the right deal for Britain as we do. There's been mixed

reaction to the speech. The Lib Dem leader, Tim Farron,

:00:35.:00:36.

said the plan would be, This is a theft of democracy, a

:00:37.:00:47.

presumption that those people, the 51.9% of people who voted to leave

in June last year meant the most extreme version of Brexit available.

largely due to higher prices for fuel and food.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:37.:01:56.

The Prime Minister says the UK will leave the European single

:01:57.:01:58.

market when it quits the Eurpoean Union.

:01:59.:02:01.

In her long-awaited speech on the impact of Britain leaving

:02:02.:02:04.

the EU, Theresa May said instead she would seek a bold and ambitious

:02:05.:02:08.

new free trade agreement with Europe for a global Britain.

:02:09.:02:12.

Mrs May also confirmed that any final deal could be phased in,

:02:13.:02:16.

and that both houses of Parliament will get to vote on it.

:02:17.:02:19.

We'll be getting political and business reaction,

:02:20.:02:21.

and explaining what it will mean for the UK.

:02:22.:02:23.

But first, our political correspondent, Iain Watson,

:02:24.:02:25.

on Theresa May's vision of Brexit Britain.

:02:26.:02:31.

Good morning, what is the plan? You have had the slogan, Brexit means

:02:32.:02:39.

Brexit and today we saw some of the substance. Theresa May voted to

:02:40.:02:42.

remain in the European Union but she consulted leading Leave campaigners.

:02:43.:02:49.

What's the plan for Brexit? Boris Johnson and David Davies, over the

:02:50.:02:52.

most important speech and she has made since becoming Prime Minister.

:02:53.:02:57.

She didn't give a detailed plan for Brexit but she set out a direction

:02:58.:03:02.

of travel. Not partial membership of the European union, associate

:03:03.:03:08.

membership, or anything that leaves us half in, half out. I want to be

:03:09.:03:13.

clear, what I proposing cannot mean a membership of Single Market.

:03:14.:03:19.

Inside the European Single Market there are no trade barriers, no

:03:20.:03:22.

tariffs between member states but they have to abide by common rules,

:03:23.:03:26.

including the free movement of people as well as goods, making it

:03:27.:03:30.

difficult to limit immigration. The Prime Minister said she wanted a

:03:31.:03:35.

free-trade deal with the EU, but control of UK Borders is politically

:03:36.:03:40.

important. The message to the public before and during the referendum

:03:41.:03:44.

campaign was clear, Brexit must mean control of the number of people who

:03:45.:03:49.

come to Britain from Europe. She said Britain would have to come out

:03:50.:03:53.

of some aspects of the EU customs union, or possibly leave entirely.

:03:54.:03:59.

It imposes a charge on products coming from outside the EU. Full

:04:00.:04:02.

membership would limit the ability to do the kind of trade deals that

:04:03.:04:06.

the Prime Minister favours. It is true that full customs union

:04:07.:04:11.

membership prevents us from negotiating our own comprehensive

:04:12.:04:16.

trade deals. I want Britain to be able to negotiate its own trade

:04:17.:04:21.

agreements. But I also want tariff free trade with Europe and

:04:22.:04:25.

cross-border trade there to be as frictionless as possible. There were

:04:26.:04:30.

changes the government wants to make in the relationship with the EU, the

:04:31.:04:33.

Prime Minister hinted she wanted to give businesses time to adjust. It

:04:34.:04:38.

is in no one's interests for there to be a cliff edge to businesses or

:04:39.:04:42.

eight threat to stability as we change our existing relationship.

:04:43.:04:49.

The Prime Minister has given us more clarity today but she has also given

:04:50.:04:54.

more ammunition to her opponents to their attack, previously announcing

:04:55.:05:02.

statements such as a red, white and blue Brexit. Today, the battle lines

:05:03.:05:07.

of Brexit seem more firmly drawn. Through the speech there seem to be

:05:08.:05:11.

the implied threat that if all the optimism of a deal with the European

:05:12.:05:14.

Union didn't work, we would move into a low tax corporate taxation,

:05:15.:05:21.

bargain basement economy on the shores of Europe. I think the Prime

:05:22.:05:24.

Minister mustn't wave the white flag and give up on membership of the

:05:25.:05:29.

Single Market. If she cares about Britain's future, if she's going to

:05:30.:05:33.

fight our corner, she must be fighting for Britain to be in the

:05:34.:05:36.

Single Market even if we leave the European Union. The really difficult

:05:37.:05:40.

bit for the Prime Minister will be to persuade the other 27 member

:05:41.:05:43.

countries to listen to the UK's demands. She has made it clear that

:05:44.:05:48.

no deal would be better than a bad deal and MPs will get the final say.

:05:49.:05:53.

Iain Watson, BBC News. So the Prime Minister has

:05:54.:05:55.

confirmed that Britain will leave the single market,

:05:56.:05:57.

and wants a different relationship with what's known

:05:58.:05:59.

as the European customs union. Our Economics Correspondent,

:06:00.:06:01.

Andy Verity, is here to explain. The reason this is economically

:06:02.:06:09.

important is because we sell more goods and services

:06:10.:06:14.

to the 27 member countries of the European Union

:06:15.:06:16.

than to anywhere else. It's our biggest trading partner,

:06:17.:06:18.

not least because it's our closest trading partner, with nearly

:06:19.:06:21.

half our exports going If you're a British

:06:22.:06:23.

exporter, it's very obvious Whatever you make in the UK,

:06:24.:06:29.

you can sell anywhere in the EU, You can also invest capital

:06:30.:06:35.

anywhere, and any member country can invest in your country,

:06:36.:06:41.

member states promise not And in theory at least, you also

:06:42.:06:42.

have free movement of services. And, more controversially,

:06:43.:06:48.

free movement of people. The fear is if we leave

:06:49.:06:54.

the Single Market, our exporters won't be able to sell as much

:06:55.:06:57.

to our main trading partner, so the economy

:06:58.:07:00.

will grow more slowly. There'd be a similar effect

:07:01.:07:02.

if we left the customs union. Before the EU, countries used

:07:03.:07:04.

to try to stop cheap imports undercutting their own industries,

:07:05.:07:08.

especially with high value goods a form of tax to make

:07:09.:07:10.

the goods more expensive. Under the customs union,

:07:11.:07:16.

members of the EU agreed to scrap tariffs

:07:17.:07:20.

on each other's goods. But if we exit the

:07:21.:07:22.

customs union, those tariffs might come back,

:07:23.:07:24.

making for example, our car That's one reason the pound

:07:25.:07:27.

dropped so sharply here after the referendum,

:07:28.:07:34.

because of fears we'd export less, of its value and that's

:07:35.:07:36.

started to drive up prices. to this Heathrow -based haulier, the

:07:37.:07:52.

effect is obvious, because the pound is weak and you need more pounds to

:07:53.:07:56.

buy the same goods in dollars. Fuel had been falling in price but on

:07:57.:08:00.

today's inflation numbers it is up by 10%. The company can absorb the

:08:01.:08:05.

cost but not for ever. The cost of the fuel starts to bite and

:08:06.:08:09.

eventually will have to put in a fuel surcharge like everybody else

:08:10.:08:14.

in the industry. When we go past a certain level. We cannot afford to

:08:15.:08:18.

keep the costs in house. The effect of the weaker pound is most obvious

:08:19.:08:25.

up the supply chain where raw materials, mostly imported, have

:08:26.:08:28.

gone up by 15.8%. So far producers haven't passed this on with prices

:08:29.:08:35.

up 2.7%. Only now is that starting to feed through to shop prices, up

:08:36.:08:40.

1.6%. Sterling is happening an impact and we are seeing factory

:08:41.:08:44.

gate data pushing upmarket Lee and that is the fall in sterling since

:08:45.:08:47.

the Brexit vote that is driving that. The biggest impact has yet to

:08:48.:08:54.

come because contracts have to be renewed and that is when we think

:08:55.:08:58.

inflation moves up much further from the 1.6% we've seen today, above 3%.

:08:59.:09:03.

Food prices are lower than they were last year but goods prices generally

:09:04.:09:07.

had been falling for most of the last two years and they aren't any

:09:08.:09:13.

more. The return of inflation may be temporary, or if workers start

:09:14.:09:15.

demanding higher wages it could become permanent. The weak pound has

:09:16.:09:21.

prompted US companies who do a lot of business in the UK to bump up

:09:22.:09:25.

their prices. It may be making the same money or more in the UK in

:09:26.:09:29.

pounds but when that is exchanged for dollars it is much less, so the

:09:30.:09:35.

likes of Apple are raising UK prices to make up. An application costing

:09:36.:09:40.

79p will cost 99p, a 25% rise. Let's speak to our Assistant

:09:41.:09:44.

Political Editor, Norman Smith. It has been a long time coming but

:09:45.:09:54.

finally some fresh on the bone, the Prime Minister's vision of

:09:55.:09:59.

post-Brexit Britain. I think we are a bit further forward. We've learned

:10:00.:10:05.

a bit today but we absolutely have not been given Mrs May's blueprint

:10:06.:10:10.

for Brexit. She was not drawing back the curtains on her master plan for

:10:11.:10:15.

leaving the European Union. We learned, yes, we are leaving the

:10:16.:10:18.

Single Market, something that many would say has been inevitable since

:10:19.:10:23.

Mrs May signalled she wanted to end freedom of movement and the

:10:24.:10:27.

jurisdiction of the European Court. MPs are going to vote on the final

:10:28.:10:32.

deal and Mrs May is not interested in some sort of associate membership

:10:33.:10:38.

of the union. But on key areas such as immigration, Willie we are no

:10:39.:10:42.

further forward. She said she wanted to reduce the numbers but no clarity

:10:43.:10:46.

on the mechanism for doing so. On customs union, she said she wanted

:10:47.:10:51.

the benefits of being outside, to negotiate trade deals but she wanted

:10:52.:10:57.

the benefits of remaining inside to ensure tariff free trade. Similarly

:10:58.:11:04.

on a possible transitional deal, she said she wanted to avoid permanent

:11:05.:11:11.

Purgatory, but no clarity on the time we may have for the

:11:12.:11:16.

transitional period. The reason for this ambiguity in these key areas is

:11:17.:11:21.

because Mrs May is deeply wary of revealing her intentions to our EU

:11:22.:11:28.

partners ahead of the critical negotiations. She said she will not

:11:29.:11:31.

be pressed into revealing more than she has two, if she fears is going

:11:32.:11:37.

to damage the national interest. There are, I suggest, two other

:11:38.:11:43.

reasons we didn't learn more. One, there is still active debate and

:11:44.:11:46.

discussion and disagreement within government over critical areas like

:11:47.:11:51.

immigration and finally, Mrs May is instinctively a cautious politician

:11:52.:11:57.

who is reluctant to reveal more than she absolutely has to do. Norman

:11:58.:11:59.

Smith, thank you. Let's speak our correspondent

:12:00.:12:02.

in Brussels, Gavin Lee. Mrs May warned Europe's leaders that

:12:03.:12:12.

no deal for Britain was better than a bad deal. What we action so far?

:12:13.:12:18.

There are two take aways from it, the fault is a bit clearer. I spoke

:12:19.:12:23.

to different ministries where they thought that the Single Market may

:12:24.:12:26.

be something that Britain would like to remain in -- the fog is clearer.

:12:27.:12:31.

It allows the negotiating teams for the EU to converge on a position

:12:32.:12:35.

before the negotiations start proper when Article 50 is triggered. Early

:12:36.:12:41.

reaction around capitals within an hour of the speech. In Germany the

:12:42.:12:44.

Foreign Ministry said they welcomed the clarity of seven months, they

:12:45.:12:49.

can work out a good deal. From Latvia and the Czech Republic, they

:12:50.:12:52.

believe this is a good first opener from Theresa May. The former Swedish

:12:53.:12:58.

Foreign Minister saying that this wave mistake and this is not what he

:12:59.:13:03.

wanted to see and that for Sweden this will worsen relations between

:13:04.:13:08.

Britain and the EU. I don't think this is entirely flattering. No

:13:09.:13:11.

comment from the main institutions, the European Commission. We are told

:13:12.:13:13.

in Strasbourg that many commissioners were watching the

:13:14.:13:18.

speech a short while ago so I think through the afternoon we will see

:13:19.:13:28.

how the European union acts the -- reacts but we will find out more.

:13:29.:13:30.

So what's the reaction from business leaders,

:13:31.:13:32.

many of whom are in Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum?

:13:33.:13:34.

Our Business Editor, Simon Jack, is there.

:13:35.:13:36.

What has been the reaction so far? We got a very clear message, no ifs,

:13:37.:13:44.

no buts, no Single Market and as Norman was saying, most companies

:13:45.:13:49.

had conceded, it is and what they wanted but they have accepted that

:13:50.:13:53.

reality as being incompatible with ambitions to control migration.

:13:54.:13:57.

Interested to hear more detail on the transitional period, what

:13:58.:14:01.

happens two years from triggering Article 50. She said we won't have

:14:02.:14:06.

some never-ending standstill agreement, where we keep

:14:07.:14:11.

negotiating, we want the deal struck within two years with some

:14:12.:14:13.

implementation phases so everyone can get used to the idea. Businesses

:14:14.:14:18.

are worried that getting the deal in principle in two years is

:14:19.:14:22.

unrealistic and what we might do is fall off a cliff into this

:14:23.:14:26.

regulatory and trade no man's land and people have warned that would be

:14:27.:14:30.

damaging. Interesting that she repeated the threat that Philip

:14:31.:14:33.

Hammond raised, that if we don't get a good deal, if you play hardball,

:14:34.:14:39.

we can lower taxes and change the economic model, becoming a lower tax

:14:40.:14:42.

jurisdiction for multinational companies. Some people would say

:14:43.:14:47.

that this isn't what people voted for, but that is the aggressive

:14:48.:14:51.

tone. Businesses are worried that the timetable she has for completing

:14:52.:14:55.

the deals is a bit unrealistic. Thank you for joining us.

:14:56.:14:58.

What about the voters? Six months after the referendum, what do people

:14:59.:15:04.

make of Mrs May's speech? Our correspondent, Phil Mackie,

:15:05.:15:06.

has been to Birmingham, where people voted by a narrow

:15:07.:15:08.

margin to leave the European Union. When the country voted

:15:09.:15:11.

to leave the EU last year, it was a close vote nationally,

:15:12.:15:13.

52% in favour of Brexit, Half a million people went

:15:14.:15:16.

to the polls in this city and the winning margin for Leave

:15:17.:15:23.

was only just under 4,000 votes. So now people have an inkling

:15:24.:15:28.

of what Brexit means, If it's too high a price to remain

:15:29.:15:30.

in the single market in terms of the price we have

:15:31.:15:42.

to pay for immigration, I'm afraid to say that

:15:43.:15:44.

although I voted to stay in, it probably makes sense

:15:45.:15:52.

because going forward, Making the coffees are Maria from

:15:53.:15:54.

Slovakia and Veronica from Hungary. Both might be allowed to stay,

:15:55.:16:03.

but in the future for people wanting to work here,

:16:04.:16:06.

life could be more difficult. I would like to choose what country

:16:07.:16:08.

I want to live in or work in. So if I have to leave

:16:09.:16:14.

just because of Brexit, The salary is much better

:16:15.:16:17.

than Hungary, even for the same job. And for the English manager of this

:16:18.:16:26.

independent coffee shop, tougher border controls would mean

:16:27.:16:29.

a real headache when One out of ten CVs that

:16:30.:16:31.

come over the counter on a weekly basis are European,

:16:32.:16:36.

so if that was restricted, it would be difficult to recruit

:16:37.:16:39.

people, especially full-time members of staff that

:16:40.:16:41.

are hard to come by. For many in the second city,

:16:42.:16:46.

the prospect of Brexit is still filled with optimism,

:16:47.:16:48.

but in a city that's so evenly split, others are still left

:16:49.:16:51.

with a bitter taste. A Libyan man has won the right

:16:52.:16:54.

to sue the British government, including the foreign secretary

:16:55.:17:03.

at the time, Jack Straw, Abdul Hakim Belhaj, a former

:17:04.:17:05.

opponent of Colonel Gaddafi, was arrested in Bangkok,

:17:06.:17:11.

taken to Libya and questioned Here's our Home Affairs

:17:12.:17:13.

Correspondent, Tom Symonds. Colonel Gaddafi has been

:17:14.:17:23.

toppled, and it's chaos. Among the files strewn

:17:24.:17:30.

across the offices of his security service, a document comes to light

:17:31.:17:33.

suggesting that Britain played a part in the abduction and torture

:17:34.:17:36.

of a Libyan dissident. He's Abdul-Hakim Belhaj,

:17:37.:17:43.

once regarded as a terror suspect. Now he's been told by Britain's

:17:44.:17:47.

highest court that he can sue MI6 and the Government,

:17:48.:17:50.

which tried to halt the case. The Supreme Court unanimously

:17:51.:17:54.

dismisses the Government's appeals. Normally, the English courts can't

:17:55.:17:58.

consider cases involving what foreign governments

:17:59.:18:00.

have done abroad. But in this judgment,

:18:01.:18:05.

the Supreme Court has concluded that that doesn't prevent the courts

:18:06.:18:07.

here from considering British After all, it says, these

:18:08.:18:10.

are serious allegations of torture, regarded as abhorrent

:18:11.:18:16.

in English law. In this jail, Mr Belhaj

:18:17.:18:21.

says he was tortured after he and his pregnant wife

:18:22.:18:24.

were intercepted by US In the key document,

:18:25.:18:26.

an MI6 officer appears to write to a Gaddafi official welcoming

:18:27.:18:34.

the safe arrival of Mr Belhaj using his alternative name,

:18:35.:18:39.

but also describing him The letter says intelligence that

:18:40.:18:40.

led to his capture was British. A court will now be asked

:18:41.:18:49.

to consider whether the UK was involved, but Mr Belhaj

:18:50.:18:51.

and his supporters say he and his wife believe it doesn't

:18:52.:18:53.

need to go that far. For them, it's really

:18:54.:18:58.

just about justice. All they've really wanted

:18:59.:19:00.

is an apology, an acknowledgement from Britain that what happened

:19:01.:19:02.

to Mr Belhaj and Ms Bouchar, a pregnant woman at the time

:19:03.:19:05.

of her rendition, was wrong. Labour's Jack Straw

:19:06.:19:08.

was Foreign Secretary at the time and is now lead defendant

:19:09.:19:12.

crucial testimony from the Foreign Office

:20:32.:20:33.

and from the tourism company which sold them

in June 2015, just months after a major terrorist attack

in the capital? This video played in the courtroom

to the earlier atrocity in the capital.

:21:07.:21:13.

And the way rescue was able to systematically shoot dead so many

:21:14.:21:16.

tourists has shown how little security there was

:21:17.:21:21.

At the resort, even though the Tunisians had said security had been

:21:22.:21:29.

improved. Today a senior Foreign Office

:21:30.:21:33.

official admitted they had not been formally monitoring the security

:21:34.:21:39.

arrangements in Tunisia, but said their chocolate by stress the high

:21:40.:21:42.

It is also likely to face some tough questions. Richard Galpin, BBC News

:22:00.:22:00.

at the High Court in London. An 18-year-old man has been arrested

:22:01.:22:02.

on suspicion of the murder of a teenage girl whose body

:22:03.:22:05.

was found on a pathway in Rotherham. The girl has been named locally

:22:06.:22:08.

as 16-year-old Leonne Weeks. South Yorkshire Police say her body

:22:09.:22:11.

was found by members Our correspondent Danny

:22:12.:22:13.

Savage is in Rotherham. Apologies, we don't seem to have the

:22:14.:22:39.

sounds to Danny Savage at the moment. The rest of the news...

:22:40.:22:41.

The search for a Malaysian airliner that vanished three years ago

:22:42.:22:44.

with 239 people on board has been called off.

:22:45.:22:46.

An underwater search for debris from Flight MH370 has failed

:22:47.:22:48.

to discover a significant amount of wreckage.

:22:49.:22:52.

The families of those on board say the decision to stop

:22:53.:22:54.

The plane disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing

:22:55.:23:01.

One of the unions behind the Southern rail strikes has agreed to

:23:02.:23:12.

suspend three days of industrial action next week while fresh talks

:23:13.:23:18.

hosted by the TUC take place. Representatives from the drivers'

:23:19.:23:21.

union Aslef will meet for talks on Wednesday.

:23:22.:23:23.

The last man to walk on the Moon, the astronaut Gene Cernan,

:23:24.:23:26.

Captain Cernan was one of only three people to go to the Moon

:23:27.:23:38.

twice and as commander of Nasa's Apollo 17 mission.

:23:39.:23:40.

He was the last man to leave a footprint

:23:41.:23:42.

His death means only six of the 12 men who have walked

In four days' time Donald Trump takes over the White House,

:23:48.:24:00.

becoming the 45th president of the United States.

:24:01.:24:02.

It marks the end of Barack Obama's eight years in the Oval Office.

:24:03.:24:05.

All this week, our correspondent Jon Kay is travelling along Highway

:24:06.:24:07.

Today he's in Chicago, Illinois where Barack Obama

:24:08.:24:11.

began his political career, and where people have been

:24:12.:24:14.

reflecting on the legacy he leaves behind.

:24:15.:24:21.

Right through the middle of Donald Trump's America.

:24:22.:24:24.

To get a sense of the country he is taking over.

:24:25.:24:28.

But our next stop is not Trump territory.

:24:29.:24:31.

This is Barack Obama's favourite diner.

:24:32.:24:41.

He lived round the corner before he was president

:24:42.:24:43.

As a nurse, she likes the changes he made to health care,

:24:44.:24:55.

She worries Donald Trump will overturn the reforms,

:24:56.:25:03.

Many of them will be very sick, can't get medicine.

:25:04.:25:09.

Her son Daniel thought having a black president would mean

:25:10.:25:14.

But he fears Donald Trump's brand of populism is now

:25:15.:25:19.

I do feel my safety might be, you know, in danger.

:25:20.:25:25.

Because it is something that you can see from the energy that Trump built

:25:26.:25:36.

and the way that people express themselves who support Trump.

:25:37.:25:42.

A lot of them have certain beliefs in things like that that do not

:25:43.:25:46.

Some here do question the Obama legacy and think change is overdue.

:25:47.:25:57.

Aspiring businesswoman Erika hopes Donald Trump

:25:58.:25:58.

I believe that he's going to open up doors for small business owners,

:25:59.:26:10.

hopefully, that's trying to create big businesses.

:26:11.:26:12.

Maybe you will be as rich as Donald Trump in a few years?

:26:13.:26:23.

Elgin, where nearly half the population is Hispanic.

:26:24.:26:29.

Donald Trump's plans to build a giant wall along

:26:30.:26:31.

the Mexican border mean many here cannot support him.

:26:32.:26:36.

But some views here may surprise you.

:26:37.:26:41.

Rosa hopes a wall would help stop illegal immigrants.

:26:42.:26:45.

We have our own problems here in America, so...

:26:46.:26:49.

You know, to add more of them coming over here, I think...

:26:50.:26:53.

And in the choir, Margarita hopes Donald Trump will safeguard her

:26:54.:27:01.

I'm so excited and I'm so happy for him.

:27:02.:27:08.

And we should not be afraid of anything, not

:27:09.:27:11.

It seems this Hispanic community is split, just as America is split.

:27:12.:27:19.

And tomorrow Jon Kay continues his journey down Route 45.

:27:20.:27:32.

It's a month since Syrian government forces re-took rebel areas

:27:33.:27:41.

of the country's second city, Aleppo.

:27:42.:27:43.

Now new peace talks are due to begin next week between the Syrian

:27:44.:27:46.

government and some of the rebel groups who've been fighting

:27:47.:27:48.

against President Assad's regime for the last six years.

:27:49.:27:52.

Well we can talk now to our Middle East editor,

:27:53.:27:54.

Describe what life is like they're now, Jeremy? In the eastern sections

:27:55.:28:08.

of the city that were captured by the regime, life is really very

:28:09.:28:13.

hard. No running water, no mains power and a massive amount of

:28:14.:28:17.

devastation. What you see behind me is a tiny fraction of what has

:28:18.:28:22.

happened in this city. You can drive a couple of miles in one direction

:28:23.:28:26.

of East Aleppo and everything is destroyed, a couple of miles in the

:28:27.:28:29.

other direction and everything is destroyed. It is really that bad. I

:28:30.:28:34.

have been to lots of war is over the years and the only place I have seen

:28:35.:28:39.

that rivals this in terms of sheer destruction is Grozny in Chechnya in

:28:40.:28:48.

the former Soviet Union in the mid-90s when the Russian army

:28:49.:28:49.

absolutely hammered it. East Aleppo was absolutely

:28:50.:28:52.

pulverised. Jeremy Bowen with the latest from Aleppo.

:28:53.:28:55.

An awful lot of cloud. If you were with those yesterday we were looking

:28:56.:29:08.

at this sort of satellite picture. There are variations on the scene. I

:29:09.:29:13.

want to fly you towards the thick clouds and old weather fronts, if

:29:14.:29:16.

you have spent the morning underneath it like in Bridlington,

:29:17.:29:21.

Stafford and a number of other places, pretty miserable. Pieces of

:29:22.:29:24.

rain and drizzle. Turning towards East Anglia and the south-east,

:29:25.:29:33.

recent clouds, that becomes what cloud? The Weather Watchers are

:29:34.:29:37.

talking the talk for as admirably. If you are beginning to get a bit

:29:38.:29:41.

envious of that south-eastern quarter with all the sunshine if you

:29:42.:29:46.

have not seen any so far today and are not likely to see any, it comes

:29:47.:29:50.

at a price. Three degrees, some even lower than that, with the mild

:29:51.:29:54.

breezes over the eastern side of Scotland, 13 degrees.

:29:55.:29:59.

As soon as the sun is done, the temperatures will fall away again in

:30:00.:30:02.

the south-eastern quarter. With the breeze and more cloud across

:30:03.:30:06.

northern and western parts it keeps the temperatures up. The towns and

:30:07.:30:11.

cities will be around about zero, 1 degrees or so. In the countryside

:30:12.:30:16.

across the south-east and night, -4-macro or five.

:30:17.:30:20.

There is something going on here. The last significant influence for

:30:21.:30:23.

the south-eastern quarter was tapping into a relatively cold

:30:24.:30:27.

continent. Those are the daytime maximum is yet again across the

:30:28.:30:30.

heart of the continent. The reason for the connection

:30:31.:30:34.

between the tumour grows a high without getting too. ??Nospace 'S

:30:35.:30:41.

Army, there is that flow, so as was the case again,, it will be dry,

:30:42.:30:48.

bright and frosty again. Breezy, wetting cloudy across the

:30:49.:30:52.

North West of Scotland. The old fronts might have never voted for

:30:53.:30:56.

rain across the Midlands and Wales. Again we have a different she Asian

:30:57.:31:01.

by day and night and the temperatures between the rest of the

:31:02.:31:04.

country on the south-eastern quarter. We begin to smooth that I

:31:05.:31:09.

somewhat into Thursday, we lose some of the flow from the continent,

:31:10.:31:14.

still a lot of cloud. Temperature is just beginning to even up a touch,

:31:15.:31:19.

seven or 8 degrees pretty much covers it. Still a lot of cloud

:31:20.:31:24.

towards the weekend, not much breeze for many of us but temperatures

:31:25.:31:29.

beginning to settle in the middle of that wide disparity, around about

:31:30.:31:31.

seven will cover it. A reminder of our main

:31:32.:31:34.

story this lunchtime... The Prime Minister says the UK

:31:35.:31:42.

cannot remain a member of the single market after it has left the EU.

:31:43.:31:47.

The United Kingdom is leaving the European Union, and my job is to get

:31:48.:31:52.

the right deal for Britain as we do. Mixed reaction to the speech. Labour

:31:53.:31:57.

leader Jeremy Corbyn has called on the premised to be clearer about her

:31:58.:32:01.

long-term objectives on the UK's withdrawal from the EU and say she

:32:02.:32:04.

wants to have her cake and eat it when it comes to the single market.

:32:05.:32:08.

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said the plan would be bad for Britain.

:32:09.:32:16.

This is a festive democracy, a presumption that the 51.9% of people

:32:17.:32:20.

who voted to leave in June last year meant the most extreme version of

:32:21.:32:24.

Brexit possible. More on the BBC News Channel, but

:32:25.:32:28.

that is all from us. Goodbye from me, now the

:32:29.:32:29.
