The White House vows to enact major tax reform and shake up how | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
the government is run and act against so-called "sanctuary cities" | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
But how much of Donald Trump's policy agenda is now in peril? | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
The battle for Mosul as Iraqi forces renew their offensive there's alarm | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
about civilian casualties caused by US air strikes. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
That is an inaccurate weapon it might be good for the tempo | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
of the military operation, but it isn't necessarily good | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Also, the London terror attack - police say they have found no link | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
with so called Islamic State or Al Qaida. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
But the attacker was "interested in Jihad." | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Meanwhile, Khalid Masood's mother admits crying when she heard | :01:02. | :01:07. | |

Theresa May drops in on Nicola Sturgeon to discuss how | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Scotland and Brexit might work together, but did their face-to-face | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
And, off the books - Democrats demand to know | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
who President Trump has been meeting during his frequent golf club trips. | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
Hello and welcome to 100 Days, with me Jon Sopel in Washington | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
It was on the campaign trail that Donald Trump said "we're | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning". | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Well, fatigue is definitely settling in and for the US president, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
No, quite the opposite - the question we're all asking | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
The health care bill is in tatters, tax reform is up | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
in the air, his son in law, and senior White House advisor, | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
we find out today is to be questioned by the Senate, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
in relation to those alleged links between Russia | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Much of the talk today here in Washington Christian | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
is about Mr Trump resetting his agenda and just 67 days in. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It has been a wild few days for the presidency - | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
Monday morning at the White House and the president, believed was the | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
last week behind him as he meets female entrepreneurs. And this | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
message... You are really and inspiration to everybody, men and | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
women. A lot of men out there are not doing what you are able to do. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Because last week he was meeting this lost, the right wing house | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
leading culprits, or white, all middle age and all causing him to | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
lose his health care Bill. A former member of that group and now part of | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
President... 'S team attended to explain the defeat. I think there | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
was plenty of blame to go around, as we sat over the last few days to try | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
and figure out what happened, what happened is Washington one. The one | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
thing we learned this week is that Washington was a lot more broken | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
than President Thom thought it was. Pot of those was the Thom | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
highlighted, immediately after the vote was told. -- part of those was | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
what President Tom highlighted. We had no Democrat support. They were | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
not going to give was a single vote. Now, rallying support from across | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
the aisle might be crucial. I think it is time for our folks to come | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
together, and I also think it is time to potentially get a few | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
moderate Democrats on board. How'd you win over the Democrats without | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
further alienating the right of the Republican Party? To that, there was | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
no easy answer. With me now is the former adviser to President George | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Deby Bush Terry --With me now is the former advisor | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
to President George W. Donald Trump said he would change | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
strategist, Ron Christie. Donald Trump said he would change | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
the way people do business, but Republicans have been fighting with | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
each other. It is a very important reset, that Donald Trump is now | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
going to have to recognise that he's going to have to get some Democrats | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
to come with him is he's going to have some legislative victories. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Isn't the implications of that is that he will lose the freedom | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
caucus? I think those 42 members are essential for getting a lot of | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
things through what Nancy Pelosi can deliver a lot of head Democrats, I | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
would look for a pair, something that could have bipartisan report | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
and allow the president to get the victory. He needs a victory and | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
needs to be up to say to the American people that this is why | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
they elected him and this is what he's doing. I just wondered where | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
this leaves the key relationship between the president and the House | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Speaker, Paul Ryan, who he needs to get these things through. The | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
relationship is very good, you had a lock on the president this weekend | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
about how hard he said Paul Ryan was working, how much he thought he was | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
his partner in these endeavours and so, when they look at the wreckage | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
from what happened with the health had a buckle, I think the two of | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
them will have a closer relationship in the days ahead for the more | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
distant one. We have had with the tensions are within the Republican | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
party, if the president were to cut loose this freedom caucus, the right | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
wing of the park Bury party, and join hands with some of the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Democrats towards the centre, how likely is it that they would want to | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
play ball with him? -- the right wing of the party. A fairly decent | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
chance, and the other group is called the Tuesday group you are a | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
group of moderate members of the House of Representatives, with a lot | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
of the attention focused on the Freedom Caucus, I think the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
president has a lot of chance to pick out these moderates. I want to | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
ask you one quick final question, Steve Bannon was reported to have | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
said to the Freedom Caucus, those elected on the right of the party | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
that this is not a negotiation you have to do is you are told. I'm | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
going to guess that probably did not go down too well from people who are | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
elected hearing it from someone who wasn't. It is funny, some of the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
staff members I think they think they are more powerful than what | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
they are and I do not imagine an elected representative will take too | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
kindly to an unelected bureaucrat telling him what to do. Great to | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
have you with us. I am wondering if part of the problem here with the | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
timescale, looking at some of the figures. The length of time it took | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
previous Administration is to thought through complex bills like | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
this one... They have Obamacare it took 187 days. It took Reagan | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
something like 323 day to get tax reform through which they will take | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
on next, is better deal on earth that could have put the freedom | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
caucus and the moderates together in just 17 days? The benign | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
interpretation of that is that no nobody could do that. It was far too | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
quick, they were setting themselves on offer to timetable, they wanted | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
to show massive momentum, I hate to talk as out of the reason why you | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
are sitting in that studio in London and I'm sitting in the studio | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
Washington, but who cares whether things get done in a hundred days, | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
it is what you do that leaves a lasting legacy. On the other hand, | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
they have had seven years to think about what they want to do to | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
replace Obamacare, the publican party has committed itself to its | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
appeal and replacement ever since. -- the Republican party. You would | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
think they could have worked some of these things out. And does it take | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
the shine of the President because he was supposed to be and sold | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
himself as the negotiator in chief has that showing gone? I tell you | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
what, often journalists set the bar, set the height at which a politician | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
has to get over, we did not set it Donald Trump set it, he said it will | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
be easy to fix, I'm going to make it much cheaper, poor people will have | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
insurance, it is going to be fantastic and we will do it quickly. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
So, you set the bar for himself. What has happened is that he has set | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
the bar and gone stumbling over it and all impact on his face. Have the | :08:50. | :09:01. | |
shine,? Yes. It will take awhile to show they have learned the lessons | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
from this and will be out get their legislation passed. OK, he needs a | :09:05. | :09:05. | |
win. In the Middle East, Iraqi forces | :09:06. | :09:05. | |
are pounding Western Mosul trying It is not going to wealth. -- it is | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
not going very well. rocket launchers to target | :09:12. | :09:23. | |
IS militants and the civilians Islamic State may be in retreat | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
but they are putting Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
has sent this report. This is the Iraqi solution | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
to an offensive that has stalled over the last week | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
or so, attack again. It feels as if the air war over | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
Mosul is intensifying. The gunship pilots fly low, | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
they seem confident Every day a few thousand more people | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
come walking out of the areas of Mosul still held by the Jihadists | :09:55. | :10:06. | |
who call themselves Islamic State. Many said they have been used | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
as human shields, but the response - TRANSLATION: They destroyed | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
our homes, our cars, Entire families are gone, | :10:21. | :10:36. | |
they are under the rubble. TRANSLATION: A lot of people died, | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
children, women and men. Houses collapsed on them, | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
I lost both my sons. Some very sophisticated modern | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
weapons in this fight and these locally made rockets | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
are used over short range. That is an inaccurate weapon, | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
it might be good for the tempo of the military operation, | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
but it is not necessarily good But, they want to win this | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
battle and they are using Most of the people arriving | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
in government-held territory are bussed out to camps, | :11:27. | :11:40. | |
many said IS forced This woman said she was not escaping | :11:41. | :11:42. | |

My children, nine of my family killed. | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
They call them smart bombs, but this is stupid. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
The people of Mosul have been left with impossible choices, | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
risk death in their own homes or risk death crossing a front line. | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Iraq has been shattered by the years of wars | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
and sectarian conflict that | :12:43. | :12:43. | |
followed the US and British invasion, it might be too late | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
We're joined now by Chris Woods who runs Airwars - | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
an organisation that tracks the air strikes against the so-called | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
Islamic State and other groups in Iraq, Syria and Libya. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Good to see you. We have had a good illustration from Germany there as | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
to why it is so difficult to keep track of Hazzard is underground. -- | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
front Jeremy Corbyn. How do you monitor our -- a good | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
illustration from Jeremy Corbyn. How do you measure who is killed? We | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
look at mostly Iraqi social media, the information is disbursed but a | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
lot of information does come out from the perspective of the | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
civilians, it can be videos, testimonies, obituaries or so on. We | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
pulled the material together and make a provisional assessment about | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
the quality of those claims and then we try and work with the military 's | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
two festival drawback attention to these allegations and see whether | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
they are valid or not. -- to first of all. We are talking in the | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
context of some fairly murky reports from the west of Mosul, where scores | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
of people were killed reportedly by a Coalition air strike. From your | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
monitoring, what you think this change in the last few weeks? We | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
have seen with the west Mosul campaign a huge increase in alleged | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
civilian casualties from Coalition actions. Not just the blood across | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
the border in Syria as well. Nat Derry -- not just bought Mosul. We | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
are seeing the highest number of them have ever been recorded. The | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Mosul around 70% of the allegations are what we grade as contested, they | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
may have been claimed to be Coalition actions but they may be by | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
artillery, or by so-called Islamic State themselves using took bombs or | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
mortars or other means. So, we know a large number of civilians are | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
dying in Mosul as the report made clear, what we do not necessarily | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
know is what is killing them. Generally speaking, most of the fire | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
going in the Mosul right now is incoming fire from the Coalition, | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
from Iraqi forces and unfortunately that is what is killing most of the | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
civilians right now, we think. We have heard Donald Trump say that we | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
have got to be less politically correct in the way we fight these | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
battles, do you think there has been any change in the rules of | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
engagement for US forces when they oppose keeping these aspects? A | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
difficult question, the word we keep on getting from the Pentagon is, no, | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
the rules of think agent has not changed, but Iraqi official keep on | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
saying that they have. It is easier to get an American air strike now | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
than it was a few months ago. That gets more complicated as we do not | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
know if it is related to Kurt Cochran coming in all the response | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
to the very fierce recent battle in East Mosul -- to Trump coming in. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
One of the criticisms at the time was that they weigh not getting the | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
table as support that they needed, so we may be seeing an increase that | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
is to do with Trump will changes or it could be a response to that early | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
battle that came just as Donald Trump came in. There is a clear | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
picture in Syria, that we are seeing an enormous increase in reported | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
civilians deaths and we're looking at bombings of towns and villages | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
that are lightly populated compared to Mosul, that indicates that the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
strikes are more frequent and that they are taking more risk with | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
civilians. I think what we're seeing in Syria is more of an indication of | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
the rule change under Donald Trump, but if there is a change, the | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Pentagon and the White House being very tight lipped about it. Yes, it | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
is subtle. Thank you very much the moment. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
Returning now to the Trump administration's 'to-do' list. | :16:59. | :16:59. | |
We've already heard what happened to health care but what does that | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Among the big-ticket items he promised during | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
the campaign was fixing the country's crumbling | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
It could even be an issue that wins bipartisanship support - | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
but as James Cook reports from America's tallest dam, | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
at Oroville in Northern California, it will be no easy task. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
The tallest dam in the richest nation on earth is no | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Last month after heavy rain it overflow channels began to crumble. | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
Nearly 200,000 Californians had to flee. | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
Now the water level has fallen, the damage is laid bare. | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
What happened here at the Oroville Dam is a wake-up call | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
in a country where infrastructure spending has been out | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
The lesson is simple - the longer you put off | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
repairs or upgrades, the greater the risk and the higher | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
But, that is exactly what the US has been doing, | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
more than 2000 American dams are rated as both deficient and high | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
hazard, which means failure would lead to loss of life. | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
I think we have been doing what we thought was enough, | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
but clearly we have missed a few things. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
When I say we, it is a global it is the regulators, | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
it is our third-party independent consultants, and that is, | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
a catastrophic event but we are all learning from this. | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
New York venue jersey dedicate the huge Lincoln Tunnel under the Hudson | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
River... In the past century the US saw | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
two big building booms. The first came in the 1930s | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
when Roosevelt's New Deal put millions of Americans to work | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
on projects like this one. The second was in the 50s and 60s | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
with the construction of the interstate highway system | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
and minutes after he was elected president, | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Donald Trump promised further. We're going to rebuild | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
our infrastructure. Which will become, | :18:58. | :18:58. | |
by the way, second to none. Mr Trump is particularly scathing | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
about America's airports. Once icons of progress, | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
he now calls the third World. But Los Angeles International | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
is already spending billions on more gates,new rail links and smarter | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
terminals, funded not by the government | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
but by passengers views But, it is today's | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
experience third World? We are an incredible and robust | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
airport, we have fantastic facilities here already, | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
but we are taking them to that next level which will be | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
the gold standard airport. Showcase projects are one | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
thing but when it comes to more mundane the pair, | :19:36. | :19:49. | |
roads and bridges, pipes and dams, Life as we knew it in the | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
21st-century of the United States is going to increasingly look | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
like what is normal in the part of the world, | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
especially Latin America, It is just not going to be | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
a 21st-century western country. The challenge, it seems, | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
is not to make America great again, The family of Kurt Cochran, | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
the American tourist killed in last week's attack in Westminster say | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
they have been through a "humbling and difficult experience" , | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
but have been helped Mr Cochran and his wife Melissa, | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
from Utah, were on a trip to celebrate their wedding | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
anniversary, when they were hit The moment Cally Massoud began his | :20:28. | :20:47. | |
attack, we now know he was driving at up to 76 miles an hour across | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Westminster Bridge, killing and injuring as he drove. This afternoon | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
his mother issued a statement condemning the attack and | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
emphasising that she does not condone her some's actions not | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
support his beliefs. She said" I am so deeply shocked, saddened and | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
numbed by the actions my son has taken that have killed and injured | :21:10. | :21:22. | |
innocent people in Westminster... 'S and those victims included American | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
couple Kurt Cochran and his wife. It'd been their first time in London | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
and their first ever visit outside of the USA, they had been on a tour | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
of Europe to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Kurt Cochran | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
was killed after being thrown from the bridge to the pavement below. A | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
single bunch of flowers marks where he's fouled. Melissa suffered | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
multiple injuries and is in hospital. -- where he fouled. Today, | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
13 members of his family spoke publicly for the first time. From | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Utah they are Mormon family who have found strength in their faith. It is | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
hard the most of us to imagine what it is like to lose in this way, can | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
you give us some sense of the impact on your family? It is brought close | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
together. We love and support each other so much and I think it has | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
made is even that much stronger. Kurt Cochran run a music studio back | :22:24. | :22:27. | |

Astec supporter of local bands. There have been two beat concept in | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
his honour. What the families had shown today is what happens when you | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
are suddenly affected by an event of this magnitude. It has brought with | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
it trauma, grief and the them forgiveness. Nonu 's harbour any ill | :22:52. | :23:00. | |

buyers would this was a chance but Tobias Ellwood | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
to remember all of those killed. Last week a chair of the House | :23:17. | :23:35. | |
committee did something extraordinary, he went behind his | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
fellow committee members and shared previously undisclosed intelligence | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
directly with the White House, information he said have come from | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
the zone source, we do not know who that source was, or we didn't. It | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
undermines the committee's independence, but now we are | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
learning a bit more about that source. Yes. You see him there | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
walking out of the White House, the building behind as the old executive | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
building which is the White House overflow, if you like, well a lot of | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
employees of the White House where the mother works. It seems he went | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
there the day before in end Uber car, to have a meeting, so maybe | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
that is the source of the information, maybe it was summoned | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
from the White House gave in the information that he went back to the | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
White House... Which signifies what? It is turning into a bizarre spy | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
mystery. In the sense that, he got information from the White House | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
that event back to the White to muddy the water, or what was the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
significance of that? I would love to be able to give you a definitive | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
answer to that, no idea. In two we hear from the man himself to explain | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
what a nappy was doing and where the information came from, I have a bit | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
of a problem trying to explain it is actually what it was. -- to explain | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
what an art it was he was doing. Certainly, the questions are piling | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
up for him. It gets murkier by the day. | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
Trump's son-in-law is going to overhaul government to make it | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
quicker, slicker and he's going to appear before the committee on | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Russia, as well. He has a busy time as well as sorting out Middle East | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
peace. We surely the nepotism tweets alone, for the moment. You're | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
watching 100 putter days. Still to come for viewers on the BBC | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
News Channel and BBC World News - the British Prime Minister heads | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
north for her first face-to-face meeting with the Scottish leader | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
since a new push for independence - does it look like they got anything | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
solved? And governing from the golf course , | :25:48. | :25:48. | |
why Democrats want a record of everyone Donald Trump meets | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
at his weekend resort That's still to come on 100 | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
Days, from BBC News. After a rather gloomy start we | :25:58. | :26:17. | |
enjoyed some sunshine, but some others did not. This was the rather | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
gloomy scene earlier this afternoon. Boy, did that have an effect on the | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
temperatures, some others did not get above seven or 8 degrees. That | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
was the exception, most places enjoyed lots of fantastic sunshine | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
no more shows than the Highlands of Scotland. -- no more so. This was | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
the scene looking westwards on the coast of Ayrshire. A dry evening. | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
Overnight some of the low cloud will become extensive. Must of mist an | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
mag around particularly in the east. Some players will keep these clear | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
skies and where it happens it will be a cold night, as we've seen in | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
some country spots, in the west of Scotland,. Some showers turning up | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
across parts of Wales... Very scattered affairs and some heavy | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
ones putting up to Northern Ireland and into parts of Scotland. Ahead of | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
that, much cloudy day for most of Scotland and it will be much cooler | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
than has been the last few days. There is the name pushing into the | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
south-west. The odd shower passing into parts of the Midlands and | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
eastern England. They will be very scattered, many places avoiding them | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
but they could be quite Scott. It will feel pleasantly warm. Some | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
brightness. Wales and south-west brightness. Wales and south-west | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
England, but not as we head into the evening, some dampness turning up | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
here. This is tomorrow evening. Damp and dreary across western areas. | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
Quite gusty wind across northern areas. Further south and east, not | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
much rain, plenty of cloud but it will be a mild feeling day in most | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
places. As we looked through the week, most northern and western | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
areas are going to catch the rain, succession front come in and | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
something could be quite heavy. This one front, briefly will introduce | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
some really warm air from the neck continent. See how the map turned | :28:16. | :28:18. | |
yellow and orange, here. Somebody somewhere across the more South | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
eastern part of England could be knocking on the door at 20 degrees, | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
whether 70 and west it is cloudy and breezy and wetter. | :28:28. | :30:07. | |
Welcome back to One Hundred Days, with me Jon Sopel in Washington | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
Donald Trump's spokesman has said the White House 'learned a lot' | :30:11. | :30:20. | |
despite having to withdraw the President's Healthcare | :30:21. | :30:21. | |
proposals, and is looking at ways it can improve 'how | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
Also ahead - we'll look what the jailing of a Russian | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
opposition leader for taking part in an anti-corruption rally means | :30:30. | :30:31. | |
A crucial week for the UK, the Prime Minister will notify | :30:32. | :30:45. | |
the European Union on Wednesday that Britain intends to leave, | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
Today Theresa May has been in Scotland where | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
she has been meeting the Scottish First | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
It's the first face-to-face meeting since the Scottish National Party | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
demanded a new independence referendum. | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith reports. | :31:06. | :31:11. | |
Theresa May knows this could be awkward, she's here to talk about | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
her Article 50 letter. She is here to press had armed for a referendum | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
on independence, so no handshakes, no press conferences, just a couple | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
of souvenir photographs but neither woman looks like they are enjoying | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
it. I start contrast, their first meeting eight months ago, then it | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
was called a good working relationship. Now Nicola Sturgeon | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
says the PM has not listened to her in Brexit, Mrs May says she will | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
reject any request for a vote on Scottish independence. My position | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
is not going to change, that now is not the time to be talking about a | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
second independence referendum because it wouldn't be fair on the | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
Scottish people to ask them to make that decision when the facts aren't | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
clear and also because now is the time when we need to pull together | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
to make sure we get the best possible deal for the UK including | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
the people as Scotland's. I'm told that the meeting was businesslike, | :32:10. | :32:16. | |
cordial and probably the then kissed meeting yet. They were offering more | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
powers for the Scottish Parliament, they hoped but they say they got | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
moody and on that. And when Nicola Sturgeon told the Prime Minister how | :32:24. | :32:27. | |
she plans to make the formal request race got it referendum, the Prime | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
Minister said simply you know my position on that. The first | :32:32. | :32:32. | |
ministers says, it should be clear on 18 to 24 | :32:33. | :32:41. | |
months' time which is when the Scottish Government wants to hold | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
that referendum. We both agree now is not the time to give people that | :32:46. | :32:52. | |
choice. Since we both appear to be in agreement as to when the terms of | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
Brexit will become clear, that would underline my view, that is the right | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
time. In a speech, she said she wants to build a more united nation. | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
But it is Scottish independence on the agenda, at the Holyrood | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
parliament tomorrow and they will almost certainly vote to call for a | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
second referendum. Well, the polls say support | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
for Scottish independence has grown since the last vote in 2014, | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
but still the majority wish I've been speaking to Scotland's | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
first home-grown billionaire Sir Tom Hunter and I asked him | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
what he would make of another vote. My feeling is that people in | :33:29. | :33:41. | |
Scotland are kind of fed up. There has been too much politics, one of | :33:42. | :33:48. | |
the great things about the 2014 referendum, was the whole country | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
got engaged. Everybody really got engaged in the politics and the | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
debate and we had a referendum and we had a result. I think people are | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
a bit fed up, and I'm not quite sure we're going into same level of | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
engagement if another referendum comes quite so soon. Our economy is | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
lagging behind the rest of the UK, we are about one third behind the | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
rest of the UK in terms of economic growth. Our education system, we | :34:19. | :34:26. | |
have had the worst results ever. And we have had this government in place | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
now for ten years. I think one of the problems and I think we are in | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
difficult times for democracy, is that there is no effective political | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
opposition in Holyrood. And there is no effective political opposition in | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
Westminster either. So I think, these are dangerous times for | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
democracy. Are you suggesting from what you say that the SNP and others | :34:52. | :34:57. | |
have used this criticism, are concentrating too much on | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
independence at the expense of some of the biggest issues for society? I | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
think it has always been very convenient for most governments in | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
Scotland, to blame the bogeyman in Westminster. Or perhaps, in Theresa | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
May's case, the bogey woman in Westminster. And that takes the | :35:15. | :35:20. | |
scrutiny, on what has actually been happening in Scotland, we have had | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
devolved powers now for some time, we have had an SNP government for | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
the past ten years, so I tend to listen less to what people say, and | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
really watch what people do. And if you look at the track record here in | :35:36. | :35:43. | |
Scotland, it's not that great. Were about to trigger Article 50 and | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
Brexit, the Brexit negotiation will be under way, how is that going to | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
affect your business and how would that affect your business in | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
Scotland were for a period outside its biggest market, the rest of the | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
UK and also the rest of the European Union? We are entering Brexit. We | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
are entering the unknown, no country has ever left the European Union. So | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
from a business point of view, that adds to uncertainty. I guess I am an | :36:12. | :36:17. | |
optimist, so we are going to have to make the most of the situation we | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
find ourselves in, but in terms of is this a reason that Scotland | :36:23. | :36:29. | |
should leave the rest of the UK, it may be but I wouldn't be asking that | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
question right now. We need to wait and see what Brexit actually means, | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
and we must always remember in Scotland, we do four times as much | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
business with the rest of the UK, than we do with Europe. So often and | :36:45. | :36:52. | |
this was the case last night, the debate is framed by oil and the | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
price of oil which we know is rock bottom at the moment, but surely | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
Scotland as an independent country could attract new business, it could | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
be a more nimble economy? Yes I mean the last time already news and the | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
taxation flowing from that was central to it, since the last | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
referendum, oil revenues have dropped 97%. It is quite incredible. | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
But they may reverse, they are never going to get back to where they | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
work, but there is news of another oil find off the west coast of | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
Scotland just this weekend. But I think, what we should be talking | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
about is how we built Scotland's economy into the robust economy | :37:37. | :37:42. | |
which we need. If we look at what was talked about in the SNP | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
conference we should be, they hardly talked about the Scottish economy | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
and what measures we need to take to build a robust and sustainable | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
healthy economy. Sir Tom I am very grateful for your time, thank you | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
for coming on the programme. Some interesting | :38:02. | :38:03. | |
talks from Sir Tom Hunter about education Scotland, he thinks that | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
the SNP are putting world their desire for independence in front of | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
things that would benefit Scotland. We are going to put those things | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
tomorrow to Satanic Salmond, the former SNP leader, so that it will | :38:19. | :38:27. | |
be interesting to get his thoughts. STUDIO: If that would be very | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
interesting. -- STUDIO: That would be. | :38:35. | :38:35. | |
The Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, | :38:36. | :38:37. | |
has appeared in court in Moscow, after his arrest on Sunday | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
The court rejected the request and Navalny was sentenced | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
Our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, was | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
Well I'm standing outside a Moscow court has in the spring blizzard, a | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
short while ago, the Russian opposition activist, Navalny was | :38:53. | :39:02. | |
found guilty of organising a mass protests and he was fined the | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
equivalent of $350 and then he was found guilty of disobeying the | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
police and poor that he was sentenced to 15 days in jail. This | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
police van Baha'i and me has arrived to whisk him off to jail. -- has | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
arrived. Some of his supporters held good luck signs, hoping he could see | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
them. But then police officers came up to them and took them away. | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
Earlier I managed to ask Mr Navalny how significant he thought | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
yesterday's protests had been. TRANSLATION: | :39:40. | :39:49. | |
It was Navalny who called the Russians onto the streets, and | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
people came across the country, in dozens of towns and cities, in their | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
thousands. The biggest protest was in Moscow. That was on Pushkin | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
Square, where there were thousands of people. That protest was broken | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
by Russian riot police. I think these protests have cemented Navalny | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
as the unofficial leader of the Russian opposition. Meanwhile the | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
Kremlin today said it respected people's rights to voice her opinion | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
but it said that it believed that some of them had been unsanctioned | :40:27. | :40:28. | |
and therefore illegal. A deadline for forming | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
a new power-sharing government in Northern Ireland has | :40:34. | :40:35. | |
passed without agreement. The two biggest parties | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
in the devolved government, the Democratic Unionists | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
and Sinn Fein, blamed each other for the failure of three | :40:41. | :40:42. | |
weeks of negotiations. More time's been set aside to help | :40:43. | :40:45. | |
reach an agreement - if not, it could lead to a return | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
of direct rule from London. A 100-kilogram gold coin has been | :40:49. | :40:57. | |
stolen from a museum in Berlin. The coin, which is 53 centimetres | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
wide and three centimetres thick, features a portrait | :41:02. | :41:10. | |
of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin, called the "Big Maple | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
Leaf" and made in Canada in 2007, is said to have a face value | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
of at least a million dollars. But by weight alone, it's worth more | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
than four times that. I want to talk, just before we | :41:20. | :41:36. | |
finish, only word is question is leading and it is not to a glamorous | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
golf resort. I have been doing some sums today, I only know that it is | :41:41. | :41:47. | |
him by his golf club and shoes. It says here that he has been on the | :41:48. | :41:53. | |
golf course 21 out of 66 days in office and the Democrats don't like | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
it. The they don't like it at all, one is Donald Trump said when he | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
became President he would be so busy being president that he wouldn't | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
have time like that dissolute person Barack Obama who spent a bit of time | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
on the golf course, he would be working all the time. The second | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
thing is, this idea, that when you are at the White House, everyone is | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
clocked in and clocked out, there is a record of who he is met. Not sue | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
much this time. Is that any different to having a private e-mail | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
server, if you are away from the White House and off the books for a | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
third of the time, how is that different? As a posy would say disk | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
completely different because there is no secret communications going on | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
that are outside of kind of things. But it is a valid point, it is a | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
rhetorical question that I am not going to answer. That is 100 days, | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
if you would like to get in touch, you can do so using twitter. That is | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
it from us today, do join us at the same time tomorrow. | :43:01. | :43:11. |
