: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

:08:37. > :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

: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

: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.

: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
