:00:09. > :00:10.Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus.
:00:11. > :00:13.It took two and a half weeks and finally the Conservative Party
:00:14. > :00:15.has a deal to support their minority government.
:00:16. > :00:17.Theresa May has the backing from Northern Ireland's DUP,
:00:18. > :00:22.The Prime Minister promised Northern Ireland a billion pounds
:00:23. > :00:30.It's been a busy day for Mrs May - in the House of Commons she laid out
:00:31. > :00:34.the government's post-Brexit offer to EU citizens living in the UK.
:00:35. > :00:40.No EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave
:00:41. > :00:45.at the point the UK leaves the EU - we want you to stay.
:00:46. > :00:48.Also, President Trump says the Supreme Court has just given him
:00:49. > :00:53.The justices will let part of his immigration order go forward
:00:54. > :00:59.and will hear the whole case in October.
:01:00. > :01:04.You're both over 50. That will cost you.
:01:05. > :01:06.The battle over healthcare - more Republican senators say
:01:07. > :01:09.they don't like the party's new health care bill and even
:01:10. > :01:15.And India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes to Washington
:01:16. > :01:26.for his first meeting with Donald Trump.
:01:27. > :01:28.Welcome to the programme, I am Christian Fraser
:01:29. > :01:30.in London Katty Kay is in Washington.
:01:31. > :01:33.Finally, the British Prime Minister has a working majority
:01:34. > :01:35.to keep her in office but only thanks to a expensive deal
:01:36. > :01:40.with the largest party in Northern Ireland.
:01:41. > :01:42.The agreement signed today with the DUP ensures that ten
:01:43. > :01:45.Unionist MPs will side with the Government on confidence
:01:46. > :01:51.The deal guarantees Northern Ireland an extra
:01:52. > :01:55.$1.2 billion, or ?1 billion of funding over the next two years.
:01:56. > :01:59.And the DUP could even come back to ask for more after 2019.
:02:00. > :02:03.So Mrs May has some explaining to do to her critics -
:02:04. > :02:05.how come money is hard to find for schools and hospitals,
:02:06. > :02:09.but not when it comes to keeping the Conservatives in power?
:02:10. > :02:11.Well today, the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party
:02:12. > :02:19.said that the deal was of benefit to the whole of the UK.
:02:20. > :02:23.Throughout these discussions our commitment has been to acting
:02:24. > :02:26.in the national interest in accordance with our shared
:02:27. > :02:35.objective for strengthening and enhancing our precious union.
:02:36. > :02:38.In concluding this wide-ranging agreement, we have done so in terms
:02:39. > :02:42.of enhancing the security of our nation, building prosperity
:02:43. > :02:44.for all and supporting an exit from the EU that benefits all parts
:02:45. > :02:50.The DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson signed the official
:02:51. > :02:58.paperwork for the deal today and he joins me now.
:02:59. > :03:06.Hello, thank you for being with us. It has been described in all sorts
:03:07. > :03:10.of ways in the House of Commons, a grubby deal, and there will be many
:03:11. > :03:17.people in the country who say, why is the Government using taxpayers'
:03:18. > :03:22.money to stay in office? Well, good evening from Westminster. There's a
:03:23. > :03:26.clear reason for this, Northern Ireland sustained 30 years of a
:03:27. > :03:30.terrorist conflict in which our infrastructure was seriously damaged
:03:31. > :03:34.and money that should have been invested in infrastructure was spent
:03:35. > :03:39.on security during that period. Which meant we fell away behind the
:03:40. > :03:43.United Kingdom, the rest of the UK, in terms of bringing our
:03:44. > :03:49.infrastructure up-to-date. So this money is to help address that
:03:50. > :03:53.deficit. To improve our hospitals and schools, and to address the
:03:54. > :03:57.deficit in public services. So I think there is a case to be made for
:03:58. > :04:00.Northern Ireland. We have made the case. We have made it to the
:04:01. > :04:05.Government and we have won this extra money for Northern Ireland. So
:04:06. > :04:10.while there will be some critic, I listen to the Labour Party
:04:11. > :04:14.criticising extra money for schools and hospitals and roads and housing
:04:15. > :04:19.and creating more jobs in Northern Ireland, but why would that be a bad
:04:20. > :04:23.deal for part of the United Kingdom? Clear something up for us, there is
:04:24. > :04:27.some confusion in Northern Ireland today, is this money dependent on
:04:28. > :04:31.the power-sharing Executive being reformed? Obviously our preference
:04:32. > :04:35.is that the Northern Ireland Executive gets up and running. We
:04:36. > :04:39.want to see a properly functioning government in Northern Ireland. We
:04:40. > :04:43.are ready do that today. However, in the absence of an Executive, this
:04:44. > :04:48.money is ear-marked for Northern Ireland. We have a mechanism between
:04:49. > :04:53.the Conservative Government and the DUP that will ensure the money is
:04:54. > :04:57.delivered for Northern Ireland if there isn't an Executive. So it can
:04:58. > :05:01.be spent through direct rule? Yes, because ultimately if we don't have
:05:02. > :05:05.a functioning government in Northern Ireland, then Westminster has the
:05:06. > :05:10.responsibility to ensure that Northern Ireland is governed. The
:05:11. > :05:15.issue of the border isn't in the deal, but explain something to me,
:05:16. > :05:20.what's to stop a member of the European Union, somebody from
:05:21. > :05:23.Romania or Poland, landing in Dublin, wandering across the board
:05:24. > :05:32.tore Northern Ireland, getting a job in Belfast and travelling to London
:05:33. > :05:36.and taking up residence in London? Well that presupposes we don't have
:05:37. > :05:40.modern technology. Of course we do. When you walk down the high street,
:05:41. > :05:46.you're being watched by CCTV. We have got the technology now to
:05:47. > :05:51.follow people wherever they go. So if someone lands in Dublin and
:05:52. > :05:54.crosses into the United Kingdom and gets a job in Belfast, the
:05:55. > :05:57.authorities in Belfast will know about that person. If they seek to
:05:58. > :06:01.travel to other parts of United Kingdom, the authorities are going
:06:02. > :06:04.to know about that person. Every time I travel from Belfast to
:06:05. > :06:09.London, there is a record of my travel and my journey. So the idea
:06:10. > :06:13.that people can move about freely and government doesn't know what
:06:14. > :06:23.they're doing, I'm afraid doesn't reflect the reality. But that is
:06:24. > :06:26.still a hard 300 long mile board tore -- border to track everyone.
:06:27. > :06:32.You're saying you will be able to track every person that goes,
:06:33. > :06:41.arrives in Dublin and goes north? Of course not. We are not saying you
:06:42. > :06:49.track them at the point they cross the board -- border, although we do
:06:50. > :06:53.monitor the movement of vehicles on a daily basis. Dublin shares
:06:54. > :06:57.information with London already about the movement of people in and
:06:58. > :07:04.out of the country. Of course there are ways in which people can cross
:07:05. > :07:09.the border. . But when they're in Northern Ireland, they can't hide
:07:10. > :07:14.forever. They're going to have to come out and if they want to be
:07:15. > :07:19.employed, Northern Ireland is a small community of 2 million people.
:07:20. > :07:23.The idea you can hide thousands of people in that small community just
:07:24. > :07:26.doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. Of course, we are going
:07:27. > :07:31.to know that people are there. And if they seek to move to other parts
:07:32. > :07:34.of UK. Their movements will be monitored.
:07:35. > :07:38.We want to talk to you more about Brexit.
:07:39. > :07:40.Today the Government set out its offer for EU citizens
:07:41. > :07:45.It's a 15-page document that will now form part of the negotiation.
:07:46. > :07:47.We have picked out some of the most interesting elements.
:07:48. > :07:49.Those granted "settled status" in the UK
:07:50. > :07:51.will be able to work, study and claim benefits
:07:52. > :08:00.The cut-off date will be sometime before March 2019.
:08:01. > :08:03.Once EU citizens have been in the UK for five years they can
:08:04. > :08:06.But importantly there will be a two-year grace period
:08:07. > :08:18.If there is to be a transition period for business after March
:08:19. > :08:20.2019, then the EU has already signalled that single market rules
:08:21. > :08:22.would have to apply - and that includes free
:08:23. > :08:26.This two years grace period could form a basis
:08:27. > :08:28.for a transitional trade deal somewhere down the line.
:08:29. > :08:30.Today Mrs may said she wanted to address the concerns
:08:31. > :08:34.The leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn said her offer
:08:35. > :08:37.I know there's been some anxiety for EU citizens
:08:38. > :08:40.about what would happen at the point we leave the EU.
:08:41. > :08:42.Today I want to put that anxiety to rest.
:08:43. > :08:45.I want to completely reassure people that under these plans no EU citizen
:08:46. > :08:49.currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point
:08:50. > :08:53.By making an offer only after negotiations have begun the PM
:08:54. > :08:56.has dragged the issue of citizens and families deep into the delicate
:08:57. > :08:58.and complex negotiations of our future trade relations
:08:59. > :09:01.with the EU which she herself has being willing to say
:09:02. > :09:10.This is confirmation the govt is prepared to use people
:09:11. > :09:23.Sir Jeffrey, come bg back to you, who should have jurisdiction when it
:09:24. > :09:26.comes to EU citizens, the British or the European Supreme Court? We
:09:27. > :09:31.believe it should be in the British courts of course. Because the UK
:09:32. > :09:36.will be leaving the European Union. I think the proposals that the Prime
:09:37. > :09:40.Minister's put forward are entirely reasonable and I think quite
:09:41. > :09:47.generous. We haven't yet heard from the EU. The detail of thier
:09:48. > :09:52.proposals ago the rights of British citizens living in EU states it
:09:53. > :09:57.would be good to hear how generous they are going to be those people.
:09:58. > :10:03.Arlene Foster will be influential in this debate. How can she be so
:10:04. > :10:09.influential in the UK Government and also in Stormont. There is clearly a
:10:10. > :10:14.conflict of interest? I'm not sure that there is. In the end
:10:15. > :10:17.immigration is a national issue, not a devolved issue. She is going to be
:10:18. > :10:22.in negotiations with the Government and then has to sit down in
:10:23. > :10:28.negotiation with Sinn Fein and she is talking to the Government about
:10:29. > :10:33.the power sharing is and she can whisper in the the Prime Minister's
:10:34. > :10:37.ear. If Sinn Fein took their seats at Westminster, they have seven MPs.
:10:38. > :10:40.They choose to exclude themselves from Westminster from the national
:10:41. > :10:43.Parliament. That is their choice. We didn't put them out. No one else
:10:44. > :10:49.did. They took that decision themselves. And look the DUP has ten
:10:50. > :10:55.MPs elected to Westminster. Why should we have a voice? Do my
:10:56. > :10:59.constituents not have the right to be represented at Westminster and
:11:00. > :11:03.Stormont. It was Westminster that established the devolved government.
:11:04. > :11:07.But there are different powers at store months and different powers at
:11:08. > :11:13.Westminster. Immigration is a Westminster issue and it is right
:11:14. > :11:16.that the DUP MPs at should have influence like other members of
:11:17. > :11:21.Parliament. If Sinn Fein want to have influence, they know what they
:11:22. > :11:24.need to do. Thabg their seat - take their seats at Westminster. That
:11:25. > :11:32.what is they were elected to do. Thank you for joining us. Is is very
:11:33. > :11:37.complicated and a real can of worms, there are issues of sovereignty,
:11:38. > :11:41.immigration of London being a fair player in the Northern Ireland
:11:42. > :11:44.agreements and there is Scotland and Wales saying f this money is going
:11:45. > :11:48.to Northern Ireland, what about us? I don't see how it is going to be
:11:49. > :11:51.easy for Theresa May to answer her critic on this. It is difficult. It
:11:52. > :11:55.will be some relief to the government that they have this done
:11:56. > :11:59.before Thursday, when they vote on the legislative programme. It
:12:00. > :12:03.wouldn't have been good to be seen to still negotiating, because things
:12:04. > :12:08.are chaotic enough and there will be that argument from Scotland and
:12:09. > :12:19.Wales. But Damian Green. Already is. Damian Green said there are lots of
:12:20. > :12:26.deals outside the Barnett formula. And Jeffrey Donaldson is right, why
:12:27. > :12:31.should Northern Ireland constituents be less important. I'm conscious as
:12:32. > :12:34.a northerner we never talk about the money that goes to places like
:12:35. > :12:37.Newcastle and Sunderland. The problem for the Government is each
:12:38. > :12:46.time they talk about austerity, everybody will point to this deal.
:12:47. > :12:48.Yeah. Now on to the news from the United States.
:12:49. > :12:49.A clear victory for national security.
:12:50. > :12:52.That's what President Trump is calling the Supreme Court's
:12:53. > :12:54.decision to partially reinstate his travel ban
:12:55. > :12:58.which has been held up in the legal system for months.
:12:59. > :13:01.It impacts citizens from six Muslim majority nations and now it will be
:13:02. > :13:03.enforced for anyone who doesn't have an existing relationship
:13:04. > :13:06.with a person or entity in the United States.
:13:07. > :13:09.The Supreme Court will examine the case in full in October
:13:10. > :13:11.and in today's statement the president said this ruling
:13:12. > :13:16.will allow him to use an important tool for protecting the US.
:13:17. > :13:23.Joining us now to discuss the impact is strategist Ron Christie.
:13:24. > :13:30.The president says this is a clear victory for him over a contentious
:13:31. > :13:34.issue, this travel ban, but it is not a total victory is it, they
:13:35. > :13:38.didn't go as far as he might have wanted. I think it is a big victory
:13:39. > :13:42.for him. In the sense of he gets his travel ban, he gets to say that you
:13:43. > :13:46.have to stay out of United States for a certain amount of time. But
:13:47. > :13:53.most importantly the Supreme Court will hear nit October. I think my
:13:54. > :13:57.reading is the justices want to look at this full and look at the
:13:58. > :14:02.conflict in the two circuits that have been looking at it and say we
:14:03. > :14:07.are going to rule on this. Spell this out for people who had been
:14:08. > :14:10.wanting to travel to the United States from those Muslim-majority
:14:11. > :14:16.countries, what does this mean for them in practical terms? If you have
:14:17. > :14:19.a relative, a job, if you have a presence, a contact in the United
:14:20. > :14:25.States, you're still free to come to the United States. If you don't have
:14:26. > :14:28.a someone or a reason to be here in the United States, then that means
:14:29. > :14:34.that the amount of duration for this ban, you can't come to the United
:14:35. > :14:40.States. I guess the question is will we see the chaotic scenes at the
:14:41. > :14:45.start. I remember that. On that Friday. The thing that struck me,
:14:46. > :14:49.looking at this ruling today, is they have looked at t purely within
:14:50. > :14:54.the confines of existing law. They have not talked about religion or
:14:55. > :15:00.people's faith. They have looked at it purely in the terms of sweeping
:15:01. > :15:06.presidential powers in terms of national security. That is right. If
:15:07. > :15:10.you look at what the party that sued the president on this ban said, they
:15:11. > :15:15.said it was a violation of the establishment clause, that says the
:15:16. > :15:22.Government cannot act in a manner that is contrito religion or have a
:15:23. > :15:28.nonsecular purpose. The president said the language is clear in the
:15:29. > :15:31.Orde hear the as his authority is -- order as his authority, he is
:15:32. > :15:35.allowed to say who can come to the United States and who he can exclude
:15:36. > :15:39.for national security purposes. When you look at the language at what the
:15:40. > :15:43.moving party who sued the president and what President Trump said, one
:15:44. > :15:48.said religion and President Trump was able to convince the court it
:15:49. > :15:56.was not a religion purpose for instituting the ban. Given what the
:15:57. > :15:58.president said it is not clear this what is they would rule.
:15:59. > :16:00.Last week, Republican Senators set out their proposal
:16:01. > :16:07.And in the run up to Congress's recess for the 4th July it's
:16:08. > :16:09.a big test for the party and President this week.
:16:10. > :16:12.The Senate said it would vote on the proposed plans by the end
:16:13. > :16:18.There are 52 Republican senators so they can't afford to lose
:16:19. > :16:21.And at the moment it's thought there could be as many
:16:22. > :16:23.as five Republican Senators who would vote
:16:24. > :16:27.Remember, some of these senators are in tight races in 2018.
:16:28. > :16:29.In an interview with Fox News, President Trump
:16:30. > :16:40.acknowledged its not easy to please everyone.
:16:41. > :16:43.Mean - that was my term, because I want to see,
:16:44. > :16:46.I want to see, and I speak from the heart, that's what I
:16:47. > :16:49.want to see, I want to see a bill with heart.
:16:50. > :16:52.Health care is is a very complicated subject from the standpoint that you
:16:53. > :16:54.move it this way and this group doesn't like it.
:16:55. > :16:57.You move it a little bit over here, you have a
:16:58. > :17:00.And honestly, nobody can be totally happy.
:17:01. > :17:07.This has to do with picking a plan that everybody's going to like.
:17:08. > :17:10.Among those Republican senators coming under heat
:17:11. > :17:14.for opposing the current bill is Dean Heller of Nevada.
:17:15. > :17:17.He faces a tough re-election campaign next year and on Friday
:17:18. > :17:20.he said this legislation would mean a loss of cover for millions
:17:21. > :17:24.of Americans, including a good number in his state.
:17:25. > :17:28.Well that has sparked a fierce ad campaign.
:17:29. > :17:32.A pro-Trump group is planning to pour in more than a million
:17:33. > :17:35.dollars to oppose Heller's decision and the other side is
:17:36. > :17:43.Nevadans need Senator Heller to vote no on health care repeal.
:17:44. > :17:50.Heller decides whether your costs go up by double digits.
:17:51. > :17:54.Whether you're one of the 138,000 who lose coverage.
:17:55. > :17:55.Whether Medicaid is gutted, putting disabled
:17:56. > :18:03.Heller decides whether our world communities suffer.
:18:04. > :18:06.Senator Heller, you have a deciding vote.
:18:07. > :18:09.Nevadans need you to vote no on health care repeal.
:18:10. > :18:13.Senator Heller has made his position clear.
:18:14. > :18:15.That it is unacceptable to us and millions of
:18:16. > :18:35.If you're opposed to this bill, we are opposed to you.
:18:36. > :18:43.I think that is the latest ad for the latest block buster. People
:18:44. > :18:49.thought they had got through the election campaign and now all
:18:50. > :18:52.they're getting is health care ads, Republican Senators seem to be
:18:53. > :19:01.inching away from their own health care bill. No question. If you look
:19:02. > :19:06.at this, you need at least 50. There is as many as six who want nothing
:19:07. > :19:12.to do with this. People like Rob Portman in Ohio, who says we are not
:19:13. > :19:20.doing enough with Medicaid and it has two billion and they want 40 --
:19:21. > :19:25.40 billion. It shows the gulf between those who want to spend a
:19:26. > :19:33.little. And those who say we should spend more. We are still wait fog tr
:19:34. > :19:38.CBO score of the congressional budget office, which has never been
:19:39. > :19:45.good, and then they go home to their constituents and they will get it in
:19:46. > :19:55.the neck there. They really to. -- they really do. In Corrado they have
:19:56. > :19:59.ads targeting their Senator and so this is a serious issue that these
:20:00. > :20:04.Senators are trying to deal with of how do I deal with the needs of my
:20:05. > :20:09.constituents, versus what the party leadership is telling us. It is a
:20:10. > :20:16.tightrope and this point I don't see the bill passing this week. Most
:20:17. > :20:21.other person count -- western countries do not spend time talking
:20:22. > :20:25.about health care. Here it is a such a make or break issue, how important
:20:26. > :20:29.is it for the president? It is significant. The Republicans have
:20:30. > :20:39.been saying for seven to eight year we want to get rid of Obamacare and
:20:40. > :20:43.knew they have the opportunity with the largest majority can they do
:20:44. > :20:47.this. At this is juncture I think the answer is no. Thank you for
