well, i believe the workforce in wales and the rest of the uk have contributed to the success the uk have contributed to the success of airbus and it would be very foolish of them do about it on their back on that worked was when ultimately so much success as a company has been derived from the technology developed here in wales and the rest of the uk and the dedication of that workforce deserves better than some of the state m e nts deserves better than some of the statements that have come out today. the uk government is engaged with businesses across the country, we are now moving into these discussions and negotiations. ultimately i believe, as the uk does, that we can get that good deal. 0k, sadly we have to let you leave. thank you very much, leader of the conservatives in the welsh assembly. let's stay with this very much and get the latest from westminster. 0ur political correspondentjonathan westminster. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake who westminster. 0ur political correspondentjonathan blake who has been following all the reaction to this today. you heard there,

that you, number two, that you live in the uk, proof that you actually live in the uk at number three, that you have no serious criminal convictions. a report finds the racist murder of an iraqi asylum seeker could have been avoided. the chancellor, philip hammond says the treasury is ‘not the enemy of brexit‘ as he delivers his annual mansion house speech. he also confirms taxes will have to go up to boost spending on the nhs. also coming up, misery for maradona at the world cup.

it is up to the uk. i mentioned earlier, a free—trade agreement with the whole of the uk. 0n the proposal that has been put forward by the uk, i only received this document yesterday, early afternoon, we look at it overnight and we will continue to look at it. i don't have any firm ideological stance on this. is it a temporary baxter? —— backstop. no, backstop means backstop, as i have said, and the uk has said that this is not addressing the question of regulatory alignment. you don't want a border and we agree that we don't wa nt a border and we agree that we don't want a hard order, then there has two b and agreement on customs aspects —— has to be an. and also an agreement on regulatory alignment, and that is missing. backstop means backstop, as i said, so i'm just identifying problems so you don't set off on the wrong track. swiss television. translation: is it too early yet... you are watching bbc news, and michel barnier is taking questions in brussels. we will listen in because he's mak

minis may be made in the uk, but it's not as straightforward as that. when it comes to symbols of british manufacturing, it doesn't get much more iconic than this. but how british is a mini? well, the steering wheel is from romania, the front lights are from spain, the rear lights are from poland, the crankshaft is from france. and these components can go back and forth several times between here and the eu. in fact, of the components that go into this car, 60% come from the eu. you get a real picture of how it takes a continent to build a car. the government insisted it is listening to business and wants the same things from the negotiation. our intention is to avoid unnecessary frictions at the border, to avoid tariffs. we couldn't be clearer in terms of our understanding of what the economy needs and that is to be able to continue to operate a sophisticated, modern, just in time production system. airbus and bmw have long harboured concerns over brexit. with nine months to go before we leave the eu, those concerns have turned to alarm. simon jack, bb

theresa may and the uk government. theresa may and the uk government. the northern ireland secretary said that the government plans for ensuring frictionless trade across the border will be published next month, added confidence that there isa month, added confidence that there is a solution that can avoid a hard border? absolutely. the eu has put forward our view as to what that solution would be and it was translated from the text which was agreed before christmas in terms of avoiding a hard border, because as possible. but we need to ensure that it is not just possible. but we need to ensure that it is notjust north and south, ireland wants to have as frictionless a border east and west as well and they think the uk want the same outcome with its relationship with the whole of the eu so that's what we need to work towards. our first preference eu so that's what we need to work towards. ourfirst preference has a lwa ys towards. ourfirst preference has always been to solve the irish issue through the wider relationshi

that affect the 3.8 million eu citizens in the uk as well as the 900,000 uk citizens in the uk fred—mack eu. eu citizens who have beenin fred—mack eu. eu citizens who have been in the country for five years by the end of twenty20, the end of the brexit transition period, will be able to apply for settled status, which means they can live and work in the uk. if they haven't been here for five years, they will be able to apply to stay until they reach that threshold and then get settled status. we are expecting to find out today about the application process and how much it will cost. let's get the details from norman smith. i hope we can get norman to you. good morning, norman dot in westminster, as ever. what more i were expecting the home secretary to say in terms of the real detail? i think what we will get from the home secretary is a promise that this will be an easy—to—use, simple, straightforward application process which will be able to be completed online. it will be processed within a couple of weeks and is likely to cost about the same as a passport, around £72 50. the d

the design and manufacture wings for aircraft in the uk, employing around 14,000 aircraft in the uk, employing around 1a,000 people across 25 sites. they say their activity in the uk adds more than £7.8 billion to the economy. its main sites are in broughton, north wales; newport, south wales; bristol and portsmouth. former welsh secretary stephen crabb, conservative mp for preseli pembrokeshire, called to an end of the ‘ideological cage fight‘ over brexit and said a ‘coherent strategy‘ was needed from government. keir whiel shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer said the government‘s red lines need to be abandoned to protect british industry. nigel farage said they were lobbying for their own interests. andrew plant reports. it employs around 1a,000 people at 25 sites across the uk, making wings for passenger planes. now, in what they‘ve called a brexit risk assessment airbus said if the uk left next march without a deal it would lead to severe disruption and interruption of its uk production. put simply, it said, it would force the company to reconsider its business

more uk focused. so the shares would never go back to that amount? more uk focused. so the shares would never go back to that amount7m they did, it would take significant time. with a 70% stake the government had had, governments tend to bea government had had, governments tend to be a stultifying influence on businesses and they are not in the businesses and they are not in the business of running banks in particular. i think they are taking this on the chin on the basis they will get some proceeds back, but ultimately they are likely to sell the whole lot at a loss. for now, richard, thank you. a couple of stories to talk about later. still to come... the growing trend for fine teas — forget your builder's brew, we'll ask the owner of one of the fastest—growing luxury tea brands in the world why cuppas are going classy. you're with business live from bbc news. we cannot promise the opera singer later, but stay with us! i have to say that i love a good cup of tea, it is my favourite drink. i have

this is one of the hottest areas of the uk. contrast that with here in chichester in west sussex where we have got blue skies that temperature is not so high. started off with some cloud, there is fair weather play developing in the south—east, not bringing any rain. we have got an easterly breeze across southern we have got an easterly breeze across southern areas. we have got an easterly breeze across southern areas. there is a nice breeze across the south at the moment. it means the higher temperatures are getting forced further west and further north across the uk. we will get temperatures peaking at around 31, 32 around glasgow and across the western side of northern ireland, about 30 degrees. already got up to 32 in the north—west of wales, and the highest temperatures are in the north—west. particularly hot around the lake district. a lovely end to the lake district. a lovely end to the day and overnight there is much more cloud coming in. with that breeze, that cloud will go further inland not just across breeze,

the uk space industry is worth nearly 15 billion annually to uk plc. it has over 40,000 direct employees and 1,400 apprentices. so what discussions has the minister had with industry stakeholders about the impact of the uk dropping out of galileo? i can assure the honourable lady the secretary of state has had numerous meetings on this issue and i have personally taken up this issue with every single counterpart that i have met who are members of the european union over the past few months, including yesterday, when i met with the junior defence minister from poland. this issue has been communicated very strongly by the defence department to our counterparts. we are disappointed that as yet we have not secured the agreement that we need. can i stress that the agreement that we need is an agreement that would be good for europe, it would be good for the security of europe and it would be good for the security of the united kingdom. and i state again that the united kingdom in leaving the european union has made it very clear that we are not leaving our

yesterday, airbus said it would reconsider its future in the uk if there is no deal. bmw called for more clarity. and today, there was this reaction to borisjohnson‘s call for a full british brexit. it is time to get away from slogans for british brexit going into combat with europe. it is incredibly unhelpful and what we need to do now is to get closer with our european partners and work out what a realistic, pragmatic brexit is. the foreign secretary says the government needs to get on with it and avoid a deal that is soft, yielding and infinitely long. others say to get that the pm must be prepared to walk away if she does not get the right deal. the prime minister has always said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that no deal would be better than a bad deal. i think it is essential that, as we enter the next phase of the negotiations, that european union understands that and believes it. labour say no deal would be the height of irresponsibility and as campaigners gather, they say the electorate should make the final decision. a reminder, if

arriving in brussels, the uk prime minister admitted that both the uk and eu want to work towards a future brexit deal "at a faster pace" than previously. i look forward to talking with fellow leaders about the very good progress we have made on the withdrawal agreement and looking forward to securing our strong future partnership which i believe is in the interests of both of the eu and the uk. i think both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have until now, and we would welcome that. not that brexit is dominating. the focus is nearly entirely on migration. so far this year, 44 thousand people have crossed the mediterranean, it's a tiny fraction of those who applied for asylum in 2015/16. (jane) but today there's a new populist government in italy but today there's new populist government in italy that's refusing to take any more. and in berlin enormous pressure on the chancellor to reduce the numbers that are crossing the german border. speaking to the german parliament this morning, ahead of coming to brussels, was an emotional angela merkel. translation: europ

uk. our business correspondent, emma simpson is here. this was pretty much expected, what happens now? it was expected, but still a make or break moment for house of fraser. they made a dramatic announcement a few weeks ago that this i69—year—old chain was going to shut 3i ago that this i69—year—old chain was going to shut 31 of its 51 stores and big rent cuts on others. this would put 6000 jobs on the line. the thing is, they need to get approval from their unsecured creditors for that deal to go ahead, through a process known as a cva, a company volu nta ry process known as a cva, a company voluntary arrangement. the deal was worth landlords, they needed 75% of the votes to go through, and that is what they have got. that now means that the rescue plan will go ahead. a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobs. a pretty brutal rescue plan. it involves the loss of 6000 jobsm is. very dramatic. but the alternative was a business that was on the brink of collapse

that makes the uk are warehouses, etc. that makes the uk a re less warehouses, etc. that makes the uk are less competitive place to do business. when we have discussions about where will we build our wing of the future, we have to consider whether the uk is the right place to do it. this is a ratcheting up of the rhetoric. it also echoes what i am hearing from other manufacturers. i spoke to the boss of bmw in the uk. he said, similarly, we need clarity over the next few weeks, otherwise we will have to start stocking parts. millions of components coming from all over europe, they are assembled here, then exported around the world. if you throw sand in the engine such as delays at the border that can impact business negatively. what happens next? the government is saying it is not our intention to crash out of the eu without a deal. that's not the eu without a deal. that's not the direction of travel. we don't wa nt the direction of travel. we don't want that, brussels doesn't want that, we are making efforts to get a deal done. don't worry. but what happens next is

here in the uk. it will be warm as well. a little higher than this today and then they will be gradually creeping up as the strong sunshine and high—pressure weather continues. it was rather chilly yesterday but that cold air is moving away and we will see things gradually warming up over the next day or so. last night was pretty chilly, temperatures in the three or 4 degrees in some rural parts of england and wales but they are now responding to strong sunshine. we will see some very high levels of pollen too, yael selfin england and wales in particular, but more cloud in the north and west, when slighter than yesterday, so it will feel warmer, but the cloud given a few spots of drizzle in the north, the temperature is held at about 12 or 13, but for most of us they will be a degree up on yesterday. that process continues, not by night of course. we will see clearing skies again and it will turn reasonably chilly, considering how strong the sunshine has been through the day. again, more cloud for

the uk is taking a different angle however, it is looking for a uk wide solution. let me clear, be very clear, our backstop cannot be extended to the whole uk. so what is going on here is that in private, the eu officials and diplomats they say that what was presented yesterday wasn't actually an alternative to the backstop as the uk said, it is something else. it isa the uk said, it is something else. it is a big proposal about future operations and customs. if you see michel barnier comments in that context, you see what he strained to do, which is focusing attention back on the idea that northern ireland is a special case and has to be treated separately from the rest of the uk and isn't about customs, its about northern ireland following lots of rules or the single market. not that isa rules or the single market. not that is a very tricky proposition for the uk, forall is a very tricky proposition for the uk, for all the reasons we have discussed. particularly politics and the conservative party and the dep which help prop up the government in westminster. so t

the eu has "thwarted" investment in the uk. but the government says the uk automotive industry remains one of the "great success stories" — and a whole host of companies have recently committed to investing billions in the sector. e—cigarettes should be allowed on nhs sites, thats according to a new report from the royal college of physicians. it also says nhs patients should be given help to stop smoking while they're in hospital. currently patients are admitted and discharged without being asked if they smoke and do not get advice on giving up. sally has got all of the sport for us. very exciting night. if it was a movie drama, the star of the show would be the video assistant referee. it was great. referee's don't always get everything right and sometimes even the decisions they make with var are not necessarily right. cristiano ronaldo missed a penalty, he was lucky to stay on the pitch. the first half was relatively straight—forward — and ricardo quaresma putting portugal ahead with a stunning strike. but for the r

cars sold in europe in 2017 was made in the uk. but first, a cross party group of mps has set out a blueprint to fund social care in england, and challenged the government to get on and implement it. the communities and health committees worked together on thejoint report. setting out their findings, the chair of the communities committee said they wanted the government and the opposition to accept them. clive betts said with demand for services growing and funding cuts, social care was under, "unsustainable strain" with a £2.5 billion funding gap. leading to people going without the they need, those getting the care not getting sufficient care in terms of time or quality, leading to unpaid carers having to step into the breach, and placing significant pressures on care providers and the care workforce. a witness to the inquiry, andrew dilot, told us the system was consequently now at risk of "fairly significant disaster", very strong words indeed. and clive betts said the committee had concluded that billions of pounds of extra f

but how to do it without going back to a hard border between the uk and ireland? that could undermine the delicate northern ireland peace deal. brexit supporters want britain to regain control of its borders. but that's seemingly incompatible with the european union single market, which allows the free movement of goods, services, money and people within the eu. so big internationalfirms in the uk want to know — what sort of arrangement will replace it? the likes of airbus, bmw, siemens and nissan have all been warning of catastrophe for their businesses if trade barriers go up. well, after a meeting that went over by six hours, theresa may said she's been fighting for a fair deal for the uk's exit from the eu. on brexit i have been stressing that we wa nt on brexit i have been stressing that we want a deal that will work for the uk and for our european partners. and if we work together we can support each other‘s ‘s prosperity and security. we will publish a white paper shortly and i wa nt to publish a white paper shortly and i want to see the negotiations

i talked about high pressure moving in across the uk, and here it is. although at the start of the weekend, eagle eyes will notice this weather system moving on through northern scotland. so of course, that's going to bring more breeze, more cloud here, and the further north you are into the northern isles, some outbreaks of rain on saturday. and there'll be some high cloud elsewhere, so not necessarily clear blue sky. the sun will be hazy at times. nevertheless, temperatures will have risen a little bit more, particularly into parts of england and wales. and then for part two of the weekend, on sunday, early rain clears away from shetland, and then it is largely sunny all the way. dry, very light winds, and widely on sunday, temperatures will be into the low 20s. and again into next week, with high pressure sticking around, along with the sunshine, the temperatures are edging up a bit further, more into the mid—20s. but yes, some as the heat builds will see that temperature reaching into the upper 20s, to near 30 celsius. that's your latest forecast.

large parts of the uk will be dry. best of the sunshine, south—west scotland, north—west england, and later in the south—east of england. those storms in the north will tend to fade away, most of the showers in england and wales fading away, too. but a fair bit of low cloud coming into eastern scotland and eastern england overnight, and a chillier night, actually, across eastern scotland and north—east england. quite a grey start here, as well. a lot of that low cloud, misty weather, will tend to burn off. we'll see sunny spells developing more widely. quite a grey start here as well. a lot of that low cloud, misty weather, will tend to burn. we'll see sunny spells developing more widely. very few showers on saturday, the bulk of them are going to be in scotland, and these again will be heavy and thundery. not moving at all, so if you catch one, you will know about it. but it seems to be all or nothing again, and most places will have a dry day. now, we've got very little wind to stir things up at all, or to mo

temporary alignment for the whole of the uk with the eu customs union. the problem is how long would it last? this is why we have seen all this coming and going and toing and froing, david davis and toing and froing, david davis and others not happy with the idea could be time limited because they wa nted could be time limited because they wanted a specific end date. what this note says is the uk expects a future arrangement, in other words a future arrangement, in other words a future free trade arrangement which will get rid of this to be in place by the end of december 20 2i. will get rid of this to be in place by the end of december 20 21. so if this starts on december 2020 at the end of the transition period, stick with me here, for another year this temporary customs arrangement would stay in place but it does not make december 2021 a hard cut off so there will be those that say hang on, if we get to september 2021 and not agreed a future free—trade agreement does it keep dragging on? that is what a lot of brexiteer spear, that it's a back door i

parades will be hosted across the uk. it is held on the last saturday ofjune and commemorates the service and sacrifice of britain's military. the defence secretary gavin williamson said government is committed to increasing defence spending. we are committed, every year the government has said extra money will be spent on defence. also what we have seen is just this year the government commit to an extra £800 million of spending for the armed forces and this an unprecedented increase in spending that few departments had been able to benefit from outside a fiscal event such as a budget or spending review. it underlines the government's commitment to the armed forces and as we look around the globe, britain is not stepping back, but very much stepping up with naval ships of the pacific, the royal navy was the first navy to start to enforce sanctions against north korea. actually making sure what the un and united nations had said that needed to happen, we were delivering on it. we have seen troops serving and ensuring afg

they all want to be able to export to the uk still. the reason why britain want some kind of goods single market is because europe does more trade with europe includes. with all the tension is going on, something will have to change because britain is leaving next march and that is a fa ct. leaving next march and that is a fact. it now falls to the british government and theresa may to get the party together. it seems she may be leaning towards a soft brexit and thatis be leaning towards a soft brexit and that is why the european union gave them a soft ride at the summit could they can see her leaning towards a soft brexit. i do not understand how people are so alive to the divisions on the uk side and wilfully blind to the presence of diverging interests in the eu. this is a ridiculous thing to say. you know it is. one comment from you and one comment from you. as you had conceded that there were divisions internally in there were divisions internally in the tory party, i had considered great if you had chosen to listen rather than wa

, but the relative damage to the uk, but the relative damage to the uk would be greater than the eu. if we got workplace place where we do not get to an agreement, everybody loses. was it the will of the people who voted to leave that britain do so without a deal? do you really think that the people who voted to leave all that was a possible scenario? these issues were all brought out in the referendum campaign and, indeed, much of the remain campaign was premised on the fa ct remain campaign was premised on the fact there would be no deal, that there would be an instant recession because of the implications that might rise from it. to then say people did not know, campaign fear, during the referendum campaign, made absolutely clear what might happen to the united kingdom if the people had the temerity to vote for brexit. they still voted for brexit because they had a good understanding of the interests and in particular the long—term interests of the united kingdom, and we must remember, this isa kingdom, and we must remember, this is a decision for decades to come. that decision

uk businesses increasingly demands answers to what the brexit deal will look like. but is the government ready to tell? and move over, pizza and chips. in china, the snack of choice during this year's world cup viewing is anything but foul. and on the markets, asian markets are fluctuating as trade war fears torment investors. but energy firms rally after a surge in oil prices. influential eu states such as germany, france, and spain will block any attempt by the uk to remain within the single market for goods without freedom of movement, the spanish foreign ministerjosep borrell said on tuesday. the comment came as eu leaders are about to hold a summit in brussels starting thursday. and some uk businesses have sounded warnings about the disruption and damage they say brexit will cause. for business the biggest concerns over the future of trading relationship worth more than $733bn last year are how that will continue without any kind of trade deal or customs union. a key part of that is the irish border over which $3.5 billion of trade is conducted. the uk's northe

is the secretary of state still confident that the uk can get a better deal after the uk have left the eu than they could with the european union? does he agree with me that that if the us continues to act like a rogue state, we may reach a point where it needs to be suspended from the g7? even for a member of his party referring to the united states as a rogue state, i think mr speaker gives pause for thought. steelworkers in steel communities did not wave the white flag to defend our shared values over the last 100 years. given into this, the only language that trump understands is people fighting back. it's about time this country fought back. we can do it, golf! he likes golf, let's have some golf tariffs on golf owners in scotland, let's bring them immediately and stand up for our steel communities and steelworkers, instead of this stuff about how we can do nothing about it! fight him! there are two interesting points to that tirade of nonsense. first of all, we do not have the legal authority in the united kingdom on our own, because the european union is responsible for this on

june has been exceptionally dry across many parts of the uk. we had the heat and sunshine for and wait. for the first day ofjuly, there will probably be more of the same. in the south west we have the chance of picking up a few thundery downpours. here, we will be closest to this developing area of cloud rotating around an area of low pressure and that high —based cloud is drifting towards the south—west. the wind direction ahead of that looks slightly different tomorrow, south—easterly, still the heat from the continent, but also more humidity in the south, and with that and that cloud we eventually will get some storm. notjust yet. 0vernight would probably be dry, clear skies for the most part, cloud approaching the northwest and perhaps by the morning a few storms approaching the channel islands hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: it's emerged that the environment secretary, michael gove, tore up a report on theresa may's preferred option for a new customs relationship with the eu. he was said to be "livid" when presented with the

we can speak to professor anand menon, director of uk in a changing europe. thank you for being with us this morning. what has changed if anything towards public attitudes towards brexit? what opinion polling shows is there has been a very small shift towards people thinking that we should not have voted to leave but it is a marginal think. what the polling also shows is the shift happens largely because people who did not or could not vote now say they would vote remain, there has been little switching from leave two remaining macro or by sports and the bottom line is the guide remains divided down the middle. and in terms of the practicalities, we are two years terms of the practicalities, we are two yea rs into terms of the practicalities, we are two years into the three year process but is clearly becoming a much longer process than perhaps supporters of brexit originally hoped it would be. i don't think it was ever going to be easy. leaving a 40 was ever going to be easy. leaving a a0 year relationship with an organisation as complicated as the eu was al

the uk director's colour burst into fla m es fire. the uk director's colour burst into flames in california. you don't wa nt to into flames in california. you don't want to famous man's car burning. are you a tesla fan? i have been inside one. it is like a spaceship. they are a great toy and i hope they succeed for what they are trying to do. there is no bad news. if you we re do. there is no bad news. if you were going to buy one, you are still going to buy one. how many vw cars catch fire? we don't know! thank you so much for being in this morning. thank you for your company, i will see you very soon. goodbye. well, after a fairly cloudy weekend, some of us will be waking up to some decent sunshine first thing on monday morning, but not absolutely everywhere. and as far as the weather goes for the week ahead, well, it looks like summer is going to return to southern and central part of the uk. certainly warming up by tuesday and wednesday. the north, however, unsettled with some rain. now, this is what's happening right now. there's

no, we had a brief word about his visit to the uk, how much he's looking forward to it, andi uk, how much he's looking forward to it, and i look forward to welcoming him. on trade, as i say, we have agreed some steps forward that we will be taking collectively. it is important, as we look at the framework for trade around the world, and the bdo, we all recognise that some reform is needed in that. —— the that some reform is needed in that. -- the wto. that some reform is needed in that. —— the wto. reform is needed in their processes, especially on dispute resolution, which takes a long time, but also to make sure it is providing the framework for the economies of the future. thank you. she said this meeting should have been done ten or 25 years ago. . . his own people at heart. what was interesting, intriguing was he was asked how he would judge success or failure and he said he would be able tojudge it within failure and he said he would be able to judge it within the first minute, actually he said if you meet someone for the first time you can usually judge whether you are

airbus employs about ili,000 people at 25 different sites in the uk. the house of fraser rescue plan faces a vote this morning — creditors will be voting on a company voluntary arrangement proposed by management. the department store chain wants to shut 31 of its 59 shops and impose huge rent cuts on ten others that it intends to keep. the european union has introduced retaliatory tariffs on us goods as a top official launched a fresh attack on president donald trump‘s trade policy. the duties on £2.1i billion worth of us goods came into force today. tariffs have been imposed on products such as bourbon whiskey, motorcycles and orange juice. the uk maritime industry is concerned that they will be facing a growing shortage of skilled workers in the vital maritime sector despite forecasts that the global ocean economy is set to double in the next 12 years. they want the government to raise public awareness of the industry and encourage students to think aboutjobs in the merchant navy, royal navy, fishing fleets, ferries, cruise ships, workboats, por

they would not be able to crash the uk out. the government is not able to legislatively, at least, crash out with parliament agreeing in the affirmative agreeing to leave without a deal. so this is the big difference. when i speak to eu foreign ministers and heads of government, people are getting that because of the parliamentary arithmetic of the parliament in the uk, although you are negotiating with the uk government, they currently have a negotiating position for which they don't know they have supported our parliament and that makes it difficult for our european partners. you said if we don't crash out, you accept the deal or remain. isn't that the crux of the issue? you just want to stop brexit. i've been absolutely honest about that. i would love to stop brexit. but you voted for article 50, which triggered the process... i shall explain why. i'm really clear. people think this is some revelation. of course i want to stop brexit. people voted for brexit. i don't get to decide. it's not a dictatorship. it's about the peo

airbus has warned it could leave the uk in the event of a "no—deal brexit." the uk in the event of a "no—deal the aerospace company currently employs more than 111,000 people across 25 sites in the uk. ben is here with more. ben, what's going on? 14,000, to the five sites. 100,000 in the supply chain. —— 25 sites. the concern is what happens to those jobs. this is about the uncertainty related to brexit, staying in the customs union. they have said there is no certainty so we are making contingency plans. that involves stockpiling certain components to make sure they have enough to supply customers. in the longer term, they are looking at options. that could be moving production to china. we know they build aircraft wings at pla nts know they build aircraft wings at plants in britain. wales, bristol, and so on. they did this three weeks ago, saying they have to make contingency plans. it is related to the idea of the customs union, uncertainty around customs checks, safety, and that kind of thing. they are concerned without that it could increase costs by as much as £1 billion

there's also broad agreement on the rights after brexit of eu citizens here in the uk, and uk citizens elsewhere in europe. but it could take years to set such a system up. the eu is sceptical about whether it will work, anyway, and supporters of brexit see this as a trap to keep the uk locked into the eu system. so the second proposal is for a highly streamlined customs arrangement. it's no secret that the future of the irish border between northern ireland and the republic is proving to be a massive challenge in the brexit negotiations, and that talk of no deal is making a lot of people nervous. but it's notjust in the uk that this really matters, because the republic of ireland is hugely dependent on trade with the united kingdom for its economic well—being. you only need to look at the map to understand why. well, chris morrisjoins me now. welcome to newswatch. there is a lot of talk about deadlines and crunch points, but danny dyer seemed to speak for many on good evening britain when he said brexit is a mad riddle — no—one knows what it is. as the correspondent tasked with

but just around the continues to move in across the uk. butjust around the top of it you can see a weak weather system heading on through. still, that will produce a bit of rain on saturday the northern scotland, especially the northern scotland, especially the further north you are, and the northern isles will get some heavy burst that times with brisk breeze. elsewhere some dry weather, but some higher cloud. it will be hazy at times and those temperatures edging up. looking at the picture for sunday, at this stage all of us are dry. maybe some early rain in shetland, clearing away. plenty of sunshine to come in at this stage temperatures are widely into the low 20s. and we will increase those temperatures again in the next week. getting into the low to mid—20s, and the possibility of getting close to 30 celsius, especially across parts of england. that is your forecast.

and after the uk at least, there'll be 27 of them. but you can'tjust the uk at least, there'll be 27 of them. but you can't just walk out them. but you can't just walk out the door, there are lots of loose ends to be tied up, and that's what they're doing now. they're having negotiations and talks about how to tie up those loose ends. once those talks are finished, we will have another set of discussions about what the future relationship between the eu and the uk will look like well after brexit. so brexit isjust the name of the process and everything that entails. how will it affect my life and everybody else's? barry blackley. let adam do it. the easy answer is it depends, because it depends on what you do in your life and what job you do, where you go, what you want to do in the future. and also depends on what it is actually agreed by the two sides, andl is actually agreed by the two sides, and i along well. the main thing is that it looks like there might a transition period. so after march of next year when the uk officially le

it is a legal first for such a crime committed outside the uk. she would call me to say she needed money. she doesn't know if i have enough to eat. she does not care about me. she only wants money, money. at least five people have been killed and others are seriously injured after a gunman opened fire at a local newspaper in annapolis, maryland. those fatalities are so sad, and i don't know what to say other than our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families, our thoughts and prayers are with them and theirfamilies, and we take comfort knowing they are in god's embrace. late—night talks are continuing at the eu summit in brussels,

large parts of the uk will be dry. best of the sunshine, south—west scotland, north—west england, and later in the south—east of england. those storms in the north will tend to fade away, most of the showers in england and wales fading away, too. but a fair bit of low cloud coming into eastern scotland and eastern england overnight, and a chillier night, actually, across eastern scotland and north—east england. quite a grey start here, as well. a lot of that low cloud, misty weather, will tend to burn off. we'll see sunny spells developing more widely. very few showers on saturday, the bulk of them are going to be in scotland, and these again will be heavy and thundery. not moving at all, so if you catch one, you will know about it. but it seems to be all or nothing again, and most places will have a dry day. now, we've got very little wind to stir things up at all, or to move things around. this lower pressure towards biscay threatens to bring some thunderstorms our way. at the moment, it looks like on sunday

number two, that you live in the uk, prove that you actually live in the uk. and number three that you have no serious criminal convictions. we'll have more details of the scheme and also we'll be looking at what this means for the 900,000 british citizens living abroad in the european union. the other main stories on bbc news at 5:00... the health secretary says lessons must be learned from the gosport war memorial hospital scandal, as relatives of the victims call for a criminal investigation. interest rates are kept on hold but there's speculation they could rise later in the summer. a report finds that the racist murder of an iraqi asylum seeker could have been avoided. president trump vows to stay tough on immigration after his u—turn on separating migrant children from theirfamilies. and with nine months to go until the uk leaves the european union, we'll take a special look at how brexit is affecting young people. eu citizens who want to stay in the uk after brexit have been promised there will be a simple process to confirm their status. the home sec

windy story really the northern part of the uk first thing tomorrow. so the biggest thing to take from this is if you have travel plans they are likely to be impacted. we could see wind of up to 60, 70 be impacted. we could see wind of up to 60,70 miles an hour be impacted. we could see wind of up to 60, 70 miles an hour especially around the coast and higher ground. but widely nifty five, 60 miles an hour so if you're heading anywhere, bbc local radio is a good first port of call for all the details were you are. further south, comparatively quiet but it will be a windy story still especially along coastal areas and some higher ground. up to 50 miles an hour there. but as the day goes on the wind will start to taper off. but remaining quite windy across scotland until late on in the day. still some heavier rain around in the morning and a lot more in the way of sunshine by the afternoon. to the south temperatures still faring reasonably well into the low 20s. for friday five relief as it is a much quieter day once again. those showers for the west of
