To norway. And coming up in the sport on bbc news a record january transfer window sees premier league clubs outspend their counterparts in spain, italy, france and germany put together. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Prime Minister says britain and china are enjoying a golden era in their relationship, after meeting the countrys president xijinping in beijing. On the second day of her trip to try to boost trade between the two countries, theresa may said she hoped her visit would strengthen the Global Strategic Partnership between the uk and china. Robin brant reports from china. There is some flash photography in this report, from shanghai. Day two of her trip, it was time to see the sights. With her husband, philip, at her side, the Prime Minister toured the forbidden city but there was no stopping talk of brexit following her. In beijing, with one eye on brussels, the Prime Minister signalled she will fight proposals to give uk residency rights to eu citizens who come during the post brexit transitionary period. Theres a pushback aimed at critics on her own side. A tory mp has accused mrs may of governing like a tortoise when what is needed is a lion. A cabinet minister with her on her trip says the doubters need to see things more like her hosts do. They are looking at performance, they are looking to see what the uk is doing and they look at the Prime Minister in a different way than some of the internal tearoom discussions in the uk do. The problem for dr fox is that sometimes the discussions in the tearooms of westminster are similar to what is being talked by the leaders in the teahouses of china. In both cases they see a Prime Minister on the road beating the drum for trade but they also see a leader weakened by that general election result with a cloud of uncertainty from brexit hanging over her. Sowing the seeds for the uk china relationship after brexit is part of the focus of this trip. That includes science collaboration as china tries to rely less on importing food. Then there is britains cultural export. We know that dr who and Downton Abbey are great successes here in china. Ive just been meeting the Company Responsible for something that i have to confess i havent seen. I have seen Downton Abbey and dr who. I have not watched octonauts. It is a uk childrens cartoon which is apparently being enjoyed by millions of children here in china. Away from entertainment and back to business, this was the most important meeting of the day with chinas president. The Prime Minister wants to deepen what she called the Global Strategic Partnership. It was almost certainly one conversation over tea that didnt touch on her leadership problems. We drink lapsang. Robin brant, bbc news, shanghai. Speaking while in china, theresa may has signalled that she will fight a demand by the European Union that eu citizens who move to the uk during the transition period, after march 2019, will be given full residency rights. The Prime Minister said that in the Eu Referendum people had not voted for nothing to change. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. 0h, smite all smiles, 0h, smite allsmiles, in 0h, smite all smiles, in december the eu gave the green light for talks and trade and transition period of about two years after brexit, but now theres a snag. The government thought it was agreed that full eu Citizens Rights to work here would end after brexit in march 2019. Now the eu says those rights should be extended until the end of any transition. In their view, december 20 20. To many brexiteers, thats unacceptable. This is an issue that we cant come from eyes on. We do need to make it absolutely sure that any eu citizens who come here during the transitional period will not begin in the permanent right to reside in this country. Well have left the European Union and they cant expect the same provisions to prevail after weve gone. The same provisions to prevail after weve gone. And the pressure from those pro brexit backbenchers, theresa may told reporters on her trip to china that innocence brexit means brexit. People coming to britain after march 2019th in the full knowledge that weve left the eu should be treated differently. A point repeated by her ministers in the commons. The Citizens Rights agreement reached in december does give certainty about the rights of eu citizens already here Going Forward but this agreement does not cover those arriving after we leave the eu. So what would this mean in practice . Well, the only change that eu citizens would see if they come here during a transition period is theyd have to register. But if they wa nted theyd have to register. But if they wanted to stay on beyond that transition period, the government says new rules could be applied depending on the negotiations that might mean the need for a work permit or visa. Government sources say eu citizens wouldnt be thrown out, but pro eu campaigners are more worried that they might not come in the first place. A message to eu migrants is absolutely unequivocal. If you want to come here you will have less rights than the people you are working alongside, less rights than the people you are living alongside, and that you will have no security in this country. Speculation about theresa mays future continues at westminster and shes been offered apparently helpful advice by the man she sacked as chancellor and who campaigned against leaving the eu. The conservative party, which i have worked very hard over my lifetime to put back in a position where it could be the government, must offer to the country a big plan for the future, big ideas, big vision, a plan to engage with the rest of the world like china, or indeed a form of frexit which is not as economic as damaging as some of the forms being produced waveform of brexit. I would being produced waveform of brexit. Iwould humbly being produced waveform of brexit. I would humbly suggest thats whats required. Brexit. I would humbly suggest thats whats required. Its increasingly apparent the Prime Minister doesnt simply have to negotiate with the eu, but with members of her own party as well. Iain watson, bbc news, westminster. In a moment well get the picture from adam fleming in brussels, but first our assistant Political Editor norman smith is in westminster. What reaction to what theresa may was saying . By and large mrs mays critics have been pretty pleased because it suggests that the next round of transition talks are going to bea round of transition talks are going to be a bit ofa round of transition talks are going to be a bit of a rough house. I think many people thought there were going to be a walk in the park. Now it looks like there will be some serious rows, and for mrs may it enables her to turn to her critics say, look, im nota enables her to turn to her critics say, look, im not a pushover, enables her to turn to her critics say, look, im nota pushover, im not going to be rolled over, im going to stand my ground, were not going to stand my ground, were not going to stand my ground, were not going to be a vassal state. So she makes a stand over freedom of movement. Shes also reassured her critics this transition period is only going to be around two years. This morning david davis has said there is also going to be a bust up over our right to negotiate our own trade agreements during this transition period. All of which has been welcomed by her critics, evidence that team made are flexing their muscles. The difficulty of this misleads may have to backpedal, if she has to compromise and thats been the story of the brexit negotiations so far. You will give a bit and then well give a bit. But at the end of the day if we end up with some sort of bunch over the issue of freedom of movement, with maybe new eu rivals having to register, but may still enjoying residency rights, then the backlash from mrs mays critics is likely to be all the more ferocious. It seems to me shes won herself some applause, some temporary breathing space, but if she backs down on her position could be even more precarious. Norman, thank you. Adam fleming in brussels, what awaits her there, given everything at norman was just saying . There, given everything at norman wasjust saying . Well, i harrald verhofstadt, the member of the European Parliament who coordinates the parliaments brexit work is off work sick today but he tweeted from his sick bed saying these rights are absolutely non negotiable guy verhofstadt. He says the eu will not accept a situation where european citizens who moved to the uk before brexit day have one set of rights, but eu citizens who moved to the uk after brexit date have a different set of rights during the transition period. Thats what he feels about it when hes under the weather, not very happy. As for the european commission, which runs the brexit talks, their Vice President said he didnt want to comment on comments made by the british Prime Minister while she was on the other side of the world. He said he would rather wait to see the official british position put forward in the negotiations. By complete coincidence the Campaign Groups that represent the citizens affected, eu nationals in the uk, british people in the eu, they are in brussels for an event and they are dismayed about all of this. Well only know for sure what happens when the talks get under way about the transition period and there are no dates for them in the diary as yet. Adam fleming in brussels and norman smith in westminster, thank you. The average age of people who have a stroke for the first time in england has fallen in the past decade. Figures from Public Health england show that while the majority of strokes occur in people over the age of 70, more than a third of first time strokes hit adults between a0 and 69. Heres our health correspondent, catherine burns. I had a stroke. I had ihada i had a stroke. I had a stroke. Adrian jones was just 53 when he happened to him. He says his stroke has changed his life, that he used to walk 50 miles a week, now he struggles over short distances. I didnt feel too great straightaway and when i twisted and tried to stand up i immediately fell over and i couldnt feel, i had no sensation on my left side at all. So, i didnt know what had happened, obviously panicking. The older you are the greater your chance of having a stroke, but the average age for men having a stroke has fallen from 71 to 68. For women, its gone from 75 to 73. Figures from Public Health england show almost 60 of first time stroke patients were 70 or over. But theres been an increase in middle aged people being affected. In 2007, about 15 of people having a first stroke were aged between a0 and 59. By 2016, it had gone up to 20 . I think the first thing is awareness that stroke can happen. Awareness how awful stroke can be, and therefore it really is worth making an effort right from the beginning of your life, or as soon as you become an adult, to be thinking about the longer term, not to think that stroke is just a disease for older people. If someone is having a stroke its vital to get help quickly. So a campaigns been launched to help people recognise the symptoms. If people can get a hospital quickly, get the life saving treatment that they need within three hours, it means that not only is their life going to be saved but also theyre likely to live a life with reduced disability and burden associated with stroke, so please do act fast. Face has it fallen on one side . Arms, can they raise them . Speech, is it slurred . Its worth saying too, a0 to 7a year olds in england are eligible for Health Checks to help spot the early signs of various conditions including strokes. Catherine burns, bbc news. Lifetime doping bans given to 28 russian olympic athletes have been overturned by the court of arbitration for sport. The court said the evidence provided by the International Olympic committee wasnt sufficient to punish the athletes and their results from the 201a sochi games will now be reinstated. 0ur Sports CorrespondentAlex Capstick is here. How has this come about . What is the courts ruling . How has this come about . What is the courts ruling .

An ioc investigation found more than a0 russian athletes had benefited from the system and handed them lifetime bans. All but one appeal to the court of arbitration for sport and they were held in geneva last week. What will be a shock to anti doping campaigners, the court of arbitration for sport said there wasnt enough evidence to prove that 28 of these athletes had in fact cheated at those games so they are now free to compete. Theyve been cleared completely. A others have been found to have committed doping violations but whilst their lifetime bans have been reduced most wont be allowed to compete in pyeongchang ii reduced most wont be allowed to compete in pyeongchang 11 others have been found.

The ioc have said they are very disappointed by the decision but they say it doesnt mean these athletes are innocent or that they will be invited to south korea to compete as part of the neutral team, 169 athletes have been invited from russia. As for russia, as you would expect, theyve welcomed the decision. 0ne leading official from the welcomed the decision. 0ne leading officialfrom the kremlin has said its a victory forjustice, but with just our top story this lunchtime.

Theresa may says britain and china are enjoying a golden era in their relationship. And still to come why facebooks profits are up despite users spending less time on the social network. Coming up in sport Manchester United bossjose mourinho slams his sides ridiculous start, conceding just 11 seconds into their 2 0 defeat to spurs in the premier league last night. Ido i do apologise we will get there eventually. I do hope the story is worth waiting for the economic gap between the north and south of england will continue to grow, unless the government prioritises education and skills thats the warning from the Northern Powerhouse partnership, a body set up to try to re balance the uk economy. It says pupils in the north are on average one gcse grade behind those in the south and that the region is being held back by a lack of investment in education. Nina warhurst reports. If your child is born in the north east their chances of going to an Underperforming School are three times higher than if they were born in london. Todays report asks for £300 million of new money for the north for early years and asks every northern business to play its part by mentoring the young. Weve got to put education at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse and this is a call to arms to say it doesnt have to be the case that schools in the north underperform schools in the south, so weve got a big plan working across the parties with businesses to bring reform, investment and business involvement into our schools. How are you finding the Communications Time on a wednesday . George osborne wants businesses to follow barclays lead. They have more than 500 apprentices across the north. They say they want northern talent to stay here. I think it was an opportunity that i was quite surprised to find that i didnt have to move away for. Because i think my kind of preconception was, you would probably have to move to have a really good career. But now, you know, my views completely changed on that now that ive found the Degree Programme because you can do it from anywhere. The authors of the report focused on northern employers who consistently pointed to poor skills and inadequate training. They also said they worry about the brain drain of northern talent disappearing south, and all of that feeds into a gap in productivity thats getting wider. The government says it is stepping up after being accused of neglecting the north from the day George Osborne left downing street. One of the real unsung bits about our Northern Powerhouse is the £70 million weve put into our Northern Powerhouse school strategy, which goes all the way from early years provision and making sure thats as good as it can be to the maths and english hubs that we have set up. Were going to do some more division. Its a complicated equation, more government money plus more Business Investment could equal 850,000 newjobs in the north by 2050. But can the maths add up .
