:00:59. > :01:01.going to breathe new life I'm Katty Kay in Washington,
:01:02. > :01:29.Christian Fraser is in London. President Trump in the last hour has
:01:30. > :01:35.been speaking to members of the US Armed Forces in Tampa, Florida. This
:01:36. > :01:37.is his first addressed to troops as their Commander-in-Chief and he has
:01:38. > :01:44.been speaking in particular about Nato.
:01:45. > :01:50.We have your back, every hour of every day, now and always. That also
:01:51. > :01:58.means getting our allies to pay their fair share, they are very
:01:59. > :02:04.unfair to us. They strongly support Nato. We only ask that all of the
:02:05. > :02:06.Nato members make their full and proper financial contributions to
:02:07. > :02:09.the Nato alliance, which many of them have not been doing.
:02:10. > :02:12.Our North America Correspondent, Nick Bryant, is here.
:02:13. > :02:17.You were sitting with me in the studio, there is President Trump
:02:18. > :02:22.making what seems like a recommitment to Nato, having once
:02:23. > :02:27.said not so long ago that nature was obsolete. One of the ringing phrase
:02:28. > :02:31.from the election campaign. And the fact that he regards a lot of Nato
:02:32. > :02:37.members do not pay their way and members are supposed to pay 2% of
:02:38. > :02:42.GDP to finance the defence. And the Secretary General of Nato saying
:02:43. > :02:46.they should do exactly that. Yes, he is clearly saying America is not
:02:47. > :02:51.prepared to underwrite your defence any more, unless you stump up the
:02:52. > :02:54.cash yourself. He has also been talking about the threat of
:02:55. > :03:01.terrorism and of Islamic State, it is very symbolic he is at CentCom,
:03:02. > :03:08.the place that has run the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and some of the
:03:09. > :03:12.activities against Isis. And he said that terrorism has got so out of
:03:13. > :03:17.control, it has led to the point where the press does not even report
:03:18. > :03:24.on some of it. He said about the very, very dishonest media, don't
:03:25. > :03:28.even report on some terror attacks. He has recommitted America to the
:03:29. > :03:31.fight against Islamic State. He has also spoken about this controversial
:03:32. > :03:35.executive order at the centre of this legal battle and he said he
:03:36. > :03:39.wants to allow people into the country who love America but do not
:03:40. > :03:44.seek to destroy it. So given everything that has happened over
:03:45. > :03:47.the weekend, and we will get onto the legality of this executive order
:03:48. > :03:51.in a moment, but how much of the political problem is this for the
:03:52. > :03:56.White House at the moment, this immigration ban? It is a huge
:03:57. > :04:00.political problem at the moment because it has seemed to be rushed
:04:01. > :04:03.through, been worded imprecisely and it has been seen to open up the
:04:04. > :04:10.administration to this kind of legal challenge. At the moment, the judges
:04:11. > :04:14.in the west coast particularly are holding, they are actually agreeing
:04:15. > :04:17.with the opponents of the order in saying that it should be stopped at
:04:18. > :04:22.the moment so that people from these mainly Muslim countries can enter
:04:23. > :04:26.the country. So it has created a problem on that level, but there are
:04:27. > :04:30.many people, Donald Trump supporters, who are strongly behind
:04:31. > :04:33.this executive order and polls show the nation is divided but some of
:04:34. > :04:36.the polls suggest there is majority support for this executive order,
:04:37. > :04:41.for what they see as Donald Trump doing what he promised to do during
:04:42. > :04:45.the campaign, to stop people from mainly Muslim countries coming into
:04:46. > :04:50.the country. How did we can's events look to use in London? I was picking
:04:51. > :04:55.up on the papers over the week and I just want to show viewers what the
:04:56. > :05:01.papers have been looking at, the New York Times. The headline speaks for
:05:02. > :05:06.itself. Maybe you and Nick could give us a view on this. Because the
:05:07. > :05:10.perception is from the papers I have read, this very small team around
:05:11. > :05:13.the President, in the view of the media, the perception is nine tenths
:05:14. > :05:19.of the law, they are getting it wrong. Well, all administration have
:05:20. > :05:25.turf battles when they first come into office. All the West Wing staff
:05:26. > :05:29.are trying to get the influence of the Oval Office. It is different in
:05:30. > :05:33.this instance because these battles are being fought very angrily and
:05:34. > :05:37.very publicly on the front pages of some of the nation's most
:05:38. > :05:40.influential papers, like the Washington Post and the New York
:05:41. > :05:44.Times. One person in particular is attracting a lot of attention, the
:05:45. > :05:48.chief strategist at the White House, Steve Bannon, very controversial
:05:49. > :05:51.figure, seeing as a very right-wing figure who has the ear of the
:05:52. > :05:54.President. He was seen to be one of the key authors of the executive
:05:55. > :05:58.order, who wanted to rush things through. He has spoken about doing
:05:59. > :06:01.very big things very quickly. But over the weekend, there was an
:06:02. > :06:05.indication that Donald Trump is trying to slow down this
:06:06. > :06:09.policy-making machinery hand to give more control to the person in the
:06:10. > :06:15.West Wing who ordinarily is the kind of chief enforcer for the President,
:06:16. > :06:19.the chief of staff, Reince Priebus. It also seems President Trump wants
:06:20. > :06:23.to have more of an influence earlier on in the executive order drafting
:06:24. > :06:26.himself. It seems in this instance he was presented with a document
:06:27. > :06:30.that he signed with a flourish of his pen and have not given it the
:06:31. > :06:36.attention that perhaps he would have wanted. So make you are a historian
:06:37. > :06:38.who has studied American history and political history and you know more
:06:39. > :06:44.about this than I do, but it seems to me that we are at a moment where
:06:45. > :06:47.something new is being tested, and that is the ability of these
:06:48. > :06:51.populist movements together. If we see this as the beginning of that
:06:52. > :06:56.process, and the question about this White House is, you have Steve
:06:57. > :06:59.Bannon, who is by nature a disrupter, an insurgent, can you
:07:00. > :07:04.marry that with more traditional governing processes? We have
:07:05. > :07:07.somebody like Reince Priebus, who is trying to put in position systems to
:07:08. > :07:11.make sure executive orders are vetted before they leave the White
:07:12. > :07:16.House, does that take some of the disruption out of it? This is the
:07:17. > :07:20.power struggle that at the moment is playing out within the West Wing.
:07:21. > :07:24.Steve Bannon has made no apologies, he is coming to Washington to
:07:25. > :07:29.figuratively blow this place up, that is what he believes that Donald
:07:30. > :07:34.Trump's mandate is from the voters, do not act like a normal politician
:07:35. > :07:37.or a normal President, to defy those conventions. And Donald Trump has
:07:38. > :07:41.been doing that with the hurtling pace of the administration so far.
:07:42. > :07:45.But you get the sense that the President himself want to put the
:07:46. > :07:48.brakes on a little and to give more authority to somebody who is more of
:07:49. > :07:56.an establishment figure. Reince Priebus was the head of the GOP, a
:07:57. > :07:59.Washington insider, and the tension between those two people, Bannon on
:08:00. > :08:03.the one side and Priebus on the other, will be interesting to watch
:08:04. > :08:06.and it will be interesting particularly because it might define
:08:07. > :08:11.the nature of the Trump administration and the nature of
:08:12. > :08:15.governance in this new era. Nick Bryant, thank you very much. We are
:08:16. > :08:23.watching all this play out in real-time on the front papers --
:08:24. > :08:26.front pages. Let's get more about where we are on this trouble ban. --
:08:27. > :08:27.travel. With us is now is Doni Gerwitzmann
:08:28. > :08:30.from New York Law School - he's an expert in
:08:31. > :08:38.constitutional law and theory. Where does the President stand, and
:08:39. > :08:44.the White House stand, on the legality of this right now? So, the
:08:45. > :08:48.President has defended the ban by pointing at something by the plenary
:08:49. > :08:53.power doctrine, it is a law that this agreement court has set up
:08:54. > :08:55.giving the US Government wide discretion and authority to
:08:56. > :09:00.determine who can enter the country. In addition, the President is
:09:01. > :09:03.relying on the provision of the immigration and nationality act,
:09:04. > :09:09.where Congress delegated power to the President to deny that any alien
:09:10. > :09:15.or class of aliens the ability to enter the country if the President
:09:16. > :09:18.believes they are detrimental to the national interest. So, in about four
:09:19. > :09:23.hours' time, the Justice Department has to go back to the appeals court,
:09:24. > :09:29.making its case for this suspension of the ban to be lifted. How can the
:09:30. > :09:35.Justice Department argued against the appeals court, which is saying,
:09:36. > :09:40.and the judge in Seattle saying that actually, if we reinstate the ban it
:09:41. > :09:44.will cause chaos? The Justice Department I think will argue among
:09:45. > :09:48.other things that non-residents located out of the United States do
:09:49. > :09:52.not really have rights under the Constitution. They will argue for a
:09:53. > :09:58.very strong vision of executive power and a very strong vision of
:09:59. > :10:01.the power of the United States Government in the area of
:10:02. > :10:05.immigration. They will argue that the immigration law is different in
:10:06. > :10:10.that the US Government can do things to non-residents located outside the
:10:11. > :10:14.US, that it cannot do to American citizens. When you have one party
:10:15. > :10:21.that controls the White House and one that controls the Senate and the
:10:22. > :10:23.idea of those who favoured the Constitution was that the court
:10:24. > :10:26.would be there to provide checks and balances and it seems that in
:10:27. > :10:33.attacking the judge, the President is undermining the hostage usual
:10:34. > :10:36.system. Without question. -- the constitutional system. There are a
:10:37. > :10:40.number of emergency brakes that framers put into the system to
:10:41. > :10:45.prevent the Executive becoming a tyrant, doing whatever he wants. One
:10:46. > :10:49.major emergency brake is Congress, which can always operate to check
:10:50. > :10:52.the President. In a situation where Congress and the President come from
:10:53. > :10:56.the same political party, it might be that we will need to rely on the
:10:57. > :11:00.courts to play a much more aggressive role in telling the
:11:01. > :11:03.President Noel. I do not think President Trump did himself any
:11:04. > :11:07.favours by personally going after the judge in Washington over this
:11:08. > :11:12.decision. If anything, I think it may have cost the judiciary to be
:11:13. > :11:15.more aggressive in checking him. So you know judges, you spend all your
:11:16. > :11:21.time with them, I will assume that if President Trump calls a member of
:11:22. > :11:24.the judiciary eight so-called judge, that is then going to lead other
:11:25. > :11:32.judges and potentially even Supreme Court justices to side with the
:11:33. > :11:35.judiciary, do you think? Judges are professionals and they will issue
:11:36. > :11:39.decisions based on the law. I do think the personal attacks Trump has
:11:40. > :11:45.made members of the judiciary sort of change the atmospherics
:11:46. > :11:48.surrounded the executive order. The issue of judicial independence and
:11:49. > :11:52.the ability of the judiciary to act as a check on the President really
:11:53. > :11:56.moves front and centre won the President goes directly after a
:11:57. > :12:00.federal judge. -- when the President. This is complicated, so
:12:01. > :12:02.thank you for unpacking all of that! And one other update -
:12:03. > :12:04.Apple, Facebook and Microsoft are among 97 American tech
:12:05. > :12:06.companies to challenge The group has filed a legal
:12:07. > :12:12.document stating the ban affects operations
:12:13. > :12:14.and, in their words, "inflicts significant harm"
:12:15. > :12:18.on business. The document was filed
:12:19. > :12:25.in Washington on Sunday. We have also been taking a look at
:12:26. > :12:32.the President's tweets. He's been tweeting again,
:12:33. > :12:34.early morning, his time, about what he perceives
:12:35. > :13:12.as fake news. But it is begging questions, this,
:13:13. > :13:16.about his temperament, because we are getting used to him firing from
:13:17. > :13:20.the hip, and some of them, we can ignore but some of them seem a
:13:21. > :13:23.little bit petty. Some of these attacks against the
:13:24. > :13:28.fake news is entirely political and you wonder whether it is not
:13:29. > :13:30.symbiotic as well because Donald Trump is calling journalists from
:13:31. > :13:34.what he calls those fake news organisations on a very regular
:13:35. > :13:37.basis. He speaks to the main White House reporter from the New York
:13:38. > :13:41.Times and the Washington Post and even speaks to CNN, which he also
:13:42. > :13:46.calls fake news once or twice a week! And by the way, fantastic for
:13:47. > :13:51.their ratings, the New York Times's subscription doc-mac the failing New
:13:52. > :13:55.York Times are doing particularly well!
:13:56. > :13:59.I think the question here that is a more serious question is, what
:14:00. > :14:05.happens if Donald Trump is attacked by somebody more powerful than a
:14:06. > :14:09.news organisation, somebody for example with access to military
:14:10. > :14:17.weapons or even, God forbid, nuclear weapons?
:14:18. > :14:23.If he says something on Twitter, other countries will say, that is
:14:24. > :14:26.his view and we need to react. If it is China or North Korea, how
:14:27. > :14:32.will he respond? It is a thing that worries countries
:14:33. > :14:34.away from the US, let me tell you. There are other leaders watching
:14:35. > :14:38.these tweets very closely. Here in the UK, the Speaker
:14:39. > :14:40.in the House of Commons, John Bercow, has said he would not
:14:41. > :14:43.wish President Trump The Speaker told the Commons
:14:44. > :14:54.the President's views on immigrants It looks like he has overstepped his
:14:55. > :15:05.mark. I would not wish to issue an
:15:06. > :15:11.invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery. I
:15:12. > :15:18.conclude by saying to the honourable gentleman this. We value our
:15:19. > :15:24.relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that
:15:25. > :15:30.is way beyond and above the pay grade of the Speaker! However, as
:15:31. > :15:39.far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our
:15:40. > :15:48.opposition to racism and sexism, and our support for a quality for the
:15:49. > :15:50.law, and an independent judiciary, are hugely important considerations
:15:51. > :15:50.in the House of Commons. APPLAUSE
:15:51. > :15:52.. Let's go live now
:15:53. > :15:54.to Westminster in London and speak to our political
:15:55. > :16:03.correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. You had better start for our
:16:04. > :16:08.international viewers, just setting out who John Bercow is. The Prime
:16:09. > :16:12.Minister has made it clear she wants the state visit to go ahead so, does
:16:13. > :16:18.he have it within his power to stop him addressing Parliament? Everyone
:16:19. > :16:24.has been taken by surprise, even politicians who are in the House of
:16:25. > :16:27.Commons as the Speaker stood up. The Speaker of the House of Commons is
:16:28. > :16:30.basically like a referee in the House of Commons. They are in charge
:16:31. > :16:37.of MPs when they are in the House of Commons and therefore, they are in a
:16:38. > :16:40.neutral position. That is why this is so unprecedented and it really is
:16:41. > :16:45.a sort of dramatic snub, if you like. He attacks the President has
:16:46. > :16:50.effectively being racist and sexist and for having a lack of respect for
:16:51. > :16:54.judges. There were even Cheers, as we heard, when he made the comments
:16:55. > :16:57.in the House of Commons. We know there has been this growing
:16:58. > :17:03.opposition to the planned state visit later this year, more than 1.8
:17:04. > :17:07.million people have signed a petition outside Parliament, so
:17:08. > :17:11.there will be MPs in the House and also people among the public who
:17:12. > :17:15.will be pleased that John Bercow, the Speaker, has been so outspoken,
:17:16. > :17:19.but his critics will say he has overstepped the mark and gone too
:17:20. > :17:23.far. We were talking last week about some of the pools surrounding the
:17:24. > :17:25.state visit and plenty of people here in Britain are keen for it to
:17:26. > :17:30.go ahead and they might also make the point that if you look at the
:17:31. > :17:34.list of people who have come here, that he has hosted in the
:17:35. > :17:37.Parliament, they include the President of China, the Emir of Q8,
:17:38. > :17:42.they are hardly paragons of virtue and some of them. And I think that
:17:43. > :17:52.is why this has been such a surprise to everyone, and so unprecedented.
:17:53. > :17:56.And we have had the likes of Mandela, that is why people have
:17:57. > :18:00.been taken by surprise but the key thing is, John Bercow is one of
:18:01. > :18:04.three people who have the keys to handing out the invitations to the
:18:05. > :18:09.great and good to come and speak here in Parliament, and because he
:18:10. > :18:12.has said he does not want President Trump to come, he has basically
:18:13. > :18:16.vetoed any chance for President Trump to come and speak here. So
:18:17. > :18:21.that means that if something cannot really go ahead, because the Prime
:18:22. > :18:24.Minister, and wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall in Downing
:18:25. > :18:27.Street tonight, she does not have the power over the Speaker's
:18:28. > :18:30.decision-making on this issue. So it is not up to the Prime Minister and
:18:31. > :18:35.we can imagine that people in Downing Street this evening will not
:18:36. > :18:39.be happy that John Bercow has been so outspoken after all that
:18:40. > :18:44.extremely public wooing that we have seen, that huge presidential, the
:18:45. > :18:49.huge visit Theresa May just a couple of weeks ago, where she has publicly
:18:50. > :18:52.tried to, you know, work hard on that new special relationship. So
:18:53. > :18:55.Downing Street will not be pleased at all. What a tightrope she has to
:18:56. > :19:09.walk. It was Super Bowl weekend
:19:10. > :19:12.here and the Patriots' stunning, last-minute victory isn't the only
:19:13. > :19:14.thing people are talking about. To mark the occasion,
:19:15. > :19:16.President Trump gave an interview to Bill O'Reilly of Fox News,
:19:17. > :19:19.which was broadcast as part And in it, he sparked some
:19:20. > :19:22.controversy by defending He was also asked how well
:19:23. > :19:26.he thought the travel restrictions and the vetting of refugees entering
:19:27. > :19:32.the US had been implemented, I think it was very smooth, you had
:19:33. > :19:35.109 people out of hundreds of thousands of travellers and all we
:19:36. > :19:41.did was vet those people very, very carefully. You would not do anything
:19:42. > :19:45.differently? A lot of people didn't really know what the order was. But
:19:46. > :19:52.is not what General Kelly says. He said he totally new, he was aware of
:19:53. > :19:56.it, and there were 109 people. Putin is a killer. We have got a lot of
:19:57. > :20:03.killers. You think our country is so innocent? I do not know of any
:20:04. > :20:07.government leaders who are killers. Take a look at what we have done,
:20:08. > :20:12.made a lot of mistakes, I was against the war in Iraq. Our
:20:13. > :20:14.mistakes are different. But a lot of people were killed, a lot of killers
:20:15. > :20:14.around. Since that interview aired,
:20:15. > :20:17.Mr Trump has been criticised Now the Kremlin has weighed in,
:20:18. > :20:20.calling for Fox News to apologise for calling
:20:21. > :20:23.the Russian President a "killer". Putin's spokesman,
:20:24. > :20:42.Dmitry Peskov, told journalists: With me is Brigadier-General
:20:43. > :20:44.Mark Kimmitt, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary
:20:45. > :20:46.of Defense for Middle East Policy under Defense Secretaries
:20:47. > :21:01.Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates. Thank you for coming in. Let's start
:21:02. > :21:05.with Russia. And the spat that arose because of the interview that
:21:06. > :21:12.President Trump gave the Fox News. Is there anyway that the White
:21:13. > :21:15.House, that the President can suggest that America and Russia are
:21:16. > :21:20.the same level when it comes to this issue? No well, let us be clear,
:21:21. > :21:24.there has not been a President since the end of the Cold War that has not
:21:25. > :21:31.started the administration by saying, let's do a reset. George
:21:32. > :21:36.Bush famously said, I looked into his eyes. So it is another President
:21:37. > :21:41.who has clearly said, let's try to re-establish the relationship with
:21:42. > :21:45.Russia and move forward. But to put a moral equivalence between
:21:46. > :21:48.President Putin and the United States, are you comfortable with
:21:49. > :21:52.that? Not really, do not think anyone wants to point a finger at
:21:53. > :21:58.the country. Factually, there are some situations where Donald Trump
:21:59. > :22:02.may have a point, but I think emotionally, no country wants to
:22:03. > :22:08.have their fingers pointed in their eyes. How can you account for the
:22:09. > :22:14.President's reluctance to criticise Vladimir Putin? I cannot. But at the
:22:15. > :22:19.same time I think he would have a reluctance to criticise the Chinese
:22:20. > :22:24.Premier. A number of world leaders that he would be... He has been more
:22:25. > :22:29.critical of China than he has of Russia. Not to the extent that he
:22:30. > :22:32.has were some of us would believe that China is a far greater threat
:22:33. > :22:36.than Russia at this point. We could debate this all day. I think it
:22:37. > :22:43.really goes to the point that he is trying to reset the relationship
:22:44. > :22:46.with Russia and move forward. I was hoping you might put your former
:22:47. > :22:49.State Department hat on and talk to us about Iran because the British
:22:50. > :22:52.Prime Minister is hosting the Israeli Prime Minister today and by
:22:53. > :22:56.all accounts, she is saying, the Iran deal is not perfect but it is
:22:57. > :23:01.the best option we have on the table at the moment. Would you agree? I
:23:02. > :23:05.think so, Andy, administration has been very clear, at this point they
:23:06. > :23:09.are not looking at tossing of the agreement. -- and the
:23:10. > :23:12.administration. There have been situations in the past few months
:23:13. > :23:16.where the Iranians have flagrantly violated the terms of the agreement
:23:17. > :23:21.and what the top administration is saying is, we will draw a red line
:23:22. > :23:26.on this, and if the Iranians are unwilling to adhere to it, we will
:23:27. > :23:31.look into it. But there is an election coming up in Iran and the
:23:32. > :23:35.concern is in Europe that the President might be undermining the
:23:36. > :23:38.more moderate forces. Well, I think they are doing a pretty good job
:23:39. > :23:43.themselves of undermining the moderate forces by launching a
:23:44. > :23:48.ballistic missile into the Persian Gulf and off the coast of Yemen. OK,
:23:49. > :23:52.I want to ask you about some the President has just said at CentCom,
:23:53. > :23:56.that seemed to be a reinforcement of Nato. He said, I strongly support
:23:57. > :24:04.Nader, I just want European countries to say more. -- Nato. I
:24:05. > :24:08.imagine that something you are relieved to hear. I am, and the
:24:09. > :24:15.burden sharing has been going on since 1947. It is one that every
:24:16. > :24:19.President has made. So at least he has moved from the position of that
:24:20. > :24:23.it is an outdated institution, to one that does have a value, but
:24:24. > :24:26.people need to come to the table and pay their 2% of GDP. Thank you very
:24:27. > :24:29.much for joining us. Well, back here in Washington,
:24:30. > :24:32.we look set for a close vote coming in the Senate tomorrow,
:24:33. > :24:34.with members still divided on whether to approve
:24:35. > :24:36.Mr Trump's controversial pick The billionaire and GOP donor
:24:37. > :24:40.Betsy DeVos is facing criticism from the labour unions
:24:41. > :24:41.and the teaching organisations. Two Republicans say they will side
:24:42. > :24:44.with Democrats in the vote - if there's one more defector,
:24:45. > :24:47.Mrs DeVos would not Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch,
:24:48. > :24:54.heads to Capitol Hill later to try and win over the Democrats
:24:55. > :24:56.who will be involved in his Mr Gorsuch is due to meet
:24:57. > :25:01.with Senator Diane Feinstein. She's the highest-ranking Democrat
:25:02. > :25:03.on the Judiciary Committee and will lead the party
:25:04. > :25:20.during confirmation hearings. By the way, the Democrats, I was
:25:21. > :25:22.speaking to a senior Democrat, and she was saying this is something the
:25:23. > :25:26.Democrats are really going to fight but they do feel that Neil Gorsuch
:25:27. > :25:30.is very Conservative and they have decided to make this a battle they
:25:31. > :25:32.are going to have. He is doing to be doing a lot of
:25:33. > :25:35.work in the next few months. You're watching
:25:36. > :25:36.100 Days from BBC News. Still to come for viewers on the BBC
:25:37. > :25:40.News Channel and BBC World News... A big part of Donald Trump's
:25:41. > :25:42.pitch to American voters was the pledge to create jobs,
:25:43. > :25:45.a message which resonated Now he is President,
:25:46. > :26:09.how will he deliver on the promise The weather is pretty horrible in
:26:10. > :26:17.some parts of the country. We have got heavy rain and strong winds.
:26:18. > :26:22.Blowing a gale in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Gusts of wind
:26:23. > :26:25.approaching 70 miles an hour that a 70 mph, although to this massive
:26:26. > :26:31.area of low pressure. The centre is out in the North Atlantic. This is
:26:32. > :26:35.the front that is extending across us and look at the weather we have
:26:36. > :26:37.across northern parts of the UK. Some of those upper-level routes
:26:38. > :26:43.getting a covering through this evening. This is just a selection of
:26:44. > :26:48.some of the gusts of wind we will experience through the course of
:26:49. > :26:51.this evening. Further South, not so bad but it is soggy and it will get
:26:52. > :26:55.wetter and wetter particularly across eastern areas. We have a
:26:56. > :26:59.heavier rain in the West early on and now that front is pushing East.
:27:00. > :27:02.There will be some ice around as well particularly across the more
:27:03. > :27:08.northern areas, especially around Scotland later on tonight. Let's
:27:09. > :27:13.have a look at tomorrow morning. There is a chance of a little bit
:27:14. > :27:16.more rain in south-western areas, especially in the afternoon, but
:27:17. > :27:19.even in the morning, you can see the rain here, some of these showers
:27:20. > :27:23.will be quite heavy eventually. But for the most part, I think the
:27:24. > :27:27.morning of across the bulk of England and Wales is looking dry.
:27:28. > :27:31.Dry also in Northern Ireland, but these Eastern counties remain cloudy
:27:32. > :27:36.and wet, it will still be windy there in the North East of Scotland.
:27:37. > :27:40.So that is the morning, let's see what happens in the afternoon. Not
:27:41. > :27:44.an awful lot with this weather front, it just sticks around and
:27:45. > :27:48.grinds to a halt, it literally stops in this position here, and it is not
:27:49. > :27:53.planning to move any further East. It will just sort of rain itself
:27:54. > :27:59.out. The rest of the UK, some sunshine and again, these showers
:28:00. > :28:03.could be hail or thunder. So a mix of weather on Tuesday in some
:28:04. > :28:08.south-western areas. Wednesday, the weather calms down. This high
:28:09. > :28:12.pressure from Scandinavia sends easterly winds on our direction.
:28:13. > :28:16.These blobs of blue, still that same front dying away but it should rain
:28:17. > :28:19.itself out by Wednesday. Then a fair bit of cloud and the temperatures
:28:20. > :28:22.are dropping stock towards the end of the week, a cold easterly wind
:28:23. > :30:07.and the chance of snow flurries. Welcome back to 100 Days
:30:08. > :30:09.with Katty Kay in Washington, President Trump gives his first
:30:10. > :30:14.direct address to the US Armed Forces since becoming
:30:15. > :30:19.their Commander-in-Chief, saying he strongly supports Nato
:30:20. > :30:21.but wants all Nato members He promised to breathe new life
:30:22. > :30:30.into US labour markets but how We'll speak to a key
:30:31. > :30:34.economic advisor to Egypt is the most
:30:35. > :30:43.populous Arab country - and a long time ally
:30:44. > :30:47.for the United States. Some in the region reacted angrily
:30:48. > :30:52.to the travel restrictions that currently bar Muslims
:30:53. > :30:54.from travelling to the US - but you won't hear much condemnation
:30:55. > :30:57.from the Egyptian government. The authoritarian President,
:30:58. > :30:58.Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, was one of the first Arab leaders
:30:59. > :31:01.to congratulate Mr Trump President Trump said his Egyptian
:31:02. > :31:07.counterpart was "a fantastic guy". Orla Guerin reports from Cairo
:31:08. > :31:13.on a peculiar alliance. A first meeting and apparently the
:31:14. > :31:18.beginning of a beautiful friendship. Egypt's strongman leader
:31:19. > :31:20.Abdel Fattah Al Sisi sat with Donald Trump
:31:21. > :31:23.when he was still They had good chemistry,
:31:24. > :31:29.Mr Trump said. Hardly surprising when you
:31:30. > :31:33.spot the similarities. The red ties, the hand gestures,
:31:34. > :31:39.and the hard-line stance. So the regime in Cairo expects fresh
:31:40. > :31:44.momentum in relations with the US. Though other Arab states
:31:45. > :31:49.are facing new roadblocks. Elsewhere in the region
:31:50. > :31:51.there are serious concerns But for president Sisi and his
:31:52. > :31:58.supporters he is a welcome change. The two leaders speak the same
:31:59. > :32:01.language about defeating Islamic extremism and there is common ground
:32:02. > :32:06.in another area, neither has much to say about the need
:32:07. > :32:12.to safeguard human rights. Critics fear President Trump
:32:13. > :32:14.will push the region And play into the hands
:32:15. > :32:20.of extremists. This liberal activist
:32:21. > :32:22.says his travel ban, He is antagonising the majority,
:32:23. > :32:31.nearly all Muslims worldwide. And that is exactly what Daesh
:32:32. > :32:34.and other extremists and terrorists groups want to do,
:32:35. > :32:37.push towards a confrontation and send the message
:32:38. > :32:39.that the two religions, the two civilisations,
:32:40. > :32:45.cannot coexist. President Obama, centre stage
:32:46. > :32:55.in 2009 with a seminal speech I come here to Cairo
:32:56. > :33:06.to seek a new beginning between the United States
:33:07. > :33:09.and Muslims around the world. One based on mutual interests
:33:10. > :33:15.and mutual respect. In the great Hall of
:33:16. > :33:17.Cairo University which echoed to the soaring rhetoric,
:33:18. > :33:20.we sat down with two of those They said President Obama did not
:33:21. > :33:27.deliver what he promised and his successor is off
:33:28. > :33:32.to a bad start. There is concern here in the region
:33:33. > :33:36.particularly from Muslims from the seven Muslim majority
:33:37. > :33:39.countries that were banned and also other countries that might be
:33:40. > :33:43.included in the ban as well. I think we are all just
:33:44. > :33:46.trying to brace ourselves And we will all just
:33:47. > :33:57.watch carefully. Look at the US Constitution
:33:58. > :34:03.and stick to the American values of freedom and democracy
:34:04. > :34:05.because what you're doing is very dangerous not only
:34:06. > :34:07.to the United States If he came to speak in this hall
:34:08. > :34:20.would you want to listen, The Egyptian leader on the other
:34:21. > :34:24.hand is eagerly awaiting the red-carpet treatment
:34:25. > :34:26.at the White House, something But he and President Trump
:34:27. > :34:33.are marching in step, whatever the cost to democratic
:34:34. > :34:54.values in the region. You are having a trip down memory
:34:55. > :35:00.lane because in 2009 when President Obama gave that speech in Cairo you
:35:01. > :35:05.were our correspondent in Egypt. If we think the Obama administration
:35:06. > :35:13.might, what will President Trump do? might, what will President Trump do?
:35:14. > :35:17.I was there and it was one of his first big foreign policy speeches
:35:18. > :35:22.and did a lot in terms of healing after the Iraq War. He spoke about
:35:23. > :35:28.freedom and democracy and of course two years later he embraced the Arab
:35:29. > :35:31.Spring. Against the wishes of secretary of state Hillary Clinton
:35:32. > :35:36.who was much more circumspect about it. She could see when President
:35:37. > :35:40.Mubarak was gone but was only the Muslim brotherhood and Mohammed
:35:41. > :35:45.Morsi. Morsi was then deposed and then in came this new strongman,
:35:46. > :35:53.President Sisi. America learnt a lesson from that but it Egypt is to
:35:54. > :35:55.peace and security in the East. You cannot apply shock therapy to
:35:56. > :35:59.country like Egypt without the more country like Egypt without the more
:36:00. > :36:01.considered plan so many people will be hopping when Donald Trump looks
:36:02. > :36:07.towards Egypt he goes back to what they were doing at the end of the
:36:08. > :36:08.Mubarak era, exchanging money and aid for Democratic and political
:36:09. > :36:15.reform. A big part of Donald Trump's
:36:16. > :36:18.pitch to American voters was the pledge to create jobs -
:36:19. > :36:27.a message which resonated Mr Trump said that if
:36:28. > :36:32.he became President, Our business correspondent
:36:33. > :36:48.Michelle Fleury is at He is going to shift from service to
:36:49. > :36:52.manufacturing jobs? That has been his message, trying to bring back
:36:53. > :36:58.those manufacturing jobs. I was going to the numbers to try to
:36:59. > :37:02.figure out whether it is possible to bring back 25 million jobs in the
:37:03. > :37:05.next decade. It seems the tall order. Looking back I could not find
:37:06. > :37:11.a period in recent US history when there had been a 10-year street when
:37:12. > :37:17.that many jobs have been created. Perhaps the closest was in the
:37:18. > :37:20.Clinton era in the late 1990s. Another way to look at it is that
:37:21. > :37:27.the American companies would have to add about 208,000 jobs every month
:37:28. > :37:32.for the next ten years to try to achieve that goal. Worth pointing
:37:33. > :37:40.out what exactly is the Labour picture about Donald Trump is
:37:41. > :37:44.inheriting. Take a look at this. In January we had the employment report
:37:45. > :37:48.released last Friday, with some good news for Donald Trump showing that
:37:49. > :37:55.the unemployment rate was 4.8%. That is close to full employment. The
:37:56. > :38:02.number of people actually employed rose by 227,000 per month, putting
:38:03. > :38:07.the figure ahead of that 208,000 per month goal already. The question is,
:38:08. > :38:10.Donald Trump has questioned the reliability of the unemployment
:38:11. > :38:15.figures and so there is another figure I want to show you which
:38:16. > :38:18.perhaps he could like. It supports the theory that there is plenty of
:38:19. > :38:24.room for improvement in the economy and that is the labour participation
:38:25. > :38:29.rate for men aged between 25 and 54. People who are either working or
:38:30. > :38:36.actively seeking work. As we can see it is falling, and has been for more
:38:37. > :38:39.six of these men are either six of these men are either
:38:40. > :38:44.unemployed or out of the workforce altogether. The total is about 10
:38:45. > :38:50.million men and so the challenge is how to get these people back to
:38:51. > :38:53.work. These forgotten men. It is a problem that previous presidents
:38:54. > :38:57.have failed to address. The question is with Hill 's policies on
:38:58. > :39:02.deregulation, taxation, immigration, how will that help the economy.
:39:03. > :39:04.Diana Furchgott-Roth was economic adviser to the Trump Transition team
:39:05. > :39:07.she is also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
:39:08. > :39:21.What are the chances do you think that Donald Trump can do what he
:39:22. > :39:26.says especially in the manufacturing sector and bring back jobs to the US
:39:27. > :39:32.given what we saw in the jobs report last week, that many jobs are coming
:39:33. > :39:39.back but in the service sector? Was he manages to lower the corporate
:39:40. > :39:42.tax rate to 15% or 20% as Congress has proposed, and move the tax
:39:43. > :39:48.system to a territorial tax system rather than tax on companies on the
:39:49. > :39:53.worldwide income, then the discrepancy in the tax regimes will
:39:54. > :40:00.disappear and more companies will come back. Right now the American
:40:01. > :40:09.corporate tax is up 39%, way above the UK tax rate of 20% and the OECD
:40:10. > :40:12.average of 25%. That is one of the factors and the other is
:40:13. > :40:18.executive order on that. But he has executive order on that. But he has
:40:19. > :40:24.not finished, he has only signed executive order is on one relatively
:40:25. > :40:29.small regulation, there is a lot more the individual agencies can do
:40:30. > :40:34.as soon as the Cabinet secretaries are confirmed. And the markets and
:40:35. > :40:39.businesses are happy about deregulation and about revising the
:40:40. > :40:43.corporate tax rate. Less happy about the possibility of protectionism in
:40:44. > :40:49.the US. How do we waive these two sides up? It is not clear that
:40:50. > :40:55.there's going to be protectionism because Donald Trump has taken a
:40:56. > :40:59.strong stand against the theft of intellectual property that some of
:41:00. > :41:04.our competitors are doing. And when that has gone away I do not think
:41:05. > :41:08.there is going to be a need for protectionism. He wants fair trade,
:41:09. > :41:12.not the theft of intellectual property. And I think we can have
:41:13. > :41:17.more trade and fair trade that will be a benefit to American companies.
:41:18. > :41:23.For example... They do not like the idea of terrorist that those
:41:24. > :41:27.concerned they do not like the idea of tariffs, foreign countries do not
:41:28. > :41:32.like the idea of terror is either and they could stop some
:41:33. > :41:36.intellectual property thefts such as falls Apple stores in Beijing that
:41:37. > :41:42.are so realistic even the employees think there working for Apple. No
:41:43. > :41:47.one has tried to stop that before President Trump. He is going to try
:41:48. > :41:52.to stop that now. Talking about reducing corporate tax rates,
:41:53. > :41:59.Congress set a debt ceiling which almost doubled to $20 trillion under
:42:00. > :42:03.President Obama. If he starts to cut taxes and build more infrastructure,
:42:04. > :42:09.the debt ceiling is going to go up even higher? That is not necessarily
:42:10. > :42:15.true because a lower corporate tax rate can result in an influx of cash
:42:16. > :42:19.back to the United States. Multinational companies are holding
:42:20. > :42:25.over $2 trillion in earnings overseas. That would be a tremendous
:42:26. > :42:31.stimulus if even 25% of that came back and was invested in the United
:42:32. > :42:34.States in enterprises that then create tax revenue. And there are
:42:35. > :42:43.many opportunities for growth that would then achieve tax revenue.
:42:44. > :42:49.Thank you very much. That is going to be a very interesting story. Much
:42:50. > :42:51.of his popularity is going to depend on getting those jobs back.
:42:52. > :42:54.That's 100 Days for today - I'll be on Facebook live
:42:55. > :42:56.with Rajini Vaidyanathan straight after the show.
:42:57. > :42:59.And we'll be back at the same time tomorrow, be good
