:01:47. > :01:49.There's been a record rise in suicides, assaults and self-harm

:03:23. > :03:25.I lifted the flap, and this young man was suspended in his cell.
:03:26. > :03:32.We lay him on the bed, and I saw a note to his sister on the side,
:03:33. > :03:35.and I saw it was his birthday, and I thought, what a waste.

:04:13. > :04:18.I am very clear that the levels of violence in our prisons are too

:04:22. > :04:24.Since I became Justice Secretary, I have focused on dealing
:04:25. > :04:28.That's why we are investing an extra ?100 million.
:04:29. > :04:34.2500 extra prison officers across the estate, so that we are able
:04:35. > :04:39.to have a caseload of one prison officer for every six prisoners.
:04:40. > :04:42.But Sarah says the challenge is not recruiting staff,

:04:53. > :04:58.I've never been in fear of my life until now,
:04:59. > :05:03.and we just don't get paid enough to have that fear everyday.
:05:04. > :05:14.Our Home Editor, Mark Easton, is with me here.
:05:15. > :05:21.We have seen those figures. How bad is it? Very serious, totally
:05:22. > :05:27.unacceptable, not my words but the words of Liz Truss, the Justice
:05:28. > :05:30.Secretary, describing prisons in England Wales. Though very few weeks
:05:31. > :05:35.at the end of last year, we had all those rights in Bedford, Birmingham,
:05:36. > :05:40.the Isle of Sheppey, Hull. We know that assaults on staff and suicides
:05:41. > :05:45.are at record levels. Post a half of prisoners reoffend within a year of
:05:46. > :05:48.leaving jail, two thirds among juvenile offenders, so the Ministry
:05:49. > :05:53.of Justice has an enormous challenge. Its annual budget has
:05:54. > :05:58.been cut by 15% and some of those savings come from prisons. They
:05:59. > :06:01.somehow got to reduce running costs at the same time as reducing
:06:02. > :06:05.violence and self harm and reoffending. There are more promises
:06:06. > :06:12.of officers, more right teams and new legislation to cut reoffending,
:06:13. > :06:15.but many offenders would argue that -- campaigners would argue that the
:06:16. > :06:17.only sustainable solution is to either spend a lot more money or
:06:18. > :06:20.lock up a lot fewer people. And there's a lot more detail

:07:17. > :07:19.arguably a great prize, as the first foreign leader invited to sit down

:08:36. > :08:38.Today, the Foreign Secretary we stated the official position. The
:08:39. > :08:41.Prime Minister answered that in the House of Commons yesterday and she
:08:42. > :08:47.was clear that our principal position and our objection to
:08:48. > :08:52.torture remains unchanged. When Theresa May meets Donald Trump, she
:08:53. > :08:54.must balance her desire to renew and to strengthen the special
:08:55. > :08:59.relationship with a political requirement to confront the special
:09:00. > :09:03.challenges which he poses. As well as torture, the two leaders disagree
:09:04. > :09:07.on the threat from Russia and the usefulness of Nato. They disagree on
:09:08. > :09:11.climate change, and yet both say they want a strong post-Brexit trade
:09:12. > :09:17.deal, although Britain favours free trade and Mr Trump -- Mr Trump's
:09:18. > :09:22.America does not. In America, Mrs May will first meet leading
:09:23. > :09:26.republicans, many of whom do not support the president on torture and
:09:27. > :09:31.do want a deal with Britain. The fact that she is coming to meet us
:09:32. > :09:34.is testament to this being a very important relationship. In
:09:35. > :09:38.Philadelphia, the security is in place and already it's clear that
:09:39. > :09:40.her face-to-face talks with President Trump will be far from
:09:41. > :09:40.straightforward. In the last hour, the President
:09:41. > :09:43.of Mexico has cancelled his plans It follows Mr Trump's latest remarks
:09:44. > :09:47.on Twitter about his controversial plan to build a border wall
:09:48. > :09:49.between the two countries. Whether it's on social media
:09:50. > :09:52.or his first TV interview since entering the White House,
:09:53. > :09:54.Donald Trump has demonstrated once again that he is unlike any

:10:47. > :10:51.letter given to me by President Obama. He showed off the hand
:10:52. > :10:54.written note given by his predecessor and was asked whether
:10:55. > :11:00.taking over his office and wielding such awesome power had changed him.
:11:01. > :11:03.I don't want to change much. I can be the most presidential person ever
:11:04. > :11:06.apart from possibly the great Abraham Lincoln, but I can be the
:11:07. > :11:11.most presidential person. He also stood by his widely dismissed claim
:11:12. > :11:16.that millions of people voted illegally in the presidential
:11:17. > :11:19.election, the reason he thinks Hillary Clinton won more votes
:11:20. > :11:23.nationwide. Do you think that talking about millions of illegal
:11:24. > :11:28.votes is dangerous to this country? Not at all because many people feel
:11:29. > :11:31.the same. He is expected to sign an executive order later calling for an
:11:32. > :11:36.investigation to vote fraud, and we are also expecting an order
:11:37. > :11:39.temporarily banning immigrants from seven mainly Muslim countries from
:11:40. > :11:45.entering the United States. Would that cause a Muslim backlash around
:11:46. > :11:50.the world? The world is a mess, as angry as it gets. You think this is
:11:51. > :11:54.going to cause a bit more anger? The world is an angry place. The world
:11:55. > :11:58.is total mess. But there were more angry words this morning over the
:11:59. > :12:01.wall along the Mexican border, with the Mexican president refusing to
:12:02. > :12:06.pay for it and cancelling a planned visit to Washington next week after
:12:07. > :12:12.Donald Trump suggested in a tweet that he should rethink his travel
:12:13. > :12:14.plans. Almost a week into his term in office, it's already becoming
:12:15. > :12:20.clear that Donald Trump is changing the presidency more than the
:12:21. > :12:22.presidency is changing him. Mick Bryant, BBC News, Washington.
:12:23. > :12:24.Let's get the view from our North America Editor, Jon Sopel.
:12:25. > :12:37.Mexico - US stand-off, arguments about torture, quite a female
:12:38. > :12:44.atmosphere for Theresa May to be walking into. Yes, and Theresa May
:12:45. > :12:48.and Donald Trump could could not be more different in terms of
:12:49. > :12:52.personality and character. Theresa May was asked about this on her
:12:53. > :12:58.flight to Philadelphia. She said that sometimes opposites attract.

:13:03. > :13:06.potential of the special relationship but, in America and
:13:07. > :13:11.Washington in particular, they talk about stray voltage. Just look at
:13:12. > :13:16.the stray voltage there has been today. We have learned that the
:13:17. > :13:20.senior management team at the State Department has resigned en masse. We
:13:21. > :13:24.have heard that the Mexican president isn't coming any more
:13:25. > :13:29.because of their Twitter spat. We have heard there has been a major
:13:30. > :13:34.row in the Republican Party over torture and that Donald Trump is
:13:35. > :13:39.going to sign this executive order on voter fraud, some of which,
:13:40. > :13:43.according to the New York Times, the evidence for is based on a

:14:58. > :15:01.shoppers in Reading, it was good business as usual. A lot of people
:15:02. > :15:05.thought that the referendum and the vote to leave would mean consumers
:15:06. > :15:09.might be nervous, what is the future, and would stop spending. Did
:15:10. > :15:13.you find that was true? I haven't seen any difference personally. I
:15:14. > :15:21.think consumer spending will maintain itself and, long-term, I
:15:22. > :15:25.think we are in for a good ride. I think we are in an unstable
:15:26. > :15:30.situation, I really do. We have got nothing that is filling us with

:15:55. > :16:00.frankly, those gloomy predictions before the referendum haven't come
:16:01. > :16:03.to pass. Consumer confidence is still strong, business confidence is

:19:09. > :19:14.risk of missing out on the best start in life. And as these parents
:19:15. > :19:20.in Oldham know, it is not always easy. I think it is like the money
:19:21. > :19:25.side, there is so many single parents and it is children bringing
:19:26. > :19:31.up children. A lot of people who are unemployed don't seem to know about

:20:05. > :20:08.other European nations. And it lays bare the impact that poverty can
:20:09. > :20:14.have. But the picture within the UK is extremely mixed. In Scotland, 19%
:20:15. > :20:21.of mothers smoke during pregnancy. The highest rate in the UK. 40% of
:20:22. > :20:26.children in England's most deprived areas are overweight or obese.

:20:33. > :20:37.13% of 15-year-olds are reported to consume alcohol once a week. But
:20:38. > :20:42.poverty is the common factor. It blights in a number of ways, whether
:20:43. > :20:49.it is access to services, education, whether it is ability to live a
:20:50. > :20:53.healthier life. All of these things are much more manifest when you're
:20:54. > :20:56.poor. For those who work with families to improve children's
:20:57. > :21:00.health, part of the solution at least is simple. There is a role for
:21:01. > :21:06.education with young people before their pregnant, perhaps in schools,

:21:50. > :21:54.through? Well, this, the Government's plan has had to change.
:21:55. > :21:59.Theresa May hope's to start the EU divorce without having to get the
:22:00. > :22:03.nod from Parliament. But she lost the fight in the courts and we have
:22:04. > :22:08.this, which gives Theresa May the right to start negotiations at a
:22:09. > :22:16.time of her choosing. Will it get through? Very comfortably. Most MPs
:22:17. > :22:21.don't feel they can defy the referendum and Jeremy Corbyn has
:22:22. > :22:24.been telling his MPs they have to vote with the Government. They have
:22:25. > :22:27.got to go with the referendum result. So it does look as if
:22:28. > :22:34.Theresa May at this stage will get her way. That is causing Labour some
:22:35. > :22:40.big problems isn't it? Yes, we always used to see the Conservative
:22:41. > :22:48.Party as the party with the fault line on Europe. And Labour has the
:22:49. > :22:52.fault line as big. Labour MPs represent areas where people want to
:22:53. > :22:57.leave and Jeremy Corbyn has asked his MPs to vote in favour of the
:22:58. > :23:01.talks, but one has resigned and others will again vote against the
:23:02. > :23:06.bill and he will have to decide whether to sack them. It is a
:23:07. > :23:10.dilemma. A choice between tolerance and accepting the differences in the
:23:11. > :23:13.party or enforcing discipline. But ministers can be confident or at
:23:14. > :23:16.least getting to the starting line of the long, hard slog towards
:23:17. > :23:19.Brexit. Thank you. A brief look at some of the day's

:23:27. > :23:29.for information after he was found lying on the hillside with no

:25:23. > :25:28.to check her lungs for damage. Look and see her shell
:25:29. > :25:32.and we can see her lungs and we can see also that there is some
:25:33. > :25:36.gas, which is black and that is So it is free gas and that's
:25:37. > :25:42.potentially responsible Staff caring for her on Anglesey had

:25:50. > :25:55.to dive, but the team are delighted by her appetite,
:25:56. > :26:00.which is helping her regain weight. She is a real character,
:26:01. > :26:02.we have got to know her, she is sort of starting
:26:03. > :26:05.to to eat really well now. She is demolishing
:26:06. > :26:07.sort of a couple of kilos of calamari a day
:26:08. > :26:09.and she's a real personality. Olive Ridleys can travel
:26:10. > :26:18.vast distances, but it's thought this one was carried
:26:19. > :26:21.by currents thousands of miles Menai the Turtle has been
:26:22. > :26:25.through a lot and now it's time Gel is being applied to prevent her
:26:26. > :26:32.skin from drying and she is being kept warm, ready for her
:26:33. > :26:50.journey back to Anglesey, while It has been beautifully sunny in
:26:51. > :26:56.Anglesey. But this is Norfolk. Look at this grey picture and it was
:26:57. > :27:00.bitterly cold. The sunshine shone not just in north-west Wales, but in
:27:01. > :27:05.much of Scotland. What a contrast. There is your 13 in Highland
:27:06. > :27:13.Scotland. Minus two in East Anglia under that continental cloud and
:27:14. > :27:17.that cloud is moving north-west, tending to diminish and allowing the
:27:18. > :27:23.frost to form. There will be some hill fog across the Pennines, the
:27:24. > :27:29.Peak District and the Welsh mountains. These are the city
:27:30. > :27:33.temperatures. And there will be some drizzle and even some snow,
:27:34. > :27:40.particularly in central and eastern areas and that means it will be icy.
:27:41. > :27:44.You can see the change in Northern Ireland, a weather front, yes, a
:27:45. > :27:50.cold and frosty morning, not so much in Northern Ireland and the South
:27:51. > :27:53.West. But there could be some slippery conditions tomorrow morning
:27:54. > :28:02.through the rush hour. Particularly on untreated roads and pavements.
:28:03. > :28:08.But we keep that continental air in the east, but through the day
:28:09. > :28:17.although those showers could fall as snow, its will get less cold. Come
:28:18. > :28:20.Saturday, we are all in that less cold south-westerly wind. Not
:28:21. > :28:26.particularly warm. Only five or six degrees. This is our fly in the
:28:27. > :28:30.ointment for the weekend, how far north this low pressure will push
:28:31. > :28:32.the rain. At the moment it looks like the central areas will get that
:28:33. > :28:36.and dry in the north. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
:28:37. > :28:39.so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's
:28:40. > :28:41.news teams where you are.
