:00:13. > :00:15.and as a result the Welsh Government is now issuing new instructions
:00:16. > :00:18.to councils making it clear it does not want 16 and 17
:00:19. > :00:22.And Michael's been back to Wales to help the homeless again -
:00:23. > :00:27.Donald Trumps on display in Europe - one, carefully scripted,
:00:28. > :00:30.The other is the off the cuff President,
:00:31. > :00:32.who slams fake news, criticises his predecessor
:00:33. > :00:34.and undermines the US intelligence agencies.
:00:35. > :00:36.In Poland crowds gave him a friendly welcome -
:00:37. > :00:38.he gave them a speech about the end of western civilisation.
:00:39. > :00:41.The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has
:00:42. > :00:45.Tomorrow he has his first ever meeting with Vladimir Putin -
:00:46. > :00:47.Mr Trump is calling on Russia to stop interfering in Ukraine,
:00:48. > :00:55.will he also tell Russia not to interfere in US elections?
:00:56. > :00:57.The threat of North Korea's nuclear advance weighs over the G20 summit
:00:58. > :01:00.as does the growing rift between China and the US
:01:01. > :01:05.Also: The man who led the British inquiry
:01:06. > :01:10.Sir John Chilcot tells the BBC the former Prime Minister Tony Blair
:01:11. > :01:13.was emotionally involved in the argument and relied more
:01:14. > :01:20.And: It's a beach day for the leaders of Israel and India.
:01:21. > :01:37.We'll tell you why they are hitting the waves.
:01:38. > :01:39.I am Katty Kay in Washington, Christian
:01:40. > :01:44.There is a monument in Krazinksi Square in Warsaw that commemorates
:01:45. > :01:46.the Polish uprising of 1944, which liberated the city
:01:47. > :01:55.Today Donald Trump stood in front of that monument
:01:56. > :01:58.to evoke a new struggle - the battle for western civilisation.
:01:59. > :02:01.And it that moment the American President committed himself
:02:02. > :02:15.The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to
:02:16. > :02:21.survive, do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any
:02:22. > :02:24.cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders?
:02:25. > :02:26.Mr Trump also clearly called on Russia to stop its "destabilizing
:02:27. > :02:28.activities" including its support for "hostile regimes"
:02:29. > :02:33.He confirmed that Poland, Russia's neighbour, will be supplied
:02:34. > :02:37.with the Patriot missile defense system AND standing on European
:02:38. > :02:39.soil, he committed the United States to Nato's Article 5,
:02:40. > :02:57.The United States has demonstrated not merely with words but with its
:02:58. > :03:01.actions that we stand firmly behind Article five, the mutual defence
:03:02. > :03:06.commitment. CHEERING APPLAUSE
:03:07. > :03:11.Words are easy but actions are what matters and for its own protection
:03:12. > :03:12.and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this,
:03:13. > :03:16.Europe must do more. By some margin this was the most pro
:03:17. > :03:19.European speech we have had yet And his commitment to Nato
:03:20. > :03:23.is particular has been welcomed A short while ago President
:03:24. > :03:27.Trump started a meeting She has made it clear she wants
:03:28. > :03:34.to focus on issues, on which Mr Trump has parted ways with much
:03:35. > :03:37.of the European Union, climate The BBC's Ros Atkins
:03:38. > :03:52.is there for us. He's been basking in the acclaim in
:03:53. > :03:56.Poland today but it might be a different picture in Hamburg, what
:03:57. > :04:03.do we know of this bilateral meeting between the president and the
:04:04. > :04:06.Chancellor this evening? You're quite right, Donald Trump is not
:04:07. > :04:12.even scheduled any public speeches here in Hamburg, the US authorities
:04:13. > :04:15.now it would be too complicated so it's bilateral meetings, group
:04:16. > :04:19.meetings behind closed doors which will take place at the summit. We
:04:20. > :04:23.know of the bilateral meeting between Angela Merkel and Donald
:04:24. > :04:29.Trump, Donald Trump arrived about 90 minutes ago and as you have been
:04:30. > :04:32.stating on key issues such as immigration, trade, security and
:04:33. > :04:37.climate change these are not two leaders who see eye to eye. Angela
:04:38. > :04:40.Merkel has put aside her normal diplomatic language and said in the
:04:41. > :04:44.past few months that we can no longer rely on America. When you add
:04:45. > :04:48.that into the back to Donald Trump is not a man who favours taking
:04:49. > :04:51.steps backwards it's hard to see how they will bash on common ground
:04:52. > :04:58.which will have a meaningful impact on policy. I think we'll get a
:04:59. > :05:05.better picture of how Germany and America proceed into the future in
:05:06. > :05:09.parallel rather than together. It's looking positively beach like you
:05:10. > :05:17.are but we are hearing reports there are protests in the city, how is it?
:05:18. > :05:21.Well it's definitely tense. I look like I'm on the beach because I am
:05:22. > :05:25.at the beach bar overlooking the port of Hamburg, one of the biggest
:05:26. > :05:29.in Europe. This bar would normally be teaming on a summers evening but
:05:30. > :05:35.it's very quiet because of what's happening in the centre of time. As
:05:36. > :05:40.I talk to you, echoing across main rubber is the sound of CES canisters
:05:41. > :05:44.being fired. We also know water cannon has been used. It was
:05:45. > :05:49.interesting hearing from the police earlier predicting there would be
:05:50. > :05:53.violence. Talking to protest as they said the police would try to provoke
:05:54. > :05:57.violence. Both sides have their own narrative but there was an
:05:58. > :06:00.inevitability about this protest turning violent and judging by the
:06:01. > :06:06.sounds we are now hearing in the background across the centre of
:06:07. > :06:10.Hamburg that what's happening. They said 20,000 police have been drafted
:06:11. > :06:15.into Hamburg today, all eyes are going to be on this meeting tomorrow
:06:16. > :06:17.between President Trump and President Putin, what are people
:06:18. > :06:26.saying about that particular meeting? Well it's interesting, and
:06:27. > :06:30.event of this scale further are so many fascinating dynamics so many
:06:31. > :06:33.different meetings, Donald Trump and Theresa May for instance that would
:06:34. > :06:37.normally dominate our attention but your right to highlight Vladimir
:06:38. > :06:41.Putin and Donald Trump meeting for the first time. We think they may
:06:42. > :06:45.encounter each other twice, a family photo in the morning were all the
:06:46. > :06:48.leaders get a group photo and they will both be in that so there is a
:06:49. > :06:52.chance they might bump into one another but in the afternoon we have
:06:53. > :06:56.a scheduled bilateral conversation. I think a couple things of note, the
:06:57. > :07:03.speech in Warsaw you mentioned, Donald Trump said Russia needs to
:07:04. > :07:08.stop destabilising the Ukraine but what he did not mention was
:07:09. > :07:12.allegations Russia also try to destabilise the United States. The
:07:13. > :07:15.big question as it always is with diplomatic conversation is what
:07:16. > :07:20.subjects will come up and we have to wait and see which subjects the men
:07:21. > :07:29.choose to broach. For the moment, thank you very much.
:07:30. > :07:31.Here in Washington the President's Warsaw speech was generally well
:07:32. > :07:35.received but not so, his appearance at an earlier
:07:36. > :07:40.In his unscripted comments, there was more criticism
:07:41. > :07:43.of President Obama, another attack on the fake media AND when it comes
:07:44. > :07:45.to Russia and its inteference in the 2016 election -
:07:46. > :07:52.there are always mixed messages from this President.
:07:53. > :07:59.Will you once and for all year saw no definitively say Russia
:08:00. > :08:03.interfered in the 2016 election? Well I think it was Russia and it
:08:04. > :08:07.could've been other people in other countries, could have been a lot of
:08:08. > :08:10.people interfered, I said it very simply, I think it could have been
:08:11. > :08:17.Russia but I think it could well have been other countries and I want
:08:18. > :08:18.be specific. I think a lot of people interfered and it's been happening
:08:19. > :08:19.for a long time. One of the fiercest critics
:08:20. > :08:21.of the Trump administration's handling of Russian meddling has
:08:22. > :08:23.been Nicholas Burns, I spoke to him a brief time
:08:24. > :08:40.ago in Rhode Island. Clarify something for me, his
:08:41. > :08:44.position on Russia? We heard today a full throated rejection of Russian
:08:45. > :08:49.interference in Ukraine, he criticised Russia for destabilising
:08:50. > :08:54.areas of the world and then moments beforehand in a press conference he
:08:55. > :09:00.seemed to reject the idea Russia had been responsible for hacking into
:09:01. > :09:07.the American election, where does he stand? We saute different Trump's,
:09:08. > :09:13.we saw the scripted speech which was tougher on Russia, the destabilising
:09:14. > :09:18.actions in eastern Ukraine. Then we saw President Trump at the press
:09:19. > :09:23.conference where he was critical of the press, where he went very soft
:09:24. > :09:28.on President Putin on the issue of Russia launching a cyber attack on
:09:29. > :09:31.the US elections, saying not completely sure which country
:09:32. > :09:37.attacked the United States. Your guess is as good as mine as to which
:09:38. > :09:41.we will see tomorrow but it's very important he meet two tests, will
:09:42. > :09:46.the United States continued to sanction Russia over Ukraine? I hope
:09:47. > :09:51.we will. And we'll President Trump agree with the US Senate which
:09:52. > :09:56.ported 97-2 to impose tough new sanctions on Russia over attacking?
:09:57. > :10:02.Those are critical bars for tomorrow's meeting with President
:10:03. > :10:07.Putin. We heard him defend article five of the Nato treaty, you were
:10:08. > :10:10.ambassador to Nato or the United States, do you think your former
:10:11. > :10:17.Nato colleagues will be fully reassured by that? I think you have
:10:18. > :10:22.to give credit where it's due, it was the first time we had heard a
:10:23. > :10:25.complete reaffirmation of the article five commitment, an attack
:10:26. > :10:29.on one is an attack on all. That was positive but he spent more time in
:10:30. > :10:34.the speech criticising the Nato alliance than he did praising it.
:10:35. > :10:38.There were veiled criticisms as I understood them of the European
:10:39. > :10:44.Union, Steve Bannon like language decrying the power of government. I
:10:45. > :10:52.thought the speech played well among the far right in Eastern Europe and
:10:53. > :10:56.Poland but I think it was not a speech for Western Europe where he
:10:57. > :11:02.is right now. He meets Vladimir Putin for the first time tomorrow,
:11:03. > :11:08.what would you I was going to ask what you would want to say, but what
:11:09. > :11:12.do you think he will say? I think the first order of business is to
:11:13. > :11:18.get to know each other and establish effective communications. We are two
:11:19. > :11:21.powerful countries, there will be crises and misunderstandings ahead,
:11:22. > :11:26.so you want to have a relationship where you can clearly communicate,
:11:27. > :11:31.that job number one. Number two, both presidents will set out what is
:11:32. > :11:36.truly important for them and I think President Putin will want to argue
:11:37. > :11:40.for an end to sanctions on Ukraine. He will deny interfering in the
:11:41. > :11:43.elections, the American elections and I think President Putin will
:11:44. > :11:47.want to see if the United States can work with him in Syria where the
:11:48. > :11:51.Russians are trying with the Iranians and the Syrian government
:11:52. > :11:57.and Turkey to create safe havens and exclusive zones in Syria itself. I
:11:58. > :12:01.don't know how much of that President Trump can abide and I hope
:12:02. > :12:06.President Trump will take a tougher line on Ukraine and the hacking
:12:07. > :12:10.scandal but I'm not sure he will particularly on Russian interference
:12:11. > :12:16.in the elections. He is morale check on this issue, he seems to see it as
:12:17. > :12:21.an issue which delegitimise is his election, as an affront to himself.
:12:22. > :12:24.The implication that the Russians intervened to help Donald Trump
:12:25. > :12:27.defeat Hillary Clinton. I'm sorry to say I don't think we will see a
:12:28. > :12:32.tough President Trump tomorrow and that will be a major mistake. It
:12:33. > :12:37.will separate him from Republicans in Congress who watch a much darker
:12:38. > :12:41.line -- you want a much tougher line.
:12:42. > :12:46.You alluded to it, so many contradictions, at the beginning
:12:47. > :12:50.saying it could've been Russia and other countries and then at the end
:12:51. > :12:54.of it he said it probably was Russia and then he says President Obama do
:12:55. > :12:58.enough from August way through the new the Russians were involved but
:12:59. > :13:03.didn't do anything but he's not done anything since coming to power. So
:13:04. > :13:08.if you are the Russians watching this you must kind of wonder which
:13:09. > :13:12.Donald Trump you will meet tomorrow. Yes and I think you will meet one
:13:13. > :13:18.who wants to do some deals, he is a deal-maker. He will try to project
:13:19. > :13:21.strength, they may talk about some kind of negotiation over Syria,
:13:22. > :13:27.there is speculation today there may be some cooperation we could have on
:13:28. > :13:31.that no-fly zone, inside Syria. It's the atmospherics of the meeting
:13:32. > :13:34.which people here in Washington are going to be watching, if there is a
:13:35. > :13:39.photograph of the two of them standing together looking friendly
:13:40. > :13:45.it will go badly for President Trump because people will say there he is
:13:46. > :13:48.in the pocket of President Putin. I think the visuals will be very
:13:49. > :13:56.carefully planned and as we are being told by the Trump team it's
:13:57. > :14:00.not a meeting with a specific agenda so will be push them on
:14:01. > :14:04.interference? The odds are slightly stacked again
:14:05. > :14:10.then, you look at North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, there's not much he
:14:11. > :14:15.can come away with. Syria is the only area and even that
:14:16. > :14:18.I think you would find a lot of sceptics here in Washington
:14:19. > :14:22.wondering if they can trust anything Vladimir Putin says. It President
:14:23. > :14:25.Trump comes away with some sort of deal of cooperation on Syria the
:14:26. > :14:31.question immediately here in Washington is going to be do we
:14:32. > :14:34.trust Vladimir Putin to stick to that? How can we possibly believe
:14:35. > :14:39.anything the Russian leader is saying at the moment?
:14:40. > :14:41.One of the other key meetings president Trump will have tomorrow
:14:42. > :14:43.is the one with China's leader Xi Jinping.
:14:44. > :14:46.Washington is not at all happy at Beijing's response
:14:47. > :14:51.Yes he thinks they could do more on pressuring Pyongyang
:14:52. > :15:00."Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40%
:15:01. > :15:07.So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!"
:15:08. > :15:09.And at the United Nations this was the message his ambassador
:15:10. > :15:15.Nikki Haley delivered to anyone not standing with the US.
:15:16. > :15:22.They have not had any care for Russia or China in this. They have
:15:23. > :15:27.not listened to anything you have said. They are not going to listen
:15:28. > :15:31.to anything you say. So it's time we all stand together and say we will
:15:32. > :15:34.not put up with this action. To sit there and opposed sanctions or to
:15:35. > :15:35.sit there and go in defiance of a new resolution means you are holding
:15:36. > :15:42.the hands of them. For more on the tensions
:15:43. > :15:44.between Beijing and Washington at the moment we are joined now
:15:45. > :15:47.from New York by the BBC's Nada Tawfik who covered
:15:48. > :15:52.that UN session for us. Are you getting any indication of
:15:53. > :15:58.how Beijing is responding to the change of tone from the White House?
:15:59. > :16:02.Certainly Beijing is not changing their approach, they are completely
:16:03. > :16:05.against more sanctions on North Korea and the Trump administration
:16:06. > :16:08.is learning what past presidents has learned, there is a limit to how
:16:09. > :16:15.much China is willing to squeeze North Korea and risk instability on
:16:16. > :16:18.the doorstep. Beijing today in several statements called for the US
:16:19. > :16:22.to tone down their rhetoric. They said they have been relentlessly
:16:23. > :16:29.working to get the sanctions working against Pyongyang. In this warning
:16:30. > :16:33.the Chinese Vice Finance ministers said they would implement the
:16:34. > :16:38.relevant resolutions but the US should not use domestic laws as
:16:39. > :16:42.excuses to levy sanctions against Chinese financial institutions. Does
:16:43. > :16:47.not look like President Xi Jingping will succumb to the threats the US
:16:48. > :16:52.were using. We have spoken to a Japanese minister on the programme
:16:53. > :16:58.this week and two Michael Fallon about whether sanctions can work, it
:16:59. > :17:01.sanctions can work previous presidents, president Obama, George
:17:02. > :17:06.W. Bush, they would have imposed these sanctions, it's been under
:17:07. > :17:10.sanctions for 20 years so it's not making a difference. Absolutely and
:17:11. > :17:13.I think that's the sticking point. When you talk to anyone at the
:17:14. > :17:19.security Council, they all agree this is not changed the willingness
:17:20. > :17:23.to abandon the nuclear ambitions. The US believes if the sanctions are
:17:24. > :17:27.tight enough and that is where China comes in on implementing them,
:17:28. > :17:30.because that's always been the key issue, how those sanctions are
:17:31. > :17:35.implemented, then that could force North Korea to get to the
:17:36. > :17:40.negotiating table and abandon weapons. China think it's the exact
:17:41. > :17:43.opposite, they have never understood American logic. They say the more
:17:44. > :17:48.that Kim Jong-un feels under threat the more they will cling to his
:17:49. > :17:52.nuclear programme. This is what we are seeing in the UN Security
:17:53. > :17:56.Council, China going along with the United States and issuing
:17:57. > :18:05.resolutions but there is no of opinion. Thank you. I was just going
:18:06. > :18:08.to say strong words today from President Trump talking about North
:18:09. > :18:14.Korea, saying he has severe options on the table but would not say when
:18:15. > :18:17.or if they would be used. They are obviously still talking about the
:18:18. > :18:21.military option. Interesting to note there is a
:18:22. > :18:26.dinner between the Japanese, South Koreans and Americans in Hamburg but
:18:27. > :18:29.the Chinese are not invited. Interesting, we will talk more about
:18:30. > :18:32.the G20 in a second but let's turn to the UK.
:18:33. > :18:34.Tony Blair was "not straight with the British people"
:18:35. > :18:37.about his decisions in the run up to the Iraq War.
:18:38. > :18:39.That's the view of the man who chaired the long-running
:18:40. > :18:47.Speaking for the first time since publishing his report a year ago,
:18:48. > :18:49.Sir John Chilcot said the evidence Mr Blair gave the inquiry
:18:50. > :18:52.was "emotionally truthful" but that he relied on his beliefs
:18:53. > :18:57.He was speaking to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:18:58. > :19:00.Do you feel the politicians you dealt with were as straight
:19:01. > :19:15.And I have to name names because these were public sessions.
:19:16. > :19:18.Tony Blair is always and ever an advocate.
:19:19. > :19:21.He makes the most persuasive case he can.
:19:22. > :19:34.Do you believe that Tony Blair was as straight
:19:35. > :19:41.with you and the public as he ought to have been?
:19:42. > :19:46.Can I slightly reword that to say, I think any Prime Minister taking
:19:47. > :19:49.a country into war has got to be straight with the nation
:19:50. > :19:53.and carry it, so far as possible, with him or her.
:19:54. > :19:57.I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance.
:19:58. > :20:02.Do you feel he gave you the fullest version of events?
:20:03. > :20:09.I hesitate to say this, rather, but I think from his
:20:10. > :20:13.perspective and standpoint, it was emotionally truthful.
:20:14. > :20:16.I think that came out also in his press conference
:20:17. > :20:23.I think he was under very great emotional pressure
:20:24. > :20:27.during those sessions, far more than the committee were.
:20:28. > :20:37.In that state of mind and mood, you fall back on your instinctive
:20:38. > :20:45.But he was relying, you suggest, therefore on emotion, not fact?
:20:46. > :21:04.So interesting because for all the time I covered the invasion of Iraq
:21:05. > :21:08.and the aftermath of that, the difference between the attitude here

:33:37. > :33:40.elite, and President Putin, want peace and good relations with the
:33:41. > :33:44.USA. Let me remind you of the fact that Putin started his tenure as
:33:45. > :33:50.president in the early 2000 by helping the Americans to destroy the
:33:51. > :33:53.Taliban regime in Afghanistan. There were many other concessions that

:35:20. > :35:22.very surprising and pleasant for us as well. First of all, nobody
:35:23. > :35:28.expected that Donald Trump would be so well-prepared of Polish history,
:35:29. > :35:34.able to comment about Polish past, about Polish traditions about Polish
:35:35. > :35:38.habits, he was quoting from John Paul II, for instance, and we didn't
:35:39. > :35:43.expect that. It will be well remembered. It was one of the most
:35:44. > :35:44.inspiring and the most important speeches of American president in
:35:45. > :35:57.Poland. Those are strong words! Let me ask
:35:58. > :36:03.you about the Russia issue, this is a huge issue in Poland, about
:36:04. > :36:06.Russian expansionism. Trump criticised Russia about its meddling
:36:07. > :36:08.Joe Murphy meddling in other countries, do you think you will
:36:09. > :36:18.follow through on taking tougher action against Moscow? I hope so. He
:36:19. > :36:26.mentioned Russian aggression against the Ukraine, secondly, he reminded
:36:27. > :36:34.us about his commitment to article five of Nato. It looks like he's
:36:35. > :36:39.ready to help Poland if anything happens on our eastern border, if
:36:40. > :36:48.Russia became more aggressive even in 2014. I hope we can believe
:36:49. > :36:52.Donald Trump and we can think about him as a true ally of Poland. Thanks
:36:53. > :36:57.for joining us. Lately Donald Trump has been
:36:58. > :36:59.taking a lot of credit Today in Poland he boasted
:37:00. > :37:04.the markets had put on almost $4 trillion dollars
:37:05. > :37:05.since he took office. And earlier in the week
:37:06. > :37:16.he boasted... The June jobs report
:37:17. > :37:18.comes out tomorrow. Lets speak to Jeanne Cummings,
:37:19. > :37:30.political editor for Thanks for joining us. He's talk
:37:31. > :37:38.about growth, he wanted at 4%. Of all the indications are that it is
:37:39. > :37:44.is under what it was under Obama. Can he do more? They are certainly
:37:45. > :37:48.bank banking on a major tax bill creating more growth. Our growth is
:37:49. > :37:52.at 2%, it has been there for a long time. In general, presidents take
:37:53. > :37:56.more credit for the economy than they should and they often get
:37:57. > :38:01.blamed more than they should. Because their influence on the
:38:02. > :38:06.economic growth is not that great. What this particular White House
:38:07. > :38:10.believes is if they can get the tax package through, combined with lower
:38:11. > :38:14.regulations, that will create some fluidity that will lead to faster
:38:15. > :38:17.growth. That all depends on politics, at the moment he hasn't
:38:18. > :38:21.been able to do anything in big terms of legislation, can he do it?
:38:22. > :38:29.We don't know, we really don't know if the Camelot. We also don't know,
:38:30. > :38:33.we don't believe the market has factored in a fairly on the tax
:38:34. > :38:36.bill, that is a big risk to him. If they don't get the tax bill through,
:38:37. > :38:43.it could affect the economy in a big way. Do we attach too much
:38:44. > :38:49.significance in general to how a president can shift sides? Do we
:38:50. > :38:54.blame him too much when there is an upswing or if it doesn't uptick
:38:55. > :38:58.enough? I would say that is absolutely true. With the economy,
:38:59. > :39:04.it is a global economy. There are some tweaks may be that the White
:39:05. > :39:07.House can do that 40 of certain industries more confidence, for
:39:08. > :39:13.instance. Some of the regulations that he has removed, they haven't
:39:14. > :39:18.taken effect, because it is the very last thing is that President Obama
:39:19. > :39:22.taking place. -- put in place. But those companies can look forward to
:39:23. > :39:26.planning the future with confidence the regulations are not the way. We
:39:27. > :39:29.have talked about China in the context of North Korea but there is
:39:30. > :39:33.a booming trade story about China and one of the stories about Trump
:39:34. > :39:36.when he came into office was that he will be protectionist and imposed
:39:37. > :39:42.Harris. He hasn't done so far. If he's about to, what impact does that
:39:43. > :39:45.have on the US and world economies? That is one of the biggest questions
:39:46. > :39:52.about the administration. Will he get us into a trade war with Mexico,
:39:53. > :39:57.China or wherever? I'm hearing more mutterings that about that this week
:39:58. > :40:03.than I have been. You interviewed people from the G20, they are also
:40:04. > :40:13.concerned about his position on trade and the America First psyche
:40:14. > :40:16.that is driving him. An interesting time for the US and global economy.
:40:17. > :40:18.We are seeing that play out in Hamburg at the moment.
:40:19. > :40:21.With any large gathering of World leaders one thing is certain -

:40:27. > :40:29.Police have set up a security corden to prevent the protestors
:40:30. > :40:34.The main day of meetings is tomorrow, but we've been watching
:40:35. > :40:46.Some of the more peaceful ones, as well. This is the live shot this
:40:47. > :40:49.evening. There were 12,000 people for the demonstration the night and
:40:50. > :40:53.apparently that demonstration has now been cancelled, the March house,
:40:54. > :41:00.because of some of the scenes we are seeing right now was a lot of gas
:41:01. > :41:04.and water cannons being fired. I want to show you a more peaceful one
:41:05. > :41:07.that we were looking at today. It's quite creative, this one.
:41:08. > :41:10.Here we have 1,000 grey zombies who are walking the town.
:41:11. > :41:13.Can we bring up the sound for a second?
:41:14. > :41:18.The group of undead said their goal was to motivate other people to get
:41:19. > :41:22.You will see that as they walk through the streets suddenly
:41:23. > :41:25.they come to life , and then the zombies free themselves
:41:26. > :41:37.Quite effective that, isn't it? The end here looks more like my teenage
:41:38. > :41:45.kids going to a music festival in Europe. But the point of it, you're
:41:46. > :41:49.right, this is a more creative protest the many, the point is the
:41:50. > :41:53.same. People have been dehumanised by the global economy and inequality
:41:54. > :41:58.has produced the winners and losers and that is what they are in Hamburg
:41:59. > :42:05.four. I can't quite understand why pictures of Barack Obama make you
:42:06. > :42:11.uncomfortable but zombies don't? At the end of 100 Days Plus, I walk out
:42:12. > :42:18.of Broadcasting House and the colour comes back. It's a pretty similar
:42:19. > :42:24.experience. Slightly Orwellian. On a serious note, we are not on air
:42:25. > :42:28.tomorrow, but it's a dramatic day with some pretty dramatic things
:42:29. > :42:32.that could unfold? I think the meeting with Vladimir Putin is
:42:33. > :42:38.something everyone will be watching. Some critical things including North
:42:39. > :42:42.Korea. We are at a moment where the world might face this crisis, this
:42:43. > :42:46.test of this president. And what he can figure out with China will be
:42:47. > :42:50.essential. This is have veered from being so close to China and trusting
:42:51. > :42:56.China to fix this to almost swimming in the opposite direction, I'm not
:42:57. > :43:02.sure how helpful that about turn is on China either. A big day not just
:43:03. > :43:05.for American politics but global affairs in Hamburg. We will have it
:43:06. > :43:09.all on the BBC. Goodbye for now.
