welcome to bbc news. president trump is embroiled in a row about whether he's a racist after being forced to deny making derogatory remarks, including the use of an expletive, about african countries. he's been accused of making the comments in the white house, during a meeting about his plans to overhaul the immigration system. a un spokesman has accused the president of making racist comments .a number of african countries have reacted with outrage. from washington, nick bryant reports. this is a great and important day... the forces of american history seem to collide at the white house today. donald trump signing a proclamation in honour of the civil rights leader, martin luther king, at the

moment he stands accused of using a slur directed at african nations. here he stuck to his script. today we celebrate doctor king fought standing upfor we celebrate doctor king fought standing up for that self—evident truth americans hold so dear that no matter the colour of our skin or the place of our birth, we roll created equal by god. mr president, will you give an apology for the statement yesterday? after the ceremony and unceremonious moment. a sitting president being asked by a reporter if he isn't racist. mr president, are you a racist? it was behind closed door that allegedly donald trump claimed african nations came from shithole countries. donald trump said he used strong language though not that word. he has been

fiercely contradicted by a senior democrat who was present.” fiercely contradicted by a senior democrat who was present. i cannot believe that in the history of the white house and the oval office any president has spoken of the words oui’ president has spoken of the words our president spoke yesterday. the no surprise, the president started tweeting this morning denying he did not use those words. it is not true. he said these hateful things and he said that repeatedly. from the un the stiffest of rebukes. these are shocking and shameful comments from the president of the united states. iam the president of the united states. i am sorry but there is now the word ican i am sorry but there is now the word i can use but racist. you can not dismiss entire countries and continents as shitholes. the botswa na continents as shitholes. the botswana government called the comments reprehensible and braces. it may be just words, but on this continent, that word is an insult.

bill the wall is a cry of voters who love donald trump. we are going to build the wall, the quarry. he was said to be doing a victory lap believing this row will brave up his base. donald trump launched this campaign with an attack on mexican immigrants and rose to prominence by claiming falsely that barack 0bama was not an american. this latest racial controversy will doubtless please at least some of his supporters at home but it undercuts us leadership abroad and shows again how america first can mean america alone. a surgeon who branded his initials onto the livers of two transplant patients has been fined £10,000 and given a community service order. simon bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault in december. his crimes — carried out at queen elizabeth hospital

in birmingham — were discovered when the patients returned to hospital for further surgery as sima kotecha reports. reporter: mr bramhall, what's your reaction? simon bramhall, once a respected surgeon, now a convicted criminal. what would you like to say to the patients, mr bramhall? today, he was fined £10,000 after pleading guilty to assaulting two patients by marking his initials on their livers. his victims were undergoing liver transplants at the time. in court, judge paul farrer qc told him: well, it was here at the queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham where bramhall committed his offences. he marked the livers in 2013 and it was a year later, after a disciplinary hearing, that he resigned from his post. another of his patients, who also underwent a liver

transplant by him, says he shouldn't be punished. signing his work is just his way of showing the artwork he's done. the fact that he's saved so many lives through all the operations he's carried out, mine included, because without him i wouldn't be here, just makes me think he needs to carry on doing what he's good at. bramhall branded sb on the organs with an argon beam machine, a heat—projecting device usually used to stop any bleeding. the crown prosecution service compared its imprint to a minor burn. what happened was a crime. the rule of law applies equally to everybody, including doctors, so it's important to hold people to account when they commit a crime of assault, and that's what's happened here. the markings were discovered after other surgeons noticed them during operations. bramhall betrayed the trust of his patients and took advantage of them when they were at their most vulnerable. the general medical council, which has already issued him

with a formal warning, will now decide whether to take any further action against the surgeon. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. families searching for missing relatives after the manchester arena bombing were subjected to intrusive media attention, according to a progress report. it's part of a review by lord kerslake into the response to the bombing in may last year in which 22 people were killed. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz has been speaking to one of the families affected. within moments of the manchester arena bombing, the attack was worldwide news. phone footage was shared immediately. camera crews and journalists provided round—the—clock coverage for days afterwards. and there were countless posts on social media, as well. there was huge interest in the stories of those most closely affected, they included the family of martin hecht, one of those killed in the blast.

martin had a large online following and had previously been on tv. his relatives quickly found themselves in the spotlight. press reporters arrived at their house, before the family knew that martin had died. we had people coming round, knocking on the door, ringing the bell, basically saying, "sorry for your loss, but would you like to comment?" he wasn't even officially dead yet. how can anyone be so cruel and say, "sorry for your loss?" we didn't find out officially until that evening that he was dead. the way the emergency services responded to the arena attack is already being reviewed by an independent panel. now, it will also examine the role which the media played during the aftermath. much of the media handled families in a very respectful way. but we have heard examples where that wasn't the case

and we feel that needs to be explored and understood. # walk on.# the families of those who died in the hillsborough disaster lost their relatives in very different, but equally public, circumstances. their struggle has inspired a charter for families bereaved through public tragedy. there are elements of the response that could have been better... the arena review asks organisations to sign up to it and put the needs of such families before their own reputations. i want anybody who works in our emergency services to know that they will be supported in coming forward to tell it exactly as it was. because that is what we need. we need the families to have the truth as quickly as possible, so that they can take that on board and that will help with the grieving process. in march, the full review into the attack will be published. eight months after these 22 people died, their families' lives are still dominated by the tragedy. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the government is being urged to bring contracts from the construction giant carillion into public control amid fears it could collapse. it's a major supplier

to the government and has contracts in the rail industry — including building hs2 — in education, prisons and in the nhs. it's struggled since reporting half—year losses of over a billion pounds and a significant pension deficit. young women with a faulty gene who have gone on to develop breast cancer have the same chance of survival as those who do not have it. a study also found out what ever kind of treatment women had it does not change the statistics. diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 35 years old and five months pregnant, laura faced childbirth and then cancer treatment. she carries a brca gene mutation and so, like many women in her position,

she opted to have both breasts removed. i decided to have a double mastectomy. my oncologist was keen for me to have it and i was, as well, because i was told that the risk of me getting cancer again was 50%, so it didn't seem worth the risk, really. a new study followed nearly 3,000 women aged a0 or younger diagnosed with breast cancer in britain. it found no difference in survival between those who carried brca breast cancer genes and those who didn't. and it found no survival benefit from a double mastectomy. after ten years, around seven in ten women survived in all groups. so what does this mean for women carrying a brca gene? i think the key message is that it allows them time to consider all of their options. so they may still need to go ahead and have a double mastectomy because of their risk and for long—term survival. but i think it encourages us to think that they can

take their time and discuss and consider all of their options and make the right decision for them. this study didn't look at prevention. one in a50 women carry faulty brca genes. it means they have a 45—90% chance of getting breast cancer, and many women with a strong family history of breast cancer opt for preventative double mastectomies, which almost eliminates the risk. like angelina jolie, the actress and campaigner who revealed she had preventative surgery, it led to greatly—raised awareness of brca gene mutations. this study looked only at young women, like laura. 95% of breast cancers are in the over 40s. laura says if she had her time again, she might have delayed having a double mastectomy, but she has no regrets. fergus walsh, bbc news. it's the queen as you've never seen

or heard her before. to mark the 65th anniversary of her coronation in 1953, her majesty has been giving a unique insight into the day and what it meant to her. she's been speaking to the royal commentator alastair bruce for a bbc programme. a key piece of advice for any would be monarch — don't look down — as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she'll get: a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels, and the imperial state crown worn by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately, my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still? yes. it was huge then. yes. very unwieldy. you can't look down

to read a speech, you have take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. it's difficult to always remember that diamonds are stones, so very heavy. yes. so there are some disadvantages to crowns. but otherwise, they're quite important things. she rode to her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tons. it's not built for comfort. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. it's only sprung on leather. so it rocks around a lot. it's not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? halfway round london. really? we must have gone about four orfive miles — we could only go at a walking pace. the horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation — the crown — the real one.

nicholas witchell, bbc news. and you can see ‘the coronation‘ on sunday evening, at 8 o'clock on bbc one. now it's time for newsnight with kirsty wark. the president of the united states uses the crudest of language to dismiss immigrants from haiti, el salvador and parts of africa before calling for more immigration from norway instead. today he went off for his annual medical exam as his alleged words quickly wound up in the wall street journal. we'll ask the african union's ambassador to washington if the president is just a straightforward racist. also tonight, guess who's had an epiphany? people will see more posts from people they are connected to and less content from publishers. facebook was built to connect you to the stories and people that matter
