about what happened in this incident? bursting at assays that the buckingham palace of also confirmed that the duke was looked over by a doctor after this incident, the doctor confirmed that the duke was on injured in the accident. now norfolk police released a statement in the last hour which does give a few more details about the accident. they say that the female driver of the kia, and the incident involved a land rover and a kia which was driven by a woman with another female passenger, she sustained an arm injury and the female driver suffered cuts so both required hospital treatment and both the in kings lynn but have hospital in kings lynn but have since been discharged. they also added that it was policy that both

drivers were tested using breath testers a nd drivers were tested using breath testers and both provided negative. of course one would expect that this isa of course one would expect that this is a traffic accident which happened on the public road, there will be an investigation but those are the only details we have about the police response so far. do we know if it's common for the duke to drive on public roads? we know that he is a keen driver. there are pictures of him driving around. it is slightly more difficult to say these days, because of his retirement in october 2017 he has largely kept out of the public eye. he retired and said at the time he felt his bit was done and was trying to keep out of the public eye so we have not got the evidence that we might have had in previous years that i remember the last i remember the last time at windsor castle when president obama and michelle obama blue and that was in 2016, flew into the ground that windsor castle, they jumped car and princeville and drove them to
9:04 pm
windsor castle. he certainly has the driving we know well into his 90s. he isa driving we know well into his 90s. he is a very fit and healthy man for his age. somebody that likes to be independent, fiercely independent, and so driving i'm sure will be a pa rt and so driving i'm sure will be a part of that. sarah, thank you very much indeed. a new plan and a new date. theresa may will publish a new brexit plan on monday. and mps will vote the new version on january the 29th, just under two weeks. the government is also addressing the issue of a second referenfum. this is a from political correspondent chris mason. "a source said it suggests ‘in excess of a year‘ would be needed before another referendum. the document won't be published." today the prime minister spent the day in talks with politicians from all sides. let me show you some of the

pictures. they were groups of tory backbenchers including david davis who support brexit. jhereflrfithgtrberak here's caroline lucas from the green party. she said mrs may had refused to rule out a no—deal brexit and resisted the option of extending article 50. that would be to buy more time for parliament to find some common ground. the dup party leader arlene foster party leader and nigel dodds also met with the prime minister. remember the dup's 10 mps were crucial to theresa may surviving the no confidence vote. the irish border backstop has been

a central sticking point for theresa may's deal. this is an agreement that says if there's no new trade deal between the uk and the eu by the end of next year, the uk will remain in the eu's customs union until there is a deal. this is an article on the telegraph in which it says it's obtained leaked recording of a briefing the finance minister philip hammond gave business leaders. he says "very clearly removing the irish backstop arrangements cannot be negotiated." "there is no point in wasting a lot of time on that theme." the dv and greatest supporters would

like to put in more, the issue of the backstop. —— the du —— dup. jeremy corbyn was conspicuously absent. the labour leader says he won't meet the prime minister until she takes the prospect of a no—deal brexit off the table. this is a letter from jeremy corbyn to labour mps asking them not to talk to the government about brexit until no deal has been ruled out. here is the labour leader speaking earlier. last night's offer of talks with party leaders turned out to be simply a stunt. no sooner was she said the words in parliament than the government confirmed that she would not take no deal off the table. theresa may responded with this letter saying his call for a no—deal brexit to be ruled out before he meets her is an "impossible condition", and "it is not

within the government's power to rule out no deal." technically based on the legislation that currently exist that is true. jeremy corbyn has been criticised by some for not meeting theresa may. this tweet from independent newspaper writer tom peck, "whenever corbyn is asked why he invited hamas, hezbollah anyway tonight he's refused to go to 10 downing street novelist robert harris tweet % in on corbyn for refusing to meet the pm. and pathological secretiveness, i'can't help feetrng—shes just getting a taste of her own red lines." this is ashfield in the north of england.
