hoping to open the way to a trade deal after Brexit.

:00:09.:00:13.

But will, in Mrs May's words, opposites attract, after President

:00:14.:00:17.

Trump's controversial support for waterboarding?

:00:18.:00:20.

We'll be live in Washington and in Westminster asking what each

side hopes to achieve in this crucial first meeting.

:01:07.:01:24.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:25.:01:31.

Theresa May is preparing to meet Donald Trump in the White House

:01:32.:01:35.

in a few hours' time - the first foreign leader to visit

:01:36.:01:38.

Global security and a trade deal after Brexit are likely

:01:39.:01:42.

In a speech to US Republicans last night, Mrs May said the UK

:01:43.:01:47.

and America could not return to failed military interventions

:01:48.:01:50.

Her visit comes amid ongoing controversy over President Trump's

:01:51.:01:55.

support for the waterboarding of terror suspects and his war

:01:56.:02:00.

of words with Mexico over the building of a border wall.

:02:01.:02:02.

Here's our correspondent Richard Lister.

:02:03.:02:10.

She will hope the blustery conditions aren't a portent for the

:02:11.:02:15.

meeting to come. Washington has rolled out the red carpet for

:02:16.:02:18.

Theresa May but the Prime Minister will have to tread carefully with a

:02:19.:02:23.

controversial President who is used to getting his own way. Her priority

:02:24.:02:26.

is to lay the groundwork for a trade deal with the US to counterbalance

:02:27.:02:33.

Britain's departure from the EU. On the key side in Liverpool cars

:02:34.:02:38.

bound for the United States and construction equipment too.

:02:39.:02:40.

President Trump has promised a building boom and Britain wants a

:02:41.:02:44.

part of that. For us as a company if we can get a slice of that we can

:02:45.:02:47.

export the goods that he needs to carry on with that construction he

:02:48.:02:51.

is looking at. Britain's trading relationship with

:02:52.:02:53.

the United States is already a healthy one. The value of our

:02:54.:02:59.

exports to the US is ?45 billion. That's a fifth of UK global exports

:03:00.:03:04.

and we sell them more than we buy with imports totalling 35 billion,

:03:05.:03:09.

we export more to the US than we do to any other country. But we are

:03:10.:03:12.

only America's fifth biggest market. We need them more than they need us.

:03:13.:03:18.

In his first week as President, Donald Trump has said repeatedly his

:03:19.:03:22.

strategy will be buy American, hire American. And although he wants

:03:23.:03:27.

bilateral trade deals they'll come with conditions attached. We want to

:03:28.:03:33.

deal with the ones that treat us well and finance they don't treat us

:03:34.:03:38.

well we terminate for give them a notice and if they want to negotiate

:03:39.:03:43.

we get a better deal. Until we leave the EU only Brussels can make UK

:03:44.:03:47.

trade deals. The Chancellor's there today and he accepted Britain's

:03:48.:03:52.

hands are currently tied. We will continue to abide by the rules and

:03:53.:03:56.

regulations and laws of the European Union for so long as we are members.

:03:57.:04:02.

Of course we want to strengthen our trade ties with the very many trade

:04:03.:04:05.

partners we have around the world but we are mindful of our

:04:06.:04:09.

obligations anned the treaty and we will follow them precisely. For now,

:04:10.:04:15.

the key players in Europe are wary of what MrTrump has to offer.

:04:16.:04:19.

TRANSLATION: Let's speak frankly, there are challenges that the US

:04:20.:04:23.

administration poses to our trade rules. So we of course have to talk

:04:24.:04:28.

to Donald Trump, he was elected. But we also have to promote our interest

:04:29.:04:33.

and values as Europeans. Back in Liverpool, this golden eagle

:04:34.:04:37.

marks the US kons lat established here in 1790. A reminder of

:04:38.:04:42.

long-standing Anglo American trade ties. Today, it's a French

:04:43.:04:46.

restaurant. That's a reminder the relationship can't be taken for

:04:47.:04:50.

granted. The assumption that everything will be fine with British

:04:51.:04:55.

trade is assuming that the Trump and his administration are rationale

:04:56.:04:58.

actors, they'll behave rationally but they might not. The picture may

:04:59.:05:00.

become clearer later today. In a moment we'll get

:05:01.:05:04.

the latest from Westminster, but first to Washington

:05:05.:05:06.

and our correspondent Theresa May is the first foreign

:05:07.:05:14.

leader to visit, does this mean that the special relationship does count

:05:15.:05:20.

for something there? Well, I just asked Donald Trump's spokeswoman

:05:21.:05:24.

that question and she said it's as important to America as to Britain,

:05:25.:05:29.

she said Donald Trump would use this meeting to assure MrsMay of that and

:05:30.:05:33.

she made the comparison with Brexit and his election, she said both

:05:34.:05:36.

leaders have been propelled into power and leadership by a populous

:05:37.:05:40.

wave that was to shake up establishment institutions, but,

:05:41.:05:43.

frankly, it's obvious that there is much more at stake here from MrsMay

:05:44.:05:49.

than MrTrump because Britain's other strategic relationship with the

:05:50.:05:53.

European Union is in flux, she can't afford to have this relationship

:05:54.:05:56.

look like it's getting weaker. She needs to show it's getting stronger,

:05:57.:06:00.

to demonstrate that Britain has options outside of the EU. Whatever

:06:01.:06:04.

MrTrump might say about similarities, he is quite different

:06:05.:06:07.

in the sense that he is a protectionist, he is a hard

:06:08.:06:10.

nationalist and MrsMay is not. She's already tried to encourage him not

:06:11.:06:13.

to turn his back on the world. I think she will continue that today.

:06:14.:06:18.

Then the question of how much she wants a personal special

:06:19.:06:22.

relationship with this man who is criticised even reviled in Britain

:06:23.:06:26.

for his positions from everything from Muslims and women, to torture.

:06:27.:06:29.

So, that news conference later today will be an important test of how

:06:30.:06:31.

she's going to handle this relationship.

:06:32.:06:36.

And what has MrsMay got to do to come away from feeling this first

:06:37.:06:41.

meeting was a success, Carole? Well, I think the Prime Minister will want

:06:42.:06:45.

to establish that personal relationship, a rapport with the new

:06:46.:06:49.

American President. She will want to build the basis for a future trade

:06:50.:06:55.

deal. She will want to, frankly, navigate her way through this mine

:06:56.:06:59.

field of different areas where she and the American President

:07:00.:07:02.

profoundly disagree. As you heard there, they are two very different

:07:03.:07:06.

characters but on the plane on the way over Theresa May said, well,

:07:07.:07:11.

sometimes opposites can attract. I think she will want to look to

:07:12.:07:14.

economic ties, to build on President trump's offer to put Britain at the

:07:15.:07:20.

front of the queue when it comes to a future bilaterial trade deal, then

:07:21.:07:25.

you come to these difficult contentious issues, torture,

:07:26.:07:29.

President trump has said he would be prepared to allow waterboarding in

:07:30.:07:33.

the fight against terrorism although some senior figures in his team

:07:34.:07:37.

disagree. Theresa May has said that would cause huge problems for future

:07:38.:07:40.

co-operation on defence and intelligence. It will be a real test

:07:41.:07:47.

of Theresa May's diplomatic skills, whether she can build that personal

:07:48.:07:50.

relationship without appearing too much to pander to a man with such

:07:51.:07:58.

contentious views so she would face a backlash when she gets home. Thank

:07:59.:08:02.

you both very much. You can see full coverage of that

:08:03.:08:06.

visit to Washington on the BBC News channel, including that news

:08:07.:08:09.

conference with Donald Trump which is expected around 6pm.

:08:10.:08:14.

The Royal College of Surgeons says plans to cut knee and hip

:08:15.:08:17.

replacement operations in Worcestershire are alarming.

:08:18.:08:19.

Three commissioning groups in the county say

:08:20.:08:20.

very obese patients - and those who are in

:08:21.:08:22.

only moderate pain - will not qualify for the surgery.

:08:23.:08:25.

They say the plan will save ?2 million a year,

:08:26.:08:27.

and bring them into line with other parts of the country.

:08:28.:08:30.

Here's our health correspondent Robert Pigott.

:08:31.:08:34.

At five feet ten inches and weighing a little over 18 stone, Gordon from

:08:35.:08:42.

Worcestershire can no longer expect swift access to the second hip

:08:43.:08:47.

replacement he needs. The pain from his osteoarthritis wakes him up at

:08:48.:08:51.

night and his mobility is badly compromised. But new restrictions on

:08:52.:08:55.

surgery mean he would have to lose 10% of his weight before he could

:08:56.:09:00.

qualify for surgery. It's a very sharp pain, very sharp pain. It's

:09:01.:09:08.

not an ache. It's very, very sharp. Turn over in bed... I haven't really

:09:09.:09:14.

been fully fit in terms of being able to walk properly, or go for a

:09:15.:09:22.

walk, pre-2013. It would dramatically change my life.

:09:23.:09:27.

More than 50 years on since the first operation, this revolutionary

:09:28.:09:35.

procedure is widely rationed. The clinical commissions groups in

:09:36.:09:39.

some areas will exclude from hip and knee replacement patients who rank

:09:40.:09:43.

as more bid le obese or those whose pain is not sufficiently severe to

:09:44.:09:46.

interfere with daily life. The Royal College of Surgeons says the

:09:47.:09:49.

restrictions are not clinically justified and will often be a false

:09:50.:09:55.

economy. The patient continues to be in pain, needs painkillers and

:09:56.:10:03.

physiotherapy, he may be unable to work. By waiting the operation may

:10:04.:10:09.

indeed become more difficult when he eventually gets it. The clinical

:10:10.:10:13.

commissions groups said they were bringing Worcestershire into line

:10:14.:10:17.

with what others do. They said if a patient feels they require this

:10:18.:10:20.

surgery but do not meet the criteria, there is a clear appeal

:10:21.:10:23.

system. Several other commissions groups in

:10:24.:10:28.

England, including in Harrogate, the Vale of York and Kent are imposing

:10:29.:10:32.

similar restrictions on non-emergency surgery. Demand for

:10:33.:10:35.

hip and knee replacements is growing with an ageing population but the

:10:36.:10:38.

money to pay for them is increasingly scarce.

:10:39.:10:42.

:10:43.:10:45.

original trial last year that he was dyslexic and that caused him

problems in running the company. But perhaps one of the most poignant

:14:00.:14:05.

moments was when Shaun Vaughan who you heard speaking in that report,

:14:06.:14:08.

looked him in the eye talking about the death of her husband and said I

:14:09.:14:12.

am dyslexic too but I have never made that an excuse for many of my

:14:13.:14:17.

actions. Matthew Gordon and Peter Wood sentenced here this afternoon.

A former judge and his assistant have been jailed for six years

:14:21.:14:25.

for defrauding their own law firm out of more than ?600,000.

:14:26.:14:28.

The pair syphoned off the money to pay for a lavish lifestyle.

:14:29.:14:31.

Let's speak to our our correspondent Dan Johnson who's

:14:32.:14:33.

Tell us more about the details of what they did. Well, homes, holidays

:14:34.:14:44.

:14:45.:14:50.

the luxuries bought with this money Simon Kenny and Emma Coates took

:14:51.:14:55.

from their own law firm in Sussex. The judge said that they had used

:14:56.:14:59.

the firm as their own personal piggy bank. This began as a way of

:15:00.:15:05.

propping up the firm, of keep solvent, it extended to treating the

:15:06.:15:08.

solicitor and his assistant who he was having an affair with at the

:15:09.:15:13.

time, the judge said that Emma Coates was drawn to excess and

:15:14.:15:16.

extravagance and if there was money there for the taking she took it.

:15:17.:15:21.

The judge said it was difficult to imagine a more spectacular breach of

:15:22.:15:25.

trust. One theft involved ?85,000 being taken from the will of an

:15:26.:15:29.

elderly woman. They told colleagues in the law firm they were moving the

:15:30.:15:33.

money offshore because of the banking crisis, to keep it safe. One

:15:34.:15:38.

particularly sad aspect of this case has been that the company accountant

:15:39.:15:41.

belatedly realised what was going on and he had been duped by the pair,

:15:42.:15:46.

he then took his own life. The judge in sentencing the pair said they

estimates, Booker has a similar share, probably bigger of the

convenience markets and Tesco supplying both will make it a bigger

:19:09.:19:10.

force in convenience retail. That may prompt some concerns including

from the competition authorities who are likely to scrutinise this deal.

engage with the culture of which we are apart, and that has changed

radically. Lesbian and gay members of the church are disappointed,

accusing the bishops to do nothing to acknowledge the sanctity of

lesbian, Gay, bisexual and transgender relationships. No change

tilt in the direction of great inclusion but we are a long way from

that yet. I think that's what most people expected, a classic Anglican

fudge, a sideways step and emerging to a different patch of the long

grass perhaps. Conservative evangelicals have expressed relief

that the bishops of uphold the authority of Scripture against the

impact of cultural change. I want the church to stand with the

teaching of Jesus and my understanding is that Jesus taught

clearly that successful marriage and marriages a man and a woman so I

want the church to continue to teach what Jesus taught on that issue,

There's been a big increase in the number of people

:21:37.:21:38.

The figures for England and Wales show there were more

:21:39.:21:42.

than 90-thousand insolvencies last year, an increase of more than 13

:21:43.:21:44.

Our Personal Finance Correspondent Simon Gompertz is with me.

:21:45.:21:48.

Figures tell us that people are putting more on their credit cards,

:21:49.:22:09.

personal loans, overdrafts, there is a feeling that is fuelling the

:22:10.:22:11.

shopping boom at the moment, perhaps not sustainably. It could be one

:22:12.:22:13.

reason, something that the governor of the Bank of England has warned we

:22:14.:22:16.

be vigilant about, if people get into serious debt and the result is

:22:17.:22:19.

formal insolvency, those are the figures, 91,000 in the last year, a

:22:20.:22:27.

rise of 13%, as he said. And within that this 23% rise in what are

:22:28.:22:29.

called individual voluntary arrangements, which are the most

:22:30.:22:32.

flexible form. So a lot of people are moving into that. On the other

:22:33.:22:35.

hand, though, it went to a low after the recession which followed the

:22:36.:22:37.

financial crisis and we are still about 30% below the numbers of that

:22:38.:22:39.

time. So it's not the worst it's been. Also bankruptcy,

:22:40.:22:54.

debt relief orders and other arrangements, they have all become

:22:55.:22:56.

easier to do and debt advisers have been pushing people in those

:22:57.:22:59.

directions so some of it could be not as much people getting into debt

:23:00.:23:01.

but people doing something about it, which is not necessarily a bad

prefer Dimitrov, but Nadal held his nerve urging a third set tie-break.

everywhere right now. We do have some sunshine but it will be

replaced by thick clouds coming off the ocean over the next few days.

:30:53.:30:56.

That means temperatures will rise and even this evening if you take

the walk the temperatures won't be as low as they have been in the last

day or so. The clouds in the Atlantic are ready and

waiting to come our way and with this also we have much milder

:31:23.:31:25.

conditions, compared to what we have had because it still won't be that

:31:26.:31:27.

desperately warm, at least in the short-term. As far as this afternoon

:31:28.:31:29.

is concerned those temperatures are still single figures, 7 degrees in

:31:30.:31:32.

the South, still nippy in northern and central areas with freezing fog

:31:33.:31:34.

although this evening and overnight that process begins where we

:31:35.:31:36.

introduced that less cold air coming in off the ocean, it is a frost free

:31:37.:31:45.

night across southern areas, in the north just about cold enough with

:31:46.:31:48.

that rain, sleet and snow mixing in but as we head into Saturday morning

:31:49.:31:51.

start to see that Atlantic weather is so we are pushing in that was

Yannick air those temperatures touched that OC Alnwick air. It

:31:57.:32:00.

won't feel anywhere near as dry and better as it has done. This is the

:32:01.:32:10.

scene around midday, eastern areas still cloudy, going through that

:32:11.:32:12.

transition into the milder air, western areas already in the

:32:13.:32:14.

sunshine but also some showers coming in.

:32:15.:32:26.

So not a desperately mild stay on the way tomorrow but better if you

:32:27.:32:30.

don't like the cold. And through Saturday night that process

:32:31.:32:32.

continues, those winds off the Atlantic bringing in milder air with

:32:33.:32:35.

showers. Sadly we must pay for it because we want get the milder air

:32:36.:32:37.

for nothing. It means weather fronts coming in,

:32:38.:32:58.

temperatures are already reaching double figures in some of these

:32:59.:33:01.

southern areas, in the North still frost, still crispy but on balance

:33:02.:33:04.

not that bad. As we go through Monday and into next week it looks

:33:05.:33:07.

as if these weather fronts and this Atlantic air will be winning, it's

:33:08.:33:09.

all about the double figures. Those double figures is what many of us

:33:10.:33:12.

care about because it will feel much less cold.
