"we“ ‘e‘ei‘i “a happen to hearing what was going to happen to me. if i had been in that situation, being awake and having to make the choice of trying to save my legs get them amputated, it would have been difficult. in some ways, i am glad i was in that coma and then just woke up, because it was not down to me. for me, it is a change from the active person i was before to being dependent and everyone else. especially at my age, because i want to get independence in my own life, so to get independence in my own life, so that was tough to deal with. now i'm at the stage where i am independent and it's a good feeling to have back. we saw the crash in macau over the weekend, so when you know, a horrendous looking accidents. it's not nice to see, especially when i know sophia so well. we've known each other for

yea rs well. we've known each other for years and i'm glad to hear she is going to be out the other side 0k. it's incredible, after seeing the accident myself, to be able to say that, because it looked a lot worse then hopefully her injuries are. i guess that proves that safety is improving and developing. although in my case, it didn't work out, i think there's been changes since my accident to safety that will stop these injuries happening again. it's co nsta ntly these injuries happening again. it's constantly developing, safety in motorsports, and we're going in the right direction with it. before the accidents, you're a 17—year—old with lofty ambitions, a british karting champion and your partner is going well, and now you're back racing, where are you act as a 19—year—old, still the same ambitions?”

where are you act as a 19—year—old, still the same ambitions? i have had a lot of people questioning have i really assess my goals? but i don't see it like that at all. my dreams have never changed, even after the accident. fi have never changed, even after the accident. f1 is still the dream of where i want to get to. the way i see it, this is a bug road, perhaps bigger than others have to go through, but i've been through such tough times, i know what to expect. i'm stillaiming for tough times, i know what to expect. i'm still aiming for f1, and i'm sure questions will continue to be askedif sure questions will continue to be asked if i can achieve what everyone else is achieving, but for me, i've had taxing questions asked of me so farand i'm going in all had taxing questions asked of me so far and i'm going in all right. the billy monger story, driven, is on bbc two at 9pm tonight. and we were talking about sophia floersh, who had that terrible accident in macau.

she has come through an almost ten—hour operation and her team say that she is fine. they have repaired one of her vertebrae with a piece of her hip. they say there is no paralysis and they expect her to be back racing in her own time. positive news after that accident at the back. that's all from sportsday, we'll have more throughout the evening. welcome back. theresa may has used a speech to business leaders to insist that her plan for brexit is the best option for protecting jobs across the country. meanwhile, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said that a good brexit plan must involve what he described as a radical transformation of the uk economy. jamie robertson has been speaking to cbi presidentjohn allan, who gave his reaction to mr corbyn's speech. i think he's clearly got a vision for the future of this country.

and he has identified, i think, some of the problems we have as a society. there is too much inequality. i think business and government need to work together to remedy that. i think we don't think that all of his solutions would work. in particular, we think nationalisation would be a step backwards rather than a step forwards. it would divert resources from much more important priorities. but you know i think it was good he came along. we appreciated him coming along and he told us about his vision. his agenda. what about his views on brexit and the idea of on brexit and the idea of a customs union? and a customs union, let's face it, was what the director—general of the cbi, has been asking for. indeed. i think we would be keen to see something like a customs union, whether it's called the customs union or something else, as part of the long—term solution. clearly, if we get through, if parliament voted in favour of the current proposal, then we will have time to negotiate a longer—term arrangement, which we would like to include some

form of customs union. it may not be precisely the way the current customs union is set up. i'm not sure that matters. that is something we will have to negotiate. it's not something we can impose on the european union. and i think one of the question marks we have aboutjeremy corbyn's proposed approach is whether it is possible to negotiate really as complex and arrangement as he wants to see, within the roughly 130 days that are left until we are due to leave the european union. and in that context, the best deal available at the moment is the deal that theresa may and company have negotiated. and we would hope that parliament will approve that and then we can get onto planning the longer term. basically, today we saw business, as represented by the cbi, get on board mrs may's schedule. yes. very much.

and i think that is a national view. i mean, this conference is taking place in london. on friday, we talked to all of our regional chairman. they were unanimous that we should back this deal. it's not perfect, but it's the best deal available to the british economy and the british people at the moment. we think it would be foolish not to approved. i think that is what came across loud and clearfrom our members, a much larger group of members, who were here at the conference today. the presence of the cbi there. nick miller has the weather. wind—chill becoming more of a factor ina wind—chill becoming more of a factor in a strengthening easterly wind. we are tapping into blues here, so after a mild weekends, that is history. plenty showers around, most

frequent across eastern parts of scotla nd frequent across eastern parts of scotland through the night, northern england, the east of northern ireland, running into east anglia and southern england. some places staying dry with clear spells, with the wind dropping a little in shelter, some frost around at the back most of us frost free with showers and a breeze, some sunny spells mainly in the east, becoming more widespread with increasing cloud through the day. cloud scattered everywhere in the afternoon with a raw easterly winds. starting to turn wintry on the hills, perhaps merging to give longer spells of rain through northern england. across western parts of scotland, avoiding showers, staying dry, but even here the temperatures struggle. we have that strong easterly wind, up to 50mph

for some across the north sea coast of england. the thermometer says this, but with the wind feeling much colder, feeling around freezing in some areas. tuesday night into wednesday morning, some showers will have more of a wintry flavour to them. just about anywhere across the uk on high ground. as we go through wednesday, northern ireland and scotla nd wednesday, northern ireland and scotland seeing wetter weather, rain, sleet and snow on hills. across northern ireland, a lighter winds than england and wales, haps chilly with sunshine coming out in the afternoon. egg rest of the week, low pressure to the south west, high pressure to the north east. less chilly, temperatures up on you few degrees. you're watching beyond 100 days.

the cia now reportedly believes the saudi crown prince ordered the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi. but donald trump seems happy to accept the prince's denials. the president said the prince had called him at least five times to say he wasn't involved. the cia doesn't agree. amid reports the mueller probe is wrapping up, mr trump says he is now unlikely to sit down for an interview with the special counsel. also on the programme... what happened to the tory rebellion? the eurosceptics are struggling to find the numbers to force a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. and have you noticed how effective the finns are at preventing wildfires? it must be all that raking.
