what do you make of david davis's comments? and assurance, which we have already had, in relation to a final vote on the deal, and that the house will also get a vote if there was no real. —— the house. house will also get a vote if there was no real. -- the house. we have been hearing a lot about the fact that the commons committee has said that the commons committee has said that if there is no deal they didn't feel that the government is prepared for plan b, as it were, a contingency plan. i don't know about that, the foreign affairs committee have looked into that carefully, and certainly we know from talking to david davis, of course there is the prospect of no deal, which is very serious. i also know, as we have been told, the government is absolutely determined to get a deal. they want to try very hard, we have had that from the prime minister, david davis, we know that is the case, but we also know there is a risk that there might be no deal but also there are some mps who actually don't want a deal. i certainly don

how can it be that david davis and borisjohnson how can it be that david davis and boris johnson awaiting how can it be that david davis and borisjohnson awaiting this away. that it is not matter about a deal. how can you that it is not matter about a deal. how can you argue that it is not matter about a deal. how can you argue that is a good idea. who was behind this piece of research? they were all remainers say you say, it has already been written from a specific point of view so we look at it through that lends and other people would say, you could not get a much worse deal than 68th clean pound trade deficit. -- 68 than 68th clean pound trade deficit. —— 68 billion pound trade deficit deal. ukip get car is against that market. —— tariff. deal. ukip get car is against that market. -- tariff. it would enable you to an short to get a good deal because every other country has to make sure that when we leap we are the biggest export market. would people expect to cope with wto and tariff? and a drop in the standard of living. even if you had to deal with the wto rules, the amount

smooth and orderly says david davis, but also a massive task. it is, something they can't start doing once we leave, they have to start doing it now to be ready for the day we do leave. if you get rid of the eu law you need to replace it with something. this is the idea you tra nsfer something. this is the idea you transfer it over. no one is entirely sure how many laws and regulations we are talking about, one survey reckons 53,000 laws since 1990 which shows how much influence brussels has had on every area of our life. some see it as a force for good, they think it means workers' rights, environmental protections, have been a good influence. others say it's a sign of how much it has encroached on our life and how much this place here hasn't had a say. it gets back again to what kind of country will we be after we leave the european union? the thought amongst some, we heard from opposition mps, their fear is that eu law will come across but there will be some who want to start getting rid of it. we heard that from one tory mp. two years from t

we will hear from david davis we will hearfrom david davis in we will hear from david davis in the next little while. looking down, an element of the day ‘s business is still underway. we want to hear from david davis but let's pick up on some of the points norman was making. iamjoint some of the points norman was making. i am joint by professor catherine barnard from cambridge university. good to see you. you have reflected since the referendum about the sheer scale of the task. norman was talking about some of the politics of it. in terms of actually what has to be done now, it is an enormous task. it is a fast task, you use gargantuan and that is right. the great repeal bill which we are going to hear about today is going to do three things. it will repeal the european community's act, the actor took isn't it be with the first place. secondly, it will incorporate all existing europe law into british law. a lot has been done because directives are part of our law. thirdly, this is the biggest part of the exercise, there will be powers given to the executive, the infamous henry viii

nobody really knows what'll happen, including david davies and liam fox. we will have to see how all of shakes down. the front page of the times, lucy. the eyes of history are watching and that includes the picture behind theresa may of the first prime minister of great britain? yes, an interesting choice given many historians revile him as corrupt. but he is the first prime minister and it is that patriotically chip, this union jack flag next to her. it will become an iconic image. i love this buzzword, it isa iconic image. i love this buzzword, it is a wet signature. it is a properfountain pen. it is a wet signature. it is a proper fountain pen. you can see the weight of it. i am disappointed it is not an actual quill. but the irna is not an actual quill. but the irna is it is a woman prime minister in the position of having to do this, following on from a woman conservative prime minister who, while she had her issues with europe and famously said no, no, no, was actually still committed to europe? she was committed to the trade aspects and the trade an

and we are hearing from david davies that he does have one. this is a kiwi in this whole process, because if the bill to trigger article 50 goes back to the commons tomorrow and back to the lords, if it passes balls, it could potentially be triggered as early as tuesday. the government keen that the amendments put forward by the lords last week, should be rejected. those are to protect the rights of eu citizens living in the uk to remain here. it also has parliament a say in the final deal. david davis is seeing parliament will get to see, but he doesn't want it set in low, because it will tie one hands behind theresa may's back as she goes into negotiations. dutch riot police have clashed with protesters in rotterdam, amid a diplomatic row — that saw a turkish minister escorted out of the country. water cannons were used to disperse hundreds of protesters who'd gathered to demonstrate against the decision. turkey's family minister was trying to win support among expatriates for a referendum on expanding turkish presidential power — but th

the brexit secretary, david davis, has urged mps not to support the house of lords' amendments to the bill which will allow the government to begin the process of exiting the european union. he said the proposals, to protect the rights of eu citizens and give parliament a vote on the final brexit deal, would undermine the government's negotiating position. but the shadow brexit secretary, keir starmer, said labour would argue for the changes to go ahead. meanwhile, the house of commons committee on foreign affairs has warned about the prospect of britain leaving the eu without a deal in place, and said it would be a "dereliction of duty" if the government didn't have a contingency plan in place. earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent, susana mendonca. what has everybody been saying? we have had this report from the foreign affairs select committee basically saying that if the government doesn't have a plan in place for an outcome where we don't have a deal at the end of the brexit negotiations, that would be a dereliction of its duty, and it is saying there is a realistic pro

david davis's response to that. what concerns are you picking up from one peas —— mps on that scrutiny? how much is going to be open to scrutiny? because there is so much that needs to be transferred over the argument from the government is you can't have a full debate about all of it. they would argue a lot of these eu laws and regulations were brought in by something called a statutory instrument, it means it isn't fully debated. their argument isn't fully debated. their argument is in order to technically change it so is in order to technically change it so it works under uk law they are going to change it in that way as well. it has brought accusations they are seizing these so—called henry viii powers that things would be debated properly. what david davis says is on the big issues such asa davis says is on the big issues such as a whole new immigration system we're going to have to have, the new customs union, all sorts of other things that will have too replaced the systems we already have, that'll be w

brexit secretary david davis has urged mps is the brexit secretary david davis has insisted that the government is working on contingency plans in case britain crashes out of the european union without a deal. speaking this morning he said the country would be ready if the negotiations go wrong. his comments come after a government committee warned that the failure to reach an agreement would be very destructive for both britain and the eu. we have had this report from the foreign affairs select committee. its saying that if the government doesn't have a deal in place for the end of the negotiations that would bea end of the negotiations that would be a dereliction of duty. we have heard time and again from the government that no deal is better than a bad deal. crispin blunt, the chair of the committee, is basically saying there needs to be clear planning to prevent a bad impact on the rest of us. the most important... the treaties of the european union no longer apply. then we will go to world trade organisation trading terms with the uk and there will be lots of practical implicati

savaging brexit minister david davis, suggesting there is no plan. as nigel said, they had already been very critical of david cameron, accusing the government of gross negligence, of never having a plan b for the result of the referendum, which resulted in a leave vote. to do it again would be absolutely appalling. they use this phrase, mutually assured damage, which is a throwback to mutually assured destruction, a cold war term used by russia and america. it is absolutely damning. it is chilling for the government. it is chilling to business. it is chilling to the country. if there is no deal, and theresa may has said we will walk away because no deal is better than away because no deal is better than a bad deal, they have got this idea in their heads it is possible there is not a deal they can agree to. what is the plan? if she does trigger it on tuesday or thursday, they have two years to come up with something. politically, if there is a plan b that is being configured, they don't want to make too much of it because they wanted to succeed. what

in advance, the brexit secretary david davis has called on mps to reject the amendments put forward by the house of lords. our diplomatic correspondent, james robbins reports. we all know what set britain on the road to brexit — last year's referendum victory for leave. but we don't know what brexit will actually look and feel like. nine months on, a cross—party committee of mps is warning that the coming negotiations could stall or be derailed. their report says a complete breakdown in the talks would be very destructive, damaging both the eu and the uk. and the mps argue that the government isn't planning sufficiently for a painful no deal outcome. as the prime minister prepares to trigger the formal start of the brexit process later this month, a government spokesperson has responded to the committee report by saying that david davis, the secretary of state for exiting the european union, had briefed the cabinet last month on the need to prepare, notjust for a negotiated settlement, but also for the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement could be reached.

uk hasn't been decided, but the brexit secretary david davis says it will be a priority once talks get under way. if ellie and her collea g u es under way. if ellie and her colleagues were to return to eastern europe, then who would fill the va ca nt posts 7 europe, then who would fill the vacant posts? there certainly isn't an abundance of labour here in settle. the jobless rate an abundance of labour here in settle. thejobless rate is currently around 3% and according to the government, that means this area has full employment. the prospect of eu workers losing their right to remain isa eu workers losing their right to remain is a worry for the manager at annie hall. she wants to keep her current migrant workforce and recruit more staff from europe. we don't know what is going to happen, we can't plan, we are in a very rude role location —— in a very rural location and it has been historically difficult to recruit and without the staff from eastern europe, it will be difficult to function. it all seemed very clear on the morning ofjune 2a last year, perhaps less so now and the ta

david davis is on the front page of the mail. he's come in for criticism from mps for not having a plan, if they don't come up with the deal during the brexit talks. david davis has said effectively, there's no point in talking about something which we have no idea what it will involve. but he says needs to be some sort plan b if the deal doesn't come off. similar story on the front of the 0bserver. the front page of the sunday times is speculating on possible interference of russian cyber attacks in the next general election here in the uk. sources at gchq said the political system needs to be protected from foreign hackers. let's see what has got you right inside the papers. i love the story. eight—year—old skipped lessons and happiness. top of the do this, it's all about well—being, mindfulness, relaxation. it's almost an unbelievable headline, where we have to teach children how to be happy. hopefully, they will be in situations where they are happy. this idea comes from the extra anxiety and stress that more and more y

we've heard from david davis, the brexit minister in the uk, that they did not threaten the uk. he said that on british radio this morning. >>> reacting to the uk's triggers of article 50, the brexit negotiator said the mood on the continent had changed. >> my impression is brexit has created a sentiment in the public opinion. saying we're critical towards the european union, we're not so tup stupid as the brits to go out or destroy it. that's my feeling in a certain way what happened in britain has changed the mood on the continent. let's get out to willem marx in malta. we're less than 24 hours into the start of the official brexit negotiations between the eu and uk, already we're hearing a war of words when it comes to the brexit bill and security. absolutely. forgive me for the bad sound behind me. theresa may tried so hard -- i will wait for that to finish. there will be one more bell. all right. we're all set. theresa may tried so hard to to give a positive spin yesterday. both to the house of commons and the europeans listening to her letter, but if you listened between t

i don't think so because i think david davis will effectively give us a statement, saying there will be a vote in parliament on the final deal. importantly, i think we need a vote if there is no deal. so you are looking for a guarantee that there will be a vote? yes, effectively, we are looking for a statement in the house of commons during the debate from david davis, the secretary of state for exiting the european union, saying that there will be a timely vote, and by that, i mean before the european parliament gets hold of any final deal and a meaningful vote, i.e., that we will be able to see something which makes a difference. if there is no deal, i still think the government will really need to have parliament's endorsement of the position, all of its position, at least. if there is no deal, a lot of people are beginning to speculate and worry about what will happen. that is why we are raising the point now because in two years' time, it will be too late to worry about the implications of no deal. we need to know now what the government is really thinking. the government would

david davis, the brexit secretary, saying that is highly unlikely. he is saying that he is hoping and expecting some kind of deal. he is confident that he will get that. then we heard from borisjohnson, saying the poor fee 0k borisjohnson, saying the poor fee ok if there was no deal. that would alarm some mps even more. what they wa nt alarm some mps even more. what they want is a guarantee that even if there is no deal, parliament gets a say even if there is no deal. this has caused a lot of argument, about what will that mean, accusations have these conservatives and lib dems and labour are simple try to go against the referendums and that they are some way going to try and have a vote that keeps them in the european union but speaking to mps they say there is no way that we can stay in the eu, we know that but we feel that the pilot has to be brought aside. in the end if she cannot take parliament with her, then you are in a position anyway where you get to a point of no confidence we'd get to the point where she might have to call a general elect

i am joined by the chairman of that committee and the brexit secretary himself, david davis. i have also examined the big budget row. we have the shadow business secretary and i am joined by belfast from gerry adams, the sinn fein leader. all of that plus emily sunday singing us out and the lovely actress tandy newman. coming up in the next half—hour: mike has been taken for a 150 mph spin by one of the teenagers hoping to make this a historic season for young women in motorsport. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. coming up before 8:00, louise will have a full weather forecast for you. but first at 7:30, a summary of this morning's main news. an influential committee of mps has today warned that government would be guilty of "a serious dereliction of duty" if it fails to plan for brexit talks ending without a deal. the commons foreign affairs committee said that a complete breakdown in talks would represent "a very destructive outcome, leading to mutually assured damage for the eu and the uk." the brexit secreta

the brexit secretary david davis has called on mps to reject lords amendments — and to give the prime minister a "free hand" in negotiations with the european union. if the bill is passed — theresa may could trigger the formal process of brexit as early as tuesday. our political correspondent susana mendonca has more details. theresa may wants to get on with it. for months she has vowed to kick—start brexit talks by the end of march. but some here in parliament are fighting to get safeguards written into law before the negotiations begin. today the brexit secretary tried to reassure mps and peers they would get a vote on the prime minister's final deal with the eu. but... what we can't have is the, the either house of parliament reversing the decision of the british people. they haven't got a veto on it. what does it mean otherwise? people talk about meaningful votes. what does it mean. peers have defeated the government twice, and labour's standing firm.

and in advance of a commons debate tomorrow, brexit secretary david davis has called on mps to reject the amendments put forward by the house of lords. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. we all know what is on the road to brexit, last year's referendum for leave. but we don't know what brexit will actually look and feel like. nine months on, a cross—party committee of mps is warning that the coming negotiations could stall or beta railed. their report says a com plete beta railed. their report says a complete breakdown in the talks would be very destructive, damaging both the eu and the uk, and three mps argue that the government is not planning sufficiently for a painful no deal outcome. —— and the mps. as the prime minister prepares to trickle the film will start to the brexit versus later this month, a government spokesperson has responded to the report by saying that david davis, the secretary of state for exiting the european union, had briefed the cabinet last month on the need to repair notjust for a negotiated settlement but also for a negotiated settlem

the brexit secretary david davis saying he wa nts secretary david davis saying he wants the bill to go through with no strings attached. we know label went agreed to that, jeremy corbyn says today what's crucial is how many tory mps are prepared to go against the government. ministers have given them a verbal reassurance that parliament will have the final say on the final terms of the departure from the eu, the key question now is whether that's enough to stave off a rebellion. this is a significant moment, this is notjust a test of the prime and mr‘s authority in the house of commons but once this bill is passed, theresa may will be able to and start the process that will end with the uk's departure from the european union. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has prompted angerfrom within his party after saying it would be absolutely fine if a second referendum was held on scottish independence. the party later issued a statement clarifying its position saying it opposed a second referendum. but it added that it was not the job of westminster to block referendums. a british airline w

the british government, especially david davis, he is saying that we need to talk about both at the same time. that could be a dealbreaker if the europeans don't agree to that. the whole thing is fraught with difficulties. the report by the economic and monetary affairs committee has put in all kinds of impediments already. so we believe from a draft. they want the ec] to have continued control and jurisdiction. they want to control our tax policy. the men in charge is mr verhofstadt,,wbo,is thg, gag; = enthusiastic integrationist you'll find whole parliament, so he has not got any... he is the parliament spokesperson. he is not in charge. is he not a senior observer? he will be. on behalf of the parliament. he will have no negotiating role whatsoever. right? every single one of those committees is doing that. they want the hardest possible deal imaginable. the fairest one i have read is from the constitutional affairs committee, which actually was quite a fair exposition of where we are and what could happen. i don't agree with all of it. but for example, one of the things it says is we

inside the commons the conservative mp david davis was one of those who ca ptu red mp david davis was one of those who captured what was happening. stay back, stay back! is he coming? shouting. back, back, back, back! get back! let's get back! get back! somebody‘s underfire. came under fire down there. inaudible. come this way, guys. let's get over to the other building. stay where you are, ok? i'll come this way. don't try to get down there at the moment. can you get a view of what's going on? what's happened 7 stabbing. i'm trying to find out. scenes from inside parliament yesterday captured by the mp david davis. we are not afraid were the words that theresa may began her statement to the commons with earlier this morning. she spoke at some length about her thoughts and feelings, the government's response to this attack at the very heart of democracy here, and she also spoke about the individual behind the attack and what is known so far, although his identity hasn't been released yet, and she said that he was british born and bred and was known to m15. the man was british—born

david davis' counterpart said anything meaningful point really start until september. they've all said publicly the guaranteeing of the rights of eu citizens living in this country, and brits living abroad, that is a priority they say for all sides. back could be the one thing they will at least have a discussion about and some kind of principle put in place, even if it's not completely signed off. thank you. turkey's president has warned the netherlands it'll pay the price — after two of his ministers were prevented from attending a rally in rotterdam. dutch police used water cannon to disperse hundreds of turkish protesters there. mr erdogan has again compared the dutch to nazis today, and called the netherlands a "ba na na republic". its prime minister mark rutte has demanded an apology. james robbins reports. not our usual image of the netherlands. this was the wound the dog left behind as riot police used considerable force against turkish demonstrators. they were angered by the dutch government's refusal to allow their politicians to attend a campaign rally in

the brexit secretary david davis has called on mps to reject lords amendments to the brexit bill and to give theresa may a "free hand" in negotiations with the european union. speaking this morning he said that it would not be acceptable for parliament to try to reverse the will of the british people. labour says it will fight for the amendments in the commons tomorrow. our political correspondent susana mendonca reports. the latest instalment in the battle to trigger brexit takes centre stage here tomorrow and the government's warning mps, including potential rebels on its own side, not to stand on its way. what we can't have is the... either house of parliament reversing the decision of the british people. they haven't got a veto on it. i don't think anyone is talking about that. well, well, what does it mean otherwise? you know, people talk about a meaningful vote. what does it mean otherwise? this is how the timetable has unfolded. last week, the house of lords passed the second of two amendments to the government's article 50 bill. tomorrow, the bill goes back to the commons whe

the secretary of state for exiting the european union, david davis. brexit secretary set out the first steps today with the promise of a great repeal bill. we have been clear that we want a smooth and orderly exit and the great repeal bill is integral tool —— integral to that approach. it will provide clarity for businesses and workers across the united kingdom on the day we leave the eu. it will mean that as we exit the eu and seek a new and special partnership with the european union, we will be doing so with the same standards and rules. if you were to look at the dictionary definition of repeal you would find that it needs to reverse or cancel something but the government's great repeal bill actually keeps —— actually seeks to keepin actually keeps —— actually seeks to keep in place existing eu legislation. some say it would be more appropriate to call it a cut and paste bail. but the government argues that by keeping the same rules as the eu, it will be easier to negotiate a trade deal and of course the two governments would be free t

the secretary of state for exiting the european union, secretary david davis. the brexit secretary set out the first steps today, with the promise of a great repeal bill. we're being clear we want a smooth and orderly exit and the great repeal bill is integral to that approach. it will provide clarity and certainty for businesses, workers and consumers across the united kingdom on the day we leave the eu. it'll mean that as we exit the eu and seek a new deep and special partnership with the european union, we'll be doing so from a position where we have the same standards and rules. if you were to look at the dictionary definition of repeal, it means to reverse or cancel something, yet the government's great repeal bill actually seeks to keep in place existing eu regulations. so, some say it would be more appropriate to call it a cut and paste bill. but the government argues by keeping the same rules as the eu it'll be easier to negotiate a trade deal and future governments at westminster will be free to change those rules in due course. labour was worried the

david davis may say, we wa nt to this stage. david davis may say, we want to talk about trade now. but mr barnier will say, i've got no mandate to talk about that. we have to talk about the rights of eu citizens, and uk citizens elsewhere in the eu, the divorce bill, and possibly also the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. it is the only land border between the uk and a country which will remain in the eu. i think the european leaders are very aware of the need to address that early on. let's talk about workers' rights, then. much of the rights in this country are under eu law. they will be downloaded, copied and pasted, however you want to say it, into british law. or will they? however you want to say it, into british law. orwill they? it however you want to say it, into british law. or will they? it is a concern for some people that not everything will be enshrined. we speak to jane malyon, a small business owner that employs five people, schona jolly who is a leading employment rights barrister and the tuc‘s employment rights advocate hannah reed. go

today, we heard from david davis. in legal terms, we are still in the european economic area, which is the single market. parliament has not voted to leave. we might have a vote on that. we might need to still be in the single market during the transitional period and i will fight to preserve those benefits of membership and am disappointed with people who have given up on that. you want to stay in the single market. will you have a legislative war to kind of get in the way of theresa may's version? or will you be constructive? there is a moderate majority in the house of commons that believes in a pragmatic approach to european alliances and there might be a sizeable number of quite hard brexiteers to the right of theresa may but actually the rest of us should set that and in all of those foods we have in the house of commons, we can provide a space for a sensible approach from the prime minister and she has to make compromises to preserve the alliances, that is do what we can to preserve them. thank you both very mu

david davis has talked about a transitional phase, what might that mean? we leave the eu in 2019 but there would be a period where we retain aspects of single market membership while a new agreement is concluded. most think it is possible to leave the eu within two years, but is it possible to strike a new trade agreement? it took them seven years to do one with canada. much less complex than brexit. so there would have to be a conditional phase, where we are half m, conditional phase, where we are half in, half out. no doubt we will return to this many times. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests are esther mcvey, former conservative employment minister, and robert fox, defence editor of the london evening standard. turkey's president has warned the netherlands it'll pay the price after two of his ministers were prevented from attending a rally in rotterdam. dutch police used water cannon to disperse hundreds of turkish protesters there. mr erdo

david davis said he wants the bill to go through with no strings attached. we know that labour will not agree to that. jeremy corbyn said so today. what is crucial is how many tory mps are prepared to go against the government. they had been given a verbal reassurance that parliament will have the final say on the terms of our departure from the eu. the key question now is whether or not that is enough to stave off a rebellion. this is a significant moment, not just stave off a rebellion. this is a significant moment, notjust a test of the prime minister's authority in the house of club and that once the bill is passed, theresa may will be able to push the button and start the process which will end with the departure of the uk from the european union. 0nline ticket touts who buy in bulk and then sell tickets for inflated prices will face unlimited fines under new government plans. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. when it comes to seeing your idols up close, people will sometimes pay large sums. but increasingly fans are being priced out by robo

addressing mps, the brexit secretary david davis said the bill would provide clarity and certainty for people and businesses on the day the uk leaves the eu. as the prime minister said it is our fierce determination to get the right deal for every single person. now is the time to come together to ensure the uk as a whole is prepared for the challenges and opportunities presented by our exit from the eu. we are being clear we want a smooth and orderly exit and the great repeal bill is integral to that approach. it'll provide clarity and certainty for businesses, workers and consumers across the uk on the day we leave the eu. it mean that as we exit the eu and seek new deep as special partnership with the european union will be doing so from a position where we have the same standards and rules. it will also ensure we deliver on our promise to end the supremacy of european union law in the uk as we exit. our laws will be made in london, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast and interpreted not byjudges in luxembourg that the judges across the uk. some have been concerned that parliament will n

that might be one of the first things that david davis and michel barnier will result. let's join ben brown in brussels. then, give is appealing, what is the mood there for britain and the eu now that this historic event has taken place? —— then. that this historic event has taken place? -- then. this was reflected in the tone of donald tusk, sadness, a bit of sarcasm, perhaps in his tweet that after nine months the unit -- tweet that after nine months the unit —— the uk has triggered brexit, almost saying why has it taken so long after the referendum? the european union throughout its history has been growing and has countries knocking at its door saying, please let us into your club, and suddenly, here, you have the british permanent representative, sir tim barrow, handing over a letter saying, actually, we want out of your club. it isa actually, we want out of your club. it is a new experience for the european union and their identity, i think. one of the things we haven't quite cottoned onto here is the importance of money for the eu 27, that the britain is

the brexit secretary, david davis, said the uk was on the threshold of its most important negotiation for a generation. our political correspondent chris mason reports. contents, 118, not contents, 274, so the not contents have it. with those words the government achieved what the supreme court told ministers they had to, parliamentary approval to start brexit. the debates here in the house of lords and in the house of commons are, for now at least, done. one thing came out very clearly in all the debates. it is uncertainty that is bad for business, it is uncertainty that is bad forforeign nationals in the uk, it is bad for uk nationals resident in eu countries. i think the quicker we get on with this process the better. the house of commons had overturned two suggested changes to the plan's new law guaranteeing the rights of eu citizens living here and ensuring parliament gets a vote after the government's brexit negotiations. that meant the bill was carried down this corridor of power and back to the house of lords. but collectively they knew the game was up. as the unelected bit of

the mainly sitting there with david davis. he has a formidable reputation, at least in the city of london, he was seen as least in the city of london, he was seen as being very tough indeed. he says he is going to be friendly and fair -- says he is going to be friendly and fair —— michel barnier. but not naive. what'll happen with people who live and work in the uk? naive. what'll happen with people who live and work in the uk7m naive. what'll happen with people who live and work in the uk? it is a very good question, it applies to lots of people of course. 3 million european citizens who live in the uk, 1.5 million british citizens who live all across the european union. luckily this is something that both sides agree on. in theory at least, the uk and eu, say this has to be a top priority, 4.5 million people secure top priority, 4.5 million people secure about their futures, unlike everything, it is more than anything. it is not like people who can stay where they are but it is about pension rights, to medical access, wh

david davis said there would be pain points yesterday. whether it is this week or down the line. it will not be easy for the government. we will be easy for the government. we will be busy. talking about being busy, france, and more revelations about francois fillon on the weekend which could prove to be, you know, even more controversial. it seems he is ducking one scenario and having to head to another. you could not make it up, really. just a few weeks ago, fio it up, really. just a few weeks ago, no signs of francois fillon being hurt at all. the latest revelation if he was caught tweeting a caricature of his rival, macron. he had to apologise for that. some people interpreted it as anti—semitic. and other allegations that it appears he accepted two suits from a friend worth 30,000 euros. i don't know about you but, a suit worth that much... how many people would accept that? not only acce pt people would accept that? not only accept it... i mean, it is an extraordinary amount of money. and this name he has been given francois two—suits fillon. this name he has been given

david davis says while britain will meet its international obligations, he doesn't think that sort of money will change hands. the cost of the divorce! that's not the last we will hear about that. in fa ct we the last we will hear about that. in fact we will talk about that in the paper review in a moment. so a change of scenery for markets in asia after falls on monday, you can see we have seen games right across—the—board. the yen has moved across—the—board. the yen has moved a little versus the dollar, and the price of oil is up around 0.5% —— gains. part of the reason for the change is people getting their nerve back on wall street the night before after serious falls on friday. the real concern was the fact trump didn't get through his changes to the healthcare reforms. that unknown people, it seems people have got over that disappointment. i'll be back shortly for a look at the papers. i'll see you then but now, back to ben. one in six local roads in england and wales are at risk of becoming damaged beyond repair because of a growing problem of potholes, according to

and the top story here in the uk: david davis has urged mps to back the brexit bill and insisted the uk will be prepared if it has to leave the eu with no deal in place. now on bbc news all the latest business news live from singapore. with the president forced out of office, what challenges lie ahead for the south korean economy? and how the secrets of how to succeed in business could lie in a bit of horseplay. hello and welcome to this monday edition of asia business report, i'm sharanjit leyl. edition of asia business report, i'm shara njit leyl. within edition of asia business report, i'm sharanjit leyl. within the next two months south korea will have a new president and that president will have a raft of economic challenges to deal with, the worsening of relations with china over a missile defence system is a big worry and what will candidates for the top job have to say about giant conglomerates like samsung, so tied up conglomerates like samsung, so tied up in the corruption scandal that brought down park geun—hye? the disgraced leader left the presidential house on sunday,

but david davis also cited a recent house of lords report and it said if the uk leaves the eu without a deal, it will not, by law, have to pay a penny. he regards that as a great card to have in his back pocket. thank you very much. our diplomatic editor mark urban has been speaking to sir simon fraser who until 2015 was the foreign office's top civil servant. he began by asking how successful european leaders have been in holding the eu's 27 member states to the same negotiating position. i think there has been a lot of discipline. it came out of the commission first of all. coming out of the position across the eu. i don't think there has been a lot of informal behind—the—scenes discussion of the agenda or of the key issues yet. that will happen once we formally trigger and the two—year process begins. how likely is it that we'll get towards the end of that 18 month period that the eu has set for reaching the initial agreement with things unresolved on some key issues? i think personally it's certain we won't have resolved everything in the period before the expiry of the arti

the brexit secretary david davis has said the uk government believes that to be unworkable. 0f uk government believes that to be unworkable. of course yesterday first minister received a mandate from the scottish parliament to seek authorisation to hold a second referendum on scottish independence. she argues brexit would mean a profound and a significant change for scotland and says people here must be given the right to vote on their future before the must be given the right to vote on theirfuture before the uk must be given the right to vote on their future before the uk leaves their future before the uk leaves the eu. theresa may has said now is not the time and in fact that message is hardening. it sounds like thatis message is hardening. it sounds like that is extending into the future and perhaps as late as 2021 would be the point at which they might consider a second independence referendum. today the prime minister said now is the time for the nation to pull together. she said the expectation is that the devolved administrations will see a significant increase in their powers asa si

david davis will do that when he sets out the next stage after the triggering of article 50, the great repeal bill. it annuls the act of parliament that took us into the eec and it secondly brings back into uk law all the eu law. really interesting on the next stage after that, what of those eu laws that will be in uk law, what they should appeal. he will say that isn't this parliament, that is that the next parliament, put it in the tory manifesto. reaction will be very interesting. thank you. once the ceremonies of tomorrow's triggering are done with, there is the possibility of no deal at all. we are joined by anna soubry and bernard jenkin. good evening. i'm an ex—remainer. we are leaving the eu, so i don't know what you would call me. we ought to get the language right, i think. are you a happy lever? —— leaver? of course i'm not. i think our country has lost the plot and i am extremely worried about our future. but we've got this vote, we've got to deliver it, the prime minister has been remarkably courageous in stepping up and accepting this button which she would clearly

the brexit secretary today, david davis said he wants a smooth and ordinary process , said he wants a smooth and ordinary process, do you think that is going to happen, given everything you have said? i think we will have to wait and see is the honest answer to that. everybody would hope that the negotiations go wet well for the sake of the country, that this bill can be navigated through parliament, but it does look as very tall order. do you think then, that we will have to go ona do you think then, that we will have to go on a recruitment drive to get a few more civil service mps to work on this thing? there is already recruitment under way to recruit trade experts and others, so yes, we will need to recruit more civil servants, we will also i think have to think about some of the reductions that have been maids in the past and whether those will be able to stand, we are in the case of the civil service, we have actually seen something like a reduction by a fifth since 2010. 0k. seen something like a reduction by a fifth since 2010. ok. good to see you, thank you forjoining us and

a reminder, after 830 we will speak to david davis. the uk coastguard has suspended its search for a private helicopter which went missing over caernarfon bay in north wales yesterday afternoon. five people were onboard the aircraft, which was en route to dublin from milton keynes when it disappeared. 0ur reporter holly hamilton is in caernarfon this morning. what more do we know? as you say this was a privately owned aircraft with five people on board. it was en route to dublin. we know it left milton keynes dons before midday yesterday. it had been scheduled to stop here at however it never arrived. no sightings or radio contact meant that the coastguard had to be informed. the searcher operation began shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. that involved to coastguard helicopters which searched the area between north wales and dublin as well is on land unfortunately they were forced to stop for the night due to poor visibility and weather conditions. north wales police and took over the search and they have been focusing the

davies that parliament would get a say, we didn't quite get that. i think he would have liked to have given it but i think he wasn't given permission to do so. so i think it is very important, that the mps are heavily involved, and that is the marker that we have put down. what is your understanding of what does happen, once theresa may get a deal, if she does get a deal then parliament gets a vote, you worry is about if there is no deal? that is exactly right, there is a possibility that there will be no deal is struck, and that might be for perfectly legitimate reasons, that the prime minister will explain to the house of commons and the house of lords. i think it is really important than on this, if we get no deal, we get onto wto tariffs, and that doesn't apply to all of sectors, critical things, therefore i think constituents would expect members of parliament to have a say on their behalf in that scenario. that is what people are looking for today, we didn't quite get that, hence the extensions, but the bid is going to go through and people ha

the brexit secretary david davis says the process means laws can be amended if necessary, with sovereignty returning to parliament and british courts. we have been clear that we want a smooth and orderly exit — and the great repeal bill is integral to that approach. it will provide clarity and certainly for businesses, workers and consumers across the united kingdom, on the day that we leave the eu at a meeting in malta, eu leaders including the german chancellor angela merkel, have warned that the terms under which britain will leave the eu, must be settled first, before any new trade deal can be discussed. an inquest has heard that the westminster attacker khalid masood, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest. it's feared five members of the same family died in a helicopter crash yesterday in north wales. two of those on board have been named locally as kevin and ruth burke, from milton keynes. health officials have published plans to cut the amount of sugar in everyday foods that are popular with children. in a moment, it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what els
