And how well are you protecting your identity . A warning that Identity Theft has reached a record high. And coming up in the sport on bbc news, Conor Mcgregor arrives in las vegas ahead of what could be the most lucrative fight in boxing history, against the undefeated floyd mayweather. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Prime Minister says the uk will take back control of its laws, when the country leaves the European Union. The government has published a legal paper on how disputes could be resolved in the future trade relationship with the eu, which stresses that the uk will leave the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice. Ministers have pointed out that the ec] has no influence over the eus trade deals with canada or singapore, so the uk could adopt a similar model. The government has also stressed that the rights of eu citizens living in the uk after brexit will be protected by the british courts. Critics say european judges could retain some influence. Our political correspondent, leila nathoo, reports. It is the eus highest legal authority. The European Court of justice settles disputes within the eu, and enforces its rules. Judgments handed down in luxembourg are binding on the uk and all member states. The government has long been clear that after brexit that will have to change. We will take back control of our laws and bring an end to thejurisdiction of control of our laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice in britain. Leaving the European Union will mean that oui the European Union will mean that our laws will be made in westminster, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast. And those laws will be interpreted byjudges not in luxembourg, but in court across this country. And so today, proposals for a new way forward. New arrangements for policing our future a new way forward. New arrangements for policing ourfuture relationship with the eu. We have issued a paper which shows a number of ways in which shows a number of ways in which it would be possible to resolve disputes. What businesses wa nt to resolve disputes. What businesses want to know is that in future relationships, if a dispute arises, how will it be possible to resolve that . We are very clear, we wont have the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice. Have the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice. We will put in place arrangements to ensure businesses have the confidence of knowing they can continue to trade gcioss knowing they can continue to trade across the European Union. The European Court of justice across the European Union. The European Court ofjustice is the bedrock of all eu institutions. Its reach is extensive. Ministers promised today to end specifically the directjurisdiction of the court. That has punted claims of a climb down. Court. That has punted claims of a climbdown. Pragmatism has won out. The Prime Ministers earlier position making this a red line was always impractical. Now were moving toa always impractical. Now were moving to a sensible position. Indeed we said at the time this is where we would have two and up to have a compromise. The Prime Minister is recognising there will be a role for the European Court, whether its in relation to the withdrawal agreement, the transition period or even post brexit in terms of the ecj law, the european law we have incorporated into uk law. Restoring the sovereignty of our place this place, our parliament deciding our laws, was one of the key promises of the leave campaign. It goes to the heart of what brexit means. Any suggestion European Court ofjustice could still hold sway in the uk is unlikely to satisfy brexiteers. We wish to be independent because european law, european budgets, european law, european budgets, european requirements dont always sued the uk and are getting in the way of progress. We want to take control and that means ending the role of the European Court. Theresa may insists she is sticking to a red line but that could prove a stumbling block in the negotiations. Brussels wants a future role for the European Court and once default matters dealt with first. It wont be an easy ride. So how does the European Court of justice work and what is its role . Adam fleming has been to the court in luxembourg to find out more. Welcome to the ecj, where justice is served eu style. There are actually two courts here. The court ofjustice thats where National Courts can ask for eu laws to be clarified, and eu countries can get into trouble for breaking eu rules and the general court, where decisions made by the european institutions can be challenged by countries, companies, and individuals. But remember, this is absolutely not the European Court of human rights. Thats part of a separate organisation, thats not the eu. So, its not part of the brexit process. That is totally different, totally separate. So, why does the ecj matter . Well, recent rulings, which impact you and me, included a decision that if you fall sick during annual leave from work, youre allowed more time off. Plus, it was the ecj which decided anyone who wanted to access benefits in the uk had to prove they lived in the country. However, the ecj overruled british tax rules, forcing hmrc to refund some taxes back to a number of businesses. This is every judgment from the 19505 to about 2010 in multiple languages. To supporters of this place, its amazing. Transnationaljustice in action. To critics, these are examples of foreign judges interfering in other countries. So, where do we think this place will feature in brexit negotiations . Well, the eu wants a big future role for the ecj, particularly when it comes to the rights of eu citizens living in the uk. The British Government isnt quite so sure. Anyway, case definitely not closed. Adam fleming, bbc news, at the European Court ofjustice in luxembourg. With me now is our legal correspondent, Clive Coleman. In reality, isnt the ecj still going to have influence . In reality, i think it will continue to have influence. The question is, how much . The government reiterated their position, which is not controversial, which is that when we leave eu law ceases to have direct effect. Judgments in the European Court ofjustice ceased to be binding on this country. What follows . Binding on this country. What follows . There will be a bilateral agreement. There will be a trading agreement. There will be a trading agreement. How is that overseen, policed and how are disputes dealt with . There are a number of different scenarios which provide for greater or lesser influence of the ecj. The government makes it clear if it is a bilateral agreement, the ecj shouldnt have sold jurisdiction over any arbitration mechanism, nor should the uk. The point is that the eu position is pretty clear. This agreement is made up of eu law, if it looks like event sounds like it, it looks like event sounds like it, it is the ecj that should adjudicate on matters of dispute. As we are going to be outside of the eu, we wa nt to going to be outside of the eu, we want to trade in, sell our cars, its difficult to see how the influence of the ecj can be entirely expunged. Clive coleman. Thank you. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson, is in westminster that is very striking to hear. Set against what theresa may says. That is very striking to hear. Set against what theresa may saysm reminds us of the complexity . Yes, it isa reminds us of the complexity . Yes, it is a complex process, trying to get rid of a0 years of directives and regulations that bauwens us up with the eu. This document has been pretty well formed. There are some things which are politically quite important in this document. The first thing to state is that the government is saying, it is further uk courts in the future to guarantee the rights of eu residence here. That proved a big stumbling block in early brexit negotiations. The European Commission still wants a role for the ecj. The government wa nts role for the ecj. The government wants uk courts do have that say. The ecj is out. The government is right in saying there will be no direct jurisdiction right in saying there will be no directjurisdiction of the ecj, in the sense they will not automatically follow the rulings any longer. But as Clive Coleman pointed out, it could have a big direct influence. When we get into some of these examples, the government says it wanted it bespoke deal. The president it sets out between other countries and the eu, the disputes panel is they have two Police Future trading arrangements, these are purely examples. Nonetheless, it is a case that moldova, the decision of the eu court, the ecj, in interpreting eu law, is binding on any disputes panel between moldova and the eu. There are other examples where there is a more flexible arrangement. What the government makes clear is that it doesnt have one particular model in mind but wa nts to one particular model in mind but wants to get some discussions under way. It will not be flexible when it comes to eu citizens rights. Maybe more flexible when it comes to future trading arrangements in its relationship with the ecj. Ian watson. Princes william and harry have described their bewilderment when they encountered grieving crowds, on the day of their mothers funeral. Speaking in a bbc documentary marking 20 years since the death of diana princess of wales, they say walking behind her coffin was a Family Decision. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. It was the week when a nation mourned, and the monarchy faced sharp criticism. At its heart were two boys, william and harry, then aged 15 and 12. Grieving for the loss of their mother, but required by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage the public sense of loss. In a bbc documentary, william and harry speak about the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told that their mother was dead. And in harrys case its clear that there still anger towards the french photographers who were pursuing dianas speeding car in the crash in the alma tunnel in paris. I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel where the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back seat of car. And william and i know that, weve been told that numerous times by people that know that was the case. Shed had quite a severe head injury but she was still very much alive on the back seat. And those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs of her dying on the back seat. And then those photographs made their way back to news desks. William and harry were at balmoral when they heard the news from paris. They speak up in support of their grandmother for her efforts to shield them. And of their father, he tried to do his best for us, says harry. Applause. William. Bless you. Bless you, william. When they moved from balmoral to london, they countered grieving crowds. And its clear that they found the experience bewildering. With so many people sobbing and wanting to touch them. Of the decision to walk behind their mothers coffin, both say it was a collective, a Family Decision and both say they felt a strong sense of duty, even then. When you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when youre15, as very sadly many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, it leaves you. You know, it will either make or break you. And i wouldnt let it break me. I wanted it to make me. I wanted her to be proud of the person i would become. I didnt want worried or her legacy to be that, you know, william and or harry were completely and utterly devastated by it and that all the hard work and all the love and all the energy that she put into us when we were younger, would go to waste. They were children, coping with their own grief and the attention of a grieving nation, and who kept going to honour their mothers memory. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. And you can see that documentary diana, 7 days on bbc one on sunday at 7. 30. President trump has used a rally in arizona to launch a blistering attack on Media Coverage of his response to violence in charlottesville earlier this month. The president was accused of failing to condemn the White Supremacists who clashed with anti fascist protesters, and for saying that there was blame on many sides. But the president told supporters in phoenix that the Dishonest Media had been selective in its reporting. James cook sent this report. Tea rgas and trouble on the streets of phoenix. The clashes didnt last long, but for a short time they were intense, as riot police cleared protestors from the street after a president ial rally. The police have formed a line here. There have been announcements telling people to go home, telling protestors to leave the area. For a few minutes it was pretty unpleasant, with some tear gas in the air, which was stinging my eyes. But also, the eyes of the people it was aimed at. For the moment it does seem to have worked. It seems to have driven them off down the street. Inside, it had been an animated donald trump who had rallied his supporters by denouncing the news media. Mr trump quoted himself at length, aiming to demonstrate he had wholeheartedly condemned the actions of neo nazis in the city of charlottesville, when a counterprotester was killed. What happened in charlottesville strikes at the core of america. And tonight, this entire arena stands united in forceful condemnation of the thugs who perpetrate hatred and violence. But the very Dishonest Media, those people right up there with all the cameras. Booing. They make up stories. They have no sources in many cases. They say, a source says, there is no such thing. But they dont report the facts. Just like they dont want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence, and strongly condemned the neo nazis, the White Supremacists and the kkk. If you want to discover the source of the division in our country, look no further than the fake news and the crooked media, which would rather get ratings and clicks than tell the truth. President trump took his war with the media to a new level tonight, attacking journalists again and again. He clearly regards the best way to defend against criticism of his presidency, as a full throated attack on the messenger. James cook, bbc news, phoenix, arizona. 0ur correspondent, gary 0donoghue, is in washington. The president isjust the president is just not giving up on this topic especially in relation to what happened in charlottesville. He is rerunning this time and again over the last ten days or so. And failing last night to mention this crucial phrase about violence on many sides which really was where the criticism of him came. That was the criticism of him came. That was the main point of the criticism, that he did not talk about that last night, he talked about a range of things, having a go at the media, suggesting it had switched off live coverage of cameras including cnn. I can tell you i was watching cnn and they did not switch off live coverage was also threatening to shut down the government if he did not get his way. That Means Services not get his way. That Means Services not being provided, people not getting paid. That could happen in the autumn if he is to be believed. And all shall bash also lashing out that the lead in the country talking about them as having not as good an education as he had and he said i have a bigger and more beautiful apartment than them and i also live in the white house which is really great.
