The Mexican president cancels a trip to Washington

after an ultimatum from Donald Trump.

The US President sent a blunt message saying, pay for the wall

So, after a diplomatic spat that's played out on Twitter, the meeting

Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect,

such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a different route.

Later, President Trump is due to meet his first foreign leader,

Many millions of Americans rely on Obamacare for health coverage -

what happens to them when it's scrapped?

I have to have health care in order to survive. If I don't have that

health care, if he gets rid of it, I'm dead in the water.

The President has signed 12 Executive Orders so far -

So how do voters who put Donald Trump in the White House feel

And the Presidential candidate who is shaking up French politics -

It's a dispute with the neighbours that's spilling out of control -

one side wants a dividing wall, the other doesn't.

One side wants the other to pay for it, and the other

The result - Mexico's President is now cancelling a visit

to Washington, after an ultimatum from Donald Trump.

The fight between the US and Mexico over that wall

took an extraordinary twist on Twitter today.

Lets see what Donald Trump wrote. If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the

badly needed wall, it would be better to cancel the upcoming

meeting. And then this riposte from the Mexican president. This morning

we informed the White House that I will not be attending the working

meeting planned for Tuesday with POTUS.

Well just a short time ago, speaking at a Republicans'

retreat in Philadelphia, the so-called city of brotherly

love, President Trump wasn't sending much of it south.

The president of Mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned

meeting scheduled for next week. Unless Mexico is going to treat the

United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless,

and I want to go a different route. We have no choice.

For more, let's speak to one of Mr Trump's supporters,

the former Republican Congressman, Bob Walker.

Thank you for joining us. There are fights that some politicians need to

have, and then there are unnecessary ones. Is this one unnecessary? I

think it is the Donald Trump. He enunciated during the campaign that

he was going to build the wall, and he said Mexico was going to pay for

it. The question was, how are they going to pay for it, and that is a

matter for negotiation. He said that the negotiation stance is that this

is not going to go away, Mexico will have to respond in some meaningful

way to the fact that the wall will get built. And you are a veteran of

the transmission period when a new administration is taking place. We

have had a disagreement over torture, what to replace Obamacare

with, differences over what sort of border tax should be imposed. How

would you characterise the way it is going? I think so far they have done

remarkably well. Let's look at what he is doing in these first few days.

He is taking all of the things that he talked about on the campaign

trail, and he is moving quickly to either put legislation in place that

will play out over the next few months, or he is actually issuing

executive orders that are taking effect immediately, so I think he is

doing a pretty good job, and it fascinates me that in many cases

some of the media that are portraying these first few days have

been paying attention to things that are fairly minor compared with the

major things that he is really doing. And I'm not sure whether or

not his strategy isn't to divert attention away from some of the

really big things that he is a cub wishing. Congressman, if I could

take you back to that Twitter message from Donald Trump today,

some of the reaction on social media is that this is no diplomacy by

Twitter. Is it important that the president does this in a more

traditional way? I don't think it is, we are in the 21st-century and

the fact is that we are in an electronic age in which messages are

communicated in business through Twitter. This is not anything that

is unusual. I do think that it is going to have to change in that some

of the complexities of international diplomacy are going to have to enter

into some of the discussions, and you can't do that in 140 characters

or less, so as we proceed forward, I think that Twitter will become a way

of communicating to the American people what his interests are, but

it will not be the substance of the diplomacy. But you will know,

congressman, that messages can be misconstrued on Twitter, and won't

there be some people in Congress thinking it could be President Pena

Nieto of Mexico today, it could be Angela Merkel tomorrow. There will

be people that will have those kinds of concerns, but again, I think that

everybody has do understand that what he's doing is setting the

parameters in which he thinks the negotiations will take place, and

Twitter messages sometimes do that. We saw it on the campaign trail, his

opponents were frustrated by the fact that his tweets dominated the

news media for an entire day, and their messages couldn't get out. My

guess is that he intends to continue that pattern as long as it works for

him. OK, congressman Bob Walker, grateful to you, thank you very much

indeed for being with us. The British Prime Minister will be

the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump since he became

President. She will be at the

White House tomorrow. Tonight she is in Philadelphia,

where she will be telling Republicans that the US

and an outward-looking UK In Philadelphia at the Republicans'

retreat, Donald Trump today suggested that he would lead

on negotiations over trade I'm meeting with the Prime Minister

tomorrow, as you know, of Great Britain. So I'm meeting with her

tomorrow, I don't have my, as secretary and they want to

trade. So I'll have to handle it trade. So I'll have to handle it

myself. LAUGHTER

Which is OK. Well, the BBC's Laura Trevelyan is in Washington for us.

Going back over Prime Minister is and presidents we have known

throughout the ages, can you think of two more different in terms of

character, personality and all the rest of it than Theresa May and

President Trump? It is a little bit difficult to imagine, but then I

think perhaps Margaret Thatcher and one of Reagan were not an obvious

fit, and Theresa May address this on the plane on the way over in a jokey

way, saying that sometimes opposites attract. But yes, she is

businesslike, low-key, not given to bombast. Donald Trump is the

complete opposite. It would be hard to imagine Theresa May starring in

reality and that is how Donald Trump came to national prominence, and he

used it to run for the presidency. So they are direct opposites, and it

will be fascinated to find out what happens. Wouldn't it be nice to be a

fly on the wall when they how Berdix Jeju gifts, and by the way, the

Prime Minister is going to give the president of Scottish Cup, a symbol

of friendships. Lets go from style to substance. What will be the main

issues that they want to get to grips with? The big issue is that

Britain is about to start the process of leaving the European

Union, and the Prime Minister would like a trade deal with the US. This

also suits Donald Trump, because he wants to show that the big

multilateral trade deals that he doesn't like like Nafta and the

Pacific rim one can be replaced by strong bilateral agreements with

allies. The problem of course with that is that Britain has to leave

the European Union before it can start officially negotiating a trade

deal with the US, so Theresa May has to walk a bit of a fine line, not

really annoying those in the EU by seeing too eager to rush into

negotiation with the US straightaway. And also it is an

opportunity for her to underline Britain's's support for Nato. Trump

Tower said Nato is obsolete, he has questioned the value of it, so it is

an opportunity for her to show that she can have a relationship with the

US wants Britain leaves the EU, but also to stick up for Britain's

principles. Thank you very much, Laura.

Britain and the United States love to talk about their so-called

We've had a dip into the archives to look at some of the most

And historic picture of two great leaders determined to extinguish the

menace of Hitler. He reminded them that his mother was American. If my

father had been American, and my mother British, instead of the other

way around, I might have got here on my own!

In Britain, you will find a ready response, an ally, valiant, staunch

and true. That's exactly right. Thank you. The

thing I want to leave people with the impression of is that ours will

be a strong and good personal relationship. And an alliance that

will stand the test of time. As Laura says the main topic

tomorrow will be the trade deal It can't be signed of course until

the UK officially leaves the EU. One man who will likely be consulted

on the Brexit process, Professor Ted Malloch,

is tipped as the next US He is a professor at the Henley

Business School here in the UK. Thank you for coming to see us. When

is the confirmation call? When will you get the job? After the Secretary

of State is confirmed, then the ambassadors will be named, so we

last few days that we are no longer last few days that we are no longer

at the back of the queue with the rhetoric of President Obama, we are

somewhere near the front. I think you are at the very front, and that

is proved by the visit that will take place tomorrow. That you have

said you think it radio could be done once we are free of the

European Union within 90 days? I talk to people on the Trump team,

and I have talked to be Berlin but ten as well, and if you get the

right people in the right place with the right instructions -- I have

talked to people in number ten as well. It is very like an acquisition

deal, not suggest anyone is acquiring anyone, but if you get

those Forces Together, you can do this quickly, it doesn't have to

take seven years. You will not be the ambassador to the UK but the EU,

and yesterday you were saying it is possible that the single currency

might only have 18 months to live. What are they going to think of you

in Europe? I think that Europe will make its own decision. It's not

something that America will do or undo. In fact, it doesn't have that

much influence over the future of the euro. But I do think that there

are problems as we have seen already on the periphery of the European

continent around that currency. The Senate Majority Leader Mitch

McConnell has been talking today about the special relationship.

Let's have a look at what he was saying. One of the things that will

be explored here is a new relationship with the United

Kingdom. One of our earliest and oldest allies, their changes in the

approach to trade opens up the opportunity to discuss with the

Prime Minister the possibility of a bilateral trade agreement with the

British people. That was Mitch McConnell. I am interested in this.

Is it in America's interests that there is a strong, cohesive European

Union, or would you rather that the EU was a series of nation states

that you dealt with bilaterally? I think that Donald Trump prefers

dealing with countries bilaterally. Certainly America it's off would not

join a supranational organisation, and now the people of written have

made that same determination, it wouldn't surprise me if other people

in Europe make a similar determination. Jon and I...

Excuse me, let me be clear on what that means. Would you be in favour

of the break-up of the EU? I don't think we should favour or disfavour

the break-up of any union, it is a European decision. But Britain has

left, and so, too, might others. So we should be prepared to deal with

those countries bilaterally. I have enjoyed the differences in Europe

whether I have travelled there, whether cuisine, language, culture,

there is very little common language in Europe. Jon and I look at Donald

Trump's tweets quite a lot call as I'm sure so many people do around

the world. What I have noticed is he to eat very late at night, perhaps

at midnight, I don't know if it is him, it could be one of staff, and

then very early in the morning. Is he that kind of guy, is he always up

and full of ideas? Donald Trump is, to use his own language, a

high-energy human being, what you might not know is he only sleeps

four hours a night. So he is a bit like Margaret Thatcher! He is, he

has a lot of go, and I'm told that his responsiveness in the tweet

world is largely to music out that he reads or hears in the early

morning and late at night, so you can probably if you are trying to do

an algorithm on those tweets, look at them in those two different time

zones. I think you may be busy, he will be calling you in the middle of

the night! Just before I let you go, will you base your office in

Brussels or here in London? The US ambassador is to the European Union,

and that is in Brussels. Best of luck with the job when it finally

comes, thank you for coming in to be with us.

Back now to the row that has led to the Mexican visit to America being

cancelled. Senator Amanda Petter is with us. Did President Pena Nieto

make the right decision today? I think he did. A lot of people here

in Mexico felt there were no conditions for a good meeting, for a

meeting of talking and dialogue. I think the position of President

Trump hasn't been the right one. He has said that America will make

America pay for the war, and we don't agree with that. I wonder if

this is a row which suits both Presidents. President Pena Nieto

will look strong at home for standing up to the northern

neighbour, and Donald Trump can say, I'm not giving ground, and still

saying Mexico has to pay for the war. And you both win. I don't think

that will be the final situation. I think that's the condition we have

right now, and of course we here in Mexico need to be very united

regarding the position that we need to have on this new paradigms, that

Donald Trump means for us regarding trade, regarding security, regarding

migration, but we share a border of 300,000... 3000 kilometres, so our

interaction will continue. So I think it is good to have a pace of

time right now, and have things clear. I think Trump has had such a

bad speech against Mexico that we need to give a call and...

I think we have just lost the Senator, which is a shame, because

he was in full flow. We will try to get him back, but for

the moment, we will come away from that.

At the Republican meeting in Philadelphia where Theresa May

will speak later, one of the key policy areas they will discuss

is how and when to repeal the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare

- which has increased the number of Americans covered

by health insurance, though at some cost.

While Obamacare is set to be scrapped by Congress -

possibly as soon as March or April - no one is clear what will replace

it, and this is causing concern for many of the people who rely

In New York City, the home of Donald Trump, it is estimated that 1.6

million people could lose their health coverage of the affordable

care act is repealed. That is one in five of the city's population. Don

Leslie suffers from asthma, sleep apnoea and an injured knee. She

doesn't know what she would do if she lost her Obamacare coverage.

would be a disaster for me. I have would be a disaster for me. I have

to have health care in order to survive. If I don't have that health

care, if he gets rid of it, I'm dead in the water. No doubt, no doubt.

It's not just adults that could lose their coverage, but as many as 4

million children, and doctors are also worried about the pact of

existing treatments being interrupted. We are talking about

millions of people... This doctor says the human consequences of

repeal would be dire. We are talking about people dying? We are talking

about people dying, people suffering. A patient with high blood

pressure who goes without their mitts on for a few months is at

higher risk of stroke or heart attack. And a patient with cancer

who had started treatment, interruption in care would mean that

they are no longer to get the chemotherapy or the radiation

therapy or the surgery that they might need. So from that

perspective, I am very worried about the real consequences of what is

playing out on the national level. Hurling a wrecking ball at Obamacare

is in many ways the easy bit. The problem for the Trump administration

and Republicans on Capitol Hill is what you replace it with. This is an

executive order minimising the economic burden of the affordable

care act... Within hours of taking office with a

flourish of his pen, Donald Trump started rolling back his

predecessor's signature achievement. Without a clear administration plan

yet on the table of what to replace it with.

But on Capitol Hill, Republicans claim they can draft an alternative

that gives more access to more affordable coverage. I don't even

like to use the word replace. I like to think of it as repealing the bar

that is out there now and fixing what's left over and putting new

ideas in place, put some market-driven ideas in place and put

things in place that put patients first. For decades, health care has

been a polarising fault line issue between progressives and

conservatives. Many in the Republican base of been campaigning

for years for the end of Obamacare, but abolition carries political

risks, especially with poorer working class Americans who helped

Donald Trump which Washington. President Trump has been talking

about this in the last hour, but really there is nothing wrong with

looking at a policy if people's bills are starting to rise. But

there are trapdoors here for the president? And from millions of

Americans, there is here that they have gone on to Obamacare, their

premiums have gone up, their cover has gone down, and the first big you

have to pay, the deductible, has gone through the roof. Those people

are unhappy and want to see reform, but if you are one of the 20 million

people who suddenly got health insurance who didn't before, and you

suddenly lose it, what happens to those people? What happens when

story starter wouldn't appear in the newspaper that somebody hadn't been

able to get their treatment that they were previously able to because

they no longer have insurance? That is the danger for the Republicans,

and I think they are acutely aware of it. The other issue is, we will

make it better for the people, but some of the people on Obamacare are

the people who voted for him. Yes, and that is one of the paradoxes. A

lot of people in Kentucky and other places who voted for Donald Trump

stand to lose a huge amount if they lose their Obamacare, and that is

one of the risks that this administration is deeply conscious

of. So, Obamacare in the headlines. Let's look at some of the other key

stories. The British Government here has

paved the way to start the Brexit process.

The bill to allow the government to trigger Article 50 -

that's the formal process for leaving the EU -

was introduced after the Supreme Court ruled that

approval was needed by Members of Parliament.

The former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says

she'll register as a Muslim if Donald Trump creates a database

She's tweeted "I stand ready to register as Muslim in solidarity".

Her comments come in response to rumours about an executive

order on extreme vetting, a refugee ban, and a ban on arrivals

from seven countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Well, even before the American and Mexican presidents went

toe to toe on Twitter - a former leader really set the tone

And in no uncertain terms, the former Mexican leader

Vincent Fox posted this: "Sean Spicer, I've said this

to @realDonaldTrump and now I'll tell you: Mexico is not going to pay

Is I don't know what that word is, it has been bleeped out. Fabulous

wall? Folding walk! You are watching 100 Days from BBC News.

Coming up on BBC World News and the BBC News Channel in the UK:

the man who threatens to shake up French politics - meet

And almost a week in to his presidency,

we get the assessment of one Trump fan.

Is it only that short? That's all still to come here on 100 Days.

Good evening. It's been bitterly cold for many parts of the country,

and especially under the cloud. This is West Berkshire earlier today. In

East Anglia, the temperature struggled to rise above minus two.

We had some lovely sunshine across the north-west of Wales, look at

that beautiful, sunny skies. As the sun has gone down, the temperatures

are starting to melt away, the wind falling like inland, so a recipe for

widespread frost and mist and fog to return, more so than last night.

These are towns and city temperatures, but in the countryside

lower again, really quite bitter out and about. So, frost on the cars and

potentially because we will see a little drizzle around and some

snowflakes, just a few, there could well be nice on Friday mine's rush.

Some fog, too, particularly on the upper slopes of Wales, across the

Peak District and into parts of Yorkshire. Also parts of

Pembrokeshire. We have some patchy rain gathering towards the west, and

that is the sign of a change taking place during the day, but another

cold start. The setup on Friday is that we have this weather front

coming in, but the wind coming more from the south-east, so it will be

less bitter for most of us, but increasing cloud. It will still feel

cold and grey, for most of us it will still be dry, until later when

the showers Titus takes shape across parts of western Scotland. With it,

the air is mild, up to 10 Celsius by the end of the day. That band of

showers crosses its wake eastwards. Brighter weather replaces it, more

showers coming in on a south-westerly breeze, not

particularly warm, wintry mess over the hills, and this is the question

mark about Sunday, how far north this weather system will come. We

will see some rain in the south, but it looks on balance as if England

and Wales will have some rain and relatively mild air tied in with it.

The best of the brighter weather will be further north, and it will

be less cold and more breezy, but do stay tuned if you have plans this

weekend. Welcome back to 100 Days -

I'm Jon Sopel in Washington. And I'm Christian Fraser in London -

a reminder of our top story... The Mexican President won't be

coming to Washington after Donald Trump's ultimatum -

"If you won't pay for the wall, And coming up, what do Donald Trump

voters think of the President's Well, on Sunday evening,

the ruling Socialists of France will choose their candidate to run

in place of the deeply The second and final

round of the Socialist primaries - the former Prime Minister Manuel

Valls will be fighting it out with a candidate

from the left wing of the party, But the man who is rising fastest

in the polls is a centrist. He has been painting

himself as an alternative Lucy Williamson has

been finding out. For some, he is there a Emmanuel,

there are new political messiah. For others, he is a glossy young banker

with ambition these size of France. Either way, Emmanuel Macron is

getting rock star attention and audiences to match. His movement is

all about a fresh approach to politics, inviting the media into

his new campaign headquarters, for example. A bit of silicon valley in

Paris, where the average age is well under 30. There are bunk for resting

and hand drawn cartoons drawn on the wall. In a few short months, 150,000

members have signed up to his liberal pro-Europe agenda, twice as

many as the governing Socialist party has. Emmanuel Macron was once

a small-town boy who met his future wife at school here. The Midwest is

that she his teacher. TRANSLATION: At school he was

different, he was practically the equal of the teachers, he had an

Olympic level intelligence, faster, everyone knew he would be

exceptional. Emmanuel Macron is presenting

himself as an outsider, an alternative to the political

establishment. But he also graduated from some of France's most

prestigious schools and ended up as Economy Minister the President

Hollande. Only to quit two years later to launch his own presidential

bid. And while some of his former Socialist colleagues are flocking to

support him, others have labelled him an arch manipulator. More spin

than substance. TRANSLATION: Here we are today, three months from the

election and he did not know his position on several important

issues. Europe, education, secularism.

On these issues it is really up in the air.

Still, he is not doing badly for a man fighting his first ever election

campaign. He is a young politician and he is

not part of the political establishment, like others. He is

the only one who speaks about Europe. He is only 40. We expect him

to understand our programme, what we want France to become tomorrow.

French elections, they say, are always one in the centre, not just

by a man from the centre. But with the political landscape you're

shifting in the face of growing disappointment, although that could

change. Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Paris.

If there is one thing that myself and Jon Sopel can speak about, it is

Paris. To back former French correspondence. If Benoit Hamon wins

the Socialist primary at the weekend, really, the socialist can

give up on the centre ground in France, realistically, that must be

good news for Emmanuel Macron. The one thing I think is that for all

the headlines that he is generating, traditional centres do not do well

in France and the other thing, is he related a reformer and is a

anti-establishment? I remember reporting on him when I was in

Paris, he was part of Francois hall on's government. Yes, I do not know

what the collective noun is for so many former Paris correspondent is,

perhaps a flood of them! You are correct, the centre was candidate

when I covered the 2002 election, it was Marine Le Pen father who got to

the second there was a centrist candidate then, he did not do very

well. But I think all the old uncertainties, when you look at the

politics are unfolding in this country and in the UK with Brexit,

who would bet against the centrist candidate who seems to be offering

something different. I think all you can say is that there is a huge

amount of uncertainty. Yes, of course, all eyes on Marine Le Pen.

Yes, absolutely, she is the person that is making love the running and

you cannot help thinking that after the victory of Donald Trump, after

the Brexit vote, the natural thing would be, well, maybe it does Marine

Le Pen. But things are so conjugated in French politics and so

unpredictable that to try to make that prediction at the moment is

very premature indeed. Crucially important, of course, because it

could affect the Brexit negotiations. Let us go back to the

visit of Theresa May, she is in Philadelphia tonight and will speak

about the future trade deal. Yes, the BBC's Michelle Fleury is on the

floor of the New York Stock Exchange. How do business leaders

Villa about a bilateral deal with the UK? I think they are very

excited about the prospect. Here is the thing. The forces that led to

the Brexit vote is similar to the forces that led to the surprise

election victory of Donald Trump. Although that means that both sides

see an opportunity, certainly on the trade front to deepen the special

relationship, the kind and make it more of the commercial relationship.

I have a couple of figures are likely sure you, I will show you

more in the coming weeks, but let's start with this one. This is the

size of trade between the two countries. The US and the UK do on

average about $235 billion in trade between each other, that within

2015. About 3% of US annual trade is with the UK, making the UK the

seventh largest trading partner for the United States. As for the UK,

well, America is its second largest trading partner after the European

Union. But it is the biggest single country in terms of trading partners

if you start breaking down the EU. So the question is, what kind of

deal, what might the contours of the deal looked like and, Jon Sopel,

some people are saying it might mean more free movement between the two

countries for people who might want to work in the US or in the UK.

Others talk about perhaps the lowering of Tardis puther, but they

are already pretty at all. So would this involves more deregulation. So

for the pharmaceutical companies and America they might want more

protection, that could be a negative for the NHS in Britain, the Mr Avery

has always been a disagreement regarding food safety rules between

the two countries, could that be the sort of area? These are thorny

questions which will probably not, in this meeting but I think both

sides will claim a trade surplus, in other words, both think they sell

all -- more goods and services to the other country. That might expect

why Theresa May and Donald Trump believe this is a win win situation

for both side. Thank you for that, Michelle Fleury

on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

It's been nearly a week since his inauguration as President,

and Donald Trump has set quite a pace.

Twelve executive orders signed, and a raft of new policies set

in train, not to mention a few spats with the media and

What do people who voted for President Trump make

of his first few days in office, are they finally

Let's speak to Denise Galvez from the group Latinas For Trump.

Great to have you with us. And to look back at a pretty hurried few

days. How do you think he has got on? To be honest, I am actually very

happy with the executive orders, a lot of the ones that he has put in

place merely establish offices to look at things and further establish

investigations into things before putting anything into motion. I have

no problem with that, it is what I would have expected of him, knowing

his background and his experience and that he listens to many

different opinions before making a decision. Going through with the

wall, we knew that would happen but that does not mean it will be built

tomorrow. I know that he has been in meetings with agencies and

departments responsible for providing accurate information about

how many miles we need, how long it'll take to build, where the

issues are. He is this information before anything takes place. He will

need to find the funding and that is something we want to happen

immediately in the first few days. I was reading an article in which you

were quoted and someone from the Latino community said that he is

very Latino with the idea that he does things on the spot, like them,

they do not think about it, just get on with it. Well, we are people of

action, I'd ignore the words and rhetoric and just look at he does

and what effect it has on us as a country. I think as of now, he has

done a really good job of putting things into action. I am concerned

with his delivery sometimes. I do not think he is perfect by any

means, I think he lacks polish and hopefully, he will learn that along

the way before he does any damage! But I do agree with him taking

action on a lot of things and putting things in place, to start

changing the way that the world has been going and America has been kind

of abandoned. I believe in America first, I would agree with that. And

so looking at the criminal illegals, establishing an office to look into

that, how many do they have? How does this affect us? There is so

much misinformation from both sides out there. He had decided to

establish an office to look into that and that gives me the

conclusions and findings that should be unbiased, they should be based on

fact. There is so much of that fact being thrown around and alternative

facts and those lovely words are being thrown around in the media.

The truth is that it is based on perception and context, and really,

he does not have a lot of that, he does not have the experience and he

is now putting in place the offices and mechanisms that are needed to

make those decisions and to make important decisions. That, I am

happy about. Briefly, Denise, if you might, do you think he is picking

some unnecessary fights along the way? Yes, I always think that he has

to focus more on listening to what happens, let me put this in place,

then you can go ahead and criticise me. He loves to pick fights with

people who criticise him. He definitely needs to do that and I

come from the background of being a publicist, I think he needs like a

24-hour hold before reacting to any of the criticism he has. I agree

with waiting perhaps 24 hours before reacting via Twitter to some of the

things because I think it really distracts from the positive things

that he's putting in place. Thank you very much indeed.

A little bit of breaking news, the Vice President Mike Pence has said

that it will be a strict constructionist who will be

appointed to the Supreme Court when Donald Trump makes his announcement

next Thursday. Two translations of that, the first one is that it will

be someone who strictly follows the constitution. The second translation

of that is broadly speaking, you can interpret that to mean that it will

be a conservative and someone who is very pro-life and anti-abortion,

which, of course, set a whole argument about social policy for the

future of the United States, ones that Supreme Court appointee is

confirmed. That is it from 100 Days. We are

back next week on Monday. We are back at the same time, same place.

Thank you Jon Sopel for your company. Great pleasure for being

here, sorry for speaking overdue! -- overdue. -- over you.
