the united kingdom. it is very important. —— the republic turkey. the defence industry, and the defence secretary, i think it will further the power of both countries. it is an important project. moreover, terrorism is one of the most threats nowadays. taken this into account, the security of our ports and detecting people at those are ports, whether they are affiliated with the terrorist organisation or not and the fact that the necessary security precautions are taken at the airports ‘s. we have agreed to make sure that the civil aviation authorities of both countries will work together to ensure this. there will be exercises realises 2017 to ensure this, so anyone going to the uk or coming to turkey, will have even safer travel. madam prime minister, we have realised certain meetings today and in those meetings, she confirmed her support to the government, first and foremost you know that we have experienced a treacherous onjuly stop currie... after this the united kingdom had an open stance and she showed her allegiance with the national will, with democracy, and with his

the best for the whole of the united kingdom. we want to make sure market in the united kingdom work effectively. the most important market in wales is the market within the united kingdom so he can stay confident that wales is the fastest growing economy outside london 2010 but the back of the government policy of success. >> order, colleagues, we are visited today by speaker of the burmese parliament accompanied by a delegation of parliamentary colleagues. i'm sure the house will wish to join me in welcoming mister speaker as his colleagues. questions to the prime minister? kevin jones. the prime minister. >> the response from the house shows and indeed welcome the speaker of the burmese parliament to see our deliberations today. and the whole house will join me in sending our condolences to the police officer who was shot over the weekend, to his friends and family. they have our fullest support. this morning i have meetings with ministerial colleagues, in addition to duties in this house, further such meetings later today. i will travel to the united states to talk to president t

about is this government will not sign up to a bad deal for the united kingdom and as to the threat the right honorable gentlemen claims about what might happen, he talks about workers rights. perhaps he should listen to his former colleague in this house, the mayor of london who today said to give credit to the government, don't think they want to weaken workers rights. i have seen no evidence from the conversations i had with senior members of the government that that is their aspiration or intention or something they want to do, which is a good. as usual with labor the right hand is not talking to the far left. >> mister speaker. mister speaker. the evidence of what they think about workers rights was there for all to see yesterday. a private members will under the 10 minute rule, to tear up parts of the international labor organization convention, talking down my friend for grimsby's bill to protect american workers rights that have been obtained in this country. that is the real agenda of the tory party. esther speaker, what the prime minister is doing is catching a threat at publi

we do not seek to hold onto bits of membership as we leave. the united kingdom is leaving the european union and my job is to get the right deal for britain. today i want to outline our objective for the negotiations ahead that amount to one big goal, a new, positive and constructive partnership between britain and the european union and as we negotiate that partnership, we will be driven by some simple principles. we will provide as much certainty and clarity as we can at every stage and we will take the opportunity to make britain stronger and to build a more global britain. the first objective, we will provide certainty whenever we can. we are about to enter a negotiation. it will be give and take. there has to be compromise. it will require imagination on both sides that not everybody will know everything at every stage but i recognize how important it is that business, the private sector and everybody has as much certainty as possible. where we can offer that certainty, we will do so. that is why last year we acted quickly to get clarity and as we repeal the european comm

what kind of country we want to be. my answer is clear. i want this united kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united, and more outward-looking than ever before. i want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country -- a magnet for international talent and a home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead. i want us to be a truly global britain the best friend and , neighbor to our european partners, but a country that reaches beyond the borders of europe, too. a country that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. i want britain to be what we have the potential, talent and ambition to be. a great, global trading nation that is respected around the world and strong, confident, and united at home. that is why this government has a plan for britain. one that gets us the right deal abroad but also ensures we get a , better deal for ordinary working people at home. it's why that plan sets out how we will use this moment of change to build a stronger economy and a fairer society by embracing ge

answer is clear. i want this united kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united and more outward looking than ever before. i want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country. a magnet for international talent. andy home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead. i want us to be a truly global britain. the best friend and neighbor to our european partners. but a country that reaches beyond the borders of europe two. a country that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. i want britain to be what we have the potential and ambition to be. >> a great local trading nation. that is respected around the world. and strong, confident and united at home. that is why this government has a plan for britain. to get the right deal abroad but also ensure we get a deal for ordinary working people at home. it is why that plan sets out how we will use this moment of change to build a stronger economy and a fairer society. by embracing genuine economic and social reform. my our new modern industrial à is

around the world bringing prosperity and jobs into the united kingdom and one thing that will be bad for the economy, the right honorable gentlemen wants a cap on wages, no control and immigration and extra 500 billion pounds. that would not lead to prosperity, no job, no way defend no skills. >> the chancellor said after the referendum to lose single market access would be catastrophic. a few days later the health secretary said the first part of the plan must remain in the single market. the prime minister said something about frictionless access on a single market, and the clarity about this, had she pulled out paying any access fee to achieve access to a frictionless market. >> access to the single market. and key objectives is negotiate the free trade agreement. and trading with and operating in the european union. he talks about frictionless access. a separate point about frictionless borders in relation to the customs issue. in relation to our relationship between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, all parties are absolutely a single page on this, we want to ensure

for the united kingdom. about whatthreat might happen, he uses those phrases, he talks about workers rights. perhaps he should listen to his former colleague, the mayor of london who was today said to give credit to the government, i don't think they want to weaken workers rights and says i have seen no evidence from the conversations i have had with senior members of the government that is their aspiration or their intention, or something they want to do. which is good. rightal with labor of the hand is not talking to the far left.

united kingdom. and as to the threat that this right honorable gentleman claims about what might happen -- he often talks about this, talks about workers rights. perhaps he should listen to his former colleague, the mayor of said, toho has today give credit to the government, i don't think they want to weaken workers rights, and goes on to say, i have seen no evidence from the conversations i have had with senior members of the government that that is their aspiration or their intention, or something they want to do. which is good. as usual with labor, the right hand is not talking to the far left. [cheers] speaker: jeremy corbyn. -- mr. speaker -- the evidence of what the tory party in this government really thinks about workers' rights was there for all to see yesterday. a private members bill under the 10 minute rule bill by a tory mp to tear up parts of the international labor organization convention. billng down my friend's to protect european workers' writes that have been obtained in this country. that is the real agenda of the tory party. mr. speaker, what the prime minister is

that the matter is that if you were to take the trading relationship between the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the united states and remove the labels and look at the numbers you would pick the with the numbers you would pick the with the eu everytime. and, yet, we have had a vote where we are leaving the european union and now we are in a position where we have to leave an extremely advantageous trade relationship and make up for it with other deals. the prime minister has a job on her hands. president trump as saying that he will do this himself but we know that today it is just talks between the leaders. they won‘t do anything, it is just about the team of negotiators. as the uk have the right people in place to make, to do the negotiations without being eaten alive by your lot? the united kingdom does not have sufficient numbers of trade experts right now and at what is worrying, of course, is that they had to do trade negotiations with the eu and the other 27 member states and now, pote

president of the european investment bank. your investment bank has large interests in the united kingdom. you support us building new trains, building new smart meters, you have a lot of money invested, about 7 billion euros a year. what did you ta ke billion euros a year. what did you take from theresa may's speech in terms of britain's relationship with the rest of the european union was yellow of course i'm still devastated by the decision of the british people but i have to respect it. today i had hoped for a slightly more constructive approach. now we have to go through negotiation pi’ocess have to go through negotiation process that is probably going to be pretty for the bank. it's difficult because the united kingdom is a strong shareholder with 60% of shares and a very good strong and good client. so be exposure to the united kingdom is far beyond 50 billion euros. excellent projects in energy, efficiency, climate change projects, infrastructure, bioscience. so we are very sorry that this will end some day and i hope we will come to a procedure that will bring this very close and go

. what she and the tory party have said is that scotland is an equal partner within the united kingdom. actually, the phrase, not from theresa may, but from her predecessor was scotland should lead the united kingdom, not leave the united kingdom. but the phrase equal partnership has been used by the conservative party, that scotland is an equal partner within the united kingdom. if you're an equal partner within the united kingdom, then your views on something as substantial and far reaching as brexit deserve to be taken on account on an equal basis. it was one person, one vote in scotland as it was everywhere else in the country. a scottish person was equal to everywhere else. but scotland is a country, not a county, and the scottish nation voted decisively to stay within the european union. but of course, it was theresa may who said explicitly, the week after she became prime minister, when she went to visit nicola sturgeon in scotland, she said she wanted an agreed position across the united kingdom. you can't have an agreed position, unless you're prepared to consult people on an equal basi

opportunity for both united states and the united kingdom in continuing to walk side-by-side. her decision to visit america soon after our presidential election and the republican-led government took power as a signal of her commitment to strengthen the special relationship our countries enjoy. it is my honor to welcome america's newest friend from number ten downey street, the first foreign head of state to visit and address our retreat, the honorable theresa may. [applause] [applause] thank you very much for that fantastic welcome and can i say majority leader mcconnell, mr. speaker, speaker, distinguished members of the senate and representatives of the house, i would like to thank congress and the congressional institute for the invitation to be here today. the opportunity to visit the united states is always special and to be invited to be the first serving head of government to address this important conference is an honor indeed. i defy any person to travel to this great country at any time and not to be inspired by its promise and its example. for more than two centuries the very idea

and gentlemen, the president of the united states, and the prime minister of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. pres. trump: thank you very much. honored to have prime forster theresa may here her first official visit from a foreign leader. sos is her first visit, great honor. the special relationship between our two countries has been one of the great forces in history for justice and peace and, by the way, my mother was born in , which is serious scotland. today, the united states renewed our deep bond with britain, ily, financial, social. we have one of the great bonds. we pledge our lasting support to this special relationship. together, america and the united kingdom are a beacon for prosperity and the rule of law. that is why the united states respects the sovereignty of the british people and their right of self-determination. a free and independent britain is a blessing to the world. and our relationship has never been stronger. both america and britain understand that governments must be responsive to everyday working people, that governments must re

, which is played very badly in the united kingdom. he was asked about his support for torture. he was asked if it could work. he said he believed it would work but he would defer to his secretary of defence on the matter. he would have the disabling fought on that. that was a clear statement on any issue which has been very contentious in both the united kingdom and in the united states. the two leaders are having a working lunch no. the prime minister said they were going to be talking about syria and russia. minister said they were going to be talking about syria and russiam was interesting that russia was raised in the press conference. he said he did not know if they would have a good relationship with russia because he said he did not know the russian president. there were also reports that he had been thinking of lifting the sanctions against russia. he said it was premature. that would concern great britain. it is her belief that the sanctions should not be listed. in terms of syria, there has been talk of putting the fate of the presently on the back burner. the prime mini

prime minister said the equal partner in the united kingdom. is she stringing the people of scotland along. >> with the administration to ensure their voices are heard, their interests taken into account. and i specifically reference the scotland plan, to look at, the scotland plan will be considered by the j mc on european negotiations, and working with the scottish government moving forward. >> scotland leaving economic forecasters, the real wages will pop. tories jeering and cheering, when the forecast for people's income is likely to drop by 2000 pounds, 80,000, mister speaker, 18,000 people may lose their job in scotland as a result of the brexit plan of the prime minister. this is a price worth paying for our little britain brexit. >> i repeat what i said. we are working to get the best possible deal in terms of access to the single market and continuing to cooperate in partnership with member states of the european union. the right honorable gentlemen once again talks about the possibility about the negative impact on scotland. his party is dedicated to taking scotland out of

something else. strengthening the precious union between the four nations of the united kingdom. at this moment this time, it is more important than ever that we face the future together, united by what makes us strong. the bonds that unite us as a people and our shared interest in the u.k., with an open, successful trading nation in the future. and i hope that same spirit of unity will apply and northern ireland in particular in the coming months, to work together to establish a partnership government as soon as possible. are theaffairs responsibility of the u.k. government. dealing and acting in interest of all parts in the united kingdom. as prime minister, i take that responsibility seriously. i have also been determined from the start that the administration should fully be engaged in this process. that is why the government has set up a joint ministerial committee on e.u. negotiations. contribute to the process of planning for our departure from the european union. we have already received from the scottish government -- we look forward to getting a paper from the welsh government

, a program of events and activities which connects people with the united kingdom parliament. this year, there are over 250 activities and events taking place across the uk. the issues to be debated today were chosen by the annual make your mark ballot of 11 to 18-year-olds. the british youth council reported that once again the number of votes has increased with 978,216 young people casting a vote this year. today, the uk youth parliament will choose the issues which it wishes to have as the subjects of its priority campaigns for 2017. this year's youth parliament also marks the third year of the paul busket memorial award, set up in the wake of the passing of paul busket mbe, who was one of the driving forces behind the uk youth parliament at the british youth council. british youth council support workers, parliamentary staff and guests will have the opportunity today to vote in two categories. best debate lead speech and best back bench contribution. presentation of awards will take place at a reception in january of next year. today's proceedings will be broadcast live on the

takes place where we are right now. this chamber is the united kingdom's parliamentary democracy and the fact that these debates take place here sends a signal about the importance of the uk youth parliament but it's the parliamentarians and the government it means that both mps here in the house and ministers in white falls will be listening to hear what you have to say. i hope you will go away today not only having enjoyed and relish the experience but also with a sense that you will feel confident about communicating to your colleagues and contemporaries that this is their parliament as much as it is the parliament of me or my colleagues in government or colleagues in the opposition or even you mr. speaker. it is the parliament of young people as much as of anyone else this is still the place where you can seek to change this country and its society and the way that you think it needs to be changed for the better and of course there will be many different ideas, contested ideas about what change for the better actually means. that is what democratic debate is all about but too oft

with for the united kingdom and as for the threats about what might happen, and he often talks about this, he uses those phrases and talks about workers' rights, perhaps he should listen to his former colleague in this house, the mayoral london, sadiq khan, who has today said to give credit to the government, i don't think they will weaken workers' rights and goes on to say i don't see any evidence from conversations i've had with senior members of the government that that is their aspiration, intention, members of the government that that is theiraspiration, intention, or something they want to do, which is good. as usual with labour, the right hand is not talking to the far left. the prime minister is heading to the united states on friday to meet the president, donald trump. she's one of the first foreign leaders to meet the new president. 0n the agenda are discussions about trade deals and security. the prime minister insists she will not be afraid to speak her mind. i'm pleased i'm able to meet president trump so early in his administration. that is a sign of the strength of the

agreement with united kingdom. —— donald trump and those around of spoken of it. i expect to be able to talk to him about that alongside other issues will be discussing with them whenl other issues will be discussing with them when i in washington. i think free trade is important around the world and i believe globalisation is important andl world and i believe globalisation is important and i believe it does bring economic benefits to our but we do need to make sure that those economic benefits and that prosperity is spread across the whole of the uk. he is a republican president who leads the world's strongest public that he seems to be quite a royalist so perhaps there will be a reciprocal visit where he will be a reciprocal visit where he will be a reciprocal visit where he will be at windsor buckingham palace and her majesty will do the honours. you certainly get that sense and theresa may said she would welcome him if he came down to buckingham palace to establish when any kind of state visit would happen. that has been a lot of speculation about how he would want to perhaps play golf

the economic and trading ties between the united kingdom and ireland. our two governments are agreed that if close and friction free economic and trading relationship between the united kingdom and the european union, including ireland, is in our very best interests, and uk prepares for its formal notification under article 50, we want to see that these deep trading ties between our two countries are quite nice and facilitated. and that will continue to be an absolute priority for my government, notjust in our discussions with the british government, but also with our eu partners as we prepare for the negotiation process on the eu side of the table. prime minister may and i also took the opportunity today to reaffirm our commitment to maintaining the common travel area so maintaining the common travel area so important for our people on both sides, and we agreed to continue working together to this end. our discussions also touched on the importance of our future cooperation in key areas like agriculture and food, energy, security, criminal justice, education and culture. so i wa nt

, britannia rising to defend the united kingdom. we will get a clea n b rea k the united kingdom. we will get a clean break from the the united kingdom. we will get a clean breakfrom the eu the united kingdom. we will get a clean break from the eu according to the daily express. mae reveals a vision for a global britain. this is how long—awaited speech. vision for a global britain. this is how long-awaited speech. that is right, according to the daily express their will be this clean break and britain will reject any watered—down departure deal. it will not be half in half out, a bit like you cannot be half pregnant. it will be completely out of the european union. apparently the prime minister will confirm her top objective, britain's future outside the eu. many of the papers mostly agree britain will be a free trading nation, global, outward looking. funny, i thought the uk was pretty outward looking not just funny, i thought the uk was pretty outward looking notjust with the eu. we were noticing the papers do not quite agree. they think she is going to say the uk is pulling out of

sign up to a bad deal for the united kingdom and as to the threat that he claims about what mighto happen and he often talks aboutt this, he uses those phrases and talks about workers rights. perhaps you should listen to his former colleague in this house, the mayor of london who has today said to give credit to the government i don't think they want to weaken workers rights and goes on to say i've seen no evidence from the conversation i've had with senior members of the government that that is their aspiration or intention o something they want to do, which is good.e as usual with labor, though right hand is not talking to the far left. mr. speaker the evidence of what they really think about workers rights was there for all to see yesterday, a private members bill under the ten minute rule bill to tear up parts of the international labor organization convention, talking down my friend to protect europeanri workers rights that have been attained in this country. that is the real agenda.arty. mr. speaker, what the prime minister is doing is aiming a threat at our public services w

invitation for a state visit to president trump, here to the united kingdom, and that invitations stands. protests against the president's policy have taken place across the uk, as an online petition, calling for his state visit dropped, attracts more than 1.5 million signatures. canadian police have charged a french—canadian student over the killing of six people at a mosque in quebec. the actor peter capaldi has announced he is stepping down from the role of doctor who. and coming up on newsnight. copper ore at those travel restrictions. we will hear from the most senior diplomat to come out of the us, what is his reaction to his president's travel bans? —— uproar at those travel bans? —— uproar at those travel restrictions. good evening and welcome to bbc news. a state visit to britain by president trump will go ahead later this year, despite mounting opposition. an online petition objecting to the visit has now attracted more than 1.5 million names, and there have been demonstrations in several cities this evening. the row was prompted by mr trump's decision to ban entry to

relationship. together, america and the united kingdom are a beacon for prosperity and the rule of law. that is why the united states respects the sovereignty of the british people and their right of self—determination. a free and independent britain is a blessing to the world and our relationship has never been stronger. both america and britain understand that governments must be responsive to everyday working people, that governments must represent their own citizens. madam prime minister, we look forward to working closely with you as we strengthen our mutual ties and commerce, business and foreign affairs. great days lie ahead for our two peoples and our two countries. on behalf of our nation, i thank you forjoining us here today. it is a really great honour. thank you very much. thank you very much, mr president. can i start by saying that i am so pleased that i have been able to be here today and thank you for inviting me so soon after your inauguration. i'm delighted to be able to congratulate you on what was a stunning election victory. as you say, the invitation is an i

by the people of the united kingdom. decision has already been made by the people of the united kingdomm exchange for their support, the opposition will want guarantees of a meaningful —— meaningful vote at the end of the process. scottish nationalists don't rule out a second referendum on scottish independence. the decision is looming for scotland. are we prepared to allow her future to be dictated by a westminster government that is going down a path that i think the majority of people in scotland don't wa nt to majority of people in scotland don't want to go down, or are we going to ta ke want to go down, or are we going to take our future into your own hands? the westminster parliament is sovereign, says the court, and only parliament can change the law. ultimately, they have underscored the very foundation of britain's unwritten constitution and as abraham would say, these important principles, are inflexible. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in westminster. iam i am always conscious with my former asa i am always conscious with my former as a paris and

the united kingdom and continuing to walk side-by-side. her decision to visit america soon after our presidential election was a signal of her commitment to strengthen the special relationship our countries enjoy. it is my honor to welcome from number 10 downing street, the first foreign head of state to visit an address our retreat, the honorable theresa may. [applause] prime min. may: thank you. for that very much fantastic welcome. can i say majority leader mcconnell, mr. speaker, distinguished members of the senate, and representatives of the house, thank you to congress and the congressional institute for being here today. the opportunity to visit the united states is always special. to be invited to be the first serving head of government to address this important conference is an honor indeed. -- any person can travel to this country at any by itsd not be inspired promise and its example. more than two centuries, the idea of america drawn from form from agiven small hole, not far from here, has lit up the world. that idea that all are created equal and that all are born free,

where you are, look at the person sitting next to you, we are the united kingdom youth parliament. a diverse body of young individuals all with a common aim of making change. you don't believe me? in this room alone 33% of us are either black, asian, or from a minority ethnic group. the statistics speak for themselves. we are currently sitting within the four walls of british democracy. can you not see that change is in our hands? if we were given more than a year to administrate a effective campaign, key word effective, maybe, just maybe we can tackle the issue that is racial discriminati discrimination, an issue that is such a large scale, this is exactly why they are working with people who devote their work to tackling racial and religious discrimination, it has rippled throughout the ages and made a mark in history, so to accomplish it in a mere six months would seem unlikely but it can be changed overtime and begins with us. we are the chosen ones brought forth to call change, we were elected to bring change. we are sitting right here right now to make change. but let us mak

see from a prime minister standing up for the interests of all people in the united kingdom. maria caulfield, how do you see it? people in the united kingdom. maria caulfield, how do you see mm people in the united kingdom. maria caulfield, how do you see it? it is a great opportunity for this country to start trading with the rest of the world. currently, our membership of the eu prevents us doing free trade deals with, 12 countries and places like the us. if we stay in the customs union, we will still be hampered by that. sol the customs union, we will still be hampered by that. so i am waiting to hear what the prime minister says, but this is an opportunity for this country to grow jobs but this is an opportunity for this country to growjobs and make links with countries that we currently can't do. philwilson, what with countries that we currently can't do. phil wilson, what about the point that stay in the customs union would hamper the uk's ability to have the sort of deal that donald trump is saying he wants to have quickly between the uk and the us? we talk about this deal w

member states and for european businesses to operate here in the united kingdom. it is about sitting down and negotiating the best possible dealfor the united and negotiating the best possible deal for the united kingdom. and negotiating the best possible dealfor the united kingdom. that is what i'm committed to and that is what i'm committed to and that is what this government is going to deliver. my question was about how much we're going to have to pay to have access to the market. no answer. yesterday she talked about the pressure put on public services by migration. can ijust remind her, as one of her honourable friends did earlier, that at the moment there are 55,000 eu citizens working in our national health service helping to treat all of the people of this country? are 80,000 care workers helping our mainly elderly people. there are 5000 teachers educating our children. the real pressure on public services comes from a government that slashed billions from the social care budget, that is cutting the schools budget, disclosing a&e apartments and walk—in centres and start ce
