:04:20. > :04:21.the Conservative Party candidate, Francois Fillon, yesterday.
:04:22. > :04:24.Some are not yet sure if they will follow their leader
:04:25. > :04:30.I don't think Emmanuel Macron has a programme - his reforms are not
:04:31. > :04:33.fundamental enough, I do not think he has grasped the economic
:04:34. > :04:43.Both Macron and Le Pen have promised change.
:04:44. > :04:45.But deep reforms will probably need a parliamentary majority,
:04:46. > :04:47.unlikely for either, a reminder that winning power
:04:48. > :04:53.and wielding power are not always the same thing.
:04:54. > :05:00.We have had a final result from the Interior Ministry. Let's have a look
:05:01. > :05:08.at that. It is Emmanuel Macron in front, 21 point 01, ahead of Marine
:05:09. > :05:17.Le Pen. The third and fourth positions were Fillon and Milos on,
:05:18. > :05:25.the hard left candidate. -- Jean-Luc Melenchon. It is interesting when
:05:26. > :05:30.you look at a map how much France is divided. The blue is Marine Le Pen.
:05:31. > :05:37.In the industrial north-east and down in the south she is very
:05:38. > :05:40.popular. On the left-hand side, the Western side of France, it is
:05:41. > :05:52.Emmanuel Macron, and also in the cities. If you look at the communes
:05:53. > :05:59.that the candidates won, Marine Le Pen took 19,000 communes, three
:06:00. > :06:03.times nearly as many as Emmanuel Macron, which tells you he has the
:06:04. > :06:05.support of cities like this one, Paris, and she is very popular in
:06:06. > :06:07.rural areas. I'm joined now by Marine Le Pen's
:06:08. > :06:10.colleague and a leading politician from Front National,
:06:11. > :06:28.Bruno Gollnisch. Five years ago was when we met
:06:29. > :06:32.because we were there for the leadership challenge, you were
:06:33. > :06:36.running against Marine Le Pen. The polls suggest she has not become
:06:37. > :06:42.acceptable in the cities. Although I had been her contender, I think she
:06:43. > :06:50.is doing very well. I think the most important change results from the
:06:51. > :06:55.fact that an increasing number of French people came to understand
:06:56. > :07:03.that we were right in our analysis of the situation and a growing
:07:04. > :07:10.number of people think that we are right in our solutions, our
:07:11. > :07:16.proposals. I hope they will decide that we have the people able to
:07:17. > :07:24.implement this programme. Many things have been said about
:07:25. > :07:35.demonisation and so on. A lot of people are frightened of your party.
:07:36. > :07:39.I do think that demonisation was not close to what we really were but was
:07:40. > :07:46.a kind of psychological weapon in the hands of our opponents. You are
:07:47. > :07:54.being painted by the media and the establishment... Racist and... That
:07:55. > :07:58.is not still in the DNA of the party? A lot of people in France are
:07:59. > :08:06.worried about what you represent. It is a psychological weapon. John
:08:07. > :08:11.Marino -- Jean-Marie Le Pen said the Holocaust was a detail of the Second
:08:12. > :08:18.World War. You should ask Winston Churchill. Do you think it was a
:08:19. > :08:26.detail of the Second World War? He didn't say anything about it. A
:08:27. > :08:34.detail doesn't mean that it is significant, it was part of World
:08:35. > :08:39.War II. Jean-Marie Le Pen has been a member of Parliament for nearly 60
:08:40. > :08:47.years and his positions, speeches, programmes, proposals over several
:08:48. > :09:01.tens of thousands of pages, so it is really... You cannot summarise his
:09:02. > :09:07.life to this sentence. People try to find things from Marine Le Pen that
:09:08. > :09:15.they can use but it is the usual game. You have two weeks to convince
:09:16. > :09:19.people, what will be the strategy? Will you try to paint Emmanuel
:09:20. > :09:24.Macron as the establishment, continuity candidate? On one side we
:09:25. > :09:35.will because he is not that much a newcomer. He was the economic
:09:36. > :09:37.adviser for Francois Hollande, the Minister for economic, Sophie bears
:09:38. > :09:44.some responsibility for the eater Mick situation now. -- so he wears
:09:45. > :09:59.some responsibility for the economic situation. Then we will also appeal
:10:00. > :10:06.to voters, conservative or not, voters for example for Francois
:10:07. > :10:13.Fillon or Jean-Luc Melenchon. Many people are critical of the European
:10:14. > :10:20.Union, who want to have more national independence, towards for
:10:21. > :10:25.example Nato and the USA, who oppose many aspects of financial
:10:26. > :10:35.nationalism, these people would rather vote for Marine Le Pen than
:10:36. > :10:43.Mr match run. -- than Emmanuel Macron. Emmanuel Macron, the leader
:10:44. > :10:50.of En Marche, which didn't exist a year ago.
:10:51. > :10:53.He is now the leading contender to be the next French President.
:10:54. > :10:56.I'm joined on the line from Bordeaux by Thierry Fahmy,
:10:57. > :10:58.who is the election co-ordinator for En Marche in that region.
:10:59. > :11:09.You put aside your company to run Macron's campaign. What did you like
:11:10. > :11:14.about him? He said we shouldn't divide people but find out what is
:11:15. > :11:28.good in the ideas coming from the left or right wing of the party 's
:11:29. > :11:32.-- parties and trying to make people work together to make friends better
:11:33. > :11:35.again. A lot of people who joined me on the balcony last night for the
:11:36. > :11:41.results programme who aren't really sure what Mr Macron does stand for.
:11:42. > :11:49.The rhetoric is fine but what are his policies? There are many things.
:11:50. > :11:55.Some ideas go from the left wing, like protecting people, maintaining
:11:56. > :12:01.the social system we have in France, and he also has a liberal side, he
:12:02. > :12:04.wants people to take more risks, to innovate, and this is part of his
:12:05. > :12:12.programme and this is very important. He also has some measures
:12:13. > :12:16.for ecology. He has been able to identify what are the important
:12:17. > :12:23.things that could make the country better in a few years from now.
:12:24. > :12:28.I want to ask you about the phenomenon of Marine Le Pen winning
:12:29. > :12:33.so many small French villages and towns, the rural areas of France am
:12:34. > :12:38.aware Mr Macron didn't do well. We saw the same thing in the American
:12:39. > :12:43.election last November. What can Mr Macron do to reach out to rural
:12:44. > :12:50.voters? It is a good question. Contrary to what the Front National
:12:51. > :12:58.interviewees said, a significant part of the voters of Marine Le Pen
:12:59. > :13:04.are people who are desperate. Their life hasn't changed at all for the
:13:05. > :13:07.last 20 years and whatever they voted, left or right, nothing
:13:08. > :13:16.changed. It is really a vote of despair. This is really a problem
:13:17. > :13:20.that Macron and be En Marche movement wants to address and we are
:13:21. > :13:25.going to be in the field to solve these problems. The other part of
:13:26. > :13:29.the voters are people who are deeply worried with immigration. Some are
:13:30. > :13:34.racist people and this is something that is very hard to work on in the
:13:35. > :13:38.short term but we are confident will be solved in the long term. Thank
:13:39. > :13:52.you very much for being with us. What can Mr Macron do to try to
:13:53. > :13:56.reach those voters who feel like the forgotten French? It is the same
:13:57. > :14:00.phrase we have heard Donald Trump use, the forgotten men and women of
:14:01. > :14:05.America. He will have to reach beyond the liberal cities.
:14:06. > :14:11.He will find it difficult because a lot of people here will believe the
:14:12. > :14:14.rhetoric from Marine Le Pen that Emmanuel Macron, formerly the
:14:15. > :14:18.economy minister, is more of the same, promises by have had from the
:14:19. > :14:23.Socialist party for years. Unemployment in some of these areas
:14:24. > :14:27.has been stubbornly high, around 10%, and from Swann and promised to
:14:28. > :14:35.bring it down for five years and didn't manage it. -- and Emmanuel
:14:36. > :14:41.Macron. These people are anti-globalisation, very similar to
:14:42. > :14:49.people in the rust belts of Ohio and so on. He will be painted very much
:14:50. > :14:54.as part of the establishment. Does he have to take a tougher,
:14:55. > :14:59.clearer position on the key issue of immigration?
:15:00. > :15:03.I think he has to take a tougher position on a lot of issues. I spoke
:15:04. > :15:13.to somebody from the Economist last night who said when he was in power
:15:14. > :15:18.he had policies but now he has kept it pretty vague. In the next three
:15:19. > :15:21.or four weeks he will have to spill it out because he has to win a
:15:22. > :15:25.majority in parliament or he will have to depend on the right or the
:15:26. > :15:30.left and he will be pulled in two directions.
:15:31. > :15:33.We called this programme 100 Days to reflect a tradition for measuring
:15:34. > :15:37.Mr Trump this weekend appeared to downplay the importance of that
:15:38. > :15:38.fast-approaching deadline but certainly looks
:15:39. > :15:41.like he wants to reach 100 days with a flurry of activity.
:15:42. > :15:44.Tonight he'll have dinner with Senator John McCain,
:15:45. > :15:47.who he's been at odds with on a host of issues.
:15:48. > :15:51.On Wednesday he has promised to roll out proposals for tax reform.
:15:52. > :15:54.Two days later he'll be in Atlanta speaking
:15:55. > :15:57.to the National Rifle Association and on Saturday he holds
:15:58. > :16:04.an America First rally to coincide with his 100th day in office.
:16:05. > :16:11.A short time ago he called for tougher measures on North Korea.
:16:12. > :16:13.The status quo in North Korea is also unacceptable and the council
:16:14. > :16:16.must be prepared to propose additional and stronger sanctions
:16:17. > :16:18.on North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
:16:19. > :16:25.Whether we want to talk about it or not, North Korea is a big world
:16:26. > :16:30.problem and it's a problem we have to finally solve.
:16:31. > :16:32.People have put blindfolds on for decades and now it's time
:16:33. > :16:40.And we are joined now by the BBC's North America editor, Jon Sopel.
:16:41. > :16:48.President Trump has just said this in the White House about North
:16:49. > :16:56.Korea. But does he want? This is more than just a change in rhetoric
:16:57. > :16:59.from Barack Obama. There is a perception of the threat posed by
:17:00. > :17:02.North Korea and you speak to any number of officials in the White
:17:03. > :17:08.House and they will say the same thing. It is advice that the mob
:17:09. > :17:16.Trump has received that North Korea could pose very some annex -- very
:17:17. > :17:29.soon and existential threat. -- Donald Trump. We are seeing more
:17:30. > :17:33.bellicose words, the American battleship in the Korean Peninsula,
:17:34. > :17:36.working hard to get China on board but other nations as well to accept
:17:37. > :17:40.that there needs to be a tougher stand against North Korea going
:17:41. > :17:47.forward. He had a phone call with Angela Merkel and brought up North
:17:48. > :17:52.Korea. 100 days. President Trump produced a plan before he came to
:17:53. > :17:59.power for his first hundred days and now he says the first hundred days
:18:00. > :18:04.don't matter. My theory is that the things he spoke about most are the
:18:05. > :18:08.ones where he has achieved the least and vice versa. What he spoke the
:18:09. > :18:13.most about was building the wall and Mexico paying for it. Look at his
:18:14. > :18:17.most recent tweets, Mexico will pay for the war will eventually after
:18:18. > :18:22.some negotiation, possibly. Health care reform, couldn't get that
:18:23. > :18:34.through, that is going nowhere it seems. The ban on Muslims, locked in
:18:35. > :18:35.the courts. But he has his Supreme Court pick through, many
:18:36. > :18:41.conservatives are thrilled about that. He has made progress on the
:18:42. > :18:46.business confidence, that ephemeral feeling that people feel better
:18:47. > :18:49.things are around the corner. And the stock market. These are things
:18:50. > :18:54.he didn't speak much about but where he has made progress. He said he
:18:55. > :19:02.wouldn't get involved in tangled and is in Syria but the entanglement of
:19:03. > :19:14.selling those -- sending those rockets has proved popular.
:19:15. > :19:26.He seems to be in a hurry to to get things out to the media and then go
:19:27. > :19:35.back to his supporters. It seems he knows what the media are going to
:19:36. > :19:41.say about her. I think that he does feel that he has to go back to his
:19:42. > :19:45.base but even were he hasn't made progress, the base is solid with
:19:46. > :19:49.him. It is winning support from anybody else that is his real
:19:50. > :19:54.problem. His core supporters are delighted with anything he does.
:19:55. > :19:59.Many others who may be grave him grudging support are now may be
:20:00. > :20:03.wondering if that was right. -- maybe gave him. He doesn't know
:20:04. > :20:12.whether to hurry or to take stock, whether this is 100 metres or a
:20:13. > :20:15.marathon. Only 2% of Trump voters according to a new poll this weekend
:20:16. > :20:17.regret voting for him, a tiny number.
:20:18. > :20:19.Well, for any politician the most painful thing about losing
:20:20. > :20:25.The new book Shattered - by two reporters who followed her
:20:26. > :20:27.campaign from start to finish - looks at how Hillary Clinton
:20:28. > :20:35.A brief time ago I spoke to one of the co-authors, Jonathan Allen.
:20:36. > :20:41.Election night comes along, Donald Trump wins, all of the polls had
:20:42. > :20:48.predicted that Hillary Clinton would win but you weren't surprised that
:20:49. > :20:51.she lost. Why? I was surprised because I was looking at polls and
:20:52. > :20:54.believed that they were right. We had warning flags in our reporting
:20:55. > :21:00.and we were confused coming into election day. The editor of the book
:21:01. > :21:04.told me in October that he couldn't understand what we were writing
:21:05. > :21:07.because there were so many things that looked like she would lose and
:21:08. > :21:12.in fact she was going to win. We stuck with our reporting and even
:21:13. > :21:19.though we expected her to win we didn't report and write that way.
:21:20. > :21:24.You write about the fact that Clinton didn't have a rationale or
:21:25. > :21:31.didn't manage to articulate one for running and being president. It has
:21:32. > :21:35.been the huge flaw of hers throughout her sentence as a
:21:36. > :21:41.political player. She is somebody who likes dealing with problems and
:21:42. > :21:46.in government she has shown herself pretty competent but the ten years
:21:47. > :21:49.at least she has been running for President and never had that
:21:50. > :21:53.priority of what she would do with the power of the presidency. You
:21:54. > :21:59.look at Bernie Sanders, everybody knew what he was saying he would do.
:22:00. > :22:05.You look at Donald Trump, for all of the talk about things he said that
:22:06. > :22:12.were untreatable, it was pretty clear what he would do to change
:22:13. > :22:15.America. Hillary Clinton was 4 million policies, super well versed
:22:16. > :22:22.on them, incredibly intelligent, but a lot of voters had trouble
:22:23. > :22:31.understanding how she would ring change. -- Hillary Clinton had
:22:32. > :22:36.millions of policies. How bad was the infighting in the campaign? It
:22:37. > :22:46.was pretty bad but the passive aggressive. There is a scene where
:22:47. > :22:52.the campaign director was talking to somebody and they were talking about
:22:53. > :23:02.the campaign and the campaign manager says, Robbie is passive
:23:03. > :23:09.aggressive, I am just aggressive. Does Hillary Clinton realise how bad
:23:10. > :23:13.the candidate she was in retrospect? If she does it is not something she
:23:14. > :23:22.is talking about. What we have seen from her is blaming of Russia and
:23:23. > :23:26.the FBI director and the media and it is all external. One of the
:23:27. > :23:31.benefits of that her and her campaign team is it prevents people
:23:32. > :23:35.under the hood, as we have in this book, and seeing what was wrong
:23:36. > :23:42.internally. She described it to one friend as she lost it is of the KGB,
:23:43. > :23:49.the FBI and the KKK, the last part being the voters she once described
:23:50. > :23:55.as deplorables. As opposed to herself? Correct.
:23:56. > :24:04.In France Francois Fillon also snatched defeat from the jaws of
:24:05. > :24:09.victory and we will speak to one of his supporters in a while.
:24:10. > :24:11.Now we've already talked about President Trump's to-do list
:24:12. > :24:14.before he hits 100 days but if you were asked to come up
:24:15. > :24:17.with just one word to sum up these last few months what would it be?
:24:18. > :24:21.We've taken 100 of Donald Trump's favourites to try to sum it up.
:24:22. > :26:06.Extraordinary. The bad dude is nowhere to be seen.
:26:07. > :26:08.You're watching 100 Days from BBC News.
:26:09. > :26:22.Some of us felt today like we jumped back into -- into the middle of
:26:23. > :26:28.winter. In Aberdeenshire low lying snow. In the afternoon cold air is
:26:29. > :26:33.coming in after this cloud. The cold air will continue to follow. You can
:26:34. > :26:37.trace those isobars along way north, coming all the way from the Arctic
:26:38. > :26:44.and bringing further snow showers. The cold air filters through,
:26:45. > :26:48.leaving a cold night and the widespread frost. Further wintry
:26:49. > :26:52.showers in the mix as well. Most of them will be across more northern
:26:53. > :26:59.and eastern areas, a few out West as well. For many the skies will be
:27:00. > :27:03.clear and with the Arctic air in place to bridges will be dipping
:27:04. > :27:08.away, two or three in the towns and cities and lower in rural areas so a
:27:09. > :27:12.widespread frost to start the day. In Scotland, the wintry showers will
:27:13. > :27:16.still be going into the morning. Most will be at high grounds but
:27:17. > :27:20.some will get into lower areas, and in the north-east of England as
:27:21. > :27:26.well. Actually a lot of sunshine to many places but cold, three or 4
:27:27. > :27:30.degrees at 8am, and quite windy. At least there is some sunshine.
:27:31. > :27:37.Eastern and western coasts have a few early showers which could turn
:27:38. > :27:41.wintry over higher ground. A cold and wintry day for most buyers.
:27:42. > :27:48.Showers will develop quite widely, some with hail and thunder, quite
:27:49. > :27:52.heavy. Temperatures from six to 12 or 13 degrees, feeling cold,
:27:53. > :27:58.particularly in eastern areas, in the wind. If you are caught in a
:27:59. > :28:01.hail shower, strong gusty downdraughts, and it could feel
:28:02. > :28:09.around freezing. This evening, still quite a lot of showers, confined to
:28:10. > :28:17.more eastern areas overnight. You get a frost developing as well
:28:18. > :28:20.again, Wednesday will have some sunshine for western areas, a good
:28:21. > :28:25.chance of seeing some showers, which could be wintry over higher ground
:28:26. > :28:30.in the south and east. Towards the end of the week we will see the
:28:31. > :30:10.temperatures rise a bit as the westerly winds coming. -- come in.
:30:11. > :30:19.I mean Washington and Christian Fraser is lucky enough to be in
:30:20. > :30:23.Paris. -- I'm in Washington. As France looks now
:30:24. > :30:25.to the run-off vote for the French Presidential
:30:26. > :30:27.elections - we ask what has gone wrong
:30:28. > :30:29.for the political establishment. And it wasn't all fierce competition
:30:30. > :30:32.- the moment that has captured the imagination at the London
:30:33. > :30:44.Marathon. For the first time in almost 60
:30:45. > :30:47.years, neither of the two big parties will be in the final run-off
:30:48. > :30:50.for the French presidential It's a remarkable outcome
:30:51. > :30:53.which leaves the political establishment questioning
:30:54. > :30:59.where they went wrong. Until recently, the front
:31:00. > :31:01.runner to win the election was Republican candidate
:31:02. > :31:03.Francois Fillon - but he's Jean Francois Cope is
:31:04. > :31:14.Mayor of the city Meaux, You have just come from headquarters
:31:15. > :31:23.and there must be a lot of soul-searching. You have snatched
:31:24. > :31:27.defeat from the jaws of victory. Yes, we were expecting victory and
:31:28. > :31:34.today is a disaster for all of us and the great disappointment. Do you
:31:35. > :31:38.point me finger at Francois Fillon? He was under the weight of a lot of
:31:39. > :31:43.allegations. He took a big risk a man as he was the winner of the
:31:44. > :31:49.primaries we had to follow him. It was very difficult for all of us to
:31:50. > :31:54.say to Francois Fillon to get out. He had to make his own decision
:31:55. > :32:01.about that and as he decided to stay and run again, we did not have any
:32:02. > :32:06.other choice to follow him. Unfortunately we have been very
:32:07. > :32:14.strongly defeated. What happened a few weeks ago? Alain Juppe was
:32:15. > :32:20.waiting in the wings. We thought Francois Fillon was going to stand
:32:21. > :32:25.down. It did not happen. Did you say he had to go in the background? As
:32:26. > :32:29.usual in politics we were very divided, but at that time I was
:32:30. > :32:34.considering and many of my friends were considering as well that there
:32:35. > :32:41.was a real opportunity for Alain Juppe to take the place of Francois
:32:42. > :32:46.Fillon, by say, because of the judicial situation, you have got to
:32:47. > :32:50.resign. The real decision-making was Francois Fillon and he said he will
:32:51. > :32:56.be the winner. And we had to follow him. And you know the end of the
:32:57. > :33:00.story. You get to headquarters today, you have six weeks until the
:33:01. > :33:09.regional elections but your focus must now be to support Emmanuel
:33:10. > :33:14.Macron? Yes, because we do not have any other choice, and that was a
:33:15. > :33:23.terrible pity for a man like me. I'm on the right wing, advocating for
:33:24. > :33:27.economic reform, to implement these reforms for the country and to be
:33:28. > :33:34.very firm on questions of security, but I consider it is just impossible
:33:35. > :33:38.to let Marine Le Pen be the winner, because she will want to bring our
:33:39. > :33:45.country out of Europe. You know what it means... You lie you don't
:33:46. > :33:53.believe in the programme of Emmanuel Macron, though? -- you don't
:33:54. > :33:58.believe. We are European citizens in about the history this country and
:33:59. > :34:03.we know what means extremist and what means far right and it is
:34:04. > :34:08.impossible to bring any support, any kind of support to the far right,
:34:09. > :34:16.and that is why we have been considering that the only solution
:34:17. > :34:19.that we can bring is to say, we are voting for Emmanuel Macron as
:34:20. > :34:25.president, but then we are supporting our candidates for the
:34:26. > :34:29.next legislative election. You don't have a leader and he may well be
:34:30. > :34:32.president and he might say you have got to give me enough people in the
:34:33. > :34:37.National Assembly to force my plans through and that will undermine your
:34:38. > :34:48.party. That will be his argument, but our argument is to say that we
:34:49. > :34:51.have got to Waco -- regather ourselves and we have got to
:34:52. > :34:55.influences policy as much as we can, especially with structural economic
:34:56. > :35:01.reforms, the pension situation the tax system, we have many reforms
:35:02. > :35:06.that are a necessity for the country and we all know that. Maybe we will
:35:07. > :35:11.be able to help the new president to do it because he will have no other
:35:12. > :35:15.majority to do it. This is the challenge we have to face now. I
:35:16. > :35:23.wish we had more time. Thanks for joining us. Isn't it extraordinary?
:35:24. > :35:26.I would have put my house on Francois Fillon winning this
:35:27. > :35:34.election in January. You had Emmanuel Macron without the party,
:35:35. > :35:41.earlier movement. -- a party. I thought Francois Fillon was a
:35:42. > :35:44.guarantee, but after the allegations and the backbiting we thought he
:35:45. > :35:53.would stand down. But he wouldn't go and he was stubborn and till the
:35:54. > :35:57.end. Would another Conservative candidate have done better against
:35:58. > :36:00.Emmanuel Macron? That seems like a pretty loose indoor smoke from the
:36:01. > :36:04.mayor, if they are going to get their supporters out to support
:36:05. > :36:07.Emmanuel Macron, they are going to Emmanuel Macron, they are going to
:36:08. > :36:12.have to do a better job -- that seems like a pretty loose
:36:13. > :36:16.endorsement from the Mayor. If this is going to be about turnout, the
:36:17. > :36:21.second round, they will need more enthusiasm. We had a socialist
:36:22. > :36:26.senator and another support of runs while Philon and they said the same
:36:27. > :36:32.thing. -- another supporter of Francois Fillon. They are saying
:36:33. > :36:38.that Emmanuel Macron is aborting like he has already won, but there
:36:39. > :36:49.are many people who do not support him -- is celebrating like he has
:36:50. > :36:52.already won. You will be watching it closely, of course.
:36:53. > :36:56.And a short time ago, the United States imposed sanctions
:36:57. > :36:57.on Syrian government officials in response to the
:36:58. > :36:59.suspected chemical weapon attack earlier this month.
:37:00. > :37:02.The Treasury in Washington has frozen all assets in the US
:37:03. > :37:04.belonging to more than 270 employees of an organisation called
:37:05. > :37:06.the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Centre.
:37:07. > :37:09.American citizens will be forbidden from having any dealings with them.
:37:10. > :37:11.The US Defence Secretary, Jim Mattis, is in Afghanistan
:37:12. > :37:13.on an unannounced visit to meet US troops and the country's
:37:14. > :37:17.He's arrived at a somewhat chaotic time - the Afghan defence minister
:37:18. > :37:20.and army chief have just resigned following the deadliest Taliban
:37:21. > :37:24.attack on Armed Forces in more than a decade.
:37:25. > :37:28.And the US astronaut Peggy Whitson has broken the record for the most
:37:29. > :37:33.Commander Whitson already holds the record for the most spacewalks
:37:34. > :37:36.carried out by a female astronaut and is the first woman
:37:37. > :37:38.to command the International Space Station twice.
:37:39. > :37:40.President Trump telephoned her on board the ISS
:37:41. > :37:42.to congratulate her on surpassing the previous record
:37:43. > :37:54.Now to the man Hillary Clinton hoped to follow into office.
:37:55. > :37:59.After lying low for the past few months President Obama was back
:38:00. > :38:05.in the public eye today holding an event in Chicago, not
:38:06. > :38:07.about politics, but instead aimed at getting the next generation
:38:08. > :38:10.Although he couldn't help having a little fun.
:38:11. > :38:24.So... What's been going on at while I've been gone? It is wonderful to
:38:25. > :38:27.be home. It is wonderful to be at the University of Chicago and it is
:38:28. > :38:32.wonderful to be on the South side of Chicago. CHEERING
:38:33. > :38:36.It is wonderful to be with these young people here.
:38:37. > :38:41.He has said on Twitter a few times, but that is the first time he has
:38:42. > :38:45.spoken in public and he gave a teaser about what was going to be
:38:46. > :38:49.important to him in his next job. He said preparing the next generation
:38:50. > :38:53.was what he really wanted to do, the next generation of leadership.
:38:54. > :38:57.Though speculation about the state of the Democratic party which he
:38:58. > :39:02.left in some disarray when he stopped being president -- no
:39:03. > :39:09.speculation. And no comments about Donald Trump? No, he ignored him and
:39:10. > :39:15.Hillary Clinton and politics in general. Speaking instead about
:39:16. > :39:21.leadership and community service. That was President Obama, back from
:39:22. > :39:28.the Polynesian islands, I think, three weeks in the sun. He looks
:39:29. > :39:30.good. He has lost about ten years, I think.
:39:31. > :39:33.Now Christian - we know you have been enduring a marathon
:39:34. > :39:36.of your own covering the French election but in London yesterday
:39:37. > :39:39.more than 40,000 people hit the streets to cover 26.2 miles.
:39:40. > :39:42.Today there is one unforgettable moment everyone is still talking
:39:43. > :39:45.about and that is when an exhausted runner was helped across the finish
:39:46. > :39:54.The BBC's Dan Johnson has gone to meet them.
:39:55. > :39:58.After 26 miles this was a helping hand which summed up the spirit of
:39:59. > :40:03.the marathon, shared by so many. With sore legs and swirling social
:40:04. > :40:07.media, the IT manager from Manchester and the banker
:40:08. > :40:11.from Swansea spoke about those I was just trying
:40:12. > :40:15.to get to the line. My body went and I
:40:16. > :40:27.went to the ground. His legs were completely jelly and
:40:28. > :40:29.he said he was determined to finish. I helped him up and his legs went
:40:30. > :40:35.again. I realised I was going
:40:36. > :40:38.to have to stay with him When someone's in need
:40:39. > :40:42.you want to help them out. I couldn't let him lie
:40:43. > :40:44.on the ground there. I was shouting in his ear, saying,
:40:45. > :40:49."Come on, you can do this, it's 200 metres, we will finish -
:40:50. > :40:52.I'll stay with you". Maybe I was a bit
:40:53. > :40:55.overzealous with my support. Matthew was clear in knowing that
:40:56. > :41:08.if he leaves me there's a chance they will whisk me off and not
:41:09. > :41:11.let me get to the finish. If roles were reversed,
:41:12. > :41:16.would you have done the same thing? You are the first person
:41:17. > :41:21.to ask me that and that's Yeah, but it was
:41:22. > :41:39.special, what he did. It's a question could all consider.
:41:40. > :41:40.These are two competitive runners putting in good times, both under
:41:41. > :41:43.three hours. What the general public see
:41:44. > :41:46.there is the spirit of the running community and this happens
:41:47. > :41:48.all over the place. It just happened there were quite
:41:49. > :41:51.a few cameras trained on that. At that point,
:41:52. > :42:03.capturing that moment. A new friendship forged and David's
:42:04. > :42:09.club has offered to pay Matthew's entry next year, in recognition of
:42:10. > :42:13.the sacrifice, because it was officially be wobbly legs which got
:42:14. > :42:17.over the line first. But taking part is more important
:42:18. > :42:29.than winning, right? That is quite uncanny. By the end of
:42:30. > :42:34.the broadcast yesterday, my legs had gone a bit like that, and it was
:42:35. > :42:43.only you who said to me, you can make it. You trying compare standing
:42:44. > :42:48.in front of where you are now in Paris, compared to running the
:42:49. > :42:55.London Marathon? Yes, this pot, they were eating pizza, they were saying,
:42:56. > :43:01.keep going. -- this lot. If you go to Paris, you don't get on, that is
:43:02. > :43:04.what I would say to you. -- you don't get to complain.
