In the south of england and its cities like london, and thats where the real focus of the effort needs to go. Hello. Welcome to the programme, were live until 11 this morning. Question how do you handle being late . Iam i am thoroughly ashamed at not being in my place, and therefore, i shall be offering my resignation to the Prime Minister. Itjust seemed so disproportionate, offering to quit hisjob, or maybe not. The Prime Minister has refused his resignation. We hope to talk to lord bates on the Programme Today. What did you make of what he did . Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning use the hashtag victorialive and if you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Theresa may says she will fight eu proposals to give eu rights residency rise to eu citizens who moved to britain during the transition period. The Prime Minister said there should be a difference between people who arrive in britain before march 2019, when the uk is due to leave the eu, and those who arrived after that. Norman is in westminster. Why is the Prime Minister picking this issue to have a fight on when Everything Else in the transition period were pretty much look and feel like britain is still in the eu . Because, i suppose, it is for many people are the key issue in the whole brexit saga. What was the issue which came up again and again in the referendum . Very often, it tended to be immigration. So for many people, it is fundamental that if we are leaving the eu, then the current freedom of movement rules cannot just the eu, then the current freedom of movement rules cannotjust carry on. Life cant continue as before. But the eu say, this transition period is pretty much a standstill moment. Nothing is going to change, and that applies to freedom of movement. So as they say, during that transition period, eu citizens will still have the right to come here. More than that, there will have the right to bring their relatives. They will have the right to education, benefits and all the rights they currently have. Mrs may is saying thatis currently have. Mrs may is saying that is unacceptable. British voters just will not understand that. So we are heading for a major clash over what i suppose was perhaps the central issue of the whole brexit campaign. And bear in mind that mrs may is under huge pressure from many in her own party, particularly the brexiteers, who take the view that she has already caved in to much. They are unhappy that she has agreed a sizeable divorce bill of up to £39 billion. They are not happy that there is even a transition period, so there is even a transition period, so she is under pressure not to give more ground. And it seems she has chosen to make a stand on this issue of freedom of movement. What it suggests is that getting agreement on this transition period is going to be tougher than any of us thought. The calculation was that they want a transition period, so we should be able to agree it quickly. If there is going to be a major showdown over freedom of movement, that may be quite optimistic and we could be in for a rough ride if we are to get a deal on transition. But how will fight like this go down with people in her party and the wider electorate . Depends how it pans out. If she emerges victorious, fine. If, however, we end up with a slightly soggy compromise, then it could be difficult. Bear in mind that when mrs may sits down at the negotiating table, a lot of people would say actually, the eu have the whip hand, because whereas the eu to date have been remarkably united and they agreed their proposals for this transition period in two minutes flat. So they are pretty united, whereas on our side, we know there are huge divisions in government. There is a lack of clarity about what we are trying to achieve. And as they know, there is pressure on mrs may. So the eu negotiators may well think they can play hardball and push mrs may pretty hard on this. Annita is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. As weve heard, theresa may is in china, and shes currently holding talks with the countrys president xijinping. Lets go live to beijing and our correspondent there, stephen mcdonell. Tell us more about what the agenda is for these talks. I am standing outside the great hall of the people, chinas parliament. The Prime Ministers motorcade hasjust raced through the street behind me on her way to her meeting with residents see jumping. On her way to her meeting with residents seejumping. President xi. She is focusing on trade talks. She is meeting one of the two most powerful people in the world, xi jinping, with hundreds of billions of dollars of trade talks on offer. And yet discussions are still being dominated by the talk of brexit and the rights of eu citizens in this window period. When she meets with xijinping today, it is window period. When she meets with xi jinping today, it is also possible that they will be discussing moves that the European Security council to get tougher on north korea. There have also been talks for her to raise questions about hong kong, the former richest colony and the fact that people are seeing their freedoms disappearing. But all of this is ironically being swamped by brexit, and i think people are seeing this as a distraction when there are important economic matters to be discussed on this trip.

Lets get some sport. Hugh is here. It was a record breaking transfer window as premier league clubs continue to spend massive amounts of money . They did. Well, its finally over the rigmarole for clubs of chasing down players and getting deals done, for fans anxiously checking social media forjust the smallest rumour and for us, trying to keep you updated with all the movements right down to last nights deadline day. And on the finance front, it was once again a record breaking window. Danjones is here from Accountancy Firm deloitte. £430 million was spent by premier league clubs in january. Interestingly, that is more than spain, germany, france and italy combined. Are we an extreme spending mould, or are those other countries just not spending . It isjust in proportion to how well those leagues are doing financially. England is 110w are doing financially. England is now so are doing financially. England is now so far ahead of the rest of the world in terms of the scale of the premier league. There are big clubs in the other countries, but the strength and depth of the premier league is what stands out. So that spending on the premier league is in standing with their level as the leading league in football. Premier League Football seems to be an economic bubble. I cant think of anything other than bitcoin which seems to be consistently going up by so much. 10 million spent in 2007 in january, 150 million this january. Why the huge jump . Revenues have gone up why the huge jump . Revenues have gone up across why the huge jump . Revenues have gone up across the board. You talk about it being like bitcoin. Maybe the pace of growth is not so quick, but it is consistent growth. There has never been a dip in the premier league. And we dont see that changing any time soon. The new tv deals are being negotiated at the moment. We are expecting more growth then as well. As long as there is growth in revenue at the top, that money will filter its way to players, wages and transfers, because that is what people pay to see. They want the best talent. And we particularly see the best talent at manchester city. They have a massive lead at the top of the table, so that money has turned into results. They expect more money they spent more money on their goalkeeping and defence than two country spent on the actual defence budgets. Why has that club been able to sustain its spending . Increasingly successful on the pitch as well, the more successful you are on the pitch, the more broadcast and match day revenue you get, and the more sponsors want to be associated with you. They are the Real Driving Force Going Forward financially. Last january it was about the bottom is expending to stay up. This time it has been the top six spending to try to get in the Champions League for next year. Thanks so much for coming into the bbc sports centre. A new tv deal as well for premier league clubs. All of the moves from the january transfer window you can find on the bbc sport website. We will be back with more sport shortly. Welcome to the programme. We are pleased to have you with us. Now, this sounds like an unlikely Church Congregation former gang members. Former violent gang members. But its true. Weve been given exclusive access to the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church in south london, where more than half the worshippers used to be in a gang. The church is on a mission to save troubled youths, providing a safe space where they can go and talk to someone, and their approach has been welcomed by the met police. It is the Largest Force in england and wales. 0ur reporter Noel Phillips has been to see how it works. This is how one church is using former gang members to tackle knife crime. Before i actually became a gang member, i was actually stabbed on my way home back from the football. The lives of these young men may be the most remarkable. Some were once notorious gangsters but now they have put their past behind them for one common goal, to prevent violence and save lives. If you dont let me walk. If you do not let me walk away. If you do not let me walk. I said give me that. Ok, so these people have been caught shoplifting by the Security Guard and they are not trying to get caught. Weve had times when people are coming to the altar and dropping their drugs on the altar. The pastor responsible for their transformation claims that successive governments have failed to get a grip on Violent Crime and it is now time for the church to take action. Over 55 of the people in the church were ex gang members, drug dealers. Last year, 2017, we had over 1000 people, young people, came forward to renounce that life. No, no, no. We are inside spac nation, known as Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, based in south london, where preachings are tailored to a different kind of congregation. Former armed robbers, drug dealers and gang members. A far cry from the life they once lived. This is not a normal pentecostal church. Its a place where the word of god is being used to reform ex criminals, like 26 year old kevin, who was recently in prison for attempted murder. Last year and this year is the first, is actually the first time that i havent been into prison, so, do you see what im saying to you . So its something thats working. Do you, are you confident that this will work and you will stay out of prison, perhaps for the rest of your life . Its working, its working. Im confident, its working. The church has over 1,000 members and is led by this man. He is basically like our prophet. He is our teacher, who teaches us about the word, and we dont idolise him but we come to him because he knows more about it than we do. Who you might feel is not worthy, actually, that is who god uses, because theyve been there. They know how to go back to the prisons. Back to the estates. So i want to know how this 37 year old pastor has taken some of britains toughest gang members off the streets and into the church. I understand that our approach is different from a traditional church. So ive got to look at them, ive got to connect. Thats really out of my way, to be honest with you. I would never have dreamt of wearing ripped jeans as a pastor. I mean, that is quite extraordinary. I mean, you, yourjeans are ripped. Youre not in a suit. Youre very casual. For a lot of people, that would be quite difficult. Thats not pastoral, is it . But no, the generations are changing. Ive got to look like the people im trying to talk to and you do realise that ive got access and i speak to the worst of the worst, the people that have done the most despicable things. I sit down with them and we talk. The son of a preacher, pastor tobi moved to the uk from nigeria 12 years ago. Since then, he has expanded his church, with over 15 other the former mp, now chief of staff to the Prime Minister, gavin barwell, met members last year and praised the churchs approach to tackling knife crime. You cant rely on the government to change your life on its own. But labelled as a cult, people on social media have accused pastor tobi of attracting young men and women from troubled backgrounds to his church using materialistic things such as money and wealth. If a cult means helping young people and reducing the number of
