small nations and unions like this have used the european union as a way of separating from the union. in our case, scotland has been attracted by the idea of the opinion was not to scare up and votes for independence? of course i care. do you care if the union is dismantled? of course i care. they exist for only one thing. they don't run scotland. they exist for only one thing, which is to separate from the united kingdom. but the united kingdom is their major marketplace and there are more scots around london than there in scotland, so we are bound together for 300 years, of course i care about that but i do also believe that you don't solve a problem like that by running scared from the very people that wish to break up the union. we're almost out of time, but a final thought. you exhibited a remarkable amount of confidence about britain and your party speech throughout this interview. do you ever may they did not, think yourself, my god, what if i'm wrong? what if brexit is actually a hugely damaging event for the united kingdom? then i wouldn't be sitting here and saying what i s

we're working on a deal with the european union. we'll agree to pay 25% tariff on all mercedes-benz and b.m.w.'s. so we appreciate that i'm only kidding. they started to get a little bit worried. thank you. congratulations. best beef in the

first european union members they. are saying that has not been a mistake because they need more money with conditionality they look china as an opportunity but today. not. that they want to be the new hat of corp or europe and they your puter will be fair enough to understand that these new challenge to build up a new joint i seem to some mistake it to be very honest has been done in a certain point not only for the economic issue and values but for the international geopolitics that has come back a very strong international space between europe and russia. and europe and turkey . in europe and the united states. in this case is much more the responsibility of united states i think if i can say they'd yacking leaders you would decide. that europe is becoming the worst enemy if united states senator kerry ask you one more question about values because it's very interesting to me you've been very supportive of president call build a new european. would say that you have to kind of your own house in order before embarkin

have absolutely no issue with europe's past they recognize the enormous success of the european union. conciliation and peace are its greatest achievements most of the people agree with that they take issue with the ability of the e.u. as a system as a mechanism to move forward to be as efficient as it has to be in present times can you really do the reunion without changing the way the decisions on made yes be done. and exactly what happens. in these middle age with the amount of innovation. to element of innovation because the good the good in and creation of the culture plus technology should have been closed in a close region by region of. the driving force of the society that i believe this time was a medicine and the 2nd. for the new world order mystery or you know that it happened many times in history that something that once was a blessing suddenly becomes a curse everybody agrees that it's certain point of time the consensus model that the e.u. has served it well but now it takes china less time to set up a whole industry and for the european union to come up with a coherent

to eat to live without being part of the european union. pass through the measure prizes konami give the one of the last 30 of the one the world's when there was a big financial speculation looked like in 1002 against and they gave the pounce and the list of why exactly thanks to you if there was what you are this time that we doubt belonging to a perspective to go even more unification and more buy in the glacial to monetary italy would he understand that that's also a matter of debate because there are some who would tell you the. italian gains of membership have been much smaller than among other member states because if i'm not mistaken the average g.d.p. growth in italy since 2001 was only a quarter of one percent compared to the 1.7 e.u. average can you really blame the italians for trying to look at the alternatives for example called trading with china. i think that when just because. to make from the mental distinction the. fundamental argument for part of the relation beyond talking about the current government who has the support

the stated body united kingdom and the european union in addition the european union has always said that it was available to discuss being on the wishes of the united kingdom. relationship which in the end is sensual as it is about building all future drug future we will discuss all of together in a minute i would like to say as a friend and there is no law of the united kingdom that it belongs to the united kingdom alone to decide about its destiny to decide about the way you will leave the european union and of the basis of future relationship. we are actively preparing for all the possibilities including the next it without an agreement on the 1st of october it's not the choice of the your opinion but it is our joint responsibility it is a big office citizens visibly all territories and the company and we have already prepared for that but i know no matter what the future of the united kingdom. considering our history and i cannot but be european all. by itself and i can say with confidence about the future will confirm it beyond the uncertainty. can be those of the president lad

american beef into the european union. american beef into the european union. we have been under negotiations for quite a while and our beef farmers we did not think were being treated fair, but the eu stepped up, and we appreciate it and we have great representatives here with us today. this is a tremendous victory for american farmers, ranchers, and european consumers. american beef is considered the best in the world. we are delighted to be joined today by ambassador robert lighthizer, deputy secretary of agriculture, the european union's ambassador to the united states, and the representative of the presidency of the council of the eu. i want to thank senator john hoeven my friend for being here. good job, john. along with the president of the national cattlemen's beef association, jennifer houston. and the president and ceo of the united states meat exports federation, dan hallstrom. congratulations. the agreement we signed will lower trade barriers in europe and expand access for american farmers and ranchers. in yea

union, we must leave the european union, we must leave the european union. so all i'm asking is the vote leave campaign who run governments and boris johnson, who is now prime minister, honour their pledge. their pledge was to protect the rights of eu nationals. how quickly cut that process ta ke ? nationals. how quickly cut that process take? we are on a huge countdown now, 75 days, october the sist, countdown now, 75 days, october the 31st, how long would a process like that take? there is one of two ways, either borisjohnson as prime minister brings back the withdrawal agreement and i think he is going to do that. if he brings back the withdrawal agreement with a bit of a twea k to withdrawal agreement with a bit of a tweak to the backstop, i think he will get the house of commons to vote for it, not least because there might be 30 or a0 labour mps who will vote for it. that withdrawal agreement contains all the necessary rights in law to protect british citizens living in the eu and eu nationals living in the uk. if he doesn't do that, he can pass an unc

union and that has been set up by the founding fathers of the european union we're against the f a closer union we want to keep the server serenity of the nation states what we think is that democracy only functions within a nation state and we want to work together where it is necessary to do so but we do not want to move towards ever closer you know extreme right populist did not have. the earthquake they expected to have been actually have an earthquake of scandals and the liberal liberal conservative forces are stronger than previously the greens advanced the socialist collapsed the extreme left lost almost 50 seats finance ago there was no far right at all was there so you hold the door open for them during the last 5 years i think this is not the time for blame game me this is the time to stand for the truth isn't it time to look at what happened the achievements of the last 5 years back to reach a passing variance come to being a board just united kingdom and the more damaged weaker government the reason why was a very minor heart was never in leaving you why you saw it as a car in

union with their. you know pan-european genda is a is a a a scenario that has been developed and pursued in and propagandized in the british press the decades and funny enough it will be the kind of irrationality that flows from such sentiment that will see this country commit economic suicide by electing a prime minister who's not only incompetent as he's recorded in the london shows us but has an opportunity of such grand proportions that even his brother joe johnson who resigned over the brecht seat was pretty convinced by boris johnson to come back in government and it's partly signed up to probe resi agenda so here we have the chance and poise who can spin around on any given issue 360 degrees in a heartbeat and both obviously like sacrifice the economic prosperity of the nation that they said let me just up this conclusion the tories are not even following the global big business agenda because if the tories were following that agenda here have some rationale in terms of their ideological positio

will leave the european union one of his. big selling points one of his big messages is that if you if you if you square up to the e.u. eventually very will blink any sign of the votes of absolutely no sign of that whatsoever so far we've heard the words of from an angle america she's probably a little bit more diplomatic what we've also been hearing words coming out of paris because boris johnson will will go to france to mars meet president mark home and the words coming out of there is that no deal is becoming the most likely option and that is what the french are thinking and that whatever happens even if there is a no deal bret's it the u.k. must pay the divorce deal so this is a very so in other words france is playing hardball to boris johnson's hardball i think part of this is because the european union wants to ensure that it sends a message to the world that they stand by any member of the european union and the member of the small member who has most to lose from breck said of course is island so they are saying th

just a question of the european union, the releva nce question of the european union, the relevance of that. people might not grasp at first thought why it matters what sort of arrangement the uk reaches with the eu. right now there are barriers to exports. the eu has regulatory frameworks that prohibit the import of some us goods. if the uk remains aligned with the european union on those issues, then it will still be unable to import those us goods, so the uk will have to break from the european union on a lot of regulatory issues if it hopes to really have a robust trade relationship with the united states, so we are all waiting to see what brexit looks like and how closely aligned does the uk remain with the european union. ros atkins is in biarritz for us. it's all been happening this morning. afair it's all been happening this morning. a fair bit of face time between boris johnson morning. a fair bit of face time between borisjohnson and donald trump. yes, i think something at the end of august pay rates is quite a sleepy affair, but not on day two of the g7. things got going ver

to negotiate an agreement, with the european union. they are the ones who failed, they are the ones who failed three times to get it through the house of commons, we in the labour party actually said to the labour party actually said to the government, look, please, change your red lines. if you change your red lines we believe there is a deal that can, yes, respect the result of the referendum, and leave the european union, but do so in a way that doesn't damage the economy, and that doesn't damage the economy, and that can get through parliament. the suspension of parliament is the number one story on the most read section. if you scroll on down there are links to various pieces of analysis including at the bottom some from our political editor laura kuenssberg who asks the question what will be left of our political conventions and the number one most watched story is about heather ping who has gone to majorca to the site where her son freddie pring died two months ago. he went on a work trip but died after falling from a balcony on

union for the redistribution among countries of migrants that make it to the european union so that's the blueprint beenie of the prime minister would most likely be even more extreme if we can take that from what he has done in the last months in this government coalition but i would like to add right here we are not there yet this is just one option that the italian president had as the moment as next on the room said he could also try to figure out a different coalition with different majorities for example with the 5 star movement and the social democrats who probably also prefer not to having a snap election because the poll numbers for them are not very good right our correspondent max huffman for us in brussels thank you very much. well it is not shaping up to be an easy week for the european union as that government crisis is unfolding in italy the rhetoric over bragg's it is heating up again british prime minister boris johnson says the e.u.'s plan for an irish backstop is unacceptable and has to go now the backstop is an insurance policy to make sure there is no hard for her

to leave the european union with a deal should be possible though a number of obstacles remain chief amongst them is the so-called irish back stop the current fallback plan to prevent the hardboard on the island mr johnson insists there can be no deal unless this is removed from the withdrawal agreement here is spelling out the u.k.'s position when you look at the border with northern ireland just repeating a point that bears repeating under no circumstances will the u.k. government be instituting imposing checks or controls of any kind at that border and we think i understand your desire to protect the integrity of the of the single market of course we understand that but we think that there are ways of protecting the integrity of the single market and allowing the u.k. to exit from the e.u. whole and entire and perfect order sean's behave in paris let's go to paris where we join max hoffman welcome max did we hear anything new from the new british prime minister today. the little bit that was new and it's been new actually for i believe since since berlin was the clip that you just

despite the differences between them, mostly on the issue of the european union, i think this will be a fairly friendly meeting. mrs merkel is very keen to ensure that germany and britain remain close partners and allies, even if britain crashes out of the eu in a no deal scenario. i have noted in the last few days, she has tried to strike a more conciliatory tone. people have been concerned about borisjohnson‘s rhetoric, his do—or—die raid attitude towards brexit. mrs merkel is keen to avoid a situation developing where there is an adversarial narrative developing between britain and the rest of the eu. she has set you up the solution can be fined because she is very concerned about what i no deal would mean politically and economically for europe and of course for germany. jenny, stay with us. i want to bring in a german mep at the moment. your thoughts, today?” think mrs merkel has made it very clear in the beginning that she will not go for an opening of the withdrawal agreement again but she is ready to support any idea that she can make practical that the backstop now ha

standing orders to stop an ideal breakfrom the european union. your thoughts? first and foremost, to have a situation where brexit will be delivered on 31 october, no excuses, that's it, is a very, very dangerous ploy. i don't think it matters whether you are a brexiteer 01’ matters whether you are a brexiteer ora matters whether you are a brexiteer or a remainer. to have that as absolutely categorical, to appoint dominic cummings, who i suspect doesn't have a view, to say that he will find a way to deliver that for borisjohnson, is always going to meet with objection. we have seen the remain mps and luminaries, lord heseltine and a writer for the sunday times writing a strong article saying how undemocratic the process was. the house of commons is not ina process was. the house of commons is not in a mood to deliver no deal, and there is going to be some level of confrontation. you can think of lots of people who might be involved in it, whether it is yvette cooper, david gauk, philip hammond, and this is not going to go away. it is a serious

in the european elections parties that wanted britain to leave the european union by the deadline got a majority. we saw that in the recent by—election in wales as well. sorry? the welsh by—election? let them won. yes, but the number of votes gathered by the conservative party and the brexit party were more than that. we are basing our future ona than that. we are basing our future on a by—election? and an eu election where, forgive me, if you look at the turnout, 35 or 36%, and look at what the brexit party and the conservative party got, and it is something like less than 50% of the voters in this country. we are going to determine our country's future on that basis? when this government or rather the previous conservative government on their own analysis said two things. one that the very worst thing our country can do is leave deal and secondly the impact assessments which i have seen, because i secured their disclosure, we are by no means ready to crash out of the european union, which is why as i go back to cn, the former business secretary said it would be disastrous for

is scheduled to leave the european union on october 31. some opponents of brexit accused prime minister johnson of waging a coup. on wednesday, thousands of protesters gathered outside the british paparliament to denounce johnson's decision. this is protester marion sharples. >> i think it is incredibly disrespectful that it can be passed off as normal practices. it is absolutely a tactic to limit the amount of time mps have time to debate and pushed through a no deal brexit and take back control. we'll go to london n later r ine broadcast. in other news from europe, italy is on the verge of forming a new government that could leave the far-right, anti-immigrant leader matteo salvini out of power. on wednesday, two rival political parties, the five star movement and the democratic party, reached a deal to form a new coalition government. this comes after salvini attempted a power grab last week by withdrawing his support for the ruling right-wing populist coalition. it led to the resignation of italy's prime minister. in news from the medi

union at the end of october without any deal with the european union and draws johnson's government to say well we have a free hand we don't want parliament basically to throw anything in the span of the works when it comes to leaving briggs and of course they maintain that this is a normal process they are now saying they are preparing a queen's speech which is a new legislation but on the other hand it's not normal that parliament is suspended during times like this during breaks in times when frankly every day parliament is sitting counts when it comes to shaping gregg's that they're going to want to make sure i understand this correctly does that mean the stuff that boris johnson is taking that there would be no way. stop brags that on october 31st for lawmakers in parliament. it will soon be that is really the big question in any case it's very difficult to stop the government in their ways because the opposition m.p.'s have so far not been very strong they haven't shown the same steel in this as johnson is now showing so they were basically trying to find some sort of consensu

the european union what will they do in case of a no deal brags that if the u.k. does not enforce this border will they do it and risk having more violence like in the past decades if they don't then they cannot preserve the integrity of the single market so this once again has become a high stakes poker game and the question is who if anyone will blink 1st all right let's get more analysis on the story now nico this is a senior lecturer and european union law the university of east anglia and ngo and i thank you for joining us and i want to get your take 1st of all these are 2 days of talks reports johnson in berlin and paris and we saw some friendly and positive tones on both days but at the end of the day nothing really has changed so what did you take away from what we've seen. i would agree with what your correspondent said i mean that go war so it is true that. there were some flit from here to serve the atmosphere was about the glow frenziedly especially when it comes to that meeting with some solar america but actually both. both. men. don't have reinstate

and 99 percent of everything is in the ads and i think that the problem is that the european union is overestimating its capacity and it's trying to come too much to issues which are actually easier to be taken care of national governments and local governments see that and the opposite way it's not good enough when looking at trade issues. environmental issues or security and safety issues. it's always a pleasure talking to you thank you very much my person thank you. same place same time here. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the games between the teams most of the conflicts i would say over balls around money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care and cares about your so your care might anything. cast calendar is downrigh

the european union what will they do in case of a no deal brags that if the u.k. does not enforce this border will they do it and risk having more violence like in the past decades if they don't then they cannot preserve the integrity of the single market so this once again has become a high stakes poker game and the question is who if anyone will blink 1st. all right let's get more analysis on the story now nico czarist is a senior lecturer and european union law the university of east anglia in england thank you for joining us and i want to get your take 1st of all just our 2 days of talks reports johnston in berlin and paris and we saw some friendly and positive tones on both days but at the end of the day nothing really has changed so what did you take away from what we've seen. i would agree with what your correspondent said i mean they go war so it is true that. there were some flip from he serves the atmosphere was about the glow friendly especially when it comes to that meeting with some solar america but actually both. both. men. don't have reinstated the

europe the european union is in crisis. its title future you will meet champions young champions. meeting vasa made what are the spots you know for a long time i took pieces on the things we value about europe for granted that now i sense this need be something that we don't people in particular need to find a woman ought to tie a template. for activists from for a few countries. they are pushing for the dream of a united europe. do they stand a chance. can they save the european idea. what's behind his stand up to you right here in panama and contribute to something important to notice again that she is. the future of europe starts september 2nd on d w. britain's main opposition leader jeremy corbyn says he'll move swiftly to try to stop the prime minister from suspending parliament ahead of the braggs it deadline and from taking the u.k. out of the e.u. without a deal this of the leader of scotland's conservatives resigns a day after boris johnson the shock announcement. italy's prime minister just that because as accepted a mandate to form a new coalition government he will hea

union? yes. fill in terms of the question that is a hefty percentage. in a way that implies there is an argument in their favour. it absolutely is not but it is an argument that people are getting desperate for brexit to happen they actively want this to happen. but the question was not whether brexit happens but how it happens and they said that they did not want to go... they did not ask if they want brexit or not stop with the vast majority as this poll shows did not want a new deal scenario but my point is that this is not a question to support remain, or to cancel brexit eddies who wants to put ourselves in what really is the worst situation possible to the european union would be most uncertainties. 34% of people said yes to that and that is high. as you said they just want to yes to that and that is high. as you said theyjust want to go. they don't ask whether they want to go or not, they asked how they want to go. the fog is sickening we will agree on that. take us to the times. this

a 1000000 migrants from outside the european union came into the european union and that was when the f.t. really saw their chance to make a move and started pushing on an anti migrant platform closing the borders harder security more more putting germany 1st and germans for 1st which a lot of people lot of voters responded to who felt that they had been left out or left behind in the last 3 decades since german reunification and we saw that the report like semicolon talking about patrolling borders in the f.t. really has made security migration one of the biggest issues but is that really one of the biggest issues for voters. at the national level it's certainly true that the f.d.a. really pushes hard on borders on security on keeping migrants out of germany but that kind of sense of security is expressed differently at the local level the state level expressed in the way that polls show voters are what voters find important whether it's infrastructure education good employment opportunities care for older people these are some of the issues that are ranking at the top of polls among

and borisjohnson european union without a deal. and boris johnson knows european union without a deal. and borisjohnson knows that. so what he is doing as he is suspending parliament when it should be sitting, because he is determined to do something for which he has no mandate at all. remember, boris johnson was elected by less than 100,000 members of the conservative party. whatever your views on brexit, the one thing we know for a fa ct brexit, the one thing we know for a fact is that people like him told us during the referendum campaign that our country would not leave the european union without a deal. and thatis european union without a deal. and that is what he is attempting to do. he is intending to keep your viewers, elected representatives, out of all this by proroguing parliament. and he is abusing our queen as well and the position, she is put in a very difficult position. he said the reason for doing this is because basically the government wa nts to because basically the government wants to get on with the domestic a

european union is prepared to talk about that and to agree to it if they are. in the fold that the european union can agree to but of course those kind of arrangements have so far in 3 years or so of negotiations not been fall and the start of possibility there could be for all we've lost people in the streets in building here what they think about this let's have a look at what they feel this is going to pan out. i don't think boris johnson will do that. i hope things stay as they are i think that would be better for europe. and derby of course so much money into it they'll do it what kind of news just flowing through the congo breaking things out that you've just about managed to bring together it's a book clubs events i finish up they just want to make it it's already taken so long i think in the end they'll remain because it's easier then van to be pretty dumb to give in to johnson now. for a majority of course one briton to stay on in the e.u. but you did revise johnson hopes that the e.u. will at some point that down if it relies is at the back of the agr
