What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to bring

some control into the movement of people

A points-based system does not give you that control.

:00:20.:00:25.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:01.:01:25.

The Prime Minister has ruled out a points-based immigration

:01:26.:01:37.

system for EU nationals, a central demand of the Brexit

:01:38.:01:39.

campaign, saying it wouldn't control who comes in to the UK.

:01:40.:01:42.

Speaking at the end of the G20 in China, Theresa May said

:01:43.:01:44.

the summit had been a success and she had been pleased

:01:45.:01:47.

by the willingness of countries such as Australia and India

:01:48.:01:49.

From the city of Hangzhou, here's our Political Editor,

:01:50.:01:53.

Red carpets get rolled up and put away.

:01:54.:01:56.

And at the end of the Prime Minister's first big adventure

:01:57.:01:58.

abroad, there are questions that will follow her home.

:01:59.:02:05.

But despite wide concerns, there are some

:02:06.:02:06.

Promises from a handful of countries who want to do business after

:02:07.:02:12.

Good evening everybody, this has been my first G20 summit and the

:02:13.:02:20.

first summit of the world's leading economies since the United Kingdom

:02:21.:02:22.

What I've found pleasing and very useful in the discussions I've had

:02:23.:02:32.

is their willingness to talk to us about opening up trade arrangements

:02:33.:02:35.

between United Kingdom and a number of other countries.

:02:36.:02:37.

Fewer answers, though, on controlling EU

:02:38.:02:38.

It won't be with the system sold to the public during the

:02:39.:02:44.

What the British people voted for on the 23rd of June was to

:02:45.:02:49.

bring some control into the movement of people from the European Union

:02:50.:02:52.

A points-based system does not give you that control.

:02:53.:02:57.

More than two months after the

:02:58.:03:00.

referendum, can you give our audience any idea of what you might

:03:01.:03:03.

And, given that you were Home Secretary when

:03:04.:03:07.

immigration climbed to record levels, why should people trust you

:03:08.:03:09.

What the British people want to see is an element of control.

:03:10.:03:18.

There are various ways in which you can do

:03:19.:03:20.

But of course the work we are doing at the moment across

:03:21.:03:24.

government is about looking at the sort of relationship that we want to

:03:25.:03:27.

negotiate with the European Union, part of that is about the sort of

:03:28.:03:30.

trade arrangements, part of it is about the sort of issues

:03:31.:03:38.

we want to deal with in relation to free movement.

:03:39.:03:41.

So we will be coming forward in due course with those

:03:42.:03:43.

But this summit was about more than Brexit.

:03:44.:03:48.

Not quite putting names to faces, but the Prime

:03:49.:03:51.

Minister's induction to one of the world's

:03:52.:03:52.

most exclusive clubs, full

:03:53.:03:54.

of protocol and pressure, perhaps no more so than with China.

:03:55.:04:01.

Theresa May says the relationship with the

:04:02.:04:03.

summit host is about more than Hinkley Point, a proposed

:04:04.:04:06.

nuclear power station built with Chinese billions.

:04:07.:04:14.

And despite irritation with her decision to delay, tonight

:04:15.:04:16.

But some relationships have been much more

:04:17.:04:22.

Said the bonds between our two countries are

:04:23.:04:32.

Firm friends already with the Australian leader,

:04:33.:04:35.

with the promise on the table of a trade deal as soon

:04:36.:04:37.

And a rather relaxed Indian leader too.

:04:38.:04:44.

May and Modi both trying to get their first formal

:04:45.:04:47.

This has not been an easy set of meetings for the

:04:48.:04:56.

Alongside the grips and grins of the formal handshake

:04:57.:05:01.

there's been warmth, but warnings too.

:05:02.:05:02.

But Theresa May has shown she

:05:03.:05:03.

wants to be a leader who does things in her own time and in her own way,

:05:04.:05:08.

not bound by the promises of the referendum or of her

:05:09.:05:11.

an impression and departs having done that, but

:05:12.:05:22.

leaves only a few more clues on how Britain and the EU will say goodbye.

:05:23.:05:26.

Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Hangzhou.

:05:27.:05:31.

Back at Westminster, the Brexit Secretary David Davis has

:05:32.:05:33.

been addressing MPs about getting the best solution for Britain

:05:34.:05:36.

His opposite number in the Labour party said his statement contained

:05:37.:05:42.

Our political correspondent Ben Wright was listening

:05:43.:05:45.

They arrived back from their summer break by car, with bags, on foot.

:05:46.:05:57.

The recently sacked and the freshly promoted.

:05:58.:05:58.

Are we going to get more details today about what Brexit will really

:05:59.:06:02.

I'm sure you'll hear a great deal of interest.

:06:03.:06:05.

That's Liam Fox, the new Secretary of State for International Trade,

:06:06.:06:07.

heading to the Commons to hear a statement

:06:08.:06:09.

MPs were not expecting it to be a very long one.

:06:10.:06:15.

Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.

:06:16.:06:17.

Speaking to MPs for the first time, David Davis set out

:06:18.:06:20.

There will be no attempt to stay in the EU by the back door,

:06:21.:06:28.

no attempt to delay, frustrate or thwart the will

:06:29.:06:30.

of the British people, no attempt to engineer a second

:06:31.:06:36.

referendum because some people didn't like the first answer.

:06:37.:06:38.

Mr Davis said the government would build a consensus

:06:39.:06:40.

We will decide on our borders, our laws and the taxpayers' money.

:06:41.:06:54.

It means getting the best deal for Britain, one that is unique

:06:55.:06:57.

to Britain and not an off-the-shelf solution.

:06:58.:07:00.

But MPs on the opposite side of the Commons asked...

:07:01.:07:03.

You've had all summer, Secretary of State.

:07:04.:07:10.

It has to be said, it is a mark of an irresponsible government

:07:11.:07:14.

just as it was a mark of an irresponsible Leave campaign,

:07:15.:07:17.

that we know nothing more about the phrase "Brexit means

:07:18.:07:19.

It's just been more empty platitudes from a government that just

:07:20.:07:24.

continues to make it up as it goes along.

:07:25.:07:26.

And a leading Tory campaigner for Brexit wanted some guarantees.

:07:27.:07:32.

That this United Kingdom will take control of its control

:07:33.:07:35.

of its borders and the laws that are relevant to that and that is not

:07:36.:07:38.

But at the moment all the government has is vague rhetoric.

:07:39.:07:44.

The details about exactly when divorce talks with

:07:45.:07:46.

the European Union will start and what a new relationship

:07:47.:07:49.

will look like - that could take months, even years,

:07:50.:07:52.

As MPs argued, a demand outside Parliament for the start

:07:53.:07:59.

For the millions who voted for Brexit, impatience with the pace

:08:00.:08:04.

Our Home Editor Mark Easton is here...

:08:05.:08:18.

We had in that piece about taking control but of our borders when it

:08:19.:08:24.

comes to immigration. We have heard what Theresa May says. We have heard

:08:25.:08:28.

what she has ruled out, not so much what she has ruled in. Interesting

:08:29.:08:35.

words coming out. Control of immigration, we just heard Iain

:08:36.:08:38.

Duncan Smith in that report say, we don't want some control, we want

:08:39.:08:43.

total control of our borders. I think the Prime Minister's cautious

:08:44.:08:47.

phrasing represents the underlying problem of creating a prosperous

:08:48.:08:52.

free-market economy open to inward investment, and in the global

:08:53.:08:56.

trading where it can one at the same time introducing strict and

:08:57.:08:59.

inevitably bureaucratic controls on who can and cannot come into the UK.

:09:00.:09:04.

The government has rolled out a points-based system, some Brexit

:09:05.:09:15.

supporters will say, I thought that was part of the deal. But the Prime

:09:16.:09:17.

Minister says she is determined to reduce immigration levels. The

:09:18.:09:19.

challenge is to find an effective system that will do that, give

:09:20.:09:22.

people confidence at the same time but we've got control of our

:09:23.:09:24.

borders. Visas, quotas, temporary work systems and schemes, all of

:09:25.:09:28.

those have advantages but is the Prime Minister said today there is

:09:29.:09:32.

no silver bullet. Mark, thanks very much.

:09:33.:09:35.

New figures show the UK's services industry unexpectedly

:09:36.:09:37.

bounced back last month, reducing the likelihood

:09:38.:09:39.

Services account for nearly 80% of the UK economy but had

:09:40.:09:46.

slumped in July after the vote to leave the European Union.

:09:47.:09:49.

The return to growth for services follows signs

:09:50.:09:51.

of recovery in manufacturing and construction too.

:09:52.:09:52.

Here's our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed.

:09:53.:09:56.

Famous for its beer, less famous for voting Brexit by a healthy majority,

:09:57.:10:03.

Southend, is seaside town with the ups and downs of the economy sharply

:10:04.:10:07.

felt. Today the mood was pretty good. I think when you are generally

:10:08.:10:12.

around confidence seems pretty high, people are in the shops, spending,

:10:13.:10:16.

doing their normal thing but I know people in business and they are much

:10:17.:10:21.

more cautious. Not as bad as we are all led to believe but again I think

:10:22.:10:27.

it's early days yet. Early days, yes, but for the services sector the

:10:28.:10:31.

largest part of the UK economy including restaurants and tourism

:10:32.:10:41.

there has been a bounce back to growth after a gloomy July. But what

:10:42.:10:43.

about those local businesses? I visited a sportswear form which

:10:44.:10:45.

imports high end tennis gear from Portugal with a pound is not good

:10:46.:10:48.

for prizes and I asked whether more generally Brexit had affected

:10:49.:10:52.

economic confidence. I think it did feel our world was turned upside

:10:53.:10:56.

down afterwards. The doom and gloom predicted, I don't think us up and

:10:57.:11:00.

but there is a lot of uncertainty, I think, which is worrying for people.

:11:01.:11:05.

We seem to be doing OK at the moment but how will that pan out of the

:11:06.:11:11.

medium term? These figures are certainly positive. They showed the

:11:12.:11:22.

fastest month increase for 20 years but I think a slight note of

:11:23.:11:24.

caution, yes, there has been something of an economic bounce back

:11:25.:11:27.

but still the prediction is that the UK economy will grow significantly

:11:28.:11:29.

more slowly than it would have done if Britain had voted to remain in

:11:30.:11:34.

the EU. Throughout the year, UK growth has been about far more than

:11:35.:11:39.

Brexit. The year started slowly, growth at just 0.4% as fears of a

:11:40.:11:45.

slowdown in China took hold. Of the year growth picked up 20.6% of the

:11:46.:11:50.

economy strengthened. Now it is predicted that growth will fall to

:11:51.:11:55.

0.1% in in the third quarter, uncertainty over the post-Brexit

:11:56.:12:00.

future given as the reason. At the moment it is looking like we might

:12:01.:12:04.

narrowly avoid a recession. We saw a steep downturn in July, we have had

:12:05.:12:08.

a rebound in August which leaves an overall flat position. The sky has

:12:09.:12:13.

resolutely not fallen in but dangers remain. There is evidence that

:12:14.:12:18.

inflation is returning. Yes, a weaker pound helps exports but also

:12:19.:12:22.

means imports are more expensive. The economy is likely to be on quite

:12:23.:12:29.

confusing right as the full effects of the foot sink in. Kamal Ahmed,

:12:30.:12:31.

:12:32.:12:32.

jobs was one reason - according to voters in some parts

:12:50.:12:51.

to actually make a difference. Here, nearly seven out

of ten voted to Leave. Have a bit of pride,

:13:00.:13:06.

give them something new because as it's going,

:13:30.:13:32.

it was going nowhere. Andy was so disillusioned he had

:13:33.:13:35.

stopped voting until the referendum. That one vote meant

:13:36.:13:39.

more to me than in any all it seemed to be in the general

:13:40.:13:42.

elections was repeating yourself over and over again,

:13:43.:13:45.

Conservative-Labour, This is something completely

:13:46.:13:47.

different, this is a chance for the whole country

:13:48.:13:52.

to hopefully move forward now. And across Stoke, many

:13:53.:13:54.

told us the same story - the referendum was a chance

:13:55.:13:57.

to be heard. I thought that if people like me

:13:58.:14:03.

do vote, we could make in the end, it turned out,

:14:04.:14:06.

people like me made a difference. With Dan there is optimism,

the sense of a new start. We survived thousands of years

:14:12.:14:14.

until the EU took over and started dictating to us,

:14:15.:14:16.

why can't we do it again? Then at least we've made that

:14:17.:14:19.

decision and we can blame ourselves. I think it's a disaster

:14:20.:14:23.

waiting to happen. But more than two months on,

:14:24.:14:25.

there is still frustration The people here will say no,

:14:26.:14:28.

they wanted change. That's incredibly unfair

:14:29.:14:39.

to the people who voted to leave. No, if you talk to them,

European Union for changing Well, I just want to get back to how

we used to be, that's all. All the foreigners coming in,

made clear there wasn't time to make contingency plans in hospitals. We

:17:24.:17:28.

have called off a first planned industrial action due to take place

:17:29.:17:32.

next week because we are responding reasonably to concerns raised by

:17:33.:17:35.

hospital trusts that they need more time to prepare for this level of

:17:36.:17:40.

industrial action. We wanted to keep patients safe and that is our first

:17:41.:17:45.

and utmost priority. Earlier, the General medical Council, which

:17:46.:17:48.

regulates the medical profession, had made clear its concern that only

:17:49.:17:52.

12 days notice of next weeks strikes had been given. Our concern is the

degree of notice, there is a very high-risk of causing harm to

:18:01.:18:04.

patients. But the BMA says strikes in October, November and December

will go ahead, with its campaign against new employment for junior

:18:10.:18:14.

doctors continuing. On the Doctors's agenda, some items have been

resolved since previous strikes, such as preventing excessive hours.

:18:23.:18:26.

part-time doctors have not been resolved. A Department for health

:18:27.:18:30.

spokesperson said that the public will be relieved that the BMA have

:18:31.:18:34.

decided to call off this first phase of unprecedented strikes. "But If

:18:35.:18:40.
