and we do not want to undermine the european union. we want the eu to be a su ccess european union. we want the eu to be a success and we european union. we want the eu to be a success and we want european union. we want the eu to be a success and we want it to remain member states to prosper. and of course we want the same for britain. there will be full analysis and much more detail on that speech speech now join huw edwards with the ten o'clock news. tonight at ten, the prime minister spells out her strategic goals for taking britain out of the european union. in a long—awaited speech, mrs may says britain will leave the single market, seek now trade agreements and control immigration. the single market, seek new trade agreements and control immigration. while i am sure a positive agreement can be reached, i am equally clear that no deal for britain is better than a bad dealfor britain. parliament will get a vote on the final brexit deal. labour says mrs may's approach involves enormous dangers. if all her optimism of a deal with the european union didn't work, we would move in

not partial membership of the european union, associate membership of the european union, or anything that leaves us half-in, half-out. we do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. we do not seek to hold on to bits of membership as we leave. no, the united kingdom is leaving the european union. and my job is to get the right deal for britain as we do. so today, i want to outline our objectives for the negotiation ahead. 12 object lives that amount to one big goal -- a new, positive and constructive partnership , between britain and the european union. and as we negotiate that partnership, we will be driven some simple principles -- we will provide as much certainty and clarity as we can at every stage. and we will take this opportunity to make britain stronger, to make britain fairer, and to build a more global britain, too. the first objective is crucial. we will provide certainty whenever we can. we are about to enter a negotiation. that means there will be give and take. there will have to be compromises. it will require imagination on both sides. and not eve

that means leaving the european union, the internal market of the european union. the single market. they have a massive interest in continuing to do a sensible deal with us. what we want is reciprocal free—trade. that is in their interest as they sell so much more to us than we sell to them. senior figures are making it clear they do not want a recession constructed in berlin and forced on bavaria bike cack— handed negotiation. to reza made it clear from the beginning. she could have made it more clear that we want the best trading relationships with our european unions but we will do it from outside the european union. you can see the different reactions to this speech but it is clear the government is saying to the eu, think about your own interests. there is a practical reason why a decent open trade deal would be good if everybody. we are getting some reaction from the irish government to have put out a statement on the speech saying the government welcomes the fact that it provided greater clarity on the proposed approach of the british government to the

we want to see a continuing strong european union and we wa nt continuing strong european union and we want to have and expect to have good trading relationship with the eu and a clear and good close strategic partnership with them. translation: it is interesting the one who is in and the one who is out of the grafting. laughter -- of of the grafting. laughter —— of regretting. —— of regretting. translator macro i have a question to both of you you came right from the us and donald trump has an explanation statement about the safety zone. a security zone. if this is the case, do you think that this is the case, do you think that this is the case, do you think that this is a safety zone that would give us and on prowler or is it a safety zone that was already asked by turkey. —— give orders and on prowler. a common consensus was reached by i do be a sharing of comment intelligence about daesh. turkey was left alone in air strike and turkey has been complaining about this so why do you think that the coalition forces are not backing turkey in terms of the strike? we are provi

this is the basis for more constructive partnership with the european union. partnership with friends and allies, a partnership strong in the eu and strong in the uk. there is one further objective. it is in no one's interest for there to be a stiff edge for business or a threat to stability as we change our existing relationship to a new partnership with the eu. by this i do not mean we will seek a transitional statehood in which we find ourselves forever in a permanent political purgatory. that would not be good for britain but nor do i believe it is good for the eu. instead i want us to have reached an agreement about future partnerships by the time the articles have concluded. from that point onwards we believe the same process of implementation in which britain and the eu institutions and member states prepare for the new arrangements that will exist between us will be in our mutual self interests. this will give businesses enough time to plan and prepare, immigration control, customs systems in which we cooperate in criminal justice matters about the reg

not partial membership of the european union, associate member of the european union or anything that leaves us half in and half out. we do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by ore countries. we do not seek to hold onto bits of membership as we leave, no, the united kingdom is leaving the european union and my job is to get the right deal for britain as we do. so today, i want to outline our objective and negotiation ahead, 12 objective that amount to one big goal, a new positive and constructive partnership between britain and the european union. as we negotiate that partnership, we will be driven by principles, we will provide as much certainty and clarity as we can at every stage and take this opportunity to make britain stronger, to make britain fairer and build a more global britain too. the first objective is crucial. we will provide certainty whenever we can. we are about to enter a negotiation. that means there will be give and take. there will have to be compromises, imagination on both sides and not everybody will be able to know everything at every stage. but i reco

and the european union, and we expect rollout membership with the european -- we respect that position. states --7 member they say they hope to continue their political journey inside the european union. we not only respect the fact that supported because we do not want to undermine the single market. we do not want to undermine the we want the e.u. to be a success, and we want the remaining member states to prosper. and of course, we want the same for britain. the second reason i believe it is possible to reach a good deal is that the kind of agreement i have described today is the economically rational thing that both britain and the e.u. should aim for. because trade is not a zero-sum game. more of it makes us all more prosperous. free trade means more trade. more trade means more jobs and more wealth creation. the election of balance trade moved. the third and final reasoson i believe we can come to the right agreement is that cooperation between britain and the e.u. is needed not just when it comes to trade but when it comes to our security, too. are twoand france nuclear powers.

the european union is only 1% of the european gdp. the problem is that it is still a loose confederation of nation states based on the unanimity rule. we know that an organisation based on the unanimity rule where 28 heads of state and government have to agree, it acts always too little too late. that is the problem of the union today. not fit for purpose, not effective, always too little too late. therefore we need to reform it. yeah, and that is the, this book is the manifesto for that direction. let's talk about brexit. you have a brexitjob. you heard theresa may's speech a couple of weeks back, where she outlined her vision of what we're aiming for. some said that was a british wanting their cake and eating it, they wanted to be in, then not to be in, but in all the good bits and not the bad bits. was that your perception. i think it's a good summary. you don't think you can work with what she said? what she said was we are out of the european union, out of the single market, out of the customs union, out of the european court ofj

not partial membership of the european union, associated membership of the european union, or anything that leaves us half—in, half—out. i want to be clear. what i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. but, she said, britain would push for the freest possible trade with european countries and other nations around the world. for the first time, mrs may confirmed that the british parliament would get to vote on the final deal at the end of the negotiations. sitting in the audience were some of the ambassadors to the uk. mrs may emphasised she didn't want to undermine the eu, but she also warned against those who wanted to see the uk punished for voting to leave. while i am sure a positive agreement can be reached, i am equally clear that no deal for britain is better than a bad dealfor britain. the opposition labour party said that mrs may wanted to leave the single market, yet still have access to it. that, they said, was like having your cake and eating it, and they warned against her negotiating position. throughout the speech there seemed to be an implied thre

yep, this year saw the uk take that momentous decision to leave the european union. we are going to take a look at what lies in store for the next 12 months. and he did it. the billionaire businessman donald trump wins the race for the white house. he has made some bold announcements, but was it all talk and no action? and, of course, it has been a turbulent year for the global market. oil prices hit that historic low. there is light at the end of the tunnel, of course, following a landmark deal between members of the 0pec countries. and exploding phones, driverless cars, and virtual reality. it has been an eventful 12 months in the world of tech, but what can we look forward to in 2017? we will speak to our resident gadget guru, rory cellan—jones. and, indeed, a very warm welcome to a very special edition of business live. this year saw two of the biggest political results of the decade, as the recent trend towards globalisation kind of took a step back. there are now dark clouds of uncertainty hanging over two of the world's biggest economies, europe and the unit

she was not drawing back the curtains on her master plan for leaving the european union. we learned, yes, we are leaving the single market, something that many would say has been inevitable since mrs may signalled she wanted to end freedom of movement and the jurisdiction of the european court. mps are going to vote on the final deal and mrs may is not interested in some sort of associate membership of the union. but on key areas such as immigration, willie we are no further forward. she as immigration, willie we are no furtherforward. she said as immigration, willie we are no further forward. she said she wanted to reduce the numbers but no clarity on the mechanism for doing so. on customs union, she said she wanted the benefits of being outside, to negotiate trade deals but she wanted the benefits of remaining inside to ensure tariff free trade. similarly ona ensure tariff free trade. similarly on a possible transitional deal, she said she wanted to avoid permanent purgatory, but no clarity on the time we may have for the transitional period. the reason for this ambigui

it's not just about us leaving the european union. we are leaving we are leaving the e.u., were not leaving europe, we will be embracing the world. this is about a a confident future, the trading nation that is out there bringing prosperity to the united kingdom. in doing that i think it will be a benefit to other countries in your on a better fit across the world. >> is the question of whether there's a preferential access or do you commit today to treating the success e.u. nations the same as non- e.u. nations. does britain still's believe in that? >> yes we do and that's everything will be working for will be continue to work for. we want to show how clearly we want to control immigration to the u.k. from the eu. the home office is working on ways that can be achieved. i've also set out clearly today that we do recognize the part of us welcome the people you to the uk. we wanna welcome the brightest and the best. we recognize the value of the contribution be a main when people have come to the u.k. and are still here. but we'll set

union, it would be in our interests and those of the european union as well. there will be a vote on the deal for this parliament but then if this parliament is not willing to accept a deal that has been decided and agreed by the united kingdom government with the european union i sense it is no deal then we fall back on other arrangements. >> graham evans, great pleasure to welcome my honorable friend the prime minister out of her cabinet earlier this week. i welcome the government's industrial gravity which will bring high skilled hide wage jobs that will close the northbound divide in the message is britain is open for business. >> prime minister. >> i and the whole cabinet were pleased, seems to be able to sit down and meet with small businesses on that particular side and to hear the support the government is doing in the industrial strategy and we should be clear britain is open for business, we are a global leader in free-trade bringing in jobs, economic growth and prosperity to every part of the country. >> ian blackburn. >> hundreds of thousands of wo

my them to leave the european union, trying to defend their interests. making sure that negotiations will start after the u.k. triggers that article 50. those were the main topics of reaction today from berlin. brent: there was one point in the speech where theresa may, her speech was laced with hints of what would happen if the european union does not cooperate with negotiations. she said it could be a calamitous self harm event. >> i'm sure the european union also wants some sort of good deal with the u.k.. but germany also wants to make sure that this negotiation is seen as an exception. that other discussions, they do not feel that they want to follow suit. it is something that germany and other members will try and establish in the next few month because that is one of the key priorities. to make sure that it is still guaranteed. brent: and how did theresa may's speech go down with european leaders elsewhere? the vice president of the european parliament. >> there is a certain clarity. to not be part of the single market. our you happy about that cl

we are not anti—immigrant, i don't think anyone is that voted to leave the european union. there is a big difference between being anti—immigrant and anti—uncontrolled immigration. it was that that the british public we re was that that the british public were against. they wanted control. many people of different backgrounds voted to leave the european union.” am grateful to my honourable friend. that is the point. they wanted to ta ke that is the point. they wanted to take back control. they are not anti—immigration. basically want to make sure it is controlled immigration. a level that the country can absorb without any difficulties. that is where we should be on this, that is where the party should be, that is where we stand and i intend to pursue that. i am not going to give way, i have literally a matter of seconds and he will have plenty of time. we will keep an eye on that and return to the commons, should anybody else of note taped to their feet. —— take. a woman has gone on trial in bristol after a toddler was shot in the head with an air—rifle, leav

not partial membership of the european union. in membership of the european union for anything that leaves us half in and half out. we do not seek to adopt a model for to be enjoyed by other countries. we do not seek to hold onto membership as we leave. number the united kingdom is leaving the european union. and my job is to get the right deal for britain as we do. so today, i want to outline our objective and negotiations ahead.12 objectives. that amount to one big goal. a new positive and constructive partnership between britain and the european union. and as we negotiate that partnership, we will be driven by simple principles. we will provide as much certainty and clarity as we can at every stage. and we will take this opportunity to make britain stronger to make britain fair and to build a more global britain. the first objective is crucial. we will provide certainty whenever we can. we are about to enter a negotiation. that means there will be give and take. there will have to be compromises. it will require imagination on

we wanted to leave the european union. he talks about the future of this economy. i want us to be an outward looking nation trading around the world bringing prosperity and jobs here to the united kingdom. the one thing would be bad the economy is the answer is the right honourable gentleman has. he wants a cap on wages, no control on immigration and to borrow an extra 500 billion pounds. that would not lead to prosperity, it would lead to no jobs, no wages and no skills. the chancellor said after the referendum that to lose single market access would be catastrophic. a few days later the health secretary said the first part of the plan must be clarity that we will remain in the single market. the prime minister said something about frictionless access to the single market and a bespoke customs union deal. could the prime minister give us a bit of certainty and clarity about this? as she ruled out paying any kind of access they do achieve access to what she describes as a frictionless market? i can say that access to the s

union that he does not care whether or not the european union stays together or not. though he has given his support and put his weight behind britain's exit from the european union, i think support in the u.k. for brexit has not died and has not diminished. there is a sense that this is inevitable. exit to start,e something called article 50 needs to be triggered. theresa may indicated that that would happen by march. it will be a two-year process, but it is the first time any country has left the european union. technically, nobody actually knows. britain positive relationship with the west, if you can think of it in terms of like a divorce, what the european has said to britain essentially is, show me what the divorce settlement will be. summing with the deal will be before you start talking about married someone else. we cover a lot of british comments and debate on the c-span network, tell us what that debate is like? the brexit referendum passed, but parliament gets a say? guest: yes, and the supreme court is ruled that the parliament should have a say. theresa

to leave the european union and i can announce we swiftly to leave the european union and i can announce we will shortly introduce legislation allowing the government to move ahead with invoking article 50, which starts the formal process of withdrawing from the eu. we received the lengthy 96 pagejudgment from the eu. we received the lengthy 96 page judgment a few hours ago and government lawyers are assessing it carefully. this will be a straightforward bill. it is not about whether or not the uk should leave the european union, that decision has already been made by the people. we will work with collea g u es the people. we will work with colleagues in both houses to make sure this bill is passed in good time as we invoke article 50 by the end of march this year. the prime minister has set this out. this timetable has been supported already by this house. let me go through the issues. the government's priority has been to respect the outcome of the referendum and make sure it is delivered in the interest of the whole country. this house, voted 6-1, to whole country. this house, voted 6

vote to leave the european union is how britain would extricate itself from the e.u. laws and regulations. but leaving the european union means it leaves other relationships particularly with it partners like the united states. there is an opportunity here. for america it gives donald trump an opportunity to show what. >> real trade relationship

i think the european union, we all are sovereign. we all can leave, in many instances we have visa rights. it's always been a silly argument that the uk would regain its sovereignty by leaving the european union. >> your finance minister said today he expects massive unemployment by 2037. the uk is going back to the '70s. >> i think he's right. i spoke today with many international institutions, companies, banks, big, big organizations who are really thinking -- not thinking, they're in the decision phase of leaving the uk, leaving london. leaving the city. >> do you think there's delusion out there? at the moment if you look at the way the market is looking at brexit, it doesn't look that bad. it doesn't look like the uk is going in that direction at this moment. are people delusional? we have not seen the impact yet? >> in the short-term, when your currency is dev-evaluating against other currencies, look at the shorter term and the longer term to the strength of the economy. >> are you going to make it difficult for the uk to sign

but also the european union. the prime minister was very articulate to say it was important that the european stayed as an effective force. at best, the president is indifferent of the european union, or he might think that further brexit type leavings of the eu to be a good thing. how long do you think this could take? the average time needed for the united states to reach a free—trade agreement has been 18 months. four months forjordan was the quickest. the economy of jordan months forjordan was the quickest. the economy ofjordan is not as complex as the uk economy. 18 months, perhaps, that was the case for australia and south korea. that will only start once the uk has exited the eu. then there is the implementation period, which tends to be several years. this is a long process. it would be simple or easy. so, that is over four years. we will see. anthony, thank you. let's go over to washington. barbara, could you talk us through some of the objectives of the white housein some of the objectives of the whit

my constituents voted to remain in the european union. i am leaning towards voting against article 50 because i am here to represent their views. and if i have to resign my shadow ministerial position because of the stands i take, it would be unfortunate. many labour mps accept that stopping brexit is not an option, and worry that the party could concede too much. we cannot be a party that rubber stamps a hard brexit. i accept that we are leaving the european union and i am minded to vote for a article 50 bill to be triggered, but i will not give this government a blank cheque on the contents government a blank cheque on the co nte nts of government a blank cheque on the contents of the deal. i will not give theresa may the ability to run a coach and horses through the living standards of middle and low income families in my constituency. around westminster, people are wondering who will work with whom. the snp, like the lib dems, feel they need more help in the battle of brexit. we need to work with as many people as possible to hold thi

not partial membership of the european union, associate membership of the european union, or anything that leaves us half in, half out. i want to be clear. what i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. inside the european single market, there are no trade barriers, no tariffs, between the states, but they have to abide by rules and one of those means a freedom of people and goods, that means it is difficult to limit immigration. the prime minister wants a new free trade deal with the eu and the control of the uk borders was politically important. the message from the public before and during the referendum campaign was clear. brexit must mean control of the number of people who come to britain from europe. and she said britain would have to come out of some aspects of the eu customs union, or leave it entirely, as full membership would limit the ability to do the sort of trade deals the prime minister favours. but whatever changes the government makes with our relationship to the eu, she wants business to have time to adjust. it is in no—one‘s interests were the

not partial ownership of the european union, associate them to ship of the european union, or anything that leaves us half in, half out. i want to be clear. what i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market. business leaders are still divided on the implications of brexit, but most of them seemed to welcome at least some clarity from the prime minister —— membership. our business editor has been talking to some of them in davos. there is nothing like a bit of mountain air to give you clarity. business leaders gathered in switzerland were watching the prime ministerfor exactly that. did they get it? clarity, first of all. really codify in what many of us are expecting around the result, particularly around the result, particularly around the result, particularly around the single market. we are also seeing the government's willingness to put a bit of edge into the negotiating dynamic. that makes a lot of sense. trade negotiations are negotiations and you have to be pretty tough to get what you want. for some, the uncertainty is still too great. in london, the insurance

we are coming out of the european union. all the debate afterwards is how we come out and what happens. this is a very simple thing today. we are implementing the wishes of the british people through a referendum that we are going to come out of the european union. it is legitimate for mps to want to shape the terms in how we want to leave. nobody is saying we are not leaving. the argument is on what terms. and it is right for parliament to discuss that in the coming months. this is bad triggering the process and not about the negotiations. the next week is fairly straightforward. we implement in the wish of the british people. we are going to come out of the eu. the format, of course parliament must debate that in the months ahead. what do you say to labour mps who say that it is such an important issue, never mind the referendum, it will cause such hardship for my constituents that i had to oppose? different people will take a different view. it is an emotive issue and different constituencies voted in different ways. that

but you members of the european union. but y°u pay members of the european union. but you pay for that access? the best option of all the available options is being the full member of the club. you have all the privileges, as well as being your dues. the next best option would be to mimic something similar to what norway has got, which minimises the economic disruption. i will give you an example. just this week a study came out showing that in the city where i am an mp, sheffield, over 50% of things that are exported go to the european union. 0nly things that are exported go to the european union. only 2% go to china, only 12% to the united states. even if you know negotiate the most all singing, all dancing new trade agreements with the us, china and other countries, it will never match or replace the amount of trade we do with our nearest neighbours. that is why, because people tend to trade most closely with their nearest neighbours. there is no illusion that there is a great global utopia out there that will replace what we will lose in our european neck of th

this week gave us european union have raged on. this week gave us some european union have raged on. this week gave us some clarity on the issue with the prime minister's speech on tuesday but it certainly didn't mark an end to the arguments about how easy or successful the process might prove to be. parliament will have a vote on the final deal but already the criticism has started. if all her optimism of a deal with the european union didn't work, we would move into a low tax, corporate taxation bargain basement economy. i am not prepared for scotland to be taken down a path that i firmly believe is going to be damaging. businesses are very worried that getting that deal in principle within two years is unrealistic and that what we might do is then fall off a cliff into this regulatory and trade no—man‘s—land and people have warned that would be very damaging. this is one day, 24 hours in what's going to bea one day, 24 hours in what's going to be a long, complicated, fraught and difficult process. there are people here in

britain outside the european union. i want to make sure we have a good relationship, that good partnership with the eu. havewe haven't -- negotiated a good trade agreement between britain and the european union. >> you don't see a contradiction between being free trade on one hand and on the other, wanting to intervene in different markets? do you not see a contradiction between those two things? may: i don't see a contradiction between saying that we want to be free traders and also want to make sure that markets are working properly. i think that's what gives people the confidence in globalization which sadly has been eroded. >> on confidence, you have the pound. it's gone down by 1/5 and you seem to be fairly relaxed with that if i can put it that way. i wonder, is there a level where it gets to parity with the dollar and you worry about the pound? theresa may: we have seen different movements in the past few months. but what we have also seen in the economic data is the strength of the u.k. economy. the imf has made

it is leading european union. it's article 50. >> unlike the united states constitution which did not provide for a state to leave, the point abraham lincoln established. the european union does allow a member country to leave and you have to trigger article 50. interesting that's going to start happening this week. so in the house of commons this week we will have the debate and vote whether to trigger article 50 and the truth is the parliament as though a great majority of the members myself included thought it was a bad idea for britain to leave the european union. we will respect in my view the it was close but decisive. today's question is shall we remain part of the eu but then there are a whole set of new questions which is what is our trading relationship with the european union what is our security relationship. >> rose: i want to get to all that. >> there are new questions that now need to be answered. >> rose: but she has triggered 50 article. >> it will happen over the next week. the authority to trigg

union, whilst keeping all the benefits of remaining in the european union and there is no plan for how she's going to deliver that. we seriously want her to succeed the we seriously want to make sure for the sake ofjobs, for the sake of our economy, for the sake of our children, we want to make sure we continue to have proper unfettered access to the single market of the european union with whom we do most of our trading at the moment. so we don't want any red tape orany the moment. so we don't want any red tape or any tariffs, we need really to be in the single market or to be close to the single market. she says she's going to leave it, but she says she will negotiate something that will look like it and the only way she thinks she is going to do it by threatening the european union that unless they get that, she is is going to set us up as some tax haven sailing off the edge of europe which is not only a threat to europe, but a threat to us. we're hearing that we're going to get this judgment from the supreme court next week. 24th january, that will determine whether or not the prim

union because it will be in our interest and those of the european union as well. there will be a vote on the deal , but if this parliament is not willing to accept a deal that has been decided and agreed by the united kingdom government with the european union, i said if there is no deal, we will have to find other arrangements. >> it is my pleasure to welcome the -- my honorable friend the prime minister. i welcome the industrial strategy that will bring high wage jobs and bring the message that britain is open for business. p.m. may: i and the whole cabinet were pleased to be able to visit dolls very -- to visit. i was pleased to sit down and meet with small businesses on that particular site, and to hear the support they have in what the government is doing in the industrial strategy. britain is open for business. we will be out there, trading around the world, a global leader in free trade. we will bring jobs, economic growth, and prosperity to every part of the country. p.m. may: thank you, mr. speaker. >> on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of women aroun

parliament gave the vote whether we should stay in the european union. the people spoke in that vote and the majority voted to leave the european union. i think it is the job of the government that that into practice. i hope people will recognise that that is a very simple decision, do they support the will of the british people or not? speaks irish. studio: you will be able to hear just as well as i can that that question is not in english. thank you forjoining me here an outside source. we are looking at a press conference with the leaders of the uk and ireland. it has not been going on and there have been a lot of interesting points. both leaders have emphasised they do not want what enda kenny called a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. he spoke about desiring a close and friction free trading relationship and he described a frank conversation between the two of them. it is interesting that they both called each other by their first names. they have had three meetings in a close amount of time. theresa may said explicit

union, not even a large country like germany, can handle the problems as well as the european union can do it. but a member of the family — you said the family of the european union — a key member of the family, britain, has decided to go it alone. theresa may said, "we are not turning our backs on europe "but we want to claim our place as ou history has always "given us, in the world." looking beyond europe to partners elsewhere. you're faced with this issue that you cannot make brexit easy for britain because as guy verhofstadt, the key negotiator for the european union with britain, has said, the eu will never accept a situation in which it is better to be outside the eu, outside the single market, than it is to be a member of the eu. you've got to make it tough for britain, haven't you? well, i think we should diminish the tone that is always pushing towards make it tough, make it hard. all these words. they don't make it easy. it will not be an easy task to dis—tangle what has taken years. we should keep in mind that we are on the same side of the front because we share m
