You are watching Beyond 100 Days. Is

Donald Trump and a loved fest or a

0:00:110:00:19

hate spat?

They have denounced the

president, he's boasts a standing

0:00:190:00:24

ovations.

The latest to speak out

says he can no longer be complicit

0:00:240:00:29

in the President's bad behaviour.

I

have children and grandchildren to

0:00:290:00:35

answer to and so, Mr President, I

will not be complicit or silent.

The

0:00:350:00:43

Washington Post says Hillary

Clinton's campaign funded the

0:00:430:00:46

dossier about Donald Trump's ties to

Russia. And a European Parliament

0:00:460:00:52

debate on sexual violence against

women ends up highlighting

0:00:520:00:56

harassment in the institution

itself.

Also on the programme, he

0:00:560:00:59

was named for his rhythm and blues

sound. One of the biggest stars of

0:00:590:01:07

the early rock and roll era has died

at his home in Louisiana.

0:01:070:01:13

Marshalling the moves in New York,

the ground controller with the

0:01:130:01:16

little bit of extra. Do get in touch

with us.

0:01:160:01:30

Welcome. Christian Fraser is in

London. Donald Trump says he is any

0:01:320:01:38

lovefest with Republicans, which may

seem odd after the last 24 hours. To

0:01:380:01:45

Republican senators have rounded on

the Government.

One is stepping down

0:01:450:01:48

because he feels he has a duty to

stand up against Mr Trump. It came

0:01:480:01:54

after his colleague said the

president is dBase thing America.

0:01:540:01:58

Today the senator said other

Republicans will speak out. Here is

0:01:580:02:02

part of what he said on the Senate

floor.

Reckless, outrageous and

0:02:020:02:08

undignified behaviour. This has

become excused as telling it like it

0:02:080:02:12

is. It is actually just reckless,

outrageous and undignified. When

0:02:120:02:20

such behaviour emanates from the top

of Government, it is something else.

0:02:200:02:27

It is dangerous to the democracy.

So, to senators have now criticised

0:02:270:02:32

the president. Just as noticeably,

the other 50 have not.

The president

0:02:320:02:37

insists his party is united. In the

past hour he gave us this

0:02:370:02:42

description of the lunch yesterday

with the senators.

I called it a

0:02:420:02:46

lovefest. Maybe it was a lovefest.

We have standing ovation is. There

0:02:460:02:52

is great unity. If you'll get the

Democrats with Bernie Sanders and

0:02:520:02:56

Hillary Clinton, that is a mess.

There is great unity in the

0:02:560:03:00

Republican Party.

As he was saying

if you minutes ago but if you look

0:03:000:03:06

at the polls, his supporters still

do seem to love him.

A Paul found

0:03:060:03:11

78% approve of the job he is doing.

His overall rating is 42%. It has

0:03:110:03:18

barely shifted through the summer.

Numbers far better than Republicans

0:03:180:03:23

in Congress. We have been speaking

with the Republican congressmen for

0:03:230:03:27

Illinois, who fought in Afghanistan

and Iraq with the US Air Force.

You

0:03:270:03:34

have been critical of Donald Trump

on occasion. I was just wondering

0:03:340:03:37

what you made of the comments in the

Senate yesterday.

He is a principled

0:03:370:03:45

person and I think he meant what he

said. I think it is not helpful for

0:03:450:03:49

our party to have this big food

fight in front of everybody. That

0:03:490:03:54

happens on all sides. The president

with Twitter and some of the

0:03:540:03:58

comments from the Senate. We have a

lot of things he went to achieve

0:03:580:04:03

internationally and as a Republican

to wake up every day and see this

0:04:030:04:06

spread all over the national and

world media is disheartening

0:04:060:04:09

sometimes. Look, everybody is

entitled to their own opinion. I

0:04:090:04:14

will be supportive of the president

anyway I can and when I must I will

0:04:140:04:19

be critical.

That is my job. Let's

talk International. You served in

0:04:190:04:25

the air force in Iraq and

Afghanistan. If you were in service

0:04:250:04:28

now, would you be concerned that

there is disagreement in the party

0:04:280:04:33

was hampering in any way the ability

of America to do its job around the

0:04:330:04:37

world?

Maybe a little concerned. You

know, any time you have fights

0:04:370:04:41

within a party or anything to do

with foreign policy issues, they can

0:04:410:04:48

be a hamstring. What do you mean by

that? Because decisions... If the

0:04:480:04:55

president makes a decision overseas,

used to be that nothing was

0:04:550:04:57

partisan. Now it can turn into a big

internal debate here at home. Let me

0:04:570:05:05

say this, the American military, and

I served the British military in

0:05:050:05:10

Iraq, the art of people and they

have one mission and it is not

0:05:100:05:13

something people like to hear, it is

to take out the bad guys. If the

0:05:130:05:18

military and the civilian leadership

of America and the UK ask them to do

0:05:180:05:22

it and they are good at it. A lot of

the times these debates can be

0:05:220:05:27

disheartening but the military goes

way beyond that. It is bigger than

0:05:270:05:32

that disputes. We like to discuss

between ourselves that we are really

0:05:320:05:37

good at what we do when we are

overseas.

When you are in the

0:05:370:05:42

military, what is important is the

temperament of your leaders. What

0:05:420:05:46

the senator was talking about

yesterday as he doesn't think this

0:05:460:05:51

president has the temperament.

Do

you? That is a tough question to

0:05:510:05:54

answer. I am not going to get in the

middle. I do not like some of the

0:05:540:05:58

things he puts on Twitter. Every

morning you wake up and you cringed

0:05:580:06:02

as you log into Twitter to see what

he put. That is not exciting. I do

0:06:020:06:06

think some of the tweets on

international issues can actually be

0:06:060:06:11

beneficial. Look at North Korea. You

have reports that they have reached

0:06:110:06:18

out to Republican consultants to

say, what is Donald Trump made of?

0:06:180:06:22

That can be some benefits but the

American presidency has always been

0:06:220:06:28

eager than moments and bigger than

partisan debates, even though the

0:06:280:06:33

debate tv-mac engaged in partisan

debates.

That is something I worry

0:06:330:06:37

about. It is important what world

leaders are thinking. When they look

0:06:370:06:41

at today when he says, yesterday I

got standing ovations. There was a

0:06:410:06:46

lovefest. That is the sort of

language we are used to hearing from

0:06:460:06:52

different leaders, not the President

of the United States.

Yes, look, as

0:06:520:06:57

I said, it is like white? Please do

not. At the same time, interesting

0:06:570:07:08

leaders, colourful leaders in the

past, and you see that and you say,

0:07:080:07:14

the relationships of countries go

beyond what leaders say. They can be

0:07:140:07:19

damaging but we always have a

relationship that goes beyond it.

0:07:190:07:23

The president... Like I said, there

are lots of things that I agree

0:07:230:07:27

with. The tone I don't. Frankly, we

are lucky because he has a lot of

0:07:270:07:32

great people around him and he does

tend to allow them I think to help

0:07:320:07:37

him make decisions when it comes to

things like what to do in Syria,

0:07:370:07:41

Iran, etc.

Thank you very much for

joining us.

Goodbye.

0:07:410:07:50

What do Trump's supporters

make of all this.

0:07:500:07:52

Joining us now is Matt Schlapp

who chairs the American

0:07:520:07:54

Conservative Union.

0:07:540:07:55

Thank you for coming in. You heard a

congressman they are seeing each

0:07:550:08:00

wishes he would tone it down and

stop treating.

Do you reporters

0:08:000:08:04

tv-mac supporters feel the same?

I

think it is unorthodox. It really

0:08:040:08:09

worries the people who are the

establishment in DC. This is not the

0:08:090:08:16

way they have seen a president

operate before. He goes around in

0:08:160:08:20

America. Most of the media favours

the Democrats and he tries to go

0:08:200:08:25

around them. It is a real strategy

to top two Americans and get around

0:08:250:08:30

the media. Some of his tweets hit

the target and some do not.

Let's

0:08:300:08:34

talk about the senator from Arizona.

He has now said it is not the

0:08:340:08:40

Republican party for him.

He is a

conservative Republican.

Pretty

0:08:400:08:46

conservative. 95% approval rating on

conservative rating. He is not a

0:08:460:08:50

liberal.

We can get into a ratings

that.

The high 90s to the high 70s.

0:08:500:08:57

He is not a liberal Republican.

Not

at all. If there is not room for

0:08:570:09:02

him, what future do they have? He

says there is not room, that is why

0:09:020:09:07

he is leaving.

I sell the speech and

I thought it was compelling. He is

0:09:070:09:12

leaving because he would lose any

primary. That is not what he says.

0:09:120:09:17

He is at 18%. He told me this

personally. Bob Corker, why is he

0:09:170:09:24

being so nasty? Because he could not

win in a primary in Tennessee. She

0:09:240:09:29

would not have got through a

primary.

There is nothing about what

0:09:290:09:33

Jeff has just said that you would

agree with in terms of the criticism

0:09:330:09:36

of the nature of this presidency?

That, I think there is no... There

0:09:360:09:44

are Republicans that are

uncomfortable with some of the

0:09:440:09:47

aspects of the readership. I would

acknowledge that but I would also

0:09:470:09:50

say that most conservatives in this

country, they want a Republican

0:09:500:09:54

president who will fight hard and

that is the part of Donald Trump

0:09:540:09:58

they like, his conservative agenda

and he fights back. Conservatives

0:09:580:10:03

tend to not fight back. When the

media pitches back, the crowd go

0:10:030:10:07

under a rock. This guy does not do

that.

For your grassroots members,

0:10:070:10:11

they want things doing and these two

senators, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake

0:10:110:10:18

are going to be around until January

20 19. They could vote against the

0:10:180:10:22

agenda. Not only them but others,

these are guys who do not see I'd

0:10:220:10:27

either the president. What happens

if the dig their heels in? People

0:10:270:10:34

like Ben, he is 100% rating.

He is

going to do the Conservative thing

0:10:340:10:39

each and every time. He does have a

personal disagreement with the

0:10:390:10:42

president and he takes them on. I

think Jeff Flake I know and I

0:10:420:10:47

respect, I do not think he will let

his personal animosity get in the

0:10:470:10:51

way for voting for the tax bill. I

think he will do right by the

0:10:510:10:55

country.

Stay with us because we're

going to talk about Hillary Clinton

0:10:550:10:59

and we would like to get your

thoughts on it.

0:10:590:11:03

Hillary Clinton's campaign helped

pay for what's become known

0:11:030:11:06

as the Steele dossier -

research by a former British spy

0:11:060:11:08

that claimed Russia was trying

to get Donald Trump elected and that

0:11:080:11:11

Moscow had compromising

evidence against Trump.

0:11:110:11:13

The dossier was put together by

0:11:130:11:19

Christopher Steele, who was recently

interviewed by special

0:11:190:11:21

counsel Bob Mueller's team.

0:11:210:11:22

But who exactly commissioned it has

always been a bit of a mystery.

0:11:220:11:26

Now the Washington Post

is reporting that it was

0:11:260:11:28

Hillary Clinton's campaign,

along with the Democratic

0:11:280:11:30

National Committee.

0:11:300:11:31

A brief time ago President Trump

addressed the issue.

0:11:310:11:37

I understand they paid a tremendous

amount of money and Hillary Clinton

0:11:370:11:42

was denied it. The Democrats always

denied it and now only because it is

0:11:420:11:46

going to come out in a court case

they said yes, they did it and the

0:11:460:11:51

admitted it and they are embarrassed

by it. I think it is a disgrace. It

0:11:510:11:55

is a very sad commentary on politics

in this country.

We're joined now by

0:11:550:12:03

one of the authors of the report.

0:12:030:12:07

Thank you very much for joining us.

How damaging is this to Hillary

0:12:070:12:12

Clinton and her campaign?

I think it

is a lot of political fuel. One of

0:12:120:12:17

the big arguments the Republicans

have been making is this whole

0:12:170:12:22

Russian investigation is basically a

witchhunt based on a false premise.

0:12:220:12:26

Obviously the more you can show that

this began with political opposition

0:12:260:12:31

research, democratic money, the more

they think they can beat back the

0:12:310:12:36

political issues about this

investigation. Look, at this point,

0:12:360:12:40

the investigation is up and running

with the special counsel. Ben Miller

0:12:400:12:45

and his people have known for a time

what the origins of this document

0:12:450:12:49

were. From their point of view,

doesn't really affect them that

0:12:490:12:53

much. They need to figure out what

facts they can confirm.

To some

0:12:530:12:58

extent...

Sorry to interrupt. One of

the interesting things in the report

0:12:580:13:03

is that you are saying that after

the election the FBI agreed to

0:13:030:13:07

continue gathering evidence on Trump

and Russia but pulled out when his

0:13:070:13:13

name became public.

Right, we have

reported that before. The issue

0:13:130:13:18

became the FBI. If you think back to

November of last year, the FBI was

0:13:180:13:23

still interested in trying to figure

this out and understand it better.

0:13:230:13:26

They were willing to pay him to keep

working. What happens in after that

0:13:260:13:31

is the whole issue started to blow

up in a sense because people... More

0:13:310:13:37

bits and pieces from within the

dossier are coming out and it is

0:13:370:13:41

hard to be very good spy when you

are in all the papers.

Just to jump

0:13:410:13:46

two steps ahead because this is

obviously political, the Republican

0:13:460:13:51

party are saying this is all phoney

and this has been trumped up by the

0:13:510:13:55

dossier. The dossier did not lead to

the council's investigation, did it?

0:13:550:14:00

It is part of it. It is part of it.

It partly led the investigation.

0:14:000:14:05

There is no question that some of

what the dossier talked about became

0:14:050:14:09

issues of investigation for the FBI.

Look, we are in a practical and

0:14:090:14:15

legal sense, we are well past that

now. Whatever the origins of this

0:14:150:14:20

thing are, it has now come to look

at obstruction of justice and

0:14:200:14:24

finances and all sorts of things

that are beyond simply what was in

0:14:240:14:28

that document.

Thank you very much

for joining us.

0:14:280:14:33

I'm keen to get Matt Schlapp's

perspective on this -

0:14:330:14:35

he chairs the American Conservative

Union.

0:14:350:14:38

It doesn't undermine the nature of

the investigation, does it, the fact

0:14:380:14:43

that Hillary Clinton funded this

dossier?

No, but you have to

0:14:430:14:48

remember at the beginning and end if

you have a president in a question

0:14:480:14:51

of whether he would have charges

brought against him, impeachment and

0:14:510:14:56

the House of Representatives, it is

wrapped up in politics. The American

0:14:560:15:00

people, they are fair. A lot of this

looks like politics to start with,

0:15:000:15:05

it helps Donald Trump. -- if it

looks like this. How this dossier

0:15:050:15:10

came about helps make the case that

it is a lot of people making

0:15:100:15:18

political charges.

Is that not the

problem for the Republicans, they

0:15:180:15:20

lied about it. The campaign lied

that they had funded this and now it

0:15:200:15:23

came out that they did.

Christian,

he is the truth, if Hillary Clinton

0:15:230:15:30

did not have such bad poll numbers

on her character and honesty, I

0:15:300:15:34

think she could be the president.

She really has stopped tool on this

0:15:340:15:39

basic question of character over and

over again. I am going to disagree

0:15:390:15:42

with you. I do not think people will

be surprised that Hillary Clinton

0:15:420:15:46

did not straight shoot with where

this came from.

Thank you very much

0:15:460:15:51

for joining us. Great get your

thoughts. It is so interesting to

0:15:510:15:56

get Matt's opinion there and all of

the noise we have been hearing out

0:15:560:16:00

of the Senate. We keep going back to

the poll numbers and have not moved

0:16:000:16:04

much. Donald Trump's base is still

very strong and that Paul gave us

0:16:040:16:08

numbers that show that people did

not like his leadership, his views

0:16:080:16:12

on race, some of his attitudes. That

has also been true for a long time

0:16:120:16:17

that the still elected him and are

sticking with him.

What about this

0:16:170:16:21

and we're goes in the Senate? We

were asking that they are about the

0:16:210:16:26

various senators who have expressed

concerns about Donald Trump, to

0:16:260:16:28

others, out?

Jeff Flake says they

will. I will be interested if Jeff

0:16:280:16:34

Flake would be providing any names

of the senators who might possibly

0:16:340:16:40

come out. You and Matt were talking

about some of them earlier, Susan

0:16:400:16:45

Collins... We might get some but I

would be surprised. I would be

0:16:450:16:48

surprised if we got a floodgate. It

is worth reminding our years, John

0:16:480:16:55

McCain has brain cancer and Jeff

Flake was up for a real election. We

0:16:550:16:59

felt some kind of liberation to talk

perhaps. This is not the beginning

0:16:590:17:03

and of the Republican party

abandoning President Trump. You know

0:17:030:17:08

when we are in a sorry state when

the shrimp fishing industry has been

0:17:080:17:15

divided by politics. Yes, you heard

that right. A lot of this people in

0:17:150:17:19

the industry voted for Donald Trump

hoping he would bring back jobs.

0:17:190:17:23

What will his policies on the

environment mean for the fragile

0:17:230:17:27

ecosystems in which the fish? We

have been to Mount Pleasant, South

0:17:270:17:30

Carolina, to hear from both sides.

0:17:300:17:37

A lot of people got out of the

industry because there is no money

0:17:370:17:40

to put back into boats or make a

living, really. There are very few

0:17:400:17:44

of us left.

One of my grandfathers

was a fisherman and my dad was one

0:17:440:17:55

of the first shrimpers. Started

going out when I was four years old.

0:17:550:18:03

You can see the shrimp boats over

here. It used to be 3-D and four on

0:18:030:18:08

the side. Now we have sailboats,

yachts and sports boats. That is

0:18:080:18:15

something you do not want your son

or daughter to get into an out the

0:18:150:18:18

get used to be. Imports from China,

Vietnam and the other places have

0:18:180:18:23

affected the market. It drove the

price down and flooded the market.

0:18:230:18:29

You have all these warehouses full

of frozen shrimps. I think Donald

0:18:290:18:44

Trump is a businessman and I am a

businessman and he looks out the

0:18:440:18:47

businessman. We are in the right

direction. Stay local, by local.

0:18:470:18:52

Keep America first. Let's unify the

country. Let's stay with the

0:18:520:18:57

programme.

I am not optimistic that

Trump can make the economy better. I

0:18:570:19:05

know there are many people in South

Carolina who disagree with us. The

0:19:050:19:11

shrimp have been less abundant this

year than they have in years past.

0:19:110:19:16

When he degrades the environment, it

will affect the shrimping

0:19:160:19:21

communities and fishing communities.

Demolishing the protections that we,

0:19:210:19:25

as the country, have spent so long

trying to fulfil. We have seen just

0:19:250:19:29

through development is degradation

of the marshes, which are the

0:19:290:19:35

estuaries for shrimp. That is not

going to get better by listening

0:19:350:19:39

protections. We do not think the

Trump administration is

0:19:390:19:47

representative of us or our

interests.

Great pictures. When you

0:19:470:19:57

have the fishing industry divided

like that and you realise bringing

0:19:570:20:03

back jobs... We have is looking to

industries but it is more than that,

0:20:030:20:09

it is all of the industry is

balanced against those who are

0:20:090:20:12

concerned with his environmental

record.

And traditional industries

0:20:120:20:18

where jobs are disappearing. It is

difficult to bring jobs back to

0:20:180:20:21

those industries.

0:20:210:20:31

Let's talk about Brexit now.

Crowds

of people have lined the streets of

0:20:310:20:42

Bangkok to pay their final respect

to the late king. His son, the new

0:20:420:20:47

king, oversaw a prayer ceremony. The

first of events that will see the

0:20:470:20:51

year long period of mourning come to

an end.

Rex Tillerson is in Delhi

0:20:510:20:58

where he says the US will stand

shoulder to shoulder with India to

0:20:580:21:01

fight terrorism. He met the Prime

Minister and expressed concern

0:21:010:21:06

terror groups are doubled he was one

of the biggest stars of the early

0:21:060:21:18

rock and roll era.

0:21:180:21:22

Fats Domino, who has died

in Louisiana at the age of 89.

0:21:220:21:25

Among the hits, plenty

you will know, Aint that a Shame,

0:21:250:21:27

'Blueberry Hill' 'Walking

to New Orleans' there

0:21:270:21:29

were plenty of others.

0:21:290:21:30

He sold 65 million

singles in those years,

0:21:300:21:32

with 23 gold records,

making him the second biggest artist

0:21:320:21:34

at that time after Elvis Presley.

0:21:340:21:36

Our correspondent, Nick Higham has

been taking a look back at his life.

0:21:360:21:40

# One day, you cried...

0:21:400:21:48

Antoine Fats Domino started playing

piano in the bars of New Orleans,

0:21:480:21:53

rolling rhythm and blues

with its rich jazz and Latin roots.

0:21:530:21:59

# But I love to see with a smile...

0:22:000:22:09

# When you said goodbye...

0:22:100:22:12

# Ain't that shame...

0:22:120:22:13

But soon he developed

a much more popular style,

0:22:130:22:15

one of the first black artists

to top the white dominated charts.

0:22:150:22:21

The genial Fats delighted crossover

audiences and, in the process,

0:22:210:22:25

found he'd helped to

invent rock'n'roll.

0:22:250:22:28

# I've found my thrill

0:22:280:22:33

# On Blueberry Hill...

0:22:330:22:43

Blueberry Hill was one of 30

top 40 hits, though one

0:22:430:22:46

he didn't write.

0:22:460:22:49

He made millions and gambled

much of it away but went

0:22:490:22:51

on playing into old age.

0:22:510:22:56

When Hurricane Katrina

hit his hometown in 2005,

0:22:560:22:58

he chose to stay at home

and was rumoured dead.

0:22:580:23:01

Later, there was a visit

from George W Bush to present

0:23:010:23:05

Fats Domino a gold medal lost

in the floods and looting.

0:23:050:23:08

As for his music, it remained

as appealing and infectious as ever.

0:23:080:23:18

Fats Domino, one of

the kings of rock'n'roll,

0:23:210:23:23

has died at the age of 89.

0:23:230:23:27

A little known fact, I was born in a

village called Blueberry and we used

0:23:270:23:33

to think Blueberry Hill was about

our village. I do not think it was.

0:23:330:23:37

We used to sing at all the time.

Liberally Hill is the first song I

0:23:370:23:42

learned to play on the piano. My dad

was a big fan. -- Blueberry Hill was

0:23:420:23:48

the first song. He said the rock and

roll stars were better than the

0:23:480:23:54

English crooners.

Nice. You travel a

lot, don't you?

Isn't the dullest

0:23:540:24:04

part the bit where you taxi on the

runway? What if you sort this guy

0:24:040:24:10

out of the window? Look at this. I

love this. I really love this

0:24:100:24:16

because after have a Shandy I don't

like this. What I like about this.

0:24:160:24:21

Just listen... The captain is

carrying on talking. Like nothing

0:24:210:24:30

out of the ordinary is going on.

Anyway, I got thinking to do. I had

0:24:300:24:36

a long afternoon. Beer with me. He

should be listening to the higher

0:24:360:24:41

it, he has got a song in his head.

What song is you listening to's this

0:24:410:24:48

is the one...

You had we too much

time on your hands.

See what you

0:24:480:24:51

think.

# Praying for this moment to last.

0:24:510:24:59

# I've been moving so fast. Look at

that sidestepped. He has been moves.

0:24:590:25:09

# Night Fever, no fever.

How good

would you low be best every day you

0:25:090:25:21

went to the job and that was your

attitude?

I do not know what it says

0:25:210:25:28

about my music list.

I am going to

start playing that in the studio.

0:25:280:25:34

Give us a bit of the post shandy

wiggle.

0:25:340:25:40

This is Beyond 100

Days from the BBC.

0:25:400:25:43

Coming up for viewers on the BBC

News Channel and BBC World News,

0:25:430:25:46

why women in the European parliament

are protesting, using

0:25:460:25:48

the hashtag "me too".

0:25:480:25:49

We'll get more from Strasbourg.

0:25:490:25:50

And abandoning Britain -

we report from Poland and speak

0:25:500:25:53

to the people who've left the UK -

is Brexit solely to blame?

0:25:530:25:56

That's still to come.

0:25:560:25:59

That's still to come.

0:25:590:26:06

Plenty to talk about with the

weather yet again.

Another mild day

0:26:100:26:16

for late October. To date we have

seen more sunshine as well,

0:26:160:26:20

particularly across the south where

it was cloudy yesterday. Sane spells

0:26:200:26:25

and scattered shower. You can see

the peppering of shower clouds to

0:26:250:26:32

the north-west. As we go through the

evening, this cloud across the

0:26:320:26:36

Channel, that weather front is going

to drift its weight back northwards

0:26:360:26:40

across England and Wales as you go

through the night. We keep the

0:26:400:26:43

clearer skies to the north. The

possibility into Scotland and

0:26:430:26:48

Northern Ireland and England to see

the Aurora. If you are lucky enough,

0:26:480:26:53

sent in some photographs. As we go

through the night, McLeod and

0:26:530:26:58

showery outbreaks of rain across

Wales and some hillfort. He would

0:26:580:27:02

keep the cloud. -- QB keep the

cloud. Eight or 13 Celsius first

0:27:020:27:11

thing. We start off on Thursday with

the best of the sunshine in the

0:27:110:27:15

north. It will be quite windy. That

will drive in more showers. The

0:27:150:27:21

weather front continues northwards.

A brand of drizzle through Wales and

0:27:210:27:30

across the south coast a few breaks,

if we are lucky. 18 Celsius the

0:27:300:27:36

height. Thursday will be the last

day of that warmth. We are going to

0:27:360:27:41

see a change. The weather front will

weaken off and high pressure

0:27:410:27:44

building as we go into Friday. A

good deal of dry weather. The chilly

0:27:440:27:50

start and a chillier fields to

things. Once we have that out of the

0:27:500:27:55

way, Saturday will be a quiet day.

McLeod around and a noticeable

0:27:550:27:59

change to the story as we move into

Sunday. -- more cloud. A low into

0:27:590:28:07

Scandinavia will introduce these

strong and gusty winds from the

0:28:070:28:11

north. That will make it feel quite

cold in comparison to this week. The

0:28:110:28:17

favoured spots for that the far

north and north sea facing coasts.

0:28:170:28:24

11 to 14 Celsius the high, further

east is feeling cold. And on the

0:28:240:28:28

strength of the wind, it is better.

Take care.

0:28:280:28:35

This is Beyond 100 Days,

with me Katty Kay in Washington -

Christian Fraser's in London.

0:30:170:30:18

Our top stories:

0:30:180:30:19

President Trump calls his meeting

with Republican senators a "love

0:30:190:30:22

fest" but that hasn't

calmed his feud

0:30:220:30:23

with two in the room.

0:30:230:30:24

One Republican Congressman told us

that some are ready for it to stop.

0:30:240:30:28

If I think it's not helpful for our

party

0:30:280:30:30

If I think it's not helpful for our

party to have this kind of big food

0:30:300:30:33

fight in front of everybody.

Research funded Hillary Clinton's

0:30:330:30:38

campaign resulted on the dossier on

Donald Trump.

0:30:380:30:43

That's according to a new report

which works to connect the dots.

0:30:430:30:45

Coming up in the next half hour:

0:30:450:30:47

What the hashtag "me too" tells us

about sexual harassment

0:30:470:30:50

in the European Parliament.

0:30:500:30:51

We're live in Strasbourg

by using the hashtag

#Beyond100Days.

0:30:590:31:09

So Republican Senator Jeff Flake

thinks President Trump's

0:31:100:31:12

behaviour is dangerous to democracy.

0:31:120:31:13

In this op-ed in the

Washington Post today,

0:31:130:31:16

Flake recounted a key moment

in US political history.

0:31:160:31:19

He referred to the McCarthy era -

a time of heightened paranoia

0:31:190:31:23

about Communist

infiltration in the US.

0:31:230:31:26

Mr Flake told the story

of Joseph Welch,

0:31:260:31:28

the former Chief Counsel

for the Army, who stood up

0:31:280:31:33

to Senator Joseph McCarthy

during a Congressional

0:31:330:31:35

hearing in 1954.

0:31:350:31:37

McCarthy had just accused Welsh's

of hiring a lawyer in his Boston

0:31:370:31:40

practice who himself

had ties to Communism.

0:31:400:31:42

And here's the moment

Jo Welch fired back.

0:31:420:31:47

You have done enough. Have you no

sense of decency, sir, at long last?

0:31:470:31:58

Have you left no empathy?

Have you

no sense of decency? We want to get

0:31:580:32:05

some historical perspective on this

cut, see how it compares to the

0:32:050:32:10

Republican party of the past.

0:32:100:32:11

Bob Walker was a Republican

Congressman from 1977 to 1997.

0:32:110:32:16

Representing the great state of

Pennsylvania, thank you for coming

0:32:160:32:18

in. You saw that clip of Joe Welch

taking on Joe McCarthy and you see

0:32:180:32:24

all the debates today about the

degradation of American society that

0:32:240:32:27

comes from the top, Bob Corker has

said. How different does it seem

0:32:270:32:32

today from previous times?

It is

different and it has been made

0:32:320:32:37

different, I think, by social media

because what we have is the ability

0:32:370:32:40

of people to divide themselves into

tribes of the present time and that

0:32:400:32:44

has an impact on the whole of

politics and, sadly, it has a

0:32:440:32:49

deleterious effect on political

dialogue. I think that it is a

0:32:490:32:59

matter of concern.

Speaking about

the Republican party in particular,

0:32:590:33:02

you're part of are so many years, is

this becoming a party where someone

0:33:020:33:06

like Jeff Flake doesn't belong

anymore?

Well, I don't know if that

0:33:060:33:11

is the case. He is in part reacting

to his constituency. His

0:33:110:33:16

constituency in Arizona is changing,

it is not a very cold water

0:33:160:33:20

constituency anymore, it's a purple

state and I think what he has found

0:33:200:33:23

is he is out of touch with both the

Conservatives and the progressives

0:33:230:33:29

in Arizona, and so it has become

very difficult for him but, again,

0:33:290:33:34

this kind of tribalism makes it very

difficult for politicians to walk

0:33:340:33:38

between the various groups that

impact them.

0:33:380:33:42

Bob, one of the lines in that speech

yesterday went like this, "There is

0:33:420:33:47

a sickness in our system and it's

contagious. How much more damage to

0:33:470:33:51

American liberty do we need to

witness in silence before we count

0:33:510:33:54

ourselves as complicit in that

damage?" Does it disappoint you that

0:33:540:34:01

some Republicans are just sitting

there in silence?

Well, I think it's

0:34:010:34:06

disappointing that we have that kind

of dialogue going on. I mean, I

0:34:060:34:12

don't think there are a lot of

people sitting in silence, I think

0:34:120:34:15

there are a lot of people who look

at what we have seen over the last

0:34:150:34:18

few months and cringe at it. On the

other hand, we also see a policy

0:34:180:34:23

direction which the country is

responding to. I mean, the fact is

0:34:230:34:28

that Congress has passed in the

house about 300 bills. Those haven't

0:34:280:34:32

come out of the Senate at the

present time but some of those 300

0:34:320:34:37

bills, for instance addressing

regulatory reform, we see that as

0:34:370:34:43

something which is improving the

economy, so I think a lot of people

0:34:430:34:46

are separating out the policy

successes from some of the

0:34:460:34:51

cringeworthy moments that we get in

the political dialogue.

And if Joe

0:34:510:34:55

Welch thought that the contagion

back in the 1960s was McCarthyism

0:34:550:35:01

and communism and the paranoia that

it sewed into American society, is

0:35:010:35:06

there a comparison with the day and

is it the populism and the

0:35:060:35:10

nationalism that we see not just in

America but over here in Europe as

0:35:100:35:13

well?

Well, I'm not certain I would

go as far as to say this is a

0:35:130:35:21

McCarthyism kind of situation, but

there is no doubt that there is a

0:35:210:35:26

retreat towards nationalism in many

countries and I think it's because

0:35:260:35:30

people are fearful about all the

change they see around them. I mean,

0:35:300:35:35

we are going through a massive

amount of technological change,

0:35:350:35:39

economic change, political change,

cultural change and a lot of people

0:35:390:35:42

are very scared about this and so

they retreat to nationalism and the

0:35:420:35:47

recent Austrian election certainly

was a -- retreat in that direction

0:35:470:35:54

so it is not an American phenomenon.

If you have the President's here and

0:35:540:35:58

then asking to do one thing, what

would it be?

Do not conduct personal

0:35:580:36:03

vendettas. As long as you are

talking about the policies that you

0:36:030:36:06

are pursuing, you have a vast number

of people in the country who are

0:36:060:36:12

with you. What they have is a

difficult thing is to cringe every

0:36:120:36:18

time you conduct a personal vendetta

on somebody or something.

Former

0:36:180:36:26

Congressman Bob Walker, thank you

for coming in, come back again.

0:36:260:36:32

It's sadly ironic that

as the European Parliament is set

0:36:320:36:35

to debate sexual violence today -

the institution itself has been

0:36:350:36:38

the subject of multiple claims

of abuse against women.

0:36:380:36:40

At least four parliamentary aides

say they have complained

0:36:400:36:44

of assaults - including rape.

0:36:440:36:45

Media reports quote dozens more

women who say they've

0:36:450:36:47

been sexually harassed

within the parliament itself.

0:36:470:36:49

Allegations include EU work

contracts being offered

0:36:490:36:51

in exchange for sex,

as well as inappropriate

0:36:510:36:53

text messages sent to

young female staffers.

0:36:530:36:55

Our correspondent, Adam Fleming,

reports from Brussels.

0:36:550:36:59

This issue shot up the agenda of the

European Parliament following the

0:37:030:37:08

global campaign against sexual

harassment.

Me too, I have been

0:37:080:37:13

sexually harassed, just like

millions of other people, millions

0:37:130:37:15

of other women in the European

Union, and I think it's about time

0:37:150:37:21

that we very clearly say that we

should not be ashamed but that the

0:37:210:37:24

perpetrators should be ashamed.

But

the spotlight push on on

0:37:240:37:30

inappropriate behaviour in this

building by MEPs towards their

0:37:300:37:32

staff.

The me too hashtag has

brought in a great range of shocking

0:37:320:37:41

stories from a number of sectors but

also sadly from this house.

0:37:410:37:48

Masturbation in offices, women being

harassed in the lift, these are

0:37:480:37:52

things that should not exist in

2017. And what about the power

0:37:520:37:58

relationship? If it is your boss

doing it? You have got to pay your

0:37:580:38:02

mortgage, feed your kids.

It follows

allegations made by Parliamentary

0:38:020:38:10

assistants like Jan, who wrote a

diary detailing incidents involving

0:38:100:38:14

her and her colleagues, 47 of them.

I received once an e-mail coming

0:38:140:38:21

from a political adviser, this

picture taken of myself without me

0:38:210:38:27

knowing, obviously, working in a

conference room and this man was

0:38:270:38:30

taking pictures of me and sent it to

me on my professional address in the

0:38:300:38:36

middle of the night.

Allegations are

handled by an internal Parliamentary

0:38:360:38:39

committee and it is made up of MEPs.

Many here would like to see the

0:38:390:38:44

appointment of external experts.

That has been rejected by the

0:38:440:38:48

parliament's president who says this

solution is more awareness and

0:38:480:38:51

better training and the authorities

say there have been zero complaints

0:38:510:38:54

of sexual harassment by MEPs.

0:38:540:38:58

We're joined now from

the European Parliament

0:38:580:39:00

by Catherine Bearder,

who is a parliamentarian

0:39:000:39:05

on a committee that's

0:39:050:39:06

devising a new policy

to tackle harassment.

0:39:060:39:09

Thank you very much for being with

us. I supposed we shouldn't be

0:39:100:39:14

surprised because the thing that is

familiar to both Hollywood and

0:39:140:39:17

politics and to the European

Parliament is that there are men in

0:39:170:39:20

power who wield that power over

women.

Absolutely and members of the

0:39:200:39:28

European Parliament are a powerful

role. And wherever you get that

0:39:280:39:32

domination of power and people who

work for them, you will sometimes,

0:39:320:39:39

sadly, get people abusing that

power.

So you are working on a

0:39:390:39:45

committee that is trying to

implement regulations. As you know,

0:39:450:39:48

one of the reasons women don't come

out as they are either afraid of

0:39:480:39:52

hampering their careers or they are

afraid they will be accused of

0:39:520:39:56

lying. I'm not quite sure what you

can do to stop that being the case.

0:39:560:40:01

Well, it is by creating an

atmosphere of zero tolerance and

0:40:010:40:09

supportive work amongst the

workforce, so that they realise that

0:40:090:40:13

their jobs will not go if they speak

out. It is very difficult, because,

0:40:130:40:18

as I said, MEPs are quite powerful

and especially a few have come from

0:40:180:40:24

the country where the MEP has been

elected, so it does take an enormous

0:40:240:40:29

amount of bravery. Already, by

experiencing harassment, whatever

0:40:290:40:34

sort of harassment but in particular

sexual harassment, it can demean

0:40:340:40:40

people and undermined confidence, so

we need to make sure that the whole

0:40:400:40:43

parliament, the whole staff,

understand this and are supportive

0:40:430:40:49

and if somebody discloses even to a

colleague that they know the roots

0:40:490:40:52

to go to and the processes where

they will be supported and assisted

0:40:520:40:58

and we can take of the case and here

that in our committee, in a

0:40:580:41:02

harassment committee.

Have you ever

directly heard of a younger woman

0:41:020:41:08

being sexually harassed? Have you

been sexually harassed yourself in

0:41:080:41:11

the parliament?

I was a teenager in

the 1960s and life was very

0:41:110:41:17

difficult then. Certainly not in the

parliament here, no. I grew up in a

0:41:170:41:25

different environment and I am

really pleased now that we are

0:41:250:41:27

taking this on as an issue. And I

think having more women in politics

0:41:270:41:33

and more women working in senior

management level helps that, because

0:41:330:41:37

they have come through and they

realise it is absolutely not

0:41:370:41:41

acceptable for people in power to

abuse that power and take advantage,

0:41:410:41:46

especially of young women and the

interns who are more vulnerable and

0:41:460:41:50

are not protected. The committee has

been set up for two and a half

0:41:500:41:56

years, we have started our work, we

have produced a booklet and have

0:41:560:41:59

another one coming out for the

assistants and we are looking at the

0:41:590:42:02

processes of how we can support

people who come forward. Hearing it

0:42:020:42:09

is traumatic for the witnesses and

traumatic for everybody involved, it

0:42:090:42:14

is all done in confidence but that

first bit of disclosing is so

0:42:140:42:18

important, we need to make sure that

people feel confident enough to

0:42:180:42:22

actually voice their opinions.

OK,

thank you very much for joining us.

0:42:220:42:29

The work on disclosure, Kristian,

and secrecy around this and women

0:42:290:42:33

feeling confident about speaking

out, is so critical to trying to

0:42:330:42:37

address the issue.

But it is not unique to the European

0:42:370:42:40

Parliament. I was thinking back to

when I was the correspondent in

0:42:400:42:43

Paris to an incident in 2012 in the

French parliament, the Housing

0:42:430:42:48

Minister, she went onto the floor in

a flowery it was the middle of

0:42:480:42:53

summer, and you could hardly hear

her speak because there were these

0:42:530:42:58

wolf whistles and noises from the

parliamentarians in the house and

0:42:580:43:01

this story we are showing you at the

moment is on the BBC News website,

0:43:010:43:05

have a look if you have time. It

basically talks about French MPs who

0:43:050:43:11

had been blacklisted by women staff,

so they have a book, these aids

0:43:110:43:15

within the French parliament, about

MPs who misbehave who they shouldn't

0:43:150:43:19

get stuck in a lift with and they

swap notes over copy and at lunch

0:43:190:43:22

about the ones who are a real

danger. That is the sort of

0:43:220:43:28

environment that has been in the

French parliament, certainly when I

0:43:280:43:31

was there and everybody talked about

it and it is only at the Harvey

0:43:310:43:34

Weinstein that people are starting

to talk about this thing. I read

0:43:340:43:37

today that someone like 140 people

with different cases had come

0:43:370:43:43

forward in the European Union since

Weinstein.

0:43:430:43:49

And what you are talking about

happened just a few years ago and

0:43:490:43:53

they still carrying on. Let's move

on.

0:43:530:43:55

In Kenya, the opposition leader has

called on all Kenyans

0:43:550:43:58

to boycott Thursday's

presidential election re-run.

0:43:580:43:59

Raila Odinga called on people

to either stay at home,

0:43:590:44:01

or go somewhere to pray.

0:44:020:44:03

The vote is going ahead

after the Supreme Court failed

0:44:030:44:05

to hear a last-minute petition

to postpone it.

0:44:050:44:07

Our correspondent Anne Soy's report

begins in western Kenya.

0:44:070:44:10

Kisumu is the opposition's

heartland, where a stand-off now

0:44:120:44:16

persists between their supporters

and state security.

0:44:160:44:21

The city is resolute no one

will be going to the polls

0:44:210:44:24

on Thursday here or across large

swathes of opposition leaning

0:44:240:44:27

areas around the country.

0:44:270:44:31

In the capital Nairobi,

a call to boycott the election.

0:44:310:44:34

The opposition says

it cannot be credible.

0:44:340:44:38

When an injustice becomes law,

resistance becomes a duty.

0:44:380:44:44

And if there is no justice

for the people, then there will be

0:44:440:44:48

no peace for the Government.

0:44:480:44:53

The opposition says that any

election that will be held

0:44:530:44:55

tomorrow will be a sham,

it will not reflect the will

0:44:550:44:59

of the people and there will be

demand for a new one in 90 days.

0:44:590:45:03

The country looked to the Supreme

Court to unlock the stalemate,

0:45:030:45:05

but there were no answers

from this bench.

0:45:050:45:07

Five out of seven judges

were unavailable to hear the case

0:45:070:45:11

seeking to stop the rerun.

0:45:110:45:16

Regrettably and with due

apologies to all the parties,

0:45:160:45:20

this matter cannot proceed

to hearing this morning.

0:45:200:45:27

The ruling party wants

the vote to go on, if only

0:45:270:45:30

to preserve their legitimacy

should they win.

0:45:300:45:32

The Electoral Commission

is soldiering on.

0:45:320:45:33

Its chairman admits he cannot

guarantee a free and fair election.

0:45:330:45:37

With nearly half the country staying

away, the outcome of Thursday's vote

0:45:370:45:42

will be far from representative.

0:45:420:45:44

Serious questions of credibility

will no doubt be raised here and

0:45:440:45:47

within the international community.

0:45:470:45:53

Let's have a look at some of the

other news today.

0:45:580:46:05

The UK Labour Party has suspended

Jared O'Mara. The Sheffield Hallam

0:46:050:46:13

MP has apologise for misogynistic

and homophobic comments he posted 15

0:46:130:46:17

years ago. He's also of verbally

abusing a woman earlier this year.

0:46:170:46:23

The BBC has accused Iran of

launching an offensive against staff

0:46:230:46:34

at BBC Persian service. There was an

investigation into 152 stats, former

0:46:340:46:39

staff members and contributors. Iran

claims a conspiracy against

0:46:390:46:43

national-security and has also

frozen the assets of BBC personnel.

0:46:430:46:48

This is Beyond 100 Days and still to

come...

0:46:480:46:54

saying

goodbye to Britain.

0:46:540:46:55

We speak to the Poles

packing their bag

0:46:550:46:57

and returning home -

does Brexit have anything

0:46:570:46:59

to do with it?

0:46:590:47:00

We'll be finding out.

0:47:000:47:01

The UK's economy had higher

than expected growth in the three

0:47:010:47:04

months to September -

increasing the chances of a rise

0:47:040:47:06

in interest rates next month.

0:47:060:47:07

The Office for National Statistics

suggests the level of GDP,

0:47:070:47:10

or the total amount of goods

and services produced in the UK,

0:47:100:47:13

rose by 0.4%, with strong

performances being seen

0:47:130:47:17

in the services and

manufacturing industries.

0:47:170:47:22

Our Economics Editor

Kamal Ahmed reports.

0:47:220:47:25

Not exactly firing on all cylinders

but today better news

0:47:250:47:28

on the economy that will have

cheered the Chancellor.

0:47:280:47:31

He visited the Francis Crick

Research Centre in London,

0:47:310:47:33

just the kind of high-skilled

0:47:330:47:35

innovation he would like to

encourage.

0:47:350:47:42

A little bit of autumnal sunshine

fell on the economy today

0:47:420:47:45

and the Chancellor is certainly

in a better mood but at the Treasury

0:47:450:47:48

they don't quite believe it's time

to hang out the bunting.

0:47:480:47:51

That Brexit risk is still

there and productivity

0:47:510:47:52

a continuing problem.

0:47:520:47:54

That's our ability to create wealth

which leads to wage rises.

0:47:540:48:02

For people like Sadie and Cindy,

who live near Leeds, the household

0:48:020:48:05

economy is still stretched.

0:48:050:48:06

Working for the public

sector, we haven't had

0:48:060:48:08

a real pay rise for years.

0:48:080:48:09

I mean, it's been capped, hasn't it?

0:48:090:48:11

So, no.

0:48:110:48:14

That to me, yes, if I could say

I was going to get a decent pay

0:48:140:48:18

rise, maybe something

above inflation,

0:48:180:48:20

then that would help.

0:48:200:48:26

These are the kind of people that

Labour wants to speak to,

0:48:260:48:29

arguing that the present Government

is not delivering.

0:48:290:48:31

OECD, IMF, the OBR, all those

independent forecasters have said

0:48:310:48:33

growth is pulling back.

0:48:330:48:35

Wages stagnating, but also,

more importantly, productivity

0:48:350:48:38

stagnating, so we're falling

behind our competitors.

0:48:380:48:42

In this Budget that's coming up,

he's got to change direction.

0:48:420:48:52

All attention now on the Bank of

England which will decide next week

0:48:520:48:55

whether to raise interest rates.

0:48:550:48:56

With growth stronger and inflation

higher, many now believe

0:48:560:48:58

they will for the first

time in ten years.

0:48:580:49:03

You're watching Beyond 100 Days.

0:49:070:49:09

Many EU migrants living in the UK

say they're afraid Brexit

0:49:090:49:13

will affect their right to remain

there - indeed addressing those

0:49:130:49:16

fears as soon as possible is one

of the few things the EU

0:49:160:49:20

and the British Government agree on.

0:49:200:49:21

They both say it should be at the

heart of the divorce negotiations.

0:49:210:49:28

There are some signs it's

being addressed already.

0:49:280:49:30

In the 12 months to March,

0:49:310:49:32

46,000 migrants from countries

0:49:320:49:33

like Poland left Britain.

0:49:330:49:34

That's 59 per cent more

than in previous years.

0:49:340:49:36

But is Brexit the sole

cause of the flight?

0:49:360:49:38

Our Europe Correspondent

Kevin Connolly reports

0:49:380:49:40

from central Poland.

0:49:400:49:46

In cities like Lodz,

there are signs that the tide

0:49:460:49:49

is beginning to turn.

0:49:490:49:50

Thousands of migrants worried

by Brexit and tempted by improving

0:49:500:49:52

wages in Poland are coming home

from the UK.

0:49:520:49:59

This research scientist says that

in part, it is a brain drain

0:49:590:50:02

that the UK might come to regret.

0:50:020:50:08

After Brexit she started worrying

about pensions and passports.

0:50:080:50:10

She heard the call of home.

0:50:100:50:12

If a lot of people leave,

you will need to think

0:50:120:50:15

about what will happen to that gap.

0:50:150:50:17

If you have enough British people

to fill it, that is amazing

0:50:170:50:21

and you will be able

to survive without us.

0:50:210:50:26

If not, then you might need

us more than we need

0:50:260:50:30

you because we can go

somewhere else, right?

0:50:300:50:33

Poland's National Government says

Brexit is a factor here but argues

0:50:330:50:37

this is really a story about a boom

economy with higher wages and lower

0:50:370:50:40

unemployment, offering

prosperity to its own people.

0:50:400:50:47

First of all, it is about the lowest

unemployment level in Poland now.

0:50:470:50:52

That is about an economy

that is booming.

0:50:520:50:54

People are getting more money.

0:50:540:50:56

We have great social

support for the young.

0:50:560:50:59

We started with the children and now

we are starting with apartments.

0:50:590:51:04

It is better and better

and better step-by-step.

0:51:040:51:08

Much of the money transforming

buildings like this old linen mill

0:51:080:51:11

into swanky shops and cinemas comes

from the European Union.

0:51:110:51:21

Piotr says his decision

was not about money,

0:51:220:51:24

he found post Brexit Britain too

0:51:240:51:25

worrying to live in.

0:51:250:51:26

I am waiting for the decision how

Brexit will look like.

0:51:260:51:30

What is going to be

happening with my pension?

0:51:300:51:33

What is going to happen

with a lot of things?

0:51:330:51:37

The economic booms don't

last forever, of course.

0:51:370:51:40

But being tied the European Union,

rather than the Soviet Union has

0:51:400:51:43

transformed these once grim streets.

0:51:430:51:48

Brexit means uncertainty for many EU

citizens living in the UK.

0:51:480:51:53

For some Poles, the prospect

of prosperity beginning to appear

0:51:530:51:57

through the Autumn gloom is enough

to tip the balance on one

0:51:570:52:01

of life's biggest questions,

what country to call home?

0:52:010:52:05

That is what European governments

always said, as the standards of

0:52:150:52:18

living started to equalise across

Europe, people would naturally go

0:52:180:52:21

home. Whenever I was travelling as a

foreign correspondent, I always had

0:52:210:52:25

my heart set on going home, I was

never going to stay forever in that

0:52:250:52:29

country and I guess a lot of people

feel the same way.

0:52:290:52:32

And you have had the same thing here

because as the Mexican economy

0:52:320:52:35

picked up, for example, that is the

reason there has been net migration

0:52:350:52:40

back south across to Mexico and not

into the United States. There are

0:52:400:52:48

more jobs there, people want to go

home to their families. If the jobs

0:52:480:52:51

aren't here, they are not going to

come, they will follow the money.

0:52:510:52:53

You don't often hear me talking

about baseball, but I will do now

0:52:530:52:56

but it is mostly about blues, I

think. --

0:52:560:53:01

-- booze.

0:53:010:53:03

Last night, the World Series kicked

off in California pitting

0:53:030:53:05

the Los Angeles Dodgers

against the Houston Astros.

0:53:050:53:07

The Dodgers came away

with the first win in the

0:53:070:53:09

best-of-seven series but it is a bet

between the two state governors

0:53:090:53:12

which grabbed our attention.

0:53:120:53:13

Should California win it all,

they will be the recipient

0:53:130:53:16

of of a six-pack of Houston-brewed

beer and Texas barbeque.

0:53:160:53:21

the Government Jerry Brown of

California will get the beer and the

0:53:210:53:26

Texas governor will get the wine.

0:53:260:53:28

If they lose, they better be ready

to part with a selection

0:53:280:53:30

of wine from their famous vineyards.

0:53:300:53:32

The wager has added significance

after Houston suffered from record

0:53:320:53:34

flooding after Hurricane Harvey

and California is recovering

0:53:340:53:36

from deadly wildfires.

0:53:360:53:41

When I read this story, I thought,

hang on, the Texas governor is

0:53:410:53:46

handing over a six-pack of barbecue

beer, what I read over in one of the

0:53:460:53:51

papers today and if he wins, the

Texas governor gets wine from Napa,

0:53:510:53:56

Sonoma and Mendocino. That is not a

fair deal.

0:53:560:54:00

I am rooting for the wine ones. When

we get sports stories, I'm so glad

0:54:000:54:08

you're here.

3-1, they won last night. I have

0:54:080:54:11

been looking at some fact, the

Dodgers last won the World Series in

0:54:110:54:15

1988 and the Astros have never won

it since they were formed in 1962.

0:54:150:54:21

The Astros are tired, right? They

have been travelling a lot, so the

0:54:210:54:25

Dodgers have a good chance.

Anyway, they will be swimming in

0:54:250:54:28

beer. I surprised you there with a

little bit of knowledge.

0:54:280:54:31

Coming up next on BBC World News -

Ros Atkins is here with

0:54:310:54:34

Outside Source and viewers in the UK

will get the latest

0:54:340:54:37

headlines from Ben Brown.

0:54:370:54:39

I am going to spare you that

rendition of Blueberry Hill that I

0:54:390:54:43

learned as a child but I am going to

play you out with that and another

0:54:430:54:47

of Fats Domino's biggest hits. The

American singer sadly has died at

0:54:470:54:52

the age of 89.

From ours, goodbye.
