:00:07. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to 100 Days Plus...
:00:09. > :00:10.Trump and Macron in Paris, the new friends who couldn't
:00:11. > :00:16.They've got big policy differences but just a few moments ago
:00:17. > :00:18.they were both at pains to stress the similarities.
:00:19. > :00:22.The American President is in France to celebrate 100 years of US forces
:00:23. > :00:25.entering the first world war but it's the battles of today
:00:26. > :00:30.After leading the Brexit charge - Nigel Farage became
:00:31. > :00:33.Trump's favourite Brit - we get his take on the President,
:00:34. > :00:38.The Prime Minister admits to shedding a little tear.
:00:39. > :00:42.Theresa May talks about her reaction to the election result.
:00:43. > :00:45.Is China's new silk road an opportunity or a liability for
:00:46. > :00:51.Today the road takes us to Poland where farmers are looking east -
:00:52. > :00:57.hoping their products can find a new enormous pool of consumers.
:00:58. > :01:01.China could be a big new market for European milk but it is a long
:01:02. > :01:08.and complicated journey to the breakfast table in Beijing.
:01:09. > :01:11.Plus, we're about to sign off for the summer -
:01:12. > :01:13.but not before taking a whip through some of the wilder
:01:14. > :01:26.stories that have shaped the past six months.
:01:27. > :01:30.I am Katty Kay in London, Christian Fraser is sitting next to me.
:01:31. > :01:33.It is Day 175 of the Trump Presidency and it is high time
:01:34. > :01:38.Two others sharing the same stage today Emmanuel
:01:39. > :01:45.It's the fourth time they've met and each time it's a study in body
:01:46. > :01:49.Because, these two men could not be any more different.
:01:50. > :01:51.Mr Macron, the globalist, liberal, the youngest
:01:52. > :01:56.Mr Trump now the oldest American president, nationalist -
:01:57. > :01:59.but on the world stage, nowhere near as popular.
:02:00. > :02:02.There's been eyeballing, peculiar handshakes -
:02:03. > :02:05.and the more serious rift over climate and trade.
:02:06. > :02:08.An hour ago the two men appeared side by side for the press
:02:09. > :02:12.conference and here is what they had to say on the Paris Accord which has
:02:13. > :02:19.TRANSLATION: I disagree about the reading we have
:02:20. > :02:23.of the Paris agreement and we have disagreements about this accord
:02:24. > :02:27.and about the decision made by President Trump.
:02:28. > :02:29.Something could happen with respect to the Paris accord.
:02:30. > :02:36.But we will talk about that over the coming period of time and if it
:02:37. > :02:39.happens that will be wonderful and if it doesn't
:02:40. > :02:47.The president was also was asked about his son's meeting
:02:48. > :02:53.As far as my son is concerned, my son is a wonderful young man.
:02:54. > :02:56.He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer.
:02:57. > :03:01.Not a government lawyer but a Russian lawyer.
:03:02. > :03:08.It was a meeting that went very, very quickly, very fast.
:03:09. > :03:11.Two other people in the room, I guess one of them left almost
:03:12. > :03:14.immediately and the other one was not really focused
:03:15. > :03:19.I do think this - I think from a practical standpoint
:03:20. > :03:22.most people would have taken that meeting.
:03:23. > :03:24.Tomorrow the two men will appear side by side
:03:25. > :03:29.Right now they are about to dine on the second floor
:03:30. > :03:31.of the Eiffel Tower, at Jules Vernes,
:03:32. > :03:34.the famed Michelin star restaurant of Alain Ducasse.
:03:35. > :03:41.They have the restaurant and the view to themselves.
:03:42. > :03:44.A little earlier we spoke to someone, who himself,
:03:45. > :03:47.has dined with Donald Trump, in fact he might even be considered
:03:48. > :03:56.So, Nigel Farage, looking at Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron
:03:57. > :03:59.in Paris, it's hard to think that Emmanuel Macron isn't the more
:04:00. > :04:02.Donald Trump does things differently.
:04:03. > :04:05.He is not a conventional politician or a leader in any way.
:04:06. > :04:08.You only have to follow his Twitter account to know that.
:04:09. > :04:12.But what he is is an agent for change and he is trying to shake
:04:13. > :04:18.They are all looking at Emmanuel Macron as global leader.
:04:19. > :04:25.I thought the speech he gave in Riyadh is very bold and brave,
:04:26. > :04:28.saying directly there, "Drive out of your places of worship
:04:29. > :04:31.He was treated in Poland like a hero, with tens of thousands
:04:32. > :04:37.He may not be the sort of cup of tea that the liberal media go
:04:38. > :04:41.for but actually I think around the world he may be a bit more
:04:42. > :04:44.It gives him a break from what's going on in
:04:45. > :04:49.You have been tweeting your support for Donald Trump Junior.
:04:50. > :04:52.I know you are friends but can you at least see that he has been,
:04:53. > :04:55.in the words of the New York Post, which is a reasonably friendly
:04:56. > :04:59.I have been in elected politics, I have fought national elections,
:05:00. > :05:02.European elections, even a referendum.
:05:03. > :05:07.It's a very bloody, dirty, horrible game.
:05:08. > :05:11.And if someone says to me, "I want to meet you for a cup of tea.
:05:12. > :05:14.I've got some information that will really damage the Remain camp
:05:15. > :05:17.or the leader of a party you're fighting," what do you do?
:05:18. > :05:27.If a Russian had come to you and said, "I had some dirt
:05:28. > :05:29.on Theresa May," wouldn't your antenna just go up a little
:05:30. > :05:31.bit and say, "Hang on, this is an adversary.
:05:32. > :05:38.This is not someone that I should really be dealing with"?
:05:39. > :05:43.When he appeared on Fox News he said looking back on it I would have
:05:44. > :05:48.If I was in that position, to know what I would have done?
:05:49. > :05:52.I would have sent somebody else and then you have got to denability.
:05:53. > :05:56.He invited Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner.
:05:57. > :05:58.And he said he should have done things differently.
:05:59. > :06:01.What comes out of this is a lawyer got into America, having been
:06:02. > :06:03.refused because the Obama administration, so maybe we should
:06:04. > :06:06.put some of the blame back on the Democrats here,
:06:07. > :06:11.This is an attempt to link anyone around Trump to Russia.
:06:12. > :06:14.It has even been written in American newspapers that I am under suspicion
:06:15. > :06:21.All of it is designed to stop Donald Trump getting on with the job
:06:22. > :06:25.of putting his platform into place in America.
:06:26. > :06:30.Let's get back to Paris for a second.
:06:31. > :06:32.You have had dinner with Donald Trump, probably not blue lobster,
:06:33. > :06:35.because that doesn't seem to be the President's favourite.
:06:36. > :06:40.Do you think that Emmanuel Macron can persuade Donald Trump over
:06:41. > :06:43.the course of their blue lobster, that it would be a good idea
:06:44. > :06:46.for the United States to get back into the Paris Accord?
:06:47. > :06:49.I think we all get far too excited about what Paris is.
:06:50. > :06:50.The whole Paris thing is voluntary anyway.
:06:51. > :06:53.It doesn't really add up to a row of beans.
:06:54. > :06:57.That is why he didn't need to pull out of it.
:06:58. > :07:01.He has pulled out of it symbolically because he said to American voters
:07:02. > :07:03.we have got a rotten deal across the whole world
:07:04. > :07:08.When he pulled out, look at his language.
:07:09. > :07:12.What he basically said was give us a bit of a break and we'll come back
:07:13. > :07:15.The idea that Trump is totally isolationist is complete
:07:16. > :07:19.But he does want America to get a better deal.
:07:20. > :07:25.Well, today the government published its repeal bill,
:07:26. > :07:28.the legislation that will transfer EU law onto the British
:07:29. > :07:34.Theresa May called it Brexit's biggest day yet.
:07:35. > :07:36.This is also the day that marks the Prime Minister's
:07:37. > :07:41.But how much longer will she remain in the job?
:07:42. > :07:44.The election was a disaster for the Conservative Prime Minister.
:07:45. > :07:51.I felt I suppose devastated really because, as I say, I knew the
:07:52. > :07:55.campaign wasn't going perfectly but still the messages I was getting
:07:56. > :08:00.from people I was speaking to, but also the comments we were getting
:08:01. > :08:03.back from a lot of people that were being passed on to me
:08:04. > :08:05.were that we were going to get a better result
:08:06. > :08:21.So what does Nigel Farage think of the softer Theresa May.
:08:22. > :08:25.Whatever your politics, whatever you feel about Nigel Farage,
:08:26. > :08:30.Jeremy Corbyn has a lot of personality.
:08:31. > :08:33.The big criticism of Theresa May is she was a bit robotic.
:08:34. > :08:43.Look, she is nothing, she doesn't even exist.
:08:44. > :08:46.I mean, she stands up and gives these speeches.
:08:47. > :08:50.She is humourless, robotic, as you've said, lacks
:08:51. > :08:52.sincerity completely, and for me, the one thing that
:08:53. > :08:56.sums her up is that disastrous fire at Grenfell Tower and she turns up
:08:57. > :08:58.as Prime Minister, shakes the hand of the police
:08:59. > :09:00.chief, shakes the hand of the fire chief, disappears.
:09:01. > :09:02.Doesn't even meet the families affected by it.
:09:03. > :09:05.Goodness me, the king and queen during the war went to the East End
:09:06. > :09:10.of London to visit people who had been bombed.
:09:11. > :09:15.She is too buttoned up and I think she comes across to me
:09:16. > :09:19.She will go which ever way public opinion takes her.
:09:20. > :09:21.Does that worry you when it comes to Brexit?
:09:22. > :09:33.She was asked in the general election, did she as a Remain
:09:34. > :09:37.All she could say was we will carry out the will of the people.
:09:38. > :09:41.I think over the course of the next few months it will become clear
:09:42. > :09:44.that she is not the commanding the support of her own party,
:09:45. > :09:48.I think she will be gone in a few months and I think
:09:49. > :09:50.the Conservative Party absolutely have to have a leader
:09:51. > :09:55.Even if she is gone, it is looking increasingly possible
:09:56. > :09:58.at least that it has come to be a softer Brexit and
:09:59. > :10:04.One year ago would you have thought this was possible?
:10:05. > :10:07.No, I thought we were a democratic country.
:10:08. > :10:10.Its up the political class would, for once, just have to accept
:10:11. > :10:12.that they couldn't have things their own way.
:10:13. > :10:14.It is funny because what has happened is public opinion...
:10:15. > :10:16.But the country does want a soft Brexit.
:10:17. > :10:25.Public opinion, consistently, about 70% of people say however
:10:26. > :10:27.we voted one year ago we want the government simply
:10:28. > :10:30.That includes leaving the single market.
:10:31. > :10:33.It is the political class in the House of Commons and House
:10:34. > :10:35.of Lords that are trying to rally against it.
:10:36. > :10:37.Brexit will happen, I have no doubt at all.
:10:38. > :10:39.But I agree with the basis of the question.
:10:40. > :10:42.I think there will be areas where we concede
:10:43. > :10:48.The Democratic numbers in the house say it has come
:10:49. > :10:53.The Parliamentary numbers worry me very greatly and, yes,
:10:54. > :10:57.I am agreeing with you, I think we are going to get a much
:10:58. > :11:00.softer Brexit than the people voted for which means we are going to be
:11:01. > :11:03.debating this for the next two or three general elections.
:11:04. > :11:17.Are used to follow Nigel Farage around during the big summits and he
:11:18. > :11:25.was like the man with the fork and the two horns they really disliked.
:11:26. > :11:28.You had a seat in Parliament and he only had a bit of support in the
:11:29. > :11:34.country when he started off and yet he carry this idea so far through
:11:35. > :11:39.sheer purser for stash force of personality and whether you like him
:11:40. > :11:42.or not, that is what he did. And this is the challenge Theresa May
:11:43. > :11:58.has to live up to on such a difficult task.
:11:59. > :12:05.The idea of a politician who says what he thinks and bucks the
:12:06. > :12:09.establishment and they represent a different policies but what they had
:12:10. > :12:13.in common was this sense of strong personality and people in this time
:12:14. > :12:19.seem to like that. A softer side Theresa May today, a new immune
:12:20. > :12:25.occasions advisor. Robin Gibson. Jeremy Corbyn was his avuncular
:12:26. > :12:30.campaigner, took risks, the concern in the country will be here is
:12:31. > :12:36.Theresa May on the anniversary and the question is is it too little,
:12:37. > :12:40.too late? I think also there was a problem for a woman politician
:12:41. > :12:43.possibly admitting to moments of weakness and saying she cried as an
:12:44. > :12:46.awkward thing for a woman in politics to have to do and doing it
:12:47. > :12:47.if you do not believe it and do it comfortably gets you away from the
:12:48. > :12:50.idea of being presented. The Paris trip is at least some
:12:51. > :12:53.respite for Mr Trump from the Russian investigation
:12:54. > :12:55.which again has consumed the agenda Yesterday it was very much the focus
:12:56. > :12:59.at the confirmation hearing of Christopher Wray,
:13:00. > :13:01.the man nominated to lead the FBI. One of the early contenders for that
:13:02. > :13:05.job was former US Senator and presidential candidate Joe
:13:06. > :13:07.Lieberman. He now co-chairs No Labels -
:13:08. > :13:21.a group focused on breaking partisan Thank you for joining us. Have you
:13:22. > :13:25.had Donald Trump -- Donald Trump talking about his son Don Junior
:13:26. > :13:31.saying anyone would have taken that meeting with the Russian, you ran
:13:32. > :13:38.for the vice presidency in 2000, would you take a nap meeting? I hope
:13:39. > :13:41.not, I do not think I would have forced to buy do not think anyone
:13:42. > :13:47.would take on such a meeting. Some people would have but in my opinion
:13:48. > :13:52.no one should have. In the heat of the campaign, its summit comes along
:13:53. > :13:56.and says they have real dirt on your opponent, there is a temptation to
:13:57. > :14:03.just go for it but this after all was coming from a foreign government
:14:04. > :14:10.and the e-mail response of Donald Trump junior, I love it really was
:14:11. > :14:15.even know it was a casual e-mail and he had no reason to think it would
:14:16. > :14:22.be globally visible, it creates this sense that he was open to collusion.
:14:23. > :14:26.It is hurtful right now. This perception whatever the facts may
:14:27. > :14:31.turn out, what is interesting as you ran as a Democrat and now an
:14:32. > :14:35.independent, you represent a group called no labels trying to get
:14:36. > :14:39.beyond Spa partisan ship in America but we are living in an age where we
:14:40. > :14:43.have this e-mail chain, it seems black and white what the facts are
:14:44. > :14:48.surrounding this but half the population will see it one way and
:14:49. > :14:53.half the population another fast --? That is the way to often in the
:14:54. > :14:57.country. Honestly there was a lot of smoke here but it is not clear there
:14:58. > :15:06.was a gun. It depends on what follows. We have two congressional
:15:07. > :15:11.investigations, a special prosecutor and a divided public responding in a
:15:12. > :15:15.divided wait almost everything, no labels might seem idealistic awkward
:15:16. > :15:20.exotic but the truth is unless we work together we have Democrats and
:15:21. > :15:24.independents working together to break the gridlock our country is
:15:25. > :15:29.just not going to solve its problems or seize opportunities and the
:15:30. > :15:34.publics attitude towards government will grow in frustration and anger
:15:35. > :15:41.which is part of the reason why Donald Trump was elected. You were
:15:42. > :15:44.in the running for this post of FBI director, Christopher Ray was
:15:45. > :15:48.grilled yesterday by the Senate committee, it is inevitable given
:15:49. > :15:52.the abrupt firing of James Komi and the weight has that the independence
:15:53. > :16:00.of the next director will be a key issue. Yes, it is. Really it is a
:16:01. > :16:06.measure of where we are now that so many of the questions at Christopher
:16:07. > :16:09.Ray's hearing yesterday were directed towards whether he was
:16:10. > :16:14.prepared to essentially say no to the president if there was a
:16:15. > :16:22.political interference. I think he is, frankly after all the brouhaha
:16:23. > :16:30.over James Komi I do not think President Trump will be interfering
:16:31. > :16:33.in the work of the FBI. Christopher Ray is a very capable person and
:16:34. > :16:41.will do a good job directing the FBI. For the balance, a lot of
:16:42. > :16:44.people are saying on the Republican side that anybody in politics would
:16:45. > :16:48.have taken this information had it been presented, they are saying an
:16:49. > :16:53.agent working for the Democrats went to Ukraine and try to find
:16:54. > :16:59.information on the Trump campaign. Isn't that the same thing? I don't
:17:00. > :17:03.know much about that though I heard about it and if it happened it is
:17:04. > :17:07.the same thing and it should not have happened. You have to draw some
:17:08. > :17:13.lines. This is the problem, it is part of the problem that is creating
:17:14. > :17:16.this dysfunction in American government that no labels aims to
:17:17. > :17:23.undercut which is that everything is about party, not enough is about
:17:24. > :17:29.what is right and best for the country and in this case OK, you're
:17:30. > :17:36.in a tough somebody is offering some red meat about your opponent but to
:17:37. > :17:45.take it from Russia which is hostile to America because of its role in
:17:46. > :17:48.Syria and seizing Crimea because of presence of Russian troops and
:17:49. > :17:54.Ukrainian soil, it should have been a no-brainer and this is the big
:17:55. > :17:58.problem we have. How do you draw some lines about what is right and
:17:59. > :18:01.wrong and acceptable or not and how do we get Congress and the president
:18:02. > :18:07.back to working together across party lines? We have a group that we
:18:08. > :18:12.have spawned called the problem solvers caucus, 44 members equally
:18:13. > :18:17.divided between Republicans and Democrats. They will make a
:18:18. > :18:22.difference on tax reform infrastructure and health care
:18:23. > :18:23.reforms. We must leave it there. Thank you.
:18:24. > :18:26.A freedom of information request has revealed that the US state
:18:27. > :18:28.department booked 19 rooms at the new Trump hotel in Vancouver
:18:29. > :18:30.when accompanying members of the Presidents family
:18:31. > :18:35.And the cost of the visit back in February, once Mr Trump
:18:36. > :18:40.was already President, was more than $15,000.
:18:41. > :18:43.It raises an interesting question around the potential
:18:44. > :18:46.conflict of interest here - should tax payers money fund trips
:18:47. > :18:55.that will financially benefit the presidents private company?
:18:56. > :19:03.The White House would say this hotel doesn't actually belong to the Trump
:19:04. > :19:06.family, it is licensed to the Trump family business but the thing is the
:19:07. > :19:10.Trump family business is so tied up with brand and the brand of the
:19:11. > :19:15.Trump name that it is hard to distinguish the two and it is
:19:16. > :19:18.something we had the head of the Essex office resigning because he
:19:19. > :19:25.said he thought there was too much of a conflict of interest. You're
:19:26. > :19:30.meant to see this through, not resign. I looked at the register of
:19:31. > :19:34.members financial interests in the UK to see what the rules are and
:19:35. > :19:36.they say the main purpose of the registers to provide information
:19:37. > :19:41.about any financial interests which a member has or any benefit which he
:19:42. > :19:45.or she receives through his or her actions or words as member of
:19:46. > :19:48.Parliament. If you apply that to what you told us about the State
:19:49. > :19:54.Department going to the Trump hotel, it is a conflict of interest. Even
:19:55. > :19:57.to avoid a conflict of interest or the perception they would have done
:19:58. > :20:00.better staying at the Hilton. Next time took a different hotel.

:24:16. > :24:22.this programme a lot, you might think we are good friends, actually
:24:23. > :24:28.you might not! In actual fact, shall be tell them, we met for the first
:24:29. > :24:33.time today and here are the stills. We have evidence. This is outside
:24:34. > :24:39.reception at the BBC. It went rather well. She bought me porridge. The
:24:40. > :24:43.weird thing is I was thinking today, I worked in foreign news the ten
:24:44. > :24:49.years so we have been communicating over the airwaves for ten years from
:24:50. > :24:57.Rome, Cairo and Paris and never met in the same country. It is like a
:24:58. > :25:01.weird internet relationship. I was worried we might meet and it would
:25:02. > :25:07.go terribly wrong and will be better off staying 3000 miles apart but it
:25:08. > :25:12.has been OK. It has been so OK, shall we do it again? We are going
:25:13. > :25:16.to do it again. We're coming back in September, we will have a holiday,
:25:17. > :25:19.have a rest and come back in September and do it some more. In
:25:20. > :25:24.the full assurance there will still be a lot going on in the world for
:25:25. > :25:26.us to cover. We do not know what we will call the programme yet. You
:25:27. > :25:28.might have some good idea. You're watching 100
:25:29. > :25:30.Days Plus from BBC News. It was a crucial battle ground
:25:31. > :25:36.victory for Donald Trump. We'll check in with one
:25:37. > :25:38.of his supporters from And sitting in the studio
:25:39. > :25:44.in Washington is Ron Christie. He'll join us for our
:25:45. > :25:48.final programme. That's still to come on 100
:25:49. > :26:12.Days Plus, from BBC News. The weekend is fast approaching, and
:26:13. > :26:17.the weather is looking a little mixed over the next few days. There
:26:18. > :26:22.is some rain on the way, tonight if you spot of rain, mostly across
:26:23. > :26:26.northern areas of the UK and the rain will be brought by this weather
:26:27. > :26:30.front, a very weak one meaning the damp weather will splash its way
:26:31. > :26:34.through the north briefly, it will not last for long, moving through
:26:35. > :26:39.Scotland at this stage into the lake district around ten or 11 o'clock,
:26:40. > :26:43.three Yorkshire by midnight and to the south of that tonight it is
:26:44. > :26:47.going to be dry. It is also not as cold tonight as it was last night.
:26:48. > :26:53.Last night in northern areas temperatures dipped down to three
:26:54. > :26:58.degrees in rural spots. Tonight, not as fresh. Tomorrow, we started the
:26:59. > :27:00.North, Scotland and Northern Ireland around eight o'clock and it looks
:27:01. > :27:18.absolutely fine, temperatures around 13 or 14
:27:19. > :27:20.degrees, some sunny spells. The overnight patchy rain out in the
:27:21. > :27:22.North Sea so we are in the clear, the dry weather with some
:27:23. > :27:25.fair-weather cloud here and there. More cloudy in East Anglia first
:27:26. > :27:28.thing but that should swiftly clear out into the North Sea. The South
:27:29. > :27:30.first theme, a fine day. A couple of light showers, really brief and
:27:31. > :27:34.fleeting ones, later on in the afternoon however we expect the
:27:35. > :27:37.weather to go downhill a little across the North West so some cloud
:27:38. > :27:44.and rain into Northern Ireland and Scotland. For Wimbledon on Friday,
:27:45. > :27:51.it looks variable amounts of cloud, temperatures around the low 20s.
:27:52. > :27:55.Friday evening, it is looking dry across most of England and Wales but
:27:56. > :28:01.some rain in Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh and in the Lake District.
:28:02. > :28:04.Saturday, a line of weather front which will be moving off the
:28:05. > :28:08.Atlantic making a beeline for northern areas of the UK, that the
:28:09. > :28:12.Northwest some rain and Lancashire and into parts of Wales and
:28:13. > :28:17.extensive cloud around during Saturday so a cloudy and muggy and
:28:18. > :28:21.warm day with some rain particularly further north on Saturday. Come
:28:22. > :28:25.Sunday, the rain fizzles out and pushes out into the North Sea and we
:28:26. > :30:05.are left over with warm and cloudy weather across South.
:30:06. > :30:14.Two presidents but two very different men -
:30:15. > :30:16.Emmanuel Macron welcomes Donald Trump to Paris
:30:17. > :30:18.ahead of tomorrow's Bastille Day celebrations.
:30:19. > :30:20.Mr Trump defended his son, Donald Junior, for meeting
:30:21. > :30:24.with a Russian lawyer during the Presidential campaign.
:30:25. > :30:27.Not according to the British politician who's perhaps
:30:28. > :30:33.closest to the White House, Nigel Farage.
:30:34. > :30:42.If someone says to me, I want to meet you for a cup of tea, I have
:30:43. > :30:47.got some information that will damage the Remain camp or of a
:30:48. > :30:54.leader you are fighting, what do you do?
:30:55. > :30:57.Right now Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron are in Paris
:30:58. > :30:59.for a presidential visit full of pomp.
:31:00. > :31:02.The two presidents visited the tomb of Napoleon at Les Invalides
:31:03. > :31:08.Now they're moving on to dinner atop the Eiffel Tower.
:31:09. > :31:10.Being in France removes the President from the Washington
:31:11. > :31:15.bubble - something we do on the programme as well -
:31:16. > :31:18.to give you a flavour of how the rest of the country sees
:31:19. > :31:22.Yesterday we took you to the Republican state of Nebraska.
:31:23. > :31:25.Today - on our last show - we are going to reintroduce
:31:26. > :31:28.you to a Trump supporter we spoke to in our very first week.
:31:29. > :31:44.I think that as of now he has done a really good job of putting things in
:31:45. > :31:52.action. I am a little concerned with his delivery. I don't think he is
:31:53. > :31:53.perfect. I think the wax polish hopefully although not along the way
:31:54. > :31:54.before any damage done. And we can speak to Denise
:31:55. > :32:05.live in Miami now. Six months on how was he doing? I
:32:06. > :32:07.actually think he has been behaving more statesman-like recently,
:32:08. > :32:12.especially with all his visits abroad. I still agree with him and
:32:13. > :32:19.pretty much every move he has made on the international front. I do
:32:20. > :32:23.wish he would focus more now on domestic policy. Obviously tax
:32:24. > :32:29.reform and health care are something that affect us all personally, so to
:32:30. > :32:34.me that is a wind that he needs to have and it should be before August
:32:35. > :32:38.hopefully, so we are still waiting on that, baited breath. You are in
:32:39. > :32:41.an interesting position of course because a lot of Hispanics voted
:32:42. > :32:47.against Mr Trump and don't like what he has been doing on immigration. We
:32:48. > :32:51.hear a lot of concern amongst undocumented immigrants in the
:32:52. > :32:55.United States. What are your Hispanic and Latino friends saying
:32:56. > :33:01.to you? Those of us who supported him from day one always understood
:33:02. > :33:06.that we do have a broken system and we do need to put policies in place,
:33:07. > :33:11.but the priority for us was always enforcement of the laws as they
:33:12. > :33:15.exist and they don't see how anybody can disagree with that. If you start
:33:16. > :33:21.with that as a base and build from there, this rhetoric of wanting to
:33:22. > :33:27.get rid of all immigrants, that was always a false narrative and we know
:33:28. > :33:31.now not to be true, I think we need to focus on enforcing the laws as
:33:32. > :33:36.they exist and then finding a way to grant permanent residency and
:33:37. > :33:38.citizenship to a lot of the people who have been here whether it was
:33:39. > :33:43.students that were born here and have been here for over 18 years now
:33:44. > :33:49.and adults, there has to be for them and so we agree on that front, that
:33:50. > :33:56.was always Mr Trump's plan from day one when he ran. I thought you were
:33:57. > :33:59.just in front of the water there and it was delayed and it has changed to
:34:00. > :34:09.dark. I like what you're doing with the wallpaper behind you. I have
:34:10. > :34:13.nothing to do with that. Tell me this, we pick up on all of what we
:34:14. > :34:19.think in the media are the big themes, the sacking of James Comey,
:34:20. > :34:27.the e-mails of his son, I am quite titillated by it, are you? I am kind
:34:28. > :34:29.of sick of seeing it all, all these conspiracies. I am all for these
:34:30. > :34:33.investigations going forward the way they should but unless there is any
:34:34. > :34:39.real evidence, I wish the media would just focus on things that we
:34:40. > :34:42.really need to know more about like health care reform, things going on
:34:43. > :34:49.behind the scenes in the Senate and Congress but health care. If they
:34:50. > :34:56.don't do health care would that really change things for you? I
:34:57. > :35:00.would definitely be very upset. Not just sit with President Trump, more
:35:01. > :35:03.disappointed in the republicans that are representing us right now in
:35:04. > :35:11.Congress. That is who I would really be upset with. Thank you. Stay in
:35:12. > :35:14.touch. Interesting. Often what we hear is that supporters of Donald
:35:15. > :35:16.Trump are upset with the Republican Party and the media and not the
:35:17. > :35:16.president. One thing we can say with absolute
:35:17. > :35:19.certainty since we've started this It is 175 days since
:35:20. > :35:23.Donald Trump took office. On this show we've made exactly 100
:35:24. > :35:26.programmes, so they tell me. And during that time -
:35:27. > :35:29.if you were wondering - We have covered a great deal of it -
:35:30. > :35:50.so here's a reminder Hello and welcome to 100 days. Our
:35:51. > :35:58.new programme... From this day forward it is going to be only
:35:59. > :36:00.America first. President Trump says his administration will start
:36:01. > :36:08.building a wall on the US border with Mexico within months. No band,
:36:09. > :36:10.no while! There are legal challenges. The introduction of a
:36:11. > :36:17.temporary border and wreak Visa holders of refugees from seven
:36:18. > :36:23.Muslim countries. Sometimes he doesn't let go. Do you remember this
:36:24. > :36:27.one. Just three weeks into the new American administration and already
:36:28. > :36:29.the president has had to sack someone. National security adviser
:36:30. > :36:33.Michael Flynn did speak to the ambassador about sanctions. I think
:36:34. > :36:38.he has been treated unfairly by the media. As I call it the fake media
:36:39. > :36:45.in many cases. Where are you from? BBC. There is another beauty. The
:36:46. > :36:49.British government begins the process of leaving the European
:36:50. > :36:55.Union. This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning
:36:56. > :37:00.back. America's policy as serious as confusing. After the Tomahawks, what
:37:01. > :37:05.now? We agreed that the Government should call a general election. The
:37:06. > :37:12.transition of power is underway in France. Washington is in uproar
:37:13. > :37:19.after the sudden and highly unusual dismissal of the head of the FBI.
:37:20. > :37:27.Manchester is a city in mourning. 22 people killed at a concert. Mr
:37:28. > :37:32.Trump, look at that, the Trump brush off but, the Montenegrin Prime
:37:33. > :37:36.Minister. The United States will would withdraw from the Paris
:37:37. > :37:44.climate accord. It is my judgment I was fired because of the Russia
:37:45. > :37:49.investigation. Will they also tell Russia not to interfere in new
:37:50. > :37:52.selection? The President's Sun releases and that confirm that he
:37:53. > :38:00.did go looking for dirt on Hillary Clinton. 175 days and I am still
:38:01. > :38:01.standing. It was of course the Macedonian Prime Minister but I
:38:02. > :38:02.didn't want pointed out... And here with us throughout it
:38:03. > :38:04.all has been Ron Christie, who worked in the administration
:38:05. > :38:06.of George W Bush. Today he is holding down the fort
:38:07. > :38:17.in Washington for us. I was so jealous of you being in
:38:18. > :38:20.London. I had to come to London. It has been an hour going around this
:38:21. > :38:26.building, take me somewhere else he said. We are 175 days in, you are a
:38:27. > :38:32.Republican, you worked for George W Bush. I was going? I think it is
:38:33. > :38:35.going well now that the president has devoted a lot of his focus to
:38:36. > :38:39.foreign policy. He has a lot of problems here at home. His health
:38:40. > :38:44.care bills and moving anywhere. The tax reform package has stalled. On
:38:45. > :38:48.foreign policy the president thinks he is finding his way, but he has
:38:49. > :38:51.gone to the G20, it didn't go as badly as many here in the United
:38:52. > :38:59.States thought it would and 175 days and I am surprised he is doing all
:39:00. > :39:06.right. I read your piece today on Warsaw. You thought his words speech
:39:07. > :39:10.was his best yet. I think it was important because it talked about
:39:11. > :39:15.the importance of Western civilisation our values, the beacons
:39:16. > :39:18.of democracy and freedom and it was delivered in a historic setting
:39:19. > :39:23.where Pope John Paul II had delivered mass in to a million
:39:24. > :39:31.people and when that speech resonated, freedom and democracy are
:39:32. > :39:35.the cornerstones of who we are in the Western civilisation world. You
:39:36. > :39:39.say it is going well on foreign policy but maybe it is that lawyers
:39:40. > :39:45.had taken his iPhone away and he can tweet any more. I think one of our
:39:46. > :39:54.favourite moments in the 175 days was the tweet that came out of that
:39:55. > :39:58.said, kovfefe. I still don't know what that means. I have been pretty
:39:59. > :40:03.consistent for saying that he needs adult supervision. That means take
:40:04. > :40:12.the Twitter machine with its 140 characters out of his hands. What
:40:13. > :40:16.would I do all day? Along the way we have lost some good people who used
:40:17. > :40:23.to come on here and talk to us. Kurt Volker, the representative to
:40:24. > :40:29.Ukraine. I know you have been topped up but they do have a problem
:40:30. > :40:34.recruiting, this White House. They do. I spoke to an ambassador
:40:35. > :40:39.designate just yesterday who said he had spoken to the president earlier
:40:40. > :40:43.in the day and pressed upon him, Mr President, you need people in your
:40:44. > :40:47.administration not just here at home within embassies around the world so
:40:48. > :40:51.that foreign policy can be a more finely tuned mechanism, to figure
:40:52. > :40:56.out how can we best advance and how can we work America's agenda but
:40:57. > :41:00.around the world and this ambassador said to me the president understands
:41:01. > :41:03.that, he heard the message and that if I got is that we will see a lot
:41:04. > :41:07.more appointments going into the United States Senate within the next
:41:08. > :41:16.few weeks. Stay with us in the future. Don't vote the White House.
:41:17. > :41:28.I would -- don't go to the White House. It is the tradition in
:41:29. > :41:31.America to bring it gets. I have something for you. You have been on
:41:32. > :41:40.the cover of Time magazine a few times... Look at that! Christian
:41:41. > :41:47.Fraser, TV's high-quality anchor. Why not very high quality? It was
:41:48. > :41:51.time you had your own cover. That is going on the wall of my golf club. I
:41:52. > :41:56.have also come bearing a gift because you can be the anchor of a
:41:57. > :42:07.TV show about Donald Trump and not have and make America a great again
:42:08. > :42:11.had. It is a very high hat. Take it off, we can't have that the rest of
:42:12. > :42:15.the programme. There has been so much going on the world. The premise
:42:16. > :42:18.of this programme was to cover things on both sides of the Atlantic
:42:19. > :42:22.and it is still a very busy time. We will take a break over summer as we
:42:23. > :42:27.said earlier and we need a break, but we will come back in September,
:42:28. > :42:31.at this time slot and we hope you will all come back and join us again
:42:32. > :42:34.for whatever we call this programme, because one thing we know if it is
:42:35. > :42:39.going do you busy and there will be busy and all been lots of news to
:42:40. > :42:44.cover. You can come to Washington any time but she can't meet Ron.
:42:45. > :42:50.Some things I have to keep to myself. We will keep you informed
:42:51. > :42:54.about Brexit, Trump, where the rest of the populist movement goes. We
:42:55. > :42:57.might even take the programme to Mexico, China, if our bosses let us.
:42:58. > :43:08.For the moment thanks for joining us.
