:01:34. > :01:35.are strong as she acknowledged the risks facing
:01:36. > :01:42.The International Monetary Fund has warned the British economy is likely
:01:43. > :01:44.to slow, and sterling plunged today to a 31-year low.
:01:45. > :01:47.Theresa May said she is expecting bumps along the road as the UK
:01:48. > :01:49.negotiates to leave the EU, but she's confident
:01:50. > :01:59.She was talking to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:02:00. > :02:06.Nothing about leaving the EU is likely to be neat and tidy, but how
:02:07. > :02:11.much mess does the Prime Minister think the economy might be in? Exit
:02:12. > :02:18.is an opportunity, but with the pound plunging, a big risk too. The
:02:19. > :02:22.pound today has sunk to a 31 year low, the International Monetary Fund
:02:23. > :02:26.is warning there will be a slowdown. How worried are you about the impact
:02:27. > :02:33.on people's livelihoods as we on the angle ourselves from the EU? The
:02:34. > :02:36.process of leaving the European Union will take complex negotiations
:02:37. > :02:40.with the EU. I'm very clear we want to get the right deal for the UK.
:02:41. > :02:45.It's not going to be plain sailing and there will be some bumps in the
:02:46. > :02:50.road. We should always remember the fundamentals of the UK economy are
:02:51. > :02:54.strong. But the pound sinking to a 31 year low is perhaps more than a
:02:55. > :03:00.bump in the road. The Chancellor suggested yesterday this would be a
:03:01. > :03:01.roller-coaster. Many people found roller-coaster is terrifying. Are
:03:02. > :03:07.you worried? I am clear and ambitious
:03:08. > :03:12.for the sort of deal we will get, the right deal as a result
:03:13. > :03:14.of these negotiations. That means the maximum opportunity
:03:15. > :03:17.for businesses in the UK to be able to trade with and operate
:03:18. > :03:19.within the single market Are you not worried about what has
:03:20. > :03:30.happened to the pound today? As you have just said,
:03:31. > :03:33.currencies go up and down. If you stand back and look
:03:34. > :03:36.at the fundamentals of our economy and look at recent data,
:03:37. > :03:39.if you look at the most recent forecast that is coming out
:03:40. > :03:42.for growth in our economy this year, all of that is more positive
:03:43. > :03:47.than people had expected You have said you will make
:03:48. > :03:55.a success of Brexit, but unless you acknowledge the real
:03:56. > :03:58.risk, isn't there a danger that it looks like you're not taking
:03:59. > :04:00.the risks seriously enough? I have said it will not
:04:01. > :04:02.be plain sailing. So people should not be worried
:04:03. > :04:04.about the economy? As we look ahead over the coming
:04:05. > :04:09.months, and yes the IMF and others have said that they are forecasting
:04:10. > :04:13.a slowdown in the economy next year, but what the Government needs
:04:14. > :04:17.to do is to ensure we are taking the right approach, that in terms
:04:18. > :04:20.of the process of Brexit we are making that
:04:21. > :04:29.as smooth as possible. You have clearly ruled out having a
:04:30. > :04:34.general election before 2020. Do you think it is right that the public
:04:35. > :04:40.has a Prime Minister that they haven't elected for four years? The
:04:41. > :04:43.public elected Conservative government in May 2015, on a
:04:44. > :04:48.manifesto which we are putting into place. You are doing a lot of things
:04:49. > :04:53.that were not in the manifesto. It's a new government, shouldn't there
:04:54. > :04:56.therefore be a mandate? May elected a Conservative government on a
:04:57. > :05:01.manifesto which my Conservative government is putting into practice.
:05:02. > :05:05.We are continuing the work David Cameron started, but of course
:05:06. > :05:09.circumstances have changed. On June the 23rd we had a significant vote
:05:10. > :05:17.in the UK and government has to look at whether it needs to do any to
:05:18. > :05:20.that. The first thing is to deliver on that vote and say we trust the
:05:21. > :05:23.British people. It is only the Conservative Party saying we trust
:05:24. > :05:28.the British people and we will ensure Britain comes out of the
:05:29. > :05:32.European Union. We need stability. You've talked about the economic
:05:33. > :05:36.situation and markets, actually what markets want is stability and a
:05:37. > :05:39.general election would give them instability. This week the Prime
:05:40. > :05:46.Minister wanted the party the notion will take us out of the EU, but also
:05:47. > :05:52.to show a calm, brave face the rest of the country. Behind closed doors,
:05:53. > :05:55.ministers don't agree yet on how life outside the EU would look.
:05:56. > :05:57.Right now, Theresa May is only willing to provide one answer to the
:05:58. > :06:00.many questions. As we heard in Laura's piece there,
:06:01. > :06:03.the IMF and the plunge in the value of sterling are sounding warning
:06:04. > :06:06.bells for the UK economy. But the FTSE 100 share index closed
:06:07. > :06:18.today just short of a record high. A strong government stance on Brexit
:06:19. > :06:22.goes in and a weak pound comes out. In spite of all the upbeat economic
:06:23. > :06:25.figures since the referendum, the currency markets are worried tough
:06:26. > :06:30.trade negotiations will mean weaker economic growth and that means a
:06:31. > :06:35.weaker pound. In just over a year, sterling has dropped by 20%, most of
:06:36. > :06:43.that since the referendum. It is down to its lowest since 1985, yet
:06:44. > :06:47.at the same time shares in the 100 biggest companies on the stock
:06:48. > :06:52.market surged. Why? We are seeing markets benefit from the impact of
:06:53. > :06:57.loose monetary policy, but as far as UK stocks in particular are
:06:58. > :07:01.concerned, because of the FTSE 100's make-up, where three quarters of its
:07:02. > :07:05.earnings come from overseas, when they are translated back into the
:07:06. > :07:09.UK, they are benefiting from the weakness of the currency. The weak
:07:10. > :07:12.pound has also acted as a stimulus to manufacturers and other
:07:13. > :07:16.exporters, making their goods cheaper for foreign customers to
:07:17. > :07:20.buy. There is evidence the weaker pound has been helping large parts
:07:21. > :07:24.of the economy at least as much as it has been harming, but traders
:07:25. > :07:27.here are looking to the future and their calculation has to be that if
:07:28. > :07:33.there is less trade and less economic growth, it is worth
:07:34. > :07:38.investing in the British economy. In the spring, this Post Brexit future
:07:39. > :07:43.was expected by the IMS to be pretty bad the very, very bad, with severe
:07:44. > :07:50.regional and global damage. What they admit they were wrong? I think
:07:51. > :07:53.it was wise to warn against those possibilities, in fact I think it
:07:54. > :07:57.would have been malpractice not to think about those possibilities.
:07:58. > :08:01.Clearly central banks did think about those possibilities, they
:08:02. > :08:07.prepared for them, markets knew they were preparing for them, and I would
:08:08. > :08:13.credit that preparation in part for the mild response we ended up
:08:14. > :08:16.seeing. The IMF's deep anxiety is trade. Restrictions on immigration
:08:17. > :08:20.could lead to new trade barriers that could make the whole world
:08:21. > :08:22.worse off. For now though, that anxiety is a long way from being
:08:23. > :08:24.realised. Let's join Laura at the Conservative
:08:25. > :08:31.Party Conference in Birmingham. The Prime Minister talking to you
:08:32. > :08:35.about the economy and the importance of political stability to reassure
:08:36. > :08:39.the economy, another subject at the Tory conference has been
:08:40. > :08:45.immigration. Particularly from the Home Secretary? That's right, and
:08:46. > :08:49.one of the things the referendum showed the most politicians without
:08:50. > :08:53.doubt is the fact that have been high levels of anxiety about the
:08:54. > :08:57.levels of immigration, so although most of the banks to the Government
:08:58. > :09:02.right now is about our relationship with the European Union, today the
:09:03. > :09:05.Home Secretary Amber Rudd sets out ideas on how they might cut the
:09:06. > :09:10.numbers for people coming to Britain from other parts of the world. She
:09:11. > :09:14.suggested tightening the rules, making it harder for foreign
:09:15. > :09:18.students to study here, making it harder for businesses to bring in
:09:19. > :09:24.workers and give priority to British people to fill the vacancies they
:09:25. > :09:26.have got. Pretty quickly, both the business sector and universities
:09:27. > :09:31.suggested they were worried about that. They are concerned that more
:09:32. > :09:41.rules and regulations might make it hard for them to achieve what they
:09:42. > :09:43.want to achieve. But it is clear the new Home Secretary is following in
:09:44. > :09:46.the footsteps of her predecessor, of course the woman who is now the
:09:47. > :09:48.Prime Minister, and is pretty determined to try to continue to
:09:49. > :09:53.make the rules on immigration stricter and stricter. Remember too,
:09:54. > :09:58.the Government under Theresa May at the Home Office missed their own
:09:59. > :10:01.immigration target for six long years, and there was nothing
:10:02. > :10:03.suggested today that will dramatically change that overnight.
:10:04. > :10:05.Laura, thanks very much. The number of medical school places
:10:06. > :10:07.to train doctors in England The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,
:10:08. > :10:11.says that pledge will result Currently a quarter of NHS
:10:12. > :10:18.doctors come from abroad. The doctors' union, the BMA,
:10:19. > :10:20.has welcomed the announcement, but says it falls far
:10:21. > :10:33.short of what's needed. Training doctors, it is vital for
:10:34. > :10:38.the future of the NHS but right now there aren't enough of them and
:10:39. > :10:41.hospitals struggle to fill posts. That's why the Government has
:10:42. > :10:45.announced new plans to increase the number of places for medical
:10:46. > :10:49.students. Is it right that we continue to
:10:50. > :10:53.import so many doctors from much poorer countries that really need
:10:54. > :10:57.those doctors instead of training our own, home-grown doctors. I think
:10:58. > :11:01.this is an opportunity to do something we haven't done right for
:11:02. > :11:06.many decades. The Government wants the NHS to be self-sufficient in
:11:07. > :11:10.doctors in ten years. There are 6000 places in England every year for new
:11:11. > :11:18.students to start courses, from 28 team that will be increased to 7500.
:11:19. > :11:21.Of the qualified doctors now, about 25% are foreign. One university
:11:22. > :11:26.principal said she welcomed the new policy. In the short term we
:11:27. > :11:31.continue to rely on expertise from all over the world, and that will
:11:32. > :11:34.continue. I think we have got to say that moving towards a situation
:11:35. > :11:39.where we are more self sustainable has to be the right thing and we
:11:40. > :11:43.have to start somewhere. To try to ensure as many doctors as possible
:11:44. > :11:46.stay in the NHS ones they have finished their training, the
:11:47. > :11:49.Government will insist they do at least four years before considering
:11:50. > :11:55.a move elsewhere, and if not they pay back the taxpayer funded element
:11:56. > :12:00.of their training. The Government contribution is ?200,000 per student
:12:01. > :12:03.and I asked these first year medics at Saint Georges University of
:12:04. > :12:06.London what they thought. On the one hand it is fair because the
:12:07. > :12:11.Government are subsidising our degree, paying a lot for some of the
:12:12. > :12:16.things we do, but on the other hand I think maybe we should be looking
:12:17. > :12:21.at why people don't want to stay in the NHS. Personally I don't plan to
:12:22. > :12:24.move away, but I feel like if there are people that have options and
:12:25. > :12:27.plans to move away to other countries, it would cause problems
:12:28. > :12:33.for them because they would have to wait another four years in the UK.
:12:34. > :12:37.It is not clear how the new rules will apply to doctors wanting to
:12:38. > :12:41.move to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The additional doctors
:12:42. > :12:44.won't be qualified until the middle of the next decade, and the British
:12:45. > :12:48.Medical Association said the announcement fell far short of what
:12:49. > :12:53.was needed, and poor planning by the Government meant the health service
:12:54. > :12:54.was facing huge, predictable staff shortages now.

:13:48. > :13:51.particular tasks. But there is another unseen world of materials
:13:52. > :13:55.that don't behave in ways you would expect and research into that world
:13:56. > :14:00.was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics today. Three scientists born
:14:01. > :14:09.in Britain recognised for making some strange and complicated
:14:10. > :14:14.discoveries. One of the judges resorted to using pastries to
:14:15. > :14:22.explain their work. How materials can change their characteristics at
:14:23. > :14:30.the smallest of scales. One of the winners was Duncan Haldane,
:14:31. > :14:36.applauded by his students. He said fundamental research could lead to
:14:37. > :14:40.unpredictable benefits. Science goes by people exploring where they want
:14:41. > :14:42.to go and sometimes they find something good, and sometimes that
:14:43. > :14:47.leads the technology so we don't know where it will go, so it is
:14:48. > :14:51.important people should follow their dream basically, and not be
:14:52. > :14:54.constrained to work on something that the funding agency thinks is
:14:55. > :14:56.going to be in the national interest.
:14:57. > :14:58.So, what's this Nobel Prize for Physics been awarded for?
:14:59. > :15:01.Well, it's all about revealing that materials can exist in states that
:15:02. > :15:07.So take water - when heated, it's in the form of steam.
:15:08. > :15:10.A little cooler and it becomes a liquid that you can drink.
:15:11. > :15:12.Colder still and it freezes into ice.
:15:13. > :15:15.But it turns out that when the temperature is even lower,
:15:16. > :15:20.materials can exist in another whole range of different states
:15:21. > :15:23.in which they behave in ways that aren't expected.
:15:24. > :15:28.For example, allowing electricity to flow without stopping.
:15:29. > :15:31.And if this can be controlled, new, much faster computers
:15:32. > :15:33.may be on the cards, so this research is seen
:15:34. > :15:46.It is a theoretical results, but if you want to apply materials to
:15:47. > :15:50.modern technology for example, future generations of smartphones,
:15:51. > :15:57.you cannot do it without having an understanding of what these
:15:58. > :16:00.materials will do. Duncan Haldane and his fellow prizewinners were
:16:01. > :16:03.once seen out on a limb with their research, now it is seen as
:16:04. > :16:10.mainstream and they are looking for their next challenge.

:17:30. > :17:31.killing hundreds of thousands of songbirds on the base here.
:17:32. > :17:34.They hear what they're looking for, the song of a bird.

:26:23. > :26:25.telling our stories. Good film directors, good writers could tell
:26:26. > :26:29.our stories and they're not being heard. They're not being
:26:30. > :26:34.commissioned. I think you said you were going to stop making movies? I
:26:35. > :26:38.said it in a moment of weakness. How am I going to get through this
:26:39. > :26:42.again? Actually, I did. Then you... Well, there are so many stories to
:26:43. > :26:46.tell, aren't there, really? It sounds like the 80-year-old director
:26:47. > :26:53.will continue to tell them. We hear it. If you do it realistically, it
:26:54. > :26:55.sounds right. Will Gompertz, BBC News, Newcastle.

:27:43. > :27:45.drizzly hour overnight as the cloud thickens up. The cloud and the
:27:46. > :27:49.breeds will keep a benefit up. Not as cold as it has been across the
:27:50. > :27:53.last couple of nights. One or two rural spots down to single figures.
:27:54. > :27:57.A fresh start. It could be a dull start where you are. I think the
:27:58. > :28:01.breeze will have to break up the cloud with time. There will be
:28:02. > :28:07.increasing amounts of sunshine. The sun will vary from place to place.
:28:08. > :28:11.Some will be cloudier than others. Not a bad day if you get out of the
:28:12. > :28:15.breeze. Temperatures lower than they have been in the last couple of
:28:16. > :28:20.days. In the sunshine, not feeling too bad. The high pressure will be
:28:21. > :28:27.during the week. We will import cooler air. Temperatures will be
:28:28. > :28:31.falling away through the second-half of this week. There will be an edge
:28:32. > :28:35.to that breeze, the cloud thicker too. One or two showers to southern
:28:36. > :28:39.and eastern parts of the UK. Still a lot of dry weather. Out of the
:28:40. > :28:43.breeze OK, yes, beginning to feeling chilly. To sum the rest of this
:28:44. > :28:47.week, a lot of dry weather. It will be quite breezy at times and will
