tonight at six: a blistering attack on brussels from theresa may on the day parliament is officially dissolved. she accused eu politicians of hardening their positions and said some in brussels did not want brexit talks to succeed. threats against britain have been issued by european politicians and officials. all of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election that will take place on 8thjune. we won't threaten europe on the way into brexit, and above all in this election campaign, we'll put forward a proposal and a plan for britain. her comments followed a warning from the eu's top negotiator — you're wrong if you think brexit is going to be painless. some have created the illusion that brexit would have no material impact on our lives. we'll be asking why the prime minister has used such tough language. also tonight: ten years to the day since madeleine disappeared, we hearfrom a local resident about what she saw that evening. the student who faces jail after leaving a home—made bomb packed with ball bearings on the tube. the hidden camer

you can go from brussels into syria and come back and carry out a deadly attack at the airport in brussels as well and as we digest the information from this manchester massacre, we know he was in libya just a few days ago. open borders are fine but if you cannot control who is coming and who is going and if your lack of surveillance leads to massacres like we saw monday night, the leaders of these countries have a lot to answer for. >> if you think that we are concerned as a country, as a population, about terrorism, think about living in the heart of europe where the refugee and migrant population has increased exponentially after the syria situation. and you've seen more of these radical islamic events, terrorist attacks. and also cells that the intelligence community over there has been trying to break up. large cells throughout different parts of europe. so as nato gets involved in terrorism more and more, it is a direct link to all of these countries having to deal with this. you make an important point, bill. it gets to the protecting your borders, being careful who is coming in and

those killers came from brussels, belgium. a neighborhood on the western edge of brussels and that neighborhood has shown the willingness of this network in that country to travel to syria and back again. to travel to syria and get trained and get instruction and come back again. you have open borders throughout the continent of europe. it is an issue. we do not know how they will resolve that. this president is well aware of that. and he goes trying to deliver a message of just like he said to the sunni leaders in saudi arabia, you've got to get a handle on this. now. >> shannon: he talked about how we'll be a partner in that. the u.s. will join forces with those who are trying to drive out the terrorists but as you said, bill, he called on them saying it is up to you to drive them out of your communities, out of your holy places and put the onus on them where they're starting and spreading like a cancer throughout europe and we're about to see him arrive there on the steps of air force one. >> bill: mark thiessen is with us

nbc news pentagon correspondent hans nichols joins us live from brussels. what do we know about how this is going to impact what the talks will be? >> well, chris, it could potentially crowd out the other agenda item, and that was russia. for many of these 27 leaders here at this nato meeting, it is not an official summit. it is a meeting. it's their first chance to hear donald trump make his commitment on whether or not he can reassure them that the united states is committed to the nato alliance. remember during the campaign, he called it obsolete. he dispatched his desecretary o state in february, trying to reassure allies. vice president pence made the same point a few days later. there is a split between eastern and western countries. the western countries basically take him at his world, that he is committed to nato. the closer to the russian border, the less likely you are to see they feel trump has their back. they may want something more. i'll be very interested to see about the more spending from the nato countries. the ability to meet the challen

emma: president trump is now in brussels. hemark: will visit the belgian l palace and meet with the prime minister there. tomorrow's the nato summit. earlier, he met with pope francis at the vatican. it appears the pope is trying to send a message to the president. he gave mr. trump a copy of his book on the importance of protecting the environment. later this week, president trump is heading to a meeting of world leaders who will pledge to honor the u.s. commitment on climate change. the manchester police chief says authorities believe the network was responsible for a suicide bombing. the british government has raised the terror threat level from severe to critical for the first time in a decade. that means another attack may be imminent, and prime minister theresa may is taking unprecedented security. the british government is urging social media companies such as afterok and twitter to go their sites. after the -- after the manchester attack, the head of the islamic state posted messages boasting about it. if the congress

kevin connolly there in brussels. let's turn to the coming weeks, the next few weeks of this general election campaign and reflect on what we heard from theresa may because i'm joined outside the houses of parliament by patrick 0'flynn from ukip. i don't know how much of theresa may's statement you heard at the podium there a few moments ago, but a clear sense from her that she sees this general election as being all about brexit, it is about sleging someone about brexit, it is about sleging someone who can do the best negotiating over the next cull of yea rs negotiating over the next cull of years in terms of our departure from the eu. your thoughts on that, patrick 0'flynn, first of all? the eu. your thoughts on that, patrick o'flynn, first of all? well, my initial reaction, it is up to the voters to decide what a general election is all about. 0bviously, brexit will be an absolutely crucial issue, probably the dominant issue of the campaign and i congratulate downing street spindoctors on their choreography, they g

you go to brussels. i was in brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago. so beautiful, everything's so beautiful. its like living in a hell hole right now. >> the president had his first official meeting with the king and queen of belgium along with the prime minister. despite the protests, the president said it was an honor. >> my whole group, weave been looking forward to this trip, meeting the king was wonderful. had a great discussion. and we will work together on various problems. number one right now is terrorism. and we are fighting very hard, doing very well under our generals and making tremendous progress. but when you see something like happened two days ago, you realize how important it is to win this fight. and we will win this fight. >> and later today, he will have his first meeting with the newly elected president of france, before participating in various nato leadership events. he'll depart for the final leg of his voyage, the g-7 summit in sicily. >>> still ahead, was the fbi hood winked by a russian document. fascinating story. we're ta

kevin connolly is in brussels. what reaction are you starting to hear from everything that theresa may has been saying? very strong words of course from the prime minister. we will not get a push against them in quite the same terms quite so publicly in brussels i sense. but as the new eu source has told bbc in the new eu source has told bbc in the minutes after the prime minister spoke that they regard her views as pure fantasy. there is a slight hint they are inclined to see them as pa rt they are inclined to see them as part of the rough and tumble of electioneering but the point was made that both michel barnier the eu chief negotiator and jean—claude juncker the eu commission president have spoken whether positively about the prime minister this afternoon. so to look at what theresa may is talking about, you have to go a bit below the fairly emollient public words of people like michel barnier and look at what appears to be a list of pretty tough demands from the european side. and clearly that growing list,

i have to say that from what i have seen this account i think it is brussels gossip. and just look at what the european commission themselves said immediately after dinner took place, which was that the talks had been constructive. but describing the account of acrimony and division between britain and the eu as brussels gossip is not the same as dismissing it as nonsense. she and jean—claude juncker clearly don't see eye to eye. may day means workers' solidarity for labour, but there was no fraternity from opposition parties, for a prime minister under pressure. to start negotiations by threatening to walk away with no deal and set up the sort of no tax economy on the shores of europe is not a very sensible way of europe is not a very sensible way of approaching people with whom half of approaching people with whom half of our trade is done at the present time. the revelations overnight showed theresa may being guilty of astonishing arrogance and complacently, that she feels that somehow the lack of any deal, no free trade deal, no co—operation on peace and secur

jonathan beale is in brussels. he has, broadly speaking, got his maths right in terms of what there are only five members of the alliance of the 28 who are paying the 2%. what he got wrong is that assumption that there are countries that have paid 2% of their gdp on defence who owe masses of money, in his words. that is not how later works. there is no enforcement of that 2%, it's a goal in the target and after each individual member how much they spend on defence. they have the commitment to work towards that 2% but essentially, that assumption that they owe money is wrong. on the issue of article five, donald trump did an veil or was there to unveil the statue of this new that building behind me. it has cost 1.2 billion euros. the us has contributed 22% of the cost. he unveiled that 911 twisted metal from the twin towers and he did mention that that was the time when, the only time when they invoked article five which is respectively about —— effectively about collecting. he went on to say i believe in articl

it is not brussels gossip. either he said it to you or he did not. the account, i think that the account i have seen, a lot of that is brussels gossip. but what is important is that there is a key question for people when they come to this election. there will be 27 other eu countries on one side of the table, and who is going to be there standing up for the uk? it is either going to be me orjeremy corbyn. you wanted an early deal on eu citizens and brits abroad. they said no. you wanted parallel talks about our divorce deal and trade at the same time. they said no. that does not inspire confidence, does it? i have always said that there are complexities to this issue and lots of details that will need to be agreed. brexit is not the only issue. back her on brexit or not, for some voters, it is just not enough. food banks, you know. there's massive problems with homelessness, house prices. polite it may be, but her first sharp encounter of the campaign. the campaign is solely focusing on brexit. no, it's not. i know it isn't but that is the impressio

it is brussels gossip. look at what the european commission themselves said immediately after the dinner took place, which was that the talks had been constructive. also on tonight's programme: the businessman shot dead during a burglary at his home in dorset — police reveal details of the raid. a last week of campaigning in the french presidential election ahead of sunday's vote. and social media companies accused of a "disgraceful" failure to tackle illegal and extemist material online. good evening. the prime minister has described reports of a supposedly fractious dinner between her and the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, as "brussels gossip". a german newspaper reported that there were sharp disagreements about how quickly a deal could be reached over the rights of british and eu citizens and over how much the uk owes the european union. 0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. may day means a bikes and barrows festival in this lancashire village. and people seem keen to

will not wa nt to that is something brussels will not want to write on at all. from our point of view, it is a practical thing. london has always been a bag of four people from all over the uk, the world and, of course, europe. we are talking about skilled labour from brain surgeons, two bristows. we need to keep london a world city. we need to keep london a world city. we understand that the referendum was fought in many parts of the country on a worry about immigration but the worry in london is that we do not have enough of it so we will be looking for some certainty on that. thank you very much to both of you for your time this morning. the labour manifesto will be released later on today and there will be a lot of detail as to what is in it and what it means, on the bbc website and radio. in other news: what will the doctor ‘s surgery look like in the future? our technology reporter dave lee went for a visit. it isa it is a new take on healthcare stop we tried to be more if when dealing with health. a 3—d infrared model. healthcare in america always com

setting her face against brussels, she wants you to believe she won't be messed around. whoever wins on the 8th ofjune and will face one overriding task — to get the best possible deal for this united kingdom from brexit. and in the last few days, we have seen just how tough these talks are likely to be. britain's negotiating position in europe has been misrepresented in the continental press. the european commission's negotiating stance has hardened. threats against britain have been issued by european politicians and officials. all of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election that will take place on the 8th ofjune. yes, she did just accuse some in the eu of interfering in our election. the events of the last few days have shown that whatever our wishes and however reasonable the positions of europe's other leaders, there are some in brussels who do not want these talks to succeed, who do not want britain to prosper. this brexit negotiation is central to everything. if we don't get the negotiation right, your economic securit

brexit will be a difficult dance between the uk and brussels and this lea ked between the uk and brussels and this leaked account from the eu side shows a willingness to talk about the talks to their advantage but it also shows that on many issues the sides are far apart and the mood is farfrom sides are far apart and the mood is far from mary. with me is our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. so much confusion. they looks like this dinner might go down as the most prickly and an enjoyable enough. number ten has insisted it doesn't recognise as account of what happened. there were interesting remarks from theresa may on the campaign trail. she said these were rumours, gossip from brussels. that is not the same as dismissing it com pletely is not the same as dismissing it completely or insisting that she and john claude juncker dci completely or insisting that she and john claudejuncker dci toure. when they clearly do not. the big consent from number ten is they want these negotiations to be done behind closed doors, not in secret but privately. for the eu, they have a different app

sara murray live for us in brussels. just past 10:30 there. thank you, sara. >>> the house gop health care bill would leave 23 million americans uninsured, according to a report by the non-partisan congressional budget office. the cbo predicts 51 million americans won't have health coverage by 2026. compare that to 28 million under obamacare with 14 million fewer enrolled in medicaid. americans losing health insurance creates a lot of ammunition for critics of the bill, and it's the main objection that's being raised by moderate republicans. but conservatives like that it lowers both the deficit and premiums for many people. average costs do go down after initial spike, but the sickest americans, they end up paying more. prices also depend on where you live. under the bill, states can waive protections for pre-existing conditions. the analysis winds up dividing the market in three. premiums fall 4% in states that don't lose protections and 20% lower in states with moderate changes, but that's because insurers cover fewer benefits, such as mate

from what i've seen of this account, i think it is brussels gossip. just look at what the european commission themselves said immediately after the dinner took place, which was that the talks had been constructive. may day means worker solidarity for labour, but there was no fraternity from opposition parties for a prime minister under pressure. to start negotiations by threatening to walk away with no deal and set up a sort of low tax economy on the shores of europe is not a sensible way of approaching people with whom half of our trade is done at the present time. the revelations overnight show theresa may being guilty of astonishing arrogance and complacency, that she feels that somehow, the lack of any kind of deal, no free trade deal, no cooperation on police and security, that that is somehow acceptable to families in this country. brexit will be a difficult dance between the uk and brussels, and this leaked account from the eu side shows a willingness to brief about the talks to their advantage. but it also reveals that on many issues, the side

trump is in brussels for his first nato summit as president. today he was back scolding members telling them to increase their defense spending. what he did not mention coming up on the program. the summit revealing the growing rift between great britain and the u.s. over intelligence leak in the manchester suicide bombing investigation. british police are furious and have caught off information sharing with u.s. law enforcement. despite the looming threat of brags it the charlemagne prize recognizing contributions to european unity has been awarded to a brick. he received the famous awards today in the city. it is good to have you with us. tonight donald trump is blasting nato allies in brussels for not paying their fair share. trump has been a vocal critic of nato calling the alliance obsolete on the campaign trail. with the manchester bombing it has brought new urgency where the fight against terrorism has become topic number one. >> not the warmest of welcomes at the nato headquarters. donald trump opened the gathering scolding the other le

we will be back there later in brussels. the focus here in manchester and across the uk was on a one—minute silence which was held this morning. a thousand people probably work in in manchester, —— probably work in in manchester, —— probably a thousand people were in manchester for the minute silence. 0ur correspondent has more. remembering the children, teenagers, mothers, fathers, relatives and friends who lost their lives. a nation united in silence. bell chimes trumpets play as we come from different faiths, different traditions, different cultures, we come as one to declare that we are manchester and we will continue to be that manchester, and so we ask your blessing upon this time and we ask for your love and support on those who suffer, that they will know that, above all, lies the everlasting arms of god. the applause in st ann's square in manchester lasted for a minute more after the silence. we are manchester through and through, and we wanted to make sure that we were here today to show the people of man

, here in brussels later today. it comes hot on the heels, quite frankly, as administration officials have criticized the u.s. intelligence community for this series of leaks that they leaking from the white house. the backdrop to all of this is president trump's recent decision to fire james comey, who was set to testify before the u.s. senate intelligence committee after the memorial day holiday, when lawmakers return from personal recess. that said, the president has faced significant criticism not only from democrats, but from republicans within his own party about the "political drama" that mitch mcconnell put into media surrounding the white house and the leaks around it. matt: this seems like the unthinkable, kevin. the u.k. typically needs u.s. intelligence much more than vice versa. on the other hand, donald trump of the has been critical intelligence community, especially when it regards leaking things to the press. how do you see this meeting going between the two leaders? here in brussels, i can tell you

remember candidate trump used to call brussels a hell hole. he did during the campaign. another thing candidate trump said during the campaign is he called nato obsolete, today he meets with nato, there is a big gathering not an official meeting but it's a dinner. and at that dinner each lear joining so 29, each have about three minutes to talk. they want to hear especially in the eastern part of the nato alliance they want to hear assurances from president trump that he is committed to the alliance. rebel he said secretary mattis here, vice president pends was in munich saying nato is part of the u.s. agenda. a lot want to hear that from president trump. president trump is expected to talk about not only global terrorism but other countries and their commitment to the 2% of gdp spending that amount on their defense budget. >> certainly another day of watching the president and all of the activity out of there. thank you. >>> while the president's trip appears to be going smoothly the white house dealing with a headline on russia and the trump campaign from "the new york

a free trade deal has to be negotiated through brussels. it is a step in the right direction. >> a german-indian investment plan that is designed to stand the test of time. angela merkel has committed to investing in billion euros in my noble energy and smart cities. onto over a billion people, india's one of the fastest developing nations in the world. german companies are hoping to profit from the growth. of course, for easier access to the market. >> german companies which are not majority-owned by indian shareholders to experience some this advantages. there are issues in areas like defense where we had trouble with access that are treated equally. we have raised a number of topics. germany has also signaled its willingness to drop of a free trade agreement between india and the eu. >> we are all for free trade. we are game for free trade. we cannot compromise on giving up sacrificing our farming industry. poor farmers, for the sake of free trade, me to find a million. >> a message from india appears to be that we are open for business

here in brussels the u.s. has been trying to talk its nato allies into adding thousands more troops in afghanistan as well, but so far the reception has been cool. and as for the decision to beef up u.s. forces, it's been postponed, scott, until the president returns to washington. >> liz palmer with us in brussels tonight. liz, thank you. we're back from brussels in just a moment. rid-x helps break down waste. avoid a septic disaster with rid-x. because your carpet there's resolve carpet care. with five times more benefits than vacuuming alone... it lifts more dirt, pet hair and removes odours. while softening every fibre because your carpet never stops working, resolve carpet care with five times benefits >>> tonight we have a fascinating new study on sleep. we hope the results don't keep you up. here's dr. tra narula >> reporter: scott, this study looked at the effects of sleep duration in people with metabolic syndrome, which is a group of conditions that puts people at risk for heart disease and stroke. t

so he seemed in no hurry to start this, his first visit to brussels. and it was always going to be an awkward beginning. donald tusk, for his part... has listed the new us administration as a threat to the eu. these are leaders with widely differing visions of the world. a us president sceptical about free trade and fighting climate change, the eu side keen to impress the importance of the atlantic alliance, the value of the atlantic alliance, the value of western countries working together. we have covered a lot of countries, a lot of leaders. mr trump said he had met some great leaders on his trip. apparently, he mentioned the size of his election victory. but it seems there was little warmth in this meeting. look at the body language as they left. awkward. a sign there was little real agreement behind closed doors. the us president did no press conference, so it was left to the eu donald to make his own solar statement, and hint how wide the differences are. some issues remain open, like climate and trade, and i am not 100% sure that we can say toda

>> so we expect air force one to touch down in brussels pretty shortly and what we think will be key will be the nato summit that's taking place tomorrow. this will be important because president trump has been a very critical voice about the nato alliance. he's questioned its relevance. he's talked about the alliance not spending enough on defense and indeed, they're not doing enough in their counter terrorism efforts, as well so it will be a cash aual affair and they'll be having dinner with the other 27 member countries and they'll address those issues in particular. we expect commitments to outline plans that would see them increase their spending on defense up to the 2% goal that is nato-stated target that is 2% of gdp for each country and indeed, probably some sort of wide edge of their commitment and expanding their ability in the fight against isis and that's a more controversial one because the countries that make up nato are already contributing to the international coalition against isis. it is possible that nato as an organization might join that coalition formally, but i

norman smith and kevin connelly brussels, thank you both. labour says it would suspend the planned closures of hospital services across england — if it wins the general election. the party says a reform process aimed at treating more patients in the community has created "mistrust and confusion". but the conservatives say the nhs modernisation programme has been backed by senior doctors and nurses. our health editor hugh pym reports. there have been protests against some of the reform plans including this demonstration outside a hospital in 0xfordshire where campaigners say services are under threat. last year nhs england called on local health and council leaders to draw up plans forjoined—up care with the aim of treating more patients in their communities rather than in hospitals. these sustainability and transformation plans have now been published. they cover 44 areas of england. some involve hospital bed cuts with resources switched to community health. labour's jon ashworth today at a meeting with activists in west yorkshire, argue

bit more at what president trump said in brussels yesterday. president trump: spent 2% of gdp on defense last year, we would $119 billion her defense and ctive for the financing of additional reserves. chronicd recognize with underpayments and growing is ats, even 2% of gdp insufficient to close the gaps modernizing readiness and the size size -- threats. f nato countries made full and complete contributions, the nato it d be even stronger than -- oday the uk and s., make the 2% mark or higher. do you agree with what the said?dent guest: i agree in principle, but it is more complicated than that spending 2% on gdp s important aptitude and i agree the europeans need to meet the united states halfway in sharing the burden. on the other hand, it also comes on what you spend, you can waste money and sort of spend it on military bans, but on paper, you spend 2%. with the 2% today, it is just important to write, what are we getting out of this? lanes, ships, getting rid of units to do the work in the field? magnus are talking to the president's trips

keeping us up-to-date from brussels. thank you. ahead of president trump's meeting at nato headquarters in brussels, hundreds took to the streets of the belgian capital in protest of his visit. a group carried banners saying stop trump, save the planet. this is in reference to his earlier claims that global warming is in fact a hoax. next, troops have been deployed to government buildings after violence erupted during mass protests calling for the president to step down. rioters smashed their way into several ministries with at least one being set alight. the deployment of soldiers has sent shockwaves to the capital. antigovernment protesters set fire to the ministry of agriculture after tens of resilience took to the streets of the capital to demand fresh elections and the resignation of the president. andce fired rubber bullets tear gas as demonstrators -- at demonstrators as they made their way to the presidential palace. >> this is happening in response to the government's refusal to engage with us and talk about reform. that's

, particularly in brussels, particularly in brussels, particularly in the commission, that britain has unrealistic expectations of how easy the brexit talks will be but it also has unrealistic expectations of the sort of result it might get at the end. i think what they are doing with this really quite hostile briefing is trying to set out how they feel things stand at the moment, and the sort of ceiling on expectations that they think britain should have for the sort of deal that is doable in the very tight time frame coming up. and important presumably from their point of view that the 27th appear at this stage to be united? the 27th at this stage to be united? the 27th at this stage certainly appear to be united, we saw that at the weekend when they quickly agreed their negotiating guidelines. but that unity has been achieved by talking about their goals in general terms. they all unanimous agree that britain should make some kind of payment for leaving the eu for a trade deal can be discussed but they have not yet discussed how much that payment should be and it's possible of cours

remember candidate trump used to call brussels a hell hole. he did during the campaign. another thing candidate trump said during the campaign is he called nato obsolete, today he meets with nato, there is a big gathering not an official meeting but it's a dinner. and at that dinner each leader of the 28 leaders macedonia is joining so 29, each have about three minutes to talk. they want to hear especially in the eastern part of the nato alliance they want to hear assurances from president trump that he is committed to the alliance. rebel he said secretary mattis here, vice president pends was in munich saying nato is part of the u.s. agenda. a lot want to hear that from president trump. president trump is expected to talk about not only global terrorism but other countries and their commitment to the 2% of gdp spending that amount on their defense budget. >> certainly another day of watching the president and all of the activity out of there. thank you. >>> while the president's trip appears to be going smoothly the white house dealing with a headline on russia and the

abc's karen travers is in brussels. any reaction from the white house about this pledge from the uk to stop sharing information? >> reporter: diane, no reaction yet from the white house and president trump will likely meet with british prime minister theresa may on the sidelines of this summit here in brussels. it is not on his formal schedule, though. the other day the president did reach out to theresa may immediately after the attack and pledge the full support and cooperation of the united states. and says that the united states stands strongly with the british people. now, diane, the issue of combating terrorism certainly now becoming more front and center here at this summit. president trump is expected to push the members to step up more in fighting isis. so certainly in the wake of the attack this has taken on a "a new way"ed urgency by the administration. >> we've seen scenes of the president with the king and queen of belgium as well as the prime minister there. what else is on his agenda today in brussels? >>

the account that i have seen, a lot of that is brussels gossip. but what is important is that there is a key question for people when they come to this election. there will be 27 other eu countries on one side of the table, and who is going to be there standing upfor and who is going to be there standing up for the uk? it's either going to be me orjeremy corbyn standing up for the uk? it's either going to be me orjeremy corbyn you wa nted going to be me orjeremy corbyn you wanted an early deal on eu citizens and brits abroad. they said no. you wa nted and brits abroad. they said no. you wanted parallel talks about our divorce deal and trade at the same time. they said no. that doesn't inspire confidence, does? i've a lwa ys inspire confidence, does? i've always said there are complexities to this issue and lots of details that will need to be agreed. brexit is not the only issue. back her on brexit or not, for some voters it's just not enough. the food banks are packed. there's problems with homelessness, house prices. polite maybe, but her first

reporting from brussels, thank you very much. you think european now i want to bring you up to speed in france because as soon as we send out results of the presidential election, people start thinking about what's going to happen next month, they're falling into the third round about the presidential election, that's the parliamentary election. we'll talk about that politico reporter karen france, every political party here in france is essentially having to reinvent this. >> absolutely. i think that the biggest questions are for the national front party, which fought really hard at this election and came up short, despite having people -- having favorable conditions, they're going through a lot of soul searching starting today, they'll have to reconfigure quite extensively if they want a chance in these elections, they've given a few hints already about what they might have done wrong and what they might change in order to have a wider appeal and one of the big questions for them is do they continue to be so europe row skeptic.

this is in them -- another part of the agenda brussels then. >> right, a very busy day here in brussels. ministers are going to be meeting, trying to reach a deal in order to give greece the latest tranche of its bailout fund. the chances at this point -- the eu officials are telling us it's 50-50. looks like what we can anticipate at the leases a meeting going listen to the knights again. >> those late letters -- we're good at that. jones hayden joins us from brussels. the next, when you hear what joe said -- setting up for the stall of the brexit negotiations -- we haven't even begun. , your focus too much on the nuances of movement in currencies. it is going to be a bumpy ride. that has manifested in the currency. 130, wepicked up at have volatility. this is one month volatility, it's rising up the six data row. breaking at the 50 day moving average. when you guys and girls to brexit, how do you look at the prism? the the currency, equity, or through what the prospectus of walking away with no deal? >> for sure, it's a source of volatility. when we tend to think about brexit or anyth

he's moving on to brussels, to europe. it's going to be a little more resistance there, just at the already least protests. what are you expecting? >> i don't expect a lot of substantive progress to be made there. i don't think that's necessarily the goal. it's -- this is the first foreign trip. this is an introductory sort of a format as hans was explaining there. it's not about substance. it may be a bit about reassurance. this is a president who had called nato obsolete, who called brussels a hell hole. so a lot of this will be to reassure, if he can, european leaders that he's not the menace that they supposed him to be when he was backing brexit and seeming to be an antagonist towards nato and europe. it may for the president also reassure domestic audience that he's not turning away from nato. certainly a more difficult thing for him to do now because of the controversy over russia. >> washington post got ahold of a transcript between president trump and the philippine president where trump said he was doing an unbel
