boris johnson wa nts to relationship begins. boris johnson wants to start that from a tough position because he needs to at some point make some compromises. we saw him when he was negotiating the withdrawal agreement making compromises and ultimately breached some of his own redlines over the border and irish sea in particular to get out of that deal. he was prepared to ship then, it would not be surprising if he was prepared to ship now. equipped were not nigel farage and his flag? waving a flag in the european parliament in brussels, this was the final official duties yesterday for him and other british meps. a lot of meps and other british meps. a lot of meps currently out of a job but for some like nigel farage, this is what they want, and a happier time to finish... because this is what the campaign for. all the specs of party candidates said that they were voting in protest of the fact that the european parliament would still be there when they thought the uk should have already left. i think this is actually a very happy

there is talk of having boris johnson addressing serious statesman. there is talk of having borisjohnson addressing both houses of congress. clearly it is likely he will abandon the aggressive behaviour because he wants to have a deal to show because then he can show off his statement ship. maybe if we hold our nerve long enough he will cave? yes, just like the first days of brexit! we can't finish without making reference to terryjones, the monty python star who has died at the age of 77 and this is a lovely picture on the front of the independent from a smiling terryjones in his younger days. wonderful. i'm far too young to have experienced it at the time but i love monty python growing up because it is one of those things that passes down the generations. we all watch life of brian and appreciate his genius. i remember him being very political, very outspoken about things, torture in the us and wars, he did not hold back from talking about political opinions. so nice to hear about him beyond the perform at he was clearly a real polymath. —— and

boris johnson, so far, seems to be indicating he will not gndnt another re. >> boris johnson's position is untenable. scotland, we won 45% of the vote, 80% of the seats in scotland. boris johnson only 143% of the seats in the u.k.. he cannot see that he has a mandate for brexit with only 43% of the vote if he says we don't have a mandate for independence ferendum with 45% of the vote. is keee are going to d trying to move people toward independence, keep talking about the benefits of it, and if you seen the outcome of that, polling for the first time sinc 2017 showing that yes is ahead, peopleant scotland to be an independent country. christian: what she also said was that scotland needs to be part of the european union because he needs to be a modern, progressive, open, tolerant country. you can be all of those things with a separate political system to the e.u. >> but the problem is, we have a political system that means we are joined to the u.k. joed to the u.k., we don't have freedom of access to movement, freedom li immigration that we would like. i have seen tfi cultural be as wel

that will be difficult for boris johnson. notjust collocated because of all the different national and supranational if you can use that word, epic economically and sexually, no offence to anybody, it's economically tiny. politically it's economically tiny. politically it's enormous. semi—different issues and kind of a patchwork of all sorts of different things that might explode on their own. the signs in the uk side that they do not want to do, and is agreed till everything is agreed, they want to do this piece by piece and may be that the only way that they can really get it done. because could you ever get all agreed? barnier who is staying on a chief negotiator said and went into bit more detail but what i got the impression from him that the deal the other stuff will be conditional on two other deals being done first, one the fisheries deal, which they wa nt to one the fisheries deal, which they want to have done and dusted by the summer, and also an arrangement and agreement on the so—called level playing field. ho

we thought a theresa may or boris johnson dealwould do. in we thought a theresa may or boris johnson deal would do. in your own plan you are trying to have it both ways and that failed. we were trying to bring together both sides, whether they voted leave or remain but i think the idea that brexit was the only issue in this election or even that in our heartlands it was the determining factor because if you look at what has happened in our heartlands, we have been losing votes for a long time over the period. but the point is not about either of the policies or any of the policies individually — you were pa rt policies individually — you were part of the top team that has just taken labour to part of the top team that has just ta ken labour to another part of the top team that has just taken labour to another historic defeat. how can you be the person to turn the page? because we need to restore the trust and understand what has happened. i do not meet anybody on the election trail who said everything is fine, i don't wa nt said everyt

of course boris johnson's argument is european partnership. of course borisjohnson's argument is he's letting his ministers do the talking, the masters... we wouldn't have seen theresa may do that. in any devil medic situation that she faced during her tenure, any devil medic situation that she faced during hertenure, she any devil medic situation that she faced during her tenure, she did not shy away from those big moments at the dispatch box. she could have easily dispatched gavin williamson at the time, but she didn't, she spent a lot of time at the dispatch box dealing with foreign affairs and very serious devil medic issues. you know much better than i do, that is not just the arithmetic know much better than i do, that is notjust the arithmetic but know much better than i do, that is not just the arithmetic but the atmospherics have completely changed, from having had theresa may and fora changed, from having had theresa may and for a few months, borisjohnson having had a very disputations, confrontational parliament with every vote on a

of course this is down to break said british boris johnson thinks that quick trade deals can be made with african countries he may have another thing coming to him of course china is notable for its massive trade investment strategies in africa they've been going on for more than a decade actually they've been going on for centuries but of course in the new chinese error they have been continuing where the british companies with their colonial reputations with their reputations for linkages between themselves an arms deals and appalling mining mining scandals are regarding british companies is another matter similarly there are british troops in mali there is a strong british military presence so how the military presence the scandals over mining over the colonial inheritance how these all feature in a sudden easy quick fix to brics it problems as regards britain's trade deficit will have to wonder about that beyond the arguable bluster of today's meetings. iran is threatening to quit a global nuclear nonproliferation treaty and to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and signed

boris johnson the prime minister is on his latest charm offensive in an attempt to restore bush post bricks at business relations in his attempt to will he's hosting the u.k. african summit right here in london and dressing several african nations but interestingly it was on a much smaller scale than that of his counterparts like that of russia and china this time around for a strong sense it's a much more intimate affair hosting just $21.00 african countries though in his pitch the prime minister did acknowledge the competition coming from various other nations when it comes to investing in africa's economy but insisted that no one can match britain's quote breath and depth of expertise and while presenting the u.k. as the best partner for africa he also mentioned the change to the immigration system which he hopes will attract africa's best talents we in the u.k. have a very to jordan continuing to convince people across the continent that we're not just a great friend and ally a reliable ally but also the people you should be doing business with you'll be pleased to hear my friend

the planet hashi's during boris johnson's period as foreign secretary although it was the head of the diplomatic service who did this when i saw him he said he didn't even know this had happened the reason i'm saying they went 5 they were redeployed which is the biggest department in the british government today. suddenly you've got a department soaking up people from other ministries who from climate change will when discussing important things with the counterparts in the embassies around the world going into bricks that is what happened to be done will saying they went apps repairing for that yet no deal yet. that's not to say that boris johnson did you knew that he knew that this was happening and to stand i mean he is on the record and said he said good god i didn't know that when you told him that they'd be redeployed well i think i think the real question is and i have another interaction with the prime minister in his role as mayor a few weeks into his period as mayor he called me and asked me to carry commission into the future of the thames estuary airport he's in there on t

mandate for a referendum he just this last weekend has changed his tune in that possibly because of boris i think it's also interesting to look at the northern ireland situation there are many similarities in as much as northern ireland voted remain the majority voted to mean as indeed the majority in scotland did but northern ireland has come out of this with a very nice do it's good another bumper bonus coming a long down the tracks but significantly in the northern ireland agreement there was provision that if a majority of people in northern ireland wanted reunification they could have a poor to say to a so and that if i'm a member correctly and the legislation are violent they can have a poor theoretically every 7 years if the good friday agreement is 7 years printed off for nonviolent but not good enough for scotland well just at the very fact of having a referendum having a pool is good enough for 11 or good enough for scotland and of course the other thing i mean i don't begrudge the irish this a toll but the other thing is that ireland northern ireland thanks to boris's withdrawa

boris johnson wants to affecting the special relationship. borisjohnson wants to hit various us firms like facebook, and google with a so—called tech tax and as well as this he doesn't want to be in the iranian nuclear deal and on top of that, he wants huawei involved in 56 provision in a limited point around the uk. the us does not agree on any of these and is threatened all sorts of reaction. the least controversial ironically is iran because borisjohnson has managed to almost sued the white house by suggesting the deal would be rebranded the trump deal. in the white house is tweeted saying, excellent. with davos, threats by contrast that they won't co—operate on intelligence sharing if they let huawei in, fears of chinese intervention and international security infrastructure. meanwhile, the us treasury secretary. steve mnuchin, says they might come back with tariffs on the us car ——uk car industry. in this post brexit era, the uk doesn't really want to be cheesy of the united states. at a time when the chancellor is saying there w
