boris johnson was mayor of new york then. he said i would not go to new york for fearing into bumping into donald trump. then johnson picked up on where donald trump in the campaign talked about slowing down and stopping muslims coming into the united states. boris johnson said this guy is not fit to lead the united states of america. yet, here he is on the trip to new york and washington to do precisely that. now what is important here, the trade. he also wants to make sure that british prime minister theresa may is one of the first leaders in britain to come to the united states to meet trump. it sends the message that the united states is a strong ally of britain. they hope she makes that journey in february. donald trump is tweeting it will happen in spring. >> you will read the diplomatic tea leaves. >> reading and editing. they. >>> nine hours of drama on the high seas with u.s. and iran. u.s. defense officials confirmed the navy fired warnings shots at iranian boats on sunday. five vessels buzzed within 900 yards of th

boris johnson has gone to new york. that is where we will start. johnson in the us as may speaks out on trump. the foreign secretary heads west. theresa may was asked about donald trump's misogynistic comments during the election campaign. borisjohnson was critical of donald trump as well and then changed his mind. he might have had some patching up to do? borisjohnson was clearly out of his mind, is what he said, when he was talking about the ban on muslims entering the us but then he quickly changed things around. he said no, the billionaire was a dealmaker and he wants to change the whinge—a—rama. i think it interesting, theresa may speaks out on trump, she didn't actually. it was about his comments about ladies. where men, not ladies. —— women. whatever makes you feel comfortable. she said she didn't agree with it. it was unacceptable. however, he said it about himself and has already apologised. headline here isn't quite right. it's not like johnson is out there because she has spoken out. johnson is out there to meet the team. how imp

the headlines at 11: boris johnson comes under attack for accusing some european leaders of wanting to punish the uk for leaving the eu. if mr hollande wants to administer punishment beatings to anybody who chooses to escape rather in the manner of some world war two movie, then i don't think that is the way forward. meanwhile, the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, promises to seek a "balanced" brexit deal while warning of difficulties ahead. in his final news conference as president, barack obama calls on donald trump's administration to lead by example, to prevent big countries from "bullying" smaller ones. scientists declare that 2016 was the warmest year on record, and man made climate change is to blame. newsnight, the head of the imf, christine lagarde, looks at the brexit strategy. and military support to the gambia. will be defeated but defiant president stand down? good evening, and welcome to bbc news. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has been criticised for his choice of language after appearing to compare the french government to the nazis. he

why is boris johnson here? >> he's here because essentially he's trying very hard to establish relations with the trump team. like many people, the government of the uk did not know a lot about the trump team when they were first elected. the only person who had contact with nigel, the forefront of championshiping for brexit, so boris johnson is trying hard to catch up. he's extremely keen to make sure even if the uk does proceed with a so-called hard brexit in the coming months, then it will still have good relations with the u.s. and the support of the u.s. for the potentially m momentous decision. >> boris and trump have not always seen eye to eye. there was the brush-up during the election when trump described no go zones in london. explain the history. >> essentially, you have two very melodramtic characters who love to hog the limelight, who love to say outrageous things. boris johnson is one. few people who can out-trump trump in terms of his memorable comment. when trump said there are no go errors in l

and boris johnson is off fast growing economies and... and borisjohnson is off in india trying to do that, but he now has been talking about the fact that if there was any punitive actions, comparing that to punishment beatings in world war ii movies. is it really helpful to have the foreign secretary raising the specker of world war ii when he is talking about the french president, francois hollande who warned we would be worse off outside, that's not going to help oui’ outside, that's not going to help our efforts to get a good deal, is it? well, i think the media over interpreted what he said. i will stick to what the prime minister said yesterday. she made it clear, we have set out a positive agenda. she said... but this sort of language from the foreign secretary, is clearly going to upset people in a country that was occupied during the second world war? the prime minister made it very clear yesterday that we approach the negotiations in the spirit of friendship. she made it quite clear that if our european partners don't approach

here, foreign secretary boris johnson policies are drawn up. here, foreign secretary borisjohnson has said it is right that the incoming president of our closest ally should be accorded the honour of a state visit. let's pick up on that point on boris johnson who has appeared in the house of commons in the last hour or so house of commons in the last hour or so to give a reaction. there has been a lot of scrambling to get more clarity and there was a lot of confusion earlier in the day about how british passport holders might be affected. mrjohnson tried to give clarity in the house. let's join our political editor norman smith. a bit more on the day's reaction there? that is true. boris johnson did try to clarify the situation but i think what he will have taken away most from his appearance in the commons was the level of anger from mps on all sides. what many mps view as profoundly misguided policy by donald trump, mps fear full about the impact it will have on relations with friendly muslim countries, concerned about the morality of the tra

the problem, he was supposed to be managing boris johnson's bid for the topjob. having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in parliament, i have concluded that person cannot be me. yes, his supporters wept, on a day that has become synonymous with tory treachery. over the course of the last few days i've realised that while boris does have those special abilities to communicate and to reach out, what he did not have was the capacity to build and to lead that team and provide the leadership this country needs at this critical moment. it left only one other contender. andrea leadsom. the energy minister, and energetic leave campaigner, andrea leadsom. what do we want? leadsom for leader! when do we want it? now! her supporters mounted a bizarre march on parliament, and then she gave a newspaper interview that was interpreted as her saying she would make a better pm because she had kids, and her campaign ground to a halt. i have, however, concluded that the interests of our country are best served by the immediate appointment of a strong and well s

it is quite amusing to think of russians chasing boris johnson around. it must be a dream job that they were hoping for because i am sure they would have a lot of fun. but, yes, what they are always looking for is compromising material. not necessarily to blackmail somebody. it is often to find out more about them or whatever. even those who are well disposed to russia. and that is what the allegation is over trump i am not entirely surprise, however, that the russians have the foreign secretary and the international trade secretary in their sights. secretary and the international trade secretary in their sightsm is not really astonishing. it is astonishing. if you publish —— pitched this idea to a publisher or a television producer, if it had all the details, they would not take you seriously. it seems to me that we are now going back... we are having are now going back... we are having a lovely... a resurgence of the old cold war and spy movies. meanwhile everybody puts everything that they do on facebook or twitter. fake news. kind of staying with

we'll theresa may condemn boris johnson? i do not think so because that would create even more of a ferrari over the comments. you can sense a bit of irritation in downing street after those carefully crafted words yesterday from the prime minister, they will have been revelling in some of that newspaper headlines from that and then exasperation that borisjohnson has given the media some very different headlines in india. they're trying to play down the significance of it, downing street said they still have full confidence in the foreign secretary. a spokeswoman for the prime minister saying it was all hyped up by the media and boris johnson never spoke about the nazis and saying we should look to what reaction there has been from france. well, nothing yet. she went on to say it is not government policy to said to not mention the war but i think that some mps at westminster think that some mps at westminster think that some mps at westminster think that perhaps it might not have been such a good idea to talk about the war i

boris johnson himself called it, a com plete johnson himself called it, a complete flip—flop, but he said, the uk had been unable at any stage to fulfil its mantra that the syrian president should go. now, by boris johnson saying it, it meant theresa may didn't have to, but those are pretty painful words to have to utter. there is more in the prime minister's speech that we've been listening to. she is challenging donald trump, particularly over nato and the un, and the —— i think she's signalling it will be a bumpy special relationship. meanwhile, president trump had other things in his mind than his meeting with mrs may. relations between the us and mexico have soured still further. following a tweet from mr trump suggesting their meeting next week should be scrapped, the mexican president retaliated by cancelling it. the row centres on president trump's plans to build a wall along the mexican border, and his repeated insistence that mexico will pay for it. our north america correspondent nick bryant reports. donald trump's new executive toy. its first ride today on air force o

let's start, alistair burt, with boris johnson. how many times can you get away with these sort of inappropriate remarks? i'm not sure that i would express what he said in a way that he said it. but the point he makes is perfectly reasonable, in that nobody wants to see action taken which would damage the uk or the eu because a good agreement is in both our best interests. but there is a bit of carelessness sometimes from him. let me suggest to you that it is more than carelessness. it is profoundly offensive, particularly for the french who were occupied by the nazis, to make any sort of allusion to the second world war. any time the phrase world war ii comes into your mind is as a politician then the alarm bells or to ring, there is i'io the alarm bells or to ring, there is no doubt about that. i'm quite sure that the foreign secretary understands that. the point he made was a reasonable one, but the language, he's got to be extremely careful in dealing with colleagues like that. do you think that his position as foreign secretar

metro leads with boris johnson's comments causing furry among eu leaders. the foreign secretary said france's president was behaving like a wwii camp guard over brexit. the same story is on the express front page. the newspaper also quotes david davis, the brexit secretary said he would stand up to the eu if it threatened britain with retaliation over leaving. britain's informal trade negotiations is a telegraph lead. according to the paper's sources, ministers and officials are in talks with 12 countries, including china, india, australia and south korea, as well as middle eastern nations such as saudi arabia and oman. the guardian leads on president obama's explanation of why he commuted the prison sentence of former us soldier chelsea manning. we are going to get into that use conference in a moment, but first the metro, ayesha, eu fury at boris nazi dig, what on earth is this about?! yesterday we were having theresa may saying that we were going to take a very constructive approach with our brexit negotiations. right... that seems to have come to a bit

we will have a statement from boris johnson. there may well be an emergency debate if the speaker agrees to that. number 10 appears to be hunkering down, insisting there can be no question of one the offer ofa can be no question of one the offer of a state visit to donald trump. similarly, number 10 believe they secured a result by the reassurances that the ban will not impact on british national ‘s or dual nationals. this morning, boris johnson was tackled on the ban. this morning, boris johnson was tackled on the ban. i will be speaking later this afternoon in the commons. you will have a statement later on. should mr trump be banned from coming to the uk? you will have a statement later on. i will be talking to you in the house of commons. that is the place. house of commons. be there. what about the clarification you were given at the weekend? i would ask you to be so kind as to contain your impatience. characteristically, mrs may was perhaps less forthcoming when she was tackled over the trouble ban quote was attending a

some will be aware this is boris johnson! is there anyone within the eu who is saying well, at least, great britain is expressing a plan for the future that there isn't one from europe?” that there isn't one from europe?|j think that there isn't one from europe?” think the one interesting country that are on side at the moment and it's rare that hungary in this case are perhaps, a country that britain should cherish given on the migration crisis and the right—wing leader, they have been seen to be perhaps the pariahs in some circumstances not taking part in that, but the hungarian foreign minister has been saying today he wa nts minister has been saying today he wants the biggest, best possible deal with britain because he said if they don't, britain will do deals with china, with america, and india and suddenly the eu will lose out if they don't do a trading deal. so he is, you know, rallying to the call of theresa may. but at the moment, there are others, people likejoseph muscutt the maltese prime minister who is say

the foreign secretary, boris johnson, has condemned as "divisive and wrong" president trump's ban on refugees and citizens from seven mainly muslim countries. it comes as a judge in new york upheld a legal challenge aimed at stopping the deportation of people being detained under donald trump's new immigration policy. the american civil liberties union which filed the case estimates that hundreds of people are being detained at airports or in transit. president trump has denied that the measures are a ban on muslims and said that the plan was ‘working out nicely‘. his executive order halted the entire us refugee programme and also instituted a 90—day travel ban for nationals from iran, iraq, libya, somalia, sudan, syria and yemen. politicians here have been giving their reaction to president trump's immigration policy. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has said that president trump's state visit to the uk should be cancelled while the ban remains in place. i think it would be totally wrong for him to be coming here while that situation is going on. remains in place. i think he

boris johnson has said that we could start sketching those possibilities out. he talks about writing on the back of an envelope what kind of free trade deal we can do, which can then be put in place once we've actually left the european union. but anyone who has done trade negotiation now is the last thing they are done is written on the back of an amber lope. i went in a few weeks ago to see some of the officials in the us embassy, for example, the trade deals. they brought out huge legal documents about how they approach trade deals, so the notion that we can sign these trade deals quickly i think is a difficult one to prosecute. borisjohnson is in india, for example, where there has been big clashes on immigration. india wants to have easier access to britain, in terms of immigration into the country of skilled workers. britain has not given that. so on all these deals, there is always tension. britain, of course, as well, was more attractive, maybe, to some countries, because it was a gateway into the eu. that gateway may now be closed, but we must never fo

johnson for example talking about it being divisive and wrong. we had that same message from the chief secretary to the treasury when he spake to us earlier, using the exact same language, trying to hammer home the message that she does not agree with this, and of course a lot of people would have liked her to say that, when she was asked on camera. how big a dilemma do you think it is fourth british government ministers and diplomat to be critical of the us went for so long we have largely walked in step with them? historically, i am struggling to think beyond the rear non—war many exa m ples think beyond the rear non—war many examples where british politicians have been directly critical of the us at the highest level. britain and the us generally have the same values as well, and perhaps it is even get to be in sync when you are both coming from the same perspective. i think with donald trump isa perspective. i think with donald trump is a very different character we have had a couple of occasions, for example with the waterboarding commen

johnson, and reaction to this, we have heard borisjohnson, and britain and america are clearly best mates as we have seen from theresa may's then it, her visit to see president trump, boris doesn't have said it is divisive and wrong. others have said that intelligence allies such as those and, they are severe allies. your macro this is within the past usual remit, there is no comeback from legislative sources. it is good to see you, charlie wolf. some breaking news on this story, that we have just learned from the press association that downing street is saying that both the foreign secretary borisjohnson and the home secretary amber rudd to telephoned their american cou nterpa rts telephoned their american counterparts and you make what is called representations about the us travel ban. diplomatic term that is upping the ante, if two members of the british cabinet are wringing their american opposite numbers, presumably it is less likely given what the official line now is on the government is to say it is fully supporting this, it is more likely to express the reservations that ha
