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 we would have to have a more stringent set of level playing field, particularly on competition and supporting our industry. if boris johnson says we cannot get this canada deal we will go for the australia deal instead, what is that? there is no deal between australia and the eu save for wine labelling and car park to standards and in terms of those taxes and trade, they are extensive, you have them for cars, industries like food and there isn't any deal between australia and the eu. it seems to be a of remarketing no trade deal at the end of this year, which the prime minister said would not happen, he did not anticipate that happening during the election but because the eu have said no on canada, that is the alternative. like you very much. —— thank you very much. the bbc has learned that the full roll—out of universal credit — the government's flagship welfare reform — will be delayed again, adding £500 million to its overall cost. o

in all of those areas that uk is ahead of the eu. but i can reassure you, we are not requiring the eu to align with uk rules in order to do a free trade deal with us. and that's frankly how free trade deals are done across the world, without those kind of conditions. so this is a ruffle, a rumple that we will get through quite easily, is it? well, we will see. but we are entering these negotiations with a spirit of goodwill. i mentioned the iranian, the coronavirus examples, where we still want to be cooperating with our european partners. we go into this in a spirit of goodwill, with good faith and optimism, but we are just not doing that other stuff. the legislative alignment, itjust ain't happening. we want to be clear about that from the outset because we don't want to waste anyone's time. the former european council president donald tusk says brussels feels "empathy" towards an independent scotland joining the european union. nicola sturgeon has said an independent scotland would seek full eu membership and when asked if this wo

and, the thing is that the eu is saying, the thing is that the eu is saying, the thing is that the eu is saying, the thing is that the eu is going back on some parts of the political declaration as well so i think that everybody knew that the political declaration was not legally binding, it is a reference point, it became more and more important to the eu because they saw it as important to the eu because they saw itasa important to the eu because they saw it as a victory, the fact that boris johnson agreed that there would be a loving playing field conditions. —— love level playing field conditions. there is a recognition on both sides that this is an important trade negotiation that needs to take place and it is on both sides's interest to get some kind of agreement however then it is by the end of the year. i think when the government is saying now, if we don't like it, we will just walk away, i saying now, if we don't like it, we willjust walk away, i think, i don't think, i know that the reaction here in eu circles is that, look, this is a mistaken calculation on the governm

the snp made clear they hoped to return to the eu. tomorrow across scotland, communities will gather to au revoir but not adieu to our fellow members of the european union. ijust want to caution the government about any kind of triumphalism about all of this. tomorrow is not the end of brexit, it is only the beginning. i'm as encouraged by my honourable friend for stirling when he was in the european parliament. many in the european union will be leaving a light on for scotland so that in the fullness of time, we will use those lights to find our way back over to europe as an independent member state. thank you madam deputy speaker. like the honourable gentlemen, i, too, am very keen that we should maintain cordial relations with ourfriends in european union but without being governed by them, and that seems to be an extremely satisfactory way to be proceeding from now on. we don't want to be triumphalist about it, but i think in a spirit of sympathy to europe, it would be allowable for some of us at 11 o'clock on friday to drink some

it follows that ifa to follow eu rules. it follows that if a manufacturer wants to sell something to your, it has to abide by the regulations and that of the market they are selling into. what we re market they are selling into. what were talking about here, the level playing field question, is the question of the stuff that sits around that. workers' rights, environmental regulations. there the government is saying, look, you gave canada the exact deal we want and you haven't expected canada to sign up you haven't expected canada to sign up to any of these things so why should you expect us? the eu's point, as you head from leo varadkar, is that that is fine, but between us and canada is 3000 miles of sea, whereas its between us and canada is 3000 miles of sea, whereas it'sjust between us and canada is 3000 miles of sea, whereas its just 20 between us and canada is 3000 miles of sea, whereas it'sjust 20 miles between us. that is the difference, the eu is very concerned, in fact, as you head nigel farage say, it is concerne

the reality is we have got a deal with the eu. it sets out a political declaration for the future relationship. the points you made a well known. we have taken back control of our laws. we will not have legislative alignment with their rules. we want to cooperate and we expect the eu to follow through on their commitment to a canada through on their commitment to a ca na da style through on their commitment to a canada style free trade agreement. that is what we are pursuing. that is what we are pursuing. that is what we are pursuing. that is dominic raab. is this tough talk from the government, the opening gambit is in any negotiation? yeah, it is exactly what you would be expecting them to say at this stage. particularly lines around no concessions, any government going into negotiations saying, i'm going to concede, wouldn't be doing a good job, would they? yes, this is the opening salvo, if you like. we will get similar tomorrow from the european union. aspirations for these negotiations. one interesting line in borisjohnsonâ€

but also the undertakings the eu... but also the undertakings the eu have. it is more a question of getting clarity at the outset. we are not going to be aligning with eu rules. that is not on the negotiating table. it is not even an issue of red lines. it is not even in the negotiating meeting. so he is essentially saying you gave this deal to canada without asking for regulatory alignment and a level playing field. you should be able to give the same deal to the uk. the eu that are keen to stress that there are big differences between britain and canada when it comes to the european union. primarily locations. they can't be expected to be treated the same. this was leo varadker. canada isn't the uk. you are geographically part of the eu continent. we share sea and airspace and airspace and our economies are integrated. one thing we feel very strongly in the european union is that if we are going to have terra fee —— terra free trade with the uk, which is essentially what we have with canada on almost everything, then that needs to come with a level pla

the eu not willing in atop of hard border on ireland. boris johnson got around that by agreeing tsome checks in the travelingon goods between britain and northern ireland. in terms of a long-term trade deal, there would beheos of the u.k. and eu are closely aligned on regulations, but if they are not, and that is possible, then the issue returns. there is ireland's foreign minister. the withdrawal agreement involves significant develment in theontext of northern ireld and the protocol, but both heu and the u.k. need to follow through. if that does not happen, then i think itill damage significantly the prospects of being able to get even a bare-bones trade agreement, along with a number of other things, that need to be in place by the end of the year. ros: the u.k. will publish its thursday, and then.n on you are the deadline is the end of this year. toe tell us m about what lies from our correspondent.st rept >> we will hear a lot ostormy rhetor in the next few weeks, and there are significant differences, particuerly on the is of a lev

more now on britain leaving the eu. our europe correspondent damian grammaticas is in benidorm and has been speaking to one british expat about, now that britain has left the eu, what this is going to mean for her and her business. this is what they call the english strip here at benidorm, this is the rover‘s return bar, and all the way along here we have the bars that attract english visitors, british visitors from the uk, yorkshire pride bar, and running the bar, paige dawson. the uk has left the eu. it is out. it has officially happened! your emotions, you are a breach, you have been here for 25 years. that is right. —— brit. it is a sad to leave and a lot of uncertainty comes because we don't know exactly what is going to happen, how it will work and how the transition process is going to work. it is just literally take it step step, see what information we are given and how we need to go about things now and go from there, really. i mean, you have permanent residency here in spain, butare permanent residency

citizens will be treated just the same as eu citizens. lady williams. you're watching monday in parliament with me, kristiina cooper. the health secretary, has warned that the new coronavirus that began in the city of wuhan in china will be around "for some months to come". in a statement to mps, matthew hancock also said the risk of infection in the uk had been raised from low to moderate. he said the government was taking "a belt and braces approach" that would prioritise public protection. there have been two confirmed cases in britain so far. so far more than 17,000 cases have been diagnosed on mainland china, with 185 cases in other countries. currently the number of cases are doubling around every five days and it's clear the virus will be with us for at least some months to come. this is a marathon, not a sprint. 0n existing evidence, most cases are mild and most people recover. nevertheless, anyone who has travelled from wuhan or hubei province in the last 1a days should immediately contact the nhs111 to inform them of recent trav

has formally left the eu? charlie and you to some of the key dates and targets. >> just because brexit has happened, does not mean the story is over. britain has left the institution and lost its vote in the you body, but the 11 month transition means everything else stays the same. it is not crucial for the u.k. that it sort of treaty with the eu. the u.k. assigned up with eu rules but can negotiate a new deal up until the 31st of december. can a deal be done by then? the european commission president was blunt. she said it would be impossible to complete in the timeframe. >> without an extension of the transition period beyond 2020, you cannot expect to agree on every single aspect of our new partnership. we will have to prioritize. to speedone option things up his salami slicing. making smaller separate deals on aspects of trade, fisheries and transport for example. there is an interim deadline at the start of july, the final time britain can asked to extend the extension period. force johnson says he won't

it is the most comprehensive and deep as agreement the eu has done with a non—eu party recently. the australian model is puzzling because the australian that eu negotiations have not finished yet stopped longer than that uk is going to negotiate and they have not finished a deal. if there is a hybrid between the canadian and the australian models, could we see the uk signing and ratifying a trade with the eu by the end of this year? i would say no u nless end of this year? i would say no unless that is your hard deadline than you could get what i would argue is a poor deal. extremely shallow, mostly focused on trading goods, maybe a little bit of services but the practical relationship is time—consuming and to get one done in what is effectively an eight month window is unprecedented especially the size and scale we're talking about for the markets like the uk and eu. i just do not see how they can get it donein just do not see how they can get it done ina just do not see how they can get it done in a month. google has published detail about youtube and other businesses as the

does move more than the eu side. this time it might be different because boris johnson i think is moving towards this idea. he does in a sense have to fulfill his promise of britain having that freedom to regulate its own market as it wants to to be able to diverge from eu standards and regulations as it to. -- wants nearer the time, nearer december as he start having second thoughts? does he start adding more cold -- getting cold feet as more reports come out about the cost to u.k. businesses? we have been there before because desha but that was not the cliff edge. beyond this transitional -- we have been here before because of the transitionon. , but that was not the cliff edge. sensitive areas that would be the most affected by in no deal to essentially cushion the pain for both sides. that could be one way to try to sell a no deal if that is whatat everyone is staring at in december 2020. >> to the united states where the focus will be on iowa this monday as it gets set to host the first in the nation vote to see

the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having "unfair competitive adva ntages". here's our political correspondent, helen catt. the break—up is done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody. in his first speech since the uk left the eu, borisjohnson set out what he wa nts. 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

the eu has rejected the uk's demand for the same so—called level playing field arrangements as the eu has with canada, which aren't binding. and the document makes clear that the uk expects quick wins on easier issues such as the recognition of uk financial services equivalent standards by june. the government is trying to play hardball with this document, saying to the eu if the city's access to the european union is not guaranteed byjune — one of the least controversial issues, it says — then the uk could walk away from negotiations then, and focus solely on domestic preparations for leaving with no trade deal. we want to make sure that we get a good deal, in fact a series of agreements with the european union. we're confident that we will be able to make progress, but of course both sides will take stock in june and that will be an opportunity for both sides to see if appropriate progress has been made. this chemicals company in the west midlands explained to us last year how it needed to continue testing everything to eu standards. the boss here now accepts that things will ch

more autonomy for the uk, though, and a clear "no" to being bound by eu rules. i dispel the absurd caricature of britain as a nation bent on the slash and burn of workers' rights and environmental protection, as if we are saved from dickensian squalor only by enlightened eu regulation, as if it was only thanks to brussels that we are not preparing to send children back up chimneys. on a rival platform on the other side of the channel... we are ready to offer a highly ambitious trade deal. the more we have common standards, the higher quality access the eu will be able to offer to its markets. but this will be up to the uk to decide. in other words, the eu's message to borisjohnson: the more you want to tack away, the harder it will be to do business. if it is a choice between no comprehensive deal or sticking to eu rules, you've suggested that you would rather have no comprehensive deal. but do you accept that that might have significant costs forjobs, businesses and people's prosperity, as well as the benefits you claim there might be? when i hear prophecies of

as eu citizens would be respect that. but from that referendum what happened was that the smith commission was established to look what would happen with further powers for the scottish parliament. that was an all—party commission which all parties signed up commission which all parties signed up to and in that report was accepted it was up to the people of scotla nd accepted it was up to the people of scotland to determine the constitutional future. so there was no situation where it was accepted that we could not return to having a referendum on scottish independence in the future. that is a complicated argument about process but this will thing that the rest of the uk citizens understand is that you had a chance to vote for independence and bya a chance to vote for independence and by a clear majority, it was voted against. you want to run the whole thing again but that is not what you agreed to in the first place. there are two agreements that are important. the first is the edinburgh agreement that established the

and let's return to our main story again britain leaving the eu. one of the most difficult challenges faced by uk and eu brexit negotiators throughout the last few years was the status of northern ireland. emma vardy was at the irish border in the minutes after it became the uk's only land border with the eu. well, all of a sudden this invisible geographical line takes on a great new significance. this, where i am standing, is now the new land border between the uk and the eu. there was no great fanfare, no singing, a small band of protesters gathered here to mark the moment. to the eye, of course, nothing will change, but it will have implications for thousands of businesses across the island. now, keeping is border open was always such a difficult part of those brexit negotiations. in the end, a resolution was found through a controversial compromise which effectively moves this border to the irish sea. it leaves northern ireland in a bit of a halfway house in future, abiding by eu single market rules,

the question for the eu 's gonna hold the line? i fully think they wealth because they were so united in the first stage and it works from the eu's perspective very well because they got the money. they got everything else they wanted from the uk out of that withdrawal agreements. on this, it is really just sort of tweaking about how tough you want to be. of course, it isa tough you want to be. of course, it is a negotiation and the mandate for the eu, is how much room for manoeuvring they have here. also on the uk side, the fact that boris johnson has this 80 seat majority means that they think they can be much tougher with the eu. they don't have to fold in accept demand in a way they had to in the past. those are to mark quite firm positions. when they both clash, i think there is the potential that the talks could collapse quite quickly if both sides are quite inflexible. there is a danger that we do leave with no deal at the end of this year. we would be trading on basic wto rules which would in tariffs, cheques, and disruptio

but the government would not accept any alignment with eu laws as the eu is demanding. mr gove said the uk would not trade away its sovereignty as it set out on what he called a newjourney. as a sovereign self—governing independent nation we will have the freedom to frame our own laws, control our own borders, lower all of our taxes, set our own tariffs, determine our own trade relationships and ensure that we follow the people's priorities on security, the economy and democratic accountability. he looked ahead to the start of the talks on monday. we are confident those negotiations will lead to outcomes that work for both the uk and the eu. but this house, our european partners, and above all the british people should be in no doubt, at the end of the transition period on the 31st of december, the united kingdom willfully recover its economic political independence. we want the best possible trading relationship with the eu but in pursuit of the deal, we will not trade away our sovereignty. mr speaker, this government is delivering on its manifesto commitments with e

eu. norway is perfectly happy broadly to just accept whatever brussels decides in terms of standards. 0r different regulations or laws. i think personally, we have now left the european union. i don't really see the point of doing that. unless we have some measure of independence orfreedom from them. we have some measure of independence or freedom from them. in fact i say that but broadly i think we will probably end up with pretty much the same standards of the eu. 0r probably end up with pretty much the same standards of the eu. or with even higher standards than the eu. we could end up with... we are not suddenly going to get rid of all of the food and safety regulations are employment rights or any of those. so we retain the ability to do so if the country wants. i speak as a former remainder in chief, i don't even know what i can call myself now. i'm not a remainder of anything. it is gone. i have to say, it is almost a relief to have got out of that limbo zone where are we leaving f

we've also got to remember the eu has some differences of opinion on what the future holds. looks like a tough 11 months ahead of us. there was a lot of talk of the most out of the bag is perhaps some of it is a bit naive, —— there was a lot of talk at the start of the brexit process , talk at the start of the brexit process, all the european countries stuck together and stuck to the line. at this stage, because it goes to things likejobs line. at this stage, because it goes to things like jobs and therefore, to things like jobs and therefore, to the voters in the countries rather than being about structures and theories, is there a potentially more room where we see more defence opening up an eu side, with fisheries? there are differences that will be there and we will see that, there are some countries that are that, there are some countries that a re interested that, there are some countries that are interested in the fisheries industry, others in southern europe are industry, others in southern europe a re less industry, others in southern europe are less motivated.

from enterg this country tariff free unless the eu matches are u.k. laws, plastic cfestirrers or maternity leave, will be accuse them of dumping -- will we accuse them of dumping or wanting to dump? of course not. >> the prime minister tried to make one thing clear about the sort of relationship with the eu is looking for. >> we have made a choice. free-trade agreement similar to canada's. >> under the eu's deal with pocanada, tariffs on most goods have beenliminated. the flow of services, such as nkg, is much more restricted. 17% of the uk's economy is services. the eu would only grant that sort of deal with strings no sooner had he nailed his colo to the canadian model, the prime minister said another countrcould be a template. >> the question is wheth we agree a trade deal relationship with the eu cparable to canada's or more like australia's. >> the financial times saying love the rebranding of a no trade deal brexit with the wto. just a reminder, says george, australia has no free-trade agreement with the eu and is 9000 miles away. with the stage

long year that will go by very quickly when we see whether the uk can do a tiny trade deal with the eu and then there's the whole business of putting the stuff to work, setting up regulartory agencies, getting models to what can that will take years. from our point of view we don't know what the job is. you were in parliament square last night, triumphed from those who worked hard to get over the line, quite low—key from the prime minister, no speech outside downing street. it was interesting being there, i was covering it for work, popped in to downing street and parliament square and there was a good vibe, it is very easy sometimes watching coverage to focus on the negatives and complications and negotiations going wrong because that is where the news lies but in reality i saw many thousands of people who presumably represent many millions of people around the country who are actually extremely happy last night and in a celebratory mood but to downing street borisjohnson was locked away, it leaves to nigel farage to give the raging speech to mark a rousing speech and she listed on

long year that will go by very quickly when we see whether the uk can do a tiny trade deal with the eu and then there's the whole business of putting the stuff to work, setting up regular toddy agencies, getting models to what can that will take years. from oui’ what can that will take years. from our point of view we don't want the job is. hubert and parliament square last night, triumphed from those who wa nt last night, triumphed from those who want have to get over the line, quite low—key from the prime minister, no speech outside downing street. it was interesting being there, i was covering it for what, popped there, i was covering it for what, poppedin there, i was covering it for what, popped in to downing street and parliament square and that was a good vibe, it is very easy sometimes watching coverage to focus on the negatives and complications and negotiations going wrong because thatis negotiations going wrong because that is where the news lies but in reality i saw many thousands of people who presumably represent many millions of people around the country who are actu

the eu negotiators take on london's approach was less rosy. >> that is why the eu commission will also prepare the situation in which we end with no deal. this is not what we want. but we must get ready for the possibility of facing and abyss at the end of this year. >> the lead up to the joint talks between london and brussels could hardly have beeen frost year. -- frostier. brent: earlier i spoke with our correspondent in london about the u.k. stance in this post brexit negotiation which began today. >> boris johnson wants to be seen as somebody who is fighting for the rights of the u.k. they want to make the most of brexit and arguing what is the point of brecht that if we do not diverge from eu rules? so he has symbolic industies. for example, fisheries, where he wants to be seen as standing up to brussels. he says this is nonnegotiable, that it is very much for brexit. in the north of england this is a very sensitive topic, even though economically, fisheries are not very important for the u.k. but the sabella get a straight and symbolic -- these symbolic industries and symbolic m

eu laws and eu institutions. the british people voted to take back control, to bring the power home, to have the rules governing this country made by those directly accountable to the people of this country and that is what we are delivering. what could be some of the key stumbling blocks? people talk about fisheries as one of the really difficult areas. that clearly is going to be a problem even though as we have said before it is only a tiny part of the economy on both sides of the channel. most eu countries don't even have a coastline so most don't care about fishing but in the communities that do care about it, it's a massive issue and it is totemic of the idea of taking back control. the eu has said it wants to uphold and that is language on in the last couple of weeks, uphold its current access for eu boats to british waters. again the uk pretty much categorically rejects that. let's have another listen to michael gove. we will take back control of our waters and it is an independent coastal state and we wi

and in particular, he's going to make it clear that on one issue that the eu have been talking about recently, regulatory alignment, what the eu call a level playing field, essentially making sure notjust the ways in which things are made conform to certain standards, but things like employment laws and environmental regulations, are also set at the same level. borisjohnson is going to make it clear that britain won't swallow that and the foreign secretary saying something very similar on the andrew marr showjust now. we just need to be very clear that the canada style agreement doesn't involve regulatory alignment. it's not what the political declaration says. it obviously defeats, as you said in your earlier interviews, the point of brexit, so we would expect to be treated, first of all, in the same way third countries are with the rest of the eu, like japan, like south korea, like canada, but also for the undertakings that the eu have made to be lived up to. so i think it's more of a question of getting clarity at the outset, so we are not going to be aligning with eu rules. that'

we are leaving the eu and britain's place in the world is going to change. the question is what direction it takes. the signs are this government is prepared to sacrifice our country and its interest in values for short-term little advantage. and a sell out trade deal with donald trump. [boos] as foreign secretary he embarrassed this country. as pie minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell it off. when will the prime minister acept the only chance of truly internationalist britain is to work with our global partners to tackle the climate catastrophe, expanded trade, fight human rights abuses, and promote peace? >> thank god he is going. >> mr. speaker the difference between this government and the way it treats international affairs and the labour party under the present leadership can be summarized as follows. this in the right honorable leader of the party is consistently, not just for tehran but for vladimir putin went ape puts innocent people on the streets this country. he has said he would scrap the armed services of the united kingdom, a

to be clear, we will not be eking to dynamically align with eu rules on eu terms govern by eu laws and eu institutions. the british people voted to take back control, to bring power home, to have thethules governin country made by those directly accountable to the people of this country. and that is what we are delivering. >>t t not it. other issuesbe need troned out by the end of the year. fishing and legal jurisdictions among them. the european union published its stance on the negotiations nday. its chief negotiator has been reiteratg its position that they would take note of the u.k.'s mandate published today but they are sticking to their prior commitments in the political declaration. they want an ambitious and fair partnership with the u.k. in the future. u, as the old sayin goes, is hoping for the best, >> the commission maintains its capacity to prepare for no deal following the result of those negotiations. of course, we continue to prepare for a positose result of negotiations. >> the big question is what happens in june if not enough has been achieved? the u.k. outline is t

the eu must not be seen to be a club from which you cannot leave. it's a democratic institution which allows you to leave if you want to. and if it is a success, well, there are some countries in the eu who are not totally committed to it, poland, hungary and so forth, altogether, the eu is in flux herself. and very much rests on the question, how will it all pan out? we don't know. it's about uncertainty. that's all i can say. but we are desperately hoping it will not become too successful in order to give people an idea in europe that other countries might follow suit and copy the british example. we are a little bit between a rock and a hard place, as they say. yes, we want britain all the best and so forth but we can't afford for this experiment to end up so successfully as to create uncertainty whether the eu has a life beyond short—term. it is desperately important. success is in the eye of the beholder because we saw the prime minister go to sunderland with his cabinet to make a point about the levelling up that he said he wants to do, how

tony is going to be all—important now, isn't it, as discussions take place, and as the eu and the eu said the tone in the relationship for the future —— tonei in the relationship for the future —— tone i think you absolutely right. tone and relationships are everything. one who has kept a solid tone has been michel barnier. and he will continue to be involved in it. and remember that sometimes parliaments and certainly at that moment where you just replayed and it has been replayed so many times, that was theatre and drama. nigel farage will not be at the table, the european parliament will. and i think the rhetoric, as was said yesterday, should perhaps not be listened to as much of the practicalities when we come down to a deal. anai believe united kingdom and europe want a good dealfor our people. that is ultimately what we are here to do, so the people we have been elected by. but clearly yesterday evening along the border there were some protests from people who didn't want northern ireland to leave the european union. i'm still rather concerned about the future. soi rat

to be clear, we will not be seeking to dynamically align with eu rules on eu term is governed by eu laws and eu institutions. the british people voted to take back control, to bring the power home, to have the rules governing this country made by those directly accountable to the people of this country and that is what we are delivering. so that is one big issue of disagreement. it really is quite fundamental because it is between the eu's desire to protect the single market in the uk's desire to reclaim sovereignty. but there are other areas of disagreement. 0ne reclaim sovereignty. but there are other areas of disagreement. one of them will be a difficult one, always emotional — fisheries, a tiny part of the economy on both sides of the channel, but it means a lot. the eu is saying "we want the same access we have now for our boats to your fishing waters" and if they don't give that, they might not give access to their fish to sell the markets. the uk is not prepared to accept that. would it involve the european court of justice? accept that. would it involve the european court ofjus

the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the eu wants a close trading relationship with the uk, but would not accept britain having ‘unfair competitive adva ntages'. here's our political correspondent, helen catt. the break—up's done, but what comes next? in brussels and in london, two visions of a future relationship. good morning, everybody. 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. borisjoh

same eu standards to do that. maybe very ha rd if standards to do that. maybe very hard if you are being undercut in your domestic markets by cheaper imports coming from the united states. it is very hard to see how you square the circle here between what will be needed in the eu trade deal and what will be neededin trade deal and what will be needed in trade deal. perhaps the answer is a less meet, as they independent point out and others, eating fruit, veg, cheese linked to lower/ risks, a study finds. it is notjust throw, it is cancer, we know this already don't we, the five day rule, eat fruit and veg. the daily mirror has a front p39e the daily mirror has a front page as well which says" blood pressure, how to lower it". maybe don't red the news papers is one way to lower your blood pressure. eating fruit and vegetables, we have known for a long time, eat your five vegetables, five fruit, it will help this reinforces that. but also eating cheese, which i found surprising, saying that reduces the risk of a str

the deal eliminates 98% of all tariffs on goods traded between canada and the eu. most were removed when the agreement came into force in 2017 and all tariffs will disappear after seven yea rs. the eu and canada have opened up public contracts to one another which means canadian companies can pitch to build french railways while spanish builders can bid to construct schools in canada. but the agreement does not fully remove regulatory barriers as canada is not a member of the single market which means its products are still subject to border checks. as the agreement is not a customs union or a single market, canada and the eu are both free to do trade deals with any other country. well, a little earlier i spoke to our political correspondent tom barton for some analysis of the next brexit phase. if you thought you had heard everything you were going to hear about the relationship between the uk and europe by brexit day? well, think again. it's still going on. it will be going on at least until the end of this year. a speech on monday from borisjohnson setting out w

ministers say they won't accept uk laws having to keep in step with eu ones. our economics editor faisal islam reports. for decades, a car or anything made in the uk — and all the parts in it — have had full, unimpeded access to the european union, and the same for a car from, say, germany coming into the uk. all of that underpinned by common standards, regulations and laws, and once brexit takes full effect at the end of the year, this is going to change. just how much depends on the trade negotiations with the eu starting next week, and today the uk published its strategy. there is some broad agreement. both the eu and the uk want to do a deal which would continue trade without taxes on their exports, known as tariffs, but detailed disagreement on some key areas. today's document rejects the continuation of eu rules on support for industry. and it makes clear that the uk expects a decision on guaranteed uk financial services access to the eu byjune. something already rejected. the government is trying to play hardball with this document, saying to the eu

crafts lame eu exit for a plunge. we asked viewers about why they didn't tune into the oscars and one viewer says they tune into a great dog show. i didn't mention crafts in particular but i love watching crafts. —— crufts. they missed the deadline because i think it is the 20th of january, dog owners because i think it is the 20th ofjanuary, dog owners outside the uk, needed to apply. for what, passports? yes forgetting their dogs into the country. there appears to be unforeseen consequences that, you know, crufts, is an institution, much loved. a four—day, massive event. i might enter my black lab. i don't think people need to strea m lab. i don't think people need to stream to get access into crufts, it is still free to air but i think it is something much loved by lots of people. it isa much loved by lots of people. it is a wonderful show if you love dogs. so many beautiful dogs. some talented as well. beautiful and bizarre! thank you, great to have you on the briefing. and thank you for your company today.

the eu says the uk needs to stick with eu says the uk needs to stick with eu rules on the way you are allowed to give subsidies to help businesses, and very close to eu rules on workers' rights and environmental policies. the uk rejects that out of hand. not a surprise. we have heard that from the prime minister. this puts more detail into what it wants. no alignment with eu rules. we know there are other areas of disagreement. fisheries is one. the uk says we are going to be an independent coastal state and we will control access to our waters. the eu is suggesting we want the same the eu is suggesting we want the sa m e a ccess the eu is suggesting we want the same access we have now to your waters, otherwise you can't sell your face to waters, otherwise you can't sell yourface to us. waters, otherwise you can't sell your face to us. the waters, otherwise you can't sell yourface to us. the uk is rejecting that kind of linkage. so there are some big issues which are going to prove problematic. it wouldn't surprise me if in the next few weeks there was a serious breakdown in the talks

ministers say they won't accept uk laws having to keep in step with eu ones. our economics editor faisal islam reports. for decades, a car or anything made in the uk — and all the parts in it — have had full, unimpeded access to the european union, and the same for a car from, say, germany coming into the uk. all of that underpinned by common standards, regulations and laws, and once brexit takes full effect at the end of the year, this is going to change. just how much depends on the trade negotiations with the eu starting next week, and today the uk published its strategy. there is some broad agreement. both the eu and the uk want to do a deal which would continue trade without taxes on their exports, known as tariffs, but detailed disagreement on some key areas. today's document rejects the continuation of eu rules on support for industry. and it makes clear that the uk expects a decision on guaranteed uk financial services access to the eu byjune. something already rejected. the government is trying to play hardball with this document, saying to the eu

and eu relations given that president trump has often said the eu is not spending enough in nato and now they are investing rather than giving that money to nato >> no. if he's carefully analyzing this, he should be more than happy because in a way of his critics and what we are doing for example. in europe, we have more than 160, 170 different military systems. the americans have around 40 we are aiming at stream lining this different systems in order to have a better economy of scale, to have a better procurement. savings that can be used and by the way, it would save maintance cost in the future and constitutes to have better efficiency for more availability >> also joining us now from brussels with another interview. it seems like climate change and digitalization is still very much a focus for the eu going forward. >> reporter: i'll address some of these issues with my next guest here in brussels let's look at the discussion leaders will have here today what is the biggest problem that it has for the next budget you have two groups. one group of countries that had decided the bu

numbertwo, the eu being asked to carry on following eu rules? number two, the eu wants to uphold the existing access to british fishing waters that european fishing boats have now. and thirdly, they want a limited role for the european court of justice they want a limited role for the european court ofjustice in managing the relationship and a future. the uk doesn't want any role for the ecj at all. these are all things that are going to have to be worked out very quickly in the next few months if there is to be a trade deal. borisjohnson's press office has responded with a series of tweets. it goes on... that as it may be, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says nothing has or will change in the eu's stance on the key issues. translation: we know it you know what our objectives are. they voice been set out expressly entrance friendly. that will continue to be the case. we are all so aware of our principles and the points which we are most wedded to. and which are in the political declaration agreed to with borisjohnson. the political de

and the way the eu would want. is this a shot across the bow? silla: possibly. the pressure has been there for a while. it has increased. european supervisors and the politicians are clear. they want more business, more people to move to new offices in frankfurt and paris, london, amsterdam. they want to see it happen quickly. they do not want to see it be a bottleneck. guy: it will be a fascinating year. the incredible 6% rally in tesla screeched to a halt. shares of the electric vehicle falling as much as 15% earlier. a portfolio manager who bet against subprime mortgages before the financial crisis told bloomberg he is ending his short against tesla. >> everybody has a pain threshold. when a stock becomes onboard from valuation because it has dynamic growth aspects, you want to just walk away. vonnie: for more insight into what is going on in tesla, we are joined by craig trudell, who heads bloomberg auto coverage in the united states. we have had massive moves. craig: that is one of the most interesting things

all imports of goods or services supplied in the eu will need to comply with the eu rules or other standouts protecting our public policy objectives. one particular issue came up on both sides today. the level playing field. it's a phrase you'll find in the political declaration — that's a document signed by both eu and uk at the same time as the brexit withdrawal agreement. it says given the "geographic proximity and economic interdependence" of the two sides, the future relationship must include "robust commitments to ensure a level playing field". this is to ensure their respective businesses don't have a built—in advantage. this can apply to a whole range of things from maternity right, or food and environmental regulations. while many are welcome, they bring costs. level play field deals ensure the costs are standard. and it's been assumed that may mean the uk following eu regulaitons. today borisjohnson turned that argument on its head. will we stop italian cars or german wine from entering this country tarriff—free or quota free unless the eu matches our uk laws on plastic coffe
