This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The headlines: Tony Blair puts himself on a collision course | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
with the British government as he asks Britons to rise | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The former Prime Minister kicks-off a campaign to find a way out | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
of what he called the government's plans to "rush over | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
The people voted without knowledge of the terms of the exit. As these | :00:24. | :00:39. | |
terms become clear, it is the right to change their mind. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
President Trump's search for a National Security Adviser goes | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
on after his second choice for the top post says, | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Also, the latest twist in the killing on the half-brother of North | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
Korea's leader. After more than 20 years at Arsenal, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
what next for Arsene Wenger as he hints he could be managing | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
another team next year. The former British Prime Minister | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
Tony Blair has launched a campaign to persuade people in the UK | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
to change their minds He said the current government | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
was set on leaving the EU "at any cost", which would damage | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
the economy and weaken But the speech has been ridiculed | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
by Leave supporters, with the Foreign Secretary, | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Boris Johnson, accusing Mr Blair of insulting | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
the public's intelligence. Here's our political | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
correspondent, Carole Walker. A rallying cry from | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
the former Prime Minister. Time, he said, to rise up and force | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
a rethink on the decision The people voted without knowledge | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
of the terms of Brexit. As these terms become | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
clear, it is their right Our mission is to | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
persuade them to do so. He said he would expose the risks | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
of the current plans for Brexit, damage to the economy and jobs, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
put the break-up of the UK He said controlling immigration had | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
become the government's main consideration as it took the country | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
towards not just hard Brexit, I would actually question | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
whether the referendum really provides a mandate for Brexit | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
at any cost. We will withdraw from the single | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
market, which is around half We will also now leave the customs | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
union, covering trade This impacts everything from airline | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
travel to financial services The Prime Minister has been | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
meeting her French counterpart this afternoon as she prepares to begin | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
the formal Brexit She said she will seek | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
the greatest possible access to the European single market | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
through a new free trade agreement. Will you take the advice | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
of Tony Blair? Ministers are scathing | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
about Mr Blair's intervention. We heard all these | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
arguments last year. It is insulting the intelligence | :03:15. | :03:15. | |
of the electorate to Tony Blair believes the government's | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
approach to Brexit is being driven by ideologues passionate | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
about the move to take Britain out of the European Union | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
and that the Labour Party is failing But some will doubt | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
whether he is the man to lead a popular movement to overturn | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
the Brexit vote. Tony Blair did not say he wants | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
a second referendum. Do you really think you are the one | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
with the popular appeal to get a different answer if you did get | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
a second go? This is a free country, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
so I have a right to speak and you have the freedom | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
to listen or not. You don't want to listen to me, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
you don't want to listen to me. I know there will be | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
a volley of abuse that will come my way for speaking, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
but I am speaking because I believe And he still has some supporters | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
in the party he used to lead. Whether you love him or loathe him, | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
I think he is somebody He has huge experience | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
of politics at the top level. But Theresa May is unlikely to be | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
swayed by warnings from one of her predecessors as she embarks | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
on the complex and difficult negotiations to take | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Britain out of the EU. A day after the US President Donald | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
Trump told a news conference that his administration was running | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
like a "fine-tuned machine", senior Republican Senator John McCain has | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
said it is in disarray. His comments came after the former | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
naval admiral chosen by President Trump to be his | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
National Security Advisor While the search for a new security | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
adviser goes on, the president returned today to one | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
of his favourite themes - talking about jobs and | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
the American economy. I would do everything I can to put | :05:11. | :05:33. | |
our great people back to work. This is our mantra, by American and | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
higher American. We want products made in America, made by American | :05:43. | :05:43. | |
hands. Let's focus on the lingering | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
questions about his team, including Wyatt is so to find and national | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
security adviser. But that question to the deputy assistant secretary of | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
defence, former, of Middle Eastern policy. There has been turmoil at | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the highest ranks of the White House. There are several different | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
individuals or fractions who are vying for power with this president. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
The dismissal of Mike Flynn, who might have been the best choice to | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
begin with, has thrown the National Security decision-making process | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
into turmoil. The fact that Bob Harward, losing to be the first | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
choice of the president to replace Mike Flynn has now turned the | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
position down, citing family and financial reasons, but it seems that | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
the chaos of the White House seems to have played a role than that. It | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
has left the United States and many of our allies and confused as to | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
hide the president makes decisions, how this White House makes | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
decisions. We might have Cabinet secretaries and place, in terms of | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
the Secretary of State, secretary of defence, but they don't have a lot | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
of people underneath them. This is a dangerous time for the US National | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Security Council at eight and it is incumbent the White House to set the | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
ship of State straight sooner rather than later. I suppose, if people are | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
not following the minutiae of politics, they don't live in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Washington, DC, the Mitre students that this is all just political | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
matter nations and ultimately somebody will be advising him on | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
security matters -- matters, so what does it really matter? From the very | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
beginning, this administration was not necessarily prepared to govern. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
The president himself like the idea of running for president, enjoyed | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
it, but was not prepared to govern. At this point in 2009 when the Obama | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
administration came in, you already had undersecretaries of state, not | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
just nominated but confirm, and putting in teens in the departments | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
of defence and state ready to implement the President's policy. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
This administration was not prepared for the challenges of filling the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
key roles in the national security architecture, not just in the | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
National Security Council, but in the Department of State and the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
Department of defence. As a result, there has been more chaos than | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
usual. This is something that is really quite unique. Mike Flynn | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
lasted just over 20 days as the National Security adviser. The | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
previous document to last the least amount of time lasted a year. This | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
is unprecedented in terms of the turmoil we are seeing in the highest | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
levels of the national security community right now. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
And Mr Trump has got through another key appointment. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
The US Senate has confirmed his choice to head | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
He's Scott Pruitt, the Oklahoma Attorney General. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
He was chosen in spite of concerns by Democrats and green groups | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
about his views on climate change and his ties to the coal | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Mr Pruitt has sued the Environmental Protection Agency more than a dozen | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
One woman arrested in Malaysia over the killing of the half brother | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
of North Korea's leader has said she was duped into thinking she was | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
part of a comedy show prank - that's according to Indonesia's | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
national police chief, who's been briefed by Malaysian authorities. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Kim Jong Nam died after being attacked at Kaula Lumpur | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Meanwhile, North Korea has made a plea to Malaysia to release | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
We strongly urge and the manse the Malaysians side not to be entangled | :09:41. | :09:59. | |
with a political plot by the hostile forces towards the DPRK, who want to | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
damage the image of her country. And to release the body immediately | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
without any condition. The American food giant Kraft Heinz | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
says it will continue to press for a takeover deal | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
with the Anglo-Dutch firm Unilever, despite its initial | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
bid being rejected. The offer, which would be one | :10:23. | :10:23. | |
of the biggest ever corporate mergers, amounted to ?115 billion, | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
which Unilever said "fundamentally Pakistan's security forces | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
have carried out raids across the country, killing | :10:29. | :10:40. | |
and arresting dozens It follows the suicide attack | :10:41. | :10:41. | |
at a famous Sufi shrine in the south The attack has been claimed | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
by the so-called Islamic State. The prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
says his nation is fighting a war Spain's Princess Cristina has been | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
cleared of tax fraud related charges following an investigation | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
into her husband's However her husband | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
Inaki Urdangarin, was sentenced to over six years for fraud | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
and tax evasion. More than 300 people have broken | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
through a fence separating the Spanish territory | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
of Ceuta from Morocco. Most of the group are believed to be | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, Video footage shows them using clubs | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
and shears to create gaps The German Defence Minister, | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Ursula von der Leyen, has warned the United States | :11:26. | :11:38. | |
against damaging European cohesion. Speaking at a security | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
conference in Munich, he said the US tone on Europe | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
and NATO had a direct impact The new US Defence Secretary, | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
James Mattis, has given a new assurance that American | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
security is permanently tied But he stressed the need for members | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
to contribute their fair share. President Trump came into office and | :11:55. | :12:12. | |
has thrown his full support to Nato. He, too, spices need to's the | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
adapted today's strategic situation for it to stay credible, capable and | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
relevant. As the Minister noted last week, it is at the demand that all | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
who benefit fund the best alliance in the world carry the proportionate | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
share of the necessary costs to defend our freedoms and we are | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
committed to passing those freedoms in tact the next generation. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Least to set has been in Munich speaking to those involved. | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
Many of the world's top diplomat and secretaries have been here in | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Munich. There is real time diplomacy here, real negotiations going on | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
behind the scenes, and even on the public platforms to tackle the great | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
crisis of the world. There is a buzz this year, largely because of the | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
uncertainty and anxiety about the new policies emerging from President | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Trump's new team in Washington. Most of all there is concern about the | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
transatlantic relationship. Let's hear from Britain's Defence | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Secretary, Michael Fallon. General Mathis said he was committed to | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Nato, but there have been comments from many attending that the weren't | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
convinced by his speech. He repeated the commitment that Donald Trump | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
gave to Theresa May when she went to Washington, that America remains | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
100% committed to Nato. We are no doubt that America has a continuing | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
commitment to Nato. Even the chairman of the Munich community | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
Forum said he wanted to hear from the United States that they would | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
not try to break up the European Union and destroyed the pillars that | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
have been in place since the Second World War. That is quite | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
extraordinary. Nobody is suggesting that America wants to break up | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
Europe. This is the Munich Security form! You get uncertainty over a new | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
administration, particularly when it changes from Democrat Republican or | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
vice versa. On the commitment to Nato, we are in no doubt that | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
America is behind the Alliance. They want Europe to do more to contribute | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
more. We agree that two and a half years ago. We all agreed we would | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
spend 2% and in Britain we do. America wants the other European | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
countries to step up as well. If you saw British prime ministers given | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
more than an hour press conference the President Trump came gave | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
yesterday, would you be worried about the leadership in your | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
country? We all handle these things in different ways. This is the | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
beginning of the new administration for a very new president. What is | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
important is to judge this administration and what it actually | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
does, not what was said during the campaign. Over here, temp three has | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
reassured all the allies that the two remains behind the Alliance. If | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
President Trump decides he wants a more aggressive, kinetic action for | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Islamic State, will Britain back him in that special relationship? We are | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
making probably the second biggest contribution... Would you change | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Britain's engagement of President Trump changes his? We will keep | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
making the contribution we are making. The RAF flying six nights a | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
week in this campaign and we've been doing it for two and a half years. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Many of the times that Daesh occupied have been liberated. In the | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
end, the fighting has to be done by local troops that have the support | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
of the local population. Thank you. We will watch in the months to come | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
what happens on the ground. Much more to come, both at the public | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Ponton also behind-the-scenes. Stay with us on BBC | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
World News, still to come: We hear how a British soap actor is | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
trying to make it in Bollywood. Tony Blair urges Britons to | :16:30. | :17:50. | |
reconsider Brexit, saying people voted without knowing the true terms | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
of the deal. President Trump's search for a | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
national-security adviser goes on after his second choice for the top | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
post turns it down. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has | :18:00. | :18:12. | |
been at the club for more than 20 years but has suggested he'll decide | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
whether to stay any longer He's under increased pressure | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
after the 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
League. And our football reporter | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
John Bennett was listening as Wenger spoke to reporters ahead of their FA | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
Cup game against Sutton on Monday. Composed and determined, it is no | :18:25. | :18:37. | |
supplies, really. He has shown his determination in 20 years at | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Arsenal. Asim Wenger looks like a disc -- has recovered from that | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
awful night in Munich. He made it clear that far from focusing on his | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
future, he is focusing on is next game. What really stood out is the | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
comment about still being a manager next season, whether with Arsenal or | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
elsewhere. Let's see what happened at one of the most anticipated press | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
conferences of the season. Do you feel offended by some of the things | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
that you read? No. Why? Because I am used to hate. I've been here for 20 | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
years. I think in life it is important to do what you think is | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
right and all the rest his judgment, and I am in a public job and I had | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
to accept that. I think I have to behave with my values and do things | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
the way I see my job and accept that everybody can have an opinion on it. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Did you say to anyone this week that you would decide your future in | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
March or April? Yes. March or April? I don't know. If I said March or | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
April, it is because I do not know. No matter what happens I will manage | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
next season, whether it is here or somewhere else, that is for sure. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Asim Wenger moving forward, not looking back. People are starting to | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
think what Arsenal will be like after he leaves. But to Arsenal fans | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
have to be careful what they wish for? What is important is that the | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
club makes the right decisions for the future and I did not work year | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
for 20 years not to care about this club, because I had many | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
opportunities to go somewhere else in that period and I care about this | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
club and they care about its future and I think it is very important | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
that the club is always in safe hands, be it me or someone else, I'm | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
sure it will be. Next up is Sutton United, from the fifth tier of | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
English football. They have an Astroturf pitch, a crowd of 5,000. | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
Anything less than a big win and the pressure will increase even further. | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
Former New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter has apologised | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
after he failed a drink-driving test in Paris on Wednesday. | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
The three-times World Player of the Year who plays | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
in France's top league was stopped in his car in the centre | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
of the capital. Writing on Facebook he's said, | :21:22. | :21:41. | |
Budapest could decide as soon as next week | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
whether to withdraw its bid to hold the 2024 Olympics. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
The Hungarian captial's mayor has said he's considering dropping | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
their attempts to host the games while protesters say they have | :21:50. | :21:52. | |

A British soap star is the latest in a number of Brits | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
Alex Avery, who's been in Eastenders, is starring | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
in Rangoon, a period drama about the Burmese conflict. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
The movie also stars top names from the Indian film | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
industry like Kangana, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
Bollywood movie Rankine has A* cast, and plenty of music. It is a period | :22:32. | :22:54. | |
drama set in the aftermath of World War II. For British actor Alex | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Avery, it is a break-in to the Indian film industry. He is playing | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
an English army officer. The usual rules for English actors is one of | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
being a major in the British Army. Do you feel that you your typecast? | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
I think western actors probably do get typecast, especially British, | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
because the imperialistic nature between India and Britain, a lot of | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
it is Army centred. Going to India to look for jobs in the movies is | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
not the most obvious career choice for an actor is more used to British | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
soaps. Most of the rules are in Hindi and go to established Indian | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
stars, but Alex is hoping that things will change. If you go back | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
to older films, not Bollywood comes necessarily, but Gandhi, passage to | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
India, you realise there are rules that British people could play in | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
terms of education, legal, journalists, but they are all | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
slightly periods. In the last decade there have been a number of | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Hollywood stars who have appeared in Indian films, likes best solution | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
and Ben Kingsley. Only ten years ago it used to be if you wanted to make | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
a film in India he needed to make her masala movie or an arthouse | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
movie. Five people are making movies that are neither. And they have the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
opportunities to make those movies. India is a rich place to make movies | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
that could work for a global audience, so I think we will see | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
more actors from different backgrounds working in India on | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Indian movies. Mastering the language is the next step. | :24:44. | :24:52. | |

The pilot asked how to get to a city in the the north-west | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
of the country, much to the amusement of | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
