At the G20 summit, warnings for the Prime Minister about how

:00:00.:00:07.

world leaders see the UK after the Brexit vote.

:00:08.:00:12.

It's the red carpet for Theresa May in China, but the US and Japan raise

:00:13.:00:15.

concerns about the impact of leaving the European Union.

:00:16.:00:21.

President Obama says US trade talks with Brussels will take priority

:00:22.:00:24.

Tonight, Mrs May is signalling a new approach to tackling immigration.

:00:25.:00:33.

One of Labour's most high profile MPs - Keith Vaz -

:00:34.:00:38.

faces allegations that he paid for the services of male escorts.

:00:39.:00:45.

The ceremony at the Vatican that's made the late Mother Teresa a Saint.

:00:46.:00:54.

And a last gasp goal saves England against Slovakia in their first game

:00:55.:00:58.

Theresa May has faced stark warnings about the impact of Britain's

:00:59.:01:23.

departure from the European Union from world leaders at

:01:24.:01:28.

At her first international summit since becoming Prime Minister,

:01:29.:01:31.

President Obama has warned that the United States

:01:32.:01:34.

will prioritise trade talks with the EU over

:01:35.:01:36.

And Japan's government is urging Mrs May to minimise the impact

:01:37.:01:43.

of Brexit on Japanese firms employing tens of

:01:44.:01:45.

Our Political Editor Laura Kuennsberg is in Hangzhou,

:01:46.:01:52.

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

:01:53.:02:09.

the first time Theresa May has walked this red carpet.

:02:10.:02:15.

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

:02:16.:02:17.

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

:02:18.:02:22.

BARACK OBAMA: Good morning everybody.

:02:23.:02:24.

They'll be no second referendum, no attempt to turn the clock back,

:02:25.:02:26.

no attempt to try and get out of this.

:02:27.:02:29.

The UK will be leaving the European Union.

:02:30.:02:31.

Yet the world's most powerful politician, for another

:02:32.:02:34.

few months at least, stood by his warning that Britain

:02:35.:02:37.

would be at the back of the queue for trade.

:02:38.:02:40.

The world benefited enormously from the United Kingdom's

:02:41.:02:45.

And I never suggested that we would "punish"

:02:46.:02:52.

Great Britain, but, first things first.

:02:53.:02:55.

The first task is going to be figuring out what Brexit means

:02:56.:02:58.

And our first task is making sure that we get first TPP done,

:02:59.:03:04.

but also, that we move forward on the TTIP negotiations

:03:05.:03:08.

in which we've already invested a lot of time and effort.

:03:09.:03:13.

Those discussions aren't so pretty, and others

:03:14.:03:15.

The Japanese government took the significant step of publishing

:03:16.:03:21.

a document detailing warnings that Japanese companies, banks

:03:22.:03:27.

or car-makers might quit Britain if a Brexit trade deals stumbles.

:03:28.:03:34.

And there's serious tension behind the carefully prepared backdrops

:03:35.:03:37.

between Britain and China, after the Prime Minister delayed

:03:38.:03:40.

the building of a nuclear power station with billions

:03:41.:03:43.

With questions of trust, expect difficult talks with her host

:03:44.:03:48.

And tricky conversations have already been had

:03:49.:03:56.

There were some complex and serious areas of concern

:03:57.:04:02.

I hope we will be able to have a frank and open relationship.

:04:03.:04:08.

The two leaders faces betraying differences of opinion.

:04:09.:04:13.

The Russian hoping to restore relations, the Prime Minister

:04:14.:04:16.

insisting it cannot be business as usual.

:04:17.:04:25.

Then to dealings over dinner, a textbook greeting

:04:26.:04:28.

from waving children, as the leaders' limos rolled in.

:04:29.:04:32.

But this political grammar can't hide the grunt work,

:04:33.:04:35.

maybe years of graft, to work out internationally

:04:36.:04:39.

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

:04:40.:04:46.

influential leaders, all here and ready to listen.

:04:47.:04:50.

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

:04:51.:04:53.

more detail of her plans of life after the EU.

:04:54.:04:59.

The difficulty for her is without consensus at home,

:05:00.:05:03.

there's not much that's clear that she can really tell them.

:05:04.:05:06.

The risk with a relatively blank page is that others

:05:07.:05:09.

The 19 others gathered here boast not just clashing cultures,

:05:10.:05:20.

but clashing visions of what they want from Britain.

:05:21.:05:23.

The Prime Minister is under pressure now to express just

:05:24.:05:27.

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou.

:05:28.:05:35.

As you heard there, the Japanese government has warned

:05:36.:05:37.

about the possible consequences of Brexit for Japanese

:05:38.:05:40.

companies who employ around 140,000 people in the UK.

:05:41.:05:45.

Japan is calling for tariff free access to the European single

:05:46.:05:48.

market to be maintained - and continued access

:05:49.:05:50.

It also says Japanese companies could move their headquarters

:05:51.:05:57.

to EU countries if the demands are not met.

:05:58.:06:02.

Our Business Editor Simon Jack is here.

:06:03.:06:03.

I think it's significant for a couple of reasons. There's the

:06:04.:06:15.

timing to coincide with the G20. The second, the fact it's been made

:06:16.:06:20.

public. Usually they would work behind-the-scenes. This document

:06:21.:06:23.

represents the most concrete example of the hopes and fears of a foreign

:06:24.:06:27.

government we have for what happens post-Brexit. It comes from a

:06:28.:06:30.

government that has companies that have been investing here for

:06:31.:06:38.

decades, Nissan, Honda, some of the banks. The car industry is

:06:39.:06:42.

particularly sensitive to Brexit. They want tariff free access to the

:06:43.:06:46.

EU because they often import components, put them together and

:06:47.:06:51.

ship them back. Any friction on that wall throw engine into the sand

:06:52.:06:55.

twice. What we seem to be getting from Theresa May is we need control

:06:56.:07:03.

of the border is first and work back from there. Everyone is looking at

:07:04.:07:06.

Anglo-Chinese relationships at the moment with Hinkley Point, this is a

:07:07.:07:12.

missive from Japan saying, when you are going forward, don't forget who

:07:13.:07:14.

your old mates are, here. And we can speak to Laura

:07:15.:07:17.

Kuenssberg in Hangzhou. Laura - news tonight of how

:07:18.:07:19.

Theresa May might deal with immigration after Britain

:07:20.:07:22.

leaves the European Union. It feels like a long time ago in the

:07:23.:07:34.

middle of this unit Chinese night. But during the referendum campaign,

:07:35.:07:38.

the biggest and probably most influential promise made by the fete

:07:39.:07:42.

Leave Campaign was to control immigration from around the EU and

:07:43.:07:47.

to do so by introducing a points-based system for people to

:07:48.:07:51.

come to the UK. They would have to do so, they wouldn't just be able to

:07:52.:07:55.

decide to move to the UK from anywhere else around the EU. But

:07:56.:08:00.

speaking to us on the way to the summit, Theresa May made it

:08:01.:08:04.

abundantly clear that she is not necessarily committed to following

:08:05.:08:09.

that idea. She suggested one of the issues was whether points-based

:08:10.:08:13.

system is even work at all, and to use her phrase although a lot of

:08:14.:08:18.

people think it's the answer, there is no one silver bullet. Technically

:08:19.:08:23.

she's not bound as Prime Minister by any of the promises made by the Vote

:08:24.:08:28.

Leave campaign, she's picking her own careful path towards Brexit and

:08:29.:08:32.

she's made it clear she'll do it in her own time. But if she doesn't

:08:33.:08:37.

keep those promises, she risks anger in her own party, but more

:08:38.:08:43.

important, among the millions of voters who checked the box and the

:08:44.:08:51.

Brexit who believed they would get one thing but could turn up to be

:08:52.:08:52.

something else instead. One of Labour's most high

:08:53.:08:56.

profile MPs, Keith Vaz, has criticised a national newspaper,

:08:57.:08:58.

after it published claims Mr Vaz, who is married with two

:08:59.:09:00.

children, says he'll announce on Tuesday whether he'll be standing

:09:01.:09:04.

down as chair of the influential House of Commons Home

:09:05.:09:07.

Affairs Committee. Our political Correspondent Ben

:09:08.:09:08.

Wright has more details. Nobody is questioning your

:09:09.:09:12.

integrity, it's your judgment Pugnacious, high-profile,

:09:13.:09:13.

keen to question others. We have found your evidence

:09:14.:09:19.

is most unsatisfactory. A politician never far

:09:20.:09:26.

from the camera, for nine years Keith Vaz has chaired

:09:27.:09:28.

the Home Affairs Select But there was no sign

:09:29.:09:30.

of him at home today, his career in trouble,

:09:31.:09:35.

because of allegations in the Sunday Mirror that Mr Vaz

:09:36.:09:37.

paid for two Eastern European male escorts to visit him

:09:38.:09:41.

one evening last month According to the paper,

:09:42.:09:43.

Mr Vaz said his name was Jim, And it's claimed the men discussed

:09:44.:09:49.

using the party drug poppers. There is no suggestion Mr Vaz has

:09:50.:09:55.

broken any laws. The MP is married with two children,

:09:56.:09:59.

and in a statement given to the Mail on Sunday Mr Vaz said

:10:00.:10:03.

he was "genuinely sorry for the hurt and distress that has been caused

:10:04.:10:06.

by his actions". But in a new statement issued

:10:07.:10:09.

to the BBC this afternoon, He is going to meet

:10:10.:10:13.

the Home Affairs Select Committee and discuss with them what his role

:10:14.:10:26.

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

:10:27.:10:29.

will be, I will leave And you're quite happy having him

:10:30.:10:33.

still as a member of your party? Well, he hasn't committed any crime

:10:34.:10:40.

that I know of, as far as I'm aware Keith Vaz could be standing down

:10:41.:10:43.

from leading a committee that Last year it argued a ban

:10:44.:10:49.

on so-called legal highs should not include poppers,

:10:50.:10:53.

and the government agreed. Slightly disappointing and a bit

:10:54.:10:57.

weird, but I think everybody has got their own right to do

:10:58.:11:06.

what they really want. Because I just went out

:11:07.:11:10.

and I found this out, The committee that Keith Vaz chairs

:11:11.:11:14.

is currently carrying out an enquiry into prostitution laws,

:11:15.:11:19.

and that's one reason his political credibility has been

:11:20.:11:22.

damaged by allegations As MPs return to Westminster this

:11:23.:11:25.

week, many will surely be asking, how, why one of their colleagues

:11:26.:11:31.

who is so high profile, appears Ben Wright, BBC News,

:11:32.:11:35.

Westminster. Nearly 20 years after her death,

:11:36.:11:42.

Mother Teresa, known for her decades of work in the slums of Kolkata,

:11:43.:11:45.

has been made a saint. The ceremony was led by Pope Francis

:11:46.:11:49.

before a huge crowd in St Peter's Square in Rome,

:11:50.:11:51.

where he said Mother Teresa had made her voice heard before

:11:52.:11:55.

the powers of the world. Our Religious Affairs Correspondent

:11:56.:11:59.

Caroline Wyatt was there. Mother Teresa's face beamed out

:12:00.:12:05.

over St Peter's Square, where the faithful gathered

:12:06.:12:08.

from early this morning. Among them, many nuns

:12:09.:12:11.

from the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded in 1950

:12:12.:12:14.

with just 12 followers. Pope Francis praised the example set

:12:15.:12:25.

by Mother Teresa to all Christians, as he declared the Blessed Teresa

:12:26.:12:28.

of Calcutta a saint to be venerated Later, the Pope said

:12:29.:12:32.

St Teresa's mission of serving the poor and the sick,

:12:33.:12:47.

the elderly and the unwanted, was a way of shining

:12:48.:12:50.

a light into the darkness, and showing divine

:12:51.:12:53.

mercy here on Earth. Despite the heat and the tight

:12:54.:12:57.

security here at the Vatican today, the pilgrims came in their tens

:12:58.:13:00.

of thousands to celebrate the canonisation of this

:13:01.:13:02.

extraordinary woman, The joy is still vivid

:13:03.:13:04.

for Monica Besra, a woman from West Bengal who set Teresa

:13:05.:13:15.

on the path to sainthood. Suffering from a stomach tumour,

:13:16.:13:19.

she prayed to Mother Teresa to intercede on her behalf,

:13:20.:13:22.

and claims that in a TRANSLATION: It was the anniversary

:13:23.:13:24.

of Mother Teresa's death and the medicine had not worked,

:13:25.:13:33.

but I had faith inside. Even 19 years after her death,

:13:34.:13:36.

St Teresa remains an instantly recognisable figure for her work

:13:37.:13:47.

in the slums of Calcutta, where she set up her hospice

:13:48.:13:51.

for the dying. She was a saint before this human

:13:52.:13:57.

stamp was given to her. You don't have to be perfect

:13:58.:14:05.

in order to be holy. But God calls everybody and gives us

:14:06.:14:12.

the grace for sanctification. So for me it's a model that even

:14:13.:14:14.

I also can become a saint. Saint Teresa's critics

:14:15.:14:20.

say her hospices were unhygienic and that she took money

:14:21.:14:23.

from dictators for her charity. But her supporters say those critics

:14:24.:14:28.

should show the same love and mercy in their own lives as they say

:14:29.:14:31.

St Teresa did in hers. Caroline Wyatt, BBC News,

:14:32.:14:36.

Rome. A delegation of seven British

:14:37.:14:50.

religious leaders and two delegations of the House of Lords

:14:51.:14:54.

have met the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

:14:55.:14:57.

Pictures of the meeting were broadcast by Syrian

:14:58.:14:59.

The Foreign Office said the delegation was not representing

:15:00.:15:02.

The BBC understands that the Foreign Office strongly

:15:03.:15:05.

advised the group not to travel to Damascus.

:15:06.:15:07.

In Germany, exit polls suggest that an anti-immigration party has beaten

:15:08.:15:09.

the Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, into third

:15:10.:15:11.

The centre-left SPD looks set to win, with the Alternative

:15:12.:15:17.

Today's vote has been seen as a test of Mrs Merkel's staying power before

:15:18.:15:23.

Jenny Hill is in the capital, Berlin.

:15:24.:15:29.

Jenny, how much of a blow is this for the German Chancellor?

:15:30.:15:40.

For Mrs MMerkel this is extremely humiliating, not least because it

:15:41.:15:46.

took place on her home ground. This election was all about Mrs Merkel's

:15:47.:15:53.

refugee policy. She has been insisting, we can do it and

:15:54.:15:58.

increasingly voters are disbelieving her. There is an almost the brow

:15:59.:16:02.

atmosphere, people are nervous about integration, they are worried about

:16:03.:16:12.

domestic security. The parties increasingly strident anti-Islam

:16:13.:16:15.

message is appealing to those voters. It's looking pretty bad for

:16:16.:16:20.

Mrs Merkel but don't be tempted to write her off. If you ask people who

:16:21.:16:25.

would replace her, they all say, there simply isn't anyone else.

:16:26.:16:28.

It is four years since the London Paralympics,

:16:29.:16:30.

an event which many disabled people feel had a positive

:16:31.:16:33.

But research carried out for the charity Scope suggests that

:16:34.:16:36.

just 20% feel their lives have improved since 2012.

:16:37.:16:41.

Ahead of the Rio Paralympics, which begin on Wednesday,

:16:42.:16:46.

our correspondent Nikki Fox has this assessment.

:16:47.:16:49.

The Paralympics in 2012 were the most successful Games ever.

:16:50.:16:53.

And the impact on disability sport was undeniable.

:16:54.:17:00.

We hear a lot about legacy but what does the Paralympics

:17:01.:17:02.

really mean to these wheelchair basketball players?

:17:03.:17:07.

They've removed a lot of stigma from disabled sports.

:17:08.:17:09.

I think people, the wider public, seem to begin to realise just how

:17:10.:17:12.

difficult and how much training and dedication goes

:17:13.:17:14.

People don't feel like if they're 50 yards ahead of you they have got

:17:15.:17:21.

It's opened people's eyes to say just because they've got

:17:22.:17:25.

a disability doesn't mean they can't do the same everyday things that

:17:26.:17:28.

In the build-up to Rio this advert has been watched by millions

:17:29.:17:33.

but the disability charity, Scope, isn't optimistic when it comes

:17:34.:17:35.

to the Games having a lasting impact on

:17:36.:17:37.

Four years on from 2012 their research shows that only 20%

:17:38.:17:48.

We need to think about sort of a lasting change.

:17:49.:17:53.

The employment gap has not moved in ten years.

:17:54.:17:56.

We still need to see lots of progress on

:17:57.:18:00.

the built environment, on accessible transport.

:18:01.:18:03.

We haven't even scratched the surface of people with hidden

:18:04.:18:06.

impairments that we don't even think of at all.

:18:07.:18:10.

A neurological condition that means she's unable to walk

:18:11.:18:16.

Her husband, James, is also disabled.

:18:17.:18:21.

But as an amputee, his disability is obvious.

:18:22.:18:26.

For Lucy, high-profile sporting events like the Paralympics haven't

:18:27.:18:28.

There's already a view amongst able-bodied people that really

:18:29.:18:35.

people like me if we just tried a bit harder we

:18:36.:18:38.

James is the archetypal acceptable view of disability.

:18:39.:18:45.

You can see exactly what is wrong with him.

:18:46.:18:48.

If you are a very visibly disabled man and you can run about a bit.

:18:49.:18:51.

If you can kick a football pretty well, if you can run

:18:52.:18:54.

up a flight of stairs, the general perception tends to be

:18:55.:18:57.

So that couldn't be much more different to I think the problem

:18:58.:19:03.

with Lucy's disability is that it is invisible so people

:19:04.:19:05.

don't understand it and if they don't understand it

:19:06.:19:07.

they think they have reason to doubt it.

:19:08.:19:11.

As thousands of Paralympians head to Rio to show what they can

:19:12.:19:17.

do it's hoped real change will come when there's an understanding

:19:18.:19:20.

that there are some who find sport and life in general more difficult.

:19:21.:19:27.

With all the sport, here's Karthi Gnanasegaram

:19:28.:19:29.

England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have played the opening

:19:30.:19:34.

games of their qualification campaigns for the 2018 World Cup.

:19:35.:19:39.

Sam Allardyce took charge of England for the first time and admitted

:19:40.:19:42.

it was a "nerve wracking" end to their match with Slovakia.

:19:43.:19:45.

England won with a late injury time goal.

:19:46.:19:47.

With memories of a dismal summer still fresh in the minds of England

:19:48.:19:57.

fans, the hope was that this latest stop on their tour could

:19:58.:19:59.

Slovakia offered a chance to recover.

:20:00.:20:08.

They just weren't motivated, they didn't try. I want 100% effort this

:20:09.:20:16.

time. They've got to get their fans back onside. Looking forward to them

:20:17.:20:21.

to actually show us that they really care about wearing an England shirt,

:20:22.:20:24.

the same way that we care about wearing them.

:20:25.:20:27.

Sam Allardyce arrived with a promise to make things better.

:20:28.:20:29.

This would be a new era for England, if not a new team.

:20:30.:20:32.

Eight players remain from the defeat to Iceland including Harry Kane

:20:33.:20:35.

upfront, the side familiar, but not always fluid.

:20:36.:20:38.

Slovakia sat back, content to make England toil.

:20:39.:20:41.

Their hard work occasionally paid off with chances,

:20:42.:20:43.

although Raheem Sterling was unable to make this one count.

:20:44.:20:47.

The frustration grew, but Slovakia let it get out of hand

:20:48.:20:49.

when their captain, Martin Skrtel, did this to Kane's ankle.

:20:50.:20:53.

The game appeared to be heading for a stalemate, and then

:20:54.:21:00.

in the fifth minute of injury time, England under Allardyce had liftoff,

:21:01.:21:05.

Adam Lallana with his first goal for his country,

:21:06.:21:08.

with England's last kick of the game.

:21:09.:21:15.

Sam Allardyce will know from his first taste of the England dugout
