:04:46. > :04:51.new capabilities like air power is one of the key arguments the US

:04:56. > :04:59.considering sending up to 4,000 more troops here. Nato allies will add a

:05:42. > :05:45.years of war, the Taliban controls 10% of the country and contests
:05:46. > :05:50.another third. Meanwhile, Islamic State and Al-Qaeda are also active.
:05:51. > :05:53.So pull out and the insurgency will flourish, which is why the American
:05:54. > :05:59.military has concluded that slowly strengthening Afghan forces is the
:06:00. > :06:03.only real option. The hope is that eventually, they will be strong
:06:04. > :06:06.enough to force the Taliban to the negotiating table. It's no victory,
:06:07. > :06:09.but it's better than the alternative. The question now is
:06:10. > :06:17.whether President Trump agrees. You might remember last week
:06:18. > :06:19.we talked about protests in Poland - they were being held
:06:20. > :06:22.because the Polish parliament had passed three controversial judicial
:06:23. > :06:24.reforms that amongst other things, would have allowed members
:06:25. > :06:26.of Parliament to pick Now this man - the Polish president
:06:27. > :06:51.- has vetoed two of them. TRANSLATION: Poland needs to reform
:06:52. > :06:53.its justice system. I support that, absolutely, but I support wise
:06:54. > :06:58.reform, one that will ensure the system works well and increases the
:06:59. > :07:02.sense of justice in the country. As President, I feel this deeply in my
:07:03. > :07:05.soul, so it's my responsibility to say this reform does not increase
:07:06. > :07:06.the sense of security and justice in Poland.
:07:07. > :07:09.Bear in mind the European Union had threatened Poland with sanctions
:07:10. > :07:16.Earlier I spoke to a journalist following the story
:07:17. > :07:23.I asked her what had pushed the president to do this.
:07:24. > :07:32.I think it was the massive protests all around Poland which took place
:07:33. > :07:35.in the past few days that really pushed the president to veto the two
:07:36. > :07:41.bills out of the disputed three judiciary bills. What would those
:07:42. > :07:46.bills have meant? Is this essentially all about the
:07:47. > :07:52.independence of the judiciary? Yes, exactly, those two bills that the
:07:53. > :07:59.president vetoed meant that, if passed, the Minister of Justice
:08:00. > :08:03.would be able to retire all the previous judges of the Supreme
:08:04. > :08:09.Court, just make the ones he liked stay, and appoint new judges, so
:08:10. > :08:13.that would infringe upon... I mean that would threaten the division of
:08:14. > :08:17.powers. What has been the reaction to the President's action and how
:08:18. > :08:25.much of a surprise was it that he did this? It was a great surprise. I
:08:26. > :08:31.don't think even the protesters expected that the president would
:08:32. > :08:38.veto any of the bills, so it was a positive reaction amongst those who
:08:39. > :08:41.protested and a -1 in the Government camp, as the Government seems to
:08:42. > :08:47.have not been expecting that either -- and a negative one. The
:08:48. > :08:51.Government itself has been reacting in the last hour or so. Yes, there
:08:52. > :08:55.have been to national addresses, one by the president and the second one
:08:56. > :09:00.by the Prime Minister. Whereas the President just reviewed what he said
:09:01. > :09:05.in the morning, vetoing the bills, the Prime Minister said that the
:09:06. > :09:13.President's decision is a bit of a setback but that she will continue
:09:14. > :09:17.the "Positive change". But it was really a vague statement as she
:09:18. > :09:19.couldn't propose any new steps and it was a bit of a surprise for her
:09:20. > :09:25.as well, I think. Thank you. Now, for sports fans out there,
:09:26. > :09:28.I'm sure you've not moved far Lets go straight to Salford and
:09:29. > :09:36.catch up on what's been happening. Mark Edwards is there. Mark, first
:09:37. > :09:40.of all, a remarkable golfing achievement for a not quite
:09:41. > :09:46.24-year-old. Yes, incredible and actually, he

:10:07. > :10:11.from Gary Player, who calls him the best putter he has ever seen, quite

:10:30. > :10:35.on a run of eagle, birdie, birdie before a par to win by three shots

:17:44. > :17:50.want Britain to leave the EU or not, let's consider if Brexit is
:17:51. > :17:54.inevitable. Yes, the Brexit talks have begun but since June, the shock
:17:55. > :17:59.election result, it's a question some people are asking. I'm
:18:00. > :18:04.beginning to think you know that Brexit may never happen. Of Of
:18:05. > :18:08.course the door remains open, until the Brexit negotiations come to an
:18:09. > :18:17.end. The German finance minister said,... And Nigel Farage is
:18:18. > :18:22.worried. Well, I have to say that the mood music since the general
:18:23. > :18:28.election has been alarming. All of which has left quite a few people
:18:29. > :18:32.asking, is this definitely on? In some cases, this may be that wishful
:18:33. > :18:35.thinking of those who wish to remain but there are also Brexit supporters
:18:36. > :18:39.who worry that the referendum result will not be seen through. Theresa
:18:40. > :18:44.May said the snap election was called to deliver stability, but
:18:45. > :18:48.that didn't happen and the political volatility that followed has fuelled
:18:49. > :18:51.interest in our question. So I'm going to break this down into the
:18:52. > :18:56.law, the politics and the practicalities. These three will
:18:57. > :19:02.make or break Brexit. First, the law. As you know, in a referendum in
:19:03. > :19:06.2016, the UK voted to leave. This wasn't legally binding, because
:19:07. > :19:11.Parliament is sovereign in the UK. That's why, earlier this year,
:19:12. > :19:18.Parliament gave its support. The "ayes" have it. The "ayes" have it.
:19:19. > :19:21.To undo that, another Parliamentary vote would be necessary, but no
:19:22. > :19:27.party are suggesting that. From the EU side of things, the UK had to
:19:28. > :19:31.trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and has done that, so the
:19:32. > :19:36.process of exiting has begun. The law matters in the X process but it
:19:37. > :19:39.doesn't matter as much as politics. British politics has been tumble
:19:40. > :19:44.dried by Brexit, parties pulled this way and that and emerged tangled up,
:19:45. > :19:50.disorientated, hot and bothered. Brexit, Trump and Macron have taught
:19:51. > :19:54.us that predicting politics is a precarious undertaking, so who knows
:19:55. > :19:59.what comes next? But there are two major things which could, in theory,
:20:00. > :20:03.stop Brexit. Another general election is one. As all parties say
:20:04. > :20:07.they respect the result of the referendum, Brexit looks highly
:20:08. > :20:10.likely whatever the result. Even the Greens and the Liberal Democrats,
:20:11. > :20:15.two parties that want to stay in the EU, are both careful to stress they
:20:16. > :20:18.respect last year's vote. Vince Cable, the Lib Dem leader, is not
:20:19. > :20:25.saying Brexit shouldn't happen, just that it might not happen. These two
:20:26. > :20:30.parties also advocate our next scenario. A second referendum on the
:20:31. > :20:33.terms of the Brexit deal. But even in the very unlikely event that one
:20:34. > :20:38.was called, we don't know which way that would go. So technically, it is
:20:39. > :20:41.possible that the politics of Brexit could change and that it could be
:20:42. > :20:47.stopped and that the EU shows every sign of being open to that, I would
:20:48. > :20:50.be putting any money on that outcome. Lastly, there is the
:20:51. > :20:55.timescale. Many doubt all of this can be done in the two-year period
:20:56. > :20:57.set by the EU. Concern about timescale exists because there are
:20:58. > :21:01.certainly elements of this relationship that need untangling
:21:02. > :21:05.and resetting. These are just some of the areas that have to be
:21:06. > :21:10.resolved. Even the Brexit secretary David Davis has accepted that some
:21:11. > :21:14.transitional arrangements may be needed. Brexiteers argued this is a
:21:15. > :21:19.surmountable challenge, but it is a question mark against the process
:21:20. > :21:23.and the odds being offered at British bookmakers on a delayed
