Theresa May comes under renewed
pressure to take a tougher line | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
with the EU over Brexit. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
On the eve of a crucial meeting
for the Prime Minister in Brussels, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
a group of leading Brexiteers,
want new guarantees before any | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
divorce bill is paid. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:24 | |
The risk is that we pay the money
from the day we leave and that | 0:00:24 | 0:00:30 | |
reduces our negotiating cloud. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
But is the Prime Minister prepared
to make such demands? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
We'll have the latest. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |

Good evening. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Theresa May is coming
under increasing pressure | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
to adopt a tougher line
during Brexit negotiations, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
as she prepares to travel
to Brussels tomorrow | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
for talks with the President
of the European Commission. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
An influential group
of Brexit supporters has | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
written an open letter,
urging the Prime Minister to refuse | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
to settle the UK's so-called divorce
bill unless Brussels | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
agrees to a series of new demands. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
Here's our Political
Correspondent, Alex Forsyth. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
They have met plenty of times
before, always appearing friendly, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
but there is a lot riding on their
get-together tomorrow. Where the EU | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
leaders can be persuaded to move
Brexit talks on later this month. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
Back home, some of her MPs have
upped the pressure. A handful of | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
Brexit backing Tories have written
to the Prime Minister, laying down | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
conditions they want Matt, including
a promise that the European Court of | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Justice will cease to have any
jurisdiction over the UK. For some, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
this goes to the heart of the Brexit
debate. The European Court of | 0:02:19 | 0:02:28 | |
Justice is there to rule on all
matters to do with the European | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Union. We will have left the
European Union and therefore the | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
simple point is that we should not
therefore have to look to the | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
European Court of Justice Clarke or
to have judgments made by them, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
bound directly back here into the
UK. When it comes to the European | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Court of Justice Theresa May has
signalled it will have a role during | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
the transition period but not after.
Some ardent Brexiteers fear there | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
could be compromised as the EU wants
it to keep overseeing citizens | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
rights. Today the Government
insisted European law would not hold | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
sway over British law and had a
warning for backbenchers. The | 0:03:03 | 0:03:09 | |
Supreme Court will decide what the
law of the country is in this | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
country, as voted on by Parliament.
That is the big thing that Theresa | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
May have achieved. There is a bigger
point here. The choice we face now | 0:03:16 | 0:03:28 | |
is not between this Brexit or that
Brexit, if we don't back Theresa May | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
we will have no Brexit. There are
conflicting views over several | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
aspects of the talks. The island of
Ireland will be whether UK meets the | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
EU. All agree there should be no
hard border. Today the Irish | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
government still was not convinced
as to how that could be achieved. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
The Irish government is not being
unreasonable for the asking | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
questions that need more credible
answers before we can allow the | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
process to move on to phase two.
Tonight there is no agreement in key | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
areas on the issues the EU said it
wanted progress before moving on to | 0:03:58 | 0:04:09 | |
talk trade. Tomorrow's meeting is a
crucial step in deciding whether | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
enough has been done. The outcome is
vital but far from certain. Alex | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Forsyth, BBC News, Westminster. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
The Government has been
defending its record | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
on promoting greater social
equality, after all four members | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
of the Social Mobility
Commission resigned. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Led by the former
Labour Cabinet minister, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Alan Milburn, they say
the Government isn't doing enough | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
to improve the life chances
of people in England | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
from poorer backgrounds. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
Downing Street says Mr Milburn
had already been told | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
he was going to be replaced
as head of the Commission. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Jonathan Blake has the details. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Your chances of getting a job,
finding a good school for your | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
children and being able to afford
somewhere decent to live. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Issues at the heart
of social mobility. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
From day one in power,
tackling inequality | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
was a personal priority
for Theresa May. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
The mission to make
Britain a country that | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
works for everyone means
more than fighting these injustices. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
If you're from an ordinary,
working-class family, life is much | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
harder than many people
in Westminster realise. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
But, for the former
Labour Cabinet minister, Alan | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
Milburn, who was until now
in charge of monitoring the | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Government's progress on social
mobility, not enough is being done. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
What is lacking here
is meaningful political | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
action to translate very
good words into deeds. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
In the end, what counts
in politics is not what you | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
talk about, it's what you do. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
And I'm afraid the divisions
in Britain are becoming wider. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
They're becoming wider
economically, socially | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
and geographically. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
Downing Street says it had
already told Mr Milburn it | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
planned to appoint a new chair
as his term in office had ended. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
So, is the former Labour minister's
very public resignation sour grapes | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
or political point scoring? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
Well, Alan Milburn
and I both care deeply | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
about social mobility
and equality of opportunity. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
He said that. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
And he said you wanted
to keep him on, is that true? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm not going to get into
the discussions we have inside the | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Government. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
He's done a fantastic job. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
His term had come to an end and I
think it was about getting some | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
fresh blood into the commission. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
The Education Secretary went on to
defend the Government's record. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
We're seeing standards
in our schools rise. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:14 | |
Critically, we're seeing
the attainment gap in | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
schools narrow. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
This is the difference
in outcomes between | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
disadvantaged children
and their better off peers. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
The Social Mobility
Commission's most recent | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
report described Britain
as a deeply divided nation. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Two thirds of the areas
where young people face the | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
brightest prospects
are now in London. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
While many coastal, rural,
and former industrial areas are | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
being left further behind. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
It singled out the Midlands as the
worst performing area in England. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Deprived areas registered some
of the highest support | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
for leaving the European Union. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
The Government is now facing
criticism that it is so | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
focused on the process of Brexit
that it is ignoring some of the | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
reasons that led
people to vote for it. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Jonathan Blake, BBC News. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
President Trump's National Security
Advisor says the potential | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
for war with North Korea
is increasing every day. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
General HR McMaster,
says America and its allies, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
are in a race to stop Pyongyang
achieving its nuclear | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
ambitions but armed conflict
isn't the only solution. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Let's speak to Laura Bicker,
who's in Washington. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
Laura, these are sobering words from
the general. He told the audience | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
here in Washington never other
options to deal with North Korea but | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
he said there was not much time
left. In another very serious | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
warning in the last few hours, the
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
has said that he thinks the threat
is so serious he will be earning the | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
bashers are urging the Pentagon to
take American dependents out of | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
South Korea. -- urging the Pentagon
for that this comes at a time when | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
the US believes North Korea is
getting closer to achieving its | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
nuclear ambitions after the rocket
launch earlier this week. These | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
warnings are not just aimed at the
regime of King John Un, they are | 0:07:59 | 0:08:06 | |
aimed at China for that they want
China to step up pressure on its | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
neighbour and stop crude oil
supplies to North Korea. China so | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
far has seemed unwilling to do so
put up with these serious warning | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
were Will Beijing take the threat
more seriously? Be in no mistake. If | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
Kim Jong Un does not change his
actions and the sanctions do not | 0:08:23 | 0:08:29 | |
work, the message that is coming out
of the Trump obliteration is they | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
will act. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Children are to get access to mental
health support in schools | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
and colleges in England. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:45 | |
£300 million of funding will be made
available over three years, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
in a joint initiative
between the Departments | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
of Health and Education. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
A waiting time of four weeks
for those who need specialist | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
support will be tested
in some areas. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:54 | |
Labour says the plans
don't go far enough. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Here's our Health Editor, Hugh Pym. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
George discovered the harsh reality
of young people's mental health | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
services. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
Very long waits in many areas. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
He struggled with anxiety and OCD
but was told he would have to | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
wait nine months for NHS care. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
That really hit me hard. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:17 | |
I thought, "Oh, my God,
I'm in this situation and I now | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
have to wait 40 weeks
to get help that I need." | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
What can happen in that time? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
It's quite scary. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
I didn't know what I'd do
to myself during that time. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
His GP recommended he went private
therapy and his family | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
could afford it but he knows many
others arn't so lucky and he is | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
campaigning for faster and more
effective treatment across the NHS. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
How do we encourage people
to speak out about it? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
That's what the Health Secretary,
Jeremy Hunt, says is the | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
aim of a new government plan. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:50 | |
Access to mental health
support will be provided | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
in schools in England
with trials in some areas, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
of four-week targets for treatment
to be delivered. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
If your child has a mental health
issue, we want to make | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
sure you get the help much, much
earlier than happens at the moment. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
And, if possible, we want to work
within the school system to prevent | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
that condition deteriorating. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
But Labour argues that children's
mental health services have been | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
underfunded for too long. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:18 | |
Services are really overstretched
and children are waiting | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
years for the vital
support that they need. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
So, this is a drop
in the ocean compared | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
to the cuts unfortunately that many
services have faced. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:31 | |
This is one teenager
who had to be sent | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
hundreds of miles from home for
treatment for an eating disorder. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
Her mother, Rachel, is angry
they were failed by local services. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
She says the stress
on the whole family | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
has been devastating. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
You keep going and you keep
going to do all you can | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
to aid their recovery. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
You travel to where
you've got to travel. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
It's difficult for them and it's
excruciating for the family | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
really left behind. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
The Government's plan,
bringing together schools and the | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
NHS, has been welcomed
by mental health charities. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
But they say it is only a start. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
It is not clear whether
sufficient funding has been | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
committed to train enough staff
and make the four-week treatment | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
target a reality for young people
who need care urgently. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
Hugh Pym, BBC News. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
Australia are in a commanding
position after day two of | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
the second Ashes Test in Adelaide. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
Rain ended play early,
with England on 29 for 1 in reply | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
to Australia's first innings total
of 442 for 8 declared. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
From Adelaide, Andy Swiss reports. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
For England, a demoralising day. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
For the Ashes,
a potentially defining one. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
And yet, the visitors
began it so brightly. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Third ball, Peter
Handscomb led before. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:52 | |
-- leg before. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
Stuart Broad quite enjoyed that. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
But England didn't
enjoy what followed. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Tim Payne and Shaun Marsh both given
out, both reprieved by the video | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
umpire with match-changing results. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
Payne went on to 50,
Marsh an outstanding hundred. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
He had seemed a strange
selection to many people, | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
not any more. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
When he did finally offer up
a chance, this moment pretty | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
much summed up England's day. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Alastair Cook and James Vince's
calamatous collision, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
a symbol of their struggles. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
Marsh simply piled on the misery. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
Australia declaring on 442-8. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
England, remember,
had put them into bat. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Now they had a mountain
to climb under floodlights | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
and the fiercest pressure,
their batsmen soon faltered. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
Mark Stoneman trapped
for just 18, Australia were | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
closing in. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
But so was the weather. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
The rain rescuing England,
only for now though. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
Tomorrow they'll have to produce
something very special. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
It's not impossible to score runs. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:48 | |
There's a long time
left in the game. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
So, it will be up to one or two
of our guys to go out and | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
make a big score, and not
just add 40 or 50. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
For England then, a frustrating
and deflating day. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
They now need to bat
at their very best | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
if they're to save this
match and realistically | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
save their Ashes hopes. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |

The year-long celebration of arts,
music and culture has | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
boosted local economies
and proved a huge success | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
for the current holder, Hull. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Well, we'll be taking a look
at all the cities in contention. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
And first tonight it's Coventry,
from where Colleen Harris reports. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:39 | |
This is a city that has
embraced its reputation | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
for peace and reconciliation. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Transformed by post-war immigration,
Coventry's which has been | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
shaped by its history. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:56 | |
-- culture has been shaped. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:01 | |
The cathedral symbolises
its resilience. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
What stands today in my
home city are the ruins | 0:14:04 | 0:14:09 | |
from a campaign of bombings
during the Blitz. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
The martyred city of Coventry. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
It was also the heart
of the British car industry. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Its decline turned it
into a ghost town. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
# town.# This town is comiing like a
ghost | 0:14:17 | 0:14:25 | |
The song became an anthem
for a generation, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
written by The Specials. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
The Coventry band captured racial
tensions of the early 80s | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
through their music. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:36 | |
Walking around in Coventry
at the time, it was horrendous. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
And you couldn't walk down
the street without being | 0:14:39 | 0:14:49 | |
So, when The Specials got together,
that was to get black and whites | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
united. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:54 | |
Coventry is hoping to breathe
new life into its rich multicultural | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
and industrial past. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
Its bid to win the city of culture
2021 puts young people | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
at the heart of its focus. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
There are so many exciting things
to see and do for the people just | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
for the people just don't know. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
We need to do a lot of work
as part of the city | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
of culture bid as to
what our city has to offer. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Helping to move the city forward
is Louis, a choreographer, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
taking his work from Coventry
to young people around the world. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
He represents a new
generation looking for hope | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
in a city trying to shake
off its post-war image. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:27 | |
It's actually crucial it wins. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:28 | |
This is like the biggest thing that
has ever happened in Coventry. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
It's bringing a lot of hope
and excitement to the city which it | 0:15:31 | 0:15:40 | |
doesn't tend to have -
there is always a lot of doubt. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
This is the one time
for the underdog to come up and rise | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
and show what we really have. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
Winning the city of culture can help
transform the city's chins. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 |
