:00:22. > :00:26.negotiator but don't underestimate the consequences.
:00:27. > :00:27.A terrorist attack is a terrorist attack -
:00:28. > :00:30.says the Prime Minister - no matter which community
:00:31. > :00:42.He was shouting, where are all Muslims? I want to kill all Muslims.
:00:43. > :00:46.Arrested under terrorism laws - bystanders pinned down the suspect
:00:47. > :00:49.He's understood to be 47-year-old Darren Osborne
:00:50. > :00:54.Here in Brussels, day one of the Brexit talks.
:00:55. > :00:56.They have agreed a timetable and a process but can they agree

:01:07. > :01:16.A minute's silence across the UK for the victims

:01:40. > :01:43.He says yes, his own lawyer however seems to disagree.
:01:44. > :02:04.The man who drove a van into a group of Muslims in north London has been
:02:05. > :02:07.He's a 47-year-old from Cardiff who was not known
:02:08. > :02:11.The Prime Minister said the country's determination to fight
:02:12. > :02:16.terrorism must be the same, whoever is responsible.
:02:17. > :02:19.The Muslim Council of Britain said the van had been driven
:02:20. > :02:21.at worshippers who'd just left the mosque in Finsbury Park
:02:22. > :02:26.They were struck on the Seven Sisters Road.
:02:27. > :02:29.Members of the public then detained the driver.
:02:30. > :02:31.According to witnesses, he said that he wanted
:02:32. > :02:38.Here's our correspondent Daniel Sandford.
:02:39. > :02:41.It was just after midnight in London, and the third
:02:42. > :02:47.attack using a vehicle in just three months.
:02:48. > :02:51.This time, the Muslim community was the target.
:02:52. > :02:54.Basically drove on the pavement, coming straight
:02:55. > :03:00.As he is coming to them, he hit all of them.
:03:01. > :03:03.After the van had crashed through worshippers marking
:03:04. > :03:07.the holy month of Ramadan, leaving eight badly injured,
:03:08. > :03:10.men who'd been to late night prayers found themselves wrestling
:03:11. > :03:14.the suspected van driver to the road.
:03:15. > :03:18.When he was on the ground I asked him, why did you do that, why?
:03:19. > :03:27.After a prolonged struggle, the suspected driver was arrested.
:03:28. > :03:31.The imam had intervened to prevent further violence and he was handed
:03:32. > :03:43.over to the first police officers to arrive.
:03:44. > :03:45.We've flagged them down and told them the situation,
:03:46. > :03:48.there is a man, he is restrained, mowed down a group of people
:03:49. > :03:51.with his van and there is a mob attempting to hurt him,
:03:52. > :03:54.if you don't take him, God forbid he might be seriously hurt.
:03:55. > :03:57.What we proceeded to do, me and 20 people, lift the van
:03:58. > :04:01.and the man who got his leg stuck under it got his leg out,
:04:02. > :04:04.although he was in a critical state, really bad, bleeding from his ears
:04:05. > :04:10.The 47-year-old suspect is believed to be Darren Osborne,
:04:11. > :04:13.a father of four from Cardiff, a man unknown to MI5 but somebody
:04:14. > :04:17.who police are now investigating for any extremist or racist views
:04:18. > :04:26.By lunchtime, the Prime Minister had arrived close to
:04:27. > :04:33.Visiting Finsbury Park Mosque, one of two whose worshippers
:04:34. > :04:41.The terrible terrorist attack that took place last night was an act
:04:42. > :04:46.borne out of hatred and it is has devastated a community.
:04:47. > :04:49.I'm pleased to have been here today, to see the strength of that
:04:50. > :04:54.community, coming together, all faiths united in one desire,
:04:55. > :04:57.to see extremism and hatred of all sorts driven out
:04:58. > :05:03.There is no place for this hatred in our country today and we need
:05:04. > :05:06.to work together as one society, as one community to drive it
:05:07. > :05:12.out, this evil that is affecting so many families.
:05:13. > :05:16.The Prime Minister's visit came up just after 12 hours
:05:17. > :05:19.after the van ploughed into a group of worshippers.
:05:20. > :05:22.Theresa May clearly wanting to be seen among
:05:23. > :05:27.the community that was attacked as soon as possible.
:05:28. > :05:30.Jeremy Corbyn, who is the local MP, was up most of the night talking
:05:31. > :05:35.And visited the scene with the Labour Mayor
:05:36. > :05:41.Throughout the day the enormity of what had happened and appeared
:05:42. > :05:44.to weigh on the shoulders of politicians from all parties.
:05:45. > :05:47.This is terror on the streets and a terror of the people
:05:48. > :05:55.on the streets, in the communities I'm very proud to represent
:05:56. > :05:58.in Parliament, that's why I'm here today.
:05:59. > :06:02.All around the politicians visiting, a huge police forensic
:06:03. > :06:06.The focus, this white van rented in Wales.
:06:07. > :06:09.It had turned off the main Seven Sisters Road into a cul-de-sac,
:06:10. > :06:11.hitting the worshippers as it went through.
:06:12. > :06:13.Some of them had been treating a man who was apparently
:06:14. > :06:18.It is unclear if he was hit by the van.
:06:19. > :06:22.He was the only person who died here last night.
:06:23. > :06:29.This was quite clearly an attack on Muslims,
:06:30. > :06:32.who looked like they were probably Muslims and they were coming
:06:33. > :06:42.We treat this as a terrorist attack, and we in the net are as shocked
:06:43. > :06:46.We treat this as a terrorist attack, and we in the Met are as shocked
:06:47. > :06:48.as anybody in this local community and across the country,
:06:49. > :06:52.In this year of terror, the Muslim community
:06:53. > :06:54.of North London was a new target, but the consequences
:06:55. > :07:01.Eight people are still in hospital this evening, some with potentially
:07:02. > :07:10.Daniel Stanford, BBC News, Finsbury Park.
:07:11. > :07:12.Well, as we've been hearing, the BBC understands the suspect
:07:13. > :07:19.Let's join Tomos Morgan, who's outside his house in Cardiff.
:07:20. > :07:28.What more do we know about Mr Osborne? We understand the police
:07:29. > :07:32.have been carrying out raids on this president behind me in the
:07:33. > :07:34.north-east of Cardiff in connection with the arrest of the 47-year-old,
:07:35. > :07:44.Darren Osborne. It is understood he has got four
:07:45. > :07:48.children and he has possibly resided here with his partner. I have been
:07:49. > :07:51.speaking to some of the residents who live in this cul-de-sac in the
:07:52. > :07:57.North east of Cardiff. Mixed reactions. They say that if it is
:07:58. > :08:02.true, they are shocked that someone in their community could have done
:08:03. > :08:07.something like this. I spoke to one individual just a few doors down
:08:08. > :08:10.from the House that the police have been raiding, and Muslim himself,
:08:11. > :08:17.and he said he had not been aware of any sort of racist remarks that this
:08:18. > :08:22.gentleman, Darren Osborne, had said over the years. He had never got
:08:23. > :08:25.that impression from him. He said the children went to the same school
:08:26. > :08:31.and he said he was very shocked and shaken himself if this turns out to
:08:32. > :08:35.be the case, that this individual that lives only a few doors down
:08:36. > :08:41.from him could have committed such an horrific crime in London. We are
:08:42. > :08:48.in Cardiff. It is understood the vehicle that was hired to carry out
:08:49. > :08:54.this atrocity was from a village around 10-15 miles away to the
:08:55. > :09:00.north-west of Cardiff. We do not yet know when that vehicle was hired,
:09:01. > :09:04.but we do know that that company is working alongside the Metropolitan
:09:05. > :09:05.police to give them any information to have for the investigation.
:09:06. > :09:16.These incidents always raised so many questions and so many troubled
:09:17. > :09:18.French police are investigating a suspected terrorist attack
:09:19. > :09:22.in the centre of Paris after a car crashed into a police van
:09:23. > :09:25.It happened along one of the best known streets in Paris,
:09:26. > :09:28.Various media reports claim the driver was armed.
:09:29. > :09:31.Authorities have confirmed that the driver of the car has died.
:09:32. > :09:40.No one else was injured in the attack.
:09:41. > :09:46.Clearly officials in Britain after the attack last night in Finsbury
:09:47. > :09:51.Park have been very careful about how they talk about this attack. You
:09:52. > :09:57.had the Prime Minister and Sadiq Khan and Jeremy Corbyn and Cressida
:09:58. > :10:00.Dick, the head of the Met, saying this is terrorism. The message to
:10:01. > :10:05.the Muslim community and about what they hear about this attack seems to
:10:06. > :10:10.be important and it is critical they get this right. Crucially important
:10:11. > :10:13.to all communities that they get the message right, not only for the
:10:14. > :10:17.politicians but also the media as well. When you look at the stats
:10:18. > :10:23.regarding Islamaphobia commie there have been a two thirds rise on
:10:24. > :10:27.attacks in London and it goes under the radar a bit. There are spikes in
:10:28. > :10:32.these attacks as and when we have terrorist incident in the UK, but
:10:33. > :10:37.the upsetting thing is it is Young Muslims in schools who are being
:10:38. > :10:40.targeted and it is Muslim communities in London and
:10:41. > :10:47.politicians need to address that and the concerns of the community. What
:10:48. > :10:50.you have seen today is people coming out very quickly. Within eight
:10:51. > :10:53.minutes they called it a potential terrorist attack and it is crucial
:10:54. > :11:02.from their perspective that they get that message out. It is day one of
:11:03. > :11:07.the Brexit talks and an opportunity to reset the tone after some of the
:11:08. > :11:12.mudslinging over the last year, but we learn a few things from the press
:11:13. > :11:17.conference. The first is we now have a diary and a sequence of events, so
:11:18. > :11:22.by the end of October there will be five week-long meetings between the
:11:23. > :11:27.two sides. The second thing is they are sticking to what the EU wanted
:11:28. > :11:32.to come first, their calendar, so it will be about the separation, the
:11:33. > :11:36.severance payments, citizens' rights, the crucial issue of the
:11:37. > :11:41.border in Ireland. The third important thing which David Davis
:11:42. > :11:45.spelt out, for all the talk of softening the Brexit deal, we will
:11:46. > :11:49.be leaving the customs union and the single market. That is how it stands
:11:50. > :11:53.today. This is what David Davies had to say and also Michel Barnier.
:11:54. > :11:55.There is more that unites us than divides us.
:11:56. > :11:57.While there will undoubtedly be challenging times
:11:58. > :12:02.ahead of us in the negotiations, we will do all that we can to ensure we
:12:03. > :12:08.deliver a deal that works in the best interest of all citizens.
:12:09. > :12:12.To that end, we are starting this negotiation in a positive and
:12:13. > :12:18.constructive tone, determined to build a strong and special
:12:19. > :12:21.partnership between ourselves and our European allies
:12:22. > :12:28.We must first lift the uncertainty caused by Brexit.
:12:29. > :12:51.We want to make sure that the withdrawal of the UK
:12:52. > :13:01.Then in the second step, we restore our future partnership.
:13:02. > :13:05.We also agree how we structure our talks.
:13:06. > :13:30.Then in the second step, we restore our future partnership.
:13:31. > :13:44.We also agree how we structure our talks.
:13:45. > :13:50.And taking back control eagerly, you can replicate the conduct of the
:13:51. > :13:57.single murky. The real basis of the single murky is the rule that you
:13:58. > :14:01.say you can't... I didn't come across anybody in a referendum who
:14:02. > :14:03.was against Iraq. Be that through this domestic law and through
:14:04. > :14:08.bilateral treaties, we can copy some of those rules so that you keep if
:14:09. > :14:12.market, the way that the Swiss do, market, the way that the Swiss do,
:14:13. > :14:16.while being outside the jurisdiction of the European Court and the
:14:17. > :14:22.European Commission. Oration, Richard, for many remain as in the
:14:23. > :14:26.UK is that there really isn't any... Labour talks about the softening
:14:27. > :14:31.position, you are leaving the sickle market. If you want to negotiate
:14:32. > :14:35.your trade deals, your living missing trade union. That seems to
:14:36. > :14:41.be where the gamut Jeremy Corbyn is. If we leave the single market, there
:14:42. > :14:47.is great danger to the economy. After all the talk after the General
:14:48. > :14:51.Election of that hard Brexit option, that economic leak damaging option
:14:52. > :14:54.being reviewed since it wasn't endorsed by the electorate, there
:14:55. > :14:57.was all this talk about this wider more moderate approach, reaching out
:14:58. > :15:02.to people with different views, to date of its Davis number less said
:15:03. > :15:05.we stick to the white paper, the white paper which surely is largely
:15:06. > :15:12.discredited after the events of the last few weeks.
:15:13. > :15:18.When it comes to the customs union, how do you have this invisible
:15:19. > :15:26.border between North and South in Ireland? No other free-trade area in
:15:27. > :15:31.the world, with the exception of Vladimir Putin's Eurasian union and
:15:32. > :15:36.one other, is a customs union. You are not obliged to have a single
:15:37. > :15:42.common external tariff. Leaving the customs union means Britain can sign
:15:43. > :15:46.free-trade agreements with India, America, Australia and China, all of
:15:47. > :15:52.the big economies overseas, which will account for 100% of the growth
:15:53. > :15:55.in this country. Staying in the customs union while leaving the EU
:15:56. > :16:02.would be the worst of both worlds because the EU would have a say over
:16:03. > :16:06.our trade deals. They had to come here today looking in charge of
:16:07. > :16:10.their brief and yet the politics at home tells us there is an awful lot
:16:11. > :16:15.of discussion to be had in the House of commons. Indeed and I do not
:16:16. > :16:20.think there is a majority in the House of commons for leaving the
:16:21. > :16:24.customs union. It is not as easy as Dan portrays. Not only are you
:16:25. > :16:28.outside your main export market, you also need to make new agreements
:16:29. > :16:33.with the rest of the world to replace the agreements we currently
:16:34. > :16:36.have with the European Union. Many of those were negotiated with the
:16:37. > :16:41.leverage of the world's largest market. We got concessions from
:16:42. > :16:47.other countries that way. If we come along and say, can we have the same
:16:48. > :16:51.please? There is no guarantee... The halfway house is unsatisfactory. Do
:16:52. > :16:59.we have in Norway deal where we pay a lot of money in and have no cloud?
:17:00. > :17:04.The Swiss have a customs border and you barely recognise it. The Swiss
:17:05. > :17:12.export nearly five times as much per head than we do. Plainly this is not
:17:13. > :17:15.a block to exploits. But those countries have free-trade agreements
:17:16. > :17:23.with China, the second-biggest economy the world. The EU does not
:17:24. > :17:27.have trade agreements with China or the US. I bet you a pound to the
:17:28. > :17:35.euro that we will have trade agreements with those. It is a
:17:36. > :17:38.pretty bad agreement. They cannot even export washers to China.
:17:39. > :17:49.Through Europe we get better deals because we have the push of the
:17:50. > :17:54.single union. Is soft Brexit dead? Soft Brexit is still alive. It has
:17:55. > :17:58.the disadvantage of leaving the European Union because you have to
:17:59. > :18:01.accept the rules that you do not have a say any more. But
:18:02. > :18:08.economically it is a far less damaging option. We want the closest
:18:09. > :18:11.possible relationship with our European allies compatible with
:18:12. > :18:17.being an independent country. That means giving our trade deals and our
:18:18. > :18:21.military and security links. We want to have prosperous neighbours
:18:22. > :18:25.because they make good customers. We will be, if you like, a country club
:18:26. > :18:29.member, supporting from the outside without being part of the political
:18:30. > :18:33.union and we will get what the British people always wanted a
:18:34. > :18:39.Common Market, and not a common government. There is a flavour of
:18:40. > :18:43.some of the negotiation in the coming weeks. They did get off to a
:18:44. > :18:53.good start. They are both very keen hill walkers. I am not sure if there
:18:54. > :19:01.are coded messages. Michel Barnier gave David Davis hobbled walking
:19:02. > :19:06.stick. And Michel Barnier was given a book on the Himalayas. We could
:19:07. > :19:11.say that there is a big summit ahead and they are not even at base camp
:19:12. > :19:14.one. Or something about a long slog
:19:15. > :19:18.uphill. I think they would have done better
:19:19. > :19:22.off giving each other a crate of brandy or a very large box of
:19:23. > :19:28.aspirin. Some Red Bull might have been better
:19:29. > :19:30.as the messy-mac I am sticking with brandy, Christian.
:19:31. > :19:35.A minute's silence has been held across the UK for the victims
:19:36. > :19:40.Police now say 79 people have died - or are missing, presumed dead -
:19:41. > :19:42.and that some of their identities might never be known,
:19:43. > :19:57.There have been too many days like this.
:19:58. > :20:00.The firefighters of Red Watch, first on the scene last Wednesday,
:20:01. > :20:01.linking arms with others across the United Kingdom,
:20:02. > :20:04.the country pausing to reflect on the Grenfell Tower tragedy,
:20:05. > :20:07.a nation once again standing silently united in grief.
:20:08. > :20:15.And then for Red Watch it was back to the harrowing work in the tower
:20:16. > :20:18.as the official count of those presumed to have died
:20:19. > :20:40.This was the reaction of firefighters when they raced
:20:41. > :20:48.Like so many, disbelieving at the scale and ferocity of the blaze.
:20:49. > :20:52.I have investigated major crime for most of my service and I have
:20:53. > :20:54.seen some terrible things but I don't think anything prepared
:20:55. > :21:00.The fire response team, including the Red Cross,
:21:01. > :21:03.London boroughs and Whitehall departments, is now
:21:04. > :21:05.providing financial, physical and psychological support
:21:06. > :21:11.Over ?200,000 in aid has been given out.
:21:12. > :21:16.Hotels and estate agents are helping find temporary beds and permanent

:21:28. > :22:05.Resilience arrangements were not invoked by the Royal Borough of
:22:06. > :22:05.Kensington and Chelsea. That is when we stepped in.
:22:06. > :22:08.Some residents from evacuated homes in the shadow of Grenfell Tower say
:22:09. > :22:11.they have been told that the only option is to return to the flats.
:22:12. > :22:15.One resident says a number of his neighbours are in homes without hot

:26:11. > :26:19.And another hot day in the city, very uncomfortable for some of us.
:26:20. > :26:23.Others like it. It is going to stay overnight and into tomorrow and it
:26:24. > :26:27.is very uncomfortable over the next three days and three night as far as
:26:28. > :26:31.sleeping goes in many parts of England. There is fresh air in
:26:32. > :26:36.Scotland and Northern Ireland but this cooler air may not reach the
:26:37. > :26:40.South until well into the weekend, so we will have to deal with this
:26:41. > :26:46.heat through most of the week, particularly in southern areas of
:26:47. > :26:50.the UK. I want to show you what the temperatures will be roundabout
:26:51. > :26:55.bedtime. Let's call it 11 o'clock. We are talking about the mid 20s in
:26:56. > :27:01.London and the Midlands, in the southern parts of Wales. 22 in
:27:02. > :27:07.Plymouth. Throughout Yorkshire 23 degrees, and then it freshens up
:27:08. > :27:12.significantly. This is 11 o'clock in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Even
:27:13. > :27:17.14 degrees is warm, but this is a lot cooler than what we have further
:27:18. > :27:22.south. One thing that will be happening, and this cool front, it
:27:23. > :27:26.is not particularly cold, this cooled front will separate the
:27:27. > :27:32.slightly less hot air in the North from the real heat in the south. The
:27:33. > :27:39.heat on Tuesday will transferred to more southern and south-western
:27:40. > :27:43.areas. 30 in London and 17 in Newcastle. On Wednesday we see
:27:44. > :27:47.whether France approaching the UK. To the south it will stay hot, but
:27:48. > :27:53.in the north there is a chance of thunderstorms. We will see cloudy
:27:54. > :27:56.weather and outbreaks of rain and a distinct difference between the
:27:57. > :28:03.north and the South. Again temperatures reaching 30 degrees in
:28:04. > :28:08.London. On Wednesday it is the start of Glastonbury in Somerset, a very
:28:09. > :28:13.hot start, but then things will be cooling off as we go through the
:28:14. > :28:17.course of the week. On Tuesday it is another hot one in the South East
:28:18. > :28:21.and East Anglia and the temperatures are lowering in the western areas,
:28:22. > :28:27.back to where we should be at this time of the year. The end of the
:28:28. > :28:28.week is looking fresher, but not fresher automatically in the far
:28:29. > :30:18.South East. To days plus. Our top story: a man
:30:19. > :30:26.who drove a man into a group of balloons in north London at
:30:27. > :30:32.understood to be -- Muslims. Is Donald Trump in the position or not?
:30:33. > :30:45.His own lawyers into discrete, we are confused. -- seem to disagree,
:30:46. > :30:48.we are confused. As if the situation in Syria weren't tricky enough, it
:30:49. > :30:54.is now becoming even more promulgated and potentially
:30:55. > :31:06.dangerous. The Russia said any Syrian player the flying... The
:31:07. > :31:11.warning comes after the... In a separate incident, in Iran, there
:31:12. > :31:18.are guards say the lawn several missiles into Eton Syria to target
:31:19. > :31:24.Islamic State targets. I am joined by Bill Coen. Thank you becoming in.
:31:25. > :31:28.How concerned are you? There have been a sequence of events, Russians
:31:29. > :31:33.say they cancelled the hotline, we have got these Iranians missiles and
:31:34. > :31:42.them shooting down a warplane. How serious is this? It can't get much
:31:43. > :31:46.more, located without it spreading into a conflict. Russia has two
:31:47. > :31:54.breeds careful about what it is saying and doing. -- Russia has to
:31:55. > :31:58.be careful. They put the hotline back in operation. This is a
:31:59. > :32:02.dangerous situation which I don't think the Russian... Russians want
:32:03. > :32:05.to take on. We don't want a war with Russia. Talking is going to be more
:32:06. > :32:15.important. Extraordinary to think of the
:32:16. > :32:20.possibility that America do not want to have a war with America. --
:32:21. > :32:28.rusher. I imagine the potential for a mistake being made is a great one.
:32:29. > :32:34.Yes, this calculation. Honest mistakes, with so many different
:32:35. > :32:39.troops, so many planes flying, so many groups and forces all in the
:32:40. > :32:49.same type of region, the chance for Mr chelation, mistake or --
:32:50. > :32:54.miscalculation. It is dangerous. I was reading this morning about the
:32:55. > :32:56.troop numbers for Afghanistan and it is loosely connected this because
:32:57. > :33:03.they were saying in the American papers that the Pentagon is being
:33:04. > :33:06.given the lead on deciding how to tackle So-called Islamic State and
:33:07. > :33:11.Al-Qaeda, I wonder if that just adds to the convocations. Without the
:33:12. > :33:17.Commander in Chief over the top. You may recall over the course of the
:33:18. > :33:20.campaign, President Ron said he knew more than the generals knew. It is
:33:21. > :33:26.clear that he doesn't know more and that is one of the reasons why he
:33:27. > :33:31.has deferred to secretary Jim Mavers. -- President Trump.
:33:32. > :33:38.Certainly due to waterboarding and torturing. He has been deferring to
:33:39. > :33:42.the military and in this particular case, I would hope that he would
:33:43. > :33:48.spend more time reading the presidential daily brief that he
:33:49. > :33:52.does engaging in twitter. But to an extent, he doesn't and he will have
:33:53. > :33:57.to rely on secretary matters to understand what the nature of this
:33:58. > :34:13.and the chance of success will be depending on what the strategies.
:34:14. > :34:17.What would you like to hear from the administration on Syria from the
:34:18. > :34:27.president is himself? I would like to have the present
:34:28. > :34:30.articulate what the strategy is. Before you start talking about
:34:31. > :34:39.numbers of troops going up, numbers to do what? What are we seeking to
:34:40. > :34:43.do? Both in Iraq and Syria. I think it is still unclear whether there is
:34:44. > :34:45.insurgency, whether terrorists, it is not clear exactly what is needed
:34:46. > :35:11.and how many troops are needed. A short time ago, I spoke to Michael
:35:12. > :35:13.who is a adviser to angler Michael. The price of divorce for Britain is
:35:14. > :35:17.going to be 100 billion euros. You going to be 100 billion euros. You
:35:18. > :35:21.know Britain will never pay that, it is not politically possible for the
:35:22. > :35:25.Government to agree that, what is the real cost? What will it take to
:35:26. > :35:30.tell other European countries it is going to be more expensive for you
:35:31. > :35:34.to leave them to stay in? There are contracts. Of course, the UK has to
:35:35. > :35:39.follow the contracts and if the contracts are really that high then
:35:40. > :35:46.the UK might have to pay. Brexit is a Brexit, we are not very happy that
:35:47. > :35:52.the UK wants to do the Brexit, but if they really want to, they have to
:35:53. > :36:01.but the proposals. Today, we started the proposals in Brussels. Mr Davies
:36:02. > :36:05.and Mr Michel Barnier. One thing for us is very clear. Brexit means
:36:06. > :36:09.Brexit. In means in and out means out and if somebody is stepping out,
:36:10. > :36:12.he has to come up with a decent proposal and we are waiting. You
:36:13. > :36:18.seem to be saying that 100 billion euros might be the figure that
:36:19. > :36:25.Britain has to pay to leave. It is. That is not out of the world. It
:36:26. > :36:29.could be true that this is the figure. One thing is very clear,
:36:30. > :36:36.countries not being an EU member are not free not to pay nothing to the
:36:37. > :36:40.EU. Is this money that you are asking from Brittany punishment to
:36:41. > :36:43.Britain for leaving, or is it a deterrent to other European Union
:36:44. > :36:49.countries that might be thinking of leaving? I don't think so. We don't
:36:50. > :36:53.want to punish anybody. First of all, we have got to say that we are
:36:54. > :36:57.not happy that they are leaving, but as a matter of fact, there are a lot
:36:58. > :37:00.of British civil servants in Brussels which are going to have
:37:01. > :37:07.pensions and things like that, that has to be paid by Britain, of
:37:08. > :37:13.course. This is normal. We have to calculate everything. Definitely, we
:37:14. > :37:17.will do it in a fair way. The talks started today. You are a close ally
:37:18. > :37:20.of angler Michael. It'd be Chancellor's view that the Brits
:37:21. > :37:26.have come to these talks in Brussels weakened by the election results in
:37:27. > :37:30.Britain? It is not my turn to discuss the election result. That is
:37:31. > :37:39.the British people who voted. Not so much in favour of Madame may again.
:37:40. > :37:43.Right, but is it the feeling of the European union and the European
:37:44. > :37:46.Union partners that Britain is now in a weaker negotiating position?
:37:47. > :37:57.You feel emboldened? It is difficult to say that. We are really starting
:37:58. > :38:00.today. The Article 50 already is triggered in March, so we should
:38:01. > :38:08.have done work already which we could not close Mrs May decided to
:38:09. > :38:15.have election first. Now it is a new situation. A new party, not just Mrs
:38:16. > :38:19.May's party, also the DUP party and we had to see how they are coming
:38:20. > :38:27.along. It is all pretty clear at the moment. Accurate much for joining
:38:28. > :38:30.us. The message seems to be that we love Britain and the Brits, but if
:38:31. > :38:34.they are leaving, they have to pay. It is day one. You are very good at
:38:35. > :38:38.this kind of thing, speculate forward for me. Go forward. How long
:38:39. > :38:43.is this go to take and how difficult will it be? How will they get it
:38:44. > :38:45.over the finish line? You send me an interesting part of research which I
:38:46. > :38:50.haven't seen. Those who are pro-remain and favour of Europe,
:38:51. > :38:53.think Germany is a favour of good and will try and help where it can.
:38:54. > :38:56.There are those of the Brexit side who think that Germany has too much
:38:57. > :39:00.influence. My view is that actually be people who will really make the
:39:01. > :39:04.difference in these negotiations are actually the two guys who have been
:39:05. > :39:08.in the building today, Michel Barnier and David Davis because when
:39:09. > :39:12.you look back at previous negotiations, look back at the Good
:39:13. > :39:16.Friday Agreement. Lots of history, lots of negativity, people coming
:39:17. > :39:20.from opposite sides of the spectrum. Yet, it was the relationship between
:39:21. > :39:23.Doctor Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness, for instance, that
:39:24. > :39:25.really made the difference at the end of the day. They developed this
:39:26. > :39:30.close personal relationship through the negotiation and when they came
:39:31. > :39:33.to the roadblocks, it was that personal relationship, two of them
:39:34. > :39:38.locked in a room, likely got them over the line.
:39:39. > :39:49.we are cynical, but actually it might not work like that. When we
:39:50. > :39:52.think that relationship will prove think that relationship will prove
:39:53. > :39:57.crucial when it comes to the end of the play.
:39:58. > :40:01.They did make a good point of saying it had gone well.
:40:02. > :40:03.Is the president under investigation for obstruction of justice of not?
:40:04. > :40:06.That is the question which seems to be vexing even the Trump
:40:07. > :40:10.On Friday the president sent this tweet saying: I am
:40:11. > :40:13.being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told
:40:14. > :40:25.A member of Mr Trump's legal team, Jay Sekulow,
:40:26. > :40:29.that the president was just referring to media reports
:40:30. > :40:30.and that he was not under investigation.
:40:31. > :40:35.Now he is being investigated by the Department of Justice
:40:36. > :40:37.because the special counsel under the special Council regulation
:40:38. > :40:39.reports to the Department of Justice, not an independent
:40:40. > :40:42.counsel, so he is being investigated.
:40:43. > :40:44.You have now said he is being investigated
:40:45. > :40:52.You just said that he is being investigated.
:40:53. > :40:56.No, Chris, let me be crystal clear so you completely understand.
:40:57. > :40:59.We have not received, nor are we aware of any
:41:00. > :41:01.investigation of the president of the United States.
:41:02. > :41:06.You just said two times that he is being investigated.
:41:07. > :41:10.No, you are putting words in my mouth when I have been crystal
:41:11. > :41:13.clear that the president is not and has not been
:41:14. > :41:17.I don't think I can be any clearer than that.
:41:18. > :41:23.I don't think I can be any clearer than that. I'm confused and
:41:24. > :41:27.bamboozled. First of all he said he was under investigation, for
:41:28. > :41:33.something that the DOJ told them to do, but likely he is not
:41:34. > :41:38.investigation. Which is a? I don't know about you, whenever a lawyer or
:41:39. > :41:40.a politician says I'm going to be crystal clear, it is usually a
:41:41. > :41:45.pretty good indication that they are trying to muddy the waters quite a
:41:46. > :41:51.lot. The real story of this is that the White House doesn't know if he
:41:52. > :41:55.is investigating, being under investigation, because he has not
:41:56. > :41:58.been formally notified. And when he was pushed on this committee had to
:41:59. > :42:03.get in the position of admitting that he didn't actually know whether
:42:04. > :42:08.the president... We are getting weight loss in the weeds of
:42:09. > :42:11.president was under investigating, president was under investigating,
:42:12. > :42:14.we just know treated. The top and bottom of this is that when
:42:15. > :42:18.President Trump is talking about jobs jobs jobs. He is talking about
:42:19. > :42:22.jobs for the lawyers. Lawyers are now getting lawyers. And his lawyers
:42:23. > :42:29.getting a lawyer. Amyloid have you got? I think I better got one of
:42:30. > :42:33.town. Who am I got a lawyer in town. Who am I got a lawyer in
:42:34. > :42:37.Washington, DC at the moment. It needs to be done. The only other
:42:38. > :42:42.thing I would say his do you remember James Coney's testimony and
:42:43. > :42:45.how he assumes that Robert was going to investigate the instruction of
:42:46. > :42:55.justice, that would seem to suggest that that issue was going to come up
:42:56. > :42:59.under that investigation. That it is from Brussels, we will be like
:43:00. > :43:01.tomorrow, I will be back in London. From me and catty, we will be back
:43:02. > :43:02.thank you very
