that have not costing £1 billion that have not entered front—line service for 12 years after being ordered and light tanks that are too big to fit into the troop support aircraft. this is a litany of things that has gone on with our equipment. there are others we can allude to, before, do you rememberthe we can allude to, before, do you remember the aircraft carrier that was commissioned for absolutely tonnes of money and then it turned out it could never have aircraft? even the trident missile misfiring. i was going to say that. but they say that is what happens. the fact this destroyer sounds like a box of spammers under water and you can hear it from 100 miles away, you just... it does beggar belief. do we know how they are getting the information? rear admiral chris parry, a former mod director of operations. someone to listen to, then. he is saying that it is bundling. he says the navy mistakenly overlooked suppressing noise of the destroyed after the cold war ended because the threat from russian submarines had diminished. and it is important,

this kind of story because we are at the moment in this kind of untested time with the new president and a new relationship with the president and the kremlin and we don't know how it is going to fall out and beans being mentioned about iran again. we need to know that our defence agreement. —— things being mentioned. who wants to have a quick go at the vegetable story? this is the story. the telegraph front pages talking about ebay. a huge vegetable shortage because of terrible weather in spain, when they had a load of rain followed by frost which meant they could not replant. lettuces, we know that already, they are being rationed and various vegetables are being rationed and now they are being rationed and now they are being seen on ebay for gigantic sums of money. were you aware of the shortage? i don't know if you'd been round the supermarket. reds with three children, i buy vegetables every day and feed them to them but it makes you think that those of us who have allotments, if anyone does,

could be coining it in. i'm going to go and look in my vegetable patch right now! we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us. that's it for the papers this hour. you'll both be back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. coming up next, reporters. welcome to reporters. i'm phillipa thomas. from here in the world's newsroom we send out correspondents to bring you the best stories from across the globe. in this week's programme. i think god led this country to put donald trump in office. divided america. after week two of donald trump's unique style of diplomacy, further splits in opinion.

nick bryant travels to the bible belt of tennessee and finds his supporters fully behind their new president. there are two americas right now and how you react to donald trump determines which one you inhabit. i am 12 years old. 12 years old. the children of la forced into prostitution. angus crawford gets exclusive access to the us police operation to rescue them and meets the girls stuck in a life of hell. what sort of things have happened to you working on the street? raped, someone pulled a knife out on me, a gun, tried to rob me. shark sighting, of a large shark. we do advise that nobody enter the water. and, protecting australia's beaches. hywel griffiths reports on how shark nets are keeping the swimmers safe but harming marine life. it is two weeks since he took the oath of office and president trump's administration

has already issued dozens of orders, many of them sharply dividing opinion. but the president's supporters say he's simply fulfilling the promises he made on the campaign trail, whether people like them or not. nick bryant has travelled to the southern state of tennessee to see how people are taking to their new president. the hills of eastern tennessee, a landscape that reminds us that it wasn't just the rust belt that won donald trump the presidency, but the bible belt, as well. father god, we are so grateful to meet here together... chattanooga prides itself on being the buckle of that belt and at this bible study group this morning, praise for his socially conservative supreme court nominee, and thanks to god for placing him in the white house. god has done a work in him. he has changed him. you can just see it in the people he surrounds himself with. and i do believe he's brought a seriousness that people just didn't think were going to come out of donald trump.

i think god led this country to put donald trump in office. i was very opposed to him. mark west started out as a never trump republican. he is an evangelical christian who looked upon the new yorker as a philandering playboy but he's become a convert. social conservatives and conservatives in general have been so fed up with washington for so long, for decades, that we wanted someone to go to washington and blow it up. whether i was a trump supporter or not, so many of us are looking for trump to do exactly what he has been doing so far, to completely change the landscape, figuratively blow up washington and give us a new american revolution. it has been the pace of the trump presidency, it's felt like a final furlong gallop, that's impressed kelly and todd floyd. we are excited to see what he will continue to do. you think he is making good on his promises? i think he is, i think the implementation of the immigration policy showed that he was not a career politician,

but i think that's why he got voted into office, because we don't want career politicians any more. there's no sign here of buyer's remorse. to travel from coastal cities like new york and los angeles into these heartland communities feels like crossing into a parallel universe. there are two americas right now and how you react to donald trump determines which one you inhabit. the cannons from the american civil war that dot this landscape can be viewed both as relics of the past and reminders of how conflict and divisiveness is almost written into this nation's dna, and once again, it feels like the people of america are sharing the same continent but not the same country. nick bryant, bbc news, tennessee. it's thought to be the los angeles , operation to find girls, some as young as 11, and young women who have been forced

into a life of sexual exploitation. officers made almost 500 arrests and rescued more than 50 people. angus crawford was given exclusive access to the operation to free them. look beyond the handcuffs and the painted nails. these aren't adults, just girls aged 16 and 17 arrested on the street for prostitution. once inside, no cell, no bars or locks, just a room, a place of safety where young people can get help and support. we find minors every day that are out here working. 11 is the youngest we've had. on the street they call the blade, in the richest country in the world, children are bought and sold at any time of day, every day. a car approached us — she's again moving slowly.

over a car driven by a man they know isa pimp. when they stopped it, a young woman got out of the car and they're concerned about her. she says she's 19. her parents have reported her missing. see her tattoo? it's the name of her pimp. here, they call it branding. a lot of these girls, when we talk to them, they'll tell us they're out here for 20 hours a day working. they get a little bit of food. they get abused physically, sexually. it's barbaric what's being done to these little kids. my cousin grabbed me on the way home from school... america is slowly waking up to reality. thousands of children are being sexually exploited for money. i am 12 years old. 12 years old. that's why they launched

operation reclaim and rebuild, state—wide, lasting three days. prostitutes and customers arrested, processed. some are released with a warning. for others, it's jail. just 18, caught for a second time, treasure. she started on the street in middle school. you were a child when you first started doing this? yeah. what sort of things have happened to you working on the street? raped, someone pulled a knife out on me, a gun, tried to rob me. for detective brian gallagher, it seems neverending. children forced to work the streets turn into women who know only this, a life of violence and exploitation. angus crawford, bbc news, los angeles. campaigners in australia are calling for an end to the use of shark nets because they're killing too many dolphins and turtles. a recent spate of shark attacks

on the east coast has forced the authorities to put up more, but some nets have been cut deliberately by those who oppose them. as hywel griffiths reports from sydney, there is a fine line between keeping swimmers safe and protecting marine life. in a country where catching a wave is a national obsession, the allure of the ocean is endless. as is the debate over how best to share these waters with some of the locals. shark nets have been australia's answer since the 1930s. sections are set hundreds of metres out at sea. they don't create an enclosure, but they do offer reassurance. i think they're a great idea. we have got to try to protect our kids. so, that's what it's all about to me. probably against them. you see creatures in the wildlife getting stuck out there. you take a risk swimming in the ocean and that's where sharks belong. that's what the nets

are meant to keep out. great whites are one of ten species targeted by the programme here in new south wales. the nets are put in place from september to april, when these beaches at are at their busiest. last year, they trapped over 130 of the targeted, more dangerous sharks, but they also trapped another 600 marine animals, including dolphins, rays and turtles. this video shows what happens when one becomes entangled. a group of tourists managed to set this turtle free but 19 others died checked every three days. around half of the animals are set free alive, but some campaigners have decided to take matters into their own hands. this is their home, that's where they live. we can't exclude them from where they live. they're not coming up into the car parks to get us, so let's not go into the ocean to kill them. diver dave thomas admits he's cut

shark nets in the past to free trapped rays. he argues they don't really protect humans, only harm the sea life. the net is a random thing. it's not based on any science or factual data. it is out there killing anything and everything and the risk to people is negliable. shark sighting, rather a large shark. we advise nobody enter the water... there hasn't been a fatal shark attack on these beaches in 60 years. the local government says it is a sign the nets do work and that cutting them is dangerous. people who have deliberately tampered with the nets, that have cut the nets, released them from anchors or floats, obviously very dangerous, not only for the individuals involved, but creating a real hazard for the swimmers and surfers at those beaches. finding the right balance between protecting humans and preserving sea life is a challenge and here it seems as elusive as ever.

that's all from reporters for this week. from me, phillipa thomas, goodbye for now. this evening, we have a few heavy showers lurking. not a completely dry picture out there. also a few showers in the forecast for tomorrow but they won't be as heavy. in fact, earlier today, we had thunderstorms in the south—west and of course, a thoroughly wet day across scotland. but overall tonight, most of us won't be getting rainfall. it is just cloudy, misty and murky and pretty chilly in northern areas, close to freezing for most of us,

around two or three degrees first thing on sunday. on sunday itself, overall, a pretty cloudy day. again, showers across western areas, maybe cornwall, devon and somerset, through wales, into northern ireland and the western isles but the north of scotland, the best of the weather on sunday, lots of sunshine. partly cloudy skies for the rest of the uk. sunday night into monday, clear skies, a frosty one, so a frosty start to monday and then some rain reaching us a bit later in the day. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: president trump angrily rejects a us court ruling which temporarily lifts his ban on travellers from seven muslim majority countries. it's not the loudest voice that prevails in a courtroom. it's the constitution. i signed an executive order to help keep terrorists out of our country. labour promise they would cap future fuel price hikes by the energy companies. after days of protests in romania,

the government agrees to scrap a decree that would have cutjail terms for some corruption offences. in half an hour we'll take another look at how the weekend's big stories are being covered on tomorrow's front pages. including the observer, which says theresa may is about to drop the conservatives' long standing policy of encouraging home ownership.
