Tonight at ten, how shambolic policing played its part

:00:00.:00:07.

in the outcome of the Tunisian beach attack.

:00:08.:00:13.

In June 2015, an Islamist gunman killed 30 British

:00:14.:00:16.

Today the families endorsed the outcome of the inquests.

:00:17.:00:23.

It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police

:00:24.:00:29.

had have been called, if the national guard

:00:30.:00:31.

had got there sooner, then lives could have

:00:32.:00:33.

The families of the victims have decided to sue the travel company

:00:34.:00:39.

for not giving sufficient warning of the risks of going to Tunisia.

:00:40.:00:44.

If the tour operator, TUI Thomson, had played their part

:00:45.:00:47.

and said, "Look, you know, there's a risk here,"

:00:48.:00:51.

I firmly believe they'd never have gone.

:00:52.:00:55.

We'll have the reaction to the coroner's finding

:00:56.:00:58.

of unlawful killing, as the Tunisian authorities

:00:59.:01:03.

say security has been transformed since the attack.

:01:04.:01:05.

Also tonigh, a pension deal for former BHS workers -

:01:06.:01:08.

Sir Philip Green will contribute ?363 million

:01:09.:01:10.

A senior police officer suggests that some men who view

:01:11.:01:16.

child pornography should be rehabilitated, not prosecuted.

:01:17.:01:22.

A special report on poverty in America, as President Trump

:01:23.:01:25.

prepares to set out his vision for the next four years.

:01:26.:01:30.

And paying for the privilege - there'll be two fee-paying

:01:31.:01:32.

passengers on a flight into space next year.

:01:33.:01:36.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, the Championship title race is

:01:37.:01:40.

hotting up - Brighton and Newcastle were facing each other

:01:41.:01:42.

with a point separating the top two at the start of the evening.

:01:43.:02:07.

who were shot dead by a jihadist militant in Tunisia

:02:08.:02:13.

have announced that they will sue the tour operator TUI.

:02:14.:02:16.

Relatives believe the company did not do enough

:02:17.:02:18.

to warn people about the dangers in Tunisia.

:02:19.:02:21.

At the end of the inquests today, the coroner refused

:02:22.:02:23.

to rule that the company had shown neglect,

:02:24.:02:26.

but he was highly critical of the response of the Tunisian police,

:02:27.:02:31.

as our correspondent Daniela Relph reports.

:02:32.:02:36.

These are the bereaved - for more than a month,

:02:37.:02:38.

they have listened to chilling details of multiple murder.

:02:39.:02:43.

Many of them witnessed their loved ones being killed.

:02:44.:02:46.

The end of this part of the legal process was an important moment.

:02:47.:02:52.

The inquests were about those who tragically lost their lives.

:02:53.:02:54.

They must never be forgotten, and their families hope

:02:55.:02:57.

that no-one else will ever have to suffer the same fate in future.

:02:58.:03:03.

The coroner ruled the 30 British tourists who died that day

:03:04.:03:06.

The inquest has established the facts

:03:07.:03:12.

Holiday-makers here react to the first sounds of shooting.

:03:13.:03:18.

These were people running for their lives.

:03:19.:03:21.

On the beach was the gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui.

:03:22.:03:26.

His first targets had been holiday-makers

:03:27.:03:28.

He then moved to the pool and terrace area,

:03:29.:03:33.

Inside the hotel, he roamed around looking for victims.

:03:34.:03:41.

The court was told that he killed for 16 minutes.

:03:42.:03:44.

One of the marine guard fainted in shock.

:03:45.:03:51.

The coroner today described the emergency response as,

:03:52.:03:57.

"At its best shambolic, at its worst cowardly."

:03:58.:04:02.

This animation shows where each person died.

:04:03.:04:06.

In just about every main area of the hotel, somebody was killed.

:04:07.:04:11.

The families believe the travel company TUI was negligent,

:04:12.:04:16.

but the coroner rejected this, saying there were too many what-ifs

:04:17.:04:19.

and no single thing that could have prevented the attack.

:04:20.:04:22.

Judge Nicholas Lorraine Smith told the families, "The simple but tragic

:04:23.:04:26.

truth in this case is that a gunman armed with a gun and grenades

:04:27.:04:31.

went to that hotel intending to kill as many tourists as he could."

:04:32.:04:36.

Ray and Angie Fisher were two of the victims,

:04:37.:04:39.

killed alongside each other on the beach.

:04:40.:04:46.

Their family believe TUI should have warned

:04:47.:04:48.

If they'd have known the reality, and if the tour operator,

:04:49.:04:52.

TUI Thompson, had played their part and actually said, "Look, you know,

:04:53.:04:55.

there is a risk here," and directed them to that,

:04:56.:04:58.

I firmly believe they'd never have gone.

:04:59.:05:02.

The tour company has always denied it was to blame.

:05:03.:05:06.

and we will need to continue to do so.

:05:07.:05:15.

This terrorist incident left its mark on all of us,

:05:16.:05:17.

and its impact will always be remembered.

:05:18.:05:19.

will now pursue a civil lawsuit against TUI.

:05:20.:05:24.

The coroner will also look at whether he can make any

:05:25.:05:26.

recommendations to help prevent such a massacre ever happening again.

:05:27.:05:29.

As the inquest closed, the coroner told the families

:05:30.:05:32.

of which their loved ones would be proud.

:05:33.:05:39.

Daniela Relph, BBC News, at the Royal Courts of Justice.

:05:40.:05:48.

A total of 38 people were killed on the day in June 2015,

:05:49.:05:51.

The families who attended the inquests

:05:52.:05:55.

have been describing having to relive the events in Sousse.

:05:56.:05:58.

Suzanne Evans lost her son, brother and father.

:05:59.:06:02.

And Cheryl Stollery's husband was killed in the hotel car park.

:06:03.:06:05.

They've been speaking to our correspondent Sarah Campbell.

:06:06.:06:09.

And I say, "Well, you know, I'm still a mum,"

:06:10.:06:17.

and I'm thankful of that, that I've still got Owen.

:06:18.:06:20.

The day after this photograph was taken, Suzanne's father Pat,

:06:21.:06:24.

eldest son Joel and her brother Adrian were killed.

:06:25.:06:27.

Only Owen, on the left of the picture, survived.

:06:28.:06:31.

The coroner mentioned your youngest son, Owen,

:06:32.:06:39.

and his extraordinary courage - how is he coping?

:06:40.:06:43.

He's doing well, he's an inspiration to us all.

:06:44.:06:48.

I often say if Owen can get up and go to school

:06:49.:06:52.

then I haven't got any reason why I can't.

:06:53.:06:56.

Cheryl Stollery not only has the loss of her husband John

:06:57.:07:03.

to cope with, but the memories of that day.

:07:04.:07:07.

John was shot as both ran from the gunman.

:07:08.:07:10.

My thought at the time was, "I'm going to die,"

:07:11.:07:12.

We were trying to seek refuge, we didn't know where to go,

:07:13.:07:18.

no-one was directing us anywhere, it was just a free-for-all.

:07:19.:07:25.

John was robbed of the respect and dignity by the way he was killed.

:07:26.:07:31.

It's particularly heartbreaking to think that if the police

:07:32.:07:34.

had been called, if the national guard had got there sooner,

:07:35.:07:40.

then lives could have or probably would have been saved.

:07:41.:07:45.

Can anything positive come out of what happened on June 26th 2015?

:07:46.:07:52.

We can never bring the people, those 30 people, back.

:07:53.:08:00.

What we have to do is learn to live with that, to try and move on.

:08:01.:08:05.

There's always going to be people out there

:08:06.:08:08.

who want to impose their will, their beliefs on others.

:08:09.:08:13.

We need to get better at protecting, and looking at ways

:08:14.:08:19.

in which to safeguard, and we can only do that

:08:20.:08:24.

if all the people involved start communicating

:08:25.:08:28.

and working far more closely in partnership.

:08:29.:08:30.

And I will do all I can to try and do my part to make a difference.

:08:31.:08:41.

That was Cheryl Stollery ending that report by Sarah Campbell.

:08:42.:08:44.

Today, the Tunisian authorities have called on the Foreign Office

:08:45.:08:46.

insisting that major security improvements have taken place,

:08:47.:08:49.

and that Tunisia is as safe as many European countries.

:08:50.:08:53.

The number of British visitors to Tunisia

:08:54.:08:57.

has dropped by 90% since the attack.

:08:58.:08:59.

is in the resort of Sousse tonight with the latest.

:09:00.:09:09.

Well, tonight, even now on an empty beach, there are police nearby, but

:09:10.:09:16.

many of the hotels and restaurants in Sousse are closed, or half empty,

:09:17.:09:21.

a legacy of the devastating attack on the beach. Today the Tunisian

:09:22.:09:24.

authorities admitted that the police were not properly prepared, but they

:09:25.:09:30.

said this is a young democracy, a country in transition that needs

:09:31.:09:34.

support. Local people continue to say they are sorry for the loss of

:09:35.:09:38.

British life, and the dead will never be forgotten, but they hope

:09:39.:09:40.

that Tunisia can move on. A new vigilance that was utterly

:09:41.:09:42.

lacking on the day of the attack. Now, permanent checkpoints

:09:43.:09:49.

and patrols by the police The message is clear -

:09:50.:09:52.

"You are safe, it's a new Tunisia." Ministers are looking

:09:53.:10:01.

to brighter days, after tourism was gravely wounded

:10:02.:10:03.

in the carnage on the beach. We improve a lot our security,

:10:04.:10:11.

and we think that tourism will be coming back

:10:12.:10:14.

in the next few months now. We have good indications for

:10:15.:10:18.

summer 2017, and we'd be very happy to see again British coming

:10:19.:10:21.

back to Tunisia. Do you think it's 100% safe?

:10:22.:10:27.

Can you say that? Metal detectors are now standard

:10:28.:10:31.

when you enter hotels - even if you own them,

:10:32.:10:41.

like Mohammed Becheur. where the British holiday-makers

:10:42.:10:44.

were killed on June 26th 2015. He admits security in Tunisia should

:10:45.:10:55.

have been tightened that March, after an attack on tourists

:10:56.:10:58.

in the Bardo Museum. It should have been

:10:59.:11:00.

stricter and stronger. to be honest with you,

:11:01.:11:02.

it should have been. But there is a before 26th June

:11:03.:11:07.

2015, and there is an after - this is not the same

:11:08.:11:11.

country any more. This was the picture

:11:12.:11:16.

when terror came to the beach. Locals say the lone gunman

:11:17.:11:20.

was on the loose for 40 minutes. condemnation of the glaring absence

:11:21.:11:27.

of the security forces. When tourists were being slaughtered

:11:28.:11:36.

here on the sands, police could and should have

:11:37.:11:39.

made an effective response, He said police could have arrived

:11:40.:11:42.

here in minutes with everything they needed

:11:43.:11:47.

to confront the gunman. Instead, they deliberately

:11:48.:11:50.

delayed their arrival. The first officer on the scene

:11:51.:11:54.

stayed outside the main gate that the police

:11:55.:11:57.

were nowhere to be seen. he was on the beach

:11:58.:12:10.

selling rides on jetskis. Here he is chasing the killer,

:12:11.:12:15.

armed only with two ashtrays, TRANSLATION: No-one came, apart

:12:16.:12:22.

from the two guards who did nothing. Then when we ran along

:12:23.:12:31.

the beach over there, there were three national guard

:12:32.:12:35.

boats in the sea. They didn't come until afterwards,

:12:36.:12:37.

when he was killed. At the Riu Imperial Hotel, where

:12:38.:12:44.

the gunman claimed so many lives, they are getting ready

:12:45.:12:49.

to reopen in May, hoping tourists will return

:12:50.:12:51.

to the golden sands. Sunbathers now have

:12:52.:12:59.

company on the beach - for 30 Britons robbed

:13:00.:13:01.

of life on this shore. The day's other main story

:13:02.:13:08.

is that the former owner of BHS, Sir Philip Green,

:13:09.:13:16.

has agreed to pay ?363 million to help fund the gap

:13:17.:13:19.

in the company's pension scheme. The collapse of BHS last year

:13:20.:13:21.

left 19,000 former staff facing the loss of their pensions,

:13:22.:13:25.

and Sir Philip was heavily criticised for his management

:13:26.:13:28.

of the company while the pension deficit

:13:29.:13:30.

grew significantly. Our business editor, Simon Jack,

:13:31.:13:34.

has more details. Last summer, Sir Philip Green

:13:35.:13:37.

made the BHS pensioners a promise. We will sort it,

:13:38.:13:42.

we will find a solution, and I want to give an assurance

:13:43.:13:45.

to the 20,000 pensioners, um, What he was promising to sort

:13:46.:13:49.

was leaving thousands of pensioners short-changed after BHS collapsed,

:13:50.:13:55.

having been sold by Sir Philip a year earlier to a twice-bankrupt

:13:56.:13:59.

retailing novice for just ?1. He has agreed to pay ?363 million

:14:00.:14:05.

of his own money estimated on some measures

:14:06.:14:09.

to be ?571 million deep. So this settlement

:14:10.:14:17.

is not enough to give 19,000 pensioners

:14:18.:14:19.

their full entitlement, but it's better than they would have

:14:20.:14:21.

got in the industry rescue fund. The ordinary members

:14:22.:14:24.

of the pension scheme, there are 19,000, 20,000 of them,

:14:25.:14:26.

do OK out of this, They're slightly better off

:14:27.:14:28.

than they would be by staying in the Pension Protection Fund,

:14:29.:14:34.

but it's at the margin. Anne Bostock worked

:14:35.:14:39.

at BHS for 42 years. but she thinks it could have been

:14:40.:14:42.

sorted out much sooner. I think he should have

:14:43.:14:46.

done it straightaway. He should have been,

:14:47.:14:51.

you know, no questions asked, "I've been found out,

:14:52.:14:53.

I'll sort it." That dark stain you can see

:14:54.:14:58.

up there is all that is left of BHS's flagship store

:14:59.:15:01.

here on Oxford Street, but the debate about the pensions

:15:02.:15:04.

mess left behind, the corporate culture that allowed it

:15:05.:15:07.

all to happen, and Sir Philip Green's

:15:08.:15:10.

behaviour has raged on. Now, he'll be hoping this settlement

:15:11.:15:13.

puts that all behind him. Others will see today

:15:14.:15:16.

as a very significant Sir Philip was vilified

:15:17.:15:19.

by the public and politicians who saw him as a mascot

:15:20.:15:26.

for corporate greed. Today his critic in chief issued

:15:27.:15:29.

this grudging acknowledgement. in getting justice for pensioners

:15:30.:15:33.

and workers at BHS. Pensioners have got a better deal

:15:34.:15:40.

than they would have done - they haven't got everything -

:15:41.:15:43.

but there's a long way to go in the inquiries before

:15:44.:15:46.

Sir Philip Green This settlement was voluntary,

:15:47.:15:48.

but he was being pursued vigorously by regulators,

:15:49.:15:54.

who will now stand down. 363 million is just over

:15:55.:15:58.

10% of his net worth - for his reputation

:15:59.:16:02.

and his knighthood. Whether he can keep either

:16:03.:16:07.

is still not, in his words, sorted. Simon is with me. Sir Philip Green

:16:08.:16:20.

has been vilified for months. Are people today prepared, even

:16:21.:16:24.

grudgingly, to give him credit for this? A little bit of credit. He has

:16:25.:16:28.

always said he would do something to help the pensioners who were

:16:29.:16:30.

shortchanged when the company collapsed. He has done that. He's

:16:31.:16:35.

improved it a bit. The real winners here will be the highly paid staff,

:16:36.:16:41.

his lieutenants back in the day who would have seen their pensions

:16:42.:16:47.

capped at ?30,000. That will no longer apply it is not going into

:16:48.:16:51.

the pension protection fund. The regulator will see it as feather in

:16:52.:16:56.

their cap. They are establishing a precedent to go after a rich former

:16:57.:17:05.

owner to make good of shortchanged promiseses on the pension front. We

:17:06.:17:09.

had advisers on this deal waving through what everyone realised was a

:17:10.:17:13.

doomed transaction to sell it, it will be interesting to see what

:17:14.:17:17.

lessons the Government learns. They are currently drafting proposals on

:17:18.:17:22.

changing the way companies around corporate governance rules. It's

:17:23.:17:26.

interesting to see how many lessons they will learn when they draft

:17:27.:17:34.

those proposals in March. Thank you. Simon Jack there, our Business

:17:35.:17:36.

Editor. A brief look at some of the day's

:17:37.:17:38.

other other news stories. A 21-year-old man from Cardiff has

:17:39.:17:41.

been jailed for life for stabbing his former girlfriend

:17:42.:17:44.

and her partner to death. Andrew Saunders launched the attack

:17:45.:17:46.

early one morning in September last year outside a city centre store

:17:47.:17:49.

where the couple worked. He was said to have spent weeks

:17:50.:17:51.

planning the murders. Staff from Southern Rail,

:17:52.:17:54.

Arriva Rail North and Merseyrail are expected to go on strike

:17:55.:17:55.

on the same day, March 13th, in a dispute over the future

:17:56.:17:59.

of guards on trains. The RMT union opposes

:18:00.:18:01.

plans to introduce Union officials say the move will

:18:02.:18:03.

make services potentially dangerous. In Malaysia, two women are due

:18:04.:18:08.

in court tomorrow to be charged with the murder of the half-brother

:18:09.:18:11.

of North Korea's leader. The women allegedly smeared a deadly

:18:12.:18:15.

chemical over Kim Jong-nam's face They could face the death

:18:16.:18:18.

penalty if convicted. The senior police officer,

:18:19.:18:28.

who takes the lead on issues of child protection,

:18:29.:18:30.

has suggested that people caught viewing indecent images of children

:18:31.:18:32.

should not always face were overwhelmed by

:18:33.:18:34.

the scale of the problem and he said police should focus

:18:35.:19:00.

on the most dangerous paedophiles. Mr Bailey has been speaking

:19:01.:19:03.

to our home editor, Mark Easton. Saying the unsayable,

:19:04.:19:05.

the Chief Constable who believes paedophiles who view images of child

:19:06.:19:07.

sexual abuse should not Simon Bailey argues,

:19:08.:19:10.

with resources stretched, those deemed to pose a very low-risk

:19:11.:19:12.

of physically abusing children might simply be arrested,

:19:13.:19:15.

monitored and rehabilitated rather We are arresting 400 men every month

:19:16.:19:17.

for viewing indecent We are safeguarding 500

:19:18.:19:20.

children every single month, but we are dealing with the tip

:19:21.:19:23.

of the iceberg. The public will say

:19:24.:19:26.

it's not robust enough. If this is the tip of the iceberg,

:19:27.:19:27.

let's get the iceberg? Right, but I can't -

:19:28.:19:30.

I don't have the resources to get What I'm advocating is a proposal

:19:31.:19:33.

that still manages the risk, Police chiefs fear new and

:19:34.:19:37.

historical child abuse cases 70,000 investigations in a single

:19:38.:19:40.

year, an estimated annual policing cost of ?1 billion and even then

:19:41.:19:44.

just touching the surface, with analysis suggesting half

:19:45.:19:46.

a million people in England and Wales have illegally viewed

:19:47.:19:49.

images of child sexual abuse. How can you be sure that somebody

:19:50.:19:56.

who is at home looking at vile pictures of child abuse is not,

:19:57.:19:59.

the next day, going to go And I can't be

:20:00.:20:02.

absolutely sure, but... Well then, arrest

:20:03.:20:05.

them, deal with them? As I've demonstrated,

:20:06.:20:06.

400 every month is more than any other law enforcement

:20:07.:20:10.

agency is doing, I believe, I have to balance our resources

:20:11.:20:13.

against the whole of the risk. Police in Sussex already visit some

:20:14.:20:20.

outrageous to even suggest such I think it was an incredibly

unhelpful, I would go as far as to say, almost dangerous thing

:20:32.:20:41.

to say, that people who abuse children or who view images and thus

pay others to abuse children The Home Office has distanced itself

abuse online, are committed. Britain is beginning to realise just

:21:01.:21:04.

how huge a problem the sexual abuse of children has been

:21:05.:21:08.

and continues to be. Now even those charged charged

with protecting children admit we cannot simply arrest our way

Donald Trump will address members of Congress for the first time

since he became President, an event broadcast in prime-time,

:21:47.:21:49.

when he's expected to discuss some of the challenges facing

:21:50.:21:51.

his new administration. He came to power promising

:21:52.:21:54.

to repair what he called the "carnage" in America -

:21:55.:22:00.

crime, drugs, gangs and poverty. Our international correspondent,

:22:01.:22:05.

Ian Pannell, reports where a quarter of the population

:22:06.:22:07.

lives in poverty, according to official figures, to assess

:22:08.:22:10.

the scale of the challenge. Say hello to Jackson,

:22:11.:22:14.

a citizen of the wealthiest country the world has ever known,

:22:15.:22:16.

and yet he's clothed in handouts. They have no home of their own

:22:17.:22:22.

and every morning they come to the Manor House charity

:22:23.:22:28.

where the poor of Baltimore meet for a little food,

:22:29.:22:31.

warmth and compassion. What is your message

:22:32.:22:33.

to President Trump? Instead of critiquing

:22:34.:22:35.

us, come help us and you will see we need

:22:36.:22:41.

help - bad. Like much of America,

:22:42.:22:47.

this is a story of two worlds. Baltimore is actually something

:22:48.:22:51.

of a boom town these days, but it doesn't feel like it in many

:22:52.:22:53.

parts of the city. In this economy, there

:22:54.:22:57.

is no trickle down. Baltimore was even more violent

:22:58.:23:01.

than Chicago last year, For some of its residents,

:23:02.:23:07.

this is a city where selling your body or selling drugs

:23:08.:23:15.

is the only job available. If you want to know

:23:16.:23:20.

what poverty in America looks Incredibly, this entire block

:23:21.:23:22.

here is pretty much made up Incredibly, some people are still

:23:23.:23:26.

living in between this, though. Under President Obama poverty grew

:23:27.:23:36.

in America and President Trump says He's going to deal what he calls

:23:37.:23:38.

the "carnage" in America of crime, of drugs, of gangs, of violence

:23:39.:23:43.

and of poverty. Well, there are few places better

:23:44.:23:47.

to try and do that than Baltimore. Marcus Allsop has lived here for 40

:23:48.:23:59.

years, he repairs the city's homes, an eyewitness to the worst Baltimore

:24:00.:24:03.

has to offer. The poor living are in the single

:24:04.:24:05.

houses, the real houses in Baltimore city where they're generally rat

:24:06.:24:08.

invested regardless of what you do Roaches, mice, I mean,

:24:09.:24:10.

an epidemic in bed bugs. I mean, the neighbourhoods

:24:11.:24:15.

are falling apart, not because the people are bad people,

:24:16.:24:17.

we're underpaid, undereducated and so many of us have been living

:24:18.:24:22.

like this for the second and third generation until we don't

:24:23.:24:26.

even know how to change. This is where it resides,

:24:27.:24:28.

on a bleak row of abandoned homes. This is the end of the line

:24:29.:24:45.

for Americans gripped by poverty. Here we met the last family

:24:46.:24:48.

living on the block. Three generations of the Stewart

:24:49.:24:51.

family are crammed in here. They're months behind on the rent,

:24:52.:24:53.

unpaid bills are piling up. Not surprising, when they have just

:24:54.:24:56.

$30 a day to survive. I love you, be careful.

Have a good day. They've been evicted before,

want to show their faces outside, but we had no choice but to live

:25:25.:25:33.

there because of the economy. I'm struggling for seven

:25:34.:25:40.

years, seven, hard years. What pressure does that put

:25:41.:25:45.

on your relationship together? Oh, we argue and fight

:25:46.:25:48.

all the time, all the time. I love this woman to death,

:25:49.:25:50.

she's my best friend, but to see her go through the things

:25:51.:25:55.

she goes through, it hurts me. For so many people, this is no

longer a land of opportunity, The children who clamour for charity

:25:59.:26:10.

handouts have no American dream. It will be perhaps the greatest

:26:11.:26:17.

challenge for the new President. So ahead of the President's address,

:26:18.:26:20.

let's join our North America editor, The inauguration address was notable

:26:21.:26:45.

for its bleakness of its vision, the talk of carnage. Are you expecting

:26:46.:26:49.

the same tonight? No, I don't think we will hear the word of carnage at

all it will be optimistic, talking about the renewal of the American

:26:55.:26:57.

spirit and what can be done when the American people come together. It

:26:58.:27:01.

will be an appeal for unity as well. Conciliatory in tone. We know the

:27:02.:27:05.

things that Donald Trump wants to do. He was to massively increase

:27:06.:27:11.

defence spending. He wants to preserve Medicare policies and

:27:12.:27:13.

social security payments for the elderly. What we don't know what is

:27:14.:27:17.

on the other side of that sheet, where will the axe fall? What are

:27:18.:27:21.

the things he is going to cut? He's not going to get the support of

:27:22.:27:24.

Republicans if they sense that the deficit is going to increase. That

:27:25.:27:28.

said, Donald Trump says the way you do this is you r rev up the economy

:27:29.:27:33.

and increase growth. He wants to put in place the policies that will

:27:34.:27:37.

allow that to happen. There are all sorts of things where he has big

:27:38.:27:41.

difficulties. He wants to cut the Tate Department budget. Over 100

:27:42.:27:45.

Generals said, don't do that, you can't afford to do that. Obamacare,

:27:53.:27:55.

easiest thing to replace it and make it a lot cheaper. President Trump

:27:56.:28:01.

last night admitted it's turning out to be fiendishly complicated.

:28:02.:28:03.

Withhold knew that? One other thing, Huw, it has been a month which has

:28:04.:28:07.

been shambolic at times. What he needs to do is that he can turn
