computers, plotting 911- style attacks. Here in Munich, a lot of

President Trump has made a strong defence of his first

:10:55.:10:57.

is sweeping the United States. saying a new spirit of optimism

:10:58.:11:00.

Addressing thousands of supporters in Florida,

:11:01.:11:01.

he repeated pledges to create jobs and improve the nation's security.

:11:02.:11:05.

when none had taken place. to an incident in Sweden

:11:06.:11:13.

The Swedish government has asked for an explanation.

:11:14.:11:15.

This is a US holiday weekend to Laura Bicker reports.

:11:16.:11:26.

This is a US holiday weekend to celebrate past presidents, but in

:11:27.:11:29.

New York and elsewhere, some decided to hold protests about the new one.

:11:30.:11:35.

It has been a tough first month for Donald Trump. He took time to step

:11:36.:11:38.

into the sunshine state and hold a rally with supporters. This is more

:11:39.:11:46.

firm, more familiar ground. The president of the United States... He

:11:47.:11:50.

promised to get more work done, including releasing a new

:11:51.:11:53.

immigration order this week to replace his controversial travel

:11:54.:11:57.

ban, but some of his reasoning caused more controversy. You look at

:11:58.:12:02.

what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe

:12:03.:12:07.

this? Sweden. They took in large numbers, they're having problems

:12:08.:12:10.

like they never thought possible. The Swedish Embassy in the US asked

:12:11.:12:16.

for an explanation. There have been no terror attacks there this week.

:12:17.:12:18.

The White House said he was referring to reports of rising

:12:19.:12:24.

crime, which he may have seen on Fox News. It is the kind of distraction

:12:25.:12:27.

from his message that Mr Trump blames on the media. I also want to

:12:28.:12:33.

speak to you without the filter of the fake news.

:12:34.:12:38.

CHEERING They have become a big part of the

:12:39.:12:42.

problem. They are part of the corrupt system. President Trump

:12:43.:12:47.

accused major US networks of being an enemy of the people. One senior

:12:48.:12:53.

Republican says that lessons need to be learned from history. If you want

:12:54.:12:57.

to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many

:12:58.:13:02.

times adversarial press and without it, I'm afraid that we would lose so

:13:03.:13:08.

much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get

:13:09.:13:13.

started. But the President's chief of staff says the media is

:13:14.:13:18.

constantly making up news. Talking about Russian spies, about the

:13:19.:13:21.

intelligence community, about how me and Steve Bannon don't like each

:13:22.:13:26.

other and what is Kelly and doingall of this total garbage, unsourced

:13:27.:13:31.

stuff. Donald Trump help this rally to revive his message, but it's also

:13:32.:13:36.

a reminder - there is work to do. President Trump seems far more

:13:37.:13:39.

comfortable at the campaign podium than he does in the Oval Office

:13:40.:13:43.

right now. He seems to feed from the energy of this crowd, but he doesn't

:13:44.:13:47.

need to win friends here in Florida, he needs them in Capitol Hill. If he

:13:48.:13:51.

is to get his agenda through Congress. He also needs to find a

:13:52.:13:56.

new national security adviser after his first choice resigned and the

:13:57.:14:02.

second turns down the job. He's holding interviews today. The rally

:14:03.:14:06.

will have helped Donald Trump reconnect with his voting base, but

:14:07.:14:10.

now it's time to get on with governing. Laura Becker, BBC News,

:14:11.:14:11.

Florida. The American-owned food

:14:12.:14:13.

and beverage firm, Kraft Heinz, has "amicably agreed"

:14:14.:14:15.

to withdraw its proposal Unilever.

:14:16.:14:17.

third largest company, Unilever had turned down

:14:18.:14:20.

its approach, describing it as having "no merit,

:14:21.:14:22.

strategic or financial," As

:14:23.:14:25.

would return with a higher offer. Our business correspondent,

:14:26.:14:33.

Joe Lynam, is here. this is an extraordinary U-turn.

:14:34.:14:34.

to stop this takeover? this is an extraordinary U-turn.

:14:35.:14:42.

Within hours of this bid being submitted, they are walking away. It

:14:43.:14:46.

would have been one of the biggest corporate takeovers, bringing

:14:47.:14:55.

together global brands. But it is not to be. I understand the two

:14:56.:14:58.

bosses spoke over the weekend and became patently clear that Kraft

:14:59.:15:03.

Heinz would have to launch a hostile takeover, which would have been very

:15:04.:15:07.

expensive. I think the seven and a half thousand Unilever staff will be

:15:08.:15:14.

glad tonight. There were fears over cutting costs and jobs. Thank you.

:15:15.:15:22.

Over the last two weeks we've been reporting in our Health Check

:15:23.:15:25.

series on the growing pressures on hospitals.

:15:26.:15:26.

Those pressures are also intensifying in general practice,

:15:27.:15:28.

with the latest figures showing a slight fall over 12

:15:29.:15:31.

months in the number of GP posts in England.

:15:32.:15:33.

It's getting harder to fill GP vacancies, and doctors

:15:34.:15:35.

are seeing a growing caseload of more complex conditions.

:15:36.:15:37.

Our health editor, Hugh Pym, explains.

:15:38.:15:39.

Three doctors and three stories illustrating the pressures on GPs.

I've ever had to make. the hardest decisions

:16:09.:16:13.

I went into medicine to look after people and

that job, it's not something I ever wanted to do.

GPs accept they are relatively well-paid, but some now

:16:34.:16:35.

feel it's no longer worth running a practice.

:16:36.:16:39.

We hope that in due course we'll be able to accommodate trainees...

It's hardly traditional for a medical job advert, but this doctor

People can't get the appointments that they

I'm just wondering if I'd be able to discuss...

The problem that happens when we're working at

I need to read through the note, read through the

Some might say you're a highly paid professional,

that there are others who work very hard in the public sector,

:18:02.:18:04.

that you just have to get on with it.

:18:05.:18:06.

If this was an easy job that was so highly paid that

:18:07.:18:09.

anyone wanted to do it, then why do a third of GP

:18:10.:18:12.

surgeries currently have unfilled vacancies?

:18:13.:18:13.

NHS England says more of the budget is being shifted to GP care.
