:00:16. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to 100 days. North Korea launches its first
:00:23. > :00:29.intercontinental mobile missile. The global power now face a challenge.
:00:30. > :00:34.After the successful test, President Trump blasts Beijing for not working
:00:35. > :00:39.to help the White House. In the next hour, the UN Security Council cold
:00:40. > :00:44.an emergency meeting cold by America. It wants tougher action
:00:45. > :00:48.against Korea. The new crisis comes as Donald Trump depart on his second
:00:49. > :00:56.international trip, first for Poland and then tough talk that the G20
:00:57. > :00:59.summit. Also Qatar comes on for more criticism. The Foreign Minister says
:01:00. > :01:03.the country will only negotiate through dialogue, not through
:01:04. > :01:11.blockades. Qatar has never and will never support any terrorist movement
:01:12. > :01:15.or will never row terrorism funds to be raised from Qatar. And the French
:01:16. > :01:20.president certainly knows how to make an entrance. His visit to any
:01:21. > :01:36.clear submarine drawing comparisons to James Bond. -- a nuclear. Hello.
:01:37. > :01:39.Today we have a snapshot of the world in disarray. Donald Trump is
:01:40. > :01:42.on his way to Europe, where he is likely to find that the
:01:43. > :01:46.transatlantic unity of the past has gone. North Korea has just tested
:01:47. > :01:49.its first intercontinental ballistic missile. But far from standing
:01:50. > :01:56.shoulder to shoulder with America, the German Chancellor has taken the
:01:57. > :02:00.occasion of this week's G20 summit to sharply criticised the US. And as
:02:01. > :02:03.if the rift with Europe was not enough, before President Trump
:02:04. > :02:09.boarded his plane today, he sent out eight weeks than in China for not
:02:10. > :02:13.doing enough on North Korea. It reads, trade between China and North
:02:14. > :02:18.Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working
:02:19. > :02:23.with us. But we had to give it a try. In an hour, the US Security
:02:24. > :02:26.Council will meet for an emergency session. So far, but Russia and
:02:27. > :02:34.China have resisted American pressure. Meeting in Moscow, the
:02:35. > :02:38.president is called for North Korea to suspend its ballistic missile
:02:39. > :02:40.programme. In return, they want a moratorium on military exercises by
:02:41. > :02:44.the United States and South Korea. The US responded by doing just the
:02:45. > :02:51.opposite and carried out their own tests on the Korean peninsula. So
:02:52. > :02:54.how does Britain fit into all of this? The British Defence Secretary
:02:55. > :02:57.Michael Fallon heads to Washington tomorrow to meet with top defence
:02:58. > :03:01.officials and his US counterpart. A little earlier, he spoke about that
:03:02. > :03:06.trip and the message you will be taken when it comes to North Korea.
:03:07. > :03:11.The only thing the Americans are talking about at the moment when it
:03:12. > :03:17.comes to security is North Korea. The US could never accept a nuclear
:03:18. > :03:20.armed North Korea. Do we have to contemplate that at some point the
:03:21. > :03:25.military response might be the only way to stop them? This will
:03:26. > :03:31.obviously be high up on the agenda when I meet the secretary. Clearly,
:03:32. > :03:36.the missile launch is illegal. It is provocative. It is dangerous. And it
:03:37. > :03:40.is unacceptable and we need to do something about it. And that means
:03:41. > :03:44.first of all I think looking at further diplomatic pressure which
:03:45. > :03:46.could be brought. There have been Security Council resolutions before.
:03:47. > :03:51.They probably need to be toughened up. They certainly need to be
:03:52. > :03:56.enforced properly. There may be weaknesses in them. So we need to
:03:57. > :04:01.look at all of that. But also I am sure the United States will be
:04:02. > :04:06.looking at the threat to its own bases in Japan and indeed to its own
:04:07. > :04:10.seaboard. These missiles can now reach Alaska. But where do we stand?
:04:11. > :04:13.Are we urging the Americans to stick with the diplomacy and find a
:04:14. > :04:19.diplomatic solution or are we also talking about a military option?
:04:20. > :04:23.Well, strategic patience as it was called clearly has not worked. The
:04:24. > :04:28.missile programme continues. So it is clearly something we have got to
:04:29. > :04:34.be considered. We do think there is more diplomacy to be done. First in
:04:35. > :04:40.the United Nations work has begun. And looking at the resolutions and
:04:41. > :04:44.whether they are being enforced. But there is also work to be done to
:04:45. > :04:49.continue to bring China even more closely into the game. They have the
:04:50. > :04:53.most influence on North Korea. There is more that China can do and needs
:04:54. > :04:57.to do to get the regime to start responding. When it comes to Nato,
:04:58. > :05:01.President Trump will be in Poland tonight and tomorrow. There are
:05:02. > :05:08.Europeans, particularly in the East, who are concerned about the American
:05:09. > :05:11.commitment to Nato and commit to the Article five, an attack on what is
:05:12. > :05:16.an attack on all. It would help that there was a full commitment to
:05:17. > :05:20.article five. Well, he has committed to it. I was at the leader's, 20 did
:05:21. > :05:25.commit to it. He has made clear that he wants some Nato companies to get
:05:26. > :05:29.up to the 2%. What is encouraging is the movement. They are now spending
:05:30. > :05:35.more. Overall spending has increased markedly. 202I think of the 29
:05:36. > :05:39.countries are increasing their defence spending. A number of them
:05:40. > :05:43.have now meant a date by which they will reach 2%. Other countries
:05:44. > :05:51.making 2% this year. That is Romania. And so Nato has responded
:05:52. > :05:54.to his call. And secondly, we are continuing to work with the United
:05:55. > :06:02.States on modernisation. The secretary and I have tabled a paper
:06:03. > :06:04.with Nato on how we will pursue the modernisation and reduce
:06:05. > :06:07.bureaucracy. Some of the decision-making needs to be speeded
:06:08. > :06:12.up and we want to see that addressed when it comes to the next summit
:06:13. > :06:15.next year. We are committed to this 2% target. You have spoken about it
:06:16. > :06:18.a lot. But there are senior figures within the military who are
:06:19. > :06:23.concerned about troop numbers. The chief of the General staff says
:06:24. > :06:28.there is almost an unprecedented lack of mass in the Army. That is
:06:29. > :06:31.challenging for all three services, to recruit when the economy is
:06:32. > :06:35.growing. Increasingly, they are looking for the same specialisms as
:06:36. > :06:40.the rest of the economy. People who are expert in engineering or IT.
:06:41. > :06:44.These are highly prized people now and we have to compete for them. We
:06:45. > :06:48.had to find a way to recruit them. The best of every generation. And
:06:49. > :06:52.then to retain them. And we continue to look at the offer and making
:06:53. > :06:55.employment in the Army more flexible. We have a bill going
:06:56. > :07:02.through Parliament at the moment. And we will continue to do that. Has
:07:03. > :07:05.the US expressed any concern about British troop numbers? No, they have
:07:06. > :07:11.not done that with me. We have stepped forward in Nato. We are one
:07:12. > :07:13.of the four framework battlegroups, and enhance forward presence. We
:07:14. > :07:20.have deployed troops with the Americans in Poland. We have
:07:21. > :07:24.increased our troop numbers in Afghanistan. What is the right level
:07:25. > :07:27.for the Army? We said in our manifesto that we want to maintain
:07:28. > :07:30.the size of the Armed Forces including and I think this is the
:07:31. > :07:34.crucial thing the ability of the Army to fight at divisional level,
:07:35. > :07:38.to field a war fighting division, which relatively few countries in
:07:39. > :07:44.the world can do. That is our ambition, to be able to do that. And
:07:45. > :07:49.we can do that. A week ago, you were interviewed on this idea that the
:07:50. > :07:52.Syrians were ready to use chemical weapons again. There was a statement
:07:53. > :07:56.from the White House. Have you since then seen evidence that indeed there
:07:57. > :07:59.was an attack in the planning? The Americans had some evidence that
:08:00. > :08:03.chemical weapons might be used again but I am not going to go into
:08:04. > :08:06.details of that. We work extremely closely with the Americans. And I
:08:07. > :08:12.made it very clear that if the Americans resorted to pre-emptive
:08:13. > :08:18.strikes to prevent the use of chemical weapons we would support
:08:19. > :08:21.those. What is the endgame in Syria? Is there anything that President
:08:22. > :08:27.Trump might be able to do at this meeting with President Putin this
:08:28. > :08:31.week to bring it about? No, the Americans have been committed to the
:08:32. > :08:34.process. We have all been encouraging the moderate parties in
:08:35. > :08:40.Syria to come to a new settlement. We want to see a settlement in
:08:41. > :08:48.Syria. We have a settlement in Ir. We have a democratic Government in
:08:49. > :08:50.Iran and we want to see a similar settlement in Syria. We will
:08:51. > :08:56.continue working with the Americans and with everybody else to bring the
:08:57. > :09:00.Geneva process together with the alternative process that we can
:09:01. > :09:04.chart a path to a new political future in Syria. Michael Fallon. So
:09:05. > :09:09.interesting, with so much going on in the world, you spoke about Nato,
:09:10. > :09:13.the size of the British Army, North Korea, Syria. It is a really useful
:09:14. > :09:17.time to be able to talk to him and I was interested to hear him say that
:09:18. > :09:20.he agrees with the White House that the era for strategic patience on
:09:21. > :09:23.North Korea is over. I am to still not fully clear what that means and
:09:24. > :09:27.whether the White House has any better options up its sleeve than
:09:28. > :09:34.were available under President Obama. I think two things came out
:09:35. > :09:37.of this for me. Obviously, the focus will shift to hamburger to the
:09:38. > :09:42.meeting between President Putin and President Trump on Friday. But then
:09:43. > :09:46.you have the serious players. The National Security adviser in
:09:47. > :09:49.Washington and the really experienced men in terms of defence
:09:50. > :09:52.with Michael Fallon over there who is a key figure in the Nato
:09:53. > :09:56.framework as well, and they will be looking at all the options around
:09:57. > :09:59.the table. They have already said there has been a military review.
:10:00. > :10:03.But this is a much more dangerous world. It got more dangerous
:10:04. > :10:06.yesterday and so it does focus debate internally as well within the
:10:07. > :10:13.UK about troop numbers. We got some of the best kit and we're spending
:10:14. > :10:16.money on state-of-the-art defence systems after the spending review in
:10:17. > :10:19.2015. But there has been a lot of criticism here about the troop
:10:20. > :10:23.numbers which slipped just under 80,000. It is the lowest numbers in
:10:24. > :10:28.the army since the 1850s. And you can have as good a kit as you want
:10:29. > :10:31.but you need trained men and well-trained meant that you can
:10:32. > :10:34.retain within the system to operate those systems and that is one of the
:10:35. > :10:39.problems that Britain is facing at the moment and other countries and
:10:40. > :10:43.it is obviously that is the thought of a debate that is going on within
:10:44. > :10:48.European countries at the moment, where they target the money and how
:10:49. > :10:52.much they spend. As we mentioned, the UN Security Council is about to
:10:53. > :10:57.go into that emergency session. It starts in about an hour. It has been
:10:58. > :11:00.called by the United States. Our correspondent is at the United
:11:01. > :11:04.Nations for us. We can cross to her now. Is there any indication after
:11:05. > :11:09.this latest missile test that there is going to be more unity on the
:11:10. > :11:16.security council about what to do about North Korea? Well, in terms of
:11:17. > :11:19.unity, I think we will see across the board condemnation for North
:11:20. > :11:23.Korea's latest test but I think that is where it ends. We are actually
:11:24. > :11:33.going to see a bit of diverging S on what to do next between the US on
:11:34. > :11:36.one side and China on the other. President of China got President
:11:37. > :11:39.Putin to sign onto a plan where they are calling for a suspension to
:11:40. > :11:42.suspension. They think basically that world powers should start
:11:43. > :11:45.talking to North Korea, that they would freeze their nuclear programme
:11:46. > :11:51.if the US and South Korea would agree to suspend their joint
:11:52. > :11:54.military exercises. I spoke to a US diplomat and asked if that was
:11:55. > :11:57.something that the US would consider. Previously, they have said
:11:58. > :12:01.that it was only if North Korea would dismantle their programme,
:12:02. > :12:05.that they would consider speaking again. And he told me that is not
:12:06. > :12:10.really where they are going at this point. The US is still concerned
:12:11. > :12:13.about is really pushing for more sanctions and making sure that the
:12:14. > :12:17.sanctions that have already been passed are actually really being
:12:18. > :12:24.implemented. So we will likely hear the US ambassador pointed the finger
:12:25. > :12:27.at those who are allowing workers from North Korea, which means money
:12:28. > :12:31.being filtered back there. Also going after those who are helping
:12:32. > :12:37.economically and militarily and also ignoring some of the sanctions. I
:12:38. > :12:40.was just going to say very quickly, that issue of strategic patience
:12:41. > :12:43.that Michael Fallon was talking about, it has worked in the past
:12:44. > :12:47.with China because they wanted this buffer between South Korea and their
:12:48. > :12:53.border. But they must be concerned that this is going to quickly, that
:12:54. > :12:57.it is too much even for them. Yes, absolutely. We've seen China in the
:12:58. > :13:01.past. Last month, they were willing to work with the United States to
:13:02. > :13:06.negotiate, but 14 North Korean individuals and two that sanction
:13:07. > :13:09.blacklist of asset freezes and travel bans. Over the last year, we
:13:10. > :13:12.had to resolutions with the sanctions, for China has been
:13:13. > :13:16.concerned about this. The problem for them as they have to have a
:13:17. > :13:19.delicate balance. They do not want to destabilise the region too much
:13:20. > :13:23.and have chaos and refugees on their doorstep so they are trying to find
:13:24. > :13:26.that balance. OK, for the moment, then he very much. The most
:13:27. > :13:30.intriguing part of the G20 summit will be the first meeting between
:13:31. > :13:33.Donald Trump Vladimir Putin which is scheduled for Friday. The present's
:13:34. > :13:38.broader relationship with Europe is also under scrutiny. It appear last
:13:39. > :13:41.month did not go to smoothly. Funny that you remember that. One place
:13:42. > :13:47.that Donald Trump is guaranteed a friendly reception is in Poland. The
:13:48. > :13:49.Conservative Party their shares his populist agenda but just to make
:13:50. > :13:52.sure that the president get a rousing reception, the Government is
:13:53. > :13:57.reportedly planning to bus and thousands of people to Warsaw to
:13:58. > :14:00.cheer him on. Senior vice president for Europe at the Centre for
:14:01. > :14:04.strategic and International studies this year. You also used to work at
:14:05. > :14:07.the US State Department on European affairs. So Angela Merkel has a
:14:08. > :14:12.welcome President to Donald Trump to Europe. She gives an interview and
:14:13. > :14:15.says we have very different world views, the president thinks that
:14:16. > :14:18.there are winners and losers, we need to start thinking there are
:14:19. > :14:25.winners and winners. Absolutely. Not terribly diplomatic. No, but I think
:14:26. > :14:28.now leaders are speaking out very clearly. When President Trump
:14:29. > :14:34.arrives in Warsaw, you will meet with the Government that sees very
:14:35. > :14:38.eye to eye with him, but for its anti-German and anti-European Union
:14:39. > :14:43.sentiment, it's more nationalistic stance, its views on energy, both
:14:44. > :14:46.from use of call to energy independence from Russia. So
:14:47. > :14:49.President Trump, like his first trip abroad, when he went to Saudi Arabia
:14:50. > :14:54.first and then to Europe, ye had a great reception at that first stop.
:14:55. > :14:59.I think his advisers think he will take some comfort from that. He had
:15:00. > :15:02.a major address on the future of the transatlantic relationship. We are
:15:03. > :15:07.all very keen to hear his words because really for the last year
:15:08. > :15:11.both his candid bit and now as president, he has questioned the
:15:12. > :15:14.alliance. He is questioned free trade and everything about the
:15:15. > :15:16.transatlantic relationship. It is interesting listening to Angela
:15:17. > :15:19.Merkel and watching what is happening between Germany and China,
:15:20. > :15:22.particularly on issues like climate change. It seems as if the Europeans
:15:23. > :15:25.have said to themselves we give you a chance that we listen to you when
:15:26. > :15:28.you came to talk to us last time at the Nato alliance but now we have
:15:29. > :15:34.figured out that we have two form our own alliances and you have a
:15:35. > :15:38.host of G20 diplomats and officials being quoted in the press, saying,
:15:39. > :15:43.we believe America is in the retreat and there is not the leadership that
:15:44. > :15:46.we need and we will step out. Yes, I think they have spent a lot of time
:15:47. > :15:48.trying to see where they could work with President Trump and his
:15:49. > :15:52.administration and the others come to the conclusion that they don't
:15:53. > :15:59.CIA to eye. Europe cannot walk away from the United States. America is
:16:00. > :16:03.your's security guarantor in this world and it is in disarray, as you
:16:04. > :16:07.mentioned earlier. We can't walk away. The United States is the
:16:08. > :16:12.bedrock of the international system. But Europe does and has other
:16:13. > :16:14.options. It has others trading relationships. The EU and Japan
:16:15. > :16:19.trading relationship will be certainly front and centre of the
:16:20. > :16:24.G20, so free-trade, international multilateral solutions to the
:16:25. > :16:28.climate issue. If the US stepped out, the rest of the world will not
:16:29. > :16:31.wait for hours. That is what President Trump does not understand.
:16:32. > :16:37.You can step away but everyone else will keep moving on and that will be
:16:38. > :16:40.a disadvantage to the United States. Christian, is this good for America,
:16:41. > :16:44.this position of being in retreat that the president seems to be
:16:45. > :16:48.taking? Well, certainly China and Germany are looking to fill the gap.
:16:49. > :16:52.I was just going to ask, when it comes to Poland, there will be a
:16:53. > :16:56.warm reception, they are bringing in the supporters tomorrow. But there
:16:57. > :16:58.has been some concern about Poland and his attitude towards Vladimir
:16:59. > :17:05.Putin, that there might be some grand bargain where by the Eastern
:17:06. > :17:12.Europeans might lose out. You are absolutely right. Poland is a
:17:13. > :17:16.stalwart Nato member. There are over 900 US forces in Poland to defend
:17:17. > :17:22.Nato countries against potential Russian aggression. And this is
:17:23. > :17:25.where the Polish Government and President Trump would disagree
:17:26. > :17:28.fundamentally on Russia policy. And it will be very interesting to see
:17:29. > :17:33.what he says in Warsaw and then what he will say to President Putin when
:17:34. > :17:38.he meets with him formally on the margins of the G20 summit. We may
:17:39. > :17:42.have two very different messages coming out of that. Are you saying
:17:43. > :17:45.that there may be a coded message and what he says tomorrow in Poland
:17:46. > :17:51.that might be aimed at President Putin ahead of that meeting? It is
:17:52. > :17:55.unclear. We really have never heard President Trump clearly talk about
:17:56. > :18:00.Russia as a security challenge. Why there are US forces in Poland as
:18:01. > :18:03.part of a Nato enhanced forward presence on the eastern flank. It
:18:04. > :18:09.will be interesting to see how he captures that. And again, I feel
:18:10. > :18:14.like I'm having deja vu all over again. In Brussels last month, we
:18:15. > :18:17.were told he would give the speech and say the magic words on article
:18:18. > :18:22.five. He gave a very different speech. We are being promised a very
:18:23. > :18:24.forward leaning speech about those Article five commitments. We don't
:18:25. > :18:29.know what President Trump will say, what speech he will get. Who is the
:18:30. > :18:35.author of that speech. But it has been very clear that President Trump
:18:36. > :18:38.has eroded fundamentally America plasma credibility in the Alliance
:18:39. > :18:43.and it is really hard to rebuild that once that credibility is taken
:18:44. > :18:46.away. It will be fascinating. Thank you very much. I did say a few
:18:47. > :18:51.minutes ago that the Army needed more men and I was rightfully called
:18:52. > :18:55.out on Twitter for not saying men and women and usually you would pick
:18:56. > :18:59.me up for that. I was just letting you have a free pass. If I take you
:19:00. > :19:03.to task every single time, Christian, it is all we would talk
:19:04. > :19:07.about. We would never get through. You are quite right. My apologies. I
:19:08. > :19:14.did mean men and women. It has been three weeks since Grenfell Tower was

:19:59. > :20:03.He went over to comfort some young children which, for me, is
:20:04. > :20:07.very heroic, and I want that to stick and stay in the family.
:20:08. > :20:13.We may never know if my uncle is ever going to be found.
:20:14. > :20:19.The family is just broken and there is no way of fixing them.
:20:20. > :20:22.This is something that can never be fixed
:20:23. > :20:25.and they want to be able to bury their loved ones,

:20:35. > :20:52.The police now say they have recovered all the remains
:20:53. > :20:55.from the building that were visible and 87
:20:56. > :20:59.recoveries, as they put it, have been made.
:21:00. > :21:03.But they stress, because of the catastrophic damage, that
:21:04. > :21:05.doesn't mean 87 people and they still can't
:21:06. > :21:11.Meanwhile, survivors struggle, carrying bags of donated food
:21:12. > :21:18.Three weeks and you will have housing was the promise.
:21:19. > :21:19.This survivor didn't want to be identified,
:21:20. > :21:20.scared of being seen to
:21:21. > :21:25.I didn't take them up on their offer.
:21:26. > :21:29.Although they have promised they were going to pay
:21:30. > :21:34.not have to pay for a year, but after that I said
:21:35. > :21:38.And they said the legal documents are not ready yet.
:21:39. > :21:42.Some have preferred to stay within their
:21:43. > :21:44.temporary accommodation in hotels than move into temporary
:21:45. > :21:52.accommodation, so there have only been 14 acceptances so far.
:21:53. > :21:58.scared and let down, the Government has now sent

:22:23. > :22:41.84-year-old Sheila Smith, described as a truly beautiful person.
:22:42. > :22:48.That is so sad. Three weeks on those families not yet rehoused. You will
:22:49. > :22:52.enter into a formal co-operation pact with Cuba, moving a step closer
:22:53. > :22:55.to the normalisation of relations. The European Parliament also
:22:56. > :22:59.approved a resolution calling upon Havana to respect human rights. The
:23:00. > :23:02.deal would now be presented to all European member states for

:23:06. > :23:10.American travel and trade restrictions on Cuba. President of
:23:11. > :23:14.Canada has met Queen Elizabeth on a visit to Scotland. He says he wants
:23:15. > :23:17.to honour the importance of the British sovereign to his country's
:23:18. > :23:22.history as Canada marks its 150th anniversary. Talking of young
:23:23. > :23:30.leaders, there are few world leaders who can compete in popularity with
:23:31. > :23:36.Justin Trudeau, except perhaps Emmanuel Macron. Yesterday, he
:23:37. > :23:39.tweeted a photograph of himself being lowered into a nuclear
:23:40. > :23:44.submarine. It was positioned some 200 miles off the coast of Brittany.
:23:45. > :23:47.Emmanuel Macron was there to highlight his commitment to the
:23:48. > :23:52.nuclear deterrent of France. He described it as the keystone of
:23:53. > :23:56.French security. Yes, perhaps channelling his inner James Bond
:23:57. > :24:01.there. Quite brave, that. I would not do it. Or maybe the milk Tray
:24:02. > :24:07.man, take your pick. Not everybody looks good in a harness. You
:24:08. > :24:10.remember this? Actually, this is something we spotted a little
:24:11. > :24:19.earlier. He looks a little bit like Sean Connery in this film, the hunt
:24:20. > :24:23.for the red October. I think he's definitely channelling that film. We
:24:24. > :24:27.went through these. This was brilliant producer Matt who found
:24:28. > :24:31.these. Let's show the other picture which is also from that same film
:24:32. > :24:35.and that is the two of them being winched down onto the submarine. Can
:24:36. > :24:43.we pull that up? There you go, you see. Do we have my example of what
:24:44. > :24:51.not to do in a harness? Yes, there we go. A little less James Bond and
:24:52. > :24:56.a little more Johnny English. That is Boris Johnson in 2012. Which one
:24:57. > :25:01.would you be? I would definitely be Johnny English. That is what I would
:25:02. > :25:08.look like in a harness, no doubt. It is amazing. Emmanuel Macron is a
:25:09. > :25:11.little bit like Justin Trudeau. He is a total rock star at the moment
:25:12. > :25:15.and I remember when Justin Trudeau started it was a little bit like
:25:16. > :25:18.this and he is busy picking these photo opportunities but eventually,
:25:19. > :25:24.as we have seen in Canada, the politics does start to catch up.
:25:25. > :25:27.Yes, the submarine and France will be the only country with a nuclear
:25:28. > :25:31.deterrent after Britain leads the European Union so actually an
:25:32. > :25:34.important policy issues. Got a great visual opportunity for a man who is
:25:35. > :25:39.clearly very conscious of how he looks. More of that sort of stuff to
:25:40. > :25:48.come in the programme. We will have more of that. We will also talk
:25:49. > :25:51.about Qatar. All of that coming up. Still to come, the Gulf is opening
:25:52. > :25:55.wide divisions with Qatar. Our security correspondent six down with
:25:56. > :25:58.the Qatar Foreign Minister to find out if his country actually does
:25:59. > :26:02.support terrorism. And we will be talking about panda politics as
:26:03. > :26:14.China's International policy arrives in Germany. Hello. Once again, it
:26:15. > :26:18.seems to be the case that once the temperatures touched 30 Celsius, it
:26:19. > :26:21.really seems to make the headlines. Our weather watchers were out in
:26:22. > :26:24.that area to capture the heatwave. You will notice that widely across
:26:25. > :26:28.the south there was plenty of sunshine to be had but across the
:26:29. > :26:31.North East of England, a a lot of cloud. A real dent in the
:26:32. > :26:35.temperatures. Certainly for a good part of the day, that is the sort of
:26:36. > :26:45.scene that people were trying to see through their windows. The
:26:46. > :26:48.north-west, we introduce another area of rain and towards the
:26:49. > :26:53.south-east it may well be that we end the night and a sticky one at
:26:54. > :26:56.that with the prospect of some thunderstorm activity. I do not
:26:57. > :26:59.expect to see a lot of water across the carriageways of the South East
:27:00. > :27:04.but I would not pull out the chance of it being a little damp in some
:27:05. > :27:08.areas and you may well here are some thunder. But it will not be
:27:09. > :27:11.torrential downpours at this stage. Looking further north and west, a
:27:12. > :27:15.dry and fine prospect, at least for a time. Do not be fooled by that.
:27:16. > :27:19.Cloudy for Northern Ireland. More rain as if it was needed across the
:27:20. > :27:24.western side of Scotland after a very damp to stay. Some relief on
:27:25. > :27:27.Wednesday. This range will be unwelcome in some parts and then
:27:28. > :27:31.gradually working ever further eastwards. Through the day, the risk
:27:32. > :27:34.of showers ever further north through East Anglia. Then there is
:27:35. > :27:37.the potential and I put it no stronger than that of some
:27:38. > :27:42.thunderstorm is breaking out from eastern Wales. All a long way from
:27:43. > :27:46.Wimbledon. Even those early showers should not be a bother four play.
:27:47. > :27:50.But I should stress again that even though I have shown you that is very
:27:51. > :27:55.high temperatures, it will not be like that every word. Although some
:27:56. > :27:58.of Thursday's warmth will get into the North of England. If the
:27:59. > :28:03.thunderstorms break-out, they will gradually slip away into the North
:28:04. > :28:06.Sea overnight. On Friday, a lot of hot weather. A fair amount of
:28:07. > :28:11.sunshine to start with and then tending to cloud over to the day.
:28:12. > :28:16.Many areas will stay dry and again the highest of the temperatures to
:28:17. > :28:20.be found across the South East. Friday into Saturday, another finger
:28:21. > :28:25.of cloud and rain just extending through the borders to the north of
:28:26. > :28:26.England too. The weekend turning fresher. Try foremost and there will
:28:27. > :30:08.be some showers. The Pentagon says the United States
:30:09. > :30:16.is capable of defending itself against the kind of intercontinental
:30:17. > :30:18.missile North Korea The United Nations will
:30:19. > :30:21.hold emergency meetings South Korea is calling
:30:22. > :30:37.for tougher sanctions. Saudi Arabia said today it will not
:30:38. > :30:40.lift its embargo of Qatar after the Gulf emirate rejected
:30:41. > :30:42.terms to end the blockade. The Saudi Foreign Minister
:30:43. > :30:44.described the decision He repeated the criticism that
:30:45. > :30:50.Qatar supports terrorism. Saudi Arabia joined the UAE, Egypt
:30:51. > :30:54.and Bahrain in imposing the embargo. The four countries say
:30:55. > :30:56.Qatar doesn't understand We cannot have a country like Qatar
:30:57. > :31:05.that is an ally militarily, and in the GCC, and in the Arab
:31:06. > :31:08.League. And that hosts an airbase
:31:09. > :31:10.from which planes take off to fight Isis and Al-Qaeda,
:31:11. > :31:20.and at the same time, it turns a blind eye to terror
:31:21. > :31:22.financiers who operate openly in Qatar, turns a blind eye
:31:23. > :31:25.to extremists who advocate suicide bombings and advocate young
:31:26. > :31:31.men going to fight in war zones. In response, Qatar's Foreign
:31:32. > :31:36.Minister again said that resolving the dispute would come from dialogue
:31:37. > :31:43.and not a blockade. And the treatment of his country
:31:44. > :31:46.is an insult and clear He spoke to our Security
:31:47. > :31:49.Correspondent, Frank Gardner. First of all, Qatar has never
:31:50. > :31:52.and will never support any terrorist movement, or will never allow
:31:53. > :31:55.terrorism funds to be raised from Qatar or to be channelled
:31:56. > :31:58.through Qatar. And will take whatever measure it
:31:59. > :32:06.takes in order to get rid of them. And therefore, this is Qatar
:32:07. > :32:16.moving from a strategic dimension in countering terrorism,
:32:17. > :32:18.and others who are willing We are investing in education
:32:19. > :32:31.in those four other countries. Frank Gardner joins us in the
:32:32. > :32:34.studio. Before he went to Poland today, Donald Trump did speak to the
:32:35. > :32:38.Egyptian president to see if they could mediate a solution. But it
:32:39. > :32:42.does not look as if it is de-escalating. No, and Egypt could
:32:43. > :32:47.not mediate as an honest broker because Egypt and Qatar have long
:32:48. > :32:52.had bad relations. When President Mubarak was president of Egypt, he
:32:53. > :32:57.finally paid a visit to Qatar, and he said he visited Al Jazeera, and
:32:58. > :33:01.he said, "All this noise from just this room?" He could not believe it,
:33:02. > :33:04.and relations have often been very bad. He once accused Qatar are
:33:05. > :33:10.having the population of a small hotel. The fact is that this row has
:33:11. > :33:15.really spun out of control. It has got way beyond the level at which I
:33:16. > :33:18.think they can control it. I spend time interviewing the Qatar Foreign
:33:19. > :33:23.Minister, as you saw today, and his view is that the accusations of
:33:24. > :33:31.terrorism are groundless and a smoke screen for what he says Saudi Arabia
:33:32. > :33:34.and the UAE we want to do is to bring Qatar's foreign policy in line
:33:35. > :33:42.with beers and make-up subordinated. That is not the view others have.
:33:43. > :33:47.This is a real turning point in the Gulf. Qatar has been in the black
:33:48. > :33:50.sheep, they are saying, for too long. It has been hosting people
:33:51. > :33:55.spouting a venomous ideology and it has been supporting Islamist groups,
:33:56. > :34:00.violent Islamist groups in some cases, they are saying, as far away
:34:01. > :34:05.as Libya and Syria. Qatar does admit that in the early stages of the city
:34:06. > :34:08.and conflict, they did have some unsavoury groups with an unsavoury
:34:09. > :34:13.agenda. But they said they were not alone was about, other people did.
:34:14. > :34:18.They did not names names, but the Saudis did as well. When I was in
:34:19. > :34:22.Cairo, they were very animated about Al Jazeera, and this is one of the
:34:23. > :34:27.13 months that they get rid of Al Jazeera. But the always felt that
:34:28. > :34:32.they were in cahoots with the Muslim brotherhood, so it is not an honest
:34:33. > :34:37.broker in this negotiation, Egypt. I was interested to hear national
:34:38. > :34:42.security people in Washington over the last few days. They felt that in
:34:43. > :34:46.this spat, the Saudis might have overplayed their hand with the Turks
:34:47. > :34:52.getting involved on the Qatar res site. What do you think? Who has the
:34:53. > :34:59.upper hand in this one? For the Saudis side, the driving force is
:35:00. > :35:02.the new Crown Prince,, a man who people think might be king before
:35:03. > :35:12.the end of the year if his father abdicates. He is backed by the Crown
:35:13. > :35:17.Prince of Abu Dhabi, and certainly I think, they expected Qatar to come
:35:18. > :35:20.into line. Now, Qatar said these demands were so unrealistic as to be
:35:21. > :35:28.an actionable, and they were designed to be rejected, making it a
:35:29. > :35:35.manufactured crisis. I am not sure that is good for anybody. I asked
:35:36. > :35:38.the ten the Mac Foreign Minister, and he said they had discussed it,
:35:39. > :35:45.they had made preparations, but they hope it does not come to that. Qatar
:35:46. > :35:49.has a tiny population, a tiny defence Force, and Saudi Arabia's
:35:50. > :35:54.National Guard wanted to, they would roll across the border. There is not
:35:55. > :35:58.much Qatar could do about that. The Turks are there, but not very many
:35:59. > :36:04.of them, Turkey has a base that can take up to 3000 people. They have
:36:05. > :36:14.reinforced armoured vehicles. It is 2500 kilometres from Bangkok to Joe
:36:15. > :36:24.Hart, so it is vital to the US- led campaign against so-called Islamic
:36:25. > :36:27.state. It is from -- it is called the coalition operations centre.
:36:28. > :36:32.From there, they control all operations as far-away as
:36:33. > :36:34.Afghanistan. Very interesting. Thanks, Frank, for coming in.
:36:35. > :36:37.The petrol engine could soon be a thing of the past.
:36:38. > :36:39.Today Volvo became the first major car manufacturer to fully commit
:36:40. > :36:44.all its new models from 2019 will have either electric or hybrid
:36:45. > :36:47.Making things more interesting, it's the new Chinese owners
:36:48. > :36:50.of the company that are behind this new approach.
:36:51. > :36:52.But with emissions standards getting tighter and customer
:36:53. > :36:53.demands changing, perhaps they are moving
:36:54. > :36:57.with the times. The BBC's Richard Westcott reports.
:36:58. > :37:02.The shapes have changed a bit over the
:37:03. > :37:05.years, and thank goodness when it comes to the brown Allegro, but all
:37:06. > :37:08.these cars have one thing in common - an internal combustion engine,
:37:09. > :37:16.We have relied on it for 100 years, but is
:37:17. > :37:19.Volvo cars is taking a bold step forward,
:37:20. > :37:31.heralding the end of an era for the pure internal combustion engine.
:37:32. > :37:38.From 2019, Volvo says all its new models will be at least
:37:39. > :37:40.Ambitious plans, but experts say it won't be quick.
:37:41. > :37:43.Diesel and petrol have a long life in them yet.
:37:44. > :37:45.A lot of people will choose to adopt hydrogen before the
:37:46. > :37:48.call all electric, and during that time, batteries will improve,
:37:49. > :37:51.of miles you can do, and prices will drop,
:37:52. > :37:54.which will also make them more tenable for people to buy.
:37:55. > :37:57.So it is going to be quite a while yet before we see all
:37:58. > :37:59.electric cars as every car on the road.
:38:00. > :38:01.In fact, sales of alternative engines remain small.
:38:02. > :38:03.In June last year, more than 8,300 electric and
:38:04. > :38:06.hybrid vehicles were registered in the UK last year.
:38:07. > :38:09.That increased to nearly 11,000 this year, but it is still dwarfed
:38:10. > :38:14.by the quarter of a million petrols and diesels people bought.
:38:15. > :38:17.This street sums up one of the big reasons that plug-in cars
:38:18. > :38:28.We do not have garages, we live in flats.
:38:29. > :38:31.You often can't even park near your house, so how are you
:38:32. > :38:33.supposed to charge your electric car?
:38:34. > :38:35.Then there is the problem of topping up mid-journey.
:38:36. > :38:38.Certainly, some of the country is better than others.
:38:39. > :38:41.So Newcastle and the north-east has quite a lot of
:38:42. > :38:42.charging infrastructure. Wales is very poor.
:38:43. > :38:45.But to get from where we are to where we need to be,
:38:46. > :38:50.different parties to have to come forward and put in charging points,
:38:51. > :38:53.We will need to see businesses putting them in
:38:54. > :38:56.for their staff, supermarkets, anyone who has got a public car park
:38:57. > :39:00.Electric cars are getting cheaper with a better range.
:39:01. > :39:03.It will still be some years yet, though, before the internal
:39:04. > :39:13.combustion engine drives off for good.
:39:14. > :39:16.A rather different Chinese innovation now.
:39:17. > :39:19.Now, for decades China, has been engaged in panda diplomacy, and now
:39:20. > :39:21.two of the cuddly ambassadors have found a new home.
:39:22. > :39:23.A pair are going on display in Germany,
:39:24. > :39:25.with Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Chinese President Xi Jinping
:39:26. > :39:28.Yes, but their arrival doesn't come cheap.
:39:29. > :39:30.China has loaned the animals to the Berlin Zoo,
:39:31. > :39:33.which will pay $1 million a year to host them.
:39:34. > :39:35.As Jonny Dymond reports, it's a chance to forge closer ties
:39:36. > :39:57.They may look friendly, but don't get too close. China's loan off
:39:58. > :40:02.these three pandas -- to pandas, comes from the global superpower
:40:03. > :40:07.with a price. -- two pandas. It is worth paying attention when Germany
:40:08. > :40:12.and China meet these days. Germany is Europe's undisputed leader.
:40:13. > :40:19.China's surging economic power is turning into global political
:40:20. > :40:24.muscle. The Chancellor and the president are meeting before the
:40:25. > :40:29.world's 20 biggest economies get together in Berlin. Once, it might
:40:30. > :40:33.have been America around the table, but Germany wants Chinese help in
:40:34. > :40:40.propping up a world order destabilised by change in
:40:41. > :40:47.Washington. And China wants open markets to sell into, and allies it
:40:48. > :40:51.can rely on. TRANSLATION: This is pioneering for our relations. We are
:40:52. > :40:57.happy to note that, thanks to mutual efforts on both sides, Chinese and
:40:58. > :41:03.German relations have reached a new phase in which we are moving on a
:41:04. > :41:11.peak level. The panda Special came to Britain in the 1970s, as China
:41:12. > :41:17.emerge from decades of isolation. These pandas were gifts, part of an
:41:18. > :41:24.effort to warm frozen relations. Panda diplomacy, it became known as.
:41:25. > :41:28.Now, the pandas in Berlin are making hearts race, but these bamboo
:41:29. > :41:36.guzzlers are on loan, and they do not come cheap. Nearly ?800,000 a
:41:37. > :41:45.year. For some Berliners, at least, they are worth every penny.
:41:46. > :42:01.We have a resident panda expert, and it is Katty. She was the leaflet.
