As Britain prepares to leave the European Union, | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
the First Minister of Scotland calls for a new referendum | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
So could Brexit lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom? | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Nicola Sturgeon says a second referendum should be held | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
between autumn 2018 and spring 2019 once the terms of the UK's exit | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
I believe that it would be wrong for Scotland to be taken down a path | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
that it has no control over, regardless of the consequences | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
for our economy, for our society, for our place in the world, | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
for our very sense of who we are as a country. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
But it's up to the British Government and the Parliament | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
in Westminster to decide if and when that vote takes place. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
Instead of playing politics with the future of our country, | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
the Scottish Government should focus on delivering good government | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
and public services for the people of Scotland. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Meanwhile, the British Parliament will vote this evening | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
whether to give the Prime Minister the power to start | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Congress's House Intelligence Committee demands from the President | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
that his phones were wiretapped just before the election. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
After Turkey's ministers are blocked from attending | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
some European rallies, President Erdogan threatens | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
to take the Netherlands to the European Court and accuses | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Blizzards in America's North East forces German Chancellor Merkel | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
to reschedule her trip to the White House. | :01:36. | :01:51. | |
I'm Katty Kay in Washington, Christian Fraser is in London. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
It is 53 days since Donald Trump took office, it's 233 days | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
since Britain voted to leave the European Union. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
So much has happened since then and yet nothing | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
at all has happened - at least in terms of the formal | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Tonight, the UK Parliament takes its final vote | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
on the Brexit legislation, which should clear the way | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
for the Prime Minister to begin the process. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
It has just rejected both of the amendments. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
And on the eve of that historic vote, word from the First Minister | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
of Scotland today that she wants another independence referendum. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
I can confirm today that, next week, I will seek the authority | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
of the Scottish Parliament to agree with the UK Government the details | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
of a section 30 order, the procedure that will enable | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
the Scottish Parliament to legislate for an independence referendum. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
The UK Government was clear, in 2014, that an independence | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
referendum should, in their words, be made in Scotland | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
That is a principle that should be respected today. | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
The detailed arrangements for a referendum, | :02:57. | :02:57. | |
including its timing, must be for the Scottish | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
However, in my view, it is important that Scotland | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
is able to exercise the right to choose our own future | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
at a time when the options are clearer than they are now, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
but before it is too late to decide our own path. | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
Well, the British Prime Minister has delivered a forthright response, | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
accusing Nicola Sturgeon of tunnel vision. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
As we negotiate to leave the European Union, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
I want to negotiate an agreement that is going to work for the whole | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
of the United Kingdom that includes the Scottish people. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
That's why we've been working closely with the devolved | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
administrations, we've been listening to their proposals | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
and recognising the many areas of common ground that we have, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
such as protecting workers' rights and our security | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
The tunnel vision that the SNP has shown today is deeply regrettable. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
It sets Scotland on a course for more uncertainty and division, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
creating huge uncertainty, and this at a time when the evidence | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
is that the Scottish people, the majority of the Scottish people, | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
do not want a second independence referendum. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
So, instead of playing politics with the future of our country, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
the Scottish Government should focus on delivering good government | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
and public services for the people of Scotland. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Our Scotland editor, Sarah Smith, is in Edinburgh for us now. | :04:21. | :04:32. | |
The First Minister is a very smart politician. I am sure in private she | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
has guessed that the Prime Minister will not give an independence | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
referendum in the midst of these complex Brexit negotiations so if | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
she has worked that out what is her political calculation here? She is | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
asking for that referendum to be before the UK leads the EU. She says | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
there is a window when Scotland should be allowed another vote on | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
whether or not it should become an independent country. The UK | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Government seems unlikely to allow that, they do not want to fight a | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
referendum campaign at the same time as negotiating Brexit, so they will | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
try to insist this be held after March 20 19. There is bound to be a | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
tussle over the next few weeks and months that might suit Nicola | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Sturgeon well because a lot of her argument is she has been forced into | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
the position of holding this referendum because the UK Government | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
are not listening to Scotland and the wishes and she could use it to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
strengthen the argument, if she changes the date. Could she force | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
Theresa May to delay her timetable in triggering Article 50? There are | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
reports that that might happen. We were never absolutely sure when | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Theresa May was due to trigger Article 50. There was speculation | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
that might happen tomorrow and that is why Nicola Sturgeon made that | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
announcement today. Of course, Theresa May now has to die just this | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
fairly momentous news from Edinburgh which would have taken this by her | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
surprise. -- has the digest. She will not want to look as though her | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
timetable has been knocked off course because she says her full | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
focus is on making Brexit work and she does not want to look like she | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
has been derailed. Stephen Gethins is the Europe | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
spokesperson for the If you really want the big UK to get | :06:40. | :06:51. | |
the best possible Brexit deal, and let us remember that this is your | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
biggest single market, surely you would hold off until this very | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
complex negotiation has been completed? The Scottish Government | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
has already proposed the best deal, to remain part of the European | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Union, that is the best deal we have got. But the next best deal would | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
have been to obtain membership of the single market and that is why | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
the Scottish Government proposed a compromise before Christmas time to | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
the UK Government. We said, we will put to one side membership of the | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
European Union, even though we voted in favour of remaining, and we'd | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
retain membership of the single market. That is the least worst | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
option for jobs in the economy. And the least worst option for the UK as | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
a whole. We try to help out the UK Government compromise but they do | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
not appear willing to take a compromise. The European Union has | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
signalled he would have to begin the process as a new accession country, | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
meaning he would have to come in line with the new economic terms, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
meaning a deficit of 3%. At the moment, your deficit is 8-10% and | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
the economic facts have not changed since 2014 so how will you sell that | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
to the Scottish public? The UK is heavily in debt and it is due to get | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
worse, given the disastrous economic decision to take us out of the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
European Union. What is more, Scotland as a country has met the | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
rules for being a member of the European Union, it would be a net | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
contributor because we are one of the richer members, and is already a | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
member of the European Union. If you saw the European Parliament's chief | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
negotiator, there is an openness and willingness for Scotland to continue | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
its membership of the EU. Just to be absolutely clear, do you have | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
private assurances from the European Union that they would accept | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Scotland as a new country? This is still an internal member state issue | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
for the United Kingdom but what has been interesting is not so much the | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
private reassurances but the public reassurances. Jean-Claude Juncker | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
said Scotland needs to be listened to. We have heard the same words | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
coming out of Burling, Dublin and elsewhere. That has been a shift | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
since the last independence referendum. We would have this | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
referendum in totally different circumstances than the previous one. | :09:40. | :09:51. | |
It seems like you're just playing with a very weak hand. Since 2014, | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
when you did not manage to get the referendum you wanted, the price of | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
oil has collapsed, and the still is not total unanimity amongst EU | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
members. There are an fact fairly big objections from other members as | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
having Scotland as an independent country. Most recently, we have had | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
the Spanish and the People's party in Spain saying you cannot compare | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Scotland with Catalonia, of course Scotland is a totally different | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
case. I am not sure that argument stacks up any more. Also, from an | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
economic point of view, the most damaging thing that can happen the | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Scottish economy is leaving the European Union and the single | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
market. The Institute of the University of Strathclyde have | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
estimated this could cost Scotland 80,000 jobs in Scotland alone. This | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
is a shock to our economy and devastation to jobs and the economy | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
that we can ill afford. So the First Minister's plea today is to save | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
jobs and the economy and retain our membership of the European Union and | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
retain a secure a relationship with the rest of Europe. Did you hear | :11:09. | :11:20. | |
firm cast-iron guarantees and reassurances the, because I did not? | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
Know, but they did make the point that they would not just be able to | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
go into the European Union as an existing member, they would have to | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
go through the full process, and the economic facts are still as they | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
were in 2014, particularly regarding the currency and deficit. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Potentially even worse for the price of oil. Let's look at what has | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
changed and what has not changed. What has changed is the argument | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
because the SNP have always embraced this idea that Scots will only vote | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
for independence in Scotland is thriving. They are saying now is | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
not, can Scotland afford to be independent but can Scotland afford | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
not to be independent? Mr Gethin is said we need to be in the single | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
market which is a strange argument when you consider that the UK | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
market, the biggest market they have this four times the size of the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
European market. Would it mean the people in Scotland would vote for | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
independence? That is not the case either because we know that trump | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
nationalistic and Sturgeon nationalistic economics are potent. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
I dare the other plenty of affluent middle-class people in Scotland who | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
voted Remain in the EU referendum and are probably thinking, this | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
time, I will not put the same store in projects via as it did last time. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Which is why these conversations they are having with European | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
leaders are so critical and why we need to get to the bottom of why | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
they have been given guarantees. That would presumably influenced the | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
way Scots might vote. You are right. One thing we learnt in 2016 is | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
people vote with their hearts as much as their heads. Absolutely, and | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
timing is crucial here. It is crucial for the Prime Minister | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
because she said today she does not want to fight on two France. We will | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
probably not see a referendum until after 2019. She will be hoping the | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
UK economy is sufficiently strong that it would put people off in | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Scotland from going down this route. But the timing is also crucial for | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Nicola Sturgeon as well. She wants to take advantage of an economic | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
downturn in the UK, that is probably her best hope, so the timing for | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
both leaders critical at this moment. I think what will be so | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
fascinating, over the next two years, not just the deal that the UK | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
gets and that Theresa May manages to negotiate with Brussels, but also | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
the impact that it has on the United Kingdom. What is surprising is the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
amount people are watching from the side of the Atlantic. There are a | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
lot of supporters for Brexit from the trump campaign. But I wonder | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
whether the White House would think of Scottish independence as a result | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
of Brexit. Just finished on that point, today, you got the Sinn Fein | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
party in Northern saying they need a vote a united Ireland, Plaid Cymru | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
talked about a similar discussion in Wales, and the SNP, the union | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
certainly looks fairly fragile. We will put that argument to the one of | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
the cheap Brexit architects later. We have had two votes on the | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
amendments. There has been little sign of the Conservative rebellion | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
in all of this. These were the changes at the House of Lords, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
wanting to guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the United | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Kingdom, the second one was about securing a final vote, a vote on the | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
deal that Theresa May gets at the end of the process of negotiation, | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
but both of those changes have been overturned by the House of Commons. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
It will now go back to the upper chamber again, to the House of | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
Lords, where they will consider it one more time. Indications there art | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
that Labour opposition peers have not seen any sign that the | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
government will give way on this. They do not see any point in | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
pursuing this any further. It seems that this Brexit bill will pass its | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
final Parliamentary hurdle tonight and that leaves Theresa May very | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
much able to trigger Article 50 when she chooses to. I am told that it | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
will not be this week, it will happen towards the end of March. | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
The House Intelligence Committee has given the Trump administration | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
until the end of today to provide evidence that phones at Trump Tower | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
in New York were wiretapped just before the election. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked a question | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
about this at a briefing a short time ago. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
Here's a little of what he had to say. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
He doesn't really think that President Obama went up | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
I think there's no question that the Obama administration, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
that there were actions about surveillance and other | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
activities that occurred in the 2016 election. | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
That is a widely reported activity that occurred back then. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
The president used the word "wiretap" the mean broadly | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
surveillance and other activities during that. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
It is interesting how many news outlets reported that this activity | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
was taking place during the 2016 election cycle, and now | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
It is many of the same outlets in this room that talked | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
about the activities that were going on back then. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Well, President Obama's Director of National Intelligence, | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
James Clapper, says Trump's Twitter claims are entirely baseless. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
But that didn't stop Senior White House advisor | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Kellyanne Conway suggesting on Sunday that the alleged | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
surveillance may have gone beyond listening | :17:16. | :17:16. | |
What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
There was an article this week that talked about how you can surveil | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
someone through their phones, through their television sets, | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
any number of different ways, and microwaves that turn | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
So we know that that is just a fact of modern life. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Well, Kellyanne was referring there to last week's WikiLeaks | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
revelations that the CIA has hacking tools for breaking into computers, | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
cell phones even smart TVs but, this morning, she backtracked. | :17:50. | :18:05. | |
They weren't making a suggestion about Trump Tower, those | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
And I answered him about surveillance generally. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
But you have no evidence that that kind of surveillance | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
I have no evidence but that's why there's | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Well, there was this reaction from the President Trump, who took | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
He wrote, "It is amazing how rude much of the media is to my very | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Well, to get more on these allegations, we're joined | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
in the studio by William Cohen, former Defence Secretary and former | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
He also served on the Intelligence Committee for over a decade. | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
Is the onus here on the White House to prove that what President trump | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
accused President Obama of doing, a crime, he has evidence on that? We | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
are seeing an example of fake news coming directly out of the White | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
House. Just last week, the president was getting compliments for being | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
presidential because he wrote a speech. This is not presidential | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
conduct. The issue a tweet accusing a former president of committing a | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
felony without any evidence whatsoever. It is not saying, | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
Congress, please help me find out what is on my own department. All he | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
has to do is pick up the phone and say, tell me what happened. But the | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
ship that the Congress to conduct an investigation is sending Congress | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
down a rabbit hole. I think this is nonsense. So you do not think the | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
media is wrong to be asking questions about this? Until you have | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
proof of something as outrageous as this, we will cover something else, | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
we will not be diverted and covering all of this while other things going | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
on, people are being arrested and moved out of the United States, | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
actions are being taken, attorneys are being fired, rights are being | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
rolled back. We are now trying to find out what he meant, was it | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
surveillance, wiretapping, your phone? This is nonsense. This is | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
1984! The media has an obligation to tell the president he has facts and | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
to bring them forward. Not tomorrow, next week, next month, do it on your | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
own and do not make comments like this without facts. Essentially what | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
we are saying is we cannot trust what the president of the United | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
States is saying that has big implications not only the | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
relationships internally but externally, his credibility | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
worldwide? Credibility suffers. Not only does his credibility suffered | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
but that of the United States. We are seeing the US is portrayed as a | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
circus in which people are running around with bells and whistles, | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
trying to find out what the facts are. It is fake news in any event. | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
Facts really do count. The world is turning faster and faster and is | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
becoming more dangerous and the last thing we need is to be having fake | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
news put out. We are being seen as a circus. Thank you for joining us. | :21:27. | :21:50. | |
It is quite extraordinary the rhetoric and how it has escalated. | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
In one respect, neither side can back down. In the Netherlands, she | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
is facing up with the Nationalists and the far right politician in the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Netherlands, then you have got Mr Erdogan in Turkey who needs the | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
support of the nationalist -based. Definitely. It is a critical time | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
for both countries. Both will have elections in two days' time and in | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
Turkey, there is this referendum. And President Erdogan desperately | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
needs the Nationalists in Turkey because even though he has got the | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
support of the nationalist party, there is a crack in the base, so not | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
all of them are supporting him because these amendments will | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
increase his powers massively. He could not get the full support of | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
Nationalists in Turkey. It is like his last attempt to approach them | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
and filled the nationalist values. Reading some of the comments here. | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
Ankara should re-evaluate part of the deal they signed last year to | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
restrict the flow of migrants into Europe. This is a stick that they | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
can beat the Europeans with and they have used it before, and it would be | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
particularly potent when the French and Germans are going to the polls. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Turkey has been playing this card since last year. The agreement came | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
into effect last March and since then, the number of migrants who are | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
trying to cross into Europe or Turkey, the number of them has | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
declined dramatically, and Turkish citizens have been given these are | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
free travel promise, but it has not been fulfilled. So Turkey or the | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
time, after this agreement came into effect, using this card against | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Europe, saying, we will open our borders and you will deal with that | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
problem. Interesting, we will watch that closely. This is exactly what | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
Bill Cowan was talking about, that there are moments in the world, that | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
the world is moving fast, where they get the crisis points. How are other | :24:16. | :24:27. | |
powers going to deal with that deterioration of relations where we | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
have had a president where people say not ready? I wonder what they | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
are thinking of what is happening in Turkey and what President Erdogan is | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
doing in a White House that frankly is not even staffed. That is exactly | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
edge. Four months ago, the Secretary of State would be wading in and | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
tried to cool heads and bang heads together. That is not happening. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Europe is very much on its own at the moment. Some of the comments | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
that are coming from Mr Erdogan really do rankle with particularly | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
the Dutch, the core of the Dutch Nazis after the history they have, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
the occupation, and the number of people that died in the Netherlands, | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
it is really too much. You have seen some of the reaction we have had | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
today from the Netherlands. It would be interesting to know, even amongst | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Mr Erdogan's supporters, who are thinking you has gone too far this | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
time. You wonder who will step in before that referendum because he is | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
now saying he will travel to Europe and get involved himself. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
You're watching 100 Days from BBC News. | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
Still to come for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News? | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
We will be live in Westminster where MPs have voted in favour of | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
legislation, clearing the way for Britain to lead the way for | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
withdrawing from the European Union. It has been a mild start of the week | :25:53. | :26:13. | |
and a really pleasant one. The best of the sunshine has been in East | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Anglia, south-east England. But also, in Northern Ireland, where the | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
temperatures reached 16.6 Celsius, the warmest day of the year so far | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
in Northern Ireland. Some areas of cloud have drifted south-eastwards. | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
It could well be that cloud has increased overnight. A mild Emerson | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
control, meaning temperatures will not go down too far. Outbreaks of | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
rain running in the north-west Scotland, becoming increasingly | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
lighter and patchy. By the end of the night, look at how this | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
temperatures stay up. Let's take a look at things at 8am. Mr nil for | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
ground. Could well be a bit damp and drizzly. Some brighter breaks across | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
central and eastern parts of England by a similarly misty, murky picture | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
into the high ground of north-west England. Could well brighten up a | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
time in Northern Ireland in the morning. Sunny spells in Scotland by | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
a strong wind across the North and severe gales here. The Northern and | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
western isles, just sent excess of 70 mph, particularly around some of | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
the showers. Elsewhere, variable cloud, some bright sunny spells, the | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
risk of patchy rain coming back from Northern Ireland, anywhere towards | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
the western hills could be dampened drizzly. In any sunshine, we could | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
see 18 Celsius. When the sun comes out, it feels very mild once again. | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
Some of that patchy rain further south as we go through Tuesday | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
evening and overnight. On Wednesday, an area of cloud. Still some showers | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
of rain in the northern Scotland, not as windy. The rain front we as | :28:02. | :28:12. | |
it pushes south on Wednesday but more weather fronts are coming our | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
way at the end of the week, ganging up on the Atlantic with stronger | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
winds as well. We will see a transition by the end of this week | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
lasting into the weekend to cooler weather, windy weather, and for many | :28:24. | :28:25. | |
of us, wetter weather. Welcome back to 100 days. I'm | :28:26. | :30:21. | |
Christian Fraser in London. Catty case in Westminster. | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
MPs at Westminster have overwhelmingly voted to overturn | :30:25. | :30:26. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May could theoretically start | :30:27. | :30:28. | |
the formal process of leaving the European Union, | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
And coming up we will be at the Mexico City that receives more | :30:32. | :30:41. | |
deportees than any other place on the southern border. | :30:42. | :30:53. | |
The now to a turbulent day in which is politics, Nicola Sturgeon will | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
try to hold a second referendum. And there is the policy of Brexit, they | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
are trying to start the Brexit process, they have rejected two | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
amendments from the House of Lords, earlier we heard from the Scottish | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
Nationalists and soda is here from the Brexit side, Dominic Robb was | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
one of the more vocal guys on the Brexit side. The Prime Minister said | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
"I will never allow a divisive Nationalists to undermine the union | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
between the nations of our United Kingdom. " Isn't that what Brexit | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
has done? I don't think so, we can't stop the SNP because sturgeon | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
continuing with this pretty obsessive tunnel vision towards | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
another referendum if that is really what they want but I'm not sure it | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
is what the Scottish people want. It is to the least to have this pledge | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
made now before we had even started a letter knowing where we know where | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
we will end up with the outcome of the Brexit negotiations. I think the | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
best thing that we can do is going to these negotiations with a very | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
clear mandate from Parliament, the economy is strong, going and looking | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
for the best deal we can get for every part and nation of the United | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
Kingdom. While we are at it, the generosity of spirit for the | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
European friends and look for the win- win deals. Of course the SNP | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
would say that people on the Brexit side have tunnel vision, let me ask | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
you, does the Scottish announcement today weakened the bargaining | :32:28. | :32:33. | |
position? First of all when the Prime Minister gave her Lancaster | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
house speech, in the polling that followed, there was huge public | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
support for the vision of post-Brexit Britain with a | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
self-governing democracy and strong European trading ally and friend but | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
also broadening our horizons to be a global leader and it was very | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
interesting, if you look at some of that evidence, there was clear | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
support in Scotland for that vision and I think we should get on. We | :32:59. | :33:04. | |
can't control what the SNP does, with democracy and a devolved | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
settlement. We are absolutely going to respect it, she is at liberty to | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
decide, and say what she wants to do. I'm just not sure that is where | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
the Scottish people are right now, that is for her to argue and she | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
will want to get easily decisions arguing for the best deal, in every | :33:22. | :33:29. | |
quarter of the United Kingdom. If we don't get an announcement that the | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
Prime Minister is triggering Article 50 tomorrow, is it fair to assume | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
that is a bit of a political victory for Nicola Sturgeon? I think it was | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
becoming evident from earlier in the day that the precise time, day or | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
week remains to be seen because what we are ready concerned about, is | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
less the political priorities and more what is the landscape in the | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
context of the EU and there is a huge amount going on but the truth | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
is, what we know today, is that we have got this very strong, clear | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
mandate from Parliament as well as directly for people through the | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
referendum. The economy is strong, the post-Brexit vision, but into a | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
white Paper, has attracted strong and overwhelming public support and | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
indeed support across the United Kingdom and all nations of the | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
United Kingdom. We need to crack on and focus on delivering it. And to | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
go into it with a bit of ambition and self-confidence. We have | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
debated, the bill on triggering Article 50, for six weeks. One | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
clause debated for six weeks, we have had these arguments, what the | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
public overwhelmingly wants is to get onto these negotiations and get | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
the best deal for everyone, whether they voted to leave or Remainers. | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
Thank you very much for joining the programme. Since Donald Trump, has | :34:53. | :35:00. | |
become the president, any illegal alien who is suspected of a crime is | :35:01. | :35:04. | |
not a priority for deportation. It means more fear of being deported. | :35:05. | :35:12. | |
The BBC's Juan Paullier reports from Tijuana which receives | :35:13. | :35:14. | |
more deportees than any other place along the US-Mexican border. | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
I am an American. MUSIC no other city on the US- Mexico border has a | :35:18. | :35:36. | |
more intimate relationship. For this hip hop artist who lives in the US | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
but has family on both sides of the wall, it has to find his music. | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
Because of my spirits is growing up, and knowing that my family members | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
in order to be with me, they are going to have to cross a border and | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
potentially get arrested. I made an effort not to put borders and | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
restrictions on my music. He has relatives among the estimated 11 | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
million undocumented immigrants in the US. Trump's anti immigrant | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
rhetoric has left him treading the prospect of his family breaking up. | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
I had a family member who had to go into a government building and from | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
the moment that we got the scheduled date, to the actual date, there is a | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
lot of tension, there is a lot of arguments at home. Because of the | :36:23. | :36:30. | |
fear. There is a very real fear that anything could happen to our | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
families at any given moment. If deported, his relative may end up in | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
Tijuana. The city receives more deportees than any other city. For | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
those deported it is a painful paradox, they fill their foreigners | :36:46. | :36:53. | |
in the place they were born in. 530 is the area code. Tag twos tell a | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
story of a life involved in gangs, and drugs and guns. He spent his | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
teenage years in jail but was deported to Mexico because he was | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
born there. He was dropped into a place he barely knew, having to | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
speak a language that he had already forgotten. I think what I want to | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
say in image and I have to translate it in my mind to be able to say it, | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
and somewhat I can't even pronounce in Spanish. Third Israeli the reason | :37:21. | :37:27. | |
why, call centres have worked out for me. These are call centres and | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
many of the people working here have been deported from the US. It might | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
be surprising to people to know that they are talking to tattooed ex-gang | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
members. Chris is a supervisor and doesn't even think of going back to | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
his old life, but the new one hasn't been easy. Sometimes people don't | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
even give you that opportunity, they say he doesn't know any better. Some | :37:54. | :37:58. | |
all gangster or gangster wannabe, drug addict, deportee. But that is | :37:59. | :38:06. | |
how they, they looked down on me. If the US president keeps his promises, | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
the challenges here in Tijuana may not only be a bigger or high | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
offence. A wall of prejudice is another obstacle that many could | :38:16. | :38:16. | |
face. Difficult things to discuss on the | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
border. If I asked you what music, | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
tech, the Vatican and You might be hard pressed to come | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
up with a response - the answer though is that they're | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
all on the agenda at the South-by-Southwest festival | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
in the Texan capital Austin. And given the nature of | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
the new presidency here in the US - politics is most definitely under | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
the spotlight. Our North America reporter | :38:45. | :38:45. | |
Anthony Zurcher is there. Before we talk to you, I want to | :38:46. | :38:55. | |
talk about a famous visitor you have had down there, Joe Biden. He's | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
looking remarkably calm and relaxed but also taking a quick potshot at | :39:00. | :39:01. | |
President Trump. Just take a listen. It is my hope that this new | :39:02. | :39:09. | |
administration, once it gets organised and I'm not being | :39:10. | :39:17. | |
facetious, will be able to focus on and be as committed and enthusiastic | :39:18. | :39:24. | |
as we were in the goal of curing cancer as we know it. Is that Joe | :39:25. | :39:34. | |
Biden? Knowing Joe Biden he is being facetious. Is that the mood down | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
there? Well I think Joe Biden said that he didn't want to get into | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
politics and keep Robbie shouldn't be criticising the Trump | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
administration although he did take another swipe at them on climate | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
change policy. I think what you are seeing time and time again are | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
people trying to grapple with the changing politics here, in the US. | :39:56. | :40:01. | |
Last year, Barack Obama came to this conference and talked about how | :40:02. | :40:04. | |
government could be a force for good. That is a decidedly different | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
type of line of conversation coming from Washington about how to pare | :40:11. | :40:13. | |
back and dismantle the administrative state. If you look at | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
some of the panel discussions, it is about how Democratic mayors can hold | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
the line against the immigration policy and transgender policy. There | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
is talk about how the media can deal with fake news and however one can | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
pull together, and address the changing political environment. | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
There is definitely a shadow cast on this conference by the new wind is | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
blowing out of Washington. Are they also talking about some of the | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
social policies of this government, the travel ban, a lot of people who | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
travel to the United States and work in the tech industry have taken a | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
stance against it? Yes they have, I was discussing this very topic, with | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
a corporate CEO, and he said that the immigration issue was one of the | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
biggest concerns for them because they rely on the international | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
talent pool, the people that they can bring in, on the special visas | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
who have specific expertise and is larger concern was there was a lot | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
of uncertainty and businesses don't deal with uncertainty very well. In | :41:19. | :41:25. | |
a very sunny Austin, Texas, we should be there and not here in | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
Washington, because it is very chilly outside. So chilly in fact | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
that one house in upstate New York, looks like this. It sits on the | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
sure, of Lake Ontario, where they are bearing the brunt of the bitter | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
cold right now. Hall's bricks and windows. All covered in ice. I am | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
not sure if a front door is left, taken by a local photographer, | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
saying that many people doubted the authenticity, it is the era of fake | :41:56. | :42:01. | |
news. It is very cold, we are about to get slammed by a snowstorm. It is | :42:02. | :42:08. | |
a Joe Biden free zone. You are getting ready, boots and coat at the | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
