Hello and welcome -

I'm Katty Kay in Washington

and Christian Fraser is in London.

At least 15 people have been killed

in southern California by flash

floods and mudslides.

Huge boulders rolled down hillsides

crushing cars and smashing

into homes after the first rain

for several months in

Santa Barbara county.

Around 50 kilometres of the main

coastal road have been closed

and rescuers are trying to reach

a group of 300 people thought to be

trapped in one neighbourhood,

east of Santa Barbara,

James Cook reports.

On California's Pacific coast,

ordeal by the elements continues.

First, they endured the largest fire

in the state's history.

Next came torrential

rain, more intense

than anyone here could remember.

Then, within minutes, destruction,

caused by an unstoppable wall of mud

and debris.

This 14-year-old survived.

Even she does not know how.

Firefighters using rescue dogs

heard her screams and worked for

hours to pull her from

the wreckage of her home.

Her family's fate is unknown.

Everyone here, it seems,

has their own incredible story of a

struggle to survive.

Once the boulders and

trees came through our

house we climbed up onto the roof

and waited till the creek went down

a bit and then we climbed off

the roof and got to our neighbour's.

We just got pulled out

of there by the firefighters.

Police are now rescuing neighbours.

We heard a little baby crying.

We dug down and found a little baby.

Don't know where it came from,

Don't know where it came from, we

got the out. All the more our

abysmal. I hope it's OK, they too

could write to the hospital but it

was just a baby, four feet down in

the mud, in nowhere. I'm glad we got

it him.

A mother and her newborn baby

are winched to safety.

The little girl makes it

onto the roof of her

seven-year-old brother

is saved as well.

Terrifying moments but

they are the lucky ones.

How do you describe it?

It is devastating.

The fire created a situation where

the dirt was able to wash down.

Had we still had all the vegetation

on the hills it would not have been

as much of an issue.

Montecito...

Why did it happen?

The downpour soaked

an area which had been

affected with wildfires.

The earth was baked,

leaving it slick and hard.

The water had nowhere

to go

but down, fast, into

the town of

Montecito with deadly,

devastating effect.

This is one of the most

exclusive

communities in the United

States,

home to stars including

actor Rob Lowe and TV

presenter Ellan DeGeneres.

Oprah Winfrey posted this

video from her garden.

See how deep the mud is.

The destruction was not

confined to the coast.

Further inland, in Burbank,

a suburb of Los

Angeles, the cameras

captured

another mudslide in action.

The mud roared down here

with terrifying speed,

sweeping everything in its path.

Firefighters will not let us go

up that any further.

They say the situation could change

in the blink

of an eye.

As you can see, this

is how dangerous it is.

The Pacific coast was hardest hit.

The financial cost will be immense.

The human toll, even higher.

James Cook, BBC News, Montecito.

A rough month for them. First the

fires than this, no warning. Let's

move on to politics.

Already this week two top

Republicans have announced

they won't run for office again -

it's part of an exodus which is very

worrying to Republican leaders

as they try to hang on to power

in this year's mid term elections.

Today, long term congressman

Darrell Issa said he's quitting -

yesterday it was Ed Royce,

the powerful chairman of the House

Foreign Affairs Committee.

And here's the real

problem for Republicans -

both those men come from districts

in California than Democrats have

a pretty good chance of winning.

So far 31 Republicans have said

they don't want to run again -

while only 15 Democrats are leaving.

Is it Washington's toxic politics,

is it Trump or is it the fear

of being back in the minority?

One of those joining the republican

exodus is congressman Charlie Dent.

He was first elected

to the House in 2004 -

and more recently has been critical

of his own party under

President Trump.

He joins us now from Capitol Hill.

You are from Pennsylvania, it is a

swing state, are you worried that if

you leave, if congressmen from the

Republican Party leave, you are

opening up the opportunity for

Democrats to sweep the house in the

midterms?

Well, clearly any time

incumbent members decided not to run

again from I will say swing

districts or marginal districts that

makes them more vulnerable. You just

mentioned two who are not running

again, even if you forget about the

time and for a moment, history

states that the party of the

president will usually experience

losses in the mid-term, this year is

no different. This midterm election

will largely be a referendum on

Donald Trump and his conduct in

office, that's a fact. We will have

to deal with it. The only question

is what type of a win will we be

facing in the mid-term? A hurricane

force win or something more than

that. I tell my colleagues they

better prepare for the worst and

hope for the best.

As you sit down

with your family and colleagues made

the decision not to run again, was

Donald Trump a factor?

A factor, but

not necessarily the factor in my

decision. I have been elected to

office now offer 28 years, I have

been voted 13 times, I am not going

to spoil a perfect record. I did not

have any serious threat from the

left or a credible threat from the

rights of way was not worried

election but I did think I'm young

enough and healthy enough I can do

something else with my life. There

has been a paralysis here caused by

the polarisation, just trying to

accomplish the most basic

fundamental tasks of governing, from

giving the government funded to not

defaulting on our obligations,

providing hurricane relief, budget

agreements, these issues have become

enormously difficult to pass. I have

to say there is a frustration, for

me, in that regard because the one

committee that actually has to do

something every year, keep the

government running, I'm on that.

We

saw with an example of

bipartisanship yesterday, with

Democrats and Republicans are

sitting around the table with Donald

Trump but the president lamented

these days the two parties can't get

along, they can't cut deals like

these two in the good old days. Why

is that?

We have a lot of people who

come from very safe districts. Their

political safety is to the base or

in sometimes to the French that they

feel that's where their political

safety is, there's not a political

reward is the consensus and find

agreements and ultimately heaven

forbid a compromise, there is no

political reward therefore a lot of

these folks. I represented a strict

and is more a marginal swing

district can go either way, in

districts like mine is easier to

support consensus agreements, but

for a lot of members there is no

reward for that. They get accused of

being surrender rose and sell-outs.

How much of this is the battle that

has been in the party for the soul

of the party, between the moderate

wing and the alt-right? Represented

by Steve Bannon.

Well, before Donald

Trump we used to have a litmus test,

a purity test in the Republican

Party, who was pure enough? We used

to have these self designated

chiefs, the purity police who would

judge you. I was always considered

part of the pragmatic wing, so we

had a battle between the purists and

pragmatists. Then along comes Donald

Trump who is not ideological

doctrinaire, he's not a purist, said

other litmus test has become loyalty

to the president. That is really

confounding to all those previous

chiefs of the purity police. We are

in an odd spot now, where we have

this new dynamic that is frankly a

bit puzzling to me. It's a bit

confounding.

Charlie dance, thank

you for joining us. Good luck in

your future endeavours. It's

fascinating. Republicans control

three branches of government yet

listening to Charlie there, he joked

about purists versus pragmatists,

then you put Donald Trump on top,

you sense there is a malaise that

are set in within the GOP.

The party

is worried about these mid-term

elections, they are worried that

these Republican congressman who

have decided not to run again, it's

not just about members of the house

who feel nervous about the future,

it's also about voters, and those

congressmen, people like Charlie

Dent actually reflect a malaise

among voters in the country. If

those people do not turn up in the

mid-term elections then as the

congressman was suggesting, the

party could be in foray hurricane,

November. If you are a moderate in

this country and you would like more

cooperation between Republicans and

Democrats then exactly the kind of

person you would want to have an

office is somebody like Congressman

Charlie Dent, and losing him suggest

the country will become more extreme

and a lot less so. He is one of

those rare centrists at the moment.

-- not less so.

A top Democrat has gone rogue

on the Russia investigation.

Dianne Feinstein, the senior

Democrat on the Senate

Judiciary Committee,

has shocked Republicans

by unilaterally making a key piece

of testimony public.

Ms Feinstein put the full transcript

of the committee's interview

with the head of Fusion

GPS on her website.

Fusion GPS is the firm that

commissioned the now infamous

dossier by former UK intelligence

officer Christopher Steele that

alleges collusion between the Trump

campaign and Moscow.

The co-founder of Fusion GPS

is Glenn Simpson who was interviewed

for several hours by the Senate

committee last year.

In the transcript Mr Simpson says

Mr Steele was concerned that

Donald Trump could be

blackmailed by Russia.

Joining me is our North America

reporter Anthony Zurcher.

And before we start Anthony I want

to ready you this tweet

from the president this morning.

"The fact that Sneaky Dianne

Feinstein, who has on numerous

occasions stated that collusion

between Trump/Russia has not been

found, would release testimony

in such an underhanded and possibly

illegal way, totally without

authorization, is a disgrace.

Must have tough Primary!"

That's a reference to her running

again. The president clearly not

happy. I imagine Dianne Feinstein's

Republican colleagues also not happy

about this decision, to go out with

this testimony.

And Dianne Feinstein

was one of the people at that

meeting that Christian mentioned

yesterday, an immigration where they

are all fairly friendly, convivial

type

then she releases this transcript. I

think they wanted to get the full

record out because leaks had been

coming out from this testimony,

characterised to undermined

Christian steel's dossier. Last week

we saw the committee chair

recommends the Justice Department

investigate Christopher Steele for

lying to the FBI, so it seems lines

are being drawn here.

What I wonder

is where this leaves the state of

those Congressional enquiries on to

the issue of collusion between

Russia and possibly the Trump

campaign. You have very different

investigations going on on two of

those now you have Democrats and

Republicans totally at odds and I

can't believe those investigations

are actually functioning. That is

one Senate committee that is

actually managing to work. The house

intelligence committee totally

deadlocked, the Senate intelligence

committee shows signs of the

Republican, the only one that is

functioning. Neymar Donald Trump

talking about our Republicans had to

take control on this.

We have him

shouting out to the public that

Republicans need to clamp down on

the investigation, and do away with

the witchhunt.

It's interesting,

Senator Chris Coombes saying

yesterday there are at an impasse on

this particular committee and can't

see eye to eye. What you see in the

first quarter of this dossier is

that Republicans are tilting

towards, how did you come up with

this information, do you work for

the Russians? Rather than what did

you find out, it's quite insightful.

The thing that strikes me, Anthony,

is just how easy it was, seemingly,

for Glenn Simpson to find out about

Trump's connections to the Mafia.

Let's look at an extract from the

dossier. He says in the book first

weekend I started boning up on

Donald Trump I was able to find

connections to Italian organised

crime and later to a Russian

organised crime figure.

We sort of

saw an explanation for opposition

research, when the first thing he

did was order a bunch of books on

Donald Trump, there's been a lot of

investigation into his business

record that is out there. When

Christopher steel went to Russia, he

started contacting his people there.

He said there were very cooperative,

very open about their dealings with

Donald Trump. You must remember the

context, back in mid-2016, before

Russian ties became a hot button

political issue, they seemed more

willing to talk according to

Simpson, later on, that was when his

sources started to climb up because

they started to feel the heat.

Thank

you very much for joining us.

Interesting also that as you pointed

out earlier, Steel is saying them,

Simpson is saying the FBI was

investigating this anyway.

That will

really anger the Democrats. Maybe

that is why they find Sun has

released this. What they are saying

if this was not the dossier which

led to special counsel

investigation. The FBI were already

investigating the Russian links as

far back as June 20 16. Harry Reid

who was leading the Democrats in the

Senate at the time wrote to James

Comey and asked if he was

investigating Donald Trump, the New

York Times said there was not, now

we find out the FBI were

investigating Donald Trump as far

back as June without the dossier and

so the question is, why do they talk

about Clinton's investigation, into

the e-mails, and you did not talk

about Donald Trump?

As you say, that

will not endear them to the

Republicans.

Most people dream of lots of snow

when they go skiing -

but not this much.

Thousands of tourists are stranded

after heavy snow in the Alps cut

off towns and villages

across Switzerland,

France and Italy.

Visitors were even being airlifted

out of one of the most

popular Swiss ski resorts,

Zermatt.

The avalanche risk in the area

is the highest it's been

for almost ten years.

Tom Burridge reports.

This is the only way out

of Zermatt this morning.

The luggage of tourists

stuck here airlifted out.

Heavy snow has closed all the roads.

So those who can catch this shuttle

service to a nearby town.

Waiting on that helipad this

lunchtime, Rebecca Smith.

These are people waiting

for the next helicopter out.

We spoke as she began

the first leg of a long

journey back to Manchester.

A lot of people will

say you are stuck in

somewhere beautiful,

you can go skiing but

that is not the case,

you are stuck in a hotel room

because of the risk of avalanche.

So this morning,

helicopters were also busy

clearing avalanches.

Blowing huge quantities

of snow off the

mountains, which has

fallen in recent days.

In remote areas, one metre of snow

fell in just 24 hours.

And although conditions in Zermatt

have improved this morning, the risk

of avalanche in the

area remains high.

A Swiss company captured this

avalanche just outside the town

last week.

The deadly force abundantly clear.

And this was the scene after

a recent avalanche in a French town.

Further south in the resort

of Tignes, cafes hidden by the snow.

It was here that John Bromell from

Lincolnshire was snowboarding in

poor weather on Sunday.

In Zermatt, the operation to get

tourists out on helicopters

continues.

Looking forward to getting

back down the mountain.

We live in Australia

and we will miss

the flight from Zurich

so we're happy to leave now.

Heavy snow this winter has

made many peoples skiing

holidays but with some slopes

here now closed, too much is causing

problems and treacherous conditions.

Steve Bannon's inflated

sense of self importance

couldn't save his job -

either at the White House

or at Breitbart news.

He was ousted yesterday as head

of the conservative website.

It was spectacular fall from grace

for the man who styled

himself as the architect

of Donald Trump's

extraordinary victory.

Mr Bannon's statements in the book

Fire And Fury were the last straw.

The influential funders of Breitbart

pulled their support.

Now the question is what happens to

the populist movement he championed?

Joshua Green chronicled

the relationship between Bannon

and Trump in his book

The Devil's Bargain

and he joins us now.

Thanks for coming in. What was Steve

Bannon thinking? Did he really think

you could get away with saying to a

reporter the kinds of things you

said about Donald Trump and his

family and keep his bosses support?

He did, because Bannon really

believe that Trump's and action was

the culmination of a set of forces

that existed independent of Trump.

-- Trump's election. He thought he

and not Trump was the true channel

of those forces, that recognised

himself in a movement where he was

the intellectual architect. We have

now learned to buy civilly that

voters support Trump and not Bannon

and he hears, fallen all the way

from the pinnacle of power.

Knowing

the two men and having reported on

both of them as you have, what do

you think it was specifically the

Donald Trump that was really the

last straw?

For Trump, I think it

was a man taking credit for his

success. There have been news

reports to the effect that Trump was

upset about what Bannon had said

about his family, about these

potentially treasonous Russian

meetings, that was Bannon's quote,

but I think what it really was was

Trump for Bannon was taking

something away from his presidential

victory by claiming credit for it

and it is something Donald Trump

simply will not abide.

That goes

back a while. We have seated on the

Saturday Night Live sketches where

Steve Bannon was the real president

and Trump was made to sit at the

tiny table. What happens now to

Steve Bannon? Is that it?

I know

Bannon would like to remain relevant

and politics going forward, he still

believes he is an influential

figure, but without the platform of

Breitbart news and a serious radio

show, both of which he has lost,

it's not clear what the venue for

him to get his message out would be.

They put out a string of

administration and thistles on

Sunday saying this as a whole load

of trash, Fire And Fury, but if you

annihilate Steve Bannon, bury him in

the way you have, don't you tacitly

acknowledge that what he said is

true?

It's difficult to come out and

call the book fake news, as

President Trump has, and then go out

and attacked one of the main sources

of that book. I know from my own

reporting with Bannon and other

senior officials that the port

represented it Michael Wolff's book

is essentially the correct one, that

Trump is a unfocused president, and

the Wesselingh is really in chaos

most of the time. I think the

problem for Bannon is that Trump

went to people and said listen, it's

time for you to choose, you are with

me or him. -- the White House is in

chaos. If you are with me, I want to

cut ties with Bannon and bury him

and that's precisely what White

House officials have been doing.

Donald Trump has put a lot of money

in Michael Wolff's pocket but he

clearly does not like the book. He

has been talking about libel laws

today.

If somebody says something

that is totally and knowingly false,

that the person that has been

abused, the famed, liable to have

meaningful recourse. Our current

libel laws are a sham. And a

disgrace, and do not represent

American values or American

fairness, so we are going to take a

strong look at that.

Is this the man

who accused Ted Cruz's father of

being involved in the JFK shooting?

Or said President Obama was not born

in the US? Are we talking about the

same man?!

We are, we are also

talking about an empty threat.

Donald Trump is not going to sue

Michael Wolff the deformation, and

if you does he will sell another

million bucks for the author. This

is Trump's way of issuing response

to something he does not like, to

try to take control of the news

cycle.

I bet you slightly wish

Donald Trump had taken on your book

like this. Without not have done a

great thing for you?

He could have

at least threatened a lawsuit,

bright!

One of the things that's

interesting, people pointed out

yesterday there was this

extraordinary moment in which had

Steve Bannon being ousted from

Breitbart, the ultimate

nationalists, populist, the guy who

railed against illegal immigration,

who wanted an American first agenda,

on the same day that Donald Trump

sits there with members of both

parties, discusses the possibility

of comprehensive immigration reform,

and announces he is going to Davos.

That place of the global elite. It

has people here scratching their

heads and wondering, is all that

populism that Steve Bannon

represented, the National is, is

that God? Is this going to be the

year of the globalist Donald Trump?

He was the weather vein of the base.

He kept on the straight and narrow

as to what the alt-right thinking.

Is that what John is thinking? I

would not call the base the

alt-right, I think those are

different. But dating the base is

very concerned about things like

immigration. They do not want the

president to row back on that. There

are also supporters of Donald Trump

who would still say Steve Bannon is

very useful for being the base

whisper and being in touch with the

base, and can you really alienate

him totally? Who knows, Steve Bannon

may be back, that's the way this

president tends to work.

This is Beyond 100

Days from the BBC.

Coming up for viewers on the BBC

News Channel and BBC World News -

the 100 women saying NOT US

to the ME TOO campaign -

and the famous French actress

who thinks 'pestering men' aren't

a problem - we'll be asking why.

And translating Trump -

we go to cities around the world

to ask what they think

of the American president -

is he just as divisive

outside of the US?

We'll be finding out.

Quite a quiet spell of weather

across the British Isles for the

next few days but not without its

own problems. First an old weather

front lurches with intent across the

East, producing rain not just in

Ipswich, it has to be said. Further

west, the fog in some spots never

really cleared for the greater part

of the day. Any good news? Yes there

was, an awful lot more sunshine

around in the south and central

parts. Those clear skies by date, no

great problems, clear skies by

night, we may end up with a

widespread fog problem. Some low

cloud lurking close by to East

Anglia, and the south-east from that

weather front, good in its own right

produce hill fog. First up for the

new day on Thursday, fog patches,

some are really quite dense. Could

be a real issue if you are on the

move first thing. Quite a chilly

start I would have thought, a touch

of frost perhaps across parts of

Scotland, and here in south-western

parts we may see that chance of fog.

So too through the western side of

the Pennines, Wales and West

Midlands. Out east, the old weather

front will be speeding in as it

forms an area of low pressure close

by to the south-eastern quarter of

the British Isles, some low cloud

that will produce hill fog and

really one of those days. That cloud

will be thick enough for there to be

bits and pieces of rain and drizzle

on offer throughout the day in East

Anglia and the south-east. The odd

bit MPs in the North York Moors. The

best of the sunshine away to the

western side of Scotland, down

through Wales interview south-west

of England. If fog lingers, it may

well be your figures are well down

into those single figures. Not a

particularly warm start to the new

day on Friday, again that

combination of cloud and fog that

causes us a bit of concern. Friday a

quiet day, first signs of a weather

front trying to work in toward the

British Isles. Even as we get as far

ahead as the weekend, you see it

runs into this area of high pressure

across western Russia, making the

progress of that front very slow

indeed.

This is Beyond One Hundred Days,

with me Katty Kay in Washington -

Christian Fraser's in London.

Our top stories:

15 people are now known

to have died in a series

of mudslides near Los Angeles -

emergency teams are still

digging into debris.

And in the European Alps,

heavy snow leaves thousands

of tourists stranded -

some needed to be airlifted out.

Coming up in the next half hour:

One of France's best-known actresses

is among a hundred women to sign

an open letter warning

of a new puritanism after recent

sexual harassment scandals.

And a whale of a tale -

the humpback that took

a woman under its fin -

saving her from a tiger shark.

Let us know your thoughts

by using the hashtag

'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'

One hundred well-known French women

have signed an open letter

defending the right of men

to flirt with women.

Actress Catherine Deneuve is one

of the signatories who says

the recent campaigns against sexual

harassment are creating

a new wave of puritanism.

The open letter published

in Le Monde, says: "Men have

been punished summarily,

forced out of their jobs

when all they did was

touch someone's knee

or try to steal a kiss."

It went on to say: "Rape is a crime,

but trying to seduce someone,

even persistently or clumsily,

is not - and nor is men being

gentlemanly a chauvinist attack."

We can speak to Sonia Bogdanosky

who's one of the women who signed

the letter in Le Monde.

She is a film editor

and joins us from Paris.

I noticed, I hope you don't mind me

saying, a lot of signatories were of

an older generation, who might be

satisfied with the sexual freedoms

they won in the 60s, but your

critics would say that the battle is

hardly won.

I would say it's not

something about sexual liberty. It

is more... It is some sort of woman

and about the way we can answer to

things that are not crime. We say

rape is a crime, but a lot of things

are not a crime and we are not only

victims. It is not about so much

sexual liberty, but the fact that we

can choose only be seen as victims,

we can answer to this fact has

happened. I have to say that I'm not

a nonperson, I'm not a celebrity,

I'm not Catherine Deneuve. A lot of

young people signed the letter. A

lot of unknown persons signed the

letter. It is not just one

generation.

Speaking as a man,

doesn't it come down to context, if

you hold a position of hower power

over a woman you have to be more

careful about how you approach

someone, can it be considered

aggressive or threatening and if it

can, you shouldn't do it. It is the

context isn't it?

It is the context,

but Texn't is not talking about what

happens in work. The work place is

something special where people have

power and the text is more talking

about what happens in the metro, in

the street, between people who have

not power relations. And in the

metro I don't feel I have got more

or less power than the man who will

be annoying me. So yes I'm not a

man, I can't judge as a man. But it

is normal for me.

If you were felt

up in the metro, you would say stop

and be angered by that?

Yes. But I

wouldn't feel necessarily

humiliated, I wouldn't feel I would

be a victim. The first time I was

conscious of that, I wasn't in the

metro, I was young and there was a

guy, he was drunk and he had a

bottle and he put the bottle on his

penis and his put the bottle near

the face of a woman and the woman

slapped the the bottle and said, now

you stop this. If I wouldn't be this

woman I would be totally scared and

shocked and I thought, oh, but can I

be something more than a victim.

I

don't really understand Sonia what

this let letter is about and if it

is no about the work place and all

the people we have seen they have

been sacked, because it because they

abused their pow ever over a younger

woman. I don't understand why a

25-year-old woman should have to put

up with that. Don't you want a work

environment where a 25-year-old

woman can turn up for work and an

older guy who wants to try a kiss,

she shouldn't have to put up with

that?

I want to work normal with

normal ways of dealing with people.

But if you are to sue somebody, to

denounce somebody if there is a

problem at your work place, it has

to be done in legal ways. That is

what this text is also about. You

can't just consider that a hashtag

should solve the problem.

But the

people who have been fired have been

fired following investigations and

those organisations believed that

the men behaved inappropriately. I

imagine that you would want an

environment in which it is safe for

women to turn up to work and

therefore organisations following an

investigation get rid of those men

who abuse their power.

In France,

there is at least one case that I

have known about a man who was

dismissed from his job and there was

not, there was just... The complaint

against him. There was not something

legal and there was, well, it's more

complicated, but that is not for me,

the main point of this text. That is

not the reason I signed this text.

Thank you very much for being with

us. I was reading a letter in the

Times the other week, an article

actually by Giles Coren, he said

that after the hashtag Me Too

campaign he had been writing to a

colleague, something who offered him

work and he didn't know this woman

and wrote back said I would love to

take on the work and then wrote,

kiss, kiss, two crosses and he

stopped before he sent it. He

thought, I don't know is in woman,

why am I sending the two kisses. So

he is changing his behaviour and he

said, is that a good thing, is it

making me think about the way I

approach woman or is the paranoia

that men face.

Perhaps we need an

open and difficult conversation

about this, is it, why should he put

kisses, he wouldn't be giving her

kisses? If it is a purely

professional situation.

You wouldn't

do it with your Ed toer.

-- editor.

Always does it make the person who

is on the receiving end of this feel

uncomfortable. I'm 53, it doesn't

happen to me, but when I was in my

20s, routinely older men in

positions of power would hit on he.

It happens to all the women I know.

Why should young women have to be in

that situation. If we have go over

board in one area where men don't

feel they can put XX on an e-mail,

maybe that is no bad thing.

I'm in

my 40s, they don't hit on me any

more either. Right.

Donald Trump's supporters give

the President a lot of latitude.

But one area they are very wedded

too is clamping down

on illegal immigration.

So when Mr Trump yesterday suggested

he would support giving illegal

immigrants a path to US citizenship

- there were cries of

outrage from his base.

One ardent conservative supporter

tweeted that Mr Trump would lose

a lot of support if he went ahead

with a more liberal

approach to immigration.

The issue is pressing

because the President is trying

to do a deal with Democrats

on children brought here

illegally by their parents -

the programme known as DACA.

Let's speak to Alan Gomez -

an Immigration reporter for USA

Today and joins us from Miami.

You listened to the president's

comments with those democrats and

Republicans yesterday, where does

the president stand on immigration?

That is a good question. If

everything we heard from the meeting

yesterday, he seemed very open to

providing a path to legalisation for

these 800,000 young undocumented

immigrants, referred to as Dreamers,

he said he is open to providing a

path to legalisation for all 12

million undocumented immigrants. But

the president has gone in a few

different directions when talking

about immigration throughout the

campaign he got very hardline and

promised there would be no amnesty

and they would have go back home.

But once he came into office he did

eliminate the programme that

protects those people but urged

congress to pass a solution to give

them a perm Nantes home in the

United States -- permanent home in

the United States and he was open to

a more broad legalisation. He was

leaving the details to congress.

It

is interesting, I covered the

election as I travelled around,

there were some issues that

supporters of Donald Trump kept

coming back to and immigration is

one. I think that many of Trump's

supporters may accept there has to

be something done about these young

people brought to America by their

parents illegally. I don't think

they would accept a comprehensive

reform to give 12 people here a pass

to citizenship. I don't see that

flying with his base, do you?

I

think you're assessment is perfect.

These 800,000 young people are a

different group. Even

anti-immigration groups, some of the

groups who have long fought for

anything they describe as amnesty

have said they're different and they

didn't make the decision to come to

the United States and they have been

educated here and assimilated to the

country. A lot don't even speak

Spanish. And they make the argue m

that we will make exception in one

case in exchange for more border

security and more interior

enforcement. But if he talks about a

path to citizen ship for 11

undocumented immigrants, that will

be different and his base would blow

up and say he lied on the campaign

and is going back on one of his

central promises.

Big thing left

nowhere despite is in 50 minute

round table, whether you do

something on it. Here is the moment

it was suggested they could do DACA

in isolation.

What about a clean

DACA bill with a commitment we go

into a comprehensive immigration

reform like we did back when Kennedy

was here.

I think that is what Dick

is saying we will do DACA and then

start on phase two. That would be

would be comprehensive. A loft o'

people would like to see that.

You

need to be clear. What the Senator

is asking, you have to be security.

I think that what is you said.

I

think you said something different.

The transcript of that didn't appear

in the official transcript. Here the

tweet that Donald Trump sent out

after:

Are the Republicans going to let him

get away with doing DACA without

putting the sprinkles on the top?

No

the congress would not go along with

a bill that only allows legalisation

of the dreamers. It is what you get

in return. That is what they will be

negotiating, as we approach the

deadline for DACA ending. At first

the White House put a list of thing

they need, the worder wall and more

agents and an end to chain migration

and the end of the visa lottery and

crackdown on sanctuary cities. And

at the end of the meeting yesterday

after they closed the doors and the

press was kicked out, they did zero

in on a few points, DACA in exchange

or the end of visa lottery. But what

border security means, that is what

we are all going to be looking for

and what will determine whether

Democrats go along and President

Trump ends up signing the bill.

Thank you very much. From a very

sunny Miami. I like you had the two

elder guys explaining to the female

Senator what she was saying!

Donald Trump's first year

in the White House has been followed

closely around the world.

We asked people on the streets

of seven cities around the world

what they made of the President

so far.

He is a good leader.

He don't

represent ladies or anybody.

He is good at distracting people.

He

has started straight.

All his deeds

are negative and reflecting bad

images. For the Americans

themselves.

He is a man of his

words.

I think he is very good.

He backed out of Paris treaty.

The

policy against Paris agreement one

of worst decisions of the year.

In the start when he was the

president for the United States, he

was talking about to make the peace

in the Middle East.

He has

recognised Jerusalem as our natural

capital.

Recognises Jerusalem as the

capital of Israel was his worst

decision ever.

Jews are trying to

get into America and it is more

difficult now.

The immigration

attitude he has towards foreigners

can be negative in the future.

They voted for him, they get what

they asked for.

Donald Trump one year on, the global

view. This is beyond 100 days.

Still to come - glass

ceilings exist, even

for former prime ministers -

we speak to New Zealand's Helen

Clark about her time at the UN,

and her global fight

against drug abuse.

The trial of the former football

coach Barry Bennell on charges

of child sexual offences has heard

from an alleged victim.

Barry Bennell, who's now known

as Richard Jones, denies 48 charges

of child sexual abuse.

Dan Roan reports.

Back in the 1980s, Barry Bennell

worked with some of the most

promising young footballers

in the north-west of England.

Youth team coach at Crewe Alexandra.

He also had links

with Manchester City.

Liverpool Crown Court was told

the 64-year-old, who now causes of

Richard Jones, exploited

young boys dreams of

becoming footballers

in

order to sexually abuse them.

With Bennell watching

on via video link,

the jury was shown footage of

the first complainant's interview.

He first met him when

he came as a scout for

Manchester City.

The alleged victim said

he was abused up to 100 times

along with other boys

by Bennell at his home

and in a shop he owned

in

Derbyshire village.

He had up to three boys

share a bed with him.

The said none dare

speak out for fear of

jeopardising their

football prospects.

The court was shown

a recording of this BBC

programme from November 2016

featuring other alleged victims

which the complainant said left him

in complete meltdown, prompting him

to contact police

for the first time.

Appearing behind a screen in court

he was cross examined by the

defence, and asked if his complaint

was financially motivated.

I am not in it for

the money, he said.

The court was read transcripts from

Bennell's interview with the police.

He said he has had no

sexual contact with him

and remembered thinking

he

was the one that got away with it

he was not one of my victims.

It is impossible.

The trial continues.

You're watching

Beyond One Hundred Days -

every 25 minutes here in America,

a baby is born addicted to opioids.

The scale of both use and abuse

of the drugs in the United States

is hard to overstate.

The UK too has an increasingly

urgent problem with drug overdoses

hitting record levels in England

and Wales, last year.

And so it was with the scale

of the global crisis in mind,

that our next guest took

up her new post as Commissioner

with the Global Commission

on Drug Policy.

Helen Clark has also served

as the Prime Minister of New Zealand

and as the head of the UN's

Development Programme.

And she joins us in the studio now.

I want to talk about your old job in

development. Development funding is

not very trendy now, there are

governments slashing budgets, what

effect does that have?

It has a big

effect. Particularly on the poor but

stable countries, but not only has

the amount of the development

assistance plateaued give or take,

but much more of it is going into

the crisis end, the people fleeing

conflict and subject to horrific

disaster. The amount that is there

for the poor but stable who need the

hand up is not as good.

So much

conflict around the world at the

moment, I was watching a densely

detailed documentary on the BBC the

House of Saud that talked of the

funding for arms and the amount that

is poured in, millions by the House

of Saud. Imagine if just a fraction

of that had gone to development.

Oh

sure, if we could take what was

spent on militaries and put it into

peaceful development, the world

would be a transformed and more

peaceful place.

Would it be

transformed in the sense when you

have gulfs between various

countries, between Europe and the

west and Africa, you pay in the long

run, because you get such huge

population movements?

Yes if you

look at the movement out of sub-Saha

ran Africa, that comes from the

economic problems. These people are

young guys who want to work.

To stop

that, Europe and America should

change its attitude to Africa and

get money in there to stop the flow?

Absolutely it is about a Marshall

plan for Africa, that wants

investment and opportunities to

employ its people. With that you

would pretty much curb the flow. As

long as there isn't opportunity,

people will seek it where it is.

That is the history of people. My

forebearers came from this set of

islands.

Not very trendy in America

either.

No, let me talk about you

new job as hold of the global

commission on drugs policy, the

United States is in the grip of an

opioid epidemic. You have advocated

decriminalising, but a lot of the

people who get hooked on opioids in

the United States do so legally on

pain killers. What do you do about

that.

I'm one of a range of

commissioners, there is about 25 of

us and lot are former heads of

governments and I'm aware of the

seriousness of the opioid crisis and

it needs a wide range of responses.

It needs substitution therapy as an

option. In the United Kingdom itself

there is a spike in deaths as well

and there needs to be more harm

reduction measures put in place. But

the general position of commission

which I've just joined but has been

going for seven or eight years, that

you need to move to a form of legal

regulation. Because prohibition is a

criminal's dream and raises the

price and puts more people in

danger.

Do you think that drug

companies in the United States are

complicit in this opioid crisis the

country is having, because they have

pushed pain killers on to patients?

I understand there has been

incentives to doctors to prescribe

these drugs more than best practice

would suggest. But it is also true

that a large amount of the problem

comes not from those who have

received the legal prescription, but

from the diversion of the drugs

prescribed into other hands. And

there is rather loose regulation I

think in the United States which has

opened up this area of problem.

Thank you very much for joining us.

We are going to have more of this

problem, opioid addiction is huge in

the United States. Communities have

been decimated by these pills.

Something more cheerful.

Now, a remarkable tail

of a woman and a whale.

Marine biologist Nan Hauser

says a humpback whale

protected her from a tiger shark

during a research expedition

in the Cook Islands.

She says the humpback

tucked her under its pectoral fin

to keep her from harm.

Here's Nan now describing

what happened.

There's a great big

tiger shark over there.

Oh.

I was in the water and he approached

me and he didn't stop.

And he put me on his head.

I kept trying to get away

but for ten and a half minutes,

he was tucking me under his pectoral

fins and lifting me up out

of the water and just rolling around

with me on his body.

I saw a whale in the distance

that kept tail slapping

but I still never put it together

that there was a shark right there.

Humpbacks are altruistic.

They have this incredible

behaviour where they will

rush into a situation

and save another species.

I'm probably the first human

on record that they've saved.

Um, man, the whale.

Literally there.

Thank you.

I love you too.

I love you too, I do.

I love you.

Isn't that amazing?

I would carry to

save your life.

Would you you? It is

like snail and the whale that I read

to my son. He loves that book. The

sense that he is carrying her to

safety. We like that story a lot.

Yeah.

Coming up next...

Humpback

whale altruism.

Next on the BBC

outside source. Now we will see you

same time tomorrow. Thanks for

watching. Goodbye.
