Another major hurricane is sweeping through the caribbean just a fortnight after Hurricane Irma devastated some of the islands. The latest category five storm hit the island of dominica overnight with winds of 160 miles per hour. The nations president said the devastation was mind boggling. He said rooves had been ripped off the homes of everyone he had managed to speak to including his own. The storm is now heading towards guadelope where theres a Communications Blackout and also the British Virgin islands. We will have a report from there in a moment. But first our correspondent jon donnison has the latest. A single hurricane is horrific enough. Maria is the fourth to hit the caribbean in less than two weeks. The French Island of guadeloupe, among the latest places to take a pounding. In nearby martinique, people found themselves overwhelmed by floodwaters. By daybreak they were waking up to see the damage. The island of dominica also suffered. This unverified video was posted online as the hurricane hit and the lights went out. The church roof has blown in. My neighbours roof, blown. Maria also hit the island of dominica, where even the Prime Minister wasnt spared, taken to social media to say that his roof had gone and his house was flooded. From space you can see the scale of the hurricane. It is now tracking north east towards the british territories of antigua and barbuda, anguilla and the virgin islands. In the Us Virgin Islands they havent begun rebuilding after being flattened by Hurricane Irma. Two weeks later they are bracing themselves again. There is not a leaf, every tree is bent. Buildings, houses, businesses, everything devastated. We have paradise but this is what we have to go through. Been here before, done it before and well do it again. It will stay fine, for one thing. 0n the island of saint thomas, Tristan Joseph already lost everything to irma. Now he must face another battering from Hurricane Maria. Yeah, thats what im preparing for now, again the double header. These caribbean communities are going to need help. The british governments Emergency Cobra Committee has met. With maria, they will be keen to avoid a repeat of the accusations that they were too slow to respond to Hurricane Irma. Hms 0cean, the navys largest ship, will arrive in the caribbean carrying aid this weekend. Its been more than a decade since an atlantic Hurricane Season as devastating as this one. But it could still have some way to run. The season does not officially end until november. Some of the islands in the path of Hurricane Maria have barely started cleaning up after the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Irma. 0ur correspondent jeremy cooke reports from the British Virgin islands which could be hit hard again tomorrow what is the latest . We are starting to get what they call the first feeder systems coming through the British Virgin islands here, which means we are getting a faint taste of what is to come. Rain and heavy winds. Then a period as quiet as we getting now. But all eyes here are to the south east, they know that Hurricane Maria is on the way. The big question as we look at the forecast is exactly what the course of the storm will be, because even a slight wobble one way or the other can make all the difference here. The best they can hope for is winds of 50 or 60 miles an hour. If you look at the destruction here, heavy rain will cause flooding. The worst Case Scenario rain will cause flooding. The worst Case Scenario is that a barrel straightjulie ireland s in the wa ke straightjulie ireland s in the wake of hurricane burma. That potentially could be catastrophic. We can see the clear up catastrophic. We can see the clear up operation but there is so much wreckage there, if you get those high winds, it will send that rested flying through the air. Thats exactly right. What you are seeing here is the last minute race against time as they try to do as much clear up time as they try to do as much clear up work on the island as they can. But they are running out of time. Just a few hours ago, across this area, the debris from Hurricane Irma is everywhere. Im talking about tonnes and tonnes of corrugated roofing sheets, splinters of wood, all the domestic contents of those dwellings as well, orjust lying around and it gets picked up by Hurricane Maria, every single piece of it because potentially a deadly missile. That is the greatest fear thatis missile. That is the greatest fear that is why there was a curfew here today, only a central workers allowed the streets. There has been allowed the streets. There has been a lot of controversy about the british relief efforts in islands like the British Virgin islands, what are people theyre saying about it now . Are they more satisfied with the help they are getting . it now . Are they more satisfied with the help they are getting . I would say they are more satisfied, they know it is a hugely challenging time further rehear. There are they have been taking aid to the most badly affected areas. They are doing what they can. Really, hms 0cean cannot be here soon enough. There will be three weeks by the time the media aid delivery arrived. There are 200 guys across several islands, they havent stretched. 0ne of the main positives is bringing a sense of security. After irma there was some looting, that was something that can be difficult for the people to live with. Now they feel more secure and really, they are hoping for the best here, hoping they can back down and get through the storm. But it wont take an event on the scale of the four do bring really much more trouble for this already devastating islands. Thank you. Lets speak now to janet charles, the high commissioner of dominica , whos monitoring events and is due to meet advisers later today. Thanks forjoining us. What is your view of the destruction already caused in domenico . It is devastating. Words cannot explain how devastating the destruction has been to our country. Just give us an idea of the destruction. At times, its buildings, schools and so on . From initial reports, there has been damage to homes, properties, businesses, landslides, the rivers have overflowed. Businesses, landslides, the rivers have ove rflowed. A businesses, landslides, the rivers have overflowed. A lot of people have overflowed. A lot of people have lost their house. Their roof. We arejust have lost their house. Their roof. We are just waiting to assess the damage. What kind of help do you needin damage. What kind of help do you need in dominica for the International Community . What kind of assistance are you looking for . Initially, i think according to the Prime Minister, it will be the First Business would be search and rescue, he is interested in finding and rescuing those who are trapped and securing medical assistance for the injured. Helicopter services. Securing medical assistance for the injured. Helicopterservices. So there are friendly nations and organisations, coming to our aid. The Prime Minister has been saying, even his own roof was blown off. It is just even his own roof was blown off. It isjust a even his own roof was blown off. It is just a disaster for so even his own roof was blown off. It isjust a disasterfor so many people there . It is indeed. It has been one of the worst hurricanes that have hit the country. His roof was blown away but he was rescued thankfully. He is now in a place of safety. Give us an idea of how many people live in domenico . We have about 71,000 right now. And a lot of those will be affected by what has happened . It is Hurricane Season and caribbean islands are often hit. In some ways theyd used to seeing this 01 some ways theyd used to seeing this or it was this on took everyone by surprise . It is something we are accustomed to. Every year we suffer the effects of hurricanes, of Tropical Storms, but theres one increased in intensity and power in such a short space of time. From a category three to a category five. Such a short space of time that it caught some of us by surprise. But they were prepared, people went into shelters and from the reports that we re shelters and from the reports that were relayed back to me here in london, we could not recognise it, it was just too strong. Thanks for joining us. Im sure everyones thoughts are our people there in dominica suffering so much. Lets talk more now about the latest hurricane. Lets speak now to myles allen professor of geosystem science at the university of oxford. Thanks forjoining us. Talk us through the signs of this. We have seen through the signs of this. We have seen this spate of hurricanes. We know it is hurricane. But is it common to have this very hurricanes of such ferocity so close together . It is Hurricane Season but there are certain factors about this particular season that are conducive to hurricanes growing. By commissioner mentioned how rapidly it grew from a Tropical Storm to a category five hurricane. 0ne it grew from a Tropical Storm to a category five hurricane. One of the ingredients you need for that is warm seasonal temperatures. Burton albion to let exceptionally warm but relatively warm. You also need the atmosphere to be stable and calm relatively. If the winds are blowing like this, different from low level winds, that breaks the hurricane apart, but if the atmosphere is relatively stable to start with hurricanes can grow much like the vortex in a bath tub. They can develop into the spectacular storm. How long is the Hurricane Season, what is the kind of window in terms of time per year . It runs through from late july and of time per year . It runs through from latejuly and august through to november. That is the time of the year when surface temperatures are warm enough, and the atmospheric conditions are right to develop. We are getting good, as people have noticed, i am are getting good, as people have noticed, iam predicting are getting good, as people have noticed, i am predicting weather storms will go once they have happened. Admittedly we cant predict what the damage will be but thatis predict what the damage will be but that is because they really tiny deflection in the path of the storm to make a huge difference. But the forecast are good, but what we cant yet do is forecast when they will occui yet do is forecast when they will occur in the first place and will be able to because of tiny disturbances all the way in the east african highlands that grow into these massive storms eventually. A lot of people are saying, linking the ferocity of the hurricanes with Climate Change and global warming, is that your view . There were certainly some factors at play. I mentioned that one seasonal temperatures is one factor that allows hurricane to get particularly strong, it is also undeniable that the warmer the atmosphere, the more moisture it can held, thats basic physics, and the more intense the rainfall is. There was also sea level rise, the level is rising in these regions and that exacerbates these regions and that exacerbates the impact of storm surges. While we cannot yet say and we may well never be able to weather Climate Change is making the risk of hurricanes any worse, what we can say is it is exacerbating probably their impacts. Good to talk to you, thank you for your analysis. 0ther other news this afternoon. The foreign secretary borisjohnson has said hes not considering resigning and is united behind the Prime Minister. It comes as mrjohnson and theresa may are due to meet at the United Nations General Assembly after the pm accused him of back seat driving over brexit.

The International Space station has passed over the hurricane showing the vaster scale of the storm with wind speeds of 160 mph. Police say the number of people who died in the g re nfell tower the number of people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire may be lower than the previous estimate of 80. In sport, real ferdinand says he will be fighting for a title. The former Manchester United and england defender was trying to gain a professional boxing licence at the age of 38. The lioness is start their World Cup Campaign, over shadowing is Mark Sampsons conduct, the case of bullying may be reopened. And the british womens Bobsleigh Team are said to have theirfunding Bobsleigh Team are said to have their funding withdrawn who say they are gutted and shocked about the decision. A full update for you in the 15 minutes. Police now say that the death toll in the Grenfell Tower fire injune may not be quite as high as previously thought. It was believed that around 80 people had died in the fire. Detectives have also revealed that 240 people managed to escape the blaze between midnight and eight oclock the following morning. Our Home Affairs Correspondent danny shaw is at scotland yard. This investigation is proceeding well but its going slowly, because the volume of material that the police have to go through. They have received 31 million documents from the number of, companies and organisations involved in construction, with an atlanta management of grenfell. They are also looking at what happen when the Emergency Services arrived. They have a couple of thousand people the need to speak to. The need to go to the evidence and they are examining g re nfell the evidence and they are examining grenfell forensically, the evidence and they are examining grenfellforensically, going the evidence and they are examining grenfell forensically, going through all the various fire precautions in place, then there will be a reconstruction of those fire procedures and elements, two try and see whether the fire systems work or didnt work, how a fire spread. Its not till the end of that process which will be well into next year, before please will think about bringing people in for questioning and making arrests. Among the possible offences that the book could be questioned about our fraud, misconduct misconduct in a public office, breaches of health and safety a nd office, breaches of health and safety and fire regulations, manslaughter and corporate manslaughter. We have been speaking to Fiona Maccormack who is one of the Senior Officers in the investigation. Charges would be way too early at the moment. But the offence is that we are investigating at the moment range from everything from corporate manslaughter, manslaughter via gross negligence or the way to fraud, misconduct and public safety. There was nothing of the table as im concerned. But i know from many people it is going to feel at three months is a long time, for us still so new months is a long time, for us still so new and until weve really had an opportunity to look through that, i dont know if there are other offe nces dont know if there are other offences out there that i havent spoken about. Police have revised what they believe to be the final death toll. They thought it was at least 80 and they now believe it could be below that. One of the reasons for that is because some people came forward claiming that their loved ones had died in the fire, they are now investigating whether those claims were in fact is fraudulent. 0ther whether those claims were in fact is fraudulent. Other people also came forward and said they lost property, their flats have been forward and said they lost property, theirflats have been damaged, some of those claims are now being looked at with a view to prosecution for fraud. There are eight cases in that category. There are also four people who have reported to police that they have had money and other items stolen from their flats since the fire. Grenfell tower has been under guard 2a hours a day. But it seems that some people or an individual may have accessed their flats and stolen money. Some reports suggest it could be as much as £5,000 in total that has been stolen. Reacting total that has been stolen. Reacting to all of this on the grenfell estate, we have spoken to one man whose uncle died in the fire. I want individuals charged, prosecuted and sent to prison. Thats what i want. It is more than three months on now and hesjust have the latest update 20 figures moving quickly enough, do you feel like youve got enough from the services . As time goes on, you understand the scale of everything i think it would be wrong to and i think it would be wrong to wa nt and i think it would be wrong to want thanks done quickly. 0ne and i think it would be wrong to want thanks done quickly. One thing is done properly. We want things done properly. Thats because theres lots of manpower and resources, it doesnt mean things will move quickly. I would prefer if they took their time which means things would be done properly. Police are taking their time for this. It has gone on for three months and will go into next year. The cost of it having been estimated yet but there are in excess of 200 detectors and other Police Officers working on this huge investigation. Danny, thank you. Danny shaw at scotla nd danny, thank you. Danny shaw at scotland yard. Lets bring you the latest on the liberal democrats and vince cable. He will close the conference with his speech. He says political adults from all parties should come together to stop a withdrawal from the eu. Should come together to stop a withdrawalfrom the eu. Also repeat his call for any deal with brussels to be put to a referendum. 0ur political correspondent, eleanor garnier, is at the conference, in bournemouth. What do we expect him to say . The pa rtys what do we expect him to say . The partys line on brexit that it wants another vote on the referendum, and exit from brexit to stop britains withdrawal from the eu, exit from brexit to stop britains withdrawalfrom the eu, thatll exit from brexit to stop britains withdrawal from the eu, thatll be and centre of vince cables spieth. But he will also insist that the party must not become a single issue party. Not ukip in reverse. He was big, bold idea is popular with lots of people. He will of course need to appeal to the audience, give them and is of a spring in this step, as they leave the last day of the conference, but he needs to appeal to people across the country from all sides of the political spectrum. You would think that is the most pro eu party that the lib dems would have the pick of the 40 of people who voted remain in the referendum but this years jamal al produced a disappointing demel election result that is the dismal killing occurred the shine has slightly come off it, they asked slightly down. It is a huge challenge the new leader has. Sir vince cable needs to convince people of the party bus in their sta nce people of the party bus in their stance and brexit, turnaround that disappointing results from the general election and convince people that the lib dems are relevant in british politics once again.

But when he talked about Reform Committee applauded the reform effo rts committee applauded the Reform Efforts of the un secretary general. There are no secrets about what issues to address. The first of the threat posed by north korea, we have listened to the un secretary general antonio gutierrez, who is making the first speech today. He warned that the world could sidestep its way into war, he says they were to be worried about the threat of war because he said it was a real possibility. That was an echo in President Trumps speech. We also wa nt to President Trumps speech. We also want to find out because it does affect the entire International Community, what about the hints that the usa wont pull out of the paris impact on Climate Change grizzled and the nuclear deal, there are conflicting signals of the nuclear deal and putting pressure on iran.

Maybe if he spots of rain as we finish the afternoon but elsewhere sunny spells, light winds, feeling warmer than the past few days given the light rays, tammuz is about 15 18d. Dry in the evening with amateurs taking a dip, the odd spot of rain, into east and northern england, wet in Northern Ireland.

People in the uk are making more attempts to find jihadist material online than those in any other european country thats according to research by a think tank. It has been studying extremist content posted by the so called Islamic State group, as our security correspondent a hundred pieces of new propaganda are being created every week by so called Islamic State, according to the report by policy exchange whose researchers found the uk was ranked fifth in terms of countries where the material was most frequently accessed. This is a whole new domain of warfare, right along with ground, sea warfare, right along with ground, sea and air, you have cyberspace, a new battle space, if you will. Ive talked with leaders of different firms and theyre working this very hard. A study by the policy Exchange Says the uk ranks fifth as the country where people most frequently click on such radical content, the highest in europe. In the wake of recent terror attacks, the government has been trying to put pressure on Big Technology Companies Like twitter, facebook and youtube, to do more to ta ke facebook and youtube, to do more to take the material down and the author of todays report says there is more they could do. If you look at the struggle against child pornography for example, it seems the Tech Companies and government have put in place a framework that is morrow bust and seems to be more effective and we are asking the question, are there lessons that can be learnt from that struggle . The companies have been making strides. Facebooks using new technology to try take down material and accounts faster, but polling suggests three quarters of the public think they could do more. And todays report says tougher measures like an independent regulator with the ability to levy fines or even prosecution may be needed. Some experts who work on counterradicalisation caution that taking down extremist content though wont eliminate the problem. Taking down extremist content though wont eliminate the problemlj taking down extremist content though wont eliminate the problem. I think we all have to do this without simply thinking legislation is the way forward. I think we need to be more preventative from a communities, young people and from organisations like ours, for example, whore working with Technology Companies. With socalled Islamic State continuing to use online material to try to recruit, radicalise and train people in bomb making, todays report is another sign that pressure on Technology Companies to do more is growing.

Ryanair has published a full list of the 2,000 flights that its cancelling over the next 6 weeks. The Budget Airline has admitted it messed up the planning of holidays for its pilots. 400,000 passengers are likely to be affected by the error. The operator faces a compensation bill of more than 17 million pounds. Tom burridge has more. Ryanair has been anything but satisfying flying for the huge number of people whose flights have been cancelled. The Budget Airline has now published a full list on its website, more than 2,000 flights cancelled over the next six weeks. Ryanair have cancelled two of ourflights home now which means we are stuck in madrid, we have had to pay hundreds extra to book another hotel and flights back and the communication from ryanair has been atrocious, we dont even know why its been cancelled and we are desperate to get home. Ryanair claimed it made mistakes when allocating leave for its pilots. It says it will refund all passengers or rebook them on to other flights. And pay compensation particularly for those due to fly in the next two weeks. I dont think it is appropriate when an organisation is offering you a service, they fail in this way. I dont think its that is related to low Cost Airlines but we need to understand from ryanair precisely how this problem has arisen. Ryanair denies it has a shortage of pilots after some left tojoin its rival, norwegian. Ryanairflies more people around europe than any other airline but it has more unhappy customers now.

Reporter have you become an apologise for ethnic cleansing . Do you have something to say . Her countrys military stands accused by the United Nations of ethnic cleansing. The defence minister denied it. Translation its not because of the soldiers. The rohingya are lying on purpose. In fact, soldiers. The rohingya are lying on purpose. Infact, our soldiers. The rohingya are lying on purpose. In fact, our people are the ones facing ethnic cleansing. The rehint see ya started attacking the Security Forces rohingya. Rehint see ya started attacking the Security Forces rohingya. Aung san suu kyi said the burning of the rohingya villages have stopped. There have been no conflicts since 5th september and no clearance operations. We too are concerned. We wa nt to operations. We too are concerned. We want to find out what the real problems are. But the burning has continued. The bbc filmed rohingya villages being torched within the last fortnight well after she said it had finished. Human rights campaigners are critical. At times, it was a mixture of untruths and victim blaming and i think for us really just seemed victim blaming and i think for us reallyjust seemed like an attempt to downplay the situation when we have people across the border in bangladesh whore documenting the most horrific abuses of this campaign of ethnic cleansing. For the refugees, a question are they safe to go back . Are they welcome . Straight to the liberal democrat conference. I would like to offer my thanks to my predecessor, tim farron. Applause. He hands over a party which is larger and stronger and more diverse than the one he inherited. And he stood up for refugees whose plight the government shamefully ignored. Applause. He established our very clear identity as the only real undiluted pro european party. Applause. We are all hugely endebted to him. Its good today to be amongst friends so please forgive me if i start by addressing people who are not yet our friends but whom we might persuade. People who say they dont know what we stand for wholl think we are irrelevant. But anybody who doubts the relevance of the liberal democrats should reflect on the three great disasters perpetrated by the two main parties in recent years. The war in iraq, the banking crisis and now brexit. Applause. You may remember the labour government, egged on by the conservative opposition, plunged this country into a disastrous illegal war and its helped to fuel thejihadist movements which terrorise the middle east and our own country and allies to this day. It was only the liberal democrats under Charles Kennedy who showed somejudgment under Charles Kennedy who showed some judgment and political courage when it was needed. Im immensely proud to have served my parliamentary apprenticeship in that company. Then the same government lost control of the economy. It allowed reckless and greedy bankers to run amok. And yet again, the conservatives egged labour on, demanding even less restraint. The liberal democrats warned that it would end badly and it did. And the economy built on banking and property speculation was left dangerously exposed to the Global Financial crisis. And the bailful consequences are with us to this day. Our economy continues to be dependent on the life support system of ultra cheap money, which even now is inflating a new credit bubble and it left a real sense of resentment that wealth inequalities have widened and only the super rich have widened and only the super rich have flourished in the post crisis world. Now, in 2010, afterall that, we could have stood aside washing our hands of responsibility. We could have been the party that said, we told you so. But we didnt. We went into government in the National Interest to repair the damage. It was the right thing to do and nick clegg led us courageously in doing it. Applause. While thinking about nick, im sure youll all want tojoin while thinking about nick, im sure youll all want to join me while thinking about nick, im sure youll all want tojoin me in sending him and mir ram or best wishes as antonio and the family return from what has been tough and anxious times. Applause. 0ur applause. Our thoughts are very much with them. Now, nick has been much vilified by our opponents. But we are proud of him and his record and im certain that just as parliament him and his record and im certain thatjust as parliament now misses his voice, history will vindicate his voice, history will vindicate hisjudgment. Hear, hear. You need only look at our record to know it. In government we did a lot of good and we stopped a lot of bad. Dont let the tories tell you that they lifted millions of low earners out of income tax, because we did. Applause. And dont let the tories tell you that they launched and apprenticeship revolution and industrial strategy because they didnt. We did. Applause. And dont let thetories tell you that they brought in the pupil premium and free school meals. We did that. The liberal democrats did that. Let the tories tell you that. Let the tories tell you that they brought in the pupil premium. We have paid a high political price. Trust was lost and, for many voters, we still have to scrub ourselves hard to get rid of the smell of clearing up other peoples mess. Applause. And now another disaster looms. Brexit. It was the product of a fraudulent and frivolous campaign led by two groups of silly public schoolboys reliving their dormitory pillow fights. Cheering and applause. And now, thanks to borisjohnson, theyve degenerated into a full scale school riot with the head teacher hiding, barricaded in her office. But in the real world, weve yet to experience the full impact of leaving europe. But weve had a taste of whats to come in the fall in the value of the pound. Now, Foreign Exchange dealers are not point scoring politicians. They make cool point scoring politicians. They make cool, hard, unsentimental judgments. Quite simply, Brexit Britain will be poorer and weaker than if we decided to stay in Europe Brexit was described by the brexit secretary himself as an operation of such technical complexity that it makes the moon landing look simple. I have to say, its a pity that the brexit landing is being managed by people whod struggle to get their heads round a toddlers lego set. Applause. These are people who still live in a world of infantile tory fairytale stories. Im sure you know about the giant tweeter lives in a whitehouse far away and flies across the ocean to rescue us from the wicket gnomes of europe. But to be serious for a moment, its both extraordinary and unforgiveable that the government is enentrusting the future of this country, its trade policy, standing in the world, to a special relationship with a president who is volatile, dangerous and an apologyist for racial hatred. Applause. Its an outrage that this man who now presoups to attack our highly Effective Police and security services, has been invited here on a state visit. Asjo swinson so rightly said on sunday, no red carpet for President Trump, the visit should be cancelled. Let me say a few words about labour. Many people got behind Jeremy Corbyn injune. I think genuinely expecting a better politics and a better future. And theyre already being betrayed. Because todays labour party isnt into problem solving, let alone government. Jeremy corbyns acolytes are focussed on how to maximise the contradictions of capitalism. You dont qualify for the labour shadow cabinet these days u nless the labour shadow cabinet these days unless youve studied the venezualan guide on how to bankrupt a rich country. Applause. Its actually no wonder they back brexit. Its no wonder they lined up behind theresa may, maximising the chances of chaos and disruption. And then a few weeks ago, the moderates briefly penetrated the corbyn bunker. They persuaded him that collaborating quite so closely with the class enemy didnt look too good. So theyve got a new policy which is to stay in the Single Market and customs union, possibly. 0rto market and customs union, possibly. Or to leave. Maybe. Market and customs union, possibly. 0rto leave. Maybe. 0r market and customs union, possibly. Or to leave. Maybe. Or maybe stay in a bitand or to leave. Maybe. Or maybe stay in a bit and then leave. Im actually trying to be kind and trying to understand what they re trying to be kind and trying to understand what theyre trying to say. I think the current line is, we should transition to the transition gradually while we prepare for a post transition world. I think this is what they mean by the smack of firm leadership. I believe Jeremy Corbyn would the smack of firm leadership. I believeJeremy Corbyn would do a lot better to get off the fence and refurbish his revolutionary credentials. Sojeremy, refurbish his revolutionary credentials. So jeremy, join refurbish his revolutionary credentials. Sojeremy, join us in the anti brexit Peoples Liberation front. Cheering and applause. What the people want, what our country now desperately needs is some political adults. Thats you. Thats us. Unfortunately, we are not alone. There are plenty of sensible grown ups in the conservative party and the labour party and the greens. And beyond them, there are millions of people who are deeply worried about whats happening. And weve got to put aside tribal differences and work alongside like minded people to keep the Single Market and the customs union, which is so essential for trade and jobs, europes high environmentally social standards, the shared research, the help for our poorer regions, cooperation over policing and terrorism. Now, europe, of course, needs reform. But you dont achieve reform by walking away. Applause. So our position is clear. The liberal democrats are the party of remain. The government meanwhile is stuck in divorce negotiation for which its hopelessly ill equilled, ill prepared and internally divided. Soi ill prepared and internally divided. So i have some practical advice for theresa may. Take the issue of European Union nationals in the uk and the british nationals in europe out of these negotiations because. Applause. Because using them as bargaining chips is not only morally wrong but utterly cowardly productive. So put the lives of 4 Million People first. Not the poste doing internal politics of the conservative party. The government should declare a right to stay
