:01:58. > :02:00.Next week, on the 29th of March to be precise,
:02:01. > :02:02.Britain will begin the official process of leaving
:02:03. > :02:06.Theresa May will send a letter to the EU that will trigger up
:02:07. > :02:09.to two years of talks on the terms of Britain's exit.
:02:10. > :02:11.Ministers say it will be the most important
:02:12. > :02:14.No country has ever taken this step before and,
:02:15. > :02:16.as Vicki Young reports, much of what happens next
:02:17. > :02:26.She is stepping into Britain's most important negotiation for a
:02:27. > :02:30.generation. During a trip to Swansea, Theresa May said her aims
:02:31. > :02:33.were clear. Those include getting a good free trade deal and includes
:02:34. > :02:40.issues like continuing working together on security at the core of
:02:41. > :02:43.what we are doing. We are going to be out there negotiating hard,
:02:44. > :02:48.delivering on what the British people voted for. In Brussels they
:02:49. > :02:55.have been waiting for Britain to make its move. We are ready to begin
:02:56. > :02:58.negotiations. The president of the European Council tweeted he would
:02:59. > :03:05.respond swiftly next week with negotiating guidelines for the 27
:03:06. > :03:08.countries staying in the EU. What is the timetable ahead? The formal
:03:09. > :03:13.process of triggering Article 50 will happen on March the 29th when
:03:14. > :03:17.the Prime Minister sends a letter to Donald Tusk. Talks will start in May
:03:18. > :03:25.or June and the ghost hitters have up to two years to try a deal.
:03:26. > :03:29.Labour says the Prime Minister has failed to finalise any certainty of
:03:30. > :03:33.her plan. Across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, there is no unity
:03:34. > :03:37.of purpose. That means the prospect of crashing out of the EU without a
:03:38. > :03:46.deal is highly likely and that will be destructive for the economy. And
:03:47. > :03:50.turning our back on the trade area is a mistake. The very wealthy will
:03:51. > :03:55.be OK, because sadly they always are. But everybody else will
:03:56. > :04:00.struggle because they have decided to take us out of the European
:04:01. > :04:05.market, even though nobody was asked that in the referendum. Theresa May
:04:06. > :04:10.has a mammoth task, and negotiating a deal that doesn't punish the UK.
:04:11. > :04:15.Sorting out a trade deal that won't harm British businesses. And here in
:04:16. > :04:20.Parliament, numerous laws will be needed to set up new systems
:04:21. > :04:24.covering everything from immigration to fishing and farming. Ministers
:04:25. > :04:29.insist they are preparing for all eventualities, including leaving the
:04:30. > :04:35.EU with no deal, but they are optimistic about talks. It is in the
:04:36. > :04:41.interest, not just of the UK but the continuing EU that there should be a
:04:42. > :04:44.sensible resolution of our withdrawal. This Vogue magazine
:04:45. > :04:47.fashion shoot it shows a pensive Theresa May. She will embark on a
:04:48. > :04:49.much tougher assignment. Our Europe Editor Katya
:04:50. > :05:00.Adler is in Brussels. We have just seen what it means for
:05:01. > :05:06.Britain, I wonder what it means in Brussels? The mood here today has
:05:07. > :05:10.been very much a relief laced with regret. EU officials here and other
:05:11. > :05:14.EU countries really don't want the UK to lead. But since they have
:05:15. > :05:19.known but the UK intends to do for a long time, they have just wanted
:05:20. > :05:24.Britain to get on with it. Now they have a date where the process will
:05:25. > :05:29.start. As one source told me tonight, they are hoping they can
:05:30. > :05:33.downgrade Brexit from the EU issue, the just another EU issue they have
:05:34. > :05:37.to deal with. Brussels is grateful Theresa May didn't trigger Article
:05:38. > :05:42.50 this week just ahead of the EU is celebrating its 60th birthday on
:05:43. > :05:45.Saturday. The mood there will be resolutely positive and upbeat,
:05:46. > :05:51.looking towards the future rather than the fact one of its key members
:05:52. > :05:56.is leaving. But Brexit, of course, remains a big deal for the EU. There
:05:57. > :06:01.are worries that if Brexit goes well for the UK, that other countries
:06:02. > :06:06.might be tempted to walk out. But don't expect negotiations to go far,
:06:07. > :06:10.not until autumn. The EU wants to get elections in Germany and France
:06:11. > :06:12.out of the way first. Thank you very much.
:06:13. > :06:14.It is the question that has hung over Donald Trump's
:06:15. > :06:18.Did Russia help his election campaign and did anyone on his team
:06:19. > :06:21.Today, in a rare and extraordinary move,
:06:22. > :06:23.the FBI has confirmed they are investigating
:06:24. > :06:28.Intelligence chiefs have been testifying in front of US
:06:29. > :06:30.politicians and they've also said there is no evidence that
:06:31. > :06:33.Britain's GCHQ was involved in a wiretap on Donald Trump,
:06:34. > :06:35.contradicting a claim made by the president.
:06:36. > :06:42.Our North America Editor Jon Sopel was watching.
:06:43. > :06:51.The Kremlin has cast a long shadow over American politics in the last
:06:52. > :06:53.it. What is more less accepted, is that Russian intelligence hacked
:06:54. > :06:58.computers belonging to the Democratic party before the
:06:59. > :07:02.election. Before that, was there collusion before the Trump campaign
:07:03. > :07:06.and Moscow? The president said that is fake news. Then there's the
:07:07. > :07:12.allegation that Barack Obama tapped the phones in Trump Tower before the
:07:13. > :07:16.election, perhaps using British agents from GCHQ. Big questions for
:07:17. > :07:21.a big man. But six foot eight, James Komi stands head and shoulders above
:07:22. > :07:28.all around him. Would he stick his neck out today at this hearing? The
:07:29. > :07:32.answer, yes. The FBI is investigating the Russian
:07:33. > :07:36.government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. And
:07:37. > :07:41.that includes investigating the nature of any links of any
:07:42. > :07:45.individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian
:07:46. > :07:49.government, and whether there was any coordination between the
:07:50. > :07:53.campaign and Russia's efforts. On the detail of the investigation into
:07:54. > :07:58.Russian collusion is, he would not be drawn. But what about the
:07:59. > :08:02.President's claims, that his predecessor had wiretapped Trump
:08:03. > :08:06.Tower? Here, he was more forthcoming. With respect to the
:08:07. > :08:12.President's tweets at alleged wiretapping of him by the prior
:08:13. > :08:16.administration, I have no evidence to support those tweets. So
:08:17. > :08:23.President Obama could not unilaterally order a wiretap of
:08:24. > :08:28.anyone? No president could. The president accused Mr Obama and the
:08:29. > :08:36.FBI in engaging in McCarthyism, where you engaged in McCarthyism? I
:08:37. > :08:42.try to hard not engage in any isms of any kind. Then they asked him to
:08:43. > :08:49.answer questions about British involvement. Again, the response is
:08:50. > :08:54.unequivocal. Did you request your counterpart in GCHQ should wiretap
:08:55. > :08:59.Mr probably half of Mr Obama? No sir, and nor would I, that would be
:09:00. > :09:06.against the agreement that has been in place for decades. The
:09:07. > :09:16.President's said they wiretapped him and it has been called nonsense, do
:09:17. > :09:23.you agree? Yes, sir. There is a baseless claim that the British
:09:24. > :09:27.participated in a conspiracy against him? It does frustrate an ally of
:09:28. > :09:31.ours, but the resolution should be strong enough to deal with this.
:09:32. > :09:35.This has been uncomfortable for Donald Trump. But there may be
:09:36. > :09:39.solace, the enquiry could take months or years to be completed and
:09:40. > :09:41.in the meantime, he will seek to move the conversation on to move the
:09:42. > :09:51.conversation onto other subjects. John joined us from Washington. How
:09:52. > :09:56.damaging is this for Donald Trump? Any way you cut it, this was our
:09:57. > :10:01.core blimey moment. The idea that the FBI, the principal law in the
:10:02. > :10:05.agency is announcing it is investigating whether the Trump
:10:06. > :10:08.campaign acted in collusion with the Russian government to subvert the
:10:09. > :10:13.outcome of the election is extraordinary enough. Not only that,
:10:14. > :10:18.the FBI director goes on to say that what the president tweeted 16 days
:10:19. > :10:23.ago was incorrect, there was no wiretapping by Obama and there was
:10:24. > :10:31.no help from GCHQ. That leaves Donald Trump in an exposed position.
:10:32. > :10:33.He will say it is fake news, there was no collusion with the Russians.
:10:34. > :10:37.He is saying that before the FBI has reached its conclusion, like he
:10:38. > :10:41.wants to shape the field of play before that. He has announced he is
:10:42. > :10:43.to become a grandfather again, that might also take attention away.
:10:44. > :10:47.Thank you. Google has publicly apologised
:10:48. > :10:49.after online ads from some of Britain's best known brands
:10:50. > :10:52.appeared next to extremist material. Today Marks Spencer has become
:10:53. > :10:54.the latest company to pull online RBS, Lloyds and HSBC announced
:10:55. > :10:58.similar moves over the weekend. Google has promised to do more
:10:59. > :11:00.to address the issue, as our Media Editor
:11:01. > :11:07.Amol Rajan reports. Millions of videos are uploaded
:11:08. > :11:13.onto YouTube everyday. But they include material such
:11:14. > :11:16.as Jihadi propaganda and footage And yet these hate filled videos
:11:17. > :11:26.attract advertising, Here, a radical Islamist preacher
:11:27. > :11:33.is above a holiday advert. And here, fascists are twinned
:11:34. > :11:36.with an advert for a BBC programme. An anti-Semitic video,
:11:37. > :11:38.but the advert promotes Today, YouTube's owner
:11:39. > :11:47.Google apologised. You have probably read stories
:11:48. > :11:51.recently about some brands appearing against content that they didn't
:11:52. > :11:53.want to and in the Spotlight So we'll start by saying
:11:54. > :11:59.sorry, we apologise. When anything like that happens
:12:00. > :12:02.we don't want it to happen, you don't want it to happen
:12:03. > :12:05.and we take responsibility for it. A growing list of household names
:12:06. > :12:08.from banks to media organisations have said they will stop advertising
:12:09. > :12:12.with Google unless Broadcaster Channel 4 is one
:12:13. > :12:29.of those who paid Google But now it is angry at what has been
:12:30. > :12:31.happening. We specifically asked our adverts not appear alongside
:12:32. > :12:37.offensive videos, yet that is exactly what's happened. It is
:12:38. > :12:41.damaging for a brand like Channel 4 to have its adverts alongside
:12:42. > :12:45.neo-Nazi and homophobic videos, especially if, as it turns out the
:12:46. > :12:50.way Google operate their systems, with funding the organisations that
:12:51. > :12:53.made the videos in the first place. Advertisers like Channel 4 have
:12:54. > :12:57.helped to make Google one of the most powerful companies in the
:12:58. > :13:01.world. Now they are saying, with that power comes responsibility.
:13:02. > :13:06.Google has always said it is a technology company and not a media
:13:07. > :13:10.company. But some of its advertisers are now disagreeing. One of the most
:13:11. > :13:16.influential men in advertising says he's talking to his clients and the
:13:17. > :13:21.Google to find a solution. They have to make sure there is a white of
:13:22. > :13:25.sites where the advertising can go and a blacklist of where they cannot
:13:26. > :13:31.go. That is what we have to work on. I think we will get to a solution,
:13:32. > :13:35.there is too much at stake. Google says it is taking action but until
:13:36. > :13:38.they break the link between advertising and hate online,
:13:39. > :13:40.Internet giants face a level of scrutiny they are not used to. The
:13:41. > :13:46.backlash against big tech has begun. Home care companies have warned
:13:47. > :13:49.of a funding crisis that means they can't recruit or retain staff
:13:50. > :13:54.to meet growing demand. The BBC's Panorama programme

:14:11. > :14:19.Sian Lloyd reports. 82-year-old Shirley is stuck in
:14:20. > :14:25.hospital. She has been well enough to leave since January, but the
:14:26. > :14:28.package that will support her at home has been delayed. We are
:14:29. > :14:33.finding it hard because obviously we want the best care we can get for
:14:34. > :14:39.her. You think, there is loads out there, it should be easy, but it
:14:40. > :14:45.isn't. Across the UK, 6500 Acute Hospital beds are blocked by people

:14:52. > :14:54.care workers. Carers like Amanda, on zero hours contract and earns just
:14:55. > :15:00.above the living wage. She struggles to make ends meet. I did look into
:15:01. > :15:04.buying a house four years ago, but because I didn't have a contract,
:15:05. > :15:10.they wouldn't let me buy a house, or anything like that. It is hard.
:15:11. > :15:14.Amanda works a private care company and it cannot recruit enough staff
:15:15. > :15:20.to meet the man. Its owner says what some councils pay to provide care,
:15:21. > :15:24.often doesn't cover costs and in Conway, he has handed the contract
:15:25. > :15:27.back to the local council. We didn't think we could provide this level of
:15:28. > :15:34.service for that amount of money Conwy were offering. We were very
:15:35. > :15:38.reluctant to leave, but we had to. Conwy Council says it is committed
:15:39. > :15:42.to supporting vulnerable people in the community despite the
:15:43. > :15:50.challenges. It is not alone. A Freedom of Information Act concluded
:15:51. > :15:53.212 councils revealed almost 100 have had contracts handed back,

:16:01. > :16:07.budget, he says it is too little, too late. I have been giving a
:16:08. > :16:10.sticking plaster. If the system doesn't change, I don't think we

:22:29. > :22:30.succeed Jeremy Corbyn, to pick left-wing
:22:31. > :22:37.So, we may well face an election this year,
:22:38. > :22:40.and that will disrupt some of our plans, but we've
:22:41. > :22:44.still got to plan what we need to do next.

:24:29. > :24:33.It is hard to believe that a place as wet and windy as this tonight
:24:34. > :24:41.could have been the inspiration for such a beautiful song by Dame Vera
:24:42. > :24:45.Lynn, The White Cliffs Of Dover. It is also the place where friends of
:24:46. > :24:51.hers gathered to celebrate her 100th birthday. Speaking from her home in
:24:52. > :24:52.Sussex, Dame Vera Lynn said today that she was simply happy to be
:24:53. > :24:55.remembered. The face of defiance,
:24:56. > :24:58.blended with the voice of hope. 100 years of Dame Vera Lynn,
:24:59. > :25:01.rejected onto the last piece of England troops saw
:25:02. > :25:04.as they went to battle. Her heartbreaking lullabies
:25:05. > :25:10.became the soundtrack # Don't know where,
:25:11. > :25:21.don't know when... She soothed fears
:25:22. > :25:25.and stiffened resolve. But Dame Vera can still
:25:26. > :25:31.recall an early brush When she heard me sing, she says,
:25:32. > :25:39."No, I can't train that voice. So I said, "Well, thank you very
:25:40. > :25:52.much, madam," and left. Today, in Dover, above the cliffs
:25:53. > :25:55.that inspired one of her greatest songs, veterans and friends came
:25:56. > :25:59.to celebrate Dame Vera's milestone birthday,
:26:00. > :26:09.and recall her life-affirming sound. Her voice came through clear, and
:26:10. > :26:12.with it was the story as she sang. You listen to Vera's voice
:26:13. > :26:21.when you're in a jungle clearing, it takes that fright away by making
:26:22. > :26:24.you think of other parts in life,
:26:25. > :26:31.and your hopes for the future. The bracing winds of the Channel
:26:32. > :26:34.didn't deter a salute above the cliffs Dame Vera
:26:35. > :26:38.sang into immortality. A grand gesture for a grand
:26:39. > :26:40.dame, still on a journey that she continues to share
:26:41. > :27:04.with a grateful nation. I hope you haven't packed away your
:27:05. > :27:08.winter woollies just yet, because it is getting colder. This is the
:27:09. > :27:12.weather we are moving into right now. Some sunshine, but then the
:27:13. > :27:21.showers, rattling in on the cold wind. Cold air is coming down from
:27:22. > :27:24.the north-west, bringing in a rash of showers, chasing away their brain
:27:25. > :27:28.that we had earlier on. It has just cleared away from Dover. Clearer
:27:29. > :27:35.skies following, showers continuing overnight. As the air gets colder
:27:36. > :27:38.and colder, so the showers turn more and more wintry, more and more snow,
:27:39. > :27:41.particularly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. With those
:27:42. > :27:47.temperatures, we don't just have to worry about snow, we have to worry
:27:48. > :27:50.about icy conditions as well. Something to think about in the
:27:51. > :27:54.rush-hour tomorrow morning in the Scotland, and perhaps not only over
:27:55. > :28:00.the higher routes. The snow over the lower levels will tend to melt.
:28:01. > :28:03.Whilst many eastern areas start dry and sunny but cold, anywhere could
:28:04. > :28:10.catch a shower from late morning onwards. Most of them out towards
:28:11. > :28:16.the west. And gusty winds taking the edge off those poor temperatures.
:28:17. > :28:20.Something to bear in mind tomorrow evening, some wet weather developing
:28:21. > :28:23.across the south-west of England. Overnight, bumping up into that
:28:24. > :28:28.really cold air in Scotland, so we could get some more snow in southern
:28:29. > :28:33.Scotland and northern England for the rush-hour. We keep some wet
:28:34. > :28:37.weather going down the eastern side of England throughout Wednesday.
:28:38. > :28:42.Sunshine and showers following on. So this is what we have got over the
:28:43. > :28:47.next few days, a cold winter sky. Things changing, with high pressure
:28:48. > :28:48.building by the end of the week. It will be dry with more sunshine, but
:28:49. > :28:58.still some chilly nights. Our main headline... Theresa May
:28:59. > :29:04.says Britain will officially begin the Brexit process next week, on the
