:00:14. > :00:21.Hello, there's only one place to begin this half-hour, Washington,
:00:22. > :00:25.DC. A concert is underway, as you can see. These are live pictures
:00:26. > :00:28.from the Lincoln Memorial. This is the Make America Great Again concert
:00:29. > :00:33.on the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration. This time tomorrow, he
:00:34. > :00:38.will be president. Senegalese troops have entered the
:00:39. > :00:43.Gambia after the new president was sworn in in a ceremony in Senegal.
:00:44. > :00:51.The man who lost the election, the current president, is refusing to
:00:52. > :00:55.stand down. The vendee Globe has finished after
:00:56. > :00:59.a thrilling race. We will have a full report from the coast of
:01:00. > :01:03.France. And as you are watching, if you have
:01:04. > :01:05.questions, some of you have been getting in touch. I will do my best
:01:06. > :01:28.to answer you as we go along. I think the actor Jon Voight is
:01:29. > :01:31.currently on stage during the Make America Great Again concert in
:01:32. > :01:37.Washington. 'S have a look at the pictures and see what's happening.
:01:38. > :01:42.To a barrage of propaganda that left us all breathless with anticipation,
:01:43. > :01:47.not knowing if God could reverse all the negative lies against Mr Trump,
:01:48. > :01:54.whose only desire... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:01:55. > :02:04.Whose only desire was to make America great again.
:02:05. > :02:11.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE He certainly didn't need this job.
:02:12. > :02:25.And, yes, yes, God answered all our prayers. Because here it is. We will
:02:26. > :02:30.be part of history. All of us. And President Lincoln, who sits here
:02:31. > :02:34.with us, I'm sure is smiling, knowing America will be saved by an
:02:35. > :02:39.honest and good man who will work for all the people, no matter their
:02:40. > :02:50.creed or colour. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:02:51. > :02:56.So, my friends, let us rejoice in knowing that from this time on, we
:02:57. > :03:03.will see a renewed America. The spirit of America is perhaps best
:03:04. > :03:11.captured by one of our country's most beloved patriotic songs,
:03:12. > :03:16.written over a century ago. America The Beautiful. And here to perform
:03:17. > :03:24.his own version of this truly American classic is a Grammy
:03:25. > :03:31.award-winning rock and roll hall of fame member and a soul music legend,
:03:32. > :03:42.and it gives me great honour to introduce the legendary Sam Moore.
:03:43. > :03:46.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's Jon Voight, the actor, who
:03:47. > :03:51.said Donald Trump is an honest man and didn't need the job of president
:03:52. > :03:54.and only sort it for one reason, not for himself, but to make America
:03:55. > :03:59.great again. We will come away from those pictures just for a moment. We
:04:00. > :04:05.might go back again before the end of the programme. And it is
:04:06. > :04:09.striking, isn't it? The formalities before the inauguration begins. Many
:04:10. > :04:13.separate events happen on the day is self building up to the oath of
:04:14. > :04:18.office. You can't help but, once again, reflect on the enormity and
:04:19. > :04:22.improbability of what Donald Trump has achieved. We've been speaking
:04:23. > :04:28.about this with the BBC North America editor, John Sobel. If we
:04:29. > :04:34.had been talking a year ago, two years ago, we would have said, you
:04:35. > :04:41.know what? On January 20, 2017, we would be witnessing the election of
:04:42. > :04:45.President-elect Trump, our viewers would have thought we had taken
:04:46. > :04:50.leave of all of our senses. It is an extraordinary moment, and if you
:04:51. > :04:54.look back at the process, from George Washington onwards, there's
:04:55. > :05:00.been a sense of continuity, Democrat to do much -- Democrat Republican,
:05:01. > :05:03.Republican and Democrat, I think the 45th president of the United States
:05:04. > :05:08.represents a break from some of that, because what he has done, he
:05:09. > :05:15.has upended political normality in the way he has campaigned and in the
:05:16. > :05:18.way he has been since he won that election last November, and I think
:05:19. > :05:23.we are in for a very unpredictable time. He talks about draining the
:05:24. > :05:25.swamp of Washington, changing the way everything works, and it's like
:05:26. > :05:31.a disruptor is going to take over the keys of the White House and no
:05:32. > :05:35.one is quite sure what that means in terms of policy, whether
:05:36. > :05:39.domestically or internationally. And I guess all incoming presidents have
:05:40. > :05:43.to go from talking the talk to walking the walk, and listening to
:05:44. > :05:47.Mike Pence this afternoon, he was emphasising how much they want to
:05:48. > :05:53.get done quickly. Do you think the transition team is in good nick to
:05:54. > :05:57.do that? Well, I mean, if you listen to Mike Pence, an awful lot of
:05:58. > :06:01.people have taken up key positions and they say the transition is on
:06:02. > :06:05.schedule and under budget, and they were obviously making the rhetorical
:06:06. > :06:08.point, as you would expect, that's what we're going to do for the
:06:09. > :06:12.country. Deliver things on time that we promised that might be costing an
:06:13. > :06:17.awful lot less than had been the case before that. And also questions
:06:18. > :06:22.about what the tone will be of the inaugural address. We are being
:06:23. > :06:25.expected not to expect a big policy document but much more of a
:06:26. > :06:29.philosophical argument from Donald Trump about what it means to be an
:06:30. > :06:33.American, the role of citizen, the role of the state, we're told it
:06:34. > :06:37.will be personal, we are told it will be sincere, and that I think
:06:38. > :06:41.will be the tone he tries to set. He needs to unify America after what
:06:42. > :06:50.was the most fractious and bitter election campaign and he's going to
:06:51. > :06:54.have his work cut to do that. And we will have extensive coverage of the
:06:55. > :06:58.Inauguration Day on the BBC News Channel or elsewhere on BBC world
:06:59. > :07:01.News. Time for some sport, and let's go
:07:02. > :07:07.back to a story we've been covering all week. A Frenchman has won this
:07:08. > :07:24.year's vendee Globe yacht race, around the world, and it took him 74
:07:25. > :07:31.days. He was run in very close. After ten unpredictable weeks in the
:07:32. > :07:35.world's most inhospitable seas, a Frenchman celebrating victory was a
:07:36. > :07:39.well told story. What wasn't was the plucky yachtsmen who gave him a run
:07:40. > :07:44.for his money. The three-month Alex Thompson has battled everything the
:07:45. > :07:48.ocean has thrown at him, eaten only freeze dried noodles and jelly and
:07:49. > :07:54.survived on as little as 20 minutes sleep every few hours. At stake, his
:07:55. > :08:00.life's obsession. To win the around the world race. He set off from here
:08:01. > :08:05.on the 6th of November, heading out of the Bay of Biscay and into the
:08:06. > :08:09.south Atlantic. He headed around Antarctica under the Cape of good
:08:10. > :08:14.hope and passed around Australasia, across the South Pacific, where he
:08:15. > :08:17.passed point Nemo, the furthest point from civilisation on Earth,
:08:18. > :08:25.and then back up the Atlantic around Cape Horn, and when he arrives back
:08:26. > :08:30.home, you will have notched up something between 20000 and 30,000
:08:31. > :08:38.nautical miles. For Alex, there have been good moments... Bad moments...
:08:39. > :08:42.I do wonder why I do it sometimes! And moments over Christmas where his
:08:43. > :08:48.family worried he was going slightly mad.
:08:49. > :08:53.# Jingle Bells, Alex Sayles, round the world he goes!
:08:54. > :09:00.His wife is desperate to get him home. I have spoken to him and been
:09:01. > :09:05.in contact but seeing him is totally different. I can't wait. Just two
:09:06. > :09:09.weeks into the race, his boat got so badly damaged it hugely affected his
:09:10. > :09:14.speed, but he still smashed the world record for the greatest
:09:15. > :09:18.distance sailed solo in 24 hours. But what perhaps is better than a
:09:19. > :09:24.record after three months at sea, his team promised to have on hand a
:09:25. > :09:29.hot burger and a cold beer! You might have seen this already.
:09:30. > :09:33.Novak Djokovic is out of the Australian Open. He lost in the
:09:34. > :09:40.second round. That doesn't happen often. He lost to the world number
:09:41. > :09:43.117, Dennis is stunning. This is the assessment of the two-time Wimbledon
:09:44. > :09:49.Schenkel -- two-time Wimbledon champion from Pat Cash. It is
:09:50. > :09:53.incredible to think he couldn't get through. Normally this time last
:09:54. > :09:57.year, we would have said, straight sets, wouldn't take much more than
:09:58. > :10:02.an hour and a half. It just shows Novak has lost his edge. No doubt
:10:03. > :10:05.about that. If we were doubting that before, we are certainly confirmed
:10:06. > :10:10.that he is not the same player he was six months ago.
:10:11. > :10:16.Deloitte has released its annual report into the world's richest
:10:17. > :10:22.football clubs. Ollie Foster at BBC Sport has read it so you don't have
:10:23. > :10:25.to! Let me find you. There you are. Got you at last! Manchester United
:10:26. > :10:31.top, aren't they? I saw the headline. They are indeed. After 11
:10:32. > :10:35.years, Real Madrid have been knocked off the top spot. Manchester United
:10:36. > :10:38.are really going to worry the rest of the Premier League this season
:10:39. > :10:41.but at least their accountants and their money men can take some pride
:10:42. > :10:46.in the fact that they are top of this mini league table. Delight,
:10:47. > :10:59.they reveal this, they've done over the last 20 years or so. --
:11:00. > :11:06.Deloitte. Man United were top on ?88 million a few years ago. ?515
:11:07. > :11:11.million! The first time the club went over the ?500 million mark.
:11:12. > :11:16.Real Madrid have moved down to third, with Barcelona just above
:11:17. > :11:24.them with .1 of ?1 million between them. Manchester City on the up.
:11:25. > :11:28.This was last season, when they were in the Champions League. Deloitte to
:11:29. > :11:33.say they have phenomenal commercial revenue growth, and they say that
:11:34. > :11:38.they secured commercial partnerships in excess of that achievable by
:11:39. > :11:41.their peers. But don't expect Manchester United to stay there,
:11:42. > :11:45.because when they look at this season, Man United haven't been in
:11:46. > :11:49.the Champions League, there's Brexit, sterling has fallen against
:11:50. > :11:53.the euro and all those other big clubs as well, they will be saying,
:11:54. > :11:57.look at those kit deals and the commercial deals Manchester United
:11:58. > :12:02.have achieved. In that last season. We want a deal as big a fact as
:12:03. > :12:06.well. So United back to the top but you can imagine Real Madrid
:12:07. > :12:09.returning there next year. Thank you. Thanks for putting that in
:12:10. > :12:14.context Ross. All week we've been following the
:12:15. > :12:18.squash tournament of champions that takes place in New York's Grand
:12:19. > :12:25.Central Station. I've been picking up a rally each day of the week.
:12:26. > :12:31.Here's another one for you featuring two giants of the game. Some of
:12:32. > :12:36.these rallies went on for so long, you can really put the kettle on,
:12:37. > :12:40.talk to your friends, and the rally will go on till it gets to the sharp
:12:41. > :12:44.end of things. This was actually a five set thriller. Gauthier won.
:12:45. > :12:51.Very injured at one stage in the match. Another match featuring Laura
:12:52. > :12:55.Massaro. She is in the final later today. Unfortunately, technical
:12:56. > :12:59.details in New York, not the BBC, but in New York, the organisers,
:13:00. > :13:03.mean I cannot show you how game, which is a shame because it was a
:13:04. > :13:07.great performance. You can get clips on our Facebook page. I've talked
:13:08. > :13:13.all this way and still I can show you the end of the rally! Can't
:13:14. > :13:26.believe how tight they are hitting it! Brilliant! He's made the error!
:13:27. > :13:31.There it is. Fist pumps! Very impressive from both of them.
:13:32. > :13:35.Gauthier is in the final later on. Let me pick up the feed of the
:13:36. > :13:39.concert going on by the Washington Memorial. This is the Make America
:13:40. > :13:51.Great Again concert. Let's have a listen. BAND MUSIC PLAYS.
:13:52. > :14:03.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's what is happening in
:14:04. > :14:06.Washington at the moment. I've just had a message from Christina saying
:14:07. > :14:12.can you update us on what is happening in Italy? A terrible
:14:13. > :14:21.avalanche by the hotel. We will cover this in just a few minutes.
:14:22. > :14:26.A British local authority is to hold a referendum on whether to increase
:14:27. > :14:32.council tax by 15% to pay for essential services which it says are
:14:33. > :14:35.at risk due to a funding shortfall. Surrey County Council, which is
:14:36. > :14:39.controlled by the Conservative Party, says it has a huge gap in its
:14:40. > :14:43.budget and needs the extra money to fund improved social care for the
:14:44. > :14:50.elderly, services for those with disabilities and for children.
:14:51. > :14:54.You don't get a choice about getting old, but how to pay the huge bills
:14:55. > :14:58.for care? Councils pay most of it and now one authority has had enough
:14:59. > :15:03.of government cuts and paying for more and more with less and less.
:15:04. > :15:10.Surrey is asking council tax payers, yes or no, to a 15% increase for
:15:11. > :15:13.social care. I think it's important that politicians stand up and tell
:15:14. > :15:17.the truth and be honest with the residents and tell them what it
:15:18. > :15:22.costs to run these services. We have to pay for these services! Is not
:15:23. > :15:27.easy finding people here who are pay what will be nearly ?2000 more than
:15:28. > :15:35.on an average home, though nobody could call Surrey hard up. I heard
:15:36. > :15:40.it on the one o'clock news today. They want more of the money for
:15:41. > :15:44.social care. Certainly not. That's totally obscene. There's lots of
:15:45. > :15:49.money in Surrey but it doesn't mean we are going to accept a 15%
:15:50. > :15:55.increase. It's not on. I think it's a very bad idea. I can't afford to
:15:56. > :16:01.pay because my pension is frozen. More council tax to pay for social
:16:02. > :16:05.care. Do you fancy that? I'm up for it. I think we live in a very
:16:06. > :16:10.affluent area and I think we can all afford it. I know lots of people
:16:11. > :16:15.around who need it more than we do. I agree. I think that's right. Is
:16:16. > :16:19.the side of a civilised society, one that looks after and cares for its
:16:20. > :16:26.older people responsibly, and I think it's a problem that will
:16:27. > :16:28.escalate over the years. It's not going to go away and we have to
:16:29. > :16:32.address it. The Labour Leader also agrees we should bear the rising
:16:33. > :16:36.costs of social care. It is not right which cross the social care
:16:37. > :16:40.crisis on local authorities, all of whom have different levels of income
:16:41. > :16:42.over the country. Its central government responsibility and the
:16:43. > :16:52.central government should face up to its responsibility. -- it is a
:16:53. > :16:55.central government responsibility. In several votes over the last few
:16:56. > :17:03.years on whether to raise council tax, the answer was no.
:17:04. > :17:06.We live in the BBC newsroom in Outside Source. Events have begun in
:17:07. > :17:11.Washington leading up to the inauguration of Donald Trump on
:17:12. > :17:14.Friday. Earlier he appeared at Arlington Cemetery to honour those
:17:15. > :17:18.who lost their lives serving in the American military.
:17:19. > :17:24.This is what is coming up after Outside Source. If you are watching
:17:25. > :17:29.outside of the UK, it is World News America. As you can imagine, they
:17:30. > :17:33.have plenty on Donald Trump, looking at his relations, including with
:17:34. > :17:41.Vladimir Putin. Next in the UK, we have the News at
:17:42. > :17:46.Ten with Hugh Edwards. Local officials in Italy are saying
:17:47. > :17:51.between 30 and 35 people are still missing after an avalanche hit a
:17:52. > :17:55.hotel. We know there were four earthquakes in quick succession in
:17:56. > :17:59.and around the region and they are thought to be the cause of what
:18:00. > :18:04.happened. Rescuers worked through the night to reach the hotel to see
:18:05. > :18:08.if they could find survivors. It was incredibly hard to get there because
:18:09. > :18:15.all the roads were blocked. As you will see in this report.
:18:16. > :18:21.At night, the quickest way through the wall of snow was on skis. These
:18:22. > :18:25.rescuers are amongst the most experienced in Europe. Even they
:18:26. > :18:30.struggled to move forward. Step-by-step, they shovelled their
:18:31. > :18:33.way up towards the Rigopiano hotel. They went further in,
:18:34. > :18:52.and came to where the avalanche hit. A six-foot-high wall
:18:53. > :18:54.of snow and rock broke Several miles away,
:18:55. > :19:02.a father waited for news Straight after yesterday's
:19:03. > :19:10.earthquakes, they texted each other. "I think the worst has already
:19:11. > :19:23.happened," he reassured her. His daughter, and many other
:19:24. > :19:28.people, may be trapped These pictures, filmed
:19:29. > :19:35.after daybreak, show the Rigopiano Do you think it's possible
:19:36. > :19:43.to find more people alive? In the past, we found
:19:44. > :19:50.people after three days And especially in this case,
:19:51. > :19:59.there could be some Rescuers are helped by the fact that
:20:00. > :20:10.conditions here have improved. We haven't felt any more
:20:11. > :20:12.earthquakes or tremors. Relief workers a few miles up
:20:13. > :20:16.the hill, will hope the snow holds Relief workers a few miles up
:20:17. > :20:19.the hill will hope the snow holds And those rescuers continue
:20:20. > :20:23.on their path to and from the destroyed hotel,
:20:24. > :20:29.searching for survivors or bodies. James Reynolds, BBC News,
:20:30. > :20:40.Penne, central Italy. Of course people all over the world
:20:41. > :20:44.will be watching Donald Trump's inauguration as president of the US,
:20:45. > :20:48.but perhaps people in Mexico will be paying more attention than most.
:20:49. > :20:52.He's been very critical of the trading relationship between Mexico
:20:53. > :20:58.and the US and of the immigration setup. He wants to build that wall,
:20:59. > :21:03.which he's talked about a lot. You may have recently seen Ford withdrew
:21:04. > :21:11.a significant investment in Mexico. We've been looking at that issue.
:21:12. > :21:15.This places a world away from the spectacle on Capitol Hill. The dry
:21:16. > :21:19.valleys and desert landscape could and contrast more sharply with the
:21:20. > :21:23.glitz of the presidential inauguration ceremony in Washington,
:21:24. > :21:27.DC. And yet since Donald Trump was elected, the two places are now
:21:28. > :21:32.inexorably linked. This dusty corner of central Mexico felt perhaps the
:21:33. > :21:36.first blow of Mr Tron's aggressive brand of economic protectionism.
:21:37. > :21:41.Faced with threats of higher border taxes, the car giant Ford decided to
:21:42. > :21:44.pull out of $1.6 billion car assembly plant it was building here
:21:45. > :21:50.and invest at least part of the money in Michigan instead. -- Mr
:21:51. > :21:54.Tron 's aggressive brand. The suggestion was that the next four
:21:55. > :21:57.years would be tougher than he had hoped. He had worked on the site for
:21:58. > :22:02.the six months when the entire workforce was told out of the blue
:22:03. > :22:08.they were fired. He now harvests cactuses to make a living.
:22:09. > :22:13.TRANSLATION: I would ask him to play fair with us and lend us a hand. We
:22:14. > :22:19.need jobs here, too. We need work. I think that's where delinquency and
:22:20. > :22:21.crime come from. No work. The authorities here admit Ford's
:22:22. > :22:28.decision has hurt their economic forecast. It is a worry and I can
:22:29. > :22:32.tell you that the worst thing that is happening is that we don't have
:22:33. > :22:36.the rules yet. We don't know how he's going to play the rules in the
:22:37. > :22:41.economy or the platform he's going to plan for the next months.
:22:42. > :22:45.Automobiles and agriculture are the mainstay of the local economy here,
:22:46. > :22:51.but as more US car firms choose Michigan over this town, desert
:22:52. > :22:56.towns and villages are finding themselves on the of Donald Trump's
:22:57. > :23:00.economic conflict with Mexico. These people are some of its first
:23:01. > :23:04.casualties. And it comes at a particularly volatile time for the
:23:05. > :23:09.Mexican economy, too. Many furious at a government imposed
