hello. you're watching bbc world news, i'm adnan nawaz. our top story this hour: in a much anticipated speech, the british prime minister will set out her vision for brexit. theresa may is expected to say britain will make a clean break with the european union, and embrace a truly global future. welcome to the programme. our other main stories this hour: turkish police say they've captured the main suspect in the istanbul nightclub shooting. 39 people were killed in the new year attack. he was the last man to leave his footsteps on the moon. captain gene cernan dies at the age of 82. i'm sally bundock, in business: business leaders and investors are braced for the british prime ministers speech as the pound continues to sink against the us dollar. and we gauge the mood among the delegates gathered in davos,

with the rise of populism are the elite in retreat? just before midday here in the uk this tuesday, prime minister theresa may will set out the clearest vision yet for the terms of britain's departure from the european union. she's been pm sincejuly, after the country voted to leave the union, and having been criticised for not providing enough of a vision of the country's future outside the bloc, this is a hugely anticipated speech. one of the things theresa may will say is that the uk shouldn't be half in, half out, something being taken as a hint she's prepared to take the country out of the single market in order to control its borders and laws. carol walker reports. after months of pressure to tell us more about her brexit plan, theresa

may will strike an optimistic note, telling us she wants a truly global britain, which gets out into the world. the prime minister may not be explicit, but she will again signal that she's ready to take britain out of the european single market and perhaps the customs union too in order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european law. order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european lawli think it's highly likely we'll be coming out of the formal structures of the customs union and single market because that's the way we can illegal the global opportunities brexit presents, notjust controlling immigration but free trade opportunities. shield tell eu leaders: but she'll say she wants a new and equal partnership, declaring: donald trump's offer of a quick, fair trade deal with the uk got the thumbs up from leading brexiteers, but while the president—elect said the uk was so smart to vote for

brexit, those who disagreed want britain to fight to stay in the single market. i think the prime minister must not wave the white flag and give up on our membership of the single market. if she cares about britain's future, if she's going to fight for britain and fight oui’ corner, going to fight for britain and fight our corner, then she needs to be fighting for britain to be in the single market even if we leave the european union. she also needs to indicate the final deal will be put to the british people. theresa may will set out 12 priorities for a deal and she sets up two years of ha rd deal and she sets up two years of hard bargaining with 27 members determined to safeguard the future of the eu without britain. carol walker, bbc news. the whole of the business unit today is like this! everything she says will be important, very much a business story as much as a story about anything else. every company boss eyes beat too, whether they be in this country or a european business leader, they want to know how this

the main suspect behind the new year's eve shooting at an istanbul nightclub has been arrested in a suburb of the turkish city. the attack left 39 dead and 70 injured. the latest from our correspondent in turkey, mark lowen. this was the culmination of a huge nationwide police manhunt that appears to have finally apprehended a 34—year—old man, uzbek national, abdulkadir masharipov, believed to be the main suspect behind the istanbul nightclub attack. in the aftermath of the attack he managed to escape, to flee the scene. there were fears he could have even left turkey, managing to get to areas controlled by so—called islamic state, which said it was behind the attack, but that is not the case. he was arrested tonight in a western istanbul suburb of esenyurt along with his four—year—old son and others. they were reportedly hiding in an apartment belonging to a kyrgyz man in istanbul, so there will be questions of course over his support network that he managed to have. and questions over whether he managed to have support and accomplices for the attack

itself, in which he is thought to have killed 39 people. most of them were arab tourists, some of them also turkish nationals. people jumping into the freezing bosporus to escape. the photographs show him very heavily bruised, being held by his neck wearing a grey t—shirt and bloodied. he's been transferred to police custody now. the turkish authorities clearlywill be hugely relieved by this capture but the greater challenge for turkey going forward is how to secure this country, how to prevent the wave of terror attacks that is engulfing turkey from continuing, and how to step up intelligence so as to reassure a country that frankly feels very shaken at the moment. the leaders of germany and france have defended europe after donald trump praised the british decision to leave the european union. in two separate newspaper interviews, the us president—elect said he believed other countries would do the same, and he also touched on a number of foreign policy goals he's set himself. state media in beijing says china

will take off the gloves and take strong action if mr trump continues to provoke beijing over taiwan. 0ur correspondentjohn sudworth reports from the chinese capital. not everyone in china is taking donald trump too seriously. his inauguration this week comes just ahead of the chinese new year of the rooster. and this factory is making, well, giant trump lookalike chicken balloons. the orders are flowing in, we can barely cope, the boss tells me. but increasingly mr trump is becoming a target of anger... ..rather than a figure of fun. mock—ups of taiwanese ships provide shooting practice at this chinese military museum.

just across the taiwan strait. while us presidents have long avoided challenging beijing's claim to sovereignty, the so—called one china policy, mrtrump says he might. "china's military, especially our navy, is growing stronger, we don't fear us provocation", this man tells me. "we want peace, but if they cross our red line we have to take measures," this woman agrees. last week, in a move seen by some as intended to make that very point, china sent its aircraft carrier through the taiwan strait. and china's communist party run newspapers have issued a stark warning, telling mr trump that if he changes us policy, beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves, and that china will mercilessly

combat those who advocate taiwan's independence. these chinese workers make luxury marble products for the us market. for them, the biggest fear is not rising military tension, but a trade war. their american boss believes mr trump's threatened tariffs will do nothing to change the basic market reality. hiring one worker in the states, that could hire five to six in china. so moving our business to the states would impinge into our margins which would then reflect on consumer pricing. and it would be very difficult to run a business that way. the world is about to find out whether one of the most vital and complex bilateral relationships is to undergo a profound change. before his election, china could simply dismiss

donald trump's rhetoric as the overinflated bluster of the campaign trail. not any more. and china is making it increasingly clear that while it has a lot to lose, so, too, does america and the wider world. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. in other news: police have arrested the wife of omar mateen, the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in orlando injune. reports say noor salman will be charged with obstruction ofjustice. police interviewed her after the attack, believing she may have been aware of her husband's plans. the brazilian president, michel temer, says thirty new prisons will be built in the next year to ease overcrowding. five of them will be maximum—securityjails to house gang leaders held responsible for a recent wave of riots and killings. at least 140 prisoners have been killed since the start of the year. after weeks of delays and violent clashes,

new, bigger denomination banknotes have gone into circulation in venezuela. the introduction of a new 20,000 bolivar note should make transactions easier, and is an attempt to stabilise the country's economy, but some believe it will only worsen the spiralling inflation rate. virginia langeberg reports. venezuelans flocking to the atm lines, waiting to get their hands on the banknotes which the president hopes will help pull the country out of the economic crisis. translation: i hope it works, and that you can withdraw normal notes, and that it all flows well, like before. the new denominations range from 500 to 20,000 bolivars, replacing the most—used 100 bolivar note, which was abruptly scrapped last month by president nicolas maduro, in a bid to disrupt

the black market. the change caught many by surprise, and the transition has not going smoothly. the new notes were supposed to be released in december, and chaos was caused as venezuelans rush to spend the bills before they were taken out of circulation. violence erupted as people raided warehouses in search of food and medicine, left in short supply. the new denominations should make cash transactions easier, but relief may only be short—lived. the 20,000 bolivar note is worth less than $6 on the widely used blackmarket, and some believe the new notes will only exacerbate the country's high inflation. i think it is more of the same. effectively what we are doing is putting more money on the streets, attracting more inflation. the economic situation, that is getting worse, and it will not change. more notes on the streets means more inflation, depreciation in the currency, and nothing else.

the 100 bolivar note will now remain legal tender until 20 february, while the international monetary fund is forecasting inflation to hit over 1,600% this year, and few analysts believe the bolivar will increase in value anytime soon. virginia langeberg, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: i will say to the cubs, it took you long enough! i've only got four days left. president 0bama welcomes the chicago cubs to the white house, it follows their first world series win since 1908. day one of operation desert storm to force the iraqis out of kuwait has seen the most intense air attacks since the second world war. tobacco is america's oldest industry, and it's one of its biggest, but the industry
