it's important we have someone in the job as sir ivan was doing and no doubt his successof ivan was doingll do as well who will report back to the british government and through the government and through the government to parliament about what the other member states are saying and thinking because in a negotiation, it really pays to know whether —— where the other side is coming from. theresa may will trigger article 50 by the end of march and it won't be easy to get someone march and it won't be easy to get someone in place and ready for the start of the crucial brexit negotiations. carol is making the point that it went the easy to find somebody. as went the easy to find somebody. as we said, there were tensions between sir ivan and number ten. is that suggest that whoever is called in to replace him probably has to be at declared brexiteers? remember the civil service and that includes diplomats working in broad —— abroad, should be in partial. —— impartial. you heard from nigel farage that they believe he was in effect somebody who believed in britain remaining in the eu. that he wa

most bus wouldn't have heard of sir ivan rogers or thejob heard of sir ivan rogers or thejob he was doingrole is it? george, it was very important and it will be even more so when those brexit negotiations begin, because the ambassador here is not just an ambassador who hosts dinner parties. the way things work in this town, when the eu has to agree something, ambassadors from 28 countries sit around a table, thrash out the issues, then the ministers and leaders arrive to sign off on the final agreements. and leaders arrive to sign off on the finalagreements. losing and leaders arrive to sign off on the final agreements. losing sir ivan at this stage he's a big hole. now, he had spent the last three yea rs now, he had spent the last three years here doing exactly that, doing david cameron's renegotiation, so his supporters would say that he knows what is politically ozbilen for the uk to achieve. what you heard the other side say is that what the uk needs is an optimist, but in this town the talk about it taking possibly ten years to achieve a trade deal was well known before the referend

we know about the row over sir ivan. shouting and so on between civil serva nts shouting and so on between civil servants and politicians. how experienced was sir ivan at picking up experienced was sir ivan at picking up the more nuanced inferences from brussels. yes, a lot of the activity of brussels is based on personal relationships rather than ideology oi’ relationships rather than ideology or what people think a good outcome might be. a lot of it is a friendly handshake and a deal done behind closed doors, so someone like sir ivan was important as an early warning system, but i think there is a difference between sending back warnings about how other states might react to certain things if britain were to push them, and appearing to be hugely eeyore—ish as appearing to be hugely eeyore—ish as a figure appearing to be hugely eeyore—ish as afigure in appearing to be hugely eeyore—ish as a figure in the brexit deal, and i think that is what people in downing street had come to see. it is a difficult balance, isn't it?

do you think sir ivan has had a rough ride?ave happened in recent times but i think some of the controversy appears to have begun when a previous message, a private message he sent to ministers was lea ked message he sent to ministers was leaked and in that he reported what he was being told through europe, that it may take up to ten years to do the negotiations on a trade deal. now if that's all that happened, it shouldn't have been a personal mark against sir ivan rogers that he reported the fact as being the best evidence that was available as to the likely opinion of the other eu governments. if it was his own opinion as well, entitled to that, but when the united kingdom government had decided policy, as a professional diplomat, his requirement would have been to loyally carry it out to the best of his ability. good to see you. thank you forjoining us. german police have detained a tunisian man in connection with last month's truck attack on a christmas market in berlin, in which 12 people were killed. and tonight belgian

we have seen two versions of sir ivan rogers tonight. nick clegg are saying, someone who's not afraid to speak truth to power, showed theresa may what they're against the other 27 member space. those who haven't drunk the brexit grinned as he put it being pushed to the margins by those who campaign for brexit. on the other hand, they're saying he was in charge of they're saying he was in charge of the negotiation from a diplomatic that david cameron put in place before the referendum. which many brexiteers believe achieved absolutely nothing and only helped their case. they say here was someone their case. they say here was someone who is too gloomy, too pessimistic, two in favour of the european project and simply wasn't the right man for the job. that is the right man for the job. that is the argument on both sides. the suggestion is that number ten wasn't happy with the assessment from mr rogers, and as a result they were moving further apart. does that explain number ten's reticence in not saying anything about this huge resignation

sir ivan rogers has exited his role as britain's eu ambassador.n the bbc revealed his private advice that a trade deal with the eu could take 10 years, he was attacked by some leave campaigners for being pessimistic. diplomats are supposed to be, well, diplomatic. but in his resignation e—mail, he is anything but. he tells his staff: i hope you will continue to challenge ill founded arguments and muddled thinking, and that you will never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power. so until a recently faceless bureaucrat in brussels resigns, why should that matter here in britain? well, the clock is ticking on the uk's departure from the eu. the process has to get underway by the end of march. now, it was sir ivan rogers' job to find out and then report back the thinking of other eu member states before these crucial negotiations begin. it will take time to replace him. the government can't yet tell us a timescale and some former whitehall mandarins say his experience will be sorely missed. ivan rogers leaving at this time so shortly before the

he went on to say: those of the words of sir ivan rogers in an e—mail to staff.h me is seema malhotra, labour mp who sits on the brexit select committee. he didn't mess around easy? there is a bigger issue here. it was a stark public warning that six months on from the referendum you don't seem to be any further forward will stop what is quite shocking is that sir ivan, his comments about muddled thinking did not surprise me, he is saying that as an insider he did not know what theresa may and her ministers actually wanted to do and achieve and for those of us who observed the power premier list and her ministers the irony is that we have had the same impression. i think this is saying that the government needs to get its act together very fast because if theresa may gets it wrong, if the government gets it wrong, the people who will suffer our british families and businesses. it is our future and prosperity and security, and it is vital that they now come forward what they're negotiating objectives are going to be. but the government saying the plan is being for

some who've worked with sir ivan believe his departure is a real loss to the government.l, workable brexit is precisely with the expertise of people like ivan rogers, who's now been forced to the margins, forced to the side lines, because of the angry zeal of brexiteers who just won't accept anyone who says anything different to what they so happen to believe in. theresa may is losing someone who knows the corridors of the eu better than most. he worked for a former british commissioner in brussels. david cameron appointed him as ambassador to the eu in 2013 and he was a key member of the former prime minister's team as he tried to get an agreement on a new relationship with the eu before the referendum. in an unusually unspoken tweet, the former top civil servant at the treasury, lord macpherson, said: but leading brexit campaigners are delighted he's gone. sir ivan is part of the establishment that, frankly, haven't accepted the referendum result and are hoping that, frankly, it will never happen. i'm sorry to say, but the foreign office is stuffed full of these people,

he was a reminder of what sir ivan said. —— here is a reminder of what's ivan said.passion talking to ministers and downing street that there is a lack of preparation. i think they are getting on with it. theresa may vetiver clear statement backin theresa may vetiver clear statement back in october at the conference when she set out very clearly what the government would be looking to do, take back control of our borders are no longer be subject to european law and be able to make full treaties with other countries around the world. those three clear imperatives, and to get back the money we give to the eu, were a very strong plan. now the detail of how you go about that, that is what they are working on. they won't be invoking article 52 the end of march. i thought the e—mail interestingly said more about sir ivan than it did about the government. i see that one of the channels is now referring to him as i dashed i doubt i dashed i— ivan. because it is all about him. what they actually do is provide advice they actually do is provide advice the advice is not necessa

our eu ambassador, sir ivan rogers, has quit. as you mention, it isjust sir ivan rogers, has quit.you mention, it is just the four theresa may triggers article 50. i suppose you could argue that he felt he was due to stand up in the autumn anyway, that he felt that it would be better for somebody else to take over before that point and to see through the negotiations from the very beginning. however, this has caught a lot of people, notjust number ten, but across whitehall on the hop. i suppose the problem is speaking truth. his job was to say some rather unpalatable realities, to share some unpalatable realities with number ten. last month, after the brussels summit in december, he was the leading diplomat that suggested it might take britain ten yea rs suggested it might take britain ten years to negotiate a trade deal. and even then it might not be ratified by the parliament, which wasn't popular at the time. i suppose the point is, he is saying that he is getting the vibe, he would not have used those exact words, but he was getting the vibe from other eu countries that it was

sir ivan rogers has quit, with the formal negotiations on brexit due to begin in less than 3 months. reason for his departure isn't clear. he thought it might take up to ten yea rs he thought it might take up to ten years to renegotiate it all. clearly the wrong man for the job. the only great i've got, is that he didn't go the day after the referendum. so, where does all this leave theresa's may's brexit strategy? we'll be live at westminster and brussels. the other main stories on bbc news at 5 — a man has been shot dead by police near the m62 in huddersfield. mohammed yasser yaqub died during what's described as a ‘pre—planned' operation. there are more arrests in turkey after the new year's eve nightclub shooting, but the gunman who killed 39 people, is still on the run. it's been announced special events marking the 100th anniversary of the battle of passchendaele, one of the bloodiest episodes of the first world war, will be held this summer. and going full—circle. how vinyl is making a comeback, with the sales of records hitting a 25—year high. it's 5 o'clock. our main story:

peter lilley said it was sour grapes from sir ivan.o tell ministers what is happening in brussels. just because they don't like the sound of it doesn't mean he should lose hisjob. it smacks of one of the most appalling things in our campaign, when michael gove said, "we have had enough of experts". once we get rid of experts, we are in the hands of people like nigel farage!|j of experts, we are in the hands of people like nigel farage! i don't wa nt to people like nigel farage! i don't want to go down that road! the front page of the daily telegraph. may sets out a vision for brexit. by all accounts, she didn't tell the queen what her vision is. now the front page of the telegraph says we are all going to know. what is the vision? to remove any suggestion of muddled thinking, one of sir ivan's charges today, she says that her red line will be, if we are not allowed control of our borders again, we will not play any part in the single market. that will be the line over which she will not cross. to me, this smacks of desperation. why has

now senior officials are also being attacked, as they have been for weeks now in ivan rogers‘ case, forit dogma. that is a dangerous trend. because senior officials are there to provide fearless objective advice, not to sign up to the ideology or dogma of their political masters. sir ivan is part of the establishment that frankly haven't accepted the referendum result and are hoping that frankly it will never happen. and i'm sorry to say, but the foreign office is stuffed with these people from top to bottom. for decades they've been taking britain in the completely wrong direction and i hope sir ivan's departure is followed by many, many more. japan has renamed its de facto embassy in taiwan to officially include the word "taiwan". china has criticised the name change. japan's top representative said relations between the two countries are at their best. their mission had been called the "interchange association, japan" since the 1970s. japan is now taiwan's third largest trading partner and has the second largest number of foreign tourists. reports from saudi arabia say that a number

the unexpected resignation of ivan rogers a >> we regret the loss of professional, very knowledgeablewhile not always an easy diplomat who always loyally defended the interests of his country. rogers, ther robin british envoy to the european union, resigned on tuesday, leaving britain without an ambassador to the eu block. in a leaked email to his diplomatic staff in brussels, he criticized the prime minister's government for the lack of preparation of the brexit negotiations. >> we do not yet know what the government will set as negotiating objectives for the u.k. relationship with the eu after exit. i hope you will continue to challenge ill-founded arguments and model thinking and a you will never be afraid to speak the truth to those in power. conservativeent and pro-brexit mp, sir ivan rogers had to go. >> he writes in his email what i thought was almost verging on the pompous. he can -- confuses the word truth with advice. he may have his own opinions but he is not god almighty. confused about the idea that when he opens his mouth, he is speaking truth. the negotiation comes just

ivan: we have certainly got impacted.ess, in spite of it, grew first half and hour premium brands, prestige and above, grew 11%. it did have an impact, and i expect it to have a bit of an quarter as well. we will come through it and in yet remains very attractive for spirits, because it is a young population, the penetration of premium spirits brands is still low, and we remain optimistic of the growth prospects of india. it is our second biggest market in revenue terms and we have the market-leading position. scotch whiskey business is growing double digits. johnny walker was up 23%, soanya india is very attractive. indians of whiskey and they love premium whiskey, and we are a company that knows how to do that well. i wonder about china. the chinese love cognac, and that love affair cooled off at the beginning of this decade, but we are seeing signs of a turnaround. are you confident that the chinese market will continue to pick up? ivan: i am, and in these numbers, greater china business grew 22%. we have a fantastic b

ivan miskovic has told bbc news that many have refused shelters, fearing deportations. 15,000 people are living in tents as far south as greece, including the islands of lesbos and samos. aid agencies warn they are at risk of freezing to death. it's in the balkans, though, where the situation is far more urgent. we'll have that interview with a serbian official in a moment, but first, here's simon jones. the cold snap is tightening its grip. claiming more than 65 lives across europe. causing traffic chaos, power cuts and travel delays. this is sarajevo. the balkans have been particularly hard hit. temperatures have been as low as —15 for several days. there is major concern about the plight of refugees, particularly in serbia. some are being sheltered in reception centres.

in a letter announcing his unexpected resignation on tuesday, ivan rogers told his staff to continue to speak truth to power and challenge ill—founded arguments. let's have a look at the papers. the financial times front page looks at the abrupt resignation of britain's ambassador to the eu, sir ivan rogers, and says tensions with no ten, led to his departure. —— with number ten led to his departure. the daily telegraph also leads with sir ivan‘s resignation, reporting that theresa may plans to pick a brexiteer to replace him — "someone who backs the brexit cause wholeheartedly," it claims. more on that story on the front of the times, quoting sources saying downing street has been caught "on the hop" by the resignation. the metro focuses on executive pay, and has calculated that by lunchtime tomorrow, bosses at the top ftse 100 companies will have earned as much as most people do in a year. the daily mail carries a warning from the head of the nhs to hospitals apparently colluding with as it puts it, "ambulance chasing lawyers. " the story of the chelsea football fans convicted of r

ivan rogers have left. his name or the name of his successor. how important are these people who have been derided in some of the papers as the sir humphreys? how important are these people rather than the politicians? a good ambassador or high commissioner is gold dust. they are your eyes and ears in the country and they have... they are able to tell you forensically what the situation is. it is up to leaders to listen... or not. even though nobody should listen to experts! they are the experts of all experts. ivan rogers said he knew the british system so well, he knew the european system so well, he knew all the players. his replacement is also a very steady hand, but she's losing a key person. it is a tragedy for britain that he has resigned. simply because the world is getting so complex, the old order is being replaced by completely unstable and unpredictable orders. diplomats in this moment are key to the national interest because they understand the way the world is and the way it's going. the fact

this is sir ivan rogers, uk top diplomat at the european union, he has resigned weeks before wrecks itegotiations are expected to begin, we will be live in westminster to discuss this. these are new images released by turkey of the man they say is the gunmen behind the new year's eve attack on istanbul, we know what he looks like, but he is still on the run. and a key syrian rebel group, the free syrian army, has pulled out of a planned peace talk over the syria conflict, bbc arabic is going to explain why. todayis today is the formal start of a major shift in power in america, we had the newly elected congress meeting to the first time, the republicans hold both houses, these are, i was going to show you live pictures, they dropped off, as well as congress, bear in mind, january 20, the republicans control the white house, the dynamics within the republican party are becoming very interesting. republicans in the house of representatives had hoped to push this through, it is an amendment to weaken the body that overseas claims of misconduct against members of congress, a niche concern

the foreign office has confirmed that sir ivan morris has. after brexit. he did, at the last european summit, just before christmas, reporting was dominated, not by the proceedings of the summit itself, but by bbc exclusive story that came out that morning saying his confidence there was a very clear feeling around brussels that day that was difficult, and embarrassing for sir ivan, that was meant to be private advice, of course. it's what ambassadors do for governments. i suppose he has been in a difficult position since then. we don't know why he has resigned but it's reasonable to assume that news story is something to do with it. i think beyond that also reasonable probably to assume that there is some failure of synchronisation here between sir ivan, the uk's man on the ground in brussels and his political masters backin brussels and his political masters back in london. thank you. a new industrial plant has opened in india, which removes carbon dioxide from coal—fired boilers and uses it as a raw material to make baking powder. scientis
