:00:11. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus.

:00:12. > :00:14.A car plows into a crowd in Times Square.

:00:15. > :00:21.One person is dead and 23 are injured.

:00:22. > :00:23.Officials say there is no indication it was terror-related

:00:24. > :00:29.as the vehicle drove at speed onto a pavement in the

:00:30. > :00:36.congressional enquiries, an FBI probe,

:00:37. > :00:38.the investigations into Trump and Russia stack up.

:00:39. > :00:43.The President says it's all a witch hunt.

:00:44. > :00:46.What does the former head of the CIA Leon Panetta

:00:47. > :00:48.make of the string of stories about the

:00:49. > :00:53.Also, this all comes as President Trump is

:00:54. > :00:55.set to depart on his first foreign trip.

:00:56. > :01:01.We're live in Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump's first stop.

:01:02. > :01:19.And, Fox News founder Roger Ailes dies at the age of 77.

:01:20. > :01:26.Not far from where I am a car has ploughed into a group

:01:27. > :01:34.One person is known to have died and 23 are injured.

:01:35. > :01:36.Police are saying it isn't terror-related but the location

:01:37. > :01:39.draws tourists from around the world and it comes at a time when people

:01:40. > :01:42.on both sides of the Atlantic are on edge about cars

:01:43. > :01:51.The mayor of New York has been speaking, this is what he had to

:01:52. > :01:56.say. So far what we know, 23 individuals were injured in this

:01:57. > :02:06.incident. That includes tragically one young woman who has passed away.

:02:07. > :02:09.The perpetrator is in custody, a United States citizen and a former

:02:10. > :02:10.member of the Armed Forces. INAUDIBLE

:02:11. > :02:13.The BBC's Nada Tawfik is on the scene for us

:02:14. > :02:23.What more do we know about the driver? What the NYPD has said is

:02:24. > :02:29.that this was a 26-year-old man from the Bronx, here in New York, New

:02:30. > :02:33.York native, former member of the Navy, they say that he does have a

:02:34. > :02:39.criminal history, he had two arrests for drunk driving, and after this

:02:40. > :02:45.incident happened, very quickly the NYPD arrested him and they say he is

:02:46. > :02:49.now being questioned. Obviously, if this happened in some other

:02:50. > :02:54.location, we might not be leading the programme with it, it might not

:02:55. > :02:56.be such important news, but this is a city still on edge from the

:02:57. > :03:00.prospect of terror attacks and looking at other countries were

:03:01. > :03:03.similar terror attacks have happened, what are they saying

:03:04. > :03:09.specifically about any link to possible terrorism?

:03:10. > :03:15.It is a scene that automatically brought up the biggest fears in the

:03:16. > :03:19.minds of New Yorkers, the authorities say that this is an hour

:03:20. > :03:22.and a half after the incident, from the best knowledge, they do not

:03:23. > :03:27.believe it was terror related, but of course we know that a car

:03:28. > :03:32.ploughing into pedestrians in Times Square, it really made people fear

:03:33. > :03:36.the worst in terms of it being a tactic that Isis has used over the

:03:37. > :03:40.Atlantic, in Europe, several times, in New York, this past September, an

:03:41. > :03:44.incident where a fuel pressure cooker bombs went off in lower

:03:45. > :03:48.Manhattan, and those words seem to be terror related as well. While the

:03:49. > :03:54.NYPD has said that they do believe this is isolated, they have Ian

:03:55. > :03:58.forced other key spots in New York City, out of an abundance of

:03:59. > :04:04.caution, but I suppose you could also say, to reassure New Yorkers.

:04:05. > :04:06.It's not that unusual for American presidents to be the subject

:04:07. > :04:10.Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush all faced special prosecutors.

:04:11. > :04:12.It is however unusual for Presidents to respond to those probes

:04:13. > :04:20.in the way Donald Trump did this morning.

:04:21. > :04:26.The president is Lily frustrated at the appointment of former FBI

:04:27. > :04:27.director Robert Muller to investigate his ties to Russia, this

:04:28. > :04:37.is what he said on Twitter: He also complained that there wasn't

:04:38. > :04:42.ever a special counsel appointed to investigate Hillary Clinton or

:04:43. > :04:44.Barack Obama. Donald Trump did not appoint Mr Mueller - the deputy

:04:45. > :04:46.Attorney General did. And the president was only told after the

:04:47. > :04:55.appointment order had been signed. But House Speaker Paul Ryan said

:04:56. > :04:59.it's business as usual. It is very important that people know that we

:05:00. > :05:02.can walk and chew gum at the same time, drama is not helpful in

:05:03. > :05:04.getting things done but we are still getting things done and that is the

:05:05. > :05:06.important point. So Mr Ryan says things

:05:07. > :05:08.are still getting done, but how serious is all this for Mr

:05:09. > :05:10.Trump? we're joined by former US

:05:11. > :05:20.Defence Secretary and CIA chief, What is your take, as you look back

:05:21. > :05:24.at the last ten days, I cannot believe it has been that quick, we

:05:25. > :05:29.have the firing of James Comey, the revelations that Donald Trump gave

:05:30. > :05:32.secrets to Russian officials, and reports that he tried to interfere

:05:33. > :05:40.with the investigation into the Russia probe. How damaging is all of

:05:41. > :05:47.this for the president? I don't think there is any question that a

:05:48. > :05:56.number of serious issues have been raised by these incidents is, that

:05:57. > :06:00.involved the possible violations of war, -- violations of law, there is

:06:01. > :06:03.no question, all of the incident you have mentioned, whether it is the

:06:04. > :06:10.Flint investigation, and efforts to deter that, the rush investigation,

:06:11. > :06:13.the firing of James Comey, the issue of whether the president released

:06:14. > :06:16.classified information to a foreign adversarial, all of those are issues

:06:17. > :06:20.for which he could be investigated. -- Flynn investigation. From be the

:06:21. > :06:25.best that has happened is that the deputy Attorney General did point

:06:26. > :06:30.Robert Mueller, a man of impeccable integrity, to act as special consul

:06:31. > :06:40.on this, and that is of some comfort to all of us in this country. It

:06:41. > :06:43.looks like Mr Trump protected Michael Flynn, put him in as

:06:44. > :06:48.national security adviser, out of some sense of loyalty and that he

:06:49. > :06:52.felt he had a right to interfere into the probe of Russia, by firing

:06:53. > :06:57.James Comey, putting pressure on him not to investigate Michael Flynn,

:06:58. > :07:02.does this raise questions for you about not so much if there is some

:07:03. > :07:06.nefarious deal between the Trump administration and the Russian

:07:07. > :07:10.government but whether Mr Trump has the character or the temperament to

:07:11. > :07:19.be able to make a success of his presidency? We all know that

:07:20. > :07:25.President Trump lacked political experience, lacked experience in

:07:26. > :07:29.governing, did not fully understand or appreciate the rules and laws

:07:30. > :07:37.that are involved when you are president of the United States. It

:07:38. > :07:40.shows in the way he behaved here. It was more the behaviour of somebody

:07:41. > :07:45.who operates is in the real estate industry, in New York City, as

:07:46. > :07:58.opposed to the president of the United States. A lot of questions.

:07:59. > :08:00.Behaviour that does not take into consideration the possibility of

:08:01. > :08:06.violating possible laws, he was acting more out of personal concern

:08:07. > :08:09.for what was happening, to somebody like general Flynn, but when you are

:08:10. > :08:15.president of the United States, your first responsibility is to protect

:08:16. > :08:19.and enforce the constitution of the United States, and the laws of this

:08:20. > :08:24.country. And I think the president has not appreciated the level of

:08:25. > :08:32.responsibility associated with his oath. You were brought in in 1994,

:08:33. > :08:36.to be Bill Clinton, president Bill Clinton's chief of staff, Clinton

:08:37. > :08:41.presidency had got into trouble, needed a reboot, you were the man

:08:42. > :08:45.brought in to oversee the reboot, do you think it would be possible now

:08:46. > :08:49.to have somebody come into the White House and get this presidency back

:08:50. > :08:57.on track, away from the scandals and back to doing business. Not

:08:58. > :09:00.impossible but an awful lot depends upon whether or not the President of

:09:01. > :09:08.the United States is willing to change the way he behaves in that

:09:09. > :09:10.office, if he does appoint a new team of individuals that are

:09:11. > :09:17.experienced in politics, appreciate the laws, appreciate how you deal

:09:18. > :09:20.with Congress and with the different institutions of democracy and is

:09:21. > :09:25.willing to listen to that person, then it is not impossible. He does

:09:26. > :09:29.have a strong national security team, for example, I have a great

:09:30. > :09:35.deal of respect for the quality of his national security team, he seems

:09:36. > :09:38.to want to listen to them, which is good. Can he do the same thing when

:09:39. > :09:44.it comes to domestic issues and issues that relate to the laws of

:09:45. > :09:47.this country? That is the question. That will determine to a large

:09:48. > :09:54.extent whether he survives in office. We are still not any

:09:55. > :09:59.clearer, are we, if Mr Trump was recording the conversations with

:10:00. > :10:01.James Comey, with also do not know if those contemporaneous notes

:10:02. > :10:07.exist, which Jim Comey allegedly made after the meeting, and what

:10:08. > :10:12.about the involvement of Vladimir Putin, offering to release

:10:13. > :10:18.transcripts of the meeting with Donald Trump, said a lover of and

:10:19. > :10:23.the Russian ambassador in the White House. Any time Vladimir Putin

:10:24. > :10:36.decides that he's going to inject himself into issues in this country,

:10:37. > :10:41.that becomes cause for concern. -- Sergey Lavrov. I'm pleased that

:10:42. > :10:47.Congress rejected that offer, he is a foreign adversarial, his interest

:10:48. > :10:50.is not in the interest of protecting the United States of America, his

:10:51. > :10:55.interest is in destabilising them, the United States, and I'm sure that

:10:56. > :10:59.he's enjoying the fact that in this country we are going through a

:11:00. > :11:03.certain amount of turmoil largely because the Russians tried to

:11:04. > :11:08.directly interfere in the election process. This country is smart

:11:09. > :11:11.enough to understand that we are not in the mood of cooperating with

:11:12. > :11:17.somebody who is a foreign adversarial. It seems you do not

:11:18. > :11:22.trust the benevolence of bad in Putin(!) so far, but the Saudis and

:11:23. > :11:25.Israelis have said they will carry on sharing intelligence information

:11:26. > :11:30.with the United States is. -- seems you do not trust the benevolence of

:11:31. > :11:36.Vladimir Putin. How dangerous do you think, the meeting with Sergey

:11:37. > :11:41.Lavrov, the intelligence that was passed on, how dangerous has that

:11:42. > :11:49.been to America's relationships? As somebody who was formerly involved

:11:50. > :11:51.in the CIA -- formerly. And with intelligence people... Not just

:11:52. > :11:59.formerly involved, you ran the place! And I really respect those

:12:00. > :12:03.people who work in our intelligence agencies, who are willing to put

:12:04. > :12:07.their life on the line in order to be able to gather the kind of

:12:08. > :12:14.intelligence that was presented to the president. I think it is

:12:15. > :12:18.irresponsible of the president to reveal classified information,

:12:19. > :12:22.particularly to a foreign adversarial, particularly classified

:12:23. > :12:27.information that could jeopardise the very source of intelligence that

:12:28. > :12:32.was presented to the president. It is not responsible, it is very

:12:33. > :12:36.damaging, sending a terrible signal to all of those sources that are out

:12:37. > :12:40.there, putting lives on the line to gather that kind of intelligence.

:12:41. > :12:45.This is a matter that I believe all to be investigated and looked at,

:12:46. > :12:50.and I think the president as to understand his responsibility as

:12:51. > :12:55.President of the United States, to protect the very people that are

:12:56. > :12:57.providing that kind of intelligence. Leon Panetta, thank you very much

:12:58. > :13:02.for joining us. Thank you. So Democrats had been

:13:03. > :13:04.calling for a special Republicans, at least

:13:05. > :13:07.the ones on Capitol Hill So what powers will Mr Mueller

:13:08. > :13:13.have in this role? A special counsel is

:13:14. > :13:15.a person appointed by head of the justice department,

:13:16. > :13:17.when an investigation by the Department itself might pose

:13:18. > :13:19.a conflict of interest, or if it's believed it's

:13:20. > :13:21.in the "public interest" He has the power to initiate

:13:22. > :13:29.investigations, subpoena records Robert Mueller will also be able

:13:30. > :13:33.to widen his jurisdiction, although he'd have to ask

:13:34. > :13:35.the Attorney General But not everyone thinks this

:13:36. > :13:38.appointment is a good idea. Joining us from Washington

:13:39. > :13:52.is Ron Christie, a former Why not? It is important to

:13:53. > :13:56.recognise what is going on in the United States government, it was

:13:57. > :14:00.engaged in a counterintelligence operation to ascertain whether or

:14:01. > :14:05.not the Russians had on properly influence the election, the

:14:06. > :14:08.appointment of a special counsel takes it out of the realm of

:14:09. > :14:10.counterintelligence, when there is not a prosecutor involved. --

:14:11. > :14:15.unproperly. Now we have some blue with prosecuting powers. Question a

:14:16. > :14:19.lot of Republicans ask in Washington, what is the underlying

:14:20. > :14:24.crime, I don't understand and I have not, from looking at the statement

:14:25. > :14:28.from Robert Mueller, I cannot see what underlying crime he may be

:14:29. > :14:31.looking at which Donald Trump, the president, or his associates are

:14:32. > :14:37.allegedly having considered violated. One possible case with the

:14:38. > :14:41.attraction of justice, if it was proven that Donald Trump asked Jim

:14:42. > :14:48.Crow me to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. -- James Comey.

:14:49. > :14:54.In the statutory, obstruction of justice, not only are you in a

:14:55. > :14:58.position where you are impeding somebody carrying out their response

:14:59. > :15:04.abilities but it is also about whether they bribe that individual,

:15:05. > :15:07.specific intent, the resident would have had to specifically intended

:15:08. > :15:11.not only to impede James Comey and his investigation but also bribe

:15:12. > :15:16.them as well, ice on the evidence I have heard so far, the facts in the

:15:17. > :15:19.case do not seem to meet the case that the president of the United

:15:20. > :15:24.States could have done that. Let's be clear, you are a Republican, you

:15:25. > :15:28.have conversations with this White House but often you have been

:15:29. > :15:31.critical of Donald Trump, so when Donald Trump tweets out this

:15:32. > :15:36.morning, using his own language, that this is the greatest witchhunt

:15:37. > :15:41.in history... Is there something there, that he is the subject of an

:15:42. > :15:47.unfair amount of investigation, do you think, and pressure from

:15:48. > :15:50.Democrats? You know, it shouldn't matter, you are the President of the

:15:51. > :15:54.United States, chief law enforcement officer in the country, sadly, I

:15:55. > :15:58.think Donald Trump, in some measure, if not large measure, brought the

:15:59. > :16:03.special counsel appointment on himself. You cannot send out a tweet

:16:04. > :16:07.that says, I hope it wasn't being recorded when I spoke to James

:16:08. > :16:10.Comey, he had better watch out...! Cannot say those things and not have

:16:11. > :16:15.members of Congress on both sides of the aisle in a nonpartisan way

:16:16. > :16:18.saying, is the President of the United States recording people who

:16:19. > :16:24.come to the Oval Office? Where are the transcript? And also, what else

:16:25. > :16:28.could he have been doing? ! His behaviour on Twitter, seems to be

:16:29. > :16:31.bringing this on himself, and he does not seem to have learned a

:16:32. > :16:38.lesson and heeded the warning that that can have serious consequences

:16:39. > :16:42.which he is now facing. Thank you for coming in. Always a pleasure.

:16:43. > :16:48.There is a long game and a short game here, in the short term, looks

:16:49. > :16:52.like the appointment of this special counsel is something of a blessing,

:16:53. > :16:57.because it takes the heat off, because you can say, there is a

:16:58. > :17:00.special counsel investigating it, it is under control, we will let Robert

:17:01. > :17:03.Mueller get on with the job. In the long term, the risk is that the

:17:04. > :17:07.special counsel comes up with something that proves some kind of

:17:08. > :17:10.illegality, then there is a whole heap of problems for the White

:17:11. > :17:14.House. Interesting how Republicans are saying, having resisted the idea

:17:15. > :17:17.of some kind of special investigation, right now at least

:17:18. > :17:21.they feel it is taking off some of the political pressure. The point

:17:22. > :17:25.that interests me, this could take years, we have this enquiry, plus

:17:26. > :17:29.all the others, which will take priority? There is the risk, Donald

:17:30. > :17:34.Trump could be completely exonerated, what there is the risk,

:17:35. > :17:40.this drip of more damaging headlines and information, keeping it there in

:17:41. > :17:47.the public domain, and eroding anymore confidence in the

:17:48. > :17:52.presidency. Yes, this is not going anywhere. Absolutely right! !

:17:53. > :17:55.In Brazil there are calls for the president to resign

:17:56. > :17:57.following newspaper reports that he authorised bribes to silence

:17:58. > :18:00.a potential witness in what has become a huge corruption scandal.

:18:01. > :18:02.President Temer is denying the allegations that say

:18:03. > :18:07.he authorised payments to Eduardo Cunha,

:18:08. > :18:09.a politician who was jailed in March for corruption,

:18:10. > :18:19.money laundering and tax evasion.

:18:20. > :18:25.Still in Latin America, Venezuela says it's sending more

:18:26. > :18:29.to the region of Tachira in order to control looting and rioting.

:18:30. > :18:31.There have been violent anti-government protests

:18:32. > :18:33.and three people were killed in Tachira this week.

:18:34. > :18:35.President Nicolas Maduro has accused the opposition of inciting violence

:18:36. > :18:39.John McCain called for the expulsion of Turkey's US ambassador

:18:40. > :18:41.after violence erupted between protesters and Turkish

:18:42. > :18:43.security personnel during President Tayyip Erdogan's

:18:44. > :18:50.Senator McCain said, "We should throw their ambassador the hell out

:18:51. > :19:00.Meanwhile, Britain's governing Conservative Party, has

:19:01. > :19:02.published its manifesto, for next month's general election.

:19:03. > :19:05.pensioners' incomes, and adopts policies aimed at helping

:19:06. > :19:08.It includes, proposals to address the shortfall

:19:09. > :19:16.in the social care budget, as people live longer.

:19:17. > :19:21.Viewers in Britain can get up to date with all of those events in the

:19:22. > :19:28.election wrap, which follows 100 days plus. That is on the BBC news

:19:29. > :19:33.channel from half past seven, right across the United Kingdom.

:19:34. > :19:35.With all the investigations into his administration,

:19:36. > :19:38.President Trump may be relieved to be getting out of town tomorrow.

:19:39. > :19:40.He leaves for a mammoth nine-day, five-city foreign excursion,

:19:41. > :19:42.it's first foreign trip since becoming President.

:19:43. > :19:44.It's also the first chance for people abroad to see how

:19:45. > :19:46.how he delivers on his "America first" pledge.

:19:47. > :19:49.The trip starts in the Middle East with visits to Saudi Arabia

:19:50. > :19:52.and Israel before moving onto Nato in Belgium then Italy where he'll be

:19:53. > :20:08.Also travelling to Sicily, as well. Interesting, he has chosen Saudi

:20:09. > :20:13.Arabia first, symbolic decision to make the first overseas trip, the

:20:14. > :20:17.birthplace of Islam, you have been to a White House briefing, what are

:20:18. > :20:22.the ambitions of the trip? Yesterday I had to duck out early, to rush to

:20:23. > :20:25.the White House for a briefing of a senior White House official, they

:20:26. > :20:33.have an ambitious agenda for the trip, laying out a series of steps

:20:34. > :20:37.concrete proposals that include the formation of a Nato like. The arable

:20:38. > :20:43.world, they are going to ask TCC countries, Gulf countries, to sign a

:20:44. > :20:47.pledge making it illegal for anyone to make contributions to terrorist

:20:48. > :20:54.organisations or terrorist linked organisations. They think they can

:20:55. > :20:57.get -- they think if they can get all the Gulf countries on board,

:20:58. > :21:01.that would give cover to some of the Gulf countries accused of allowing

:21:02. > :21:06.funds to get to so-called Islamic State, that would give them cover to

:21:07. > :21:12.sign the pledge. They are setting up a centre in Riyadh, which will

:21:13. > :21:16.combat the cyber war, combating Islamic State, and giving a counter

:21:17. > :21:20.to the growth and power of Iran in the region. I thought, from the

:21:21. > :21:24.briefing I have, that they sound very confident about the trip but a

:21:25. > :21:28.lot of the confidence is based on leash on ships. This is a president

:21:29. > :21:31.who thinks relationships are very important in foreign policy and when

:21:32. > :21:35.you push them for details and why would these countries do things they

:21:36. > :21:39.have never done before, it really comes down to the power of Donald

:21:40. > :21:43.Trump, to persuade countries to make concessions in a way that they have

:21:44. > :21:47.not. Interesting briefing, certainly an ambitious trip for the president.

:21:48. > :21:55.Giving a talk on Islamic extremism as well. We can go live to Riyadh,

:21:56. > :21:57.Lyse Doucet is the BBC's Chief International Correspondent and she

:21:58. > :22:05.joins us from Riyadh ahead of Donald Trump's first stop. You are quite

:22:06. > :22:11.dark, we can just see you. Getting a warmer welcome than Barack Obama.

:22:12. > :22:16.This is the anti-Obama visit, it is no secret that relations between the

:22:17. > :22:21.Saudi kingdom and the United States southward during president Obama's

:22:22. > :22:26.term, one of the leading ministers from one of the Gulf Arabic states

:22:27. > :22:32.said, if president Obama was about change, sympathising with the Arab

:22:33. > :22:36.Spring, then Donald Trump represents stability. He will arrive here on

:22:37. > :22:40.Saturday morning for the mother of all welcoming committees, not just

:22:41. > :22:44.the senior royal rulers of this kingdom, but senior members, the

:22:45. > :22:49.leaders of the Persian Gulf Arab Spring 's, and, 37 presidents,

:22:50. > :22:55.kings, prime ministers, from the Arabic Islamic world. Riyadh is

:22:56. > :22:59.making this a one-stop trip that president Trump can engage with the

:23:00. > :23:08.entire Muslim world, right here in Riyadh. The king, the custodian of

:23:09. > :23:14.the holiest sites in Islam, Mecca and Medina. Donald Trump is less

:23:15. > :23:21.reliant on Saudi oil, resume really will be looking to clinch big arms

:23:22. > :23:25.deals, what do we hear about that? Already done, and billion dollars,

:23:26. > :23:29.included, President Trump is the man who called on all his friends and

:23:30. > :23:34.allies to pay their own way, as you heard from Cathy, coming here with a

:23:35. > :23:40.big agenda, and what we heard from the Saudi Foreign Minister, it is an

:23:41. > :23:48.agenda that Saudi Arabia endorses 100%. Went through the list,

:23:49. > :23:51.fighting against extremists, fighting extremist groups including

:23:52. > :23:56.so-called Islamic State, so do we, he wants to push back against Iran,

:23:57. > :24:02.to stop its behaviour across this region, so do we, he said. He wants

:24:03. > :24:04.to strengthen the military cooperation, don't forget that Saudi

:24:05. > :24:10.Arabia as well as other countries were behind the formation of the new

:24:11. > :24:14.Arabic Islamic alliance, headed by a former Pakistani army chief.

:24:15. > :24:18.Afterwards, I spoke to the Saudi Foreign Minister and I said, if

:24:19. > :24:25.President Trump ask you to play your part, will you contribute troops, he

:24:26. > :24:31.said, yes. It was very complimentary about the strike on Syria by Donald

:24:32. > :24:34.Trump, calling it decisive and important. You know that area of the

:24:35. > :24:42.world welcome these things are confidence I heard in the White

:24:43. > :24:46.House yesterday is justified? It is justified when he comes to Saudi

:24:47. > :24:52.Arabia, what a coup for Saudi Arabia, first start, President

:24:53. > :24:56.Trump's first foreign visit. We were here when he introduced the travel

:24:57. > :24:59.ban, described as a Muslim ban, every single senior Saudi official

:25:00. > :25:03.we spoke with said President Trump is a man you can do business with,

:25:04. > :25:08.military business, economic business, political business, they

:25:09. > :25:12.think he is a man... This is what they think, superpower. Beyond,

:25:13. > :25:15.other countries around the world will be worried about President

:25:16. > :25:19.Trump, don't forget, the next stop is Israel, they are scrambling to

:25:20. > :25:23.discover what could be the cost of what appears to be or is alleged to

:25:24. > :25:30.be mishandling of intelligence information. In Saudi Arabia, thank

:25:31. > :25:34.you very much, it will be fascinating talking to you during

:25:35. > :25:37.the course of the trip, Lyse Doucet, and they have mentioned that they

:25:38. > :25:41.will have a very different attitude to human rights.

:25:42. > :25:45.You're watching 100 Days Plus from BBC News.

:25:46. > :25:47.Still to come for viewers on BBC World News,

:25:48. > :25:49.the Senate has gathered in Washington for a closed door

:25:50. > :25:51.briefing from the assistant Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein.
