theresa may indicated that that would happen by march. it will be a two-year process, but it is the first time any country has left the european union. technically, nobody actually knows. britain positive relationship with the west, if you can think of it in terms of like a divorce, what the european has said to britain essentially is, show me what the divorce settlement will be. summing with the deal will be before you start talking about married someone else. we cover a lot of british comments and debate on the c-span network, tell us what that debate is like? the brexit referendum passed, but parliament gets a say? guest: yes, and the supreme court is ruled that the parliament should have a say. theresa may has done is try to a deal with the opposition that they will not move against brexit. there is a good sense in the u.k. that brexit has won. that this was a referendum put to the people. it was a direct and single question that the british people unequivocally. few lawmakers in the u.k. who would go against the vote of the people. t

[applause] minister, theresa may. [applause] cathy rodgers: nearly every day as we walked to vote for meetings in the capital, we passed by one of america's greatest wrens in that small -- friends in a small rotunda we call freedom lawyer. former british prime minister winston churchill. and on his statue it reads, on -- in the days to come, the british and american people will for their own safety and the good of all walk together side-by-side in majesty, in justice, and in peace. prime minister may joins us this afternoon at a time of renewed opportunity or both the united states and the united kingdom in continuing to walk side-by-side. her decision to visit america soon after our presidential election and the republican-led signalent took power to her commitment to strengthen the special relationship our countries enjoy. it is my honor to welcome from number 10 downing street, the first foreign head of state to visit and address our retreat, the honorable theresa may.

theresa may at the white house for talks with donald trump. president trump meets theresa may. talks in the oval office are donald trump is my first with a foreign leader since becoming president. trade is top of the agenda and strengthening the partnership between the uk and the us. mexico's president holds a phone call with mr trumpa president holds a phone call with mr trump a day after cancelling a summit over the us president's demand for his country to pay for a border wall. and on herfirst day in thejob, america's new envoy border wall. and on herfirst day in the job, america's new envoy to the un delivers a blunt warning to those who may oppose mr trump's policies. we will show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have oui’ and make sure that our allies have our back as well. for those that don't have our back, we are taking names. within the last hour, theresa may has arrived at the white house, the first foreign leader to meet president trump since he took office a week ago. let's show you pictures of the two leade

is it a good plan, orare we theresa may had to say. is it a good plan, or are we on theresa may had to say. is it a good plan, 01’ are we on a theresa may had to say. is it a good plan, or are we on a rex at cliff edge? -- brexit. she has laid out to 12 point agenda and it is the beginning of the negotiation. i thought it was notable for the detail. but also because of the hard position. we will see how it pans out. i guess i sort of felt she may have laid out the agenda as the first shots in a lawn and what looks as though it will be a very hard and detailed negotiation. the prime minister set out her stall a guess in response to critics who said there was very little detail. now we know much more about the detail and as you pointed out in your preliminary peace we do have a sort of brexit check through the house of lords and house of commons once the details are learnt. i guess that's why the sterling started to strengthen after a week period. as you say she was talking sternly and may have learned from donald trump. donald tusk sa

theresa may gathered ministers and ambassadors too. to confirm finally, we will leave behind the way the country has made its living for decades. applause. as a priority, we will pursue a bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the european union. this agreement should allow for the freest possible trade in goods and services between britain and the eu's member states. it should give british companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within european markets, and let european businesses do the same in britain. but i want to be clear — what i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. privately, ministers had talked of preserving some parts of the special club, the market of hundreds of millions where our businesses can buy and sell without barriers. remainers had pushed her, but she believes it can't be done, because the rules of the single market come with unlimited eu immigration. the message from the public, before and during the referendum campaign, was clear — brexit must mean control of the num

we need to say bravo to theresa may. she did an incredible job in dealing with him, because she held her own and he loves strong women. i think the reason she brought up that he was 100% behind nato is that they strategically decided that that was going to happen. he is just decided that that was going to happen. he isjust as decided that that was going to happen. he is just as sensitive to reporters going back in history and saying they don't want her to be a poodle. just because blurted, theresa may doesn't. it's wonderful, because donald trump has always been seen as a blue—collar billionaire and she pointed out that they both ca re and she pointed out that they both care about the working class, about the people. and those are the majority of the people back to the grassroots and not the elite. we have to leave it there. thank you bromance rear analysis. 0ther other news now, other news now — the boss of a haulage firm and a mechanic have been sent to prison for the manslaughter of four people who were killed whe

theresa may said that trump was 100% behind nato. here in germany, there has been changes at the top of politics. the vice chancellor has given up his post as economy minister and taken over as foreign minister. one of gabrielle, first tasks will be to visit paris on saturday to meet with his french counterpart. these days, there is not a lot of time for job training. he says that germany should have respectful relationships with the trump administration. >> what ever hear from the u.s., we have to keep our transatlantic orientation. that is why i am traveling to the u.s. to meet with rex tillerson. i'm excited to hear about the challenges on both sides of the atlantic. that is not what the former economics minister is known for. everyone still has to get rid of their new rules -- get used to the new roles. >> i welcome you here in the ministry. >> they thought i should go first. >> oh i thought i should. >> he was appointed as the new economics minister. she too was pushing for a productive relationship with washington. >> after the

theresa may speaking for the president there. the camera we had was not on his face, so i can see whether he was not deny shaking his head. he didn't deny wishy stated there. how crucial is that? think i was pretty important. britain and its partners in the two are quite worried about his statements about the alliance, that it is obsolete, that america might not be as committed to it as it had been and is over how to state in that way" him that he was 100% behind it, you are right, he didn't say the words himself, but he did not refute her. it is an important signal. he said a need to become more nimble in terms of more modern challenges like cyber wa rfa re of more modern challenges like cyber warfare and making sure people pay their bills and their defence requirements for the alliance. something he has stopped about a lot. i would also say that if he's going to defer to the general in the wa ke going to defer to the general in the wake defer to him on the torture question, the general has been very clear that america is comple

theresa may's hope. but how close does she want to get to him? the prime minister made a quieter arrival, making her way down the windy steps in philadelphia. her convoy speeding towards her debut in trump land, here to make friends. no hate, no fear. a reminder right outside the 5—star hotel where they were both to speak, donald trump has many enemies as well. the prime minister's warm up act was the president himself. is he ready for her? i'm meeting with the prime minister tomorrow, as you know. great britain. i'm meeting with her tomorrow. i don't have my secretary, they want to talk trade, so i'll have to handle it myself. laughter which is ok. then it was her turn, with, as you would expect, fulsome reference to the friendship across the atlantic. it has been america's destiny to bear the leadership of the free world and to carry that heavy responsibility on its shoulders, but my country, the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, has been proud to share that burden and to walk alongside you at every stage. applause cheerin

theresa may in her stride. yes, moments of humour, donald trump saying he is a people person, he thinks theresa may is as well. he thinks theresa may is as well. he thinks they are going to have a good relationship based on this initial start. fascinating. donald trump's diplomatic debut on the world stage, theresa may more seasoned. she will be pleased i think, with how that went. you mentioned that question from laura kuenssberg, donald trump joked that it had ended the special relationship. interesting reaction and the content when he was asked about torture and his views on torture. he talked about his defence secretary's experience and wisdom and said, effectively, he would defer to generaljames mattis on these matters? he did. he went further than he has done. in an abc interview, he was asked a similar question about torture. he said, well, this is my position, i have been told it works by senior people. at the same time, i will defer to those around me. he went much further this time. he praised general

theresa may is a very thoughtful, structured, disciplined leader. she doesn't do things -- the press is trying to create an image that she's approaching brexit like she doesn't know how to negotiation. she's actually -- if you look at how she ran the home office, she ran the home office with a great deal of detailed, hands-on acc acum acumen. what she's doing in the short term is lay out a platform and first and foremost try to understand what type of trade agreement the uk and north america, mainly between theresa may and donald trump can be developed over the next month or two. >> you say she's had a good plan all along? >> i think the press has to separate her mindset and her team's mindset in terms of what they wanted to accomplish from how they implement it. i think they're muddling them. i think she probably has a clear view as to what she wants to accomplish. on the other hand you and i both know you can't negotiate a serious agreement in public. >> all right. what are you seeing in the business community? what are you seeing amongst your own

mark: theresa may is a pastor's daughter. she has been in parliament for 20 years to she is been home secretary for six years she is prime minister. we know donald trump's background. how close to the thatcher-reagan, touchy-feeley relationship today get? may described the relationship with opposites attracting -- they be that is not the reagan-thatcher starting point. they were ideologically aligned on so many areas and as a result were an easier fit. i think donald trump would like to see it in that sort of way. he has already talked about it in that sort of a way. there are certain similarities that we will wait and see on that one. what will be important is personal chemistry. give theresa may is going to take anything away, it is going to be establishing personal chemistry with president donald trump. mark: it has been a long day for you. guy johnson, at the white house -- stay tuned. we are not stopping. live coverage of the press conference at 1:00 p.m. new york time, 6:00 p.m. in london. what a day. vonnie: incredible

but no sign of theresa may just yet. sitting and waiting patiently but no sign of theresa mayjust yet. she is due to start speaking imminently. lancaster house, this is the building where mrs thatcher came to launch britain's membership and guess what, the single market. today, it is the day theresa may has come to end britain's membership of the single market. there is a certain paradox in the location for the speech today. she saying she has come here because it is a building which often hosts major international moments. it hosted the lancaster house talks where we granted independence to rhodesia as it is now zimbabwe. theresa may wa nted it is now zimbabwe. theresa may wanted to use this venue to set the backdrop for her speech to address the wider world, to be seen to be making a bigger global point about britain's place in the world, not just talking to the westminster village. that is why she has chosen lancaster house as a venue. there is an irony that this is the birthplace of our membership of the single market. it is going to mark the end of our membership of the single ma

donald trump is meeting theresa may. may's meeting is being held by the government that the transatlantic special relationship is valued by the new administration. the visit comes after mexican called offena nieto his own trip to washington amid wrangling about who will pay for the wall along the border. will holdrump and may a joint news conference. we will bring that to you. the white house and kremlin confirmed latimer bruton will speak by phone with president donald trump tomorrow. putin congratulated trump on his victory shortly after the election. the kremlin says they have not spoken since then. the kremlin has applauded their efforts to amend ties with moscow. sean spicer says investigations into what president trump says was widespread voter fraud in the election will be focused on understanding where the problem exists and how deep it goes. he has singled out california and new york. s the president will sign an executive order to launch the action today. belgium has sealed an agreement with france and the neth

this theresa may was asked about donald trump's remarks on torture and theresa may told journalists on the plane that, we condemn torture. she also says, also asked if the uk could still share intelligence with america if they allowed torture against our foes and she said again she was very clear. the prime minister, when asked if they could work together given their different sta nces work together given their different stances on things and the prime minister said, sometimes opposites attract. president trump has never been flattering about any woman whether they —— unless they are young and nubile. in some ways, this isa young and nubile. in some ways, this is a gift to theresa may that president trump has come out with these appalling comments about torture because it allows her to ta ke torture because it allows her to take the moral high ground, something the rest of the world will back her up on. most leaders would also do that and it gives her a bit of power in relation to trump because don't forget, his very own defence secretary has said he doesn't agree with torture. thi

donald trump, or theresa may? theresa may is clearly the answer to that question, which means she's going to have to tread very carefully with donald trump, who may be offering her all sorts of nice things, but there may be trapped in there as well. jon sopel at the white house, thank you. here in the uk, strong consumer spending helped the economy grow faster than expected at the end of last year. figures show it grew by 0.6% in the october to december period. it means the british economy expanded by two per cent last year, confounding predictions from some economists that there would be an immediate slowdown after the brexit vote. the chancellor philip hammond said the figures show the economy is robust, but warned there could be a period of uncertainty ahead, as our economics editor kamal ahmed reports. it was napoleon who famously and sarcastically called us a nation of shopkeepers, and the government will be pleased today the uk economy is still one based on consumers and the high street. britain's services s

what would you message be to theresa may right now? the message will be once the supreme court come up with the verdict and she must negotiate something better. the last thing we wa nt something better. the last thing we want is a hard brexit. thank you. we can now speak to two brothers who voted differently in the eu referendum. ian and nigel baxter are businessmen from nottingham. ian voted to remain, and nigel voted to leave the eu. ian, click to start you and see whether you are as upset about all of this is charlie was the?” whether you are as upset about all of this is charlie was the? i have a lot of time for charlie but has a response to this point is a bit over the top. i am a remainder supporter but i am also a democrat and the people voted to leave the european union and the prime minister is right to recognise that that means we have to take back control of immigration and our laws and take back control of money. if she is do that then i think unfortunately and it is not what i wanted but i think it is not what i wanted b

theresa may will be the first world leader to meet president trump when she travels to washington on friday. the prime minister says she won't be afraid to tell the president what she thinks. whenever there is something ifind unacceptable and will not be afraid to say it. after millions took to the streets in protest against the new president, the white house accuses the media of dishonestly reporting the size of the crowd at his inauguration. the ministry of defence says it has absolute confidence in the uk's nuclear defence system after reports that a trident missile test went wrong. the gambia's defeated leader — yahya jammeh — flies into exile, 22 years after taking control of the west african state in a coup. world number one andy murray crashes out of the australian open after a shock defeat in the fourth round. theresa may will be the first foreign leader to meet the new us president at the white house. they're expected to hold talks on friday and trade, nato and brexit are expected to be on the agenda. the prime minister has been speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr show t

he should not think about theresa may that. she is the serious politician and he would do well to take it seriously. i am not sure he has it in him. do you think he will take this special relationship seriously? he has called himself half british in the past. he has links with scotland in particular. under president obama, america but the special relationship on the back burner. the cross i work several centuries of history, many americans live here and work in britain, there have been ads and flows and moments of great degree meant and great discord. donald trump will see this as an opportunity to make a very good deal for americans. he is a man who wrote the book on making deals. he will drive hard bargain. in the late trade deal, who needs that small? is that britain who needs small? absolutely. if we think in terms of his trade points. justin terms of trade, donald trump's primary focus is on china. his second as canada and mexico. when it comes to getting ha deal with united kingdom he would like to make one but it isn't a

that is what theresa may is after. although one would imagine america cannot become entirely isolationist it is interesting that the world order of the last 50 years is something that the last 50 years is something that the americans of lead and been very much in the forefront. it could be very destabilising if the retreat too much. it could be if we take america first further than we have only seen it being demonstrated. it could lead to isolationism. we know the donald trump is not the manner suggested he is not a big fan of natal and will put more pressure on france and germany to up their natal financial investment. —— nato. it is one thing being on the campaign trail at getting into the system of government is slightly more constraining and it will be interesting to see how the system responds to him and how he responds to the system. these pictures were all over social media yesterday and make the papers today, the women's marches not just in make the papers today, the women's marches notjust in the united st

theresa may's speech was a wish list or a framework to work withm theresa may's speech was a wish list or a framework to work with. it is a framework. it is a starting point for negotiations. people like me, my job is to try to decode this for businesses. we have been decoding for seven or eight months through the referendum, through theresa may's elevation to become prime minister. quite what does she mean? we got it yesterday. there is no doubt we are leaving their single market. immigration trumps anything else, really, in terms of the politics of this. and you know what, it would suggest we are not going to have a divorce, because britain doesn't want to hold on to the family silver of the single market. for a lot of businesses i think that means we can quickly get on to looking at what the transitional arrangements look like, with what we have now and what it will look like in future. lots of questions but she has set out a framework. there are so has set out a framework. there are so many angles to this. when it comes to the city of london and rights and so on, some banks have sa

theresa may, once again, has oi'i team. theresa may, once again, has on the quiet refused to give a running commentary and has been doing important work in the background. to be fair, she is without doubt known as an incredibly hard—working individual. without doubt known as an incredibly ha rd—working individual. she without doubt known as an incredibly hard—working individual. she does her homework before she announces things. it does not surprise me a jot that she is doing the work. she has had phone calls with trump himself and he wants to be the new ronald reagan and margaret thatcher relationship. they want to build on the special relationship. she couldn't be more different, really, couldn't be more different, really, could she? considering how little she is on twitter. this is the interview with sophie rich on sky today, giving us a clue, or not, john, on where we are heading on brexit. not much of a clue. the problem with these big interviews with the prime minister is that she did not depart much from the pr

from what i understand theresa may is expected in aboutan i understand theresa may is expected in about an hour. the guard have been practising to welcome her. they have flags representing each state and their british and american flags as well. the meeting will happen before 1pm. then there will be a news c0 nfe re nce before 1pm. then there will be a news conference and lunch. she will have a fair news conference and lunch. she will haveafairamount news conference and lunch. she will have a fair amount of time with donald trump, but how much of that will be serious talk is not clear. she has an agenda that she wants to present and i think he is quite eager to show a successful foreign visit here. we will want to make sure it goes off without a hitch. or a least, his staff will want to. we're talking about two different people, per theresa may was saying the opposites can attract. the new york times said this morning that theresa may does not have it out of account. americans are getting used to communicating with their president by twitter. they are very different, the new york billio

frankly, i am repeating myself, this is another result for theresa may. much will be made of the body language. it did seem to get on, if you see their body language between them and how they interact in a press conference. donald trump seemed to be slightly more restrained, do you think?m was a calm and gentle donald trump, far more than we saw on the presidential campaign. certainly he was calm and rather reserved, actually. i even thought at one stage he was showing a little bit of nerves as he fluffed a few lines he had in front of him. he was calmer and more presidential donald trump than we're used to. the two of them... the key thing when you have these events is do they look at other during the press conference. does one defer to the other? we had a bit of that and that is a good sign. so... idon't a bit of that and that is a good sign. so... i don't know whether they will become as intermittent as margaret thatcher and ronald reagan but certainly the early signs look promising. other news now — the boss of a haulage firm and a mechanic have bee

theresa may is my the sunday express. theresa may is gie. the sunday express. theresa may is my maggie. the prime minister will be the first world leader to meet the president. the relationship is expected to be as close as margaret thatcher and ronald reagan. a lack of imagination. theresa may and a right wing american president. it will be like reagan and maggie all over again. it really does suggest a lack of imagination. this is not ronald reagan and this is not maggie. clearly different people.|j think i might end up missing margaret thatcher by the time this period is over. honestly! that would bea period is over. honestly! that would be a first. would be. listening to theresa may's speech i thought, my god, she is hard right in some ways, which margaret thatcher never dared to be quite that way. she wasn't so in yourface. to be quite that way. she wasn't so in your face. but one of the things in this story, it's all about wanting to go to the palace! he is like a little boy, isn't he. he wants a bigger party, a big reception. more than obama had. this is

they asked theresa may, when she was home secretary to intervene. finally, today a month before the preliminary hearing they were told that they had their way. we have a statement from the minister the legal aid he said it would be a travesty for families to be denied justice simply for a technicality, which is why he made the decision. this will remove any barrier for the family's solicitors. i'm sure the families will say, if it was such a small technicality, why had he taken so small technicality, why had he taken so long to get to this point. we understand that the legal process. tomorrow, but it should mean that by the time of that next hearing in february, the families will be able to be properly represented at the hearing. they have said they were at a disadvantage, because the other parties, have been able to brief barristers for a very long time. so, they feel a bit behind the game. we expect the inquest to resume later this year. it is the provisional date, we will hear more after that hearing. ok, many thanks. the chancellor, philip hammo

theresa may meets with president trump today. the u.k. prime minister hopes to lay the groundwork or a post-brexit trade deal. flattening the curve. the boj buys out more bonds to keep yields low sending the yen into its biggest decline in a week. the swiss banks profit more than triples in the fourth quarter. we break down the numbers later this hour. ♪ anna: very warm welcome to bloomberg daybreak: europe. from here in london. let us get straight to the numbers in ubs. profit has increased substantially. let us talk through how well they have done over the estimates including a rally in equity boosting banks security. you seeof those areas substantial improvements. increasing profit year on year. to give you an idea of the uplift in profits, fourth-quarter pretax profit 848 million swiss franc versus 234 million swiss franc's, the same period a year ago. inus is on the ground switzerland talking to the ceo of ubs at 6:45 a.m. london time. let us pull up the risk radar. show you where we are on various metrics. the boj is evident here.

two picked by the president, two by theresa may. you have said before that torture works, you have praised russia, you have said you want to ban some muslims from coming to america. you have suggested there should be punishment for abortions. this was your choice for a question? there goes this relationship! it is 205 years since the british set fire to the white house. theresa may had been advised to do something similar today. instead, her softer approach appears to have achieved results, reassurance on the key military alliance. on defence and security corporation, we are united in the reclamation of nato as the bulwark of our defence, and we have confirmed our commitment to this alliance. you have confirmed you are 100% behind nato. mr trump also said it was too early to talk about dropping sanctions on russia. on torture, mr trump is on record as saying he thinks it works. crucially, he says his new defence secretary does not. i don't necessarily agree, but i would tell you that he would override, because i am giving him that p

theresa may made a joke on the pair. theresa may made a joke on the plane and she said, sometimes having to heard that opposites attract? the bigger‘s daughter and the recount —— reality tv star —— the recount —— reality tv star —— the bigger‘s daughter and the reed talent —— reality tv star will meet. then they will get gifts. will it be a tiffany box? there was the big one given to the 0bamas and they did not know what to do with it. have you seen know what to do with it. have you seen the film love macro actually? there was a press conference in that. we will see what will happen tomorrow. that will be live on bbc news wherever you are watching in the world. tensions between mexico and donald trump are escalating — fast. the mexican president has cancelled his visit to washington next week. he wasn't left too many options after mr trump unleashed these tweets. if mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. that is what's happen

theresa may will be here later. british prime minister may will be the first leader to meet donald trump at the white house. traveledber, abe shortly after the election to meet trump at trump tower when he was not the president. he is now. the big question is what kind of relationship are we going to have here and who is going to have the upper hand in this relationship, if anyone? att, let's kick this around little bit because there are a number of angles to pursue. trade and security are the two main ones that theresa may will likely focus on. let's focus on the trade story. theresa may comes to the united states in need of a card to play with the europeans. in some way, she needs a global relationship. the u.s. would certainly fulfill that. donald trump, with the mexican story hanging over his head, probably looking for a way to find a convincing narrative that shows that he is not a protectionist, that he is open to global trade. maybe actually sidling up to the u.k. is one way of doing that question mark -- doi

how was theresa may's received 7 we defined her legacy? how was theresa may's received? we will tell you. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the health secretary jeremy hunt has indicated that a key nhs performance target could be scrapped. he told mps that the guarantee that all hospital a&e patients be seen within four hours might only apply in future to those in need of urgent care and not to those with minor problems. mr hunt said there needed to be an honest discussion with the public about the purpose of a&e departments. our health editor hugh pym has the latest. whatever the intense pressure on the nhs there's a commitment for hospitals to assess or treat almost all patients within four hours of arriving at a&e. but at a time when the service in england is creaking under the strain that's been thrown into doubt. secretary jeremy hunt. the health secretaryjeremy hunt surprised mps by claiming that people going to a&e without good reason were undermining the target. it is clear we need to have an honest discussion with the public about the purpose above stomach w

the metro says theresa may's comments on brexit today get the strongest hint yet that she's prepared to take the country out the single market. good evening and welcome to bbc news. four israeli soldiers, three of them women, were killed injerusalem today when a man drove a lorry into them. israel says it was a terror attack carried out by a palestinian who was then shot dead at the scene. the israeli prime minister claimed he was a supporter of so—called islamic state. in the last 16 months there have been a series of attacks by palestinians on israelis. the hamas movement called today's a "heroic act" — but stopped short of claiming responsibility. this report from yolande knell contains images you may find disturbing. a hazy view ofjerusalem. this is what israeli soldiers on a training course had come to see. security camera footage shows two groups. the one in the background has just got off a coach when this happens. look at the top left of the screen. the lorry drives at the soldiers at high speed and hits them. then it backs up quickly, apparently trying to crush more peop

something they say theresa may did not address. i expect many businesses from the uk to move to europe. i expect also some financial companies providing services from the city will also move to europe. so there will be some significant losses. theresa may hasn't mentioned a word about these potential costs and potential losses. as for the threat mrs may may walk away, choosing no deal if she isn't satisfied — that hasn't gone down well, even with the uk's closest neighbours. no deal will also be bad for the united kingdom. so it it isn't as if they hold all the cards. the united kingdom will look after its own interests. we will look after ours. and here today one mep summed up reactions to me, saying he thought theresa may was overselling to the british people both what she could achieve in trade deals with other countries and how much access she would get to the single market. the prime minister claimed today that she wanted to act in the interests of all parts of the uk and said the devolved administrations should be fully eng

what's going to happen on friday when theresa may meets him? is he going to offer the uk particular concessions which could then be used as leverage over the rest. >> can she start working on the details of this brexit, is that smart, or do you need to wait for the details of brexit? >> she can start the discussions, but she can't finalize an agreement. while we're still in the eu, the eu has competence over trade agreements. she can start discussions. i think she should. i think it's important to show the world that britain is global, as she says. she's also planning to visit china in the near future. we need to give business the confidence that international trade is still very important dimension for the uk. >> just reaction from the uk attorney general. he says the government is disappointed by the outcome of the supreme court case. i want to get back out to nancy hungerford outside the supreme court. nancy? >> yes, we have just heard from the attorney general, the government will comply with this decision, and worth noting that the secreta

yes, directly responds to what reza may has set, —— theresa may, she says scotla nd has set, —— theresa may, she says scotland is not being listened to. she says scotland cannot be taken out of the eu without it being able to consider its future. at the end of last year, nicola sturgeon laid out her preferred options. she wa nted out her preferred options. she wanted a hail of the uk to stay in the single market, and if that wasn't possible then scotland should be allowed tuesday. it did not sound like that was under consideration in what theresa may said today. so what does that mean? nicola sturgeon rolled out the idea of having another independence referendum in 2017, buy cialis is dated that she is not bluffing about having another referendum on scottish independence at some point if scotland is driven offa at some point if scotland is driven off a hard brexit cliff. maybe it sounded very much like the kind of ha rd sounded very much like the kind of hard brexit she said could provoke another vote on scottish independence. let's go to chris page in belfast. she did talk about the jo

theresa may unveils a bold i2 frontpage. theresa may unveils a bold 12 point plan for brexit. we will break free from eu judges. david is indicating not 100% clear that we are definitely going to be leaving the single market, although the papers seem to suggest it. the customs union. the customs union is still 50-50, but customs union. the customs union is still 50—50, but she has made it clear there will be no negotiation on the free movement of people, which means the single market is finished because angela merkel and francois hollande will not negotiate on that either. no, and as the daily mail says, its headline is we will regain control of our borders. that was one of the very big mantras of the brexit campaign, and breakfree from eu judges. let's open a ten second parenthesis. wait this is being viewed on the continent, the former prime minister of france, manuel valls, thank you, clive, is the president elect... we could do a bilingual show... the president elect has given a great psychological boost and that is very good and nice for the government, but the point is

theresa may again, she mentioned the fact that she is the daughter of a vicar. schumacher emphasised that in her speech. however, on the other hand she also said that we do share the same values as countries as well as leaders. in terms of the belief in liberty and hard work and those typical conservative values. yes, acknowledging the difference but saying that we can form a new partnership together. looking at the next front page, the message coming across, with the guardian again saying, opposites attract. issue making the best of a bad lot, jason beattie, or do you think her team thinks there is a journey or something that they can work with? let's go back one step first. should she have gone at all? the fact she's the first world leader, it is seen by some as a great coup. and the brexiteers are loving it, thinking, not only is she the first to meet the new president, but she could be the new president, but she could be the first to get a new trade deal. and others are saying, is it looking a little bit needy? is she fawning, is this an act of desperation?

to be fair to theresa may, i think she did say they are sticking with sanctions. she thought held her ground but yesterday in philadelphia she was also saying, we should have a new relationship with russia and its actually the same sound coming from the president hopeful in france. if he is elected he is very much in favour of changing completely different foreign policy towards russia, so it is not something we haven't heard in different parts of europe. it is something which is gradually taking ground andi something which is gradually taking ground and i see it coming with theresa may. she is trying to hold on to what is british foreign policy but it is changing. what do you think we will get out of that call oi’ think we will get out of that call or what will we be told to come out of that call? i suspect we won't be told a lot of useful information. except that it is tremendous and fantastic. we had the same thing with the mexican president. it was a great conversation, we got on really well. nothing of substance was reported and i suspect it will be a while

i think you are also, theresa. i can often tell how i'll get along with somebody very early, and i believe we are going to have a fantastic relationship. after a spate of accidents, a call for lorry drivers to be banned from using satnavs designed for cars. in sport: they haven't met in a grand slam finalfor eight years, but serena williams is taking on her sister venus for the australian title and a record—breaking 23rd major crown. it is now 2—2. and chris has the weather. it is not as cold as it has been over recent days, but we have got some rain to contend with today and it is stilljust about cold enough for some of that rain to fall as snow in the hills of scotland. good morning. first, our main story. the actor sirjohn hurt has died. he was 77 and had recently been ill with cancer. he starred in around 200 films including harry potter and was nominated for an oscar for his roles in the elephant man and midnight express. our correspondent nick higham reports. a stirring and memorable role as joseph in the

theresa may has ruled that out, so are. theresa may has ruled that out, soiam are. theresa may has ruled that out, so i am going to oppose triggering article 50. are you going to have to resign? at the moment i'm thinking about my constituents. i will be meeting lots of people there. for you resign? i am focusing on my constituents. she did not say that she would resign. it is not clear what punishment shadow ministers who vote against article 50 will face. we have not heard from the leadership yet. diane abbott said that she understood their concerns, but she urged them to think about how it would look if labour mps were seen to ignore the referendum result. this reflects the wider problem that labour faces of trying to appeal to all the different groups of its supporters. the supporters are divided down the middle between leaving and remaining. jeremy corbyn, a serial rebel, is finding out just how hard corbyn, a serial rebel, is finding outjust how hard it is to be on the other side. thank you. we now go to bristol crown court. we are expecting state m e nts crow

maybe theresa may will flatter her eyelashes. i don't think it will work too well on donald trump, but she will be firm and clear. what she doesn't want this to be seen as is the new margaret thatcher and ronald reagan show. she gets rather cross when people compare her to mrs thatcher, but she will be hoping for a constructive meeting with donald trump because she needs an important trade deal with the united states, because as stephen said, we are leaving the eu. it's interesting, and you mentioned the thatcher and reagan relationship. she mentioned that relationship many times in her speech to republicans last night. it was one of the touchstones, together, special relationship, a bit of churchill, and then it was thatcher and reagan. it's something trump has mentioned as well. the thing about thatcher and reagan, though, is that they were a team, i remember it well. they had big problems to solve. i don't think trump isa problems to solve. i don't think trump is a team player as much. he's happy to have her as a sort of wing

theresa may may desperately need something. she wants to try and have something to cover up slightly the difficulties that she is going to face in the year to come as a result of her decision to leave the single market. mark: going global is working. trump in his first week has been quite -- protectionist in his measures. if trump after the mexican president pulled out yesterday going to want to show his more global intentions? is this an opportunity to step back from the more protectionist stance he showed in the first week? >> no, he has had plenty of opportunities to do that up to now he has chosen not to do so. i have given up trying to predict what president frump's next move is going to be. i think people are having to wait and see what comes next. to ink the data here is rely on this great headline of prime minister may meets president trump and actually not really focus on what this would mean going forward because this could have a huge impact on various industries in he u.k. at the moment, we're focusing on the headli

i‘m afraid that theresa may is failing that test. it's theresa may is failing that test. it‘s not good enough to issue a very wea kly it‘s not good enough to issue a very weakly worded statement saying we could not agree with what donald trump is doing. us newspapers are calling him a tinpot dictator. america, in the past week, has suffered its ugliest start to any republic in the history of the country. we need to bejoining other western leaders in standing up to this and not cravenly endorsing it. it isa this and not cravenly endorsing it. it is a completely new era in politics, right across the world. it is a completely new era in politics, right across the worldm is, but has theresa may grasp this? she is surrounded by these special advisers that the papers always talk about being incredibly intelligent, but maybe she should consult a psychologist, who would tell her that donald trump is suffering from narcissistic personality disorder, he is prejudiced, vengeful. it is totally obvious, it is not politics as usual and theresa may has to catch up with that. let's m

it is the visit to america by theresa may. many of the papers show the picture of theresa may and double trap holding hands. many of the papers show the picture of donald trump and theresa may holding hands with the words "love at the white house." the hand holding also features on the mirror's front page which describes the meeting as something of a love—in. the guardian calls it the new special relationship and suggests theresa may has been reassured by president trump and several key issues. the telegraph refers to donald trump and theresa may as the happy couple who have shown that opposites attract. the times signals trump's praise for exit and shows him pointing at the bust of winston churchill, now reinstated in the oval office. the independent‘s headline mentions president trump's backing of brexit and the confirmation theresa may said she was given that he backs nat0100%. and the ft regards the meeting as a success, saying trump hands may the promise of ‘stronger‘ special relationship. the sun has its own excl

i listened to david davis as well as theresa may and i am none the wiser i'iow theresa may and i am none the wiser now and i do not think they are either. do you think she is relying on the goodwill of our eu partners? she is saying, let's be sensible, the best thing is we carry on with free trade. she is appealing to their better nature. is there any sign that they will give us what we want? they will not give us what we want, but that is the right approach. the right—wing eurosceptic press are triumphant because we got the whole country to vote to leave the whole country to vote to leave the eu, but the whole thing in terms of punishment by the europeans or as poking them in the eye, that is not the attitude that will be struck by theresa may or angela merkel or anybody else. sensible people on both sides of the channel will wish to preserve as much as they can of the present benefits of britain being a member. if britain pulls out of membership, we want to avoid trade barriers and doing too much economic damage. we have to minimise the political damage and reassure people that we ac

theresa may at the white house for talks with donald trump. president trump meets theresa may. talks in the oval office are donald trump is my first with a foreign leader since becoming president. trade is top of the agenda and strengthening the partnership between the uk and the us. mexico's president holds a phone call with mr trumpa president holds a phone call with mr trump a day after cancelling a summit over the us president's demand for his country to pay for a border wall. and on herfirst day in thejob, america's new envoy border wall. and on herfirst day in the job, america's new envoy to the un delivers a blunt warning to those who may oppose mr trump's policies. we will show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our

i suspect what happened was, in order to get theresa may in first, the prospect ofa theresa may in first, the prospect of a state visit may have been dangled in front of the president's aides. it is an example of britain's soft power. ideally we should have said there would be a head of government was at first followed by a state visit after we had signed a free trade deal with the united states perhaps in 2020. but we're not in an ideal world and it is important for us to establish our primacy in the relationship with the united states. theresa may achieved a very significant thing in that meeting with donald trump, which was to get him to accept the importance of nato in terms, and if you recall the press conference, when she stated what they had agreed, looked at him with a gimlet eye and invited him to rub at it and he did not, he said, it is true. as an achievement for that first visit for a european leader to president trump, but was very significant, and a huge bonus for europe, and now making clear the united states is absolutely guaranteed to the article 5 guaranty of security o

coming shortly — the speech of theresa may's premiership. tomorrow, she sets out her vision of what brexit means and what our new relationship with the eu should be. after months of trying to hold all options open and disguise her thinking, she's coming off the fence. we've waited six months, but theresa may will finally join up many of the dots to spell out her brexit blueprint. also with us, the man on the right — michael gove. he's been visiting you know who. and he'll be telling us what trump did say, and what mrs may should say. and the shadow brexit secretary tells us not to be distracted by hypothetical deals with the us. also tonight, trying to stop your children falling for islamic extremism — letters from a senior diplomat to his sons. we have a series of well—funded and persuasive voices who tell us daily that islam is under attack and that we need to be on the offensive. is this really the case? i do not believe so. hello. clarity is coming. for seven months, the picture of what brexit implies for this country has been slow

prime minister theresa may. vonnie: maybe it is a function of the president having just taken up this role and theresa may being in her role for a substantial time longer. it seemed like president trump was holding his cards closer to his chest. on things like russia and , theresa maynato was laying out her positions and she said donald trump is 100% behind nato. hindshe was 100% be the sanctions. mike: the president has nobody working for him. his cabinet officials other than the national security trio have not been confirmed. has stepped in a lot over the last week with his tweets and comments in various interviews. bewas appearing to presidential and trying to contain his answers. on russia, he's under a lot of pressure from members of the senate. ohio alsob portman of put out a statement saying the senate should take action on the sanctions. they seem to be trying to box them in. mexican president put out a statement saying the two of them in their phone call had agreed not to discuss the wall in public. may
