And well meet one of britains most prolific organ donors whos already donated a kidney, 16 eggs and 80 pints of blood to people shes never met and plans to do much, much more. Hello. Welcome to the programme, were live until 11am. Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning use the hashtag victorialive. We will bring you the latest news and stories throughout the day. What do you want to hear theresa may say in her Big Brexit Speech which is due at around 1145, you will see that on bbc news. If you have donated an organ, tell us if you have donated an organ, tell us what motivated you. If you have received a strangers organ, tell us about that as well. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Our top story. The Prime Minister will this morning set out her vision for the terms of the uks departure from the European Union. Theresa may has a list of 12 demands for brexit, and its being trailed as a clean break from the eu. Shell say she doesnt want a half in half out membership but a global britain, trading with everyone. Well talk to norman smith in Downing Street shortly but first our Political Correspondent Carole Walker has this report. After months of pressure to tell us more about her brexit plan, theresa may will strike an optimistic note, telling us she wants a truly global britain, which gets out into the world. The Prime Minister may not be explicit but she will again signal that shes ready to take britain out of the european Single Market, and perhaps the Customs Union, too, in order to gain control of immigration and freedom from european law. I think its highly likely well be coming out of the formal structures of the Customs Union and the Single Market, just because thats the way we can really grasp the golden opportunities that brexit presents, not just for controlling immigration but also free trade opportunities. Shell tell eu leaders. But shell say she wants a new and equal partnership, declaring. Donald trumps offer of a quick, fair trade deal with the uk got the thumbs up from leading brexiteers, but whilst the President Elect said the uk was so smart to vote for brexit, those who disagree want britain to fight to stay in the Single Market. I think the Prime Minister must not wave the white flag and give up on our membership of the Single Market if she cares about britains future. If shes going to fight for britain and fight our corner, then she needs to fight to be in the Single Market even if we leave the European Union. She also needs to indicate that the final deal will be put to the british people. Theresa may will set out 12 priorities for a deal. But she faces two years of hard bargaining with 27 members determined to safeguard the future of the eu without britain. Norman, how much detail will we guest promises made today . You know those colouring in books which are so popular now a day, today we get what i think is the brexit colouring book, the big picture, the outlines, but do not expect theresa may to pick up a felt tip and start colouring in any detail. We will get her vision, her ambition, but in terms of policy, i think lots of people will be pretty disappointed today. Let me take you through it. On trade she will tell as we are leaving the Single Market but she will not say whether we are also leaving the bigger Customs Union, the broader European Economic area which ensures that goods do not have to phase Customs Checks and terrorists. They are Still Deciding whether we are in all out of the Customs Union. Have to phase Customs Checks and tariffs. How will theresa may draw down the numbers . Do not expect a nswe is down the numbers . Do not expect answers today. Summon government think we should have freedom of movement light, to say to work as you can come here if you have a job. Others want a much more restrictive system with quotas for particular sectors, setting limits. There is theissue sectors, setting limits. There is the issue of the so called transitional deal, to give Breathing Space before we eventually leave the eu. Mrs may has said she is in favour of an implementation period but we do not know how long that will be, how much we might have to pay for it. I think by the end of the day a lot of people will be thinking about she has an awful lot more colouring in to do. Cheers for the moment, norman.
