mr trump said he would lift — for three years — a threat to deport almost a million immigrants. these include young undocumented migrants known as ‘dreamers‘. but in exchange, he demanded billions of dollars for a security wall on the border with mexico. david willis reports from washington. please raise your right hand and repeat after me... welcoming new citizens into the country, president trump hosted a naturalisation ceremony at the white house before outlining his plans to keep certain people out of the united states. all right. well, it's my privilege now to be the first to call you my fellow americans. applause. from the diplomatic reception room of the white house came a distinctly undiplomatic message — america's immigration system is badly broken. i am here today to break the logjam and provide congress with a path forward to end the government

shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border. as a candidate for president, i promised i would fix this crisis, and i intend to keep that promise one way or the other. our immigration system should be the subject of pride, not a source of shame, as it is all over the world. our immigration system should be the envy of the world, not a symbol of disunity and dysfunction. amongst a package of measures that he knew would prove irresistible to many democrats was an offer of temporary relief for around a million immigrants threatened with deportation. who came here illegally. this extension will give them access to work permits, social security numbers, and protection from deportation,

most importantly. 300,000 immigrants whose protected status is facing expiration will now have three more years of certainty, so that congress can work on a larger immigration deal which everybody wants. but then came the quid pro quo. in return for all of this, the president is demanding close to $6 billion to build a wall along america's southern border — a project the democrats hate. if we build a powerful and fully designed see—through steel barrier on our southern border, the crime rate and drug problem in our country would be quickly and greatly reduced. some say it could be cut in half. senior democrats were quick to brand the president's plan a non—starter, and the house speaker nancy pelosi put it thus: adding later:

stay with us on bbc news. still to come: this year is 100th anniversary of the bauhaus and the start of modern architecture. donald trump is now the 45th president of the united states. he was sworn in before several hundred thousand people on the steps of capitol hill in washington. it's going to be only america first — america first. .

president trump has proposed a cemgremise ts; end the longest eater— ~ , ~ ~ ~ us government shutdown. if he's given the money to build his border wall, he'll lift a threat to deport a million immigrants for three years. let's stay with that story and go live to north carolina, and speak to taylor griffin, a former republican party candidate who worked under george w bush in the white house and is now editor of roughlyexplained.com. well, explain this, taylor griffin.

what is donald trump trying to achieve with this plan? well, i think on the face of it, he is trying to achieve a compromise here that will end the sharp down and get him what he wants, which is $5.7 billion for border war funding. the reality is that the white house probably recognises this is not enough for democrats. you mentioned the daca funding or the daca extension. that is a really important issue for democrats. they wa nt to important issue for democrats. they want to see daca protections extended permanently. this is a deferred action to child arrivals programme, which is children who we call the dreamers, children who came to the us through no fault of their own and are now in the country illegally. president 0bama put in place a programme to protect them from deportation, president trump wa nted from deportation, president trump wanted to take it away. he is now agreeing to extend those protections for three years. democrats wanted permanently and they want a path to citizenship. by not doing that, this deal was probably always going to be

dead on arrival with house democrats and probably some senate democrats as well. don't you think some members of the public will be angry at the democrats orjust outright refusing to even discuss this possible compromise, given there is a bit of an olive branch there from donald trump. yes, and i think that is exactly the point of this. i think it is an opportunity for the president to put himself into a stronger negotiating position vis a vis the democrats. the president has been taking lots of political flak of this controversy, and the shutdown is largely being blamed on him. this gives him the opportunity to look like he is being reasonable and the democrats look like they are the ones being intractable. so i think president trump hopes here that by doing this, he can reposition the debate that he has, so that he is holding a stronger hand at the negotiating table and will help find a solution. yet, at the moment, it doesn't seem to have

worked. is donald trump struggling to get used to this new reality that the democrats are in charge of the house, they have power now?|j the democrats are in charge of the house, they have power now? i think all republicans are having trouble getting used to that reality. that is why president trump tried to do this at the end of last year, because he hoped that he might have a chance of getting it through them. the problem was that last year, when this whole thing started, the democrats controlled enough of the senate to prevent it from passing through the senate. now the democrats control votes in the house and senate, in fact they control the house altogether. so the president is going to have to work with democrats if he wants to get this done. but i don't think this was probably ever expected, except by the most optimistic of people, to be the most optimistic of people, to be the final deal. i think this was probably a negotiating position the president put out to give himself some leveraged and put some of the political blame on the democrats, and hopefully encourage them to come to the table and make a deal that is more to his liking. —— some

leverage. the partial shut down goes on and thousands of workers are being affected, and the economy as well. what thinks —— what think needs to happen next to end this?” think the democrats are probably going to feel their way through this. i think that probably the democrats need to feel like they got some sort of compromise from trump on the wall. i think he offered some of that. he made it clear he is not going to talk about 2000 mile walk is the border, which everybody thinks is ridiculous. he is talking about border fencing in strategic places. so that is a start. but the democrats are going to have to feel whether they are politically still able to take advantage of the position that they are in, because president trump really got himself into this mess. he put himself out ona limb. into this mess. he put himself out on a limb. the democrats have been busy trying to saw it off, and they really wa nt busy trying to saw it off, and they really want to get their pound of flesh from him before they give up.

taylor griffin in north carolina, thank you. poland has bid an emotionalfarewell to the longtime mayor of gdansk, pavel adamovich. he was stabbed to death on stage last week at one of the country's biggest charity events. police say around 115,000 people turned out for a funeral mass at the city's st mary's basilica, with many more watching on giant screens outside. the bbc‘s adam easton was there. pawel adamowicz‘s death has been felt deeply and is being mourned farfrom this 14th century basilica. he was proud to be from gdansk, the city that gave the world solidarity, a polish movement that overthrew communism without shedding a drop of blood and led to the fall of the berlin wall. solidarity‘s leader and former president lech walesa was among the mourners. mr adamowicz was mayor here for more than 20 years. he was so popular,

he was re—elected five times. thousands of people queued in freezing temperatures to try to get into the church for the funeral. but many, many more, tens of thousands, gathered in the streets outside the church to watch on large screens and bid farewell to their mayor. in his time, gdansk transformed from a dull, grey port town into a modern and dynamic european city, one that he'd opened to migrants and minorities. that made him a hate figure for many on the right. but what has so stunned poland was the manner of his death. at poland's biggest annual charity event, he had just thanked a crowd for giving so generously when his assailant rushed him. just out of prison for armed robbery, his attacker, who reportedly has mental health issues, said he blamed the mayor's former party for his incarceration. his death has begun a debate

about hate speech in a country where labelling political opponents as traitors has somehow become acceptable. more than 20 people have been arrested in the last few days for making death threats on social media. president andrzej duda has called on poles to unite despite their differences. the tragedy for poland is that it took the death of the mayor for that call to be made. adam easton, bbc news, gdansk. this year is the 100th anniversary of the start of one of the most influential architectural movements ever. the bauhaus was born in the german city of weimar in 1919. its guiding principle that "form should follow function" and its ideas of simple elegance endure to this day. bill hayton reports. 0k, it doesn't look much. but this building started a design revolution — following the principles

of the bauhaus. inside, the form of each room was determined by its function — with straight lines and simple curves. translation: have you noticed that the alleys allow you to see the house from all sides? why? because this house is an object. the bauhaus architects wanted it to be like this. the same principles guided the bauhaus re—design of everyday objects — a revolution that's still with us today. and that started here, in the office of the design school's founder, walter gropius, still preserved in the original building. in this room, we can see very well the basis of the bauhaus work. we paid great attention to the layout of the lines, as well as the cubes. the school only existed for 1h years. the nazis closed it in 1933 and many of its staff fled. that spread its influence into building projects and furniture

showrooms all around the world. it is a standardised, mass—produced design. there are also many aesthetic elements in the furniture, such as a sense of simplicity or minimalism. the bauhaus intended to produce design for the people. now, of course, its original works are unaffordable for most. there are, however, plenty of copies — and the school is now a university of 4,000 students, proving that its principles still remain relevant a century later. michael schumacher‘s son mick has followed in his father's footsteps by signing a contract with ferrari to join the formula one team's young driver academy. the 19—year—old german, whose father won five of his record seven championships with the italian team willjoin other members of the academy in pre—season activities next week. german team mercedes had also been trying secure schumacher junior for its young driver programme.

the prospect of brighter skies for some of us for part two of the weekend after what was a rather grey, cold start to the weekend. a very wintry feel and look to things for some of us. here's one weather watcher view from the lake district. and we are starting with a frost across particularly parts of scotland, a sharp frost in places, down to —7, —8, so parts of east anglia could be down to —6 as well in the countryside. we've had some cloud overnight into sunday morning. temperatures just above freezing. and there is a weather front moving down across scotland and northern ireland as we go on through sunday. that has then an area of cloud, rain, hill snow especially in scotland as well, so bear that in mind if you're venturing to higher ground. that will slowly move on through. brighter skies follow. breezy with a few showers in north—west scotland. light winds for england and wales. still a fair amount of cloud around, maybe still drizzly, one or two spots. may catch a shower the far west of wales and into cornwall, looks like a brighter day, though for east anglia and south—east england compared with saturday, and temperatures topping out at around 4 to 8 celsius. now, that weak weather front will be

across northern england into parts of wales on through sunday evening, moves further south on sunday night, barely any rain still associated with that. some clear spells around as well, so you try your luck with those early on monday if you're viewing the total lunar eclipse, and a rather more widespread frost as well as monday starts. so then, into monday, we look at the big picture here. there's a little nose of high pressure keeping things reasonably settled across much of the uk. this weather front, though, will show its hand into parts of scotland and northern ireland as we go deeper into the day. now, what we'll notice from that is a cloud increasing, the wind picking up as well. in fact, could see some gusts in the western isles deeper into the day up to around 60 miles an hourorso, and then here comes the wet weather. some rain, some hill snow associated with that, especially into scotland. whereas much of england and wales

with variable cloud and sunny spells, will stay dry, and temperatures still on the chilly side at around 4 to 8 degrees. as we go on through monday evening and monday night, this area of wet weather, some rain, some hill snow, maybe a bit of wet snow on the back edge, all sweeping its way
