:03:08. > :03:11.was plenty of blame to go around, as we sat over the last few days to try
:03:12. > :03:15.and figure out what happened, what happened is Washington one. The one
:03:16. > :03:18.thing we learned this week is that Washington was a lot more broken
:03:19. > :03:24.than President Thom thought it was. Pot of those was the Thom
:03:25. > :03:29.highlighted, immediately after the vote was told. -- part of those was
:03:30. > :03:37.what President Tom highlighted. We had no Democrat support. They were
:03:38. > :03:43.not going to give was a single vote. Now, rallying support from across
:03:44. > :03:48.the aisle might be crucial. I think it is time for our folks to come
:03:49. > :03:52.together, and I also think it is time to potentially get a few
:03:53. > :03:57.moderate Democrats on board. How'd you win over the Democrats without
:03:58. > :04:02.further alienating the right of the Republican Party? To that, there was

:04:24. > :04:28.the way people do business, but Republicans have been fighting with
:04:29. > :04:31.each other. It is a very important reset, that Donald Trump is now
:04:32. > :04:36.going to have to recognise that he's going to have to get some Democrats
:04:37. > :04:41.to come with him is he's going to have some legislative victories.
:04:42. > :04:46.Isn't the implications of that is that he will lose the freedom
:04:47. > :04:51.caucus? I think those 42 members are essential for getting a lot of
:04:52. > :04:56.things through what Nancy Pelosi can deliver a lot of head Democrats, I
:04:57. > :05:00.would look for a pair, something that could have bipartisan report
:05:01. > :05:03.and allow the president to get the victory. He needs a victory and
:05:04. > :05:06.needs to be up to say to the American people that this is why
:05:07. > :05:12.they elected him and this is what he's doing. I just wondered where
:05:13. > :05:15.this leaves the key relationship between the president and the House
:05:16. > :05:21.Speaker, Paul Ryan, who he needs to get these things through. The
:05:22. > :05:25.relationship is very good, you had a lock on the president this weekend
:05:26. > :05:30.about how hard he said Paul Ryan was working, how much he thought he was
:05:31. > :05:34.his partner in these endeavours and so, when they look at the wreckage
:05:35. > :05:37.from what happened with the health had a buckle, I think the two of
:05:38. > :05:42.them will have a closer relationship in the days ahead for the more
:05:43. > :05:45.distant one. We have had with the tensions are within the Republican
:05:46. > :05:50.party, if the president were to cut loose this freedom caucus, the right
:05:51. > :05:55.wing of the park Bury party, and join hands with some of the
:05:56. > :06:00.Democrats towards the centre, how likely is it that they would want to
:06:01. > :06:04.play ball with him? -- the right wing of the party. A fairly decent
:06:05. > :06:09.chance, and the other group is called the Tuesday group you are a
:06:10. > :06:14.group of moderate members of the House of Representatives, with a lot
:06:15. > :06:17.of the attention focused on the Freedom Caucus, I think the
:06:18. > :06:23.president has a lot of chance to pick out these moderates. I want to
:06:24. > :06:30.ask you one quick final question, Steve Bannon was reported to have
:06:31. > :06:33.said to the Freedom Caucus, those elected on the right of the party
:06:34. > :06:38.that this is not a negotiation you have to do is you are told. I'm
:06:39. > :06:42.going to guess that probably did not go down too well from people who are
:06:43. > :06:46.elected hearing it from someone who wasn't. It is funny, some of the
:06:47. > :06:56.staff members I think they think they are more powerful than what
:06:57. > :06:58.they are and I do not imagine an elected representative will take too
:06:59. > :07:01.kindly to an unelected bureaucrat telling him what to do. Great to
:07:02. > :07:03.have you with us. I am wondering if part of the problem here with the
:07:04. > :07:08.timescale, looking at some of the figures. The length of time it took
:07:09. > :07:14.previous Administration is to thought through complex bills like
:07:15. > :07:20.this one... They have Obamacare it took 187 days. It took Reagan
:07:21. > :07:24.something like 323 day to get tax reform through which they will take
:07:25. > :07:28.on next, is better deal on earth that could have put the freedom
:07:29. > :07:33.caucus and the moderates together in just 17 days? The benign
:07:34. > :07:39.interpretation of that is that no nobody could do that. It was far too
:07:40. > :07:43.quick, they were setting themselves on offer to timetable, they wanted
:07:44. > :07:47.to show massive momentum, I hate to talk as out of the reason why you
:07:48. > :07:50.are sitting in that studio in London and I'm sitting in the studio
:07:51. > :07:56.Washington, but who cares whether things get done in a hundred days,
:07:57. > :08:00.it is what you do that leaves a lasting legacy. On the other hand,
:08:01. > :08:04.they have had seven years to think about what they want to do to
:08:05. > :08:09.replace Obamacare, the publican party has committed itself to its
:08:10. > :08:12.appeal and replacement ever since. -- the Republican party. You would
:08:13. > :08:16.think they could have worked some of these things out. And does it take
:08:17. > :08:21.the shine of the President because he was supposed to be and sold
:08:22. > :08:27.himself as the negotiator in chief has that showing gone? I tell you
:08:28. > :08:32.what, often journalists set the bar, set the height at which a politician
:08:33. > :08:37.has to get over, we did not set it Donald Trump set it, he said it will
:08:38. > :08:40.be easy to fix, I'm going to make it much cheaper, poor people will have
:08:41. > :08:45.insurance, it is going to be fantastic and we will do it quickly.
:08:46. > :08:49.So, you set the bar for himself. What has happened is that he has set
:08:50. > :09:01.the bar and gone stumbling over it and all impact on his face. Have the
:09:02. > :09:04.shine,? Yes. It will take awhile to show they have learned the lessons

:14:08. > :14:11.monitoring, what you think this change in the last few weeks? We
:14:12. > :14:17.have seen with the west Mosul campaign a huge increase in alleged
:14:18. > :14:24.civilian casualties from Coalition actions. Not just the blood across
:14:25. > :14:29.the border in Syria as well. Nat Derry -- not just bought Mosul. We
:14:30. > :14:34.are seeing the highest number of them have ever been recorded. The
:14:35. > :14:39.Mosul around 70% of the allegations are what we grade as contested, they
:14:40. > :14:46.may have been claimed to be Coalition actions but they may be by
:14:47. > :14:51.artillery, or by so-called Islamic State themselves using took bombs or
:14:52. > :14:55.mortars or other means. So, we know a large number of civilians are
:14:56. > :14:59.dying in Mosul as the report made clear, what we do not necessarily
:15:00. > :15:04.know is what is killing them. Generally speaking, most of the fire
:15:05. > :15:08.going in the Mosul right now is incoming fire from the Coalition,
:15:09. > :15:13.from Iraqi forces and unfortunately that is what is killing most of the
:15:14. > :15:17.civilians right now, we think. We have heard Donald Trump say that we
:15:18. > :15:21.have got to be less politically correct in the way we fight these
:15:22. > :15:26.battles, do you think there has been any change in the rules of

:15:36. > :15:41.the rules of think agent has not changed, but Iraqi official keep on
:15:42. > :15:45.saying that they have. It is easier to get an American air strike now
:15:46. > :15:48.than it was a few months ago. That gets more complicated as we do not

:15:53. > :16:01.to the very fierce recent battle in East Mosul -- to Trump coming in.
:16:02. > :16:05.One of the criticisms at the time was that they weigh not getting the
:16:06. > :16:09.table as support that they needed, so we may be seeing an increase that
:16:10. > :16:14.is to do with Trump will changes or it could be a response to that early
:16:15. > :16:21.battle that came just as Donald Trump came in. There is a clear
:16:22. > :16:25.picture in Syria, that we are seeing an enormous increase in reported
:16:26. > :16:29.civilians deaths and we're looking at bombings of towns and villages
:16:30. > :16:33.that are lightly populated compared to Mosul, that indicates that the
:16:34. > :16:38.strikes are more frequent and that they are taking more risk with
:16:39. > :16:42.civilians. I think what we're seeing in Syria is more of an indication of
:16:43. > :16:46.the rule change under Donald Trump, but if there is a change, the
:16:47. > :16:50.Pentagon and the White House being very tight lipped about it. Yes, it
:16:51. > :16:58.is subtle. Thank you very much the moment.

:17:47. > :17:49.repairs or upgrades, the greater the risk and the higher
:17:50. > :17:54.But, that is exactly what the US has been doing,

:23:47. > :23:52.the zone source, we do not know who that source was, or we didn't. It
:23:53. > :23:55.undermines the committee's independence, but now we are

:24:20. > :24:22.that is the source of the information, maybe it was summoned
:24:23. > :24:27.from the White House gave in the information that he went back to the
:24:28. > :24:33.White House... Which signifies what? It is turning into a bizarre spy
:24:34. > :24:36.mystery. In the sense that, he got information from the White House
:24:37. > :24:41.that event back to the White to muddy the water, or what was the
:24:42. > :24:46.significance of that? I would love to be able to give you a definitive
:24:47. > :24:50.answer to that, no idea. In two we hear from the man himself to explain

:26:18. > :26:22.enjoyed some sunshine, but some others did not. This was the rather
:26:23. > :26:26.gloomy scene earlier this afternoon. Boy, did that have an effect on the
:26:27. > :26:30.temperatures, some others did not get above seven or 8 degrees. That
:26:31. > :26:36.was the exception, most places enjoyed lots of fantastic sunshine
:26:37. > :26:40.no more shows than the Highlands of Scotland. -- no more so. This was
:26:41. > :26:47.the scene looking westwards on the coast of Ayrshire. A dry evening.
:26:48. > :26:51.Overnight some of the low cloud will become extensive. Must of mist an
:26:52. > :26:56.mag around particularly in the east. Some players will keep these clear
:26:57. > :27:01.skies and where it happens it will be a cold night, as we've seen in
:27:02. > :27:09.some country spots, in the west of Scotland,. Some showers turning up
:27:10. > :27:11.across parts of Wales... Very scattered affairs and some heavy
:27:12. > :27:17.ones putting up to Northern Ireland and into parts of Scotland. Ahead of
:27:18. > :27:20.that, much cloudy day for most of Scotland and it will be much cooler
:27:21. > :27:25.than has been the last few days. There is the name pushing into the
:27:26. > :27:29.south-west. The odd shower passing into parts of the Midlands and
:27:30. > :27:33.eastern England. They will be very scattered, many places avoiding them
:27:34. > :27:37.but they could be quite Scott. It will feel pleasantly warm. Some
:27:38. > :27:42.brightness. Wales and south-west brightness. Wales and south-west
:27:43. > :27:46.England, but not as we head into the evening, some dampness turning up
:27:47. > :27:54.here. This is tomorrow evening. Damp and dreary across western areas.
:27:55. > :27:58.Quite gusty wind across northern areas. Further south and east, not
:27:59. > :28:02.much rain, plenty of cloud but it will be a mild feeling day in most
:28:03. > :28:07.places. As we looked through the week, most northern and western
:28:08. > :28:11.areas are going to catch the rain, succession front come in and
:28:12. > :28:15.something could be quite heavy. This one front, briefly will introduce
:28:16. > :28:18.some really warm air from the neck continent. See how the map turned
:28:19. > :28:23.yellow and orange, here. Somebody somewhere across the more South
:28:24. > :28:27.eastern part of England could be knocking on the door at 20 degrees,
:28:28. > :30:07.whether 70 and west it is cloudy and breezy and wetter.
:30:08. > :30:10.Welcome back to One Hundred Days, with me Jon Sopel in Washington
:30:11. > :30:20.Donald Trump's spokesman has said the White House 'learned a lot'

:30:46. > :30:47.the European Union on Wednesday that Britain intends to leave,
:30:48. > :30:53.Today Theresa May has been in Scotland where
:30:54. > :30:55.she has been meeting the Scottish First
:30:56. > :31:02.It's the first face-to-face meeting since the Scottish National Party
:31:03. > :31:05.demanded a new independence referendum.
:31:06. > :31:11.Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith reports.
:31:12. > :31:18.Theresa May knows this could be awkward, she's here to talk about
:31:19. > :31:24.her Article 50 letter. She is here to press had armed for a referendum
:31:25. > :31:28.on independence, so no handshakes, no press conferences, just a couple
:31:29. > :31:32.of souvenir photographs but neither woman looks like they are enjoying
:31:33. > :31:37.it. I start contrast, their first meeting eight months ago, then it
:31:38. > :31:41.was called a good working relationship. Now Nicola Sturgeon
:31:42. > :31:47.says the PM has not listened to her in Brexit, Mrs May says she will
:31:48. > :31:50.reject any request for a vote on Scottish independence. My position
:31:51. > :31:53.is not going to change, that now is not the time to be talking about a
:31:54. > :31:57.second independence referendum because it wouldn't be fair on the
:31:58. > :32:01.Scottish people to ask them to make that decision when the facts aren't
:32:02. > :32:04.clear and also because now is the time when we need to pull together
:32:05. > :32:09.to make sure we get the best possible deal for the UK including
:32:10. > :32:16.the people as Scotland's. I'm told that the meeting was businesslike,
:32:17. > :32:19.cordial and probably the then kissed meeting yet. They were offering more
:32:20. > :32:23.powers for the Scottish Parliament, they hoped but they say they got
:32:24. > :32:27.moody and on that. And when Nicola Sturgeon told the Prime Minister how
:32:28. > :32:31.she plans to make the formal request race got it referendum, the Prime
:32:32. > :32:32.Minister said simply you know my position on that. The first
:32:33. > :32:41.ministers says, it should be clear on 18 to 24
:32:42. > :32:45.months' time which is when the Scottish Government wants to hold
:32:46. > :32:52.that referendum. We both agree now is not the time to give people that
:32:53. > :32:57.choice. Since we both appear to be in agreement as to when the terms of
:32:58. > :33:03.Brexit will become clear, that would underline my view, that is the right
:33:04. > :33:09.time. In a speech, she said she wants to build a more united nation.
:33:10. > :33:12.But it is Scottish independence on the agenda, at the Holyrood
:33:13. > :33:14.parliament tomorrow and they will almost certainly vote to call for a
:33:15. > :33:18.second referendum. Well, the polls say support
:33:19. > :33:21.for Scottish independence has grown since the last vote in 2014,
:33:22. > :33:24.but still the majority wish I've been speaking to Scotland's
:33:25. > :33:28.first home-grown billionaire Sir Tom Hunter and I asked him
:33:29. > :33:41.what he would make of another vote. My feeling is that people in
:33:42. > :33:48.Scotland are kind of fed up. There has been too much politics, one of
:33:49. > :33:54.the great things about the 2014 referendum, was the whole country
:33:55. > :33:57.got engaged. Everybody really got engaged in the politics and the
:33:58. > :34:04.debate and we had a referendum and we had a result. I think people are
:34:05. > :34:09.a bit fed up, and I'm not quite sure we're going into same level of
:34:10. > :34:14.engagement if another referendum comes quite so soon. Our economy is
:34:15. > :34:18.lagging behind the rest of the UK, we are about one third behind the
:34:19. > :34:26.rest of the UK in terms of economic growth. Our education system, we
:34:27. > :34:30.have had the worst results ever. And we have had this government in place
:34:31. > :34:38.now for ten years. I think one of the problems and I think we are in
:34:39. > :34:43.difficult times for democracy, is that there is no effective political
:34:44. > :34:48.opposition in Holyrood. And there is no effective political opposition in
:34:49. > :34:51.Westminster either. So I think, these are dangerous times for
:34:52. > :34:57.democracy. Are you suggesting from what you say that the SNP and others
:34:58. > :35:00.have used this criticism, are concentrating too much on
:35:01. > :35:05.independence at the expense of some of the biggest issues for society? I
:35:06. > :35:10.think it has always been very convenient for most governments in
:35:11. > :35:14.Scotland, to blame the bogeyman in Westminster. Or perhaps, in Theresa
:35:15. > :35:20.May's case, the bogey woman in Westminster. And that takes the
:35:21. > :35:25.scrutiny, on what has actually been happening in Scotland, we have had
:35:26. > :35:30.devolved powers now for some time, we have had an SNP government for
:35:31. > :35:35.the past ten years, so I tend to listen less to what people say, and
:35:36. > :35:43.really watch what people do. And if you look at the track record here in
:35:44. > :35:47.Scotland, it's not that great. Were about to trigger Article 50 and
:35:48. > :35:51.Brexit, the Brexit negotiation will be under way, how is that going to
:35:52. > :35:54.affect your business and how would that affect your business in
:35:55. > :35:59.Scotland were for a period outside its biggest market, the rest of the
:36:00. > :36:05.UK and also the rest of the European Union? We are entering Brexit. We
:36:06. > :36:11.are entering the unknown, no country has ever left the European Union. So
:36:12. > :36:17.from a business point of view, that adds to uncertainty. I guess I am an
:36:18. > :36:22.optimist, so we are going to have to make the most of the situation we
:36:23. > :36:29.find ourselves in, but in terms of is this a reason that Scotland
:36:30. > :36:35.should leave the rest of the UK, it may be but I wouldn't be asking that
:36:36. > :36:40.question right now. We need to wait and see what Brexit actually means,
:36:41. > :36:44.and we must always remember in Scotland, we do four times as much
:36:45. > :36:52.business with the rest of the UK, than we do with Europe. So often and
:36:53. > :36:55.this was the case last night, the debate is framed by oil and the
:36:56. > :37:00.price of oil which we know is rock bottom at the moment, but surely
:37:01. > :37:04.Scotland as an independent country could attract new business, it could
:37:05. > :37:08.be a more nimble economy? Yes I mean the last time already news and the
:37:09. > :37:15.taxation flowing from that was central to it, since the last
:37:16. > :37:21.referendum, oil revenues have dropped 97%. It is quite incredible.
:37:22. > :37:26.But they may reverse, they are never going to get back to where they
:37:27. > :37:30.work, but there is news of another oil find off the west coast of
:37:31. > :37:36.Scotland just this weekend. But I think, what we should be talking
:37:37. > :37:42.about is how we built Scotland's economy into the robust economy
:37:43. > :37:46.which we need. If we look at what was talked about in the SNP
:37:47. > :37:51.conference we should be, they hardly talked about the Scottish economy
:37:52. > :37:58.and what measures we need to take to build a robust and sustainable
:37:59. > :38:01.healthy economy. Sir Tom I am very grateful for your time, thank you
:38:02. > :38:03.for coming on the programme. Some interesting
:38:04. > :38:09.talks from Sir Tom Hunter about education Scotland, he thinks that
:38:10. > :38:14.the SNP are putting world their desire for independence in front of
:38:15. > :38:18.things that would benefit Scotland. We are going to put those things
:38:19. > :38:27.tomorrow to Satanic Salmond, the former SNP leader, so that it will
:38:28. > :38:34.be interesting to get his thoughts. STUDIO: If that would be very
:38:35. > :38:35.interesting. -- STUDIO: That would be.
:38:36. > :38:37.The Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny,
:38:38. > :38:39.has appeared in court in Moscow, after his arrest on Sunday
:38:40. > :38:42.The court rejected the request and Navalny was sentenced
:38:43. > :38:45.Our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, was
:38:46. > :38:52.Well I'm standing outside a Moscow court has in the spring blizzard, a
:38:53. > :39:02.short while ago, the Russian opposition activist, Navalny was
:39:03. > :39:07.found guilty of organising a mass protests and he was fined the
:39:08. > :39:10.equivalent of $350 and then he was found guilty of disobeying the
:39:11. > :39:16.police and poor that he was sentenced to 15 days in jail. This
:39:17. > :39:22.police van Baha'i and me has arrived to whisk him off to jail. -- has
:39:23. > :39:27.arrived. Some of his supporters held good luck signs, hoping he could see
:39:28. > :39:34.them. But then police officers came up to them and took them away.
:39:35. > :39:39.Earlier I managed to ask Mr Navalny how significant he thought
:39:40. > :39:49.yesterday's protests had been. TRANSLATION:
:39:50. > :39:56.It was Navalny who called the Russians onto the streets, and
:39:57. > :40:00.people came across the country, in dozens of towns and cities, in their
:40:01. > :40:05.thousands. The biggest protest was in Moscow. That was on Pushkin
:40:06. > :40:12.Square, where there were thousands of people. That protest was broken
:40:13. > :40:16.by Russian riot police. I think these protests have cemented Navalny
:40:17. > :40:19.as the unofficial leader of the Russian opposition. Meanwhile the
:40:20. > :40:26.Kremlin today said it respected people's rights to voice her opinion
:40:27. > :40:28.but it said that it believed that some of them had been unsanctioned
:40:29. > :40:33.and therefore illegal. A deadline for forming
:40:34. > :40:35.a new power-sharing government in Northern Ireland has
:40:36. > :40:38.passed without agreement. The two biggest parties
:40:39. > :40:40.in the devolved government, the Democratic Unionists
:40:41. > :40:42.and Sinn Fein, blamed each other for the failure of three
:40:43. > :40:45.weeks of negotiations. More time's been set aside to help
:40:46. > :40:48.reach an agreement - if not, it could lead to a return
:40:49. > :40:57.of direct rule from London. A 100-kilogram gold coin has been
:40:58. > :41:01.stolen from a museum in Berlin. The coin, which is 53 centimetres
:41:02. > :41:10.wide and three centimetres thick, features a portrait
:41:11. > :41:13.of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin, called the "Big Maple
:41:14. > :41:16.Leaf" and made in Canada in 2007, is said to have a face value
:41:17. > :41:19.of at least a million dollars. But by weight alone, it's worth more
:41:20. > :41:36.than four times that. I want to talk, just before we
:41:37. > :41:40.finish, only word is question is leading and it is not to a glamorous
:41:41. > :41:47.golf resort. I have been doing some sums today, I only know that it is
:41:48. > :41:53.him by his golf club and shoes. It says here that he has been on the
:41:54. > :41:59.golf course 21 out of 66 days in office and the Democrats don't like
:42:00. > :42:02.it. The they don't like it at all, one is Donald Trump said when he
:42:03. > :42:07.became President he would be so busy being president that he wouldn't
:42:08. > :42:11.have time like that dissolute person Barack Obama who spent a bit of time
:42:12. > :42:15.on the golf course, he would be working all the time. The second
:42:16. > :42:19.thing is, this idea, that when you are at the White House, everyone is
:42:20. > :42:25.clocked in and clocked out, there is a record of who he is met. Not sue
:42:26. > :42:29.much this time. Is that any different to having a private e-mail
:42:30. > :42:34.server, if you are away from the White House and off the books for a
:42:35. > :42:37.third of the time, how is that different? As a posy would say disk
:42:38. > :42:44.completely different because there is no secret communications going on
:42:45. > :42:48.that are outside of kind of things. But it is a valid point, it is a
:42:49. > :42:53.rhetorical question that I am not going to answer. That is 100 days,
:42:54. > :43:00.if you would like to get in touch, you can do so using twitter. That is
:43:01. > :43:11.it from us today, do join us at the same time tomorrow.
