uk is party to as a member of the eu. the leader in the lords argued it would be responsible to proceed without more information. liam fox is on record saying how easy it was all going to be, and he said back injuly 2017 the free trade agreement should be one of the easiest in history. then he said all agreements would be ready and in place one second after brexit with no disruption to trade. so not only were those statements are responsible, they were also gravely wrong. now the international trade secretary only says that he hopes they will be in place but it depends on whether other countries are prepared to put the work in. it will no doubt be argued this amendment is unprecedented, well perhaps it is, but as we are seeing in the commons, at a time when government has all but collapsed, it is inevitable that parliament should assert its control over proceedings. that's what this amendment seeks to do and it has the support of these benches. we have arrived at the time when the national interest must be put first befor

no deal would be dreadful for the uk. are completely united. no deal would be dreadfulfor the uk. billions of pounds are being wasted already for contingency planning is, firms are starting to relocate abroad and where it actually happen, the disruption, whether at ports, services, hundreds of broadcasters no longer able to show their programmes across europe, the disruption would be huge and then there is the long—term damage to the uk competitiveness. it has to be avoided. the only way to avoid it is to find a deal and that is where parliament coming, so what business are hoping for and waiting with bated breath is to see does the prime minister offer a genuine olive branch across parliament? where is the majority? what is the type of deal that actually we could get agreement on and negotiate? if it is the prime minister seymore of the same, i‘m going to try harder on the backstop, that will cause real problems for business. what with businesslike? i think we‘ve seen previously that 18% of your business is voted for remained at about 80%. are they now accepting it will be

well, we have to take the uk government, the uk politicians, at face value. we had a referendum two and a half years ago and the decision was to leave, and until we hear anything to the contrary that is our assumption. so the best case scenario, according to those parameters, is we avoid a no deal brexit, and that we secure this deal on the table that is struck between the uk and the eu, then we are able to move on to the future negotiations. we are not in a position to start guessing whether there will be a second referendum, whether the article 50 process will be revoked. that's really not for a business organisation to comment on. 0k. business organisation to comment on. ok. but our main message is to avoid ano ok. but our main message is to avoid a no deal brexit because the harm will be massive, both to the uk at the eu business community. ok, thank you very much indeed, ben butters there in brussels. what we did is going to be! joining us now in the studio is our economics correspondent, dharshini david. dharshini, here we are. where are we? anyone's gu

the uk as to brexit. what about you ? agreement with the uk as to brexit. what about you? well, i mean... the thing is that in italy we have a populist government that in the past representatives have spoken about a possible italexit, so many people that the uk and say this may happen to us. so mostly they are really scared about that. and also we are trying to tell them also because in the uk there are so many italians, every family has a friend or a relative here. so there is a lot of concern with the issue of citizens‘ rights, which is within the withdrawal deal? in the case of a no deal, which is closer and closer. apart from the detail of the policy, is this changing your readers‘ perception of the uk, impacting how you see us? i think a lot of norwegians would have thought that the uk would deal with this a bit better, that by this date the uk would have done a lot more in this negotiation with the eu, that you would have some certainty and clarity. i think many people are surprised that we have

i was born in the uk, my parents are british. the whole family moved to france when i was four because we love this is a stunning backdrop here in the french alps. what was it like growing up, it must have been amazing? yeah, it was amazing. we did not spend much time inside. i was trying to follow my brothers and keep up with them. her older brothers both raced internationally but it was charlotte who would reach the olympics and four years after her debut she entered pyeonchang as a medal contender. she takes advantage. she was left injured and left frustrated after a crash but also by the french team who had been unable to help her recover from a serious injury. i broke my pelvis and since then i have been impedance struggling with that. we have not found a solution in france. i was thinking would i continue snowboarding orjust give up. then it was like if i wanted to continue, i could not continue with the french. how difficult was it to break the news to the french team that you want to switch to gb? i don't think at the sta

i totally respect the democratic votes of the uk operation. but that is also quite clear that we support 02 no deal, the deal is not perfect, on the other side, it is crucial that we a clear and constructive way. a no deal scenario, you should know that we are producing 3000 vehicles in the uk daily, but also even more engines for the global market. that means, 25 million parts every day, 25 million parts you cannot stockpile for weeks, four months. we exactly have to know how this brexit deal will be orchestrated to be flexible and agile to work accordingly. what happens if we have no deal? you have said this before, we dues reiterate how bad that i've come you think that would be and what it would mean for your company? you can imagine the logistics. if there is no deal and we have problems in the physical logistics then it is quite clear that will disrupt production. if i miss one part i cannot produce one car. that means if i have a stoppage of one day i miss 60—80,000,000 per day. what that means in terms of jobs? can you imagine? 80 mi

if there is ano pulljobs out of the uk if there is a no deal. he isn't here but the business leaders that i have talked to have a very similar view and basically talking about the fact that actually, in some cases, global companies plan years in advance, they don't plan weeks or days in advance. to get to this point without any clarity on what's happening is from their perspective, is completely —— complete lunacy. i've been talking to the polish foreign minister, not personally but he has been talking to us at the bbc, who suggested maybe there should be a five—year limit to the irish backstop. this is one of the elements in the straws —— the withdrawal deal that theresa may has brokered that been so controversial but when i put that to the european commissioner forjobs growth but when i put that to the european commissioner for jobs growth and competitiveness, i spoke to him yesterday, i said to him, would it bea yesterday, i said to him, would it be a good idea to take the backstop of the agenda or change the backstop? he was talkin

the uk. sirjames dyson may be one of the most high profile supporters of brexit, but that hasn't stopped his company shifting its headquarters to singapore. p&0 have re—registered its entire fleet of ferries under the cypriot flag. sony is moving its european headquarters to amsterdam. luxury car—maker bentley says the company is stockpiling parts. and retailer dixons carphone says its working to shore up supplies. and these announcements aren't just from this month or this week, no, these are just the warnings from tuesday. a short while ago we spoke to paul everitt, chief execitive of ads, the trade organisation for companies in the uk aerospace, defence, security and space sectors. the chief executive of airbus said the government's handling of brexit was a disgrace, because businesses have no idea, like the rest of us you might say, what is going to happen. do you agree with him?|j think happen. do you agree with him?” think you will find what tom has been saying in his unique style

a spokesperson for the uk customs authority told the bbc... the existing customs free trade zone has essentially enabled the netherlands to act as the uk‘s ack garden. the supply chain is so efficient that the retailers do not require high levels of stock. that‘s all been done here at source. the moment the retailers cannot have the product the same day or the next day deliberately or required to have stocks. a number of british supermarkets have warned they do not have the capacity to stockpile fresh food. and his dutch vegetables will become even more vital in march when uk produce is out of season. the eu believes the risk of the uk leaving without a brexit deal has increased in recent days. planning for that outcome is being stepped up, with the european commission publishing the last in its package of contingency measures. belgium is one of the countries that would be hardest hit if there‘s no deal. particularly its fishermen, because more than half of their catch comes from british waters. adam fleming reports from the belgian coas

the uk could bring the arrangement toa the uk could bring the arrangement to a close. a sunset clause, an agreed date when the backstop would expire, or technological solutions. the slight flaw in all of this is that brussels has already rejected time limits to the backstop, or a unilateral uk exit, and the prime minister herself has previously given short shrift to yet to be invented technological solutions. today, senior mps have been in downing street to discuss exactly what to say to brussels on the backstop, but the leader of the opposition believes all of this is rather late. i asked the prime minister about this yesterday and she was incredibly vague, both in the commons and the meeting i had with her later on, and it's possible there would have to be an extension in order to get an agreement because we cannot leave the eu on march 29th without an agreement. frosty relations between the government and opposition and between britain and brussels may have to thaw if the uk is to get a sustainable deal. also today, it's being reported that the prime minister is pre
