the does need about 7.5 billion. the chancellor would have to announce something and something for social ca re something and something for social care because old people cannot be discharged. it is all about social care. there is no such thing as corporation tax, corporations, it is added on and they figure that into their bottom line is ultimately it is paid directly by the consumer. get rid of it and the costs will go up. we will carry on this conversation in an hour. that's it for the papers this hour. thank you charlie wolf and john rentoul — you'll both be back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. coming up next, reporters. hello. welcome to reporters.

i'm david eades, and from here at the bbc newsroom, we send our correspondents to bring you the best stories from across the globe. in this week's programme, the other side of the american dream. as donald trump sets out his vision for the next four years, ian pannell assesses the challenges that lie ahead. if you want to know what poverty in america looks like, well, this is it. president trump says he is going to fix it. he's going to deal with what he calls the carnage in america, of crime, of drugs, of gangs, of violence and of poverty. maram's story. quentin somerville tells the tale of the syrian baby who lost her parents and had nearly every limb broken in a bombing in aleppo. and also her reunion with the british doctor who saved her. hello. david shukman reports on plans

for two passengers to join the first manned flight to deep space for more than a0 years. it's going to give two rich people the thrill of a lifetime. basically it's really an adventure thrill ride that demonstrates a new capability. president trump used his first speech to congress to declare what he called a new chapter of american greatness. in a surprisingly measured tone, he asked legislators to pass a $1 trillion package to build new infrastructure and he missed massive tax relief for the middle class. —— promised. but what about his pledge at his inauguration to help the poor and repair what he called the carnage in america, crime, drugs, gangs and poverty? well, ian pannell has been to baltimore, where a quarter of the population lives in poverty, and many no longer see america as the land of opportunity. say hello to jackson. a citizen of the wealthiest country in the world has ever known. and yet, he's clothed in hand—outs.

his parents can't find work. they have no home of their own, and every morning, they come to the manor house charity, where the poor of baltimore meet for a little food, warmth and compassion. what is your message to president trump? come and help us. instead of critiquing is, come and help us. you'll see we need help. bad. gun crime is surging. baltimore was even more violent than chicago last year, driven by gang turf wars. for some of its residents, this is a city where selling your body or selling drugs is the onlyjob available. if you want to know what poverty in america looks like. well, this is it. incredibly, this entire block is pretty much made up of dilapidated, abandoned houses. incredibly, some people are living in between here. under president obama, poverty grew in america,

and president trump says he is going to fix it. he's going to deal with what he calls the carnage in america, of crime, of drugs, of violence and of poverty. and there are few places better to do that than baltimore. and this is where it resides, on a bleak row of abandoned homes. this is the end of the line for americans gripped by poverty. here, we met the last family living on the block. three generations of the stewart family are crammed in here. they are months behind on the rent. unpaid bills are piling up, not surprisingly they just have $30 a day to survive. i love you. be careful. have a good day. they've been evicted before, forced to live in one of baltimore's many abandoned homes. it hurts, it hurts that they have to stay wrapped up in blankets all day because they are cold. they don't want to get out of bed because there's no heat to keep them warm.

people talk about us. they get bullied in school because of it. it hurts. for so many people, this is no longer a land of opportunity. hope has given way to despair. and the children who clamour for charity hand—outs have no american dream. it will be perhaps the biggest challenge for the new president. ian panel, bbc news, baltimore. the syrian conflict of course is full of terrible tales of horror and suffering, but one story stands out as a symbol ofjust how brutal and unfair war could be. in the new year, five—year—old maram lost both her parents and nearly every limb in her body was broken when her house was bombed in aleppo. the british surgeon who operated on her watched her leave for asylum in turkey, not knowing if she would survive. well, seven months on, doctor david nott has returned to turkey to be reunited with maram. as quentin somerville reports, this is a harrowing story with a happy ending.

so much of aleppo's pain is anonymous. but maram's suffering was unforgettable. an air strike killed her parents and left her gravely ill. inside syria, doctor david knott worked to save her leg. there was shrapnel inside her hip. from here, and only five months old, she was evacuated to turkey, lost and alone. but after months of searching, the bbc tracked her down and reunited the two. oh, my goodness me. well, well, well. hello.

gosh. gosh, she looks beautiful. you look beautiful! absolutely beautiful. look what i have got for you. it's a dolly. dolly. is her leg healing? the final surgery was nearly too much. maram almost didn't make it. her wounds are healing, but there will be work to reconstruct her bones and repair damaged nerves. it's said children can't remember pain. few though have as much to forget as maram. when i saw maram today, it was very emotional. as a doctor, you try and stay fairly unemotional when you're dealing

with lots of people with injuries. i suppose having got children as well now, and how much you love that child, you know, a tiny piece of my heart was left with maram. that's what i have been thinking about everyday since leaving. this morning was a beautiful moment. to meet her again. how ready are we to fly to the moon and back for a holiday? well, the prospect of space tourism has moved a little closer this week, after an american aerospace company spacex has said it has room for two passengers on its next mission 2018. this would be the first manned flight to deep space in more than a0 years, although it would involve

a lunar landing as such. —— would not involve a lunar landing. there's a catch. it's going to cost you $100 million a seat. 0ur science editor, david shukman has been to find out more. a spacex promotion. bold and often boastful, this young company knows how to whip up excitement. the rocket is the falcon heavy. it's yet to be launched. this is an animation, but already, two tourists have been promised seats on it to fly around the moon as early as next year. not since the last apollo mission, back in 1972, have any humans flown anywhere near the moon. the tourists will not be landing on it, but if this trip happens then they will get amazing views, and space scientists say this is plausible. we are really now entering the era where space tourism is a possibility. in fact, a probability. maybe not for another 10, 15, 20 years, for ordinary people to afford it. it will be the playground of the rich. the man behind spacex is elon musk.

when i met him he spilled out a startling vision of travel beyond earth. i think we are really entering a new era of space travel that's very exciting. there is a history of spacex promises running late but eventually being delivered. ten days ago, it landed a huge rocket, significant because reusing spacecraft will make launches cheaper. last year, one of its rocket blew up, but spacex quickly got back to its key business of launching satellites. this week, its dragon capsule delivered cargo to the international space station. a trip to the moon is obviously harder, and critics say it would just be a joyride. well, it's going to give two rich people a thrill of a lifetime. it's not anything to do with science or exploration. it's repeating missions that have been done a0 plus years before, so it's basically an adventure, a thrill ride that demonstrates a new capability. i love space.

so, how much will it cost? well, tourists visiting the international space station have paid at least $20 million each. a moon trip would be much more. we don't know who the two passengers are, but if they get there, they may pave the way for others to follow. david shukman, bbc news. that's your lot from reporters this week. from me, david eades, goodbye. weather fronts swinging back and forth across the uk like a pendulum. no two days are the same which is welcome news if you live in scotland where it was pretty miserable, hardly worth stepping outside.

different across the midlands — beautiful blue skies as depicted from bournville. the showers spoilt the end of the day and the persistent rain has been across the far north and east, over an inch of rain in scotland. low pressure continues to move that rain across the northern isles and be replaced by another weather front pushing into the south—west bringing wet and windy weather. sandwiched in between some clear sky, a light frost possible but you should start the day with decent spells of sunshine. it is not expected to last, gale force gusts and rain across the south—west pushing away steadily north and east through the morning. the best of the sunshine is likely to beat in the extreme north, a scattering of showers in scotland but in comparison to today, batter. but in comparison to today, better. decent in northern ireland and the north of england, the rain sitting down into the south—east by 9am

accompanied by squally winds. following on behind, scattered showers though some showers across the south—west and west wales will merge for longer spells of rain and the wind will remain quite a feature. for some, not a pleasant afternoon, clusters of showers driven along further inland with westerly winds and in the north we keep sunshine, a better day. in terms of the feel of things, not as warm as today, seven to 10 degrees is the overall high. the early half of next week, it looks as if the unsettled theme continues, low pressure moves away but another with a glancing blow in the south—west first thing on monday but a relatively quiet and cloudy day on monday before another system waits in the wings for tuesday. all that translates monday into tuesday as being rather a cloudy day on monday, heavy rain into the south—west early on, persistent rain on tuesday.

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00. barack obama's spokesman says president donald trump's accusation that his predecessor ordered his phones to be tapped is "simply false". sinn fein describe the stormont assembly elections as a watershed — after coming within one seat of drawing level with the democratic unionist party. reunion to the majority in the assembly has been ended and the notion of a perpetual majority has
