good afternoon. the prime minister, theresa may, says the government will take back control of britain's borders when we leave the eu. and appeared to suggest that could mean leaving the single market. but in her first interview of the new year, mrs may said the choice between controlling immigration and staying in the single market was not a ‘binary‘ —either/or — decision. mrs may also said 2017 would be the year when the government will set out more of its domestic agenda. here's our political correspondent suzanna mendonca. ever since she —— theresa may premiership. -- theresa may premiership. brexit means brexit. what form would it take? the prime minister made it clear she did not want to keep bits of membership, she insisted britain could control immigration alongside

getting a good trade deal. what i'm saying, it is wrong to look at this asa binary saying, it is wrong to look at this as a binary issue. as to either you have control of immigration or you have control of immigration or you have a good trade deal, i don't see it as have a good trade deal, i don't see itasa have a good trade deal, i don't see it as a binary issue. she did not go as far as to say whether she would quit the single market. labour says she needs to offer more clarity. she had one question put to her three times and still did not answer it, are you worried ties in immigration over a ccess are you worried ties in immigration over access to the single market, thatis over access to the single market, that is the question she did not wa nt to a nswer that is the question she did not want to answer —— are you prioritise and. we need more clarity than that, we haven't got it. any move away from the single market could spur this ultimatum from the scottish first minister to have a second referendum on scotland's independence. they will be making a big mistake if they think i'm bluffing. we voted to stay in the eu and we were told voting no was the only where we could stay in the eu

and we now face being taken out of the eu. theresa may doesn't want to be defined by brexit alone and is trying to wrestle the agenda back to her domestic plans, what she calls the shared society. it is about us recognising our obligations as citizens within the communities and society that we have here in the uk. it is about recognising that there isa it is about recognising that there is a role for government, and that government needs to make sure it is acting as effectively as possible in those areas where it should be taking action. she will begin that tomorrow with her plans to target the stigma of mental health and there will be more policies around housing and her industrial strategy still to come. israel's ambassador to britain has apologised after a member of his staff was secretly recorded saying he wanted to "take down" foreign minister sir alan duncan. shai masot, who's a political advisor, was filmed by a reporter during a meeting in london, claiming sir alan was creating "problems" for israel and was too sympathetic to palestinians.

our correspondent christian frasier is outside the restaurant where the recording took place. christian. the israeli shai masot is not on the diplomatic list so maybe this is not as serious as it could have been, if he were a more senior figure with —— within the israeli embassy, but he has still talking about bringing down a member of the british government. the conversation took place at the restaurant behind me, and you can see that he is speaking toa and you can see that he is speaking to a woman who is in aid to the conservative minister robert halfon. we understand she has resigned from her post. —— who is an aide. no question this is very

embarrassing for the israeli ambassador to quickly apologised and reassured people this is not the official blue or —— official view of israel, but we know that alan duncan has been a fierce critic of israeli policy and a supporter of a palestinian state. he referred to settle m e nt palestinian state. he referred to settlement policy in the west bank as akin to apartheid in south africa so maybe we should not be surprised that there are some within the israeli embassy who are not very keen on sir alan duncan and not so keen on sir alan duncan and not so keen that he is number two within the foreign office. thanks for joining us. a lorry has rammed into a group of israeli soldiers injerusalem, killing four of them

and injuring 15. police say the vehicle veered off course and hit the group as they got off a bus. the truck driver was shot dead. it follows a period of palestinian attacks which have killed a0 israelis. in that same time, nearly 230 palestinians have died from israeli fire. authorities in america have charged the iraq war veteran esteban santiago following the shooting at fort lauderdale airport which left five people dead and several more injured. there are questions about why the 26—year—old, who'd told the fbi he heard voices and was being controlled by the us government, was allowed to keep his weapon after being interviewed last year. here, credit card and personal loan debt is at record levels according to new analysis by the tuc. it says unsecured debt — that is money that's not borrowed against property — has reached £13,000 per household. unions are warning a slowdown in wage growth and increasing inflation could make the debt more difficult to repay for many. here's our business correspondent, joe lynam. with christmas over, many of us will be poring over our bank statements

to check our finances. in recent years some of us are taking on increasing amounts of unsecured debt, including overd rafts, student loans, credit cards and personal loans. analysis of official data by the tuc shows the average amount of unsecured borrowing per household has doubled since 2000 to £12,900. furthermore, the proportion of unsecured debt in proportion to disposable income hasjumped from 21% to almost 28%, leaving a record total of unsecured debt of £319 billion in britain. we have looked that debt across the board, we also saw about two thirds of the debt is from an increase in consumer credit, so we do think these figures are of course the concern and we do think these are issues which we need to be thinking about as we go into this quite worrying year the people where we are expecting to see maybe another

living wang —— living standards squeeze. the bank of england says that mortgage arrears and faults are decreasing. it might be high by historical comparison, but it has come down in a fairly sizeable way, by about 20 percentage points. what's more interest rates are still very low. but policymakers are worried that many of us who have taken on too much debt could face problems if the economy weakens in 2017. much of europe is experiencing subzero temperatures and heavy snowfalls with at least 20 deaths over the weekend. ten people have died in poland and several in italy where snow has covered the mountain regions already struggling to recover from earthquakes last year. 0vernight temperatures hit minus 30 celsius in moscow overnight with the freezing temperatures

spreading from there through europe down to turkey with the resulting flight cancellations and travel problems. the queen has recovered from her heavy cold and was well enough to attend church at sandringham this morning, her first public appearance since the beginning of december. 0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, was there to see her. the report contains flash photography. it had been a much anticipated arrival, giving and a state bentley was the first time the queen had been seen in public since arriving at her sandringham estate before christmas —— driven in. she arrived just before 11 o'clock, board the morning church service accompanied by the duke of edinburgh. —— before. she had missed church on christmas and new years day because of a lingering cold, and those who waited were pleased to see her. we saw her close up and she looked a little bit frail, to be

honest, but it is nice to see her. yeah, very exciting. when ever you see her you get a bit excited, it is good to know that she was ok. she look quite bright and that was quite nice. the queen's cheech recorded a few weeks before christmas day was one of the last times she had been seen “— one of the last times she had been seen —— speech. she had also carried out an investiture and over the last three weeks she had been laid low. she was advised to stay inside and rest as a precaution to help her recovery. her presence at church over christmas is a set piece royal event and her absence inevitably causes concern and speculation. but royal officials always said this was a 90—year—old woman with a bad cold who needed time to get better. after church the queen was driven back to the main house on the estate and she will remain in norfolk until next month. that is it.

the next news on bbc one is at 6.05pm. have a good afternoon. you're watching the bbc news channel. let's get more now from jerusalem where emergency services say four people have been killed and 15 injured after a lorry rammed into a group of soldiers. 0ur correspondent yolande knell is in jerusalem. what do we know about what happened? the lorry veered off course, it was coming from an area of east jerusalem, a palestinian neighbourhood it approached this bus park which is a popular tourist spot where many buses go so you can get a good view of the old city of jerusalem. there are pictures from the scene, graphic pictures, which show some people were caught under the lorry and we understand from medics that the four who were killed we re

medics that the four who were killed were all israeli soldiers in their 20s. three young women and one young man. police said the driver of the lorry was shot dead and they are treating this as a terrorist attack. we don't know and the investigation will continue, but we have seen lorries used as weapons in berlin and in nice, and this is something that any open country is going to be worried about. yes, this appears to be one of the most serious attacks there has been here, certainly in several months. 0ver there has been here, certainly in several months. over the past 15 months there has been a wave of palestinian attacks on israelis, they have mostly been knife attacks and also shootings and car nabbing is, but this is the first time that a lorry has been used in an attack in this upsurge of attacks. the number of attacks recently had appeared to be subsiding so this is

something which is really going to cause alarm once again. thanks for joining us. donald trump has said he is "very much" looking forward to meeting theresa may in the coming months and described britain as a "very special" ally. the president—elect — who is due to meet the prime minister in the spring — wrote on twitter — "i look very much forward to meeting prime minister theresa may in washington in the spring". "britain, a long—time us ally, is very special!" much of europe is in the grip of a big freeze with some areas seeing temperatures that are colder than the arctic. its led to at least 20 deaths over the last couple of days and there has been heavy snowfall — even in places that rarely see snow. at least ten people died in poland, where temperatures plummeted to as low as minus 1a degrees celsius this weekend. seven people died in italy — after heavy snow hit the south eastern and central regions. five of them were homeless. in the czech republic, emergency services reported three deaths, after its capital prague experienced its coldest night of winter so far. and in belgium, a man died

after his truck slid off the highway. elsewhere in europe the extreme weather has caused travel chaos. the eastern united states is also experiencing harsh winter conditions which have led to fatal crashes on the roads. leanne brown has this report. strong blizzards and heavy snow in romania, paralysing traffic. more than 50 roads were closed because of low visibility, and winds up to 90mph. hundreds of people had to be rescued from their cars. and one woman who could not get to hospital gave birth in an emergency vehicle at the side of the road. temperatures in parts of europe are now below those in the arctic. at least ten people have died in poland, many from hypothermia. as temperatures plummet to —20, the vulnerable are most at risk. the police are checking abandoned buildings for those forced to sleep rough. winter storms claimed at least seven lives in southern and central italy.

towns hit by last year's earthquake face a new threat. here in amatrice firefighters are struggling to shore up dozens of damaged buildings. in turkey, bitterly cold air and heavy snowfall have brought parts of istanbul to a standstill. roads are blocked and hundreds of flights have been cancelled and waterways closed. the big freeze has also hit greece, including thousands of refugees and migrants on the island of lesbos, who are used to more warmer conditions. after ten years in greece, we have snow. our people are very happy! even for those seeking the snow, it proved too much. these people skiing in bosnia decided to head home. translation: we came here thinking maybe the ski track would be ready and that we could ski a little bit, but it is too cold, too cold, especially on our hands.

for thousands of people in america's deep south, storm helena has brought eight inches of snow. at least four people are thought to have died in weather—related incidents and tens of thousands of homes are without power. in atlanta alone 400 flights have been disrupted. many residents are listening to advice which is to stay inside. we will stay home all weekend just because we can. we have wood by the fireplace and are ready to go. roads have been turned to ice rinks and as the storm moves to the north east it's causing traffic pile—ups. for both the united states and europe, forecasters are warning the icy conditions will remain for a few more days at least. a 24—hour strike by london underground workers — affecting up to four million commuters — is due to start this evening.

unions are angry aboutjob losses and the closure of ticket offices. the mayor of london sadiq khan has made a last—ditch appeal to the unions to cancel their cheap strike. —— choo strike. —— tube strike. let's give you a few more details of what could be a chaotic week for rail commuters in the south east of england. the 24—hour london underground strike begins at 6pm tonight. widespread disruption is expected. the majority of central london tube stations will be closed. there will also be a limited services on other tube lines in outer london. and it could be the first in a series of rail strikes this week. drivers on southern rail are due to walk out on tuesday, wednesday and friday. and there are a further three strikes planned for the 24th, 25th and 27th, which could mean yet more disruption for passengers. hollywood is gearing up for this year's golden globes — one of the biggest nights in the entertainment calendar.

the ceremony is traditionally seen as an indicator of which films will do well at the oscars and there are plenty of british contenders. this report by our los angeles correspondent james cook contains some flash photography. hollywood likes nothing better than talking about itself. this year it has gone a step further, singing and dancing. la la land's love interests are played by ryan gosling and emma stone, and the city of stars itself. you've never seen it? i've never seen it. oh, my. you know it is playing at the rialto? really? yes. the next contender for golden globes glory could hardly be more different. he usually can take care of hisself. he good that way. moonlight, with six nominations, is a coming—of—age story. naomie harris plays a drug—addicted mother, and she thinks the industry is getting better at telling stories about people with colour. i think there is a fantastic level of diversity this year, and i think it's something that is so to be celebrated. and it is a shame that we have to...

it almost seems so regressive to have these conversations about race, in 2017 now, that we are still fixated about that. we just want great movies, really. do you think there is a change this year? where do you think we stand? i think there are changes happening all the time. when i think about my career 25 years ago, and starting out, and how few actors there were to fill the very few roles for people of colour, the stories were just not the stories that i guess studios and producers... didn't realise they were stories that people wanted to see. another story that continues to fascinate is that of the british royalfamily. claire foy has been showered with praise for her portrayal of the young elizabeth. what a role to take on. i know, what an idiot! do you know what the royals think of it? no, i wish i did. i wish they would reach out, but we don't know anything, really. i was wondering if i might take danny into town? for what?

a change. in tv, the bbc coproduction the night manager has four nominations. the adaptation ofjohn le carre's novel has won praise from critics and audiences, to the delight of its star, tom hiddleston. when you make something, you never know if it's going to catch fire and ignite people's interests, but it seemed to. and that is testament to the writing ofjohn le carre. i think spy thrillers will be enduringly popular, and he's the master. riz ahmed is also up for best actor for his role in the hbo crime drama the night of. it's very authentic. i think the reality of being caught up in a murder case, facing the slow wheels ofjustice, it's not a walk in the park. so far, there is no clear favourite to sweep the board this awards season, which just makes the golden globes, always keenly followed for clues as to 0scars success, all the more intriguing.

now this morning a 75—metre wind turbine blade was transported through the streets of hull. it's being put up in the centre of hull as an art installation because this year hull is the city of culture. 0ur correspondent in hull, sarah walton. good morning. not your usual piece of art, it is 70 metres long and weighs 28 tonnes and it is a wind turbine rotor blade. you would normally see these way out in sea at the top of a giant wind turbine, so how do you get this into the centre of the city? very carefully. it left the factory wearables built two miles away just the factory wearables built two miles awayjust before two o'clock this morning —— where it was built. it was moved very slowly on the back

of two very special lorries, the roads are very narrow, very tight corners, they had to take down 50 pieces of street furniture, things like traffic lights and road signs, they had to be cut down to make sure there was nothing getting in his way. now we have two large cranes, very ge ntly way. now we have two large cranes, very gently moving it into the exact position that it has been in vision that it has been imagined by the artist. we are nowjoined by the director of the city of culture. why a wind turbine? it is the largest single piece handmade object in the world, they are all handmade, by the men and women of the siemens factory in hull in our case, and it stands asa in hull in our case, and it stands as a symbol of the future of the city, and did a global context, as well, green energy, which is hopeful —— and in a global context. the

artist is investigating that space and the spectacle of putting this object into the historic square and the great city of hull. what about the great city of hull. what about the installation? an amazing thing to witness, as it was coming past the historic buildings, it was amazing to see. a lot of people have been working for many months to make this happen, the removal of 14 sets of traffic lights. the installation isa of traffic lights. the installation is a piece of theatre, as much as when we finally bring it to rest. is a piece of theatre, as much as when we finally bring it to restm was kept secret and no one knew this was kept secret and no one knew this was going to be arriving here today, what the reaction? it has been incredible, social media has gone off the hook. some people think we have done this with c61. this is what the city culture it promotes a debate about what art is and it brings people into the city. long may it continue. this will be here now ten weeks. this square was

filled with a light display for the first week for the city of culture here, what has the reaction been? first week for the city of culture here, what has the reaction beamm has been very good, we had 342,000 people here in seven days which is the most extraordinary response and it shows how much the city and the region is behind this. this is a clarion call hopefully for people to come to hull and see what is going on, this is an extraordinary time in the history of the city. thanks for joining us. people are still turning up joining us. people are still turning up to see this piece of art which has been put into position and we are expecting it to be there around mid—afternoon. are expecting it to be there around mid-afternoon. it looks great, sarah. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. the first of today's fa cup third—round matches is almost over, fulham against cardiff. not many made the effort for this one. the stadium is not very busy. but those who turned

up were treated to a very early cardiff goal. that was the highlight for the home fans. that was the highlight for the home fa ns. stefa n that was the highlight for the home fans. stefan johansen that was the highlight for the home fans. stefanjohansen equalised for fulham before they then took the lead through ryan sessegnon. just a couple of minutes left on the clock. there are four other matches, too, and a couple of opportunities for upsets. chelsea take on peterborough this afternoon, while at lunchtime liverpool play league two plymouth argyle. liverpool have fielded their youngest ever side for the match, which kicks off in just a few minutes. jurgen klopp has made ten changes to the side which drew with sunderland. striker ben woodburn is liverpool's youngest goal—scorer and he is making his first start for the clu b he is making his first start for the club at the age of 17. the plymouth players are soaking up the atmosphere and they are sticking with the tried and tested team, only

one change to the line—up that was beaten by barnet in league 2 on monday. looking forward to it. this is a very good game for plymouth argyle, to go to anfield in front of 50,000 people. we are looking forward to it, the supporters are buying their tickets and ready to go and we are going to take a very good following. we get very good grounds, anyway, nearly 20,000 at times. the experience and intensity of the game will take care of itself. we have a lot of good players on the pitch who can take care of the ball and we will have to do that on sunday. these players want to have success and they want to get a chance, they want to take each chance they get. historical tournament. of course we will try everything to win it. it is pretty exciting and looking forward to it. the fa chief executive martin glenn has been speaking to 5 live's sportsweek today.

and as well as saying there are plans to increase the fa cup to benefit lower league clubs, he's also spoken of reform within the fa itself. in july, sports minister tracey crouch warned that football could lose millions of pounds of funding if it didn't make changes. glenn says they'll start with the fa council. it doesn't represent people who play football today, it's overrepresented by white males who are quite old. it doesn't reflect the people in the game today. that is the opportunity. where we want to go with the council reform, we would like to have a term limit so you can't stay there for life, you might do a few years and then you move on, so fresh blood can come through. bournemouth were dumped out of the fa cup yesterday and today they have lost their loan signing nathan ake. he has gone back to chelsea. he

scored three times this season, helping bournemouth to ninth place in the premier league. and now to cricket. stuart broad's hobart hurricanes were beaten by the sydney thunder. broad took the first wicket of the thunders‘ reply to the target of 162 set by the hurricanes. but celebrations were short lived. fellow england batsmanjames vince made 44 for the hurricanes to help them reach the target with ease, and win by 6 wickets. sir andy murray's winning streak of 28 atp tour matches is over, after he lost the qatar 0pen final to old rival novak djokovic. the world number two was serving for the match in the second set but murray saved three match points to force the final into a decider. the match last nearly three hours and in the end it was djokovic who edged it. despite that defeat, murray retains his number one ranking. that's all the sport for now. time for a look at the weather now.

it has been a very murky day, this was the scene in shrewsbury, and you can see the misty weather. for many of us we will struggle to break up the cloud. we have low—pressure approaching from the atlantic and that brings a change over the next 24 hours. here and now, cloudy and misty, with drizzle, and into the evening and overnight, winds picking up evening and overnight, winds picking up towards the north west as the band of rain moves in. across england and wales, staying murky and mild, fairly dense fog patches around here and there first thing, but behind that cold front to the north west, clearer spells, but behind that cold front to the north west, clearerspells, but but behind that cold front to the north west, clearer spells, but also a few showers across scotland, which will be turning wintry over the hills. northern ireland, sunshine and showers, but the rain will be across much of northern england into wales, with a windy spell of weather. central and southern parts

of england begin the day under the crowd with mist and fog and drizzle. as we had through the course of the day the cold front moves slowly south east and there will be a spell of wet and windy weather affecting many parts of the country and the rain arriving in the south—east in the middle of the afternoon, but towards the north west it is a return to colder conditions, temperatures dropping with a mix of sunshine and blustery wintry showers. the wind and rain clear from the south east through the course of monday evening, and then it will be colder than we have seen as we move into the early hours of tuesday, but enough of a breeze to keep most of us frost free. a few showers in western areas but clear in the east and maybe misting is once again. on tuesday it looks like another largely dry but cloudy day, some rain around on the hills and coasts in the west, anywhere to the east of high ground that is the best bet of catching sunshine, but
