Good morning, it is friday, january 27. Theresa may is to become the first world leader to meet donald trump since he became us president. She told Senior Republicans last night of the importance of the Special Relationship between the two countries. It is thought the Prime Minister will meet the president in the oval office and they will spend around an hour together in a private meeting. Both leaders will then give their first News Conference together at around 6pm uk time. Post brexit trade opportunities, security and Intelligence Cooperation are likely to feature, as well as the future of nato, in those talks. This report is from our washington converse correspondent. She arrived on a blustery winters evening in a city reeling from the effects of the new occupant of the white house. Theresa may will meet with President Trump less than a week after he came to office, a week as unpredictable as any in modern american history. And as the Prime Ministers Motorcade Wound its way through the streets of the capital, she could probably be forgiven for thinking, will the new relationship be more strange than special . In philadelphia, the city of the founding fathers, mrs may earned a Standing Ovation for a speech that dwelt on the shared history of the two nations, a relationship which had defined the modern world. All part of a Charm Offensive which she hopes will pave the way for a trade deal with the us. So i am delighted that the new administration has made a Trade Agreement between our countries one of its earliest priorities. A new trade deal between britain and america. It must serve work for both sides and serve both of our national interests. Later, shell become the first foreign leader to meet with donald trump at the white house, the streetwise new yorker who, when it comes to trade deals, has vowed he will always put America First. The comes as President Trump finds himself roiled in a row about his plan to build a wall along the border with mexico. Mexicos president cancelled a visit to washington after trump signed an order to move the bill forward and says mexico will pay for it. Mexico, says, no way. If you think about what a border tax on imports from countries like mexico does, it will provide funding. But the other positive you have to realise is that through the wall not only do we secure oui through the wall not only do we secure our border but i think we will save additional money that we would have had to spend on tracking down illegal in the. Lesson week after he took Office Donald trump finds himself embroiled in controversy on finds himself embroiled in c0 ntrove isy 0 n a finds himself embroiled in controversy on a range of other fronts, not least his assertion that there is a pace for torture in the questioning of terrorist suspects, a statement that runs contrary to international law. But he and theresa may do have things in common and it remains to be seen whether they can find Common Ground just as they can find Common Ground just as the uk is preparing to negotiate its departure from the eu. David willis, bbc news, washington. Speaking to fox news in his second interviews is becoming president , donald trump said he would be strong on trade deals with other countries to ensure they work for america. On trade deals with other countries to ensure they work for american the deal doesnt work out, we terminate the deal. When you get into the mosh pit with all these countries together you cant get out of the deal. You take the lowest nominator, in other words you have countries that dont treat as well, they are in there, we want to deal with the ones that treat us well and if they dont treat us well we give them a 30 day notice of termination and then they come back and they wa nt to and then they come back and they want to negotiate during that 30 days and we get a better deal. We dont get good deals any more. You almost wonder who gets these deals, how does it happen . We are going to make great trade deals, were going to bring backjobs, were going to have strong military, were going to drew great. Lets talk to carol at westminster. Theresa may set the scene last night in philadelphia. Today when she meets President Trump they have a lot in common probably when it comes to talks about a Future Trade Deal. But then there are areas where there are very key points of difference as well. M are areas where there are very key points of difference as well. It was striking that last night the Prime Minister was talking notjust about the importance of the Special Relationship but also about their shared values, and i think, though the two share a common design example to share Economic Opportunities to woodberry working families, they want to secure a Future Trade Deal between the us and the uk, britain cannot start formal negotiations until it leaves the eu, but the Prime Minister will be helping to lay the groundwork for a trade deal and donald trump has already said britain could be at the front of the queue. I think when it comes to a whole series of other issues, there are some real differences. Donald trump said yesterday that he would be personally prepared to allow torture in order to pursue the fight against terrorism. Britain takes a very strong stance that it does not condone terrorism. Brass tricked rules that British Intelligence agencies cannot use information which is gained through the use of torture. When i spoke to the Defence Secretary earlier i put it to him that this was an issue on which theresa may would need to challenge the american president. She will be making him very clear on the british position on torture and that will not change. We dont can turn it and that will not change whatever the american policy happens to be. But will she urged him not to go down that route . That would have really significant implications for future Intelligence Sharing. We Work Together on the basis of shared intelligence and you are right, if the american position was to change there would be implications and she will be making that clear. The Prime Minister also said she wanted to see an end to what she called failed interventions, clearly signalling a change from the sort of approach that led to the us and the uk getting involved in for example militaria action in iraq and afghanistan, though she said she still did believe that both countries should engage more widely in the world in particular through nato. The chairman of the Foreign Affairs select omitted welcome those comments. Personally i shoot she welcome it. It is a proper Reality Check to the unachievable ambitions of british and american policy over the last couple of decades which has led us into quite serious Foreign Policy mistakes with catastrophic consequences. Policy mistakes with catastrophic consequences. So Policy Mistakes with catastrophic consequences. So you look at afghanistan and iraq and they undoubtedly have been severe lesson is to ask which the Prime Minister has recognised. Now there are some shared views between the two leaders, for example, in needing to be cautious about the approach to china, but they have very different ideas about the approach to russia. Above all, i think, theresa may will wa nt to above all, i think, theresa may will want to use this as an opportunity to get new the new president , to establish a personal relationship. She was asked about the fact that they are very difficult different characters. And she said sometimes opposites attract. Lets see how the personal chemistry looks when they hold their first personal chemistry looks when they hold theirfirstjoint personal chemistry looks when they hold their firstjoint News Conference later today. And of course she will be thinking about brexit violence back home as she meets donald trump. The labour, they continue to look like a incredibly divided party over this. One of the whips has said he wont follow the orders ofJeremy Corbyn and vote for the triggering of article 50. Diane abbott was making an interesting comment in an interview earlier. When she was asked about what would happen if labour did not get enough of its amendments through, she said labour would then review its position. Tell us more about that. Labour has been under a lot of pressure to clarify its position and i think it is with that in mind that Jeremy Corbyn decided that he would decide to impose what is called the three line whip, the strictest possible instruction to labour mps all to vote in favour of the bill. Weve already had one resignation from the front bench, there are a whole series of other more Junior Shadow Ministers who have said they would not be prepared to vote in favour of article 50. Diane abbott said she believed that labour mps should not defy the wishes of the people and should let this bill go through. But this is what she said. There is a very big democratic issue here. Mps voted for a referendum, there was an extraordinary high turnout, 72 . 70 Million People voted to leave. Many of the people in some of our poorest areas. How would it look if a bunch of politicians in london turned round and said we know you voted to leave but were just going to ignore you. That would be very undermining of democracy. So the shadow home secretary, the party leader, all trying to persuade labour mps to vote in favour of that bill but we still dont know what if any disciplinary action will be taken against Shadow Ministers who defy the party whip. Jeremy corbyn is someone the party whip. Jeremy corbyn is someone who was the party whip. Jeremy corbyn is someone who was a the party whip. Jeremy corbyn is someone who was a serial rebel for decades and it still remains to be seen decades and it still remains to be seen whether he has the Ruthless Strea K seen whether he has the ruthless streak or believed it even to be the right course to take to punish mps who defy him. Thank you. Plans to restrict some hip and knee operations in worcestershire have been described as alarming by the Royal College of surgeons. Three groups in the territory want to cut down the number of procedures. They insist they will continue to call carry out more operations than many parts of the country. Hip and knee operations can be a godsend to the people who get them and they are also expensive, up to £6,000 each. Three Clinical Commissioning Groups in worcestershire wanted to reduce their annual bill by 200 £2 million because they said they are spending more than other areas. It is said they considered restricting operations to those who are in such pain they cant sleep. In the end they didnt go that far but it is understood those criteria are used in some areas. A spokesman for the organisation for the over 50s said the Bean Counters shouldnt salmon their consciences. He said it was an outrage even to suggest that inability to sleep should be used in deciding eligibility for operation. The Royal College of surgeons said it was worried this example of Health Rationing was only the tip of the iceberg. Its statement went on, Health Spokesperson in worcestershire said many patients would benefit from physiotherapy and weight loss before considering surgery. Weight loss before considering surgery. Shes also said there was a clear appeals system. And with me now is our health correspondence. These three Commissioning Groups, are they clearly saying now that financial considerations will be a bigger part of their Decision Making process rather than pure clinical assessment of whether someone needs operation . They are saying there arent such financial pressure that this has to be a consideration they have to take into can separation how much pain and suffering that patients are in and how much their mobility is affected before they spend the money. They need to save money, they need to save Something Like £2 million, and they say by doing this they can meet their budget requirements. So, yes, in a way, not only clinical considerations but the amount of money available to spend on these operations is a fact of life. Why have they gone for these procedures, targeted these types of procedures . There are reports that people have to be in considerable pain, not able to be in considerable pain, not able to sleep at night, if they are going to sleep at night, if they are going to get through the threshold for having an operation. Theyve gone to this because it not emergency medicine, it is not something that has to be carried out or that person will die. Some people say they need carried out the operations promptly or the condition of the patient could get worse. But because they have to draw a line somewhere these are the people they have decided are least in need of a rapid operation. There are also making the point, and i think this is a really important sign of the times, that people who are obese, that have a bmi over 35, and ive been speaking to one this morning, he will be caught in this net. What they are saying is these people could help themselves to have a better outcome from their surgery by losing a bit of weight, going through physiotherapy, perhaps adapting their home in some ways, and that it would affect the outcome of the surgery as well. There is a push and a pull factor. It is not just financial, is it is also about improving the outcome of the operation. There is an excuse, if you like, to target these people. It is not purely done on the basis of funds. Lets take a look at the headlines. It is 60 minutes past 11. Theresa may is In Washington to meet President Trumpet to meet the trumps on talks.

Headteachers in west sussex and other parts of the country have been warning that schools are running out of cash. But only last year the government announced an extra £500 million for schools. As part of their plan to turn every school into an academy. School leaders have been asking what happened to that money. It has now emerged that when the academy plan was abandoned most of that money, £384 million, was in tax taken back by the treasury. The Education Department says this was the right thing to do and the schools are written seething record levels of funding.
