good afternoon. donald trump has begun his presidency by sticking to his pledge to repeal barack obama's affordable healthca re plan. mr trump signed his first executive order forcing government offices to minimise the cost of the reforms until they can be overturned. the white house also signalled his intention to remove what he called "harmful and unnecessary" climate change policies. laura bicker reports. and now, the president and first lady of the united states will take their first dance. # and now the end is near...# never has a song been more appropriate for a president. donald trump got here by doing things very differently, a trait he shows no sign of losing as commander—in—chief. # i did it my way...#. should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? i think so. cheering

donald j trump and the first lady of the united states. he beamed as he arrived at galas across washington, clasping the hand of his wife and first lady. inaugural balls are part of the choreography of this historic day. and mr trump invited supporters from across the country. well, we did it. cheering we began this journey, and they said we — we and me — we didn't have a chance, but we knew we were going to win. and we won. # i did it my way.# as he shuffled around the floor, word spread that he had already made his first executive move... this is an executive order minimising the economic burden of the patient protection and affordable care act. an action that will help repeal obamaca re, his predecessor's signature health care law. across the country, gatherings of a more hostile nature sprung up from coast to coast.

in washington, over 200 people were arrested after a handful of small anti—trump rallies turned violent. in chicago, hundreds peacefully voiced their concerns at donald trump's agenda, and in seattle, they marched through the streets. further demonstrations are planned over the weekend. but the new president will shrug off this criticism, just as he did during the campaign. surrounded by family and friends, he is taking a moment to enjoy this particular piece of pageantry before the real work begins. laura bicker, bbc news. our correspondent barbara plett usher is in washington for us. barbara, what has the president got

on his agenda in his first full day in office? he will probably be watching this, to some degree. we are expecting tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of people to march here in washington and around the country. these other people were afraid of what a trump administering might bring. they are demanding that he protect minorities and women's writes. mr trump is getting off to his first day, attending a national prayer breakfast at the washington national cathedral, the last part of this official transition. he is also expected to visit the cia headquarters. you will remember he was sharply critical of them and other agencies over russian interference in the elections. it seems he will mend some fences there. as we've heard, tens of thousands are expected to join the rally in washington dc later on. it'll be one of nearly 700 demonstrations globally organised by women opposed to donald trump. women of the world, unite!

in australia, 3000 people marched to the us consulate in sydney. 0rganisers said they wanted to present a united voice with women around the world. 0ur correspondent sian grezeszcyk is in central london, where a march is also under way. what is the atmosphere there like? well, i have just what is the atmosphere there like? well, i havejust come what is the atmosphere there like? well, i have just come from the what is the atmosphere there like? well, i havejust come from the us embassy over in grosvenor square, which is where london's march got underway within the last half an hour. a very defiant, calm atmosphere with the marchers who started... they are heading this way to trafalgar square, where a rally will be held at 2pm. the organisers say that they want the trump presidency to hear loud and clear and to ensure that women's rights are protected. that is why they have joined here in solidarity. speaking to many people in the crowd, they

say it is notjust about sending a message to the white house. they say it is also about highlighting women's writes in general as well. they are expected to arrive here within the next hour or so. of course, this is one of more than 600 marchers taking place across the world. thank you very much. an 18—year—old man has appeared in court charged with murdering a teenage girl near rotherham. shay heeley was remanded in custody. the body of 16—year—old leonne weeks was discovered on a path in dinnington on monday. she'd been stabbed a number of times. five people are known to have died in the italian avalanche last week. it's thought around 15 people are still unaccounted for. nine people, including four children, have so far been pulled alive from the rubble of the rigopiano hotel in the abruzzo region. james reynolds reports. from the ruins of the rigopiano hotel, in the last moments of light, rescuers pulled a six—year—old girl to safety. she was cold but apparently uninjured. relief workers then carried

away a boy who'd been sheltering with her. for 48 hours, these children and two others had managed to survive underneath concrete walls. after these pictures were filmed, rescuers made their way to four more survivors — two men and two women. the rescued hotel guests have been flown to hospital in the coastal city of pescara. doctors say that they are cold and dehydrated but otherwise in good condition. the survivors‘ family members can now breathe again. translation: can't you see it from my face? doesn't my face show how happy i am? it's great. i can't describe it in words. i'd like to see him. for now, the boy is safe. but other waiting relatives have no such relief. this man's son has yet to be found. translation: you need to speak to these ministers here. you need to ask them why they didn't go get the people out the day

before the tragedy. they left them trapped in the hotel. italy's rescue services promise to continue their rescue efforts until they find everyone. how many more people might be trapped alive underneath all this? james reynolds, bbc news, rome. with the sport, here's mike bushell at the bbc sport centre. hello. johanna konta's australian open challenge is gathering serious momentum after she won her eighth match in a row, to reach the 4th round. if she can get through her next match, she would potentially face serena williams in the quarter—finals. konta's been in fantastic form this year, winning a title in sydney in the build up to the big grand slam in melbourne, and wozniacki simply had no answer to britain's number one. wozniacki, seeded i7, only managed to win four games, as konta cruised to an eighth straight victory. she'll now play ekaterina makarova

in the fourth round. things got simplified for me today, andi things got simplified for me today, and i enjoyed trying to execute the plan. i really enjoy being out there. it was a really nice atmosphere on court today. there was atmosphere on court today. there was a lot of people. a lot of support, soi a lot of people. a lot of support, so i enjoyed the whole thing. it's a busy day of football with seven matches in the premier league. spurs and liverpool can narrow the gap on leaders chelsea. liverpool have already kicked off. they're hosting swansea at anfield. liverpool have had the better of the play so far, adam lallana coming close. the swans are in a battle for premier league survival. and the score is currently 0—0. there are 14 matches in the fourth round of the scottish cup. rangers are playing motherwell. it's currently goalless at ibrox, lee wallace with the best of the chances so far.

last week, seven sports began an appeals process against uk sport's decision not to provide funding for the tokyo 2020 games. among them was weightlifting. sarah davies is one of the leading gb women and knows the effects a funding axe can have, with her 0lympian boyfriend suffering the same fate after london 2012. hannah lupton reports. beneath the hair is sarah davies, a weightlifter on the rise in a sport thatis weightlifter on the rise in a sport that is under threat. i was in the gym when i got the phone call from oui’ gym when i got the phone call from our performance director. i was struggling through the end of my session and i managed to get an extra ten repetitions out of what i was doing through upset, anger. it will have a massive effect. sarah is one half of great britain's power couple, alongside her partner, jack 0liver. couple, alongside her partner, jack oliver. commentator: jack oliver, brilliant stuff there. the men's tea m brilliant stuff there. the men's team lost their funding three years ago. they are always saying, do you get physio? no. even though you

might be the best in the country, competing on the world stage, you don't get a penny. sarah is now a full—time athlete, but if funding is cut, that will affect our chances of becoming the first british woman to win an olympic weightlifting medal. it will be tricky to see where the income comes from. i qualified as a pe teacher, but i am not teaching, because it affects my training. i am a little bit in limbo. being unpredictable doesn't faze sarah. when she is not in the gym, she com petes when she is not in the gym, she competes for a different type of crown — in beauty pageants. she won miss leeds in 2012. i always get, oh, you don't look like a weightlifter, so it is good to break those stereotypes and get a positive body image into pageants. they are hoping for a positive result in the appeal against the cuts for 2020. what they have achieved in the last

few years has been phenomenal. u nfortu nately, few years has been phenomenal. unfortunately, i'm not holding out much hope, so it is a case of looking for a job and potentially going back to working full—time as a teacher again. they have an anxious wait before uk sport announces its decision next month. let me update you on the football. with a0 minutes gone, at ibrox and anfield, it is still goalless. that's it. the next news on bbc one is at 5.10. bye for now. hello, you're watching the bbc news channel. let's get more now on president trump's first few hours in office. he's already started unpicking his predessor‘s policies starting with the affordable

healthca re plan known as 0bamacare. trump spelt out his vision for the future in his inaugural speech yesterday, pledging to put america first. earlier i spoke to the former uk ambassador to the us — sir christopher meyer. i asked him how easy it's going to be for the uk to forge a relationship with a president who promised to put america first. america first is not a policy, it's a slogan. if you take a blank sheet of paper and you write down america first on it, the only other two things you can add to it on the basis of what the president has said is one, china, because america thinks that china has been cheating in global trade. the other thing you write down is mexico because trump believes the north american free agreement signed under president bill clinton has meant a migration ofjobs out of the united states

into mexico. beyond that we do not know what trump means by america first. i personally don't believe for five seconds that it rules out the possibility of uk— us trade agreement. whether it's the front, middle or back of the queue, who gives a toss? it is piddling staff and it doesn't matter. the fact of the is trump has expressed a warmth of feeling towards the united kingdom, he wants to do a deal with us kingdom, he wants to do a deal with us and says he is a man who is good at doing deals, so at some point we will have one. fiddles about multilateral arrangements. the eu, the financial times has a piece about theresa may's visit and that she is concerned that this might undermine the eu, and nato where he has made it clear that other people

have to pull their weight? as far as the european union is concerned, donald trump is the first president in my experience, and may be the first us president ever, to express doubts about european integration. there has been a cannon on policy to encourage the integration of the european union. he is radically breaking with past tradition by saying what he has said about the eu. on saying what he has said about the eu. 0n the other hand he seems to favour brexit and he has suggested that other countries inside the eu might follow us out of the european union. so to the extent that he looks favourably on brexit, this is to our advantage, including looks favourably on brexit, this is to ouradvantage, including in looks favourably on brexit, this is to our advantage, including in the negotiations with the eu. nato, different kettle of fish. essential to our security, a cornerstone of our security and we would not want an american president to undermine it. now, he has said, i know, that

nato is obsolete, but in his inaugural speech he also said he was going to reinforce old alliances and make new ones. went to reason make crosses the atlantic she needs to say to donald trump, if we are going to handle putin properly, what we really need to do is reinforce nato, not undermine it, and of course that means the europeans need to pony up in their contributions to common defence. let's get more reaction on what the new donald trump presidency means in a global context. with me now is the new 0verseas development institute executive director alexi thier. good to see you. let's start by talking about part of the world that we have not spoken a lot about which is china and the far east and so on. china seems to be pretty high, as we we re china seems to be pretty high, as we were hearing there, on the new administration's dislike list. we

don't get on with them because we don't get on with them because we don't like the terms of trade. how don't like the terms of trade. how do you see that developing? it's been interesting over the last couple of years with china emerging on the global stage after an incredible period of growth. president 0bama try to engage china ona president 0bama try to engage china on a one—to—one basis on issues such as climate change. president trump will be presented with something com pletely will be presented with something completely different to the way that we used to work with china. china wa nt to we used to work with china. china want to assert themselves on the global stage. because of his attitude and what he said during the campaign, that will set us up for early confrontation, both on trade and military issues in the south china sea. china is more important to the prosperity of the global and the us economy than it ever was before and so to meet some of his domestic agenda it is going to be challenging to do some of the things he wants to do internationally. what about the middle east? most

presidents, they come to the end of the term, they try to do something between israel and the palestinians. mrtrump between israel and the palestinians. mr trump says he wants to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem which will be a huge step. also a rarn, president 0bama try to get on better with them. not president trump, one might think. one of the concerns about the middle east under trump is that his america first approach indicates a lack of interest in pursuing a multilateral agenda for solving the myriad of problems the. america is not going to ask for permission in the middle east and what we have heard is that his singular deep focus will be on eradicating terrorism and extremism which is a hard military security orientated approach. the reality is that the middle east, no matter where, confronts challenges about broader issues of development and

governance and the military approach alone will not address those. he is quickly going to find as past presidents have that if you try to go it alone you are likely to stir up go it alone you are likely to stir up more problems than you solve. go it alone you are likely to stir up more problems than you solvem terms of global influence, this is perhaps nowhere on mr trump was much agenda, but the usa, money that goes to projects that are deemed to be good around the world. as you know in this country we have had a huge debate that says that the budget is a waste than we could spend it domestically. that is a debate likely to happen in the us? when you look at health budgets for things like zika, etc, things that affect us, our own safety, the development budget speaks to these things works on these issues and i think that

they will also quickly learn that they will also quickly learn that the national interests, if you're worried about security and health at home, then you had to be worried about these issues overseas as well. the development budget can be very targeted towards national security interests. it can play a critical role not only in dealing with problems abroad, but making people feel more safe at home and i think that the trump administration is governed to learn quickly that there is potential in the aid budget to work on those things that will ultimately matter to them at home. 0ne ultimately matter to them at home. one of the things we can say for sure about donald trump is that he has been a great campaigner, that is why he is president. he said very strongly yesterday that he's going to work for you, is about ordinary people of america. in that context may be foreign affairs, although it is hugely important to us here, is not particularly important in terms

of his agenda. he wants jobs foreign affairs, in so far he has trade, jobs and the economy. affairs, in so far he has trade, jobs and the economylj affairs, in so far he has trade, jobs and the economy. i think that is true, but the profound thing about trump assuming the presidency is that it indicates a shift, a massive shift in the united states's role in the world as it has been described for decades. the idea that the united states could step away from its commitment to leading globally on things like climate change and security issues abroad, i think it will be very hard to do. i think it will be very hard to do. i think that there is a great demand that comes from being in power in the united states from other countries around the world and again, ithink countries around the world and again, i think that it's a fantasy to think that we can separate ourselves from the problems of the world. some of the most costly things that happen in the united states, whether its loss ofjobs, dealing with superstorms, all of these things ultimately found abroad and if you're not willing to engage

abroad constructively, it could lead to problems. thank you. a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of leone weeks. the 16—year—old was found on a path in a village in rotherham. correspondent reports from the court. shay heeley appeared for a matter of minutes in the portland building behind me. he stood in the dock wearing a grey t—shirt and grey jogging wearing a grey t—shirt and grey jogging bottoms. he spoke only to confirm his name and age. he is charged with the murder of 16—year—old leone weeks, who is also from donington. her body was found in an alleway in the village there on monday. police say she died after being stabbed several times. the courtroom, courtroom to it at the magistrates in sheffield was very busy. there was no extra space in

the public gallery with both families attending this very short hearing. shay heeley was told that the matter will be moved to crown court and he will appear on the 17th of february. the french national front leader, marine le pen, has predicted that brexit will have a domino effect across europe. she's been speaking at a gathering of far—right leaders from germany, france, italy and the netherlands in the german city of koblenz. they're discussing their shared opposition to the european union. 0ur berlin correspondentjenny hill is in koblenz with the details. ukip‘s new leader, paul nuttall, is to be his party's candidate in next month's byelection in stoke central. the contest was triggered by the resignation of labour's tristram hunt. at the last general election ukip came second in the constituency, which voted strongly in favour of brexit in the referendum. 0ur political correspondent matt cole explained why ukip are targeting this seat. he is very clever by becoming the candidate for stoke central that not

all has a chance. it is the attempt to get a westminster seat. he is not at nigel farage's record. he took on seven and lost seven. paul nuttall wa nts to seven and lost seven. paul nuttall wants to go one better. the seat was taken by labour, but only by 5000 voters ahead of ukip, and narrowly ahead of the tories. not all be thinking it's a chance again to get into parliament. and that area voted strongly for brexit, which creates a dilemma for the labour party. strongly for brexit, which creates a dilemma for the labour partym strongly for brexit, which creates a dilemma for the labour party. it is going to be very difficult indeed. this is one of the most brexit boating areas of the country. it's known as brexit central. paul nuttall called it back in his speech and hourorso ago, nuttall called it back in his speech and hour or so ago, accepting the nomination to become a candidate. it will be a difficult balance for labour. they will have the

additional difficulty, they are picking the candidates on wednesday, pc could disappear after the boundary changes. they need a candidate to find the right message on brexit to appease those who wa nted on brexit to appease those who wanted to leave the european union, but also a candidate who doesn't mind holding the seat for a few yea rs before mind holding the seat for a few years before it no longer exists. and february the 23rd is the voting day in stoke and in copland. yes, jamie reed went to a private job at the sellafield nuclear plant, again leaving a gap in a by—election. that is potentially even more difficult for labour to hold. 0nly is potentially even more difficult for labour to hold. only a majority of 2500 over the tories. it will be furious fight with the tories hoping they pinch that of labour. both are a challenge forjeremy corbyn's leadership. it will not look good for him to be losing either of the

seats, let alone both. to have both the fight simultaneously is a division of resources and therefore one will watch with interest. the former president of the gambia has finally agreed to step down and leave the country. yahya jammeh had been clinging on to power despite losing last month's election. troops from several west african countries had threatened to depose him by force if necessary. two metal detector enthusiasts have discovered one of the largest hoards of celtic treasure in the world. some 70,000 coins, worth millions of pounds, have now been removed from the site injersey. robert hall reports. a good story needs the right ingredients. this one has a legend of buried treasure and two lifelong friends who never gave up the search. i can still remember the first time we went to the fields and i was probably early 20s, i suppose, late teens, early 20s at the time, and we arrived at the field expecting to find

the coins instantly. but of course it didn't happen like that. it is a strange feeling because there was something that drew us to it. every time we drove by on a sunday to go out to a field we would stop and say, the field is empty, and we would go and give it another try. the treasure they were searching for had come tojersey with kilted tribesmen well over 2000 years ago. their coins kept turning up, convincing reg meade and richard miles there was an even a larger hall to be found here. in 2012, somebody was at the top of the field and they shouted, got one, or words to that effect, and that is when the story took off. reg got down with the shovel and just scooped out some more earth. 0n the end of it was five coins. so i shouted out, reg, haul. reg, richard and a team of excited archaeologists had no idea what the 30 year search had actually uncovered.

everybody thought it was going to be a pot of coins, so we had some bandage to put around it and we thought we would be out at the end of the first day, and then it became incredibly exciting because we knew how big it was, but it also became a worry because no one had actually got something like this out of the ground safely in one piece before. in this story there were secrets within secrets. the 70,000 coins enfolded even more precious treasures. what we have even more of these gold neck talks which would have been warned by a very important people in these celtic tribes, thin sheet gold over an iron core and then probably wood around that, and they made it into halves so they would originally sort of click apart and go back together. week after week, month after month, more treasures have emerged. after three years' work, the final coin has now been removed. dismantling the horde has left many mysteries unsolved.

how did it come to be here? was it buried as a tribute to the gods, or hidden enemies? and does a large number of objects indicate a hidden presence? there is so much study to do with the horde itself and what we can learn about events and times 2000 years ago, but in a much broader context, what else is beneath the ground? it is as if the horde found us, we didn't find the horde. maybe there is a reason for it in the future. robert hall, bbc news, jersey. well if you are out metal detecting, it isa well if you are out metal detecting, it is a bit frosty. here are the weather details. it is cold, but there is plenty of sunshine, although it is not bright
