:01:39. > :01:40.if you don't agree with President Trump's agenda,
:01:41. > :01:44.And the first to go was the Attorney General Sally Yates,

:02:06. > :02:12.about the President's immigration order.
:02:13. > :02:20.He insisted it is not a ban on almost than is coming to the United

:02:26. > :02:31.planet, the vast majority of them, all other things being equal, have
:02:32. > :02:37.access to the United States, and a relatively small number right now
:02:38. > :02:42.are being held up for a period of time until we can take a look at
:02:43. > :02:45.what the procedures are. I would be less than honest if I told you that
:02:46. > :02:51.some of those countries that are currently on the list may not be
:02:52. > :02:54.taken off the list any time soon. They are countries that are in
:02:55. > :02:58.various states of collapse, as an example. But ultimately we would
:02:59. > :03:03.like to see all those countries taken off the list.
:03:04. > :03:09.John Kelly, the man in charge of American borders. Jon Sopel is with
:03:10. > :03:14.us, are we right to say this looks like damage control from the White
:03:15. > :03:19.House? There are accusations that this is chaos, confusion, amateur
:03:20. > :03:22.hour. It is day four since the announcement, and they are still
:03:23. > :03:27.putting up spokesman to explain what the ban is, what it isn't, but it is
:03:28. > :03:31.a pause, and that was raised at the briefing with the White House
:03:32. > :03:37.spokesman. Donald Trump tweeted it was a temporary. That was pointed
:03:38. > :03:41.out to a spokesman, who said, no no, the president was using the words
:03:42. > :03:45.that you use. So we can't choose his own? He has called it a temporary?
:03:46. > :03:49.The Secretary of Homeland Security has called a day polls. They seem to
:03:50. > :03:55.be at sixes and sevens, and the extraordinary drama of last night,
:03:56. > :04:00.the acting Attorney General accused of betrayal, what a word to use,
:04:01. > :04:03.extraordinary! I still think they are trying to get it sorted out,
:04:04. > :04:07.they are trying to get people on board, and there was a profound lack
:04:08. > :04:13.of consultation. Leave aside whether you agree with the policy or not,
:04:14. > :04:16.the manager of its implementation was shambolic. The Speaker of the
:04:17. > :04:19.House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, said it was regrettable that the
:04:20. > :04:25.roll-out was so confusing, wish it had not been catching out dual
:04:26. > :04:30.nationals and Iraqis working for the US Government, but is the GOP more
:04:31. > :04:34.broadly on board with the President here? I'm not sure, let's wait and
:04:35. > :04:37.see how this plays out. If this is seen to be an example of Donald
:04:38. > :04:41.Trump relying on a very small coterie of White House appointees
:04:42. > :04:46.who don't know what they are doing, then I think the GOP will strike
:04:47. > :04:51.back and say, you can't run government like this, you have to do
:04:52. > :04:57.it differently, and if it turns out right, maybe they will sit on hands
:04:58. > :05:00.and be quiet. Christian? I can tell you that the Europeans consider it a
:05:01. > :05:04.ban, some interesting comments denied from one of the most senior
:05:05. > :05:09.figures in Brussels, Donald Tusk, the European Council president. He
:05:10. > :05:14.says this puts into question the last 70 years of American foreign
:05:15. > :05:21.policy and the transatlantic bond. How will Washington respond to that?
:05:22. > :05:25.Well, I think that Washington won't be too worried, frankly, about what
:05:26. > :05:28.Donald Tusk is saying. I don't think there is any great attachments to
:05:29. > :05:32.the European Union in a way that Barack Obama made it absolutely
:05:33. > :05:35.plain when he was president that it was in the strategic interests of
:05:36. > :05:41.the United States to have a very strong European Union. Christian, I
:05:42. > :05:45.just dug out what Donald Trump said to me the day after Brexit, and I
:05:46. > :05:51.questioned him at his golf course in Scotland on one of my more surreal
:05:52. > :05:54.reporting assignments! I asked him, would you support the break-up of
:05:55. > :05:59.the European Union? He replied, it looks like it is on its way, and we
:06:00. > :06:04.will see what happens. It's hardly sounded like a ringing endorsement
:06:05. > :06:05.of the EU by the man who is now the President of the United States. Jon
:06:06. > :06:07.Sopel, thanks for coming in. The President is clearly frustrated
:06:08. > :06:10.that some of his cabinet members Among his latest tweets was
:06:11. > :06:13.this message: "The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks
:06:14. > :06:16.for purely political reasons." "They have nothing
:06:17. > :06:17.going but to obstruct." That was around the time
:06:18. > :06:22.he was sacking her. "When will the Democrats
:06:23. > :06:26.give us our Attorney General "They should be ashamed
:06:27. > :06:29.of themselves!" A lot of people might agree with
:06:30. > :06:40.that, by the way! I've been speaking to
:06:41. > :06:42.Senator Amy Klobuchar, the Democratic Senator
:06:43. > :06:44.for Minnesota, and started by asking why she's objecting
:06:45. > :06:47.to Mr Trump's immigration ban. Well, I think the first thing,
:06:48. > :06:50.of course, You have refugees all over
:06:51. > :06:59.the world that have played by the rules, that have waited,
:07:00. > :07:02.sometimes for years, to get in, and they were just ready to get
:07:03. > :07:05.on a plane either the next day or a week later, and they've
:07:06. > :07:07.been denied access. Then you have people with
:07:08. > :07:14.work visas, students on visas. You have people frozen in travel
:07:15. > :07:18.that can't go for a visit The second piece of this
:07:19. > :07:25.is a security one, and I think that was best articulated
:07:26. > :07:27.by Republican Senators McCain and Graham, who said this
:07:28. > :07:29.is a self-inflicted wound when it comes to fighting terrorism
:07:30. > :07:32.and trying to work positively This does not bode well for us
:07:33. > :07:38.in terms of trying to reach out to moderate elements, when we
:07:39. > :07:41.basically shut down our doors, and that is what, I think,
:07:42. > :07:44.is the result of this, and it's certainly how it's been
:07:45. > :07:50.perceived around the world. But as you know, Senator,
:07:51. > :07:53.the majority of Americans, two opinion polls in January
:07:54. > :07:56.point this out, do seem to like the idea
:07:57. > :07:58.of tightening America's borders. You come from a state, Minnesota,
:07:59. > :08:03.that has a lot of Muslim immigrants, I'm sure people there
:08:04. > :08:07.have concerns too, and even since last Friday
:08:08. > :08:11.we repeatedly hear from Trump voters that they like what
:08:12. > :08:14.the President is doing. I think first of all,
:08:15. > :08:17.in my state we are very proud of our Somali population,
:08:18. > :08:21.100,000 strong. We have the second biggest Hmong
:08:22. > :08:23.population, and depending
:08:24. > :08:25.on how you ask these questions, if you couch them as security,
:08:26. > :08:28.people do get concerned. But when you couch them are saying,
:08:29. > :08:31.this is someone who is working in the hospital, they've worked
:08:32. > :08:33.there for ten years, should they be allowed to go home
:08:34. > :08:36.and visit their mom, you're going to get
:08:37. > :08:39.a lot different answer. And I think part of this
:08:40. > :08:44.is that the effect of this is brand-new people are starting
:08:45. > :08:47.to see what it means, and I think there is universal
:08:48. > :08:49.agreement from a number of Republican Senators that,
:08:50. > :08:51.as Rob Portman said, And if anything, no matter if you're
:08:52. > :08:59.a Trump voter or a Clinton voter, and we're not going to relegislate
:09:00. > :09:02.that, one must agree that this wasn't done right and that governing
:09:03. > :09:05.by tweet and a quick resolution where you don't consult with law
:09:06. > :09:07.enforcement result in havoc, OK, Senator, while I have you here,
:09:08. > :09:16.let me ask you about Sally Yates, the deputy Attorney General
:09:17. > :09:18.who was fired last night. The White House has the law
:09:19. > :09:23.on its side on this one, doesn't it? They were in their right
:09:24. > :09:29.to have the executive order, and they are in their rights to fire
:09:30. > :09:33.Sally Yates for what she did. but let's step back
:09:34. > :09:37.and talk about if it is right. First of all,
:09:38. > :09:40.if they had consulted with her, with her vast experience,
:09:41. > :09:42.30 years as a prosecutor, maybe this order would have
:09:43. > :09:44.been different. Maybe it wouldn't have been delayed,
:09:45. > :09:46.maybe they could have done some of these technology changes they may
:09:47. > :09:49.want to do without hurting people Secondly, the way he did it,
:09:50. > :09:56.to vilify the woman, Sally Yates, who literally has been a prosecutor
:09:57. > :09:59.for Republican, Democratic Presidents, she prosecuted
:10:00. > :10:02.the Olympic Park bomber case. I worked with her
:10:03. > :10:13.on human trafficking. She has been very popular
:10:14. > :10:18.in all the jobs that she has held. She is not some kind
:10:19. > :10:20.of liberal activist, she's a career prosecutor,
:10:21. > :10:22.and then to say that she betrayed the Department of Justice,
:10:23. > :10:26.betrayed, in effect, her country, when she was dismissed, I think
:10:27. > :10:29.that just went a step too far that we've seen coming out
:10:30. > :10:33.of the White House. OK, let me ask you about
:10:34. > :10:35.the Supreme Court pick, finally, As a Democrat, in the Senate,
:10:36. > :10:40.who is on the judiciary committee, are you going to oppose
:10:41. > :10:44.whoever President Trump nominates? Well, this is a solemn
:10:45. > :10:46.responsibility for someone on the judiciary committee,
:10:47. > :10:50.and we will have a hearing, obviously scheduled
:10:51. > :10:54.by the Republicans. We will have a hearing,
:10:55. > :10:56.and that will be our opportunity that influence Americans
:10:57. > :11:06.in their everyday lives. And so one of the most important
:11:07. > :11:08.things to remember here is while all these nominations,
:11:09. > :11:11.whether it is the Secretary of State or the Attorney General,
:11:12. > :11:14.are on a 51-vote majority margin, the Supreme Court, by the US Senate
:11:15. > :11:16.rules, is a 60-vote margin. So that means that you need
:11:17. > :11:19.Democratic and Republican votes, and I think that is very important
:11:20. > :11:23.for your viewers to understand - And it better be someone
:11:24. > :11:29.in the mainstream to have Democrats
:11:30. > :11:31.even consider voting for them, but I think right now people
:11:32. > :11:34.are waiting to see who it is. I'm a former prosecutor -
:11:35. > :11:37.you look at the evidence, waiting to see who it is,
:11:38. > :11:40.having the hearing and making decisions.
:11:41. > :11:51.Senator Amy Klobuchar, thank you. We will talk about that nomination
:11:52. > :11:54.in a second. Mr Trump's new immigration
:11:55. > :11:56.policy may be setting off protests at home and abroad,
:11:57. > :11:59.but it is worth remembering that a large portion of the electorate
:12:00. > :12:01.is behind the president. And of course the man sent out every
:12:02. > :12:05.day to defend the President's policy is White House Press Secretary
:12:06. > :12:06.Sean Spicer. He has been speaking in the last few
:12:07. > :12:09.minutes and was questioned about how much dissent
:12:10. > :12:11.the President would tolerate The President was very clear
:12:12. > :12:16.during the campaign, whether it was economic security
:12:17. > :12:20.or national security, but he has an agenda
:12:21. > :12:22.that he articulated very, very clearly
:12:23. > :12:23.to the American people. And that...
:12:24. > :12:25.Hold on, thank you. And that it is his job to lay
:12:26. > :12:29.that vision out and the people that he appoints and nominates
:12:30. > :12:31.and announces as staff members or cabinet level
:12:32. > :12:33.members or agency heads, and if they don't like it,
:12:34. > :12:37.then they shouldn't take the job. But it is the President's agenda
:12:38. > :12:47.that we are fulfilling here. Sean Spicer speaking a few moments
:12:48. > :12:48.ago. Let's talk to Councilman
:12:49. > :12:50.Joe Borelli, who served as co-chair
:12:51. > :13:00.of Mr Trump's campaign in New York. Let me ask you about this idea of
:13:01. > :13:03.dissent, do you agree with Sean Spicer that if civil servants, for
:13:04. > :13:08.example in the State Department, don't agree with this immigration
:13:09. > :13:14.ban, then they should simply leave the State Department? Well, let's be
:13:15. > :13:19.clear about the acting AJ's position, it is not a protected
:13:20. > :13:23.position... I wasn't asking about the Attorney General, I was asking
:13:24. > :13:27.about civil servants in the State Department. Well, look, they should
:13:28. > :13:31.work under the direction of their bosses. The only way we can
:13:32. > :13:34.effectively measure a president and vote for them based on actions is
:13:35. > :13:39.whether their agenda is able to be carried out. If we allow dissension
:13:40. > :13:43.in the ranks of executive agencies, how can we effectively judge whether
:13:44. > :13:49.the President's agenda was good or bad and vote accordingly in the
:13:50. > :13:52.future? Let me ask you about the immigration ban, what Paul Ryan said
:13:53. > :13:56.about it this morning, whether you agree with it or not, whether you
:13:57. > :14:01.think it will make America safer or not, do you agree with Paul Ryan
:14:02. > :14:07.that it was rolled out in a way that was regrettable and at times
:14:08. > :14:09.chaotic? Well, yeah, and I think you pointed it out earlier, anything
:14:10. > :14:13.that has to be explained for a number of days after it has been
:14:14. > :14:17.rolled out, certainly, you could find probably half a dozen faults.
:14:18. > :14:21.It doesn't take away from the ultimate policy, but when you have
:14:22. > :14:26.this much confusion regarding this implementation, and some of it
:14:27. > :14:29.actually leads to the protests and some of the anger amongst the
:14:30. > :14:34.population, I think it is safe to say that the roll-out was done
:14:35. > :14:37.poorly. I am sure you are aware of the protests outside the country,
:14:38. > :14:43.1.7 million people in Britain have signed a petition objecting to the
:14:44. > :14:46.invitation that has been extended to the President, this state visit, and
:14:47. > :14:52.there is a debate slated for next week in the parliament - are you at
:14:53. > :14:58.all concerned about some of the protest you have seen among allies
:14:59. > :15:01.like the UK? I'm not terribly, and I think the meeting between Prime
:15:02. > :15:05.Minister May and Donald Trump last week went fairly well. I hope that
:15:06. > :15:09.the British public does not sort of idea or bends to the will of the
:15:10. > :15:16.people who signed that petition. I think it is in both country's best
:15:17. > :15:18.interests going forward. We are both in a transformative stage, facing
:15:19. > :15:22.fundamental changes, and I think we can do it better together. So I
:15:23. > :15:27.don't see why the British public would be so outraged, but we
:15:28. > :15:29.shouldn't be surprised - this was a debate that was happening in
:15:30. > :15:33.Parliament when Mr Trump was a candidate. Maybe they are outraged
:15:34. > :15:37.because the Prime Minister has made clear she does not support the AG,
:15:38. > :15:39.Home Secretary Amber Rudd was talking about it earlier today.
:15:40. > :15:42.Isil and Daesh will use any opportunity they can to make
:15:43. > :15:44.difficulties to make the environment they want to radicalise people,
:15:45. > :15:47.to bring them over to their side, so it is a propaganda opportunity
:15:48. > :16:00.A propaganda opportunity for so-called Islamic State, an own
:16:01. > :16:03.goal. There is a propaganda opportunity with drone strikes, a
:16:04. > :16:06.propaganda opportunity with anything. To say that if Donald
:16:07. > :16:12.Trump of the American government didn't go through with this ban,
:16:13. > :16:14.somehow Isis would pack up and take up fishing or something is
:16:15. > :16:20.preposterous. This is not a problem that is going to go away, and it is
:16:21. > :16:23.not going to go away by bending to the desires or appease the people
:16:24. > :16:29.that wheel to be fighting against. So I certainly disagree with the
:16:30. > :16:32.Home Secretary. Good to get your thoughts, stay with us, we want to
:16:33. > :16:35.get your thoughts on some other things in the programme.
:16:36. > :16:38.Katty, one of the more important decisions Donald Trump will make
:16:39. > :16:40.in his first 100 days will be his pick for
:16:41. > :16:44.The ninth chair has been empty for a year since the death
:16:45. > :16:45.of the conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.
:16:46. > :16:48.So this is the current line-up in the court.
:16:49. > :16:55.If we were to divide them on the issue of Roe v Wade,
:16:56. > :16:57.five are pro choice, three are against.
:16:58. > :16:59.So whoever Trump picks might not make an immediate difference
:17:00. > :17:03.But if we put the oldest judges on the top row,
:17:04. > :17:05.three of them are around 80 years old.
:17:06. > :17:10.who was one of President Clinton's picks, is 83.
:17:11. > :17:13.So it's not beyond possibility, Katty, that at some point
:17:14. > :17:16.in the next four years Mr Trump will get another pick,
:17:17. > :17:21.and that could tip the balance decisively.
:17:22. > :17:24.Well, the issue of abortion is certainly important
:17:25. > :17:26.to the Vice President, Mike Pence, a practising Christian
:17:27. > :17:29.with conservative values and a key influence over the social policy
:17:30. > :17:42.And the Supreme Court Justices are possibly the nine most powerful
:17:43. > :17:47.people in this country, and they are there for life. President Trump will
:17:48. > :17:51.leave neither four years or aide years' time, and all of these
:17:52. > :17:55.executive orders could potentially be overturned by the next president.
:17:56. > :18:01.These justices are there for life, and as you pointed out, one has been
:18:02. > :18:05.a there for 30 years. They will have a huge impact on American social and
:18:06. > :18:14.political life for decades to come. Antonin Scalia was a Reagan pick, so
:18:15. > :18:23.it shows you how long they have been on the bench. Mike Pence is
:18:24. > :18:24.certainly a key influence on this administration.
:18:25. > :18:27.Our correspondent Jeremy Cooke went to his home state of Indiana,
:18:28. > :18:30.to speak to his critics - and supporters - to find out more.
:18:31. > :18:32.It's morning in middle America, and the pro-life lobby
:18:33. > :18:37.Pray for the closing of this abortion clinic
:18:38. > :18:44.Every woman arriving at this abortion clinic is approached
:18:45. > :18:48.Did you say you came for birth control? No.
:18:49. > :18:51.Abortion is still illegal under US federal law,
:18:52. > :18:56.Mike Pence was committed to restricting access.
:18:57. > :18:59.I think the reason that you see Donald Trump in power
:19:00. > :19:05.with Mike Pence is because of the pro-life movement.
:19:06. > :19:08.For believers like Jodie Smith, abortion is not a key issue -
:19:09. > :19:11.Mike Pence, you think, will be steadfast?
:19:12. > :19:13.He will be steadfast, we know he will.
:19:14. > :19:20.He is very committed to life and always has been.
:19:21. > :19:23.This is not anything new for Mike Pence.
:19:24. > :19:27.It was victory in the communities of heartland America
:19:28. > :19:31.which helped propel Donald Trump into the White House.
:19:32. > :19:36.Famously, he had never held elected office,
:19:37. > :19:39.but Mike Pence had, and that may mean that the new Vice President
:19:40. > :19:44.has rare power and influence in the game of national politics.
:19:45. > :19:46.For many here, Mike Pence is a hometown hero,
:19:47. > :19:49.a key player in the state's political arena.
:19:50. > :19:52.Now, though, he's taken the Indiana playbook
:19:53. > :19:59.Standing now at President Trump's right hand, Mike Pence has always
:20:00. > :20:03.taken strongly conservative positions on issues
:20:04. > :20:08.including LGBT rights and sex education.
:20:09. > :20:14.Faith, he says, is central to his life and to his politics.
:20:15. > :20:17.For me, the sanctity of life proceeds out of the belief
:20:18. > :20:20.where God says, "Before you were formed in the womb,
:20:21. > :20:23.I knew you," and so from my first time in public life,
:20:24. > :20:29.I've sought to stand with great compassion for the sanctity of life.
:20:30. > :20:31.I'm afraid we're going to get rained on today...
:20:32. > :20:40.Before she had them, she had an abortion.
:20:41. > :20:43.There were so many things wrong with her that there was
:20:44. > :20:46.no waiting to see if she would survive or get better,
:20:47. > :20:47.there was only waiting for her to die.
:20:48. > :20:51.Victoria insists it was right to terminate a non-viable pregnancy
:20:52. > :20:56.and warns women across America to beware of Mike Pence.
:20:57. > :21:01.While he himself may seem mild-mannered and calm
:21:02. > :21:05.and not like a threat, what he symbolises for activists
:21:06. > :21:12.who would like to limit our rights is that now is the time.
:21:13. > :21:16.In a funeral home on the edge of town, hundreds of women gathered -
:21:17. > :21:22.How many of you believe that it is important that women
:21:23. > :21:27.in this country have access to safe and legal abortion?
:21:28. > :21:34.Here, the raised voices are the other women of the Midwest.
:21:35. > :21:39.The only way we're going to go forward is if we are involved.
:21:40. > :21:43.This is the other side of the mass protest marches.
:21:44. > :21:49.means the nature of American government is changing.
:21:50. > :21:51.Here, it feels like the nature of American opposition
:21:52. > :22:06.who served as co-chair of Mr Trump's campaign in New York.
:22:07. > :22:10.There are several very Christian conservatives in this
:22:11. > :22:15.administration, as well as Mike Pence, but 70% of Americans do not
:22:16. > :22:19.want Roe v Wade to be overturned. Whoever is nominated to the Supreme
:22:20. > :22:25.Court, should we be taking that off the table? Well, I don't think Roe v
:22:26. > :22:28.Wade is a decision that can be overturned easily, nor do I think it
:22:29. > :22:35.is President Trump's direct intention to directly overturned
:22:36. > :22:39.that decision. Washington has always been... -- abortion been a
:22:40. > :22:42.controversial issue in this country, and the question is going to be
:22:43. > :22:45.whether the taxpayers, whether the government should be funding
:22:46. > :22:49.abortions, and that seems to be what Donald Trump has focused on with his
:22:50. > :22:54.executive order, reinstating the Mexico City policy which bans
:22:55. > :22:57.foreign non-governmental organisations from receiving funds
:22:58. > :23:01.to perform abortions. That is the future of the debate in the country,
:23:02. > :23:06.I think Donald Trump will appoint someone tonight he was pro-life. Joe
:23:07. > :23:08.Borelli in New York, thanks very much. We will bring you news on that
:23:09. > :23:10.appointment tomorrow. First, it was Silicon Valley,

:23:21. > :23:22.and believe immigration is an essential part
:23:23. > :23:26.of America's strength." because Rupert Murdoch
:23:27. > :23:30.has close ties to Mr Trump. Murdoch is also chairman
:23:31. > :23:33.of the conservative-leaning Fox News, whose anchor Bill O'Reilly
:23:34. > :23:38.had this to say last night. We don't want to tarnish the message
:23:39. > :23:42.the Statue of Liberty sends. Also, the administration must be

:25:05. > :25:08.million people have signed it, calling for the cancellation of Mr

:25:19. > :25:23.subject is due to be debated in the UK Parliament on Monday the 20th of
:25:24. > :25:30.February. I expect that will be a very feisty debate. You think?!
:25:31. > :25:33.You're watching One Hundred Days from BBC News.
:25:34. > :25:37.Still to come for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News,

:25:50. > :26:08.That's still to come on 100 Days from BBC News.
:26:09. > :26:14.Hello, good evening. All our weather is going to be coming in from the
:26:15. > :26:19.West for the start of February, we can see it all queueing up out in
:26:20. > :26:23.the Atlantic, today's cloud still bringing rain and drizzle. This
:26:24. > :26:26.cloud arriving in the south-west on Wednesday, or significant cloud
:26:27. > :26:29.arriving on Thursday, and this cloud that at the moment is towards New
:26:30. > :26:34.York may bring stormy conditions by the end of the week. If you are
:26:35. > :26:38.wondering what the sunshine looks like, we eventually got some in
:26:39. > :26:42.Northern Ireland, but for many parts of the UK, weather to forget, a lot
:26:43. > :26:48.of low cloud, rain and drizzle, turning wetter over the past few
:26:49. > :26:51.hours across England and Wales. That rain will creep eastwards, lifting
:26:52. > :26:56.temperatures in eastern England, becoming drier later out towards the
:26:57. > :26:59.West, a few breaks in the cloud across north-west Scotland and
:27:00. > :27:02.Northern Ireland, so it touched surely here, otherwise not a
:27:03. > :27:08.particularly cold night, but not pleasant all in all. The land down
:27:09. > :27:14.for most of us on Wednesday to start, rain and wrestle mainly
:27:15. > :27:18.across England. -- dull and damp for most of us one Wednesday to start,
:27:19. > :27:25.rain and drizzle mainly across England. A milder day than the last
:27:26. > :27:29.few, but eastern England and Scotland. As we head into Thursday,
:27:30. > :27:33.this is the first big area of low pressure that is getting close to
:27:34. > :27:37.our shores, the centre tracking to the west of Ireland, the biggest
:27:38. > :27:41.impacts are likely to be felt in island, but in the UK gales, may be
:27:42. > :27:46.severe around Western and southern coastal areas, some rain from time
:27:47. > :27:50.to time, not much left by the afternoon, but a mild and windy day.
:27:51. > :27:54.That wet and windy weather moves away, and this is the next one, the
:27:55. > :27:58.headache towards the end of the week. Low pressure approaching our
:27:59. > :28:05.shores, but what is going to happen to it? Is it going to develop? Some
:28:06. > :28:10.computer models push it to the south of us, less impact, that scenario is
:28:11. > :28:14.less likely. The more likely scenario is that the low pressure
:28:15. > :28:19.will deepen, will develop, turn towards the UK, and that will leave
:28:20. > :28:23.us with more impact. Some wet weather, but also very windy,
:28:24. > :28:27.particularly towards the south-west of the UK, gusts of up to 80 mph,
:28:28. > :30:11.wet and windy weather moving northwards.
:30:12. > :30:14.Welcome back to 100 Days with Katty Kay in Washington
:30:15. > :30:20.National security officials rally to the defence of President Trump's
:30:21. > :30:21.controversial immigration order, the new Secretary

:31:23. > :31:27.Europe's right promises a patriotic spring.
:31:28. > :31:35.In communities like this they are warming to the idea.
:31:36. > :31:38.It can be hard to make a living in Germany's north
:31:39. > :31:40.coast and it feels a long way from Berlin.
:31:41. > :31:42.They've little trust here in Angela Merkel.
:31:43. > :31:44.After all, they say, she has little time for them.
:31:45. > :31:46.TRANSLATION: They just look after the big cities.

:31:59. > :32:04.Polls suggest one in every ten voters supports AFD.
:32:05. > :32:07.In this region it's even more popular.
:32:08. > :32:14.TRANSLATION: The other parties avoid the real problems.
:32:15. > :32:16.Merkel just sticks to her views even though
:32:17. > :32:26.If she hadn't brought those people into this country, the victims of
:32:27. > :32:31.the Berlin Christmas market would still be alive. And AFD has
:32:32. > :32:34.ambition. This form and radio presenter is standing directly
:32:35. > :32:37.against Angela Merkel in her own constituency. He is unlikely to take
:32:38. > :32:43.her seat but it isn't impossible. TRANSLATION: We have a big problem
:32:44. > :32:49.with radical Islam. We need to talk about it. It has been taboo in
:32:50. > :32:54.Germany. The AFD have broken that taboo. Thank god people now talk
:32:55. > :32:59.about their fears. Just look at who is carrying out terror attacks in
:33:00. > :33:03.Europe, they are all Islamists. 2017 may yet be the year Europe's
:33:04. > :33:09.political landscape shifts beyond recognition. There are elections in
:33:10. > :33:13.France and the Netherlands, too. The real election battles will be fought
:33:14. > :33:16.in communities like this where people feel forgotten by their
:33:17. > :33:21.national governments, left behind by the political establishment. If
:33:22. > :33:26.Europe's leaders really want to stop the rise of the right they must meet

:33:52. > :33:57.their trust. They are emboldened by Brexit and Donald Trump's victory.
:33:58. > :34:02.AFD's bid for election glory already divides this country.
:34:03. > :34:10.So interesting. Left behind, forgotten, it is exactly what we
:34:11. > :34:14.heard here during the course of the American presidential election
:34:15. > :34:20.campaign. We know how that turned out. How does this work in Europe?
:34:21. > :34:24.Does Donald Trump emboldened these far right parties, or does he bring
:34:25. > :34:29.out voters in the centre who say, we don't want to go the way America
:34:30. > :34:37.went? That will be an interesting question, particularly for the
:34:38. > :34:43.French, because they have politicians on the right. And the
:34:44. > :34:51.person running against Marine Le Pen is in all sorts of trouble. I want
:34:52. > :34:59.to bring up this picture, this meeting that Jenny was talking about
:35:00. > :35:06.in Koblenz. These are the populist parties of you. Four of these -- two
:35:07. > :35:10.of these will have elections this year. Marine Le Pen, we know all
:35:11. > :35:15.about. The Italian separatist party leader in the middle. The
:35:16. > :35:21.Netherlands will also have elections. And on the end is a
:35:22. > :35:25.politician from the Freedom Party in Austria. They nearly snatched the
:35:26. > :35:30.presidency just at the end of last year. We can see how popular these
:35:31. > :35:34.parties are. While Donald Tusk is talking today about the existential
:35:35. > :35:38.threat from America, China and Russia, it is within their mist. It
:35:39. > :35:42.is the rise of these populist parties which is the threat. And
:35:43. > :35:47.many are having arguments which are similar to the once Donald Trump has
:35:48. > :35:52.had about jobs, about immigration, about youth unemployment. -- ones.
:35:53. > :35:55.These arguments are the same in Europe and that is why they are
:35:56. > :36:00.proving so popular. One argument which is different and something
:36:01. > :36:04.that divides Trump and his party and those parties in Europe, and that is
:36:05. > :36:09.their belief in government and the state. Trump came to power largely
:36:10. > :36:12.on a rejection of government and the idea of state intervention. Many of
:36:13. > :36:16.those parties are not running on that. Marine Le Pen is not running
:36:17. > :36:22.against the French state or the intervention of French government.
:36:23. > :36:27.That idea, we are still Europeans, we still like government and we
:36:28. > :36:28.still like the state. That's find out what is happening in Europe and
:36:29. > :36:30.the Brexit negotiations. British politicians have begun
:36:31. > :36:32.debating their views on Brexit ahead of a crucial vote
:36:33. > :36:34.on the issue tomorrow. A Bill which would give
:36:35. > :36:36.the government the authority to trigger Article 50 -
:36:37. > :36:39.the formal notice to quite the EU. All eyes here on the size
:36:40. > :36:42.of the opposition to the bill. The Brexit Secretary David
:36:43. > :36:44.Davis says Parliament must honour the wishes of the people,
:36:45. > :36:46.who voted to leave We asked the people
:36:47. > :36:51.of the UK if they wanted to leave the European Union
:36:52. > :36:53.they decided they did. So, at the core of this bill lies
:36:54. > :36:56.a very simple question, The electorate voted
:36:57. > :37:01.for a government to give Parliament then voted
:37:02. > :37:04.to hold the referendum. And we are now honouring
:37:05. > :37:22.the result of that referendum. Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer
:37:23. > :37:24.made it clear that Labour's official position is to support the bill,
:37:25. > :37:27.even though he personally wished the referendum result
:37:28. > :37:31.had gone the other way. Had the outcome being to remain
:37:32. > :37:33.we would have expected A decision was made on the 23rd
:37:34. > :37:44.of June last year to leave the EU. Two thirds of Labour MPs represent
:37:45. > :37:51.constituencies that voted to leave. One third represent constituencies
:37:52. > :37:53.that voted to remain. This is obviously
:37:54. > :37:58.a difficult decision. I wish the result had
:37:59. > :38:00.gone the other way. But as democrats, our party has
:38:01. > :38:16.to accept the result. We have spoken about this before,
:38:17. > :38:19.America's populist revolution is moving at a dizzying speed. From
:38:20. > :38:24.this side of the Atlantic it looks like Britain is moving at a snail's
:38:25. > :38:29.pace with Brexit. Will that vote in parliament tomorrow finally speed up
:38:30. > :38:32.the process? David Davies says he isn't amending decision that has
:38:33. > :38:35.already been made. The people took the decision last June. The delay
:38:36. > :38:40.has been in the legal battles that finished just the other week. We
:38:41. > :38:44.reported on it last week. It was at the Supreme Court. They said
:38:45. > :38:47.Parliament had to be given a vote on triggering this formal process.
:38:48. > :38:54.That's begun today. They will probably tomorrow night a deal from
:38:55. > :38:57.the nationalist parties. So we will see this convoluted process which
:38:58. > :39:02.I'm sure is familiar with people who follow bills through Congress. What
:39:03. > :39:06.matters to people in the UK and outside the UK is the timetable.
:39:07. > :39:09.What I understand from my colleagues at Westminster tonight is that there
:39:10. > :39:14.will be three tight days of debate next week. Then it will proceed to
:39:15. > :39:17.the Lords. There will be Parliamentary ping-pong as they try
:39:18. > :39:22.to amend this bill. But they feel they can get it through Parliament
:39:23. > :39:25.by the 7th of March. That is important for Theresa May, because
:39:26. > :39:32.she wants to go to the European summit in Brussels on the 9th of
:39:33. > :39:37.March and the 10th of March, she wants to be able to say, this is it,
:39:38. > :39:42.this is the official start of Pat -- that Brexit process. That means they
:39:43. > :39:50.will then start to get the process going. And that will take a great
:39:51. > :39:51.deal of time. I will hold you to that.
:39:52. > :39:54.Businesses have had a lot to say about Trump's travel ban.
:39:55. > :39:56.Big tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon and Expedia have
:39:57. > :39:59.been some of the most vocal critics, and are now helping Washington state

:40:12. > :40:18.When you consider silicon valley, it is really in their DNA, not just
:40:19. > :40:22.because these companies were founded by immigrants or where the
:40:23. > :40:27.descendants of immigrants, but also because it is one of their key
:40:28. > :40:31.resources today. Many of their workers, many of the brightest
:40:32. > :40:36.engineers, Best software developers, come from other parts of the world.
:40:37. > :40:40.They fear they will see a brain drain if Donald Trump expands from
:40:41. > :40:44.this immigration and starts targeting, for example, work visas,
:40:45. > :40:48.which they rely on. The other thing is it goes against their core
:40:49. > :40:51.values. If you think back to Google and its inception, one of the things
