President Trump says he's

prepared to apologise

0:00:060:00:09

for retweeting inflammatory videos

from a British far-right group.

0:00:090:00:15

In an interview in advance of his

address to the World Economic Forum

0:00:150:00:19

in Davos, he says he knew nothing

about Britain First.

0:00:190:00:23

If you're telling me

they were horrible people,

0:00:230:00:25

horrible racist people,

I would certainly apologise

0:00:250:00:27

if you'd like me to do that.

0:00:270:00:29

I know nothing about them.

0:00:290:00:35

We'll have the very

latest from Davos,

0:00:350:00:41

where the President is just

about to begin his speech.

0:00:410:00:43

Also this lunchtime...

0:00:430:00:44

The UK economy grew faster

than expected in the last

0:00:440:00:47

three months of 2017,

thanks to an increase

0:00:470:00:49

in the services sector.

0:00:490:00:53

A pay cut for some of the BBC's top

male news presenters

0:00:530:00:56

following revelations

about unequal pay.

0:00:560:00:59

One of them says that it is the

right thing to do.

0:00:590:01:04

I think it all needs to be sorted

out and I support my female

0:01:040:01:08

colleagues who've rightly said

that they should be paid the same

0:01:080:01:10

when they are doing the same job.

0:01:100:01:12

It's just a no-brainer.

0:01:120:01:13

So, it wasn't a problem for me.

0:01:130:01:15

Downing Street says

the Prime Minister has full

0:01:150:01:17

confidence in her Chancellor -

after Philip Hammond said there may

0:01:170:01:20

be only a modest change to the trade

relationship between Britain

0:01:200:01:23

and the EU after Brexit.

0:01:230:01:25

And the British Paralympic champion,

Sophie Hahn, responds for the first

0:01:250:01:32

time to claims that she gained

unfair advantage in competition

0:01:320:01:34

because of her classification.

0:01:340:01:37

And in the sport on BBC News,

Roger Federer has reached

0:01:370:01:39

the Australian Open final

after his opponent,

0:01:390:01:41

21-year-old Hyeon Chung,

retired due to blistering

0:01:410:01:43

on his feet.

0:01:430:01:46

Good afternoon and welcome

to the BBC News at One.

0:02:060:02:08

President Trump, who is about

to address delegates

0:02:080:02:11

at the World Economic Forum

in Davos, has said he's prepared

0:02:110:02:14

to apologise for retweeting

inflammatory posts by the far-right

0:02:140:02:16

group Britain First.

0:02:160:02:21

He told ITV that he knew nothing

about the organisation at the time

0:02:210:02:24

of his tweets in November.

0:02:240:02:26

President Trump is the first

US President to attend

0:02:260:02:29

Davos in 18 years.

0:02:290:02:31

His speech has just begun,

and we'll have more about that

0:02:310:02:34

later in the programme.

0:02:340:02:35

First, this report

is from our diplomatic

0:02:350:02:37

correspondent, James Robbins.

0:02:370:02:44

The President is revelling

in his dominance of Davos.

0:02:440:02:47

Donald Trump started out

by dismissing reports that he had

0:02:470:02:50

tried last June to sack

Richard Mueller, the man

0:02:500:02:53

heading the investigation

into Russian interference

0:02:530:02:54

in the 2016 presidential election.

0:02:540:02:58

Did you fire Mueller?

0:02:580:03:01

Did you fire Robert Mueller?

0:03:010:03:03

Fake news, folks, fake news.

0:03:030:03:05

What's your message today?

0:03:050:03:06

Typical New York Times fake stories.

0:03:060:03:08

That's not quite the same

as an outright denial, of course.

0:03:080:03:10

Mr President...

0:03:100:03:15

But in an interview

with Piers Morgan,

0:03:150:03:17

the President did come

close

0:03:170:03:18

to an uncharacteristic apology.

0:03:180:03:20

Donald Trump regretted

his retweeting of posts

0:03:200:03:24

from a British far-right group,

which prompted a rebuke

0:03:240:03:26

at the time from Theresa May.

0:03:260:03:28

It was done because I am a big

believer in fighting

0:03:280:03:31

radical Islamic terror.

0:03:310:03:34

This was a depiction

of radical Islamic terror.

0:03:340:03:38

They were unverified videota...

0:03:380:03:41

At least one of them

was not what it seems.

0:03:410:03:43

Well, they are.

0:03:430:03:44

But this was...

0:03:440:03:45

I didn't do it,

I didn't go out and...

0:03:450:03:47

I did a retweet.

0:03:470:03:48

It was a big story where

you are, but it was not

0:03:480:03:51

a big story where I am.

0:03:510:03:53

I get that.

0:03:530:03:54

Can I get an apology out of you just

for the retweets...?

0:03:540:03:57

Well, if you're telling me...

0:03:570:03:58

I think it would go a long way.

Here's what's fair.

0:03:580:04:01

If you're telling me

that's horrible people,

0:04:010:04:02

horrible racist people...

0:04:020:04:03

Yeah.

0:04:030:04:04

I would certainly apologise

if you'd like me to do that.

0:04:040:04:07

I know nothing about them.

0:04:070:04:08

And you would disavow yourself

of people like that?

0:04:080:04:10

I don't want to be

involved with people...

0:04:100:04:12

But you're telling me

about these people.

0:04:120:04:14

Yeah.

0:04:140:04:15

Because I know nothing

about these people.

0:04:150:04:17

All of which reinforces

his peacemaking with

0:04:170:04:18

Theresa May yesterday.

0:04:180:04:20

But the President's main motive

for coming to Switzerland

0:04:200:04:22

and the World Economic Forum,

to speak directly to

0:04:220:04:24

many of the richest,

most powerful business leaders

0:04:240:04:26

and opinion formers.

0:04:260:04:27

Ahead of his big speech,

many profoundly disagree

0:04:270:04:31

with Donald Trump's non-global

approach, but can't ignore America's

0:04:310:04:33

immense economic weight.

0:04:330:04:38

You have to be open and fair

to Trump, you have to tell him

0:04:380:04:41

that he all made us a bit richer,

compared to 12 months ago,

0:04:410:04:44

so for that we should thank him.

0:04:440:04:46

I don't have so many great

expectation, I'm looking

0:04:460:04:48

to have a good laugh, actually.

0:04:480:04:49

Thank you very much, everybody.

0:04:490:04:53

It's already clear what

the President is focused on.

0:04:530:04:56

Billions of dollars is coming back

into the US and I think

0:04:560:04:59

that will just continue.

0:04:590:05:00

How much today?

0:05:000:05:01

How much?

0:05:010:05:02

Probably a lot.

0:05:020:05:04

So, for Donald Trump, America first,

and the rest of the world playing

0:05:040:05:07

the part he has written for them.

0:05:070:05:09

James Robbins, BBC News.

0:05:090:05:11

Our economics editor

Kamal Ahmed is in Davos.

0:05:110:05:17

Kamal, what do Davos

attendees want to hear?

0:05:170:05:21

What sort of tone will he take?

Actually, he has just started

0:05:210:05:26

speaking. I think it is a more

conciliatory tone than some would

0:05:260:05:29

have been thinking. He is going to

be talking about America first, but

0:05:290:05:36

he is speaking in the conference

centre a few metres from where I am

0:05:360:05:42

right now, and it is not America

alone. America wants to work with

0:05:420:05:45

the rest of the global economies.

When America does well, you says,

0:05:450:05:51

the rest of the world as well. He

says he does not want trade wars but

0:05:510:05:56

he wants fair trades. He wants to

bring down the barriers to trade or

0:05:560:06:00

equalise them. His claim that

America only brings in place trade

0:06:000:06:06

barriers because there are trade

barriers elsewhere. The Tories not

0:06:060:06:09

quite as belligerent as we have

heard before. -- the tone is not.

0:06:090:06:19

heard before. -- the tone is not. It

is almost an mixture of Beyonce and

0:06:190:06:21

Hulk Hogan. He lost the theatre of

the event and wants to play the

0:06:210:06:28

strong man. He wants to say, I have

strengthened the economy and my

0:06:280:06:37

reforms have strengthened the

economy but I want to work with the

0:06:370:06:38

rest of the global autonomy is --

global economies. I think that will

0:06:380:06:44

go down quite well. OK, thank you.

0:06:440:06:49

The UK economy grew faster

than expected in the last

0:06:490:06:51

three months of 2017,

according to the Office

0:06:510:06:53

for National Statistics.

0:06:530:06:54

Figures released this morning show

that GDP expanded by 0.5%

0:06:540:06:57

in the fourth quarter of last year,

driven by growth in

0:06:570:06:59

the services sector.

0:06:590:07:00

But the ONS says the broader picture

is slower and more uneven growth.

0:07:000:07:03

Our economics correspondent

Andy Verity has the details.

0:07:030:07:09

In the Oxfordshire countryside, this

family run company makes

0:07:090:07:15

cutting-edge machines that use

ultrasound and short wave radiation

0:07:150:07:17

for physiotherapy. Helping patients

recover from injuries and strokes.

0:07:170:07:23

Last year, it saw a surge in orders

not from Europe but from the United

0:07:230:07:27

States and China. For companies like

this, any worries about Brexit are

0:07:270:07:31

for the distant future. What counts

for a lot more is what is happening

0:07:310:07:35

in the global economy. That has been

growing more strongly than most

0:07:350:07:40

economists expected. Exporters like

this have been able to tap into

0:07:400:07:43

growing markets in North America and

Asia and grow themselves. Because

0:07:430:07:48

there is no free trade deal with

China like there is with the EU,

0:07:480:07:52

each product for export has to be

approved by the Chinese authorities,

0:07:520:07:56

meaning years of filling out

documents and other bureaucratic

0:07:560:08:01

hurdles which is an informal barrier

to trade. You need patience but

0:08:010:08:04

eventually you may be rewarded.

It

has been challenging. It took three

0:08:040:08:09

or four max years to gain approval

to sell into China. But with

0:08:090:08:13

patience and dedication, we have

those approvals. We have seen the

0:08:130:08:18

uplift in business now, that we are

able to expand to market the size of

0:08:180:08:21

China.

Manufacturing is now one of

the bright spots of the economy,

0:08:210:08:27

growing by 1.3% in the last few

months of 2017. The economy overall

0:08:270:08:33

grew by 0.5%, slightly more than

most economists expected. All the

0:08:330:08:37

year, it grew by 1.8%, slower than

2016 but by no means the sharp

0:08:370:08:42

slowdown summit here.

The British

economy is performing well and are

0:08:420:08:46

export markets are growing. We have

seen strong growth in services in

0:08:460:08:50

this quarter. The economy is

resilient. It has been much more

0:08:500:08:54

resilient than people expected.

Global growth is coming back, the

0:08:540:08:59

economic cycle is turning. Earlier

this week, the IMF downgraded our

0:08:590:09:05

growth figures. So, no, I think

we're in a very precarious

0:09:050:09:09

situation.

While most of the growth

is coming from services, making up

0:09:090:09:13

four fifths of the economy, it was

weaker in so-called consumer facing

0:09:130:09:17

industries such as restaurant and

hotel.

It appears that it is not

0:09:170:09:23

hitting the economy in the short

term, but productivity is sluggish

0:09:230:09:28

and it is a warning signal for us.

For one sector of the economy, the

0:09:280:09:34

warning of recession is no scare

story. It is reality. Construction

0:09:340:09:39

boom in 2016 but for my months now,

it has been shrinking. -- nine

0:09:390:09:46

months now.

0:09:460:09:49

Downing Street has distanced

itself from comments made

0:09:490:09:51

in Davos by the Chancellor,

Philip Hammond, after he said any

0:09:510:09:55

future change to the UK's relations

with the EU could be "very modest".

0:09:550:09:58

His remarks, during a speech

at the World Economic Forum,

0:09:580:10:01

were seized upon by Tory Leave

campaigners and criticised

0:10:010:10:04

by a number of Cabinet ministers.

0:10:040:10:06

The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

is due later today to give details

0:10:060:10:08

of the Government's plans

for the transition phase after

0:10:080:10:11

the UK leaves the EU next year.

0:10:110:10:12

Here's our political

correspondent, Leila Nathoo.

0:10:120:10:18

The Alpine air of Davos,

a chance for Philip Hammond

0:10:180:10:21

to reassure business about Brexit.

0:10:210:10:23

But some of the Chancellor's

comments here have received a frosty

0:10:230:10:26

reception back home.

0:10:260:10:27

In a speech last night,

he said of Britain and the EU...

0:10:270:10:30

I think the context is important.

0:10:390:10:43

I was speaking about our trade

relationship with the EU,

0:10:430:10:46

and it is the Government's policy

that we want to maintain the maximum

0:10:460:10:50

possible access to markets

and the minimum friction

0:10:500:10:51

at our borders, because that's good

for the British economy,

0:10:510:10:54

it's good for British jobs and it's

good for British prosperity.

0:10:540:11:02

Number 10 had sought to put distance

between the PM and her neighbour,

0:11:030:11:08

saying leaving the single market

and the customs union

0:11:080:11:10

was not a "modest change".

0:11:100:11:11

Around the Cabinet table

and across the Conservative Party,

0:11:110:11:13

divisions over Brexit have once

again been exposed.

0:11:130:11:17

Leavers fear their vision of a clean

break with the EU is being derailed.

0:11:170:11:20

Well, I think this is not a good

position for the Chancellor to be

0:11:200:11:24

in, to be undermining the Prime

Minister.

0:11:240:11:27

That it is of the utmost urgency

that he should unite his position

0:11:270:11:31

with that of the Prime Minister,

and with that of the

0:11:310:11:34

Conservative Party.

0:11:340:11:35

I think a little bit of freelancing

in Davos is very unhelpful.

0:11:350:11:40

Theresa May has walked a delicate

path, trying to reconcile

0:11:400:11:42

the competing Brexit visions

within her party.

0:11:420:11:46

Signs of a wobble in that fragile

arrangement have again raised

0:11:460:11:48

questions about her authority.

0:11:480:11:51

Anyone who uses the word timid

about this Prime Minister

0:11:510:11:53

is absolutely wrong.

0:11:530:11:57

This is the Prime Minister who gave

us absolute clarity after the Brexit

0:11:570:12:00

vote that we were going to get back

control of our laws,

0:12:000:12:03

our borders and our money -

the most profound strategic decision

0:12:030:12:06

that any Prime Minister

needs to make.

0:12:060:12:08

She's under pressure from all sides,

at home and abroad, as the process

0:12:080:12:12

of leaving the EU continues

and the tussle over

0:12:120:12:14

what Brexit means goes on.

0:12:140:12:17

And Leila is in Westminster now.

0:12:170:12:24

That phrase, full confidence, was

used. What does this tell us about

0:12:240:12:28

the state of play?

This is an illustration about the

0:12:280:12:31

fact there is no consensus within

government, the Tory party over what

0:12:310:12:35

Brexit should actually look like. We

have heard from Brexiteers

0:12:350:12:41

criticising Philip Hammond, but just

last night, Brexiteer 's were making

0:12:410:12:47

their own case. Jacob Rees-Mogg

leads a group of Tory MPs supporting

0:12:470:12:55

Brexit. Dozens of backbenchers. Last

night, he gave a strongly worded

0:12:550:13:00

speech warning of the dangers of

speaking to close to the EU after

0:13:000:13:04

Brexit, calling for a fundamental

change in tone from the government.

0:13:040:13:08

You have these two groups making

themselves known in the Tory party,

0:13:080:13:11

putting pressure on the government

ahead of a speech 's afternoon by

0:13:110:13:14

David

0:13:140:13:19

David Davis, who wants to talk about

a desire to get together trade

0:13:190:13:23

deals. But they want to leave enough

time to sort out the shape of the

0:13:230:13:29

future arrangements. On that,

Theresa May will might just be

0:13:290:13:33

facing negotiations with Brussels,

she will navigate arguments within

0:13:330:13:35

her own party as well.

Thank you.

0:13:350:13:43

Several of the BBC's leading male

news presenters have

0:13:430:13:45

agreed to take a pay cut,

after revelations about unequal

0:13:450:13:47

pay at the corporation.

0:13:470:13:51

Jeremy Vine, John Humphrys,

Huw Edwards and Nicky Campbell have

0:13:510:13:53

all agreed, either formally

or in principle, to

0:13:530:13:55

reduce their salary.

0:13:550:13:59

It follows Carrie Gracie's

resignation as China editor

0:13:590:14:01

in protest at the unequal pay

between male and female

0:14:010:14:03

international editors.

0:14:030:14:06

Here's our media

correspondent David Sillito.

0:14:060:14:11

Arriving at work this morning was

Jeremy Wright, one of the BBC's

0:14:110:14:16

highest-paid presenters. However, he

has now agreed that his pay, more

0:14:160:14:21

than £700,000, should be cut.

I

think it means to be sorted out. I

0:14:210:14:26

support my female colleagues who

have rightly said that they should

0:14:260:14:28

be paid the same when they are doing

the same job. It is just a

0:14:280:14:34

no-brainer. It wasn't a problem for

me to accept one.

It is all part of

0:14:340:14:39

the fallout from this, the moment

the BBC was forced to reveal that he

0:14:390:14:44

-- VP of its highest-paid

presenters. Not only is there a

0:14:440:14:47

question of the size of the deals,

there is a big gap between male and

0:14:470:14:51

female presenters. The BBC says it

has agreed a series of pay cuts,

0:14:510:14:54

among them John Humphrys, Nicky

Campbell, yet was, Jeremy Vine,

0:14:540:15:02

before a meeting with MPs next week

to discuss the issue.

I don't think

0:15:020:15:08

people making voluntary sacrifices

or individual gestures is a way to

0:15:080:15:13

solve what appears to be a very

large problem. If a job is worth

0:15:130:15:16

paying an amount of money for, it is

worth paying that amount of money

0:15:160:15:20

for that whoever does it, a man or

woman.

Four of the BBC's leading

0:15:200:15:25

male news presenter say they will

take a pay cut in the wake of Carrie

0:15:250:15:33

Gracie resigning.

This was the

slightly uncomfortable moment when

0:15:330:15:38

the news presenters find themselves

in the news built in. And it is not

0:15:380:15:41

the end of it. A BBC review of staff

pay is due out in the next few days,

0:15:410:15:47

along with a face-to-face meeting

with MPs.

0:15:470:15:55

Some big names but does this

announcement solve the overall issue

0:15:560:16:00

of equal pay?

It certainly doesn't.

I think it is an opening shot. Part

0:16:000:16:05

of the reason those men are in the

headlines today is because a lot of

0:16:050:16:10

them, the ones in use as opposed to

the ones in radio like Jeremy Vine,

0:16:100:16:14

got these quite generous deals years

ago when the market was more

0:16:140:16:18

competitive. The world has changed,

most of the economic sub the

0:16:180:16:20

industry are suggesting that the

money is going into entertainment

0:16:200:16:23

rather than news, so the BBC has

accepted that those are pretty

0:16:230:16:27

generous deals which look slightly

out of date. But there is a fairly

0:16:270:16:31

strong response to that which is the

first of all the BBC should not

0:16:310:16:34

exist in the marketplace for talent

because it is a pub report has to.

0:16:340:16:36

And secondly a lot of women feel

they were

0:16:360:16:43

frozen out of those early

conversations, that they were not

0:16:540:16:56

getting those generous deals years

ago, so that marketplace was never

0:16:560:16:58

true for them. And thirdly, I think

this is an early move, six

0:16:580:17:01

high-profile cases, but it does not

solve the fundamental issue about

0:17:010:17:04

equal pay on and off screen for all

of the women who work at the BBC.

0:17:040:17:06

That is the issue which next week

the select committee will be looking

0:17:060:17:09

at, when the former China editor

Carrie Gracie will be testifying

0:17:090:17:11

along with the likes of Tony Hall

and Fran Unsworth, the new boss of

0:17:110:17:14

BBC News

0:17:140:17:24

at 10

0:17:330:17:33

At least

at 10

37

people have been killed

0:17:330:17:35

and more than 70 injured in a fire

0:17:350:17:37

at a hospital in South Korea.

0:17:370:17:39

About 200 patients were in Sejong

hospital, in the south

0:17:390:17:41

east of the country,

and an adjoining nursing

0:17:410:17:43

home at the time.

0:17:430:17:44

It is South Korea's deadliest

fire in almost a decade

0:17:440:17:46

and there are fears the death

toll could rise.

0:17:460:17:49

From Seoul, our correspondent

Laura Bicker reports.

0:17:490:17:51

Black smoke billowed

from the emergency wing,

0:17:510:17:52

as firefighters tried to get

to patients trapped inside.

0:17:520:18:00

There were nearly 200

people in the building.

0:18:010:18:02

Many were elderly.

0:18:020:18:06

Those who escaped needed

urgent treatment.

0:18:060:18:08

Others died on their

way to hospital, most

0:18:080:18:10

from smoke inhalation.

0:18:100:18:11

Firefighters said they did

everything they could.

0:18:110:18:15

TRANSLATION: We prevented the fire

from spreading to the second floor

0:18:150:18:19

in the early stages,

so that we could secure the second,

0:18:190:18:22

third, fourth and fifth floors.

0:18:220:18:26

As crews inspect the blackened

shell of the hospital,

0:18:260:18:29

it was revealed that no water

sprinklers had been installed.

0:18:290:18:35

This is the deadliest blaze

in a decade in South Korea,

0:18:350:18:37

and the government said

there would be a thorough

0:18:370:18:39

investigation.

0:18:390:18:42

TRANSLATION: The president has

ordered an investigation to figure

0:18:420:18:44

out the exact cause of the fire

and come up with measures to prevent

0:18:440:18:47

more fires at building complexes,

is as well as preparing support

0:18:470:18:51

more fires at building complexes,

as well as preparing support

0:18:510:18:53

measures to promptly cope

with the personnel and property

0:18:530:18:55

damage caused by this fire.

0:18:550:18:57

Just last month, 29 people

were killed in a fire

0:18:570:18:59

in a sports centre in Sejong.

0:18:590:19:00

An inquiry found there were too

few emergency exits,

0:19:000:19:03

and it had been built

with flammable materials.

0:19:030:19:08

Questions are now being asked

about safety regulations

0:19:080:19:10

in South Korea, and what needs to be

done to prevent something

0:19:100:19:13

like this happening again.

Our top story this lunchtime...

0:19:250:19:32

President Trump says the world is

witnessing a resurgence of a strong

0:19:320:19:36

and

0:19:360:19:37

prosperous America.

0:19:370:19:41

And coming up...

0:19:410:19:43

The British Paralympic champion,

Sophie Hahn, responds to claims

0:19:430:19:47

The British Paralympic champion

Sophie Hahn responds to claims

0:19:470:19:49

that she gained unfair advantage

over her impairment classification.

0:19:490:19:57

There's been a big rise

in the number of cars needing to be

0:20:050:20:08

repaired because of damage caused

by potholes, according to the RAC.

0:20:080:20:11

The motoring organisation says

the number of cases increased by 11%

0:20:110:20:14

in the last three months of 2017,

compared with the same

0:20:140:20:17

period the year before.

0:20:170:20:17

Here's our transport

correspondent Victoria Fritz.

0:20:170:20:21

It's bin day in Thurrock.

0:20:210:20:22

You're looking at the front line

in the council's war on potholes.

0:20:220:20:27

These trucks are part

of a pilot across three

0:20:270:20:29

councils arming bin lorries,

buses and even an electric bike

0:20:290:20:31

with the ability to gather

intelligence on the road.

0:20:310:20:34

They're getting around 50,000 images

like this per month.

0:20:340:20:39

We have to interpret those,

turn those into a model,

0:20:390:20:42

to then bring back to the councils

and show, this is how your

0:20:420:20:45

road is deteriorating.

0:20:450:20:48

Ultimately what we're trying to do

is give them the information that

0:20:480:20:51

will allow them to plan how

to intervene before

0:20:510:20:53

a pothole becomes a pothole.

0:20:530:20:55

Britain's roads are getting worse.

0:20:550:20:57

That's the verdict from the RAC.

0:20:570:21:01

Patrols attended 2,830

pothole-related breakdowns

0:21:010:21:05

between October and December

of last year.

0:21:050:21:07

That's 11% more than over the same

period the year before.

0:21:070:21:10

Most UK road journeys begin or end

on local roads like this one,

0:21:100:21:15

and this is where potholes

are a particular problem.

0:21:150:21:19

Now, it's local councils who have

to foot the bill for fixing these,

0:21:190:21:22

and also pay out compensation

for drivers affected.

0:21:220:21:26

In the meantime, motorists

are paying the price.

0:21:260:21:30

Cars damaged by poor roads routinely

roll into this workshop.

0:21:300:21:34

We get multiple instances a week

where we have pothole damage.

0:21:340:21:38

Recently we had shock absorbers

damaged, where it cost the customer

0:21:380:21:41

about £480 to repair.

0:21:410:21:43

Yesterday we had a puncture come

in just from hitting

0:21:430:21:46

a tiny little pothole -

that cost him £300

0:21:460:21:49

for a brand-new tyre.

0:21:490:21:50

We see stuff like this everyday.

0:21:500:21:51

Councils spent £4.4 billion last

year on road repair work.

0:21:510:21:54

But the backlog of work

would take years to clear.

0:21:540:21:57

Councils are fixing a pothole

on average every 19 seconds.

0:21:570:22:02

But the big challenge is that

government funds national roads,

0:22:020:22:05

2% of the network, at £1.1 million

a mile, and only £21,000

0:22:050:22:08

for those that are maintained

by local authorities.

0:22:080:22:12

The government says

it is for councils to identify

0:22:120:22:15

where repairs should be undertaken.

0:22:150:22:18

But with budgets under

increasing scrutiny,

0:22:180:22:21

councils may have to find smarter

ways to fill the holes.

0:22:210:22:24

Victoria Fritz, BBC News.

0:22:240:22:29

A decision is due later

about whether the United States

0:22:290:22:32

will add import tariffs to sales

of Bombardier's C-Series aircraft.

0:22:320:22:35

Unions have argued that

a tariff could threaten up

0:22:350:22:38

to 1,000 jobs in Belfast,

where the plane's wings

0:22:380:22:42

are manufactured.

0:22:420:22:44

Chris Page is at the company's

factory in east Belfast.

0:22:440:22:52

And a difficult day, Chris?

Yes,

that's right. Workers here in east

0:22:520:23:02

Belfast have found themselves at the

centre of what is really a huge

0:23:020:23:05

North American trade dispute. The US

firm Boeing has claimed that the

0:23:050:23:14

Canadian company Bombardier has been

able to sell its C-series passenger

0:23:140:23:16

jets for less than it cost to build

them because of unfair financial

0:23:160:23:19

assistance from the UK and Canadian

governance. The wings for the

0:23:190:23:22

C-series are made in Northern

Ireland, around 1000 workers

0:23:220:23:25

employed directly and many more

companies supplying parts and

0:23:250:23:28

services to Bombardier. The unions

have warned the applications for the

0:23:280:23:33

economy of Northern Ireland could be

very serious indeed. So far the US

0:23:330:23:37

trade authorities have agreed with

Boeing's arguments that Bombardier

0:23:370:23:41

has been given an unfair advantage

and they have proposed tariff,

0:23:410:23:46

almost 300% of. Since Boeing made

its initial complaint there has been

0:23:460:23:50

some better news for Bombardier. The

European aircraft manufacturer

0:23:500:23:54

Airbus has bought a controlling

stake in the C-series project which

0:23:540:23:57

could potentially soften the blow to

Belfast's operation but nonetheless

0:23:570:24:03

it is still a very own chess

afternoon workers have here ahead of

0:24:030:24:08

the ruling from Washington this

evening.

Chris Page, thank you.

0:24:080:24:15

More now on Davos, where

Donald Trump has been

0:24:190:24:21

addressing delegates

0:24:210:24:22

at the World Economic Forum.

0:24:220:24:24

He has said he is there to represent

the American people and that the

0:24:240:24:29

world is witnessing the resurgence

of a strong and prosperous America.

0:24:290:24:31

I believe in America. As president

of the United States, I will always

0:24:310:24:38

put America first, just like the

leaders of other countries should

0:24:380:24:44

put their country first also. But

America first does not mean America

0:24:440:24:53

alone. When the United States grows,

so does the world. American

0:24:530:25:02

prosperity has created countless

jobs all around the globe.

That was

0:25:020:25:08

what part of what Donald Trump has

been saying this lunchtime. And

0:25:080:25:13

there is much more analysis of that

speech throughout the afternoon on

0:25:130:25:15

the BBC News Channel.

0:25:150:25:20

New guidance from the NHS medicines

watchdog the National Institute

0:25:200:25:24

for Health and Care Excellence says

most sore throats can be

0:25:240:25:27

treated with paracetamol.

0:25:270:25:28

Research suggests that

antibiotics are being

0:25:280:25:29

prescribed in 60% of cases -

potentially contributing

0:25:290:25:31

to the development of strains

of bacteria which can't be treated

0:25:310:25:34

by the drugs.

0:25:340:25:35

Here's our health

correspondent Dominic Hughes.

0:25:350:25:39

The overuse of antibiotics

is leading to the development

0:25:390:25:41

of bacteria resistant

to these life-saving drugs.

0:25:410:25:43

Leading health experts

have warned this poses

0:25:430:25:45

a serious threat to the UK.

0:25:450:25:46

If we lose the ability to fight

infection, common medical procedures

0:25:460:25:49

such as Caesarean sections

and cancer treatments

0:25:490:25:51

could become too risky.

0:25:510:25:53

Prescribing antibiotics to treat

a sore throat is a prime example

0:25:530:25:56

of the way they can be misused.

0:25:560:25:59

Sore throats account for nearly one

in four of GP appointments in the UK

0:25:590:26:02

related to the infections

of the lungs and airways.

0:26:020:26:07

Research suggests that

in 60% of those cases,

0:26:070:26:09

antibiotics are prescribed.

0:26:090:26:13

But most sore throats are caused

by a viral infection,

0:26:130:26:15

on which antibiotics

will have no effect.

0:26:150:26:20

We've become a bit, erm,

acclimatised to thinking

0:26:200:26:21

that we need an antibiotic whenever

we've got something wrong with us.

0:26:210:26:25

And we don't, and we just have to be

re-educated, I suppose,

0:26:250:26:28

to think what we can do

for ourselves, and to, importantly,

0:26:280:26:31

preserve the use of antibiotics

for really serious infections.

0:26:310:26:36

The latest advice from the NHS

medicines watchdog reminds doctors

0:26:360:26:39

and nurses that most sore throats

will get better within a week,

0:26:390:26:43

and only the most serious bacterial

infections need antibiotics.

0:26:430:26:49

Most patients are best advised

to drink plenty of fluids

0:26:490:26:51

and to take paracetamol or ibuprofen

to help pain relief.

0:26:510:26:59

The British Paralympic and world

champion Sophie Hahn

0:27:020:27:04

has spoken of her anger

at having her impairment

0:27:040:27:06

classification questioned.

0:27:060:27:09

Sophie Hahn has cerebral palsy,

which affects her movement

0:27:090:27:11

and co-ordination.

0:27:110:27:14

In October at a Parliamentary

hearing into Paralympic

0:27:140:27:16

classification, the father

of one her team-mates claimed

0:27:160:27:19

she was benefiting from competing

in the wrong category.

0:27:190:27:21

In her first interview since then,

she's told our reporter

0:27:210:27:24

Kate Grey that she found

the claims heartbreaking.

0:27:240:27:32

Hi.

0:27:330:27:34

Hi.

0:27:340:27:35

Hello.

0:27:350:27:37

Sophie Hahn is normally

a private person.

0:27:370:27:40

But after being named in a row over

classification in Paralympic sport,

0:27:400:27:43

she's invited me to her family home

to give her side of the story.

0:27:430:27:50

It's just really heartbreaking

for me, and it doesn't

0:27:500:27:53

do the sport any good.

0:27:530:27:55

We want to inspire people,

we want people with disability

0:27:550:28:00

to come and try it out.

0:28:000:28:01

In October, while giving evidence

to a committee of MPs,

0:28:010:28:04

Michael Breen, the father

of Olivia Breen, who competes

0:28:040:28:06

in the same category as Sophie,

appeared to call into question

0:28:060:28:09

Sophie's classification.

0:28:090:28:10

Ms Hahn didn't have cerebral palsy,

but she had learning difficulties.

0:28:100:28:13

But she'd ended up with a cerebral

palsy classification.

0:28:130:28:17

Claiming she has an unfair advantage

over her competitors,

0:28:170:28:21

by having less of an impairment.

0:28:210:28:23

I was really angry and upset.

0:28:230:28:25

I never imagined seeing my face

all over the internet,

0:28:250:28:28

the newspaper, the TV.

0:28:280:28:30

I think with me, I just

work unbelievably hard.

0:28:300:28:34

I put in hours of

training on the track.

0:28:340:28:39

It was interesting, we were told

you'd never go to a sports day...

0:28:390:28:42

Sophie is a twin and

following a complicated birth

0:28:420:28:44

was diagnosed with brain damage,

which affected her growth

0:28:440:28:47

and development as a child.

0:28:470:28:51

Over the first two, three years,

she couldn't sit, couldn't walk

0:28:510:28:55

until she was three.

0:28:550:28:58

She didn't stand until she was two.

0:28:580:28:59

She spent most of her life

in the children's centre.

0:28:590:29:05

In the four years since she's been

competing, her family have

0:29:050:29:07

felt her achievements have been

undermined by behind-the-scenes

0:29:070:29:09

accusations that Sophie

is in the wrong category.

0:29:090:29:14

No two athletes are the same,

so there will be groups.

0:29:140:29:17

We've questioned whether or not

we should, you know, carry on.

0:29:170:29:21

Yeah.

0:29:210:29:22

And so has Sophie, to be honest.

0:29:220:29:24

There are times when Sophie

has said, that's it.

0:29:240:29:26

I'm quitting.

0:29:260:29:27

It's not worth it.

0:29:270:29:28

In the next few months,

Sophie will have to go

0:29:280:29:30

through the classification process

again, along with many other

0:29:300:29:33

athletes, in accordance

with the changes made

0:29:330:29:34

by the Paralympic committee.

0:29:340:29:38

But for now, she's fully focused

on her training ahead of competing

0:29:380:29:40

in the Commonwealth Games

for the first time.

0:29:400:29:44

If I could add the Commonwealth

title, then I would have

0:29:440:29:48

had all titles at 21.

0:29:480:29:50

And just keep going, keep striding,

getting better, really.

0:29:500:29:54

And that's how Sophie

wants to be remembered,

0:29:540:29:57

A discount on Nutella has led

to grab a bargain.

Some blue skies on offer for many of

us today. This photo was sent in by

0:30:440:30:48

a Weather Watcher from Shropshire.

The best sunshine has been the

0:30:480:30:52

further west you are. The cloud in

the south-east this morning is

0:30:520:31:00

breaking up to allow some sunshine.

That is due to an area of high

0:31:000:31:02

pressure which is coming in from the

west. But we do have these weather

0:31:020:31:05

fronts waiting in the wings, which

will bring change this weekend. This

0:31:050:31:08

afternoon a lot of dry, bright

weather around, perhaps a bit more

0:31:080:31:14

high-level cloud for Scotland and

Northern Ireland. That is ahead of

0:31:140:31:17

the front coming in from the west,

but feeling fairly cool. Going

0:31:170:31:21

through this evening and overnight,

that rain works in eastwards into

0:31:210:31:25

parts of Scotland and Wales and

south-west England, bringing some

0:31:250:31:31

patchy rain and more cloud. Further

east with clearer skies it will

0:31:310:31:36

allow the temperatures to fall away.

One or two patches of frost knocked

0:31:360:31:42

out of the question in rural spots.

This is the weather front which is

0:31:420:31:46

coming in as we move into Saturday.

It will bring some wet weather and

0:31:460:31:52

you can see the tightly packed

isobars meaning a windy day. Some

0:31:520:31:56

heavy rain for parts of Scotland

tomorrow morning. It will have

0:31:560:32:01

largely gone through Northern

Ireland by then. The best of the

0:32:010:32:09

brightness will be the further south

and east you are. A few patches of

0:32:090:32:13

mist and fog first thing but they

should lift fairly quickly. The rain

0:32:130:32:19

will be pierced in the north, and it

works its way eastwards as we move

0:32:190:32:23

through the day, becoming

increasingly patchy into the

0:32:230:32:26

afternoon. Behind it, some brighter

intervals for eastern Scotland,

0:32:260:32:32

Northern Ireland and north-east

England. Some potentially thundery

0:32:320:32:35

showers for Scotland and the far

north. Mild temperatures, in the

0:32:350:32:38

double figures, thanks to the mild

air which we are pulling in from the

0:32:380:32:44

south-west. That will continue to

work its way in as we move through

0:32:440:32:50

Sunday, which will be a mild day for

many of us. South of this, a bit

0:32:500:32:58

more cloud. Some brighter intervals,

particularly to the east of higher

0:32:580:33:02

ground, but mild temperatures by the

time we get to Sunday. So, change on

0:33:020:33:08

the way as we move into the weekend,

with mild temperatures.
