but for the eu, the basis of britain's economic model. by eu companies worth more than half £1 trillion. it would mean a loss of access for european firms to the financial services of the city of london. it would risk exports from the eu to britain worth around £290 billion every year. and it would disrupt the sophisticated and integrated supply chain is upon which many eu companies rely. important sectors of the eu economy would also suffer. we are crucial profitable export market for the european automotive industry as well as many others. these sectors employ millions of people around europe, andi millions of people around europe, and i don't believe that the eu's leaders will seriously tell german exporters, french farmers, spanish fishermen, the young unemployed of the eurozone and millions of others that they want to make them poorer just to punish britain and make a political point. for all these reasons, and because of our shared values and the spirit of goodwill that exists on both sides, i am confident that we will follow a bette

you say that they will treat the eu nations exactly the same as non-eu nations. l believe in a two state solution in the middle east? >> well i'm so happy to answer the second one. yes we do continue to believe in a two state solution in the middle east. and that is something we will be working for and will continue to work for. on the immigration issue, i said clearly we want to control immigration to the uk from the eu. the home office is working in various ways in which that could be achieved. but i also set out clearly today that we do recognize the importance of us welcoming people to come into the uk. we want to welcome the brightest and the best. we know the benefits that can bring. we recognize the value and the contribution that has been made by people in the eu have come here to the uk in the past and are still here.but we will set our immigration rules according to the objectives that i have sent out. is there anybody from the european Ãis figaro here? >> Ãon this immigration issue, will be there any exemptions from of course, the british sectors, briti

here's more on the reaction inside the eu. ere looking at this speed is that the first of all this has given a little bit more clarity, at not very much, from the eu side. what they say is that they understand that this is primarily a political speech that theresa may has had to give to a uk audience to try to rally people behind the british government's view, plan, if you like, for brexit. but here, interestingly, the reaction coming from the parliament chief negotiator who would be involved in some of the negotiations, he is said that theresa may was selling an illusion that the uk could somehow leave the single market, leave the customs union and still be able to enjoy all the benefits. so, privileged access to trade, ability for british companies to have access to the single market barrier free. companies to have access to the single market barrierfree. he said that would of course have to change because you wouldn't get such a good deal outside. another senior mep saying that theresa may had oversold the benefits of what c

but what we are seeing is that it the eu. but what we are seeing is thatitis the eu. eing is that it is quickly apparent they are being marginalised. even in the parliament they are saying everyone isa parliament they are saying everyone is a full member until brexit happens. it is quite clear that releva nce happens. it is quite clear that relevance is disappearing very fast to be that is very important for the uk, which will be part of the eu for many years. in terms of the mandate that michel barnier has, there has been reaction to the prime minister's speech. looking back to the very first bite simple things that angela merkel was seen after the referendum. —— politics europe the referendum. —— politics europe the four fundamental freedoms of the eu are not up for negotiation. and in paris and berlin, the does not seem to be significant recognition of that in london. they have not got the message. these things are not negotiable. and... it is not like an american express ad. mentorship has its responsibilities. the prime minister recognised the importance of the fo

my priority is to get the right dealfor the eu. ts at a tunisian beach resort 18 months ago has heard how security in the resort was criticised in a report produced for the government just months beforehand. a second day. it is shocking testimony. it has been very interesting. we been hearing from this very senior foreign office official, she had is the head of the government's unit on international terrorism. she's experienced in the middle east. the key question, the foreign office plays the important role in travel, because it puts out an advisory is for everyone to see on the internet, so you can look on the foreign office website and work out what the risk is. but we've heard today is that the foreign office decided not to increase its travel advisory, take it to the highest level which would be advising it is national against all travel to tunisia, despite their having been a horrific attack in tunisia in march 2015th, targeting —— in which 22 foreign tourists were killed. this came just three months before the attack which is

who should decide the process for taking the uk out of the eu? on, taken by 11 of the most seniorjudges in the land, was delivered to the hushed courtroom. today, by a majority of 8—3, the supreme court rules that the government cannot trigger article 50 without an act of parliament authorising it to do so. article 50 begins the formal negotiations for leaving the eu, a process which the judges said would fundamentally change uk law. the referendum is of great political significance, but the act of parliament which established it did not say what should happen as a result. so any change in the law to give effect to the referendum must be made in the only where permitted by the uk constitution, namely by an act of parliament. the verdict was clear - thejudgment spells parliament. the verdict was clear - the judgment spells out why the court had rejected the government's case. the government will comply with thejudgment case. the government will comply with the judgment of the court and do all that is necessary to implement it. the woman who brought

for leaving the eu. what is your reaction to her speech today7m for leaving the eu. ur reaction to her speech today? it was the best speech by the british prime minister on the the best speech by the british prime ministeron the eu the best speech by the british prime minister on the eu ever. in my long—time campaigning to come out of the eu did i everthink i long—time campaigning to come out of the eu did i ever think i would hear a british prime minister saying we would definitely come out and here are the 12 ways in which we will do it? i are the 12 ways in which we will do it? lam are the 12 ways in which we will do it? i am over the moon. she said clearly we will leave the single market, but on the customs union she was not quite as decided. she says she has an open mind, what is your view on what we should do?” she has an open mind, what is your view on what we should do? i have just come from the commons and that was expanded in the statement by david davies, the minister for exiting the eu. we cannot be in the customs union as it is now because they let the tr

the eu over the years so i think if the eu where to go down the route of making it impossible for thee loss of trade. we about of the that as well?l used to offset by the loss of trade. we about of the that as well? a few hours and the single internal market thatis hours and the single internal market that is a debate about to what extent the european court of justice, the court with and the eea follows the rulings and that is one of the things the premise that want to extricate herself from. we will ta ke to extricate herself from. we will take a look at a couple of other studies today. an 18—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a teenage girl whose body was found on a pathway in rotherham. the girl has been named locally as 16—year—old leonne weeks. south yorkshire police say her body was found by members of the public yesterday morning. the search for the malaysian airliner that vanished with 239 people on board has been called off. an underwater search has failed to discover a significant amount of wreckage and families say the decision to stop searching as

the four fundamental freedoms of the eu are not up for negotiation. are telling my colleagues in paris and berlin, the does not seem to be significant recognition of that in london. they have not got the message. these things are not negotiable. and... it is not like an american express ad. membership has its responsibilities. the prime minister recognised the importance of the four freedoms to the rest of the eu. she went back to talking about a close economic partnership. from the side of the uk side, we want to keep open as much of trade as possible. and put it back to the practical co—operation we have on economic issues like trade in goods, she mentioned cars and financial services as well. practical cooperation. they want to keep... can i ask you... can i ask you a question? no, we have not got time. if the government is now ruling out membership of the single market, why are the four freedoms relevant? they do not need to be up for negotiation. because if we are not going to be a member of the single market then the four freedoms do not apply. t

this will give the maximum certainty as we leave the eu. day after brexit as they did before. it will be for the british parliament to decide on any changes to that law after careful scrutiny and proper parliamentary debates. and when it comes to parliament, there is one other way in which i would like to provide certainty. i can confirm today that the government will put the final deal thatis government will put the final deal that is agreed between the uk and the eu to vote in both houses of parliament before it into force. that was part of what theresa may had to say. jeremy corbyn has been given his reaction to that speech. he was asked how his party's mps would respond in the commons. why wasn't it and said to parliament7 she should have been there. throughout the speech, there seemed to be an implied threat that somewhere along the line if all her optimism of a deal with the european union didn't work, we would move into a low tax corporate taxation, bargain basement economy on the of europe. i think she needs to be clearer about what

very they voted to leave the eu. d for brexit or for remain are in favour of us staying in the single market. how do you respond to the lib dems argument theresa villiers? the lib dems want to frustrate, implementation of the result of the referendum. that's not what he said? the reality is referendums are not best out of three. we had a vote. the turn—out was high. more people voted leave in this country that had ever voted for anything else in the history of british democracy. as the elected house, we need to obey the will of the people and vote to trigger article 50. do you want to respond? the difficulty for theresa, she knows that what the eu is going to look like is different from the views articulated by many members of the leave campaign. so there was no consistent view of what our relationship was going to be like of the that's why we think people should have their chance in saying either we like what the government are proposing in terms of the deal, or alternatively, actually, we think that the current arra

britain will be leaving the eu single market. that was the clear—cut message from theresa may as she set out her red lines for the brexit negotiations that are now just weeks away. her core demands are that: britain must be able to control the number of people who come here from the eu. british courts must have the final say in interpreting british laws. and parliament will get the chance to vote on whatever deal is negotiated. the prime minister is aiming for what she called a global britain that has the best possible trade deal with the eu while opening up to the rest of the world. and there was a warning too for her eu counterparts — she will walk away if eu negotiators try to punish britain. here's our political editor laura kuennsberg on a day when theresa may set out her vision for britain's future. good morning. what's the plan? on her way. have you got a plan? on our way out, notjust out of the european union... are we going to get a detailed plan? theresa may gathered ministers and ambassadors too. to confirm finally, we

for decades now britain has traded within the eu's single market. n hearing those days are numbered. so what is the european single market and what could britain get in its place? 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale explains how the current system works. every eu country is a full member of the club, norway, iceland, leached in stine, switzerland are part members. they all believe that if they get rid of barriers to trade and allowed goods, services, money and allowed goods, services, money and workers to move freely across their borders than their economies will grow. to this happen they agreed common trading rules. so a widget made in greece is the same as that made in spain and they set up a european court of justice that made in spain and they set up a european court ofjustice to make sure everybody follows the rules. supporters say the single market helps british companies flourish, like this engineering firm in bristol by making it easier for them to export their goods and employ people from across the eu. i think there's an obvious risk

what the relationship is like after we leave the eu. , you can decide to do this the right way or decide to do it a different way, which basically means the uk will certainly thrive and prosper but the eu will be damaged by that. obviously, i know you don't know what is in the prime minister's speech, but the sunday telegraph is quoting a government source as saying, "she has gone for the full works, people will know when she said brexit means brexit, she really meant it." is that music to your ears? the prime minister has been clear since last year, in october she said we are taking back control of our borders and we will make trade deals with the rest of the world. if you take that as a package back at the conference, she reiterated it a week ago, i don't think she has been anything else but clear. we will not be in the single market or the customs union because you would have to be subject to european law, but what she is saying is we are open for business so we want to be able to have a good free trade trading arrangement with the eu

once we are outside the eu we are the largest market for the european union. tland contributes 7.5 billion pounds to our economy, not to mention the huge contribution they make to our social fabric. what is he going to do to protect their rights and protect scotland's race in europe? we will not be managing the immigration policy or the migration policy in a way which harms the national interest. that means not causing labour shortages, shortages of talent and so on. that applies globally and to each nation, the uk as well. the northern secretary is hoping campaigning in next month's assembly election doesn't exacerbate tensions and division. northern ireland is going to the polls on the second of march following the collapse of the executive in belfast. thejeopardy first minister of northern ireland, martin mcguinness, resigned last week in protest at the handling of renewable energy scheme. that meant the first minister arlene foster was out of a job as well, meaning northern ireland executive was brought to a halt. they are hotly contested. this is part of t

negotiate the laws of the eu and the uk.t simultaneously you do your fresh deal at the same time. is that possible? no. i don't think it's doable simultaneously. it can start simultaneously, but any trade negotiation of this kind is very complex and will take a long time. i'm convinced this is not doable in two years. two things about that. and yet david davis, our chief negotiator, says it will be done by the end of 2018. you don't think it'll be done by then. do you think, knowing the complexity of all this, that the uk has a sufficiently high octane negotiating team ? very difficult to say. what i know is that, like any other eu member, the uk disbanded its trade expertise when it was transferred to the european union, so they have to reconstitute a whole body of trade experts and trade negotiators. this will inevitably take time, and by the way, be pretty costly. at least, that's what i'm told by my friends in the consulting and the legal business. so how long do you think it would take to strike a new deal with the eu?

if we are leaving the eu, that will undoubtedly sees. t extent, the jurisdiction of the european court of justice extent, the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice with golfers of that was always clear in the referendum result. —— jurisdiction would go. if we have to work in areas like home affairs, security with the eu afterwards, any other area, then decisions made by the european court ofjustice in luxembourg are going to continue to be important. ultimately, if we wish to participate, we would have to sign up to the regulatory interpretation that the european court ofjustice faces on it. just as we do for any other international arbitration tribunal in a treaty to which we are signed up. the alternative is to leave the treaty. i'm not sure where that leaves us in terms of the prime minister's aspirations. it is possible, as part of the negotiations, that we might ask to set up a separate tribunal to which we have a british judge involved. to decide or arbitrate on those areas in which we wish to participate, and areas, if we ar

is on the shelf for non—eu members. ll say she is looking for a bespoke dealfor the uk and it is reported one important theme, the prime minister will be respectful to the 27 other leaders of eu and say she wants a deal that works for the whole of the uk and a deal that works for the rest of the uk, because unlike donald trump, she wants the eu to thrive. so we thought we would look at some of these issues. a centralised european government would be a nightmare. such a europe can, in its economic and political strength, be a superpower. a superpower, but not a superstate. we will give the british people a referendum with a simple in or out choice. thatcher in bruges, blair in warsaw, cameron at bloomburg, and now theresa may closer to home. we have been waiting a long time for this moment, but the prime minister will deliver her definitive speech on europe as she explains how she is going to take the uk out of the eu. it will be detailed, as she answers critics who have chided herfor relying on platitudes such as brexit

now the european union, the eu. this was achieved by government ministers signing a treaty of succession and parliament enacting the european community's act 1972. over the next 40 years the developments in the eu resulted from further treaties, many of which were adopted in subsequent acts of parliament some of those acts curbed the exercises of the powers of uk ministers in eu institutions. one of those acts of parliament was in 2008, it approved the inclusion of article 50 into the eu treaties. in broad terms, article 50 provides that a country wishing to leave the eu must give notice in accordance with its own constitutional requirements and that the eu treaties shall cease to apply to that country within two years. on 23rd june, 2016, a uk-wide referendum produced a majority in favor of leaving the eu, and the government then announced its intention to trigger article 50. the issue in these proceedings have nothing to do with whether the uk should exit from the eu or the terms or timetable for that exit. the mai

he was a really good diplomat but also had that real insight into how the eu works. an‘s job was to be theresa may's eyes and ears at the negotiations in brussels. but in an outspoken resignation e—mail, he revealed that even he was being kept out of the loop, saying, "we do not yet know what the government will set as negotiating objectives for the uk's relationship with the eu after exit." that plan is being kept hidden, or at least it's still being prepared, behind closed doors in downing street. foreign secretary, was he pushed to resign? who is going to replace him? ministers today refused to give yes, a running commentary, or at least take any questions off their script. in terms of our preparations for brexit, we absolutely have the right resources. for months sir ivan had helped david cameron try to reform the eu ahead of the referendum, traipsing fruitlessly between london and brussels. but he said in his letter that his new political masters were not prepared for the even bigger talks ahead. the government, he added, should listen more to british officials i

judging by the reaction of eu leaders today, the answer to that would be yes.imf told newsnight has this warning. when you belong to a club, whatever that is, either sports or intellectual, whatever, the members of the club have a degree of affinity and particular terms under by they operate. somebody outside the club, sport or intellectual or whatever, have a different access. pascal lamy, also french, was both the eu trade commissioner and the head of the world trade organisation. will he offer a crumb of comfort? post election chaos in gambia tonight. the defeated president refuses to go, thousands flee fearing bloodshed, as nigerian and sengalese military forces prepare to take action. what's it like to watch on as your country is under threat? and could trump be a tyrant in the making. we consult plato. eventually, he stands alone, offering the addled, distracted, and self—indulgent citizens a kind of relief from democracy‘s endless choices and insecurities. good evening. now that the prime minister had laid out her vision for brexit, skills in diplomacy a

the prime minister says the uk cannot remain a member of the single market after it leaves the eu. in her most detailed speech since the brexit vote, theresa may said instead a global britain would seek a bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the eu. and the prime minister confirmed that a final eu deal will be put to the vote in both houses of parliament. the united kingdom is leaving the european union and myjob is to get the right deal for britain as we do. there's been mixed reaction to the speech. the lib dem leader, tim farron, said the plan would be, "bad for britain". this is a theft of democracy, a presumption that those people, the 51.9% of people who voted to leave injune 51.9% of people who voted to leave in june last year 51.9% of people who voted to leave injune last year meant the most extreme version of brexit available. also this lunchtime. the rate of inflation rose sharply last month, largely due to higher prices forfuel and food. the libyan man who claims britain was involved in abducting and transporting him to tripoli is given the go—ahead to take legal

britain will soon be on the route out of the eu. oks slightly less expensive, but money could still make or break the talks. and nickjoins me now. 0ur report shows there is something of a mixed blessing for david davis on that sum of money. 0n the one hand, the 60 billion euros figure seems to be coming down, but 3a billion euros is the figure doing the rounds now, a colossal sum of money. but before david davis can get to the talks, he has to get the parliamentary bill triggering the negotiations onto the statute book, and tomorrow there are three votes. there will be a vote on the snp amendment, which would stop the bill in its tracks. it will fail. the second one is about the second reading, that will go through, we expect about 29 labour rebels. the third and final vote will be on the programme motion, how much time should the bill have? it looks like a higher number of labour mps voting against the government on that. next week it is consider that committee stage, on the floor of the house of commons, and if, as seems likely, am

the eu will try to prove them wrong. e. the first time, the eu is about to get smaller, not bigger. much will depend throughout the year on the health of the european economy, particularly in the eurozone. the migration crisis will also be closely watched. and then of course there are two big external actors in europe. to the east, russia and the always difficult relationship european countries have with president vladimir putin. and to the west, a new factor — the sheer unpredictability of a president donald trump. what will he mean for european security and for trade? for decades, europe have relied on stable relations with the united states. in 2017, could that begin to change? when there's an emergency, and people call for an ambulance, there's an expectation that the crew which turns up are fully trained. but the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme has discovered that some staff at a private ambulance company based in essex, had as little as an hour's training on how to respond to emergencies. james melley, has this

no—one in the eu can make any move because article 50 has not been triggered. polish or romanian or other governments at having any role in this? i would say we are focused on the british government because we really believe they are the party that can make the first move. they have. we live in the uk, our government is the british government. we want something to be done immediately, in line with the prime minister's speech yesterday. i think there should be a resolution on the day that brexit is triggered. we live in the uk, our government is the british government. we want something to be done immediately, in line with the prime minister's speech yesterday. i think there should be a resolution on the day that brexit is triggered. i think there should be a resolution in place by both houses of parliament calling on the other member states to make similar arrangements. of course, this can be prepared by diplomatic channels before that date. there is time between now and the end of march to do so. do you agree with the prime minister that she should wait for agr

angela merkel clear, saying outside the eu, the uk could not cherry pick because from the eu perspectiveould not offer benefits that would make any other country want also to follow the same path outside the eu and from the eu point of view that is what we do greatest harm to their unity. two banks — hsbc and ubs — have confirmed they will transfer jobs from london to europe, after the prime minister said brexit would mean britain would leave the european single market. our business editor simon jack is at the world economic forum in switzerland. simon, hsbc have talked about this before, they were not bluffing? no, it seems they were not and have been saying for months if we left the single market they would move about 1000 high—paid bankers to paris and we also learned today more about how much business they will take. they will take 20% of hsbc‘s european banking revenue. they would not split it out but it is in the hundreds of millions, potentially billions of revenue, which is not the same thing as profit but a big chunk. ubs confirmed on plans they could move up to 1000 bankers, mo

the eu.'ll talk to ian watson in downing street shortly but first our political correspondent carole walker has this report. after months of pressure to tell us more about her brexit plan, theresa may will strike an optimistic note, telling us she wants a global britain that gets out into the world. the prime minister may not be explicit but she will again signal that she is ready to take britain out of the european single market and perhaps the customs union too in order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european law. order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european lawli think it is highly likely we will be coming out of the formal structures of the customs union and the single market because that is the way to grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents not just grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents notjust for controlling immigration but free trade opportunities. she will tell eu leaders we want to buy your goods, sell you ours, trade with

the first time the eu in two years. the first time the eu is about to get smaller, not bigger. is will also be closely watched. and then of course there are two big external factors in europe. then of course there are two big externalfactors in europe. to the east, russia and the always difficult relationship european countries have with president vladimir putin. and to the west, a new factor. the sheer unpredictability of a president donald trump. what will he mean for european security and for trade? 0r decades, europe have relied on sta ble decades, europe have relied on stable relations with the us and 2017 could see that change. the singerjanetjackson has given birth to her first child at the age of 50. in a statement, the musician and her husband, the qatari businessman wissam al mana, said they were thrilled to welcome the infant, eissa. speculation about her pregnancy surfaced in april when she postponed her unbreakable tour. hi there. 0ur temperatures are seesawing around at the moment. one day relatively mild, the next cold and it's the turn of the north of the uk to h

i don't think you can actually leave the eu u nless think you can actually leave the eu unless you arewe got a hang—up about what we will lose rather than concentrating on the opportunities?” will lose rather than concentrating on the opportunities? i think so. as my report says, the economic benefits of being in the single market are wildly exaggerated. we aren't going to stop trading with the eu. there were $250 billion of trade between america and the eu last year. they are outside the single market, they are outside the customs union. in the other direction, our biggest trading partner, the country that takes most uk exports is america. we haven't got a trade deal, they aren't in the single market... why are we so obsessed with trade deals? because most people who comment on politics are economically illiterate and they don't understand how international commerce works. trade happens because commercial people is the opportunities and they go for them. whether or not there's a trade deal. of course they trade deal will be great. we can cut trade deals while we are still in the europ

but for the eu, it would mean new barriers to trade with one of the biggest economies in the world, itopardize investments in britain by eu markets worth more than half a trillion pounds. loss of access and risk export 290 billion pounds every year and disrupt the sophisticated and integrated supply chain upon which many eu companies rely. important sectors of the eu economy would also suffer. crucial profitability export market for europe's automotive industry including sectors, energy, food and drink, chemical, pharmaceuticals and agriculture. these sectors employ millions of people across europe. for all these reasons, and because of our shared values and in the spirit of good will that exists on both sides, i'm confident that we will follow a better path, i'm confident that a positive agreement can be reached. it's right for the government should prepare for every eventuality but an approach of negotiations to come is in the best interest of europe and the best interest of britain. we do not approach these negotiations expecting failure but anticipating success because we are a gre

people will use it as an opportunity to block the eu. no, norman, that is not the case. i eu. an, that is not the case. lam eu. no, norman, that is not the case. i am sure a big majority of labour mps will vote to trigger article 50 and we are leaving the european union. that is clear. but theissue european union. that is clear. but the issue was what kind of relationship are we going to have with the 27 member states of the eu after we have left? that is what this negotiation is all about. the government needs now to publish a white paper. we had a speech from the prime minister that is not a formal document that parliament candidate. our select committee said they should publish a white paper. and the government will come under great pressure to do that. we need to see in front of us in parliament, set out in a white paper, the government's objectives for these negotiations and on—site consideration of the builder will 110w consideration of the builder will now come forward and the present amendments. parliament will want to say, we must amendments. parliament will want to sa

theresa may says britain will leave the eu and the priority is to control our borders, control immigrationeaders have made it clear that in order to do that, britain would have to leave the single market. philip hammond suggested we would leave the single market because we want to control immigration and that he was looking for a special arrangement for the car industry, the city of london, banking and doing global trade deals which suggests we would leave the customs union. what philip hammond is saying is if we cannot have free trade, if the eu decides to put up trade, if the eu decides to put up trade barriers, he is saying britain will have to change its complete economic model, slashing corporation tax, deregulating so we don't follow the same model as the eu. there are questions about how feasible that would be, is it something britain can do but it is likely to be seen asa can do but it is likely to be seen as a threat by eu leaders. the word that comes to mind is playing hardball. of course, from both sides. of course both saints are going to be talking tough. we have had reaction

well, the clock is ticking on the uk's departure from the eu. 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 triggering of article 50, is a loss to the government because he is a man of great experience and expertise in european matters, with deep knowledge. and we need that sort of experience to take forward the negotiations. you know her catchphrase by now, ‘brexit means brexit‘. but the most damaging accusation in ivan rogers' resignation letter is that perhaps she isn't so sure what it means after all. he says, ‘we do not yet know what the government will set what the government will set as negotiating objectives for the uk's relationship with the eu after exit." i think that makes us all believe what we a

but in concert with friends, whether those countries are inside the eu or outside the eu.king all of our mps not to blog article 50 but to make sure it goes through next week. let's get more now on our main story, donald trump's statement that waterboarding terrorist suspects is effective. it's an interrogation process that causes the subject to experience the sensation of drowning. speaking to abc news, the us president said he wanted let's discuss this more with phil ingram, a journalist who is a former british army intelligence 0fficer. hejoins me from our birmingham studio. in your experience, does waterboarding work? well, i've seen no evidence whatsoever to suggest that enhanced interrogation techniques, which include waterboarding, has ever provided actionable intelligence. 0bviously in any of the theatres that i've been in, none of these techniques have been used. but there's been no evidence of anything that we've seen historically lauren any report that it has provided a thing of great use. in fact, it has provided a thing of great use. infact, quite it has provi

of course, if we do not get a deal, even if the eu... people voted for? let me finish. even if we apply external tariffs, we would have to take some measures to make sure that brexit the economy can continue to thrive in one is a question of tax and to retain our competitiveness. you would have to slash public spending much more than we have seen thus far. we want britain to be competitive, that is what attracts investment and create jobs but these silly caricatures of britain becoming the singapore of the north sea, ido becoming the singapore of the north sea, i do not recognise that at all. we need to be brave and go into the negotiations hoping for the best and bracing for the worst. if you look at that yougov poll, to the extent the eu can trust polls, it strong as public support that if the government did not get a good deal it should not sign up to any terms that we are offered from rustles and in that sense the british public, despite the frenzied polarised media debate, is getting the high—end the prime minister. you are taking us

he denied the eu would try to punish britain for leaving the eu. it is not about punishment. i said that we need to find a balanced and positive agreement. i said we are friends and must work together. they even said so in the european parliament this morning in davos. but we must be clear that you cannot have all the advantages of being a member of the club when you are out of the club. 0ur british friends will bleed invented clubs. —— probably. they can understand that. there you. that is one view. and now for another view. 0livier vardakoulias is senior economist at the new economics foundation. the plot has thickened. no surprise at all to hear some of the big banks, global banks, who have big operations in london, are now rethinking. yes. that is because they perceive she has made unattainable pledges. she will go for a hard brexit, exiting the common market and the eu and also the common union. what they are afraid of, and rightly so, is basically that this will not guarantee the so—called passport writes. explain those rights for those uninitiated in financial services.

she's expected to say britain will make a clean breakfrom the eu. provokes europeans. it writes thatjust days out from his inauguration, the us president—elect‘s recent comments — about nato's relevance and germany's migrant policy have dealt a blow to the transatlantic relationship. the aerospace firm, rolls—royce, has reached a £671 million settlement with international financial authorities over allegations of bribery and corruption.

and the eu. it is a comprehensive and carefully considered plan that focuses on the ends, not just the means. with his eyes fixed firmly on the future, and on the kind of country we will be once we leave. it reflects the hard work of many in this room today. who have worked tirelessly to bring it together, and to prepare this country for the negotiations ahead. and it will, i know, be debated and discussed at length. that is only right. us to reveal urge more, such as the blow-by-blow details of our negotiating strategy, the areas in which we might compromise, the places where we think there are potential trade-offs, will not be acting in the national interest. game, orhis is not a in time for opposition propositions sake. -- opposition for opposition's sake. it is a crucial operation that will define the teacher and success of our country for many years to come. and it is vital that we maintain our dignity. that is why i have said before and will continue to say that every stray word and every hy

best deal for britain within the eu, what can we do? to do, we're coming out, let's get the best deal. i thought she was very clear. she still refuses to give a straight a nswer to she still refuses to give a straight answer to the question, are we going to be members of the single market. everyone knows we're not, but your refuses to say so. to do with the model, but she is not ina to do with the model, but she is not in a model, this was a parting jibe oi'i in a model, this was a parting jibe on the civil servant who, for all intents and purposes, wasn't the guy to be in charge brexit. this is ivan rogers, who resigned last week. as with david cameron, he played a very good hands badly and left us in this state. the i extrapolates from us, and says the uk faces a brexit break—up, because nicola sturgeon sergei wants scotla nd because nicola sturgeon sergei wants scotland to have access to the single market, and if it is a com plete single market, and if it is a complete break, she will say that as a green light to have another referen

the eu is making a mess of virtually everything. the eu's common asylum policy compounded hugely by angela merkel, and what we've seen are huge streams of people coming into europe over the course of the last year, no security checks done on anybody. or you could sign up for grassroots 0ut, an alliance of tory backbenchers and a few other characters. left, right! forward march! to victory! 0n the 23rd ofjune. as the battle went on, leavers capitalised on feelings that there was something fishy about the entire political establishment. i think this country has had enough of experts with organisations from acronyms. people have had enough of experts? what do you mean? from organisations with acronyms saying they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong. 0ld foes became firm allies, but among the tories, things were getting more and more unfriendly. boris is the life and soul of the party. but he is not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening. blue on blue, as it was known, turned into all—out war when ge

and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the look at the numbers you would pick the with the numbers you would pick the with the eu everytime. and, yet, we have had a vote where we are leaving the european union and now we are in a position where we have to leave an extremely advantageous trade relationship and make up for it with other deals. the prime minister has a job on her hands. president trump as saying that he will do this himself but we know that today it is just talks between the leaders. they won‘t do anything, it is just about the team of negotiators. as the uk have the right people in place to make, to do the negotiations without being eaten alive by your lot? the united kingdom does not have sufficient numbers of trade experts right now and at what is worrying, of course, is that they had to do trade negotiations with the eu and the other 27 member states and now, potential, with the united states. so, again, it is sort of like entering a boxing ring with one arm tied behind your back. and how about the us boxer?
