:00:09. > :00:14.Waving goodbye to the European Union.

:00:15. > :00:17.Britain's Prime Minister says she won't hang around in starting

:00:18. > :00:43.We will invoke Article 50 no later than the end of March next year.

:00:44. > :00:46.A blow for Hungary's right-wing Prime Minister as exit polls

:00:47. > :00:48.suggest his referendum on EU migrant quotas has failed,

:00:49. > :00:52.The New York Times says it has documents suggesting Donald Trump

:00:53. > :00:54.could have legally avoided paying federal income tax

:00:55. > :00:59.And there's voting too in Colombia, the President casting his ballot

:01:00. > :01:18.on a peace deal between HIS government and the FARC rebels.

:01:19. > :01:21.The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has confirmed

:01:22. > :01:24.the government will begin the country's formal exit

:01:25. > :01:27.from the European Union by triggering Article 50 before

:01:28. > :01:32.She told the annual conference of her Conservative Party that

:01:33. > :01:36.a Great Repeal Act would undo the legislation which took Britain

:01:37. > :01:51.Carole Walker reports from the conference in Birmingham.

:01:52. > :01:59.Huge applause for Theresa May at her first party conference as Prime

:02:00. > :02:03.Minister. 100 days after the referendum, she said it was right

:02:04. > :02:07.for the government to have waited before triggering Article 50 to

:02:08. > :02:12.begin the formal negotiations, but she said she would not let things

:02:13. > :02:16.drag on too long. Let me be absolutely clear, there will be no

:02:17. > :02:23.unnecessary delays in invoking Article 50. We will invoke it when

:02:24. > :02:31.we are ready and will be ready soon. We will invoke Article 50 no later

:02:32. > :02:34.than the end of March next year. Alongside the negotiations, the

:02:35. > :02:38.legal process. The Prime Minister promised a great repeal bill to

:02:39. > :02:44.remove the act that brought us into the community -- European Community,

:02:45. > :02:56.which will transfer EU laws into UK law is. Our laws will be made not in

:02:57. > :03:00.Brussels but in Westminster. The judges interpreting those laws will

:03:01. > :03:09.set not in Luxembourg but in courts in this country. The authority of EU

:03:10. > :03:14.law in Britain will end. She had a direct message to those suggesting

:03:15. > :03:18.the Brexit vote would trigger a second referendum on Scottish

:03:19. > :03:23.independence. We will negotiate as one United Kingdom and we will leave

:03:24. > :03:28.the European Union as one United Kingdom. There is no opt out from

:03:29. > :03:32.Brexit and I will never allow divisive nationalists to undermine

:03:33. > :03:39.the precious union between the four nations of our United Kingdom. Many

:03:40. > :03:42.here are delighted that she is demonstrating the government getting

:03:43. > :03:48.on with the process of reading the EU. But there are some big

:03:49. > :03:52.questions. The Prime Minister has set out some of the practical steps

:03:53. > :03:58.under underway to take us out of the EU. She rejected the idea of a

:03:59. > :04:01.trade-off between access to your's single market and controlling

:04:02. > :04:10.immigration, but she still hasn't told us what terms she would demand

:04:11. > :04:14.for a future Brexit deal. Outside the conference, campaigners who want

:04:15. > :04:18.Britain to stay in the EU staged a protest. The Prime Minister made it

:04:19. > :04:22.clear there would be no going back, no second referendum after the

:04:23. > :04:26.biggest vote for change this country has ever known. But two years of

:04:27. > :04:29.tough negotiations will determine what that will mean for voters on

:04:30. > :04:34.both sides of the continuing argument.

:04:35. > :04:47.Has Theresa May's speech gone down well elsewhere in Europe? I asked

:04:48. > :04:54.our European editor in Budapest. The European Commission which will be

:04:55. > :05:00.key in those negotiations says it will not comment formally. It has

:05:01. > :05:05.been met politely with a slight shrug of the shoulders. She will

:05:06. > :05:10.launch those Brexit Torts by the end of March. That is six months away

:05:11. > :05:16.and in the meantime, EU leaders are waiting impatiently. They don't know

:05:17. > :05:22.what type of Brexit she wants and they have another dose of crises

:05:23. > :05:29.such as migration and Eurozone woes. We learnt a bit about what happened

:05:30. > :05:34.teas are, including securing of Britain's borders. How has that gone

:05:35. > :05:39.down there? As far as the EU is concerned, this is the time when the

:05:40. > :05:45.ball is in Theresa May's court. She decides the date when talks start

:05:46. > :05:51.and she tells the EU what type of Brexit she wants. But once the talks

:05:52. > :05:54.start, the clock starts ticking and then Brussels feels it has the upper

:05:55. > :06:01.hand because as it has foreseen, there are only two macro years given

:06:02. > :06:06.to Britain not just to get the future trade till it wants, or any

:06:07. > :06:11.regulation on borders, but also it needs to use that time to untangle

:06:12. > :06:17.itself from 43 years of UK EU relations.

:06:18. > :06:19.More than 98% of voters in Hungary have rejected EU migrant

:06:20. > :06:34.It is a result the president says is outstanding and cannot be ignored

:06:35. > :06:35.but legally give vote changes nothing because the turnout was less

:06:36. > :06:49.than 50%. This is a referendum which Viktor

:06:50. > :06:54.Orban wants to win and win well. He planned it as the cherry on the cake

:06:55. > :06:59.of his campaign against illegal migration and to launch a new role

:07:00. > :07:07.for himself on the European stage. If the lesson win, win to resign?

:07:08. > :07:11.Yes. Referendum in Hungary lead a 50% turnout to be legally binding.

:07:12. > :07:16.There were signs this one will not reach that but the overwhelming

:07:17. > :07:20.majority of those who did take part voted no to compulsory migrant

:07:21. > :07:25.critters. That could allow President Orban to claim at least a partial

:07:26. > :07:34.victory. I voted no because I am afraid that it will damage our

:07:35. > :07:38.culture or our religion. Opponents of the government had three choices.

:07:39. > :07:46.To vote yes to migrant critters, to boycott the referendum altogether or

:07:47. > :07:57.to spoil their vote. Over 1000 refugees is not a big deal. I think

:07:58. > :08:00.we have to help with these people. The Hungarian government has

:08:01. > :08:05.insisted throughout the refugee crisis that Europe fortify its outer

:08:06. > :08:09.borders. This referendum was an attempt to refocus the debate on the

:08:10. > :08:13.asylum seekers who have already arrived. Should they be

:08:14. > :08:17.redistributed to many countries as the European Commission wants or be

:08:18. > :08:29.treated as illegal immigrants as a Viktor Orban suggests?

:08:30. > :08:31.US Presidential candidate Donald Trump declared a loss

:08:32. > :08:33.of hundreds of millions of dollars in 1995 - that's according

:08:34. > :08:36.to the New York Times, which says it has seen his tax

:08:37. > :08:42.The newspaper alleges that the documents show Mr Trump

:08:43. > :08:46.declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns,

:08:47. > :08:49.a tax deduction so substantial, it could have allowed him to legally

:08:50. > :08:56.avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years.

:08:57. > :08:59.Mr Trump's campaign has refused to publish his tax returns and said

:09:00. > :09:03.in a statement that Mr Trump is a highly-skilled businessman

:09:04. > :09:07.who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family

:09:08. > :09:11.and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required.

:09:12. > :09:15.It added that Mr Trump had paid hundreds of millions of dollars

:09:16. > :09:17.in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real

:09:18. > :09:20.estate taxes city taxes, state taxes, employee

:09:21. > :09:28.Joining me on the line from New York is Pulitzer Prize-winning

:09:29. > :09:30.journalist David Barstow, who co-wrote today's story

:09:31. > :09:45.This story has caused a storm since you published it last night. How did

:09:46. > :09:55.you come by these documents? The documents were actually mail to us.

:09:56. > :10:02.One of my colleagues on the story is unlike most of us very zealous about

:10:03. > :10:07.checking her mailbox every single day and they arrived in and

:10:08. > :10:15.envelope, three pages of documents, and immediately our question is, are

:10:16. > :10:21.these documents will? Can we authenticate them? When did they

:10:22. > :10:26.arrive? Did they come off the back of Hillary Clinton bringing up Trump

:10:27. > :10:31.is macro taxes? They arrived before the debate. Donald Trump's taxes

:10:32. > :10:37.have been one of the central issues of the campaign a bunch of us had

:10:38. > :10:46.been out there beating the bushes, seeing if we can find a way to get

:10:47. > :10:50.to his taxes. The reporter who did receive the envelope has written

:10:51. > :11:00.some extensive stories about Mr Trump's finances, so yes, she was

:11:01. > :11:05.the lucky recipient of three pages of documents. What exactly do the

:11:06. > :11:15.documents reveal? What they reveal is that in 1995, Donald Trump

:11:16. > :11:22.declared on his taxes a $916 million loss and it makes some sense

:11:23. > :11:27.immediately, because in the early 1990s was a very bad time for him

:11:28. > :11:33.and his businesses. He was losing tonnes of money in his casinos in

:11:34. > :11:40.Atlantic City and many of his other business ventures were losing money.

:11:41. > :11:48.What is I think a revelation from these documents is the extent to

:11:49. > :11:53.which Donald Trump was able to use our tax codes to benefit from the

:11:54. > :12:01.financial wreckage he left behind in the early 90s and what's more, that

:12:02. > :12:07.that enormous loss of over $900 million could be used to avoid

:12:08. > :12:11.paying any income taxes on an equivalent amount of money he might

:12:12. > :12:20.have earned over the following stretch of years. In all we are

:12:21. > :12:28.looking at an 18 year period that he could have avoided paying taxes on.

:12:29. > :12:31.The Trump campaign says it has paid hundreds of millions of dollars of

:12:32. > :12:37.taxes over the years and this story is does not paint a full picture.

:12:38. > :12:43.What is your response? In that long list of taxes you just described,

:12:44. > :12:49.one tax in particular you didn't mention and that is federal income

:12:50. > :12:53.taxes. That is really what is at issue, federal income taxes is what

:12:54. > :12:57.just about everybody in America pays and the notion that a billionaire

:12:58. > :13:04.could have gone 18 years without paying any income taxes is obviously

:13:05. > :13:07.the reason why the story has created such a ruckus over here today. Thank

:13:08. > :13:11.you very much for your time. Now for a look at some

:13:12. > :13:14.of the day's other stories. Dozens of people have been killed

:13:15. > :13:16.in Ethiopia in a stampede when a religious celebration turned

:13:17. > :13:26.into an anti-government protest. The event took place

:13:27. > :13:28.in one of the country's most sensitive regions,

:13:29. > :13:41.Oromia, which has seen several There have been explosions and

:13:42. > :13:48.gunfire in the disputed territory of Kashmir. The Indian Army says a town

:13:49. > :13:53.has come under attack. Both India and Pakistan claim Kashmir. Tensions

:13:54. > :13:55.have increased since a deadly attack on another Indian army base two

:13:56. > :13:57.macro weeks ago. Russia says its Foreign Minister

:13:58. > :13:59.Sergei Lavrov has had a phone conversation with the US Secretary

:14:00. > :14:02.of State John Kerry about "the possibility

:14:03. > :14:03.of normalising the situation around It follows the heavy

:14:04. > :14:07.bombardment of the Syrian city. Doctors in the rebel-held part

:14:08. > :14:09.of Aleppo say the city's main hospital has now been put entirely

:14:10. > :14:14.out of action by air strikes. Stay with us on BBC World News,

:14:15. > :14:17.still to come: The golfers of the United States and Europe

:14:18. > :14:20.battle it out for the Ryder Cup. We'll have the latest

:14:21. > :14:29.from Hazeltine. Here in the UK, one person has died

:14:30. > :14:32.and another remains in a critical condition in hospital

:14:33. > :14:34.after a light aircraft crashed The plane came down

:14:35. > :14:40.near Hardwick airfield, approximately 16 miles south

:14:41. > :14:42.of Norwich, this afternoon. A man in his 80s, was

:14:43. > :14:46.pronounced dead at the scene. The pilot is in a serious

:14:47. > :14:49.condition in hospital. Three people are still in hospital

:14:50. > :14:51.after yesterday's fatal crash involving a bus carrying

:14:52. > :14:54.Rangers' supporters. Ryan Baird, who was 39

:14:55. > :14:57.and from Dumfries, died in the incident

:14:58. > :15:01.on the A76 near Kilmarnock. The renowned British conductor

:15:02. > :15:08.and violinist Sir Neville Marriner Sir Neville worked with orchestras

:15:09. > :15:13.across the country and around the world in a career

:15:14. > :15:15.spanning seven decades. He started as a violinist

:15:16. > :15:19.with the London Symphony Orchestra and went on to found the Academy

:15:20. > :15:45.of St Martin in the Fields - one Prime Minister Theresa May says the

:15:46. > :15:54.process for Britain to leave the European Union will begin by the end

:15:55. > :16:00.of March at the latest. All existing EU law will be in into British law

:16:01. > :16:06.until it can be removed, changed or reviewed. I'm tangling more than 40

:16:07. > :16:11.years of legislation from British law will be complicated. Thereafter

:16:12. > :16:17.lashing images in this report. This is what the laws of the land look

:16:18. > :16:21.like at Westminster. British and EU thoroughly intertwined on everything

:16:22. > :16:26.from consumer rights, workers' rights, banking and more.

:16:27. > :16:30.Disentangling them is by any measure a mammoth undertaking. Here in its

:16:31. > :16:36.Kaikai is where every act of Parliament is stored going back to

:16:37. > :16:40.the 15th century, but things changed in 1972 with this, the European

:16:41. > :16:44.communities act which took us into what is now the EU and meant that

:16:45. > :16:50.its law became part of hours. That raises the question, once we are

:16:51. > :16:55.out, how do they get rid of those bits we do not want? Workers' rights

:16:56. > :17:01.are one area that could feel the heat when the process of repealing

:17:02. > :17:06.those laws gets fully underway in 2019. One example, a ruling from the

:17:07. > :17:11.EU's highest court that commission and overtime must be included in

:17:12. > :17:16.holiday pay. Employers say it drives up costs and some really don't like

:17:17. > :17:19.it. This is damaging for our industry and going forward it will

:17:20. > :17:26.have a negative impact on investment plans and our ability to grow and

:17:27. > :17:31.increase our export markets. It is a piece of ruling that needs to be

:17:32. > :17:35.done away with altogether. But many other workers' rights, from the EU.

:17:36. > :17:43.Will there be a wholesale overhaul? Thereon many employment law

:17:44. > :17:47.obligations that are deeply unpopular in business but I do not

:17:48. > :17:55.think there are going to be major changes. The rights are embedded and

:17:56. > :17:57.are expected by workers. There are lots of other laws that

:17:58. > :18:05.unambiguously have had a positive impact, for example, our beaches

:18:06. > :18:10.used to be awash with raw sewage into the EU directives clean them

:18:11. > :18:13.up. There is a huge amount to consider and some fear there will

:18:14. > :18:18.not be time for Parliament to scrutinise it all and it will be

:18:19. > :18:24.left just two ministers. The task is so great that I think the risk is we

:18:25. > :18:27.will end up seeing it being done by executive order, lots of these

:18:28. > :18:33.things that come from Europe that we want to keep will be dealt with in

:18:34. > :18:38.ways that are an democratic, they will be shopped through Parliament

:18:39. > :18:43.by regulation. We have to be very mindful of the risks. Keen to quell

:18:44. > :18:49.concerns, the government says any change will be by revolution not

:18:50. > :18:55.revolution about Britain's separation from EU law comes after a

:18:56. > :18:57.40 year marriage between the two legal systems. It is likely to be

:18:58. > :19:01.long and it could be painful. Let's go to Colombia

:19:02. > :19:03.where referendum over a peace deal between the government and the FARC

:19:04. > :19:06.rebel group has been taking place. The Colombian President said this

:19:07. > :19:12.was an opportunity to end 52 years of conflict and lead Colombia

:19:13. > :19:15.towards a better future. Opposition leaders say

:19:16. > :19:19.the government are appeasing rebels. The ex-president Alvaro Uribe says

:19:20. > :19:24.the agreement amounts to impunity for people

:19:25. > :19:27.wanting to avoid jail time. For more, I'm joined by Leonardo Goi

:19:28. > :19:32.from Fundacion Ideas para La Paz. Leonardo, what's your assessment

:19:33. > :19:52.of today's vote, there was some The entire peace process was

:19:53. > :20:00.premised on the idea of transitional justice, on the principle of truth,

:20:01. > :20:08.responsibility and reparation. According to what has been agreed

:20:09. > :20:15.upon, if a demobilised FARC member who will be found guilty of

:20:16. > :20:20.committing some of the atrocities will not take responsibility for the

:20:21. > :20:26.crimes committed, will not commit to repay the victims he or she has

:20:27. > :20:31.caused or will not commit to reveal the truth, he might face up to 20

:20:32. > :20:35.years in prison. It is not exactly the case that the government and the

:20:36. > :20:40.FARC have agreed to a wide impunity for everyone who choose to

:20:41. > :20:46.demobilised as a result of the agreement. Is the country going to

:20:47. > :20:53.vote for this deal or against? There is reason to be optimistic. The last

:20:54. > :20:57.exit polls showed that over 66% of Colombians are likely to vote in

:20:58. > :21:04.favour of the referendum. In order for the referendum to go through,

:21:05. > :21:14.only 13% of the electorate is needed to vote, only 4.3 million votes for

:21:15. > :21:22.the yes camps. There is also reason to be hopeful this will be the case

:21:23. > :21:26.as the FARC and government have made it clear that this will not mean a

:21:27. > :21:33.renegotiation of the terms already agreed upon that war will resume as

:21:34. > :21:37.a result of this. Thank you very much for your time.

:21:38. > :21:51.The United States closing in on victory at the Ryder Cup in

:21:52. > :21:57.Minnesota. Let's bring you up to date with the latest. Patrick Reed

:21:58. > :22:08.delivering a blow to Europe's chances. He beat War Rory McIlroy.

:22:09. > :22:13.Two good wins for Europe. Rafael Cabrera for Spain playing very well.

:22:14. > :22:18.Really when we get to the second pages where it looks very ominous

:22:19. > :22:24.for Europe. Although Lee Westwood is ahead, it is those final five

:22:25. > :22:29.matches in the left-hand column, United States leading in all of

:22:30. > :22:35.them. They need just four more points to win their first Ryder Cup

:22:36. > :22:39.since 2008. Further down the course they are ahead in five of the

:22:40. > :22:46.singles matches and so looking very ominous for Europe's chances of

:22:47. > :22:53.retaining the cup. Manchester City suffered their first league defeat

:22:54. > :22:57.of the season on Sunday losing 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur. Aleksandar

:22:58. > :23:03.Kolarov turn the ball into his own net before Delhi Alley made it 2-0.

:23:04. > :23:10.Tottenham missed a penalty in the second half. The result sees spurts

:23:11. > :23:17.move up to second in the table. -- Spurs. We share a lot of values and

:23:18. > :23:27.we try to play under similar philosophies. I think it was an

:23:28. > :23:32.exciting game and I think city is a great team and to beat them was

:23:33. > :23:39.fantastic for us. Manchester United could only manage a draw against

:23:40. > :23:44.Stoke City at Old Trafford. Anthony put the home side on course for

:23:45. > :23:49.victory when he opened the scoring with just 20 minutes remaining but

:23:50. > :23:57.Stoke grabbed a late goal. Joe Allen capitalising a mistake from the

:23:58. > :24:04.keeper. Arsenal left it late but they beat Burnley thanks to a very

:24:05. > :24:09.late goal bundled in. The match March 20 years in charge for their

:24:10. > :24:14.boss Arsene Wenger. The goal coming with the last kick of the game and

:24:15. > :24:19.extended their winning run in the lead to five matches. We have been

:24:20. > :24:25.fortunate today to win the game because we are a bit jaded

:24:26. > :24:32.physically and our technique, some technical mistakes. But Burnley

:24:33. > :24:41.defended very well, every corner looked like they could score. In the

:24:42. > :24:45.end, it it is the kind of game you can win one, lose one. Leicester

:24:46. > :24:49.City continue to struggle. They were held to a goalless draw by

:24:50. > :24:54.Southampton and Charlie Austen should have scored. He went close

:24:55. > :24:59.with a two headers and hit the post. Jamie Vardy had Leicester's best
