And london. This is bbc world news. Its newsday. Good morning. Its 9 00am in singapore, 1 00am in london and 8 00pm in new york, where donald trump has given details of his Foreign Policy goals. Speaking to the Times Newspaper at his office in manhattan, the President Elect spoke on a range of issues sure to reverberate around the world. He called nato obsolete though he insisted the Defence Organisation was still very important. And on trade he criticised china and said the system just wasnt working for america. Heres a little of what mr trump due to be inaugurated on friday had to say. The problem is the United States is a Lwa Ys The Problem is the United States is always taken the problem is the United States is always Ta Ken Advantage The Problem is the United States is always taken advantage of. We have Trade Deficit with the world you almost say, who is making these deals when you are losing that kind of money. Almost 100 billion of the Trade Deficit with the world so you say, who is making these deals . I love free trade but it has to be smart trade. So i call it fair trade. Heres what our washington Correspondent Laura Bicker made of that interview. Well, i think one of the key things that this interview has managed to do is put flesh on the bones when it comes to his Foreign Policy, much of which has remained unclearfor some time. Also what it highlights is this is a businessman, not a politician. And one of the key things for me, watching that interview, is how many times he talks about making deals, and who he is going to be making those deals with. So that, for me, was the key highlight of the interviews. And, when you talk about the inauguration, here in the capital, parts of it in lockdown, there are millions on their way here to see this President Elect taking his oath of office. And, when it comes to the call for change that came from the electorate within the us, what this Interview Shows is that is what they are going to get. And obviously there were wide ranging comments. We heard the one about free trade, he talked about nato, brexit as well. What has garnered the most response so far . Well, first of all, lets talk about his trade deals, and the deals that he wants to make. When it comes to deals, he said that he would be open to making a deal with britain very quickly, and he wanted it done properly. Which will delight the british Prime Minister, because obviously britain has voted to leave the european union, and they are looking for any people or any countries who will make deals after that planned exit. And then he wants to make a deal with russia, and this is where many people will raise those eyebrows. He wants to make a deal with russia whereby he will reduce sanctions, or even drop sanctions altogether, in response to them getting rid of their Nuclear Weapons arsenal. So that is one, certainly, area where i expect reaction within the next 2a hours. And then there is that deal within nato. He described nato as obsolete, and said he wanted a fairer deal for the us when it comes to defence. He says other nato countries arent paying theirfair share. Well, that is going to raise the hackles of some of those other countries. How much are they going to have to pay, and exactly what kind of deal does he want to come up with . So i expect those areas will get the majority of the response within the next 2a hours. Lets take a look at some of the days other news prosecutors in south korea say they will decide within hours whether to arrest Samsung Group leader, jy lee. Mr lee was questioned for 22 hours on friday, as part of an investigation into a Corruption Scandal that led to President Park geun hye being impeached. Prosecutors are deliberating factors, including the Economic Impact of arresting mr lee. Translation this is quite a significant matter, so it has been delayed from what we said on friday. Considering the complexity and gravity of the matter, we will make a decision no later than a News Briefing on monday. Also making News Today Police in the swiss capital, berne, have arrested 32 tibetan sympathisers, among several 100 protesting against the visit of the chinese president , xijinping. The protestors oppose chinese rule in tibet. Mr xi will hold bilateral talks with the swiss government on monday before going on to the World Economic forum in davos. Police in brazil now say 26 people were killed in overnight violence in the alcacuz prison, in the city of natal. The clash between rival gangs was brought under control early on sunday, after police stormed the prison. Forensic experts said most victims had been decapitated or mutilated. This was the third major riot in brazilian prisons this month. A spokesman for the president of the philippines has denied that Rodrigo Duterte will declare martial law if he wants to. In a speech on saturday, mr duterte said that martial law could be imposed if the drugs problem worsened. But, in a statement on sunday, his Communications Secretary criticised the media for misreporting the president s remarks. Indonesia and japan have pledged to co ordinate closely on maritime security, as both nations face an increasingly assertive china. Japans Prime Minister, shinzo abe, who is on a visit to indonesia, said it is important to solve the South China Sea conflict peacefully. Indonesia is not part of the dispute over claims in the South China Sea, but it objects to chinas claim to waters around the natuna islands. A very close escape court on camera in the czech republic. You see them making a swift run to the accent. Everybody made it to safetyjust in time because of that collapse. The cause is still unknown. New zealands new Prime Minister says he will continue to champion a major Asia Pacific Trade deal. Bill english has been speaking to the bbcs lucy hockings, in one of his first major interviews since taking office. Mr english said the trade deal was still alive, despite Donald Trumps vow to withdraw from the tra ns Pacific Partnership on his first day in office. We are a small, open economy. Trades our lifeblood. And, despite some of the Politics Around trade, we are firm advocates of being an open economy, getting more free trade deals. That is what lifts incomes on both ends of the deals. What is the future for tpp . Is it dead in the water . Well, look, these large, complex agreements never go in a straight line. So we will continue to advocate the deal itself, but also for Us Engagement in the asia pacific. That is so important to us, and to the region. So in time we will see how us Policy Position works out. But we remain optimistic that, in the asia pacific, wed be better off with the deal, better off with Us Engagement. Can you have a deal without the us . Because donald trump has said not, that the us will not be a signatory. I think that has yet to be seen. For many of the signatories, the us was the prize. For us there is also japan, as another large economy. So we willjust have to see how that plays out. What do you think of Donald Trumps leadership style, what you have seen from him so far . Well, it is certainly changing things. It has got attention. But it is really a matter for the us, as a democracy, to work out what they want, where they want to go. We have a long standing relationship and friendship with the us, and we believe they will continue to be a powerful economy, a big influence in our region, and we will work with them. What about this relationship, though, that he seems to be building up with china . It has been quite antagonistic. I think, from our point of view, having a Good Relationship with both of them, but certainly historically a closer relationship with the us, we have always anticipated that as china emerged as a strong, a large and strong economy, that theres bound to be pressures of some sort. Now, its in everyones interest in the future, as it has been, you know, in the last ten years or so, that the us and china find ways of resolving their differences. Fundamentally, because their own populations have benefited so much from each others economic strength. Would you go and have a game of golf with donald trump . Are you looking forward to meeting him . I am not quite good enough at golf. But i would hope to meet him at some stage. I suspect new zealand is low down on the list, but in the meantime we will continue to work with the us. Here is a culture clash story, if ever there was one. Eating dog meat is part of the culture in much of east asia. Western campaigners trying to disrupt this trade have been involved in mass Rescue Operations, saving the animals from slaughter and placing them in adoptive homes. One such operation is currently under way in korea. Some 200 animals have started their journey from a dog farm to new homes in britain and North America. Here is our korea correspondent steve evans. Destined for the butchers block until now, in cages in the bitter cold, excrement below, their lives would have been short, with a violent end. But now, the dogs are going to new homes in North America and britain. Eating dog is part of the culture of much of east asia, but a western charity has persuaded the korean farmer to close the farm. Will the Brutalised Dogs Adapt to life in suburban homes . I think whats incredible about these dogs, from our experience of re homing over 500 dogs now from south korea, is just how forgiving they are. And it is an amazing success rate on once you get the dogs off the dog meat farms, out of the environment, how they transform, and become the dogs that we all know and love. But arent westerners just being hypocritical, telling others to do what they dont do themselves . There are about 200 dogs on this farm. It is not a big farm, by any means. Now, westerners often object to eating these animals. Then they go off and have steak, and pork, and lamb. Whats the difference . Hello. This dog market has long been a target of western activists. 0utside, dogs for slaughter. Inside the shops, vats where traditional potions are brewed, with dog as an ingredient. The owner told me westerners are hypocritical. Translation koreans have been Eating Dog Meat throughout history. Dogs are bred as pets in the west, but we have consumed dogs because of health problems. Because of health properties. But tastes are changing, and as south koreans become more prosperous, younger people turn away from traditional foods like dog. Instead of the plate, these two dogs are now heading for britain. Will they be happy . You are watching newsday on the bbc.

Pope francis has said every possible measure should be taken to protect young refugees amid fears that more than 100 migrants have died off libyas coast. The italian coastguard says eight bodies have been recovered. Only four survivors have been rescued. As David Campanale reports, it comes as more migrants are arriving from north africa. These are the lucky ones, picked up in three different Rescue Operations from fragile vessels at sea. Over 300 men, Women And Children arrived exhausted but alive on the shores of sicily. But from one end of the mediterranean to the other migrants continue to die in an attempt to reach a new life in europe. Italys coastguard says just four people survived the sinking of a migrant ship carrying around 100 people that went down off libya on saturday. Rescue operations are becoming more and more difficult. We have bad weather right now and the boats are poorly constructed so we have boats that crack in half, people up to their chests in water. You get 150 people like that and if they panic they start to jump and crush each other. It is becoming more and more challenging.

In the mediterraneans east, where europes land borders with turkey, its extreme Winter Weather that is the threat with the un saying that four deaths have come so far this year from hypothermia. The thousands living in tents want to move on. But the doors of europe remain firmly closed. David campanale, bbc news. Now its time to talk romance and the subject of dating. There are plenty of dating apps out there flooding the market, promising to find you the one. But a new dating app is being launched that claims to use a different method of match making. Rather than using your Profile Picture to match you up, the app groups you by your profession or your career aspirations. Curious to know more . Max fischer is the founder and ceo of this new dating app belinked. He told me more from his base in la. Basically we found that people who are more career focused and ambitious can help find each other and find their type, by basing a Dating Application of the linkedin api. Many are based on facebook, which is superficial. This is multidimensional and you can learn more about people because we are basing it off more of their true identity, their linkedin identity. It is called belinked, closely connected to linkedin. How did this idea come about . Basically i noticed that people were going on dates through the linkedin messaging platform and i myself actually noticed a woman looking at my profile through the whose viewed your Profile Feature on linkedin. That is their most used feature on the entire platform. I sent her a message and asked her out on a date and, basically, things escalated from there and i decided to build this app. Are there lots of concerns about this . With traditional dating sites there is always a concern that people exaggerate their achievements and their background and they are often using much more flattering photographs. How can you be sure that your app is different . Definitely. We really feel that linkedin does a good job of scrubbing out any fraudulent identity on their platform and on top of that the entire platform is self selecting and high quality. If you notice, some people who work at large companies, the Hr Department actually looks at your profile and report lack of identity or true profiles on their entire platform. So although people can, you know, fake something theoretically they are quickly outed and it is easy to tell amongst the Work Community who was telling the truth and who is not. And what you have to say to criticism that this site is somewhat shallow and based on peoplesjobs. How is this different from all of the other sites out that are equally so . That is a good question. We think that dating apps based on facevook are probably more superficial than ours. Those are only based on what someone is looks like. Here we answer important questions about what somebody does which is what they do in terms of their occupation, what they talk about. Its about their personality. We dont post anything about how much somebody makes. Its just about their aspirations. You are a professional, would you not rather go on a date with somebody who was career minded and has a level of ambition . What does it say about our society that we may even consider that to be controversial . That having a job is a minimum level of criteria .
