:00:09. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:14. > :00:20.Seven months after the UK voted to leave Europe,

:00:21. > :00:23.the Prime Minister has laid out her plans for Britain's

:00:24. > :00:32.Not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. We do

:00:33. > :00:36.not seek to hold onto bits of membership as we leave. No. The

:00:37. > :00:41.United Kingdom is leaving the European Union. We will look in

:00:42. > :00:47.detail at what Theresa May said and have reaction from across politics

:00:48. > :00:51.and Strasbourg and Brussels as well. Simon Jacks is in Davos where the

:00:52. > :01:01.Chinese leader has made a heartfelt case for globalisation. Our Middle

:01:02. > :01:03.East editor is in Aleppo and we will play you the latest report from

:01:04. > :01:10.Jeremy Bowen on the destruction he has seen there. Vladimir Putin has

:01:11. > :01:14.made his first comments on unverified allegations that Russia

:01:15. > :01:29.has compromising information on Donald Trump.

:01:30. > :01:32.The UK is going to leave the EU's single market.

:01:33. > :01:35.And you can argue that had become politically inevitable.

:01:36. > :01:37.Many people supported Brexit because of concerns about immigration.

:01:38. > :01:45.Theresa May was never likely to ignore that.

:01:46. > :01:47.And the EU's most senior figures have consistently said

:01:48. > :01:50.no membership of the single market without freedom of movement.

:01:51. > :01:55.They were never likely to compromise.

:01:56. > :01:59.For all the talk of soft Brexit it was hard to see what that meant in

:02:00. > :02:01.practical terms. None the less, this speech

:02:02. > :02:03.is a moment a huge significance. Not just for its headline

:02:04. > :02:05.announcement - but other policy details too -

:02:06. > :02:19.and it tone. We do not seek to adopt a model

:02:20. > :02:25.already enjoyed by other countries. We do not seek to hold onto bits of

:02:26. > :02:29.membership as we leave. No. The United Kingdom is leaving the

:02:30. > :02:34.European Union and my job is to get the right deal for Britain as we do.

:02:35. > :02:40.I want to be clear. What I am proposing cannot mean membership of

:02:41. > :02:46.the single market. While controlled immigration can bring great

:02:47. > :02:48.benefits, filling skills shortages, delivering public services, making

:02:49. > :02:53.British businesses the world beaters they often are, when the numbers get

:02:54. > :02:58.too high, public support for the system falters. I can confirm today

:02:59. > :03:02.that the government will put the final deal that is agreed between

:03:03. > :03:08.the UK and the EU to a vote in both Houses of Parliament before it comes

:03:09. > :03:13.into force. I know there are some voices calling for a punitive deal

:03:14. > :03:17.that punishes Britain and discourages other countries from

:03:18. > :03:22.taking the same path. That would be an act of calamitous self harm for

:03:23. > :03:27.the countries of Europe and it would not be the act of a friend. Britain

:03:28. > :03:29.would not, indeed we could not accept such an approach.

:03:30. > :03:35.Let's get some reaction to the speech.

:03:36. > :03:44.Nigel Farage, one of the most vocal campaigners for Brexit.

:03:45. > :04:00.She has said leave the single market then at the same time says she wants

:04:01. > :04:04.to have access to the single market, I'm not quite sure how that's going

:04:05. > :04:08.to go down in Europe. I think we have to have a deal that ensures we

:04:09. > :04:11.have access to the market, we have British jobs dependent on that

:04:12. > :04:16.market, that's what we'll be pushing for. Whether it is specifically this

:04:17. > :04:18.form of single market I don't know. She seems to be wanting to have her

:04:19. > :04:20.cake and eat it. Leader of the Liberal Democrats -

:04:21. > :04:25.who are pro-European: "This is a theft of democracy,

:04:26. > :04:27.a presumption that the 51.9% of people who voted to leave meant

:04:28. > :04:30.the most extreme version Next here's foreign secretary

:04:31. > :04:50.Boris Johnson who supported Brexit. Why should they give us all of those

:04:51. > :04:53.things she suggested? As the Prime Minister said, we believe very

:04:54. > :04:58.strongly that this is in our mutual interest. We are not leaving Europe,

:04:59. > :05:02.we are disentangling ourselves from the treaties of the EU. We can

:05:03. > :05:07.remain powerfully committed to Europe with a new European

:05:08. > :05:10.partnership of the kind she described, whilst also going forward

:05:11. > :05:16.with an identity as global Britain. One person who did not answer

:05:17. > :05:17.questions was John Claude, he refused to take questions on that

:05:18. > :05:26.speech earlier. I spoke to the BBC correspondent Rob

:05:27. > :05:31.Watson for his analysis. Cutting through all that normal talk of soft

:05:32. > :05:35.Brexit, hard Brexit, if you really boil this down and you slip away

:05:36. > :05:39.some of the rhetoric, the warm rhetoric towards Europe, some of the

:05:40. > :05:45.more harsh rhetoric, it comes to this, Theresa May is essentially

:05:46. > :05:49.saying what Britain wants is all the bits it likes about Europe, so

:05:50. > :05:53.things like free trade, co-operation on Security and law enforcement, and

:05:54. > :05:57.it doesn't want the things it doesn't like, such as being part of

:05:58. > :06:01.a supranational political entity like the European Union and having

:06:02. > :06:05.free movement of people. So of course the question it really

:06:06. > :06:10.raises, the really obvious one is, what are the other EU 27 really

:06:11. > :06:15.going to make of this? Are they going to meet Britain halfway, some

:06:16. > :06:17.part along the way? And also, crucially, what on earth are the

:06:18. > :06:22.banks and international businesses based in Britain that make it the

:06:23. > :06:29.fifth richest country in the world, what are they going to make of this

:06:30. > :06:33.departure from the single market? Can you explain whether customs

:06:34. > :06:36.union fits into this? Now we know we are out of the single market,

:06:37. > :06:42.suddenly there's a lot of attention on that? Yes, to put it as simply as

:06:43. > :06:47.possible, if as those who are leading the league campaign say,

:06:48. > :06:51.that Britain is going to have this new local future, trading all over

:06:52. > :06:56.the world, striking new deals in Asia and elsewhere, then it would

:06:57. > :06:59.need a new arrangement with the European Union because currently if

:07:00. > :07:04.you are part of the EU customs union, all of those 28, current 28

:07:05. > :07:08.countries, they all have the same tariffs with the rest of the world

:07:09. > :07:12.and deals tween the EU members of the EU and other countries like

:07:13. > :07:18.India, for example, or the United States, or Canada, that is

:07:19. > :07:22.negotiated as an EU level. So what Theresa May is saying is that

:07:23. > :07:26.Britain, and again, this is part of her overall rhetoric, is that

:07:27. > :07:32.Britain would need something, guess what, uniquely British. Not in the

:07:33. > :07:33.single market, not in the customs union, but maybe something that sort

:07:34. > :07:40.of looks a bit like it. Some reaction from people inside the

:07:41. > :08:01.European Union. Article 50 has to pitch triggered by

:08:02. > :08:04.the UK before formal negotiations can begin.

:08:05. > :08:06.Damian Grammaticas is in Strasbourg where the European Parliament

:08:07. > :08:14.Here's more on the reaction inside the EU.

:08:15. > :08:24.The view here looking at this speed is that the first of all this has

:08:25. > :08:27.given a little bit more clarity, at not very much, from the EU side.

:08:28. > :08:31.What they say is that they understand that this is primarily a

:08:32. > :08:36.political speech that Theresa May has had to give to a UK audience to

:08:37. > :08:42.try to rally people behind the British government's view, plan, if

:08:43. > :08:46.you like, for Brexit. But here, interestingly, the reaction coming

:08:47. > :08:50.from the parliament chief negotiator who would be involved in some of the

:08:51. > :08:55.negotiations, he is said that Theresa May was selling an illusion

:08:56. > :08:59.that the UK could somehow leave the single market, leave the customs

:09:00. > :09:05.union and still be able to enjoy all the benefits. So, privileged access

:09:06. > :09:11.to trade, ability for British companies to have access to the

:09:12. > :09:14.single market barrier free. He said that would of course have to change

:09:15. > :09:20.because you wouldn't get such a good deal outside. Another senior MEP

:09:21. > :09:25.saying that Theresa May had oversold the benefits of what could be

:09:26. > :09:31.achieved in trade deals with distant countries, and she was also

:09:32. > :09:37.overselling the difficulties there would be in achieving a deal with

:09:38. > :09:40.the EU of this sort. I wonder what comments of the Prime Minister when

:09:41. > :09:46.she said we cannot have a punitive deal here is a disincentive to

:09:47. > :09:53.others countries to leave, has that gone down well? In a short word, no.

:09:54. > :09:56.Many people here that we've been speaking to have been saying they

:09:57. > :10:02.felt that the British Prime Minister came across, one said to me as

:10:03. > :10:06.arrogant, another said that this came across as quite hostile and

:10:07. > :10:10.wasn't the way to approach negotiations with 27 other

:10:11. > :10:16.countries. I think there was a general sort of agreement that this

:10:17. > :10:22.was perhaps' before the negotiation. One senior MEP said we understand

:10:23. > :10:26.she has to make these statements but we don't believe them, we don't

:10:27. > :10:30.think they are credible. The view here among the EU 27 is that if the

:10:31. > :10:34.UK were to walk away from negotiations and accept no deal it

:10:35. > :10:42.would be the UK that would be left far worse off. Interestingly as a

:10:43. > :10:44.sort of end points to that, all from what I understand, the man

:10:45. > :10:49.conducting negotiations for the EU whenever they begin, he has said in

:10:50. > :10:56.a private briefing here today to MEPs, he is not seeking to punish

:10:57. > :11:00.the UK. This, primarily, is an idea that is circulating in the UK

:11:01. > :11:04.amongst UK commentators and viewers of the process that the EU might

:11:05. > :11:11.seek to punish the UK. The chief negotiator two days telling MEPs he

:11:12. > :11:13.will not seeking to punish the UK but he will be very clear eyed and

:11:14. > :11:13.pragmatic. One more piece of news out

:11:14. > :11:16.of the European Union this evening. This man - Antonio Tajani -

:11:17. > :11:19.has been elected head He's Italian and is part

:11:20. > :11:22.of the centre-right Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker

:11:23. > :11:30.belong to the same group, which means they have the three

:11:31. > :11:33.biggest jobs in the EU. The European Parliament can

:11:34. > :11:37.block or amend EU laws, and will have the final say

:11:38. > :11:42.on whether to approve We'll have more on Theresa May's

:11:43. > :11:59.speech in OS business shortly. Plus I'll show you this report

:12:00. > :12:02.about a town in Ohio where Chinese investment seems

:12:03. > :12:11.to be creating jobs. The inquests into the deaths of 30

:12:12. > :12:15.British tourists at a Tunisian beach resort 18 months

:12:16. > :12:18.ago continued today. The court heard from a senior

:12:19. > :12:21.Foreign Office official, who defended advice given

:12:22. > :12:23.to travellers at the time. Our correspondent Richard

:12:24. > :12:38.Galpin has the latest. What we've heard today is that the

:12:39. > :12:41.Foreign Office decided not to increase its travel advisory, ie

:12:42. > :12:46.take it to the highest level, which would be advising British nationals

:12:47. > :12:50.against all travel to Tunisia, despite their having been the

:12:51. > :12:58.horrific attack in Tunisia in the capital in March 2015, in which 22

:12:59. > :13:02.mostly foreign tourists were killed. This came just three months before

:13:03. > :13:07.the attack which is the subject of this inquest. So there has been a

:13:08. > :13:09.lot of focus on that and whether the Foreign Office should indeed have

:13:10. > :13:21.changed its advice or not. This is Outside live

:13:22. > :13:27.from the BBC newsroom. The British prime minister,

:13:28. > :13:31.Theresa May, has ruled out membership of the EU single market

:13:32. > :13:33.when Britain leaves She said staying in would mean

:13:34. > :13:38.accepting the EU's rules without having any say

:13:39. > :13:42.in making them. An air strike by the Nigerian

:13:43. > :13:46.military has accidentally killed at least 50 civilians at a camp

:13:47. > :13:49.for displaced people Aid workers are among

:13:50. > :13:54.the casualties. The pilot apparently

:13:55. > :13:56.thought he was attacking The first ever video footage showing

:13:57. > :14:10.snow leopards and common leopards sharing the same habitat will be

:14:11. > :14:12.discussed at an international There are concerns that common

:14:13. > :14:16.leopards are moving to higher ground And you won't be surprised to hear

:14:17. > :14:23.that these pictures are very popular The huge alligator was caught

:14:24. > :14:30.on camera in Florida by local They were taken at a

:14:31. > :14:33.local nature reserve. The alligator has been

:14:34. > :14:43.nicknamed 'humpback'. The search for the missing Malaysian

:14:44. > :14:49.plane MH370 has been suspended. The plane was flying

:14:50. > :14:54.from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing This area outlined in red

:14:55. > :15:07.is the area teams have been trying to search -

:15:08. > :15:12.now they've stopped. They say there is no new information

:15:13. > :15:19.about where the wreckage might be. This is the Facebook

:15:20. > :15:21.page of Voices370 - it's an association for some

:15:22. > :15:25.of the families. They say that the search

:15:26. > :15:30.ought to expand. "an inescapable duty owed

:15:31. > :15:46.to the flying public". TRANSLATION: There has to be

:15:47. > :15:51.evidence, you need to show us bodies, even if the passengers all

:15:52. > :15:55.died. I really want the plane to be found. I want to know what happened

:15:56. > :15:58.to my mother, I want to know where she is. This decision has been a

:15:59. > :16:07.betrayal of the commitment they made to the families. They have reneged

:16:08. > :16:10.on a commitment they made to the public to pursue the answer is

:16:11. > :16:14.necessary to feel safe one more time when they are flying. The search has

:16:15. > :16:20.been going on for a long time and they haven't come up with nothing.

:16:21. > :16:24.It can't go on forever. I think everyone has really done a great job

:16:25. > :16:29.looking for the plane. The amount of money that must have been spent for

:16:30. > :16:34.the search must have been phenomenal. I respect the government

:16:35. > :16:43.and the Malaysians government, they did a lot of work.

:16:44. > :16:47.Let's look at the reaction to the speech by Theresa May in the

:16:48. > :16:48.business world. As you'd imagine, this was a major

:16:49. > :16:51.topic of discussion at Our business editor Simon Jack

:16:52. > :16:58.explained the reaction there. For months now businesses have been

:16:59. > :17:03.crying out for some clarity to help them plan what happens in the future

:17:04. > :17:09.and they got some today. No ifs, no buts, the UK is leaving the single

:17:10. > :17:12.market, clear enough. Talking to leaders here this is an assumption

:17:13. > :17:15.they'd come to all by themselves, they thought it was inevitable we

:17:16. > :17:20.would have to leave the single market because it would be

:17:21. > :17:24.incompatible with attempts to control migration from Europe into

:17:25. > :17:28.the UK. They feel like the confirmation was helpful but didn't

:17:29. > :17:31.really advanced their sum of knowledge. What really got ears

:17:32. > :17:36.twitching was the tone in the UK Prime Minister took. She said

:17:37. > :17:39.listen, don't mess with us, we are quite prepared to walk away if we

:17:40. > :17:49.don't get the deal we like. We may even retaliate by lowering taxes. To

:17:50. > :17:52.be clear, what walking away means, it means walking away from a trade

:17:53. > :17:56.deal and going towards World Trade Organisation rules, international

:17:57. > :18:01.rules, not preferential ones like the UK has for the EU at the moment.

:18:02. > :18:04.Many businesses, like the car industry and the agriculture

:18:05. > :18:08.industry, are worried the tariffs that would impose would be damaging

:18:09. > :18:14.to trade. A lot of people say this is a negotiating position and

:18:15. > :18:18.everybody hopes the nuclear option will not be triggered. Did we get

:18:19. > :18:24.clarity? We got some. Does everybody think leaving the single market is a

:18:25. > :18:28.good idea? Not everyone. Are we any closer to knowing what a final deal

:18:29. > :18:32.will look like after negotiation with 27 partners? I'm afraid not.

:18:33. > :18:37.The majority of big business is hoped that we would remain in the

:18:38. > :18:40.European Union. That has not happened. So what is the big

:18:41. > :18:45.business dream scenario intends of how this is organised? You are

:18:46. > :18:49.right, a lot of big businesses said this was not ideal but some are

:18:50. > :18:53.saying this is a political reality and it's time to roll up sleeves and

:18:54. > :18:56.get on with it. I hope we can get a favourable deal, it is in mutual

:18:57. > :19:01.interest to trade as freely as possible. In some industries we have

:19:02. > :19:06.a big surplus with the EU, in some we have a big deficit, is there

:19:07. > :19:10.likely to be a trade-off? Winners and losers between different

:19:11. > :19:14.industries? Yes. But I think those businesses are taking a pragmatic

:19:15. > :19:18.view saying, this is going to happen, we better get on with it.

:19:19. > :19:22.I'd like to mention what happened to the pound today. What the Prime

:19:23. > :19:26.Minister did is say, when we thrash out a deal we will give the UK

:19:27. > :19:30.Parliament a vote on whether to accept the deal. Traders in the

:19:31. > :19:33.pound thought that meant there is some last-ditch scenario in which

:19:34. > :19:36.the UK does not leave the EU, because whenever there has been an

:19:37. > :19:41.impediment thrown into the exit the pound has gone up. Other people

:19:42. > :19:46.saying this is just another example of market very badly misreading the

:19:47. > :19:50.political realities that are in front of them. Thank you Simon.

:19:51. > :19:52.Staying at Davos, Something quite remarkable happened today.

:19:53. > :19:55.Not only did the Chinese head of state attend but he made

:19:56. > :20:16.Certainly this is a strange state of affairs.

:20:17. > :20:21.Here's some of what President Xi Jinping said.

:20:22. > :20:28.TRANSLATION: The Chinese tend to say honey melons hang from bitter vines.

:20:29. > :20:34.Sweet dates grow on thistles and thorns. In a philosophical sense,

:20:35. > :20:37.nothing is perfect in the world. It's true that economic

:20:38. > :20:42.globalisation has created new problems. But this is no

:20:43. > :20:46.justification to write of globalisation altogether. Rather we

:20:47. > :20:49.should guide and adapt globalisation, cushion its negative

:20:50. > :20:54.impact and deliver its benefits to all nations. China's leader sounding

:20:55. > :20:56.very poetic. Let's talk to Samira

:20:57. > :21:05.Hussain in New York. Have the roles really reversed

:21:06. > :21:09.between US and China? Makes a good story but in reality is that what

:21:10. > :21:13.has happened? Certainly not the kind of language that you would expect to

:21:14. > :21:16.hear from the president of China, especially when compared to the kind

:21:17. > :21:21.of rhetoric we heard on the campaign trail from the President-elect

:21:22. > :21:23.Donald Trump. And unfortunately for those who believe in globalisation

:21:24. > :21:27.and lots of free trade it was not just rhetoric, those are still the

:21:28. > :21:31.same ideals that the President-elect has been talking about. And even

:21:32. > :21:36.those that are shared by some of the people that are going to make up his

:21:37. > :21:42.administration. Perhaps most pointedly is at Davos, one of the

:21:43. > :21:45.incoming White House advisers to the president has even said that, look,

:21:46. > :21:49.if China engages the United States with some sort of trade war,

:21:50. > :21:54.ultimately it's going to be China that loses out and not the United

:21:55. > :21:58.States, that the United States is in a much more powerful position. You

:21:59. > :22:01.can remember that Donald Trump has said that he wants to get really

:22:02. > :22:06.tough with China with regards to the currency manipulation and of course

:22:07. > :22:09.to some of the unfair trade practices, and has threatened to

:22:10. > :22:15.impose some pretty heavy tariffs against China. To be clear, Donald

:22:16. > :22:19.Trump is not arguing against capitalism, he is arguing against

:22:20. > :22:24.the current form it is taking on the international stage? What he is

:22:25. > :22:28.arguing, really, is unfair trade deals. He says a lot of trade deals

:22:29. > :22:33.have been negotiated that don't work in the favour of the American

:22:34. > :22:35.people, so the big example is the North American Free Trade Agreement

:22:36. > :22:40.which is a free trade agreement that was signed decades ago between

:22:41. > :22:43.Canada, the United States and Mexico. After the United States

:22:44. > :22:48.signed that agreement there was a big loss of manufacturing jobs here

:22:49. > :22:51.in the United States. Part of what the President-elect has really

:22:52. > :22:53.campaigned on was saying that he is going to bring back some of those

:22:54. > :23:00.coal jobs and those manufacturing jobs. And what he wants to do is to

:23:01. > :23:02.open up some of these free trade agreement by the North American Free

:23:03. > :23:07.Trade Agreement and renegotiate for something that is better for the

:23:08. > :23:09.United States. Thank you. We are very interested to see how this will

:23:10. > :23:12.pan out in the next few months. Those comments are aimed in part

:23:13. > :23:15.at Donald Trump who has talked extensively about the failures

:23:16. > :23:19.of Globalisation and free trade. He's been scathing about how

:23:20. > :23:32.they favour China over the US. Here's an interesting angle

:23:33. > :23:34.on the economic relationship This is a report from

:23:35. > :23:37.Laura Trevelyan who's been to a place called Moraine in Ohio

:23:38. > :23:53.to find out about Chinese If Donald Trump's America now. Like

:23:54. > :23:57.so many towns across the nation he won here with a pumice to bring back

:23:58. > :24:00.jobs. Somewhat surprisingly the factory down the road is run by a

:24:01. > :24:07.company with its headquarters in China. It has moved into a plant

:24:08. > :24:12.General Motors closed down making windshields where cars once rolled

:24:13. > :24:15.off the assembly line. On this Ojai factory floor Donald Trump's

:24:16. > :24:21.anti-globalisation campaign rhetoric meets the reality. This Chinese

:24:22. > :24:26.managed company is determined to become the biggest manufacturer of

:24:27. > :24:31.car windshields in the world. Our goal obviously becoming number one.

:24:32. > :24:35.And to be able to achieve our goal, obviously you have to combine all

:24:36. > :24:41.the resources, manpower. So I believe we have to have two feet,

:24:42. > :24:43.one in China, one in US. They are putting their money where their

:24:44. > :24:53.mouth is, investing millions of dollars on the plant. More than 2000

:24:54. > :24:56.jobs have been created locally. Scott used to work for General

:24:57. > :25:02.Motors and he's still grappling with the cultural differences. Got to

:25:03. > :25:06.find some common ground on what our goals are, our goals and our

:25:07. > :25:10.standards. A lot of different things you don't necessarily see here that

:25:11. > :25:15.you would in an established American company. The American dream has

:25:16. > :25:19.taken a hit at the local tavern where there is nostalgia for the GM

:25:20. > :25:25.days when business was brisk. Regulars say thanks to the company

:25:26. > :25:29.things are picking up. My son is working there, building the catwalks

:25:30. > :25:33.and stuff inside the price. Trump supporters around this bar and

:25:34. > :25:37.across the nation hope the next president will bring business back

:25:38. > :25:40.to their communities. They may be surprised that China has now created

:25:41. > :25:48.manufacturing jobs, but a pay cheque is better than none. I'll be back

:25:49. > :25:56.with you in a couple of minutes time. If you have any questions,
