:01:07. > :01:09.The White House has vowed to fight the news media "tooth and nail,"
:01:10. > :01:16.over what officials see as unfair attacks on President Trump.
:01:17. > :01:18.The new administration has taken issue with the number
:01:19. > :01:22.of people who attended the inauguration on Friday.
:01:23. > :01:23.President Trump claims at least a million people
:01:24. > :01:26.turned out, but aerial photographs appear to tell a different story.
:01:27. > :01:37.With more - here's our North America Editor Jon Sopel.
:01:38. > :01:40.The weightiest issues on the planet were discussed
:01:41. > :01:47.at Donald Trump's inaugural address, but what the president is in a white
:01:48. > :01:49.rage about are suggestions that the crowds for him were not
:01:50. > :01:52.as big as they were for Barack Obama eight years ago, even though
:01:53. > :01:54.the evidence is incontrovertible, as these two photos,
:01:55. > :01:57.each taken 45 minutes before the inauguration
:01:58. > :02:03.But last night, journalists were summoned to the most
:02:04. > :02:08.extraordinary White House briefing to be told they were lying.
:02:09. > :02:11.This was the largest audience to ever witness
:02:12. > :02:15.This kind of dishonesty in the media, the challenging,
:02:16. > :02:18.the bringing of our nation together, is making it more difficult.
:02:19. > :02:21.There has been a lot of talk in the media
:02:22. > :02:23.about the responsibility to hold Donald Trump accountable,
:02:24. > :02:25.and I'm here to tell you that it goes two ways.
:02:26. > :02:28.We are going to hold the press accountable as well.
:02:29. > :02:33.Earlier in the day from Donald Trump, on a visit
:02:34. > :02:36.to CIA headquarters, a similar attack, though this time
:02:37. > :02:46.As you know, I have a running war with the media.
:02:47. > :02:49.They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth.
:02:50. > :02:52.They sort of made it sound like I had a feud
:02:53. > :02:57.But, hang on a minute, how do you reconcile the suggestion
:02:58. > :03:00.that it's all got up by the journalists when he
:03:01. > :03:07.He accused the intelligence services of leaking material against him,
:03:08. > :03:09.and suggested their behaviour made it seem as though we were
:03:10. > :03:16.And today, key lieutenants were intensifying their attacks.
:03:17. > :03:18.There is an obsession by the media to delegitimise this president,
:03:19. > :03:24.and we are not going to sit around and let it happen.
:03:25. > :03:27.Our press secretary gave alternative facts to that.
:03:28. > :03:32.Look, alternative facts are not facts, they are falsehoods.
:03:33. > :03:34.Part of this can be put down to Donald Trump's obsession
:03:35. > :03:37.with the size of his crowd, but there is deliberate
:03:38. > :03:42.It seems the White House wants to undermine the conventional media
:03:43. > :03:45.so that Donald Trump is able to present his own version
:03:46. > :03:49.of reality through Twitter and Facebook without any mediation,
:03:50. > :03:54.and say to the public, who do you believe, me
:03:55. > :04:02.And while this battle plays itself out, the satirists are making hay.
:04:03. > :04:07.This is their take on what Vladimir Putin makes of it all.
:04:08. > :04:11.I am glad to see so many people showed up to your inauguration.
:04:12. > :04:25.So where does the Trump administration's approach
:04:26. > :04:31.Josh Lederman is White House Correspondent
:04:32. > :04:34.for the Associated Press - he was in Saturday's press briefing,
:04:35. > :04:37.when Sean Spicer outlined why he thought the press was inaccurate
:04:38. > :04:39.in its reporting of the crowds at the inauguration,
:04:40. > :04:46.and then declined to take any questions.
:04:47. > :04:55.What was your reaction? This was a stunning departure from what the
:04:56. > :05:01.White House press corps was used to under previous administrations and
:05:02. > :05:07.as far back as we can recall. I think journalists in the US are not
:05:08. > :05:10.exactly sure what is going to be the approach point forward. Journalists
:05:11. > :05:15.are used to getting some criticism from politicians, that is natural
:05:16. > :05:19.and part of the process, we are supposed to have an adversarial
:05:20. > :05:24.relationship which is OK. What we are not used to our things being
:05:25. > :05:27.stared from the podium which are demonstrated be false, things that
:05:28. > :05:34.we would have to go away on sale at the press secretary in front of the
:05:35. > :05:37.presidential seal just said the most people attended Trump's inauguration
:05:38. > :05:42.of any in history, that is actually not true. I think you'll see
:05:43. > :05:47.aggressive attempts by the press corps to try to fact check the Trump
:05:48. > :05:52.administration in real-time, to push back and continue to do our jobs in
:05:53. > :05:55.the way we did under previous administrations even if the
:05:56. > :06:01.circumstances are different. You spoke about fact checking in but are
:06:02. > :06:04.there other strategies reporters can use, for instance Donald Trump in a
:06:05. > :06:09.previous press conferences and speak to CNN, he called them fake news and
:06:10. > :06:16.could bus feed fake news, is there another reporters can take to come
:06:17. > :06:19.together and tackle this? One thing journalists are keeping in mind is
:06:20. > :06:26.the fact that the White House and the press office I'm not the only
:06:27. > :06:29.conduits for information. There is a massive federal bureaucracy filled
:06:30. > :06:33.with people who serve in both administrations and we are going to
:06:34. > :06:37.turn to for information about what the administration is doing. There
:06:38. > :06:41.are lawmakers in Congress, members of the US Congress who are also
:06:42. > :06:45.getting information from the administration and from their own
:06:46. > :06:48.sources who can help us and the American people understand what is
:06:49. > :06:53.going on. Daryl kinds of groups outside of government that will be
:06:54. > :06:57.working to try and hold the government accountable that'll have
:06:58. > :07:00.their take on the situation. I'm interested in how this relationship
:07:01. > :07:04.was Sean Spicer, Donald Trump and the rest of the administration, how
:07:05. > :07:10.it compares so far with the last administration. There is really no
:07:11. > :07:16.comparison. What we're seeing in the Trump administration is them trying
:07:17. > :07:23.to use what he called yesterday, a running war with the media, as a
:07:24. > :07:28.tool to posture and to position himself to remind his supporters
:07:29. > :07:32.that he is still fighting against the establishment, whatever the
:07:33. > :07:35.establishment means. The reality is here is that Donald Trump is the
:07:36. > :07:40.establishment, he is the most powerful person in the country up
:07:41. > :07:44.and arguably the world. He directs the entire federal government so it
:07:45. > :07:48.is a bit of a transition for him to be in the place where he is now
:07:49. > :07:53.calling the shots. All of the responsibility is on him and he will
:07:54. > :07:59.be the one taking the flak if he is not able to deliver on the promises
:08:00. > :08:01.he made. Just in time, we have lost timber thank you.
:08:02. > :08:03.Mr Trump has also announced that he plans to start talks
:08:04. > :08:06.on the trade deal which exists between the US, Mexico
:08:07. > :08:09.He made the announcemennt on the NAFTA agreement
:08:10. > :08:16.at an oath-taking ceremony for White House staff.
:08:17. > :08:19.I will start renegotiating on Nafta, on immigration,
:08:20. > :08:22.and on security at the border, and Mexico has been terrific,
:08:23. > :08:29.The president has been really very amazing, and I think we're
:08:30. > :08:32.going to have a very good result for Mexico, for the United States,
:08:33. > :08:37.for everybody involved - it's very important.
:08:38. > :08:41.Just time to tell you that there's a new BBC programme starting Monday
:08:42. > :08:43.on Donald Trump's first hundred days and all the key
:08:44. > :08:46.It's hosted by Katty Kay in Washington,
:08:47. > :09:01.And it begins at 1900 gmt here on BBC World News.
:09:02. > :09:06.After a week of political uncertainty...
:09:07. > :09:09.arrived in Gambia's capital Banjul, in preparation for the return
:09:10. > :09:11.of the man the people elected president, Adama Barrow.
:09:12. > :09:13.Citizens cheered as the troops arrived.
:09:14. > :09:15.ECOWAS had threatened intervention should Mr Barrow's predecessor,
:09:16. > :09:19.Yahyuh Jam-meh refuse to give up power after losing the elections.
:09:20. > :09:22.He left the country in the early hours of Sunday morning
:09:23. > :09:38.There is a great sense of relief here in the capital of the Gambia
:09:39. > :09:45.following the departure of the former leader. Life is picking up
:09:46. > :09:51.after three days of a total shutdown where people stayed home in fear of
:09:52. > :09:57.violence as West African States were mounting against the former
:09:58. > :10:03.strongman in order to have him step down. There was a declaration issued
:10:04. > :10:07.by the United Nations and the regional bloc ECOWAS saying they
:10:08. > :10:14.would work together to ensure that there is no witch hunting of former
:10:15. > :10:18.members of the regime and its supporters and that they would
:10:19. > :10:22.prevent the seizure of assets and property is lawfully belonging to
:10:23. > :10:26.the former presidents. They also said he was leaving at the Gambia
:10:27. > :10:31.temporarily and he had the liberty to return as a citizen of the Gambia
:10:32. > :10:37.and the former heads of State at the time of his choosing. People here
:10:38. > :10:43.are waiting for the new president to return to the country. There will be
:10:44. > :10:50.celebrations than birds he said he would return when the path is clear
:10:51. > :10:54.and so I think they are conducting security sweeps throughout the
:10:55. > :10:58.country to make sure the conditions are met for his own safety.
:10:59. > :11:04.The Israeli authorities have approved the construction
:11:05. > :11:06.of 566 homes for settlers in occupied
:11:07. > :11:09.Jerusalem's deputy mayor said the the rules of the game had
:11:10. > :11:12.changed since the inauguration of Donald Trump.
:11:13. > :11:15.The Israeli government lays claim to the whole of Jerusalem,
:11:16. > :11:17.while the Palestinians see the occupied east as the capital
:11:18. > :11:22.Emergency workers in central Italy are continuing to search
:11:23. > :11:24.for survivors after an avalanche engulfed a hotel.
:11:25. > :11:28.At least five people are known to have died --
:11:29. > :11:33.Poor weather conditions are hindering the rescue efforts.
:11:34. > :11:39.Nine people - including four children - have so far been pulled
:11:40. > :11:45.alive from the rubble of the hotel in the Abrootso region.
:11:46. > :11:47.The first results from France's centre-left primary
:11:48. > :11:49.election have come through. Benoit Hamon from the left
:11:50. > :11:51.of the Socialist Party received the highest number of votes,
:11:52. > :11:59.The former prime minister Manuel Valls has also made it
:12:00. > :12:02.through to the second round after receiving 31
:12:03. > :12:05.The run off for the party's presidential nominee
:12:06. > :12:30.Tell us more about these two men. Voters will face a clear left right
:12:31. > :12:37.choice now in the run-up because Manuel Valls represents the social
:12:38. > :12:44.Democrats right-wing because he was in office for three years and Benoit
:12:45. > :12:48.Hamon who came first in the primary represents the left-wing comedy
:12:49. > :12:55.angry protest wing that wants to rip up the rules in Europe and rip up
:12:56. > :13:00.globalisation in terms of trade and very much more angry and
:13:01. > :13:05.antiestablishment left. It will be interesting to see which of these
:13:06. > :13:11.goes through. The arts are clearly with because they third placed
:13:12. > :13:15.candidate today is also on the left and the will put his weight behind
:13:16. > :13:21.Benoit Hamon so that should mean gets the nomination next week. Where
:13:22. > :13:27.does this place the Socialists when they do have the candidate in terms
:13:28. > :13:30.of general elections? Of course we cannot talk about these will
:13:31. > :13:35.painting the overall picture which is the Socialists in general are in
:13:36. > :13:39.such bad odour it is highly unlikely either candidate will win the
:13:40. > :13:42.presidential election. They are deeply unpopular and on top of that
:13:43. > :13:48.outflanked on either side of the left and right who are doing
:13:49. > :13:51.stronger in the polls. Whoever wins next week has an uphill battle.
:13:52. > :13:52.Thank you. Stay with us on BBC

:14:11. > :14:14.career... Whatever happened to Renton, sick boy and Begley, 20
:14:15. > :14:17.years after the film Trainspotting, we will finally get an answer.
:14:18. > :14:20.Theresa May says she has 'absolute faith,' in the UK's Trident
:14:21. > :14:29.nuclear deterrent system, despite claims an unarmed missile
:14:30. > :14:31.veered off course during a test last summer.
:14:32. > :14:37.she declined to say whether she knew of the incident, before a crucial

:14:49. > :14:51.This is an inner missile covered with telemetry indicators and that
:14:52. > :14:56.sort of thing, it doesn't have a warhead and it is designed to go
:14:57. > :14:59.somewhere where there is no land. Anything could have gone wrong, it
:15:00. > :15:06.could've been a component failure or a software glitch. I think as Lord
:15:07. > :15:11.West said just now, this is really unusual for this to happen. If it
:15:12. > :15:13.did then I'm sure the engineers and the geeks are all over to the

:15:32. > :15:32.Trump's team accuses the media of a concerted attempt to undermine his
:15:33. > :15:44.presidency. A court in Iran's rejected an appeal
:15:45. > :15:50.against a five year prison sentence given to a woman with dual British
:15:51. > :15:52.and Iranian citizenship. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is accused of
:15:53. > :15:54.security offences. She was detained while trying to leave the country
:15:55. > :16:06.with her two-year old daughter after visiting relatives in April. With me
:16:07. > :16:14.in the studio is her husband. Thank you for being with us. What is she
:16:15. > :16:17.accused of exactly? The formal accusation is national security
:16:18. > :16:22.related charges so we don't exactly know but in the court hearing, it
:16:23. > :16:29.turns out what she was accused of work to accusations. One of which
:16:30. > :16:33.were she was the head of recruitment for... And the wife of a known
:16:34. > :16:37.British by which was me. And the basis for that accusation was the
:16:38. > :16:40.fact there was a huge media campaign which has been done and a lot of
:16:41. > :16:45.people have been calling for her release, there were the best part of
:16:46. > :16:51.500 pages of prosecution which was the media coverage. If protesting
:16:52. > :16:55.her innocence is proving her guilt. Does she know any of these? She
:16:56. > :17:00.would have been in the courtroom so she will know but what she won't
:17:01. > :17:03.know now was that today it was announced that she had been
:17:04. > :17:06.sentenced to five years and the appeal failed. That was broken in
:17:07. > :17:18.the media so we didn't hear that from her lawyer. At the time she was
:17:19. > :17:26.having a family visit. We're seeing pictures of Manuel Valls, how are
:17:27. > :17:32.you coping? It has been ten months. My daughter has grown lots in that
:17:33. > :17:37.time. We have gone through different phases of how hard to spend and how
:17:38. > :17:43.hard to adapt the new environment. Now discovering words and working
:17:44. > :17:49.out that she lives in London. In the beginning it was terrifying, not
:17:50. > :17:52.knowing what was going on and as it has unfolded it has gotten crazy and
:17:53. > :17:58.at one point she was accused of overthrowing a regime and now I'm
:17:59. > :18:02.accused of being a spy. Different ridiculous stories coming out and
:18:03. > :18:08.sometimes it feels crazy and sometimes scary. Where do you go
:18:09. > :18:11.from here? We need to take a breath and see what's next. We have been
:18:12. > :18:14.battling quite hard to bring her home for Christmas which is where
:18:15. > :18:19.the campaign was going and that didn't happen but we had this appeal
:18:20. > :18:25.so it was something to hang onto. The minister went out last week to
:18:26. > :18:28.see if he could press the case and it's resulted in her case being
:18:29. > :18:33.reiterated so we need to think what next and clearly she is caught up in
:18:34. > :18:37.a political bargaining chip in all sorts of things so we will have to
:18:38. > :18:45.campaign a bit further and draw some breath and think what next. Thank
:18:46. > :18:51.you for coming to see us. Let's get some sports for you. Chelsea have
:18:52. > :18:57.extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
:18:58. > :19:00.Diego Costa who was dropped last week in controversial circumstances
:19:01. > :19:05.was recalled to the starting line-up for the home game. And he scored the
:19:06. > :19:11.first of Chelsea's goals. Gary K Hill, the other goal-scorer. The
:19:12. > :19:16.Chelsea manager was delighted to have Costa back and getting goals
:19:17. > :19:25.from him again. For him and to finish this big thing, he played and
:19:26. > :19:32.played very well, he scored and I'm pleased for him and pleased for our
:19:33. > :19:41.team, for the fans and for the club and I think today finish all types
:19:42. > :19:45.of speculation. Arsenal have moved up to second place in the Premier
:19:46. > :19:49.League but only after late drama at the Emirates. The winner came in the
:19:50. > :19:56.97th minute from Alexis Sanchez from the penalty spot. Burnley thought
:19:57. > :20:02.they had rescued a point when Andre Gray slotted home a penalty into
:20:03. > :20:09.injury time but Arsenal had another player sent off a dangerous tackle
:20:10. > :20:13.and Sanches happy there the end. Leicester City's problems continue,
:20:14. > :20:18.they wait for a first league win in the season, they were beaten 3-0 by

:20:29. > :20:34.and have then -- Gabon have been eliminated from the Africa cup of
:20:35. > :20:37.Nations. Burkina Faso topped the table on goal difference. Cameron
:20:38. > :20:43.also qualify for the knockout stages. Gabon the first host to fail
:20:44. > :20:48.to get past the first round since Tunisia in 94. Andy Murray says it
:20:49. > :20:52.wasn't to be after he was knocked out in the fourth round of the
:20:53. > :20:58.Australian open by the world number 50. Murray lost the opening set and
:20:59. > :21:05.then took the second but Spero won the third and fourth. A big
:21:06. > :21:11.disappointment for Murray who had been hoping to win the title in
:21:12. > :21:15.Melbourne for the first time. It is one of the biggest days in sport of
:21:16. > :21:20.the year in the USA and in the next few hours we know which few teams

:21:24. > :21:27.taking place and the New England Patriot are at home to the
:21:28. > :21:33.Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC, but first off the Green Bay Packers are

:21:59. > :22:06.Ben Stokes had a 39 ball 57 and the total for India was just short but
:22:07. > :22:10.they still win the series 2-1. The BBC understands Bernie Ecclestone
:22:11. > :22:14.could step down as the Formula 1 chief executive as soon as this
