0:00:09 > 0:00:10Europe's island of political stability suddenly
0:00:10 > 0:00:13looks a bit less calm.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Angela Merkel has been at the helm in Berlin for 13 years.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Can we imagine Europe without her?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22The German Chancellor says she'd rather face fresh elections than run
0:00:22 > 0:00:26a minority government after coalition talks collapse.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Europe say it is ready to offer Britain an ambitious free trade
0:00:28 > 0:00:33deal, so long as they pay the bill on the way out.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36President Mugabe will face charges that he let his wife usurp power,
0:00:36 > 0:00:43as his own party moves to impeach him.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Also on the programme: Women dying in childbirth should be
0:00:45 > 0:00:47a thing of the past, and things are improving,
0:00:47 > 0:00:54though not it seems in Texas.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The bond that underpins the success and stability of the Royal family.

0:01:02 > 0:01:12Get in touch with us using the hashtag beyond100days.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Hello.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm Katty Kay in Washington, Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19And Berlin is in chaos.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Throughout the years of financial crisis,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25the rise of populism and Brexit, Germany has been a beacon
0:01:25 > 0:01:26of stability in Europe.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Angela Merkel, the steady hand in turbulent times.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Some even called her the new leader of the Free World.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35But suddenly the Chancellor looks vulnerable and German
0:01:35 > 0:01:36politics is a mess.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Her coalition talks fell apart last night when the pro business FDP
0:01:40 > 0:01:43party decided to pull out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45So what now?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47The breakdown in negotiations raises the possibility of a snap election.
0:01:47 > 0:01:55Though for now President Walter Steinmeir has told
0:01:55 > 0:01:58the parties to get back to work to try to find some compromise.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The longer it goes on, the greater the uncertainty for Mrs Merkel.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02From Berlin Jenny Hill reports.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06She promised Germany a government for Christmas.
0:02:06 > 0:02:14Instead, Angela Merkel has delivered an unprecedented political crisis.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Not much to applaud.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20In the early hours of this morning, Mrs Merkel admitted
0:02:20 > 0:02:22she couldn't form a government.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24TRANSLATION: I, as the acting Chancellor, will do everything
0:02:24 > 0:02:29to lead the country through these difficult weeks.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Later, crisis talks with the German president.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35This country may yet have to go back to the ballot box.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37What's uncertain is whether Mrs Merkel's party
0:02:37 > 0:02:40would want her to lead them into a fresh election.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45TRANSLATION: This is the moment for all involved
0:02:45 > 0:02:48to reflect and reconsider.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53All parties elected to parliament are there to serve the common good.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I expect them to be open to discussion,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00to create a government in the very near future.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04But German politics, German voters, have changed.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11The far right now sits in Parliament.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12A weakened Mrs Merkel doesn't have many options.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14TRANSLATION: It's time for a change.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Someone else should be in charge.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17She's out of new ideas.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18TRANSLATION: She's close to the people.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21She tries to represent the interests of different parts of society.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25She doesn't always succeed but she tries.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Political uncertainty, economic disquiet.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Mrs Merkel cancelled a meeting with the Dutch leader today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Little time for foreign policy now.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Dwindling influence perhaps in the future.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42It's rare, unprecedented even, for there to be such
0:03:42 > 0:03:44confusion at the heart of the German government.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46But this is a leadership crisis, too.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52They call it the Merkel Dammerung - the twilight of Merkel.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Her demise is often wrongly predicted.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00This time, though, there is a sense that the lights are starting to go
0:04:00 > 0:04:03out on the Merkel era.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06From a country which stands for stability, a sudden hesitation
0:04:06 > 0:04:10in the heart of Europe.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Jenny Hill, BBC News, Berlin.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Moritz Koch is senior correspondent with Handelsblatt
0:04:15 > 0:04:22and joins us now from Berlin.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I imagine the best way that Angela Merkel could put all of these
0:04:26 > 0:04:30questions to rest is to call a snap election and almost turn it into a
0:04:30 > 0:04:36referendum on her leadership.Yes. Well, the problem with that is that
0:04:36 > 0:04:41she is not the one who can make that decision. It is actually the
0:04:41 > 0:04:47president, Walter Steinmeir. He first has called on all political
0:04:47 > 0:04:54parties to reconsider and see whether they can find some common
0:04:54 > 0:05:02ground and do form a government. He was speaking also to his party, the
0:05:02 > 0:05:06social Democrats, that have formed a coalition with Angela Merkel in the
0:05:06 > 0:05:10last four years but have ruled out that they will join this Merkel
0:05:10 > 0:05:21government again. Now the pressure is on and the party so far is still
0:05:21 > 0:05:26resisting so the scenario that we have new elections in the end seems
0:05:26 > 0:05:30likely, but they will have to be called by Frank-Walter Steinmeir and
0:05:30 > 0:05:35not by Angela Merkel.It seems the breaking point in the negotiation
0:05:35 > 0:05:39was something that has plagued Angela Merkel for two years, that is
0:05:39 > 0:05:45the level of migration.Yes, that was one of the main points that was
0:05:45 > 0:05:52contested between the three parties, the Liberal Democrats, the Green
0:05:52 > 0:05:56party and the conservative bloc of Angela Merkel. However, in the end,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00there was quite some progress and both the Green party and the
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Conservatives claim that it would have been possible to form a
0:06:05 > 0:06:11government. The Liberal Democrats were the one who quit. They probably
0:06:11 > 0:06:17just thought that they will be just fine when we will have re-elections
0:06:17 > 0:06:24and so they yesterday put party before country.You have said that
0:06:24 > 0:06:28this feels in Germany today like the beginning of the end of the Angela
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Merkel era, are you prepared to put a time frame on that?It is very
0:06:33 > 0:06:38hard to say. She has said that she will not resign and so far there is
0:06:38 > 0:06:41no one in her party who will challenge her. The party has
0:06:41 > 0:06:47actually rallied around her in the last couple of hours. When we do
0:06:47 > 0:06:51have re-elections Angela Merkel will be the one who will lead the
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Christian Democrats into these elections. The question is just that
0:06:56 > 0:07:03nobody really has an answer to is how will these new election results
0:07:03 > 0:07:10make it any easier for Angela Merkel to form a government? The only party
0:07:10 > 0:07:15right now that is seen as a clear winner of all of this chaos is the
0:07:15 > 0:07:23far right AFTA.Thank you very much for joining us. I guess that will be
0:07:23 > 0:07:30the concern throughout Europe, because this is not just about
0:07:30 > 0:07:34German stability. Angela Merkel is as much about European stability and
0:07:34 > 0:07:38even global stability. She is big leading light here in Washington
0:07:38 > 0:07:42when they talk about European stability. People can barely imagine
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Germany without doubt.Yes, through the financial crisis and the
0:07:47 > 0:07:51problems with Greece. This picture is from 2007 and these other people
0:07:51 > 0:08:01she has seen off. There is George W Bush and Nicholas Sarkozy there and
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Putin is still there, interestingly, just to the right of Nicholas that
0:08:03 > 0:08:11those the. That shows how long she has lasted. It has been relative
0:08:11 > 0:08:14calm and prosperity at home. That is the big test for the voters if she
0:08:14 > 0:08:18were to turn it into a referendum. Do they want to risk all of that?
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Remember where they came from when she came to power. The economy was
0:08:23 > 0:08:26not all in great shape. There are outside factors as well and it is
0:08:26 > 0:08:32not all down to her.But this is a dangerous time to hold a referendum.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Call one at your peril!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38How much should Theresa May pay to the European Union
0:08:38 > 0:08:39for a future trade deal.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Is it money owed, or is it a ransom?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44How much should Theresa May pay to the European Union
0:08:44 > 0:08:47There is speculation today that the Prime Minister is planning
0:08:47 > 0:08:49to double the 20 billion euros her government has
0:08:49 > 0:08:50already offered to the EU.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53And there are some in her party who don't like it, not one bit.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56On Sunday Chancellor Philip Hammond said the UK would come up
0:08:56 > 0:08:58with proposals in time for the crunch summit
0:08:58 > 0:09:00in mid-December though he has promised Britain
0:09:00 > 0:09:01will negotiate hard.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03The prize could be the most ambitious free trade agreement
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Europe has ever signed.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07But that would depend, said EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11on an orderly withdrawal.
0:09:11 > 0:09:19Those who claim that the UK should cherry pick apart of the single
0:09:19 > 0:09:26market must stop this contradiction. The single market is a package with
0:09:26 > 0:09:32four indivisible freedoms, common rules, institutions and enforcement
0:09:32 > 0:09:40structures. You can know these rules very well, like the back of its
0:09:40 > 0:09:46hands.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48We're joined now from Westminster by our Chief Political
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Correspondent Vicki Young, but first our Europe Correspondent
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Damian Grammaticas is in Brussels.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55They have voted in the last few hours to award some of the big
0:09:55 > 0:10:00agencies that are currently in London to other cities. This is
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Brexit in process.Yes, you are right. It is the first tangible sign
0:10:04 > 0:10:13of what drugs it will involve. It is the disentangling of these two sides
0:10:13 > 0:10:18and the European banking authority, it is a couple of hundred staff
0:10:18 > 0:10:21overseeing the stability of European banks, the decision made by a secret
0:10:21 > 0:10:26ballot of European ministers here in Brussels this evening, that will be
0:10:26 > 0:10:29going to Paris. Dublin were bidding for that and they lost out. The
0:10:29 > 0:10:35other agency is much bigger, the European medicines authority, which
0:10:35 > 0:10:41coordinates the approval and the marketing of new medicines across
0:10:41 > 0:10:45the EU and 900 staff there will be moving from London to Amsterdam.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Interestingly that came down to a tie between Milan and Italy -- Milan
0:10:50 > 0:10:54in Italy and Amsterdam and it had to be decided by the drawing of lots
0:10:54 > 0:10:59and it will take a considerable amount of staff and with it the drug
0:10:59 > 0:11:03companies who have large conferences and 40,000 hotel rooms a year are
0:11:03 > 0:11:08books by that agency. Those will all be going to Amsterdam and it is
0:11:08 > 0:11:12aside that the EU side is progressing preparations for Brexit.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Michel Barnier is sitting here and looking at the UK still deciding
0:11:16 > 0:11:23what it wants to do about paying the bills as it leaves.The stories we
0:11:23 > 0:11:28are hearing of a possible 40 billion euros. Are you hearing anything more
0:11:28 > 0:11:34on that? When will we know? How will it go down?There has been a meeting
0:11:34 > 0:11:37this afternoon in Downing Street the senior cabinet ministers and Theresa
0:11:37 > 0:11:41May and we understand that they were discussing exactly what they are
0:11:41 > 0:11:44going to do to progress to that next stage. Will they in principle say
0:11:44 > 0:11:51that they will pay some more? Theresa May has already said she is
0:11:51 > 0:11:55prepared to pay £18 billion which covers this budget period for the EU
0:11:55 > 0:12:00and she says that nobody else in the EU will be out of pocket because
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Britain is leaving. We have had a one line reaction from Downing
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Street and I cannot promise you it will tell you much. It says it
0:12:08 > 0:12:12remains our position that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed in
0:12:12 > 0:12:15negotiations with the EU. The Prime Minister said this morning that the
0:12:15 > 0:12:19UK and the EU should step forward together. There are some that feel
0:12:19 > 0:12:23it is right to pay some more money, even those who were maybe on the
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Brexit side of the argument, but they would argue that it does need
0:12:26 > 0:12:31to be tied to the deal that we eventually end up with. It is
0:12:31 > 0:12:33conditional money and it will not just be handed over with nothing in
0:12:33 > 0:12:39return.People talk about the Prime Minister as being we and not knowing
0:12:39 > 0:12:42where she's going, but if you had said 18 months ago that we were
0:12:42 > 0:12:47going to have a two year transition and we would pay 40 billion euros,
0:12:47 > 0:12:52she would have been out of a job within a week.It is step-by-step.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56That is the point. People like Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, the
0:12:56 > 0:13:00idea of Britain handing over billions of pounds is a pretty
0:13:00 > 0:13:03sensitive subject because he went around the country on a bus say we
0:13:03 > 0:13:13would be getting lots money back, but the argument from some on the
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Brexit side is that the UK contribute a net amount of about £10
0:13:15 > 0:13:18billion a year so in that context, yes, £40 billion sounds like a huge
0:13:18 > 0:13:20amount of money but over several years we would have contributed even
0:13:20 > 0:13:26more than that so for some it is the prize at the end that is worth it
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and what Britain and Theresa May really wants now is to get to that
0:13:29 > 0:13:33next stage and start talking about the transition period and then to
0:13:33 > 0:13:39start talking about the future trade deal.Damian, while we have you
0:13:39 > 0:13:42here, we started the programme with the news from Germany and Angela
0:13:42 > 0:13:50Merkel. How do Ho woes at home playing to these negotiations?I
0:13:50 > 0:13:56think they do not at this stage. They sit aside. The negotiations are
0:13:56 > 0:13:59going on in Brussels and the mandate already agreed that Angela Merkel
0:13:59 > 0:14:04and the other EU leaders has been passed to the EU negotiators here
0:14:04 > 0:14:08and they are working according to that. Where it could have an impact
0:14:08 > 0:14:13is down the line in a few weeks or a couple of months. Two or three
0:14:13 > 0:14:18months. If there are still political difficulties in Germany. Even at
0:14:18 > 0:14:22that stage then Angela Merkel would still be, even if she was overseeing
0:14:22 > 0:14:27an election process or something, she would be in a position to take
0:14:27 > 0:14:31significant decisions. Interestingly this evening, in response to what
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Vicky was saying, those ministers that were meeting here in Brussels
0:14:33 > 0:14:38have said that they have called again on the UK to give more precise
0:14:38 > 0:14:44details about what the UK is going to say -- pay, and very soon. They
0:14:44 > 0:14:49are under huge pressure.They want to know what that divorce Bill will
0:14:49 > 0:14:50pay.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Robert Mugabe faces impeachment and the process could be over
0:14:53 > 0:14:54in as little as two days.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The 93-year-old leader has lost the confidence
0:14:56 > 0:14:58of his own Zanu PF party, war veterans, the
0:14:58 > 0:14:59military and students.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02The only real question is why he is so determined to cling
0:15:02 > 0:15:04to power in the face of so much oppostion.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It is now a matter of when not if he will go.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09A draft motion of that impeachment document has been leaked,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and it blames Mr Mugabe for what it calls an unprecedented
0:15:12 > 0:15:13economic tailspin.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18From Harare our Africa editor Fergal Keane.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21At party headquarters, the shreds of better days.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Piece by piece, Robert Mugabe is going.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26His MPs gathered to begin legal process of impeachment,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28removing him from office by Parliamentary vote, and telling
0:15:28 > 0:15:34as it could happen in days.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36We expect the motion to be moved tomorrow,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39a committee to be set up tomorrow, and hopefully by Wednesday we expect
0:15:39 > 0:15:47that we should be able to vote in Parliament.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50In the audience a First Lady in waiting the wife of the man
0:15:50 > 0:15:59whom the party wants as president.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00With your husband become president?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I have not committed on that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Everybody is waiting to see him?
0:16:03 > 0:16:13I am also waiting to see him!
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Thank you very much.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17You can hear the emotions are building here, and this
0:16:17 > 0:16:20is a Parliamentary party set on getting rid of Robert Mugabe.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23They share that ambition with the people of Zimbabwe
0:16:23 > 0:16:24and with the military.
0:16:24 > 0:16:31Listen, when the people have spoken, that is it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The country is still absorbing last night's extraordinary
0:16:33 > 0:16:37presidential speech, with it's soothing musical
0:16:37 > 0:16:39introduction and absence of any talk of resignation.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45He appeared detached from reality, talking about presiding
0:16:45 > 0:16:53over a party congress.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The question is when the generals allow this to happen.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Partly this is to do with a changed Africa.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01The old days of shooting leaders are gone.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02This human rights lawyer was once persecuted
0:17:02 > 0:17:03by Robert Mugabe and imprisoned.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06She says those opposed to him wants to be seen to be
0:17:06 > 0:17:08acting within the law.
0:17:08 > 0:17:16It has always been, you make the law, you justify it on the basis
0:17:16 > 0:17:17that this is the law.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23And this is in line with the Zimbabwean way of doing things.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Give it respectability by making it law.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30However bad it is.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Impeachment is not just about removing Robert Mugabe quickly.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38It's about the quest for legitimacy of those
0:17:38 > 0:17:39who will rule this country next.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Fergal Keane, BBC News, Harare.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49The army chief in Zimbabwe has just held a news conference and he has
0:17:49 > 0:17:59said that Robert Mugabe has agreed to rake the stalemate.We have made
0:17:59 > 0:18:05further consultation with the president to agree on a road map on
0:18:05 > 0:18:11the country. The Zimbabwe defence and security services are encouraged
0:18:11 > 0:18:17by new developments which include conduct between the president and
0:18:17 > 0:18:24the former vice president, comrades Emmerson Mnangagwa. He is expected
0:18:24 > 0:18:30in the country shortly.Watch this space.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32President Trump is increasing pressure on North Korea.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Today he designated the country a state sponsor of terrorism
0:18:34 > 0:18:37and said the US will announce more sanctions tomorrow.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39The move appears to be largely symbolic since the communist state
0:18:39 > 0:18:41is already the most sanctioned in the world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Mr Trump said North Korea should have been added to the short list
0:18:44 > 0:18:47of countries that sponsor terror a long time ago, but in practice
0:18:47 > 0:18:53the US already treats Pyongyang as a pariah.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The United States is designating North Korea as a state sponsor of
0:18:56 > 0:19:02terrorism. This designation will impose further sanctions and
0:19:02 > 0:19:08penalties on North Korea and related persons and it supports our maximum
0:19:08 > 0:19:20pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Jon Sobel is in the studio with us. Is this significant or is it just
0:19:28 > 0:19:36rhetorical? I think it is both. In 1998 North
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Korea was taken of the sponsor of terrorism less because it was seen
0:19:39 > 0:19:43that progress was being made and progress was being made in talks
0:19:43 > 0:19:47about North Korea not getting nuclear weapons. Now, clearly, it is
0:19:47 > 0:19:51a sign that Donald Trump things that is a waste of time. He does want to
0:19:51 > 0:19:56maximise the pressure so let us see what the sanctions are tomorrow. It
0:19:56 > 0:20:00also means that other countries are put under more pressure not to
0:20:00 > 0:20:07trade. It comes after Donald Trump was congratulating other presidents
0:20:07 > 0:20:12on their behaviour according to North Korea. Talking of wire and
0:20:12 > 0:20:15fury of weapons being locked and loaded but there has not been a
0:20:15 > 0:20:20ballistic missile test since that by North Korea so maybe some of this is
0:20:20 > 0:20:26having an impact.The air force commander who is ultimately
0:20:26 > 0:20:31responsible for launching a nuclear strike, he has been speaking in
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Halifax, Nova Scotia, and he was asked the question whether he could
0:20:34 > 0:20:39stop Donald Trump launching a nuclear strike if you disagreed with
0:20:39 > 0:20:43him.The way the process works is simple. I provide advice to
0:20:43 > 0:20:48presidents and he tells me what to do and if it is illegal, guess what
0:20:48 > 0:20:52will happen, I will tell him it is illegal and he will ask me what will
0:20:52 > 0:20:56be illegal and we will come up with options about how the military can
0:20:56 > 0:21:01respond in those situations. That is how it will work and it is not quite
0:21:01 > 0:21:14that complicated.It is the timing and the context of
0:21:18 > 0:21:21what he saying that is important.I think Donald Trump was probably
0:21:21 > 0:21:23slightly less than thrilled to hear one of his air force commander
0:21:23 > 0:21:26saying that if he was given an illegal order by the president he
0:21:26 > 0:21:28would ignore it. I do not think that is the kind of language that
0:21:28 > 0:21:31normally endears you do this president, but it is a sign that
0:21:31 > 0:21:34there are checks and balances in the US system and every now and again
0:21:34 > 0:21:36the people who are those checks and balances to unfettered power will
0:21:36 > 0:21:39sometimes push back and say, look, this is all thought through. Do not
0:21:39 > 0:21:41think that just because there is an unorthodox president in the White
0:21:41 > 0:21:45House that everything has changed. Whether you are the judiciary or the
0:21:45 > 0:21:48legislature or the commanders of the Armed Forces, every now and again
0:21:48 > 0:21:57there has just been a little shoulder barge back in the
0:21:57 > 0:22:00direction, to say, no, there is only so much that we will take.Stay with
0:22:00 > 0:22:01us.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's Thanksgiving week in America, a time the country pauses
0:22:03 > 0:22:04in a moment of gratitude.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Something President Trump seems to feel he's not getting enough of.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Specifically from a group of US basketball players he helped free
0:22:12 > 0:22:13from a Chinese jail.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16In a tweet flurry this weekend, Mr Trump said the father of one
0:22:16 > 0:22:19of the players was so unaccepting of what he'd done that he should
0:22:19 > 0:22:21have left the players in prison.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It is unusual for a President to demand thanks for
0:22:23 > 0:22:24helping Americans abroad.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Why do I even need to say that?!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Why do I even need to say that?!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Perhaps it's his way of winding down ahead of the holiday.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Tomorrow, he heads down to his Mar-a-Lago golf resort
0:22:36 > 0:22:39in Palm Beach for a few days break and he's got bigger things
0:22:39 > 0:22:42than ungrateful basketball players to reflect on while he's there.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Jon is flying down with him.
0:22:47 > 0:22:54Is this just a chance to have a trip on Air Force One and pick up a few
0:22:54 > 0:22:58sweets?Yes. You do not expect me to work, do you? I am just there for
0:22:58 > 0:23:05the sweets!About these basketball players, does Donald Trump write a
0:23:05 > 0:23:09tweet like that and think it will get his critics are the real froth
0:23:09 > 0:23:13with American diplomacy and it is to do with Battersea -- gratitude
0:23:13 > 0:23:18towards the President. Or is he really wondering whether thanks is?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I think it is just instinct. He thinks he has done a great thing and
0:23:22 > 0:23:26people should be writing if to say thank you letters for him. Forget
0:23:26 > 0:23:30the consumer side of it that if you are the head of any country and your
0:23:30 > 0:23:34nation 's citizens are held in prison then broadly speaking
0:23:34 > 0:23:38consular history is that you want to bring them home. It seems now there
0:23:38 > 0:23:41is a new proviso when it that you want to bring them home but only if
0:23:41 > 0:23:46they write a huge thank you letter, and I don't think he calculated if
0:23:46 > 0:23:50it would enrage the liberal media, he just instinctively fired that we
0:23:50 > 0:23:55doubt, knowing it would appeal to his base, which he duly did, and
0:23:55 > 0:23:59probably would enrage liberal media, which it did as well, but I think it
0:23:59 > 0:24:03was instinct rather than calculation that got him to do that. But is part
0:24:03 > 0:24:07of what we have come to expect from Donald Trump, and has the polarising
0:24:07 > 0:24:12effect that you would imagine. I would just say that trying to stand
0:24:12 > 0:24:15back is not part of any representative of any organisation
0:24:15 > 0:24:20that he had a big success story to report from China, that he had three
0:24:20 > 0:24:24people out of potentially a lot of trouble after they had apparently
0:24:24 > 0:24:27gone shoplifting in a store. Success. Why turn into a controversy
0:24:27 > 0:24:35like this?Why India? Questions we often ask about this president at
0:24:35 > 0:24:41the moment.But he likes the chaos. It might also be that his base likes
0:24:41 > 0:24:45the fact that he is tough and he wants to be thanked for something
0:24:45 > 0:24:49that he did but I think, as John says, it is probably not that
0:24:49 > 0:24:52strategic.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54There is one person that Donald Trump is not
0:24:54 > 0:24:55likely to give thanks to.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Actually two.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58One is Barack Obama.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59The other is this man, Chance the Rapper.
0:25:00 > 0:25:08I feel like we are all going to die. Comeback Barack Obama! We want you
0:25:08 > 0:25:19back somehow. I need you in my life. Comeback Barack Obama!I like that.
0:25:19 > 0:25:30This is really about world War. I found that. It was a spoof. It was
0:25:30 > 0:25:36your Thanksgiving gift.People are going to start thing we are trendy
0:25:36 > 0:25:40if we have wrappers on the programme.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News:
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Storms in the Southern Atlantic are hindering the search
0:25:47 > 0:25:49for an Argentinian submarine missing for five days.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52And Lebanon's Prime Minister says he will return home late this week.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53We'll get the story behind his absence.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56That's still to come.
0:25:56 > 0:26:03That's still to come.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Cloudy and damp for many of us today but the lucky few had some sunshine.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17This Weather Watch picture is from Leicestershire earlier and it shows
0:26:17 > 0:26:24a lot of blue sky. It was quite warm in places and Flintshire had
0:26:24 > 0:26:29temperatures up to 17. For many of us it is a dull and misty and murky
0:26:29 > 0:26:31night to come. Rain working through Northern Ireland and northern
0:26:31 > 0:26:35England are pushing into Scotland tonight. A wet start in the central
0:26:35 > 0:26:40belt. In Scotland there is still win triggers over the tops of the hills
0:26:40 > 0:26:45as the wet weather moves in. Tomorrow morning for a large part of
0:26:45 > 0:26:49England and were they will be dry but drizzly and places. Essentially
0:26:49 > 0:26:52dry with plenty of cloud and those temperatures widely into double
0:26:52 > 0:26:57figures. Very mild. In Northern Ireland the overnight rain pulls
0:26:57 > 0:27:00away and poor visibility over the tops of the Pennines. Low Cloutier
0:27:00 > 0:27:04so some of the hills will be shrouded in fog. In Scotland there
0:27:04 > 0:27:08was quite a bit of wet weather to begin the day with surface water and
0:27:08 > 0:27:14snow on the roads. There is not much of an improvement here as the rain
0:27:14 > 0:27:17continues to age its way to the north. A wet day in northern
0:27:17 > 0:27:24Scotland. The rain pushes into Wales and West Dinnington through the day
0:27:24 > 0:27:29and it leaves the central area dry. Writer breaks and if you see the
0:27:29 > 0:27:34sunshine temperatures will be higher. Some outbreaks of rain
0:27:34 > 0:27:38around as we go through Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning and
0:27:38 > 0:27:41through Tuesday into Tuesday night the winds will pick up, initially
0:27:41 > 0:27:49cost the north and west of the UK but widely blustery on Wednesday. In
0:27:49 > 0:27:52camera and Lancashire we could see 50 millimetres of rain or even more
0:27:52 > 0:27:56into the hills and it is the north and west of the UK that sees most of
0:27:56 > 0:28:00the wet weather on Wednesday. Some sunny spells and the south-east and
0:28:00 > 0:28:04we see the highest temperatures here. As we go towards the end of
0:28:04 > 0:28:07the week the isobars are changing direction and going more towards the
0:28:07 > 0:28:12north and the North West. It means colder areas feeding its way back
0:28:12 > 0:28:16south across the UK and into Scotland, Northern Ireland and
0:28:16 > 0:28:21England but on Saturday the colder air should have reached all the way
0:28:21 > 0:28:25south across the UK once again. As that process takes place there will
0:28:25 > 0:28:27be showers around but it will be brighter with the sudden coming
0:28:27 > 0:28:34back.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09This is Beyond 100 Days,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11with me Katty Kay in Washington.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28They currently hold the EU presidency.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Coming up in the next half hour.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Estonia is one of the Baltic states that borders Russia.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's a Nato member.
0:31:11 > 0:31:21Always wary of Moscow's ambitions within the region.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Since the takeover in Crimea, Nato has increased operations
0:31:24 > 0:31:25across mainland Europe.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27There are 4,000 Nato troops in the Baltic States.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29So Europe's security a key theme of Estonia's presidency -
0:31:29 > 0:31:30and of course Brexit.
0:31:30 > 0:31:37Joining us now from Tallinn is the Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41President, thank you for joining us. I was wondering what you were making
0:31:41 > 0:31:49since it is the news of the day from Germany, of the impact of Angela
0:31:49 > 0:31:58Merkel's coalition talks falling apart on European stability.Good
0:31:58 > 0:32:04evening, I would trust German people and German democracy to find the
0:32:04 > 0:32:09best possible solution for German people and also for Europe. I am
0:32:09 > 0:32:14sure they are capable of finding what is best for the future of
0:32:14 > 0:32:23Germany.On other stories, since you now have the presidency of the EU
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Council, the question of how much Britain should pay in its divorce
0:32:28 > 0:32:32bill on the Brexit negotiations, where do you fall on this? Do you
0:32:32 > 0:32:35have a number in mind, is there something you would push Britain to
0:32:35 > 0:32:47give?The European Union Council Presidency has in this process one
0:32:47 > 0:32:53responsibility, to organise a summit of heads of states on the proposal
0:32:53 > 0:32:56of chief negotiator Michel Barnier to discuss whether sufficient
0:32:56 > 0:33:02progress has been achieved. We do not have too come up with a concrete
0:33:02 > 0:33:07proposal, nevertheless, I would say we are hoping there will be a
0:33:07 > 0:33:11complete proposal from the British side on the table in the next couple
0:33:11 > 0:33:17of weeks because that would be the last chance to find a possibility to
0:33:17 > 0:33:23declare sufficient progress. It would make us happy to have moved
0:33:23 > 0:33:27forward with this process, but it is not in our hands.Theresa May has
0:33:27 > 0:33:35made it clear security particularly for the Baltic countries is not at
0:33:35 > 0:33:40stake in the Brexit negotiations, but you must be somewhat fearful if
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Britain is pressed too hard, they might walk away from the table and
0:33:45 > 0:33:48countries in Eastern Europe want a close relationship with Europe and
0:33:48 > 0:33:56particularly Britain's military.All European nations want to have a
0:33:56 > 0:34:00close relationship with Great Britain. We were very sorry and sad
0:34:00 > 0:34:06to learn the news that there has been a vote for Brexit, but it was
0:34:06 > 0:34:11the decision of the British people and it will not ruin the
0:34:11 > 0:34:15relationship between our country and Great Britain. If I come to the
0:34:15 > 0:34:22question of Nato troops in Estonia, it cannot be looked at in this way
0:34:22 > 0:34:27that Nato is protecting the Baltic states, or UK troops are here to
0:34:27 > 0:34:32protect Baltic states. You cannot divide security. It is Nato
0:34:32 > 0:34:39territory and we as a country have put up 0.2% of GDP to provide cross
0:34:39 > 0:34:45nation support and we are grateful for the UK to be our framework
0:34:45 > 0:34:52nation and grateful for French and Danish soldiers wearing the armband
0:34:52 > 0:35:02for our allies, I am, now stationed. The issue is Brexit. And Nato
0:35:02 > 0:35:08business cannot be connected.Put that into perspective for viewers.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Is it a concern for people in Estonia the ambitions of President
0:35:11 > 0:35:22Putin?Estonian people know that Nato has 100% track record in
0:35:22 > 0:35:26protecting its territory and in this sense it is not a concern, but we
0:35:26 > 0:35:33are concerned we have a neighbour who is acting unpredictably on the
0:35:33 > 0:35:38international scene, who does not respect the signatures on documents
0:35:38 > 0:35:42it has signed, such as the Budapest agreement, which should have
0:35:42 > 0:35:48protected Ukraine, and we are concerned for the future of Russian
0:35:48 > 0:35:52people and economic security and democratic processes in Russia, but
0:35:52 > 0:35:58no, we are not afraid.President, thank you.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01China has called for a ceasefire in Myanmar's Rakhine state,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05to allow the return of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims
0:36:05 > 0:36:09who've fled the area.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Some 600,000 Muslim Rohingyas have fled Myanmar's Rakhine

0:36:14 > 0:36:19China has a number of important infrastructure projects in Myanmar.
0:36:19 > 0:36:25The Iraqi authorities have been shedding light on their plans

0:36:26 > 0:36:28They were captures as the Islamic State group was crushed
0:36:28 > 0:36:30in the north of the country.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33More than a thousand women and children will be expelled
0:36:33 > 0:36:34to their countries of origin.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Most of those involved are believed to be from Turkey,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Russia and former Soviet states.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39The convicted cult leader Charles Manson -
0:36:39 > 0:36:42who orchestrated a series of notorious murders in the 1960s -
0:36:42 > 0:36:43has died in prison in California.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45He was 83.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47In August 1969, members of his group killed seven people -
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Manson believed the murders would start a race war,
0:36:50 > 0:36:55allowing him to seize power
0:36:55 > 0:37:01When will Saad Hariri fly back to Lebanon?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03The Prime Minister resigned from his post three weeks ago
0:37:03 > 0:37:05while on a visit to Saudi Arabia.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10Rumours have been circulating that he was pressured to resign
0:37:10 > 0:37:12and was held in Riyadh against his will -
0:37:12 > 0:37:13which he has denied.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Last week the president of Lebanonsaid he would only accept
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Last week the president of Lebanon said he would only accept
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Mr Hariri's resignation if it was delivered in person
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Mr Hariri flew to Paris this weekend.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25He heads to Egypt tomorrow where he will meet with President Al-Sisi.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31The latest news is that he will travel back to Lebanon on Wednesday.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35We can speak to our Chief International Correspondent,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Lyse Doucet - she's in Riyadh. International Correspondent,
0:37:38 > 0:37:38I International Correspondent,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39I thought International Correspondent,
0:37:39 > 0:37:39I thought he International Correspondent,
0:37:39 > 0:37:39I thought he was International Correspondent,
0:37:39 > 0:37:39I thought he was going International Correspondent,
0:37:39 > 0:37:39I thought he was going to International Correspondent,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I thought he was going to return International Correspondent,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I thought he was going to return last week but seemingly he has
0:37:43 > 0:37:51another trip in the offing to Egypt this time.Interestingly, it has
0:37:51 > 0:37:56become like President Trump, we only know what Mr Hariri wants to do by
0:37:56 > 0:38:00his Twitter account and he said last week he would return to Lebanon in
0:38:00 > 0:38:06the coming days and when he reached Paris and have that lunch meeting
0:38:06 > 0:38:08with President Macron, that is where he announced he would be returning
0:38:08 > 0:38:16to Lebanon on for Independence Day. He is preparing the ground well and
0:38:16 > 0:38:22no doubt he has heard from advisers now he has met them. They prepared
0:38:22 > 0:38:27the greatest welcome and an unexpected consequence is that more
0:38:27 > 0:38:32popular in Lebanon before the crisis began. He said when he gets home, he
0:38:32 > 0:38:36will make his situation known. A lot of people waiting to find out what
0:38:36 > 0:38:44that means.It is the first time we have spoken to you since there was
0:38:44 > 0:38:51an arrest of a bunch of people in Riyadh and as you are in the capital
0:38:51 > 0:38:55of Saudi Arabia, I wonder what you're feeling is about the
0:38:55 > 0:38:59reaction. There has been nervousness to his movements in Washington.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03There seems to be the region with so many
0:39:08 > 0:39:17-- with so many mysteries. On a day widely seen as the forced
0:39:17 > 0:39:22resignation of Mr Hariri announced in Riyadh, was also the day the
0:39:22 > 0:39:25crown prince unleashed his spectacular anti-corruption drive,
0:39:25 > 0:39:33which has been widely seen as a move against opponents and rivals as the
0:39:33 > 0:39:38same time he moved against billionaires, former government
0:39:38 > 0:39:43officials who got the sack and they are being held in a gilded prison in
0:39:43 > 0:39:46five 5-star luxury hotels here and we saw the economy minister and he
0:39:46 > 0:39:55said it was in the investigators and investigations continue and there
0:39:55 > 0:40:00has been talk about deals whereby if they give up what could be called
0:40:00 > 0:40:07ill gotten gains, they will buy their way out of freedom. One person
0:40:07 > 0:40:12said it could be the equivalent of discovering a new oilfield, by
0:40:12 > 0:40:16moving against what is a small sample of people part of the
0:40:16 > 0:40:22anti-corruption drive.He does this with the backing of the Americans. I
0:40:22 > 0:40:28am told there are Americans in Washington who are concerned,
0:40:28 > 0:40:34because as he gets rid of the opposition around him, suddenly they
0:40:34 > 0:40:37are starting to worry may be Saudi Arabia could push limits and maybe
0:40:37 > 0:40:47launch an attack?There are many voices coming out of Washington.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52When I saw the Saudi Foreign Minister I said who are you
0:40:52 > 0:40:55listening to, going by the tweet from President Trump in which he
0:40:55 > 0:40:59announced the Saudis know what they are doing, giving backing to the
0:40:59 > 0:41:06crown prince and the king, all by the press releases from the State
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Department, with Rex Tillerson warning Iran and Saudi Arabia not to
0:41:09 > 0:41:15use Lebanon as a playing field. You have heard before the tension
0:41:15 > 0:41:20between different sides of the American administration, but there
0:41:20 > 0:41:25is no doubt the Saudi authorities feel empowered by the Trump
0:41:25 > 0:41:28administration and they see eye to eye when it comes to the main threat
0:41:28 > 0:41:35in the region. In their minds the threat posed by Iran. They want
0:41:35 > 0:41:38stability and more certainty for Saudi Arabia. They want to know what
0:41:38 > 0:41:44will happen as the corruption drive on folds and what kind of strategy
0:41:44 > 0:41:49is the crown prince pushing across the region. It is more assertive and
0:41:49 > 0:41:55for some minds, too aggressive.On this issue, particularly of Iran, is
0:41:55 > 0:42:00it something you have heard around the region, that we are in that
0:42:00 > 0:42:05position because checks and balances have gone and activities in Yemen,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09with the possibility of military action with Iran and Saudi Arabia
0:42:09 > 0:42:15has increased?There is always the risk of war in this region and more
0:42:15 > 0:42:21always the risk of the accidental tumbling into war, when you have so
0:42:21 > 0:42:27many playing fields and proxy wars of folding, with Iraq, Syria, Yemen,
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Lebanon, the Persian Gulf. The mix of an accidental confrontation that
0:42:32 > 0:42:37could quickly escalate but judging by what we have seen, after the
0:42:37 > 0:42:42forced resignation of Mr Hariri, people asked, who will be part of
0:42:42 > 0:42:51the new offensive against Lebanon, and we quickly heard soundings from
0:42:51 > 0:42:55Israel and the United States that they did not want another war, they
0:42:55 > 0:42:59did not want to fight this militarily and the question is how
0:42:59 > 0:43:03they will fight it, through trade sanctions, financial sanctions? Will
0:43:03 > 0:43:14it be a Qatar like blockade. Already imposed on Qatar. All of the pieces
0:43:14 > 0:43:17have been thrown up in the air and nobody is sure how they will come
0:43:17 > 0:43:22down.The pieces thrown up in the air. An interesting time in that
0:43:22 > 0:43:24region. Thank you.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26The Argentinian navy says a submarine that's been missing
0:43:26 > 0:43:28for five days had reported a mechanical problem
0:43:28 > 0:43:30in its final communication.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33It was told to change course and go to Mar del Plata but was lost
0:43:33 > 0:43:34from satellite somewhere en route.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36There are 44 crew members on board.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40The United States, Britain and Brazil are involved in the search.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43They are focusing on a patch of ocean about 300 kilometres wide,
0:43:43 > 0:43:45around the point of last contact.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48It is an undulating ocean floor, so anything from a few
0:43:48 > 0:43:52hundred metres to over a thousand metres deep.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54The German-built sub disappeared in bad weather on Wednesday.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56In fact, these pictures from the Argentinian navy show
0:43:56 > 0:44:01you just how big the waves still are in that area.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04We are told the sub has enough oxygen to last around ten
0:44:04 > 0:44:05days without surfacing.
0:44:05 > 0:44:12So this is still a search and rescue operation.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Eric Wertheim is a naval analyst, and author of the Naval Institute's
0:44:15 > 0:44:21Guide to Combat Fleets of The World.
0:44:21 > 0:44:26He joins us from Washington. Give us a sense of what the chances are of
0:44:26 > 0:44:31finding the submarine.It is a very tense situation because the weather
0:44:31 > 0:44:38is hampering the situation. The biggest difficulty is where the
0:44:38 > 0:44:42submarine is, and that is the biggest challenge. There are
0:44:42 > 0:44:47different scenarios involved if the submarine can be located but the
0:44:47 > 0:44:50biggest challenges locating it so they can figure out what the problem
0:44:50 > 0:44:55is and how to respond and each minute and our that goes by, the
0:44:55 > 0:45:02chances decrease if they cannot find the submarine.The Argentine navy is
0:45:02 > 0:45:06saying there is oxygen for ten days and it has been out of contact five
0:45:06 > 0:45:10days but I understand it that every time a sailor takes a breath, it
0:45:10 > 0:45:16diminishes the supply of oxygen? Exactly, and there are other issues
0:45:16 > 0:45:22that could contribute to oxygen issues. If there were a fire on
0:45:22 > 0:45:30board, or anything like that, they could use up a vast amount of
0:45:30 > 0:45:34oxygen. Hopefully that is not the situation and this is just a
0:45:34 > 0:45:40submarine that is waiting for a rescue attempt. As time goes by, it
0:45:40 > 0:45:45gets less likely they will find it, so everyone is aware and working as
0:45:45 > 0:45:49quickly as they can to figure out the location of the submarine.We
0:45:49 > 0:45:58were told it had a problem when it was diverted. The chances of
0:45:58 > 0:46:03survival, how dependent is it on where they finished up on the ocean
0:46:03 > 0:46:07floor, the pressure on the submarine itself, and how easy it would be to
0:46:07 > 0:46:12get them out if they found?The submarine has an operating depth of
0:46:12 > 0:46:19about 1000 feet and if it is below that it will not be survival much
0:46:19 > 0:46:33below that because the pressure is so intense, the hull cannot survive.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36There are different methods of deeper rescues. There are rescue
0:46:36 > 0:46:42chambers that can be a drop-down. Or individual rescue systems that can
0:46:42 > 0:46:51go deep but the first problem is locating the submarine.It brings
0:46:51 > 0:46:57back echoes of the Russian submarine the Kirsk that went missing and the
0:46:57 > 0:47:03race against time.Unfortunately, that was a sad situation and not
0:47:03 > 0:47:07helped by the lack of request by Russia for international assistance
0:47:07 > 0:47:12and because of that, by the time the British and Norwegian teams got to
0:47:12 > 0:47:18the Kirsk, it was already too late. Hopefully that is not the situation.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22Argentina seems to have asked for international support early, but
0:47:22 > 0:47:27this is different in they are not fully aware of the location so it
0:47:27 > 0:47:32will be finding a needle in a haystack but there is a lot of
0:47:32 > 0:47:35equipment coming to bear to help with mapping the area to get a
0:47:35 > 0:47:41picture of whereabouts the submarine could be.Thank you.
0:47:41 > 0:47:46Such a terrifying idea, these people being in this submarine and the
0:47:46 > 0:47:48oxygen supply is diminishing every day.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49This is Beyond 100 Days.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Still to come - Why is giving birth getting more dangerous
0:47:52 > 0:47:54in the United States, when it's getting safer
0:47:54 > 0:47:58almost everywhere else?
0:47:58 > 0:48:01The world of tennis has been paying tribute to one of the sports most
0:48:01 > 0:48:05The world of tennis has been paying tribute to one of the sport's most
0:48:05 > 0:48:07popular personalities - the former Wimbledon singles
0:48:07 > 0:48:08champion Jana Novotna, who's died of cancer
0:48:08 > 0:48:10at the age of 49.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12The All-England Club described the Czech player as "a true champion
0:48:12 > 0:48:14in all senses of the word".
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Our sports correspondent David Ornstein looks back at her life.
0:48:16 > 0:48:25It is one of Wimbledon's most enduring images.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29Jana Novotna may have lost the '93 final but she won a shoulder to cry
0:48:29 > 0:48:31on from the Duchess of Kent and the hearts of
0:48:31 > 0:48:33the British public.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38She just told me, Jana, you will do it.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40I believe one day you will do it.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41And I just became very emotional.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43It was very nice.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47I appreciated it, what she said.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Novotna finished runner-up again in 1997, but a year later
0:48:50 > 0:49:00she finally won the trophy.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03News of her death has been met with a mixture of shock
0:49:03 > 0:49:05and an outpouring of tributes.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09I can only describe her as a ruthless competitor
0:49:09 > 0:49:11on the court but utterly sweet and charming off it.
0:49:11 > 0:49:12She was such a warm person.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16Always very friendly.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20She would come up and smile and give you a couple kisses.
0:49:20 > 0:49:28She was really loved by everyone.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30She right-hander rose to prominence in the early '90s
0:49:30 > 0:49:32and went on to become one
0:49:32 > 0:49:33of the most exciting, popular and successful
0:49:33 > 0:49:37players of her generation.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40She was back on the lawns of Wimbledon as recently as 2016,
0:49:40 > 0:49:43rolling back the years in the invitational mixed doubles.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45But Novotna will always be remembered for the tears
0:49:45 > 0:49:49and then the triumph, refusing to let the setbacks
0:49:49 > 0:49:52keep her down, eventually coming out on top and writing her name
0:49:52 > 0:50:02into history with a smile.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:50:08 > 0:50:14It's now much safer to give birth - and the good news is globally
0:50:14 > 0:50:16the number of women dying of pregnancy or childbirth has
0:50:16 > 0:50:19nearly halved in 25 years.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22But perhaps the surprising exception is the United States.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Our North America correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports from Texas,
0:50:24 > 0:50:32where the maternal mortality rate is rising dramatically.
0:50:32 > 0:50:37Dominique Shepherd was a fashion designer and businesswoman. Last
0:50:37 > 0:50:41year shortly after giving birth to her son in a maternity ward in
0:50:41 > 0:50:45Texas, she bled to death.My daughter was perfectly healthy,
0:50:45 > 0:50:53perfectly fine. Mentally and physically she was perfectly fine.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57Yet she did in that hospital. Doctors came in to tell the family
0:50:57 > 0:51:01they had done what they could, but Dominique suffered massive blood
0:51:01 > 0:51:11loss and could not be saved.All you people and my daughter did. I could
0:51:11 > 0:51:20not understand it.Dominique's son Colin is one of the staggering
0:51:20 > 0:51:24number of American children who will never get to know their mothers. As
0:51:24 > 0:51:29the rate of women dying of pregnancy and childbirth related courses has
0:51:29 > 0:51:33decreased in the rest of the developed world, in the last 20
0:51:33 > 0:51:38years it has gone up dramatically in the US. How does this happen in a
0:51:38 > 0:51:43place like Texas? Campaigners see a link between the fact the state has
0:51:43 > 0:51:47the worst record on maternal mortality and it has the highest
0:51:47 > 0:51:54proportion of people without health insurance. For them it is about
0:51:54 > 0:51:58access to medical care.Government officials disagree. I don't believe
0:51:58 > 0:52:03that is true. I think the underlying trend for increasing chronic disease
0:52:03 > 0:52:08in this country, throughout the entire country, is the fundamental
0:52:08 > 0:52:16underlying cause for the increase in maternal morbidity across the
0:52:16 > 0:52:26nation.Those who worked with pregnant mothers like Darlene Fink
0:52:26 > 0:52:31access to health care is definitely a big part of the problem. And there
0:52:31 > 0:52:37is massive racial disparity also.We are looking at the fact African
0:52:37 > 0:52:40American women are dying at three times the rate. We have to look at
0:52:40 > 0:52:45what is it about this group specifically? Is there a racial
0:52:45 > 0:52:52component? People want to talk about it. We are post-racial. We had a
0:52:52 > 0:52:56black president.But our numbers do not bear it out. That can only
0:52:56 > 0:53:00partly be explained by access to health care. Officials say they need
0:53:00 > 0:53:05more time to explain the rest. But things are only getting worse and
0:53:05 > 0:53:10the fee is without a sense of urgency, more American women will
0:53:10 > 0:53:15die before there is a plan in place to address the problem.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Extraordinary statistics.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20What do you talk about after 70 years of marriage?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Tonight the Queen and Prince Philip will celebrate their platinum
0:53:23 > 0:53:26wedding anniversary with a quiet, private dinner at Windsor Castle.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29With, I am sure, more than enough memories to fuel the conversation.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Extraordinary to think they have been together since 1947.
0:53:32 > 0:53:42Here's a look down memory lane, with a little a bit of Vera Lynn.
0:53:42 > 0:53:49# When you are in love. # It is the loveliest night of the
0:53:49 > 0:54:00year.The king and queen announced that the betrothal of their dear
0:54:00 > 0:54:02beloved daughter to Lieutenant Philip mambo.
0:54:07 > 0:54:16-- Philip Mountbatten.I am so happy that my future husband Philip is by
0:54:16 > 0:54:29my side.A song my wife place to be every night I come home.
0:54:29 > 0:54:36Not! What planet do you live? Those photographs at the end were taken by
0:54:36 > 0:54:44the celebrity photographer. Look at Prince Philip's face. But knowing
0:54:44 > 0:54:54look of the husband. Apparently the brooch she is wearing was given to
0:54:54 > 0:55:04her by Prince Philip in 1966. Do you know what she gave him for their
0:55:04 > 0:55:0870th anniversary? A special royal honour. That night grand cross of
0:55:08 > 0:55:15the Royal Victorian order. When you are looking for a present for your
0:55:15 > 0:55:31wife when you have been marriage -- been married 70 years... -- the
0:55:31 > 0:55:35Knight.. Incredible to think their were more than 100 nations that did
0:55:35 > 0:55:41not exist when the Queen came to the throne. And Prince Philip Stott
0:55:41 > 0:55:43happy anniversary to them both.
0:55:43 > 0:55:50A look ahead to tomorrow's show.
0:55:50 > 0:55:59We will be joined by an author. Good cold War spy stuff. Christian spent
0:55:59 > 0:56:01his weekend in France reading.
