The Prime Minister gives her clearest hint yet that leaving

the EU is likely to mean leaving the single market.

In her first television interview of the year,

Theresa May says a new relationship with the EU is not about retaining

I think often people talk in terms of somehow we are leaving the EU

but we still want to kind of keep bits of membership of the EU.

appearance since recovering from a heavy cold.

And who will waltz away with the awards at the Golden Globes,

and will it be any clue to Oscar success?

The Prime Minister has said the Government will take back

control of Britain's borders when we leave the EU,

and appeared to suggest that could mean leaving the Single Market.

In her first interview of the New Year, Mrs May said

We will not be keeping bits of our leadership.

Here's our Political Correspondent, Carole Walker.

After six months in power, the Prime Minister has begun

to signal what she wants from the Brexit negotiations.

She knows that no longer satisfies anyone.

Theresa May denies muddled thinking and said Britain would take back

control of its borders and appeared to hint that would mean

People talk in terms as if somehow we are leaving the EU

but we still want to kind of keep bits of membership of the EU.

We are leaving, we are coming out, we're not going to be a member

So the question is, what is the right relationship for the UK

to have with the European Union when we're outside?

Campaigners on both sides of the Brexit argument took that

as a clear signal we will leave the single market.

She had one question put to her three times

and still didn't answer it, which is, are you prioritising

immigration over access to the single market?

That was the question she didn't want to answer.

And I think now, ten to 11 weeks from the triggering of Article 50

and the most important negotiations for a generation, we need

more clarity than that and we haven't got it.

But Nicola Sturgeon warned any move to take Scotland out of the single

market as part of the UK could trigger a second

They will be making a big mistake if they think I am

We have to ask ourselves in Scotland, are we happy

to have the direction of our country, the kind

of country we want to be, determined by a right-wing

Conservative government, perhaps for the next 20 years?

Or do we want to take control of our own future?

Theresa May does not want her entire time in Downing Street to be defined

by Brexit and she stressed that referendum vote was a demand

for wider change to the way the country is run.

So she is promising a programme of social reform which she says

will help not just the poorest but every level of society.

It is about dealing with everyday injustices but also about all of us

recognising our obligations as citizens within the communities

It is about recognising that there is a role for government

but government needs to ensure that it is acting as effectively

as possible in its areas where it should be taking action.

She says her government will tackle the housing crisis,

the markets and change attitudes to mental health.

The Prime Minister's language is ambitious.

She will be judged on whether her policies deliver

Carole Walker, BBC News, Westminster.

Mrs May was asked today about Donald Trump. We are told that the Foreign

Secretary has been with the president-elect's team. The

Government is stepping up efforts to build a relationship with the

President-elect and his team. Tonight, Boris Johnson, the Foreign

Secretary, had three hours of talks with key members of Donald Trump's

team in Trump Tower. They included the son-in-law of the

president-elect and his chief strategist. I am told these

discussions were frank but positive with both sides stressing the

importance of the special relationship, laying the groundwork

for the Prime Minister to go to visit the new president, as he will

be, after his inauguration later this month. Theresa May herself is

talking about the importance of the special relationship. Today she said

she had had good conversations on the phone with Donald Trump. She

also said she found some of his comments about women in the past

unacceptable. You do get this sense that the Government is having to

work pretty hard to make up the ground here. There is no suggestion

that Boris Johnson is going to meet Donald himself whereas Nigel Farage,

the former Ukip leader, has had three meetings and Dodi has a seat

booked for the inauguration ceremony. Thank you. -- and already.

Four Israeli soldiers, three of them women,

were killed in Jerusalem today when a man drove a lorry into them.

Israel says it was a terror attack carried out by a Palestinian,

In the last 16 months, there have been a series of attacks

This was the deadliest injuries psyllium for months. Our

correspondent reports from Jerusalem.

This is what Israeli soldiers on a training

The one in the background has just got off a coach when this happens.

The lorry drives at the soldiers at high speed and hits them.

Then it backs up, apparently trying to crush more people before

All the soldiers who died were in their early 20s.

Witnesses who saw the bloody aftermath spoke of their shock.

I just saw the truck going from the road onto the sidewalk.

It took me some time to understand it was a terror attack.

The attacker was Fadi Qunbar, a Palestinian aged 28 from a nearby

You can still see the skidmarks in the dirt here.

This is the very spot where the soldiers were killed.

There has been an upsurge in Palestinian attacks on Israelis

But this is one of the deadliest that there has been.

And the use of a lorry is also something unusual.

Visiting the scene, the Prime Minister said this

was similar to recent attacks in Europe.

And that it could have been inspired by the so-called Islamic State.

TRANSLATION: We know the identity of the attacker.

According to all the signs he was a supporter of the Islamic State.

We know there has been a series of terror attacks.

There definitely could be a connection between them,

from France to Berlin and now Jerusalem.

Israel has blamed previous attacks on incitement by Palestinian

Palestinian leaders say they have been driven by anger after more

than 20 years of on-and-off peace talks have failed to deliver

And Yolande is live for us now in Jerusalem.

How is Israel responding to this attack? The Israeli cabinet has been

meeting. We understand from local media they have decided on a

controversial form of deterrence and demolishing the house of this lorry

driver. Israeli police have moved into the neighbourhood and closed it

off. They have made a number of arrests, including members of the

man's family. We are told the Israeli cabinet is also saying it

will now detained without trial those who it finds to be

sympathising with IS, although it has to be said that action is

inspired by IS in Israel and the Palestinian territories have been

very rare. What we have seen over the past 16 months in these

Palestinian attacks, most of them have been nice attacks. There have

also been some shootings and car ramming is as well. About 40

Israelis have been killed during that period. More than 230

Palestinians have been shot dead. Israel says most of them were

carrying out attacks, some of them were killed in clashes and protests

as well. In the past few weeks, it had seemed there had been a big lull

in these attacks. What will Willie concern people now is any idea about

changing. Here, Israel's ambassador to Britain

died. As president from 1989 to 1987, he tried to move towards a

Transport for London is warning of severe travel problems

in the capital in the morning because of a 24-hour strike

by Underground workers, which began this evening.

Our reporter, Andy Moore, is at King's Cross Station now.

Well, this is a strike by Tube station staff which could lead to

the closure of many stations in the capital. Transport for London says

services will be restricted. Siddique Khan says it will cause

misery for millions of Londoners. It is not just Londoners who will be

affected, tourists will be hit. Tens of thousands of people who bought

into the main London stations like this one will also be hit. This

underground station will be closed with O2 will stations at Paddington,

Waterloo and Victoria. What is the strike about? It is about staffing

levels at stations. Unions say they are unsafe. Sometimes there is only

one member of staff on duty at one time. There are last-ditch talks at

ACAS today. Transport for London said they would employ more staff.

The union said it was too little, too late.

Credit card and personal loan debt is at record levels, according

It says unsecured debt - that is money that's not

borrowed against property - has reached ?13,000 per household.

Unions are warning a slowdown in wage growth and increasing

inflation could make the debt more difficult to repay for

Here's our Business Correspondent Joe Lynam.

With the Christmas sales winding down, our finances

We appear to be taking on increasing amounts of unsecured debt.

That includes student loans and overdrafts but especially credit

Celine Jordan ran up credit card debts and overdrafts of ?23,000.

Her finances are in order now but she said getting

12.5 on this card, X amount on that one.

Britain has a record total now of ?349 billion in unsecured debt.

For the average household, that figure has doubled

since 2000 to almost ?13,000, which means we spend almost 28%

of our disposable income, which is our earnings after tax,

And that doesn't even include the mortgage.

We looked at debt across the board, because that is what people

And we did also see about two thirds of the debt is from an increase

So we do think these figures are cause for concern and we think

there are issues that we really need to be thinking about as we go

into this quite worrying year where people are expecting to see

maybe another living standards squeeze.

But while some types of debt might be rising,

What is more is interest rates are still very low.

But with interest rates set to remain very low,

regulators are worried that we may be taking on too many debts,

which becomes an issue if the economy weakens in 2017.

The Queen has recovered from her heavy cold and was well

enough to attend church at Sandringham this morning -

her first public appearance since the beginning of December.

Our Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph was there.

Her report contains flash photography.

It had been a much anticipated arrival.

Driven in an estate Bentley, it was the first time the Queen had

been seen in public since arriving on her Sandringham

Cheered as she emerged from the car, she arrived just before 11am

for this morning's church service, accompanied

She had missed church on both Christmas and New Year's Day due

Those who had waited were pleased to see her.

I saw her very close-up and she looked a little bit frail,

to be honest, but it's nice to see her.

Whenever you see her, you get a little buzz.

It is good to know that she was coming.

She did look quite bright in the car and that was quite nice, really.

The Queen's Speech, recorded a couple of weeks

before Christmas Day, had been one of the last times

She had also carried out an investiture in early December.

But over the past three weeks she has been laid low.

As a precaution, she was advised to stay inside and rest

and speculation that arose during her absence from church
