23/10/2017 Beyond 100 Days

Of Europe watching a Beyond 100 Days. The widow of a dead US

soldiers said President Trump could not remember her husband's name when

he phoned to after condolences. Her account goes the criticism of a

Democratic Congresswoman who hit out at the President's insensitively.

But Donald Trump disputes the account given, insisting he had been

very respectful. Telling tales after dinner, a German newspaper said the

British by Minister begged Europe to help her with the negotiation but

who briefed the reporter? And the Catalan parliament threatens to

ratify independence of Madrid moves to reassert control. Also on

ratify independence of Madrid moves to reassert control. Also programme,

thousands of young girls dealing with the consequences of becoming a

bride far too soon. I think about what I could have done or could have

been. And the French President's dog making quite a splash giving a

meeting. And let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag.

Hello and welcome. It's a solemn obligation, calling the grieving

wife of a fallen soldier. For a president, no job is harder and more

important. But last Tuesday, 12 days after for green beret 's were killed

in Niger, the widow of sergeant David Johnson received a call from

trumpet in her view was so incensed -- was so incensed that reduced

editors. Today, Marie should Johnson corroborated what Frederica Wilson

told us. She said he was unable to remember her name.

It's the president, he said he knew what he signed up

It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice

He could not remember my husband's name.

The only way he remembered his name was that he told me he had the

report in front of him. That's when he actually said La David. I heard

him stumbling trying to remember the name. That was hurting me the most

because if my husband is out there fighting for our country, and he

risks his life at our country, why can't you remember his name?

interview Mr Trump responded writing this on twitter...

That I speak to the Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun

Times. Thanks for joining us. I guess it's one thing to take on a

Democratic Congresswoman, it's quite another to take on the widow. This

is extraordinary by any circumstances of presidential

behaviour. What you are seeing and what the world is seeing in how

President Trump decided to keep a few going -- a feud going even after

this woman's husband, the day her husband was buried he sent out a

tweet, a provocative one, accusing this Congresswoman of being wacky,

and even today most of us and so many people around the world of

killing occurred now as a human, it's hard,

-- it's hard to give condolences. If I say something to hurt you, you

should make it better because they lost a loved one and you did not.

Last week I got the impression that the White House was time to shut

this issue down to move on and talk about the things they want to talk

about, tax reform or whatever. Do you think the people in the White

House saw the tweet from the president this morning and thought

by now. They've had a week of stumble. I was in the press briefing

room last week when John Kelly, T., himself a father, himself knowing

the grief that goes on, went in the beginning of his heartfelt talk talk

about the chilling effect it is to have a child killed in the military.

Then he went on to attack the Congresswoman and he was not right

in his facts which created another part of the controversy. This has

snowballed. What is well known is that nobody can control President

Trump's tweet and today is just the latest example. Looking from over

here, it seems this is running badly all the way from the beginning. What

she said this interview today was she was taken aback at the president

Michael her en route to receiving the casket as he was flown back in?

This deserves attention. That had to be some lack of staff activity, this

is one where we have human experience. He makes a call like

that when somebody is on their way to pick up the body of a loved one?

Most people must understand it is one of the most stressful moments of

your life, it might not be the moment you want even the president

in the best of circumstances, to make that call. This is just another

situation that was made worse partly by not even, possibly should not

happen in that day and time. The are confounded about it and I

understand. Thanks for joining us.. The conflicting accounts will be

subject of a congressional hearing this week but also questions about

the deployment more generally. Some senior senators including some on

the Senate armed services committee seem unaware the US has a thousand

soldiers in Niger. This spurned this with top Tele macro response in the

New York Times. Aside from those operations we do

know about in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, the authorisation for

the war on terror sign 16 years ago has been used by successive

presidents to expand combat operations to the Philippines,

Yemen, Djibouti, Somalia, Niger among others. That speak to a

special forces veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Does it

surprise frustrate you that Santa is that Lindsay Graham who sits on the

armed services committee doesn't seem to know that the US has a

thousand armed soldiers in Niger? It actually appalling and brings

disbelief, the armed services committee are brief and these

missions. The armed services committee was briefed on this and

centres like Lindsay spend better attention. In these classifieds

briefings, good Congress do more to keep a check and balance on what the

White House is doing and where he is deploying soldiers? Should they be

more involved? I don't know if they should be more involved or not, they

certainly have oversight abilities and they certainly have a say in how

these deployments go and I think it's downright cowardly for them

after the fact it to pretend that they did not know this was

happening. That is similarly to what happened in Benghazi in 2012 in that

many of our politicians claimed they had no idea we had people in Libya,

that simply isn't too, they were briefed on that as well. I was going

to ask you about the comparisons between Benghazi and what has

happened in Niger. Is it fair to draw those comparisons? It's like

comparing apples and oranges. One circumstance was the combating of

Boko Haram and ices in that particular country. What happened in

Benghazi was different, a counsellor got attacked, there's a lot of

foreshadowing and precipitation of that attack that we should have been

aware of. It was attacked to the State Department and CAA, it was

different and you can't compare them. What we do know, and.

Information is sketchy, what is your theory on how the soldiers were

detached from any back-up and support? Simply because Niger is a

landlocked country in Africa, a huge continent where you can get the

whole US in that twice over. In Afrikaans, the African command, it's

not in Africa, it's in Stuttgart in Germany. How you going to support

operations in central Africa is mystifying. This is how it goes.

There's only so many assets that we have available and there's not

enough logistics to supply every special forces mission all across

the globe 24 seven. They call these misused train and advise, supporting

local troops but is that just a cover for the covert missions that

go on in this country is? At times that happens but in this case, no.

It was a foreign internal defence where US special forces go in a

training locals and sometimes they were accompanied on operations or

getting closer to the battlefield. We've seen this recently in other

countries that the Philippines. US special advisers and Marine special

operations assisted Philippine forces on the seed. They want on the

front lines. This is similar to the media assignment. Thanks for joining

us. These are the sort of things Mrs Johnson wants, what went wrong and

why did this happen? After last week, the president might have been

cleaned drop it? It's the president has done

a reading of survival lessons and is more keen eye for an eye, then he is

with turning the other cheek. I'm sure an awful lot of people on the

White House and Capitol Hill wishes he'd done the latter. That's not the

roles, we know that. It attack, attack. Let's talk about things

here, the British minister has updated MPs this afternoon on the

progress of the Brexit negotiators after meeting with EU leaders last

week. But its theme the counter last Wednesday, that is though much the

focus. The report in a German newspaper claimed Theresa May begs

Jean-Claude Juncker for help and suggests that she appeared anxious

and tormented. Here is Alex Forsyth. Prime Minister, what are

you putting on the table? This time last week,

the Prime Minister left Her aim, to try to unblock Brexit

talks over dinner with senior The meal in the Belgian capital

was officially called constructive. An account in a German newspaper,

which said that Mrs May, under political pressure at home,

had pleaded for help from the EU. The president of the European

Commission reportedly said that she'd looked

nervous and disheartened. Jean-Claude Juncker,

according to the newspaper, said the Prime Minister seemed

like she had not slept for days. This morning, his senior aide

rejected the reports. He claimed it was an attempt

to frame the EU side And at a press briefing in Brussels,

a commission spokesman said this... I have to be very clear that

President Juncker would never have used the words attributed to him

and never would have We have never been

punitive on Brexit. We have said at all levels,

on many occasions, The European Commission president

was asked by the leak by our European correspondent, take a

listen to what he had to say. Can we ask about the dinner with Mrs May,

can you tell the press will happen? Never I'm surprised and shocked at

what has been written in the German press and repeated by the British

press. Nothing is true in all this. I had an excellent working dinner

with Theresa May, she was in good shape, she was not tired, she was

fighting as is her duty so everything for me was OK. She didn't

plead with you for help? No, that's not the style of British prime

ministers. Jean-Claude Juncker. There was concern about what happens

when the due killing the EQ, business leaders called for a swift

-- leaving the EU, business leaders could for a transition. Theresa May

remains optimistic that a deal can be agreed.

Mr Speaker, I am ambitions and positive about the future

If we're going to take a step forward together,

it must be on the basis of joint effort and endeavour between the UK

and the EU but I believe that by approaching these negotiations

in a constructive way, in the spirit of friendship and cooperation,

we can and will deliver the best possible outcome that

Let's go into this with Iain Duncan Smith hoof supported

-- let's big Iain Duncan Smith supported Brexit. I surprise? Now,

I'm used to this. The office has a track record, the same paper as I

recall had another one before the election, another briefing given to

them from apparently the President's office about much the same topic,

the views and the Prime Minister at the time and the rest of it. This

appears again in a German newspaper, the same one. Maybe Jean-Claude

Juncker had directly nothing to do with it but am absolutely certain

that it appears from all that is being said from journalists that his

chief of staff in Brussels, this is very much his kind of work. It may

well have backfired on him. He denies it? He's probably done it.

There's a lot about him now that is not very edifying, I have to say. He

is turning the president of the European Union into kind of Trump

like figure which is not very helpful in the course of these

talks. He has denied it today as have Mr Jean-Claude Juncker. Let's

talk about the issues in Parliament today, Theresa May was revising what

went on in Brussels last week. A lot of focus on the transition. Your

conservative colleague John Redwood said firms should prepare for a

smooth transition to WTO tariffs but expect the PM to bring home

something better, is that sensible advice? Very sensible advice to

expect that the firms themselves recognise that if we don't get a

free trade arrangements then we will have to have another amazement.

There is no vacuum. People talk right now free-trade arrangement and

no deal rather than a deal. The fact is there is a deal or a different

deal, and a different deal with we are trying to agreed but they've

been resistant to talking about there we hope to buy Christmas, is a

free-trade arrangement which is logged in the WTO as we leave, that

would be the best circumstance providing it's a good one.

Alternative is you leave under the WTO terms which rest of the world

operates under successfully, that way or may not entail tariff. The

WTO allows leading countries to have access to services that don't have

to open up the rest of the worth ten years. It's feasible to years

telling macro leave under WTO terms that still have a zero tariff

agreed, still going on. There are different ways of doing it that the

key point is, businesses should stop worrying about the transition or in

fermentation period because that surely can only be decided once you

know what the arrangements are and that as yet has not been decided,

notwithstanding the fact the British want to do it. The need to focus on

the eventual outcome. Eisai organisation should be less word,

isn't it their job to stand up for members' interest and they believe

it will be damaging to the UK if there is no agreement? The head of

Goldman Sachs ones he will take jobs to Frankfurt, that did seriously

damage the financial services industry, do you agree or be

damaging to the economy if there is no agreement? If there is no

agreement at all, it's an agreement under WTO terms, you don't walk out

into a vacuum, that the killing of global set of rules and it has to be

under those. It would be impossible to walk away and have no agreement

on those basis because that would be asked and the EU having an

relationship worse than Iran and the EU. It is about a free-trade

arrangement with them with a full negotiation element with financial

services. You say that both of UK, every worth of the UK as a general

belief in the first instance than say, a free-trade arrangement

providing it's a good one. But it's also damaging for the EU. The user

does a much higher proportion of six trade with us such as machinery, and

without the goods except, we the single biggest marketplace the EU

when we leave and that would be ridiculous for them not to want to

have some kind of arrangement. So the question isn't to say to

business don't worry, the idea is you need to get that arrangement but

if you don't it will be under WTO arrangement and they should make the

plans for the WTO setup but hope that we get that arrangement at the

same time. So to squeeze you, Iain Duncan Smith, thanks for joining us.

Spanish Prime Minister has promised to is expected to give authority to

call new elections. The Catalan leader has resisted internal

pressure to formally declare independence about the refused to

rule it out. They create divisions with the rest of... Let's speak to

our guest. Thanks for joining us. is the biggest concern for people,

how this unfold once the government takes back control of Catalonia

because we saw what happened during the referendum, how would the

national police move in and reassert its authority? Using one expression,

that is yours, let's not jump the gun. For the moment, this is a

return to the rule of law, they true vision under our Constitution. It's

the same article for the German constitution, in article 137, it is

our Senate that is examining the initiative by the government. What

has to be taken into account as the things in my opinion. Firstly, the

government has set in motion this constitutional provision, reluctant.

And the second is that what the government as look for is a broad

consensus of constitutional parties. This is a constitutional issue, this

is a big issue. The government has look for and seeks the backing of

the two constitutional abiding or constitutionalist and parties. They

have a big role in the Spanish life which is the Socialist party, that

is the other important but I can list of our transition. Of our

constitutional framework. The other is the new liberal... The issue that

worries people watching from Europe is that you have a situation where

the government in Spain says it retaking control and on the same day

on Friday, the possibility that the Catalan parliament will declare

independence, what happens then realistically? What happens again is

that we have a constitution, we have a leader, we have spent as a country

where rule of law prevail. What this provision is is not for taking

control, it is just to bring back the constitutional rule and the rule

of law to Catalonia. Because right now what we have is still today, the

authorities are succession list authorities. That is in Europe,

there has been a proud consensus on understanding that the European

Union is a construction of law and bylaw, I understand that this

instant message culture of hours, these hundred and 40 characters,

just going into constitution into the rule of law but this is a

business. So to interrupt but isn't that going to exacerbate tensions

extremely if you have a situation where there are national police

coming into Catalonia and telling local police they had to stand down?

You know, what do you want? Do you want to circumvent the rule of law?

Is this what Spain has to do? If Spain just let this go forward, just

a succession list regional government, just going beyond the

constitutional order, then this is a big blow for democracy. In Europe

and beyond Europe, democracy as a system. Within the framework of the

Constitution, everything. The Constitution has provisions, you can

reform the constitution but the constitution is a ground rule and

this has to be respected. Thanks for the

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days,

probably a good deal of tension. It will be interesting to see what the

civil service and police do, the Catalan foreigners say they are

expected to continue working with the parliament in Catalonia and

Barcelona. What happens of the Parliament isn't there and been

dissolved by Madrid, do they continue sitting, do they get in,

didn't have the boat declared their independence? All eyes on Barcelona

on Friday. This is an par from the BBC. Coming up the viewers on the

BBC News Channel and BBC World News, the Czech Republic Donald Trump,

what this tells us about voters in the Central European public? From

the city of killing occurred that never sleeps, it

has -- the city of New York is taking steps so it's not caught

napping. No huge changes to our weather tomorrow, there is a bit of

rain in the forecast and it's going to remain pretty mild particularly

across the southern half of the UK. A lot of cloud out there in the

Atlantic, this is a typical autumn picture and most of the cloud that

leaves for the moment, are streaming in from the south-west and there a

daisy chain of whether fronts up there, this is where the mile there

is a gross and it's moving sluggishly across our direction. Do

this evening and overnight, the daisy-chain of whether approaches

and it means that cloud, myths, truths all, hill fog and rain

getting into Pembrokeshire with the weather front extending to North UK.

Look at the first morning temperatures, rush-hour on Tuesday,

we have 15 in Plymouth, Taunton 16, 15 in London, Gloucester around 16,

a little bit colder there, less mild I should say in the north around

1113 degrees, maybe in Belfast were but it's raining as well so not a

grey start to the date but at least it's not freezing cold. What's going

to happen to the course of the day? The weather front keeps flooding in

from -- spreading from the south-west but

the southern counties might get some brightness, it will be too wet

there. In Newcastle and Belfast temperatures will be in at least the

mid-if not high teens. Through Wednesday, it looks like the

northern two thirds will biting, and the weather that will sit in the

south on top of us, it will be mild but a fair bit of cloud particularly

across south-western areas of the UK. On Thursday, and looks at the

clouds will increase again, and there's not an awful lot of change

has negated this week, some sunshine and cloud and back to sunshine, and

rain thrown in. High-pressure looks like it's set to build across the UK

as we head into Friday and the UK, the jet streams to the north of us

but as refined the jet stream make drag in some of the cool air if not

colder air, to at least northern parts of the UK through the course

of the weekend. So settled but it will turn a bit colder.

Our top stories, the widow of a fall in US soldier demands answers on why

she isn't allowed to see her husband's body. Theresa May says is

ambitious and positive about Brexit talks, but behind the scenes,

reports suggest a different story. Coming up in the next 30 minutes,

president Trump says he is good for business. In this case, it is the

newspaper business feeling a boost. You thought knife like -- nightlife

isn't what it used to be... Get in touch with us.

It is nearly three weeks since US troops were attacked in Niger, there

are conflicting reports on what happened. There will be an

investigation on it. We know that four green beret 's were killed.

As we have discussed, the call made to a widow last week has done

nothing to ease family pain this morning. Mrs Johnson spoke about the

questions she now wants answered. I want to know why it took them 48

hours to find my husband. Why couldn't I see my husband? Every

time I asked to see my husband, they didn't let me. What did they tell

you? They told me that he is in a severe rap and I wouldn't be able to

see him. I need to see him so I know that is my husband. I don't know

nothing. They won't show me a finger, a hand. I know my husband's

body from head to toe, and they won't let me see anything. I don't

know what's in that box. It could be due, for all I know. I need to see

my husband. I haven't seen him since he came home.

PJ Crowley joins us in the studio. Welcome to you. I will ask you two

questions on. One is your sense of an overview of what is happening.

Secondly, why wouldn't they let the widow see her dead husband's body?

I'm also a retired air force colonel. I understand both

perspectives of this. In some cases, the body is in a very difficult

situation, particularly if he is offered egregious wound in the

attack. The military impulse is to spare the family that final picture.

By the same token, ultimately, if the family pushes hard enough, the

military should respond to that. It would make an horrific situation

even worse. Just briefly how the situation has been handled by the

White House in the last week to ten days. Miserably. This is a case

where, while the president is breaking the mould of what

presidential means, this is where he has done damage, not only to his

Administration, but wounded others in the process. A week ago, or the

president needed to do was to respond to questions in a

presidential manner. But he said, he is engaged with military families,

he understands the sacrifice, but I do not think this is something that

needs to be discussed in public, but I understand the sacrifice our

troops are making in places like Niger. He gave an unusual response,

a harmful response, and now others are ensnared in this, including his

G. Four. Rex Tillerson has been travelling

today, he has travelled a lot, he was in Cabral and Baghdad today. He

got short shrift in Baghdad. He said at the weekend that he wanted the

Iranians militia to withdraw. But they say that is unnecessary.

14 years into this transitional period in a rut, and still the

Secretary of State cannot make and announced visit to an ally like Iraq

stop that tells you something about the uncertainty that overhangs the

future of Iran, given the Kurdish question about its aspiration for

independence. But then again, this is a horse that left the barn a long

time ago. There is no question, the primary beneficiary of invading Iraq

in 2003 is Iran, and their influence is still there stop it is fair to

say that Iraq's challenge going forward, and the state itself,

should have a monopoly on the major use of force. It needs to get its

arms around the various militia that undercut Iraqi sovereignty. This is

something that is a fundamental challenge for the Iraqi government.

The lever is re-add -- they need to get more involved. They have had

productive meetings, reconnecting the relationship between Baghdad and

re-O'Connell which was severed many years ago. It may be more feasible

-- Riyadh. Anything the Saudis do will be beneficial, but this is

still going to be a long-term challenge. Thank you for your time

and your insight. Great to have you with us. When you mention child

marriage, it is usually due to concerns about practices in

developing countries. But in the US, 25 out of 50 states have no minimum

age to be legally married. Every year, it is thought thousands

of often not even Tina 's, get married to men. -- teenagers.

What happened to Angel here in America may seem unexpected. She

feels her childhood was torn away from her. At the age of just 13, she

says her mother forced her into a marriage. I would love to go

back-to-school. After years of feeling there was no way out, she

finally escaped, and is speaking out about her childhood marriage for the

first time. I was a slave to my ex. I was a slave to the idea that my

mother wanted us to all be together, to have kids young stock and to do

all of that, I still have all of this emotional baggage of wanting to

have done something with my life by now. But I haven't been able to,

because I was too busy taking care of kids. It is really all the time

that I think about what I could have done, or could have been. Angel's

marriage fits an international pattern of child brides being far

more likely not to get an education, and to face Ireland abuse.

We might be talking about Angel's story here in rural Idaho, but this

is a national problem, because children are permitted to marry

across this country, with some states having no set minimum

marriage age at all. We extrapolate from the data, and estimate, in all

50 states, approximately a quarter of a million children that were

married in America between 2000 and 2010. Again, if we look at the data

we have from 38 states, we know this is overwhelmingly girls to adult

men. Cherie Johnson is trying to convince politicians in her home

state of Florida to change the laws that allowed her to be forced to

marry at the age of just 11. I got married to my rapist. The guy that

raped me. My mother saw fit for me to marry him to make the situation

of me getting pregnant, I can say, to make it look better overall. So,

rather than putting the handcuffs on him, at 20 years of age, they put

the handcuffs on me at age 11. For many, it is shocking to see the

numbers in black and white on an American marriage certificate.

Shocking is, still, to know that in much of the country, there is

nothing to stop it happening again today.

Let's get a round-up of the latest news. Tension is building ahead of

Kenya's presidential election rerun on Tuesday. The chief prosecutor

says she should be charged with inciting violence. The prosecutor

claims she caused damage at an election centre. The vote is being

boycotted by some, saying it is not free or fair.

Driving is carbon dioxide emissions are making

the oceans more acidic, predicting that infancy creatures will be

especially harmed. A British man diving off the Western

Australian coast has had an amazing escape from a shark, Jon Craig

became separated from his boat and was stalked by a giant tiger shark.

He managed to swims .5 from it is back to shore. He said shark was

extremely close and curious, and kept trying to work out what he was.

And if he was going to be on the menu or not.

More and more young Americans are signing up for online subscriptions

to national print publications. Papers like the New York Times,

would you believe, and magazines like the Atlantic. They are enjoying

increases of over 100% in the last year, according to Reuters

What is going on there? I thought it was the failing New York Times... I

went to baseball and I was sitting next to a newspaper executive,

weirdly enough. He started talking to me. He said we need to enjoy the

model of the Washington Times, who have cashed in brilliant Lee on the

anti-Trump sentiment there is in America. He felt his newspaper group

hadn't done that in. It seems at times, I think real collusion is

between the New York Times and Donald Trump will stop every time

the New York Times need a boost, they ring up Donald Trump and beg

him to say they are failing. He is good for business, they wheel out

these numbers that show that all their figures are up at the moment

because of Donald Trump. We would be out of business without him as well,

of course. If you feel there aren't enough

Populist billionaire leaders featured on Beyond 100 Days, we have

another one for you. There is said to be a new checkpoint Minister

after winning 30% in the general election.

He is the second richest man with a rich fortune made in chemicals, food

and media. The omens two newspapers and a radio station. He has missed

to run the country like a business but there have been? 'S over his

finances. He has been charged with fraud and faces investigation over

how he obtained EU funds for a farm and conference centre.

He has a line on anti-EU rhetoric, which we will oppose my grip quotas

set by Brussels. We caught up with Rob Cameron in Brussels, and we

asked if the Donald Trump comparisons are fair.

We shouldn't get too carried away comparisons with Donald Trump. Yes,

he is fantastically rich, Andrej Babis. He says he is richer than

Donald Trump. His fortune is estimated at $4 billion. Donald

Trump only has three, but there are some things in common. He is plain

speaking, he is a man of the people and he has a rather populist tinge

to some of his remarks. For me, the big difference between Donald Trump

and Andrej Babis is power. Donald Trump scored a massive victory in

the States and is now president. Andrej Babis scored a big victory

here, but he is a man about to be charged with leading Coalition talks

on forming a new government. It is not the same thing. He will find it

very frustrating to put together that Coalition, and forming a

stable, viable government. But he is not the only populist leader in

Eastern Europe, will this concerned the European Union? I think there

will be some concern, yes, in Brussels, Paris and Berlin. Andrej

Babis has been quick to say he is not anti-European. He has taken to

task the journalist in the foreign media that have described him and

his party as anti-Europe and Eurosceptic. The thing is, when you

look at the thing he says about Brussels and defending Czech

national interests against Brussels, and also his very, very negative

comments about the Euros. He says it is a failed project, and the Czechs

shouldn't sign up to it. Bureaucrats in Brussels and in European capitals

do have something to worry about with Andrej Babis. This is Beyond

100 Days, still to come, new files on the Association of President John

F. Kennedy are set to be released. We look at what they could reveal.

From today, here in London, drivers of older, more polluting vehicles

will have to pay an extra ?10 to drive through the City centre, the

charge applies to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006.

London has some of the most polluted streets in Europe,

swimming in nitrogen dioxide and tiny particles invisible

Pollution's linked to lung and heart disease with children

What I'm in favour of is encouraging people to change their behaviour

so they stop driving the most polluting vehicles and start moving

to either public transport, walking or cycling, or cleaner

From today, anybody crossing this line in an older vehicle

will have to pay an extra ?10 for the privilege, and it

looks like it's already affecting people's behaviour.

When they first talked about this scheme back in February,

they said around 10,000 vehicles per day would have to pay.

A few months later, they're now just talking about 6,500 vehicles,

which suggests that people are changing their cars and vans.

It will affect many vehicles registered before 2006.

If you include the congestion charge, midweek drivers

could actually pay more than ?21 a day.

Critics say it'll put small businesses under pressure.

Like Barry Neil, who mends computers then couriers them around the city.

More than 50% of our business is in via small career companies.

T charge means they're going to put their prices up or,

effectively, go out of business, which means that, therefore,

we're going to have to use bigger companies, which raises our bottom

line, which means we're going to pass that on to our clients.

It is not just a London bomb, many towns and cities have broken EU

pollution limits, Ponting calls for action. A London zone will be

extended in a few years with even tougher rules on who has to pay to

come in. You are watching tempering. Few

events in history draw as much interest and competing theories as

the death of President John F Caples assassination. He was killed in

Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald, but something the story -- something the

story goes deeper. Secret documents will be released from the case will

stop Donald Trump tweeted this weekend:

what could those files reveal? Joining us now is the BBC's Laura

Bicker. Such a fascinating story, so much speculation. What are we

anticipating? If you listen to scholars, they will tell you that

decades of secrecy might be about to come to an end. These documents were

locked away by law a 1992 law, 25 years ago, to quell conspiracy

theories. 30% of Americans still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald

didn't act alone. The documents that they will be looking to uncover are

any documents surrounding his visit to Mexico just weeks before the

assassination. It is there it is alleged he did with Cuban and Soviet

spies, and it is also alleged it has never been proven that he mentioned

killing the president and his intention to kill the president.

That is some of the things these documents can reveal. Subject to the

receipt of further information, he tweeted. Is that a get out clause?

There is a bit of a get out clause for the president. In a statement,

the White House said, if there is a national security reason why these

documents should not be released, then they won't be. However, it does

seem likely that many of them will be. We have had about 88% of them

released, there are 5 million documents on the Kennedy and --

assassination. These are the last remaining 1%. It is documents such

as the CIA profile on Lee Harvey Oswald. There are roles of document

relating to the testimony of CIA officers at the time. Scholars will

be looking to see what they knew. What did they tell Dallas police at

the time? And what come if at all, they knew that this previous US

member that defected to the Soviet Union was working on a site on

President's motorcade route. The president has accused the father of

Senator Ted Cruz of being some way in goods with Lee Harvey Oswald?

President Trumpism a stranger to conspiracy theories when it comes to

the Kennedy assassination. It was during a debate that he accused Ted

Cruz's father of being with Lee Harvey Oswald before the shooting,

that has never been proved. When it comes to conspiracy theories, he is

also behind the so-called movement that accused President Obama of not

being born in the United States. Yes, he has form. He has never run a

door apologised for that. Thank you for now.

It is known as the City that never sits, but is New York City losing

its lustre. Whoever gets the job will be charged

with promoting and protecting the rich culture that has long made the

City a draw for locals and tourists alike. It may sound like fun and

games, but there are real challenges that lie ahead.

It's the City that never sleeps. On the surface, night life in New York

looks vibrant. But smaller libraries it venues have declined by Wendy

percent over the last 15 years. The new nightmare's main challenge, to

promote a nightlife image that is often under siege. This man is the

driving force behind the creation of the new nightmare position. That's

the goal of the office, to make sure the City's nightlife have an

advocate where businesses feel they have a voice, and they are not being

preyed upon by the City and communities. The industry is

responsible for creating over 600,000 jobs across the City. It is

a over $10 million industry. The new nightmare and may lessen what

critics say is the stifling of nightlife businesses by City

government agencies. But creating a City appointed official to promote

and protect nightlife means this new nightmare is going to have to work

hard to win trust. I like the idea of somebody who would promote

nightlife, but I don't trust the idea of the government appointing

someone to do so. The New York City Governor has intervened in nightlife

negatively. And of Giuliani made it part of his campaign, but forgot

that nightlife is a huge part of life in New York.

The New York nightlife community is making its concerns known. It won't

let its new office of nightlife of the. This town Hall meeting has been

making demands on what the new nightmare should do. And what the

priority should be. Rachel Nelson owns three nightlife venues in

Brooklyn. We need them to be an advocate that stands up for us. We

had to stand up and say it is important, and what we do is

valuable, economically and socially and culturally.

And City Councilman hoped the new nightmare will ease the pressure on

New York's like these it venues. Those spaces are responsible for

creating those spaces that have attracted many of the young people

to move here and help the economy. Whoever is appointed to this new

nightlife position, there is the bonus of the job name. Being called

nightmare of New York has a certain cachet. An alternative title is

reserved for nightlife. A very different kind of job. Nightmare it

probably will be. My social life is a nightmare. What

do they call them, a box set that, now my daughter is on the scene and

my son. I'd never get out much. We have been talking... For you! I

know! It's hopeless. -- poor you. This is a great of a different kind,

this is the dog of the French president Emmanuel Macron, who has

made his presence felt. Take a look at this.

I've often felt like that about planning meetings. You have a dog,

is that right? Yeah. Do you bring your dog to work? Very occasionally,

but my dog would behave in an impeccable manner, is impeccably

booked up and would never dream of doing anything so rude. There is

Alfie! There is Alfie. What is Alfie? He is a miniature German

schnauzer. He may not Mr Hague in the office, however, one Christmas,

he got on the dining room table, eight mince pies. He had to go to

the animal hospital, where $1300 later, two days later, he was taken

home again. I would rather you peed in the leaves a palace than do

things other. We have other presidential dogs will

stop these were President Obama's dogs. They were Portuguese water dog

's. I think they were better behaved in the oval office. Who is Larry the

cat? Ten Downing St! If you are looking for a good

Twitter account to follow, Larry the cat is a very, very good tweeter. I

like it. Apparently, I read today, Nicolas Sarkozy's dog was also badly

behaved. Not the first dog that has misbehaved.

Coming up next on BBC World News, we have outside source. For the UK, we

have the headlines from Ben Brown. Katty Kay
