:03:59. > :04:02.also want to be clear, here today, and across Europe in the weeks
:04:03. > :04:06.ahead, we are not walking away from our European friends. Britain will
:04:07. > :04:11.remain an outward looking country, and Germany will remain a vital
:04:12. > :04:15.partner and special friend. But she will not start the official process
:04:16. > :04:19.of leaving the EU, as some leaders want, until next year. Their German

:04:28. > :04:34.real talks, formal or informal can start until the process begins. Has
:04:35. > :04:40.Chancellor Merkel just started the clock? Is it worth sacrificing some
:04:41. > :04:45.of our prosperity to have more control on immigration? Chancellor
:04:46. > :04:52.Merkel, is it remotely realistic for the UK to expect to keep trading
:04:53. > :04:55.rights and introduce tighter limits on immigration? It is clear to me
:04:56. > :04:59.that one of the messages the British people gave in their vote that the
:05:00. > :05:04.UK should leave the European Union was that they wanted to see control
:05:05. > :05:07.brought into the movement of people from the European Union into the
:05:08. > :05:12.United Kingdom. But I am also clear that we want to get the right deal
:05:13. > :05:16.in trade, goods and services for the UK. TRANSLATION: It is no longer the
:05:17. > :05:20.case that the British Prime Minister will sit round the table. But we
:05:21. > :05:25.have to listen to what they want before we can find a solution. There

:05:53. > :05:57.members of the opposition benches may be familiar with an unscrupulous

:06:31. > :06:33.together on that. But there is not much chance, with everything at
:06:34. > :06:40.stake, that, in the coming months, they will agree on the lot. We will

:06:45. > :06:48.from the European Union has been made substantially more difficult
:06:49. > :06:51.because of the lack of planning by David Cameron's Government -
:06:52. > :06:58.that's the view of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee,

:07:15. > :07:17.want their interests protected. Germany and Chancellor Merkel

:07:41. > :07:42.for a leave victory, It was a considered decision not
:07:43. > :07:51.to do that planning and of course on the Friday morning,
:07:52. > :07:54.when the Prime Minister resigned, the situation, in that sense,
:07:55. > :08:01.looked catastrophic. The country and the bureaucracy,
:08:02. > :08:03.unprepared for the consequences. That's really, we believe,
:08:04. > :08:04.unforgiveable because there were only two outcomes
:08:05. > :08:06.from the referendum - we were either voting to say
:08:07. > :08:10.or we were voting to leave. Of course, the biggest political
:08:11. > :08:12.challenge will be the formal Ahead of them, Britain does
:08:13. > :08:16.hold one strong card - deciding when to trigger divorce
:08:17. > :08:20.proceedings. The legal process called
:08:21. > :08:22.Article 50, probably late That starts two years of intense

:08:31. > :08:36.how much can Britain keep of its free trade
:08:37. > :08:38.from the single market while, at the same time, taking back
:08:39. > :08:44.control of migration from the EU? Views differ about the balance
:08:45. > :08:46.which is in Britain's best interests, but many argue limiting
:08:47. > :08:49.numbers is precisely what many The referendum was won
:08:50. > :08:55.on a crystal clear basis - we're going to take back
:08:56. > :08:57.control over our borders, That's what the referendum
:08:58. > :09:03.has given us a mandate, What we need to thrash out
:09:04. > :09:08.is the extent to which we continue to trade and that's
:09:09. > :09:10.in both sides interests. Even when the exit deal has been
:09:11. > :09:15.done, perhaps in 2019, there's a whole set of negotiations
:09:16. > :09:17.with other countries The Government points to early
:09:18. > :09:23.enthusiasm from Australia to boost trade, but do we have enough lawyers
:09:24. > :09:25.and trade negotiators One leading lawyer who backed Remain
:09:26. > :09:32.says each deal requires It's definitely much bigger
:09:33. > :09:37.than anything we have seen before and much more complex than anything

:09:59. > :10:03.but this is a Brexit government No wonder leaders across Europe

:10:08. > :10:10.take stock, and plan strategy Live to Berlin and our political
:10:11. > :10:30.editor Laura Kuenssberg. What did today's events tell us
:10:31. > :10:35.about the way that Theresa May wants to manage the process? Well, there
:10:36. > :10:39.was a massive moment here in Berlin. Downing Street is pretty encouraged
:10:40. > :10:43.by how it went. It was warm, but brisk, relaxed, but businesslike.
:10:44. > :10:47.The message from Berlin was very clear. We are not intent on
:10:48. > :10:51.punishing Britain for its decision, we will give you a little time. To
:10:52. > :11:00.be frank, Britain must make up its mind about what it really wants from
:11:01. > :11:02.its exit from the European Union before any real business can be
:11:03. > :11:05.done. Now, to put it kindly, that picture is very much still evolving
:11:06. > :11:09.at home. Until that moves on from being vague ambition, it is hard to
:11:10. > :11:14.see how any significant progress can be made abroad. These talks are
:11:15. > :11:17.going to be difficult. But we are nowhere near the stage of anything
:11:18. > :11:21.concrete being part of the table. That is a message that maybe echoed
:11:22. > :11:24.by other European leaders in the days to come. Laura Kuenssberg in

:12:46. > :12:47.on a different part An inquest found all three died
:12:48. > :12:52.as a result of neglect. The Ministry of Defence says this

:12:57. > :13:05.or indeed the reasons why he died. But I can confirm it was not

:25:58. > :25:59.into affordable rented housing. Property experts say there are signs
:26:00. > :26:02.that private house-building might be slowing down following the Brexit

:26:18. > :26:20.for their strength, they hold up the Empire State Building,

:26:33. > :26:38.before the Brexit vote and analysts say the situation is only
:26:39. > :26:42.going to get much worse. There are different views,
:26:43. > :26:44.but one respected consultancy is warning that a slow down,
:26:45. > :26:47.like 2008, would wipe out a third of GDP growth and cost

:27:59. > :28:05.for homeownership schemes, such as starter homes,
:28:06. > :28:08.into affordable rented housing. Can you really make the difference,

:29:02. > :29:12.has the story. With England in big trouble, the FA
:29:13. > :29:15.have called for Billing Sam. He may not be everyone's choice, but Sam
:29:16. > :29:19.Allardyce is now set for the job he's always coveted. Tonight the
:29:20. > :29:23.61-year-old arrived for his final game in charge of Sunderland, a
:29:24. > :29:27.pre-season friendly at lowly Hartlepool K United. His appointment
:29:28. > :29:31.as the next England manager is expected to be confirmed in the next
:29:32. > :29:36.24-hours. Questions will be asked about his style of football. He's
:29:37. > :29:41.never had money to go and buy great players. Yes, at times he has played
:29:42. > :29:44.direct and played with what he has got. He got the best out of the
:29:45. > :29:51.players he had. The players like him. That is a huge bonus for
:29:52. > :29:56.England. Allardyce enjoyed a 21 year-long career as a player,
:29:57. > :30:00.starring for Bolton Wanderers in the 1970s. It was at the same club that
:30:01. > :30:04.he went on to make his name as a manager, known as a Wheeler deal
:30:05. > :30:07.dealer in the transfer market he led Bolton first to the Premier League
:30:08. > :30:13.and then to Europe. Achievements that saw him interviewed for the
:30:14. > :30:18.England job back in 2006. I just hope when the phone call comes it's
:30:19. > :30:23.in my favour and nobody else's. Then if it doesn't I'll accept it. Having
:30:24. > :30:27.masterminded Sunderland's escape from relegation last season, the FA
:30:28. > :30:32.came calling. Tonight, the club's fans reacted to the news. I think
:30:33. > :30:35.he'll do well. I think he's the right man for the job. Disappointed
:30:36. > :30:40.he is leaving Sunderland. Best of luck to him. Sad, but it's been his
:30:41. > :30:45.ambition and you can't stop anybody from wanting to fulfil their
:30:46. > :30:49.ambition. Tonight, in a statement Sunderland said, "at the present
:30:50. > :30:52.time Sam Allardyce remains our manager we share in the anger and
:30:53. > :30:57.frustration of our supporters and would like to assure them we are,
:30:58. > :31:02.woing to conclude the matter in the best interests of Sunderland AFC."
:31:03. > :31:06.Sam Allardyce must con font those who see the role as England manager
:31:07. > :31:11.as sports impossible job, breathing new life into the team after the hue

:31:15. > :31:19.resigning in the wake of that defeat. The governing body's chief
:31:20. > :31:23.executive executive told me what he wanted from the man tasked with
:31:24. > :31:26.giving the national team a new identity. Someone who inspires
:31:27. > :31:33.people to get the best out of themselves that they can. Build
:31:34. > :31:35.resilience and a adopt the psychological techniques that other
:31:36. > :31:39.sports and frankly other football teams have done. Allardyce may have
:31:40. > :31:43.never won a major trophy, he may be seen as old school, his reputation
:31:44. > :31:46.as one of the country's leading coaches is based on the fact that
:31:47. > :31:52.none of his teams have ever been relegated from the Premier League
