:01:38. > :01:40.Theresa May - Britain's Prime Minister, at least for the moment -
:01:41. > :01:43.has been meeting Conservative Party leaders and she had a lot
:01:44. > :01:47.May apologised repeatedly for last week's election result.
:01:48. > :01:50.According to one MP who was in the meeting, "She said,
:01:51. > :01:52.I'm the person who got us into this mess.
:01:53. > :02:00.I will serve she told them as long as you want me."
:02:01. > :02:08.We can speak to Rob Watson in Westminster. I will serve you as
:02:09. > :02:14.long as you want me? That doesn't suggest she will be around for long.
:02:15. > :02:20.Probably not long enough to fight idolater election. For those who do
:02:21. > :02:25.not know that Conservative Party well, it is ruthless. If you win
:02:26. > :02:29.elections, you can do what you like but if you lose them you were a
:02:30. > :02:34.goner. The reason that is different this time is because the party is
:02:35. > :02:40.not in a mood to fight another election which it might lose. As a
:02:41. > :02:44.colleague put it, the Conservatives have decided they would rather have
:02:45. > :02:50.a bad Prime Minister than no Prime Minister, and you have to remember,
:02:51. > :02:55.many Conservative MPs, the most important thing, more precious than
:02:56. > :03:00.gold, is getting Brexit done so they will not want anything like a new
:03:01. > :03:07.leadership contest to threaten that. That seems to be the big issue, what
:03:08. > :03:12.impact does the election have in practical terms on those perks of
:03:13. > :03:21.negotiations and on Britain's future relationship with Europe? The answer
:03:22. > :03:27.to that one is easy, who knows? I was hoping you did! It's been widely
:03:28. > :03:32.discussed in Westminster and the answer is who knows. The answer from
:03:33. > :03:38.the government is to say we will carry on as before, that was the
:03:39. > :03:43.line from David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, and that is the view of
:03:44. > :03:48.lots of hardline Eurosceptics but one of the things that was the
:03:49. > :03:53.result of the general election, Theresa May had held it to try to
:03:54. > :03:58.put the divisions of the EU referendum behind anyone and get the
:03:59. > :04:04.country united, the opposite has happened, it has reopened the debate
:04:05. > :04:08.about what Brexit should mean, not just within the Conservative Party,
:04:09. > :04:12.were a lot of people who are pro-European are saying they need to
:04:13. > :04:17.rethink this, but outside the Conservative Party and outside
:04:18. > :04:22.politics. You talked about businesses saying we all need a
:04:23. > :04:27.rethink on this so the short answer is who knows, that is the longer one
:04:28. > :04:29.and it shows you there is a vast amounts of uncertainty. Rob, thank
:04:30. > :04:30.you. Well, let's speak to someone
:04:31. > :04:32.who was in the room. Nadhim Zahawi is a Conservative MP
:04:33. > :04:45.and supported Brexit. She apologised, it sounds like the
:04:46. > :04:49.people in the room with accepted that apology, she a standing
:04:50. > :04:53.ovation, they were happy with accepting full responsibility but
:04:54. > :05:00.she has got her party into a mess, hasn't she? Remember she won the
:05:01. > :05:08.election with the greatest number of seats in parliament, 318, and with
:05:09. > :05:16.the DUP can form a working majority and has moved swiftly to focus on
:05:17. > :05:21.the job in hand of reshuffling her Cabinet and having a strong cabinet
:05:22. > :05:26.in place, promoting Michael Gove, making sure Damian Green is her
:05:27. > :05:30.second-in-command, her chief of staff, it Alan Barwell, has a wealth
:05:31. > :05:38.of respect in the parliamentary party. The 1922 committee meetings
:05:39. > :05:45.are confidential... You are not going to try and say this is a good
:05:46. > :05:47.result for the Conservative Party? I wouldn't insult your intelligence by
:05:48. > :05:51.saying that although the Prime saying that although the Prime
:05:52. > :05:58.Minister quite rightly said that we polled almost 42%, a staggering
:05:59. > :06:01.achievement but it didn't have the desired outcome because under any
:06:02. > :06:09.other circumstances that would have been a large majority but Labour did
:06:10. > :06:13.better as well. Although it was a confidential meeting, she had three
:06:14. > :06:18.standing ovations. She judged the room rightly, she had thought long
:06:19. > :06:24.and hard about how she will move forward, she spoke about the way
:06:25. > :06:27.Number 10 is changing, how it will interact with the parliamentary
:06:28. > :06:31.party, how it will work with colleagues across the different
:06:32. > :06:38.views on Brexit within our own party and literally each and every person
:06:39. > :06:42.who stood up to ask a question from either side, those who campaign for
:06:43. > :06:47.Remain for those who wanted Brown said, gave the Prime Minister that
:06:48. > :06:56.complete call some support for her position. She also said there will
:06:57. > :06:58.be more consultation on Brexit. The Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily
:06:59. > :07:04.Thornberry said they will hold the government's feed to the fire and
:07:05. > :07:07.where they don't agree they will put forward amendments and I assume
:07:08. > :07:13.Remainer is in the Conservative Party will vote for some of those
:07:14. > :07:19.amendments. I suspect you will see the Labour Party being held to
:07:20. > :07:23.account. In the election campaign, if you look at their manifesto it
:07:24. > :07:29.was close to our position saying they wanted access to the single
:07:30. > :07:33.market, so out of the single market, out of the Customs Union and
:07:34. > :07:37.controlling our borders but Keir Starmer and Jeremy Corbyn will have
:07:38. > :07:45.to make up their mind what they will do. I would highly advise them, not
:07:46. > :07:50.that they want my advice, to put the national interest ahead and deliver
:07:51. > :07:56.a good Brexit, which Theresa May is now determined to do, she said she
:07:57. > :08:01.called the election and took full responsibility and now has to
:08:02. > :08:06.deliver a good Brexit. Can I underline a point you made there
:08:07. > :08:11.because I think it's being lost and politicians and the media are to
:08:12. > :08:17.blame, can we be clear that both parties will have to leave the
:08:18. > :08:22.single market? It does seem, as you said, if Labour are suggesting we
:08:23. > :08:28.can stay in it somehow, we are talking about access to the single
:08:29. > :08:33.market, not staying in it. That's right and it's worth many of your
:08:34. > :08:37.colleagues asking that question of the Labour Party because if that the
:08:38. > :08:42.position they have taken in the manifesto, it is close to our
:08:43. > :08:49.position and so over 80% of people who voted last Thursday voted for a
:08:50. > :08:52.good Brexit, to come out of the EU, accessed the single market and
:08:53. > :08:58.control our borders, so I hope many of your colleagues in the broadcast
:08:59. > :09:02.and print media will begin now asking Labour if they are serious
:09:03. > :09:09.about that and will deliver their manifesto pledge. Thank you for
:09:10. > :09:12.joining us. Christian, this is interesting, what the practical
:09:13. > :09:19.implications will be. Rob Watson said he doesn't know if this will
:09:20. > :09:24.lead to Brexit because the Prime Minister is under pressure form some
:09:25. > :09:31.in their own party to deliver us after Brexit. He was sending good
:09:32. > :09:36.about the future of the party but I cannot believe he is happy about the
:09:37. > :09:40.business surveyed saying 20% of Islamist leaders are losing
:09:41. > :09:44.confidence in the British economy and the euro is down to a seven
:09:45. > :09:51.month low. It looks chaotic, and bear in mind
:09:52. > :09:54.that the European Commission president was encouraging Theresa
:09:55. > :10:01.May to hold this election because they wanted clarity, he said you
:10:02. > :10:05.cannot come to the table with a majority of 17, you need a mandate,
:10:06. > :10:11.so what reaction they will give to her when she goes over next week,
:10:12. > :10:15.the Europeans want certainty, they don't want to get to a sticking
:10:16. > :10:19.point and then she will go back and see if she can get it passed
:10:20. > :10:24.Parliament. The Europeans want to crack on with it.
:10:25. > :10:30.One European who doesn't seem to be having problems this morning is
:10:31. > :10:35.president Micron. He is waking up a happy man.
:10:36. > :10:41.Emmanuel Macron shows you can be populist in the centre because the
:10:42. > :10:46.parliamentary elections are a landslide, he will have the majority
:10:47. > :10:52.of MPs anti-war want to crack on with Brexit to because he wants to
:10:53. > :10:57.re-energise the Franco German partnership. It was always the Brits
:10:58. > :11:03.who were standing in the wake of this so having them out of the way
:11:04. > :11:08.clears that up and it Brexit isn't a success, it is Marine Le Pen who
:11:09. > :11:11.would pay the price for that because she has put Brexit up in shining
:11:12. > :11:17.lights and said that is what we want.
:11:18. > :11:22.And he has taken people from left and right into his government. If he
:11:23. > :11:28.manages to reform the French economy with this model, I bet it will sense
:11:29. > :11:30.Chivers down the spine of traditional figures like the
:11:31. > :11:36.Conservatives and Labour Party in Britain. There are the results.
:11:37. > :11:43.There is strategic voting in the second round so it might change,
:11:44. > :11:47.that is the first round. He has brought new blood into politics but
:11:48. > :11:52.a lot of them are upwardly mobile middle-class elite, not the people
:11:53. > :11:59.you see at the bottom, the hard right and hard left, they don't
:12:00. > :12:05.represent them, the National front and France Unbowed but if he doesn't
:12:06. > :12:07.carry the country with it, they will come back onto the streets.
:12:08. > :12:10.Just a short time ago, another federal court has ruled
:12:11. > :12:12.against President Trump's revised executive order, which
:12:13. > :12:14.limits travel from six predominately Muslim countries.
:12:15. > :12:17.The ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling came after a similar decision
:12:18. > :12:22.in the fourth circuit of Virginia which is currently being appealed
:12:23. > :12:26.This all comes as the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions gets
:12:27. > :12:28.ready to appear before congress tomorrow to offer testimony
:12:29. > :12:32.about the firing of James Comey and Mr Sessions' interactions
:12:33. > :12:36.with Russian officials during the election campaign.
:12:37. > :12:39.Well, the White House Secretary Sean Spicer has been speaking
:12:40. > :12:56.I think the president has been clear, last week in the rose garden,
:12:57. > :13:02.that he believes the sooner we can get this address and dealt with that
:13:03. > :13:06.there has been no collusion, he wants this to get investigated as
:13:07. > :13:08.soon as possible so he can continue the business of the American people.
:13:09. > :13:11.And I'm happy to say that Ron Christie, our political analyst,
:13:12. > :13:13.is safely back here on set with me after visiting Christian
:13:14. > :13:22.Ron, there Sean Spicer saying they want to get to the bottom of the
:13:23. > :13:30.investigation so it will all blow over. This cloud continues to hang
:13:31. > :13:34.over the White House. The White House is looking at the Attorney
:13:35. > :13:38.General having a chance to speak to say let's put away misconceptions
:13:39. > :13:43.about Russian collusion and speak in a unified manner, the only way they
:13:44. > :13:51.can get out of this is if they are forthright with the people. To what
:13:52. > :13:55.extent are removing away from the issue of collusion, with several
:13:56. > :13:59.Republicans and some Democrats say will be hard to prove against the
:14:00. > :14:04.president, into the Morton are key areas of not just obstruction of
:14:05. > :14:09.justice but of the president perjuring himself? This is why I
:14:10. > :14:14.don't understand why the president said he welcomed the chance to
:14:15. > :14:20.testify. You will get yourself in a perjury trap if you go before the
:14:21. > :14:24.special counsel and do not remember everything you said, they can replay
:14:25. > :14:28.that and ask for you telling the truth now or then, so we are moving
:14:29. > :14:35.away from collusion but the perjury trap is a real trap for this
:14:36. > :14:40.president if he says he will do it. Bill Clinton got himself into a
:14:41. > :14:47.perjury trap against Monica Lewinsky, it is often the cover up.
:14:48. > :14:52.And it was a point that Lindsey Graham was saying, the president is
:14:53. > :14:57.talking too much. You may be the first president in history to go
:14:58. > :15:02.down because you can't stop talking about an investigation which if you
:15:03. > :15:10.were quiet would clear you. And that is the point, he needs to stop
:15:11. > :15:15.tweeting about it. He does. As a lawyer you know the more you talk
:15:16. > :15:18.the more you put yourself in legal peril and this president, it has
:15:19. > :15:24.worked well for him as a businessman to believe people that now you are
:15:25. > :15:30.getting into the world of political and legal jeopardy and it amazes me
:15:31. > :15:33.that neither his chief of staff or his Attorney General and say, Mr
:15:34. > :15:39.President, you are digging yourself a whole and it will be hard for you
:15:40. > :15:45.to get out unless you stop tweeting. So tomorrow we have another grab
:15:46. > :15:50.your popcorn day in Congress, Jeff Sessions will testify, he will be
:15:51. > :15:56.asked questions about evidence that James Komi gave last week and this
:15:57. > :16:01.idea that James Comey came to Sessions and said don't believe me
:16:02. > :16:07.on my own with the president again. I find that staggering. From having
:16:08. > :16:12.being a staffer, you need to protect the principle, have someone in the
:16:13. > :16:15.room with the president and the Attorney General or the FBI
:16:16. > :16:20.director, so if there is one person who may have put himself in a bad
:16:21. > :16:25.spot, it is James Komi recognising that he should not be in that
:16:26. > :16:31.position, you need to have someone there to chronicle the conversation
:16:32. > :16:35.between those two gentlemen. Ron Christie, you could be advising the
:16:36. > :16:46.president. He needs a lawyer to tell him to stop talking. I'm staying
:16:47. > :16:51.right here! For more on how this is changing established orders, heroes
:16:52. > :16:57.Nick Bryant. You have written a great piece on the BBC website, we
:16:58. > :17:03.have a bit of it we can joke about the US UK relationship and how all
:17:04. > :17:12.the chaos here is affecting that. You write a piece which we can show
:17:13. > :17:18.our viewers... What do you mean? There has always been a shared
:17:19. > :17:21.conceit at the heart of the special relationship and it is that global
:17:22. > :17:26.leadership is best expressed in English. It is American
:17:27. > :17:32.exceptionalism meets English exceptionalism, and now that doesn't
:17:33. > :17:37.look so good because you have instability and chaos, something
:17:38. > :17:44.near chaos in Washington, on both sides of the Atlantic and it seems a
:17:45. > :17:50.vacuum has created, remember going back 70 years, so much of the
:17:51. > :17:55.post-war architecture was Anglo American in origin, so much of it
:17:56. > :18:01.stemmed from an Atlantic Charter signed by FDR and Churchill in 1941,
:18:02. > :18:07.IMF, the World Bank, Nato, but now it seems that Anglo-American
:18:08. > :18:13.leadership is under threat and a void is being created which others
:18:14. > :18:17.are filling. How much does the UK election and the issue of Brexit and
:18:18. > :18:23.no negotiations meant to start next week late into Britain's position
:18:24. > :18:28.cutting itself from Europe at a time when getting, for Theresa May, close
:18:29. > :18:32.negative consequences? Getting close negative consequences? Getting close
:18:33. > :18:37.to Donald Trump speaks of the to Donald Trump speaks of the
:18:38. > :18:43.diplomacy of desperation that Britain is practising. It cannot
:18:44. > :18:47.rely on support from its former 27 EU partners, so it has to look more
:18:48. > :18:52.closely across the Atlantic and to get a strong relationship with
:18:53. > :18:58.Donald Trump but that is very unpopular in Britain, used so that
:18:59. > :19:02.after the London attacks when he launched up Twitter parade against
:19:03. > :19:06.Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and it undercuts British leadership
:19:07. > :19:13.because they are increasingly cast adrift. One of the great uses for
:19:14. > :19:20.America or Britain over the past 40 years has been as this close ally at
:19:21. > :19:25.the heart of Europe and that will not be the case anymore so while
:19:26. > :19:28.many might say this looks like a short-term problem, a temporary
:19:29. > :19:32.difficulty Ford governments in Britain and America, actually it
:19:33. > :19:40.looks like outlasting the Trump Administration. Nick, thank you.
:19:41. > :19:46.Fascinating piece, go and have a look for it on the BBC website.
:19:47. > :19:52.Thanks, Christian. I'm still here! I'm sticking around.
:19:53. > :19:56.From this side we are constantly looking at you in Washington, how is
:19:57. > :20:03.America looking at what's happening in the UK? I cannot tell me the
:20:04. > :20:09.number of people who have said to me, what are they doing in Britain?
:20:10. > :20:13.We thought we had the monopoly on political chaos and now Britain want
:20:14. > :20:19.to get in on the act. That's pretty much how it looks now. Ron just now
:20:20. > :20:24.said he cannot believe Britons have done this to themselves.
:20:25. > :20:32.Did they think that Brexit would sail through? Is that the way they
:20:33. > :20:36.portrayed it in Washington? They had watched all this in
:20:37. > :20:40.Parliament, they knew it would go through but they cannot understand
:20:41. > :20:45.why the Prime Minister would put herself in a position, at a time
:20:46. > :20:50.when electorates are unpredictable, why did she have at vote that she
:20:51. > :20:55.didn't need to call and that has confused people and it is what makes
:20:56. > :20:59.people here nervous about the stability of a relationship that is
:21:00. > :21:02.as Nick was saying essential to the US. Talking about the essential
:21:03. > :21:04.relationships... It's easy to forget amid all
:21:05. > :21:06.the Russia investigations and Trump's tweets that at the heart
:21:07. > :21:09.of this story is the attempt by Moscow to meddle
:21:10. > :21:10.in Western democracy. It's a growing facet of
:21:11. > :21:13.Vladimir Putin's autocratic rule - a point not lost today on thousands
:21:14. > :21:17.of demonstrators in Russia. Anti-Putin activists took
:21:18. > :21:19.to the streets of Moscow and several Scores of people were detained
:21:20. > :21:23.and the Russian opposition leader, He was placed under house arrest as
:21:24. > :21:33.he came out of his apartment block. Our Moscow correspondent
:21:34. > :21:36.Steve Rosenberg has the latest. One mile from the Kremlin,
:21:37. > :21:39.a public holiday turned Russia Day is supposed to be
:21:40. > :21:46.a national celebration. But riot police were sent in to
:21:47. > :21:50.clear anti-government protesters Thousands had come
:21:51. > :21:57.to accuse the Russian "Putin is a thief", they shouted,
:21:58. > :22:03.and "one, two, three, Putin, Families accidentally caught up
:22:04. > :22:11.in the violence fled. Police detained
:22:12. > :22:15.hundreds of protesters. The police have been telling

:22:20. > :22:22.that they don't have permission. But the protesters have been saying

:25:58. > :26:15.Days +, from BBC News. It's been a bright and breezy affair
:26:16. > :26:20.for many of us today. We had quite a lot of cloud and the strongest winds
:26:21. > :26:23.to the Central Belt that as the afternoon progressed, the cloud
:26:24. > :26:28.broke up, we saw some sunshine and a pleasant end to the day. The
:26:29. > :26:33.Northwest kept the cloud and it was rather gloomy with showers and that
:26:34. > :26:36.will continue through the day, showers into Northern Ireland and
:26:37. > :26:41.North West Scotland along with north-west England and Wales,
:26:42. > :26:47.further south clear skies and temperatures in rural spots bawling
:26:48. > :26:51.to single figures, but the rain in the north-west will be heavy first
:26:52. > :26:56.thing through much of Scotland, a bright start into eastern Scotland
:26:57. > :26:59.and showery through Northern Ireland and much of Northern England and
:27:00. > :27:05.North Wales but there will be some cloud. Further south we will see the
:27:06. > :27:09.mist and fog lifting, temperature climbing and some decent spells of
:27:10. > :27:14.sunshine and with light winds it will feel pleasant through the day,
:27:15. > :27:19.as we go into the afternoon the persistent rain in the far North
:27:20. > :27:24.West of Scotland becomes lighter and showery, allowing for some brighter
:27:25. > :27:30.skies into north-west Scotland. We will see a little fair cloud further
:27:31. > :27:37.south but warm, 17 or 19 degrees further north. On Wednesday an area
:27:38. > :27:44.of low pressure threatens but this high pressure will hang on in and we
:27:45. > :27:47.will drag in warm water humid air from the near continent, so
:27:48. > :27:52.Wednesday could be quite hot, especially in the south-east. There
:27:53. > :27:56.will be decent spells of sunshine across England and West, clouding
:27:57. > :28:02.over Western showers in the North West but temperatures will respond,
:28:03. > :28:07.they beat 26 in the south-east and still quite warm in the far north.
:28:08. > :28:12.We could see some thundery downpours, some of them have a in
:28:13. > :28:17.the south-east corner, at the same time a weather front pushing through
:28:18. > :28:21.and as it does the wings swing around to the westerly and introduce
:28:22. > :28:26.fresh air, so from Thursday into Friday we have a scattering of
:28:27. > :28:30.showers but a fresher feel for many, still pleasantly warm with some
:28:31. > :30:08.decent spells of sunshine in the south-east.
:30:09. > :30:11.Welcome back to 100 Days Plus - I'm Katty Kay in Washington,

:30:31. > :30:31.in the Pulse nightclub, Orlando.
:30:32. > :30:34.We will hear from the choir that is helping the community
:30:35. > :30:50.With so much going on in the White House, there's not been
:30:51. > :30:52.much focus on possible conflicts of interest with Mr Trump
:30:53. > :30:57.The attorney generals of Maryland and Washington DC are suing
:30:58. > :31:00.the President for foreign payments to his hotels and clubs.
:31:01. > :31:03.The lawsuit - from two Democrats - claims the payments violate the US
:31:04. > :31:06.constitution's anti-corruption clause.
:31:07. > :31:09.Mr Trump handed the running of his business to his sons
:31:10. > :31:11.after the election but there is a question of how much
:31:12. > :31:13.involvement he still has and whether there is
:31:14. > :31:20.Never in the history of this country have we had
:31:21. > :31:24.a president with these kinds of extensive business entanglements.
:31:25. > :31:26.Or a president who refused to adequately distance himself
:31:27. > :31:33.President Trump's businesses and his dealings violate
:31:34. > :31:37.the Constitution's anti-corruption provisions - known as
:31:38. > :31:44.Well for more, let's speak to our business correspondent
:31:45. > :31:55.We are told by Eric Trump himself that Donald Trump gets regular
:31:56. > :31:59.updates on the financial performance of his companies. The Attorney
:32:00. > :32:02.General they're saying he has broken many promises to keep separate his
:32:03. > :32:08.public duties and his private business interests? All along, many
:32:09. > :32:12.experts have been saying, the best way for the president to really
:32:13. > :32:17.separate himself from his businesses is to establish a blind trust, that
:32:18. > :32:20.means it's all put into a blind trust, and he has no involvement in
:32:21. > :32:24.the business whatsoever. But they have not done that. That's why you
:32:25. > :32:28.are seeing these kinds of lawsuits being filed by the attorneys
:32:29. > :32:32.generals, of the District of Columbia and merriment, saying
:32:33. > :32:37.because he is still entangled with his businesses, that means he is
:32:38. > :32:39.still automatically in violation of the US Constitution and Wally meant
:32:40. > :32:46.clause. Which really is an 18th-century term for bribes. --
:32:47. > :32:51.emolument clause. These are two Democrats who have filed the suit.
:32:52. > :32:55.Critics of the Democratic party and supporters of Mr Trump would argue
:32:56. > :32:58.this is another political axe to grind, that Democrats have against
:32:59. > :33:02.this president and it will stop at nothing to do everything to make his
:33:03. > :33:10.presidency a failure? That's exactly what the White House has said. It
:33:11. > :33:14.has said that one, the president is absolutely not in violation of the
:33:15. > :33:16.US Constitution, and that these lawsuits are politically motivated.
:33:17. > :33:20.But this is just one of the lawsuits. There is another similar
:33:21. > :33:26.kind of lawsuit that was filed actually here in New York by a
:33:27. > :33:30.ethics watchdog organisation that is based in Washington, DC. They along
:33:31. > :33:35.with the restaurants that are impacted by some of the competition
:33:36. > :33:40.they are seeing from Mr Trump's restaurants, they have made a
:33:41. > :33:43.similar case in a lawsuit and the Department of Justice who is
:33:44. > :33:47.representing Mr Trump has actually filed to say this case should be
:33:48. > :33:53.absolutely dismissed for the same reasons, that the president does not
:33:54. > :33:57.-- is not in violation of any bribes whatsoever. If this does go all the
:33:58. > :34:00.way to court, presumably the Supreme Court, he will have to produce his
:34:01. > :34:03.financial records and his tax returns to defend himself, and that
:34:04. > :34:11.could be key for the Russia investigation? That's exactly right,
:34:12. > :34:14.and you could expect there will be some dog-eared saying that they do
:34:15. > :34:18.not want that to happen. Mr Trump has a lot of interest in trying to
:34:19. > :34:20.keep that under wraps, to keep that Private, and you will expect the
:34:21. > :34:23.lawyers will try to make that happen. Thank you.
:34:24. > :34:26.Trump criticised Obama for playing a lot of golf during his presidency
:34:27. > :34:28.and claimed he wouldn't have to time to golf
:34:29. > :34:36.Well according to NBC that's not quite accurate...
:34:37. > :34:38.They've calculated how many days the President has spent
:34:39. > :34:44.at his businesses and golf courses during his term so far.
:34:45. > :34:50.He's spent 42 days at his properties - over half of these
:34:51. > :35:04.And he has spent 29 days at his golf properties.
:35:05. > :35:11.I think that means our programme has been running for about 140 something
:35:12. > :35:17.days, how many times have you played golf in that time? Not once. They
:35:18. > :35:20.keep me busy on this programme! What I have seen on Twitter is that he
:35:21. > :35:25.constantly gate-crashes these weddings. When he goes to the golf
:35:26. > :35:32.club, he just photo bombs the bride. She looks very happy.
:35:33. > :35:39.This is Kristin and her husband Tucker. They got a surprise visit
:35:40. > :35:42.this weekend at his golf resort in Bedminster. The wedding was going on
:35:43. > :35:46.so he decided to drop by and signed lots of make America great again
:35:47. > :35:50.hats. They pay a lot for that, because the
:35:51. > :35:52.fees at these golf clubs have doubled since he became president.
:35:53. > :36:01.Anyway, if he is playing a lot of golf, do you know what his handicap
:36:02. > :36:05.is? No. I have been doing some digging around, and not on the US
:36:06. > :36:10.Gulf website, Captain Donald J Trump and there it is at winged foot golf
:36:11. > :36:15.club. His handicap is 2.8, which borrowed a 70-year-old guy is quite
:36:16. > :36:20.a handicap. Can you see at the top, the 2016, that's the last time he
:36:21. > :36:24.returned a school. He is obviously keeping under wraps how many times
:36:25. > :36:31.he is playing rounds of golf to keep handicap like that. That's my
:36:32. > :36:34.investigation. Not quite sure what you're investigating that, Kristian.
:36:35. > :36:41.What's your handicap? Two children and a wife! It's going up. I don't
:36:42. > :36:45.get a chance to play any more. I didn't ask you for excuses! If
:36:46. > :36:46.you're keeping single figures, you need to play a lot, that's all I've
:36:47. > :36:47.got to say. People in the US territory
:36:48. > :36:50.of Puerto Rico have voted in favour of becoming America's 51st
:36:51. > :36:53.state, but on a turnout The result is non-binding,
:36:54. > :36:56.and any change in status would require approval from the US
:36:57. > :36:58.Congress in Washington. The move is supported
:36:59. > :37:00.by the territory's governor who hopes it might help solve
:37:01. > :37:05.the island's economic crisis. Another arrest has been made
:37:06. > :37:07.by police investigating the London Bridge attack nearly two
:37:08. > :37:13.weeks ago. The Duchess of Cambridge has
:37:14. > :37:16.been meeting victims of the attack - who are recovering at King's College

:38:14. > :38:16.we sing songs of love Josh lost his friend Shane
:38:17. > :38:30.in the attack at Pulse. As he was dealing with his own loss,

:38:34. > :38:43.out to be the biggest event that the chorus had ever sung at,
:38:44. > :38:49.at that time. At that moment, that was was when -
:38:50. > :38:58.for me - I started to heal. Joel Strack, one of the founding
:38:59. > :39:01.members of the chorus, In my head, I was thinking
:39:02. > :39:07.I would give up my own life to bring I'm 57 years old, I've lived a rich,
:39:08. > :39:14.vibrant life, I've done things in this world that these kids
:39:15. > :39:17.are never It was after that concert
:39:18. > :39:24.that the group took on an unlikely role - as a rapid response
:39:25. > :39:28.team, sent to gatherings I think the chorus recognised
:39:29. > :39:41.we had an important role Both representing the gay
:39:42. > :39:44.community as well as using our music to heal,
:39:45. > :39:46.and bring hope. The timing kind of has us reeling,
:39:47. > :39:54.because it was right around the one-year anniversary of gay
:39:55. > :39:59.marriage being realised nationwide. It was a slap in the face,
:40:00. > :40:05.and it was a huge wake-up call Shea Callinan left her home

:40:20. > :40:29.the chorus when I did, and I'm really glad that when Pulse
:40:30. > :40:32.happened, I had this group of people They are my brothers
:40:33. > :40:39.and sisters in song. They fill my heart with love,
:40:40. > :40:43.so that I can go out and fill 50 years ago today the Supreme Court
:40:44. > :41:09.agreed Richard and Mildred Loving Remember that the Kintbury clearly
:41:10. > :41:12.when that happened. So started to come out about how the attacker had
:41:13. > :41:16.questions about his own sexuality. They had been issues about affairs,
:41:17. > :41:28.the fact he had gone to the nightclub for -- before, issues with
:41:29. > :41:31.his wife. There were questions about the motivation for that awful attack

:42:13. > :42:18.Mildred. They got pregnant, they decided to get married in Virginia.
:42:19. > :42:22.They got that sentence because what they did was illegal so they came to
:42:23. > :42:25.live here in Washington, DC where interracial marriage was not illegal
:42:26. > :42:28.and they could avoid that prison sentence, but then they could not
:42:29. > :42:33.visit their families. You know what she did, Mildred? She wrote to the
:42:34. > :42:37.Attorney General, one Bobby Kennedy. She wrote to him and said, we need
:42:38. > :42:41.to have this overturned, we want the conviction overturned, we want to
