0:00:11 > 0:00:14At least three and half thousand drivers were stranded
0:00:14 > 0:00:16on the M62 across the Pennines.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Some managed to get to shelter.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23We landed in Manchester Airport about two o'clock yesterday and
0:00:23 > 0:00:25we've been, well, trying to get home since then.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Just going around in circles on the M62.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Trains grind to a halt.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Frustrated passengers take matters into their own hands.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Medical staff make heroic efforts to get to work,
0:00:37 > 0:00:43walking ten miles though the snow there and back.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49And, after the snow, flooding hits parts of the South West.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We'll bring you the latest on the weather from around the UK.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Storm Emma has collided with the Beast from the East
0:01:41 > 0:01:44resulting in disruption across much of Britain.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Heavy snow is causing crashes, closing schools,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51stranding rail and air passengers as well as motorists.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53One of the UK's major arteries, the M62 across the Pennines,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56is still shut tonight.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The Army has been called in around the UK to help.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Strong winds have added to problems, causing large drifts in places.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08The sheer amount of snow remains a major concern and even where it's
0:02:08 > 0:02:09been cleared the freezing temperatures mean ice
0:02:09 > 0:02:10is now an added danger.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Danny Savage reports.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18For the last 24 hours, the M62 between West Yorkshire and
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Manchester has been a disaster zone.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Multiple pile-ups litter the carriageway.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26One driver filmed this early today...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Dozens of vehicles written off.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31More than three and a half thousand motorists were
0:02:31 > 0:02:34stranded on this road overnight.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Most had been moved by this morning but hundreds were taken
0:02:37 > 0:02:39to emergency shelters.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We landed in Manchester Airport about two o'clock
0:02:42 > 0:02:48yesterday and we've been trying to get home since then.
0:02:48 > 0:02:55The main route from the M3 to the South West of England, the A303,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58also ground to a halt with drivers defeated by a combination of heavy
0:02:58 > 0:03:02snow and steep hills.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I'm trying to get to an old people's home to get the heating on.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I've been stuck out here since three o'clock this afternoon.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11There was some respite at this local petrol station that helped people
0:03:11 > 0:03:12through the night.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We don't usually get snow here, not like this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Do you think you're going to get out of here?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Of course we will.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23"There's worse trouble at sea," granny would say.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Snowploughs tried their best but made little progress
0:03:26 > 0:03:31because of the trapped vehicles.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33From Yorkshire to the Scottish border, nearly every route linking
0:03:33 > 0:03:36east and west was closed.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Somewhere under here is the A66 in Cumbria.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Even the gritters aren't venturing out this far.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46This should normally be a busy dual carriageway over the
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Pennines but it has been shut for days.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52It probably won't open for days yet and it's all because of these gale
0:03:52 > 0:03:56force winds just blowing the snow constantly across the carriageway.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Police are patrolling the roads to discourage people
0:03:58 > 0:04:02from ignoring the closures.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05These conditions are some of the worst I've seen for many years.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07The A66 is always one that's a problem area.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10As you can see today, this is particularly bad.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Trying to get this open is impossible at the moment.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17In Hampshire, the 17:05 Waterloo to Weymouth train last night
0:04:17 > 0:04:25unintentionally turned into a sleeper service.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Passengers were stuck on board for 13 hours
0:04:28 > 0:04:29as the train lost power.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The heating then failed in the freezing conditions.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34They managed to restore power so we had lights but we had no
0:04:34 > 0:04:37heating and things like the buffet car had run out of food and drink
0:04:37 > 0:04:39earlier on in the evening.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40So, it was a pretty cold night.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43In Shropshire, huge snowdrifts blocked country roads as
0:04:43 > 0:04:47an army of farmers set out across Britain to try and clear them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Neighbouring Worcestershire also saw several inches of snow.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Across the border into Wales, three people were
0:04:54 > 0:04:59rescued after getting buried by drifts in their car near Cowbridge.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03They had to sound their horn to guide searchers in.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06In Ebbw Vale, firefighters were called in to dig
0:05:06 > 0:05:10their way into this house.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Back in the high Pennines, keeping livestock fed was a priority.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Keeping them watered though is a problem.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The water's frozen, that's the main thing,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20in the house and out of the house.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So, just watering animals is a big chore at the minute and just
0:05:23 > 0:05:26trying to feed up and getting to the sheep that are three miles away,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30just trying to get there is fun and games at the minute really.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Delivering supplies by any means possible will be normality in much
0:05:35 > 0:05:37of Britain this weekend.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39There's no obvious sign of a thaw yet.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Danny Savage, BBC News.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The extreme weather has affected emergency teams too,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46with South Western Ambulance Service telling people not to call
0:05:46 > 0:05:47unless there is a threat to life.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Across the UK, many doctors, nurses and support staff have walked
0:05:51 > 0:05:55through snow and ice in an attempt to ease the pressure on services.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02From the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Jon Kay reports.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05This is the road to Exeter's main hospital, serving nearly
0:06:05 > 0:06:07half a million people.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Hey, Anna, how are you getting on?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12In A&E, eight-year-old Anna has come off her sledge.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You've got a headache now, have you?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Are you hungry at all?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And she might need a scan.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Her doctor is one of many who have struggled into work.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22She should be fine.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24OK, great, thank you.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26How did you get in?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I cycled on a mountain bike.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That's about five miles.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33There was a lot of pushing - just trying to get a bit
0:06:33 > 0:06:35of traction in the snow.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We were out walking the dogs last night.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Junior doctor Chris is helping Debbie, who slipped on the ice.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Wait till you hear about his journey to work.
0:06:42 > 0:06:49I walked about ten miles from Exeter into hospital.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50, from Exmouth.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52And then you'll have to walk ten miles back.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yeah, just like last night.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Did it cross your mind to call in and say, "I can't make it today,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'm going to have a snow day."
0:07:00 > 0:07:01No.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I think you do certain jobs and you have a certain responsibility.
0:07:03 > 0:07:0640 staff slept in the hospital overnight after a critical
0:07:06 > 0:07:07incident was declared here.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Phil also stayed over.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11He couldn't move his iced up car after visiting his wife
0:07:11 > 0:07:12on the surgical ward.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15More than a hundred relatives were given a place to sleep.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16It's been absolutely fantastic.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I can't thank people enough.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I couldn't have wished for a better stay.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22You make it sound like a hotel?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Well, it has been.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28No traffic jams in this city today but emergency crews have struggled
0:07:28 > 0:07:30to reach casualties.
0:07:30 > 0:07:38South Western Ambulance saying only call 909 if it's life-threatening.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Among the walking wounded, plenty of breaks, sprains and cuts,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42most of them weather-related.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44The worst one is just here.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Pete fell in the snow.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It could have been much worse.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52There were other people in here who have had a lot more
0:07:52 > 0:07:53serious accidents than I have.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56After a tough winter, and an exhausting 48-hours,
0:07:56 > 0:08:01there are more weather challenges to come.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03The hospital's chief nurse now has to find extra staff
0:08:03 > 0:08:05for the next few days.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We are calling out now for registered nurses in particular,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12if they are able to get here, could they come?
0:08:12 > 0:08:19Particularly this weekend so we can get through the weekend.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Back in Casualty, Anna is making progress
0:08:21 > 0:08:22after her sledging accident.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Her dad is a local farmer and tonight he'll be clearing
0:08:25 > 0:08:29roads with his tractor, so the hospital can keep running.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Well, Jon Kay filmed that report earlier today in Exeter.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33He's a glutton for punishment.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36He's now moved on to Dawlish on the south Devon coast,
0:08:36 > 0:08:43where there's flooding, just to add to the problems.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50John, it looks pretty grim there. Yes, Fiona, good evening. Almost
0:08:50 > 0:08:55every train operator in the country has been affected by the weather in
0:08:55 > 0:08:57some weight today here at Dawlish which is where the train line runs
0:08:57 > 0:09:02right next to the sea it is particularly bad. At the moment no
0:09:02 > 0:09:07trains can come through because of flooding we had earlier caused by
0:09:07 > 0:09:10storm Emma. That means the far south-west of England is cut off
0:09:10 > 0:09:16from the rest of the rail network. Nowhere near as bad as it was four
0:09:16 > 0:09:23years ago in the floods when the train line was left hanging in
0:09:23 > 0:09:25midair. This time it should be fixed within about 36 hours, fingers
0:09:25 > 0:09:30crossed full stop this incident is a reminder of just how vulnerable this
0:09:30 > 0:09:34stretch of track is and this in the very week that politicians have been
0:09:34 > 0:09:39debating what to do about the long-term resilience, the long-term
0:09:39 > 0:09:43future of this infrastructure. Tonight in the short term I can tell
0:09:43 > 0:09:47you that temperatures are rising in South Devon, the icy snow melting
0:09:47 > 0:09:51and thawing quickly. For people who live around here, they are looking
0:09:51 > 0:09:56at flood alerts and not just high tides for tomorrow morning.Thank
0:09:56 > 0:09:58you.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There was trouble on the trains this evening
0:10:00 > 0:10:02in South London after delayed passengers started
0:10:02 > 0:10:07jumping on to the tracks.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Come on. There we are. Nice and smooth.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16People stuck on a train near Lewisham forced open the doors
0:10:16 > 0:10:17and began walking down the tracks.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20People stuck on a train near Lewisham forced open the doors
0:10:20 > 0:10:21and began walking down the railway line.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Operator Southeastern warned they couldn't run the trains
0:10:23 > 0:10:25while people were near the tracks.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27In Scotland, the worst of the weather may be over.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29But days of appalling conditions is having an impact
0:10:29 > 0:10:31on farmers and food supply.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Our Scotland Correspondent, Lorna Gordon, reports from Kilbarchan.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38The rolling hills of Renfrewshire,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42pretty, but the conditions making it
0:10:42 > 0:10:46challenging.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49The best way to reach this farm, by foot.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52They are doing their best to get milk out but they have
0:10:52 > 0:10:54had just one tanker in and they do not expect another.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56You see the snowdrifts coming down the road yourself.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It is up above my shoulders.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00We can't get the milk vans out, the milk tankers in,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02we cannot get feed stuff in.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05You just don't know where to turn.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08These cows produce 2000 litres of milk every day.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10This farm is not alone in facing big challenges
0:11:10 > 0:11:14in getting its milk to the shops.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17It is thought a significant number of farmers here in Scotland are now
0:11:17 > 0:11:21having to dispose of their milk.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27In local shops, some essentials are in short supply.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I came with my studs on all the way down the road to get milk,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32and there was no milk.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33No milk anywhere.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38We've come back for a second loaf.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41We figured we'd best get two.
0:11:41 > 0:11:48Apparently, there is not much left anywhere, so we did the right thing.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Empty shelves seen in some stores elsewhere. Those tasked with getting
0:11:53 > 0:11:58through say this weather is the worst that has been seen in decades.
0:11:58 > 0:12:05We have never seen as much snow as this. We are delivering milk to
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Dumfries in the south. We have never, ever seen this.Once the snow
0:12:11 > 0:12:18melts, stocks will reach the shops once more.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22once more. Easing the pressure on farms like this who are trying to
0:12:22 > 0:12:26keep their customers with milk.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28With freezing temperatures continuing well into next week,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30and possibly the week after, there's little sign of let-up
0:12:30 > 0:12:31in the bitter weather.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Let's speak to our Wales correspondent, Sian Lloyd, who's
0:12:33 > 0:12:35in the Vale of Glamorgan.
0:12:35 > 0:12:42That is an incredible amount of snow behind you.Yes. There are many
0:12:42 > 0:12:46scenes like this to be seen right across the bail of Glamorgan.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Drifting snow is a real problem. -- the Vale of Glamorgan. We have been
0:12:53 > 0:12:57out to about across this county today and have seen many local
0:12:57 > 0:13:00farmers out in their tractors trying to clear the country roads which are
0:13:00 > 0:13:04so important to the local population. There has been such a
0:13:04 > 0:13:12heavy demand on the snowploughs and gritters. They cannot get
0:13:12 > 0:13:17everywhere. Many major routes have been closed. Lots of local providers
0:13:17 > 0:13:21have not been able to operate their services, so very limited public
0:13:21 > 0:13:26transport. Some 2000 homes across the country here are without power
0:13:26 > 0:13:31and also all of the schools were closed here again today. We are on
0:13:31 > 0:13:36the yellow warning like many parts of the UK. Plummeting temperatures.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40It is bitterly cold here tonight but it is expected to freeze and we're
0:13:40 > 0:13:44not sure what we will wake up to tomorrow.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Other news now, and Theresa May has outlined her
0:13:46 > 0:13:47vision of Britain's future relationship
0:13:47 > 0:13:48with the European Union.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51She warned that both sides would have to accept "hard facts"
0:13:51 > 0:13:53and that no one would get everything they want.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56She said the UK would have to pay money into some EU agencies
0:13:56 > 0:13:57to maintain access to them.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01And she repeated her commitment that that Britain would NOT be part
0:14:01 > 0:14:02of the EU's single market or customs union.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, was
0:14:04 > 0:14:06watching the speech.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Roll up, roll up.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11A hot ticket for a certain kind of audience.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Looking forward to the speech.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Ministers and diplomats arriving for a speech.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Can you unite the party, sir?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22That will affect us all.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23And it matters to her survival, too.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29With controversy never far away.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33The first message - no more promises that after Brexit,
0:14:33 > 0:14:39we can have it all, to trade just as we do now or be completely free
0:14:39 > 0:14:40from the European courts.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I want to be straight with people because the reality
0:14:43 > 0:14:47is that we all need to face up to some hard facts.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50We are leaving the single market.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Life is going to be different.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55In certain ways our access to each other's markets will be
0:14:55 > 0:14:57less than it is now.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The second hard fact is that even after we have left the jurisdiction
0:15:00 > 0:15:05of the European Court of Justice, EU law and the decisions of the ECJ
0:15:05 > 0:15:08will continue to affect us.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Out of the single market and the customs union,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14she confirmed, yet no new answer to one of the hardest parts.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17We don't want to go back to a hard border in Ireland.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21We've ruled out any physical infrastructure at the border or any
0:15:21 > 0:15:23related checks and controls.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28But it's not good enough to say, "We won't introduce a hard border.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32"If the EU forces Ireland to do it, that is down to them".
0:15:32 > 0:15:34We chose to leave and we have a responsibility
0:15:34 > 0:15:36to help find a solution.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But we can't do it on our own.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It is for all of us to work together.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46More details on how she wants much of the economy to stay closer
0:15:46 > 0:15:49to the EU, but the Prime Minister wants the right to pick
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and choose when and how.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The Commission has suggested that the only option available
0:15:55 > 0:15:58to the UK is an off-the-shelf model.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We both need to face the fact that this is a negotiation
0:16:01 > 0:16:06and neither of us can have exactly what we want.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The fact is that every free trade agreement has varying market access
0:16:10 > 0:16:15depending on the respective interests of the countries involved.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18If this is cherry picking, then every trade arrangement
0:16:18 > 0:16:21is cherry picking.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Last, an answer to claims her plans are too vague and unreal.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We know what we want.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30We understand your principles.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33We have a shared interest in getting this right.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So let's get on with it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Thank you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43APPLAUSE
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Do you accept now that we can't have it all as we leave?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Secondly, you have outlined today you want to pick and mix,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52even though the EU has repeatedly rejected that approach.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What is it do you think you can say to your EU leaders that
0:16:55 > 0:16:59will actually change their minds?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm confident as we come and sit down together we will be able
0:17:02 > 0:17:05to show that mutual interest and mutual benefit from
0:17:05 > 0:17:09the proposals I have put forward.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11After weeks of internal Tory wrangling, the Prime Minister has
0:17:11 > 0:17:16made gathered Tory grandees content.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20This is about finding a way through that will work for everybody.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Why have you spent so long saying we can have everything?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25You said we could have the exact same benefits?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I said that is the aspiration.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What were aiming at here, and what the Prime Miniester said
0:17:29 > 0:17:32clearly, is that we want to have a complete
0:17:32 > 0:17:35tariff-free arrangement.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37We want to have mutual recognition.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40All those things, not just in our interest,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43they are in Europe's interest and that is why we will get them.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45What happens if the European Union says no?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49The invitation that was made through the speech the Prime Minister made
0:17:49 > 0:17:53was to apply a cool head to some very important, mutual problems,
0:17:53 > 0:17:58but also opportunities.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59An outbreak of Tory unity?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04The Foreign Secretary was grounded by snow but gave a thumbs up,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08and Brexiteers and Remainers followed suit, for now.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Governor, were you happy with what you heard?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Others, like the Bank of England governor,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16less keen to give their verdict.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17The opposition, unimpressed.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I think it will be judged as yet more confusion
0:18:19 > 0:18:20on the road to complications.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25What we need is a set of objectives which means we can protect
0:18:25 > 0:18:31jobs in this country.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Number Ten has pressed its case with more detail
0:18:33 > 0:18:34and realism than before.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37That could make a difference to the next steps of
0:18:37 > 0:18:38this lengthy tangle.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41But there are plenty of audiences making demands of Theresa May,
0:18:41 > 0:18:42who will still demand yet more.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51With a year to go until Britain leaves the EU, how do voters feel
0:18:51 > 0:18:52the government is getting on?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, has been to Reading
0:18:54 > 0:18:58to gauge feelings there.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Brexit is a complete mess.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Not quick enough, not doing enough.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Did you really think it was going to be simple and quick and easy?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I know people said it would be.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Did you think it would be?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I thought it would be.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I didn't think it would take two years to come out of it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Why should we have to give them all this money back?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18We've paid for it over the years.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm sure we've paid more than most.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21You think just walk?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Yeah, definitely, yeah.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think we're just a silly government, to be honest with you.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26How many kids have you got?
0:19:26 > 0:19:27These are your kids, right?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28We've got eight kids.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29You've got eight kids.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Congratulations.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Are you worried about their future?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Or optimistic?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Slightly on the fence, because I don't see how
0:19:38 > 0:19:42the economy is going to get any better by leaving.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I think it could really only get worse.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I think the question is how much worse.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51At the moment, I don't really have a clue, because they haven't
0:19:51 > 0:19:53set out a clear picture, and they haven't done
0:19:53 > 0:19:58all the tests to decide how good or bad it will be.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Theresa May?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00She's not doing too bad a job.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03She's just between a rock and a hard place with
0:20:03 > 0:20:08what she's got to work with.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10My vision for the future economic partnership
0:20:10 > 0:20:13between the United Kingdom and the European Union...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I feel people have been a bit hard on her because she's
0:20:16 > 0:20:18been given probably the worst possible situation.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20What about you?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Do you want to cut the Prime Minister some slack on this?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I think she gets a worse rap than...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's very easy to scapegoat her and I do feel bad
0:20:28 > 0:20:30for her in that sense.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I feel she has done an awful lot of flip-flopping.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37She really needs to sort of maybe pick a direction and go with it.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Greater steps need to be made to re-establish
0:20:39 > 0:20:40the country's opinion on this.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43There's a lot of people that have changed their mind
0:20:43 > 0:20:44since the last Brexit referendum.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Maybe doing another referendum would be a good idea at the very least,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50just to re-establish where we are, prove maybe that the government
0:20:50 > 0:20:52is on the right path, or show the government
0:20:52 > 0:20:53that they aren't.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54In the end, can it work?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55It has to.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Or else we're in a lot of trouble.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Theresa May, her mission today is to see Britain more
0:21:03 > 0:21:04united after Brexit.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Can that be done?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Brexit has separated our country and I think it could make it worse
0:21:08 > 0:21:11and it's very sad to see.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I think we've just got to live with it and move on.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15We've got to stick together.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Here's hoping.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Cheers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:25John Pienaar, BBC News, Reading.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Katya Adler, who is in Brussels.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34How did the speech go down there?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The EU has long been pressing Theresa May for more details of her
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Brexit vision and today they got the details aplenty. There have been
0:21:43 > 0:21:47working groups studying the Prime Minister's speech of this evening
0:21:47 > 0:21:51from all 27 countries and privately EU diplomats have told me they
0:21:51 > 0:21:56praised Theresa May's constructive approach in her speech, her more
0:21:56 > 0:21:59realistic approach, they said, saying that of course not everybody
0:21:59 > 0:22:03can have everything they want out of the agreement. But they pointed out
0:22:03 > 0:22:07that on the big picture they did not see much new in the Prime Minister's
0:22:07 > 0:22:13speech policy wise. The EU chief negotiator tweeted that now that the
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Prime Minister had confirmed the UK would be leaving the single market
0:22:16 > 0:22:20and the customs union, he could confirm that the UK was heading
0:22:20 > 0:22:23towards a free trade agreement with the EU, meaning nothing really
0:22:23 > 0:22:29closer than that. So the EU is still by jesting what the Prime Minister
0:22:29 > 0:22:33said, and apart from those who said they regretted that she did not come
0:22:33 > 0:22:37to any concrete proposal as to how to solve the Irish problem, another
0:22:37 > 0:22:41EU diplomat said to me this evening that they were looking for clues as
0:22:41 > 0:22:46to what might become future UK policy at negotiations. The very
0:22:46 > 0:22:50same happened, he said, after the last Brexit speech the Prime
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Minister made in autumn.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Laura, was the speech enough to placate the Leave and Remain
0:22:56 > 0:23:02camps within the Tory Party?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05For now, tonight, yes. That does not mean they will swallow the
0:23:05 > 0:23:09compromises she says they will have to make in the longer term, but in
0:23:09 > 0:23:12terms of this speech, Number Ten believes this has been a step
0:23:12 > 0:23:17forward, if not a giant leap. There are still contradictions. There was
0:23:17 > 0:23:21no dramatic evidence of new thinking. But there was a new layer
0:23:21 > 0:23:25of detail and most importantly as far as Downing Street sees it, a
0:23:25 > 0:23:31message to the EU, let's do a deal. And a signal, a concrete, over
0:23:31 > 0:23:34signal from the Prime Minister for the first time that she knows that
0:23:34 > 0:23:38she will have to make compromises. She knows that Britain will not be
0:23:38 > 0:23:43able to get everything on its list. But also a message, pushing back,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47saying you will have to compromise too. It is legitimate to question
0:23:47 > 0:23:52why it has taken so long for her to strike this note of realism. She has
0:23:52 > 0:23:56been dealing with political difficulties in her own party. But
0:23:56 > 0:24:02tonight, inside the Conservative Party, both sides have broadly
0:24:02 > 0:24:04swallowed this speech. Number Ten believes it has been received pretty
0:24:04 > 0:24:10much as well as it might have been, and rather than Brexiteers and
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Remainers, they are hoping for a pragmatic approach, people who are
0:24:14 > 0:24:18willing to be realistic and pragmatic. But this will be tested
0:24:18 > 0:24:21at an important summit three weeks to night, when Great Britain is very
0:24:21 > 0:24:27keen that point to be able to show real progress. We will see.Thank
0:24:27 > 0:24:29you.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32In Syria, the UN says 24 hospitals and clinics are now known
0:24:32 > 0:24:34to have been hit in the Syrian military's bombardment
0:24:34 > 0:24:35of a rebel-held area near Damascus.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It says a high number of civilians are being killed and injured every
0:24:38 > 0:24:40day in Eastern Ghouta, despite the UN calling
0:24:40 > 0:24:42for a ceasefire nearly a week ago.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, is in Damascus tonight.
0:24:44 > 0:24:52So, a ceasefire in name only?
0:24:52 > 0:24:58There is no ceasefire at the moment. The UN resolution exists on paper,
0:24:58 > 0:25:04but it does not exist in reality. President Putin of Russia, his
0:25:04 > 0:25:08so-called humanitarian pause has, today, quiet and things down in the
0:25:08 > 0:25:14morning. But it started up again. After that, I saw warplanes bombing
0:25:14 > 0:25:19targets in Eastern Ghouta. The thing about the war here in Syria, not
0:25:19 > 0:25:22just in Eastern Ghouta, is that at the end of last year people were
0:25:22 > 0:25:27hoping that maybe it was winding down. But the evidence of this year
0:25:27 > 0:25:33is that it has changed shape, but it has escalated. Unicef, the
0:25:33 > 0:25:36children's fund of the United Nations, have said that something
0:25:36 > 0:25:41like 1000 children this year have either been killed by the war or
0:25:41 > 0:25:45seriously injured. So while the level of rhetoric condemning what is
0:25:45 > 0:25:56happening here has once again ticked up, as a matter of fact, once again,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59international diplomacy, those who want to stop the war, have failed
0:25:59 > 0:26:03once again.Thank you.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05A 21-year-old man who tried to kill a woman
0:26:05 > 0:26:08because she was wearing a hijab has been found guilty
0:26:08 > 0:26:09of attempted murder.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Paul Moore, from Leicester, choose Zaynab Hussein at random
0:26:11 > 0:26:12and ran her over in his car.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16He later told his half-brother he'd "done it for Britain".
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Moore was also convicted of using his car to seriously injure
0:26:19 > 0:26:21a 12-year-old Muslim schoolgirl.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25He'll be sentenced later this month.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will invite more
0:26:27 > 0:26:29than 2500 members of the public to the grounds
0:26:29 > 0:26:31of Windsor Castle for their wedding.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33They'll be able to watch the couple arrive and depart.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Charity workers and school children will be amongst
0:26:35 > 0:26:41those invited to attend.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44This weekend, Hollywood celebrates its 90th year of the Oscars,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47after a tumultuous year for the film industry, following the sex
0:26:47 > 0:26:52abuse scandal involving Harvey Weinstein and others.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55The actor Heather Graham is one of a number of women who accused him
0:26:55 > 0:26:56of sexual harassment.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Now she's written and directed her first film
0:26:58 > 0:26:59about sexism in Hollywood.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04She spoke to our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Why are we sitting around talking about how sad our lives are?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09We should be talking about how great we are.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Half Magic is a romcom, in which three women decide to start
0:27:12 > 0:27:14asserting themselves, to take a stand against the men
0:27:14 > 0:27:16who are undermining them.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I am so relieved that you find me attractive,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20but when can you read the script that we wrote?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Heather Graham plays a junior film executive whose
0:27:22 > 0:27:24career is being frustrated by a mean, sexist boss.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Your boobs are too big.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Whose interest is focused on her body, not her mind.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I wrote this movie because years before that I worked on developing
0:27:33 > 0:27:36movies that I wanted to get made, women's stories that I wanted
0:27:36 > 0:27:39to act in and produce and I couldn't get them made.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41So this movie was my reaction to that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Why couldn't you get them made?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46People would say that I wasn't a big enough star,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49that no one cares about women's stories, that women's
0:27:49 > 0:27:51movies don't make money.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55They would say if you want to get a movie made, write about a man.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Let's make a pact to be with good guys only,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59guys who treat us great like we deserve.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02If you think about how many levels that a woman has to get
0:28:02 > 0:28:05through to get a movie made and seen, you have to go
0:28:05 > 0:28:07through so many levels of male-dominated businesses.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09First of all you have to have the idea that
0:28:09 > 0:28:12you can ever do this, which there's not a lot
0:28:12 > 0:28:13of role models out there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Then you've got to get someone to finance it,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16which is usually a man.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Then you have to get someone to distribute it,
0:28:18 > 0:28:19which is usually a man.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Then when it comes out, you have to get a bunch of male
0:28:23 > 0:28:24journalists to not say that the movie sucks.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27So that you can get to your audience, which is women.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30So all the different steps that you need to get
0:28:30 > 0:28:32through to get to women, which hopefully men will watch it
0:28:32 > 0:28:34too, but you are mainly going for women.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You have to go through like walls and walls of men to get your
0:28:37 > 0:28:39project out in the world.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Why did you break up with me?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Why did you break up with me?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45All I wanted to do was love you and mentor you and help
0:28:45 > 0:28:46you achieve your true potential.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I had a business meeting with a guy.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51I sent in the script.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55I said, "I want to get this movie made, I want to empower women".
0:28:55 > 0:28:57We had this business meeting, he doesn't finance the movie.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I run into him at a party and he said, "Oh, that was so fun
0:29:01 > 0:29:03"when we had that date the other day".
0:29:03 > 0:29:05The lunch meeting where I asked him to finance my movie.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I said, "That wasn't a date, that was a business meeting".
0:29:08 > 0:29:09How long ago was this?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11This was like two years ago.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And do you think if that happened today it would be different?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I think today men are starting to think about their behaviour
0:29:16 > 0:29:19and they are starting to question if, you know, how they should treat
0:29:19 > 0:29:21women in the workplace, which is a good thing.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Will Gompertz, BBC News, Hollywood.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26There is definitely a change of tone here in Hollywood. The question is,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30will it be reflected at the Academy Awards which take place just over
0:29:30 > 0:29:33there in a little over 48 was. Will Rachel Maskell and be the first
0:29:33 > 0:29:41female singer -- cinematographer to win the Oscar? Will Greta girl wig
0:29:41 > 0:29:46win Best director? And will Francis McDormand, as many people think, win
0:29:46 > 0:29:52best actor for her portrayal of Mildred Hayes in three billboards
0:29:52 > 0:29:56outside ebbing, Missouri, which captured the angry female point of
0:29:56 > 0:30:01view which many feel is the essence of the times up movement.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Let's return to our main story,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05and the snow that's brought chaos to much of the UK.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Amid the misery this week for many stuck in cars, on trains,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10struggling into work, there have also been stories of great
0:30:10 > 0:30:13heroism and of those who've gone out of their way to come
0:30:13 > 0:30:14to the aid of others.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Sarah Campbell reports.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18An out-of-control car ends up on the wrong side
0:30:18 > 0:30:19of this Edinburgh road.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23A collision seems inevitable.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26No, no, no, no!
0:30:26 > 0:30:28That it didn't happen is thanks to the quick
0:30:28 > 0:30:30reactions of the bus driver.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35To me, it looks worse on the video than I felt at the time.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I did get a fright, but I managed to avoid it,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40luckily, and then I got on with my job after that.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I totally forgot all about it until I got home and my husband
0:30:43 > 0:30:47asked me if I had seen this video.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50He didn't know it was me that was driving.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Born in Balgedie, Fife.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Despite the village being all but cut off,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57midwives made it to the mum to help with the delivery and local farmers
0:30:57 > 0:31:03cleared the roads to get both Mum and baby safely to hospital.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06And stranded drivers on the A1 in Northumberland were treated
0:31:06 > 0:31:08to cream cakes and muffins, handed out by a fellow
0:31:08 > 0:31:13motorist who happened to be a delivery driver for Greggs.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15In Birmingham, this businessman paid for 12 hotel rooms,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18which he then offered to homeless people.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22You can't expect people to be out in that, it's
0:31:22 > 0:31:24life-threatening, really.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28So I just thought, for the sake of £15, £20, it gets a few
0:31:28 > 0:31:30people off the streets.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32And stuck in Skegness without an event to go to,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35the BBC's Concert Orchestra offered their services as a wedding
0:31:35 > 0:31:40gift to fellow hotel guests on their big day.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42When they started, it took your breath away.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Oh, yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49Very unexpected.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Amid freezing temperatures, the warmth of human
0:31:50 > 0:31:52kindness has resonated.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Sarah Campbell, BBC News.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58That's it.
0:31:58 > 0:32:10Now on BBC1, it's time for the news where you are.Have
