:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight at 10, jobs and prosperity must come first in any Brexit deal -

:00:08. > :00:08.the Chancellor spells out his priority.

:00:09. > :00:13.Mr Hammond said that while people had voted to leave the EU,

:00:14. > :00:19.they hadn't voted to make themselves poorer.

:00:20. > :00:21.The Bank of England echoed the Chancellor's remarks,

:00:22. > :00:24.which are seen as a signal that he wants a change of emphasis

:00:25. > :00:30.But it must be done in a way that works for

:00:31. > :00:35.Britain, in a way that prioritises British jobs and underpins Britain's

:00:36. > :00:45.Mr Hammond also insisted that migration needed to be managed,

:00:46. > :00:48.We'll have more on this major intervention by the Chancellor

:00:49. > :00:57.The latest images of the attack outside a mosque in North London,

:00:58. > :01:06.where a local imam intervened to stop further violence.

:01:07. > :01:13.The true heroes are those who arrived on the scene right at the

:01:14. > :01:15.start. And the heroes are those in the hospital now, suffering with

:01:16. > :01:17.injuries, some of them life-threatening.

:01:18. > :01:19.Nine years after the financial crisis, Barclays Bank and four

:01:20. > :01:22.former executives are charged with fraud.

:01:23. > :01:25.Britain is facing its longest heatwave since 1995,

:01:26. > :01:35.and if it lasts until Friday, the longest since 1976.

:01:36. > :01:41.And at Queen's, a shock defeat in the first round for Andy Murray,

:01:42. > :01:44.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News -

:01:45. > :01:47.it's not all bad news for British tennis, as Joanna Konta

:01:48. > :02:11.books her place in the last 16 at the Aegon Classic in Birmingham.

:02:12. > :02:21.Have few technical problems tonight, for which we apologise. -- a few.

:02:22. > :02:25.On the eve of the Queen's Speech, and in the week the formal Brexit

:02:26. > :02:27.talks got under way, the Chancellor has defined his own

:02:28. > :02:30.Phillip Hammond said that jobs and economic prosperity had

:02:31. > :02:32.to be the priorities in the Brexit talks,

:02:33. > :02:34.and he stressed that immigration needed to be managed,

:02:35. > :02:38.Mr Hammond said that while people had voted to leave

:02:39. > :02:40.the European Union, they had not voted to

:02:41. > :02:43.The Chancellor's comments, in the City of London,

:02:44. > :02:45.were welcomed by some business leaders, as our Economics Editor,

:02:46. > :02:53.A year on from the referendum, and cars waiting in sunny Southampton

:02:54. > :02:57.for a journey to the continent of Europe.

:02:58. > :03:00.Exports to the European Union like these are a key driver of

:03:01. > :03:03.our economy, an economy the Chancellor said will now be at the

:03:04. > :03:08.heart of those complicated Brexit negotiations.

:03:09. > :03:11.Speaking at the Mansion house in Central London,

:03:12. > :03:15.Philip Hammond said without a flexible deal with the EU,

:03:16. > :03:19.When the British people voted last June, they

:03:20. > :03:24.did not vote to become poorer or less secure.

:03:25. > :03:27.They did vote to leave the EU, and we will leave the EU.

:03:28. > :03:31.But it must be done in a way that works for Britain, in a way that

:03:32. > :03:39.prioritises British jobs and underpins Britain's prosperity.

:03:40. > :03:42.Alongside Mr Hammond today, the Governor of the Bank of England.

:03:43. > :03:45.He said that Brexit was likely to make

:03:46. > :03:47.people poorer and that there would need to be a

:03:48. > :03:49.transition period after the completion

:03:50. > :03:55.A Monetary Policy Committee cannot prevent weaker growth

:03:56. > :03:57.that is likely to accompany the transition to new trading

:03:58. > :04:02.It can support households and businesses, as they adjust to such

:04:03. > :04:12.Here is the Bank of England, and about two miles down

:04:13. > :04:16.And the leaders of those two institutions, I think, came together

:04:17. > :04:20.today to make one big point about Brexit.

:04:21. > :04:23.Put the economic wealth of Britain first, they both said.

:04:24. > :04:27.Even if that means some sacrifices on

:04:28. > :04:30.most controversial issues of sovereignty and strict

:04:31. > :04:39.But from Mr Hammond's on colleagues, a reminder of why

:04:40. > :04:50.We want to ensure that business gets access to the labour that it needs,

:04:51. > :04:53.but there is also a strong worry amongst people in Britain that

:04:54. > :04:54.people are coming to the United Kingdom,

:04:55. > :04:57.using our public services, who may not be contribute

:04:58. > :05:01.That is the problem of the government will deal with,

:05:02. > :05:04.and we'll deal with that in a reasonable way over a period

:05:05. > :05:07.There were plenty of warnings today from the Chancellor and

:05:08. > :05:12.Higher prices, struggling consumers, the need for a good Brexit deal.

:05:13. > :05:16.And even those who see bold opportunities ahead, are aware

:05:17. > :05:21.I don't think there is any doubt since the budget

:05:22. > :05:30.Now it's glass half full or glass half empty.

:05:31. > :05:33.Clearly that has meant there is higher inflation, and that has

:05:34. > :05:34.had a knock-on effect for real incomes.

:05:35. > :05:37.But on the other hand, there has been a much-needed boost

:05:38. > :05:40.We really did need that boost because the currency

:05:41. > :05:44.It was a day for stepping back and taking the wider

:05:45. > :05:47.An economy for consumers so uncertain, Mr Carney

:05:48. > :05:50.said there would be no interest rate rises in the near future.

:05:51. > :05:54.But there could be more squally weather ahead.

:05:55. > :06:06.Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, is at Westminster.

:06:07. > :06:14.John, thoughts first of all on this contribution by Philip Hammond and

:06:15. > :06:18.what it signifies? It was an assertion of new-found and in some

:06:19. > :06:21.ways unexpected authority. Philip Hammond did not contradict the

:06:22. > :06:26.government line but he did take on the hardline view of some Brexiteers

:06:27. > :06:31.in the party and the Cabinet. He set out his own vision for, for example,

:06:32. > :06:35.a transition period on the way to Brexit, long enough to satisfy

:06:36. > :06:38.business that has been shielded from the impact. That included long

:06:39. > :06:43.enough to deal with migration numbers. So no rush to cut migration

:06:44. > :06:48.onto British workers have the skills necessary to fill the jobs that

:06:49. > :06:51.bring in migrant workers. We have seen how Phil Hammond, a man who

:06:52. > :06:56.might have been sacked had Theresa May got the result she hoped for,

:06:57. > :07:00.instead he is a powerful player. As for Brexit, the outcome of that

:07:01. > :07:04.story, nobody can really say. Here we are on the eve of the Queens

:07:05. > :07:11.speech were the government is God is set out its latest is the plans,

:07:12. > :07:15.what should people look out for a? A government programme which will be

:07:16. > :07:18.shorn of anything likely to lead to on timely embarrassing government

:07:19. > :07:21.defeat. Instead we will see a government programme with a positive

:07:22. > :07:26.view of Brexit running through it like the lettering through a stick

:07:27. > :07:30.of rock. They will be a measure to bring back to Britain lawmaking

:07:31. > :07:35.powers. Measures on the economy, security, fairness. In other words,

:07:36. > :07:40.the kind of positive vision that a lot of Tories which is now they had

:07:41. > :07:43.to spread during the election campaign and that might have led to

:07:44. > :07:46.a more positive result. We will never know if they are right about

:07:47. > :07:50.that. But they are having to live with the result of a poor campaign.

:07:51. > :07:52.Relative weakness and great uncertainty at a time of great

:07:53. > :07:55.national chains. John Pienaar there. Police are still questioning a man

:07:56. > :07:58.in connection with the attack on Muslim worshippers

:07:59. > :08:00.in North London. Darren Osborne, who's

:08:01. > :08:03.47 and from Cardiff, was arrested on suspicion

:08:04. > :08:06.of terrorism offences. Nine people were taken to hospital,

:08:07. > :08:09.and one man, who had been taken ill before the attack,

:08:10. > :08:11.died at the scene. The attack has led to renewed calls

:08:12. > :08:15.for the government to review changes to police funding,

:08:16. > :08:30.as our Home Affairs Correspondent, You have to lift the ban. The chaos

:08:31. > :08:35.caused by the attack on Sunday night was captured in these dramatic new

:08:36. > :08:40.pictures. A hired van had ploughed into a group of people marking the

:08:41. > :08:47.holy Muslim month of Ramadan. Nine ended up in hospital and one man

:08:48. > :08:51.died. Amongst the crowd were Abdullah and his 13-year-old son.

:08:52. > :08:59.Today they were recovering at home in their garden. Because it he has

:09:00. > :09:09.little English, his son spoke for both of them. I saw and angry driver

:09:10. > :09:18.in the van, in a company van. He looked at the Muslims. He drove

:09:19. > :09:27.through and hit seven or eight people. One was underneath a van. My

:09:28. > :09:34.dad got hit on his shoulder and next to his legs the hired van ran over

:09:35. > :09:39.this man's foot and ankle, breaking them both. He was allowed home from

:09:40. > :09:47.hospital today. Andy told me he had been trying to help the man who died

:09:48. > :09:52.when he was hit. I fall down. And I see the guy bleeding on the head.

:09:53. > :10:00.Another guy lying next to me unconscious. So I stood up to try to

:10:01. > :10:08.help those guys. When I stand, I fall down. The other guys came to me

:10:09. > :10:17.and said, the guy is going to strike again. This was a cold, calculated

:10:18. > :10:22.cruelty to cause chaos and to divide communities. Witnesses have told us

:10:23. > :10:25.the van came down the road at speed, turning into this cul-de-sac and

:10:26. > :10:32.knocking down the worshippers as it came through. It then came to a rest

:10:33. > :10:37.between those two bollards. Bob Ballard that it hit has been moved.

:10:38. > :10:43.When it came to a stop, a young man was trapped underneath the van. He

:10:44. > :10:47.has survived. The suspected driver, Darren Osborne from Cardiff, is

:10:48. > :10:51.being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorist

:10:52. > :10:54.offences. When he was grabbed by bystanders at the scene, the local

:10:55. > :10:59.imam intervened, explaining today why he wanted to deliver the suspect

:11:00. > :11:09.safely to the police. Add anything happened to him, then extra

:11:10. > :11:16.bloodshed does not deliver justice. To the families. And it provides no

:11:17. > :11:20.answers. As the horror of Sunday night sinks in, there are

:11:21. > :11:24.suggestions the government may be rethinking changes to police funding

:11:25. > :11:30.that would affect the larger forces like London's Metropolitan Police.

:11:31. > :11:32.We are stretched. And I am talking with the mayor and I'm talking with

:11:33. > :11:39.the government about the resources that we need to get, I believe, in

:11:40. > :11:43.the future. After three months of terror, the government's approach

:11:44. > :11:44.the police funding may be starting to change. Daniel Sandford, BBC

:11:45. > :11:45.News. Belgian police say a man who caused

:11:46. > :11:48.a small explosion in the central train station in Brusssels,

:11:49. > :11:51.has been shot. No one else is believed

:11:52. > :11:57.to have been injured. The central station and a nearby

:11:58. > :11:59.square were crowded with tourists at the time, but they've

:12:00. > :12:01.since been evacuated. Police say the situation

:12:02. > :12:07.is under control. Our correspondent,

:12:08. > :12:21.Damian Grammaticas, is at the scene. What is the latest on what happened?

:12:22. > :12:26.What we have heard is from a witness who was in the station at the time

:12:27. > :12:33.it happened. It was almost exactly 8:45pm local time. He said it was

:12:34. > :12:37.moderately busy. This man saw a device, something on the ground,

:12:38. > :12:41.burst into flames. There was an ignition. He said there was not an

:12:42. > :12:46.explosion. It was almost as if some kind of trigger device went off but

:12:47. > :12:51.nothing else exploded. There was a burst of flames. This package caught

:12:52. > :12:57.fire. What we then heard, that witness left the scene very quickly.

:12:58. > :13:01.He didn't see anybody injured. The deputy station master has said he

:13:02. > :13:06.saw a man running from the scene, leaving the scene quickly, turn, go

:13:07. > :13:10.back into the station. Then the security forces, who were there very

:13:11. > :13:14.quickly, opened fire on an individual they believed to have

:13:15. > :13:18.carried out the debtor nation. Shot him, wounded him. What we have heard

:13:19. > :13:23.is that bomb disposal teams were sent in. They examined this

:13:24. > :13:27.individual, who was wounded on the ground, to make sure there were no

:13:28. > :13:31.more explosives before he was then taken to hospital. We understand

:13:32. > :13:36.that individual survived the shooting. We're waiting for some

:13:37. > :13:39.more information from police. They sealed the area off. It is under

:13:40. > :13:40.control and calm in the streets around.

:13:41. > :13:47.Damian, thank you. The emergency response team

:13:48. > :13:50.dealing with the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire,

:13:51. > :13:52.in West London, has said all the survivors have been found

:13:53. > :13:54.temporary accommodation. Earlier today, it said a third

:13:55. > :13:57.of a million pounds had Nearly a week on from the disaster,

:13:58. > :14:02.in which at least 79 people died, our special correspondent,

:14:03. > :14:04.Lucy Manning, has been talking to some families

:14:05. > :14:08.about their experiences. This time last Tuesday,

:14:09. > :14:18.meals were being eaten, Now, it's a place where families

:14:19. > :14:25.are lost, where those who survived can't return,

:14:26. > :14:27.and they are still Will Thompson helped

:14:28. > :14:30.save his neighbour from the fire, he's been given a hotel room

:14:31. > :14:33.to live in. A hotel's a hotel

:14:34. > :14:35.and a home's a home. No matter how good they treat us

:14:36. > :14:39.in a hotel, it's not my home. This is a week, almost

:14:40. > :14:51.a week after the fire, Yesterday we met Miguel Alves

:14:52. > :15:09.in his hotel room, today it's no They threw me out from the hotel

:15:10. > :15:15.because it was fully They gave us another hotel

:15:16. > :15:23.in Earl's Court and now we have to move everything back to Earl's

:15:24. > :15:27.Court. You know, if we could find

:15:28. > :15:29.somewhere more permanent, a more permanent place to stay,

:15:30. > :15:33.to try and get back to some It will give us some time to mourn

:15:34. > :15:37.over the friends that Nina Massaroh walks with her

:15:38. > :15:53.suitcase, she lived in the estate Besides being a refugee

:15:54. > :15:56.in my own community, I'm taking my suitcase home to go

:15:57. > :15:58.and get some clothing, some more school uniform

:15:59. > :16:01.bits for my children. So I'm now in a hotel, you know,

:16:02. > :16:04.with my children, who are studying, who are going through exams

:16:05. > :16:06.and through a lot of trauma. They're having

:16:07. > :16:07.counselling themselves. We need someone to

:16:08. > :16:10.categorically tell us - The help for survivors does now

:16:11. > :16:16.seem better organised, but it's taken a week to get

:16:17. > :16:19.here and there are still major concerns about housing, about safety

:16:20. > :16:26.and especially about trust. I would not say that we're on top

:16:27. > :16:29.of the situation because this task is enormous and an issue

:16:30. > :16:31.that is incredibly important We've only just started, I think,

:16:32. > :16:38.really reaching into the community. And everywhere here the pictures

:16:39. > :16:46.that are too much to bear. The children and their teacher

:16:47. > :16:51.of Avondale Park Primary - Nadia, Zeinab, Fatima,

:16:52. > :16:54.Firdaws, Yakub and Mierna, Barclays, and four of the bank's

:16:55. > :17:07.former senior executives, have been charged with committing

:17:08. > :17:09.fraud during the financial The charges relate to the way

:17:10. > :17:15.the bank raised billions of pounds from investors in Qatar,

:17:16. > :17:22.which meant that Barclays was able to avoid being resuced

:17:23. > :17:25.by the British taxpayer. The former chief executive,

:17:26. > :17:27.John Varley, is among those due to appear in court next month,

:17:28. > :17:30.as our business editor, Charged with criminal conduct,

:17:31. > :17:33.Barclays and four members of the bank's top brass,

:17:34. > :17:35.including former Chief Executive John Varley and former head

:17:36. > :17:38.of Barclay's Middle Eastern This is the first time senior

:17:39. > :17:43.executives of any British bank have faced criminal proceedings

:17:44. > :17:44.for their conduct during While the UK Government was busy

:17:45. > :17:50.using taxpayers' money to rescue RBS and Lloyds,

:17:51. > :17:53.Barclays came here, to Qatar, for emergency

:17:54. > :17:58.cash to keep it afloat. In 2008, Barclays raised

:17:59. > :18:01.a total of ?12 billion from Middle Eastern investors,

:18:02. > :18:03.including Qatar Holding, There was a sweetener,

:18:04. > :18:10.?332 million was paid to Qatar for advisory services,

:18:11. > :18:15.payments that weren't disclosed. Not only that, but Barclays lent

:18:16. > :18:18.?2 billion to Qatar Holding Lending others money

:18:19. > :18:24.to buy your shares is illegal. So why did Barclays turn

:18:25. > :18:27.down Government money? The Chief Executive at the time,

:18:28. > :18:30.and one of the people charged today, The circumstances were

:18:31. > :18:35.very far from normal. We needed speed, we needed certainty

:18:36. > :18:39.and we needed size and, looking back on it, I have to say,

:18:40. > :18:43.given the extreme fragility of the sentiment in the markets

:18:44. > :18:47.at that time, I am very glad indeed that we managed to raise the capital

:18:48. > :18:51.that we did raise at that time. Government ministers at the time

:18:52. > :18:53.have a different explanation. Barclays did not want

:18:54. > :18:55.to have anything to do I believe that was partly

:18:56. > :19:00.because of a political view that this would look like creeping

:19:01. > :19:04.nationalisation and also, quite frankly, because the UK

:19:05. > :19:06.Government's money came with quite Now, if it's proven that crimes

:19:07. > :19:14.were committed here, to some it still won't be clear

:19:15. > :19:17.who the victims were. Customers weren't affected,

:19:18. > :19:21.the taxpayer didn't have to shell out and shareholders in Barclays did

:19:22. > :19:24.better than shareholders in RBS or Lloyds, but others will say rules

:19:25. > :19:28.are rules and if this approach of prosecuting individuals

:19:29. > :19:33.as well as institutions helps change a stubborn culture throughout

:19:34. > :19:35.banking of not following those Now we're starting to move to a more

:19:36. > :19:40.American approach where individuals are in the frame for doing things

:19:41. > :19:45.wrong within the business world. That is likely to concentrate

:19:46. > :19:47.people's minds and make them think about -

:19:48. > :19:50.is what I'm about to do a really sensible thing if it's

:19:51. > :19:54.going to be me standing in the dock? Fraud convictions can carry

:19:55. > :19:56.sentences of up to ten years, Roger Jenkins and another defendant,

:19:57. > :20:03.Richard Boath, have said they will John Varley is yet to comment

:20:04. > :20:08.and Barclays, the company, said Britain is heading for its longest

:20:09. > :20:20.heatwave since 1995, according to the Met Office,

:20:21. > :20:22.and it's possible that tomorrow could be the hottest June

:20:23. > :20:27.day since 1976. But there's also a risk of very

:20:28. > :20:30.heavy rain or thunderstorms. Extreme weather is also

:20:31. > :20:32.causing problems in other countries including France,

:20:33. > :20:39.Spain and Portugal and our science editor, David Shukman,

:20:40. > :20:45.has been Considering the latest evidence on

:20:46. > :20:54.these volatile weather conditions. The terrifying sight of one

:20:55. > :20:57.of the most aggressive forest fires As a heatwave took hold,

:21:09. > :21:11.according to this man. "It all happened in

:21:12. > :21:13.just a few seconds." Here in Britain, the heatwave

:21:34. > :21:37.in which hot air has been flowing towards us from record-breaking

:21:38. > :21:42.conditions in southern Europe. The heatwave in Britain is not

:21:43. > :21:44.exceptional, but it does come as temperatures

:21:45. > :21:46.on average are rising. The Met Office says that we're

:21:47. > :21:49.getting more hot days and more hot nights and the warm nights make it

:21:50. > :21:54.hard to sleep and also mean buildings and streets

:21:55. > :21:57.don't cool down. The scientists say we'd

:21:58. > :21:59.better get used to this. The UN climate panel says

:22:00. > :22:02.more heatwaves are very likely and a new study,

:22:03. > :22:04.just published, says 48% of the world's population face

:22:05. > :22:07.deadly heatwaves by the end of the century and that's assuming

:22:19. > :22:21.of the busiest in the world, some planes are grounded

:22:22. > :22:23.because the temperature reached 48 degrees Celsius and that's too

:22:24. > :22:26.hot for them to fly, Global temperatures are rising,

:22:27. > :22:32.largely due to our emissions of carbon dioxide and other

:22:33. > :22:35.greenhouse gases That means that our average

:22:36. > :22:39.temperatures in the UK, Which means that when we get

:22:40. > :22:44.the weather conditions for causing a heatwave,

:22:45. > :22:47.like we're seeing now, it means that heatwave is hotter

:22:48. > :22:50.and we're going to see more of them. With heat warnings across Europe,

:22:56. > :23:01.of coping with a heatwave, fans are in huge demand in Portugal,

:23:05. > :23:06.will soon seem normal. The incoming leader of Hong Kong has

:23:29. > :23:35.editor, Carrie Gracie. 20 years since Hong Kong returned

:23:36. > :23:38.to China, and its leaders are often They're chosen not by the public,

:23:39. > :23:44.but by an establishment committee, How can you claim to represent

:23:45. > :23:51.all the people of Hong Kong Well, I don't think

:23:52. > :23:55.it is a question of a number. I know perception is important,

:23:56. > :24:04.but to say that I am just a puppet, I won this election

:24:05. > :24:09.because of pro-Beijing forces is, sort of, a failure to acknowledge

:24:10. > :24:13.what I have done in Hong Kong over I have pledged that,

:24:14. > :24:20.as part of my governance style, I will be engaging all sectors

:24:21. > :24:22.of the community, Three years ago, young people

:24:23. > :24:32.made their own effort to engage with a massive democracy protest

:24:33. > :24:35.that brought the heart of Hong Kong They won nothing, and now some say

:24:36. > :24:41.the only way to get democracy Beijing sees such calls as a threat

:24:42. > :24:48.to national security. I think Hong Kong is

:24:49. > :24:50.an inseparable part You think so, what if other

:24:51. > :24:58.Hong Kong citizens disagree? What if they wanted

:24:59. > :25:01.to call for independence? They disagree in the form

:25:02. > :25:04.of being an expression of personal opinion,

:25:05. > :25:06.then everybody could have a view. But whether that expressing a view

:25:07. > :25:13.constitutes an offence, then we'll have to look

:25:14. > :25:15.at what the law says. We'll have to look

:25:16. > :25:19.at what the law says. Can you promise the people

:25:20. > :25:22.of Hong Kong that never in your tenure will someone go

:25:23. > :25:24.to jail for calling for autonomy, Well, I can promise the people

:25:25. > :25:31.of Hong Kong that we will abide So that's a no, you can't

:25:32. > :25:35.make the promise? How can you promise when you don't

:25:36. > :25:42.know the actual situation, when you don't know the actual

:25:43. > :25:45.legislation in Hong Kong and to give a, sort of,

:25:46. > :25:48.perpetual situation answer, I don't think that is a very

:25:49. > :25:53.fair question to ask. China's influence in

:25:54. > :25:55.Hong Kong is growing - Last year there was public outrage

:25:56. > :26:03.over the suspected abductions of publishers whose books

:26:04. > :26:06.were critical of Chinese leaders. They were held on the mainland

:26:07. > :26:09.and forced to make Even after their return

:26:10. > :26:14.to Hong Kong, most have stayed The Hong Kong police force have been

:26:15. > :26:21.working on this case and trying to collect evidence and come

:26:22. > :26:24.to a view. But unfortunately,

:26:25. > :26:26.without the co-operation of the people involved,

:26:27. > :26:28.it's just not possible. So do you think it's possible

:26:29. > :26:31.that those Hong Kong citizens are afraid to speak up

:26:32. > :26:33.about what happened to them, So how many Hong Kong citizens need

:26:34. > :26:40.to disappear before you start to draw any conclusions

:26:41. > :26:42.about what might be We are not here to quantify

:26:43. > :26:53.that sort of allegation, but if there are worries that have

:26:54. > :26:57.been undue interference into Hong Kong affairs,

:26:58. > :26:59.which should come under a high degree of autonomy, then

:27:00. > :27:02.the Chief Executive has to reflect those sentiments and speak up

:27:03. > :27:04.on behalf of the people. So would it be fair to imagine that

:27:05. > :27:09.you might have a conversation with President Xi which goes -

:27:10. > :27:12.please, make sure that no security services from the mainland operate

:27:13. > :27:14.undercover on Hong Kong soil? Will you be having

:27:15. > :27:16.that conversation? I will be very honoured

:27:17. > :27:18.to have a conversation with President Xi on occasions,

:27:19. > :27:22.hopefully on the 1st July. Carrie Lam, thank you so

:28:31. > :28:35.shocks in the tournament's history and for Murray,

:28:36. > :28:37.plenty to think about. Obviously, I didn't play

:28:38. > :28:40.how I would like today and that's something that,

:28:41. > :28:43.you know, I'll speak to about with my team, get back

:30:27. > :30:29.out-of-body experience? I know it's working when I'll

:30:30. > :30:35.have the least to do with it, where you're just clinging

:30:36. > :30:38.on for dear life. I obviously have devices

:31:03. > :31:05.state at the moment. You're either making a $200 million,

:31:06. > :31:08.or you're making a movie for $5 million and there's very

:31:09. > :31:10.little in between. So you can't make the movies

:31:11. > :31:13.you necessarily want to make? I think it's more difficult to find

:31:14. > :31:16.them, yes, much more difficult. I mean, look, I couldn't

:31:17. > :31:17.make American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead,

:31:18. > :31:19.Revolutionary Road now and release them in cinemas,

:31:20. > :31:23.nobody would pay for them. Maybe it's the case of film's
