coach darren lehmann says he will leave his post at the end of the fourth test match. all the details coming out. —— coming up. thanks. and we have all the weather. things don't looked too bad for the start of the is still weekend —— things don't look too bad for the start of the easter weekend but that could all change. thanks. also coming up — as tensions rise between east and west after the salisbury poisoning — for the first time since the cold war russia starts military training flights via the north pole to north america. hello everyone — this is afternoon live. with exactly one year before the uk is due to leave the european union, theresa may is pledging to make brexit a "success for everybody". she says that leaving the eu

will mean there's extra money available to spend on the nhs and schools — and she's confident that there's a bright future ahead. but as the prime minister talks of a brexit dividend there are those saying there's still time for the country to change it's mind. our political correspondent chris mason reports. on days like today, heavy with symbolism, politicians like to indulge in their own grand gestures. so the prime minister's hurtling around the country, championing one union, the uk, a year before we leave another, the eu. at breakfast time, at a weaver‘s in ayr, by mid—morning, a toddler group in newcastle, and an appointment with our political editor laura kuenssberg. of course when we leave the european union, we're no longer going to be spending vast sums of money year in and year out, sending our money to the european union, so there will be money available in the uk for us to spend on our priorities like the nhs and schools. so do you believe there will be a brexit dividend? would you call it that?

well, there's going to be money that we would otherwise be sending to the european union that we will be able to spend on priorities in the uk. and would you rule out a tax rise for the nhs? we are going to look at a multi—year funding settlement. as we do that, we will make sure we continue to take a balanced approach to our economy. that is what has enabled us to already put money into the nhs. we already committed to spending extra sums of money on the nhs. so you're not ruling out a tax rise, potentially? as part of our normal processes, we will look at the funding, but we have to look at the long term plan. do you think brexit will be worth it? i think there are real opportunities for the united kingdom. i think there is a bright future out there. and, yes, i think brexit is going to deliver. our country will be different, but i think there are real opportunities for us as an independent nation in the future.

politics has been, is and will be dominated by this moment, leave‘s victory, for years. and labour say the government has no time to waste. we want a brexit forjobs, a brexit for economy. one year on and with a year to go, we'll have a vote in parliament by which time we have to know what the government is doing. and, yes, the political debate still rages, from those saying we need another referendum... to those saying the opposite. the big picture is that a year from today, we'll leave the treaty of rome and the subsequent treaties and we will be an independent country. and that, perhaps today of all days, is the thing we need to focus on. we are going to leave the european union. i personally can't stand some of the concessions that have been made. there is a demand from the public for that vote on the deal, and that is in our view, the liberal democrat view, the democratic route to provide people with the option to stay

in the european union. delivering brexit is a colossal challenge. absolutely worth it, say some. self—defeating, say others. what few dispute is that it amounts to a wholesale rewiring of our politics and so potentially our country as well. and it's a job that is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. at westminster is the labourmp hilary benn, chair of the commons brexit select committee. one year to one yearto go, one year to go, then. indeed. it is premature to say the least for the prime minister to be travelling around the country, declaring a bright future and promising spending of the money, when we haven't even got into the detailed negotiations about what the future economic relationship is going to look like. this is not the beginning of the end andi this is not the beginning of the end and i think winston churchill's phrase is much more appropriate, it is maybe the end of the beginning. we have the transitional agreement

but now we have to work out how we are going to trade and what is going to happen to our services, 80% of the british economy, millions of jobs, depend on our services which isa jobs, depend on our services which is a great strength of our country, how are we going to sell those in the same way into europe and how are we going to cooperate on defence and foreign policy and the fight against terrorism? the deal foreign policy and the fight against terrorism ? the deal with foreign policy and the fight against terrorism? the deal with food safety, the safety of aeroplanes, solve the problem which continues to haunt the government of keeping an open border in northern ireland. all we have as we looked down the road towards brexit is fog and uncertainty and the truth is that the government's own economic assessments have said we are going to be less well off as an economy than we would otherwise have been and we don't know what the future looks like and that is ready bad for business and confidence and investment. but we do know where the

road ends, 364 days from now, and winston churchill didn't know when the second world war was going to end, but we have a date. this needs to be the beginning of the end? we will leave the institutions of the eu ina will leave the institutions of the eu in a year, but nobody apart from the government believes that we will have concluded by october this year because it is not going to be a year from now, the deal has to be done by october, but no one thinks in that agreement we will have sorted all of the arrangements and drawn up a treaty covering everything, it is a very long list of things that have to be dealt with. no one thinks we will have done that by october, so the challenge for parliament, how are we going to vote on the deal where our future relationship are we going to vote on the deal where ourfuture relationship is still unclear not because it wasn't possible to negotiate something which provided greater certainty but

because the government decided to ta ke because the government decided to take off the table certain options, like staying in a customs union which i have been arguing forfor a long time, that is the policy of the labour party, and that would answer a number of concerns of business and thatis a number of concerns of business and that is why the cbi supports staying in the customs union and it would provide part of the answer to the problem which has not been solved, how do you keep the open border between northern ireland and the republic, which everyone wants to see. it sounds as though rather than entering a transition period you would like to see an extension of the article 50 period? we did say in oui’ the article 50 period? we did say in our recent report, that if that could get you more detail in a deal, that's an option the government could look at, but there is no doubt the negotiation on our future relationship is going to continue into the transition period and that is why calling it an implementation period is simply wrong because that

would only be so if you had a deal to implement but we won't have that, in my view. this is very very complex process, everywhere you look, the future of our broadcasting rights and what happens to the handling of data, if we are not in a customs union, the rules of origin certificates that companies have got to produce to satisfy other countries in the world that a sufficient proportion of the product was made in the uk, these are complex at ease and potentially cost to business and that is not in our economic interests —— complexities. the prime minister has said we would have less access to our largest market and that is why many people in business and the jobs that depend on those businesses are concerned because we don't know at this stage, 21 months after the referendum, despite all the negotiation and the

talking, we don't know what the future economic relationship is going to look like. the future of oui’ going to look like. the future of our economy depends on the government raising tax revenue to pay for hospitals and schools and other public services that we need. hilary benn, thanks forjoining us. so, how do people in northern england think things will pan out once the transition period begins? danny savage has been on a road trip across the north talking to people about what if any changes they expect to see. he travelled to lincolnshire, east yorkshire, county durham and greater manchester. our first port of call on our northern brexit road trip was immingham, a gateway to europe for trade. at the moment, around 60% of our trade on the humber is with the european union. 40% is with the rest of the world. they don't envisage post—brexit chaos here or at other ports, but last week's agreement on a transition period is very welcome. it does take time to increase the capacity of these systems

to make sure trade with the eu can continue to flow smoothly and efficiently, and that of course is why the transition period is so important and so welcome. so a transition period is really important to your business, at least, going forward as brexit happens? absolutely right. from lincolnshire, it was on to guy poskitt‘s farm in east yorkshire. he has lots of foreign workers. no fan of brexit, he accepts it will happen, but is frustrated by a long transition. ultimately, i want to grow my business, and the transition period is stifling it because we don't know if we can grow, if we'll have the staff to run the business. how can we expand or borrow money from the bank or grow the business if we haven't got the staff? while we're in this transition, we're in a delay, so it's putting a cap on the growth of the business. from east yorkshire, we headed north to county durham. we supply the usa now. a big market to us.

and we supply france as well. ebac has just started making washing machines for the uk market and beyond. business is doing well, and brexit isn't going to change the outlook here. the way they sell products abroad or anywhere is to make good products that people who want to buy. it's that simple. tariffs are inconvenient, not a deal—breaker. it's down to business people doing a good job. i focus on running this business well. that's being a good british citizen and a good european. run the business as well as we can. after hearing from big businesses, we went south, then west. our destination was bury market in greater manchester, a busy mix of people on a friday lunchtime. we found graham kendall having lunch and looking forward to brexit. it's the change that people are frightened of. people should embrace change, really. change isn't necessarily bad. there's a lot of emerging markets coming out in the world, and we need to take advantage of those. karen simpson sells furniture from italy, and isn't so sure. we were remainers.

i think we just resigned ourselves to the fact that it's out of our control now, and you've just got to go with the flow. so... not a big fan, but it's just one of them things. you've got to take it on the chin. and the owner of this greek deli is no fan of brexit either, with a weaker pound meaning higher prices. i've got quite an older population that shop in bury market. because of the uncertainty, and they don't know what's going to happen, trade has gone down. people aren't spending what they used to. or it's because the prices have gone up and they can't afford it. as ever, views are divided about what brexit will mean. but what is clear is that it's touching every walk of life and nobody is certain about the future. danny savage, bbc news. as part of the bbc‘s day of coverage — we're in bolton — where the majority of people voted to leave in the eu referendum. our chief political correspondent vicki young is there. it has been interesting talking to

people around the market, those who voted leave, they want to get on with it, the fact it has taken so long to get to that moment of brexit day, and even after that there will bea day, and even after that there will be a transition which means nothing much will change for another 20 months, and for those people on the leave side that is what they feel, but on the other side of the argument, mixed emotions. we can speak to someone from the younger generation. ceo of explode youth maxing, is it too simplistic to say young people were against brexit? there's a lot that has gone into it, but the key is, whether young people we re but the key is, whether young people were for or against it, that they have a say in the future, and young people are 20% of the population here in the uk but 0% of them are sitting on the top table making the decisions. for our future we have got to make sure that young people

are having a say in those negotiations and reassuring other young people that we will try to get the best brexit deal for young people. do you think young people we re people. do you think young people were engaged enough in the referendum and also as we go on and move into negotiations, are they engaged in this discussion?” move into negotiations, are they engaged in this discussion? i think they are engaged, but the things that have emerged since we took the vote, it has put young people off continuing this engagement and there needs to be worked around re—engaging young people. it is not they don't understand what brexit is, but it is the untruths and the ill informed debate on both sides we re young ill informed debate on both sides were young people feel, if it was a referendum peddled on lies, what is the point of carrying on the engagement? but the participation is much better than nonparticipation and we have got to make sure there

are opportunities for them to have a say. what is it that you are feeling optimistic about or pessimistic about as we head towards brexit? i'm pretty positive on the whole. i voted to remain because i was born into the european union and i see what we have and i feel, i don't really wa nt what we have and i feel, i don't really want to change that, and many young people talk about freedom of movement especially when it comes to studying, you can take a year out to studying, you can take a year out to study abroad, and i think it is those things which i got to be careful, we don't want to hamper the ambition of young people. we have got to be careful about how we go about these negotiations but for me it is studying abroad, we have got to make sure we have opportunities to make sure we have opportunities to thrive and opportunities for ambition but also employment opportunities, skills are top of my agenda, 65,000 eu nationals work in

greater manchester, and we don't have that many number of people to ta ke have that many number of people to take those jobs if they all leave. you are not reassured by the government? no, there is so much we don't know for certain, and we have got to be very careful about it, but there has been this feeling, with domestic policies, they have been left behind. we have got to do as much as we can to make sure that we are engaging on all sides. thanks for joining are engaging on all sides. thanks forjoining us. that is another view from bolton market, and we have some cheese for you. we will bring some back. i remember that. -- i'll remember that. one of the crucial steps to be determined is how the uk will trade with the eu after brexit. joining me from preston is the international trade secretary liam fox. i was just talking to hilary benn, who chairs the brexit committee, he makes the point there is a year to go but there is so much to be done,

are you confident that in this timescale you can achieve what you are hoping? yes, we know a year from today when we leave the eu we will have the ability to negotiate our own trade agreements and sign them, although probably not implement them in that period, and that gives us the opportunity to look at new markets and opportunities and this comes on a day when we have seen our new trade figures showing that british exports to the rest of the world a re british exports to the rest of the world are up by more than 12% in goods and services, performing strongly. it is clear that british business is already changing to these market opportunities that exist as it is up to the government to make sure those opportunities increase in the future. michel barnier has been talking on french radio, he says as a non—eu member the uk would not be able to participate in the development of the galileo space programme, that

would be a big blow to the space industry here. what is your reaction to that kind of talk? well, it is unwise to talking that way and for anyone to claim that the uk is not to be trusted in a security system is not acceptable because the uk is the most reliable security partner in europe, and that needs to be something in the negotiation, but you have got to take everything with a pinch of salt. as the prime minister said, nothing a pinch of salt. as the prime ministersaid, nothing is a pinch of salt. as the prime minister said, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. he has also said only a agreement would be on offer and not special access to the eu's internal market, but that is not your hope? it depends on what the eu 27 countries think, this is not a negotiation between uk and the commission, it is between the uk and 27 member states, they will be very

keen to make sure they get a good eggntg‘rfiglggzucejjw ...= a" uk. that know from our figures that we have a and surplus with the trade and services surplus with the eu of about £11 billion and they have a good surplus with the uk of around £100 billion and if we did not have open market access that would be very disadvantageous for businesses and workers across europe soi businesses and workers across europe so i think ultimately the common—sense of the market will rather than the bureaucracies of brussels. i know there's a lot going on behind the scenes but are confident that in one year you can hit the road running? in terms of the negotiations for trade. we have 14 working groups with 21 countries and having these conversations, we we re and having these conversations, we were in hong kong last week discussing with the government there about the potential for a discussing with the government there about the potentialfor a new services sector agreement, opening

up services sector agreement, opening up the service market in both countries, to stimulate trade up there's a lot of interest in the uk everywhere i go. ifind other countries wanting to talk to the uk, i chaired the uk braziljoint economic committee yesterday, brazil is the ninth biggest economy in the world, talking about the opportunities they see for britain when we leave. there is optimism outside around the world and that often contrasts with the pessimism that we get here in the uk. there are enormous opportunities out there and the imf says 90% of global growth in the next 15 years will be outside the european continent and thatis outside the european continent and that is where we need to be. you we re that is where we need to be. you were talking about young people, and young people are to truly take advantage of those global opportunities of growth beyond europe we need to get ready in the work that we do in the next 12 months and in the implementation period, that will be key to whether

the next generation gets a shot at the next generation gets a shot at the short of —— sort of prosperity they deserve. theresa may has talking about a dividend, with more money for the nhs and schools, but asa money for the nhs and schools, but as a brexiteer yourself from the first day, with the clock ticking, is this the vision of brexit that you had those years ago? what i wa nted you had those years ago? what i wanted was to leave the eu so that we would be a genuinely sovereign nation and my objection was a constitutional one. there is no doubt that as we take control of our laws and money and borders, there are new opportunities, but we can also shape the global environment in things like trade as we take up an independent seat at the wto we can have a say with our own voice, but at the moment we have to sit silently represented by the commission, but now we can have a say in how we shape the world around

us, and for the young people of the country this may be key to their future prosperity and that is really important. the most important issue as the countdown begins is the irish border question, are you confident there will be a resolution in the next 365 days? we need to find a resolution and we thing that will lie in having an open and comprehensive trading agreement with the eu, it is very important for ireland, which needs to maintain access to the uk market, because we are their single biggest export destination and the east west trade across the irish sea is more than the cross—border trade between the north and the south in ireland and so we need to make sure we give ireland the opportunity to maintain their prosperity and that will be one of the elements as we go into the negotiation, the prosperity agenda that will be at the top of

the list. liam fox, thanks for joining us. we are hearing from the labour party, they have suspended the secretary of the branch in sheffield after reports of anti—semitism, this isa after reports of anti—semitism, this is a woman who tweeted a picture of a job centre sign showing the words which are written above the nazi concentration camp in auschwitz. the party says any complaints of anti—semitism are taken seriously and it will now be fully investigated and any appropriate discipline action will be taken, they say. a secretary of the branch in sheffield has been suspended. that is one piece of breaking news. another one. barclays that is one piece of breaking news. another one. ba rclays bank, that is one piece of breaking news. another one. barclays bank, they have agreed to pay $2 billion in civil penalties to settle claims

over the sale of mortgage securities in the lead up to the financial crisis. it is not a fine as such, it isa crisis. it is not a fine as such, it is a settlement which they have agreed to pay over the sale of mortgage—backed securities. we will have more on that in around 15 minutes in the business. police say the former russian spy, sergei skripal and his daughter were probably poisoned at home — after high levels of a nerve agent were found on the front door handle of mr skripal‘s house. he and his daughter yulia remain in a critical condition in hospital. duncan kennedy reports. sergei skripal‘s house lies about a mile from the centre of this cathedral city. and today the property, now surrounded by a metal fence, has been identified as the main location of the nerve agent. detectives say the biggest concentrations of the poison found so far were on the front door of mr skripal‘s house.

the police haven't given any more details about the door, or what form the nerve agent took — whether it was a gel, a liquid, a powder or other substance. nor have they said who they think might have put it there. three weeks ago, police officers were filmed standing close to the front door, without any of the protective clothing we have since witnessed in the city. for a number of days, we watched the officers by the property. it may simply be that the testing of the door hadn't yet started or completed at that stage. police now say the risk is low. people living here seem satisfied with that assurance. it doesn't make any difference to me, quite honestly, so ijust get on with my normal life. people aren't worried? no, not around here. i don't think anyone's any more worried than anyone else. what is still unclear is that if the skripals were contaminated at their home, why did it take three hours for them to become incapacitated by the poison, after they had been for a drink and a meal in the centre of salisbury?

chemical weapons experts think the answer may lie in the design of the nerve agent. in this case, it seems to have taken a couple of hours to have an effect, so i suspect that is part of the design of this novichok as an assassination weapon. it's allowed the assailants, the foreign agents, to get away. they could have been well outside salisbury, in fact, well outside the country, a couple of hours from having done this. the centre of salisbury, where smaller traces of the nerve agent were found, has now been handed from counterterrorist police back to wiltshire police, and a programme of decontamination will begin next week, with the focus of the main inquiry now on mr skripal‘s house in the suburbs where police work could take many months. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in salisbury. this is something to cheer you up.

now, this is paul the piglet filmed by his trainer nicolle muller. nicolle is a berlin—based animal trainer who posts videos of her productive pig doing all sorts of chores. at his owner's request, paul walks back and forth across the room, picking up his plush dolls and depositing them into a box. according to muller, cleaning up isn't the only trick the paul knows. all of paul's toys were neatly put away. that'll do pig, that'll do. that puts a smile on our face. time for a look at the weather. it is not looking too bad at first but it might change by the end.

maybe paul can come to my house tonight because i have got some people coming for dinner tonight. they could tidy up. i haven't decided what to cook. the weather forecast is not looking too bad to start the weekend. the start of the weekend as too bad, and the signs are pretty good at the moment with sunshine around in places today, but not quite that simple, when is it? some places have turned pretty damp, that was dorsett earlier on, rain on the window. this is how the forecast will pan out and there we go. city forecasts for the

easter weekend. yes, you are excused, it does look different! it's really difficult sometimes. we have city forecasts which is shows a mixed bag for the weekend, but this is the important bit, if you are travelling back on easter monday there is the chance that we could have some snow. you are there is the chance that we could have some snow. you are quite something, week ago thomas said there was the risk of this and then chris said it will be fine. and now you are saying there is a risk. yes, there's a risk of snow on monday. we will get onto that a moment. the rest of the forecast, this afternoon, rain is pushing its way into the south west, but further north we have spells of sunshine

still to be had, but also wintry spells in the north—east of scotland. the wet weather continues to work its way further north, wintry showers into the north—east of scotland, and the snow is piling up of scotland, and the snow is piling up in places. clear spells in between, which will mean it will get quite cold but not as cold as last night, but maybe a touch of frost in places. the easter weekend, pretty mixed, cormack row for the most part, rain at times but —— pretty cool for the most part. wintry showers into north—east scotland still. in the south more wet weather beginning to move in but they will beginning to move in but they will be spells of sunshine in between. a usable day for some parts of the country, single—digit temperatures, but on saturday some of the rain will still be in place. the snow is only over high ground. wintry showers into the north still. pretty

cool showers into the north still. pretty cool. if you are looking for a reliably friday, easter sunday is not a bad bet, reliably friday, easter sunday is nota bad bet, —— a reliably friday, easter sunday is not a bad bet, —— a reliably dry day. temperatures struggling a bit, still, but down to the south west, the first sign of trouble. the pressure chart shows the frontal system a re pressure chart shows the frontal system are moving in, but the trouble is, the wet weather will be running into relatively cold air and thatis running into relatively cold air and that is why we have the potential for some snow. we are calling it a risk of snow because we are still looking a few days ahead but i know you might have travel plans to come back on monday. we are flagging up the risk of significant snow, most likely over high ground but to low levels, uncertainty about how far north it will get, but still a cold feel to the weather. most likely to be dry in the north and reining in

the south, but if you have travel plans on easter monday it is worth staying tuned to our forecast. that is all from me for now. hello, you're watching bbc news — i'm simon mccoy. a brexit dividend — with one year to go until britain leaves the eu theresa may says it'll mean extra money available to spend on the nhs and schools. i think it's a bright future out there and yes brexit is going to deliver, the country will be different, but there are real opportunities for us as an independent nation in the future. police investigating the salisbury poisoning say the highest concentration of nerve agent was found on the front door of sergai skripal‘s home. if any good can come of this, it will be a lesson to others, and i hope i can be a force for change. the former australian cricket

captain steve smith breaks down as he apologises for his part in the ball tampering scandal. the team's coach darren lehmann announces that he is to quit for the moment. the ministry ofjustice should take some blame for the john worboys ministry ofjustice should take some blame for thejohn worboys case. the two players at the heart of the cheating row are now back in australia. yes, you saw steve smith there and the emotional scenes that he went through at a press conference at sydney airport to use ofa conference at sydney airport to use of a breakdown in tears. very emotional when he landed. he said he was gutted, devastated britain's role in the scandal and said it was something that he would regret for the rest of his life. what we didn't see was cameron bancroft. he flew into perth on his arrival he also addressed the media. he apologised.

he admitted that he lied as well in the aftermath. the third cricketer also involved in this ball tampering scandal was the last to land back. he hasjust landed scandal was the last to land back. he has just landed within the last hour. we had already under way back to australia had apologised on social media, so hearfrom all to australia had apologised on social media, so hear from all three of. i made a serious error ofjudgment and now i am facing the consequences. i will do everything i can to apologise for my mistake and the damage that was caused. can to apologise for my mistake and the damage that was causedlj the damage that was caused.” understand i have let many people down and i understand the disappointment for the broader community. words don't mean much in the circumstances, sol community. words don't mean much in the circumstances, so i will focus on my actions and conduct going forward. you can understand it has

beena forward. you can understand it has been a tough and emotional time for my wife and kids. at this present time, you will hear from me in a couple of days. at the moment, my priority is to get these kids in bed and rest up. sol priority is to get these kids in bed and rest up. so i will talk to you ina and rest up. so i will talk to you in a couple of days. so you can see the attention that that is garnering in australia and around the world. also developing as a story another line in the last half—hour is that cameron bancroft will now not be joining somerset county cricket club as an overseas player this season. they released that news on social media a short time ago. difficult to see story goes. doesn't seem to have an end. at some point, they need to dust themselves off, but that is probably not a good idea. they need to move forward and look for a new coach first of all. they are, because surprisingly in the last couple of hours, we have had the news that darren lehmann, the head coach has announced that he will

quit now as head coach of australia. that will be at the end of the current test series because they have that final test in johannesburg which starts tomorrow. he will step down after that and it is a pricing because in the wake of the scandal he was cleared of any wrongdoing by cricket australia and he has said that on wednesday he would not resign, but it turns out that one of the recently decided to quit was after watching steve smith and cameron bancroft when became very emotional at those news conferences that we just saw, so let's hear from darren lehmann, then.” that we just saw, so let's hear from darren lehmann, then. i had no prior knowledge of the incident and do not condone what happened, but good people can make mistakes. my family andi people can make mistakes. my family and i have got a lot of abuse over the last week, and it has taken its toll on us. as many of you sitting in this room will know, life on the road means a lot of time away from my loved ones and after speaking with my family at length over the last few days, it is the right time

to step away. well, staying with cricket. england have dropped moeen ali and chris woakes for the second test against new zealand. it's the first time moeen has missed out in three years asjoe root‘s side try to recover from what was a very heavy defeat in the first test. play starts in christchurch at 11 o'clock tonight, and there's ball by ball coverage with the test match special team on 5 live sports extra. andy murray is going play in his first event since having hip surgery injanuary. the former world number one hasn't played a competitive match since being knocked out of wimbledon last year and no doubt he'll have half an eye on the all england club when he plays at the libema open in the netherlands injune — it's a grass court tournament, so perfect preparation for wimbledon. that's all the sport for now. see you then. thank you very much. let's get more now on our main story, theresa may's tour of england, northern ireland and wales to mark the fact that there is one year now until the uk leads the eu.

the prime minister has said the important thing is making big city success for everyone, so with one year to success for everyone, so with one yearto go, success for everyone, so with one year to go, how far have we got and what still needs to be done? chris morris from reality tech has this for us. just one year to go until the uk is due to part company with the uk is due to part company with the rest of the eu. it is also one year since theresa may triggered article 50 of the lisbon treaty, marking the formal start of the brexit process. in accordance with the wishes of the british people, the wishes of the british people, the uk is leading the eu. —— leaving. this is an historic moment, for which there can be no turning back. well, after a stuttering start, negotiation on a withdrawal agreement has made progress. legal text has been made on a financial settlement, a divorce bill. the government says the uk will pay the eu up to £39 billion to cover things like outstanding bills and pensions. there is also broad agreement on the

right upper brexit of eu citizens yearin right upper brexit of eu citizens year in the uk and uk citizens elsewhere in europe, and gradually on the terms of a 21 month transition period after brexit when the uk will continue to abide by all eu rules and regulations. the transition will give governments and businesses more time to get ready for a new relationship in the future. but there's still an awful lot to do in the next 12 months. both sides are promised no return to a hard border in ireland. there are intensive talks on how to guarantee that once the uk leave the single market and the customs union. there is also no full agreement yet on the role of the european court of justice after brexit. elsewhere, spain, for example, is insisting that it must be consulted on the future status of gibraltar. as for a new trade deal between the uk and the eu, talks on that haven't yet begun. the eu says the uk's breadline limit what can be achieved, but the uk still once the

most ambitious free trade agreement in history. customs is to reach a broad political agreement by october. a detailed trade negotiation will have to continue long after the uk has left. so is brexit on track? well, there are two big warning signs. firstly, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. in other words, failure to reach agreement on one issue could bring the withdrawal deal crashing down. and secondly, it is far from clear whether the government has a majority in the house of commons to win approvalfor the majority in the house of commons to win approval for the brexit it wa nts. win approval for the brexit it wants. there's just one year left, but there still a long way to go. chris morris. well, what's the feeling about brexit elsewhere in europe? are your correspondent is indeed belgian port of antwerp. well, life on this side of the water is very different. i think theresa may decided to come here today, she

would have some strong words in her ear because from here in antwerp, the second biggest port in europe, whether she went up to holland or rotterdam or zeebrugge which has 40% of trade with the uk as well, there are concerned and anxious voices. in antwerp, one in 40 jobs is related to brexit, and when you have concern here, you have 30 billion euros of trade. you have container ships over there, whether it comes to steal or clothing or chemicals, big motoring pla nts clothing or chemicals, big motoring plants as well, the motoring industry, nissan plant and brand—new ca rs industry, nissan plant and brand—new cars waiting to go to the uk, suddenly after decades britain slips out of the customs that the single market as well, well, the aspiration is for a deal which involves few tariffs, but we do what that's going to be. let's get an idea of the feeling here. were talking to lars,

who is from the belgian federation of general labour workers. now, a risky of belgian jobs when it comes to brexit. tell me about that. absolutely. in the worst—case scenario, that of a hard brexit when there is no deal, we could lose 40,000 jobs in belgium. 9% of our, as you say, 9% of our export is going to the uk and mainly through this port, so the effect on the port of antwerp will be huge. you say 40%. can you explain why those jobs would be at risk? a military aircraft is going passed over us at the moment. one of the issues is because a hard brexit means the ta riffs because a hard brexit means the tariffs become 10% to steal, 224% for food. by the tariffs become 10% to steal, 224% forfood. by the risk tariffs become 10% to steal, 224% for food. by the risk to 45 that night —— weather risk to those jobs?

when the uk goes out of the single market, we risk that there is no guarantee any more that the uk will respect fundamental labour legislation, european legislation, for example, like the working time directive. and then the uk can use this as a kind of an fair competition towards european labour markets to push down standards there, so they could become very competitive by lowering down labour standards, and that is a real threat for the european labour market. there is talk at the moment of having a different system. you have the dutch at the moment preparing to have customs officials and the belgians are thinking about it, to have a digital system to check trade coming through. is there an upside to this? people on the other side of the water is saying there must be something good from brexit. do you see that? well, we as a trade union,

perhaps there is one thing that could be a positive thing. in the past, the uk has always been a kind of break on european integration, social integration. we recently decided on the pillar of social rights, 20 principles, very important for us as a trade union. the uk always put a brake on this. now they have left the eu, perhaps we can move forwards and have this better european integration. but on the other side, perhaps the other countries taking the role of the uk, suddenly we notice that the dutch become hesitant of being an engine. in the past, they were an engine for european integration. but now they put the brake on integration. that could be a threat to. thank you for talking to us. a quick, brief thought. first of all, the message

here seems to be that they are preparing for the worse and hoping for the best when it comes to brexit. i have this comeback from greece and italy. really interesting. mps are talking about saying they are not sure whether brexit will actually happen, still. here in northern europe, that is not the message. they are starting to prepare for it and they are anxious about it. gavin lee, globetrotting. thank you very much. in a moment, we have the business use. first, a look at the headlines. with exactly one year to go until britain leads the eu, theresa may visits all for uk nations, are doomed to make the nations, are doomed to make the nation strong and united up to brexit. police say sergei skripal and his daughter were probably poisoned at his home by high levels ofa poisoned at his home by high levels of a nerve agent that were found at the front door. a senior labour party figure resigns in the row over a counter debts casting doubt on the holocaust on facebook. —— for a candidate casting doubt.

i'm ben bland — in the business news: one of britain's biggest and oldest engineering companies will discover its fate this afternoon. investors will vote on whether they want gkn to be taken over by the turnaround group melrose. it's bid £8.1 billion for the engineering giant, which employs 60,000 people around the world. the business secretary has asked melrose for commitments which include maintaining the workforce and headquarters in the uk. the owner of bargain booze is facing a hangover from a combination of higher costs and rapid expansion that's left it on the brink of administration. the firm, which also supplies some pubs and restaurants and owns wine rack, says it plans to appoint administrators unless circumstances change. in recent weeks, it's issued profit warnings and revealed a £30 million tax bill. within the last hour, it has revealed that ba rclays within the last hour, it has revealed that barclays have agreed to pay $2 billion. that is £1.4 billion for allegedly causing billions of dollars of losses to

investors in the run—up to the 2008 financial crisis. a settlement was reached with the us department of justice, which says the firm misled investors about the quality of the mortgage loans backing various deals and also violations of male and bankrupt. ba rclays disputes and also violations of male and bankrupt. barclays disputes the allegations. it may dispute them, but they paid $2 billion, and yet the share price goes up. yes, you may well ask what is going on. ba rtley is a may well ask what is going on. bartley is a peerless penalty in exchange for the us department of justice dismissing its complaint. it is an investigation against the british lender. investors have long been wondering what will happen, so this deal, the settlement gives them certainty. this seemingly avoids a prolonged legal case that could have had an unknown outcome and an unknown cost to the firm. so what is it that they actually did wrong? well, the allegation is that they caused billions of dollars of losses

to investors by engaging. am going to investors by engaging. am going to have two socket. we have some breaking news on the cricket. we will take you to johannesburg because the boss is just talking now. let's hear him. a couple of winning ashes series and various times during the course of his tenure, the team in various formats has gone to number one in the world, andi has gone to number one in the world, and i have seen first—hand the pride in which he has gone about his work, the love he has for his job, in which he has gone about his work, the love he has for hisjob, his incredible work ethic, and i think one of the things that really strikes me about his character as a coachis strikes me about his character as a coach is the way that he genuinely ca res coach is the way that he genuinely cares for and loves his players, and i have huge regard and respect for the way he has gone about his job over the time that he has been coach of the australian men's team, and i wa nt to ta ke of the australian men's team, and i want to take this opportunity to thank him in behalf of australian

cricket and cricket australia for his services as coach of the australian men's cricket team. it has been clearly a difficult week for him and for the players and for eve ryo ne for him and for the players and for everyone involved with the australian cricket team and australian cricket team and australian cricket team and australian cricket more broadly, and i think it is fair to say it has been most difficult for those three players that have just now returned to australia and the one thing that i would like to just add before to australia and the one thing that i would like tojust add before i close is that they are obviously in a very difficult and sad place right now and between cricket australia and the eight c a —— birdie—mac. we will offer these players all the support that we possibly can, all of our welfare services and the experts in our system but also outside will

make sure that we support the players and their families as best as we can and i am players and their families as best as we can and i am sure players and their families as best as we can and i am sure that eve ryo ne as we can and i am sure that everyone at home will understand the pressure and the difficult situation those players are in. and i politely ask that those in the public but also specifically the media respect the privacy of the players and their families at what is obviously a very difficult time for them. thank you. yesterday you said he wasn't going to retire. look, i am absolutely committed to my job. to retire. look, i am absolutely committed to myjob. my employment and tenure is a matterfor committed to myjob. my employment and tenure is a matter for the committed to myjob. my employment and tenure is a matterfor the board of cricket australia but i am not resigning and in fact what has happened over the last few days has not only strengthened my resolve to ensure that australian cricket and the this programme is live captioned by red bee media. get back on track and get back in a place where it has not only the full respect but the pride of the australian community.

your family has been dragged into this. there has been some criticism of your son by radio presenters.” think that particular issue is pretty u nfortu nate a nd think that particular issue is pretty unfortunate and unsavoury in the circumstances and i think there's a lot of misrepresentation of the facts in that. i don't particularly wa nt of the facts in that. i don't particularly want to go into detail around that except to say that there are in there that are clearly wrong and there is nothing in regard to that matter that hasn't been dealt with in accordance with cricket australia policy. did you admire the way that steve smith handled his press conference ? way that steve smith handled his press conference? to be honest, i haven't seen the press conference but i have had a lot of people sending the messages and i have spoken to people that have and i will in time look at that, but i know that he spent a little bit of time and!

know that he spent a little bit of time and i know how he feels, how sad, how remorseful he is, and i think our hearts go out to him and the other two players as well and againi the other two players as well and again i want to reiterate the fact that right now we want to support them to the best of their ability. they have made mistakes but has been major and significant, life changing mistakes, but at the same time we should all support them and allow them to rehabilitate and get back playing the game they love. what are the logistics now that if darren lehmann is going now. we don't play any international cricket for a few months now. it's not untiljune the tea m months now. it's not untiljune the team is due in england. so he will be the coach for the remainder of this tour and this test match and i wish the team all the very best for

the last test with darren lehmann in charge, but we've got plenty of time to work through that and i know there's a lot of talent the coaching brings back in australia and also amongst international cricket there area amongst international cricket there are a lot of australian coaches who are a lot of australian coaches who are performing very well. thanks, everyone. well, that's the ceo of cricket australia, james sutherland. talking about the pressures on the players. of course, the former skipper steve smith, batsmen david warner and cameron bancroft. also talking about the news in the last hour that darren lehmann will be quitting as head coach of australia at the end of the current test series. colin for privacy for those involved. —— colling. the tone of that was rather interesting. there was no sense that they were the victims of their own misfortune in any way, but of course it is a cheating scandal which has landed them where they are. we will have much more reaction to that. plenty

more in the sport as well. we will be showing you once again that news conference with steve smith where he gets very emotional as he talks about his remorse. plenty more to come. now let's have a look at the weather. good afternoon. if you do not have already turned to the weather for your eastern getaway, will signs in many places at the moment are pretty good. there has been some sunshine out there. this has come from suffolk, but we have had some hefty showers as well, particularly towards the south. this evening and tonight, this band of showery rain, perhaps with some thunder will continue to drift further north. all the while, some showers across northern and eastern scotland. wintry over high ground. not as good as last night, but still fairly chilly and cold enough for a touch of frost and places. that ta kes touch of frost and places. that takes us into the start of the eastern weekend. a thoroughly mixed affair. generally cool, some rain at times, but equally there will be some spells of sunshine, so let's ta ke

some spells of sunshine, so let's take it day by day. good friday will continue to see this band of showery rangers ding northwards. still some wintry mess over high ground. then fresh batch of showers. but also some spells of sunshine. temperatures struggling. a little below where we should be at this time of year. during saturday, some of this wet weather will drift northwards, tending to fizzle away. some sleet and snow mixed and over high ground. rain over high levels. wintry showers. areas of sunshine in parts of northern ireland. single digit temperatures. eastern day, sunday, probably the most reliably dry day. large areas of cloud but that will break up from time to time to give some spells of sunshine. our brea ks to give some spells of sunshine. our breaks of rain pushing into the far south—west later in the day. that is a sign of things to come. eastern monday, this area of low pressure will dry a frontal system in from the south. that will bring some

outbreaks of rain, but there is an added complication because that frontal system is going to be moving into some fairly cold air, so there is the potential and it is just a risk at this stage, we could see some snow. don't take this too literally. mostly over high ground but could fall to lower levels in places as well. the further north you are, the more chance of staying dry. the further south, the more chance of rain. stay tuned to the podcast because there is a risk of some disruption. hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 3. promising a brexit dividend — with one year to go until britain leaves the eu, theresa may says it'll mean extra money available to spend on the nhs and schools. i think it's a bright future out there and, yes, i think brexit is going to deliver.

the country will be different, but there are real opportunities for us as an independent nation in the future. police investigating the salisbury poisoning say the highest concentration of nerve agent was found on the front door of sergai skripal‘s home. the crying game — australia's shamed cricket captain weeps as he expresses remorse over cheating. if any good can come of this, if it can be a lesson to others, then i hope i can be a force for change. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. the fallout continuing, australian coach darren lehmann will be leaving his post at the end of the fourth test match, all the details to come. thanks. we'll be joining you for a full updat just after half—past. ben rich has all the weather. the weather forecast is not too

troublesome for the start of the weekend but by the end things are looking a bit different. we will have the details later on. thanks. also coming up — as tensions rise between east and west after the salisbury poisoning — for the first time since the cold war russia starts military training flights via the north pole to north america. hello everyone — this is afternoon live. with exactly one year before the uk is due to leave the european union, theresa may is pledging to make brexit a "success for everybody". she says that leaving the eu will mean there's extra money available to spend on the nhs and schools — and she's confident that there's a bright future ahead. but as the prime minister talks of a brexit dividend there are those saying there's still time

for the country to change its mind. our political correspondent chris mason reports. on days like today, heavy with symbolism, politicians like to indulge in their own grand gestures. so the prime minister's hurtling around the country, championing one union, the uk, a year before we leave another, the eu. at breakfast time, at a weaver‘s in ayr, by mid—morning, a toddler group in newcastle, and an appointment with our political editor laura kuenssberg. of course when we leave the european union, we're no longer going to be spending vast sums of money year in and year out, sending our money to the european union, so there will be money available in the uk for us to spend on our priorities like the nhs and schools. so do you believe there will be a brexit dividend? would you call it that? well, there's going to be money that we would otherwise be sending to the european union that we will be able to spend on priorities in the uk. and would you rule out a tax rise for the nhs? we are going to look at a multi—year funding settlement. as we do that, we will make sure

we continue to take a balanced approach to our economy. that is what has enabled us to already put money into the nhs. we're already committed to spending extra sums of money on the nhs. so you're not ruling out a tax rise, potentially? as part of our normal processes, we will look at the funding, but we have to look at the long term plan. do you think brexit will be worth it? i think there are real opportunities for the united kingdom. i think there is a bright future out there. and, yes, i think brexit is going to deliver. our country will be different, but i think there are real opportunities for us as an independent nation in the future. politics has been, is and will be dominated by this moment, leave's victory, for years. and labour say the government has no time to waste. we want a brexit forjobs, a brexit for our economy. what we can't see...

one year on and with a year to go, we'll have a vote in parliament by which time we have to know what the government is doing. and, yes, the political debate still rages, from those saying we need another referendum. to those saying the opposite. the big picture is that a year from today, we'll leave the treaty of rome and the subsequent treaties and we will be an independent country. and that, perhaps today of all days, is the thing we need to focus on. we are going to leave the european union. i, personally, can't stand some of the concessions that have been made. there is a demand from the public for that vote on the deal, and that is in our view, the liberal democrat view, the democratic route to provide people with the option to stay in the european union. delivering brexit is a colossal challenge. absolutely worth it, say some. self—defeating, say others. what few dispute is that it amounts to a wholesale rewiring of our politics and so potentially our country as well. and it's a job that is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. joining me now from

westminster is the transport secretary chris grayling — one of the leading campaigners for a leave vote at the eu referendum. i'm sure you share the optimism of the prime minister but what about those who say there is still time to change our mind? the country has voted, parliament has voted, and i find it frustrating to hear from people like tony blair is saying it is time to ask the question all over again, but we had a referendum on the public voted for two leave and parliament had a vote to trigger article 50 and i wish everyone would get behind the prime minister and look to forge the better stronger future. —— the public voted to leave. let's not try and turn the clock around. there is a countdown, there is a year to go, and michel

barnier this morning said to french radio, that after brexit the uk cannot expect to participate in the 5 billion euros galileo space project, it is issues like that which really concerned people and these are issues which are not yet nailed down. we have a negotiation to go through but many of the things that are being said at the heart of the eu are not actually what the member states want, we have seen that in the last few weeks where we have moved from lots of doomsaying about the ability to sort out the agreement, to a situation where it was passed in ten minutes by the member states and the european council, there is a desire on both sides of the channel, in the uk and elsewhere in the eu to forge a lasting partnership after the uk has left. we a re lasting partnership after the uk has left. we are going to carry on working together in a number of different areas, but we have taken a decision to step away from the political construct that is the european union. looking at galileo,

we contribute a huge amount of financial support and expertise, and i'm confident that that and other areas will carry on with the same partnership that we have today. the european science network, the research networks across universities, they have countries as far afield as israel taking part, and that is possible for the uk to carry on being a good friend and neighbour but also to do from outside the eu. jacob rinne jacob rees—mogg has said the uk will become a vassal state if the transition period is forced to continue. because there are big questions which need resolving with no sign that they will be, like the irish border. we have put forward practical proposals about how we deal with that issue, but our goal thatis deal with that issue, but our goal that is shared by many of the other member states is to secure a sensible free—trade agreement which

means issues like border controls don't arise in the first place. jacob is concerned to make sure that we ta ke jacob is concerned to make sure that we take the step outside the eu and i want we take the step outside the eu and iwant to, we take the step outside the eu and i want to, as well. we campaigned together and we believe this is the right thing for britain, but i think and the government thinks that a short transition period is right for business to enable it to adapt to the realities of britain being outside the eu and to make sure it isa outside the eu and to make sure it is a smooth transition and i think thatis is a smooth transition and i think that is the right thing. what matters most is not the exact date that we leave but the fact that we do leave. are you confident that any vote in parliament will mean that one yearfrom vote in parliament will mean that one year from today we do leave the eu as you plan to? i'm very confident. we are leaving the eu one year from today regardless, parliament has voted for that. the decision on that was when parliament triggered article 50 by an overwhelming majority one year ago. we are leaving in 12 months‘ time, but as to whether parliament with

except the agreements with the eu, i‘m confident it will because we will have a sensible package for our withdrawal and the future relationship and i think parliament will be very supportive of it. chris grayling, thanks for joining will be very supportive of it. chris grayling, thanks forjoining us. we have some breaking news. this is regarding sergei skripal and yulia skripal and we understand yulia skripal and we understand yulia skripal is responding to treatment and improving. she is improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition. her condition is now stable. her father remains critical condition. her condition is now stable. herfather remains in critical condition. her condition is now stable. her father remains in a critical but stable condition, this is come from the salisbury nhs trust. —— this has come. they have been giving regular updates on the condition of the patients since the

incident. it says they are pleased to inform us that yulia skripal is improving rapidly and her condition is now stable. herfather improving rapidly and her condition is now stable. her father remains improving rapidly and her condition is now stable. herfather remains in a critical but stable condition, they say. the medical directorfor salisbury district hospital says that she is pleased to report this improvement and says that yulia skripal has responded well to treatment but still needs clinical ca re treatment but still needs clinical care 24 hours a day. this is on the day that the nerve agent responsible, the novichok, most of it was found on their front door, sergei skripal‘s front door on his house in so three. so that is news on yulia skripal, whose condition is improving —— on his house in salisbury. we will now go to brexit once again. so, how do people think

things will pan out once the transition period begins? danny savage has been on a road trip across northern england talking to people about what if any changes they expect to see. he travelled to lincolnshire, east yorkshire, county durham and greater manchester. our first port of call on our northern brexit road trip was immingham, a gateway to europe for trade. at the moment, around 60% of our trade on the humber is with the european union. 40% is with the rest of the world. they don‘t envisage post—brexit chaos here or at other ports, but last week‘s agreement on a transition period is very welcome. it does take time to increase the capacity of these systems to make sure trade with the eu can continue to flow smoothly and efficiently, and that of course is why the transition period is so important and so welcome. so a transition period is really important to your business, at least, going forward as brexit happens? absolutely right. from lincolnshire, it was on to guy poskitt‘s

farm in east yorkshire. he has lots of foreign workers. no fan of brexit, he accepts it will happen, but is frustrated by a long transition. ultimately, i want to grow my business, and the transition period is stifling it because we don‘t know if we can grow, if we‘ll have the staff to run the business. how can we expand or borrow money from the bank or grow the business if we haven‘t got the staff? while we‘re in this transition, we‘re in a delay, so it‘s putting a cap on the growth of the business. from east yorkshire, we headed north to county durham. we supply the usa now. a big market to us. and we supply france as well. ebac has just started making washing machines for the uk market and beyond. business is doing well, and brexit isn‘t going to change the outlook here. the way they sell products abroad or anywhere is to make good products that people want to buy. it‘s that simple. tariffs are inconvenient, not a deal—breaker. it‘s down to business people doing a good job.

i focus on running this business well. that‘s being a good british citizen and a good european. run the business as well as we can. after hearing from big businesses, we went south, then west. our destination was bury market in greater manchester, a busy mix of people on a friday lunchtime. we found graham kendall having lunch and looking forward to brexit. it‘s the change that people are frightened of. people should embrace change, really. change isn‘t necessarily bad. there‘s a lot of emerging markets coming out in the world, and we need to take advantage of those. karen simpson sells furniture from italy, and isn‘t so sure. we were remainers. i think we just resigned ourselves to the fact that it‘s out of our control now, and you‘ve just got to go with the flow. so... not a big fan, but it‘s just one of them things. you‘ve got to take it on the chin. and the owner of this greek deli is no fan of brexit either, with a weaker pound meaning higher prices. i‘ve got quite an older population that shop in bury market.

because of the uncertainty, and they don‘t know what‘s going to happen, trade has gone down. people aren‘t spending what they used to. or it‘s because the prices have gone up and they can‘t afford it. as ever, views are divided about what brexit will mean. but what is clear is that it‘s touching every walk of life and nobody is certain about the future. danny savage, bbc news. as part of the bbc‘s day of coverage — we‘re in bolton — where the majority of people voted to leave in the eu referendum. our chief political correspondent vicki young is there. i‘m gauging reaction about what people fear or are looking forward to in the future and there‘s a certain of frustration amongst people who voted to leave the eu, saying they want to get on with it, and they are not following every twist and turn of the complex negotiations. this is what some of them had to say.

to me,| to me, i think, to me, ithink, i to me, i think, i don't know how many years this country has been going downhill by being in the europe, andl going downhill by being in the europe, and i think hopefully it will pick up again. we knew we wouldn't get everything. as long as we get the things we voted for a ta ke we get the things we voted for a take back control, yes, and i thought they would be bumps in the road but we will get there for the i'm fed up about listing to brexit andi i'm fed up about listing to brexit and i don‘t want to hear any more about it. that man is not going to be happy about it because we are going to hear more about it. we are joined by a going to hear more about it. we are joined bya man going to hear more about it. we are joined by a man who works for the polish sensor. there is concern amongst the polish question mark yes, amongst freedom of movement,

and jobs, yes, amongst freedom of movement, andjobs, and yes, amongst freedom of movement, and jobs, and whether we will be welcome or not. do you fear that? i have been here 60 years and i have had no problems. some people who are newly arrived have apprehension about this. are the older generation is staying in the uk? the majority have come here to work. yes, they are concerned about it because they are concerned about it because they are worried about the increased costs a nd are worried about the increased costs and the pound is going down, so there is going to be a negative effect. there is concern about the jobs. why is a lot of polish people are returning home. —— quite a lot. you feel the uk should stay in the eu but does it matter, can we still have a close relationship with these other countries even if we are

outside of the eu? it is important to have a close relationship because at the end of the day we depend on europe and they depend on us to a certain degree, finally and economically and in other ways. —— financially. we are part of europe at the end of the day, and only the channel tunnel divides us. has there been hostility towards the polish people? since the referendum campaign. not so much unwelcome, but there have been some problems because the media has whipped up the issue of immigration and i think that was the wrong approach because immigration affects every community and why pick on polish people. the majority of them came here to do work. it has not been well, amongst the polish community and there have

been some problems. —— it has not been some problems. —— it has not been welcome amongst. you voted for remain, do you accept the result? some people say we have got to try and reverse the decision. yes, i voted to remain because i could see the problem is forthcoming, and maybe if there had been more information we could have made a properjudgment, now information we could have made a proper judgment, now we information we could have made a properjudgment, now we are beginning to find out more and more about it and people with different points of view. do you feel that you did not have the information that you needed? people prefer to listen to how wonderful it will be tomorrow and how this deal is going to happen at —— worldwide, and immigration will be stopped. life is not like that. thanks forjoining us. that is

eugene, the chair of the polish centre in bury and we will have more reaction throughout the day. studio: thanks forjoining us. jonathan bartley is co—leader of the green party, and joins me from westminster. one year to one yearto go, one year to go, what is your view on where we are with brexit? we opened the debate about freedom of movement and eugene there was talking about the things he values about the freedom of movement, we spoke about the farmer who will be impacted. we have a report three days ago from the government, which said we need migration and the nhs depends upon it. we could stay in the sin, did and still have that, so i do think that debate is done —— we could stay in the single market. in terms of the environment we‘re not getting

the environment we‘re not getting the safeguards we need, and this government is already being dragged through the courts over apple is and they are saying trust us after brexit, things will be better —— through the courts over air pollution. we need to maintain those minimal environmental standards and we only get that through legislation. those who voted for brexit said they would rather trust their own government with those issues and not brussels. it is not a winner takes all situation where you have one vote, it is ongoing process where we are all involved and one of the things about the problem —— the process , we the things about the problem —— the process, we have not had a meaningful say, but i think the public need to be front and centre in what is happening and our voices need to be heard. we also need a people‘s poll on the final deal so we have that say at the beginning

and at the end of the process and right the way through. the difficulty with that argument, brexit is being done to us, is that there was a referendum. very few people are happy with the way the government is handing the process. yes, there was a referendum, article 50 was triggered, but since then we have have a government poll —— by government held hostage by the backbenches, not really listening to the people, and this is actually controlled by a small group of people who are forcing their agenda on the rest of the country and that is not really democracy. what is the environmental issue which you think would suffer most as a result of brexit vladimir —— a result of brexit? the big one is climate change, there are others, but the big one is climate change. we have had the government‘s report which

admitted we won‘t hit our carbon targets and that is very alarming, we have a leasing 1 degrees of temperature rising. —— we have already seen. we have got to work with our neighbours and partners in europe to do this and we can‘tjust have a vague promises from government about achieving this when there is so much at stake. simon says, —— someone says on twitter, jonathan needs to get over it, we voted leave. i understand that, but we need to have these debates and honest conversations about what it will mean. more people are getting to grips with what the government is foisting upon us in terms of the brexit deal. it wasn‘t what many people thought they were voting for and this is part of the lifeblood of democracy, having these debates. if people don‘t like these debates,

they don‘t like democracy. people don‘t like these debates, they don't like democracy. jonathan ba rtley, thanks they don't like democracy. jonathan bartley, thanks for joining they don't like democracy. jonathan bartley, thanks forjoining us. earlier theresa may visited northern ireland where she met with farmers in bangor. our correspondent emma vardy is in warrenpoint on the irish border. the question of the irish border and how that would be managed after brexit continues to be an obstacle in the negotiations and theresa may was keen to reassure farmers and others that they would be no return toa others that they would be no return to a hardboard of the past. —— hard border. but what is still in doubt is exactly how that is going to be achieved, why is it so important here, well, people‘s livelihoods on both sides of the border absolutely depend on the free movement of goods. it will affect farmers and those in the food and agriculture sectors, it is so important to the

economy on the island of ireland, and after brexit what will happen? three options on the table, the uk‘s preferred option is to strike the comprehensive free trade deal, theresa may believes that will solve the problem and there will be no need for any customs checks for goods and travelling across the irish border, and the other option, it could be a technological solution, using trusted trader schemes, so there would also be no need for any customs checks, but the third option is to keep northern ireland are lined with some of the rules and regulations of the customs union and single market but that is proving to be the most difficult because the eu‘s suggestion is it would take northern ireland way from britain and keep it within the customs union after brexit which theresa may has rejected. there continues to be tension over the

issue of the irish border and theresa may‘s visit to northern ireland this morning is hoping to create more reassurance, but actually for people here on the ground there is continuing uncertainty that is wildly negotiations are being thrashed out, —— because while the negotiations are being thrashed out, they need reassurance that what is going to happen and what the transition period will be like and when it ends. thanks forjoining us. now to the making news. that the former russian spy sergei skripal‘s daughter yulia is recovering, after both she and her father were found poisoned. our correspondent duncan kennedy is in salisbury this morning. she could be talking to the police soon? we can't go that far, but her

health is improving and that is a positive. this is what is being said this afternoon, the salisbury district hospital is saying that they are pleased to inform that yulia skripal is improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition. she has been in a critical condition along with her father for the past three and a half weeks but the hospital now say that her condition is stable. herfather remains ina her condition is stable. herfather remains in a critical but stable condition. and then. chris dean blanshard, the medical director of the salisbury district hospital —— christine blanshard. the salisbury district hospital —— christine bla nsha rd. she the salisbury district hospital —— christine blanshard. she says she is pleased to report on the movement in the of yulia skripal and says she is responding to treatment, although she still requires care 24 hours a day. she thanks medical staff for what they have been doing. so no change with sergei skripal, he remains critical but stable, but

yulia skripal is responding to treatment. both have been in this condition almost since the beginning, three and a half weeks ago. this is the first time really, of any movement in the condition of yulia skripal, and last week of course we had sergeant nick bailey, the police officer caught up in this, he was released from hospital. but so far as the main targets of the nerve agent attack, it has been no change throughout, and we kept asking the hospital for condition checks but they said there has been no change. but in the last half—hour they have said that for yulia skripal it is looking much better. it is remarkable. and the investigation itself is focusing on the front door of the house? that is correct. just a few streets behind me where the activity is. what we have had news from, it is the house

where the nerve agent attack took place and they found the highest concentrations of the nerve agent on the front door of sergei skripal‘s house, and at the moment it is all blocked up, they have put wooden pallet length on it. —— wooden panelling. there‘s a big investigation going on, although they have been hampered by the bad weather. as soon as it clears they start working again. we don‘t know what the substance was and whether it was smeared onto the door but the police are just confirming that this was the first place that sergei skripal and yulia skripal came into contact with the nerve agent and they found the highest concentration on the front door which in many ways dispels the speculation we have been hearing, about whether it was an

attack in the restaurant or in the pub, or in the car, but now the police investigation itself is concentrating on the house which is where they are saying the nerve agent in its highest dose was found and where this couple first came into co nta ct and where this couple first came into contact with it. they have released other information, they have 1300 pieces of evidence and they have interviewed 500 people and they have interviewed 500 people and they are looking at 5000 hours of cctv footage but it is the idea of where this nerve agent attack took place that is most important in terms of what has come out today, the police have also stressed there isa the police have also stressed there is a very low risk to be members of the public and nobody is moving out. they are reassuring the public that living around here is very safe but they can expect this investigation to last many weeks if not many more months into the future. duncan, thanks forjoining us. barclays has agreed to pay

$2 billion us dollars — that‘s £1.4 billion pounds for allegedly causing billions of dollars of losses to investors in the run up this sounds a huge amount of money? yes, it is. it sounds an enormous fine, but this is a good day at the office for the executives at ba rclays office for the executives at barclays bank. office for the executives at ba rclays bank. they office for the executives at barclays bank. they decided they we re barclays bank. they decided they were given a bill which we don‘t really know, but i‘m told it was a couple of billion at least more than this amount in december 2016, they said they were not going to play it and they thought it was not fair and proportional, given their activity in the market in the run—up to the financial crisis will top the boss of ba rclays financial crisis will top the boss of barclays bank said they think this is now fair and proportionate and this is roughly half what they we re and this is roughly half what they were looking at originally. the share price has gone up, it will still cost them a lot of money, but

investors will be very relieved that it has come in at a lot less than before, and this is the first settle m e nt before, and this is the first settlement we have had under the new trump administration, and there was a feeling that the european banks we re a feeling that the european banks were treated more harshly than the american banks but it looks as if there has been a slight change with there has been a slight change with the new administration with donald trump. and they are pretty happy about where they have got to today. it could have been worse, but many people looking at that financial crisis and the difficulties since, they will say, this was down to the bankers, and now we are supposed to be relieved they are not getting fines as heavily as they might. that is true, but whether you like it, life is better when you have a bank which is healthy and making profits and putting these legacy issues behind them, barclays bank has said they can now focus on doing the job which is lending to the real economy, and extending loans and

credit cards, and they will say one more thing, but barclays bank is not out of the woods and they still have an ongoing series fraud office probe about how they raised money after the financial crisis rather than taking the government by that, they went to middle eastern investors, how that was done is the subject of an investigation —— government bailout. there is also a whistle—blowing inquiry, they have plenty on their plate. but they will consider today a good day at the office. simon, thanks forjoining us. a woman who was critically injured after being struck by debris from a building site crane in east london has died. police said the 29—year—old woman died in hospital this morning, two days after she was critically injured by falling bricks near a building site in mile end. officers are investigating the incident in consultation with the health and safety executive. the russian air force has carried out a training flight to the us over the north pole — the first time it‘s done that since the soviet era.

details of the flight — carried out by russian anti—submarine aircraft — were revealed by the russian defence minister. the announcement coincides with major naval exercises jointly conducted by us and british forces in the arctic circle. now it is time for the sport. there is only one story in town. yes, the story about the ball tampering in cricket is going nowhere. today, we have seen the emotional told that it is taking on the three cricketers involved. steve smith broke down in tea rs involved. steve smith broke down in tears in his press conference after he landed at sydney airport. he said he landed at sydney airport. he said he was gutted and devastated over his role in it all. he said that he would regret it for the rest of his life. before steve smith had landed, cameron bancroft made it to perth, where he apologised and also

admitted that he had lied in the aftermath. then david warner was the last to make it back to sydney and he had already apologised en route on social media. he did speak to the media. we will hear from on social media. he did speak to the media. we will hearfrom him shortly. cricket australia chief executive james sutherland has also been speaking in the last hour or so in south africa because of that test which starts tomorrow, the final test. he was speaking about the need to support the players. let‘s hear from the players first and then james sutherland. i made a serious error ofjudgment and now i am facing the consequences. it was a failure of leadership, of my leadership. i will do everything i can to apologise for my mistake and the damage that it has caused. i understand i have let many people down and i understand the disappointment in the broader community.

words don't mean much in the circumstances, so i will focus on my actions and conduct going forward. you can understand it has been a tough and emotional time for my wife and kids. at this present time, you will hear from me in a couple of days. at the moment, my priority is to get these kids in bed and rest up. and let my mind get clear so i can think. so i will talk to you in a couple of days. having spent time with steve, i know how sad he is. our hearts go out to him and also the other two players andi him and also the other two players and i want to reiterate the fact that right now we want to support them to the best of their ability. they have made mistakes, they have made mistakes that have had major,

significant consequences, like changing the stakes, but at the same time we should all support them. cameron bancroft will not be joining somerset county cricket club as an overseas player. they announced that on social media. darren lehmann yesterday said he was not quitting. today he said he was quitting. yes, this follows on from the emotional impact that we have seen, the effects on those players that have been involved with it. he had said that he wouldn‘t resign as head coach of australia. he is contracted until the ashes in 2019, but he has now reversed that decision. he said he came to that decision after seeing the emotions and the impact on bancroft and smith in their press conferences. he will take charge of the final test in johannesburg conferences. he will take charge of the final test injohannesburg which sta rts the final test injohannesburg which starts tomorrow. he was cleared of any wrongdoing by cricket australia, but he says that this is him stepping away and that will help

cricket australia have a full and thorough review in it without darren lehmann being involved in it, so the last test that he will be in charge of is the one that starts tomorrow. let‘s hear from of is the one that starts tomorrow. let‘s hearfrom him. of is the one that starts tomorrow. let's hear from him. i had no prior knowledge of the incident and do not condone what happened, but good people can make mistakes. my family andi people can make mistakes. my family and i have got a lot of abuse over the last week and it has taken its toll on them. as many of you sitting in this room will know, life on the road means a lot of time away from our loved ones and after speaking with my family at length over the last few days it is the right time to step away. and finally, there will be no british referee at the world cup this summer. for the first time since 1938. fever has chosen 36 officials by the tournament in russia, with none coming from england, scotland, wales or northern ireland. mark clutton berg was the

only on the long list of fifa‘s officials, but he left his job at the premier league and forfeited his place. that is all be sport from me for the moment. we will have more for the moment. we will have more for you in the next hour. thanks very much for that. let‘s get more now on theresa may‘s tour of england, scotland, northern ireland and wales to mark the fact that there is just one year until the uk leads the european union. the prime minister has said the important thing is making brexiteer success for everyone, so with one year to 90, for everyone, so with one year to go, howfar for everyone, so with one year to go, how far have we got and what still needs to be done? chris morris from reality tech reports. just one year to go until the uk is due to part company with the rest of the eu. it is also one year since theresa may triggered article 50 of the lisbon treaty, marking the formal start of the brexit process. in accordance with the wishes of the british people, the uk is leaving the eu. this is an historic moment, for which there can be no turning back.

well, after a stuttering start, negotiation on a withdrawal agreement have made progress. legal text has been made on a financial settlement, a divorce bill. the government says the uk will pay the eu up to £39 billion to cover things like outstanding bills and pensions. there‘s also broad agreement on the rights after brexit of eu citizens year in the uk and uk citizens elsewhere in europe, and crucially on the terms of a 21 month transition period after brexit when the uk will continue to abide by all eu rules and regulations. the transition will give governments and businesses more time to get ready for a new relationship in the future. but there‘s still an awful lot to do in the next 12 months. both sides have promised no return to a hard border in ireland. there are intensive talks on how to guarantee

that once the uk leave the single market and the customs union. there‘s also no full agreement yet on the role of the european court ofjustice after brexit. elsewhere, spain, for example, is insisting that it must be consulted on the future status of gibraltar. as for a new trade deal between the uk and the eu, talks on that haven‘t yet begun. the eu says the uk‘s red lines limit what can be achieved, but the uk still wants the most ambitious free trade agreement in history. customs is one challenge, fishing another. to reach a broad political agreement by october. a detailed trade negotiation will have to continue long after the uk has left. so is brexit on track? well, there are two big warning signs. firstly, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. in other words, failure to reach agreement on one issue could bring the withdrawal deal crashing down. and secondly, it‘s far from clear whether the government has a majority in the house of commons to win approval for the brexit it wa nts.

there‘s just one year left, but there still a long way to go. earlier, the prime ministers sat down with the bbc‘s political editor and was asked about what she is trying to achieve today and in the next year. the deal we want to strike for our future partnership with the european union is one that will be good for all parts of the united kingdom, but i‘m also listening to people. i met mothers and young toddlers today. i visited and young toddlers today. i visited a business already. i will be seeing farmers and others and hearing from them what they want from brexit. if you think about the children i‘ve seen here at the school, its about their future and we want to ensure that we get a deal that is right for the whole of the uk because there‘s a bright future at there for us and we wa nt a bright future at there for us and we want to grasp the opportunities that brexit provides and ensure that we strengthen the bonds of this, the more successful union in the world. do you understand why some people look at what‘s happening and are frustrated that they don‘t feel things are happening now. would you

say to our viewers, some of whom are frustrated that nothing seems to be changing yet. well, i why people because i understand why people voted for leaving the eu. immigration, taking back control of our borders, taking back control of our borders, taking back control of our laws and our money. this was all pa rt our laws and our money. this was all part of why people voted to leave the european union, and we‘re going to deliver on that. but we need to make sure that we do it in a way thatis make sure that we do it in a way that is best for the united kingdom, that‘s best for people‘s jobs, or people‘s features. that‘s best for people‘s jobs, or people's features. it means having to be patient. well, it means is intimidation period. but what is important is that certainty to business, it gives certainty to people about what the arrangements are going to be, as we move to that brighter futures. brexit included a big promise on the nhs. you are now making a big promise on the nhs.

some of your colleagues believe the extra cash could come from the so—called brexit dividend. do you believe there will be a brexit dividend, or might there not to be tax rises for the nhs? that is what some people are calling for. what we are going to do is work with clinicians, with nhs leaders, with others, to look at what the plan for the nhs on the longer term should be. we want to provide multiyear fund settlement and we will do that. once again, taking that balanced approach in how we deal with this. you ask about money from the eu, of course when we leave the eu were no longer going to be spending vast sums of money, year in and year out, sending that money to the european union, so there will be money available here in the uk for us to spend on our priorities, priorities like the nhs and schools. so do you believe there will be a brexit dividend? would you call it that? well, there will be money that otherwise we would be spending to the european union that we are going to spend on priorities in the uk.

and would you without a tax rise for the nhs? we are going to look at a multi—yearfunding the nhs? we are going to look at a multi—year funding settlement and we will ensure that as we do that we continue to take a balanced approach to our economy. that is what has enabled us to put money already into the nhs. we are already committed to spending it. so you are not ruling out take tax rise potentially? as pa rt out take tax rise potentially? as part of our normal processes, we will look at the funding, but we got to look at the long plan. finally, do you think brexit will be worth it? i think there are real opportunities for the united kingdom. i think there is a bright future out there and i think brexit is going to deliver. our country will be different, but i think there are real appartufifi§ ,, . will be different, but i think there are realepparfiifififorz will be different, but i think there are realepparfiifififora an future. nicholas. to

judge i his 2007 election campaign. a judge nicholas ‘ are and nicholas sarkozy‘slawyer are expected and nicholas sarkoay‘slawyar are expected to stand trial. they also expected to stand trial. they have denied any wrongdoing and did a separate case the president is accused of receiving campaign funding from the late libyan leader mohammed oaddafi. ben is here with the business news. first, we will bring you the headlines. the health of former russian spy‘s sergei skripal‘s. is no longer critical. she survived a nerve agent that police say probably happened at his home. with one year to go until the uk leads makes a uk leads the eu, theresa may makes a tour of all four nations in a single day and pledges to keep the country united. a senior labour party figure resigns in a row over a candidate who puti post on resigns in a row over a candidate who put post on casting resigns in a row over a candidate who put 9125 ;t on 7 casting
