This morning Theresa May will tell business and political leaders

:00:09.:00:17.

at the World Economic Forum meeting in the Swiss resort of Davos

:00:18.:00:20.

It's the Prime Minister's first Brexit speech since she said

:00:21.:00:26.

on Tuesday that Britain could not possibly stay in the single

:00:27.:00:29.

Also, are the British press biased against Muslims?

:00:30.:00:38.

Last month nine articles about Muslims in UK news

:00:39.:00:40.

outlets were corrected after they were proven to be wrong,

:00:41.:00:43.

We've been speaking exclusively to the activist waging a war

:00:44.:00:49.

on the false reporting which he says breeds division across the country.

:00:50.:00:55.

The Sunday Times article stated in its headline enclaves of Islam and

:00:56.:01:07.

the UK is 75% Muslim, and it is about to report on integration

:01:08.:01:10.

across the country. But what the report actually said was one school

:01:11.:01:14.

had students who thought that the majority of the country were Asian.

:01:15.:01:16.

Asian rather than Muslim? This year's secondary school league

:01:17.:01:23.

tables are out shortly, and for the first time,

:01:24.:01:25.

a new measure is being Attainment 8 assesses each

:01:26.:01:28.

student's achievement across eight GCSE subjects,

:01:29.:01:31.

while Progress 8 measures how they progress

:01:32.:01:35.

through secondary school. The Government's aim is to focus

:01:36.:01:36.

on pupils' development rather than just exam results,

:01:37.:01:39.

but will it be any better? Welcome to the programme,

:01:40.:01:41.

we're live until 11 this morning. Also, has clean eating

:01:42.:01:55.

become a dirty word? Tonight a BBC programme calls

:01:56.:02:01.

into question the advice of healthy eating gurus who have been telling

:02:02.:02:05.

us to eat clean - eating food in its most natural state

:02:06.:02:08.

and avoiding anything processed. We will be speaking to the Cambridge

:02:09.:02:10.

scientist taking on the gurus Have you tried clean

:02:11.:02:13.

eating - are you a fan? Do get in touch on that

:02:14.:02:21.

and all the stories we're talking about this morning -

:02:22.:02:26.

use the hashtag #Victorialive and If you text,

:02:27.:02:28.

you will be charged at the standard Several people have been

:02:29.:02:30.

killed after a hotel Up to 30 guests and staff

:02:31.:02:38.

were in the Rigo-piano Hotel on San Grasso mountain

:02:39.:02:43.

in the central Abruzzo region. The avalanche was triggered

:02:44.:02:45.

by a series of powerful earthquakes Rescuers are having to ski

:02:46.:02:47.

to the hotel as roads Let's speak to Andrea

:02:48.:02:51.

Vogt, a freelance Andrea, what are you hearing about

:02:52.:03:00.

this? There is a very complex rescue operation under way. As you

:03:01.:03:06.

mentioned, the first rescuers arrived on skis, and all of the

:03:07.:03:09.

emergency vehicles have not been able to get through to the site.

:03:10.:03:14.

There are believed to be up to 30 people, seven staff, and the rest

:03:15.:03:18.

were guest at the hotel when the earthquake and then the avalanche

:03:19.:03:22.

hit, so right now several people have been airlifted out with

:03:23.:03:33.

hypothermia. There were below freezing temperatures during the

:03:34.:03:36.

night, and the hotel was covered with snow and debris, part of it did

:03:37.:03:40.

collapse, so very difficult conditions to survive in, and there

:03:41.:03:46.

are fears that many may have perished after this earthquake

:03:47.:03:52.

triggered an avalanche. It has just been hammered. Tell us more about

:03:53.:03:59.

the area. Is it a popular area, a busy area with skiers? No, it is

:04:00.:04:10.

quite isolated, it is a long the Gran Sasso mountain. Some of these

:04:11.:04:13.

people may be the people who were displaced by the original

:04:14.:04:18.

earthquake. One of the first things the rescuers will try to do is to

:04:19.:04:21.

get to the guest list, but it is a very remote area, mountainous and

:04:22.:04:27.

remote and difficult to get in. You may be familiar with Amatrice where

:04:28.:04:35.

the earthquakes hit last August, that church tower collapsed

:04:36.:04:38.

yesterday, so what we are seeing is many of these buildings that were

:04:39.:04:41.

made on stable by the first earthquakes are now collapsing

:04:42.:04:47.

further, so lots of things, many hamlets have not been reached, but

:04:48.:04:51.

rescuers are focused right now on this hotel that was completely

:04:52.:04:55.

covered with debris and snow, about four metres of snow on site. Andrea,

:04:56.:04:59.

thank you very much indeed far dating us. We will keep you updated

:05:00.:05:03.

with the latest on that. But now let's catch up with the latest news

:05:04.:05:09.

with Annita in the newsroom. Thank you very much.

:05:10.:05:13.

Theresa May will tell world leaders in Davos this morning that the UK

:05:14.:05:16.

It's her first visit to the World Economic Forum as Prime Minister.

:05:17.:05:21.

Many in the audience will be hostile to her plan to take Britain out

:05:22.:05:24.

Let's speak to Tanya Beckett in Davos.

:05:25.:05:26.

Good morning. We heard Theresa May's Brexit speech on Tuesday. Will her

:05:27.:05:35.

message be slightly different today for this audience? Yes, so she is

:05:36.:05:44.

talking to a group of people who live and breathe capitalism and

:05:45.:05:48.

trade, so she has to really set her store as being one which is open for

:05:49.:05:52.

business. Yes, Britain might be leaving the European Union, however,

:05:53.:05:58.

it is very much interested in doing deals elsewhere, and in order for

:05:59.:06:03.

this to work well, for Brexit to work well, that needs to be very

:06:04.:06:08.

much part of the deal, so she is going to be wanting to talk to banks

:06:09.:06:12.

who have already said that if Britain is coming out of the single

:06:13.:06:18.

market, they need to set up subsidiaries, and people have been

:06:19.:06:21.

long thinking this is the case, with what remains of the EU. She is also

:06:22.:06:27.

going to want to trade ministers from other countries -- talk to

:06:28.:06:30.

trade ministers from other countries to do business as soon as they can,

:06:31.:06:34.

and businesses will welcome what she had to say because it offers them

:06:35.:06:37.

some degree of certainty, and they like that. Any other snippets that

:06:38.:06:42.

she could offer in terms of what sort of deal she might do with the

:06:43.:06:47.

EU would also be welcome. They have to make some practical decisions.

:06:48.:06:51.

Then she will have to face representatives from other EU

:06:52.:06:54.

countries, and that might be more tricky. Tanya Beckett in Davos,

:06:55.:06:57.

thank you for that. We'll bring you that speech live

:06:58.:07:00.

to you in the next few minutes. This is the scene, the podium where

:07:01.:07:08.

she will make that speech, and we are expecting that to happen just a

:07:09.:07:11.

few minutes after half past nine. We will bring that to you live.

:07:12.:07:17.

There are reports of troops from Senegal entering

:07:18.:07:19.

Gambia, as the political crisis there escalates.

:07:20.:07:24.

The defeated President Yayha Jammeh has ignored a midnight deadline

:07:25.:07:27.

to give way to the winner of last month's election, Adama Barrow.

:07:28.:07:29.

West African military forces have been preparing to move in to enforce

Scientists are working to deal with three diseases

:07:39.:07:46.

they fear could become global health emergencies.

:07:47.:07:48.

A group of charities and governments is spending more

:07:49.:07:50.

than 370 million pounds to tackle Middle East Respiratory Syndrome,

:07:51.:07:52.

A girl who was kidnapped as a baby 18 years ago

:07:53.:08:01.

has defended the woman who took her from

:08:02.:08:03.

Lexis Manigo was abducted by Gloria Williams, a woman

:08:04.:08:07.

Miss Manigo has praised her upbringing by the woman

:08:08.:08:11.

I understand what she did was wrong, but just look at my life itself, you

:08:12.:08:23.

know? I understand that one mistake, but it wasn't all bad. Everything

:08:24.:08:28.

that came out of it was not bad. It would be wrong if I would say, no, I

:08:29.:08:34.

don't want to get to know them, you know, curiosity, I will get to know

:08:35.:08:36.

them, of course. . A British man who travelled

:08:37.:08:44.

to America from the UK to have sex with boys has been sentenced to 13

:08:45.:08:47.

years in a US prison. 70-year-old Paul Charles Wilkins,

:08:48.:08:51.

from Cambridgeshire flew to California in January 2016

:08:52.:08:52.

and was caught in an Bomb disposal teams were called at

:08:53.:09:07.

almost 600 schools after warnings of a potentially hazardous material

:09:08.:09:13.

used in chemistry lessons. The army carried out hundreds of controlled

:09:14.:09:15.

explosions between October and December last year.

:09:16.:09:19.

Today is Barack Obama's final day in office as Donald Trump

:09:20.:09:22.

prepares to be sworn in as the 45th US president.

:09:23.:09:25.

Yesterday, the first lady Michelle Obama,

:09:26.:09:26.

was captured doing a final lap of the White House, as pictures

:09:27.:09:29.

In his last press conference as head of state, Mr Obama said he looked

:09:30.:09:37.

forward to spending more time with his wife and his

:09:38.:09:40.

Man, my daughters are something. And they just surprise and enchant

:09:41.:09:57.

and... Impress me more and more every single day as they grow up.

:09:58.:10:00.

President Obama. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:10:01.:10:04.

News - more at 9.30. Thank you very much, Annita. Later

:10:05.:10:15.

in the programme, we will be talking to the finish winner of the X Factor

:10:16.:10:22.

who has signed a deal with Sony. Lots to come between now and 11,

:10:23.:10:26.

including a discussion on clean eating. What do you think about

:10:27.:10:30.

that? Has it changed the way you eat? Do you feel like you should eat

:10:31.:10:37.

more clean as a result of all the bloggers out there talking about

:10:38.:10:39.

that? Do get in touch with us

:10:40.:10:42.

throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria live

:10:43.:10:45.

and If you text, you will be charged Now let's get the sport with Hugh. A

:10:46.:10:56.

shock at the Australian open? Good morning, Joanna.

:10:57.:10:59.

A huge shock at the Australian Open in the last hour - defending

:11:00.:11:03.

He was beaten in five sets by the wild card

:11:04.:11:07.

and world number 117, Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan.

:11:08.:11:09.

Istomin took the first set, but Djokovic won the next two.

:11:10.:11:14.

But he never really looked comfortable.

:11:15.:11:18.

Istomin then took the fourth in a tiebreak to level

:11:19.:11:21.

the match, going on to win the deciding set 6-4.

:11:22.:11:23.

It took 4 hours and 48 minutes, but Istomin

:11:24.:11:25.

And surely the biggest winner here is Andy Murray,

:11:26.:11:29.

who's looking to win his first title in Melbourne.

:11:30.:11:32.

His biggest challenger already out in the second round.

:11:33.:11:39.

A word on the Brits - Johanna Konta says she's looking

:11:40.:11:41.

forward to staying in Melbourne for 'as long as possible' -

:11:42.:11:44.

The British Number One eased to victory over Naomi Osaka

:11:45.:11:48.

of Japan in straight sets - to reach the third round,

:11:49.:11:50.

where she'll face former World Number 1 Caroline Wozniaki.

:11:51.:11:52.

There was bad news though for Heather Watson, defeated

:11:53.:11:54.

by American qualifier Jennifer Brady.

:11:55.:12:03.

Kyle Edmund had high hopes, too, but went out in straight sets

:12:04.:12:06.

No big shocks in last month was Mike FA Cup?

:12:07.:12:14.

-- last night's FA Cup? No, Jurgen Klopp was mad Liverpool made it

:12:15.:12:19.

through, but a tinge of regret for Plymouth. Jake Jervis hit the post

:12:20.:12:26.

of Liverpool in the second half of the replay, however Jurgen Klopp's

:12:27.:12:32.

men move onto phase Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on the fourth

:12:33.:12:35.

round. Newcastle and Southampton also went through after their wings

:12:36.:12:39.

last night. And Manchester United top of one

:12:40.:12:43.

leak this morning? Yes, better news off the field than

:12:44.:12:47.

on it, they have become the richest club in football once again for the

:12:48.:12:51.

first time in 11 years. They go ahead of the European champions rail

:12:52.:13:00.

-- Real Madrid, third richest is Barcelona. Eight Premier League

:13:01.:13:06.

clubs make the top 20 of the football money list, including

:13:07.:13:09.

Leicester City for the first time. And England's cricketers hoping to

:13:10.:13:14.

level their one-day series with India, they won the toss and have

:13:15.:13:20.

chosen to bowl, and India are 74-3 after 17 of their 50 overs. Thank

:13:21.:13:23.

you very much, Hugh. Theresa May is about to

:13:24.:13:29.

speak to world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos

:13:30.:13:31.

to reassure them that Britain is open for business post

:13:32.:13:34.

Brexit, let's listen in. Theresa May is preparing for her

:13:35.:13:48.

speech to world leaders in Davos. He said, you cannot have all the

:13:49.:14:07.

advantages of being a member of the club if you are outside the club.

:14:08.:14:11.

Theresa May said earlier in the week that no deal is better than a bad

:14:12.:14:20.

deal, and the UK will not be a member of the single market going

:14:21.:14:26.

forward. But she wants the message today to be an outward pitch to the

:14:27.:14:29.

business leaders who will be there, the trade leaders, that Britain is

:14:30.:14:30.

open for business, and wants new trade deals

:14:31.:14:39.

as she looks ahead to global Britain, as she put it in her speech

:14:40.:14:46.

on Brexit. We are expecting her to start to speak shortly on the

:14:47.:14:55.

question of trade deals. For trade negotiations cannot begin until...

:14:56.:15:01.

That is a picture of her earlier in the week with that catchline Global

:15:02.:15:08.

Britain, but in terms of negotiating trade deals, formal negotiations

:15:09.:15:17.

cannot begin until the UK is actually out of the European Union.

:15:18.:15:26.

We are going to be speaking on the programme are little later to the

:15:27.:15:30.

man widely tipped to be the next US ambassador to the EU, and he has

:15:31.:15:35.

been speaking about the potential for a UK/ US trade deal which Donald

:15:36.:15:42.

Trump himself raise just a few days ago, saying the formal negotiations

:15:43.:15:46.

can't begin, but there is no reason why talks can't start, and he talks

:15:47.:15:52.

potentially of a time frame of around 90 days to come up with some

:15:53.:15:55.

sort of a deal, so it will be interesting to talk to him a little

:15:56.:15:58.

bit later on the programme about that. We are still waiting for

:15:59.:16:02.

Theresa May, so we will just move on, but we will go back as soon as

:16:03.:16:05.

she starts to speak. President-elect Donald Trump takes

:16:06.:16:12.

the oath of office tomorrow and it's thought about 900,000 people

:16:13.:16:14.

are expected to gather in Washington But his supporters are

:16:15.:16:17.

already on their way There will be a wreath laying

:16:18.:16:20.

at Arlington National Cemetery with both Donald Trump and his

:16:21.:16:23.

Vice President Mike Pence attending. So let's find out a bit more

:16:24.:16:29.

about what's on the agenda The only thing we have to fear is

:16:30.:17:56.

fear itself. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you

:17:57.:17:58.

can do for your country. The inauguration is being boycotted

:17:59.:18:31.

by some politicians, and in terms of the numbers going to the

:18:32.:18:40.

inauguration, around 800,000 to 900,000 are expected to go, but that

:18:41.:18:44.

compares with double the number actually when Barack Obama was

:18:45.:18:52.

inaugurated. There has also been a lot made of the fact that various

:18:53.:18:56.

performers were wanted for events who would not do it and we will be

:18:57.:19:01.

speaking more about what is planned and what is anticipated on the eve

:19:02.:19:04.

of Donald Trump's turning from ordinary citizen to the president.

:19:05.:19:13.

We will be talking to the man who is widely tipped to be the United

:19:14.:19:24.

States new ambassador to the EU. Theresa May has just arrived on

:19:25.:19:27.

stage at Davos and so we will listen to her speech.

:19:28.:19:33.

Thank you for the introduction and thank you for inviting me to speak

:19:34.:19:40.

here at the World Economic Forum this morning. This is an

:19:41.:19:45.

organisation that is, as it says in the very first line of your mission

:19:46.:19:49.

statement, committed to improving the state of the world. Those of us

:19:50.:19:55.

who meet here are all by instinct and outlook optimists who believe in

:19:56.:20:03.

the power of public and private cooperation to make the world of

:20:04.:20:08.

tomorrow better than the world of today. And we are all united in our

:20:09.:20:16.

belief that that world will be built on the foundations of free trade,

:20:17.:20:26.

partnership and globalisation. Yet beyond the confines of this hall,

:20:27.:20:29.

those forces for good that we so often take for granted are being

:20:30.:20:39.

called into question. The forces of liberalism, free trade and

:20:40.:20:41.

globalisation that have had and continue to have such an

:20:42.:20:47.

overwhelmingly positive impact on our world, that have harnessed

:20:48.:20:50.

unprecedented levels of wealth and opportunity, that have lifted

:20:51.:20:56.

millions out of poverty around the world, that have brought nations

:20:57.:21:01.

closer together, broken down barriers and improved standards of

:21:02.:21:04.

living and consumer choice, forces that underpins the rules -based

:21:05.:21:11.

international system that is key to global prosperity and security, are

:21:12.:21:18.

somehow at risk of being undermined. And as we meet here, this morning,

:21:19.:21:24.

across Europe, parties of the far left and the far right are seeking

:21:25.:21:31.

to exploit this opportunity. During support by feeding off an underlying

:21:32.:21:37.

and keenly felt sense among some people, often those on modest to low

:21:38.:21:42.

incomes, living in relatively rich countries around the West, that

:21:43.:21:46.

these forces are not working for them. And those parties who embrace

:21:47.:21:53.

the politics of division and despair, who offer easy answers, who

:21:54.:21:58.

claim to understand people's problems and always know what and

:21:59.:22:02.

who to blame, feed of something else as well. The sense among the public

:22:03.:22:08.

that mainstream political and business leaders have failed to

:22:09.:22:12.

comprehend there are legitimate concerns for too long. This morning,

:22:13.:22:21.

I want to set out a manifesto for change, that responds to these

:22:22.:22:25.

concerns, and shows that the politics of the mainstream can

:22:26.:22:30.

deliver the change people need. I want to show how, by taking a new

:22:31.:22:35.

approach, that harnesses the good of what works and what changes -- and

:22:36.:22:40.

changes what does not we can maintain and can build support for

:22:41.:22:47.

the rules -based international system. And I want to explain how,

:22:48.:22:52.

as we do so, the United Kingdom, a country that has so often been at

:22:53.:22:57.

the forefront of economic and social change, will step up to a new

:22:58.:23:02.

leadership role as the strongest and most forceful advocate for business,

:23:03.:23:07.

free markets and free trade anywhere in the world. For that is the unique

:23:08.:23:17.

opportunity that Britain now has. I speak to you this morning as the

:23:18.:23:21.

Prime Minister of a country that faces the future with confidence.

:23:22.:23:26.

For a little over six months ago, millions of my fellow citizens upset

:23:27.:23:32.

the odds by voting with determination and quiet resolve to

:23:33.:23:36.

leave the European Union, and embrace the world. Let us not

:23:37.:23:46.

underestimate the magnitude of that decision, it means Britain must face

:23:47.:23:52.

up to a period of momentous change. We must go through a tough

:23:53.:23:55.

negotiation and forge a new Rol for ourselves in the world full of it

:23:56.:23:59.

means accepting that the road ahead will be uncertain at times, but

:24:00.:24:04.

believing that it leads towards a brighter future for our country's

:24:05.:24:10.

children and grandchildren, too. So while it would have been easy for

:24:11.:24:13.

the British people to shy away from taking such a path, they fixed their

:24:14.:24:19.

eyes on that brighter future, and chose a bold, ambitious course,

:24:20.:24:24.

instead, they chose to build a truly global Britain. I know that this and

:24:25.:24:30.

the other reasons Britain took such a decision is not always well

:24:31.:24:36.

understood internationally, particularly among our friends and

:24:37.:24:40.

allies in Europe. Some of our European partners feel that we have

:24:41.:24:44.

turned our back on them, and I know many fear what our decision means

:24:45.:24:49.

for the future of the US itself. But as I said in my speech earlier this

:24:50.:24:53.

week, arid decision to leave the European Union was no rejection of

:24:54.:24:59.

our friends in Europe with whom we share common interests and values

:25:00.:25:04.

and so much else. -- our decision. It was no attempt to become more

:25:05.:25:08.

distant from them, or to seize the corporation that has helped to keep

:25:09.:25:15.

our continent secure and strong. Nor was it an attempt to undermine the

:25:16.:25:22.

European Union itself. It remains overwhelmingly and compellingly in

:25:23.:25:26.

Britain's national interest that the EU as an organisation should

:25:27.:25:35.

succeed. It would simply restore as we see it Parliamentary democracy

:25:36.:25:37.

and national self-determination. A vote to take control and make

:25:38.:25:45.

decisions for ourselves. And crucially, to become even more

:25:46.:25:49.

global and internationalist in action and in spirit as well.

:25:50.:25:54.

Because that is who we are, as a nation. Britain's history and

:25:55.:25:58.

culture is profoundly internationalist. We are a European

:25:59.:26:04.

country, and proud of our shared European heritage. But we are also a

:26:05.:26:10.

country that has always looked beyond Europe, into the wider world.

:26:11.:26:15.

That is why we are among the most racially diverse countries in

:26:16.:26:18.

Europe, one of the most multicultural members of the

:26:19.:26:23.

European Union. And why, whether we are talking about India, Pakistan,

:26:24.:26:28.

Bangladesh, America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, countries in

:26:29.:26:31.

Africa, Asia, or those closer to home in Europe, so many of us have

:26:32.:26:36.

close friends and relatives from across the world. And it is why we

:26:37.:26:42.

are by instinct a greater global trading nation that seeks to trade

:26:43.:26:47.

with countries not just in Europe but beyond Europe as well. So at the

:26:48.:26:53.

heart of the plan, I set out earlier this week, is a determination to

:26:54.:26:59.

pursue a bold and ambitious free trade agreement between the UK and

:27:00.:27:05.

the European Union. But more than that, we seek the freedom to strike

:27:06.:27:10.

new trade deals with old friends and new allies, right around the world

:27:11.:27:17.

as well. I am pleased we have already started discussions on

:27:18.:27:21.

future trade ties with countries like Australia, New Zealand and

:27:22.:27:25.

India. Countries including China, Brazil and the Gulf states have

:27:26.:27:30.

already expressed their interest in striking trade deals with us. It is

:27:31.:27:35.

about embracing genuine free trade, because that is the basis of our

:27:36.:27:41.

prosperity. But also, the best way to cement the multilateral

:27:42.:27:44.

partnerships and cooperation that helped to build a better world. For

:27:45.:27:52.

the challenges we face, like terrorism, climate change and modern

:27:53.:27:56.

slavery, don't stop at national borders. Nor do they stop at the

:27:57.:28:03.

borders of continents. The challenges and opportunities before

:28:04.:28:07.

us require us to look outwards in a spirit of cooperation and

:28:08.:28:12.

partnership. That is why, as I said in my speech on Tuesday, I want the

:28:13.:28:17.

UK to emerge from this period of change as a truly global Britain.

:28:18.:28:23.

The best friend and neighbour to our European partners, but a country

:28:24.:28:26.

that reaches beyond the borders of Europe, too, a country that gets out

:28:27.:28:31.

into the world, to build relationships with old friends and

:28:32.:28:37.

new allies alike. And that is exactly what we are going to do. We

:28:38.:28:42.

are going to be a confident country, that is in control of its own

:28:43.:28:47.

destiny once again. It is because of that that we will be in a position

:28:48.:28:52.

to act in this global role. Because a country in control of its own

:28:53.:28:58.

destiny is more, not less able, to play a full role in underpinning and

:28:59.:29:02.

strengthening the multilateral rules -based system. A global Britain is

:29:03.:29:09.

no less British because we are a hub for foreign investment, indeed, our

:29:10.:29:15.

biggest manufacturer, Tata, is Indian, and you still cannot get

:29:16.:29:18.

more British than a Jaguar, or a Land Rover. Britain is no less

:29:19.:29:22.

British because it is home to people from around the world, in fact, we

:29:23.:29:27.

derive so much of our strength from our diversity, we are a multiracial,

:29:28.:29:33.

multiethnic, multi-faith democracy. We are proud of it. Britain is no

:29:34.:29:38.

less British because we have led the way in multilateral organisations

:29:39.:29:44.

like the UN, Nato, IMF and the World Bank over many years. Membership of

:29:45.:29:50.

these bodies over the years magnifies all their members ability

:29:51.:29:54.

to advance the common goods of peace, prosperity and security. I

:29:55.:29:59.

believe strongly in a rules -based global order. The establishment of

:30:00.:30:05.

the institutions that gave effect to it in the mid-20th century was a

:30:06.:30:10.

crucial foundation for much of the growing peace and prosperity the

:30:11.:30:11.

world has enjoyed. And the tragic history of the first

:30:12.:30:22.

half of the last century reminds us of the cost of those institutions'

:30:23.:30:27.

absence. The litany of follies of that time, the mistakes that we

:30:28.:30:30.

should never forget and never repeat. So we must uphold the

:30:31.:30:36.

institutions that enable the nations of the world to work together, and

:30:37.:30:42.

we must continue to promote international corporation wherever

:30:43.:30:46.

we can. One example of that is modern slavery. A scourge of our

:30:47.:30:52.

world, which we can only defeat if we work together. Changing

:30:53.:30:57.

attitudes, rooting out such abhorrent practices and prosecuting

:30:58.:31:03.

the perpetrators. That is why at Davos this year I have convened a

:31:04.:31:07.

high-level panel discussion to continue our co-ordinated effort to

:31:08.:31:13.

save those many lives which are tragically being stolen.

:31:14.:31:20.

International cooperation is vital, but we must never forget that our

:31:21.:31:26.

first responsibility as governments is to serve the people, and it is my

:31:27.:31:32.

firm belief that we as governments, international institutions, as Mrs

:31:33.:31:37.

and individuals, need to do more to respond to the concerns of those who

:31:38.:31:42.

feel that the modern world has left them behind. So in Britain, we have

:31:43.:31:47.

embarked on an ambitious programme of economic and social reform that

:31:48.:31:53.

aims to ensure that as we build this global Britain, we are able to take

:31:54.:32:00.

people with us. A programme that aims to show how a strong Britain

:32:01.:32:03.

abroad can be a better Britain at home. Because talk of greater

:32:04.:32:09.

globalisation can make people fearful. For many, it means their

:32:10.:32:14.

jobs being outsourced and wages undercut. It means having to sit

:32:15.:32:21.

back as they watch their communities change around them, and in their

:32:22.:32:24.

minds, it means watching as those who prosper seem to play by a

:32:25.:32:30.

different set of rules while for many life remains a struggle as they

:32:31.:32:36.

get by, but don't necessarily get on. And these tensions and

:32:37.:32:43.

differences are increasingly exposed and exploited through the expansion

:32:44.:32:46.

of new technologies and the growth of social media. But if we are to

:32:47.:32:53.

make the case for free markets, free trade and globalisation, as we must,

:32:54.:32:59.

those of us who believe in them must face up to and respond to the

:33:00.:33:04.

concerns people have. And we must work together to shape new policies

:33:05.:33:09.

and approaches that demonstrate their capacity to deliver for all of

:33:10.:33:13.

the people in our respective countries. I believe this challenge

:33:14.:33:20.

demands a new approach from government, and it requires a new

:33:21.:33:26.

approach from business, too. The government, it means not just

:33:27.:33:33.

stepping back and as the prevailing orthodoxy in many countries has

:33:34.:33:36.

argued for so many years, not just getting out of the way, not just

:33:37.:33:40.

leaving businesses to get on with the job and assuming the problems

:33:41.:33:44.

will just fix themselves. It means stepping up to a new active role

:33:45.:33:48.

that backs businesses and ensures more people in all corners of the

:33:49.:33:52.

country share in the benefits of its success. And from business, it means

:33:53.:33:58.

doing even more to spread those benefits to more people. It means

:33:59.:34:03.

playing by the same rules as everyone else when it comes to tax

:34:04.:34:08.

and behaviour. Because in the UK, trust in business runs at just 35%

:34:09.:34:13.

among those in the lowest income brackets. And it means putting aside

:34:14.:34:21.

short-term considerations and investing in people and communities

:34:22.:34:26.

for the long-term. These are all things that I know the vast majority

:34:27.:34:29.

of businesses do already, not just creating jobs, supporting smaller

:34:30.:34:37.

businesses, training and developing people, but also by working to give

:34:38.:34:40.

something back to communities, and supporting the next generation.

:34:41.:34:44.

Businesses large and small are the back bone of our economies, and

:34:45.:34:49.

enterprise is the engine of our prosperity. That is why Britain is

:34:50.:34:56.

and will always be open for business, open to investment in our

:34:57.:35:00.

companies, infrastructure, universities and entrepreneurs. Open

:35:01.:35:04.

to those who wants to buy art goods and services, and open to talent and

:35:05.:35:09.

opportunities from the arts to technology, finance to

:35:10.:35:14.

manufacturing. But at the same time as promoting this openness, we must

:35:15.:35:20.

heed the underlying feeling that there are some companies,

:35:21.:35:23.

particularly those with a global reach, who are playing by a

:35:24.:35:26.

different set of rules to ordinary working people. So it is essential

:35:27.:35:31.

for business to demonstrate leadership, to show that in this

:35:32.:35:37.

globalised world, everyone is playing by the same rules, and that

:35:38.:35:42.

the benefits of economic success are there for all our citizens. This

:35:43.:35:48.

work is absolutely crucial if we are to maintain public consent for a

:35:49.:35:52.

globalised economy and the businesses that operate within it.

:35:53.:35:57.

That is why I have talked a great deal about our country delivering

:35:58.:36:02.

yet higher standards of corporate governance to help make the UK the

:36:03.:36:07.

best place to invest of any major economy. That means several things.

:36:08.:36:11.

It means businesses paying their fair share of tax, recognising their

:36:12.:36:17.

obligations and duties to their employees and supply chains, and

:36:18.:36:22.

trading in the right way. Companies genuinely investing in and becoming

:36:23.:36:26.

part of the communities and nations in which they operate, and abiding

:36:27.:36:31.

by the responsibilities that implies. And all of us taking steps

:36:32.:36:37.

towards addressing executive pay and accountability to shareholders. And

:36:38.:36:42.

that is why I welcome the World Economic Forum's compact for

:36:43.:36:49.

responsive and responsible leadership that business leaders are

:36:50.:36:54.

being asked to sign up to at this conference. It is this change,

:36:55.:36:57.

setting clear rules for businesses to operate by while embracing the

:36:58.:37:01.

liberalism and free trade that enable them to thrive, which will

:37:02.:37:05.

allow us to conserve the ultimate good that is a globalised economy. I

:37:06.:37:11.

have no doubt at all about the vital role business plays, not just in the

:37:12.:37:16.

economic life of a nation, but in society, too. But to respond to that

:37:17.:37:24.

sense of anxiety people feel, I believe we, business and government

:37:25.:37:28.

working together, need to do even more to make the case. That is why

:37:29.:37:35.

in Britain we are developing a new, modern, industrial strategy. The

:37:36.:37:40.

term industrial strategy has fallen into something approaching disrepute

:37:41.:37:44.

in recent years, but I believe such a strategy that addresses the

:37:45.:37:47.

long-standing and structural weaknesses in our economy is

:37:48.:37:52.

essential if we are to promote the benefits of free markets and free

:37:53.:37:57.

trade as we wish. Our strategy is not about propping up failing

:37:58.:38:03.

industries or picking winners, but creating the conditions where

:38:04.:38:08.

winners can emerge and grow. It is about backing those winners all the

:38:09.:38:13.

waiting courage than to invest in the long-term future of Britain, and

:38:14.:38:18.

about delivering jobs and economic growth to every community and corner

:38:19.:38:23.

of the country. We can't leave all of this to international market

:38:24.:38:27.

forces alone, or just rely on an increase in overall prosperity.

:38:28.:38:32.

Instead, we have to be practical and proactive. In other words, we have

:38:33.:38:38.

to step up and take control to ensure that free trade and

:38:39.:38:44.

globalisation work for everyone. At the same time, we have embarked on

:38:45.:38:49.

an ambitious agenda of social reform that embraces the same principles.

:38:50.:38:53.

Active, engaged government that steps up and works for everyone.

:38:54.:38:58.

Because if you are someone who is just managing, just getting by, you

:38:59.:39:02.

don't need a government that will get out of the way. You need an

:39:03.:39:07.

active government that will step up and champion the things that matter

:39:08.:39:14.

to you. Governments traditionally have been good at identifying, if

:39:15.:39:18.

not always addressing, the problems and challenges faced by the least

:39:19.:39:23.

advantage in our societies. However, the mission I have laid out for the

:39:24.:39:29.

government I lead to make Britain a country that works for everyone goes

:39:30.:39:32.

further. It is to build something that I have called the shared

:39:33.:39:38.

society. One that doesn't just value our individual rights, but focuses

:39:39.:39:42.

rather more on the responsibilities we have to one another. That

:39:43.:39:47.

respects the bonds that people share, the bonds of family,

:39:48.:39:52.

community, citizenship and strong institutions. And that recognises

:39:53.:40:00.

the obligations we have as citizens, obligations that make our society

:40:01.:40:05.

work. It is these bonds and obligations that make our society

:40:06.:40:10.

strong and answer our basic human need for definition and identity.

:40:11.:40:17.

And I am absolutely clear that it is the job of government to encourage

:40:18.:40:21.

and nurture the Relay ships, networks and institutions that

:40:22.:40:27.

provide that definition and to correct the injustice and unfairness

:40:28.:40:30.

that divides us wherever it is found. Too often today, the

:40:31.:40:37.

responsibilities we have to one another have been forgotten as the

:40:38.:40:42.

cult of individualism has taken hold. And globalisation and the

:40:43.:40:47.

democratisation of communications has encouraged people to look beyond

:40:48.:40:54.

their own communities and immediate networks in the name of joining a

:40:55.:40:59.

broader global community. To say this is not to argue against

:41:00.:41:02.

globalisation, nor the benefits it rings. From modern travel and modern

:41:03.:41:07.

media to new product in our shops and new opportunities for British

:41:08.:41:11.

companies to export their goods to millions of customers all around the

:41:12.:41:17.

world. But, just as we need to act to address the deeply felt sense of

:41:18.:41:20.

economic inequality that has emerged in recent years, so we also need to

:41:21.:41:27.

recognise the way in which more global and individualistic world can

:41:28.:41:33.

sometimes loosen the ties that bind our society together, leaving some

:41:34.:41:37.

people feeling locked out and left behind. I am determined to make sure

:41:38.:41:44.

that centre ground mainstream politics correspondent to the

:41:45.:41:49.

concerns people have today. I am determined to stand up for free

:41:50.:41:56.

markets, free trade and globalisation, but also to show how

:41:57.:42:00.

these forces can work for everyone. And to do so, I turn to the words of

:42:01.:42:06.

the 18th-century force of Edmund Burke, who said: A state without the

:42:07.:42:14.

means of some change is without the means of its own conservation. That

:42:15.:42:21.

great Conservative principle, change in order to conserve, is more

:42:22.:42:24.

important than ever in today's Plex geopolitical environment. And I feel

:42:25.:42:31.

it is of huge relevance to those of us here in Davos this week. And it

:42:32.:42:37.

is the principle that guides me as I leave Britain through this period of

:42:38.:42:44.

change. As we build a new, bold, confident, global Britain and shape

:42:45.:42:47.

a new era of globalisation that genuinely works for all. As we

:42:48.:42:54.

harness the forces of globalisation, so that the system works for

:42:55.:42:58.

everyone, and so maintain public support for that system for

:42:59.:43:04.

generations to come. I want that to be the legacy of our time. To use

:43:05.:43:11.

this moment to provide responsive, responsible leadership that will

:43:12.:43:16.

bring the benefits of free trade to every corner of the world, that will

:43:17.:43:21.

lift millions more out of poverty and towards prosperity, and that

:43:22.:43:26.

will deliver security, prosperity and belonging for all of our people.

:43:27.:43:30.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

:43:31.:43:38.

Theresa May addressing the audience in Davos. Business leaders and trade

:43:39.:43:45.

leaders among them, and the message that there has been a manifesto for

:43:46.:43:48.

change, that she wants to put forward the politics of the

:43:49.:43:52.

mainstream, she says can deliver the change people need. She says that

:43:53.:43:55.

the UK will be stepping up to a new leadership role as the advocate for

:43:56.:43:59.

free trade and global markets because the UK now has a unique

:44:00.:44:05.

position, but she said it is in Britain's national interest that the

:44:06.:44:09.

EU should succeed. Let's get some reaction to that speech.

:44:10.:44:12.

We can go live to Norman Smith in Westminster now.

:44:13.:44:14.

That combination of championing the UK's interests while trying not to

:44:15.:44:21.

alienate partners in Europe? I thought it interesting, because we

:44:22.:44:25.

knew that Theresa May was going to stress how Brexit would lead to a

:44:26.:44:30.

more global, outward looking, confident Britain. What I didn't

:44:31.:44:36.

expect was so much emphasis on the downside of globalisation and, if

:44:37.:44:40.

you like, implicit criticism of many of those in her audience who are, if

:44:41.:44:45.

you like, the international elite, saying in effect that too many

:44:46.:44:48.

bosses of big companies with global reach were not playing by the rules,

:44:49.:44:53.

were not paying their fair taxes, were not taking on board their

:44:54.:44:58.

social responsibility, and were not spreading the benefits of growth and

:44:59.:45:02.

wealth, and that is quite a tough message when you are talking about

:45:03.:45:05.

people sitting there in front of you. And it matters, because she

:45:06.:45:09.

needs those people to be on board for Brexit, bluntly because they

:45:10.:45:14.

have in their hands thousands and thousands of jobs here in Britain,

:45:15.:45:19.

they bring in billions of pounds of investment. These people matter, and

:45:20.:45:25.

Theresa May needs them to be confident about Brexit. And she had

:45:26.:45:30.

a fairly blunt message for them, which is you guys need to shake up

:45:31.:45:36.

the way you operate. You can't carry on as before. Because this is what

:45:37.:45:42.

she called cult of the individual and globalisation, people frankly

:45:43.:45:47.

feel left behind it, it is weakening the bonds of communities. So it was

:45:48.:45:51.

a fairly direct message to the international elite in front of her,

:45:52.:45:54.

that they have got to change their ways. Thank you, Norman.

:45:55.:46:01.

Almost one in 10 secondary schools are under-performing,

:46:02.:46:02.

that's according to Government figures out in the last few minutes.

:46:03.:46:05.

Statistics show that nearly 300 secondaries in England are falling

:46:06.:46:08.

below a new Government target that measures pupils' progress

:46:09.:46:10.

and achievement over eight GCSE subjects.

:46:11.:46:11.

For the first time this year, schools have not been judged

:46:12.:46:14.

on the proportion of pupils scoring at least five C grades at GCSE.

:46:15.:46:17.

Instead, there is a new headline measure called "progress 8."

:46:18.:46:26.

What exactly has changed? For many years, schools were judged on how

:46:27.:46:37.

may people got five GCSEs, including Maths and English, at Grade A* to C.

:46:38.:46:42.

Now, in England, there are two new measures: Progress eight and

:46:43.:46:49.

Attainment eight. So what does this mean? Progress eight is how far a

:46:50.:46:52.

child has progressed from the end of primary school to their GCSEs. It

:46:53.:46:54.

shows whether a student has performed to expectation. And

:46:55.:46:58.

Attainment eight is the results from a pupil's best eight GCSEs including

:46:59.:47:09.

Maths and English So why is this happening now? It's argued that five

:47:10.:47:12.

GCSEs was too narrow a measure to judge how well schools were doing.

:47:13.:47:14.

So it's thought to be fairer to see a pupil's best achievement across a

:47:15.:47:17.

broader spectrum of subjects. But not everybody is happy. Critics have

:47:18.:47:19.

argued that the new system is too complicated for parents and children

:47:20.:47:22.

to understand. Let's talk now to our education correspondent Gillian

:47:23.:47:26.

Hargreaves. Before we talk more about the results just out, first of

:47:27.:47:30.

all, is there much controversy over this system? Schools and head

:47:31.:47:34.

teachers have long argued that a raw score of how well your pupils have

:47:35.:47:40.

done in their GCSEs was not sophisticated enough, there is a

:47:41.:47:45.

school and -- School in Stoke-on-Trent that was told that it

:47:46.:47:49.

required improvement, it is not at the standard that the government

:47:50.:47:52.

says it should be. This morning, on its website, it shows

:47:53.:48:07.

that it's Progress eight score is+0.25 and that will show parents

:48:08.:48:11.

that it is above average and the progress made from the age of 11 to

:48:12.:48:16.

16 is above average, doing very well. That is the sort of example I

:48:17.:48:20.

think of what we are now going to see, a more sophisticated tool. The

:48:21.:48:25.

union state this is great but they say it should not be the only tool

:48:26.:48:28.

with which parents judge a school, they need to look in the round at

:48:29.:48:31.

the curriculum, whether it is the right place for their child. Might

:48:32.:48:35.

be too soon for there to have been a wider evaluation for the new figures

:48:36.:48:39.

to indicate whether there are many more schools like this, which have

:48:40.:48:42.

shifted their place on the tables? 282 schools have not

:48:43.:49:02.

met the minimum level. That is a lower number than last year, it

:49:03.:49:06.

would be comparing apples and pears. Schools are getting better, but it

:49:07.:49:12.

is a bit early yet to see which ones may have done well in the past and

:49:13.:49:20.

are now plummeting. If you start with pupils who are getting good

:49:21.:49:24.

attainment and then they get it, where does that get you? Schools, if

:49:25.:49:29.

they have always had high colour calibre pupils in the past, what

:49:30.:49:33.

they have not been doing is comparing themselves to other

:49:34.:49:37.

schools with very able pupils. -- high calibre pupils. What progress

:49:38.:49:43.

children make is being measured here, comparing children of similar

:49:44.:49:47.

abilities across England. So, yes, if a school in the past has always

:49:48.:49:53.

had very able pupils, it cannot rest on its laurels, because it will be

:49:54.:49:56.

exposed by the new measure. Now we can speak with a month of four,

:49:57.:50:00.

these kids will be affected by the new measures. -- mum of four. And

:50:01.:50:13.

Alison Critchley, Chief Executive of RSA Academies which has seven

:50:14.:50:15.

schools in the West Midland, who also has three daughters at

:50:16.:50:17.

secondary school. You have the raft of schools and the authority, do you

:50:18.:50:19.

know how Have any schools in your area

:50:20.:50:23.

shifted position? Yes, as Gillian has described, addicted elite

:50:24.:50:28.

schools that have served communities with people red children who have

:50:29.:50:31.

come in struggling, the progress that the children make in those

:50:32.:50:35.

schools is really recognised by this new measure, because it judges

:50:36.:50:38.

progress made rather than purely results they get at the end. And

:50:39.:50:42.

also, where schools are stretching the more able, that performance is

:50:43.:50:50.

rewarded. It has definitely made a difference to where schools are

:50:51.:50:55.

appearing on and acknowledging... Can you give us some specific

:50:56.:50:58.

examples, has there been a dramatic shift? Yes, so, with one of our

:50:59.:51:04.

schools, always around the average in terms of the proportion of

:51:05.:51:10.

children getting five GCSEs at ATC grade, I have not checked on the

:51:11.:51:12.

finalised version but it is now something like +0.4. Just above

:51:13.:51:26.

average? -- A-C grade. If you were at +0.5 then it would mean that you

:51:27.:51:30.

are getting one great above what you expect in four of your GCSEs, it is

:51:31.:51:36.

about a grade in half of the GCSEs higher, it is a difficult message to

:51:37.:51:40.

understand, that is the difficulty in explaining what zero point for

:51:41.:51:44.

actually means. You have four children, do you understand it? I

:51:45.:51:49.

have been given the low down by my eldest daughter, doing their GCSEs

:51:50.:51:52.

this year, she will be in the first batch to do a harder exam, I kind of

:51:53.:51:57.

understand where this is coming from and I understand the league table

:51:58.:52:01.

ranking a little bit better than most parents. Yes, I think in a way

:52:02.:52:08.

it is great, it allows better students to perform and show off

:52:09.:52:15.

their academic capabilities. You have four... So you will be looking

:52:16.:52:20.

at a new school for your child who is in year six, will this change the

:52:21.:52:25.

way that you pick a school? To be honest, no, I look at the whole

:52:26.:52:30.

thing, not just results, but the environment, the teachers, does it

:52:31.:52:38.

look happy and school, and the curriculum itself. -- does the

:52:39.:52:45.

school look happy. You think it is a good new system. Any potential

:52:46.:52:54.

snags? Certainly an improvement on the five A-C measure because it

:52:55.:52:59.

reflects progress, if you are trying to reduce everything a school does

:53:00.:53:05.

down to one number, and rank them from top to bottom, there is no

:53:06.:53:13.

measure that would show that. Making a decision about a school, you need

:53:14.:53:17.

to visit. The other risk and potential downside about it is how

:53:18.:53:23.

schools respond to the measure, awful lot of pressure on schools, on

:53:24.:53:29.

heads, on governors, to get the best they can, and part of it is about

:53:30.:53:38.

the GCSEs that children take. As well as having to do English and

:53:39.:53:42.

maths, the children how to do three more subjects from the back

:53:43.:53:47.

subjects, and so schools are being encouraged to put children in for

:53:48.:53:49.

geography and sciences and modern foreign languages. -- eBacc. That

:53:50.:53:53.

would suit lots of children, but for others, more vocational offers,

:53:54.:53:59.

perhaps a better option, so look at the curriculum, so that you can get

:54:00.:54:08.

them test Progress eight score. -- so you can get the best Progress

:54:09.:54:14.

eight score. There is obviously a natural level of ability, how much

:54:15.:54:17.

can that be affected, depending upon which school pupil goes to? It can

:54:18.:54:25.

make a significant difference, the other risk of the measure, a lot of

:54:26.:54:34.

schools are between +0.5 and -0.5 and there is a risk of over

:54:35.:54:37.

interpreting what that might mean, it might be a set of subjects that

:54:38.:54:42.

children have put in for, rather than the quality of the teaching.

:54:43.:54:51.

You have a 14-year-old son at school doing GCSEs next year, have you had

:54:52.:54:55.

a chance to check out where the school is now on the latest league

:54:56.:55:01.

tables with this new criteria? Yes, I have, he's not taking the next

:55:02.:55:05.

year, he has another few years before taking them, and so we have

:55:06.:55:11.

at the talks, and we know exactly what is going on. How is the school

:55:12.:55:16.

doing, has it changed its position on the league table? Not that I am

:55:17.:55:22.

aware of, no. What you think about it, do you think it is a better

:55:23.:55:35.

system? It is difficult to say. Less able, will not be able to take the

:55:36.:55:38.

different levels because we have foundation levels, higher levels,

:55:39.:55:44.

but soon, that is going to be taken away and all children will be doing

:55:45.:55:53.

the same ability and the same tests. It is going to be harder for the

:55:54.:55:56.

children that are struggling. What you think about that, will it make a

:55:57.:56:03.

difference? Is potentially good, if schools respond by narrowing the

:56:04.:56:08.

curriculum that they offer, I think the combination of the new measure

:56:09.:56:12.

with the budget pressures that many schools are facing means they have

:56:13.:56:15.

to look carefully at the range of options that they offer for 15 and

:56:16.:56:21.

16-year-olds, if they only have a small group doing art, drama, a

:56:22.:56:24.

vocational option, they may decide they are unable to offer that and

:56:25.:56:28.

then children are pushed into a different set of options, which may

:56:29.:56:32.

be less good for their ability. Less suitable. Thank you all very much.

:56:33.:56:38.

Donald Trump is preparing to be sworn in as the 45th US president.

:56:55.:56:57.

He has said he expects record crowds at his inauguration.

:56:58.:57:00.

We will be hearing from a key member of his transition team,

:57:01.:57:03.

the man tipped to be the new US ambassador to the EU,

:57:04.:57:06.

Chilly start of the day across southern areas but not everywhere,

:57:07.:57:21.

in Farnborough and Hampshire, -- in Hampshire, -6, now it is -3, in

:57:22.:57:26.

Reading, -3 as well, and that is where we have some clear skies. Not

:57:27.:57:35.

all of us have clear skies, this is quite a murky scene taken earlier in

:57:36.:57:38.

Derbyshire, we have a weather front dangled across parts of the UK,

:57:39.:57:44.

fairly weak but what it has been producing is a fair bit of cloud and

:57:45.:57:48.

a little bit of drizzle and patchy rain. Looking to the north, clear

:57:49.:57:54.

skies, -3, some sunshine. And also some sunshine across southern areas

:57:55.:57:58.

and again, cold feel, but beautiful here, Fife. Through the morning,

:57:59.:58:07.

hanging onto the sunshine, still cold at the moment, still some

:58:08.:58:15.

little pockets of mist, particularly around Bristol, could be slow in

:58:16.:58:19.

clearing, most of the mist and fog we have had has lifted, cloud

:58:20.:58:23.

further north, into the afternoon, you can see in the south-west,

:58:24.:58:29.

hanging onto the sunshine, we could import more cloud from the North Sea

:58:30.:58:33.

through the afternoon, it will still be a beautiful day but a cold one,

:58:34.:58:38.

six is the maximum in London. Moving north, damp note, fizzling through

:58:39.:58:44.

the day, pushing further north, a lot of clout, in the north-east,

:58:45.:58:47.

hanging onto the sunshine, a few showers at times. Cloudy start,

:58:48.:58:56.

remaining cloudy, we could see some breaks in the hills, south Wales at

:58:57.:59:00.

the moment, some sunshine, we should see some across West Wales,

:59:01.:59:04.

generally, for Wales, cloudy picture. Through the evening and

:59:05.:59:09.

overnight, it is going to be cold, some frost, some patchy mist and

:59:10.:59:12.

fog, and the cloud breaking further north. Still broken across the

:59:13.:59:22.

north-east, so it will be cold. For the rest of the UK, not anticipating

:59:23.:59:27.

any problems with frost at all. Tomorrow, losing mist and fog,

:59:28.:59:31.

sunshine across southern areas, extending into Wales. Still have a

:59:32.:59:37.

weak front, still producing the odd spot of drizzle, or light rain, but

:59:38.:59:42.

you can see how the cloud has eroded through the day. -- you can see how

:59:43.:59:46.

the cloud has eroded. Tomorrow, a bit more of it across the northern

:59:47.:59:51.

and western parts, and Northern Ireland, better chance tomorrow of

:59:52.:59:54.

seeing more in the way of breaks. Temperature wise, coming down in the

Today's top story - many people are missing

:00:20.:00:28.

after an avalanche buried a hotel used by skiers in central Italy.

:00:29.:00:29.

There are believed to be up to 30 people, seven staff, and the rest

:00:30.:00:32.

were guests on this hotel when the earthquake and then the avalanche

:00:33.:00:36.

hit. We will bring you the latest from there in just a moment. Also,

:00:37.:00:40.

Donald Trump comes President of the United States tomorrow. We speak to

:00:41.:00:45.

the man tipped to be his ambassador to the EU about the challenges

:00:46.:00:51.

ahead. And is there a dirty truth behind clean eating? Ahead of

:00:52.:00:54.

tonight's BBC programme that questions the advice of healthy

:00:55.:00:58.

eating gurus you tell us to eat clean and avoid processed food. We

:00:59.:01:02.

meet the Cambridge scientist taking on the food fad advocates.

:01:03.:01:19.

Let's catch up with all the news with Annita in the newsroom.

:01:20.:01:32.

A series of powerful earthquakes hit and Treacher yesterday. The latest

:01:33.:01:48.

we are seeing is from the head of Italy's civil protection department

:01:49.:01:51.

praising the rescuers who he says struggled through the snow to reach

:01:52.:01:59.

the hotel. Saying it was a very complicated operation reached by

:02:00.:02:04.

courageous men who faced unbearable conditions.

:02:05.:02:13.

Let's speak to Jiovanni Grezzi from the Agence

:02:14.:02:15.

He's in the Amatrice region, about 50 kilometers from where

:02:16.:02:20.

What is the latest you have on the fate of the people in the hotel? The

:02:21.:02:28.

latest news we have other moment is that there should be a at least 20

:02:29.:02:37.

dead, because people inside were trapped under the avalanche from

:02:38.:02:40.

last night, and they have spent all night under snow, so everyone's via

:02:41.:02:46.

is that there are at least 20 dead people. But somewhere I hearing have

:02:47.:02:52.

been rescued from the hotel. There were two people who had gone outside

:02:53.:03:02.

to their cars, so they were not stuck under the rubble from the

:03:03.:03:13.

hotel, so one person, his family, children are trapped inside under

:03:14.:03:18.

the avalanche. The situation is very difficult, we have one dead body,

:03:19.:03:27.

but we fear the worst. Do people think that the earthquakes in the

:03:28.:03:30.

region yesterday caused this avalanche? Of course, the reports

:03:31.:03:37.

are that the earthquake, the earth moving, caused the avalanche,

:03:38.:03:40.

because they were very strong here. It is not very far from the

:03:41.:03:47.

epicentre of the earthquake, just out side Amatrice. Thank you very

:03:48.:03:52.

much. Theresa May has told the World

:03:53.:04:09.

Economic Forum that the UK will be open for business from Brexiteer

:04:10.:04:11.

ready to embrace the world. It's her first visit

:04:12.:04:19.

to Davos as Prime Minister. The Prime Minister also called

:04:20.:04:21.

for businesses to do more to help those who feel "locked out and left

:04:22.:04:24.

behind". It means Britain must go through a

:04:25.:04:27.

tough negotiation and forge a new role for ourselves in the world. It

:04:28.:04:30.

means accepting that the road ahead will be uncertain at times, but

:04:31.:04:32.

believing that it leads towards a brighter future for our country's

:04:33.:04:39.

children and grandchildren, too. Reports from Iran say a number of

:04:40.:04:43.

firefighters have been killed after a fire caused a high building in the

:04:44.:04:49.

capital Tehran to collapse. People are reported to be trapped under the

:04:50.:04:52.

debris of the building which host a shopping centre. State TV showed the

:04:53.:04:55.

moment when the building came down. There are reports of troops

:04:56.:05:01.

from Senegal entering Gambia, as the political

:05:02.:05:03.

crisis there escalates. The defeated President Yayha Jammeh

:05:04.:05:05.

has ignored a midnight deadline to give way to the winner of last

:05:06.:05:07.

month's election, Adama Barrow. West African military forces have

:05:08.:05:10.

been preparing to move in to enforce 1,000 British holiday-makers have

:05:11.:05:13.

returned home from Gambia with the Foreign Office advising

:05:14.:05:18.

against all but essential And that's a summary of the news.

:05:19.:05:40.

Thank you very much, Annita. Is the British press biased against

:05:41.:05:43.

Muslims? One man believes that's the impression it gives, and has made it

:05:44.:05:47.

his job to put it right. We have a special report on that. Now let's

:05:48.:05:51.

catch up on the sport with you. A huge shock at the

:05:52.:05:53.

Australian open this morning, defending champion

:05:54.:05:54.

He was beaten in five sets by the wild card

:05:55.:06:01.

and world number 117, Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan.

:06:02.:06:03.

Istomin took the first set, but Djokovic won the next two.

:06:04.:06:09.

It looked like it would have been a victory for him.

:06:10.:06:14.

Istomin then took the fourth in a tiebreak to level

:06:15.:06:17.

the match, going on to win the deciding set 6-4.

:06:18.:06:19.

It took 4 hours and 48 minutes, but Istomin

:06:20.:06:21.

And surely the biggest winner here is Andy Murray,

:06:22.:06:27.

who's looking to win his first title in Melbourne.

:06:28.:06:29.

His biggest challenger already out in the second round.

:06:30.:06:33.

Joanna Konta eased to victory over naming Asarco, but bad news for

:06:34.:06:51.

Heather Watson and Kyle Edmund, who went out. I looked to impose myself

:06:52.:06:56.

on the match early, and I knew that if I was going to give her any

:06:57.:07:00.

breathing room or any opportunity that she was just going to become

:07:01.:07:03.

more and more dangerous, so I did try my best not to let that happen,

:07:04.:07:08.

and after getting that break in the first set, I felt I did a good job

:07:09.:07:11.

and also running with the momentum of it, and that also helped.

:07:12.:07:17.

Liverpool, Southampton and Newcastle all through to the fourth round of

:07:18.:07:25.

the FA Cup. Lucas Leiva scored the only goal the Liverpool, his first

:07:26.:07:30.

for the club in seven years. They beat Plymouth Albion and will face

:07:31.:07:36.

Wolves at Anfield in the next round. Two, three, four to zero would have

:07:37.:07:45.

been OK. We just wanted to get the next round, no penalty shoot,

:07:46.:07:51.

leaving Plymouth, as nice as it is here, as early as possible, because

:07:52.:07:57.

the next game is waiting. All good. Manchester United have become the

:07:58.:07:59.

richest club in football once again for the first time in 11 years. They

:08:00.:08:04.

go ahead of European champions Real Madrid and the third richest club

:08:05.:08:09.

Barcelona after record revenues of ?515 million last season. Eight

:08:10.:08:14.

Premier League clubs are in the top 20 of the football money list,

:08:15.:08:18.

including Premier League champions Leicester City for the first time.

:08:19.:08:23.

England's Chris Woakes is taking three wickets as they made a great

:08:24.:08:26.

start to the second one-day international against India. He took

:08:27.:08:32.

the early wickets of Raul, Virat Kohli and da one. India were 25-3,

:08:33.:08:42.

but Yuvraj Singh has helped steady things and is currently an 81, with

:08:43.:08:48.

India 156-3 after 29 of their 50 overs as England try to level the

:08:49.:08:55.

series. More sport later in the hour, Joanna. Thank you.

:08:56.:09:05.

President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office tomorrow and it's

:09:06.:09:08.

thought about 900,000 people are expected to gather in Washington

:09:09.:09:10.

But his supporters are already on their way

:09:11.:09:14.

as events kick off today - there will be a wreath laying

:09:15.:09:16.

at Arlington National Cemetery to honour military veterans.

:09:17.:09:18.

And also a concert later tonight - with both Donald Trump and his

:09:19.:09:21.

Inauguration day tomorrow is full of tradition and ceremony

:09:22.:09:25.

Let's talk now to Professor Ted Malloch -

:09:26.:09:37.

a key adviser to Donald Trump during his election

:09:38.:09:39.

and the man tipped to be his ambassador to the EU.

:09:40.:09:40.

You have been talking to government advisers here at Downing Street.

:09:41.:09:45.

Have you told them to read Donald Trump's book if you want under Stan

:09:46.:09:48.

the Man? You must have had somebody in the room if you heard that! I

:09:49.:09:53.

think it is the best way to understand Donald Trump, because he

:09:54.:09:56.

is a transactional figure who really thinks in those terms. So explain a

:09:57.:10:02.

bit more about what it is that they need to understand when they are

:10:03.:10:09.

dealing with him? He views the world is a set of deals, as transactions,

:10:10.:10:16.

and he positions himself. He is really a fantastic negotiator, so if

:10:17.:10:19.

you are going to be across the table from him, or trying to bargain with

:10:20.:10:24.

him, it is very helpful to know his mind on how he approaches a subject.

:10:25.:10:29.

One of the lines of advice in the book is, the worst thing you could

:10:30.:10:32.

possibly do in a deal is seen desperate to make it. That makes the

:10:33.:10:36.

other guy smell blood and then you are dead. Was Theresa May's line

:10:37.:10:43.

when she said about the EU/ UK deal, no deal is better than a bad one, is

:10:44.:10:49.

that straight out of Donald Trump's playbook? Maybe she's reading it

:10:50.:10:54.

already in preparation for the summit! I thought her speech was

:10:55.:10:58.

brilliant, her finest hour, and it seems like she is saying the same

:10:59.:11:02.

thing at Davos. How do you think she's playing her hand? I think she

:11:03.:11:07.

is playing it very strong, and this kind of clean Brexit that is harder

:11:08.:11:12.

than some people expected is very forceful. The possibility for

:11:13.:11:17.

Britain to be a global Britain, which was suggested in her speech, I

:11:18.:11:25.

think it is a brilliant strategy. It is the best card that Britain has to

:11:26.:11:30.

play, and it's best partner will be the United States. So tell us more

:11:31.:11:34.

about that, because the UK is not allowed to formally begin trade

:11:35.:11:38.

negotiations until it has actually left the EU, which would be two

:11:39.:11:43.

years after Article 50 is triggered, but you think there is a way around

:11:44.:11:47.

that, and that potentially, you said a deal could be struck in 90 days

:11:48.:11:52.

through informal discussions? I think that is possible. We're

:11:53.:11:56.

talking about informal discussions, something that is off the record,

:11:57.:12:00.

that is private, and the preparatory work is done, so to then have a

:12:01.:12:05.

formal statement when the time allows it, this is the way diplomacy

:12:06.:12:14.

works. Lawyers don't run the world. 90 days, some people are saying it

:12:15.:12:19.

can take up to ten years for trade deals. How could you be so sure 90

:12:20.:12:25.

days would do it? It has been suggested by some people close to

:12:26.:12:31.

both sides that if it was really desired, and you put the right

:12:32.:12:35.

people together, and you use some existing frameworks, you could have

:12:36.:12:39.

a minimalist agreement within 90 days and build on it from there. The

:12:40.:12:43.

largest mergers and acquisitions in the world take less than 90 days.

:12:44.:12:52.

You have described Arnold Trump in the context of the negotiations

:12:53.:12:55.

between the US and the UK on a deal is being a white knight coming to

:12:56.:13:01.

help a damsel in distress. It is sounded like the United States is

:13:02.:13:05.

looking very benignly on the UK right now. Why would that be? It

:13:06.:13:13.

would be because the US/ UK special relationship is a part of our

:13:14.:13:16.

history as it is a part of your history. I can tell you first hand

:13:17.:13:21.

Winston Churchill would be going back into the Oval Office in the

:13:22.:13:27.

form of his bust, and that solid relationship is important to the

:13:28.:13:33.

global economy, it is important to the transatlantic alliance, and it

:13:34.:13:38.

is also the case that Donald Trump has origins in the United Kingdom.

:13:39.:13:43.

He is very well disposed towards a relationship with the

:13:44.:13:48.

English-speaking people. We are talking about a man who is coming

:13:49.:13:54.

into office vowing to make America great again, who as we said in his

:13:55.:13:58.

book on business, he makes very clear that it is all about the art

:13:59.:14:01.

of the deal. What is in it for America? It is sounding like it is

:14:02.:14:07.

all about what is in Britain's best interests right now. What is the

:14:08.:14:11.

wider context? Is there something to be said for if there are strong

:14:12.:14:16.

messages going out to the UK that actually looking to other countries

:14:17.:14:19.

for good trade deals out of the EU, that sends strong signals to other

:14:20.:14:27.

countries in the EU right now. It does, and it is a message in the

:14:28.:14:30.

sense that it speaks volumes to other countries, but I think it is

:14:31.:14:37.

also the case in any negotiation, trade negotiation, there is a kind

:14:38.:14:43.

of reciprocal agreement, so it is not like the US is going to offer

:14:44.:14:47.

Britain a free deal. There will be a exchange. The US having access to

:14:48.:14:56.

the British economy is significant, the passing of financial services

:14:57.:14:59.

between the two markets is significant. The relationship on

:15:00.:15:03.

defence issues has always been important, on intelligence. So I

:15:04.:15:07.

think these things will be beefed up in this new era of the special

:15:08.:15:13.

relationship. In the context of you being the frontrunner to be the new

:15:14.:15:17.

EU Ambassador, that message coming from the United States shake things

:15:18.:15:21.

up a bit, doesn't it? Imported European countries, the key members

:15:22.:15:25.

of the European Union, going to elections, the message that they may

:15:26.:15:31.

be better off outside the constraints of EU trade. These other

:15:32.:15:37.

things that European countries themselves to decide. The United

:15:38.:15:41.

States certainly did not pressure, quite the opposite, the British

:15:42.:15:46.

people to vote for Brexit, if I recall President Obama was wrought

:15:47.:15:50.

over to tell them to get an order in four remain. So the US under Donald

:15:51.:15:57.

Trump will be a very different order, and in his interview with

:15:58.:16:06.

Michael Gove in Bild magazine that was released suggested this in stark

:16:07.:16:09.

terms. I keep saying you are the frontrunner to be the US ambassador

:16:10.:16:14.

to the EU, I think all the existing ambassadors are out of post on

:16:15.:16:17.

Friday. Would you expect to be told then, before, whether you are in or

:16:18.:16:19.

out? These are political appointments,

:16:20.:16:25.

and I think that, certainly in the coming weeks, all those

:16:26.:16:30.

announcements will be made. And indeed, all the cabinet, as of this

:16:31.:16:36.

morning, is in place. Donald Trump announces agriculture Secretary this

:16:37.:16:40.

morning, and so now we will get onto the next of appointment. Let's talk

:16:41.:16:50.

now to Benjamin Marchi and Tim Young - two Republican voters who are

:16:51.:16:52.

heading to the inauguration celebrations later today.

:16:53.:17:03.

On the eve of this inauguration, we are looking now to a president about

:17:04.:17:10.

him a lot is known, about whom it is thought that things are known, and

:17:11.:17:15.

much is feared, how do you see him? I don't think he's that feared, you

:17:16.:17:19.

know, it is interesting because a lot of the media has spun it that he

:17:20.:17:26.

is more feared... It is the coasts where the media is, media from Los

:17:27.:17:30.

Angeles and New York are a little more worried about what is going to

:17:31.:17:33.

do than people in the flyover states. Although they are not the

:17:34.:17:45.

popular vote, they represent a majority of the country. How do you

:17:46.:17:48.

feel about America's place in the world? I am ecstatic about our place

:17:49.:17:54.

in the world right now, right now, for a change, I think Donald Trump

:17:55.:18:00.

is going to give us a posture wholly different from the last eight years,

:18:01.:18:06.

one which will be more respected and appreciated throughout the world. We

:18:07.:18:17.

will not be drawing unintentional red lines. More divisive? It will

:18:18.:18:22.

not be that divisive, there will be naysayers out there. There will be

:18:23.:18:26.

naysayers who nit-pick and pull apart things that he says, art at

:18:27.:18:32.

the end of the day, we are excited about him truly making America great

:18:33.:18:39.

again and the team news putting together continues to give people

:18:40.:18:42.

that I talk to on irregularly 's is a lot of confidence in his ability

:18:43.:18:54.

to lead the free world. What do you think will happen, will he hit the

:18:55.:18:58.

ground running? That is what I have been told from insiders as well,

:18:59.:19:03.

complete 180, it is interesting, the symbolism, the term of the unknown

:19:04.:19:08.

soldier is where the wreath will be laid, there is always a changing of

:19:09.:19:11.

the guard, this is a significant changing of the guard, all the

:19:12.:19:15.

policies, almost unanimously, all of his policies, Barack Obama's

:19:16.:19:20.

policies, will be flipped with the new changing of the guard under

:19:21.:19:25.

Donald Trump. You are both heading off to the celebrations today, ahead

:19:26.:19:27.

of the inauguration tomorrow. the Finnish pop star Saara Aalto

:19:28.:19:33.

who came second in The X Factor has already signed a record

:19:34.:19:41.

deal with Sony. We will speak to Saara

:19:42.:19:43.

in her first interview of 2017. We've forgiven the avocado

:19:44.:19:52.

for its high fat content and deemed We're swapping full fat

:19:53.:19:56.

lattes for sugar-free, and using gadgets to swirl

:19:57.:20:01.

courgettes into a gluten-free But can the food we eat

:20:02.:20:06.

really "clean" our bodies Cambridge University scientist

:20:07.:20:11.

Dr Giles Yo In a moment, we'll talk to Dr Yo,

:20:12.:20:19.

and also to the founder of a healthy food festival and a woman who says

:20:20.:20:24.

she was so obsessed by clean eating But first, let's watch part

:20:25.:20:28.

of Dr Yo's programme, where he goes on a journey

:20:29.:20:31.

to America and sees the extreme side of the lifestyle

:20:32.:20:34.

at a Californian ranch, where cancer patients are being

:20:35.:20:36.

treated with alkaline food. VOICEOVER: Up ahead, the pH miracle

:20:37.:20:50.

branch. -- ranch. A millionaire 's paradise, funded by alkaline eating.

:20:51.:20:55.

He has a moat, he has a moat here. I don't see any alligators coming to

:20:56.:21:03.

eat me, Robert?

:21:04.:21:05.

Hello, yes. Hello, I'm Giles.

:21:06.:21:10.

Dr Giles! Very pleased to meet you.

:21:11.:21:11.

Is this where miracles happen, this is your miracle ranch?

:21:12.:21:17.

I want to know how Robert thinks we can use food to stay well.

:21:18.:21:22.

Are you familiar with the fishbowl metaphor?

:21:23.:21:28.

OK, the fishbowl metaphor begs a question, and the question is,

:21:29.:21:32.

if the fish is sick, what would you do?

:21:33.:21:37.

Treat the fish or change the water? I'd change the water, right?

:21:38.:21:40.

he means eat alkaline food to stop ourselves becoming acidic.

:21:41.:21:45.

The human body, in its perfect state of health,

:21:46.:21:47.

Robert invites me to share in his daily alkaline routine.

:21:48.:21:58.

My brain needs to prepare... I'll join you.

:21:59.:22:09.

Tastes like green tea. It tastes like cold green tea.

:22:10.:22:26.

STUDIO: Social media has seen the clean eating

:22:27.:22:28.

But it's not all good news, nutritionists have reported the rise

:22:29.:22:31.

of a psychological condition known as orthorexia,

:22:32.:22:33.

Dr Yeo cooks with one of Instagram's biggest health bloggers,

:22:34.:22:37.

Deliciously Ella, who promotes a plant-based diet.

:22:38.:22:38.

She's one of the most popular brands associated

:22:39.:22:41.

and he examines how far her plant-based cooking

:22:42.:22:46.

She tells him the idea of "clean" has lost its way.

:22:47.:22:52.

The gurus of clean are doing nothing wrong in helping people eat more

:22:53.:22:59.

healthily but with their growing influence comes a

:23:00.:23:01.

responsibility to ground their promises improved. Now, one of the

:23:02.:23:06.

most influential figures on the movement says it has lost its way.

:23:07.:23:11.

My problem with the word clean is that it has become too complicated,

:23:12.:23:16.

loaded, now bit implies dirty, that is negative, we should not have

:23:17.:23:20.

that. I think it is sad to me that clean has been taken so far out of

:23:21.:23:25.

how it was originally meant to be used by people, as far as I

:23:26.:23:31.

understood it, it meant natural, unprocessed, now it doesn't mean

:23:32.:23:33.

that, it means diet, it means fad. Let's talk more about it. Dr Giles

:23:34.:23:47.

Yeo from the University of Cambridge went on this journey to investigate

:23:48.:23:52.

clean eating. Rose Lloyd Owen runs a healthy eating food and yoga

:23:53.:23:57.

festival featuring Deliciously Ella and many of the top clean-eating

:23:58.:24:03.

bloggers. And also joining us, Kerry Armstrong, who says she was so

:24:04.:24:06.

obsessed by clean eating that became dangerously ill and believed certain

:24:07.:24:08.

food was 'unclean. Until I became physically unwell, I have never

:24:09.:24:11.

thought anything about type, if you look at a search engine, how do you

:24:12.:24:16.

get better, I began researching it, and I thought I had been poisoning

:24:17.:24:20.

myself, I took it to Olympic standards, I went from eating any to

:24:21.:24:24.

within 18 months weighing six stone, and only eating watermelon. I took

:24:25.:24:31.

it as extreme as you can get it, my teeth were crumbling, hair falling

:24:32.:24:34.

out, never left the house, completely fixated with the idea of

:24:35.:24:40.

cleaning myself to get well again. This is a concept that you have

:24:41.:24:43.

looked at for your programme... That is an extreme example, but having

:24:44.:24:48.

looked closely at it, what is your assessment on whether food can make

:24:49.:24:53.

you ill, can make you well? It depends, as with everything, it's

:24:54.:24:57.

depends, for example, if we start with what I agree with, in terms of

:24:58.:25:02.

when I look at the food, undoubtedly, we have a broken food

:25:03.:25:06.

environment we need to fix, a lot of the diseases we have are not diet

:25:07.:25:14.

related, we have got to fix obesity, we have got to fix the food

:25:15.:25:17.

environment we are in, that is why I went on the journey. The problem is,

:25:18.:25:24.

if you take what I think without control verse is a healthy diet, eat

:25:25.:25:30.

more eat less meat, but then wrap it around pseudoscience to say that it

:25:31.:25:33.

can suddenly cure you, it can cure you of cancer, any number of other

:25:34.:25:39.

ailments, then I have a problem. The phrase that is being used now is

:25:40.:25:50.

orthorexia, the of session with clean eating, how money people are

:25:51.:25:53.

susceptible to it becoming a disorder? It is almost like a

:25:54.:25:58.

variant of anorexia, orthorexia, where you have a controlled

:25:59.:26:05.

psychosis in order to keep control of your life. -- control psychosis.

:26:06.:26:11.

It is tied up in social media, the clean phenomenon, a lot of the food

:26:12.:26:15.

gurus that are out there reach millions of followers, what happens

:26:16.:26:19.

is, while the vast majority of those millions of followers will treat it

:26:20.:26:24.

as it is, that looks like a pretty plate of food, I'm going to have

:26:25.:26:28.

that, but you will have a percentage of human beings... Completely

:26:29.:26:33.

randomly, what I did was I joined Instagram, for the show, I did this

:26:34.:26:37.

and that, and I posted a picture of my breakfast, a sausage and egg and

:26:38.:26:44.

muffin, and a cup of tea. I lost 10% of my followers in 24 hours, because

:26:45.:26:50.

of the people who were following me. Couldn't bear to look at a sausage.

:26:51.:26:58.

I was funny, I documented it, but imagine you are susceptible, imagine

:26:59.:27:04.

that this is my life, I have worked hard for this plate of food but for

:27:05.:27:07.

some reason, a percentage of people don't want it, and they are banned

:27:08.:27:12.

in you, that is where the problem begins, those people feel bad. Rose,

:27:13.:27:19.

you have said that you are a founder of a healthy eating festival, can

:27:20.:27:23.

you believe that people cannot bear to look at a picture of a sausage?

:27:24.:27:35.

That is a little crazy, we have a festival in a couple of weeks, and

:27:36.:27:41.

the ethos we have there is to bring in all sorts of different eating,

:27:42.:27:45.

all sorts of different ways of eating, and celebrate everybody,

:27:46.:27:53.

everybody... Does it celebrate eating a sausage, eating a packet of

:27:54.:27:59.

biscuits, if you feel like it, it is not something you should do all the

:28:00.:28:05.

time, but... Absolutely... This is about extremes. Nobody is saying it

:28:06.:28:10.

should be extreme, nobody is saying it should be all or nothing, but

:28:11.:28:14.

this is where the problem is, none of these guys are saying, you must

:28:15.:28:19.

do this, you should do this 100% of the time, very much advocate a

:28:20.:28:25.

70/30, spaghetti is not going to kill you but how about making it out

:28:26.:28:30.

of celeriac, courgette, because essentially, you are getting more

:28:31.:28:33.

vegetables into your diet, and that is better for you. There will be

:28:34.:28:37.

people who interpret that as, therefore, there is this lovely

:28:38.:28:40.

healthy option which looks beautiful in Instagram, eating the pasta is

:28:41.:28:52.

bad. And like anything, with anything, that becomes big, there

:28:53.:28:56.

will be people who take it too literally and take the wrong message

:28:57.:29:00.

and I think no one is giving that message out, simply trying to find

:29:01.:29:04.

more interesting and delicious ways of cooking vegetables. You have

:29:05.:29:10.

talked about how you initially started wanting to make yourself

:29:11.:29:14.

feel better, and it went down a very extreme path, when you were... Tell

:29:15.:29:18.

us about the images you were seeing... The messages that you were

:29:19.:29:23.

taking on board from the environment around you. To be honest, pet, we

:29:24.:29:29.

could go on all day about why it is social and media's full, or my

:29:30.:29:38.

friend, what I am not taking responsibility, I forgot, plain and

:29:39.:29:41.

simple, it is not what goes into my mouth that makes me worthwhile as a

:29:42.:29:46.

person, it is what comes out of it. I elevated food to a place it does

:29:47.:29:50.

not belong, it is not my salvation. I was spiritually bankrupt, I was

:29:51.:29:55.

looking for mindfulness within my plate, you do not get spiritual

:29:56.:29:58.

well-being from what you eat, it is how you live and contribute, and I

:29:59.:30:04.

had walked that, taken that out of perspective. -- warped that. To make

:30:05.:30:09.

myself well, I had to leave food alone, have it be in experience,

:30:10.:30:13.

because foods does not love you back but people can. That is how I got

:30:14.:30:18.

well. It has nothing to do with healthy eating. Food elevated to a

:30:19.:30:23.

place it does not belong... It is a good phrase, how much you think that

:30:24.:30:29.

is happening? Food keeps us alive, it ought to be elevated to... We put

:30:30.:30:36.

it in us, it makes us who we are. I definitely agree that we should

:30:37.:30:39.

respect the food that we eat but respecting the food that we eat, or

:30:40.:30:43.

pasting something on there that does not actually do... That is where I

:30:44.:30:50.

think issues begin to happen. One thing of what you said:

:30:51.:30:59.

Saying that I can't blame other be bought for it, but the problem is

:31:00.:31:05.

you are still living within a particular environment that foisted

:31:06.:31:08.

that upon you. But that isn't me taking responsibility. I don't have

:31:09.:31:13.

to react to that, and to keep myself safe from something like that, when

:31:14.:31:18.

you know who you are, social media cannot do hate you, and you will not

:31:19.:31:25.

get sick like this. I agree, I think eating disorders have existed for a

:31:26.:31:30.

long time. And they are thinking disorders first and foremost. Yes,

:31:31.:31:35.

unfortunately it is in your mind, what you are seeing may influence

:31:36.:31:41.

your mind, but the problem is within you wait before you go on social

:31:42.:31:46.

media. Can I just interrupted. When you say it is all in the mind, you

:31:47.:31:49.

paste eating disorders into some form of weird mental condition. I

:31:50.:31:55.

didn't mean that. But we are still trying to understand it, there is a

:31:56.:32:00.

susceptibility, a genetic susceptibility. But that makes me

:32:01.:32:05.

feel hopeless, but I am not, I am strong, I have done it. I have

:32:06.:32:11.

studied obesity, and I know that there are people who are susceptible

:32:12.:32:14.

to obesity, and equally there will be people who are susceptible to

:32:15.:32:26.

accepting there is a biological, genetic input in part. I'm not

:32:27.:32:32.

saying I'm giving up, but why am I well now, then? I'm sorry, let me

:32:33.:32:40.

come in. It is a longer discussion. Your programme is on tonight, BBC

:32:41.:32:48.

Two, 9pm. Thank you very much to all of you. Keep letting us know your

:32:49.:32:50.

thoughts on that one. Still to come: Is the British press

:32:51.:32:56.

out to get Muslims? - one man believes that's

:32:57.:32:58.

the impression it gives - and has made it his job

:32:59.:33:00.

to put it right. The Finnish pop star Saara Aalto

in the UK, it was worldwide. The apology to Zahid and his family

came alongside eight other corrections to articles

concerning Muslims last month. This is far higher than previous

months, and is partly down Miqdaad Versi is an activist

and to Ipso, the press regulator. Not all succeed, but he was behind

:39:27.:39:33.

eight corrections last month. How much of a problem

:39:34.:39:35.

are these inaccuracies? Nowadays, things just spread

:39:36.:39:39.

virally on social media, and that's what the problem really

:39:40.:39:42.

is, that these individual stories get traction,

:39:43.:39:44.

and far right websites, extremist websites, take it up,

:39:45.:39:51.

and that's the problem. Then when there is a correction,

:39:52.:39:55.

that doesn't go as far, it doesn't go to those far right

:39:56.:39:58.

websites, so the individuals who saw it in the first place have this view

:39:59.:40:01.

that this is reality. Five of the corrections

:40:02.:40:08.

in December related to The Sunday Times article

:40:09.:40:14.

stated in its headline, "Enclaves of Islam see UK as 75%

:40:15.:40:18.

Muslim." And it's about a report

:40:19.:40:22.

by Louise Casey on integration In reality, what the report actually

:40:23.:40:24.

said was one school had students who thought that the majority

:40:25.:40:37.

of the country were Asian. And it was to do with one

:40:38.:40:41.

school only, rather So this was entirely incorrect,

:40:42.:40:47.

which the Sunday Times acknowledged, Also last month, the Daily Mail had

:40:48.:40:51.

to correct an article The correction read,

:40:52.:40:55.

"A headline on an earlier version of this article said that

:40:56.:40:59.

Malia Bouattia claimed that young Muslims are travelling to join Isis

:41:00.:41:04.

in Syria due to cuts to education. It also said that Miss Bouattia had

:41:05.:41:07.

refused to condemn Isis. The correct position is that

:41:08.:41:12.

Miss Bouattia claimed that young Muslims are travelling to join Isis

:41:13.:41:15.

in Syria for reasons including Government cuts to education

:41:16.:41:17.

and mass unemployment, and Miss Bouattia

:41:18.:41:19.

has condemned Isis." This one is The Sun On Sunday mixing

:41:20.:41:23.

up two black Muslims, one who is fighting against extremism

:41:24.:41:28.

and one who's accused of extremism. And this one is by ITN News,

:41:29.:41:32.

where they seem to misinterpret a poll, claiming that half of UK

:41:33.:41:39.

Muslims would not report extremism, So previously we had individuals

:41:40.:41:42.

taking on the press where they felt they had been misreported,

:41:43.:41:47.

but now you are taking on any story that you think's inaccurate

:41:48.:41:50.

about Muslims or Islam, That's right, so because nobody else

:41:51.:41:52.

seems to be doing this, there've been so many articles

:41:53.:41:58.

about Muslims overall that have been entirely inaccurate,

:41:59.:42:01.

and they create this idea within many Muslim communities that

:42:02.:42:05.

media's out to get them. And the reason that's the case

:42:06.:42:09.

is that nobody's challenging these newspapers and saying,

:42:10.:42:12.

"That's not true." The Muslim Council of Britain has

:42:13.:42:17.

been unequivocal on this, it's raised this issue again

:42:18.:42:19.

and again that inaccurate reporting leads to hostility against Muslims,

:42:20.:42:22.

and that's a problem not just for Muslim communities

:42:23.:42:24.

but for the wider society. The Independent Press

:42:25.:42:32.

Standards Organisation, Ipso, confirmed that it is receiving

:42:33.:42:34.

lots of complaints It also pointed out that the two

:42:35.:42:36.

articles about which it's had the most complaints

:42:37.:42:42.

since it was formed in 2014 I think I, like anyone else, want

:42:43.:42:45.

a press that's going to be accurate, that's going to care about the facts

:42:46.:42:57.

and verifying them, but I think this campaign

:42:58.:43:00.

of complaints that we've seen, particularly over the last six

:43:01.:43:02.

months, it looks like, I don't think that's really

:43:03.:43:04.

what's driving it. I think what we're seeing

:43:05.:43:06.

here is a quite concerted attempt to often ringfence Islam

:43:07.:43:09.

from criticism and to try and chill discussion about a lot of issues,

:43:10.:43:12.

and I think for me the standout case of this was a story that was run

:43:13.:43:16.

by both The Sun and the Mail Online in May last year, a suspected honour

:43:17.:43:19.

killing, so both papers ran with this, they referred to it

:43:20.:43:22.

as an Islamic honour killing, And so a complaint was made

:43:23.:43:25.

which stated that Islam doesn't condone honour killings,

:43:26.:43:34.

that this is a cultural thing, not a religious thing,

:43:35.:43:36.

and as a result of this, Ipso ruled and required

:43:37.:43:40.

the newspapers to print, and this is almost a direct quote,

:43:41.:43:44.

that the religion of Islam does not I thought that was just

:43:45.:43:47.

absolutely staggering, because, as we all know,

:43:48.:43:51.

a religion is just an assortment of ideas and principles,

:43:52.:43:54.

these things are contested. What these papers were effectively

:43:55.:43:58.

asked to do, and what they did, was to print one accepted

:43:59.:44:01.

interpretation of religion, and to me this was just

:44:02.:44:03.

like back-door blasphemy law. Do you worry about a chilling

:44:04.:44:15.

effect, that your constant critique will make people scared

:44:16.:44:18.

of covering these issues? Not really, because in reality

:44:19.:44:20.

newspapers report on a range All I'm asking for is

:44:21.:44:22.

responsible reporting. For Zahid, this is not just

:44:23.:44:29.

about incorrect reporting, though. He feels the response to both

:44:30.:44:33.

the original article by Katie Hopkins and her apology

:44:34.:44:35.

was very reactionary. First, they were all against us,

:44:36.:44:41.

when Katie Hopkins published the article, and then when she made

:44:42.:44:43.

an apology a year later, then they all turned against her,

:44:44.:44:50.

so there's no middle ground. The upsetting part is not the actual

:44:51.:44:53.

element of Katie Hopkins, it's the mindset of people,

:44:54.:44:57.

how they can very easily be led against somebody

:44:58.:45:01.

or in favour of somebody. I feel proud to be living

:45:02.:45:04.

in London as a Muslim. Where people from different

:45:05.:45:10.

backgrounds, different countries, different tribes, different

:45:11.:45:12.

languages, faith, beliefs, But there are elements

:45:13.:45:13.

which are actually destroying these relationships and this unity

:45:14.:45:17.

which we have within the community. How do you feel about

:45:18.:45:24.

Katie Hopkins now? In fact, my wife and I would

:45:25.:45:25.

formally like to invite her to our In fact, my wife and I would

:45:26.:45:32.

formally like to invite her to our We have no grudge against her,

:45:33.:45:38.

and we would like her to learn and know that we are as British

:45:39.:45:43.

as she is. In fact, my wife's grandfather

:45:44.:45:46.

and great-grandfather both fought They fought for the very

:45:47.:45:48.

freedom of this country. Many people wouldn't

:45:49.:45:59.

be so forgiving. This is what I've been brought up

:46:00.:46:01.

with, this is the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad,

:46:02.:46:03.

peace be upon him, that he has taught us

:46:04.:46:05.

to remove evil with goodness. She made allegations,

:46:06.:46:10.

we want to show her the goodness, and we want to invite her to our

:46:11.:46:12.

house so she can first-hand meet us. STUDIO: Last month, the Daily Mail

after she labelled him an extremist We got in touch with Katie

:46:49.:46:51.

and put this offer to her what impact do you think this is

:46:52.:47:00.

having? It is not just me saying this, this is academise from

:47:01.:47:02.

Leicester University, Cambridge University, European Commission on

:47:03.:47:04.

racism and intolerance, all are saying the same thing, reckless

:47:05.:47:09.

reporting leads to hate crime, leads to hostility against Muslims. This

:47:10.:47:15.

is not just me saying it, this is nationally, academics,

:47:16.:47:17.

internationally, human rights activist, those who are looking at

:47:18.:47:21.

this issue at the United Nations level, specifically talking about

:47:22.:47:26.

how media has caused hostility against Muslims in the UK. Do you

:47:27.:47:31.

think newspapers and journalists have to be more wary of what is

:47:32.:47:37.

being said in that context, if there is a link between what is said in

:47:38.:47:41.

the papers and what is happening in the community? First and foremost, I

:47:42.:47:46.

am dubious of the link that is set between reporting and people's

:47:47.:47:50.

reactions, that projects a quite low view of the public, that they can be

:47:51.:47:55.

whipped into a frenzy by a you force headlines but we all want a press

:47:56.:47:59.

that is going to be factual and care about accuracy but I do not believe

:48:00.:48:03.

that is what is driving this, I think the mail online, the example

:48:04.:48:06.

referred to in the film, perfect example, newspapers effectively

:48:07.:48:12.

required to print what is according to him, the acceptable version of a

:48:13.:48:18.

particular religion, that is like something out of the days of the

:48:19.:48:21.

Star chamber, I cannot believe it so is going along with this, unless you

:48:22.:48:27.

have a direct line, there is no requirement to print these things.

:48:28.:48:32.

-- Ipso. Did you read the tips are ruling? It did not say that. It

:48:33.:48:40.

didn't say that, -- did you read the Ipso ruling? That is what the ruling

:48:41.:48:45.

was, the fact that the mail online chose to respond and they decided to

:48:46.:48:50.

explain the reasoning, and apologise in the way they did, that is a

:48:51.:48:56.

choice for the Mail Online, they did not ask them to make a theological

:48:57.:49:00.

decision. That means ask you a question, when there are statements,

:49:01.:49:04.

like the Sun saying, supermarket terror, gunmen... Here we go...

:49:05.:49:18.

Gunmen screaming opens fire in Spanish supermarket while carrying

:49:19.:49:22.

bag filled with petrol and gunpowder... Similar stories in the

:49:23.:49:28.

Daily Mail and the express. The reality is, these are factually

:49:29.:49:32.

incorrect, you can tell they are not factually correct because the sun

:49:33.:49:36.

decided to make changes, changing the article entire it, it is of the

:49:37.:49:42.

reality, it just wasn't true. -- changing the article entirely.

:49:43.:49:48.

Stories across-the-board are found to be inaccurate, are you saying

:49:49.:49:51.

that stories that relates to Islam needs to be monitored more

:49:52.:49:56.

carefully? I'm not talking about favours, I'm talking about fairness.

:49:57.:50:01.

We have a situation right now where people have a low view of the press,

:50:02.:50:05.

I believe in journalism and the fact that we want to have a strong press

:50:06.:50:13.

out there, we will seek a challenge authority, but when there is

:50:14.:50:16.

inaccuracy is, that undermines really good reporting. Forge gnarly,

:50:17.:50:23.

we have seen examples. You have said that it is OK for editors to keep

:50:24.:50:32.

this... -- unfortunately, we have seen examples. These newspapers did

:50:33.:50:39.

print corrections under their own polishing, but it is under pressure,

:50:40.:50:43.

the sun and the mail Online printed the same sentence, that tells us

:50:44.:50:47.

what is going on in this instance, we should all care about

:50:48.:50:49.

corrections, some of the corrections we are talking about, these

:50:50.:50:56.

newspapers repeated this misreading, this misrepresentation of a

:50:57.:50:59.

particular statistic, but you'd suggest this is spreading hate, and

:51:00.:51:03.

I disagree with that for two reasons: look at the Sunday Times

:51:04.:51:06.

retraction, they made the point that this story was published before the

:51:07.:51:11.

story came review came out, that is a product of churn-alism, which is a

:51:12.:51:19.

big problem, and it encourages a climate which sees issues which

:51:20.:51:24.

affect Muslims as something as touchy, and the reason that

:51:25.:51:28.

something like the Casey Report exploded as it did, as most

:51:29.:51:33.

egalitarian would have, there is a feeling that integration is not

:51:34.:51:36.

going as well as we would like all stop we should be allowed to talk

:51:37.:51:40.

about that. Looking closely at any story, and saying, where there are

:51:41.:51:45.

factual inaccuracies, they need to be corrected. I think there is

:51:46.:51:48.

definitely a moral obligation on newspapers to correct things but

:51:49.:51:51.

what we're looking at here is something much broader, I see this

:51:52.:51:59.

as a much broader context, not just about is fellow here, it is a

:52:00.:52:03.

broader climate, this hyper session with Islamophobia, it is a chilling

:52:04.:52:07.

discussion, what has been done quite successfully is to conflate

:52:08.:52:11.

criticism of Islam, discussion of issues that affect the Muslim

:52:12.:52:15.

community, with criticism of those as individuals, they have racialised

:52:16.:52:19.

discussion and that is inimical to free speech. There has been 25

:52:20.:52:24.

corrections in the last year, 13 in the last six weeks, every week there

:52:25.:52:29.

has been two corrections on average on issues related to Muslims, let's

:52:30.:52:33.

listen to the academics who say that this is a problem, who say this is

:52:34.:52:38.

causing hate rhyme. Rather than listen to opinions by individuals,

:52:39.:52:41.

listen to academics, facts, hopefully we can have a stronger

:52:42.:52:45.

press, so we can have responsible reporting for all. Thank you both

:52:46.:52:46.

very much. It was only last month that Finnish

:52:47.:52:52.

pop star Saara Aalto came but the 29-year-old has already

:52:53.:52:55.

signed a record deal with Sony. She entered the show after years

:52:56.:52:59.

of performing as a singer where she couldn't get a record

:53:00.:53:02.

deal because she wanted

:53:03.:53:04.

to sing in English. In a moment we will talk with Saara

:53:05.:53:06.

in her first interview of 2017 but first here she is performing

:53:07.:53:10.

in the semi-finals of The X Factor, with the song that she sang

:53:11.:53:13.

in her first audition, You came second, it was a journey,

:53:14.:53:39.

you thought you were out, then you are back in after a month of being

:53:40.:53:43.

out, and then you were in the bottom two quite a few times and had to

:53:44.:53:47.

sing to stay in the show. That must have tested your resilience? It did,

:53:48.:53:53.

definitely, it was a journey, I feel it was all worth it and somehow it

:53:54.:53:57.

made me stronger each week, so I am quite happy that it happened like

:53:58.:54:01.

that. Probably didn't feel like it at the time. I feel like it was

:54:02.:54:09.

meant to be. You were pretty well-established in Finland when you

:54:10.:54:12.

went on the show, you went on because you wanted to be able to

:54:13.:54:17.

sing in English, why wasn't the Finnish market enough for you? Well,

:54:18.:54:22.

I was ten when I saw the Spice Girls performing on television and I was

:54:23.:54:26.

like, that is where I want to be, I want to be an international singer,

:54:27.:54:30.

that is when I composed my music in English even though I could not

:54:31.:54:35.

quite speak English yet. It has always been my way of doing and I

:54:36.:54:38.

always see myself singing all around the world, and if you sing in

:54:39.:54:43.

finish, you have two stay in Finland. I just have this passion,

:54:44.:54:49.

for languages, to see the world, to sing to everybody, and that is why I

:54:50.:54:54.

came here. Have talent shows change, when I was a kid, they were very

:54:55.:54:58.

much for amateurs, someone who had no other prospect of getting a

:54:59.:55:04.

singing career, or a career in the public eye, unless they went on

:55:05.:55:13.

those talent shows to break out. There are people like you who have

:55:14.:55:16.

had a degree of success and now people like you are on talent shows.

:55:17.:55:21.

Every show they have people who asked Artin, and they dream about

:55:22.:55:26.

being singers, but in every show they also have people who have been

:55:27.:55:31.

working for it for and years. But, you know, nowadays, it is very hard

:55:32.:55:37.

to get your face out there, you need help and these kind of shows are a

:55:38.:55:41.

very good platform for people to really show their talent. Your

:55:42.:55:45.

girlfriend was the person who suggested that you go on the show,

:55:46.:55:49.

she didn't really feature very much in your personal story on the show,

:55:50.:55:53.

people have questioned why, why do you think that was? Well, actually,

:55:54.:55:58.

me and my girlfriend were always on social media together, giving

:55:59.:56:05.

interviews, I think those BTs that were on the show, the video clips, I

:56:06.:56:09.

think we had so many things that we wanted to fit in and they were only

:56:10.:56:13.

one minute long, we did not have time to go into my personal life. --

:56:14.:56:19.

VTs. I didn't even realise that myself because I was with my

:56:20.:56:22.

girlfriend all the time, very openly. You work on mental health

:56:23.:56:29.

shops for kids, in Finland. Why do you do that? We have this no fear

:56:30.:56:35.

project, together, lectures for young people, going for their

:56:36.:56:40.

dreams, being who they are, that is the most important thing in life,

:56:41.:56:44.

that is why I want to be a singer, that is why I want to encourage

:56:45.:56:48.

young people or old people to live their life as they are. I think

:56:49.:56:54.

people need love and encouragement. Do you feel you are living the

:56:55.:57:00.

dream? Yes, definitely, definitely. Do you see yourself as a role model?

:57:01.:57:05.

At least that is the response that I get, which is really nice, I get

:57:06.:57:10.

e-mails, and private messages on social media, young girl saying that

:57:11.:57:15.

I give them a lot of strength, and encouragement. So that is the best

:57:16.:57:22.

feedback that I can get, really. Gabriella, I mentioned a tweet from

:57:23.:57:26.

her, she said she spontaneously clapped at home when she said you

:57:27.:57:29.

were coming on the show, she wanted a shout out, so it would mean the

:57:30.:57:38.

world. Hello, Gabriela, I am so glad that you tweeted to me and I am so

:57:39.:57:42.

glad if I can bring you any happiness and joy for your life, I

:57:43.:57:47.

wish you all the best. And everybody, always remember, love

:57:48.:57:50.

will always win in the end! For you, a record deal with Sony, what is

:57:51.:57:56.

next! We have the X Factor tour coming up, and then we have an arena

:57:57.:58:04.

concert. Already so sold out, it is going to be huge. I have two prepare

:58:05.:58:08.

for that. And then, writing new songs and hopefully getting my first

:58:09.:58:12.

angle out as soon as possible. Of course, we must take our time and

:58:13.:58:17.

find the best song. Great to have you with us. Thank you very much.

:58:18.:58:23.

Thank you for your company as well. I will see the same time tomorrow,

:58:24.:58:25.

have a good afternoon.

:58:26.:58:28.
