He will say the threats are not thousands of miles away, but on our doorstep. He says cyber warfare can also disrupt the lives of normal people. The head of the army is not saying this in so many words, but one way to avoid the possibility of falling behind in combat could be money from the chancellor at number 11. He will not wa nt to chancellor at number 11. He will not want to see any cuts. The speech will be made with the approval of the defence secretary who has said 80 rise be a base, not a ceiling.

The foreign secretary, borisjohnson, will meet his us counterpart, rex tillerson, in london today for talks on syria, iran and yemen. It comes after President Donald Trump refused to visit the uk and open the new us embassy. Heres our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. Donald trump may not be coming to britain, but his secretary of state is. Rex tillerson arrived in london last night for a fresh round of diplomacy in european capitals. The Foreign Policy chief of america is expected to go to the new us embassy in london, the one donald trump said he does not like, and try to smooth ruffled feathers with assurances of the importance of the uk us relationship. But he is meeting borisjohnson. Rex tillerson is also expected to seek Common Ground on Key International issues. On syria, they will discuss not only the new turkish assault on Kurdish Forces in the north, but also upcoming meetings in geneva and elsewhere, to seek, yet again, some kind of political solution to the conflict. Rex tillerson also wants to discuss iran, where britain and europe are at odds with the us over deals to restrict the nuclear programme. He wa nts to restrict the nuclear programme. He wants to look at new ways of curbing the Ballistic Missiles of iran. Both sides will also want to talk about yemen and the fighting in the humanitarian situation continuing to get worse in what has become a proxy war between iran in saudi arabia. But attention, as ever, will focus on the uk us relationship which has contested by Donald Trumps apparent indifference and reluctance to visit. Todays diplomacy will pave the way for the president s meeting with the Prime Minister theresa may expected in the swedish port of davos later this week. James landale, bbc news. The us federal government will remain closed today after the senate delayed a vote on a budget measure, which would have allowed Civil Servants to go back to work. Democrats want President Trump to negotiate over immigration, but republicans say no deal is possible while federal Government Services are closed. The last Government Shutdown was in 2013, and lasted for 16 days. Britain should prepare for a much more economically optimistic 2018 because Global Growth is better than predicted. Thats the argument of lord jim oneill, the former conservative treasury minister and remain supporter. He says the gloomy predictions of the possible effects of brexit are likely to be dwarfed by the more positive figures. A charity says one in three young women in the uk are embarrassed to attend smear tests for Cervical Cancer because of issues with body image. Jos Cervical Cancer trust, which surveyed more than 2,000 women aged between 25 and 35, said it was worried about the impact on screening rates, which have fallen to a 20 year low. The key finding which has come out is that one in three women researched say that body image is a significant factor. That is a big concern. For those under 35, it is the most common cancer. Potentially, lives could be put at risk if they are not going to screenings. A mans been rescued after a week of being cut off by the snow. The 64 year old, who lives in dumfries and galloway, had been attempting to reach the nearest village, but his path was blocked by deep snow.
