:01:26. > :01:29.Britain's top diplomat to the European Union has resigned
:01:30. > :01:31.just months before the government is due to kick off
:01:32. > :01:35.Sir Ivan Rogers found himself at the centre of a political storm
:01:36. > :01:38.recently when he told ministers a UK-EU trade deal could take
:01:39. > :01:44.Now he's quit as Britain's ambassador to the European Union.
:01:45. > :01:48.Leave campaigners are celebrating his departure.
:01:49. > :01:53.One leading Brexiteer, Arron Banks, has called Sir Ivan "a pessimist"
:01:54. > :01:55.and a member of the "pro-EU Old Guard".
:01:56. > :01:57.But others say it has dealt a serious blow
:01:58. > :02:17.Behind the darkened windows, at the Prime Minister's side as she arrived
:02:18. > :02:21.at the EU summit, Sir Ivan Rogers tried to keep a low profile. But his
:02:22. > :02:26.warning that it could take the UK ten years to get a new EU trade deal
:02:27. > :02:32.overshadowed what was already a difficult location for Theresa May.
:02:33. > :02:36.Sir Ivan Rogers was one of Britain's's most experienced
:02:37. > :02:38.negotiators. He was a key member of David Cameron's team, when the
:02:39. > :02:42.former prime ministers tried to get an agreement on a new relationship
:02:43. > :02:46.with the EU before the referendum, and some who have worked with him
:02:47. > :02:49.believe his departure is a real loss to the Government. The only way we
:02:50. > :02:54.are going to deliver a successful, workable Brexit is precisely with
:02:55. > :02:58.the expertise of people like Sir Ivan Rogers, who has now been forced
:02:59. > :03:03.to the margins, to the sidelines, because of the angry deal of those
:03:04. > :03:08.who will not accept anyone who says anything different than what they
:03:09. > :03:13.happen to believe in. But leading Brexit campaigners are delighted he
:03:14. > :03:17.is gone. Sir Ivan Rogers was part of the establishment that frankly have
:03:18. > :03:20.not accepted the referendum result and and are hoping that frankly it
:03:21. > :03:23.will never happen, and I am sorry to say but the Foreign Office is
:03:24. > :03:26.stocked with these type of people from top to bottom. For decades,
:03:27. > :03:29.they been taking Brittany completely wrong direction and I hope that his
:03:30. > :03:34.departure is followed by many, many more. In her New Year message, the
:03:35. > :03:39.Prime Minister stressed her commitment to getting a Brexit deal
:03:40. > :03:43.that works for everyone. For we have made a momentous decision and set
:03:44. > :03:46.ourselves on a new direction. And whoever takes over as the UK
:03:47. > :03:52.representative to the EU will play a critical role. Theresa May has said
:03:53. > :03:56.she will trigger Article 50 by the end of March at the official line is
:03:57. > :03:59.that Sir Ivan Rogers has decided to leave now so a new appointment can
:04:00. > :04:03.be made before the start of those formal negotiations on Britain does
:04:04. > :04:04.not departure from the EU. Hilary Benn is chair
:04:05. > :04:07.of the Brexit Select Committee and a British Labour
:04:08. > :04:09.member of parliament. He was also a prominent
:04:10. > :04:25.Remain supporter leading Good to have you with us. Hello. I
:04:26. > :04:29.was reading that you said it could not be a more difficult time to
:04:30. > :04:33.organise a handover. Why do you think Sir Ivan Rogers has decided to
:04:34. > :04:36.step down at this time? The truth is that none of us really know the
:04:37. > :04:45.answer to that question. Obviously, when he informed his staff today it
:04:46. > :04:47.came as a surprise to them. Maybe he will say something subsequently,
:04:48. > :04:52.maybe he will not. But I think the most important thing is that if he
:04:53. > :04:57.is going, the Government needs to get a move on and ensure that his
:04:58. > :05:01.successor is put impulse as quickly as possible, because this could not
:05:02. > :05:06.come at him or difficult time, when the country is about to bark on the
:05:07. > :05:10.most significant, important negotiations that we are faced in a
:05:11. > :05:13.decade. There have been some reports that have been linked to his
:05:14. > :05:20.comments made that it could take up to a decade for Brexit negotiations.
:05:21. > :05:24.Do you think it is? I don't know because we do not know the reason
:05:25. > :05:28.why he has decided to go early, but I thought the criticism there was
:05:29. > :05:32.from some quarters about those reporting comments was very unfair.
:05:33. > :05:38.Sir Ivan Rogers is a very experienced, highly respected
:05:39. > :05:46.official. His job is of course, the principal part of his job, is to
:05:47. > :05:49.argue Britain's case in Europe at the other representatives and the
:05:50. > :05:52.other is to report back fairly and honestly on what people are saying
:05:53. > :05:55.to him and what he was doing, as I understand it in that case, was to
:05:56. > :05:58.say that I have spoken to a lot of people and some people say it could
:05:59. > :06:01.take up to ten years. There is not much point in shooting the messenger
:06:02. > :06:04.in those circumstances because in the end what we are able to get out
:06:05. > :06:10.of this because Haitians is going to depend first of all on what we ask
:06:11. > :06:13.for and at the moment we have no idea what the Government's
:06:14. > :06:17.negotiating objectives are because they have not published their plan,
:06:18. > :06:20.but ultimately it will be decided by what the other 27 member states are
:06:21. > :06:23.prepared to agree to, and therefore we need some body in Brussels as a
:06:24. > :06:28.successor to Sir Ivan Rogers you will be able to learn from them what
:06:29. > :06:34.the stars is going to be, what they appear to accept, where the ring for
:06:35. > :06:38.Coppermine 's might be because there will be two parties to this
:06:39. > :06:45.negotiation, the UK and the other 27 members bits -- member states. --
:06:46. > :06:53.where the room for compromise might be. Some have said that it should be
:06:54. > :06:58.someone who is more in favour of leaving the EU. What would you say
:06:59. > :07:01.to that? I would say that the job of the civil service is to represent
:07:02. > :07:04.the Government of the day and do the job of the Government of the data
:07:05. > :07:08.set up what the policy of that Government is and our civil
:07:09. > :07:13.servants, who have a very high reputation in the world, get on and
:07:14. > :07:16.try to make it happen. In the end, this negotiation will be decided by
:07:17. > :07:20.politicians on either side of the table but we need an effective
:07:21. > :07:23.operator in Brussels and Sir Ivan Rogers has certainly been that and
:07:24. > :07:26.that is why we need to know who his replacement is going to be as
:07:27. > :07:30.quickly as possible. Thank you very much. Hilary Benn speaking to us
:07:31. > :07:34.from West London. The first day for the new
:07:35. > :07:36.Congress in the US. And House Republicans have reversed
:07:37. > :07:39.course on a plan to weaken the ethics body that
:07:40. > :07:40.investigated political misconduct. Their plan to erode the ethics
:07:41. > :07:43.committee had angered Democrats and some Republicans including
:07:44. > :07:44.the president-elect on, do they really have to make
:07:45. > :07:51.the weakening of the... Independent Ethics Watchdog,
:07:52. > :07:53.as unfair as it may be, Focus on tax reform healthcare
:07:54. > :08:03.and so many other things Well, we can go live
:08:04. > :08:30.now to Jane O'Brien So what exactly happened? Well,
:08:31. > :08:33.Republicans met in secret last night. Bearing in mind, this is even
:08:34. > :08:38.before they were sworn into Congress. They met in secret and
:08:39. > :08:42.decided that they did not like this watchdog organisation, this ethics
:08:43. > :08:46.office, because in their words, they felt that it over and is did not
:08:47. > :08:49.give them a chance to face their accusers when allegations about
:08:50. > :08:53.their conduct were made and so they decided to remove some of its powers
:08:54. > :08:58.and give oversight to a committee that was effectively run by them.
:08:59. > :09:02.Well, the House Speaker, poll Ryan, said that he did not agree with this
:09:03. > :09:05.at all, that it would look of all, which it did, and he objected and
:09:06. > :09:11.said do not do it. They didn't listen. This morning, Donald Trump
:09:12. > :09:16.tweets and says what are you doing? You have far more important things
:09:17. > :09:18.to be working with and they did this extraordinary U-turn. The amazing
:09:19. > :09:23.thing is that here we have the President-elect publicly rebuking
:09:24. > :09:27.members of his party should be starting the day in triumph, having
:09:28. > :09:31.to in the Senate and retain the house, and looking forward to
:09:32. > :09:35.getting a Republican president. And instead, he is telling them of very
:09:36. > :09:39.publicly, raising questions about how is he going to work with his own
:09:40. > :09:43.party, many of them of course did not support him during the
:09:44. > :09:45.presidential election. So I think the interesting thing about all this
:09:46. > :09:50.is that he is not showing any signs of reconciliation. How is he going
:09:51. > :09:55.to get them on board? To push through his agenda and how are they
:09:56. > :09:59.going to work with him? Let's move onto this new Republican-controlled
:10:00. > :10:06.Congress. It must be keen to get into some other issues. Absolutely.
:10:07. > :10:10.High on the agenda is the repeal of Obama care, the affordable care act.
:10:11. > :10:16.This is the signature piece of legislation from President Barack
:10:17. > :10:18.Obama. It has been very divisive, very controversial. 20 million
:10:19. > :10:23.Americans did gain health-insurance as a result of its, but it has also
:10:24. > :10:28.proved very costly. A lot of people's premium is have gone up,
:10:29. > :10:34.but it is likely to be repealed, and earlier I spoke to the Democratic
:10:35. > :10:39.congressman from California, Ted Luiten, and asked what Democrats can
:10:40. > :10:43.do at this stage to save it. We will fight like hell to stop the
:10:44. > :10:48.repealed. We will put up roadblocks and we will let the American people
:10:49. > :10:51.know that it is a really bad idea to throw 20 million Americans of all
:10:52. > :10:55.health care with no plan. Back now, the Republicans have no plan. But
:10:56. > :11:00.they can sell repeal it and you can't stop them. We cant if they all
:11:01. > :11:04.vote to repeal it. It is not clear that is going to happen because many
:11:05. > :11:07.of them have concerns that there is no plan and how do you throw off
:11:08. > :11:12.that many people of health-insurance without giving them something else
:11:13. > :11:16.to put in its place. He is right about that because at the moment,
:11:17. > :11:20.what they intend to replace the Obama care whether is really up in
:11:21. > :11:25.the air. There is no political appetites to abandon the 20 million
:11:26. > :11:29.Americans who now have health-insurance and there are other
:11:30. > :11:32.very popular provisions to and that was why President Obama will be
:11:33. > :11:35.coming here tomorrow to talk to Democrats about what they can
:11:36. > :11:44.salvage in the teeth of Republican opposition. Thanks very much. And
:11:45. > :11:44.even full first day on Castle Hill with the Republican-controlled
:11:45. > :11:45.Congress. As we've seen, while the current
:11:46. > :11:48.members of the US Congress are being sworn in, US
:11:49. > :11:50.president-elect Donald Trump has been busy on social media -
:11:51. > :11:54.in another of his posts in the last few hours, he warns
:11:55. > :11:55.the car-maker General Motors about the consequences of making
:11:56. > :11:58.a particular model of car in Mexico. Mr Trump criticises
:11:59. > :12:16.the US car giant, for - quote - "sending Mexican-made
:12:17. > :12:19.model of the Chevy Cruze Car dealers, tax-free
:12:20. > :12:32.across border." Mr Trump follows this
:12:33. > :12:35.with his warning, "Make in U.S.A. of the sedan models of its car
:12:36. > :13:11.are put together in its Ohio GM sold about 190,000 Cruze cars
:13:12. > :13:20.in the United States in 2016. About four and a half thousand
:13:21. > :13:22.hatchbacks were assembled The US President elect
:13:23. > :13:27.Donald Trump has warned the car maker General Motors that it
:13:28. > :13:30.will face what he called a big border tax if it continues
:13:31. > :13:32.to make its Chevrolet Cruze Meanwhile the second largest US
:13:33. > :13:35.motor company Ford has announced this it is cancelling an investment
:13:36. > :13:44.planned for Mexico in favour This is not the first time Donald
:13:45. > :13:49.Trump has made a comment on social media. Previously, he was able to
:13:50. > :13:53.announce that carrier would not be sending all of the announced up to
:13:54. > :13:59.next ago and it would keep 850 jobs in the US, but was still standing at
:14:00. > :14:04.about 1000 jobs to Mexico. We also saw this happen with Boeing in terms
:14:05. > :14:10.of how the company was pricing not only the building of Force one, the
:14:11. > :14:15.plane that carries the President, but we also saw in terms of what was
:14:16. > :14:18.happening with the building of some air force carriers, so this is not
:14:19. > :14:22.the first and we have heard Mr Trump really call out companies for their
:14:23. > :14:27.practices of building things outside of the US and selling them back here
:14:28. > :14:30.in the US. So there was another story I mention, which is Ford,
:14:31. > :14:35.another car giant. They are cancelling plans for a new 1.6
:14:36. > :14:42.billion plant in Mexico and going to add 700 jobs in Michigan to build
:14:43. > :14:45.electric or autonomous vehicles. Is it connected in anyway? Do we have
:14:46. > :14:54.any sense of whether the Tweet played into it? Well, the BBC had
:14:55. > :15:01.just spoken with the CEO of four and what he said was that in fact it was
:15:02. > :15:05.the fact that the President-elect is creating an environment in which it
:15:06. > :15:12.is more profitable for the company to actually keep these jobs in the
:15:13. > :15:17.US and to build their cars here in the US. And when you sort of dealt a
:15:18. > :15:21.little bit deeper into what was it exactly that they are talking about
:15:22. > :15:24.in terms of the business environment, well, you are looking
:15:25. > :15:26.at regulations and they will be rolling back some of those
:15:27. > :15:29.regulations, especially when you think about it in terms of what we
:15:30. > :15:32.have heard about the President-elect, in terms of the
:15:33. > :15:40.energy policy and perhaps moving away from this need to try and keep
:15:41. > :15:46.green cars, really forcing that. That could make a good environment
:15:47. > :15:51.for the bottle makers you in the US. And he has not even had his in
