:03:05. > :03:10.having DACA and they're gang members and they're
:03:11. > :03:13.drug dealers, too. But you have some absolutely,
:03:14. > :03:19.incredible kids, I would say mostly. They were brought
:03:20. > :03:21.here in such a way... We're going to deal
:03:22. > :03:38.with DACA, with heart. Donald Trump speaking about the law
:03:39. > :03:43.that affects Dreamers,. I'm joined by Ron Christie.
:03:44. > :03:53.How different is this change for US law? You are talking about the most
:03:54. > :03:56.sweeping rewrite of the American immigration law since 1886. Were
:03:57. > :04:00.looking for a new proposal from the Trump administration saying that
:04:01. > :04:04.even if you are convicted of a minor offence you can be sent back to your
:04:05. > :04:07.country of origin and if you are under suspicion of having committed
:04:08. > :04:12.something. That something our Congress will have a look at to see
:04:13. > :04:18.whether you can affect thousands -- millions of people. Presumably,
:04:19. > :04:22.anybody who is here illegally is already committing an offence. Could
:04:23. > :04:31.not anybody who is here illegally, the sent home? Technicolor. We have
:04:32. > :04:36.a misdemeanour. -- technically, we have a misdemeanour here. But
:04:37. > :04:40.President Trump says that we can not merely deported for you being here,
:04:41. > :04:46.but if we suspect that you have committed another crime, you can be
:04:47. > :04:51.sent home. Ron, when this comes to Dreamers, this is about the American
:04:52. > :04:54.dream. You don't have much and you make good. A lot of people will be
:04:55. > :05:00.happy that they have been protected, but how will this play with his
:05:01. > :05:05.base? With his base, this will play very well. He said we are going to
:05:06. > :05:10.be a nation of being rules, law and order. The Trump Bay supporters will
:05:11. > :05:15.love this. But what will more moral moderate American thinking? What
:05:16. > :05:19.Democrats thinking? -- what will more moderate Americans think
:05:20. > :05:23.there's Mac is the president going to swiftly to say that just by you
:05:24. > :05:29.being here illegally, we will support you. If you get tough with
:05:30. > :05:35.these people, you will need more resources? That is exactly right.
:05:36. > :05:40.What you have heard from Sean Spicer and from the president himself is an
:05:41. > :05:44.indication that they want to beef up by thousands, border patrol agents
:05:45. > :05:47.in order not only to carry out this law, but it makes you wonder what
:05:48. > :05:53.else they have in mind that might go beyond this. Just to clarify what
:05:54. > :05:58.Christian was asking on the Dreamers, you were saying that
:05:59. > :06:04.people who supported Donald Trump in the election campaign and like the
:06:05. > :06:09.fact that he was going to throw at the children, will they be OK with
:06:10. > :06:12.that? I think they will give him a little slack. The children were
:06:13. > :06:19.brought here through no fault of their own, they have their school
:06:20. > :06:24.and their friend, are you going to supplant 100 --1 million children?
:06:25. > :06:26.It has been a bad few weeks for Jews in America.
:06:27. > :06:29.Since the beginning of the year some 50 bomb threats have been called
:06:30. > :06:31.in to Jewish community centres across the country.
:06:32. > :06:34.And yesterday over 100 Jewish graves were vandalised in this
:06:35. > :06:37.The headstones were in the cemetery's oldest section,
:06:38. > :06:40.some of these plots date back to the late 1800's.
:06:41. > :06:43.The attacks have been widely condemned.
:06:44. > :06:46.This morning Hillary Clinton tweeted urging everyone to speak out
:06:47. > :06:50.against anti-semitism, including the President.
:06:51. > :06:52.And a few hours ago, while touring the National Museum
:06:53. > :06:57.of African American History and Culture he did just that.
:06:58. > :07:02.This is a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry,
:07:03. > :07:13.intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forums.
:07:14. > :07:17.The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community
:07:18. > :07:20.and community centres are horrible and are painful and a very sad
:07:21. > :07:31.reminder of the work that still must be done to root out yet
:07:32. > :07:54.There has been a lot in the press about this rise in anti-Semitism?
:07:55. > :07:59.There are not any reliable statistics showing that there have
:08:00. > :08:03.been more and is a mystic threats since President Trump was
:08:04. > :08:09.inaugurated. It has been a bad few weeks but 2016 and 2015 were not
:08:10. > :08:19.good either. There's been a lot of attention paid to Alt right, but
:08:20. > :08:24.does that mean it is growing? We need to dig back into this and wait
:08:25. > :08:25.for the law authorities and the reset agencies to come up with real
:08:26. > :08:41.figures for this. And yet some people would say that
:08:42. > :08:44.the up aggressive policy on immigration has created an
:08:45. > :08:53.atmosphere which made it feel less safe? That could be but catty --
:08:54. > :08:58.your analysis is spot-on. Some people will say bad things, the
:08:59. > :09:03.Greystones in Missouri was a terrible act but I don't want to
:09:04. > :09:08.rush to judgment. -- gravestones. There are too many people who want
:09:09. > :09:11.to jump in and form conclusions before having the facts. The
:09:12. > :09:19.authorities will get to the bottom of this. A research group, a
:09:20. > :09:23.bipartisan group in the country, nonpartisan, had a poll out
:09:24. > :09:28.suggesting that in America, Jewish people are among the most admired
:09:29. > :09:31.and warmly felt towards of any of the religious groups. Do you think
:09:32. > :09:35.there is also a sense in which we have attacks like this in Europe as
:09:36. > :09:38.well, that there is some level of indifference and when we have them
:09:39. > :09:45.here, a lot of people talk about them? I think that is right. We
:09:46. > :09:48.normally find people in America go about their daily lives and Jewish
:09:49. > :09:55.people are treated well and with great respect. When you have a spate
:09:56. > :10:00.of attacks that you have seen like this, it dominates the headlines. We
:10:01. > :10:05.must not rush to judgment. Of course those who commit those crimes must
:10:06. > :10:06.be prosecuted. There has been other news going on in this city. Let's
:10:07. > :10:08.get some of that, too. The United States ambassador
:10:09. > :10:10.to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has told the Security Council that
:10:11. > :10:13.Nato is the "strongest alliance in history" and says

:10:16. > :10:18.conflicts in Europe, Haley vowed to make Nato more
:10:19. > :10:20.effective and said policy differences should not be seen
:10:21. > :10:23.as anything less than 'total China says it opposes action

:11:10. > :11:12.name was Ronald Fiddler, a 50-year old who was held
:11:13. > :11:18.in Guantanamo for two years. Donald Trump is preparing
:11:19. > :11:21.an executive order to lift a ban It's one issue the President has
:11:22. > :11:26.been clear and consistent on - he wants to cut regulations
:11:27. > :11:29.and bring back coal jobs. In fact, one of the first pieces
:11:30. > :11:31.of legislation he signed was to reverse a rule preventing
:11:32. > :11:34.coal waste from being But can he actually fulfil
:11:35. > :11:39.his campaign pledge - to revive the coal
:11:40. > :11:42.industry's fortunes? The BBC's Michelle Fleury
:11:43. > :11:57.has been finding out. This corner of West Virginia is coal
:11:58. > :12:02.country. After years of hardship, the people here are breathing a sigh
:12:03. > :12:08.of relief. At this mining repair company, Donald Trump's win has
:12:09. > :12:12.always hope of a call revival. With regard to the election, it was like
:12:13. > :12:18.we had won the Super Bowl. The confidence that we had in the future
:12:19. > :12:22.was just elevated. We had not seen that for quite a while. When Obama
:12:23. > :12:30.came into office, he said there was a war on coal. And she is not alone.
:12:31. > :12:37.I met a coal miner over coffee and cake. West Virginia has an
:12:38. > :12:42.opportunity now to stabilise and hopefully re-establish the coal
:12:43. > :12:49.industry. That optimism is tempered by realism when it comes to Trump's
:12:50. > :12:52.pledged to bring back old jobs. He can't do everything, and it is a
:12:53. > :12:59.promise. But I think Trump can cut back on regulation and I think he
:13:00. > :13:04.can get industry going again. The sense of optimism here is palpable
:13:05. > :13:08.and I have also noticed an increase in activity since the last time I
:13:09. > :13:12.visited the region. But while there is a new man in the White House, the
:13:13. > :13:22.economic realities facing the industry have not changed. This
:13:23. > :13:26.graph helps explain the whole -- cold's decline. It has suffered
:13:27. > :13:31.because of an explosion in natural gas production and growing, Tish and
:13:32. > :13:35.from renewables such as wind and solar energy. Scaling back
:13:36. > :13:38.environmental rules on the industry will not change this map. Not
:13:39. > :13:45.everyone is waiting for coal to come back. Jamie Adams is a former miner
:13:46. > :13:51.turned computer code. Would you go back to the coal industry? I
:13:52. > :13:56.probably wouldn't. The uncertainty, I mean having a job and worrying
:13:57. > :14:03.about whether you will have on the next day. I couldn't do that again.
:14:04. > :14:08.Back at the company, staff numbers are back to pre-crisis levels. We
:14:09. > :14:14.want to work. We don't want hand-outs. People here do not
:14:15. > :14:17.necessarily believe Donald Trump can save US coal. For them, it's about
:14:18. > :14:21.having somebody in the White House who will give the industry and the
:14:22. > :14:24.region a chance. So the coal miners of
:14:25. > :14:26.West Virginia are more upbeat. Mohamed El Erian is chief
:14:27. > :14:35.Economic Adviser with financial services company Allianz,
:14:36. > :14:51.also author of several best selling Thanks for joining us. Can Donald
:14:52. > :14:58.Trump bring back economic prosperity to coal mining areas? He can make a
:14:59. > :15:04.difference at the margin, but at the margin. There's nothing much you can
:15:05. > :15:08.do about the decline by 10% to 12% in the demand for coal or about the
:15:09. > :15:13.competition that the coal sector is getting from natural gas and
:15:14. > :15:16.renewables. The difference will not be transformational. Do you think
:15:17. > :15:21.that it is only at the marginals that he will make a difference and
:15:22. > :15:24.other manufacturing industries as well? If you look at the numbers,
:15:25. > :15:33.look at the whole coal industry in the user as a. At Trump -- in the
:15:34. > :15:42.US, add transportation, maybe get to 160,000. Every day, this economy
:15:43. > :15:47.created and destroyed in the $5 million range. It is marginal, but
:15:48. > :15:52.it is not level. It gives a signal, which is what is looking for. He has
:15:53. > :15:57.made a lot of promises about jobs, in heavy industries. Is it easy to
:15:58. > :16:07.do that when the dollar is so strong? No, he's going to have to
:16:08. > :16:14.deal with the enabling environment. He can't go industry by industry. It
:16:15. > :16:20.doesn't move the industry enough. Important things he talks about like
:16:21. > :16:23.infrastructure, tax reform, deregulation and avoiding things
:16:24. > :16:27.that will destroy jobs and protectionism is something that
:16:28. > :16:34.could destroy jobs. But markets move on hope and fear and right now the
:16:35. > :16:39.US stock market is soaring. It is over the 20,700 mark and it keeps
:16:40. > :16:44.rising. So there is a lot of optimism about. There is and that
:16:45. > :16:52.optimism comes from three distinct factors. One is the hope that the
:16:53. > :16:56.programme policy announcements of President Trump will translate into
:16:57. > :16:59.design and implementation, especially now that the Republicans
:17:00. > :17:07.have majorities in both houses of Congress. And the economic data is
:17:08. > :17:09.getting better around the world, Europe has better-than-expected
:17:10. > :17:14.data. Growth is picking up around the world and that helps markets.
:17:15. > :17:19.And finally, companies are putting cash back into the market. They are
:17:20. > :17:22.merging, they are acquiring. All these things together have been
:17:23. > :17:28.pushing stocks from record to record. So here is my question for
:17:29. > :17:33.you, all the economic side looking good and the financial markets are
:17:34. > :17:37.very happy, they love his promise of deregulation and tax cuts. At some
:17:38. > :17:46.point the president will have to deliver. But within get concerned --
:17:47. > :17:49.but do they not get concerned with stories about chaos in the
:17:50. > :17:55.administration, the White House and being able to run itself, does not
:17:56. > :17:59.matter? So far, it doesn't matter. The concept of political risk
:18:00. > :18:04.extends well beyond what happens in the US. It extends the Brexit, the
:18:05. > :18:08.French elections, the Dutch elections. But there is a simple
:18:09. > :18:13.reason why they are discounting it because that has worked in the past.
:18:14. > :18:16.Markets believe that the trend is your friend. And they see high
:18:17. > :18:33.economic growth, central banks still
:18:34. > :18:35.supporting markets. So far, the politics are being messy, but
:18:36. > :18:38.contains. I would price in a higher political risk, I would caution
:18:39. > :18:40.people to take more seriously what we are seeing, but markets by now
:18:41. > :18:43.are not. If Christian and I had money at our disposal, would you
:18:44. > :18:46.advise us at the moment to put it in the markets? No, I would tell you
:18:47. > :18:51.hold onto it, the markets have come very, very far very quickly. We have
:18:52. > :18:55.yet to see policy announcements translate into design and
:18:56. > :18:59.implementation. This is complicated and there are two major headwinds.
:19:00. > :19:03.One we have already talked about, politics, and the other was
:19:04. > :19:11.mentioned at the beginning, the dollar. As the dollar outperforms,
:19:12. > :19:13.and interest rates hikes, the dollar will strengthen and that will
:19:14. > :19:20.interact with the politics. I would not commit lots of money at this
:19:21. > :19:30.stage. It is interesting... Sago, Christian, free advice for you! Yes,
:19:31. > :19:36.I should bank. Breaking news, there has been a frank and candid
:19:37. > :19:43.conversation between the Treasury chief and Christine Lagarde. The
:19:44. > :19:49.tumblers racing clearly activated about what is going on in China. We
:19:50. > :19:54.are seeing two major departures. Firstly, who talks about the dollar
:19:55. > :19:59.and what they say. In the past, only the Treasury Secretary would comment
:20:00. > :20:03.on the dollar. In this immigration, the president, his advisers, they
:20:04. > :20:09.have been commenting. That is where different. Secondly, the only thing
:20:10. > :20:13.said in the past was that a strong dollar was injurious to the US. Now,
:20:14. > :20:20.we are getting different narratives coming out. This is a different
:20:21. > :20:24.approach towards the dollar. It is an attempt to talk the dollar weaker
:20:25. > :20:32.but that may work for a week or ten days, but it cannot overcome these
:20:33. > :20:41.stronger economic forces. Thank you very much. You can take a pot of
:20:42. > :20:48.gold and keep it under your mattress and not invested in markets. Because
:20:49. > :20:57.although the Dell has been euphoric, we could be in for a period of
:20:58. > :21:04.uncertainty. My pot of gold! My wife might be watching, she might say,
:21:05. > :21:07.where is it? Surely such aid lovely pink tie has a spot -- pot of gold
:21:08. > :21:15.underneath it. One of the reasons for doing this
:21:16. > :21:18.programme is to monitor the rise From Brexit, to Donald Trump
:21:19. > :21:21.and the French election - But we suspect you wouldn't put
:21:22. > :21:25.Canada in that basket. They have welcomed
:21:26. > :21:27.40,000 Syrian refugees - you'll remember the pictures of some
:21:28. > :21:29.of those families being welcomed at the airport
:21:30. > :21:32.by the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - but somewhat surprisingly, Canada
:21:33. > :21:47.does have its own populist movement. Kevin O'Leary is a shrewd venture
:21:48. > :21:52.capitalist... Kevin O'Leary is best known for his appearance on the
:21:53. > :21:56.reality show, shark tank. This excess for Canadian businessman is
:21:57. > :22:01.now trying his hand at something different, politics. Running for the
:22:02. > :22:08.leadership of Canada's Conservative Party. A businessman turned reality
:22:09. > :22:11.star but becoming a politician. Sound familiar? Kevin O'Leary is
:22:12. > :22:19.even being called Canada's Donald Trump. There is a similarity. But it
:22:20. > :22:24.is only one. We engaged in reality television for the same producer.
:22:25. > :22:32.That is where it ends. I'm half Lebanese, half Irish. If there was a
:22:33. > :22:38.wall around Canada, I wouldn't exist. His policies are not mine.
:22:39. > :22:44.Your former competitor on the reality show says you are just
:22:45. > :22:51.seeking fame and attention from this beard. How do you respond to that?
:22:52. > :22:55.People are tired of politicians spinning BS. They would like to hire
:22:56. > :23:01.an operator, somebody with execution of excellence, who puts -- with
:23:02. > :23:07.execution or excellence. Somebody with results. Use it to be aware of
:23:08. > :23:12.the populist wave moving through countries. Is that the wave carrying
:23:13. > :23:14.you through as well? I don't think this is a short-term phenomenon. I
:23:15. > :23:18.think the fact that we are saying think the fact that we are saying
:23:19. > :23:22.this happening around the world, for different reasons, but basically the
:23:23. > :23:27.Canadians have a choice now. Do you want another politician or would you
:23:28. > :23:36.prefer Kevin O'Leary? They are going to decide. I am not going to run
:23:37. > :23:40.business as usual. I was optimistic about Justin Trudeau, but he doesn't
:23:41. > :23:48.know what he's doing. The chance that I'm going to let him plunge my
:23:49. > :23:53.country into 1.5 trillion of debt, not a chance. I'm going to win the
:23:54. > :23:59.leadership on May 27, I will shine the light of transparency on him for
:24:00. > :24:04.the next two years. Then in 29 time, in Canada, we will not having an
:24:05. > :24:11.election, we will have an exorcist. He is a disaster.
:24:12. > :24:18.He is different to Donald Trump, but you sense you might get on better
:24:19. > :24:24.with him than with Justin Trudeau. Yes, mild-mannered Trump? Half of
:24:25. > :24:28.all Canadians are children of movements or immigrants, and we have
:24:29. > :24:32.been speaking about the famous Canadian openness, about Justin
:24:33. > :24:37.Trudeau going to the airport to meet the refugees. But there has been a
:24:38. > :24:41.mild uptick in anti-immigrant feeling in Canada as well. Even in
:24:42. > :24:51.Canada, I should say. There are something like 100 Alt right groups,
:24:52. > :24:56.or right-wing groups, double the number in 2012. So countries
:24:57. > :24:59.everywhere having to deal with immigration, it is a difficult
:25:00. > :25:04.subject and it doesn't seem that even Canada has got it totally
:25:05. > :25:07.right. And when we talk about the rise in populism, underpinning that
:25:08. > :25:13.in all the countries in the Europe is this groundswell of opinion about
:25:14. > :25:23.immigration and where borders should be. We have been focusing on the
:25:24. > :25:31.French election, with Marine Le Pen up there. We have girt welders in
:25:32. > :25:33.Holland, and the German man doing well. Immigration underpins all of
:25:34. > :25:36.these mini and -- opinion polls. You're watching 100
:25:37. > :25:38.Days from BBC News. Still to come for viewers
:25:39. > :25:40.on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News -
:25:41. > :25:42.who is HR McMaster? We'll be speaking to a close friend
:25:43. > :25:45.of the Lieutenant General and Donald Trump's new National
:25:46. > :25:47.Security Adviser - That's still to come on 100
:25:48. > :26:17.Days, from BBC News. Good evening. It is turning out to
:26:18. > :26:21.be a week of two seasons. We started the week in spring in the south-east
:26:22. > :26:26.of the country. We finished the week in winter. There will be some snow
:26:27. > :26:32.and temperatures will struggle to get up above 5 degrees. In between,
:26:33. > :26:37.a spell of stormy weather. Tonight, a windy night in store. The weather
:26:38. > :26:42.is clear of our shores, between us and Iceland. It will be whipping on
:26:43. > :26:46.winds, sending a weather front southwards towards the central
:26:47. > :26:51.swathe of the UK. To the north of it, we concede gale force winds and
:26:52. > :26:55.they will strengthen overnight to the north-east of Scotland. The wind
:26:56. > :26:59.coming in from the south-west keeping temperatures up. Damp and
:27:00. > :27:05.drizzly here with the colder further north, some clearer skies. Sunshine
:27:06. > :27:09.in the morning. But around the Orkneys and the north-east of
:27:10. > :27:17.Scotland, the wins will be ring in showers. They will bring in
:27:18. > :27:21.showers... Wales and the Midlands and southern England, cloudy
:27:22. > :27:27.throughout. Really misty towards the West. Rain most persistent in Wales.
:27:28. > :27:34.Temperatures to the north of that. The rain will edge out in Wednesday
:27:35. > :27:37.evening then this deepening error of low pressure is stormed Doris. The
:27:38. > :27:43.latest name to storm from the Met Office. It will bring disruption to
:27:44. > :27:48.some of you as we go into Thursday. First of all, a Met Office warning
:27:49. > :27:54.about wind. The aware of the potential for disruption across
:27:55. > :28:01.northern England, North Wales. We could see gusts of up to 80 miles an
:28:02. > :28:07.hour. Those details could fluctuate. As good snow amounts, the potential
:28:08. > :28:10.disruptive feature across northern England and eastern Scotland. We
:28:11. > :28:14.will not rule out the chance of seeing snow at lower levels in the
:28:15. > :28:19.morning. On Thursday, all of us will see a spell of rain briefly during
:28:20. > :28:24.the morning. Lasting longer across the north-east of the UK. Elsewhere,
:28:25. > :28:28.after a wild start, the winds remain strong but the sunshine should come
:28:29. > :28:34.out physically Acosta southern and western areas. -- to come out,
:28:35. > :30:09.particularly across southern and western areas.
:30:10. > :30:16.More illegal immigrants are facing deportation from the US -
:30:17. > :30:19.the White House says it's empowering agents so they can remove anyone
:30:20. > :30:28.And coming up, it's not Lille, nor the Loire Valley - but London.
:30:29. > :30:39.Why would a French presidential candidate campaign in the UK?
:30:40. > :30:48.Emanuel Micron is addressing supporters right now at Westminster.
:30:49. > :30:53.The President has a new National Security Advisor -
:30:54. > :30:55.he is General HR McMaster, a man who
:30:56. > :30:58.He is a highly decorated soldier - awarded the silver star
:30:59. > :31:01.in the first Gulf war, he has a PHD - he is
:31:02. > :31:04.And perhaps it is because he speaks his mind -
:31:05. > :31:07.that it has taken him so long to rise to the top.
:31:08. > :31:09.Senator John McCain, chair of the Senate armed service
:31:10. > :31:12.committee -often a critic of the President -
:31:13. > :31:23.A man he said of genuine intellect, character and ability.
:31:24. > :31:34.He is a man of tremendous talent and experience.
:31:35. > :31:41.A precondition for progress along any line in any area was the removal
:31:42. > :31:49.of this terrorist organisation within the city.
:31:50. > :31:51.He is really smart and very candid. You're never in doubt as to what he
:31:52. > :32:07.thinks about a subject. He is highly respected by everybody
:32:08. > :32:27.in the military. I would like to say what a privilege
:32:28. > :32:32.it is to be able to continue serving our nation, I'm grateful to you for
:32:33. > :32:35.the opportunity and look forward to doing everything I can to advance
:32:36. > :32:36.and protect the interests of the American people.
:32:37. > :32:39.Let's get more on the man with one of his friends,
:32:40. > :32:41.Lt Gen David Barno, who was Commander of Coalition
:32:42. > :32:56.Peace breaking out in Washington, you rarely see so much consensus
:32:57. > :33:00.that this is a good pick. Well it could change when he gets into the
:33:01. > :33:06.job but I also think it is a terrific choice. And I joined a host
:33:07. > :33:12.of others who think that he is just the right move. You know him well,
:33:13. > :33:17.this is not an easy job to go into. Clearly the experiences of Mike
:33:18. > :33:23.Flynn suggest that as well. But he has got to deal with many competing
:33:24. > :33:27.egos. He will have to make sure that his views are heard by the
:33:28. > :33:31.president. Can he do that? He knows what he's getting into, he is going
:33:32. > :33:35.in with his eyes wide open. There has been a lot of reporting on
:33:36. > :33:43.challenges inside the White House right now. Do you think that is
:33:44. > :33:47.accurate? I think a fair bit of it is, perhaps overblown in some
:33:48. > :33:52.respects. And losing the National security officer after 24 days,
:33:53. > :33:59.there will need to be a lot of team-building to get it back on
:34:00. > :34:04.track. The dynamics of the relationship going to be ingesting,
:34:05. > :34:08.Lou Senator dealing with the 4-star general in James Matias and also
:34:09. > :34:14.some big characters in the administration like Stephen Bannon.
:34:15. > :34:18.I think he knows the candidates and characters in the White House, he
:34:19. > :34:23.will have to establish a personal relationship with Donald Trump.
:34:24. > :34:29.Something he does not bring with him to this job. He will have to have a
:34:30. > :34:32.big place at the table but a number of other speakers have pointed out
:34:33. > :34:38.that he is forceful and no shrinking violet. He will do just fine making
:34:39. > :34:43.his voice heard. In an administration that really does not
:34:44. > :34:46.have too much experience in the conflict world. And he is empowered
:34:47. > :34:51.now by this appointment because Donald Trump has got to make this
:34:52. > :34:57.work. It is clear after losing his first adviser in the record three
:34:58. > :35:02.and half weeks, he needs to keep this one in place and get the team
:35:03. > :35:06.going. Get him good staff and support that he needs to get out
:35:07. > :35:12.good decisions. That has not happened yet because in part of the
:35:13. > :35:16.turmoil. So I think HR McMaster understand that. They will have to
:35:17. > :35:20.make this work. It is a new environment. You have worked with
:35:21. > :35:25.him on reviews for the US military, how would you characterise his
:35:26. > :35:30.worldview, you could save Mike Flynn had a certain position he came from
:35:31. > :35:34.and it was clear what his views on some big issues where for example
:35:35. > :35:39.Islamic extremism. Do you think HR McMaster has a world vision that
:35:40. > :35:42.will shape the White House and shape American policy because this is an
:35:43. > :35:46.appointment that really affects people around the world. He will
:35:47. > :35:50.have the ear of the president every single day and I think his world
:35:51. > :35:55.view is different to Mike Flynn. He believes that the US needs to be an
:35:56. > :36:02.international power, to be connected with its allies and friends around
:36:03. > :36:07.the world. That is the world that he grew up in in the military. He is
:36:08. > :36:11.sceptical about Russia, he views it as a significant threat to US
:36:12. > :36:15.interests. How will he managed that with the president to seems to have
:36:16. > :36:19.a certain affinity with Russia? It will be interesting to see it. I
:36:20. > :36:29.think also James matters share that view. We will see how that evolves.
:36:30. > :36:35.-- James matters. He will not be the lone wolf out there talking to the
:36:36. > :36:39.president about that. He has a Ph.D. In American history and I read an
:36:40. > :36:42.article but he rode today and he said the record of learning from
:36:43. > :36:48.previous experience in history is poor. I also understand he is
:36:49. > :36:53.looking at what went on in Ukraine, he is concerned about the way the
:36:54. > :36:58.Russians managed to infiltrate the eastern side of Ukraine and he was
:36:59. > :37:01.leading a panel to look at that. So he is someone that looks back at the
:37:02. > :37:06.failures of the American administrations and he will want to
:37:07. > :37:11.change things when he is in the job. It is important to understand that
:37:12. > :37:16.he is a military historian, that was his Ph.D., he studied warfare merely
:37:17. > :37:21.his entire adult life and participated in the first Gulf War.
:37:22. > :37:29.And he has led troops in counter insurgency campaigns in the most
:37:30. > :37:32.recent Iraq conflict. He is no one else has certainly learned lessons
:37:33. > :37:37.from that and I think he will bring them into those administration in a
:37:38. > :37:39.way that almost no one else possibly could. Thank you very much.
:37:40. > :37:41.The French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron
:37:42. > :37:44.was on the campaign trail today - not in France, but in Britain.
:37:45. > :37:47.He's in London to rally support among the 200,000 French
:37:48. > :37:53.Mr Macron took time to visit Prime Minister Theresa May
:37:54. > :37:55.at Downing Street - a meeting he requested.
:37:56. > :37:58.And afterwards, he had this message for a post-Brexit Britain,
:37:59. > :38:11.In my programme you will have a series of initiatives to get
:38:12. > :38:17.talented people in research and many deals working here, coming to
:38:18. > :38:21.France. I was very happy to see that some academics and researchers in
:38:22. > :38:27.the UK because of Brexit considering coming to France to work. It will be
:38:28. > :38:33.part of my programme to be attractive to these kind of people.
:38:34. > :38:38.I want banks, researchers, academics and so on. I think France and the EU
:38:39. > :38:43.are a very attractive proposition now. So in my programme I will do
:38:44. > :38:49.everything I can to make it attractive and successful. Get
:38:50. > :38:51.invited for tea and then threatens to take the jobs!
:38:52. > :38:54.A lot to talk about, let's bring in the BBC's
:38:55. > :39:04.It is what everyone is saying. Francois Hollande has said that as
:39:05. > :39:10.well. Everyone wants to attract over all these people who are allegedly
:39:11. > :39:14.poised to move across because of Brexit. And there have been some
:39:15. > :39:18.successes, some announcements and no doubt it will work somewhat in
:39:19. > :39:24.favour of France. We will just have to wait and see. The other thing to
:39:25. > :39:29.mention about what we just heard, it was all in the future tense. In my
:39:30. > :39:34.programme, we will do this. No one has yet seen this programme. And
:39:35. > :39:41.there has been a lot of style from him, a lot of politics campaigning
:39:42. > :39:45.but everyone saying please don't tell us what you're actually going
:39:46. > :39:49.to do. And this is the problem he faces, he has got to come down one
:39:50. > :39:54.way or the other to define his economic policies and so on. And
:39:55. > :39:58.when he does he will be open to a lot more flak which she has not
:39:59. > :40:02.really faced yet. It is a win-win because he comes here as an untested
:40:03. > :40:07.leader, he has to show he can function on the world stage, and
:40:08. > :40:11.then he is standing in front of a world-famous door. But also quite
:40:12. > :40:14.good for Theresa May because presumably the British ambassador in
:40:15. > :40:19.Paris has told her this could be the man so over a cup of tea she can
:40:20. > :40:24.find out what he's thinking. Clearly that is what has happened. He was
:40:25. > :40:34.not at all the front runner until fairly recently pulled up and the
:40:35. > :40:38.full from grace of fossil fuel. That force while Phil on. Normally in
:40:39. > :40:42.this pre-electoral period foreign leaders are careful not to take
:40:43. > :40:45.sides. They will meet the person from their own camp, like the
:40:46. > :40:50.Conservatives would meet the Conservatives and so on. In theory
:40:51. > :40:55.anyway Emmanuel Macron is not from the Conservative camp but on the
:40:56. > :41:00.face of it from the left wing camp. He comes from a left-wing
:41:01. > :41:03.administration where he was minister of the economy. The advice will have
:41:04. > :41:09.been things are changing here, it is a fluid situation now in France and
:41:10. > :41:12.this man Emmanuel Macron for all his lack of experience could be the next
:41:13. > :41:20.leader. So worth getting a word in now. Is there any risk, in a
:41:21. > :41:25.head-to-head matchup with Marine Le Pen in the second round of voting,
:41:26. > :41:28.it seems that he wins every time and quite substantially, is there any
:41:29. > :41:35.risk that he peaking too early and the French might actually start to
:41:36. > :41:39.poke holes in someone who has not made very many policies. That is a
:41:40. > :41:43.good question and I think that is certainly his fear. I noticed today
:41:44. > :41:51.that the polls for the first time in a weeks have put the centre-right
:41:52. > :41:55.candidate edging back above him. It is far from being a dead cert that
:41:56. > :42:02.Emmanuel Macron will go through to the second round. Things are fluid,
:42:03. > :42:07.we have seen Fillon come to a sticky position already. There has not been
:42:08. > :42:11.yet much scrutiny of the manual macro and when he starts to produce
:42:12. > :42:14.the facts about what is planning to do we can imagine the spotlight of
:42:15. > :42:18.criticism will be a lot more harsh than it has been up until now.
:42:19. > :42:22.Plenty more to come on this story. Thank you for the moment.
