In sport, liverpool manager, jurgen klopp, says he has Nothing To Say about Phillipe Coutinhos future as his side prepare for theirfirst game in the Champions League and can you be fat and fit . I have been down to this gym every day for the last 20 years and have never had a day off. I am full of fitness. Scientists say the ideas a myth, and being overweight can increase your risk of a heart attack by around a quarter. More from them later. And the weather. Good morning. Rain going east and into the north sea. Behind that, sunshine and showers. Some will be heavy and thundery. In the sunshine, it will be quite pleasant. I will have more in 15 minutes. Thank you, carol. Good morning. First, our main story. The government is pushing for a temporary Customs Union to be put in place when britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth the way for business and prevent chaos on the uks borders. Thereve been warnings about the extra pressure ports could be under if they face an increase in red tape and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. Today, the governments publishing its proposals, the first in what are being called futu Re Partnership papers to try to ensure an orderly exit from the eu. 0ur correspondent, adam fleming, reports. How to keep goods flowing easily between the uk in places like this, europes second busiest port, antwerp. Ministers will say it is a temporary deal, but it looks a lot like the current one. The eu has one external borderfor like the current one. The eu has one external border for the import of goods from abroad. Is import taxes known as tariffs are paid, they are paid when the tariff enters that area. paid when the tariff enters that area. If. It can move around countries with no further charges and very few checks. The British Government wants something as similaras government wants something as similar as possible to this in march, 2019. It also means products created inside the eu will remain tariff free, crucial for british businesses from cars to drinks. We dont want brexit to come up against boundaries and borders, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes, it could change. But how will the two sides worked together further in the future . The government will propose two scenarios. The first option is described as a highly streamlined customs arrangement. In plain english, using as Much Technology and a Little Red Tape is possible to speed the flow of goods between the uk and the eu. The second option the government calls a new Customs Partnership. That would be an unprecedented deal between the eu and the uk where both sides would agree to do virtually everything the same when it came to customs, which would mean there would be no need for a border between the two. Pleasing everyone at home in antwerp and elsewhere will be difficult. The eu does not want to talk about this until it has settled other issues first. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent, leila nathoo, whos in westminster for us this morning. What can you tell us about these Cabinet Splits . These proposals are designed to counter any suggestions there are splits in government. It is designed to show a united front and outlined their thinking. It cou nters and outlined their thinking. It counters suggestions the government has been unprepared in any way to face these talks. This issue of the transitional period has been something very visibly split in the government. Now we know the cabinet is united on this interim arrangement which the government wa nts to arrangement which the government wants to see similar in a customs way to what we have now. But a lot of critics of the government will say it is having the cake and eating it. That is because there is little proposal among those paper that the government wants to see. They are not allowed to do this if they are members of the custom union as it down to hour stands now. This is designed to reassure business. Labour is saying it does not go far enough and it is incoherent. They say we should stay in the Customs Union if we want Frictionless Trade. As with everything, we have to see this as two sides of the negotiation. This is the governments thinking. Negotiations resume at The End Of August with brussels. We will find out how they ta ke brussels. We will find out how they take it at the end of the month. Thank you very much indeed. And well be speaking to the Brexit Secretary david davis later in the programme. Thats at 7 50. Mudslides and floods in sierra leone are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts of the capital, freetown. Thousands more have been forced to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies thought to be still trapped under the debris, as greg dawson reports. While some stare in stunned silence at what is left of their home, others, with their bare hands, are still searching and hoping. But the grim reality is that beneath the tons of mud, many more lives and homes lay. Amid the destruction, the grief. This man says he has lost all eight members of his family. I first saw the body of my sister. I called on people to help me. We laid her on the floor. Then i started hearing other people crying. Ive lost all of my family. Many died in bed. It is an overpopulated town where many sharks we re overpopulated town where many sharks were crushed by the force of the mud. The red cross estimates up to 3000 people have lost their homes. Those that arent completely destroyed our caked in mud and debris. This is a city well used to heavy rains, but the scale of the damage took everyone by surprise. Many roads and towns are either cut off or transformed into raging rivers. The challenge for rescuers is simply trying to reach those who are still trapped, awaiting supplies of food and clean water. Greg dawson, bbc news. At 8 20, well be speaking to a Relief Worker who is in freetown about the latest on the Rescue Efforts there. You can see, as we were saying on the Rescue Efforts there.

Last week, tensions escalated when pyongyang threatened to fire for missiles into the sea off guam. The fat but fit theory that overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth, according to researchers from two top uk universities. Scientists found that carrying extra weight can increase the risk of Heart Disease by more than a quarter, even in people who are otherwise healthy. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, has more. British Sumo Wrestlers in training for their next competition. Medically, they are classified as obese. But try telling them they are not fit. I am happy and comfortable at around 18 stone. I basically have no reason to lose weight. Im fit, healthy, ive been down this gym every day for the last 20 years. Ive never had a day off. Im full of fitness. Excess body fat is linked to high blood sugar and cholesterol. But some claim overweight people can still be healthy. New research from Cambridge University suggests that, even if a blood test is within the normal range, excess weight is still a health risk. It linked people with bmis of over 25 to an estimated increased risk of Heart Disease of 26 28 , compared to those with a healthy body weight. At the beginning of the study, they were classified as healthy. Then they became unhealthy, and eventually some of them developed Heart Disease and heart attack. Researchers believe excess fat may store Health Problems for the future, and getting down to a healthy weight, whatever your sport, is vitally important. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news. We will talk about that later on bbc brea kfast we will talk about that later on bbc breakfast as well. India celebrates 70 years of independence from Great Britain today.

Lowered. Every indian Home Minister has followed that tradition. India continues as a Functioning Democracy. Not many believed that would happen, thinking it would disintegrate after independence because it is so diverse. The Prime Minister talked about the achievements of india, one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies, 7. 5 trillion dollar economy. But it still faces conflict over kashmir and with china and he referred to a tragedy last week in which 60 people died in hospital, talking about how despite the achievements they have, it still falls short in many areas.

It is 20 years since the Premier League started. We will look at how things have changed. For liverpool it is incredibly frustrating, because the star man, coutinho, have had his head turned bya coutinho, have had his head turned by a huge offer from coutinho, have had his head turned by a huge offerfrom barcelona. He doesnt want to lose his leading man. If you were filming a blockbuster movie, when filming starts, you wouldnt suddenly have your leading star taken out of the equation three weeks after filming has started. That is how he feels with the Premier League. The tra nsfer with the Premier League. The Transfer Window closes three weeks after the season has started. So you wa nt to after the season has started. So you want to go in there with all of your star players and he will potentially lose when this early on. And even if they cash in they dont have a lot of time to spend the money. Liverpool manager, jurgen klopp, says he has Nothing To Say about Phillipe Coutinhos future. Liverpool travel to german side hoffenheim for their first leg qualifying play off in the Champions League, but coutinho hasnt travelled with the squad. The Midfielder Put in a Transfer Request last week, just days after barcelonas £90 million bid for him was rejected. Diego costa has been told by chelsea that he must return to the club before they will grant his wish for a transfer.

Costa has described his treatment by chelsea like that of a criminal and has confirmed he wants to return to spanish side atletico madrid. Police have received complaints over hibernian manager neil lennons celebrations during his sides win over rangers at the weekend. They are also investigating offensive and threatening comments made to lennon on social media. And kyle edmund continues to struggle in the build up to the us open after being knocked out in the first round of the Cincinnati Masters. The british number two lost to portugalsjoao sousa in three sets. The final grand slam of the year begins at the end of the month. I cant believe how quickly the us 0pen has rolled around. It only seems like yesterday we had wimbledon, doesnt it . You cant argue with more sport, i think it is good. We are having a look at the papers this morning. We mention this yesterday. Big ben has gone quiet for a whole four years, and it is all down to health and safety, to do with protecting peoples hearing that were working on it. Lots of mps very concerned. You would think they might have realised this beforehand, but very concerned that big ben will be quiet, and a backlash over silencing of big ben is on the front page of the Daily Telegraph as well. In the picture is of an explorer and tv performer who said he would walk back to sudan jeremy tv performer who said he would walk back to Sudanjeremy Corbyn became Prime Minister. He was talking about following the general election from the caucasus mountains. So that is from the front page of the Daily Telegraph. And this is about a court case, a cyclist who killed a mother after hitting her on a race bike with no break. Lots of newspapers covering that this morning. No brake. Sir philip green blasted after taking part in a Champagne Shower while on holiday. And that the eu could block trade deals for three years. This is about the brexit transition which we have been talking about, and will be talking about with david davis. And donald trump finally condemns white supremacists, after a few days of saying there have been issues on both sides. We will be talking more about the Customs Union and what it means for businesses. That is in a lot of the papers, in the financial times. We have talked a lot about thejobs times. We have talked a lot about the jobs market and Flexible Working and about what can be done to get more diversity in workplaces, and there is a story in the telegraph this morning. It basically talks about how they should be more jobs advertised as Flexible Working according to the equality and human rights commission. It says progress on pay gaps has been painfully slow, and this is a proposal, one of the suggestions of the commission, to address pay gaps especially affecting women. They say all jobs should be advertised as available for Flexible Working. It is hard to see how that would work in practice with a lot ofjobs. And this is interesting. Do you ever put emojis on your work e mails . Interesting. Do you ever put emojis on your work emails . On text messages, very rarely on on your work emails . On text messages, very rarely on an on your work emails . On text messages, very rarely on an e mail. They say put a smiley face emoji on your e mail they say put a smiley face emoji on youre mailand it is they say put a smiley face emoji on your e mail and it is likely to make your e mail and it is likely to make your work mates unhappy, because they think you are in competent if you include a emoji. Only because i dont know where to find them. We are speaking later to adam gemili. Despite team gb hitting their medal target, interesting comments from michaeljohnson, i think we have come to respect his comments as he has been working for the bbc and he says that actually the number of medals won that is something of a concern following the investment they put in. He thinks with £27 million of funding they should have had a better return with regards to millions, and how you assess success. He said that it is something of a concerned and he doesnt think there is enough strength and depth. And two of those came from mo farah, and he is retiring. Exactly, and a lot of fourth places, and interesting to hear that criticism. We were talking about white moose yesterday, and here are some white dogs. I was blending these stories in. Lots of white animals. I wanted the daughters who had been given a kiss of life, but never mind. Here is the weather. Good morning. Forsome of us are weather. Good morning. Forsome of us are pretty wet start to the day. Some rain to come in the south Eastern Parts of scotland but that will clear and for most of us, not just this that will clear and for most of us, notjust this morning but into the afternoon as well, it will be a day of sunshine and showers. We have had overnight rain and you can see it rattling towards the east and the north. Behind it, things are clearing up rather nicely with some sunshine coming through. But there could be some thunder, for example, in kent this morning from this band of rain which is continuing to move into the north sea. The South West England, for wales, into the midlands, drifting eastwards. A dry start. We are looking at 8am, not the current time, and it is the same as we push further north in the Northern England. There are one or two showers dotted here and there. 0ne two showers dotted here and there. One or two showers in Northern Ireland but a fair bit of sunshine, and drying up nicely except where in aberdeenshire and angus there is some rain and that is sweeping North Eastwards into the Northern Isles as we go through the rest of the morning. So through the morning we lose the rain from most eastern areas, then it really is sunshine and showers. The showers are going to be less frequent today crossed Northern Ireland, Northern England and scotland. Some of those could be heavy and thundery. Later we could see one or two pop up in east anglia and kent but most will mist them, and kent but most will mist them, and highs could be 25 or 26 in the far south east. In the sunshine that will feel rather pleasant. Most of the showers fade through the evening period into the overnight period as well. A lot of dry weather, some clear skies, a chilly night than the onejust gone but clear skies, a chilly night than the one just gone but by the end of the night we have the next System Waiting in the winds to bring some rain. And stronger wind tomorrow, courtesy of this area of low pressure. You courtesy of this area of low pressure. You can see from courtesy of this area of low pressure. You can see from the squeeze on the ice above that it will be fairly windy, and with exposure on the coasts we will see gusty winds as well. And here comes the rain moving in, drifting eastwards. But look at this progress across england and wales. Not very fast at all so far most of england and wales we will have a dry and fine day, especially the further east that you do travel. So that all moves east that you do travel. So that all M Oves A Cross East that you do travel. So that all moves across us east that you do travel. So that all moves across us through the course of the night, wednesday into thursday. We will have the dregs of it in the east first thing in the morning. That clears away and we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. The showers will be happy but if you are out the showers and in the sunshine will feel quite pleasant. Again temperatures pretty respectable for the time of year. Down a few degrees for some of us, highs of 23 or 2a as we push into the south eastern corner. 1819 across the north and the north west. Then as we head into friday it is more of the same. We are looking at a day of sunshine and showers, and with the temperatures coming down it will feel that it cooler, with highs up will feel that it cooler, with highs up to 21. Thank you very much, plenty more from carol throughout the morning. Before we went to carol i was saying we would show you some pictures of what they claimed were light dogs, but they are not dogs.

This week, steph is taking a look at Family Businesses, and what it takes to make them a success. We area we are a family, arent we . It is something we are looking at this week. It is interesting, because as i was saying yesterday there are around 5 million Family Businesses. Soi around 5 million Family Businesses. So i went to meet a father and son who run a massive recruitment business. A lot of people might not realise it is actually a Family Business. So the sun is taking over from the father, james reid taking over from alex from the father, james reid taking overfrom alex reid. I went from the father, james reid taking over from alex reid. I went to find out how they are getting on. So how important was it for you to have someone in the family take on the business . Well, if it is going to bea the business . Well, if it is going to be a Family Business, someone in the family, next generation, has to come into it. I said if you get the sunday times next week you will see Yourjob Sunday Times next week you will see your job advertised, sunday times next week you will see yourjob advertised, and that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it. Really, so you had to apply for the job . Well, yes. I think there was an interview with mr reed. It was a joke in the family. A 30 year interview. I joined the business. When he said come and join me, ifound that joined the business. When he said come and join me, i found that a joined the business. When he said come and join me, ifound that a bit daunting, to be honest. Because these are big shoes to fill. And i didnt want to mess it up. As we have a good relationship. Family is important to us both. He thought he would not get a pay rise that he was enjoying it. Negotiation is important, even in families. Where does all your negotiation happen, then . Does it happen at home core or in the office . Is very hard to know where work ends and family begins in a Family Business. It is not clear at all. We always talking about business and sometimes we have to zip it because it is a family function. And we are both very interested in it, so were both very happy to talk about business. What do you think the key is the running successful fa m ily do you think the key is the running successful Family Business, sir alec . I think success is as easy as pie. It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy. I am running out of energy. So how important is it for you to keep the business in the family . Well, succession in the family . Well, succession in the Family Business is one of the ha rd est Family Business is one of the hardest things. And i think it is ha rd hardest things. And i think it is hard going from second to third generation. They say clogs to clogs in three generations. It has got to be right for the individual and it has got to be right for the business. The best Family Businesses are very business. The best Family Businesses are very true to their values, and are very true to their values, and are consistent with their families and are clear about what they are. We had a piece of research which said that 80 of people would prefer to work with a Family Business, and also prefer to do business as a customer. If your Chief Executive is changing, the character can change, and so can the character of the company. But with a family, it is constant. And what about your relationship . How has that developed . What i would say is, and i think this is entirely to my fathers credit, when ijoined the business, he would ask me my opinion and then he would make the decision. And seamlessly over a 10 year period, that would change. I would ask his opinion and i would make the decision. And i dont know how that happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. Happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking melj happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. I make a decision without asking me. I make a lot these days but, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive, because it is a Family Business. But we have never worked in the same room, you know, so we have given each other quite a bit of space. Hardly the same building. He rang me space. Hardly the same building. He u space. Hardly the same building. He rang me up the today and said i dont know you are. I said i am 5a. Let go and they get on really well. And we have had a load of people sending pictures of their Family Businesses. Shall we have a look at some of them . We shall we have a look at some of them . We have shall we have a look at some of them . We have team from haslemere bookshop. There is a mum and daughter and a husband and wife who run that business.

He was a bit scared by it. Kate richardsonwalsh actually got a hockey stick in the face back in 2012, dangerous here is carol with a look at this mornings weather. Some rain is Clearing Kent at the moment. If you are in kamte might be able to hear or see some of the thunderstorms across the english channel. They are fairly spectacular. When the rain clears kent in the north east of scotland, all of us are in for a day of sunshine and some showers. Now, you can see what i was talking about. We have the rain in the south east, some of that is heavy. The rain pushing across scotland at the moment, and behind that some clearer skies. Some of us starting the day with and sunshine, but slowest to clear away from the east of scotland, Clearing Shetland Last. So are the South West England this morning a beautiful start to the day. A lot of sunshine around. It is not cold. 18 celsius, and you can see what we have left of the rain at 8am across the south east, with the re m na nts of 8am across the south east, with the remnants of some cloud as well. For the midlands into wales, Northern England, a lot of dry weather. A few showers in Northern England, a few showers in Northern England, a few showers in Northern England, a few showers in Northern Ireland, but most of us will have a dry start and most of us will have a dry start and most of us will have a dry start and most of scotland will also be dry, barring a few showers, and the rain continuing to drift North Eastwards. So through the day the likely areas for the heaviest showers are going to be scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. Some of those could be thundery, but we will not all see one. We could catch one in the south east through the course of the south east through the course of the afternoon. The temperatures could get up to 26 celsius through parts of east anglia and kent. Yesterday it was 25 in gravesend. Through the evening and overnight most of the showers will tend to fade. It will be a cooler nights on the nightjust gone, under clear skies. By the end of the night, the wind strengthening, The Cloud Building And Rain Coming in from the west. This is courtesy of an area of low pressure with it attendant fronts, and if you look at the squeeze on the isobars that tells you it will be a blustery day. Windy in the irish sea and western exposures, touching gale force. In that it will just exposures, touching gale force. In that it willjust be gusty. The rain will come in from the west, moving eastwards, across Northern Ireland into scotland, getting into Northern England, parts of wales in South West England. Look at this slow progress for much of the West Of England and east wales. It will bea dry of england and east wales. It will be a dry day and there will be some sunshine around. Temperatures down a notch or two but nonetheless not too bad at all. 2223 but it will feel cooler in the wind and the rain. As we head from wednesday into thursday, overnight that band of rain pushing through 22 or 23. Behind the rain, we are back into another day of sunshine and showers. Those showers are very hit and miss. Some of us will catch them in some of us will not see anything, and sticking with the dry day and some sunshine. With the sunshine it will feel pleasant enough. Highs in manchester at 21, aberdeen 19, and highs of 2a as we slipped down towards the south east. And we are looking at a baby box. The boxes are being delivered to expectant mothers. All sorts of things, like these are rather expensive. Infrared ear thermometers. A bathroom thermometer, play mats, all sorts of toys and whites. Nappies, blankets. All sorts of really useful things, as well as, of course, books as well. In the plan is the box itself can be used as an alternative cot. We are speaking to somebody who knows all about this sort of thing in a moment, first lets see what lorna gordon has to say about it all. A first look at a scottish baby box for these mothers and mothers to be. From today, all expectant mothers in scotland will receive a box like this. It doubles as a crib, and contains dozens of the essential items. I think its excellent. As first time parents, i think were probably thinking, what do we need . What do we not need . Its good to know they have covered everything that we will need for the start. I really like the idea of it being a safe sleeping space, and probably for use in the day than at night time, for bedding down, for naps during the day. More than 50,000 baby boxes will be handed out every year. As well as plenty of practical items, they will also include advice on safe sleeping environments for a newborn child, and the scheme will be monitored to see whether it helps reduce infant mortality. One of the causes of cot death is actually when parents share a bed or a sofa with their baby. And that may be because there isnt somewhere else for the baby to sleep. So we think that this box providing us with an Alternative Safe Place to sleep may in fact reduce the rates of cot death. So we are going to evaluate that. At £160 per box, concerns have been raised that offering one to all new parents, regardless of need, might not be the best use of public money. The Scottish Government says every child should have the best start in life, no matter what their circumstances. Lets get some more information. Good morning to you. First of all, on the box itself, did you welcome its . Is it good news . For us, we are just really excited to see the valuation of these 0xus, and to assess whether there is an impact, and whether parents understand more about safe sleep messages. It will be interesting to see what happens. It will be interesting, like you say, to follow that through and gather information on it but there is no proven link, is there, between using these boxes, wherever it is, and reduction of cot deaths. There is no Evidence Based around the use of boxes for baby sleeping, and that is why it an important opportunity to build that Evidence Base that we dont currently have. To your mind, what is still the best way of reducing cot death incidences. Well, the safest place for a baby to sleep is in the safest place for a baby to sleep isina the safest place for a baby to sleep is in a cot, create or basket. But there are many factors cot, crib, or basket. 0ther Decision Making factors, like whether parents are Drinking Alcohol or using drugs, either prescribed drugs or illegal drugs, these will all affect Decision Making about where they place their baby to sleep. Decision making about where they place their baby to sleeplj Decision Making about where they place their baby to sleep. I didnt mean tojump in there, place their baby to sleep. I didnt mean to jump in there, would place their baby to sleep. I didnt mean tojump in there, would you think, then, that because this is an think, then, that because this is an opt in scheme, that maybe some of the more vulnerable mothers actually might miss out, the ones who might benefit the most . Absolutely not. It isa benefit the most . Absolutely not. It is a scheme that is open to everyone, and it will be brought up during antenatal appointments. That discussion with a health professional. I think the fact that these boxes are being made available to everyone takes away the stigma. So not everyone has to sign up for it if someone feels they dont need the box, for whatever reason, they dont need to sign up for it, but it is being made available to everyone to reduce that stigma, so that, regardless of circumstance, we may think that someone lives in an affluent area, it doesnt mean that they necessarily have everything they necessarily have everything they need for their baby, just because of where they live or what they perceived income is. Good to talk to you this morning, thank you very much. If you have a view on that, do let us know this morning. It is one of the Big Questions when it comes to Brexit Will The Uk stay part of the Customs Union . That is the agreement between eu members that allows goods to flow freely between countries. Today, we will have the first glimpse of a real answer from the government. But will it reassure british businesses concerned about a hard, cliff edge brexit . Steph joins us now to explain this in more detail. What is the Customs Union, and what risks does it pose if we leave it . You will hear loads of these phrases talked about. Essentially it is all about the goods that we trade around the world. A Customs Union is a trade deal between two or more countries, where they agree not to charge each other any taxes when they buy and sell goods between each other. The idea is to make it easier to trade. However, goods from other countries outside of the union are charged, and no matter which country theyre going to within the union, they will be charged the same tariffs. So if you are selling something to france or italy, it will be charged the same tariff no matter where it is going to. Often, these Customs Unions also mean that individual countries within it are not allowed to do their own deals with countries outside of it. So, if we were to leave, there would be Border Controls and checks in place, from the day we are out of the Customs Union. So it is all about this agreement of trade between each other, and what they could impose on us if we left. That is what the uk is trying to do, to make it the easiest possible for businesses. You have already indicated this will be a delicate balance. The government is talking about a temporary Customs Union, we still dont know how long for, but is this good news for Business Owners . They want a transition period. The day we leave the eu, they dont want businesses to face a cliff edge where they are suddenly charged a load of money for trying to sell their goods. Which is what the chancellor has been worried about. Yes, because that could increase inflation in the uk, it could cause real problems. This follows a letter from Philip Hammond and liam fox in the sunday telegraph in which they were calling for a time limited interim period for transition, but stressing that the uk will be outside the European Market and outside the custom union. If it wants something close to the Customs Union for the transition, it cant negotiate deals with other countries in other parts of the world. Firstly, there is a legal problem. So long as you are part of or close to the eus Customs Union, the rules do not allow you to strike iran trade agreements. Secondly there is a practical point. The other countries like canada, america and new zealand, dont want to negotiate until they know what the uks future relationship with the eu will look like. They will have to wait some time until they know the answer. And briefly, two different scenarios are proposed. First is to with the bureaucracy, the red tape that businesses will take when they leave. They want a streamlined process so leave. They want a streamlined process so that businesses dont have two fill a lot of forms, and border checks and things on any goods they are selling to and from these countries. That is one option, but it doesnt include services. It doesnt include financial services, which is a big thing that we trade in this country. The second idea is a new Customs Partnership, so creating our own Customs Partnership with the eu. But of course, you know, all of this Needs Agreement in brussels. It is really complicated and there are no other deals that the uk has with any other country. It has to please everyone, which is the tricky bit. And this is not the end of the story, by any means. I will be grey and old by the time this is done. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im claudia liza armah. A man has been injured in a shooting in north london. The 25 year old was shot in the leg on station road in wood green at around 11 00pm last night. He is being treated in hospital for non life threatening injuries. Police are still at the scene this morning, and roads have been closed as a result. I will bring you more on that in a moment. The mother of a woman who died Inside Holloway Prison while on remand is calling for better protection of vulnerable prisoners. 32 year old sarah reed had Mental Health issues when she took her own life inside the facility last year. An inquest found a series of failings by staff contributed to her death. Her mother says sarah should never have been held in prison in the first place. The Ministry Ofjustice says it takes the Mental Health of prisoners extremely seriously, and is increasing support for vulnerable offenders. Changes by uber aimed at allowing its drivers to better control their work and earnings have been criticised as a pr move.

There is still access to wood green station. Nine bus routes are on diversion. Lets have a check on the weather now with georgina. Good morning. Well, it is looking like another warm day today, with some decent sunshine as well. There will be a handful of showers, as well, but i dont think all of us will see those today. This morning, werejust seeing some showers move off to the east, actually, and then we are left with really a mainly dry day. A bit of cloud around this morning, but even that starts to clear, to give us some sunny spells through this afternoon. Some showers bubbling up, but i think many of us will miss those altogether. Temperatures getting up to about 2k celsius. A little bit of a breeze. As we head through this evening, well, that cloud will clear and we are left with mainly clear skies, and feeling a little cooler, as well. Temperatures down to about 12 or 13 across the board, but we may see single figures in more rural spots. For tomorrow, well, fairly cloudy or hazy for the morning, but by the afternoon we are seeing a fair bit of sunshine, and temperatures up to 23 degrees celsius. 0vernight, though, The Rain Sets in, and that takes much of thursday the clear, so a fairly wet day. Were back to the sunshine and showers picture for friday, and that continues into the weekend, as well. There is always going to be a bit of a breeze through the week, mainly west to south westerly direction. But temperatures always in the low to mid 20s, and really, there is a good deal of dry weather around. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Now, though, it is back to louise and dan.

Rain clearing from the east of the country, Clearing Shetland Last then sunshine and showers for everyone, the heaviest will be in scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England. More details in 15 minutes. Thank you, carol. Good morning. First, our main story. The government is pushing for a temporary Customs Union to be put in place when britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth the way for business and prevent chaos on the uks borders. Thereve been warnings about the extra pressure ports could be under if they face an increase in red tape and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. Today, the governments publishing its proposals, the first in what are being called futuRe Partnership papers to try to ensure an orderly exit from the eu. 0ur correspondent, adam fleming, reports. How to keep goods flowing easily between the uk and places like this, europes second busiest port, antwerp . Ministers will say its with a temporary deal that looks a lot like the current one. The eu has one external border for the import of goods from abroad. If import taxes known as tariffs are paid, theyre paid when the product enters that area. It can move around countries with no further charges and very few checks. The British Government wants something as similar as possible to this arrangement for a temporary period after brexit in march, 2019. It also means products created inside the eu will remain tariff free, crucialfor british businesses from cars to drinks. We dont want is brexit to come up against boundaries and borders with this kind of thing, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes. But how will the two sides Work Together further in the future . The government will propose two scenarios. The first option it describes as a highly streamlined customs arrangement. In plain english, using as Much Technology and as Little Red Tape as possible to speed the flow of goods between the uk and the eu. The second option the government calls a new Customs Partnership. That would be an unprecedented deal between the eu and the uk where both sides would agree to do virtually everything the same when it came to customs, which would mean there would be no need for a border between the two. This is just the start, the this isjust the start, the uks reflections about a border between the two in the future. Pleasing everyone at home, in antwerp, and elsewhere will not be easy. The eu doesnt even want to talk about this until it has settled other issues first. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent, leila nathoo, whos in westminster for us this morning. What can you tell us about whats being said about these divisions in cabinet . I think this paper, this setting out of thinking is designed to dispel any notion that there are still splits in the cabinet, weve had weeks of very public divisions over this idea of a transitional deal and what were seeing today is the product of compromise i think, an attempt to put on a united front and an attempt to outline some thinking to counter any suggestions there are divisions here in westminster and that the government is somehow unprepared for these negotiations but i think in the main its also designed to reassure business that there will be no cliff edge, no change in rules at the moment brexit so were going to get this interim period where nothing much will change. But this idea that in customs terms well have something that basically amounts to we have now as members of the Customs Union but the government says with this crucial ability to negotiate our own trade deals with other countries around the world, thats something thats forbidden in the current arrangements and that to its critics looks very much like wishful thinking. Its critics looks very much like wishfulthinking. Labour its critics looks very much like wishful thinking. Labour saying these are incoherent, inadequate proposals at hiding all this talk about whats happening in westminster, we have to look at whats likely to be achievable with brussels. Brussels has been very clear, theyre not going to entertain any discussions about our future relationships without a lot of progress on the withdrawal agreement, things like the divorce bill, eu citizens writes, and the Northern Ireland border issue. But i think this is an attempt by the government to get on the front foot to say we want to talk about the future relationship now, we will see how that goes when talks resume at The End Of August. Experiment indeed, leila. About 15 minutes ago steph did a huge explainer about the Customs Union and you can watch that if you want on the iplayer thanks very much indeed. And well be speaking to the Brexit Secretary david davis later in the programme. Thats at 7 50am. Mudslides and floods in sierra leone are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts of the capital, freetown. Thousands more have been forced to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies thought to be still trapped under the debris, as greg dawson reports. While some stare in stunned silence at what is left of their home, others, with their bare hands, are still searching and hoping. But the grim reality is that beneath the tons of mud, many more lost lives and lost homes. Amid the destruction, the grief. This man says hes lost all eight members of his family. Translation i first saw the body of my sister and called on people to help me and we laid her on the floor. Then i started hearing other people nearby crying. Ive lost all of my family. Its thought most people died when they slept in their beds. Freetown is an overpopulated city with most living on the hillsides with shacks that were crushed by the force of the mud. The red cross estimates up to 3000 have lost their homes. Those that arent com pletely lost their homes. Those that arent completely destroyed are caked in mud and debris. This is a city well used to heavy rains but the scale of the damage he took everyone by surprise. With many roads in freetown either cut off or unusable, the challenge for many rescue teams is trying to reach those still trapped awaiting supplies of food and clean water. Greg dawson, bbc news. Rail passengers will learn this morning how much more theyll be paying for some of theirjourneys from january next year.

The bbcs india correspondent Sanjoy Majumder is in delhi. Whats happening today, sanjoy . The buildings you see me two behind me were used by the British Empire and now it houses the government of india. Me see behind me. Narendra modi addressed the nation. It is something every single Prime Minister has done since independence for a country some thought would fall apart for a country some thought would fall a pa rt after for a country some thought would fall apart after independence, it has managed to endure the Functioning Democracy and the Prime Minister paid tribute to the fact india is one of the Fastest Growing economies in the world but also took time to reflect on some of the problems. The problem of kashmir with neighbouring pakistan, dispute with neighbouring pakistan, dispute with china on the border and also horrific tragedy last week when 60 children were killed in a hospital, an allusion to the fact despite its considerable progress on so many fronts, india still has so much to achieve. We will be speaking more about this later with some personal stories of Family Members who came out of india and pakistan 70 years ago and some of the horrible things they saw at the time. Theyve gone back to see where they came from. Taylor swift has won an assault case against dj david mueller, who she said had groped her at a 2013 concert. His claim for damages, on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false allegations, was thrown out. Hes been ordered to pay a token 1 in damages. Taylor swift said she took the action against him to give other victims of Sexual Assault the confidence to pursue their claims. The theory that you can be fat but fit is being branded a myth by researchers from two top uk universities. Scientists found that carrying extra weight increases your risk of Heart Disease by more than a quarter, even if youre otherwise active and healthy. Joining us now is doctor rangan chatterjee, whos a gp and specialist in nutrition and exercise. Lovely to see you as always. Thanks for joining lovely to see you as always. Thanks forjoining us. We have discussed this before. What do you make of this before. What do you make of this research . They seem to find if you are carrying extra weight, thought to be of these, then this really ca n thought to be of these, then this really can cause you serious heart problems. Of peace. Its well done, its a long study that looks and thousands of patients over many yea rs and thousands of patients over many years obese. There are two conclusions, one is irrespective of your weight, your bmi, irrespective of that abnormal metabolic parameters, high Blood Pressure, high blood glucose, you are at increased risk of Heart Disease but conversely, and this is where your headline comes in, irrespective of those metabolic parameters. So if youve got normal Blood Pressure and normal glucose and normal weight circumference, if you are overweight, despite having normal para meters overweight, despite having normal parameters you are still at significantly increased risk of having a heart attack or Heart Disease. I think the relevance is this. Over the past two years, this growing idea that it may be possible to bea growing idea that it may be possible to be a piece but the metabolically healthy, i. E. Not increase your risk of Heart Disease. This research is really saying thats absolutely not the case and if you are obese, even if you are doing good things like being physically active, we should encourage that, the last thing i wa nt encourage that, the last thing i want is for a headline like this to discourage people. Headlines like this often do that. Lots of obese people often say what is the point . If you are obese, and i know many patients like this who are physically active, they are doing lots of things to improve their health, that is a good thing but we still need to get the weight down. A lot of comments on this this morning. I will read out a few of them. What about weightlifters . They seem them. What about weightlifters . They seem fit and healthy. Videos and health are not the same, fitness. You can be lean, fit and unhealthy if you engage in unhealthy habits, or ofa train. If you engage in unhealthy habits, or of a train. These are all very valid points. These points always, when headlines like this come out. It depends on our definition of health. This is specifically looking at your risk of Heart Disease. This is not looking atjoint strength, looking at other problems that happen when people are obese. It is absolute possible for someone to be ofa absolute possible for someone to be of a normal weight and increase their risk of Heart Disease with unhealthy behaviours. In the same in reverse , unhealthy behaviours. In the same in reverse, you can be obese, be physically active, sleeping well, eating well, and that will be helpful. But they are saying that we need to regard obesity as a separate risk, as we do Blood Pressure, waste the conference and the like. What is important for the viewer is that health is accommodation of many factors. We look at these things in isolation, but if you are obese and you are engaging in lots of other good behaviours, you are likely reducing your risk. It is interesting that it comes back to refocus on weight again. Absolutely. It really comes on this background, the idea has been growing in momentum that you may be able to be obese and not increase your risk of Heart Disease. This is saying a firm no to that idea. The key there is that you dont want to discourage people who are continuing to make efforts. Absolutely, very important. Let us know what you think. You can find us across social media. We have a nice and healthy debate on facebook as well. A good way to put it. Healthy. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Heres carol with a look weve got some Rain Pushing Out of kent, clearing the north east of scotland. A mix of sunshine and some showers today.

This week, stephs taking a look at Family Businesses and what it takes to make them a success. It sounds like it would be very tough. Some people get on and it just works. There are nearly 5 million Family Businesses so it obviously does work. They employ nearly 12 Million People. Yes, there are 4. 7 million Family Businesses around the uk, everything from the smallest firms to some of the Biggest Companies you might have heard of. But most of them share a common goal to pass the business on to future generations. I went to meet the father and son team at the top of reed recruitment sir alec reed and his sonjames to find out what its like to take over a big business from your dad. Hello, nice to meet you. Take a seat. So how important was it for you to have someone in the family take on the business . Well, if it is going to be a Family Business, someone in the family, next generation, has to come into it. I said, if you get the sunday times next week, you will see your job advertised. And that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it. Really, so you had to apply for the job . Well, yes. I think there was an interview with sir alec reed. It was a joke in the family a 30 year interview. Ijoined the business. When he said, come and join me, i found that a bit daunting, to be honest, because these are big shoes to fill. And i didnt want to mess it up, as we have a good relationship. Family is important to us both. He thought he would not get a pay rise, if He Wasjoining it. Negotiation is important, even in families. Where does all your negotiation happen, then . Does it happen at home, or in the office . Its very hard to know where work ends and family begins what do you think the key is to running a successful Family Business, sir alec . I think success is as easy as pie. It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy. Im running out of energy. So how important is it for you to keep the business in the family . If your Chief Executive is changing, the character can change, and so can the character of the company. But, with a family, it is constant. And what about your relationship . How has that developed . What i would say is, and i think this is entirely to my fathers credit, when ijoined the business, he would ask me my opinion, and then he would make the decision. And seamlessly, over a ten year period, that would change. I would ask his opinion, and i would make the decision. And i dont know how that happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. I make a lot these days but, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive, because it is a Family Business. But we have never worked in the same room, you know, so we have given each other quite a bit of space. Hardly the same building. He rang me up the other day and said, i dont know where you are. I said, im 54. Let go theyve got the same laugh, theyve got the same time. Tie. Theyve got the same laugh, theyve got the same time. Tie. You can clearly see that they are brilliant at theirjobs.

The pop star taylor swift has won a Sexual Assault case against ex radio dj david mueller, who she said had groped her at a 2013 concert. His claim for damages on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false allegations was thrown out. Just to warn you, peter bowes report from los angeles does contain flash photography. A high profile trial pitting one of the worlds most recognisable pop stars against a local dj. When David Muellerfrom denver lost his job, he blamed taylor swift for ruining his career. The singers mother and manager had contacted his Radio Station bosses to report that hed groped the singer at a photo shoot. He sued swift for 3 million. She countersued for the assault, describing it in court as a very it was a shocking thing she had never experienced before, she said. Last week, thejudge threw out his lawsuit, saying the dj hadnt shown that swift personally set out to have him fired, but her case against him continued, and the jury sided with the pop star. She had been assaulted, and in keeping with her wishes, mr mueller was ordered to pay 1 in damages. In a statement, swift thanked the judge and legal team for fighting for her and anyone who felt silenced by a Sexual Assault. She said she wanted to help those whose voices should be heard. It gives courage and inspiration to all people, notjust women, but all people, to have the courage to draw lines and to know where those lines are, the lines of Mutual Respect between people. Taylor swift, whos one of americas top selling singers, says in the future shed be making donations to multiple organisations that help Sexual Assault victims defend themselves. Peter bowes, bbc news, las angeles. If youre preparing for one of the festivals in the summer there is one item you can no longer pack. Pineapples have been banned by the organisers of the leeds and reading festivals. The fruit has been added to the list of prohibited items alongside drones, fireworks and weapons. A spokesperson for the festival said they were worried about hundreds being brought on site because fans of the band Glass Animals tend to dress up as the fruit in a nod to one of their lyrics, which says pineapples are in my head. The bands drummerjoe seaward said the decision was fruit ist as other items of fruit were not banned. Can be dangerous, food at a festival, net worth with oasis many yea rs festival, net worth with oasis many years ago, i came out with an enormous pair of black eyes nebworth. There was a point in the concert mid evening and people through food in the air and i decided to head some as it came down, mistimed it, caught something right between the eyes and woke up the next morning with a massive black eye. Theres a clue. Im not saying it was the fruit, it was entirely my fault but there in lies a lesson for us all pineapples, dont take them to leeds or reading coming up on the programme. Carol will be here with the weather. We have an interview with adam gemili shortly but also the rest of the sport, john . The pressure is telling forjurgen klopp already as he looks to see his tea m klopp already as he looks to see his team qualify for the Champions League but he will be without coutinho, who was injured over the weekend, but theres ongoing uncertainty about his future. You can see how annoying it is for him. If coldplay were about to go on a world tour and two weeks in chris martin said he was going to go and join u2 that it would leave a whole. But coldplay might get £90 million for him they could they could get someone for him they could they could get someone else in thatsjust be clear, thats not happening someone else in thatsjust be clear, thats not happening ruined your analogy he could have a huge hole in his team at the start of this season and there will be a meeting of Premier League clubs to shut the Transfer Window earlier so teams when the season starts they know theyve got their players and settled squad, which i guessed might make sense. Jurgen klopp said he had nothing to add on the players future when asked about it tonight ahead of the game against hoffenheim in the Champions League qualifier. Not with the squad though is Phillipe Coutinho. The brazilian midfielder missed their match at the weekend with a back injury and last week put in a Transfer Request, just days after barcelona has a £90 million bid for him rejected. I really understand everyones interest, but i cannot say in this moment i am thinking about it. I am just here and i will answer questions. But on the way to the Press Conference in the car, i did not think about it. Diego costa has been told by chelsea that he must return to the club before they will grant his wish for a transfer.

The opening test of their series against the west indies at edgbaston will start at 2pm with lunch at apm. The game will be played with a pink ball which shows up better under the floodlights, a new experience for bowler stuart broad. The pink ball county round, guys said the ball went quite soft quite quickly. We are going in with a completely clear mind and are learning on thejob, almost. I think the team that will be most successful this week is the team that reacts quicker. Day night cricket a relatively new creation. This is the annual 12 hour lawnmower endurance race, 51 teams lining up to complete as many laps of the circuit through the night in west sussex. The winning entry completing 363 laps of the 1. 41 kilometre circuit by 8am the next morning. Just in time to catch the last hour of breakfast. I wonder what adjustments they make, obviously they take the cutting agreement away. That would be sensible. Just crank up the engine a bit, a little bit more horsepower. Exactly. Lets talk about some fantastic sport. But on saturday night, four british men brought the house down at a packed london stadium as they achieved the unthinkable. Great britians ax100m team ran a near perfect race, beating the much fancied americans to the title. In a moment, well speak to sprinter adam gemili, whos second leg run was described as ridiculous because of its speed. But lets see that race one more time. Commentator the mens four x 100 metre relay. Safely away, cj looks like hes got a good start and hes already taking some ground out of china and going away from france, jamaica a good start and so to the usa. Gemili has the batons, japan are having a good run on the inside. Gemili will give it to the third leg. Great britain still leading and now yohann blake has the batons but now in front, hes going to be chased by the great man, Mitchell Blake is going to get it. Hes coming fast, coleman. Its going to be gold a new british record. Bolt has pulled up. Usain bolt sadly ends in tragedy for him and his team. Great britain have won the gold. Go on nethaneel Mitchell Blake i watched it so many times but it still gives me goosebumps. Adam gemili joins us now from lee valley athletics centre. Good morning. So many congratulations. Has it sunk in properly yet . Thank you. It is starting to sink in now, the actual feeling that we did it and became World Champions against some crazy, crazy fast teams. Yeah, its an amazing feeling really and im so lucky to be able to share that with the other three guys. And share it with all of us. Honestly it was so excited to watch. Youre probably not even thinking with that kind of speed, are you . What were you thinking when you realised you had done something amazing . thinking when you realised you had done something amazing . I got the baton and i was running as fast as i could, i thought get to danny and give him the baton as fast, clean as possible. I could see we were in the mix, i could see we were leading when i looked across. As soon as nathaniel crossed the finish line andi nathaniel crossed the finish line and i could see we had won already on the big screen, i was on the top bend, he erupted and i lost my head because i didnt know what to do. You dream about these things all the time, thats why youre in the sport, to become World Champion and for that to become reality, like nothing i have ever its variants and to share it worked all the fans in the stadium and everyone at home, such a good feeling. The timing has to be spot on, would you call it a perfect race . Nothing is ever perfect race . Nothing is ever perfect but if youre going to get as close to perfect for us as we could then we got pretty close. Timings. It is so difficult to get the baton around at that speed in a 20 metre box. Mistakes are made so easily. Wed been practising and working hard and it paid off. You can clearly see it, adam. Michael johnson describe you running down the back stretch as ridiculous, the speed you went. Yeah. It was one of the greatest sprinters of all time and to have someone like that of his calibre to describe your running in that way, it is brilliant, it gives you great motivation to go on and try and run fast in the individual as well. Im really pleased and he had some lovely comments to say. Exactly what i wanted to ask you because thats presumably where you wa nt to because thats presumably where you want to go next, to be able to nail this kind of speed on your own and win individual gold, is that where you want to be . Absolutely. Athletics is a very individual sport, we are lucky as sprinters to come together and participate in the relay, which is meant to be seen as quite fun but all the sprinters want to have individual medal medallists and with the era of british printers we have at the moment that is definitely a reality, youve got quys definitely a reality, youve got guys like bowled and Justin Gatlin coming to the end of his career and stuff like that. Bolt. It is an open space for people to come through and fill the void. Britain has a good chance and were going to do our best to do that. Give us a sense on breakfast, we see new jogging sense on breakfast, we see new jogging round the track this morning, what is the day like for you . What are your priorities, how much do you train, what do you do . You do get up quite early, you train and the majority of your day is focused around training or recovering from training or getting ready to do a big Training Session later on in the week so you might come and train from maybe 9am, 10am come and train from maybe 9am,10am to 2pm or 3pm and the rest of the day is either getting therapy or eating right and sleeping and making sure your body can handle the work youre going to do because its a lot of running you do even though we are only sprinters, it is quite high intensity. You have to eat right and everything like that. It can be quite intense but i love it. You can see that. Adam gemili, many congratulations. We hope to see you again with another gold on another occasion. What i particularly loved about that was that on that night, there was so much attention on usain bolt. We talked about americans being the overwhelming favourites. Yes, it usain bolt did his leg in, but we had some amazing performance. And came home with a gold medal. That is what it is all about. We might need a little lie down, might and we, carol . Mightnt. We have some Rain Clearing to the east, some showers to follow. Some showers heavy and thundery, the deeply across scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. Where we have the Rain Pushing Out of east anglia and kent, it will drift north east across the far north of scotland. Away from that, a lot of dry weather. A lot of sunshine and just a few showers. Losing rain from kent in the next few hours, lingering in the Northern Isles and shetland through the day. As temperatures rise, some showers developing. India june for Northern Ireland, a mix of sunshine and showers. The odd one will be heavy. For scotland, a bit more frequent, but not all of us will cut one. They could be heavy with some thunder and lightning. Temperature is perhaps a little bit pessimistic, we could get up to 19. Northern england similar to Northern Ireland. A lot of sunshine in between. Coming south through the midlands and into east anglia, down towards the south coast, a lot of dry weather. You could catch the odd shower in is vaguely or kent. A high of 26. Not quite as warm across the south West Of England and wales. Nonetheless a pleasant day, breeze and sunshine. The odd shower. Through this evening and overnight, any showers remaining tending to die away. Under clear skies, a cool mind. Cooler than the one just gone. By mind. Cooler than the one just gone. By the end of the night, the next set of runs coming our way. Introducing some rain initially into Northern Ireland. You can see the frontier, but if you look at the isobars, that is telling you it is going to be pretty windy. Gusts and Gale Force Winds through the irish sea and exposure in the west. Picking up on the rain, that moves through Northern Ireland. Then across scotland, north west england, west wales in South West England. It doesnt make much more progress than this. This is the afternoon tomorrow. For east wales and a lot of england, dry with some sunshine. In the sunshine, feeling pleasant. If you are in the rain and wind, it will feel cooler than the predicted temperatures. That rain crosses us during the course of wednesday night and into thursday. Dregs in the south east at first, moving away quite smartly. 0n south east at first, moving away quite smartly. On thursday, another day of sunshine and showers. Showers hit and day of sunshine and showers. Showers hitand miss, day of sunshine and showers. Showers hit and miss, looking at temperatures of 16 in the north, and up temperatures of 16 in the north, and up to 2a down in the south. She didnt really lie down at all, she was paying full attention throughout. Its one of the Big Questions when it comes to brexit throughout. Its one of the Big Questions when it comes to Brexit Will The Uk stay part of the Customs Union the agreement between eu members that allows goods to flow freely between countries . Today the governments unveiling proposals for a future trade relationship with the European Union but the terms have been described by critics as incoherent and inadequate. Lets speak now to the Brexit Secretary david davis. Thank you for your time this morning. My pleasure. We are asking to be out of the Customs Union but in something which looks exactly like it . Can you defend that position when people will say, is that what we voted for . Yes. On the one hand, people say it isnt enough, and then other people say, have your cake and eat it. It is a pretty simple, practical set of proposals that we have put forward. Primarily, there are two elements. When we leave the eu, we leave the Customs Union. We have to have a transition arrangement which allows British Companies to sell into europe and european companies, who sell £60 billion more than us, into the uk. There is also the long term arrangement. We have a couple of ideas. The biggest and first one is about facilitating, using the techniques we already use in dealing with companies from outside the eu who have to pay customs, using the same techniques to get containers through in a matter of seconds. Using those techniques to make our operation with europe work well, in a frictionless way. It is very practical and straightforward. 0f course, we have to negotiate it. Yes, it sounds practical and straightforward, but what makes you think that brussels will agree to this and say, yes, you can say exactly that . This has been taken some time coming. In december last year and january this year, we were talking across europe to a number of people about the advantages for them. We sell about 230 Billion Euros of goods and services to the eu each year. They sell 290 Billion Euros to us. I was in bavaria a couple of weeks ago. They sell cars, agriculture, electronic goods. They have got an incredibly strong interest in Something Like this. There is interest on both sides, not doing each other harm. All of those things, there is a strong common interest. In saying that, there are some people who say, this has got to be looked at very hard. What is interesting, some very vocal critic, some who represent the European Parliament in these negotiations, they have not said there should not bea they have not said there should not be a transition period, but they have said it should be limited. What we are going to do is to go across and talk and say, this is what we think is in our interest. But we will also discuss what we think is in their interests. How are those negotiations going . Are they more difficult than you thought they would be . No, they are pretty much asi would be . No, they are pretty much as i expected. I have said in the run up that there will be turbulent periods. Bumpy times. We will have public differences of view. Of course, there will be some pointscoring as people try and promote their own position. That is the negotiation. This is probably the negotiation. This is probably the most conflicts negotiation in history, which we have always recognise. There are 27 Different National interests before you even bring the commission and the parliament into it. There are going to be some bumps along the way. The main thing to remember is that there isa main thing to remember is that there is a strong common interest in getting a good outcome. If you go into a business negotiation, as i have done a number of times, you are looking for the outcome that helps both sides. That is exactly what we are doing. Yes, you mentioned 27 nationstates, 27 people who need to agree with your point of view. That is one side of it. It has been reported at home that this has been a su ccess reported at home that this has been a success for Philip Hammonds point of view. Can you please tell us, i understand there are certain things you cant go into detail on, what is the situation in the cabinet . Is there an irreconcilable split of two sorts of opinion . 0ne there an irreconcilable split of two sorts of opinion . One with Philip Hammond and one with borisjohnson and others and they cannot see eye to eye . The reason i was smiling was that there are two different papers, one saying a victory for Philip Hammond, one saying a victory for liam fox. Ithink hammond, one saying a victory for liam fox. I think it is a victory for common sense. In cabinet, everybody wants a good deal for britain. That is the unifying aspect. There are of course different views on elements of the deal. Departments have their road specific interests. The treasury is concerned about the city, business, energy and industry are concerned about research and manufacturing. They have different views. Liam fox wa nts they have different views. Liam fox wants trade deals. Myjob is to make sure that we do all of those things ina sure that we do all of those things in a practical way that works, but also ina in a practical way that works, but also in a way which is negotiable, and we can get an outcome for it. Of course, there are discussions and interests, but we all want the best outcome for britain. From the Labour Party Point of view, it was said that this is incoherent and inadequate. How do you answer that accusation . Look at the labour partys press release this morning. It is basically a summary of our proposal. That is what they wanted to do. That ancient thing about. U nfortu nately, to do. That ancient thing about. Unfortunately, from the labour partys point of view, they have had seven different positions on this over the last 12 months. This is a carefully worked through area, it has been tested out with various other business parties. It is the practical outcome we are seeking, thatis practical outcome we are seeking, that is what matters. That is what im worried about. I am concerned about delivering for all of britain about delivering for all of britain a decent outcome. All the best with those next rounds of negotiations. We will have the National Headlines shortly, but first to find out what is happening locally. Good morning from bbc london news. Im claudia liza armah.

We are going to talk about something we have mentioned over the past couple of days. India and pakistan are marking 70 years of independence from Great Britain this week. But the celebrations are tinged with tragedy. Both nations were formed when the subcontinent was split along religious lines, sparking mob violence in which Million People died. The bbc broadcaster anita rani has made a documentary in which she and other British Indians explore how the horror affected their own families. Lets take a look. My dad told me that there was two men that pulled the boat. Wow, so its this gentleman here . Thank you, its so nice to meet you. I just want to thank your family, and you because you saved my dads life. You helped my family escape. Thank you so much. So when the violence started, he left . He went to track 47. What happened then . Anita rani joins us now, along with binita kane, who we saw at the beginning of that clip. The emotions that you have been through, that there are few, all of you have been on this journey, through, that there are few, all of you have been on thisjourney, so start to see stop lets talk about yourfamily first, start to see stop lets talk about your family first, you went back to the village they fled for their lives, tell us what happened. the village they fled for their lives, tell us what happened. I was the first member of my family to go backin the first member of my family to go back in 70 years to try and revisit the place my father had to free on in terror and i wasnt sure if the village was even still there. I wasnt expecting to meet people who remembered my family and could give me first hand accounts of what happened but was just incredible. People remember watching your who do you think you are family some years ago, you learned about maternal grandfather, tell us about that. My story was tragic but not isolated, this happened to millions of people in this part of the world. My grandfather was with the British Indian army and he lost his entire family during partition, his father, wife, two children, i felt i had unfinished business, iwent wife, two children, i felt i had unfinished business, i went to pakistan where their house was, i wanted to know what happened to his first family, how they died meet you will find that out in the episode on wednesday night. But this programme stemmed from that, i got a huge reaction of the back across the board reaction of the back across the board from reaction of the back across the board from people saying we had no idea about this period of history. Particularly the dish nations saying, we heard granny saying something but we never asked her. How could this happen, within 70 years, people have no idea about this moment. Do you think part of it and again this comes out in interviews that we did, it was so brutal, so many people died, it was such a change of life, so many memories, people may be did not want to talk about. Absolutely, spot on, horrific and brittle, today we are celebrating indian independence, yesterday pakistan celebrated the birth of a nation coming you have these two nations celebrating the birth of something very positive in many ways and so how do you deal with that . Also i think there has been a collective shroud of secrecy amongst that generation, dont you think . How do you even begin to talk about what you even begin to talk about what you witnessed and roger family has been through . And your dad has talked to you about it and talks in the documentary. Would you like him to go back and visitjust too painful for to go back and visitjust too painfulfor him, do you think . To go back and visitjust too painful for him, do you think . We discussed this quite a lot before the show, whether he would come with me and we both agreed it would be too traumatic and painful, what they witnessed and what happened, so many atrocities and to uncover that up to 7o atrocities and to uncover that up to 70 years, would have been psychologically i think, really hard for him so he sent me on my way, was an incredible thing to do on his behalf. I took mum, we were the first members of our family to set but pakistan, i thought i might go for work, ive always wanted to go and actually, mum did a bit of the journey and then she didnt continue, i went to discover what happened to the family, i dont think she would have been able to cope with the level of detail, the brutality. Lets see another clip from the programme. Were about to see hassad, a british muslim, discover the home he was forced to flee as a child. Did you have a balcony . That has a balcony. Hazard . Lets look. So. Recognise it . That was a very beautiful house. Everything gets changed. Here, too there, ithink, it was our house. And we used to live in that. It used to be such a beautiful house, with those lovely balconies and now. It looks like a room, you see . I cant help crying, you know. This is not my country, this is not my house. I dont belong here. These are just four of hundreds of thousands of stories, arent they . The best thing that has happened is the overwhelming reaction we are getting. What has that been like . Incredible. The most moving thing for me is when people say to me, we are now talking to grandma or my mum has opened up and started telling me things she has never told me in her life. People want to know why they dont know because this is a huge pa rt dont know because this is a huge part of british history. This show has given people space to start those conversations, and the huge reaction has been we didnt know. People want to know why it isnt taught in british schools. That has been the overwhelming reaction. From your dads point of view, you have had conversations now you are back, how has it affected him . He is proud, but he feels happy that his memories werent fake in a way because he was only seven years old when it happened and nobody knew if they were just his childhood memories, and what he described was so memories, and what he described was so accurately told by everyone in the village. To hear other people talking about his father, and you will hear what happened to his family in the show tomorrow night, but to hear people talking about it was incredible for him.
