the bride and groom were going to play a recording of pachelbel‘s canon, but ended up with the real thing. i think it was just the impact that it had, like, when they started, like, it sort of took your breath away. oh, yeah. yeah. very unexpected. it was a nice surprise. some of the guests couldn't get there because of the snow. because a lot of people had to cancel, it was a bit of an upset on the day. but then itjust sort of made it... made it special again. the orchestra usually plays for huge audiences in venues like the royal albert hall. but their show in snowy skegness is one they'll never forget. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's phil avery. just what you need, someone selling you more aware there. i am going to show you the totals with regards to

lying snow depths. 52 centimetres of snow just lying snow depths. 52 centimetres of snowjust outside cardiff. noti million miles behind is bishop time. no great surprise, still this brutal easterly dominating the scene. this low pressure in the south west is beginning to become a real player because it is throwing up quite a significant band of snow into the southern half of the british isles. further north you have more snow showers in northern and eastern areas. these thermometer temperatures are academic. we are still well down below zero. there has been an incursion of relatively mild air in the far south and that causes a problem with freezing rain. 10-15 causes a problem with freezing rain. 10—15 centimetres over the high ground of wales as that of snow eases further north. by roundabout late evening and overnight it will

be pushing into the north midlands and the north east of england. further north there are more snow showers on another cold night. how are we shaping up for the weekend? it is still cold in the north, milder in the south, and there is still a further risk of snow. we have been looking for scandinavia for that high pressure, but it is into the south west and with this low pressure that will be the major player this weekend. pretty leaden skies. watch out for eyes across southern pies as we start the new day. that rainfall will be falling onto cold surfaces and there will be fog as well. further north you are still stuck in a pretty cold regime. there will be showers here. this is sunday, so watch out for eyes first thing. a bit of snow perhaps moving into the eastern side of england up into the eastern side of england up into scotland. further south there

is rainfall by day, but watch out for this process of freezing and thawing. we are getting the temperatures into the heart of next week that closely to where they should be at this time of the year. but in the short term you still have to be thinking about winter and what we have had rather than what is to come. we have had rather than what is to come. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon. a very good afternoon to you. you are still watching bbc news where in the next few minutes we are waiting to hear from the the next few minutes we are waiting to hearfrom the prime minister theresa may. she is in the city of london and we are going to be listening to what is billed as a major speech. it is about future relations, what the government sees

as the future relationship that this country should have with the eu wa nts country should have with the eu wants britain has left the eu. in march 2019. watch very keenly by people on both sides of the debate, of course and as we were hearing from our correspondent in brussels, perhaps watch them even more keenly over there. britain wants trade talks to get underway properly as $0011 talks to get underway properly as 50011 as talks to get underway properly as soon as possible and brussels, we know, is looking for detail. that is what they want to hear from theresa may in the next few minutes. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at the venue. we will be looking forward to that speech, of course. what does she want to achieve here, vicky? it feels a bit like the florence speech. when she made that speech

did shift the mood. it came across as more conciliatory and it did move talks on. i think that is what is required here. she wants to talk about future trade arrangements and about future trade arrangements and a future relationship with the european union, something that the eu haven't wanted to talk about up until now. there will be some more detail and i think there may be some more of that about exactly how she sees as idea that the uk could diverged from the eu in some areas but stick close to them in others. there may be some fleshing out of that idea but i do think the tone is actually going to be more important in all of this. whether this is a big vision for life outside the european union or whether this is actually about pragmatism, about practical politics and what can actually be negotiated, will would the european union be willing to agree to and what about parliament? parliament is divided as well. we

know there will be a final vote for 01’ know there will be a final vote for or against any kind of deal that she has. so she must have that in her mind as well as a division she has in her own party. i think all of that will be there today. people are watching it very closely as you say. the reaction from brussels will be crucial. they react in a positive way like they did in florence and say, "we do see a shift it." and in the last para so we have seen a former minister saying that she would find it rather uncomfortable and rather uncomfortable for the pro brexit side of the party. we talked a lot about having cake and eating it and were there today be more of an acknowledgements, one we didn't really get during the general election campaign when theresa may spoke a lot about brexit means brexit and nothing more than that. perhaps today will be the first sign

that there has to be compromises. that is what everyone has known all a long but it hasn't been mentioned much. thank you, vicky. vicky young will be listening to that speech for us. we want to listen to the prime minister but let's try and squeeze ina minister but let's try and squeeze in a little bit of sport before that. there has been terrible injury news for gymnast claudia fragapane. she has snapped her achilles tendon and is out of next month's commonwealth games. she says she's heartbroken and doesn't know when she'll be competing again. fragapane was one of the stars for england at the last games in glasgow, where she won four gold medals. great britain'sjonny brownlee has crashed in the opening event of the world triathlon series in abu dhabi. he was leading in the early stages of the cycling leg before he slid off the road in wet conditions. he eventually finished seventh, with henri schoeman of south africa taking the honours. alistair brownlee missed the race through injury. katerina johnson thompson

is leading the pentathlon, after two events at the world indoor athletics championships in birmingham. she performed well in the highjump with a height of 1.91m, but that was still some way off her best. she's got the shot put next, followed by the long jump and 800—metres to come later. the video assistant referee system, var, is unlikely to be used in the premier league next season, even though it could be seen at the world cup this summer. it has been trialled in domestic cup competitions this season. it was criticised this week, for causing lengthy delays in spurs' fa cup win against rochdale. that is just one of the issues causing concern. football's lawmakers, the international football association board, could approve var at a meeting tomorrow which would then pave the way for it's possible introduction in russia at the world cup. phil neville has praised the "brilliant foundations" left

by his predecessor mark sampson after starting his reign as england women head coach with a win over france in the shebelieves cup. they won 4—1 in colombus, 0hio — only their second victory over france in 44 years. sampson was sacked in september, after ‘inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour‘ in a previous role. neville said he was lucky to have inherited such a strong squad and he was very happy with the way they performed. i think bravery is the one word i have used more than any other word in the last three days. it's easy saying it, but the hardest thing is to do it. my players played with massive courage today against a side that, you know, say what you want, but we have been really poor against them. england wicketkeeper jonny bairstow says he has no plans to follow his one—day teammates adil rashid and alex hales into playing solely limited overs cricket. england face new zealand in the third match of their one—day series overnight.

jonny bairstow wants to stay in the test side as well. it is very much a personal decision. i won't be playing solely white ball cricket for a long time. look, as i say, it's an individual thing that people have got to weigh up within themselves. that is all the sport 110w. themselves. that is all the sport now. we will be back in the next hour. all the latest sports news there. you're watching bbc news. we are waiting to hear in the next few minutes from the prime minister theresa may making that very important speech about britain's relationship with the eu once we have left the eu. we do know that all of the members of the cabinet who we are expecting to be there to listen to the speech have now

entered the hall so we think that the prime minister is on her way. of course, our chief political correspondent vicky young is going to be listening to this as well as we are. a few minutes ago, vicky, we were talking about what has to be achieved here, what people listening service in brussels are going to be listening out for to try to move this process on because, of course, detailed conversations really do need to be had about trade. yes, there has been a lot of talk on both sides about so—called red lines. here is the prime minister now. good afternoon. i am grateful to the lord mayor and all of his team at mansion house for hosting us this afternoon. in the midst of the bad weather i would just like to take a moment before i begin my speech to thank everyone in our country who is going the extra mile to help people at this time. i think of our

emergency services and armed forces working to keep people safe, our nhs staff, ca re working to keep people safe, our nhs staff, care workers and all those keeping our public services going and the many volunteers who are giving their time to help those in need. your contribution is a special part of who we are as a country and it is all the more appreciated at a moment like this. now, i am here today to set out my vision for the future economic partnership between the united kingdom and the european union. there has been many different voices in the debate on what our new relationship with the eu should look like. i have listened carefully to them all. as we chart a way forward with the eu, i want to take a moment to look back. 18 months ago i stood in downing street and addressed the nation for my first time as prime minister. i made this pledge then to the people that i serve. i know you are working around the clock. i know

you're doing your best. and i know that sometimes life can be a struggle. the government i lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. we will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives. when we take the bigger calls, we will think not of the powerful but of you. when we pass new laws we will think not of the mighty but of you. when it comes to taxes we will not prioritise the wealthy but you. “ we not prioritise the wealthy but you. —— we will prioritise the wealthy and not you. we are living through and not you. we are living through an important moment in our country's history. as we leave the european union, we will forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world and we will make britain a country that works not for a privileged few but for every one of us. privileged few but for every one of us. that pledge to the people of our

united kingdom is what guides me in out united kingdom is what guides me in our negotiations with the eu. and to me, that means five things. first the agreement we reach with the eu must respect the referendum. it was a vote to take control of our borders, laws and money and a vote for wider change so that no community in britain would ever be left behind again. it was not a vote for a distant relationship with our neighbours. second, the new agreement we reach with the eu must injure. after brexit, both the uk and the eu wants to forge ahead building a better future for our people, not finding ourselves back at the negotiating table because things have broken down. third, it must protect people'sjobs and security. people in the uk voted for country to have a new and different relationship with europe. whilst the

needs may change, our shared goals surely have not. to work together and grow our economies and keep our people say. fourth, it must be consistent with the kind of country we want to be as we leave. a modern, open and outward looking tolerant european democracy. a nation of pioneers, innovators, explorers and creators. a country that celebrates out creators. a country that celebrates our history and diversity, confident of our place in the world. that meets its obligations to our near neighbours and far friends and is proud to stand up for its values. and fifth, in doing all of these things, it must strengthen our union of nations and the union of people. we must bring our country back together taking into account the views of everyone that cares about this issue from both sides of the debate. as prime minister, it is my duty to represent all of our united

kingdom, england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. north and south, from coastal towns and rural villages to our great cities. so these are the five tests for the deal that we will negotiate. implementing the decision of the british people. reaching an enduring solution. protecting our security and prosperity. delivering an outcome that is consistent with the kind of country we want to be and bringing our country together, strengthening the pressures union of all our people. we are now approaching a crucial moment. there is no escaping the complexity of the task ahead of us. we must not only negotiate our exit from an organisation that touches so many important part of our national life, we must also build a new and lasting relationship while giving the uncertainty inherent in this negotiation preparing for every scenario. but we are making real progress. at the end of last year we

agreed the key elements of our withdrawal. we are in the process of turning that agreement into draft legal text. we have made clear our concerns legal text. we have made clear our concerns about the first draft the commission published on wednesday but no one should be in any doubt about our commitment to the joint reports we agreed in december. we are close to agreement in the terms of implementation period which was eight key element in december's deal. of course, some points of issue remain but i'm confident these can be resolved in the days ahead. both the uk and the eu are clear, this must be time limited and must not become a permanent solution. it is vital to give government, businesses and citizens on both sides the time they need to prepare for our new relationship. with this agreed, i want both sides to turn all of our attention and efforts to

that new relationship. before we can do that, we need to set out in more detail what relationship we want, building on my lancaster house and florence speeches. so last month, i spoke in munich about the security partnership we seek. today i want to talk about the other pillar of that relationship, how we build our economic partnership. in my speech in florence, i set out why the existing models for economic partnership either do not deliver the ambition we need or impose unsustainable restraints on our democracy. for example, the norway model where we would stay in the single market, meaning we have eu legislation in its entirety and have continued free movement. others have suggested we negotiate a free treatment is similar to that that canada has recently negotiated with

the eu or trade on world trade organisation terms. these options would offer limited access to each other's markets. it also means that customs checks at the border would damage the supply chains are industries rely on and be inconsistent with the commitments that both we and the eu have made it with respect to northern ireland. this is a wider issue in and i would like to reflect on this. successive british governments have worked tirelessly together with the irish government and all parties in northern ireland to bring about the historic achievement of peace. this is an achievement that we should all be proud of and protect. that is why i have consistently put up holding the belfast agreement at the heart of the uk's approach. our departure from the eu causes very particular challenges for northern ireland and for ireland. we joined the eu

together 45 years ago and it is not surprising that our decision to leave has caused anxiety and a desire for concrete solutions. we have been clear all along that we do not want to go back to a hard border in ireland. we have ruled out any physical infrastructure at the border or any related checks and controls. but it is not good enough to say that we won't introduce a hard border. if the eu forces are willing to do it that is down to them. that is not good enough. we chose to leave and we have a responsibility to help find a solution. we cannot do it on our own. it is for all of us to work together and the taoiseach and i agree when we met recently that our teams and the commission must now do just that. i want to make one final point. just as it would be u na cce pta ble point. just as it would be unacceptable to go back to a hard border between northern ireland and ireland, it would also be u na cce pta ble ireland, it would also be unacceptable to break up the united kingdom's own common market by

creating a customs and regulatory border down the irish sea. my personal commitment to this is clear. as prime minister of the whole united kingdom, i clear. as prime minister of the whole united kingdom, lam not going to let our departure from the european union do anything to set back the historic progress that we have made in northern ireland, nor will i allow anything that will damage the integrity of our precious union. so existing models do not provide the best way forward for eitherthe uk or provide the best way forward for either the uk or the eu. provide the best way forward for eitherthe uk orthe eu. but provide the best way forward for either the uk or the eu. but before i turn to what a new and better model might look like, i want to be straight with people because the reality is that we all need to face up reality is that we all need to face up to some hard facts. we are leaving the single market. life is going to be different. in certain ways our access to each other's markets will be less than it is now. how could the eu structure of rights and obligations be sustained if the

uk orany and obligations be sustained if the uk or any country were allowed to enjoy all the benefits without all of the obligations? so we need to strike a new balance but we will not acce pt strike a new balance but we will not accept the rights of canada and the obligations of norway. the second ha rd fa ct obligations of norway. the second hard fact is that even after we have left the jurisdiction of the european court of justice, left the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, eu law and the decisions of the ecj will continue to affect us. for a start, the ecj determines whether agreement the ecj determines whether agreement the eu has struck an illegal under the eu has struck an illegal under the eu's own law as the us found when the ecj declared this safe harbour framework for data sharing invalid. when we leave the eu, the withdrawal bill will bring eu law into uk law. that means cases will be determined in our courts. but where appropriate, our courts will continue to look at the ecj judgments as they do for the appropriate jurisdiction of other country's courts. if, as part of our

future partnership, parliament passes an identical law, it may make sense for our courts to look at the appropriate ecj judgments and we both interpret those laws consistently. as i said in munich, if we agree that the uk should continue to participate in an eu agency, the uk should have to expect that the remit of the ecj in that regard. but in the future, the eu treaties and eu law will no longer apply in the united kingdom. the agreement we reach must therefore respect the sovereignty of both the uk and the eu. that means the jurisdiction of the ecj in the uk must end. it also means that the ultimate arbiter with disputes about our future partnership cannot be the co re our future partnership cannot be the core of either party. the next hard fa ct core of either party. the next hard fact is this, if we want good access to each other's markets, it must be unfair terms. as with any trade

agreements, we must accept the need for binding trade agreements, for example, we may choose to remain in step with the eu in some cases. the uk drove much of the policy in this area and we have much to gain from maintaining proper disciplines on the use of subsidies and anti—competitive practices. furthermore, as i said in florence, we share the same set of fundamental beliefs in free trade and rigorous competition, strong consumer rights and are trying to beat each other and are trying to beat each other and other countries in industries by u nfa i rly and other countries in industries by unfairly subsidising one's own is a serious mistake. in other areas, like the environment, the eu must be confident we will not engage in a race to the bottom in the standards we set. there is nothing in the uk to support this, quite the opposite. finally, we need to resolve the

tensions between some of our key objectives. we want the freedom to negotiate trade agreements with other countries around the world. we wa nt other countries around the world. we want to take back control of our laws. we want as frictionless a border is possible with us and the eu so we do not damage the integrated supply chains are industries rely on. and not to have a hard border between ireland and northern ireland. but there are hard facts of the eu to face as well. the commission has suggested that the only option available to the uk is an off—the—shelf model but at the same time they have also said that in certain areas none of the eu's third country agreements would be appropriate and that the european council's guidelines aspire to a balanced, ambitious and wide—ranging deal with common rules in a number of areas to ensure fair and open competition. this would not be

delivered by a canada style deal which would not give them the breadth or depth of market access that they want. it is hard to see if it would be in the eu's interest for the uk to be in the same boat as canada. finally, we have to accept the fact that this is a negotiation and neither of us can have exactly what we want. i am confident that we can reach an agreement. we both want good access to each other's market. we want competition between us to be fair and open and we want reliable and transparent means of verifying that we are meeting our commitments and resolving disputes. but what is clear is that for us both to meet our objectives we need to look beyond the precedents and find a new balance. as an security, what i am seeking is a relationship that goes beyond the transactional to wonder we support each other's interests. sol we support each other's interests. so i want the broadest and deepest

possible partnership, covering more sectors and incorporating more fully than any free trade agreement anywhere in the world today. as i will go on to describe will also need agreements in a range of areas covering the breadth of our relationship. i believe this is achievable because it is in the eu's interest as well as ours. the eu is the uk's biggest markets and the uk isa the uk's biggest markets and the uk is a big market for the eu. furthermore, we have a unique starting point where on day one we will both have the same laws and rules. so rather than having to bring two different systems closer together the task will be to manage the relationship once we are two separate legal systems. to do so and to realise his level of ambition, there are five things that must underline our relationship. first we need reciprocal commitments to

ensure open competition. such commitments are part and parcel of any trade agreement. why would any country enter into a privileged economic partnership without any means of redress of the other party engaged in anti—competitive practices. but the level of integration with the uk and eu markets and our geographical proximity means that these reciprocal commitments will be particularly important in ensuring that uk business can compete fairly with eu markets and vice versa. they deep and copper offensive agreement with the eu will therefore need to include commitments reflecting the extent that the uk and eu economies are entwined. second, we will need an arbitration mechanism. it is completely independent and something thatis completely independent and something that is common to free trade agreements. this will ensure that any disagreements about the scope of agreements can be resolved fairly promptly. third, given the close relationship win visit, we will need

an ongoing dialogue with the eu and to ensure we have the means to consult each other regularly. in particular, we will want to make sure our regulators want them work together. as they do with regulators internationally. this will be essential for everything to getting new drugs to patients quickly to maintaining financial responsibility. we start in the place where our regulators already have deep and long—standing relationships so this task is maintaining that trust. not building it in the first place. fourth, we need an arrangement for data protection. i made this point in munich with relation to our security commitments. free flow of data is also critical for both sides in any modern trading relationship as well. the uk has exceptionally high standards of data protection and we wa nt standards of data protection and we want to secure an agreement with the eu that provide the stability and confidence with eu and uk businesses and individuals to achieve our aims in maintaining and developing the

uk's in maintaining and developing the uk's strong trade and economic links with the eu. that is why will be seeking more thanjust an with the eu. that is why will be seeking more than just an adequacy arrangement and want to see an appropriate ongoing role with the uk's appropriate ongoing role with the uk's ongoing office. this will make sure that uk businesses are well presented under the eu's one—stop shop mechanism to resolving data protection disputes. and, we must maintain the links between the people. it is part of the economic and so is fabric of our country build uk international is argued in the same way by communities across the eu for that this is why at every stage of the negotiations i had put the interests of eu citizens and uk national '5 heart of our approach. we are clear that as we leave be you, free movement of people will come to an end and we will control the number of people who come to live
