Sees anti abortion legislation and the dumping of a major trade deal. But what will the next 99 days bring . Good evening and welcome to bbc news. President trump has opened his first full week in office by signing an order formally withdrawing the us from a major free trade deal with pacific rim countries. The tra ns Pacific Partnership was negotiated by the Obama Administration but it was never ratified by congress. The white house confirmed trade would feature prominently in the president s talks with theresa may later this week as our North America Editorjon Sopel reports. Weve been talking about this for a long time. The power of the pen, Executive Orders signed by the president as he starts his first week in thejob. President as he starts his first week in the job. Another order sets in trade plans to renegotiate the nafta agreement with mexico and canada. Afar nafta agreement with mexico and canada. A far more complex undertaking. And there is to be a freeze on recruitment for federal jobs. One other Executive Order particularly eye catching that was signed today was that aid agencies in receipt of Us Government funds will now no longer be able to offer abortions or advice on abortions in their fieldwork around the world. Now this has been a political football going back for decades with democrats resending it, republicans reimposing it, but its an important indication of where donald trump stands on this issue and what may be the future Social Policy for america as well. Mark was so nice with the plant. Coming back, Iwanted To Sit next to him. Laughter but this is the real focus. Forget the cheerful bonhomie, the president must deliver on the economy and he intends to wield both a carrot and a stick. First the stick. A company. A company that wants to fire all its people in the United States and build some factories someplace else and then thinks that that product is then just going to flow across the border into the United States, thats not going to happen. Theyre going to have a border tax to pay, a substantial border tax. And finally the carrot. What were doing is were going to be cutting taxes massively for both the middle class and for companies. And thatis middle class and for companies. And that is massive. At his first ball press briefing, the focus of his spokesman was press briefing, the focus of his spokesman was on press briefing, the focus of his spokesman was on jobs and trade. Will there be a detailed discussion when Prime Minister made comes on friday on the potential parameters on what a trade deal might look like . Were here on working day one, were excited Prime Minister made is coming on friday, we look forward to it, im sure the discussion of trade will come up, the degree to which i dont know yet and im sure we will have an opportunity to brief you, i dont think we have plans right now for a joint Press Conference but thats something we will be working oii thats something we will be working on with Prime Minster May and well keep you updated. But after a finger wagging lecture delivered to the press at the weekend when he may not have been entirely truthful himself, this question. Is it your intention to always tell the truth from that podium and will you pledge to never knowingly Say Something that isnt factual . Yes. Its an honour to do this and yes i believe we have to be honest with the american people, sometimes we can disagree with the facts. The president a short time ago met Union Leaders and looked behind him, it seems like mr spicer, after a heap of criticism at the weekend, was getting a vote of confidence from the counsellor to the president. Its going to be a rollercoaster ride. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. Theresa may has again refused to say whether or not an unarmed Trident Missile veered off course during a test last year. The defence secretary sir Michael Fallon told mps that the system was successfully tested lastjune but he would not provide any other details for reasons of National Security. Labour mps have Accused Ministers of a cover up and say the Prime Minister should clarify how much she knew when she urged mps to renew the system in a vote last year. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has the latest. Set Condition Iso for weapons system readiness test. Pressing the nuclear button. Action stations. A process that is practised and practised. The hope it never happens for real. Butjust before theresa may took charge, a test like this of a missile maintained in the us didnt go according to plan. Yesterday, theresa may refused to say if she knew. Prime minister, did you know . There were tests that take place all the time regularly for our nuclear deterrents. What we were talking about in that. Ok, im not going to get an answer to this. It matters because the trial appears to have gone wrong with just weeks before her new government asked mps to approve billions of pounds to keep the weapons. Were launching the strategy here. Having failed to answer yesterday, today on a cabinet visit, the Prime Minister had to admit she did know. Im regularly briefed on National Security issues. I was briefed on the successful certification of Hms Vengeance and her crew. We dont comment on the operational details. This Spectacular Misfire in the Late 80s Of An American Trident Missile is rare. The vast majority of tests have been successful. Order. Urgent question. And its not clear what went wrong with this weapons trial. But labour has found a lot wrong with the governments handling of the facts. At the heart of this issue is a worrying lack of transparency and a Prime Minister whos chosen to cover up a serious incident rather than coming clean with the british public. This house, and more importantly the british public, deserve better. The details of the demonstration and shakedown operation i am not going to discuss publicly on the floor of this house. We simply want to know was this test successful or not . Should we believe the white house official who, while we have been sitting here debating, has confirmed to cnn that the missile did auto Self Destruct off the coast of florida . Once stories get out there that a missile may have failed, isnt it better to be quite frank about it . There are always some things that government wants to keep from mps and the rest of us, but this time, theresa mays hope of Staying Quiet seems to have backfired. The most straightforward questions, like who knew what, can be the trickiest of all. The political arguments over whether wed need Nuclear Weapons are controversial enough. A fight over whether they work is a Battle Ministers would rather not have. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. An investigation into the death of an inmate at Chelmsford Prison has found a series of failures contributed to his suicide. Dean saunders, who was 25, killed himself last january. The investigation found he should have been in hospital, rather than in prison, and that staff had ignored significant risk factors. Our social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan has the story. Dean saunders had no previous history of mental illness. But, in december, 2015, the young dad suddenly became paranoid and delusional, convinced he had to kill himself. The hand with the knife was free and, this time, hed come down to actually put it in his. To put it in his heart. Mark, deans father, put his life on the line. On the kitchen floor, he struggled to get the knife from his son. He was stabbed several times and at one point he held the knife in his own stomach. At that time, i thought, i cant let him have this knife. And i put my hand over the top of his, so he couldnt pull it out. He tried. As he pulled it out, i held it in. I could not let him have that knife. Dean was charged with Attempted Murder and remanded in custody at Chelmsford Prison, initially on constant watch. Within days, a crucial meeting took place. Three members of staff, none of whom were medically trained, none of whom had read deans notes, decided to reduce his observations from constant watch to every half hour. His family pleaded with the prison not to do it. They were ignored. Last january, dean did kill himself. Todays report found numerous problems in his care, including a failure to properly appreciate his risk of suicide. It all points to a crisis in our prisons, in particular the way in which people with Mental Ill Health are treated. Ministers say theyre investing millions to make prison safer but for deans family, its all too late. I cant handle knowing that he died on his own, away from family that was so important to him. And they had done nothing at all. Nothing. Michael buchanan, bbc news, essex. A Murder Investigation has been launched following the death of a teenage boy in in north west london. Police were called to the scene in willseden and a 15 year old boy was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The homicide and major crime command are investigating and his next of kin have been informed. Theresa may has unveiled plans for a new industrial strategy, focusing on science, technology and infrastructure. Its part of a blueprint for the economy after brexit. Outlining the plans the Prime Minister said it would mean a more active role for the government, but critics say it doesnt go far enough. Our Business Editor simon jack has more. Growing an economy for the 21st century. This biotech firm is trying to increase crop yields, reduce Fertiliser Use and provide high paying jobs. Most conservative governments have preferred a hands off approach to business. Not this government. What this is about is creating the right conditions for the future economy for the uk. As we leave the European Union im ambitious for the opportunities available to us, building a truly global britain. But we need to ensure that our economy is working for everyone, working in every part of the country. The governments ten point plan includes investment in research and development in high growth sectors. £170 million for technical colleges to improve skills. And Infrastructure Investment targeted to fit regional needs. I think its absolutely essential and its been too long in coming. And its all about co ordination, and directed and focused input to meet the needs of the economy of this country. And why wouldnt we be doing it if its going to bring us the skills we need in a co ordinated way, with the key Industry Sectors that have the most potential for growth based on our scientific ability . The government wants businesses of the future, like biotechnology or life science, to grow. But with limited amounts of new money available, the fear is that while some sectors will be cultivated, others may wither, leaving behind the workers in those industries. I dont think we can afford to leave any sector behind in an industrial strategy, particularly given so many millions of workers are employed in areas like retail, food, care, where wages are often too low and investment too scarce. So it has to be a Holistic Industrial Policy for the whole country. Previous attempts to get involved In Industrial Strategy have met with abject failure. Millions were poured in to British Leyland for example, to know avail. The strategy that somewhat ironically became known as picking winners. Modern Industry Leaders say this is different. Picking winners is much more about picking the company or the final product. What i think you are seeing here is much earlier in the cascade of economic growth. This is all about building skills, building capabilities, Building Base technologies. These are just proposals at this stage but ones the governments hopes will inject new life to a post brexit economy. Simonjack, bbc news, nottingham. Now its time for newsnight with emily maitlis. Donald trumps Press Secretary pledges to tell the facts as he knows them but berates the media for constantly undermining president trump. Over and over again theres this constant attempt to undermine his credibility and the movement he represents. And its frustrating, for notjust him but i think so many of us who are trying to get this message out. On his first day in office, the new president dumps a major trade deal. What will this tell us about the direction americas taking from here . We ask senator bernie sanders. Well, trump says he wants to help the american worker. Over here, our own government set out its ideas for britain a new industrial strategy. Is it better than the old ones . The former business secretary, lord mandelson, and the current one, greg clarke, are both with us. Also tonight, the Trident Missile that went awol. Well look at the political fallout. And Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, thomas friedman, on trump and facts. If you engage with him too much, too often and too closely, he will actually suck your brains out, because he is such an indecent person, capable of such indiscreet behaviour. Good evening from washington. One year ago, before the New Hampshire primary, i asked donald trump, in person, what he would do on his first day in the white house. So many things, he told me, you wont believe it
