:02:50. > :02:55.This was a case with profound implications. Who should decide the
:02:56. > :03:00.process for taking the UK out of the EU? The decision, taken by 11 of the
:03:01. > :03:06.most senior judges in the land, was delivered to the hushed courtroom.
:03:07. > :03:11.Today, by a majority of 8-3, the Supreme Court rules that the
:03:12. > :03:16.government cannot trigger Article 50 without an act of Parliament
:03:17. > :03:20.authorising it to do so. Article 50 begins the formal negotiations for
:03:21. > :03:27.leaving the EU, a process which the judges said would fundamentally
:03:28. > :03:30.change UK law. The referendum is of great political significance, but
:03:31. > :03:34.the act of Parliament which established it did not say what
:03:35. > :03:38.should happen as a result. So any change in the law to give effect to
:03:39. > :03:44.the referendum must be made in the only where permitted by the UK
:03:45. > :03:48.constitution, namely by an act of Parliament. The verdict was clear -
:03:49. > :03:52.the judgment spells out why the court had rejected the government's
:03:53. > :03:56.case. The government will comply with the judgment of the court and
:03:57. > :04:01.do all that is necessary to implement it. The woman who brought
:04:02. > :04:07.the case said the ruling reaffirmed that Parliament is sovereign. This
:04:08. > :04:12.ruling today means that MPs we have elected will rightfully have the
:04:13. > :04:16.opportunity to bring their invaluable experience and expertise
:04:17. > :04:22.to bear in helping the government select the best course in the
:04:23. > :04:26.forthcoming Brexit negotiations. Is this a blow to the government's
:04:27. > :04:29.Brexit timetable, Sir? But the government will be relieved that the
:04:30. > :04:33.court ruled that there is no legal requirement for it to consult the
:04:34. > :04:37.devolved nations, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. So the focus
:04:38. > :04:41.now switches to Parliament. MPs and peers will not try to block the
:04:42. > :04:44.Brexit process, but they could delay it. Opposition parties are already
:04:45. > :04:48.setting out the changes they will try to make to the coming
:04:49. > :04:52.legislation, changes which could affect the government's whole
:04:53. > :04:58.approach to the negotiations over Britain's departure from the EU. We
:04:59. > :05:01.are very clear. We will hold them to account to protect jobs. We will
:05:02. > :05:04.hold them to account to make sure British industry does have market
:05:05. > :05:10.access, and we will not allow ourselves to become some kind of
:05:11. > :05:14.offshore tax haven. That is not what people voted for. Unless the
:05:15. > :05:17.government concedes a new deal for the British people so that the
:05:18. > :05:20.British people have a say over the final arrangements between the UK
:05:21. > :05:28.and the EU, I will vote against article 50. The SNP say they will
:05:29. > :05:31.table 50 amendments. The Prime Minister set out last week a path
:05:32. > :05:35.towards the hardest of hard Brexits. I don't believe there is a majority
:05:36. > :05:37.for that in the House of Commons. I certainly don't believe there is a
:05:38. > :05:40.majority for that across the country, so this is an opportunity
:05:41. > :05:44.for the House of Commons to assert itself and to have a say not just on
:05:45. > :05:48.the narrow question, but on the broader terms of the negotiation as
:05:49. > :05:52.well. Downing Street said today's ruling will not affect the timetable
:05:53. > :05:56.for Theresa May to begin negotiating with other EU leaders. The
:05:57. > :06:00.government will introduce a bill in the Commons within days. This will
:06:01. > :06:04.be the most straightforward bill possible to give effect to the
:06:05. > :06:08.decision of the people and respect the Supreme Court's judgment. The
:06:09. > :06:12.purpose of this bill is simply to give the government the power to
:06:13. > :06:16.revoke Article 50 and begin the process of leaving the European
:06:17. > :06:20.Union. But the scene is set for some tough parliamentary clashes before
:06:21. > :06:22.the bigger battles with the rest of the EU can even begin. Carole
:06:23. > :06:25.Walker, BBC News, Westminster. Well, in a moment we'll talk
:06:26. > :06:27.to our assistant political editor Norman Smith -
:06:28. > :06:29.but first our legal How much of an impact could this
:06:30. > :06:45.ruling have on Brexit? Well, as you heard, this is a ruling
:06:46. > :06:48.which removes power from the government and gives power to
:06:49. > :06:53.Parliament. The government didn't want it this way, but they have got
:06:54. > :06:57.it this way. Now they have to introduce a bill to parliament that
:06:58. > :07:02.could be subject to a number of amendments. The real significance of
:07:03. > :07:06.today is that this ruling has really defined the limits of executive
:07:07. > :07:12.power, the power of ministers and government. And it has underscored
:07:13. > :07:16.the foundation of our unwritten constitution. We don't have a
:07:17. > :07:19.written constitution in this country, but we have one founding
:07:20. > :07:23.principle to our constitution, which is that Parliament is sovereign.
:07:24. > :07:28.Parliament creates the law and only Parliament has the power to change
:07:29. > :07:33.the law. And it was that that came through in the ruling of the eight
:07:34. > :07:38.Supreme Court justices who ruled against the government today. The
:07:39. > :07:40.government now has a much more difficult task ahead of it, and far
:07:41. > :07:49.less control over the process. Norman Smith is in Westminster. The
:07:50. > :07:53.government lost today. How confident is the Prime Minister going to be
:07:54. > :07:58.that they can still stick to the timetable, this date in March? It is
:07:59. > :08:03.a funny old paradox. You are right, the government was defeated, and yet
:08:04. > :08:08.frankly, ministers are oozing with confidence that they can get Article
:08:09. > :08:14.50 triggered and yes, by Mrs May's self-imposed deadline of March. The
:08:15. > :08:16.reason for that above all is because Parliamentary opposition in this
:08:17. > :08:22.place to triggering Article 50 is by and large crumbled. Tory rebels
:08:23. > :08:26.don't want a fight now. Peers in the House of Lords don't want to be seen
:08:27. > :08:29.to be defying the result of the referendum, and crucially, the
:08:30. > :08:34.Labour leader has said his party will not stand in the way of
:08:35. > :08:38.triggering article 50, even though some of his MPs will rebel against
:08:39. > :08:42.that. And on top of that, the court decided that the Scottish Parliament
:08:43. > :08:47.did not have a right to have a vote. So ministers are extremely
:08:48. > :08:51.confident, and the expectation is that a pared down bill will be
:08:52. > :08:54.introduced in the next few days. A word of warning, though. One thing
:08:55. > :08:58.we have learned from the whole Brexit process and successive prime
:08:59. > :09:04.ministers have learned in our relations with Europe - nothing ever
:09:05. > :09:09.goes smoothly. Parliamentary trapdoors can still open without
:09:10. > :09:14.warning. Norman Smith, thank you. Six months after the EU referendum,
:09:15. > :09:15.what the voters make of today's ruling? Our correspondent Danny
:09:16. > :09:22.Savage has been finding out. When it came to the decision on
:09:23. > :09:27.whether to leave the EU or stay, Leeds voted to remain, but only
:09:28. > :09:32.just. Months later, what do the 49.7% who voted to leave think now
:09:33. > :09:36.that the issue is going back to Parliament? Reverted to get out, so
:09:37. > :09:41.why can't we get our? It is simple. We voted for the Prime Minister come
:09:42. > :09:46.in, the Prime Minister comes in. We look to leave, and a store and
:09:47. > :09:51.stall. It's wrong. A lot of countries want to do business with
:09:52. > :10:00.England, Trump for starters. We don't like the guy, but that's not
:10:01. > :10:04.the point. Let's get back for us. Never mind other people, let's get
:10:05. > :10:07.this country going again. But remember, the majority in this city
:10:08. > :10:14.voted to stay and many haven't changed their mind. Shamal is from
:10:15. > :10:21.Iraq and thinks Europe should stick together. I don't know what is going
:10:22. > :10:26.to happen. Would you rather they stopped Brexit now and kept in
:10:27. > :10:32.Europe? Yeah. I was totally opposed to Brexit and I voted against
:10:33. > :10:36.leaving the EU. At a nearby butchers, Jim believes things would
:10:37. > :10:40.be different if we had known then what we know now. I know people who
:10:41. > :10:42.voted for Brexit who did not understand the circumstances and
:10:43. > :10:48.consequences of what we were voting for. I think before the referendum,
:10:49. > :10:51.we were not totally told what it implied with Brexit and what it
:10:52. > :10:57.means to stay in the EU or to leave. Do you wish Brexit would just go
:10:58. > :11:01.away? If I could turn the clock back 12 months and start all over again,
:11:02. > :11:05.I think the lead up to the referendum should be different.
:11:06. > :11:08.Broadly speaking, those who voted for Brexit just want the government
:11:09. > :11:13.to get on with it unhindered. Those who didn't are still against it, but
:11:14. > :11:18.see it as inevitable. Danny Savage, BBC News, Leeds.
:11:19. > :11:23.Let's get reaction from the rest of Europe with our correspondent Damian
:11:24. > :11:28.Grammaticas, who is in Brussels. What have they made of the ruling
:11:29. > :11:31.there? Here, what we have heard from the European Commission is that they
:11:32. > :11:35.will not comment on internal legal matters of a member state. They are
:11:36. > :11:43.waiting for that article 50 negotiation. But they did make clear
:11:44. > :11:48.in their view, once the 50 trigger happens, there will then first beer
:11:49. > :11:52.negotiation about separating. Only after that, negotiations on a trade
:11:53. > :11:56.deal. The EU commission said if you spit and want to remain on good
:11:57. > :11:59.terms, you have to settle things first and then your future
:12:00. > :12:04.relationship. One thing the ruling today has not clarified as whether
:12:05. > :12:08.once Article 50 is triggered, it can be revoked. Can you go back on that?
:12:09. > :12:12.The assumption in the ruling is that you trigger article 50 after two
:12:13. > :12:18.years you are out of the EU am a good deal, bad deal, whatever. There
:12:19. > :12:21.is a question that some are raising in the UK and was raised to date
:12:22. > :12:27.singer that can be revoked? Here, they would not be drawn on it, but
:12:28. > :12:29.expect more challenges through European courts, perhaps, on that

:15:03. > :15:07.President Trump's first on his agenda are the car manufacturers. He

:15:29. > :15:33.has also claimed credit for some of those jobs coming back subsequently,
:15:34. > :15:38.and those big manufacturers have announced some investments in the US
:15:39. > :15:41.as a result of Donald Trump's win. But there are still a lot of
:15:42. > :15:46.manufacturing going on outside. Ford employs something like 8000 people
:15:47. > :15:50.in Mexico and is building a new plant there. Donald Trump is

:18:10. > :18:13.also saying how there had been absolute no lockdown procedure at

:20:22. > :20:24.effective enforcement on our roads, and we have fewer

:20:31. > :20:31.the Sentencing Council for magistrates
:20:32. > :20:35.in England and Wales. These guidelines were last updated
:20:36. > :20:37.in 2008, and while there are significant changes
:20:38. > :20:40.for motorists caught speeding, they also cover a whole range
:20:41. > :20:44.of other offences That includes the non-payment
:20:45. > :20:49.of the TV licence fee. There'll be a new option
:20:50. > :20:51.for magistrates for cases judged to be at
:20:52. > :20:56.the lowest level of offending. The Sentencing Council
:20:57. > :20:59.says the changes should help magistrates sentence
:21:00. > :21:02.fairly and proportionately. They're very important
:21:03. > :21:04.to ensure consistency, so whether you're in Hackney
:21:05. > :21:06.or Halifax, you'll have the same
:21:07. > :21:08.approach, the same starting point, the same range being looked
:21:09. > :21:12.at for a similar offence. The changes for speeding
:21:13. > :21:14.and the other offences covered by the new guidelines will be
:21:15. > :21:18.brought in towards the end of April. A barrister defending
:21:19. > :21:23.the veteran entertainer Rolf Harris has told Southwark Crown Court
:21:24. > :21:27.that the jury in his first trial in 2014 got it wrong when they found
:21:28. > :21:31.him guilty of indecent assault. The 86-year-old,
:21:32. > :21:34.who's pleaded not guilty, is being tried on seven charges
:21:35. > :21:37.of indecent assault and one of sexual assault against
:21:38. > :21:42.seven victims between 1971 and 2004. Our correspondent Dan Johnson
:21:43. > :21:54.is at Southwark Crown Court. Yes, this was the day when Rolf
:21:55. > :21:58.Harris' defence team started putting the case on his behalf, but we were
:21:59. > :22:01.told we will not hear from Rolf Harris himself, his defence
:22:02. > :22:06.barrister saying that his memory isn't good enough to recount events
:22:07. > :22:11.30 or 40 years ago. He told the jury, if the defendant can say no
:22:12. > :22:17.more micro to Uihlein, I cannot remember being there, the evidential
:22:18. > :22:22.importance is quite weak. -- can say no more to you. They have been
:22:23. > :22:29.picking up hard evidence given when he was convicted previously, and a
:22:30. > :22:32.number of witnesses have been saying that they could not remember him
:22:33. > :22:36.being at a community centre in Portsmouth where he was convicted of
:22:37. > :22:39.assaulting an 18-year-old girl, questioning his previous convictions
:22:40. > :22:42.and whether the prosecution can rely on those convictions to show a
:22:43. > :22:46.pattern of defending in this trial as well. His defence barrister said,
:22:47. > :22:51.in short, we say the jury got it wrong in the first trial, we have
:22:52. > :22:56.enormous faith in the system, but it is not infallible. Well, Rolf
:22:57. > :23:00.Harris, appearing via video link, denies the seven counts of indecent
:23:01. > :23:02.assault. Dan, thank you.
:23:03. > :23:04.Thousands of migrants, including children on their own,
:23:05. > :23:06.are sleeping rough in the Serbian capital, Belgrade,
:23:07. > :23:09.Some of the children are as young as eight.
:23:10. > :23:11.The Serbian government says many are refusing shelter
:23:12. > :23:14.Our Europe correspondent Gavin Lee sent this report.
:23:15. > :23:18.This is how migrants are living in the Serbian capital, Belgrade -
:23:19. > :23:20.sleeping rough with temperatures dropping as low
:23:21. > :23:27.But the people here have a choice - the Serbian government says
:23:28. > :23:31.warmth and food is available in official shelters.
:23:32. > :23:33.But many fear deportation and keep trying instead
:23:34. > :23:39.to cross illegally into Hungary and on to other EU countries.
:23:40. > :23:45.6,000 migrants are housed in official centres across the country,
:23:46. > :23:48.waiting for a chance to be among 20 people a day
:23:49. > :23:54.On the Belgrade streets, eight-year-old Aziz is alone,
:23:55. > :23:59.his brother detained on the Croatian border.
:24:00. > :24:03.I mean, Aziz, you don't sound well - is he OK?
:24:04. > :24:06.Yeah, he's OK, he has a little problem of flu,
:24:07. > :24:10.he have a flu and chest problems, cough problems.
:24:11. > :24:12.He would at least be, like, safe and warm...
:24:13. > :24:16.Extremely ill, we alert aid workers to Aziz's case,
:24:17. > :24:25.We've seen, over the last few days, children that are eight, nine, ten.
:24:26. > :24:29.I was speaking to a 12-year-old Afghan boy yesterday
:24:30. > :24:32.in this warehouse that's been here for three months.
:24:33. > :24:34.He's waiting for a call from a smuggler,
:24:35. > :24:38.because he thinks that's his best option.
:24:39. > :24:42.With older migrants looking out for him, saying their chance
:24:43. > :24:44.of crossing the border is greater with him in tow,
:24:45. > :24:47.two days on, Aziz is still sleeping rough in the warehouse
:24:48. > :24:50.where there are dozens of other unaccompanied children.
:24:51. > :24:57.The head of BT Europe is to resign over an accounting scandal in Italy
:24:58. > :25:01.that will dent the parent company's profits.
:25:02. > :25:07.Well, with me is our business editor, Simon Jack.
:25:08. > :25:14.Shares in the company have fallen sharply, what is going on? Really
:25:15. > :25:17.sharply, down 20%, the worst day they have had since they were
:25:18. > :25:21.privatised, and that is bad news for the 1 million small shareholders who
:25:22. > :25:25.still own shares since then. This has been an Italian accounting
:25:26. > :25:30.scandal, they thought it was going to cost ?140 million. Now they think
:25:31. > :25:35.it is to cost ?500 million, and the head of BT Europe will be out of
:25:36. > :25:39.post, let me put it this way, by later this afternoon, I am told.
:25:40. > :25:43.Believe it or not, it is not the worst of their problems, they also
:25:44. > :25:45.said that their revenue from their biggest customers, those are public
:25:46. > :25:50.sector bodies, big international customers, which stomach will be
:25:51. > :25:54.much weaker than they thought, and that is what investors even more.
:25:55. > :25:59.What be blasting to me is that when a coming as big as BT says it's
:26:00. > :26:03.biggest customers have stopped spending money, it can be a bad sign
:26:04. > :26:08.for the economy. -- what people are saying to me is that when a company
:26:09. > :26:10.as big as BT. It is a bit of a canary in a coal mine.
:26:11. > :26:13.Bernie Ecclestone's 40-year reign as the head of Formula One is over,
:26:14. > :26:16.after it was sold to a company called Liberty Media
:26:17. > :26:20.Mr Ecclestone, who's 86, said he'd been forced out.
:26:21. > :26:22.Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss reports.
:26:23. > :26:24.He's the former used-car salesman who came to rule
:26:25. > :26:33.But for Bernie Ecclestone, it's finally the end of the road.
:26:34. > :26:36.Over 40 years, he turned Formula One from a niche interest
:26:37. > :26:39.into a multi-billion pound powerhouse.
:26:40. > :26:45.But now it has new owners - American company Liberty Media.
:26:46. > :26:47.They believe the sport can promote itself better,
:26:48. > :26:55.and so they put a new man, Chase Carey, in the driving seat.
:26:56. > :26:57.I would expect this is difficult for Bernie,
:26:58. > :26:59.it's a big change for him, he's run the sport,
:27:00. > :27:01.he's run the sport as a one-man...
:27:02. > :27:06.he's run it as a one-man dictator for a long time.
:27:07. > :27:10.I think the sport needs a fresh perspective.
:27:11. > :27:13.Tough and uncompromising, Ecclestone's business brain
:27:14. > :27:16.brought him famous friends and huge personal fortune,
:27:17. > :27:21.but it's also brought controversy.
:27:22. > :27:28.Off the track, he had to settle a bribery case in Germany,
:27:29. > :27:31.while on it his decisions have raised eyebrows - taking races
:27:32. > :27:33.to countries like Bahrain, with questionable human rights
:27:34. > :27:35.records, tinkering with the rules, and skewing prize money
:27:36. > :27:41.After so long in power, many feel a change in direction is overdue.
:27:42. > :27:44.I think the most important thing is getting back
:27:45. > :27:48.to the basics of outright racing, engaging with the fans,
:27:49. > :27:51.engaging with the public, and perhaps de-complicating the cars
:27:52. > :27:55.a little, and going back to man and machine
:27:56. > :28:00.Ecclestone will still have an advisory role, but a man
:28:01. > :28:06.so used to being the puppet master is no longer pulling the strings.
:28:07. > :28:09.At 86, his reign is over, and Formula One, indeed sport,
:28:10. > :28:13.will surely never see his like again.
:28:14. > :28:19.A signature on a cheque from Charles Dickens,
:28:20. > :28:21.a lock of hair from the Duke of Wellington,
:28:22. > :28:24.a postcard from the great train robbers
:28:25. > :28:32.They're just part of a huge collection of autographs,
:28:33. > :28:34.letters and historic documents that are going under the hammer today.
:28:35. > :28:38.Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.
:28:39. > :28:47.Which Royal do you think this is? Does this help? How about this
:28:48. > :28:55.writer? And does this help? This ruler is probably more recognisable,
:28:56. > :28:59.but what about this? In fact, they are Queen Victoria, Rudyard Kipling
:29:00. > :29:03.and Napoleon, but it is their signatures, not their faces, that
:29:04. > :29:09.often travel better through history. They are part of a unique single
:29:10. > :29:13.collection of 1000 signatures being auctioned today. There is the mark
:29:14. > :29:19.of everyone from mad King George III to the Duke of Wellington, and from
:29:20. > :29:24.Gordon of Khartoum to Ronnie Biggs, the great train robber. Some of the
:29:25. > :29:29.signatures are connected, like these three men, who all took part in the
:29:30. > :29:34.charge of the light Brigade in 1854. There is Lord Lucan, who gave the
:29:35. > :29:41.order, the Earl of Cardigan, who led the charge, and Private William
:29:42. > :29:46.Bird, one of the 600 who survived. ... Daisy, Daisy... #
:29:47. > :29:55.You might not recognise Francis Warwick, the mistress of the future
:29:56. > :30:01.Edward VII, who inspired the song. Others speak for themselves. That is
:30:02. > :30:05.one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind. It was the late
:30:06. > :30:09.John Evans, a post-war British magician who conjured up this
:30:10. > :30:15.collection, but in a world where signatures seem to be giving way to
:30:16. > :30:18.selfies, is the intimacy of handwritten names being lost?
:30:19. > :30:23.Collecting signatures in days gone by, and I think it will continue, is
:30:24. > :30:27.on a park with selfies today. What we do today with selfies is only the
:30:28. > :30:32.same as collecting a bit of excitement decades or centuries ago.
:30:33. > :30:39.Today's auction in Worthing attracted local and international
:30:40. > :30:46.buyers. Neil Armstrong's signature went for ?2500. Ronnie Biggs' 564.
:30:47. > :30:50.There is still money in a moniker, especially from those fashioned by
:30:51. > :30:52.the hand of history. Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Worthing.
:30:53. > :30:56.Time now for a look at the weather with Chris Fawkes, lots more fog
:30:57. > :31:04.around today. Yes, once again causing problems for
:31:05. > :31:09.the airport in south-east England, and in the Wembley area, rather
:31:10. > :31:13.foggy conditions, the sun just trying to peep through the low
:31:14. > :31:18.cloud. There is Wembley, out in the fog banks, sunshine across good part
:31:19. > :31:21.of England, cloudy and to the north-west, a beautiful to the
:31:22. > :31:24.morning in Staffordshire. Temperatures overnight dropped like
:31:25. > :31:38.a stone to leave icy conditions, a pewter. Still today. -- a beautiful
:31:39. > :31:43.view. A few fog patches linger on to the Vale of York and the Salisbury
:31:44. > :31:47.Plains, cloudy for Wales and north-west England. Damp weather
:31:48. > :31:51.getting into Scotland. Northern Ireland should stay dry, and for the
:31:52. > :31:57.north of Scotland, sunny spells, both having relatively mild weather,
:31:58. > :32:00.10-11d. Overnight and night, risk Atlantic winds over the north and
:32:01. > :32:06.west of the UK will keep the frost and fog at bay across the north-west
:32:07. > :32:11.of the country. Indeed, a mild night here, ten or 11 degrees in the
:32:12. > :32:14.mildest spots. Cold air in central and eastern England, and again we
:32:15. > :32:20.will see a sharp overnight frost forming. Temperatures probably as
:32:21. > :32:24.low as minus four degrees Celsius, so again some icy stretches on
:32:25. > :32:30.untreated roads, and the fog will be back again, particularly across
:32:31. > :32:33.south-east England and East Anglia. There is a risk of further
:32:34. > :32:38.disruption. It will clear through the morning as low cloud comes in
:32:39. > :32:42.from the near continent, bringing drizzle, even snow is possible,
:32:43. > :32:47.don't be surprised by a bit of wintriness. Sunshine into Wales and
:32:48. > :32:52.north-west England, cloudy for Northern Ireland and western
:32:53. > :32:55.Scotland, mild weather in the West, ten or 11 degrees. Through Thursday,
:32:56. > :32:59.we started to squeeze the isobars closer together across the UK, so
:33:00. > :33:04.although the weather should stay largely dry, the winds will be a
:33:05. > :33:09.major feature through Thursday, and quite a cloudy start to the day, but
:33:10. > :33:13.things should brighten up with sunny spells coming through. Temperatures,
:33:14. > :33:17.we are looking at highs of 5 degrees or so in London, but feeling
:33:18. > :33:21.significantly colder in the wind, feeling below freezing for some.
:33:22. > :33:25.Things will change towards the end of the week and on into the weekend.
:33:26. > :33:28.We will see the temperatures generally rising, and in London by
:33:29. > :33:30.Saturday temperatures up to 10 degrees.
:33:31. > :33:32.A reminder of our main story this lunchtime.
:33:33. > :33:34.The Government loses its appeal at the Supreme Court -
:33:35. > :33:40.now only Parliament has the power to trigger the Brexit process.
:33:41. > :33:44.That's all from the BBC News at One, so it's goodbye from me,
:33:45. > :33:47.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
