kingdom the banks were bailed out by the taxpayer so the united kingdom came in and they rescued royal bank of scotland they rescued lloyds they rescued northern rock all these banks that collapse they took care of them they took over and they all therefore they have zombie banks they have zombie companies they have the quantitative easing in negative interest rate policy insert all that stuff is kept zombie company but as you know michel say in the second half royal bank of scotland as part of their belly they turned around and they killed tens of thousands of british small to medium enterprises the s. i mean these and smash and grab and took that money for them some exactly why they don't have any friction growth in wages because they've got predatory oil bank of scholars it's right in the name isn't it yet it's not just wages g.d.p. it's output is actual things that you create cars. you know products widgets televisions furnace is lights. art finance like things like that they are producing less the ordinary worker goes in for eight hours a day and they produce less the other thing

-united kingdom trade agreement. as he speak, i think president trump and prime minister may are doing their press conference after their meeting today, but does this change the eu's calculus at all or how does this impact how the eu is looking at this next stage of negotiations? michel: elizabeth, i am charged with the e.u. negotiations for the brexit of the u.k. and i am in charge of the negotiations with the uk. eu/uk. uk/eu. elizabeth: i get that. [laughter] michel:so it's not my role to comment on going declarations just for right now, there is a press conference between president trump and theresa may. i don't want to comment. as a matter of fact, factually i can just say that the rule is clear and well known by everybody, including the uk because we have elaborated this rule with the uk for 44 years. we are working on the basis of -- as i just said in my speech, an ambitious free trade agreement with the u.k. for two grilli, as we did with canada in the last few months. as far as the trade policy is concerned,

kingdom and no question of getting through the united kingdom? prime minister may: what i have been and said on many, many occasions that one of the targets, one of the aims that i have in relation to the negotiations that we have to ensure we retain the united kingdom together, i believe that is important. so i will be looking to ensure we are to maintain -- as i said in response to earlier questions. >> that's fine. prime minister may: we will have to consider what action we take. >> they are planning for an invisible frontier in northern ireland. prime minister may: the issue of what happened in relation to that is an element that we have to be looking at as we are undertaking the no-deal planning. the work that is being undertaken across departments. [indiscernible] prime minister may: i'm being careful in answering because i have already answered a question like that and i don't want a misunderstanding. >> is the government planning invisible rontier, customs frontier? prime minister may: as we look at the no-deal planning, one of the elemen

>> what matters is what money comes to the united kingdom. the two elements of having a formula, a tear revenue formula, an agreement with the european union which relates the sums of money that are due from one side to the other in the movement of goods. >> what happens, who is going to pay the extra money when the goods arrive in spain or italy or are we going to have to charge them when they get transferred across from spain across to the uk? how are we going to make sure they pay their tariffs? first of all the land to be requirement on businesses to ensure they are paying the correct tariffs. i think what i'm saying is the overall concern for united kingdom is to ensure the arrangement we have with european union is relevant to and reflects the flow of goods and the nature of tariffs that are relevant in relation to goods coming from different places and that money is therefore able to be exchanged. >> but you can exchange money that's not been paid so i still don't understand, the importer, when are they paying the extra tariff? if we p

kingdom and caught them in the -- kept them in the kingdom -- the united kingdom would have been unacceptable. >> the compromise and trade-offs. what is the compromised position and the business and jobs of the heart of any brexit? that is in the heart of the the primenterest and minister has the ability to deliver in the national interest. >> can i say that i have had a number of conversations and the implication is that i feel there with theations at pace balkan summit and there is the nato summit. i believe there is a plan that is good for the united kingdom and it is a plan that the union will see is in both of our interest. the prime minister .o have rational and human fear why doesn't she save us in the country the misery and grief by -plus optione e.u. ? >> i don't think that option is right for the united kingdom given the infractions in which the eu has welcomed a very generous offer so far, what is the date that is a dropdead talks aresay that the not progressive and we will definitely be going towards world trade terms? friendsure my honorable has been in enough negotiations to kno

uncertainty,rexit we saw a record amount of money coming into united kingdom. tech funds last year i cannot tell you what would've in if brexit had occurred, would it have been more, but as it stands, london is still the number one tech hub in all of europe. emily: so, mike, in europe in particular, what are you bullish on? mike: one of the areas that the united kingdom helps a lot is that we were very early in the fintech field, we started early in that sector. one of our companies just went public, another one was robin hood, and the united kingdom really helped us in that context. we do like commerce and retail, companies like "far-fetched" and "at sea fear: tsy." another area we like is mobility and transport, sort of "door --" for american audiences, but wasting the united kingdom. we are also investing in these e-scooters, self-driving car's, we continue to invest in those sectors deeply. also ai and other technology sectors. emily: let us start with e-commerce. amazon's ambitions in seem they're ambitions seem to have no bounds. are you concerned about a

supporting jobs in the united kingdom. it will continue in the future. i believe the plan which i set out, it is clear momentum for trade with the european union while giving the freedom around the world will be one welcomed by businesses and investors and we will see more investment and more jobs in the uk. >> among the matters agreed in the communiquc, there was reference of course to the continuing obligation of the government to the backstop arrangement so-called, can the prime minister make it very clear, i've heard a very clear statement about the union as is concerned i welcome, can she make it clear as far as the backstop is concerned, she stands by her rejection of the eu legal interpretation and there will be no constitutional political or regulatory differences between northern island and the rest of the united kingdom? >> i say to the right honorable gentlemen, as he has invited me to do i'm happy to say i continue to reject the protocol proposal of the so-called backstop that was put forward by the european union earlier this year. the fact

the european court of justice will not have jurisdiction over the united kingdom. and this parliament will make sovereign decisions make a decision when the withdrawal and implementation bills are brought before this house as to whether this parliament is willing to accept the deal that is been negotiated and thereof, it will be up to this parliament to decide whether it agrees with any changes in rules or any laws that this parliament wants to pass. taking back control of our laws and that is what the people want and what we will do. >> esktsively killing off the trade agreement by agreeing to retain eu regulatory convergence, which of course the americans cannot accept. could i also echo the call she just heard to say now she's lost the support of her brexit fundamentalist and now is the time to have a national consensus, majority in the house who do support our retaining membership of the customs union single market, the original common market, whatever name or label she wants to attach. >> can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, staying in the single market

scotland is part of the united kingdom, scotland is at the heart of the united kingdom and ultimately that's what the right honourable gentleman objects to. david mundell. mps have expressed serious concern about the demolition of a village in the west bank. israel says the buildings in khan al—amar were built without the relevant building permits and pose a threat to residents because they're close to a highway. but labour's richard burden called the demolition a war crime. people who live in these villages threatened no one. their crime is to have homes on land that israel wants to expand the illegal settlements. speaking plainly, it is state—sponsored theft. the timing and the action itself is deeply concerning. nothing is yet irrevocable, and in terms of what we are doing we are in a conversation already with like—minded european partners about what should be done next. for the actions of the netanyahu government rendered the solution to a geographical impossibility. this is the time for the united kingdom to lead the major nations of the world and recognising the palestinia

to the united kingdom. no two countries do more together than ours their people and prosperous and we want to deepen cooperation even further to meet the shared challenges we face now years ahead. this morning president, and i visited planter where he saw a demonstration of joint workings between british and american special forces. of what is today, the most advanced securitycooperation of a few countries in the world . whether it is our plan determining the use of chemical weapons or defeating ^ our soldiers the forefront of nato's presence in eastern europe our navies and forcing sections for our unparalleled intelligence sharing partnership forcing, our security cooperation is saving lives here and in britain and america and across the world. is set to grow without is integrated to a level anywhere. and the uk to spend 4 billion pounds on us equipment over the next decade. today we also discussed how we candeepen our together to respond to the state activity , terrorism and serious crime and in particul

as we pursue oui’ looking united kingdom. as we pursue our modern industrial strategy government working with business and academia to boost productivity, invest in science and research and create more good jobs, making the most of rapidly changing technology. as believe the european union, and go out to strike new trade deals around the world, open up new markets for the great products and services of our innovators andn‘tn‘t —— entrepreneurs, services of our innovators andn'tn't —— entrepreneurs, as we face the challenges of the future together and draw on thelet talents and resources of every part of our united kingdom, to overcome them. and that, of course, includes northern ireland. its culture landscape is dynamic, vibrant and its culture landscape is dynamic, vibra nt and wholly its culture landscape is dynamic, vibrant and wholly original. northern ireland is a tv and cinema powerhouse, supported by uk government tax policy, to support the film industry. 0ver government tax policy, to support the film indu

is completely unacceptable to the united kingdom. delivering a result is always going to involve a series of compromises and trade-offs. what is the compromised position and the business and jobs of the heart of any brexit? that is in the heart of the national interest and the prime minister has the ability to deliver in the national interest. is she able to say when we expect to have the initial reaction from the european union after the publication of the white paper on thursday? pm may: can i say to my right honorable friend that i have had a number of conversations and the implication is that i feel there is negotiations at pace with the balkan summit and there is the nato summit. i believe there is a plan that is good for the united kingdom and it is a plan that the union will see is in both of our interests. >> i believe the prime minister to be a rational human being. so why doesn't she save us a good deal of misery and grief e.u.-plus option to this house in a free vote? pm may: as i indicated, the reason i believe that is no

first official visit to the united kingdom. no two countries do more together than ours to keep their people safe and prosperous. and we want to deepen that cooperation even further. to meet the shared challenges we face now and in years ahead. this morning, president trump and i visited sandhurst, where we saw a demonstration of joint working between british and american special forces. just one example of what is today the broadest, deepest and most advanced security cooperation of any two countries in the world. whether it is our pilots deterring the use of chemical weapons in syria or defeating daesh, our soldiers at the owe forefront of nato's preparation in eastern europe. our navys in the pacific, or our unparalleled intelligence sharing partnership thwarting attacks, our security cooperation is saving lives here in britain, in america and right across the world. that partnership is set to grow. with our armies integrating to a level unmatched anywhere. and the uk set to spend $24 billion pounds on u.s. equipment and sup

we ought to unite the united kingdom by getting the best deal for this country and our european friends. keir starmer. let me follow on. given the threat that has been issued by the honourable member for wycombe, the burning question that the secretary of state is going to be asked again and again in this house, across the country, and i've no doubt by michel barnier, later today, is whether he personally is prepared to face down that threat. what's the answer? i have to say to the honourable gentleman i am not interested in the media circus or any of the drama. we have proper scrutiny in this house and what we are relentlessly and unflinchingly focused on, and i am sure our european partners will be the same, is narrowing the differences, accentuating the positive and getting a win—win deal, good for good for this country, good for our european friends. he should get behind that effort. it wasn't long before steve baker himself rose to ask a question — and there was something tongue in cheek about what he chose to ask. given that hmrc make available online the documentation for the

we talked about investments into the united kingdom. at lester the united kingdom remained a preferred country for investment. in europe and the preferred country and europe. we saw last year 76,000 jobs being created as a result of foreign investments here in the united kingdom. more jobs are being created than in the previous year. and if you want to talk about business just look at the fact that this month we've seen 2.3 billion pounds of investments being there. and the more examples i could give them. he should listen to scottish business. stay in the united kingdom. thank you mister speaker. for my success of managing that. i will be running a 10k road race. this is an event that has raised thousands of pounds of for local charities in my constituency. would they think of the organizers in particular for the organization what they offer her congratulations. can i take a chance to have the honorable friend. i'm very happy to join him in pushing that out. with the rosary club. all of those for taking part in this. they are doing thi

the united kingdom and the united states are bound together by a common historic heritage, language, and heroes. the traditions of freedom, sovereignty and the true rule of law were our shared gift to the world. they are now our priceless inheritance to a civilization. we must never cease to be united in their defense and in their renewal. before our dinner last night, melania and i joined prime minister may, mr. may, and the duke and duchess of marl bro for a tour of the winston churchill exhibit at blenheim palace. it was something, something very special. it was from right here at checks that are prime minister churchill phoned president roosevelt after pearl harbor, in that horrific war american and british service members bravely shed their blood alongside one another in defense of home and in defense of freedom. and together we achieved a really special, magnificent victory. and it was total victory. prime minister may and i have just come from a very productive nato summit. that was truly a productive summit. where my top priority was getting other nato members to pay their fu

is mostly in large parts pharmaceuticals it's in terms of the united states shipping to the united kingdom it's mostly cars and it goes in reverse with aircraft and aircraft parts now. the e.u. is still in negotiation with britain and what ching everything that happened here in europe especially mr trump in the last couple of days what is the sentiment towards the end of the week where you are. well certainly the last couple of days haven't made things easier it was a terrible week here in terms of the negotiations with first with david davis get out of the government being replaced by another hard line of then we had chaos and entirely in sewing and when boris johnson left the government too and now looking at the white paper of course we see that a lot of details here look more like britain wants to move towards softer breck said rather than a hard and of course now the united states away in the way donald trump just did certainly doesn't make it easier for the parties to negotiate their reporting for us from frankfurt thank you so much. now when washington's tariffs against china took e

kingdom and the united states are also strengthening cooperation between our armed forces who served together in battlefields all around the world today the prime minister and i viewed several u.s. u.k. special forces demonstration. we saw some demonstrations today frankly that were incredible the talent of these young brave strong people. we saw it at the royal military academy at sandhurst seamless cooperation between our militaries is really just vital to addressing the many shared security threats we have threats far different than we've ever had before they've always been out there but these are different and they're severe and we will handle them well we also recognize the vital importance of border security and immigration control in order to prevent foreign acts of terrorism within our shores we must prevent terrorists and their supporters from gaining admission in the first place border security is a national security problem and in the united states we are working very hard to get the democrats to give us a couple of votes so we can pass meaningful and powerful border secur

so at the moment, tech united kingdom, a key voice for the sector is saying we are worried. emily: how likely is it that this deal, you know, it is clear that prime minister's party is behind her, but how likely is it that the deal will be accepted in the u k and by eu lawmakers? caroline: at the moment, it is not very likely. it is believed already coming from michel barnier. he is a key negotiator on behalf of the eu and he is already sounded off today, that he doesn't like the sound and the smell of what is being proposed at the moment. i might add, at the moment, all we have is three pieces of paper coming from the united kingdom government. we don't have the actual white paper which is some 200 pages, but as it stands, the fact the u.k. has thought of trying to cherry pick here, wanting to have a free trade agreement in terms of goods but not services, there are saying look, that is not cool. what we want is if you want to opt in to our single market, i am afraid that you have to allow the free movement of people, n -- capital, goods and services. you cannot pick and ch

special relationship as it were between the united kingdom and the united states just how special is it when the american president arrives and publicly bashes you well i think that the u.k. i have to say i think a slightly slightly prime ministers are obsessed with this so-called special relationship the coin the phrase was first coined by winston churchill in the one nine hundred forty s. and every prime minister has tried to hold on to it to prove that we have a very very special relationship with the us in reality is there really a special relationship i'm not so sure i think. they have always been difficulties between the two however where they are very strong is over military negotiation over how they fight terrorism how they share intelligence and i think that was really a binds the two countries together and will continue to do so and so whatever may be saying that behind the scenes those are the two things that the diplomats that those in intelligence will know what keep those two countries together and they can't afford to let that go. forrest whiting stay with us we're goi

the united kingdom, but certainly of the united states and the united kingdom. so it is complicated, but i think that there is a recognition that regardless, this is a very significant relationship and this visit has got to take place, and the conversation will focus on some of those very key foreign policy issues, trade, russia, middle east, iran, so those discussions will be taking place and i think there is a very serious commitment to working with the united states. and mark, an important moment for protest politics, too, because there is a substantial section of society here in the uk that says, no, you have got to look at who is in the office, not just the office got to look at who is in the office, notjust the office of president of the united states, but who is in that office. and as far as they are concerned, president trump goes beyond the pale on a number of levels and the think it is unacceptable that he is here. how powerful are these protests going to be? you have got to take this on two levels. tom has said he is aware of the protests and is quite

we begin with the latest on the donald trump's visit to the united kingdom and friday has been his busiest day so far he held talks with the british prime minister to resume a two then held a news conference and took questions windsor castle was next he and first lady melania had tea with the queen on a busy day two for protesters tens of thousands came out in central london more on that in just a moment but first to jonah how in. state visit but the next best thing i suppose. yes a working visit nick it was billed as how's it gone well it's not over yet of course he's up in scotland for the weekend it certainly hasn't passed off without controversy but then again controversy was never going to be far from donald trump was it official insults denials as you said there fake news but then of course tea with the queen here at windsor as well luckily that does seem to have passed without incident here's my report a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper inter

states like the united kingdom but my home country astray are the numbers of modern day slavery in those wealthy countries is much higher than we previously understood the study also says that north korea is the slave capital of the world home to an estimated two point six million forced laborers for this latest report fifty defectors were interviewed forty nine of them say they suffered some form of slavery are there as children or adults and. the thing that sets them apart is that they don't really understand what's being done to them because they're told this is the way to live this is just how things are. on the high street to the impact of modern day slavery is a growing issue the walk free foundation say billions in at risk.

the united nations and the yew -- the united kingdom and the united states are also strengthening cooperation between our armed forces who serve together on battlefields all around the world. today the prime minister and i viewed several u.s.-u.k. special forces demonstrations. we saw some demonstrations today, frankly, that were incredible. the talent of these young, brave, strong people. we saw it at the royal military academy. seamless cooperation between our militaries is really just vital to addressing the many shared security threats. we have threats far different than we've ever had before. they've always been out there, but these are different. and they're severe. and we will handle them well. we also recognize the vital importance of border security and immigration control in order to prevent foreign acts of terrorism within our shores. we must prevent terrorists and their supporters from gaining admission in the first place. order security is a national security problem. and in the united states we are working very hard to get the democrats to give us a couple of votes so we can pas

i want to thank you for the united kingdom's contribution. the u.k. is one of the nations five out of 29. not good but it will get better really fast. i am pleased to report we have received commitments to increase defense spending and to do so in a much more timely manner. i thanked prime minister may for her partnership. it has been a tremendous help. the prime minister and i discussed iran. we both agree iran must never possess a nuclear weapon and that i must halt and it was -- she is going to do it. we have to stop terrorism we have to get certain countries and they have come a long way. i believe the funding of terrorism has to stop and stop now. i encouraged the prime minister to sustain pressure on the regime. we are doing that and doing that together. the united states are strengthening cooperation between our armed forces who served together on battlefields all around the world. today the prime minister and i viewed several forces demonstrations we saw some today that were incredible. the talent of these young, brave, strong people. we saw i

it takes full account of the wish of united kingdom business to ensure it will continue. if the honorable lady disagrees, will she stand up and say what her alternative proposal is? >> i do thank you for that answer on the checkered free-trade proposal, but i ask you go beyond the theory and explain in practice how it works. let me check one important point. for the proposal to work and practice, based on what the prime minister said on monday, not just in the u.k., but every eu member state will have to apply the correct tariff to imports depending if they are destined for the u.k. and the e.u., and then will have to check and track each consignment until it reaches its destination to stop customs fraud. ct, can i askrre the minister of state what new resources and technology will be required to put that system in place? how much will it cost? who will pay? how long will it take? i am afraid that the right honorable lady is incorrect in her substance. the customs model we are proposing would not affect either imports or exports involving this country and the european uni

jurisdiction in the united kingdom. coming out of the united fisheries policy. ensuring coming out of the customs union. that we can have an independent union that allows us to engage in trade deals around the world. that is what we will deliver. we will deliver it in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and meets our commitments. robert? will respond. it fromask sarah, get sarah, you can take the entire interview. said, how will he be as a prime minister? i said he would be great. he thinks i'm doing a great job. i am doing a great job in case you haven't noticed. but boris yeltsin i do think would make a great prime minister. i also said that this incredible woman right here is doing a fantastic job, a great job. and i mean that. i must say i have gotten to know theresa may much better over the last two days than i knew her over the last year. yesterday i had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with her. i said, what are we doing tomorrow. they said, lunch with theresa see her againl later today. i think she's a terrific woman doing a terrific job. situationt is

and what is more, that takes full account of the wish of united kingdom business to ensure that frictionless trade will continue. emily thornberry said there was, what she called, an "easy alternative" to the "mess". so, can i appeal to the minister of state to accept that alternative, do what i urged him to do two years ago and instead of trying to negotiate some half—baked, back door version of the customs union, get on with negotiating the real thing. what we have on the table from the government is a comprehensive set of proposals that we believe will deliver for british business in terms of frictionless trade, and will deliver on what people voted for in the referendum to restore to this house control of our laws, control of our borders and control of our money. the snp turned to donald trump's imminent visit to the uk. with protests planned across scotland and the uk against president trump's abhorrent policies and dangerous rhetoric, will the minister follow the snp's lead and challenge president trump on his abysmal record on human rightsm, his repugnant attitude towards women, and

as strong and independent united kingdom, just like a strong and independent united states. i want to thank you for visiting this special place, my mother was born here and means a little bit extra, maybe a lot extra. and we had a wonderful visit last night. i think i got to know the prime minister better than at any time, we spent a lot of time together over the year and a half, but last night we really -- i was very embarrassed for the rest of the table, but we just talked about lots of different problems and solutions to the problems and it was a great evening. as we stand together this afternoon at checkers we continue a long tradition of friendship collaboration and affection between ourselves and also between our people. the enduring relationship between our nations has never been stronger than it is now. so, madam, prime minister, thank you very much. it's been an honor. >> thank you, mr. president. thank you. >> thank you. [applause] >> now, we will-- we're going to take four questions each. i'll start off with laura. >> and thank you very much, prime minister, and m

states and the united kingdom. talk about the status of that special relationship and what might happen here over the next two days. >> you're absolutely right. it used to be a given that the relationship between the united states and britain was solid, rock solid even through differences of opinion on war, peace and other such things but shoulder to shoulder has always been the term both sides have used. we haven't heard that much since the inauguration of 2017 and we've seen instead president trump consistently tweet against prime minister may, picking huge fights with the mayor of london gratuitously, sadiq khan, talking about meeting an essential -- i don't know how to phrase it but a back stabber of the prime minister, the former foreign secretary who resigned over disagreement we thought he agreed with. these are troubling. the brits would like to have this special relationship stay solid because it trand sends a person, it's about trade and security so they need this relationship to continue but the european

the united kingdom and the united states are bound together. the traditions of freedom sovereignty, and the true rule of law or our shared gift to the world. they are now our prices inheritance. we must never seems to be united in their defense and in their renewal. before our dinner, we joined make for ater to tour of the let's and churchill exhibit at the palace. it was right here the prime minister churchill phoned roosevelt after pearl harbor. service and british members pueblas shed their blood alongside one another in defense of home freedom. together, we achieved a really special, meant to send victory -- magnificent victory. there was truly a productive summit. of my top priorities is getting other nato members to get their full and fair share. during the summit, i made clear that will nato allies must receive substantial commitments from members to increase their spending and to do so in a much more timely manner. today, thetings prime minister and i discussed a range of shared priorities including stopping nuclear proliferation. i thi

very closely coordinated, the united united kingdom and the united states are strengthening cooperation between our armed forces who serve together on battlefields all around the world. today the prime minister and i viewed several u.s./uk special forces demonstrations. we saw demonstrations today, frankly, that were incredible. the talent of these young, brave, strong people. we saw it at the royal military academy at sandhurst, seamless cooperation between our militaries is really just vital to addressing the many shared security threats. we have threats far different than we've ever had before. they've always been out there but these are different and severe and we will handle them we well. we also recognized the vital importance of border security and immigration control in order prevent foreign acts of terrorism within our shores. we must prevent terrorists and their supporters from gaining admission in the first place, border security is a national security problem and in the united states we are working very hard to get the democrats to give us a couple of votes to we can pass me

where in the united kingdom talking to neil mitchell and he's talking about the ongoing fraud wave and all that sort of stuff so i want to look at one of the consequences of neo liberalism in the bailout of banks and the quantitative easing the sort of economy we have engineered since the u.s. went off the gold standard i believe but. you can come up with your own opinion britain's trickiest economic challenge is back in the spotlight eclipsed by breaks the ted lines and all of the exits from ministers the most puzzling economic problem facing britain is back in the limelight abysmal productivity growth has plagued the united kingdom for a decade sapping its underlying strength and undermining wage growth countless explanations and solutions have been proffered and now the debate is raging again after a proposal that fixing it be made one of bank of england's core tasks before you go on i want to show you that it's actually been way more than a decade that productivity has been collapsing it has been collapsing since about one nine hundred seventy six i put that when the u.k. received
