this is bbc news. i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines at four: the prime minister says she will announce more details about her brexit plans over the coming weeks, insisting that britain will get the right deal. i think it is wrong to look at this as just i think it is wrong to look at this asjust a binary i think it is wrong to look at this as just a binary issue, i think it is wrong to look at this asjust a binary issue, either you have control over immigration or a good trade deal. i don't see it as a binary issue. a lorry has rammed into a group of israeli soldiers injerusalem, killing four and injuring 15. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who's visited the site said the attack was carried out by a palestinian supporter of so—called islamic state. the queen has attended church at sandringham, making her first appearance since missing services over christmas due to a heavy cold. a political advisor at the israeli embassy has been secretly recorded saying he wants to "take down" the foreign office minister sir alan duncan. the big freeze — parts of europe and the eastern united states are hit by a cold snap. heavy snowfall and sub—zero temperatures have left more than 20 people dead and caused transport chaos. and at 4.30pm, a bbc wales

investigation into the deadly condition known as sepsis. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister, 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 a good trade deal was not a binary decision. mrs may also said 2017 would be the year when the government will set out more of its domestic agenda. here's our political correspondent susana mendonca. ever since she took on the top job,

there is one subject which has dominated theresa may's premiership. brexit means brexit. and we are going to make a success of it. is it hard, soft, grey, white? actually, we want a red, white? actually, we want a red, white and blue brexit. what form would it take? the prime minister made it clear she did not want to keep bits of membership. she insisted britain could control immigration alongside getting a good trade deal. often people talk in terms of keeping bits of membership of the eu. we are leaving, we are not going to bea eu. we are leaving, we are not going to be a member of the eu any longer. she did not go as far as to say whether she would quit the single market. labour says she needs to offer more clarity. she had one question put to her three times and still did not answer it. are you prioritising immigration over access to the single market?

that is the question she didn't want to answer. ten to ii ten to 11 weeks of triggering article 50, we need more clarity than that and we haven't got it. any move away from the single market could spur this ultimatum from the scottish first minister to have a second referendum on scotland's independence. they will be making a big mistake if they think i'm bluffing. we voted to stay in the eu and we were told voting no was the only way we could stay in the eu, and we now face being taken out of the eu. but theresa may doesn't want to be defined by brexit alone and so is trying to wrestle the agenda toward her domestic plans, what she calls "the shared society". it is about us recognising our obligations as citizens within the communities and society that we have here in the uk. it is about recognising that there is a role for government, but government needs to make sure it is acting as effectively

as possible in those areas where it should be taking action. she will begin that tomorrow with her plans to target the stigma of mental health. and there will be more policies around housing and her industrial strategy still to come. earlier susana explained how mrs may has also been speaking about her vision for a shared society, ahead of a speech tomorrow. rather than focusing on individualism, that we have a responsibility to care for one another and the government has a role in that, so that's what she wa nted role in that, so that's what she wanted to focus on today, certainly tomorrow, but we keep coming back to this issue of brexit because people wa nt to this issue of brexit because people want to know what the plan will be and when we will get more detail on that. in terms of watches today, she wasn't saying outright she would give up our wasn't saying outright she would give up oui’ access wasn't saying outright she would give up our access to the single market but that seems to be she's suggesting and so that is i suppose

a step forward in terms of what people are trying to gauge from the bits of information we get from theresa may. but certainly with heard from ken clarke, the conservative pro—eu mp earlier today talking about how theresa may needs to have a plan by the end of this month, we need to know what direction we will be going in, in terms of the brexit negotiations. today she was of course insistent there was no binary opposition, as she put it, between the single market on the one hand and controlling britain's borders on the other, but she spoke repeatedly about the fact britain would be able to control its borders when we left the eu. very much so, she was saying we could have the control over our borders alongside trade, she seemed to be suggesting that we were perhaps looking for an individual dealfor britain to perhaps looking for an individual deal for britain to have access to trade but perhaps outside of a single market concept. there was that clip there where she was talking about how we don't have to

have the bits of eu membership, the people shouldn't think in that way of keeping control of bits of eu membership so that suggests we are moving in that direction of perhaps leaving the single market. that would create its own problems. we heard nicola sturgeon talking about how that would prompt a second independence referendum potentially in scotland but at the moment it is all conjecture, we are not really getting the clear detail of what will be happening. a lorry has rammed into a group of israeli soldiers injerusalem, killing four and injuring 15. police say the vehicle veered off course and hit them as they got off a bus. the lorry driver was shot dead. it follows a period of palestinian attacks which have killed a0 israelis. in that same time, nearly 230 palestinians died from israeli fire. let's hear from a tour guide who saw the attack as it happened. i was one of the tour guides, and there were about ten groups of soldiers. every group, about 30 soldiers,

that we came together to a group and i was in one of the buses. i went...we got down off the bus and we came here on the promenade. i started to guide, and after a few minutes i heard my soldier screaming and i was concentrated on my guided tour, and on my explanations, and at a certain point ijust saw the truck going from the road onto the sidewalk and just hitting the soldiers. it took me some time to understand it was a terror attack and... and soldiers started shooting on him and it took some time before they were able to kill him. he got time to make reverse with his truck and just to wound and kill other soldiers. let's speak to our middle east analyst, sebastian usher. in the meantime the israeli prime

minister said the driver is a suspected... was a suspected supporter of the islamic state. yes, he hasn't suggested whether it is known in the driver had links or whether it is a supposition based on the method he used, that he used a truck as we have seen in other attacks recently. that's probably where it stands at the moment and we haven't yet seen any real involvement or claim by islamic state of attacks. it has not really crystallised into a real threat, but of course the potential was there. and the way in which it was worded was that it was a palestinian supporter of is. essentially what is does is lay out its ideology and encourages them to take action by

themselves. we've seen this wave of attacks by palestinians, almost a year and attacks by palestinians, almost a yearand a attacks by palestinians, almost a year and a half, often using knives and guns and occasionally vehicles like this although that is much rarer and that has sown a new form of fear amongst israelis, caused more tensions again, but it is not something which has morphed yet into a sense that this is in any sense dominated by is and that is a big step to take. if this were found to be an attack that was coordinated by is, this would be a big new move. be an attack that was coordinated by is, this would be a big new movem wouldn't be a first but it would show there is a new tendency, and the type of attacks we have been seeing again in europe, you would think there might be more chance of that happening again in israel. there have been so many of these lone wolf attacks by palestinians, they have subsided in the last few

months but go back six or seven months but go back six or seven months and they were happening on almost daily basis so it didn't need is to create those conditions to encourage people to act. i think the motivation is already there among young palestinians, it doesn't need islamic state to come in and do that, the state of the peace talks such as they are and the palestinians feeling there is a drift away from the two state solution. these things leading to a feeling of hopelessness which is one of the contributing factors to the violence we have seen. four israeli soldiers are dead, what sort of response can we expect from the israeli government? clearly we are seeing the ramping up of security in the area. this is a tourist area as well. this is something which was targeted to hit israel in its most tender place really. these are young

israeli soldiers, women as well. this is just buy the old city, an area which is known for its tourism potential, so it is hitting israel in those ways. israel will obviously strike back. i think it is more at the moment, i mean obviously there will be action taken once they have discovered who the person is who carried out the attack. as israel does, they will perhaps not return the bodies of attackers. that is another move they have made but i think it will be more in the sense that the israelis and the hardline position that they have been taking will be re—strengthened and with the new president coming in in the us who seems to be more akin in his thinking perhaps to that way, we could see a much harder line again being taken by israel in response

also to developments recently in the un vote about the settlements which israel dislikes. that's the main significance of this, that we will seek a hardening from israel in negotiations with the palestinians. thank you. the queen has recovered from her heavy cold and was well enough to attend church at sandringham this morning — her first public appearance since the beginning of december. our royal correspondent daniela relph was there to see her. her report contains flash photography. it had been a much anticipated arrival. driven in a state bentley, it was the first time the queen had been seen in public since arriving at her sandringham estate before christmas. cheered as she emerged from the car. she arrived just before 11 o'clock, before the morning church service, accompanied by the duke of edinburgh. she had missed church on both christmas day and new years day because of a heavy, lingering cold. those who waited were pleased to see her. we saw her very close up and she looked a little bit

frail, to be honest, but it is nice to see her. yeah, it was very exciting. whenever you see her you get a bit of a buzz. it's good to know that she was coming. she looked quite bright and that was quite nice. the queen's speech, recorded a few weeks before christmas day, was one of the last times she had been seen. she had also carried out an investiture. but over the last three weeks she had been laid low. she was advised to stay inside and rest as a precaution to help her recovery. her presence at church over christmas is a set piece royal event so her absence inevitably causes concern and speculation. but royal officials always said this was a 90—year—old woman with a bad cold who needed time to get better. after church, the queen was driven back to the main house on the estate and she will remain in norfolk until next month. the israeli ambassador in london has apologised after the embassy‘s

political officer was secretly filmed saying he wanted to "take down" some british mps including the foreign office minister, sir alan duncan. shai masot was recorded by an undercover aljazeera reporter as he lunched with a female aide to the mp robert halfon — a former political director of the group, conservative friends of israel. mr masot is also heard describing the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, as an idiot. the ambassador, mark regev, said the comments did not reflect the israeli government's views. jane frances kelly reports. the emergence of the footage is highly embarrassing for the israelis. it shows shai masot dining with, among others, an aide to the conservative education minister, robert halfon. mr masot, a senior political adviser at the israeli embassy, says he would like to bring down a member of the british government. sir alan duncan has been a fierce

critic of israeli policy. just over two years ago, he described israel's control and division of the west bank city of hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where palestinians were treated as second—class citizens. in the covert footage, mr masot also describes sir alan's boss, borisjohnson, in less than flattering terms. sir crispin blunt, chair of the commons' foreign affairs select committee, described mr masot‘s comments about sir alan as outrageous and deserving of investigation. lord pollock, director of the conservative friends of israel said, "we utterly condemn any attempt to undermine sir alan duncan, or any minister or any member of parliament". in a statement, the foreign office said: while the british government is not taking any further action,

the film raises uncomfortable questions about mr masot, and just how much influence he has been able to wield. jane—frances kelly, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister says she will announce more details about her brexit plans over the coming weeks, insisting that britain will get the right deal. a lorry has rammed into a group of israeli soldiers injerusalem, killing four and injuring 15. the queen has attended church at sandringham, making her first appearance since missing services over christmas due to a heavy cold. time for the sport now and a full round—up from the bbc sports centre. we'll start with the fa cup because liverpool are going to have
