:01:26. > :01:29.Four days after Donald Trump launched cruise missiles
:01:30. > :01:32.against Syria, it's not clear what else he wants to do
:01:33. > :01:38.America today certainly doesn't feel as if it's on war footing.
:01:39. > :01:41.And different members of the Trump team are saying different things
:01:42. > :01:46.about America's Syria policy and the future of President Assad.
:01:47. > :01:49.Here is the US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley on Sunday.
:01:50. > :01:51.There is not any sort of option where a political solution
:01:52. > :01:54.will happen with Assad at the head of the regime.
:01:55. > :01:57.If you look at his actions, at the situation, it will be hard
:01:58. > :02:01.to see a government that is peaceful and stable with Assad.
:02:02. > :02:03.But not everyone in the administration seems
:02:04. > :02:10.Here's US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with another.
:02:11. > :02:12.What we are hopeful is through this Syrian process, working
:02:13. > :02:17.with coalition members, UN and through the Geneva process,
:02:18. > :02:21.we can navigate a political outcome, and we wish the Syrian people
:02:22. > :02:27.will determine Bashar al-Assad's fate and his legitimacy.
:02:28. > :02:29.It is also not clear how this leaves relations

:03:51. > :03:52.Immediately afterwards, Boris Johnson told me he is pressing
:03:53. > :03:56.for new sanctions against Russia as well as Syria.
:03:57. > :04:00.And we will be discussing the possibility of further
:04:01. > :04:04.sanctions, certainly on some of the Syrian military figures and,
:04:05. > :04:07.indeed, on some of the Russian military figures who have been
:04:08. > :04:14.involved in coordinating the Syrian military efforts,
:04:15. > :04:18.and who of course are thereby contaminated by the appalling
:04:19. > :04:24.What we're trying to do is to give Tillerson the clearest possible
:04:25. > :04:30.mandate from us as the West, the UK, and all of our allies
:04:31. > :04:33.here to say to the Russians, "This is your choice.
:04:34. > :04:36.Stick with that guy, stick with that tyrant,
:04:37. > :04:39.or work with us to find a better solution."
:04:40. > :04:43.President Assad's major backers, Iran and Russia, have now warned
:04:44. > :04:47.of military retaliation if President Trump repeats last
:04:48. > :04:51.Friday's cruise-missile strikes, although Iran's President Rouhani,
:04:52. > :04:55.seen as a moderate, seemed to contradict his own hardliners
:04:56. > :04:58.today, saying change within the Assad regime
:04:59. > :05:04.should go hand-in-hand with fighting his opponents.
:05:05. > :05:07.TRANSLATION: Terrorism in Syria should be eradicated and, of course,
:05:08. > :05:14.some reform should be permitted in Syria within the Syrian regime.
:05:15. > :05:17.This evening, G7 ministers, all but one of them Nato members
:05:18. > :05:19.too, are starting to explore new pressures they could apply,
:05:20. > :05:23.knowing full well that Russia has so far stuck firmly
:05:24. > :05:28.For more from the G7 summit, we spoke with
:05:29. > :05:45.There has been a lot of sound and fury. Very powerfully, Rex Tillerson
:05:46. > :05:50.has drawn a comparison between Nazi atrocities in Italy at the end of
:05:51. > :05:55.the Second World War and what has been happening inside Syria. Will
:05:56. > :06:00.that make any difference? Who knows. Vladimir Putin has resisted all
:06:01. > :06:03.pressure. There is at least a discussion of additional sanctions
:06:04. > :06:07.being applied to Russia if it does not moderate its support for Assad,
:06:08. > :06:13.but that may have been undermined by something that Rex Tillerson
:06:14. > :06:18.repeated over the weekend in a series of interviews on American
:06:19. > :06:23.network TV. He made clear that it is not the number one United States
:06:24. > :06:29.priority, to remove him from power. That remains the elimination of
:06:30. > :06:32.so-called ices within Syria. So you can see that flood Amir Putin may
:06:33. > :06:37.feel he can go on resisting whatever pressure may be agreed in Italy, in
:06:38. > :06:42.talks which will go on deep into the evening and resume again in the
:06:43. > :06:45.morning. The view in Washington after the strikes what that there
:06:46. > :06:50.was broad international support for this, and that American credibility
:06:51. > :06:56.and military credibility had been restored around the world. Is that
:06:57. > :07:04.your takeaway from the G-7 meeting? To some extent it is. This is a
:07:05. > :07:09.reversal of Barack Obama's policy of non-aggression in Syria. It is
:07:10. > :07:11.clearly sending a strong signal that the new administration is conducting
:07:12. > :07:16.things in a different way. But that is tempered by the clear statements
:07:17. > :07:21.from the administration that this was a limited, targeted strike,
:07:22. > :07:27.which was only a response to the use of banned chemical weapons. And that
:07:28. > :07:32.no such strike would be repeated, unless there is another use of
:07:33. > :07:35.chemical weapons within Syria. There is no question of a general American
:07:36. > :07:39.engagement in Syria, with significant military might, nothing
:07:40. > :07:46.much in what the Russians are using to bolster resident Assad. America's
:07:47. > :07:52.allies are grateful for what the United States has done, particularly
:07:53. > :07:55.to enforce the global century-old ban on chemical weapons, but whether
:07:56. > :08:01.it is a game changer in Syria remains to be seen.
:08:02. > :08:06.The White House press secretary has been speaking about the American
:08:07. > :08:08.military action in Syria last week and about trying to create the
:08:09. > :08:12.conditions to bring about new leadership.
:08:13. > :08:17.The action that we took last week has been widely praised,
:08:18. > :08:20.domestically and internationally, is a great step to ensure the
:08:21. > :08:23.deterrence and preparation of chemical weapons and action against
:08:24. > :08:33.innocent people. When you watch babies and children being gassed and
:08:34. > :08:36.suffering under barrel bombs, you are instantaneously moved to action.
:08:37. > :08:40.The president has made it clear that if those actions were to continue,
:08:41. > :08:46.further action will be considered by the United States. We continue to
:08:47. > :08:52.urge the world community to join us in this, in both stopping the
:08:53. > :08:55.deterrence and preparation of the use of those weapons, but in further
:08:56. > :08:59.trying to create the political environment that will result in new
:09:00. > :09:02.leadership. Those are very important, they go hand-in-hand.
:09:03. > :09:04.So what are the military options now?
:09:05. > :09:06.I'm joined by Andrew Exum, who was President Obama's Deputy
:09:07. > :09:13.Assistant Secretary of Defence for Middle East policy.
:09:14. > :09:18.The White House seems to be making the argument that defeating Islamic
:09:19. > :09:26.State can lead to the conditions for the removal of President Assad. Has
:09:27. > :09:30.this action that the US has taken in Syria complicated the fight against
:09:31. > :09:36.Islamic State? Yes. That was what the risks, it is worth keeping in
:09:37. > :09:41.mind that the US-led coalition over Syria has been flying in and around
:09:42. > :09:45.in a Syrian air defences over the past two years, and so Syria and
:09:46. > :09:49.Russia can come to get the fight against Islamic State. What you are
:09:50. > :09:55.seeing, and Sean Spicer was all over the map... I did not come out of
:09:56. > :09:58.that any clearer. That is not the first time that has been the case.
:09:59. > :10:04.What Rex Tillerson and the ambassador said yesterday was
:10:05. > :10:08.signalling that political transition remains a priority, the fight
:10:09. > :10:12.against the Islamic State has to come first, because they are in a
:10:13. > :10:15.bit of tension. You will see the White House tried to prioritise the
:10:16. > :10:20.fight against the Islamic State while seeing whether or not this
:10:21. > :10:24.strike against Syria gives Rex Tillerson anymore leveraged in the
:10:25. > :10:27.Geneva process. In terms of the options America could have, they
:10:28. > :10:31.were options that were on the table when you were in the administration
:10:32. > :10:36.Tom what are they and which do you think are the likely once America
:10:37. > :10:42.might take next? Friendly, they not going to want to telegraph their
:10:43. > :10:46.options might be, our focus remains on the Islamic State, they will go
:10:47. > :10:50.to rack and the Euphrates River Valley. There will not want to
:10:51. > :10:57.telegraph any intent with respect to the Syrian regime. That is -- that
:10:58. > :11:04.ambiguity makes sense, because when you have Assad going to Geneva, he
:11:05. > :11:08.will want to do that with the sense that maybe the president would do
:11:09. > :11:14.something, without getting into the specific details. I want to see if I
:11:15. > :11:18.can use some of your expertise, because you were a former Ranger and
:11:19. > :11:21.captain in the army, and Rex Tillerson has been confident in the
:11:22. > :11:27.American intelligence, they said the Russians must have known, because
:11:28. > :11:31.there were people at these bases. When you put conventional weapons on
:11:32. > :11:34.an aircraft, is it very different from putting chemical weapons on an
:11:35. > :11:49.aircraft? Would you be that spot it easily? I had a bit of difficulty
:11:50. > :11:54.with the earpiece. Overall,... Could they have moved chemical weapons
:11:55. > :11:57.without the Russians at the airbase knowing's that was what they were
:11:58. > :12:01.getting out yesterday when they made the statement. This serves the
:12:02. > :12:05.administration politically, to be able to call the Russians out to
:12:06. > :12:09.say, look, you were the international guarantors for this
:12:10. > :12:16.deal in 2013, you were present at the airbase, we are not buying the
:12:17. > :12:21.idea that you were not at least witting of some of the movements
:12:22. > :12:26.that the Syrian regime were doing. It is canny and wise to put that
:12:27. > :12:28.pressure on the Russians. In all likelihood, it is possible that
:12:29. > :12:36.there may be a disconnect between the Russians on the ground in Syria
:12:37. > :12:41.and the Russians in Moscow. Polls have been done here over the
:12:42. > :12:45.weekend, Donald Trump has seen a bit of a bump in his approval ratings,
:12:46. > :12:48.but the things that came out most clearly, there is not political
:12:49. > :12:51.support via for taking this action further. They will live with this
:12:52. > :12:55.attack, they do not want further attacks.
:12:56. > :12:59.You said you do not know if there is a strategy. They said last week that
:13:00. > :13:04.there was a suite of options that was put to be president, so if there
:13:05. > :13:07.is a suite of options, there must be some sort of strategy, you would
:13:08. > :13:12.think? But maybe it is not palatable.
:13:13. > :13:15.They were drawing up the options, but the administration has to
:13:16. > :13:18.decide, does it want regime change or not, is it a priority?
:13:19. > :13:24.And today, President Trump fulfilled one of his key election pledges.
:13:25. > :13:27.The swearing in of a new conservative, Supreme Court
:13:28. > :13:35.This was the smaller, private ceremony earlier on Monday.
:13:36. > :13:43.And then, there was this, the more-public swearing-in
:13:44. > :13:48.49-year-old Justice Gorsuch was finally confirmed on Friday
:13:49. > :13:50.after a bitter struggle between Republicans
:13:51. > :13:54.And whatever this President does over his first 100
:13:55. > :14:02.days, this will be seen as his most-significant achievement.
:14:03. > :14:04.The past two months, the American people have gotten
:14:05. > :14:08.to know and respect and truly admire our newest member
:14:09. > :14:18.In Justice Gorsuch, they see a man of great and unquestioned integrity.
:14:19. > :14:23.They see a man of unmatched qualifications and, most of all,
:14:24. > :14:27.and most importantly, they see a man who is deeply
:14:28. > :14:34.faithful to the constitution of the United States.
:14:35. > :14:37.He will decide cases based not on his personal preferences,
:14:38. > :14:47.but based on a fair and objective reading of law.
:14:48. > :14:52.We have talked a lot about the problems the administration has had,
:14:53. > :14:59.this is a huge successful Donald Trump, this man will shape American
:15:00. > :15:04.legal opinion and American life for decades to come. He is young, by the
:15:05. > :15:13.standards of the Supreme Court. Many of them are elderly.
:15:14. > :15:21.Donald Trump could easily get one more PIC. The Justice at the end,
:15:22. > :15:26.only 49, he has a long time left on that bench.
:15:27. > :15:29.Two of the three oldest art Liberal Democrat justices. Appointed by Bill
:15:30. > :15:35.Clinton. So it shows how long they can stay on the bench.
:15:36. > :15:44.And the kind of impact, if some of the Liberals, if either of the old
:15:45. > :15:48.ones were to be replaced during Trump's term, that could change the
:15:49. > :15:57.outcome. A piece I read today, from one of
:15:58. > :16:00.the justices, the last youngest, she spoke to the Washington Post about
:16:01. > :16:04.this in a sanctum, the conference room where they meet to discuss
:16:05. > :16:08.their judgments, and there is a defined pecking order. If you go in
:16:09. > :16:12.as a junior, you are in charge of cafeteria duties, you are in charge
:16:13. > :16:18.of answering the door, you have to take notes at the meetings. You
:16:19. > :16:21.think you are hot stuff when you go in, but they pull you down to earth
:16:22. > :16:22.as soon as you walk through the door.
:16:23. > :16:28.Just like on this programme! I was just going to say!
:16:29. > :16:30.The funeral of the British police officer Keith Palmer,
:16:31. > :16:35.killed in last month's Westminster attack, has been held in London
:16:36. > :16:39.Thousands of police officers from all over the country lined
:16:40. > :16:42.the route of the funeral cortege, which set off from the Palace
:16:43. > :16:48.of Westminster, where his coffin had laid in rest overnight.
:16:49. > :16:50.PC Palmer, who was married with a five-year-old daughter,
:16:51. > :16:52.was guarding the Houses of Parliament when he was
:16:53. > :17:01.A floral tribute on top of the hearse read "No 1 daddy".
:17:02. > :17:04.At the gates of the Palace of Westminster, Police Constable
:17:05. > :17:08.Keith Palmer's coffin paused, at the very spot where
:17:09. > :17:16.The place where, unarmed, he moved towards a man
:17:17. > :17:21.brandishing two knifes, where he put himself in harm's way,
:17:22. > :17:26.where he protected Parliament to protect our democracy.
:17:27. > :17:32.Police officers from every force in the country lined the route.
:17:33. > :17:35.Thousands of men and women who did not know Keith Palmer,
:17:36. > :17:38.but know what it means to wear the badge.
:17:39. > :17:42.You never really know what you're going to face when you go out there.
:17:43. > :17:45.So it is with incredible bravery that he did that.
:17:46. > :17:48.I think it brings home what the job is about,
:17:49. > :17:55.It shows what a family we are, really, that we all look out for one
:17:56. > :17:59.another and we all do the same thing at the end of the day.
:18:00. > :18:02.The global police family came together in London today, including
:18:03. > :18:04.officers from New York's Police Department.
:18:05. > :18:08.We have had so much support from officers around the country,
:18:09. > :18:11.around the United States, as well as from other places
:18:12. > :18:14.in the world when we have had officers die in the line of duty,
:18:15. > :18:18.so we have felt a need to be supportive back.
:18:19. > :18:21.As the cortege headed across the river, police officers
:18:22. > :18:28.paid tribute in the air, on the water and along the route.
:18:29. > :18:32.Two of PC Palmer's colleagues spoke of the friend they so admired.
:18:33. > :18:34.If you could paint a picture of a perfect policeman,
:18:35. > :18:37.you would be painting a picture of Keith Palmer.
:18:38. > :18:39.He sounds like a pretty extraordinary man.
:18:40. > :18:42.He was, he was so down-to-earth and normal.
:18:43. > :18:45.He came to work because he had a family to support.
:18:46. > :18:49.He was a fantastic dad and a fantastic husband.
:18:50. > :18:58.As the coffin passed through the capital,
:18:59. > :19:01.London stopped what it was doing to remember all those
:19:02. > :19:05.who lost their lives on that appalling day,
:19:06. > :19:08.PC Palmer and the four men and women killed on Westminster Bridge.
:19:09. > :19:11.PC Palmer symbolises the public service and sacrifice that
:19:12. > :19:15.underpins our society, a debt we owe to all those
:19:16. > :19:19.who put their lives on the line defending our freedoms.
:19:20. > :19:23.But he was also a husband, a father, a family man,
:19:24. > :19:29.and so today is about both national reflection and private grief.
:19:30. > :19:32.PC Palmer's wife asked that the family's privacy be
:19:33. > :19:36.respected inside Southwark Cathedral.
:19:37. > :19:42.But the sound of the service was relayed to the streets outside.
:19:43. > :19:46.Keith laid down his life for each one of us here.
:19:47. > :19:51.Each one of you who have lined the streets and filled
:19:52. > :19:57.In her first public engagement in her new role, Metropolitan Police
:19:58. > :20:01.Commissioner Cressida Dick honoured a fallen colleague.
:20:02. > :20:08.He was clearly very kind, very good-hearted, very
:20:09. > :20:14.hard-working, a very, very talented police officer.
:20:15. > :20:16.Police Constable Keith Palmer's name has been added to
:20:17. > :20:22.The grief will lessen, his bravery will endure
:20:23. > :20:33.Some of the other stories we're following today.
:20:34. > :20:35.Swedish police are confident they hold the man responsible
:20:36. > :20:39.for the truck attack last Friday which killed four and injured 15.
:20:40. > :20:42.The main suspect in custody is 39-year-old Uzbek
:20:43. > :20:47.He applied for political asylum in 2014 but was refused in 2016.
:20:48. > :20:56.He was given four weeks to leave the country but then disappeared.
:20:57. > :20:58.The rumours swirling around the White House at the moment
:20:59. > :21:01.suggest two of the main men in the Trump administration
:21:02. > :21:04.On the left is Steve Bannon, the right-wing nationalist
:21:05. > :21:07.and neophyte who serves as the President's chief strategist.

:21:39. > :21:41.from where Steve Bannon would be. Yes, Steve Bannon was the chairman

:22:00. > :22:04.about those strikes against Syria. On that, he seems to have been
:22:05. > :22:13.losing out. What he needs to learn three words, blood is thicker.

:22:33. > :22:34.temperatures have stripped the colour from two thirds
:22:35. > :22:37.of the reef, and it's now in danger Mass bleaching happens

:23:01. > :23:04.structure on earth. But vulnerable to
:23:05. > :23:07.the slightest change. This is how part of reefs
:23:08. > :23:18.look, a ghostly white. A new survey has found long
:23:19. > :23:22.stretches of reef have turned pale for the second year running,
:23:23. > :23:24.giving the corals no chance to recover, and the scientist
:23:25. > :23:29.in charge says he is worried. It seems likely between this event
:23:30. > :23:34.and last event roughly 50% of coral will have died in a period of less
:23:35. > :23:43.than 18 months. That binding measure
:23:44. > :23:49.is a huge blow to the reef. What is happening to
:23:50. > :23:51.the Great Barrier Reef This gives you an idea
:23:52. > :23:57.of what is at stake. This is healthy coral,
:23:58. > :24:01.on the right coral that's turned Healthy coral provides energy
:24:02. > :24:08.from algae, but if the water is too Last year, scientists

:24:21. > :24:24.section has suffered, and usually the waters
:24:25. > :24:28.there are cooler. Being bleached two years
:24:29. > :24:31.running makes it harder Some corals are weaker,
:24:32. > :24:42.and scientists are trying to find It can bleach but it does
:24:43. > :24:51.not necessarily die. If a coral bleaches year after year,

:24:57. > :25:05.of threats, from pollution But on top of that,
:25:06. > :25:09.there is climate change. Bringing higher temperatures,
:25:10. > :25:25.that makes bleaching more likely. I have never been, have you?
:25:26. > :25:31.I do not spend all my time on holiday! Some of us are working!

:26:16. > :26:19.has been reset. We will not see 25 degrees again for the rest of this
:26:20. > :26:24.week. Instead, it will be West or north-westerly wind, and
:26:25. > :26:30.north-westerly as we head into next weekend. These are the temperatures
:26:31. > :26:35.we are expecting to see, much closer to where it should be for the time
:26:36. > :26:39.of year. It will not be a horrendous weekend by any stretch, fairly
:26:40. > :26:44.typical for this stage in April. A few showers, but a lot of dry
:26:45. > :26:50.weather as well, so there will be some sunny spells. The sun is
:26:51. > :26:56.gaining strength. In the sun, it will negate some of the chill. It is
:26:57. > :27:03.turning Chile tonight. Clear skies, lighter wind across southern areas.
:27:04. > :27:06.A touch of Frost in Shetland as well, but elsewhere across northern
:27:07. > :27:17.Scotland, lots of cloud. Rain will be setting in. It will be raining on
:27:18. > :27:24.and off through the day. One or two spots of rain for the Northwest.
:27:25. > :27:28.Cloud will build elsewhere after a sunny start, much like it did today.
:27:29. > :27:33.Sunny spells for the afternoon, a bit more clout for the Southern
:27:34. > :27:38.counties. Once the sun is out, it should feel pleasant enough. A
:27:39. > :27:42.breeze further north. The breeze picks up for all of us as we go into
:27:43. > :27:47.Wednesday, ringing a weather front after a wet night. Further south, we
:27:48. > :27:52.start with rain for Northern England and Wales, on the western side of
:27:53. > :27:57.the health. It fizzles out and pushes southwards. Not much rain
:27:58. > :28:02.across the South, still some sunny spells, and feeling cooler for all.
:28:03. > :28:05.By Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the temperatures are low
:28:06. > :28:11.enough for a touch of Frost in rural areas. It is driest and brightest
:28:12. > :28:15.across southern and eastern areas. It is cloudier in the West.
:28:16. > :28:19.Occasional showers, the most prolific in western Scotland. A
:28:20. > :28:24.bright day across the northern half of the country on Friday to stop the
:28:25. > :28:26.cloud threatening rain, but some dry weather to enjoy. It is turning

:30:48. > :30:53.find a unified strategy, One senior European diplomat told
:30:54. > :30:57.reporters the US was "navigating aimlessly in the dark" in the search
:30:58. > :31:02.for a transfer of power in Syria. Fore more, let's speak
:31:03. > :31:15.to Sir Christopher Mayer - Boris Johnson were supposed to be in
:31:16. > :31:22.Moscow today, is it better that he is in Italy negotiating with the G7
:31:23. > :31:25.ministers or should he be in Moscow? If I was 20 years younger and was
:31:26. > :31:30.one of his advisers in the Foreign Office, I would have said, do both,
:31:31. > :31:35.go to Moscow and take the temperatures and then fly to Italy,
:31:36. > :31:41.and then joined the G7 meeting and enrich the discussions with your
:31:42. > :31:45.personal observations that would also help Rex Tillerson when he is
:31:46. > :31:50.also there tomorrow evening. It is not a big deal, but I would have
:31:51. > :31:55.said there is a marginal advantage in your going to Moscow. But they
:31:56. > :32:00.have decided they are not going to do that, and so be it. Most people
:32:01. > :32:04.are recognising that the air strike last week was limited, we have seen
:32:05. > :32:09.pictures of the C Arun F or is taking off from that airfield. --
:32:10. > :32:15.pictures of the Syrian air force full stop what was the point of it?
:32:16. > :32:19.The damage caused was not minimal, and it might be that Syrian aircraft
:32:20. > :32:26.are flying from the airfield, but it was none of the 59 cruise missiles,
:32:27. > :32:30.were actually aimed at the runway, they were aimed at the facilities
:32:31. > :32:34.around the runway. I think it was the right thing to have been done by
:32:35. > :32:36.Donald Trump and he might have done the right thing for the wrong
:32:37. > :32:43.reason, but it was the right thing to have done. And it was a very
:32:44. > :32:47.sharp punch on the nose for Assad and a warning to the Russians,
:32:48. > :32:51.because if you look at the Russian role in this, Rex Tillerson said
:32:52. > :32:58.this already, and he is right, either they were taken for falls by
:32:59. > :33:03.the Syrians or they were complicit in the attack last week which
:33:04. > :33:09.horrified everyone -- taken for fools. The Russians come out of this
:33:10. > :33:14.very badly and the lasting Assad would like is to invite another Nato
:33:15. > :33:21.retaliation if he were to use weapons like that again -- and the
:33:22. > :33:27.last thing. I think it was a punitive strike by the Americans.
:33:28. > :33:31.Now, the big task for the G7, for the West and for the international
:33:32. > :33:35.community, having done that, which has given the United States far more
:33:36. > :33:42.credibility than they had under Barack Obama, for this reason, how'd
:33:43. > :33:44.you get to the basic objective? Ceasefire followed by peace
:33:45. > :33:48.agreement, internationally agreed, and at the same sign the carry on
:33:49. > :34:02.whacking Isis and the so-called caliphate. -- the same time. I want
:34:03. > :34:08.to go back to when you were in Washington, when President Bush went
:34:09. > :34:10.into Iraq. Rex Tillerson was talking about America dedicating themselves
:34:11. > :34:17.to holding to account anyone who commits crimes against innocent and
:34:18. > :34:20.it sounded like President Bush when he promised tomography and support
:34:21. > :34:29.for the innocent around the world, is this the new America? -- when he
:34:30. > :34:33.promised democracy and support. We haven't a clue, to be honest. Rex
:34:34. > :34:38.Tillerson has said that but we don't what those words mean. Was it a
:34:39. > :34:44.statement of purpose which will emerge from a new American foreign
:34:45. > :34:52.policy? We don't know. All we can say is that there is the possibility
:34:53. > :34:56.that out of the chrysalis of chaos that has been the Trump
:34:57. > :35:00.administration since Inauguration Day, there might be something more
:35:01. > :35:08.coherent and strategic than has been the case so far, but we don't know
:35:09. > :35:16.yet. If it is the case that Trump is happy to leave the development of a
:35:17. > :35:22.foreign policy strategy to the wise heads of the Defence Secretary and
:35:23. > :35:26.the national security adviser, we might see something a hearing with
:35:27. > :35:30.which we, the Allies, can work. We don't know if this will happen and
:35:31. > :35:36.whether this is something that Trump once today. The parallel with George
:35:37. > :35:39.W Bush might emerge but it hasn't emerged yet. Thanks for joining us.
:35:40. > :35:43.Pleasure. Syria isn't the only foreign policy
:35:44. > :35:46.problem for President Trump. In fact some would say
:35:47. > :35:48.the North Korea's rush to develop a nuclear missile programme is a far
:35:49. > :35:51.more dangerous development. At the weekend the US announced it
:35:52. > :35:54.had sent a naval strike group to the Korean peninsular,
:35:55. > :35:56.a clear sign of the It comes on the heels of Mr Trump's
:35:57. > :36:04.meeting with the Chinese North Korea was front
:36:05. > :36:07.and centre in those talks. Joining us now is Bruce Klingner,
:36:08. > :36:10.former CIA deputy division chief for Korea who is now
:36:11. > :36:19.at the Heritage Foundation. How much do you read into this
:36:20. > :36:21.strike group heading to the region? Continuing the theme from the
:36:22. > :36:30.previous guests, there is uncertainty we don't know. It could
:36:31. > :36:32.be as benign as the expected missile tests during upcoming important
:36:33. > :36:41.anniversaries for North Korea, and the United States would like to make
:36:42. > :36:44.sure it has sufficient deterrence abilities, especially when the
:36:45. > :36:48.missile defences down for repairs, so it's only prudent to have the
:36:49. > :36:54.Navy there, but you could spin a story of how after the C Arun
:36:55. > :36:57.attacks and numerous comments from other officials, that all options on
:36:58. > :37:06.the table -- after the serious attacks. -- Syria attacks. It is far
:37:07. > :37:10.more likely to be the former than the latter, but there is uncertainty
:37:11. > :37:18.and unpredictability and a bit of nervousness. She ginned
:37:19. > :37:27.North Korea and Donald Trump have said they will work together a bit
:37:28. > :37:30.better. If you still had your job, what would you be looking forward to
:37:31. > :37:35.see if they were able to do something more on North Korea?
:37:36. > :37:40.Because the Trump administration did not come out with a list of Chinese
:37:41. > :37:47.entities that it would impose secondary sanctions on, I would like
:37:48. > :37:56.to think that China has said they would take action against Chinese
:37:57. > :38:01.entities that are breaking US law, and maybe the US is giving them time
:38:02. > :38:05.to take action against the Chinese by laters, and if that doesn't
:38:06. > :38:13.occur, then I think President Trump will be willing to impose secondary
:38:14. > :38:16.sanctions unilaterally using US law. We have spoken about leveraging how
:38:17. > :38:20.you get this level it, but when you are dealing with the North Koreans,
:38:21. > :38:23.they have put out a statement that they are prepared to go without
:38:24. > :38:29.electricity and food because in their view this missile programme
:38:30. > :38:35.guarantees their survival. It is impossible to negotiate with a
:38:36. > :38:38.country like that. We have seen any number of times that we have tried
:38:39. > :38:45.negotiating, we have tried aid international agreements, there have
:38:46. > :38:49.been any number of attempts at engagement and they have all failed,
:38:50. > :38:53.and so right now country to perceptions that North Korea is the
:38:54. > :38:57.most heavily sanctioned on earth, that is simply not correct, the
:38:58. > :39:03.Trump administration has a lot of room where they could more fully in
:39:04. > :39:13.force US law including by secondary sanctions against Chinese entities.
:39:14. > :39:18.Thanks for joining us. I spent my time recuperating in the garden this
:39:19. > :39:24.weekend. But you went to spend your time with 400 teenage girls? It
:39:25. > :39:27.wasn't quite, but it was extraordinary, we hosted a
:39:28. > :39:33.conference in Baltimore for 400 local teenage girls and we did this
:39:34. > :39:41.because there is so much evidence... You have a daughter, that girls lose
:39:42. > :39:45.confidence. Between the ages of nine and 15, girls confidence that they
:39:46. > :39:50.can achieve as much as boys absolutely plummets. So I spent the
:39:51. > :39:53.weekend talking to these incredible girls and we had many great speakers
:39:54. > :39:58.talking to them about things like girls and science and girls and
:39:59. > :40:04.finance and sport, it was noisy but wonderful. We have an issue with
:40:05. > :40:09.this. It is not that my daughter doesn't want to try, she just
:40:10. > :40:15.frightened of failing. So she will only try at those things she thinks
:40:16. > :40:18.she can succeed at. Interesting. This is a problem, girls are
:40:19. > :40:22.perfectionists and they want to be perfect at work and about the way
:40:23. > :40:27.they look and with their friends, and the trouble is, if you want to
:40:28. > :40:29.be perfect all the time, it is hard to take risks and file and that is
:40:30. > :40:36.part of the process of building confidence. -- fail. It is a tricky
:40:37. > :40:39.issue for all parents. I will keep you updated.
:40:40. > :40:42.Much of the talk on this side of the Atlantic today Christian
:40:43. > :40:45.is about Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia - and that incredible
:40:46. > :40:47.win at the US Masters in Georgia yesterday.
:40:48. > :40:53.and this morning had this to say: "Thank you very much to all my fans,
:40:54. > :40:56.sponsors and all the people that made my dream come true!!
:40:57. > :41:02.You were up all night? Yes, and then it went to a play-off and I thought,
:41:03. > :41:09.oh God. This was the moment Garcia beat
:41:10. > :41:12.England's Justin Rose in a playoff - the Spaniard winning his first ever
:41:13. > :41:23.major title and his reaction shows He has tried 74 times. 73 majors he
:41:24. > :41:26.had played before this one. I honestly thought, and I don't want
:41:27. > :41:31.to go shot by shot, but he played the 13th and he hit a Christian
:41:32. > :41:39.Fraser shot and it went into the trees, and I thought I could go to
:41:40. > :41:42.bed, but somehow he made par and that catapulted the rest of his
:41:43. > :41:47.round and he completes a trio of Spaniards who have won this
:41:48. > :41:57.tournament. Seve Ballesteros, it was supposed to be his 60th birthday
:41:58. > :42:03.yesterday. He is a hero for all Spanish golfers, especially Sergio
:42:04. > :42:07.Garcia and Olazabal. I remember all of those victories, action, that
:42:08. > :42:19.shows I'm getting on a bit. -- actually. Sergio Garcia said five
:42:20. > :42:25.years ago that he was just not good enough, to win a major, so has his
:42:26. > :42:32.play changed? It is mind over matter, but behind every good golfer
:42:33. > :42:35.is a good woman, and he has a new fiancee who was there last night and
:42:36. > :42:47.she said she believed he could do that. She was walking down the last
:42:48. > :42:51.with him. She ran onto the green to congratulate him. You are such a
:42:52. > :42:57.romantic. My wife has never done that to me, though. LAUGHTER
