liker may: to make a statement on the conclusion of our negotiations to leave the european union. brussels, i read should deal with the leaders of the other 27 eu member states. it will ensure our departure on the 29th of march next year. there is a political declaration unambitious future partnership on national interest. it is the right deal for britain because it is for the british people. it takes back control of our borders. it ends the free movement of people allowing the government to introduce a new skills-based immigration system. it takes back control of our laws. it ends the jurisdiction justice in the u.k. madead, our laws will be in our parliament and enforced by our court. it takes back control of our money. it ends the payments we sent to brussels. instead, we could spend taxpayer money on our own priorities, including the 394 million pounds intok of extra investment long-term plans for the national health service. like creating a new free trade , fees,th no tariffs charges, restrictions, or rules of origins, it will protect jobs, including those that will allow integrated s

the uk's exit from the european union. approved byl be british parliament. the vote is expected next month. theresa may took questions on the brexit negotiations, as well as issues like rising crime rates and the national health service. this is 45 minutes.

whether or not to stay in the european union in 2016. the press people voted. they voted to leave and this the best endeavors used in relation to this matter to ensure the future relationship is in place. as i said earlier we are going to be negotiating further details in relation to that future relationship and the determination of both sides expressed in these documents that future relationship should be capable of being put into place at the end of the transition period. >> the prime minister made indemnified statement in all circumstances but when people read hundreds of pages of euro speak they will realize we have been sold out by our negotiators who allow the eu to take the needs. will she -- and my coworker sold out absolutely. >> i do not agree with her in relation to the suggestion that in some sense the european union has given nothing to the uk during these negotiations. these have been tough negotiations. the eu has been clear for some time that the choice was binary between the norway model and canada model, they accepted that is not the case and there's an agreement for

>>> after approval from the european union of the withdrawal agreement between minister theresa may reported back to the house of commons during this one-hour portion several members even from her own conservative party openly expressed that they would not vote for the final brexit deal set forth for september 2018. the party would oppose the deal calling it the worst of all worlds.rd the special counsel i've reached a deal with the leaders of the withdrawal agreement for the departure from the 29th of march next year and the political declaration of the future partnership that had been our national interest. it delivers on the democratic position of the people and takes back control of the borders t ad ends the movement to once and for all and allowing the government a new skills-based immigration system it takes back control of the ball and the jurisdiction of the uk and are they being made in the parliament and forced to take back control so we can spend taxpayers money including the 394 million pounds of extra investment in the long-term plan for the national health service. by

to her breaks a draft agreement reached with the european union tomorrow she will try to do the same in parliament if her government can last that long tonight theresa may as british prime minister will break sit soon mean her exit and what about that agreement is it a done deal or a dead deal i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. we have seen very clear that there will be a meaningful very serious house. breach is the prime minister's own red lines lisa is just a part as well as you could possibly be we oppose it being the promotional material will be amendable. anyway even though they haven't prepared seriously for the new deal and what you call these golden u.k. remaining we did in the customs union forever and a day so does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between a bunch deal or no jail now with making progress and close to a deal is going to end. it is that both sides of the house before he sees it must be heard but i think if you went out and off any member of the public when the government brings a deal back from europe what do you

the country who voted to leave the european union voted to bring an end to free movement. they voted to bring an end of .he european court of justice our deal ends that. they voted to stop sending vast sums of money to the european union every year so we could spend that money on our priorities, and we will be able to do that. priorities like the national health sflts. but the european union remains a close trading partner to the unite the kingdom. as we leave, we want to ensure we have a good trading relationship with the european union, and we will be able to have an independent trade policy that enables us to make decisions to trade around the rest of the world. my honorable friend is a passionate champion of the united kingdom, but he is also a passionate champion of the links that the united kingdom has around many ports of the world, including the common wolters, which can be enhanced when we leave the european union. >> thank you, mr. speaker, and i think you for welcoming our guest to parliament today. on the 100th anniversary of the qualification of women's act, i join

leader noted their opposition. some argued for a second referendum on the u.k. leaving the european union. this is a 90-minute portion of the debate. >> order! statements. he prime minister. prime minister may: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. with permission i'd like to update the house on negotiations to leave the european union. first -- first, i want to pay tribute to my right honorable friend, the members. delivering brexit difficult choices. i respect their views and i'd like to thank them sincerely for all that they have done. mr. speaker, yesterday we agreed the provisional terms of our exit from the european union set out in the draft withdrawal agreement. we had an outlined political declaration. the president has written to the president of the european council to recommend decisive progress has been made in the negotiations. a special european council will be called for sunday, the 25th of november. this puts us close to a brexit deal. mr. speaker, what we agreed esterday was not the final deal. it is a draft treaty that means we will leave the e.u. in smooth and orderly way on ma

clearfrom the european union and was made clear at the weekend is that this is the deal that is being negotiated, this is the deal that people need to focus on when they are looking at the boat. 0k. the chancellor also said yesterday there will be a cost to leading the european union because there will be an impediment to trade, he he he is right, isn't he? the question, when this is often put in a brightly of ways, what will happen then we leave the european union, analysis that has been provided by the bank of england, short—term analysis, of what would happen in a new deal scenario, the government and analysis that was provided to parliament sets out a number of potential, it looks at different comparisons, no deal, the government's white paper, eea, average freight free trade agreement, thought that looks at is the impact of trade... agreement, thought that looks at is the impact of trade. .. we've all read that, one thing surely that is clear from that is no deal is no longer better than a badly, that will be the worst outcome of all. that depends what a bad deal looks at, i su

sovereignty has not and will not change. and to be ensure we leave the european union next l year to protect the life of the citizens living in the uk so they can carry on living their lives as before with that time-limited implementation. to give time to prepare for the new arrangement trade will continue on current terms but this only has to face one set of changes and with the financial obligations less than half theob sum what originally expected or demanded in those commitments to ensure with the border on the irish sea in the event of a future relationship is f not ready by the end of the implementation. some numbers remain concerned with this backstop so let me address this directly the insurance policy nobody wants to use that the uk with the future relationship in place and to avoid that backstop if it is not ready by the end of 2020 we would not use that backstop but with a short extension to the implementation. and that it should be temporary and then to provide for a permanent relationship. to form that relationship or the alternative arrangement that has an arrangement o

finalize an agreement on the u.k.'s exit from the european union theresa may is due to meet european commission president. as she tries to shore up support ahead of an e.u. summit this sunday mrs may is under pressure to return to the u.k. with a final gregg's a deal that her parliament can agree to she's facing heavy criticism at home from progress and pro e.u. lawmakers last week two of her senior ministers resigned over the draft for a draw. all deal she had negotiated with the european union and the following turmoil almost led to a leadership challenge the prime minister's the prime minister's critics accuse her of giving in to the e.u. and of negotiating a deal that is bad for great britain well however during prime minister's questions in the u.k. parliament the prime minister argues that the case for the kitten argued the case that the situation is the exact opposite of the package of the deal that we will be to we are negotiating with the european union has two parts to it this is leave in part which is the withdrawal agreement on this a future relationship which is what is

european union. this is 45 minutes. [applause] order. questions to the prime minister. mr. andrew. >> question one, mr. speaker. >> thank you, mr. speaker. today is the centenary of the qualification of the women's act, where women were first allowed to stand public office. i am delighted that the first woman to take her seat in the house of commons was a conservative. women are coming from all over the u.k., with every party extending invitations to their constituents. this will be an inspirational day and we hope it will encourage many other women to stand for office, both locally and nationally. it is appropriate that we are reminded of the significant contribution made to this house by female m.p.'s. i have had meetings with ministerial colleagues, and in addition to my duty, i will have further such meetings later today. >> the prime minister will know that what drives politics has always been a love of country. and a passionate belief in our united kingdom. so i have to tell the prime minister that i agree with the people who are deeply unhappy by the proposed e.u. deal, whi

elected the institution in the european union the european parliament if the european union is not sufficiently democratic i agree but this is not especially the european parliament the other way around this is the only directly elected institution in the european therefore this is completely mons but the elections that brought you to the presidency twice these were decided behind closed doors were there was an election it was decided beforehand who was going to win i had to run in the parliament that i had to to get the majority in the bottom in twenty twenty fourteen want to leave it behind closed doors you know in twenty fourteen you actually become a president of the parliament you must run in the parliament and you must guy jerry i understand that and you both got the majority of the parliamentarians how can you say this was behind closed doors but but wasn't open elections an open vote with a lot of overwhelming majority but in twenty fourteen you actually point to the post was announced by gabrielle the vice chancellor a full eleven days before the so-called vote was in that

. the withdrawal agreement is about how we leave the european union, the divorce settlement if you like, the money we are going to pay, the rights of citizens and berdych people living abroad, and then you have the political decoration. —— the political decoration. we have seen the documents, it is over 550 pages long, very legal, it is all about how we come out of the european union, and the political declaration will not be a legal documents, it is much more aspirational, it is about what happens after the transitional period, what will our future relationship look like with the european union, and it is not as detailed, i think that is what concerns about odds of conservative mps, that they will be agreeing for the uk to hand over £39 billion worth of money to the european union with no clear idea of where we are going and what the future relationship will look like. the prime minister was saying that this week the focus will be on the political declaration and putting more substance into it, which i think she thinks will... lots of stumbling blocks, though, ahead, that could de

with spain on brexit, adding that spain has worked closely with the european union on gibraltar and once to ensure good dealfor the union on gibraltar and once to ensure good deal for the whole of the uk family. that question and a nswer the uk family. that question and answer session isjust the uk family. that question and answer session is just about to begin, here on the bbc news channel and on radio five live. the prime minister taking your questions. hello, welcome to this special edition here on bbc radio five live and on bbc news channel. the prime minister, theresa may, is with me in the studio to answer your calls, text messages and tweets. let me welcome the prime minister. it's very good to be with you this morning. it's black friday today, have you heard of any good deals? i haven't been to any sharps, so i haven't been buying anything. but i haven't been buying anything. but i have been in brussels negotiating, what i believe is a really good deal, the right dealfor the uk in terms of brexit. i think it delivers on what people voted for and brings an end to free movemen

european union that would be great i think to help glue this thing and have the u.n. help glue it and you know be you as to what happens in nuland he or she is named jake and christopher steele the former m i six agent these claims are being investigated by u.s. special counsel robert mueller into trump's ties to moscow during the ukraine crisis in two thousand and fourteen and fifteen chris still had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in russia what was going on in ukraine what was going on between them chris had a friend at the state department any offered us that reporting free so that we could also benefit from it it was one of you know hundreds of sources what else did this british spy offer what one does the dossier he passed two to four pages. short points of what he was finding and our immediate reaction to that was this is not in our purview this needs to go to the f.b.i. if there is any concern here that one candidate or the election as a whole might be influenced by the russian federation there you have it an obama era diplom

european union, brings an end to the european court having jurisdiction here in the uk. it delivers what people voted for and protectjobs and i think that is what people are looking forfrom the government. we will hear from the people very shortly. this morning, we've had one woman say she'd like to give you a hug, we've also had one woman say she'd like to give you a shake. you have divided people with this deal. first of all, i think, in a sense, there have been some really passionate arguments that people have had about this question of whether or not we should be in the european union. we saw that in the referendum campaign back in 2016. now is the point where, actually, the country needs to come together. let's get through this. for most people, theyjust want us to get on with it. they don't want to get on with a bad deal though. i believe this is the right deal for the uk because it does deliver for people, it delivers an end to free movement and all the other things i'vejust mentioned. it protects jobs and security. most people want to see us being able to move beyond this, t

, more on that, so that's the first problem. the european union is a set of norms. you know, you take off the norms, there is nothing, really, left of the european union. it's not a territory. it's not a nation. it's a set of norms that the member states have accepted. so, we can't change the norms which are the basis of the european union for the sake of the -- of the uk. so, we have always repeated to the uk, free trade agreement, free trade agreement, but nothing else considering your red lines. the second problem is, of course, the british are negotiating with themselves because there is a lot of disagreements between them. you know, really, it reminds me when, as a poor french diplomat, i was negotiating with the americans. the americans are first, what you call the intra-agency process, so you have this process, interagency, usually you are waiting the result of the process during three months and at the end, the americans are arriving with the result and they say, oh, please, don't touch it. don't negotiate it. you know, it was too tough to negotiate. the british are doing a bi

go ahead well allow me to say this i do not like the european union and i never have lights. but at the same time i don't like the press and i don't like the remain can why because both camps are two sides of the same coin they share the same politics the same economics and the same foreign policy objects and they are inherently and the russian and they support western global. however let me say this as a member of the parliamentary press gallery i have a front row seats so to speak and i can assure people watching the. sort of cross talk that brick sits is extraordinarily complicated it is not simple it is not black and white and anyone who says otherwise is not to be trusted to research my has struggled over two and a half years of premiership regrets it but no one should be under the illusion that if. or if someone from the conservative party very small johnson or dominant club was later it would be any more effective than teresa made britain is in unchartered waters and i would also say this peter that there are that brick city's room with risks and dangers one of them for examp

don't want to be in a position where the european union would find it comparable to keep the united kingdom and the backstop permanently and that is why any backstop has to be temporary. >> i think that non-answer confirms parliament won't have that problem. mister speaker, the international trade secretary breezily declared 40 trade deals ready to be signed the second after midnight when we leave the eu. with four months to go can the prime minister tell us exactly how many of these deals have been negotiated? >> we are doing two things. we are negotiating to ensure we maintain the trade deals that currently exist with the european union when we leave. >> it is not acceptable for members to shout at the prime minister when she into answering. we have been talking about respect and good behavior. on both sides the person who has the floor must be heard. that is the end of the matter. prime minister. >> we have been negotiating on two front, on the continuity agreement which ensures those trade deals as a member of the european union are able to continue when we leave the european un

one european union leader reminded his counterparts of exactly why they are spending the next day or two together. on this do it us is and these is the principle of the. comte we knew him region concluded that there is no alternative promoted up with the corporation. putting into place the smoke is not really because it isn't having in mind no will come do it by its own means it was in fact the basic reason which for that to put into place of the g twenty. speaking of there we have team coverage of the g twenty summit tonight in bonus r s d w's max hoffman is covering the european union angle for us and the w's business anchor how here our greatest is there as well and right here at the big table with me is our chief political correspondent melinda craned to all of you welcome x. let me start with you the world order is under threat now many say more than any other time since one thousand nine hundred five should we expect leaders gathering there to change that fact at this g twenty. well i assume you mean that the threat might go away or be diminished but if you look at who's her

have to be treated like the canadians. to the world european union. as with diplomats, they want to have their cake and eat it. so basically, they've been knocking at the door for one year trying really say, oh, we want to get more on that, more on that. that's the first problem. the european union is a set of norms. you know, you take off the n norms, there is nothing really left on the european union. a set of norms that the member states have accepted. so we can't change new norms. which are the basis of the european union for the sake of the uk. so we have also uk, free trade agreement, but nothing else. considering your red b lines. the second problem is of course the british aren't negotiating with themselves because a lot of disagreements between them. you know really, it reminds me as a poor french diplomat, i was negotiating with the americans. who you call the interagency process. so you have to process, usually, you're waiting to reserve to the process during three months and at the end, the americans are arriving with the reserve and they say, please don't touch it. it w

britain. i believe that if we were to go back to the european union and say people didn't like that deal, can we have another one, i don't think they are going to come to us and say we will give you a better deal. police say knocking offenders off their mopeds is leading to a dramatic decrease in robberies. the united arab emirates is considering a pardon for the british academic matthew hedges, jailed for life for alleged spying. there's a warning that too many people suffering a mental health crisis are not being given the help they need when they arrive at a&e now on bbc news, we can watch again the prime minister's special phone—in today here on the bbc news channel and radio 5 live. the prime minister was asked, among other things, if she'd stay in the leadership should parliament vote against her withdrawal agreement with the eu. mrs may was also questioned whether her deal was better than the one the uk currently has with the eu. here's that q—and—a session with the pm in full, in a special edition of ‘ask this.‘ hello, welcome to this special edition here on bbc ra

think very highly of the european union, as i call now. nile: absolutely. margaret thatcher as early as the urged britain to leave european union, so she was the first british politician to talk about brexit, actually. i'm sure if lady thatcher were alive today, she would be appalled with this latest proposal put forth by theresa may. dealis a very bad deal, a that is not have the support of the majority of my own party. you've already seen a series of resignations from the cabinet. margaret thatcher would have stood up to the european union. she would have negotiated a strong, tough, robust deal in the british national interest. the deal theresa may has is not in britain's interest. it shackles the cost to the european union indefinitely. it also allows for the continuation of thousands of eu rules and regulations to apply to great britain, and also the european court of justice continues to have a say. this is unacceptable. i think margaret thatcher would have negotiated an agreement for britain. david: with a window for sure is congresswoman thatcher was a very tough negotiator. t

extremely important also. the. updating of the customs union agreement is as important for. european member states as it is for turkey. otherwise putting political. handicaps in front of such progress is not to the benefit of i departed. as i said during the meeting. a number of. stops. aid provided to the to turkey such. actions do not. affect turkey but it is not good for the input the. consistency of e.u. . so the the puns there to turkey being stopped have prevented this needs to stop if we discuss these matters with our counterparts. both parties have expressed during the meeting their commitment to continue. michel. coming to the. trouble. out of the last over seven criteria left now it's been brought down to six we've discussed what needs to be done about those six criteria and it is our wish to complete those criteria and bring these are free trouble to life. god willing shortly. there are other issues that we are going to discuss steering the working lunch. iran iraq libya middle east peace process gulf situation and syria and other regional issues we have an alignment. stance. you

months of negotiations, european union leaders are meeting to decide whether to accept the terms of britain's withdrawal from the eu. the jointly agreed withdrawal agreement and declaration on the future relationship will outline the terms of britain's relationship with the eu for years to come — with negotiators now hoping they will be able to move on to the next stage of the brexit talks. we need to build for the next phase this unprecedented and ambitious partnership. we will remain allies, partnership. we will remain allies, partners and friends. if it's approved, the deal will face a much tougher vote in westminster. theresa may has written an open letter to the british public appealing for support. throughout the hour we'll be turning to our reality check correspondent for clarity on what exactly is in both agreements — and where we go from here. hello and welcome to brussels. european leaders are here for a special summit, to sign off on the deal that will see the united kingdom leave the european union. after months of intense negotiations, the two sides have reached agr

. i believe you when to go back to the european union and say how we have another one, i don't think they will come to us and say we will give you a better deal. i'm not thinking about me, i'm thinking about getting a deal that delivers for the people of this country. that's what drives me and that's what is at the forefront of my mind. we'll have the latest from westminster and brussels. the other main stories on bbc news at five... the united arab emirates considers a pardon for the british academic, jailed for life for spying. police say knocking offenders off their mopeds is leading to a dramatic decrease in robberies. your friend samantha has yourfriend samantha has perpetrated a cyber attack on the most important security agency in america. claire foy stars in the girl in the spider's web — we'll hear what mark kermode thought of that and the rest of this week's releases in the film review. theresa may has warned mps not to reject her her brexit deal, saying it would take britain back to square one. in a phone—in here on the bbc news channel and radio 5live, mrs may said th

may answered questions about brexit and the agreement reached with the european union about future relationships between britain and the eu. they will vote on the agreement december 11th. >> orderer. questions to the prime minister. rosie cooper. >> rosie: question number one mr. speaker. thank you mr. speaker, i'm sure the whole house would like to join me in paying tribute to baroness trumpington who sadly passed way yesterday. from her time as a codebreaker during the second world war. her government and public service she led an extraordinary life and she will be sorely missed. mr. speaker this morning i am meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. in addition to duties in this house i shall discuss such meetings today. >> rosie: mr. speaker i'm sure the whole house would like to hear the prime minister's remarks. long waits for already full trains don't arrive on time, and whole day cancellations and even the cancellation of less trains leaving people stranded. there can be no more excuses. this northern rail fiasco began in may with communications issues and -- sorry t

take action. >> no one can question, to reach a deal with the european union, a deal many people thought was unachievable. despite the endeavors that concerns people have with an uncomfortable choice and i share those concerns. as the prime minister heads to scotland can i ask what guarantee can she give to those concerned about the future of the fishing industry, and that? >> can i say to my honorable friend he is absolutely right to save the issue of the fishing industry and our precious union. and indeed all my colleagues on the conservative, in relation to fishing, an independent coastal state, we will be able to negotiate access to our waters and ensuring fishing communities get a fair share of our waters. we will be determining the issue of access to our borders and firmly rejected the access to our borders. i say, in my statement, not be trading off the agreement against anything else in the future relationship and the support for the deal, confident in the support of the deal recognized by the scottish fishing presentation. >> jeremy corbin. >> i echo the prime minister's

need to consider the vote of the british people to leave the european union and our duty to deliver on that vote and they will be held to account to their constituents for the decisions they take. tom. >> thank you, prime minister. tom from the "sun." prime minister, if those confidence vote held in your leadership in the conservative party, do you think it is in the national interest for you to fight it? and if you win by only one vote, will you carry on as prime minister? prime minister may: leadership is about taking the right decisions, not the easy ones. as prime minister, my job is to bring back a deal that delivers on the vote of the british people, that does that by ending free movement, all the things i raised in my statement, ensuring we are not sending sums to the e.u. any longer, ending jurisdiction of the european court of justice but also protects jobs and propects people's livelihoods, protects our security, protects the union of the united kingdom. i believe this is a deal which does deliver that, which is in the national interest, and am i going to see this through? ye
