badge we will convert the body of existing eu law into british law, this will give the country maximum certainty as we leave the eu. the same rules will apply the day after brexit as they did before and it will be for parliament to decide on a changes of that law and proper parliamentary debate. when it comes to parliament another way i would like to provide certainty. i can confirm the government will put a final deal agreed between the uk and the eu in both houses. our second guiding principle is to build a stronger britain. that means taking control of our own affairs, those who voted in the european union demand we must so we will take back control and put an end to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice in britain leaving the european union will mean our laws in belfast, those laws will be decided by judges not in luxembourg but in courts across the country because we will not have truly left the european union if we are not in control of our own laws. a stronger britain demands we do something else, strengthen the union between the four nations of the united ki

this government to deliver it. that means more than negotiating our new relationship with the eu. it means taking the opportunity of this great moment of national change to step back and ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be. my answer is clear. i want this united kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united, and more outward-looking than ever before. i want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country -- a magnet for international talent and a home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead. i want us to be a truly global britain the best friend and , neighbor to our european partners, but a country that reaches beyond the borders of europe, too. a country that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. i want britain to be what we have the potential, talent and ambition to be. a great, global trading nation that is respected around the world and strong, confident, and united at home. that is why this government has a plan for britain. one that gets us the right deal abroad but

and negotiating with the eu. she knows that parliament will get a chance to vote on any final trade agreement. this is just under an hour. [applause] a little over six months ago the british people voted for change. they voted to shape brighter future for our country. they voted to leave the european union and embrace the world. as they did so with their eyes open. accepting that the road ahead would be uncertain at times. but believing that it leads toward a brighter future for their children and their grandchildren too. and it is the job of this government to deliver it. that means more than negotiating our new relationship with the eu. it means taking the opportunity of his great moments and national change. she stepped back and ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be. my answer is clear. i want this united kingdom to emerge from this period of change stronger, fairer, more united and more outward looking than ever before. i want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country. a magnet for international talent. andy home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the

britain will leave the eu single market — theresa may sets out her core demands for brexit negotiations. she wants british laws to be judged in british courts, and new ways of dealing with immigration. brexit must mean control over the number of people who come to britain from europe, and that is what we will deliver. the prime minister also had a message for other eu leaders — don't try to punish us for brexit. 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 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'm not prepared for scotland to be taken down a path that i firmly believe is going to be damaging. we'll be hearing the first reactions from across the eu. also tonight: the supreme court gives this libyan the right to sue a former foreign secretary over torture claims. ajump in the cost of living — inf

. and she confirmed that the uk would not remain in the eu's single market. we are leaving the european union but we are not leaving europe, and thatis but we are not leaving europe, and that is why we seek a new and equal partnership between an independent self—governing global britain and oui’ self—governing global britain and our friends self—governing global britain and ourfriends and self—governing global britain and our friends and allies in the eu. not partial ownership 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 held by other countries. we do not seek to hold onto other bits of membership as we leave. the united kingdom is leaving the european union, and my job is to get the right deal for britain as we do. the prime minister also said that no deal is better than a bad deal on the uk's withdrawal from the european than a bad deal on the uk's withdrawalfrom the european union. while i am confident that this scenario need never arise, while i am sure a positive ag

action. britain will be leaving the eu single market, the clear—cut message for theresa may as she set out the red lines for the brexit negotiations. she said britain must be able to control who comes here, british courts must have powers, and parliament will have a say in which deal his negotiated. and there was a warning for higher eu counterparts. she will walk away if eu negotiators try to punish britain. good morning, what is the plan? on her way out and on our way out. notjust of on her way out and on our way out. not just of the on her way out and on our way out. notjust of the european union. the reason they gathered ministers and ambassadors, too. to confirm, finally, we will leave behind the way the country has made its living for decades. as a priority, we will pursue a bold and ambitious free trade agreement with the european union. this agreement should allow for the freest possible trading goods and services between britain and the eu's member states. it should give britain companies freedom to trade with and operate within european markets and let european businesses

uk will leave the eu single market when it quits the european union. in her long—awaited speech on the impact of britain leaving the eu, theresa may said she would seek a new free trade agreement with europe for a "global britain". mrs may also confirmed that both houses of parliament will get to vote on it. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn said mrs may seemed to want to "have her cake and eat it". we'll be getting political and business reaction shortly, but first this report from our political correspondent iain watson. good morning, what is the plan. you have heard her slogan, brexit means brexit. today we saw some of the substance. theresa may voted to remain in the european union, but she consulted leading league campaigners, boris johnson and she consulted leading league campaigners, borisjohnson and david davies, over the most important speech she has made since becoming prime minister. she did not give a detailed plan for brexit, but she did set out a direction of travel. not partial membership of the european union, associate membership of the european union, or anything t

may spells out her brexit plant, confirming the uk will leave the single market, warning eu leaders that no deal is better than a bad deal. we will look at reaction gci’oss a bad deal. we will look at reaction across europe and examine the likely negotiating strategy of the of the eu. we report from strasbourg where meps have voted for this man, antonio, as the new president of the european parliament. and as donald trump enters the white house, how are the residents of melania trump's hometown in slovenia celebrating the success hometown in slovenia celebrating the success of their most famous ex—resident. success of their most famous ex-resident. i put white chocolate because of the white house, she is a lwa ys because of the white house, she is always dressed in white. so i put white chocolate. so, all that to come and more in the next half—hour. first, though, here is our guide to the latest from europe in just 60 seconds. after much anticipation, on tuesday, prime minister theresa may delivered her speech on brexit. she said the uk would lay the single market, and had a s

european law. she'll tell eu leaders... ..but she'll say she wants a new and equal partnership, declaring... donald trump's offer of a quick, fair trade deal with the uk got the thumbs up from leading brexiteers, but whilst the president—elect said the uk was so smart to vote for brexit, those who disagree want britain to fight to stay in the single market. theresa may will set out 12 priorities for a deal. but she faces two years of hard bargaining with 27 members determined to safeguard the future of the eu without britain. so it seems today, we're being told the prime minister wants britain to leave the eu single market and most probably pull out of the customs union as well. but what do those terms actually mean? rachel home is here to explain the key phrases we will keep hearing during the brexit process. hard, soft or scrambled — how do you like your brexit? the vote to leave has created a whole new lexicon for us to get to grips with. first up — article 50. this is the agreement in the lisbon treaty signed by all eu members, which outlines how a country can leave the european

, said that leaving the eu would change uk law and the rights of uk citizens — which meant parliament must be consulted. a short time ago, mps were told the government would introduce legislation within days to stop the formal process of leaving the eu. our political correspondent carole walker reports. this was a case with profound implications. who should decide the process for taking the uk out of the eu? the decision, taken by 11 of the most seniorjudges in the land, was delivered to the hushed courtroom. today, by a majority of 8—3, the supreme court rules that the government cannot trigger article 50 without an act of parliament authorising it to do so. article 50 begins the formal negotiations for leaving the eu, a process which the judges said would fundamentally change uk law. the referendum is of great political significance, but the act of parliament which established it did not say what should happen as a result. so any change in the law to give effect to the referendum must be made in the only where permitted by the uk constitution, namely by an act of parliament. the v

. she will be saying to a uk and an eu audience, do not assume i'm going for any current arrangement that is on the shelf for non—eu members. she will say she is looking for a bespoke dealfor the uk and it is reported one important theme, the prime minister will be respectful to the 27 other leaders of eu and say she wants a deal that works for the whole of the uk and a deal that works for the rest of the uk, because unlike donald trump, she wants the eu to thrive. so we thought we would look at some of these issues. a centralised european government would be a nightmare. such a europe can, in its economic and political strength, be a superpower. a superpower, but not a superstate. we will give the british people a referendum with a simple in or out choice. thatcher in bruges, blair in warsaw, cameron at bloomburg, and now theresa may closer to home. we have been waiting a long time for this moment, but the prime minister will deliver her definitive speech on europe as she explains how she is going to take the uk out of the eu. it will be detailed, as she answers critics who have c

by the maltese prime minister, joseph muscat, who said that any uk—eu deal necessarily needs to be inferior to membership of the european union. do you agree with that? you know, when you belong to a club, whatever that is, either sports or intellectual, whatever, the members of the club have a degree of affinity, and particular terms under which they operate. somebody outside the club, sports or intellectual or whatever, have a different access, and i think he's referring to that. so it would be a less good deal for britain? it would certainly be different, and if being part of a club is optimising and leveraging your membership, it would not be as good, yes. let's just talk finally about... we're here at davos, a big debate that you've been very closely involved in for many years about equality, about elites, about the way the world operates and economies operate. does it give you a sense that it's all a little bit ridiculous? that we are speaking here in this resort, where you can look out there at business people doing deals, highly rich people... this is just totally out of to

majority are as follows... section two of the 1972 act provides that whenever the eu institutions making laws, those new laws become part of uk law. the 1972 act therefore makes use of independent of uk law until parliament decides otherwise. therefore, when the uk withdraws from the eu treaties, a source of uk law will be cut off. however, certain rights enjoyed by uk citizens would be changed. therefore, the government cannot trigger article 50 without parliament authorising that cause. thatjudgment was that judgment was delivered thatjudgment was delivered at 9:30am this morning. not entirely a surprise, it had been widely anticipated by the government that they would lose this case. well, there was much speculation that the government would lose. many lawyers thought they would lose. one of the big problems when they were essentially arguing against the fundamental principle on which our unwritten constitution is based on that his parliamentary sovereignty. what lord neuberger said in that clip was that the 1972 act, european communities act, which took us what is now the eu, created

about britain leaving the eu and that the offer of a us trade deal would strengthen theresa may's hand in the brexit negotiations with brussels. speaking to reporters, on his way into a meeting of foreign ministers in brussels, borisjohnson described mr trump's comments as very positive. our political correspondent ben wright reports. by friday, he'll be president, the most powerful politician in the world. and getting a visit in first, formerjustice secretary and brexit campaigner, michael gove, presenting the president—elect with a chance to boast about his brexit foresight. i thought the uk was so smart in getting out. you were there and you guys put it on the front page, "trump said that brexit will happen". yes. right? and it happened. everyone thought i was crazy. obama said they'll go to the back of the line, meaning, if it does happen... and then he had to retract it. that was a bad statement. and now we are at the front of the the queue? i think you're doing great. so perhaps not the front of the trade deal queue and the uk can only start to negotiate once we've left th

may has got a list of 12 demands for brexit in what's being trailed as a clean breakfrom the eu. we'll talk to ian watson in downing street shortly but first our political correspondent carole walker has this report. after months of pressure to tell us more about her brexit plan, theresa may will strike an optimistic note, telling us she wants a global britain that gets out into the world. the prime minister may not be explicit but she will again signal that she is ready to take britain out of the european single market and perhaps the customs union too in order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european law. order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european lawli think it is highly likely we will be coming out of the formal structures of the customs union and the single market because that is the way to grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents not just grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents notjust for controlling immigration but free trade opportunities. she will tell eu leaders we want to buy your goods, sell you ours, trade with yo
