:06:11. > :06:12.When you do the sums he actually took just over 43%

:06:47. > :06:56.populist to make the running and succeed where Marine Le Pen field?
:06:57. > :07:02.Yes, absolutely. Don't forget Jean-Luc Melenchon, who did well in
:07:03. > :07:07.the first round boat. Nearly 50% of the French people voted for a

:07:11. > :07:14.business over the next five years people will look at those figures
:07:15. > :07:17.and say he didn't really have the mandate and there is a risk that one

:07:39. > :07:42.the next President of France? At 39 years of age, he has limited
:07:43. > :07:44.political experience. He spent just two years
:07:45. > :07:46.as the Economy Minister in the socialist government
:07:47. > :07:48.of Francois Hollande. His performances in the TV
:07:49. > :07:50.debates were polished, on the campaign trail he appeared
:07:51. > :07:52.confident and in charge of his brief, but what about the man
:07:53. > :07:55.behind the politician? Tonight, the French voters will see
:07:56. > :07:58.a side to Emmanuel Macron The French network TF1 are to screen
:07:59. > :08:03.a fly-on-the-wall documentary. It's called Emmanuel Macron:
:08:04. > :08:05.Behind The Scenes Of The Victory . I have been speaking
:08:06. > :08:10.to director Yann L'Henoret. He followed Mr Macron for eight
:08:11. > :08:12.months, getting extraordinary access along the way,
:08:13. > :08:14.including the final moments last night before he made
:08:15. > :09:25.his acceptance speech. The most intriguing moment is this
:09:26. > :09:29.meeting between him and the centrist grandee, Francois Bayrou, he thought
:09:30. > :09:35.he was too young but was prepared to give him a go. Exactly. It was a
:09:36. > :09:39.very special sequence to shoot because Francois Bayrou was coming
:09:40. > :09:46.and was a little shy. He knew I was filming this meeting, which was a
:09:47. > :09:55.private one. I had to be very discreet and I did not look at him
:09:56. > :10:04.in the eye, for example. I just thought I would take my shots.
:10:05. > :10:10.Just a couple of weeks ago at the Whirlpool factory Marine Le Pen
:10:11. > :10:13.comes and stands with the workers outside the factory well he is
:10:14. > :11:22.inside with the bosses. He gets very tough with the staff. Very.
:11:23. > :11:32.He was disappointed that he didn't get... He thought he was doing
:11:33. > :11:37.everything right and Marine Le Pen was in the light and he was not. I
:11:38. > :11:47.think he thought it was unfair to be treated like this, so he gathered
:11:48. > :11:53.all of his group and said that he could not do it any more like this.
:11:54. > :11:57.He had to go and meet all the people, and that is what he is going
:11:58. > :12:05.to do anything for the next five years. Fascinating. It does sound
:12:06. > :12:09.like Yann L'Henoret is a fan of Mr Macron. When you were speaking to
:12:10. > :12:16.the director, what did he say about the evolution he sort of Mr Macron
:12:17. > :12:20.in the campaign, did he change in anyway as he got closer to the
:12:21. > :12:24.possibility of becoming President of France? Yes, I think you did.
:12:25. > :12:28.Obviously, there was a period and they had to build trust between each
:12:29. > :12:34.other as he was filming, but it was true that there was an evolution
:12:35. > :12:45.Emmanuel Macron. In the minutes -- at the beginning he worked in
:12:46. > :12:48.no-hoper. He got the sense he said through the campaign that he was
:12:49. > :12:52.starting to grow into the role. That moment there were you saw him at the
:12:53. > :12:57.factory telling his staff that he had to go out and take risks or
:12:58. > :13:02.otherwise he would be like Francois Hollande, he said that was the
:13:03. > :13:06.moment that he became the leader. The other interesting aspect was the
:13:07. > :13:10.role that his wife plays. Although he is very collegiate with the rest
:13:11. > :13:19.of his staff, when he comes off the televised debate has been at a rally
:13:20. > :13:23.he turns to her first and says, was a good? She writes his speeches,
:13:24. > :13:28.instruct him on where he has gone wrong. I think she will play a
:13:29. > :13:32.prominent role when he becomes president. One other thing come he
:13:33. > :13:39.is 39 years old. What have you done with your life up until now?
:13:40. > :13:44.President of what exactly? I have got to really up my game. I am even
:13:45. > :13:46.the number two on this programme! Never!
:13:47. > :13:48.There's breaking news out of Washington today
:13:49. > :13:50.about the investigation into the Trump campaign's
:13:51. > :13:55.This was when Donald Trump visited Barack Obama in the White House two
:13:56. > :14:01.What we didn't know, until today, is that
:14:02. > :14:03.during their 90 minute meeting, Mr Obama personally warned Mr Trump
:14:04. > :14:09.not to hire General Michael Flynn as part of the new administration.
:14:10. > :14:12.Now Obama allies are telling US reporters about the highly unusual
:14:13. > :14:19.Just a brief time ago, Sean Spicer addressed the reports
:14:20. > :14:33.It is true that the president... President Obama made it known that
:14:34. > :14:36.he wasn't a fan of general Flint, which shouldn't come as a surprise
:14:37. > :14:41.to anyone given that general Flynn had worked for President Obama, was
:14:42. > :14:45.outspoken critic of the shortcomings, specifically as it
:14:46. > :14:51.related to his lack of strategy in confronting Isis and other threats
:14:52. > :14:55.facing America. The question you have to hazard yourself is if
:14:56. > :15:00.President Obama was truly concerned about General Flint, why didn't he
:15:01. > :15:06.suspend his security clearance? Why did the Obama administration let him
:15:07. > :15:11.go to Russia for a speaking engagement and gap as the? -- get
:15:12. > :15:15.In the next few minutes we will hear a lot more
:15:16. > :15:18.about these ties to Russia, and Mr Flynn, when the former acting
:15:19. > :15:20.Attorney General Sally Yates testifies about Russian interference
:15:21. > :15:22.Here's what led to today's testimony.
:15:23. > :15:25.Ms Yates was asked by the Trump administration to stay
:15:26. > :15:27.on in the role until the President's nominee, Jeff Sessions,
:15:28. > :15:29.could take over President Trump then fired Yates in January
:15:30. > :15:32.after she refused to defend his travel ban immigration order.
:15:33. > :15:34.In a statement, Sean Spicer accuses Sally Yates of betraying
:15:35. > :15:38.Today, Congress will question Ms Yates about her warnings
:15:39. > :15:40.to the Trump team about the former national security advisor
:15:41. > :15:42.Michael Flynn and his contacts with Russia.
:15:43. > :15:44.Among those questioning her will be Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar,
:15:45. > :16:00.Are you surprised that President Obama intervened personally on the
:16:01. > :16:04.issue of Donald Trump hiring General Flynn, and how unusual would that
:16:05. > :16:11.be? I would imagine it is pretty unusual but this is someone that
:16:12. > :16:15.President Obama had fired from his administration, so that is also
:16:16. > :16:19.really unusual. President Obama didn't terminate a lot of his senior
:16:20. > :16:24.people, so that would be why it would be so unique. The second thing
:16:25. > :16:28.it is that it backs up other things we had been hearing. I haven't heard
:16:29. > :16:34.about the President Obama news until today. We have heard the actual
:16:35. > :16:37.Attorney General, Sally Yates, back then also warned them and I will be
:16:38. > :16:44.asking the questions about that today. This a series of warning that
:16:45. > :16:48.for good reason our intelligence officials are dealing with the man
:16:49. > :16:51.who basically lied to the vice president of the United States,
:16:52. > :16:56.someone who spoke to the Russian ambassador on the very day that
:16:57. > :17:00.President Obama had announced the expansion of sanctions against
:17:01. > :17:04.Russia. There is a whole series of conduct is here that our
:17:05. > :17:08.intelligence sources have tracked, conveyed to the people they were
:17:09. > :17:11.supposed to, then those people in good faith for warning the incoming
:17:12. > :17:18.administration than the actual administration about this problem.
:17:19. > :17:22.Donald Trump is suggesting this is Barack Obama's fault because it was
:17:23. > :17:28.Barack Obama who give General Flint security clearance in the first
:17:29. > :17:32.place. OK, first of all Barack Obama fired General Flynn. Secondly, years
:17:33. > :17:37.went by since that happened, so there had to be a new vetting
:17:38. > :17:41.process. Third, the reason that President Trump and his team seem to
:17:42. > :17:46.be giving his dad General Flynn was so loyal to President Trump. I have
:17:47. > :17:50.a lot of friends from high school who are loyal to me but that doesn't
:17:51. > :17:54.mean I put them in as national-security adviser. There are
:17:55. > :17:57.a lot of reasons to question President Trump waking up this
:17:58. > :18:02.morning than blaming President Obama for something that was clearly his
:18:03. > :18:05.decision and after they had been warned by the Acting Attorney
:18:06. > :18:10.General of the United States that this was a big security breach, but
:18:11. > :18:14.he had lied to the vice president, lied to government officials, he
:18:15. > :18:25.actually left this man in his position for 18 days. You will be
:18:26. > :18:27.interviewing Sally Yates shortly in the congressional hearings. What is
:18:28. > :18:30.the one thing you would like to hear from her fact could move this
:18:31. > :18:35.investigation/ Mark it is important that we establish her warnings were
:18:36. > :18:42.formal. There are some indications that they could have been more
:18:43. > :18:46.casual. I think whatever she can say that is not classified will be
:18:47. > :18:54.important in terms of exactly what she knew and what she believes that
:18:55. > :18:59.means. Also, remember the director will also be there. He has already
:19:00. > :19:03.in his testimony talked about Vladimir Putin's major focus on
:19:04. > :19:08.trying to hurt Hillary Clinton in the selection and trying to bring
:19:09. > :19:14.her down in the selection. I hope this will inject some seriousness
:19:15. > :19:20.into the administration coming forward with the information. 17
:19:21. > :19:22.intelligent agencies in the United States have firmly said that a
:19:23. > :19:26.foreign power was trying to influence our elections. This should
:19:27. > :19:32.not just be a concern about one political party or a election, it is
:19:33. > :19:36.the concern of all democracies around the world. That is why I want
:19:37. > :19:40.an independent commission to our panel of experts and, with
:19:41. > :19:41.recommendations of what we do have this happens again and how we can
:19:42. > :19:53.prevent it. As Senator Amy Klobuchar indicated
:19:54. > :19:57.there, there has been more than one temp two pass the buck.
:19:58. > :19:59.President Trump gave it another go on Twitter today.
:20:00. > :20:01.General Flynn was given the highest security clearance
:20:02. > :20:04.by the Obama Administration - but the Fake News seldom likes
:20:05. > :20:09.He also tweeted: Ask Sally Yates, under oath, if she knows how
:20:10. > :20:11.classified information got into the newspapers soon
:20:12. > :20:27.He is busy trying to smear Sally Yates bid through that week. A lot
:20:28. > :20:30.of people at home will be wondering if we keep hearing about this Russia
:20:31. > :20:38.investigation but when will it come a head? I am almost beginning to
:20:39. > :20:44.feel sorry for General Flint at the moment. Nobody wants to own this
:20:45. > :20:51.guy. He has been left at the cold, he is by lawyers. Night Donald Trump
:20:52. > :20:56.and saying it is all Barack Obama's fault. I think the real issue, why
:20:57. > :21:01.it matters to people here in the United States, two people in France,
:21:02. > :21:05.Britain, Germany later on this year, is that this really is all about
:21:06. > :21:13.Russian involvement in the democratic process. Glad your Putin
:21:14. > :21:15.and his cohort is's attempts to undermine Western democratic
:21:16. > :21:20.processes. That is why these investigations are important.
:21:21. > :21:24.Democrats are saying that they are being stonewalled, not getting the
:21:25. > :21:27.information that they need to push these investigations forward, both
:21:28. > :21:32.in the Senate or in the house and this could take a long time, which
:21:33. > :21:34.is also why some of them are saying we need an independent investigator
:21:35. > :21:43.because they don't trust the republicans to carry this through
:21:44. > :21:49.faithfully. On General Flynn, he has offered to give some evidence to the
:21:50. > :21:55.Senate so long as he is not charged. What is going on with that? Both
:21:56. > :21:59.republicans and Democrats have said they will not give him immunity. The
:22:00. > :22:03.people on the committees would like to question him but they haven't
:22:04. > :22:12.done so yet. He is a key part of this. So far, as far as we know, he
:22:13. > :22:15.was steps from the oval office as national security adviser, he had
:22:16. > :22:21.access to the top secret in the country, yet he had this past with
:22:22. > :22:22.Russia that is some inexplicable. That is an extraordinary situation
:22:23. > :22:25.for the country to find itself in. Who's responsibility
:22:26. > :22:27.is it to stop fake news? Facebook clearly thinks it should
:22:28. > :22:31.at least be seen to try. Ahead of the UK election,
:22:32. > :22:34.the tech giant has placed ads in several British newspapers
:22:35. > :22:37.with ten tips on how to spot After facing criticism in the US
:22:38. > :22:44.campaign that fake news stories spread on Facebook affected
:22:45. > :22:48.the election, the tech giant clearly Our technology correspondent
:22:49. > :22:55.Rory Cellan Jones reports. It's a term that became familiar
:22:56. > :22:57.during last year's American Fake news stories made up
:22:58. > :23:02.to make money or act And its Facebook which has taken
:23:03. > :23:08.much of the blame for spreading Now the social network says it's
:23:09. > :23:13.doing everything it can to tackle With these newspaper adverts
:23:14. > :23:19.part of that effort. Facebook says it is to bring up
:23:20. > :23:22.the battle against fake news. It is giving its users a guide
:23:23. > :23:25.to spotting what it calls false news, it is closing tens
:23:26. > :23:29.of thousands of fake UK accounts which might spread misinformation,
:23:30. > :23:33.and it is working with fact checking organisations during
:23:34. > :23:37.the election campaign. So, what happens if a friend shares
:23:38. > :23:40.what you think is a fake Well, it's not blindingly
:23:41. > :23:45.obvious but you go here, go down to report post,
:23:46. > :23:51.I think it shouldn't be on Facebook is the choice here, you continue,
:23:52. > :23:54.then you get the option at the bottom of its

:23:59. > :24:00.that you should end up with an independent
:24:01. > :24:03.fact checking organisation. One of those organisations thinks
:24:04. > :24:07.the social network needs to do more. There is a responsibility
:24:08. > :24:10.for Facebook to look at how do we change Facebook itself to make it
:24:11. > :24:13.easier for people to spot the sites that are not what they are cracked
:24:14. > :24:18.up to be on things that need to be Yes, this is good stuff

:25:40. > :25:43.Still to come for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News:
:25:44. > :25:45.We visit the Chicago church where half the congregation
:25:46. > :25:47.is undocumented immigrants - it's giving sanctuary to families
:25:48. > :25:54.I'm here in Paris, where we are looking
:25:55. > :25:56.at Emmanuel Macron's first 24 hours as President-elect in France.
:25:57. > :26:09.That's still to come on 100 Days Plus, from BBC News.
:26:10. > :26:16.The weather has been very dry lately and there is more dry weather on the
:26:17. > :26:20.way for most of this week. There is a change on the way. At the time we
:26:21. > :26:25.get to Friday that QB thunderstorms around, but in the short term the
:26:26. > :26:31.weather is looking good. This picture was taken earlier today in
:26:32. > :26:35.Scotland. The East Coast has been very cloudy. A lot of cloud across
:26:36. > :26:39.many used in areas stretching from Easter in Scotland through Yorkshire
:26:40. > :26:43.down into the south-east, but these western areas enjoying the sunshine.
:26:44. > :26:48.No change this evening so starry skies across western areas, whereas
:26:49. > :26:52.in the east we keep that blue, grey skies with the wind coming in the
:26:53. > :27:00.North Sea. Amateurs not desperately low tonight, seven or eight degrees.
:27:01. > :27:05.Tomorrow morning, across Scotland, waking up to Crystal clear blue
:27:06. > :27:10.skies there. Stunning weather for Belfast, not a bad Randy Irish Sea,
:27:11. > :27:15.most of coastal of Wales. Further inland there might be more cloud
:27:16. > :27:20.around. Beautiful in Cornwall and western parts of Devon. In central
:27:21. > :27:25.and eastern areas, up to Newcastle, probably staying on the cloudy side.
:27:26. > :27:30.Tomorrow, eastern and central areas will remain cloudy and some of them
:27:31. > :27:33.will stay pretty chilly. If you are in Norwich or how little feel cold,
:27:34. > :27:40.temperatures barely into double figures, whereas 18 degrees for
:27:41. > :27:44.Belfast. Then we will have a cold night tomorrow night into Wednesday.
:27:45. > :27:51.The butchers and cities will dip all the way down to just 2 degrees.
:27:52. > :27:57.There will be a grass frost here. Then we have a fine day. Thicker
:27:58. > :28:01.cloud for the Northern Isles, and it will be cold. That was the into
:28:02. > :28:05.Thursday, we will start to see some changes as this low pressure will
:28:06. > :28:10.send thicker cloud and spots of rain and our direction. It will be heavy
:28:11. > :28:16.rainfall. Further north it is looking absolutely fine, 17 degrees
:28:17. > :28:17.in Glasgow. Into Friday, we could even see some thunderstorms
:28:18. > :28:22.developing across southern and central areas and through the
:28:23. > :28:27.weekend the trend is for the south-westerly winds to pick up and
:28:28. > :30:06.trying cloud and rain, so rain is on the way.
:30:07. > :30:15.The French president-elect Emmanuel Macron is beginning
:30:16. > :30:18.the process of forming a government, while his fledgling political
:30:19. > :30:23.movement now targets a parliamentary majority in next months elections.
:30:24. > :30:27.The former acting Attorney General Sally Yates,
:30:28. > :30:30.will testify in the Senate in a few moments about Russian interference
:30:31. > :30:36.in the US election and the Trump team's associations with Moscow.
:30:37. > :30:44.A foreign power was trying to influence our election and this
:30:45. > :30:51.Should not be just a concern of one political party or election, it
:30:52. > :30:56.should be the concern of democracies around the world.
:30:57. > :30:58.Emmanuel Macron now faces the reality of winning.
:30:59. > :31:04.His victory came as a huge relief to European Union allies -
:31:05. > :31:06.Angela Merkel said he carries the hopes of millions of French
:31:07. > :31:11.people, and of many in Germany and the whole of Europe.
:31:12. > :31:14.But after all the euphoria last night, Mr Macron is straight back
:31:15. > :31:17.into it today and there's no respite from campaigning.
:31:18. > :31:19.A little earlier I spoke with one of his senior adviser
:31:20. > :31:24.about his first 24 hours on the job.
:31:25. > :31:27.Yesterday, he already spoke with the Prime Minister
:31:28. > :31:39.Today, he's receiving messages from the President of Chile, he had
:31:40. > :31:46.a telegram from President Putin of Russia, so this is
:31:47. > :31:50.where he is going to manage first his team then
:31:51. > :31:57.and get messages from people from all over the world.
:31:58. > :32:00.What is your thinking when it comes to PM?
:32:01. > :32:02.It's a very symbolic position at a time when he doesn't
:32:03. > :32:14.He says he has someone in his mind, I will tell
:32:15. > :32:19.He want somebody to be strong, politically strong,
:32:20. > :32:21.to make sure they have experience with Parliament.
:32:22. > :32:23.As you know, we have elections coming up,
:32:24. > :32:33.To reform France, present Macron wants to have a strong majority,
:32:34. > :32:36.We won the election, we understand that this country
:32:37. > :32:43.is angry and expecting a lot of things.
:32:44. > :32:47.We want to build something new which is going to be
:32:48. > :32:56.With that in mind, in the pictures we have seen today, he is close
:32:57. > :32:59.thing he will lean left, is he someone who can
:33:00. > :33:05.The symbol is much more what happened.
:33:06. > :33:12.It is not necessarily about being close to Higham.
:33:13. > :33:15.It is a new president, Emmanuel Macron resigns.
:33:16. > :33:25.At the time, the president was Hollande.
:33:26. > :33:27.He resigned because he wanted to go further.
:33:28. > :33:32.But he doesn't need anything more than unity
:33:33. > :33:37.between two men and is aware of the position of power.
:33:38. > :33:41.He wants to go further with Europe and deeply integrating Europe
:33:42. > :33:43.that clearly has implications for Britain and Brexit.
:33:44. > :33:46.When he came to Downing Street, he said he wanted to bring
:33:47. > :33:48.back French companies, and it couldn't be possible
:33:49. > :33:55.to Brexit to be better than being in the EU.
:33:56. > :34:00.He will be extremely careful about Brexit.
:34:01. > :34:02.He says he will speak with Great Britain
:34:03. > :34:08.He wants to protect the French people as you know, we have many
:34:09. > :34:12.I think his message was really clear, as you pointed out,
:34:13. > :34:21.He wants to be vigilant, cautious, he wants to protect France,
:34:22. > :34:24.who wants to work for the best interests of the French people.
:34:25. > :34:28.One final issue, outside the issue of scull the framework of the EU,
:34:29. > :34:35.there is the Le Touquet agreement between Britain
:34:36. > :34:41.Lets see what happens, I will not comment on that at this moment.
:34:42. > :34:51.It is not a tricky issue at the moment, I just slept
:34:52. > :34:54.for two ours and we need to be careful of the words
:34:55. > :34:58.We will try to do something that has never been done before.
:34:59. > :35:00.Coming from a civil society, I know from a long time ago,
:35:01. > :35:06.So I will not comment at this when you do an interview.
:35:07. > :35:09.So I will not comment at this moment.
:35:10. > :35:11.Christian, that's interesting - she's not commented on the border
:35:12. > :35:13.issue but this morning Emmanuel Macron's chief economic
:35:14. > :35:16.adviser told the BBC that Mr Macron would be a hard negotiator -
:35:17. > :35:18.but he wouldn't want to punish Britain for its
:35:19. > :35:23.Yes, it is clearly a sensitive issue for them.
:35:24. > :35:29.And they do intend to discuss it in the weeks ahead.
:35:30. > :35:32.Emmanuel Macron himself suggested that he wants to renegotiate
:35:33. > :35:36.Here's what Theresa May had to say earlier today.
:35:37. > :35:47.As for the Le Touquet agreement, it worked to the benefit of the UK and
:35:48. > :35:51.France. Obviously, in the government will be sitting down and talking to
:35:52. > :35:55.Mr Macron and others, about how the system has worked. Both for the
:35:56. > :36:05.benefit of France and the UK. Read the Westminster tea leaves for
:36:06. > :36:08.me, you have Theresa May congratulating Macron saying he got
:36:09. > :36:13.a fair victory, but there must be some consternation in London as they
:36:14. > :36:19.go into the Brexit negotiations that Brussels's hand strengthened. By
:36:20. > :36:25.Emmanuel Macron's convincing victory? They probably would have
:36:26. > :36:29.preferred Francois Fillon, but they probably wouldn't have wanted to
:36:30. > :36:33.work with Marine Le Pen even though she might have been better for
:36:34. > :36:36.Brexit, it would have meant serious trouble here in France. Emmanuel
:36:37. > :36:40.Macron is a banker so he knows the world of finance, that is perhaps a
:36:41. > :36:46.positive thing. But he wants a stronger Europe, a more reformed
:36:47. > :36:52.Europe, and an integrated Europe. He doesn't want to let Brighton threat
:36:53. > :36:57.that. Macron' economic credentials -- he doesn't want to let Brexit sat
:36:58. > :37:05.on that. His economic credentials was a big part of his campaign, one
:37:06. > :37:06.in four adults don't have up for full-time job, and there was high
:37:07. > :37:08.unemployment. The question is what can
:37:09. > :37:11.he actually do about France's high unemployment rate -
:37:12. > :37:14.one in four young adults in this I've been speaking to Pierre Gattaz,
:37:15. > :37:21.head of the employers' People will trust, business people
:37:22. > :37:23.like me. We trust the fact that this guy is moving France into the right
:37:24. > :37:27.direction. The business community might trust, will the people? So
:37:28. > :37:34.many times before, we have seen presidents take on difficult issues
:37:35. > :37:36.like pensions and labour were formed, and then they come to the
:37:37. > :37:48.barricades and they are watered down. Francois Lance did not --
:37:49. > :37:54.Hollande did not do that but Macron has, he announced that. Hollande did
:37:55. > :37:58.not announce that. He said he could push it through by presidential
:37:59. > :38:03.decree? I'm wondering if that is a gamble giving he doesn't have a
:38:04. > :38:09.party or a movement, he doesn't have MP Polmont? The majority of the
:38:10. > :38:15.people in France once reforms. Even if he does not either party, if he
:38:16. > :38:18.does not have a majority in this election, he can have people from
:38:19. > :38:26.the Republicans on the right side, and on the left side. People like
:38:27. > :38:32.the former Minister of France, ten vote for reforms. Even if he does
:38:33. > :38:34.not have the majority, I believe there will be some kind of
:38:35. > :38:39.coalition. This is my hope and my bet. It should work.
:38:40. > :38:47.As producers are tiny wee uptight full-time and you and I talk -- our
:38:48. > :38:55.producers tell me we are uptight full-time. Can he reformed the
:38:56. > :39:01.French economy? What do you think? There was a Prime Minister years ago
:39:02. > :39:07.that is that we have a fertile country in France, we want a
:39:08. > :39:11.bureaucrat and regrow taxes. That is the problem for years. Which
:39:12. > :39:15.President will get the guts of France spending and reform the
:39:16. > :39:27.French economy so they can grow jobs? All armed and Sarkozy both
:39:28. > :39:28.bailed, can Macron make a difference -- Hollande and Sarkar the posts
:39:29. > :39:34.failed. Donald Trump has made Donald
:39:35. > :39:37.illegal immigrants here They are fighting the president's
:39:38. > :39:41.deportation orders and offering sanctuary to families
:39:42. > :39:43.who could be deported. The BBC's Olivia Lace Evans has gone
:39:44. > :39:46.to visit one Chicago church that has offered to hide undocumented
:39:47. > :39:48.families and is now challenging immigration
:39:49. > :39:50.authorities to launch a raid. which are going to tell them, here
:39:51. > :39:59.they are. We you will separate the family, you
:40:00. > :40:03.will alert while the whole world is watching. The election of President
:40:04. > :40:07.Donald Trump, it has injected an incredible amount of fear into our
:40:08. > :40:20.community. We have five families that have
:40:21. > :40:29.already been given a deadline, they have to carve a one-way ticket and a
:40:30. > :40:34.they will be deported and their family will be split up. We go
:40:35. > :40:39.through each case individually to see what we can do. We have
:40:40. > :40:44.attorneys with us and we are fighting those cases of deportation,
:40:45. > :40:48.individuals using whatever legal avenues open to us. At the end of
:40:49. > :40:56.the day, we want our families as a last resort to take thanks we here
:40:57. > :41:14.in the church. -- to take sanctuary here in the desert.
:41:15. > :41:25.I am a US citizen and I am applied to be in the country. But somebody
:41:26. > :41:28.made a mistake with our application. We do not have anything in Mexico.
:41:29. > :41:43.Our whole lives, we are living here. This is the shower that we created,
:41:44. > :41:47.now people don't have to leave the building in order to take a shower
:41:48. > :41:51.here. That is what sanctuary is. You have to provide them with everything
:41:52. > :41:59.they have and a home. And that is what we will do here for our
:42:00. > :42:05.families. Right now, Donald Trump is fighting in Syria for protecting
:42:06. > :42:18.kids that they are here in the country. US citizens kids, separated
:42:19. > :42:31.from their mothers. I don't know how he is doing this.
:42:32. > :42:35.One church giving sanctuary in Chicago. If you look at the numbers,
:42:36. > :42:39.it is not clear that President Trump in the first few months of his
:42:40. > :42:44.presidency is actually deported more people than Obama did in the same
:42:45. > :42:48.period. The arrest numbers are up but the numbers of deportations look
:42:49. > :42:52.about the same. One thing that is clear is that the fear level has
:42:53. > :42:55.increased, the illegal immigrant are all talking about. They are nervous
:42:56. > :43:01.about their status in America in a way that they were not under last
:43:02. > :43:04.presidency. Plenty of anxieties. My trip here in Paris has come to an
:43:05. > :43:07.end, I'll be in London tomorrow. Thanks for watching, goodbye.
