theresa may says she has absolute faith in britain's nuclear deterrent, despite claims of a test firing going wrong. a trident missile like this one apparently veered off course last june, just weeks before a crucial vote on the defence system, by mps. the prime minster will hold talks with donald trump at the white house this week, the first world leader to meet the new president. andy murray crashes out of the australian open, to the world number 50. and... and, choose twitter, and hope that someone somewhere ca res. it helped define the 1990s, now trainspotting, returns for a new generation. good evening.

theresa may says she has ‘absolute faith‘ in the uk's trident nuclear deterrent system, despite claims an unarmed missile veered off course during a test last summer. on the andrew marr programme today, the prime minister declined to say whether she knew of the incident, before a crucial vote on the future of trident, in parliament lastjuly. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. this is what the launch of a trident missile looks like. lastjune, the royal navy carried out what it calls a routine on armed test launch from hms vengeance. but it now appears something went wrong. hms cowan vengeance was something went wrong. hms cowan vengeance was about 200 miles off the florida coast. it was going to fire the missile around 500 miles across the atlantic but a malfunction occurred during its flight. malfunction occurred during its flight. yet just weeks malfunction occurred during its flight. yetjust weeks later, theresa may was asking mps to vote

on spending £40 billion to renew the weapons system. mr speaker, we have waited long enough, it is time to get on with building the next generation of our nuclear deterrent. today she was asked four times if she knew then if they had been a problem. the issue we were talking about in the house of commons was a very serious issue, whether or not we should renew trident, whether we should look to the future and have a replacement trident. that is what we are talking about in the house of commons, that's what the house of commons, that's what the house of commons voted for. i believe in defending our country, jeremy corbyn voted against it. prime minister, did you know? there are tests that ta ke did you know? there are tests that take place all the time regularly for our nuclear deterrence. what we we re for our nuclear deterrence. what we were talking about in that debate that took place... not going to get an answer to this. we understand the prime minister chose not to inform parliament about this, and it has

come out through the media some months later. it is a pretty catastrophic error when a missile goes on the wrong direction. while the ministry of defence has publicised past successful test launches of the trident missile, in this instance is they say they will give no further details of the incident in june because give no further details of the incident injune because of national security reasons. in a statement, they would only say that hms vengeance and her crew were successfully tested and verified, but significantly officials do not deny that there was a problem with the missile or that it might have veered off course. the former head of the navy says ministers should have come clean. the missiles have been fired now since 1990 regularly, and they work overtime. this clearly was a problem, that's why you have tests, to jacket. if there were some minor problem i don't think it would have made any difference at all, but by not publicising it, it immediately makes you think are they hiding something, is there something

wrong? it was a stupid thing to do. the government still says it has absolute confidence in britain's nuclear weapons system. but this incident does raise questions about its reliability. the prime minister has also confirmed today that she'll visit washington for talks with president trump on friday, the first world leader to meet him since his inauguration. mrs may said she would build on the special relationship between britain and america, but would challenge any opinions she finds unacceptable. here's our political correspondent iain watson. 0n the surface, the special relationship appears almost intimate. britain's prime minister will be the first foreign leader to meet the new president. at that relationship with donald trump may have to become extra special after brexit, as britain searches for new global trade deals. the special relationship between the uk and the us has been strong for many years. we will have opportunity to talk about our future trading

relationship but also some of the world challenges that we all face. he and people around him are also spoken about the importance of a trade arrangement with the united kingdom, and that that is something they are looking to talk to us about atan they are looking to talk to us about at an early stage. it all sounds positive, but the two leaders will have to square this circle.|j positive, but the two leaders will have to square this circle. i want this to be a truly global britain. america first! america first! the president's critics say that his emphasis on protecting american drops might make things difficult with the uk —— jobs. recent figures show that we sell more to america than we buy. we saw them £88 billion worth of goods and services and brought injust worth of goods and services and brought in just £52 billion worth of imports. the reverse is true with the eu, we buy more goods from them the eu, we buy more goods from them the missile of ours. but you can see our business with eu partners is worth far more than our trade with the united states. no trade agreement with america, however ambitious, can replace or match what

we are potentially going to lose on our own doorstep in europe. we are potentially going to lose on our own doorstep in europem we are potentially going to lose on our own doorstep in europe. it is well known here in downing street that the team around theresa may we re that the team around theresa may were not necessarily donald trump's biggest fans when he was a candidate, but as soon as he was elected, the officials were dispatched to the states to try to mend bridges quicker than construction workers on overtime. but now the prime minister insisted that she still isn't afraid to raise really difficult issues with the new leader of the free world. yesterday, millions of women across the world and thousands here in london marched against a president they see as disrespect for. theresa may was a little coy of what she would say face—to—face with donald trump, but she argued her own presence in washington made something of a statement in itself. i think the bigger statement that will be made about the role of women is the fact that i will be there as a female prime minister, prime minister of the united kingdom, talking to him directly about the interest that we share. in the 80s, mrs thatcher and

ronald reagan had a close and candid relationship, while donald trump reportedly calls theresa may his maggie, it is likely to take a lot of diplomacy and good grace to form a similar partnership. let's speak to our deputy political editor, john pienaar, who's at westminster. john, theresa may, she will have preferred the headlines to be about her meeting donald trump later this week, rather than this controversy over trident. yes, she would. this story on trident isn'tjust awkward, it's embarrassing. ministers can argue there is no realistic chance of the navy launching a nuclear strike against moscow, or for that matter disneyland, by accident. they can point out that mps, most of them, support the nuclear deterrent, thatis them, support the nuclear deterrent, that is true, but the way that mps we re that is true, but the way that mps were kept in the dark head of such a crucial vote on trident, it would be ha rd crucial vote on trident, it would be hard for the opposition tomorrow to make the government look and feel uncomfortable, and even looked rather evasive when they would rather evasive when they would rather be talking about the coming american trip. as far as that trip

is concerned, we don't know how the trump presidency will play out but we do know something of his character and style, and given that it is hard to see theresa may exercising the same sort of influence over donald trump that margaret thatcher did over ronald reagan back in the 1980s. some will worry in the party that the party could be a barrister, the government could be a barrister, the government could be a barrister, the government could be a barrister by this relationship. but then predictability, that was a fixture of politics, and now that seems a long time ago. thank you for that, john. the white house has vowed to fight the news media "tooth and nail," over what officials see as unfair attacks on president trump. the new president has taken issue with estimates of the size of the crowd at his inauguration on friday. he claims at least a million people attended; aerial photographs appear to tell a different story. as our north america editorjon sopel reports, the weightiest issues on the planet we re the weightiest issues on the planet were discussed at donald trump's inaugural address, but

were discussed at donald trump's inauguraladdress, but what were discussed at donald trump's inaugural address, but what the president is in a white rage about suggestions that the crowds for him we re suggestions that the crowds for him were not as big as they were for barack 0bama eight years ago, even though the evidence is incontrovertible, as these two photos, each taken 45 minutes before the all migration started, make plain. —— the inauguration started. last night, journalists were summoned to the most extraordinary white house briefing to be told they we re white house briefing to be told they were lying. this was the largest audience to ever witness and inauguration, period. this kind of dishonesty in the media, there has been a lot of talk in the media about the response bulleted the whole donald trump accountable, and i'm here to tell you that it goes to waste. we are going to the press accountable as well. no questions we re accountable as well. no questions were allowed. earlier in the day from donald trump, on a visit to cia headquarters, a similar attack, though this time the target different. as you know, i have a

running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. they sort of made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. but, hang on a minute, how do you reconcile the suggestion that it is all got up by the journalists when he treated this 11 days ago? he accused the intelligence services of leaking material against him, and suggested their behaviour made it seem as though we were living in nazi germany. and today, key lieutenants we re germany. and today, key lieutenants were intensifying their attacks. there is an obsession by the media to delegitimise this president, and we are not going to sit around and let it happen. our press secretary gave alternative acts to that. alternative facts are not facts, they are. is. part of this can be put down the donald trump's and session with the size of his crowd, but there is deliberate strategy here too. it seems the white house

wa nts to here too. it seems the white house wants to undermine the conventional media so that donald trump is able to present his own version of reality through twitter and facebook without any mediation, and said to the public, who do you believe, me or the establishment media? and while this battle plays itself out, the satirists are making hay. this is their take on what vladimir putin makes of it all. i am glad to see so many people showed up to your inauguration. 0h, many people showed up to your inauguration. oh, wait, that's the women's march. here is the inauguration. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. the authorities in israel have approved the construction of more than 500 homes for settlers in occupied eastjerusalem. the decision was delayed until donald trump took power in washington, with the new president promising to be israel's "best friend." he's due to speak to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu by phone later today. at least 39 people have been killed, and many more injured,

after a train derailed in the indian state of andhra pradesh. police are investigating claims the track may have been tampered with. it's thought a number of people remain trapped in the wreckage. here, many councils in england are taking too long to determine patients's need, a consumer group which monitors health services says several local authorities take far longer than the recommended six weeks. smitha mundasad is at st thomas' hosiptal for us this evening. smitha what more can you tell us? in recent weeks we have heard of accident & emergency departments buckling under when the pressure, with hospitals unable to admit patients because sometimes on their wards are people who could have gone home, if only they had got the social care they needed. now, health watch england says there is another side to this problem. it says that local councils are taking too long to assess whether people are

eligible for extra support at home. its own investigation found the data is patchy, but people on average weighted between two and 52 days, and in one case, someone waited two yea rs. and in one case, someone waited two years. they say that isn't good enough. now, the local government ombudsman says that actually between four and six weeks is reasonable, but that's not mandatory, and the local government association says it needs more money. the department of health says it has put in 900 million extra pounds over the next two years for adult social care, and will challenge local authorities if they don't do theirjob in a timely fashion. thank you for that. with all the sport, here's hugh woozencroft at the bbc sport centre. andy murray is out of the australian open. the number one seed was beaten by the world number 50 — germany's mischa zverev in the fourth round in melbourne, as katie gornall reports. andy murray's leaves melbourne,

having missed an opportunity. with novak djokovic outcome of the draw had opened up for him. his path had been blocked by an unexpected obstacle. he played extremely well, especially at the end of the match. he came up with some great stuff. he deserved to win. tough one to lose. mischa zverev is not even the best player in his family. his younger brother, alex, is said to be the one to watch and saw this coming. after losing the first set against a player ranked almost 50 places below him, murray tried to repair the damage will stop he levelled the match but the german was proving an awkward opponent. his game plan was to serve and volley, an old—fashioned approach. here, it was brilliantly effective. eventually murray ran out of ideas and games. five times he has been a runner—up in melbourne but this year's open has been anything but predictable. 0ne has been anything but predictable. one british player who has defied expectations is dan evans. playing in the fourth round of grand slam for the first time, he made a promising start againstjo—wilfried tsonga, but the 12th seed's heavy

hitting took a toll, and evans was eventually overpowered in four sets. he may have lost here, but evans has won something important in australia: respect. in the premier league, ten—man arsenal needed an injury time penalty to beat burnley 2—i at the emirates stadium. the visitors drew level with 93 minutes on the clock, through andre gray's penalty. a frustrated arsene wenger was sent to the stands for his reaction. but in the seventh minute of injury time, his team were awarded their own spot—kick. and alexis sanchez stayed calm to secure all three points for arsenal. in the early kick—off, southampton beat champions, leicester, 3—0, and the match between chelsea and hull is just coming to an end. the latest score is 2—0 to chelsea. no premiership football this weekend in scotland because of the scottish cup. scott sinclair helped celtic reach the fifth round with a 3—0 win over albion rovers. earlier, hearts were held to a draw by championship side raith rovers. britain's dave ryding has

finished in second place in the world cup slalom race in kitzbuhl in austria. he was quickest after the first run but eventually beaten into second place by home favourite marcel heerscher. no brit has won an alpine world cup ski race in the 50 years of the competition. the last on the podium was konrad bartelski, back in 1981. that is all the sport for now. back to you. now to a film that defined a generation. ‘trainspotting,’ made stars of the original cast including ewan mcgregor, and now, more than 20 years on, they're back, and colin paterson is at the world premiere, in edinburgh. it isa it is a sequel that has been talked about for more than 15 years, but t2: trainspotting is finally here. there is the director, danny boyle. there is the director, danny boyle. the cast have been working on the orange carpets here, robert carlyle,

jonny lee miller, ewen bremner and ewa n jonny lee miller, ewen bremner and ewan mcgregor, who told me earlier today that until the first day of filming last summer, before of them had not been in the same room for more than 20 years. —— the four of them had not been in the same room. choose life, choose a job, choose a career. . . choose life, choose a job, choose a career... trainspotting was the defining film of mid—90s cool britannia than stop the movie poster was on students's walls, the soundtrack in their cd players. it dealt with addiction, headedness and friendship, and more than 20 years later, the gang is back together. so what you are looking at is that. we met the director danny boyle where it all began. we implied they rushed straight from princes street where they wheel being chased by store detectives, onto this road and then re nt detectives, onto this road and then rent and gets hit by a car. so what have you been up to the 20 years? since trainspotting, danny boyle has dominated the oscars with slum dog millionaire and trampled the 2012

olympic opening ceremony, so why now for a sequel to the film which made his name? since we made the first movie, people constantly come up to me and talk about the characters like they know them, and that made us like they know them, and that made us think that we had, not an obligation, but kind of a duty to turn to it again. trainspotting was about the cutting edge. here are more than 20 years later. how do you make sure this is not the film equivalent of dad dancing? the truth is, you can't. part of the responsible to what you are doing is embracing the fact that we were making a sequel to a story that people knew intimately, and how we would go into grown up with that story, really. what really captured the zeitgeist in the original was the zeitgeist in the original was the famous choose live speech. choose leisurewear and matching luggage. and it is back in an updated version. choose facebook, twitter, instagram, and hope someone, somewhere cares. twitter, instagram, and hope someone, somewhere cares. delivered once again by ewan mcgregor returning in the role of renton.

after trainspotting came out, we we re after trainspotting came out, we were like the oasis of the movie industry in britain. we represented britpop movies, like. it was amazing. there was always a part of me that yearns for that again, i suppose. the four guys, it's fair to say, they have lived a bit, how do you think they have aged? there was was a moment in every shooting day, like the 20 years later moment, where you suddenly for 20 years had gone by since you were last playing this guy. so far reviews have mainly been positive, but it will be audiences who choose if it tarnishes their memories of the original. that's it. hello.

this is bbc news. a court in iran's rejected an appeal against a five—year prison sentence given to a woman with dual british and iranian citizenship. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, a charity worker accused of security offences, was detained while trying to leave the country with her baby daughter after visiting relatives in april. earlier i spoke to nazanin's husband, richard ratcliffe. he says the court decision is a massive setback. obviously the first sentence was the first five years, and we lived in hope it would change at an appeal. the longer time went between the appeal and the verdict, you start to get uncertain and unsure. how long was that? 18 days. as he could appeal is mike a secret court. there was a revolutionary guard, and

nazanin was there with her lawyer, but not of yours was allowed. what are the accusations? there have been different ones are different point. there were crazy stuff about her supposedly being involved in the overthrow the regime. what a motorist new one with two new ones, the first was that she was the head of recruitment and then the wife of a non—british spy. of recruitment and then the wife of a non-british spy. are you? it's not true. but of which are crazy and com pletely true. but of which are crazy and completely not true. nazanin works for the thomson reuters foundation. she did once worked for the bbc charity commission was production assistant and not some grand important role. and equally, as i understand, the reason they were accusing her of being married to a spy accusing her of being married to a spy was because of the media campaign that! spy was because of the media campaign that i have been doing, and the fact that they have 500 pages in herfile of media the fact that they have 500 pages in her file of media coverage. the fact that they have 500 pages in herfile of media coverage. so it is protesting innocence that proves your guilt. is there anything you

can put your finger on that may have initially led to her arrest?|j can put your finger on that may have initially led to her arrest? i think it is probably the fact that she has media connections and she works for a charity does media training. it doesn't do it in iran, but nonetheless it is the sort of country that could. that is what got her in, and since then the keep judging the stories. take us back to the day this happened. you are with your baby daughter? yes, they went there, they had a two—week trip, i was due to gatwick to become the airport and was due to gatwick to become the airportandi was due to gatwick to become the airport and i i was due to gatwick to become the airportand i i gota was due to gatwick to become the airport and i i got a call to say she didn't catch the flight, so don't go. and including worry about it at the time. they said there was a passport problem. and as the days went on and it was clear she had been taken for questioning and it wasn't clear where she was who had got, and it was weeks before it was confirmed that it was the revolutionary guard and has her. all this and that was terrifying. and the fact i have been sitting waiting a shimmering of them worked out fine and haven't done anything was hard when i realised what she had been

through and what had i done? where was your daughter at this point? see the given back to her grandparents, who were there to see nazanin off. since then she has been living with her grandparents. obviously very traumatic at the beginning. of course after ten months, her vast sea course after ten months, her vast sea is pretty much fluid, and there isa sea is pretty much fluid, and there is a way that her grandmother is mr sulu. mum. how old is she? she is two and a half. i have not seen her since this happened. we have skype calls most evenings. as she gets older she's "questions. she is still living in the moment really. polls have now closed in france in primaries to decide the socialist party's candidate to contest the french presidential election. seven candidates are on the initial ballot paper, butjust two candidates will make it through to the next round of voting. amongst those trying to win the nomination is former prime minster manuel valls.

our correspondent is in paris. all eyes on which candidates, hugh? manuel valls, as you say, the former prime minister. he is regarded as being on the right wing of the socialist party, and if all goes normally, he will get through against a left—wing candidate. the two ones to watch at a man called anwar hamon, —— benoit hamon. the results will, shortly, and it will be manuel valls against one of those figures from the left. that would make a classic left — right run off, and if the turnout is pretty good today, it looks like there will be around 2 million people voting, that will give to this rather hapless socialist campaign for the election a bit ofa socialist campaign for the election a bit of a boost. but you have to say in the context of the election as say in the context of the election asa say in the context of the election as a whole, what has happened today

is something of a sideshow, because the chances of any candidate winning, the poll tells us, becoming the next president, are very small indeed. let's look at the big picture, give us a taste of what the voters wa nt picture, give us a taste of what the voters want from these parties? the picture is we have a country divided into three little blocks, the traditional left, traditional right, and the far right. they have divided the country up into thirds, more or less. if we assume and we can kind of assumed that the national front is likely to get through to the second round of the race, it becomes a battle between the mainstream right in the mainstream left to get a place in that second round. the point about the socialist is put up a big fight and try to to get into the second round, but whoever wins this primary is flanked on his left and right by other candidates broadly of the left—wing camp who are doing rather better in the polls. in the far left weatherman

allied to the commonest tredwell in the polls, and the centre—left we have emmanuel macron, a moderate liberalise he was capturing a lot of ground in the centre of the spectrum and doing well in the polls. whoever wins the socialist primary will be squeezed by these two figures on the left and the right, and that might mean they have no chance at all getting through to the second round. thanks, hugh. now let's get the weather. good evening, cold out there again. just how cold depends on whether you have cloud of clear skies. clear skies have severe frost in places, but another spot to be less chilly. it will be dry but the areas of fog forming particular across southern and eastern parts of england as we head towards morning time. the fall could be an issue. these are the headline numbers, but in some areas

with clear skies it will be a lot lower. the fog will be a problem on monday and tuesday special across parts of england and wales with the real possibility of some disruption. warning from the met office, this is where the worst of it will be, in southern counties. some will keep the fault and be especially cold, but many of us will enjoy a dry and bright afternoon with some pleasant sunshine and the flight wins it won't feel too bad. temperatures and 4-6. won't feel too bad. temperatures and 4—6. with won't feel too bad. temperatures and 4-6. with the won't feel too bad. temperatures and 4—6. with the fog lingers and will bea 4—6. with the fog lingers and will be a lot colder. hello.

this is bbc news. the headlines. theresa may has refused to say whether she knew about a failed trident missile test when mps were voting to renew the weapons system. i have absolute faith in our trident missiles. when i made that speech in the house of commons, what we were talking about was whether or not we should renew our trident. hewing trade, nato and brexit are likely to be high on the agenda when the prime minister meets donald trump this friday.
