and the future of the european union. but once again, i can only repeat what i heard from the experts — that we are repeating and copying the solutions which exist everywhere in many countries of the european union. all right. one thing that you do look at is this issue of refugees. and injune, the european commission, again, launched an eu law infringement procedure against poland, because you're refusing to take in refugees, as part of an eu—wide quota system. why should poland be exempt from this? we disagree with the commission about the mechanics of so—called relocation, because it's — decisions are taken against international treaties, european treaties, against international and european law. it's euphemistic to say "relocation" because, in fact, this is resettlement by force of people who do not want to be resettled to a country like poland. so we disagree with the commission. the second problem is that we do already have a large number of migrants coming from the eastern part of europe. 0nly last year, we

you have angered the european union. the european commission has announced legal action against the polish government. it is citing acute concern about the independence of the polish courts, which it says will be undermined. so what are you going to do about that? you have been invited for talks with the european commission. are you going to discuss and amended the proposals, watered down? what is going to happen? yes, we engage win a dialogue with commission. —— we engaged in a dialogue. we are patient, and patiently, we are trying to discuss and inform the commission about the process. the process is going on, as you mentioned, even with some legal action of the parliament having been stopped by the president. so there isa stopped by the president. so there is a cellino time for the commission to interfere in this situation. —— so there is absolutely. i don't see any legal excuse for the commission to be engaged right now. we will exchange letters and opinions with people like mr tillmans, but i don't see reaso

they're very they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued boy european union. gratian for example but of course the opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve you know the potential collapse of the spanish banks and so forth the poles are going to have to just scream in the courts along with everybody else and not many people in western europe are not going to take them a serious is they take themselves and our poll is not exactly an economic miller in the european union when britain was told it would have to put up or shut up we ended up with it could poland end up that same way that. it's possible that if it goes ahead as it looks as if it will that all the other countries will start to think about well maybe that in the european union of course the poles are still got their own currency the they could pursue an independent policy i mean in many ways they shouldn't of russia join the european union in the north sea knowing to sit. taking that saw and they could get it got a much better deal for many of these countries to join the european union as soon

is it a cce pta ble european union. —— payments. is it acceptable to you 7 european union. —— payments. is it acceptable to you? remember that it was a narrow result. 52 % voted to leave, 48% voted to stay. the best system would leave in place of our existing arrangements. what ever we end up with will go too far for some, not far enough others, we should try to build a consensus that is suitable for most of the 48% and most of the 52%. part of that is remaining part of these various programmes, where they are in everybody‘s interest. programmes, where they are in everybody's interest. what about the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice for a transitional period? no, we're working an arbitration mechanism such as other non—eu countries in this part of the world have, like the swiss or the norwegians, we can have mutual applicability of each other‘s judgements, and an arbitration mechanism that makes both the use of the ec] and the other party. that sounds very complicated.” the ec] and the other party. that sound

the european court of justice across the european union. the european court ofjustice is the bedrock of all eu institutions. its reach is extensive. ministers promised today to end specifically the directjurisdiction of the court. that has punted claims of a climb—down. court. that has punted claims of a climb-down. pragmatism has won out. the prime minister's earlier position making this a red line was always impractical. now we're moving toa always impractical. now we're moving to a sensible position. indeed we said at the time this is where we would have two and up to have a compromise. the prime minister is recognising there will be a role for the european court, whether it's in relation to the withdrawal agreement, the transition period or even post brexit in terms of the ecj law, the european law we have incorporated into uk law. restoring the sovereignty of our place —— this place, our parliament deciding our laws, was one of the key promises of the leave campaign. it goes to the heart of what brexit means. any suggestion europ

i think ultimately the european union does its credibility as corrupt as crumbling and we saw how to use greece to try to punish greece and it's still punishing greece a decade after the the crossest began there you you've seen it trying to punish the you punish britain for this even discussing leaving all the sides of punishment actually brings up because of the growth of the berlin wall and saying don't leave or will shoot you it is not the sign of a successful union people should be actually clamoring to get in because of its success they should be realizing its own failure and seeing one of the three do wrong in the first instance the lead to this outcome and the real thing they did wrong was to have a contractionary pact driving the european union rather than a growth pact steve thanks for coming on r.t. we appreciate you taking the time and giving is your friend thought steve king professor of economics at kingston university. now another use more than six hundred civilians are likely to have been killed in coalition air strikes in iraq and syria since operation inherent resolv

of the european union campaigned on. yet, the government said this week it may not be quite so straightforward to free us from the european court ofjustice after all. when the negotiators reconvene in a few days‘ time after their summer break, they'll have before them a series of position papers from the british team to absorb, on subjects including immigration, the irish border and the court. eunice, have the europeans been impressed 7 well, they have been somehow optimistic about a sudden outbreak of realism from the british government. on the other hand, these position papers were strange because they were dismal position papers without positions, just kind of scenarios and the british government has no position. but there are some signs of well, realism, in the sense that the british government is ready to continue to contribute to the budget of the european union for as long as it is a member of the eu. there has also been movement, welcome movement in the area of the authority of the european court of justice, an

citizens, so the status of european citizens has not yet been sorted, and the european union and britain have not yet agreed about the process of the negotiations. the european union would like to start with finding a solution for the budget, and the status of european citizens, and the irish border, and the british government wants to negotiate the future of the relationship. this business of the irish border is interesting, because one of the things that britain was talking about in that context was how goods and people and services might be traded across the border once britain is out of the european union, and, of course, the republic of ireland remains in because there is that land border. and the europeans said, we are not talking about that because it is about the trade relationship. in a sense, their distinction is artificial, and we must talk about the divorce before we talk about what comes after. let's not pretend either side is a paragon of virtue in this discussion. both sides are perhaps also trying to stake out maximalist positions, which is part and parcel of the negotiat

coming out of the european union. coming out of the european union. coming out of the european union and that you would have an open border is nonsense, it isa have an open border is nonsense, it is a fantasy. what we will have is a border and a border between the north of ireland and the european union and britain. that is a com pletely u na cce pta ble union and britain. that is a completely unacceptable thing which will be a eu frontier. it is incompatible with many of the agreements of the good friday agreement. there is no good brexit for ireland, there is no eu frontier for ireland, there is no eu frontier for ireland. to suggest that there will be no suggestions of the movement of goods and people is a nonsense. what about norway and sweden? that as an example of where there is a border where one country is in the european union and one is out. that works well. what would work perfectly well is that the british government recognises that the majority of the people in northern ireland recognises that the majority voted to stay. we want special s

this week, we discuss the latest uk proposals for leaving the european union. we look at india, 70 years after independence. and we ask, is there really a crisis in donald trump's white house? my guests today are... the writer and political commentator adam raphael. stephanie baker, senior writer and chief global business correspondent at bloomberg news. london correspondent for le point and le soir, marc roche. and columnist for the national, and the arab weekly, rashmee roshan lall. welcome to you all. we will talk shortly about those brexit proposals. let's start though this week with a word about the terrorist attacks in spain, which killed 1a people in two cities and injured many more. adam and marc, your response to yet another attack in europe. a similar modus operandi from the past. yes, what can i say? it is a second—generation, young men committing these things, obviously radicalised, alienated, not surprisingly it happened in barcelona. it was obviously going to be a key target. there are rumours of a cia warning to spain, we do not know if they ar

the europeans, all 27 nation state still in the european union, and wishing to stay in it, they have their own take and concerns in this. it is interesting that european politicians seem to be feeling that the process is not working, starting with the negotiators themselves, who left negotiations at the end ofjuly, expressing deep frustration with what they believed was the "lack of preparedness" from the uk's side. i don't recognise that description. i think the government is now making public what was in its private negotiating positions up until now, and they are very sensible, moderate proposals on how to maintain judicial cooperation, how to ensure mutual recognition of goods and services, how to avoid a hard border in ireland, practical proposals on customs, and so on. but stephen, i don't really buy that this is a win—lose operation, that where we have our desires, and the 27 theirs. it is plainly in britain's interests for the eu 27 to prosper. these countries are our friends, our allies, and our trading partners. it would not be in our interest, for example, for brexit to

unity whether or not we are in the european union or not. course we won't be but yeah the far right is on the rise in many countries and it's very important the sort of economic divisions don't play out in the way that they have in the past leading to political divisions and eventually war and bear in mind where you know europe is the most wall to you know historically most walked on part of the wealth in history so we should at all peril devalue the peace that has reigned in europe over the last sixty years what do you think they're waging this is the platform to have this kind of discussion a big public events like this are we going to see more of this people kind of hijacking this stage a major events and making what tantamount to political speeches as they try to affect the shaping of bragg's. i think that's inevitable. and actually that is that is a healthy thing it's a healthy part of our democracy democracy isn't limited to one vote on one particular day and i think the. future is best off within the european union do have a right to

i mean, membership in the european union was one of them too, you know, that the european union seemed to sort of crystallize that modern european openness. but, of course, it did so at the, at the price of reducing the democratic voice. now, you know, as i was saying, a lot of somewheres have stopped vote anything the elections because they felt -- voting in the election because they felt so many of the things that affected their lives were imposed from the outside without any -- i think one of the key differences here, actually, is, you know, the way in which, you know, in trade negotiations, you know, global -- all of these kinds of global negotiations, anywheres, starting the assumption of anywheres is that some sort of deal to further open up trade and goods services and so on and, indeed, movement of people must inherently be a good thing and that we have to come together. this is more of a european argument, we have to come together in europe to kind of negotiate and to protect ourselves from, you know, from the kind of global bond markets. and, but i think to non-elites, elites

this week, we discuss the latest uk proposals for leaving the european union. we'll look at india, 70 years since independence. and we ask, is there really a crisis in donald trump's white house? my guests today are the writer and political commentator adam raphael. stephanie baker, senior writer with bloomberg news. london correspondent for le point and le soir, marc roche. and columnist for the national and the arab weekly, rashmee roshan lall. a warm welcome to you all. we will talk shortly about those brexit proposals. let's start though this week with a word about the two terrorist attacks in spain, which killed 1a people in two cities and injured many more. let's reflect on the events of a grim few days. adam, your thoughts about yet another attack in europe, a similar modus operandi from the past too? yes, what can one say? there are rumours of a cia warning to spain, we don't know if they are true or not but in a place like las ramblas, there is clearly a potential target there and it surprises me that a vehicle was able to drive for 500 metres down las

union, wanting to have also a special trade relationship with the european union, wanting to replicate the customs union. the noises pointed to a kind of fudge that suggests membership the single murky, but this happens at the same time when the home office sends deportation letters to european citizens, so the status of european citizens, so the status of european citizens has not been sorted, and of course the european union and britain have not agreed about the process of the negotiations. the eu would like to start with finding a solution about the budget, the status of european citizens, and the irish border. the british government wa nts to irish border. the british government wants to negotiate the future of the relationship. the irish border is interesting because one of the things that britain must think about in that context was how goods and people and services might be traded across the border once britain is out of the european union and the republic of ireland remains and the customers that land border. the europeans said we're not talking about that because that is the r

when we leave the european union, we will leave the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. the home office admits sending letters to some eu citizens in the uk, wrongly telling them that a decision had been made to deport them. when i opened this, i could not believe my eyes. seeing words like "a decision has now been taken to remove you from the united kingdom". as the 20th anniversary of princess diana's death approaches, prince harry talks to the bbc about the night of that fatal car crash. she'd had quite a severe head injury, but she was very much still alive on the back—seat, and those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs of her dying on the back—seat. photographs of her dying on the back-seat. regional leaders meet in leeds to demand the same investment in transport links as in london. also in the next hour, flooding in northern ireland. firefighters rescued 93 people who were trapped in cars or houses after heavy rainfall last night. and england pulse nightclub goal—scorer wayne rooney announces he is retiring from inter

we will just see how the european union develops. take decisions based on but now let me switch gears a little bit i know that you are slated to mitzvot the russian president vladimir putin soon and he is somebody who enjoys fairly high ratings in this country but not as high as yours because the latest poll i saw in december two thousand and sixteen put it at ninety seven percent which i think is unprecedented not only for iceland but pretty much for any other developed nation how do you explain that. why why. not thinking about it i think because if i start thinking about it then i will. sight of what it is i want to do i want to do this job well i don't want to think about what do the people want me to say how can i maintain my popularity but this is a very serious question because in this day and age people on much more likely to be disillusioned with politicized down to like them and that i guess speaks about your ability to you keep things relevant to keep them engaged in politics and this is a an important skill that perhaps s

this week the committee for exiting the european union will set out a commission paper which will go through in some detail about firstly how the border with northern ireland and the republic of ireland will work. this is one of the first issues that has to be negotiated by david davis, the brexit secretary, and his team. and eu officials in brussels. it has proved a sticking point so far. there has been some frustration from the eu side that the british comment has not been clear enough. this will set out the government's plan and there is talk of perhaps a showing in style zone within the republic of ireland and great britain, where people are able to move between those countries free but not to the rest of the european union, because of course freedom of movement will end. some interesting comments in the paper today from david miliband, the defeat at —— defeated labour leadership contender? the government that's right, former foreign secretary and one—time labour leadership contender. he is saying in quite strong terms that the vote to leave the european union was an unpara

the law and of course the solution themselves from the big players in the european union specifically the germans in the french of course they resent they felicitous all the germans and the french and so on they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued by the european union. of the migration for example but of course the your opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve. the poles may dislike the european union but they get an awful lot of money from them if they leave the bloc than the left to find the money from somewhere else. well to get in touch and tell us what you think about the day's stories by following us on facebook and twitter you can catch me again at the top of the hour with more news but if you can't wait until then you can check out our website at r.t. dot com. but it was opposed to some of us it was a. bit of. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. were they just. it's a very we have made a film on. i mean they they have insisted. for me. i. don't know. they don't make or. break. i'm afshin rattansi we're going on the ground

leaving the european union will mean that oui’ the european union will mean that our laws will be made in westminster, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast. and those laws will be interpreted byjudges not in luxembourg but in courts across this country. and so today proposals for a new way forward, new arrangements for policing our future a new way forward, new arrangements for policing ourfuture relationship with the eu. what we have done today isissue with the eu. what we have done today is issue a paper which is in of ways in which it will be possible to resolve disputes. what businesses wa nt to resolve disputes. what businesses want to know is that in future relationships if a dispute arises, how will it be possible to resolve that? we are very clear we won't have that jurisdiction that? we are very clear we won't have thatjurisdiction of the european court of justice, have thatjurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, we will put in place arrangements to ensure that businesses have the confidence of knowing they can continue to trade across the european union. the european court of

union when these sanctions or if these sanctions come into being the european union could decide to impose sanctions of their own on the united states now this could take the form of e.u. . bank suspending u.s. company's ability to take out short term loans but let's be realistic this would be a nuclear option for more on this let's go to former u.s. diplomat jim jatra soo nice to have you on leaders today and tonight first of all are these sanctions internationally legal. short answer is i don't know it seems to me that we can certainly govern how our own companies act and if we say you can't do business with us european company and they do business with the russians i suppose that's legal but most clearly companies are multinational with as they are all their global companies look at the size of these companies that are really thrown up the red flag on this and if they're illegal or to be challenged is internationally illegal what would be the platform to to do that there is no recourse really i mean look at the united states has not been particularly fastidious about extraterrito

when we leave the european union, we will be leaving the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. what we will be able to do is to make our own laws, parliament will make our laws, it is britishjudges who will interpret those laws, and it will be the british supreme court who will be the ultimate arbiter of those laws. a cyclist who killed a woman on the road has been cleared of manslaughter, but convicted of a lesser charge. the husband of kim briggs has now called for a change in the law, and paid this tribute. for us to remember kim, not through the lens of this trail, but for being the beautiful, fun—loving woman who adored her children. a man has beenjailed for 18 years after trying to smuggle a pipe bomb onto a plane at manchester airport. princes william and harry have been speaking of the days following the death of their mother, princess diana, and the role of the paparazzi in the car crash. she had quite a severe head injury but was very much still live on the back seat and those people that caused the accident... also on the programme, in the next hour we'll be live

economy but not all of the european union and your problem of not being the member of the european union. far the governments in iceland have seen it beneficial to be beneficial for the european when they're going to get real just like norway switzerland the story of norway ambition is done and as long as there is the majority in parliament and. a substantial part of the population is behind that then we're doing fine. trump has many fans among the sort of euro skeptic camp and euro skepticism is this new scary new europe many people in europe are genuinely afraid that it may on to mine european unity and. i may be mistaken but it seems to me that iceland was relatively you were skeptic even before that word came into fashion. do you think your skepticism is as scary as it is painted out to be. iceland. throughout the twentieth century. dependent to a large degree on fishing and it was always the conclusion of. politicians the authorities in iceland. was to a large degree the reason why iceland true might be a member of the european union and the european union is in a state of flux no.

union and so having with the european union and so far, they have said no, sorry guys, we have to make progress on things like the financial settlement and citizen rights before that so the government is trying to push that debates all aired. isn't it a bit embarrassing when so many top petitions have said we're not paying a penny to leave? it does seem some parts of government say one thing and other parts say another thing. didn't borisjohnson and other parts say another thing. didn't boris johnson said and other parts say another thing. didn't borisjohnson said they and other parts say another thing. didn't boris johnson said they could go whistle? yes, but that was a extortionate amount. you surely ought to object to paying anything but it seems to me, we're talking about 10 billion euros, which sounds perfectly reasonable to me. this is terribly embarrassing and terrible television but i agree. i do think it's important as the brexiter that we do have a good relationship with the european union when we leave and i see there will be a transition period between march 2019 and when t

when we leave the european union, we will be leaving the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. what we will be able to do is to make our own laws, parliament will make our laws, it is britishjudges who will interpret those laws, and it will be the british supreme court who will be the ultimate arbiter of those laws. we'll have the latest on the government proposals — and ask what the impact could be on uk citizens. the other main stories on bbc news at five. a cyclist, charlie alliston, is cleared of manslaughter, after he knocked down a pedestrian who later died from her injuries — he was found guilty of a lesser charge. president trump launches a lengthy tirade against the media — saying mostjournalists are bad people who hate america. princes william and harry speak of the days following the death of their mother, princess diana — and the role of the paparazzi. she had a severe head injury but was very much alive on the back seat and those people that caused the accident instead of hoping they were taking photographs of her dying on the back she had a severe head in

the line of course the isolation themselves from the big players in the european union specifically the journals in the french of course they resent they feel as if they talk down to all the germans and the french and so on they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued by the european union. the migration for example but of course the opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve you know. the poles may dislike the european union but they get an awful lot of money from them and if they leave the bloc then the law to find the money from somewhere else well i'll be back in about thirty minutes with all the top headlines in the meantime sarah's so your thoughts on the day's stories by getting in touch with us on twitter and facebook. with more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. still. or you leave. the world. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught

it is important to note that are members of the single market who are not in the european union, like norway, and lichtenstein. if you look at turkey, they have a customs union arrangement with the eu but they are not in it. people tend to focus, and your right to raise it, on freedom of movement but actually the whole description of freedom of movement is rather misleading because it is not unconditional, it is conditional. at the moment, if we wa nted conditional. at the moment, if we wanted to restrict the way free movement of roads, we could, but we choose not to. if you have been in oui’ choose not to. if you have been in our country for three months and do not have a job, have no prospect of ajob, not have a job, have no prospect of a job, you not have a job, have no prospect of ajob, you can not have a job, have no prospect of a job, you can be removed. but we choose not to do that. so there are things we can do to restrict the way free movement operates. so just to clarify, if come as would be your preference, we ended up staying in the customs union and single market, do yo

union which are fairly concerned about competition and a statement on tuesday the european commission said the commission has pulmonary concerns of the proposed acquisition could reduce competition in a number of different markets resulting in higher prices lower quality less choice and less innovation in response to that the germany based buyer issued a statement saying buyer looks forward to continuing to work constructively with the commission with a view to obtaining the commission's approval while it throws another wrench into buyers plan the commission's latest statement doesn't come as a surprise in fact plenty of other companies in the agro chemical sector have had to make some sacrifices to finalize deals dow was only able to acquire dupont after promising to sell research and other assets and kemp china had to sell off parts of a subsidiary and some of its businesses to get the commissions approval to take over syngenta in order to get the blessing of south african regulators buyer offered to sell its liberty crop chemical and seed that resists its plant killing effect so fa

and look to the arrangements that we can put in place when we've left the european union. japan wants the unpolished truth from theresa may about how she sees britain's new relationship with the eu working out. but there is much, beyond tea, japan and britain have in common. and the japanese prime minister shinzo abe has also indicated his readiness to do a new trade deal with the uk after we have left the eu. theresa may is keen to convey the uk's respect forjapan during this three—day visit to a country that's the world's third largest economy and has been for three decades a huge investor in britain. from car plants through manufacturing and banking. japan has also really valued the uk's position as a gateway into eu markets and now there is real concern here about the disruption that brexit could bring. some ofjapan‘s banks for instance are worried their access to eu markets could suffer if brexit backfires. some financial institutions have announced that they are prepared to move a certain number of operations and jobs from london to the european continent to reta

there will be trade—offs, for some people who want to leave the european union it is fine, there will be trade—offs. some people will be worse off in some ways but better off in other ways. but at least let the people know. uk government is going to be trusted enough to be not thought of as giving alternative facts. brexit will take place at the end of the day. i love the idea that marc says that all 27 are wonderful. it is for the birds, you wait, the divisions are not good. that is the typical british idea. we are united to resist the british proposal. you might be right on that. to return to the specific point of ireland which is what the position paper was about. stephanie is correct to say that this is one of the greatest areas in the negotiations, isn't it? and it ties of the problem of britain wanting to bring down emigration but if you do not have a ha rd emigration but if you do not have a hard border it could be risky in terms of people smuggling, all important issues. yes, there could be the problem that we will have a frontier that is fluid and not well policed because y

a quarter of the workforce are european union nationals, non uk. i employ a mixture of graduate engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, electricians and roofers, physically installing the system that we design. of the engineering team, all graduates, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering graduates, about 60% of those are from other eu member countries. basically, without them i cannot run the business. do not forget, 75% of my workforce are uk nationals. but without the highly skilled contribution that idea from the graduate engineering team, i cannot run the business. we cannot design the system that we actually installed. why can't other british people not do the rest of that 25%? strangely, this country has four long time, it would seem, does not train enough graduate electrical and mechanical engineers. the university courses are there, but they do not seem courses are there, but they do not seem to get the students. seeming to brazil to study what are perceived as less difficult subjects. w

this, in many ways, is a test of the european union in terms of how it protects small member states, which is exactly what it needs to do here in the context of the consequences of brexit for ireland. in your statement today, you said you would be realistic and fair, but, "we will also be stubborn in relation to defending irish interests." if you were in a situation where a hard border was favoured by your fellow members, i presume you would be stubborn then in vetoing it, that is what i am testing, your resolve. i don't think we will be in that place, because the eu has already shown a willingness to show real flexibility to try to accommodate what are very real vulnerabilities for ireland in the context of brexit — and britain also in the context of northern ireland. and so we need to work this out and find the political solution is that, in my view, effectively allows northern ireland to become an extension of the eu customs union, to create equivalence north and south of the border that can allow the free movement not only of people but also of goods. we also need to find a sol
