charge of goldman sachs‘ european operations has urged the uk government to agree a transition deal as soon as possible. the city of london faces a potential cliff edge if it leaves the european union without a formal agreement. goldman sachs employs 6,500 people in the uk and its brexit contingency plans involve adding hundreds of staff to their other european offices. richard gnodde is the head of goldman sachs international. he sat down with the bbc‘s business editor, simon jack. here's what he had to say. i'm spending money every single day to make sure that, come march 2019, i'm open for business. obviously, as each month goes by, i've spent more of that money. so, certainty becomes less useful for me as we go further down that path. if i knew today that we would have a significant transition period, i could stop spending that money, taking out that insurance. because i'd know i would always have time to transition my business. if they tell me in february of 2019 there will be a transition period, well, i've already spent all that money, it's not much use to me. at that point, t

brexit. bluntly, hard brexit means the uk is completely out of the eu. out of the single market, which allows the free movement of goods, people, services, and money between all eu members. out of the customs union, in which all eu members buy and sell from each other without paying import taxes. and they all charge the same taxes on goods coming in from the rest of the world. britain would regain control. control of its borders and immigration — no more open door to people from the eu. control of employment rights and trade — a british rule book, not an eu one. control of its own trade deals with countries outside the eu like america, china and india. many say hard brexit could cause economic damage notjust to the uk, but also, to the eu. we are the second largest economy in the eu. since the election, things have certainly become less clear. some people believe we should now be pushing for what is described as a "softer" brexit. many argue this makes jobs and the economy the priority — more important than controlling immigration or regaining sovereignty. with a softer br

together at opposite ends of the table. their goals, one for the uk, the other favouring the eu, are dramatically different. they agree a brexit deal is possible, but after week two of negotiations, acknowledged it will be tough. the uk should clarify... one... clarification. ..two... clarification. ..three. the eu's visibly exasperated chief brexit negotiator called a total of eight times here in english and french for clarification of the uk's brexit vision. without that, he said, negotiations couldn't progress. david davis was more sanguine. clearly there's a lot left to talk about and further work before we can resolve this. ultimately getting to a solution will require flexibility from both sides. what about concessions from the eu side? where will the eu show some give, perhaps as a trust—making exercise, isn't there any wiggle room? translation: negotiations have only just started. of course there are compromises to be made, but it's too early to talk about them. we're not there yet. week two of brexit talks have now ended with no major breakthrough on some of the thorniest

uk and the eu. the brexit secretary david davis and the eu's michel barnier are to give a statement shortly assessing the past four days of talks. key discussion points have included citizens' rights, the irish border and separation issues, including uk financial liabilities. meanwhile international trade secretary dr liam fox is at the world trade organisation in geneva where he is expected to call for a new round of trade liberalisation under the wto. our political correspondent is at westminster for us. it will be fascinating to see to what extent the uk and eu con power at the end of these four days? yes, it will be really interesting to see their theatrics, with the leading negotiators standing alongside each other and facing questions. we saw a huge amount of analysis of the theatre the last time they appeared together. apple happen again. what we need to be aware of as we look forward to this news conference starting, is it seems unlikely that either side will stand up and herald some huge breakthrough on any issue. that doesn't necessarily mean there's been a failure on eith

symbolic. partly because of brexit, european leaders want to reinforce the value of the eu after the uk's decision to leave. but also because of president trump. remember, he pulled the us out of the trans—pacific partnership, a major trade deal between the us, japan and their pacific neighbours. and talks have lapsed on the vast eu—us trade deal known as ttip, as the head of europe's business lobby group explains. it is important if the eu and japan conclude this agreementjust before the 620 conclude this agreementjust before the g20 summit. it will be an important political science for other economies that trade is good and that two of the leading g20 economies are making a positive step towards free and more fair trade. —— political sign. allie renison is head of europe and trade policy at the uk‘s institute of directors. how important is this deal, giving the turning away from major international trade deals? is very important. at the end of last year, this did not look like it was going to be. there are still a lot of what they call legal scrubbing is to go on. but they did

chief negotiatior says there remain ‘fundamental‘ disagreements" — and the uk must clarify its position on a number of issues. i say by way of conclusion the first round was about organisation. this week has been about presentation. the third round must be about clarification. brexit secretary david davis said the talks had been robust, but there's a lot to be positive about. we conducted this round constructively and at pace... now i hope this is a model we can continue going forward. to coin the phrase, michel, the clock is ticking. within the last hour both sides have released their documents, lots in green but a lot in red including disagreements on the future role of the european court ofjustice. also coming up this hour. two "dark web" marketplaces — selling drugs and weapons — are shut down by the us justice department. there's been a 10% rise in recorded crime in england and wales, the largest annual increase for a decade. one in three cases of dementia could be prevented if people look after their brain throughout their life, according to new research. and it's wil

reimagining of the transport infrastructure. we have a thriving car industry in the uk and yesterday bmw announced an electric version of the mini to be made in oxford. not everyone thinks the target can be met without significant jobs moving overseas. what i am not ok with is setting up a moon shot, electric cars by 2040, but not developing a nasa. we do not have the capability to manufacture, engineer and design batteries, motors, inverters, infrastructure in the uk right now. where is this extra power going to come from? in a recent report the national grid estimated we could require six new power stations the size of the proposed hinkley c nuclear power station to charge these new vehicles by 2050. this is a typical example of a charge point. this company has sold 40,000 electric car charge points since 2009. although they welcome the government announcement, they do not think it ambitious. battery technology is changing 30% every year and gets 30% cheaper each year which means the electric vehicle becomes the same price as the internal combustion engine vehicle by 2020 and after

particular tribute to the role of the uk government in its important work to provide critical aid and emergency support. the uk's continued role here in the coming days and weeks, and the significant funding commitments announced by the secretary of state will save lives and help rebuild mosul. the uk government must finally learn the lessons from iraq, libya and afghanistan. it cannot be allowed to happen in mosul, as it has happened in so many places before, that the cost and impact of uk military action dwarves the relief and reconstruction efforts that follow. she will know that if the experience of fallujah and elsewhere is to be followed in mosul, the vicious tactics of daesh will be that every single house, street and public place being booby—trapped and mined and will take many, many years to clear that. will she, first of all, commit the government to doing all it can to help the technical matter of removing explosives? secondly, it is not the scorching heat of today we are worried about, it is the cold of the mosul winter we're worried about coming along in three or four m
