0:00:09 > 0:00:12More women accuse Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of molesting
0:00:12 > 0:00:15them when they were teenagers.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17But sexual harassment is not partisan.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20A popular Democratic Senator has also just been accused
0:00:20 > 0:00:23of groping a woman.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26As allegations against the Alabama judge mount, Ivanka Trump says
0:00:26 > 0:00:33there's a special place in hell for people who abuse children.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Roy Moore is due to speak shortly.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40We'll take you live to Birmingham when he does.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Back here in Washington, Democratic Senator Al Franken
0:00:42 > 0:00:45is apologising after a woman releases this image of him groping
0:00:45 > 0:00:50her during a trip overseas in 2006.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Still under house arrest, a smiling Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe
0:00:53 > 0:00:58meets the army chief and mediators, but the military remains in control.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Hello and welcome, I'm Katty Kay in Washington
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44One Democratic Senator and one aspiring Republican Senator
0:01:44 > 0:01:47are under fire today over allegations they molested women.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota, has just been forced
0:01:51 > 0:01:53to apologise after a TV reporter accused him of sexually
0:01:53 > 0:01:56harassing her.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The other US politician under pressure over abuse allegations
0:01:59 > 0:02:03is Republican Roy Moore of Alabama.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05New accusations in the press today bring the total number of women,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07who have come forward to eight.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The President still hasn't spoken on the Moore case
0:02:10 > 0:02:13but his daughter has, telling the AP she has no reason
0:02:13 > 0:02:20to doubt the victims' accounts.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23One of the eight victims, Beverley Nelson, produced a school
0:02:23 > 0:02:24yearbook bearing the signature of Roy Moore.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27In fact he had signed it Roy Moore DA.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29But now his lawyer is casting doubt on that signature
0:02:29 > 0:02:31and wants it testing.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We demand that you immediately release the Yearbook to a neutral
0:02:34 > 0:02:38custodian so that our expert, you can send your expert as well
0:02:38 > 0:02:41if you would like to, so that our expert can look at it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Not a copy on the Internet, the actual document so that we can
0:02:44 > 0:02:47see the lettering, we can see the ink on the page,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50we can see the indentations and we can see how old is that ink.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Is it 40 years old or is it a week old?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Release the yearbook so that we can determine is it
0:02:57 > 0:03:02genuine or is it a fraud?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Let's get more on this from our North America correspondent
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Rajini Vaidyanathan.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10She's in Birmingham Alabama.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16The tactic of Roy Moore's lawyer there seems to be to discredit the
0:03:16 > 0:03:20women who have accused him of harassing them when they were
0:03:20 > 0:03:26teenagers, is that right?That is right. Certainly that doesn't fit
0:03:26 > 0:03:31with the reaction that some voters have to these accusations. Even
0:03:31 > 0:03:34before that news conference yesterday and number of Republicans
0:03:34 > 0:03:39that I have spoken to here simply do not believe these allegations, they
0:03:39 > 0:03:43say they want proof. So by discrediting that yearbook signature
0:03:43 > 0:03:47and saying it needs to go for testing and handwriting analysis it
0:03:47 > 0:03:52plays into the idea that these accusations, and more women have now
0:03:52 > 0:03:56come forward since yesterday, it plays into the idea that many people
0:03:56 > 0:04:03have that this is fake news.The women have come forward, we are
0:04:03 > 0:04:08expecting a press conference. I have seen the stage and their IDs big
0:04:08 > 0:04:13signs saying Roy Moore, the Senate, and I expect there are signs he is
0:04:13 > 0:04:17not pulling out of the race.No, this is a gathering of faith leaders
0:04:17 > 0:04:28who are there to endorse Roy Moore and stand-by site beside him. They
0:04:28 > 0:04:33said they are confident the voters of Alabama will not be fooled by
0:04:33 > 0:04:39suspiciously timed allegations and says he is the right man for this
0:04:39 > 0:04:44state because of his position on things like abortion. Yesterday I
0:04:44 > 0:04:47was in Montgomery talking to Republican voters who
0:04:47 > 0:04:52across-the-board said they stand-by Roy Moore. Here in Birmingham we
0:04:52 > 0:04:57talked to some Republican voters who actually believe he should step
0:04:57 > 0:05:00aside and they are now torn as to whether they would vote for
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Democrats in this race if he does not step aside, or whether they
0:05:03 > 0:05:09would just stay away from the ballot box.We talked about how tribal
0:05:09 > 0:05:14American politics is at the moment, but when you look at this case, it
0:05:14 > 0:05:18is not about party, not necessarily about the individual, it is about
0:05:18 > 0:05:22the voters of Alabama versus the establishment in Washington.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Absolutely, that is what it comes down to. A lot of people I have
0:05:28 > 0:05:31spoken to in Alabama say people in Alabama do not like being told what
0:05:31 > 0:05:38to do. Roy Moore is a very bombastic, controversial figure. He
0:05:38 > 0:05:43is anti-gay, Andy Islam, you does not believe in evolution. But they
0:05:43 > 0:05:46are conservative, evangelical view is that many people here who support
0:05:46 > 0:05:52him believe are being eroded. They are railing against the Washington
0:05:52 > 0:06:03elite. Roy Moore seems to treat almost as much as Donald Trump. He
0:06:03 > 0:06:06says the Washington elite are out to get him. He has been sending a lot
0:06:06 > 0:06:08of messages to Mitch McConnell, a senior Republican in the Senate. He
0:06:08 > 0:06:11does not want people in the establishment to get involved in
0:06:11 > 0:06:15what he says is a different way of life here. That is what it comes
0:06:15 > 0:06:21down to. Roy Moore is determined to stay in this race and those who
0:06:21 > 0:06:24support him say it is because we do not want to be told by the
0:06:24 > 0:06:29establishment that he should go. Democrats are picking up steam and
0:06:29 > 0:06:36Doug Jones is making some lead in the polls now.Thank you, we will
0:06:36 > 0:06:39keep an eye on that press conference for you when and if Roy Moore starts
0:06:39 > 0:06:45speaking. We will bring you what he has to say. Talking of people
0:06:45 > 0:06:45behaving badly...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Talking of people behaving badly...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The other US politician facing criticism is Al Franken,
0:06:49 > 0:06:50the former comedian turned Democratic Senator for
0:06:50 > 0:06:51the state of Minnesota.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55He's been accused by Leanne Tweeden a TV reporter of groping in 2006
0:06:55 > 0:06:59while they were travelling abroad to visit US troops.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02During that official trip, Ms Tweeden says Mr Franken forced
0:07:02 > 0:07:05a kiss on her during a performance of a skit for the soldiers.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09She also released this photo taken during one of their flights and it
0:07:09 > 0:07:12pretty much speaks for itself.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14The Senator has just released a statement
0:07:14 > 0:07:18apologising for his behaviour.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22And he has been referred to the Senate Ethics Committee.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Our political analyst Ron Christie, who worked
0:07:25 > 0:07:34in the George W Bush White House, is in the studio with me.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Ron, how many people are there sitting on Capitol Hill today
0:07:37 > 0:07:42thinking to themselves I am feeling nervous?Probably about 200. I
0:07:42 > 0:07:47worked on Capitol Hill for about eight years and I referred to it as
0:07:47 > 0:07:51the last plantation. There were things pretty much that you could do
0:07:51 > 0:07:55if you wanted to do. They do not have sexual harassment laws in
0:07:55 > 0:08:01place. All the laws that apply to any American citizen do not apply to
0:08:01 > 0:08:07those representatives and senators. I would put it at over 100 certainly
0:08:07 > 0:08:12who are very nervous and consulting lawyers right now.Al Franken has
0:08:12 > 0:08:16come out with a statement saying he respects women and women should come
0:08:16 > 0:08:21forward with these stories and he is very sorry for his behaviour. Can he
0:08:21 > 0:08:30survive this given that photograph? Not a chance. You look at the
0:08:30 > 0:08:35statement about this. The Democrats do not want a Roy Moore type problem
0:08:35 > 0:08:40on their hands. The Democratic governor says that if he should be
0:08:40 > 0:08:46stepped down and forced out, they can replace him. But there is no way
0:08:46 > 0:08:53this current wave of allegations will mean that he survives.When we
0:08:53 > 0:08:58talk about the President's legislative programme, and he wants
0:08:58 > 0:09:04to get it done by Christmas, how does the Alabama race fit into this?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Very strongly. Good day to you. I was talking to two Republican
0:09:08 > 0:09:15members of Congress who headed over to meet with the present when the Al
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Franken situation evolved. They are very nervous. They said why is the
0:09:19 > 0:09:24president coming to Capitol Hill to meet with us? Why does he not have
0:09:24 > 0:09:28the votes? The reason is he has not been very hands on in this tax
0:09:28 > 0:09:32reform process and the Senate bill is drastically different from the
0:09:32 > 0:09:36House, but they need to move it out of the House to go to a conference
0:09:36 > 0:09:41committee to reconcile the bills from the two chambers. I think it
0:09:41 > 0:09:44will be very close for them to find a way to get to Christmas and have
0:09:44 > 0:09:50built on the President's desk for him to sign.If Doug Jones snatches
0:09:50 > 0:09:55the seed and the Democrats take it, we are then talking 49-51 in the
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Senate. We know there are people in the Senate, Len Johnson is one of
0:10:01 > 0:10:05them and Susan Collins is another, who does not like the tax reform
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Bill, could it come down to that seek whether or not he gets his
0:10:10 > 0:10:15legislative programme through?I think so. The vice president of the
0:10:15 > 0:10:20United States is in a position to cast a tie-breaking vote.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Republicans do not have a vote to spare. The best political outcome
0:10:25 > 0:10:28for the Republicans is for Doug Jones to win this race because we do
0:10:28 > 0:10:32not have to deal with expelling him for having the terrible circumstance
0:10:32 > 0:10:38of having him in the Senate. Johnny Isaacson from Georgia has indicated
0:10:38 > 0:10:43he wants to support this package. I believe the seat in Alabama vacated
0:10:43 > 0:10:53by Jeff sessions is really important and right now it is too close to say
0:10:53 > 0:11:00who will come out on top in this Bill?I thought it was interesting
0:11:00 > 0:11:04asking how many members might feel nervous and he mentioned the number
0:11:04 > 0:11:09200 and he was not joking. There is a widespread problem on Capitol Hill
0:11:09 > 0:11:15with this issue. We booked Ron to come onto this programme to talk
0:11:15 > 0:11:19uniquely about tax reform. During the course of the morning we heard
0:11:19 > 0:11:23more people coming out with allegations against Roy mover and we
0:11:23 > 0:11:28had the story about Al Franken. When this happens it derails the news
0:11:28 > 0:11:32agenda and that affects members and how they vote and the President's
0:11:32 > 0:11:38legislative capabilities.People might be saying why are you focusing
0:11:38 > 0:11:43on a Senate race in Alabama? Why does it matter? It matters because
0:11:43 > 0:11:47this could undermine the President's legislative programme. If the
0:11:47 > 0:11:51numbers look dodgy for the president, Alabama becomes
0:11:51 > 0:11:57important. The other thing is that people will think, hey, this looks
0:11:57 > 0:12:02like what is going on at the House of Commons. Some come forward and
0:12:02 > 0:12:06then one or two MPs are in the dock and three or four Moore and suddenly
0:12:06 > 0:12:11there is an avalanche of these cases and that derails what governments
0:12:11 > 0:12:15what to do. There is a very similar thing between the two parliaments
0:12:15 > 0:12:22going on at the moment and it will be very interesting to watch.Both
0:12:22 > 0:12:23sides of the Atlantic, people behaving not very well.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Both sides of the Atlantic, people behaving not very well.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There is an enormous sense of anticipation in Zimbabwe,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30but still precious little news on what might happen next.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Robert Mugabe remains under house arrest.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35We have seen pictures of him today in a meeting.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It is reported he is resisting pressure to step down.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41But it seems pretty clear by now, the generals don't much care
0:12:41 > 0:12:43for Mr Mugabe's chosen successor, his wife, Grace, whose
0:12:43 > 0:12:46whereabouts are unclear.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50South Africa has sent government ministers to Harare for crisis talks
0:12:50 > 0:12:53with both Mr Mugabe and the military leaders who are in charge.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58From Harare, the BBC's Shingai Nyoka reports.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It looks like normal life.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05The daily commute to work, children going to school.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08But look more closely.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Tanks on street corners, and what you can't see
0:13:12 > 0:13:15behind closed doors, delicate and intense horse
0:13:15 > 0:13:19trading over Zimbabwe's future is taking place.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And here is the evidence - the first images of Robert Mugabe
0:13:21 > 0:13:25since he was placed under house arrest.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It has to be said that the 93-year-old still looks in charge.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33One of the people in the shot is an envoy from South Africa,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and here he is with the general who many believe
0:13:36 > 0:13:39ordered the takeover.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Loyalty has been a tradable commodity within ZANU-PF for many
0:13:42 > 0:13:48years, and in these uncertain times, that loyalty is shifting rapidly.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Representatives from neighbouring African states have arrived
0:13:51 > 0:13:54in Zimbabwe to facilitate a deal that could determine whether
0:13:54 > 0:13:58President Mugabe stays or leaves.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Robert Mugabe's power is ebbing away.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04There will be no change unless he resigns or agrees
0:14:04 > 0:14:07to a handover plan.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Although the Army has set things going, ZANU-PF,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14the party Mugabe created, might force him out.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Mugabe's former deputy, believed to be behind it,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21has several cards he could play.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27He has the support of the war veterans, the influential group
0:14:27 > 0:14:30who kept Mugabe in power who now appear to have turned against him.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The other power groups that will be key in any negotiations
0:14:33 > 0:14:37are the party's youth and women's league.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42The military want to ensure that his departure is done by the book.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Mr Mugabe needs to be persuaded to resign.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47That is the obvious route to take.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50If one starts taking the impeachment route,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54the ill-health route and trying to get the Parliamentary vote,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57this could be a long and protracted process and the outcome
0:14:57 > 0:15:00could be uncertain.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03That would mean that the military needs to remain in control over that
0:15:03 > 0:15:06period, and then we have an extended period of unconstitutionality, which
0:15:06 > 0:15:09is obviously highly undesirable.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Zimbabwe is once again at the centre of regional crisis talks.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17People I talked to in Harare want a speedy resolution.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18We don't have many ways about it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Mugabe must go.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21That is the only way.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Mugabe should step down.
0:15:24 > 0:15:33He is supposed to step down.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35This is the first step.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36This is the first step.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38As negotiations continue, a nation waits.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Mugabe maybe 93 years old, but he is still a shrewd,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44sharp and some would say cunning negotiator.
0:15:44 > 0:15:51The ultimate comeback kid.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01He has not been in power for 37 years for no reason. He is a master
0:16:01 > 0:16:01tactician.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04He is a master tactician.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07The UK Brexit secretary David Davis was in Berlin today to speak
0:16:07 > 0:16:08to German business leaders.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yesterday, a close ally of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel
0:16:10 > 0:16:13said he was "more optimistic" about the prospects of a UK-EU deal
0:16:13 > 0:16:15after a meeting with Theresa May.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Berlin's concern about a no deal scenario has been heightened
0:16:17 > 0:16:19by a Deloitte report, published over the summer,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21which suggests a hard exit would hurt German car manufacturers.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24About a fifth of all cars produced in Germany last year
0:16:24 > 0:16:28were exported to the UK If there were no deal.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29were exported to the UK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32If there were no deal.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Deloitte estimates that revenue from sales of German cars in the UK
0:16:35 > 0:16:37could fall by E12.4bn - that's a drop of about 18%.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It also expects that in the year of withdrawal,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43German car exports to the UK would fall by 255,000 units -
0:16:43 > 0:16:46a decline of almost a third.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And then there's this sobering forecast from Deloitte -
0:16:49 > 0:16:52all of that would mean that 18,000 jobs in the German car industry
0:16:52 > 0:16:55would be put at risk.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58We can speak to Volker Treier, the number two at the German chamber
0:16:58 > 0:17:01of commerce and industry.
0:17:01 > 0:17:08Good evening. Our German businesses starting to worry about the no deal
0:17:08 > 0:17:15scenario?Absolutely. We are worrying about the exit negotiations
0:17:15 > 0:17:23going on in Brussels and our concern is that we are heading to and no
0:17:23 > 0:17:31deal scenario. But our major concern is that the integrity of the single
0:17:31 > 0:17:40market is going to be threatened if we had a deal which put the UK in a
0:17:40 > 0:17:47position where they are better off and like an avenue of pick and
0:17:47 > 0:17:50choose and other EU members would follow it. There are two concerns
0:17:50 > 0:17:57right now.Some of those concerns would be answered by a future
0:17:57 > 0:18:01negotiation, and negotiation about the future trading relationship.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Michel Barnier says nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Would it not be better to get on with that discussion about the
0:18:08 > 0:18:13future and put the cash to one side? It will all come out in the wash
0:18:13 > 0:18:19anyway.But the clock is ticking down and that is for sure. The
0:18:19 > 0:18:27greater the risk of a no deal scenario that means that both sides
0:18:27 > 0:18:34have to be very much clearer on their position and maybe have to
0:18:34 > 0:18:38head for compromises and concessions. But that does not only
0:18:38 > 0:18:44mean for the side of the European Commission, but also from the UK's
0:18:44 > 0:18:48position we need more clarity and we need an idea of what they are
0:18:48 > 0:18:55heading for after hopefully a transitional period. What kind of
0:18:55 > 0:19:02trade relations do they want to have after all?If Deloitte is right and
0:19:02 > 0:19:07there would be a pretty devastating impact on the German car industry
0:19:07 > 0:19:11and on other German industries as well if there is indeed no deal,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15does that mean that you and your colleagues are actively talking to
0:19:15 > 0:19:18the German government to try to persuade them to come up with a
0:19:18 > 0:19:26better deal, one that the UK can accept?First of all, we have an
0:19:26 > 0:19:36agreed sequencing of who is negotiating and what should be
0:19:36 > 0:19:40negotiated first and we transferred the responsibility to the Brussels
0:19:40 > 0:19:47level to Michel Barnier, our chief negotiator. That means that there is
0:19:47 > 0:19:51right now no pressure at all. We are discussing but we are looking at
0:19:51 > 0:19:57what is happening there. One thing is also clear, we need the integrity
0:19:57 > 0:20:04of the single market. There should not be no deal scenario at any
0:20:04 > 0:20:09price. We have to take care of the integrity of the single because this
0:20:09 > 0:20:15could create even greater damage to German business relationships after
0:20:15 > 0:20:23all.Very good to talk to you. Thank you for joining us from Berlin. I
0:20:23 > 0:20:27spotted a tweet from the CEO of Goldman Sachs today. He says in the
0:20:27 > 0:20:34UK lots of hand-wringing from CEOs over Brexit. Reluctant to say, but
0:20:34 > 0:20:38many wish for a confirming vote, in other words a second referendum on
0:20:38 > 0:20:43the decision. I do not know if you follow him, he does not tweet very
0:20:43 > 0:20:49often. Five or six since the middle of October. The general pattern is
0:20:49 > 0:20:54he is frustrated. He keeps tweeting about how he is off to Frankfurt and
0:20:54 > 0:21:00how we likes the food in Paris. But I am spare sceptical. Our economics
0:21:00 > 0:21:05editor says that after initial projections, JP Morgan said they
0:21:05 > 0:21:13would lose 4000 jobs initially, now that is 1000. The chief executive of
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Barclays said Brexit was no more complicated than setting up a
0:21:17 > 0:21:21holding company in America which the bank was obliged to do last year. In
0:21:21 > 0:21:26October he was saying I am off to Frankfurt. Now he is saying let's
0:21:26 > 0:21:32have a second referendum.Maybe he should pass that message onto 10
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Downing Street who are making it complicated. The argument I have
0:21:36 > 0:21:41heard from investors in the US is that we are on hold, we do not know.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46We did not pull out immediately and job numbers did not decline
0:21:46 > 0:21:49immediately, but it will depend on what kind of deal is done. If there
0:21:49 > 0:21:56is no deal and the Bank of England's early estimates of 75,000 jobs lost
0:21:56 > 0:22:00in the city of London proved to be accurate, then those numbers will go
0:22:00 > 0:22:04up again. Everyone is thinking we need to know what this deal is going
0:22:04 > 0:22:12to be.Who says we do not put both sides Brexit?!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Police investigating the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy say
0:22:14 > 0:22:16the remains of all those who were killed in the blaze
0:22:16 > 0:22:17have been recovered.
0:22:17 > 0:22:2171 people are now known to have died when the fire ripped through the
0:22:21 > 0:22:2224-storey tower block in June.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24A number of children and a still-born baby
0:22:24 > 0:22:27were among the victims.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The Lebanese prime minister, Saad Hariri, is reported to have
0:22:29 > 0:22:32accepted an invitation to visit France.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The French foreign minister is in Saudi Arabia, where Mr Hariri
0:22:35 > 0:22:37has remained since making the shock announcement that he was
0:22:37 > 0:22:39resigning, 12 days ago.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41France, the former colonial power in Lebanon, has been working
0:22:41 > 0:22:46to resolve the ensuing crisis.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We all like to be punctual, but the Japanese have taken
0:22:49 > 0:22:52punctuality to a whole new level.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55A Japanese train company has apologised after one of its Tokyo
0:22:55 > 0:22:59commuter trains left the station 20 seconds early.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Japanese train companies pride themselves on punctuality.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08In a statement Tskuba Express gave its 'deepest apologies'
0:23:08 > 0:23:10for the early running, saying the driver failed
0:23:10 > 0:23:18to check the time.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20That is the best story of the day.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22That is the best story of the day.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24When President Trump took to the airwaves in a live address
0:23:24 > 0:23:27on foreign policy on Wednesday evening, it wasn't long before
0:23:27 > 0:23:28he was lighting up social media.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30People mostly weren't talking about the success
0:23:30 > 0:23:32of his recent Asian tour however.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Instead, they were talking about this...
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Take a look.
0:23:38 > 0:23:5317,000 jobs. Can I have water?
0:24:00 > 0:24:09Japanese manufacturers, Toyota... When they put Marco on to review
0:24:09 > 0:24:18President Obama's speech, do you remember that catastrophe? And he is
0:24:18 > 0:24:27like this. I need water, I need water, help me, I need water, help.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34It is Rubio.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47I thought he started off quite well. I quite liked the side told to avoid
0:24:47 > 0:24:54the spill. He went over one side to avoid water on his suit. But then it
0:24:54 > 0:24:58was quite amateurish because he goes for the two handhold of the bottle
0:24:58 > 0:25:03and nobody does that. Then that brings attention on the hands and he
0:25:03 > 0:25:08does not like the attention on his hands, so work to do on that.What
0:25:08 > 0:25:13do you think? Were you saying something? I was drinking a glass of
0:25:13 > 0:25:18water, I did not hear you.I do not think he could have done it in a
0:25:18 > 0:25:23more awkward way.It is very easy to mock people for making mistakes on
0:25:23 > 0:25:29TV, we do it all the time. If you do it, you expect it will come back to
0:25:29 > 0:25:34you when you make a mistake yourself, right?The end of a long
0:25:34 > 0:25:40flight, coming back from Asia. He went looking for the bottle and he
0:25:40 > 0:25:46found it and I thought he made a bit of a mess of it, but there you are.
0:25:46 > 0:25:53This is Beyond 100 Days. Coming up: We will speak to the husband of the
0:25:53 > 0:25:57British Iranian woman who is still in a ter Ranby Prison and the
0:25:57 > 0:26:02campaign to free her after 19 months in Iranian custody.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07And the conflict that started in secrecy and ended in failure. What a
0:26:07 > 0:26:11new documentary tells us about the Vietnam War.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Cold air is spreading south across the UK and widespread frost
0:26:21 > 0:26:26overnight. It was fairly mild today, but temperatures dropped in the
0:26:26 > 0:26:30afternoon in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Showers falling snow on
0:26:30 > 0:26:36high heels of northern Scotland. This cloud and patchy rain is the
0:26:36 > 0:26:41leading edge of cold air. It will cover all of us as we go through the
0:26:41 > 0:26:44night as the very last of the spots of rain cleared away from the
0:26:44 > 0:26:49south-east of England. Overnight it is quite windy with gales in the far
0:26:49 > 0:26:56north of Scotland. Many places will be dried, clear and there will be
0:26:56 > 0:27:01light winds in northern Scotland. Town and city centres may just hold
0:27:01 > 0:27:06above freezing, but you do not have to travel far out into the suburbs
0:27:06 > 0:27:11and the countryside to find those temperatures well below freezing.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16Some of us will be scraping the ice off the car in the morning. This is
0:27:16 > 0:27:21how it looks in the morning. Plenty of sunshine once it is up, but a
0:27:21 > 0:27:27very brisk cold start. Showers in northern Scotland from the word go
0:27:27 > 0:27:34and with very strong winds. Western parts of Scotland may get away with
0:27:34 > 0:27:39it. Most of England and Wales, Northern Ireland and southern and
0:27:39 > 0:27:43eastern parts of Scotland will be dry. Long, sunny spells further
0:27:43 > 0:27:51south. Temperatures for most will' this. Temperatures drop quickly as
0:27:51 > 0:27:56we go through Friday evening. We will see patchy rain spreading into
0:27:56 > 0:28:02Northern Ireland and Scotland. Filters southwards on Saturday. But
0:28:02 > 0:28:07on Saturday the best of the sunshine will be in Scotland. In the North
0:28:07 > 0:28:11East it will still be windy. Frost on Saturday night and Sunday
0:28:11 > 0:28:18morning. Then a weather front coming in from the west. It moves north
0:28:18 > 0:28:25eastwards across the UK. We will keep you updated on that. Any
0:28:25 > 0:28:29sunshine on Sunday will be on the eastern side of the UK and in the
0:28:29 > 0:28:34West it will cloud over and turn a little less chilly.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11This is Beyond 100 Days with me, Katty Kay, in Washington.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12And Christian Fraser in London.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Our top stories:
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore remains defiant.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18He's not stepping aside, despite growing accusations
0:30:18 > 0:30:23of sexual misconduct.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Still under house arrest, the Zimbabwean president,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Robert Mugabe, meets a military general and South African mediators,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31as the army retains control of the country.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Coming up in the next half-hour:
0:30:33 > 0:30:39$400 million is the bid, and the piece is sold.
0:30:39 > 0:30:4360 years ago, this Leonardo Da Vinci masterpiece was auctioned
0:30:43 > 0:30:46for just $60.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Now, the Salvatore Mundi becomes the most expensive
0:30:49 > 0:30:51painting ever sold.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And, bringing a new focus to the Vietnam War.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Film-maker Ken Burns joins us to discuss his latest documentary.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #Beyond100Days.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, is meeting regional envoys in Harare
0:31:14 > 0:31:16to try to negotiate a way through the political
0:31:16 > 0:31:18crisis in the country.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21He has been held under house arrest since the military
0:31:21 > 0:31:23took over yesterday.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It is reported Mr Mugabe wants to stay on as president
0:31:25 > 0:31:27until next year's elections.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29But his rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, the main opposition leader,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32has called for him to be replaced by a power-sharing
0:31:32 > 0:31:34transitional government.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Speaking to the BBC a short time ago, this was the UN
0:31:37 > 0:31:44Secretary-General's reaction to the crisis.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Well, I
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Well, I never like to see military involved in politics, but I have to
0:31:51 > 0:31:56recognise it is a confusing situation. I hope, first of all,
0:31:56 > 0:32:01that there is no loss of blood, that this is done peacefully, and I hope
0:32:01 > 0:32:06that we will be able to lead to a political, democratic solution, and
0:32:06 > 0:32:09that the next elections are free and fair for the people of Zimbabwe to
0:32:09 > 0:32:11choose their own future.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13And we can speak to our correspondent Ben Brown,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15who's in Zimbabwe.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20There is a moment in a takeover like this where the momentum is with the
0:32:20 > 0:32:24army but, the longer it goes on, it sometimes starts to take back the
0:32:24 > 0:32:29other way. Looking at these photographs of Robert Mugabe
0:32:29 > 0:32:33alongside the head of the Army, smiling, do you think there might be
0:32:33 > 0:32:39some concern in Harare that that is about to happen?Well, I've got to
0:32:39 > 0:32:42say, it's one of the strangest coups I've ever covered. A real softly
0:32:42 > 0:32:48softly to if you like. If you shots fired, but not many and now as you
0:32:48 > 0:32:55say, the man who led that coup, the man in charge of the Zimbabwean
0:32:55 > 0:32:59defence forces, sitting on a sofa, smiling, with Robert Mugabe, the man
0:32:59 > 0:33:03he is supposed to have toppled. It seems they are having talks along
0:33:03 > 0:33:06with some South African mediators and a catholic priest in there as
0:33:06 > 0:33:10well. Talks about what to Mugabe does now. It depends who you
0:33:10 > 0:33:17believe, in terms of the sources close to those talks. Some sources
0:33:17 > 0:33:21are saying, actually, Mr Mugabe is trying to cling onto power. He has
0:33:21 > 0:33:27been in power for 37 years in this country, 37 years of rule, or
0:33:27 > 0:33:32misrule, some would say, and he is a wily a cunning operator. Other
0:33:32 > 0:33:36people are saying, actually, he is on his way out. He could even resign
0:33:36 > 0:33:40tomorrow. According to these reports, there is a plan, and the
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Army plan is that the former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is
0:33:44 > 0:33:50going to take over as president and as his Prime Minister, there will be
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, the leader of the MDC, the
0:33:54 > 0:33:57great rival of Robert Mugabe for many years, and that those two men
0:33:57 > 0:34:01together will form a transitional government or maybe three to five
0:34:01 > 0:34:04years, paving the way to new elections and trying to restore the
0:34:04 > 0:34:10battered economy.So the future is unclear at the moment. What is the
0:34:10 > 0:34:16present like? What is Zimbabwe like today since you have gone into the
0:34:16 > 0:34:21country? Are people nervous, euphoric, what is the atmosphere?I
0:34:21 > 0:34:25think they are potentially euphoric, but they don't want to show that
0:34:25 > 0:34:28euphoria yet, because for those reasons I have outlined they don't
0:34:28 > 0:34:32know what's going on and whether Mr Mugabe might still be around, not
0:34:32 > 0:34:38just tomorrow but for months or even years. So, on the whole, people
0:34:38 > 0:34:41we've talked to are happy, but there was no dancing in the street, shall
0:34:41 > 0:34:45we say. It's very relaxed. It doesn't seem tense, considering
0:34:45 > 0:34:49there has been a military takeover. People are going about their normal
0:34:49 > 0:34:54daily lives, really. And they are hopeful, I think they are hopeful,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58but also potentially a little fearful that their hopes would be
0:34:58 > 0:35:03realised. As I say, 37 years, the economy of this country has gone to
0:35:03 > 0:35:08ruin. We have had hyperinflation, massive unemployment. It's a
0:35:08 > 0:35:12desperately sorry state of affairs here. And many, many millions of
0:35:12 > 0:35:16people in Zimbabwe just hoping for a better future.Ben Brown in
0:35:16 > 0:35:22Zimbabwe, thank you. It's amazing even to see those daily news
0:35:22 > 0:35:28slogans, with more are they -- with Mugabe under house arrest, given
0:35:28 > 0:35:32what a tight control he has had on the press and opposition
0:35:32 > 0:35:34politicians. Quite extraordinary to see that from the streets of
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Zimbabwe.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38It is heartbreaking to look at the photos of the daughter
0:35:38 > 0:35:39of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41They show a child clearly adored by her mother,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43now having to grow up without her.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46The girl is now with her Iranian family in Tehran - and her father,
0:35:46 > 0:35:50who is in the UK, says that each time he speaks to her on the phone
0:35:50 > 0:35:53she seems to understand less and less of what he says.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Meanwhile, the Foreign Office is still considering whether to grant
0:35:55 > 0:35:56diplomatic protection to the British-Iranian
0:35:56 > 0:35:57mother being held in Iran.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed in April 2016, accused of spying,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03a charge she denies.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Her case was complicated two weeks ago when the British Foreign
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Secretary, Boris Johnson, said she was in Iran to
0:36:08 > 0:36:09"train journalists".
0:36:09 > 0:36:17He has since apologised and retracted his statement.
0:36:17 > 0:36:25The British government has no doubt that Natalie Zebari Ratcliffe --
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was any rani and on holiday and that was the
0:36:27 > 0:36:36sole purpose of her victim stop -- of her visit. My remarks should and
0:36:36 > 0:36:40could have been clearer, and I acknowledge that the words are used
0:36:40 > 0:36:46were open to being misinterpreted, and I apologise. I apologise to
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her family if I inadvertently caused
0:36:48 > 0:36:51them any further pain.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Nazanin's husband, Richard Ratcliffe, met
0:36:52 > 0:36:54with the British Foreign Secretary yesterday.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Mr Ratcliffe joins us in the studio now.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03I don't think there will be anybody in the country who can't fail to be
0:37:03 > 0:37:06impressed by your patience and good temperament throughout this. But, as
0:37:06 > 0:37:11a father, and I speak as a father myself, how difficult is it not seen
0:37:11 > 0:37:18Gabriella day-to-day?It's been a long 18, 19 months, and she's grown
0:37:18 > 0:37:20up and she went out a little baby and she is now little girl,
0:37:20 > 0:37:28confident and important and changed languages, different environment
0:37:28 > 0:37:32now, and of home, home in London, in a different way.And he want to be
0:37:32 > 0:37:38part of that.Yeah.I listened to you yesterday and it seemed to me
0:37:38 > 0:37:43that you are able to get information to Nazanin, because she's more angry
0:37:43 > 0:37:48about what Boris Johnson said. How much contact do you have?I can
0:37:48 > 0:37:54telephone once a week and their family visits. I can't call her, so
0:37:54 > 0:37:57it's hard to get something to her, but I can hear from her how she is
0:37:57 > 0:38:04doing.And she's pretty desperate? The last couple weeks has been
0:38:04 > 0:38:08particularly hard, but it's been a long struggle. She has been in
0:38:08 > 0:38:10solitary confinement for a long time and as I said yesterday, begin to
0:38:10 > 0:38:14the Foreign Secretary, I think she is on the verge of a nervous
0:38:14 > 0:38:21breakdown.Why?Because the tone of her voice, the loss of emotional
0:38:21 > 0:38:25control, she taught about having panic attacks and uncontrollable and
0:38:25 > 0:38:30get points.Is that because of where she is being held?Suddenly the
0:38:30 > 0:38:35prison isn't a great place. It's partly a long legacy of the time in
0:38:35 > 0:38:38solitary confinement, and she is on the TV every night in Iran being
0:38:38 > 0:38:42called a spy and the rest of it, and that takes a huge toll on her.You
0:38:42 > 0:38:48have said you would like to go to Iran with the Foreign Secretary when
0:38:48 > 0:38:55he visits. Would you hope -- what do you hope it isn't like that would
0:38:55 > 0:38:59achieve?It is much the symbolism of it and also the practicality. I have
0:38:59 > 0:39:03been on all sorts of global media talking quite critically about Iran,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07which makes it slightly less safe to go in other circumstances. Partly it
0:39:07 > 0:39:11is to go and seek. I can go to prison and is either because I am
0:39:11 > 0:39:14family. He come with me. He is the Foreign Secretary, and that's no
0:39:14 > 0:39:22small. That's the thing I asked him, if it's possible, and he said he was
0:39:22 > 0:39:27keen, but it was obviously a question to discuss with his staff
0:39:27 > 0:39:31and the Iranians.Do you have any sense of what the next steps might
0:39:31 > 0:39:37be?To be honest, the day has been moving day-to-day. -- the story has
0:39:37 > 0:39:41been moving. Finding out when the Foreign Secretary is going to run is
0:39:41 > 0:39:45the first step, and whether it is possible to go. I have asked the
0:39:45 > 0:39:50government to look at providing diplomatic protection, which is a
0:39:50 > 0:39:54bit more and consular assistance, it's trying to secure her release
0:39:54 > 0:39:57and deciding she has been wrong in a severe way. They are happy to
0:39:57 > 0:40:04discuss that.Boris Johnson has said there is more complexity to this
0:40:04 > 0:40:08than the comments he fluffed, and we are getting some detail of that
0:40:08 > 0:40:11today, that there is an amount of money that was paid to the British
0:40:11 > 0:40:16government all the way back in the 1970s for military hardware that's
0:40:16 > 0:40:18been kept, about 400 million, an awful lot of money. Is that what is
0:40:18 > 0:40:23stopping this from moving forward, the return of that money? Is she
0:40:23 > 0:40:29effectively being held to ransom? His comments are not where she was
0:40:29 > 0:40:33arrested. She was there on holiday. It snowballed in different ways. I
0:40:33 > 0:40:39have said before that I thought she was a bargaining chip, because she
0:40:39 > 0:40:43was doing nothing, so I don't know why she was held. When we went to
0:40:43 > 0:40:47see the Foreign Secretary yesterday, that report had just been in the Sun
0:40:47 > 0:40:52newspaper, so we took it and said, is this what's going on? There have
0:40:52 > 0:40:54been more articles today. He said he hadn't seen it before. Obviously,
0:40:54 > 0:41:02it's one of the big things, a big amount of money. It clearly is a
0:41:02 > 0:41:06debt that UK Iran and has owned for a long time and, quite rightly, they
0:41:06 > 0:41:11will be quite cross. -- that the UK close to Iran. It feels that it is
0:41:11 > 0:41:15important for all of us that law is followed and that the rule of law by
0:41:15 > 0:41:20the UK and Iran is really important for allowing her to come home.We
0:41:20 > 0:41:25wish you and your family all the best. Come back and talk to us,
0:41:25 > 0:41:34hopefully with Nazanin. We hope that she is safely back soon. Amazing
0:41:34 > 0:41:36composure, that man.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37More than 300,000 people from Central America
0:41:37 > 0:41:40and Haiti currently living here in the United States may soon
0:41:40 > 0:41:42lose their legal right to stay in the country.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Those with TPS - or Temporary Protected Status -
0:41:44 > 0:41:47are now finding themselves on the front line of the Trump
0:41:47 > 0:41:48administration's efforts to reform immigration policies.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51For decades, the programme shielded citizens from being sent back
0:41:51 > 0:41:53to unstable countries.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57But recently the benefit was ended for those from Nicaragua, and now
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Haitians have been told a decision is coming on their status soon.
0:42:01 > 0:42:11From New York, the BBC's Nada Tawfik reports.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16This woman has called New York home for seven years. After the
0:42:16 > 0:42:20devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the single mother lost
0:42:20 > 0:42:24everything and slept on the street with her newborn son. She started
0:42:24 > 0:42:29over again in the United States thanks to the temporary protected
0:42:29 > 0:42:32status, or TPS programme. For decades, it's provided short-term
0:42:32 > 0:42:36work permits and refuge to those fleeing countries ravaged by natural
0:42:36 > 0:42:42disaster or war. The policy for Haiti has been extended several
0:42:42 > 0:42:44times but is now under threat, as the administration aims to crack
0:42:44 > 0:42:50down on immigration, leaving her future uncertain once more.It's
0:42:50 > 0:42:57stressful. Crying everyday. Not knowing what to do, where you are
0:42:57 > 0:43:02going to go, how you are going to make it. It's not easy at all. I
0:43:02 > 0:43:10just keep praying, asking God to do a miracle.New York is home to one
0:43:10 > 0:43:14of the largest Haitian communities in the country. If temporary
0:43:14 > 0:43:17protected status is revoked for those who have no other legal path
0:43:17 > 0:43:21to remaining in the country, they will either have to leave all live
0:43:21 > 0:43:23in the shadows, which could potentially mean thousands of
0:43:23 > 0:43:27additional people here undocumented and working illegally. The programme
0:43:27 > 0:43:32was never meant to be permanent. Still, immigration attorneys are now
0:43:32 > 0:43:36scrambling to help their clients stay where they have build new
0:43:36 > 0:43:40lives.These TPS nationals have developed roots in the United States
0:43:40 > 0:43:45and assimilated. They have had children here, worked here, paid
0:43:45 > 0:43:48taxes and paid into Social Security and Medicare. So it's very difficult
0:43:48 > 0:43:54to just tell them that they are not welcome any more. Button the poorest
0:43:54 > 0:43:58country in the western hemisphere has faced renewed challenges since
0:43:58 > 0:44:01the earthquake, including a cholera epidemic and hurricanes.The
0:44:01 > 0:44:06department of homeland security says conditions have improved enough for
0:44:06 > 0:44:10immigrants to start planning their return. But some on Capitol Hill
0:44:10 > 0:44:14believe it's still too early to go back, and have been accused --
0:44:14 > 0:44:20introduced a bill to help them stay. Haiti is in extreme dire straits. It
0:44:20 > 0:44:24is a fragile system, in terms of health care, housing, in terms of
0:44:24 > 0:44:30opportunity, and there are 50,000 individuals, which is a drop in the
0:44:30 > 0:44:38bucket when you look at a nation of our size.She says her and her son
0:44:38 > 0:44:41don't even have a door they cannot come back in Haiti and they feel
0:44:41 > 0:44:48blessed for their life in America.I just like every day. I say, thank
0:44:48 > 0:44:52you, Lord, it was a good day.But she can't help but wonder, long will
0:44:52 > 0:45:00it last? -- how long.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02That's the question for many of these people, they don't know when
0:45:02 > 0:45:06they are going to get that phone call. It could come next week. These
0:45:06 > 0:45:10are people who have lived in the United States for years, sometimes
0:45:10 > 0:45:14even decades, who often don't have homes, like that woman, back in the
0:45:14 > 0:45:18countries they came from, and what would they return to, particularly
0:45:18 > 0:45:22given the countries they come from our unstable? It's a real change in
0:45:22 > 0:45:27the United States. There is so much drama in the Trump administration,
0:45:27 > 0:45:31and sometimes we get distracted by the amount of change on some key
0:45:31 > 0:45:34policy issues like immigration, that is really changing the nature of
0:45:34 > 0:45:39this society and country. Let's move on.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41A painting - believed to be by the Italian
0:45:41 > 0:45:44master Leonardo da Vinci - has sold at auction for a record
0:45:44 > 0:45:46$450 million, including $50 million in fees.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47The painting - depicting Jesus Christ, and known
0:45:47 > 0:45:50as Salvator Mundi or "saviour of the world" -
0:45:50 > 0:45:53sold in New York for the highest price of any work of art ever.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Bear in mind it was sold at an auction in London
0:45:56 > 0:46:03in 1958, for just $60.
0:46:03 > 0:46:09That would have been a good investment! I dream of picking up
0:46:09 > 0:46:11something like that in my local bric-a-brac stall.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14You might remember that we spoke about this painting on Monday's show
0:46:14 > 0:46:15with the acclaimed novelist, Walter Isaacson.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18His new book profiles the life and times of Leonardo.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22There are fewer than 20 of his paintings in existence,
0:46:22 > 0:46:28and didn't the bidders know it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:33And so, ladies and gentlemen, we move to the Leonardo da Vinci. The
0:46:33 > 0:46:38masterpiece by Leonardo, previous in the collections of three kings of
0:46:38 > 0:46:44England. King Charles the first, King Charles II and King James II.
0:46:44 > 0:46:49240 million is the bait. I'm selling at 240 million. 302 million is a
0:46:49 > 0:46:59beard. 302, 305 will be next, please. At 315 and a shake of the
0:46:59 > 0:47:15head, no? What would you like? 318? 400 million. It is with Alex Rotter
0:47:15 > 0:47:21at 400 million. Leonardo's painting. $400 million is the bid. And the
0:47:21 > 0:47:26piece is sold.
0:47:26 > 0:47:31Isn't that extraordinary! It's not even in very good nick. It's been
0:47:31 > 0:47:39over varnished and cleaned. That's not worth $400 million!Is somebody
0:47:39 > 0:47:42gave you that, you'd complain?Of course not!There is no pleasing
0:47:42 > 0:47:43some people.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45This is Beyond 100 Days.
0:47:45 > 0:47:46Still to come:
0:47:46 > 0:47:47His documentaries have brought history to life.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51Now Ken Burns is turning his lens on the Vietnam War, and joins us
0:47:51 > 0:47:52to talk about the result.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Here in the UK, a 49-year-old man has been arrested by police
0:47:58 > 0:48:01in Dorset on suspicion of the murder of Gaia Pope.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03The teenager, who has severe epilepsy, was last
0:48:03 > 0:48:04seen nine days ago.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Earlier, police found items of women's clothing
0:48:07 > 0:48:11in a field near Swanage.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14A search is now taking place in the field and surrounding area,
0:48:14 > 0:48:18as our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20This is the cliff area above Swanage where the woman's
0:48:20 > 0:48:21clothes were found.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Police have been joined by specialist coast teams
0:48:23 > 0:48:25from the coastguard and other units.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Officers say the pieces discovered were similar
0:48:27 > 0:48:31to clothing worn by Gaia.
0:48:31 > 0:48:36The items of clothing were found by a member of public
0:48:36 > 0:48:37at 10:30 this morning.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Since then, this patch of coastline has been sealed off as police have
0:48:40 > 0:48:46carried out further investigations.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Gaia, who is 19, has been missing for nine days
0:48:48 > 0:48:51and has severe epilepsy.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Tonight, police said they had made an arrest.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58This afternoon, we have arrested a 49-year-old male
0:48:58 > 0:49:07on suspicion of murder.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10He is believed to be known to Gaia and is from the Swanage area.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Speaking before the police announcement, Gaia's father
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Richard said all her family are finding her disappearance
0:49:14 > 0:49:23extremely hard to deal with.
0:49:23 > 0:49:28It's tough but we'll hang on in there for her, her sisters and her
0:49:28 > 0:49:31mum.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33We will hang on in there for Gaia.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35For her sisters, for her mum, for everybody,
0:49:35 > 0:49:36we will hang on in there.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Earlier this week, police released these CCTV images of Gaia
0:49:38 > 0:49:41while she was running on a road in Swanage.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43And at a petrol station in the town, buying an ice cream
0:49:44 > 0:49:45on the afternoon she disappeared.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Police divers and other search teams have been operating in a number
0:49:48 > 0:49:49of locations around the town.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Officers say those will continue for as long as necessary.
0:49:51 > 0:49:56Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, in Swanage.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07The Vietnam War started in secrecy in 1955 and ended
0:50:07 > 0:50:11in failure in 1975.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15It has overshadowed American political life ever since.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Film-maker Ken Burns' ten-part documentary series The Vietnam War
0:50:17 > 0:50:20is a comprehensive look at the war, told through the voices of those
0:50:20 > 0:50:23who fought it, on both sides.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Earlier, we spoke to Mr Burns to hear more about
0:50:26 > 0:50:35the hidden history of the war and its lessons for today.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Ken Burns, it's been nearly half a decade since the Vietnam War, so
0:50:39 > 0:50:42much has been written about it and set about it and pored over and
0:50:42 > 0:50:49analysed. What made you decide to revisit the subject, and why now is
0:50:49 > 0:50:52to mockI started work on this more than ten years ago, and I thought
0:50:52 > 0:50:58back then in 2006, 2007, that the Vietnam War was central to
0:50:58 > 0:51:01understand who we were then. I think it is even more central to
0:51:01 > 0:51:05understanding who we are now. I guess the most important thing is
0:51:05 > 0:51:10for Americans, I think this is the biggest thing in American history
0:51:10 > 0:51:14since the Second World War and, in that half-century, we've seen played
0:51:14 > 0:51:18out a lot of the seeds of disunion that were first planted during the
0:51:18 > 0:51:25Vietnam War, so it raises questions about fake news, it raises questions
0:51:25 > 0:51:30about mass demonstrations, about stolen documents, about reaching out
0:51:30 > 0:51:35to a foreign power during a political campaign, about the White
0:51:35 > 0:51:39House in disarray, obsessed with leaks.Why did it take ten years?
0:51:39 > 0:51:43You waiting for some of the archive to become available, or was it some
0:51:43 > 0:51:48of the people in the document is series who took some time to find?
0:51:48 > 0:51:51It was too important a topic to do on the quick and dirty, as we like
0:51:51 > 0:51:57to say. We need to take our time and let it mature, our understanding of
0:51:57 > 0:52:01it. I also work in public broadcasting, so it is will grant
0:52:01 > 0:52:06funded, and I have to go out with my tin cup, asking for contributions
0:52:06 > 0:52:09from corporations and foundations and individuals to make it happen.
0:52:09 > 0:52:14You told this film through the voices of ordinary soldiers somebody
0:52:14 > 0:52:18like John Musgrave, who is a marine who speaks with incredible candour
0:52:18 > 0:52:22about how he felt about the Vietnamese, how he hated them, and
0:52:22 > 0:52:27then how he felt about himself after the war, how he hated himself
0:52:27 > 0:52:31effectively, almost trying to kill himself. How does it change the
0:52:31 > 0:52:33audience's interpretation of the war to hear it told through the voices
0:52:33 > 0:52:39of the soldiers?That such an important question. We could have
0:52:39 > 0:52:43gone to the big names and we said to John McCain and John Kerry, you'll
0:52:43 > 0:52:46be in our film but we're not going to interview you. You are still in
0:52:46 > 0:52:51the public sphere and people know you. You want an unmediated view of
0:52:51 > 0:52:55these people. So everybody we defeat was, for the most part, completely
0:52:55 > 0:52:58unknown, like John Musgrave, who must be the central interview of the
0:52:58 > 0:53:04film. -- everybody we interviewed. It was important for the audience to
0:53:04 > 0:53:09understand subsequently, we hope, that, when you talk about wars, yes,
0:53:09 > 0:53:13you are talking about the movement of armies and the conflict between
0:53:13 > 0:53:17them but, more often than not, you are also talking about internal wars
0:53:17 > 0:53:21within people, and John Musgrave is the perfect example. Most of our
0:53:21 > 0:53:24characters, suddenly half of them, in some way undergo profound changes
0:53:24 > 0:53:31within themselves as they try to negotiate the complicated shoals and
0:53:31 > 0:53:34eddies of the Vietnam War, and that is what we were also trying to
0:53:34 > 0:53:39listen to. We wanted to get the battle is right, the sequence of the
0:53:39 > 0:53:41diplomacy, all of the intricacies of that, but we also wanted to
0:53:41 > 0:53:47understand it a gut, human level that would help people. In our
0:53:47 > 0:53:49country, people don't talk about it who went there. One of the great
0:53:49 > 0:53:55bits of feedback I've had a since the broadcast ended here, and people
0:53:55 > 0:53:59are still die jesting and watching DVDs, is they are coming up and
0:53:59 > 0:54:04saying a variation of, my dad, my grandfather, my father-in-law, my
0:54:04 > 0:54:08uncle, they never talked about it, and we watched together and now we
0:54:08 > 0:54:13are speaking. So there is an opportunity, you can tell so-called
0:54:13 > 0:54:16ordinary people stories, that some healing can take place, some sort of
0:54:16 > 0:54:21reconciliation of the conflicting aspects of the Vietnam War that
0:54:21 > 0:54:26still confound us, not only politically and socially but, I
0:54:26 > 0:54:29think, also psychologically.You talk about history not finished, and
0:54:29 > 0:54:34the final episode is called the weight of memory. It interests me
0:54:34 > 0:54:37that we still look at your politicians through the prism of the
0:54:37 > 0:54:44demand. We talk about Donald Trump is perhaps a draft dodger, and then
0:54:44 > 0:54:47we talk about Senator McCain Le Figaro. -- through the prism of
0:54:47 > 0:54:53Vietnam. 40 years on, it's still shapes how American politicians are
0:54:53 > 0:54:57seen.It was the first war we lost. Americans are still working out how
0:54:57 > 0:55:02to understand that lost or, at least, that failure, as we say in
0:55:02 > 0:55:08the film. That will be an ongoing conversation, I think, for a long
0:55:08 > 0:55:12time, even after unfortunately those veterans have passed away. It is
0:55:12 > 0:55:15still a source of great contention and discussion, and I hope that we
0:55:15 > 0:55:23can transform some of that into some peace, some reconciliation, and some
