the prime minister gives her clearest indication yet that leaving the eu is likely to mean leaving the single market. in her first television interview of the year, theresa may says a new relationship is not about retaining aspects of the old one. often people talk in terms as if somehow leaving the eu but somehow keeping bits of the eu. as britain looks to relationships beyond europe, borisjohnson has been meeting members of donald trump's team in new york. also on the programme: four israeli soldiers are killed after a lorry is driven into them injerusalem — the palestinian driver is shot dead. snow and sub—zero temperatures lead to deaths across europe — from poland to italy and the greek islands. the queen attends church at sandringham — herfirst public appearance since recovering from a heavy cold. and who'll waltz away with the awards at the golden globes —

and will it be any clue to oscar success? good evening. the prime minister has said the government will take back control of britain's borders when we leave the eu and appeared to acknowledge that a new relationship is likely to mean leaving the single market. in herfirst interview of the new year, theresa may said we won't be keeping "bits" of our eu membership and that she doesn't see trade and immigration as a binary — either/or issue. mrs may said she'd be setting out details of her brexit strategy over the coming weeks. 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. she denied muddled thinking, said britain would take back control of its borders and appeared to him that would mean leaving the single market. people talk in terms of somehow leaving the eu but keeping bits of the eu. we are leaving, coming out so the question is, what is the right relationship for the uk to have with the european union when we are outside. the campaigners on both side of the argument took that asa both side of the argument took that as a clear signal we will leave the single market. labour are not satisfied. she had one question put to her three times and still not a nswered to her three times and still not answered it which was ru

prioritising immigration over access to the single market. i think now from the triggering of article 50 and the most important negotiations for a generation, we need more clarity. but nicola sturgeon want any move to take scotland out of the single market could trigger a second referendum on independence. they will be making a big mistake if they think i am nothing. we have to ask ourselves if we are happy with the kind of country we want to be determined by a right—wing power. theresa may does not want her time in downing street to be defined by brexit and she stressed that referendum vote was a demand for wider change to the way the country is run, so she is promising a programme of social reform which she says will help notjust the poorest but every level of society. it is

about us recognising our obligations as citizens within the communities we have here in the uk. it is about recognising that there is a role for government but it needs to ensure it is acting effectively in those areas it should be taking action. she says her government will tackle the housing crisis, fix a broken markets and change attitudes to mental health. her language is ambitious, she will bejudged health. her language is ambitious, she will be judged on whether her policies deliver the changes she is promising. mrs may was asked about donald trump and we are told the foreign secretary has been there with his team. the government is stepping up the efforts to build a relationship with the president—elect and his team. tonight donald trump, boris johnson had three hours of talks with key members of donald trump's

tea m with key members of donald trump's team in trump tower. they included the president—elect‘s son—in—law and his chief strategic and i am told these discussions were frank but positive with both sides stressing the importance of the special relationship, laying the groundwork for the prime minister to go visit the new president later this month. theresa may herself was talking about the importance of the special relationship today. she said she had good conversations on the phone with donald trump but she said she still found some of his comments about women in the past and acceptable. you do get the sense the government is having to work hard to make up the ground here and there is no suggestion borisjohnson will meet donald himself, whereas michael fallon arch, the former ukip leader has had three meetings and got his seat booked for the inauguration ceremony. four israeli soldiers were killed injerusalem today

number of arrests including members of the man's family. the israeli cabinet is saying it for now detained without trial those who it finds to be sympathising with islamic state although it has to be said that actions inspired by islamic state have been rare. what we have seen over the past 16 months in these palestinian attacks, most have been nice attacks. there have been some shootings as well. about 40 been some shootings as well. about a0 israelis have been killed during that period and more than 230 palestinians have been shot dead. israel says most of them were carrying out attacks, some were killed in clashes and in protest as well, but in the past few weeks, it had seemed there had been a big lull in these attacks and what will concern people now is any idea that

that could be changing. here, israel's ambassador to britain has apologised after a member of his staff was secretly recorded saying he wanted to "take down" certain mps. shai masot, a political advisor, was filmed by a reporter in a london restaurant. the minister he's referring to is sir alan duncan, who he claimed was creating "problems" for israel. sir alan has previously criticised israeli settlement building in the west bank. the authorities in florida have charged a 26—year old iraq veteran with the shooting at fort lauderdale airport which killed five people and injured several others. there are questions about why esteban santiago — who'd told the fbi he heard voices and was being controlled by the us government — was allowed to keep his weapon after being interviewed last year. the former iranian president akbar
