:00:24. > :00:27.The Prime Minister has said Britain will seize the opportunities that

:00:28. > :00:29.Brexit presents as it forges a new global role.

:00:30. > :00:31.Theresa May was speaking after arriving in China

:00:32. > :00:36.She's been meeting with President Obama, who said that

:00:37. > :00:38.while he hoped Brexit wouldn't damage Britain's special

:00:39. > :00:40.relationship with the US, he would continue to put securing

:00:41. > :00:45.a trade deal with the EU ahead of negotiating with Britain.

:00:46. > :00:49.Here's our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg.

:00:50. > :01:02.And after a journey through a city that's more like a ghost town,

:01:03. > :01:08.the first time Theresa May's walked this red carpet.

:01:09. > :01:10.And for the first time, the Prime Minister has really

:01:11. > :01:20.had to explain what happens next to the rest of the world.

:01:21. > :01:24.The people in the UK voted for the UK to leave

:01:25. > :01:27.The Government respects that decision.

:01:28. > :01:32.So there will be no second referendum, no attempt

:01:33. > :01:35.no attempt to try and get out of this.

:01:36. > :01:37.The UK will be leaving the European Union.

:01:38. > :01:39.Yet the world's most powerful politician,

:01:40. > :01:42.for another few months at least, stood by his warning that Britain

:01:43. > :01:44.would be at the back of the queue for trade.

:01:45. > :01:46.The world benefited enormously from the United Kingdom's

:01:47. > :01:55.But I also said at the time that, ultimately, this was a decision

:01:56. > :01:57.for the British people, and the British people

:01:58. > :02:04.And I never suggested that we would "punish" Great Britain,

:02:05. > :02:08.but, first things first, and the first task is going to be

:02:09. > :02:12.figuring out what Brexit means with respect to Europe,

:02:13. > :02:15.and our first task is making sure we get the first TPP done,

:02:16. > :02:20.but also that we move forward on in the TTIP negotiations,

:02:21. > :02:24.in which we have already invested a lot of time and effort.

:02:25. > :02:27.Those trade discussions aren't so pretty, and other talks

:02:28. > :02:34.There's serious tension behind the carefully-prepared backdrops

:02:35. > :02:40.The Prime Minister delayed the building of a nuclear station

:02:41. > :02:48.expect difficult talks with her host away from the cameras tomorrow.

:02:49. > :02:51.Just as at home, the Prime Minister faces demands here to

:02:52. > :02:54.explain what leaving the EU will really mean.

:02:55. > :02:56.The world's most powerful are gathered here in China

:02:57. > :03:00.and ready to listen, but frank remarks from a political

:03:01. > :03:06.friend like America suggests there's a lot to do.

:03:07. > :03:10.won the Prime Minister her place in this line-up.

:03:11. > :03:13.Few here expect Britain's departure from the EU will be as smooth

:03:14. > :03:22.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou.

:03:23. > :03:25.The Labour MP Keith Vaz is reportedly standing down as chairman

:03:26. > :03:28.of the Home Affairs Select Committee following allegations in a Sunday

:03:29. > :03:33.newspaper that he paid for the services of male escorts.

:03:34. > :03:35.Our political correspondent Ben Wright is here.

:03:36. > :03:47.Keith Vaz is the Labour MP for Leicester East, a very high-profile

:03:48. > :03:51.politician. For the last decade he has been the chairman of the home

:03:52. > :03:55.affairs select committee in the Houses of Parliament, which

:03:56. > :03:59.scrutinises crime and drugs policy, currently reviewing prostitution

:04:00. > :04:03.laws, and I think that's why this matters politically. The allegations

:04:04. > :04:07.are in the Sunday Mirror newspapers and they allege Keith Vaz paid for

:04:08. > :04:12.two male prostitutes to visit him at a flat last month and according to

:04:13. > :04:14.the paper they discussed using the party drug poppers, which are not

:04:15. > :04:34.illegal to use and there is nothing to

:04:35. > :04:37.suggest Keith Vaz has broken any laws. In a statement he said it is

:04:38. > :04:39.deeply disturbing a national newspaper should have paid

:04:40. > :04:41.individuals to act this way. He has referred these allegations to his

:04:42. > :04:44.solicitor. The Sunday Mirror say they are standing by his story, and

:04:45. > :04:47.in a separate statement he gave to the Mail on Sunday, Keith Vaz said

:04:48. > :04:49.he is sorry and is standing down as chairman of the select committee,

:04:50. > :04:50.but we haven't had that confirmed from him yet. Thank you.

:04:51. > :04:52.Pope Francis has declared the Roman Catholic nun

:04:53. > :04:55.Mother Teresa a saint in front of a vast crowd in the Vatican.

:04:56. > :04:58.Mother Teresa, who died in 1997, founded her Missionaries of Charity

:04:59. > :05:01.order to care for the needy in the slums of India.

:05:02. > :05:04.Here's our Religious Affairs Correspondent Caroline Wyatt.

:05:05. > :05:06.Mother Teresa's face beamed out over St Peter's Square,

:05:07. > :05:09.where the faithful gathered from early this morning,

:05:10. > :05:12.including many nuns from the Missionaries Of Charity,

:05:13. > :05:16.an order she founded in 1950 with just 12 followers.

:05:17. > :05:19.Its aim - to care for the poorest of the poor in India,

:05:20. > :05:30.Pope Francis praised the example set by Mother Teresa to all

:05:31. > :05:34.Christians, as he declared the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

:05:35. > :05:47.a saint to be venerated by the whole Roman Catholic Church.

:05:48. > :05:50.Later, the Pope said St Teresa's mission of

:05:51. > :05:53.serving the poor and the needy, the elderly and the unwanted,

:05:54. > :05:56.was a way of shining a light in the darkness,

:05:57. > :06:01.and showing divine mercy here on earth.

:06:02. > :06:04.Despite the heat and the tight security here at the Vatican here

:06:05. > :06:07.today, the pilgrims came in their tens of thousands

:06:08. > :06:09.to celebrate the canonisation of this extraordinary woman,

:06:10. > :06:16.Even 19 years after her death, St Teresa remains

:06:17. > :06:24.figure for her work in the slums of Calcutta, where she set up

:06:25. > :06:36.Her work still inspires many today. Pilgrims came here this weekend from

:06:37. > :06:41.around the world, including this group from the blessing Mother

:06:42. > :06:46.Teresa primary School in Stafford. I have great respect and admiration

:06:47. > :06:50.for everything she did. We have been to Kolkata, we have seen what she

:06:51. > :06:57.has done, working with the poor and needy. Saint Teresa's critics say

:06:58. > :07:02.her hospices were not hygienic and she took money from dictators from

:07:03. > :07:09.her charity, but those here say her life remains an example to all

:07:10. > :07:11.Christians. Caroline Wyatt, BBC News, Rome.

:07:12. > :07:14.The government has announced how it will spend the ?10 million set aside

:07:15. > :07:17.to help settle 20,000 Syrian refugees in the UK by 2020.

:07:18. > :07:19.It says 170 councils have come forward to say

:07:20. > :07:22.Ministers say 2,800 Syrians had arrived

:07:23. > :07:31.A home, a neighbourhood, a community, no longer recognisable.

:07:32. > :07:36.Hussain, with his mother and sister, are one of the few families that

:07:37. > :07:41.have stayed in this part of Aleppo, in Syria.

:07:42. > :07:43.In all, the UN estimates that 4.5 million Syrians have now

:07:44. > :07:46.A year ago, David Cameron made this pledge.

:07:47. > :07:49.We are proposing that Britain should resettle up to 20,000 Syrian

:07:50. > :07:52.refugees over the rest of this Parliament.

:07:53. > :07:56.The Home Office says it's on course to meet that target.

:07:57. > :07:59.It has now confirmed that 170 councils across the UK have agreed

:08:00. > :08:01.between them to provide 20,000 places to re-home Syrian

:08:02. > :08:12.More than 2,800 have already been resettled in the UK.

:08:13. > :08:15.The Government will provide ?8,500 per refugee in the first year,

:08:16. > :08:18.tapering down to ?1,000 in the fifth year.

:08:19. > :08:20.Clearly, the more refugees that we're going to resettle,

:08:21. > :08:24.We need to make sure that the resources are there,

:08:25. > :08:26.so that the NHS, schools, that local communities,

:08:27. > :08:28.when it comes to things like housing, policing,

:08:29. > :08:33.the infrastructure that we need, are not bearing an unfair burden.

:08:34. > :08:36.In the meantime, tens of thousands remain stranded in camps like this

:08:37. > :08:39.one, on the border between Syria and Jordan.

:08:40. > :08:41.Charities like Refugee Action want the UK to go further,

:08:42. > :08:47.There will be a refugee crisis for as long as the conflict in Syria

:08:48. > :08:51.continues, and there is no sign of it ending soon.

:08:52. > :08:58.The funerals have taken place this morning of the five friends who died

:08:59. > :09:00.after getting into trouble in the water at

:09:01. > :09:05.The men were buried in a ceremony in Plumstead in East London

:09:06. > :09:11.Mourners gathered from first light to pay their respects and say a last

:09:12. > :09:13.farewell to five young men who lost their lives

:09:14. > :09:18.Their funerals were held together to reflect their close

:09:19. > :09:25.It has just hit our community, not just our

:09:26. > :09:28.south London community, but also other communities across London

:09:29. > :09:31.very, very strongly, and that's why you see

:09:32. > :09:45.The five friends died at Camber Sands a week and a half ago.

:09:53. > :09:59.The beach had no lifeguards, that has been criticised by some of the

:10:00. > :10:03.families and the local council says it is considering all options for

:10:04. > :10:06.next summer including permanent lifeguard service. Friends and

:10:07. > :10:10.relatives of the men invited the media to attend the funerals today

:10:11. > :10:15.in the hope it may save others from the pain of losing loved ones to the

:10:16. > :10:19.sea. We wanted to use this opportunity to raise awareness of

:10:20. > :10:24.beach safety, raise the importance of lifeguards, and the fact that us

:10:25. > :10:28.as young people need to know the measures that could be life saving

:10:29. > :10:34.because we believe these could have been prevented. The coffins were

:10:35. > :10:40.born by horse-drawn hearse to private cremation.

:10:41. > :10:52.That's it from us, have a good afternoon.

:10:53. > :10:57.The weekend has been very mixed weather but over the week ahead

:10:58. > :11:01.there will be some changes. The summer just gone has been described
