The headlines: Germany's Chancellor Merkel and President Trump hold | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
He denies he's an isolationist and defends his tough | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Immigration is a privilege, not a right. The safety of our citizens | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
must always come first. A cautious Angela Merkel stressed | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
the need for compromise We held a conversation while we are | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
trying to address also those areas where we disagree and try to bring | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
people together and show what is our vantage point and the Bennigan -- | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
the American vantage point and try and find compromise. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Hungary's tough stance against migration. | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
The government's building container camps for asylum-seekers | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
How not getting enough has a damaging impact | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
It's a meeting that could have huge implications for the future | :01:03. | :01:22. | |
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been meeting Donald Trump | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
The summit has been highly anticipated given that the two | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
leaders have publicly differed on several key issues. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Mr Trump has called Mrs Merkel's migration policy "catastrophic" | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
In the last few minutes, the two leaders appeared | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
It was a fairly businesslike and quite measured press conference, | :01:44. | :01:59. | |
given how these two leaders are so different in personality and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
worldview and policy position. They stated those positions but they also | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
reached out and emphasised areas of commonality where they had them but | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
when there were not those areas they made sure the differences were known | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
as well. A bit like setting up the agenda before they really went into | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
to them in socks. Also setting up the agenda as they try to reset the | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
new relationship. -- went into the clocks. Here is a bit of what Tom | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
had to say. We recognise immigration security is national security. We | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
must protect our citizens from those who seek to spread extremism, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
terrorism and violence inside our borders. Immigration is a privilege, | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
not a right. The safety of our citizens must always come first. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Without question. Over lunch the Chancellor and I will talk about our | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
economic partnership, we must work together towards a fair and | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
reciprocal trade policies. That benefit both of our people's. | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
Millions of hard-working US citizens have been left behind by | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
International commerce and together we can shape the future were all of | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
our citizens have a path to financial security. The United | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
States will respect historic institutions and we will also | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
recognise the right of free people to manage their own destiny. The | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
close friendship between America and Germany is built on our shared | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
values. We cherish individual rights, we uphold the rule of law | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
and we seek peace among nations. Our alliance is a symbol of strength and | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
cooperation to the world. It is the foundation of a very, very hopeful | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
future. Thank you. This is of course quite an | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
adjustment for an good -- Angela Merkel because she had a good | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
working relationship with President Obama and Donald Trump is a very | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
different character and one who has been quite critical of her. He | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
criticised for quite a lot during his campaign and said she bought the | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Germany to ruin because of her open-door immigration policy which | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
had been a catastrophe. She did research quite what the poor comment | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
and read his speeches and interviews and sweets and try to come up they | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
could work together. -- she did research a lot before coming. As it | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
is important for both countries. She said it is important to talk with | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
each other than about each other. Here is what she had to say. I am | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
here as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and represent | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
German interests and speak with the president of the United States who | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
stands up for, as is right, American interests and it is our respective | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
tasks and I must say I was very gratifying to know the warm and | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
gracious hospitality with which I was received here and we held a | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
conversation where we try to address those areas where we disagree and | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
also bring people together and show what is our vantage point and what | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
is the American vantage point and try to find a compromise that is | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
good for both sides because we need to be fair with each other. Everyone | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
expects from them without something good to come out of it from their | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
people. People have different abilities, different | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
characteristics, different origins, and have found their way into | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
politics along different pathways and while that is diversity, which | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
is good, sometimes it is difficult to find compromise, but that is what | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
we have been elected for. If everything went without problem you | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
do not need politicians to do this job. The body language seemed a bit | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
stiff and wary, perhaps, but towards the end Mr Trump brought in a new | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
element and talk about another way you may have something in common | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
watch is President Obama ordering a wiretap of their phones. There is | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
evidence Mr Obama did that for Angela Merkel but there is no | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
evidence so far he did that for Mr Trump although the president | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
continues to see it happen. It bought out quite a laugh in the room | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
and that perhaps created the environment for talks that might | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
happen with a bit more ease once they got off the podium. That rather | :06:42. | :06:53. | |
delayed press conference, let's see whether they were getting on very | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
well or not very well. She mentioned the body language there. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
With me is Judi James, an expert in body language. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Angela Merkel had that great relationship with President Obama, | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
what do you make of this initial contact these two have had together? | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
It was extraordinary body language. Angela Merkel, spelt most of her | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
political -- spent most of her career path that and hub like a mill | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
politicians so this would be what can a part for her but what was | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
interesting was the greeting rituals. He performed what is called | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
an act of inconvenience and right up to the car. It was very friendly. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
When we do that that is a very respected guest suite came right up | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
to the car and at a very warm handshake and tilted his head and | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
actually Lord himself which in a animal terms is submissive | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
behaviour. -- Lord himself down. So far so good at that stage. Then we | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
see them inside the oval office and the body language changes. I need to | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
know what happened between the greeting. It almost looked like | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
suddenly, when you go to parents of the School and you have the sulky | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
teenager and will not play ball and she is being very appeasing, she is | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
leaning on her chair, looking at them and trying to get some rapport | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
going but he turned his chair away, he has got the sulky what on jaw and | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
then he is using a downward steeple. -- sulky bottom jaw. He does a | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
metronomic gesture and if you want to say, let's finish this because I | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
am fed up being here will stop then you the moment you try to get him | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
shake hands and he just did not want to know. At a slightly different to | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
what we sought when he met the British Prime Minister Theresa May. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
That was in January this year but that was completely different | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
because we sought that handholds. A lot was discussed about that. What | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
was your interpretation? They were quite frosty. This stood quite a way | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
away and she was very regal and somebody said, did you know the help | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
hands on the back of the White House. It was a very brief. They | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
were not walking along like lovestruck people, he just put his | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
hand out and touched it slightly. I would say, I have not seen him do it | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
with any of the male world leaders yet. Back to today, they are both | :09:37. | :09:49. | |
podium facing away but they are looking at each other so that seems | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
to be some kind of relationship, they are at least listening to each | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
other. Given that he would look at her like, do you want to answer this | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
one? When you see that you're seeing more of a team forming. His problem | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
is he has this phobia about the press so when he starts to get | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
tricky questions and you can see the anger spilling out into his body | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
language and by then it is almost as if she is not there and he becomes | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
obsessed with his aggression against the press asking difficult | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
questions. Thank you for bringing those nuances | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
that, quite frankly, most of us would have missed. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
One of the issues discussed was wiretapping. | :10:31. | :10:43. | |
Lots to discuss over this potential wiretapping. President Trump's | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
spokesman says he will not repeat suggestions British security | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
services spied on Donald Trump before he took office. These are | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
linked to Mr Trump's claims and has caused real anger in the UK | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
intelligence services. Britain's GCHQ surveillance agency - | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
secretly listening in, said the White House, | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
on President-Elect Donald Not true, says GCHQ, | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
in a rare public rebuttal. It all began with a tweet, | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
with Donald Trump alleging on social media Barack Obama had ordered | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
the tapping of his phone calls Then came the claim, from Fox News, | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
that GCHQ may have been behind it. Sources have told Fox News | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
that President Obama could very easily have, | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
and probably did, use a foreign intelligence service to gather this | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
information for him. The probable culprit | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
here is called GCHQ. The next thing, that unsubstantiated | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
claim was being quoted That triggered alarm | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
bells in Whitehall. I'm told it was serious enough | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
to be considered a threat It prompted this | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
unprecedented denial by GCHQ. Recent allegations, it said, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
being asked to conduct wiretapping against the then | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
President-Elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
and should be ignored. This is just not | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
something GCHQ does. The legislation under which it | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
operates doesn't allow it to happen. The governance and the oversight | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
of the organisation just does not I think, in this case, | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
it is absolutely clear this If Donald Trump was embarrassed, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
he wasn't showing it today - seen here meeting the German | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
Chancellor, Angela Merkel. His administration has promised not | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
to repeat these allegations, So, what is the damage | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
to relations with Washington? MI6, MI5 and GCHQ, Britain's three | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
spy agencies, all have incredibly close working relationships | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
with their US counterparts. Whitehall officials insisted | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
today that partnership remains as strong as ever, | :13:06. | :13:06. | |
despite the controversy Still, it is a bad day | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
for Western intelligence, when Britain has to publicly | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
contradict a statement coming out of the highest office | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
of its closest partner, Frank Gardner, BBC News, outside MI6 | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
headquarters in central London. Rex Tillerson, the American | :13:22. | :13:33. | |
Secretary of State, He is ruling nothing out | :13:34. | :13:34. | |
in dealing with the country - Speaking after talks | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
with South Korean leaders, Mr Tillerson, said a policy | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
of strategic patience Mr Tillerson came here | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
with a particular message That is the ironclad alliance, | :13:45. | :13:56. | |
as he calls it, between the US and South Korea will remain, | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
whoever wins power in elections here We wait to see what exactly | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the new policy will be. The policy of strategic | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
patience has ended. We are exploring a new | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
range of diplomatic, North Korea must | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
understand the only path to a secure, economic and prosperous | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
future is to abandon its development of nuclear weapons, ballistic | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
missiles and other We call on other regional | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
powers and all nations to join us in demanding the North | :14:39. | :14:48. | |
Korean Government choose a better path and a different | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
future for its people. Beyond the actual words, the tone | :14:52. | :14:52. | |
of the press conference was the moment North Korea has the ability | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
to hit the continental United States with nuclear weapons | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
is a moment of real crisis. And military options really | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
will be on the table then. Now a look at some of | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
the days other news. The deaths of dozens of Somali | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
refugees, whose boat was attacked off Yemen's Red Sea coast, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
has appalled the UN refugee agency. More than forty bodies have been | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
recovered and survivors have been It's still not clear | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
who was behind the attack. Syria has confirmed that it tried | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
to shoot down Israeli warplanes that Israel's military says | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
all the planes returned safely and one of the anti-aircraft | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
missiles was intercepted. It's rare for Israel to admit | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
to air strikes in Syria. Egyptian archaeologists say that | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
a vast statue uncovered in a suburb of Cairo last week is not | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
of Pharaoh Ramses II, It's now believed to depict a much | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
later king, Psamtek I. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor | :15:56. | :16:09. | |
Orban has announced that a second line of fence along his | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
country's border with Serbia Mr Orban said it would be able | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
to prevent any new wave Hungary is also pushing ahead | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
with the construction of two container camps for | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
asylum-seekers on the border. When Hungary says it is taking tough | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
action to stop migration, It is holding these migrants | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
at a detention centre We are allowed to speak | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
to them from the street. We are not terrorists, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
we are not criminals. But Hungary sees no | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
reason to back down. This month, the Prime Minister | :16:53. | :17:06. | |
Viktor Orban took charge of a new A new law now gives | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
the government even more power Hungary plans to hold them | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
all in these containers it is setting up next | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
to the border with Serbia. "These are civilised places to live | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
in", the contractor says. "European workers certainly | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
find them acceptable". Hungary says that the migrants to be | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
held in these containers would be free to leave at any time, | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
so long as they head in just They would be free to walk | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
just a few metres down here and they would cross back | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
into Serbia, away from the EU, These young migrants are stuck | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
on the Serbian side. The rest of the European Union | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
may publicly criticise the actions of Hungary but, | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
quietly, Europe may put up with anything that | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
keeps migrants back. James Reynolds, BBC News, | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
on the Hungary/Serbia border. The Nobel Prize winning poet | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
and playwright Sir Derek Walcott has died at his home in St Lucia | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
at the age of 87. Sir Derek first gained international | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
attention in the 1960s, with poems that explored the history | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
and culture of the Caribbean. He was considered one of the key | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
voices of West Indian literature and was vocal about his love | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
for the culture and Researchers in Oxford have developed | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
a machine for people who are hard of hearing, | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
that can lip-read more And they've developed | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
the technology by watching news presenters here at the BBC, | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
as our Technology Correspondent At the Action for Hearing Loss | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
charity, Edward is trying to have a conversation | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
with a colleague. With lots of noise coming | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
into the office from the street, his lip-reading skills | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
come in useful. It can be very hard as well | :19:23. | :19:23. | |
because sometimes some words can sound the same or could be lip-read | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
the same, and so it's all about getting into context | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
and seeing what people actually talk But in Oxford, research is under | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
way to teach computers It's involved training an artificial | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
intelligence system using thousands So the box around the lips is the | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
region that the AI system is seeing. Joon Son Chung, whose project this | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
is, shares Edward's view So lip-reading is a very difficult | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
problem because there are visual For example pat, bat and mat | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
are visually identical. By endlessly watching clips | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
of Breakfast, Newsnight and other BBC News programmes, | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
the computer teaches What the system does is learn things | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
that occur together. So in this case they're the mouth | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
shapes and the characters, and what the likely upcoming | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
characters are, given Let's try it with some words it | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
already understands. The Prime Minister is at | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
a European Union summit. Now, the system has heard those | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
words in that context before But to get better, it will have | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
to chew through a lot more data. There's a long way to go | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
but the hearing loss charity This would help people | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
with when they're watching subtitles on television, | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
this will help people when they're out and about in very noisy | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
environments and it's by no means technology that will replace | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
a professional lip-reader. It's something that would very much | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
support professional lip-readers to improve the accuracy of the work | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
that they do. Right now the technology only works | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
on full sentences in recorded clips. The next stage is to | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
make it work live. But first the computer | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
is going to be watching A security sniffer dog has been shot | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
dead at New Zealand's biggest airport after running away | :21:17. | :21:30. | |

the dog couldn't have been We do not believe it was the last | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
resort because I do not see the tranquiliser gun | :21:43. | :22:34. | |
being mentioned at all. They were chasing him | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
for many hours. It's World Sleep day today - | :22:36. | :22:49. | |
and we all know how important it is to get enough sleep - | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
but what about the bottom line here? According to the Rand corporation - | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
lack of sleep is costing the world economy billions of dollars | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
in lost productivity. Our reporter Theo Leggett managed | :23:00. | :23:00. | |
to stay up just long enough Now, we all know that we need | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
to sleep and some of us probably But what happens if | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
you do not get enough? What could it mean for your ability | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
to do your job, for example? To find out more, I have come | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
here to the Clinical Research Centre at the University of Surrey | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
where they study sleep, and in particular, | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
what happens to your brain So I'm just going to go over a few | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
things that we will do This doctor is a research | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
fellow at the University. Her team studies what happens | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
to the sleeping brain and has analysed how insufficient sleep can | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
have deeply damaging effects on both Sleep deprivation can lead | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
to a mental state which is very In part because you are not aware | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
of your inability to focus And your judgment and your | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
speed is impaired. We're going to give you some | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
instructions from the control room. Analysts from the Rand Corporation | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
say lost sleep can cut a country's economic | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
output by up to 3%. In the USA it costs up | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
to $411 billion a year. In Japan it is 138 billion | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
and in the UK $50 billion, People who do not sleep enough | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
are dying prematurely compared to people who sleep the healthy | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
amount of hours. They are more likely to die | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
of any given cause such as cardiovascular disease, | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
cancer and also they are more likely At the other end, we know people | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
who sleep enough are more likely to go to work and are more | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
productive at work compared to Sacrificing sleep to work long hours | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
may impress your boss but it might be dangerous and could be | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
costing your company a great deal. So perhaps it would be better | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
all round if we could sometimes sit I totally agree. Our main story, | :25:06. | :25:22. | |
that developing story, in his first meeting with Angela Merkel, | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
President Trump has stressed he is not an isolationist, but a free | :25:28. | :25:32. | |

Angela Merkel more Nato members must meet their commitments on spending | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
and Mrs Merkel also stressed the importance of Nato and said Berlin | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
was willing to increase the amount it spends on military. That is all | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
for now. If you want to get in touch with me or the team you can do so on | :25:56. | :25:59. |
