confidence, someone. it undermines confidence. of course it does. donald trump. his one year in... in office as president. he is on the front page of the times with his daughter. there is an analysis of 25,000 tweets. we thought he had them all in one year but no he is not a prolific. that would be 70 tweets a day. it is more like 17 tweets a day over four years. it seems like more. he does get quite a lot of attention for each one and now he has 280 characters to play with. there is an analysis in the times. there seems
10:46 pm
to be some method to it.” analysis in the times. there seems to be some method to it. i don't know about method... the times analysis is fascinating because it picks out that the word he uses most often is great. it has these fancy graphs showing the frequency that he uses graphs showing the frequency that he uses phrases, such as crooked hillary. he doesn't sleep a lot. apparently you only sleeps only four hours a night will stop. what let out at me was that britain, the word britain, appears only seven times whereas france appears 21 times. i guess that is partly to do with the terrorist attacks in france. theresa

may is looking for reassurance. towards the end of this article it does say that there is some kind of strategic use of social media. is that reading too much into it?” wrote an article once saying that the way donald trump uses twitter is brilliant, clever. but ever since then you have just realised that it is not at all. it is all instinctive and is based on something that he hasjust seen and is based on something that he has just seen on television. he just five them off. it is the sort of stuff that goes down very well with his supporters. his ratings are not great. they have been drifting downward since the election but he still does have a lot of support in
10:48 pm
america and those people are not shifting. and likely doesn't have to pay for the of an! . one of the first things i was taught that the young journalist was never to use exclamation marks. i can't stand the use of the double! in particular. capitals look like you are shouting at someone. that is donald trump after being in the presidency for one year. nowhere else. it feels like longer. let's look at the telegraph. the uk could rejoin eu in future. we haven't even left through brexit yet and we might one day go back in. yeah, he has taken overfrom damian
10:49 pm
green as the de facto deputy prime minister, i thought when damien green left we had seen the back of that description. but no — green left we had seen the back of that description. but no - he's the de facto, de facto deputy prime minister. if you're keeping up! he's nextin minister. if you're keeping up! he's next in line. he's a heartbeat minister. if you're keeping up! he's next in line. he's a heart beat away from being prime minister and one of the leading europhiles in the cabinet, he was staunch pro—eu conservative mp, in this interview with the telegraph, gordon rainer has got a great line where he speculates that once we've left maybe in a generation's time, we could talk about rejoining again, which logically, of course, anything could happen in the future. but at this point precise moment in time, politically, it's a bit a daft thing to say, think i. -- i think. it makes the point that europe would probably have to be, and probably
10:50 pm
will be rather different by then. again, that's part of the speculation about what might happen in the future. you know, who knows what might happen. i do think once brexit does happen, i think the european union might well want to think again about how it operates. it might change. but, you know, as kevin says, it's a gift to the daily brexit graph. i'm surprised at david livington, one of the cleverest members of the cabinet. i'm surprised he didn't see that question coming and work round it. maybe he's answer today that way for a reason. who knows. well, maybe. let's stay with the telegraph. that gets us nicely from europe to the next story about carillion on the ft. carillion, channel bridge, suggested by boris johnson, ft. carillion, channel bridge, suggested by borisjohnson, there it is, the car going off the end, because they haven't finished building it. job fears rise on the
10:51 pm
ft. cherry—picking of assets looks fairly inevitable. yeah, as carillion has gone bust, obviously, there will be a scramble to pick up there will be a scramble to pick up the profitable bits of what is left. you know, there are obviously concerns about the jobs in the long run. what's interesting about the jobsis run. what's interesting about the jobs is how many of them are being guaranteed for the moment. all the ones in the public sector contracts are 90% —— and 90% of the private sector contracts are being kept going, which actually, you know, suggests that things might not be quite as bad as we feared when we heard they'd gone bust. you hope not with all the people whose jobs depend upon it. the kier group has offered to take on 200 people. the banks are being encouraged to extend credit. yeah it's notjust the
10:52 pm
employees that clearly are very, very worried at the moment. it's the other companies in the carillion supply chain, who are relying on carillion paying them in order to pay their employees. obviously they've gone bust owing millions and millions of pounds. so there's an awful lot of companies who are left out of pocket as well. that has a knock—on effect. as you say, the banks are being encouraged to be a bit lenient with them. there's many ripples to this particular story. i think it's got a long way to run. all those services and contracts do need, you know, if the work needs to be done, it needs to be done by someone. be done, it needs to be done by someone. that's right and probably ata someone. that's right and probably at a slightly higher price, because the companies that are going to come in, will obviously, i mean, the reason carillion went bust, one of the reasons was because it had underpriced the contracts. in the end, the taxpayer is going to have to pay more. in a sense, that'sjust
10:53 pm
compensating for the fact that we we re compensating for the fact that we were getting a very good deal before at carillion's expense. let's look at carillion's expense. let's look at the daily mail. what a waste revealed, it says. half a million tons of rubbish that we put out for recycling is being dumped in landfill or burned instead. i think most of the recycling that i put out got blown across the garden this week in the wind. we had to pick it i week in the wind. we had to pick it up! this has been suspected for a long time, that the contamination as well, if you've not sorted it out properly, it's useless. yeah, i mean, i know that our own recycling, everything, cardboard, plastic, tins, newspapers, everything goes in the one bucket, so i mean... you get a bucket? in west london. a massive big wheelie bin. so do i. not paper, paper and card is separate. so when you do it, you kind of feel good about yourself. you think that you're helping to save the planet. well, this kind of bursts that
10:54 pm
particular self—righteous bubble. it shows most of it, sorry li% of it, a decent chunk. this is a bit of a daily mail headline, this. because actually if you read the small print, it's only 4% of recycling. but it had gone up from 1. 7% in 2011. so the trend... yes, but this is giving the impression that it's a waste of time to recycle because it's being thrown away or burned. that's not the case. what i would like is them to bring back the bottle return system, where you could take them back and get your 5p. remember that, and blue bottles asa 5p. remember that, and blue bottles as a kid for 10p. you supplement your sweet money. you didn't realise your sweet money. you didn't realise you were recycling. you didn't. your pocket money. flesh it out for penny sweets, if such things still exist, i have no idea. let's finish with the guardian, woman has baby, on the front page. she's making light of it
10:55 pm
too. this is the prime minister of new zealand. she's going to take six weeks off while she has this baby in june she says and then get back to work. it's obviously a brilliant good news story for equality of the sexes, because itjust, it further allows us to treat pregnancy, having children as a normal part of life and something that even prime ministers do. it hasn't happened for a long timement no, it hasn't. we had a slight experience of it with tony blair. he didn't have a baby. it was benazir bhutto. there was tony blair and gordon brown. but they weren't giving birth and coming back six weeks later. it's not the long time to be off work. baby has
10:56 pm
two parents, who's going to step in? the husband. the daddy, clark. good for him. why not. he's going to be the first man of fishing and a stay at home dad. i think you might have to rethink that clark, i don't know how much fishing you'll be getting done. baby in a papouse. little more time consuming that people perhaps realise. that's all for the papers tonight. are we done? yes, don't forget you can see the front pages online on the website. it's there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on the eeg player. kevin, john, nice to see you. i'm going to go and talk to the lawyer about my transgression. coming up next, it's the weather. ? hello, it's been another difficult day for travelling, particularly to
10:57 pm
western and southern parts of scotland, where we've seen the heaviest snow showers today. the view from lab ark earlier. northern ireland, northern england have had wintry showers around. they're slowly easing as we go on through the night. still some affecting western most parts of scotland. a widespread frost, severe where you have snow cover. of course, icy where you've had the showers. notice this area of wet weather pushing into the south—west of britain later in the night. a little less cold here. this is advancing further north into saturday morning. should just reach into southern most parts of northern ireland. dry, brighter further north you are. fewer showers in scotland. still towards the far north and west there will be some of rain, sleet, hail, some snow further inland, especially with elevation. far north of england should stay largely fine, but then we're back into this zone of cloudy, damp weather. not just rain. into this zone of cloudy, damp weather. notjust rain. don't be surprised if you get sleet, perhaps wet snow associated with that as well. may feed into the peak district into the pennines. a bit of
10:58 pm
uncertainty about the northern extent of that. notice how really it doesn't move very much throughout the day. if you're stuck underneath this, it will feel decidedly cold and raw. the far south—west of england, though, coming out of that, brightening up a bit and seeing temperatures heading up into double figures, whereas elsewhere, struggling again, but some sunny spells in scotland. more of us dry here and into the far north of england. the frost taking over on saturday night for many of us. icy again too. then another weather system for sunday. this is the leading edge of milder air. it comes with some wet weather, though. feeding into the cold air in place and we will see more snow for a time across parts of scotland and northern england. that could cause travel problems. so keep a close eye on the forecast as it develops if you are travelling on sunday. it is scotla nd you are travelling on sunday. it is scotland and northern england likely to see a spell of snow. there's uncertainty but how far south that will be. milder air is starting to
10:59 pm
push into the south—west. 11 degrees in belfast. that is a sign of things to come as we go into next week. finally getting rid of the cold air and fora time finally getting rid of the cold air and for a time next week, temperatures will be much milder. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00: ministers say the government won't be seeking a judicial review of a ruling to release the serial sex offenderjohn worboys. scientists say they're a step closer to one of the biggest goals in medicine — a single blood test for all types of cancer. on the eve of his first year in office, president trump hold talks with democrats in a bid to avert a us government shutdown. and newsnight as the fourth rape
