0:00:16 > 0:00:19Pointing the finger at Moscow, the Prime Minister says a nerve agent
0:00:19 > 0:00:22was used to poison a former Russian spy in the UK.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30White House backs away from raising the age limit for buying guns,
0:00:30 > 0:00:37Democrats accuse the president of caving in to the NRA. His clothes
0:00:37 > 0:00:42were the stuff of movie magic and fashion show fantasies, French
0:00:42 > 0:00:47designer Givenchy has died at the age of 91.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Welcome to our viewers on public television here in the US and around
0:01:02 > 0:01:06the globe. The UK Prime Minister says it is highly likely that Russia
0:01:06 > 0:01:10was behind the poisoning of a former spy in Britain, speaking in
0:01:10 > 0:01:13parliament, Theresa May said that Sergei Skripal and his daughter were
0:01:13 > 0:01:17attacked with a nerve agent, irrelevant by the Soviet military.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Moscow denies any involvement. The White House called the attack
0:01:21 > 0:01:27reckless. The dramatic correspondent James Landau has more.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Today, police continued to examines all three home of Sergei Skripal,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34more than one week after the former Russian intelligence officer and his
0:01:34 > 0:01:45daughter were attacked with a nerve agent.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53So, this morning ministers gathered for a
0:01:53 > 0:01:55meeting of the National Security Council, looking for answers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57An update on the investigation from the
0:01:57 > 0:02:00police and intelligence services that would allow them and the Prime
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Minister to decide what steps to take next.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04For some days ministers have been pushing Theresa May for
0:02:04 > 0:02:05tougher response.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07This afternoon she was clear who she thought was
0:02:07 > 0:02:09responsible, and what they should do.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It is now clear that Mr Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with
0:02:12 > 0:02:14a military grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It is part of a group of nerve agents known as Novichok.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Based on the analysis of world leading experts
0:02:19 > 0:02:20at Porton Down,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22our knowledge that Russia has previously produced this agent
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and would still be capable of doing so,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26the Government has concluded that it
0:02:26 > 0:02:28is highly likely that Russia was responsible for the act against
0:02:28 > 0:02:38Sergei and Yulia Skripal.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40She said the Foreign Secretary had summoned
0:02:40 > 0:02:44the Russian ambassador and told him he had
0:02:44 > 0:02:47until the end of tomorrow to explain whether this was a direct
0:02:47 > 0:02:49act by the Russian state or by
0:02:49 > 0:02:59others who now control the nerve agent.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Mr Speaker, this attempted murder using a weapons grade nerve agent
0:03:06 > 0:03:09in a British town was not just a crime against the Skripals,
0:03:09 > 0:03:10it was an indiscriminate and reckless act against
0:03:10 > 0:03:12the United Kingdom, putting the lives of
0:03:12 > 0:03:13innocent civilians at risk.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16And we will not tolerate such a brazen attempt to murder
0:03:16 > 0:03:17in innocent civilians on our soil.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19The Labour leader called for tougher sanctions
0:03:19 > 0:03:20on oligarchs living in London.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We need to continue seeking a robust dialogue with Russia
0:03:23 > 0:03:25on all the issues currently dividing our country is,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26both domestic and international.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Rather than simply cutting off contact and letting the tensions
0:03:28 > 0:03:29and divisions get worse.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34and divisions get worse.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40Earlier today, before the statement,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44President Putin was visiting an agricultural centre
0:03:44 > 0:03:47in southern Russia
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and dismissed a question from the BBC's Steve Rosenberg.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51President Putin, BBC News, is Russia behind the poisoning
0:03:51 > 0:03:54of Sergei Skripal?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56TRANSLATION:We are dealing with agriculture here, as you see,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59to create conditions for people's lives, and you talk to me
0:03:59 > 0:04:00about some tragedies.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03First get to the bottom of it there and then we will discuss this.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05But now that Russia has been blamed officially
0:04:05 > 0:04:07for what happened in Salisbury, it has 24 hours to
0:04:07 > 0:04:09decide how to respond.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Earlier, Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg explained why officials in
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Moscow don't seem too concerned about the Prime Minister's
0:04:29 > 0:04:34accusation.Biggest problem the British government faces here is the
0:04:34 > 0:04:38way it is perceived by the Kremlin, it is perceived as pretty weak.
0:04:38 > 0:04:46Britain is perceived as quite weak. Here, politicians criticising
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Russia, huffing and puffing, but the politicians do not believe that
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Britain will blow the house down and take strong measures against Moscow
0:04:55 > 0:04:59so the key question is, if, come Wednesday, Britain and improve this
0:04:59 > 0:05:04was an act of state-sponsored force by Russia, what kind of measures
0:05:04 > 0:05:09will Britain, together with our allies, take against Moscow?Steve
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Rosenberg
0:05:11 > 0:05:12reporting from Moscow.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Another twist in the debate over gun regulation here in the US, with
0:05:15 > 0:05:19President Trump putting off action on raising the minimum age for
0:05:19 > 0:05:23buying guns. This was an idea that he championed after the school
0:05:23 > 0:05:28shooting in Florida. Now the one White House wants to fund programmes
0:05:28 > 0:05:32to train school staff to use firearms, encourage military
0:05:32 > 0:05:35veterans and retired police to become teachers and improved
0:05:35 > 0:05:40background and mental health checks. For more on this we spoke with a
0:05:40 > 0:05:46national political correspondent for the Hill.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51The president seems to have backed away from the idea of raising the
0:05:51 > 0:05:54minimum age at which you can purchase a gun, how does the White
0:05:54 > 0:05:58House explain this evolving position.Great question, almost a
0:05:58 > 0:06:02month since the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, president
0:06:02 > 0:06:05initially talked about tough measures he wanted to take to defy
0:06:05 > 0:06:09the NRA, the White House today were stepping back and saying, the
0:06:09 > 0:06:12president has not given up on any of those initiatives but he just wants
0:06:12 > 0:06:18to study them.Interesting, the president himself a few weeks ago
0:06:18 > 0:06:22was accusing politicians of running scared from the NRA. He himself has
0:06:22 > 0:06:26had several meetings with the NRA recently, have they had an impact?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30They definitely had an impact, the president has met at least twice
0:06:30 > 0:06:34with representatives of the NRA, initially publicly was saying wanted
0:06:34 > 0:06:37to be tough and take a leadership role on guns, they talked with him
0:06:37 > 0:06:44privately about the politics of this, their own positions on this
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and gun control, and Republicans on Capitol Hill also were very
0:06:47 > 0:06:50instrumental in discouraging the president from thinking in a
0:06:50 > 0:06:53mid-term election year that this would be in any way profitable for
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Republicans running for re-election. The fact is now, we don't have a
0:06:57 > 0:07:01discussion about restrictions on gun ownership, it is all about mental
0:07:01 > 0:07:07health and school safety.And hardening schools, hardening the
0:07:07 > 0:07:11actual infrastructure of schools, as you pointed out, by saying, that was
0:07:11 > 0:07:14the lead item from the White House today, the United States need to
0:07:14 > 0:07:20make schools much more guarded and at guns to the school setting, where
0:07:20 > 0:07:25students are learning. We know that is very controversial and yet the
0:07:25 > 0:07:30president is very supportive and not surprisingly the NRA is too.Without
0:07:30 > 0:07:34the Florida School shooting survivors planning a huge march on
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Washington next week, they have called for gun restrictions, also
0:07:39 > 0:07:43something that polling suggests Americans back too, so this is going
0:07:43 > 0:07:47to be a political issue in the run-up to the mid-term.Yes, but we
0:07:47 > 0:07:51know there is some Democrats running in states that President Trump won
0:07:51 > 0:07:56in 2016 who are nervous about the idea of being tough on guns, both
0:07:56 > 0:08:00parties have hesitations about this. The young people who have been very
0:08:00 > 0:08:04affected and motivated by the mass shooting in Florida are mobilising.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The other element that is interesting, the White House is
0:08:07 > 0:08:13referring to states. Borrowed acted on legislation can signed by a
0:08:13 > 0:08:18conservative Republican governor. Background checks, how much stronger
0:08:18 > 0:08:23with baby, would they cover gun shows under what the White House is
0:08:23 > 0:08:26proposing?No, the legislation talked about on Capitol Hill will be
0:08:26 > 0:08:31voluntary on the state of -- part of states, to add additional
0:08:31 > 0:08:34information to the testing database, does not come close to being
0:08:34 > 0:08:38universal background checks.Hank you very much for joining us.Thank
0:08:38 > 0:08:41you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Guns are not such a divisive issue in western Pennsylvania, voters head
0:08:45 > 0:08:49to the polls are a special election on Tuesday, both candidates are in
0:08:49 > 0:08:52favour of the second Amendment, and wary of gun control. This should be
0:08:52 > 0:08:57a safe Republican seat but polls suggest Democrats may be rose
0:08:57 > 0:09:06closing the gap late in the race.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11It is not even close to November but you would not know in this
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Pennsylvania district, campaigning in full swing. With President Trump
0:09:16 > 0:09:22just the latest to add his power to the race. -- stump power.The world
0:09:22 > 0:09:26is watching, they are all watching because I won this district by 22
0:09:26 > 0:09:34points, that's a lot. Look at all those red hats. Look at all those.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Meanwhile, at this rally, for the Democratic candidates...Go out and
0:09:39 > 0:09:44make sure he wins!The former vice president, and Pennsylvania native,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49trying to rally his troops.It was awesome that he was here, and I
0:09:49 > 0:09:54loved what he said, that is exactly what everybody here feels.Vice
0:09:54 > 0:09:57President Joe Biden speaks to the working class, he speaks to this
0:09:57 > 0:10:01region, it is a blue-collar region and he is a blue-collar guy.In the
0:10:01 > 0:10:05final days of the race, a toss-up, between the Republican and the
0:10:05 > 0:10:1033-year-old Democrat, in and of itself, that is quite a surprise.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Donald
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Donald Trump won this district by 20 points, it should be safe
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Republican. What is really animated these people, the single issue,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25resident tram, if you were dissatisfied with the course, the
0:10:25 > 0:10:27direction that this government has been taking the country, this is
0:10:27 > 0:10:33your opportunity to stand up against that.Su means is a councilwoman in
0:10:33 > 0:10:39the area, and a long-time supporter. The eyes of the world are on this
0:10:39 > 0:10:43race, the eyes of the nation, because people do see this as a
0:10:43 > 0:10:49referendum on Donald Trump.Is he doing a good job? I hope and pray
0:10:49 > 0:10:54that the voters realise it is not about one seat, it is about the
0:10:54 > 0:10:59wave, for the whole mid-term election. -- Sue Means. This is the
0:10:59 > 0:11:02first congressional race since the Parkland shooting, surprisingly, gun
0:11:02 > 0:11:07control is not the driving factor. Neither candidate supports measures
0:11:07 > 0:11:14like banning assault rifles, and the Democratic candidate played up his
0:11:14 > 0:11:18programming David -- his pro-government credentials.Guns are
0:11:18 > 0:11:29as American as apple pie.He's also a cop, and he teaches self defence.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34People are afraid guns will be taken away. My goodness, I have eczema of
0:11:34 > 0:11:37money, I had better buy a gun before the politicians take it away from
0:11:37 > 0:11:48us. -- by amount of money.Guns may be a popular past time here, but
0:11:48 > 0:11:55whoever wins, it is more about money. Jobs and money.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00All eyes on that special election tomorrow. In other news, in Nepal,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04at least 49 people have been killed a plane crash in the capital,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Kathmandu, the aircraft belonging to a private Bangladeshi carrier
0:12:07 > 0:12:11careered off the runway at the International Airport and burst into
0:12:11 > 0:12:15flames, the airline has blamed air traffic control but the airport says
0:12:15 > 0:12:21the plane approached from the wrong direction. 71 people on board, 20
0:12:21 > 0:12:23were rescued.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29Meghan Markle has made her first official appearance alongside Queen
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Elizabeth, Prince Harry joined other members of the Royal family
0:12:33 > 0:12:36including the monitor at the Commonwealth Day service
0:12:36 > 0:12:40held at Westminster Abbey. The former US ambassador to Panama
0:12:40 > 0:12:44decided to step down from his post over the Charlottesville riots last
0:12:44 > 0:12:49August because of the President's failure to speak out against
0:12:49 > 0:12:53neo-Nazis, now he has written a piece for the Washington post
0:12:53 > 0:12:58saying, why I can no longer serve as president. He says the unilateral
0:12:58 > 0:13:02and isolationist path is making America less welkin in the world,
0:13:02 > 0:13:07you joined me earlier from Miami. -- less
0:13:07 > 0:13:12welcome in the world. You say you resign because traditional values
0:13:12 > 0:13:17have been warped and betrayed, how so?It is clear to see in the
0:13:17 > 0:13:22rhetoric of the campaign, that the president ran, and in the reality of
0:13:22 > 0:13:27trying to build a wall which is more of a metaphysical wall, to keep
0:13:27 > 0:13:32people out, than to actually work on border security. The language that
0:13:32 > 0:13:35demonises the Latin migrants is the same kind of language that was used
0:13:35 > 0:13:40over 100 years ago to demonise the Italians and the Irish, and the
0:13:40 > 0:13:46Russians and the jury is -- and the Jewish who came to the United
0:13:46 > 0:13:50States, I felt we had overcome that and established a post-world order
0:13:50 > 0:13:54with allies like Great Britain that focused on human rights, tolerance,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57inclusion. I'm an old Marine, I believe that we are strongest when
0:13:57 > 0:14:02we are compassionate, I didn't see any of that coming out after about a
0:14:02 > 0:14:08year with this administration.On immigration, you write that the
0:14:08 > 0:14:11President's policies are foolish, delusional, anti-American, apart
0:14:11 > 0:14:15from building the wall, where else do you feel that to be evident?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well, I think in the way in which the administration has treated
0:14:18 > 0:14:24traditional allies. Look, the world is a dangerous place, and nobody
0:14:24 > 0:14:29wants to go at it alone. Going it alone in today's world when you are
0:14:29 > 0:14:33talking about security, talking about commerce, means making
0:14:33 > 0:14:37yourself weaker, that unfortunately is what we have done. We have not
0:14:37 > 0:14:41continue to build the relationships that got us to the very good
0:14:41 > 0:14:46position we were in.What impact would you say as a career diplomat,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49all these resignations from the State Department and the vacancies
0:14:49 > 0:14:53are having on the important work of diplomacy, preparing for a summit
0:14:53 > 0:14:57with the North leader, for example. Absolutely, the effect has been
0:14:57 > 0:15:05quite frankly very difficult, I left because I felt a line was crushed,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08my colleagues stay because they still want to serve. One of the
0:15:08 > 0:15:11things I think a lot of people don't realise is just how patriotically
0:15:11 > 0:15:15most diplomats are, from any country, you voluntarily
0:15:15 > 0:15:18circumscribe your own first Amendment rights, you work
0:15:18 > 0:15:22independently of partisan conflict, and what you do is you dedicate
0:15:22 > 0:15:28yourself to learning a region, learning and issue. Right now, as we
0:15:28 > 0:15:32possibly get ready for North Korea, or looking at Nafta discussions, you
0:15:32 > 0:15:36have people who are experts in Nafta for over 25 years, and we had the
0:15:36 > 0:15:40President's son-in-law leading discussions with the Mexican Foreign
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Minister... I just felt, and many feel like I do, that we are walking
0:15:45 > 0:15:52off the field of competence, and into a realm where we sort of how to
0:15:52 > 0:15:56decipher the tweets to figure out what policy will be! That does not
0:15:56 > 0:16:01make America safe.Thank you very much for joining us.
0:16:02 > 0:16:10Coming up: anticipating a trade war, the UN Ambassador to Washington
0:16:10 > 0:16:15tells us Europe is ready to respond to President Trump's steel tariffs.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27The world-famous dog show Crufts has been disrupted by animal rights
0:16:27 > 0:16:32protesters, the climax of this years event was temporarily halted, after
0:16:32 > 0:16:35demonstrators stormed the venue from a group that has condemned the event
0:16:35 > 0:16:48for in courage in some types of dog breeding.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01This year's winner was a two and a half year old with Pitt, called
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Tease but as she headed to the podium, this happen, two protest is
0:17:05 > 0:17:09emerged from the audience at the national exhibition Centre in
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Birmingham, very quickly they were chased down and subdued by security
0:17:14 > 0:17:17staff, no animals or owners were harmed. It's believed they were
0:17:17 > 0:17:24demonstrating on behalf of the animal rights group, Peta, which
0:17:24 > 0:17:27condemns Crufts for what it called extreme dog breeding. A statement
0:17:27 > 0:17:29said:
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Crufts issued a statement:
0:17:47 > 0:17:52the response on social media was almost instantaneous, CJ joiner
0:17:52 > 0:17:57tweeting:
0:18:13 > 0:18:22as for Tease, she seemed entirely unfazed by the whole thing, best and
0:18:22 > 0:18:24calmest in show.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Earlier we were talking about Donald Trump's trip to western Pennsylvania
0:18:36 > 0:18:40where he talked up his tariffs on imported steel and aluminium, in
0:18:40 > 0:18:44response, the EU has pushed back, reckoning tariffs of their own on
0:18:44 > 0:18:50American product. Katty Kay has been speaking with David O'Sullivan, for
0:18:50 > 0:19:01her programme beyond 100 days. The ambassador has said that the
0:19:01 > 0:19:05European Union will stand up to trade the bullies, is the Trump
0:19:05 > 0:19:10administration becoming a trade bully? -- stand up to trade bullies.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I think we have a disagreement over the issue of steel and aluminium
0:19:13 > 0:19:18tariffs, we think the proposed imposition of the tariffs on
0:19:18 > 0:19:23European companies is unfair, and unjustified, and if the tariffs are
0:19:23 > 0:19:29eventually imposed, we will react as we feel appropriate. We hope this
0:19:29 > 0:19:32will not happen, possibility of an exemption for certain countries and
0:19:32 > 0:19:35that is the channel we are going to work in the immediate future.The
0:19:35 > 0:19:40European Union has not been mentioned in those, the president on
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Saturday and again this morning tweeted in ways that made it sound
0:19:43 > 0:19:47like he was not happy with the European Union, he says the European
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Union has large tariffs and barriers against the United States, if you
0:19:52 > 0:19:56don't get an exemption, will be you retaliate against American products?
0:19:56 > 0:20:03If the proposed steel and aluminium tariffs are imposed on European
0:20:03 > 0:20:07exports, then yes, we will use our rights under the World Trade
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Organisation to impose rebalancing tariffs on American exports. We hope
0:20:12 > 0:20:16that will not be the case, I know that the president has made some
0:20:16 > 0:20:19critical remarks about the European Union, we don't share that
0:20:19 > 0:20:22perspective. I don't think it is fair to characterise the European
0:20:22 > 0:20:28Union as protectionist or posing barriers to exports, we are one of
0:20:28 > 0:20:32the largest trading economies in the world and one of the most open and
0:20:32 > 0:20:35we trade enormously with the United States, but if that is a
0:20:35 > 0:20:39conversation the president wants to have, he should hold it with his
0:20:39 > 0:20:43European Intel occurred tos, and we can continue his conversation but on
0:20:43 > 0:20:51the immediate issue of tariffs, we are looking down the avenue of
0:20:51 > 0:20:55intervention. Failing which, we will preserve rights under the WTO. --
0:20:55 > 0:21:01interlocutors.Measures against European steel and aluminium exports
0:21:01 > 0:21:05to America, would that have a material impact on European
0:21:05 > 0:21:11producers, Germany is only 3% of the total import of steel.We are
0:21:11 > 0:21:14actually the largest exporter of steel to the United States,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18second-largest by volume and the largest by value, so total European
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Union exports of steel are quite important, the total value of those
0:21:21 > 0:21:27exports is around $8 billion, and that is the value of the European
0:21:27 > 0:21:32export which will be affected by these tariffs if they are imposed.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37So it would have an impact on European companies?Very much, and
0:21:37 > 0:21:40we of course feel obliged to protect their interests.Going through the
0:21:40 > 0:21:45list of things that the EU has talked about in terms of retaliatory
0:21:45 > 0:21:48measures, bourbon from Kentucky, Harley-Davidsons from Wisconsin,
0:21:48 > 0:21:53orange juice from Florida, all very important states in American
0:21:53 > 0:21:58politics, is this a political gesture that the EU is proposing?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02The commission has proposed an indicative list, this has been
0:22:02 > 0:22:05discussed with member states, in choosing the products you always
0:22:05 > 0:22:08look at those which will have a maximum impact, in terms of the
0:22:08 > 0:22:14effect desired.Impact politically, you mean.Also economically, because
0:22:14 > 0:22:18the desire is to is to send a message that the damage inflicted on
0:22:18 > 0:22:23European exports will be reciprocated in terms of having an
0:22:23 > 0:22:28impact on American exports. I want to emphasise, this is not where we
0:22:28 > 0:22:33want to be and we hope we will not take this forward.If there is going
0:22:33 > 0:22:38to be a trade war, to be clear, the European Union will fight back?I
0:22:38 > 0:22:43really don't think it would be right to characterise this as a trade war,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47we sincerely hope that it is possible to have a dialogue and come
0:22:47 > 0:22:49out of this situation without tariffs being imposed on either
0:22:49 > 0:22:54side, that is the objective, if tariffs are imposed, then indeed, we
0:22:54 > 0:22:59will have to protect the interests of our industry in the where we best
0:22:59 > 0:23:04see fit.Thank you very much for joining us.You are very welcome.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00TRANSLATION:The dresses must be well on a woman's body, too many
0:24:00 > 0:24:03decorations onto a garment will contradict the piece itself. The
