0:00:15 > 0:00:17The Cabinet is more united than the Brexiteers think,

0:00:27 > 0:00:30and we want to make sure we can do trade deals outside

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Good evening.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The Home Secretary has played down the government's divisions over
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Brexit at the start of a crucial week in the negotiations.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Amber Rudd said she had a "surprise message" for Conservative critics
0:01:22 > 0:01:25of the prime minister - that the cabinet was "more
0:01:25 > 0:01:28united than they thought".
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Tomorrow the European Union's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32will be in London for talks.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And the cabinet's Brexit committee will meet later this week,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37seeking an agreement on the way forward.
0:01:37 > 0:01:45Our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, reports.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52Putting the UK on the world map. Last week, the Prime Minister was
0:01:52 > 0:01:55making friends in China, signing billions of pounds of business
0:01:55 > 0:02:00deals, but this week it is her own Cabinet she needs to win over amid
0:02:00 > 0:02:04claims of disunity and that the type of Brexit they want.I have a
0:02:04 > 0:02:10surprise for the Brexiteers. The committee that meets is more united
0:02:10 > 0:02:15than they think. We meet in the committee, we meet privately for
0:02:15 > 0:02:20discussions. I think we will arrive at something which suits us all.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Exactly how we trade with the EU after Brexit is the source of
0:02:25 > 0:02:29division in the Tories. Someone complete this entanglement from
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Brussels, others hope to stay as close to the EU as possible. The
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Home Secretary believes the government's priorities are clear.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We want frictionless trade at the border, we want to make sure there
0:02:40 > 0:02:45is no border on the island of Ireland and we want to do trade
0:02:45 > 0:02:49deals outside of the European Union. But it is clear to all in the
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Conservative Party had difficult it will be to get everyone on site.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Different people take different views, it is not just in the
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Conservative Party or the Labour Party, it is across the country. We
0:03:01 > 0:03:07need a team effort here.So far the Prime Minister has prevented the
0:03:07 > 0:03:10decades-old split in the Conservative Party over Europe from
0:03:10 > 0:03:14spilling out into something more serious, something which could spell
0:03:14 > 0:03:19a crisis for her government. But with crucial ministerial meetings
0:03:19 > 0:03:24later this week to pin down and agreed situation on our future
0:03:24 > 0:03:29relationship with the EU, Theresa May will have to pick apart and
0:03:29 > 0:03:32whichever she chooses she risks making a large swathe of her party
0:03:32 > 0:03:37and happy. But it is not just a battle at home. Winning in Brussels
0:03:37 > 0:03:41is key as well and with more negotiations with the EU this week,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44the next few days could be pivotal for the Prime Minister.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45for the Prime Minister.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48MPs have warned that cuts to the Royal Marines
0:03:48 > 0:03:50would significantly weaken Britain's defences.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53The government, which is reviewing defence spending, is said to be
0:03:53 > 0:03:55considering axing 2,000 Marines and the Royal Navy's two
0:03:55 > 0:03:58amphibious assault ships.
0:03:58 > 0:04:05Daniela Relph reports.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09It is a warning to government over the future of the Royal Marines.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13They are amongst Britain's elite fighting forces and provide up to
0:04:13 > 0:04:19half the personnel for the UK special forces. The Defence Select
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Committee report says further cuts to the Marines would damage their
0:04:22 > 0:04:27ability to be a high readiness unit and warns plans to end the use of
0:04:27 > 0:04:32HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark, ships from which beach assaults are made,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37would be militarily illiterate at this time. The committee praises the
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson for taking control of the defence
0:04:41 > 0:04:45review. He is under pressure to make cuts against the strong funding
0:04:45 > 0:04:50cases being made by other government departments. But he also faces
0:04:50 > 0:04:55arguments from military chiefs that defence must be a priority.Since
0:04:55 > 0:05:002010, our military has been cut by a third of its capability. If this new
0:05:00 > 0:05:05round of cuts come, it would have been cut by half. Can you imagine if
0:05:05 > 0:05:11we had half the number of hospitals? Spending on defence has fluctuated,
0:05:11 > 0:05:16rising when British forces are involved in a live conflict. Since
0:05:16 > 0:05:192010 they show a consistent decrease, reinforced by austerity
0:05:19 > 0:05:25measures. Defence is now more conflict and sophisticated than
0:05:25 > 0:05:31before. The head of the Army warns of Russian aggressive military and
0:05:31 > 0:05:36says our capability would struggle to match. But as well as traditional
0:05:36 > 0:05:39battles there is now a technological fight that also needs money and
0:05:39 > 0:05:44resources.In the Cabinet Office there is a suspicion that defence
0:05:44 > 0:05:50has not delivered the savings they promise to in 2015 and they have to
0:05:50 > 0:05:53put defence up against the war now to make them deliver the savings
0:05:53 > 0:05:58they promised.The Ministry of Defence say the Royal Marines play a
0:05:58 > 0:06:04vital role in protecting the UK, but its budget is stretched and in the
0:06:04 > 0:06:08face of powerful arguments being made by other government
0:06:08 > 0:06:12departments, defence is trying to ensure its case for increased
0:06:12 > 0:06:15funding is heard. Daniela Ralph, BBC News, at the MoD.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Sinn Fein has confirmed that one of its Stormont politicians
0:06:51 > 0:06:54who speaks for the party on policing matters removed a wheel clamp
0:06:54 > 0:06:58from his car after it was illegally parked in Belfast.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Video footage of Gerry Kelly taking the clamp off has been
0:07:02 > 0:07:06posted on social media, as John Campbell reports.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Gerry Kelly represents North Belfast in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12He's a former junior minister and speaks for his party
0:07:12 > 0:07:15on policing matters.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18On Friday morning, he parked outside his gym in what is clearly
0:07:18 > 0:07:21marked as a restricted area.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26What happened next was captured by eyewitnesses.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Gerry Kelly's car's clamped.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Gerry Kelly can be seen on the ground,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32removing the clamp from his car,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34untangling the chains from around the front wheel.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38On the ground beside him are a pair of what appears to be bolt cutters.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Once the clamp is free, Mr Kelly took it to the back
0:07:41 > 0:07:45of his car and propped it against the wall.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Sinn Fein said Mr Kelly then drove off to attend a meeting.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52They added that the issue is now in the hands of his solicitor
0:07:52 > 0:07:57and that he would be making no further comment at this time.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's not clear if the other cars parked next to Mr Kelly
0:08:00 > 0:08:02were also clamped.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Before his political role,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Gerry Kelly was a senior member of the IRA.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Five years ago, he was at the centre of another controversy,
0:08:11 > 0:08:16when he was carried on the bonnet of a police Land Rover
0:08:16 > 0:08:20during an incident in his constituency.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Both he and the police driver were warned about their conduct.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Today, his political opponents say he must explain his latest actions.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30When people are elected to the Assembly, we sign a pledge
0:08:30 > 0:08:33of office to comply with a code of conduct
0:08:33 > 0:08:35that no-one should be above the law.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So that's why we need these facts to be established
0:08:38 > 0:08:39as quickly as possible.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42The police say they are investigating a report of
0:08:42 > 0:08:48criminal damage to a wheel clamp.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08North and South Korea - two nations which remain
0:09:08 > 0:09:12technically at war - put on an unprecedented show
0:09:12 > 0:09:14of sporting collaboration when they fielded a joint women's
0:09:14 > 0:09:16ice hockey team.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It played an international friendly against Sweden ahead
0:09:18 > 0:09:20of the Winter Olympics, which start in South
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Korea on Friday.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Our correspondent Laura Bicker was there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Fierce and determined, the Korean players head
0:09:28 > 0:09:31onto the rink to prove they are not just pawns in a political drama
0:09:31 > 0:09:34or an experiment in sports diplomacy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38They fight hard against high-ranking Sweden.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Willed on by a crowd eager to witness a piece of history
0:09:43 > 0:09:47and waving the flag of a unified Korea.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51TRANSLATION: I was so touched, I feel so good because I felt
0:09:51 > 0:09:55the passion of the players, and it felt like we were one together.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But this team's formation has been controversial.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02The South Korean hockey coach has had to tell players she has worked
0:10:02 > 0:10:04with for years that they have lost their spot to make

0:10:09 > 0:10:12We are not allowed to ask the North Koreans any questions
0:10:12 > 0:10:16at the press conference, but the South Korean coach
0:10:16 > 0:10:21was frank when I asked her about the challenges.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Adding players that having been with us
0:10:24 > 0:10:27for the last four years,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29understanding our systems and understanding how our team
0:10:29 > 0:10:32plays, it is difficult.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34North Korean is different different to South Korean, the language,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37so for our team meetings it is going through to English
0:10:37 > 0:10:39from South Korean to North Korean, so the meetings take
0:10:39 > 0:10:41three times as long.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44The event feels like a celebration, but playing as one team
0:10:44 > 0:10:47under one flag has not been welcomed by the younger generation
0:10:47 > 0:10:49in South Korea.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53To them, unifying the two countries is a very distant goal.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55The North Korean players will not stay with their team-mates
0:10:55 > 0:10:57at the athletes' village.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59They will be kept in separate accommodation
0:10:59 > 0:11:02and watched over by minders.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05As the Olympics draw ever closer, language is not the only

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Good evening.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25England have started the defence of their Six Nations title
0:11:25 > 0:11:28with a confident and comfortable win over Italy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It was an entertaining performance from Eddie Jones' side as they ran
0:11:31 > 0:11:33away with a 46 points to 15 victory in Rome.
0:11:33 > 0:11:41Patrick Gearey watched the action.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48The faces, the voices changed, the results don't. When at home or in
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Rome England have always beating Italy. Their philosophy demands that
0:11:54 > 0:12:00this team forget that and the fact they have only lost once in three
0:12:00 > 0:12:06years and they must be fully on the next pass. The first try. With the
0:12:06 > 0:12:09next World Cup 18 months away England have been trying to
0:12:09 > 0:12:13establish a cruel streak and with the ruthless instinct of the Hunter,
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Watson was over again five minutes later. But Italy were not wounded
0:12:18 > 0:12:22prey, under constant pressure they found an escape with the getaway
0:12:22 > 0:12:26runner. England stayed further down the road, Owen Farrell scored before
0:12:26 > 0:12:30the break and then a first international try for Sam Simmonds,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35in the team because of injuries. But Wales, who play England nets, will
0:12:35 > 0:12:41watch this Italian youth a few times this week, proof that there is space
0:12:41 > 0:12:46to be exploited. England will have learnt much themselves, like not to
0:12:46 > 0:12:51challenge Sam Simmonds to raise any time. His second try, his team with
0:12:51 > 0:13:04seven. 46-15 reads more harshly than perhaps Italy deserved, but history
0:13:04 > 0:13:05has repeated emphatically.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07has repeated emphatically.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Great Britain have been beaten by Spain in their Davis Cup tie.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12World number 114, Cameron Norrie, couldn't quite repeat his five set
0:13:12 > 0:13:15match winning effort from Friday and lost to Albert Ramos Vinolas.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Spain win the tie 3-1 while Britian now face a play-off
0:13:17 > 0:13:20to stay in the World Group.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Joe Lynskey reports.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29The Davis Cup is where tennis turns tribal.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34It requires a special kind of resilience, but this weekend,
0:13:34 > 0:13:40new British talent has emerged.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Before Friday he had never played beyond three sets. Now he was
0:13:44 > 0:13:48keeping this game alive.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The Briton recovered from two breaks down to force a first set tie-break.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The problem was he faced a player ranked almost
0:13:53 > 0:13:54a hundred places higher.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Spain's Albert Ramos- Vinolas can finish the important
0:13:57 > 0:13:59points, but Norrie's fightback inspired a greater revival.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03In the second set, he did not just respond, he ran away with it.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08This was becoming a match to define Davis Cup drama,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and Norrie was summoning barely believable strokes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12He has got it!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16How on earth did he win that point?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It forced the match to a third set tie-break,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21another pressure situation, but these are the moments
0:14:21 > 0:14:23when experience counts.
0:14:23 > 0:14:31Ramos-Vinolas wins his second tie-break of the match.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36This is the weekend Britain's number three pushed the well's best, but
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Spain's strength and depth can match any nation.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Britain will not live the Davis Cup this year,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but this tie has been a story of the emergence of Norrie.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49In the day's early kick off Crystal Palace and Newcastle drew 1-1.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Mohamed Diame had given Newcastle the lead but Crystal Palace
0:14:52 > 0:14:55equalised to claim a point which moves them up to 14th place
0:14:55 > 0:15:00and three points clear of the relegation zone.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03There are just a few minutes left in the game between third placed,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Liverpool and Tottenham at Anfield.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Mo Salah gave Liverpool the lead in the third minute,
0:15:07 > 0:15:13his 20th goal this season.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16But Spurs equalised through a fantastic strike from Victor
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Wanyama. In the last few minutes Spurs have missed a penalty while
0:15:20 > 0:15:26most Allah has added a second goal in the 91st minute. It is 2-1 to
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Liverpool with a few seconds remaining.
