Its 8am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7pm in washington dc, where President Trump has been setting out his latest National Security plan. At its heart, a commitment to put american interests first in dealing with the world. He singled out china and russia as foreign powers seeking to erode us prosperity. And he said the United States has no choice but to deal with the challenge from north korea. Heres our north america editorjon sopel. For two years for two yea rs now for two years now donald trump has talked incessantly about america first. Today in unveiling his National Security strategy he sought to give a slogan flesh and bones. And what he was keen to do was stress what a break with the recent past his election represented. He was the change maker. With this strategy i am announcing today we are declaring that america is in the game and america is going to win. The document says that russia and china want to shape the world antistatic or two us values and interests. Thats in line with the Us Intelligence agencies unanimous view of the threat posed by mosque you with interference in last years election but the president notably didnt phrased it like that in his speech. We also face those powers, russia and china, they seek to challenge american influence, values and wealth. We will attempt to build and wealth. We will attempt to build a Great Partnership with those and other countries, but in a manner that always protects our national interest. But while we seek such opportunities of corporation, we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for our country cooperation. Like we have never stood up before. And new in this definition of National Security was an emphasis on the importance of the economy and fair trade. Again, central themes of. Economy and fair trade. Again, centralthemes of. For economy and fair trade. Again, central themes of. For the first time american strategy recognises recognises Economic Security is National Security. Gdp growth, which is way ahead of schedule under my administration, will be one of americas truly greatest weapons. But the speech had nothing to say about Climate Change, something that barack obama had deemed a threat to National Security. America has in the past six months experienced the worst Hurricane Season in decades, with terrible flooding in taxes and puerto rico. Donald trump won over this audience and his supporters will like what they heard.

Nonetheless, he called russia and china arrivals. And he said they we re china arrivals. And he said they were seeking to challenge american influence and expand the reach of their economic models. The thrust, though, of the speech by President Trump was america first. It is a thing that was of course a centrepiece of his successful run for office. He talks about protecting the United States, boosting its prosperity and giving ita boosting its prosperity and giving it a global edge.

President obama, of course, had called Climate Change and urgent and growing threat to the us. David willis there in washington. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

As the worlds population continues to grow, it also gets, on average, older. The United Nations predicts that the number of people aged 60 or over will more than triple by the end of this century to stand at 3. 1 billion. Were having to work out how to care for a new generation of whats being called super agers. In the first of a series of reports, our medical correspondent fergus walsh has been to california to see how the issue is being tackled. On your marks. To me, i dont think about age as being a handicap. Set. Itsjust a process. You live, you die. So, why not live . Irene 0bera is 8a. She makes old age look like an irrelevance. Irenes been breaking World Records for four decades. A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. And i want to be a winner. Were living in an ageing world. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over is projected to triple globally to 1. 5 billion. Its a whole body movement. So, what can we do to increase our chances of spending those extra years in good health, like irene . Its notjust about exercising the body, but also the mind. Thats because keeping the brain active can lower the risk of developing dementia. Ijoined a french language class in berkeley, across the bay from san francisco, where all the students are in their seventies. My mother had alzheimers. So, i mean, theres part of me doesnt want that to happen to me. And science may be able to help. In the hills above Silicon Valley sits the buck institute. Researchers there are working on how to delay the way our bodies age. We predict that there will be drugs that will treat ageing, instead of each disease individually. People themselves would be able to look forward to the last decade of their life still being vibra nt, engaged, healthy. Just like irene, who challenged me to a friendly race. She can run 100m only seven seconds slower than usain bolt. So, despite my 27 year advantage, the winner was never in doubt. Thank you fergus walsh, bbc news, california. And inspiring story in the.

High pressure can bring a fairly settled spell of weather at any time of year and certainly we have a High Pressure dominating the scene across a good three quarters of the British Isles, not doing just enough to keep the france at bay in the far north and north west of scotland. What it can mean is that we start the days onafairly can mean is that we start the days on a fairly chilly note. That is not my great concern as we get into the first part of tuesday. It is just how dense fog is going to be and how widespread that dense fog will be. I am highlighting a number of areas there. Bbc radio is a good source of local information about how it will affect your journey. 0n local information about how it will affect yourjourney. 0n the bigger picture, there are islands of fog that we had quite widely across england and wales and that is not the only source of poor visibility. That frontal system coming in with the rain wont help matters, high ground helping to lift the temperatures, in fact on the shores of the murray said it will be high degrees of. The peaks and western side of wales coming to the south west could all be affected by some hill fog that. Despite the fact that the shield of fog lifts across southern england, it could incur in east anglia and the south east for the greater part of the day. It could well be that we see a return of some of that fog as we start the new day on wednesday. More patchy perhaps, but still the odd pocket of dense fog and you only need one pocket to ruin your day. Is frontal system pocket to ruin your day. Is frontal syste m ma kes pocket to ruin your day. Is frontal system makes slow progress down and across the British Isles as we get on through the day on wednesday. Ringing with it the possibility of some rain, i dont think there will be an awful lot although it may be enhanced. That frontal system waiting its way across the heart of the British Isles during the day. To either side, it is essentially still mild but as the frontal system comes further south, the mild air will tend to be confined over the southern part of britain, baby something slightly colderjust making its presence felt across northern parts of scotland and into northern ireland. I think single figure temperatures but not perish in week old, the breeze is coming across the top end of a new developing area of High Pressure as we close out the week. Then further south, that band of cloud, dissipating and maybe the odd spot of rain on the far side. We close out the week on a relatively dry note. Take care. Im Babita Sharma with bbc world news.
