this is bbc news, the headlines... president trump sens 1500 troops to the us mexico border on and move to crack down on illegal immigration. talking trade, donald trump is set to address world leaders in davos today, with the threat of further tariffs leaving for america's economic rivals. uk wants russia to stop spying after surveillance ships are spotted off the coast near british waters. the palestinian health ministry says at least ten people have been killed in israel's latest operations in occupied west bank. hello, i'm catherine byaruhanga. now, let's focus on the top business stories.

for that, it's over to sally bundock. thanks, catherine. we start with president donald trump who later this afternoon will be addressing global leaders at davos, virtually, and many are unsure what to expect. the world economic forum pushes for collaboration, a place where leaders and company bosses come together and try to find middle ground. but president trump is clear his policy is "america first" and has already threatened to raise tariffs for his country's major trading rivals and partners. so what can we expect from him today? martin baccardax, senior editor and chief markets correspondent at the street believes the us president will relish the oppurtunity to take centre stage. this is exactly the stage i think he has been looking forward to since the election because he is involved in a way that is very different to his last appearance in davos in 2020 when he talked

about the need for optimism. and you'll remember it was only a few weeks after that that the world was in lockdown, as a result of the covid pandemic. today, he has described as the strongest economy in the world, he has a mandate from the popular vote of the american people. both houses of congress and the world's biggest ceos lining up behind him. so he is going to project a confidence that is probably going to be a bit unsettling and reiterate his america first agenda. among the delegates in davos today is andy beshear, he is the democratic governor of kentucky. i asked him what he is expecting from president trump's speech. i think it'll be interesting to see where the president is just days after the inauguration. i certainly hope that he will talk about cooperation, the importance of alliances, especially between the united states and europe, and their importance for global stability. and i at least hope that he will strike a tone

to where we can provide more reassurance to the world, and especially to our allies, about how critical these relationships are. is that a vain hope, given what we mostly hearfrom the president, which is about america first, which is about the potential swingeing tariffs on key trading partners? if he doesn't feel america is getting the best deal. well, i think what you'll what you'll see is, is the president having to to take his american first ideology, but then look at the reasons that he was elected. at the end of the day, those swing voters moved over to donald trump because they believed he was the one that was going to make it easier to pay their bills at the end of the month, that he could bring prices down when prices had been too high, even though wages were going up, there was a lag there. so if a large tariff on mexico increases the price of food of groceries, if a large tariff on canada increases the price

of gasoline, then those voters are going to get very unhappy very quickly. so it's at least my hope that the message from the election that donald trump, president trump and his people should have seen is one that they will keep in the very forefront of their mind. and why are you at the world economic forum? what are you hoping to achieve? i'm here first time my state, kentucky, has ever been invited because we've broken every economic record that that we've ever set the most private sector investment, the most newjobs, the best wages, the most exports. so this is a chance to put kentucky a place that i love and that i lead on the global stage. i'm meeting with employers from countries around the world that employ about 8500, 8500 kentuckians. they're from three continents. and i get to see them all right here and talk about bringing in morejobs. as a governor, i'm very practical before any ideology comes into play. myjob is to create a better

life for the people of kentucky, and i certainly hope for my country that moving forward, that those are some of the things that we focus on less on all the divisions we see out there and more on good jobs, health care, safe roads and bridges, good schools and strong public safety. andy public safety. beshear there who is a governor andy beshear there who is a governor in kentucky. there are lots of conversations about him, the possibility that he could be the next front runner in the us, in the democrats. we will be live with president trump's speech later when it does take place at the world economic forum so stay with us for that. here in the uk, the government is facing a backlash from three of the country's biggest supermarkets over its new inheritance tax on farmers. tesco, aldi, and lidl have warned the uk's future food security is at stake, unless the government pauses the introduction of inheritance tax on farms

worth over £1 million. this comes as the government's budget watchdog, the office for budget responsibility warns farmers are likely to slash investment because of the tax. james hughes is a market analyst and he believes this will increase pressure on the government. this was always going to be the point that the government would have to start listening, was if there was some sort of financial clout behind it, and of course what we can't underestimate is the financial clout that these big supermarkets have in the uk. now that they're being a little bit more vocal about this, it will have to make the government look at this and respond in some way. and i think what's important about this policy is that obviously this has been touted ever since the budget, but the nfu, that is the national farmers�* union, they have come out a number of times and said there are ways that this policy can be made — and their words are "less bad" — with tweaks there and i think rather

than them now relying on the fact that we could maybe see this completely pulled away, it is making those changes, but it is the power these supermarkets have — we know if they start to hit the government in the pocket, that is when the government will have to look at this. james hughes there. i'm just going to squeeze in a few business stories before i hand back to catherine. the new european union trade chief responsible for post—brexit negotiations has told the bbc, that a "pan—european area is something they could consider". maros sefcovic was referring to the idea, backed by some uk business groups, of britain joining the pan—euro—mediterranean convention. the pem allows manufacturers to use parts or ingredients from dozens of countries, from iceland to turkey, in tariff—free trade. elon musk has poured cold water over donald trump's $500 billion ai project, by claiming the backers don't

have the funds to support it. the joint venture includes 0penai — as well as cloud computing giant oracle and japan's softbank. the boss of open ai — sam altman responded to musk�*s comments, stating he respects musk�*s accomplishments but didn't comment on his funding concerns. and real madrid have become the first football club to generate more than one billion euros in annual revenue, according to analysis by deloitte. the spanish club retain top spot in deloitte�*s money league study with revenue ofjust over a billion euro from last season, in which they won the spanish league and the champions league. manchester city are again second with revenue of £708 million. there is a lot of money in the beautiful game. that's all for me now, catherine, back to you.

president trump has signed an executive order closing the us—mexico border to migrants seeking physical president trump has also been justifying his decision to pardon more than 1,500 supporters who stormed the us capitol building onjanuary 6th 2021. up until a few days ago, many within the trump administration did not know the scale of what the president was planning. what we got was a near blanket pardoning with around a dozen people having their sentences commuted. mr trump had described the punishments as ridiculous and excessive but did admit that those who had attacked law enforcement officers needed to be held to account. one of those whose sentence was commuted is the founder of the far—right 0athkeepers�* group stewart rhodes. he was being held in a federal correctional institute in maryland when clemency was handed down. he had been sentenced to 18 years in prison for sedition. my colleague christian fraser has been following the story and spoke to him. do you still lead the 0ath keepers? well, ijust got out of prison. we'll see what the future holds. i'm here today on capitol hill.

actually, i was here today, first at dc. jail, advocating for the other brothers of mine who have not yet been released from dc. jail despite having been pardoned. it's ridiculous that they're waiting two or three days now to be turned loose. when i was let loose monday night at midnight, you know. so i'm very grateful to president trump. he did the right thing. president trump has has unwound and rewound the lawfare. but it continues right now. these men are being being unjustly held. they're being falsely imprisoned. can we just be clear? were you given a pardon? no. i was given a commutation of sentence. so you're still guilty of sedition? i'm still considered. guilty of sedition? yeah. guilty of sedition? i was found guilty in a jury trial, which was a very biased jury trial made up of people that were drawn. the jury was drawn from the victim pool in dc. multiple judges described the dc people as the victim of january 6th. and yet they insisted on pulling the jury from that pool of people they allege are the victims as very much

as if you were accused of robbing a shop, and then you had the people who worked in the shop or were in the shop that day on the jury. it's ridiculous. which is a pint that donald trump made. which is a point donald trump made from the oval office. but if i read you some of the evidence that you gave to the fbi, how should a jury interpret this? you said my only regret is they should have brought rifles. we should have brought rifles. we should have fixed it right there and then. i'd hang nancy pelosi from the lamp post. i was frustrated that president trump had not invoked the insurrection act. i wanted him to use his unrestricted plenary power to declassify any of the secrets held by the cia, nsa, fbi, etc of the corruption. that's how they protect the people in dc, the corrupt establishment. in fact, the secrets are the swamp water that the swamp creatures swim in. it both protects them and controls them. as long as they play the game, they're protected. step out of line, they can be exposed and ruined.

and so i wanted to see it used in classification, which i think he will now. i think kash patel is all about that. i'm glad to hear him talk about that. so i was frustrated about that. and after a few drinks i said that after the fact it's still protected free speech. what did you intend to do with the rifles? to do with the rifles you brought to the capitol? well, we did not bring rifles to the capitol, actually, we left our weapons in our hotel in virginia. as a free american and as a veteran, i always carried concealed every day of my life. did you carry concealed into the capitol? no, i did not. i, i drove from texas all the way to virginia to have to get a hotel room and then go to do security

on capitol grounds. we left our guns in our hotel rooms responsibly, left them in our hotel rooms in virginia, and did not bring them to the capitol. but irrespective of whether you brought arms into the capitol, the us districtjudge, timothy kelly, who delivered sentence on you, said the day broke our tradition of peacefully transferring power. the mob brought an entire branch of government to heel. whatever you thought about the election, was it right to go into the capitol and bring the confirmation of the vote to an end? well, look at it this way. what i think happened that day is, first of all, i didn't go inside, nor did i instruct anybody else to. i simply stood outside and exercised my right to free speech. which, of course, unfortunately, you brits don't have. you don't have a first amendment, but we do. so i have the right to stand outside and say whatever i want about the election, as long as i'm inciting imminent violence likely to occur. that's what i did. but because of who i am, the founder of 0ath keepers, i was targeted, i was selected out for the worst charge seditious conspiracy, along with my co—defendants, who were also targeted for who they were, for 0ath keepers. they went inside the capitol. about 20 0ath keepers did go inside. they went, they blundered in along with everybody else who wanted inside.

else who went inside, 20 minutes after the congress had recessed and at least 25 minutes after somebody else had already entered. they wandered in and wandered around. they took no action any different than anybody else, and yet they were selected out for the worst charges because of who they were as part of propaganda. i don't want to relitigate the case, but i do want to ask you about enrique tarrio, who's been freed from his sentence 22 years for sedition. he's called for retribution. what would retribution look like for you? accountability and justice. i want the two police officers we caught red—handed with video proof lying on the stand. that's harry dunn and lazarus. i want them charged with perjury. and i also want the prosecutors who put them up to it, charged with subornation of perjury and conspiracy to commit perjury. that's what i want to see happen in the beginning. and it was all the cases across the board, notjust my case. so when donald trump says back the blue, i wonder what you make about the statement from michael fanone, the former capitol hill police officer who was on duty that day, who says he fully expects people like you like your supporters to come after him and his family? no, not at all. look, my organisation is made up of 30% police officers. my board was made up of

predominantly police officers. so we have deep respect. we are police officers. i'm a military. i was a paratrooper in the army, but a lot of our guys were police officers and there were police officers that day who were 0ath keepers. in fact, one of em was named mike nichols. he helped tariq johnson, capitol police, escort other officers out through the crowd because he is an oath keeper. because he is an 0ath keeper, the crowd parted for him. he was able to get them out and help them get out safely through the crowd. the press was not allowed to testify at our trial, nor were we allowed to show the video of him doing that. so suppression of evidence is another problem in our trial. the president was asked yesterday whether there was any future role for the 0ath keeper. sorry to interrupt. no 0ath keeper hurt a police officer that day. pardon? the president was asked yesterday whether there was any future role for the proud boys and the 0ath keepers, and he said, let's see, what role do you think you play? if we go back to the mission we always had from the very

beginning, it is one to advocate that the police of the united states follow the constitution and don't violate people's rights. i don't want to see excessive force used by police officers like we've seen on capitol hill that day. you had roseanne boyle, an unconscious woman, being struck in the head, which is deadly force with a wooden, wooden club by a police officer over and over again. that police officer violated use of force standards at the capitol police. i want to see that police officer held accountable for that. and i advocate that all police officers respect the rights of people and control themselves. that wasn't done that day. you had michael bird shooting an unarmed woman right in the neck and murdering ashli babbitt. he has never been brought to to justice for that. it's excessive use of force. so as you see it, it's your role to hold the police to account. you stand by, you stand ready. no, i don't stand by and said ready? no, i don't stand by and stand ready. listen, i want police officers to obey their oath and defend the constitution by respecting the rights of the people and those who go too far. for example, the police officer who murdered george floyd.

i watched that video, and i've trained jiu jitsu, and i do i do believe that he went too far and he should have should have took his knee off his neck because he was clearly unconscious. you didn't sound very apologetic, though, but there's one pamela hemphill who pleaded guilty and she was sentenced to 60 days in prison. she came out ofjail under these pardons. she says we should apologise. we did wrong. but you don't have any regrets. i did not hurt anyone that day and neither did my men. we were there to do security for two permitted events on capitol grounds one area, seven latinos for trump and the other one, ali alexander. and stop the steal rally in area eight right there on the capitol lawn. so that's why we were there to protect people and keep them safe, which we've done all the entire time our organisation has existed. and that's all we did. and our men didn't didn't hurt anybody. so it's ridiculous and kind of strange to have police officers... i mean, there were police officers at my sentencing who described all their injuries, but i didn't injure anybody. neither did any 0ath keepers. it was really bizarre behaviour. it's like a it's like a stalinist show trial to attribute to us things that other people did. and that was christian frazier

speaking to stewart rhodes, the founder of the far right oath keepers group there. four days after the start of a ceasefire in gaza, israel is continuing a separate operation in and around thejenin area of the occupied west bank. at least ten people have been killed and nearly a0 injured, according to the palestinian health ministry. jenin has long been seen as a stronghold of palestinian armed groups. local residents say it could reignite tensions in the occupied territories. the ceasefire in gaza has been agreed with hamas — but the west bank is run by the palestinian authority. israel says its operation is "extensive and significant" and centres on the main refugee camp in the west of the city. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports from jenin. days into the ceasefire.

october attacks. raids here since the 7th of 0ctoberattacks. its raids here since the 7th of october attacks. its defence 0ctober attacks. its defence minister says the lesson from gazais minister says the lesson from gaza is notjust to eliminate armed groups but stop them coming back. that plan didn't work in gaza, it's not clear it will work injenin. lucy will work in jenin. lucy williamson, will work injenin. lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin. the british defence secretary says a russian spy ship has been caught operating off the coast of the uk — just weeks after it was seen loitering over critical undersea infrastructure in uk waters. speaking in the house of commons, john healey said that britain is prepared to take robust action to protect its national security. 0ur defence correspondent, jonthan beale, reports. britain has long suspected that russia has been mapping critical undersea cables, which carry power and telecommunications, with concerns they could be cut or sabotage. those fears have only increased with russia's war in ukraine. and this is one of the vessels britain believes has been doing

that clandestine work. shadowed here in 2018 by a royal navy warship, yantar is described by russia as a research vessel. the ministry of defence here calls it a spy ship. yantar has once again been tracked near uk waters. on november the 10th it was off the coast of cornwall. four days later it was in the irish sea, said to be hovering close to undersea cables. at the time she was being tracked and monitored by the royal navy, but secretly the russian ship was also being observed by a british submarine in a highly unusual move. in a highly unusual move, that submarine hms astute surfaced. defence sources say it verbally warned the russian ship that it knew what it was doing.

today, the defence secretary said this was a sign of new, more robust rules of engagement. and i also want president putin to hear this message. we see you, we know what you're doing, and we will not shy away from robust action to protect this country. there are thousands of miles of undersea cables connecting both europe and north america. they carry more than 90% of the world's internet traffic. part of europe's critical national infrastructure. in the baltic sea, russia is suspected of using merchant ships, a so—called shadow fleet, to sabotage those cables, something moscow denies. but several cables have been damaged there recently. the most recent involving this oil tanker, the eagle s.

last month, finland seized the vessel. it's accused of dragging its anchor for more than 50 miles. the question — was it deliberate? in response, britain and its allies have said they're now stepping up patrols around europe's critical undersea cables. back to our top story now and president trump has signed an orderfor immigration. the first three days of donald trump's second term as us president have been marked by a high—profile signal of political intent. new asylum applications have also been stopped. mr trump has also been stopped. mr trump has also suspended all refugee travel to the us. we have the executive director of the californian emigrant policy centre and he gave us his reaction. it centre and he gave us his reaction-—

a cold feeling day, highs of five to 8 degrees. 0vernight, that moves away northwards, clear skies before the storm comes in. bringing heavy rain, some snow at lower levels for a time before it pushes back up into the hills and then turns back to rain, but they will be gales and severe gales. all of this is moving north eastwards, the met office has an amber weather warning in force. widely inland, gusts of 60 to 70 miles an hour, hills and codes are 80 to 90, severe gales also across the isle of man. but for the rest of the uk, we are looking at yellow wind warnings, so tomorrow is going to be wet, it is also going to be wet, it is also going to be very windy with a gales or severe gales and as the rain pushes north eastwards, we will see some brighter conditions coming to the south. temperatures, although this is what it says on your thermometer, as the rain pushes through, you will find the temperatures start to go down. as we head on three friday night into saturday,

this storm, this area of low pressure continues to pull away but you can still see the squeeze on isobars in northern england and scotland. gradually through the morning the wind will ease from the south 1562
