she's pulled out of this month's british championships in manchester with a hamstring injury. kenny hadn't yet decided whether to compete at the worlds. commonwealth swimming champion fran halsall has announced her retirement from the sport. halsall made her olympic debut at beijing 2008 and narrowly missed out on medals at both london 2012 and last year in rio. she won over 30 medals at world, european and commonwealth level. she said stepping away from the pool was "quite a scary decision", but she's ready for a new chapter in her life. the british sailor alex thomson has set a new world record for the longest distance sailed solo in 2a hours, in the non stop race around the world, the vendee globe. thompson covered over 536 miles, which averages out atjust over 25 miles per hour. and having reduced the gap on the leader, thompson could become the first briton to win the race, which he's expected to finish later this week.

iam i am looking forward to it, i have been working hard in the last couple of days in the light breeze. not easy, but just there, of days in the light breeze. not easy, butjust there, it is not too bad. iam easy, butjust there, it is not too bad. i am getting ready for the last run in. i will give it my all and fingers crossed. now, back to cricket and i warn you, these pictures aren't for the faint—hearted. melbourne renegades wicketkeeper peter nevill sustained a suspected fractured jaw when he was hit in the face by a bat during his side's big bash win against adelaide strikers. nevill was looking the other way when brad hodge‘s bat slipped out of his hands and flew into the air — and the handle caught nevill on the cheekbone. he had to leave the field, with his face visibly swollen. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are france 24's uk correspondent benedicte paviot and broadcaster david davies. we will get right down to it, there is only one game in town. brexit. and much to the delight of the daily express, britannia rising to defend the united kingdom. we will get a clea n b rea k the united kingdom. we will get a clean break from the the united kingdom. we will get a clean breakfrom the eu the united kingdom. we will get a clean break from the eu according to the daily express. mae reveals a vision for a global britain. this is how long—awaited speech. vision for a global britain. this is how long-awaited speech. that is right, according to the daily express their will be this clean break and britain will reject any

watered—down departure deal. it will not be half in half out, a bit like you cannot be half pregnant. it will be completely out of the european union. apparently the prime minister will confirm her top objective, britain's future outside the eu. many of the papers mostly agree britain will be a free trading nation, global, outward looking. funny, i thought the uk was pretty outward looking not just funny, i thought the uk was pretty outward looking notjust with the eu. we were noticing the papers do not quite agree. they think she is going to say the uk is pulling out of the single market and of the european court of justice, of the single market and of the european court ofjustice, but they are not quite sure. the word that kept on coming up is nuanced. it is a french word. i don't think you will be allowed to use any more,

maybe it will be illegal. maybe you won't be able to stop it. yes she will. so, basically, the single market is finished? well, there has been, clive, apparently all this briefing has been going on today. but whether all the pundits i have that much better informed, or are going to be that much better informed about where theresa may really stands, remains to be seen. we are told repeatedly by the pro—brexit media that theresa may is i'iow pro—brexit media that theresa may is now ina pro—brexit media that theresa may is now in a strong position. my big worry about the next few months, or dare i say it years, is are we actually going to get proper coverage

actually going to get proper cove rage of actually going to get proper coverage of both sides of the negotiation? the british press, the predominantly london based press, is overwhelmingly and understandably perhaps at this stage interested in what the brits are going to do. but there are 26 other countries who will be part of this negotiation. let's look at the daily mail's frontpage. theresa may unveils a bold i2 frontpage. theresa may unveils a bold 12 point plan for brexit. we will break free from eu judges. david is indicating not 100% clear that we are definitely going to be leaving the single market, although the papers seem to suggest it. the customs union. the customs union is still 50-50, but customs union. the customs union is still 50—50, but she has made it clear there will be no negotiation on the free movement of people,

which means the single market is finished because angela merkel and francois hollande will not negotiate on that either. no, and as the daily mail says, its headline is we will regain control of our borders. that was one of the very big mantras of the brexit campaign, and breakfree from eu judges. let's open a ten second parenthesis. wait this is being viewed on the continent, the former prime minister of france, manuel valls, thank you, clive, is the president elect... we could do a bilingual show... the president elect has given a great psychological boost and that is very good and nice for the government, but the point is it is being viewed on the continent, notjust in germany, but also in france. france

is already in the launching of its presidential campaign and general election and it is very much looking like it as if it is a war. those are the words manuel valls used. it is being used and viewed as a war against the rest of the eu. although the french president is not standing, which is a break with tradition, he is saying we are perfectly capable of organising our own relationships within the eu. this will not make the british government's negotiating position any easier. donald trump thought he was doing us a favour. hang on a minute, iseem was doing us a favour. hang on a minute, i seem to remember boris johnson and michael gove being very critical of the intervention of the us president called barack obama, in

the back of the queue and all that, and now an american president, elected admittedly, is getting involved and it is good news. that is the world in which we live in. indeed, very volatile, but could it have, as seemed to be the case with president obama's intervention, could donald trump's intervention have an effect on the other 27 states ? have an effect on the other 27 states? would it make them even more determined? i saw the word downing street is perhaps in a strong position at this moment, but their big worry is at a very early stage these negotiations get rather acrimonious. anybody who is seen to be staring that up, well, we will see what the price to pay is. that is why i am saying it will be very interesting the coverage of this great brexit negotiation. are we

going to hear both sides? from both sides in the british media? just watch the bbc and you will be fine. the ft has a very interesting frontpage. hang on, we have not got to that. i am just going to pick up on the point you made, forgive me, and it is about how acrimonious it could become. i have not read this in the other papers. the prime minister's team is very concerned that brexit talks scheduled to begin later this year could quickly descend into real acrimonious rows of the uk's brexit costs and liabilities according to the ft. we still owe the eu 50 billion? 400 billion. 40 and 60 billion euros.

that is the front page of the ft which also makes the point, david, about the governor of the bank of england, mark carney‘s feelings that inflation could get out of hand and he will have to raise interest rates. this is the whole point. the economy has gone, it has gone pretty well since brexit, or at least it has not fallen off a cliff. it is resilient. that is the word. the question is what about the medium—term, let alone the long term? there are elements of the economy, for example levels of debt, notjust personal debt, economy, for example levels of debt, not just personal debt, but government debt, and it is not long ago i seem to remember being told about the deficit and that debt was about the deficit and that debt was a really big problem. i understand

that it a really big problem. i understand thatitis a really big problem. i understand that it is now the figures that i have seen seem to be getting worse and it is being parked as an issue. then you come to the exchange rate and at what point, if we have to put up, we and at what point, if we have to put up, we are and at what point, if we have to put up, we are told, with the exchange rate taking a bit of a battering this week with perhaps after tomorrow, will it happen? it has already happened to some extent, but what will be the price to pay for that? what point does somebody in government start worrying? you were making the point earlier that the economy is doing fine after the vote, but that is because consumers are still spending and david has made the point about potentially a bubble and so on and so forth. consumers are for the first time perhaps going to feel the effect of leaving the european union, which is

a rise in inflation. that could affect consumers to the point that they do not spend and the economy goesin they do not spend and the economy goes in the wrong direction. that is what mr carney thinks. yes, that is interesting because it is different to what they were saying only six months ago. i think the government has walked us up a very big mountain today and this speech that we are all looking at and saying, let's remember that theresa may was a candidate to succeed and what happened when we got brexit is we did not get any kind of period, the others drop out and theresa may was prime minister. we saw very little of her campaigning and she suddenly had to come in and bring in this tea m had to come in and bring in this team and she did it really quickly with that famous speech at downing street. but the fact is, tomorrow

there needs to be some real meat on there needs to be some real meat on the bone. on the other hand people say why should she show her assets and strategy? her hand. we will all be reporting on it. very much so. continuing with the ft, david, northern ireland. james brokenshire, the northern ireland secretary has called an election and the power—sharing executive has crumbled. a lot of problems there are crumbled. a lot of problems there a re clearly crumbled. a lot of problems there are clearly despite ten years of devolution. those of us who have lived with the irish problem for all of our lives, and i had a mother born in county galway, my late mother, but i worked for a time in belfast in the 70s, and this extraordinary power—sharing agreement when it was worked out some ten years ago, some of us

always believed it was fragile and yet fantastic, a fantastic achievement which owed a lot to both conservative and labour prime ministers. but now almost with the departure of ian paisley, the death of the reverend ian paisley, and now we see mr mcguinness going as well, you start to see how fragile it was. is that model, where you bring together two extremes, actually maybe it has served its purpose for a decade. my worry is that this election will not necessarily change very much. what happened if it is flipped and sinn fein gets the top job? a very good point. there is a suggestion from one analyst tonight telling me that it is highly unlikely that the dup woodshed that way around. there is no way they

would allow themselves to be in that position. we have to move on. the telegraph, women treated like cattle in maternity units. this is an absolutely terribly sad and appalling and scary story. once you are pregnant, that is not something you put off. you deliver that baby one way or another. there are some very serious things. half women in childbirth are being completely let down to a point that it is actually very dangerous. 50% of new mothers have experienced what are called red flag eve nts have experienced what are called red flag events during labour where you basically do not have access to painkillers, where you do not have a midwife with you, and there is a shortage of 3500 midwives. we have got the picture of this stunningly beautiful bride and mother who was

only 30 years old, and who had an emergency caesarean. it does not happen every day, but that is a tragedy for her family and it looks like there are other really very serious, potential problems. it is very scary for any woman who is pregnant right now. very scary and i fear another negative story for the nhs ata fear another negative story for the nhs at a time like this. all right, finally, the cartoon on the front page of the telegraph says it all as we all await britannia's speech tomorrow. let's see if we can bring it up. there it is. i wish vladimir putin would hack into the uk's brexit plans and tell us what is going on. hopefully vladimir and the rest of the fsb will not have to do

that. thank you very much for joining us. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you benedicte and david. goodbye. the week is starting on a very mild note across scotland and northern ireland, double—figure temperatures for some of us. this was aviemore today, plenty of cloud around, but those temperatures were above normal for this time of year. but in kent temperatures were close to around 4-5dc. we temperatures were close to around 4—5dc. we start the week with high

pressure building in, so a lot of settled weather. we start with outbreaks of rain from various week whether france coming through and some is pushing through scotland and northern ireland overnight. mild with cloud, but in clearer parts of east anglia and south england will see a touch of frost overnight and into the morning. this is eight o'clock in the morning and it is misty over scotland and northern ireland. the temperatures are up to nine or ten. plenty of cloud in northern england, especially to the west of the pennines. it could be damp and christy anywhere underneath this area of cloud. the further south we come we are looking at closer to freezing in parts of south—east england and east anglia. more of us see the sunshine here.

places will be dried despite the cloud. in southern scotland and north—west england and wales there could be some rain. then the temperature contrasts. the further south you get even in the sunshine it will feel quite cold. and cold on tuesday night and the continental air is speeding into the south east of the uk. elsewhere, a few bright brea ks of the uk. elsewhere, a few bright breaks here and there, but it is not as cold. you may still see a bit of patchy, light rain or drizzle. the trend is that high—pressure is in control and it is mainly dry. plenty of cloud. high—pressure stays with us of cloud. high—pressure stays with us into the weekend, keeping things settled until next week. this is bbc news.

the headlines at 11: turkish media say the main suspect behind a nightclub shooting on new year's eve has been arrested in istanbul. 39 people were killed in the attack. theresa may is set to lay out her priorities for britain's departure from the european union in a long—awaited speech tomorrow. ahead of the prime minister's keynote address tomorrow, donald trump tells journalists he wants to help make brexit a beautiful thing. obama said you'll go to the back of the line meaning, if it does happen, that was a bad statement. and now we're at the front of the queue? i think you're doing great. the northern ireland secretary has announced a snap assembly election for march 2. it follows the collapse of the power sharing executive. no—one should underestimate the challenge faced to the political
