:00:09. > :00:12.At the G20 in China, she says it won't control numbers coming in.
:00:13. > :00:15.What the British people voted for on 23rd June
:00:16. > :00:18.was to bring some control into the movement of people
:00:19. > :00:25.A points-based system does not give you that control.
:00:26. > :00:30.Back in Britain, the economy enjoys an unexpected post-Brexit bounce.
:00:31. > :00:32.But in Westminster, there's scorn from some MPs about the lack

:01:29. > :01:32.The prime minister has ruled out a points-based immigration system
:01:33. > :01:35.for EU nationals - a central pledge of the Brexit campaign -
:01:36. > :01:38.saying it wouldn't control who comes into the UK.
:01:39. > :01:45.Speaking at the end of the G20 in China, Theresa May said
:01:46. > :01:48.the summit had been a success and she had been pleased
:01:49. > :01:50.by the willingness of countries such as Australia and India
:01:51. > :01:53.From the city of Hangzhou, here's our Political Editor,
:01:54. > :02:01.Red carpets get rolled up and put away.
:02:02. > :02:04.And at the end of the Prime Minister's first big adventure
:02:05. > :02:10.abroad, there are questions that will follow her home.
:02:11. > :02:12.But despite wide concerns, there are some reasons
:02:13. > :02:18.Promises from a handful of countries who want
:02:19. > :02:29.and the first summit of the world's leading economies since
:02:30. > :02:32.the United Kingdom decided to leave the European Union.
:02:33. > :02:35.What I've found pleasing and very useful in the discussions I've had
:02:36. > :02:40.is their willingness to talk to us about opening up trade arrangements
:02:41. > :02:43.between the United Kingdom and a number of other countries.
:02:44. > :02:47.Fewer answers, though, on controlling EU immigration.
:02:48. > :02:56.It won't be with the system sold to the public during the referendum.
:02:57. > :02:59.What the British people voted for on 23rd June was to bring
:03:00. > :03:01.some control into the movement of people from
:03:02. > :03:04.A points-based system does not give you that control.
:03:05. > :03:06.More than two months after the referendum,
:03:07. > :03:12.can you give our audience any idea of what you might actually propose?
:03:13. > :03:16.And given that you were Home Secretary when immigration
:03:17. > :03:18.climbed to record levels, why should people trust you
:03:19. > :03:23.What the British people want to see is an element of control.
:03:24. > :03:26.There are various ways in which you can do that.
:03:27. > :03:29.But of course, the work we are doing at the moment across government
:03:30. > :03:32.is about looking at the sort of relationship that we want to
:03:33. > :03:35.Part of that is about the sort of trade arrangements,
:03:36. > :03:39.part of it is about the sort of issues we want to deal
:03:40. > :03:43.So we will be coming forward in due course
:03:44. > :03:53.But this summit was about more than Brexit.
:03:54. > :04:00.but the Prime Minister's induction to one of the world's most exclusive
:04:01. > :04:04.and pressure, perhaps no more so than with China.
:04:05. > :04:07.Theresa May says the relationship with the summit host
:04:08. > :04:09.is about more than Hinkley Point, a proposed nuclear power station
:04:10. > :04:18.And despite irritation with her decision to delay,
:04:19. > :04:25.tonight the Chinese said they'd be patient and wait for her to decide.
:04:26. > :04:29.But some relationships have been much more straightforward.
:04:30. > :04:32.We said the bonds between our two countries are long-standing
:04:33. > :04:39.Firm friends already with the Australian leader,
:04:40. > :04:42.with the promise on the table of a trade deal
:04:43. > :04:51.And a rather relaxed Indian leader too, May and Modi both trying
:04:52. > :04:56.to get their first formal moment just right.
:04:57. > :05:05.This has not been an easy set of meetings for the Prime Minister.
:05:06. > :05:07.Alongside the grips and grins of
:05:08. > :05:09.the formal handshake, there's been warmth, but warnings too.
:05:10. > :05:12.But Theresa May has shown she wants to be a leader who does things
:05:13. > :05:16.in her own time and in her own way, not bound by the promises
:05:17. > :05:20.of the referendum or of her predecessor in Number 10.
:05:21. > :05:27.The Prime Minister came here to make an impression
:05:28. > :05:29.and departs having done that, but leaves only a few more
:05:30. > :05:32.clues on how Britain and the EU will say goodbye.
:05:33. > :05:37.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou.
:05:38. > :05:39.So Theresa May has rejected the points-based system
:05:40. > :05:43.Our Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford is here.
:05:44. > :05:45.Daniel, what other options are there?
:05:46. > :05:48.Well, Fiona, if there was one word which summed up the whole Leave
:05:49. > :05:54.campaign during the referendum, it was "control."
:05:55. > :05:56.And a big part of that was about taking back
:05:57. > :05:59.The Brexit campaigners had two solutions: to Leave
:06:00. > :06:03.the European Union to end freedom of movement, and this...
:06:04. > :06:05.What we think should happen is an Australian-style
:06:06. > :06:12.They choose, because they have a controlled system.
:06:13. > :06:17.The trouble is that when the UK had a points-based system back in 2010,
:06:18. > :06:20.the Home Office found that of those migrants who'd arrived under
:06:21. > :06:24.the highly skilled workers' scheme, 29% were actually working
:06:25. > :06:31.Theresa May, who was then Home Secretary, scrapped
:06:32. > :06:33.the old points-based system, which gave a visa to anyone
:06:34. > :06:39.So it's no surprise that she has little enthusiasm for starting
:06:40. > :06:44.a new one now, which leaves only one real option.
:06:45. > :06:47.At the moment, it looks like a work permit system
:06:48. > :06:49.is the most likely outcome, but there are lots of questions
:06:50. > :06:53.that the Government would still need to answer about how that work permit
:06:54. > :06:56.Would it be just for highly skilled people?
:06:57. > :07:00.Would there be an option for people to work in low-skilled jobs?
:07:01. > :07:02.Those will be the difficult questions
:07:03. > :07:06.Under a work permit scheme, employers would have
:07:07. > :07:09.to apply for a visa for each foreign employee.
:07:10. > :07:12.The Government would then decide how many workers of which type
:07:13. > :07:20.In theory, this could be tailored to suit the needs of the economy.
:07:21. > :07:23.But Keith Fearn, a hotel manager in Weston-Super-Mare,
:07:24. > :07:32.remembers the days before EU workers, and he's worried.
:07:33. > :07:34.When I was advertising for staff before they came,
:07:35. > :07:37.I didn't have anyone coming up for the jobs,
:07:38. > :07:39.or they only lasted one day and didn't return the next day.
:07:40. > :07:42.could cause devastation in other industries,
:07:43. > :07:44.like the care home business,
:07:45. > :07:46.that have become dependent on EU migrants.
:07:47. > :07:50.So the Government will have some delicate decisions to make.
:07:51. > :07:54.I think people who voted on both sides think
:07:55. > :07:57.this could be an opportunity to get the balance right.
:07:58. > :08:00.By that, they mean keeping skilled migration,
:08:01. > :08:11.where it's needed for a particular purpose,
:08:12. > :08:15.In the Brexit negotiations, the Government may be able to offer
:08:16. > :08:18.the carrot of preferential access to work permits for EU citizens.
:08:19. > :08:20.It'll need to make sure the NHS doesn't run out of doctors
:08:21. > :08:22.and the City doesn't run out of bankers.
:08:23. > :08:26.But at the end of it all, it will have to persuade voters
:08:27. > :08:28.that it has got immigration back to sustainable levels.
:08:29. > :08:31.And Theresa May will know from bitter experience
:08:32. > :08:36.as Home Secretary that it won't be easy.
:08:37. > :08:39.New figures show the UK's services industry unexpectedly
:08:40. > :08:41.bounced back last month, reducing the likelihood
:08:42. > :08:47.Services account for nearly 80% of the UK economy but had slumped
:08:48. > :08:50.in July after the vote to leave the European Union.
:08:51. > :08:53.The return to growth for services follows signs
:08:54. > :08:55.of recovery in manufacturing and construction too.
:08:56. > :08:59.Here's our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed.
:09:00. > :09:02.Famous for its pier, less famous for voting Brexit
:09:03. > :09:09.where the ups and downs of the economy are sharply felt.
:09:10. > :09:13.I think when you're generally around,
:09:14. > :09:14.confidence does seem to be high.
:09:15. > :09:18.People are in the shops, spending, doing their normal thing.
:09:19. > :09:22.But I know people in business and they are more cautious.
:09:23. > :09:28.Not as bad as we were led to believe, but it's early days yet.
:09:29. > :09:30.Early days, yes, but for the services sector,
:09:31. > :09:34.the largest part of the UK economy including restaurants
:09:35. > :09:37.and tourism, there has been a bounce back to growth
:09:38. > :09:43.But what about those local businesses?
:09:44. > :09:46.which imports its high-end tennis gear from Portugal.
:09:47. > :09:51.and I asked whether more generally, Brexit had affected
:09:52. > :09:58.It did feel as though our world was turned upside down afterwards.
:09:59. > :09:59.The doom and gloom that were predicted,
:10:00. > :10:04.I don't think has happened,
:10:05. > :10:07.but there is a lot of uncertainty, which is worrying for people.
:10:08. > :10:09.We seem to be doing OK at the moment,
:10:10. > :10:12.but how is it going to pan out over the medium term?
:10:13. > :10:14.These figures are certainly positive.
:10:15. > :10:19.They show the fastest month on month increase for 20 years.
:10:20. > :10:22.But, I think, a slight note of caution.
:10:23. > :10:25.Yes, there has been something of an economic bounceback,
:10:26. > :10:29.but still, the prediction is that the UK economy will grow
:10:30. > :10:33.significantly slower than it would have done if Britain had voted
:10:34. > :10:41.UK growth has been about far more than Brexit.
:10:42. > :10:44.The year started slowly, growth at just 0.4%
:10:45. > :10:47.as fears about a slowdown in China took hold.
:10:48. > :10:50.Through the middle of the year, growth picked up to 0.6%
:10:51. > :10:55.Now, it is predicted that growth will fall to 0.1%
:10:56. > :11:01.uncertainty over the post-Brexit future given as the reason.
:11:02. > :11:03.At the moment, it's looking like
:11:04. > :11:05.we might narrowly avoid a recession.
:11:06. > :11:12.We had a rebound in August, which leaves an overall flat position.
:11:13. > :11:16.The sky has resolutely not fallen in, but dangers remain.
:11:17. > :11:18.There is evidence that inflation is returning.
:11:19. > :11:22.Yes, a weaker pound helps exports, but it also means imports
:11:23. > :11:29.The economy is likely to be on quite a confusing ride as the full effects
:11:30. > :11:40.Back at Westminster, the Brexit secretary David Davis has
:11:41. > :11:42.been addressing MPs about getting the best solution for Britain
:11:43. > :11:46.His opposite number in the Labour Party said
:11:47. > :11:47.his statement contained only empty platitudes.
:11:48. > :11:51.Our political correspondent Ben Wright was listening to the debate.
:11:52. > :11:57.They arrived back from their summer break by car, with bags, on foot.
:11:58. > :11:59.The recently sacked and the freshly promoted.
:12:00. > :12:03.Are we going to get more details today about what Brexit will really
:12:04. > :12:07.I'm sure you'll hear a great deal of interest.
:12:08. > :12:11.That's Liam Fox, the new Secretary of State for International Trade,
:12:12. > :12:13.heading to the Commons to hear a statement
:12:14. > :12:18.MPs were not expecting it to be a very long one.
:12:19. > :12:23.Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
:12:24. > :12:29.David Davis set out what would not happen.
:12:30. > :12:33.There will be no attempt to stay in the EU by the back door,
:12:34. > :12:36.frustrate or thwart the will of the British people,
:12:37. > :12:39.no attempt to engineer a second referendum
:12:40. > :12:43.because some people didn't like the first answer.
:12:44. > :12:45.Mr Davis said the Government would build a consensus
:12:46. > :12:56.We will decide on our borders, our laws and the taxpayers' money.
:12:57. > :12:59.It means getting the best deal for Britain,
:13:00. > :13:03.and not an off-the-shelf solution.
:13:04. > :13:06.But MPs on the opposite side of the Commons asked...
:13:07. > :13:09.You've had all summer, Secretary of State.
:13:10. > :13:13.It has to be said, it is a mark of an irresponsible government,
:13:14. > :13:17.just as it was a mark of an irresponsible Leave campaign,
:13:18. > :13:19.that we know nothing more about the phrase
:13:20. > :13:28.from a government that just continues to make it up
:13:29. > :13:33.And a leading Tory campaigner for Brexit wanted some guarantees.
:13:34. > :13:39...That this United Kingdom will take control of its borders
:13:40. > :13:40.and the laws that are relevant to that
:13:41. > :13:44.and that is not negotiable for any other deal.
:13:45. > :13:47.But at the moment, all the Government has is vague rhetoric.
:13:48. > :13:49.The details about exactly when divorce talks
:13:50. > :13:54.and what a new relationship will look like -
:13:55. > :13:58.that could take months, even years, to become clear.
:13:59. > :14:03.As MPs argued, a demand outside Parliament for the start
:14:04. > :14:08.For the millions who voted for Brexit,
:14:09. > :14:10.impatience with the pace of leaving might grow.
:14:11. > :14:15.Ben Wright, BBC News, Westminster.
:14:16. > :14:18.All day on the BBC, we've been taking a look at Brexit Britain,
:14:19. > :14:20.examining what's happened in the UK since the country
:14:21. > :14:24.If you want to find out more, head to the BBC website.
:14:25. > :14:32.The junior doctors' strike in England next week
:14:33. > :14:35.has been called off, though the rest of the strikes due
:14:36. > :14:39.There had been concerns that hospitals hadn't been given enough
:14:40. > :14:44.time to arrange emergency cover and that patients would suffer.
:14:45. > :14:47.The British Medical Association has called again on the government not
:14:48. > :14:48.to impose a new junior doctors' contract.
:14:49. > :14:57.It was set for a new escalation next week, the junior doctors' dispute
:14:58. > :15:00.bringing more strikes around England.
:15:01. > :15:03.But now that action has been called off, after NHS chiefs made clear
:15:04. > :15:07.that there wasn't time to make contingency plans in hospitals.
:15:08. > :15:11.We have called off the first planned industrial action
:15:12. > :15:14.due to take place next week, because we are responding reasonably
:15:15. > :15:17.to concerns raised by hospital trusts that they need more time
:15:18. > :15:21.to prepare for this level of industrial action.
:15:22. > :15:27.and that is our first and utmost priority.
:15:28. > :15:29.Earlier, the General Medical Council, which regulates
:15:30. > :15:32.the medical profession, had made clear its concern that only
:15:33. > :15:36.12 days' notice of next week's strikes had been given.
:15:37. > :15:39.Our view is that this degree of escalation at this short notice,
:15:40. > :15:44.there's a very real risk of causing harm to patients.
:15:45. > :15:48.But the BMA says strikes in October, November and December will go ahead,
:15:49. > :15:50.with its campaign against a new employment contract
:15:51. > :15:57.On the doctors' agenda, some items have been resolved
:15:58. > :16:01.since previous strikes, such as preventing excessive hours.
:16:02. > :16:04.But they say issues like weekend pay and provisions for women
:16:05. > :16:08.and part-time doctors have not been resolved.
:16:09. > :16:10.In the Commons, the Health Secretary gave his reaction
:16:11. > :16:15.This afternoon's news delaying the first strike
:16:16. > :16:31.but we mustn't let it obscure the fact
:16:32. > :16:34.that the planned industrial action is unprecedented in length
:16:35. > :16:36.and severity and will be damaging for patients,
:16:37. > :16:38.some of whom will have already had operations cancelled.
:16:39. > :16:41.It's an unexpected pause in the latest chapter of this
:16:42. > :16:43.long-running dispute, but the two sides are still as entrenched
:16:44. > :16:47.to impose changes to junior doctors' pay and conditions.
:16:48. > :16:53.And Hugh is outside a hospital in West London -
:16:54. > :16:58.where does this dispute go from here?
:16:59. > :17:06.The dispute goes on, it is as simple as that. It has been a
:17:07. > :17:11.presentational own goal by the BMA, announcing this action including
:17:12. > :17:14.deliberately short notice period for hospitals to prepare, then coming
:17:15. > :17:20.under pressure to think again because hospitals wouldn't be ready.
:17:21. > :17:24.NHS England at senior levels today saying they couldn't guarantee a
:17:25. > :17:31.safe service next week, then having to call off the stripes. The strikes
:17:32. > :17:34.in October, November and December will go ahead. Government sources
:17:35. > :17:39.are saying they could be just as damaging and they are questioning
:17:40. > :17:43.again why the BMA is campaigning against a contract which some of its
:17:44. > :17:50.leaders said it was a good thing only back in May. The BMA said our
:17:51. > :17:54.members have voted against it, it shouldn't be imposed. I think the
:17:55. > :17:58.key question is how junior doctors see things in the months ahead. They
:17:59. > :18:02.may be relieved tonight, there's certainly no sign in their reduction
:18:03. > :18:05.of general support for this campaign.
:18:06. > :18:07.The MP Keith Vaz, chairman of the influential Home
:18:08. > :18:09.Affairs Select Committee, is back in the House of Commons
:18:10. > :18:13.after a Sunday newspaper claimed that he'd paid for two male escorts.
:18:14. > :18:16.Mr Vaz, a married father of two, says he'll decide whether to stay
:18:17. > :18:20.The Prime Minister said it was up to Mr Vaz to decide his political
:18:21. > :18:22.future but it's important for people to have confidence
:18:23. > :18:44.A blockade of the main routes in and out of Calais has ended
:18:45. > :18:46.after agreement was reached that more police will be stationed
:18:47. > :18:50.Earlier today lorry drivers and farmers blocked the route
:18:51. > :18:52.demanding the closure of the port's large refugee camp,
:18:53. > :18:56.The French government has promised to dismantle the camp as soon
:18:57. > :18:59.as possible but the demonstrators want a date to be set.
:19:00. > :19:01.A sandwich shop owner has admitted murdering a teenager
:19:02. > :19:03.after she went to buy breakfast from his store in Clydebank.
:19:04. > :19:06.John Lethem claimed he repeatedly stabbed 15-year-old Paige Doherty
:19:07. > :19:08.after a disagreement about a possible job in the shop.
:19:09. > :19:10.Letham was filmed on CCTV getting anti-bacteria wipes and disposing
:19:11. > :19:12.of her body, which was later found in woodland.
:19:13. > :19:16.An investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme into
:19:17. > :19:18.the Sellafield nuclear waste plant has found a catalogue
:19:19. > :19:21.The plant in Cumbria, which reprocesses and stores most
