Out proposals for ending the stalemate in the brexit negotiations. In a landmark speech in florence, theresa may will offer to maintain payments into the eu budget in return for continued access to the Single Market for a transitional period of up to two years. She will say the eu has a profound sense of responsibility to agree a deal. From florence, our political editor, laura kuenssberg. This city might be an escape from westminster, yet the trickiness of our departure from the eu is no easier in a foreign language. And here on mainland europe, as at home, threats to theresa may lurk in many different corners. Before packing her bags, she had to try to get her cabinet onside. After two and a half hours, an oh so natural display. Look, we all smile and agree. Reporter is philip your new best friend . Cabinet united . Very united, very good, all behind the speech. Mr cairns, will eu leaders like what they hear in florence . Youll have to wait and see. We dont have to wait for all the detail, though, the Prime Minister is expected to say, for the first time explicitly, the uk will seek a transition deal that could be up to two years long, after we leave the eu. Shes likely to signal, too, she might be ready to offer 20 billion euros so that no other country loses out from brexit. But after we leave, the Prime Minister will make clear, again, she wants a bespoke trade arrangement, not a model based on any other. Remember in the referendum, leavers promised that we would get money back. But after a visit to number 10, this prominent eurosceptic sounds completely on board with paying, if only for a couple of years. Were leaving a big hole in their finances if we just leave. And if the European Union is going to deal constructively with us and reach a sensible agreement, well, then there are reasonable political and diplomatic reasons why we should help them. But in a transition, the eus top negotiator has been firm we would have to pay and play by their rules. Saying there are still big uncertainties around our approach. In government circles, though, there is hope this speech can unlock the eu impasse, that is why the plans have been carefully kept under wraps. And i have the british Prime Minister on the phone this afternoon dont tell the public, because the public will not be told. Laughter. But no more secrets on this speech, on how decades of membership, ties of money, of politics, will start to be phased out. There is much still for britain to decide, though, for the eu to discuss. This is still the overture before we finally depart. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news. North koreas leader has vowed to make President Trump pay dearly for threatening to destroy north korea if forced to defend itself. President trump made the remarks at the United Nations on tuesday.

He said, when asked about what this countermeasure could be, he said it would be the most powerful destination of a h bomb in the pacific.

Sources have told the bbc that theresa may will ask for a transition period of up to two years after the uk leaves in march 2019.

In return, she wants uk access to the eu Single Market and some form of Customs Union in the transition period. This will save british firms from a cliff edge situation and allow the uk time to negotiate new trade deals. This wont end the wrangling over money, though.

The head of facebook, mark zuckerberg, says the company will give the us Congress Information about thousands of political adverts that were paid for by russians during last years president ial election. He said he would work with others towards new standards of transparency for political advertising. In future all such adverts will make it clear who paid for them. 0ur north america editorjon sopel has more from washington. It is significant. After the eu referendum, in britain, the phrase that gained currency was post truth. Often, in the president ial election, last year, it felt like we were going through no truth. Social media was awash with advertisements masquerading as serious news stories. They were invariably fake, and they were also invariably in favour of donald trump and against Hillary Clinton. Things like, Hillary Clinton sold weapons to Islamic State, Hillary Clinton has had murdered her fbi officer involved in unmasking the e mail enquiry, and also things like, in a surprise move, donald trump gains the backing of pope francis. Now, all of this had an impact because at the end of the election, more people were reading the fake news stories, according to a survey, than the real news. Under enormous pressure, facebook is going to show the transparency that it has often talked about and is going to reveal just where the source of those adverts came from, how much the russians paid, where they were all going. Now, this will answer one question from the president ial election, the extent of russian involvement. The question it will not answer is what impact those fake news stories had on the electorate that will still be hotly contested between the Trump Supporters who will say it had no impact, and the Hillary Clinton supporters who said it changed the election result. A Global Survey commissioned by the bbc has found increasing opposition to any form of governmental regulation of the internet. It found that the proportion opposed to regulation has risen from 51 to 58 since 2010. Only two of the countries surveyed britain and china were in favour. The survey also found that 80 of those questioned were anxious about fake content on the internet. And for more on all our stories and analysis from our correspondents just go to our website.

But renowned french chef sebastien bras has asked to be stripped of his prestigious three stars. He says the pressure to earn them again every year at his restaurant in the village of laguiole, in Southern France is proving too much of a strain. Sarah corker reports perched above the aubrac plateau, in Southern France, the food at le suquet is inspired by the forests and meadows nearby. Critics describe sebastien brass food as spellbinding, but the celebrated chef is walking away from the ultra competitive world of michelin star cooking. The pressure to satisfy the food inspectors has proved too much. Translation well, we have been carrying these stars for ten years but for a few years now, we have been saying to ourselves, but for how long will we continue to have this tension felt every day . For how long . Do we want this until the end of our career . The chef announced the news in this facebook video. He wants to be dropped from the famous red guide so he can start a new chapter in his life. The chef is famed in france for his gargouillou a mix of up to 80 vegetables, hearbs and flowers.

Mr brass decision has shocked some in the culinary world, reigniting a debate, in france, over the pressures faced by top chefs. Translation the offer is not going to change. I even think my kitchen is going to somehow feel liberated, open minded, more relaxed. Just asking to return the stars does not mean michelin will automatically remove the restaurant. It says it will consider the request. But mr bras says he wants to be free to cook in serenity. Sarah corker, bbc news.

Dont forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter im james menendez. I will be back with the headlines and then it is business with rachel. Hello. As one weather front clears away from the uk, another is on the way in in the day ahead a day that starts chilly under largely clear skies, especially in rural spots, low single figures and a touch of frost on the grass and maybe the cars, and perhaps some spots in scotland all the way down to freezing as the day begins. Here is the next weather system. To start friday, it will push quickly. Rain across Northern Island with a freshening wind. Just fringing into the western scotland at this stage. This is the picture across the uk at 8am. Away from the rain, it will be a chilly but sunny start for many of us. Bear in mind there could be a few mist and fog patches, more in parts of england and wales and perhaps more likely in parts of east anglia and south east england. We wont all see it but where you do, be aware that that is a possibility. It should not last too long in the morning. We are watching the system come in. A wet morning in Northern Ireland but in the afternoon, the rain pulls away and brightens up. Quite windy with that through the irish sea. Quite blowy on some coasts. Outbreaks of rain push across scotland into wales and western england. Maybe a few spots in the midlands, north east england. But much of east anglia and south east england will stay dry. Perhaps some sunny spells the further east you are. Temperatures to 19 degrees. Quite cool you have the cloud, the rain and the brisk wind. This weather system looks like it stalls across parts of england and wales going through friday night with patchy light rain and drizzle but it does mean going into saturday morning, it will be much more milder compared with friday morning. The big picture going into the weekend has a deep area of low pressure to the west of the uk not too concerned about that, its pushing its way north, but the trailing weather front looks like it will come in and ahead of it, there will be quite a windy picture for some of us in Western Areas during saturday. The wind will freshen with perhaps gales developing in places. A lot of cloud and patchy rain to begin with in england and wales on saturday, pushing northwards into some of scotland, though the far north of scotland should stay sunny. Some sunny spells in Northern Ireland. But brightening up nicely through much of wales and southern england through the day. And some warmth in the southerly flow with temperatures up to around 20 or 21 celsius. For sunday, some uncertainty about the positioning of this area of rain coming in from the west. But either side of it, there will be some sunny spells and the wind is easing during sunday. This is bbc world news, the headlines. The british Prime Minister is in florence, to set out her proposals for brexit. The bbc understands theresa may will propose a 2 year transitional deal for the uk to try to secure a smooth exit from the European Union. The war of words between the United States and north korea is intensifying. Kim jong un has describes President Trump as mentally deranged, after his anti pyongyang speech at the un. Mr trump has announced more trade sanctions. Protests continue a cross catalonia after the Spanish Government imposed daily fines on separatists organising an independence referendum. The Spanish Government says any vote on a split from spain would be illegal. The mexican president has promised to continue the search for earthquake survivors. He said rescuers are still looking for anyone alive in the ruins
