And the queens memories of her coronation 65 years ago. Plus her advice about how to wear a crown. You cant look down to read a speech, even have to take the speech up. If you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. And coming up in the sport on bbc news. Ahead of the start of the australian open, tennis great Billie Jean King has once again called for the Margaret Court arena to be renamed. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. President donald trump will not be visiting britain next month. He had been due to attend the official opening of the new us embassy in south london. He tweeted that he had cancelled the trip because hes not a big fan of the new embassy, which he said had been commissioned by his predecessor, barack 0bama. Downing street says an invitation for a state visit has been accepted but there is no firm date set and insists the strong and deep partnership will endure. The president is also under fire from the United Nations which criticised his reported crude comments about some countries as shocking and racist, although donald trump now denies using foul language. £1 billion of futuristic architecture with a moat for security. Now after a lot of will he, 20, donald trump will not be opening americas new London Embassy next month. As ever, the president took to twitter, claiming he had cancelled his trip here because the 0bama administration had sold the Old Us Embassy for peanuts, only to build a new one in an off location for more than 1 billion. Wanted me to cut ribbon. No. Perhaps the prospect of this on a much larger scale during the visit put the president. The mayor of london said they would have been mass, peaceful protests. 0ther labour politicians agree. He had the head of state of another country who has not only promoted hatred and division in his own country that 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 , to assist is bad for britain. An arrogant president , the most pro british for many years, it is an important relationship. An american president. I would like to see him deal with his critics in open, proper, public debate. What about the president s a that the sale of the president s a that the sale of the soon to be former us embassy in Grosvenor Square in mayfair was a bad deal . We dont know what qatari investors have pa id bad deal . We dont know what qatari investors have paid for a long leasehold on the building. The fact it isa leasehold on the building. The fact it is a great two 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. Iam 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. 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 are very close relationship between our two macro countries. Lets speak to our washington correspondent gary 0donoghue. In terms of those comments, there is very strong words from the United Nations. I think donald trump has been talking about this in the last few minutes. We have had what i think is a denial, that he used these terms he has just tweeted this. The language used by me was tough but this was not the language used. If that is a denial, it goes against what is said last night at the white house who did not deny he used that obscenity during the meeting. In fact they defended his sentiment during that meeting. We will see during the day whether or not he did actually say that. In multiple sources, it has been said he did. What is interesting also is a Senior Republicans here have not come out in numbers to condemn this. The leadership of the Republican Party has been absolutely silent. Even the only African American senator, republican senator, tim scott, he said it was disappointing to say the least. The criticism from the republican side was quite muted, even though you have the un and democrats condemning out right this use of language and i think poisoning potential negotiations that are going on at the moment between republicans and democrats, to fight to try to find a fix for the young people who are here through no fault of their own. 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 used social media to appeal for information about missing relatives found themselves subjected to intrusive attention. Judith moritz reports. The Manchester Arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost and many more were changed forever. 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 het. He 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 martin 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 did not find out officially till that evening that he was dead. The way the Emergency Services responded to the Emergency Services responded to the attack is already being reviewed by an independent panel. Now it will also examine the role in which the media played during the aftermath. We wa nt media played during the aftermath. We want to say what we need to learn is that much of the media handled families ina is that much of the media handled families in a very respectful way. We have heard examples where that was not the case and we think this needs to be explored and understood. 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 their experience has inspired a charterforfamilies 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 and put the needs of such families for their own reputations. What happened 30 years 01 so ago reputations. What happened 30 years or so ago is still, in many cases, there are echoes of it still today. We have seen that possibly with the g re nfell tower we have seen that possibly with the Grenfell Tower incident. It is an instinct to look internally at issues before telling the wider truth about what happened. In march, the full review into the citys response to the attack will be published, eight months after these 22 people died, theirfamilies lives are still dominated by the tragedy. A study of women with Breast Cancer suggests that having a double mastectomy doesnt 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. Our medical correspondent fergus walsh is with me. This is quite reassuring news. More than 2700 british women were followed over a decade for that it found that no matter what treatment they had, if they had a double mastectomy or if they had, or did not have, the brca gene mutation, survival chances were very good up to 80 over ten years. A lot of young women, and this is young women aged between 16 and 40, if they are carrying this faulty brca gene, they are offered the chance of having a double mastectomy for tbilisi is getting it young and they had this fa u lty getting it young and they had this faulty genes it could be a very aggressive form of Breast Cancer. This will give them more Treatment Choices because it will not be necessarily in that interests to have a double mastectomy that early on in their treatment. What is being said about prevention . What does this tell us . Completely separately from that, about one in 800 women carry this faulty brca gene for that they often find out because they have a mother, an aunt or a sister who has gone on to get Breast Cancer. They get tested and find they have the brca gene and do not have Breast Cancer. Many, like the actress angelina jolie, decide to have a double mastectomy. This is totally separate from that. That will probably continue. There is one limitation on this study. 0nly will probably continue. There is one limitation on this study. Only about 596 limitation on this study. Only about 5 of Breast Cancer cases occur in that very young age group. We do not know about the long term survival of women with Breast Cancer who get it ata women with Breast Cancer who get it at a much older age are more commonly say at the menopause or later. A huge fire engulfed a section of Nottingham Railway station this morning. Around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze, which began at about 6. 30am. No one was injured, but trains are still not stopping at 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 mornings rush hour. 60 firefighters were called to deal with the blaze while passengers and staff were safely evacuated. 0ur 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. Ive got firefighters here that have served 20 plus years and have said the heat they were exposed to heat 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, not just 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 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 im going to find out if i can actually get a coach to lincoln. Thousands of people are affected by this. Its not a Little Village station, its the main station for the midlands, basically, isnt it . So loads of people have been affected. Crazy. The fire is now under control, the joint police and Fire Investigation has been launched. A surgeon, who marked his initials on the livers of two patients, has been fined £10,000 and given a 12 Month Community order. Simon bramhall pleaded guilty to two counts of assault in december. The organs were branded in 2013 while the patients were undergoing liver transplants at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in birmingham. Sima kotecha reports. Simon bramhall, once the respected surgeon, 110w simon bramhall, once the respected surgeon, now a simon bramhall, once the respected surgeon, now a convicted criminal. Today he was given a £10,000 fine and a Community Service order after pleading guilty to assaulting two macro patients by marking his initials on their livers. His victims were undergoing liver transplants at the time. It was here, at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in birmingham, where he committed his offences. He marked the livers in 2013 and a year later, after a disciplinary hearing, he resigned from his post. The hospital says it can reassure his patients they suffered no harm because of what he did. 0ne they suffered no harm because of what he did. One of his other patients, who also underwent a transplant by him more than ten yea rs transplant by him more than ten years ago, is adamant the surgeon should not be punished. When all is said and done, and artist finds his work. That is what he has done. The difficulty in surgery and everything you have to do with it, 13 plus hours of standing in concentrating on something, it is amazing. So, signing his work is just his way of showing the artwork done. Simon bramhall branded sb on the organs with an aga and beam, hed injecting procedure usually used to stop any bleeding. This is compared with a minor external burns. The fact there is the high level of trust, the abuse of the trust and the vulnerability of patience and harm and distress caused by his actions and distress caused by his actions and the importance the public have confidence in their surgeons, that trust will be respected, which it invariably is. It is important the message goes out when that is breached, as it is here, action will be taken to hold him to account. He was caught after other surgeons found markings on livers he had transplanted. He betrayed the trust of patients and took advantage of them when they were at their most vulnerable. Now it is up to the General Medical Council to decide whether he will be struck off or allowed to continue doing the job he loves. Its 16 minutes past one. Our top story this lunchtime President Trump abandons plans to come to britain to open the new us embassy, but downing street says the invitation for a state visit has been accepted. And still to come hailed as the new princess of pop, and atjust 21, meet sigrid from norway, whos been taking the airwaves by storm. Coming up in sport, after 12 years at arsenal theo walcott could well be on his way out of the club this january. The everton boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed the teams have entered negotiations over a permanent transfer. 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. Shes 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 dont look down; as our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. She famously doesnt do interviews. This is probably as close as shell get. A conversation with questions about the coronation, the crown jewels, and the imperial state crown worn by her and herfather, 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 cant 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. Its not built for comfort. Horrible. Its not meant for travelling in at all. Its only sprung on leather. So, it rocks around a lot. Its 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 couldnt possibly go any faster. Its so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation the crown the real one. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. You can watch more about what the queen had to say in the bbc documentary the coronation which will be shown on sunday evening, at 8 oclock on bbc one. Theres been a breakthrough in marathon talks aimed at reviving a grand coalition in germany between the chancellor, Angela Merkels christian democrats and their rivals, the social democrats. The two sides have reached a preliminary deal and are now expected to discuss a Detailed Programme for government. Jenny hill is in berlin. Very lengthy talks, do we think there is an absolute deal now, explain what has happened. After marathon overnight talks fuelled largely we are told by currie burst, Angela Merkel emerged looking exhausted but triumphant to brief reporters. She has clinched this deal, achieving compromise on sticky policy areas like health, finance and rather predictably refugee policy. But she knows shes not out of the woods yet. That is because these were just exploratory talks. This success means that now formal Coalition Negotiations can go ahead but before they do, and this is the problem, would be Coalition Partners the social democrats have two as a party vote on if they want to let that happen. The problem with that is that many within the part, bearing in mind they were in coalition with the conservatives in the last term, blame Angela Merkel foran the last term, blame Angela Merkel for an appalling election result in september and did not want to go back into coalition with her, they think it would be disastrous for the party now. There is a lot of persuading to do, Angela Merkel this morning admitting that tricky times lay ahead. And the social democrats also reserve the right to veto at the very end of this process any coalition agreement. So a short term success for Angela Merkel but this whole period has left weakened. Her party is looking at potential successors. Im not saying it is the end of Angela Merkel but there is a sense that we are looking at the beginning of the end of the angela era. The government is being urged by unions to bring contracts from the construction giant carillion back into public control, amid fears that the company is close to collapse. Carillion, which employs nearly 20,000 people in the uk, has issued a number of profits warnings in the last few months. Its a major supplier to the government and has contracts in the rail industry, education and the nhs. Our business editor, simonjack, is with me. Just how much trouble is carillion in . A lot, it is £1. 5 billion in debt, it is running out of cash and need hundreds of millions more. Its a very hard company to sell as one of its competitors told me when i askedif of its competitors told me when i asked if they fancy buying it, they said if we wanted a loss making contract said if we wanted a loss making co ntra ct we said if we wanted a loss making contract we can write our own. And it has over half £1 billion pension deficit. There have been talks all week, that is the focus today, the pensions regulator talking to creditors of the company to figure out if it does collapse how much money the Pension Scheme which has 20,000 people will get. We had ministers from all over government converging to talk about this, people from justice and health, the department for transport of course, the business secretary and the treasury, it shows how sensitive this company is, everyone trying to figure out a way out of this mess. There is a possibility it could end up with the government having to support some of these contract in the short term because the banks which are owed £1. 5 billion and are being asked for more are reluctant to put more money in and they are in control and at any point could put it into administration. Some would argue that it was not quite a sensitive company they would have already done that. Facebook has announced what it says is a major change to its news feed prioritising posts from family and friends, over those from Media Organisations and businesses. 0ur media correspondent David Sillito reports. Facebooks founder Mark Zuckerberg had a new years resolution for 2018. Fix facebook. So what is he trying to fix . To understand what this is all about, let me log into my own facebook here. So this is my personal feed and when i scrolled down what have we got here . Some bbc science news. Bathrooms advert. More news. Some local news. And, oh, more video news. Im sure i do have some friends and family but i havent seen them yet. The algorithm, the Computer Programme that selects what you see pushes news stories and sponsored content and viral videos to the top of your news feed. Your cousins holiday snaps can often end up being buried. What created facebook, what made facebook huge, was that it became the venue for social interaction, it became the one place you could talk to your friends, your parents, your grandparents even and you could share those important photos, those moments in life. And i think it started to lose that. Its going back to that, which almost accidentally created such an enormous business model. I think thats what its got to do. We are the goose that lays the golden egg. Of course some newspapers and Media Companies are furious that their content and the Advertising Money they make off the back of it of it will not be pushed at you quite so aggressively. But theres also another issue. Facebooks been seen as enemy number one in spreading fake news. Some of those stories and videos you see are completely fabricated. Others have sent people down a rabbit hole of extremist content. The facebook brand has taken a bit of a knock. I think part of the problem with facebook is that saying which comes to mind, with great power comes great responsibility. I think this is a great example of them trying to show that they are up to the challenge. They have been burned because of the issues with things like the trump elections and interference with the russian advertisers and things like that. And there is also the other issue. The more you sit and watch rather than type and share, the less facebook knows about us. And that information is worth billions. David sillitoe, bbc news.
