about a ‘dreadful mistake' he made in his personal life — where he had a brief office romance with a fellow worker back in 200a. he said having to explain to his wife what had happened was one of the most difficult things he had ever done. kevin williams is touted asa ever done. kevin williams is touted as a potential future leader. our economics editor kamal ahmed has been following this from davos where the president is. it comes as mr trump is set to set up it comes as mr trump is set to set up what his america first stance means for global trade when he addresses the world economic forum in davos later. speaking to itv‘s good morning britain the president said he knew nothing about the group before cheryl miss biddy is. he had been criticised by theresa may for his actions. asked to apologise over the tweet he said he believes in the fight against islamist terror.m was done because i am a big believer in fighting radical islamic terror. this was a depiction of radical

islamic terror. these were unverified pictures, at least one of them. i didn't do it, i didn't go out, i did a retweet. it was a big story where you are but not a big story where you are but not a big story where you are but not a big story where i am so you're telling me something. i want people in britain to get to the real you. the real me is somebody who loves britain, loves the uk, i love scotland. one of the biggest problems i have in winning is i won't be able to get back there so often. i would love to go there. as you know, before this happened, i would be there a lot. very special people and a very special place. i don't want to cause any difficulty for your country, that i can tell you. can i get an apology out of you for the retweets? i think it would goa for the retweets? i think it would go a long way. here is what's fair, if you are telling me these are horrible people, horrible, racist people, i would certainly apologise if you would like me to. i know nothing about them. you would

disavow yourself of people like that? i don't want to be involved with people... you're telling me about these people because i know nothing about them. donald trump speaking in davos which is where our economics editor, ahmed is. it is a big day for everybody because donald trump is going to address everyone. absolutely. this is the first serving us president to come to the world economic forum since bill clinton in 2000. there is a high degree of fascination with the arrival of mr trump. of course, for many people here they have never seen many people here they have never seen the president in the flesh, just heard what he has said on his twitter feed, or on just heard what he has said on his twitterfeed, or on media interviews. the big question is going to be, is he going to be conciliatory? he's going to talk about america first and invest in america but what about the issues of protectionism, the tariff barriers he has put on things like washing machines and solar panels? most people here expect, and interestingly in the interview with piers morgan, it was a slightly more conciliatory approach, a slightly

softer tone from him because the mood here actually is pretty optimistic, not just about america and the reforms there that have boosted the economy but all of the economies around the world which are starting to really motor for the first time since the financial crisis. it will be fascinating to see what he will say. the big thing, though, is he has actually come here. this is the heart of the global elites, the type of people people thought president trump was against. it just shows, people thought president trump was against. itjust shows, i think, victoria, there is lots of rhetoric and lots of anger, but when it comes to the economy there are some brutal truths. you need to trade with each other for global prosperity to create jobs, and i other for global prosperity to createjobs, and i think donald trump pretty much understands that. thank you, kamal ahmed, trump pretty much understands that. thank you, kamalahmed, live trump pretty much understands that. thank you, kamal ahmed, live from davos, and more and donald trump's speech as he delivers it to all of the global elite, as we are calling them, later on bbc news. here is the rest of the morning's news with anita. several of the bbc‘s leading male

news presenters and journalists have agreed to take salary cuts, following revelations about gender pay inequality at the corporation. the move comes after carrie gracie resigned as the bbc‘s china editor, saying men and women doing similar jobs were not paid the same. an independent report on the issue is due to be published next week, as our media editor, amol rajan, reports. hey, chris. how do you feel about bbc talent salaries being published? the publication last year of the pay for the bbc‘s on—air talent earning over £150,000 prompted a huge outcry, both because the top of the list was dominated by men, and because many men appeared to be getting more money for doing the same job as women, though individual circumstances varied hugely. earlier this month, carrie gracie resigned her post as china editor in protest, saying she would return to london. now, her colleagues, jon sopel, john humphrys, hugh edwards, and jeremy vine, have all agreed either

formally or in principle to have their salaries reduced. ms gracie is due to appear before a select committee of mps next wednesday shortly before the director—general, his deputy, and the director of news and current affairs also appear. whereas competition in the entertainment industry has intensified, the opposite has happened in news. many of those now taking paycuts secured generous deals years ago. that world has disappeared, and these presenters now accept that a chunk of their salaries will have to disappear with it. amol rajan, bbc news. downing street has distanced itself from comments made by the chancellor, philip hammond, after he said any future change to the uk's relations with the eu could be "very modest". his remarks — during a speech at the world economic forum — were seized upon by tory leave campaigners, and criticised by a number of cabinet ministers. today, the brexit secretary, david davis, will give details of the government's plans for the transition phase after the uk leaves the eu next year. the labour peer, lord mendelsohn, has been sacked from his party's front bench for attending the controversial presidents club

charity fundraising event, where women working as hostesses were reportedly groped. a labour spokesman said there could be no excuse for anyone's attendance, and jeremy corbyn had asked him to step down. lord mendelsohn said he went to the event as president of a charity that received support from it, but did not witness any of the alleged incidents, which he condemned as "appalling". a fire at a hospital in south korea has killed more than a0 people. the blaze is reported to have continued for several hours after breaking out in the emergency room of the building in the southern city of milyang. last month, 29 people died in a fire at a fitness centre south korea. the defence secretary has accused russia of spying on britain's energy networks, which he said could lead to chaos in the country if supplies were hit. gavin williamson told the daily telegraph that crippling the uk's infrastructure might cause "thousands of deaths". mr williamson said russia was the biggest threat facing the country at the moment.

the nhs medicines watchdog has issued new guidelines on how best to treat sore throats in order to cut the use of antibiotics. the guidelines from the national institute for health and care excellence, nice, says most sore throats can be treated with paracetamol. the rac says it has seen a "concerning rise" in the number of drivers breaking down after hitting potholes. the organisation said there had been an 11% increase in call—outs caused by poor quality roads in the last three months of 2017. the government says it's spending billions on improving road journeys. perhaps we should say cars breaking down rather than drivers. violent scenes broke out across france yesterday — but the cause is not what you might expect. a french supermarket chain started offering a 70% discount on nutella, bringing the price down

tojust1.40 euros. in one shop, the police had to be called when people began fighting over the offer. all the stock had gone in 15 minutes — one customer left with a black eye. probably more than they bargained for. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30am. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victorialive. and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. a couple of comments about the bbc male presenters who have agreed formally or in visible to take a pay cut including jeremy vine and huw edwards. loston on twitter colon fair enough of them but i will not approve of increases for any other people love fight says: this gender stuff is all one—sided, although they didn't say stuff, they used a more rude word. more and more companies seem to be making women ceos, not because they are any good but to take ridiculous box. j

ceos, not because they are any good but to take ridiculous box.j hind is says: chouly women's wages need to go up, valued thejob at is says: chouly women's wages need to go up, valued the job at the level it deserves. and helena says: surely that wasn't the point, the men taking less. it was about your employer the bbc paying you equally for doing the same work. send me a message. facebook and whatsapp. let's get some sport now with hugh — and it wasn't to be for kyle edmund which we talked about yesterday, but roger federerfans which we talked about yesterday, but roger federer fans will be most people's favourite now and he on court at the moment at the australian open. a bit like wimbledon, when the british hopes are out we turn our hopes to roger. the incredible run for kyle edmund is over but didn't he do himself justice. we almost forgot andy murray wasn't there. edmund was beaten by marin cilic after making the semifinals but will move into the semifinals but will move into the world's top 30 players so he could be seeded come wimbledon this summer could be seeded come wimbledon this summerand could be seeded come wimbledon this summer and will also overtake murray who is out injured at the moment as the british number one, but the man

all players at the moment are aiming to overtake, to stall the great roger federer, facing another man who surprised everyone at the australian open, 21—year—old hyung chung from south korea, federer is defending his title, and 19 grand slam is, it has not taken long to ta ke slam is, it has not taken long to take control of the match. five—time winner in australia, he won the first set 6—1 and already leads 1—0 in the second, so it could be a long, or maybe a pretty short day for hyung chung in the australian open. cricket and a pretty amazing start to england's latest match, tell us more. amazing for the australians, u nfortu nately. amazing for the australians, unfortunately. england going pretty well in their one—day series, they have already won, leading 3—0 going into the fourth match but couldn't have had a worse start, there were put into bat and lost their first five wickets for just put into bat and lost their first five wickets forjust eight runs, although they managed to post a respectable score in the end of 196 all out, helped mainly by chris

woa kes all out, helped mainly by chris woakes but as you would expect australia well on the way to chasing things down easily in reply. they are 120—4 in adelaide. maybe it's not the win england and their captain eoin morgan would have hoped for today. we will keep you updated on that throughout the morning. and fa cup time, yeovil hoping that there will be an incredible upset against manchester united tonight. another big night for yeovil town and the fa cup, they hosted man united a couple of years ago but the stars again will be going to hewitt park, the league 2 side, the lowest tea m park, the league 2 side, the lowest team left in the competition. after united signed alexis sanchez earlier in the week yeovil tweeted it and in only right he starts his career with the biggest club in the world at what is maybe the biggest away changing room in league 2. tongue in cheek from them, could be a tight squeeze forjose mourinho and his players but it is a poignant evening for yeovil mourinho's opposite

number, darrell wade, because he's lucky to have survived a car crash in nine years ago which left him unable to walk. he has had 29 operations to aid his recovery and he spoken to football focus's mark clemmit. i've been at a stage where it was life or death so i know what that feels like. it has helped me deal with football management and made me more resilient and more determined, and i wake up with a willpower to succeed. did you think you were going to die? yes, scary feeling, that's for sure. i was at the lowest point in my life and sir alex brought man united to play at my testimonial, so i'm appreciative of what man united has done. now to be manager and against all odds to get into this position is what dreams are made of. it would be a huge win for them and you can see how it pans out on match of the day live on bbc one from 7:30pm. thank you. more throughout the morning, of course. bradley lowery was just six—years—old when he died

of neuroblastoma last summer. before his death, the little boy who supported sunderland, struck up a friendship with one of the club's star players, jermain defoe. their bond was so strong that the pair called each other "best friends." next month, bradley's mother, gemma, withjermain next month, bradley's mother, gemma, with jermain defoe's next month, bradley's mother, gemma, withjermain defoe's help, will launch the bradley lowery foundation. in a moment i'll be speaking to bradley's mum gemma and jermain defoe, but first let's remind ourselves of the inspirational little boy who touched the nations hearts. commentator: applause for the boy who has captured the hearts of the entire nation, the bravest smile you will ever see. there is only one bradley lowery. bradley was diagnosed with stage for high risk neuroblastoma at the age of 18 months, this is a childhood cancer. very gruelling awful

chemotherapy, which was so difficult. i think people were ca ptu red difficult. i think people were captured by his story because he smiled, he had a personality. his smiled, he had a personality. his smile was his thing, everybody knew bradley for his smile. bradley was born into a family that love sunderland, i've got a photo of him wearing the sunderland strip every year. he loved them and he loved jermain. remember sitting in the changing room, and this little kid was calling my name, then he saw me and he ran over, it was probably that instant connection. that connection was, well, i have never seen a connection connection was, well, i have never seen a connection like that. the love was genuine, i saw the way he

looked at me, i could see it in his eyes, when he was with me, i could see that he was happy. to hear your child's name get some... as a parent, that is the most amazing, overwhelming thing i have ever and will ever experienced. guess who will ever experienced. guess who will be at the england match next week? jermain defoe! all wanted to do was be there for him, see him as much as possible. he came to the house, he came to the hospital, he did everything in his power to make bradley feel better. he was so loving, even little things, giving him cuddles and stuff like that, and when he is cuddling me, he would pack my bag. all these memories, i will never forget them. brad was a lwa ys will never forget them. brad was always brave, always full of life. until the last moment, he raised so much awareness for childhood cancer.

talk about having a best friend, someone you love and trust, yeah, it was a real friendship. someone you love and trust, yeah, it was a real friendshiplj someone you love and trust, yeah, it was a realfriendship. i was someone you love and trust, yeah, it was a real friendship. i was proud of him as a person, and how he dealt with everything, how he put others first before himself. i was proud of my first before himself. i was proud of b. earlier i spoke to bradley's mum gemma and to jermaine earlier i spoke to bradley's mum gemma and tojermaine defoe. thank you for speaking with us, gemma, first of all, tell the audience how you and your family first of all, tell the audience how you and yourfamily are doing? first of all, tell the audience how you and your family are doing? we have bad days but we have good days as well. i have to live it every single day with the charity. sometimes that is a lot for me to deal with, when i am in bed at night, but through the day, i look at it like helping the children, and

bradley was put on the earth to do a job and! bradley was put on the earth to do a job and i need to continue that. jermain defoe, if i can ask you the same question, how are you doing? not too bad, i still spend time with gemma and carl, which is important, they come to the house. they come to they come to the house. they come to the house and spend some time and that probably helps. you get mixed days. some days, i have loads of great memories of brads in my head, and everywhere i go, people still come to meet and speak about bradley. of course it is still fresh. because the interest that brad has created, and maybe that was his calling, to raise that awareness. that will help the families and the other children. has working on the official launch of the bradley lowery foundation

enabled you in anyway to help with the grief you are experiencing?” think the whole thing of the bradley lowery foundation has helped me to deal with the grief, because i get to help other children and that helps us a lot. i get a lot of support, amazing support. a lot of people lose loved ones and they do not get the support i have had. so i am very grateful and honoured that i am very grateful and honoured that i am still getting that support and people are still getting behind us. it definitely helps with the grief. i know that you and your husband and your boy, kieran, went away for christmas, wherever you were, would have been immensely difficult. yes, we made the decision to go away because i could not bear waking up on christmas morning... take your time. we decided to go away, it was a hard time. but we got through it,

it was another day, and another occasion, that we managed to get through. we thought, tomorrow is a new day, let's go, let's continue his legacy and let's help other children. when you think about bradley, you talked about many special memories you had, when you talk about him, what comes into your mind? the first thing that comes into my mind was the first time i met brads at sunderland, when he ran over to me met brads at sunderland, when he ran overto me in met brads at sunderland, when he ran over to me in the changing rooms. he was not like any of the other children, they were quite reluctant to come up to the players, they were shy. but he ran over to me, burst across the changing rooms, he jumped on my lap and stuff like that, that is the first time i met him, and after that, it was really special. almost like a normal thing after

that, every game, he would walk out with me, a special moment, when i got back into the england squad and he will out with me at wembley, that was a really special moment. it's nice, i still have loads of pictures, really nice to look at, all good memories. i have read that you said, the first time he saw you, it was the way that he looks at you, what did you mean? yeah, i don't know... i'm asked that question all the time, it is hard to explain, but it is the way that he looked at me...| it is the way that he looked at me... i knew in that moment that he was really happy, because i did not really understand, too much, about the cancer, at the time. i knew that he was a sunderland fan and i was his favourite player and stuff like that, but, i mean, it is stuff that i have done before but that moment was completely different to any other experience i have had before with any other child. the way that

he looked at me and like i said, he jumped on my lap, there was an instant connection, really special. the foundation launches officially asi the foundation launches officially as i said last —— next month with a fundraising gala, part of your son ‘s legacy, what do you hope you will be able to do for other sick children with the money raised? hopefully we are going to support otherfamilies hopefully we are going to support other families and their fundraising campaigns, his fundraising campaign was extreme is successful, we had support from the nation and beyond andi support from the nation and beyond and i would like the nation to get beyond these other children as well. in regards to the fundraising campaign, we must support families emotionally, during events, using social media, anything that comes with the fundraising aspect of it, we will be there and we want the personal touch, we want to meet the families, spend time with them. we

will also be giving grants out to these families. the foundation started with a decent amount of money because of bradley, and we wa nt to money because of bradley, and we want to give that back to the children. we have a campaign going also, this is to build a holiday home for the sick children to be able to go and enjoy some holidays, because when you are stuck in hospital a lot of the time, your family is split apart, you don't get to see your husband or your other children and it is really nice to be able to come away from that and go away and have some special bonding time and make special memories. it is all i've got left now. i was extremely lucky to have amazing memories with bradley and i want to be able to give that to other families. i want to ask you about one particular teenage boy, 15, alfie, he has had neuroblastoma, which is what bradley had, since he was three, it keeps coming back. he's tried to get access to a particular antibody tribute which

would potentially stimulate his own immune cells, to attack the cancer. but, it is very difficult for patients in the uk to get this u nless patients in the uk to get this unless it is done privately. is that the kind of thing you want to focus upon? this antibody is crucial for children with neuroblastoma, and a lot of children have been lucky, but u nfortu nately lot of children have been lucky, but unfortunately there is no trials planned for this, and so if children want this antibody, then they will have to put in individualfunding request into nhs england, orfund raise for the treatment themselves. however, putting an individual funding request into nhs england is going to become difficult when there are so many going to become difficult when there are so many children needing this treatment. the drug we are talking about is under review, with an ich, and hopefully they will pass it and the nhs will provide this drug. —— with nice.

with this drug they have a 20% less chance of relapse, there is an 80% chance of relapse, there is an 80% chance of relapse with neuroblastoma, everybody knows that after bradley. imagine having a child going through horrendous treatment on a daily basis, to then have the fear of that coming back and having to start again. so many families around the world have to deal with this, the last thing they need is to worry about fundraising for a need is to worry about fundraising fora drug. need is to worry about fundraising for a drug. also, with neuroblastoma, particularly, there isa neuroblastoma, particularly, there is a vaccine trial in new york and a lot of families are fundraising to get to new york for this trial. that is not going to come out in the uk, for a very long time. if we can get the antibody in the uk and then get them to america for the vaccine trial, to prevent the relapse coming back, then the families are not going to have the stress and the heartache of having to go out, day in day out, to fundraiser for the

money to get their child, to save their child. no child is life should have a price tag on them. how important was it for you and your family to see bradley's blossoming friendship withjermain family to see bradley's blossoming friendship with jermain defoe? family to see bradley's blossoming friendship with jermain defoe ?m was amazing, honestly, you cannot describe it. tell him, i know that he cannot see you but you can see him. it was amazing, the friendship that you had, it was absolutely... you've seen nothing like it. obviously, i posted a lot on social media but there was so much went on behind the scenes, that people did not see. you came to the house, and, you know, the bond they had was incredible. and you have to think, bradley was from a completely different culture, totally different pa rt different culture, totally different part of the country, server those two people to have that bond, even though they were so different, that is fantastic. it was special, it was. how important to you was it

that bradley wanted to be your friend? yeah, it was really important, a real special feeling. something completely different to what i have ever experienced before. at first it was just like the usual stuff that happens at football clubs, players will out with mascots. but completely different. away from football, spending time with bradley's family, that was nice, and like gemma said, loads of times where behind—the—scenes, so much went on. sad times, but as well, good memories, some of the stuff that went on that was really nice, going to the house. little cuddle, laying in bed with him, that, for me, great memories. real special feeling. i still think about these things every day. it was nice. how much difference do you think this young footballer made to your

young son's life? huge difference, huge difference, if people saw how bradley we acted whenjermain came to the home, to the hospital, he made the last few months of his life just special, because jermain was his hero, and i remember, late stages, bradley was in bed, just waiting for him to pass over, and jermain came over, and bradley had not moved all day, had laid around and cuddles, we sat and talked all day. at this point he was not talking, i was talking to him. jermain came to my home, late, because he had been on holiday, he had come up to see bradley once he got back. he came and heard his voice and he heard his voice because he was talking to my dad, and he sat i he was talking to my dad, and he sat up! could not believe it, and i

thought, he has not moved all day. as soon as he heard his voice, he sat up. that is when he had no energy left, he was so tired, ready to go to sleep. and he made the effo rts to go to sleep. and he made the efforts to set up whenjermain came into the house. yourfamilies are your families are clearly good friends, clear to see from this conversation, but friends for life, i guess? of course, like i mentioned before, she comes to the house and carl, they come to the house and watch a game, and at the weekend we will do normal stuff, go for dinner and stuff like that. it's crazy because even if they come to the house and we go out for a drive people come up to carl on the streets and shake his hand and stuff like that. it's amazing the awareness and support from the nation, like nothing you've ever seen nation, like nothing you've ever seen before. this little brad,

everyone loved him, his character, that little smile, it was really special. but i mean, yeah, friends for life, it's important for us, me and my family, my girlfriend rachel, to give that family the support, because around because as period that was really difficult for the family. you can imagine. for us to give them that support was really important. how would you describe what kind of a woman, what kind of a man gemma is? so strong. to sort of like go through something like that, you know, you can't even find words to describe how it must be. but to sort of like the strong for the rest of her family, sort of like the strong for the rest of herfamily, and sort of like the strong for the rest of her family, and even, sort of like the strong for the rest of herfamily, and even, you sort of like the strong for the rest of her family, and even, you know, being on different shows and having to talk about it day in and day out, doing the charity stuff, giving

back, i mean, that's a special person. it's been so hard for gemma but to still be strong like that, hats off to her, a real special character, and you can see where bradley got it from. how would you describejermain bradley got it from. how would you describe jermain defoe? he's more than a footballer. a lot of people just seejermain than a footballer. a lot of people just see jermain defoe than a footballer. a lot of people just seejermain defoe is a good footballer but he has a lot more about him than that, and a very special friend for life. thank you both. thank you, jermain and gemma, thank you so much. thank you. if you wa nt to thank you so much. thank you. if you want to find out more about the foundation it's the bradley lowery foundation. we have breaking news about the uk economy and it grew by 0.5% in the last quarter of 2017, that's just in from the office for

schoolboy. he said he stayed overnight at barry bennell‘s house during school holidays. it was there he says he was abused on three separate occasions. he also told the court that since then other young crewe players also said they may have been abused. he told the jury: "i feel guilty because i never said anything — if i had said something maybe that could have been stopped." he said he decided to go to the police in late 2016 after seeing media coverage alleged abused by mr bennell. what happened under cross examination? earlier it emerged that police asked him about abuse in the 19905 and back then he denied being abused. he said, he told the court, that was because back then he just wa nted that was because back then he just wanted to, in his words, forget all about it. the defending counsel, eleanor laws qc, asked him, i suggest to you you rather got swept

up suggest to you you rather got swept up in these allegations and what you said barry bennell did to you is not the truth. he replies i totally disagree. barry bennell denies 48 cou nts disagree. barry bennell denies 48 counts of historic abuse in this case and the trial continues on monday next week. donald trump is making headlines this morning both home and abroad. he sat down with piers morgan where he said he would be prepared to apologise for a retweeti ng be prepared to apologise for a retweeting videos from the far right group britain first. in the interview for itv‘s good morning britain the president describes why he did it. it was done because i am a big believer in fighting radical islamic terror. this was a depiction of radical islamic terror. but they were unverified videos. at least one of them was not what it seemed. they are, but this was... i didn't do it, i didn't go out. i did a retweet. it was a big story where you are, but it was not a big story where i am. i get that. so you're telling me something like... this is airing in britain, and i want them to get to the real you.

well, i'll tell you, the real me is somebody that loves britain, loves the uk, loves... i love scotland. i wish, you know... one of the biggest problems i have in winning, i won't be able to get back there so often. i would love to go there. as you know, before this happened, i would be there a lot. very special people, and a very special place. so, i don't want to cause any difficulty for your country, that i can tell you. can i get an apology out of you just for the retweets? well, if you're telling me... i think it would go a long way. then here's what's fair. if you're telling me that horrible people, horrible, racist people, horrible... i would certainly apologise if you'd like me to do that. i know nothing about them. and you would disavow yourself of people like that? i don't want to be involved with people like that, but you're telling me about these people, because i know nothing about these people. that interview was recorded in davos. today mr trump will be the first us president to speak at the world economic forum at davos since

bill clinton 18 years ago. what should we expect? let's talk more about this with political author and lecturer brian klass, the economist magazine's anne mcelvoy who is in davos this morning, and nyall strange, white house columnist at us political newspaper. what you expect from donald trump and why is he there? in so many ways the liberal elites, the international business class in davos stands for a lot of things... broadcast interrupted by interference. keen on open borders, free trade, anti—protectionist. donald trump feels the american economy has had a big uptick so he feels he can claim for that, whether it stirringly to do with him or otherfactors, and also... broadcast interrupted by

interference. gave a speech that people liked a lot and said it would be nice that if the american president would speak so confidently about global trade. he didn't want to be outdone. i think people are expecting some sort of attack on trade policy with china, perhaps even quite stiff tariffs... would be a big story in terms of america's trade with china and the knock on. we will hear a bit of soft trumpism, you heard with piers morgan he's not retreating from all of his positions but he is saying sorry for some of the less wise and more provocative gestures that he's made. i think we will get a mixture of soft trump and hard trump. i wonder what you think of the significance of mr trump addressing the global elite in davos, nyall strange. it's clearly a big break from the way he campaigned

and the way he has conducted his presidency so far. donald trump positioned himself as the voice of forgotten men and women. for him to be at davos seems incongruous with that. to pick up on what your last guest was saying, this has very much been betrayed by the administration as an opportunity for the president to talk about america being open for business, a phrase they have repeated frequently, and also just basically suggest he is someone who is willing to engage of the world, albeit on terms that he would see as more favourable to the united states. can i ask about the meeting donald trump and with theresa may, brian klass? the idea that theresa may likes him personally and the idea there will be lots more trade with great britain once we get this deal sorted after brexit. this is one of those throwaway lines trump

says that is a blip in the american media and in britain it is a big symbolic gesture fixated on by the british public. i don't think there is anybody in trump's base pushing for more trade with britain. in fa ct, for more trade with britain. in fact, a lot of people in trump's base our isolationists and it's the antithesis to what donald trump is supposed to represent. but he does know that global trade leads to posterity. yes but he's been railing against the terms of global trade for decades. used to be about japan in the 80s if you look at old trump tapes, now it's about mexico and china. taking the word of trump as saying he will get a trade deal done isa saying he will get a trade deal done is a poor strategy because for one thing the terms of the trade deal will be very complicated, it will only happen after the departure from the eu and trump makes a lot of throwaway promises that don't come to fruition. i think basing strategic policy in trade on trump's word and a quick interview where he

says i have a good relationship is reading into trumpism far too much, is not the top of his agenda to have aus is not the top of his agenda to have a us trade deal with the uk. would you agree with that?” a us trade deal with the uk. would you agree with that? i don't really agree with that, but i agree not to base strategy on it but trade policy for the administration... broadcast interrupted by interference. if we get something of a... back from trade with china and the people around donald trump can bend his ear on this and they would be quite keen to have anglo sphere trade, trade with the english—speaking world. britain fits neatly into that. it is true trump makes remarks that don't come to anything but he likes to be seen come to anything but he likes to be seen well amongst the business elite, coming to davos sitting on a

stage alongside theresa may and he said he would like to do a trade deal... broadcast interrupted by interference. had to keep a straight face too. but i think there is milage for donald trump as well as the uk in doing this. don't underestimate how hard uk trade negotiators are working to try and bring this home. they have spent a lot of time with the trump team. it certainly doesn't replace eu trade, i'm not suggesting that at all. but i do think it is a possible realistic outcome. is it possible that donald trump might not be the us president by the time this us uk trade deal is signed? sure, these things are fairly complicated instruments to try to come to an agreement on, the united kingdom, as i understand it, cannot start formal negotiations until it formally leaves the european union, so surely donald trump is suffering some of the

lowest approval ratings of any first—term president at this point, he won the election in the first place by a very narrow margin, three crucial states tilted the balance. it is absolutely conceivable that maybe somebody else will be in charge by the time this comes to fruition, if it does come to fruition. thank you very much for your time. we will bring the latest news and sport and a big weather forecast did before 10am, because it is the weekend, effectively. sophie hahn is a paralympic champion and five—time world champion. she has cerebral palsy, a condition caused by problems with the brain before, during orjust after birth, and it affects movement and co—ordination. in october at a parliamentary hearing into paralympic

classification, the father of one her team—mates claimed she was benefiting from competing in the wrong category. but now in her first interview since then she's told our reporter kate grey that she felt angry and that the claims were heart—breaking. hi, hello. who've we got here, then? sophie hahn is normally a private person. hi. hello. but after being named in a row over classification in paralympic sport, she's invited me to herfamily home to give her side of the story. it's just very heartbreaking for me, and doesn't do the sport any good. we want to inspire people, we want people with disability to come and try it out. in october, while giving evidence to a committee of mps, michael breen, the father of olivia breen, who competes in the same category as sophie, appeared to call into question sophie's classification. miss hahn didn't have cerebral palsy, but she had learning difficulties,

but she ended up with a cerebral palsy classification. claiming she has an unfair advantage over other competitors by having less of an impairment. i was very angry and upset. i never imagined seeing my face all over the internet, the newspaper, the tv. ithink, me, ijust work unbelievably hard. i put in the hours of training on the track. it was interesting, we were told we would never go to a sports day. sophie is a twin and following a complicated birth was diagnosed with brain damage, which affected her growth and development as a child. over the first two to three years, she couldn't sit, couldn't walk till she was three. she couldn't stand till she was two. she spent most of her life in the children's centre. in the four years she's been competing, the family have felt her achievements have been undermined by behind—the—scenes accusations that sophie is in the wrong category. no two athletes are the same, so there will be groups.

we've questioned whether or not we should carry on. and so has sophie, to be honest. there are times when sophie just says, that's it. it's not worth it. in the next few months, sophie will have to go through the classification process again, along with many other athletes, in accordance with the changes made by the paralympic committee. but for now, she's fully focused on her training ahead of competing in the commonwealth games for the first time. if i could add the commonwealth title, then i would have had all the titles up to 21, and just keep going and keep striving, and keep getting better, really. and that's how sophie wants to be remembered, for her success on the track rather than what goes on off it. auschwitz is a place that saw the

extermination of 1 auschwitz is a place that saw the extermination of1 million of the 6 millionjoule is people who extermination of1 million of the 6 million joule is people who were murdered during the holocaust. around 11 million people were systematically killed in total, including not onlyjoule is people by gypsy families, gay people, people with disabilities and political prisoners. we are going to speak now with susan pollack, a witness to the very worst of humanity, she survived auschwitz by being sent to work as a slave labourer, 50 members of herfamily lost their lives during the holocaust. good morning, thank you for talking to us. who is it that you think about on holocaust memorial day? i think about my family, i think about my mother, i think about my father, i think about my community. and i think about all the joule is people my community. and i think about all thejoule is people —— all the jewish people during that time. this discrimination before, the entire

picture is very vivid in my mind. why is it significant to continue to mark this day? it is absolutely essential that we do not, god forbid, repeated, not only repeat it in the same terrible way, not only againstjewish but against any others, any other groups of people, innocent groups of people. when the second world war broke out, in your hometown, back in hungary, anti—semitism was becoming more visible, more pronounced, but in what kind of ways? anti-semitism, u nfortu nately, what kind of ways? anti-semitism, unfortunately, in hungary, in that little village where i live, not far from budapest, was always noticeable. in certain ways, such as around easter time, we had to close our windows, shutters put up, because we were accused of

committing terrible crimes. but we could live with it. you could live with the graffiti on the walls, you could live with being beaten up at a boy scouts event? that's right, that's right, and the many many legislations against us, depriving us of our social life, of our political lives, and our livelihoods. and when the nazis invaded, march, 19114, it meant people like yourself and your family had to wear the star of david, so that you could be identified. and i remember that quite clearly, particularly, travelling on public transport, which was the trains, everywhere, and many of thejewish stu d e nts everywhere, and many of thejewish students and children had been arrested, long before the germans

actually occupied... the occupation was not that powerful because it was the end of the war, the russians we re the end of the war, the russians were at the border. liberating. the allied forces had already come long before, long before taken a position in europe. and yet your father was taken away. what happened to him?- father was taken away on a trick, some sort of trickery. some sort of trickery information that we would be resettled somewhere else, that the conditions... they were so appalling... we had no idea what that meant. so in my little village, all the men had been called up,

discussing it, but it was not a discussion, it was a brutal attack, against my father and otherjewish men. and then you and your mother, ultimately, and your brother, were taken to various camps, and ended up at auschwitz, what happens to your mother there? my mother, she was in her 405, very worn, fatigued, after such a long, long... what shall i say... just coping, with these difficulties. she was gassed on arrival. i did not know it at the time, but she was selected immediately, only by her looks, they did not consider her to be possible to be used as a slave labourer. i

was reasonably tall for that age. when the german came, and asked, "wie alt bist du?" and i lied, and somebody, speaking hungarian to me, they said, don't say that you are younger than 15 years old, and so i lied. is that how you survived auschwitz? that is howl survived, and also the fact that the meagre food, the nonexistent food, it had not taken its toll on my body, yet. what can you recall, we have many young people watching, who will be aware of the horrors of auschwitz, but tell them a little about the conditions there? auschwitz was a place of terror, of extreme, extreme aggression, fear, the beginning of

dehumanisation. you couldn't think. there was no food to support our physical being. and there was no opportunity to ask questions. language disappeared between us. so we lived in that fear, and incomprehension. where are we? is this the world? we were used to a loving home life. what has happened? what has happened? to this day, i look back and think, the depth of inhumanity that a civilised world, a civilised country, could create, and support... why? that is what occurs to you, when you reflect on what you and yourfamily to you, when you reflect on what you and your family were put through? how could anyone do that? how could anybody do that, how could those thousands, working in auschwitz,

knowing what was going on, everybody knew full well, and yet they did theirjobs in such an aggressive way. as we were standing, being counted, four hours. —— for hours. i was selected many times by dr mengele, a man apparently with various ph.d. s to his name, he was watching us. marching in front of him, stark naked. and we knew what it was about. so we pinched our cheeks, we held ourselves straight, we tried to pass by quickly. there was no fear in me anymore. i was selected for slave labour and send

to a big german industrial town. finally, susan, many survivors go into schools to talk to pupils about some of the things you have talked to us about today. and that is so that they will learn about it and we will never forget. exactly. we are grateful, i am eternally grateful for that opportunity that the british government supports. yes, we 90, british government supports. yes, we go, we speak to schools, many of them are funded to go out to auschwitz and seeing it is more important than reading about it. the few of us left speak about what took place only yesterday. in europe.

thank you for talking to us this morning. thank you. thank you. injusta injust a moment, the latest in just a moment, the latest news and sport, but first, the weather forecast. pretty lively weather so far this week but at the end of the working week but at the end of the working week we have something just that little bit quieter, from the satellite imagery you can see, the uk in there, clearer weather, out in the west, weather front moving to the west, weather front moving to the weekend, that is out towards the west, for many of us, some sunshine, beautiful start to the day in suffolk, south yorkshire, between the trees, some sunny spells breaking through. this morning we still have one or two showers around but going to the afternoon, most of us, all of us, dry and there will be some sunny us, all of us, dry and there will be some sunny spells. spells across southern areas, bit of cloud across england and wales, thinning and breaking up, by this afternoon, we
