10:45 pm
there were a lot of audiences it? there were a lot of audiences that theresa may was trying to appeal to. i think you see that reflected in the front pages. newspapers who would ostensibly be on the same side of the argument, having different takes on this. the daily mail is surely right to say that she is walking a tightrope and trying to bring together her cabinet but it's interesting that it's less ofa but it's interesting that it's less of a headline that would spook leavers than some of the others we've seen. it's very interesting, there are different interpretations of what this speech means and whether theresa may was going for that approach remains to be seen but she's certainly said a lot of things that didn't quite put the details on what she appeared to be suggesting. and so she kept a lot back today as well. we think that's reflected. we found out what we weren't getting,
10:46 pm
it won't be the canada model. speaking of the different way of interpreting it, the daily telegraph, brexit delayed to 2021. this transition period, where we will have the same immigration rules, the same access to markets, and be paying in as well, which borisjohnson said and be paying in as well, which boris johnson said wouldn't and be paying in as well, which borisjohnson said wouldn't happen. you can't have your cake and eat it. absolutely right that different papers have played it in ways that they think would suit their audience. theresa may blinked first, that's clear. as the daily mail points out correctly, it's only a plan, an offer. it's basically saying, is this enough? can we offer you 10,000,000,000—a—year, can you give us a transition deal? there's nothing said about eu citizens and what is said is a reversal of what she promised, that the ec] would have no role in british law. now,
10:47 pm
for eu citizens, rulings by the ec] would be taken into account. she conceded the link between security and a trade deal in the future. she's given away quite a bit. i hear what kate was saying, we don't know what kate was saying, we don't know what we'll end up with but i mean she definitely blinked first. the eu are going to be sitting back and thinking, if we hold out for longer we may get even more. what does it say about her position, how strong is she as prime minister of britain? in terms of the international reaction? or at home, in her own party, how long will she hang on? certainly ministers this evening suggesting privately that the party conference, starting nearly seven days from tomorrow, is still an incredibly dangerous time for her.
10:48 pm
and it still, you know, all about getting through that rather than anything else. internationally, there has been, as reflected on the front of the ft, a muted welcome, especially from brussels but the prime minister of the republic of ireland has said he doesn't think it's going to be enough to move onto the next stage of negotiations, which is what theresa may wants and he's looking for a number of things, including more detail about the irish border. 0ther including more detail about the irish border. other eu leaders would like more detail on how much the british brexit bill is going to be in the end, notjust british brexit bill is going to be in the end, not just the british brexit bill is going to be in the end, notjust the money british brexit bill is going to be in the end, not just the money we're talking about while we are in this implementation period. the times, theresa may agreeing the transition deal, keeping britain in the eu until 2020. i suppose it shows how important tone is. remember what
10:49 pm
theresa may sounded like before the election, it was a much more dismissive no—nonsense tone a few months ago. this ends the facade of no deal being better than a bad deal because quite clearly we are prepared to countenance a pretty bad deal, a lever. i think —— if you are a lever. i think kate is right to say that this is a conciliatory speech because the one at the party conference is not going to be conciliatory, it will be waving the flag and playing to her base, and thatis flag and playing to her base, and that is where the difficulties will be because the europeans are going to think that the bottom line is what, exactly? nota to think that the bottom line is what, exactly? not a lot on ireland, not a lot on citizens‘ rights, is this really the end of the money because there‘s a lot to pay for after 2021? quite a lot of
10:50 pm
difficulties are being stored up for her. but it's pragmatic in some ways, isn‘t it because it‘s saying that we‘ll need a transitional period, we can‘t just that we‘ll need a transitional period, we can‘tjust get out and have nothing to land on. and for business that will be more encouraging than it might have appeared a few weeks ago, albeit the pound has dropped again. that bolsters some of her arguments. getting business back onside, offering them this kind of security will help her with other leaders to make the argument to say that there is, you know, as she put it, a shared future in a more —— and a more prosperous future together rather than apart, effectively cutting off her nose despite her face because you are a bit annoyed at the uk doesn't make economic sense. she'll be helped by that. she has made a significant concession on
10:51 pm
security, effectively doing what a lot of people have asked her to do for a long time on eu citizens' rights, but she has done it on security because in part it makes sense. specially at this stage, if the uk were to look like it is playing politics with security it would be hammered, and practically it wouldn't make sense for anyone involved. she looks like she's making a concession to the eu leaders while in reality, accepting the reality of the situation and not necessarily giving that much. that speech as home secretary before the iraq friend, saying that it‘s a good idea to stay in because of security —— before the referendum. the daily mail, nigel farage saying that theresa may stuck two fingers up to brexit but getting a cautious welcome. does he think that the slip to 2021 means that brexit won‘t
10:52 pm
happen at all? ukip and nigel farage‘s usp is outflanking the tories on brexit and so he says that any concessions given to the eu allow him to say betrayal, to say that she has betrayed us and eve ryo ne that she has betrayed us and everyone who voted for leaving the eu, saying that we won‘t believe in when you said we will be. there is a line here talking about how he says he voted for us to be more competitive, to be global, but we won‘t be because we are praying this money. nigel farage said he didn‘t mind losing some off gdp if we would be outside the european union. he didn‘t quite put it that way. be outside the european union. he didn't quite put it that way. i'm paraphrasing. he said we would have sovereignty without being ruled by european bureaucrats. he did talk
10:53 pm
about the gdp. i don‘t remember the isolated bit. 2021 has also become a very important date because of the snap general election. we are expecting at the latest in a general election in 2022. tory mp, 0wen paterson, very concerned that this new date meaning that they can't strike trade deals and effectively that they can't prove that brexit works because it gives you more competitive trade deals with other countries, in time for the next time they go to the public. i think that's an interesting concern. yes, it‘s all about how it plays out between now and then. the ft, theresa may‘s constructive speech getting a cautious welcome. florence speech pulling back from the cliff edge brexit. but michel barnier, the
10:54 pm
chief brexit negotiator for the eu says that they still need more details and that they haven‘t got anything to discuss. this is all pa rt anything to discuss. this is all part of, you know, the stalled brussels talks are about the government coming up with proposals that the eu thinks are just pie government coming up with proposals that the eu thinks arejust pie in the sky. this is a bit of concrete stuff where the government says that here is a bit of gear. there is a guarded welcome but i think they will want more because member states have their own individual problems with the ideas being put forward by the british government, the irish in particular because of the border problem that she did not address. but it is in their interests to have a trade deal, notjust ours. especially ireland, where its biggest trading partner, its nearest neighbour, it has a lot of citizens living here. it concerns our incredibly serious... but the irish
10:55 pm
by minister is probably facing a general election in the not too distant future. he is only the new prime minister as of this summer and there are votes in talking tough on this. finishing with the guardian. uber losing its licence to operate in london, transport for london saying that they won‘t replace their licence because of public safety concerns. uber has had a terrible couple of years in terms of publicist teeth. and here you find it in this process where information isn‘t handed over to the police and the regulator. we have regulations to uphold standards for people who operate public services, services that are paid for by the public. this looks terrible for uber. i don‘t know why they didn‘t do what‘s required. it probably goes against their business model, that they aren‘t responsible for their drivers. which has worked to the
10:56 pm
tune of $70 billion. city analysts think it‘s a great way to go ahead but for the travelling public where you can face problems and not have accountability for a corporate actor... 3.5 million people use uber in london. it's really interesting, how divided the debate has been today and i wonder if that is as much a sign of the times as the fact we are talking about a taxi company. it does not seem the aren't the wit of man that uber could raise its standards, continue operating in the uk and make 3.5 million customers happy. instead it seems to have gone down the road of looking for people to sign their name on a petition, which isn't really how regulators work. i'm not sure they've understood that much. at the same time it isn't very core to their
10:57 pm
business model. they brought people together with taxes and don't have together with taxes and don't have to rip people off. thousands of people not able to drive for them. that‘s it for the papers. don‘t forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you forjoining us. many started friday in sparkling conditions, that scene was spread over many parts of the british isles until we saw the weather front from northern ireland. st andrews, in the midst of things through the afternoon. you had to be a long way
10:58 pm
to the south of things to hold onto the glorious conditions until quite late. the remnants of the weather front will produce some bits of rain over the southern counties of england and wales overnight. not especially cold overnight apart from the north—western quarter of scotla nd the north—western quarter of scotland where under the clear skies we scotland where under the clear skies we may get temperatures of four degrees. this weekend, saturday mainly dry. sunday has some rain in the west. mild throughout, if not warm. mainly dry because we have these weather fronts close by. there is the threat that the cloud is going to be thick enough across the south of britain for their tv bits of but with time, the cloud is going to drift further north allowing some sunshine in minis and counties, the south midlands and away to the south of wales. further north you are
10:59 pm
going to have a dull afternoon mostly. brighter skies at times in northern ireland and the best unsigned in scotland is going to be in the far north where you may get up in the far north where you may get up to 18, even 19 degrees. those fronts on saturday night will fade away and then we will be looking to the west. a new set of weather fronts trying to push their way into the british isles but they are running up against the high—pressure on the near continent. that. the eastward progress for many central and eastern areas. temperatures may be 21, 22 which is pretty good for the time of year. 0ut be 21, 22 which is pretty good for the time of year. out of sunday and into monday, not a great deal of difference, we still have that weather front in central and southern and western parts of britain. a bit of an onshore breeze to the east but there will be a lot of dry weather. this is bbc news.
11:00 pm
i‘m martine croxall. the headlines at 11pm: theresa may sets out her vision for what she calls a creative, ambitious partnership between britain and the eu after brexit. an 18—year—old man is charged with attempted murder after the bomb attack on a london underground train last week. the taxi app uber is to lose its licence to operate in london, putting thousands of drivers‘ jobs at risk. coming up on newsnight, we will hear from jacob rees—mogg on the prime minister‘s speech and we will be in berlin to look ahead to the german elections.
