:00:14. > :00:19.President Trump's second travel ban is blocked by the US courts. The
:00:20. > :00:24.White House say they are not done yet. We will fight this and take our
:00:25. > :00:31.case as far as it needs to go, including all the way to the Supreme
:00:32. > :00:34.Court. An explosion amount and provide a terrifying moment for
:00:35. > :00:46.those caught in it, including a BBC camera crew. And it was road trip
:00:47. > :00:48.streamed live for all to see. We speak to the West Congressman's
:00:49. > :01:05.jumps in the car for quite an adventure complete with snacks.
:01:06. > :01:11.Welcome to world news America. It was quite a day here in Washington
:01:12. > :01:14.as duelling stories fought for the lead. First there was a fallout from
:01:15. > :01:18.two cause blocking the President's vice travel ban from taking effect
:01:19. > :01:21.and then came the White House Budget which laid out his priorities for
:01:22. > :01:24.the year ahead and what is on the chopping block and to top it off,
:01:25. > :01:29.the Senate intelligence committee said in a statement there was no
:01:30. > :01:33.indication that Trump Towers was the subject of surveillance of the
:01:34. > :01:34.current president has claimed. Our north American editor followed it
:01:35. > :01:49.all for us. Saint Patrick's Day is being
:01:50. > :01:58.celebrated, but all water does not seem to be enjoying the luck as the
:01:59. > :02:03.-- of the Irish. Last night, the president gave an interview in which
:02:04. > :02:07.he stood by the claim. Wiretap covers a lot of things. I think you
:02:08. > :02:13.will find some interesting items coming to the forefront over the
:02:14. > :02:16.next fortnight. Today, the Senate intelligence committee flatly
:02:17. > :02:20.contradicted him. Based on the information available to us, we see
:02:21. > :02:23.no indication that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any
:02:24. > :02:25.element of the United States Government, either before or after
:02:26. > :02:37.election day 2016. And last night in Nashville,
:02:38. > :02:40.Tennessee, with just hours to go before his second attempt at a
:02:41. > :02:45.travel ban was to come into effect, bad news. A judge in Hawaii blocked
:02:46. > :02:51.the measure again and the frustrated Mr Trump let rip. We will fight this
:02:52. > :02:58.terrible ruling and take our case as far as it needs to go, including all
:02:59. > :03:07.the way to the Supreme Court. We are going to win, we are going to keep
:03:08. > :03:10.our citizens safe. The Banff on the six mainly Muslim countries are
:03:11. > :03:14.strong support among the people who cheered the president to the rafters
:03:15. > :03:18.last night. The governing in America requires you to work within the
:03:19. > :03:22.checks and balances of the US Constitution and then may be similar
:03:23. > :03:26.battles to come over the President's Budget which was unveiled today. It
:03:27. > :03:31.proposes a big boost to spending for the Armed Forces and border
:03:32. > :03:35.security. But major cuts to overseas aid and the environment and the
:03:36. > :03:40.Democrats say domestic programmes which help the most vulnerable. He
:03:41. > :03:44.throws billions at defence while ransacking America's investment and
:03:45. > :03:49.jobs, education innovation, clean energy and life-saving medical
:03:50. > :03:54.research. It will lead our nation we can. No one can accuse President
:03:55. > :03:56.Trump of not being Tuesday's election promises. But turning an
:03:57. > :04:03.easy campaign pledge into something more concrete is turning out to be
:04:04. > :04:06.extremely difficult. His most eye-catching proposals are stuck in
:04:07. > :04:24.thick, judicial and legislative mode. -- mud. I spoke earlier with
:04:25. > :04:28.the associate editor... How does President Trump get the travel ban
:04:29. > :04:35.which is now the block for the second time out of the mud? It is a
:04:36. > :04:40.quandary for them. They hope this one would pass legal muster and we
:04:41. > :04:43.saw before it even took effect at midnight a judge blocking it, so it
:04:44. > :04:49.is a big blow to them and back to the drawing board to see how they
:04:50. > :04:53.can fight this in the courts. If it does ultimately go to the Supreme
:04:54. > :04:56.Court, it is interesting the judges that ruled last night and today,
:04:57. > :05:02.they were using the administration's own words against them? Yes, so as
:05:03. > :05:14.not even the text of the original travel bag but the media reports --
:05:15. > :05:19.the original travel ban. Those judges have used all of that
:05:20. > :05:22.peripheral commentary to explain their decisions. If we turn to the
:05:23. > :05:28.claim of a president that Trump Tower was wiretapped during the
:05:29. > :05:32.election by his predecessor, today we have the Senate intelligence
:05:33. > :05:33.committee said they do not see any indications about that following
:05:34. > :05:39.from the house intelligence committee. Where does the president
:05:40. > :05:44.now have to go with his claim? We saw them pushing back and saying
:05:45. > :05:48.there are multiple examples of wiretapping. The really, there's
:05:49. > :05:51.some equivocation, because it is clear the President's tweeds earlier
:05:52. > :05:56.this month accusing President Obama of literally wiretapping Trump
:05:57. > :06:01.Tower, he has since walked away from that claim, but does not want to
:06:02. > :06:05.admit they were wrong and so we will see where it goes from here. But the
:06:06. > :06:08.Senate and house panels agree they've seen no evidence from that
:06:09. > :06:14.and we are still waiting to see evidence from the White House. Seems
:06:15. > :06:17.like a self-inflicted wound. What is it into the President's political
:06:18. > :06:27.Capital One is transpersonal health care? The a lot of pressure on the
:06:28. > :06:30.White House for health care reform and any distraction might be good
:06:31. > :06:40.for them because they're so much pressure. But the wiretapping is not
:06:41. > :06:44.good for them. The unveiling of the Budget today, what does that tell us
:06:45. > :06:50.about the administration's priorities? As we saw today, it was
:06:51. > :06:52.described as an America first Budget and trying to stay close to what the
:06:53. > :06:59.president proposed throughout the campaign. It brings a lot of deep
:07:00. > :07:04.cuts to a lot of major departments. That translates into billions of
:07:05. > :07:08.dollars that they would like to see taken out of his federal agencies.
:07:09. > :07:11.At the same time, lawmakers traditionally propose their own
:07:12. > :07:15.Budget and is usually just serves as a guidance for lawmakers to signal
:07:16. > :07:23.the Republicans come out and say they are not going with it. Thank
:07:24. > :07:26.you. As we just, that Budget proposes major cuts to the
:07:27. > :07:30.Environmental Protection Agency. It put a spotlight on administration's
:07:31. > :07:39.controversial approach to climate change. The southern coast of
:07:40. > :07:44.Florida has long been America's playground. The destination for
:07:45. > :07:50.millions of tourists each year. The waterfront home of some of the most
:07:51. > :07:55.prized real estate in the country. But the Sunshine State has become a
:07:56. > :07:58.gorgeous front line in the fight against global warming. Rising sea
:07:59. > :08:03.waters and recurring flooding risks turning Miami Beach into a modern
:08:04. > :08:08.day at Atlantis, a city submerged by water. Even on sunny days, it can
:08:09. > :08:13.get inundated because of seasonal tides bring in the oceans are
:08:14. > :08:19.people's doorsteps. So much of it now is a construction site. The city
:08:20. > :08:25.'s building pumping stations are raising roads. Miami Beach will
:08:26. > :08:28.disappear. We don't sell that all these people building new houses and
:08:29. > :08:33.apartments legs they do not want to hear it. They are in denial. This
:08:34. > :08:37.local resident gave us a tour of the newly built flood defences which
:08:38. > :08:41.scientists fear will be obsolete in just a few decades. The US on the
:08:42. > :08:46.project levels could rise at five feet by the end of this century, but
:08:47. > :08:50.America's new Commander in Chief is a climate change denier. Our
:08:51. > :08:57.so-called president thinks it is a Chinese hoax. I can't believe it. I
:08:58. > :09:02.live right in the middle of climate change every day. We also affected
:09:03. > :09:07.here. How dare the leader of this great country say does not exist? It
:09:08. > :09:12.is impossible to get me thinking this way. And the people around him
:09:13. > :09:17.cannot be thinking this way. Just up the coast to the President's luxury
:09:18. > :09:23.mansion. Because of the Winter White House, but it is also a climate
:09:24. > :09:26.change at ground zero. Donald Trump has repeatedly rejected the science
:09:27. > :09:31.of climate change. Even though it is estimated that over the coming
:09:32. > :09:38.decades, rising sea waters could inundate a quarter of his very own
:09:39. > :09:45.luxury Estates. Florida went for Donald Trump at the election and
:09:46. > :09:52.just 25% of those who vote him believe climate change is caused by
:09:53. > :09:57.human activity. Supporters like Barbara Grossman agree 100% with the
:09:58. > :10:03.president. The sea level is so minute it can't even count. When you
:10:04. > :10:10.go to Miami Beach, they are being flooded regularly. Well, maybe it's
:10:11. > :10:15.thinking with all those high risers. That is my guess, but what do I
:10:16. > :10:23.know? I do think it has anything to do with climate change. -- I do not
:10:24. > :10:27.think. Miami ranks second in assets and the water level they are rising
:10:28. > :10:33.and nearly ten times the average worldwide rate. The politics of
:10:34. > :10:39.climate change in America is by no means as clear-cut as the science.
:10:40. > :10:48.Florida demonstrates that you can deny its very existence and still
:10:49. > :10:53.reach the White House. Even the winter White House is at risk from
:10:54. > :10:56.rising sea levels. Well, from the environment or diplomacy, US
:10:57. > :11:00.Secretary of State Rex Tillotson is currently on a tour of Asia. He
:11:01. > :11:04.declare that 20 years of diplomacy has failed to get North Korea to
:11:05. > :11:08.scrap its nuclear programme. In Japan, he said a new approach in
:11:09. > :11:18.tackling it is needed but has not specify what that may be. -- has not
:11:19. > :11:22.specified what that may be. These sorts of international meetings
:11:23. > :11:26.between diplomats are usually pretty anodyne. Anything interesting is
:11:27. > :11:32.only said one of the cameras are kicked out. But at his press
:11:33. > :11:35.conference today, Rex Tillotson was refreshingly blunt in his assessment
:11:36. > :11:40.of attempts to stop North Korea from getting nuclear weapons. Is
:11:41. > :11:46.important to recognise that the diplomatic and other efforts of the
:11:47. > :11:53.past 20 years to bring North Korea to a point of denuclearisation have
:11:54. > :12:01.failed. We have 20 years of failed approach. Rex Tillotson is white --
:12:02. > :12:05.right. 20 years ago they had no nuclear weapons today, it has a
:12:06. > :12:11.whole family of missiles, including one may be capable of hitting
:12:12. > :12:14.Alaska. More worrying still, it has carried out five nuclear test and be
:12:15. > :12:19.on the cause of a nuclear warhead to put on those missiles. The question
:12:20. > :12:27.remains, what can be done to stop them? Last month, North Korea
:12:28. > :12:32.launched this, it's most advanced missile to date, capable of being
:12:33. > :12:34.fired without warning. The country's young dictator appears utterly
:12:35. > :12:39.undeterred by the threat of more sanctions. But his ever more
:12:40. > :12:44.spectacular missile test are destabilising this region. This
:12:45. > :12:48.week, South Korea began allowing the US to deploy this. It's most
:12:49. > :12:55.advanced anti-missile system. In Japan, the Prime Minister knows his
:12:56. > :13:04.country is equally vulnerable. He may soon be asking his US ally to do
:13:05. > :13:06.the same here. Blood speak in their honour North Korea from the new
:13:07. > :13:11.administration. In other news now from around the world, is suspected
:13:12. > :13:14.letter bomb was exploded at the headquarters of the International

:17:31. > :17:35.never really interested in astronomical but I always loved
:17:36. > :17:39.science and maths. But when I was doing this I joined a group of us on
:17:40. > :17:45.us and we went to schools and we taught basic sciences. I was taken
:17:46. > :17:52.back to my days in school and I wish that someone had,, or a group, and
:17:53. > :18:10.talked me about science. I want to give kids the opportunity I mist. --

:19:02. > :19:05.take a look. Tattoo was all the rage nowadays. There is more choice than
:19:06. > :19:23.ever. Back in the late 1970s, this tattoo
:19:24. > :19:27.is made his living that doing punk rockers. Now he's taking part in a
:19:28. > :19:32.museum exhibition celebrating his artform. The perception as change,
:19:33. > :19:40.because there is so much fantastic artwork out there. There is every
:19:41. > :19:43.genre and subjects covered now, there's so much beautiful stuff.
:19:44. > :19:49.There is not the stigma like they used to be attached to it. It is
:19:50. > :19:54.this shift in the perception that the exhibition charts as well as
:19:55. > :19:57.taking what the curators feel our common misconceptions. We start with
:19:58. > :20:00.the spelling the myth that Captain Cook brought tattoo ink back to
:20:01. > :20:04.Britain. It is people have been having tattoo was for hundreds of
:20:05. > :20:08.years, we see evidence of that in the pilgrim tattoo was that people
:20:09. > :20:10.were going to have in the Middle East were going to have in the
:20:11. > :20:14.Middle East whenever going on pilgrimages in the 16 's. This is
:20:15. > :20:20.one of my favourite parts of the exhibition. We are trying to
:20:21. > :20:32.challenge the idea that that it is gender or class specific.
:20:33. > :20:41.It must've been hard to tattoo and it was predominantly a man's world
:20:42. > :20:45.even in the 20s and 30s. But her art is so beautiful and has a feminine
:20:46. > :20:49.quality to it. The exhibition finishes with 100 hands. It is a
:20:50. > :20:56.snapshot of what is happening in Britain and I think it shows the
:20:57. > :21:01.diversity, but also the true beauty and artistic quality of tattoo art
:21:02. > :21:05.nowadays. Not everybody would agree with that, tattoo is still
:21:06. > :21:08.contentious. Some see them as a symbol of moral decline, which this
:21:09. > :21:13.is a division seeks to altar by presenting them as an exhibition of
:21:14. > :21:17.artistic sensibility. Mine was not a real tattoo, of course, and he said
:21:18. > :21:30.if I just rub it with this, it will come... Now to the road trip which
:21:31. > :21:34.reached across the political divide. When tee-macro Congressman from
:21:35. > :21:37.Texas, a Republican and Democrat had their travel plans ruined by this
:21:38. > :21:42.week's blizzard, they jumped in a car together and drove 16 and miles
:21:43. > :21:47.to the nation's capital. It was streamed live and gained quite a
:21:48. > :21:58.following. Fresh from their trip, they spoke to our reporter. Just
:21:59. > :22:08.days ago, these men were mere acquaintances, political rivals.
:22:09. > :22:12.This road trip as a result of the bipartisan relationship. Part of the
:22:13. > :22:18.drama of this was will we get there in time, we only have 36 hours and
:22:19. > :22:24.two, will we get along with each other? They drove through the night,
:22:25. > :22:32.catching the attention of a divided nation. I need to sleep, but I can't
:22:33. > :22:36.turn this off. They live stream that their debate, taking questions on
:22:37. > :22:49.health care, border control, the threat of terrorism, a town hall on
:22:50. > :22:58.wheels. There were singalongs... And donors. A whole lot of doughnuts.
:22:59. > :23:09.They also took the deeds, including to the gates Graceland. When you see
:23:10. > :23:17.there is a Congressman and has a lot of interesting things about music or
:23:18. > :23:24.someone who likes to eat doughnuts. I'm not a big doughnut eater really,
:23:25. > :23:30.I just like... This is the high-tech map I worked last night. I'm
:23:31. > :23:35.supposed to be the cyber security guy we could not work the camera
:23:36. > :23:47.properly or the speaker. I think that kind of humanised the entire
:23:48. > :23:50.institution. As they raced to Washington, DC, thousands tuned and
:23:51. > :23:54.phoned every travel advice to help them make it in time for the vote in
:23:55. > :24:02.Congress. I'm still disappointed you thought we wouldn't get here on
:24:03. > :24:11.time. Everybody, we made it! We have plenty of time. No, we did not. But
:24:12. > :24:19.can this burgeoning partnership work in Washington? Don't be afraid to
:24:20. > :24:26.reach and go beyond what you've always talked about and what we
:24:27. > :24:27.think about is eight Democrat or a Republican and America will reward
:24:28. > :24:41.you for that. The bipartisan relationship there.
:24:42. > :24:52.Made it be able to change the culture here in Washington. Thank
:24:53. > :24:53.you for
