:14:15. > :14:17.Well, let's talk to our Political Correpondent Ben Wright
:14:18. > :14:23.and our Europe Correspondent, Damian Grammaticas.
:14:24. > :14:42.Can the UK be forced to speed a Brexit timetable up. We've had a
:14:43. > :14:48.statement making things clear. The process will only begin if there is
:14:49. > :14:54.a formal notification in a speech to leaders here. When he comes next
:14:55. > :15:00.week, if he simply chats about it in the margins, that will not happen.
:15:01. > :15:08.Secondly, negotiations about that withdrawal will only begin after
:15:09. > :15:14.that. Intriguingly, it adds, if it is the intention of the UK to leave
:15:15. > :15:20.the EU it is in its interests to notify it as quickly as possible.
:15:21. > :15:23.Intriguing because of that word if. Is there wiggle room? It is clear
:15:24. > :15:36.that the ball is in the UK's court. Thank you, after yesterday's
:15:37. > :15:40.excitement it seems like today is an anti-climax. Some of the demands we
:15:41. > :15:43.are hearing from European politicians, today has been
:15:44. > :15:47.strangely quiet in British politics after the referendum earthquake and
:15:48. > :15:51.there are several reasons. The first is that politicians, government
:15:52. > :15:54.ministers, the leave campaigners and politicians have simply gone to
:15:55. > :15:59.ground because they are so dazed about what has happened. They are
:16:00. > :16:03.coming to terms with the new reality for Vote Leave leaders. There is no
:16:04. > :16:06.road map for what happens next. They are having to regroup, have
:16:07. > :16:10.conversations between themselves and make a plan. Secondly, the Prime
:16:11. > :16:14.Minister's decision not to invoke Article 50 while he remains in
:16:15. > :16:18.office, not until the autumn and there is another Prime Minister, has
:16:19. > :16:22.brought a window of breathing space for everybody to think. And as
:16:23. > :16:26.Damien said, it is clear the decision to invoke Article 50 will
:16:27. > :16:29.be the responsibility of the new Prime Minister. Thirdly, there is a
:16:30. > :16:32.Tory party leadership contest coming up and the contenders for that will
:16:33. > :16:36.want to make the deal that Britain gets part of their pitch to the Tory
:16:37. > :16:40.faithful. The resignation of Lord Hill today shows the separation
:16:41. > :16:42.between the EU and the UK has started. Divorce, though, will not
:16:43. > :16:50.be quick and will not be easy. Ben Wright at Westminster and Damian
:16:51. > :16:51.Grammaticas in Brussels, many thanks.
:16:52. > :16:54.The BBC understands HSBC bank will move up to 1,000 staff
:16:55. > :17:02.from London to Paris, if Britain leaves the Single Market.
:17:03. > :17:04.The relocated workers process payments made in euros for the bank.
:17:05. > :17:06.The announcement comes amid fresh warnings of the possible
:17:07. > :17:08.impact of the Brexit vote on London's financial institutions.
:17:09. > :17:10.Here's our Economics Correspondent Andy Verity.
:17:11. > :17:13.Voters were warned a Brexit would hit the City and it
:17:14. > :17:17.Today we learned that HSBC is making plans to shift 1000 workers to Paris
:17:18. > :17:19.if trade talks don't work out as it hopes.
:17:20. > :17:22.US investment banks JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley
:17:23. > :17:32.The leading Eurozone finance ministers said
:17:33. > :17:38.TRANSLATION: In the Asian market, for example, the Brits took
:17:39. > :17:41.out a full-page advert in the Financial Times and the ad
:17:42. > :17:44.said: if you want to do business in Europe, come to London
:17:45. > :17:49.If Asians want to do business in Europe, they should
:17:50. > :17:51.come to Amsterdam, or Frankfurt, or Paris.
:17:52. > :17:59.Why should the rest of the country care if the City loses some
:18:00. > :18:01.of the business it does for the Eurozone?
:18:02. > :18:04.Well, it's not just a few thousand jobs, it's also tax money
:18:05. > :18:08.The Treasury would have to find that from somewhere else,
:18:09. > :18:10.either by deeper spending cuts or by higher taxes
:18:11. > :18:14.It could have to find even more money if our credit
:18:15. > :18:19.Something the rating agency Moody's is considering.

:18:23. > :18:28.British companies export around ?20 billion of financial services
:18:29. > :18:34.So-called passporting rights mean they can do business easily
:18:35. > :18:39.Losing those rights would hurt, but still wouldn't cause an exodus.
:18:40. > :18:43.Banks are not going to flee en masse from the City.
:18:44. > :18:46.What banks are going to do is actually when they develop
:18:47. > :18:48.new areas, new departments, they may well find other areas
:18:49. > :18:50.to place them, maybe Dublin, maybe Frankfurt.
:18:51. > :18:53.So it means after three or four years, you look back
:18:54. > :18:57.and you suddenly find there are areas of the bank,
:18:58. > :19:00.areas of the City, which are no longer here, they've gone elsewhere.
:19:01. > :19:02.So it won't happen immediately, it happens over time.
:19:03. > :19:08.One chink of light in the gathering City gloom, financial services firms
:19:09. > :19:12.could keep all of their business in the Single Market if we struck

:24:45. > :24:47.disappointing. I thought we gave everything, couldn't have asked any
:24:48. > :24:51.more from the players over the whole tournament. At it is in form Wales
:24:52. > :24:55.after their third win of the competition whose remarkable journey

:25:29. > :25:28.and will now believe they can go all the way.

:25:33. > :25:34.a sensational season with an historic 3-0 series
:25:35. > :25:40.whitewash over Australia. Scotland were also successful
:25:41. > :25:45.in their tour of Japan. But there were defeats for Wales
:25:46. > :25:47.and Ireland. Adam Wild round-ups all
:25:48. > :25:49.of the day's action. On the other side of the world,

:25:53. > :26:01.but this is a side that wanted their That is all Australia
:26:02. > :26:05.had to play for. But a thrilling first half made way
:26:06. > :26:12.for a quite dizzying second. Overall, the lead was taken
:26:13. > :26:15.and lost no fewer than ten times. The decisive moments
:26:16. > :26:17.came from an England boot. Jamie George seeing the ball rebound
:26:18. > :26:22.into his path to score. The boot of Owen Farrell
:26:23. > :26:24.doing the rest. The first touring side
:26:25. > :26:26.to complete such a complete series victory in Australia
:26:27. > :26:29.for a generation. It secures their status

:26:42. > :26:43.the All Blacks providing Japan are
:26:44. > :26:47.an emerging force in the game. They took the lead against
:26:48. > :26:52.a disjointed Scotland. Seemingly to the approval
:26:53. > :26:55.of the Emperor and Empress. Scotland couldn't find
:26:56. > :26:59.a try of their own. Seven penalties, though,
:27:00. > :27:01.was just enough for victory. For Ireland, they let
:27:02. > :27:03.slip their chance to create The series decider ending in narrow,
:27:04. > :27:15.agonising defeat and frustration. You can see more on all of today's
