February. the Northern Ireland Secretary James

Brokenshire has announced that a snap election will be

held after the collapse of the power sharing

Government at Stormont. Sinn Fein refused to nominate

a new Deputy First Minister, to replace Martin McGuinness,

who resigned a week ago in a dispute Our Chief Correspondent,

Gavin Hewitt, reports. For ten years, power has been shared

in Northern Ireland. It was one of the foundation

stones of peace. Today, that power-sharing

government collapsed. I propose that a draft order

in Council be brought forward shortly to set an election date

of Thursday the 2nd of March. No one should underestimate

the challenge faced to the political institutions

here in Northern Ireland The trigger for the breakdown

was a row over a controversial green energy scheme drawn up by Unionist

minister, Arlene Foster. But the bitter arguments over

the scheme exposed growing tensions between nationalist

and Unionist politicians. I think it's both parties,

personally, and I find it very disappointing

and very, very sad. It's the tribal politics, you know,

I feel like we're back in the '80s and I was really hopeful that future

generations would have There's no appetite for a return

to any sort of violence at any stage I think possibly what will happen

is we will be led to another couple At Stormont the Northern Ireland

Assembly depends on Unionists Today, both main parties were asked

to submit a name for one First up, the Democratic

Unionist party. And they backed

their current leader. ..Nominate Arlene Foster

to be the First Minister. There can be no return

to the status quo. If something is broke,

you stop and you fix it, But they refused to put

forward a name, so ending Without an Executive,

key areas of government will be stalled and then,

most importantly, there is Brexit. Where will be the Northern Ireland

voice when crucial We are in a very grave situation

going into this election and the timing of it,

when Northern Ireland has no budget agreed,

when we're facing into Brexit and when we're also coming

to the end of the financial year, is possibly the worst time

that we could be entering Recent years have changed Northern

Ireland, but the shadows of the past Campaigning for the snap election

will begin almost immediately with the voter is going to the polls on

March the 2nd. But after that there will be three weeks or two weeks of

negotiations where they will try to work out whether they have a

foundation for future power-sharing agreement. What happens if they

fail, they could always go for further elections, or there is the

alternative of having direct rule from Westminster.

Thank you, Gavin. President elect Donald Trump appears

to have cheered the British government and annoyed some

of its European partners in equal Speaking to the Times Mr Trump

says Britain is doing great after the Brexit -

but he also added that other EU Thumbs up for Brexit for the man who

is to become the worst Paracel in the world. Former minister and

sometime reporter, Michael Gove, with Donald 's looking on. Countries

want their own identity and so did the UK but I believe if they had not

been forced to take in all of the refugees, so many, with all the

problems that entails, I think you would not have Brexit. For months

been less keen to see what -- to say what it really mean. Brexit means

Brexit. What is that again? Brexit means Brexit. In case you hadn't

heard. Brexit means Brexit. But ignore the platitudes, the big

decisions have been clear since June. There is no mandate for a deal

that involves accepting the free movement of people as it has

hitherto worked. Unlimited EU migration will not stay and neither

will the power of European judges. Judges sitting not in Luxembourg but

in courts across the line. Without them and charge it means we will be

out of the single market. People talk as if somehow we are leaving

the EU but still want to keep parts of membership. We are leaving. And

she even dressed up to make plain how doing business outside of Europe

will be more and more important. With an enthusiastic offer now from

state of doing a deal at speed. It is good news that the United States

wants to do a good free trade deal with us and wants to do it very

fast. Great to hear that from President-elect Donald Trump.

Spreading good cheer for Brexit backers ahead of the Prime

Minister's speech tomorrow. We will have the European Court of Justice

no longer overruling or laws and we will be outside the single market so

we can control our own borders and probably outside the customs union

so we can negotiate their own trade deals but the rest of the world.

This is the most crucial set of choices that any pie minister has

made four years and although the fundamentals were clear before she

moved in, there has been precious little detail in public about and

Theresa May's opponents fear she will disappoint because she's

juggling her party as well as the public. She has had to

overcompensate as a former Remainer to prove herself to her own party

and also she has no mandate of Rome, she has not been elected and is not

in a strong position and also she has really chosen only to listen to

the 52% of people who voted for Brexit and not the almost half of

them remaining part of the voting public who voted for a different

future. Tomorrow matters, Theresa May will tell us and them, the other

European countries, more about her decisions that will shape Britain

for decades to come. Her political hope, she and the country are not on

their way to isolation. I wonder if the comments from Donald

Trump are helpful to Theresa May ahead of the speech that she is to

make tomorrow. In one way it is a no-brainer, who would not want the

man who is about to become the most powerful in the world in their

corner, backing on Brexit, holding out the promise of a quick trade

deal, the kind of trade deal that will be vital to how the country and

its its living once were outside the EU. And how the previous government

under David Cameron remember reacted when President Obama said the

opposite, that would be at the back of the queue. That was treated as

some doom laden scenario so having this support is an advantage in some

ways. There's no question that the authority of the office of the White

House seeming to be on the side of Brexit is in many ways a good thing.

But that said President-elect Trump is though unorthodox that in one way

he is a bit like a grenade with the pin pulled out, and unpredictable

friend in the corner and you're never sure what his next move will

be. And his support could galvanise EU countries trying to stick

together to harden their attitude towards the UK in the negotiations

to come. Because were not meant to be doing trade deals with anyone

until we are actually on our way of the European Union so this is

powerful ammunition for Downing Street potentially, but only need to

be careful how they use it. Mr Trump didn't just

have the EU in his sights. He also said German Chancellor

Angela Merkel had made a catastrophic mistake by allowing

more than one million If that wasn't enough he said NATO

might be 'obsolete'. Little wonder that there's been some

terse comments from Berlin, Paris and Brussels -

as our diplomatic Correspondent They've rehearsed the inauguration

in Washington with a stand-in for President Trump but no-one knows

quite what to expect Still less what will happen

in the first 100 days with Donald Trump in the Oval

Office. What we do know is that there will

be nothing conventional about it. Because the President-elect has

made that very clear. Among his most eye-catching

new quotes, Donald Trump says the EU is on the brink of collapse partly

because Germany leader's Angela Merkel, made one very

catastrophic mistake with her open I think it was a big

mistake for Germany. Germany's Chancellor

good deals with Russia. As part of that, nuclear weapons

on both side should be It is true, both the United States

and Russia have more than enough missiles and warheads

to destroy each other. And Mr Trump hinted a nuclear

negotiations might involve offering Mr Putin easing of sanctions over

Ukraine. But Mr Trump was also highly

critical of Vladimir Putin's intervention in Syria,

calling it a very rough thing. The bombardment of Aleppo, he said,

was nasty, with troops, in his words, shooting old ladies

walking out of town. So, how to reconcile all of that

with the President-elect on Nato, Nato is "obsolete",

he keeps repeating. So, what could that mean

"dangerous" delays getting specialist treatment,

due to referral management centres The centres were designed

to reduce NHS spending, by limiting unnecessary

referrals to hospital. But the British Medical Association

says they create barriers and take And the BBC has found many

referrals were refused due to administration errors,

rather than clinical reasons. If a GP refers you for a hospital

checkup or treatment, you might think it would happen

automatically, but in some areas, the decision has to be vetted

by another organisation, And that's the subject

of a growing controversy. Tracy used to find everyday

household chores a nightmare, in constant pain because

of her varicose veins. I was in so much pain

with my leg, 24 hours a day. I was struggling to

get through my work. Her GP recommended an operation

on the NHS, but this was barred by the referral centre,

so she had to get it done privately. If a GP feels that a specialist

needs to look at you then the NHS should be supporting that

and they're not. Research by the BBC has revealed

an increase in the use There are about 13 and

a half million referrals Last year, about two million

were screened by referral More than 84,000 were rejected,

for clinical reasons And that's not to say

that we don't need to perhaps But I would rather it

was done explicitly. And that the public were involved,

rather than every purchasing authority making its own individual

decisions and sometimes choosing The logic of the system is that

at a time of rising patients demand and stretched resources,

local health commissioners have a mechanism for scrutinising

decisions, which could lead They acknowledge that once

you've taken on board the costs of the centres,

there's no way yet of assessing whether they do

provide value for money. Some local health bodies

are limiting certain types of care. The referral centres

are reinforcing those decisions. So it's really important

the resources we have, And get the best value

for our population. Best value for money

or bad news for patients? There's limited use

of this system in Wales. It's not part of the health service

generated a lively debate. And there will be special programmes

for the pound with the dollar exchange rate for holidaymakers

than 30 years, though it recovered a little

Simon Gompertz is in Central London. Not an easy time to be thinking

about having a holiday abroad? A big worry if you are thinking of an

overseas trip. The pound suffering from those concerns about the

financial effects of Brexit. One of the biggest currency chains of shops

TraveleX said its rate for online customers, using pounds to buy

dollars worth $1 for each pound. That is down from $1 before the

Brexit vote. You could shop around and get a slightly better or

slightly worse rate but it shows you the trend. It is not only the lowest

rate since the referendum, it's the lowest since the mid-19 80s. It goes

wider than that. Some holiday companies have been imposing

surcharges because of the currency effect. In the travel industry,

there are warnings about price increases for the summer holidays of

around 10%. Although you won't pay that if you stay in the UK. Thank

Sherlock Holmes himself. Who leaked a copy of the final

episode of the BBC's The fact that it was dubbed

into Russian is a major clue. But was it criminal

piracy, done for money? Calmly, Sherlock, or I will

finish her, right now. The last episode of Sherlock,

eagerly awaited by millions but on Saturday, a copy was leaked

online, dubbed into Russian. Everything up to this point has been

planned with the intention of presenting this programme,

this very important finale, as a global event, as a collective

community of fans coming together and very much experiencing

it for the first time. And this has put a big spanner

in the works of that. The Russian version

was widely shared online. The mystery, worthy

of an old-fashioned Sherlock Holmes One theory, the episode was put

online to damage the BBC, which the Kremlin doesn't much

like at present, because the Beeb's increasing its radio

broadcasts to Russia. Another theory, it's just somebody

trying to make money out Experts say film and television

piracy is widespread in Russia. And today, the mystery deepened

when the Russian state-owned state-owned television channel,

which broadcasts the series, denied responsibility

for the leak and claimed But who could the external

third party be? No-one seems to know

and the conspiracy theorists Unlike last week, the weather

shouldn't be making too many headlines this week but comments

about just how much cloud there is this week. This was one view from

of cloud. Some outbreaks of rain, a week Weatherford from the Midlands

England. Elsewhere, plenty of cloud other many places dry despite the

cloud. Some -- outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Look, that is in Scotland

across East Anglia and south-east England, it will be chilly. Tomorrow

night, quite a sharp frost. And. Elsewhere, we will keep the cloud

and keep temperatures for many well above freezing. This is the picture
