:00:15. > :00:19.The President is optimistic and conciliatory - saying he wants
:00:20. > :00:30.The time for a small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is
:00:31. > :00:36.behind us. His wish list, A trillion dollars for
:00:37. > :00:37.infrastructure spending, more money for the military AND tax
:00:38. > :00:40.cuts are his priorities, US stocks soar after the speech, but
:00:41. > :00:44.the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan
:00:45. > :00:46.Greenspan, tells us of his doubts about the President's
:00:47. > :00:55.plans. America under Donald Trump will have
:00:56. > :01:04.to fix it and pay for it all. Can to fix it and pay for it all. Can
:01:05. > :01:06.you do it? Now. Ashfaq can he do it? No.
:01:07. > :01:08.In France, the centre-right candidate for the Presidential
:01:09. > :01:10.election, Francis Fillon, is placed under formal investigation
:01:11. > :01:11.for the alleged misuse of public funds,

:01:34. > :01:36.into the President's big speech
:01:37. > :01:46.preparations. You're watching One Hundred Days
:01:47. > :01:49.with Katty Kay in Washington It was a very different
:01:50. > :01:52.Donald Trump who addressed Congress last night -
:01:53. > :01:54.less flame-thrower, more President. He was still tough on immigration
:01:55. > :01:56.and terrorism but there was a surprising
:01:57. > :01:58.splattering of optimism, too. In fact, so favourable
:01:59. > :02:07.were the morning headlines - even from what he calls
:02:08. > :02:10.the "failing" New York Times - that an often irascible President
:02:11. > :02:14.could find nothing to moan about. Let's have a listen to some
:02:15. > :02:32.of what he had to say. The vast majority of individuals
:02:33. > :02:34.convicted of terrorism and terrorism-related offences, since
:02:35. > :02:36.9/11, came From
:02:37. > :02:44.Boston to San Bernardino, to the Pentagon, and yes, even the World
:02:45. > :02:47.Trade Center. We have seen the attacks in France, in Belgium, in
:02:48. > :02:52.Germany and all over the world. It is not compassion, but reckless, to
:02:53. > :02:55.allow uncontrolled entry from places Those given the high honour of
:02:56. > :03:15.admission to the United States, should support this country,
:03:16. > :03:20.love its people and its values. We cannot allow a beachhead of
:03:21. > :03:24.terrorism to form inside America. We cannot allow our nation to become
:03:25. > :03:36.a sanctuary for extremists. Our foreign policy calls for direct,
:03:37. > :03:39.robust and meaningful engagement It is American leadership based on
:03:40. > :03:49.vital security influence, that we share with our allies all
:03:50. > :03:54.across the globe. We strongly support Nato, an
:03:55. > :03:58.alliance forged in the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned
:03:59. > :04:03.fascism and the Cold War, and defeated
:04:04. > :04:18.communism. But our partners must
:04:19. > :04:24.meet their financial obligations. And now based on our strong
:04:25. > :04:26.and frank discussions, In fact, I can tell
:04:27. > :04:35.you the money is pouring in. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel
:04:36. > :04:50.is with me. Much about the content of the speech
:04:51. > :04:55.and the agenda but the headline was a question of tone. I want to show
:04:56. > :05:03.you a tweet that has come from the Conservative commentator Kathleen
:05:04. > :05:11.Parker. Those pictures of every sing in the back of the car, The Beast,
:05:12. > :05:14.before he goes to Capitol Hill, fascinating. If you are the Rolling
:05:15. > :05:18.Stones playing one of your hits, you don't need to be hers. When you are
:05:19. > :05:23.trying out new lines and new songs you have diverse. He was trying out
:05:24. > :05:27.something we haven't seen before from Donald Trump. A new persona,
:05:28. > :05:32.inclusive, warm, positive, optimistic about the future, wanting
:05:33. > :05:36.to bring people together, unifying. That was something we have not seen
:05:37. > :05:41.from Donald Trump before, and the question people will be asking, like
:05:42. > :05:45.you and me, was, was that a one-off, or will we see a new Donald Trump
:05:46. > :05:49.emerging from the chrysalis of the first chaotic few weeks in the White
:05:50. > :05:52.House? I'm sure that the blast saying to him today, look at the
:05:53. > :05:57.reviews you're getting for that disciplined performance, you stuck
:05:58. > :06:02.to the message that was written down for you, and it all worked out very
:06:03. > :06:10.nicely. And he definitely likes good reviews. The people liked it and
:06:11. > :06:13.Congress likes it. Let's have a look at Paul Ryan, the Conservative
:06:14. > :06:21.Leader of the house, nodding and clapping, this is all very good. He
:06:22. > :06:25.is even clapping the $1 trillion infrastructure project. This is a
:06:26. > :06:27.clip when he is asked about funding and infrastructure project that is
:06:28. > :06:34.half the size of the one that the president has put forward. Take a
:06:35. > :06:37.look at his reaction. Would you help president Donald Trump cast a $550
:06:38. > :06:48.billion infrastructure programme? Would that be something you would
:06:49. > :06:54.help them achieve? That is not in the A Better Way. He's a man that
:06:55. > :07:01.has got to corral the Conservatives and put promises into policy. Kenny
:07:02. > :07:05.it? Last night it seemed like Mike Pence and Paul Ryan had been to the
:07:06. > :07:09.same tailor and got a two-for-one offer on the same suit, shirt and
:07:10. > :07:15.tie. Moving on from that, it is going to be difficult. These are
:07:16. > :07:21.problems that every president has faced, not just Donald Trump, that
:07:22. > :07:24.you can come forward with ideas like a $1 trillion infrastructure plan,
:07:25. > :07:29.much that it might be needed, but will it be passed with fiscally
:07:30. > :07:35.conservative Republicans who want to be paying down the deficit? He
:07:36. > :07:37.talked about paper may -- paid paternity leave. Though seem like
:07:38. > :07:42.very democratic things to be advocating. He also called for the
:07:43. > :07:45.Democratic party to come into the tent, to embrace the changes he is
:07:46. > :07:50.going to make. Is that going to happen? We heard a long wish list
:07:51. > :07:55.last night. Turning that injury allergy might be something a little
:07:56. > :07:59.more tricky. -- turning that into reality.
:08:00. > :08:01.With us now is the Kansas Secretary of State,
:08:02. > :08:05.the former chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, Kris Kobach.
:08:06. > :08:13.A big supporter of Donald Trump. Did it go down well, where you were
:08:14. > :08:18.sitting? Yes, I think it went very well. I was listening to your prior
:08:19. > :08:22.commentary. It is important to put this speech in context. The State of
:08:23. > :08:26.the Union message is the only one the president is required by the
:08:27. > :08:31.constitution to give. It is a speech to be given to a joint session of
:08:32. > :08:36.undress. The question is, has Donald Trump changed his demeanour or
:08:37. > :08:39.manner of speaking? You will see all of the State of the Union messages
:08:40. > :08:43.during the Trump presidency look like this because it's a specific
:08:44. > :08:47.type of speech given to the legislature, where he lays out a
:08:48. > :08:51.legislative agenda whilst as other speeches are speaking to the common
:08:52. > :08:54.man, and it is a throng of thousands of people. He will probably give
:08:55. > :09:00.that kind of speech to that audience and this kind of speech to Congress.
:09:01. > :09:03.I take that, but isn't the one lesson that comes out of this that
:09:04. > :09:08.there is a lot more power in the presidency when you are talking with
:09:09. > :09:10.optimism and in positive terms than the resent counterpunching and
:09:11. > :09:17.attacking opponents and getting dragged into meaningless arguments?
:09:18. > :09:22.I think there was something to be said for that, absolutely. You want
:09:23. > :09:26.to remember, this is handing the ball to Congress because it's the
:09:27. > :09:29.first time he is laying out a legislative agenda, so he has to
:09:30. > :09:32.project confidence and optimism that you can get it done and I will sign
:09:33. > :09:38.a bill when it comes to my desk after you get it done. So in this
:09:39. > :09:40.context that optimism is important and counterpunching doesn't serve
:09:41. > :09:46.any purpose in the State of the Union message. Katy Clay here in
:09:47. > :09:57.Washington. I want to ask about the substance and the detailed in this
:09:58. > :10:02.speech -- McCrone. There was cause for more spending on the military,
:10:03. > :10:06.family leave, clean air, and they spoke about health care reforms he
:10:07. > :10:13.spoke about keeping in access for people with pre-existing conditions
:10:14. > :10:17.and also conditions on Medicaid. Is he going to run into problems when
:10:18. > :10:21.he tries to keep Conservatives on board with them? I think you are
:10:22. > :10:27.right with respect to spending on infrastructure. You will have a
:10:28. > :10:30.natural clash between the Conservative impulse in Congress to
:10:31. > :10:33.keep spending under control and an ambitious agenda laid out by the
:10:34. > :10:41.president. As far as the specifics on health care, and the repeal of
:10:42. > :10:45.ObamaCare, I don't see conflict there. If you look at the Republican
:10:46. > :10:51.alternatives, what we would like to be the case when ObamaCare is gone,
:10:52. > :10:53.they include the things that Donald Trump was talking about, covering
:10:54. > :11:00.people with pre-existing conditions. I don't see much fiction, there. On
:11:01. > :11:05.the size of the infrastructure plan, the president is a deal-maker. He
:11:06. > :11:08.has thrown out his initial offer, how about $1 trillion? At the end of
:11:09. > :11:13.the day it is going to be something else. Another deal he was floating
:11:14. > :11:17.yesterday was television news anchors here, was the idea of
:11:18. > :11:21.proposing immigration reform with some kind of pathway to citizenship
:11:22. > :11:28.for people who are currently here illegally. How would that go down
:11:29. > :11:34.that his supporters therein Kansas? Any form of amnesty, where you are
:11:35. > :11:37.having citizenship or not, giving legal staters to those in the
:11:38. > :11:43.country illegally, would not go down well with his ace, and that includes
:11:44. > :11:47.people in Kansas, just because he campaigned very vigorously during
:11:48. > :11:51.the entire cycle of the presidency campaign, enforcing our laws and
:11:52. > :11:56.against amnesty. Whether there is some element of amnesty or somebody
:11:57. > :12:03.that comes from Congress remains to be seen but in terms of where his
:12:04. > :12:16.base is, his days once our laws in first and not to have an amnesty.
:12:17. > :12:20.Katty, let me ask you, there was a different tone to the speech but is
:12:21. > :12:24.there any clue about who actually wrote it? We were told with the
:12:25. > :12:26.inaugural speech that it was Steve Miller and Steve Bannon who were
:12:27. > :12:32.behind it, and it was a much darker tone. Who wrote this one? The
:12:33. > :12:35.striking thing about this speech that it was night and day compared
:12:36. > :12:39.to the inaugural address. So the speculation is that somebody else
:12:40. > :12:42.had their hands on this speech and wrote something that was effectively
:12:43. > :12:47.much more conventional as a political speech. I have heard that
:12:48. > :12:54.the Vice President got involved and that he wanted elements in there
:12:55. > :12:59.with more calls for unity, that his daughter Ivanka and her aid got in
:13:00. > :13:02.there on issues like child and family leave, so we have aired more
:13:03. > :13:06.voices in there, so what is the president going to do going forward,
:13:07. > :13:11.listen to those voices that got him rave reviews or is his instinct more
:13:12. > :13:15.that Armageddon type image of America we saw any and all address?
:13:16. > :13:20.It will be fascinating to watch his evolution. You wonder if the
:13:21. > :13:22.positive spin on this might take him in a different direction. Let's turn
:13:23. > :13:25.to France, now. Francois Fillon, the right wing
:13:26. > :13:27.candidate to become the next President of France,
:13:28. > :13:29.says he will fight on despite news today he will be placed under
:13:30. > :13:31.formal investigation. He has been summoned to appear
:13:32. > :13:34.before magistrates on March 15th, facing allegations he paid his wife
:13:35. > :13:37.hundreds of thousands of euros of public money for parliamentary
:13:38. > :13:41.work she might never have done. One of Mr Fillon's closest aides
:13:42. > :13:46.resigned from the campaign today. He said the candidate had gone back
:13:47. > :13:49.on his word to withdraw from the election if he was placed
:13:50. > :14:07.under formal investigation. TRANSLATION: A number of my
:14:08. > :14:16.political friends are talking about the political assassination. It is
:14:17. > :14:19.in fact an assassination, because it is disproportionate, unprecedented,
:14:20. > :14:23.by the choice of this calendar, it is not only me who is being
:14:24. > :14:26.assassinated by these presidential elections, too.
:14:27. > :14:28.Let's get more from Benedicte Paviot,
:14:29. > :14:34.UK correspondent for the French network, France 24.
:14:35. > :14:41.There will be many people who will point to that speech today and talk
:14:42. > :14:45.about the arrogance of Francois Fillon. He is third in the polls,
:14:46. > :14:53.he's facing all sorts of problems. Surely the right thing to do is step
:14:54. > :14:56.aside and give the party a chance. We har 53 days away from the first
:14:57. > :15:02.round of the presidential election on 23rd of April. Yes, there are a
:15:03. > :15:06.lot of people wondering tonight, whether it is in France or abroad,
:15:07. > :15:13.French nationals, who will vote in this election, and we really are
:15:14. > :15:18.astonished that he is not quitting. He was in a defiant, combative mood.
:15:19. > :15:26.He was supposed to appear before the media at 8am at an event that there
:15:27. > :15:31.is a must for any top French politician. There were rumours he
:15:32. > :15:34.might not appear, then he appeared at half past 12 at lunchtime with a
:15:35. > :15:39.delayed press conference at his headquarters. But we have moved on
:15:40. > :15:43.from there. You mentioned in your introduction the fact that one of
:15:44. > :15:50.his key advisers, a former rival in the French primaries, before
:15:51. > :15:59.Francois Fillon became the official candidate, he resigned at the end of
:16:00. > :16:03.the afternoon. Now another centrist party, the has suspended and will
:16:04. > :16:06.make a decision next week. He is losing support, haemorrhaging
:16:07. > :16:13.support, but he is adamant he will not quit. And, of course, what the
:16:14. > :16:18.French media are absolutely talking about is, they are replaying the
:16:19. > :16:23.fact that, back in August, when he was placed under formal
:16:24. > :16:29.investigation, if he was, he said he would quit as a candidate. The
:16:30. > :16:33.question is with this appears before a judge that he told the world about
:16:34. > :16:39.come on 15th of March, his wife, Penelope, is also going to appear
:16:40. > :16:41.before the judge. That is two days before all French presidential
:16:42. > :16:48.candidates who wish to stand in this presidential election are actually
:16:49. > :16:54.going to, it is the last date before they can say that they have the 500
:16:55. > :16:59.needed signatures to become a candidate in that election. It is
:17:00. > :17:03.quite a year in Washington. Whatever Francois Fillon is saying, I won't
:17:04. > :17:07.give up, surrender or withdraw, it looks like the end of his
:17:08. > :17:12.presidential ambitions, one way or the other. What does it mean for the
:17:13. > :17:17.Republican Party? Is it the end of their ambitions for this year
:17:18. > :17:22.leased? The person who came second was Alain Juppe. Let's remember what
:17:23. > :17:26.happened. Primaries are not a French phenomenon but an American one. It
:17:27. > :17:30.is the first time that the French right has tried this and against all
:17:31. > :17:34.expectations it was not Alain Juppe, another former Prime Minister, who
:17:35. > :17:39.was favourite, not just within the centre-right but across the board
:17:40. > :17:41.and in the polls for months, it was actually quite comfortably Francois
:17:42. > :17:49.Fillon who won. He presented himself as somebody who was trustworthy and
:17:50. > :17:55.wanted to preserve once. This is why it is not sitting well with his own
:17:56. > :17:58.party. -- preserve France. 73% of people yesterday, just before this
:17:59. > :18:02.happened, across the board in France, say politician should be
:18:03. > :18:07.judged like any French citizen, no special rights, no stopping and
:18:08. > :18:14.posing of the judicial process. But Francois Fillon has said, he has
:18:15. > :18:19.made serious accusations against the judiciary, and the police, and he is
:18:20. > :18:23.saying that he has been politically assassinated. So the people who
:18:24. > :18:30.could benefit from this are Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron. We have
:18:31. > :18:36.had so many twists and turns, who knows? It is a fascinating
:18:37. > :18:37.collection. We will be wondering what happens to Marine Le Pen,
:18:38. > :18:40.because of this. It's already been nicknamed
:18:41. > :18:41.the "Trump bump." That's right - the Dow has
:18:42. > :18:45.breached the 21,000 mark for the first time ever -
:18:46. > :18:51.partly as a result of the President's address
:18:52. > :18:52.to Congress and the expectation
:18:53. > :18:54.of higher interest rates. On the economy, Donald Trump
:18:55. > :18:56.promised tax cuts and a huge increase in
:18:57. > :19:08.infrastructure spending. Here he is. To launch our national rebuilding, I
:19:09. > :19:11.will be asking Congress to approve legislation that produces a one
:19:12. > :19:16.jillion dollars investment in infrastructure of the United States,
:19:17. > :19:18.financed through both public and private capital, creating millions
:19:19. > :19:27.of new jobs. APPLAUSE
:19:28. > :19:35.Investors clearly liked what they heard.
:19:36. > :19:37.What do the economic gurus make of it?
:19:38. > :19:42.Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan. I started by asking
:19:43. > :19:44.for his reaction to the economic policy of the President's address
:19:45. > :19:57.It was a very important change in style which I frankly hadn't
:19:58. > :20:07.expected to see when he came into office. And I was shocked, first,
:20:08. > :20:12.that he did it. If he stays off Twitter, I think the world would be
:20:13. > :20:16.better off. But overall, it was a good performance relative to what he
:20:17. > :20:21.had done in the past. He laid out quite a lot of spending proposals
:20:22. > :20:25.that he would like. Infrastructure, military, family leave, where was
:20:26. > :20:34.the revenue side to pay for it all? Hidden. This is the issue. That was
:20:35. > :20:44.not a speech that was meant to be taken literally. One that you must
:20:45. > :20:53.ask, how do you find various things, there was nothing in their about
:20:54. > :21:00.strong economic growth, well, where's that coming from? Right at
:21:01. > :21:08.the moment we're going through a period of significant stagnation,
:21:09. > :21:16.for five years. And this is having a critical impact on the whole
:21:17. > :21:22.psychology of the economy. A democratic society has to be
:21:23. > :21:27.perceived to have growth, which all of sudden, looks to sink into
:21:28. > :21:34.populism. And what we're looking at basically at this moment as far as I
:21:35. > :21:39.can see is something very similar to what is happening in Latin America.
:21:40. > :21:49.Populism in that context is not an economic policy. It is basically a
:21:50. > :21:54.cry of pain. The request is, somebody come and do something. As
:21:55. > :21:59.great populists do, Donald Trump promises that it is going to be
:22:00. > :22:02.fabulous. He is talking about, and he said it again yesterday, not in
:22:03. > :22:07.his speech but during the course of the day, America under Donald Trump
:22:08. > :22:14.will have 3% more growth. That's how he's going to fix it and pay for it
:22:15. > :22:19.all. Can he do it? Now. Why see promising it, then, because then it
:22:20. > :22:27.opens the door to disappointment. It is obvious. I think we underestimate
:22:28. > :22:37.the impact on the marketplace of the issue of regulation. What the
:22:38. > :22:45.markets are responding to is the elimination of this, not his other
:22:46. > :22:49.policies, but the is a clean issue. The markets have responded well to

:22:56. > :23:00.since he was elected. How far the canny financial markets become? Are
:23:01. > :23:06.you concerned? I don't think it is too much of an exaggeration to say
:23:07. > :23:15.that virtually all of the market response is the removal of
:23:16. > :23:18.uncertainty. Turning our back to the direction of higher levels of
:23:19. > :23:24.regulatory pressures. Which is not a surprise. Alan Greenspan, studiously
:23:25. > :23:30.trying to stand in the middle, but do I pick up a hemp that he doesn't
:23:31. > :23:36.think the numbers in this budget add up? -- pick up a hint. Alan
:23:37. > :23:41.Greenspan has to be careful not to be too political but I did not hear
:23:42. > :23:44.anything there apart from Donald Trump's the regulation plans, which
:23:45. > :23:47.clearly the markets are loving, about saying this is going to be an
:23:48. > :23:52.economic policy that makes any sense. Even if you can get it
:23:53. > :23:55.through, but the numbers, perhaps, don't add up.
:23:56. > :23:57.The British government has suffered its first
:23:58. > :23:59.defeat on the Brexit Bill which is currently
:24:00. > :24:03.The House of Lords voted in favour of an opposition-backed amendment
:24:04. > :24:05.that would guarantee the future status of EU nationals
:24:06. > :24:13.Britain is withdrawing from the EU's policy of free movement.
:24:14. > :24:15.That leaves three million EU nationals currently in Britain,
:24:16. > :24:18.and one million Britons who live in EU countries, in limbo.
:24:19. > :24:29.and our chief political correspondent, Vicki Young.
:24:30. > :24:36.358-256 in terms of votes. What does this mean for the Prime Minister's
:24:37. > :24:41.timetable? This is a big defeat for the government, there is no doubt
:24:42. > :24:44.about that. Theresa May hope to be able to offer this guaranteed to EU
:24:45. > :24:48.citizens living here in Britain, but she does not want it to be a
:24:49. > :24:52.unilateral action. She says it has got to be debated and negotiated
:24:53. > :24:56.with other EU countries, because she's concerned about the British
:24:57. > :24:59.people living elsewhere in the EU. The unelected House of Lords
:25:00. > :25:05.tonight, they have not agreed with her, and in overwhelming fashion.
:25:06. > :25:09.The Conservative government put in all its supporters people like the
:25:10. > :25:13.novelist, Jeffrey Archer and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, making
:25:14. > :25:17.rare appearances, but it was not enough, and the opposition parties
:25:18. > :25:20.say that they have given a lesson to the government in morality, the
:25:21. > :25:24.right thing to do, they say, and a lesson in humanity. What happens
:25:25. > :25:28.now, they go back to the elected House of Commons. Many of them have
:25:29. > :25:34.concerns. The question is whether they will agree with the House of
:25:35. > :25:36.Lords, whether Theresa May can continue as she wants to, and
:25:37. > :25:41.trigger Article 50, starting those for more Brexit negotiations by the
:25:42. > :25:50.end of this month. Vicki, thank you for the moment. You're watching 100
:25:51. > :25:55.Days. Still to come, a warning for the City of London. We will hear
:25:56. > :25:58.more from the former head of the US Federal Reserve about why he
:25:59. > :26:05.believes Brexit will be bad for the UK economy. And the presidential
:26:06. > :26:13.style preparation for public speaking. That is still to come on
:26:14. > :26:19.100 Days. Good evening. Prepare yourself for a bumpy ride up to the
:26:20. > :26:23.weekend. We have some wet and windy weather with things turning lively
:26:24. > :26:29.tonight to England and Wales. Strong winds, and some rain and snow
:26:30. > :26:34.around. Gales bashing the coast and we could see gusts of 50 miles an
:26:35. > :26:37.hour even now across the South. And some heavy rain across parts of
:26:38. > :26:42.Wales, northern England and the Midlands. Some of that might fall as
:26:43. > :26:47.slowdown to quite low levels bringing some disruption. A quieter
:26:48. > :26:50.night for the North, Northern Ireland in particular. Some wintry
:26:51. > :26:55.showers across the north-west of Scotland in particular. Becoming dry
:26:56. > :27:02.across southern counties, but wherever you are it will feel cold
:27:03. > :27:06.and dry tonight. Those gales will soon subside but it will still feel
:27:07. > :27:11.pretty blustery through the day. Rain and snow moving away from
:27:12. > :27:14.central areas for a time, and many of us will settle into a half decent
:27:15. > :27:19.day with a lot of dry weather as we get into the afternoon. Across the
:27:20. > :27:22.south that is going to feel warm compared to today, plenty of
:27:23. > :27:26.sunshine around and just the odd shower out to the west. A much
:27:27. > :27:29.better afternoon across parts of northern England and North Wales
:27:30. > :27:33.compared with the morning. Things settling down quite nicely. More
:27:34. > :27:38.rain living large to the of Northern Ireland. The best of the sunshine
:27:39. > :27:42.across eastern Scotland with further wintry showers in the West. It will
:27:43. > :27:47.feel chilly in northern areas. Heading through the night, things go
:27:48. > :27:51.downhill again across the South. A developing area of low pressure will
:27:52. > :27:54.push bands of rain northwards across England and Wales as we get through
:27:55. > :27:59.Friday, so a disappointing end to the week with some heavy rain for a
:28:00. > :28:04.time. Some doubt about how far north that gets, but for most of Northern
:28:05. > :28:09.Ireland and Scotland, we will probably get away with it. And low
:28:10. > :28:13.pressure is going to dominate the weather right through the weekend.
:28:14. > :28:18.If not this one, then another one coming in off the Atlantic. We know
:28:19. > :28:23.what low pressure means. It means that rain is not going to be too far
:28:24. > :28:28.away. Prepare for some wet weather at times and some strong winds. For
:28:29. > :30:14.many of us, it will feel on the chilly side through this weekend.
:30:15. > :30:17.Welcome back to One Hundred Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington
:30:18. > :30:20.A reminder of our top story: Has Donald Trump
:30:21. > :30:24.In his first speech to Congress, he repeated many of his key
:30:25. > :30:27.pledges on security, immigration, trade and tax.
:30:28. > :30:30.But there are still questions on how will it be paid for.
:30:31. > :30:34.And coming up - we'll hear more from the former head of the US Fed
:30:35. > :30:42.about why he thinks Brexit will be bad for the UK economy.
:30:43. > :30:45.Well, of course one of the hallmark issues of Donald Trump's presidency
:30:46. > :30:51.so far has been immigration, and securing America's borders.
:30:52. > :30:54.And during his Presidential address, he said that the United States "must
:30:55. > :30:59.restore the rule of law" at its borders.
:31:00. > :31:02.Well let's speak to Michael Chertoff - he's the former secretary
:31:03. > :31:04.of Homeland Security and now Executive Chairman
:31:05. > :31:14.Thanks for coming in. Let's talk about their immigration ban. It has
:31:15. > :31:18.been stalled in the courts, the White House is working on a new one.
:31:19. > :31:23.In your experience, how useful has that been in terms of American
:31:24. > :31:27.national security or not useful? I do think it's worth periodically
:31:28. > :31:30.taking a look at our Visa screening system to make sure we are
:31:31. > :31:35.adequately capturing the information we need to keep out dangerous people
:31:36. > :31:40.without restriction things. I think it is worthwhile taking a second
:31:41. > :31:43.look at this. It is the first try had some legal problems and perhaps
:31:44. > :31:47.was overbroad, I think they are looking at a much more narrowly
:31:48. > :31:53.sculpted and much more sensible ban on the idea really is not to stop
:31:54. > :31:56.travel altogether but to make sure you are identifying those locations
:31:57. > :32:01.where there is a higher risk and then have these are vetting process
:32:02. > :32:05.that captures those risks. There has been some criticism that this is a
:32:06. > :32:11.targeted news limbs and if you add that to some of the language of the
:32:12. > :32:15.president has use, -- Muslims. They repeated phrase of radical Islamic
:32:16. > :32:22.terrorism. We had it last night. Is this something that could come back
:32:23. > :32:25.to haunt America? That it is not worth taking this as a war against
:32:26. > :32:30.Islam is that the president seems to be doing. It is clear we do not want
:32:31. > :32:35.to see this as a war against Islam or suggest that Muslims almost
:32:36. > :32:39.Muslims or the Islamic religion itself is a problem. We do have to
:32:40. > :32:44.recognise that there is an ideology that claims the Islamic mantle that
:32:45. > :32:50.is supporting a lot of terrorist activities we see in the region and
:32:51. > :32:52.in Europe and elsewhere. And not to acknowledge that runs the risk I
:32:53. > :32:56.think are bending over backwards. When I go to the region and I've
:32:57. > :33:01.been in the region and I say how do you describe the terrace, they say
:33:02. > :33:08.we call them jihadi 's or extremists in Glamis. Even people from the
:33:09. > :33:15.region of the Arab world use that terminology and I think we have to
:33:16. > :33:19.be realistic about it. Question. The language is important. If you look
:33:20. > :33:23.at the section on immigration in the speech, it was one of the darkest
:33:24. > :33:26.part of it because he talks about an environment of lawless chaos when he
:33:27. > :33:32.is referring to immigrants and he talks about the vast majority of
:33:33. > :33:36.those convicted of terror crimes are foreign-born which is not true if
:33:37. > :33:39.you look at the evidence. Are you worried at all bad it is that kind
:33:40. > :33:46.of language that is going to great more problems down the line? I think
:33:47. > :33:49.the rhetoric does get a little overheated and that runs the risk of
:33:50. > :33:55.first overly alarming the American people and secondly intimidating and
:33:56. > :33:59.alienating people in the Muslim community in the US who are loyal
:34:00. > :34:05.Americans. But again the basic point that we need to have an adequate
:34:06. > :34:10.process for screening people from overseas who want to come to the US,
:34:11. > :34:17.I think it is a fair point and even after 911, we had to do an enormous
:34:18. > :34:21.amount of re-engineering our travel screening progress to keep that the
:34:22. > :34:23.kind of operatives we saw on September the 11th. The extreme
:34:24. > :34:29.vetting that you are talking about will be in this new travel order
:34:30. > :34:33.which we expect sometime this week. What would you consider is that
:34:34. > :34:37.extreme vetting if there was such a thing? What is fair for people
:34:38. > :34:42.coming through American airports? I think if people are particularly
:34:43. > :34:45.people who come from the Beazer waiver programme and if they have
:34:46. > :34:50.travelled to one of those areas that Congress identified as areas where
:34:51. > :34:55.there are currently terrace combat going on, it is fair to have these
:34:56. > :34:58.people perhaps get a Visa in advance or get pulled aside and question
:34:59. > :35:03.about what they were doing there and why. As you know in Britain, the
:35:04. > :35:08.issue of foreign fighters, Europeans who go to Syria or other up to fight
:35:09. > :35:13.with Isis is the increasing concern for security officials around the
:35:14. > :35:17.world. I must ask you before you go, in 2016, you were a signatory along
:35:18. > :35:21.with 50 other national security figures to a letter in which he said
:35:22. > :35:24.that President Trump would be the most reckless president in American
:35:25. > :35:29.history. Do you still agree with that? I think the president has made
:35:30. > :35:33.some good appointments in his security area. I think we have to
:35:34. > :35:38.withhold judgment. I would love to be proved wrong. You still have
:35:39. > :35:42.concerns. I want to see how the policy develops. We are early in the
:35:43. > :35:47.presidency. He has made good appointments. I will see what the
:35:48. > :35:50.new travel order says. We saw the president recommit yesterday to
:35:51. > :35:54.Nato. As he take the steps, I would love to be able to say I miss judged
:35:55. > :35:56.it, I am happy to say he is doing a good job. We will get you back in.
:35:57. > :36:02.Thank you for joining us. More now from that interview you did
:36:03. > :36:07.earlier today with Former US Federal Federal Reserve Chairnan Alan
:36:08. > :36:08.Greenspan. Katty Yes, I also spoke to him
:36:09. > :36:17.about the prospects for the eurozone How liable do you think Greece's
:36:18. > :36:22.position in the Eurozone is? I have been forecasting four years that
:36:23. > :36:29.they would drop out or be forced out of the Eurozone and the reason to
:36:30. > :36:33.remember is that they got into the Europe Gale Eurozone under false
:36:34. > :36:40.pretences. Ultimately it has been Germany which has supported them,
:36:41. > :36:44.directly and indirectly. It is going to be a very interesting question
:36:45. > :36:50.about how long you can go on. It is an unstable economic system, it is a
:36:51. > :37:01.small economy. It is doing more damage to the structure of the euro
:37:02. > :37:09.than anything else but until that is resolved on my thought is that to
:37:10. > :37:12.resolve it is to detach Greece from the Eurozone. But no one listens to
:37:13. > :37:18.me. You sound surprisingly pessimistic. I found that way
:37:19. > :37:23.because I am. At least I hope by some that way. Is there a scenario
:37:24. > :37:28.in which Brexit could be good for the British economy but not good for
:37:29. > :37:33.the European economy? I would be hard-pressed to find an example of
:37:34. > :37:45.that. Brexit in my view has been bad or will be bad for the British
:37:46. > :37:51.economy. Brexit is essentially, you know, it's American populism. I'm
:37:52. > :37:58.convinced that when some of the number of the people start moving
:37:59. > :38:03.out of London, and they are going through the motions down, that a new
:38:04. > :38:15.photo, in a different direction. Alan Greenspan that. Brexit is Latin
:38:16. > :38:20.American populism. What are you hearing on your side of the
:38:21. > :38:26.Atlantic? I think people are quite pessimistic about Greece and
:38:27. > :38:30.possibly Italy as well. We had a guest in the studio the other day
:38:31. > :38:33.and he was making the point that the situation with Greece at the moment
:38:34. > :38:37.is untenable unless somebody cuts the depth and at the moment there
:38:38. > :38:40.doesn't seem to be any sign of that because Germany of course is heading
:38:41. > :38:43.into an election and Germany is one of the biggest creditors. The
:38:44. > :38:49.Americans are very frustrated about this, we heard from President
:38:50. > :38:53.Trump's trade adviser speaking just last month saying Germany is keeping
:38:54. > :38:57.the euro artificially low by keeping countries like Greece on board.
:38:58. > :39:00.There are plenty people in America who would like Greece to be cut
:39:01. > :39:05.loose the weaker countries can drift away and the euro becomes stronger
:39:06. > :39:07.and therefore there would be a more equitable trading partnership
:39:08. > :39:12.between Europe and the United States. It is interesting, a lot of
:39:13. > :39:16.the people talking at the moment about Greece. Mr Trump clearly a
:39:17. > :39:19.supporter of Brexit but not everyone here in Washington still the same as
:39:20. > :39:25.the president does. Clearly the former chairman thinks differently.
:39:26. > :39:27.Some of the day's other key developments:
:39:28. > :39:30.investigation into the battle for Aleppo in Syria has
:39:31. > :39:32.concluded that both sides were guilty of war crimes.
:39:33. > :39:35.The report focuses on fighting last year, and says the Syrian air force
:39:36. > :39:37.carried out an attack on a UN aid convoy.
:39:38. > :39:40.Rebels are said to have used civilians as human shields.
:39:41. > :39:42.More than a thousand jobs are thought to be at risk
:39:43. > :39:44.at the car maker Ford, at its engine plant
:39:45. > :39:48.The company revealed concerns about a slowdown in work in a leaked
:39:49. > :39:52.Ford won't comment on the document, but says it "fully understands"
:39:53. > :39:56.Two women have been charged with the murder of the half-brother
:39:57. > :40:06.They face the death penalty if found guilty.
:40:07. > :40:08.Malaysian police believe they wiped the deadly nerve agent "VX"
:40:09. > :40:11.on Kim Jong Nam's face in Kuala Lumpur airport just
:40:12. > :40:15.The women claim they thought they were taking part in a video prank.
:40:16. > :40:18.Europe's most active volcano has erupted in a fiery show of lava.
:40:19. > :40:22.Mount Etna, on the Italian island of Sicily, has been largely dormant
:40:23. > :40:34.The volcano's latest eruptions began on Monday.
:40:35. > :40:36.Authorities say there's no danger to nearby towns.
:40:37. > :40:38.Etna's eruptions can last days or even weeks -
:40:39. > :40:55.It was pretty spectacular. Do not get too close. Shall we take a quick
:40:56. > :41:00.look at President Trump rehearsing last night? Here he is in the back
:41:01. > :41:03.of his car. I do this before some of my performances. I like to get the
:41:04. > :41:06.head movement in. Like that, a bit of that.
:41:07. > :41:13.What do you think? I do this when I'm about to tell the children. She
:41:14. > :41:17.was quite into that. Her daughter had written part of that speech
:41:18. > :41:22.according to you, no doubt she was very congratulatory. There is
:41:23. > :41:26.something serious about that, there is the president wanting to get this
:41:27. > :41:30.right and you have to think that somebody in the oval office got him
:41:31. > :41:34.and said what we are doing so far is not working in terms of broadening
:41:35. > :41:37.our appeal. The Bay still loves us but we are not reaching other people
:41:38. > :41:43.and we are getting hammered in terms of review of how we are presenting
:41:44. > :41:46.cell. The president himself gave himself a C for communication. That
:41:47. > :41:50.is the president doing what it takes to improve that C grade and he has
:41:51. > :41:58.succeeded in doing so. Will he now go back to the office today?
:41:59. > :42:01.Apparently they are going to rolled out his travel order today but they
:42:02. > :42:04.have postponed it because they are basking in the glory of everything
:42:05. > :42:09.that has happened, some say. Quite right too, it was a good performance
:42:10. > :42:12.by all accounts. It is all starting to sound remarkably like a normal
:42:13. > :42:19.presidency, isn't it? Traditional and sober. Yes. Let's see how long
:42:20. > :42:23.it lasted and when he gets back his little device and starts tweeting
:42:24. > :42:26.again. That is the big question. John said it at the beginning of
:42:27. > :42:31.this programme, how long does the last? Which is the real deal more
:42:32. > :42:34.Trump? The one we saw last night, discipline, sober, acting like
:42:35. > :42:38.President, being a president or is it the one who is thin-skinned and
:42:39. > :42:42.attacked his critics and doesn't like any form of criticism? You the
:42:43. > :42:49.presidential fingers twitching, do you? I think its aims are keeping
:42:50. > :42:57.his device away from him. That his aides.
:42:58. > :43:00.That is One Hundred Days for now - my colleagues Laura Trevelyan
:43:01. > :43:02.and Anthony Zurcher will be taking your questions
:43:03. > :43:05.So do get in touch with your thoughts.
:43:06. > :43:07.For now though, from Katty Kay in Washington,
:43:08. > :43:12.and me Christian Fraser in London - goodbye.
