Theyre due to have talks on friday. The announcement was made during Donald Trumps first day in office, which also saw a series of protests against his administration; and an onslaught against the media for inaccurate reporting. Our us correspondent david willis has more. Crowd hey, hey ho, ho donald trump has got to go in the nations capital, they have rarely seen a rally quite like this. Not since the vietnam war have so many people come together, in defence of womens rights and minority rights, liberties these people believe could be imperilled by the presidency of donald trump. The man himself was visiting the headquarters of the cia whilst that rally was underway, less concerned about secrets, it appeared, than crowd sizes, in particular reports of the attendance at his inauguration the previous day. I made a speech. I looked out, the field was. It looked like a million, 1. 5 million people. They showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. That theme was echoed in an unscheduled News Conference a short while later. Before confirming that britains theresa may would be the first foreign leader to visit President Trump, the new White House Press spokesman railed against reports that mr trump had failed to attract as large a crowd to his inauguration as barack obama. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong. Official estimates of crowd sizes are not released, but aerial photographs appear to contradict the Trump Administrations assessment. Nonetheless, mr spicer, in his first briefing at the white house, went on to issue a thinly veiled threat to reporters covering the trump presidency. Were going to hold the press accountable, as well. He will take his message directly to the american people, where his focus will always be. Size clearly matters greatly to donald trump, and regardless of the inauguration crowds, the crowd at yesterdays protest was so large that a March On The White House proved impossible, because there were so many people present. It is a question of which will ultimately prove the most unpalatable to the new administration, the messenger or the message. We will talk about the planned meeting between donald trump and theresa may. The Ministry Of Defence has insisted it has full confidence in the Trident Nuclear defence system, despite reports that a rare test firing went wrong last year. The sunday times says a missile fired from a submarine in the Atlantic Ocean veered off course and in the direction of the United States. The rocket was not armed. Andy moore reports. This is what the launch of a Trident Missile looks like. It is an expensive business. Even an unarmed missile costs around £70 million, so it doesnt happen very often. No video has been released of last years launch, because, says The Sunday Times, it went badly wrong. According to the paper, Hms Vengeance was stationed about 200 miles off the coast of florida. It was due to fire the missile 5,600 miles, to a location off the west coast of africa. Instead the rocket veered off target, heading towards the us. All this was just a few weeks before a crucial vote in parliament to spend £40 billion on building a new generation of trident submarines. One labour former Defence Minister is now calling for an inquiry. The government hasnt denied that the missile from Hms Vengeance may have veered off course, but it said the capability and effectiveness of the Trident Missile was unquestionable. In a statement, a spokesman added. The government and the Prime Minister are now expect to face further questions about what exactly did happen with the Trident Launch Last year. Long delays in assessing the needs of patients are fuelling a bed blocking crisis in hospitals, according to the watchdog, healthwatch england. Research seen by the bbcs 5 live investigates programme suggests many social care assessments are failing to happen in the recommend time of six weeks. The Department Of Health has said its investing £900 million of additionalfunding into the system over two years. We have an ageing population and more older people are needing care for longer and they often have more than one long term condition. It is easy to find somebody to blame but the whole system is grossly underfunded both in hospital and the timidity. The former president of the gambia, yahya jammeh, has flown into exile 22 years after taking control of the west african state in a coup. He sparked a political crisis when he refused to accept the outcome of the countrys election. But finally agreed to hand over power to the winner, adama barrow, after the leaders of neighbouring countries threatened military action. French voters will begin the process of choosing a president ial candidate for the Ruling Socialist Party today. The current president , francois hollande, announced last month that he wont be standing for re election. Our correspondent Hugh Schofield is in paris how does this fit into the way the french president ial election is shaping up . It means that in this primary the continuity candidate is not the president which should normally be that he is so unpopular he has decided not to run again. It is the man who used to be the Prime Minister who stood down a few years a few weeks ago who represents a right wing of the Socialist Party broadly, up against a couple of key characters who represent much more the left of the party. There are other candidates as well but what will happen with end of today is probably that one of the left wing characters will go through along with manuel valls. In reality the polls show that whoever winds this socialist Party Primary is in a terrible position. Fifth place currently amongst all the candidates in the president ial race behind not just the National Front and the mainstream right but against two other candidates from the ce ntre left other candidates from the centre left in the far left who are out pulling the Socialist Bloc will now have been the main Left Wing Party and that speaks volumes about the appalling state of the ruling socialists right now. A charity says many local authorities and clinical Commissioning Groups in england are doing too little to encourage women to have smear tests. Jos Cervical Cancer trust found embarrassment and worries about pain were putting many people off. Our health reporter, Smitha Mundasad has the details. A smear of lipstick to encourage women not to ignore their smear tests. They are offered to women aged 25 to 64, to help prevent Cervical Cancer. Last yea rs campaign drew celebrity support, from the Model Cara Delevingne to reality star lauren pope, a smear of lipstick to encourage women not and the charity behind it says this year their message has never been more important. At the moment, in england, for example, the number of women who attend cervical screening is at a 19 year low. That is hugely concerning, because if it carries on, we are going to see more women diagnosed, we are sadly going to see more women passing away, and we just dont want that to happen. The charitys latest survey suggests half of women aged 25 to 29 have put off getting a smear test. The reasons more than a quarter said they were too embarrassed, a similar numbersaid they were worried about pain, and almost one in ten said they had never had the test at all. Nhs england says it is particularly worried about the fall in young women getting smears in the last few years, because that has been linked to a rise in women under 35 getting Cervical Cancer. It says it is working on projects to encourage more young women to take up the tests. The time new cars are allowed on britains roads before they need an mot could go up from three to four years, under government proposals. The Department For Transport said Safer Technology and improved manufacturing means new vehicles stay roadworthy for longer. The change, which could come in from 2018, would bring britain in line with Northern Ireland and many other european countries. It sounds like the plot to a Classic American Road trip movie. Five Young Adventurers make a perilous coast to coastjourney to build a new life in the west. Well, now its happened in real life to a group of baby raccoons. They were born in a truck in florida, which was driven to california. The driver only discovered his stowaways four days later. The racoons are now being cared for at a local zoo until a new, more permanent home is found. How special will the so called Special Relationship be under the new us president . Number 10 will be pleased with the initial signs, after confirmation the Prime Minister will become the first foreign leader to meet donald trump when she flies to washington later this week. Nadhim zahawi mp is a member of the Foreign Affairs committee and joins us from Central London now. How much do you think it can be achieved at this first meeting . think it is quite important meeting. Donald trump s interview in the times last week spoke about the importance of Bilateral Trade Agreement with the uk and the with their ties that. During the campaign he spoke about wanting better Trade Agreements, especially country to country agreements. He did not like the big global agreements. Country agreements. He did not like the big globalagreements. I country agreements. He did not like the big global agreements. I think pa rt of the big global agreements. I think part of that Special Relationship, i think theresa may will be pushing very hard. As soon as we are out of eu, to have the United States uk Trading Agreement in place before Anything Else. That would take many yea rs Anything Else. That would take many years till we have out of the eu and we do not know what the terms of brexit will be although we know what she wants now. That is not a lot concrete they can agree on at this stage, is there . We will trigger article 50 by the end of march and then negotiations proper will begin which could take up to two years. There is a lot of preparatory work which can be done. I am on the Foreign Affairs committee as you know and i have come back from a trip to turkey. The president they are talks about the Trade Agreement with the uk as soon as he can make it happen. Other countries such as india and china and new zealand and australia, many countries are looking to the uk. Depending on how you count it we are the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world and the United States of america and presence of trump wants to see america do well and he sees that strong Trading Agreement with the uk asa strong Trading Agreement with the uk as a priority. Seeing america do well is key here. I know as a supporter of brexit you were very keen to leave the eu but the message from donald trump is it is America First and you get the impression whatever deals he signs will be in americas interests. And Upper Minister says that everything she does before Anything Else on the first day that she took office, both leaders will take a robust position of negotiation and we will negotiate from a strong position because were not a small economy. America already has bilateral Trading Agreements with other countries around the world and it can make this happen. Mrtrump has world and it can make this happen. Mr trump has promised that he was this to happen so i think lets not begin the process by being negative of america, lets be positive and protagonists look forward. One of the paper reports this morning that theresa may will bring up the subject of his derogatory comments about women in the past when she meets. Do you expect that to happen and if so what will she say to him . Our ambassador, a fantastic ambassador with long experience and also in eu negotiations, he will be able to talk to the Trump Administration about how we are going to come out of the eu and how we will negotiate. Theresa may will tackle the difficult questions but as candidate trump said at the time the staff is media tittle tattle. He is actually won an election and we have to respect the democracy of the United States of america as they respect their own democracy with the brexit board. Yes you have tough conversations but at the same time you try to get off with a strong start and the Special Relationship. A p pa re ntly start and the Special Relationship. Apparently he reversed her as his maggie. Do you think that is how theresa may sees herself . He refers to her. She is old woman as you have seen a steely determination to make sure she gets the best deal for the eu watches bombarded by your collea g u es for the eu watches bombarded by your colleagues in the media about wanting to reveal her hand and she is stuck to her position saying she will not reveal her Negotiation Position and i think it is beginning to pay dividends. Many people i know in the Business Committee have come round to that position. The brexit Prime Minister will be bombarded with questions. She will be a guest on the Andrew Marr Show on bbc i at 9 this morning. Heres nick with a look at this mornings weather. I frost in ifrost in derbyshire. It is not i frost in derbyshire. It is not as cold as it is in South East England. It is 8 cold as it is in South East England. It is 8 in fessenden in kent. Frittenden. You can expect cloud in scotla nd frittenden. You can expect cloud in scotland and ireland and where you have that also north west england you have patchy and light rain and perhaps a few wintry flies out they are causing things to be a little bit i see on any untreated surfaces. That hard frost in east anglia and South East England may well stay in the shade today but there is plenty of sparkling sunshine on the way in the xavier s. Elsewhere sunshine will be limited. I think will be some in Northern Ireland and initially the fire after scotland will get off to a frosty start. Much of scotla nd will get off to a frosty start. Much of scotland rather cloudy and part of scotland rather cloudy and part of north england and wales some sunshine. A chance of some photos of rain in scotland. Another cold night to come tonight with a frost developing again and maybe just the odd lecture initially but that will clear. Then we are watching this. This is for developing and parts of england and wales. This is where the greatest risk is overnight and some of it could be dense freezing fog. Not for everybody but it is worth checking the situation near you before heading out in the morning because it could cause a few problems. It is notjust monday morning, it is Tuesday Morning with that potential as well. Some of that will be very slow to clear. Monday morning there will be a few places that hold onto that even into the afternoon and where that is the case no better than freezing. Elsewhere available cloud and some sunny spells. And they stay to come for monday with dentures and three degrees to 6 degrees temperatures just getting little higher than that. Chilly spells in england and wales later this week and eventually scotla nd wales later this week and eventually scotland and Northern Ireland will turn more unsettled that it will ta ke turn more unsettled that it will take some time. Plenty of scraping jane austen is one of britains favourite authors, but theres lots of debate about what she actually looked like only one portrait was taken of her when she was alive, a sketch made by her sister. That was one of the challenges facing the artist whos been tasked with creating whats thought to be the first public statue of the writer to mark 200 years since her death. Ben moore went to have a look. Piano music. How quick come the reasons for approving what we like. Jane austen in her novel, persuasion. It i
