We are not treating our planet very footballer emilano sala and his pilot may have had Carbon Monoxide poisoining thoughtfully. We produce on the before the fatal crash. Packaging materials, we cover it was thought to be everything in polymer based varnish. One of the worlds last pristine environments, now scientists find microparticles plus the first british tv of plastic in snow in the arctic. Adverts to be banned under new rules on gender stereotyping. I think we are not treating our hello and welcome planet very thoughtfully. Im katty kay in washington borisjohnson accuses mps and david eades is in london. Anyone who thought who want to stop a no deal brexit getting a new leader of a terrible collaboration into downing street would unite the conservative party should think again. Borisjohnson is embroiled in a very public row with the former with the European Union. Chancellor over a no deal brexit. 150,000 people sign the Prime Minister today accused a petition calling for more mps who oppose brexit funding for social care. And, much to the disapointment of children around the country, of a terrible collaboration with the European Union. He was responding to Phillip Hammonds accusation that mrjohnsons government is trying to wreck the chance of a brexit deal, by making demands the eu will never accept. Mr hammond added that leaving the eu without a deal would bejust as much a betrayal of the referendum result as not leaving at all. The british people were offered a proposition that we could leave the European Union while having a close relationship. They were told it would be the easiest deal ever done. And all the evidence points to people wanting to maintain close trading relationship with the eu to protect britishjobs and british prosperity and minimise disruption in the future. To set the bar for negotiations so high that we inevitably leave without a deal would be a betrayal, and the Prime Minister said he would get a deal and we want to see him deliver that deal. Parliament in london is currently in recess but even so mps are hard at work. Many discussing their own strategies on how to block the government if it tries to leave the eu without a deal. The speaker of the Commons John Bercow said he would fight any attempt to lock mps out. He told an audience in Edinburgh Parliament will be heard and nobody is going to get away, as far as im concerned, with stopping that happening. We can now speak to the deputy Political Editor for the spectator, katy balls she joins us from westminster. I wonder what you make of this, it is either the complaint of a departed loser or a desperate cry of what is going on in downing street . Perhaps it is a bit of both. what is going on in downing street . Perhaps it is a bit of both. I think his intervention was interesting. It started with a piece in the times and he said he had given the government three weeks to settle in and now was time for the brexiters to end. The talent has long been critical of the prospect of a no deal brexit, what has triggered him to go public at this point is the fact he feels the goalposts have moved with borisjohnson. Boris johnson once said the chances of a no deal brexit wherei johnson once said the chances of a no deal brexit where i million to one. But he has not even talk to eu leaders until the backstop is removed entirely. This is a problem for the members of the conservative party who want ideal exit. We do not know what will happen at the start of september, whether it is a no confidence vote or legal moves to make sure Boris Johnson no confidence vote or legal moves to make sure borisjohnson cannot prorogue parliament, what will happen . No one knows what will happen. Philip hammond today was doing a media rounds, saying he was confident parliament would be able to stop a no deal brexit. The intervention in the first place shows he is not entirely confident and is trying to put pressure on borisjohnson. The and is trying to put pressure on Boris Johnson. The figures and is trying to put pressure on borisjohnson. The figures in downing street show we could be read into an early election. Or a confidence vote, mps could be voting down this government because their hands are tied on brexit. The only way to deliver brexit is to seek a public mandate perhaps. That is the showdown we are heading to, i think. His intervention showed no attempt from downing street to suggest they we re from downing street to suggest they were trying to get Philip Hammond on site. They were quite dismissive of Philip Hammond which shows Boris Johnson and his government are more concerned with Winning Public opinion than winning round mps. Concerned with Winning Public opinion than winning round mpsm there any concern he could alienate some sector of Public Opinion, remain voting conservatives, if he is that dismissive of remains supporting members of the conservative party, remain supporting mps . I think there is a risk of the strategy that Boris Johnson is pursuing. The first thing he wants to do in terms of Public Opinion is reunited leave vote. Lots of his appointments in downing street such as dominic cummings, worked on the leaf campaign, he is trying to bring back that 32 48 vote lead voters. A lot of them have left to go to the brexit party. Their first task is to get brexit voters back together and hope that popular domestic polities will win round some other running voters. Domestic policies. The head for our election, ill all those running voters could be a tricky problem. There is much going on but even with the recess, where is it going, does anyone know . From the broader perspective, it is so difficult to piece others together. Mps are in the same place, hedges the set together . This is also the case with theresa mays tymon authors. There we re theresa mays tymon authors. There were a number of votes that came before parliament. There has been some number crunching regarding a general election, can you guess what the earliest date would be to hold thirsty general in the uk . That is bit difficult. It is october the sist. Bit difficult. It is october the 31st. To hold a thursday general election in the uk. That is a fun fa ct. Election in the uk. That is a fun fact. American politics. In the us theres been a warning that a us uk trade deal will not get through congress if brexit undermines the good friday agreement. Thats according to the speaker of the us house of representatives democrat nancy pelosi, whose Party Controls the house. She said the uks exit from the eu could not be allowed to endanger the irish peace deal. Her comments come after the Us National Security adviser john bolton said the uk would be first in line for a trade deal. Lets speak to the bbcs north america editorjon sopel. This looks like a direct rebuttal of the white house, nancy pelosi saying not so fast on fast tracking that trade deal that jeopardises not so fast on fast tracking that trade deal thatjeopardises the good friday agreement, it will not happen. She says there is no chance of that happening. It is as if she has a giant bucket of ice cold water and poured it all over whatjohn bolton has been saying in the past 48 hours during his trip to london where he said it would be front of the line, parroting what barack obama had said about going to the back of the queue if we left the eu. John bolton born not be the person negotiating a treaty. The Us Administration has someone else to do that. It is not in his gift to negotiate a trade deal, secondly, any trade you would have to go through congress. This is notjust about democrats taking the side of the remainers. This is about the irish lobby being very powerful and american politics. If this happens, and it could be very damaging to ireland, the irish lobby will not like that at so nancy pelosi has made it clear, as things stand, if there is nothing about preventing a ha rd there is nothing about preventing a hard border taking place then that is not a chance it will get through congress. That is very interesting about the irish lobby because if we go back to the time of the good friday agreement, every year, st patricks Day Celebration meant half of irelands trot to washington to lobby and get the right support over there, is it really is still a big deal within the us for the Irish American community . Look, when i go to get my assignments this lunchtime, when i queued, i did not hear people saying i am terribly worried about the backstop. But in political circles it is. St patricks day is still a huge event in washington, dc where the president , Vice President and everybody wants to wrap themselves in the green of the irish flag, that is still an important political fact in the us. I think when there is such concern, the us is a cool guarantor of the good friday agreement, so there will be a lot of pressure not to do anything to jeopardise it. It will be a reality check, if you like, from what we had from john bolton which gave the impression this would go through light and laser beam, i think it will be anything like that. What nancy pelosi has done today is squeeze the brakes. Thank you very much for that. One cabinet minister was quoted today saying no deal heart size, the eu and ireland but most of all ireland so that intervention from nancy pelosi will be very well received in dublin i am sure. Speaker they did go over to the uk and ireland over easter. She spoke to downing street, the erg and the labour party. She spoke to the dup and people in dublin. I spoke to her after the visit and she said she went with the express intent of telling them any deal which jeopardises the good friday agreement would not lead to a trade deal which could go through congress. She said it repeatedly to me and in public. When President Trump said america cannot be the worlds policeman he was serious. Faced with a serious of flare up of tension in hong kong his administration said today it was a purely internal matter. Hong kong is grappling with its tenth week of disruptive, sometimes violent pro democracy protests theyre closely being watched by the chinese government, and many are wondering whether beijing will eventually lose patience and take more direct action. Meanwhile in kashmir tensions continue to run high after indias decision to revoke the regions special status. Some accuse mr trump of abandoning the longstanding us policy of supporting democracy movements round the world. And at the risk of stating the obvious somethings gotta give. Footage of pro democracy activists in hong kong detaining two people one said to be a journalist from Mainland China has already been given widespread coverage on Chinese State run media, and led to inevitable condemnation from hong kongs police force. The Hong Kong Police have always facilitated peaceful and orderly protests over the years but the extremely radical and violent acts have certainly crossed the line and are to be most severely condemned. The Police Pledge to all citizens in hong kong that we will take steps to bring all culprits to justice. But one of the leaders of the Pro Democracy Movement joshua wong says the Police Tactics are aggravating the situation. When live weapons were used by hong kong riot police, especially one young lady who joined the protest peacefully resulted in permanent blindness. 700 activists and ordinary citizens were arrested after police fired more than 2000 tear gas. Itjust triggered more of the discontent of hong kong people to beijing. Here with analysis on the protests is former us defence secretary, william cohen. Thank you for coming in. Would it make a difference if america were to intervene, the white house were to intervene, the white house were to intervene forcefully and Say Something to beijing about the hong kong protest . I think it is important to present all states indicate to the president of china that it would be a big mistake to use overwhelming military force suppress this demonstration. When the president says this is purely a local matter, it is purely internal and not for other countries to intervene, that has never been the position of the United States. We intervened in bosnia, kosovo when we saw ethnic cleansing taking place. That was an internal matter but we a lwa ys that was an internal matter but we always support democratic regimes in countries throughout the world and will speak up on behalf of democracies so i do not think anything happens in isolation. What happens in hong kong sends a signal to all the countries in the asia pacific region. They will look carefully to see what the role of undertaker and china will be. They we re undertaker and china will be. They were unhappy with the president pulling out of the Trans Pacific partnership. They were unhappy with the president having a summit with kim jong un without having any of the discussions locked in in preparation for the summit. Then to have the massive exercises we have on an annual basis being pulled out, this signals you on your own. For the president to sit on the sidelines and the i hope it works out well, it sends a signal to all the countries in the region. To some extent he is reflecting us Public Opinion. We have had 16 years of conflict in the middle east in which america has been engaged, it has not gone well and we are done with being the wilds policeman and anyway will china listen . If it is the United States alone, perhaps not. It is the United States and the eu, perhaps. It is also the asian states, they may well listen . You think a force Multiplier Effect . Yes. By sending a signal to the world that we are concerned about democracy and operation and authoritarian regimes, and when we back often say it is oaky it and when we back often say it is oa ky it is and when we back often say it is oaky it is an internal matter, that isa oaky it is an internal matter, that is a signal which will worry a lot of people. If i canjust comment, i am half irish and diane with nancy pelosi. In the last few minutes, the Us Administration has said they are very concerned by the chinese Paramilitary Movement on the hong kong border. It is important for the Hong Kong Government to respect freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. Does that reassure you they are not turning a blind guy . Interestingly, that comes from the state department, not the white house. Again, who speaks for the white house . The secretary of state oi white house . The secretary of state or does the president only speak for the white house . That is part of the confusion. We say we have been enough of the policeman of the world but we do not need to be the policeman, weaken not check back to the United States and watch the world on the bbc or other networks. We have to help shape the world rather than becoming a prisoner of world events. When we polite, bad things happen. Yes, it is a penalty and burden for being the leader of the free world but it means we have to speak out for the core values that we have held about liberty by the rest of the world. Thank you very much for coming in. When we pull out, bad things happen. There are more curious details surrounding the death of the financierjeffrey epstein. The New York Times is reporting today that the Prison Guards at the new york city jail failed to check up on him for three hours and then falsified the logs. The news comes a day after the warden of the high security facility was temporarily reassigned and two guards put on administrative leave by the bureau of prisons, pending an investigation. Jeffry epstein was facing prosecution for sex trafficking when he was found dead in a suspected suicide. We can now get more form nada tawfik in new york. The extraordinary thing is, this is not some Police Custody sale, this isa not some Police Custody sale, this is a very high security significant Detention Centre where some of the most significant, alleged criminals are held. It seems beyond belief. Absolutely. I think that is why that is so much scrutiny. I have covered many high profile trials here in new york, as recently as the drug lord who was also housed there. It is considered one of the most secure in the nation so i think that is why you have seen such outrage and why the Justice Department you have seen such outrage and why theJustice Department has said he had to admit there were serious irregularities. You have the guards asleep for nearly three hours, according to Law Enforcement sources. Instead they should have been checking Onjeffrey Epstein every 30 minutes. That is a severe problem. He was reportedly dead for about an hour problem. He was reportedly dead for aboutan houror problem. He was reportedly dead for about an hour or two mac before they went into his cell. The fbi has begun the process of trying to interview not only the guards but other staff and review the camera footage to see exactly what happened. I also understand their is a review
