We will hear from the choir that is helping the Community Heal through music. Hello and welcome. Im katty kay In Washington, Christian Fraser is in london where the pound has fallen to a seven month low against the euro and a new survey suggests Business Leaders are fast losing confidence in the state of the uk economy. Theresa may britains Prime Minister, at least for the moment has been meeting conservative Party Leaders and she had a lot of explaining to do. May apologised repeatedly for last weeks Election Result. According to one mp who was in the meeting, she said, im the person who got us into this mess. Im going to get us out of it. I will serve she told them as long as you want me. We can speak to rob watson In Westminster. I will serve you as long as you want me . That doesnt suggest she will be around for long. Probably not long enough to fight idolater election. For those who do not know that Conservative Party well, it is ruthless. If you win elections, you can do what you like but if you lose them you were a gonen but if you lose them you were a goner. The reason that is different this time is because the party is not ina this time is because the party is not in a mood to fight another election which it might lose. As a colleague put it, the conservatives have decided they would rather have a bad Prime Minister than no Prime Minister, and you have to remember, many conservative mps, the most important thing, more precious than gold, is getting brexit done so they will not want anything like a new Leadership Contest to threaten that. That seems to be the big issue, what impact does the election have in practical terms on those perks of negotiations and on britains future relationship with europe . The answer to that one is easy, who knows . I was hoping you did its been widely discussed In Westminster and the a nswer discussed In Westminster and the answer is who knows. The answer from the government is to say we will carry on as before, that was the line from david davis, the brexit secretary, and that is the view of lots of Hardline Eurosceptics but one of the things that was the result of the general election, theresa may had held it to try to put the divisions of the Eu Referendum behind anyone and get the country united, the opposite has happened, it has reopened the debate about what brexit should mean, not just within the Conservative Party, we re just within the Conservative Party, were a lot of people who are pro european are saying they need to rethink this, but outside the Conservative Party and outside politics. You talked about businesses saying we all need a rethink on this so the short answer is who knows, that is the longer one and it shows you there is a vast amounts of uncertainty. Rob, thank you. Well, lets speak to someone who was in the room. Nadhim zahawi is a conservative mp and supported brexit. Hes In Westminster. She apologised, it sounds like the people in the room with accepted that apology, she a standing ovation, they were happy with accepting full responsibility but she has got her party into a mess, hasnt she . Remember she won the election with the greatest number of seats in parliament, 318, and with the dup can form a Working Majority and has moved swiftly to focus on thejob in and has moved swiftly to focus on the job in hand and has moved swiftly to focus on thejob in hand of reshuffling her cabinet and having a strong cabinet in place, promoting michael gove, making sure damian green is her second in command, her Chief Of Staff, it alan barwell, has a wealth of respect in the parliamentary party. The 1922 Committee Meetings are confidential. You are not going to try and say this is a good result for the Conservative Party . wouldnt result for the Conservative Party . |j wouldnt insult your intelligence by saying that although the Prime Minister quite rightly said that we polled almost 42 , a staggering achievement but it didnt have the desired outcome because under any other circumstances that would have been a large majority but labour did better as well. Although it was a confidential meeting, she had three standing ovations. She judged confidential meeting, she had three standing ovations. Shejudged the room rightly, she had thought long and hard about how she will move forward , and hard about how she will move forward, she spoke about the way number 10 is forward, she spoke about the way number10 is changing, how forward, she spoke about the way number 10 is changing, how it will interact with the parliamentary party, how it will work with collea g u es party, how it will work with colleagues across the different views on brexit within our own party and literally each and every person who stood up to ask a question from either side, those who campaign for remain for those who wanted brown said, gave the Prime Minister that com plete said, gave the Prime Minister that complete call some support for her position. She also said there will be more consultation on brexit. The shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said they will hold the governments feed to the fire and where they dont agree they will put forward amendments and i assume remainer is in the Conservative Party will vote for some of those amendments. I suspect you will see the labour party being held to account. In the election campaign, if you look at their manifesto it was close to our position saying they wanted access to the Single Market, so out of the Single Market, out of the Customs Union and controlling our borders but keir starmer and Jeremy Corbyn will have to make up their mind what they will do. I would to make up their mind what they will do. Iwould highly to make up their mind what they will do. I would highly advise them, not that they want my advice, to put the National Interest ahead and deliver a good brexit, which theresa may is 110w a good brexit, which theresa may is now determined to do, she said she called the election and took full responsibility and now has to deliver a good brexit. Can i underline a point you made there because i think its being lost and politicians and the media are to blame, can we be clear that both parties will have to leave the Single Market . It does seem, as you said, if labourare Single Market . It does seem, as you said, if labour are suggesting we can stay in it somehow, we are talking about access to the Single Market, not staying in it. Thats right and its worth many of your collea g u es right and its worth many of your colleagues asking that question of the labour party because if that the position they have taken in the ma nifesto, position they have taken in the manifesto, it is close to our position and so over 80 of people who voted last thursday voted for a good brexit, to come out of the eu, accessed the Single Market and control our borders, so i hope many of your colleagues in the broadcast and print media will begin now asking labour if they are serious about that and will deliver their ma nifesto about that and will deliver their manifesto pledge. Thank you for joining us. Christian, this is interesting, what the Practical Implications will be. Rob watson said he doesnt know if this will lead to brexit because the Prime Minister is under pressure form some in their own party to deliver us after brexit. He was sending good about the future of the party but i cannot believe he is happy about the business surveyed saying 20 of islamist leaders are losing confidence in the british economy and the euro is down to a seven month low. It looks chaotic, and bear in mind that the European Commission president was encouraging theresa may to hold this election because they wanted clarity, he said you cannot come to the table with a majority of 17, you need a mandate, so majority of 17, you need a mandate, so what reaction they will give to her when she goes over next week, the europeans want certainty, they dont want to get to a Sticking Point and then she will go back and see if she can get it passed parliament. The europeans want to crack on with it. 0ne european who doesnt seem to be having problems this morning is president micron. He is waking up a happy man. Emmanuel macron shows you can be populist in the centre because the parliamentary elections are a landslide, he will have the majority of mps anti war want to crack on with brexit to because he wants to re energise the Franco German partnership. It was always the brits who were standing in the wake of this so having them out of the way clears that up and it brexit isnt a success , clears that up and it brexit isnt a success, it is Marine Le Pen who would pay the price for that because she has put brexit up in shining lights and said that is what we want. And he has taken people from left and right into his government. If he manages to reform the French Economy with this model, i bet it will Sense Chivers down the spine of traditional figures like the conservatives and labour party in britain. There are the results. There is strategic voting in the second round so it might change, Thatis Second round so it might change, that is the first round. He has brought new blood into politics but a lot of them are upwardly mobile middle class elite, not the people you see at the bottom, the hard right and hard left, they dont represent them, the nationalfront and france unbowed but if he doesnt carry the country with it, they will come back onto the streets. Just a short time ago, another Federal Court has ruled against President Trumps revised executive order, which limits travel from six predominately muslim countries. The ninth Circuit Court of appeals ruling came after a similar decision in the Fourth Circuit of virginia which is currently being appealed to the Supreme Court. This all comes as the us Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions gets ready to appear before Congress Tomorrow to offer testimony about the firing of james comey and mr sessions interactions with russian officials during the election campaign. Well, the white house Secretary Sean Spicer has been speaking in the last few minutes. Lets have a listen. I think the president has been clear, last week in the rose garden, that he believes the sooner we can get this address and dealt with that there has been no collusion, he wa nts there has been no collusion, he wants this to get investigated as soon as possible so he can continue the business of the american people. And im happy to say that ron christie, our political analyst, is safely back here on set with me after visiting christian in london last week. Ron, there sean spicer saying they wa nt to ron, there sean spicer saying they want to get to the bottom of the investigation so it will all blow over. This cloud continues to hang over. This cloud continues to hang over the white house. The white house is looking at the Attorney General having a chance to speak to say lets put Away Misconceptions about Russian Collusion and speak in about Russian Collusion and speak in a unified manner, the only way they can get out of this is if they are forthright with the people. To what extent a re forthright with the people. To what extent are removing away from the issue of collusion, with several republicans and some democrats say will be hard to prove against the president , into the morton are key areas of not just president , into the morton are key areas of Notjust Obstruction Of Justice but of the president perjuring himself . This is why i dont understand why the president said he welcomed the chance to testify. You will get yourself in a perjury trap if you go before the Special Counsel and do not remember everything you said, they can replay that and ask for you telling the truth now or then, so we are moving away from collusion but the perjury trap is a real trap for this president if he says he will do it. Bill clinton got himself into a perjury trap against monica lewinsky, it is often the cover up. And it was a point that Lindsey Graham was saying, the president is talking too much. You may be the first president in history to go down because you cant stop talking about an investigation which if you we re about an investigation which if you were quiet would clear you. And that is the point, he needs to stop tweeting about it. He does. As a lawyer you know the more you talk the more you put yourself in legal peril and this president , it has worked well for him as a businessman to believe people that now you are getting into the world of political and legal jeopardy and getting into the world of political and legaljeopardy and it amazes me that neither his Chief Of Staff or his Attorney General and say, mr president , you are digging yourself a whole and it will be hard for you to get out unless you stop tweeting. So tomorrow we have another grab your popcorn day in congress, Jeff Sessions will testify, he will be asked questions about evidence that james komi gave last week and this idea that James Comey James komi gave last week and this idea Thatjames Comey came to sessions and said dont believe me on my own with the president again. Ifind on my own with the president again. I find that on my own with the president again. Ifind that staggering. On my own with the president again. I find that staggering. From having being a staffer, you need to protect the principle, have someone in the room with the president and the Attorney General or the fbi director, so if there is one person who may have put himself in a bad spot, it is james komi recognising that he should not be in that position, you need to have someone there to chronicle the conversation between those two gentlemen. Ron christie, you could be advising the president. He needs a lawyer to tell him to stop talking. Im staying right here for more on how this is changing established orders, heroes nick bryant. You have written a great piece on the bbc website, we have a bit of it we can joke about the us uk relationship and how all the us uk relationship and how all the chaos here is affecting that. You write a piece which we can show our viewers. What do you mean . There has always been a shared conceit at the heart of the special relationship and it is that Global Leadership is best expressed in english. It is american exceptionalism meets english exceptionalism, and now that doesnt look so good because you have instability and chaos, something near chaos In Washington, on both sides of the atlantic and it seems a vacuum has created, remember going back 70 years, so much of the post war architecture was Anglo American in origin, so much of it stemmed from an Atlantic Charter signed by fdr and churchill in 1941, imf, the world bank, nato, but now it seems that Anglo American leadership is under threat and a void is being created which others are filling. How much does the uk election and the issue of brexit and no negotiations meant to start next week late into britains position cutting itself from europe at a time when getting, for theresa may, close to donald front appears to have negative consequences . Getting close to donald trump speaks of the diplomacy of desperation that britain is practising. It cannot rely on support from its former 27 eu partners, so it has to look more closely across the atlantic and to get a strong relationship with donald trump but that is very unpopular in britain, used so that after the london attacks when he launched up Twitter Parade against sadiq khan, the mayor of london, and it undercuts british leadership because they are increasingly cast adrift. 0ne because they are increasingly cast adrift. One of the great
