we saw some of the substance. theresa may voted to remain in the european union but she consulted leading leave campaigners. what's the plan for brexit? borisjohnson and david davies, over the most important speech and she has made since becoming prime minister. she didn't give a detailed plan for brexit but she set out a direction of travel. not partial membership of the european union, associate membership, or anything that leaves us half in, half out. i want to be clear, what i proposing cannot mean a membership of single market. inside the european single market there are no trade barriers, no tariffs between member states but they have to abide by common rules, including the free movement of people as well as goods, making it difficult to limit immigration. the prime minister said she wanted a free—trade deal with the eu, but control of uk borders is politically important. the message to 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. she said britain would have to come out of

attack against israeli soldiers, not isis. thank you. theresa may says the government will take back control of britain's borders when we leave the eu — and appeared to suggest that could mean leaving the single market. but in her first interview of the new year, mrs may said the choice between controlling immigration and staying in the single market was not a binary, either/or decision. here's our political correspondent, carole walker. after six months in power, the prime minister has begun to signal what she wants from the brexit negotiations. brexit means brexit. she knows that no longer satisfies anyone. theresa may denies muddled thinking, saying britain would take back control of its borders and appeared to hint that would mean leaving the single market. people talk in terms as if somehow we are leaving the eu but we still want to keep bits of membership. we are leaving, we are coming out, we will not be a member of the eu any longer. the question is, what is the right relationship for the uk to have with the european union when we are outside? though campaigners on both sid

visit to turkey, theresa may has refused to condemn the united states' refugee policy after being repeatedly pressed to give her opinion on the order. the united states is responsible for the united states's policy on refugees. the united kingdom is responsible for the next kingdom's policy on refugees, and our policy is to have a voluntary scheme to bring numbers of refugees to the country, particularly those especially vulnerable, but also to provide support to the neighbouring countries around syria. there was a phone call today between president clinton and donald trump. we will have more from our washington correspondent in a few minutes. more now on theresa may's visit to turkey. she was in ankara for toxic ona turkey. she was in ankara for toxic on a potential trade deal. —— talks. laura kuenssberg reports. a morning at the palace. the presidential palace. meeting president used to doing perhaps whatever it takes to his way. popular, feared as well, after a coup that field against him. but she wants closer ties on trade and defence, but also to make british concerns abo
