That Special Report from liverpool by ed thomas on the marked increase in knife crime over the past three years. President trump is signing more executive orders. He says today is his big day on security and hes confirmed that hes taking action on one of his most prominent campaign promises, to build a wall along the us border with mexico. Tonight mr trump said he expected construction to start within months and that planning was already underway. 0ur correspondent james cook reports from the us mexico border. Donald trump signatures pledge is now one step closer to reality, with a stroke of his pen, the new president ordered the construction of a great wall on the Mexican Border. It would begin, he said, within months. A nation without borders is not a nation. Beginning today, the United States of america gets back control of its borders. Were going to get the bad ones out. The criminals and the drug deals and gangs and gang members and cartel leaders. The day is over when they can stay in our country and wreck havoc. Strengthening and extending the existing barrier on this frontier will be hugely expensive. Mr trump has always insisted that mexico will pay, but mexico say it wont and the president now admits american taxpayers will have to cough up first. Ultimately, it will come out of whats happening with mexico. Were going to be starting those negotiations relatively soon and we will be in a form reimbursed by mexico. So theyll pay us back . Yes. Absolutely. 100 . So the american taxpayer will pay for the wall at first . All it is is, well be reimbursed at a later date. But here in the Mexican Border city, Business Leaders are worried about the impact on trade and sceptical about the president s plans. The problem is that the majority of americans are not really familiar with the border and, consequently the idea of a wall seems to be appealing. We already have one. We call it the tortilla curtain, but the truth of the matter is that, you know, i think thats a symbol. This fence at the Pacific Ocean is the very start of the land border between mexico and the United States and President Trump has always said he wants to build a much taller, a much better, much bigger wall, stretching all the way from here, nearly 2,000 miles to texas. This land is your land this land is my land. But even in liberal california theres backing for President Trumps hardline on immigration, not least from these supporters who call themselves the trumpettes. I think its a good thing. You know i always say my scripture is, i sought for a man who build a wall. I was reading that the other day and it just stuck out in my spirit because we need protection, and i pray for america and i pray that god will shore up the border of our nation. As well as the wall, President Trump is promising to deport immigrants who commit crimes, to cut funding to states like california which refuse to arrest most illegal aliens and to hire 10,000 more enforcement agents. His actions are bold, sweeping and intensely divisive. James cook, bbc news, on the us mexico border. 0ur north america editor, jon sopel, is at the white house. The president promised a big day on security, but it has gone way beyond that . Way beyond that. He has been talking about much wider issues. Talking about some enhanced Interrogation Techniques that may be appropriate to be used either cia when questioning terrorists in future. He was asked in that interview, do you think that Water Boarding works . He said, i want to do everything within the bounds of what you are allowed to do legally, but do i feel it works . Absolutely i feel it works. He talked about the need to Fight Fire With fire. He said he would leave it to his Defence Secretary and cia chief. The cia chief has been more sympathetic towards it. The Defence Secretary said, you know what would be more effective . Give me a packet of cigarettes and two bottles of beer and the person i am interrogating is likely to respond better to that. There is also a document circulating, which looks like a d raft circulating, which looks like a draft executive order, which talks about all of those things that seemed to belong to a different political era, enhanced interrogation, Water Boarding, all of the things that were from the bosch era. George bush era War On Terror seemed to be considered again. The Prime Minister has decided she is prepared to publish a more detailed Government Paper on the strategy for brexit. Theresa may said she recognised there was an appetite for a white paper after number of conservative mps joined labour in asking for a paper to be published. The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that mrs may could not begin the Brexit Process without pa rliaments approval. 0ur deputy Political Editor john pienaar reports. Remember him in the goggles . A once dominant pm out on his ear when britain chose brexit. What happens next . David camerons Doing Charity Work now, today visiting a medical research lab. Reporter are you worried about defeat Prime Minister . Now, his successors got her hands full with the tactical battle for brexit. And today, theresa may kept a half step ahead of her critics. Shed outlined her brexit game plan in a big speech, they wanted it in black and white. And as the time came for questions. A concession. Shed held off promising mps a policy paper, but now. I can confirm to the house that our plan will be set out in a white paper, published in this house. Jeremy corbyn was caught on the hop. Could we know when this white paper is going to be available to us . But he ploughed on. Will they withdraw the threats to destroy the social structure of this country by turning us into the Bargain Basement she clearly threatens . But the Prime Ministers kept the initiative and the brexit paper is unlikely to tell mps more than they know now. It was an easy concession for theresa may to make, but tory mps, worried about brexit, welcomed it. Shes also keen to appear ahead of the game when she visits donald trump in the white house later this week. And she told mps she wont duck policy differences. I am not afraid to speak frankly to a president of the United States. Im able to do that because we have that special relationship. Mps queued to offer issues where she could take on the new president. He must abide by and not withdraw from the paris Climate Change treaty. President trump has repeatedly said that he will bring back torture as an instrument of policy. When she sees him on friday, will the Prime Minister make clear that in no circumstances will she permit britain to be dragged into facilitating that torture . Will the Prime Minister tell President Trump that she is not prepared to lower our food and Safety Standards or to open Health Systems for privatisation . Her answer, she and her government would stand their ground. We will put uk interests and uk values first. Another former Prime Ministers been in brussels, tony blair knows getting close to the white house at the wrong time can end badly. Mps on all sides are anxious theresa may remembers that lesson. John pienaar, bbc news, westminster. Theres news tonight that royal bank of scotland, which is mostly owned by the taxpayer, is to set aside another 4 billion to pay fines for mis selling. Our business editor, simonjack, is here with more details. What can you tell us, simon . Its another massive body blow for rbs. They have been setting aside in the kitty to pay this monster fine for its role in selling risky mortgages. That kitty is now at 10 billion if you add in this 4 billion. This will put rbs in a bigger loss in 2016. The ninth year in a row that rbs has lost money. I should say this was not unexpected. Nor is it final. The final bill may be much higher than 10 billion. Rbs had hoped to settle all of this at the beginning of this month, before the new administration comes in. It remains to be seen whether the new administration is more 01 whether the new administration is more or less lenient on foreign banks which have caused misconduct. Its frustrating for the management of rbs. Very frustrating for taxpayers. It will be even further until we get our money back. As painful as this is, maybe we are taking one step towards the end of this very long, very dark tunnel, it seems to be it will be another couple of years, at least, many several years couple of years, at least, many several yea rs before we couple of years, at least, many several years before we get our money back. It remains to be seen. I expect that as early as tomorrow morning around 7. 00am. 0k simon. Simonjack there morning around 7. 00am. 0k simon. Simon jack there for us, morning around 7. 00am. 0k simon. Simonjack there for us, our business editor, with the latest on that business story.

Rescue teams in italy have found more bodies in the ruins of a ski resort hotel that was hit by an avalanche last week. In all, 24 people were killed with 5 people still missing. 0ur rome correspondent James Reynolds has been speaking to two survivors. How many of us will ever know what its like to come back to life . On saturday Vincenzo Forti and Giorgia Galassi were pulled from the hotel. The couple had been trapped underground for 59 hours. This afternoon we met them at home, they told me what happened when the avalanche hit. Translation it felt like a bomb, i felt glass exploding and it felt as if an entire wall had hit me. Somewhere underneath these tonnes of snow and debris they were jammed together in a tiny space. Translation i looked at vincenzo and he saw i was panicking, the first thing he told me was, we have got to be calm. We just have to wait. I touched him to see if we were 0k, if we were injured. We were lucky, we were alive. I thought we would be trapped for a week. I didnt want to tell her. After two days, rescuers made contact with them. Translation when we heard a rescuer, it was as if an angel was talking to us. As if someone had come to pick us up, literally, from under the ground. I was born again. It was a miracle. Ifeel as if ive been brought to the world for a second time. And this time not by my mum, but by god. They survived, but many others died. A week on, rescuers continue to search for those still missing under the snow. James reynolds, bbc news, central italy. British scientists have identified 14 new disorders affecting children after analysing the genes of thousands of children with rare, undiagnosed conditions. Identifying the genes responsible should lead to a greater understanding of the serious disorders which affect the development of the brain and body and might eventually lead to treatments. 0ur medical correspondent, fergus walsh, has the story. Caitlin, so nice to meet you. Hello. A big moment for these two families, meeting for the first time. Ten year old tamika and nine year old caitlin have the same newly identified Genetic Condition, called cdk 13 disorder. There are only 11 known cases in the uk. The girls are so alike, they could be sisters. Living so close, we could have easily bumped into each other. Do you think we would have gone home with the wrong child . Looking at them, it would have been easy, they are so similar. Its quite amazing to finally come across somebody who also has a child so different to anybody elses child and yet, here we are, and they are like twins. They are. To look at them, they are so similar, arent they . The developmental disorder affects the girls learning and communication. Why do you think you took the wrong child . Tamika has good language skills, caitlin has only a few words. It gives me hope as well, seeing tamika talking so much. It definitely gives me hope that caitlyns speech will form. This is where caitlin and tamikas Genetic Condition was identified, at the Wellcome Trust sanger institute, near cambridge. They mapped their genes and found an identicalfault in their dna, but the mutation was not passed on by their parents, so how is that possible . Each of us inherits half our dna from our mother, through the egg and our father in the sperm. Sometimes, when those genes are passed on, spontaneous mutations occur that cause rare developmental disorders in children. The older the parents, the more likely that is to happen. Scientists here have identified 14 new developmental disorders and calculated that one in every 300 babies will be affected by a spontaneous Genetic Condition, not carried in their parents dna. In the uk, that amounts to around 2,000 children every year. The research, in the journal nature, provides reassurance for many families all over the country. The discoveries end the long odyssey that these parents have had trying to find the underlying cause of their childs condition. It provides them with the risk for future pregnancies. Which, for these conditions, is actually very low. And it provides opportunities for research into the causes and possible therapies that might be applied. Katya was told last year that she had not passed on tamikas Genetic Condition and that gave her confidence to have another child, timo, whos unaffected. Both families say being part of this research has been hugely rewarding. Its like belonging to a club or a new found family. Yes. It has felt like weve been, for the whole nine years, that weve just been on our own, that theres been no one else out there. But now, knowing that there are other families. All changed . Yes, completely. Yeah. Fergus walsh, bbc news. Usain bolt, the record breaking jamaican sprinter, will have to hand back one of his nine olympic gold medals after one of his team mates in the 4x100 metres relay at the beijing games, nesta carter, tested positive for a banned substance when samples were re analysed. The gold medal was one of those which made up bolts famous triple triple, as Katie Gornall tells us. In a sport measured in fractions of a second, this was an astonishing feat of longevity. Commentator the tripletriple hes done it. Usain bolts nine fold medals, at three different 0lympics, was unprecedented. Now, through no fault of his own, that history has been tarnished. The reason lies with this man, nesta carter, bolts team mate in the relay at the 2008 beijing 0lympics. His start propelled jamaica both to gold and to a world record. But last year, carters sample from these games was retested and today he was found guilty of doping. Under the ioc rules, the whole team is now disqualified. Its an outcome that bolt has feared for some time. I asked him about it back in august, in his hometown of kingston. At any point, if i lose one of my medals, itd be devastating and stressful, do you know what i mean . To know that, after all that hard work, this would happen. But i think the sport is in a really bad place now and the only place it can go right now is up. It must be hard as well because the triple triple is such a special achievement . Its very, very, very special, but well see. Fingers crossed. Sadly, whilst bolt stood clean, his rivals have fallen around him. Justin gatlin has been banned twice forfailing drugs tests. Tyson gay has tested positive for an Anabolic Steroid and his fellow jamaican, asafa powell, has served a six month ban. Today, nesta carter was found to have taken the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine. You cant re run the race, you cant get those medals back. And i think, in usain bolts case, after what we saw in rio, we all now know that that was his last olympic games. So its gone from those nine medals, that were unbelievable, to eight medals. But its still unbelievable what he achieved in his career. Bolt will now have to hand back one of his precious medals, still hell retire with his legacy intact. Katie gornall, bbc news. Football, and southampton have progressed to the final of the English Football League cup after beating liverpool at anfield. a late goal by shane long secured the second leg of the tie, giving southampton a 2 0 aggregate win. Hull city play Manchester United tomorrow to decide who theyll face in the final. One of american televisions best loved stars, Mary Tyler Moore, has died at the age of 80. Hes probably sitting out there right now thinking that im. Boy, i dont blame him. Look what i did . 0h. In the 1960s, the Mary Tyler Moore show was among the biggest programmes on us television. She also had some success in films, with an oscar nomination for ordinary people. Shed been seriously ill for two years and her representative said she died in the company of family and friends. One of the leading figures of the fashion industry, alexandra shulman, is stepping down as the Editor In Chief of British Vogue. Shes been in charge for more than a quarter of a century, making her the magazines longest serving editor. Ms shulman said it was a hard to decision to leave the magazine, but she explained that she very much wanted to experience a different life. 0ur arts correspondent, rebecca jones, reports. She persuaded the Duchess Of Cambridge to appear on the front cover of vogue, following in the footsteps of the princess of wales, the singer and designer Victoria Beckham and the model, kate moss. Im not keen on that. Alexandra shulman has been in charge of choosing some of the most memorable images in British Fashion. I mean, her leg does not look great in this. This is kind of like way too much union jack, the other one would be better to try. Do you think . Yeah. Ijust thought that was more. Had more movement to it or. Well, its not going to get my vote. 0k. We need cutting edge beauty and a cutting edge. And Herformer Deputy at vogue, susie forbes, knows about alexandra shulmans Straight Forwa rd approach better than most. Shes never been afraid to take risks and Ruffle Feathers and get people in the industry to improve on any wider shortcomings that she sees as something she should take the world to task about. Such as . Such as body image, diversity and, basically, just championing British Fashion, and thats what they does all over the world. And vogues publishers said shed been the towering figure of the British Fashion press throughout her time in charge, promoting designers Likejohn Galliano and alexander mcqueen. Shes played a key role in nurturing and wearing british talent, including this dress by erdem. Nonetheless, she stood out on the front row as the Down To Earth face of fashion. Unlike other ultra slim, ultra stylish editors, she made her mark by looking normal and while she admitted to anxiety, she kept it well hidden, as a recent documentary revealed. You dont seem like someone who would carry much stress with you though . No, i know. Its amazing that, isnt it . Ive never seemed like somebody who carries stress with me
