the secretary of state and the european union? prime minister may: we'll have a different arrangement for the negotiations. i think most likely it would be led by the secretary of state. if i can can just explain obviously the next stage of negotiations, phase two of negotiations, includes wide range of issues. of course it would be necessary to be able to draw cross expertise from a cross government on all matters that were involved. for example, one element that will be security aspects. obviously making sure that those who are expert, part of those negotiations will be important. >> what would be your role or role of your successor if that's what happens in the negotiations? how would that be habbled? prime minister may: the secretary of state would operate according to policies set by the government. there would be not just a role for that individual and the rolls, but roll for the cabinet. >> is the government ready for negotiations? i ask because the discriminate -- secretary of state announced mon-b a month ago the governme

union is always going to be struggling with so the way forward for the european union is i think that it does need to do a much better job of explaining what the tremendous achievements are like the single market as we've still from the referendum here nobody really knows the difference between the single market or the customs union and it has to reach it has to invest more in issues of the future and in particular research and development. because europe can become an open air museum of the world or we'll have to see if and how it manages that to reform with this next parliament next a few years thank you very much taller gets me to shake tony travers and thorsten a banner and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me barbara sarah and the whole team here by from. everywhere it's a devastating impact on. friday's explore some
