You are watching Beyond 100 Days. Is
Donald Trump and a loved fest or a | 0:00:11 | 0:00:19 | |
hate spat? They have denounced the
president, he's boasts a standing | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
ovations. The latest to speak out
says he can no longer be complicit | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
in the President's bad behaviour. I
have children and grandchildren to | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
answer to and so, Mr President, I
will not be complicit or silent. The | 0:00:35 | 0:00:43 | |
Washington Post says Hillary
Clinton's campaign funded the | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
dossier about Donald Trump's ties to
Russia. And a European Parliament | 0:00:46 | 0:00:52 | |
debate on sexual violence against
women ends up highlighting | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
harassment in the institution
itself. Also on the programme, he | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
was named for his rhythm and blues
sound. One of the biggest stars of | 0:00:59 | 0:01:07 | |
the early rock and roll era has died
at his home in Louisiana. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:13 | |
Marshalling the moves in New York,
the ground controller with the | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
little bit of extra. Do get in touch
with us. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:30 | |
Welcome. Christian Fraser is in
London. Donald Trump says he is any | 0:01:32 | 0:01:38 | |
lovefest with Republicans, which may
seem odd after the last 24 hours. To | 0:01:38 | 0:01:45 | |
Republican senators have rounded on
the Government. One is stepping down | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
because he feels he has a duty to
stand up against Mr Trump. It came | 0:01:48 | 0:01:54 | |
after his colleague said the
president is dBase thing America. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Today the senator said other
Republicans will speak out. Here is | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
part of what he said on the Senate
floor. Reckless, outrageous and | 0:02:02 | 0:02:08 | |
undignified behaviour. This has
become excused as telling it like it | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
is. It is actually just reckless,
outrageous and undignified. When | 0:02:12 | 0:02:20 | |
such behaviour emanates from the top
of Government, it is something else. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:27 | |
It is dangerous to the democracy.
So, to senators have now criticised | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
the president. Just as noticeably,
the other 50 have not. The president | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
insists his party is united. In the
past hour he gave us this | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
description of the lunch yesterday
with the senators. I called it a | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
lovefest. Maybe it was a lovefest.
We have standing ovation is. There | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
is great unity. If you'll get the
Democrats with Bernie Sanders and | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
Hillary Clinton, that is a mess.
There is great unity in the | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
Republican Party. As he was saying
if you minutes ago but if you look | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
at the polls, his supporters still
do seem to love him. A Paul found | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
78% approve of the job he is doing.
His overall rating is 42%. It has | 0:03:11 | 0:03:18 | |
barely shifted through the summer.
Numbers far better than Republicans | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
in Congress. We have been speaking
with the Republican congressmen for | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Illinois, who fought in Afghanistan
and Iraq with the US Air Force. You | 0:03:27 | 0:03:34 | |
have been critical of Donald Trump
on occasion. I was just wondering | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
what you made of the comments in the
Senate yesterday. He is a principled | 0:03:37 | 0:03:45 | |
person and I think he meant what he
said. I think it is not helpful for | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
our party to have this big food
fight in front of everybody. That | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
happens on all sides. The president
with Twitter and some of the | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
comments from the Senate. We have a
lot of things he went to achieve | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
internationally and as a Republican
to wake up every day and see this | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
spread all over the national and
world media is disheartening | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
sometimes. Look, everybody is
entitled to their own opinion. I | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
will be supportive of the president
anyway I can and when I must I will | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
be critical. That is my job. Let's
talk International. You served in | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
the air force in Iraq and
Afghanistan. If you were in service | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
now, would you be concerned that
there is disagreement in the party | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
was hampering in any way the ability
of America to do its job around the | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
world? Maybe a little concerned. You
know, any time you have fights | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
within a party or anything to do
with foreign policy issues, they can | 0:04:41 | 0:04:48 | |
be a hamstring. What do you mean by
that? Because decisions... If the | 0:04:48 | 0:04:55 | |
president makes a decision overseas,
used to be that nothing was | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
partisan. Now it can turn into a big
internal debate here at home. Let me | 0:04:57 | 0:05:05 | |
say this, the American military, and
I served the British military in | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
Iraq, the art of people and they
have one mission and it is not | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
something people like to hear, it is
to take out the bad guys. If the | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
military and the civilian leadership
of America and the UK ask them to do | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
it and they are good at it. A lot of
the times these debates can be | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
disheartening but the military goes
way beyond that. It is bigger than | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
that disputes. We like to discuss
between ourselves that we are really | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
good at what we do when we are
overseas. When you are in the | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
military, what is important is the
temperament of your leaders. What | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
the senator was talking about
yesterday as he doesn't think this | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
president has the temperament. Do
you? That is a tough question to | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
answer. I am not going to get in the
middle. I do not like some of the | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
things he puts on Twitter. Every
morning you wake up and you cringed | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
as you log into Twitter to see what
he put. That is not exciting. I do | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
think some of the tweets on
international issues can actually be | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
beneficial. Look at North Korea. You
have reports that they have reached | 0:06:11 | 0:06:18 | |
out to Republican consultants to
say, what is Donald Trump made of? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
That can be some benefits but the
American presidency has always been | 0:06:22 | 0:06:28 | |
eager than moments and bigger than
partisan debates, even though the | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
debate tv-mac engaged in partisan
debates. That is something I worry | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
about. It is important what world
leaders are thinking. When they look | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
at today when he says, yesterday I
got standing ovations. There was a | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
lovefest. That is the sort of
language we are used to hearing from | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
different leaders, not the President
of the United States. Yes, look, as | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
I said, it is like white? Please do
not. At the same time, interesting | 0:06:57 | 0:07:08 | |
leaders, colourful leaders in the
past, and you see that and you say, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
the relationships of countries go
beyond what leaders say. They can be | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
damaging but we always have a
relationship that goes beyond it. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
The president... Like I said, there
are lots of things that I agree | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
with. The tone I don't. Frankly, we
are lucky because he has a lot of | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
great people around him and he does
tend to allow them I think to help | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
him make decisions when it comes to
things like what to do in Syria, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
Iran, etc. Thank you very much for
joining us. Goodbye. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:50 | |
What do Trump's supporters
make of all this. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Joining us now is Matt Schlapp
who chairs the American | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Conservative Union. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
Thank you for coming in. You heard a
congressman they are seeing each | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
wishes he would tone it down and
stop treating. Do you reporters | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
tv-mac supporters feel the same? I
think it is unorthodox. It really | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
worries the people who are the
establishment in DC. This is not the | 0:08:09 | 0:08:16 | |
way they have seen a president
operate before. He goes around in | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
America. Most of the media favours
the Democrats and he tries to go | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
around them. It is a real strategy
to top two Americans and get around | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
the media. Some of his tweets hit
the target and some do not. Let's | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
talk about the senator from Arizona.
He has now said it is not the | 0:08:34 | 0:08:40 | |
Republican party for him. He is a
conservative Republican. Pretty | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
conservative. 95% approval rating on
conservative rating. He is not a | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
liberal. We can get into a ratings
that. The high 90s to the high 70s. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:57 | |
He is not a liberal Republican. Not
at all. If there is not room for | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
him, what future do they have? He
says there is not room, that is why | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
he is leaving. I sell the speech and
I thought it was compelling. He is | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
leaving because he would lose any
primary. That is not what he says. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
He is at 18%. He told me this
personally. Bob Corker, why is he | 0:09:17 | 0:09:24 | |
being so nasty? Because he could not
win in a primary in Tennessee. She | 0:09:24 | 0:09:29 | |
would not have got through a
primary. There is nothing about what | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
Jeff has just said that you would
agree with in terms of the criticism | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
of the nature of this presidency?
That, I think there is no... There | 0:09:36 | 0:09:44 | |
are Republicans that are
uncomfortable with some of the | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
aspects of the readership. I would
acknowledge that but I would also | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
say that most conservatives in this
country, they want a Republican | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
president who will fight hard and
that is the part of Donald Trump | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
they like, his conservative agenda
and he fights back. Conservatives | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
tend to not fight back. When the
media pitches back, the crowd go | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
under a rock. This guy does not do
that. For your grassroots members, | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
they want things doing and these two
senators, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake | 0:10:11 | 0:10:18 | |
are going to be around until January
20 19. They could vote against the | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
agenda. Not only them but others,
these are guys who do not see I'd | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
either the president. What happens
if the dig their heels in? People | 0:10:27 | 0:10:34 | |
like Ben, he is 100% rating. He is
going to do the Conservative thing | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
each and every time. He does have a
personal disagreement with the | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
president and he takes them on. I
think Jeff Flake I know and I | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
respect, I do not think he will let
his personal animosity get in the | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
way for voting for the tax bill. I
think he will do right by the | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
country. Stay with us because we're
going to talk about Hillary Clinton | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
and we would like to get your
thoughts on it. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Hillary Clinton's campaign helped
pay for what's become known | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
as the Steele dossier -
research by a former British spy | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
that claimed Russia was trying
to get Donald Trump elected and that | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Moscow had compromising
evidence against Trump. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
The dossier was put together by | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
Christopher Steele, who was recently
interviewed by special | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
counsel Bob Mueller's team. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
But who exactly commissioned it has
always been a bit of a mystery. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
Now the Washington Post
is reporting that it was | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Hillary Clinton's campaign,
along with the Democratic | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
National Committee. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:31 | |
A brief time ago President Trump
addressed the issue. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:37 | |
I understand they paid a tremendous
amount of money and Hillary Clinton | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
was denied it. The Democrats always
denied it and now only because it is | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
going to come out in a court case
they said yes, they did it and the | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
admitted it and they are embarrassed
by it. I think it is a disgrace. It | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
is a very sad commentary on politics
in this country. We're joined now by | 0:11:55 | 0:12:03 | |
one of the authors of the report. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
Thank you very much for joining us.
How damaging is this to Hillary | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
Clinton and her campaign? I think it
is a lot of political fuel. One of | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
the big arguments the Republicans
have been making is this whole | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
Russian investigation is basically a
witchhunt based on a false premise. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
Obviously the more you can show that
this began with political opposition | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
research, democratic money, the more
they think they can beat back the | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
political issues about this
investigation. Look, at this point, | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
the investigation is up and running
with the special counsel. Ben Miller | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
and his people have known for a time
what the origins of this document | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
were. From their point of view,
doesn't really affect them that | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
much. They need to figure out what
facts they can confirm. To some | 0:12:53 | 0:12:58 | |
extent... Sorry to interrupt. One of
the interesting things in the report | 0:12:58 | 0:13:03 | |
is that you are saying that after
the election the FBI agreed to | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
continue gathering evidence on Trump
and Russia but pulled out when his | 0:13:07 | 0:13:13 | |
name became public. Right, we have
reported that before. The issue | 0:13:13 | 0:13:18 | |
became the FBI. If you think back to
November of last year, the FBI was | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
still interested in trying to figure
this out and understand it better. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
They were willing to pay him to keep
working. What happens in after that | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
is the whole issue started to blow
up in a sense because people... More | 0:13:31 | 0:13:37 | |
bits and pieces from within the
dossier are coming out and it is | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
hard to be very good spy when you
are in all the papers. Just to jump | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
two steps ahead because this is
obviously political, the Republican | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
party are saying this is all phoney
and this has been trumped up by the | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
dossier. The dossier did not lead to
the council's investigation, did it? | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
It is part of it. It is part of it.
It partly led the investigation. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
There is no question that some of
what the dossier talked about became | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
issues of investigation for the FBI.
Look, we are in a practical and | 0:14:09 | 0:14:15 | |
legal sense, we are well past that
now. Whatever the origins of this | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
thing are, it has now come to look
at obstruction of justice and | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
finances and all sorts of things
that are beyond simply what was in | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
that document. Thank you very much
for joining us. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
I'm keen to get Matt Schlapp's
perspective on this - | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
he chairs the American Conservative
Union. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
It doesn't undermine the nature of
the investigation, does it, the fact | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
that Hillary Clinton funded this
dossier? No, but you have to | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
remember at the beginning and end if
you have a president in a question | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
of whether he would have charges
brought against him, impeachment and | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
the House of Representatives, it is
wrapped up in politics. The American | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
people, they are fair. A lot of this
looks like politics to start with, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
it helps Donald Trump. -- if it
looks like this. How this dossier | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
came about helps make the case that
it is a lot of people making | 0:15:10 | 0:15:18 | |
political charges. Is that not the
problem for the Republicans, they | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
lied about it. The campaign lied
that they had funded this and now it | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
came out that they did. Christian,
he is the truth, if Hillary Clinton | 0:15:23 | 0:15:30 | |
did not have such bad poll numbers
on her character and honesty, I | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
think she could be the president.
She really has stopped tool on this | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
basic question of character over and
over again. I am going to disagree | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
with you. I do not think people will
be surprised that Hillary Clinton | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
did not straight shoot with where
this came from. Thank you very much | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
for joining us. Great get your
thoughts. It is so interesting to | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
get Matt's opinion there and all of
the noise we have been hearing out | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
of the Senate. We keep going back to
the poll numbers and have not moved | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
much. Donald Trump's base is still
very strong and that Paul gave us | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
numbers that show that people did
not like his leadership, his views | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
on race, some of his attitudes. That
has also been true for a long time | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
that the still elected him and are
sticking with him. What about this | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
and we're goes in the Senate? We
were asking that they are about the | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
various senators who have expressed
concerns about Donald Trump, to | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
others, out? Jeff Flake says they
will. I will be interested if Jeff | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
Flake would be providing any names
of the senators who might possibly | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
come out. You and Matt were talking
about some of them earlier, Susan | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
Collins... We might get some but I
would be surprised. I would be | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
surprised if we got a floodgate. It
is worth reminding our years, John | 0:16:48 | 0:16:55 | |
McCain has brain cancer and Jeff
Flake was up for a real election. We | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
felt some kind of liberation to talk
perhaps. This is not the beginning | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
and of the Republican party
abandoning President Trump. You know | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
when we are in a sorry state when
the shrimp fishing industry has been | 0:17:08 | 0:17:15 | |
divided by politics. Yes, you heard
that right. A lot of this people in | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
the industry voted for Donald Trump
hoping he would bring back jobs. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
What will his policies on the
environment mean for the fragile | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
ecosystems in which the fish? We
have been to Mount Pleasant, South | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
Carolina, to hear from both sides. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:37 | |
A lot of people got out of the
industry because there is no money | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
to put back into boats or make a
living, really. There are very few | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
of us left. One of my grandfathers
was a fisherman and my dad was one | 0:17:44 | 0:17:55 | |
of the first shrimpers. Started
going out when I was four years old. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:03 | |
You can see the shrimp boats over
here. It used to be 3-D and four on | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
the side. Now we have sailboats,
yachts and sports boats. That is | 0:18:08 | 0:18:15 | |
something you do not want your son
or daughter to get into an out the | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
get used to be. Imports from China,
Vietnam and the other places have | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
affected the market. It drove the
price down and flooded the market. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
You have all these warehouses full
of frozen shrimps. I think Donald | 0:18:29 | 0:18:44 | |
Trump is a businessman and I am a
businessman and he looks out the | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
businessman. We are in the right
direction. Stay local, by local. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
Keep America first. Let's unify the
country. Let's stay with the | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
programme. I am not optimistic that
Trump can make the economy better. I | 0:18:57 | 0:19:05 | |
know there are many people in South
Carolina who disagree with us. The | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
shrimp have been less abundant this
year than they have in years past. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
When he degrades the environment, it
will affect the shrimping | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
communities and fishing communities.
Demolishing the protections that we, | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
as the country, have spent so long
trying to fulfil. We have seen just | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
through development is degradation
of the marshes, which are the | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
estuaries for shrimp. That is not
going to get better by listening | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
protections. We do not think the
Trump administration is | 0:19:39 | 0:19:47 | |
representative of us or our
interests. Great pictures. When you | 0:19:47 | 0:19:57 | |
have the fishing industry divided
like that and you realise bringing | 0:19:57 | 0:20:03 | |
back jobs... We have is looking to
industries but it is more than that, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:09 | |
it is all of the industry is
balanced against those who are | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
concerned with his environmental
record. And traditional industries | 0:20:12 | 0:20:18 | |
where jobs are disappearing. It is
difficult to bring jobs back to | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
those industries. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:31 | |
Let's talk about Brexit now. Crowds
of people have lined the streets of | 0:20:31 | 0:20:42 | |
Bangkok to pay their final respect
to the late king. His son, the new | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
king, oversaw a prayer ceremony. The
first of events that will see the | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
year long period of mourning come to
an end. Rex Tillerson is in Delhi | 0:20:51 | 0:20:58 | |
where he says the US will stand
shoulder to shoulder with India to | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
fight terrorism. He met the Prime
Minister and expressed concern | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
terror groups are doubled he was one
of the biggest stars of the early | 0:21:06 | 0:21:18 | |
rock and roll era. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Fats Domino, who has died
in Louisiana at the age of 89. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Among the hits, plenty
you will know, Aint that a Shame, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
'Blueberry Hill' 'Walking
to New Orleans' there | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
were plenty of others. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
He sold 65 million
singles in those years, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
with 23 gold records,
making him the second biggest artist | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
at that time after Elvis Presley. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
Our correspondent, Nick Higham has
been taking a look back at his life. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
# One day, you cried... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:48 | |
Antoine Fats Domino started playing
piano in the bars of New Orleans, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
rolling rhythm and blues
with its rich jazz and Latin roots. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:59 | |
# But I love to see with a smile... | 0:22:00 | 0:22:09 | |
# When you said goodbye... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
# Ain't that shame... | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
But soon he developed
a much more popular style, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
one of the first black artists
to top the white dominated charts. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:21 | |
The genial Fats delighted crossover
audiences and, in the process, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
found he'd helped to
invent rock'n'roll. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
# I've found my thrill | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
# On Blueberry Hill... | 0:22:33 | 0:22:43 | |
Blueberry Hill was one of 30
top 40 hits, though one | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
he didn't write. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
He made millions and gambled
much of it away but went | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
on playing into old age. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
When Hurricane Katrina
hit his hometown in 2005, | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
he chose to stay at home
and was rumoured dead. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Later, there was a visit
from George W Bush to present | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
Fats Domino a gold medal lost
in the floods and looting. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
As for his music, it remained
as appealing and infectious as ever. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:18 | |
Fats Domino, one of
the kings of rock'n'roll, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
has died at the age of 89. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
A little known fact, I was born in a
village called Blueberry and we used | 0:23:27 | 0:23:33 | |
to think Blueberry Hill was about
our village. I do not think it was. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
We used to sing at all the time.
Liberally Hill is the first song I | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
learned to play on the piano. My dad
was a big fan. -- Blueberry Hill was | 0:23:42 | 0:23:48 | |
the first song. He said the rock and
roll stars were better than the | 0:23:48 | 0:23:54 | |
English crooners. Nice. You travel a
lot, don't you? Isn't the dullest | 0:23:54 | 0:24:04 | |
part the bit where you taxi on the
runway? What if you sort this guy | 0:24:04 | 0:24:10 | |
out of the window? Look at this. I
love this. I really love this | 0:24:10 | 0:24:16 | |
because after have a Shandy I don't
like this. What I like about this. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
Just listen... The captain is
carrying on talking. Like nothing | 0:24:21 | 0:24:30 | |
out of the ordinary is going on.
Anyway, I got thinking to do. I had | 0:24:30 | 0:24:36 | |
a long afternoon. Beer with me. He
should be listening to the higher | 0:24:36 | 0:24:41 | |
it, he has got a song in his head.
What song is you listening to's this | 0:24:41 | 0:24:48 | |
is the one... You had we too much
time on your hands. See what you | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
think.
# Praying for this moment to last. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:59 | |
# I've been moving so fast. Look at
that sidestepped. He has been moves. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:09 | |
# Night Fever, no fever. How good
would you low be best every day you | 0:25:09 | 0:25:21 | |
went to the job and that was your
attitude? I do not know what it says | 0:25:21 | 0:25:28 | |
about my music list. I am going to
start playing that in the studio. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:34 | |

Plenty to talk about with the
weather yet again. Another mild day | 0:26:10 | 0:26:16 | |
for late October. To date we have
seen more sunshine as well, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
particularly across the south where
it was cloudy yesterday. Sane spells | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
and scattered shower. You can see
the peppering of shower clouds to | 0:26:25 | 0:26:32 | |
the north-west. As we go through the
evening, this cloud across the | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
Channel, that weather front is going
to drift its weight back northwards | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
across England and Wales as you go
through the night. We keep the | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
clearer skies to the north. The
possibility into Scotland and | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
Northern Ireland and England to see
the Aurora. If you are lucky enough, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |

keep the cloud. -- QB keep the
cloud. Eight or 13 Celsius first | 0:27:02 | 0:27:11 | |
thing. We start off on Thursday with
the best of the sunshine in the | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
north. It will be quite windy. That
will drive in more showers. The | 0:27:15 | 0:27:21 | |
weather front continues northwards.
A brand of drizzle through Wales and | 0:27:21 | 0:27:30 | |
across the south coast a few breaks,
if we are lucky. 18 Celsius the | 0:27:30 | 0:27:36 | |
height. Thursday will be the last
day of that warmth. We are going to | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
see a change. The weather front will
weaken off and high pressure | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
building as we go into Friday. A
good deal of dry weather. The chilly | 0:27:44 | 0:27:50 | |
start and a chillier fields to
things. Once we have that out of the | 0:27:50 | 0:27:55 | |
way, Saturday will be a quiet day.
McLeod around and a noticeable | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
change to the story as we move into
Sunday. -- more cloud. A low into | 0:27:59 | 0:28:07 | |
Scandinavia will introduce these
strong and gusty winds from the | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
north. That will make it feel quite
cold in comparison to this week. The | 0:28:11 | 0:28:17 | |
favoured spots for that the far
north and north sea facing coasts. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:24 | |
11 to 14 Celsius the high, further
east is feeling cold. And on the | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
strength of the wind, it is better.
Take care. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:35 | |

So Republican Senator Jeff Flake
thinks President Trump's | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
behaviour is dangerous to democracy. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:13 | |
In this op-ed in the
Washington Post today, | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
Flake recounted a key moment
in US political history. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
He referred to the McCarthy era -
a time of heightened paranoia | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
about Communist
infiltration in the US. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Mr Flake told the story
of Joseph Welch, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
the former Chief Counsel
for the Army, who stood up | 0:31:28 | 0:31:33 | |
to Senator Joseph McCarthy
during a Congressional | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
hearing in 1954. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
McCarthy had just accused Welsh's
of hiring a lawyer in his Boston | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
practice who himself
had ties to Communism. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
And here's the moment
Jo Welch fired back. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:47 | |
You have done enough. Have you no
sense of decency, sir, at long last? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:58 | |
Have you left no empathy? Have you
no sense of decency? We want to get | 0:31:58 | 0:32:05 | |
some historical perspective on this
cut, see how it compares to the | 0:32:05 | 0:32:10 | |
Republican party of the past. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:11 | |
Bob Walker was a Republican
Congressman from 1977 to 1997. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
Representing the great state of
Pennsylvania, thank you for coming | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
in. You saw that clip of Joe Welch
taking on Joe McCarthy and you see | 0:32:18 | 0:32:24 | |
all the debates today about the
degradation of American society that | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
comes from the top, Bob Corker has
said. How different does it seem | 0:32:27 | 0:32:32 | |
today from previous times? It is
different and it has been made | 0:32:32 | 0:32:37 | |
different, I think, by social media
because what we have is the ability | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
of people to divide themselves into
tribes of the present time and that | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
has an impact on the whole of
politics and, sadly, it has a | 0:32:44 | 0:32:49 | |
deleterious effect on political
dialogue. I think that it is a | 0:32:49 | 0:32:59 | |
matter of concern. Speaking about
the Republican party in particular, | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
you're part of are so many years, is
this becoming a party where someone | 0:33:02 | 0:33:06 | |
like Jeff Flake doesn't belong
anymore? Well, I don't know if that | 0:33:06 | 0:33:11 | |
is the case. He is in part reacting
to his constituency. His | 0:33:11 | 0:33:16 | |
constituency in Arizona is changing,
it is not a very cold water | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
constituency anymore, it's a purple
state and I think what he has found | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
is he is out of touch with both the
Conservatives and the progressives | 0:33:23 | 0:33:29 | |
in Arizona, and so it has become
very difficult for him but, again, | 0:33:29 | 0:33:34 | |
this kind of tribalism makes it very
difficult for politicians to walk | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
between the various groups that
impact them. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
Bob, one of the lines in that speech
yesterday went like this, "There is | 0:33:42 | 0:33:47 | |
a sickness in our system and it's
contagious. How much more damage to | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
American liberty do we need to
witness in silence before we count | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
ourselves as complicit in that
damage?" Does it disappoint you that | 0:33:54 | 0:34:01 | |
some Republicans are just sitting
there in silence? Well, I think it's | 0:34:01 | 0:34:06 | |
disappointing that we have that kind
of dialogue going on. I mean, I | 0:34:06 | 0:34:12 | |
don't think there are a lot of
people sitting in silence, I think | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
there are a lot of people who look
at what we have seen over the last | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
few months and cringe at it. On the
other hand, we also see a policy | 0:34:18 | 0:34:23 | |
direction which the country is
responding to. I mean, the fact is | 0:34:23 | 0:34:28 | |
that Congress has passed in the
house about 300 bills. Those haven't | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
come out of the Senate at the
present time but some of those 300 | 0:34:32 | 0:34:37 | |
bills, for instance addressing
regulatory reform, we see that as | 0:34:37 | 0:34:43 | |
something which is improving the
economy, so I think a lot of people | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
are separating out the policy
successes from some of the | 0:34:46 | 0:34:51 | |
cringeworthy moments that we get in
the political dialogue. And if Joe | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
Welch thought that the contagion
back in the 1960s was McCarthyism | 0:34:55 | 0:35:01 | |
and communism and the paranoia that
it sewed into American society, is | 0:35:01 | 0:35:06 | |
there a comparison with the day and
is it the populism and the | 0:35:06 | 0:35:10 | |
nationalism that we see not just in
America but over here in Europe as | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
well? Well, I'm not certain I would
go as far as to say this is a | 0:35:13 | 0:35:21 | |
McCarthyism kind of situation, but
there is no doubt that there is a | 0:35:21 | 0:35:26 | |
retreat towards nationalism in many
countries and I think it's because | 0:35:26 | 0:35:30 | |
people are fearful about all the
change they see around them. I mean, | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
we are going through a massive
amount of technological change, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
economic change, political change,
cultural change and a lot of people | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
are very scared about this and so
they retreat to nationalism and the | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
recent Austrian election certainly
was a -- retreat in that direction | 0:35:47 | 0:35:54 | |
so it is not an American phenomenon.
If you have the President's here and | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
then asking to do one thing, what
would it be? Do not conduct personal | 0:35:58 | 0:36:03 | |
vendettas. As long as you are
talking about the policies that you | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
are pursuing, you have a vast number
of people in the country who are | 0:36:06 | 0:36:12 | |
with you. What they have is a
difficult thing is to cringe every | 0:36:12 | 0:36:18 | |
time you conduct a personal vendetta
on somebody or something. Former | 0:36:18 | 0:36:26 | |
Congressman Bob Walker, thank you
for coming in, come back again. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:32 | |
It's sadly ironic that
as the European Parliament is set | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
to debate sexual violence today -
the institution itself has been | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
the subject of multiple claims
of abuse against women. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
At least four parliamentary aides
say they have complained | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
of assaults - including rape. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
Media reports quote dozens more
women who say they've | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
been sexually harassed
within the parliament itself. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
Allegations include EU work
contracts being offered | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
in exchange for sex,
as well as inappropriate | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
text messages sent to
young female staffers. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
Our correspondent, Adam Fleming,
reports from Brussels. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
This issue shot up the agenda of the
European Parliament following the | 0:37:03 | 0:37:08 | |
global campaign against sexual
harassment. Me too, I have been | 0:37:08 | 0:37:13 | |
sexually harassed, just like
millions of other people, millions | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
of other women in the European
Union, and I think it's about time | 0:37:15 | 0:37:21 | |
that we very clearly say that we
should not be ashamed but that the | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
perpetrators should be ashamed. But
the spotlight push on on | 0:37:24 | 0:37:30 | |
inappropriate behaviour in this
building by MEPs towards their | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
staff. The me too hashtag has
brought in a great range of shocking | 0:37:32 | 0:37:41 | |
stories from a number of sectors but
also sadly from this house. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:48 | |
Masturbation in offices, women being
harassed in the lift, these are | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
things that should not exist in
2017. And what about the power | 0:37:52 | 0:37:58 | |
relationship? If it is your boss
doing it? You have got to pay your | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
mortgage, feed your kids. It follows
allegations made by Parliamentary | 0:38:02 | 0:38:10 | |
assistants like Jan, who wrote a
diary detailing incidents involving | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
her and her colleagues, 47 of them.
I received once an e-mail coming | 0:38:14 | 0:38:21 | |
from a political adviser, this
picture taken of myself without me | 0:38:21 | 0:38:27 | |
knowing, obviously, working in a
conference room and this man was | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
taking pictures of me and sent it to
me on my professional address in the | 0:38:30 | 0:38:36 | |
middle of the night. Allegations are
handled by an internal Parliamentary | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
committee and it is made up of MEPs.
Many here would like to see the | 0:38:39 | 0:38:44 | |
appointment of external experts.
That has been rejected by the | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
parliament's president who says this
solution is more awareness and | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
better training and the authorities
say there have been zero complaints | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
of sexual harassment by MEPs. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
We're joined now from
the European Parliament | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
by Catherine Bearder,
who is a parliamentarian | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
on a committee that's | 0:39:05 | 0:39:06 | |
devising a new policy
to tackle harassment. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
Thank you very much for being with
us. I supposed we shouldn't be | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
surprised because the thing that is
familiar to both Hollywood and | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
politics and to the European
Parliament is that there are men in | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
power who wield that power over
women. Absolutely and members of the | 0:39:20 | 0:39:28 | |
European Parliament are a powerful
role. And wherever you get that | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
domination of power and people who
work for them, you will sometimes, | 0:39:32 | 0:39:39 | |
sadly, get people abusing that
power. So you are working on a | 0:39:39 | 0:39:45 | |
committee that is trying to
implement regulations. As you know, | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
one of the reasons women don't come
out as they are either afraid of | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
hampering their careers or they are
afraid they will be accused of | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
lying. I'm not quite sure what you
can do to stop that being the case. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:01 | |
Well, it is by creating an
atmosphere of zero tolerance and | 0:40:01 | 0:40:09 | |
supportive work amongst the
workforce, so that they realise that | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
their jobs will not go if they speak
out. It is very difficult, because, | 0:40:13 | 0:40:18 | |
as I said, MEPs are quite powerful
and especially a few have come from | 0:40:18 | 0:40:24 | |
the country where the MEP has been
elected, so it does take an enormous | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
amount of bravery. Already, by
experiencing harassment, whatever | 0:40:29 | 0:40:34 | |
sort of harassment but in particular
sexual harassment, it can demean | 0:40:34 | 0:40:40 | |
people and undermined confidence, so
we need to make sure that the whole | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
parliament, the whole staff,
understand this and are supportive | 0:40:43 | 0:40:49 | |
and if somebody discloses even to a
colleague that they know the roots | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
to go to and the processes where
they will be supported and assisted | 0:40:52 | 0:40:58 | |
and we can take of the case and here
that in our committee, in a | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
harassment committee. Have you ever
directly heard of a younger woman | 0:41:02 | 0:41:08 | |
being sexually harassed? Have you
been sexually harassed yourself in | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
the parliament? I was a teenager in
the 1960s and life was very | 0:41:11 | 0:41:17 | |
difficult then. Certainly not in the
parliament here, no. I grew up in a | 0:41:17 | 0:41:25 | |
different environment and I am
really pleased now that we are | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
taking this on as an issue. And I
think having more women in politics | 0:41:27 | 0:41:33 | |
and more women working in senior
management level helps that, because | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
they have come through and they
realise it is absolutely not | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
acceptable for people in power to
abuse that power and take advantage, | 0:41:41 | 0:41:46 | |
especially of young women and the
interns who are more vulnerable and | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
are not protected. The committee has
been set up for two and a half | 0:41:50 | 0:41:56 | |
years, we have started our work, we
have produced a booklet and have | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
another one coming out for the
assistants and we are looking at the | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
processes of how we can support
people who come forward. Hearing it | 0:42:02 | 0:42:09 | |
is traumatic for the witnesses and
traumatic for everybody involved, it | 0:42:09 | 0:42:14 | |
is all done in confidence but that
first bit of disclosing is so | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
important, we need to make sure that
people feel confident enough to | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
actually voice their opinions. OK,
thank you very much for joining us. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:29 | |
The work on disclosure, Kristian,
and secrecy around this and women | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
feeling confident about speaking
out, is so critical to trying to | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
address the issue.
But it is not unique to the European | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Parliament. I was thinking back to
when I was the correspondent in | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
Paris to an incident in 2012 in the
French parliament, the Housing | 0:42:43 | 0:42:48 | |
Minister, she went onto the floor in
a flowery it was the middle of | 0:42:48 | 0:42:53 | |
summer, and you could hardly hear
her speak because there were these | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
wolf whistles and noises from the
parliamentarians in the house and | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
this story we are showing you at the
moment is on the BBC News website, | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
have a look if you have time. It
basically talks about French MPs who | 0:43:05 | 0:43:11 | |
had been blacklisted by women staff,
so they have a book, these aids | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
within the French parliament, about
MPs who misbehave who they shouldn't | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
get stuck in a lift with and they
swap notes over copy and at lunch | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
about the ones who are a real
danger. That is the sort of | 0:43:22 | 0:43:28 | |
environment that has been in the
French parliament, certainly when I | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
was there and everybody talked about
it and it is only at the Harvey | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
Weinstein that people are starting
to talk about this thing. I read | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
today that someone like 140 people
with different cases had come | 0:43:37 | 0:43:43 | |
forward in the European Union since
Weinstein. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:49 | |
And what you are talking about
happened just a few years ago and | 0:43:49 | 0:43:53 | |
they still carrying on. Let's move
on. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
In Kenya, the opposition leader has
called on all Kenyans | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
to boycott Thursday's
presidential election re-run. | 0:43:58 | 0:43:59 | |
Raila Odinga called on people
to either stay at home, | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
or go somewhere to pray. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:03 | |
The vote is going ahead
after the Supreme Court failed | 0:44:03 | 0:44:05 | |
to hear a last-minute petition
to postpone it. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
Our correspondent Anne Soy's report
begins in western Kenya. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
Kisumu is the opposition's
heartland, where a stand-off now | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
persists between their supporters
and state security. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:21 | |
The city is resolute no one
will be going to the polls | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
on Thursday here or across large
swathes of opposition leaning | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
areas around the country. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
In the capital Nairobi,
a call to boycott the election. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
The opposition says
it cannot be credible. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:38 | |
When an injustice becomes law,
resistance becomes a duty. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:44 | |
And if there is no justice
for the people, then there will be | 0:44:44 | 0:44:48 | |
no peace for the Government. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:53 | |
The opposition says that any
election that will be held | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
tomorrow will be a sham,
it will not reflect the will | 0:44:55 | 0:44:59 | |
of the people and there will be
demand for a new one in 90 days. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:03 | |
The country looked to the Supreme
Court to unlock the stalemate, | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
but there were no answers
from this bench. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
Five out of seven judges
were unavailable to hear the case | 0:45:07 | 0:45:11 | |
seeking to stop the rerun. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:16 | |
Regrettably and with due
apologies to all the parties, | 0:45:16 | 0:45:20 | |
this matter cannot proceed
to hearing this morning. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:27 | |
The ruling party wants
the vote to go on, if only | 0:45:27 | 0:45:30 | |
to preserve their legitimacy
should they win. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:32 | |
The Electoral Commission
is soldiering on. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:33 | |
Its chairman admits he cannot
guarantee a free and fair election. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
With nearly half the country staying
away, the outcome of Thursday's vote | 0:45:37 | 0:45:42 | |
will be far from representative. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
Serious questions of credibility
will no doubt be raised here and | 0:45:44 | 0:45:47 | |
within the international community. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:53 | |
Let's have a look at some of the
other news today. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:05 | |
The UK Labour Party has suspended
Jared O'Mara. The Sheffield Hallam | 0:46:05 | 0:46:13 | |
MP has apologise for misogynistic
and homophobic comments he posted 15 | 0:46:13 | 0:46:17 | |
years ago. He's also of verbally
abusing a woman earlier this year. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:23 | |
The BBC has accused Iran of
launching an offensive against staff | 0:46:23 | 0:46:34 | |
at BBC Persian service. There was an
investigation into 152 stats, former | 0:46:34 | 0:46:39 | |
staff members and contributors. Iran
claims a conspiracy against | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
national-security and has also
frozen the assets of BBC personnel. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:48 | |
This is Beyond 100 Days and still to
come... | 0:46:48 | 0:46:54 | |
saying
goodbye to Britain. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:55 | |
We speak to the Poles
packing their bag | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
and returning home -
does Brexit have anything | 0:46:57 | 0:46:59 | |
to do with it? | 0:46:59 | 0:47:00 | |
We'll be finding out. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:01 | |
The UK's economy had higher
than expected growth in the three | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
months to September -
increasing the chances of a rise | 0:47:04 | 0:47:06 | |
in interest rates next month. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:07 | |
The Office for National Statistics
suggests the level of GDP, | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
or the total amount of goods
and services produced in the UK, | 0:47:10 | 0:47:13 | |
rose by 0.4%, with strong
performances being seen | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
in the services and
manufacturing industries. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:22 | |
Our Economics Editor
Kamal Ahmed reports. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:25 | |
Not exactly firing on all cylinders
but today better news | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
on the economy that will have
cheered the Chancellor. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:31 | |
He visited the Francis Crick
Research Centre in London, | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
just the kind of high-skilled | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
innovation he would like to
encourage. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:42 | |
A little bit of autumnal sunshine
fell on the economy today | 0:47:42 | 0:47:45 | |
and the Chancellor is certainly
in a better mood but at the Treasury | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
they don't quite believe it's time
to hang out the bunting. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:51 | |
That Brexit risk is still
there and productivity | 0:47:51 | 0:47:52 | |
a continuing problem. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:54 | |
That's our ability to create wealth
which leads to wage rises. | 0:47:54 | 0:48:02 | |
For people like Sadie and Cindy,
who live near Leeds, the household | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
economy is still stretched. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:06 | |
Working for the public
sector, we haven't had | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
a real pay rise for years. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
I mean, it's been capped, hasn't it? | 0:48:09 | 0:48:11 | |
So, no. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
That to me, yes, if I could say
I was going to get a decent pay | 0:48:14 | 0:48:18 | |
rise, maybe something
above inflation, | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
then that would help. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:26 | |
These are the kind of people that
Labour wants to speak to, | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
arguing that the present Government
is not delivering. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
OECD, IMF, the OBR, all those
independent forecasters have said | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
growth is pulling back. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:35 | |
Wages stagnating, but also,
more importantly, productivity | 0:48:35 | 0:48:38 | |
stagnating, so we're falling
behind our competitors. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:42 | |
In this Budget that's coming up,
he's got to change direction. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:52 | |
All attention now on the Bank of
England which will decide next week | 0:48:52 | 0:48:55 | |
whether to raise interest rates. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:56 | |
With growth stronger and inflation
higher, many now believe | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
they will for the first
time in ten years. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:03 | |
You're watching Beyond 100 Days. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
Many EU migrants living in the UK
say they're afraid Brexit | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
will affect their right to remain
there - indeed addressing those | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
fears as soon as possible is one
of the few things the EU | 0:49:16 | 0:49:20 | |
and the British Government agree on. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:21 | |
They both say it should be at the
heart of the divorce negotiations. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:28 | |
There are some signs it's
being addressed already. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
In the 12 months to March, | 0:49:31 | 0:49:32 | |
46,000 migrants from countries | 0:49:32 | 0:49:33 | |
like Poland left Britain. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:34 | |
That's 59 per cent more
than in previous years. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:36 | |
But is Brexit the sole
cause of the flight? | 0:49:36 | 0:49:38 | |
Our Europe Correspondent
Kevin Connolly reports | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
from central Poland. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:46 | |
In cities like Lodz,
there are signs that the tide | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
is beginning to turn. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:50 | |
Thousands of migrants worried
by Brexit and tempted by improving | 0:49:50 | 0:49:52 | |
wages in Poland are coming home
from the UK. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:59 | |
This research scientist says that
in part, it is a brain drain | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
that the UK might come to regret. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:08 | |
After Brexit she started worrying
about pensions and passports. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:10 | |
She heard the call of home. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:12 | |
If a lot of people leave,
you will need to think | 0:50:12 | 0:50:15 | |
about what will happen to that gap. | 0:50:15 | 0:50:17 | |
If you have enough British people
to fill it, that is amazing | 0:50:17 | 0:50:21 | |
and you will be able
to survive without us. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:26 | |
If not, then you might need
us more than we need | 0:50:26 | 0:50:30 | |
you because we can go
somewhere else, right? | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
Poland's National Government says
Brexit is a factor here but argues | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
this is really a story about a boom
economy with higher wages and lower | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
unemployment, offering
prosperity to its own people. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:47 | |
First of all, it is about the lowest
unemployment level in Poland now. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:52 | |
That is about an economy
that is booming. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
People are getting more money. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:56 | |
We have great social
support for the young. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
We started with the children and now
we are starting with apartments. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:04 | |
It is better and better
and better step-by-step. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:08 | |
Much of the money transforming
buildings like this old linen mill | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
into swanky shops and cinemas comes
from the European Union. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:21 | |
Piotr says his decision
was not about money, | 0:51:22 | 0:51:24 | |
he found post Brexit Britain too | 0:51:24 | 0:51:25 | |
worrying to live in. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:26 | |
I am waiting for the decision how
Brexit will look like. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
What is going to be
happening with my pension? | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
What is going to happen
with a lot of things? | 0:51:33 | 0:51:37 | |
The economic booms don't
last forever, of course. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:40 | |
But being tied the European Union,
rather than the Soviet Union has | 0:51:40 | 0:51:43 | |
transformed these once grim streets. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:48 | |
Brexit means uncertainty for many EU
citizens living in the UK. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:53 | |
For some Poles, the prospect
of prosperity beginning to appear | 0:51:53 | 0:51:57 | |
through the Autumn gloom is enough
to tip the balance on one | 0:51:57 | 0:52:01 | |
of life's biggest questions,
what country to call home? | 0:52:01 | 0:52:05 | |
That is what European governments
always said, as the standards of | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
living started to equalise across
Europe, people would naturally go | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
home. Whenever I was travelling as a
foreign correspondent, I always had | 0:52:21 | 0:52:25 | |
my heart set on going home, I was
never going to stay forever in that | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
country and I guess a lot of people
feel the same way. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:32 | |
And you have had the same thing here
because as the Mexican economy | 0:52:32 | 0:52:35 | |
picked up, for example, that is the
reason there has been net migration | 0:52:35 | 0:52:40 | |
back south across to Mexico and not
into the United States. There are | 0:52:40 | 0:52:48 | |
more jobs there, people want to go
home to their families. If the jobs | 0:52:48 | 0:52:51 | |
aren't here, they are not going to
come, they will follow the money. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:53 | |
You don't often hear me talking
about baseball, but I will do now | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
but it is mostly about blues, I
think. -- | 0:52:56 | 0:53:01 | |
-- booze. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:03 | |
Last night, the World Series kicked
off in California pitting | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
the Los Angeles Dodgers
against the Houston Astros. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
The Dodgers came away
with the first win in the | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
best-of-seven series but it is a bet
between the two state governors | 0:53:09 | 0:53:12 | |
which grabbed our attention. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:13 | |
Should California win it all,
they will be the recipient | 0:53:13 | 0:53:16 | |
of of a six-pack of Houston-brewed
beer and Texas barbeque. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:21 | |
the Government Jerry Brown of
California will get the beer and the | 0:53:21 | 0:53:26 | |
Texas governor will get the wine. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
If they lose, they better be ready
to part with a selection | 0:53:28 | 0:53:30 | |
of wine from their famous vineyards. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
The wager has added significance
after Houston suffered from record | 0:53:32 | 0:53:34 | |
flooding after Hurricane Harvey
and California is recovering | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
from deadly wildfires. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:41 | |
When I read this story, I thought,
hang on, the Texas governor is | 0:53:41 | 0:53:46 | |
handing over a six-pack of barbecue
beer, what I read over in one of the | 0:53:46 | 0:53:51 | |
papers today and if he wins, the
Texas governor gets wine from Napa, | 0:53:51 | 0:53:56 | |
Sonoma and Mendocino. That is not a
fair deal. | 0:53:56 | 0:54:00 | |
I am rooting for the wine ones. When
we get sports stories, I'm so glad | 0:54:00 | 0:54:08 | |
you're here.
3-1, they won last night. I have | 0:54:08 | 0:54:11 | |
been looking at some fact, the
Dodgers last won the World Series in | 0:54:11 | 0:54:15 | |
1988 and the Astros have never won
it since they were formed in 1962. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:21 | |
The Astros are tired, right? They
have been travelling a lot, so the | 0:54:21 | 0:54:25 | |
Dodgers have a good chance.
Anyway, they will be swimming in | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
beer. I surprised you there with a
little bit of knowledge. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |

I am going to spare you that
rendition of Blueberry Hill that I | 0:54:39 | 0:54:43 | |
learned as a child but I am going to
play you out with that and another | 0:54:43 | 0:54:47 | |
of Fats Domino's biggest hits. The
American singer sadly has died at | 0:54:47 | 0:54:52 | |
the age of 89. From ours, goodbye.
