for ukraine to make, not for us to make with them. ourjob is to put ukraine in the strong as possible position, that is what our conversations today has been about, that's what our defence ministers spent enormous amounts of time coordinating and i think the announcement that you have seen from us today about training marines, helping with provision of ammunition, are very tangible examples of our commitment to deliver ukraine that advantage, that is where all our focus will be over the coming weeks and months. prime minister, the — the coming weeks and months. prime minister, the uk _ the coming weeks and months. prime minister, the uk has _ the coming weeks and months. prime minister, the uk has already - the coming weeks and months. prime minister, the uk has already spent around _ minister, the uk has already spent around £300 — minister, the uk has already spent around £300 million _ minister, the uk has already spent around £300 million supporting i around £300 million supporting french— around £300 million supporting french efforts _ around £300 million supporting french efforts to _ around £300 million supporting french efforts to stem - around £300 million supporting french efforts to stem small. around £300 million supporting - french efforts to stem small boats, but boats _ french efforts to stem small boats, but boats have _ french efforts to stem small boats, but boats have kept _ french efforts to stem small boats, but boats have kept coming. - french efforts to stem small boats, but boats have kept coming. the i french efforts to stem small boats, l but boats have kept coming. the uk is now _ but boats have kept coming. the uk is now promising _ but boats have kept coming. the uk is now promising around _ but boats have kept coming. the uk is now promising around £500 - but boats have kept coming. the uk. is now promising around £500 million more _ is now promising around £500 million more what— is now promising around £500 million more. what makes— is now promising around £500 million more. what makes you _ is now promising around £500 million more. what makes you think- is now promising around £500 million more. what makes you think that - is now promising around £500 million more. what makes you think that this n1oney_ more. what makes you think that this money will— more. what makes you think that this money will be — more. what makes you think that this money will be any _ more. what makes you think that this money will be any more _ more. what makes you think that this money will be any more effective? . money will be any more effective? and president— money will be any more effective? and president macron, _ money will be any more effective? and president macron, if- money will be any more effective? and president macron, if i - money will be any more effective? and president macron, if i may, i money will be any more effective? | and president macron, if i may, do you think— and president macron, if i may, do you think britain _ and president macron, if i may, do you think britain and _ and president macron, if i may, do you think britain and france - and president macron, if i may, do you think britain and france can. you think britain and france can ever— you think britain and france can ever be — you think britain and france can ever be as — you think britain and france can ever be as close _ you think britain and france can ever be as close as _ you think britain and france can ever be as close as they- you think britain and france can ever be as close as they before | ever be as close as they before

especially since last november, has really made a difference. the announcements we've made today will make an even bigger difference going forward. i have always been clear, there is no one solution to solving this very completed problem and nor will it be solved overnight. our new legislation will help and have always said cooperation with our allies especially france is an important part of that. but where we can make investments alongside emmanuel in france, we arejointly investing in all these operations, or indeed of string —— upstream, to disrupt criminal gangs whether it is in the balkans or anywhere else, there is good investments for the uk to make if they stop people coming and reduce the pressure on our southern system and our hotels and i actually think the agreements today represent a very positive step forward, the level of cooperation and integration is going to make a difference and i think we are confident, ourteams difference and i think we are confident, our teams are confident that you will see the benefit of that you will see the benefit of that on the ground, that's what we are going to deliver.—

studio: difficulties with... studioz, difficulties with... studio:, as you have been saying, the french president emmanuel macron and the uk by minister rishi sunak giving a news conference. they covered a huge amount of topics there, but one of the themes that seemed to emerge was talking about how this was a new beginning in anglo—french relations. they talked about having a shared history and geography and common values, there was a lot of attention given, as we had expected, to how to deal with migration, immigration, illegal boat crossings across the channel, with the announcement that the uk will for the first time fund a migrant detention centre in france, funding around half £1 billion over the next three years for that, and a lot more discussion including about relations post—brexit. what we will do is say goodbye to our viewers on bbc world. you're watching bbc news.

so let's discuss marco molla to discuss in that news conference and rob watson is still here with us. so, the idea was to give the impression of being completely in sync and it worked. they even had the same phrases of new beginnings and shared history and geography. one of the few advantages i can figure out our being as ancient as i am, about 30 odd years of watching leaders to these kind of news conferences and i was scratching my head going all the way back to margaret thatcher and ronald reagan, tony blair and george w bush, and they got on, but actually, i think rarely have i seen in the last 30 odd years to leaders get on quite way that they did. i think it's partly because clearly, both sides were absolutely determined, as they made clear, they both used that word

new beginning, both were determined to press the reset button, both obviously take the view that france and the uk have these common threats that are really huge, but maybe it's also because they have a similar age and they both give off that kind of, what would you call it, technocrat vibe, but these people are smartly dressed, they both worked for the banking system and they clearly have a lot in common. find banking system and they clearly have a lot in common.— a lot in common. and one of those shared threats _ a lot in common. and one of those shared threats that _ a lot in common. and one of those shared threats that you _ a lot in common. and one of those| shared threats that you mentioned, a lot in common. and one of those i shared threats that you mentioned, i suppose they would see it, is how to tackle illegal migration. and so, from that, we've got this announcement of that new funding in the new detention centre, how much of that is a continuation of what been before and how much does this actually mark a bit of a shift? i actually mark a bit of a shift? 1 think it's more of a actually mark a bit of a shift? i think it's more of a continuation in a radical departure, because what you are looking at is more of the same in the sense that it's about detention, it's about shared police operations, it's about more technology, i think there is talk of

using more drones and head of a joint command centre, that's not to disparage or make a remark about that, but in terms of, is it a continuation or is it a radical departure, it's a continuation. you saw both of them saying that what they have done so far had had an effect, i think they said they had broken up 50 gangs, jailed 500 people and stopped a number of boats leaving by 50%. critics would say it is because it is more of this and that you will probably see more of the same in terms of results but i think both sides will feel happy that they are continuing with their police cooperation. but of course, interesting as well that president macron did say, look, you need to have a broader approach we will need to figure out a more holistic approach to it.— to figure out a more holistic a- roach to it. ., ,, , approach to it. one of the issues that we were _ approach to it. one of the issues that we were not _ approach to it. one of the issues that we were not expecting i approach to it. one of the issues that we were not expecting to i that we were not expecting to feature in the news conference, and didn't but was raised by the bbc lytical editor chris mason was this question about the so—called return

policy of any migrants found on the channel crossing is being returned to the previous safe country. and it didn't necessarily reveal much about whether that was likely to change, dated? i whether that was likely to change, dated? ~ whether that was likely to change, dated? ,, , ., , ., ., ., whether that was likely to change, dated? ., ., ., , dated? i think people have got a bit ofthe dated? i think people have got a bit of the wrong _ dated? i think people have got a bit of the wrong end of— dated? i think people have got a bit of the wrong end of the _ dated? i think people have got a bit of the wrong end of the stick- of the wrong end of the stick because this one because there has been a bit of build—up particulars in the british media, if there isn't an agreement on the return of migrant, it's a failure, britain will have failed, but the point the french would make, and others would make, indeed britain would make, is that since britain left the european union, since brexit, the whole issue of how you deal with migrants, how you move them around is an eu level question, a question of eu level competence of the point that macron was making is that it is going to be an issue and returning migrants will not be bilateral, it is with the whole of the eu. and actually britain did try and did that during the brexit negotiations but it didn't work because the europeans said we were not prepared to give enoughin said we were not prepared to give enough in return. find

said we were not prepared to give enough in return.— enough in return. and as you say, president macron _ enough in return. and as you say, president macron mentioning i enough in return. and as you say, j president macron mentioning that enough in return. and as you say, i president macron mentioning that was something that was, there would have to be negotiated with the eu and not france per se. 0n the subject of brexit, one of the things that they kept talking about was how this is a restoration of relations, that were impaired by brexit, and it was interesting that president macron talked about fixing the consequences of brexit. . ., talked about fixing the consequences of brexit. , ., ., , of brexit. yes, i thought it was fascinating. — of brexit. yes, i thought it was fascinating, clearly _ of brexit. yes, i thought it was fascinating, clearly both i of brexit. yes, i thought it was fascinating, clearly both sidesl of brexit. yes, i thought it was i fascinating, clearly both sides want to press the reset button but one president was asked if he thought they could be as good a body to britain as before, the answer revealed something which britain's allies think and they continue to think that leaving the eu was a terrible mistake. you can agree or disagree, but the tone of the answer made pretty clear that that is certainly what france thinks, they thought it in the past and continue to think but it's also quite clear from a news conference that even though france and president macron continues to think of brexit as a

mistake, they are not going to let
