America will build a wall on the Mexican border,

says President Trump, as he prepares to unveil plans

He's expected to set in motion his election pledge

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

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

immigration and impose tougher visa regulations on a number

We will have the latest from Washington and from Mexico.

Also on the programme this lunchtime....

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

Paper published to this house. A climb-down for the Prime Minister

as Theresa May says she will publish her plan for Brexit in a white paper

for parliament's scrutiny. High heels, make up

telling me? This is not Lego. It's trying to be Lego, is my assessment

of it. Out of Vogue - after

Alexandra Shulman, And coming up in the

Britain's Joanna Konta to be a future Australian Open champion -

despite knocking her out in Good afternoon, and welcome

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

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

pre-election promises to crack down on immigration, and

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

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

the number of refugees allowed into the US,

and tighten visa controls on visitors from a number

of predominantly Muslim countries. Opponents have reacted

with alarm to the plans, as David Willis now

reports from Washington. We're going to have our

borders nice and strong. It was the soundtrack

to Donald Trump's unorthodox campaign for president -

a call to build a wall along America's southern

border with Mexico. Now he seems set to press ahead

with measures he believes are vital to stemming the illegal flow

of immigrants into The President on his

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

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

has refused to do so. TRANSLATION: We recognise

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

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

a neighbouring country to pay We have said many times

that this is unacceptable. It's the clear position

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

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

executive orders, closing America's borders to refugees,

and limiting access to citizens from seven African and

Middle Eastern countries - countries the administration

believes export terrorism. They're mainly Muslim countries,

but the mantra of the Trump A country that traditionally

has opened its doors to immigrants is about to head

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

politicians to ordinary people up and down the country reject this

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

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

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

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

lowest popularity figures of any Mexican President for two decades.

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

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

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

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

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

you. And we can speak to our

correspondent in Washington, President Trump has promised a lot

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

particularly because they are predominantly Muslim country. The

lawyers could say it is discriminating on religious grounds

and that is unconstitutional. Thank you, both.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of leaving the EU. A bizarre political correspondent.

-- here is our political correspondent.

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

Prime Minister, forcing her to consult parliament before starting

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

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

Order, questions to the Prime Minister.

But today she sought to seize the initiative with an unexpected

announcement. I can confirm to the house that our

plan will be set out in a White Paper.

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

central demand of the opposition. The Labour leaders struggle to

rethink his attack. Because we know when this like paper

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

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

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

deal. C and others asked for a White

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

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

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

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

determined that it would mean cutting taxes on big business.

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

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

us into the bargain basement she clearly threatens?

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

improvement for starting formal Brexit negotiations. Ministers are

confident they can get it through without significant setbacks. But

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

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

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

Downing Street have repeatedly rebuffed the idea of publishing a

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

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

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

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

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

May was perhaps always planning to make. Because governments almost

always published a White Paper before they going to negotiations

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

you sense that for many conservatives, this will keep them

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

opposition politicians to vote against Mrs May and demanded White

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you. A man has been arrested

in connection with alleged threats against the campaigner Gina Miller,

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

London's Knightsbridge this morning. Our legal correspondent,

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

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

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

suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communication. The arrest

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

Miller. She's the woman who successfully challenged the

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

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

It relates to threats made online and a second unrelated comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

but anything you can probably imagine is what I've

Then there have been particular death threats

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

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

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

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

was released on bail. Clive, thank you.

David Cameron has called for more funding for dementia

research as he revealed that he is the new president of

The former Prime Minister says the focus on Alzheimers research

lags too far behind that for cancer and strokes.

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

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

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

being enforced properly, according to a group of MPs.

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

at an accountancy firm for not wearing high heeled shoes,

while the same company had no dress code for men.

When MPs began to investigate the story, they were inundated

with complaints from women with similar experiences.

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

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

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

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

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

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

professional, but to look attractive.

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

wearing crippling pain and thought being forced to wear heels was

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Definitely not. Looking smart is subjective. Wearing flat shoes

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

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

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

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

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

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

heels has highlighted the tyranny some women feel subjected to over

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

sure they comes into work in the shoes they choose.

As the cold snap continues, reports of a sharp rise

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

Some of the most famous high street brands are losing out

on billions of pounds in trade, because of counterfeiters.

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

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

Billions and billions of these little plastic bricks have been sold

But they are not the only ones doing it.

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

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

So how easy is it to spot the difference?

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

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

The truth is, they look and feel almost identical.

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

There's been a big increase in the number

of people sleeping rough - with more than half the councils

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

year - a 16% increase on the year before.

The homelessness charity Crisis says the numbers are going up

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

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

Yeah, I've got virtually everything I need.

The number of rough sleepers in England has increased

Local authority counts and estimates show that in autumnm 2015

But counts carried out in November last year show

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

He said that he was in a lot of pain.

He said he had actually been assaulted in the night.

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

We were told he was discharged later that day.

Some charities blame council cuts for putting more vulnerable

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

six years which they say have led to fewer services.

Homelessness is affected by austerity, the cuts that have

come down from nationally, the cuts to the NHS,

local authorities and also those in terms of benefit caps,

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

by partnership work, we are working with key agencies,

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

Four school children, all under the age of 13,

have been taken to hospital after taking cocaine,

It happened at Broadstone Middle School at Poole in Dorset.

Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is there.

A strange and potentially very disturbing incident. It happened on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

no suggestion that the children ingested anything. The police are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

February and their enquiries are continuing. No further details of

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

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

this was cocaine. Women MPs say they're experiencing

unprecedented levels Around two thirds said

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

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

with more than half of those questioned by the BBC saying

they had had physical threats. Our political correspondent,

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

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

women into Parliament. The first female MP to take

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

representation in Parliament, but now modern women MPs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

threats and violence. Jo Cox was murdered outside her

constituency surgery last June. Such threats are of course faced

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

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

received a physical threat I've had death threats

towards myself and my family, one of which the police

are investigating. And one where an extremely graphic

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

you know, for the life I have young children,

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

I hold my surgeries. Tulip Siddique, begrudgingly, now

makes sure she has security whenever Well, this building

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

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

picture and certainly the majority of MPs we spoke to say

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

off good new people, good new women, from

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

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

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

despite the difficulties, the job is a privilege and well

worth the flak. She's the editor who persuaded

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

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

stepping down from the job She's been in charge

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the magazine business. Online now offers alternative ways for people

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

fashion. She rather stood out for being strangely normal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

counties of England. Pretty cloudy across Northern Ireland with some

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

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

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

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

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

Wales and even some frost possible in Scotland but Northern Ireland

stays frost free. The coldest temperatures again in the

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

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

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

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

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

direction. And eventually across western and southern areas we should

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

with bitter wind coming up from the continent.
