it's been a whirlwind 2a hours for the us president, beginning of course with the inauguration, and just hours after that — the signing of a flurry of executive orders. our north america editor, sarah smith reports on day one of donald trump's return to the white house. —— sumi somaskanda. cheering he's obviously feeling invincible, sword in hand, dancing shoes on, celebrating his return to power last night. even melania seemed to be enjoying herself. but there was a more sombre mood at the national prayer service today, where donald trump wasn't celebrated, but chastised, directly from the pulpit. mr president, millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving god. in the name of our god,

i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. clearly an unwelcome reminder that they may have won the election but they have not converted the whole country to their cause. reporter: what did you think of the service? - back at the white house, he could not hide his irritation. reporter: what did you think of the service? - what did you think? did you like it, did you find it exciting? not too exciting, was it? i didn't think it was a good service, no, but thank you very much. they can do much better. inside the oval office last night, his desk was stacked high with presidential orders. so, this is january 6th, and these are the hostages. approximately 1,500 for a pardon. yes. full pardon. releasing convicted rioters, pulling out of the paris climate accords, all at the stroke of a pen.

he said he will slap steep 25% tariffs on imports from mexico and canada next month if they don't stop drugs and immigrants from crossing their borders. and he mused about an official overseas visit. so the first foreign trip typically has been with uk. but we did it... i did it with saudi arabia last time because they agreed to buy $450 billion worth of our products. sounds like a presidential visit is now an expensive purchase. and they agreed to do that. activists are already resisting, notjust by protesting, but also launching legal challenges against the orders to deport illegal immigrants and end the right of people born in america to become us citizens. for the better part of a year, we have been preparing for this moment. we are here to defeat, to delay, to dilute trump's extreme agenda at every level, including the state and local level.

the freezing weather across washington, these snowy scenes outside the white house, provide a stark contrast with the fiery determination inside to move fast and bring radical change to america. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. in the last few hours, president trump has announced private sector investment of $500 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure in the united states over the next four years. the ai project, called stargate, will create 100,000 jobs. here's some of what he had to say. two together these well leading technology giants are announcing.— technology giants are announcing. the end -- announcing _ announcing. the end -- announcing the - announcing. the end -- i announcing the formation announcing. the end -- - announcing the formation of stargate, so put that name down in your books because i think you will hear a lot about it in the future. a new american company that will invest $500 million at least in al infrastructure in the united states and very quickly moving very rapidly, creating over 100,000 americanjobs very rapidly, creating over 100,000 american jobs almost

immediately. this monumental undertaking is a resounding declaration of confidence in america's potential under a new president, i didn't say it, they did, so i appreciate that, fellas, but it will ensure the future of technology. what we want to do is we want to give it in this country. china is a competitor and others are competitors. we wanted to be in this country and we are making it available. i'm going to help a lot through emergency declarations because we have an emergency, we have to get the stuff built. so they have to produce a lot of electricity and we will make it possible for them to get that production done very easily at their own plants if they want. our technology correspondent lily jamali has this analysis of president trump's announcement. i think it is significant. ultimately we're talking about a 500 billion dollar investment

over a couple of years but we will start with that $100 billion and these are major players well—known in silicon valley. 0pen ai which helped kick off the ai revolution from the consumer perspective with the consumer perspective with the advent of chatgpt which they make. as well as 0racle, a player here, and southbank which is run by masa based in japan and he has forged a close relationship with donald trump. what we heard is talk of infrastructure, talk of building the data centres that are so critical to powering ai and the development of ai. we heard aboutjobs which you noted 100,000 jobs being in the works is what were promised and i think that is an acknowledgement of a couple of things. first, how difficult it is to do ai alone. right now we have an ecosystem where there are multiple players trying to do this, vying for dominance.

but i think ultimately from the federal government's perspective, from the us and from trump's perspective, the key here is to ensure the us is dominant against china in al andi dominant against china in al and i think that is a big part of what this announcement today represents. donald trump sought to dramatically restrict immigration on his first day back in the white house, signing a series of executive orders aimed at tightening border controls. shortly after taking office on monday, mr trump declared illegal immigration a national emergency and ordered officials to "repel, repatriate or remove" unauthorised migrants. he's also instructed national agencies to refuse automatic citizenship to children born in the us to parents who are there illegally or on temporary visas. that effort is already facing legal challenges. the american civil liberties union says denying birthright citizenship to us—born children is unconstitutional. a similar lawsuit has been filed by 18 us states. the attorney general of california — one of those

states who announced the lawsuit — called the executive order disastrous and damaging. if allowed to stand, this order would endanger thousands of us citizens who will be born in the next year. real children and families just trying to live their lives in peace. it would strip americans of their most basic rights and the privileges they are owed as citizens. children would be forced to live under the threat of deportation, the fear, anxiety and trauma that alone is enormously detrimental to their mental and emotional well being. and california attorney general rob bonta joins us now. very good to have you with us here in bbc news. you said in that clip that this would endanger children. what do you mean by that?— mean by that? well, for over 125 years _ mean by that? well, for over 125 years the _ mean by that? well, for over 125 years the rule _ mean by that? well, for over 125 years the rule has - mean by that? well, for over 125 years the rule has been i 125 years the rule has been simple. as the citizenship

clause in the constitution has been interpreted, if you are born in this country, even the citizenship of your parents, you are a citizen. you are having rights to basic healthcare, like medicare or chip, the children's health insurance programme. it means having, being able to live free of deportation to another country you may never have known or been able to have a social security card and passport means that being able to vote, being to serve under jury, run for office, to vote, being to serve under jury, runfor office, have access to jury, run for office, have access to food jury, runfor office, have access to food security programmes, housing programmes, student loan programmes. access to basic services including basics like food and healthcare and housing that you cannot live without are all put at risk by this fringe theory driven executive order where no court in the united states has never interpreted the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment to mean what the president states it means.

ratification. that is the way, it is spelled—out. we have rules, we have separations of power, look, we have checks and balances, we have laws to follow, he must follow them and he is not. so this is very basic. it is a talking point you will see from them all the time. ,, ,, �* you will see from them all the time-_ they - you will see from them all the time._ they are i you will see from them all the - time._ they are doing time. crosstalk. they are doing somethin: time. crosstalk. they are doing something radical— time. crosstalk. they are doing something radical and _ time. crosstalk. they are doing something radical and they - time. crosstalk. they are doing something radical and they are i something radical and they are held accountable for it, holding them accountable for the radical action radical. it isjust politics, it the radical action radical. it is just politics, it happens all the time. isjust politics, it happens all the time._ isjust politics, it happens all the time. isjust politics, it happens allthe time. ., ., ., all the time. you have said of course that — all the time. you have said of course that caught _ all the time. you have said of course that caught in - all the time. you have said of course that caught in the - all the time. you have said of| course that caught in the past including the supreme court has reaffirmed the birthright citizenship but this is a different court with a conservative majority, a different environment in the us. do you think there is a possibility we could see that supreme court upholds what donald trump is proposing? we are ve donald trump is proposing? - are very sure of our case. this is based on the plain and unambiguous language of the 14th amendment, the citizen —— citizenship clause cause. the two us cases interpretation

that we are advancing here. you give us a call that is fair thatis give us a call that is fair that is objective, that will listen to the facts and legal analysis, we believe that will we will win. do we think we will win in any court any day 100% of the time? of course not, no cases that strong, but you want to talk about cases that are overwhelmingly strong in the merits, this is one of them. this is a very battle in them. this is a very battle in the swimming upstream course for the president to take so of course the us supreme court has done things that i haven't agreed with i think they will see the facts and the law here and the bedrock principle of birthright citizenship and reaffirm if it gets to them. 0k, california attorney general rob bonta, thank you joining us tonight. meanwhile, the trump administration has also barred migrants from using us customs and border protection's smartphone app to request asylum appointments. it was previously the only legal way for people to claim asylum at the southern border. but it's not only states on the southern border being affected by president

trump's new policies. 0ur correspondent carl nasman is in a latino neighbourhood in chicago, a city where raids from immigration and customs enforcement are expected. a flurry of activity when it comes to immigration in washington, dc is being felt all across the country, particularly right here in chicago. we are in little village, the heart of the latino community in the city people here tell us there is a sense of fear. particularly because this is where it is believed those mass deportation is the president has been promising to begin really in the next 2a — 48 hours. promising to begin really in the next 24 — 48 hours. a lot of those moves also of course having practical impacts on the border. the declaration of the national bringing more resources down here and also we shouldn't forget the cancellation of that app which had been the way that many people were applying for asylum in the us. without gone it is not clear whether or not people actually have a legal route to apply for asylum in the united

states. as all this is playing out, there have already been some challenges are seen in court especially when it comes to donald trump's moved to try to donald trump's moved to try to get rid of birthright citizenship. already more than a dozen states have filed lawsuits against that as well as the bcl you. they are claiming that simply won't work and that is unconstitutional. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the home secretary has said public bodies "completely failed" to recognise the danger posed by axel rudakubana before he killed three young girls in southport last year. yvette cooper has announced a thorough review of prevent, after it emerged that the teenager was referred to the anti—extremism programme on three separate occasions. the prime minister has announced a public inquiry into the attacks. the government is considering backing plans to increase capacity at the uks airports, including a third runway at heathrow, and expansions at gatwick and luton. the chancellor, rachel reeves, is expected to make an announcement in a speech on economic growth next week. those who oppose airport expansion say it would damage the environment.

the start of prince harry's trial against the publishers of the sun has been delayed, after it emerged that the two sides are involved in settlement talks. the duke of sussex alleges he was unlawfully targeted byjournalists and private investigators working for news group newspapers. the company has always denied unlawful activity at the sun. we have more on that story on our website. you're watching bbc news. following an inauguration ceremony on monday, he delivered on his promise to immediately sign a blitz of executive orders. one of the first pardoned more than 1,500 people convicted or charged in connection to the 2021 capitol riot. president trump commuted the sentence of another 14 people — meaning their sentence will end but convictions will remain on record. several have already been released from jail including former proud boys

leader enrique tarrio, as well as 0ath keepers founder stewart rhodes. our correspondent emma vardy sent this report from outside the dcjail where january 6th defendants are being processed for release. celebrations outside these walls. inside, january sixth defendants know donald trump has granted their freedom. among those getting a reprieve are the leaders of far—right organisations. stewart rhodes from the group the 0ath keepers, this morning released from an 18 year sentence. look to your left and look to your right. enrique tarrio, leader of the proud boys, had been serving 22 years. today, he's a free man, along with other members. cheering and applause these came to be some of the defining images of the riots. the man known as the shamen now has his criminal record wiped. i got the news from my lawyer when i was at the gym and i walked outside and i screamed "freedom" at the top of my

lungs and then gave a good native american war cry. the disorder that unfolded at the capitol that day was unprecedented. more than 200 police officers were injured. while politicians and civil servants barricaded themselves inside. police officer michael fanone was on duty. i made my way to the front of that police line, and was eventually pulled from the line, dragged out into the crowd, beaten severely, and i was struck with a taser device, with metal objects, fists. and so what donald trump is saying is that, listen, if you commit acts of violence on my behalf, i'll give you a pass. rachel powell was convicted after smashing a window at the capitol with an ice axe. today she was released after a year behind bars. most of us went there thinking it would be a regular day,

a regular protest where you chant and you go home. and unfortunately it wasn't that. 1540 00:17:07,0
