:02:10. > :02:18.This leak is dubbed the old Severn Bridge is a mysterious name but
:02:19. > :02:23.raises questions about the inability of the spy agencies to protect
:02:24. > :02:29.documents in the digital age. Yes, it's a term WikiLeaks is used. Not a
:02:30. > :02:34.CIA term. They claim to have a trove of hacking tools which are being
:02:35. > :02:40.used by the CIA, extraordinary. Two warnings, the documents appear to be
:02:41. > :02:44.in an HTML format, easily to edit, they could put things in and distort
:02:45. > :02:49.the meaning of some of those documents. The other, of course, is
:02:50. > :02:54.the timing is rather strange because resident trumpets under such
:02:55. > :02:57.pressure on the Russian problem at the moment for people are asking
:02:58. > :03:03.about the question of the timing but let's assume it's genuine. A big
:03:04. > :03:08.community of the USA have top secret clearance, more than 800,000, a
:03:09. > :03:12.consequence of 911, the need to share intelligence after that but
:03:13. > :03:15.the more you share it, the more you open yourself up to the possibility
:03:16. > :03:21.that someone can do something catastrophic by way of a leak. From
:03:22. > :03:24.some of the report about these leaks, it reads like a rather bad
:03:25. > :03:29.spy novel. Let's dig a little bit into what is in them, what it tells
:03:30. > :03:34.us about what the CIA is capable of doing. Katty, if you are a novelist
:03:35. > :03:38.and you like the wilderness of mirrors concept of espionage, not
:03:39. > :03:46.knowing anything any more, this leak is bad news. Definitely confirming
:03:47. > :03:50.that paragon. We learn from it that the CIA has Bridge group, which
:03:51. > :03:55.takes malware and hacking techniques from other people, known groups of
:03:56. > :04:00.hackers, and uses it to make CIA hacks deniable. Apply that technique
:04:01. > :04:04.to a much larger base, on the assumption that a lot of the CIA's
:04:05. > :04:08.owner hacking techniques have been compromised as a result of this
:04:09. > :04:13.leakage, and you have a world in which the attribution of who did
:04:14. > :04:16.something, how important is that in the context of those Democratic
:04:17. > :04:22.National committee hacks we saw in the election in the USA, the
:04:23. > :04:25.attribution becomes less and less certain since everyone could be
:04:26. > :04:30.trading or using different hacking tools and there would be less of a
:04:31. > :04:34.signature to anyone country's cyber attacks. OK, Mark, thanks very much,
:04:35. > :04:37.lot to talk about. So lots to speak about with
:04:38. > :04:48.the former CIA director and former Thanks for joining us. Listening to
:04:49. > :04:53.what Mark was saying about these latest releases from WikiLeaks, how
:04:54. > :04:56.damaging is this to the CIA? First of all, Katty, I have got to say I
:04:57. > :05:03.only know what I'd just heard and quickly read in a few news reports,
:05:04. > :05:06.the agency has not yet confirmed or denied the authenticity so I've got
:05:07. > :05:12.to put that out there full stop now, if what I have read is true, then
:05:13. > :05:16.this seems to be an incredibly damaging leak in terms of the
:05:17. > :05:21.tactics, techniques, procedures and tools that were used by the Central
:05:22. > :05:26.intelligence agency to conduct legitimate foreign intelligence, in
:05:27. > :05:31.other words, it's making my country and my country's friends laissez.
:05:32. > :05:37.What you do about people inside the intelligence community, 800,000 with
:05:38. > :05:43.top security clearance, 21,000 in the CIA alone, someone somewhere got
:05:44. > :05:49.hold of these documents and decided to pass on. How do you stop that
:05:50. > :05:54.happening? That appears to be the story, Katty. I don't want to jump
:05:55. > :05:58.to conclusions. Let's see how this plays out. There are other
:05:59. > :06:00.possibilities but let's take that as a working hypothesis and you've
:06:01. > :06:09.raised an incredibly difficult question. Just the sheer number, how
:06:10. > :06:17.do you make sure everyone of them remains a loyal American citizen,
:06:18. > :06:21.the British security services and so on. Beyond that, Katty, there is
:06:22. > :06:25.another dynamic at work here. In order to do this kind of stuff we
:06:26. > :06:31.have to recruit from a certain demographic and I don't mean to
:06:32. > :06:33.judge them at all. A group of millennials, and related groups, who
:06:34. > :06:40.simply have different understandings of the words loyalty, secrecy and
:06:41. > :06:46.transparency than certainly my generation did and so we bring these
:06:47. > :06:50.folks into the agency, good Americans, I can assume, but again,
:06:51. > :06:53.culturally, they have different instincts than the people who made
:06:54. > :07:00.the decision to hire them and we may be running into this different
:07:01. > :07:07.cultural approach that we saw with Jason Manning, Edward Snowden and
:07:08. > :07:09.now with a third actor. OK, pesky millennials for sublets talk about
:07:10. > :07:16.someone older than that, president Tom. And his accusation that
:07:17. > :07:22.President Obama tapped as phone -- President Trump. You have suggested
:07:23. > :07:29.this as a presidency manufacturing crises. When there is a real crisis,
:07:30. > :07:33.and you know from being in the CIA, crisis will hit from North Korea or
:07:34. > :07:37.somewhere else, is this administration in a position to deal
:07:38. > :07:41.the crisis right now? You've asked my opinion and, from the outside
:07:42. > :07:45.looking in, and I stand to be corrected by my very good friends
:07:46. > :07:51.who have senior positions inside the Trump administration but, right now,
:07:52. > :07:56.no, we don't. The metaphor I use is we are out there for the pre-game
:07:57. > :08:00.warm up before a football game and we are chaotic just trying to loosen
:08:01. > :08:06.up our muscles. The other team hasn't even gotten onto the field
:08:07. > :08:10.yet and no one is kicked a football. This is self-imposed. Unforced
:08:11. > :08:16.errors. And contention before any foreign actor has seriously tried to
:08:17. > :08:21.threaten us with provocation. So I am somewhat concerned. It may turn
:08:22. > :08:26.out that, once you have got an external enemy on which to face,
:08:27. > :08:32.some of this internal self-imposed chaos will die down but, so far, not
:08:33. > :08:35.looking good. General Hayden Comet Christian Fraser in London. I'm
:08:36. > :08:39.interested in what you are saying there. Are you suggesting this
:08:40. > :08:46.president doesn't have the temperament you would want in a
:08:47. > :08:52.commander-in-chief? I commented on that in the campaign, Christian. You
:08:53. > :08:56.can see what happens if a man becomes president, how then does he
:08:57. > :09:01.adapt to the demands of the office and, so far, I don't think it's an
:09:02. > :09:05.fair to say he seems to be trying to reshape the mores of the office
:09:06. > :09:11.rather than reshaping himself to the traditional mores we have seen from
:09:12. > :09:17.other presidents. Let me just add, he is selected incredibly
:09:18. > :09:22.powerfully, strong team of individuals. The National Security
:09:23. > :09:28.adviser, it's hard to picture about a group of Americans on which the
:09:29. > :09:32.president could rely. And now the question simply becomes, will the
:09:33. > :09:35.president rely on this group of Americans? One other thing,
:09:36. > :09:41.Christian. We've got a whole bunch of folks not present for duty. About
:09:42. > :09:47.500-600 political appointees, who need confirmation from Congress and
:09:48. > :09:51.the Federal bureaucracy. Congressmen are slow in confirming that the
:09:52. > :09:56.administration has been incredibly slow in nominating. They've only
:09:57. > :10:00.nominated 40 or 50 so here we have the president complaining that the
:10:01. > :10:04.bureaucracy is not responding but he doesn't have his political
:10:05. > :10:09.appointees in place to guide the bureaucracy according to his wishes.
:10:10. > :10:12.One other thing I want to talk to about, Christopher Steele, the
:10:13. > :10:18.former MI6 operative who put together the so-called dodgy
:10:19. > :10:22.dossier, he has reappeared today. We thought he was in hiding. He
:10:23. > :10:28.appeared in Belgravia in London and was doorstep by a journalist and
:10:29. > :10:32.said he was back at work. As the former director of the CIA, is he
:10:33. > :10:35.someone you would want to speak to face-to-face? Do you think that
:10:36. > :10:39.might have already happened? Maybe you could comment on what you think
:10:40. > :10:44.about this dossier and what we found out about it. Sure, I suspect it's
:10:45. > :10:49.already happened because the offer the dossier to the USA and frankly
:10:50. > :10:53.out of a sense of concern, not out of any business model he was
:10:54. > :10:57.pursuing. He'd already been paid for his work by other folks. I've been
:10:58. > :11:04.told by my British friends that he was a solid MI6 officer, so he's put
:11:05. > :11:09.together this report. What it is we now need to do, Christian, if this
:11:10. > :11:15.was an American intelligence product, we would have its stamp on
:11:16. > :11:20.the top of the page, this is raw information, not finished
:11:21. > :11:24.intelligence. The way you get it to finish intelligence is you look at
:11:25. > :11:30.each data point and each source and you look at them and say, would be a
:11:31. > :11:34.source logically be expected to know this? Has this source reported
:11:35. > :11:38.reliably to us in the past? Do we have other bits of information that
:11:39. > :11:43.confirm or deny this particular piece? And you work your way slowly
:11:44. > :11:47.through the entire document. Now you're moving in the direction of
:11:48. > :11:51.something you would call intelligence rather than raw
:11:52. > :11:54.information. I think his participation in that would help
:11:55. > :12:00.make the process faster and more accurate. It's really fascinating
:12:01. > :12:06.talking to you. Thank you very much for talking to us. Come and talk to
:12:07. > :12:09.us again in the future. Director-general Michael Hayden.
:12:10. > :12:11.The author of Playing to the Edge - American Intelligence
:12:12. > :12:23.Worth a read. He said the rub people working in the intelligence agencies
:12:24. > :12:26.at the moment with different interpretations of loyalty, secrecy,
:12:27. > :12:31.transparency. I was really struck by that because, really, that has been
:12:32. > :12:35.the theme of the first 50 days of this presidency? Yes, you mentioned
:12:36. > :12:38.Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden and the CIA is going to look into
:12:39. > :12:44.and try to find out who is behind this latest dump to WikiLeaks of CIA
:12:45. > :12:51.documents. But the problem here is broader and the general was hinting
:12:52. > :12:55.at it, the breakdown, frankly, in relationships between this White
:12:56. > :12:59.House and the intelligence community and, at some point, the White House
:13:00. > :13:02.will need the intelligence community and will need them to give them an
:13:03. > :13:06.analysis and information and if the White House carries on its war with
:13:07. > :13:10.US intelligence is not going to get the level of cooperation it might
:13:11. > :13:11.need at some future date. Yes, and the outside world looking in has
:13:12. > :13:14.concerns as we expressed. Republicans have been itching to get
:13:15. > :13:17.rid of Barack Obama's health care reforms ever since they became
:13:18. > :13:19.law in 2010. Now they have their man
:13:20. > :13:22.in the White House and a golden chance to replace what became
:13:23. > :13:25.known as Obamacare. But their own proposals
:13:26. > :13:26.haven't exactly received Some Republicans fear people on low
:13:27. > :13:31.incomes could lose their insurance. Others, who were hoping
:13:32. > :13:33.for something more radical, have dismissed the plans as
:13:34. > :13:38.Obamacare-lite. Rajini Vaidyanathan's been looking
:13:39. > :13:49.at the new Health Care Bill. I am also calling on this Congress
:13:50. > :13:53.to repeal and replace Obamacare. APPLAUSE
:13:54. > :13:55.What does a replacement for Obamacare look like?
:13:56. > :14:00.Some things have stayed the same. You're still entitled to coverage if
:14:01. > :14:04.you have a free existing medical condition and you can stay on your
:14:05. > :14:09.parents insurance up until the age of 26. There's also no limit on how
:14:10. > :14:14.much insurers will pay out for medical bills over a person's
:14:15. > :14:18.lifetime. But here are some of the key changes. Is no lorry compulsory
:14:19. > :14:23.to sign up for health insurance so individuals and businesses won't get
:14:24. > :14:26.find any more if they don't take out health insurance policies. Instead,
:14:27. > :14:30.if they let their plan laps, they could face surcharges and up to 30%
:14:31. > :14:37.from their insurers. Government subsidies for health care are out
:14:38. > :14:42.and tax credits are in. This time they are based on your age rather
:14:43. > :14:46.than your income. But the expansion of Medicaid, the government funded
:14:47. > :14:50.programme which rubs people on low incomes or disabilities, will be
:14:51. > :14:53.stopped. And women's health clinics like planned parenthood will no
:14:54. > :14:58.longer receive government funding unless they agree to stop performing
:14:59. > :15:02.abortions. Likewise, if you could health policy which covers
:15:03. > :15:06.abortions, you won't get a tax credit. So some of the core
:15:07. > :15:08.components of Obamacare will remain in this replacement, but the
:15:09. > :15:12.government's role in subsidising health care has been stripped down.
:15:13. > :15:14.We still don't know how this new plan will affect access to health
:15:15. > :15:16.care, or its cost. Well among the congressman
:15:17. > :15:18.on the committee which will first consider this bill
:15:19. > :15:20.is Republican Buddy A short time ago I spoke
:15:21. > :15:31.to him on Capitol Hill. Congratulations, you've now released
:15:32. > :15:35.the Republicans health care plan but there seems to be a hitch which is a
:15:36. > :15:39.lot of Republicans don't like it, you have a string of conservative
:15:40. > :15:43.think tanks and saves no good, members of your own caucus, your own
:15:44. > :15:48.Republican study committee, and Senator Mike Leigh, a Republican,
:15:49. > :15:51.who says this is exactly the kind of backroom dealing week criticised
:15:52. > :15:56.Democrats for. How are you ever going to get this past? Keep in mind
:15:57. > :15:59.our whole goal was to produce something more accessible, more
:16:00. > :16:03.affordable and is patient centred. I'm really happy with the plan we
:16:04. > :16:11.have, are there parts of it I would like to see go further? Sure, that's
:16:12. > :16:17.always going to be the place but overall, it offers the opportunity
:16:18. > :16:19.to have affordable and accessible patient centred health care. You
:16:20. > :16:22.can't be thrilled with the opposition to it from within your
:16:23. > :16:28.own party. We haven't even got to Democrats yet. We never expected to
:16:29. > :16:32.have cooperation from the Democrat anyway so that's beside the point
:16:33. > :16:35.but, yeah, there are those in our party who are concerned and we are
:16:36. > :16:39.going to mark this bill up to committee and see if there are
:16:40. > :16:43.things we can improve upon and, if not, we will put forward the best
:16:44. > :16:47.bill we can for the American people. We've got to do something. Obamacare
:16:48. > :16:52.is collapsing, failing, and this is something we couldn't have sit
:16:53. > :16:57.around and let it lapse on its own but we decided to do the responsible
:16:58. > :17:03.thing and decided to be proactive and to go in and help and fix the
:17:04. > :17:07.health care system that's what we're trying to do here, bring the free
:17:08. > :17:12.market back into the health care system. Obamacare now becomes Trump
:17:13. > :17:17.care, and that means the Republican party is America's health-care
:17:18. > :17:21.system politically, not without hurdles for you, not without
:17:22. > :17:25.potential dangers? And that's OK. Look, the most important thing here
:17:26. > :17:29.is to make sure that we repair the health care system which has been
:17:30. > :17:33.destroyed by Obamacare. That's the most important thing. Yeah, we are
:17:34. > :17:39.taking a risk, we understand that, and that's part of our
:17:40. > :17:43.responsibility. 22 million people now have insurance who didn't and
:17:44. > :17:49.Obamacare is polling more popular than it ever has done. Look what is
:17:50. > :17:52.happening. I can't understand how you can look at what happened just
:17:53. > :17:59.this weekend in Tennessee where you had 16 counties which don't have a
:18:00. > :18:04.carrier whatsoever. You have five states in our country which have one
:18:05. > :18:06.insurance security there and that's not competition. That's not what is
:18:07. > :18:12.going to bring down health care costs and give people choice is.
:18:13. > :18:16.Congressmen, let me go global on this because there seems to be the
:18:17. > :18:20.quandary repeated American administration tried to fix and just
:18:21. > :18:23.don't manage to. Other Western countries have health care systems
:18:24. > :18:27.that cost a lot less and proved to be a lot more popular than the
:18:28. > :18:31.American one. Why is this so difficult for the United States to
:18:32. > :18:35.get right? Well, it's not difficult. I would sue the two that we have the
:18:36. > :18:39.greatest health care system in the world, there's nowhere else you'd
:18:40. > :18:47.want to be if you're thick of an American. If you have insurance. It
:18:48. > :18:50.needs to be patient centred and affordable but Obamacare put
:18:51. > :18:54.barriers between patients and the medical profession and that's what
:18:55. > :18:58.we've got to make sure we do, make it more patient centred, and if you
:18:59. > :19:03.look at you'll see we are increasing health savings, giving tax credits
:19:04. > :19:08.to people in order to buy insurance. We want to make sure people have
:19:09. > :19:11.control over the health care, not this cookie cutter approach from
:19:12. > :19:15.Washington which says we know best. We are going to tell you what you
:19:16. > :19:17.need to do with your health care. Health care is very personal and
:19:18. > :19:24.people want to have control over their health care. OK, Buddy Carter,
:19:25. > :19:26.thank you very much for joining me. Plenty of contentious debate in the
:19:27. > :19:31.UK Parliament and Congress. I keep telling you, Katty,
:19:32. > :19:33.the UK is on the verge But parliament is still voting
:19:34. > :19:37.on the legislation that would There was another vote in the upper
:19:38. > :19:40.chamber tonight the Lords on the Brexit Bill which could upset
:19:41. > :19:43.the timetable a little. Let's discuss it with our chief
:19:44. > :19:55.political correspondent Vicki Young. So they have voted, overwhelmingly,
:19:56. > :19:59.to give Parliament more say on a deal but this is an amendment which
:20:00. > :20:03.now has to go back to the Congress, so at this ping-pong goes on but in
:20:04. > :20:08.the Commons in the Lords. Who winds? That's a very good question but the
:20:09. > :20:12.Prime Minister has said she wants to trigger those Brexit negotiations by
:20:13. > :20:16.the end of March. Downing Street had insisted all along she will be able
:20:17. > :20:20.to do that but the problem is there are some MPs in the Anderlecht House
:20:21. > :20:26.of Lords who want to attach conditions on her before she goes

:24:05. > :24:09.screen, who do you think were sitting there on his right shoulder?
:24:10. > :24:13.Have a look at that portrait. I know, you have to wonder whether
:24:14. > :24:17.somebody in his advance team didn't tell him that when he got there he
:24:18. > :24:21.would be right in front of a picture of none other than Hillary Clinton

:24:28. > :24:32.Hillary Clinton in the portrait. At least she's still there. Maybe she's
:24:33. > :24:35.just part of the furniture, I don't know. She still up there on the wall
:24:36. > :24:42.and was of course an important part of the White House history so she
:24:43. > :24:47.remains there. You have to wonder, we've not heard much from Hillary
:24:48. > :24:51.Clinton recently or Barack Obama, but you must wonder what she makes
:24:52. > :24:54.of this. We talk a lot about how the press might be blowing this out of
:24:55. > :24:58.proportion and we're talking about chaos but we just have the former
:24:59. > :25:03.director of the CIA on the programme saying that the United States, under
:25:04. > :25:07.this administration, is not prepared and ready to face an international
:25:08. > :25:10.threat to this country. That's not us, that somebody who knows
:25:11. > :25:14.intelligence and what it means to deal with national security. You
:25:15. > :25:16.have to wonder what Hillary Clinton might be thinking. Yes, a penny for
:25:17. > :25:19.those thoughts. You're watching 100
:25:20. > :25:21.Days from BBC News. Still to come for viewers on the BBC
:25:22. > :25:24.News Channel and BBC World News, as the French presidential campaign

:25:42. > :26:13.on 100 Days from BBC News. After a fine day across many parts
:26:14. > :26:16.of the UK, a spell of rain to come overnight and some of it will be on
:26:17. > :26:21.the heavy side. After it's gone through we begin a push of mild air
:26:22. > :26:24.in across the UK said temperatures widely into double figures, some
:26:25. > :26:30.into the mid teens but, yes, that comes after a spell of rain. Here is
:26:31. > :26:34.sunshine, partly cloudy skies and West Yorkshire Police cloud around
:26:35. > :26:39.in Cornwall, closer to the Atlantic frontal system which is coming in.
:26:40. > :26:46.Son in Cornwall, Western Scotland, saw rain this afternoon. As it
:26:47. > :26:52.pushes east across the UK, and the night goes on, freshening wind. The
:26:53. > :26:56.higher you are in northern England, especially into Scotland, some snow
:26:57. > :27:00.for a time. For many of us, it will dry up later in the night but rain
:27:01. > :27:04.and showers into northern Scotland and temperatures are bit up-and-down
:27:05. > :27:08.overnight. It is going to be milder than it was last night so why will
:27:09. > :27:13.take you to 8am, strong to gale force winds in northern Scotland.
:27:14. > :27:19.50-60 mph gusts and plenty of showers moving through some of those
:27:20. > :27:23.heavy. Not many reaching the Southern belt. Northern Ireland,
:27:24. > :27:26.England, dry with sunny spells throughout the day. North Wales and
:27:27. > :27:30.the Midlands should brighten up through the day but to the south of
:27:31. > :27:33.that, South Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and southern England it
:27:34. > :27:37.will be mainly cloudy and there will be outbreaks of rain during the day.
:27:38. > :27:41.Pulses of energy working along so although it's not going to be
:27:42. > :27:44.raining all the time, there will be spells of rain moving through with
:27:45. > :27:47.dry interludes. You can see where the best of the sunshine will be
:27:48. > :27:54.across northern England, North Wales and Northern Ireland. Good sunny
:27:55. > :27:57.spells and Northern Ireland. Showers moving across Scotland. Temperatures
:27:58. > :28:01.in double figures, particularly with sunshine, and that will make for a
:28:02. > :28:05.present-day. Wednesday evening, still outbreaks of rain affecting
:28:06. > :28:09.southern England and still showers in northern Scotland and it could
:28:10. > :28:15.well be first thing on Thursday before they ease. Not so wet in
:28:16. > :28:19.southern England but mainly cloudy for Southern counties. Rain in the
:28:20. > :28:23.far south-west of many places dry, bright and sunny on Thursday.
:28:24. > :28:27.Looking ahead to Friday, it is still mild but, by Friday, plenty of cloud
:28:28. > :30:17.around for the weekend and it's looking unsettled.

:30:33. > :30:48.If what I have read is true, then this seems to be an incredibly

:31:55. > :32:01.Thank you for being with us. The front Nationale is riding high in
:32:02. > :32:07.the polls but when we look at the polls it suggest that you will be
:32:08. > :32:14.defeated in the next round by either Emmanuel Macron or Francois Fillon.
:32:15. > :32:22.Yes, but one can say that the campaign did not really begin yet.
:32:23. > :32:26.There were all these problems involving scandals or so-called
:32:27. > :32:35.scandals and so on. I think when it will come to the comparison of the
:32:36. > :32:41.programmes of each candidate, it will change and if everybody thinks
:32:42. > :32:51.and the polls that you mention, say that Marine Le Pen will stand for
:32:52. > :32:54.the final round, for example, if she is opposed to Emmanuel Macron,
:32:55. > :33:02.Emmanuel Macron will have to defend his proposals and I think it will
:33:03. > :33:09.appeared very clearly that it is the really interesting debate between, I
:33:10. > :33:16.would say, globalism on one side, Emmanuel Macron, and defending
:33:17. > :33:22.independence, freedom and national identity on the other side. How do
:33:23. > :33:26.you think the election of Donald Trump, particularly the policies he
:33:27. > :33:37.is pushing, how do you think that is changing the political debate in
:33:38. > :33:52.France? We are not vessels of Mr Trump. But we are happy with his
:33:53. > :34:01.election. First of all, because he won the election against the
:34:02. > :34:04.political establishment. There is a difference of course, because for
:34:05. > :34:08.many people however much Marine Le Pen has tried to rebrand your party,
:34:09. > :34:12.for many people, the party as nationalists, far right, it is
:34:13. > :34:19.racist and it has some pretty unsavoury people amongst its
:34:20. > :34:27.supporters. Well, I cannot understand that. People believe, if
:34:28. > :34:35.they follow, if they read the Guardian or the independent, and
:34:36. > :34:45.newspapers like that, but it is not true, we are not racist, there are
:34:46. > :34:49.people from various origins and from French areas, even people who have
:34:50. > :34:58.been elected, people from different religions, there are Jewish people,
:34:59. > :35:07.Muslims in our ranks. You want a Muslim band? No, we do not want to
:35:08. > :35:12.ban the Muslim religion, but we want to ban radical Islamists, that is
:35:13. > :35:18.for sure. Over the future be for France if the national front won?
:35:19. > :35:26.Marine Le Pen stated very clearly, we want to reverse the actual trend
:35:27. > :35:34.of the European Union, that is absolutely crazy, tried to build the
:35:35. > :35:39.kind of a Euro aquatic superstate, which the people do not want. Thank
:35:40. > :35:48.you very much for your time. You are welcome. That was fascinating. I
:35:49. > :35:51.want to ask you a question that relates both to Emmanuel Macron and
:35:52. > :35:54.Marine Le Pen. It seems to be emerging that one of the biggest
:35:55. > :36:00.issues in this campaign, as it was in the United States and the Brexit
:36:01. > :36:03.vote is the issue of immigration. At one point does Emmanuel Macron have
:36:04. > :36:07.to take a clear stand on the immigration issue if he is going to
:36:08. > :36:10.carry supporters with them? At the moment it seems like he is trying to
:36:11. > :36:19.please everyone on an issue where it is impossible to do that. I think
:36:20. > :36:21.their national front will try and focus minds if they get through to
:36:22. > :36:26.the second round. They are seen success in some of their oral
:36:27. > :36:32.heartlands, informing territories, in places that you and I both go to
:36:33. > :36:37.on our summer holidays, these places where we have seen people disappear
:36:38. > :36:40.from villages. It is those kinds of villages, they might be busy in the
:36:41. > :36:46.summer but in the winter they are empty, where business disappears
:36:47. > :36:49.where they are doing well. Yes, I think Emmanuel Macron is going to
:36:50. > :36:55.have to put on record, more than he has put out so far in this
:36:56. > :37:00.manifesto. He is an untested element in this election. These are two
:37:01. > :37:02.outsiders, we got rid of the President and former Prime Minister
:37:03. > :37:08.she have the experience and the question is although the polls say
:37:09. > :37:11.it is 60-42 Emmanuel Macron if he gets through, but can she highlight
:37:12. > :37:16.some of the things were potentially he is a lot weaker and potentially
:37:17. > :37:20.immigration is one of those issues. I think you have just given away our
:37:21. > :37:25.holiday sick is there. They all know that we go to the south of France
:37:26. > :37:28.now. Sorry about that. Not together, by the way!
:37:29. > :37:30.In Iraqi, elite forces fighting the so-called Islamic State say
:37:31. > :37:32.they've captured key buildings in the city of Mosul.
:37:33. > :37:35.These pictures come from the city centre and show Iraqi forces
:37:36. > :37:39.The army says it's recaptured the main government complex,
:37:40. > :37:41.the central bank and the museum, where three years ago the militants
:37:42. > :37:59.The Iraqi Prime Minister said he planned to visit Washington later
:38:00. > :38:04.this month. The US has begun deploying missile system in Korea.
:38:05. > :38:07.It is designed to shoot down incoming missiles. China warned it

:38:57. > :38:58.of the American flag was seen in marches across the US
:38:59. > :39:02.That's despite the picture being taken more than a decade ago.
:39:03. > :39:05.We've been speaking to Munira about how it feels to be
:39:06. > :39:25.To me, the picture represents empowerment. It represents
:39:26. > :39:30.inclusion, it represents America. The original photo was shot in 2007.
:39:31. > :39:41.The concept behind the original photo was to shoot a Muslim woman
:39:42. > :39:47.wearing a hijab but instead of the fabric of a normal non-print fabric,
:39:48. > :39:51.the fabric was an American flag. To have it shot in the proximity of
:39:52. > :39:57.ground zero at a time when there was still a lot of questioning of the
:39:58. > :40:02.allegiance of Muslim Americans. As someone who is American and as
:40:03. > :40:08.someone who is a Muslim, that concept seemed the most visually
:40:09. > :40:12.compelling image of a Muslim woman. Whether I choose to wear a hijab or
:40:13. > :40:19.not is not really relevant at that point. I feel a connection to that.
:40:20. > :40:25.The photographer contacted me, basically a month before the
:40:26. > :40:30.inauguration, early December and he said, so that famous photograph of
:40:31. > :40:36.hours, and artists contacted me to try and recreate it. I did not know
:40:37. > :40:44.how prominently it would become. I was down in DC and I went to a
:40:45. > :40:48.rally. Every shade and every gender using this as their protest image.
:40:49. > :40:53.They could have used so many other protest images but they decided to
:40:54. > :41:01.use this all over the world. I liked that it is the protest image, but it
:41:02. > :41:07.is not a partisan ideal. It is just what this country represents. Even
:41:08. > :41:13.if I did not know that that was me, I think I still would have felt
:41:14. > :41:16.proud of a Muslim woman being depicted so positively, it is
:41:17. > :41:20.necessary for a lot of people to see. At that moment, I thought
:41:21. > :41:28.things might not be so bad after all! The expression itself, in the
:41:29. > :41:36.photo, you can see right there, you're not going to move me from
:41:37. > :41:41.here. I am not going to be moved. Munira Ahmed speaking about becoming
:41:42. > :41:47.the image of protest. It is unfortunately political, but it has
:41:48. > :41:48.become an issue of Democrats versus Republican.
:41:49. > :41:51.Now remember the row about the size of the crowds attending President
:41:52. > :41:55.Yesterday the National Parks Service, in response to a freedom
:41:56. > :41:57.of information request, released a series of photos taken
:41:58. > :41:59.that day, as well as corresponding photos from President Obama's
:42:00. > :42:06.We can show you two of them on screen now.
:42:07. > :42:09.On the left is a photo from 2009 while on the right
:42:10. > :42:29.Let me remind you of what Donald Trump said about these pictures a
:42:30. > :42:34.few weeks ago. We had a massive fields of people. Packed. I get up
:42:35. > :42:38.this morning and I turn on one of the networks and they showed an
:42:39. > :42:44.empty field. I said, wait a minute, I made a speech, I looked out, the
:42:45. > :42:49.field looked like a million, 1,000,000 and a half people, they
:42:50. > :42:53.showed a field... He was not happy. In fairness, it was raining, it was
:42:54. > :42:58.a different day and he makes that point and when he is looking out, he
:42:59. > :43:02.can probably only see crowds. The photographs come out after he made
:43:03. > :43:07.that statement. I think we just have to let those photographs speak for
:43:08. > :43:11.themselves. It is clear that the clouds -- crowds were bigger. That
:43:12. > :43:14.is it from us. We will be back tomorrow.
