:02:12. > :02:16.from where our Europe Correspondent, Chris Morris, sent this report.
:02:17. > :02:22.Trying to get serious. Two days ago Donald Tusk expressed emotion at the
:02:23. > :02:27.prospect of the UK leaving the EU. This morning it was down to
:02:28. > :02:31.business. He has sent draft negotiating deadlines to the other
:02:32. > :02:37.27 countries setting up tough tone for two years of talks. He says they
:02:38. > :02:42.could be difficult, complex and sometimes confrontational. The EU
:02:43. > :02:47.says four issues should be discussed first. The rights of citizens, legal
:02:48. > :02:52.certainty for businesses, the size of the divorce bill and the border
:02:53. > :02:55.between Northern Ireland and the republic. Only then is it prepared
:02:56. > :03:02.to talk about a future trade relationship. Whilst and only whilst
:03:03. > :03:04.we have achieved sufficient progress on the withdrawal can we discuss the
:03:05. > :03:12.framework for our future relationship. Darting parallel talks
:03:13. > :03:19.on issues at the same time as suggested by some in the UK will not
:03:20. > :03:24.happen. Donald Tusk suggested that the UK would have little say in the
:03:25. > :03:37.matter. What does sufficient progress in men and who is it that
:03:38. > :03:42.will define it? EU 27 decides if sufficient progress has been
:03:43. > :03:47.achieved. Probably in the autumn. At least I hope so. There was also a
:03:48. > :03:52.warning that the UK should not try to hold separate discussions with
:03:53. > :03:56.individual member states. Divide and rule, the EU insists, will not be
:03:57. > :04:00.allowed. Plenty for the government to chew on. At the Nato meeting in
:04:01. > :04:06.Brussels the Foreign Secretary was keen to emphasise the positive. Both
:04:07. > :04:12.sides genuinely want an ambitious partnership in the future. We really
:04:13. > :04:15.are moving forward and there is a lot of goodwill, a lot of
:04:16. > :04:20.willingness to achieve what the Prime Minister has said she wants to
:04:21. > :04:26.achieve, which is an orderly transition and a deep and special
:04:27. > :04:30.partnership between a strong EU and a strong UK. No one ever thought
:04:31. > :04:33.this was going to be easy. This document from the EU shows how many
:04:34. > :04:40.hurdles there are going to be along the road. And if there were to be a
:04:41. > :04:43.transition phase between full membership and a totally new
:04:44. > :04:48.relationship in the future it suggest that the UK would have to
:04:49. > :04:49.accept that current laws and budget contributions would continue to
:04:50. > :04:58.apply. Crucially he said that trade talks
:04:59. > :05:06.could begin maybe later this year. Yes. That has always been the EU
:05:07. > :05:10.position. Not ruling out the idea of parallel negotiations at any time
:05:11. > :05:15.within the next two years but not starting with them. The separation
:05:16. > :05:19.arrangements, the divorce bill, as to be sorted out first. The key
:05:20. > :05:25.thing as it is going to be the other 27 countries who decide whether
:05:26. > :05:28.enough progress has been made. If it has then potentially in the autumn
:05:29. > :05:32.initial talks about a future trade relationship. The UK Government
:05:33. > :05:36.would still like to complete negotiations on a free-trade
:05:37. > :05:41.agreement with the rest of the EU in the two-year period. I have not
:05:42. > :05:46.spoken to any other EU official who thinks that is possible so maybe
:05:47. > :05:51.some general terms about how things could go forward but then towards
:05:52. > :05:55.the end of the two year period the EU is suggesting we have to talk
:05:56. > :05:59.about the transition from here to there and that will also be a
:06:00. > :06:03.further complication. Do not forget, at the moment these are draft
:06:04. > :06:08.guidelines. They will be debated by the 27 member states over the next
:06:09. > :06:13.months and the 27 leaders will meet at the end of April for a summit to
:06:14. > :06:18.approve them. You can see clearly the UK is not involved in the summit
:06:19. > :06:21.or the debate about them. This is a process from the EU perspective won
:06:22. > :06:24.it believes it is leading. Our political correspondent
:06:25. > :06:32.Iain Watson is in Westminster. Their reaction? The government has
:06:33. > :06:35.been trying to accentuate the positive. Downing Street made it
:06:36. > :06:39.clear they believe both sides wanted to approach the talks
:06:40. > :06:43.constructively. We heard from Boris Johnson saying there was a lot of
:06:44. > :06:48.goodwill so no attempt to fan the flames with the remaining 27 members
:06:49. > :06:53.of the EU but Theresa May's political opponents certainly trying
:06:54. > :06:59.to turn up the heat. In a terrible pun, the Liberal Democrat suggested
:07:00. > :07:05.the Prime Minister had been taken to tusk by Donald Tusk. The key demands
:07:06. > :07:09.that the Prime Minister made on parallel negotiations and deals for
:07:10. > :07:13.industry, none of that was likely to happen and she had been carless to
:07:14. > :07:23.isolate herself from potential allies. Ukip did not attack the
:07:24. > :07:30.government. But a tag EU leaders saying they are being inflexible.
:07:31. > :07:33.And seeing that they are brittle. If the talks are phased in the way the
:07:34. > :07:38.Donald Tusk suggest that there is a lot of emphasis on the divorce bill
:07:39. > :07:42.first before seeing some of the potential benefits of leaving the EU
:07:43. > :07:47.then some members of her party might start to say, if there's divorce
:07:48. > :07:52.bill is too high, we should walk away, get out with no deal.
:07:53. > :07:54.Waiting times will be longer for routine operations,
:07:55. > :08:02.such as hip and knee replacements, as a "trade off" for improvements
:08:03. > :08:04.in A performance, and better treatment in other areas.
:08:05. > :08:07.That's according to the Head of NHS England, Simon Stevens,
:08:08. > :08:10.who's unveiling a strategy for the NHS over the next two years.
:08:11. > :08:16.He says increasing patient demand and the growth in new treatments
:08:17. > :08:19.Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.
:08:20. > :08:24.At the age of 97, Iris need a little help,
:08:25. > :08:27.especially after recovering from a recent illness.
:08:28. > :08:30.So her GP called a local NHS service that provides
:08:31. > :08:39.the right care in the right place and for Iris, that was home.
:08:40. > :08:41.The treatment at home has been absolutely wonderful.
:08:42. > :08:48.You need a walking frame, it was there straightaway.
:08:49. > :08:51.Without help at home, Iris might have ended up
:08:52. > :08:58.One of the big challenges facing busy emergency departments like this
:08:59. > :09:02.one is how to reduce the sheer pressure in terms of numbers
:09:03. > :09:04.of patients who are attending, particularly those frail,
:09:05. > :09:08.older people who might be treated at home.
:09:09. > :09:11.So today's announcement reflects a broader push to keep people out
:09:12. > :09:18.NHS England leaders are taking stock of progress
:09:19. > :09:21.since their five-year plan was published in 2014.
:09:22. > :09:26.A new strategy also focuses on improved cancer survival rates,
:09:27. > :09:31.increased access to mental health therapies and recruiting more GPs.
:09:32. > :09:33.But NHS leaders are warning that faced with limited resources,
:09:34. > :09:35.there will be a trade-off between these improvements
:09:36. > :09:43.For example, people may have to wait longer for nonurgent operations.
:09:44. > :09:47.There is a solution and that lies in encouraging different component
:09:48. > :09:50.parts of the NHS to work much more closely together along with local
:09:51. > :09:53.authorities and social services to help us get people
:09:54. > :10:00.But medical unions say patients with conditions such as heart
:10:01. > :10:03.disease or chronic pain will be affected.
:10:04. > :10:05.These things are being de-prioritised at the moment
:10:06. > :10:07.whereas I think that to an individual patient,
:10:08. > :10:10.the important thing is to be able to treat every patient on time
:10:11. > :10:14.And today, it's clearer than ever the money available to the health
:10:15. > :10:16.service means tough decisions are being made.
:10:17. > :10:20.There is only a fixed pot of money for the NHS and social
:10:21. > :10:22.care and we can't meet all of the priorities that matter
:10:23. > :10:27.to patients and the public without additional funding
:10:28. > :10:29.so the onus is on politicians, NHS leaders to start
:10:30. > :10:35.a discussion with the public about what the NHS can afford.
:10:36. > :10:39.A crisis in A, the collapse of social care and financial
:10:40. > :10:41.problems have all threatened to blow the NHS England five-year
:10:42. > :10:47.Today, the health service is trying to refocus on what works
:10:48. > :10:52.Let's talk to our health editor Hugh Pym.
:10:53. > :10:59.Tell us more about what Simon Stevens had to say.
:11:00. > :11:07.He was making a speech here at the Aldershot centre for health, one of
:11:08. > :11:12.the bigger centres of its kind in the country which combines GP
:11:13. > :11:16.practices, a pharmacy, dentist, mental health services, you can get
:11:17. > :11:21.a scan here, the point is to keep people out of hospitals they can
:11:22. > :11:24.come to the local health centre and get a broader range of treatments
:11:25. > :11:30.and he would like to see more of this centre around England. He is
:11:31. > :11:36.saying the NHS can only do so much and hospital treatment is expensive
:11:37. > :11:42.and there can be improvements in cancer treatment, mental health,
:11:43. > :11:47.more investment in GP services, but something has to give, and that is
:11:48. > :11:51.these waiting lists for routine operations, conceding there will
:11:52. > :11:56.have to get longer. I pushed him on that and he spelt out what he meant.
:11:57. > :12:01.What we need to do is we need to fix the most urgent problems first
:12:02. > :12:06.and I think most people can see that ensuring our A and our GP
:12:07. > :12:08.services are able to properly look after people across the country.
:12:09. > :12:14.Then, having done that, obviously in the period ahead,
:12:15. > :12:19.we want to be able to also ensure we are meeting
:12:20. > :12:23.the waiting times guarantees, that are, by some measure,
:12:24. > :12:30.the fastest guarantee for patients that any Western country offers.
:12:31. > :12:38.Simon Stephens. Doesn't boil down to money? Many would say it does and
:12:39. > :12:42.when asked about the money Simon Stephens does not want to answer the
:12:43. > :12:47.question. He said with the money I have got this is what we can do. We
:12:48. > :12:52.can do a lot but things like waiting lists will have to expand. He got
:12:53. > :12:56.into an argument with the government by suggesting he did not have the
:12:57. > :13:00.money he asked for so he has consciously decided not to set to
:13:01. > :13:03.play to ask for more funding but to say this is what I can do with the
:13:04. > :13:05.money you offered and leave others to make the case for more funding
:13:06. > :13:18.perhaps. In the last few minutes a letter has
:13:19. > :13:19.been formally sent to Downing Street requesting an independence
:13:20. > :13:23.referendum for Scotland. In it, she reiterates her call for
:13:24. > :13:27.a vote within the next two years. The Prime Minister has already
:13:28. > :13:29.said it won't happen Our Scotland correspondent
:13:30. > :13:35.James Shaw is in Edinburgh. Tell us more about this letter. In
:13:36. > :13:39.her letter the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says there is no rational
:13:40. > :13:44.reason why the Prime Minister should project our request for a second
:13:45. > :13:48.independence referendum. If it is an issue of claiming she says the vote
:13:49. > :13:52.could take place after Brexit negotiations have finished so that
:13:53. > :13:57.people in Scotland have a choice between Brexit and independence. She
:13:58. > :14:02.also hinted at what her reaction might be if our request is rejected.
:14:03. > :14:04.My view, the will of the Scottish parliament must be respected.
:14:05. > :14:07.It is a question not of if it is respected
:14:08. > :14:11.If the Prime Minister chooses not to do that I will set
:14:12. > :14:14.out to Parliament over the next few weeks what I intend to do to make
:14:15. > :14:18.sure that the will of the parliament is respected and we make progress
:14:19. > :14:24.towards giving the people of Scotland the choice.
:14:25. > :14:33.What might that response be? Perhaps in the worst-case scenario it could
:14:34. > :14:36.be the First Minister somehow disrupting or delaying the
:14:37. > :14:42.legislative process which is intended to repatriate to bring back
:14:43. > :14:45.powers from Europe to the United Kingdom and ministers here in

:18:17. > :18:19.an extra billion pounds in savings The claim's based on an analysis
:18:20. > :18:23.by the National Audit Office and conversations with seven serving
:18:24. > :18:27.and former senior officers. The defence secretary says
:18:28. > :18:29.he accepts the budget is tight but no cuts have been
:18:30. > :18:42.signed off yet. The Armed Forces are in the midst of
:18:43. > :18:48.a major upgrade. New aircraft carriers, planes and submarines on
:18:49. > :18:52.order. But all this now reportedly leaving a ?10 billion hole in a

:18:57. > :19:01.Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, holds talks here with his US counterpart,
:19:02. > :19:08.James matters. The Americans want all Nato member states to have well

:19:24. > :19:27.Royal Navy is growing over all, growing by around 400, because the
:19:28. > :19:33.Royal Navy is getting new ships, new submarines, and then it is up to the
:19:34. > :19:37.first Sea Lord as to the number of sailors he has and Royal Marines he
:19:38. > :19:44.has. The estimated price tag for the Royal Navy's dreadnought submarines
:19:45. > :19:49.increased by ?620 million between 2015 and 2016. The project will take
:19:50. > :19:54.several decades to complete. And the cost of the left 35 joint strike

:25:32. > :25:34.restrictions on foreign labour could hit it harder
:25:35. > :25:38.than any other sector. The UK's hospitality sector employs
:25:39. > :25:41.around 3 million workers, but it's highly reliant
:25:42. > :25:45.on overseas staff. 24% of the workforce

:26:34. > :26:39.of the UK's most scenic tracks this morning as it marked the re-opening
:26:40. > :26:41.of the Settle-to-Carlisle rail line. The famous train took the scenic
:26:42. > :26:45.route through the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden Valley,
:26:46. > :26:58.a year after a major Sophie, one of the most charming
:26:59. > :27:01.things about this railway line is that it looks like something from
:27:02. > :27:04.yesteryear. You can see the water tower there ready for steam engines
:27:05. > :27:10.to come through on excursions, an old fashioned signalling box as
:27:11. > :27:14.well. Despite it looking like this, something from the last century,
:27:15. > :27:20.there has been a real drive over the last year or so to get this line
:27:21. > :27:24.open again. At lunchtime today, one of the most famous names in the
:27:25. > :27:29.world of steam arrived at Appleby, a station on one of the most famous
:27:30. > :27:34.rail lines in Britain. After being closed for 16 months, the settle to
:27:35. > :27:38.Carlisle route is open again. Everyone has a personal reason for
:27:39. > :27:45.being here. I think it's just childhood memories. The smoke, the
:27:46. > :27:53.dirt, the crime, -- the grime, the coal dust. When you think what they
:27:54. > :28:00.have accomplished lately, it's amazing what they have achieved.
:28:01. > :28:04.It's an ever-changing scene. You come in the winter, comeback in the
:28:05. > :28:08.summer and it's a completely different picture. There are so many
:28:09. > :28:13.villages on the line to explore. The village we are coming into now is
:28:14. > :28:19.lovely. This line is famous for its landscape. It runs through the high
:28:20. > :28:24.Pennines and the National Park, over this by duct and into the beautiful
:28:25. > :28:29.Eden Valley in Cumbria. But a landslip south of Carlisle left it
:28:30. > :28:33.closed to through traffic until today. Network Rail say the ?23
:28:34. > :28:38.million repair job is the most challenging project they have
:28:39. > :28:47.undertaken in their 15 year history. A year ago, we had a landslide of
:28:48. > :28:51.500,000 tonnes of dirt slipping into the Eden Gorge. We have done a
:28:52. > :28:59.really complicated repair, drilling into the rock below, putting 16,000
:29:00. > :29:03.tonnes of concrete on top and today we are open for business. Although
:29:04. > :29:07.this wonderful locomotive is attracting all the headlines today,
:29:08. > :29:10.the big issue for the remote villages along this line is that
:29:11. > :29:16.they have got their main transport line back and that means the return
:29:17. > :29:20.of business and visitors. Built in 1860s, threatened with closure in
:29:21. > :29:27.the 1980s, this old-fashioned but much loved railway route is open
:29:28. > :29:33.again, a new era celebrated style. And hundreds of people were on the
:29:34. > :29:38.platform here to see the flying Scotsman pass-through about an hour
:29:39. > :29:42.or so ago. It will be going south later today, back down the route,
:29:43. > :29:45.with lots of people watching. It's perfect time for this line to
:29:46. > :29:49.reopen, head of the Easter holidays and running into the summer, with
:29:50. > :29:50.the hope that the number of passengers on this line will rise
:29:51. > :29:57.sharply in the coming months. A Californian space company has made
:29:58. > :30:00.history by launching a used SpaceX has developed a way
:30:01. > :30:03.of landing its boosters - which are the most expensive part

:30:07. > :30:10.revolution in space flight after the rocket re-landed on a ship
:30:11. > :30:21.in the Atlantic. Hi there. It's an improving picture
:30:22. > :30:25.with the change of month tomorrow. Some sunshine in Cornwall right now
:30:26. > :30:33.with showers to come later. A little louder up in Scotland. Slightly
:30:34. > :30:36.different to yesterday, but we are seeing the improvement moving its
:30:37. > :30:43.way northward. You can see the cloud breaking up. Already the showers are
:30:44. > :30:46.chasing that drain into Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We will see
:30:47. > :30:51.sunshine between the showers, but we will pick up one or two across
:30:52. > :30:56.Devon, Cornwall and Pembrokeshire. Further east, temperatures are at 16
:30:57. > :30:59.or 17, so it feels very warm. We just had that 22 yesterday, so
:31:00. > :31:04.strengthening sunshine and feeling the effect of that. Some dry weather
:31:05. > :31:09.for a time in Northern Ireland, but a scattering of showers. The same
:31:10. > :31:12.story for southern and central Scotland, but for northern Scotland
:31:13. > :31:16.still waiting to this evening. The rain moving away overnight, then
:31:17. > :31:20.showers coming in from the West and clear skies, so not as warm as it
:31:21. > :31:25.was last night, because it was very warm indeed. Temperatures holding at
:31:26. > :31:28.about eight or nine Celsius. A little fresher as we start our
:31:29. > :31:32.Saturday morning but as I mentioned, change of month, change of weather
:31:33. > :31:37.and typically, it is April showers tomorrow. They will soon get going
:31:38. > :31:42.in many areas, and possibly heavy with Hal and thunder and lightning
:31:43. > :31:46.as well. Some may escape the showers, with coastlines seeing the
:31:47. > :31:49.best of the sunshine and outside of the showers with light winds and
:31:50. > :31:57.strengthening sunshine, it will fill very pleasant indeed. Overnight, a
:31:58. > :32:01.wedge of low pressure comes in -- high pressure comes in, and that
:32:02. > :32:05.would tend to ease those showers away, with drier weather on Sunday
:32:06. > :32:10.morning. It will be chilly with some frost and Fog and the outside chance
:32:11. > :32:15.of a shower in eastern England, but it is set fair. Maybe some fair
:32:16. > :32:18.weather cloud, but feeling very pleasant in that April sunshine. It
:32:19. > :32:22.looks set there if you are heading off to watch the boat race and
:32:23. > :32:26.hopefully conditions won't be as choppy as last weekend because we
:32:27. > :32:32.haven't got that strong easterly wind. The weekend is looking very
:32:33. > :32:37.promising, as I mentioned. April showers temporarily on Saturday, as
:32:38. > :32:40.it looks fine on Sunday, but chilly nights returning, so gardeners
:32:41. > :32:46.beware. Otherwise, a pleasant day on Sunday. As ever, if you want
:32:47. > :32:47.information further ahead of the Easter holidays further afield, it's
:32:48. > :32:50.on the website. A reminder of our main
:32:51. > :32:57.story this lunchtime. The president of the EU Council has
:32:58. > :33:01.warned Britain that Brexit talks will be difficult, complex and
:33:02. > :33:07.possibly confrontational. The EU 27 does not and will not pursue a
:33:08. > :33:12.punitive approach. Brexit in itself is already punitive enough.
