China rolls out the red carpet but Japan and the United States

As President Obama says a UK trade deal is not a priority,

the Prime Minister says there may be difficult times ahead -

As we forge a new global role for the UK, we can and will seize

the opportunities that Brexit presents and make a success of it.

Also on the programme this evening? One of Britain's

longest serving MPs - Labour's Keith Vaz -

faces allegations of involvement with male escorts.

Theresa May has warned that there may be difficult times

ahead as Britain forges new relationships in the wake

She's been speaking in China where she's attending her first G20

summit as Prime Minister - and where President Obama has sad

that he would prioritise trade talks with the EU over negotiations

Our Political Editor Laura Kuennsberg reports from Hangzhou,

And after a journey through a city that's more like a ghost town,

the first time Theresa May's walked this red carpet.

And for the first time, the Prime Minister has really had

to explain what happens next to the rest of the world.

There will be no second referendum, no attempt to turn the clock back,

no attempt to try and get out of this.

The UK will be leaving the European Union.

Yet the world's most powerful politician, for another

few months at least, stood by his warning that Britain

would be at the back of the queue for trade.

The world benefited enormously from the United Kingdom's

And I never suggested that we would "punish"

Great Britain, but, first things first, and the first task

is going to be figuring out what Brexit means

with respect to Europe, and our first task is making sure

we get the first TPP done, but also that we move forward

on the TTIP negotiations, in which we have already invested

Those discussions aren't so pretty, and others here uncomfortable, too.

The Japanese government took a significant step of publishing

a document detailing warnings that Japanese companies -

banks or carmakers - might quit Britain if a Brexit

A textbook greeting from waving children

But this political glamour cannot hide the grunt work,

maybe years of graft, to work out internationally

This huge political jamboree is a gathering of the world's most

influential leaders, all here and ready to listen.

And as at home, the biggest demands on Theresa May are that she give

more detail of her plans of life after the EU.

The difficulty for her is without consensus at home,

there is not much that is clear that she can really tell them.

The risk with a relatively blank page is that others

The 19 others gathered here boast not just clashing cultures

but clashing visions of what they want from Britain.

The Prime Minister is under pressure now to express just

The Labour MP Keith Vaz is considering his position as chairman

of the Home Affairs Select Committee following newspaper

allegations that he paid for the services of male escorts.

The married father-of-two described the actions of the Sunday Mirror

in publishing the escorts' story as "deeply disturbing".

Our political correspondent Ben Wright reports.

Nobody is questioning our integrity, it is your judgment were

questioning. By Ignatius, high-profile, keen to question

others. We have found evidence most unsatisfactory. A politician never

far from the camera, for nine years Keith Vaz has chaired the home

affairs Select Committee in the Commons and seemed to enjoy the

limelight. But there was no sign of him at home today. His career

trouble. Because of allegations in the Sunday Mirror that Mr Vaz paid

for two Eastern European male escorts to visit him one evening

last month at a flat he owns in London. According to the paper, Mr

Vaz, who said his name was Jim, a washing machine salesman, and it is

clear the men discussed using the party drug poppers. There is no

suggestion he has broken any laws. The MP is married with two children

and in a statement given to the Mail on Sunday, he said he was genuinely

sorry for the hurt and distress that has been caused by his actions. But

in a new statement issued to the BBC this afternoon, Mr Vaz said it was

deeply troubling that a national newspaper should have paid

individuals who have acted in this way.

Have referred these allegations to my solicitor. He is going to meet

the home affairs Select Committee and discuss with them what his role

will be in the future. I'm not sure what the decision will be. I wanted

to him to decide. You're happy having him as a member of your

party? Well, he has not committed any crime that I know of, as far as

I am aware it is a private matter. Keith Vaz could be standing down

from leading a committee that has grabbed headlines. Last year it

argued a ban on so-called legal highs should not include poppers and

the government agreed. In his constituency today, surprise. I am

shocked. Slightly disappointing, it is a bit weird but everybody has got

their own right to do what they really want. I am a bit shocked,

really. I just went out and I find the site. I thought, oh my god! The

committee that Keith Vaz chairs is currently carrying out an enquiry

into prostitution laws and that is one reason his political credibility

has been damaged by allegations of his personal conduct. As MPs return

to Westminster this week, many will surely be asking how, why one of

their colleagues who were so high profile appears to have behaved so

recklessly. Ben Wright, BBC News, Westminster.

Nearly 20 years after her death, Mother Teresa, known for decades

of work amid the poor and needy in the slums of Kolkata,

Our Religious Affairs Correspondent Caroline Wyatt joins us

from St Peter's Square where the ceremony's

It has been a day of player and also celebration here are the life of a

woman known personally to many of the pilgrims who came here today.

The woman who Pope Francis described as living her life 's Odyssey and

for others. He called a tireless worker of Mercy who was there to

help defend the week, the helpless and the vulnerable.

Mother Teresa's face beamed out over St Peter's Square,

where the faithful gathered from early this morning,

including many nuns from the Missionaries Of Charity,

the order she founded in 1950 with just 12 followers.

Pope Francis praised the example set by Mother Teresa to all Christians,

as he declared the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta a saint to be

venerated by the whole Roman Catholic Church.

Later, the Pope said St Teresa's mission of serving

the poor and the sick, the elderly and the unwanted,

was a way of shining a light in the darkness,

and showing divine mercy here on Earth.

Despite the heat and the tight security here at the Vatican today,

the pilgrims came in their tens of thousands to celebrate

the canonisation of this extraordinary woman,

joy is still vivid for the woman from West Bengal who set the trees

on the path to sainthood. Suffering from stomach illness, she prayed to

Mother Teresa to intercede and claims that in America, she was

healed. TRANSLATION: It was the anniversary of Mother Teresa's death

and the medicine had not worked but I had faith inside, I prayed and

overnight I was cured. Even 19 years after her death,

St Teresa remains an instantly recognisable figure for her work

in the slums of Calcutta, where She was a saint before this stamp

was given to her. She was a saint well before that.

I have great respect and admiration for all that she did.

We have been to Calcutta, we have seen what she has done,

Saint Teresa's critics say her hospices were unhygienic

and that she took money from dictators for her charity,

But her supporters say those critics should show the same love and mercy

in her own lives as they say centuries did in her life.

The funerals of five men who drowned at Camber Sands have been

The five were friends who were all in their teens and 20s

and had been on a day trip to the beach when they died.

Their families say they wanted to use the occasion to highlight

The fact that us as young people, we need to know the safety measures

that could be life-saving because we really believe these

lives could have been prevented from going.

The government has said it's setting aside ?10 million to help Syrian

It comes as it was revealed there are now 170 councils willing

to help house the 20,000 refugees Britain has committed

Around 2,500 refugees from Syria have already settled

here and our correspondent Matthew Price has been to meet one

Tucked away in a small hairdressers this afternoon we find one of the

first Syrians to be resettled under the government programme. I am

living my life without hearing the voices of children shouting from the

bombs. When you hear these voices, you feel sad because you cannot do

anything. She is getting language lessons here, helping out in the

local salon and is training to be an accountant. I want to build my life.

If I fall down, I will start again. In all, 20,000 Syrians will

eventually be brought to the UK. More than 2800 have already been

resettled here. The government will give councils ?8,500 for each

refugee they resettle in the first year and that payment tapers to

about ?1000 by the theft. Person by person in places like this, this

refugee resettlement programme is going ahead. There will be many

people who say that 20,000 Syrians over a number of years is nothing

like enough. And yet there will be others who will be concerned that

even with the government help, some local authorities will be stretched.

A local council is convinced they have enough money for this? One of

the reasons the Syrian scheme has been a success story and the UK

response to the refugee crisis is it is voluntary, a partnership between

central and local government and the funding means those councils coming

forward are ones that know they have both housing available and also

school places for children that may be coming. And all the time, the

need is growing. In the northern Syrian city of Aleppo today, more

lives were destroyed. Tragically, the live more than 3.5 million

Syrian refugees and I didn't think they should be an upper limit,

Britain should go further and faster. We should bring in those

20,000 refugees and then we should do more. Politically, that could be

difficult. But for those already here, this country has given her a

chance. Football and England are in action

in their first World Cup It's a big test for new manager

Sam Allardyce as Joe Wilson reports. In Slovakia, the national football

players are nicknamed the Falcons, hence the display. If you are the

manager of England you normally wait for the vultures. Still, whatever

befell his predecessors, Sam Allardyce was enthused by England's

fresh start. That is the latest fresh start. Basically he has the

same tools to fix the problems. No magic array of new talent. Harry

Kane upfront. Harry Kane and the ball almost met each other. But

Wayne Rooney lurking behind, Raheem Sterling in front of goal. The Mrs

are just as agonising when viewed from the England blazer. Sized big.

What was going on inside Martin Skrtel's mind? Already built, he did

this to Harry Kane's ankle. He was sent off. Harry Kane got up. England

were up against ten, free kick for Number 10. Wayne Rooney, still

England's captain. Still England waiting. Joe Wilson, BBC News.

Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall joins us from Trnava.

What is the latest from inside? This was a big test today for England,

not just because of the opponent but because England needed to restore

some pride and it remains goalless at the moment, despite plenty of

pressure from England and despite Theo Walcott having a goal for

offside. The reign of Sam Allardyce depends on whether or not England

can find a way through here in the final few seconds. At the moment it

seems to undermine the size of the task he faces in restoring some

belief to this England team amongst fans. Thank you.
