could be on his way tojoin everton. sam allardyce says negotiations are underway, and we also have the latest on the future of alexis sanchez. thank you. the weather forecast? at least with a change of cold aircoming forecast? at least with a change of cold air coming down we have to worry about ice and snow but we will have some sunshine. more later. thanks. also coming up: a frozen black pudding has come to the rescue of a butcher who accidentally locked himself in a walk—in freezer. with time of the essence, chris mccabe — from totnes in devon — escaped by using the pudding as a battering ram. we will talk to him. hello everyone — this is afternoon live. he doesn't like where they've put the new one — and he's angry at the price they got for the old one — so donald trump has decided he's not going to come to london next month to open the new us embassy. he took to twitter — once again — to blame the ‘bad deal‘ on his predecessor barack obama — when in fact it was signed off by george w bush. downing street says he will be here for a state visit at some point. the new embassy building has a moat — but the president's in deep water at home — reportedly using foul language when describing some migrant countries. this from our correspondent tom burridge. £1 billion of futuristic architecture with a moat for security. but now, after a lot of will he, won't he, donald trump will not be opening america's new london embassy next month. as ever, the president took to twitter, claiming he had cancelled his trip here because the obama administration had sold the old us embassy for, he said, peanuts, only to build a new one in an off location for more than $1 billion. "wanted me to cut ribbon. no". but perhaps the prospect of this on a much larger scale during the visit put the president off. the mayor of london said there would have been mass, peaceful protests. other labour politicians agree. you have the head of state of another country who has not only promoted hatred and division in his own country but has surely, given his online activity, guilty of doing the same in the country too. nigel farage, the first british politician to meet donald trump after he was elected us president, says it's bad for britain. an american president, the most pro—british for many years, it is an important relationship. i would like to see him deal with his critics in open, proper, public debate. what about the president's suggestion that the sale of the soon—to—be former us embassy in grosvenor square in mayfair was a bad deal? we don't know what qatari investors have paid for a long leasehold on the building. the fact it is a grade ii listed building would have dropped the price. if president trump is offended by some in britain, many millions in africa and elsewhere are potentially outraged. during a meeting at the white house, donald trump reportedly made offensive comments about developing countries when discussing a deal on immigration. these are shocking and shameful comments from the president of the united states. i am sorry but there is no other word you can use but racist. you cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as beep. the entire populations are not white and therefore not welcome. the only donald trump in london at the moment is a waxwork. he or it got a very friendly reception this morning. at times the real donald trump has provoked anger in britain. for some, this is about the office he holds and our very close relationship between our two countries. jon donnison is at the new us embassy building in south london. what is the reaction to the decision? it is causing a lot of debate, we heard the criticism from the likes of saadi can't, the mayor of london —— sadiq khan. boris johnson says the us is the single biggest investor in the uk yet he says the likes ofjeremy corbyn and sadiq khan seem to want to put this relationship at risk. the spokesperson for the prime minister theresa may with more simple language, saying, the invitation for the state visit is still there, it has been accepted, and donald trump would be welcome in london later in the year. just explain exactly where the year. just explain exactly where the new embassy is because it is still fairly central. pretty central, south of the river, close to boxall, in an area which used to be an old railway yard —— boxall. the embassy is surrounded by new apartment buildings and i was speaking to the contractors working on the embassy and they said eve ryo ne on the embassy and they said everyone who has bought one of those apartments is having to be heavily vetted in terms of security, and some of the buildings have as many as 175 different cameras on them, so it will be a big change for people living in this part of london. in the evening standard newspaper this evening, the current us ambassador woodyjohnson contradicting president crump >> studio: -- president crump >> studio: -- president trump, saying the reason they moved from mayfair was because of security concerns and that the new embassy was absolutely perfect, as he put it. rock on a response did you get from the builders and contractors when you spoke to them this morning? —— what kind of response. some of the language was quite fruity, and it was not a representative sample of londoners but the ones i spoke to would not have been offering president trump a warm welcome if he had turned up in a month. john, thanks forjoining us. joining me now from central london is sir christopher meyer, former british ambassador to the united states. are you that surprised he is not coming? not really. i didn't think he was going to come, having the president come in for a quick flying visit to cut the ribbon did not sound realistic and i thought it would be rex tillerson in the end, the secretary of state, to do the honours. to be frank, this can never have seems to be a appetising visit to donald trump who loves the grandiloquence of the receptions he got in china and in saudi arabia, and this would be a cut—price visit with a lot of use of helicopters to avoid demonstrators, maybe a conversation with theresa may thrown in. not much more than that, so this was not really the kind of visit that donald trump likes to have. you don't think this is because he's not invited to the wedding between prince harry and meghan markle but not there may be more behind the scenes, but coming to step the ribbon for the new american embassy is not the most exciting thing in the world for donald trump, and this also gave him an opportunity to give barack obama a kicking for selling the old us embassy so cheaply, if it was him. we must not forget that he disdains diplomats and he does not like diplomacy and he doesn't like the state department which is under siege under trump and rex tillerson, so siege under trump and rex tillerson, so if you do these ingredients together, and he won't... the atmosphere will be quite cold because no one seems to like in london, but these things together, why would you want to come and open the american embassy? it is a real slap in the face to the relatively new us ambassador in london. difficult for him. they put a waxwork of donald trump outside the new embassy and the photographers loved that. the ambassador must be feeling a bit uncomfortable, but what about your predecessor, the ambassador in washington, what will be going on in those corridors? will he be relishing this? the british ambassador in washington? yes. the chap there now, given —— he is a consummate professional and he has handled everything with the white house and the presidency expertly. this is a bit of a nine hours wonder, this story, this is the width of a storm in a teacup, but on the big issues between britain and the big issues between britain and the united states, commercial and economic and investment, defence and security, they will be undisturbed. by security, they will be undisturbed. by this incident. and yet this is one of the few countries he hasn't visited and it doesn't look good. the optics might not be very good, but man does not live by optics alone if i can corrupt the phrase. he has been to china and all over asia and to the middle east and even a quick sneak into france, but all of these things, and he hasn't come to the uk, but so what? international relations are not a beauty pageant. the thing that matters the most in the us uk relationship is the substance and the substance is massive and growing irrespective of who is prime minister and who is president. isn't there a risk of snobbery amongst some journalists who confuse donald trump and the office of the president of the united states? one of the reasons why we need a certain closeness and stability in our relations with the united states under donald trump is because it is essential to make a distinction between the occupant of the oval office and the office of the presidency itself. the fact of the aa g? f—** you have ot to ’27*27%27:77 you have ot to et * $27: you have ot to et on $27: relationship. you have got to get on with the presidency and you have also got to get on with the president, but they are, although link, two separate things. having a president who dislikes diplomats, is thatis president who dislikes diplomats, is that is why he is having difficulties? he has tweeted again about the language he has used in the white house, but without the diplomatic filter if you like and going directly through twitter, is that part of his problem? if he was listening to diplomats and allowing the state department to be properly staffed by diplomats and experts, you wouldn't be donald trump. he would be somebody else —— he wouldn't be donald trump. you have got to take donald trump as a whole, wa rts got to take donald trump as a whole, warts and all, and one of those is that he doesn't appear to believe in the kind of traditional american diplomacy to which the rest of the world has become accustomed over decades and decades. he is not that kind of president and he likes smashing things and recreating them in his own image and his own wishes. by in his own image and his own wishes. by definition, if you are a career american diplomat, that pitching at a massive disadvantage, and it is for that reason that the state department has been frozen out of central decision—making on key world issues —— that puts you at a massive disadvantage. thanks forjoining us. donald trump has been on twitter in response to the comments he is alleged to have made regarding migrant countries. this is what he has said. the difficulty for him is, there is talk of so manyjournalists being in the room when he said it and recording what he said, this row will continue. there you go, that is his latest reaction to the controversy his latest reaction to the c0 ntrove i’sy over his latest reaction to the controversy over what he is supposed to have said about migrant countries using some very strong line which. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. president trump has cancelled his visit to london to open the new us embassy. nottingham railway station will remain closed for the rest of the day after a large fire broke out there early this morning. younger women with early breast cancer, and faulty brack—uh genes, do not need to rush into major surgery to improve their chances of survival, a study suggests in a moment... one's advice on wearing a crown.. the queen shares memories of her coronation in a new bbc documentary. and in sport, billiejean king has asked for the tennis court in australia to be renamed after comments by margaret court. heather watson last her latest match roster after 12 years at arsenal, it looks like theo walcott might be on his way out of the club, everton manager sam alla rdyce says way out of the club, everton manager sam allardyce says the team have entered into negotiations about signing the england international. more on those stories at half—past. a huge fire engulfed a section of nottingham railway station this morning. around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze, which began at about 630. no—one was injured, but trains are still not running through the station and travellers are being warned to avoid the area. phil mackie reports. the severe fire rapidly spread through the recently renovated station at the start of this morning's rush—hour. 60 firefighters were called to deal with the blaze while passengers and staff were safely evacuated. our crews were in attendance very quickly and managed to put in place measures to, a, protect lives, and, b, do everything they can to protect the building. i've got firefighters here that have served 20—plus years and have said the heat they were exposed to was the likes of which they had never experienced before. it was a significant fire. it spread into an area difficult to get to, meaning it took several hours to get the fire under control. this is where the fire started at 6:30am this morning, in the main concourse. you can still smell the smoke in the air right now. the fire station is quite close by so they got here quickly and they evacuated very fast. it is still causing knock—on effects for the rail network, notjust in the midlands, but elsewhere in the country, too. the station is closed until further notice, rail and tram services continue to be affected in nottingham. and the disruption is causing problems over a much wider area. obviously i have come down, speaking to the officer, the train station is still closed and he diverted me here and now i'm going to find out if i can actually get a coach to lincoln. thousands of people are affected by this. it's not a little village station, it's the main station for the midlands, basically, isn't it? so loads of people have been affected. crazy. the fire is now under control, the joint police and fire a study of women with breast cancer suggests that having a double mastectomy doesn't increase the chances of survival in younger patients who have the brca gene. the research also found that women treated for breast cancer had the same survival rates, irrespective of whether they had the brca gene mutation. i'm joined now by our medical correspondent fergus walsh. explain what this study has found. nearly 3000 women, more than 100 hospitals, in britain, it followed them for around ten years and it found, no matter what treatment they had and whether or not they had these brca mutations, and if they had those breast—cancer gene mutations, or not, they have the same survival chances whether or not they went on to have a double must act to me, so this is pretty reassuring and it gives women more treatment options. does it go into the effectiveness of preventative vasectomies? no, it doesn't. since the highlighted case of angelina jolie who carries the brca gene mutation, she decided to have a preventative double masectomy. one in 1:50 preventative double masectomy. one in a50 women carry one of these brca mutations and often they have a strong family history, they have a mother, sister or art, maybe several family members who have had breast cancer as a result of these gene mutations and many of them do decide to have prevented the a double masectomy. that is not related to this study at all. there's another thing which is a limitation with this study, which was —— a very powerfully done study, but it was only young women, and many cases of breast cancer are in women above a0, and so we can't say the same findings would be in older women as well as this study so there are still questions. the devastating moment when a young woman is told and diagnosed with breast cancer and the brca gene, this effectively says you have time and you don't have to rush a decision, which is important? it is. if they are diagnosed at 20, 30, 35, they have 60, 70 years of life left, and it might be that 20-30 life left, and it might be that 20—30 years later they might be advised to have more surgery but it means they don't have to rush their decision so it is important is gives women more options for breast cancer which affects one in eight women. fergus, thanks. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation in 1953, including the weight of the imperial state crown. she's been speaking to the royal commentator alastair bruce for a bbc programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony. a key piece of advice from her majesty — just in case you ever need to know — is don't look down; as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she'll get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels, and the imperial state crown worn by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately, my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still? yes. it was huge then. yes. very unwieldy. you can't look down to read a speech, you have take the speech up because, if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. it is difficult to always remember that diamonds are stones, there are so very heavy. yes. there are some disadvantages to crowns. but, otherwise, they are quite important things. she rode to her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tons. it's not built for comfort. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. it's only sprung on leather. so, it rocks around a lot. it's not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? halfway round london. really? we must have gone about four orfive miles — we can only go walking pace. horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation — the crown — the real one. nicholas witchell, bbc news. with me is anthony geffen, executive producer of the coronation. emotional marco aspect, we are seeing the queen in a chat in which most of us will never see her —— the most of us will never see her —— the most remarkable aspect. yes, there we re most remarkable aspect. yes, there were areas we wanted to cover with a queen, but by spitting this into two ways, the first was to show her, the coronation footage, 1953, and her to watch it, and cheese edgy hadn't seen the footage so she was remembering in this extraordinary way —— and as she said she hadn't seen the footage. the second sets up if you like was with the crown coming in from the tower of london and her talking about the crown, her memories and thoughts, which is overreacting, and that is why this film is special —— which is her reacting. she is talking about something very personal, the coronation, when she was only 27, and you see her sense of humour and her directness and you see her in a different way. these things don't just happen, when did you first have the idea? alastair bruce and i first thought about this 22 years ago and started applying... then the idea of being able to do anything about the coronation and the crownjewels were so far off but we kept at it. possibly what changed, by looking at the coronation in this way, we were looking at how the modern monarchy works and for most people the coronation and the crownjewels, where do they fit? there hasn't been a coronation for a long time, 65 yea rs. a coronation for a long time, 65 years. it a coronation for a long time, 65 yea rs. it allows a coronation for a long time, 65 years. it allows people to understand what it is all about. inevitably we are concentrating on a small part of this which is the queen chatting, but the crown jewels, historically, so significant and important, very huge measures taken to and important, very huge measures ta ken to protect and important, very huge measures taken to protect them, like in the war. the interesting thing about them, we wanted to film them in a new way with snorkel cameras and special lighting and we had three night where they closed off the tower and it was extraordinary to see these incredible relics close up. there is one moment which was surprising, we were lining up to film the grounds and the crown jewellers said you can't shoot from above because only god can be above the crown, so we had to quickly manoeuvre the cameras in a different direction. the other story you are referring to, the extraordinary period, we found this out during the filming, what happened to the crown jewels during the war, there is all this speculation, that they went to wales, but in the end, we found letters a nd wales, but in the end, we found letters and we had help from the royal collection, and we found that they were buried in a hole under windsor castle which is pretty extraordinary. there was an extra set of precautions if hitler was to invade, they gouged out the important, the most importantjewels and they put them in a biscuit tin ready for immediate action. the most valuable jewels in the world, under this hole, and i like the idea that there was a cap short that was ready to disappear if the germans invaded —— capsule that was ready to despair. —— disappear. —— capsule that was ready to despair. -- disappear. why do you think she was ready to do this now? do you think she wanted to get her own story across? i don't know that, but in the modern world of the monarchy, you see the monarchy and all the people associated with it, i think there was a feeling inside the palace that the very meaning of monarchy is actually needed to be tackled and the coronation was a key way of doing that, even the way people are beginning to talk about this programme, the queen is a big pa rt this programme, the queen is a big part of this and it is fascinating but we also deal with the coronation in general. people will find that very interesting and the palace will be pleased they are getting across what is the meaning of monarchy and how these crown jewels fit with our lives. how does the coronation mean anything to us. who knows when the next coronation will be, and it is treason to talk about it, but the nice thing about this programme, it will last a long time, and the reason i'm delighted the queen did it, it was a historic event in 1953, and we all remember it, a landmark piece of television, and to get the queen to talk about that is another big event and hopefully will be another landmark piece of television because the queen has been quite extraordinary, the longest reigning monarch, but there is always that in your mind, when the queen is in westminster abbey in the middle of the coronation, what was she thinking? she was only 27. easy to forget that. thanks forjoining us. we will be talking to alastair bruce who was involved in the making of this documentary later. and you can see the coronation on sunday evening, at 8pm on bbc one. a 27—year—old woman has been arrested on terror charges at heathrow airport. scotland yard confirmed the uk national , who arrived on a flight from ethiopia , was detained on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and has been taken to a south london police station, where she remains in custody. drivers are facing rising fuel price misery after oil hit 70 us dollars a barrel for the first time in more than three years. further hikes in pump prices are now predicted , the rise in the cost of oil may be felt in the forecourt as soon as this weekend. petrol has already increased by nearly 5p a litre since the start of november, with diesel up 3p. time for a look at the weather. the cyclone was over warm authors and she is following a similar attack to hilda which was a week ago —— over warm waters. the concern is the weekend, with the wet weather initially over western parts of australia, but she may well, the storm may then head south to perth. at this time of year it is warm and lie in perth and they barely have any rain at all, maybe the hard thunderstorm —— warm and dry. but they could have record—breaking levels of rainfall perth if that arrives next weekend. sydney has had temperatures which have been unprecedented, is this unusual? not really. the kind we have seen, towards the extreme of what you would see, but we had warm for another head of hilda and then you get the big breakdown, so much energy from the temperature, you get the big thunderstorms. what is going on in the west is fairly typical, and we sometimes have cyclones coming from queensland, but most of what we have seen so far, the cyclones have been in the west. western australia will bear the brunt of this. maybe 200 millimetres of rain and maybe some flash flooding, but it is fairly sparsely populated. if it hurts to perth it will be record—breaking. —— if it goes to perth. you mentioned snow.|j you mentioned snow. i did. iwould be happy to see snow, sorry for those who wouldn't. the change will be brought about by some wet and windy weather before we get that hint of snow and ice, which there are already warnings in force for. we have got some sunshine today. you need to be in devon or the western side of england. in east anglia, we have had sunshine, where it has been rather grey for most of the week. we had splashes of rain across southern counties. the fault has lifted in northern ireland. that has been persistent for two days, so it has been better here. the winds will alleviate the fog problems tonight. in england, we have the risk of fog and frost again as temperatures tumble close to freezing in the countryside. in the towns and cities, they will hold up. by morning, where are getting a patchy rain into devon and cornwall into south wales, where we have beautiful sunshine at the moment. so a very different start to the day here, while for many others, it would be great because we have that weather front around and a few splashes of rain and drizzle. there could be a few heavy bursts for northern ireland. but for the bulk of scotland, despite the cold start, once the fog lifts, we will see the best of the sunshine. elsewhere, there is more breeze than today, so that lifts the basis of the cloud a bit. but we do have to suffer a couple of grey days, given that we have these weather fronts around. tomorrow evening and overnight, the wet weather fizzles out, but it will still be around as we get into sunday. so don't forget a weak weather front. it could sunday. so don't forget a weak weatherfront. it could be sunday. so don't forget a weak weather front. it could be chilly where we see the breaks in the cloud. because we have those two week weather fronts with us on sunday, there will be a bit of brightness and sunshine. mostly dry weather, but a few drizzly showers. this is the main player late in the day. a change takes place late afternoon for northern ireland and scotland. all of us will have a speu scotland. all of us will have a spell of heavy rain and strong winds, but it is behind us that the arctic air comes in and the prospect of some snow. it will feel cold despite some sunshine because of the wind. the ice risk is initially in the north and west. this is bbc news — our latest headlines: downing street has said president trump is still welcome in the uk after he cancelled a trip to open the new us embassy in london. meanwhile, the president has denied using crude and offensive language to describe african countries. the un's human rights body said the comments, if accurate, were "shameful and racist". 60 firefighters have been tackling a large blaze at nottingham railway station. the flames have been brought under control and no—one has been hurt. a surgeon who marked his initials onto the livers of two transplant patients has been fined £10,000 and sentenced to community service. time for a check on the sport. the transfer window is about to close. for theo walcott and arsenal, it has not been the happiest of partnerships, has it? not really. it's been 12 years at arsenal for theo walcott. back in 2006, he moved from southampton as a starlet teenager, but never really reached the heights of what was expected for him after his surprise call up to the world cup just a few months later. however, it seems his time in north london may soon be over. he's only played a7 minutes in the premier league this season. this morning, everton boss sam allardyce has confirmed the teams have entered negotiations over the 28—year—old, with a permanent transfer everton's preferred option. allardyce said the england international would be a "fantastic addition". well, arsenal as we know, could lose one of the premier league's best players in the shape of forward alexis sanchez. arsenal fans will be wondering who is coming in — with just six months left on his contract, sanchez is likely to leave the fa cup holders this january, but only if a suitable offer arrives and a replacement is secured. both manchester united and manchester city have reportedly bid for the chilean. people are always observing you with a microscope when you are on a short—term contract. but i never questioned his professional attitude when he is on the football pitch. sanchez wants to win a bidding war. but we are not in that. we maintain what i said many times. he would normally stay here until the end of the season, but we will see. thank you very much for torturing me! ahead of the start of this yea r‘s australian open, the great billiejean king is once again calling for the arena in melbourne, named after margaret court, to be renamed. last year — court — the 2a time grand slam winner who is also a devout christian, voiced her opposition to gay marriage, as well as saying the children of transgender people were "from the devil". king says that was a step too far. it is up to the people of australia. i have to leave it to them. but if i we re i have to leave it to them. but if i were here, i would have a problem with. the most important thing is to be your authentic self. so they have to decide, each one of them. you can have a discussion around it. everyone is entitled to their opinion. margaret is very entitled to her opinion. i would be very welcoming to margaret. but she believes in conversion. she thinks i can go back to straight. well, earlier, i spoke to our tennis correspondent russell fuller and asked him if the organisers of the australian open had any reaction to king's view... there was a press conference called to mark the fact that billie jean king was here to celebrate 50 years since first winning the title and as the australian open's woman of the year was able to expose her views. the tournament director was alongside her, and he said what they said six seven months ago, that they would not condone what margaret court said, but that the court is named after her because of her achievements on that court he also said it was competitive. it is not just tennis australia that makes this decision. the government owns melbourne parks, so there are many stakeholders. he said there was no active process to change the name, but he did say it was something that was still to discussion. staying down under, it's been a good warm—up for the australian open for britain's heather watson despite defeat overnight. she missed out on herfirst wta final in two years, beaten in three sets by belgian second seed in the semis of the hobart international. with just a month left before she defends her olympic title, britain's lizzy yarnold has finished ninth at the skeleton world cup in st moritz. yarnold was in sixth place after the first heat, but finished over a minute behind janine flock, who claimed gold. the result leaves yarnold in 10th place in the overall competition standings. the final world cup race takes place in germany in a week's time. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. thank you ray much. let's get more now on our main story — president trump's decision not to visit the uk next month to open the new us embassy. he blamed president obama for getting a bad deal on the building which is in south london, despite the fact that the move was agreed under george w bush. well, the former ukip leader nigel farage has been defending president trump's decision to cancel his trip. well, certainly, donald trump wants to disassociate himself from any profligate spending, as he sees it, by barack obama. i'm not a real estate guy, i can't comment on that. he of course is. i also do think that when you think he has been all over the world, he's been to france, he's been to belgium, he's been to italy and saudi arabia and china, and everywhere he's been in the world, he's been treated pretty well. in this country, we have the mayor of london, jeremy corbyn and many others encouraging large—scale street protest against him and i do think that must be part of his calculation. do you think he should still come? well, i want him to come at some point in time. we do a lot of business with america. we have an important military alliance with america and we have an american president who's the most pro—british there has been for many years. it's an important relationship. i would like to see the president come here and i think actually, i would like to see him deal with his critics in open, proper, public debate. and he will come at some point in time, just not now. so the state visit should still go ahead? oh, the state visit at some point not only should go ahead, but it will go ahead. let's speak now to the conservative mp, tom tugendhat — chair of the commons foreign affairs select committee. are you sad he's not coming to open the embassy? i think it's a shame when a head of state doesn't come to open their most important foreign mission. but this is a decision he has to make and it sounds to me like it was made for local domestic consumption, as in a protest against his predecessor, rather than anything to do with us. looking at twitter and looking at the response to this from the london mayor, sadiq khan, who has tweeted in the last couple of hours "many londoners have made it clear that donald trump is not welcome while he is pursuing such a divisive agenda. it seems he has got that message". i wonder how helpful that sort of languages. london has benefited enormously from our close alliance with the united states. not only do we have enormous amounts of us investment, both in finance and law and industry, but we have enormous numbers of american tourists. we have many us residents in our capital city. so the idea that london is against the united states in any way is for the birds. it is simply not true. it is worth remembering that whether we like it or not, mrtrump remembering that whether we like it or not, mr trump does reside over the united states. he is the head of state and a courtesy to our friendly allies is therefore important. but this isn't about the relationship between the united kingdom and the united states. our relationship is extremely strong whoever lives in the white house or in number ten. so a state visit is inevitable?” the white house or in number ten. so a state visit is inevitable? i don't know about that. as for the palace to organise and the white house. it is not for me to decide on. but the relationship between our two countries is incredibly deep. it is based on trade, defence, intelligence and nuclear cooperation. it is one of the closest allia nces cooperation. it is one of the closest alliances in the world between two nations, and i welcome that it will continue to be so. our relationship over the last 100 years has gone through ups and downs, as every relationship has. but we are as close now as we have been. tom tugendhat, thank you. the role played by the media is to be examined by the manchester arena bombing inquiry. 22 people were killed at the end of an ariana grande concert last may. some families who lost loved ones found themselves subjected to intrusive attention, as judith moritz reports. the manchester arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost and many more were changed for ever. the attack made international headlines. that meant there was huge media interest in the stories of those most closely affected. they included the family of martyn hett. killed in the blast. martyn had a large social media following and had previously been on tv. possibly as a result, his family found themselves in the spotlight from almost the very moment they heard about the explosion and before they knew that martyn had died. people were coming around, knocking on the door and ringing the bell and saying "sorry for your loss. would you like to comment?" he was not even officially dead yet. how can anyone be so cruel and say "sorry for your loss"? we didn't find out officially till that evening that he was dead. the way the emergency services responded to the arena attack is already being reviewed by an independent panel. now it will also examine the role which the media played during the aftermath. we want to say what's worked well as well as what we need to learn, and much of the media handled families in a very respectful way. but we've heard examples where that was not the case and we think they need to be explored and understood. # walk on... the families of those who died in the 1989 hillsborough disaster lost their relatives in very different but equally public circumstances. their experience has inspired a charter for families bereaved through public tragedy. give them the truth as early as possible. the manchester arena review team want organisations to sign up to it and put the needs of such families before their own reputations. what happened 30 years or so ago is still, in many cases, there are echoes of it still today. we've seen that possibly with grenfell. it's an instinct to look internally into issues before telling the wider truth about what happened. in march, the full review into the city's response to the attack will be published. eight months after these 22 people died, their families' lives are still dominated by the tragedy. in a moment, the business news with rebecca marston. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. president trump cancels his visit to london to open the new us embassy — saying he doesn't like the building's location — and his predecessor got peanuts for the old one. cancer deciding if radical surgery is right for them. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. bank customers across the uk as of tomorrow will be able to securely share their financial information with other regulated firms. all they need to do is give their permission. the so—called open banking regime aims to help consumers get better deals. more of this in a second. carillion, one of the government's biggest contractors, has been meeting government officials and the pension regulator today amidst speculation over its future. it is struggling under £1.5 billion of debt including a pension shortfall of £587 million. facebook says it will change its focus to emphasize what it calls "meaningful social interactions" between friends rather than posts from media outlets and businesses. the social network has faced criticism over fake news and being too addictive. the chief executive mark zuckerberg has warned it might hit the business in the short term, but would be better for the company and the community in the long term. let's talk about the open banking. it is less about money and more about information. yes. at the moment, only your bank can see what is going on with your bank. this is being described as a revolution in our finances. it means that certain accredited firms can now, with your permission, have access to certain information, and they can use that information, and they can use that information to suggest other financial services. people have said it isa financial services. people have said it is a daft idea, and why would we wa nt it is a daft idea, and why would we want so much information on our own finances? what reaction have you had to this? well, there are a number of companies wishing to gain our business. one of them is money have an samantha seaton is its chief executive. if you're looking to get on the property ladder, it can help you because you can see how you spend your money and how good you are at managing your money. your re nt are at managing your money. your rent is not taken into account when you are going to get a mortgage, and now it can be. so the products you will be offered and your eligibility can suddenly open up another level, which means you can get to the property market quicker. you may also have, for example, your loan evaluation monitored for you. the products that are within reach could be one click away. now, donald trump has cancelled his visit to the uk. what do they make of it over there? is it affecting markets? let's ask samira hussain what she thinks! she is the bbc‘s business correspondent in new york. what is being said about the cancellation of donald trump's visit to christen the new embassy? to be perfectly frank, it comes on the heels of a lot of news that has come out of the white house that is not being taken well by americans. the foremost, the disparaging comments that the president made about immigrants coming from haiti and africa. that is really playing large in the united states. so the news about the president cancelling his trip to london is a bit buried in the bigger news about his feelings about immigration in the united states. so the noise from trump on other subjects is drowning out the noise on this one. we will hopefully get a visit from someone from the trump administration to christen the embassy. who is it likely to be, rex tillerson? it could be rex tillerson, it could be another memberof the trump tillerson, it could be another member of the trump cabinet. it's not clear right now. everyone is scrambling at the moment to do a lot of damage control. we should be getting some sort of indication in the coming weeks. thank you for joining us. she's very polite. she was basically saying no one cares! let's look at the markets. we have an upturn in the 100 share index. it is up an upturn in the 100 share index. it isupa an upturn in the 100 share index. it is up a tiny bit. gkn shares are very high with a ta keover gkn shares are very high with a takeover bid in the offing. a rise in 2596. takeover bid in the offing. a rise in 25%. and brent crude is going up. thank you very much. now, it's the black pudding that saved the butcher's bacon. chris mccabe from totnes in devon got trapped after the freezer door in his shop blew shut behind him. stranded in temperatures of —20c, with the door—release button frozen shut, he used the sausage as a battering ram on the release mechanism. chris mccabe joins us now from his shop in totnes. describe the moment when you went into this huge deepfreeze and the door slammed shut behind you. what went through your mind? my first thought was, oh, dear, this is going to bea thought was, oh, dear, this is going to be a horrible experience. the wind had blown the door shut and the freezer fan comes on at —20 degrees. and you are standing in a steal box, feeling really cold. i tried to open it using the button, but that would not work because it was frozen solid. so you're thinking, how do i get out of here? first i thought i would give it a good hard kick on the button opens the door, and i will be out. i tried that a few times and it wouldn't move. at that stage, i did begin to worry. i thought, what am i going to do? i can't kick my way out. as i looked around, i found some can't kick my way out. as i looked around, ifound some rabbits, guinea fowl, pigeons, but none were heavy enough to bash the door with. then i hit upon the black pudding. it was on the shelf. it weighs one and a half to two kilos. it is solid, like a piece of rock. i then manoeuvred myself to get at this button and they gave it four or five good bashes, just as the police do when they break open somebody‘s front door. and lo and behold, the door flew open and i thought, thank goodness, i'm out. nobody knew i had gone into the freezer from the shop. ifi gone into the freezer from the shop. if i puta gone into the freezer from the shop. if i put a piece of meat in there, it will freeze solid in one hour, so i could have been a very cold butcher in half an hour. and there is no way a frozen rabbit would have done that? i don't think it is heavy enough. no, iwanted done that? i don't think it is heavy enough. no, i wanted something solid, and the black pudding stick was solid and blunt on one hand, so i could really hit it hard. did you ever watch the goodies? i think they used something akin to a black pudding to do a similar thing. as you were doing this, did you think, this is a bit strange? i certainly felt it was strange. i also thought it was very frightening. the effect of the cold and the noise, and you are ina of the cold and the noise, and you are in a steel box. luckily, i had the lights on. if i hadn't, i don't know what i would have done. so you have managed to escape, you have this black pudding in your hand. at some point, you have to tell someone that this has happened. did they believe you immediately? well, they did, because i took the chap out who had originally got hold of the story and he said, i don't believe you. so isaid, and he said, i don't believe you. so i said, well, and he said, i don't believe you. so isaid, well, you and he said, i don't believe you. so i said, well, you have a look, and i shot him in there and he came out looking white! i have had the button mended now, of course. and he came out and mended now, of course. and he came outand said, mended now, of course. and he came out and said, yes, i think what happened was really frightening. we are looking at pictures of a reconstruction which you bravely put yourself through. on the serious side, this could have killed you. you owe this black pudding your life. well, you have to be realistic and say that it was only because it was my shop and my piece of equipment and my ageing experience that i didn't panic and i knew what i had to do. but i hate to think what might have happened if it had been an inexperienced employees or somebody who wasn't very strong or anything other than those factors. i knew what i wanted to do, it was doing it. and that was where the black pudding came in that saved my life. you wonder about the wisdom of putting a button inside a freezer department that freezes. it should not have frozen and it had been badly installed by a previous fridge engineer. i engaged a new fridge engineer. i engaged a new fridge engineer and within 20 minutes, he had it fixed. it is perfect. every morning now, i open the door, check the button and check the lights. that is a huge relief. what happened to the black pudding? are you going to the black pudding? are you going to keep it? being a butcher, i sold it! but i have had a replacement. did it go for a premium? well, i didn't dare tell the customer what i had used it for. they might have thought that was beyond the call of a meat product. i hope they are not watching! chris, iam pleased you we re watching! chris, iam pleased you were able to join us. a remarkable escape story of a black pudding that saved your bacon. it is a headline thatis saved your bacon. it is a headline that is worth repeating. thank you for a much. —— that is worth repeating. thank you fora much. —— helen that is worth repeating. thank you for a much. —— helen willetts has to follow that! the static weather pattern continues, so fault has been an issue across the midlands and north—east england and it is likely to thicken up again after dark. but change is afoot further west. the wind is strengthening and we will see when coming into northern ireland as we head toward saturday morning. not as cold here, but there could be forced elsewhere and therefore some freezing fog and a grace that. we still have our weak weather front across parts of central uk, so that give some great weather. but with the breeze, it will blow a few holes in the cloud, so some sunshine for northern scotla nd so some sunshine for northern scotland and a few breaks in the cloud elsewhere. tomorrow night, the rain peters out on that weather front. it will leave us with a legacy of cloud again for sunday. but some strong winds will come into the north and west, with heavy rain to end the day. all change by monday. president trump cancels his visit to london to open the new us embassy — saying he doesn't like the building's location — and his predecessor got peanuts for the old one. major disruption on the rails, road, and trams — as a huge blaze closes nottingham railway station — and it won't re—open today. take your time — the new advice to some young women with breast cancer deciding if radical surgery is right for them. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport with hugh. a couple of mep who could be leaving arsenal in the next couple of week, everton say they are in negotiations with the gunnerer over theo walcott. he could be making a £20 million move and we will have the latest on sanchez‘s feature as well. and we'll be joining you for a full update just after half—past. helen willets has all the weather. it is all change, by the time we get 115 we will 1&3, ’ ' ice will crisp " ice you can‘t... . . ., you can'tlook . fl you can't. look down i you can't. look down tin read the speech, you have to take it up, because if you did your neck would break. because if you did your neck would break. one's advice on wearing a crown — the queen shares her memories of the coronation with alistair bruce in a new bbc documentary.
