America will build a wall on the Mexican border,

:00:00.:00:00.

says President Trump, as he prepares to unveil plans

:00:07.:00:09.

He's expected to set in motion his election pledge

:00:10.:00:15.

to build the 2,000 mile long wall and explain how it will be paid for.

:00:16.:00:20.

And it's understood he'll sign executive orders to restrict

:00:21.:00:22.

immigration and impose tougher visa regulations on a number

:00:23.:00:25.

We will have the latest from Washington and from Mexico.

:00:26.:00:35.

Also on the programme this lunchtime....

I can confirm to the house that the plan will be set out in a White

:01:31.:01:32.

to the BBC News at One. Donald Trump is promising a "big

:01:33.:01:56.

day" on national security today, as he makes good on his

:01:57.:02:00.

pre-election promises to crack down on immigration, and

:02:01.:02:03.

tighten internal security. He's expected to give details of how

:02:04.:02:06.

America will build its wall along He's also expected to halve

:02:07.:02:11.

the number of refugees allowed into the US,

:02:12.:02:17.

and tighten visa controls on visitors from a number

:02:18.:02:19.

of predominantly Muslim countries. Opponents have reacted

:02:20.:02:22.

with alarm to the plans, as David Willis now

:02:23.:02:25.

reports from Washington. We're going to have our

:02:26.:02:28.

borders nice and strong. It was the soundtrack

:02:29.:02:30.

to Donald Trump's unorthodox campaign for president -

:02:31.:02:39.

a call to build a wall along America's southern

:02:40.:02:42.

border with Mexico. Now he seems set to press ahead

:02:43.:02:45.

with measures he believes are vital to stemming the illegal flow

:02:46.:02:48.

of immigrants into The President on his

:02:49.:02:51.

Twitter account said simply: He's vowed to make Mexico

:02:52.:03:04.

pay for it what's more, although the Mexican government

:03:05.:03:06.

has refused to do so. TRANSLATION: We recognise

:03:07.:03:10.

that the United States has a right to build the wall,

:03:11.:03:15.

even though we don't like it. But it's another thing to get

:03:16.:03:18.

a neighbouring country to pay We have said many times

:03:19.:03:21.

that this is unacceptable. It's the clear position

:03:22.:03:26.

of the Mexican government Later in the week, to round off

:03:27.:03:28.

a busy start to his presidency, Mr Trump is expected to sign

:03:29.:03:35.

executive orders, closing America's borders to refugees,

:03:36.:03:39.

and limiting access to citizens from seven African and

:03:40.:03:42.

Middle Eastern countries - countries the administration

:03:43.:03:45.

believes export terrorism. They're mainly Muslim countries,

:03:46.:03:48.

but the mantra of the Trump A country that traditionally

:03:49.:03:52.

has opened its doors to immigrants is about to head

:03:53.:03:59.

in the opposite direction. In a moment we'll talk

:04:00.:04:07.

to our correspondent in Washington, but first let's go to

:04:08.:04:09.

Will Grant in Mexico City. The big question is how this school

:04:10.:04:24.

is going to be paid. -- this wall. There is a lot that Mexicans may

:04:25.:04:28.

disagree with, but if there is one thing they can rally around it their

:04:29.:04:31.

hatred, their complete rejection of this wall. I bet the body from the

:04:32.:04:39.

top politicians to workers in car factories -- everybody, from the top

:04:40.:04:42.

politicians to ordinary people up and down the country reject this

:04:43.:04:45.

Friday and their clear that Mexico will not pay for it. That's what

:04:46.:04:50.

they say. This is having a great impact on the popularity of the

:04:51.:04:56.

President here, and wreak a Pena Nieto, who is due to meet Mr Trump

:04:57.:05:01.

in Washington, DC on the 31st. It has hit him hard, he's facing the

:05:02.:05:06.

lowest popularity figures of any Mexican President for two decades.

:05:07.:05:09.

It is his handling of this particular issue that has hurt him

:05:10.:05:14.

so hard. As far as Mexicans are concerned, they simply will not be

:05:15.:05:17.

paying for this - either before or after the event, in terms of

:05:18.:05:22.

remittances, some kind of control of taxes, whatever it is that Mr Trump

:05:23.:05:26.

is proposing, you can be very sure that Mexicans will oppose it. Thank

:05:27.:05:27.

you. And we can speak to our

:05:28.:05:29.

correspondent in Washington, President Trump has promised a lot

:05:30.:05:37.

more detail on national security, but he's also said he will have more

:05:38.:05:41.

detail and an investigation that he has announced he will launch this

:05:42.:05:46.

morning into voter fraud. It's interesting. Donald Trump won the

:05:47.:05:49.

election here fair and square under the rules of the constitution, he

:05:50.:05:54.

won 33 states, 306 electoral votes, but he didn't win the popular vote.

:05:55.:05:59.

Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than him countrywide, and he

:06:00.:06:03.

doesn't like it one bit. Several times he said that there has been

:06:04.:06:06.

voter fraud. He is now announced this investigation. There is no

:06:07.:06:11.

evidence of voter fraud on anything like that scale. I think his aides

:06:12.:06:15.

will be pulling their hair out this morning because this kind of thing

:06:16.:06:18.

is likely to overshadow what should be a very big day for him in terms

:06:19.:06:24.

of fulfilling one of his promises - the wall. Plus those other measures

:06:25.:06:29.

on immigration. We are looking at a potential temporary ban on refugees

:06:30.:06:32.

coming into the United States. 85,000 came in last year. That will

:06:33.:06:37.

have a huge impact worldwide. And again these huge views of

:06:38.:06:40.

restrictions on seven countries from North Africa and the Middle East,

:06:41.:06:45.

pending the imposition on what they are going to call in the long run

:06:46.:06:51.

"Extreme vetting." That could all be subject to legal challenge,

:06:52.:06:54.

particularly because they are predominantly Muslim country. The

:06:55.:06:57.

lawyers could say it is discriminating on religious grounds

:06:58.:07:00.

and that is unconstitutional. Thank you, both.

:07:01.:07:04.

And you can get much more on these first days of the Trump presidency.

:07:05.:07:08.

That's 100 Days with Katty Kay in Washington, and Christian Fraser

:07:09.:07:10.

The Prime Minister has backed down in the Commons after pressure to

:07:11.:07:25.

publish the UK's plans on how the UK will leave the European Union.

:07:26.:07:29.

Theresa May now says the government will publish a formal White Paper

:07:30.:07:33.

for scrutiny. She had been under pressure from Labour MPs and a

:07:34.:07:37.

number of conservatives to produce a policy document. It will be separate

:07:38.:07:40.

from the legislation MPs will vote on, which would trigger the process

:07:41.:07:44.

of leaving the EU. A bizarre political correspondent.

:07:45.:07:48.

-- here is our political correspondent.

:07:49.:07:54.

Off to the Commons. Yesterday a Supreme Court ruled against the

:07:55.:07:58.

Prime Minister, forcing her to consult parliament before starting

:07:59.:08:00.

formal Brexit negotiations. That wasn't enough for some MPs who

:08:01.:08:05.

complained about the lack of a clear vision of the government's plans.

:08:06.:08:11.

Order, questions to the Prime Minister.

:08:12.:08:13.

But today she sought to seize the initiative with an unexpected

:08:14.:08:16.

announcement. I can confirm to the house that our

:08:17.:08:19.

plan will be set out in a White Paper.

:08:20.:08:23.

A White Paper, formerly setting up the government's approach, was a

:08:24.:08:27.

central demand of the opposition. The Labour leaders struggle to

:08:28.:08:30.

rethink his attack. Because we know when this like paper

:08:31.:08:35.

is going to be available to us -- could we know when this White Paper

:08:36.:08:39.

is going to be available to us and why it's taken so long to get a?

:08:40.:08:44.

Theresa May said the timing was less important than negotiating a good

:08:45.:08:46.

deal. C and others asked for a White

:08:47.:08:50.

Paper. I've been clear there will be a White Paper. What I'm also clear

:08:51.:08:54.

about is that the Right Honourable gentleman always ask about process.

:08:55.:09:00.

About the means to the end. I miss government focusing on the outcomes.

:09:01.:09:07.

With focusing... -- I and this government. Jeremy Corbyn was

:09:08.:09:11.

determined that it would mean cutting taxes on big business.

:09:12.:09:16.

Will she offer some clarity and some certainty and withdraw the threat to

:09:17.:09:19.

destroy the social sector -- structure of this country by turning

:09:20.:09:24.

us into the bargain basement she clearly threatens?

:09:25.:09:26.

Tomorrow the government will publish the deal to get Parliament's

:09:27.:09:31.

improvement for starting formal Brexit negotiations. Ministers are

:09:32.:09:34.

confident they can get it through without significant setbacks. But

:09:35.:09:36.

long and complex battles lie ahead. Let's speak to our Assistant

:09:37.:09:38.

Poltiical Editor, Norman Smith. How big a climb-down is this for the

:09:39.:09:48.

Prime Minister? Well, make no mistake, it is a climb-down because

:09:49.:09:52.

Downing Street have repeatedly rebuffed the idea of publishing a

:09:53.:09:55.

White Paper. I was speaking to some of Mrs May's people this morning and

:09:56.:09:59.

they said they would not publish a White Paper because if they get MPs

:10:00.:10:03.

out they will move onto demanding something else. And in the Commons

:10:04.:10:07.

Mrs May gets up and says, we are going to publish. But it strikes me

:10:08.:10:15.

as quite a crafty climb-down because politically this is a concession Mrs

:10:16.:10:19.

May was perhaps always planning to make. Because governments almost

:10:20.:10:26.

always published a White Paper before they going to negotiations

:10:27.:10:30.

about other EU treaties. So she may always have intended to do this. And

:10:31.:10:34.

you sense that for many conservatives, this will keep them

:10:35.:10:38.

on board. Because there were a group of Tory MPs poised to side with

:10:39.:10:46.

opposition politicians to vote against Mrs May and demanded White

:10:47.:10:52.

Paper. So she has defused that and wrong-footed Jeremy Corbyn, who

:10:53.:10:55.

lined up in the Commons to ask her a whole are critical questions about

:10:56.:10:59.

the White Paper. He was left somewhat trying to find his way. So,

:11:00.:11:05.

yes, it's the climb-down. But it's quite a clever climb-down. And one

:11:06.:11:10.

which Mrs May must always have intended to make. One other thing to

:11:11.:11:14.

say, in the last few minutes we've been told by Downing Street that the

:11:15.:11:20.

bill to trigger article 50 will be published tomorrow. That is going to

:11:21.:11:25.

be the next focus of possible argy-bargy over Brexit, as MPs look

:11:26.:11:29.

at that and decide what sort of amendments they want to table. So

:11:30.:11:33.

that is going to be the next big bust up over Brexit.

:11:34.:11:35.

Thank you. A man has been arrested

:11:36.:11:37.

in connection with alleged threats against the campaigner Gina Miller,

:11:38.:11:40.

who led the Brexit court case The 50-year-old man was arrested in

:11:41.:11:42.

London's Knightsbridge this morning. Our legal correspondent,

:11:43.:11:47.

Clive Coleman, is here. What more can you tell us? Officers

:11:48.:11:57.

from the Met's anti-cyber crime unit, Operation Vulcan, the rest of

:11:58.:12:03.

this 50-year-old man this morning in Knightsbridge this morning on

:12:04.:12:06.

suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communication. The arrest

:12:07.:12:10.

is in connection with a complaint made on the 6th of November by Gina

:12:11.:12:15.

Miller. She's the woman who successfully challenged the

:12:16.:12:17.

government's plans to trigger article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty

:12:18.:12:22.

without an act of Parliament. She won her case at the Court yesterday.

:12:23.:12:28.

It relates to threats made online and a second unrelated comment

:12:29.:12:30.

believed to have been made by the same suspect in August 20 16. The

:12:31.:12:35.

arrested man is currently in custody at a central London police station.

:12:36.:12:39.

As part of the same investigation, we are told that the police issued

:12:40.:12:43.

eight cease and desist notices to various individuals around the UK.

:12:44.:12:47.

They do what they say on the tin. Those notices that they if you don't

:12:48.:12:51.

stop the behaviour you're involved with, that could lead to police

:12:52.:12:55.

action. Speaking to me in December following the Supreme Court hearing,

:12:56.:12:58.

Gina Miller outline the general nature of the threats she has faced.

:12:59.:13:01.

The sexual violence is very vile and I wouldn't like to say,

:13:02.:13:05.

but anything you can probably imagine is what I've

:13:06.:13:07.

Then there have been particular death threats

:13:08.:13:10.

about slitting my throat, or beheading me, or whatever it is.

:13:11.:13:17.

Today's arrest is separate from the arrest by officers from the same Met

:13:18.:13:25.

unit in early December, during the Supreme Court hearing itself, of a

:13:26.:13:28.

55-year-old man in Swindon on suspicion of the same offence. He

:13:29.:13:31.

was released on bail. Clive, thank you.

:13:32.:13:34.

David Cameron has called for more funding for dementia

:13:35.:13:36.

research as he revealed that he is the new president of

:13:37.:13:39.

The former Prime Minister says the focus on Alzheimers research

:13:40.:13:42.

lags too far behind that for cancer and strokes.

:13:43.:13:44.

He says he wants to "win the battle of priorities" because dementia

:13:45.:13:47.

shouldn't be written off as "an inevitability of later life".

:13:48.:13:56.

The laws which ban sexist dress rules at work aren't

:13:57.:13:59.

being enforced properly, according to a group of MPs.

:14:00.:14:02.

It follows the case of a woman who was sent home from her job

:14:03.:14:05.

at an accountancy firm for not wearing high heeled shoes,

:14:06.:14:07.

while the same company had no dress code for men.

:14:08.:14:12.

When MPs began to investigate the story, they were inundated

:14:13.:14:15.

with complaints from women with similar experiences.

:14:16.:14:17.

The receptionist who wouldn't give in. Nicola Thorp refused to wear

:14:18.:14:33.

heels between 2-4 inches high. She kept her flat shoes on, was sent

:14:34.:14:38.

home without pay, and now MPs have taken up are caused. The report is

:14:39.:14:42.

great because it doesn't just focus on high heels. This was never just

:14:43.:14:46.

about a pair of shoes. It's about how women are viewed in the

:14:47.:14:49.

workplace. There's so much pressure on women to not just look

:14:50.:14:53.

professional, but to look attractive.

:14:54.:14:55.

MPs heard from hundreds of women who said they had hurt their backs,

:14:56.:14:58.

wearing crippling pain and thought being forced to wear heels was

:14:59.:15:03.

sexist. Now there is a call for awareness campaigns and bigger fines

:15:04.:15:06.

for employers. It's just common sense. If people

:15:07.:15:10.

use their common sense. There are a lot of people wearing flat shoes

:15:11.:15:14.

now, which is the fashion. That's what it should be. You shouldn't

:15:15.:15:17.

have to totter around in high heels if you don't want to. Dress codes at

:15:18.:15:22.

work have to comply with health and safety regulation to reduce the risk

:15:23.:15:26.

of injury, and with the equality act which bans dissemination.

:15:27.:15:28.

While there was likely to be differences between the way men and

:15:29.:15:33.

women present themselves, what is applied should be reasonable, which

:15:34.:15:37.

applies to heavy make-up, too. The government says what happened to

:15:38.:15:41.

Nicola Thorp over high heels was unlawful. But MPs have found that

:15:42.:15:44.

the pressure on women is widespread and most would like to see something

:15:45.:15:49.

done about it. You're wearing high heels. Have you been forced?

:15:50.:15:55.

Definitely not. Looking smart is subjective. Wearing flat shoes

:15:56.:15:59.

doesn't necessarily make you look not smart. If I feel comfortable in

:16:00.:16:04.

heels, I will. But if I don't, I don't think I have two. It should

:16:05.:16:08.

not be a thing. I think there is a feeling that

:16:09.:16:12.

wearing high heels is more feminine, that it is smarter. I've never been

:16:13.:16:17.

told to wear heels. If you were, what would you do? I would be very,

:16:18.:16:21.

very put off working for that company. The campaign over high

:16:22.:16:25.

heels has highlighted the tyranny some women feel subjected to over

:16:26.:16:29.

their appearance. MPs are saying more still needs to be done to make

:16:30.:16:34.

sure they comes into work in the shoes they choose.

:16:35.:16:39.

Donald Trump is to unveil his plans to build a wall with Mexico,

:16:40.:16:44.

stop refugees entering the US, and tighten visa controls

:16:45.:16:46.

As the cold snap continues, reports of a sharp rise

:16:47.:16:55.

in the number of people sleeping rough on England's streets.

:16:56.:16:58.

Liverpool playmaker Phillippe Coutinho has signed

:16:59.:17:00.

a new five-year contract, worth around ?150,000 a week, making him

:17:01.:17:03.

the highest-paid player at the club.

:17:04.:17:19.

China may be one the world's biggest producers of many of the things

:17:20.:17:23.

we buy, but it's also gaining a reputation as one of the world's

:17:24.:17:26.

Some of the most famous high street brands are losing out

:17:27.:17:30.

on billions of pounds in trade, because of counterfeiters.

:17:31.:17:34.

Their merchandise is often so good, it's impossible to tell

:17:35.:17:36.

the difference between what's real and what's not, as our correspondent

:17:37.:17:39.

in Beijing, Robin Brant, found out when he went to speak

:17:40.:17:42.

Billions and billions of these little plastic bricks have been sold

:17:43.:17:52.

the world over, and now Lego is betting big on China.

:17:53.:17:59.

What started out with hand-cut bricks in Denmark in 1949 is now

:18:00.:18:03.

a $100 million state-of-the-art operation near Shanghai.

:18:04.:18:09.

But they are not the only ones doing it.

:18:10.:18:16.

Copies like this and fakes or counterfeits are prolific in China.

:18:17.:18:22.

Lego is currently suing the firm behind this copycat Star Wnrs model.

:18:23.:18:26.

So how easy is it to spot the difference?

:18:27.:18:29.

We bought a real one and a copycat and asked the experts.

:18:30.:18:42.

If you have to ask me to guess, I would say this one, maybe.

:18:43.:18:46.

The truth is, they look and feel almost identical.

:18:47.:18:56.

The copy's so good, in fact, that even the boss of that huge

:18:57.:19:00.

I would say this is Lego and this is not.

:19:01.:19:26.

Bought from Toy'R'Us yesterday, built by my daughter.

:19:27.:19:34.

It is trying to be Lego, is my assessment of it.

:19:35.:19:39.

Lego is not the only foreign firm investing big in China but having

:19:40.:19:42.

White Evoques like this sell particulalrly well.

:19:43.:19:50.

But the British firm has been powerless to stop this.

:19:51.:19:53.

Tucked away on a Shanghai side street, this is a Land Wind.

:19:54.:19:57.

It's similar on the inside and very, very similar on the outside,

:19:58.:20:00.

This is our copycat that caught people out.

:20:01.:20:06.

You can buy him and the real thing on the huge online

:20:07.:20:09.

They took down thousands of links to copycat Lego products last year

:20:10.:20:13.

alone, but the toy maker is still pursuing manufacturers

:20:14.:20:15.

in the courts because even the boss cannot tell the difference.

:20:16.:20:20.

There's been a big increase in the number

:20:21.:20:25.

of people sleeping rough - with more than half the councils

:20:26.:20:28.

Overall more than 4,000 people a night were sleeping rough last

:20:29.:20:33.

year - a 16% increase on the year before.

:20:34.:20:37.

The homelessness charity Crisis says the numbers are going up

:20:38.:20:40.

From Birmingham, Seema Kotecha, sent this report.

:20:41.:20:47.

As the darkness creeps in, the wind chill begins to bite.

:20:48.:20:50.

Those who have nowhere to go look for shelter.

:20:51.:20:54.

With outreach worker Paul, we come across Bob, who has been

:20:55.:20:57.

Well, I'm used to being alone, I have done that for most

:20:58.:21:06.

of my life, but sometimes I like a bit of company.

:21:07.:21:08.

I did have some people who'd used to come and sit here and talk to me.

:21:09.:21:15.

Yeah, I've got virtually everything I need.

:21:16.:21:24.

The number of rough sleepers in England has increased

:21:25.:21:26.

Local authority counts and estimates show that in autumnm 2015

:21:27.:21:37.

But counts carried out in November last year show

:21:38.:21:41.

Well as we were walking by Paul just stopped to check up on this

:21:42.:21:53.

He said that he was in a lot of pain.

:21:54.:21:57.

He said he had actually been assaulted in the night.

:21:58.:21:59.

So Paul called the paramedics and they're just making sure he's OK.

:22:00.:22:02.

We think they're probably going to have to take him

:22:03.:22:05.

to hospital because it seems there is something

:22:06.:22:07.

We were told he was discharged later that day.

:22:08.:22:13.

Some charities blame council cuts for putting more vulnerable

:22:14.:22:16.

Local authority budgets have been reduced by around 20% over the past

:22:17.:22:21.

six years which they say have led to fewer services.

:22:22.:22:27.

Homelessness is affected by austerity, the cuts that have

:22:28.:22:29.

come down from nationally, the cuts to the NHS,

:22:30.:22:32.

local authorities and also those in terms of benefit caps,

:22:33.:22:34.

that has a huge impact on why people are on the streets.

:22:35.:22:37.

Birmingham City council are doing a lot to try to reduce this

:22:38.:22:40.

by partnership work, we are working with key agencies,

:22:41.:22:43.

we are doing outreach, surgeries, and we are actually listening

:22:44.:22:45.

The government says by 2020 it will have invested

:22:46.:22:50.

more than ?500 million on tackling homelessness.

:22:51.:22:54.

But with a further squeeze on council spending expected

:22:55.:22:57.

in April, there are concerns that hostels and shelters

:22:58.:22:59.

Four school children, all under the age of 13,

:23:00.:23:13.

have been taken to hospital after taking cocaine,

:23:14.:23:16.

It happened at Broadstone Middle School at Poole in Dorset.

:23:17.:23:21.

Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is there.

:23:22.:23:31.

A strange and potentially very disturbing incident. It happened on

:23:32.:23:37.

January the 3rd although it has only just come to light. What seems to

:23:38.:23:42.

have happened judging from what the police and headteacher said is that

:23:43.:23:45.

the pupil turned up the school, we do not know how old they wear, with

:23:46.:23:51.

white powder. Three other children then became involved, they all

:23:52.:23:55.

thought it was sweets but for some reason the alarm is raised, police

:23:56.:24:00.

were called to the school. Also Southwest ambulance who turn up and

:24:01.:24:03.

check over the children. The children are sent to hospital as a

:24:04.:24:08.

precaution, given a check over and sent home and police said there was

:24:09.:24:11.

no suggestion that the children ingested anything. The police are

:24:12.:24:17.

confirming that this was cocaine. We have no further details than that.

:24:18.:24:22.

What the headteacher saying, is that we would like to reassure parents

:24:23.:24:26.

that the incident was dealt with swiftly and in line with our

:24:27.:24:30.

policies. She went on to say police enquiries are ongoing regarding the

:24:31.:24:34.

incident and as such we are unable to comment any further. So far as

:24:35.:24:39.

Dorset Police, all we're saying is that a 32-year-old man has been

:24:40.:24:43.

arrested on drugs offences, he has been bailed to appear again in

:24:44.:24:47.

February and their enquiries are continuing. No further details of

:24:48.:24:51.

the moment but those for children involved are said to be safe and

:24:52.:24:55.

well and did not ingest anything although it has been confirmed that

:24:56.:24:56.

this was cocaine. Women MPs say they're experiencing

:24:57.:25:00.

unprecedented levels Around two thirds said

:25:01.:25:02.

they felt "less safe", following the murder of the Labour

:25:03.:25:05.

MP, Jo Cox, last summer. Some reported death threats,

:25:06.:25:09.

with more than half of those questioned by the BBC saying

:25:10.:25:12.

they had had physical threats. Our political correspondent,

:25:13.:25:15.

Ellie Price, has more. NEWSREEL: It gives me the greatest

:25:16.:25:20.

pleasure to introduce to you the new It took a long time to get

:25:21.:25:23.

women into Parliament. The first female MP to take

:25:24.:25:30.

her seat, Nancy Astor, They fought and died to get

:25:31.:25:33.

representation in Parliament, but now modern women MPs

:25:34.:25:43.

face their own struggle. Right, so what you're looking

:25:44.:25:49.

at are tweets, the abusive tweets Anne McLaughlin MP won't read

:25:50.:25:53.

the abuse she receives online, which is just as well,

:25:54.:25:58.

it's deeply personal. It's very tempting if you're alone

:25:59.:26:02.

at night and nobody can see you if you get upset and you cry,

:26:03.:26:10.

to just have a look. But it is not just hurtful

:26:11.:26:14.

insults on social media, there's an even darker side of death

:26:15.:26:21.

threats and violence. Jo Cox was murdered outside her

:26:22.:26:24.

constituency surgery last June. Such threats are of course faced

:26:25.:26:29.

by male Members of Parliament too, but two thirds of the female MPs

:26:30.:26:32.

we spoke to say they have felt And well over half have

:26:33.:26:35.

received a physical threat I've had death threats

:26:36.:26:40.

towards myself and my family, one of which the police

:26:41.:26:45.

are investigating. And one where an extremely graphic

:26:46.:26:48.

image of a beheaded corpse was sent to me with the threat that,

:26:49.:26:52.

you know, for the life I have young children,

:26:53.:26:56.

so I take that extremely seriously. This is the room where

:26:57.:27:05.

I hold my surgeries. Tulip Siddique, begrudgingly, now

makes sure she has security whenever Well, this building

:27:11.:27:12.

is a secure building, there is a police presence outside,

:27:13.:27:19.

the staff are very supportive, It's all paints rather a grim

:27:20.:27:22.

picture and certainly the majority of MPs we spoke to say

:27:23.:27:29.

they are concerned that hearing about this sort of abuse might put

:27:30.:27:31.

off good new people, good new women, from

:27:32.:27:34.

wanting to become MPs. In fact a third of those we heard

:27:35.:27:37.

from said they had considered giving up their job here in Parliament

:27:38.:27:41.

because of it. And the majority we heard from say,

:27:42.:27:43.

despite the difficulties, the job is a privilege and well

:27:44.:27:48.

worth the flak. She's the editor who persuaded

:27:49.:27:52.

the Duchess of Cambridge to appear on the front of the centenary

:27:53.:27:58.

edition of Vogue, but today Alexandra Shulman, has said she's

:27:59.:28:01.

stepping down from the job She's been in charge

:28:02.:28:04.

for a quarter of a century, but she said she now wanted

:28:05.:28:09.

to "experience a different life". In the world of high fashion and the

:28:10.:28:23.

catwalk show you know where you stand, by where you sit. For 25

:28:24.:28:31.

years the front row seat of British fashion has belonged to Alexandra

:28:32.:28:35.

Shulman. In a world all about what is new she has been a constant

:28:36.:28:38.

figure in an era in which British fashion blossomed with names like

:28:39.:28:43.

Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. I think the white... While

:28:44.:28:53.

British folk has just celebrated its 100th anniversary and is still at

:28:54.:28:57.

the top of the fashion prestige list, it has been a torrid time in

:28:58.:29:02.

the magazine business. Online now offers alternative ways for people

:29:03.:29:06.

to get their fashion fix. Always unnerving then when someone with a

:29:07.:29:10.

reputation for knowing what works, goes. It has also gone is a fashion

:29:11.:29:16.

editor who never really seemed like a typical fashion editor. Calm,

:29:17.:29:18.

reserved, a recent documentary wondered why in a world of high

:29:19.:29:23.

emotion, she seemed to be immune to the high anxiety of fashion. You do

:29:24.:29:27.

not seem like someone who carries much stress with you. I know, it is

:29:28.:29:32.

amazing. I've never seemed like someone who carries stress. But you

:29:33.:29:40.

do. Yes. 20 years ago she had faced criticism in an era of so-called

:29:41.:29:44.

heroin chic and a super skinny models and by the end she questioned

:29:45.:29:49.

designers why fashion clothes had to be so tiny. And unlike other

:29:50.:29:54.

editors, her personal style was not controlled by the dictates of

:29:55.:29:57.

fashion. She rather stood out for being strangely normal.

:29:58.:30:00.

Finally it is the last of the foggy days, it caused a few issues again

:30:01.:30:17.

at the airports and on the road. Captured by one of our Weather

:30:18.:30:21.

Watchers in temperature. The early morning mist has cleared to reveal

:30:22.:30:25.

some sunny skies in Nottinghamshire and again we have a mixture of

:30:26.:30:32.

weather today. A slice of sunshine for North and west England and

:30:33.:30:37.

Wales. Northern Ireland and Scotland staying mainly cloudy. Visibility is

:30:38.:30:41.

slowly picking up across eastern counties of England. When the fog

:30:42.:30:48.

has gone it stays gone which is good news. A fine afternoon for Northern

:30:49.:30:53.

counties of England. Pretty cloudy across Northern Ireland with some

:30:54.:30:57.

showers possible. Some rain in the Western Isles but mild in the

:30:58.:31:02.

Highlands with temperatures of up to 13 degrees. Overnight tonight the

:31:03.:31:06.

wind picks up and we see cloudy skies spreading across much of the

:31:07.:31:10.

country. With that we could have some hill fog across the tops of the

:31:11.:31:17.

Pennines and some drizzle falling. Another cold night for England and

:31:18.:31:23.

Wales and even some frost possible in Scotland but Northern Ireland

:31:24.:31:26.

stays frost free. The coldest temperatures again in the

:31:27.:31:32.

countryside, a possible minus six degrees in the north of Scotland. On

:31:33.:31:37.

Thursday we begin with a lot of cloud again, thick enough for some

:31:38.:31:43.

drizzle. And brightening up through the day but the brisk wind drag in

:31:44.:31:47.

some cold continental air. That will make the weather feel below freezing

:31:48.:31:54.

in places. Heading on into Friday, a subtle change in way the wind is

coming from. Starting to come up from the Bay of this guy so mild

see temperatures rising. Some rain in the West. -- they've Biscay. Up

:32:10.:32:14.

to 10 degrees towards Plymouth but still cold for Scotland and North

:32:15.:32:18.

East England. Looking at the weather into the weekend, a mixed bag. On

:32:19.:32:22.

Saturday staying quiet and settled with heavy showers and some of those

:32:23.:32:27.

could fall as snow over the high ground in Scotland. But by Sunday

:32:28.:32:31.

some slightly colder air spreading to most parts of UK but with that

:32:32.:32:35.

the weather becomes a bit drier with some spells. So cloudy weekend with

:32:36.:32:43.

showers by Sunday it is improving. So a cold day coming up tomorrow

:32:44.:32:47.

with bitter wind coming up from the continent.

:32:48.:32:48.
