0:00:11 > 0:00:12You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Score one for China.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15The US President backs away from the chance
0:00:15 > 0:00:18to punish Beijing on trade.
0:00:18 > 0:00:28In his visit to China, Mr Trump makes it
0:00:28 > 0:00:31clear his priority is addressing the North Korean nuclear crisis, not
0:00:31 > 0:00:32the trade imbalance.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34The result of that calculation - the President calls Xi a "special
0:00:34 > 0:00:43man" and says China is not to blame for the trade deficit.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46A year on from the American election, was this the week
0:00:46 > 0:00:48the Democrats turned a corner with voters?
0:00:48 > 0:00:49We'll hear from the outgoing governor of Virginia.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I think it was an affirmation they were happy with
0:00:52 > 0:00:53the last four years.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56If we had not done a good job the last four years,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58my lieutenant governor, I don't care anything about Trump,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59we would not have won.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02They are the women who helped put Donald Trump in the White House.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We go to Florida where the President's supporters
0:01:04 > 0:01:05are still fired up.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08We are more angry and more determined to stand with him to see
0:01:08 > 0:01:10that what we voted for happens.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Also on the programme...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16After a chaotic time at Number Ten, Britain has a new International
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Development Secretary - is the crisis at Westminster over?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22The "lucky" British surfer who survived this monster wave
0:01:22 > 0:01:31in Portugal, which broke more than his pride.
0:01:31 > 0:01:41Get in touch with us using the #Beyond100Days.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Hello and welcome, I'm Katty Kay in Washington
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51What a difference a year makes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Today in Beijing, President Trump suggested China's trade habits
0:01:53 > 0:01:55were totally understandable and who could blame them for running
0:01:55 > 0:01:59up huge surpluses against America.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03It's an entirely different message from the one he pitched to US voters
0:02:03 > 0:02:07during the campaign, when he promised a trade war with China.
0:02:07 > 0:02:14Mr Trump has now encountered the exact same problem that previous
0:02:14 > 0:02:17US Presidents faced with China - you can't get Beijing on side
0:02:17 > 0:02:18while simultaneously slamming them on trade.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The US President has clearly decided the priority
0:02:20 > 0:02:23is dealing with North Korea, and that means toning down
0:02:23 > 0:02:24some of the rhetoric.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26The big question is, how far is President Xi prepared
0:02:26 > 0:02:28to move when it comes to the nuclear crisis?
0:02:28 > 0:02:35Here's our China editor, Carrie Gracie.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The real estate billionaire and the career communist,
0:02:37 > 0:02:43making an odd couple.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But both see themselves as men of destiny, with a mission
0:02:46 > 0:02:51to make their nation great again.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56President Trump once raged that China was a jobs thief.
0:02:56 > 0:03:06But in Beijing, he was all smiles and gratitude.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10President Xi, now a "very special man" who makes his people proud.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I just want to thank you for the very warm welcome.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15My feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one...
0:03:15 > 0:03:16They did eventually talk about the hard things.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The North Korean nuclear crisis and a massive US trade
0:03:19 > 0:03:23deficit in China's favour.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But Donald Trump blamed that on previous American
0:03:25 > 0:03:26presidents, not on his host.
0:03:26 > 0:03:36I don't blame China.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Who can blame a country for being able to take
0:03:42 > 0:03:45advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46I give China great credit.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And America's deal-maker in chief got some big sales in return.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53China needs to keep stable access to US markets.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55TRANSLATION:The common interests of our two countries are far greater
0:03:55 > 0:03:57than the differences.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02With constructive attitudes, we can look for common ground.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07This is not a real news conference.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10There are no questions from the media, either on North Korea,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13nor on whether the business deals are worth celebrating
0:04:13 > 0:04:21in the absence of a major move to open Chinese markets.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Instead, a US president is starring in a show put
0:04:23 > 0:04:25on by his host to give the impression of openness
0:04:25 > 0:04:34while maintaining an iron grip on the message.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Charm and disarm - but when the toasts are over,
0:04:36 > 0:04:43the trade deficit will still be big and North Korea still a crisis.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45President Xi hopes this personal bond will convince Americans that
0:04:45 > 0:04:47China's rise does not mean US decline.
0:04:47 > 0:04:57Carrie Gracie, BBC News, Beijing.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03As President Trump prepares to bid farewell to President Xi Jinping,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05let's get the thoughts of Gary Locke, who served
0:05:05 > 0:05:07as US ambassador to China in the Obama administration.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09He joins us today from Seattle.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Thank you very much for joining us. Looking at the trip over the last
0:05:12 > 0:05:14twos days it's hard to come away with anything but the impression
0:05:14 > 0:05:16that China holds the cards in this relationship at the moment?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19that China holds the cards in this relationship at the moment?China
0:05:19 > 0:05:24putting on a charm offensive, treating President Trump to
0:05:24 > 0:05:30unparalleled red carpet treatment, lavish banquets, tours of the
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Forbidden City. While President Trump and the Chinese President have
0:05:35 > 0:05:37announced sales of American products and services to China, many of these
0:05:37 > 0:05:42were in the works for quite some time, already agreed to by various
0:05:42 > 0:05:46US companies and their Chinese counterparts. It's standard practice
0:05:46 > 0:05:50on these trade missions for the Presidents to I a nouns these to
0:05:50 > 0:05:53great fanfare, but the real question is whether or not China is opening
0:05:53 > 0:05:59up its markets to foreign businesses to foreign investment? So many parts
0:05:59 > 0:06:01of the Chinese sector the economy are off limits to foreign
0:06:01 > 0:06:07investment. Unlike America and parts of Europe where there are almost no
0:06:07 > 0:06:10restrictions to foreign investment. There is not a level playing field
0:06:10 > 0:06:14between foreign companies and American companies doing business in
0:06:14 > 0:06:17China versus the Chinese doing business in all parts of the world.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That is true of other foreign companies too, not just American
0:06:20 > 0:06:24companies who find they have that problem. If the Chinese were nervous
0:06:24 > 0:06:29about President Trump coming along and making good on any of his
0:06:29 > 0:06:33campaign promises, tariffs, currency manipulation that kind of thing, the
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Chinese got off lightly, didn't they?President Trump has not fold
0:06:36 > 0:06:43through on his campaign promises since shortly after he took office.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48China is not a currency manipulator. That is the view of virtually all
0:06:48 > 0:06:54world economists. I'm glad he did not impose 50% tariffs on Chinese
0:06:54 > 0:06:57goods entering the United States. The Chinese would have retall rated
0:06:57 > 0:07:03on US goods going into China. That would have raised the price of
0:07:03 > 0:07:07American goods and cost American companies jobs as well as sales.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13That would have benefitted the competitors of US companies, whether
0:07:13 > 0:07:17it's Airbus or European other companies. It would have cost jobs
0:07:17 > 0:07:20in earthquake America. In a trade war that is what would have
0:07:20 > 0:07:24happened, all sides lose. The workers lose and the consumers lose.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Instead, the President needs to focus on very specific sectors, very
0:07:28 > 0:07:32specific parts of the Chinese economy that are off limits to
0:07:32 > 0:07:35foreign investment, including investment from America. That's what
0:07:35 > 0:07:40we really need to focus on. We need to focus on protecting intellectual
0:07:40 > 0:07:45property, making sure there is a rule of law. Making sure the Chinese
0:07:45 > 0:07:49treat foreign applications for business opportunities fairly
0:07:49 > 0:07:53instead of sometimes delaying those application, not taking any action
0:07:53 > 0:07:56for years while Chinese companies get their applications approved
0:07:56 > 0:08:01within months. What the Chinese are trying to do is to help Northern
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Irelandure their own companies to the point where they can effectively
0:08:05 > 0:08:10compete against foreign companies. Ambassador, when he arrived in
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Beijing the press pool reported he didn't come with any specific
0:08:14 > 0:08:17proposals on trade. Does that suggest to you, is it a reflection
0:08:17 > 0:08:21of the way the State Department is run these days, or does it reflect
0:08:21 > 0:08:27he made his mind up on trade long before he went?I don't know exactly
0:08:27 > 0:08:31what is being discussed and what is the topic of discussion by the
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Secretary of State or the Secretary of State of Commercial or even with
0:08:35 > 0:08:39key economic people within the White House. They often times don't want
0:08:39 > 0:08:43to announce things until they actually have it agreed to. So to
0:08:43 > 0:08:47say that the President will be able to do this or that before he goes on
0:08:47 > 0:08:53the trip, if it hasn't been agreed to, then it causes I think
0:08:53 > 0:08:56disappointment and people will view the President as being inle
0:08:56 > 0:09:00effective. I think on a lot of these things they will wait until they
0:09:00 > 0:09:03have something to announce before they even hint at such an
0:09:03 > 0:09:15announcement.Ambassador Locke could to talk to you as always.My
0:09:15 > 0:09:26pleasure.I want to show you this fweet.
0:09:29 > 0:09:36He has a different tone Marco Rubio: He sounds like Donald Trump. What do
0:09:36 > 0:09:41you make of that?On the campaign. Exactly.On the campaign trail, not
0:09:41 > 0:09:47today. What President Trump has learned is a bit like what President
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Bush learned, if you want China to move on an issue of global
0:09:50 > 0:09:54importance to the United States, in President Bush's case it was fight
0:09:54 > 0:09:58against terrorism, then you can't also be bashing them at the same
0:09:58 > 0:10:06time. President Trump rode back from bashig China on human rights. And
0:10:06 > 0:10:10here we have North Korea. The question is how much he will get on
0:10:10 > 0:10:14North Korea. In the end they are two views are different. The Chinese
0:10:14 > 0:10:18will give a little bit to America. That's why I think, if you look at
0:10:18 > 0:10:21the balance 6 power between these two players at the moment, it's very
0:10:21 > 0:10:24hard to come to the conclusion anything other than the fact that
0:10:24 > 0:10:27China came out of this on top. Interesting.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Let us move on to things here in the UK.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Another one out, another one in.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Today, the British Prime Minister replaced her second Cabinet minister
0:10:37 > 0:10:38in little over a week.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Penny Mordaunt, a Royal Navy reservist and the former Work
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and Pensions Minister, will become the new International
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Development Secretary.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Like Priti Patel, who she replaces, she also supported the decision
0:10:47 > 0:10:48to leave the European Union.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Which tells you the Prime Minister is still focused on maintaining that
0:10:51 > 0:10:55delicate balance in her Cabinet between Remainers and Brexiteers.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Let's get more on this from our political correspondent,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Iain Watson, who's in Westminster.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Iain, is she the best person on the job or was she the most convenient
0:11:07 > 0:11:11pick given she had voted for Brexit? I guess both things could be true,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15couldn't they, Christian? Certainly Brexit supporting record helped
0:11:15 > 0:11:17because Theresa May is keen to keep that balance given how difficult
0:11:17 > 0:11:23things are at the moment within her Government. She's yet to pass the
0:11:23 > 0:11:25major legislation to bring Britain out of the European Union. Penny
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Mordaunt is a friend of Priti Patel who was of course sacked, or had
0:11:30 > 0:11:34resigned, in the wake of the controversy over her unauthorised
0:11:34 > 0:11:43meetings in Israel. So they are very alike in terms of their outlook on
0:11:43 > 0:11:46yebgsity. That will be important to Theresa May as well as the gender
0:11:46 > 0:11:52balance. When Michael Fallon's replacement was announced. The
0:11:52 > 0:11:57former Chief Whip, the speculation was that she would get that job. She
0:11:57 > 0:12:07was a Royal Navy Reservist and she comes from a military background.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10That was the suspicion at the time she did ministerial jobs outside the
0:12:10 > 0:12:17Cabinet it felt she was ready for a move up in any case. She had
0:12:17 > 0:12:25experience of working in Eastern Europe as an aid worker. Worked in
0:12:25 > 0:12:28orphanages in Romania, she has a background in international
0:12:28 > 0:12:31development as well. She was knocking at the door of the Cabinet
0:12:31 > 0:12:35she moved in this week partly because of her ministerial
0:12:35 > 0:12:39experience, partly also because it's not going to upset the Brexiteers in
0:12:39 > 0:12:41the Cabinet who will feel that Theresa May is trying to pull a fast
0:12:41 > 0:12:46one.This particular crisis is over, I'm sure Downing Street is happy to
0:12:46 > 0:12:59draw a line under it. It's been a wiet quite a week. Is the Prime
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Minister plain sailing now?I think chaos is the new normal at
0:13:03 > 0:13:11Westminster. It's difficult to predict. We can see a few clouds on
0:13:11 > 0:13:20the horizon for Theresa May. There is pressure on Boris Johnson over
0:13:20 > 0:13:22comments made regarding Iran. Some suggesting he would have stepped
0:13:22 > 0:13:27aside had things not been so chaotic in the first place for Theresa May.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Criticism will follow. Secondly, two of her ministers are facing internal
0:13:32 > 0:13:39inquiries, one of the most senior figures in Government, effectively
0:13:39 > 0:13:44her deputy, Damian Green, the First Secretary of State. He is being
0:13:44 > 0:13:48investigated and another minister, Mark Garnier as well. In addition we
0:13:48 > 0:13:53have the controversy over some of the sexual harassment stories which
0:13:53 > 0:13:57are again - I will not predict where they are coming from. In terms of
0:13:57 > 0:14:01what has already happened it's perfectly possible she might lose
0:14:01 > 0:14:06some of her own MPs with a majority which is only really there by dint
0:14:06 > 0:14:14of an arrangement with the democratic unionists they doesn't
0:14:14 > 0:14:19want a by-election.This is the moment when someone rises to the
0:14:19 > 0:14:26great office of state where people going into their background. Three
0:14:26 > 0:14:32years ago she was a reality diving programme on ITV, here in the UK. So
0:14:32 > 0:14:44take a look at this. I'm no diving expert, but that looked a bit flat
0:14:44 > 0:14:50and a bit sore.Very painful. I used to do high diving, you don't want to
0:14:50 > 0:14:54enter the water like that, let me tell You.OK.Good for her for
0:14:54 > 0:14:59trying, her poor back. Sglp I will use The Met foreand say, I don't
0:14:59 > 0:15:05think she will fall flat in the job she will enter seamlessly... No.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Terrible. Let us move on quickly before Christian embarrasses himself
0:15:10 > 0:15:13any further.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We started the week in Virginia, a crucial governor's election.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And despite suggestions in some polls the Democrat candidate
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Ralph Northam might be defeated, he romped home.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24And in the vote for the State Parliament,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26the Democrats flipped more seats from the Republicans
0:15:26 > 0:15:28than they had in 100 years.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29It was vital the Democrats avoided defeat.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31But the election was interpreted in many quarters
0:15:31 > 0:15:33as a referendum on Donald Trump.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Today I met the outgoing governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Is this a turning point for his party or does the size
0:15:38 > 0:15:40of the victory mask some of the deeper problems
0:15:40 > 0:15:42the Democrats are facing?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I think it was both.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I think it was an affirmation of the four years that
0:15:46 > 0:15:51we've had in Virginia.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The day I became governor, unemployment was 5.4.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57We've gotten it all the way down to 3.7, the second lowest of any
0:15:57 > 0:15:58major state in America.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think, on the other side of it, was the really
0:16:00 > 0:16:01dislike of Donald Trump.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04He's at about a 31% approval rating in Virgina.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07So I think it was an affirmation, they were happy with
0:16:07 > 0:16:08the last four years.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11If we had not done a good job the last four years,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13my lieutenant governor, I don't care anything about Trump,
0:16:13 > 0:16:14we would not have won.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17But it doesn't mask the deeper problems within the party.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I mean, if you look at just the numbers for a second.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Only 28% of House Democrats comes from states that don't touch
0:16:22 > 0:16:28the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30The party's over $3 million in the red, you're being overspent
0:16:30 > 0:16:33two to one, that is really going to hurt when it
0:16:33 > 0:16:35comes to the midterms or the 2020 elections?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well, I'm hoping, and I think you saw this with Virgina,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42this is what got the Democrats off the map, back in the game.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Democrats really looking to us to win, and we did win.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45We won a resounding victory.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47All three state wides we won.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51So I think what they saw Tuesday night,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and what I try to tell Democrats is - you've got
0:16:53 > 0:16:55to run on the economy.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You've got to focus on jobs and really those
0:16:57 > 0:16:58kitchen table issues.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You've got to fight for your value system.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Joe Biden said you didn't focus on any of that in 2016.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06He said, "it's the single campaign where
0:17:06 > 0:17:08we didn't talk about the middle-classes."
0:17:08 > 0:17:14Yeah, I disagree with the Vice-President.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I mean, obviously, I've been close to Hillary
0:17:16 > 0:17:22Clinton for 40 years.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24She talked about the economy every single day.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26But you're right, it didn't come through that you were talking about
0:17:27 > 0:17:28the economy every day.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29I do think 24/7.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Jobs, jobs, jobs.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31That's what people want.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We got to get away from this is it Sanders, is it Clinton?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36You know, people say to me every day -
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You know, people say to me every day - who is the leader
0:17:39 > 0:17:40of the Democratic Party?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I mean, the leader is the grass-roots.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I mean, the grass-roots won our election for us
0:17:44 > 0:17:50on Tuesday.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Republicans come up to me every day and say - you know, I
0:17:53 > 0:17:56didn't vote for you governor, but I'd do it if you ran again.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57They're just happy.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58They're happy with the results.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Maybe your the guy for the job?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well, I'm governor now, yeah, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Well, maybe you're the guy for top job.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Well, we'll see.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Let me finish here strong.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Would you like to do it?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, I never foreclose any option, but
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm really focused Christian on January 13th I'm going to run
0:18:12 > 0:18:13through the (inaudible).
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You're on the way to the UN climate change
0:18:15 > 0:18:16conference.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17This week Syria signed up.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Christian, this is embarrassing for America.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I'm governor of a state, I've the Hampton Roads
0:18:24 > 0:18:25region, we call it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's got the largest naval base in the world.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30This area is the second most vulnerable area in America outside
0:18:30 > 0:18:31of New Orleans, it's Hampton Roads, Virgina.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I've reports on my desk that with the sea level rise, if it
0:18:34 > 0:18:38continues at the present pace, we're going to wipe out about $90 billion
0:18:38 > 0:18:40worth of real estate and infrastructure in Hampton Roads,
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Virgina.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42show that we're serious about it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So we're going to do it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47We're at the year point of this presidency.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49How would you sum it up?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50An embarrassment for our country.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I mean I've been very vocal and I've tried to work with the
0:18:53 > 0:18:54President.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I mean, I've had several conversations with him on
0:18:56 > 0:18:59healthcare, but I can tell you, as a governor,
0:18:59 > 0:19:00he wrecked havoc, his
0:19:00 > 0:19:01travel ban, his immigration policy.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02His healthcare, what he's done on healthcare.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm going to see a 53% premium increase in our plans in
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Virgina because of the chaos that he's created on healthcare.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09The man is clueless about running this
0:19:09 > 0:19:14government and it's sad.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I told the President right to his face, I said,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19you know, Mr President you ran on getting everybody quality
0:19:19 > 0:19:22healthcare, you'd make it cheaper and it would be a better service.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23You have done nothing.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We don't have an infrastructure bill.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28The tax bill that he's promoting with add 1.5
0:19:28 > 0:19:29trillion to our debt.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30It will hurt the middle-class.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31He's not up to the job.
0:19:31 > 0:19:41I travel.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I think I'm the most travelled governor
0:19:49 > 0:19:50in America.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53This is my 35th trade mission, I know Christian, I got back from
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Japan, I've been to Mexico this year.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Every where I go we have to spend the first 30 minutes of
0:19:58 > 0:19:59meetings now trying to explain our President.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You know, we got a situation in North Korea, he comes
0:20:02 > 0:20:05out last month and says - well, we should probably end
0:20:05 > 0:20:06the South Korea trade agreement.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Why would you do that to the South Koreans when we
0:20:08 > 0:20:11need them now more than ever as a we're dealing with
0:20:11 > 0:20:12the North Korean situation?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14He talks about Nafta the millions of jobs
0:20:14 > 0:20:15that have been created.
0:20:15 > 0:20:1740er p of every product that comes into
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Mexico, guess where it was made?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It was made in America.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I just wish the guy would focus on creating jobs.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23He's spending too much time tweeting.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I said he's like the crazy uncle up attic.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27You just don't know what's going on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You get out of bed and a new crazy thing he's teeted up.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33-- tweeted up.The people he needs, he's calling them names all day on
0:20:33 > 0:20:37the other hand his Twitter account. It's bizarre. How do I sum it up -
0:20:37 > 0:20:44bizarre.Not a big fanfare, you wouldn't be surprised to hear of
0:20:44 > 0:20:51Better Together -- fan. He's on his way to Bonn and 30 states are being
0:20:51 > 0:20:56represented at the Climate Change Conference in Bonn this week. Donald
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Trump is pulling the country away from the Paris agreement the states
0:21:02 > 0:21:05are doing more than they ordinarily would? A lot of energy from states
0:21:05 > 0:21:10and cities. You will get Mayors going to that conference. It's been
0:21:10 > 0:21:16true for a while that the States and cities are in the forefront of
0:21:16 > 0:21:20climate change activity. In America they are trying to cut down on
0:21:20 > 0:21:23pollution and commute times, for example, to cut down on greenhouse
0:21:23 > 0:21:26gases, that kind of thing. It will be very interesting that the
0:21:26 > 0:21:30President is not there and you are represented by the Mayors they say
0:21:30 > 0:21:33that will save America's emissions record and they are doing the work
0:21:33 > 0:21:37that the President has pulled back from. OK. Let's look at some of the
0:21:37 > 0:21:41days other news.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43The former speaker of the Catalan parliament is appearing
0:21:43 > 0:21:46at Spain's Supreme Court over her role in the region's
0:21:46 > 0:21:49push for independence.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Judges may decide to remand Carme Forcadell and five former
0:21:51 > 0:21:53lawmakers in custody on charges of sedition, rebellion
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and misuse of public funds.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05has warned his opposite number David Davis,
0:22:05 > 0:22:06that the UK has a maximum
0:22:06 > 0:22:09of four weeks to find solutions to the outstanding divorce issues.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The sixth round of Brexit talks is getting
0:22:11 > 0:22:12under way in Brussels.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14A major stumbling block remains the amount the UK will pay
0:22:14 > 0:22:15for leaving the union.
0:22:15 > 0:22:22The EU will decide in December whether enough has been achieved
0:22:22 > 0:22:24to move onto the next phase, the discussions on the
0:22:24 > 0:22:27future relationship.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33We are at critical phase in these negotiations. We are exactly halfway
0:22:33 > 0:22:36between the referendum and D-Day on leaving the European Union. What did
0:22:36 > 0:22:45you say the number was?It's 505 the magic number.505. I will assume if
0:22:45 > 0:22:48we're halfway through that would mean we are halfway through the
0:22:48 > 0:22:51negotiation progress, right. We have made half the progress we need to
0:22:51 > 0:22:56make?Depends who you ask. If you ask David Davis he might agree.
0:22:56 > 0:23:04Plenty others would say - you must be joking. Our Europe editor
0:23:04 > 0:23:10comments online said, "we don't know what to call this meetings, a
0:23:10 > 0:23:14negotiating round, a stocktaking exercise or an information exercise.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18She went for dancing around a stalemate." The money is the key
0:23:18 > 0:23:22issue. The Europeans want the to see the colour of the money. The UK are
0:23:22 > 0:23:25saying what will we get for our money. Tell us what is coming round
0:23:25 > 0:23:30the corner.You have been telling me for the past nine months that those
0:23:30 > 0:23:34are the stumbling blocks. At which point do we get over those and start
0:23:34 > 0:23:37negotiations?I don't think there is a number in mind. It's about the
0:23:37 > 0:23:45calculation. It's about calculating what we owe for commitments made.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50And the things in the future the pension pot. Britain are saying, we
0:23:50 > 0:23:57piled loads of money into X, Y and Z does that disappear? It's a
0:23:57 > 0:24:01complicated negotiation make no mistake.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Fans of Science-Fiction TV shows will doubtless be aware
0:24:04 > 0:24:08that the new Dr Who will, for the first time, be a woman.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Jodie Whittaker takes over the role from Christmas.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18And this is what she will look like when she plays the Time Lord.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19It's the first official photograph of Jodie
0:24:19 > 0:24:21in her new costume - the sharper-eyed among
0:24:21 > 0:24:24you will notice it's a little different to the zip-up hoodie,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26long coat and boots she wore when she was first
0:24:26 > 0:24:31introduced in a video trailer earlier this year.
0:24:31 > 0:24:42Two conversation about The Dr and the Time Lord. Are you fan. I told
0:24:42 > 0:24:48our editor who my favourite is and so did you. If I show you mine, will
0:24:48 > 0:24:56you show me yours? This is mine. Tom Bake.Yeah. My second favourite.
0:24:56 > 0:25:08That was my second choice. Here's my favourite, Christian.
0:25:09 > 0:25:16John, Pertwee. When I was living in the UK as a little girt, Jon Pertwee
0:25:16 > 0:25:23was Doctor Who. You have to remain tloil your first doctor.Tom Baker
0:25:23 > 0:25:32said, what is the tribe in London and he said - Cockneys!We should
0:25:32 > 0:25:39have had your face super imposed. Yes. It's the scarf.
0:25:39 > 0:25:49This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel
0:25:54 > 0:25:59and BBC World News - Emmanual Macron marks six months
0:25:59 > 0:26:04as President of France, so what has he achieved?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06And when K-pop pips politics -
0:26:06 > 0:26:10the First Lady is upstaged at an event in South Korea -
0:26:10 > 0:26:12though Melania did see the funny side?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13That's still to come.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16That's still to come.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Today started off cloudy in the south-east, the skies broke and
0:26:19 > 0:26:23there was sunshine. Across the north of Scotland a blustery day. There
0:26:23 > 0:26:26have been showers aplenty here. That is how it will continue through the
0:26:26 > 0:26:30evening and overnight as well. Elsewhere we will drag a band of
0:26:30 > 0:26:40cloud and rain tied in with weather fronts across Northern Ireland,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44north and western parts of England and Wales too. When you think about
0:26:44 > 0:26:48stepping out of the door for the commute or the school run, that's
0:26:48 > 0:26:54when you'll find the thickest of the cloud to the southern counties and a
0:26:54 > 0:27:01spot of rain. That is how it was on Thursday. The cloud not as
0:27:01 > 0:27:05extensive. It will get out of the way sharpish during the course of
0:27:05 > 0:27:10the morning. It will be a sunshine and showers regime. Showers rattling
0:27:10 > 0:27:14through Northern Ireland and a good part of northern and western
0:27:14 > 0:27:21Scotland too by a noticeable west north-westerly wind. The rest of the
0:27:21 > 0:27:25day, there goes the cloud from the southern counties. A mixture of
0:27:25 > 0:27:31sunny spells and showers. Plenty of them across Scotland and Northern
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Ireland too. Temperatures still in double figures across the southern
0:27:34 > 0:27:38half of Britain. Further north a decidedly fresher feel despite the
0:27:38 > 0:27:42presence of the sunshine that wind will put an edge on the feel of the
0:27:42 > 0:27:47day. The front is not quite done with us. It waves back to bring
0:27:47 > 0:27:51cloud and rain across a good part of England and Wales as we get on into
0:27:51 > 0:27:56the first part of Saturday Armistice Day, of course, it will take a time
0:27:56 > 0:28:01before the cloud pulls away from parts of the Midlands. I would have
0:28:01 > 0:28:03thought eastern and north-eastern parts of the British Isles fairing
0:28:03 > 0:28:08best. On the cool side here. Further south, still got some relatively
0:28:08 > 0:28:13mild air, 13 or 14 degrees. That is elbowed aside as we get out of
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Saturday into Sunday. This plunge of cold air works right down and across
0:28:17 > 0:28:22the whole of the British Isles. Remembrance Sunday of course. A
0:28:22 > 0:28:26scattering of showers around about the coast of the British Isles, down
0:28:26 > 0:28:31the spine, fine, dry, but pretty chilly.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09This is Beyond 100 Days.
0:30:09 > 0:30:17The headlines:
0:30:17 > 0:30:20On his visit to China, President Trump urges Xi Jinping to work
0:30:20 > 0:30:25harder to solve problems with North Korea, saying time is running out.
0:30:25 > 0:30:31After a chaotic 24 hours in British politics, Penny Mordaunt becomes the
0:30:31 > 0:30:35new International Development Secretary. And coming up in the next
0:30:35 > 0:30:39half-hour is this, President Macron?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Who in their right mind would take on a monster wave like this? One
0:30:47 > 0:30:52surfer did and he only just lived to tell the tale. You can send us your
0:30:52 > 0:30:55thoughts, the hashtag is...
0:31:06 > 0:31:09The Washington Post reports that a woman alleges she was sexually
0:31:09 > 0:31:13abused as a 14-year-old by Roy Moore, the current public and
0:31:13 > 0:31:18candidate for an Alabama Senate seat. The incident is said to have
0:31:18 > 0:31:23happened in 1979 when Mr Moore was 32 years old, in response he has
0:31:23 > 0:31:26categorically denied the charges, calling them fake news. The Senate
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has just said that if these allegations
0:31:30 > 0:31:34are true, Mr Moore must step aside. With me now is our political analyst
0:31:34 > 0:31:40Ron Christie. Mr Moore denying these allegations but I'm interested to
0:31:40 > 0:31:43see that about five or six Republicans have already weighed in
0:31:43 > 0:31:49and said if there is any truth to this, Mr Moore would have to go.I
0:31:49 > 0:31:53agree 100%, these are very serious allegations. I understand the judge
0:31:53 > 0:31:56has said he categorically denies them but the voters of Alabama
0:31:56 > 0:32:01deserve to know whether or not there is any merit to this, and from a
0:32:01 > 0:32:04political standpoint, given how bad week it's been for Republicans just
0:32:04 > 0:32:07this past Tuesday in Virginia. This would sure change the dynamic
0:32:07 > 0:32:12things.We will carry on watching that story and see where it
0:32:12 > 0:32:17develops, and there is any reporting on that. Stay with us, because we
0:32:17 > 0:32:20will talk to you in just a moment, Ron.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The French president Emmanuel Macron has made quite a splash in his first
0:32:23 > 0:32:28six months in office. Not yet 40, he has really invigorated the role of
0:32:28 > 0:32:31the president, and perhaps in turn the role his country is playing on
0:32:31 > 0:32:38the world stage. This week he's been in the Middle East, opening the new
0:32:38 > 0:32:45Louvre in Abu Dhabi. It marks the first six months in office, and he
0:32:45 > 0:32:49is doing a series of interviews, including one with Time magazine
0:32:49 > 0:32:54from the Elysee Paris, he took up Francis feature, the European
0:32:54 > 0:32:56identity crisis, his own marriage and his relationship with President
0:32:56 > 0:33:04Trump.I have a very strong relationship with not just the US
0:33:04 > 0:33:07the President Trump, security, counterterrorism, lots of topics. I
0:33:07 > 0:33:10do believe we have a very good personal relationship, he came here
0:33:10 > 0:33:15for the 14th of July, we had a very good discussion. We have some
0:33:15 > 0:33:22disagreements.President Macron spoke with time's editor in chief
0:33:22 > 0:33:28Lee joins us from New York. Lovely to see you. I'm intrigued, not
0:33:28 > 0:33:31interested in politics for a second, tell me about the man. He is
0:33:31 > 0:33:39sometimes accused of quite arrogant, is he? Did you find him engaging?He
0:33:39 > 0:33:44is engaging, intense, he is determined, I think the determined
0:33:44 > 0:33:49strand comes through in many of the topics you just listed, from his
0:33:49 > 0:33:53determination to marry his wife to his determination to pull off this
0:33:53 > 0:33:56surprise victory in the determination with which he is
0:33:56 > 0:34:02pursuing change in the EU. All the traits, that was clearest.The
0:34:02 > 0:34:05pictures I have seen, he has put you in a particular setting, does that
0:34:05 > 0:34:10speak about what he's trying to do with the presidency?Very much.This
0:34:10 > 0:34:16is Vivienne Walt, who is our correspondent, I spent over an hour
0:34:16 > 0:34:22with him at the Elysee Paris two Palace. We were in one of the office
0:34:22 > 0:34:27if he uses in that building, extraordinarily grand, gilded, may
0:34:27 > 0:34:32read, Napoleon's initials monogrammed on the walls. I thought
0:34:32 > 0:34:38it was very, you know, he loves the pageantry of the office. He has been
0:34:38 > 0:34:43clear he wants to restore some of that. I thought it was quite
0:34:43 > 0:34:47telling, on his desk in that office two photographs, only two, his wife
0:34:47 > 0:34:51and evolve. -- his wife and
0:34:57 > 0:35:00you obviously saw some of the charm and his confidence, if you had to
0:35:00 > 0:35:12say what is weak pointsby, what would use it?He is a post who does
0:35:12 > 0:35:17not perceive reality, if you know what I mean. He clearly believes in
0:35:17 > 0:35:25maybe not the impossible, but he has set his sights on goals at every
0:35:25 > 0:35:27level, from the French national level as he tries to overhaul the
0:35:27 > 0:35:30economy to the extraordinarily ambitious agenda he laid out for
0:35:30 > 0:35:38change in the EU. What most people would think is way out of reach. I
0:35:38 > 0:35:40think the big question for him going forward is whether his ideals and
0:35:40 > 0:35:45the real world who works in both across Europe and within France can
0:35:45 > 0:35:51be reconciled.You did not ask him whether he sees himself as the
0:35:51 > 0:35:54leader of the free world, Angela Merkel already seems to have taken
0:35:54 > 0:35:58that spot amongst the commentary at, but you did ask if he himself as the
0:35:58 > 0:36:03leader of Europe and his was interesting.His response was very
0:36:03 > 0:36:08interesting, he said no. He said the classic French response would be
0:36:08 > 0:36:14citing the ball and some others, but he then went on to say the
0:36:14 > 0:36:20leadership had to be multilateral, and he wanted a enhanced role for
0:36:20 > 0:36:27France. Starting with its role as a permanent member of the UN Security
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Council, but he did not think it was healthy for there to be one
0:36:30 > 0:36:37hegemonic power.You did ask him about his wife, there is always
0:36:37 > 0:36:41focus on his personal relationships and where he has come from. But he
0:36:41 > 0:36:45does like talking about it, he has shifted uncomfortably, you said?A
0:36:45 > 0:36:51bit. My colleague asked him not about his wife but at least for a
0:36:51 > 0:36:55start, why he thought his wife was such a focus of interest around the
0:36:55 > 0:37:00world, what did it about his marriage? He did not really quite
0:37:00 > 0:37:08answer that. But it started him in an acknowledging as he called it the
0:37:08 > 0:37:11unconventional nature of the marriage and the obligation he fell
0:37:11 > 0:37:15to the public to explain going in what his marriage was, how it came
0:37:15 > 0:37:19about, he felt he had an obligation not to let the public into the
0:37:19 > 0:37:22intimate details of his marriage, and he did not let us in to those
0:37:22 > 0:37:31intimate details will stop but you did see the dog. We did see the dog,
0:37:31 > 0:37:37a brief visit with Nemo.He didn't P on your camera equipment?He behaved
0:37:37 > 0:37:45himself.Always a pleasure. Thanks for coming in. Interesting you know,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47he talks about Napoleon. I don't know about you, that was the first
0:37:47 > 0:37:51thing that struck me when I saw the time cover. Here is a picture of the
0:37:51 > 0:37:58great man himself, there is Napoleon. Now look at this. This is
0:37:58 > 0:38:04not a mistake. He puts a lot of effort into this. He is looking to
0:38:04 > 0:38:10be the statesman on the world scene, very imperialistic and the way he
0:38:10 > 0:38:13approaches the job. In a way it has worked, this first six months,
0:38:13 > 0:38:18because when I was in Paris, for many years, the Franco German
0:38:18 > 0:38:22partnership, which is the real engine of Europe, it was in balanced
0:38:22 > 0:38:25and kilted one side towards Germany. That's one of the bigger because
0:38:25 > 0:38:29people say Germany is leading and taking us in the direction of them,
0:38:29 > 0:38:33but he has rebalanced that. On his way back from Abu Dhabi he drops in
0:38:33 > 0:38:38in Riyadh to see the crown prince, he is someone who rebels in this
0:38:38 > 0:38:43role of re-establishing not only the presidency but this role of France.
0:38:43 > 0:38:56-- who revels.Funny, you thought of Napoleon when you saw that Time
0:38:56 > 0:39:01cover, I thought of a young American president. It's exactly like, to me,
0:39:01 > 0:39:09JFK. You see a lot of similarities in style. JFK making the White House
0:39:09 > 0:39:11this Camelot, right? Providing the White House and the prestige and
0:39:11 > 0:39:15grandeur. A young leader full of promise as well. Interesting.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33The actor Kevin Spacey is to be edited out of a completed Hollywood
0:39:33 > 0:39:35film, six weeks before its release, following allegations
0:39:35 > 0:39:36of sexual assault.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39He'll be replaced in the thriller 'All The Money In The World'
0:39:39 > 0:39:40by the Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47For an almost unrecognisable Kevin Spacey, it was meant to be a
0:39:48 > 0:39:49potential Academy Awards contender.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52How much would you pay to release your grandson if not $70 million?
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Nothing.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Now, Christopher Plummer is to replace him in an
0:39:55 > 0:39:56intense few weeks.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58of reshoots following sexual assault allegations against Spacey.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It's a huge undertaking, but helped by the
0:40:00 > 0:40:03fact that Kevin Spacey only appears in a relatively small number of
0:40:03 > 0:40:05scenes and other performers are thought to be willing to return to
0:40:05 > 0:40:08reshoot their roles in scenes that originally featured them alongside
0:40:08 > 0:40:12the now sidelined actor.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14The film's director, Sir Ridley Scott, may also
0:40:14 > 0:40:17take advantage of techniques he used when Oliver Reed died during the
0:40:17 > 0:40:24The making of gladiator more than 15 years ago.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27They allowed him to still feature the actor in scenes filmed
0:40:27 > 0:40:35after his death.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Valentina Violo, who appears in the movie says the
0:40:37 > 0:40:40decision to reshoot must have been a complex, difficult one.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I think everything is going a little bit
0:40:42 > 0:40:44crazy right now so probably if they took this
0:40:44 > 0:40:47decision, it is good for the movie.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49It all underlies the determination of the studio to
0:40:49 > 0:40:55protect a piece of work potentially worth a significant amount.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Studios are so intent on their calendar and
0:40:57 > 0:40:59finding their huge product, which are worth
0:40:59 > 0:41:02millions of dollars, so to
0:41:02 > 0:41:05remove them would have cost so much money
0:41:05 > 0:41:10that it would have been a financial disaster to the studio.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Rather than be associated with the name of Kevin Spacey,
0:41:13 > 0:41:23they will do anything to get something over the line.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It's being seen in Hollywood as Ridley Scott's turning what
0:41:25 > 0:41:28would have been damaging publicity for the film into a welcome and
0:41:28 > 0:41:33positive move.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Saudi Arabia has told its citizens to leave Lebanon on immediately amid
0:41:37 > 0:41:41growing tensions, since the Lebanese Prime Minister announced his
0:41:41 > 0:41:45resignation in a video statement from the kingdom. In Lebanon,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49various political factions have called for the return of the Prime
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Minister who many believe was pressured into stepping down. Police
0:41:54 > 0:41:57in Colombia have seized 12 tonnes of cocaine, the largest amount in the
0:41:57 > 0:42:02country's history. It says the drugs belong to the leader of the golf
0:42:02 > 0:42:05clan, all of the most powerful criminal organisations in Colombia.
0:42:05 > 0:42:11The hall has an estimated street value of $360 million. Some
0:42:11 > 0:42:14incredible pictures to share from Portugal now. Waves are known to
0:42:14 > 0:42:19reach heights of 30 metres or more. One British server has had a very
0:42:19 > 0:42:22lucky, albeit very painful escape, trying to tame one of these monster
0:42:22 > 0:42:30waves. Andrew Cotton from Devon suffered a total wipe-out, as you
0:42:30 > 0:42:35can see here. He broke his back as he was involved by the wave. He is
0:42:35 > 0:42:37now recovering in hospital.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It was all going so well.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Andrew Cotton had been waiting for this moment, and here it came.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49The perfect wave, all 60 feet of it, and...
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Wipeout.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Andrew was thrown off his board and crushed by the water.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01This footage captured by a documentary team.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04The 38-year-old from Devon was treated by Portuguese
0:43:04 > 0:43:08rescue teams and found to have a broken spine.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11It was a storm from a long way away and the waves were really...
0:43:11 > 0:43:13This afternoon he spoke to us from his hospital bed
0:43:14 > 0:43:16and described what had happened.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18It was a different sort of wave, really.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22It was a lot heavier and I...
0:43:22 > 0:43:26I sort of just faded a bit deep and sort of mistimed it, really.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Yeah, it was just one of those things.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32It could have been like the best wave of my life or the worst
0:43:32 > 0:43:34wipeout and, unfortunately, it was the worst wipeout.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37This latest wipeout comes three years after Andrew was hit
0:43:37 > 0:43:40by another massive wave off the coast of Portugal.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43He says he's not been put off and wants to be back in the water
0:43:43 > 0:43:46as soon as possible, but will his wife and children
0:43:46 > 0:43:48back in Devon let him?
0:43:48 > 0:43:49Yeah!
0:43:49 > 0:43:50No.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52No, obviously they're concerned and, you know,
0:43:52 > 0:43:56the kids make a joke about it, really, like I've managed
0:43:56 > 0:43:58to make a career out of surfing, like falling off.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01So they think it's hilarious.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Andrew might owe his life to a special vest he was wearing
0:44:04 > 0:44:07over his wetsuit to protect him from impact.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11As a former plumber, he's used to being up to his neck in it,
0:44:11 > 0:44:15but he hopes he'll never get a soaking like this again.
0:44:15 > 0:44:23Jon Kay, BBC News.
0:44:23 > 0:44:29If that was Lawrie, Kristian, what would you tell him?Don't go. Stay.
0:44:29 > 0:44:35Stay on the beach.Aren't you supposed to duck dive underneath
0:44:35 > 0:44:39them? I would have been straight underneath that.I think neither of
0:44:39 > 0:44:43us have any idea what you're meant to do in that circumstance! This is
0:44:43 > 0:44:49Beyond 100 Days. Still to come, and election are baffled pollsters and
0:44:49 > 0:44:52pundits a year on. These women are standing by their president, but
0:44:52 > 0:44:53what would they change?
0:45:00 > 0:45:04Carwyn Jones, the First Minister of Wales has defended his decision to
0:45:04 > 0:45:08sack Carl Sargeant, the government minister facing misconduct
0:45:08 > 0:45:11allegations was found dead on Tuesday. It's believed he took his
0:45:11 > 0:45:14own life. His family say he was denied natural justice because he
0:45:14 > 0:45:18was not given details of the allegations against him. Carwyn
0:45:18 > 0:45:25Jones insists he acted by the book.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Anything to say about Carl Sargeant, first Minster?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29Carwyn Jones was not giving any one thing away leaving
0:45:29 > 0:45:32home this morning, he was going to face fellow Labour assembly
0:45:32 > 0:45:35members for the first time since the death
0:45:35 > 0:45:36of their colleague, Carl Sargeant, who he
0:45:36 > 0:45:38sacked and suspended from the
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Labour Party on Friday, amid claims of harassment.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Facing criticism from Mr Sargeant's family and from within
0:45:43 > 0:45:48his own party, there were questions over Carwyn Jones's position.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50He promised a statement but it wasn't
0:45:50 > 0:45:55the time for him to resign.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57We were all very shocked by what happened last week.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02There is great hurt, anger, and bewilderment.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Carl was my friend, in all of the years that I
0:46:06 > 0:46:11knew him, I never had a crossword with him.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14But he defended his conduct in how he responded to the
0:46:14 > 0:46:19allegations against Carl Sargeant.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Carl Sargeant's body was found at his
0:46:21 > 0:46:22home on Deeside on Tuesday.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Today, a family friend gave an insight into
0:46:24 > 0:46:29what Mr Sargeant and his family had been going through.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Messages were put out to the media, interviews
0:46:31 > 0:46:36were given, where he did not know they were about to happen.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39The additional details will be placed
0:46:39 > 0:46:43into the public domain.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46It is, umm...
0:46:46 > 0:46:49It broke him.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51And Carwyn Jones's statement tonight is
0:46:51 > 0:46:56unlikely to appease Carl Sargeant's family.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10You are watching Beyond 100 Days. This time last year we were talking
0:47:10 > 0:47:13about the billionaire businessman who won the White House in the US
0:47:13 > 0:47:17election none of us will forget. Donald Trump defeated Hillary
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Clinton and confounded his many critics, in particular because he
0:47:20 > 0:47:25won the majority of white women and a third of Hispanic voters. A year
0:47:25 > 0:47:30on, do they feel they back right candidate? The BBC's correspondent
0:47:30 > 0:47:33has returned to Florida to speak to some of the voters she met on the
0:47:33 > 0:47:45campaign trail. Florida, a place Donald Trump calls his second home.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49Round Trump looms large share, but do any voters have remorse? A year
0:47:49 > 0:47:55ago I met three women who supported Mr Trump.I voted for Trump because
0:47:55 > 0:48:02he represented all that I know, I wanted.12 months on, and Sandra
0:48:02 > 0:48:10Wong is still delighted with Donald Trump.He is a great president.A
0:48:10 > 0:48:14military man with a son serving in South Korea, Sandra thinks the
0:48:14 > 0:48:16biggest obstacle for her commander-in-chief is politicians in
0:48:16 > 0:48:21Congress.I don't regret voting for Donald Trump, I'm very happy with my
0:48:21 > 0:48:28choice. I am very pleased that he is keeping his promises, there is a lot
0:48:28 > 0:48:33of battles going on in Congress but we that placed him there, we are
0:48:33 > 0:48:40more angry and more determined to stand with him, to see that what we
0:48:40 > 0:48:48voted for what happens.I think he needed to be smacked, the tapes are
0:48:48 > 0:48:55deplorable, I think he was ignorant in saying things like that.Even the
0:48:55 > 0:48:58this artist was not happy with the language Donald Trump used about
0:48:58 > 0:49:02women on take more than a decade ago, she backed him in the election.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06She still does now, even with the same reservations.I don't like the
0:49:06 > 0:49:11way he talks. I wish she would get off tweeting on Twitter, he's not a
0:49:11 > 0:49:16teenager, a millennial. He could make a total mass of the presidency,
0:49:16 > 0:49:24or he could end up being a real help to the country. I'm going to give
0:49:24 > 0:49:27him a chance, I think a lot of people have not given him a fair
0:49:27 > 0:49:33shot.Trump is really good with money, he understands that. There's
0:49:33 > 0:49:36been so much problems and things Hillary has said and done, she's
0:49:36 > 0:49:43just not trustworthy. I'm not on the Trump train, 100%, no I'm not.The
0:49:43 > 0:49:47many voters like this student, Donald Trump represented the least
0:49:47 > 0:49:49worst candidate. But she has not been pleased with his presidential
0:49:49 > 0:49:58performance. What is your biggest concern about the man you voted for?
0:49:58 > 0:50:02Honestly, America's reputation in the world. I think it's important we
0:50:02 > 0:50:07keep and establish our allies. If he continues to say things, making fun
0:50:07 > 0:50:10of women's face-lifts on live television, we are going to not have
0:50:10 > 0:50:14a very good reputation for the world.But Donald Trump's reputation
0:50:14 > 0:50:19with many who backed him is still strong. They may have concerns about
0:50:19 > 0:50:25his style, but even so, none of these women regret voting for him.
0:50:25 > 0:50:31So, even Mr Trump 's supporters would like him to stop all the
0:50:31 > 0:50:35tweeting, but he does have an ally on that front, Boris Johnson, who in
0:50:35 > 0:50:39America at the moment and has been speaking to Fox and friends.Take a
0:50:39 > 0:50:44listen. You have to realise, the American president is just one of
0:50:44 > 0:50:47the huge, great global brands. He is penetrating corners of the global
0:50:47 > 0:50:51consciousness that I think you other presidents have never done. His
0:50:51 > 0:50:59method of tweeting, early in the morning, no matter how rambunctious
0:50:59 > 0:51:03those tweets may be, they are communicating with people, and yes,
0:51:03 > 0:51:08a lot of people don't like it but a lot of people relate to it.Ron
0:51:08 > 0:51:12Christie is still with us. I will move on from the tweets and ask you,
0:51:12 > 0:51:15it's been a year since President Trump one that amazing election.
0:51:15 > 0:51:21What a surprise to most about his presidency?What surprised me the
0:51:21 > 0:51:24most thus far is the polarisation you see in American politics. It
0:51:24 > 0:51:30seems people either really like him, or they really don't. You do not see
0:51:30 > 0:51:33too many folks who are ambivalent or middle-of-the-road. You are either
0:51:33 > 0:51:37on the Trump train, as we heard in that package, all you are not on the
0:51:37 > 0:51:42Trump train at all.Those divisions have hardened since the election?
0:51:42 > 0:51:46Yes, lots of people have taken their measure of the president and said,
0:51:46 > 0:51:49keep going, keep tweeting, keep being the ball in the China store
0:51:49 > 0:51:54you have people like me you say, goodness gracious Mr President, act
0:51:54 > 0:51:56presidential, recognise the role and the significance of the job you
0:51:56 > 0:52:01hold. All 300 million of us are expecting you to be a better leader.
0:52:01 > 0:52:08Question, you have something for us? A little something?I know Ron
0:52:08 > 0:52:10thought this was a bad week for this establishment Republicans, but we
0:52:10 > 0:52:15are bringing into this programme as a pundit, and some of our viewers
0:52:15 > 0:52:19are taking issues with some of his predictions. Here is a tweet that
0:52:19 > 0:52:20came out this week.
0:52:29 > 0:52:36What are you saying today?I am saying the same thing I have said
0:52:36 > 0:52:39all week. I distinctly remember saying to Katty but I thought he had
0:52:39 > 0:52:45a sliver of a chance of winning... Oh!Being the lawyer and a pundit I
0:52:45 > 0:52:50am, I am not backing down one minute, my friend.LAUGHTERThat's
0:52:50 > 0:52:54what Ron Christie has to say today. It's a sign of how much we love you
0:52:54 > 0:52:59that we're bringing you in to our Twitter family on Beyond 100 Days.I
0:52:59 > 0:53:05will take whatever I can get!In mind of what happened in Virginia,
0:53:05 > 0:53:09seriously, what are Republicans thinking? I would think
0:53:09 > 0:53:11establishment Republicans in swing states do not know what to think
0:53:11 > 0:53:15right now.That's right. The state that is right next to us here in
0:53:15 > 0:53:22Washington, DC is merriment. If I am the governor of merriment Willett
