:01:50. > :01:51.The government has finally published its long awaited plans

:02:40. > :02:46.VOICEOVER: Has nothing changed? Still doing the handshakes, rolling
:02:47. > :02:51.out the red carpet for royalty, Spanish, this time. Still embarking
:02:52. > :02:56.on the task of taking us out of the European Union. No, everything has
:02:57. > :03:03.changed, for the first time today, the Prime Minister explaining her
:03:04. > :03:06.shock at the election. I felt, I suppose, devastated, because, as I
:03:07. > :03:10.say, I knew the campaign was not going perfectly, but still, the
:03:11. > :03:14.messages I was getting from people I was speaking to, but also, the
:03:15. > :03:17.comments we were getting back from a lot of people, that were being
:03:18. > :03:22.passed on to me, were that we were going to get a better result than we
:03:23. > :03:30.did. Devastated another to shed a tear? Well... Yes, a little tear.
:03:31. > :03:36.Yes. At that moment? Yes, at that moment, yes. And then you have two
:03:37. > :03:40.brush yourself down. You have a responsibility, you are a human
:03:41. > :03:44.being, you have been through the experience. I was there as leader of
:03:45. > :03:48.the party and Prime Minister. I had a responsibility then as we went
:03:49. > :03:53.through the night to determine what we were going to do the next
:03:54. > :04:01.morning. Presentation of Bill. It will not get any easier... Today,
:04:02. > :04:05.the bill that will legally take us out of the European Union arrived in
:04:06. > :04:09.Parliament. Broadly, the withdrawal bill cuts and pastes thousands of EU
:04:10. > :04:16.laws that govern so much right now into British law. As we leave, they
:04:17. > :04:21.will not apply. With Theresa May's shaky grip, MPs will inevitably try
:04:22. > :04:25.to make big changes. I think there is a big understanding out among
:04:26. > :04:28.ministers, across-the-board, that there will need to be a bit of
:04:29. > :04:38.compromise, there will need to be inevitable changes. Many ministers
:04:39. > :04:44.the withdrawal bill is such a huge undertaking, it gives ministers the
:04:45. > :04:47.power to change or strike out swathes of regulation without
:04:48. > :04:53.guaranteeing MPs a say. This bill as it stands would give ministers like
:04:54. > :04:57.you sweeping powers to change, get rid of bits and pieces of regulation
:04:58. > :05:04.that you do not like, without MPs having a guaranteed vote and full
:05:05. > :05:08.debate. These are hardly massive changes, they are technical changes
:05:09. > :05:11.to make the law work. It is up to the House of Commons, if a statutory
:05:12. > :05:15.instrument is placed in the House of Commons, then they have to decide.
:05:16. > :05:20.But they are not guaranteed vote unless today you want to give them a
:05:21. > :05:25.guarantee...? That is in the Hall of the House of Commons, what it
:05:26. > :05:28.chooses to vote on. It is not just a ministerial signature, it is a
:05:29. > :05:38.statutory instrument, which can be debated and voted upon. Labour is
:05:39. > :05:42.making its own way. Asking for its own meetings in Brussels, trying to
:05:43. > :05:50.get the EU's negotiator onside. A football shirt! Playing for Arsenal!
:05:51. > :05:54.Although it may take more than an Arsenal shirt to do that, but there
:05:55. > :05:58.is no way, as it stands, that Labour will back the bill. We will make
:05:59. > :06:03.sure there is full Parliamentary scrutiny, that has to be key to it,
:06:04. > :06:07.we have a Parliament where the government does not have a majority
:06:08. > :06:11.and the country has voted in two ways, on leave and remain, the
:06:12. > :06:15.majority voted to leave, we respect that but they did not vote to lose
:06:16. > :06:19.jobs, they did not vote to have Parliament ridden roughshod over.
:06:20. > :06:24.Nor will the Scottish Government, Nicola Sturgeon with their own Kodak
:06:25. > :06:29.moment in Brussels today, the Scottish Parliament cannot
:06:30. > :06:33.technically veto the plan, but it can refuse consent. As the bill
:06:34. > :06:37.stands now, in good conscience I could not recommend to the Scottish
:06:38. > :06:41.Parliament that against legislative consent... It takes hours away and
:06:42. > :06:44.undermines the very foundations of the devolution settlement that the
:06:45. > :06:48.parliament is built on. As Whitehall begins this enormous process,
:06:49. > :06:52.ministers are all too well aware that there will be conflict ahead.
:06:53. > :06:57.The question, how they balance compromise and hang onto their
:06:58. > :07:01.credibility. And what ends up on the statute books does not just sit on
:07:02. > :07:03.the shelf, but shapes how ministers govern, how we live our lives.
:07:04. > :07:11.STUDIO: Laura is in Westminster. Challenging path ahead. Yes,
:07:12. > :07:16.Minister is all too well aware that the chances of getting this through
:07:17. > :07:19.without making concessions are slim to none. The political decision is
:07:20. > :07:24.when they start compromising. And what areas are they prepared to
:07:25. > :07:28.budge. -- ministers. On some parts of this huge undertaking, there is
:07:29. > :07:37.an air of flexibility around, David Davis suggested that the government
:07:38. > :07:41.might pursue a social membership of Euratom, which is the membership
:07:42. > :07:45.safety union is part of being part of the European Union, bundling is
:07:46. > :07:51.about eight rebellion in the air and we may look at an association way of
:07:52. > :07:55.staying in. -- about a rebellion in the air. He also talked about
:07:56. > :08:00.arbitration mechanism, jargon about panels of judges from around Europe
:08:01. > :08:03.and Britain, a way of getting around a difficult problem where Britain
:08:04. > :08:07.wants its judges to be in charge of everything and Brussels wants
:08:08. > :08:11.European judges to be in charge of everything. There are some areas
:08:12. > :08:16.where we start to see the government bend a little bit, why is that?
:08:17. > :08:20.Because they know they have two, they are up against the clock,
:08:21. > :08:25.ticking louder and louder, and of course, since the election, their
:08:26. > :08:32.authority has taken a knock. -- because they know they have to.
:08:33. > :08:35.An American doctor has told the High Court that a trial therapy
:08:36. > :08:37.in the States could give a chance of meaningful improvement
:08:38. > :08:40.to the condition of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard.
:08:41. > :08:43.His parents returned to court today for the latest stage of their legal
:08:44. > :08:46.Now the judge is considering whether to ask the American
:08:47. > :08:49.specialist to come to the UK to assess the baby's condition.
:08:50. > :08:55.Our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.
:08:56. > :09:00.VOICEOVER: They call themselves Charlie 's Army, some of the half a
:09:01. > :09:04.million people who have signed a petition calling for him to be
:09:05. > :09:10.allowed abroad for spamming treatment. Chris Carter and Connie
:09:11. > :09:21.Yates reject evidence from Charlie's doctors that their son has
:09:22. > :09:26.irreversible brain damage. -- Chris Gard. We love him more than life
:09:27. > :09:31.itself, if he is still fighting, we are still fighting. Charlie is
:09:32. > :09:34.terminally, cannot move or breathe unaided, four courts have already
:09:35. > :09:38.ruled that he should be allowed to die. The evidence came from video
:09:39. > :09:43.link from the American doctor offering to treat Charlie, he says
:09:44. > :09:48.he now has a better understanding of the benefits of the therapy, of nine
:09:49. > :09:54.patients treated so far, none of whom have the same genetic mutation
:09:55. > :09:57.as Charlie, five now spend less time each day on a ventilator and one of
:09:58. > :10:02.them could breathe completely unaided. This led him to conclude
:10:03. > :10:13.that there was at least a 10% chance of meaningful improvement for
:10:14. > :10:18.Charlie. Six-year-old as a muscle wasting condition and is one of
:10:19. > :10:25.those treated in the US with this therapy, a powder which is added to
:10:26. > :10:27.food. We are able to give in the medication. Little by little he
:10:28. > :10:36.started to get stronger. They gave us hope. I did not care if he was
:10:37. > :10:39.the first human to try these medications, because they told us he
:10:40. > :10:43.was going to die. At one point, Charlie's parents walked out of
:10:44. > :10:49.court after the judge said they agreed their son has no quality of
:10:50. > :10:53.life. Connie Yates said, he is not suffering or in pain. In a
:10:54. > :10:57.statement, great Ormond Street said, Charlie is a beautiful tiny baby,
:10:58. > :11:02.afflicted by one of the crew list of diseases. Is depleted genetic
:11:03. > :11:06.disorder leaves in with no muscle function at all and deprived of his
:11:07. > :11:12.senses, unable to breathe, and so far as can be discerned, without any
:11:13. > :11:15.awareness. A final decision of the court is aimed to be in the best
:11:16. > :11:20.interests of Charlie, that would be a balance of the many risks and
:11:21. > :11:24.benefits. It is not black and white but it will be a summation of all
:11:25. > :11:27.the possible benefits and all the possible risks and what that could
:11:28. > :11:31.do for Charlie, not what it does for anybody else. Charlie remains in
:11:32. > :11:37.intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital, his future
:11:38. > :11:42.unresolved, as the legal arguments drag on.
:11:43. > :11:44.STUDIO: It's being hailed as the biggest shake up
:11:45. > :11:47.of ambulance response times in England in 40 years.
:11:48. > :11:50.At the moment, when an urgent 999 call is received,
:11:51. > :11:53.the call handlers have to decide within 60 seconds whether or not
:11:54. > :11:57.The upshot is that a quarter of ambulances end up being stood
:11:58. > :11:59.down when it turns out they're not needed.
:12:00. > :12:02.Now call handlers are going to be given more time to assess
:12:03. > :12:05.to try to make the system more efficient.
:12:06. > :12:17.Just breathe normally for me. Paramedics in the West Midlands with
:12:18. > :12:22.a 92-year-old patient, after a checkup, they decided it was safe to
:12:23. > :12:25.leave him at home. The Ambulance Service is under great pressure, the
:12:26. > :12:29.current system allows too many vehicles to go to urgent cases,
:12:30. > :12:36.leaving other patients waiting far too long, major changes are now
:12:37. > :12:40.planned. The new way of working will mean that we can identify and get to
:12:41. > :12:43.the sickest patients faster, that all patients will get the best
:12:44. > :12:49.response, rather than just the nearest. Under the current system of
:12:50. > :12:53.control room like this, call handlers have just 60 seconds to
:12:54. > :12:56.decide whether to dispatch an ambulance and whether it should be
:12:57. > :13:00.on a blue light for the most critically ill patients. The problem
:13:01. > :13:04.is, that sometimes is not long enough to decide the most
:13:05. > :13:09.appropriate response, and ambulances can be dispatched unnecessarily.
:13:10. > :13:13.That decision time will be axed ended for serious but not
:13:14. > :13:17.life-threatening cases, under the current system, the target is for an
:13:18. > :13:21.ambulance to arrive at 75% of the most urgent cases in eight minutes,
:13:22. > :13:25.no target for those calls last as lower priority. Under the new
:13:26. > :13:30.system, more people will be classed as the most urgent and the target
:13:31. > :13:35.will be 90% seen within 15 minutes. New targets for lower priority
:13:36. > :13:38.calls. Service leaders say some people needing urgent care will have
:13:39. > :13:41.to wait longer. But they can be more certain of getting the right
:13:42. > :13:47.response, an ambulance team, for example, rather than a paramedic on
:13:48. > :13:53.a motorcycle. The system as it is failed the family of Willie Wynn,
:13:54. > :13:56.his daughter had a heart condition, she had arbitration, he called 990
:13:57. > :14:04.96 times and nothing came, it was too late to save her. Had people had
:14:05. > :14:12.a broken arm or a broken leg, then it would have been different. -- he
:14:13. > :14:17.called 999 six times. This was an emergency. The local ambulance
:14:18. > :14:22.trust, South Central, said it extended condolences to the family,
:14:23. > :14:26.at the time, many of its resources were tied up elsewhere. And what
:14:27. > :14:30.time did this start today? Reforms have already been introduced in
:14:31. > :14:34.Wales, a pilot scheme underway in Scotland. Trials in England suggest
:14:35. > :14:41.more ambulances can be freed up to get to a wider range of patients.
:14:42. > :14:47.The real test will come this winter when it is introduced nationally.
:14:48. > :14:53.STUDIO: The parent company of Southern Rail has been fined more
:14:54. > :14:56.after widespread delays and cancellations to services.
:14:57. > :14:58.The Department for Transport says the amount would have been much
:14:59. > :15:01.higher, but most of the problems were caused by strike action
:15:02. > :15:05.A former soldier who raped and killed a fifteen year
:15:06. > :15:07.old schoolgirl has been found guilty of her manslaughter more
:15:08. > :15:14.Stephen Hough killed Janet Commins in Flint in North Wales, in 1976.

:15:26. > :15:29.The next step in the Brexit journey - the government publishes its plans
:15:30. > :15:35.We tell you how you can have a whale of a time

:15:39. > :15:41.As well as the reaction to Johanna Konta's exit, there's
:15:42. > :15:57.losing the yellow jersey on stage 12 of the Tour de France.
:15:58. > :16:00.Johanna Konta's dream of becoming the first British woman to reach
:16:01. > :16:03.the Wimbledon finals in almost 40 years is over.
:16:04. > :16:05.She's crashed out of the championships after being beaten
:16:06. > :16:07.in straight sets by the five time champion Venus Williams.
:16:08. > :16:16.Joe Wilson was watching the match on centre court.
:16:17. > :16:22.Everyone knows your name, everyone wants your name. That's the
:16:23. > :16:26.Wimbledon effect. Johanna Konta ushered towards the biggest match of
:16:27. > :16:31.her career, for her the attention is all new. For Venus Williams it's
:16:32. > :16:35.been her life. 20 years at Wimbledon, two decades competing for
:16:36. > :16:43.the biggest titles. Venus has seen it all, returned it all, but
:16:44. > :16:46.Konta... Not appear to be intimidated. Konta created an
:16:47. > :16:55.opportunity in the first set, break point in the ninth game. Venus held.
:16:56. > :17:00.And then the pressure. Konta's rock-solid serve was suddenly shaky.
:17:01. > :17:06.These were the points she had to make. Out, break, set gone. Venus
:17:07. > :17:11.taking care of business. For Konta the methodical, the reliable, the
:17:12. > :17:16.match was disappearing. Double fault and broken in the second set. Now
:17:17. > :17:22.said to court yearned for the Konta we had seen in previous rounds, this
:17:23. > :17:28.kind of thing. Now come on, it's a lovely afternoon, we would like to
:17:29. > :17:32.stay here for a bit longer please. This match lasted one hour 14
:17:33. > :17:38.minutes, second set 6-2, Williams too good, to composed when it
:17:39. > :17:44.mattered. Overwhelmed by Williams at Wimbledon, it has happened before
:17:45. > :17:50.but we didn't expect it from Konta. Quite honestly I think I was in just
:17:51. > :17:55.as much of a shot of winning the tournament. It came down to the day
:17:56. > :18:00.and Venus played better than me. That's all I can say, I think I've
:18:01. > :18:04.definitely got more to improve on and there's more exciting things I
:18:05. > :18:07.can get better at. She's going to be disappointed but at the same time
:18:08. > :18:12.when she can wake up in a few days and get perspective of what she has
:18:13. > :18:16.accomplished, she's shown tremendous improvement and that is so positive
:18:17. > :18:23.for her. Venus was in tears last week speaking about events at home,
:18:24. > :18:34.the car accident. Now at 37, she has another final at a place she loves.
:18:35. > :18:37.I thought the crowd was very nice to me. They could have been even more
:18:38. > :18:42.boisterous, I thought the crowd was so fair and I know they love Jo.
:18:43. > :18:46.It's a lot of pressure on she handled it well, I think my
:18:47. > :18:49.experience helped a lot. So now Johanna Konta has a new experience
:18:50. > :18:55.to deal with, to recover from defeat in the match of her life.
:18:56. > :19:00.Johanna Konta is ranked as one of the world's best players but the
:19:01. > :19:07.future offers no guarantees of another place like this one. To see
:19:08. > :19:11.the power of self belief, just look at Venus Williams.
:19:12. > :19:13.The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has welcomed
:19:14. > :19:17.Donald Trump to Paris at the start of a two-day visit.
:19:18. > :19:30.Tomorrow President Trump will attend Bastille Day celebrations.
:19:31. > :19:35.Today Mr Trump said his son was a wonderful young man who met the
:19:36. > :19:37.Russian lawyer, not a Russian government lawyer.
:19:38. > :19:39.From Paris, Lucy Williamson reports.
:19:40. > :19:41.If diplomacy is about power disguised as flattery,
:19:42. > :19:47.there are few more potent greetings than a ten second handshake.
:19:48. > :19:50.Emmanuel Macron welcomed Donald Trump today with a visit to the tomb
:19:51. > :19:51.of France's grand military leader, Napoleon.
:19:52. > :19:57.The impressive location designed to flatter both visitor and host.
:19:58. > :19:59.Both these two men see themselves as modern-day
:20:00. > :20:08.political revolutionaries, sweeping away the old rules
:20:09. > :20:12.but Mr Macron also sees nothing wrong with using France's
:20:13. > :20:14.imperial history and military might to put its current diplomatic
:20:15. > :20:24.The two men have been battling for the role of alpha male ever
:20:25. > :20:26.since their first handshake on the sidelines of a G7 summit.
:20:27. > :20:30.Donald Trump later pulled out of a key climate change
:20:31. > :20:34.deal brokered in Paris, prompting Mr Macron to issue
:20:35. > :20:36.a video parodying the US President's campaign slogan.
:20:37. > :20:46.But since then Emmanuel Macron has been trying to charm the US leader
:20:47. > :20:50.to keep ties close and boost France's influence aboard.
:20:51. > :20:52.So what do French voters think of Mr Trump's visit?
:20:53. > :20:55.I don't like him much, but what do I have to say?
:20:56. > :21:08.Thank God! Having some time with him and trying to understand what he
:21:09. > :21:12.wants and where he's going is not a bad idea, even if he does not
:21:13. > :21:17.appreciate him as a person or what he stands for so I think French

:26:53. > :26:55.Anglia. South of that it will remain dry with temperatures are little
:26:56. > :27:00.higher than last night but still shave a few degrees of this if you
:27:01. > :27:06.are in the countryside. Tomorrow a few showers to begin with, but a lot
:27:07. > :27:10.of them will fade out. We will keep a good deal of plant during the day,
:27:11. > :27:15.the afternoon looks dry and there will be sunny breaks at times. The

:27:47. > :27:50.cloud around, and from that cloud some outbreaks of rain gradually
:27:51. > :27:55.pushing eastwards. Not much rain in the far south of England and quite a
:27:56. > :28:03.few midfield to things. For two of the weekend on Sunday, fresher and
:28:04. > :28:09.brighter. A weak band of cloud on some -- and some spots of rain.
:28:10. > :28:13.That's how the weekend is shaping up and of course you can get a forecast
:28:14. > :28:20.for where you are and where you are going online and through the art. A
