In his first major speech since taking office,

on the UK's trading relationships once Britain leaves

He suggested Britain would establish itself as an independent member

that he favours a so-called hard Brexit, outside

EU leaders have again warned that Britain will not get any kind

of special treatment when it leaves the EU.

Our economics editor, Kamal Ahmed, has more details.

Dr Liam Fox today at a flight simulation business,

trying to plot a smooth landing for Britain, where free trade

is the cornerstone of our relationship with the European Union

I believe that the UK is in a prime position to become a world leader

in free trade because of the brave and historic decision of the British

Those who believe that the referendum was a sign of Britain

looking inwards have it completely, 100% wrong.

Yesterday car manufacturers in Britain warned that

if there were tariffs between Britain and the European Union once

we had left, that would, could mean job losses.

Who does it harm more if we end up in a new tariff environment?

It is in everybody's interests, that as we move forward,

we have at least as free a trading environment as we have today.

Anything else may not harm the politicians and the

institutions, but it will harm the people of Europe.

This is Manchester Town Hall, a monument to the glories

And it was here that Dr Fox gave, I think, the strongest

Not only would Britain be leaving the European Union,

This looks, this feels like a hard Brexit.

A hard Brexit would mean Britain out of the single market,

and that could mean tariffs and extra costs on

For the Nissan boss, and that company runs a huge

factory in Sunderland, that can only mean one thing.

It would mean, obviously that Sunderland would lose

competitiveness when it comes to choosing a place where we will be

sourcing the products for Europe, because all of a sudden you're

taking 10% higher costs for tax reasons.

From big business, to small business...

These conveyors here are going to Sweden.

This one near Manchester makes conveyorbelts.

Tariff-free trade is extremely important to us.

We do not want to be put at a disadvantage

by incurring additional costs, because in a competitive

market, you can't put your prices up to reflect it.

Britain's trade exports are one of the fundamental

We export ?222 billion worth of goods to the EU,

That is more than twice the ?100 billion worth

And nearly ten times the ?26 billion of exports that go to China.

Dr Fox came to Manchester to send a message -

But negotiations with the EU post-Brexit won't

Yes, the tone at the moment is tough, but this journey has

The latest European leader to sound a warning about British expectations

is the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi.

He's told the BBC it will be impossible to give Britain superior

rights to other countries outside the EU.

Mr Renzi joins other leaders in insisting that Britian won't be

able to have a deal which involves free trade without also accepting

He's been speaking to our Europe editor, Katya Adler.

Italy is one of the EU's oldest members.

It remains hugely influential on the EU stage, despite its

well-publicised economic and political troubles.

Italians, enamoured as they are of their culture,

their coffee, their style, are huge Anglo-files, too.

News of the UK's Brexit vote was met with dismay here,

expressed clearly to me by Matteo Renzi,

The decision of British people is a bad decision in my mind

But if we don't accept the result of the referendum, we give

the message that vote is not a good thing,

democracy is not an asset for this continent and this is impossible.

So you think it is definitely going to happen?

Obviously Britain has to trigger Article 50

Well, British people, British Government will decide

I think we will work as soon as possible in only one way -

to solve every problem but it will be impossible to give

to the British people more rights than the other

We're clearly talking about the freedom of movement here, right?

Aren't you asking for flexibility in the eurozone?

Couldn't you allow flexibility for the UK when it comes

I think this is a very interesting debate because this debate will be

a debate about the concept of rules here in the EU.

But when the UK will decide about the opening of the Article 50,

The UK hasn't triggered Article 50 yet, we don't really know

What is the mood amongst your other EU leaders?

There is the need to solve as soon as possible the problem of the UK

because from 2015 to today, the first month of 2015

to today, we discussed a lot of times about Brexit.

So now it is time to solve the question.

Because like many other EU countries, Italy is faced with other

Stagnant growth, high youth unemployment, endemic corruption,

never mind the ongoing migrant crisis and euro woes here.

Matteo Renzi has promised to change Italy or change jobs.

Tonight he launched a referendum campaign to slimline Parliament,

I know in 2016, use the expression "referendum" in EU, it's a risk,

but jokes apart, I believe this is a great challenge for Italian

people because these constitutional reforms reduce the red tape

of bureaucracy, give stability to the Italian institutions.

We wind back a few months and David Cameron wasn't worried.

He must have told you at EU summits, "I'm not worried

And look what happened to him - he lost and his political

Thank you so much for this benchmark!

But I think this is a very different referendum.

I thought obviously there are a lot of risks but it is impossible

to have the great challenges of the Italian

If Matteo Renzi loses his referendum, the man who promised to

reform and stabilise Italy could plunge it into further political and

economic uncertainty, with an impact on the wider eurozone. But, if he

wins, not only will Matteo Renzi will stronger here at home, but also

in Brussels and with EU powers, France and Germany Dee distracted by

their own general elections, Italy's Anglophile, Europhile Prime

Minister, could play a key role in Brexit negotiations when they start

in earnest. A train with more than 200

passengers on board has crashed into a busy station in the US state

of New Jersey. At least one person died and more

than 100 were injured, The train failed to stop as it came

from Manhattan and smashed through a concrete barrier,

we were standing and crushed that centre where people would be

normally standing and threw them into where we were.

Many tent - tend to pack the front carriages of their trains. 108

people were injured, most on board the train.

The silver lining is that there has only been one fatality thus far,

because the destruction really is significant, and the power of the

train coming in, is obviously devastating, and its impact. The

cause of the crash is not yet known, the train's engineer is critically

injured but is conscious and can he operating with investigators. New

Jersey transit hasn't completed installing what is called, "positive

train control" a safety system designed to prevent accidents by

automatically slowing or stopping trains that are going too fast. It

had been ordered to install the system by the Government, but there

have been repeated delays. Now there has been a spate of train

crashes in America's north-east corridor in recent years. In 2011

there was a similar crash at this very station, where a train failed

to stop as it was coming into the concourse. So many commuters tonight

are asking a simple question - why hasn't this speed control technology

benefitted on their trains, especially when America's National

Transportation Safety Board first called for its introduction more

than 25 years ago? Nick, thank you very much.

Young women have the highest risk of developing mental illness,

according to the latest research, and they are three times as likely

to suffer from conditions such as anxiety and depression as men

The new survey reveals a sharp increase in women

aged 16-24 in England with mental health symptoms.

Alice Thompson, who's 17, can vouch for that.

She's suffered from anxiety, self-harm and eating disorders.

She's in treatment now but says her conditions

Anxiety feels like you're in a stream, or even an ocean,

and there's just waves crashing at you constantly and you're

treading water, and the more you tread water the harder

it is to keep going because you get tired and you get lethargic,

and you just end up drowning eventually.

The report doesn't suggest causes, but mentions factors like the state

of the economy and the growth of social media, with teenagers

facing peer group pressure and potentially vulnerable

This is the first cohort to come of age in a context of social media,

and we don't yet understand what social media means

for the mental health of people as they enter adulthood.

This is something that perhaps this study suggests warrants

Two people with personal experience of mental illness

told me why they thought the pressures were increasing.

The world becomes more and more of a kind of stressful place to be,

like we're exposed to more and more information that comes at us faster

and faster and we're not taught how to cope with that and how

You have to have the perfect body, you have to be great at school,

you have to have really great prospects in life,

you have to have a group of friends, you have to have a great boyfriend

and everything be perfect, but it just doesn't work that way.

People put so much pressure on themselves to fulfil these

completely unrealistic expectations that people just can't cope with it.

Colleges and universities are doing what they can to help at the start

At Bradford College there's a room set aside for young people to relax

and talk openly about issues they face.

A recent Scottish survey also found significantly lower levels of mental

well-being amongst young women compared to other age groups.

That is further evidence of a growing challenge

for government, the NHS, and of course young people.

We know that there has been little bungs, brown paper envelopes,

in the game, whether they are managers, whether they are coaches,

whether they're executives at football clubs.

been I don't think a really prolonged proper investigation

This crisis has already cost the England manager his job,

embroiled several unnamed Premier League bosses,

and now claimed a second scalp here at Barnsley.

The FA are investigating, but they admit that their powers

to fully police a globalised multi-billion pound sport

are limited, and it's notoriously difficult to prove corruption.

on their merits, in my view the game has never been cleaner.

But with the sport bracing itself for more allegations,

confidence in the whole of the game is now on the line.

Some of the most devastating floods to affect Britain in recent years

were caused by storms driven by what's known as the jet stream -

a fast-flowing air current high in the atmosphere.

Predicting the path of the jet stream is one of the great

Our science editor David Shukman joined them.

Violent weather whipped up huge gales and unleashed

The storms were driven here by a powerful flow of wind

high in the atmosphere - the jet stream - but we still

don't really know how it affects our weather.

So the research plane heads out on a highly unusual mission.

Outside on the wings these aren't weapons,

The aim is to try to improve the forecast of storms by learning

Not just getting close to it, but actually flying

We know that if we don't get the jet stream right at the start

point of a forecast, then that can affect the evolution

of that forecast and we could end up with a weather event

which is not forecast, or forecast at the wrong

The jet stream races around the globe at high altitude,

not in a straight line but meandering like a river,

and where it flows determines the weather we get in Europe.

So flights from America, Iceland and Britain are researching

We are now flying right through the heart of the jet stream.

The winds are ripping along at 180 miles an hour.

It's surprisingly calm but this is the best way to try to understand

the jet stream and how it affects our weather.

As we fly, small packages of instruments are dropped out

As they fall to the surface they measure temperature and wind

One discovery is that the jet stream is narrower than thought,

which could drive storms towards us more rapidly than expected.

We've learnt the jet stream is a lot sharper and stronger

than we expected and in fact that's really important for the development

of meanders on the jet stream and weather systems
