welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in america and across the globe. my name's gavin grey. our top stories: president trump praises the intelligence community, denying a feud with them, accusing the media of making it up. as you know, i have a running war with the media they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. huge crowds take to the streets of the united states and cities across the world to protest against the new trump administration. in other news: the man who led the gambia for two decades has left the country, ending weeks of political crisis. and brazilian riot police have used shipping containers to separate rival gangs inside a prison after fighting left 26 inmates dead. donald trump has marked his first full day in office

by announcing that he has a "running war with the media." the remarks were made during a speech at the cia headquarters in virginia, where the new president described some members of the press as "the most dishonest people on earth." he also accused the media of making it sound like he had a feud with the intelligence community and of publishing misleading information about the number of people who attended his inauguration ceremony on friday. here's a little of what he had to say. the reason you are my first stop is that as you know i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. applause. right? and they sort of made it sounds like i had a feud

with the intelligence community. this is why you're my number one stop. it is exactly the opposite, and they understand that, too. i was explaining about the numbers. we did a thing yesterday, the speech... did everybody like the speech, right? applause. we had a massive field of people. you saw that. packed. i get up this morning, i turn on one of the networks, and they show an empty field. i said, wait a minute, i made a speech, i looked out, the field was... it looked like a million, a million and a half people. they showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. just a little over two hours after mr trump made that speech at the cia headquarters, the new white house press secretary, sean spicer, gave his first press briefing. he was also highly critical of some media organisations, over the way he felt they had mis—represented the number of people

who had attended friday's inauguration ceremony. the president was also at the central intelligence agency today greeted by a raucous overflow crowd of some 400 plus cia employees, there were over 1000 requests to attend, prompting the president to know that he will have to come back to greet the rest. the employees were ecstatic that he's the new commander—in—chief. he delivered a powerful and important message to them. he told them he has their back. and they were grateful for that. they gave him a five—minute standing ovation in enthusiasm for his presidency. i will also note it is a shame the cia did not have a cia director to be with him today when he visited because the senate democrats are stalling the nomination of mike pompeo and playing politics with national security. that is what you should be

writing and covering, instead of sowing division about tweets and false narratives. the president is committed to unifying our country and that was the focus of his inaugural address. this kind of dishonesty in the media is making it more difficult. there has been a lot of talk in the media about responsibility to hold donald trump accountable. i am here to tell you that goes both ways. we will hold the press accountable as well. the american people deserve better. as long as he serves as the messenger of this incredible movement, he will take his message directly to the american people where his focus will always be. that was the new white house press secretary, sean spicer. perhaps unusually, mr spicer ended his news conference without taking any questions from any of the journalists present. as you can see, he simply said goodbye and walked off the stage. the march in washington was just one of dozens held in america and around the world, in a huge global show

of defiance against donald trump's presidency. as we've said, there have been no official figures on how many attended in the capital, but it's being reported that as many as three quarters of a million people are currently taking part in a similar march in los angeles. there were also marches in cities around the world. katty kay reports from washington. they came in their thousands. children, men, and women. lots of women. i came from hawaii to be here today. i'm here to represent all the people that can't be here. it gives me hope for our future. it was a really dark day when the electoral results came in. it's not that we hate donald trump. but we just hate what he stands for. bigotry and racism. i won't stand for that. john kerry came as well. no longer america's secretary of state, nowjust a citizen taking a political stand. this march was conceived as a celebration of women.

and of one woman in particular, hillary clinton. but after the surprising american election it quickly became a protest, and a protest against one man in particular, donald trump. there were huge crowds in other american cities as well. in liberal bastions like los angeles where they didn't vote for donald trump. and in chicago, where the turnout was so big they had to change the route. in solidarity, they protested around the world. in london, a march that began on the doorstep of the american embassy wasjoined by 100,000 people, from the famous to the frail. they also marched in paris today. and in sydney. and in nairobi. in washington, the protests surpassed president trump's inauguration crowd, a slap in the face to a man who cares about size. and it was about more than women's issues. it was a repudiation of the donald trump worldview. today marks the beginning. the beginning of our story. the revolution starts here. president trump takes office

as the most unpopular new president ever. today's march, he faces up to that fact. katty kay, bbc news, washington. we spoke with david willis about his first day. donald trump has gone on the attack on day one, the first full day of his presidency, blaming basically the dishonest media for any misunderstanding that might have occurred, and that sentiment was echoed by a very unusual press conference, it wasn't really a press conference, it wasn't really a press conference, it was a long statement from the white house spokesman, sean spicer, this evening, in which he

rallied against the media, as donald trump had earlier, saying that this new administration would hold the media accountable, as he put it, for things like false reporting and selling dissent and also things like that. mr sean spicer in a very competent mood, reading from a statement which, as i say, very much echoed donald trump's remarks from the cia earlier, but not taking any questions and basicallyjust turning on his foot and marching out at the end. and david, any indication that this is the weight it will be under the trump administration, or is it a one—off? the trump administration, or is it a one-off? this is the new normal, i think we can say that. that remark about holding the press accountable, calling people out, he called up one particular reporter today about suggestions that martin luther

king's statue had been removed from the white house — that apparently not the case, but they are going to ta ke not the case, but they are going to take people on individually if necessary through the briefings and mr spicer look like a man who had been told what to say by his boss, knowing fully well that the boss was watching every second of his remarks. this was, as i say, the sort of use it appears that donald trump will make of his chief press spokesman. and that boss, david, briefly, if you would, donald trump, the president, would appear to be genuinely upset by the scale of the protest against him, and by the media reporting there were fewer people at his inauguration? absolutely. size matters to donald trump as they say and clearly he is thin—skinned on this particular issue. we saw that during the campaign and we are seeing it now that he is the president of the united states. he doesn't like it

when people say there were fewer people present at his inauguration than they were for those of president 0bama in 2009 and 2013, at any suggestion that there were more people in washington, dc today than they were yesterday really doesn't go down well at all. david willis. in another development from washington, the white house has confirmed that britain's prime minister theresa may will be the first foreign leader to to meet mr trump. she's expected to travel to washington for a summit at the white house on friday. mr trump will also meet the mexican president enrique pena nieto a few days later, on the 31st of january. more now on the situation in the gambia. the former president, yahya jammeh, has left the country after agreeing to hand over power to adama barrow, who defeated him in a presidential election last month. sarah corker reports. with one final wave to a small crowd, yahya jammeh headed into political exile, ending a 22—year authoritarian rule. one of the world's most eccentric and restless despots, he was flanked by soldiers as he boarded a plane destined for guinea.

his supporters were visibly upset but some were relieved as well. the political crisis is now over. we did it without bloodshed. i think we should be proud of that. his departure came 24 hours after he told state television he would finally relinquish power. he refused to accept the election defeat in december. troops were ready on the border to remove him with force. the situation became so tense that the gambia's new president, adama barrow, took his oath of office in senegal.

his focus now turns to the future. it is very, very important that people do not suffer. inflation is at the highest level. of the gambians who fled the country during the crisis, they are now slowly returning home. the delegation of west african leaders negotiated the exit plan. the details, however, will not be made public. translation: thank god up to now it has been a clean operation that allows us to restore hope, democracy and shows that nobody has the right to oppose an election result. as yahya jammeh disappeared into the darkness, human rights activists demanded that he be held accountable for alleged abuses including torturing opponents. and gambians described his departure as a victory for their country. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: brazilian football club chapecoense plays again — the first match since last

year's deadly plane crash. for all of you who have done amazing, remarkable work, i can't wait to see what you do next, and i promise you i'll be right there with you. god bless you. this is bbc news. i'm gavin grey. the latest headlines: president trump praises the intelligence community — denying a feud with them — and accusing the media of making it up. more than a million people have taken part in a series of huge protests against the presidency of donald trump across america and around the world. as we've been hearing many celebritiesjoined in the marches in a number of us cities. one of the speakers at the washington march was the hollywood actress scarlettjohansson, who expressed her fears over the future of healthcare and women's services and clinics. i feel that, in the face of this

current political climate, it is vital that we all make it our mission to get really, really personal. so yes, at 15, i had been to a gynaecologist. i was living in new york city, and had visited planned parenthood there. for the more than 2.5 million patients per year that rely on planned parenthood services, for cancer and std screenings, birth control, safe abortion and pregnancy planning, these are uncertain and anxious times. lawmakers in 24 states have tried to block patients from receiving care at at planned parenthood. congress has voted to limit access to reproductive services nine times. boo. yes, boo! there are very real and devastating consequences to limiting access to what should be considered basic healthcare. lizzie barber is a british expat who

took part in the march in washington. she told us what she was hoping to achieve. really, gavin grey, i wanted to be part of that feeling that your correspondent was talking about. that we are not happy with some of the policies that have been put forward. it is not that we necessarily hates donald trump, but we hate the policies and some of the things that his leadership team is standing for. but in a sense is this a bit of sour grapes? he is the president. he got voted in. we have to have to wait to see what he really does stand for. that is true. he certainly is the president. i am not an american citizen and did not have a vote in that election and the electoral college in the us has elected donald trump.

that is true. the really strong message that came out today was encouraging women here in the us and around the world to get involved in politics, whether it is local or national, and to use their voice in things they fell strongly about, and today, some of those things were about female rights of reproduction, looking after their own bodies, some of it was around climate, equality, and equity. some of the female donald trump supporters would say this is all a bit of a waste of time. i did not hear that message at all today. it was a very supportive and positive march. there was no trouble. some of the reporting i heard from the uk this evening was misrepresentative of what we experienced today. if you were to have a conversation with donald trump, which elements of what he has already said or which elements of what he stands for do you think if and all would you most like him to rethink about? as a scientist and engineer,

i want him to reconsider on using facts over hearsay, and listening to the experts specifically about climate change. but pretty much most of his policies. brazilian security forces are hoping to end a week—long prison riot — by using shipping containers to separate rival gangs. at least 26 people have died in the clashes in the northeastern city of natal. andy beatt reports. a new weapon in the battle for control of the prison. building a wall of shipping containers in a bid to divide warring gangs. a weaker bloodshed has claimed dozens of lives here in natal, part of a spate

of violence injails lives here in natal, part of a spate of violence in jails across brazil. many have been injured since the beginning of the year. translation: my beginning of the year. translation: my husband is no longer here. he was a victim of the rebellion. 0ne my husband is no longer here. he was a victim of the rebellion. one of the first to be killed in this massacre. unfortunately i buried him without his head. behind the killing spree, prisoners armed with clubs and knives. riot police have held back forfear some may and knives. riot police have held back for fear some may have firearms. as gang members were moved to other prisons, violence spilt onto the streets. at the heart of the crisis, years of underfunding and neglect compounded by chronic overcrowding. this prison is home to overcrowding. this prison is home to over 1000 inmates but built far only 600. in recent years the prison elation has soared. brazil's is now the fourth largest in the world. pressure is mounting on the president who has promised to build

30 new jails president who has promised to build 30 newjails including five for the most violent convicts. he has ordered soldiers onto the street. the prison system has become a barrel of gunpowder. they fear it will explode out of the northern states and across the country. rescue teams in italy have been continuing their search for survivors, three days after an avalanche buried a hotel in central italy. 23 people are still thought to be missing. nine others, including four children, have so far been pulled alive from the rubble of the hotel in the abruzzo region. james reynolds reports. for a third day in the mountains, rescuers pick through the remains of the rigopiano hotel. they have to move carefully for fear of collapsing rubble onto anyone still trapped below. around 30 people had been waiting in the lobby when the avalanche hit. hotel worker fabio salzetta escaped the snowfall by hiding in a boiler room. translation: i don't think anyone expected an avalanche.

there was lots of snow beforehand. we risked getting cut—off. i kept trying to call to get us evacuated, but no—one answered. late at night, rescuers made it to four survivors, two men and two women. none were seriously injured. earlier, relief workers pulled six—year—old ludovica pa rete to safety. she was the final member of herfamily to be rescued. workers then carried away a boy who had been with her. concrete walls had protected them from the avalanche. the rescued adults and children have been flown to hospital in the coastal city of pescara, where they're recovering quickly. 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. fresh rescue teams have relieved their exhausted colleagues. they have plenty of work ahead of them. translation: we're going to take over. the rescue operation will continue through the night. we're convinced that we'll find other people still alive. to find them, they'll have to dig through tonnes of snow, rock and concrete. how many more survivors might there be, underneath all this? james reynolds, bbc news, rome. reports from hungary say a teacher saved the lives of many pupils after their coach crashed and caught fire near verona in northern italy killing 16 people. the pe teacher is said to have smashed windows to help those trapped inside to escape. nick thorpe has the details. most of the passengers on the bus

we re most of the passengers on the bus were teenagers from a secondary school in the pest. they were returning home from a skiing holiday in the french alps when their coach crashed on a motorway near varuna. details have emerged throughout the day of the actions of a gym teacher who returned several times to the burning wreckage to rescue students through the back window. he is among the seriously injured and. a lorry driver tried to warn the driver that something was wrong with the wheels of the coach. some parents repeatedly to visit survivors in the hospital. pupils and parents lit candles and laid flowers outside the school. the hungarian and italian prime ministers have expressed their grief over the accident. the brazilian football club chapecoense have played their first match since all but three of their senior players were killed in a plane crash last november. in an emotional return home, the side met the current brazilian champions for a friendly match. most of their players have been loaned by other brazilian clubs, as julia carniero reports.

it is kick—off time for the new chapecoense. the fans have crowded the conda arena to watch their comeback. with fresh new signings, the team is taking a big step back into the game. the flight carrying the chapecoense squad crashed in the mountains, close to the city of medellin, in november. investigators in colombia found it had run out of fuel. the defender neto was the last person to be pulled from the wreckage. last week, he managed to walk again. translation: they told me the truth three days before i came back to chapeco. it was the saddest day of my life. i asked about my team—mates, and the doctors said they weren't here anymore. ijust couldn't believe it. ahead of today's match, the families of the crash victims were given medals in the players‘ honour. the survivors received the copa sudamericana trophy, a tribute to the final they didn't get to play. there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

i feel very great because, i guess, this is the dream of my father, my father's dream, and i think we need to keep coming here and being... i don't know what to say, i'm very emotional right now. it is 71 minutes into the game, and the match has stopped to remember the 71 victims of the crash. instead of a minute of silence, a moment of sheer energy. the match is a draw, but the chapecoense scored twice, filling fans with hope as the new team strives for a successful future. julia carniero, bbc news, chapeco, brazil. pumfrey quick reminder now about top story. the white house has accused some parts of the media of engaging in what it called false reporting of mr trump's inauguration as president. well, the temperatures

through the night have been drop, drop, dropping. it has been down to minus seven degrees at least in one or two areas, and scenes like this for some of us on sunday morning. fog around, but the real fog problems will not arrive until monday and tuesday. there could be major fog around, so we will speak about that in a second. in the short term, it is frosty across much of england. now, remember these are the city centre temperatures. in rural areas it will be some five degrees lower than that. but western areas, there, just that little bit milder. and whilst we are shivering in the morning, in melbourne for the tennis it will be hot and sunny. temperatures there, not a cloud in the sky, getting up to around 29 degrees. anyway, back to our cold weather. it will not be so frosty in the westernmost extremities of the uk. so newquay, maybe five degrees, but the central and southern england all the way up to yorkshire,

parts of the north—west as well, around freezing or below, and there will be some frost in parts of scotland. possibly icy patches, mist and fog as well, but nothing too major. and the western isles also frost—free, four degrees expected. now, the temperature will rise to around four, five, six, seven degrees during the day. that will be the peak. after that frosty start in the south, most of the time it will not be that high. temperatures will only be around two or three. so that is very much the peak in the temperature. it will feel a lot colder than that. mild across the west with a bit more cloud and spots of light rain and drizzle coming and going. now, this is the big problem, then. sunday night into monday, watch how that fog forms. it will be extensive across many areas of england, into wales as well, with that freezing fog in places too, so quite dangerous on the roads.

factor that into your travel plans on monday and tuesday. that fog in some rural areas could persist all through the day, maybe notjust rural areas, towns and cities as well. that's all through monday and into tuesday. and tuesday morning in some areas the fog may be even thicker, so some nasty conditions on the roads for the working week. there will be a change on the way as we go through the week, into the latter part of the week. the winds will freshen, that will disperse most of the fog. we could also see some rain in the west towards the end of the week as well. bye bye. the latest headlines from bbc news. i'm gavin grey. donald trump has been visiting the headquarters of the cia on his first full day as us president. the president has distanced himself from his repeated criticisms of us intelligence services, claiming the feud was a media fabrication. more than a million people joined protests against president trump in cities across the united states. 0riginally planned as a march
