did they see this speech by borisjohnson really speeches. did they see this speech by boris johnson really about speeches. did they see this speech by borisjohnson really about being about the brexit process orjust about the brexit process orjust about boris johnson and about the brexit process orjust about borisjohnson and his own political ambitions? safety say i think it is the latter. boris johnson is a man who less than two years ago compared the eu ambitions to those of napoleon or hitler so he's not blogged on a specially kindly here. reddish politics is followed closely here as you would imagine. the brexit negotiators are familiar with the position occupied by borisjohnson in familiar with the position occupied by boris johnson in the familiar with the position occupied by borisjohnson in the british political firmament and also who is likely to listen to him. they know there's a big divide in the uk on this issue and people on the redmayne side the debate are unlikely to pay much attention to borisjohnson. so from unlikely to pay m

borisjohnson, and this was his response. boris johnson, foreign secretary and this was his response. borisjohnson, foreign secretary of the country not very far across the channel, he said this morning that you are building a european superstate and that is why the people of britain voted to leave. what you say to that? i gave an answer to this. some in the british political society are against the truth, pretending that i am stupid, and stubborn. but i am in favour of the european super street, i'm strictly against the european superstate. we are not the united states of america. we are the european union. which is a rich body because we have these 27, 28 nations. the european union cannot be built against european nations. so this is total nonsense. so, how did borisjohnson's speech going down? i enjoyed by nigel eva ns. going down? i enjoyed by nigel evans. did you like what you heard and you think your appeal to remain as is likely to succeed? a lot of people who i know who voted remainders want us to get on with it now.

borisjohnson said people make about where you are? boris johnson said an people make about where you are? borisjohnson said an ambitious aim of trying to reach out and reassure former remainers and praising many former remainers and praising many for what he called their noble views and the sceptical europeans, saying that the brexit is not a peace sign from the white cliffs of dover. but at times, it sounded as if we were backin at times, it sounded as if we were back in the blood and gore of the brexit trenches, back in the referendum campaign. and that served to highlight how divisive the brexit issue was and raises the question about whether opinion really has moved on or whether we do still remaina moved on or whether we do still remain a fundamentally divided nation when it comes to brexit. and in that context, whether boris johnson was the relay that message of reassurance. because for many remainers, he is the bogeyman of brexit, a man loathed by many remainers for his approach and some of his claims during that campaign. it i

people around here we re borisjohnson. people around here were listening to the speech by borisjohnson were listening to the speech by boris johnson and borisjohnson and adjusting at this afternoon and they find it interesting as an insight into the discussions going on in the british government at the moment but what they really are waiting for is a speech or document from the prime minister laying out of formal proposals for what the u can expect from the uk when it comes to the future relationship. well we go straight to stormont and sinn fein. we have been for the past few weeks, we have stretched ourselves, we have been involved in detailed and meaningful conversations in terms of trying to move things forward. we did and had an accommodation with the dup in terms of all the issues which are to you all. the dup failed to close on that deal and on the accommodation which we had found. so the dup leadership had failed to come forward and close on the issues where we did find an accommodation. so these issues are not goi

borisjohnson has been telling lies. he said that there will not be, that there must not be a hard border in ireland. this leaked document has shown that he knows that that is where they are going, and if they don't stay in the customs union, that is what is going to happen. and the important thing is, 3,000 people died during the troubles. that negotiated peace took a very long time. it is very delicate. we must have a soft border. the scottish government has published its own version of the european union withdrawal bill, as part of a deepening row with westminster. the tensions are over who should take charge over powers, in areas like agriculture and the environment, which return to the uk after brexit. the scottish and welsh governments have both introduced bills to prepare for the possibilty that they cannot reach agreement with the uk government. fighting has resumed in eastern ghouta, the rebel—held suburb of syria's capital damascus, despite what was supposed to be a "humanitarian pause". it was hoped that the

you are much more encouraged now by borisjohnson. does that are much more encouraged now by boris johnson. does that suggest that you feel confident that mrs may is moving in your direction and away from that of the philip hammond over the end deal? well, it was a gentle questioning of the secretary of state, who was completely on top of the subject. but i think that florence, lancaster house on the conservative party manifesto are the foundation stones of what we are going to do. i've got absolute confidence in the prime minister, who has a great reputation for sticking to what she believes in. she's very stoic and forthright, and, to some extent, stubborn. that's a great quality in a prime minister. briefly on transition, we have heard mr barnier saying there is no chance of us getting any sort of veto, and freedom of movement must continue as is. if mrs may accept that, what happens?” must continue as is. if mrs may accept that, what happens? i think freedom of movement is really difficult, that is one of the most important aspe

let me ask you first of all about the message that borisjohnson has been delivering. how do you think it will be received 7 been delivering. how do you think it will be received? well, it is cosmetic, the whole thing. i'm afraid there is an element of appeasement about this. he has gone in there talking about a political solution — that is, creating a situation in which the rohingya can return, with guarantees of their safety. who will guarantee their safety? the government and army are the perpetrators of the violence. this is a history that these people have been dealing with for decades. it has built up since the second world war. these people, who were seen world war. these people, who were seen as world war. these people, who were seen as british imports... it was a british territory. they created farmlands in western burma, which is now rakhine state. that's a very simple picture of it. they're having problems there for hundreds of. 0thers problems there for hundreds of. others have come in since independence because the goverment did not monitor that border v

how serious could this be for borisjohnson? hard border there. how serious could this be for boris johnson? both he and downing street are talking the stone, but labour are trying to ratchet this up. —— talking this down. the prime minister has had to fight on two fronts. there is pressure from the irish government and from all parties in ireland that the border remains notjust frictionless but is no harder than it is now common goods can pass freely without customs checks, as would happen currently. in order to do that, there is a legal text which has been drawn up in brussels, which we will be seen tomorrow, there is a special cabinet to discuss that on thursday and they are suggesting that in the future as part of a future trade agreement, perhaps this issue could be solved but if not, in effect northern ireland aligns with the republic of ireland when it comes to rules and regulations on the singer market, which some in the dup, who are propping up theresa may's government, might see as in effect suggesting there role to be a border in th

what exactly will borisjohnson be saying? boris johnson was one of the leading voices in the league campaign in the referendum more than 18 months ago. today he wants to reach out to those who supported the remaining side. —— leave campaign. he wants to recognise that there are divisions on the decision. but he will say that brexit should be about hope, not fear, although he will recognise the anxieties of those, but he wants to stress the opportunities presented by brexit. but he has a stark warning for those who he thinks are out to thwart and stop brexit. he says if that succeeds that would be a disastrous mistake. this would be the first in a series of speeches we will be hearing from senior cabinet ministers over the next few weeks. borisjohnson will be the first of those cabinet ministers to set out his stall today. theresa may will be giving a speech on security over the weekend. then we will hear from liam fox, david davis, who will be talking about business, and the cabinet office minister who will talk about dev

more now on the news that the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has been seeking to reassure people who are anxious about brexit, ,saying that splitting from the eu should be a time of hope. this is what the foreign secretary said earlier. sometimes these economic anxieties are intensified by otherfears sometimes these economic anxieties are intensified by other fears about identity and security. hitherto recon die concepts, like the single market of the customs union have unexpected of emotive power. whatever the superficial attractions are of these points, they can be turned on the head. i want to show you today that brexit need not be nationalist, but can be internationalists. it's not an economic threat, but an opportunity. it's a manifestation of this country's national genius. i am running the risk of causing further irritation, but i must run that risk because it is this government's duty to advocate and explained the mission which we are now engaged and it has become absolutely clear to me that we cannot take the argument for granted. and the foreign secretary went on to call fo

among the burnt out remains of a rohingya home, borisjohnson took in the chilling sight, the charred remains of a former life. he found the site himself, although his visit to this region was heavily controlled by the myanmar authorities. can you work out where the house was? he travelled from village to village by helicopter. from the air, you could see whole areas razed to the ground. it's where the myanmar military and buddhist mobs are accused of pogroms against the muslim rohingya. these pictures of burning villages in the area were filmed by the bbc last year. you genuinely have no idea who did it? some rohingya are still here and were brought out by the myanmar authorities to speak to borisjohnson. all denied any knowledge of who had destroyed their village. this habitation has clearly been burnt out and deserted. one of the rohingya villagers that i spoke to a little earlier told me in english, "i hope you understand, we are in a very bad situation and unhappy". he didn't dare tell me who had burnt this village. one government minister accompanying us told me it was what he c

there has been a response from the foreign secretary, borisjohnson. but the foreign secretary boris johnson said he did "not agree for a moment" with sir martin's verdict because the "real growth opportunities" were outside the eu. he said labour's proposal for a long—term customs union would lead to "colony status for the uk." 0ne one of the points that people appreciate about jeremy corbyn's decision, decision to stay in the customs union, the uk will be attracted by the lunar pool of the eu system, ultimately to remain within the lawmaking regime of the single market. we won't have the say around the table. we won't be there. it really is the worst of both worlds. what is advocating is commonly status for the uk and i think it is... many people who voted labour on the assumption that he was committed to brexit are going to be disappointed. 0ur economic correspondent is with me now. there is the true value of the eu. we had borisjohnson saying trade with the eu has declined from 55 to aa%. over the last ten years. it is absolutely true that there

the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has held talks with myanmar‘s leader, aung san suu kyi, over the rohingya refugee crisis. hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to leave myanmar, seeking shelter in neighbouring bangladesh, following a military crackdown, and violence from pro—government militias. mrjohnson has called for the safe return of all refugees to their homes, and a full investigation into the violence in rakhine state. reeta chakrabarti is travelling with the foreign secretary. her report does contain some flash photography. among the burnt out remains at a rohingya home, borisjohnson took in a chilling sight, the charred remains of a former life. he found the site himself although his visit to this region was heavily controlled by the myanmar authorities. can you work out where the house was? he travelled from village to village by helicopter, from the air you could see whole areas razed to the ground. it is where the myanmar military and buddhist mobs are accused of pogroms against the muslim rohingya. these pictures of burning villages in the area were fil

borisjohnson spoke of a britain no longer lashed to the eu, our biggest trading partner. it is a partner that has suffered economically. if we go back to before the financial crisis, eu growth was pretty good, peaking at over 3%. then the financial crisis hit the world economy, and eu growth plunged, like much of the rest of the world, into recession. then the eu was hit by a second crisis — the eurozone crisis — and a second recession. but — last year, a significant change. economic reform and global growth led to this rapid pick up, growth that was epitomised by this man, emmanuel macron, the president of france and poster child of an economically confident eu. these figures are really good, overall, and if we have a look in particular at the french figures, here we have, well, very good news. we have a sign of improvement, both on the domestic side and on the external side. first, on the external side, for sure french growth is benefiting from the firming in world growth, and, in particular, it is strongly benefiting from the improvement, the strengthening, of eu

the other big difficulty is one borisjohnson. is he the man to deliver that message? because we know for many remainers he is the brexit bogeyman mark one. thanks very much. borisjohnson is due to do that speech at about 11 and you will be able to watch it here on bbc news. carole walker is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. the jury at the trial of the former football coach barry bennell, who's been found guilty of dozens of sexual offences against boys, will continue deliberations on other charges today. yesterday, the jury at liverpool crown court returned guilty verdicts on 36 counts and asked for more time to consider seven more. bennell, who appeared in court via videolink due to illness, declined to give evidence in his defence. film star minnie driver has quit as an 0xfam ambassador following claims that staff working for the charity in disaster zones paid vulnerable local people for sex. the actress resigned after 20 years with the aid agency, saying in a statement that she was "horrified" by the allegations. 0xfam said it was "g

and whether borisjohnson stand up and says stop blocking it, it doesn't ta ke says stop blocking it, it doesn't take away from the fact that there are real issues with brexit, with negotiations, what it looks like afterwards. we a re negotiations, what it looks like afterwards. we are just in the unknown. all the recent polls suggest that there is something that people perhaps do want. number one, the general public in the uk are bored of voting could things. there wouldn't be too much appetite that. but once you have a referendum, you have a referendum and you have to move forward with it, whatever the result is. that is what the government are trying to do, albeit not particularly well. this story about eu tax breaks, will it incite —— will it entice city staff? about eu tax breaks, will it incite -- will it entice city staff? this isa -- will it entice city staff? this is a story that we have seen hundreds of times since the referendum. jobs in the uk in the finance industry are going to get paid millions and millions of pounds. how many times have we heard that story? we have

as the face of the leave campaign, some question whether borisjohnson is really the right person to try to heal the divisions of brexit. but he acknowledges today that that positive case for leaving the eu still needs to be made and says that he has to try to make it. but what about the obstacles that could lie ahead? some want more practical answers. boris is really good at the broad brush strokes. but i think what's really needed now are the details. you know, we'rejust over 1a months away from the uk leaving the european union. and details on things like customs and borders, how the really difficult issue of the irish border is going to be delivered, how eu citizens will be able to stay here, the position that they will be in — all that is needed now. more flesh on the bones is what critics want. downing street insists they will get that in the coming days when the spotlight turns to theresa may and what is billed as a significant speech on security. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. 0xfam's regional director in asia has said she's aware of past abuse cases involving the charity'

borisjohnson has had quite a day. there has been a leak, a letter about the irish border to theresa may. tell us about it. the front page of the daily telegraph. it says boris raises the prospect ofa hard border in ireland. as you say, this is off the back of a letter leaked to the prime minister to sky news in which he raises that very prospect. he is not saying that he wants that to happen, but he is saying that if it does happen, we shouldn't worry because in that scenario 95% plus of goods would cross that border unchecked. why is he saying this? he is saying this because he fears that in seeking a 100% guarantee of no hard border, the prime minister is in danger of paying too high a price. and that price could raise questions about the ultimate uk endgame, which is this ambitious, managed divergence from the eu. number 10 has said tonight there will be no hard border along the ireland border. let's digest all this. let's speak to neil richmond. he is the irish government spokesman to neil richmond. he is the iris

the iranians lady is injail because of the statement said by borisjohnson ina the statement said by borisjohnson in a way. he is too much of a loose cannon? yes. people liked him before he was foreign minister but now people are not back clean. would you wa nt people are not back clean. would you want him in charge? not at all. when he was mayor of london when he had more freedom and could set his own agenda, he was brilliant. but as a prime minister, he would be very constrained, couldn't bring out his owfi constrained, couldn't bring out his own personality. he will have to work ina own personality. he will have to work in a more collegiate environment and i don't think he would fit in that. i do think he would fit in that. i do think he would connect with the public quite well, but at the same time, do we wa nt well, but at the same time, do we want to unleash the beast, as it were? gavin williamson, another name? i think he can do it. you need someone strong who will keep the party and the government together. we saw him as chief whip and never lost a vote. he is far enough away from the cab

the people that borisjohnson is meeting here are all in limbo. bangladesh doesn't want them here permanently but they can't go back to myanmar without guarantees of safety. so what can britain do to help? it's about finding a political solution, finding an answer in myanmar, from burma, creating the conditions for a safe, dignified return for these people. that's what they want. they do want to go back but they don't feel safe. that's the message the foreign secretary is taking to myanmar, where he landed tonight. he admits a safe return for the rohingya presently looks unrealistic. it's a very tough diplomatic battle he has to fight. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, on the bangladesh—myanmar border. stay with us on bbc news, plenty more still to come, including: the story of two korean ping—pong stars who won 0lympic story of two korean ping—pong stars who won olympic gold before being separated for ever. there's mr mandela. mr nelson mandela, a free man, taking his first steps into a new south africa. iran's spiritual leader ayatollah khomein

what do you think about the question of borisjohnson. much distracted about events with brexit. i think there is a significant role for our country and this discussion, a moral responsibility given our history and heritage in that region. i do think we should not overstep our bounds. if we are going to act in this environment, if you break it, you own it. if we intervene significantly and if assad were to go as significantly and if assad were to goasa significantly and if assad were to go as a result, two big ifs, who goesin go as a result, two big ifs, who goes in his place? what is our responsibility for popping up that regime? the pragmatic answer is that this terrible person running his country is better rather than propping up a new regime for which we back of the responsibility that cannot go well. war criminals sometimes have to be tolerated? gas. and leaders sometimes had to stay in office. he is a war criminal, not a bad leader. what about the un? we had the french ambassador talking about this being a key credibility moments, notjust the graveyard for many syrians but

we are sitting in london, where is the outrage from westminster, where is borisjohnson on this? fatigue. more to the point, who can enforce that? the russians. can i bring up iran? that is another question. that is in a way balanced because israel and iran balance each other, they are not really the main proponent, it's russia. without the russian air force, assad is dead. it is russia we should target, iran in a way is an aside to the story. what do you think about the question of borisjohnson. much distracted about events with brexit. i think there is a significant role for our country and this discussion, we have a moral responsibility given our history and heritage in that region. i do think we should not overstep our bounds. if we are going to act in this environment, if you break it, you own it. if we intervene significantly, and if assad were to go as a result, that's two big ifs, who goes in his place? what is our responsibility for propping up that regime? the pragmatic answer is that this terrible person running his country is better than propping up a new regime for w
