Donald Trump has begun his presidency by sticking to his pledge

to repeal Barack Obama's affordable healthcare plan.

Mr Trump signed his first executive order forcing government offices

to minimise the cost of the reforms until they can be overturned.

The White House also signalled his intention to remove

what he called "harmful and unnecessary" climate

And now, the president and First Lady of the United States

Never has a song been more

Donald Trump got here by doing things very differently,

a trait he shows no sign of losing as commander-in-chief.

Should I keep the Twitter going or not?

He beamed as he arrived at galas across Washington,

clasping the hand of his wife and First Lady.

Inaugural balls are part of the choreography

And Mr Trump invited supporters from across the country.

We began this journey, and they said we - we and me -

we didn't have a chance, but we knew we were going to win.

that he had already made his first executive move...

This is an executive order minimising the economic burden of

the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Across the country, gatherings of a more hostile nature

In Washington, over 200 people were arrested

after a handful of small anti-Trump rallies turned violent.

In Chicago, hundreds peacefully voiced their concerns

at Donald Trump's agenda, and in Seattle, they marched

Further demonstrations are planned over the weekend.

But the new president will shrug off this criticism,

Surrounded by family and friends, he is taking a moment to enjoy this

particular piece of pageantry before the real work begins.

Our correspondent Barbara Plett Usher is in Washington for us.

Barbara, what has the president got on his agenda in his first full day

in office? He will probably be watching this, to some degree. We

are expecting tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of people to

march here in Washington and around the country. These other people were

afraid of what a Trump administering might bring. They are demanding that

he protect minorities and women's writes. Mr Trump is getting off to

his first day, attending a national prayer breakfast at the Washington

National Cathedral, the last part of this official transition. He is also

expected to visit the CIA headquarters. You will remember he

was sharply critical of them and other agencies over Russian

interference in the elections. It seems he will mend some fences

there. As we've heard, tens of thousands

are expected to join the rally It'll be one of nearly 700

demonstrations globally organised Women of the world, unite!

Women of the world, unite! In Australia, 3000 people marched

to the US consulate in Sydney. Organisers said they wanted

to present a united voice Our correspondent Sian Grezeszcyk

is in Central London, What is the atmosphere there like?

Well, I have just come from the US embassy over in Grosvenor Square,

which is where London's March got underway within the last half an

hour. A very defiant, calm atmosphere with the marchers who

started... They are heading this way to Trafalgar Square, where a rally

will be held at 2pm. The organisers say that they want the Trump

presidency to hear loud and clear and to ensure that women's rights

are protected. That is why they have joined here in solidarity. Speaking

to many people in the crowd, they say it is not just about sending a

message to the White House. They say it is also about highlighting

women's writes in general as well. They are expected to arrive here

within the next hour or so. Of course, this is one of more than 600

marchers taking place across the world. Thank you very much.

You need to ask them why they didn't go get the

Johanna Konta's Australian Open challenge is gathering serious

momentum after she won her eighth match in a row, to

If she can get through her next match, she would potentially face

Serena Williams in the quarter-finals.

Konta's been in fantastic form this year, winning a title in Sydney

in the build up to the big Grand Slam in Melbourne,

and Wozniacki simply had no answer to Britain's number one.

Wozniacki, seeded 17, only managed to win four

games, as Konta cruised to an eighth straight victory.

She'll now play Ekaterina Makarova in the fourth round.

Things got simplified for me today, and I enjoyed trying to execute the

plan. I really enjoy being out there. It was a really nice

atmosphere on court today. There was a lot of people. A lot of support,

so I enjoyed the whole thing. It's a busy day of football with

seven matches in the Premier League. Spurs and Liverpool can narrow

the gap on leaders Chelsea. Liverpool have had the better

for Premier League survival. There are 14 matches

Lee Wallace with the best Last week, seven sports began

an appeals process against UK Sport's decision not to provide

funding for the Tokyo 2020 Games. Sarah Davies is one of the leading

GB women and knows the effects a funding axe can have,

with her Olympian boyfriend suffering the same fate

after London 2012. Beneath the hair is Sarah Davies, a

weightlifter on the rise in a sport that is under threat. I was in the

gym when I got the phone call from our performance director. I was

struggling through the end of my session and I managed to get an

extra ten repetitions out of what I was doing through upset, anger. It

will have a massive effect. Sarah is one half of Great Britain's power

couple, alongside her partner, Jack Oliver. COMMENTATOR: Jack Oliver,

brilliant stuff there. The men's team lost their funding three years

ago. They are always saying, do you get physio? No. Even though you

might be the best in the country, competing on the world stage, you

don't get a penny. Sarah is now a full-time athlete, but if funding is

cut, that will affect our chances of becoming the first British woman to

win an Olympic weightlifting medal. It will be tricky to see where the

income comes from. I qualified as a PE teacher, but I am not teaching,

because it affects my training. I am a little bit in limbo. Being

unpredictable doesn't faze Sarah. When she is not in the gym, she

competes for a different type of Crown - in beauty pageants. She won

miss Leeds in 2012. I always get, oh, you don't look like a

weightlifter, so it is good to break those stereotypes and get a positive

body image into pageants. They are hoping for a positive result in the

appeal against the cuts for 2020. What they have achieved in the last

few years has been phenomenal. Unfortunately, I'm not holding out

much hope, so it is a case of looking for a job and potentially

going back to working full-time as a teacher again. They have an anxious

wait before UK sport announces its decision next month.

Let me update you on the football. With 40 minutes gone, at Ibrox and

Anfield, it is still goalless. Hello. Temperatures fell as low as

minus eight Celsius last night, and this afternoon, with cloud or

sunshine, most of us are in
