0:01:20 > 0:01:27soundtrack to diplomacy. Get in touch with us using the hashtag.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Key American allies are warning President Trump not to move the US
0:01:40 > 0:01:44embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. We expect the announcement from the
0:01:44 > 0:01:46White House tomorrow and it is already prompting concerns
0:01:46 > 0:01:50internationally, a move fraught with political conversations. Donald
0:01:50 > 0:01:57Trump has been engaged in extensive telephone diplomacy, calling leaders
0:01:57 > 0:02:01from the region. France and Iraq have warned against the plan but it
0:02:01 > 0:02:05looks likely the US president will recognise Jerusalem as Israel's
0:02:05 > 0:02:09capital. Joining us now, North America editor, John Sobel. Why is
0:02:09 > 0:02:13he doing this now, he has so many issues on his plate internationally,
0:02:13 > 0:02:22it is not an issue you hear the base talking about?He has long made a
0:02:22 > 0:02:25pledge, he said he wanted to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Jerusalem in his campaign.-- Jon Sopel.He said he wanted to
0:02:30 > 0:02:33recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. A lot of people I have
0:02:33 > 0:02:36spoken to who have been part of the thinking process, they say he
0:02:36 > 0:02:41started with a very limited amount of knowledge, has been a steep
0:02:41 > 0:02:45climbing curve to get him to this point, but it looks like he wants to
0:02:45 > 0:02:49go ahead with making good on the pledge. And it is bringing an
0:02:49 > 0:02:53extraordinarily response back, some of which you have outlined. He spoke
0:02:53 > 0:02:59with the Jordanian king, the speaking with the Jordanians, it
0:02:59 > 0:03:06will undermine efforts to the peace process, and inflaming Muslims and
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Christians alike. Saudi Arabia has said it will have a detrimental
0:03:11 > 0:03:14effect. The arrow bleak, dangerous measure that would have
0:03:14 > 0:03:18repercussions. In the past, Donald Trump has ignored warnings like
0:03:18 > 0:03:22that, about America in the climate change deal. Will he ignore all
0:03:22 > 0:03:26these warnings? That is what we don't know.Who is it in America
0:03:26 > 0:03:31pushing him to do this?A sizeable lobby has wanted this measure to be
0:03:31 > 0:03:35taken back, the eight pack group, the pro-Israel lobby, is behind
0:03:35 > 0:03:39this. -- Apac. And many Christian groups are very supportive of Israel
0:03:39 > 0:03:44and feel it is an important message that must be sent, but against all
0:03:44 > 0:03:50that, he will be totally aware of just how many people are saying this
0:03:50 > 0:03:54is a dangerous move, the status of Jerusalem, what happens after you
0:03:54 > 0:03:58have negotiated a settlement, not before.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04A man riding point on this, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a man who
0:04:04 > 0:04:11is not exactly steeped in foreign policy experience.Know, one of the
0:04:11 > 0:04:15more eyebrow raising things that we got to learn about when Donald Trump
0:04:15 > 0:04:21said his son-in-law would deliver the ultimate deal of peace in the
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Middle East. As I say, I have heard from people who have been in
0:04:25 > 0:04:27conversations with him, that he is immensely charming but when
0:04:27 > 0:04:32questioned on the detail of Middle East peace policy, he can become
0:04:32 > 0:04:36rather brittle and does not want to get involved in some of the detailed
0:04:36 > 0:04:40conversations about it. This is an immensely thorny issue that
0:04:40 > 0:04:43diplomats around the world and in America have been trying to deal
0:04:43 > 0:04:47with, ever since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948 and they
0:04:47 > 0:04:51come back to some of the same issues every time. What happens to the US
0:04:51 > 0:04:56embassy? What happens to work the capital is situated? Those issues
0:04:56 > 0:05:02are not easy to resolve.Those are crucial issues indeed, the thoughts
0:05:02 > 0:05:06of our Middle East correspondent now, from Jerusalem, on why this is
0:05:06 > 0:05:09such a sensitive issue for both sides.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Israel sees Jerusalem as its eternal undivided capital, it has long been
0:05:14 > 0:05:18a source of frustration that there is not recognition of its full is
0:05:18 > 0:05:26referring to over the city. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as
0:05:26 > 0:05:29the future independent state's capital. It has been the consensus
0:05:29 > 0:05:34for a long time that the status of the city should be decided in a
0:05:34 > 0:05:38negotiated peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. -- that there
0:05:38 > 0:05:44is not recognition of sovereignty. It was captured in the Middle East
0:05:44 > 0:05:48war, annexed in a move that is not recognised internationally, so that
0:05:48 > 0:05:54is all the sensitivities, and at the moment, all countries that have an
0:05:54 > 0:05:58embassy in Israel, they keep them in or close to Tel Aviv and have
0:05:58 > 0:06:04consulates in Jerusalem, this is a big departure by Donald Trump.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Joining us now, Dennis Ross, served as Middle East adviser to multiple
0:06:07 > 0:06:14administrations, now at the Washington Institute for
0:06:14 > 0:06:17International responsibility, are these mutually is elusive, advancing
0:06:17 > 0:06:23the peace process and moving the embassy to Jerusalem.Not
0:06:23 > 0:06:27necessarily but it depends upon how it is done, if it is done as though
0:06:27 > 0:06:31it is a move that will be made over time, number one, if it is done in a
0:06:31 > 0:06:34way that the president says clearly, this is not prejudging the final
0:06:34 > 0:06:42status of the city, that still must be negotiated, the ancient
0:06:42 > 0:06:44boundaries, Palestinian claims, all that must be resolved in
0:06:44 > 0:06:52negotiations. If he frames the issue that way, we can manage it then.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54We'll have to see what he says when he makes the announcement but there
0:06:54 > 0:06:59are concerns among Palestinians that this looks like President Trump has
0:06:59 > 0:07:06accepted the Israelis position on one of the key final status issues.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10There is no issue more sensitive or provocative than Jerusalem. The
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Palestinians... They cannot appear to be conceding the issue of
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Jerusalem without ever having had a chance to, in a sense, make their
0:07:19 > 0:07:24case, in negotiations, ensuring their position is represented.I am
0:07:24 > 0:07:30an old cynic(!) armour king salmon of Saudi Arabia, tells Donald Trump
0:07:30 > 0:07:34that transferring the US embassy to Jerusalem is a dangerous step that
0:07:34 > 0:07:38would inflame feelings... And yet, Jared Kushner, on the ground, spent
0:07:38 > 0:07:42a lot of time with the Crown Prince, there is no way, surely, that the
0:07:42 > 0:07:46United States would take a decision like this without Saudi Arabia being
0:07:46 > 0:07:50involved. That is the line we get from Reuters news agency.It would
0:07:50 > 0:07:54be shocking to say the least if the US make this decision without
0:07:54 > 0:07:59running it by the Saudis in advance. It is quite possible that in fact,
0:07:59 > 0:08:04when Jared Kushner was seeing the Crown prince, that this issue was
0:08:04 > 0:08:09not joined. One of the best ways to ensure that you manage this issue
0:08:09 > 0:08:14would have been in a sense to preview it and refute it in advance
0:08:14 > 0:08:20with all your Arabic partners. And basically, elicit what would be
0:08:20 > 0:08:23their suggestions about how to frame this decision, give them time
0:08:23 > 0:08:27themselves to adjust to it and create a public posture on it which
0:08:27 > 0:08:31allows them to have an explanation. What you do not want to do with the
0:08:31 > 0:08:35arrogant and especially the Saudis is denied them their cover on an
0:08:35 > 0:08:40issue that is so sensitive to them. You do not want to put them into a
0:08:40 > 0:08:43position where they have to walk away from us, because we will need
0:08:43 > 0:08:46them in any effort that is designed to break the stalemate between
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Israelis and Palestinians.We should not underestimate how dangerous this
0:08:52 > 0:08:56is, according to reports in the Washington Post, the word has gone
0:08:56 > 0:09:02out to embassies in the region that they need to increase security.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Again, did not quite hear that... There are concerns in US embassies
0:09:05 > 0:09:11around the world about security as a response to this announcement.I
0:09:11 > 0:09:16think that it is a prudent course of action, to put yourself in a
0:09:16 > 0:09:19position where you anticipate that there could be an effort by the
0:09:19 > 0:09:23enemies of peace to miss portray this and suggest that in fact, this
0:09:23 > 0:09:29is already conceding all giving the issue of Jerusalem away, taking away
0:09:29 > 0:09:34from the arrows what they see as being a core interests of various.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38It is not surprising that some may try to foment backlash and violence
0:09:38 > 0:09:41against it, it is a prudent course to ensure security measures have
0:09:41 > 0:09:48been taken.Thank you very much for coming in. Countries around the
0:09:48 > 0:09:50world often say this issue is terribly important to them, as you
0:09:50 > 0:09:54were suggesting, not always as important as they might suggest. In
0:09:54 > 0:09:59the course of this programme, we will talk about a couple of thorny
0:09:59 > 0:10:05issues, Middle East peace process, Middle East, and also Ireland and
0:10:05 > 0:10:10the Northern Irish issue, two issues which we may have thought would have
0:10:10 > 0:10:14been resolved over the course of the last decade(!) but which are still
0:10:14 > 0:10:19with us and still cause an enormous amount of headaches!It is we only
0:10:19 > 0:10:22have one hour here, how long do we have...LAUGHTER.
0:10:22 > 0:10:32To deal with these...
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Some Russian athletes who can prove that they are clean will be able to
0:10:40 > 0:10:45appear in South Korea, under a neutral flag.Thanks sponsored
0:10:45 > 0:10:49doping at the Sochi Olympics.The president of the International
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Olympic committee has delivered the decision at a press conference just
0:10:53 > 0:10:58a short time ago.Russian Olympic community is suspended with
0:10:58 > 0:11:06immediate effect. Clean Russian athletes will be able to participate
0:11:06 > 0:11:14at the Winter Olympics under strict conditions in 2018. These invited
0:11:14 > 0:11:20athletes will participate in individual or team competitions
0:11:20 > 0:11:30under the name Olympic athlete from Russia. They will have the acronym,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34OAR and they will compete with a uniform bearing this name and under
0:11:34 > 0:11:42the Olympic flag. The Olympic anthem will be played in any ceremony. No
0:11:42 > 0:11:46official of the Russian Ministry of sport will be accredited for the
0:11:46 > 0:11:58Olympic Winter games in 2018.I'm joined by a correspondent from the
0:11:58 > 0:12:05BBC's Russia network, those who pass the drugs test, presumably, they
0:12:05 > 0:12:09will compete as Olympic athlete from Russia... How will that go down at
0:12:09 > 0:12:17home?It is hard to know what will happen. We are awaiting reaction
0:12:17 > 0:12:20from the Kremlin, even though it is quite late in Russia. I guess, if
0:12:20 > 0:12:24the decision will be taken, and there is a possibility that Russia
0:12:24 > 0:12:28may decide to boycott the games, of course there will be a lot of
0:12:28 > 0:12:32pressure on individual athletes to follow that decision. Of course, at
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the same time, if you athletes before the decision was taken have
0:12:35 > 0:12:45said that they are eager and ready to compete under a neutral flag.Did
0:12:45 > 0:12:47that at the World Championships. Exactly, some received harsh
0:12:47 > 0:12:51criticism at home, others said they are doing the right thing, but
0:12:51 > 0:12:56whichever decision is going to be taken by the Kremlin, there will be
0:12:56 > 0:13:01a lot of pressure on each athlete. I'm just reading here, from the
0:13:01 > 0:13:04president of the Russian Bobsleigh Federation, he has told Reuters he
0:13:04 > 0:13:08is shocked, Russian state television has already said they will not show
0:13:08 > 0:13:13the Winter Olympics in Russia... Does this kind of a ruling by the
0:13:13 > 0:13:17IOC to say certain amount of embarrassment, does it leads to the
0:13:17 > 0:13:22decision that we ought to change the way we treat athlete and the doping
0:13:22 > 0:13:28issue?At the moment, I would say, mostly, it produces outrage, people
0:13:28 > 0:13:31are furious, state television uses harsh words, describing the
0:13:31 > 0:13:39situation... Actually, this was the main active which was given by state
0:13:39 > 0:13:43television over the past few months, they have said, old allegations are
0:13:43 > 0:13:53no evidence behind it, all politics. They keep repeating those words.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Popular opinion needs to that side rather than thinking, what would
0:13:56 > 0:14:12have happened, and their reaction -- and, at the moment, the man whose
0:14:12 > 0:14:15whistle-blowing taught us a lot about Russian doping techniques, he
0:14:15 > 0:14:22is called a traitor.Thank you very much for joining us.
0:14:24 > 0:14:34One of the mysteries of the Senate race in Alabama has been why
0:14:34 > 0:14:37evangelicals are so keen to stick with the Republican
0:14:37 > 0:14:38candidate Roy Moore.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40After all he's been accused by 8 women of sexually harassing them
0:14:41 > 0:14:42when they were teenagers,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44one of the women says she was just 14.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So how do evangelical voters square these accusations
0:14:46 > 0:14:47with their own faith?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What's their argument for sticking with a candidate who's accused
0:14:49 > 0:14:50of molesting a child?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53The BBC's Barbara Plett Usher has been to Alabama to find out.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56On a Sunday morning in Alabama, almost everyone goes to church, and
0:14:56 > 0:14:58more than half the state's Christians are white evangelical
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Christians, they see it as holding the line against moral decay. But,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05they are standing with Roy Moore, despite allegations of immoral
0:15:05 > 0:15:14behaviour. Karen is a long-time supporter, the accusations of sexual
0:15:14 > 0:15:17misconduct sound to her like a political smear campaign, coming as
0:15:17 > 0:15:23they did one month before the Senate election.I think people are trying
0:15:23 > 0:15:27to label him as a paedophile, that word is trying to spread like
0:15:27 > 0:15:32wildfire, and I do not believe it. Would you change your support for
0:15:32 > 0:15:37him if they turned out to be true? If there was proof.But the way you
0:15:37 > 0:15:40describe it...There cannot be proved. There cannot be proved,
0:15:40 > 0:15:46unless he admitted it, I guess.He certainly has not, in effect calling
0:15:46 > 0:15:50the victims liars, is using the pulpits to issue the denials.Let's
0:15:50 > 0:15:54have a word of prayer.They are not looking for proof here because he's
0:15:54 > 0:15:58one of their own, a champion of their fight against issues like
0:15:58 > 0:16:04abortion and sex marriage.If you are going to be public in your
0:16:04 > 0:16:08endorsement of Jesus, expect opposition.-- same-sex marriage. He
0:16:08 > 0:16:13believes political power is needed to restore America's Christian
0:16:13 > 0:16:17groups.We have seen this country going to the left, leaving things it
0:16:17 > 0:16:21never did the first 200 years of this country's existence, a lot of
0:16:21 > 0:16:25that is fed by Hollywood and things like that. He's one of the few that
0:16:25 > 0:16:30I have met, that I have voted for, that you can count on, when he gets
0:16:30 > 0:16:35in there, that he will do what he said he would do.Roy Moore has a
0:16:35 > 0:16:38loyal following here in the bible belt, the reputation as a crusader
0:16:38 > 0:16:42for traditional values, but there are plenty in Alabama who say he is
0:16:42 > 0:16:46not there are kind of question. A diverse coalition of Christian
0:16:46 > 0:16:50leaders felt compelled to speak out in response to the evangelical
0:16:50 > 0:16:53support for Roy Moore and they are not the only ones. Colin Hansen is a
0:16:53 > 0:16:58conservative evangelical who says he cannot vote for either candidate.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The only reason we have this conversation right now is because
0:17:01 > 0:17:05both candidates are extreme in one way or another.He is talking about
0:17:05 > 0:17:12abortion, Roy Moore's opponent, Doug Jones, supports no restrictions at
0:17:12 > 0:17:18all. But there are also damaging combo mice is made by Roy Moore's
0:17:18 > 0:17:23abortus.The real question, for Evangelicals, is there any single
0:17:23 > 0:17:26thing that a Conservative or Republican candidate could do that
0:17:26 > 0:17:30would make you not vote for him...! And I have not yet heard an answer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33The election has become a showcase for the link between religion and
0:17:33 > 0:17:38politics and the power this has two shape Washington but it has also
0:17:38 > 0:17:42forced a spiritual debate about the essence of Christianity in America's
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Conservative heartland.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52STUDIO:Mr Moore is not the only US politician in the spotlight.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Today the longest standing member of Congress, Democrat John Conyers,
0:17:54 > 0:17:55announced he's retiring.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57He is being investigated for sexual abuse,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00though he insists that's not why he's going.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03The 88-year-old is a veteran of the civil rights movement but now
0:18:03 > 0:18:05he's leaving under a cloud of suspicion and his
0:18:05 > 0:18:08legacy will be tainted by the manner of his departure.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10There have been a series of accusations against him
0:18:10 > 0:18:14from former staff members.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20David Catanesereports for US News and World report and joins me now.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I suppose it is no surprise that John Conyers had to go, is the
0:18:24 > 0:18:30movement that happened in America's corporate society now moving into
0:18:30 > 0:18:33politics? Will we see politicians increasingly held to account?I
0:18:33 > 0:18:37think so but it will be case-by-case, Senator Al Franken of
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Al Franken has been accused and is not stepping down. The difference
0:18:41 > 0:18:47has been that in corporations in the media, these guys have bosses. In
0:18:47 > 0:18:51politics, the only boss is the ballot box, and in the case of John
0:18:51 > 0:18:57Conyers, there was... Nantyglo see put pressure on him, and that became
0:18:57 > 0:19:00unsustainable for him, to stay in that seat, especially because
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Democrats believe they can win back the house and he would be a
0:19:03 > 0:19:08lingering distraction if he said he was staying on.Another exception,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Roy Moore, looks like he's getting the support not just of the
0:19:11 > 0:19:15president but the Republican Party has decided to finance him again.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Why have Republicans who just three weeks ago were so determined to say,
0:19:19 > 0:19:24this guy is no good, he is a stain on the Republican Party, this is not
0:19:24 > 0:19:28what our values are, suddenly falling in line.Three weeks ago
0:19:28 > 0:19:32they use that to pressure him to get out, they said, we will not support
0:19:32 > 0:19:36you, if you win, we will expel you, that was supposed to be a threat to
0:19:36 > 0:19:40move him out but it did not work... He went underground to an extent,
0:19:40 > 0:19:45got away from the media, and then... Sort of distracted by all these
0:19:45 > 0:19:47other allegations that came on with other politicians, other men in the
0:19:47 > 0:19:53media full. Now the polls look better for him. The answer to your
0:19:53 > 0:19:56question, they think he could win and that becomes a much more
0:19:56 > 0:20:01difficult question, if he wins and is there, than to go through a
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Senate and ethics investigation and expel him, they have to deal with
0:20:05 > 0:20:09that, it is very uncomfortable for a lot of Republicans.The Senate
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said, if he is elected, Roy Moore
0:20:12 > 0:20:16will face a Senate ethics investigation immediately.A
0:20:16 > 0:20:20colleague of hours were saying they did this with Donald Trump, after
0:20:20 > 0:20:23the access Hollywood takes, there was distance, condemnation, and then
0:20:23 > 0:20:31they went and rallied behind him again.Absolutely, waiting it out,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34for the campaign of Roy Moore, they thought they could wait this out, if
0:20:34 > 0:20:38these accusations dropped yesterday or today and it would have been a
0:20:38 > 0:20:42week-long story, then I think it is a different race and it becomes much
0:20:42 > 0:20:47more difficult for Roy Moore to make it through that storm, but because
0:20:47 > 0:20:51of the media cycle, because this happened three weeks ago, sad to
0:20:51 > 0:20:55say, attention was diverted to other things! And then you had a
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Republican base have problems with Doug Jones, more of his record got
0:21:01 > 0:21:05exposed, particularly on abortion, like your package pointed out. They
0:21:05 > 0:21:09knew it was a confluence of that. This is still a competitive race,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13only a couple of points, looks close, most Republicans now that I
0:21:13 > 0:21:19speak to think why more is going to pull this out.This is from Michael
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Steele, former RNC chairman, tweet here, Republican, of course, he
0:21:24 > 0:21:28says, or refusal to acknowledge that you have endorsed an alleged
0:21:28 > 0:21:31paedophile for the sake of a vote tells me Roy Moore will be a trump
0:21:31 > 0:21:34puppet...
0:21:35 > 0:21:43He went on to say on MSNBC that they will pay a price for this, the
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Republicans, that the Democrats will explore what they have done in
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Alabama.Yes, that is true, I have seen press releases from state
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Democratic parties around the country asking Republican
0:21:53 > 0:21:57candidates, do you stand with Roy Moore or do you stand with Mitch
0:21:57 > 0:22:01McConnell? That will be a question that I think Democrats opposed to
0:22:01 > 0:22:05every Republican, but I also think, if he wins, you will have some
0:22:05 > 0:22:11Republican voices saying he needs to be expelled, the chairman of the
0:22:11 > 0:22:14national Republican committee, called for his expulsion, if he won
0:22:14 > 0:22:20the seat, I asked his office twice yesterday, does he stand by that
0:22:20 > 0:22:24statement? They did not get back to me. Some of these Republicans will
0:22:24 > 0:22:30be pressured if Roy Moore is seeded, to move on with the investigation
0:22:30 > 0:22:34and move to expel him.Thank you very much for joining us, so
0:22:34 > 0:22:40interesting.On the Eurostar back from Brussels today, I have been
0:22:40 > 0:22:44following your tweets, all of the tweets of our colleagues, and I have
0:22:44 > 0:22:47also been reading BBC online. I have picked up something that relates to
0:22:47 > 0:22:51what you have been talking about, and it is about the fear that women
0:22:51 > 0:22:57who were coming forward now have about a backlash. You can tell that
0:22:57 > 0:23:03I have been on the Eurostar. Tell us what you think is happening.It is
0:23:03 > 0:23:07interesting, quite a controversial issue to even raise, Christian,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11surprisingly so, women do not want to look like they are appeasing
0:23:11 > 0:23:14harassers in this particular moment but there is a fear of a backlash
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and a fear that full is accuses will be publicised and that could
0:23:18 > 0:23:22undermine all the other women who come out with allegations. We saw
0:23:22 > 0:23:26that with the Washington Post story a couple of weeks ago. Also a fear
0:23:26 > 0:23:32that corporations and mail bosses could stop helping women in the
0:23:32 > 0:23:36workplace, they may want to stop having meetings alone with them or
0:23:36 > 0:23:40dinners alone or stop inviting them to meetings, I have already heard
0:23:40 > 0:23:44corporate executives say this, Frankie, it'll be to employ a man,
0:23:44 > 0:23:49hire a man, than a young woman. That would mean that women in the
0:23:49 > 0:23:52workforce would be at a disadvantage and the last thing we want is for
0:23:52 > 0:23:55women to be hurt by the movement. There is concern that there will be
0:23:55 > 0:24:01a backlash against...You think the very weight of harmony women are
0:24:01 > 0:24:06involved at the moment could eventually get men saying, well...
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Men have said to me, I am sure you have heard this, goodness, I cannot
0:24:11 > 0:24:14say you look good, I cannot come in your appearance, otherwise I will be
0:24:14 > 0:24:19done for harassment. Being said in a jokey way but the fear is that tends
0:24:19 > 0:24:23to present if there is a sense of overreach, if men feel they are
0:24:23 > 0:24:27condemned just because they are men, that could come back to her women.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Let's move way up to space! LAUGHTER As fresh a perspective is possible

0:24:37 > 0:24:47just for him.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54These series of photos were taken from the International Space Station
0:24:54 > 0:24:56and show the northwest corner of Australia.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58The images were actually stitched together into a time-lapse video.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01They show the inland areas near Port Hedland and Broome,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02before heading towards South Australia.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Looking forward to that.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Another rather grey but mild day for many of us, here is one of the
0:26:14 > 0:26:16weather watcher pictures:
0:26:19 > 0:26:23pretty quiet, that is not going to last, the reason the swell of cloud
0:26:23 > 0:26:27in the Atlantic is the next named storm on the horizon, Storm
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Caroline, West effects of which will be felt in northern Scotland on
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Thursday, we will get to that in a moment. Overnight, turning breezy
0:26:34 > 0:26:39across the UK, quite windy in north-west Scotland, wet throughout
0:26:39 > 0:26:44the night. Patchy light rain and drizzle, Wales, western England.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Away from north-west Scotland, places will be dry and cloudy, there
0:26:47 > 0:26:51is a flow of mild air coming in from the South South West. For Wednesday,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55much of England and Wales will stay dry, patchy drizzle perhaps over the
0:26:55 > 0:27:00weekhills, writer breaks to the east, for Northern Ireland and into
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Scotland, outbreaks of rain, some spots, eastern Scotland, especially
0:27:05 > 0:27:11Moray and Aberdeenshire, should stay dry. Maybe 13, 14 Celsius. Wind
0:27:11 > 0:27:15freshening all the while, gales developing, going into Wednesday
0:27:15 > 0:27:19evening and Wednesday night. Worse to come coming in for Thursday.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Storm Caroline passes to the north. Closer to the centre of the
0:27:23 > 0:27:28low-pressure, a stronger wind, repeatedly across northern Scotland,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32where we will probably see gusts around 80 mph. Some pretty strong
0:27:32 > 0:27:35gusts can be felt elsewhere in Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland
0:27:35 > 0:27:40and northern England. We will keep you updated. All the while, we will
0:27:40 > 0:27:44see it turning colder from the North, with a band of school e-rain
0:27:44 > 0:27:47pushing its way through, showers turning increasingly wintry in the
0:27:47 > 0:27:52cold air, all the way from the Arctic as Storm Caroline moves away.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Cold air plunging south across the UK, Thursday night, into Friday, we
0:27:56 > 0:28:00will see some snow showers around, particularly across northern and
0:28:00 > 0:28:06western parts of the UK. I see in places as Friday begins. Blizzards
0:28:06 > 0:28:11into Highland Scotland. -- icy places. Sunshine to come, will not
0:28:11 > 0:28:22do much for the temperature. -- with a band of squally rain. We have
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Storm Caroline on the way, wet and windy weather around. Particularly
0:28:26 > 0:28:31in Scotland. Snow and ice there in the week.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10This is Beyond One Hundred Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington -
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Christian Fraser's in London.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Our top stories.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15The Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian leaders are warning

0:30:30 > 0:30:39Russia is banned from the Winter Olympics but denies any wrongdoing.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40The US Special Counsel,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Robert Mueller, is reported to have asked Germany's Deutsche Bank
0:30:42 > 0:30:44to provide information on accounts held by President Trump
0:30:44 > 0:30:45and his family.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Coming up in the next half hour.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Can a president of the United States even be tried
0:30:49 > 0:30:50for obstruction of justice?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53The White House lawyer has sparked quite a debate.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Billy Bush lost his job after the infamous Access Hollywood
0:30:55 > 0:30:56tape with Donald Trump.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Now he's speaking out on the president's comments.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag
0:31:00 > 0:31:02'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller has subpoenaed Deutsche bank
0:31:04 > 0:31:40for information on accounts held by Donald Trump and his family.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Deutsche Bank is Trump's biggest lender - and it does a lot
0:31:43 > 0:31:53of business in Russia.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09There is some argument that the president is not subject to
0:32:09 > 0:32:14indictment while still in office. I think it is clear that
0:32:14 > 0:32:15indictment while still in office. I think it is clear that the president
0:32:15 > 0:32:22can commit a federal crime just like any other citizen in this country.
0:32:22 > 0:32:30Well this is as much of a political process as a criminal process and in
0:32:30 > 0:32:35the case of Watergate the Republican party was prepared to go against its
0:32:35 > 0:32:39own president.This is the ultimate distinction between the impeachment
0:32:39 > 0:32:43process, which is in the hands of the Congress, and the criminal
0:32:43 > 0:32:51justice process which is in the hands of professional prosecutors.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Ultimately President Nixon, the Republican support he had in the
0:32:54 > 0:32:59House of Representatives evaporated when he was required to turn over
0:32:59 > 0:33:04the damning tapes that showed that he was up to his armpits in a
0:33:04 > 0:33:08conspiracy to obstruct justice. The same might be true with respect to
0:33:08 > 0:33:12President Trump because he still has more oil Republicans in the House of
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Representatives who might shield him from the consequences of any
0:33:15 > 0:33:19misconduct he is found to have engaged in and I think the key to
0:33:19 > 0:33:28this is what Mueller decides to do with the evidence he has.We had
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Michael Moore on yesterday and he described Mueller is the kung fu
0:33:33 > 0:33:38master of prosecutions, he knows how to apply pressure and when. So at
0:33:38 > 0:33:44the beginning of his investigation he seems to have focused on the
0:33:44 > 0:33:48periphery and now he is going after the money, looking at Deutsche Bank.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52What is the president going to do about that?I think the president
0:33:52 > 0:33:57has said that could be a red line and that might be perhaps the
0:33:57 > 0:34:04strongest demonstration of the president being worried about what
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Mueller could find in probing the financial relationships that
0:34:06 > 0:34:11connecting craps through Deutsche Bank to some of the Russian
0:34:11 > 0:34:16oligarchs. I think perhaps that is what I would call the consciousness
0:34:16 > 0:34:23of guilt and normally in this line of work you find the more someone
0:34:23 > 0:34:26complains about a line of investigation but more likely it is
0:34:26 > 0:34:31that there is something a person does not want to be uncovered.Where
0:34:31 > 0:34:34do you stand on the tweet he sent out at the weekend pretty much
0:34:34 > 0:34:38accepting that he knew that general Flynn had lied to the FBI, do you
0:34:38 > 0:34:44think that in itself has implications for the president in
0:34:44 > 0:34:50terms of obstruction of justice?I think it does and the president is
0:34:50 > 0:34:56his own worst enemy, in the Washington Post a couple of months
0:34:56 > 0:35:00ago after his first week in which he admitted the reason he had fired
0:35:00 > 0:35:05James Comey was he wanted to bring an end to the Russian investigation,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09now he has apparently admitted he knew that his national security
0:35:09 > 0:35:15adviser Mike Flynn had committed a federal felony lying to the FBI
0:35:15 > 0:35:21before the president asked James Comey to give Mike Flynn a pass and
0:35:21 > 0:35:26that the president then fired James Comey when he refused to professes
0:35:26 > 0:35:30loyalty and to yield to the president and his encouragement to
0:35:30 > 0:35:35drop the case. I think this latest one makes the case of obstruction of
0:35:35 > 0:35:41justice that much more clear and compelling. And I would think under
0:35:41 > 0:35:47normal standards the president would be in jeopardy.Obviously you're not
0:35:47 > 0:35:51inside the country investigation but you know how they work, and I'm sure
0:35:51 > 0:35:56that you could read the legal team leaves, how serious doesn't look to
0:35:56 > 0:35:59you for the president from a criminal charges point of view at
0:35:59 > 0:36:04the moment?Forgetting the politics for the moment. Well one element is
0:36:04 > 0:36:11did his conduct run foul of the elements of the criminal federal
0:36:11 > 0:36:13statutes specifically. I think the evidence we now have suggested he
0:36:13 > 0:36:19did. The second question is whether as his lawyers say the president
0:36:19 > 0:36:23really cannot commit a crime, because he's the chief executive of
0:36:23 > 0:36:30the country, I think that is nothing short of nonsensical. As was
0:36:30 > 0:36:33established in the Nixon tapes case, the president as everyone else is
0:36:33 > 0:36:38subject to the law. The trickiest question is whether the president
0:36:38 > 0:36:42may be indicted and charged with a crime while still in office. As
0:36:42 > 0:36:47opposed to having to wait until he has left office. I think that is
0:36:47 > 0:36:52where the rubber meets the road. My own view is that a president is
0:36:52 > 0:36:56subject to indictment while still in office and that is separate from the
0:36:56 > 0:37:00impeachment process.No doubt we will be returning to this. Thank
0:37:00 > 0:37:10you. Well if you look at the last ten days it has been a pretty good
0:37:10 > 0:37:14ten days for the president, tax reforms have got to the committee
0:37:14 > 0:37:21stage and into the Senate and then what else, something else as well.
0:37:21 > 0:37:30The Supreme Court yesterday upheld his ban on visas for Muslim
0:37:30 > 0:37:34countries. It looks like the tax reform Bill will pass. You could
0:37:34 > 0:37:38make a strong case that we're closing year on a high for the
0:37:38 > 0:37:43president. Roy Moore may get elected so they hold the Senate majority,
0:37:43 > 0:37:48more good news for him. I should point out though we have had recent
0:37:48 > 0:37:52polling in the last few days and his approval ratings, which were around
0:37:52 > 0:37:57the summer around 38%, have slipped around 34%. So those numbers not do
0:37:57 > 0:38:02any better at the moment.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Theresa May is under growing pressure to find a way forward
0:38:05 > 0:38:07after Brexit talks broke down on Monday over the future
0:38:07 > 0:38:09of Northern Ireland's border with the Republic.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12A deal on this first phase of negotiations has to be in place
0:38:12 > 0:38:16before next week's summit so talks can move on to trade.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The UK opposition Labour party has called Theresa May's
0:38:19 > 0:38:21efforts an embarrassment.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Now, former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith says it's nearly
0:38:23 > 0:38:27time to walk away from the talks altogether - as our political editor
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Laura Kuenssberg reports.
0:38:30 > 0:38:36You can shake hands as much as you like.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Are you confident of a deal?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41But it does not mean there will be a deal,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45the Spanish leader one of dozens she has to get onside.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49There are a couple of issues we need to work on, but I will be
0:38:49 > 0:38:59reconvening in Brussels later this week.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05It is this band she needs right now, the DUP's ten MPs,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08feeling their power in every step.
0:39:08 > 0:39:15They refused to back Theresa May's deal in Brussels over Ireland border
0:39:15 > 0:39:18which they fear will put Northern Ireland on a different path
0:39:18 > 0:39:19to the rest of the UK.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22The text we were shown late yesterday did not translate
0:39:22 > 0:39:24what we had been told in general conversations into reality.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Would you be willing to see the deal fail?
0:39:27 > 0:39:32We do not want to see the talks fail and we do not want to see no deal,
0:39:32 > 0:39:41we want a sensible Brexit.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Yesterday's collapse provoked arguments on all sides
0:39:43 > 0:39:45with some believing Scotland, Wales and some sectors
0:39:45 > 0:39:50of the economy should get special status but in Dublin a clear
0:39:50 > 0:39:55message, no budging, clinging to the agreement
0:39:55 > 0:39:57that the North and south mirror each other's regulations.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00The ball is in London's court, the Prime Minister
0:40:00 > 0:40:01and the European Commission and negotiating teams have
0:40:02 > 0:40:06asked for more time.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Number 10 believes it could be back on by the end of the week,
0:40:09 > 0:40:10sorted by Christmas.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13But the failure yesterday meant a barrage of attacks in the Commons.
0:40:13 > 0:40:23What an embarrassment.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26If the price of the Prime Minister's approach
0:40:26 > 0:40:27is the break-up of the union
0:40:27 > 0:40:29and reopening of bitter divides in Northern Ireland
0:40:29 > 0:40:30the price is too high.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33The suggestion we might depart the European Union but leave one
0:40:33 > 0:40:36part of the UK inside the single market and customs union
0:40:36 > 0:40:46is emphatically not something the UK Government is considering.
0:40:46 > 0:40:56But there is no agreement in cabinet about what happens next.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00A former leader telling the BBC it might be time to walk away.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03It is a game played out over power and the answer boils down
0:41:03 > 0:41:07to who will call the shots on this?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Right now, we have to say not good enough, we cannot pay this price.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16You are saying to Brussels, back off, or we will walk?
0:41:16 > 0:41:21The statement is more straightforward, you need to change
0:41:21 > 0:41:23this process and to back off, otherwise we get on with
0:41:23 > 0:41:27other arrangements.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32The Prime Minister and DUP are yet to talk directly today.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Theresa May is not in total control of her relationships
0:41:34 > 0:41:40with friends or rivals.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43We have been speaking to Lord Trimble, former
0:41:43 > 0:41:45First Minister of Northern Ireland and one of the architects
0:41:46 > 0:41:47of the Good Friday Agreement.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I asked him why the language in yesterday's document outlining
0:41:49 > 0:41:58a deal on the Border, had been so important?
0:41:58 > 0:42:01The Irish government behaved yesterday and as I understood today
0:42:01 > 0:42:04as if what was being discussed was something that was going to have the
0:42:04 > 0:42:10regulatory arrangements common to Northern Ireland, Republic of
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Ireland into the future and that is not the position of the British
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Government as I understand it. I understand this regulatory alignment
0:42:17 > 0:42:23is only going to apply to existing cooperative arrangements and not any
0:42:23 > 0:42:27future ones and does not have general application. A hugely
0:42:27 > 0:42:31different position. And it is that difference that causes the problem
0:42:31 > 0:42:38because the Irish brief, the journalists who came away with the
0:42:38 > 0:42:42briefing saying that this was going to apply generally and that caused
0:42:42 > 0:42:48huge difficulties for the DUP.Some people would say this is pretty
0:42:48 > 0:42:51great stuff, regulatory alignment, what does mean but it is fundamental
0:42:51 > 0:42:57to what Brexit is all about because the Brexiteers here in London have
0:42:57 > 0:43:01not yet had a conversation within cabinet about what kind of Brexit we
0:43:01 > 0:43:04will have, what kind of future trading relationship we will have.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08So if you set the terms for Northern Ireland before knowing whether rest
0:43:08 > 0:43:14of the UK is going, you're asking the DUP to take an extraordinary
0:43:14 > 0:43:18leap into the dark.You're asking the British Government then to agree
0:43:18 > 0:43:22to something before they have reached negotiations, this goes back
0:43:22 > 0:43:27to something which we should perhaps have been firmer with the beginning
0:43:27 > 0:43:31because the EU proposals as to how the negotiations would proceed were
0:43:31 > 0:43:39not terribly good. And the huge mistake was to put negotiations on
0:43:39 > 0:43:41the future trading relationship right at the end of the queue where
0:43:41 > 0:43:44it should have been right at the front of the queue because it is the
0:43:44 > 0:43:52big issue. And the other issue of how to deal with the Irish border is
0:43:52 > 0:43:56secondary because until we know what the trading arrangements are,
0:43:56 > 0:44:00whether there will still be terrorists and the nature of those
0:44:00 > 0:44:03tariffs, whether they will be other provisions, the cynic would say this
0:44:03 > 0:44:09was done by the European Commission to put maximum pressure on the
0:44:09 > 0:44:14British Government. That is not a sensible way to proceed. That has
0:44:14 > 0:44:18contributed to the present difficulties.It is almost 20 years
0:44:18 > 0:44:25since you helped negotiate the Good Friday agreement. This issue of the
0:44:25 > 0:44:28border, as raising tensions between nationalists and unionists and
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Dublin, perhaps not surprising to you but I wonder if you think there
0:44:32 > 0:44:37is a border solution that would satisfy all the parties involved.We
0:44:37 > 0:44:42could wrap it up as soon as we know what the trading arrangements are.
0:44:42 > 0:44:47Whose fault was it then that talks broke down yesterday?Well
0:44:47 > 0:44:53personally I think the Irish briefing, the briefing to the press,
0:44:53 > 0:45:00the British press, resulted in them running with stories on Monday
0:45:00 > 0:45:05morning which were dynamite as far as unionists were concerned. That
0:45:05 > 0:45:10was the problem. You could criticise Downing Street in that having seen
0:45:10 > 0:45:16that that was happening they should have taken some action.Lord Trimble
0:45:16 > 0:45:21there. So reports that too May could return to Brussels as early as
0:45:21 > 0:45:25Wednesday, did that suggest to you that she's had some kind of a
0:45:25 > 0:45:31breakthrough with the DUP in these negotiations or is she just going to
0:45:31 > 0:45:37talk to EU members?I was there last night working for the News Channel
0:45:37 > 0:45:43until a quarter past nine, Brussels time, and she left after her meeting
0:45:43 > 0:45:47with Donald Tusk around that time. So she had been in discussions for
0:45:47 > 0:45:52about eight hours. And they were not able to find a way through. I'm sure
0:45:52 > 0:45:56they've had conversations today with the DUP. The thing this tells us,
0:45:56 > 0:46:01she sets her horizons by the end of the week, not looking at the future
0:46:01 > 0:46:07of the trade relationship at the moment but looking step-by-step. How
0:46:07 > 0:46:11to get to the next phase. Exactly and she has to keep all these
0:46:11 > 0:46:15different groups onside, the EU Commission, the DUP, her
0:46:15 > 0:46:20backbenchers and cabinet and so up until now she has had no substance
0:46:20 > 0:46:24of discussion within cabinet about what the future looks like and not
0:46:24 > 0:46:28difficult to see why. And the issue of language, it is fundamental
0:46:28 > 0:46:35because whether the rules state aligned, running on twin tracks if
0:46:35 > 0:46:39you will, or whether they do not diverge, that is absolutely
0:46:39 > 0:46:43fundamental to what Brexit is going to be about. And we have not even
0:46:43 > 0:46:46have that discussion within the UK yet so I do not know how you can set
0:46:46 > 0:46:51the rules for the DUP in Northern Ireland if you do not know where the
0:46:51 > 0:46:56rest of the UK is going.And the clock is ticking. Some breaking news
0:46:56 > 0:47:00coming in about a German train, a passenger train that has run into a
0:47:00 > 0:47:08freight train crusted Dusseldorf. German police saying 50 people may
0:47:08 > 0:47:11have been injured in that train crash. That is the first we are
0:47:11 > 0:47:16hearing about it. Train colliding a freight train crusted Dusseldorf. We
0:47:16 > 0:47:28will bring you more detail as we get it.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Spain's Supreme Court has withdrawn a European
0:47:35 > 0:47:36arrest warrant for the
0:47:36 > 0:47:37sacked Catalan regional leader, Carles Puigdemont
0:47:37 > 0:47:38who fled to Belgium.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Mr Puigdemont and four former ministers are wanted in Spain
0:47:40 > 0:47:42on charges of inciting a rebellion.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Two wildfires in Ventura County, on the outskirts of Los Angeles,
0:47:45 > 0:47:46are threatening three cities in southern California.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48At least 150 buildings north of LA,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50including a psychiatric hospital, have already been destroyed.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52And another quarter of a million homes are without power.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54The former Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili has been
0:47:54 > 0:47:56freed by his supporters, shortly after being
0:47:56 > 0:47:57arrested in Ukraine.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59There were chaotic scenes in the capital Kiev
0:47:59 > 0:48:00in the moments after his arrest.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Mr Saakashvili repeated calls for Ukraine's parliament to impeach
0:48:02 > 0:48:06President Petro Poroshenko.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08This is Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09Still to come.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11White House harmony - the sounds through the centuries
0:48:11 > 0:48:19that we associate with the American presidency.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Here in the UK, treating type-two diabetes costs the NHS billions
0:48:21 > 0:48:24of pounds a year and can lead to serious complications
0:48:24 > 0:48:25for the patients.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28The condition is normally controlled with medication but a new trial -
0:48:28 > 0:48:31carried out in Newcastle and Glasgow - has shown that it can be reversed
0:48:31 > 0:48:34through dieting and weight loss.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38Our Health Correspondent James Gallagher reports.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Isobel Murray thought she was facing a lifetime of Type 2 diabetes,
0:48:42 > 0:48:47but she's lost more than four stone on the trial and has now completely
0:48:47 > 0:48:48changed her relationship with food.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Her disease is in remission.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54It's freedom to live your life again and know that you're not in that
0:48:54 > 0:48:57cycle any more and know that I can control this, and I will
0:48:57 > 0:49:00never go there again.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04She spent 17 weeks drinking these.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06They're nutritionally balanced soups and shakes to help
0:49:06 > 0:49:09trigger weight loss.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12And that's it, there's 200 calories in a glass and you're allowed
0:49:12 > 0:49:16four of them every day.
0:49:16 > 0:49:17That's just sweet, really, but that's your lot,
0:49:18 > 0:49:24for up to five months.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26The pancreas is critical in Type 2 diabetes.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29If excess body fat is stored around the organ, then it
0:49:29 > 0:49:33reduces the production of the hormone insulin.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36That leads to levels of sugar in the blood getting
0:49:36 > 0:49:39dangerously out of control.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Losing weight makes the fat cells disappear and the pancreas
0:49:42 > 0:49:45work properly again.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Doctors say 46% of patients on the trial put their
0:49:47 > 0:49:50Type 2 into remission.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53We now have clear evidence that weight loss of 10 or 15
0:49:53 > 0:49:56kilograms is enough to turn this disease around.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59It's hugely exciting that we can do that in routine practice,
0:49:59 > 0:50:01with ordinary nurses, ordinary dieticians,
0:50:01 > 0:50:11ordinary GPs and ordinary patients.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16I don't feel like a diabetic because I don't think about it any more.
0:50:16 > 0:50:17I've got my life back.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20She says if she can beat Type 2, then anyone can.
0:50:20 > 0:50:28James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Billy Bush has again reiterated the authenticity of the leaked
0:50:31 > 0:50:33"Access Hollywood" tape, in which President Trump is heard
0:50:33 > 0:50:36to make crude comments about women.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39The TV host - who was with Mr Trump at the time -
0:50:39 > 0:50:41said there was no doubt over his remarks.
0:50:41 > 0:50:47Take a look at this.
0:50:47 > 0:50:53Last week for some reason he came out with that is not my voice on the
0:50:53 > 0:50:59tape. You cannot say that, I was there, you were there, that is your
0:50:59 > 0:51:03voice on the tape. 20 women do not get together and say it would be fun
0:51:03 > 0:51:08to take down a powerful guide together. I said OK, you're
0:51:08 > 0:51:17reopening wounds, enough is enough, stop playing around with up that
0:51:17 > 0:51:26upset him. -- with people's lives. Billy Bush was fired by NBC News
0:51:26 > 0:51:30after the tape came out because they felt he had been enabling the
0:51:30 > 0:51:36president in the Commons that he was making. There is some speculation
0:51:36 > 0:51:40that all the things Billy Bush is doing at the moment, he has exposed
0:51:40 > 0:51:44a lot of these sexual harassment cases in the New Yorker magazine,
0:51:44 > 0:51:50some kind of retrospective rehabilitation going on on his part
0:51:50 > 0:51:55is the allegation.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58Whether it is hail to the chief or a current day tune -
0:51:58 > 0:52:01music has always played an important role at the White House.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03It can be heard accompanying historic events and even offering
0:52:03 > 0:52:04a soundtrack to diplomacy.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Now a new book is looking at the role music has played
0:52:07 > 0:52:09during each president's time in office and how it has
0:52:09 > 0:52:11developed over the centuries.
0:52:11 > 0:52:20Jane O'Brien has gone to meet some of those behind the instruments.
0:52:21 > 0:52:27Founded by an act of Congress signed by President John Adams in 1798 the
0:52:27 > 0:52:30United States Marine band has provided music for the White House
0:52:30 > 0:52:35and the president ever since.I feel the weight of history every day,
0:52:35 > 0:52:41when you set foot inside the executive office and have the
0:52:41 > 0:52:45responsibility to set the tone for whatever event is happening at that
0:52:45 > 0:52:49time is exhilarating. There is a sense of electricity inside the
0:52:49 > 0:52:57White House and many times that is driven by music.Music at the White
0:52:57 > 0:53:01House, the title of subject of a new book, it is shaped by more than two
0:53:01 > 0:53:09centuries of tradition and the personal taste of the Presidents.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Thomas Jefferson played violin, John Quincy Adams played the flute, many
0:53:12 > 0:53:16presidents have played the piano from Truman and Nixon, a wonderful
0:53:16 > 0:53:21story of Richard Nixon playing the piano and we all know of Bill
0:53:21 > 0:53:33Clinton and the saxophone.Early performances took place behind
0:53:33 > 0:53:37closed doors but in recent decades technology has ensured that the
0:53:37 > 0:53:42White House is indeed the American stage. President Harry Truman
0:53:42 > 0:53:58demonstrated his musical skills in a televised tour of the White House.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03The arts were heavily promoted under President John F. Kennedy. But it
0:54:03 > 0:54:08was Ronald Reagan who began regular televised performances in the 1980s.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13And at times music has made history, not merely accompanied it.In 1985
0:54:13 > 0:54:22Prince Charles and Princess Diana had taken the city by storm so John
0:54:22 > 0:54:26Travolta wanted to dance with Princess Diana but did not know the
0:54:26 > 0:54:30protocol. He was assured it would be fine and then we have that beautiful
0:54:30 > 0:54:33image of them dancing in the grand foyer of the White House and the
0:54:33 > 0:54:40picture went across the globe.As American music evolved from its
0:54:40 > 0:54:45European routes so to have the range of performances, the Marine band,
0:54:45 > 0:54:49the oldest continuing music group in the US, has more often than not
0:54:49 > 0:54:59provided the soundtrack of diplomacy.Good to see Bill Clinton
0:54:59 > 0:55:07they're playing his saxophone. I can also play and a bit of a tingle on
0:55:07 > 0:55:15the ivories!I guess you could bring those in if you really wanted to.
0:55:15 > 0:55:21What about Donald Trump? I do not think he plays but it is amazing,
0:55:21 > 0:55:25Eisenhower, Clinton, Adams, all played musical instruments. Perhaps
0:55:25 > 0:55:28a reflection of a different era where everyone played a musical
0:55:28 > 0:55:38instrument.If you do not have Fox News, you have to do something!
0:55:38 > 0:55:43Let's move on.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Coming up next on BBC World News - Ros Atkins is here with
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Outside Source and for viewers in the UK - we'll have the latest
0:55:49 > 0:55:51headlines from Sean Ley.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53For now - from Katty Kay in Washington and me
0:55:53 > 0:55:57Christian Fraser in London - goodbye.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01I will be in Los Angeles tomorrow.
