0:00:07 > 0:00:10Donald Trump says he won't come to the UK after all -

0:00:10 > 0:00:13he doesn't like the new US embassy.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15He tweeted he wasn't happy about the building's new location

0:00:15 > 0:00:18in a different part of London.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20But has the president pulled out of his visit

0:00:20 > 0:00:27because he was worried about the reception he might get?

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Mr President, are you a racist?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Meanwhile, alleged comments by the president about African

0:00:32 > 0:00:38countries land him in hot water at home.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40And the UN weighs in also, saying the President's reported

0:00:40 > 0:00:41comments are racist.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Also tonight...

0:00:42 > 0:00:45A report into the Manchester bombing finds some relatives

0:00:45 > 0:00:47of the victims suffered from media intrusion.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49A fine of £10,000 for the surgeon who branded his initials

0:00:49 > 0:00:51onto his patients' livers.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53The government is urged to bring construction giant

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Carillion into public control amid fears it could collapse.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03You can't look down to read this speech, you have to take the speech

0:01:03 > 0:01:07up, because if you did, your neck would break.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08And weighty reflections on the crown.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11The Queen as you've never heard or seen her before.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News:

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Exit Alexis from the Emirates.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Arsene Wenger admits defeat in the battle

0:01:17 > 0:01:25to retain his star striker, starting a bidding war.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47President Trump's visit to Britain next month is off.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50He had been due to attend the official opening of the new US

0:01:50 > 0:01:51embassy in south London.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53But he tweeted he was not a "big fan"

0:01:53 > 0:01:57of the new embassy and blamed Barack Obama's administration

0:01:57 > 0:02:05for a "bad deal".

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Downing Street says

0:02:10 > 0:02:13an invitation for a state visit will still take place,

0:02:13 > 0:02:14although no date has been set.

0:02:14 > 0:02:21Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.

0:02:21 > 0:02:27The new US embassy, on the south bank of the River Thames in London.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31A monument, we are told, to America's commitment to London that

0:02:31 > 0:02:35the US ambassador had hoped would be formally opened by Donald Trump next

0:02:35 > 0:02:39month. Yes, I do hope, and we are going to welcome him when he comes.

0:02:39 > 0:02:48Except that he is not coming. Mr Trump said that he cancelled the

0:02:48 > 0:02:57trip because he opposed the sale of Mr Obama...

0:02:57 > 0:03:02A decision that was welcomed by his critics.Here you have the head of

0:03:02 > 0:03:07state of another country who has not only promoted hatred and division in

0:03:07 > 0:03:12his own country, but is surely due to his online activity guilty of

0:03:12 > 0:03:18doing the same in our country as well.Actually the decision to sell

0:03:18 > 0:03:22the old embassy was initially taken by President Bush in order to find a

0:03:22 > 0:03:27new location. The old embassy had also been the scene of many

0:03:27 > 0:03:31demonstrations in the past and diplomats said it was the threat of

0:03:31 > 0:03:34similar protests that had spooked the White House. The Mayoral London

0:03:34 > 0:03:39Sadiq Khan said there would be mass protests like these, but peaceful

0:03:39 > 0:03:44ones. The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson accused Mr Khan of putting

0:03:44 > 0:03:49UK US relations at risk, a view that Downing Street didn't echo, but

0:03:49 > 0:03:54others did.In this country, we have the Mayoral London, Jeremy Corbyn

0:03:54 > 0:03:57and others encouraging large-scale street protests against him. I feel

0:03:57 > 0:04:02that must be part of his decision. And that is the point. In his first

0:04:02 > 0:04:09year of office, Mr Trump has troubled the world -- travelled the

0:04:09 > 0:04:14world, including France, Germany and Belgium. The UK is notable for its

0:04:14 > 0:04:17absence. The US ambassador has said that this fortress of glass

0:04:17 > 0:04:22represents a new era in friendship between the US and the UK, a

0:04:22 > 0:04:26strengthening of the relationship. But fear among diplomats is that the

0:04:26 > 0:04:30president's decision not to open this building signals that actually

0:04:30 > 0:04:36for him at least Britain is not a priority. So, for now, the closest

0:04:36 > 0:04:41we will get to seeing Mr Trump at the new embassy is this waxwork, as

0:04:41 > 0:04:47ministers say they look forward to a visit at some point in the future.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Well, it is for the US president to determine his travel priorities.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Obviously, it's an important diplomatic partner for the UK. We

0:04:55 > 0:05:00want the closest possible relationship with the US.Tonight,

0:05:00 > 0:05:05as Mr Trump honoured Martin Luther King, he was caught up in yet

0:05:05 > 0:05:08another row, having to deny making racist remarks about African

0:05:08 > 0:05:12countries. Home or abroad, this president is rarely free from

0:05:12 > 0:05:17controversy. James Landale, BBC News.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Nick Bryant is at the Whitehouse.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Let's talk about those comments James was referring to you at the

0:05:23 > 0:05:28end of his piece. What is the president alleged to have said.At a

0:05:28 > 0:05:33meeting in the Oval Office yesterday with Republican and Democratic

0:05:33 > 0:05:41lawmakers about immigration, he is alleged to have used a slur directed

0:05:41 > 0:05:47against Haiti and other African nations. Mr Trump denies using the

0:05:47 > 0:05:54slur, I will not use it on air, although he used strong language. A

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Democrat present in the room said not only did he use that language,

0:05:57 > 0:06:03he used it repeatedly. In my mind, this is unprecedented. A sitting

0:06:03 > 0:06:09president in the West Wing of the White House being asked if he is

0:06:09 > 0:06:16racist in that unfortunate and contradictory setting where he was

0:06:17 > 0:06:23signing in honour of Martin Luther King.And there has been quite a

0:06:23 > 0:06:29reaction to this, not least from the UN?That has been a barrage of

0:06:29 > 0:06:33criticism. We have had African countries like Botswana condemning

0:06:33 > 0:06:39it and even contacting the Trump administration saying, does that

0:06:39 > 0:06:43apply to us? But the White House, in the aftermath of the first reports

0:06:43 > 0:06:46of this alleged slur came out with a statement last night that didn't

0:06:46 > 0:06:53deny that the president had said it, indeed, it almost seemed to double

0:06:53 > 0:06:55down. Some were telling reporters that the president believed this

0:06:55 > 0:06:59would play well with his base and that he was taking a victory lap in

0:06:59 > 0:07:04the West Wing. It's another example of where this America first rhetoric

0:07:04 > 0:07:08often means that America is alone. Nick Bryant at the White House,

0:07:08 > 0:07:11thank you.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Families searching for missing relatives after the Manchester Arena

0:07:13 > 0:07:15bombing were subjected to intrusive media attention,

0:07:15 > 0:07:17according to a report.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's part of a progress review by Lord Kerslake into the response

0:07:20 > 0:07:24to the bombing in May last year in which 22 people were killed.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29Our north of England correspondent has been speaking to one of the

0:07:29 > 0:07:33families affected.

0:07:33 > 0:07:39With in moments of the Manchester Arena bombing, the attack was

0:07:39 > 0:07:44international news. Phone footage were shared immediately. Camera

0:07:44 > 0:07:47crews and journalists provided round-the-clock coverage for days

0:07:47 > 0:07:52afterwards and there were countless posts on social media as well. There

0:07:52 > 0:07:57was huge interest in the stories of those most closely affected,

0:07:57 > 0:07:59including the family of Martin Hecht, one of those killed in the

0:07:59 > 0:08:06blast. Martin had a large online following and had previously been on

0:08:06 > 0:08:10TV. His relatives quickly found themselves in the spotlight. Breast

0:08:10 > 0:08:16reporters arrived at their house with -- press reporters arrived at

0:08:16 > 0:08:21their house before the family knew that Martin had died.We had people

0:08:21 > 0:08:24ringing the bell, basically saying, sorry for your loss, but would you

0:08:24 > 0:08:30like to comment. He wasn't even officially dead yet. How can anyone

0:08:30 > 0:08:35be so cruel and say, sorry for your loss? We didn't find out officially

0:08:35 > 0:08:41until that evening that he was dead. The way the emergency services

0:08:41 > 0:08:45responded to the attack is already being reviewed by an independent

0:08:45 > 0:08:49panel. Now it will also examine the role in which the media played in

0:08:49 > 0:08:56the aftermath.Much of the media handled families in a very

0:08:56 > 0:09:00respectful way. What we have heard examples where that wasn't the case

0:09:00 > 0:09:07and we feel that needs to be explored and understood.The

0:09:07 > 0:09:11families of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster lost their

0:09:11 > 0:09:15relatives in very different but equally public circumstances. Their

0:09:15 > 0:09:18struggle has inspired a chart of families bereaved free public

0:09:18 > 0:09:23tragedy.There are elements of the response that could have been

0:09:23 > 0:09:29better.The arena review asks organisations to sign up to it and

0:09:29 > 0:09:33put the needs of such families before their own reputations.I want

0:09:33 > 0:09:37anyone who works in our emergency services to know that they will be

0:09:37 > 0:09:40supported in coming forward to tell it exactly as it was, because that

0:09:40 > 0:09:44is what we need. We need the families to have the truth as

0:09:44 > 0:09:48quickly as possible so that they can take that on board and that will

0:09:48 > 0:09:52help with the grieving process.In March, the full review into the

0:09:52 > 0:09:58attack will be published, eight months after these 22 people died,

0:09:58 > 0:10:03as their families lives are still dominated by the tragedy.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06A surgeon who branded his initials onto the livers of two

0:10:06 > 0:10:10transplant patients has been fined and given a community service order.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Simon Bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault in December.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16His crimes - carried out at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham -

0:10:16 > 0:10:18were discovered when the patients returned to hospital for further

0:10:18 > 0:10:22surgery as Sima Kotecha reports.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24REPORTER:Mr Bramhall, what's your reaction?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Simon Bramhall, once a respected surgeon,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29now a convicted criminal.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32What would you like to say to the patients, Mr Bramhall?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Today, he was fined £10,000 after pleading guilty to assaulting

0:10:35 > 0:10:39two patients by marking his initials on their livers.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42His victims were undergoing liver transplants at the time.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45In court, Judge Paul Farrer QC told him:

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well, it was here at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

0:11:01 > 0:11:04in Birmingham where Bramhall committed his offences.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08He marked the livers in 2013 and it was a year later,

0:11:08 > 0:11:13after a disciplinary hearing, that he resigned from his post.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Another of his patients, who also underwent a liver transplant by him,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19says he shouldn't be punished.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Signing his work is just his way of showing the artwork he's done.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27The fact that he's saved so many lives through all the operations

0:11:27 > 0:11:31he's carried out, mine included, because without him I wouldn't be

0:11:31 > 0:11:37here, just makes me think he needs to carry on doing what he's good at.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42Bramhall branded SB on the organs with an argon beam machine,

0:11:42 > 0:11:46a heat projecting device usually used to stop any bleeding.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48The Crown Prosecution Service compared its imprint

0:11:48 > 0:11:50to a minor burn.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53What happened was a crime.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56The rule of law applies equally to everybody, including doctors,

0:11:56 > 0:11:59so it's important to hold people to account when they commit a crime

0:11:59 > 0:12:01of assault, and that's what's happened here.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04The markings were discovered after other surgeons noticed

0:12:04 > 0:12:07them during operations.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Bramhall betrayed the trust of his patients and took advantage

0:12:10 > 0:12:13of them when they were at their most vulnerable.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15The General Medical Council, which has already issued him

0:12:15 > 0:12:18with a formal warning, will now decide whether to take any

0:12:18 > 0:12:20further action against the surgeon.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Birmingham.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Over 60 firefighters have been tackling a large blaze

0:12:27 > 0:12:29at Nottingham railway station, which is thought to have

0:12:29 > 0:12:33started in a toilet block early this morning.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34The fire quickly spread through the station,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37which has been recently renovated.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39The flames have been brought under control

0:12:39 > 0:12:41but the station will remain closed.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43A joint police and fire investigation has now revealed

0:12:43 > 0:12:46they are treating the fire as arson.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Young women with the faulty BRCA genes who have gone

0:12:48 > 0:12:51on to develop breast cancer have the same survival chances

0:12:51 > 0:12:53as those who don't have the genes.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55A study of almost 3,000 women also found outcomes

0:12:55 > 0:12:58were the same whatever kind of treatment the young women had -

0:12:58 > 0:13:02including mastectomies.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Mutations in the BRCA genes can significantly increase a woman's

0:13:04 > 0:13:05chance of developing breast cancer.

0:13:05 > 0:13:13Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh has more.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 35 years old and five

0:13:18 > 0:13:22months pregnant, Laura faced childbirth and then cancer

0:13:22 > 0:13:32treatment. She carries a BRCA gene mutation and so, like many women in

0:13:32 > 0:13:37her position, she opted to have both breasts removed.I decided to have a

0:13:37 > 0:13:42double mastectomy. My oncologist was keen for me to have it and I was as

0:13:42 > 0:13:46well because I was told that the risk of me getting cancer again was

0:13:46 > 0:13:5250%, so it didn't seem worth the risk, really.A new study followed

0:13:52 > 0:13:55nearly 3000 women aged 40 or younger diagnosed with breast cancer in

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Britain.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59It found no difference in survival between those who carried

0:13:59 > 0:14:01the BRCA breast cancer genes and those who didn't.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04And it found no survival benefit from a double mastectomy.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08After ten years, around seven in ten women survived in all groups.

0:14:08 > 0:14:14So what does this mean for women carrying a BRCA gene?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17I think the key message is that it allows them time to consider

0:14:17 > 0:14:23all of their options, so they may still need to go ahead

0:14:23 > 0:14:25and have a double mastectomy because of their risk

0:14:25 > 0:14:27and for long-term survival.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29But I think it encourages us to think that they can

0:14:29 > 0:14:32take their time and discuss and consider all of

0:14:32 > 0:14:34their options and make the right decision for them.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37This study didn't look at prevention.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41One in 450 women carry faulty BRCA genes.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45It means they have a 45-90% chance of getting breast cancer,

0:14:45 > 0:14:49and many women with a strong family history of breast cancer

0:14:49 > 0:14:52opt for preventative double mastectomies,

0:14:52 > 0:15:00which almost eliminate the risk.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Like Angelina Jolie, the actress and campaigner who revealed she had

0:15:05 > 0:15:13preventative surgery, which led to greatly raised awareness of BRCA

0:15:13 > 0:15:19gene mutations. This study looked only at young women like Laura. 97%

0:15:19 > 0:15:24of breast cancers are in the over 40s. Laura says if she had her time

0:15:24 > 0:15:29again, she might have delayed having a double mastectomy, but she has no

0:15:29 > 0:15:35regrets. Fergus Walsh, BBC News.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Our top story this evening.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Donald Trump says he won't be coming to London and he's accused of racism

0:15:39 > 0:15:41over alleged comments about African countries.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Still to come...

0:15:42 > 0:15:43MUSIC

0:15:43 > 0:15:46And taking the airwaves by storm - the 21-year-old from Norway who's

0:15:46 > 0:15:49the BBC's Sound of 2018.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Johanna Konta carries British hopes at the first tennis Major of 2018,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57but there's a row off the court about a court ahead

0:15:57 > 0:16:05of the first round of Australian Open in Melbourne.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's the Queen as you've never seen or heard her before.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19To mark the 65th anniversary of her Coronation in 1953,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Her Majesty has been giving a unique insight into the day

0:16:21 > 0:16:23and what it meant to her.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25She's been speaking to the royal commentator Alastair Bruce

0:16:25 > 0:16:26for a BBC programme.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28A key piece of advice for any would be Monarch

0:16:28 > 0:16:30don't look down, as our Royal Correspondent

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Nicholas Witchell reports.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33She famously doesn't do interviews.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35This is probably as close as she'll get,

0:16:35 > 0:16:39a conversation with questions about the Coronation, the Crown Jewels,

0:16:39 > 0:16:41and the Imperial State Crown worn by her and her father,

0:16:41 > 0:16:48King George VI.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Fortunately, my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Once you put it on, it stays.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54It just remains itself.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56You have to keep your head very still?

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Yes.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58It was huge then.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Yes.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Very unwieldy.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02You can't look down to read a speech,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04you have take the speech up

0:17:04 > 0:17:10because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11It's difficult to always remember that diamonds

0:17:11 > 0:17:17are stones, so very heavy.

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yes.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19So there are some disadvantages to crowns.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23But otherwise, they're quite important things.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26She rode to her coronation in the gold State Coach.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28It weighs four tons.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's not built for comfort.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Horrible.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's not meant for travelling in at all.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39It's only sprung on leather.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40So it rocks around a lot.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's not very comfortable.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Were you in it for a long time?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Halfway round London.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Really?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50We must have gone about four or five miles -

0:17:50 > 0:17:52we could only go at a walking pace.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54The horses couldn't possibly go any faster.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57It's so heavy.

0:17:57 > 0:17:5965 years after the event, a monarch talking

0:17:59 > 0:18:04about her coronation - the Crown - the real one.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11And you can see The Coronation on Sunday evening

0:18:11 > 0:18:13at 8 o'clock on BBC One.

0:18:13 > 0:18:19There's been a breakthrough in the talks aimed at forming

0:18:19 > 0:18:21a new coalition government in Germany between the Chancellor,

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats and their rivals,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24the Social Democrats.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26After the general election back in September, the two sides have

0:18:26 > 0:18:29at last reached a preliminary deal and are now expected to discuss

0:18:29 > 0:18:31a detailed programme for government.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's expected to include a pledge to work closely with France

0:18:33 > 0:18:38to strengthen the Eurozone.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41A sex offender is alleged to have carried out a serious assault

0:18:41 > 0:18:44in jail on a female officer he barricaded his cell.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48BBC News understands the prison officer was attacked

0:18:48 > 0:18:50during a routine cell check at Littlehey jail.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51Cambridgeshire Police said a 27-year-old man

0:18:51 > 0:18:57was "under investigation".

0:18:57 > 0:18:59The Government is being urged to bring contracts

0:18:59 > 0:19:02from the construction giant Carillion back into public control

0:19:02 > 0:19:04amid fears it could collapse.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06It's a major supplier to the Government and has contracts

0:19:06 > 0:19:09in the rail industry - including building HS2 -

0:19:09 > 0:19:10education and the NHS.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16It's struggled since reporting half-year losses of over £1 billion

0:19:16 > 0:19:17and a significant pension deficit.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Our business editor Simon Jack is here.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25If Carillion goes under, so do many huge government projects.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Yes, Carillion is no ordinary private company.It's got some very

0:19:28 > 0:19:33sensitive public service contracts with prisons, schools and hospitals.

0:19:33 > 0:19:38It's in big trouble. The BBC has learned that the Ministry of Justice

0:19:38 > 0:19:44is drawing up plans to bring a £200 million contract for maintenance and

0:19:44 > 0:19:48prisons back under public control. Perhaps unsurprising given the fact

0:19:48 > 0:19:51this company has been struggling for its life all week. On Wednesday it

0:19:51 > 0:19:59met the banks to is Sikh whom it owes money to detail plans, it was

0:19:59 > 0:20:02rejected. On Thursday there was a meeting with the Department for

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Transport to look at the options if it got into trouble. Today they talk

0:20:06 > 0:20:10to the pension regulators to look at what happens to the 28,000 pension

0:20:10 > 0:20:15scheme members who would receive reduced benefits if it fell into

0:20:15 > 0:20:20administration. The really bad news would be if it did go under, that

0:20:20 > 0:20:29army of subcontractors who rely on Carillion for payment of supply. It

0:20:29 > 0:20:34also brings up the question of farming out public sector contracts

0:20:34 > 0:20:39to the private sector. Is Carillion too sensitive to fail? No? Will the

0:20:39 > 0:20:43government 11 he can to stop that happening? Yes.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Facebook says it's changing its news feed to make users' time

0:20:46 > 0:20:50on the social media site more meaningful.

0:20:50 > 0:20:55Here's our Media Editor, Amol Rajan.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Mark Zuckerberg's social network has become of the biggest distributors

0:20:59 > 0:21:02of news in history. Today the company went back to its social

0:21:02 > 0:21:06roots. He said he wants to make sure the time we spend on Facebook is

0:21:06 > 0:21:13time well spent.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16time well spent. Facebook's founder admits users are being fed a heavy

0:21:16 > 0:21:21diet of news and adverts. Together with the more personal posts from

0:21:21 > 0:21:24friends and family. In Bristol today, many young Facebook users

0:21:24 > 0:21:31agreed.It's full of adverts for shopping and baby things at the

0:21:31 > 0:21:35moment, stuff I search on Google. So I think it would be a lot better if

0:21:35 > 0:21:39it was just based around friends and family without any adverts.I just

0:21:39 > 0:21:44feel like I'm being sold to the whole time. People are making

0:21:44 > 0:21:48assumptions about my opinions, my tastes, things I'm interested in.

0:21:48 > 0:21:54Mark Zuckerberg says he's changing the goal to make you have more

0:21:54 > 0:21:56meaningful social interactions. That means less news and more friends and

0:21:56 > 0:22:03family. This is the biggest change to Facebook for many years. It

0:22:03 > 0:22:06follows controversy over the promotion of fake news with the of

0:22:06 > 0:22:11the platform is being used by foreign powers to subvert democracy.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Today's changes aren't being driven by those concerns but are clearly an

0:22:15 > 0:22:20attempt to restore trust in a global brand, and the impact on our news

0:22:20 > 0:22:25ecosystem could be huge. Mark Zuckerberg now accepts multiple news

0:22:25 > 0:22:29is of equal value but his changes could damage some reputable news

0:22:29 > 0:22:35providers who have come to rely on his platform.The elephant in the

0:22:35 > 0:22:39rim is fake news and how they are trying to clean up the timelines.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43The fear for publishers like us is that the baby gets thrown out with a

0:22:43 > 0:22:47bath water and we lose the really important real journalism along with

0:22:47 > 0:22:53the fake news that they are trying to get rid of.Google is often

0:22:53 > 0:22:58described as part of a duopoly that is swallowing the industries

0:22:58 > 0:23:03together with Facebook. Today in a rare interview, Google's most senior

0:23:03 > 0:23:07British executives seem to see this as an opportunity.There's an upside

0:23:07 > 0:23:12to traditional media moving to the digital world. You can reach 5

0:23:12 > 0:23:18billion people, you can use video. You know yourself as a journalist,

0:23:18 > 0:23:22there's a huge ability to tell the important stories in new ways and

0:23:22 > 0:23:25people are turning to the digital world more than ever before to

0:23:25 > 0:23:30understand the news.For Facebook's young missionary founder, a

0:23:30 > 0:23:34short-term hit in revenues is worth it to lay accusations that it's

0:23:34 > 0:23:38becoming the anti-social network.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Winning the coveted BBC Music Sound of The Year prize can be an early

0:23:41 > 0:23:43predictor of chart success and critical acclaim.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Artists like Sam Smith and Adele have won it in the past.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48This year, it's gone to a 21-year-old singer called

0:23:48 > 0:23:53Sigrid, as our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba explains.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54MUSIC: "Strangers" by Sigrid.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57# Like strangers

0:23:57 > 0:24:01# Perfect pretenders...#.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03The infectious pop sound of Sigrid.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05# We're falling head over heels

0:24:05 > 0:24:06# For something that ain't real

0:24:06 > 0:24:09# It could never be us...#.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11The 21-year-old Norwegian singer has been writing

0:24:11 > 0:24:15and performing for years.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17# I don't want you, all you want is someone...#.

0:24:17 > 0:24:22Now, she's won one of music's most important awards for new talent.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26In the BBC Sound of 2018 list, Sigrid, you are the winner.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29What?!

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Number one.

0:24:33 > 0:24:40What does it mean to you to have won this?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Oh God, of course you're asking that question right

0:24:42 > 0:24:44when I'm about to cry!

0:24:44 > 0:24:45How to describe that?

0:24:45 > 0:24:46It means a lot.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48We welcome Sigrid!

0:24:48 > 0:24:51MUSIC: "Don't Kill My Vibe" by Sigrid.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53She's been steadily gaining support for the last 12 months,

0:24:53 > 0:24:55gathering fans from Jools Holland...

0:24:55 > 0:24:58# Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh

0:24:58 > 0:25:06# Don't kill my vibe...#.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10To thousands at Glastonbury.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14# Just like in the movies...#.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Like Robyn and Zara Larsson before her, Sigrid is another huge

0:25:17 > 0:25:21talent to emerge from Scandinavia.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I think Scandinavian musicians are good at melodies,

0:25:24 > 0:25:27because English is our second language, and I think that creates

0:25:27 > 0:25:29that barrier where you have to concentrate a lot

0:25:29 > 0:25:33about the melody.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Melodies that have helped her win this industry accolade.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40I'm very lucky and happy, and it's a great way to start this year.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Lizo Mzimba, BBC News.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Time for a look at the weather.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Here's Helen Willetts.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53It just seems to have been graver days, is that going to

0:25:53 > 0:25:54It just seems to have been graver days, is that going to change?Yes

0:25:54 > 0:25:59it is. I'm fed up of the fog and grey weather.We are going to clear

0:25:59 > 0:26:04it away but by clearing it away we will get colder next week because

0:26:04 > 0:26:08it's windy. Frequent showers will fall as sleet and snow and even

0:26:08 > 0:26:10later in the week there is a good chance we could see some snow

0:26:10 > 0:26:16further south. We have had some lovely pictures of sunshine in today

0:26:16 > 0:26:20where we've had it across parts of Wales and Southwest. For many it's

0:26:20 > 0:26:26been dreary and then we've got a more substantial weather front

0:26:26 > 0:26:29coming into Northern Ireland through the night. It will cross the Irish

0:26:29 > 0:26:33Sea into western fringes of England and Wales. There will be an awful

0:26:33 > 0:26:38lot of low cloud. Misty grey weather tomorrow morning, fog over the

0:26:38 > 0:26:45hills. After the sunshine today we wake up to some rather grey skies

0:26:45 > 0:26:49and some leaden skies with rain across the South West of England and

0:26:49 > 0:26:54the south-west of Wales. For Central and eastern areas, pretty much as

0:26:54 > 0:26:57today. There might be a bit of sunshine across East Anglia but we

0:26:57 > 0:27:01have that week weather front around so a bit of drizzly rain around.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Something more substantial than Northern Ireland, and western

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Scotland eventually. For most of Scotland it is a cold and frosty

0:27:07 > 0:27:13start. Here we will see the lion's share of the sunshine across the

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Highland region tomorrow. For most of us even though the breeze will

0:27:16 > 0:27:21lift the cloud to make it a bit less grey, it will still be a cloudy day

0:27:21 > 0:27:24for most. The rain starts to move a bit further east so it will be

0:27:24 > 0:27:27dumper by the end of the day for the south-west of Scotland. Then that

0:27:27 > 0:27:34weather front doesn't make much progress further east. It tends to

0:27:34 > 0:27:41fizzle out. A bit odd smattering of snow in the Scottish islands. We are

0:27:41 > 0:27:46seeing cloudier shies, largely frost free. Once again on Sunday we've got

0:27:46 > 0:27:49the remnants of two-week weather fronts. There's going to be a lot of

0:27:49 > 0:27:54cloud again. Chances are we will see some brightness but not that much.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58If you look to the north-west, that's the sign of a change. This is

0:27:58 > 0:28:02quite a large area of low pressure dominating the North Atlantic which

0:28:02 > 0:28:06will push a spell of wet and windy weather through into Sunday night

0:28:06 > 0:28:11and Monday. Behind that will get the cold air in. Quite a significant

0:28:11 > 0:28:15wind chill but at least we'll see some sunshine returning.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17A reminder of our main story.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20A reminder of our main story.

0:28:20 > 0:28:25Donald Trump says he won't be coming to London and he is accused of

0:28:25 > 0:28:28racism over alleged comments about African countries.

0:28:28 > 0:28:41That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me -
