Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
It's a whole new tone from Donald Trump who gets good reviews | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The President is optimistic and conciliatory - saying he wants | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
The time for a small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
behind us. His wish list, A trillion dollars for | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
infrastructure spending, more money for the military AND tax | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
cuts are his priorities, US stocks soar after the speech, but | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Greenspan, tells us of his doubts about the President's | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
plans. America under Donald Trump will have | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
to fix it and pay for it all. Can to fix it and pay for it all. Can | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
you do it? Now. Ashfaq can he do it? No. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
In France, the centre-right candidate for the Presidential | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
election, Francis Fillon, is placed under formal investigation | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
for the alleged misuse of public funds, | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
but he rejects calls to step aside. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |

into the President's big speech | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
preparations. You're watching One Hundred Days | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
with Katty Kay in Washington It was a very different | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Donald Trump who addressed Congress last night - | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
less flame-thrower, more President. He was still tough on immigration | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
and terrorism but there was a surprising | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
splattering of optimism, too. In fact, so favourable | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
were the morning headlines - even from what he calls | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
the "failing" New York Times - that an often irascible President | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
could find nothing to moan about. Let's have a listen to some | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
of what he had to say. The vast majority of individuals | :02:15. | :02:32. | |
convicted of terrorism and terrorism-related offences, since | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
9/11, came From | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Boston to San Bernardino, to the Pentagon, and yes, even the World | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
Trade Center. We have seen the attacks in France, in Belgium, in | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Germany and all over the world. It is not compassion, but reckless, to | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
allow uncontrolled entry from places Those given the high honour of | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
admission to the United States, should support this country, | :02:56. | :03:15. | |
love its people and its values. We cannot allow a beachhead of | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
terrorism to form inside America. We cannot allow our nation to become | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
a sanctuary for extremists. Our foreign policy calls for direct, | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
robust and meaningful engagement It is American leadership based on | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
vital security influence, that we share with our allies all | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
across the globe. We strongly support Nato, an | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
alliance forged in the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
fascism and the Cold War, and defeated | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
communism. But our partners must | :04:04. | :04:18. | |
meet their financial obligations. And now based on our strong | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
and frank discussions, In fact, I can tell | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
you the money is pouring in. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
is with me. Much about the content of the speech | :04:36. | :04:50. | |
and the agenda but the headline was a question of tone. I want to show | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
you a tweet that has come from the Conservative commentator Kathleen | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
Parker. Those pictures of every sing in the back of the car, The Beast, | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
before he goes to Capitol Hill, fascinating. If you are the Rolling | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Stones playing one of your hits, you don't need to be hers. When you are | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
trying out new lines and new songs you have diverse. He was trying out | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
something we haven't seen before from Donald Trump. A new persona, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
inclusive, warm, positive, optimistic about the future, wanting | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
to bring people together, unifying. That was something we have not seen | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
from Donald Trump before, and the question people will be asking, like | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
you and me, was, was that a one-off, or will we see a new Donald Trump | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
emerging from the chrysalis of the first chaotic few weeks in the White | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
House? I'm sure that the blast saying to him today, look at the | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
reviews you're getting for that disciplined performance, you stuck | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
to the message that was written down for you, and it all worked out very | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
nicely. And he definitely likes good reviews. The people liked it and | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
Congress likes it. Let's have a look at Paul Ryan, the Conservative | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Leader of the house, nodding and clapping, this is all very good. He | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
is even clapping the $1 trillion infrastructure project. This is a | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
clip when he is asked about funding and infrastructure project that is | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
half the size of the one that the president has put forward. Take a | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
look at his reaction. Would you help president Donald Trump cast a $550 | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
billion infrastructure programme? Would that be something you would | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
help them achieve? That is not in the A Better Way. He's a man that | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
has got to corral the Conservatives and put promises into policy. Kenny | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
it? Last night it seemed like Mike Pence and Paul Ryan had been to the | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
same tailor and got a two-for-one offer on the same suit, shirt and | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
tie. Moving on from that, it is going to be difficult. These are | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
problems that every president has faced, not just Donald Trump, that | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
you can come forward with ideas like a $1 trillion infrastructure plan, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
much that it might be needed, but will it be passed with fiscally | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
conservative Republicans who want to be paying down the deficit? He | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
talked about paper may -- paid paternity leave. Though seem like | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
very democratic things to be advocating. He also called for the | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Democratic party to come into the tent, to embrace the changes he is | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
going to make. Is that going to happen? We heard a long wish list | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
last night. Turning that injury allergy might be something a little | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
more tricky. -- turning that into reality. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
With us now is the Kansas Secretary of State, | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
the former chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, Kris Kobach. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
A big supporter of Donald Trump. Did it go down well, where you were | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
sitting? Yes, I think it went very well. I was listening to your prior | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
commentary. It is important to put this speech in context. The State of | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
the Union message is the only one the president is required by the | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
constitution to give. It is a speech to be given to a joint session of | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
undress. The question is, has Donald Trump changed his demeanour or | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
manner of speaking? You will see all of the State of the Union messages | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
during the Trump presidency look like this because it's a specific | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
type of speech given to the legislature, where he lays out a | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
legislative agenda whilst as other speeches are speaking to the common | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
man, and it is a throng of thousands of people. He will probably give | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
that kind of speech to that audience and this kind of speech to Congress. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
I take that, but isn't the one lesson that comes out of this that | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
there is a lot more power in the presidency when you are talking with | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
optimism and in positive terms than the resent counterpunching and | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
attacking opponents and getting dragged into meaningless arguments? | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
I think there was something to be said for that, absolutely. You want | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
to remember, this is handing the ball to Congress because it's the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
first time he is laying out a legislative agenda, so he has to | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
project confidence and optimism that you can get it done and I will sign | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
a bill when it comes to my desk after you get it done. So in this | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
context that optimism is important and counterpunching doesn't serve | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
any purpose in the State of the Union message. Katy Clay here in | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Washington. I want to ask about the substance and the detailed in this | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
speech -- McCrone. There was cause for more spending on the military, | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
family leave, clean air, and they spoke about health care reforms he | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
spoke about keeping in access for people with pre-existing conditions | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
and also conditions on Medicaid. Is he going to run into problems when | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
he tries to keep Conservatives on board with them? I think you are | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
right with respect to spending on infrastructure. You will have a | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
natural clash between the Conservative impulse in Congress to | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
keep spending under control and an ambitious agenda laid out by the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
president. As far as the specifics on health care, and the repeal of | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
ObamaCare, I don't see conflict there. If you look at the Republican | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
alternatives, what we would like to be the case when ObamaCare is gone, | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
they include the things that Donald Trump was talking about, covering | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
people with pre-existing conditions. I don't see much fiction, there. On | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
the size of the infrastructure plan, the president is a deal-maker. He | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
has thrown out his initial offer, how about $1 trillion? At the end of | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
the day it is going to be something else. Another deal he was floating | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
yesterday was television news anchors here, was the idea of | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
proposing immigration reform with some kind of pathway to citizenship | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
for people who are currently here illegally. How would that go down | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
that his supporters therein Kansas? Any form of amnesty, where you are | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
having citizenship or not, giving legal staters to those in the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
country illegally, would not go down well with his ace, and that includes | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
people in Kansas, just because he campaigned very vigorously during | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
the entire cycle of the presidency campaign, enforcing our laws and | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
against amnesty. Whether there is some element of amnesty or somebody | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
that comes from Congress remains to be seen but in terms of where his | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
base is, his days once our laws in first and not to have an amnesty. | :12:04. | :12:16. | |
Katty, let me ask you, there was a different tone to the speech but is | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
there any clue about who actually wrote it? We were told with the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
inaugural speech that it was Steve Miller and Steve Bannon who were | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
behind it, and it was a much darker tone. Who wrote this one? The | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
striking thing about this speech that it was night and day compared | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
to the inaugural address. So the speculation is that somebody else | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
had their hands on this speech and wrote something that was effectively | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
much more conventional as a political speech. I have heard that | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
the Vice President got involved and that he wanted elements in there | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
with more calls for unity, that his daughter Ivanka and her aid got in | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
there on issues like child and family leave, so we have aired more | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
voices in there, so what is the president going to do going forward, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
listen to those voices that got him rave reviews or is his instinct more | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
that Armageddon type image of America we saw any and all address? | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
It will be fascinating to watch his evolution. You wonder if the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
positive spin on this might take him in a different direction. Let's turn | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
to France, now. Francois Fillon, the right wing | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
candidate to become the next President of France, | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
says he will fight on despite news today he will be placed under | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
formal investigation. He has been summoned to appear | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
before magistrates on March 15th, facing allegations he paid his wife | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
hundreds of thousands of euros of public money for parliamentary | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
work she might never have done. One of Mr Fillon's closest aides | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
resigned from the campaign today. He said the candidate had gone back | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
on his word to withdraw from the election if he was placed | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
under formal investigation. TRANSLATION: A number of my | :13:50. | :14:07. | |
political friends are talking about the political assassination. It is | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
in fact an assassination, because it is disproportionate, unprecedented, | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
by the choice of this calendar, it is not only me who is being | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
assassinated by these presidential elections, too. | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Let's get more from Benedicte Paviot, | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
UK correspondent for the French network, France 24. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
There will be many people who will point to that speech today and talk | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
about the arrogance of Francois Fillon. He is third in the polls, | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
he's facing all sorts of problems. Surely the right thing to do is step | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
aside and give the party a chance. We har 53 days away from the first | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
round of the presidential election on 23rd of April. Yes, there are a | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
lot of people wondering tonight, whether it is in France or abroad, | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
French nationals, who will vote in this election, and we really are | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
astonished that he is not quitting. He was in a defiant, combative mood. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
He was supposed to appear before the media at 8am at an event that there | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
is a must for any top French politician. There were rumours he | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
might not appear, then he appeared at half past 12 at lunchtime with a | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
delayed press conference at his headquarters. But we have moved on | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
from there. You mentioned in your introduction the fact that one of | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
his key advisers, a former rival in the French primaries, before | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
Francois Fillon became the official candidate, he resigned at the end of | :15:51. | :15:59. | |
the afternoon. Now another centrist party, the has suspended and will | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
make a decision next week. He is losing support, haemorrhaging | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
support, but he is adamant he will not quit. And, of course, what the | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
French media are absolutely talking about is, they are replaying the | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
fact that, back in August, when he was placed under formal | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
investigation, if he was, he said he would quit as a candidate. The | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
question is with this appears before a judge that he told the world about | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
come on 15th of March, his wife, Penelope, is also going to appear | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
before the judge. That is two days before all French presidential | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
candidates who wish to stand in this presidential election are actually | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
going to, it is the last date before they can say that they have the 500 | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
needed signatures to become a candidate in that election. It is | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
quite a year in Washington. Whatever Francois Fillon is saying, I won't | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
give up, surrender or withdraw, it looks like the end of his | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
presidential ambitions, one way or the other. What does it mean for the | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
Republican Party? Is it the end of their ambitions for this year | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
leased? The person who came second was Alain Juppe. Let's remember what | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
happened. Primaries are not a French phenomenon but an American one. It | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
is the first time that the French right has tried this and against all | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
expectations it was not Alain Juppe, another former Prime Minister, who | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
was favourite, not just within the centre-right but across the board | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
and in the polls for months, it was actually quite comfortably Francois | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
Fillon who won. He presented himself as somebody who was trustworthy and | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
wanted to preserve once. This is why it is not sitting well with his own | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
party. -- preserve France. 73% of people yesterday, just before this | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
happened, across the board in France, say politician should be | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
judged like any French citizen, no special rights, no stopping and | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
posing of the judicial process. But Francois Fillon has said, he has | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
made serious accusations against the judiciary, and the police, and he is | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
saying that he has been politically assassinated. So the people who | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
could benefit from this are Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron. We have | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
had so many twists and turns, who knows? It is a fascinating | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
collection. We will be wondering what happens to Marine Le Pen, | :18:37. | :18:37. | |
because of this. It's already been nicknamed | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
the "Trump bump." That's right - the Dow has | :18:41. | :18:41. | |
breached the 21,000 mark for the first time ever - | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
partly as a result of the President's address | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
to Congress and the expectation | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
of higher interest rates. On the economy, Donald Trump | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
promised tax cuts and a huge increase in | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
infrastructure spending. Here he is. To launch our national rebuilding, I | :18:57. | :19:08. | |
will be asking Congress to approve legislation that produces a one | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
jillion dollars investment in infrastructure of the United States, | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
financed through both public and private capital, creating millions | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
of new jobs. APPLAUSE | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Investors clearly liked what they heard. | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
What do the economic gurus make of it? | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan. I started by asking | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
for his reaction to the economic policy of the President's address | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
It was a very important change in style which I frankly hadn't | :19:45. | :19:57. | |
expected to see when he came into office. And I was shocked, first, | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
that he did it. If he stays off Twitter, I think the world would be | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
better off. But overall, it was a good performance relative to what he | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
had done in the past. He laid out quite a lot of spending proposals | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
that he would like. Infrastructure, military, family leave, where was | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
the revenue side to pay for it all? Hidden. This is the issue. That was | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
not a speech that was meant to be taken literally. One that you must | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
ask, how do you find various things, there was nothing in their about | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
strong economic growth, well, where's that coming from? Right at | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
the moment we're going through a period of significant stagnation, | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
for five years. And this is having a critical impact on the whole | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
psychology of the economy. A democratic society has to be | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
perceived to have growth, which all of sudden, looks to sink into | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
populism. And what we're looking at basically at this moment as far as I | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
can see is something very similar to what is happening in Latin America. | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Populism in that context is not an economic policy. It is basically a | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
cry of pain. The request is, somebody come and do something. As | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
great populists do, Donald Trump promises that it is going to be | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
fabulous. He is talking about, and he said it again yesterday, not in | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
his speech but during the course of the day, America under Donald Trump | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
will have 3% more growth. That's how he's going to fix it and pay for it | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
all. Can he do it? Now. Why see promising it, then, because then it | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
opens the door to disappointment. It is obvious. I think we underestimate | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
the impact on the marketplace of the issue of regulation. What the | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
markets are responding to is the elimination of this, not his other | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
policies, but the is a clean issue. The markets have responded well to | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
the President's address. In fact the markets have responded well ever | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
since he was elected. How far the canny financial markets become? Are | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
you concerned? I don't think it is too much of an exaggeration to say | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
that virtually all of the market response is the removal of | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
uncertainty. Turning our back to the direction of higher levels of | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
regulatory pressures. Which is not a surprise. Alan Greenspan, studiously | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
trying to stand in the middle, but do I pick up a hemp that he doesn't | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
think the numbers in this budget add up? -- pick up a hint. Alan | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
Greenspan has to be careful not to be too political but I did not hear | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
anything there apart from Donald Trump's the regulation plans, which | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
clearly the markets are loving, about saying this is going to be an | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
economic policy that makes any sense. Even if you can get it | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
through, but the numbers, perhaps, don't add up. | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
The British government has suffered its first | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
defeat on the Brexit Bill which is currently | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
The House of Lords voted in favour of an opposition-backed amendment | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
that would guarantee the future status of EU nationals | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
Britain is withdrawing from the EU's policy of free movement. | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
That leaves three million EU nationals currently in Britain, | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
and one million Britons who live in EU countries, in limbo. | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
and our chief political correspondent, Vicki Young. | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
358-256 in terms of votes. What does this mean for the Prime Minister's | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
timetable? This is a big defeat for the government, there is no doubt | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
about that. Theresa May hope to be able to offer this guaranteed to EU | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
citizens living here in Britain, but she does not want it to be a | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
unilateral action. She says it has got to be debated and negotiated | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
with other EU countries, because she's concerned about the British | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
people living elsewhere in the EU. The unelected House of Lords | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
tonight, they have not agreed with her, and in overwhelming fashion. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
The Conservative government put in all its supporters people like the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
novelist, Jeffrey Archer and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, making | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
rare appearances, but it was not enough, and the opposition parties | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
say that they have given a lesson to the government in morality, the | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
right thing to do, they say, and a lesson in humanity. What happens | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
now, they go back to the elected House of Commons. Many of them have | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
concerns. The question is whether they will agree with the House of | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
Lords, whether Theresa May can continue as she wants to, and | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
trigger Article 50, starting those for more Brexit negotiations by the | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
end of this month. Vicki, thank you for the moment. You're watching 100 | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
Days. Still to come, a warning for the City of London. We will hear | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
more from the former head of the US Federal Reserve about why he | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
believes Brexit will be bad for the UK economy. And the presidential | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
style preparation for public speaking. That is still to come on | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
100 Days. Good evening. Prepare yourself for a bumpy ride up to the | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
weekend. We have some wet and windy weather with things turning lively | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
tonight to England and Wales. Strong winds, and some rain and snow | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
around. Gales bashing the coast and we could see gusts of 50 miles an | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
hour even now across the South. And some heavy rain across parts of | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
Wales, northern England and the Midlands. Some of that might fall as | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
slowdown to quite low levels bringing some disruption. A quieter | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
night for the North, Northern Ireland in particular. Some wintry | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
showers across the north-west of Scotland in particular. Becoming dry | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
across southern counties, but wherever you are it will feel cold | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
and dry tonight. Those gales will soon subside but it will still feel | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
pretty blustery through the day. Rain and snow moving away from | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
central areas for a time, and many of us will settle into a half decent | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
day with a lot of dry weather as we get into the afternoon. Across the | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
south that is going to feel warm compared to today, plenty of | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
sunshine around and just the odd shower out to the west. A much | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
better afternoon across parts of northern England and North Wales | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
compared with the morning. Things settling down quite nicely. More | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
rain living large to the of Northern Ireland. The best of the sunshine | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
across eastern Scotland with further wintry showers in the West. It will | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
feel chilly in northern areas. Heading through the night, things go | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
downhill again across the South. A developing area of low pressure will | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
push bands of rain northwards across England and Wales as we get through | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
Friday, so a disappointing end to the week with some heavy rain for a | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
time. Some doubt about how far north that gets, but for most of Northern | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
Ireland and Scotland, we will probably get away with it. And low | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
pressure is going to dominate the weather right through the weekend. | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
If not this one, then another one coming in off the Atlantic. We know | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
what low pressure means. It means that rain is not going to be too far | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
away. Prepare for some wet weather at times and some strong winds. For | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
many of us, it will feel on the chilly side through this weekend. | :28:29. | :30:14. | |
Welcome back to One Hundred Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
A reminder of our top story: Has Donald Trump | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
In his first speech to Congress, he repeated many of his key | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
pledges on security, immigration, trade and tax. | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
But there are still questions on how will it be paid for. | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
And coming up - we'll hear more from the former head of the US Fed | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
about why he thinks Brexit will be bad for the UK economy. | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
Well, of course one of the hallmark issues of Donald Trump's presidency | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
so far has been immigration, and securing America's borders. | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
And during his Presidential address, he said that the United States "must | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
restore the rule of law" at its borders. | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
Well let's speak to Michael Chertoff - he's the former secretary | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
of Homeland Security and now Executive Chairman | :31:03. | :31:04. | |
Thanks for coming in. Let's talk about their immigration ban. It has | :31:05. | :31:14. | |
been stalled in the courts, the White House is working on a new one. | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
In your experience, how useful has that been in terms of American | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
national security or not useful? I do think it's worth periodically | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
taking a look at our Visa screening system to make sure we are | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
adequately capturing the information we need to keep out dangerous people | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
without restriction things. I think it is worthwhile taking a second | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
look at this. It is the first try had some legal problems and perhaps | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
was overbroad, I think they are looking at a much more narrowly | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
sculpted and much more sensible ban on the idea really is not to stop | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
travel altogether but to make sure you are identifying those locations | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
where there is a higher risk and then have these are vetting process | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
that captures those risks. There has been some criticism that this is a | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
targeted news limbs and if you add that to some of the language of the | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
president has use, -- Muslims. They repeated phrase of radical Islamic | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
terrorism. We had it last night. Is this something that could come back | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
to haunt America? That it is not worth taking this as a war against | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
Islam is that the president seems to be doing. It is clear we do not want | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
to see this as a war against Islam or suggest that Muslims almost | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
Muslims or the Islamic religion itself is a problem. We do have to | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
recognise that there is an ideology that claims the Islamic mantle that | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
is supporting a lot of terrorist activities we see in the region and | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
in Europe and elsewhere. And not to acknowledge that runs the risk I | :32:51. | :32:52. | |
think are bending over backwards. When I go to the region and I've | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
been in the region and I say how do you describe the terrace, they say | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
we call them jihadi 's or extremists in Glamis. Even people from the | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
region of the Arab world use that terminology and I think we have to | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
be realistic about it. Question. The language is important. If you look | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
at the section on immigration in the speech, it was one of the darkest | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
part of it because he talks about an environment of lawless chaos when he | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
is referring to immigrants and he talks about the vast majority of | :33:27. | :33:32. | |
those convicted of terror crimes are foreign-born which is not true if | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
you look at the evidence. Are you worried at all bad it is that kind | :33:37. | :33:39. | |
of language that is going to great more problems down the line? I think | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
the rhetoric does get a little overheated and that runs the risk of | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
first overly alarming the American people and secondly intimidating and | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
alienating people in the Muslim community in the US who are loyal | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
Americans. But again the basic point that we need to have an adequate | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
process for screening people from overseas who want to come to the US, | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
I think it is a fair point and even after 911, we had to do an enormous | :34:11. | :34:17. | |
amount of re-engineering our travel screening progress to keep that the | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
kind of operatives we saw on September the 11th. The extreme | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
vetting that you are talking about will be in this new travel order | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
which we expect sometime this week. What would you consider is that | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
extreme vetting if there was such a thing? What is fair for people | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
coming through American airports? I think if people are particularly | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
people who come from the Beazer waiver programme and if they have | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
travelled to one of those areas that Congress identified as areas where | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
there are currently terrace combat going on, it is fair to have these | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
people perhaps get a Visa in advance or get pulled aside and question | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
about what they were doing there and why. As you know in Britain, the | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
issue of foreign fighters, Europeans who go to Syria or other up to fight | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
with Isis is the increasing concern for security officials around the | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
world. I must ask you before you go, in 2016, you were a signatory along | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
with 50 other national security figures to a letter in which he said | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
that President Trump would be the most reckless president in American | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
history. Do you still agree with that? I think the president has made | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
some good appointments in his security area. I think we have to | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
withhold judgment. I would love to be proved wrong. You still have | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
concerns. I want to see how the policy develops. We are early in the | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
presidency. He has made good appointments. I will see what the | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
new travel order says. We saw the president recommit yesterday to | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
Nato. As he take the steps, I would love to be able to say I miss judged | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
it, I am happy to say he is doing a good job. We will get you back in. | :35:55. | :35:56. | |
Thank you for joining us. More now from that interview you did | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
earlier today with Former US Federal Federal Reserve Chairnan Alan | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
Greenspan. Katty Yes, I also spoke to him | :36:08. | :36:08. | |
about the prospects for the eurozone How liable do you think Greece's | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
position in the Eurozone is? I have been forecasting four years that | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
they would drop out or be forced out of the Eurozone and the reason to | :36:23. | :36:29. | |
remember is that they got into the Europe Gale Eurozone under false | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
pretences. Ultimately it has been Germany which has supported them, | :36:34. | :36:40. | |
directly and indirectly. It is going to be a very interesting question | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
about how long you can go on. It is an unstable economic system, it is a | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
small economy. It is doing more damage to the structure of the euro | :36:51. | :37:01. | |
than anything else but until that is resolved on my thought is that to | :37:02. | :37:09. | |
resolve it is to detach Greece from the Eurozone. But no one listens to | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
me. You sound surprisingly pessimistic. I found that way | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
because I am. At least I hope by some that way. Is there a scenario | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
in which Brexit could be good for the British economy but not good for | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
the European economy? I would be hard-pressed to find an example of | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
that. Brexit in my view has been bad or will be bad for the British | :37:34. | :37:45. | |
economy. Brexit is essentially, you know, it's American populism. I'm | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
convinced that when some of the number of the people start moving | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
out of London, and they are going through the motions down, that a new | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
photo, in a different direction. Alan Greenspan that. Brexit is Latin | :38:04. | :38:15. | |
American populism. What are you hearing on your side of the | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
Atlantic? I think people are quite pessimistic about Greece and | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
possibly Italy as well. We had a guest in the studio the other day | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
and he was making the point that the situation with Greece at the moment | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
is untenable unless somebody cuts the depth and at the moment there | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
doesn't seem to be any sign of that because Germany of course is heading | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
into an election and Germany is one of the biggest creditors. The | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
Americans are very frustrated about this, we heard from President | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
Trump's trade adviser speaking just last month saying Germany is keeping | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
the euro artificially low by keeping countries like Greece on board. | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
There are plenty people in America who would like Greece to be cut | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
loose the weaker countries can drift away and the euro becomes stronger | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
and therefore there would be a more equitable trading partnership | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
between Europe and the United States. It is interesting, a lot of | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
the people talking at the moment about Greece. Mr Trump clearly a | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
supporter of Brexit but not everyone here in Washington still the same as | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
the president does. Clearly the former chairman thinks differently. | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
Some of the day's other key developments: | :39:26. | :39:27. | |
investigation into the battle for Aleppo in Syria has | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
concluded that both sides were guilty of war crimes. | :39:31. | :39:32. | |
The report focuses on fighting last year, and says the Syrian air force | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
carried out an attack on a UN aid convoy. | :39:36. | :39:37. | |
Rebels are said to have used civilians as human shields. | :39:38. | :39:40. | |
More than a thousand jobs are thought to be at risk | :39:41. | :39:42. | |
at the car maker Ford, at its engine plant | :39:43. | :39:44. | |
The company revealed concerns about a slowdown in work in a leaked | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
Ford won't comment on the document, but says it "fully understands" | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
Two women have been charged with the murder of the half-brother | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
They face the death penalty if found guilty. | :39:57. | :40:06. | |
Malaysian police believe they wiped the deadly nerve agent "VX" | :40:07. | :40:08. | |
on Kim Jong Nam's face in Kuala Lumpur airport just | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
The women claim they thought they were taking part in a video prank. | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
Europe's most active volcano has erupted in a fiery show of lava. | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
Mount Etna, on the Italian island of Sicily, has been largely dormant | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
The volcano's latest eruptions began on Monday. | :40:23. | :40:34. | |
Authorities say there's no danger to nearby towns. | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
Etna's eruptions can last days or even weeks - | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
It was pretty spectacular. Do not get too close. Shall we take a quick | :40:39. | :40:55. | |
look at President Trump rehearsing last night? Here he is in the back | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
of his car. I do this before some of my performances. I like to get the | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
head movement in. Like that, a bit of that. | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
What do you think? I do this when I'm about to tell the children. She | :41:07. | :41:13. | |
was quite into that. Her daughter had written part of that speech | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
according to you, no doubt she was very congratulatory. There is | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
something serious about that, there is the president wanting to get this | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
right and you have to think that somebody in the oval office got him | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
and said what we are doing so far is not working in terms of broadening | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
our appeal. The Bay still loves us but we are not reaching other people | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
and we are getting hammered in terms of review of how we are presenting | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
cell. The president himself gave himself a C for communication. That | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
is the president doing what it takes to improve that C grade and he has | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
succeeded in doing so. Will he now go back to the office today? | :41:51. | :41:58. | |
Apparently they are going to rolled out his travel order today but they | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
have postponed it because they are basking in the glory of everything | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
that has happened, some say. Quite right too, it was a good performance | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
by all accounts. It is all starting to sound remarkably like a normal | :42:10. | :42:12. | |
presidency, isn't it? Traditional and sober. Yes. Let's see how long | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
it lasted and when he gets back his little device and starts tweeting | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
again. That is the big question. John said it at the beginning of | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
this programme, how long does the last? Which is the real deal more | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
Trump? The one we saw last night, discipline, sober, acting like | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
President, being a president or is it the one who is thin-skinned and | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
attacked his critics and doesn't like any form of criticism? You the | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
presidential fingers twitching, do you? I think its aims are keeping | :42:43. | :42:49. | |
his device away from him. That his aides. | :42:50. | :42:57. | |
That is One Hundred Days for now - my colleagues Laura Trevelyan | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
and Anthony Zurcher will be taking your questions | :43:01. | :43:02. | |
So do get in touch with your thoughts. | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
For now though, from Katty Kay in Washington, | :43:06. | :43:07. | |
and me Christian Fraser in London - goodbye. | :43:08. | :43:12. |
