:08:35. > :08:40.correspondent, Chris Mason at Westminster in a moment but first
:08:41. > :08:43.to Jenny Hill in Berlin. Jenny - how much does this reveal
:08:44. > :08:55.about the German In some respects there were no
:08:56. > :08:58.surprises here, the big fear for the German government is Brexit will
:08:59. > :09:02.precipitate the disintegration of Europe. That's why we heard sick,
:09:03. > :09:07.Gabriel saying today if negotiations are handled badly then other member
:09:08. > :09:12.states might start to leave, too, and the EU will go down the drain.
:09:13. > :09:15.Mr Gabriel isn't going to be the last German politician you'll hear
:09:16. > :09:19.saying Britain cannot cherry pick. Tonight he has said Britain can't
:09:20. > :09:25.expect to take away the nice things without taking responsibility, too.
:09:26. > :09:28.Gabriel is known to be outspoken but he represents the views of many
:09:29. > :09:31.German politicians here. Angela Merkel tends to be rather more
:09:32. > :09:36.conciliatory, she's given an interview to German media tonight in
:09:37. > :09:39.which she is said that the Brexit decision has been difficult, and
:09:40. > :09:44.that other EU member states must rush to decisions when it comes to
:09:45. > :09:48.working out how to deal with it. Nevertheless, despite the softer
:09:49. > :09:52.tone from Mrs Merkel you can expect two things. First of all, she's not
:09:53. > :09:56.going to give ground on the issue of freedom of movement, that is an
:09:57. > :10:00.absolute abiding principle for Mrs Merkel and the German government.
:10:01. > :10:04.Secondly, they're in mind Mrs Merkel has been doing the rounds this week,
:10:05. > :10:07.she's visited something like 15 different European leaders this week
:10:08. > :10:11.trying to broker a deal for the future of Europe. She is really
:10:12. > :10:16.starting to plan, making a very good show of starting to plan, for a
:10:17. > :10:20.Europe without Britain in it. That is the view from Berlin. Let's turn
:10:21. > :10:23.to Chris Mason in Westminster. What do we know about how our government
:10:24. > :10:28.is going to approach Brexit? It'll be a big moment on Wednesday when
:10:29. > :10:31.Theresa May covers her cabinet for the first time since the summer
:10:32. > :10:34.break at Chequers, her country retreat in Buckinghamshire. She's
:10:35. > :10:39.asked them to come along with ideas on how best to deliver Brexit, the
:10:40. > :10:43.big question the big government faces. There will be differing
:10:44. > :10:47.views. Some want to emphasise a desire that will ensure access to
:10:48. > :10:51.the single market remains. That could pose problems in terms of
:10:52. > :10:55.dealing with immigration. There will be different views here as well,
:10:56. > :11:00.when MPs come back to Parliament a week tomorrow. Today we've seen a
:11:01. > :11:04.new group emerged cold", it emerged from the ashes of a failed Remain
:11:05. > :11:08.campaign, one of its founding members, Anna Soubry, a Conservative
:11:09. > :11:13.MP, has said tonight it is absolutely critical for UK maintains
:11:14. > :11:16.access to that single market. And yet as we were hearing from Jenny,
:11:17. > :11:21.there will be voices in Europe that they that can't happen if freedom of
:11:22. > :11:25.movement is going to be shifted as a policy idea as well. A huge amount
:11:26. > :11:29.for the new government to wrestle with. Downing Street said today that
:11:30. > :11:33.Theresa May returns to work after her summer break with Brexit top of
