parent said no. We know that you are parent said no. We know that you are

:00:00.:00:00.

no stranger to a campaign. -- so my parents said no.

:00:07.:00:07.

Last time you were on the show you were petitioning the Welsh

:00:08.:00:10.

government to help homeless teenagers in Wales -

:00:11.:00:12.

and as a result the Welsh Government is now issuing new instructions

:00:13.:00:15.

to councils making it clear it does not want 16 and 17

:00:16.:00:18.

And Michael's been back to Wales to help the homeless again -

:00:19.:00:22.

Donald Trumps on display in Europe - one, carefully scripted,

:00:23.:00:27.

The other is the off the cuff President,

:00:28.:00:30.

who slams fake news, criticises his predecessor

:00:31.:00:32.

and undermines the US intelligence agencies.

:00:33.:00:34.

In Poland crowds gave him a friendly welcome -

:00:35.:00:36.

he gave them a speech about the end of western civilisation.

:00:37.:00:38.

The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has

:00:39.:00:41.

Tomorrow he has his first ever meeting with Vladimir Putin -

:00:42.:00:45.

Mr Trump is calling on Russia to stop interfering in Ukraine,

:00:46.:00:47.

will he also tell Russia not to interfere in US elections?

:00:48.:00:55.

The threat of North Korea's nuclear advance weighs over the G20 summit

:00:56.:00:57.

as does the growing rift between China and the US

:00:58.:01:00.

Also: The man who led the British inquiry

:01:01.:01:05.

Sir John Chilcot tells the BBC the former Prime Minister Tony Blair

:01:06.:01:10.

was emotionally involved in the argument and relied more

:01:11.:01:13.

And: It's a beach day for the leaders of Israel and India.

:01:14.:01:20.

We'll tell you why they are hitting the waves.

:01:21.:01:37.

I am Katty Kay in Washington, Christian

:01:38.:01:39.

There is a monument in Krazinksi Square in Warsaw that commemorates

:01:40.:01:44.

the Polish uprising of 1944, which liberated the city

:01:45.:01:46.

Today Donald Trump stood in front of that monument

:01:47.:01:55.

to evoke a new struggle - the battle for western civilisation.

:01:56.:01:58.

And it that moment the American President committed himself

:01:59.:02:01.

The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to

:02:02.:02:15.

survive, do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any

:02:16.:02:21.

cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders?

:02:22.:02:24.

Mr Trump also clearly called on Russia to stop its "destabilizing

:02:25.:02:26.

activities" including its support for "hostile regimes"

:02:27.:02:28.

He confirmed that Poland, Russia's neighbour, will be supplied

:02:29.:02:33.

with the Patriot missile defense system AND standing on European

:02:34.:02:37.

soil, he committed the United States to Nato's Article 5,

:02:38.:02:39.

The United States has demonstrated not merely with words but with its

:02:40.:02:57.

actions that we stand firmly behind Article five, the mutual defence

:02:58.:03:01.

commitment. CHEERING APPLAUSE

:03:02.:03:06.

Words are easy but actions are what matters and for its own protection

:03:07.:03:11.

and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this,

:03:12.:03:12.

Europe must do more. By some margin this was the most pro

:03:13.:03:16.

European speech we have had yet And his commitment to Nato

:03:17.:03:19.

is particular has been welcomed A short while ago President

:03:20.:03:23.

Trump started a meeting She has made it clear she wants

:03:24.:03:27.

to focus on issues, on which Mr Trump has parted ways with much

:03:28.:03:34.

of the European Union, climate The BBC's Ros Atkins

:03:35.:03:37.

is there for us. He's been basking in the acclaim in

:03:38.:03:52.

Poland today but it might be a different picture in Hamburg, what

:03:53.:03:56.

do we know of this bilateral meeting between the president and the

:03:57.:04:03.

Chancellor this evening? You're quite right, Donald Trump is not

:04:04.:04:06.

even scheduled any public speeches here in Hamburg, the US authorities

:04:07.:04:12.

now it would be too complicated so it's bilateral meetings, group

:04:13.:04:15.

meetings behind closed doors which will take place at the summit. We

:04:16.:04:19.

know of the bilateral meeting between Angela Merkel and Donald

:04:20.:04:23.

Trump, Donald Trump arrived about 90 minutes ago and as you have been

:04:24.:04:29.

stating on key issues such as immigration, trade, security and

:04:30.:04:32.

climate change these are not two leaders who see eye to eye. Angela

:04:33.:04:37.

Merkel has put aside her normal diplomatic language and said in the

:04:38.:04:40.

past few months that we can no longer rely on America. When you add

:04:41.:04:44.

that into the back to Donald Trump is not a man who favours taking

:04:45.:04:48.

steps backwards it's hard to see how they will bash on common ground

:04:49.:04:51.

which will have a meaningful impact on policy. I think we'll get a

:04:52.:04:58.

better picture of how Germany and America proceed into the future in

:04:59.:05:05.

parallel rather than together. It's looking positively beach like you

:05:06.:05:09.

are but we are hearing reports there are protests in the city, how is it?

:05:10.:05:17.

Well it's definitely tense. I look like I'm on the beach because I am

:05:18.:05:21.

at the beach bar overlooking the port of Hamburg, one of the biggest

:05:22.:05:25.

in Europe. This bar would normally be teaming on a summers evening but

:05:26.:05:29.

it's very quiet because of what's happening in the centre of time. As

:05:30.:05:35.

I talk to you, echoing across main rubber is the sound of CES canisters

:05:36.:05:40.

being fired. We also know water cannon has been used. It was

:05:41.:05:44.

interesting hearing from the police earlier predicting there would be

:05:45.:05:49.

violence. Talking to protest as they said the police would try to provoke

:05:50.:05:53.

violence. Both sides have their own narrative but there was an

:05:54.:05:57.

inevitability about this protest turning violent and judging by the

:05:58.:06:00.

sounds we are now hearing in the background across the centre of

:06:01.:06:06.

Hamburg that what's happening. They said 20,000 police have been drafted

:06:07.:06:10.

into Hamburg today, all eyes are going to be on this meeting tomorrow

:06:11.:06:15.

between President Trump and President Putin, what are people

:06:16.:06:17.

saying about that particular meeting? Well it's interesting, and

:06:18.:06:26.

event of this scale further are so many fascinating dynamics so many

:06:27.:06:30.

different meetings, Donald Trump and Theresa May for instance that would

:06:31.:06:33.

normally dominate our attention but your right to highlight Vladimir

:06:34.:06:37.

Putin and Donald Trump meeting for the first time. We think they may

:06:38.:06:41.

encounter each other twice, a family photo in the morning were all the

:06:42.:06:45.

leaders get a group photo and they will both be in that so there is a

:06:46.:06:48.

chance they might bump into one another but in the afternoon we have

:06:49.:06:52.

a scheduled bilateral conversation. I think a couple things of note, the

:06:53.:06:56.

speech in Warsaw you mentioned, Donald Trump said Russia needs to

:06:57.:07:03.

stop destabilising the Ukraine but what he did not mention was

:07:04.:07:08.

allegations Russia also try to destabilise the United States. The

:07:09.:07:12.

big question as it always is with diplomatic conversation is what

:07:13.:07:15.

subjects will come up and we have to wait and see which subjects the men

:07:16.:07:20.

choose to broach. For the moment, thank you very much.

:07:21.:07:29.

Here in Washington the President's Warsaw speech was generally well

:07:30.:07:31.

received but not so, his appearance at an earlier

:07:32.:07:35.

In his unscripted comments, there was more criticism

:07:36.:07:40.

of President Obama, another attack on the fake media AND when it comes

:07:41.:07:43.

to Russia and its inteference in the 2016 election -

:07:44.:07:45.

there are always mixed messages from this President.

:07:46.:07:52.

Will you once and for all year saw no definitively say Russia

:07:53.:07:59.

interfered in the 2016 election? Well I think it was Russia and it

:08:00.:08:03.

could've been other people in other countries, could have been a lot of

:08:04.:08:07.

people interfered, I said it very simply, I think it could have been

:08:08.:08:10.

Russia but I think it could well have been other countries and I want

:08:11.:08:17.

be specific. I think a lot of people interfered and it's been happening

:08:18.:08:18.

for a long time. One of the fiercest critics

:08:19.:08:19.

of the Trump administration's handling of Russian meddling has

:08:20.:08:21.

been Nicholas Burns, I spoke to him a brief time

:08:22.:08:23.

ago in Rhode Island. Clarify something for me, his

:08:24.:08:40.

position on Russia? We heard today a full throated rejection of Russian

:08:41.:08:44.

interference in Ukraine, he criticised Russia for destabilising

:08:45.:08:49.

areas of the world and then moments beforehand in a press conference he

:08:50.:08:54.

seemed to reject the idea Russia had been responsible for hacking into

:08:55.:09:00.

the American election, where does he stand? We saute different Trump's,

:09:01.:09:07.

we saw the scripted speech which was tougher on Russia, the destabilising

:09:08.:09:13.

actions in eastern Ukraine. Then we saw President Trump at the press

:09:14.:09:18.

conference where he was critical of the press, where he went very soft

:09:19.:09:23.

on President Putin on the issue of Russia launching a cyber attack on

:09:24.:09:28.

the US elections, saying not completely sure which country

:09:29.:09:31.

attacked the United States. Your guess is as good as mine as to which

:09:32.:09:37.

we will see tomorrow but it's very important he meet two tests, will

:09:38.:09:41.

the United States continued to sanction Russia over Ukraine? I hope

:09:42.:09:46.

we will. And we'll President Trump agree with the US Senate which

:09:47.:09:51.

ported 97-2 to impose tough new sanctions on Russia over attacking?

:09:52.:09:56.

Those are critical bars for tomorrow's meeting with President

:09:57.:10:02.

Putin. We heard him defend article five of the Nato treaty, you were

:10:03.:10:07.

ambassador to Nato or the United States, do you think your former

:10:08.:10:10.

Nato colleagues will be fully reassured by that? I think you have

:10:11.:10:17.

to give credit where it's due, it was the first time we had heard a

:10:18.:10:22.

complete reaffirmation of the article five commitment, an attack

:10:23.:10:25.

on one is an attack on all. That was positive but he spent more time in

:10:26.:10:29.

the speech criticising the Nato alliance than he did praising it.

:10:30.:10:34.

There were veiled criticisms as I understood them of the European

:10:35.:10:38.

Union, Steve Bannon like language decrying the power of government. I

:10:39.:10:44.

thought the speech played well among the far right in Eastern Europe and

:10:45.:10:52.

Poland but I think it was not a speech for Western Europe where he

:10:53.:10:56.

is right now. He meets Vladimir Putin for the first time tomorrow,

:10:57.:11:02.

what would you I was going to ask what you would want to say, but what

:11:03.:11:08.

do you think he will say? I think the first order of business is to

:11:09.:11:12.

get to know each other and establish effective communications. We are two

:11:13.:11:18.

powerful countries, there will be crises and misunderstandings ahead,

:11:19.:11:21.

so you want to have a relationship where you can clearly communicate,

:11:22.:11:26.

that job number one. Number two, both presidents will set out what is

:11:27.:11:31.

truly important for them and I think President Putin will want to argue

:11:32.:11:36.

for an end to sanctions on Ukraine. He will deny interfering in the

:11:37.:11:40.

elections, the American elections and I think President Putin will

:11:41.:11:43.

want to see if the United States can work with him in Syria where the

:11:44.:11:47.

Russians are trying with the Iranians and the Syrian government

:11:48.:11:51.

and Turkey to create safe havens and exclusive zones in Syria itself. I

:11:52.:11:57.

don't know how much of that President Trump can abide and I hope

:11:58.:12:01.

President Trump will take a tougher line on Ukraine and the hacking

:12:02.:12:06.

scandal but I'm not sure he will particularly on Russian interference

:12:07.:12:10.

in the elections. He is morale check on this issue, he seems to see it as

:12:11.:12:16.

an issue which delegitimise is his election, as an affront to himself.

:12:17.:12:21.

The implication that the Russians intervened to help Donald Trump

:12:22.:12:24.

defeat Hillary Clinton. I'm sorry to say I don't think we will see a

:12:25.:12:27.

tough President Trump tomorrow and that will be a major mistake. It

:12:28.:12:32.

will separate him from Republicans in Congress who watch a much darker

:12:33.:12:37.

line -- you want a much tougher line.

:12:38.:12:41.

You alluded to it, so many contradictions, at the beginning

:12:42.:12:46.

saying it could've been Russia and other countries and then at the end

:12:47.:12:50.

of it he said it probably was Russia and then he says President Obama do

:12:51.:12:54.

enough from August way through the new the Russians were involved but

:12:55.:12:58.

didn't do anything but he's not done anything since coming to power. So

:12:59.:13:03.

if you are the Russians watching this you must kind of wonder which

:13:04.:13:08.

Donald Trump you will meet tomorrow. Yes and I think you will meet one

:13:09.:13:12.

who wants to do some deals, he is a deal-maker. He will try to project

:13:13.:13:18.

strength, they may talk about some kind of negotiation over Syria,

:13:19.:13:21.

there is speculation today there may be some cooperation we could have on

:13:22.:13:27.

that no-fly zone, inside Syria. It's the atmospherics of the meeting

:13:28.:13:31.

which people here in Washington are going to be watching, if there is a

:13:32.:13:34.

photograph of the two of them standing together looking friendly

:13:35.:13:39.

it will go badly for President Trump because people will say there he is

:13:40.:13:45.

in the pocket of President Putin. I think the visuals will be very

:13:46.:13:48.

carefully planned and as we are being told by the Trump team it's

:13:49.:13:56.

not a meeting with a specific agenda so will be push them on

:13:57.:14:00.

interference? The odds are slightly stacked again

:14:01.:14:04.

then, you look at North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, there's not much he

:14:05.:14:10.

can come away with. Syria is the only area and even that

:14:11.:14:15.

I think you would find a lot of sceptics here in Washington

:14:16.:14:18.

wondering if they can trust anything Vladimir Putin says. It President

:14:19.:14:22.

Trump comes away with some sort of deal of cooperation on Syria the

:14:23.:14:25.

question immediately here in Washington is going to be do we

:14:26.:14:31.

trust Vladimir Putin to stick to that? How can we possibly believe

:14:32.:14:34.

anything the Russian leader is saying at the moment?

:14:35.:14:39.

One of the other key meetings president Trump will have tomorrow

:14:40.:14:41.

is the one with China's leader Xi Jinping.

:14:42.:14:43.

Washington is not at all happy at Beijing's response

:14:44.:14:46.

Yes he thinks they could do more on pressuring Pyongyang

:14:47.:14:51.

"Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40%

:14:52.:15:00.

So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!"

:15:01.:15:07.

And at the United Nations this was the message his ambassador

:15:08.:15:09.

Nikki Haley delivered to anyone not standing with the US.

:15:10.:15:15.

They have not had any care for Russia or China in this. They have

:15:16.:15:22.

not listened to anything you have said. They are not going to listen

:15:23.:15:27.

to anything you say. So it's time we all stand together and say we will

:15:28.:15:31.

not put up with this action. To sit there and opposed sanctions or to

:15:32.:15:34.

sit there and go in defiance of a new resolution means you are holding

:15:35.:15:35.

the hands of them. For more on the tensions

:15:36.:15:42.

between Beijing and Washington at the moment we are joined now

:15:43.:15:44.

from New York by the BBC's Nada Tawfik who covered

:15:45.:15:47.

that UN session for us. Are you getting any indication of

:15:48.:15:52.

how Beijing is responding to the change of tone from the White House?

:15:53.:15:58.

Certainly Beijing is not changing their approach, they are completely

:15:59.:16:02.

against more sanctions on North Korea and the Trump administration

:16:03.:16:05.

is learning what past presidents has learned, there is a limit to how

:16:06.:16:08.

much China is willing to squeeze North Korea and risk instability on

:16:09.:16:15.

the doorstep. Beijing today in several statements called for the US

:16:16.:16:18.

to tone down their rhetoric. They said they have been relentlessly

:16:19.:16:22.

working to get the sanctions working against Pyongyang. In this warning

:16:23.:16:29.

the Chinese Vice Finance ministers said they would implement the

:16:30.:16:33.

relevant resolutions but the US should not use domestic laws as

:16:34.:16:38.

excuses to levy sanctions against Chinese financial institutions. Does

:16:39.:16:42.

not look like President Xi Jingping will succumb to the threats the US

:16:43.:16:47.

were using. We have spoken to a Japanese minister on the programme

:16:48.:16:52.

this week and two Michael Fallon about whether sanctions can work, it

:16:53.:16:58.

sanctions can work previous presidents, president Obama, George

:16:59.:17:01.

W. Bush, they would have imposed these sanctions, it's been under

:17:02.:17:06.

sanctions for 20 years so it's not making a difference. Absolutely and

:17:07.:17:10.

I think that's the sticking point. When you talk to anyone at the

:17:11.:17:13.

security Council, they all agree this is not changed the willingness

:17:14.:17:19.

to abandon the nuclear ambitions. The US believes if the sanctions are

:17:20.:17:23.

tight enough and that is where China comes in on implementing them,

:17:24.:17:27.

because that's always been the key issue, how those sanctions are

:17:28.:17:30.

implemented, then that could force North Korea to get to the

:17:31.:17:35.

negotiating table and abandon weapons. China think it's the exact

:17:36.:17:40.

opposite, they have never understood American logic. They say the more

:17:41.:17:43.

that Kim Jong-un feels under threat the more they will cling to his

:17:44.:17:48.

nuclear programme. This is what we are seeing in the UN Security

:17:49.:17:52.

Council, China going along with the United States and issuing

:17:53.:17:56.

resolutions but there is no of opinion. Thank you. I was just going

:17:57.:18:05.

to say strong words today from President Trump talking about North

:18:06.:18:08.

Korea, saying he has severe options on the table but would not say when

:18:09.:18:14.

or if they would be used. They are obviously still talking about the

:18:15.:18:17.

military option. Interesting to note there is a

:18:18.:18:21.

dinner between the Japanese, South Koreans and Americans in Hamburg but

:18:22.:18:26.

the Chinese are not invited. Interesting, we will talk more about

:18:27.:18:29.

the G20 in a second but let's turn to the UK.

:18:30.:18:32.

Tony Blair was "not straight with the British people"

:18:33.:18:34.

about his decisions in the run up to the Iraq War.

:18:35.:18:37.

That's the view of the man who chaired the long-running

:18:38.:18:39.

Speaking for the first time since publishing his report a year ago,

:18:40.:18:47.

Sir John Chilcot said the evidence Mr Blair gave the inquiry

:18:48.:18:49.

was "emotionally truthful" but that he relied on his beliefs

:18:50.:18:52.

He was speaking to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.

:18:53.:18:57.

Do you feel the politicians you dealt with were as straight

:18:58.:19:00.

And I have to name names because these were public sessions.

:19:01.:19:15.

Tony Blair is always and ever an advocate.

:19:16.:19:18.

He makes the most persuasive case he can.

:19:19.:19:21.

Do you believe that Tony Blair was as straight

:19:22.:19:34.

with you and the public as he ought to have been?

:19:35.:19:41.

Can I slightly reword that to say, I think any Prime Minister taking

:19:42.:19:46.

a country into war has got to be straight with the nation

:19:47.:19:49.

and carry it, so far as possible, with him or her.

:19:50.:19:53.

I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance.

:19:54.:19:57.

Do you feel he gave you the fullest version of events?

:19:58.:20:02.

I hesitate to say this, rather, but I think from his

:20:03.:20:09.

perspective and standpoint, it was emotionally truthful.

:20:10.:20:13.

I think that came out also in his press conference

:20:14.:20:16.

I think he was under very great emotional pressure

:20:17.:20:23.

during those sessions, far more than the committee were.

:20:24.:20:27.

In that state of mind and mood, you fall back on your instinctive

:20:28.:20:37.

But he was relying, you suggest, therefore on emotion, not fact?

:20:38.:20:45.

So interesting because for all the time I covered the invasion of Iraq

:20:46.:21:04.

and the aftermath of that, the difference between the attitude here

:21:05.:21:08.

in America and the attitude in Britain was so clear, we did not

:21:09.:21:13.

have hear those enormous street protests, not a groundswell of

:21:14.:21:17.

opinion against President Bush for taking America into Iraq. It's

:21:18.:21:21.

something which has dogged British politics since then and was people

:21:22.:21:24.

here question why we went in there's not been this hand-wringing and

:21:25.:21:30.

soul-searching which could lead to in the UK.

:21:31.:21:37.

No, and I think the Chilcot enquiry extended that, it went on for so

:21:38.:21:43.

long that it extended the process and it's become a reference point,

:21:44.:21:47.

the questions we have about British foreign policy and also official

:21:48.:21:51.

expertise. Do you remember George Osborne putting forward this

:21:52.:21:55.

document on how Brexit would affect the British economy and everyone

:21:56.:21:59.

dismissed it as a dodgy dossier and it's become a generational thing

:22:00.:22:03.

within both parties. The angle about Tony Blair and new Labour in some

:22:04.:22:07.

ways propelling Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party and

:22:08.:22:11.

on the opposite benches where as you have had a president in President

:22:12.:22:14.

Obama who voted against the Iraq war we have had three Prime Minister's,

:22:15.:22:20.

Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May who voted for the Iraq

:22:21.:22:25.

war. We've never moved on from it and I think really the question you

:22:26.:22:28.

come to at the end and I think this is the important question going

:22:29.:22:33.

forward, it is the overarching thing, how does Britain pursue its

:22:34.:22:36.

own strategic interests going forward without and you difference

:22:37.:22:45.

to the United States? How do we maximise our presence, we felt we

:22:46.:22:50.

were duped and in some way the lapdog of the United States.

:22:51.:22:54.

Donald Trump mentioning it again today.

:22:55.:23:01.

Yeah, talking about Russian interference, was in Russia

:23:02.:23:05.

interfered but we remember the dodgy dossier, you'll said there were

:23:06.:23:06.

weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Leaders of Japan and

:23:07.:23:09.

the European Union have hailed an agreement in principle on a major

:23:10.:23:12.

free trade deal. Once the details are finalised,

:23:13.:23:14.

the deal is expected to liberalise European leaders said the pact

:23:15.:23:17.

showed that the world did not have to move towards isolationism

:23:18.:23:21.

and that it was a statement on the A newly discovered photograph

:23:22.:23:24.

from the 1930s has added to the mystery of US pilot

:23:25.:23:29.

Amelia Earhart. This grainy black and white

:23:30.:23:34.

photograph was found Experts examining it say the woman

:23:35.:23:36.

seated with her back to the camera is Amelia Earhart and another figure

:23:37.:23:40.

on the far left is Fred Noonan - her navigator on that

:23:41.:23:46.

last flight in 1937. It adds to a theory that

:23:47.:23:50.

Ms Earhart was taken prisoner by the Japanese in the then

:23:51.:23:52.

Japanese Marshall Islands. This is one of those who done it

:23:53.:24:03.

kind of mysteries which has resonance for people who grew up on

:24:04.:24:07.

this heroine of adventure, the first woman to fly around the world and

:24:08.:24:11.

then what happened? I would love to have the technology to examine that

:24:12.:24:12.

photograph properly. Earlier this week Christian,

:24:13.:24:15.

we were having a bit of fun with those pictures

:24:16.:24:17.

of Chris Christie relaxing on the empty beach, he had

:24:18.:24:19.

closed to the public - well today I have got another

:24:20.:24:22.

beach photo for you. This is from the Twitter account

:24:23.:24:27.

of the Israeli Prime Minister, "There's nothing like going

:24:28.:24:29.

to the beach with friends!" Standing alongside the Indian Prime

:24:30.:24:35.

Minister Nahrendra Modi who has been Who goes to the beach in trousers?

:24:36.:24:52.

It must be so uncomfortable. Then they go back to their meetings.

:24:53.:24:56.

Apparently there were politics behind this.

:24:57.:24:58.

Apparently they were in discussion about clean water -

:24:59.:25:00.

the Israeli's are selling the Indians some of their

:25:01.:25:03.

It got us thinking about other presidents who have been to the

:25:04.:25:10.

beach so we pulled out some historic pictures, this is Richard Nixon in

:25:11.:25:14.

California. This was taken in his 1972

:25:15.:25:19.

pre-election campaign to make him look more casual if you can believe

:25:20.:25:24.

it. But apparently he insisted on wearing his dress shoes. Don't go on

:25:25.:25:29.

a beach in your dress shoes, it's worse than rolling up your trousers

:25:30.:25:34.

and going into the ocean. I am more uncomfortable about this,

:25:35.:25:41.

he is 55, President Obama. LAUGHTER It feels awkward.

:25:42.:25:45.

You're watching 100 Days Plus from BBC News.

:25:46.:25:47.

Still to come - We'll hear why Donald Trump made Poland his first

:25:48.:25:50.

stop on this trip and what that means relations in Europe.

:25:51.:25:52.

And with Donald Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin on Friday -

:25:53.:25:55.

we'll talk to a Russian journalist about how it's reported in Moscow.

:25:56.:25:58.

That's still to come on 100 Days Plus, from BBC News.

:25:59.:26:09.

The day has brought quite a variety of weather, 32 degrees at Heathrow,

:26:10.:26:18.

the wise woman had the sense to be indoors as the thunderstorm rolled

:26:19.:26:21.

over the top of Norwich but a way to the West Leicestershire glorious

:26:22.:26:27.

guys, a glorious picture sent in from a weather watcher. Those

:26:28.:26:30.

conditions matched widely across the southern half of Britain but that's

:26:31.:26:34.

not the end of variety, further north weather front line in crowd

:26:35.:26:41.

and rain. The last of the days 's thunderstorms gradually rolling into

:26:42.:26:44.

the North Sea on what's going to be another sticky night especially

:26:45.:26:48.

across central and southern parts, temperatures not much lower than 13

:26:49.:26:51.

or 15 even into the Scottish Borders. How do we start ready?

:26:52.:26:57.

Fairly cloudy through a good part of the South West, western facing hills

:26:58.:27:00.

and shores of Wales, further east to glorious start the day, but a breeze

:27:01.:27:04.

coming in from the north-west but captures even at this stage about

:27:05.:27:12.

17, 18, 19 degrees. As we just that bit further north of frontal system

:27:13.:27:22.

will have brought cloud and rain. Friday a fairly quiet day certainly

:27:23.:27:27.

by comparison for some of you to Thursday, cloud filling in all the

:27:28.:27:30.

while across the heart of England, but it does not stop the

:27:31.:27:34.

temperatures climbing across the South East to about 25-27. All

:27:35.:27:42.

through the evening cloud filling in all the more as the frontal system

:27:43.:27:46.

makes its presence felt, it trails its way ever further towards the

:27:47.:27:52.

East to bring that figure band of cloud which were some at the start

:27:53.:27:56.

of Saturday will bring disappointing fair for July. We'll have some bits

:27:57.:28:02.

and pieces of rain and even as that fades through the day it will leave

:28:03.:28:05.

a legacy of cloud, best of the brightness either to the south or in

:28:06.:28:09.

places on the eastern side of Scotland where you will get a bit of

:28:10.:28:13.

brightness. Saturday on into Sunday and new set of weather front

:28:14.:28:17.

beginning to hover close by to the north-western corner of Scotland and

:28:18.:28:21.

a chance we may import some of these thunderstorms from the near

:28:22.:28:25.

continent into the southern parts of Britain. Somewhat drier conditions

:28:26.:28:26.

in between. President Trump has suggested

:28:27.:30:08.

that the future of Western civilisation is under threat

:30:09.:30:17.

from terrorism and bureaucracy, and he urged Russia

:30:18.:30:19.

to stop causing instability. Arriving at G20 meetings in Germany

:30:20.:30:23.

- the president will meet face-to-face with eight other world

:30:24.:30:26.

leaders on the sidelines. What will the Russians make

:30:27.:30:44.

up-to-date's Spieth in Poland? There were moments today

:30:45.:30:54.

when the President took an unusually Will he be as bold tomorrow

:30:55.:30:56.

when he meets with Vladimir Putin Will he be as bold tomorrow

:30:57.:31:01.

when he meets with Vladimir Putin Yes and crucially, will he raise

:31:02.:31:09.

that issue of Russian meddling So often, President Trump

:31:10.:31:13.

fights shy of criticising But on the issue of Syria and North

:31:14.:31:16.

Korea there are frustrations. Today, the West is also confronted

:31:17.:31:20.

by the powers that seek to test our will, undermine our confidence

:31:21.:31:23.

and challenge our interests. To meet new forms of

:31:24.:31:25.

aggression, including propaganda, financial crime

:31:26.:31:27.

and cyber warfare, we must adapt our reliance to compete effectively

:31:28.:31:29.

in new ways and on all new We urge Russia to seize

:31:30.:31:32.

its destabilising activities in Ukraine and elsewhere and support

:31:33.:31:41.

for hostile regimes, including Syria and Iran, and instead

:31:42.:31:43.

Sputnik International. What will they make in Moscow of

what President Trump said about Russian meddling in the Ukraine

:32:05.:32:09.

adults were, and Howard has to stop? There is, of course, a general

:32:10.:32:12.

feeling of disappointment in Russia. Because Mr Trump had a chance to add

:32:13.:32:23.

need beginning. If only he had met President Putin met earlier, when he

:32:24.:32:27.

was inaugurated, there was a possibility for a new beginning but

:32:28.:32:33.

now, obviously, Trump has squandered his chances. He bowed to the

:32:34.:32:36.

pressure of the American establishment, of the European Union

:32:37.:32:42.

which Trump called a threat to European security just a few months

:32:43.:32:47.

ago at the summit in Malta. Now, Poland is the last country where he

:32:48.:32:52.

needs to go if you want to have a new beginning with Russia. So

:32:53.:32:56.

basically, Trump, by coming to Poland with all of its historic

:32:57.:33:02.

antagonisms with Russia, by making that speech, he is disappointing his

:33:03.:33:06.

own supporters, he is betraying the hopes that were associated with him.

:33:07.:33:12.

President Putin's spokesman said today that we still have no

:33:13.:33:16.

understanding of what Washington wants in this meeting. She's pretty

:33:17.:33:21.

astute, he knows full well this is a meeting in Russia needs just as

:33:22.:33:27.

badly as Washington? Obviously, I think he is sincere. The Russian

:33:28.:33:36.

elite, and President Putin, want peace and good relations with the

:33:37.:33:40.

USA. Let me remind you of the fact that Putin started his tenure as

:33:41.:33:44.

president in the early 2000 by helping the Americans to destroy the

:33:45.:33:50.

Taliban regime in Afghanistan. There were many other concessions that

:33:51.:33:53.

President Putin made in his -- to Europe. If you look at the origins,

:33:54.:34:00.

these were western initiative. It was the West that wanted to change

:34:01.:34:04.

and to improve the government in Ukraine, headed by and

:34:05.:34:12.

and to improve the government in Ukraine, headed by a legally elected

:34:13.:34:16.

president. There was changes in government in Syria, Russia only

:34:17.:34:22.

reacted. So it straight for to hear Trump asking Russia not to

:34:23.:34:24.

destabilise. The United States of the stabilised a lot more. Thanks

:34:25.:34:33.

for joining us. The view there from Sputnik International, or as close

:34:34.:34:37.

as you can get to the gremlin probably.

:34:38.:34:51.

President Trump's first stop in Europe, was Warsaw -

:34:52.:34:53.

An endorsement - implicit or otherwise - of Polands'

:34:54.:34:57.

The ruling Law and Justice party takes a similar stance

:34:58.:35:00.

to President Trump on many an issue, including immigration

:35:01.:35:02.

The President won't get many better receptions on this trip.

:35:03.:35:06.

In Warsaw the crowds were chanting his name.

:35:07.:35:08.

In his speech he said the Poles had set the world an example

:35:09.:35:11.

From Warsaw we're joined by Agaton Kozinski -

:35:12.:35:14.

the International editor at Polska Times

:35:15.:35:16.

Thanks for joining us. How will this visit be remembered in Poland? It's

:35:17.:35:19.

very surprising and pleasant for us as well. First of all, nobody

:35:20.:35:22.

expected that Donald Trump would be so well-prepared of Polish history,

:35:23.:35:28.

able to comment about Polish past, about Polish traditions about Polish

:35:29.:35:34.

habits, he was quoting from John Paul II, for instance, and we didn't

:35:35.:35:38.

expect that. It will be well remembered. It was one of the most

:35:39.:35:43.

inspiring and the most important speeches of American president in

:35:44.:35:44.

Poland. Those are strong words! Let me ask

:35:45.:35:57.

you about the Russia issue, this is a huge issue in Poland, about

:35:58.:36:03.

Russian expansionism. Trump criticised Russia about its meddling

:36:04.:36:06.

Joe Murphy meddling in other countries, do you think you will

:36:07.:36:08.

follow through on taking tougher action against Moscow? I hope so. He

:36:09.:36:18.

mentioned Russian aggression against the Ukraine, secondly, he reminded

:36:19.:36:26.

us about his commitment to article five of Nato. It looks like he's

:36:27.:36:34.

ready to help Poland if anything happens on our eastern border, if

:36:35.:36:39.

Russia became more aggressive even in 2014. I hope we can believe

:36:40.:36:48.

Donald Trump and we can think about him as a true ally of Poland. Thanks

:36:49.:36:52.

for joining us. Lately Donald Trump has been

:36:53.:36:57.

taking a lot of credit Today in Poland he boasted

:36:58.:36:59.

the markets had put on almost $4 trillion dollars

:37:00.:37:04.

since he took office. And earlier in the week

:37:05.:37:05.

he boasted... The June jobs report

:37:06.:37:16.

comes out tomorrow. Lets speak to Jeanne Cummings,

:37:17.:37:18.

political editor for Thanks for joining us. He's talk

:37:19.:37:30.

about growth, he wanted at 4%. Of all the indications are that it is

:37:31.:37:38.

is under what it was under Obama. Can he do more? They are certainly

:37:39.:37:44.

bank banking on a major tax bill creating more growth. Our growth is

:37:45.:37:48.

at 2%, it has been there for a long time. In general, presidents take

:37:49.:37:52.

more credit for the economy than they should and they often get

:37:53.:37:56.

blamed more than they should. Because their influence on the

:37:57.:38:01.

economic growth is not that great. What this particular White House

:38:02.:38:06.

believes is if they can get the tax package through, combined with lower

:38:07.:38:10.

regulations, that will create some fluidity that will lead to faster

:38:11.:38:14.

growth. That all depends on politics, at the moment he hasn't

:38:15.:38:17.

been able to do anything in big terms of legislation, can he do it?

:38:18.:38:21.

We don't know, we really don't know if the Camelot. We also don't know,

:38:22.:38:29.

we don't believe the market has factored in a fairly on the tax

:38:30.:38:33.

bill, that is a big risk to him. If they don't get the tax bill through,

:38:34.:38:36.

it could affect the economy in a big way. Do we attach too much

:38:37.:38:43.

significance in general to how a president can shift sides? Do we

:38:44.:38:49.

blame him too much when there is an upswing or if it doesn't uptick

:38:50.:38:54.

enough? I would say that is absolutely true. With the economy,

:38:55.:38:58.

it is a global economy. There are some tweaks may be that the White

:38:59.:39:04.

House can do that 40 of certain industries more confidence, for

:39:05.:39:07.

instance. Some of the regulations that he has removed, they haven't

:39:08.:39:13.

taken effect, because it is the very last thing is that President Obama

:39:14.:39:18.

taking place. -- put in place. But those companies can look forward to

:39:19.:39:22.

planning the future with confidence the regulations are not the way. We

:39:23.:39:26.

have talked about China in the context of North Korea but there is

:39:27.:39:29.

a booming trade story about China and one of the stories about Trump

:39:30.:39:33.

when he came into office was that he will be protectionist and imposed

:39:34.:39:36.

Harris. He hasn't done so far. If he's about to, what impact does that

:39:37.:39:42.

have on the US and world economies? That is one of the biggest questions

:39:43.:39:45.

about the administration. Will he get us into a trade war with Mexico,

:39:46.:39:52.

China or wherever? I'm hearing more mutterings that about that this week

:39:53.:39:57.

than I have been. You interviewed people from the G20, they are also

:39:58.:40:03.

concerned about his position on trade and the America First psyche

:40:04.:40:13.

that is driving him. An interesting time for the US and global economy.

:40:14.:40:16.

We are seeing that play out in Hamburg at the moment.

:40:17.:40:18.

With any large gathering of World leaders one thing is certain -

:40:19.:40:21.

Thousands of protestors have come together in Hamburg -

:40:22.:40:24.

for various reasons - pro-climate, pro-globalisation,

:40:25.:40:26.

Police have set up a security corden to prevent the protestors

:40:27.:40:29.

The main day of meetings is tomorrow, but we've been watching

:40:30.:40:34.

Some of the more peaceful ones, as well. This is the live shot this

:40:35.:40:46.

evening. There were 12,000 people for the demonstration the night and

:40:47.:40:49.

apparently that demonstration has now been cancelled, the March house,

:40:50.:40:53.

because of some of the scenes we are seeing right now was a lot of gas

:40:54.:41:00.

and water cannons being fired. I want to show you a more peaceful one

:41:01.:41:04.

that we were looking at today. It's quite creative, this one.

:41:05.:41:07.

Here we have 1,000 grey zombies who are walking the town.

:41:08.:41:10.

Can we bring up the sound for a second?

:41:11.:41:13.

The group of undead said their goal was to motivate other people to get

:41:14.:41:18.

You will see that as they walk through the streets suddenly

:41:19.:41:22.

they come to life , and then the zombies free themselves

:41:23.:41:25.

Quite effective that, isn't it? The end here looks more like my teenage

:41:26.:41:37.

kids going to a music festival in Europe. But the point of it, you're

:41:38.:41:45.

right, this is a more creative protest the many, the point is the

:41:46.:41:49.

same. People have been dehumanised by the global economy and inequality

:41:50.:41:53.

has produced the winners and losers and that is what they are in Hamburg

:41:54.:41:58.

four. I can't quite understand why pictures of Barack Obama make you

:41:59.:42:05.

uncomfortable but zombies don't? At the end of 100 Days Plus, I walk out

:42:06.:42:11.

of Broadcasting House and the colour comes back. It's a pretty similar

:42:12.:42:18.

experience. Slightly Orwellian. On a serious note, we are not on air

:42:19.:42:24.

tomorrow, but it's a dramatic day with some pretty dramatic things

:42:25.:42:28.

that could unfold? I think the meeting with Vladimir Putin is

:42:29.:42:32.

something everyone will be watching. Some critical things including North

:42:33.:42:38.

Korea. We are at a moment where the world might face this crisis, this

:42:39.:42:42.

test of this president. And what he can figure out with China will be

:42:43.:42:46.

essential. This is have veered from being so close to China and trusting

:42:47.:42:50.

China to fix this to almost swimming in the opposite direction, I'm not

:42:51.:42:56.

sure how helpful that about turn is on China either. A big day not just

:42:57.:43:02.

for American politics but global affairs in Hamburg. We will have it

:43:03.:43:05.

all on the BBC. Goodbye for now.
