0:00:09 > 0:00:10Our top stories...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13President Trump has said he won't - for the moment - pull out
0:00:13 > 0:00:17of the Iran nuclear deal.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20He's described the 2015 deal as "one of the worst in American history."
0:00:20 > 0:00:27He added that the this new 120-day waiver will be the last.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Donald Trump also denies using an offensive word to describe
0:00:30 > 0:00:32some poor countries when discussing immigration.
0:00:32 > 0:00:40The United Nations is among those calling it racist.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44These are shocking and shameful comments from the President
0:00:44 > 0:00:45of the United States.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51Sorry, but there is no other word that one can use but racist.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52And Facebook's makeover.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53The social network acknowledges that
0:00:53 > 0:00:55business posts are crowding out personal connections.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Also in the programme...
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Some advice from Queen Elizabeth on crown wearing - "Don't look
0:01:00 > 0:01:07down or it'll fall off."
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Hello and welcome to World News Today.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We begin with some news breaking in the past half hour.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23President Trump has said he won't pull out of the deal
0:01:23 > 0:01:27under which Iran agreed to curb its nuclear programme,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30even though he's described it as one of the worst in American history.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33European allies of the US had warned that the agreement was vital
0:01:33 > 0:01:35for international security.
0:01:35 > 0:01:43Let's speak to our Washington correspondent Gary O'Donoghue.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48What else did President Trump have to say?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50He was speaking through senior administration officials and
0:01:50 > 0:01:55effectively he had to come to a decision about the sanctions. These
0:01:55 > 0:02:00are the big sanctions tied to the nuclear deal, in other words Iran's
0:02:00 > 0:02:05ability to export oil, for its banking system to rejoin
0:02:05 > 0:02:10international finance system. He has decided to keep those Saturn trims
0:02:10 > 0:02:15off of Iran for a period of 120 days pay he says it is the last time he
0:02:15 > 0:02:20is going to do it and he wants European counterparts to do, the
0:02:20 > 0:02:26other signatories to the deal, to work on what he calls a follow-up
0:02:26 > 0:02:31arrangement that will put new restrictions on Iran but it will
0:02:31 > 0:02:39remove any sunset clause from the agreement, so he doesn't want Iran
0:02:39 > 0:02:44to develop a nuclear weapon and he thinks the Europeans should be able
0:02:44 > 0:02:50to agree to that, but he does not want your consultation with Iran.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Given the opposition from the other signatories, how likely he will get
0:02:54 > 0:03:00what he once in 120 days? Thereof some things that the other
0:03:00 > 0:03:03European powers are concerned about, particularly Iran's ballistic
0:03:03 > 0:03:09missile programme, some of its support for militant groups in the
0:03:09 > 0:03:14region, what they would describe as meddling in other countries, and
0:03:14 > 0:03:19there is potential room for the US and Europeans to work on applying
0:03:19 > 0:03:25pressure to Iran in those areas, but the last thing France, Germany, the
0:03:25 > 0:03:29UK, Russia, China, the other European Union countries, is pick
0:03:29 > 0:03:36current deal which took a long time to deal, which they think is working
0:03:36 > 0:03:41effectively. They will resist that significantly. Of course, Iran, if
0:03:41 > 0:03:46it will not be involved in the discussions, if it is kept away from
0:03:46 > 0:03:50the table, there is no incentive for them to follow it at all. It is a
0:03:50 > 0:03:55pretty tricky path ahead for this strategy from Donald Trump, but he
0:03:55 > 0:04:02is in a sense backed into a corner of his own making. This was a
0:04:02 > 0:04:05campaign pledge, one of the things that was good to be done on day one.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11It has not been done, and he is looking for a way to try and move
0:04:11 > 0:04:15the debate on and feeling a bit frustrated. Having said it, they are
0:04:15 > 0:04:19imposing extra sanctions that are unrelated to the nuclear deal, 14
0:04:19 > 0:04:23extra ones on businesses and individuals, including a sanction on
0:04:23 > 0:04:29one individual who is a senior judge in Iran and a brother of the Speaker
0:04:29 > 0:04:35of the parliament. That will annoy terror an considerably, I suspect.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39-- that will annoy the capital Iran a lot.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42This comes hot on the heels of President Trump appearing to deny
0:04:42 > 0:04:44using offensive language to describe some poor countries.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47His reported comments during a meeting about immigration
0:04:47 > 0:04:51with lawmakers at the White House have caused international outrage.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55He asked why the US should take in people from places such as Haiti,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58El Salvador and some African nations.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01El Salvador's Foreign Minister says he's sent a formal
0:05:01 > 0:05:03letter of protest.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05The President is widely reported to have used a vulgar
0:05:05 > 0:05:14and derogatory term - one that you are about to hear.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18President Trump is known for making what some perceive as racially
0:05:18 > 0:05:22charged remarks, for many around the world, they will seem especially
0:05:22 > 0:05:26shocking. The context for them intense negotiations with lawmakers
0:05:26 > 0:05:31about what to do about migrants who come to the US illegally as
0:05:31 > 0:05:34children. According to the Washington Post, President Trump
0:05:34 > 0:05:40said... White...
0:05:40 > 0:05:45said... White... They say these remarks could be devastating.These
0:05:45 > 0:05:49are shocking and shameful comments from the president of the United
0:05:49 > 0:05:54States. Sorry, but there is no other word but someone can use but racist.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The president is understood to be referring partly to Haiti, recently
0:05:58 > 0:06:02hit by a hurricane Ammon of Central America's poorest countries. There
0:06:02 > 0:06:07has been a strong reaction from there. TRANSLATION:If we were to
0:06:07 > 0:06:14leave the United States, it would be bad for the American economy, not
0:06:14 > 0:06:19just... Between best in the United States.In addition to the
0:06:19 > 0:06:23neighbours, Donald Trump spoke of African nations are named rocketry
0:06:23 > 0:06:30way. There has been a mixed response.You should rectify what he
0:06:30 > 0:06:35said.We have to deal with our own problems here, we do not need to
0:06:35 > 0:06:42comment on what President Trump says about Africa.We do lots of...In
0:06:42 > 0:06:47contrast, he is wondered why the US should not have more people from
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Norway. Mr Trump has since tweeted that...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Norway. Mr Trump has since tweeted that...
0:06:54 > 0:07:01Norway. Mr Trump has since tweeted that...
0:07:01 > 0:07:05That many senior politicians were in the room and stand by their claims
0:07:05 > 0:07:11that the president did use the offensive terminology.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17We have been hearing from one of those politicians president at the
0:07:17 > 0:07:20meeting, the Democratic senator Hugh maintains Donald Trump did use the
0:07:20 > 0:07:26offensive term. Let's have a listen. He made his presentation, the
0:07:26 > 0:07:30president interrupted him several times with questions and in the
0:07:30 > 0:07:38course of his comments said things that where hate filled, vile. He
0:07:38 > 0:07:44used those words. I understand how powerful they are, but I cannot
0:07:44 > 0:07:49believe that in the history of the White House, in that office, any
0:07:49 > 0:07:53president has ever spoken the words that I personally heard our
0:07:53 > 0:07:58president speak yesterday. You have seen the comments in the press and I
0:07:58 > 0:08:03have not read one of them that is inaccurate. To no surprise, the
0:08:03 > 0:08:07president started tweeting this morning, denying he used those
0:08:07 > 0:08:11words. It is not true. He said these hate filled with things and he said
0:08:11 > 0:08:17them repeatedly.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22them repeatedly.Our Washington correspondence had more.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25There has been a barrage of international criticism. The United
0:08:25 > 0:08:33States official saying these comments as racist, Botswana has
0:08:33 > 0:08:39contacted the Trump Administration to find out whether this slur that
0:08:39 > 0:08:43the president allegedly used applies to them. But some people in the
0:08:43 > 0:08:47White House take a different view of the whole controversy. There are
0:08:47 > 0:08:51some people in the White House who have told reporters that they think
0:08:51 > 0:08:55the alleged remark will work well with his Republican votes. I have to
0:08:55 > 0:09:00say, lots of Republicans are horrified by what comes out of his
0:09:00 > 0:09:05mouth. There is the political sense at the White House that this is a
0:09:05 > 0:09:08plus for the president with some of his supporters, and one reporter has
0:09:08 > 0:09:15been taught about last night, the president was doing a victory lap.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20President Trump had a meeting that was televised on television where he
0:09:20 > 0:09:23brought together lawmakers. They have tried to hammer out a
0:09:23 > 0:09:27compromise that would involve four Trump the building of a wall for
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Democrats, it would mean more leniency. He has not been able to
0:09:33 > 0:09:41get a deal this week. Also, I saw something I never saw before, and I
0:09:41 > 0:09:45have been in Washington on time, and that is a president appearing in the
0:09:45 > 0:09:51West Wing and being asked by reporters, are you and it is
0:09:51 > 0:10:00unfortunate. -- are you a racist was back and he was signing a
0:10:00 > 0:10:02proclamation in honour of the great civil rights fighter Martin Luther
0:10:02 > 0:10:07King.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Pakistan has deployed paramilitary forces to suppress
0:10:09 > 0:10:12riots in the eastern town of Kasur, following the rape and killing
0:10:12 > 0:10:13of a six-year-old girl.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Protesters are angry at the police for failing to find those
0:10:15 > 0:10:18responsible for a series of child murders over the past two years.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Officials say the situation is tense but has been brought under control
0:10:21 > 0:10:22after two days of violence.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Our Pakistan correspondent Secunder Kermani has more.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32So far today, Kasur has remained calm.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35There is a big police presence, but there hasn't
0:10:35 > 0:10:36been the kind of angry
0:10:36 > 0:10:39protest that we have seen over the past few days following the
0:10:39 > 0:10:43discovery of the body of six-year-old Zainab Ansari.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47There is, though, amongst the investigating team, a sense of
0:10:47 > 0:10:49urgency that whoever killed her needs to be caught.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52We have seen a police document that reveals that in
0:10:52 > 0:10:56this city, over the past year, 11 young girls have been attacked.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02Traces of the same DNA have been found on the bodies of six of them.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06All of them were abducted from close to their homes, all of their bodies
0:11:06 > 0:11:12were later recovered, also nearby to their homes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Only one of them survived.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14She is currently in hospital.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Her relatives say she is unable to
0:11:16 > 0:11:19talk and unable to move from the head down.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22TRANSLATION:If this happened to the daughter of a
0:11:22 > 0:11:25politician, then wouldn't they have got the attacker by now?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Our family is poor, so no one cares.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Zainab's family has some
0:11:30 > 0:11:32political connections, that is why they have
0:11:32 > 0:11:33had so much attention.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35All six girls went missing from the same
0:11:35 > 0:11:36small neighbourhood.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41The police do have a grainy CCTV image of the
0:11:41 > 0:11:45suspect and a manhunt is under way to try and find him.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48But many in the city still pose the question, why
0:11:48 > 0:11:56wasn't more done earlier?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Facebook has announced what it says is a major
0:12:00 > 0:12:03change to its news feed - prioritising posts from family
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and friends, over those from media organisations and businesses.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07The BBC's media Editor Amol Rajan reports.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Mark Zuckerberg's social network has become of the biggest
0:12:11 > 0:12:13distributors of news in history.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Today the company went back to its social roots.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18He said he wants to make sure the time we spend
0:12:18 > 0:12:25on Facebook is time well spent.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Facebook's founder admits users are being fed a heavy diet
0:12:31 > 0:12:33of news and adverts, together with the more personal
0:12:33 > 0:12:36posts from friends and family.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42In Bristol today, many young Facebook users agreed.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's full of adverts for shopping and baby things at the moment,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47stuff I search on Google.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51So I think it would be a lot better if it was just based around friends
0:12:51 > 0:12:52and family without any adverts.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I just feel like I'm being sold to the whole time.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57People are making assumptions about my opinions, my tastes,
0:12:57 > 0:13:02things I'm interested in.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Zuckerberg says he's changing the goal to make you have more
0:13:04 > 0:13:08meaningful social interactions.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13That means less news and more friends and family.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16This is the biggest change to Facebook for many years.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21It follows controversy over the promotion of fake news
0:13:21 > 0:13:23with fears the platforms being used by foreign powers
0:13:23 > 0:13:24to subvert democracy.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Today's changes aren't being driven by those concerns but are clearly
0:13:29 > 0:13:32an attempt to restore trust in a global brand, and the impact
0:13:32 > 0:13:36on our news ecosystem could be huge.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Mark Zuckerberg clearly accepts multiple news is of equal value
0:13:39 > 0:13:41but his changes could damage some reputable news providers who have
0:13:41 > 0:13:47come to rely on his platform.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The elephant in the room is fake news and how they are trying
0:13:50 > 0:13:53to clean up the timelines.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58The fear for publishers like us is that the baby gets thrown out
0:13:58 > 0:14:01with the bath water and we lose the really important real journalism
0:14:01 > 0:14:04along with the fake news that they are trying to get rid of.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Google is often described as part of a duopoly
0:14:09 > 0:14:13that is swallowing the industries, together with Facebook.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Today in a rare interview, Google's most senior British
0:14:16 > 0:14:19executive seemed to see this as an opportunity.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22There's an upside to traditional media moving to the digital world.
0:14:22 > 0:14:29You can reach 5 billion people, you can use video.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32You know yourself as a journalist, there's a huge ability to tell
0:14:32 > 0:14:35the important stories in new ways and people are turning
0:14:35 > 0:14:40to the digital world more than ever before to understand the news.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44For Facebook's young missionary founder, a short-term hit
0:14:44 > 0:14:47in revenues is worth it to lay to rest accusations that it's
0:14:47 > 0:14:52becoming the anti-social network.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Joining me from San Fransisco is Alex Kantrowitz, he's
0:14:54 > 0:15:00the Senior Technology Reporter at Buzzfeed.
0:15:01 > 0:15:08Just how big is this? This is very big. It usually rules
0:15:08 > 0:15:13out changes and it is a little blog post, but we saw Mark Zucker Berg
0:15:13 > 0:15:17post this time, every executive that I follow from Facebook, on Facebook
0:15:17 > 0:15:21is posting about it, so I think you can expect these changes to be big
0:15:21 > 0:15:30and meaningful and impact businesses and the media in significant ways.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32What you think has driven these changes?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I think it is very clear, I think Facebook had been transitioning from
0:15:36 > 0:15:44a platform of friends and family to a platform that emphasised branded
0:15:44 > 0:15:50content and publications. And after the 2016 US election, I think there
0:15:50 > 0:15:58is a questionable value. They saw passive consumption of news content
0:15:58 > 0:16:04making people feel bad, they sought friends and publishing that was so
0:16:04 > 0:16:09impressive that it did not make people feel good about posting their
0:16:09 > 0:16:12amateur videos and photos, so I think Facebook took that into
0:16:12 > 0:16:25account and thinks we should deemphasise publications and brands.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Ordinary people will be happy that they can see friends and family and
0:16:28 > 0:16:32what they are rocked. What about the advertisers, the people that hate
0:16:32 > 0:16:37beyond that, because isn't there a message going to be crowded out?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40They will be really upset, in my opinion. They have spent lots of
0:16:40 > 0:16:47money trying to hold on Facebook and they feel for years they have built
0:16:47 > 0:16:52up audiences and pages on Facebook and slowly but surely, Facebook has
0:16:52 > 0:16:56pulled the carpet from under them and now they are forced to pay to
0:16:56 > 0:17:01reach those audiences, so especially be small and medium-sized business
0:17:01 > 0:17:08that would rely on Facebook, you will see complaints from them and
0:17:08 > 0:17:11the big advertisers. Anyone who runs a public page that relies on
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Facebook to reach their audience is going to be pretty upset with these
0:17:14 > 0:17:19measures when we see them roll-out. In the report we just ran, one
0:17:19 > 0:17:24publisher said that they worry that reliable news will be crowded out
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and will get lost in amongst the fake news. Do you think they have
0:17:28 > 0:17:32done enough here? I think that has already been a
0:17:32 > 0:17:37problem. If you look at the Facebook platform, you have seen for a long
0:17:37 > 0:17:42time their inability to rein in fake news, and especially sensationalised
0:17:42 > 0:17:45news, which maybe takes a nugget of news and blows it out of proportion
0:17:45 > 0:17:51in a way when you wouldn't recognise it compare to a traditional news
0:17:51 > 0:17:56publication. You have already seen these publications are mainstream
0:17:56 > 0:17:59publications crowded out by the fake an sensationalised news, so I do not
0:17:59 > 0:18:03think the change will make a big difference when it comes to that. It
0:18:03 > 0:18:06will be more difficult for them to reach their audience than it already
0:18:06 > 0:18:12was. BLEEP hole Thank you for joining us.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's a social media campaign that's spread to nearly every corner
0:18:18 > 0:18:26of the world and empowered women, and men, to stand up and talk
0:18:28 > 0:18:30about their own experiences of sexual harassment and violence.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33What's called the "Me Too" movement started in the wake of numerous
0:18:33 > 0:18:35allegations made by women against Hollywood film
0:18:35 > 0:18:36producer Harvey Weinstein.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38One of those women is actress Ashley Judd.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40She's just spoken to my colleague Stephen Sackur for the BBC's
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Hardtalk programme.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Take a listen.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What we see now is the growth of a real movement
0:18:45 > 0:18:49of women speaking out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Are you satisfied that this has come about, or are you deeply frustrated
0:18:53 > 0:18:55that it has taken so long for this to come about?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57What is your overriding emotion right now?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Joy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Just unmitigated, electrifying joy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm so happy.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I'm so happy that it is here.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I have been telling this story for a long time,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14since the moment it happened, in fact, because, you know,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16my particular examples of harassment with Harvey Weinstein,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I am a "teller", to use the word that Laura Dern used the other night
0:19:20 > 0:19:21on stage at the Golden Globes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I am a "tattler".
0:19:23 > 0:19:29And I was molested for the first time when I was seven years old,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32and the first thing I did was go to a grown-up and say, "Hey,
0:19:32 > 0:19:33this just happened."
0:19:33 > 0:19:36And as so often the case, the grown-ups said, "Oh,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39he is a nice old man, that is not what he meant."
0:19:39 > 0:19:41But I somehow or another managed to stay absolutely
0:19:41 > 0:19:45authentic in my truth, that a knew something terribly wrong
0:19:45 > 0:19:48had happened, and I think that is why I am such
0:19:48 > 0:19:49a crusader for gender
0:19:49 > 0:19:51equality and for the full eradication of all gender-
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and sexual-based violence, because I experienced it as a youth,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I experienced it in Hollywood.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It has been the core of my humanitarian work for over 15 years.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And now that this movement has collectivised and catalysed
0:20:02 > 0:20:08and is here, it is incredibly gratifying to me.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10And you can see the full version of Stephen Sackur's
0:20:10 > 0:20:17interview with Ashley Judd on Monday 15th January here on BBC World News.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21The US President is also in the headlines today
0:20:21 > 0:20:24after cancelling a visit to Britain next month.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28He had been due to attend the official opening of the new US
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Embassy in south London.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32But the US president tweeted he was not a "big fan"
0:20:32 > 0:20:34of the new embassy and blamed Barack Obama's administration
0:20:34 > 0:20:37for a "bad deal" - despite the fact the move was agreed
0:20:37 > 0:20:40under George W Bush.
0:20:40 > 0:20:48Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52The new US embassy, on the south bank of the River Thames in London.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57A monument, we are told, to America's commitment to London
0:20:57 > 0:21:00that the US ambassador had hoped would be formally opened
0:21:00 > 0:21:03by Donald Trump next month.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yes, I do hope, and we are going to welcome him when he comes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Except that he is not coming.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Mr Trump said that he cancelled the trip because he opposed
0:21:12 > 0:21:14the sale of the previous embassy building by Mr Obama.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28A decision that was welcomed by his critics.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Here you have the head of state of another country who has not only
0:21:31 > 0:21:37promoted hatred and division in his own country, but is surely
0:21:37 > 0:21:39due to his online activity guilty of doing the same
0:21:39 > 0:21:41in our country as well.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Actually the decision to sell the old embassy was initially taken
0:21:44 > 0:21:52by President Bush in order to find a new location.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The old embassy had also been the scene of many demonstrations
0:21:56 > 0:21:59in the past and diplomats said it was the threat of
0:21:59 > 0:22:03similar protests that had spooked the White House.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said there would be mass
0:22:06 > 0:22:08protests like these, but peaceful ones.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, accused Mr Khan
0:22:13 > 0:22:16of putting UK-US relations at risk, a view that Downing Street didn't
0:22:16 > 0:22:17echo, but others did.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20In this country, we have the Mayor of London, Jeremy Corbyn and others
0:22:20 > 0:22:25encouraging large-scale street protests against him.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I feel that must be part of his decision.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And that is the point.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33In his first year of office, Mr Trump has travelled
0:22:33 > 0:22:40the world, including France, Germany and Belgium.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43The UK is notable for its absence.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48The US ambassador has said that this fortress of glass represents
0:22:48 > 0:22:50a new era in friendship between the US and the UK,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54a strengthening of the relationship.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58But the fear among diplomats is that the President's decision not
0:22:58 > 0:23:01to open this building signals that actually for him at least
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Britain is not a priority.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09So, for now, the closest we will get to seeing Mr Trump
0:23:09 > 0:23:11at the new embassy is this waxwork, as ministers say they look
0:23:11 > 0:23:15forward to a visit at some point in the future.
0:23:15 > 0:23:22Well, it is for the US President to determine his travel priorities.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Obviously, it's an important diplomatic partner for the UK.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29We want the closest possible relationship with the US.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Tonight, as Mr Trump honoured Martin Luther King,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36he was caught up in yet another row, having to deny making racist remarks
0:23:36 > 0:23:39about African countries.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Home or abroad, this President is rarely free from controversy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47James Landale, BBC News.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52As part of events to mark the 65th anniversary
0:23:52 > 0:23:54of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation, the BBC is broadcasting a programme
0:23:54 > 0:23:58called The Crown Jewels.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01In the programme, the Queen shares memories of the 1953 coronation
0:24:01 > 0:24:04ceremony itself as well as memories of her father, King George VI.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Here's Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10She famously doesn't do interviews.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12This is probably as close as she'll get:
0:24:12 > 0:24:18a conversation with questions about the Coronation, the Crown Jewels,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20and the Imperial State Crown worn by her and her father,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22King George VI.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Fortunately, my father and I have about the same sort of shaped head.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Once you put it on, it stays.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It just remains itself.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You have to keep your head very still?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34It was huge then.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yes.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Very unwieldy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39You can't look down to read a speech,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43you have take the speech up
0:24:43 > 0:24:45because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off.
0:24:45 > 0:24:51It's difficult to always remember that diamonds are stones,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53so very heavy.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56So there are some disadvantages to crowns.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01But otherwise, they're quite important things.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03She rode to her coronation in the gold State Coach.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It weighs four tons.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07It's not built for comfort.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Horrible.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14It's not meant for travelling in at all.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's only sprung on leather.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17So it rocks around a lot.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's not very comfortable.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Were you in it for a long time?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Halfway round London.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Really?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We must have gone about four or five miles -
0:25:28 > 0:25:29we could only go at a walking pace.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The horses couldn't possibly go any faster.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34It's so heavy.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3865 years after the event, a monarch talking
0:25:38 > 0:25:41about her coronation - the Crown - the real one.
0:25:41 > 0:25:48Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

0:25:50 > 0:25:55of the team on Twitter - I'm @DuncanGolestani
