0:00:08 > 0:00:09You're watching Beyond 100 Days.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13President Trump keeps the world waiting on the Iran nuclear deal.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Ahead is an important deadline tomorrow and we still

0:00:15 > 0:00:22don't know if he plans to reimpose US sanctions.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Mr Trump is under pressure from Europeans and his own national

0:00:25 > 0:00:27security team to stick with the nuclear deal.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29He also faces pressure from the Russia investigation

0:00:29 > 0:00:31but insists, repeatedly there was never any collusion.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35Also on the programme...

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Searching for survivors - eight people are still missing

0:00:37 > 0:00:39after the mudslides and flash floods in southern California

0:00:39 > 0:00:46that left 17 dead.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48The New York Times was barred from publishing any more classified

0:00:48 > 0:00:52documents about the Vietnam war.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55The Pentagon, a newspaper and power - we sit down with Steven Spielberg

0:00:55 > 0:01:00to hear about his latest film, The Post.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Get in touch with us using the hashtag #Beyond100Days.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hello and welcome - I'm Katty Kay in Washington

0:01:13 > 0:01:15and Christian Fraser is in London.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17The clock is ticking and President Trump has just one day

0:01:17 > 0:01:20to make an important decision on the Iran deal.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22The trouble is that even at this late stage, no one knows

0:01:22 > 0:01:25whether he's going to bring back US sanctions against Tehran

0:01:25 > 0:01:27tomorrow or not.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29In a deliberate display of unity, Britain, France, Germany

0:01:29 > 0:01:31and the European Union today all urged him not

0:01:31 > 0:01:41to blow up the deal.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's known as the JCPOA.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45British foreign secretary Boris Johnson went so far

0:01:45 > 0:01:47as to challenge Mr Trump to prove there was something better

0:01:47 > 0:01:48than the current Iran deal.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51The EU's foreign policy chief also stressed that the deal is working

0:01:51 > 0:01:54and Iran is in compliance.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57The European Union remains committed to support the full and effective

0:01:57 > 0:02:01implementation of the agreement is, including to make sure that the

0:02:01 > 0:02:06lifting of nuclear related sanctions has a positive impact on trade and

0:02:06 > 0:02:10economic relations with Iran, including benefits for the uranium

0:02:10 > 0:02:16people. -- for the Iranians are people. The agreement has allowed

0:02:16 > 0:02:24for continuous dialogue with Iran on all issues.I don't think anybody

0:02:24 > 0:02:30has so far produced a better alternative to the JCPOA. As a way

0:02:30 > 0:02:37of preventing the Iranians from going ahead with the acquisition of

0:02:37 > 0:02:39military nuclear capability. I don't think anybody has come up with a

0:02:39 > 0:02:45better idea. I think it is incumbent on those who oppose the JCPOA to

0:02:45 > 0:02:51come up with a better solution, because we haven't seen it so far.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55We know that it is absolutely necessary to have the signal that it

0:02:55 > 0:03:00is possible, by the dramatic approaches, to prevent the

0:03:00 > 0:03:03development of nuclear weapons, in a time when other parts of the world

0:03:03 > 0:03:10are discussing how to get nuclear weapons, and it would send a very

0:03:10 > 0:03:14dangerous signal to the rest of the world if the only agreement which

0:03:14 > 0:03:22prevents us from the proliferation of nuclear weapons would be negative

0:03:22 > 0:03:27effect. We very much agree on this point.They are all asking what

0:03:27 > 0:03:28America is going to do.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30And a brief time ago we got reaction from

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Democratic Senator Chris Coons, who sits on the Foreign

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Relations Committee.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37What are the chances, realistically, that the President is going to defy

0:03:37 > 0:03:42all of the European expertise on this, as well as his own national

0:03:42 > 0:03:45security team, and actually reimpose American sanctions on Iran?That is

0:03:45 > 0:03:49one of the challenges we face with our President. When he was a

0:03:49 > 0:03:52candidate, he promised he would be unconventional and unpredictable. He

0:03:52 > 0:03:59certainly outperformed in that Tata Group, so far as President. I am

0:03:59 > 0:04:02hopeful he will take seriously the advice of his National Security

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Adviser, his secretary of defence and state, and the concerns and

0:04:05 > 0:04:09interests of our vital European allies, and that he will recertify

0:04:09 > 0:04:14our continued participation in the JCPOA. I am also hopeful he will

0:04:14 > 0:04:18announce new sanctions on Iran that we can impose on their ballistic

0:04:18 > 0:04:22missile programme, on human rights violations, or on their support for

0:04:22 > 0:04:26terrorism in the region.Boris Johnson, the British Foreign

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Secretary, has challenged the White House to come up with something

0:04:28 > 0:04:33better than the existing deal. Is there something?There is nothing we

0:04:33 > 0:04:37are going to have enacted in the next few days. We need to continue

0:04:37 > 0:04:41this journey with our European partners of constraining Iran's

0:04:41 > 0:04:45nuclear weapon programme through the JCPOA. But we can and should work

0:04:45 > 0:04:48together to address some of the future challenges we will face

0:04:48 > 0:04:54because of sunsets in the JCPOA. Some diplomats have suggested that

0:04:54 > 0:04:58they are hearing that Iran is seriously considering walking away

0:04:58 > 0:05:02from this deal. If the President reimpose sanctions, is that they

0:05:02 > 0:05:06risk?Yes, if he were to reimpose nuclear related sanctions, they

0:05:06 > 0:05:10would be justified in walking away from JCPOA, because we would be

0:05:10 > 0:05:14breaking one of the core principles of the deal. If the President

0:05:14 > 0:05:17imposes sanctions that are specifically targeted at the

0:05:17 > 0:05:20ballistic missile programme, for example, that is clearly permitted

0:05:20 > 0:05:25under the JCPOA and clearly justified by Iran's ongoing

0:05:25 > 0:05:29aggressive behaviour and violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

0:05:29 > 0:05:35You and your colleagues on the foreign relations committee, your

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Democrat colleagues, have gathered evidence from European allies about

0:05:38 > 0:05:43Russian interference in democracies. You put out a report this week, 200

0:05:43 > 0:05:46pages long, an extraordinary read. You documented evidence of Russian

0:05:46 > 0:05:53operations in 19 European countries. That's right. A stunning moment in

0:05:53 > 0:05:58our history as a nation. We have such a clear and well documented

0:05:58 > 0:06:02assault, not just on America's democracy, but on the democracies

0:06:02 > 0:06:06and the electoral systems of so many of our allies across Europe and the

0:06:06 > 0:06:11West in the democratic world. Our President is failing to call this

0:06:11 > 0:06:13clearly for what it is. And organised Russian campaign of

0:06:13 > 0:06:19aggression to undermine democracy. He is failing to step up and prepare

0:06:19 > 0:06:22the United States for its next election, and to come to the aid and

0:06:22 > 0:06:26support of vital allies in Europe, as your elections continue to be

0:06:26 > 0:06:29threatened and undermined by this behaviour by Russia, it is

0:06:29 > 0:06:33flabbergasting. It is a failure of leadership to protect not just the

0:06:33 > 0:06:36United States and our homeland, but what makes us a democracy and our

0:06:36 > 0:06:43vital allies.What about the investigations? You also sit on the

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Judiciary Committee, the intelligence committee and the house

0:06:46 > 0:06:48intelligence committee, they all have investigation is ongoing. You

0:06:48 > 0:06:53came out of the Judiciary Committee and you said you are at an impasse,

0:06:53 > 0:06:59the politics is now getting in the way of the investigations. Explain?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Unfortunately, the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Committee has been trying to move into a different direction, to

0:07:05 > 0:07:09investigate different things, either far past actions or actions somehow

0:07:09 > 0:07:13related to Hillary Clinton and her campaign, rather than working with

0:07:13 > 0:07:18the minority leader and focusing on supporting an ongoing investigation

0:07:18 > 0:07:24into Russia's meddling and oversight of the obstruction of justice

0:07:24 > 0:07:30allegations, where the firing of former FBI director Jim Comey is one

0:07:30 > 0:07:34of the core issues. The Senate Judiciary Committee is responsible

0:07:34 > 0:07:37for the oversight of the American Department of Justice and the

0:07:37 > 0:07:43Federal bureau of investigation. It is in our jurisdiction to bring in

0:07:43 > 0:07:46witnesses, hold testimony. Sadly, on a partisan basis, the investigation

0:07:46 > 0:07:53has ground to a halt.Thank you for joining us.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58If you are trying to bring North Korea to the table, it sets a

0:07:58 > 0:08:01dangerous precedent if you walk away from a deal you have already signed

0:08:01 > 0:08:06with Iran, particularly when you're trying to get Korea to unilaterally

0:08:06 > 0:08:10disarm. When you're trying to prop up the moderates, there are

0:08:10 > 0:08:15investors that want to go there, but they are nervous. Every time we get

0:08:15 > 0:08:20a rhetorical flourish from Trump, they think, should we invest or

0:08:20 > 0:08:25might we lose money? You have heard there that they might be justified

0:08:25 > 0:08:29to walk away from a deal?I think that is part of the reason why

0:08:29 > 0:08:32people in Iran have been frustrated, they say that they were promised so

0:08:32 > 0:08:35much from the sanctions relief, it did not come because there have not

0:08:35 > 0:08:39been foreign investors. Iran is the the reason that European diplomats

0:08:39 > 0:08:42feel that they have to find a way to work with this unusual

0:08:42 > 0:08:46administration. I spoke to a top European diplomat just this week

0:08:46 > 0:08:50that was saying that we don't know, so close to this deadline on the

0:08:50 > 0:08:53sanctions waver, we just don't know which way the White House is going

0:08:53 > 0:08:57to go. That is a problem, when they are trying to craft their own

0:08:57 > 0:09:01policies. Iran is a huge factor in America's relations with its

0:09:01 > 0:09:05European allies at the moment.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08As we have just heard Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted

0:09:08 > 0:09:10there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13He accuses Democrats of carrying out a witch hunt and suggests

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Republicans should take charge of the investigations.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18He also says it is Hillary Clinton who should be investigated not him.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20At a press conference yesterday, the President used the phrase

0:09:20 > 0:09:29"no collusion" seven times in just one answer.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33There has been no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians, or

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Trump and Russians. No collusion. There is no pollution, there is no

0:09:37 > 0:09:40collusion. There was absolutely no pollution. But it has been

0:09:40 > 0:09:44determined there is no pollution. They have no collusion and nobody

0:09:44 > 0:09:49has found any collusion.No collusion.

0:09:52 > 0:10:00We can speak to the CEO of news Max. Clearly, the President is frustrated

0:10:00 > 0:10:03by this investigation. You speak to Donald Trump on a regular basis.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06What does he tell you about it and what he feels about the

0:10:06 > 0:10:15investigation?He tells me there is no collusion! I think he is exactly

0:10:15 > 0:10:20right in that. You know, they say, the President repeats himself a lot,

0:10:20 > 0:10:26there must be something wrong in the President, Donald Trump is a bit

0:10:26 > 0:10:31theatrical. He has a theatrical flair and he thinks that this is a

0:10:31 > 0:10:34way of reinforcing his message. He has been doing this for years where

0:10:34 > 0:10:39he repeats himself. There is nothing unusual. It is funny how I take it

0:10:39 > 0:10:43as normal and somebody else says it is strange that he keeps... He has a

0:10:43 > 0:10:49mantra, no collusion, because this President has been very cooperative,

0:10:49 > 0:10:54I think a lot more cooperative than I would ever advise them to be,

0:10:54 > 0:10:56certainly any other President under investigation, turning over

0:10:56 > 0:11:06documents, not exerting executive privilege, allowing key aides to be

0:11:06 > 0:11:09interviewed, opening himself up to questions, which I think he will be

0:11:09 > 0:11:15answering soon. I was not involved in the campaign, because I run

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Newsmax and we are independent. I have always been a friend of the

0:11:18 > 0:11:21President, I know a lot of people involved, and I don't think there is

0:11:21 > 0:11:27any evidence whatsoever of collusion between the Trump campaign and the

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Russians.You're right that it is effective, we picked that up and ran

0:11:31 > 0:11:35that for him several times in a row. Does he feel that this

0:11:35 > 0:11:38investigation, from Capitol Hill or the FBI, is overshadowing his

0:11:38 > 0:11:45presidency?Yes, I think he thinks it is being used as a blunt

0:11:45 > 0:11:51instrument against him, and certainly the media focus on it. You

0:11:51 > 0:11:54go on certain networks, which I will not name, cable news channels, all

0:11:54 > 0:11:58they do is talk about this. What I think is frustrating to him and his

0:11:58 > 0:12:03close friends and supporters is they have taken nothing and created it

0:12:03 > 0:12:09into something. Let me give you an example. If you look at this, this

0:12:09 > 0:12:16whole story, there is no evidence that there has been collusion with

0:12:16 > 0:12:21the Russians. We have two indictments and two plea agreements

0:12:21 > 0:12:29from Robert Mueller, and there is no evidence there. A lot of it starts

0:12:29 > 0:12:32with the so-called dossier, which comes to Britain, because all

0:12:32 > 0:12:37hearsay, it was a a lot of garbage. We have Ikea: going to

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Czechoslovakia, to Prague, for a secret meeting with the Russians,

0:12:40 > 0:12:47and he testified he has never been to Czechoslovakia and have no

0:12:47 > 0:12:51dealings with this people. It was just a lot of hearsay and gossip in

0:12:51 > 0:12:55a report. To have a major investigation come out of gossip, it

0:12:55 > 0:13:00is very bizarre.Of course, Chris, if we believe what is in Michael

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Wolff's group, Steve Bannon thinks the meetings between Donald Junior

0:13:03 > 0:13:10and the Russians was treasonous. That aside, is it easier, with

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Bannon out of the way, for the President to reach across the aisle

0:13:13 > 0:13:21and start to do some deals?Well, I disagree with Steve's treasonous, I

0:13:21 > 0:13:24don't think was not the way the meeting went down, but I think most

0:13:24 > 0:13:27campaigns would have taken the meeting in some shape or form. I

0:13:27 > 0:13:33don't think it was treasonous. I think Bannon was a weight on the

0:13:33 > 0:13:37President and was preventing him from moving to the centre. I believe

0:13:37 > 0:13:40the President's success and importance for the United States is

0:13:40 > 0:13:45that he moved to the centre of things like immigration,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47infrastructure, education, even national security issues. I think

0:13:47 > 0:13:51the Donald Trump I have known, I met him 20 years ago, will do that in

0:13:51 > 0:13:56short order. We are seeing signs of it. We are living through a very

0:13:56 > 0:13:59polarising period here. But I think he is the guy that can break

0:13:59 > 0:14:04through.When you say you have known him for 20 years, do you think

0:14:04 > 0:14:11sometimes he is conflicted in the way that he has to appeal to his

0:14:11 > 0:14:19base? Sometimes, I suspect that his instincts are Democrat?Well, I

0:14:19 > 0:14:24think he is more of a centrist. When I first knew him, he was a Democrat.

0:14:24 > 0:14:30I would say a conservative business Democrat, but a Democrat. He is a

0:14:30 > 0:14:33unifying guy. He is not an ideologue, that is the important

0:14:33 > 0:14:38thing you have to know about Donald Trump, Steve Bannon is and was an

0:14:38 > 0:14:43ideologue. He is not rigid, he likes getting deals done, he is very

0:14:43 > 0:14:47pragmatic. He will look at an issue and say, we need infrastructure, the

0:14:47 > 0:14:50country needs this modernisation and we need to be competitive around the

0:14:50 > 0:14:53world, a conservative might say we don't have the money, the Liberals

0:14:53 > 0:14:57say that the project should go for different things, Trump is more

0:14:57 > 0:15:00about, let's get this done for the good of the country.Chris, when did

0:15:00 > 0:15:09you last speak to the President and what is his mood?I saw him about

0:15:09 > 0:15:15ten days ago, I guess, when he was down in Florida. He was down here

0:15:15 > 0:15:23for that period of time over the holidays. He was happy, very

0:15:23 > 0:15:28gregarious. He had just gotten the tax bill through and he was looking

0:15:28 > 0:15:32forward to... In fact, he told me he thought he could do a lot of

0:15:32 > 0:15:35bipartisan legislation this year and that the Democrats, he thought, were

0:15:35 > 0:15:41very open to working with him.OK, thank you very much for joining us,

0:15:41 > 0:15:43always good to have you on the programme, please come back again

0:15:43 > 0:15:48soon.Thank you so much.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53It is nice and sunny in Florida, always interesting to get his

0:15:53 > 0:15:55thoughts, he is one of the people that has been close to the President

0:15:55 > 0:15:59for a long time. He downplayed it a little bit, but I know he speaks to

0:15:59 > 0:16:03him on a regular basis. You know, to try to get a sense of how the

0:16:03 > 0:16:07President is feeling, sometimes we get the perception between the

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Michael Wolff book, the tweets about nuclear buttons, that there is a lot

0:16:10 > 0:16:14of stress being pent up in the White House. Interesting to see whether

0:16:14 > 0:16:18that is being felt by his friends, and the degree to which they will

0:16:18 > 0:16:23tell us that.The thing for me, he talks about no collusion, I wonder

0:16:23 > 0:16:27if Robert Mueller has moved past that, he is looking at

0:16:27 > 0:16:30money-laundering, he has two guilty pleas, he is looking at obstruction

0:16:30 > 0:16:36of justice, not just solely about collusion. He has brought in a cyber

0:16:36 > 0:16:40expert we have heard. You wonder how ready Donald Trump to sit down with

0:16:40 > 0:16:45Robert Mueller. He said he was 100% ready to do it in summer, I am not

0:16:45 > 0:16:53sure he is 100% now.He kind of urged that and so yesterday. -- he

0:16:53 > 0:16:54kind of fudged that answer.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56In California, rescue teams are searching for eight people

0:16:56 > 0:16:58who are still missing after the flash floods

0:16:58 > 0:16:59and mudslides on Tuesday.

0:16:59 > 0:17:0217 people are known to have died when a torrent of mud carrying

0:17:02 > 0:17:05boulders the size of small cars smashed through the

0:17:05 > 0:17:06town of Montecito.

0:17:06 > 0:17:0965 homes have been destroyed - the area in Santa Barbara county

0:17:09 > 0:17:11was only just recovering from the recent

0:17:11 > 0:17:12devastating wildfires.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Our correspondent James Cook is there.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Turn around!

0:17:14 > 0:17:16The flash flood is right there!

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Get out of here, go!

0:17:17 > 0:17:19This is the moment it began.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Oh, my God!

0:17:26 > 0:17:27And then panic.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Close the door!

0:17:31 > 0:17:34It was a million miles an hour in slow motion,

0:17:34 > 0:17:35if that makes sense.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40I clicked in survival gear, survival mode.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Every second, it is just roaring and banging against the house

0:17:43 > 0:17:51and the most vicious and violent sounds you have ever heard.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Montecito has only just grasped the scale of the disaster

0:17:53 > 0:18:01which will bear its name.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04For this idyllic little town of just 9000 people,

0:18:04 > 0:18:05recovery will be long and hard.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06This was somebody's driveway.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07There are three cars destroyed.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12Buried inside that rubble.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Looking at this house, it is difficult to believe anyone

0:18:14 > 0:18:16on this street survived, but many did and their

0:18:17 > 0:18:22stories are remarkable.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25People walked the dogs through here, there are trails, my kids have grown

0:18:25 > 0:18:26up riding their bikes.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Noelle fled with her three children just before the storm.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31But many of her neighbours did not.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Two young boys were swept out of their home,

0:18:33 > 0:18:34along with their mother.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35In the middle of the night.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36And the dog is gone.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38And they are lucky to be fine.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40It is like a war zone here.

0:18:40 > 0:18:45There are homes that are just missing.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48And I walk down the street and I see balls, and toys, and bicycles

0:18:48 > 0:18:55and shoes and socks. And knives and hammers.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58It looks like people's lives are just washed to the ocean.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Much of the wreckage ended up clogging the main coastal motorway.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03The mountains above are scarred by rivers of debris.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Southern California was once famed for its agreeable climate.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07These days, it reels from drought, fire and flood.

0:19:07 > 0:19:17James Cook, BBC News, Montecito.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Steven Spielberg believes the Trump administration is using the same

0:19:23 > 0:19:25tactics as President Nixon used to try to silence the press.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27The Oscar-winning director was speaking to our arts editor,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Will Gompertz, ahead of the release of his latest film The Post,

0:19:30 > 0:19:35starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37This is a devastating security breach that was leaked

0:19:37 > 0:19:38out of the Pentagon.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Before the Watergate Scandal, there were the Pentagon Papers.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44The first expose a of a cover-up in the Nixon government

0:19:44 > 0:19:46by the Washington Post, led by its legendary editor Ben

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Bradlee and publisher Kay Graham.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Do you have the papers?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Set in 1971.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Yes.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57But you have described it as a timely movie.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03Well, obviously if you flip the 1 and the 7, or the 7 and the 1,

0:20:03 > 0:20:08you really get to see the great arc of the pendulum that has brought us

0:20:08 > 0:20:10right back to the same tactics that Richard Nixon used

0:20:10 > 0:20:15to try to silence the press.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm talking about the current administration and their absolute

0:20:17 > 0:20:19broadsiding of media, social media, news,

0:20:19 > 0:20:27anybody that offends.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29You know, there is a label that is immediately attached

0:20:29 > 0:20:33to them, well, that can't be true, because they're all fake news.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36I mean, it's a lot more insidious today, by the way,

0:20:36 > 0:20:37than it was in 1971.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40If you publish, we'll be in the Supreme Court next week.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Meaning?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45We could all go to prison.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48There's been another massive press expose the last six months,

0:20:48 > 0:20:51it looks like the endemic sexual harassment and exploitation

0:20:51 > 0:20:56of women in Hollywood.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I mean, you're a really senior figure in Hollywood and you've

0:20:59 > 0:21:01been around a long time.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Do you ever think, you know what, I think I could

0:21:04 > 0:21:06have done a bit more to stop this?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Well, you know, I can only basically react to that question

0:21:09 > 0:21:13within my own workplace environment.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Within my organisation, there weren't incidences,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19except for a couple of years and years ago, that I would say

0:21:19 > 0:21:21gave me the experiences to be the authority

0:21:21 > 0:21:22on that question you ask.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25What happened in those incidences?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Just a couple of incidences, I don't want to go into detail on them,

0:21:28 > 0:21:30but they happened years and years ago, where we had

0:21:30 > 0:21:33to let somebody go.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36People are concerned about having a woman in charge of the paper.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Think she doesn't have the resolve to make the tough choices.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43Thank you for your frankness.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46My prediction is that this watershed moment for women,

0:21:46 > 0:21:48in extolling the courage of women who, like Katherine Graham,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51with the Pentagon Papers, with her decision to publish or not

0:21:51 > 0:21:54to publish, so many women have found their voices and they have

0:21:54 > 0:21:58been given so much support.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Not just by other women, but also by certain men.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05I think this is not just another news cycle.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09I think this is a permanent change in the culture.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Maybe.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13But as Kay Graham showed with her courageous leadership

0:22:13 > 0:22:15of the Washington Post, exposing deeply rooted corrupt

0:22:15 > 0:22:17behaviour is one thing - changing it is quite another.

0:22:17 > 0:22:25Will Gompertz, BBC News.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29I can't wait to see that movie. Have you seen it?Not yet, looking

0:22:29 > 0:22:35forward to it.Apparently it is really good, she is meant to be

0:22:35 > 0:22:37great as Kay Graham.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39We've talked this week about the buzz surrounding Oprah Winfrey -

0:22:39 > 0:22:42I think it's Christian's favourite story - and whether she's planning

0:22:42 > 0:22:45to run for President after giving a rousing speech at the Golden

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Globes.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Well she got a bit more backing today.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51In an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, both Meryl Streep

0:22:51 > 0:22:53and Tom Hanks were asked whether they thought

0:22:53 > 0:22:58Oprah Winfrey is running - here's their glowing endorsement.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Well, I don't know if she was thinking that specifically, although

0:23:02 > 0:23:09I do here now that she is really considering it. But she certainly

0:23:09 > 0:23:12set the bar pretty high for anybody else that decides to run, because no

0:23:12 > 0:23:24one can speak in less lofty terms and adhere to principle and passion

0:23:24 > 0:23:28in a legal campaign, because we have seen it as possible. That is how you

0:23:28 > 0:23:33rouse people. That was the voice of a leader. You know, I pity whoever

0:23:33 > 0:23:40does try to run.I believe Oprah is some other kind of social force, one

0:23:40 > 0:23:42of the kind that has never existed before, quite attractive. I believe

0:23:42 > 0:23:46she wakes up in the morning, both personally and professionally,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49wonders what she can do, specifically, in order to make the

0:23:49 > 0:23:53world a better place. Maybe it is a very local event, maybe it is going

0:23:53 > 0:23:58out and giving voice to something that needs to be given voice to. We

0:23:58 > 0:24:02had proven, I think, in the last few years, that if you want to be

0:24:02 > 0:24:05President of the United States, guess what, there is a way that can

0:24:05 > 0:24:11happen, because...That is one thing Trump has shown.Indeed.Here is

0:24:11 > 0:24:15where I see the problem for Oprah Winfrey. When we talk about Donald

0:24:15 > 0:24:19Trump, there is a tweet for every occasion, you can go back to 2009,

0:24:19 > 0:24:23and find one to fit the occasion. Imagine if you did that with Oprah

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Winfrey. She has been a chat show host for 25 years. People could go

0:24:27 > 0:24:31back and find out her thoughts on everything, right across the social

0:24:31 > 0:24:36spectrum. How would she survived that sort of scrutiny?I have two

0:24:36 > 0:24:43words for you, Access Hollywood. Donald Trump survived revelations we

0:24:43 > 0:24:46never thought he would do. We thought his campaign was totally

0:24:46 > 0:24:51sunk by those comments he made about women on tape. And he is now

0:24:51 > 0:24:55President of the United States. Here is the interesting thing for me,

0:24:55 > 0:24:58watching two liberal media stars, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep saying it

0:24:58 > 0:25:03would be great if she won, she has set the bar high. Those are the same

0:25:03 > 0:25:06people who said Donald Trump should never run for office, he has no

0:25:06 > 0:25:09experience, does not know how to be President and has never been elected

0:25:09 > 0:25:13to anything. If they apply that standard to Donald Trump, I am not

0:25:13 > 0:25:21sure how they can't apply it to Oprah Winfrey, which I think is the

0:25:21 > 0:25:23fear of some Democrats, that this builds momentum and she is not

0:25:23 > 0:25:26qualified, that she cannot make it to the election process.2020 is so

0:25:26 > 0:25:35far away, isn't it?It will come in a nanosecond!Who will come out of

0:25:35 > 0:25:38the Democrat would work? The one thing in her favour is that she has

0:25:38 > 0:25:40the star factor, something the Democrats are desperately looking

0:25:40 > 0:25:42for.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News -

0:25:49 > 0:25:52why countries around the world are lining up to condemn Myanmar

0:25:52 > 0:25:54over the arrest of two journalists who the government wants to charge

0:25:54 > 0:25:56with breaking the Official Secrets Act.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59And a freedom of speech issue or a question of tone?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01The online vlogger who's fallen out of favour with YouTube

0:26:01 > 0:26:03after posting the body of a suicide victim.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06That's still to come.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Hello. If the truth were known, it has been something of a mishmash of

0:26:16 > 0:26:20a day across the British Isles, at its very best. There was pledge of

0:26:20 > 0:26:26sunshine on offer in Wales and spots elsewhere. The truth of the matter

0:26:26 > 0:26:30is that there was a lot of clout to be had and some mist and fog

0:26:30 > 0:26:34lingered through the course of the day. One of those lead in January

0:26:34 > 0:26:36days. There you can see on the satellite imagery that there were

0:26:36 > 0:26:40some decent islands of sunshine. Through the evening and overnight,

0:26:40 > 0:26:45we will find that the cloud will part in one or two locations, and

0:26:45 > 0:26:51that will lead to some fog, a death like we had last night. Where the

0:26:51 > 0:26:55skies stay clear, particularly so in the West, there could be a touch of

0:26:55 > 0:26:58frost around proceedings and especially so in the countryside,

0:26:58 > 0:27:02just that fraction milder towards the east. Friday morning, I think

0:27:02 > 0:27:05there are no great issues with fog across the north-western quarter of

0:27:05 > 0:27:10Scotland. As soon as you drift a little further east down into the

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Borders, there could be a little bit of an issue. Northern Ireland, not

0:27:13 > 0:27:17such an issue. If there was any fog overnight, I think it will be blown

0:27:17 > 0:27:21away, the commute of the morning. Quite a chilly start across western

0:27:21 > 0:27:26parts. I think this is where we will see the densest of the fog, through

0:27:26 > 0:27:30the East, East Anglia, parts of the south-east, I don't think it will be

0:27:30 > 0:27:34much of an issue. A lot of cloud and dry whether to be had on Friday. The

0:27:34 > 0:27:38best of the sunshine through western parts, cross high ground as well,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41helping to break up some of the cloud. Again, it will be Aprilia

0:27:41 > 0:27:48leaden sort of day. Friday into Saturday, we freshen up those winds,

0:27:48 > 0:27:52which will help with the fog situation we have had over the last

0:27:52 > 0:27:58couple of nights. It is freshening up, the wind, head of a said of

0:27:58 > 0:28:04weather fronts, bringing a wet day into Northern Ireland. Gradually

0:28:04 > 0:28:07easing further east, the weather front, taking the prospect of rain

0:28:07 > 0:28:11into western Scotland, western England, through Wales. Dry

0:28:11 > 0:28:14conditions to finish the day in Northern Ireland. From Saturday into

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Sunday, join the dots, that is the old weather front. A new one showing

0:28:18 > 0:28:22at hand across the western quarter of the British Isles. Not the

0:28:22 > 0:28:26coldest days by any means at all. Make the most of it because once the

0:28:26 > 0:28:29weather front comes through during the course of Monday, the rest of

0:28:29 > 0:28:35the week is much colder and a tad more wintry.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09This is Beyond 100 Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington -

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Christian Fraser's in London.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Our top stories -

0:30:12 > 0:30:15European powers call on President Trump to uphold a deal

0:30:15 > 0:30:17on Iran's nuclear programme - struck by his predecessor

0:30:17 > 0:30:26Barack Obama in 2015.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31When he was a candidate he promised that he would be unconventional and

0:30:31 > 0:30:32unpredictable. He

0:30:32 > 0:30:33that he would be unconventional and unpredictable. He certainly

0:30:33 > 0:30:36outperformed in that category so far as president.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Some incredible pictures to share with you from California,

0:30:39 > 0:30:41the moment a car was caught in the devastating mudslides

0:30:41 > 0:30:44which have killed 17 people - eight others are still missing.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Coming up in the next half hour -

0:30:47 > 0:30:52He was the Brexiteer-in-chief, so why is Nigel Farage

0:30:52 > 0:30:57warming to the idea of another EU referendum?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00And raiding the Ritz - two robbers remain on the run

0:31:00 > 0:31:03after stealing millions of dollars worth of jewels, from

0:31:03 > 0:31:03the glitzy hotel in Paris.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19Earlier this week we had Nigel Farage on the programme,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21the Brexiteer in chief, talking about his trip to Brussels

0:31:21 > 0:31:24and his meeting with the EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Today Mr Farage said he is close to backing a second EU referendum

0:31:27 > 0:31:29in order to end the "whinging and whining" of

0:31:29 > 0:31:30anti-Brexit campaigners.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's probably the first time the former UK Independence Party

0:31:32 > 0:31:35leader and the Pro-EU campaigners have seen eye to eye.

0:31:35 > 0:31:45"Bring it on" said the Remainers today.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51Maybe, just maybe, I've reached a point in thinking that we should

0:31:51 > 0:31:57have a second referendum...On what? On EU membership.The whole thing?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00Of course!

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Let's bring in our chief political correspondent Vicki Young

0:32:02 > 0:32:03who's in Westminster.

0:32:03 > 0:32:08He's been doing his radio programme on LBC radio this evening, he said

0:32:08 > 0:32:14he was meeting Michel Barnier on Monday, and he is now convinced that

0:32:14 > 0:32:18Michel Barnier will not "Give us a good deal". I'm saying this to

0:32:18 > 0:32:23Leavers, do not be complacent.He is elaborating on comments he made

0:32:23 > 0:32:28earlier. There has been a backlash for Nigel Farage, the man getting

0:32:28 > 0:32:33that referendum and who has long advocated the UK's departure from

0:32:33 > 0:32:38the EU, suggesting that he welcomed a second referendum. A lot of

0:32:38 > 0:32:41leading Brexiteers have said that is the wrong thing to do, even members

0:32:41 > 0:32:47of Ukip, of which Nigel Farage the former leader is still a member of,

0:32:47 > 0:32:52they say that is not part of the policy. On his radio programme

0:32:52 > 0:32:55tonight, he has said that he does not want there to be a second

0:32:55 > 0:32:59referendum but after his meeting with Michel Barnier, as you say, he

0:32:59 > 0:33:03came away thinking that UK wasn't going to get a good deal and in that

0:33:03 > 0:33:08eventuality he thought the British parliament would say rather than

0:33:08 > 0:33:14walk away from the EU that there should be a second vote. He suggests

0:33:14 > 0:33:21that Leavers, those who want the UK to depart from the EU should not be

0:33:21 > 0:33:24complacent but gear up for the possibility of another referendum,

0:33:24 > 0:33:28he said that there could be another dramatic battle go to come.Alex,

0:33:28 > 0:33:33talk about political odd couples, this puts Labour Nigel Farage in the

0:33:33 > 0:33:38same bracket with Remainer, Tony Blair. I cannot believe either of

0:33:38 > 0:33:42them have a lot of time for one another but they seem convinced if

0:33:42 > 0:33:47there was a second referendum that their side would win?That is what

0:33:47 > 0:33:51is interesting about this, not just Tony Blair but other Labour MPs,

0:33:51 > 0:33:55Liberal Democrats in the UK say that they welcomed the idea of another

0:33:55 > 0:33:59referendum. Looking at opinion polls, broadly speaking they are not

0:33:59 > 0:34:04clear, it depends on the question they are asked. You can summarise

0:34:04 > 0:34:09that there has been a shift towards people wanting to get on with

0:34:09 > 0:34:16Brexit, including people who wanted the UK to remain before. There a

0:34:16 > 0:34:23rise in the number of people who thought the outcome of the

0:34:23 > 0:34:26referendum was wrong. We don't know the result but as you say both sides

0:34:26 > 0:34:31are convinced that their side would win if it were to be rerun and a

0:34:31 > 0:34:35strange combination of Nigel Farage, cheap Brexiteer, the bedfellow of

0:34:35 > 0:34:43some hard remainders, albeit with others for different reasons.There

0:34:43 > 0:34:46was Nigel Farage on his radio programme saying that he wanted to

0:34:46 > 0:34:49send Tony Blair into outer space, this would decide it once and for

0:34:49 > 0:34:56all. But if there were to be a second referendum, he's proposing

0:34:56 > 0:34:59the same as before, but if it goes the other way, would this be the

0:34:59 > 0:35:07best-of-3?Brexiteers would say that it was close last time, let's have a

0:35:38 > 0:35:42they make of this in Brussels! It does not really play to their

0:35:52 > 0:35:54President Trump's national security team is reportedly advising him not

0:35:54 > 0:35:55to re-impose US sanctions on Iran.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58The European partners to the nuclear deal came together in Brussels today

0:35:58 > 0:36:01to urge the President to maintain the waiver on sanctions.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03But what if he doesn't?

0:36:03 > 0:36:13A short while ago he was asked on this.Thank you.On Iran...You will

0:36:13 > 0:36:19be finding out soon. Thank you. Finding out very soon, he likes to

0:36:19 > 0:36:20keep us on tenterhooks!

0:36:20 > 0:36:24Karim Sadjapour is an Iran expert with the Carnegie Endowment.

0:36:24 > 0:36:29I spoke to him a short while ago. Why is President Trump prevaricating

0:36:29 > 0:36:33over the sanctions and the waiver? He made it clear he hates the deal

0:36:33 > 0:36:39and he wants to rip it up? That's right, he's always been sceptical of

0:36:39 > 0:36:44the deal, he called it the worst deal in history. The other thing

0:36:44 > 0:36:50about President Trump is that he is sceptical of what he calls "Expert

0:36:50 > 0:36:53opinion and conventional wisdom". He likes to think he's thought of these

0:36:53 > 0:36:58on a few occasions and the blowback hasn't been what people expected but

0:36:58 > 0:37:05in this case, almost all of his senior national security advisers

0:37:05 > 0:37:10have advised him not to blow up the nuclear deal. In some ways, he is

0:37:10 > 0:37:15doing this against his own instincts quite reluctantly.If the sanctions

0:37:15 > 0:37:21were reimposed, would it indeed blow up the deal?If you sanction around

0:37:21 > 0:37:25because you say they are not in compliance with the nuclear deal,

0:37:25 > 0:37:33which according to them, they are still in compliance, that would be

0:37:33 > 0:37:38because the US has reneged on its end of the deal and therefore it

0:37:38 > 0:37:43will reconstitute nuclear activities. Therefore, nuclear

0:37:43 > 0:37:48related sanctions against Iran could unravel the nuclear deal.You phrase

0:37:48 > 0:37:55it interestingly, the president, basically, the problem is America

0:37:55 > 0:38:00faces a choice where if it isolates Iran further, you drive it in the

0:38:00 > 0:38:05direction of North Korea and then it becomes more like South Korea,

0:38:05 > 0:38:08embracing it and engaging it, is that message getting through to the

0:38:08 > 0:38:15White House?It's a very compact challenge for the White House and

0:38:15 > 0:38:21the US Congress, in that, again, if you want to present agriculture

0:38:21 > 0:38:26event the regime that has required economic isolation, the US

0:38:26 > 0:38:31government has done that well against Iran but if you try and help

0:38:31 > 0:38:35Iranians society become like South Korea it requires more political and

0:38:35 > 0:38:38economic reintegration and in some ways, these policies are at

0:38:38 > 0:38:44loggerheads, they contradict one another and I would argue that the

0:38:44 > 0:38:51nuclear deal is one way of checking both boxes. The deal keeps Iran

0:38:51 > 0:38:55tethered to its nuclear obligations, to greater transparency. But at the

0:38:55 > 0:39:02same time, it helps Iran's economy, certainly not reintegrate with the

0:39:02 > 0:39:06United States but with other parts of the world that are interested in

0:39:06 > 0:39:11doing business with Iran, whether it is Europe or Asia.And briefly, what

0:39:11 > 0:39:19about the recent riots playing into the US's calculations?He feels that

0:39:19 > 0:39:25a time when the Iranian regime is using overwhelming force to harm

0:39:25 > 0:39:29citizens aspirations for a greater economy and more pluralism, why

0:39:29 > 0:39:33should we be agreeing to economic sanctions and lifting economic

0:39:33 > 0:39:38sanctions against Iran which simply provide the regime with more

0:39:38 > 0:39:43resources to be oppressive?OK, thank you.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45Myanmar is in the spotlight again after sentencing two Reuters

0:39:45 > 0:39:47journalists to prison for 14 years.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49The pair were charged with offences under

0:39:49 > 0:39:49the Official Secrets Act in Myanmar.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were arrested last month

0:39:54 > 0:39:59after meeting police.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02They were covering the situation in Rakhine state where more

0:40:02 > 0:40:02'S

0:40:02 > 0:40:04than half a million Muslims have fled a deadly military crackdown.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07Steven Butler is the Asia programme coordinator for the Committee

0:40:07 > 0:40:12to Protect Journalists and joins me now.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16thank you for coming in. What more do we know on the circumstances of

0:40:16 > 0:40:20these journalists, how they are being held and what they are accused

0:40:20 > 0:40:24of doing?They are accused of holding documents the government

0:40:24 > 0:40:28deems to be secret. They are being held in prison and so far as we know

0:40:28 > 0:40:31they've not been mistreated, they've told their families that and their

0:40:31 > 0:40:35lawyer. They should be out of jail, they shouldn't be in there in the

0:40:35 > 0:40:48first place.That 14 year sentence, it's fixed,

0:40:48 > 0:40:51could it be lifted?They haven't been sentenced, they've been charged

0:40:51 > 0:40:53under the official secrets act and if they are convicted they face

0:40:53 > 0:40:55potentially 14 years in prison. We don't know what will happen. There's

0:40:55 > 0:40:58another hearing on the 23rd, the lawyers have asked for bail and the

0:40:58 > 0:41:01trial is yet to take place.The aim is to intimidate foreign press, or

0:41:01 > 0:41:06the press more generally?Yes, to prevent journalists from covering

0:41:06 > 0:41:11the tragedy unfolding in the racking state with the range of people.And

0:41:11 > 0:41:16you have suggested that there is some evidence that perhaps this was

0:41:16 > 0:41:21a setup?Absolutely, if you look at what they told their families, they

0:41:21 > 0:41:24were invited to meet police and given documents before they left,

0:41:24 > 0:41:28told that they could read the documents when they arrived home but

0:41:28 > 0:41:33immediately as soon as they left they were arrested. With the

0:41:33 > 0:41:41documents that form the basis of the charges.It is always tricky, in

0:41:41 > 0:41:45this situation, do you speak out publicly or do interviews? What's

0:41:45 > 0:41:57the best way to operate? You want to do the best for those in custody?I

0:41:57 > 0:42:02think first of all, you provide them with legal help, that is happening

0:42:02 > 0:42:06and secondly, you work with other organisations like the committee to

0:42:06 > 0:42:09protect journalists and other groups, mobilising governments to

0:42:09 > 0:42:16put pressure on the Myanmar regime. That is happening, there's a

0:42:16 > 0:42:21unanimous voice. That this is unfair.How far can bemoan my

0:42:21 > 0:42:28government to sustain that kind of international opprobrium at the

0:42:28 > 0:42:32moment? Wouldn't it add to condemnation?We don't know the

0:42:32 > 0:42:38answer to that, we have seen Myanmar had a military role and survived for

0:42:38 > 0:42:43decades from this kind of pressure. You have to wonder, perhaps they are

0:42:43 > 0:42:47getting ready to face that again? We don't know the answer but I do think

0:42:47 > 0:42:54the international pressure is the only realistic tool in their arsenal

0:42:54 > 0:42:59to make changes there.Steven Butler, thank you. Thank you for

0:42:59 > 0:43:02coming in. Our thoughts go to those two journalists in Myanmar facing

0:43:02 > 0:43:08these long prison sentences. The crackdown on journalism around the

0:43:08 > 0:43:12world, press freedom is under threat in countries like Myanmar, where

0:43:12 > 0:43:16there is a lot of political pressure. They do have writers

0:43:16 > 0:43:20behind them and that puts them in a slightly stronger position. Reuters

0:43:20 > 0:43:23can rally attention and legal resources, there are many

0:43:23 > 0:43:27journalists who are freelancers without that kind of backing.It

0:43:27 > 0:43:32does make a difference, I have been there. I used to be a correspondence

0:43:32 > 0:43:36in Cairo and I was once arrested near the border near Gaza. We were

0:43:36 > 0:43:42in prison for most of the day and you think, this will be all right...

0:43:42 > 0:43:46Then that is part of you that thinks, maybe it won't? But it

0:43:46 > 0:43:50certainly helps, when the BBC is involved and the BBC's name around

0:43:50 > 0:43:55the world. I'm sure that's the case for Reuters. Those charges they are

0:43:55 > 0:43:59facing and the sentence, in actual fact, the law they are operating on

0:43:59 > 0:44:05is British law. A secret law that Britain implemented in the country

0:44:05 > 0:44:11back in the 1920s when it was Burma. Let's hope that they are free soon

0:44:11 > 0:44:15and can go back to their families. Let's stay in the country.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18Well, still in the country and the Myanmar military has

0:44:22 > 0:44:23in a mass grave.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26The incident took place in the village of Inn Din.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28The army says it was in the region to fight Rohingya

0:44:28 > 0:44:33militants known as ARSA.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37of Inn Din after clashes with the security forces.

0:44:40 > 0:44:41the village before the clashes.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44The ten men found in the mass grave - had been arrested

0:44:44 > 0:44:45as suspected members of ARSA.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48The army said they didn't have trucks to transport them

0:44:48 > 0:44:55to the police station - so they executed them on the spot.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57Certainly we need journalists in the country.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Ambassador Peter Hoekstra was asked repeatedly by Dutch reporters

0:45:48 > 0:45:51whether he still stood by the remarks, in which he said

0:53:00 > 0:53:02I'm just getting warmed up.

0:53:02 > 0:53:08Amol Rajan, BBC News.

0:53:08 > 0:53:13This is interesting, I was speaking about this to my daughter, Poppy,

0:53:13 > 0:53:18very familiar with his work. It was the only news story that she was

0:53:18 > 0:53:23aware of, the whole controversy surrounding him, unsurprising that

0:53:23 > 0:53:2650 million subscribers last year, last year he made $12.5 million and

0:53:26 > 0:53:32now there is criticism of YouTube and it took them 12 days to respond,

0:53:32 > 0:53:36that they did not take the video down, Logan Paul took it down.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Should they have done something faster? We are hearing this kind of

0:53:40 > 0:53:44criticism about all social media companies. Do they need more

0:53:44 > 0:53:49regulation?He doesn't work for YouTube, he posts on a social

0:53:49 > 0:53:52platform. When you work for a big organisation like the BBC there is a

0:53:52 > 0:53:57code of ethics and the ethics of communication. YouTube provide

0:53:57 > 0:54:01guidance and puts trust in people who are quite young and you are

0:54:01 > 0:54:05asking them to get it right all the time. It is a big ask and part of

0:54:05 > 0:54:08the problem. The other issue made today is that very often the

0:54:08 > 0:54:13sanctions are not strong enough for people who digress, and they need to

0:54:13 > 0:54:16impose those sanctions more than they do.Yes.

0:54:16 > 0:54:21A firm that supplied lingerie to the Queen has lost its royal

0:54:23 > 0:54:25which revealed details of royal bra fittings.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27The company Rigby & Peller, had held the royal warrant

0:54:28 > 0:54:29for more than 50 years.

0:54:29 > 0:54:31It said it was "deeply saddened" by the decision.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33Buckingham Palace has said it does not "comment

0:54:33 > 0:54:38on individual companies".

0:54:38 > 0:54:43Nor will I comment on that particular story!No, moving along!

0:54:43 > 0:54:45We're going to stick with the royal theme,

0:54:45 > 0:54:51and that's because Prince William's been put on the spot

0:54:51 > 0:54:54over his brother, Prince Harry's wedding on the 19th of May.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56Wills, who's second in line to the throne, was filming

0:54:59 > 0:55:01captain Rio Ferdinand, and London DJ Roman Kemp -

0:55:01 > 0:55:02when this happened.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05There is the matter of a small wedding that will happen this year -

0:55:05 > 0:55:08of course, your brother - we're very happy for him...

0:55:08 > 0:55:10It was a big decision.

0:55:10 > 0:55:14Are we going to Wembley, or are we going to...

0:55:14 > 0:55:17LAUGHTERStill working it out.

0:55:17 > 0:55:18I'll have to see what I can do.

0:55:18 > 0:55:22I think, you know, having that that, and the skin of

0:55:37 > 0:55:41I'm not sure what royal protocol is that I don't think you can snub the

0:55:41 > 0:55:48future King of England as the best man, can you?Not without causing a

0:55:48 > 0:55:52lot of sibling rivalry and problems! The fact he's had to go on

0:55:52 > 0:55:56television and say that he hasn't asked me yet, how long has it been

0:55:56 > 0:55:59since they announced their engagement? He's had long enough!

0:55:59 > 0:56:04Carrie, get on with it!I don't think he realises how much work goes

0:56:04 > 0:56:08into planning the stag do, you've got to get on with it!I'm sure he's

0:56:08 > 0:56:15aware of that! I think he will do a good job there!Coming up, Ros

0:56:18 > 0:56:24headlines. We are here on Monday evening! It has been a long week!
