is looking for and can know gaucnegotiate relationship with the united states and around the rest of the world as well. that is what would be good for jobs, people's livelihoods, prosperity here in the uk. >> well, if you remember, i was opening turnberry, the day before brexit. we had an unbelievably large number of reporters there. because everybody was there, i guess, because of brexit. and they all showed up on the 9th hole, overlooking the ocean. and i said, what's going on? all they wanted to talk about was brexit. they asked my opinion. i think you'll agree, i said that i think brexit will happen. and it did happen. we cut the ribbon. the reason i felt it would happen is because of immigration. one of the reasons i got elected was because of immigration. i felt brexit had the upper hand. barack obama said, well, your country will have to get on the back of the line if that happened. which i thought was a terrible thing to say, frankly. but i said i thought it

likewise, the european union is going to do better. stronger, bigger. we will therefore work closely together with like-minded partners to reform the wto and to address unfair trade practices, including intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer, industrial subsidies, distortions created by state owned enterprises, and overcapacity. we decided to set up immediately an executive working group of very intelligent people, on both sides, to be our closest advisers. and they're are going to carry out this joint agenda. in addition, it will identify short-term measures to facilitate commercial exchanges and assess existing tariff measures and what we can do about that to the betterment of both. while we're working on this, we will not go against the spirit of this agreement unless either party terminates the negotiation. so, we are starting to negotiation right now. sarah: you have been watching u.s. president down trump and european commission president jean-claude juncker speaking outside the white house, that is following a meeting where the t

party because it's not a clean enough break with the european union for their liking and so for those people the knives now are now out for the prime minister if they get their way they will try to bring her down but in the meantime she's going to try and press on because up until now the european union has had no position from the british side to talk about and when she takes this plan to the european union next week i think they'll probably give her a little bit of time and they'll say to her ok sorry for all the troubles but at least finally now we have something from your side that we can start a discussion on so after all the frenzy of first thing this morning you know looks like things is time to settle a little bit the hardliners are talking about potentially a leadership challenge but not immediately and it looks like the government is now going to have a position they can take to the european union which will be the start of a negotiation that could go through the summer potentially and into october by which stage it'll become clear if they can agree or not on whether the eur

leaves the european union in a bombshell move foreign minister boris johnson resigned today dealing a blow to prime minister theresa may his departure came just hours after that of david davis the man in charge of negotiating britain's exit from the e.u. the british cabinet has been bitterly divided on how the blue forward on the brakes that strategy just on friday the prime minister should cured a hard won agreement from her cabinet today during a stormy session in parliament theresa may think the two ministers for their work but she was repeatedly interrupt. turning to mr speaker i want to pay tribute to my right elbow friends. the members. the members the men this whole surprising how to talk speech in south priceless that was i. i i i. we do not agree about the best way to differing our shared commitments to one of the results of the referendum but i want to recognize the work of the full of a sect of state exit in the european union for the work he did to establish a new car and steer and steer through parliament some of the most important legislation for generations and some of

he talks about the future in terms of her relationship with european union. we will have a fully independent defense and foreign policy but we will work with european union allies where it is right to do so as we will continue to be working with nato. he talks about how we actually ensure that we have security around the world where nato has been the backbone of europe security for the years in which it has been in place. we continue to support nato. the right honorable gentlemen has changed his mind about nato because it wasn't that long ago that he said about nato, i would rather we weren't in it and then he said when we close down nato but were not going to close down nato. the united kingdom will continue to contribute as a backbone of european security and security around the world. >> mr. speaker, matt congratulate on what was for her, a successful nato summit, but may i returned to the point of the germans i wonder if she could let us know. this has a strategic and will have a strategic effect to diminish ukraine and others to be able to support themse

we're already discussing it with the european union. they obviously forgot the question that i just ask her. >> which was about the brexit secretary support or otherwise for the convention on human rights. i don't support the human rights act. that is the is the new policy of the government. they are designed. two years of negotiations with themselves. and they want to shut down parliament for five days. they've even given up on negotiating with each other. is it the case mister speaker that the government is failing to negotiate and failing to meet the needs. it's not want to work. they will complete this question. he will not be shouted down. not today and any day. after two years negotiating with themselves. they had even given up on negotiating with each other. there failing to negotiate brexit. they are too busy prime minister. over the last week. what the right --dash right honorable gentlemen has been doing. when i was confirming that with president trump and the future of nato. you're not as well-behaved as your little baby daug

so decide look very very weak in the eyes of the european union and yeah one wonders how brussels is looking into this and the e.u. in fact lawrence but can we expect more political casualties. well you know there's every chance to love about fifty or sixty. who are real hardliners who are basically now out for blood and i think in the fullness of time they will launch a leadership challenge against a reason many if not immediately what i think could easily happen is that the reason may takes this new proposal to brussels brussels says sorry this it's no good because you want to call it cherry picking you know having your cake and eating it you want to stay in with us for the movements of goods across borders but you don't want the movements of people we in the european union say there indivisibility go and do it if they say that then to resume a i think will have to step down and in that instance then they would have to believe that your challenge anyway and that would be the point when the hardliners would put forward their man or woman to say this is it we're going to leave comple

president called the european union a phone in terms of trade. donald trump the u.s. president arrives in helsinki. and you know when trump is in town he's here to meet vladimir putin russia's president in a high profile a much anticipated summit it's the last stop on trump's european tool and like elsewhere he's been met with protests around two thousand finns turned out in helsinki to oppose the president's views. and the protesters aren't all too happy with putin's track record either what will the leaders discuss well it isn't that clear trump's administration has said they aren't looking for anything concrete i don't expect anything i frankly don't expect i go with very low expectations i think they're getting along with the russians a good thing but it's possible. the summit in helsinki is being billed more as an opportunity for the leaders to improve their report then as a chance to hammer out a new relationship but it hasn't all been plain sailing in a television interview the day before he left for helsinki trump once again rattled his european allies. asked

union not paying money in some form to the european union be controlled by the european court of justice and also controlling immigration it is very clear that she is delivering a remainer bret's it is not a true breakfast. and there audience come i know i was couldn't see there well while she was talking you could see i mean i kind of shaking your head side to side john and i do and i want to get in but i want to hear what was behind that for amanda i just and when they could remain i could like ending freedom of movement leaving the single market leaving the customs union like what leaving and still left and three times that like that is not anything to do with remaining the government of god in a massive charm offensive on this that trying to sell it as a soft because i think a compromise is going to be the only way they can get people around this like the stuff leavers the soft remain isn't that what they need because currently three of my just doesn't have a parliamentary majority condor for anything but definitely any form of deal that's controversial so when you're leaving a singl

union the strategy to leave the european union at the heart of this crisis let's get the view from europe now on this and we're joined by the former swedish prime minister cabell taze via skype from stockholm thank you very much for speaking to us so how is europe a saving this crisis in britain right now we may spend deeper already because the u.k.'s in the turmoil that we now see in london which was to some extent unavoidable because of the inability of the british government to come up with vision earlier it is because of worrying the clock is ticking there is a need to have an agreement on the terms of the united kingdom within a hundred days and there are quite a number of complex issues that the sort that out there with the turmoil in the chaos in london that becomes even more than it is right now a viable negotiating partner as far as brussels is concerned and well at the moment it doesn't look like that is off to new because it clearly going to take some time to sort out the issues in london. but we do see there is a problem is the white paper from the government on thursday and t

for me, the most important thing is we leave the european union. i imagine many of the leading luminaries of brexit and the cabinet feel that they are going to do a betterjob delivering that inside and out. you cannot help but feel this is what democracy looks like. the tory cabinet locked up in a country house with theresa may in the room, nobody leaves this room until i have identified the murderer, and their phones are confiscated. which isjust like the closed—door meetings in brussels that everyone complains about. we don't know how decisions are being made. just as well it wasn't like a re—enactment of a round of cluedo. if they can raise their sights above the brexit skyline this weekend, cabinet ministers may be asking what donald trump may yet do to the western alliance. on wednesday and thursday, the us president will be at nato headquarters. he's certain to repeat his complaint about how little europeans spend on their own defence. indeed, his defence secretary jim mattis, a former marine commander, wrote to britain's gavin williamson

to leave the european union, to take back control our money and boards. that's what our plan delivers, and as he says, let's work together and deliver for the british people. .. i am delighted to be in my place to ask the prime minister. [inaudible] so, to business. with the prime minister agree that the government's attempt to expand capacity in nhs, where there would be capacity to build an extra floor should be prioritized for expansion ahead of building simply a new hospital and a much greater cost and the private nhs of the much-needed investment which should go into patients and staffing. >> here, here. >> and i first of all say to the honorable lady how very good it is to see her in her place and i know from the response that is the view shared across the whole of this town purge he has raised an issue, obviously she would know we are putting that extra funding into the national health service. we will have something available not just to build sites but to improve existing facilities across the country. i understand they have made proposals around

back refugees who had been registered in those countries when they first entered the european union that is the absolute core of this conflict. just outlined and the chancellor basically has been saying all along and continues to say today that she does not willing to she is not willing to see germany go it alone on this issue that such a turning back of refugees can only be effective if it is agreed upon with other european union members and she feels and most of her party leadership do also seem to feel that she came a good step further in achieving that kind of multilateral agreement this past week so solidarity here right now with the chancellor. all right and now if we assume that same over a dozen decide to step down over this just briefly if you can what would this mean . well it would create more political uncertainty it would certainly not be the direct so down seeing her having to fire him but if he seeks to do this by himself he could be leave more on his own terms but it still leaves the governing coalition and the c.d.c.'s you with a very uncertain situation and the cha

terrorism may our prime minister to sue the european union indeed he said many times he doesn't think that you should continue to exist he doesn't like i want you to know it really depends on the point of view because you can make an argument that he actually trust the institution of courts and he believes that judges will be able to make the best judgment i mean coming from russia you know what people mostly distrust our court system that is actually you know kind of you know a sign of respect but nevertheless you mentioned he's a slogan america first and i think in order to discuss it in a serious detail we really really have to contend the issue of nationalism and what strikes me about nationalism is that for many in europe it is quite clearly a pejorative term and we all understand why it is a bridge or a deterrent but for many. you know in other parts of the world in the united states even more so in russia it is actually a positive term do you think people in europe and the leadership in europe actually understand that not everybody shares dire conception of nationalism and thei

called the european union a foe. that conclusion was bracketed by his comments upon his arrival in europe when he announced that his meeting with putin was going to be a whole lot easier than his meetings were going to be with europe. let's be clear about two things here. first, europe is our most important friend and ally, and it's been that way for a really long time and nothing's changed. over the last 70 years when we need help in the world, you know where the first place in the world we turn to is? europe. it shares our democratic values. they're our most important trading partner. the post-world war ii order which is ushered in an era of relative global stability never before seen in the world is reliant on the continued alliance of the united states and europe. now, we have always had our grievances. we may want them to spend a little more money on defense. they may want us to shoulder a little bit of the burden with respect for the world's refugee crisis and not leave it all for them. but the alliance is just

mrs merkel will stick to the negotiation line of the european union agreed by 27 nations and the european parliament and commission and therefore mrs may will understand the negotiations in future, where it might be easier to find an agreement. i don't want to sound cynical but if you look at the broad outline of mrs may's plan, she was to maintain frictionless, free trade in goods, playing by the eu rulebook as she says. but she doesn't expect the same, for example, from services, including financial services. i can't imagine an arrangement more likely to please you lot in germany. it means your car manufacturers for example continue unfettered trade exports to the very big market in the uk, while your financial services sector in frankfurt can expect to pick up a great deal of business from the city of london because there is no deal on services. it strikes me that this isa on services. it strikes me that this is a deal that germany might as well have written itself. financial services are mostly not in free trade agreements. also with canada, not. therefore it is wise to make the diffe

and nineteen as we leave the european union we will be delivering on what people voted for an end to free movement an end to sending vast amounts of money to the european union every year and to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice here in the united kingdom coming out of the common fisheries policy coming out of the common agricultural policy and ensuring by coming out of the customs union that we can have an independent trade policy that enables us to negotiate trade deals with the united states and with other countries around the rest of the world that's what the british people voted for and that's what we will be delivering we will deliver it in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and meets our commitment to the border between northern ireland and our land and robert. hope boris the president. they said unrelated not related to we have the tape you could ask sarah get it from sarah and we taped the entire interview they asked about boris johnson said yes they have how would he be as a prime minister to be a great prime minister he's been very nice to me he's bee

losing the gate function through the european union. there will be less toyota, less american companies, also bmw and others taken away. jaguar already has said that. it would be a disastrous development for the united kingdom. brexit is bad for both of us. but it is worse for the uk. let's try to make the damage as low as possible, that should be the duty of these negotiations. a final point on brexit and then i want to move on to important matters. this final point is quite simple. there are people in the uk today he'll look at the parliamentary arithmetic in westminster and say there is no pathway, no democratic pathway through parliament to get any form of brexit through, whether it is hard, soft or indeed no brexit. the political situation here is in stalemate. in those circumstances, some are saying we should actually appeal to the eu to suspend the article 50 deadline. is it possible, do you think, from europe's point of view that article 50 and the deadline could be suspended? look, the two years have reason, to put pressure on

|j britain can disentangle itself from the european union? i do think there are problems with the customs arrangement internally, i don't think it's going to work, i don't think it's going to work, i don't think he irish are going to be able to handle that. getting back to washington, well, nothing seems to move washington, well, nothing seems to [ti ove very washington, well, nothing seems to move very quickly in the american congress these days. britain does have a favoured emotional place in the hearts of americans. i don't think the democrats would be against it in orderjust too bothered donald trump. but i think all these trade deals get negotiated in a very micro level and if you want correlated chicken and gm foods to come, you better get ready for that —— chlorinated chicken. it is not going to be what the uk is all that interested in. alex predicted last week correctly there would not be any resignations and we had all this lovely theatre that was organised by downing street, providing taxi cab numbers as ministers would lose the

of the role of the european courts when it comes to trade agreements with of the european union however what we may see is that this may lead to a sort of springboard as now that the brig's it is on the longer. cabinet right now we can expect to see some reason made a move towards a soft drugs that move towards a broken there's less. separatists in the e.u. that will and will also see that the negotiations take a less hostile turn as what aware of the fact they've in davis and boris johnson were very aggressive in the wording they used and were in some cases almost insults in the way they treated us only the european. the individual nation states good to get your thoughts on this really hurts thank you very much indeed give me ok in the coming hours u.s. president donald trump is due to announce his nominee to replace retiring supreme court justice anthony kennedy is decision will probably swing the highest court in the u.s. firmly to the rights of the supreme court has the final say on matters ranging from the validity of controversial laws disputes between federal and state authoritie

while politicians in the european union try to find ways to stem migration and boost border security a new refugee crisis is building in syria intense fighting in the syrian city of the raw has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes and neighboring jordan which has already taken hundreds of thousands of people from syria says it cannot cope with any more refugees and abuse tanya kramer reports tonight from the go on heights where the build up of syrians displaced by the fighting is growing. more and more tense and makeshift homes are being set up near this village on the syrian side of the golan heights over eleven thousand syrians are said to have reached the area near the fence to the israeli occupied golan heights the assad regime has launched a massive offensive in nearby province shown here an unverified social media footage thousands of syrians have been driven out of their homes since mid june the area in syria's south west is one of the few remaining opposition strongholds it's a sensitive area because of its proximity to israel right behind me on the syrian s

the prize is delivering leaving the european union. some long—standing leave campaigners say they won't vote down the government's brexit legislation entirely, but they are determined to give it a radical overhaul. brexit is enormously positive, a huge opportunity for the country, and i'm afraid the prime minister doesn't see that. and it's why i think she is a remainer who has remained a remainer. so would labour help the prime minister out and back her brexit plan? i've read it a couple of times, and quite frankly can't make head nor tail of it. it's theological. it's a mess. so the answer to the question is fairly simply, not that i can see. and the political fallout from chequers continues. today a parliamentary aide at the foreign office resigned over brexit. it's still not clear if the prime minister's new plan will survive intact. let's get some of the day's other news. a 55 year old man is due to appear in court on monday morning after an incident in which a paraglider breached a no—fly zone around president trump's locatio

human union member countries many of which are on the external boundaries of the european union and which she had essentially been requesting to declare their willingness to take back refugees who had already been registered in their countries that in essence has been the core of this conflict the interior minister horsy hofer saying that he will proceed unilaterally to send refugees back to those countries the first registry if if essentially the european union member states couldn't get some forward movement at this summit so basically c.d.u. leadership saying in the past days look we got that movement we have seen some real achievements here and certainly unilateral action is not the right path at the moment so at the moment there's a lot of sarod solidarity with the chancellor's position here in the building in back of me. ok and there are of course all their parts as well mckayla that could be taken if we assume for example let's say who for is going to step back what would that mean. well that would raise yet more questions of who will really be at the helm here in the very en

there are purists who interpret the acquis of the european union, the legislation of the european union, and then there is the european council who from time to time can compromise and move. can you see a scenario in the coming months as we come to the deadline, where the leaders are prepared to compromise because there has been no compromise so far. it depends on the proposal which will be made by the uk authorities because there is no compromise because we have not got the position of the uk government. so we need to have a common position, we have a position and a proposal from uk government to the commission. and after, we can find a compromise if it is acceptable for the european commission, it is the legal framework of europe, it's very clear. in just under a8 hours the american president will be arriving in the uk for a two day visit. shorter and less grand that was perhaps first anticipated. before he left washington he told reporters he had "a very good relationship" with theresa may. but maybe he has a better one with borisjohnson. so i have nato, i have the uk which is in som

now that the european union has hit back against u.s. president donald trump with tariffs of its own, companies like attack daniels are forced to make sacrifices that could hurt their bottom line. i am in lynchburg, tennessee, home to jack daniels, the top was he exporter in the united states. they said they plan to increase their prices for consumers in the european union, and they are worried that people choosing what to drink will forgo the expensive american products and pick something cheaper. tennessee strongly backed trump in the 2016 elections. that is likely the reason that distilleries here are feeling the brunt of your's was -- europe's response. as brusels turns up the pressure on places the republican party needs to an upcoming elections. now the few hundred residents of lynch for cap found themselves in the center of an international trade dispute. >> if the tariff situation is going to affect the bottom dollar of jack daniels getting the product anywhere outside of tennessee or outside of the united states, that would rais

union, a close friendship and strong trade relations in which both of us will win. >> the european union will increase soybeans and oil and natural gas. >>> on the hill, mike pompeo assured skeptical lawmakers that president trump stood up to president putin during the helsinki summit. >> i notice that you're not respondsing to what i'm saying. >> reporter: senators pressed secretary of state mike pompeo about what happened in helsinki, and later -- >> are you 100% confident you know everything that president trump discussed with president putin? >> i'm very confident i received a debriefing. >> reporter: he repeatedly repeated. >> what is it that causes the president to purposely, purposely create distrust within the unions? >> reporter: he insists that they drew a hard line on u.s. meddling. >> i personally vow that there will be severe konsz kwenss. >> reporter: he also said he's in intense negotiations with north korea. >> i'm very confident that north korea understands our definition of denuclearization. >> reporter: but by the end of the day, there was little satisfaction especiall

and she's the strongest leader in the european union and because of the e.u. leaders have been so weak and because how has talked to by default assumed this leadership . in her decade of being chancellor angela merkel has shown many faces hesitant indecisive lacking courage. then she became the crisis manager and europe's cold hearted treasurer old german clichés of german dominance started to reawaken. when refugees began arriving her image changed again overnight merkel became the beacon of hope for people in need. she would feel in government two and a half years later in the german bundestag obeid feel an old europe faces a number of challenges how to deal with migration could become the one that decides the fate of the european union when. germany once so reliable has started to falter old sir. mts are disappearing for on the american tour for years she tried to wrestle vladimir putin into a solution for the crimean peninsula and ukraine with the arrival of donald trump her transatlantic partner in the white house has become an unpredictable opponent tho

union truck doesn't believe there should be a european union it is with canada and mexico trump doesn't believe there should be a north american free trade area it is with the pacific no trans-pacific partnership in other words the united states is not america first here it is trumps america alone against everyone else and that is a rogue approach that can cause nothing but harm to america and other countries as well so what are the implications good of all of this for other institutions that came into being at the end of the second will bretton woods institutions need to. this is the greatest crisis since one thousand nine hundred five let's just say this point blank is greater than the crises we faced over the duration of the cold war it is certainly greater than the post cold war challenges that we faced because every institution political economic social is under threat you refer to nato for example in a few days' time donald trump will go to the nato summit having said that nato is obsolete having said it privately a couple of weeks ago to european leaders that he thinks nato shoul

how little can we deviate from the european union?" the prime minister has described this as a principled and practical set of proposals. it has been a long slog to get to this point that even now the reason may knows she can't please everyone in her own party when it comes to brexit. to that will be fights to come over the details of this plan with conservative mps and with the european union. we will stop sending vast contributions to the eu every year, we will ensure the european court of justice does not have jurisdiction in the uk any longer and we will ensure we bring an end to free movement, that are guaranteed not to be negotiated, free movement will end. expect talk of breakdowns and breakthroughs in the months ahead, the government white paper is the starting point for negotiations with the eu, ministers will hold the plan is not written off too soon. our chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster for us now. we saw some of the reaction to these plans in that piece but more broadly speaking how have they gone

countries within the european union and i think the president said earlier in response to a question about future meet a meeting he was going to have that he tell you what was happening after that meeting and we will see what comes out from the european union and while we were a member of the because we still are until the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen and then we're leaving. thank you very much like you. lengthy news conference we've got about forty five minutes or so of president trump and to resume a talking to reporters after their talks at checkers the prime minister's country residence there an awful lot said like a funny somber tone in their opening statements that largely focusing on what happened at the nato summit and future global security there and i guess the reason why they're probably striking a somber tone as they knew what was to come and that was reporters were bound to pick up. on what was reported in the sun newspaper in britain the smalling and an interview donald trump gave to them after the nato summit where he appeared to criticize to resume
