maybe if borisjohnson speculation about that. maybe if boris johnson knew all along that speculation about that. maybe if borisjohnson knew all along that he was. making too many demands of sajid javid in this made easier to put somebody new into the job. maybe he wanted him the whole time. the truth is we will never know for sure. sometimes these machiavellian things do go on in westminster. speaking to number ten last night, and into this morning, when i woke up and into this morning, when i woke up this morning, we all expected this to be fairly modest. a fairly dull reshuffle where some of the ministers that may be some of us have heard of or some we haven't would be moved around like chess pieces and also an ever so slightly but this wouldn't be a massive change to how government works. the chancellor resigning because he cannot accept something that the prime minister is attaching as a condition to hisjob is prime minister is attaching as a condition to his job is a prime minister is attaching as a condition to hisjob is a

borisjohnson will be reshuffled. borisjohnson will have had time here to think about who he wants there. there is a reshuffle in the context of a crisis and you remember theresa may was reshuffling people, not of her choosing. this has been a planned reshuffle for a long time and we can see people refusing jobs and some obstacles and hurdles, but i think this will be a chance for boris johnson to put people he wants in key roles to carry out the kind of policies he wants to pursue as prime minister, so it will be very interesting to see the characters that he promotes or moves into certain positions. keen to emphasise they want to bring forward a new generation with a new intake in 2017 to 2019 as well, so lots more mps will get morejunior to 2019 as well, so lots more mps will get more junior ministerial wells to prepare them for cabinet roles further down the line. it will be interesting to see these top jobs, whether any of those top positions will be reshuffled. we hadn't expected much movement but a number of th

he has been concerned —— borisjohnson. they have these weekly meetings by dominic cummings and he told them what he wants them to do and he's using this moment of power to say to these people," you're not wanted." buckland took the opposite decision and said "i wa nt to the opposite decision and said "i want to say, you need to go." sebastian and olivia thank you for coming in. it gives democrats a chance to question him on the white house's role in pushing for reduced sentences for roger stone. a shorter prison sentence for mr stone. he found guilty on seven counts of witness tampering, lying to congress, and obstruction of investigators. prosecutors had recommended up to nine years in prison. let's speak now to former federal prosecutorjoe moreno. joe, i wanted to start, what is it that the democrats are going to want to talk to him about? isn't going to be this issue, this alarm that we're seeing over the sentence for roger stone or other things they wanted to talk about in the past. the molar report, what will be their

borisjohnson's view, chancellors —— poor sajid javid. boris johnson's view, driven on chancellors —— poor sajid javid. borisjohnson's view, driven on by dominic cummings, difference between the organ grinder and the monkey, if you are borisjohnson, you want to place your bets on a clear direction, whether it is wise to un—loosen the spending corset, we don't know. he thinks that is what he needs to do to deliver on his prospectus to poorer parts of the country. that will happen whether anyone, whatever the name is, next door, likes it or not. going to some other appointments and departures, what do you make of them, what can you read into them? some are saying that though the people who did not back boris for the leadership, for example? case in point is julian smith, former northern ireland secretary. he got power—sharing up and running again in stormont and it is an incredible achievement yet because he was a remainer and was not always forthcoming when it came to support for the boris johnson, wobbly face last year when he tho

for borisjohnson the short are talking about with heathrow. for boris johnson the short term, he are talking about with heathrow. for borisjohnson the short term, he can say this is a matter for the courts, we are not going to appeal it, the appeal goes ahead and if there isn't appeal goes ahead and if there isn't a third runway then, politically and around heathrow that is useful for him. if that is, he can say it is a private sector project, it was passed by a previous parliament. private sector project, it was passed by a previous parliamentm wasn't me. quite funny that. boris johnson said once or twice that he wouldn't let this go ahead?” johnson said once or twice that he wouldn't let this go ahead? i will lie down with you in front of those bulldozers acclamation markm lie down with you in front of those bulldozers acclamation mark if they we re bulldozers acclamation mark if they were to appear, would you lie down in front of the bulldozers? 0r there are no immediate prospect of the bulldozers arriving. boris johnson was foreign secre

similarly, the metro also focuses on sajid javid quitting in a row with borisjohnson over his special advisors. he has been replaced by his deputy, rishi sunak. aside from sajid javid, others lost their places in cabinet. that's on the front page of the guardian. alok sharma has replaced andrea leadsom as business secretary. the daily express dubs borisjohnson as the "iron man" after he ordered saijd javid to fire his closest aides ahead of a cabinet reshuffle. and the daily mail features a story on prince harry and meghan markle. the paper reports they are axing up to 15 of their uk staff and closing their buckingham palace office. well, in spite of that story, really there is only one story on all the front pages, isn't there? that is the departure of sajid javid in the context of the government reshuffle. anna, let's start with you. will the departure of sajid javid the of any interest to readers of the wall street times? the big point of interest here is the power of the chancellor has in trade negotiations with the eu. particularly in terms of what it means of what it means for f

chief adviser tomic cummings and was quite civil as i would say torts borisjohnson even quite civil as i would say torts boris johnson even though most people look at it and saying, he's the bigger man, he was certain poorly treated i think it is fair to say. but i guess one of the things he's going to have to be thinking about is is there route back to a place in borisjohnson public cabinet. so i think this may be the start of starting to think about keeping his profile up in this interview is very interesting so because of course it's focusing on what he would have done if you would have rate remained as chancellor offering two of cut to pension the dick is a great of income tax and the budget had he chancellor also offering the reductions on duties. if you watch the reason why he went from there is a feeling that he was blocking this kind of desire for borisjohnson and blocking this kind of desire for boris johnson and his advisers to turn on the spending tabs to get the booster in and going and getting investment into some of those northern and midland seats that voted forjohnso

and maybe gove, but came out very early for borisjohnson. and maybe that's got something to do with it? loyalty cou nts something to do with it? loyalty counts in politics, so it will be a bsently counts in politics, so it will be absently fascinating to see what he does with it. all the gigs are held by brexiteers at. i fell into this trap of thinking withdrawal agreements are done, we don't need to have that brexit and remain budget. i talk to someone early today, and it was like have we all missed a trick here? looking forward to what will happen, has there been a clear out because we don't want any more eruptions over whether we will extend the transition period and things like that? it could be we get to october and we are right back where we were last year. rishi sunak was on the television a while ago saying it doesn't matter if we don't have a trade deal with the eu. michael gove has more powerfrom today, completely in charge of the cabinet office and all its elements, he was already powerful and lots of ways. rishi sunak is now chan

i don't anyone would accuse borisjohnson of not being intelligent, ijust borisjohnson of not being intelligent, i just don't think borisjohnson of not being intelligent, ijust don't think he has the time. nowadays to be prime minister you have to be across so much, it probably is about saying to the people who provide the memos, be more succinct, get to the more quickly, don't waffle. more succinct, get to the more quickly, don't wafflelj more succinct, get to the more quickly, don't waffle. ithink more succinct, get to the more quickly, don't waffle. i think you should have an expectation that the first lord of the treasury is willing to read lengthy, detailed memo. i don't think that is asking too much. i don't think it is. he has to be across everything, but you don't need him to necessarily run it. the people who run the treasury run the treasury. i know he is first lord of the treasury, but bullet points never did anybody else any harm. to give it some context, what they are saying is preferably a maximum of four pages of a4, two pages... maximum of four pages of a4, two pages. . . are ma

it means may be borisjohnson could rise above it. i don't think we should in any way think he wasn't com pletely we should in any way think he wasn't completely supportive of what is going on. i think they can be pretty ruthless if they want. the big thing is about the functioning of government. will this change ultimately make it work better or actually will it mean there's more acrimony and bad will swelling around whitehall and around the government? many thanks. with me is baroness fall. kate fall was deputy chief of staff to david cameron when he was prime minister. you know the workings of number ten and number11 you know the workings of number ten and number 11 very well indeed. this was supposed to be a conventional reshuffle. it ended up with drama, didn't it? i don't think this would have been planned by anyone. reshuffle days are all about fresh face of government, strong government and now the central story is an unexpected —— unexpected resignation. it looks it looks like sajid javid was pushed into this. he was neve

i think that borisjohnson has decided that it think that borisjohnson has decided thatitis think that borisjohnson has decided that it is not the way that it will work with this government and that they have to have a chancellor who is in step with my ministry not working against him. was that your experience with george osborne and david cameron? you have to remember that david cameron not only had a chance in opposition but also had two cummins who was as her adviser —— dominic cummings he was his adviser and they worked closely together and he was powerful. their relationship was good and they had similar ambitions and that is what they are trying to replicate today. i don‘t want to show a lack of respect, but does this mean that rishi sunak is basically a puppet? noi rishi sunak is basically a puppet? no i don't think so. you do not have to be at odds with the prime minister to be to be at odds with the prime ministerto be a to be at odds with the prime minister to be a strong chancellor. you can be a strong chancellor by delivering what the prime minister wants to set out.

we are winning elections and borisjohnson is not going to be able to hold this line. he said no to the government of scotland a few weeks ago and look at what happened since then. the edinburgh parliament has voted by a majority of ten to reinforce that desire for an independence referendum. has that made a blind bit of difference to boris johnson's position? a straight answer please. no is the answer. the scots are a strong bunch and what you have seen in the polls you referred to, three polls over the course of the last few days, majority support for independence in each one and support for the snp in the forthcoming scottish election is sitting at 50%. boris johnson cannot be a democracy denier, he cannot hold the line that westminster can say no to scotland. what i say to colleagues is that we need to stick with the strategy that is working which is uniting the people of scotland behind us and when you look at the polling you referred to, a substantial number of people who voted for other parties... hang on. i need to ask a few questions here. firstly, your messag

he says borisjohnson is a dangerous man so we will have five years to see how dangerous borisjohnson is before keir starmer has a chance, if he wins, to take him on. keir starmer against boris johnson, could you see him winning that battle? possibly. i don't see that battle? possibly. i don't see that keir starmer has the charisma of borisjohnson. i do think we are i'iow of borisjohnson. i do think we are now into personality politics. the labour party's now into personality politics. the labour pa rty's problem now into personality politics. the labour party's problem is they don't have somebody who has the star quality. you both being liverpool fans, did you not notice how much billy corkill he looks in that photo. i didn't, actually but thank you for pointing that out. he might win some votes if he brings back brookside. he is speaking sense. labour does need to unite and it is in the grip of the hard left. i don't know how you move it into a situation where it may unite behind that, but there will still be people within the labour party who either leave or don't vote for them. ba

borisjohnson told him the government was working "flat out" to help people. the angry exchanges during prime minister's questions came after days of heavy rain. an emergency evacuation took place when rising waters on the river severn "overwhelmed" flood defences at ironbridge in shropshire. residents were also evacuated from their homes in bewdley, worcestershire. jeremy corbyn suggested the prime minister should visit flood—hit areas — as he himself had done. when i visited pontypridd last week i saw at first hand the damage and destruction these floods had caused to people's lives, homes and businesses. but the prime minister was silent, sulking in his grace and favour mansion at chevening. after two weeks of flooding, mr speaker, memes are being produced, asking not "where?s wally? " but, "where?s boris? " when is the government going to stop hiding and show people that he actually cares? mr speaker, i am very proud of the response that the government has mounted over the past few days. we convened the national flood response centre on the 14th. since

ithink, if borisjohnson andi ministers. ithink, if borisjohnson and i think he really should and probably will, use this opportunity to put a heavyweight on the environmentjust to put a heavyweight on the environment just partly as a message to show he cares about it and it is important and not put some old crank as previous prime ministers have. you mentioned justice secretary which has been a curse to many a career, just as the office job. a group ofjamaican career, just as the office job. a group of jamaican born career, just as the office job. a group ofjamaican born people career, just as the office job. a group of jamaican born people who subsequent committed crimes in the uk who are being deported and were deported this morning. some did not get on the plane because the judges said they did not have working mobile phones which meant they were not able to get legal advice and therefore it is unjust to deport them without legal representation. they won that and reportedly boris johnson and dominic cummings are furious

have to have an expensive excuse don't have to have an expensive excuse like not to vote like when borisjohnson discovered he had to be in afghanistan on the time of the third runway vote. hejust had be in afghanistan on the time of the third runway vote. he just had to be in afghanistan on the time of the third runway vote. hejust had to be there. i unfortunately missed the vote. no danger of any of that, no ministers were defined unexpected entries in their diaries saying to have to be somewhere. and also they have to be somewhere. and also they have delayed some of the elements leaking up with others. so the hope is if they are logical about this but they can then tie that into other improvement works across the north. so it's quite early but andy burnham mayor of greater manchester seem burnham mayor of greater manchester seem to making positive sounds evening. and i think this is one of those opportunities for investment that actually does affect people. that's the difficulty. four shots and can pledge this money but less people see a bus, i cannot believe this is radical in 2020, but not

what will you do as borisjohnson strategic question. what will you do as boris johnson emphatically rejects the notion that he and the westminster parliament will give you the right to a second referendum to examine your party already talking about taking this to lourdes. a colleague of yours is saying that we need a multifaceted strategy. she seems to be contemplating legal action to try and get the government to back down on its opposition. what i would say to colleagues is to have a degree of patience. we havejust had an absolutely outstanding election result and if you go back and look at the eu elections, we got 38 descent of the vote in the eu elections. the higher share of the vote we have ever had in a european election and the high share of the vote that any party in western europe got in the european election. we are winning elections and boris johnson is not going to be able to hold this line to the he said no to the government of scotland a few weeks ago and look at what happened since then. the edinburgh parliament has vote

dominic cummings's defence, at the end of the day borisjohnson is in charge, he doesn't have to do any of the stuff, he makes the decisions. secondly, there's a whole other side to dominic cummings. if you talk to cabinet ministers privately, they'll say he's very intelligent, very polite, the image of him that has been created in the press is only partly true. and there's a whole other side to a very intelligent guy who's trying to make change. so the character is brilliant, to breed about and talk about, but it's only one side of the story. we've not got much time, but the daily express, boris is the iron man, tightening his grip. that is complete reversal from the mirror. we must leave it there because sadly we are out of timejust for now, there because sadly we are out of time just for now, because that is it for the paper is it for the papers this hour. jack and anna will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. the headlines are coming up at 11pm. stay with us for that. thank you for watching, bye—bye. hello, you will have heard that storm dennis is on the way this we

will need a bridge ora be, borisjohnson will need a bridge or a railway to say look at this nice new shiny thing over here, don't worry about that, that will be fine, we have our sovereignty back, thatis fine, we have our sovereignty back, that is why we are building a railway even if it is the chinese or whoever. how do you like the bridge? i don't think it will work. this is the mayor of london who decided to spend... agnes, how credible is this going to be with the market?” spend... agnes, how credible is this going to be with the market? i don't know but what i know is that it is watch very keenly by the french right, because how red a tory can you be? borisjohnson manages to be that sort of right wing figure, he has really achieved something, and it really gives ideas not only to probably the french right, but to all those centre—right parties that have sort of collapsed and disappeared in the last few years. what is the idea that it gives them? well, the fact that you are socially conservative, but the politics, at least on the economy, is going left. posterity and all thos

we are winning elections and borisjohnson is not going to be able to hold this line. he said no to the government of scotland a few weeks ago and look at what happened since then. the edinburgh parliament has voted by a majority of ten to reinforce that desire for an independence referendum. has that made a blind bit of difference to boris johnson's position? a straight answer please. no is the answer. the scots are a strong bunch and what you have seen in the polls you referred to, three polls over the course of the last few days, majority support for independence in each one and support for the snp in the forthcoming scottish election is sitting at 50%. boris johnson cannot be a democracy denier, he cannot hold the line that westminster can say no to scotland. what i say to colleagues is that we need to stick with the strategy that is working which is uniting the people of scotland behind us and when you look at the polling i need to ask a few questions here. firstly, your message tojoanna cherry is no, we will not take immediate legal action. and people like kenny

borisjohnson wa nt sides setting out. borisjohnson want it all tied up this year, a lot of people doubt that can be done but he is saying there is no reason why we can't put are also making it clear that the uk will no longer follow eu rules. can speak to the business minister now. things have changed a lot, we started with conservative ministers saying we would have the same benefits as in the single market, then theresa may saying there would be think specialist and now boris johnson admitting there will be barriers to trade —— frictionless trade. admitting there will be barriers to trade -- frictionless trade. what he is saying is we will negotiate in good faith. we want a canada style free trade agreement which allows us as the political declaration, which i describe as a heads of terms effectively between the two sides, we want no quotas and no barriers to trade in terms of tariffs. and what boris is a saying is on a level playing field, the uk is already adhering to very high standards, whether on maternity leav

you probably wouldn‘t have expected borisjohnson to hold the line so firmly. equally at number ten, they would‘ve expected it sajid javid to walk out rather than accept us. so i think both sides miscalculated strength of feeling. but in the independent, there‘s a slightly different take. they say there were suspicions that number ten was prepared for the move as treasury chief rishi sunak was summoned within minutes to take over at sajid javid‘sjob. summoned within minutes to take over at sajid javid‘s job. what do you think? i think you often have people waiting by in the wings during a reshuffle, it is part of what heightens the drama. i don't think we can necessarily breed that much into the timing of his arrival. that meeting between boris and sajid javid, which i would‘ve loved to have been a fly on the wall for that, went on for a long time, over an hour. they were arguing about it, i think it wasn‘t a heated argument but it was very clearly to sites that weren‘t moving, they took a break at one point and came back in. there would‘ve been

borisjohnson insists the uk won't follow eu rules after that. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier says that the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but will not accept britain having ‘unfair competitive adva ntages‘. both men have been speaking today, here's a flavour of what they had to say. we are embarked now on a great voyage. we are ready to offer a trade deal... the uk will maintain the highest standards in these areas, better, in many respects, those of the eu without the compulsion of a treaty. the more we have common standards, the higher quality access the eu will be able to offer. the question is whether we will reach a trading relationship with the eu comparable to ca nada's or australia's. the uk's answer to these questions, the key questions will be fundamental for the level of our future relationship. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. michel barnier and boris johnson speaking earlier. let's get some analysis now. on the face of it the two men are miles and miles apart. is this just

the president has spoken to borisjohnson over the uk. the president has spoken to boris johnson over the phone uk. the president has spoken to borisjohnson over the phone and repeatedly exchange hard words over his disappointment that the uk is plugging on with the decision to involve huawei in the rollout of the sg involve huawei in the rollout of the 5g network. this is not the only source of discontent. britain has broken from the us way of strategic thinking, our response to iran was also closer to the eu. all of this is leading to a situation we are sending out mixed messages to our closest allies... at a time when we are supposed to be striking a post brexit trade deals. it gives an indication of how difficult the trade deal is going to be. the american administration is clearly about america first. they are strong trading partner. and you also have donald trump, who is a little bit erratic, quite emotional and takes things quite personally so it does make quite a hard counterpart in these negotiations but there is a bigger questio

borisjohnson in boris johnson in bullish borisjohnson in bullish note on a future trade deal with the eu? we have left the eu but broadly speaking, just how far we depart is up speaking, just how far we depart is upforgrabs and speaking, just how far we depart is up for grabs and negotiation and right now, as we said, we are fully aligned with the eu and broadly speaking the further we go, the easier it is to set our own rules and regulations and do trade deals but the more difficult the existing, sea mless but the more difficult the existing, seamless trade with the eu becomes. borisjohnson is talking about the canada deal, what is that? zero taxes on trade, no less tolerance for goods, that is it in canada has with the eu and we would like that and it also does involve some checks on regulations for goods and trade but it is a rather light touch in terms of having to align to the eu standards in terms of the level playing field considerations. what the eu said today as we cannot have the eu said today as we cannot have the same deal because we are so close to it as an economy that w

borisjohnson's new cabinet meets for the first time since yesterday's dramatic resignation of the chancellor sajid javid. we are here to deliver for the people of this country, who elected us to serve them. the people's government has to get on with delivering the people's priorities, and in the next few years we must get on with our basic work. the number of cases of mumps in england — at its highest for a decade. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with holly — more t20 action between england and south africa — another close—run thing? after wednesday's one run defeat — england's cricketers have it all to prove in their second t20 international in south africa. we'll be looking ahead to this afternoon's showdown in durban. thanks, holly, and tomasz has all the weather — last weekend it was a storm called ciara, this time it's one called dennis. ciara, this time it's facility ciara, this time it's and three days of dennis, facility and three days of dennis, in fact, voracious conditions will ta ke in fact, voracious conditions will take us into monday, disruption and damag

borisjohnson. again. mps have held theirfirst big debate on the environment bill. the government says the ambitious plan aims to improve air and water quality, tackle plastic pollution, restore wildlife and protect the climate. but opposition and some government mps called for tougher measures. the environment secretary, set out the principles behind the bill. the polluters should pay. that harm should be prevented. but if it cannot be prevented but it should be rectified at the source. that the environment should be taken into consideration across government policymaking. and a precautionary approach should be taken. but many mps thought the legislation needed to be strengthened. one of the issues i think for so many of our communities, is actually appreciating just how severe this crisis is. particularly on air quality as we have heard from many interventions. does he agree with me that we need to put the power with the people, and actually increase the investment in monetary stations and even use refuse lorries, have monitors fitted to refuse lorries to go down

i did not vote for the borisjohnson deal at second reading because i loved borisjohnson's deal i went and voted for it because the government didn't have a majority and we had a chance to get a close economic cooperation that we were talking about and to protect peoples jobs and lives and you know what, theirjobs and lives are more important than my job theirjobs and lives are more important than myjob and my reputation which is why i did it and why i will always go out and fight for this country, but can i push back against one thing? you are right to challenge us on policy and to wa nt right to challenge us on policy and to want to hear what we have to say about the future but these formats don't give us the chance to do that and you will hear a lot of agreement between us on policy. becky talks about a green industrial revolution andi about a green industrial revolution and i could not agree more. five yea rs and i could not agree more. five years ago i was the shadow energy and climate secretary calling for that and put in place plans to do that and put in place plans to do that w

between the us president and boris johnson and, yet, between the us president and borisjohnson and, yet, and this shows the quick —— quixotic nature of president trump. a few hours later he is ina trump. a few hours later he is in a press conference with netanyahu in a press conference with neta nyahu talking about in a press conference with netanyahu talking about this good friend borisjohnson. so once again, the uk relationship with the united states is in the spotlight but also how the uk is trying to, in a way, look both ways to get want a trade deal with the united states but it also wants to maintain a deep trading partnership with china. the german newspaper now. and a political storm in one particular state, in an eastern state of thuringia. why is this a controversial thing? thuringia is one of the states in germany, the former east of germany before reunification. the alternative for deutschland, the far right party, the party that would probably take germany out of the eu, that has a very hard line on immigration in response to angela merkel‘s policies, they have ba

but borisjohnson on the sacked as defence secretary. but boris johnson on the whole is quite magnanimous. he seemed tojust punish penny for backing jeremy hunt and the leadership election, which seemed out of character. so, i think that's quite a good chance she will be back. i think it was an interesting approach. from the beginning, it was setting up that that this will be revolutionary, radical, and basically scared quite a lot of ministers. they had been very quiet. they were doing their homework, finishing their boxes. not as many lunches with journalists perhaps, dominic cummings network of spies. so, all of those kinds of things. you seem to be very effective in terms of managing the front there. and now, they are breathing out there will be no revolution. one name in here that might surprise people, because he was a bit of a darling of the party for a while, cox, the attorney—general. for a while, cox, the attorney-general. i know coming i'm going to miss him. he entertains eve ryo ne going to miss him. he entertains everyone

borisjohnson said the government's record was phenomenal. last year was the first year on record that renewables produced more of the energy of this country than fossil fuels. we are delivering for the people of this country, we are reducing greenhouse gases. all he produces, i'm afraid, is a load of hot air. jeremy corbyn honed in on what claire 0'neill had said. his own former tory minister said, we should have clear actions, and agreed plan and a road map for the year of action but we do not. so, why is the prime minister failing so spectacularly to measure up to the scale of the climate crisis that this country and indeed this planet is facing? mr speaker, this is beyond satire. this government, this is the first country, the first major economy in the world, in the world to have set a target of carbon neutral by 2050. earlier in the week, politicaljournalists walked out of a downing street briefing after number ten said some publications weren't welcome. the snp leader at westminster reckoned borisjohnson was taking a leaf out of anothe

eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu. pot... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections and the environment or anything similar any more than the eu should be obliged to be that —— to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal is the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas. but... we must agree specific guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. level playing field over the long-term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway style close relationship with the eu as a solution. instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he said it will have to be an arrangement like the australian one. it doesn't have a trade deal wit

we have had some tough talking from borisjohnson. as we have had some tough talking from boris johnson. as i we have had some tough talking from borisjohnson. as i suppose you might expect ahead of these trade negotiations. they don't actually start in earnest until march, is that right? that is absolutely right. the eu, after announcing on monday what his proposals for how the negotiations will proceed, are going to look like, they need to get them signed off by the 27 remaining eu countries, which means negotiations will not begin until march. but if you thought that you had heard everything that you were going to hear about the relationship between the uk and europe by brexit day, think again. it is still going on. it will be going on at least until the end of this year. a speech on monday from boris johnson until the end of this year. a speech on monday from borisjohnson setting out what he has as his admission for the trade negotiations. aiming for a deal similar to the one of the uk has with canada. but making clear that actual

i think borisjohnson is speculation on that front. i think boris johnson is going speculation on that front. i think borisjohnson is going to get on the front foot with that. the briefing from number ten overnight is that there will be the same number of women in cabinet as now, there won‘t bea women in cabinet as now, there won‘t be a reduction and they want to bring more women intojunior ministerial roles. that is part of the story of tomorrow, i think. rather than this radical reshape of their cabinet and government, there will be a few minor tweaks here and there from boris johnson will be a few minor tweaks here and there from borisjohnson but a lot of people brought intojuniorjobs with an eye to bring them further up the ranks later. so, some new faces in there, not necessarily big jobs, but basically being groomed for those jobs. cani can i ask a stupid question, which is why is this necessary at all? he came into power six months ago, there was a huge massacre ben, 17 replacements, why do you need to reshuffle this now? th

borisjohnson today emphasised the importance of the project. this is a fantastic project for the country. it delivers massive increased capacity for rail and allows us to go forward and develop northern powerhouse rail which is exactly what is needed, you need connectivity east—west in the north, you cannot make sense of that without hs2. this is also an opportunity for us to do the big local projects needed to be done, so we are investing massively in buses, 4000 new buses, british made, zero carbon, beautiful british buses all over the place, and they are crucial for people's connectivity, making a huge difference to people's lives plus a huge investment in cycling and about a billion going in to cycle highways, making sure is —— making sure cycling is safe and attractive. we will also have a lot ofa attractive. we will also have a lot of a roads coming forwards, you will hear what will happen with bypasses and roundabouts. all those are designed to help the productivity the whole of of the uk. they only work if you do it together with

borisjohnson said the government's record was phenomenal. last year was the first year on record that renewables produced more of the energy of this country than fossil fuels. we are delivering for the people of this country, we are reducing greenhouse gases. all he produces, i'm afraid, is a load of hot air. jeremy corbyn honed in on what claire o'neill had said. his own former tory minister said, we should have clear actions, an agreed plan and a road map for the year of action but we do not. so, why is the prime minister failing so spectacularly to measure up to the scale of the climate crisis that this country and indeed this planet is facing? mr speaker, this is beyond satire. this government, this is the first country, the first major economy in the world, in the world to have set a target of carbon neutral by 2050. earlier in the week, politicaljournalists walked out of a downing street briefing after number ten said some publications weren't welcome. the snp leader at westminster reckoned borisjohnson was taking a leaf out of another

the lessons that borisjohnson learned as mayor of london, that a city thatis mayor of london, that a city that is keeping on moving, economically viable, will be good for the economy. that is the message he is looking to spread. if you keep a country moving, it becomes stronger economically, it becomes easier to work in and people to have a quality of life in. the starting point is, what are your oven ready, shovel ready projects. it has been under scrutiny. there has been huge opposition for years, as there is to most projects, absolutely. but britain and the uk as absolutely. but britain and the ukasa absolutely. but britain and the uk as a nation has for decades looked at infrastructure full of it is time we got on. what about the issue of london to hear, london today, what about theissue hear, london today, what about the issue of trying to get across the north? people that work harrogate or other play —— other parts, they can get to london in a couple of hours but they can't get to manchester quickly. it is a nightmare as the roads are completely jammed. there will be announ

but the mirror says the former chancellor, george osborne, is urging borisjohnson to do more, in order to combat the virus. the telegraph reports that health officials believe one in ten people in the uk could end up in hospital with coronavirus. according to the guardian, the red cross could be drafted in to help the nhs cope with the outbreak, as part of an official action plan being drawn up. the financial times leads with the turmoil in world stock markets, as investors‘ fears mount over the economic impact of the coronavirus. so, coronavirus dominating all the front pages — let's start with the virus in that case. the front page of the daily telegraph we should begin with. plans and predictions of what is going to happen now. if you are anxious about coronavirus i would stay clear of the telegraph because it is all there with a six page guide as for dealing with the coronavirus. the main aspect, the outbreak could leave one in ten in hospital. 70% of returns they say could develop the virus in around 1596 could develop the virus in around 15% of those could end up in hospital.

of the decisions being taken in downing street, and some question about the kind of government that borisjohnson wants to run. climate activists have dug up part of a lawn outside trinity college, in cambridge. members of extinction rebellion say it's in protest against the college's involvement in a major development in the suffolk countryside, which they say will be damaging to the natural habitat. a cambridgeshire police spokeswoman said the force was liaising with the college and that "a crime has been recorded for criminal damage". a trinity spokeswoman said the college "respects the right to freedom of speech and non—violent protest but draws the line at criminal damage and asked the protesters to leave". now on bbc news, sport today. hello, i'm chetan pathak and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme: manchester united beat chelsea to move within three points of the champions league places. after nearly eight years away, kim clijsters returns. we'll show you how she got on in herfirst match back: and england netballer, summer artman, tells us how

if borisjohnson manages to be that sort of right—wing figure, he will have really achieved something, and it really gives ideas not only to probably the french right, but actually to all those centre—right parties that have sort of collapsed and disappeared in the last few years. what is the idea that it gives them, exactly? well, the fact that you are socially conservative, but the politics, are at least on the economy, is going left. the end of austerity and all those public services that people a re really relying on and one more of. you could talk about the yellow vest movement in france, they want more public services, is it possible in the country that actually gives so much public service, more than any other country in europe? but this sort of red tourism is very interesting, because you need to finance it. and they might achieve something that labour actually wanted to do. so, are they going to go french and have a mansion tax? because they will have to either borrow, but perhaps borrow or tax the rich? fury will come from traditional conservatives who just want low taxes a

in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wants. we want a thriving trade and economic relationship with the eu. but... there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting eu rules on competition policy, subsidies, social protections, the environment or anything similar, any more than the eu should be obliged to accept uk rules. meanwhile, in brussels... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal as the central pillar of this partnership, including zero tariffs and zero quotas. but... we must now agree on specific and effective guarantees to ensure a level playing field over the long—term. it is a gap negotiators will have to work out how to bridge in the coming months. borisjohnson has ruled out a norway—style close relationship with the eu as a solution. instead, he wants an agreement like canada's, which has almost no tariffs but does have checks. if he can't have that, he says it will have to be an arrangement like australia's. it doesn't have a trade deal with the eu, although it's negotiating one, but

borisjohnson says britain won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal by the end of the year. in the united states, democrat presidential candidates go head—to—head in iowa, as the first event to decide the party's final nominee gets under way. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate andrews, economics correspondent for the spectator, and professor anand menon, who's director of uk in a changing europe. thank you very much for being with us. all of tomorrow's front pages are already in. tomorrow's metro leads on the terror attack in south london. the knifeman told friends he wanted to act out scenes from the violent video game call of duty. the financial times reports that the chancellor sajid javid is set to miss his own debt targets as the bank of england forecasts a £12 billion black hole. the telegraph says more than a dozen jihadist terrorists are due to be released from prison in the next few months. the paper also carries a photograph of the queen, on her first public duties of the year, visiting r

boris johnson is planning. telegraph was saying this is what borisjohnson is planning. the real problem is he spending a lot of money on things and at some point it got to raise it, the time teresa will be the budget next month and it will be the budget next month and it will be the budget next month and it will be studied'sjob. will be the budget next month and it will be studied's job. will he still be imposed 7 will be studied's job. will he still be imposed? i think he will still be yes. one of the ideas is the mansion tax. this is a straightforward taken from labour that ed miliband tried to introduce what would be a levy on extensive homes, the other thing would be considered isjust extensive homes, the other thing would be considered is just another band of council tax. a very much these are labour type policies which is quite interesting the way that borisjohnson is is quite interesting the way that boris johnson is operating. he setting out a message presumably to the north where the tories picked up so the north where the tories picked up so many seats from la

labour saying today that borisjohnson response. labour saying today that boris johnson needs response. labour saying today that borisjohnson needs to get a grip on the situation and while they thought the situation and while they thought the broad approach was the right one in terms of containing the virus, the shadow health secretary was critical of borisjohnson the shadow health secretary was critical of boris johnson for waiting until monday to call and share a cobra meeting. they have been taking place but they have been shared are the health secretary. as we heard on that package there, the government is keen to suggest it is getting a grip on the situation and that it does have a grip on the situation, borisjohnson that it does have a grip on the situation, boris johnson insisting that tackling coronavirus is now the top priority of his administration. there've been sharp falls in global stock markets because of concerns over coronavirus — the total cost of this week's plunge in values has been more than $5 trillion. in the

borisjohnson likely to be what they talked about. boris johnson started likely to be what they talked about. borisjohnson started his meeting, this is what he told his new look cabinet. it is great to see you all and congratulations on achieving or even retaining the great offices of state that you hold. that is no mean feat and it is great to see everybody. we're here to deliver for the people of this country who elected us to save them, the people's government and have to get on with delivering the people's priorities. over the next few years, we need to get on with error basic work. you know what it is. we are going to cut crime, tackle homelessness, tackle waiting lists in the nhs, and how many hospitals are we going to build? how many more police officers are weak recruiting? 20,000. and enosis are we recruiting? exactly. and how many we recruiting? exactly. and how many were buses? 40,000 beautiful british low carbon buses. all those things we want to achieve. —— 4000. this is about improving the quality of everybody's life

but the mirror says the former chancellor, george osborne, is urging borisjohnson to do more, in order to combat the virus. the telegraph reports that health officials believe one in ten people in the uk could end up in hospital with coronavirus. according to the guardian, the red cross could be drafted in to help the nhs cope with the outbreak, as part of an official action plan being drawn up. the financial times leads with the turmoil in world stock markets, as investors' fears mount over the economic impact of the coronavirus. and, the i also focuses on the market reaction to the virus, with shares suffering one of their worst weeks since the 2008 financial crisis. so, coronavirus dominating all the front pages — let's see what our reviewers make of it all. let's start off with these plans that we are hearing about. front page of the telegraph, shelley?m you were not concerned about this particular then you've just been through all the front pages and you can see there's been a lot of talk of tipping point in terms of the virus itself but in terms of the newspapers has been a tip

and the interesting the idea of borisjohnson saying the course. the decisions there we have said yes, we are going to pass all of this down to those local leaders in north england, a lot of were labour leaders, so, basically, they're the ones who can get a lot of the flack on deciding how this is implemented. definitely, which is quite clever idea, to pass the buck oi'i quite clever idea, to pass the buck on at this moment. i think it's not really surprising at all that boris johnson is going ahead with this. he's always been kind of obsessed with his legacy and what's going to be left after he's gone. and obviously, a big grand infrastructure project is brilliant. every prime minister loves a grand project. i think boris johnson particularly really loves that sort of thing. on the other hand, i think it surprising that he has decided to irritate the grassroots at such an early stage command quite a lot of his new mps. so you can use some of these mps who were elected two months ago, already sounding really... to say they are supporting the per mi
