0:00:11 > 0:00:19You are watching Beyond 100 Days. Is Donald Trump and a loved fest or a
0:00:19 > 0:00:24hate spat?They have denounced the president, he's boasts a standing
0:00:24 > 0:00:29ovations.The latest to speak out says he can no longer be complicit
0:00:29 > 0:00:35in the President's bad behaviour.I have children and grandchildren to
0:00:35 > 0:00:43answer to and so, Mr President, I will not be complicit or silent.The
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Washington Post says Hillary Clinton's campaign funded the
0:00:46 > 0:00:52dossier about Donald Trump's ties to Russia. And a European Parliament
0:00:52 > 0:00:56debate on sexual violence against women ends up highlighting
0:00:56 > 0:00:59harassment in the institution itself.Also on the programme, he
0:00:59 > 0:01:07was named for his rhythm and blues sound. One of the biggest stars of
0:01:07 > 0:01:13the early rock and roll era has died at his home in Louisiana.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Marshalling the moves in New York, the ground controller with the
0:01:16 > 0:01:30little bit of extra. Do get in touch with us.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38Welcome. Christian Fraser is in London. Donald Trump says he is any
0:01:38 > 0:01:45lovefest with Republicans, which may seem odd after the last 24 hours. To
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Republican senators have rounded on the Government.One is stepping down
0:01:48 > 0:01:54because he feels he has a duty to stand up against Mr Trump. It came
0:01:54 > 0:01:58after his colleague said the president is dBase thing America.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Today the senator said other Republicans will speak out. Here is
0:02:02 > 0:02:08part of what he said on the Senate floor.Reckless, outrageous and
0:02:08 > 0:02:12undignified behaviour. This has become excused as telling it like it
0:02:12 > 0:02:20is. It is actually just reckless, outrageous and undignified. When
0:02:20 > 0:02:27such behaviour emanates from the top of Government, it is something else.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32It is dangerous to the democracy. So, to senators have now criticised
0:02:32 > 0:02:37the president. Just as noticeably, the other 50 have not.The president
0:02:37 > 0:02:42insists his party is united. In the past hour he gave us this
0:02:42 > 0:02:46description of the lunch yesterday with the senators.I called it a
0:02:46 > 0:02:52lovefest. Maybe it was a lovefest. We have standing ovation is. There
0:02:52 > 0:02:56is great unity. If you'll get the Democrats with Bernie Sanders and
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Hillary Clinton, that is a mess. There is great unity in the
0:03:00 > 0:03:06Republican Party.As he was saying if you minutes ago but if you look
0:03:06 > 0:03:11at the polls, his supporters still do seem to love him.A Paul found
0:03:11 > 0:03:1878% approve of the job he is doing. His overall rating is 42%. It has
0:03:18 > 0:03:23barely shifted through the summer. Numbers far better than Republicans
0:03:23 > 0:03:27in Congress. We have been speaking with the Republican congressmen for
0:03:27 > 0:03:34Illinois, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq with the US Air Force.You
0:03:34 > 0:03:37have been critical of Donald Trump on occasion. I was just wondering
0:03:37 > 0:03:45what you made of the comments in the Senate yesterday.He is a principled
0:03:45 > 0:03:49person and I think he meant what he said. I think it is not helpful for
0:03:49 > 0:03:54our party to have this big food fight in front of everybody. That
0:03:54 > 0:03:58happens on all sides. The president with Twitter and some of the
0:03:58 > 0:04:03comments from the Senate. We have a lot of things he went to achieve
0:04:03 > 0:04:06internationally and as a Republican to wake up every day and see this
0:04:06 > 0:04:09spread all over the national and world media is disheartening
0:04:09 > 0:04:14sometimes. Look, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I
0:04:14 > 0:04:19will be supportive of the president anyway I can and when I must I will
0:04:19 > 0:04:25be critical.That is my job. Let's talk International. You served in
0:04:25 > 0:04:28the air force in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you were in service
0:04:28 > 0:04:33now, would you be concerned that there is disagreement in the party
0:04:33 > 0:04:37was hampering in any way the ability of America to do its job around the
0:04:37 > 0:04:41world?Maybe a little concerned. You know, any time you have fights
0:04:41 > 0:04:48within a party or anything to do with foreign policy issues, they can
0:04:48 > 0:04:55be a hamstring. What do you mean by that? Because decisions... If the
0:04:55 > 0:04:57president makes a decision overseas, used to be that nothing was
0:04:57 > 0:05:05partisan. Now it can turn into a big internal debate here at home. Let me
0:05:05 > 0:05:10say this, the American military, and I served the British military in
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Iraq, the art of people and they have one mission and it is not
0:05:13 > 0:05:18something people like to hear, it is to take out the bad guys. If the
0:05:18 > 0:05:22military and the civilian leadership of America and the UK ask them to do
0:05:22 > 0:05:27it and they are good at it. A lot of the times these debates can be
0:05:27 > 0:05:32disheartening but the military goes way beyond that. It is bigger than
0:05:32 > 0:05:37that disputes. We like to discuss between ourselves that we are really
0:05:37 > 0:05:42good at what we do when we are overseas.When you are in the
0:05:42 > 0:05:46military, what is important is the temperament of your leaders. What
0:05:46 > 0:05:51the senator was talking about yesterday as he doesn't think this
0:05:51 > 0:05:54president has the temperament.Do you? That is a tough question to
0:05:54 > 0:05:58answer. I am not going to get in the middle. I do not like some of the
0:05:58 > 0:06:02things he puts on Twitter. Every morning you wake up and you cringed
0:06:02 > 0:06:06as you log into Twitter to see what he put. That is not exciting. I do
0:06:06 > 0:06:11think some of the tweets on international issues can actually be
0:06:11 > 0:06:18beneficial. Look at North Korea. You have reports that they have reached
0:06:18 > 0:06:22out to Republican consultants to say, what is Donald Trump made of?
0:06:22 > 0:06:28That can be some benefits but the American presidency has always been
0:06:28 > 0:06:33eager than moments and bigger than partisan debates, even though the
0:06:33 > 0:06:37debate tv-mac engaged in partisan debates.That is something I worry
0:06:37 > 0:06:41about. It is important what world leaders are thinking. When they look
0:06:41 > 0:06:46at today when he says, yesterday I got standing ovations. There was a
0:06:46 > 0:06:52lovefest. That is the sort of language we are used to hearing from
0:06:52 > 0:06:57different leaders, not the President of the United States.Yes, look, as
0:06:57 > 0:07:08I said, it is like white? Please do not. At the same time, interesting
0:07:08 > 0:07:14leaders, colourful leaders in the past, and you see that and you say,
0:07:14 > 0:07:19the relationships of countries go beyond what leaders say. They can be
0:07:19 > 0:07:23damaging but we always have a relationship that goes beyond it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27The president... Like I said, there are lots of things that I agree
0:07:27 > 0:07:32with. The tone I don't. Frankly, we are lucky because he has a lot of
0:07:32 > 0:07:37great people around him and he does tend to allow them I think to help
0:07:37 > 0:07:41him make decisions when it comes to things like what to do in Syria,
0:07:41 > 0:07:50Iran, etc.Thank you very much for joining us.Goodbye.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What do Trump's supporters make of all this.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Joining us now is Matt Schlapp who chairs the American
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Conservative Union.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Thank you for coming in. You heard a congressman they are seeing each
0:08:00 > 0:08:04wishes he would tone it down and stop treating.Do you reporters
0:08:04 > 0:08:09tv-mac supporters feel the same?I think it is unorthodox. It really
0:08:09 > 0:08:16worries the people who are the establishment in DC. This is not the
0:08:16 > 0:08:20way they have seen a president operate before. He goes around in
0:08:20 > 0:08:25America. Most of the media favours the Democrats and he tries to go
0:08:25 > 0:08:30around them. It is a real strategy to top two Americans and get around
0:08:30 > 0:08:34the media. Some of his tweets hit the target and some do not.Let's
0:08:34 > 0:08:40talk about the senator from Arizona. He has now said it is not the
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Republican party for him.He is a conservative Republican.Pretty
0:08:46 > 0:08:50conservative. 95% approval rating on conservative rating. He is not a
0:08:50 > 0:08:57liberal.We can get into a ratings that.The high 90s to the high 70s.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02He is not a liberal Republican.Not at all. If there is not room for
0:09:02 > 0:09:07him, what future do they have? He says there is not room, that is why
0:09:07 > 0:09:12he is leaving.I sell the speech and I thought it was compelling. He is
0:09:12 > 0:09:17leaving because he would lose any primary. That is not what he says.
0:09:17 > 0:09:24He is at 18%. He told me this personally. Bob Corker, why is he
0:09:24 > 0:09:29being so nasty? Because he could not win in a primary in Tennessee. She
0:09:29 > 0:09:33would not have got through a primary.There is nothing about what
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Jeff has just said that you would agree with in terms of the criticism
0:09:36 > 0:09:44of the nature of this presidency? That, I think there is no... There
0:09:44 > 0:09:47are Republicans that are uncomfortable with some of the
0:09:47 > 0:09:50aspects of the readership. I would acknowledge that but I would also
0:09:50 > 0:09:54say that most conservatives in this country, they want a Republican
0:09:54 > 0:09:58president who will fight hard and that is the part of Donald Trump
0:09:58 > 0:10:03they like, his conservative agenda and he fights back. Conservatives
0:10:03 > 0:10:07tend to not fight back. When the media pitches back, the crowd go
0:10:07 > 0:10:11under a rock. This guy does not do that.For your grassroots members,
0:10:11 > 0:10:18they want things doing and these two senators, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake
0:10:18 > 0:10:22are going to be around until January 20 19. They could vote against the
0:10:22 > 0:10:27agenda. Not only them but others, these are guys who do not see I'd
0:10:27 > 0:10:34either the president. What happens if the dig their heels in? People
0:10:34 > 0:10:39like Ben, he is 100% rating.He is going to do the Conservative thing
0:10:39 > 0:10:42each and every time. He does have a personal disagreement with the
0:10:42 > 0:10:47president and he takes them on. I think Jeff Flake I know and I
0:10:47 > 0:10:51respect, I do not think he will let his personal animosity get in the
0:10:51 > 0:10:55way for voting for the tax bill. I think he will do right by the
0:10:55 > 0:10:59country.Stay with us because we're going to talk about Hillary Clinton
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and we would like to get your thoughts on it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Hillary Clinton's campaign helped pay for what's become known
0:11:06 > 0:11:08as the Steele dossier - research by a former British spy
0:11:08 > 0:11:11that claimed Russia was trying to get Donald Trump elected and that
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Moscow had compromising evidence against Trump.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19The dossier was put together by
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Christopher Steele, who was recently interviewed by special
0:11:21 > 0:11:22counsel Bob Mueller's team.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26But who exactly commissioned it has always been a bit of a mystery.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Now the Washington Post is reporting that it was
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Hillary Clinton's campaign, along with the Democratic
0:11:30 > 0:11:31National Committee.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37A brief time ago President Trump addressed the issue.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42I understand they paid a tremendous amount of money and Hillary Clinton
0:11:42 > 0:11:46was denied it. The Democrats always denied it and now only because it is
0:11:46 > 0:11:51going to come out in a court case they said yes, they did it and the
0:11:51 > 0:11:55admitted it and they are embarrassed by it. I think it is a disgrace. It
0:11:55 > 0:12:03is a very sad commentary on politics in this country.We're joined now by
0:12:03 > 0:12:07one of the authors of the report.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Thank you very much for joining us. How damaging is this to Hillary
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Clinton and her campaign?I think it is a lot of political fuel. One of
0:12:17 > 0:12:22the big arguments the Republicans have been making is this whole
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Russian investigation is basically a witchhunt based on a false premise.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Obviously the more you can show that this began with political opposition
0:12:31 > 0:12:36research, democratic money, the more they think they can beat back the
0:12:36 > 0:12:40political issues about this investigation. Look, at this point,
0:12:40 > 0:12:45the investigation is up and running with the special counsel. Ben Miller
0:12:45 > 0:12:49and his people have known for a time what the origins of this document
0:12:49 > 0:12:53were. From their point of view, doesn't really affect them that
0:12:53 > 0:12:58much. They need to figure out what facts they can confirm.To some
0:12:58 > 0:13:03extent...Sorry to interrupt. One of the interesting things in the report
0:13:03 > 0:13:07is that you are saying that after the election the FBI agreed to
0:13:07 > 0:13:13continue gathering evidence on Trump and Russia but pulled out when his
0:13:13 > 0:13:18name became public.Right, we have reported that before. The issue
0:13:18 > 0:13:23became the FBI. If you think back to November of last year, the FBI was
0:13:23 > 0:13:26still interested in trying to figure this out and understand it better.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31They were willing to pay him to keep working. What happens in after that
0:13:31 > 0:13:37is the whole issue started to blow up in a sense because people... More
0:13:37 > 0:13:41bits and pieces from within the dossier are coming out and it is
0:13:41 > 0:13:46hard to be very good spy when you are in all the papers.Just to jump
0:13:46 > 0:13:51two steps ahead because this is obviously political, the Republican
0:13:51 > 0:13:55party are saying this is all phoney and this has been trumped up by the
0:13:55 > 0:14:00dossier. The dossier did not lead to the council's investigation, did it?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05It is part of it. It is part of it. It partly led the investigation.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09There is no question that some of what the dossier talked about became
0:14:09 > 0:14:15issues of investigation for the FBI. Look, we are in a practical and
0:14:15 > 0:14:20legal sense, we are well past that now. Whatever the origins of this
0:14:20 > 0:14:24thing are, it has now come to look at obstruction of justice and
0:14:24 > 0:14:28finances and all sorts of things that are beyond simply what was in
0:14:28 > 0:14:33that document.Thank you very much for joining us.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'm keen to get Matt Schlapp's perspective on this -
0:14:35 > 0:14:38he chairs the American Conservative Union.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43It doesn't undermine the nature of the investigation, does it, the fact
0:14:43 > 0:14:48that Hillary Clinton funded this dossier?No, but you have to
0:14:48 > 0:14:51remember at the beginning and end if you have a president in a question
0:14:51 > 0:14:56of whether he would have charges brought against him, impeachment and
0:14:56 > 0:15:00the House of Representatives, it is wrapped up in politics. The American
0:15:00 > 0:15:05people, they are fair. A lot of this looks like politics to start with,
0:15:05 > 0:15:10it helps Donald Trump. -- if it looks like this. How this dossier
0:15:10 > 0:15:18came about helps make the case that it is a lot of people making
0:15:18 > 0:15:20political charges.Is that not the problem for the Republicans, they
0:15:20 > 0:15:23lied about it. The campaign lied that they had funded this and now it
0:15:23 > 0:15:30came out that they did.Christian, he is the truth, if Hillary Clinton
0:15:30 > 0:15:34did not have such bad poll numbers on her character and honesty, I
0:15:34 > 0:15:39think she could be the president. She really has stopped tool on this
0:15:39 > 0:15:42basic question of character over and over again. I am going to disagree
0:15:42 > 0:15:46with you. I do not think people will be surprised that Hillary Clinton
0:15:46 > 0:15:51did not straight shoot with where this came from.Thank you very much
0:15:51 > 0:15:56for joining us. Great get your thoughts. It is so interesting to
0:15:56 > 0:16:00get Matt's opinion there and all of the noise we have been hearing out
0:16:00 > 0:16:04of the Senate. We keep going back to the poll numbers and have not moved
0:16:04 > 0:16:08much. Donald Trump's base is still very strong and that Paul gave us
0:16:08 > 0:16:12numbers that show that people did not like his leadership, his views
0:16:12 > 0:16:17on race, some of his attitudes. That has also been true for a long time
0:16:17 > 0:16:21that the still elected him and are sticking with him.What about this
0:16:21 > 0:16:26and we're goes in the Senate? We were asking that they are about the
0:16:26 > 0:16:28various senators who have expressed concerns about Donald Trump, to
0:16:28 > 0:16:34others, out?Jeff Flake says they will. I will be interested if Jeff
0:16:34 > 0:16:40Flake would be providing any names of the senators who might possibly
0:16:40 > 0:16:45come out. You and Matt were talking about some of them earlier, Susan
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Collins... We might get some but I would be surprised. I would be
0:16:48 > 0:16:55surprised if we got a floodgate. It is worth reminding our years, John
0:16:55 > 0:16:59McCain has brain cancer and Jeff Flake was up for a real election. We
0:16:59 > 0:17:03felt some kind of liberation to talk perhaps. This is not the beginning
0:17:03 > 0:17:08and of the Republican party abandoning President Trump. You know
0:17:08 > 0:17:15when we are in a sorry state when the shrimp fishing industry has been
0:17:15 > 0:17:19divided by politics. Yes, you heard that right. A lot of this people in
0:17:19 > 0:17:23the industry voted for Donald Trump hoping he would bring back jobs.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27What will his policies on the environment mean for the fragile
0:17:27 > 0:17:30ecosystems in which the fish? We have been to Mount Pleasant, South
0:17:30 > 0:17:37Carolina, to hear from both sides.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40A lot of people got out of the industry because there is no money
0:17:40 > 0:17:44to put back into boats or make a living, really. There are very few
0:17:44 > 0:17:55of us left.One of my grandfathers was a fisherman and my dad was one
0:17:55 > 0:18:03of the first shrimpers. Started going out when I was four years old.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08You can see the shrimp boats over here. It used to be 3-D and four on
0:18:08 > 0:18:15the side. Now we have sailboats, yachts and sports boats. That is
0:18:15 > 0:18:18something you do not want your son or daughter to get into an out the
0:18:18 > 0:18:23get used to be. Imports from China, Vietnam and the other places have
0:18:23 > 0:18:29affected the market. It drove the price down and flooded the market.
0:18:29 > 0:18:44You have all these warehouses full of frozen shrimps. I think Donald
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Trump is a businessman and I am a businessman and he looks out the
0:18:47 > 0:18:52businessman. We are in the right direction. Stay local, by local.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Keep America first. Let's unify the country. Let's stay with the
0:18:57 > 0:19:05programme.I am not optimistic that Trump can make the economy better. I
0:19:05 > 0:19:11know there are many people in South Carolina who disagree with us. The
0:19:11 > 0:19:16shrimp have been less abundant this year than they have in years past.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21When he degrades the environment, it will affect the shrimping
0:19:21 > 0:19:25communities and fishing communities. Demolishing the protections that we,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29as the country, have spent so long trying to fulfil. We have seen just
0:19:29 > 0:19:35through development is degradation of the marshes, which are the
0:19:35 > 0:19:39estuaries for shrimp. That is not going to get better by listening
0:19:39 > 0:19:47protections. We do not think the Trump administration is
0:19:47 > 0:19:57representative of us or our interests.Great pictures. When you
0:19:57 > 0:20:03have the fishing industry divided like that and you realise bringing

0:21:34 > 0:21:36at that time after Elvis Presley.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Our correspondent, Nick Higham has been taking a look back at his life.
0:21:40 > 0:21:48# One day, you cried...

0:22:21 > 0:22:25The genial Fats delighted crossover audiences and, in the process,

0:23:27 > 0:23:33A little known fact, I was born in a village called Blueberry and we used
0:23:33 > 0:23:37to think Blueberry Hill was about our village. I do not think it was.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42We used to sing at all the time. Liberally Hill is the first song I
0:23:42 > 0:23:48learned to play on the piano. My dad was a big fan. -- Blueberry Hill was
0:23:48 > 0:23:54the first song. He said the rock and roll stars were better than the

0:24:21 > 0:24:30Just listen... The captain is carrying on talking. Like nothing
0:24:30 > 0:24:36out of the ordinary is going on. Anyway, I got thinking to do. I had

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48why women in the European parliament are protesting, using
0:25:48 > 0:25:49the hashtag "me too".
0:25:49 > 0:25:50We'll get more from Strasbourg.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And abandoning Britain - we report from Poland and speak
0:25:53 > 0:25:56to the people who've left the UK - is Brexit solely to blame?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59That's still to come.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06That's still to come.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Plenty to talk about with the weather yet again.Another mild day
0:26:16 > 0:26:20for late October. To date we have seen more sunshine as well,
0:26:20 > 0:26:25particularly across the south where it was cloudy yesterday. Sane spells
0:26:25 > 0:26:32and scattered shower. You can see the peppering of shower clouds to
0:26:32 > 0:26:36the north-west. As we go through the evening, this cloud across the
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Channel, that weather front is going to drift its weight back northwards
0:26:40 > 0:26:43across England and Wales as you go through the night. We keep the
0:26:43 > 0:26:48clearer skies to the north. The possibility into Scotland and
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Northern Ireland and England to see the Aurora. If you are lucky enough,

0:26:58 > 0:27:02showery outbreaks of rain across Wales and some hillfort. He would
0:27:02 > 0:27:11keep the cloud. -- QB keep the cloud. Eight or 13 Celsius first
0:27:11 > 0:27:15thing. We start off on Thursday with the best of the sunshine in the
0:27:15 > 0:27:21north. It will be quite windy. That will drive in more showers. The
0:27:21 > 0:27:30weather front continues northwards. A brand of drizzle through Wales and
0:27:30 > 0:27:36across the south coast a few breaks, if we are lucky. 18 Celsius the
0:27:36 > 0:27:41height. Thursday will be the last day of that warmth. We are going to
0:27:41 > 0:27:44see a change. The weather front will weaken off and high pressure
0:27:44 > 0:27:50building as we go into Friday. A good deal of dry weather. The chilly
0:27:50 > 0:27:55start and a chillier fields to things. Once we have that out of the
0:27:55 > 0:27:59way, Saturday will be a quiet day. McLeod around and a noticeable
0:27:59 > 0:28:07change to the story as we move into Sunday. -- more cloud. A low into
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Scandinavia will introduce these strong and gusty winds from the
0:28:11 > 0:28:17north. That will make it feel quite cold in comparison to this week. The
0:28:17 > 0:28:24favoured spots for that the far north and north sea facing coasts.
0:28:24 > 0:28:2811 to 14 Celsius the high, further east is feeling cold. And on the
0:28:28 > 0:28:35strength of the wind, it is better. Take care.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17This is Beyond 100 Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington -
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Christian Fraser's in London.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Our top stories:
0:30:19 > 0:30:22President Trump calls his meeting with Republican senators a "love
0:30:22 > 0:30:23fest" but that hasn't calmed his feud
0:30:23 > 0:30:24with two in the room.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28One Republican Congressman told us that some are ready for it to stop.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30If I think it's not helpful for our party
0:30:30 > 0:30:33If I think it's not helpful for our party to have this kind of big food
0:30:33 > 0:30:38fight in front of everybody. Research funded Hillary Clinton's
0:30:38 > 0:30:43campaign resulted on the dossier on Donald Trump.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45That's according to a new report which works to connect the dots.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Coming up in the next half hour:
0:30:47 > 0:30:50What the hashtag "me too" tells us about sexual harassment
0:30:50 > 0:30:51in the European Parliament.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52We're live in Strasbourg to find out.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Wagering on the World Series.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55The governors of Texas and California are putting
0:30:55 > 0:30:57their hometown beverages on the line.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag
0:30:59 > 0:31:09#Beyond100Days.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12So Republican Senator Jeff Flake thinks President Trump's
0:31:12 > 0:31:13behaviour is dangerous to democracy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16In this op-ed in the Washington Post today,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Flake recounted a key moment in US political history.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23He referred to the McCarthy era - a time of heightened paranoia
0:31:23 > 0:31:26about Communist infiltration in the US.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Mr Flake told the story of Joseph Welch,
0:31:28 > 0:31:33the former Chief Counsel for the Army, who stood up
0:31:33 > 0:31:35to Senator Joseph McCarthy during a Congressional
0:31:35 > 0:31:37hearing in 1954.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40McCarthy had just accused Welsh's of hiring a lawyer in his Boston
0:31:40 > 0:31:42practice who himself had ties to Communism.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47And here's the moment Jo Welch fired back.
0:31:47 > 0:31:58You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
0:31:58 > 0:32:05Have you left no empathy?Have you no sense of decency? We want to get
0:32:05 > 0:32:10some historical perspective on this cut, see how it compares to the
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Republican party of the past.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Bob Walker was a Republican Congressman from 1977 to 1997.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Representing the great state of Pennsylvania, thank you for coming
0:32:18 > 0:32:24in. You saw that clip of Joe Welch taking on Joe McCarthy and you see
0:32:24 > 0:32:27all the debates today about the degradation of American society that
0:32:27 > 0:32:32comes from the top, Bob Corker has said. How different does it seem
0:32:32 > 0:32:37today from previous times?It is different and it has been made
0:32:37 > 0:32:40different, I think, by social media because what we have is the ability
0:32:40 > 0:32:44of people to divide themselves into tribes of the present time and that
0:32:44 > 0:32:49has an impact on the whole of politics and, sadly, it has a
0:32:49 > 0:32:59deleterious effect on political dialogue. I think that it is a
0:32:59 > 0:33:02matter of concern.Speaking about the Republican party in particular,
0:33:02 > 0:33:06you're part of are so many years, is this becoming a party where someone
0:33:06 > 0:33:11like Jeff Flake doesn't belong anymore?Well, I don't know if that
0:33:11 > 0:33:16is the case. He is in part reacting to his constituency. His
0:33:16 > 0:33:20constituency in Arizona is changing, it is not a very cold water
0:33:20 > 0:33:23constituency anymore, it's a purple state and I think what he has found
0:33:23 > 0:33:29is he is out of touch with both the Conservatives and the progressives
0:33:29 > 0:33:34in Arizona, and so it has become very difficult for him but, again,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38this kind of tribalism makes it very difficult for politicians to walk
0:33:38 > 0:33:42between the various groups that impact them.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47Bob, one of the lines in that speech yesterday went like this, "There is
0:33:47 > 0:33:51a sickness in our system and it's contagious. How much more damage to
0:33:51 > 0:33:54American liberty do we need to witness in silence before we count
0:33:54 > 0:34:01ourselves as complicit in that damage?" Does it disappoint you that
0:34:01 > 0:34:06some Republicans are just sitting there in silence?Well, I think it's
0:34:06 > 0:34:12disappointing that we have that kind of dialogue going on. I mean, I
0:34:12 > 0:34:15don't think there are a lot of people sitting in silence, I think
0:34:15 > 0:34:18there are a lot of people who look at what we have seen over the last
0:34:18 > 0:34:23few months and cringe at it. On the other hand, we also see a policy
0:34:23 > 0:34:28direction which the country is responding to. I mean, the fact is
0:34:28 > 0:34:32that Congress has passed in the house about 300 bills. Those haven't
0:34:32 > 0:34:37come out of the Senate at the present time but some of those 300
0:34:37 > 0:34:43bills, for instance addressing regulatory reform, we see that as
0:34:43 > 0:34:46something which is improving the economy, so I think a lot of people
0:34:46 > 0:34:51are separating out the policy successes from some of the
0:34:51 > 0:34:55cringeworthy moments that we get in the political dialogue.And if Joe
0:34:55 > 0:35:01Welch thought that the contagion back in the 1960s was McCarthyism
0:35:01 > 0:35:06and communism and the paranoia that it sewed into American society, is
0:35:06 > 0:35:10there a comparison with the day and is it the populism and the
0:35:10 > 0:35:13nationalism that we see not just in America but over here in Europe as
0:35:13 > 0:35:21well?Well, I'm not certain I would go as far as to say this is a
0:35:21 > 0:35:26McCarthyism kind of situation, but there is no doubt that there is a
0:35:26 > 0:35:30retreat towards nationalism in many countries and I think it's because
0:35:30 > 0:35:35people are fearful about all the change they see around them. I mean,
0:35:35 > 0:35:39we are going through a massive amount of technological change,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42economic change, political change, cultural change and a lot of people
0:35:42 > 0:35:47are very scared about this and so they retreat to nationalism and the
0:35:47 > 0:35:54recent Austrian election certainly was a -- retreat in that direction
0:35:54 > 0:35:58so it is not an American phenomenon. If you have the President's here and
0:35:58 > 0:36:03then asking to do one thing, what would it be?Do not conduct personal
0:36:03 > 0:36:06vendettas. As long as you are talking about the policies that you
0:36:06 > 0:36:12are pursuing, you have a vast number of people in the country who are
0:36:12 > 0:36:18with you. What they have is a difficult thing is to cringe every
0:36:18 > 0:36:26time you conduct a personal vendetta on somebody or something.Former
0:36:26 > 0:36:32Congressman Bob Walker, thank you for coming in, come back again.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35It's sadly ironic that as the European Parliament is set
0:36:35 > 0:36:38to debate sexual violence today - the institution itself has been
0:36:38 > 0:36:40the subject of multiple claims of abuse against women.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44At least four parliamentary aides say they have complained
0:36:44 > 0:36:45of assaults - including rape.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Media reports quote dozens more women who say they've
0:36:47 > 0:36:49been sexually harassed within the parliament itself.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Allegations include EU work contracts being offered
0:36:51 > 0:36:53in exchange for sex, as well as inappropriate
0:36:53 > 0:36:55text messages sent to young female staffers.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Our correspondent, Adam Fleming, reports from Brussels.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08This issue shot up the agenda of the European Parliament following the
0:37:08 > 0:37:13global campaign against sexual harassment.Me too, I have been
0:37:13 > 0:37:15sexually harassed, just like millions of other people, millions
0:37:15 > 0:37:21of other women in the European Union, and I think it's about time
0:37:21 > 0:37:24that we very clearly say that we should not be ashamed but that the
0:37:24 > 0:37:30perpetrators should be ashamed.But the spotlight push on on
0:37:30 > 0:37:32inappropriate behaviour in this building by MEPs towards their
0:37:32 > 0:37:41staff.The me too hashtag has brought in a great range of shocking
0:37:41 > 0:37:48stories from a number of sectors but also sadly from this house.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Masturbation in offices, women being harassed in the lift, these are
0:37:52 > 0:37:58things that should not exist in 2017. And what about the power
0:37:58 > 0:38:02relationship? If it is your boss doing it? You have got to pay your
0:38:02 > 0:38:10mortgage, feed your kids.It follows allegations made by Parliamentary
0:38:10 > 0:38:14assistants like Jan, who wrote a diary detailing incidents involving
0:38:14 > 0:38:21her and her colleagues, 47 of them. I received once an e-mail coming
0:38:21 > 0:38:27from a political adviser, this picture taken of myself without me
0:38:27 > 0:38:30knowing, obviously, working in a conference room and this man was
0:38:30 > 0:38:36taking pictures of me and sent it to me on my professional address in the
0:38:36 > 0:38:39middle of the night.Allegations are handled by an internal Parliamentary
0:38:39 > 0:38:44committee and it is made up of MEPs. Many here would like to see the
0:38:44 > 0:38:48appointment of external experts. That has been rejected by the
0:38:48 > 0:38:51parliament's president who says this solution is more awareness and
0:38:51 > 0:38:54better training and the authorities say there have been zero complaints
0:38:54 > 0:38:58of sexual harassment by MEPs.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00We're joined now from the European Parliament
0:39:00 > 0:39:05by Catherine Bearder, who is a parliamentarian
0:39:05 > 0:39:06on a committee that's
0:39:06 > 0:39:09devising a new policy to tackle harassment.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Thank you very much for being with us. I supposed we shouldn't be
0:39:14 > 0:39:17surprised because the thing that is familiar to both Hollywood and
0:39:17 > 0:39:20politics and to the European Parliament is that there are men in
0:39:20 > 0:39:28power who wield that power over women.Absolutely and members of the
0:39:28 > 0:39:32European Parliament are a powerful role. And wherever you get that
0:39:32 > 0:39:39domination of power and people who work for them, you will sometimes,
0:39:39 > 0:39:45sadly, get people abusing that power.So you are working on a
0:39:45 > 0:39:48committee that is trying to implement regulations. As you know,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52one of the reasons women don't come out as they are either afraid of
0:39:52 > 0:39:56hampering their careers or they are afraid they will be accused of
0:39:56 > 0:40:01lying. I'm not quite sure what you can do to stop that being the case.
0:40:01 > 0:40:09Well, it is by creating an atmosphere of zero tolerance and
0:40:09 > 0:40:13supportive work amongst the workforce, so that they realise that
0:40:13 > 0:40:18their jobs will not go if they speak out. It is very difficult, because,
0:40:18 > 0:40:24as I said, MEPs are quite powerful and especially a few have come from
0:40:24 > 0:40:29the country where the MEP has been elected, so it does take an enormous
0:40:29 > 0:40:34amount of bravery. Already, by experiencing harassment, whatever
0:40:34 > 0:40:40sort of harassment but in particular sexual harassment, it can demean
0:40:40 > 0:40:43people and undermined confidence, so we need to make sure that the whole
0:40:43 > 0:40:49parliament, the whole staff, understand this and are supportive
0:40:49 > 0:40:52and if somebody discloses even to a colleague that they know the roots
0:40:52 > 0:40:58to go to and the processes where they will be supported and assisted
0:40:58 > 0:41:02and we can take of the case and here that in our committee, in a
0:41:02 > 0:41:08harassment committee.Have you ever directly heard of a younger woman
0:41:08 > 0:41:11being sexually harassed? Have you been sexually harassed yourself in
0:41:11 > 0:41:17the parliament?I was a teenager in the 1960s and life was very
0:41:17 > 0:41:25difficult then. Certainly not in the parliament here, no. I grew up in a
0:41:25 > 0:41:27different environment and I am really pleased now that we are
0:41:27 > 0:41:33taking this on as an issue. And I think having more women in politics
0:41:33 > 0:41:37and more women working in senior management level helps that, because
0:41:37 > 0:41:41they have come through and they realise it is absolutely not
0:41:41 > 0:41:46acceptable for people in power to abuse that power and take advantage,
0:41:46 > 0:41:50especially of young women and the interns who are more vulnerable and
0:41:50 > 0:41:56are not protected. The committee has been set up for two and a half
0:41:56 > 0:41:59years, we have started our work, we have produced a booklet and have
0:41:59 > 0:42:02another one coming out for the assistants and we are looking at the
0:42:02 > 0:42:09processes of how we can support people who come forward. Hearing it
0:42:09 > 0:42:14is traumatic for the witnesses and traumatic for everybody involved, it
0:42:14 > 0:42:18is all done in confidence but that first bit of disclosing is so
0:42:18 > 0:42:22important, we need to make sure that people feel confident enough to
0:42:22 > 0:42:29actually voice their opinions.OK, thank you very much for joining us.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33The work on disclosure, Kristian, and secrecy around this and women
0:42:33 > 0:42:37feeling confident about speaking out, is so critical to trying to
0:42:37 > 0:42:40address the issue. But it is not unique to the European
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Parliament. I was thinking back to when I was the correspondent in
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Paris to an incident in 2012 in the French parliament, the Housing
0:42:48 > 0:42:53Minister, she went onto the floor in a flowery it was the middle of
0:42:53 > 0:42:58summer, and you could hardly hear her speak because there were these
0:42:58 > 0:43:01wolf whistles and noises from the parliamentarians in the house and
0:43:01 > 0:43:05this story we are showing you at the moment is on the BBC News website,
0:43:05 > 0:43:11have a look if you have time. It basically talks about French MPs who
0:43:11 > 0:43:15had been blacklisted by women staff, so they have a book, these aids
0:43:15 > 0:43:19within the French parliament, about MPs who misbehave who they shouldn't
0:43:19 > 0:43:22get stuck in a lift with and they swap notes over copy and at lunch
0:43:22 > 0:43:28about the ones who are a real danger. That is the sort of
0:43:28 > 0:43:31environment that has been in the French parliament, certainly when I
0:43:31 > 0:43:34was there and everybody talked about it and it is only at the Harvey
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Weinstein that people are starting to talk about this thing. I read
0:43:37 > 0:43:43today that someone like 140 people with different cases had come
0:43:43 > 0:43:49forward in the European Union since Weinstein.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53And what you are talking about happened just a few years ago and
0:43:53 > 0:43:55they still carrying on. Let's move on.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58In Kenya, the opposition leader has called on all Kenyans
0:43:58 > 0:43:59to boycott Thursday's presidential election re-run.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Raila Odinga called on people to either stay at home,
0:44:02 > 0:44:03or go somewhere to pray.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05The vote is going ahead after the Supreme Court failed
0:44:05 > 0:44:07to hear a last-minute petition to postpone it.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Our correspondent Anne Soy's report begins in western Kenya.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Kisumu is the opposition's heartland, where a stand-off now
0:44:16 > 0:44:21persists between their supporters and state security.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24The city is resolute no one will be going to the polls
0:44:24 > 0:44:27on Thursday here or across large swathes of opposition leaning
0:44:27 > 0:44:31areas around the country.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34In the capital Nairobi, a call to boycott the election.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38The opposition says it cannot be credible.
0:44:38 > 0:44:44When an injustice becomes law, resistance becomes a duty.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48And if there is no justice for the people, then there will be
0:44:48 > 0:44:53no peace for the Government.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55The opposition says that any election that will be held
0:44:55 > 0:44:59tomorrow will be a sham, it will not reflect the will
0:44:59 > 0:45:03of the people and there will be demand for a new one in 90 days.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05The country looked to the Supreme Court to unlock the stalemate,
0:45:05 > 0:45:07but there were no answers from this bench.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11Five out of seven judges were unavailable to hear the case
0:45:11 > 0:45:16seeking to stop the rerun.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Regrettably and with due apologies to all the parties,
0:45:20 > 0:45:27this matter cannot proceed to hearing this morning.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30The ruling party wants the vote to go on, if only
0:45:30 > 0:45:32to preserve their legitimacy should they win.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33The Electoral Commission is soldiering on.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Its chairman admits he cannot guarantee a free and fair election.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42With nearly half the country staying away, the outcome of Thursday's vote
0:45:42 > 0:45:44will be far from representative.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Serious questions of credibility will no doubt be raised here and
0:45:47 > 0:45:53within the international community.
0:45:58 > 0:46:05Let's have a look at some of the other news today.
0:46:05 > 0:46:13The UK Labour Party has suspended Jared O'Mara. The Sheffield Hallam
0:46:13 > 0:46:17MP has apologise for misogynistic and homophobic comments he posted 15
0:46:17 > 0:46:23years ago. He's also of verbally abusing a woman earlier this year.
0:46:23 > 0:46:34The BBC has accused Iran of launching an offensive against staff
0:46:34 > 0:46:39at BBC Persian service. There was an investigation into 152 stats, former
0:46:39 > 0:46:43staff members and contributors. Iran claims a conspiracy against
0:46:43 > 0:46:48national-security and has also frozen the assets of BBC personnel.
0:46:48 > 0:46:54This is Beyond 100 Days and still to come...
0:46:54 > 0:46:55saying goodbye to Britain.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57We speak to the Poles packing their bag
0:46:57 > 0:46:59and returning home - does Brexit have anything
0:46:59 > 0:47:00to do with it?
0:47:00 > 0:47:01We'll be finding out.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04The UK's economy had higher than expected growth in the three
0:47:04 > 0:47:06months to September - increasing the chances of a rise
0:47:06 > 0:47:07in interest rates next month.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10The Office for National Statistics suggests the level of GDP,
0:47:10 > 0:47:13or the total amount of goods and services produced in the UK,
0:47:13 > 0:47:17rose by 0.4%, with strong performances being seen
0:47:17 > 0:47:22in the services and manufacturing industries.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed reports.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Not exactly firing on all cylinders but today better news
0:47:28 > 0:47:31on the economy that will have cheered the Chancellor.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33He visited the Francis Crick Research Centre in London,
0:47:33 > 0:47:35just the kind of high-skilled
0:47:35 > 0:47:42innovation he would like to encourage.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45A little bit of autumnal sunshine fell on the economy today
0:47:45 > 0:47:48and the Chancellor is certainly in a better mood but at the Treasury
0:47:48 > 0:47:51they don't quite believe it's time to hang out the bunting.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52That Brexit risk is still there and productivity
0:47:52 > 0:47:54a continuing problem.
0:47:54 > 0:48:02That's our ability to create wealth which leads to wage rises.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05For people like Sadie and Cindy, who live near Leeds, the household
0:48:05 > 0:48:06economy is still stretched.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Working for the public sector, we haven't had
0:48:08 > 0:48:09a real pay rise for years.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11I mean, it's been capped, hasn't it?
0:48:11 > 0:48:14So, no.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18That to me, yes, if I could say I was going to get a decent pay
0:48:18 > 0:48:20rise, maybe something above inflation,
0:48:20 > 0:48:26then that would help.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29These are the kind of people that Labour wants to speak to,
0:48:29 > 0:48:31arguing that the present Government is not delivering.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33OECD, IMF, the OBR, all those independent forecasters have said
0:48:33 > 0:48:35growth is pulling back.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Wages stagnating, but also, more importantly, productivity
0:48:38 > 0:48:42stagnating, so we're falling behind our competitors.
0:48:42 > 0:48:52In this Budget that's coming up, he's got to change direction.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55All attention now on the Bank of England which will decide next week
0:48:55 > 0:48:56whether to raise interest rates.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58With growth stronger and inflation higher, many now believe
0:48:58 > 0:49:03they will for the first time in ten years.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Many EU migrants living in the UK say they're afraid Brexit
0:49:13 > 0:49:16will affect their right to remain there - indeed addressing those
0:49:16 > 0:49:20fears as soon as possible is one of the few things the EU
0:49:20 > 0:49:21and the British Government agree on.
0:49:21 > 0:49:28They both say it should be at the heart of the divorce negotiations.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30There are some signs it's being addressed already.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32In the 12 months to March,
0:49:32 > 0:49:3346,000 migrants from countries
0:49:33 > 0:49:34like Poland left Britain.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36That's 59 per cent more than in previous years.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38But is Brexit the sole cause of the flight?
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Our Europe Correspondent Kevin Connolly reports
0:49:40 > 0:49:46from central Poland.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49In cities like Lodz, there are signs that the tide
0:49:49 > 0:49:50is beginning to turn.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Thousands of migrants worried by Brexit and tempted by improving
0:49:52 > 0:49:59wages in Poland are coming home from the UK.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02This research scientist says that in part, it is a brain drain
0:50:02 > 0:50:08that the UK might come to regret.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10After Brexit she started worrying about pensions and passports.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12She heard the call of home.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15If a lot of people leave, you will need to think
0:50:15 > 0:50:17about what will happen to that gap.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21If you have enough British people to fill it, that is amazing
0:50:21 > 0:50:26and you will be able to survive without us.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30If not, then you might need us more than we need
0:50:30 > 0:50:33you because we can go somewhere else, right?
0:50:33 > 0:50:37Poland's National Government says Brexit is a factor here but argues
0:50:37 > 0:50:40this is really a story about a boom economy with higher wages and lower
0:50:40 > 0:50:47unemployment, offering prosperity to its own people.
0:50:47 > 0:50:52First of all, it is about the lowest unemployment level in Poland now.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54That is about an economy that is booming.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56People are getting more money.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59We have great social support for the young.
0:50:59 > 0:51:04We started with the children and now we are starting with apartments.
0:51:04 > 0:51:08It is better and better and better step-by-step.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Much of the money transforming buildings like this old linen mill
0:51:11 > 0:51:21into swanky shops and cinemas comes from the European Union.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Piotr says his decision was not about money,
0:51:24 > 0:51:25he found post Brexit Britain too
0:51:25 > 0:51:26worrying to live in.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30I am waiting for the decision how Brexit will look like.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33What is going to be happening with my pension?
0:51:33 > 0:51:37What is going to happen with a lot of things?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40The economic booms don't last forever, of course.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43But being tied the European Union, rather than the Soviet Union has
0:51:43 > 0:51:48transformed these once grim streets.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53Brexit means uncertainty for many EU citizens living in the UK.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57For some Poles, the prospect of prosperity beginning to appear
0:51:57 > 0:52:01through the Autumn gloom is enough to tip the balance on one
0:52:01 > 0:52:05of life's biggest questions, what country to call home?
0:52:15 > 0:52:18That is what European governments always said, as the standards of
0:52:18 > 0:52:21living started to equalise across Europe, people would naturally go
0:52:21 > 0:52:25home. Whenever I was travelling as a foreign correspondent, I always had
0:52:25 > 0:52:29my heart set on going home, I was never going to stay forever in that
0:52:29 > 0:52:32country and I guess a lot of people feel the same way.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35And you have had the same thing here because as the Mexican economy
0:52:35 > 0:52:40picked up, for example, that is the reason there has been net migration
0:52:40 > 0:52:48back south across to Mexico and not into the United States. There are
0:52:48 > 0:52:51more jobs there, people want to go home to their families. If the jobs
0:52:51 > 0:52:53aren't here, they are not going to come, they will follow the money.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56You don't often hear me talking about baseball, but I will do now
0:52:56 > 0:53:01but it is mostly about blues, I think. --
0:53:01 > 0:53:03-- booze.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Last night, the World Series kicked off in California pitting
0:53:05 > 0:53:07the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Houston Astros.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09The Dodgers came away with the first win in the
0:53:09 > 0:53:12best-of-seven series but it is a bet between the two state governors
0:53:12 > 0:53:13which grabbed our attention.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16Should California win it all, they will be the recipient
0:53:16 > 0:53:21of of a six-pack of Houston-brewed beer and Texas barbeque.
0:53:21 > 0:53:26the Government Jerry Brown of California will get the beer and the
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Texas governor will get the wine.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30If they lose, they better be ready to part with a selection
0:53:30 > 0:53:32of wine from their famous vineyards.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34The wager has added significance after Houston suffered from record
0:53:34 > 0:53:36flooding after Hurricane Harvey and California is recovering
0:53:36 > 0:53:41from deadly wildfires.
0:53:41 > 0:53:46When I read this story, I thought, hang on, the Texas governor is
0:53:46 > 0:53:51handing over a six-pack of barbecue beer, what I read over in one of the
0:53:51 > 0:53:56papers today and if he wins, the Texas governor gets wine from Napa,
0:53:56 > 0:54:00Sonoma and Mendocino. That is not a fair deal.
0:54:00 > 0:54:08I am rooting for the wine ones. When we get sports stories, I'm so glad
0:54:08 > 0:54:11you're here. 3-1, they won last night. I have
0:54:11 > 0:54:15been looking at some fact, the Dodgers last won the World Series in
0:54:15 > 0:54:211988 and the Astros have never won it since they were formed in 1962.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25The Astros are tired, right? They have been travelling a lot, so the
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Dodgers have a good chance. Anyway, they will be swimming in
0:54:28 > 0:54:31beer. I surprised you there with a little bit of knowledge.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Coming up next on BBC World News - Ros Atkins is here with
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Outside Source and viewers in the UK will get the latest
0:54:37 > 0:54:39headlines from Ben Brown.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43I am going to spare you that rendition of Blueberry Hill that I
0:54:43 > 0:54:47learned as a child but I am going to play you out with that and another
0:54:47 > 0:54:52of Fats Domino's biggest hits. The American singer sadly has died at
0:54:52 > 0:54:58the age of 89.From ours, goodbye. # I found my freedom
