This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Waving goodbye to the European Union. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
Britain's Prime Minister says she won't hang around in starting | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
We will invoke Article 50 no later than the end of March next year. | :00:18. | :00:43. | |
A blow for Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister as exit polls | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
suggest his referendum on EU migrant quotas has failed, | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
The New York Times says it has documents suggesting Donald Trump | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
could have legally avoided paying federal income tax | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
And there's voting too in Colombia, the President casting his ballot | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
on a peace deal between HIS government and the FARC rebels. | :01:00. | :01:18. | |
The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has confirmed | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
the government will begin the country's formal exit | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
from the European Union by triggering Article 50 before | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
She told the annual conference of her Conservative Party that | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
a Great Repeal Act would undo the legislation which took Britain | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Carole Walker reports from the conference in Birmingham. | :01:37. | :01:51. | |
Huge applause for Theresa May at her first party conference as Prime | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Minister. 100 days after the referendum, she said it was right | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
for the government to have waited before triggering Article 50 to | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
begin the formal negotiations, but she said she would not let things | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
drag on too long. Let me be absolutely clear, there will be no | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
unnecessary delays in invoking Article 50. We will invoke it when | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
we are ready and will be ready soon. We will invoke Article 50 no later | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
than the end of March next year. Alongside the negotiations, the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
legal process. The Prime Minister promised a great repeal bill to | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
remove the act that brought us into the community -- European Community, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
which will transfer EU laws into UK law is. Our laws will be made not in | :02:45. | :02:56. | |
Brussels but in Westminster. The judges interpreting those laws will | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
set not in Luxembourg but in courts in this country. The authority of EU | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
law in Britain will end. She had a direct message to those suggesting | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
the Brexit vote would trigger a second referendum on Scottish | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
independence. We will negotiate as one United Kingdom and we will leave | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
the European Union as one United Kingdom. There is no opt out from | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Brexit and I will never allow divisive nationalists to undermine | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the precious union between the four nations of our United Kingdom. Many | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
here are delighted that she is demonstrating the government getting | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
on with the process of reading the EU. But there are some big | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
questions. The Prime Minister has set out some of the practical steps | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
under underway to take us out of the EU. She rejected the idea of a | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
trade-off between access to your's single market and controlling | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
immigration, but she still hasn't told us what terms she would demand | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
for a future Brexit deal. Outside the conference, campaigners who want | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Britain to stay in the EU staged a protest. The Prime Minister made it | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
clear there would be no going back, no second referendum after the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
biggest vote for change this country has ever known. But two years of | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
tough negotiations will determine what that will mean for voters on | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
both sides of the continuing argument. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Has Theresa May's speech gone down well elsewhere in Europe? I asked | :04:35. | :04:47. | |
our European editor in Budapest. The European Commission which will be | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
key in those negotiations says it will not comment formally. It has | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
been met politely with a slight shrug of the shoulders. She will | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
launch those Brexit Torts by the end of March. That is six months away | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
and in the meantime, EU leaders are waiting impatiently. They don't know | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
what type of Brexit she wants and they have another dose of crises | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
such as migration and Eurozone woes. We learnt a bit about what happened | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
teas are, including securing of Britain's borders. How has that gone | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
down there? As far as the EU is concerned, this is the time when the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
ball is in Theresa May's court. She decides the date when talks start | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
and she tells the EU what type of Brexit she wants. But once the talks | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
start, the clock starts ticking and then Brussels feels it has the upper | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
hand because as it has foreseen, there are only two macro years given | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
to Britain not just to get the future trade till it wants, or any | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
regulation on borders, but also it needs to use that time to untangle | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
itself from 43 years of UK EU relations. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
More than 98% of voters in Hungary have rejected EU migrant | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
It is a result the president says is outstanding and cannot be ignored | :06:20. | :06:34. | |
but legally give vote changes nothing because the turnout was less | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
than 50%. This is a referendum which Viktor | :06:36. | :06:49. | |
Orban wants to win and win well. He planned it as the cherry on the cake | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of his campaign against illegal migration and to launch a new role | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
for himself on the European stage. If the lesson win, win to resign? | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
Yes. Referendum in Hungary lead a 50% turnout to be legally binding. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
There were signs this one will not reach that but the overwhelming | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
majority of those who did take part voted no to compulsory migrant | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
critters. That could allow President Orban to claim at least a partial | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
victory. I voted no because I am afraid that it will damage our | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
culture or our religion. Opponents of the government had three choices. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
To vote yes to migrant critters, to boycott the referendum altogether or | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
to spoil their vote. Over 1000 refugees is not a big deal. I think | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
we have to help with these people. The Hungarian government has | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
insisted throughout the refugee crisis that Europe fortify its outer | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
borders. This referendum was an attempt to refocus the debate on the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
asylum seekers who have already arrived. Should they be | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
redistributed to many countries as the European Commission wants or be | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
treated as illegal immigrants as a Viktor Orban suggests? | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
US Presidential candidate Donald Trump declared a loss | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
of hundreds of millions of dollars in 1995 - that's according | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
to the New York Times, which says it has seen his tax | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
The newspaper alleges that the documents show Mr Trump | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
a tax deduction so substantial, it could have allowed him to legally | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
Mr Trump's campaign has refused to publish his tax returns and said | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
in a statement that Mr Trump is a highly-skilled businessman | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
It added that Mr Trump had paid hundreds of millions of dollars | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
estate taxes city taxes, state taxes, employee | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Joining me on the line from New York is Pulitzer Prize-winning | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
journalist David Barstow, who co-wrote today's story | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
This story has caused a storm since you published it last night. How did | :09:31. | :09:45. | |
you come by these documents? The documents were actually mail to us. | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
One of my colleagues on the story is unlike most of us very zealous about | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
checking her mailbox every single day and they arrived in and | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
envelope, three pages of documents, and immediately our question is, are | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
these documents will? Can we authenticate them? When did they | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
arrive? Did they come off the back of Hillary Clinton bringing up Trump | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
is macro taxes? They arrived before the debate. Donald Trump's taxes | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
have been one of the central issues of the campaign a bunch of us had | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
been out there beating the bushes, seeing if we can find a way to get | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
to his taxes. The reporter who did receive the envelope has written | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
some extensive stories about Mr Trump's finances, so yes, she was | :10:51. | :11:00. | |
the lucky recipient of three pages of documents. What exactly do the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
documents reveal? What they reveal is that in 1995, Donald Trump | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
declared on his taxes a $916 million loss and it makes some sense | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
immediately, because in the early 1990s was a very bad time for him | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
and his businesses. He was losing tonnes of money in his casinos in | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Atlantic City and many of his other business ventures were losing money. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
What is I think a revelation from these documents is the extent to | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
which Donald Trump was able to use our tax codes to benefit from the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
financial wreckage he left behind in the early 90s and what's more, that | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
that enormous loss of over $900 million could be used to avoid | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
paying any income taxes on an equivalent amount of money he might | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
have earned over the following stretch of years. In all we are | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
looking at an 18 year period that he could have avoided paying taxes on. | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
The Trump campaign says it has paid hundreds of millions of dollars of | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
taxes over the years and this story is does not paint a full picture. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
What is your response? In that long list of taxes you just described, | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
one tax in particular you didn't mention and that is federal income | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
taxes. That is really what is at issue, federal income taxes is what | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
just about everybody in America pays and the notion that a billionaire | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
could have gone 18 years without paying any income taxes is obviously | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
the reason why the story has created such a ruckus over here today. Thank | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
you very much for your time. Now for a look at some | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
of the day's other stories. Dozens of people have been killed | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
in Ethiopia in a stampede when a religious celebration turned | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
into an anti-government protest. The event took place | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
in one of the country's most sensitive regions, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
Oromia, which has seen several There have been explosions and | :13:29. | :13:41. | |
gunfire in the disputed territory of Kashmir. The Indian Army says a town | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
has come under attack. Both India and Pakistan claim Kashmir. Tensions | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
have increased since a deadly attack on another Indian army base two | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
macro weeks ago. Russia says its Foreign Minister | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Sergei Lavrov has had a phone conversation with the US Secretary | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
of State John Kerry about "the possibility | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
of normalising the situation around It follows the heavy | :14:03. | :14:03. | |
bombardment of the Syrian city. Doctors in the rebel-held part | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
of Aleppo say the city's main hospital has now been put entirely | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
out of action by air strikes. Stay with us on BBC World News, | :14:10. | :14:14. | |

battle it out for the Ryder Cup. We'll have the latest | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
from Hazeltine. Here in the UK, one person has died | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
and another remains in a critical condition in hospital | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
after a light aircraft crashed The plane came down | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
near Hardwick airfield, approximately 16 miles south | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
of Norwich, this afternoon. A man in his 80s, was | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
pronounced dead at the scene. The pilot is in a serious | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
condition in hospital. Three people are still in hospital | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
after yesterday's fatal crash involving a bus carrying | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Rangers' supporters. Ryan Baird, who was 39 | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
and from Dumfries, died in the incident | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
on the A76 near Kilmarnock. The renowned British conductor | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
and violinist Sir Neville Marriner Sir Neville worked with orchestras | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
across the country and around the world in a career | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
spanning seven decades. He started as a violinist | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
with the London Symphony Orchestra and went on to found the Academy | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
of St Martin in the Fields - one Prime Minister Theresa May says the | :15:20. | :15:45. | |
process for Britain to leave the European Union will begin by the end | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
of March at the latest. All existing EU law will be in into British law | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
until it can be removed, changed or reviewed. I'm tangling more than 40 | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
years of legislation from British law will be complicated. Thereafter | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
lashing images in this report. This is what the laws of the land look | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
like at Westminster. British and EU thoroughly intertwined on everything | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
from consumer rights, workers' rights, banking and more. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Disentangling them is by any measure a mammoth undertaking. Here in its | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Kaikai is where every act of Parliament is stored going back to | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
the 15th century, but things changed in 1972 with this, the European | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
communities act which took us into what is now the EU and meant that | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
its law became part of hours. That raises the question, once we are | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
out, how do they get rid of those bits we do not want? Workers' rights | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
are one area that could feel the heat when the process of repealing | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
those laws gets fully underway in 2019. One example, a ruling from the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
EU's highest court that commission and overtime must be included in | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
holiday pay. Employers say it drives up costs and some really don't like | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
it. This is damaging for our industry and going forward it will | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
have a negative impact on investment plans and our ability to grow and | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
increase our export markets. It is a piece of ruling that needs to be | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
done away with altogether. But many other workers' rights, from the EU. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Will there be a wholesale overhaul? Thereon many employment law | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
obligations that are deeply unpopular in business but I do not | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
think there are going to be major changes. The rights are embedded and | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
are expected by workers. There are lots of other laws that | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
unambiguously have had a positive impact, for example, our beaches | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
used to be awash with raw sewage into the EU directives clean them | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
up. There is a huge amount to consider and some fear there will | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
not be time for Parliament to scrutinise it all and it will be | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
left just two ministers. The task is so great that I think the risk is we | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
will end up seeing it being done by executive order, lots of these | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
things that come from Europe that we want to keep will be dealt with in | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
ways that are an democratic, they will be shopped through Parliament | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
by regulation. We have to be very mindful of the risks. Keen to quell | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
concerns, the government says any change will be by revolution not | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
revolution about Britain's separation from EU law comes after a | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
40 year marriage between the two legal systems. It is likely to be | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
long and it could be painful. Let's go to Colombia | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
where referendum over a peace deal between the government and the FARC | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
rebel group has been taking place. The Colombian President said this | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
was an opportunity to end 52 years of conflict and lead Colombia | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
towards a better future. Opposition leaders say | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
the government are appeasing rebels. The ex-president Alvaro Uribe says | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
the agreement amounts to impunity for people | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
wanting to avoid jail time. For more, I'm joined by Leonardo Goi | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
from Fundacion Ideas para La Paz. Leonardo, what's your assessment | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
of today's vote, there was some The entire peace process was | :19:33. | :19:52. | |
premised on the idea of transitional justice, on the principle of truth, | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
responsibility and reparation. According to what has been agreed | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
upon, if a demobilised FARC member who will be found guilty of | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
committing some of the atrocities will not take responsibility for the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
crimes committed, will not commit to repay the victims he or she has | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
caused or will not commit to reveal the truth, he might face up to 20 | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
years in prison. It is not exactly the case that the government and the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
FARC have agreed to a wide impunity for everyone who choose to | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
demobilised as a result of the agreement. Is the country going to | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
vote for this deal or against? There is reason to be optimistic. The last | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
exit polls showed that over 66% of Colombians are likely to vote in | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
favour of the referendum. In order for the referendum to go through, | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
only 13% of the electorate is needed to vote, only 4.3 million votes for | :21:05. | :21:14. | |
the yes camps. There is also reason to be hopeful this will be the case | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
as the FARC and government have made it clear that this will not mean a | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
renegotiation of the terms already agreed upon that war will resume as | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
a result of this. Thank you very much for your time. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
The United States closing in on victory at the Ryder Cup in | :21:38. | :21:51. | |
Minnesota. Let's bring you up to date with the latest. Patrick Reed | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
delivering a blow to Europe's chances. He beat War Rory McIlroy. | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
Two good wins for Europe. Rafael Cabrera for Spain playing very well. | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
Really when we get to the second pages where it looks very ominous | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
for Europe. Although Lee Westwood is ahead, it is those final five | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
matches in the left-hand column, United States leading in all of | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
them. They need just four more points to win their first Ryder Cup | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
since 2008. Further down the course they are ahead in five of the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
singles matches and so looking very ominous for Europe's chances of | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
retaining the cup. Manchester City suffered their first league defeat | :22:47. | :22:53. | |

City continue to struggle. They were held to a goalless draw by | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
