Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus.

:00:11.:00:11.

A car plows into a crowd in Times Square.

:00:12.:00:14.

One person is dead and 23 are injured.

:00:15.:00:21.

Officials say there is no indication it was terror-related

:00:22.:00:23.

as the vehicle drove at speed onto a pavement in the

:00:24.:00:29.

congressional enquiries, an FBI probe,

:00:30.:00:36.

the investigations into Trump and Russia stack up.

:00:37.:00:38.

The President says it's all a witch hunt.

:00:39.:00:43.

What does the former head of the CIA Leon Panetta

:00:44.:00:46.

make of the string of stories about the

:00:47.:00:48.

Also, this all comes as President Trump is

:00:49.:00:53.

set to depart on his first foreign trip.

:00:54.:00:55.

We're live in Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump's first stop.

:00:56.:01:01.

And, Fox News founder Roger Ailes dies at the age of 77.

:01:02.:01:19.

Not far from where I am a car has ploughed into a group

:01:20.:01:26.

One person is known to have died and 23 are injured.

:01:27.:01:34.

Police are saying it isn't terror-related but the location

:01:35.:01:36.

draws tourists from around the world and it comes at a time when people

:01:37.:01:39.

on both sides of the Atlantic are on edge about cars

:01:40.:01:42.

The mayor of New York has been speaking, this is what he had to

:01:43.:01:51.

say. So far what we know, 23 individuals were injured in this

:01:52.:01:56.

incident. That includes tragically one young woman who has passed away.

:01:57.:02:06.

The perpetrator is in custody, a United States citizen and a former

:02:07.:02:09.

member of the Armed Forces. INAUDIBLE

:02:10.:02:10.

The BBC's Nada Tawfik is on the scene for us

:02:11.:02:13.

What more do we know about the driver? What the NYPD has said is

:02:14.:02:23.

that this was a 26-year-old man from the Bronx, here in New York, New

:02:24.:02:29.

York native, former member of the Navy, they say that he does have a

:02:30.:02:33.

criminal history, he had two arrests for drunk driving, and after this

:02:34.:02:39.

incident happened, very quickly the NYPD arrested him and they say he is

:02:40.:02:45.

now being questioned. Obviously, if this happened in some other

:02:46.:02:49.

location, we might not be leading the programme with it, it might not

:02:50.:02:54.

be such important news, but this is a city still on edge from the

:02:55.:02:56.

prospect of terror attacks and looking at other countries were

:02:57.:03:00.

similar terror attacks have happened, what are they saying

:03:01.:03:03.

specifically about any link to possible terrorism?

:03:04.:03:09.

It is a scene that automatically brought up the biggest fears in the

:03:10.:03:15.

minds of New Yorkers, the authorities say that this is an hour

:03:16.:03:19.

and a half after the incident, from the best knowledge, they do not

:03:20.:03:22.

believe it was terror related, but of course we know that a car

:03:23.:03:27.

ploughing into pedestrians in Times Square, it really made people fear

:03:28.:03:32.

the worst in terms of it being a tactic that Isis has used over the

:03:33.:03:36.

Atlantic, in Europe, several times, in New York, this past September, an

:03:37.:03:40.

incident where a fuel pressure cooker bombs went off in lower

:03:41.:03:44.

Manhattan, and those words seem to be terror related as well. While the

:03:45.:03:48.

NYPD has said that they do believe this is isolated, they have Ian

:03:49.:03:54.

forced other key spots in New York City, out of an abundance of

:03:55.:03:58.

caution, but I suppose you could also say, to reassure New Yorkers.

:03:59.:04:04.

It's not that unusual for American presidents to be the subject

:04:05.:04:06.

Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush all faced special prosecutors.

:04:07.:04:10.

It is however unusual for Presidents to respond to those probes

:04:11.:04:12.

in the way Donald Trump did this morning.

:04:13.:04:20.

The president is Lily frustrated at the appointment of former FBI

:04:21.:04:26.

director Robert Muller to investigate his ties to Russia, this

:04:27.:04:27.

is what he said on Twitter: He also complained that there wasn't

:04:28.:04:37.

ever a special counsel appointed to investigate Hillary Clinton or

:04:38.:04:42.

Barack Obama. Donald Trump did not appoint Mr Mueller - the deputy

:04:43.:04:44.

Attorney General did. And the president was only told after the

:04:45.:04:46.

appointment order had been signed. But House Speaker Paul Ryan said

:04:47.:04:55.

it's business as usual. It is very important that people know that we

:04:56.:04:59.

can walk and chew gum at the same time, drama is not helpful in

:05:00.:05:02.

getting things done but we are still getting things done and that is the

:05:03.:05:04.

important point. So Mr Ryan says things

:05:05.:05:06.

are still getting done, but how serious is all this for Mr

:05:07.:05:08.

Trump? we're joined by former US

:05:09.:05:10.

Defence Secretary and CIA chief, What is your take, as you look back

:05:11.:05:20.

at the last ten days, I cannot believe it has been that quick, we

:05:21.:05:24.

have the firing of James Comey, the revelations that Donald Trump gave

:05:25.:05:29.

secrets to Russian officials, and reports that he tried to interfere

:05:30.:05:32.

with the investigation into the Russia probe. How damaging is all of

:05:33.:05:40.

this for the president? I don't think there is any question that a

:05:41.:05:47.

number of serious issues have been raised by these incidents is, that

:05:48.:05:56.

involved the possible violations of war, -- violations of law, there is

:05:57.:06:00.

no question, all of the incident you have mentioned, whether it is the

:06:01.:06:03.

Flint investigation, and efforts to deter that, the rush investigation,

:06:04.:06:10.

the firing of James Comey, the issue of whether the president released

:06:11.:06:13.

classified information to a foreign adversarial, all of those are issues

:06:14.:06:16.

for which he could be investigated. -- Flynn investigation. From be the

:06:17.:06:20.

best that has happened is that the deputy Attorney General did point

:06:21.:06:25.

Robert Mueller, a man of impeccable integrity, to act as special consul

:06:26.:06:30.

on this, and that is of some comfort to all of us in this country. It

:06:31.:06:40.

looks like Mr Trump protected Michael Flynn, put him in as

:06:41.:06:43.

national security adviser, out of some sense of loyalty and that he

:06:44.:06:48.

felt he had a right to interfere into the probe of Russia, by firing

:06:49.:06:52.

James Comey, putting pressure on him not to investigate Michael Flynn,

:06:53.:06:57.

does this raise questions for you about not so much if there is some

:06:58.:07:02.

nefarious deal between the Trump administration and the Russian

:07:03.:07:06.

government but whether Mr Trump has the character or the temperament to

:07:07.:07:10.

be able to make a success of his presidency? We all know that

:07:11.:07:19.

President Trump lacked political experience, lacked experience in

:07:20.:07:25.

governing, did not fully understand or appreciate the rules and laws

:07:26.:07:29.

that are involved when you are president of the United States. It

:07:30.:07:37.

shows in the way he behaved here. It was more the behaviour of somebody

:07:38.:07:40.

who operates is in the real estate industry, in New York City, as

:07:41.:07:45.

opposed to the president of the United States. A lot of questions.

:07:46.:07:58.

Behaviour that does not take into consideration the possibility of

:07:59.:08:00.

violating possible laws, he was acting more out of personal concern

:08:01.:08:06.

for what was happening, to somebody like general Flynn, but when you are

:08:07.:08:09.

president of the United States, your first responsibility is to protect

:08:10.:08:15.

and enforce the constitution of the United States, and the laws of this

:08:16.:08:19.

country. And I think the president has not appreciated the level of

:08:20.:08:24.

responsibility associated with his oath. You were brought in in 1994,

:08:25.:08:32.

to be Bill Clinton, president Bill Clinton's chief of staff, Clinton

:08:33.:08:36.

presidency had got into trouble, needed a reboot, you were the man

:08:37.:08:41.

brought in to oversee the reboot, do you think it would be possible now

:08:42.:08:45.

to have somebody come into the White House and get this presidency back

:08:46.:08:49.

on track, away from the scandals and back to doing business. Not

:08:50.:08:57.

impossible but an awful lot depends upon whether or not the President of

:08:58.:09:00.

the United States is willing to change the way he behaves in that

:09:01.:09:08.

office, if he does appoint a new team of individuals that are

:09:09.:09:10.

experienced in politics, appreciate the laws, appreciate how you deal

:09:11.:09:17.

with Congress and with the different institutions of democracy and is

:09:18.:09:20.

willing to listen to that person, then it is not impossible. He does

:09:21.:09:25.

have a strong national security team, for example, I have a great

:09:26.:09:29.

deal of respect for the quality of his national security team, he seems

:09:30.:09:35.

to want to listen to them, which is good. Can he do the same thing when

:09:36.:09:38.

it comes to domestic issues and issues that relate to the laws of

:09:39.:09:44.

this country? That is the question. That will determine to a large

:09:45.:09:47.

extent whether he survives in office. We are still not any

:09:48.:09:54.

clearer, are we, if Mr Trump was recording the conversations with

:09:55.:09:59.

James Comey, with also do not know if those contemporaneous notes

:10:00.:10:01.

exist, which Jim Comey allegedly made after the meeting, and what

:10:02.:10:07.

about the involvement of Vladimir Putin, offering to release

:10:08.:10:12.

transcripts of the meeting with Donald Trump, said a lover of and

:10:13.:10:18.

the Russian ambassador in the White House. Any time Vladimir Putin

:10:19.:10:23.

decides that he's going to inject himself into issues in this country,

:10:24.:10:36.

that becomes cause for concern. -- Sergey Lavrov. I'm pleased that

:10:37.:10:41.

Congress rejected that offer, he is a foreign adversarial, his interest

:10:42.:10:47.

is not in the interest of protecting the United States of America, his

:10:48.:10:50.

interest is in destabilising them, the United States, and I'm sure that

:10:51.:10:55.

he's enjoying the fact that in this country we are going through a

:10:56.:10:59.

certain amount of turmoil largely because the Russians tried to

:11:00.:11:03.

directly interfere in the election process. This country is smart

:11:04.:11:08.

enough to understand that we are not in the mood of cooperating with

:11:09.:11:11.

somebody who is a foreign adversarial. It seems you do not

:11:12.:11:17.

trust the benevolence of bad in Putin(!) so far, but the Saudis and

:11:18.:11:22.

Israelis have said they will carry on sharing intelligence information

:11:23.:11:25.

with the United States is. -- seems you do not trust the benevolence of

:11:26.:11:30.

Vladimir Putin. How dangerous do you think, the meeting with Sergey

:11:31.:11:36.

Lavrov, the intelligence that was passed on, how dangerous has that

:11:37.:11:41.

been to America's relationships? As somebody who was formerly involved

:11:42.:11:49.

in the CIA -- formerly. And with intelligence people... Not just

:11:50.:11:51.

formerly involved, you ran the place! And I really respect those

:11:52.:11:59.

people who work in our intelligence agencies, who are willing to put

:12:00.:12:03.

their life on the line in order to be able to gather the kind of

:12:04.:12:07.

intelligence that was presented to the president. I think it is

:12:08.:12:14.

irresponsible of the president to reveal classified information,

:12:15.:12:18.

particularly to a foreign adversarial, particularly classified

:12:19.:12:22.

information that could jeopardise the very source of intelligence that

:12:23.:12:27.

was presented to the president. It is not responsible, it is very

:12:28.:12:32.

damaging, sending a terrible signal to all of those sources that are out

:12:33.:12:36.

there, putting lives on the line to gather that kind of intelligence.

:12:37.:12:40.

This is a matter that I believe all to be investigated and looked at,

:12:41.:12:45.

and I think the president as to understand his responsibility as

:12:46.:12:50.

President of the United States, to protect the very people that are

:12:51.:12:55.

providing that kind of intelligence. Leon Panetta, thank you very much

:12:56.:12:57.

for joining us. Thank you. So Democrats had been

:12:58.:13:02.

calling for a special Republicans, at least

:13:03.:13:04.

the ones on Capitol Hill So what powers will Mr Mueller

:13:05.:13:07.

have in this role? A special counsel is

:13:08.:13:13.

a person appointed by head of the justice department,

:13:14.:13:15.

when an investigation by the Department itself might pose

:13:16.:13:17.

a conflict of interest, or if it's believed it's

:13:18.:13:19.

in the "public interest" He has the power to initiate

:13:20.:13:21.

investigations, subpoena records Robert Mueller will also be able

:13:22.:13:29.

to widen his jurisdiction, although he'd have to ask

:13:30.:13:33.

the Attorney General But not everyone thinks this

:13:34.:13:35.

appointment is a good idea. Joining us from Washington

:13:36.:13:38.

is Ron Christie, a former Why not? It is important to

:13:39.:13:52.

recognise what is going on in the United States government, it was

:13:53.:13:56.

engaged in a counterintelligence operation to ascertain whether or

:13:57.:14:00.

not the Russians had on properly influence the election, the

:14:01.:14:05.

appointment of a special counsel takes it out of the realm of

:14:06.:14:08.

counterintelligence, when there is not a prosecutor involved. --

:14:09.:14:10.

unproperly. Now we have some blue with prosecuting powers. Question a

:14:11.:14:15.

lot of Republicans ask in Washington, what is the underlying

:14:16.:14:19.

crime, I don't understand and I have not, from looking at the statement

:14:20.:14:24.

from Robert Mueller, I cannot see what underlying crime he may be

:14:25.:14:28.

looking at which Donald Trump, the president, or his associates are

:14:29.:14:31.

allegedly having considered violated. One possible case with the

:14:32.:14:37.

attraction of justice, if it was proven that Donald Trump asked Jim

:14:38.:14:41.

Crow me to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. -- James Comey.

:14:42.:14:48.

In the statutory, obstruction of justice, not only are you in a

:14:49.:14:54.

position where you are impeding somebody carrying out their response

:14:55.:14:58.

abilities but it is also about whether they bribe that individual,

:14:59.:15:04.

specific intent, the resident would have had to specifically intended

:15:05.:15:07.

not only to impede James Comey and his investigation but also bribe

:15:08.:15:11.

them as well, ice on the evidence I have heard so far, the facts in the

:15:12.:15:16.

case do not seem to meet the case that the president of the United

:15:17.:15:19.

States could have done that. Let's be clear, you are a Republican, you

:15:20.:15:24.

have conversations with this White House but often you have been

:15:25.:15:28.

critical of Donald Trump, so when Donald Trump tweets out this

:15:29.:15:31.

morning, using his own language, that this is the greatest witchhunt

:15:32.:15:36.

in history... Is there something there, that he is the subject of an

:15:37.:15:41.

unfair amount of investigation, do you think, and pressure from

:15:42.:15:47.

Democrats? You know, it shouldn't matter, you are the President of the

:15:48.:15:50.

United States, chief law enforcement officer in the country, sadly, I

:15:51.:15:54.

think Donald Trump, in some measure, if not large measure, brought the

:15:55.:15:58.

special counsel appointment on himself. You cannot send out a tweet

:15:59.:16:03.

that says, I hope it wasn't being recorded when I spoke to James

:16:04.:16:07.

Comey, he had better watch out...! Cannot say those things and not have

:16:08.:16:10.

members of Congress on both sides of the aisle in a nonpartisan way

:16:11.:16:15.

saying, is the President of the United States recording people who

:16:16.:16:18.

come to the Oval Office? Where are the transcript? And also, what else

:16:19.:16:24.

could he have been doing? ! His behaviour on Twitter, seems to be

:16:25.:16:28.

bringing this on himself, and he does not seem to have learned a

:16:29.:16:31.

lesson and heeded the warning that that can have serious consequences

:16:32.:16:38.

which he is now facing. Thank you for coming in. Always a pleasure.

:16:39.:16:42.

There is a long game and a short game here, in the short term, looks

:16:43.:16:48.

like the appointment of this special counsel is something of a blessing,

:16:49.:16:52.

because it takes the heat off, because you can say, there is a

:16:53.:16:57.

special counsel investigating it, it is under control, we will let Robert

:16:58.:17:00.

Mueller get on with the job. In the long term, the risk is that the

:17:01.:17:03.

special counsel comes up with something that proves some kind of

:17:04.:17:07.

illegality, then there is a whole heap of problems for the White

:17:08.:17:10.

House. Interesting how Republicans are saying, having resisted the idea

:17:11.:17:14.

of some kind of special investigation, right now at least

:17:15.:17:17.

they feel it is taking off some of the political pressure. The point

:17:18.:17:21.

that interests me, this could take years, we have this enquiry, plus

:17:22.:17:25.

all the others, which will take priority? There is the risk, Donald

:17:26.:17:29.

Trump could be completely exonerated, what there is the risk,

:17:30.:17:34.

this drip of more damaging headlines and information, keeping it there in

:17:35.:17:40.

the public domain, and eroding anymore confidence in the

:17:41.:17:47.

presidency. Yes, this is not going anywhere. Absolutely right! !

:17:48.:17:52.

In Brazil there are calls for the president to resign

:17:53.:17:55.

following newspaper reports that he authorised bribes to silence

:17:56.:17:57.

a potential witness in what has become a huge corruption scandal.

:17:58.:18:00.

President Temer is denying the allegations that say

:18:01.:18:02.

he authorised payments to Eduardo Cunha,

:18:03.:18:07.

a politician who was jailed in March for corruption,

:18:08.:18:09.

money laundering and tax evasion.

:18:10.:18:19.

Still in Latin America, Venezuela says it's sending more

:18:20.:18:25.

to the region of Tachira in order to control looting and rioting.

:18:26.:18:29.

There have been violent anti-government protests

:18:30.:18:31.

and three people were killed in Tachira this week.

:18:32.:18:33.

President Nicolas Maduro has accused the opposition of inciting violence

:18:34.:18:35.

John McCain called for the expulsion of Turkey's US ambassador

:18:36.:18:39.

after violence erupted between protesters and Turkish

:18:40.:18:41.

security personnel during President Tayyip Erdogan's

:18:42.:18:43.

Senator McCain said, "We should throw their ambassador the hell out

:18:44.:18:50.

Meanwhile, Britain's governing Conservative Party, has

:18:51.:19:00.

published its manifesto, for next month's general election.

:19:01.:19:02.

pensioners' incomes, and adopts policies aimed at helping

:19:03.:19:05.

It includes, proposals to address the shortfall

:19:06.:19:08.

in the social care budget, as people live longer.

:19:09.:19:16.

Viewers in Britain can get up to date with all of those events in the

:19:17.:19:21.

election wrap, which follows 100 days plus. That is on the BBC news

:19:22.:19:28.

channel from half past seven, right across the United Kingdom.

:19:29.:19:33.

With all the investigations into his administration,

:19:34.:19:35.

President Trump may be relieved to be getting out of town tomorrow.

:19:36.:19:38.

He leaves for a mammoth nine-day, five-city foreign excursion,

:19:39.:19:40.

it's first foreign trip since becoming President.

:19:41.:19:42.

It's also the first chance for people abroad to see how

:19:43.:19:44.

how he delivers on his "America first" pledge.

:19:45.:19:46.

The trip starts in the Middle East with visits to Saudi Arabia

:19:47.:19:49.

and Israel before moving onto Nato in Belgium then Italy where he'll be

:19:50.:19:52.

Also travelling to Sicily, as well. Interesting, he has chosen Saudi

:19:53.:20:08.

Arabia first, symbolic decision to make the first overseas trip, the

:20:09.:20:13.

birthplace of Islam, you have been to a White House briefing, what are

:20:14.:20:17.

the ambitions of the trip? Yesterday I had to duck out early, to rush to

:20:18.:20:22.

the White House for a briefing of a senior White House official, they

:20:23.:20:25.

have an ambitious agenda for the trip, laying out a series of steps

:20:26.:20:33.

concrete proposals that include the formation of a Nato like. The arable

:20:34.:20:37.

world, they are going to ask TCC countries, Gulf countries, to sign a

:20:38.:20:43.

pledge making it illegal for anyone to make contributions to terrorist

:20:44.:20:47.

organisations or terrorist linked organisations. They think they can

:20:48.:20:54.

get -- they think if they can get all the Gulf countries on board,

:20:55.:20:57.

that would give cover to some of the Gulf countries accused of allowing

:20:58.:21:01.

funds to get to so-called Islamic State, that would give them cover to

:21:02.:21:06.

sign the pledge. They are setting up a centre in Riyadh, which will

:21:07.:21:12.

combat the cyber war, combating Islamic State, and giving a counter

to the growth and power of Iran in the region. I thought, from the

:21:17.:21:20.

briefing I have, that they sound very confident about the trip but a

:21:21.:21:24.

who thinks relationships are very important in foreign policy and when

:21:29.:21:31.

you push them for details and why would these countries do things they

:21:32.:21:35.

have never done before, it really comes down to the power of Donald

:21:36.:21:39.

Trump, to persuade countries to make concessions in a way that they have

:21:40.:21:43.

not. Interesting briefing, certainly an ambitious trip for the president.

:21:44.:21:47.

Giving a talk on Islamic extremism as well. We can go live to Riyadh,

Lyse Doucet is the BBC's Chief International Correspondent and she

said, if president Obama was about change, sympathising with the Arab

included, President Trump is the man who called on all his friends and

:23:26.:23:29.

allies to pay their own way, as you heard from Cathy, coming here with a

:23:30.:23:34.

big agenda, and what we heard from the Saudi Foreign Minister, it is an

:23:35.:23:40.

agenda that Saudi Arabia endorses 100%. Went through the list,

:23:41.:23:48.

fighting against extremists, fighting extremist groups including

:23:49.:23:51.

so-called Islamic State, so do we, he wants to push back against Iran,

:23:52.:23:56.

to stop its behaviour across this region, so do we, he said. He wants

:23:57.:24:02.

to strengthen the military cooperation, don't forget that Saudi

:24:03.:24:04.

Arabia as well as other countries were behind the formation of the new

:24:05.:24:10.

Arabic Islamic alliance, headed by a former Pakistani army chief.

:24:11.:24:14.

Afterwards, I spoke to the Saudi Foreign Minister and I said, if

:24:15.:24:18.

President Trump ask you to play your part, will you contribute troops, he

:24:19.:24:25.

said, yes. It was very complimentary about the strike on Syria by Donald

we spoke with said President Trump is a man you can do business with,

:25:00.:25:03.

military business, economic business, political business, they

:25:04.:25:08.

think he is a man... This is what they think, superpower. Beyond,

:25:09.:25:12.

other countries around the world will be worried about President

:25:13.:25:15.

Trump, don't forget, the next stop is Israel, they are scrambling to

:25:16.:25:19.

discover what could be the cost of what appears to be or is alleged to

be mishandling of intelligence information. In Saudi Arabia, thank

you very much, it will be fascinating talking to you during
