:01:40. > :01:51.Hello and welcome. It's a solemn obligation, calling the grieving
:01:52. > :01:57.wife of a fallen soldier. For a president, no job is harder and more
:01:58. > :02:02.important. But last Tuesday, 12 days after for green beret 's were killed
:02:03. > :02:03.in Niger, the widow of sergeant David Johnson received a call from
:02:04. > :02:21.trumpet in her view was so incensed -- was so incensed that reduced

:02:32. > :02:33.It's the president, he said he knew what he signed up
:02:34. > :02:38.It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice
:02:39. > :02:47.He could not remember my husband's name.
:02:48. > :02:55.The only way he remembered his name was that he told me he had the
:02:56. > :02:58.report in front of him. That's when he actually said La David. I heard
:02:59. > :03:02.him stumbling trying to remember the name. That was hurting me the most
:03:03. > :03:08.because if my husband is out there fighting for our country, and he
:03:09. > :03:11.risks his life at our country, why can't you remember his name?

:03:27. > :03:35.That I speak to the Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun

:03:39. > :03:45.Democratic Congresswoman, it's quite another to take on the widow. This
:03:46. > :03:47.is extraordinary by any circumstances of presidential
:03:48. > :03:53.behaviour. What you are seeing and what the world is seeing in how
:03:54. > :04:00.President Trump decided to keep a few going -- a feud going even after
:04:01. > :04:05.this woman's husband, the day her husband was buried he sent out a
:04:06. > :04:09.tweet, a provocative one, accusing this Congresswoman of being wacky,
:04:10. > :04:12.and even today most of us and so many people around the world of
:04:13. > :04:16.killing occurred now as a human, it's hard,
:04:17. > :04:23.-- it's hard to give condolences. If I say something to hurt you, you
:04:24. > :04:27.should make it better because they lost a loved one and you did not.
:04:28. > :04:30.Last week I got the impression that the White House was time to shut
:04:31. > :04:34.this issue down to move on and talk about the things they want to talk
:04:35. > :04:37.about, tax reform or whatever. Do you think the people in the White
:04:38. > :04:40.House saw the tweet from the president this morning and thought
:04:41. > :04:47.by now. They've had a week of stumble. I was in the press briefing
:04:48. > :04:53.room last week when John Kelly, T., himself a father, himself knowing
:04:54. > :05:00.the grief that goes on, went in the beginning of his heartfelt talk talk
:05:01. > :05:04.about the chilling effect it is to have a child killed in the military.
:05:05. > :05:09.Then he went on to attack the Congresswoman and he was not right
:05:10. > :05:15.in his facts which created another part of the controversy. This has
:05:16. > :05:19.snowballed. What is well known is that nobody can control President
:05:20. > :05:25.Trump's tweet and today is just the latest example. Looking from over
:05:26. > :05:29.here, it seems this is running badly all the way from the beginning. What
:05:30. > :05:33.she said this interview today was she was taken aback at the president
:05:34. > :05:44.Michael her en route to receiving the casket as he was flown back in?
:05:45. > :05:47.This deserves attention. That had to be some lack of staff activity, this
:05:48. > :05:52.is one where we have human experience. He makes a call like
:05:53. > :05:57.that when somebody is on their way to pick up the body of a loved one?
:05:58. > :06:00.Most people must understand it is one of the most stressful moments of
:06:01. > :06:04.your life, it might not be the moment you want even the president
:06:05. > :06:10.in the best of circumstances, to make that call. This is just another
:06:11. > :06:18.situation that was made worse partly by not even, possibly should not
:06:19. > :06:25.happen in that day and time. The are confounded about it and I
:06:26. > :06:28.understand. Thanks for joining us.. The conflicting accounts will be
:06:29. > :06:33.subject of a congressional hearing this week but also questions about
:06:34. > :06:38.the deployment more generally. Some senior senators including some on
:06:39. > :06:45.the Senate armed services committee seem unaware the US has a thousand
:06:46. > :06:47.soldiers in Niger. This spurned this with top Tele macro response in the
:06:48. > :07:14.New York Times. Aside from those operations we do
:07:15. > :07:18.know about in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, the authorisation for
:07:19. > :07:21.the war on terror sign 16 years ago has been used by successive
:07:22. > :07:25.presidents to expand combat operations to the Philippines,
:07:26. > :07:32.Yemen, Djibouti, Somalia, Niger among others. That speak to a
:07:33. > :07:38.special forces veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Does it
:07:39. > :07:42.surprise frustrate you that Santa is that Lindsay Graham who sits on the
:07:43. > :07:51.armed services committee doesn't seem to know that the US has a
:07:52. > :07:54.thousand armed soldiers in Niger? It actually appalling and brings
:07:55. > :08:01.disbelief, the armed services committee are brief and these
:08:02. > :08:07.missions. The armed services committee was briefed on this and
:08:08. > :08:12.centres like Lindsay spend better attention. In these classifieds
:08:13. > :08:19.briefings, good Congress do more to keep a check and balance on what the
:08:20. > :08:22.White House is doing and where he is deploying soldiers? Should they be
:08:23. > :08:26.more involved? I don't know if they should be more involved or not, they
:08:27. > :08:31.certainly have oversight abilities and they certainly have a say in how
:08:32. > :08:33.these deployments go and I think it's downright cowardly for them
:08:34. > :08:37.after the fact it to pretend that they did not know this was
:08:38. > :08:43.happening. That is similarly to what happened in Benghazi in 2012 in that
:08:44. > :08:47.many of our politicians claimed they had no idea we had people in Libya,
:08:48. > :08:53.that simply isn't too, they were briefed on that as well. I was going
:08:54. > :08:57.to ask you about the comparisons between Benghazi and what has
:08:58. > :09:12.happened in Niger. Is it fair to draw those comparisons? It's like
:09:13. > :09:16.comparing apples and oranges. One circumstance was the combating of
:09:17. > :09:22.Boko Haram and ices in that particular country. What happened in
:09:23. > :09:27.Benghazi was different, a counsellor got attacked, there's a lot of
:09:28. > :09:33.foreshadowing and precipitation of that attack that we should have been
:09:34. > :09:35.aware of. It was attacked to the State Department and CAA, it was
:09:36. > :09:44.different and you can't compare them. What we do know, and.
:09:45. > :09:47.Information is sketchy, what is your theory on how the soldiers were
:09:48. > :09:58.detached from any back-up and support? Simply because Niger is a
:09:59. > :10:06.landlocked country in Africa, a huge continent where you can get the
:10:07. > :10:09.whole US in that twice over. In Afrikaans, the African command, it's
:10:10. > :10:16.not in Africa, it's in Stuttgart in Germany. How you going to support
:10:17. > :10:20.operations in central Africa is mystifying. This is how it goes.
:10:21. > :10:26.There's only so many assets that we have available and there's not
:10:27. > :10:31.enough logistics to supply every special forces mission all across
:10:32. > :10:35.the globe 24 seven. They call these misused train and advise, supporting
:10:36. > :10:40.local troops but is that just a cover for the covert missions that
:10:41. > :10:46.go on in this country is? At times that happens but in this case, no.
:10:47. > :10:52.It was a foreign internal defence where US special forces go in a
:10:53. > :10:54.training locals and sometimes they were accompanied on operations or
:10:55. > :11:00.getting closer to the battlefield. We've seen this recently in other
:11:01. > :11:03.countries that the Philippines. US special advisers and Marine special
:11:04. > :11:12.operations assisted Philippine forces on the seed. They want on the
:11:13. > :11:20.front lines. This is similar to the media assignment. Thanks for joining
:11:21. > :11:24.us. These are the sort of things Mrs Johnson wants, what went wrong and
:11:25. > :11:26.why did this happen? After last week, the president might have been
:11:27. > :11:37.cleaned drop it? It's the president has done
:11:38. > :11:42.a reading of survival lessons and is more keen eye for an eye, then he is
:11:43. > :11:45.with turning the other cheek. I'm sure an awful lot of people on the
:11:46. > :11:50.White House and Capitol Hill wishes he'd done the latter. That's not the
:11:51. > :11:56.roles, we know that. It attack, attack. Let's talk about things
:11:57. > :11:59.here, the British minister has updated MPs this afternoon on the
:12:00. > :12:06.progress of the Brexit negotiators after meeting with EU leaders last
:12:07. > :12:11.week. But its theme the counter last Wednesday, that is though much the
:12:12. > :12:14.focus. The report in a German newspaper claimed Theresa May begs
:12:15. > :12:18.Jean-Claude Juncker for help and suggests that she appeared anxious
:12:19. > :12:26.and tormented. Here is Alex Forsyth. Prime Minister, what are
:12:27. > :12:28.you putting on the table? This time last week,
:12:29. > :12:30.the Prime Minister left Her aim, to try to unblock Brexit
:12:31. > :12:34.talks over dinner with senior The meal in the Belgian capital
:12:35. > :12:37.was officially called constructive. An account in a German newspaper,
:12:38. > :12:46.which said that Mrs May, under political pressure at home,
:12:47. > :12:49.had pleaded for help from the EU. The president of the European
:12:50. > :12:50.Commission reportedly said that she'd looked
:12:51. > :12:54.nervous and disheartened. Jean-Claude Juncker,
:12:55. > :12:55.according to the newspaper, said the Prime Minister seemed
:12:56. > :12:58.like she had not slept for days. This morning, his senior aide
:12:59. > :13:00.rejected the reports. He claimed it was an attempt
:13:01. > :13:12.to frame the EU side And at a press briefing in Brussels,
:13:13. > :13:17.a commission spokesman said this... I have to be very clear that
:13:18. > :13:27.President Juncker would never have used the words attributed to him
:13:28. > :13:30.and never would have We have never been
:13:31. > :13:37.punitive on Brexit. We have said at all levels,
:13:38. > :13:58.on many occasions, The European Commission president
:13:59. > :14:06.was asked by the leak by our European correspondent, take a
:14:07. > :14:12.listen to what he had to say. Can we ask about the dinner with Mrs May,
:14:13. > :14:17.can you tell the press will happen? Never I'm surprised and shocked at
:14:18. > :14:20.what has been written in the German press and repeated by the British
:14:21. > :14:27.press. Nothing is true in all this. I had an excellent working dinner
:14:28. > :14:31.with Theresa May, she was in good shape, she was not tired, she was
:14:32. > :14:36.fighting as is her duty so everything for me was OK. She didn't
:14:37. > :14:41.plead with you for help? No, that's not the style of British prime
:14:42. > :14:48.ministers. Jean-Claude Juncker. There was concern about what happens
:14:49. > :14:53.when the due killing the EQ, business leaders called for a swift
:14:54. > :15:00.-- leaving the EU, business leaders could for a transition. Theresa May
:15:01. > :15:08.remains optimistic that a deal can be agreed.
:15:09. > :15:11.Mr Speaker, I am ambitions and positive about the future
:15:12. > :15:14.If we're going to take a step forward together,
:15:15. > :15:17.it must be on the basis of joint effort and endeavour between the UK
:15:18. > :15:20.and the EU but I believe that by approaching these negotiations
:15:21. > :15:22.in a constructive way, in the spirit of friendship and cooperation,
:15:23. > :15:25.we can and will deliver the best possible outcome that
:15:26. > :15:36.Let's go into this with Iain Duncan Smith hoof supported
:15:37. > :15:45.-- let's big Iain Duncan Smith supported Brexit. I surprise? Now,
:15:46. > :15:50.I'm used to this. The office has a track record, the same paper as I
:15:51. > :15:56.recall had another one before the election, another briefing given to
:15:57. > :15:59.them from apparently the President's office about much the same topic,
:16:00. > :16:07.the views and the Prime Minister at the time and the rest of it. This
:16:08. > :16:10.appears again in a German newspaper, the same one. Maybe Jean-Claude
:16:11. > :16:14.Juncker had directly nothing to do with it but am absolutely certain
:16:15. > :16:22.that it appears from all that is being said from journalists that his
:16:23. > :16:27.chief of staff in Brussels, this is very much his kind of work. It may
:16:28. > :16:32.well have backfired on him. He denies it? He's probably done it.
:16:33. > :16:38.There's a lot about him now that is not very edifying, I have to say. He
:16:39. > :16:41.is turning the president of the European Union into kind of Trump
:16:42. > :16:45.like figure which is not very helpful in the course of these
:16:46. > :16:51.talks. He has denied it today as have Mr Jean-Claude Juncker. Let's
:16:52. > :16:55.talk about the issues in Parliament today, Theresa May was revising what
:16:56. > :16:59.went on in Brussels last week. A lot of focus on the transition. Your
:17:00. > :17:05.conservative colleague John Redwood said firms should prepare for a
:17:06. > :17:08.smooth transition to WTO tariffs but expect the PM to bring home
:17:09. > :17:14.something better, is that sensible advice? Very sensible advice to
:17:15. > :17:17.expect that the firms themselves recognise that if we don't get a
:17:18. > :17:23.free trade arrangements then we will have to have another amazement.
:17:24. > :17:27.There is no vacuum. People talk right now free-trade arrangement and
:17:28. > :17:32.no deal rather than a deal. The fact is there is a deal or a different
:17:33. > :17:35.deal, and a different deal with we are trying to agreed but they've
:17:36. > :17:38.been resistant to talking about there we hope to buy Christmas, is a
:17:39. > :17:46.free-trade arrangement which is logged in the WTO as we leave, that
:17:47. > :17:50.would be the best circumstance providing it's a good one.
:17:51. > :17:56.Alternative is you leave under the WTO terms which rest of the world
:17:57. > :18:06.operates under successfully, that way or may not entail tariff. The
:18:07. > :18:09.WTO allows leading countries to have access to services that don't have
:18:10. > :18:14.to open up the rest of the worth ten years. It's feasible to years
:18:15. > :18:21.telling macro leave under WTO terms that still have a zero tariff
:18:22. > :18:25.agreed, still going on. There are different ways of doing it that the
:18:26. > :18:28.key point is, businesses should stop worrying about the transition or in
:18:29. > :18:32.fermentation period because that surely can only be decided once you
:18:33. > :18:35.know what the arrangements are and that as yet has not been decided,
:18:36. > :18:44.notwithstanding the fact the British want to do it. The need to focus on
:18:45. > :18:49.the eventual outcome. Eisai organisation should be less word,
:18:50. > :18:53.isn't it their job to stand up for members' interest and they believe
:18:54. > :18:57.it will be damaging to the UK if there is no agreement? The head of
:18:58. > :19:03.Goldman Sachs ones he will take jobs to Frankfurt, that did seriously
:19:04. > :19:07.damage the financial services industry, do you agree or be
:19:08. > :19:13.damaging to the economy if there is no agreement? If there is no
:19:14. > :19:15.agreement at all, it's an agreement under WTO terms, you don't walk out
:19:16. > :19:25.into a vacuum, that the killing of global set of rules and it has to be
:19:26. > :19:29.under those. It would be impossible to walk away and have no agreement
:19:30. > :19:35.on those basis because that would be asked and the EU having an
:19:36. > :19:42.relationship worse than Iran and the EU. It is about a free-trade
:19:43. > :19:45.arrangement with them with a full negotiation element with financial
:19:46. > :19:49.services. You say that both of UK, every worth of the UK as a general
:19:50. > :19:52.belief in the first instance than say, a free-trade arrangement
:19:53. > :19:57.providing it's a good one. But it's also damaging for the EU. The user
:19:58. > :20:02.does a much higher proportion of six trade with us such as machinery, and
:20:03. > :20:06.without the goods except, we the single biggest marketplace the EU
:20:07. > :20:11.when we leave and that would be ridiculous for them not to want to
:20:12. > :20:15.have some kind of arrangement. So the question isn't to say to
:20:16. > :20:19.business don't worry, the idea is you need to get that arrangement but
:20:20. > :20:23.if you don't it will be under WTO arrangement and they should make the
:20:24. > :20:28.plans for the WTO setup but hope that we get that arrangement at the
:20:29. > :20:31.same time. So to squeeze you, Iain Duncan Smith, thanks for joining us.
:20:32. > :20:46.Spanish Prime Minister has promised to is expected to give authority to
:20:47. > :20:52.call new elections. The Catalan leader has resisted internal

:21:03. > :21:07.rule it out. They create divisions with the rest of... Let's speak to
:21:08. > :21:18.our guest. Thanks for joining us. is the biggest concern for people,
:21:19. > :21:21.how this unfold once the government takes back control of Catalonia
:21:22. > :21:25.because we saw what happened during the referendum, how would the
:21:26. > :21:33.national police move in and reassert its authority? Using one expression,
:21:34. > :21:40.that is yours, let's not jump the gun. For the moment, this is a
:21:41. > :21:49.return to the rule of law, they true vision under our Constitution. It's
:21:50. > :21:56.the same article for the German constitution, in article 137, it is
:21:57. > :21:59.our Senate that is examining the initiative by the government. What
:22:00. > :22:08.has to be taken into account as the things in my opinion. Firstly, the
:22:09. > :22:13.government has set in motion this constitutional provision, reluctant.
:22:14. > :22:18.And the second is that what the government as look for is a broad
:22:19. > :22:24.consensus of constitutional parties. This is a constitutional issue, this
:22:25. > :22:30.is a big issue. The government has look for and seeks the backing of
:22:31. > :22:39.the two constitutional abiding or constitutionalist and parties. They
:22:40. > :22:42.have a big role in the Spanish life which is the Socialist party, that
:22:43. > :22:49.is the other important but I can list of our transition. Of our
:22:50. > :22:55.constitutional framework. The other is the new liberal... The issue that
:22:56. > :22:59.worries people watching from Europe is that you have a situation where
:23:00. > :23:03.the government in Spain says it retaking control and on the same day
:23:04. > :23:06.on Friday, the possibility that the Catalan parliament will declare
:23:07. > :23:14.independence, what happens then realistically? What happens again is
:23:15. > :23:21.that we have a constitution, we have a leader, we have spent as a country
:23:22. > :23:24.where rule of law prevail. What this provision is is not for taking
:23:25. > :23:30.control, it is just to bring back the constitutional rule and the rule
:23:31. > :23:35.of law to Catalonia. Because right now what we have is still today, the
:23:36. > :23:45.authorities are succession list authorities. That is in Europe,
:23:46. > :23:49.there has been a proud consensus on understanding that the European
:23:50. > :23:56.Union is a construction of law and bylaw, I understand that this
:23:57. > :24:01.instant message culture of hours, these hundred and 40 characters,
:24:02. > :24:09.just going into constitution into the rule of law but this is a
:24:10. > :24:14.business. So to interrupt but isn't that going to exacerbate tensions
:24:15. > :24:19.extremely if you have a situation where there are national police
:24:20. > :24:26.coming into Catalonia and telling local police they had to stand down?
:24:27. > :24:32.You know, what do you want? Do you want to circumvent the rule of law?

:26:19. > :26:22.rain in the forecast and it's going to remain pretty mild particularly
:26:23. > :26:27.across the southern half of the UK. A lot of cloud out there in the
:26:28. > :26:30.Atlantic, this is a typical autumn picture and most of the cloud that
:26:31. > :26:34.leaves for the moment, are streaming in from the south-west and there a
:26:35. > :26:39.daisy chain of whether fronts up there, this is where the mile there

:26:54. > :27:00.getting into Pembrokeshire with the weather front extending to North UK.
:27:01. > :27:04.Look at the first morning temperatures, rush-hour on Tuesday,
:27:05. > :27:09.we have 15 in Plymouth, Taunton 16, 15 in London, Gloucester around 16,
:27:10. > :27:14.a little bit colder there, less mild I should say in the north around
:27:15. > :27:17.1113 degrees, maybe in Belfast were but it's raining as well so not a
:27:18. > :27:23.grey start to the date but at least it's not freezing cold. What's going
:27:24. > :27:24.to happen to the course of the day? The weather front keeps flooding in
:27:25. > :27:32.from -- spreading from the south-west but
:27:33. > :27:38.the southern counties might get some brightness, it will be too wet
:27:39. > :27:41.there. In Newcastle and Belfast temperatures will be in at least the
:27:42. > :27:49.mid-if not high teens. Through Wednesday, it looks like the
:27:50. > :27:52.northern two thirds will biting, and the weather that will sit in the
:27:53. > :27:56.south on top of us, it will be mild but a fair bit of cloud particularly
:27:57. > :28:03.across south-western areas of the UK. On Thursday, and looks at the
:28:04. > :28:07.clouds will increase again, and there's not an awful lot of change
:28:08. > :28:11.has negated this week, some sunshine and cloud and back to sunshine, and
:28:12. > :28:15.rain thrown in. High-pressure looks like it's set to build across the UK
:28:16. > :28:20.as we head into Friday and the UK, the jet streams to the north of us

:30:10. > :30:22.Our top stories, the widow of a fall in US soldier demands answers on why
:30:23. > :30:28.she isn't allowed to see her husband's body. Theresa May says is
:30:29. > :30:31.ambitious and positive about Brexit talks, but behind the scenes,
:30:32. > :30:35.reports suggest a different story. Coming up in the next 30 minutes,
:30:36. > :30:39.president Trump says he is good for business. In this case, it is the
:30:40. > :30:47.newspaper business feeling a boost. You thought knife like -- nightlife
:30:48. > :31:02.isn't what it used to be... Get in touch with us.
:31:03. > :31:10.It is nearly three weeks since US troops were attacked in Niger, there
:31:11. > :31:15.are conflicting reports on what happened. There will be an
:31:16. > :31:21.investigation on it. We know that four green beret 's were killed.
:31:22. > :31:26.As we have discussed, the call made to a widow last week has done
:31:27. > :31:32.nothing to ease family pain this morning. Mrs Johnson spoke about the
:31:33. > :31:40.questions she now wants answered. I want to know why it took them 48
:31:41. > :31:43.hours to find my husband. Why couldn't I see my husband? Every
:31:44. > :31:51.time I asked to see my husband, they didn't let me. What did they tell
:31:52. > :31:56.you? They told me that he is in a severe rap and I wouldn't be able to
:31:57. > :32:00.see him. I need to see him so I know that is my husband. I don't know
:32:01. > :32:04.nothing. They won't show me a finger, a hand. I know my husband's
:32:05. > :32:08.body from head to toe, and they won't let me see anything. I don't
:32:09. > :32:15.know what's in that box. It could be due, for all I know. I need to see
:32:16. > :32:21.my husband. I haven't seen him since he came home.
:32:22. > :32:28.PJ Crowley joins us in the studio. Welcome to you. I will ask you two
:32:29. > :32:33.questions on. One is your sense of an overview of what is happening.
:32:34. > :32:40.Secondly, why wouldn't they let the widow see her dead husband's body?
:32:41. > :32:45.I'm also a retired air force colonel. I understand both
:32:46. > :32:52.perspectives of this. In some cases, the body is in a very difficult
:32:53. > :32:57.situation, particularly if he is offered egregious wound in the
:32:58. > :33:03.attack. The military impulse is to spare the family that final picture.
:33:04. > :33:08.By the same token, ultimately, if the family pushes hard enough, the
:33:09. > :33:15.military should respond to that. It would make an horrific situation
:33:16. > :33:18.even worse. Just briefly how the situation has been handled by the
:33:19. > :33:23.White House in the last week to ten days. Miserably. This is a case
:33:24. > :33:27.where, while the president is breaking the mould of what
:33:28. > :33:31.presidential means, this is where he has done damage, not only to his
:33:32. > :33:35.Administration, but wounded others in the process. A week ago, or the
:33:36. > :33:42.president needed to do was to respond to questions in a
:33:43. > :33:45.presidential manner. But he said, he is engaged with military families,
:33:46. > :33:50.he understands the sacrifice, but I do not think this is something that
:33:51. > :33:52.needs to be discussed in public, but I understand the sacrifice our
:33:53. > :34:00.troops are making in places like Niger. He gave an unusual response,
:34:01. > :34:03.a harmful response, and now others are ensnared in this, including his
:34:04. > :34:08.G. Four. Rex Tillerson has been travelling
:34:09. > :34:16.today, he has travelled a lot, he was in Cabral and Baghdad today. He
:34:17. > :34:25.got short shrift in Baghdad. He said at the weekend that he wanted the
:34:26. > :34:34.Iranians militia to withdraw. But they say that is unnecessary.
:34:35. > :34:37.14 years into this transitional period in a rut, and still the
:34:38. > :34:43.Secretary of State cannot make and announced visit to an ally like Iraq
:34:44. > :34:49.stop that tells you something about the uncertainty that overhangs the
:34:50. > :34:55.future of Iran, given the Kurdish question about its aspiration for
:34:56. > :35:00.independence. But then again, this is a horse that left the barn a long
:35:01. > :35:06.time ago. There is no question, the primary beneficiary of invading Iraq
:35:07. > :35:11.in 2003 is Iran, and their influence is still there stop it is fair to
:35:12. > :35:15.say that Iraq's challenge going forward, and the state itself,
:35:16. > :35:21.should have a monopoly on the major use of force. It needs to get its
:35:22. > :35:23.arms around the various militia that undercut Iraqi sovereignty. This is
:35:24. > :35:37.something that is a fundamental challenge for the Iraqi government.
:35:38. > :35:43.The lever is re-add -- they need to get more involved. They have had
:35:44. > :35:49.productive meetings, reconnecting the relationship between Baghdad and
:35:50. > :36:02.re-O'Connell which was severed many years ago. It may be more feasible
:36:03. > :36:04.-- Riyadh. Anything the Saudis do will be beneficial, but this is
:36:05. > :36:10.still going to be a long-term challenge. Thank you for your time
:36:11. > :36:15.and your insight. Great to have you with us. When you mention child
:36:16. > :36:19.marriage, it is usually due to concerns about practices in
:36:20. > :36:23.developing countries. But in the US, 25 out of 50 states have no minimum
:36:24. > :36:31.age to be legally married. Every year, it is thought thousands
:36:32. > :36:37.of often not even Tina 's, get married to men. -- teenagers.
:36:38. > :36:47.What happened to Angel here in America may seem unexpected. She
:36:48. > :36:52.feels her childhood was torn away from her. At the age of just 13, she
:36:53. > :36:56.says her mother forced her into a marriage. I would love to go
:36:57. > :37:01.back-to-school. After years of feeling there was no way out, she
:37:02. > :37:05.finally escaped, and is speaking out about her childhood marriage for the
:37:06. > :37:09.first time. I was a slave to my ex. I was a slave to the idea that my
:37:10. > :37:14.mother wanted us to all be together, to have kids young stock and to do
:37:15. > :37:19.all of that, I still have all of this emotional baggage of wanting to
:37:20. > :37:23.have done something with my life by now. But I haven't been able to,
:37:24. > :37:29.because I was too busy taking care of kids. It is really all the time
:37:30. > :37:38.that I think about what I could have done, or could have been. Angel's
:37:39. > :37:42.marriage fits an international pattern of child brides being far
:37:43. > :37:48.more likely not to get an education, and to face Ireland abuse.
:37:49. > :37:52.We might be talking about Angel's story here in rural Idaho, but this
:37:53. > :37:56.is a national problem, because children are permitted to marry
:37:57. > :38:01.across this country, with some states having no set minimum
:38:02. > :38:07.marriage age at all. We extrapolate from the data, and estimate, in all
:38:08. > :38:12.50 states, approximately a quarter of a million children that were
:38:13. > :38:16.married in America between 2000 and 2010. Again, if we look at the data
:38:17. > :38:23.we have from 38 states, we know this is overwhelmingly girls to adult
:38:24. > :38:27.men. Cherie Johnson is trying to convince politicians in her home
:38:28. > :38:32.state of Florida to change the laws that allowed her to be forced to
:38:33. > :38:38.marry at the age of just 11. I got married to my rapist. The guy that
:38:39. > :38:45.raped me. My mother saw fit for me to marry him to make the situation
:38:46. > :38:54.of me getting pregnant, I can say, to make it look better overall. So,
:38:55. > :38:59.rather than putting the handcuffs on him, at 20 years of age, they put
:39:00. > :39:04.the handcuffs on me at age 11. For many, it is shocking to see the
:39:05. > :39:07.numbers in black and white on an American marriage certificate.
:39:08. > :39:10.Shocking is, still, to know that in much of the country, there is
:39:11. > :39:16.nothing to stop it happening again today.
:39:17. > :39:22.Let's get a round-up of the latest news. Tension is building ahead of
:39:23. > :39:30.Kenya's presidential election rerun on Tuesday. The chief prosecutor
:39:31. > :39:33.says she should be charged with inciting violence. The prosecutor
:39:34. > :39:39.claims she caused damage at an election centre. The vote is being
:39:40. > :39:39.boycotted by some, saying it is not free or fair.

:39:52. > :39:54.the oceans more acidic, predicting that infancy creatures will be
:39:55. > :39:58.especially harmed. A British man diving off the Western
:39:59. > :40:02.Australian coast has had an amazing escape from a shark, Jon Craig
:40:03. > :40:09.became separated from his boat and was stalked by a giant tiger shark.
:40:10. > :40:12.He managed to swims .5 from it is back to shore. He said shark was
:40:13. > :40:16.extremely close and curious, and kept trying to work out what he was.
:40:17. > :40:21.And if he was going to be on the menu or not.
:40:22. > :40:24.More and more young Americans are signing up for online subscriptions
:40:25. > :40:28.to national print publications. Papers like the New York Times,
:40:29. > :40:32.would you believe, and magazines like the Atlantic. They are enjoying
:40:33. > :40:43.increases of over 100% in the last year, according to Reuters
:40:44. > :40:51.What is going on there? I thought it was the failing New York Times... I
:40:52. > :40:53.went to baseball and I was sitting next to a newspaper executive,
:40:54. > :40:59.weirdly enough. He started talking to me. He said we need to enjoy the
:41:00. > :41:02.model of the Washington Times, who have cashed in brilliant Lee on the
:41:03. > :41:06.anti-Trump sentiment there is in America. He felt his newspaper group
:41:07. > :41:11.hadn't done that in. It seems at times, I think real collusion is
:41:12. > :41:14.between the New York Times and Donald Trump will stop every time
:41:15. > :41:19.the New York Times need a boost, they ring up Donald Trump and beg
:41:20. > :41:22.him to say they are failing. He is good for business, they wheel out
:41:23. > :41:27.these numbers that show that all their figures are up at the moment
:41:28. > :41:30.because of Donald Trump. We would be out of business without him as well,
:41:31. > :41:33.of course. If you feel there aren't enough
:41:34. > :41:39.Populist billionaire leaders featured on Beyond 100 Days, we have
:41:40. > :41:46.another one for you. There is said to be a new checkpoint Minister

:41:50. > :41:54.He is the second richest man with a rich fortune made in chemicals, food

:42:00. > :42:04.to run the country like a business but there have been? 'S over his
:42:05. > :42:08.finances. He has been charged with fraud and faces investigation over
:42:09. > :42:19.how he obtained EU funds for a farm and conference centre.
:42:20. > :42:30.He has a line on anti-EU rhetoric, which we will oppose my grip quotas
:42:31. > :42:32.set by Brussels. We caught up with Rob Cameron in Brussels, and we
:42:33. > :42:38.asked if the Donald Trump comparisons are fair.
:42:39. > :42:41.We shouldn't get too carried away comparisons with Donald Trump. Yes,
:42:42. > :42:46.he is fantastically rich, Andrej Babis. He says he is richer than
:42:47. > :42:50.Donald Trump. His fortune is estimated at $4 billion. Donald
:42:51. > :42:55.Trump only has three, but there are some things in common. He is plain
:42:56. > :43:01.speaking, he is a man of the people and he has a rather populist tinge
:43:02. > :43:04.to some of his remarks. For me, the big difference between Donald Trump
:43:05. > :43:08.and Andrej Babis is power. Donald Trump scored a massive victory in
:43:09. > :43:12.the States and is now president. Andrej Babis scored a big victory
:43:13. > :43:16.here, but he is a man about to be charged with leading Coalition talks
:43:17. > :43:19.on forming a new government. It is not the same thing. He will find it
:43:20. > :43:25.very frustrating to put together that Coalition, and forming a
:43:26. > :43:28.stable, viable government. But he is not the only populist leader in
:43:29. > :43:33.Eastern Europe, will this concerned the European Union? I think there
:43:34. > :43:40.will be some concern, yes, in Brussels, Paris and Berlin. Andrej
:43:41. > :43:44.Babis has been quick to say he is not anti-European. He has taken to
:43:45. > :43:48.task the journalist in the foreign media that have described him and
:43:49. > :43:51.his party as anti-Europe and Eurosceptic. The thing is, when you
:43:52. > :43:58.look at the thing he says about Brussels and defending Czech
:43:59. > :44:02.national interests against Brussels, and also his very, very negative
:44:03. > :44:07.comments about the Euros. He says it is a failed project, and the Czechs
:44:08. > :44:12.shouldn't sign up to it. Bureaucrats in Brussels and in European capitals
:44:13. > :44:19.do have something to worry about with Andrej Babis. This is Beyond
:44:20. > :44:22.100 Days, still to come, new files on the Association of President John

:44:31. > :44:36.From today, here in London, drivers of older, more polluting vehicles
:44:37. > :44:40.will have to pay an extra ?10 to drive through the City centre, the

:44:56. > :45:00.Pollution's linked to lung and heart disease with children
:45:01. > :45:06.What I'm in favour of is encouraging people to change their behaviour
:45:07. > :45:09.so they stop driving the most polluting vehicles and start moving
:45:10. > :45:11.to either public transport, walking or cycling, or cleaner
:45:12. > :45:17.From today, anybody crossing this line in an older vehicle
:45:18. > :45:21.will have to pay an extra ?10 for the privilege, and it
:45:22. > :45:25.looks like it's already affecting people's behaviour.
:45:26. > :45:28.When they first talked about this scheme back in February,
:45:29. > :45:30.they said around 10,000 vehicles per day would have to pay.
:45:31. > :45:33.A few months later, they're now just talking about 6,500 vehicles,
:45:34. > :45:36.which suggests that people are changing their cars and vans.
:45:37. > :45:38.It will affect many vehicles registered before 2006.
:45:39. > :45:46.If you include the congestion charge, midweek drivers
:45:47. > :45:48.could actually pay more than ?21 a day.
:45:49. > :45:50.Critics say it'll put small businesses under pressure.
:45:51. > :45:55.Like Barry Neil, who mends computers then couriers them around the city.
:45:56. > :45:59.More than 50% of our business is in via small career companies.
:46:00. > :46:05.T charge means they're going to put their prices up or,
:46:06. > :46:09.effectively, go out of business, which means that, therefore,
:46:10. > :46:12.we're going to have to use bigger companies, which raises our bottom
:46:13. > :46:15.line, which means we're going to pass that on to our clients.
:46:16. > :46:24.It is not just a London bomb, many towns and cities have broken EU
:46:25. > :46:29.pollution limits, Ponting calls for action. A London zone will be
:46:30. > :46:30.extended in a few years with even tougher rules on who has to pay to
:46:31. > :46:44.come in. You are watching tempering. Few
:46:45. > :46:49.events in history draw as much interest and competing theories as
:46:50. > :46:52.the death of President John F Caples assassination. He was killed in
:46:53. > :46:59.Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald, but something the story -- something the
:47:00. > :47:03.story goes deeper. Secret documents will be released from the case will
:47:04. > :47:11.stop Donald Trump tweeted this weekend:
:47:12. > :47:20.what could those files reveal? Joining us now is the BBC's Laura
:47:21. > :47:24.Bicker. Such a fascinating story, so much speculation. What are we
:47:25. > :47:28.anticipating? If you listen to scholars, they will tell you that
:47:29. > :47:34.decades of secrecy might be about to come to an end. These documents were
:47:35. > :47:42.locked away by law a 1992 law, 25 years ago, to quell conspiracy
:47:43. > :47:47.theories. 30% of Americans still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald
:47:48. > :47:52.didn't act alone. The documents that they will be looking to uncover are
:47:53. > :47:56.any documents surrounding his visit to Mexico just weeks before the
:47:57. > :48:00.assassination. It is there it is alleged he did with Cuban and Soviet
:48:01. > :48:05.spies, and it is also alleged it has never been proven that he mentioned
:48:06. > :48:08.killing the president and his intention to kill the president.
:48:09. > :48:12.That is some of the things these documents can reveal. Subject to the
:48:13. > :48:16.receipt of further information, he tweeted. Is that a get out clause?
:48:17. > :48:21.There is a bit of a get out clause for the president. In a statement,
:48:22. > :48:24.the White House said, if there is a national security reason why these
:48:25. > :48:30.documents should not be released, then they won't be. However, it does
:48:31. > :48:34.seem likely that many of them will be. We have had about 88% of them
:48:35. > :48:39.released, there are 5 million documents on the Kennedy and --
:48:40. > :48:47.assassination. These are the last remaining 1%. It is documents such
:48:48. > :48:51.as the CIA profile on Lee Harvey Oswald. There are roles of document
:48:52. > :48:54.relating to the testimony of CIA officers at the time. Scholars will
:48:55. > :48:58.be looking to see what they knew. What did they tell Dallas police at
:48:59. > :49:03.the time? And what come if at all, they knew that this previous US
:49:04. > :49:12.member that defected to the Soviet Union was working on a site on
:49:13. > :49:15.President's motorcade route. The president has accused the father of
:49:16. > :49:21.Senator Ted Cruz of being some way in goods with Lee Harvey Oswald?
:49:22. > :49:27.President Trumpism a stranger to conspiracy theories when it comes to
:49:28. > :49:31.the Kennedy assassination. It was during a debate that he accused Ted
:49:32. > :49:36.Cruz's father of being with Lee Harvey Oswald before the shooting,
:49:37. > :49:41.that has never been proved. When it comes to conspiracy theories, he is
:49:42. > :49:44.also behind the so-called movement that accused President Obama of not
:49:45. > :49:49.being born in the United States. Yes, he has form. He has never run a
:49:50. > :49:52.door apologised for that. Thank you for now.
:49:53. > :49:55.It is known as the City that never sits, but is New York City losing
:49:56. > :50:07.its lustre. Whoever gets the job will be charged
:50:08. > :50:11.with promoting and protecting the rich culture that has long made the
:50:12. > :50:15.City a draw for locals and tourists alike. It may sound like fun and
:50:16. > :50:21.games, but there are real challenges that lie ahead.
:50:22. > :50:30.It's the City that never sleeps. On the surface, night life in New York
:50:31. > :50:35.looks vibrant. But smaller libraries it venues have declined by Wendy
:50:36. > :50:40.percent over the last 15 years. The new nightmare's main challenge, to
:50:41. > :50:45.promote a nightlife image that is often under siege. This man is the
:50:46. > :50:51.driving force behind the creation of the new nightmare position. That's
:50:52. > :50:54.the goal of the office, to make sure the City's nightlife have an
:50:55. > :50:59.advocate where businesses feel they have a voice, and they are not being
:51:00. > :51:03.preyed upon by the City and communities. The industry is
:51:04. > :51:09.responsible for creating over 600,000 jobs across the City. It is
:51:10. > :51:13.a over $10 million industry. The new nightmare and may lessen what
:51:14. > :51:17.critics say is the stifling of nightlife businesses by City
:51:18. > :51:21.government agencies. But creating a City appointed official to promote
:51:22. > :51:24.and protect nightlife means this new nightmare is going to have to work
:51:25. > :51:28.hard to win trust. I like the idea of somebody who would promote
:51:29. > :51:31.nightlife, but I don't trust the idea of the government appointing
:51:32. > :51:41.someone to do so. The New York City Governor has intervened in nightlife
:51:42. > :51:47.negatively. And of Giuliani made it part of his campaign, but forgot
:51:48. > :51:54.that nightlife is a huge part of life in New York.
:51:55. > :51:58.The New York nightlife community is making its concerns known. It won't
:51:59. > :52:03.let its new office of nightlife of the. This town Hall meeting has been
:52:04. > :52:08.making demands on what the new nightmare should do. And what the
:52:09. > :52:14.priority should be. Rachel Nelson owns three nightlife venues in
:52:15. > :52:17.Brooklyn. We need them to be an advocate that stands up for us. We
:52:18. > :52:20.had to stand up and say it is important, and what we do is
:52:21. > :52:30.valuable, economically and socially and culturally.
:52:31. > :52:36.And City Councilman hoped the new nightmare will ease the pressure on
:52:37. > :52:45.New York's like these it venues. Those spaces are responsible for
:52:46. > :52:52.creating those spaces that have attracted many of the young people
:52:53. > :52:57.to move here and help the economy. Whoever is appointed to this new
:52:58. > :53:02.nightlife position, there is the bonus of the job name. Being called
:53:03. > :53:10.nightmare of New York has a certain cachet. An alternative title is
:53:11. > :53:12.reserved for nightlife. A very different kind of job. Nightmare it
:53:13. > :53:23.probably will be. My social life is a nightmare. What
:53:24. > :53:27.do they call them, a box set that, now my daughter is on the scene and
:53:28. > :53:36.my son. I'd never get out much. We have been talking... For you! I
:53:37. > :53:41.know! It's hopeless. -- poor you. This is a great of a different kind,
:53:42. > :53:45.this is the dog of the French president Emmanuel Macron, who has
:53:46. > :54:04.made his presence felt. Take a look at this.
:54:05. > :54:16.I've often felt like that about planning meetings. You have a dog,
:54:17. > :54:22.is that right? Yeah. Do you bring your dog to work? Very occasionally,
:54:23. > :54:28.but my dog would behave in an impeccable manner, is impeccably
:54:29. > :54:33.booked up and would never dream of doing anything so rude. There is
:54:34. > :54:38.Alfie! There is Alfie. What is Alfie? He is a miniature German
:54:39. > :54:42.schnauzer. He may not Mr Hague in the office, however, one Christmas,
:54:43. > :54:49.he got on the dining room table, eight mince pies. He had to go to
:54:50. > :54:57.the animal hospital, where $1300 later, two days later, he was taken
:54:58. > :55:01.home again. I would rather you peed in the leaves a palace than do
:55:02. > :55:06.things other. We have other presidential dogs will
:55:07. > :55:10.stop these were President Obama's dogs. They were Portuguese water dog
:55:11. > :55:13.'s. I think they were better behaved in the oval office. Who is Larry the
:55:14. > :55:26.cat? Ten Downing St! If you are looking for a good
:55:27. > :55:35.Twitter account to follow, Larry the cat is a very, very good tweeter. I
:55:36. > :55:44.like it. Apparently, I read today, Nicolas Sarkozy's dog was also badly
:55:45. > :55:50.behaved. Not the first dog that has misbehaved.
:55:51. > :55:59.Coming up next on BBC World News, we have outside source. For the UK, we
:56:00. > :56:01.have the headlines from Ben Brown. Katty Kay
