0:00:07 > 0:00:11You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13It's been described as the most important election in America
0:00:13 > 0:00:16since Donald Trump won a year ago.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18In Virginia they are voting today for a new governor.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23For both parties it's a referendum on the President.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Democrats need to show they can translate anti-Trump
0:00:26 > 0:00:29sentiment into actual votes - for Republicans the challenge
0:00:29 > 0:00:35is winning without mentioning the man in the White House.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37He's in Asia right now - weighing in on election day
0:00:37 > 0:00:37At
0:00:37 > 0:00:40in the US and nuclear ambitions in North Korea.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Time, he says, to make a deal.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I really believe that it makes sense for North Korea to come to the table
0:00:53 > 0:01:06and to make a deal. Also, new revelations in the Paradise Papers.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Prince Charles went on to argue for a rule changes which would benefit
0:01:10 > 0:01:12an offshore company in which you had invested.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Alec Baldwin speaks to the BBC about his role as Donald Trump.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Why is that impersonation just so convincing?
0:01:19 > 0:01:26You get the left eyebrow up and the most down as far as you can.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Get in touch with us using the hashtag.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Hello and welcome.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'm Katty Kay in Richmond,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Virginia and Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Elections are always held in early November here and one year
0:01:40 > 0:01:42after Donald Trump stunned the world, Americans are back
0:01:42 > 0:01:45at the ballot box today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48In Virginia they're choosing a new governor in the most closely
0:01:48 > 0:01:50watched contest in the country since Trump's victory.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It's a tight contest between Democrat Ralph Northam
0:01:52 > 0:01:59and his Republican Rival Ed Gillespie.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04And even though he's in Asia, President Trump has weighed
0:02:04 > 0:02:06in on this election on Twitter this morning saying
0:02:06 > 0:02:08@EdWGillespie will totally turn around the high crime and poor
0:02:08 > 0:02:11economic performance of VA.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12MS-13 and crime will be gone.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Vote today, ASAP!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Big name surrogates have campaigned for both sides -
0:02:19 > 0:02:22even Barack Obama made a rare appearance to support the Democrat.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26And that's because, that happens here has implications
0:02:26 > 0:02:28far beyond this state.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33I've been out to see the final campaign push.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36They know what it's like to be on the front line of political
0:02:36 > 0:02:38fights in Richmond.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40This small southern town was the capital of the
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Confederacy in the Civil War.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44It was the site of the South's biggest
0:02:44 > 0:02:45ironworks.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48This is where they built their weapons.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50On Monument Avenue, the South's iconic leaders still loom over
0:02:50 > 0:02:54the city.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Today these massive statues are part of a new political
0:02:56 > 0:02:59battle.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Racial division has been the dark backdrop to this ugly campaign.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Are you ready to win on November 7th?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Chances are you've never heard of this man, Democrat Ralph
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Northam.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12We're going to win this election tomorrow.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Or this man, Republican Ed Gillespie.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18But this race is not really about them but
0:03:18 > 0:03:20about the president and whether Democrats can win
0:03:20 > 0:03:25in the age of Donald Trump.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27When we caught up with Gillespie last night, Donald Trump's
0:03:27 > 0:03:29name didn't pass his lips, not once.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Think of that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33The Republican candidate didn't even mention the
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Republican president.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39But Mr Gillespie has run TV ads echoing
0:03:39 > 0:03:43many of Donald Trump's issues, tough on illegal
0:03:43 > 0:03:46immigration, tough on crime.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50The Republican playbook is Trumpism without Donald Trump.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Here is his problem.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Like most of urban Virginia, Richmond is basically
0:03:54 > 0:04:00liberal.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Full of hipster coffee shops and even more hipster murals.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04This is the changing face of an increasingly
0:04:04 > 0:04:05diverse state.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08You'd think these young people would rush to send
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Donald Trump a message, but even with the Democrats' top warm-up act
0:04:11 > 0:04:16alongside him, Ralph Northam is an anaemic campaigner.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18He has flip-flopped on critical issues like
0:04:18 > 0:04:21immigration.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24There is a lot of fire in the Democrat base but you won't
0:04:24 > 0:04:29find it in Mr Northam.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Democrats should win this race and Virginia
0:04:31 > 0:04:33but politics looks a bit like this right now,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37it's really, really wild.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Very wild indeed!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And joining me today here in Richmond is our political
0:04:47 > 0:04:49analyst Ron Christie who formerly served as an advisor
0:04:49 > 0:04:54to President George W Bush.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58It is freezing cold here. You worked in the George W Bush administration
0:04:58 > 0:05:03and you have also told me you spent one year and virginiana. How
0:05:03 > 0:05:08important is this race in terms of national politics?Huge. The
0:05:08 > 0:05:16Democrats have two proves they are able to when in a southern state.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20For Republicans, very critical. They need to show that, yes, when Donald
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Trump in the White House they can still win with the candidate who has
0:05:24 > 0:05:28distanced himself from the president and has not mentioned his name and
0:05:28 > 0:05:32is doing well in the polls so both parties have a lot at stake.This
0:05:32 > 0:05:39race has been surprisingly nasty. These two are pretty centrist
0:05:39 > 0:05:41candidates but you watch the television adverts and it is
0:05:41 > 0:05:49vicious.I have not seen in 26 years I have been looking at virginiana
0:05:49 > 0:05:52anything like this. They are taking a all the stops and accusing each
0:05:52 > 0:05:59other of being racist and soft on crime, you name it. Unfortunately,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02attack ads work in the United States and a lot of people are making up
0:06:02 > 0:06:05their minds based not on the issues but what they have heard about their
0:06:05 > 0:06:12opponent.From Washington to San Francisco to Richmond Virginia, I am
0:06:12 > 0:06:18beginning to think you are a Democrat, not a Republican!I am a
0:06:18 > 0:06:22capitalist Republican, I am doing what I can.Tell me about Ed
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Gillespie, you say he is happy to run on some of the themes that
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Donald Trump has picked up on, claiming sanctuary cities and race,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36but he doesn't want to appear alongside the president.Is that how
0:06:36 > 0:06:40mainstream Republicans are going to run? I think that is exactly how it
0:06:40 > 0:06:44will work. The a lot of establishment Republicans are
0:06:44 > 0:06:49looking at Donald Trump and saying he doesn't represent us. I am
0:06:49 > 0:06:53independent and may be conservative and a Republican but not a Donald
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Trump Republican. That is what you will see with Ed Gillespie and the
0:06:57 > 0:07:01race in New Jersey is also going on, same thing, they are not talking
0:07:01 > 0:07:06about Trump but about the issues. Stay with us because you will get
0:07:06 > 0:07:09you back on the programme. Can I just complain about the weather
0:07:09 > 0:07:15because you seemed to go to places and this is really nice and sunny.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20It is absolutely freezing here today and the is a valid political point.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Bad weather seems too depressed to depress turnout among Democrats more
0:07:23 > 0:07:28than it does Republicans, so if you are dead Gillespie looking at this
0:07:28 > 0:07:33cloudy day you are probably feeling a little bit chirpy. You need to
0:07:33 > 0:07:36talk to your producers, Paris and Florence are much better than the
0:07:36 > 0:07:46summer. Let's talk about the Democrats. No love lost. Hillary
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Clinton to this by five points last year. So why is it so tight, what is
0:07:50 > 0:07:57going wrong for the Democrats?This is a very interesting state, an
0:07:57 > 0:08:00interesting city. It is very liberal in many ways and the state is
0:08:00 > 0:08:07changing with the huge number of immigrants coming in. It is trending
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Democrats and faulted for Barack Obama twice and Hillary Clinton, but
0:08:12 > 0:08:17it is also the south. There are the monuments and the majority support
0:08:17 > 0:08:21keeping the monuments. This was the place of the second biggest slave
0:08:21 > 0:08:26market in America. You don't have to scratch very beach before you get
0:08:26 > 0:08:32that old conservative South. There is that tendency that people still
0:08:32 > 0:08:36like Republicans having seen Ed Gillespie out on the campaign trail
0:08:36 > 0:08:41he is a pretty compelling candidate. He is talking about the economy and
0:08:41 > 0:08:50things people want to talk about.I will bring in the Mayor, the
0:08:50 > 0:08:59youngest Mayor of Richmond ever.35 years old. 36 now!Talk to us about
0:08:59 > 0:09:04this race because one of the issues will be and the clamour among
0:09:04 > 0:09:09African-Americans. Given how unpopular Donald Trump is in this
0:09:09 > 0:09:17state you would think Democrats could sweep virginiana?We are
0:09:17 > 0:09:21expecting a sweep tonight and Donald Trump is a motivating factor for
0:09:21 > 0:09:25many, not just African-Americans but those who live in northern
0:09:25 > 0:09:28virginiana and here in the Richmond region and in the south-east where I
0:09:28 > 0:09:33am from. Folks are fired up and this is their first chance to call it
0:09:33 > 0:09:41their concerns.Let's be honest, you are Democrat and the Poles have
0:09:41 > 0:09:43tightened more than I imagine you're comfortable with. I still don't
0:09:43 > 0:09:50really understand why your candidate is struggling as much as he has been
0:09:50 > 0:09:54doing. Is he not a good candidate is it harder to run against Donald
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Trump than you might think?I would say it is a classic virginiana race.
0:09:58 > 0:10:06I am the former campaigner for the governor. I saw times when the
0:10:06 > 0:10:10governor was way up in the polls and towards the end that always closes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17It is classic Virginia politics and the Democrat never wins by more than
0:10:17 > 0:10:21two or 2.5 points. We never expected a landslide even know Donald Trump
0:10:21 > 0:10:29has been very divisive.Let me put it to you, you are 36. Maybe you are
0:10:29 > 0:10:35the future of the Democratic party. They need a future, maybe this is
0:10:35 > 0:10:40what people wanted in the past, conventional and fairly established
0:10:40 > 0:10:45centrist Democrats. Now, perhaps to meet Donald Trump, when people want
0:10:45 > 0:10:50fired in the belly and authenticity, you need to field a candidate
0:10:50 > 0:10:55further to the left. What do you think of my hypothesis?At the end
0:10:55 > 0:10:59of the day you can espouse the values of the Democratic party.It
0:10:59 > 0:11:06is a huge thing.You have some in our party who are still centrists
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and some who are left of centre. I consider myself left of centre by
0:11:10 > 0:11:16also believe Ralph Nord have been able to expose those values while in
0:11:16 > 0:11:20office. The governor has always been focused on economic development and
0:11:20 > 0:11:26how to create a robust economy. You do that by being open and welcoming.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Ed Gillespie on the other hand has throughout the entirety of this
0:11:28 > 0:11:33campaign focused on providing people. Divide and conquer politics.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37The sort of stuff we see in Washington, DC and forks and
0:11:37 > 0:11:43Virginia don't want it.If Ralph Nord loses the election tonight and
0:11:43 > 0:11:46you have a Republican governor, how much of a blow will that be to
0:11:46 > 0:11:52Democrats nationwide?Democrats are counting to win this race. We don't
0:11:52 > 0:11:56want to feel the same way we felt after they lost last year. Even
0:11:56 > 0:12:02though we won in virginiana, we felt that throughout the country. It
0:12:02 > 0:12:05would definitely injure us but the Democrats I know are going to get
0:12:05 > 0:12:09back up the next day and make sure that their voices are heard. We saw
0:12:09 > 0:12:13that at the beginning of the year with the rallies around the country.
0:12:13 > 0:12:23Folk are frankly sick and tired. Talk to me about the weather. I came
0:12:23 > 0:12:25down yesterday 75 degrees, sunny day. This traditionally has not been
0:12:25 > 0:12:30the kind of weather that helps you? This is the kind of weather that
0:12:30 > 0:12:38helps Republicans.Very true.I've never quite understood why.It's
0:12:38 > 0:12:41cold and raining here in Richmond and the same way throughout the
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Commonwealth. Not just in Richmond, cold and rainy and South West
0:12:46 > 0:12:52Virginia and South Virginia, but I tell you, Democrats are motivated. I
0:12:52 > 0:12:56have to say, Donald Trump as part of the impetus. I guarantee you tonight
0:12:56 > 0:13:00you will see a lot of Democrats show up in school force and do you know
0:13:00 > 0:13:05what, we're going to make Virginia blue again.Come back on the
0:13:05 > 0:13:12programme again, we'd love to have you back on. This is the issue
0:13:12 > 0:13:18always, about him out for. For the Democrats, we have seen the rallies
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and watch the women's Mark Shand seemly protests. Does all of the
0:13:22 > 0:13:28anger that from and the fire they are feeling, does it actually
0:13:28 > 0:13:34translate into winning. That is what Virginia Bottomley a test.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Interesting to hear him say this is a white tent, I just wonder what the
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Bernie Sanders supporters will be saying if Ralph Northern losers.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46They may be saying they would be better with a Liberal candidate. I
0:13:46 > 0:13:53think that is exactly what the left of the Democratic base is watching.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58How do you feel they candidate who has that sense of reaching out to
0:13:58 > 0:14:02people's guts and touching hearts and emotions in a way that frankly
0:14:02 > 0:14:09with due respect to the mailer Ralph Nord has not done, that Hillary
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Clinton did not do, and if you are on the left at the moment you're
0:14:12 > 0:14:16watching this very carefully to see a factually what this race suggests
0:14:16 > 0:14:21that it is time for the left run candidates. That is why it is so
0:14:21 > 0:14:23important and it has big implications.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25You can bet President Trump will be watching events
0:14:25 > 0:14:28in Virginia and New Jersey as he continues his tour of Asia.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Mr Trump is in Seoul where he enjoyed quite
0:14:30 > 0:14:32the ceremonial welcome from the South Korean president.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Mr Trump said he "hopes to God" he doesn't have to use military
0:14:35 > 0:14:38force against North Korea - and he's urged the international
0:14:38 > 0:14:40community to stop trading with Pyongyang.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43But perhaps most intriguing - Donald Trump urged North Korea
0:14:43 > 0:14:46to "come to the table" to talk about giving up its nuclear
0:14:46 > 0:14:50weapons programme - as Mark Lowen explains.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Backing the man they say can stop North Korea's march to war,
0:14:57 > 0:15:02supporters of Donald Trump out in Seoul today defending
0:15:02 > 0:15:06his hard-line approach to the North's weapons tests.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11It is a warning to Kim Jong-un and his regime.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16If you do wrong things you are going to be destroyed.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22But across the road, the other side, fearing Mr Trump's bombastic
0:15:22 > 0:15:26talk over North Korea.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Passion and division accompanying him on this trip.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Threatening North Korea is not the answer.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37We have to get to the table and talk about it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:43These people say that when Donald Trump fires off
0:15:43 > 0:15:46a tweet storm or tirade against Kim Jong-un on the other
0:15:46 > 0:15:49side of the world, it is Seoul that is made to feel vulnerable.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52They have lived with the nuclear threat from the North for decades
0:15:52 > 0:15:58and they say President Trump is make it worse.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00The welcome was traditional, a reminder of an old alliance now
0:16:00 > 0:16:03strained as Donald Trump has accused his South Korean counterpart
0:16:03 > 0:16:04of appeasing North Korea.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It has vowed to continue to develop a long-range missile
0:16:06 > 0:16:11that could hit the US.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13The two leaders seem to present a united front,
0:16:13 > 0:16:19President Moon saying he hoped it would mark a turning
0:16:19 > 0:16:20point on North Korea.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22From Donald Trump, less fire and more talk of pressure
0:16:22 > 0:16:27on the north to change course.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31We have many things happening that we hope, we hope,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34in fact I will go a step further, we hope to God we will
0:16:34 > 0:16:35never have to use.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38With that being said, I really believe that it makes sense
0:16:38 > 0:16:48for North Korea to come to the table and to make a deal.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54That more restrained tone didn't stop the protest is.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Tomorrow they will hear more from Mr Trump as he addresses
0:16:56 > 0:16:58parliament, with tension at a critical level,
0:16:58 > 0:17:08the call for peace becomes louder.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Interesting looking at those pictures because one of the themes
0:17:11 > 0:17:16running through today, was President Trump saying you will have to buy
0:17:16 > 0:17:21some of our weapons to save yourselves and he was saying today,
0:17:21 > 0:17:27start buying reconnaissance equipment from American contractors.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31But for all that tall and today, you don't sense that it's a real change
0:17:31 > 0:17:37of heart from the North Koreans. There's that existential need with
0:17:37 > 0:17:41end Pyongyang to maintain this nuclear weapons programme because
0:17:41 > 0:17:44without it, they think, there would be regime change.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I remember the day when American presidents went to Asia to try to
0:17:48 > 0:17:54sell cars and now it seems he is selling something else. It will
0:17:54 > 0:17:55stimulate the economy!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57The latest revelations from the Paradise Papers,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59this cache of leaked documents about tax havens show that
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Prince Charles' private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04secretly invested in an offshore company in which a close
0:18:04 > 0:18:05friend was a director.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08That's perfectly legal but he's been accused of a conflict of interest
0:18:08 > 0:18:10because he went on to campaign for international rule changes that
0:18:10 > 0:18:20would have benefited the firm.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26The spokesman says he has never chosen to speak out on a topic
0:18:26 > 0:18:28simpler because of an investment decision.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36For years, Prince Charles has campaigned on environmental issues.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39This week he's in Malaysia, yesterday he spent time in the
0:18:39 > 0:18:43rainforests of Borneo.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45But Panorama has discovered he campaigned on one
0:18:45 > 0:18:52issue that he secretly stood to profit from.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55The Paradise Papers show the Prince of Wales's private
0:18:55 > 0:19:01estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, had $4
0:19:01 > 0:19:05million in tax havens of the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07This document shows $1 million in an offshore fund.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Their annual report says the Prince is actively involved
0:19:09 > 0:19:13in running the Duchy.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15The governance of the Duchy of Cornwall
0:19:15 > 0:19:21allows the Prince of Wales to have hands-on involvement so you can
0:19:21 > 0:19:24really see it stamped all over his turf.
0:19:24 > 0:19:34We found one deal that centres on this man in the cap.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36The late Hugh van Cutsem.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38He was one of the Prince's oldest friends.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40He was a director of sustainable forestry Management Ltd.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42They were registered in Bermuda and traded in
0:19:42 > 0:19:46carbon credits, a market created by international treaties to tackle
0:19:46 > 0:19:50global warming.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Sustainable forestry management Ltd would have made more money
0:19:55 > 0:19:57if international regulations were changed to include carbon credits
0:19:57 > 0:20:00from all forests.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02The chronology of events raises serious questions for
0:20:02 > 0:20:05the Prince.
0:20:05 > 0:20:12In February 2007, the Duchy buys 50 shares worth $113,500.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16At that time, SFM's directors agreed to keep the Duchy shares
0:20:16 > 0:20:19confidential.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Van Cutsem asks for a lobbying documents to be sent to the Prince's
0:20:23 > 0:20:26office.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The prince begins making speeches, campaigning for changes to two
0:20:29 > 0:20:32international agreements on carbon credits.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35In June 2008, he sells his shares for $325,000, a profit of
0:20:35 > 0:20:42more than $200,000.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But we cannot find, nor has the prince's office been
0:20:58 > 0:21:01able to show us, any speeches Prince Charles made
0:21:01 > 0:21:03on this specific issue before he bought his shares.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05He made three major speeches in the seven months
0:21:05 > 0:21:06after he bought them.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I think it is a serious conflict.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11There is a conflict of interest between the investments of the Duchy
0:21:11 > 0:21:13of Cornwall and what he is trying to achieve publicly.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I think it is unfortunate that somebody of his
0:21:17 > 0:21:19importance, of his influence, becomes involved in such a serious
0:21:19 > 0:21:21conflict.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24This is the sort of thing the Prince was saying in his
0:21:24 > 0:21:25speeches.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29The European carbon trading scheme excludes carbon
0:21:29 > 0:21:31credits for forests from developing nations.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35This has got to be wrong.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Despite the Prince's lobbying, the regulations surrounding carbon
0:21:37 > 0:21:41credits were not changed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47His spokesman said the Prince of Wales
0:21:47 > 0:21:50is free to offer thoughts and suggestions on a wide range of
0:21:50 > 0:21:51topics.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The Prince does not have any direct involvement in the investment
0:21:54 > 0:21:57decisions taken by the Duchy and he has certainly never chosen
0:21:57 > 0:21:59to speak out on a topic simply because of a
0:21:59 > 0:22:01company that it may have invested in.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I think what happened was wrong.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09What I do not think is that he deliberately acted
0:22:09 > 0:22:15in a way which was unacceptable.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I think if he realised the context in which he had
0:22:17 > 0:22:23been asked to do something, he would have acted in a different way.
0:22:23 > 0:22:31There is no suggestion that any of this is
0:22:31 > 0:22:34illegal or tax was avoided and it is impossible to know why
0:22:34 > 0:22:36the share price rose after Prince Charles's
0:22:36 > 0:22:38estate secretly invested in his friend's company.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40But for the second time in a week the Paradise Papers
0:22:40 > 0:22:47raise serious questions about how royal cash is being managed.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And for more on the Paradise Papers, just go to our website
0:22:51 > 0:22:56or smartphone app - that's at BBC News, online.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03The Trump Presidency has been particularly kind to one man.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Alec Baldwin.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08His acting career took an unlikely turn when Trump entered the frame
0:23:08 > 0:23:09as a presidential candidate.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11No-one does the impression better than Baldwin
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and let's face it, he has
0:23:14 > 0:23:16plenty of material - it is the gift which
0:23:16 > 0:23:20keeps on giving.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22He got an Emmy for his portrayal of the Donald
0:23:22 > 0:23:25on Saturday Night Live, and now he has a new book
0:23:25 > 0:23:27out with the American novelist Kurt Anderson,
0:23:27 > 0:23:28in a further parody, called You Can't Spell
0:23:29 > 0:23:31America Without Me.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36Our North America correspondent Nick Bryant has been talking to him.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39The goal was to try to find a very small menu of tics that
0:23:39 > 0:23:44you could stick to and you wouldn't lose very easily and so you get
0:23:44 > 0:23:47the left eyebrow up and you get the mouth out as far as you can
0:23:47 > 0:23:49and get the hands going.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50And there are words, too.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55China is a big one.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57We played with that and almost made up our own lexicon
0:23:57 > 0:24:00with Trump saying, "China."
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Trump was always someone who was digging for a stronger word
0:24:03 > 0:24:06in his speech that he would never find, so he would always fall back
0:24:06 > 0:24:10on the same three words.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13This new tax plan is a tax I'm very proud of and the American
0:24:13 > 0:24:16people are going to find this really, really...
0:24:16 > 0:24:25A great tax plan.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31Still so good every single time. We haven't even seen Steve Bannon and
0:24:31 > 0:24:36that one. Here is my counter the array. This is great for comedy
0:24:36 > 0:24:42writers, etc, but if you happen to be a drama writer, it is useless
0:24:42 > 0:24:44because what is happening in the White House is so much more dramatic
0:24:44 > 0:24:49than anything you could make up.I think the scriptwriters of house of
0:24:49 > 0:24:55cards said that, but there's a more serious point, that there are media
0:24:55 > 0:25:00outlets and programmes like Saturday Night Live that are doing very well
0:25:00 > 0:25:08and are going through the roof.New York Times, all of the cable news
0:25:08 > 0:25:12channels, this is being seen in America after everybody saying what
0:25:12 > 0:25:18is the future of journalism and media. This is a kind of boomtime,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22almost a ruinous honours in the journalism industry, and Donald
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Trump knows that whatever he says about slamming news organisations he
0:25:26 > 0:25:30also loves the fact he get so much more news coverage, the weird
0:25:30 > 0:25:32relationship with the press.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel
0:25:38 > 0:25:40and BBC World News - I'll have more from Richmond,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Virginia where a key battle for governor is playing out
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and the campaigning here, is personal.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51We'll be looking at the political adverts from both sides.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53And I'll be speaking to the Mexican tourism minister -
0:25:53 > 0:25:55is Donald Trump good for business south of the border?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59We'll be finding out.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19A day of contrasting fortunes across the British Isles and for many it
0:26:19 > 0:26:25was one of those, quite wet at times and when they also. To the west it
0:26:25 > 0:26:29eventually improved but it took a while, had to move this weather
0:26:29 > 0:26:34front just a little bit further towards the East and bright skies
0:26:34 > 0:26:38popping up across Scotland Northern Ireland and down into the south of
0:26:38 > 0:26:43England. Through the yesterday evening and overnight the front
0:26:43 > 0:26:48continues towards the east, the rain tending to weekend. Behind it the
0:26:48 > 0:26:54skies began to clear land as a consequence the temperature dips and
0:26:54 > 0:27:02there will be significant frost in some sports. Here we are first up on
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Wednesday. The frontal system on Tuesday still lacking across the
0:27:06 > 0:27:11south-east, the odd spot of rain. Quite a bit of close around, you
0:27:11 > 0:27:14have to come further into the South West of England dug up into the
0:27:14 > 0:27:20North of England, the greater part of Scotland and Northern Ireland,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24before that bright but chilly start will come back to this new AV up of
0:27:24 > 0:27:30wind and cloud and rain in just the second. A pretty decent sort of day.
0:27:30 > 0:27:36Crisp but a lot of sunshine and the lot of dry weather. If Tuesday put a
0:27:36 > 0:27:39dent in your spirits Wednesday should lift them for the most part,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44at least until the cloud and rain pours across the eastern side of
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Scotland and then to Northern Ireland. It continues its journey
0:27:47 > 0:27:51through the course of the evening overnight and into the first part of
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Thursday but you notice as I push is on into the day on Thursday, not an
0:27:56 > 0:28:00awful lot of rain on those weather fronts. The wind is in the West so
0:28:00 > 0:28:04not particularly cold despite the presence of all that cloud and
0:28:04 > 0:28:10little in the way of sunshine. What about Friday? I am keeping an eye on
0:28:10 > 0:28:15this developing area of low pressure. Friday itself is blustery,
0:28:15 > 0:28:19cooler with the north-westerly breeze and then the wind and rain
0:28:19 > 0:28:23skirts its way across the southern half of England and Wales to leave
0:28:23 > 0:28:28us with the weekend that is bright and breezy what some showers and
0:28:28 > 0:28:32feeling cold given the strength of the north-westerly wind.
0:30:08 > 0:30:08If
0:30:08 > 0:30:11This is Beyond One Hundred Days, with me Katty Kay in
0:30:11 > 0:30:12with me Katty Kay in
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Richmond, Virginia - Christian Fraser's in London.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Our top and stories.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18We're the watching a key vote for governor in the US
0:30:18 > 0:30:20state of Virginia - a test for the Republicans
0:30:20 > 0:30:24a year after Donald Trump won the presidency.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27He's in South Korea, where - he said - the US is prepared to use
0:30:27 > 0:30:30the full range of military might against North Korea.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Coming up in the next half hour.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35He travelled to another country, then quit his post...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37What the resignation of Lebanon's PM means
0:30:37 > 0:30:42for his country's fragile peace?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45The British citizen jailed in Iran - fears the UK foreign secretary
0:30:45 > 0:30:50made her plight worse by saying she was training journalists there.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag...
0:30:52 > 0:31:02'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Now under normal circumstances a vote deciding who will be the next
0:31:05 > 0:31:07governor of Virginia wouldn't exactly classify as top news
0:31:07 > 0:31:10but such is American politics at the moment -
0:31:10 > 0:31:12everyone is looking for clues as to where next years mid
0:31:12 > 0:31:14terms might be heading.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16The President's name isn't on the ticket -
0:31:16 > 0:31:21his impact is certainly being felt.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Yes, Democrats need to prove they can win in the age
0:31:26 > 0:31:28of Trump and the race
0:31:28 > 0:31:30today here in Virginia is their test.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Voters are divided between Ralph Northam and Ed Gillespie -
0:31:33 > 0:31:33you
0:31:33 > 0:31:36but they are probably united on one thing - it will be a relief
0:31:36 > 0:31:38when the political ads stop running.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Here is just a small sample of what the people here have been
0:31:41 > 0:31:42bombarded with recently.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45They call him Enron Ed because Washington, DC lobbyist Ed
0:31:45 > 0:31:55Gillespie represented the worst of the worst.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean
0:31:59 > 0:32:00by the American dream?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Ralph Northam voted in favour of sanctuarie cities that let
0:32:03 > 0:32:06dangerous and illegal immigrants back on the street.
0:32:06 > 0:32:16Ralph Northam didn't do his job.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26#XXX not a nice or friendly. Mad. .
0:32:26 > 0:32:27For analysis on today's hotly contested race I'm
0:32:27 > 0:32:28joined by Quentin Kidd.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30He's a Professor of Political Science at
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Christopher Newport University.
0:32:36 > 0:32:43Everyone wants to know how the polls are standing we have turned out
0:32:43 > 0:32:51percentages to think of right know. Turnout is about 30%. Four years ago
0:32:51 > 0:32:57it was 43%. The line is 43, 40 4% for a Democrat to have a good night,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01below that Gillespie will have a good night so both parties are
0:33:01 > 0:33:07working frantically to get voters to the polls. It looks like the average
0:33:07 > 0:33:11is around 35% with about five hours left to vote.A lot of people around
0:33:11 > 0:33:17the world would look at an election like this in America, they would see
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Donald Trump, he is at 37% here in Virginia and they would see of
0:33:22 > 0:33:26course Democrats will turn out in huge numbers to send a message to
0:33:26 > 0:33:31the White House, what is the problem for Democrats, why aren't the
0:33:31 > 0:33:35channelling that energy into people actually voting?Democrats
0:33:35 > 0:33:40themselves are struggling with each other, the progressive and their
0:33:40 > 0:33:47moderate wing cannot come together to decide on a unified front to put
0:33:47 > 0:33:51forward against Donald Trump. Ralph Northam is the nominee but there was
0:33:51 > 0:33:57a very contested primary between him and another candidate. Some of the
0:33:57 > 0:33:59difficulties Democrats have nationally are mirrored here in
0:33:59 > 0:34:05Virginia.One of the issues Hillary Clinton had was not getting
0:34:05 > 0:34:10African-Americans to turn out. Do you think it will turn out for Ralph
0:34:10 > 0:34:20Northam?That is the big question. Democrats feel that having an
0:34:20 > 0:34:26African-American votes turn will help them. Behind us that is a big
0:34:26 > 0:34:29concern about African-American turnout, that could be the added
0:34:29 > 0:34:35half percent or percent that Ralph Northam needs to win today.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41Everybody is watching Virginia, lots of networks are here, are we right
0:34:41 > 0:34:45to extrapolate from this release that this is what it says that the
0:34:45 > 0:34:49future of American politics?I think so anyway. Ed Gillespie's strategy
0:34:49 > 0:34:56was to embrace trump strategy but not trump himself. If that works, we
0:34:56 > 0:35:01will see that all over the country next year.A tougher line on
0:35:01 > 0:35:09emigration, more hardline?Exactly. Everything that trump represents
0:35:09 > 0:35:14will embrace his candidates. Which of these strategies works today will
0:35:14 > 0:35:19send signals to the parties for 2018 and the strategies the person who?
0:35:19 > 0:35:25Thank you very much for joining me, a fascinating race and the polls
0:35:25 > 0:35:30have been tightening, it will depend a lot on turnout. We have spoken
0:35:30 > 0:35:35about the Democratic challenger, a few years ago they ran Republican
0:35:35 > 0:35:42governors who were moderate and centrist trying to make the
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Republicans figure by being more inclusive if what Quentin Kidd is
0:35:46 > 0:35:51saying is correct, we could see a total slap in the Republican
0:35:51 > 0:35:55strategy for elections, be more tough on things like immigration, it
0:35:55 > 0:36:00is a real change from five years ago for Republicans.When it comes to
0:36:00 > 0:36:07turnout, I remember last year, swing states like Florida and Michigan,
0:36:07 > 0:36:12they were jumping up and down where turnout was high in Democratic areas
0:36:12 > 0:36:15but the turnout was really good in rural conservative areas for Donald
0:36:15 > 0:36:21Trump as well?Yes, you often get that later on in the day. As you
0:36:21 > 0:36:26watch the returns coming in, it is often the rural areas which start
0:36:26 > 0:36:32counting later. I saw Democrats this morning saying great turnout in
0:36:32 > 0:36:39Northern Virginia but C high those more rural areas vote and what the
0:36:39 > 0:36:46turnout S. -- but let us see how those more rural areas. Let us move
0:36:46 > 0:36:47on to Lebanon.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Is the fragile peace in Lebanon in danger of unravelling once again?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53This weekend the Prime Minister Saad Hariri stepped down from his post
0:36:53 > 0:36:56while on a visit to Saudi Arabia, claiming he feared for his life.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57He is yet to return.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Lebanese newspapers, loyal to his opponents Hezbollah,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02allege he was placed under house arrest after arriving in Riyadh -
0:37:02 > 0:37:04and was forced to quit.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08This matters because in Lebanon the peace depends on a fragile
0:37:08 > 0:37:11alliance between Christians, Sunnis and Shias.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Each group controlling one branch of the government.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Without Hariri in the picture, that delicate balance is compromised.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21So what is behind all this?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23I have been speaking to the Middle East expert,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Angus Blair, who is in Cairo.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27He is the chief operating officer for Pharos Holdings -
0:37:27 > 0:37:30he began by telling me about the significance
0:37:30 > 0:37:34of Hariri's departure.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38It is a wider part of a bigger change across all of the region
0:37:38 > 0:37:44and probably some of the biggest changes I have seen in 25 years
0:37:44 > 0:37:48of covering the region.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Saad Hariri made his resignation outside of Lebanon
0:37:50 > 0:37:52which was highly unusual the other day.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56He had been meeting the Saudi leadership.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Also today he had gone to Abu Dhabi and Bahrain to meet
0:37:59 > 0:38:00other regional leaders.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03It is not usual for a prime minister to go to another country
0:38:03 > 0:38:07to announce his resignation.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Is there any leverage the Saudis might have over him?
0:38:10 > 0:38:15I think we have to put it in context of Lebanon since 1989
0:38:15 > 0:38:17and the agreement which was signed in Saudi, based
0:38:17 > 0:38:19around coexistence.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25That original hope over time has diminished,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27particularly since 2006 and the Hezbollah/Israel
0:38:27 > 0:38:29war, and particularly after the assassination
0:38:29 > 0:38:35of Saad Hariri's father in 2005.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40The equilibrium of Lebanon has altered tremendously in that time.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43It has become much more difficult to maintain equilibrium because of
0:38:43 > 0:38:47interference from outside.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51That interference has come from Teheran and also Riyadh.
0:38:51 > 0:39:01The Saudis will be aware of the difficulty of stitching peace
0:39:02 > 0:39:07agreement together all those years ago, that if you take the Sunni out
0:39:07 > 0:39:09of this triumvirate, the PM, you have a very
0:39:09 > 0:39:10difficult process
0:39:10 > 0:39:13ahead of you and that could put a piece at risk?
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Absolutely.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Well, the equilibrium at risk.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18In Lebanon, as I said, it is under enormous stress and not
0:39:18 > 0:39:21been helped by a massive influx of Syrian refugees, over 1 million
0:39:21 > 0:39:26refugees in Lebanon.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Presumably this is down to the Crown Prince exercising his
0:39:28 > 0:39:35muscles with the tacit approval of President Trump, the president
0:39:35 > 0:39:40wants him to get tough with Iranian proxies in the region?
0:39:40 > 0:39:48I would remove President Trump, with respect, from this occasion.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53-- equation.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56No matter what he says on Twitter, that is his view
0:39:56 > 0:39:58and that is for America to deal with.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01It is the approval of other states, particularly the UAE, Bahrain
0:40:01 > 0:40:05and Kuwait but it is definitely being Saudi led.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08You have to remember that America has tried to provide a balance
0:40:08 > 0:40:11between Qatar and Riyadh in the last month or so following sanctions so I
0:40:11 > 0:40:18would suggest that at the moment, it is being led by Saudi
0:40:18 > 0:40:20in particular the Crown Prince, but with the approval
0:40:20 > 0:40:22of other regional leaders.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Angus Blair, thank you very much for being with us.
0:40:25 > 0:40:35Thank you.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40People will be remembering the 15 years of civil war in Lebanon and
0:40:40 > 0:40:46what it did to Beirut. No one will want to see that return. It is a
0:40:46 > 0:40:53very dangerous time in the Middle East. Let us move on.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary, has faced angry calls
0:40:55 > 0:40:58for his resignation from opposition MPs today - after he opened
0:40:58 > 0:41:01a Commons statement - again failing to admit that he made
0:41:01 > 0:41:03an error last week when speaking about a British
0:41:03 > 0:41:04woman detained in Iran.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Mr Johnson said, Nazanin Zagari Ratcliffe, had been training
0:41:06 > 0:41:08journalists while in Iran when she was detained last year.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Her husband says, she was there on a family visit.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14This afternoon, Mr Johnson said he was sorry if his remarks had
0:41:14 > 0:41:19been "misconstrued".
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Of course I am sorry if any words of mine have been so taken out
0:41:23 > 0:41:26of context and so misconstrued as to cause any kind
0:41:26 > 0:41:29of anxiety for the family of Nazanin Zagari Ratcliffe,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31of course I am.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Of course I am.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Let's get more on this now with our Political Correspondent
0:41:37 > 0:41:44Eleanor Garnier who's in Westminster.
0:41:44 > 0:41:51Sources close to the Foreign Office to me today that if a civil servant
0:41:51 > 0:41:56drops the ball, they go through a six-month programme called a
0:41:56 > 0:41:59performance improvement programme, I would do say there are some civil
0:41:59 > 0:42:04servants one drink if the Foreign Secretary should go through the same
0:42:04 > 0:42:08programme?Very interesting to here and certainly when you are watching
0:42:08 > 0:42:13in the House of Commons this afternoon, Boris Johnson faced a
0:42:13 > 0:42:18barrage of criticism over his remarks. MPs were angry that it had
0:42:18 > 0:42:22taken him a week to clarify his remarks. They were angry that he
0:42:22 > 0:42:28then did not come out and give an unequivocal apology first thing this
0:42:28 > 0:42:32morning. There were repeated calls for him to say sorry. Eventually he
0:42:32 > 0:42:39did give an apology of some sort. He said that he was insistent that his
0:42:39 > 0:42:50remarks had in no way damaged or affected the Iranian case. He said
0:42:50 > 0:42:53his Iranian counterpart Howard reiterated this. But for many people
0:42:53 > 0:42:58this is the latest gaffe by Boris Johnson. Last month he angered the
0:42:58 > 0:43:05Libyan government by saying if dead bodies were removed it could become
0:43:05 > 0:43:09a popular place for tourists. He has faced repeated calls for him to step
0:43:09 > 0:43:14down. We had one Conservative MP today saying he did not understand
0:43:14 > 0:43:20the magnitude of his job and the responsibility who holds. If Theresa
0:43:20 > 0:43:24May's position was not so precarious, all the calls for a bad
0:43:24 > 0:43:28-- Boris Johnson to resign or be sacked would be getting more
0:43:28 > 0:43:32traction.We should have some pity for the Prime Minister at the moment
0:43:32 > 0:43:38because she has that on her plate, sexual harassment investigation and
0:43:38 > 0:43:45also Priti Patel going on holiday to Israeli -- to Israel visiting their
0:43:45 > 0:43:52Israeli prime minister.Yes, in her case she has been economical with
0:43:52 > 0:43:56the truth about who she visited during her holiday this year and
0:43:56 > 0:44:02also about who and when she told about those visits and also about
0:44:02 > 0:44:07what she divulges had been discussed in some of those meetings. Priti
0:44:07 > 0:44:11Patel, like the Foreign Secretary, is facing calls to resign and calls
0:44:11 > 0:44:18for the Prime Minister to sack her. If Theresa May's position was not so
0:44:18 > 0:44:22fragile, Priti Patel's position would be in danger. Many are saying
0:44:22 > 0:44:28she would have been sacked already by now. But if you consider what
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Theresa May is dealing with right though, allegations of sleaze, her
0:44:33 > 0:44:39deputy facing an investigation for allegations he denies, Damian Green,
0:44:39 > 0:44:45she has already lost her defence secretary. She does not have a
0:44:45 > 0:44:50majority and we must not forget that is the battle with Brussels on the
0:44:50 > 0:44:57Brexit negotiations. If her position stronger, then both Foreign
0:44:57 > 0:44:58Secretary her International Development Secretary could be in a
0:44:58 > 0:45:04far more serious position.Good to talk to you, thank you very much. I
0:45:04 > 0:45:09do have some pity for the Foreign Secretary, you often tell me to go
0:45:09 > 0:45:15on a performance improvement programme.Excuse me, two ways you
0:45:15 > 0:45:22should never apologise, I am sorry but and I am sorry F. How
0:45:22 > 0:45:25mealy-mouthed that is, if you say that to me or your wife, you would
0:45:25 > 0:45:31get nowhere. Still to come on the programme.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35This is Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37They're neighbours, but could they ever be neighbourly?
0:45:37 > 0:45:39The Mexican tourism secretary talks to us about doing
0:45:39 > 0:45:43business with Donald Trump - who needs more most?
0:45:43 > 0:45:45A senior Welsh politician has been found dead after facing allegations,
0:45:45 > 0:45:47from a number of women, about his personal conduct.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Carl Sargeant took his own life.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53A Labour member of the Welsh Assembly, he was sacked on Friday
0:45:53 > 0:45:55from his job as cabinet secretary for communities and children
0:45:55 > 0:45:57and suspended from the party.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Sian Lloyd reports.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Morning all.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05Carl Sergeant was a wellknown figure in Welsh politics.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09His role as Cabinet Secretary for children and
0:46:09 > 0:46:14communities was close to his heart but the married father of two was
0:46:14 > 0:46:17sacked from the job on Friday by Wales's first Minister, Carwyn
0:46:17 > 0:46:20Jones, amid allegations of his personal conduct made by number of
0:46:20 > 0:46:22women.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26Today Mr Jones said he was shocked and deeply saddened by the
0:46:26 > 0:46:28news of Carl Sargeant's death.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30The assembly member had been suspended
0:46:30 > 0:46:34by the Labour party and an investigation began
0:46:34 > 0:46:37but Mr Sargent maintained he was never told the
0:46:37 > 0:46:43exact details of the allegations against him.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described his death
0:46:47 > 0:46:57as deeply shocking.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04All allegations Must be examined and pursued but also has to
0:47:04 > 0:47:07be great pastoral care and support given to everybody involved.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Police were called to Carl Sargeant's home
0:47:08 > 0:47:10shortly before 11 o'clock this morning.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12It is understood the 49-year-old had taken his own life.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16His wife and children are devastated.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18He was the glue that binds us together they said in a
0:47:18 > 0:47:20statement tonight.
0:47:20 > 0:47:21At the Welsh assembly, flags were lowered to
0:47:21 > 0:47:26half-mast and there's a feeling of sadness as well a shock.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28All business here at the National Assembly
0:47:28 > 0:47:29has been suspended as a
0:47:29 > 0:47:31mark of respect to Carl Sargeant.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34The mood here is sombre as members reflect on the man they knew and
0:47:34 > 0:47:44questions remain about the personal turmoil that surrounded him.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days...
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Donald Trump's views on international trade have
0:47:55 > 0:47:56been pretty consistent.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Free trade must mean fair trade.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03Next week in Mexico City, the US, Mexico and Canada,
0:48:03 > 0:48:06will come together for a crunch round of talks on the North Atlantic
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Free Trade Agreement - it's survival very much
0:48:08 > 0:48:11in the balance.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13As it stands, NAFTA accounts for nearly a quarter
0:48:13 > 0:48:18of all world trade - there are millions of jobs at stake.
0:48:18 > 0:48:19But the negotiation is proving difficult
0:48:19 > 0:48:24and in Mexico's case - they are dealing with
0:48:24 > 0:48:26an American President, who has been playing tough.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29We are living through the greatest jobs theft in the
0:48:29 > 0:48:30history of the world.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Our jobs are going to Mexico.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Jobs are pouring out of the country.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37You see what is going on with all the companies
0:48:37 > 0:48:41leaving our country going to Mexico and other places.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46The wall is going to get built and the wall is
0:48:46 > 0:48:51going to stop drugs and it is going to stop a lot of people from coming
0:48:51 > 0:48:59in that shouldn't be here.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Will take care of it, we'll take care
0:49:01 > 0:49:03of it all, I just want to let you know.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06An end to NAFTA would mean reverting to WTO rules -
0:49:06 > 0:49:07that would certainly hit Mexico hard.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Over 75 percent of its exports are shipped to the United States.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12So what is Mexico doing to mitigate that potential loss.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15And how are they going to deal with the American President more
0:49:15 > 0:49:17generally - when it comes to the wall, immigration,
0:49:17 > 0:49:18and drug trafficking.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21A little earlier I spoke to Enrique de la Madrid.
0:49:21 > 0:49:22He is the Secretary for Tourism.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23He is here in London.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27President Trump has described Nafta is the worst trade deal of, do you
0:49:27 > 0:49:33think that is a real risk the negotiation will end?It has not
0:49:33 > 0:49:37been the worst thing ever, has been very positive for Mexico. Many
0:49:37 > 0:49:41American firms are competitive because of joint production with
0:49:41 > 0:49:50Mexico. We see everyday manufacturing film -- firms, the
0:49:50 > 0:49:55amount of people working in the food sector, the amount of food they sell
0:49:55 > 0:50:01to Mexico so it has been a positive deal for both countries. That is a
0:50:01 > 0:50:06risk but were never under negotiation which is good. It had to
0:50:06 > 0:50:12be renewed, it is more than 20 years old and it is reasonable to renew it
0:50:12 > 0:50:20but hopefully we can maintain it. What is the risk of it collapsing?
0:50:20 > 0:50:25The intention of the United States government, if they do not intend to
0:50:25 > 0:50:29negotiate and things are difficult for us to agree, then it might
0:50:29 > 0:50:35happen but it will not be to pull out of the deal.The US car industry
0:50:35 > 0:50:43was 300,000 jobs since 1994, he said in the media, in the same period the
0:50:43 > 0:50:51Mexican car industry has risen to half a million.We have -- the
0:50:51 > 0:50:55amount of workers who have been lost in the automobile industry are not
0:50:55 > 0:51:03the amount of workers we have lost in Mexico. There is a process of
0:51:03 > 0:51:08alternation of substituting workers for machines. The way to keep jobs
0:51:08 > 0:51:12is not to create walls but it is to give training and education for
0:51:12 > 0:51:18people to get to the new jobs.What about the wall? Does that hang like
0:51:18 > 0:51:22a cloud over the negotiation because he says you will pay for the wall?
0:51:22 > 0:51:27Bill and Ben were certain is that we will not pay for the wall. -- the
0:51:27 > 0:51:38only thing we are certain. There are two walls, the wall already exists.
0:51:38 > 0:51:43There is trade benefiting many of the American people. The appealing
0:51:43 > 0:51:53prices for food and furniture, 35 years ago, this was established and
0:51:53 > 0:51:58trade helps all of us. We tend to import what other people are good at
0:51:58 > 0:52:03and we export what we're good at. Trade helps the world. You are here
0:52:03 > 0:52:12for the world travel market. Absolutely, the UK is the third most
0:52:12 > 0:52:16important country to Mexico for trading. Close to half a million
0:52:16 > 0:52:21British people go to Mexico. We add the eighth largest country in terms
0:52:21 > 0:52:27of receiving foreigners.I read about the natural disasters and the
0:52:27 > 0:52:32murder rate, it is the worst in a generation, 20,000 people killed
0:52:32 > 0:52:37this year. You have said this is undeniable that that is a speck of
0:52:37 > 0:52:41violence and tourist areas so why are people still coming?Yes,
0:52:41 > 0:52:46unfortunately there is an increase in the crime rate but we also have
0:52:46 > 0:52:50to clarify that those have to do with people and criminal
0:52:50 > 0:52:54organisations fighting among themselves.Do you think you are
0:52:54 > 0:53:00losing the war against drug gangs? This is a global issue, it cannot
0:53:00 > 0:53:03have a local response. It has to be resolved through dialogue with
0:53:03 > 0:53:09Mexico and the US.What about the Mexicans who went to the United
0:53:09 > 0:53:12States with their parents are legally, they were minors and they
0:53:12 > 0:53:19may be sent back, by Donald Trump and his administration, what if they
0:53:19 > 0:53:24came back?If they came back, they would be well received. Imagine
0:53:24 > 0:53:28people that have the training and language and know the American
0:53:28 > 0:53:33people, it would be a great asset for us but a loss for the United
0:53:33 > 0:53:37States but we welcome to receive them.Thank you very much.
0:53:37 > 0:53:43Let's go back to our special coverage from Richmond, Virginia.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47That was fascinating, especially about the dreamers being welcomed
0:53:47 > 0:53:54back to Mexico.
0:53:54 > 0:54:00We have spoken about the Democrats, we had the Democratic mayor on for
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Richmond, you're close to Ed Gillespie, as I'm last night and
0:54:03 > 0:54:08thought he ran an impressive campaign but you think you can pull
0:54:08 > 0:54:15of?I think he can because he has campaigned hard. Virginia is still a
0:54:15 > 0:54:18retail politics State, the likes seeing you on their doorstep and at
0:54:18 > 0:54:21the shopping centre and he has done a good job of getting his message
0:54:21 > 0:54:28out and articulating a tax plan. So yes, I think the odds were against
0:54:28 > 0:54:34Gillespie two weeks ago but now I think he has a short at pulling this
0:54:34 > 0:54:42off.We were talking about Steve Bannon today, Ed Gillespie wins, is
0:54:42 > 0:54:47that one in the arm for the established Republicans in
0:54:47 > 0:54:51Washington?Yes, I think it is. It is important to recognise that Steve
0:54:51 > 0:54:59Bannon says he wants to run against all 12 of the Republicans except Ted
0:54:59 > 0:55:04Cruz in the play many. This would be a nice short in the arm for the
0:55:04 > 0:55:11establishment and dampen some of the Steve Bannon enthusiasm.Ed
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Gillespie has always been an establishment Republican but what
0:55:14 > 0:55:20about the notion that Republicans are going to run further to the
0:55:20 > 0:55:29right, harder on issues like immigration and crime? Trump is
0:55:29 > 0:55:32pulling establishment characters to the right in the way the Democrats
0:55:32 > 0:55:39are being pulled to the left?It is an interesting fact. That is a book
0:55:39 > 0:55:44out next week which is looking at George W Bush and his father and
0:55:44 > 0:55:47there is a sense that Republicans are going so far to the right that
0:55:47 > 0:55:53the party I became a part of has left us.What happened to the
0:55:53 > 0:55:59middle?Heard I am in the middle in the meantime, you will find younger
0:55:59 > 0:56:03Republicans which will bring us back the centre.Thank you for joining us
0:56:03 > 0:56:09here in Richmond. It has been great to have you here. We will have all
0:56:09 > 0:56:16of those results tomorrow. Ross will be up till four in the morning to
0:56:16 > 0:56:22keep us posted. That'll be good. Get to get your the -- good to get your
0:56:22 > 0:56:33thoughts, both of you. Thank you very much for watching, goodbye.
