Relax, ive got you, i promise. And after the oscars were criticised for being too white, could this film be about to break the mould . And coming up in Sportsday On Bbc News Arsene Wenger is given a four match Touchline Ban for his altercation with a premier League Official against burnley last sunday. Good evening. Donald trump and theresa may have hailed a new era of relations between america and britain, after meeting at the white house. Its President Trumps first talks there with any foreign leader since taking power. The Prime Minister told a News Conference mr trump had given what she called his 100 backing to nato, despite his recent comments that its obsolete. She confirmed that the queen has invited President Trump to make a state visit to britain this year, and that he has accepted. There was also talk of a future trade deal, but no detail. Laura kuenssberg reports. Everyone is paying attention. Our Prime Minister, the first foreign leader to make their way, oh so carefully into the trump white house, the first foreign leader to ta ke house, the first foreign leader to take the risk and the opportunity to be greeted at the side door of 1600 pennsylvania ave. Stepping into the lights. Alongside the ringmaster of his own circus. Today, the United States renews our deep bond with britain, military, financial, cultural and political. We have one of the great bonds. We pledge our lasting support to this most Special Relationship. Can i start by saying that im so pleased that ive been able to be here today, and thank you for inviting me so soon after your inauguration. And im delighted to be able to congratulate you on what was a stunning election victory. I have today been able to convey her magister the queens hope that President Trump and the first lady would pay a state visit to the United Kingdom later this year and im delighted the president has accepted that invitation. And after the small talk, an achievement for theresa may, a promise from the president on nato, the vital Defence Alliance which he had said risked being obsolete. On defence and security cooperation, we are united in our recognition of nato was the bulwark of our collective defence and today, weve reaffirmed our unsha keable and today, weve reaffirmed our unshakeable commitment to this alliance. Mr president , i think you concerned you are 100 behind nato. For keen watchers of the oval 0ffice, for keen watchers of the oval office, the bust of churchill moved back into the room. The original, this is the original in many ways. Easier to do than commit to a rapid trade deal. Much mentioned in the run up, but no guarantee. But the president was eager to remind britain he was always behind brexit. Isaid britain he was always behind brexit. I said brexit is going to happen and i was spawned in the press for making that prediction. I was scorned. I said, making that prediction. I was scorned. Isaid, i believe its going to happen because people want to know whos coming into their country and they want to control their own trade and various things, and lo and behold, the following day, it happened. And the odds were not looking good for me when i made that statement come up, because as you know everybody thought it was not going to happen. I think brexit is going to be a wonderful thing for your country. Laura . Thank you very much, Prime Minister. Mr president , you have said before that torture works, give praised russia, you have said you want to ban some muslims from coming to america, you suggested there should be punishment for abortion. For many people in britain, those sound like alarming beliefs. What do you say to our viewers at home who are worried about some of your views, and worried about you becoming leader of the free world . This was your choice ofa the free world . This was your choice of a question . Laughter there goes that relationship we have a great general, who hasjust been appointed secretary of defence, generaljames mattis. And he has stated, publicly, that he does not necessarily believe in torture, or waterboarding, or however you want to define it, enhanced interrogation i guess would be a word that a lot of words, people like to use. I dont necessarily agree, but i would tell you that he will override, because im giving him that power. Prime minister, youve talked about where you agree, but youve also said you would be frank where you disagree with the president. Can you tell is wearing our talks you did disagree, and do you think that the president listened to what you have to say . And mr president , you. Laughter cani laughter can i confirm, ive been listening to the president and the president has been listening to me, thats the point of having a conversation under dialogue, and we have been discussing a number of topics. Well carry on after this Press Conference, meeting and discussing a numberof other conference, meeting and discussing a number of other topics. And there will be times when we disagree, and issues on which we disagree. The point of the Special Relationship is we are able to have that open and frank discussion, so that we are able to make that clear when it happens. But im clear also that there are many issues on which the United Kingdom and United States stand alongside one another. Many issues on which we agree. I think, asi issues on which we agree. I think, as i said yesterday in mice beach, that we are to moment now when we can build an Even Stronger Special Relationship, which will be not of just the United States and United Kingdom but in the interests of the wider world as well. Could they be friends . The careful leader, who surprised herself ending up in power than she could have imagined, the star of his own reality show, the white house the twist in the plot. |j can tell you, i think we are going to get along very well. Im a people person, i think you are as well, theresa. I can often tell how i get along with somebody very early and i think well have a fantastic relationship. The flash and perform all were side by side at the podium, but far from all were side by side at the podium, but farfrom being all were side by side at the podium, but far from being an awkward encounter the leaders lavished praise on each other, trying hard to appear relaxed and each others company. This was so much more than a big day out for theresa may. Just one important moment. Wevejust seen the first steps in a relationship that will shape her leadership and the country. Even World Leaders need a hand now undergoing. The president and the Prime Ministers classed as they made their way down the steps. So much is uncertain, there is much to gain, get that grip may prove too close. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, at the white house. Our Business Editor simonjack is with me. A key objective of these talks was to talk trade. It was referred to in the Press Conference after the meeting but there was no detail. It was a sideshow. Traders are Co Mforta Ble it was a sideshow. Traders are comfortable subject they can talk about and one of the things raised in the Press Conference by laura. We have a pretty good trading relationship with the us already. The us is the number one destination, single country destination, single country destination, for british exports, 2596 destination, for british exports, 25 go there. The number the un of uks number one place for foreign investment, so its not a broken relationship that needs fixing. Its more political. Donald trump needs a deal so he can prove to everyone that hes not a wall building protectionist, the distracts from the mexico thing, and the pm needs a deal, to show we have powerful friends who are outside the eu, waiting to embrace as the minute we are out. Its a political win for both sides. The reality is, theres different details, for example they washed their chicken in chlorine and give their cows growth hormones, we dont. We have different drug approval mechanisms. The political will is definitely there. The detail of thrashing that out is still pretty formidable. Simon, thank you. As well as talking to theresa may, President Trump had an hour long Phone Conversation with his mexican counterpart, as part of a bid to resolve who will pay for the much talked about wall along the mexican border. And in an indication of his views on the contentious issue of abortion in america, the Vice President indicated that mr trump will ensure his choice for one of the countrys top judges is pro life. Jon sopel reports. Forget theresa mays visit to dc, the big public event in washington today was a demonstration by Tens Of Thousands of pro life campaigners, demanding a toughening of the abortion laws. This is an annual event, but the people who turned out feel they are on the cusp of bringing about a major shift in us social policy. They feel they have a president in tune with them. Perhaps more in tune than the woman brought in to sing the national anthem. President trump has made clear he wants a conservative pro life to fill the vacant seat on the supreme court, and he sent his Vice President along to address the crowds, the most senior government representative ever to speak to this group. This administration will work with congress to end Taxpayer Funding of abortion and abortion providers, and we will devote those resources to Health Care Services for women across america. Life is winning again in america. But winning over mexico to pay for the border wall is proving more difficult. Yesterdays bizarre war of words on social media between the two president s ended with the mexican Head Of State pulling out of a trip next week to washington. Today, twitter diplomacy was replaced by the more Old Fashioned kind speaking privately. And at his News Conference, tellingly, no mention of the wall and who was going to pay for it. We are no longer going to be the country that doesnt know what its doing. So we are going to renegotiate our trade deals, and we are going to renegotiate other aspects of our relationship with mexico. And in the end i think it will be good for both countries. Its hard to believe it is only a week since the inauguration of President Trump, such is the pace at which events have unfolded. His first meeting with a foreign leader completed, a raft of Executive Orders, and there seems to be no letting up in the pace. And a short time ago the president went to the pentagon to meet his senior commanders, to discuss a change of strategy and intensification of the fight against so called islamic state. So help me god. He also oversaw the swearing in of his new defence secretary, james mattis. This former general is pro nato, anti torture and a russian sceptic. And for those reasons, a figure of considerable reassurance to americas longstanding allies. It has been quite a first week for President Trump. First of all, his meeting today with theresa may. A success . Meeting today with theresa may. A success . Yes, theresa may will be leaving washington feeling that was mission accomplished, a job well done. It was a diplomatic coup in the first place for the british to be the first foreign nation to come and meet the new president is his inauguration. Secondly, the atmospherics were good. She has built up something of a rap or. Thirdly, she got some concessions. That point on nato was important and a lot of european nations were looking for Something Like that from donald trump. And it sets the framework. The trade deal is a long way off but if she feels this is someone way off but if she feels this is someone she can do business with, as seems to be the case, they will be well pleased with that. His first week in office has not been dahlen and he has just week in office has not been dahlen and he hasjust signed another controversial Executive Order. And he hasjust signed another controversial Executive Orderlj and he hasjust signed another controversial Executive Order. I am just reading some of the content, establishing new Vetting Measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the United States. We dont want them here, he said a few moments ago at the pentagon. The detail of the Executive Order we are still finding out and it will emerge later, but what a dizzying week it has been. It is hard to believe it was only a week ago that the inauguration took place. On all sorts of france there has been huge energy, lots of action. The deals are not done in terms of what the policy will mean. Donald trump remains as divisive as ever but few americans can doubt his energy levels, given what we have just witnessed. Thank you. Plans to cut knee and Hip Replacement Operations in worcestershire have been described as alarming by the Royal College of surgeons. Three Commissioning Groups in the county say very obese patients, and those who are in only moderate pain, will not qualify for the surgery. They say the plan will save £2 million a year, but is it fair . Hugh pym has been taking a look. Hes due to have a Hip Operation which would make hisjob as a tour guide much easier, but gordon has been waiting more than six months with no sign of an appointment yet. He can be in a lot of pain. His experience shows how debilitating a long wait for an operation can be. 0ccasionally, i will wake up and you try to move and its a really sharp pain. Im on my own, so i shout out. It doesnt matter. Its one way of getting relief on it. Its certainly affecting my daily life. In gordons local area in worcestershire, the nhs will be tightening the criteria, making it even more difficult to get a new hip or knee. A Scoring System based on a questionnaire by patients will be used to assess who needs surgery. In effect, they have to be in more pain, or less mobile than they currently would, to qualify. But senior doctors say the policy is unfair on patients. The patient continues to suffer and the nhs fails to help them. It is not the first time local Commissioning Groups in england have reduced care to save money. The three groups in worcestershire have followed one in shropshire in restricting hip and knee surgery. Vale of york and harrogate have announced restrictions on all surgery for some, unless they lose weight, and another trend thats been seen is cuts in ivf treatment, including in mid and North East Essex and south east norfolk. The finances in the nhs are constrained and demand is rising. And so in that environment we have to make some difficult decisions about the services we commission. We have to prioritise services where patients will get the most benefit, and we have to make sure we get the best for the nhs pound in our area. This comes at a time when there have been calls for a cross party and public debate on the future of the nhs in england. The key question is, should the nhs continue with the funding already allocated, even if it means possible cuts to some services, or does it need new funding to bring it in line with Health Spending in some other leading european economies . The Welsh Government said there were no financial restrictions on routine surgery. Scotland is investing more in specialist centres, but around the uk, the debate on the best use of resources for the nhs is as vocal as ever. Hugh pym, bbc news. A brief look at some of the days other news stories. The boss of a haulage firm and a mechanic have beenjailed for the manslaughter of four people who were killed when a tipper truck, with faulty brakes, Ran Out Of Control and crashed in bath last year. Matthew gordon was jailed for seven years and peter wood for five years. The victims included four year old mitzi steady. British airways cabin crew will stage a further six days of industrial action next month, in a dispute over pay. The strikes were announced by the unite union. Its urged ba to get to the negotiating table. Ba says they will have Contingency Plans in place. And the governments Spending Watchdog has told the Ministry Of Defence that if its to pay for new ships, aircraft and vehicles, it needs to make almost £6 billion in Additional Savings over the next ten years. The mod says its convinced its plan will deliver the best value for the taxpayer. Tesco, the uks biggest supermarket, has agreed to buy the countrys biggest food wholesaler, the booker group, in a deal worth nearly £4 billion. Booker supplies everything from baked beans to tea bags to 700,000 corner shops, grocers, pubs and restaurants. The two firms said the deal would create the uks leading food business, but it may need approval from the competition authority. Emma simpson has more. Tesco already has the lions share of what we spend in the supermarket aisles. But what we put in our trollies is only half of the food we consume. Heres the other half. From eating out to food on the go. This Fast Growing Market is what tesco wants a slice of. It has struck a deal to buy booker. You may not have heard of it but this Wholesaler Supplies Thousands of pubs, restaurants, caterers and corner shops. Tesco says joining forces makes sense. The Uk Population is passionate about its food, its changing the way that it wants to consume food at home, on the go. It wants delivery, it wants a greater service, and the combination of our businesses allows us to serve those customers better than either of us can do individually on our own. Tesco is already big, and with this deal it will become an even more powerfulforce in the food industry. And that might not be to everyoness taste. Booker does not know in these Convenience Stores but it does own the brands, and it supplies the food for the thousands of independent retailers who run them. I think some independent retailers will be very concerned about the idea of trading with a company that is ultimately their biggest competitor as well. Others will say, we might be able to get better prices out of this, better Buying Prices by the newly merged group which get passed on to the retailer and customer. Either way, it is a big, bold move for tesco but it will likely face scrutiny from the competition authorities before this deal reaches the checkout. Emma simpson, bbc news. A report from the Church Of England has agreed it should continue to oppose gay marriage. Here is our religious affairs correspondent, martin bashir. Two men are married in an anglican church. But its in the United States and wont be happening here. After three years of so called shared conversations, the Church Of England has asserted that marriage can only be between a man and a woman. The bishop behind todays report says that while the doctrine of marriage remains the same, the church must change its tone. Our test is to uphold the gospel and the scriptures and the tradition as we have received it but also to make sure that this is a church in which all lesbian and gay people, who are made in the image and likeness of god, like everyone else, are welcome and have a place. But lesbian and gay members of the church have reacted with disappointment, accusing the bishops of doing nothing to acknowledge the goodness or sanctity of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender relationships. They asked us to trust them. They asked us to work with them and the Gay Community did so over a three year period and we were told in that process, privately, if we did this, then we would see change and none of that has been honoured. I think thats a failure of leadership and a failure of duty. Conservative evangelicals, however, have expressed relief that the bishops have upheld the authority of scripture, against the impact of cultural change. I want the church to stand with the Teaching Ofjesus and My Understanding Isjesus taught very clearly that sex is for marriage and marriage is between a man and a woman. So, i want the church to continue to teach whatjesus taught on that issue, to try and find ways of commending that lovingly to the world around us. The publication of todays report, while unequivocal on the subject of marriage, is not the final word. In just over two weeks time, General Synod will convene and while the bishops have called for a more respectful and considerate tone, the debate is likely to be a fiery one. A member ofjeremy corbyns Shadow Cabinet has stepped down in protest at his decision to force mps to back the bill triggering the formal process leading to brexit. Shadow welsh Secretaryjo Stevens said she believed leaving the eu was a terrible mistake and that endorsing the bill would make it inevitable. It follows the resignation of another Senior Labour mp yesterday. Lets talk to chris mason at westminster. How damaging is this for mr corbyn . It is damaging. It is a problem. Lets be clear, there are fissures in every party on every issue, but this is a gaping chasm for labour on the Biggest Issue of our time. The ciux the Biggest Issue of our time. The crux of the problem is that most of the areas with a labour mp voted out in the referendum, but most labour mps in the referendum, but most labour m ps voted in the referendum, but most labour mps voted to remain. So what do they do . Some will decide they will back jeremy corbyn, they will back the will of the people. Some will find Something Else to do. They will add stein. 0thers Something Else to do. They will add stein. Others will decide that they have too defied jeremy corbyn. For some, that is because their area did vote remain and they want to reflect that. Forjeremy corbyn, he wants people to back the idea of the brexit, not least because there are by elections next month in seats that labour want to cling to which backed exit themselves. But for some labour mps this comes down to a point of principle. They say they wa nt to point of principle. They say they want to be on the right side of history, as they see it. Little wonder that the shadow brexit secretary, keir starmer, is said by some labour mps to deserve a second knighthood, because of the management of the faces at the moment among his colleagues. Its a film that tells the story of a Young African american coming to terms with his sexuality, and its received no less than eight 0scar nominations. Last seasons awards were criticised for their lack of diversity. But its writer and director, barryjenkins, insists the film is not a response to that. He was speaking to chi chi izundu. Youre my only. Im your only. Listen. To who . To you . Moonlight tells the semi autobiographical story of director barryjenkins, a young boy growing up in miami with a Crack Cocaine addicted mother. His own mother is now in rehab and is still one of the few in his inner circle not have seen this film. I dont know if she wants to see herself in that way. A friend pointed out to me, oh, no, i think she probablyjust doesnt want to see the main character, who is essentially you, be taken through this rough life, because it might bring out the guilt and shame. And i get that. But i hope what she would see is the movie was not made out of anything but tenderness and kindness towards her. What happened . Why you didnt come home like youre supposed to . This film comes at a time when the oscars are under severe scrutiny. Over the last two years, the term 0scars So White followed the awards because no one of colour had been nominated in any of the major categories. Moonlight didnt come along actually to say anything actually about anything but the characters in the film. You know, thats how i approach it. Like with 0scars So White, its being framed as a response, all these movies. And yet these movies have been in the Pipeline Forfour Orfive years. Let your head rest in my hand. Relax. The voting panel for the oscars changed last year. They increased the number of women and people from ethnic minorities, and the success of moonlight shows there is a hungerforfilms about black people. Theres this myth that black films dont play overseas, and yet here i am with altitude releasing my All Black Film in london. Its releasing in france, in germany, the netherlands, japan and australia as well. Barry was first shown the story in 2011. He and author Tarell Mccraney grew up in the same area and went to the same primary school, and their success has given hope to those living the life theyve left behind. There are kids back home who are watching this happen. That movie is in miami a lot now. Were talking about the ceiling. Did i break the ceiling . No. But i think the ceiling is raising for me. People back home are seeing, the ceiling, maybe it was here. Now, i guess its up here, because barryjenkins and tarell got nominated for eight academy awards, you know. So if i win, i hope it will make people back home proud, and that would be the most important thing to me. Thats it. Now its time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello and welcome to sportsday, im Lizzie Greenwood hughes. The headlines tonight Leicester Force A replay with derby in the opening match of the Fa Cup 11th Round. Arsenes Argy Bargy Against Blackburn earns him a four match Touchline Ban. And the old masters show how its done in melbourne as Nadaljoins Federer in the Australian Open final. So a cracking show and were starting with the Fa Cup 11th Round which began tonight. Championship promotion hopefuls derby at home to struggling premier League Champions leicester. A draw was certainly a strong possibility and thats exactly what we got. A good Old Fashioned 2 2 cup scramble and a replay to come. Patrick geary was watching the action for us. A perfect storm over pride park, a Raucous Regional Rivalry drenched in rain. A cup tie straight out of central casting which seemed to centre for sometime around the fall and rise of darren bent. Back, apparently, to help his defence. An awful goal. Darren bent cant believe it. Bent got himself involved in the penalty area he is more comfortable in and with a note, he cancelled out his own goal on the scoreboard if not in memories. Darby sensed they could get at leicester, their Confidence Draining away, and their Confidence Draining away, and the midfielders first goal of the season meant the championship side now lead. Finding themselves in a hostile situation, leicester tried foran hostile situation, leicester tried for an escape. They tried three times but derby still clung on. They made it into the final five minutes, but then their captain but his head in. The sequel to this will have to go some to live up to the original. What a cup tie. It was a great game, great atmosphere. As i said, proud of the players to come up against the champions and perform like that. Give them a good game. As i said, and other game against them. I look forward to it. Its a great tie for us. Forward to it. Its a great tie for us. Always we had to be concentrating, because too many times we conceded a goal. But that
