what is boris saying? he has suggested that he should be welcomed into the uk because the relationship with the united states is so crucial here. it is about respecting the office of the presidency, respecting that security, and potentially trade in the future would be fighting especially once britain needs the eu. boris has been saying this for a while. i agree with him. in the short—term gain to completely push the president out. i think a working trip would be appropriate. bring out all the bells and whistles for a state visit is another matter and people have the right to protest. boris is trying to highlight the fa ct boris is trying to highlight the fact that the us has that special relationship. it has always been an ally. and to cut it off because trump holds office now could be an error down the road. trump himself seems unwilling to come. he was

"injustice anywhere", wrote martin luther king, "is a threat to justice everywhere". sometimes the cry of injustice is raised by the accused, sometimes by victims. but this week, unusually, we've heard it from both sides in rape trials. for many, today's government announcement that it will not challenge the parole boards decision to free the ‘black cab rapist‘john worboys, is inexplicable. lawyers for two of worboys‘ victims have said they instead will challenge the decision to release him. and around the same time that the government abandoned its worboys challenge, prosecutors in guildford formally dropped their case against a man accused of rape. oliver mears became the fourth man in four weeks to have long—standing charges against him dropped shortly before trial because of the late discovery of information suggesting his innocence. we'll hear from the director of public prosecutions in a moment, asking whether her ser

boris? >> yeah. barbara, we also got some mixed messaging from him today. he talked about his country's nuclear capabilities but then he also talked about potentially sitting down and talking to south korea? >> he did. he hinted that he would be open to some discussion about north korea sending a delegation to the winter olympics being hosted in a few weeks by south korea. whether that happens, i think the world sports community is very uncertain at this point, whether that is even likely. will kim follow through on this kind of olive branch new year's talk? hard to see. maybe yes. but still, very much he also was adamant that if he felt attacked, if he felt threatened, he would respond and we know that he has this missile capability. he also talked about the nuclear button, his words, always being on his desk, always being ready to go. >> certainly disconcerting. barbara starr reporting from the pentagon, thank you. >> in iran where the death toll is rising after four straight days of natio

i don't know if it is -- for boris johnson.w if it is, a lot of the news organisations are leading on him being slapped down but if you are not following the intricacies of what is happening in the cabinet and with brexit at the moment, boris johnson saunders looks like he is just championing the nhs again —— sort of look. as he did in the referendum campaign with the £350 million promised for the nhs. again, i'm not sure that this is a particularly bad story for him. and i think it works, as kate said, in his favour. there are not any fresh ideas coming out of number ten, there is a vacuum and he is coming up there is a vacuum and he is coming up with slightly mad ideas like this bridge to france last week but this isa bridge to france last week but this is a populist and popular proposal which is more money for the nhs which is more money for the nhs which i think voters will recognise as seriously needed. moving onto the i. as seriously needed. moving onto the i, fake news unit to fight web threat. i was reading that italy h

i understand boris johnson wants of the battle bus.borisjohnson wants that of the battle bus. i understand boris johnson wants that to of the battle bus. i understand borisjohnson wants that to become government policy, in other words for theresa may to sign up to extra money, a brexit dividend for the nhs after we leave the eu. now, hang on after we leave the eu. now, hang on a second, he is proposing 100 million, not 350 million, but it is a soldotna airport figure that would remain once you have removed all the money you would get back from the eu. -- it is money you would get back from the eu. —— it is a sort of net figure. borisjohnson has let it be known that he will be raising this at cabinet, and very obviously he is not the health secretary, and yet he is sketching out his view of what theresa may order to do to address the pressures on the national health service, albeit when he arrived at cabinet this morning he was somewhat less loquacious. morning, foreign secretary! do you want to be the chancellor, foreign secretary? 0r

to be fair it's boris johnson seeing well in the first place.ey and playing with it and enjoying winding up the guardian. also perhaps feels that he needs to get out there again on the brexit debate. mrfarage has had a bit of the oxygen in relation to this talk being a second referendum. mrjohnson in this interview i think has said yeah, there could be a second referendum, i don't want one, if there is one the brexit side would win even more handily. yeah, and i think there is a view lots of people — what boris is trying to do here, definitely there was a frustration from some people in cabinet that the positive argument for brexit isn't made enough and you have to remind people of the reasons. the people on the other side constantly remind people of reasons why they don't think it was a good idea. there is — i think what is interesting about the nhs thing is if you didn't believe the £350 million, i don't think you are necessarily going to believe the 438 million. boris johnson wants to do something here, he wants to prove he didn't mislead vot

not boris johnson.people about boris johnson... he suspect is trying to remind people about borisjohnson... he came out in the week with his bridge to france idea, that presumably didn't get him enough attention so he's come outwith, how can i get attention? everyone pays attention when you talk about donald trump so i will talk about donald trump. when you talk about donald trump so i will talk about donald trumpm it that simple? he's the foreign secretary, surely he's allowed to talk about relations with the united states. he is allowed to but why now? perhaps there was a re—shuffle in which it was trying to make sure there was no obvious successor to herand there was no obvious successor to her and safer position and in the la st her and safer position and in the last week boris has come out with a bridge defrance, which is a bit nuts, let's be honest, it's not going to happen. and now being controversial and saying we should welcome trump. in the wake of brexit, surely we do need trade deals with ot

so you would push back on boris johnson? of to give it to the nhs? to the serious people, i would say, given the public are totally resistant to paying any more tax nowadays for anything, i didn't have quite this problem when i was chancellor of the exchequer, they didn't expect all their budgets just to be given away as presents to everybody. we probably do need more revenue. social care first of all, and the nhs, particularly as you make them integrate, that is where you need money. where you are going to raise it and how to responsibly raise it, and how we set about selling to a reluctant public that this is in the public interest. indeed. money they have got to pay. also, a public that feels it is disaffected notjust with politics, but also with capitalism. you make the point that you are effectively a social liberal but in economic terms, you have always been the free market end of the conservative party. i haven't changed my mind, for a0 years it's delivered magnificent improvement in living standards that we have seen

it is boris johnson playing games, isn't it? the last two years? we had a budget last autumn where the government failed to give the nhs the funding it needed, so where was hea the funding it needed, so where was he a header that? this is all about borisjohnson. he he a header that? this is all about boris johnson. he is he a header that? this is all about borisjohnson. he is not concerned about patients waiting on trolleys in corridors and those elderly people in the back of ambulances waiting to be treated. it is his tedious political gain. if they were serious about putting money into the nhs, they would have done it in the budget last autumn. boris johnson making these comments, announcing them before the cabinet meeting today, if that puts pressure on the health secretary and theresa may to give the health service an extra hundred million pounds a week, which is what you were going to call for asa is what you were going to call for as a party on thursday, what is the harm in it? quite. if it puts pressure on them, fine, but

the foreign secretary, boris johnson, is pushing for millions of pounds more a week for the nhs in england. mrjohnson is making his pitch following mounting worry about winter pressures — but got this rebuff from the chancellor. mrjohnson is the foreign secretary. i gave the health secretary an extra £6 billion at the recent budget and we'll look at departmental allocations against at the spending review when that takes place. we'll have the latest from westminster. also this lunchtime: the man accused of the finsbury park mosque attack — a court hears he received a message on social media from a far—right leader a powerful earthquake in the gulf of alaska prompted warnings of a possible tsunami down the west coast of canada and the united states. kyle edmonds is a grand slam semifinal is! —— kyle edmund is a grand slam semifinalist. britain's kyle edmund pulls off a sensational victory at the australian open, to reach his first grand slam semi—final. i'm loving it right now — just the way i'm playing. i'm 23—years—old and my first grand slam semifinal, the first time i played on one of th

that's what boris johnson says. ok, visit from donald trump. that's what borisjohnson says.is mr trump himself who does not want to come, rather than us not wanting him here? that is asked in the broadest sense. i think the position of donald trump has been affected by the feeling of the british public who made it very clear that there would be mass protest if he showed up. all ofa would be mass protest if he showed up. all of a sudden he is not showing up because he is not happy with the new embassy and it seems a bit funny. again, interesting that the foreign secretary is writing this article today but i think it has to do with rex tillerson and his counterpart from the united states. he makes the point that it is to think of donald trump as being what we wa nt think of donald trump as being what we want to oppose but we need to be careful not to oppose the oval office overall. the relationship between the us and the uk is so crucial in terms of security and history in terms of trade in the future. yes, because once brexit happens we will need all the trade we can get. wha

stall for what brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson for what brexit should look like, we had borist brexit should look like, we had borisjohnson doing his thing over the weekend and getting slapped down by theresa may, now philip hammond himself getting slapped down by downing street for saying that the way he sees it is there should only be a modest economic divergence between the uk and the eu after we leave the eu. he makes the perfectly valid point in my view that the economies are currently aligned, it's not as if you were trying to bring together two economies that are very different, as was the case with the deal for canada. they are already well aligned so you only wa nt to already well aligned so you only want to diverged if it's in your interest to do so. he thinks that should be modest. on the other side, brexiteers will say we need a clean break, to make the most of the upside of having our own trade deals and all the rest. we want to get out and all the rest. we want to get out and do ourown and all the rest. we want to get out and do our own thing. precisely, jacob re

but the person stealing the headlines is boris johnson. he's called for bridge across the channel.elight from the prime minister at a moment like this. clearly not the first time. you get the sense that this is more about domestic politics than anything else, just a reminder that boris is constantly there. roy wood business perspective the markets will take this as a reminder of the fragile nature of uk politics. to any of us believe bridge will be built? probably not. interesting that the french president said that was a good idea, and said let's make it happen or words to that effect. another throwaway line? serra two parts to. from the perspective of infrastructure spending that could bea infrastructure spending that could be a boost to the economy, and perhaps just a bit of sterling with regards to the brexit negotiations, a little aside to boris rather than theresa may. i suspect he was just having fun and stirring the pot. probably the best line that came out of it all. enjoyed that one. and the focus is on china's economy, which has gone up 6.9% from last year, against expec

for some analysis i spoke earlier with boris foreman professor of politics and bard college berlin i asked him if it was trump the deal maker or trump the hard liner in the speech. i guess rather the deal maker but i think it was he was sticking to the tradition of the state of the union which it is it's a very consolatory speech it's trying to bring the different factions together it's trying to give a summary an optimistic summary of what happened in the last year and to embed it in the national history of greatness i mean this is basically what the state of the union does and trump has stuck to the script ok but there has been strong job creation and that does reduce inequality so the president has succeeded on some economic fronts as i'm sure this has been the main point that he's been making also in davos in his speech just a couple days ago this has been the main to what the democrats would emphasize is that this is sort of the the late heritage of the obama administration others would say well this is maybe trump unleashing the animal spirits of the markets it remains to be se

what are your thoughts about boris johnson? >> boris johnson has a wonderful turn of phrase, that's a good example of it. he can nail a point in a style he can only pull off. point is a serious one, a lot of british politicians for i suppose virtue signaling purposes to show what wonderful people they are, have been suggesting that president trump is not welcome here in the uk, when, of course, we all know those who take the relationship seriously know that the relationship between the u.s. president and britain is a vital one, important one, a strategically important and economically important. boris johnson is reminding people that here is essentially the leader of the free world, he must and should be welcome in the uk, and those politicians who have tried to keep him away are essentially a national embarrassment themselves. they are embarrassing our country and getting in the way of effective relationships that just a moment in time, post brexit or during brexit we need most to be established on by the usa. the message is y

let's go now to cnn white house correspondent boris sanchez. boris, is it likely that the republicans will support the plan to protect mueller and team? >> hey there, fred, yes, i actually just heard from a republican operative close to the leadership who told me the chances of them taking up these two bills are low and, in part, because it could lead to a debate that would split party. on one hand, you have the two co-sponsors of these bills, lindsey graham, as well as tom tillis, and on the other, you have people like mitch mcconnell who back in august when these bills were first introduced said it simply wasn't a priority for republicans. and back then, rumors were swirling that robert mueller was going to be fired by president trump. when there was assurances made by the white house and others in the administration there was no such plan in place, the push died down. in light of this new "new york times" reporting, democrats are picking up the push yet again. here's senator mark warner, the highest ranking democrat on the senate intelligenc

is not an awful lot on this rather than boris johnson picking may.on picking up a stink. no explanation on how brexit would be frustrated or diverted. two things, one thing suggesting, what he is saying here or apparently sane through friends, what he doesn't want, i can understand this entirely, is that the country ends up having a deal where basically he is arguing that theresa may gets crowned down and agrees. —— saying. not committing to the rules, still subject to the jurisdiction of the european court. everything remains the same except for the anomaly outside the european union and that would leave us in a worse situation and he doesn't want that and would rather almost 18 if that and would rather almost 18 if that were the case. so i think, there are two things there, somehow there are two things there, somehow the whole thing might not happen but if it doesn't —— if it does happen it might happen in a way that would in effect destroy what the purpose was in the first place and that is what he is concerned about, according to the story. finis

boris, what more can we expect from the president? >> a white house official telling cnn this will be an optimistic speech. the main theme will be building a safer, stronger, prouder america. the president is expected to appeal to people that naturally aren't in his base, and he's going to do that by touting some of his successes, specifically in the booming economy. he's going to talk about the growing stock market, dwindling unemployment numbers, and then transition to talking about the future. the president is expected to ask congress for about a trillion dollars for his infrastructure plan. then the most critical part of his speech coming at a crucial time in the debate over immigration reform, the president is going to try to sell his vision of immigration reform in exchange for allowing a pathway to citizenship to some 2 million undocumented immigrants. the president is going to ask for $25 billion in spending to build his long-promised border wall. the white house has been essentially setting the stage for the debate over his p
