0:00:07 > 0:00:09President Trump sparks outrage after allegedly making racist

0:00:09 > 0:00:13comments about African countries.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Mr President, are you a racist?

0:00:15 > 0:00:18As he comes under fire from the press, his alleged remarks

0:00:18 > 0:00:26are criticised by the United Nations as racism.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31It all stems from a meeting in the Whitehouse about immigration.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32The President denies the remarks.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35The man who sat next to him says they're true.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37That's what he used, those vile and vulgar comments -

0:00:37 > 0:00:39calling the nations they come from, "shitholes".

0:00:39 > 0:00:41The exact words used by the President, not just

0:00:41 > 0:00:45once but repeatedly.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Is what's become an international row going to cause serious

0:00:47 > 0:00:50problems for the president - or will it just add to his appeal

0:00:50 > 0:00:51among his core support?

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Also tonight:

0:00:55 > 0:00:57The Government is urged to bring construction giant Carillion

0:00:57 > 0:00:59into public control amid fears it could collapse.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02A fine of £10,000 for the surgeon who branded his initials

0:01:02 > 0:01:03onto his patients' livers.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Facebook gets a status update - it says it will prioritise your

0:01:06 > 0:01:12family and friends over advertisers and news.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And weighty reflections on the crown - the Queen as you've never seen

0:01:15 > 0:01:23or heard her before.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29Speech up, because if you did, your neck would break! Later in the hour,

0:01:29 > 0:01:34we have Sportsday on the BBC News Channel with all the latest reports,

0:01:34 > 0:01:40interviews and features from the BBC Sports Centre.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Good evening.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57President Trump is embroiled in a row about whether he's a racist

0:01:57 > 0:01:59after being forced to deny making derogatory remarks, including

0:01:59 > 0:02:01the use of an expletive, about African countries.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06He's been accused of making the comments in the White House,

0:02:06 > 0:02:08during a meeting about his plans to overhaul the immigration system.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10A Democratic Senator, who sat next to Mr Trump insists

0:02:10 > 0:02:14the president did use the phrase, repeatedly, and a United Nations

0:02:14 > 0:02:25the President did use the phrase, repeatedly, and a United Nations

0:02:25 > 0:02:27spokesman has accused the President of making racist comments.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28A number

0:02:28 > 0:02:30of African countries have reacted with outrage.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32From Washington, Nick Bryant reports.

0:02:32 > 0:02:38This is a great and important day... The forces of American history seem

0:02:38 > 0:02:42to collide at the White House today. Donald Trump signing a proclamation

0:02:42 > 0:02:47in honour of the civil rights leader, Martin Luther King at the

0:02:47 > 0:02:52moment he stands accused of using a slur directed at African nations.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58Here he stuck to the script. Today we celebrate Dr King for

0:02:58 > 0:03:03standing up for the self-evident truth that Americans hold dear, that

0:03:03 > 0:03:08no matter the colour of our skin or the place of our birth we are all

0:03:08 > 0:03:13created equal by God.Mr President will you give an apology for the

0:03:13 > 0:03:18statement yesterday?After the ceremony, an unserve mownous

0:03:18 > 0:03:25commotion. Mr President are you a racist? Can

0:03:25 > 0:03:31you answer these serious questions about your statement, Sir?No!Mr

0:03:31 > 0:03:38President are you a racist?It was behind closed doors that Donald

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Trump allegedly claimed that immigrants came from shithole

0:03:42 > 0:03:46countries, Donald Trump said he used strong language with the Senators,

0:03:46 > 0:03:51though not that word but has been contradicted by a senior Democrat

0:03:51 > 0:03:55present. I cannot believe in the history of

0:03:55 > 0:04:00the White House, and the Oval Office any President has spoken the words I

0:04:00 > 0:04:06heard our President speak yesterday. To no surprise, the president

0:04:06 > 0:04:14started tweeting denying he used those words. It is not true. He said

0:04:14 > 0:04:18the hate-filled thinged and said them repeatedly.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22From the United Nations, the stiffest of rebukes.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25These are shocking and hateful comments from the President of the

0:04:25 > 0:04:33United States. There is no other word that we can use but racist, you

0:04:33 > 0:04:39cannot dismiss entire countries as shitholes.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43The comments were called reprehencible and racist.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Maybe just once maybe in another part of the world but on this part

0:04:48 > 0:04:51of the continent that word is an insult.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56Build a wall was the cry of voters who loved the Donald Trump hard line

0:04:56 > 0:05:00stance during the election. We're going to build a wall, folks.

0:05:00 > 0:05:06Don't worry. And said to be doing a victory lap,

0:05:06 > 0:05:12belief eking that row will re-up his votes. Donald Trump launched the

0:05:12 > 0:05:15campaign for the White House with an attack on Mexican immigrants and

0:05:15 > 0:05:21claimed falsely that Barack Obama was not an American. His latest

0:05:21 > 0:05:26racial controversy will please at least some of the supporters at home

0:05:26 > 0:05:30but undercuts US leadership abroad and shows again how America first

0:05:30 > 0:05:34can mean America alone. Nick Bryant, BBC News, Washington.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Nick Bryant, BBC News, Washington.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37President Trump's visit to Britain next month is off.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41He HAD been due to attend the official opening of the new US

0:05:41 > 0:05:42embassy in South London.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45But he tweeted he was not a "big fan" of the new building and blamed

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Barack Obama's administration for a "bad deal".

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Downing Street says an invitation for a state visit will still take

0:05:50 > 0:05:51place, although no date has been set.

0:05:51 > 0:05:59Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.

0:06:00 > 0:06:06The new us embassy, more than $1 billion of prime American real

0:06:06 > 0:06:10estate in South London, with its own moat. A machinement, we are told, to

0:06:10 > 0:06:14America's commitment to Britain, that the US ambassador had hoped

0:06:14 > 0:06:18would be formerly opened by Donald Trump next month.

0:06:18 > 0:06:25Yes, I do hope. We will welcome him when he comes.But he is not coming.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Donald Trump said he cancelled the trip as he owe postsed the sale by

0:06:30 > 0:06:37Barack Obama of what he killed: Only to build a new one in an off

0:06:37 > 0:06:43location for $1.2 dollars. A bad deal. Wanted him to cut the ribbon,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46no! A decision welcomed by his critics.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51Here is a Head of State of another country, not only promoting hatred

0:06:51 > 0:06:56and division in his country but is surely giving his online activity

0:06:56 > 0:06:59guilty of doing the same in our country.

0:06:59 > 0:07:06The decision to sell the old embassy was taken by President Bush, to find

0:07:06 > 0:07:11a more secure location in a time of terror. The old embassy had been the

0:07:11 > 0:07:16scene of demonstrations. And diplomats said it was the threat of

0:07:16 > 0:07:20similar protests that had spooked Mr Trump.

0:07:20 > 0:07:26The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said there would be mass protests

0:07:26 > 0:07:35like these but peaceful ones. Boris Johnson accused Mr Khan of putting

0:07:35 > 0:07:37US Lincolnshire UK relations at risk.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Here we have many others encouraging large scale street protests against

0:07:41 > 0:07:45him. I think it must be part of his calculation.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50That is the point, in his first year of office, Donald Trump has visited

0:07:50 > 0:07:57the world. Visiting most other G7 countries and other European

0:07:57 > 0:08:01nations, including France, Germany and Belgium, the UK is notable for

0:08:01 > 0:08:08its absence. The US ambassador says that the fortress of glass

0:08:08 > 0:08:12represents a new era between the US and the UK, a strengthening of the

0:08:12 > 0:08:15relationship. The fear of the diplomats is that the President's

0:08:15 > 0:08:19decision not to open the building signals for him, at least, that

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Britain is not a priority. Ministers hope it will change when he comes,

0:08:23 > 0:08:27if he comes. It's an important diplomatic partner

0:08:27 > 0:08:32for the UK. We want the close eest possible relationship with the US

0:08:32 > 0:08:36and look forward to a visit at some point in the future.

0:08:36 > 0:08:42For now, the closest we will get to seeing Donald Trump is this wax

0:08:42 > 0:08:47work, part of a PR stunt, life like in every respect but he does not

0:08:47 > 0:08:48speak or tweet.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50but he does not speak or tweet.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Our North America Editor Jon Sopel joins me now.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54The real President Trump tweets and makes comments

0:08:54 > 0:08:57and causes some real offence.

0:08:57 > 0:09:03Yes it is hard to overstate in America ares how puritan call public

0:09:03 > 0:09:07discourse is. The networks, the newspapers are agonising weather to

0:09:07 > 0:09:12use the word that the President did. So shocking. But if a pollster were

0:09:12 > 0:09:19to speak to Trump supporters and ask if was presidential, they would say

0:09:19 > 0:09:23no, and were they surprised? They would say also, no, and does it

0:09:23 > 0:09:27change your view of the President? Also, no. What makes Donald Trump

0:09:27 > 0:09:32popular is that he says the unsayable, could say what others are

0:09:32 > 0:09:36thinking and would get in trouble if they did.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's as though given the account of the meeting that Donald Trump

0:09:39 > 0:09:45believes that there are the countries, the Nato countries and

0:09:45 > 0:09:49the shithole countries. And the President has been talking

0:09:49 > 0:09:51about another controversial issue today?He has been talking about

0:09:51 > 0:09:57Iran. The Iran nuclear deal done in Barack Obama's time so, that if Iran

0:09:57 > 0:10:00stopped the nuclear programme, sanctions would be lifted. Donald

0:10:00 > 0:10:05Trump was desperate to reimpose sanctions as he believe it is is a

0:10:05 > 0:10:10lousy deal. The European nations have managed to persuade him to row

0:10:10 > 0:10:15back. So for another 120 days the Iran nuclear deal is intact without

0:10:15 > 0:10:21change. I suggested to a diplomat, is it a

0:10:21 > 0:10:25victory but he said not so much a victory, as a stay of execution.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Thank you.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29The Government is being urged to bring contracts

0:10:29 > 0:10:31from the construction giant Carillion into public control

0:10:31 > 0:10:32amid fears it could collapse.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's a major supplier to the Government and has contracts

0:10:35 > 0:10:37in the rail industry - including building HS2 -

0:10:37 > 0:10:39in education and in the NHS.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's struggled since reporting half-year losses of over a billion

0:10:41 > 0:10:45pounds and a significant pension deficit.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Our business editor Simon Jack is here.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51The BBC has learned tonight that ministers are drawing

0:10:51 > 0:10:55up plans to take over Carillion prison contracts.

0:10:55 > 0:11:01That's right. What we learned this afternoon is a £200 million contract

0:11:01 > 0:11:06to run 50 prince. The Ministry of Justice is drawing up plans to bring

0:11:06 > 0:11:11it back under public control. This is a company in big trouble. It owns

0:11:11 > 0:11:16the banks £900 million. It owns the pension scheme, £600 million. It is

0:11:16 > 0:11:21haemorrhaging money. It needs new funds, the lenders don't want to

0:11:21 > 0:11:29give them to them. It has had crisis talks with banks, on Thursday a

0:11:29 > 0:11:33huddle with a huddle of ministers and today in talks with the pension

0:11:33 > 0:11:37fund to find out what happens to 28,000 members' of that pension

0:11:37 > 0:11:43scheme. The damage to the company is severe. Losing 93% of its value

0:11:43 > 0:11:48since this time last year. An army of sub-contractors worried about

0:11:48 > 0:11:52what happens and the model of outsourcing some of the critical

0:11:52 > 0:11:55public services to the public sector is under attack. You said that the

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Labour Party, the unions are saying that they should be brought back to

0:11:59 > 0:12:05the public control. Is Carillion too big, to sensitive to fail? No, it is

0:12:05 > 0:12:10not. Will the Government bend over backwards to save the company? Yes,

0:12:10 > 0:12:16it will. But only bending so far. So a very anxious weekend for the

0:12:16 > 0:12:18company in prospect. Thank you.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Thank you.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22A surgeon who branded his initials onto the livers of two transplant

0:12:22 > 0:12:25patients has been fined £10,000 and given a community service order.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Simon Bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault in December.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30His crimes - carried out at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham -

0:12:30 > 0:12:33were discovered when the patients returned to hospital for further

0:12:33 > 0:12:36surgery as Sima Kotecha reports.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37REPORTER:Mr Bramhall, what's your reaction?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Simon Bramhall, once a respected surgeon,

0:12:40 > 0:12:43now a convicted criminal.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46What would you like to say to the patients, Mr Bramhall?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Today, he was fined £10,000 after pleading guilty to assaulting

0:12:48 > 0:12:50two patients by marking his initials on their livers.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52His victims were undergoing liver transplants at the time.

0:12:52 > 0:13:00In court, Judge Paul Farrer QC told him:

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, it was here at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

0:13:16 > 0:13:18in Birmingham where Bramhall committed his offences.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21He marked the livers in 2013 and it was a year later,

0:13:21 > 0:13:26after a disciplinary hearing, that he resigned from his post.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Another of his patients, who also underwent a liver transplant by him,

0:13:30 > 0:13:32says he shouldn't be punished.

0:13:32 > 0:13:37Signing his work is just his way of showing the artwork he's done.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41The fact that he's saved so many lives through all the operations

0:13:41 > 0:13:45he's carried out, mine included, because without him I wouldn't be

0:13:45 > 0:13:51here, just makes me think he needs to carry on doing what he's good at.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Bramhall branded 'SB' on the organs with an argon beam machine,

0:13:55 > 0:13:59a heat-projecting device usually used to stop any bleeding.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02The Crown Prosecution Service compared its imprint

0:14:02 > 0:14:04to a minor burn.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06What happened was a crime.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09The rule of law applies equally to everybody, including doctors,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12so it's important to hold people to account when they commit a crime

0:14:12 > 0:14:15of assault, and that's what's happened here.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17The markings were discovered after other surgeons noticed

0:14:17 > 0:14:21them during operations.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Bramhall betrayed the trust of his patients and took advantage

0:14:23 > 0:14:26of them when they were at their most vulnerable.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28The General Medical Council, which has already issued him

0:14:28 > 0:14:31with a formal warning, will now decide whether to take any

0:14:31 > 0:14:35further action against the surgeon.

0:14:35 > 0:14:42Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Birmingham.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Families searching for missing relatives after the Manchester Arena

0:14:44 > 0:14:46bombing were subjected to intrusive media attention, according

0:14:46 > 0:14:47to a progress report.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's part of a review by Lord Kerslake into the response

0:14:50 > 0:14:53to the bombing in May last year in which 22 people were killed.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Our North of England correspondent Judith Moritz has been speaking

0:14:56 > 0:15:00to one of the families affected.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Within moments of the Manchester Arena explosion,

0:15:02 > 0:15:06the attack was worldwide news.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Phone footage was shared immediately.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Camera crews and journalists provided round-the-clock coverage

0:15:13 > 0:15:15for days afterwards.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20And there were countless posts on social media, as well.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23There was huge interest in the stories of those

0:15:23 > 0:15:26most closely affected.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27They included the family of Martyn Hett, one of those

0:15:27 > 0:15:31killed in the blast.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Martyn had a large online following and had previously been on TV.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38His relatives quickly found themselves in the spotlight.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Press reporters arrived at their house, before the family

0:15:41 > 0:15:44knew that Martyn had died.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46We had people coming round, knocking on the door,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49ringing the bell, basically saying, "Sorry for your loss,

0:15:49 > 0:15:54but would you like to comment?"

0:15:54 > 0:15:56He wasn't even officially dead yet.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00How can anybody be so cruel and say, "sorry for your loss"?

0:16:00 > 0:16:07We didn't find out officially until that evening that he was dead.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10The way the emergency services responded to the Arena attack

0:16:10 > 0:16:14is already being reviewed by an independent panel.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Now, it will also examine the role which the media played

0:16:17 > 0:16:20during the aftermath.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Much of the media handled families in a very respectful way.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26But we've heard examples where that wasn't the case and we think that

0:16:26 > 0:16:29needs to be explored and understood.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31# Walk on #.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34The long struggle of those whose loved ones died at Hillsborough has

0:16:34 > 0:16:37recently inspired a charter for families bereaved

0:16:37 > 0:16:41through public tragedy.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44There are elements of the response that could have been better.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47The Arena review asks organisations to sign up to it and put

0:16:47 > 0:16:51the needs of such families before their own reputations.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54I want anybody who works in our emergency services to know

0:16:54 > 0:16:57that they will be supported in coming forward to tell

0:16:57 > 0:17:00it exactly as it was.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Because that is what we need.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04We need the families to have the truth as quickly as possible.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07In March, the full review into the attack will be published.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Eight months after these 22 people died, their families' lives

0:17:11 > 0:17:14are still dominated by the tragedy.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19Judith Moritz, BBC News, Manchester.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Facebook has announced what it says is a major change to its news feed -

0:17:22 > 0:17:25prioritising posts from family and friends over those from

0:17:25 > 0:17:27advertisers and media organisations.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29The change follows criticism that too much fake news

0:17:29 > 0:17:32and misinformation has been ending up on the social network.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, admits it could could mean people

0:17:35 > 0:17:38spending less time on it, which has hit the

0:17:38 > 0:17:39company's share price.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Our media editor Amol Rajan reports.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Mark Zuckerberg's social network has become of the biggest

0:17:45 > 0:17:48distributors of news in history.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Today, the company went back to its social roots.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54He said, one of our big focus areas for 2018 is making sure the time

0:17:54 > 0:18:02we all spend on Facebook is time well spent.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Facebook's founder admits users are being fed a heavy diet

0:18:06 > 0:18:09of news and adverts, together with the more personal

0:18:09 > 0:18:13posts from friends and family.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17In Bristol today, many young Facebook users agreed.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's quite clogged up with adverts for shopping and baby

0:18:19 > 0:18:24things at the moment, stuff I search on Google.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27So I think it would be a lot better if it was just based

0:18:27 > 0:18:29around friends and family, without any adverts.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32I just feel like I'm being sold to the whole time.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35People are making assumptions about my opinions, my tastes,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38the things I'm interested in.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Zuckerberg says, I'm changing the goal I give our product teams

0:18:40 > 0:18:43from focusing on helping you find relevant content, to helping

0:18:43 > 0:18:50you have more meaningful social interactions.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52This is the biggest change to Facebook for many years.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55It follows controversy over the promotion of fake news,

0:18:55 > 0:18:57with fears the platform has been used by foreign powers

0:18:57 > 0:19:00to subvert democracy.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Today's changes aren't driven by those concerns

0:19:02 > 0:19:05over disinformation, but they're clearly an attempt

0:19:05 > 0:19:08to restore trust in a global brand and the impact on our news ecosystem

0:19:08 > 0:19:11could be huge.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Mark Zuckerberg clearly accepts that not all news is of equal value,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18but his changes could seriously damage some reputable news providers

0:19:18 > 0:19:20that have come to rely on his platform for both

0:19:20 > 0:19:25eyeballs and income.

0:19:25 > 0:19:30Brands like HuffPost need the ad revenue Facebook can drive.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33The elephant in the room is fake news and how they're trying

0:19:33 > 0:19:36to clean up the timelines.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39The fear for publishers like us is that the baby gets thrown out

0:19:39 > 0:19:42with the bath water and we lose the really important real

0:19:42 > 0:19:46journalism, along with the fake news that they're trying to get rid of.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Google is often described as part of a duopoly that is swallowing

0:19:50 > 0:19:56the advertising and news industries, together with Facebook.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Today, in a rare interview, Google's most senior British

0:19:59 > 0:20:02executive seemed to see this as an opportunity.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06There's an upside to traditional media moving to the digital world.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09You can reach 5 billion people on any device,

0:20:09 > 0:20:11you can use video if you come from the print industry

0:20:11 > 0:20:13and vice versa.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16You know yourself as a journalist, there's a huge ability to tell

0:20:16 > 0:20:19the important stories in new ways, and people are turning

0:20:19 > 0:20:22to the digital world more than ever before to understand the news.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25For Facebook's young missionary founder, a short-term hit

0:20:25 > 0:20:29in revenues is worth it to allay accusations that it's becoming

0:20:29 > 0:20:31the anti-social network.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Amol Rajan, BBC News.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42There's been a breakthrough in the talks aimed at forming

0:20:42 > 0:20:44a new coalition government in Germany between the Chancellor,

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats and their rivals, the Social

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Democrats.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50They're now expected to discuss a detailed programme for government,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53including a pledge to work closely with France to strengthen

0:20:53 > 0:20:55the Eurozone.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57A huge fire that closed Nottingham railway station

0:20:57 > 0:20:59is being treated as arson.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Over 60 firefighters took several hours to bring

0:21:01 > 0:21:03the blaze under control.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06It is believed the fire, in the recently renovated station,

0:21:06 > 0:21:07started in a toilet block.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Fortunately no-one was injured.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Women in Saudi Arabia have joined spectators at a professional

0:21:13 > 0:21:17football match for the first time in their country's history.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20The move is being seen as the latest step in the gradual easing

0:21:20 > 0:21:24of restrictions on women in the deeply conservative

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Muslim kingdom.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Young women with the faulty BRCA genes who have gone on to develop

0:21:31 > 0:21:33breast cancer have the same survival chances as those

0:21:33 > 0:21:34who don't have them.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38A study of almost 3000 women also found outcomes were the same

0:21:38 > 0:21:43whatever kind of treatment the young women had - including mastectomies.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Mutations in the BRCA genes can significantly increase a woman's

0:21:45 > 0:21:47chance of developing breast cancer.

0:21:47 > 0:21:52Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh has more.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 35 years

0:21:55 > 0:21:59old and five months pregnant, Laura faced childbirth

0:21:59 > 0:22:03and then cancer treatment.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06She carries a BRCA gene mutation and so, like many

0:22:06 > 0:22:08women in her position, she opted to have

0:22:08 > 0:22:11both breasts removed.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I decided to have a double mastectomy.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19My oncologist was keen for me to have it and I was, as well,

0:22:19 > 0:22:21because I was told that the risk of me getting cancer again

0:22:21 > 0:22:27was 50%, so it didn't seem worth the risk, really.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31A new study followed nearly 3,000 women aged 40 or younger diagnosed

0:22:31 > 0:22:33with breast cancer in Britain.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36It found no difference in survival between those who carried

0:22:36 > 0:22:41BRCA breast cancer genes and those who didn't.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45And it found no survival benefit from a double mastectomy.

0:22:45 > 0:22:51After ten years, around seven in ten women survived in all groups.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55So what does this mean for women carrying a BRCA gene?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58I think the key message is that it allows them time to consider

0:22:58 > 0:22:59all of their options.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03So they may still need to go ahead and have a double mastectomy

0:23:03 > 0:23:05because of their risk and for long-term survival.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09But I think it encourages us to think that they can

0:23:09 > 0:23:12take their time and discuss and consider all of

0:23:12 > 0:23:16their options and make the right decision for them.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17This study didn't look at prevention.

0:23:17 > 0:23:22One in 450 women carry faulty BRCA genes.

0:23:22 > 0:23:29It means they have a 45-90% chance of getting breast cancer,

0:23:29 > 0:23:31and many women with a strong family history of breast cancer

0:23:31 > 0:23:35opt for preventative double mastectomies,

0:23:35 > 0:23:39which almost eliminates the risk.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Like Angelina Jolie, the actress and campaigner

0:23:42 > 0:23:45who revealed she had preventative surgery,

0:23:45 > 0:23:51it led to greatly-raised awareness of BRCA gene mutations.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55This study looked only at young women, like Laura.

0:23:55 > 0:23:5995% of breast cancers are in the over-40s.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Laura says if she had her time again, she might have delayed having

0:24:02 > 0:24:05a double mastectomy, but she has no regrets.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10Fergus Walsh, BBC News.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13It's the Queen as you've never seen or heard her before.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15To mark the 65th anniversary of her Coronation in 1953,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Her Majesty has been giving a unique insight into the day

0:24:18 > 0:24:20and what it meant to her.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22She's been speaking to the royal commentator Alastair Bruce

0:24:22 > 0:24:23for a BBC programme.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27A key piece of advice for any would-be monarch - don't look down -

0:24:27 > 0:24:30as our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32She famously doesn't do interviews.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35This is probably as close as she'll get.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38A conversation with questions about the Coronation, the Crown Jewels,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and the Imperial State Crown worn by her and her father,

0:24:41 > 0:24:44King George VI.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Fortunately, my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Once you put it on, it stays.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53It just remains itself.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54You have to keep your head very still?

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Yes.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57It was huge then.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Yes.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Very unwieldy.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03You can't look down to read a speech, you have take the speech

0:25:03 > 0:25:06up, because if you did, your neck would break,

0:25:06 > 0:25:09it would fall off.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10It's difficult to always remember that diamonds

0:25:10 > 0:25:15are stones, so very heavy.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Yes.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18So there are some disadvantages to crowns.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22But otherwise, they're quite important things.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26She rode to her coronation in the gold State Coach.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27It weighs four tons.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30It's not built for comfort.

0:25:30 > 0:25:31Horrible.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34It's not meant for travelling in at all.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39It's only sprung on leather.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40So it rocks around a lot.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41It's not very comfortable.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Were you in it for a long time?

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Halfway round London.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Really?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49We must have gone about four or five miles -

0:25:49 > 0:25:51we could only go at a walking pace.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54The horses couldn't possibly go any faster.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56It's so heavy.

0:25:56 > 0:25:5965 years after the event, a monarch talking

0:25:59 > 0:26:03about her coronation - the crown - the real one.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12And you can see 'The Coronation' on Sunday evening, at 8pm on BBC One.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13That's it.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
