President Trump begins his first full day back in the White House

President Trump begins his first full day back in the White House, having signed a flurry of executive orders and making other policy announcements immediately after his inauguration on Monday. The new president also issued pardons or commutations for more than 1,500 people convicted or charged in connection with the Capitol riots four years ago.

Also in the programme: another dramatic day in South Korean politics as the impeached president appears in court; and Israel launches a major offensive in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
