0:00:26 > 0:00:30are condemned by the UN.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33These are shocking and shameful comments from the president

0:01:32 > 0:01:34And coming up in the sport on BBC News...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Ahead of the start of the Australian Open,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38tennis great Billie Jean King has once again called
0:01:38 > 0:01:46for the Margaret Court Arena to be renamed.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09President Donald Trump will not be visiting Britain next month.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12He had been due to attend the official opening of the new US
0:02:12 > 0:02:14embassy in south London.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17He tweeted that he had cancelled the trip because he's "not a big
0:02:17 > 0:02:24fan" of the new embassy, which he said had been commissioned
0:02:24 > 0:02:28by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Downing Street says an invitation for a state visit has been accepted
0:02:31 > 0:02:34but there is no firm date set and insists the "strong and deep
0:02:34 > 0:02:35partnership will endure."
0:02:35 > 0:02:40The president is also under fire from the United Nations which
0:02:40 > 0:02:44criticised his reported crude comments about some countries as
0:02:44 > 0:02:46shocking and racist, although Donald Trump now denies using foul
0:02:46 > 0:02:51language.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56£1 billion of futuristic architecture with a moat for
0:02:56 > 0:03:03security. Now after a lot of will he, 20, Donald Trump will not be
0:03:03 > 0:03:08opening America's new London embassy next month. As ever, the president
0:03:08 > 0:03:13took to Twitter, claiming he had cancelled his trip here because the
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Obama administration had sold the old US embassy for peanuts, only to
0:03:18 > 0:03:26build a new one in an off location for more than $1 billion. Wanted me
0:03:26 > 0:03:31to cut ribbon. No. Perhaps the prospect of this on a much larger
0:03:31 > 0:03:35scale during the visit put the president. The Mayor of London said
0:03:35 > 0:03:39they would have been mass, peaceful protests. Other Labour politicians
0:03:39 > 0:03:46agree.He had the head of state of another country who has not only
0:03:46 > 0:03:50promoted hatred and division in his own country that has surely given
0:03:50 > 0:03:55his online activity guilty of doing the same in the country too.Nigel
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Farage, the first British politician to meet Donald Trump after he was
0:03:59 > 0:04:03elected US president, to assist is bad for Britain.An arrogant
0:04:03 > 0:04:06president, the most pro-British for many years, it is an important
0:04:06 > 0:04:12relationship. -- an American president. I would like to see him
0:04:12 > 0:04:18deal with his critics in open, proper, public debate.What about
0:04:18 > 0:04:23the President's a that the sale of the soon-to-be former US embassy in
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Grosvenor Square in Mayfair was a bad deal? We don't know what Qatari
0:04:28 > 0:04:32investors have paid for a long leasehold on the building. The fact
0:04:32 > 0:04:37it is a great two listed building would have dropped the price. If
0:04:37 > 0:04:42President Trump is offended by some in Britain, many millions in Africa
0:04:42 > 0:04:46and elsewhere are potentially outraged. During a meeting at the
0:04:46 > 0:04:50White House, Donald Trump reportedly made offensive comments about
0:04:50 > 0:04:56developing countries when discussing a deal on immigration. These are
0:04:56 > 0:04:59shocking and shameful comments from the president of the United States.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04I am sorry but there is no other word you can use but racist. You
0:05:04 > 0:05:12cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as Beep. The entire
0:05:12 > 0:05:21populations are not white and therefore not welcome.He or it got
0:05:21 > 0:05:25a very friendly reception this morning. At times the real Donald
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Trump has provoked anger in Britain. For some, this is about the office
0:05:31 > 0:05:34he holds and are very close relationship between our two macro
0:05:34 > 0:05:36countries.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Let's speak to our Washington Correspondent Gary O'Donoghue.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44In terms of those comments, there is very strong words from the United
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Nations. I think Donald Trump has been talking about this in the last
0:05:49 > 0:05:53few minutes.We have had what I think is a denial, that he used
0:05:53 > 0:05:59these terms he has just tweeted this. The language used by me was
0:05:59 > 0:06:05tough but this was not the language used. If that is a denial, it goes
0:06:05 > 0:06:10against what is said last night at the White House who did not deny he
0:06:10 > 0:06:14used that obscenity during the meeting. In fact they defended his
0:06:14 > 0:06:17sentiment during that meeting. We will see during the day whether or
0:06:17 > 0:06:22not he did actually say that. In multiple sources, it has been said
0:06:22 > 0:06:27he did. What is interesting also is a senior Republicans here have not
0:06:27 > 0:06:32come out in numbers to condemn this. The leadership of the Republican
0:06:32 > 0:06:42Party has been absolutely silent. Even the only African-American
0:06:42 > 0:06:45senator, Republican Senator, Tim Scott, he said it was disappointing
0:06:45 > 0:06:50to say the least. The criticism from the Republican side was quite muted,
0:06:50 > 0:06:55even though you have the UN and Democrats condemning out right this
0:06:55 > 0:06:58use of language and I think poisoning potential negotiations
0:06:58 > 0:07:01that are going on at the moment between Republicans and Democrats,
0:07:01 > 0:07:07to fight -- to try to find a fix for the young people who are here
0:07:07 > 0:07:12through no fault of their own.Thank you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The role played by the media is to be examined by the Manchester
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Arena bombing inquiry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:2122 people were killed at the end of an Ariana Grande concert last May.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27Some families who used social media to appeal for information
0:07:27 > 0:07:29about missing relatives found themselves subjected
0:07:29 > 0:07:30to intrusive attention.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Judith Moritz reports.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39The Manchester Arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were
0:07:39 > 0:07:44lost and many more were changed forever. The attack made
0:07:44 > 0:07:49international headlines. That meant there was huge media interest in the
0:07:49 > 0:07:59stories of those most closely affected. They included the family
0:07:59 > 0:08:03of Martyn Het. He had previously been on TV, possibly as a result his
0:08:03 > 0:08:07family found themselves in the spotlight from almost the very
0:08:07 > 0:08:12moment they heard about the explosion and before they knew that
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Martin had died.People were coming around, knocking on the door and
0:08:16 > 0:08:21ringing the bell and saying, sorry for your loss. Would you like to
0:08:21 > 0:08:27comment? He was not even officially dead yet. How can anyone be so cruel
0:08:27 > 0:08:33and say, sorry for your loss? We did not find out officially till that
0:08:33 > 0:08:37evening that he was dead.The way the emergency services responded to
0:08:37 > 0:08:42the attack is already being reviewed by an independent panel. Now it will
0:08:42 > 0:08:45also examine the role in which the media played during the aftermath.
0:08:45 > 0:08:52We want to say what we need to learn is that much of the media handled
0:08:52 > 0:08:56families in a very respectful way. We have heard examples where that
0:08:56 > 0:09:02was not the case and we think this needs to be explored and understood.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07The families of those who died in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster lost
0:09:07 > 0:09:12their relatives in very different but equally public circumstances.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Their experience has inspired a charter for families bereaved
0:09:15 > 0:09:21through public tragedy.Give them the truth as early as possible.The
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Manchester Arena review team want organisations to sign up and put the
0:09:25 > 0:09:30needs of such families for their own reputations.What happened 30 years
0:09:30 > 0:09:34or so ago is still, in many cases, there are echoes of it still today.
0:09:34 > 0:09:41We have seen that possibly with the Grenfell Tower incident. It is an
0:09:41 > 0:09:49instinct to look internally at issues before telling the wider
0:09:49 > 0:09:56truth about what happened.In March, the full review into the city's
0:09:56 > 0:10:01response to the attack will be published, eight months after these
0:10:01 > 0:10:0922 people died, their families lives are still dominated by the tragedy.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12A study of women with breast cancer suggests that having a double
0:10:12 > 0:10:14mastectomy doesn't increase the chances of survival in younger
0:10:14 > 0:10:16patients who have the BRCA gene.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18The research also found that women treated for breast cancer had
0:10:18 > 0:10:21the same survival rates, irrespective of whether they had
0:10:21 > 0:10:28the BRCA gene mutation.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Our Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh is with me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40This is quite reassuring news. More than 2700 British women were
0:10:40 > 0:10:45followed over a decade for that it found that no matter what treatment
0:10:45 > 0:10:49they had, if they had a double mastectomy or if they had, or did
0:10:49 > 0:10:54not
0:10:54 > 0:10:58not have, the BRCA gene mutation, survival chances were very good up
0:10:58 > 0:11:03to 80% over ten years. A lot of young women, and this is young women
0:11:03 > 0:11:08aged between 16 and 40, if they are carrying this faulty BRCA gene, they
0:11:08 > 0:11:12are offered the chance of having a double mastectomy for Tbilisi is
0:11:12 > 0:11:16getting it young and they had this faulty genes it could be a very
0:11:16 > 0:11:20aggressive form of breast cancer. This will give them more treatment
0:11:20 > 0:11:25choices because it will not be necessarily in that interests to
0:11:25 > 0:11:30have a double mastectomy that early on in their treatment.What is being
0:11:30 > 0:11:35said about prevention?What does this tell us? Completely separately
0:11:35 > 0:11:39from that, about one in 800 women carry this faulty BRCA gene for that
0:11:39 > 0:11:43they often find out because they have a mother, an aunt or a sister
0:11:43 > 0:11:48who has gone on to get breast cancer. They get tested and find
0:11:48 > 0:11:54they have the BRCA gene and do not have breast cancer. Many, like the
0:11:54 > 0:11:59actress Angelina Jolie, decide to have a double mastectomy. This is
0:11:59 > 0:12:04totally separate from that. That will probably continue. There is one
0:12:04 > 0:12:08limitation on this study. Only about 5% of breast cancer cases occur in
0:12:08 > 0:12:13that very young age group. We do not know about the long-term survival of
0:12:13 > 0:12:17women with breast cancer who get it at a much older age are more
0:12:17 > 0:12:23commonly say at the menopause or later.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25A huge fire engulfed a section of Nottingham railway
0:12:25 > 0:12:27station this morning.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33which began at about 6.30am.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35No-one was injured, but trains are still not stopping
0:12:35 > 0:12:38at the station and travellers are being warned to avoid the area.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Phil Mackie reports.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42The severe fire rapidly spread through the recently renovated
0:12:42 > 0:12:45station at the start of this morning's rush-hour.
0:12:45 > 0:12:4860 firefighters were called to deal with the blaze
0:12:48 > 0:12:52while passengers and staff were safely evacuated.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Our crews were in attendance very quickly and managed
0:12:56 > 0:12:59to put in place measures to, A, protect lives, and, B, do everything
0:12:59 > 0:13:00they can to protect the building.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I've got firefighters here that have served 20-plus years and have said
0:13:04 > 0:13:08the heat they were exposed to heat the likes of which they had never
0:13:08 > 0:13:14experienced before.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It was a significant fire.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It spread into an area difficult to get to,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20meaning it took several hours to get the fire under control.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22This is where the fire started at 6:30am
0:13:22 > 0:13:24this morning, in the main concourse.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You can still smell the smoke in the air right now.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The fire station is quite close by so they got here
0:13:29 > 0:13:32quickly and they evacuated very fast.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36It is still causing knock-on effects for the rail network, not
0:13:36 > 0:13:39just in the Midlands, but elsewhere in the country, too.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41The station is closed until further notice, rail and tram
0:13:41 > 0:13:43services continue to be affected in Nottingham.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And the disruption is causing problems over much wider area.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Obviously I have come down, speaking to the officer, the train
0:13:48 > 0:13:50station is still closed and he diverted me here
0:13:50 > 0:13:52and now I'm going to find out
0:13:52 > 0:13:54if I can actually get a coach to Lincoln.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Thousands of people are affected by this.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00It's not a little village station, it's the main station
0:14:00 > 0:14:05for the Midlands, basically, isn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07So loads of people have been affected.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Crazy.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10The fire is now under control, the joint police
0:14:10 > 0:14:18and fire investigation has been launched.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21A surgeon, who marked his initials on the livers of two patients, has
0:14:21 > 0:14:23been fined £10,000 and given a 12-month community order.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Simon Bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault
0:14:29 > 0:14:31in December.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The organs were branded in 2013 while the patients
0:14:33 > 0:14:35were undergoing liver transplants at the Queen Elizabeth
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Hospital in Birmingham.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42Sima Kotecha reports.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Simon Bramhall, once the respected surgeon, now a convicted criminal.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Today he was given a £10,000 fine and a community service order after
0:14:51 > 0:14:55pleading guilty to assaulting two macro patients by marking his
0:14:55 > 0:14:59initials on their livers. His victims were undergoing liver
0:14:59 > 0:15:03transplants at the time. It was here, at the Queen Elizabeth
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Hospital in Birmingham, where he committed his offences. He marked
0:15:07 > 0:15:13the livers in 2013 and a year later, after a disciplinary hearing, he
0:15:13 > 0:15:17resigned from his post. The hospital says it can reassure his patients
0:15:17 > 0:15:22they suffered no harm because of what he did. One of his other
0:15:22 > 0:15:26patients, who also underwent a transplant by him more than ten
0:15:26 > 0:15:30years ago, is adamant the surgeon should not be punished.When all is
0:15:30 > 0:15:35said and done, and artist finds his work. That is what he has done. The
0:15:35 > 0:15:39difficulty in surgery and everything you have to do with it, 13 plus
0:15:39 > 0:15:44hours of standing in concentrating on something, it is amazing. So,
0:15:44 > 0:15:50signing his work is just his way of showing the artwork done.Simon
0:15:50 > 0:15:56Bramhall branded SB on the organs with an Aga and beam, he'd injecting
0:15:56 > 0:16:03procedure usually used to stop any bleeding. This is compared with a
0:16:03 > 0:16:06minor external burns. The fact there is the high level of trust, the
0:16:06 > 0:16:10abuse of the trust and the vulnerability of patience and harm
0:16:10 > 0:16:17and distress caused by his actions and the importance the public have
0:16:17 > 0:16:22confidence in their surgeons, that trust will be respected, which it
0:16:22 > 0:16:26invariably is. It is important the message goes out when that is
0:16:26 > 0:16:31breached, as it is here, action will be taken to hold him to account. He
0:16:31 > 0:16:35was caught after other surgeons found markings on livers he had
0:16:35 > 0:16:38transplanted. He betrayed the trust of patients and took advantage of
0:16:38 > 0:16:42them when they were at their most vulnerable. Now it is up to the
0:16:42 > 0:16:45General medical Council to decide whether he will be struck off or
0:16:45 > 0:16:52allowed to continue doing the job he loves.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Its 16 minutes past one.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Our top story this lunchtime:
0:16:56 > 0:16:58President Trump abandons plans to come to Britain
0:16:58 > 0:17:00to open the new US embassy, but Downing Street says
0:17:00 > 0:17:06the invitation for a state visit has been accepted.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07And still to come:

0:17:10 > 0:17:18meet Sigrid from Norway, who's been taking the airwaves by storm.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Coming up in sport, after 12 years at Arsenal -
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Theo Walcott could well be on his way out of
0:17:24 > 0:17:26the club this January.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Everton boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed the teams have
0:17:28 > 0:17:36entered negotiations over a permanent transfer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The Queen has been talking about some of the challenges
0:17:41 > 0:17:44she faced at her Coronation in 1953, including the weight
0:17:44 > 0:17:49of the Imperial State Crown.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52She's been speaking to the royal commentator Alastair Bruce for a BBC
0:17:52 > 0:17:56programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58A key piece of advice from Her Majesty -
0:17:58 > 0:18:01just in case you ever need to know - is don't look down;
0:18:01 > 0:18:04as our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07She famously doesn't do interviews.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11This is probably as close as she'll get.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14A conversation with questions about the Coronation, the Crown
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Jewels, and the Imperial State Crown worn by her and her father,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19King George VI.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Fortunately, my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Once you put it on, it stays.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It just remains itself.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30You have to keep your head very still?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Yes.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32It was huge then.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Very unwieldy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40You can't look down to read a speech, you have take the speech up
0:18:40 > 0:18:46because, if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It is difficult to always remember that diamonds are stones,
0:18:48 > 0:18:49there are so very heavy.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yes.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54There are some disadvantages to crowns.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58But, otherwise, they are quite important things.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00She rode to her coronation in the Gold State coach.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01It weighs four tons.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It's not built for comfort.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Horrible.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10It's not meant for travelling in at all.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12It's only sprung on leather.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14So, it rocks around a lot.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's not very comfortable.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Were you in it for a long time?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Halfway round London.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Really?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25We must have gone about four or five miles -
0:19:25 > 0:19:27we can only go walking pace.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Horses couldn't possibly go any faster.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32It's so heavy.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3565 years after the event, a monarch talking about
0:19:35 > 0:19:37her coronation - the Crown - the real one.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46You can watch more about what the Queen had to say in the BBC
0:19:46 > 0:19:48documentary 'The Coronation' - which will be shown on Sunday
0:19:48 > 0:19:51evening, at 8 o'clock on BBC One.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54There's been a breakthrough in marathon talks aimed at reviving
0:19:54 > 0:19:58a grand coalition in Germany between the Chancellor,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats and their rivals, the Social
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Democrats.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The two sides have reached a preliminary deal and are now
0:20:04 > 0:20:06expected to discuss a detailed programme for government.
0:20:06 > 0:20:14Jenny Hill is in Berlin.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Very lengthy talks, do we think there is an absolute deal now,
0:20:19 > 0:20:24explain what has happened.After marathon overnight talks fuelled
0:20:24 > 0:20:29largely we are told by Currie burst, Angela Merkel emerged looking
0:20:29 > 0:20:35exhausted but triumphant to brief reporters. She has clinched this
0:20:35 > 0:20:39deal, achieving compromise on sticky policy areas like health, finance
0:20:39 > 0:20:44and rather predictably refugee policy. But she knows she's not out
0:20:44 > 0:20:48of the woods yet. That is because these were just exploratory talks.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54This success means that now formal coalition negotiations can go ahead
0:20:54 > 0:20:59but before they do, and this is the problem, would-be coalition partners
0:20:59 > 0:21:03the social Democrats have two as a party vote on if they want to let
0:21:03 > 0:21:06that happen. The problem with that is that many within the part,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10bearing in mind they were in coalition with the Conservatives in
0:21:10 > 0:21:14the last term, blame Angela Merkel for an appalling election result in
0:21:14 > 0:21:18September and did not want to go back into coalition with her, they
0:21:18 > 0:21:26think it would be disastrous for the party now. There is a lot of
0:21:26 > 0:21:28persuading to do, Angela Merkel this morning admitting that tricky times
0:21:28 > 0:21:31lay ahead. And the social Democrats also reserve the right to veto at
0:21:31 > 0:21:38the very end of this process any coalition agreement. So a short-term
0:21:38 > 0:21:43success for Angela Merkel but this whole period has left weakened. Her
0:21:43 > 0:21:46party is looking at potential successors. I'm not saying it is the
0:21:46 > 0:21:51end of Angela Merkel but there is a sense that we are looking at the
0:21:51 > 0:21:55beginning of the end of the Angela era.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The Government is being urged by unions to bring contracts
0:21:57 > 0:22:00from the construction giant Carillion back into public control,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02amid fears that the company is close to collapse.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Carillion, which employs nearly 20,000 people in the UK,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07has issued a number of profits warnings in the last few months.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's a major supplier to the Government and has contracts
0:22:09 > 0:22:11in the rail industry, education and the NHS.
0:22:11 > 0:22:19Our business editor, Simon Jack, is with me.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25Just how much trouble is Carillion in?A lot, it is £1.5 billion in
0:22:25 > 0:22:29debt, it is running out of cash and need hundreds of millions more. It's
0:22:29 > 0:22:34a very hard company to sell as one of its competitors told me when I
0:22:34 > 0:22:37asked if they fancy buying it, they said if we wanted a loss-making
0:22:37 > 0:22:43contract we can write our own. And it has over half £1 billion pension
0:22:43 > 0:22:47deficit. There have been talks all week, that is the focus today, the
0:22:47 > 0:22:50pensions regulator talking to creditors of the company to figure
0:22:50 > 0:22:55out if it does collapse how much money the pension scheme which has
0:22:55 > 0:22:5920,000 people will get. We had ministers from all over government
0:22:59 > 0:23:06converging to talk about this, people from justice and health, the
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Department for Transport of course, the Business Secretary and the
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Treasury, it shows how sensitive this company is, everyone trying to
0:23:10 > 0:23:15figure out a way out of this mess. There is a possibility it could end
0:23:15 > 0:23:18up with the government having to support some of these contract in
0:23:18 > 0:23:23the short term because the banks which are owed £1.5 billion and are
0:23:23 > 0:23:27being asked for more are reluctant to put more money in and they are in
0:23:27 > 0:23:31control and at any point could put it into administration. Some would
0:23:31 > 0:23:34argue that it was not quite a sensitive company they would have
0:23:34 > 0:23:39already done that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Facebook has announced what it says is a major change to its news feed -
0:23:43 > 0:23:45prioritising posts from family and friends, over those from media
0:23:45 > 0:23:47organisations and businesses.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Our media correspondent David Sillito reports.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg had a New Year's
0:23:50 > 0:23:52resolution for 2018.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Fix Facebook.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So what is he trying to fix?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00To understand what this is all about, let me log
0:24:00 > 0:24:02into my own Facebook here.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05So this is my personal feed and when I scrolled down
0:24:05 > 0:24:07what have we got here?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Some BBC science news.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Bathrooms advert.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11More news.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Some local news.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And, oh, more video news.
0:24:18 > 0:24:26I'm sure I do have some friends and family but I haven't seen them yet.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28The algorithm, the computer programme that selects what you see
0:24:28 > 0:24:31pushes news stories and sponsored content and viral videos
0:24:31 > 0:24:39to the top of your news feed.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Your cousin's holiday snaps can often end up being buried.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43What created Facebook, what made Facebook huge,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45was that it became the venue for social interaction,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47it became the one place you could talk to your friends,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50your parents, your grandparents even and you could share
0:24:50 > 0:24:51those important photos, those moments in life.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53And I think it started to lose that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It's going back to that, which almost accidentally created
0:24:55 > 0:24:57such an enormous business model.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58I think that's what it's got to do.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01We are the goose that lays the golden egg.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Of course some newspapers and media companies are furious that
0:25:04 > 0:25:10their content and the advertising money they make off the back of it
0:25:10 > 0:25:13of it will not be pushed at you quite so aggressively.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18But there's also another issue.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Facebook's been seen as enemy number one in spreading fake news.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Some of those stories and videos you see are completely fabricated.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Others have sent people down a rabbit hole of extremist content.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30The Facebook brand has taken a bit of a knock.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I think part of the problem with Facebook is that saying
0:25:33 > 0:25:35which comes to mind, with great power comes
0:25:35 > 0:25:36great responsibility.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I think this is a great example of them trying to show
0:25:39 > 0:25:41that they are up to the challenge.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43They have been burned because of the issues with things
0:25:43 > 0:25:46like the Trump elections and interference with the Russian
0:25:46 > 0:25:48advertisers and things like that.
0:25:48 > 0:25:56And there is also the other issue.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59The more you sit and watch rather than type and share,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00the less Facebook knows about us.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02And that information is worth billions.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04David Sillitoe, BBC News.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09An amateur boxer who's represented England six times
0:26:09 > 0:26:11is facing deportation, after being told he has no leave
0:26:11 > 0:26:12to remain in the UK.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15After winning several amateur titles Bilal Fawaz was offered the chance
0:26:15 > 0:26:17to turn professional but instead he's fighting to stay
0:26:17 > 0:26:19in the country he calls home.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Azi Farni went to meet him.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26As an amateur boxer Bilal Fawaz has enjoyed great success but his
0:26:26 > 0:26:31biggest fight so far has been outside of the ring. Born in Nigeria
0:26:31 > 0:26:35his life was turned upside down when as a young child his mother was
0:26:35 > 0:26:39killed. He was sent to the UK and told he was meeting his father. But
0:26:39 > 0:26:43when he arrived in London he realised he'd been tricked.I was
0:26:43 > 0:26:46kept in a house and I wasn't allowed to go to school, I was not allowed
0:26:46 > 0:26:53to go out. For a significant amount of time I contemplated running away
0:26:53 > 0:26:58and I finally summoned the courage to actually do that.He was put into
0:26:58 > 0:27:02foster care, at 18 he started making asylum applications to stay in the
0:27:02 > 0:27:06UK. He was arrested for minor offences then turned his life
0:27:06 > 0:27:10around.I made a beautiful lady and she changed me, she changed my
0:27:10 > 0:27:15perspective on life. I went to college, I studied, I got national
0:27:15 > 0:27:20diploma in sports science, three days at A-level. I find boxing and
0:27:20 > 0:27:24boxing helped me.His success in amateur boxing legend to an
0:27:24 > 0:27:28invitation to train at the Team GB boxing headquarters in Sheffield.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31They told me they would like to represent them and fight for them.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37Go through qualification where I would be picked for the Olympics. I
0:27:37 > 0:27:41was gutted, I was devastated because I knew I couldn't go further. Not
0:27:41 > 0:27:46because I didn't want to but because I didn't have a country, I didn't
0:27:46 > 0:27:50have a passport.With his asylum applications denied he was arrested
0:27:50 > 0:27:53last month by immigration officers at his gym and is currently out on
0:27:53 > 0:27:58bail with his case ongoing. The Home Office says he has no leave to
0:27:58 > 0:28:02remain in the UK. Immigration rules are set in stone and anyone can read
0:28:02 > 0:28:06them so why should you be any different?I should be treated any
0:28:06 > 0:28:12different because I am just like any other asylum seeker or any other
0:28:12 > 0:28:17person trying to survive. So I'm not special, I don't think am special.
0:28:17 > 0:28:24But I work hard. I work really hard. And at times working hard is enough
0:28:24 > 0:28:28to give someone a second chance.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Don't Kill My Vibe, Strangers, Plot Twist.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Some of the biggest pop songs of the last year.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36And the young voice behind them, Norwegian singer Sigrid,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38has just been named winner of the coveted BBC
0:28:38 > 0:28:46Music Sound Of 2018.
0:28:48 > 0:28:59# Just like in the movies # The smooth soothing sound of Sigrid.
0:28:59 > 0:29:09# Broken beauties # So composed and in control.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15# When the curtain drops
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Greene. Most of the time. In the BBC Sound of 2018 lest you are the
0:29:20 > 0:29:30winner.What?Number one. LAUGHTER What does it mean to you to have won
0:29:30 > 0:29:36this?Of course you are asking that question when I am about to cry! How
0:29:36 > 0:29:44do you describe that? It means a lot.We welcome Sigrid!She's been
0:29:44 > 0:29:47steadily gaining support for the last 12 months gathering fans from
0:29:47 > 0:29:56Jools Holland. # Don't kill my vibe #
0:29:56 > 0:30:05# Don't kill my vibe # . To thousands at Glastonbury.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10# Would you stay with me # Previous winners include the likes
0:30:10 > 0:30:18of Sam Smith and Adele who were also relatively unknown when the won. No
0:30:18 > 0:30:24Sigrid is following in their footsteps. She is also another huge
0:30:24 > 0:30:27talent to emerge from Scandinavia.I think Scandinavian musicians are
0:30:27 > 0:30:33good at melodies. Because English is our second language and I think that
0:30:33 > 0:30:37creates that barrier where you have to concentrate a lot about the
0:30:37 > 0:30:43melody.Melodies which have helped win this industry accolade.I am
0:30:43 > 0:30:49very lucky and happy and it's a great way to start this year.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Time for a look at the weather.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Here's Helen Willetts.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59I am fed up of the gloomy weather, I don't know about you, I am glad of
0:30:59 > 0:31:03the change which is coming, the process as it does is wet and windy
0:31:03 > 0:31:07weather so get through that first but then as we go into next week
0:31:07 > 0:31:10we'll see sunshine again. It will be much colder and we start to worry
0:31:10 > 0:31:15about and ice but some sunshine eventually. We had some in Norfolk
0:31:15 > 0:31:20today, not much all week but we still have the fog problems. More so
0:31:20 > 0:31:24for Northern England and parts of the Midlands, you can see the weak
0:31:24 > 0:31:27weather front run down the spine of the country so either side of that
0:31:27 > 0:31:33we see the best of the sunshine. The fog has cleared. Why? The winds
0:31:33 > 0:31:37strengthening ahead of this weather front which will start the changes
0:31:37 > 0:31:41to our weather or the process at least as we go through tonight and
0:31:41 > 0:31:44the weekend. It's a slow process, we have to live with the grey weather
0:31:44 > 0:31:50through the weekend, touch and go, there will be fog returning in
0:31:50 > 0:31:53parts, perhaps Scotland and across Eastern and central parts of the UK
0:31:53 > 0:31:57but for the West by Don we have spots of rain in Devon and Cornwall.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Different from the sunshine we are seeing at the moment and also across
0:32:00 > 0:32:05the West of Wales. Graver different reasons for the East, the rain with
0:32:05 > 0:32:12strong wind on and off Match of the Day Northern Ireland. For Northern
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Scotland once the Foston frock clears we should have the lines
0:32:15 > 0:32:20share of the sunshine. We have a bit more breeze hopefully the Clyde will
0:32:20 > 0:32:24be about high and it won't be so gloomy and the Faugheen will lift
0:32:24 > 0:32:29more readily but again not expecting an abundance of sunshine. Cabbage is
0:32:29 > 0:32:32on a par with recent days. As we go through tomorrow evening and
0:32:32 > 0:32:37tomorrow night little rain left by the time they get to Sunday morning
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and by that time we might have the fog returning to Northern Ireland.
0:32:40 > 0:32:47Again a bit chilly, by and large a lot of cloud, we have got the
0:32:47 > 0:32:52remnants of two week weather fronts, drizzly rain, this is the main
0:32:52 > 0:32:56player late in the day, the next weather front sweeping up the week
0:32:56 > 0:33:01weather front and moving south during Sunday night. Wet weather for
0:33:01 > 0:33:06virtually all of us and look at the tightly packed isobars. It's behind
0:33:06 > 0:33:10that the Arctic air moves southwards right across the country and we
0:33:10 > 0:33:14start to worry about ice and snow. Look at the wind, it will feel much
0:33:14 > 0:33:20colder but at least we will see some sunshine.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25Before we go, just to tell you Scotland Yard says a 27-year-old
0:33:25 > 0:33:30female UK national has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of
0:33:30 > 0:33:33preparing terrorist acts. More on that on
