condemn what is seen as the white supremacist aspect of those incidents. some sensational allegations in this book from what we have read so far. do we learn a lot, do we think, but the real white house, the real donald trump?” think it is less about the white house and more about donald trump's time in the white house. already people are suggesting this book is not true, that it is actually not totally accurate. but whatever does come out will be incredibly damning to the president, which is why he is taking these dramatic steps to try and stop its publication. ironically though and brilliantly for the author himself, this huge storm is the best pr you could ever hope for. it isa the best pr you could ever hope for. it is a best seller already. it was meant to come out next week. but because of the excitement it is being published tomorrow. and donald trump so angry about it. the front page of the metro plays on that. keep your hair on. an unflattering

picture of the american president. as you say, the more he tries to stop this book being published, which seems a forlorn attempt, the more he —— it is destined to rise in the best seller lists. it is difficult to stop it being published. there will be leaks. everybody will try to get their hands on the book. it has reached the best seller list through pre—orders. what actually is going to happen would be quite interesting. i don't know if anything new is coming out of this. he has this perception. it seems to bea he has this perception. it seems to be a confirmation that a lot of people, allegations that a lot of people, allegations that a lot of people are made against him. how he comes out of it will be interesting. it is interesting with the leaks we have seen so far, the family of donald trump say there are suggestions his daughter had a sort of plan and part to become the next president following her father. really personal things about her

describing his hairstyle and how he managed to get it that way. stories of his wife crying when it was revealed he would be president, arriving in the white house not knowing how to do with that. the question of his mental health is quite a serious one. i remember the time in august when the racial violence was happening in virginia, the leader of the free world had this sort of extraordinary response to the violence and kept blaming both sides, then blaming one side, it was all very confused. these are pretty serious allegations that supposedly have been made by one of trump's closest allies. he has since come out and said, it is not me, we have a good relationship, i am super loyal to my old boss. have a good relationship, i am super loyalto my old boss. not have a good relationship, i am super loyal to my old boss. not that loyal! trump claimed he lost his mind when he left the white house. let's move on to the daily telegraph front page. it is on a number of

front page. it is on a number of front pages, the story aboutjohn warboys, sentenced to a minimum of eight years after drugging and sexually assaulting at least 12 women. he was a black cab driver, known as the black cab rapist, who had what was called in the trial as a rape kit in his vehicle. ian sloan to get released. this seems to be the biggest story of the night. it has struck quite a lot of people, i think, the fact that 102 people have come forward and alleged that this man has raped them. and as you have just read out, it was all premeditated. he had a rape kit in his car to carry out his crime. when the case was actually been discussed in the courts, i think it was in 2009, if i remember correctly, the police officers involved were

originally very surprised at what they thought was quite a lenient sentence that had been served. it had not been referred to the court of appeal at that time. that seemed like a surprise to a lot of the officers involved in this case. now, with this early release, it is very strange. he is going from a closed prison to being released. and laura, government sources are quoted as saying this is a surprising decision. the government are clearly very concerned? yes. and also david lidington, the justice secretary, has no powers to do anything about it. the concern would be the public perception of this decision by the three members of this panel who have approved his release and seemed to deem this man is now safe to be among women. there will be calls to see how they reached that verdict,

what the conversation was they had in that room when they made that decision. the number —— a number of the women have come forward and said they had absolutely no idea this decision had been taken. that to me is pretty shocking. they didn't even know this man was going to be coming out. one woman said she learned of the news while cooking tea for her children. she saw it on the television. jamie oliver in the daily mirror. stop your kids buying sugary energy drinks. shivering drinks isa sugary energy drinks. shivering drinks is a hot topic. we ran a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier )t topic. we ran a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier on. pic. we ran a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier on. ——. we ran a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier on. —— sugaran a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier on. —— sugar in a sugary energy drinks. shivering drink earlier on. —— sugar in drinks story earlier on. —— sugar in drinks isa story earlier on. —— sugar in drinks is a hot topic. the makers of iron bru are going to cut new meadow sugarinit bru are going to cut new meadow sugar in it by mark —— half. bru are going to cut new meadow sugar in it by mark -- half. jamie oliver has become known as a bit of a killjoy, saying children should not be reading this and that. when he himself has tried to serve kids healthy food at school, kids were

actually refusing to read that and we re actually refusing to read that and were actually trying to go and eat fast food somewhere else. the question would be to see how we actually deal with it as a society. i think actually deal with it as a society. ithinkfar actually deal with it as a society. i think far too often we are very quick to slap on a tax on something. toa quick to slap on a tax on something. to a certain extent we expect the state to be the parent rather than our parents, schools or communities. 0ften our parents, schools or communities. often that does not work. if we're not getting into the habit of healthy eating, people will stockpile and probably have the sugar and take it from somewhere else. i question the merits of that toa else. i question the merits of that to a certain extent. of course we need to be concerned about what we eat. let's move on to the guardian. the nhs story is a big story this week. the postponement of routine operations causing a lot of people a lot of anxiety. the prime minister, an apology to the patients hit by the this —— by these delays. a politically damaging to think this is too theresa may? i think it was

quite damaging yesterday that jeremy hunt apologised. when she gave a statement she chose not to apologise. she has struck a different tone today and has made that apology, probably because she felt it was necessary. it is damaging for her because obviously the strained relationship she has with stephen —— simon stevens, who asa with stephen —— simon stevens, who as a transactional arrangement of number10 at the as a transactional arrangement of number 10 at the moment in a way he didn't have under george osborne. he has kept out of the dark. before christmas theresa may said as head of the nhs you are personally responsible for ensuring we get through this winter. every statement ever made by her on the nhs contributes to this slightly bizarre strained transactional relationship that these two have. it probably paid for a politically today to apologise but labour will jump paid for a politically today to apologise but labour willjump on this and called for more money to be put into the nhs. problems in the

nhs, the education system. the times front page, crisis in teacher recruitment as applications have fallen by a third. that is a big drop? yes, concerns are apparently around classroom stress —— stress and accountability. and confusion about routes into the profession. that is very strange. classroom stress i can understand. accountability and confusion around route into the profession is something we should be able to deal with. accountability, what does that mean for teachers? accountability is something that every adult in every industry would have two deal with. i don't understand how they propose to deal with it. they are comparing the jobs with management consultancy etc. accountability will be an issue in thosejobs. are etc. accountability will be an issue in those jobs. are we saying we're not preparing our teachers when we are providing them with the training, with the necessary tools you need for the role? and how can

you need for the role? and how can you do, what can you do to train them better for these you do, what can you do to train them betterfor these particular stresses of this particular industry? the financialtimes, laura, your paper. frontpage. they have got a about defence. toggles through that? defence cuts is a big issue. it has been recently. the defence minister recently urging the government not to make any more cuts. the government does not know how to deal with a black hole in funding. they are trying to break it up funding. they are trying to break it up into little bits so they don't have to answer questions as to how they have gone to plug this massive 95p~ they have gone to plug this massive gap. we have certain targets. there are still proposing... there are calls from senior politicians asking for more money. the goblin don't seem for more money. the goblin don't seem to know where it is god, from. they are pushing the issue back into the long grass for as long as they can. in a sense there is not enough

money for the health service either. a perennial problem for government. where do you allocate the resources? it is always going to be about priorities. when it comes to security, the conservative problem is also that there is a group of very plucky young conservative mps who feel very passionately about this. they have been adding their voices to it. johnny mercer, seem to bea voices to it. johnny mercer, seem to be a rising star in the conservative party. this could be politically quite difficult for theresa may and her government. a few seconds left. laura, looking ahead to 2018 as a political correspondent, would this bea political correspondent, would this be a difficult year for the prime minister? if you look back at last year from the terrorist attacks to the brexit negotiations, to losing cabinet ministers, she is going to try to watch yourself this year. she doesn't want to be the brexit prime minister. she will try to talk about other things. but in reality it is

going to be about brexit. i am not predicting anything because i don't think you can. you spoilsport! all right. no predictions. thank you indeed. good to talk to you. that is it from the papers denied. you can see the front pages online, on bbc news website, seven days a week. if you missed —— missed the programme any evening of the week, you can watch it on my player. thank you can watch it on my player. thank you again. that is it. goodbye. good evening. after a very wet and windy weather associated with storm eleanor, that has cleared away. things are looking camera. here is the sunset captured by one of weather watchers in kent showing some clear skies. overnight we will

continue to seek clear spells but also showers pushing from west to east across southern england and wales. some of them quite squally. windy in the south—west. 70 miles per gusts. further north, a cold night. rain until snow across parts of scotla nd night. rain until snow across parts of scotland and north—east england. a frosty start across northern part of the country. further south. on friday, a band of showery rain pushing slowly eastwards across central england, parts of wales. some sunshine around the south coast and north—west england, wales and northern ireland. a brighter day but then we have seen recently. we will see the rain until snow lingering for a time across eastern scotland and north—east england. moving through friday night, mist and fog forming quite widely through central and southern england and wales. further north, frost and ice will be more of a problem as temperatures plummet into the weekend. we will start to draw in the winds from a

north, north—easterly direction on saturday. high pressure building across the country. it is the northern half of the country that sees the cold air moving in, replacing the cloud with sunshine. largely dry. further south, replacing the cloud with sunshine. largely dry. furthersouth, more cloud, a few showers. wherever you are, it will be a fairly chilly day. for the south, temperatures could reach six or seven in some parts of england. saturday night will be a particularly cold one. skies clear and the cold air moves in from the north. minus four degrees. —10 in the country. a chilly start to sunday morning with a widespread sharp frost and the chance of some icy stretches around. take care on the roads first thing sunday. with high pressure in charge it should be a fine day. there will be some sunshine. temperatures around one to 7 degrees. it looks like we will hold onto the cold but the brighter weather as we had in two monday.

things turn more unsettled by the middle of the week. bye—bye. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11. theresa may apologises for the postponement of thousands of operations because of winter pressures on the nhs in england president trump tries to silence his former chief strategist by banning a book about goings on in the trump whitehouse. the london taxi driver believed to have raped and assaulted more than a 100 women is to be freed after ten years injail. and on newsnight, you've heard of bitcoin, the digital currency that appears to conjure up money from nothing. but we'll look at the other wacky speculation going on in the world of cryptocurrencies. it's been called the dotcom boom on steriods. why is it so bedazzling to shareholders?
