:06:49. > :06:51.of a gas or chemical attack. Unable to breathe, choking

:07:04. > :07:07.horrified all of us. I can say this is a politician,

:08:28. > :08:31.suggests that this was the Assad regime who did it in the full
:08:32. > :08:35.knowledge that they were using illegal weapons in a barbaric attack
:08:36. > :08:42.on their own people. With rescuers frantically dousing
:08:43. > :08:45.survivors in water to wash off chemicals, and graphic eyewitness
:08:46. > :08:48.accounts of what happened, many experts conclude this can only have
:08:49. > :08:55.been carried out by the regime. There is no indication
:08:56. > :08:58.that the moderate Syrian rebels were involved in chemical
:08:59. > :09:02.production, particularly something difficult
:09:03. > :09:05.to do like sarin. As government air strikes
:09:06. > :09:07.against rebel areas continue, some victims are being treated
:09:08. > :09:11.in neighbouring Turkey. The Assad regime has been emboldened

:14:23. > :14:33.Quite some exchanges, tough talking all round. Yes on both sides and not
:14:34. > :14:38.just on the issue of money. The issue of Gibraltar was again raised,
:14:39. > :14:43.British MEPs, Ukip MEPs said Gibraltar would not be used as a
:14:44. > :14:48.bargaining chip. A Spanish MEP said it was unacceptable in the 21st
:14:49. > :14:53.century to have a colony in Europe. And I think that goes to the heart
:14:54. > :14:57.of some of the concerns, but this is only one week into Brexit
:14:58. > :15:01.negotiations, real negotiations had not even begun. Parties are just
:15:02. > :15:06.laying out their stall and the concern is things could get heated
:15:07. > :15:09.very quickly. And that could make negotiations harder. But in
:15:10. > :15:13.substance of what just happened today, what we had is the resolution
:15:14. > :15:19.now from the European Parliament adopting its position towards the
:15:20. > :15:22.Brexit negotiations. And that is very close to what we already heard
:15:23. > :15:28.from the European leaders, pretty tough, they are saying that there
:15:29. > :15:32.has to be agreement in alkaline on the exit, the separation first. That
:15:33. > :15:37.means settling the bill. Only then can you move onto trade talks. And
:15:38. > :15:41.in terms of a future negotiation, some tough conditions as well. No
:15:42. > :15:46.special access for the UK but also if the UK once a close relationship
:15:47. > :15:51.with the EU in future MEP said that the UK will have to abide by EU

:16:00. > :16:10.they will have a yes or no vote on any final deal reached with the UK.
:16:11. > :16:14.Let's get the view from Westminster. Theresa May has been making a few
:16:15. > :16:18.comments about immigration as well. You will remember immigration was
:16:19. > :16:22.one of the big issues during the referendum campaign. And as Theresa
:16:23. > :16:25.May goes into the Brexit negotiations the future policy that
:16:26. > :16:28.the UK has around immigration is going to be one of the key
:16:29. > :16:32.questions. That is why the Prime Minister was pushed on the issue by
:16:33. > :16:37.journalists on a recent overseas trip. Theresa May has said that
:16:38. > :16:40.curbs on freedom of movement when we leave the EU might not come in
:16:41. > :16:44.straightaway. That there would need to be some kind of transition period
:16:45. > :16:48.while the government and also businesses got used to the new
:16:49. > :16:53.rules. She also emphasised that because of Brexit the UK would get
:16:54. > :16:56.control of its borders and also its immigration policy. I think her
:16:57. > :17:00.comments have left open the possibility that freedom of movement
:17:01. > :17:06.could continue albeit for a short period. It has to be said there is
:17:07. > :17:09.nothing new in this and the government. No new policy. I think
:17:10. > :17:12.the tone is interesting, increasingly we are hearing
:17:13. > :17:17.government ministers use caveats when talking about immigration.

:17:22. > :17:26.on the government to spell out what a potential transitional deal might
:17:27. > :17:29.look like. We know that the two years of negotiations have now
:17:30. > :17:33.started, many have said that the talks are going to be extremely
:17:34. > :17:36.tough. What we are seeing as big as Theresa May and the government
:17:37. > :17:40.preparing the ground, showing a bit of give and take, that that might be

:26:30. > :26:34.this driverless part. You do not need a driver, basically it works on
:26:35. > :26:40.sensors and a camera at the front. It is on trial for the next couple

:27:34. > :27:37.as we expect it to. The cameras and the lasers are picking up all
:27:38. > :27:39.movement and the vehicle can stop safely that needs to. Well -- we
:27:40. > :27:42.need to do this research to understand what the public feel
:27:43. > :27:44.about the future of this technology and then if it is positive we will
:27:45. > :27:48.see a roll-out of this technology. So you think by 2020 these kind of

:28:56. > :29:01.Just 200 yards away from where I'm standing, at 2:40pm on March the
:29:02. > :29:05.22nd two weeks ago, the lives of so many people were changed one way or
:29:06. > :29:10.another. The injured and those who died. Many of whom their families
:29:11. > :29:16.were here today at the service of hope and reconciliation. Peter Hunt
:29:17. > :29:20.is with me now. The fact it was only two weeks ago, it has very much
:29:21. > :29:26.affected the mood of the service. This was not a memorial service, it
:29:27. > :29:28.is too early for that, nor a service of remembrance as some funerals have
:29:29. > :29:34.not yet taken place. It was billed as a service of hope, quite
:29:35. > :29:37.difficult for some of those most directly affected. I think what it
:29:38. > :29:42.was was a gathering of all those people most directly affected,
:29:43. > :29:46.either of the injured or bereaved or indeed those who first responded to
:29:47. > :29:50.what unfolded close by. The Royal Family, a new generation of the
:29:51. > :29:54.Royals, very much at the height of the service. Yet inevitably we will
:29:55. > :29:58.see more of this, the younger generation taking on more of the
:29:59. > :30:01.load. The Queen or Prince Charles could not be here but this is what
:30:02. > :30:07.we're going to see more and more with the monarchy. We will see
:30:08. > :30:11.William, Harry and Kate representing them and indeed Charles and William
:30:12. > :30:15.have seen some of the injured and responders in hospital for this.
:30:16. > :30:20.What we are now seeing are these three young Royals meeting some of
:30:21. > :30:22.those most directly affected. Thank you very much was that those who
:30:23. > :30:27.lost their lives in the attack very much at the heart of peoples
:30:28. > :30:31.thoughts at the ceremony. On Monday the funeral of the police officer
:30:32. > :30:35.who was killed, Keith Palmer, will take place at Southwark Cathedral
:30:36. > :30:42.and that will be a full police service. So once again the attacker
:30:43. > :30:46.and what he did will be remembered and in the words of the Dean of
:30:47. > :30:47.Westminster today, everyone has one question and the question that may
:30:48. > :31:06.never be answered is, why. Changes in the weather will be slow
:31:07. > :31:10.in the next few days and that means a lot more dry weather to come and
:31:11. > :31:14.at times some sunshine. This was the view in Devon this morning, had for
:31:15. > :31:19.blue skies. It was not like that every word, further north we had
:31:20. > :31:22.more in the way of cloud and as we go through the next few days there
:31:23. > :31:27.will be a fair amount of cloud but largely dry and some sunshine, slow
:31:28. > :31:32.changes until the weekend when things warm up quite dramatically
:31:33. > :31:36.for some. This is the satellite picture so far today, cloud coming
:31:37. > :31:39.in from the north-west, the best of the sunshine across southern parts
:31:40. > :31:44.of England. And that is where we keep the sunshine through the rest
:31:45. > :31:48.of today, towards the south-east and Channel Islands. Temperatures up to
:31:49. > :31:51.15 degrees. More cloud developing through the afternoon for East
:31:52. > :31:56.Anglia and into the Midlands and parts of Wales. For Northern Ireland
:31:57. > :32:01.the cloud perhaps just big enough for some rain along the north coast.
:32:02. > :32:07.Similar for the West of Scotland. And where we have sunshine by day
:32:08. > :32:12.across eastern Scotland, we will have clear spells overnight and also
:32:13. > :32:19.across parts of Wales and the south-west. It could get cold enough
:32:20. > :32:23.in these areas for some frost. But temperatures elsewhere are holding
:32:24. > :32:29.up well. Tomorrow we start off cloudy, some bricks in the cloud,
:32:30. > :32:32.and then as we go through the day some breaks elsewhere. So you could
:32:33. > :32:42.see some sunshine but equally the odd shower for the West of Scotland
:32:43. > :32:44.and Northern Isles. Friday, another largely dry day with spells of
:32:45. > :32:49.sunshine in some places. Generally quite a lot of cloud but then we get
:32:50. > :32:53.to the weekend. High pressure has been bringing us dry weather and
:32:54. > :32:59.might make it a little bit chilly on Friday night. But into the weekend
:33:00. > :33:03.we begin to draw in these southerly winds. That will waft warm air
:33:04. > :33:08.across many parts of the country so temperatures are going to begin to
:33:09. > :33:14.climb. A decent looking day on Saturday, some patchy cloud and
:33:15. > :33:18.smell the sunshine with thick cloud and the odd spot of rain. Easily 15,
:33:19. > :33:23.16 degrees. And then on Sunday a glorious sunny day across England
:33:24. > :33:29.and Wales. Some cloud and rain in the north-west. And a little bit
:33:30. > :33:34.cooler here but further south, high teens and no 20s, up to 23 in the
:33:35. > :33:36.south-east. Slow changes initially and then warming up quite
:33:37. > :33:41.dramatically for the weekend.
