scuer securing the rights for european citizens living in the uk and the rights of uk nationals living in the eu. protecting and enhancing existing workers‘ rights. ensuring free trade with european markets whilst forging a new strategic partnership with the european union, including a bold and amount bigs free trade agreement, a mutual beneficial new customs agreement. forging free trade agreements with count aacross the word. ensuring the uk remains the best place for science and innovation. cooperating in the fight against crime and terrorism. finally, delivering a smooth and orderly exit from the eu. these 12 objectives amount to one goal, a new, positive and constructive partnership between britain and the eu that works in our mutual interest. all of them are key. but let me highlight some of the specific issues in the white paper. it reiterates our firm view that it is in the uk‘s interest for the eu to succeed politically and economically. that cannot be said too firmly. we want the eu to succeed politically and economically. so, we approach the negotiation to come in a spir

it also says the uk is also a tax haven. foreign nationals can live in the uk without paying tax on any overseas income, they say. we have editor—in—chief of the oxford business group with us. when patrick cockburn makes a statement about the two state solution being doomed he is only echoing what many a nalysts doomed he is only echoing what many analysts said as soon as this was announced, that these 4000 or so homes are now legal as far as the israeli government is common and. and of course the independent and patrick cockburn are critics of many of the israeli policies, but it is difficult to disagree when you look at the law that was passed yesterday, normalising settlements. it flies in the face of so much that one might feel towards any idea that there would be a move towards peace. i think the rhetoric around iran that he has been... that benjamin netanyahu that he has been... that benjamin neta nyahu has that he has been... that benjamin netanyahu has been using in the uk it is, as they identify, a fiddly for th

tell us more, why is amazon investing so much in the uk? amazon is committed to the uk. it is their second largest international market after germany and they view the uk as a very strategic market. there is a lot of overlap between us and uk consumers. they see it as a very familiar market when it comes to rolling out some of the big us initiatives. they see the uk as an international launch pad and that's why, if you look over the past year, we have seen the launch of amazon fresh, their online grocery service here in the uk. they delivered their first order by drone before christmas last year and we have seen the roll—out of their virtual personal assistant. so they're clearly doing a lot in the us and they view the uk as a gateway to the international market. that's interesting the creation of newjobs, that's interesting the creation of new jobs, because the that's interesting the creation of newjobs, because the other direction that amazon has been going in is using these drones for deliveries and there has been a lot of talk about drones perhaps taking thejobs of

the uk is is on its way to becoming an adversary. is that the way you feel about the uk? absolutely not, what i'm feeling about is we can find a fair partnership. but people like mr farage, at the heart of the brexit campaign and looking to destroy the european union, that's our problem and that is what i will fight against. the thing is, it's not really just about britain. when you said of the brexit campaign, you described it as the latest high mass of tribalism in europe. it isn'tjust actually in britain where people are expressing great scepticism about the european union, great scepticism about immigration and its effect upon europe. you could look at le pen in france and wilders in the netherlands. look at poland, look at hungary, so many nations across the european union. i don't deny this. i'm fighting against these people. i don't deny le pen exists. i don't deny wilders exists. but i can tell you one thing, the public opinion in our countries on the continent in the eu is not against europe, they are against this european union. that's exactly why i'm saying to

the uk rent back on it and since thenit the uk rent back on it and since then it appears that theresa may and her determination to get as close as possible to president trump, is more 01’ possible to president trump, is more or less following his middle east policy which is to be a lot softer on netanyahu than 0bama. well today she made it clear in the commons that she was adamant to mr nash and yahoo that the israelis should cease building settlements. —— mr netanyahu. are building settlements. —— mr neta nyahu. are you building settlements. —— mr netanyahu. are you saying that behind—the—scenes things are more fluid? i was not in the meeting and interestingly they decided not to have a press conference afterwards, they just put have a press conference afterwards, theyjust put out a statement which is kind of unusual. i think a sign that neither of them wanted to face awkward questions. a spokeswoman for theresa may said the objection to settle m e nts theresa may said the objection to settlements was that they undermine trust, the reality is there is no trust, the

right, so everyone in the uk has a right to a private and family life which is put into uk law by the human rights act. and one of the other rights which is very releva nt to the other rights which is very relevant to leanne's case, it is in british law, any immigration decision has to put as a primary consideration the best interests of any children that would be affected and our research shows that not only are children, you know, incredibly psychologically impacted by having one of their parents leave orjust never seeing them, but also that the decision making process that the home office goes through does not do that. it does not look specifically at the best interests of the child in the way that they're legally required to do. so those are the two main questions that the supreme court is going to be looking at. this has been going on since 2013 when the high court said the government policy was unlawful. the judge urged the home secretary to rewrite the rules. that was overturned at the court of appeal and we're waiting for the judgement this morning and what happens today is de

the uk is one of our immediate objectives of the negotiations. we stand ready to reach such a deal right now, if the other countries of the european union agree. to the eu citizens who are living, studying and working in the uk, i say this, you will still be welcome in this country, as we trust our citizens will continue to be welcome in yours. moving on, mr speaker, to the forthcoming negotiations, i want to repeat that while we are leaving the eu, we are not turning our back on europe. order. what is the point in the government coming here, reading out a point of statement, and not listening to interventions from honourable members who have legitimate questions to ask? honourable members who have legitimate questions to ask7e honourable members who have legitimate questions to ask? ? these debates will run for a long time to come but that is not a matter for the chair. minister. thank you, mr speaker. i want to repeat that while we are leaving the eu we are not turning our backs on europe. we will be speaking abroad new partnership with the eu

the uk is a big thing. i say that we need to be quick because the financial markets left us no time. it's in everybody‘s interest that it is quick and smooth. you've had a quick glance at the white paper. you heard theresa may's speech and you know the british position. what do you think is not going to be deliverable, or will it all be deliverable? everything is negotiable and deliverable. everything. on one side, the white paper is a wish list. how to handle it, the main thing is what we want. what the uk wants in this negotiation. but on the other side, the tone of the white paper is a good one. in general, there are no supplicants in this story. of course, it's a failure, we have to divide, but we have to be fair. the white paper says, more or less, what are the best results for both? the customs union? the rights of residents in different countries? what's the hardest issue? probably the commercial things. commercial things, because trade in general. because the common market is very important for us

i'm happy to say he will face no obstacle what ever because he is a uk passport holder nor will any uk aide worker in yemen. that is what we've achieved. >> we didn't need the executive towards be signed to realize this was president trump's policy because it was an election pledge, an election he then went on to win. if we knew it was going to happen did he meet with the foreign secretary with the transition team or did the prime minister meet with president trump when she should have known about it and should have done so. >> realty is conversations between conversations between the administration, the new administration and the uk government many months we have became aware of the policy and it was enacted by the president on friday evening and since then we have worked hard to secure the exemptions and protections we have. >> given that the foreign secretary said today the u.s. president's policy discriminate and wrong, can the house assume that he will strengthen any representation that he makes by working closely and cooperation in partnership in the european union and the counci

as the uk government, of course we have a duty to consider uk citizens living in other e.u. states as well and, as i have said, it has been clear that there is good will on all sides in relation to this matter, but there is an expectation that this will be considered in the round and that we can look at e.u. citizens here and uk citizens in other member states. the right hon. gentleman also asked a number of questions about what i was putting forward to the european leaders of the 27. of course, what i was putting forward was the views of the united kingdom. it is the u.k. that will be negotiating. we listen, we take account of, and we incorporate views of scotland, northern ireland and wales, but when i am sitting there around the e.u. council, i am doing so as the prime minister of the united kingdom. mr. cash: did my right hon. friend observe that after she had spoken to the 27 they were far more realistic, particularly with respect to the question of defence and nato, than they had been beforehand, and in particular than in respect of donald tusk's letter to the 27, whic

but as the uk prime minister i must of course also think of the uk citizens living in the 27, what will be the 27 remaining states of the eu. i would want their status in those member states to be guaranteed, too. ithink in those member states to be guaranteed, too. i think there is good will on all sides in relation to this matter, we recognise people wa nt to this matter, we recognise people want reassurance for their future. asi want reassurance for their future. as i said in the house of commons yesterday, when i trigger article 50,i yesterday, when i trigger article 50, i will make clear i want this issue to be addressed at an early stage of negotiations so we can give reassurance to uk citizens living in italy and other member states. and eu citizens and italians living in the uk. another question from william? william james from reuters. prime minister, you've previously said the question of scottish independence was settled in 2014 by the referendum. my question to you today is, would you allow a second independence referendum and did you expect such a request to land on your de

the uk is on its way to becoming an adversary. is that the way you feel about the uk today? absolutely not, what i'm feeling about is that we can find a fair partnership. but people like mr farage, who are at the heart of the brexit campaign and are really to destroy the european union, that's our problem and that is the thing i will fight against. the thing is, it's not really just about britain. when you said of the brexit campaign, you described it as the latest high mass of tribalism in europe. it isn'tjust actually in britain where people are expressing great scepticism about the european union, great scepticism about immigration and its effect upon europe. you could look at le pen in france and wilders in the netherlands. look at poland, look at hungary, look at so many nations across the european union. i don't deny this. i'm fighting against these people. i don't deny le pen exists. i don't deny wilders exists. but i can tell you one thing, the public opinion on the continent, in countries in the european union, is not against europe, they are against this european u

so a real messy picture in the uk on wednesday. be prepared for sunshine, well, be prepared for rain, but expect a little bit of sunshine. how is the rest of europe doing compared to us? well, it will turn very unsettled from spain, into france and the uk. this weather systems will be piling into western parts of europe, quieter across the mediterranean and quieter across central part of europe, the east as well. here is a closer look at the nasty weather. this will bring windy weather to ireland and western parts of the uk. southern costs have gales in many areas and some outbreaks of rain. a blustery day. this is the first big low. mild, but it won't feel like it in the wind. once the big low starts pulling away, another smaller but more intense weather system is going to develop. this one could do one of two things. it could either be quite nasty still and move into france. this will be less severe for us. and the other scenario is that this will probably affect south—western areas and travel towards the north. this is the mor

that clearly creates a disincentive to come to the uk and work in the uk, or to stay in uk. the official figures also break down where peoplejoining or leaving the workforce were born. the number of workers born in the uk dropped by 120,000. many people would argue that we can't carry on with the immigration numbers that we have had in recent years. the effect of that must be that we get better at retraining our own workers, reskilling our own workers and bringing into the employment market groups that were previously not unemployed, but inactive. for more than a decade the economy has grown used to large inflows of migrant labour which has created jobs, owing to money the immigrants spend, and allowed companies to find skilled workers where otherwise they would struggle. for the many businesses who have become dependent for their growth on migrant workers, a big adjustment is underway. 30 years ago it was supposed to herald a revolution in personal transport — but the "sinclair c5" quickly became a by—word forfailure. part tricycle and part electric car, it was the brai
