. theresa may will speak this hour — and rule out a deal which leaves the uk "half in and half out" of the european union. we will be coming out of the formal structures of the customs union and the single market, because that's the way we can really grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents. the prime minister must not wave the white flag and give up on our membership of the single market. if she cares about britain's future and is going to fight our corner, then she's going to need to be fighting for britain to be in the single market. theresa may will set out her plans for brexit, including a pledge to leave the single market, but there will be no clarity on the customs union or curbing immigration. sorry for that technical hitch. a libyan man has won the right to sue the former foreign secretary, jack straw, over claims of kidnap and torture. an 18—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a teenage girl in rotherham. three years after the malaysia airlines flight mh370 went missing, the search is called off, leaving families devastated. good mornin

on the question of when theresa may knew about mr tump‘s immigration policy order. the guardian says there is domestic uproar in britain over mr trump's policy. and the times reports that a former senior official at the foreign office believes theresa may has put the queen in a "very difficult position" over the offer of a state visit foertrump. now it's time for hardtalk. this is hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. the uk parliament is about to vote on the government's plan to trigger article 50, the formal process which will end in britain leaving the eu. there's little doubt mps will give prime minister theresa may a green light, but much has changed since lastjune‘s brexit referendum. the government has clarified its vision of what brexit means, while president donald trump is shaking up global politics. what place will post—brexit britain occupy on the world stage? my my guess is that today is conservative mp domin raab. domin raab, welcome to hardtalk. you area domin raab, welcome to hardtalk. you are a westminster mp who took the somewhat difficult to understand position of havi

political risk is theresa may taking by swallowing any personal distaste and hoping that a president who delights in bellowing "america first" might somehow be persuaded to put britain second? newsnight‘s david grossman was watching. how presidents and prime ministers interact matters. a great deal of effort goes into making sure they hit it off. some relationships, however, barely register. others become central to both. into which category this latest iteration will fall, well, today we began to find out. nothing was allowed to get in the way, not even the oval office lamp. an executive order, and it was gone. back in the room, the bust of churchill. this is the original. after a private meeting in the oval office, a press conference, where the compliments really flowed. today, the united states renews our deep bond with britain, military, financial, cultural and political. one of the great bonds. we pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship. i am delighted to be able to congratulate you on what was a stunning election victory. as you say, the invitat

theresa may touches down in the united states — to talk trade with trump. before their meeting — the president's first with a foreign leader — mrs may addresses a republican conference. she signals a change in uk foreign policy — with clear echoes of that of mr trump. the days of britain and america intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over. stepping down for the first time from air force one, president trump looks ahead to his meeting with mrs may. i am meeting with her tomorrow, i don't have my secretary there, they want to talk trade, so i will have to handle it myself. but mr trump's comments approving of torture may prove something of a stumbling block among the diplomatic niceties. also tonight. no post—brexit slowdown, as the uk economy grows faster than expected. prison suicides at record levels in england and wales — and a huge increase in attacks on staff. it is like a soldier on a battlefield, you don't know what you will be faced with. on top of that, you have got the fear, am i going to make it home ton

much better informed, or are going to be that much better informed about where theresa may really stands, remains to be seen. we are told repeatedly by the pro—brexit media that theresa may is i'iow pro—brexit media that theresa may is now ina pro—brexit media that theresa may is now in a strong position. my big worry about the next few months, or dare i say it years, is are we actually going to get proper coverage actually going to get proper cove rage of actually going to get proper coverage of both sides of the negotiation? the british press, the predominantly london based press, is overwhelmingly and understandably perhaps at this stage interested in what the brits are going to do. but there are 26 other countries who will be part of this negotiation. let's look at the daily mail's frontpage. theresa may unveils a bold i2 frontpage. theresa may unveils a bold 12 point plan for brexit. we will break free from eu judges. david is indicating not 100% clear that we are definitely going to be leaving the single market, although the papers seem to suggest it. the customs union
