0:00:15 > 0:00:17You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days

0:00:17 > 0:00:19America celebrates the birth of Martin Luther King

0:00:19 > 0:00:22as Donald Trump is asked "are you a racist?"

0:00:22 > 0:00:24The President denies the charge and says

0:00:24 > 0:00:26he is the least racist person ever to be interviewed.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28But Donald Trump's slur against African nations is already

0:00:28 > 0:00:30stoking political divisions in the country and concern

0:00:30 > 0:00:32around the world.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34When clicking yes instead of no sends

0:00:34 > 0:00:37a nation to high alert - it was human error that terrified

0:00:37 > 0:00:42Hawaii this weekend.

0:00:42 > 0:00:52Also on the programme...

0:00:52 > 0:00:53We will be live in Bangladesh -

0:00:53 > 0:00:56in the refugee camp where the Rohingya Muslims are now

0:00:56 > 0:00:57threatened by disease.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Thousands of jobs are at stake as the global construction giant

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Carillion collapses.

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Get in touch with us using the hashtag...

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hello and welcome - I'm Katty Kay in Washington

0:01:07 > 0:01:11and Christian Fraser is in London.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Today Americans celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King in 1929.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Traditionally the country pauses to remember the triumph of the civil

0:01:17 > 0:01:21rights movement and the tragedy of King's assassination.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23This year the holiday comes as the US President has

0:01:23 > 0:01:27to answer the question - are you a racist?

0:01:27 > 0:01:28On Friday the President seemed to be revelling

0:01:28 > 0:01:35in the controversy he had stirred.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Perhaps it would go down well with his supporters.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40But in a brief interchange with reporters at Mar

0:01:40 > 0:01:42a Lago this weekend, he was denying he had

0:01:42 > 0:01:43ever used the word, with which we are all now familiar.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00That was President Trump this weekend.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03To put that in the context of American history,

0:02:03 > 0:02:04here is Martin Luther King, writing

0:02:04 > 0:02:06from an Alabama jail in 1963.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09"Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial

0:02:09 > 0:02:11prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of

0:02:11 > 0:02:14misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with

0:02:19 > 0:02:29all their scintillating beauty."

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Joining us now is David Ignatius from the Washington Post. Let's

0:02:36 > 0:02:43start with America. We hear those two leaders Martin Luther King and

0:02:43 > 0:02:51Donald Trump. What impact does what he has said how vain America.His

0:02:51 > 0:02:59comments have reduced the value that the United States have. On our

0:02:59 > 0:03:05reputation, that intangible trust that people around the world has of

0:03:05 > 0:03:11United States as having strong values. Today, we remember Martin

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Luther King a particular embodiment of those values. Goodwill is an

0:03:14 > 0:03:21intangible asset over and above book value, the hard power of a country.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Countries are like that with goodwill and our goodwill has been

0:03:25 > 0:03:32torn down, diminished by President Trump in many ways. Most strikingly

0:03:32 > 0:03:35by these comments which clearly offend people in many countries

0:03:35 > 0:03:40around the world.These are countries that the United States has

0:03:40 > 0:03:46to do business with, countries in Africa, even with Haiti, US

0:03:46 > 0:03:50companies have operations in those countries.It's something that

0:03:50 > 0:03:55President Trump hasn't understood from the day he took office. Our

0:03:55 > 0:03:59security is a matter of interdependence. We are strong

0:03:59 > 0:04:02because we exercise power with and through other countries and we need

0:04:02 > 0:04:09that trust and willingness to move and work with the United States. The

0:04:09 > 0:04:14UK, traditionally our closest ally, ensuring that the president isn't

0:04:14 > 0:04:18going to visit London, that worries me.The president is going to Davos

0:04:18 > 0:04:25next week to raise the cause of American companies there. There are

0:04:25 > 0:04:28those who are nervous about America first and they are not going to like

0:04:28 > 0:04:33the idea that it is white first. They are not going to like it at all

0:04:33 > 0:04:41and nor should they. In going to Davos, Donald Trump is doing

0:04:41 > 0:04:47something that would have surprised many of his supporters. Steve Bannon

0:04:47 > 0:04:51characterised Davos as the centre of the global elite that Donald Trump

0:04:51 > 0:04:55was running against. It's interesting that he is going. I'm

0:04:55 > 0:04:59sure he will make a popular speech from Davos. The question that the

0:04:59 > 0:05:05world should ask is whether Donald Trump is going to be an effective

0:05:05 > 0:05:09steward of American power and alliances and the relationships,

0:05:09 > 0:05:14really the way the world has been run since 1945. If he is going to

0:05:14 > 0:05:20walk away from it, the world is going to be unhappy.The concern I

0:05:20 > 0:05:23have heard here particularly from African-Americans and minority

0:05:23 > 0:05:27groups is that it doesn't really matter the language that the

0:05:27 > 0:05:31president used, it's the intention that he has as trying to make

0:05:31 > 0:05:36America a country where white immigrants are but not black

0:05:36 > 0:05:43immigrants, or brown immigrants, or yellow immigrants. That is what they

0:05:43 > 0:05:49are worried he is trying to do.It shouldn't be a question of full

0:05:49 > 0:05:53charity or a nasty turn, that would be unpleasant and upsetting but --

0:05:53 > 0:06:04full charity. Four. Looking at his interest in the presidency since he

0:06:04 > 0:06:09suggested that by Raka Obama was not really an American, you go back to

0:06:09 > 0:06:13his history in real estate, the federal government sued him during

0:06:13 > 0:06:17the Nixon years for discriminatory practices in real estate. So many

0:06:17 > 0:06:21instances over such a long period which should raise the question does

0:06:21 > 0:06:27Donald Trump look at lax and minorities in a fair way as required

0:06:27 > 0:06:34is required under our laws and traditions. It is not just that one

0:06:34 > 0:06:41comment. It is a whole chain of events.We want to ask you about

0:06:41 > 0:06:48North Korea and Hawaii in a second. Today of all days it is striking how

0:06:48 > 0:06:55much this debate about race in this country has been raised again and

0:06:55 > 0:06:59what the country is going to be under the president and what kind of

0:06:59 > 0:07:03country does he wanted to be? That is the concern that

0:07:03 > 0:07:06African-Americans have. It is not the words but the intent of what he

0:07:06 > 0:07:11said that they worrying. The interesting thing about the denials

0:07:11 > 0:07:16is it doesn't come down to whether he says the word or not but what he

0:07:16 > 0:07:22seems to be saying in this meeting with senators is riding countries

0:07:22 > 0:07:27that are populated with Brown and black people but lauding a country

0:07:27 > 0:07:30like Norway which is predominantly white. They are only denying the

0:07:30 > 0:07:40word that he used. The actual terminology. I think it's a

0:07:40 > 0:07:46distinction without validity. Is it the country that America has always

0:07:46 > 0:07:48projected itself as.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51The Pope is worried we are at the very edge

0:07:51 > 0:07:53of an accidental nuclear war.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55He made the comments to reporters en route to Latin America shortly

0:07:55 > 0:07:58after a false alarm in Hawaii sparked fears of a missile attack.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00"one accident is enough to precipitate things,"

0:08:00 > 0:08:01the pontiff said.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04And all because an employee of the Hawaii

0:08:04 > 0:08:07emergency management agency had picked the wrong drop down box

0:08:07 > 0:08:08on his computer screen.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Something like this.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Missile alert - instead of "test missile alert".

0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's known in the business as a UX error.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18A failed user experience.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21"Oops!"

0:08:21 > 0:08:26said the front page of Hawaii's Star Advertiser.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29They bring word that the employee with the errant finger

0:08:29 > 0:08:37has since been reassigned.

0:08:37 > 0:08:47Back to David Ignatius. Why was there not a fail-safe method within

0:08:47 > 0:08:51this, checked by more than one employee or warning on the screen

0:08:51 > 0:08:59and why couldn't they cancel it without having to go to FEMA first?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03I hope every other federal agencies looking at those questions. It is

0:09:03 > 0:09:12not as though this is the first time an accident like this has happened.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15A former national security adviser was phoned in the middle of a per

0:09:15 > 0:09:19night with somebody telling him that the Russian missiles had been

0:09:19 > 0:09:26launched and were on their way, two minutes, as he remembered it to make

0:09:26 > 0:09:31a decision. Within those minutes, somebody said it was a mistake. For

0:09:31 > 0:09:36me, this is a reminder of why nuclear weapons are so dangerous.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40The argument is made by our former secretaries of defence that we

0:09:40 > 0:09:46really need to think about getting nuclear missiles radically reduced

0:09:46 > 0:09:50or eliminated because accidents do happen.Exactly what the Pope was

0:09:50 > 0:09:56saying on the plane to Latin America to reporters. This could happen by

0:09:56 > 0:10:00mistake. It's an indication of the level of tension in the country

0:10:00 > 0:10:04about North Korea and the prospect of some kind of attack that people

0:10:04 > 0:10:11in Hawaii were taken so much by this alert and they panicked.Hawaii is a

0:10:11 > 0:10:18target. We are closer to some kind of conflict which would involve the

0:10:18 > 0:10:22possibility of a nuclear exchange with North Korea than at any time I

0:10:22 > 0:10:29can remember. I was alive in 1962. I will go back to 1962. We have a

0:10:29 > 0:10:32momentary pause for the Winter Olympics. North Korea has

0:10:32 > 0:10:38effectively stood down. The United States is delaying literary

0:10:38 > 0:10:43exercises to make this period work. As soon as the Olympics end, all of

0:10:43 > 0:10:46the issues and dangers of confrontation come right back and I

0:10:46 > 0:10:51hope the world will take the pause of these next few weeks and do some

0:10:51 > 0:10:56thinking and I hope the US and North Korea will do some talking.David

0:10:56 > 0:11:02Ignatius, thanks very much for coming in.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05What does the future look like for hundreds of thousands

0:11:05 > 0:11:06of Rohingya refugees, living in huge makeshift

0:11:06 > 0:11:08camps in Bangladesh?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's not clear when they will be able to return home.

0:11:11 > 0:11:17The shocking conditions in the camps

0:11:17 > 0:11:19are likely to get worse, for more than 800,000

0:11:19 > 0:11:22refugees who fled a brutal military operation in Rakhine

0:11:22 > 0:11:23state last year.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25The BBC's Mishal Husain has been at the Kutu-palong Refugee

0:11:25 > 0:11:26Camp near the border.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Four-year-old Anwar has just been diagnosed with diphtheria,

0:11:28 > 0:11:29a respiratory disease that can kill.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33He was brought in by his mother to this clinic, set up from scratch

0:11:33 > 0:11:35by the UK emergency medical team.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Thanks to the treatment he has now been given,

0:11:37 > 0:11:40he should soon recover.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44It is for you to feel better.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48If a patient who has diphtheria coughs or sneezes

0:11:48 > 0:11:51over another person, and they inhale those droplets,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54that then can set up the infection in themselves.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57And in a situation where people are sleeping five or six

0:11:57 > 0:11:59to a room beside each other, a patient who has diphtheria can

0:11:59 > 0:12:05spread it to all the people in that cramped space very quickly.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08This boy, who's 11, has just arrived at the clinic and is being checked

0:12:08 > 0:12:14at the triage point.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16He has got really big enlarged glands

0:12:16 > 0:12:19and he has got this membrane extended from the tonsil right back

0:12:19 > 0:12:20onto the back of the throat.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23So with everything we've seen, it's pretty convincing it's diphtheria.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26He's taken through onto the ward, where the team wants to start

0:12:26 > 0:12:27treatment right away.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29But there is a problem.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK, so I've got this right.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33So the husband is working away?

0:12:33 > 0:12:37She is here with the two children, but there are three children also

0:12:37 > 0:12:39in the camp and they are not with any adults?

0:12:39 > 0:12:40No.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45We are doing it to protect him from getting more ill.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Through a translator, the doctor tries to explain why

0:12:48 > 0:12:52staying to be treated is so essential.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55It's really life-threatening stuff, and in this environment

0:12:55 > 0:13:02it's really difficult.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06So hopefully what we'll try and do is calm things down a little bit

0:13:06 > 0:13:09and just begin to at least explain to the mothers so they understand

0:13:09 > 0:13:10what treatment is required.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11But it doesn't work.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13His mother needs to get back to her other children,

0:13:13 > 0:13:16and he won't stay at the clinic on his own.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19You know, it's hard.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22We know the treatment he needs but it's very much feeling

0:13:22 > 0:13:25like the minute he's out of the gate, we've lost him a bit.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26So, yes.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30It's not a good feeling.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34In the end, he did return and was given

0:13:34 > 0:13:38the anti-diphtheria medication.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41The work of this clinic doesn't stop with the patients who are treated

0:13:41 > 0:13:45here for diphtheria.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47They then try to identify everyone who lives with that patient

0:13:47 > 0:13:49or has come into contact with them.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51And each of those people are then treated with

0:13:51 > 0:13:54a course of antibiotics.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56That is what happened with the family of little Anwar,

0:13:56 > 0:13:58who is back at the clinic for a checkup.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59How is he doing?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02He is one of 11 siblings.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05His mother tells me he is fine and she is relieved.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09None of his brothers and sisters fell ill.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12But living conditions in the camp mean the risk of any infectious

0:14:12 > 0:14:22disease spreading at any time will always be high.

0:14:23 > 0:14:33We can now speak to Mishal live. Flimsy shelters behind you made from

0:14:33 > 0:14:39bamboo and bits of plastic.If we had, five months ago before the

0:14:39 > 0:14:45beginning of this latest exodus all of this land would have been a

0:14:45 > 0:14:52forest, including live elephants in part of it. There is an

0:14:52 > 0:14:59extraordinary transformation. People live in these very basic shelters.

0:14:59 > 0:15:04The agencies have been handing out bamboo poles and plastic sheeting

0:15:04 > 0:15:09but these are little more than tents and the big worry is that in the

0:15:09 > 0:15:15extreme weather that lies ahead in the months to come in Bangladesh,

0:15:15 > 0:15:19high winds, possible cyclones and the certainty of three months of the

0:15:19 > 0:15:25monsoon season, the little bit of stability and organisation that this

0:15:25 > 0:15:31camp, the world's largest refugee camp, has could easily be washed

0:15:31 > 0:15:34away and these living conditions become even more precarious in the

0:15:34 > 0:15:39future.If they are discussing repatriations, how could it possibly

0:15:39 > 0:15:43happen given the stories we have been hearing over the last day or

0:15:43 > 0:15:50so?That is the thing that is really difficult to reconcile. When you

0:15:50 > 0:15:54compare what you hear in the camps with those talks about

0:15:54 > 0:16:02repatriations. They have taken place today in the miasma capital. -- my

0:16:02 > 0:16:15Amanar. Ten days ago, they were the victims of violence across the

0:16:15 > 0:16:20border in Myanmar. It is important that the talks take place because

0:16:20 > 0:16:25when the refugees talk about their government or their country, they do

0:16:25 > 0:16:29mean Myanmar. It is where they belong and what they want more than

0:16:29 > 0:16:34anything else is for the government of Myanmar to recognise them and

0:16:34 > 0:16:45their identity as

0:16:46 > 0:16:53Rohynga. They say if they are recognised they will go back. It is

0:16:53 > 0:16:59hard to imagine that these people would be prepared to entertain the

0:16:59 > 0:17:09possibility of going back at least for the moment.What kind of

0:17:09 > 0:17:19pressure is this

0:17:21 > 0:17:25putting on the area? I have seen reports of cases of diphtheria which

0:17:25 > 0:17:30was pretty much eradicated. Bangladesh is of course an

0:17:30 > 0:17:37impoverished and developing country and this is far from the capital

0:17:37 > 0:17:42Dakar. People who have lived and used this land, the local

0:17:42 > 0:17:48Bangladeshi people, it has been very difficult for them because all they

0:17:48 > 0:17:54have is sympathy for the Rohingya people but there are pressures on

0:17:54 > 0:18:00water and the use of land and the prices of rice has gone up in the

0:18:00 > 0:18:07local market. People working here say that the important thing is not

0:18:07 > 0:18:10only international help for the people in the camps to think about

0:18:10 > 0:18:18the economy of the region as a whole. What no one wants to address

0:18:18 > 0:18:23is that some people could spend the rest of their lives in a camp like

0:18:23 > 0:18:29this. That entirely changes the economy of the local area. Those are

0:18:29 > 0:18:32some of the long-term pressures that nobody is really quite ready to

0:18:32 > 0:18:38address but they are looming in the near future.Quite extraordinary

0:18:38 > 0:18:42aerial shots we are seeing. A whole population uprooted. Thanks very

0:18:42 > 0:18:58much for joining us. It looked like a city. Quite extraordinary.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02A floor at Indonesia's main stock exchange has collapsed

0:19:02 > 0:19:04into the building's lobby injuring more than 70 people.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Dramatic CCTV footage captured the moment of collapse,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09which sent a group of more than 30 students gathered on the mezzanine

0:19:09 > 0:19:10crashing into the lobby.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13No one was killed, but police say 72 people were hurt

0:19:13 > 0:19:15and are being treated in three different hospitals in Jakarta.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17England cricketer Ben Stokes has been charged,

0:19:36 > 0:19:39They show people being forced to jump from a burning boat

0:19:39 > 0:19:42after it caught fire just off the coast of Florida.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45All 50 people on board were able to get to get safely

0:19:45 > 0:19:48to shore but over a dozen people were injured.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50The shuttle was ferrying people to a casino boat

0:20:01 > 0:20:03The lead singer of the Cranberries -

0:20:03 > 0:20:04Dolores O'Riordan - has died suddenly at

0:20:36 > 0:20:42and the chances are the construction company Carillion was involved

0:20:42 > 0:20:44in it: the new high speed rail link, the rollout of broadband,

0:20:44 > 0:20:47the building and maintenance of prisons, schools and hospitals.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Now the company has gone into liquidation.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53The directors who'd paid themselves huge bonuses, over-reached.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Downing Street says taxpayers cannot be expected

0:20:55 > 0:20:59to bail the company out.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01And the whole point of having private companies

0:21:01 > 0:21:05take on public contracts is that they shoulder the risk.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07But - should Carillion have been awarded such big

0:21:07 > 0:21:09government contracts after three recent profit warnings?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Simon Jack reports.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14This bypass near Aberdeen is Scotland's biggest construction

0:21:14 > 0:21:18project with a price tag of £750 million.

0:21:18 > 0:21:23Here's another one, around Lincoln, cost, 100 million.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Just two of 450 contracts Carillion has been awarded throughout the UK

0:21:26 > 0:21:29but it did a lot more than.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Through contracts to manage schools, prisons and hospitals,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34it touched the lives of millions.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Today, the government said it would not support

0:21:36 > 0:21:39the company with public money.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42This is however the failure of a private sector company

0:21:42 > 0:21:45it is the company's shareholders and its lenders who will bear

0:21:45 > 0:21:49the brunt of the losses.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54Taxpayers should not and will not bail out a private sector company

0:21:54 > 0:21:58for private sector losses.

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Have you got any comments to make?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's a disaster, thousands of subcontractors, labour,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09suppliers who won't get paid, who are being told people

0:22:09 > 0:22:13aren't being paid.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Carillion's fuel cards are not working this morning so staff trying

0:22:17 > 0:22:20to get to work in Carillion vans cannot, the thing is

0:22:20 > 0:22:23collapsing around us.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Carillion is more than the UK's second biggest construction firm.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29It delivers 32,000 school meals a day.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31It maintains NHS buildings, containing 11 and a half

0:22:31 > 0:22:34thousand hospital beds.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Provide services to prisons and as recently as November

0:22:38 > 0:22:43was awarded a contract to help build HS2.

0:22:43 > 0:22:48It was that fact that fronted angry exchanges today in the Commons.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52When did the government first realise Carillion was in trouble?

0:22:52 > 0:23:02After all, they had three separate profit warnings and back in 2015,

0:23:02 > 0:23:04there were already short selling the stock on the stock exchange.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09So where did it go wrong?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Big contracts like this went sour, profits optimistically banked

0:23:11 > 0:23:14had to be written off, blowing a hole on its finances

0:23:14 > 0:23:17and with banks are unwilling to lend any more money without government

0:23:17 > 0:23:18support, its fate was sealed.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Carillion with a company that until recently paid big salaries

0:23:20 > 0:23:26to its bosses and big dividends to shareholders, despite owing

0:23:26 > 0:23:28its banks and own pension scheme £1.5 billion.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31The wisdom of awarding public service contracts to a company

0:23:31 > 0:23:34like that will continue but today the urgent concern is that those

0:23:34 > 0:23:38thousands of small businesses who rely on the big boys

0:23:38 > 0:23:47like Carillion for their payments so they can pay their own bills.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Carillion workers are being urged by the government continued to go

0:23:51 > 0:23:54to work well contracts are rewarded but with tentacles in so many

0:23:54 > 0:23:55areas of the economy, unravelling this bankruptcy

0:23:55 > 0:23:56could take many months.

0:23:56 > 0:24:05Simon Jack, BBC News.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08How on earth did it still gets the contract is that it was awarded

0:24:08 > 0:24:19recently. Surely their first responsibility should be to the

0:24:19 > 0:24:33taxpayer. They have not bailed out this company they are a backstop

0:24:39 > 0:24:44for the four this private company. The CEO has walked away. The pension

0:24:44 > 0:24:52food has a huge black hole. Now the taxpayer is taking on all the risk.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57Why is there a failure to claw back some of the huge bonuses? Some of

0:24:57 > 0:25:02the things that they can do have lapsed. There is going to be a lot

0:25:02 > 0:25:06of criticism for the directors. The third issue is how government

0:25:06 > 0:25:12procurement works in the future. This was passing it on to smaller

0:25:12 > 0:25:15and medium-sized companies. Why couldn't they go directly to the

0:25:15 > 0:25:18government.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20OK, we want to issue a public safety announcement -

0:25:20 > 0:25:23don't take drugs and drive.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25If you do you may end up like this car in California.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28In these CCTV pictures you can see the car

0:25:28 > 0:25:30speeding across a road, it hits the central reservation then

0:25:30 > 0:25:34smashes into a dentist's office on the 2nd floor of a building.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36The driver is being investigated by police for driving under

0:25:54 > 0:25:55and general election.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57And as thousands of jobs and contracts around the world hang

0:25:57 > 0:26:00in the balance we'll discuss what went wrong at the

0:26:00 > 0:26:01construction giant Carillion.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06That's still to come.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15Good evening. A mild Monday morning of rain gave way to colder

0:26:15 > 0:26:23conditions as we went through the day. Turning increasingly wintry for

0:26:23 > 0:26:27the north and west and behind that front, cold air is starting to dig

0:26:27 > 0:26:33down. That stays with us for the next couple of days. A change in the

0:26:33 > 0:26:38weather story. A rash of showers continue through the night.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Primarily rain across central and southern England but further north

0:26:41 > 0:26:49as showers will turn increasingly wintry even at lower levels. There

0:26:49 > 0:26:53will be some snow starting to settle on lower levels and with

0:26:53 > 0:26:58temperatures close to freezing likely to be some icy stretches

0:26:58 > 0:27:01around first thing. Not only for Scotland and Northern Ireland but

0:27:01 > 0:27:06perhaps for North West England as well. For Wales and the central

0:27:06 > 0:27:11England, a wintry mix of sleet and snow. Anywhere else further south,

0:27:11 > 0:27:21it is rain but driven along by the westerly winds. The Southeast might

0:27:21 > 0:27:26fare reasonably well tomorrow but it will still be windy. Wintry showers

0:27:26 > 0:27:30will continue. Factoring the strength of the biting wind, it is

0:27:30 > 0:27:35going to feel quite raw out there for much of the day. Not much in the

0:27:35 > 0:27:41way of change as we move into Wednesday. The showers more frequent

0:27:41 > 0:27:44the further north and west you go. Again, we will see wintry showers

0:27:44 > 0:27:52through the day. Highs of only three to 8 degrees. Feeling colder in the

0:27:52 > 0:27:56strength of the wind. Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll

0:27:56 > 0:28:02start to see a bit of a change. Low pressure will move in. On the

0:28:02 > 0:28:06southern flank of that, the winds are really quite strong. On the

0:28:06 > 0:28:10leading edge for a time in Central and southern areas, we could see

0:28:10 > 0:28:17some snow. It is the wind that could be the real issue first thing on

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Thursday morning. Severe gales are possibility. Some snow also

0:28:21 > 0:28:30possible. This low is moving through quite a pace. So afterwards, quieter

0:28:30 > 0:28:35but still pretty cold.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10This is Beyond 100 Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington.

0:30:47 > 0:30:57Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag,

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Beyond100Days.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Last week the Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Committee warned of deepening Russian interference

0:31:11 > 0:31:12throughout Europe.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14They issued a report showing elections in countries like Britain,

0:31:14 > 0:31:16France and Germany were targeted by Moscow-sponsored hacking,

0:31:16 > 0:31:18internet trolling and social media campaigns.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19They say 19 countries were affected.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22As part of the investigation into Russian interference in the US

0:31:22 > 0:31:24election the Senate Intelligence Committee has been calling on big

0:31:24 > 0:31:27social media companies to explain how their platforms were used.

0:31:27 > 0:31:32Here's Colin Stretch General Counsel for Facebook appearing in front

0:31:32 > 0:31:37of the committee in November of last year.

0:31:38 > 0:31:43When it comes to the 2016 election, I want to be clear. We take what

0:31:43 > 0:31:48happened on Facebook very seriously. The foreign interference we saw is

0:31:48 > 0:31:54reprehensible. That foreign actors hiding behind fake accounts abused

0:31:54 > 0:32:00our platform and other internet services to try to sow division and

0:32:00 > 0:32:06discord and to try to undermine the election is directly contrary to our

0:32:06 > 0:32:09values and goes against everything that Facebook stands for.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Theresa May has already spoken of the need to respond

0:32:12 > 0:32:15to Russia's tactics - a point she made in a speech at

0:32:15 > 0:32:17the Lord Mayor's Banquet last year.

0:32:17 > 0:32:21It is seeking to recognise information. Deploying its state-run

0:32:21 > 0:32:26media organisations to plant fake stories and photos shot images in an

0:32:26 > 0:32:30attempt to sow discord in the West and undermine our institutions. I

0:32:30 > 0:32:36have a very simple message for Russia. We know what you are doing

0:32:36 > 0:32:38and you will not succeed.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41The UK's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee has been

0:32:41 > 0:32:43conducting its own investigation into Russian meddling.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Facebook was set a deadline of TODAY to hand over information

0:32:45 > 0:32:47about Russian campaigns on their platform,

0:32:47 > 0:32:50that relate to the UK.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52The chair of the Committee Damian Collins joins us

0:32:52 > 0:32:55now from Westminster.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59Good to see you. Tell us first of all, what do you suspect Russia is

0:32:59 > 0:33:06doing and what is the evidence you have been able to gather so far?We

0:33:06 > 0:33:10know from evidence linked to Twitter accounts and counselling to back to

0:33:10 > 0:33:16Russia that Russia was active during the Brexit referendum. If you look

0:33:16 > 0:33:22at what happened in America we know that Russian operatives used both

0:33:22 > 0:33:26Twitter and Facebook to spread messages during the US presidential

0:33:26 > 0:33:30campaign and we want to know to what extent Facebook was used here as

0:33:30 > 0:33:35well. What I am disappointed about, notwithstanding from what you heard

0:33:35 > 0:33:39the Facebook General Council saying in previous clips, despite Facebook

0:33:39 > 0:33:42saying they take it seriously, they are not doing anything proactive to

0:33:42 > 0:33:47look for abuse of their servers chewing the referendum campaign. We

0:33:47 > 0:33:52have asked them to share with the committee evidence of the activity.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57They say unless we can demonstrate to them it took place they don't see

0:33:57 > 0:34:03why they should look for it. We know the characteristics of fake news, of

0:34:03 > 0:34:06Russian activity, have already been established by the work done in

0:34:06 > 0:34:10America. Facebook should be looking inside their own systems and looking

0:34:10 > 0:34:14for similar activity that requires further and deeper analysis. When we

0:34:14 > 0:34:19go as a committee to Washington which I will be doing in February.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22We'll be holding evidence sessions of the select committee at the

0:34:22 > 0:34:26embassy in Washington where we will be questioning tech companies, we

0:34:26 > 0:34:31want them to come up with answers about analysing what has been going

0:34:31 > 0:34:38on on their servers and platforms, so we know for sure what is going on

0:34:38 > 0:34:41and what we need to do to act against it.Mr Collins, can you

0:34:41 > 0:34:46sanction those companies if you find they are not cooperating with you?

0:34:46 > 0:34:50It is a serious matter for those companies to refuse to co-operate

0:34:50 > 0:34:54with a parliamentary enquiry. They are cooperating with an inquiry in

0:34:54 > 0:35:01the US Senate. It will be a very bizarre way to start the year by his

0:35:01 > 0:35:06company refusing to cooperate with what our reasonable requests of a

0:35:06 > 0:35:10Parliamentary committee. We had a debate in the House of Commons

0:35:10 > 0:35:16before the Christmas recess where the digital media and sport made it

0:35:16 > 0:35:20very clear he expects Facebook to respond to the inquiry of the

0:35:20 > 0:35:26committee. That means answering questions and cooperating was at the

0:35:26 > 0:35:31Government is prepared to consider the action to take.You set a

0:35:31 > 0:35:35deadline for Facebook which was today. Are you saying they have not

0:35:35 > 0:35:46responded?Reset the deadline for twitter. -- we set a deadline.The

0:35:46 > 0:35:48British government has asked for information and they have not come

0:35:48 > 0:35:54back.Neither twitter nor Facebook have given any information relating

0:35:54 > 0:36:05to Russian activity on the servers during the Brexit referendum. I

0:36:05 > 0:36:09believe the information given to Facebook and Twitter was supplied by

0:36:09 > 0:36:11US intelligence services. My understanding is Facebook and

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Twitter is not looking for other evidence of Russian activity. I

0:36:14 > 0:36:20believe they can do that. Facebook is a closed system. It is very

0:36:20 > 0:36:23difficult for other people to look at what is going on for that they

0:36:23 > 0:36:27have the capability to look at other evidence of problematic activity on

0:36:27 > 0:36:31their site related to the Brexit campaign for that they did do that

0:36:31 > 0:36:37in France. They did a detailed study looking at the activity of fake

0:36:37 > 0:36:39accounts that were seeking to influence opinion during the

0:36:39 > 0:36:43presidential election and they did their own study on that. They should

0:36:43 > 0:36:48do the same. We should see a pattern of behaviour linked to Russian

0:36:48 > 0:36:57agencies, looking to sow division and mislead people. We're getting an

0:36:57 > 0:37:00emerging picture of how that is happening is that we need tech

0:37:00 > 0:37:06companies to do more to cooperate with us.Interesting that he brought

0:37:06 > 0:37:10France up. President Macron has gone further than many others. He

0:37:10 > 0:37:15announced in his New Year speech he was imposing restrictions on social

0:37:15 > 0:37:18media companies that we don't know the exact details because the bill

0:37:18 > 0:37:22has not been published but he's talking about a cap on how much one

0:37:22 > 0:37:28of the companies can spend on advertising, or someone who is

0:37:28 > 0:37:32posting on Facebook, how much they can spend on a particular

0:37:32 > 0:37:36advertising campaign. They are saying they would ban access to

0:37:36 > 0:37:40Facebook or Twitter if they were found to be spreading fake news. I

0:37:40 > 0:37:44would not be surprised if we saw similar action taken here at some

0:37:44 > 0:37:50point during the United States. These companies are too big for that

0:37:50 > 0:37:54they're not regulating themselves and something will have to change.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57The White House this weekend warned illegal immigrants in the US

0:37:57 > 0:37:59to expect more raids and deportations at

0:37:59 > 0:38:00their places of work.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Last week the government raided 98 7-eleven grocery stores in 17 states

0:38:03 > 0:38:04to round up undocumented workers.

0:38:04 > 0:38:1021 people were arrested.

0:38:10 > 0:38:11The Department of Homeland Security now says the public should

0:38:11 > 0:38:12expect more such raids.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14These crackdowns are often most obvious in small communities

0:38:14 > 0:38:15like Pacific County, Washington.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17The majority of people there voted for Donald Trump -

0:38:17 > 0:38:20making it the first time they supported a Republican

0:38:20 > 0:38:21in more than 60 years.

0:38:21 > 0:38:27But some now question whether these raids are OK.

0:38:27 > 0:38:34They are taking the easy targets. They are waiting for them when they

0:38:34 > 0:38:40arrive at work.I don't think people thought about it. I don't think they

0:38:40 > 0:38:44believe people's writes would be trampled on.These are our friends

0:38:44 > 0:38:53and neighbours, people we value. I did not think about how reality

0:38:53 > 0:39:00would play out with people I know. There are some Republicans here who

0:39:00 > 0:39:05are delighted with what is going on. The enforcement of immigration.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08There are also a number of Republicans who are feeling very

0:39:08 > 0:39:14distressed and saying this is not being done in the proper way.I

0:39:14 > 0:39:17consider myself very politically Conservative. I thought it sounded

0:39:17 > 0:39:27great. You break the law, by golly. Then you think, wait a minute, wait

0:39:27 > 0:39:32a minute. This year, what we've noticed is a lot of people who have

0:39:32 > 0:39:38been in our community for a number of years have been arrested and

0:39:38 > 0:39:43detained. We're talking about people who have been here ten, 12, even

0:39:43 > 0:39:49more years. It is impacting the fisheries, the cal workers, the

0:39:49 > 0:39:54cranberry box. Even more so than that, people have been emotionally

0:39:54 > 0:39:59in turmoil because they've seen people they have known for years,

0:39:59 > 0:40:04friends, acquaintances, neighbours, people who they have gone to church

0:40:04 > 0:40:10with, people they go to school with, they are just gone.They are taking

0:40:10 > 0:40:17the easy targets. I have been told people are just going to work for

0:40:17 > 0:40:21the day and the immigration service is waiting for them at work. It is

0:40:21 > 0:40:26frustrating because they have not yet been able to tell us names of

0:40:26 > 0:40:31people they are taking away or any details. Sometimes we have had cases

0:40:31 > 0:40:34where maybe some of these missing and we don't know if they were taken

0:40:34 > 0:40:41by IS or they are missing person. I have no problem whatsoever in seeing

0:40:41 > 0:40:45people who have been committing crimes deported. Since I have been

0:40:45 > 0:40:48sheriff, I think they have only taken people about half a dozen

0:40:48 > 0:40:56times from our jail facility. Aye I knew a guy for many years. --I knew

0:40:56 > 0:41:03a guy for many years. I found out last summer he was picked up. I was

0:41:03 > 0:41:15like, they picked up Mario Gotz? Since the new administration

0:41:15 > 0:41:18started, everyone is going to be detained and then I knew that they

0:41:18 > 0:41:24were going to focus on the criminals. I am sure I am not a

0:41:24 > 0:41:30criminal. I am not one of those.He is somebody you would want to have

0:41:30 > 0:41:35in your country. Somebody who is adding in a very positive way to our

0:41:35 > 0:41:41community. You cannot tell me that our community is better off, or the

0:41:41 > 0:41:44United States is better off because Marion has been shipped back to

0:41:44 > 0:41:55Mexico. -- Mario. It is easy to hear sound bites and said his great

0:41:55 > 0:42:02policy. It is different when you are implementing it in seeing how it

0:42:02 > 0:42:10affects people's lives. Shame on me for being short-sighted. Fine. It is

0:42:10 > 0:42:25not just. It is not just to me. Pacific County, Washington state.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28A woman has gone on trial in the south of France,

0:42:28 > 0:42:30accused of seducing and poisoning four elderly men.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Patricia Dagorn, who was nicknamed The Black Widow of the Riviera,

0:42:33 > 0:42:34denies all the charges.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Police say Ms Dagorn met at least 20 men through a matchmaking agency

0:42:37 > 0:42:38between 2011 and 2012.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40She allegedly asked most of them for money,

0:42:40 > 0:42:41or to name her in their wills.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Two of the men died as a result of poisoning.

0:42:53 > 0:43:00does not get any more orders from the company's biggest customer

0:43:00 > 0:43:01for the 'superjumbo' - Dubai airline Emirates.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04The company also announced orders last year rose by more than 50%,

0:43:04 > 0:43:06putting it ahead of its rival Boeing.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08A former US army whistle-blower who was jailed for leaking

0:43:34 > 0:43:37Let's revisit one of our top stories - and leading UK

0:43:37 > 0:43:38construction company, Carillion, has gone

0:43:38 > 0:43:39into liquidation.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41Carillion is involved in major infrastructure projects including

0:43:41 > 0:43:43the rollout of broadband, and the building and maintenance

0:43:43 > 0:43:46of prisons, schools and hospitals across the UK.

0:43:46 > 0:43:47But the company directors over-reached - they paid

0:43:47 > 0:43:50themselves huge bonuses, even though Carillion had huge debts

0:43:50 > 0:43:53of more than $2 billion and had issued three profit warnings

0:43:53 > 0:43:58in the past six months.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Joining me in the studio Edwin Morgan, the Policy Director

0:44:00 > 0:44:02at the Institute of Directors here in London.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04It's an organisation which represents the interests

0:44:04 > 0:44:08of business leaders around the world.

0:44:09 > 0:44:18I was explaining the four-year came here, perhaps not very eloquently,

0:44:18 > 0:44:25there was a system of clawing back bonuses to well-paid directors.It

0:44:25 > 0:44:28is good practice for a company of that size to have that mechanism

0:44:28 > 0:44:32where if something goes really wrong billboard can claw back bonuses that

0:44:32 > 0:44:39had been awarded to executives. -- the board can claw back. It seems

0:44:39 > 0:44:45terms had changed to make it harder to claw back the money, which is

0:44:45 > 0:44:49inappropriate in normal times. In the context of Carillion collapsing,

0:44:49 > 0:44:55it seems to be highly inappropriate. To make it really simple, it is like

0:44:55 > 0:45:00building your house. You bring in a master builder who has different

0:45:00 > 0:45:04suppliers, smaller suppliers for the Carpenter, the plumber, the

0:45:04 > 0:45:09electrician. They oversee the whole project was is what Carillion was

0:45:09 > 0:45:13doing for the Government. They are the intermediary. I'm struggling to

0:45:13 > 0:45:17see how you could do without the intermediary in the huge

0:45:17 > 0:45:21construction projects.You do need the private sector expertise

0:45:21 > 0:45:27organising loads of contracts together. On HS2, three of the mega

0:45:27 > 0:45:30companies coming together on a joint-venture. It is a big question.

0:45:30 > 0:45:36The Government says it wants to get more smaller companies directly

0:45:36 > 0:45:38procuring from them. The public sector does occasionally get these

0:45:38 > 0:45:42things wrong. There are questions about whether they should have kept

0:45:42 > 0:45:45using Carillion after the profit warnings that there were problems in

0:45:45 > 0:45:49the past with the way things had turned out. You will never get it

0:45:49 > 0:45:54perfectly right. There will always be mistakes made. Certainly, the

0:45:54 > 0:45:59system which maybe uses smaller companies more directly said they

0:45:59 > 0:46:03are not then affected. When Carillion goes bust, it affects all

0:46:03 > 0:46:17the smaller companies as well. Private - public partnerships are

0:46:17 > 0:46:19very popular in the United States for that everyone wants to have

0:46:19 > 0:46:22infrastructure projects and they don't want a hike in taxes to pay

0:46:22 > 0:46:24for it. Does the collapse of Carillion put into question what has

0:46:24 > 0:46:28become more fashionable?The Department for Transport was trying

0:46:28 > 0:46:31to reassure us that all of these major projects will still go ahead.

0:46:31 > 0:46:36I think there is no way around it. The Government cannot build a lot of

0:46:36 > 0:46:42these things themselves. There is nothing wrong per se with having a

0:46:42 > 0:46:45public - private partnership. I think where the Government could try

0:46:45 > 0:46:48to look at where the terms could be improved, those things are

0:46:48 > 0:46:53absolutely what they should be doing. I think really, this is one

0:46:53 > 0:46:57of those unfortunate cases where a company goes bust. It happens and

0:46:57 > 0:47:02there is not anything the Government can do about it.They could not have

0:47:02 > 0:47:09given them more contracts after July.There are questions about the

0:47:09 > 0:47:15timing of some more contracts. All I would say is you cannot avoid this

0:47:15 > 0:47:19situation entirely. There is going to be an investigation and it should

0:47:19 > 0:47:24look into what directors have done but also what the role of the

0:47:24 > 0:47:29Government was. Whether one allegation -- one allegation which

0:47:29 > 0:47:33has been made is whether Carillion has come in too low and civil

0:47:33 > 0:47:36servants signing them should have been aware of that and pushed

0:47:36 > 0:47:41harder. That is one thing we definitely had to find out.Thank

0:47:41 > 0:47:43you for coming in.

0:47:43 > 0:47:44This is Beyond One Hundred Days.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45Still to come -

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Does swearing at work reduce stress?

0:47:48 > 0:47:50We speak to the author who thinks it's therapeutic.

0:47:50 > 0:47:55We'll be asking why.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57Former West Brom and England forward Cyrille Regis has

0:47:57 > 0:48:00died at the age of 59.

0:48:00 > 0:48:04As a black player he's been described as a pioneer.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07Coming into the game in the 1970s he suffered racial abuse -

0:48:07 > 0:48:09even when wearing the England shirt.

0:48:09 > 0:48:18Our Sports Editor Dan Roan looks back at his life.

0:48:18 > 0:48:24Region is taking it well on the chest. What a great shot!Cyrille

0:48:24 > 0:48:28Regis didn't just lead the line he led the way for that known for pace

0:48:28 > 0:48:33and power he broke through at West Brom in the 1970s, time when there

0:48:33 > 0:48:38were few black players. It made the situation at the hawthorns all the

0:48:38 > 0:48:42more unique where Regis, Brendan Batson and Laurie Cunningham,

0:48:42 > 0:48:45together nicknamed the three degrees were at the heart on the era's stick

0:48:45 > 0:48:56fighting teams. They were subject to relentless abuse. We were used to

0:48:56 > 0:48:59about 10,000 people shouting racial abuse at you, stirring bananas on

0:48:59 > 0:49:05the pitch and monkey chanting and so on. I took it as it was someone

0:49:05 > 0:49:09trying to intimidate me foot at just the third black player to represent

0:49:09 > 0:49:13England are not everyone welcomed his debut.Got a letter through the

0:49:13 > 0:49:20post saying, if you put your feet on the Wembley turf, you get one of

0:49:20 > 0:49:25these three or do. And it was a bullet.His importance was

0:49:25 > 0:49:31recognised in 2008 when awarded an MBE.The tributes laid here at the

0:49:31 > 0:49:35hawthorns todayAre testament to a man who became a symbol for the

0:49:35 > 0:49:39fight against racism in Britain. The legacy of Cyrille Regis felt not

0:49:39 > 0:49:43just here at West Brom but throughout the sport, a role model

0:49:43 > 0:49:46for a generation of Black footballers inspired by his dignity

0:49:46 > 0:49:52and determination. Cyrille Regis was far more than a mere player, a

0:49:52 > 0:49:56pioneer who faced up to the unacceptable site of football and

0:49:56 > 0:49:59helped it to move forward. His impact on and off the pitch cannot

0:49:59 > 0:50:14be overstated. You are watching Beyond 100 Days. In Bucharest, the

0:50:14 > 0:50:19Prime Minister has just resigned. We have heard he stepped aside after

0:50:19 > 0:50:24his gruelling social Democrat Party withdrew political backing for him

0:50:24 > 0:50:29in an overwhelming vote. He is the second Prime Minister to be ousted

0:50:29 > 0:50:33by his party in less than seven months. Political turmoil in the

0:50:33 > 0:50:37mania. We will bring you more on that as we get it. Thanks to

0:50:37 > 0:50:40President John, many parents and media organisations have been

0:50:40 > 0:50:51discussing the issue of swearing and what words are acceptable. What if

0:50:51 > 0:50:54we told you that swearing could actually be good for you. Yes,

0:50:54 > 0:50:56apparently sofas. According to a new book. Those select words could

0:50:56 > 0:50:58actually reduce pain and lower anxiety. His here to discuss the

0:50:58 > 0:51:01amazing science of bad language but I'm feeling slightly relieved when I

0:51:01 > 0:51:06turn the air blue, I am doing some good for myself.There are fantastic

0:51:06 > 0:51:10studies that have been done on this. The University of Keele is the real

0:51:10 > 0:51:14epicentre of this. My interest was first spiked by a study which showed

0:51:14 > 0:51:18if you are swearing you can keep your hands in ice cold water for

0:51:18 > 0:51:24about half as long again as if you are not. That is the first thing

0:51:24 > 0:51:26that peaks to interest will stop what is going on in the brain? The

0:51:26 > 0:51:30more you look at how swearing has been studied, the more you realise

0:51:30 > 0:51:34how instrumental it has been in understanding how the brain works.

0:51:34 > 0:51:42Is that why we swear when we bang our thumbs with a hammer?It was

0:51:42 > 0:51:47making you feel worse by concentrating on the negative thing

0:51:47 > 0:51:52that happened was a research shows you can withstand more pain and

0:51:52 > 0:51:54exert more effort when you are exercising. You could be more

0:51:54 > 0:52:00resilient in general if you are swearing.I have also seen that

0:52:00 > 0:52:03research shows it is different for men and women. Surprise, surprise.

0:52:03 > 0:52:11Men can get away with wearing at work that women cannot. It is

0:52:11 > 0:52:19because we suffer more! We, as women, have a far greater social

0:52:19 > 0:52:25risk when we choose to swear. You have to trade off some of your

0:52:25 > 0:52:28identity, your femininity and compliance and making nice guy in

0:52:28 > 0:52:32favour of co-opting the language of power. You have to be even more

0:52:32 > 0:52:35certain than a man as he will have a positive impact you were looking

0:52:35 > 0:52:40for. I have to ask you, given everything that has been reported

0:52:40 > 0:52:47after the White House after the last few days, what is the impact when

0:52:47 > 0:52:49the leader of the country swears? It depends what he is swearing about.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52One thing that strikes me about comments that Donald Trump made

0:52:52 > 0:52:56about certain countries, they all have something very obvious in

0:52:56 > 0:53:01common. If he had used a more benign term, we would not be talking about

0:53:01 > 0:53:07it. One thing about swearing is it captures our emotions. The heart

0:53:07 > 0:53:12rate rises and makes you produce lots of adrenaline. And so we

0:53:12 > 0:53:16noticed what he said because of the language he chose to use. Those

0:53:16 > 0:53:20opinions would have been the same even if they had been couched in far

0:53:20 > 0:53:27more civil terms. Is it true we are not the only thing that swears?

0:53:27 > 0:53:31Chimpanzees also swear, is that right?If you are teaching

0:53:31 > 0:53:34chimpanzees to use sign language, the best thing to do is to adopt

0:53:34 > 0:53:38them into your household. If you're going to do that you have to potty

0:53:38 > 0:53:45train them. As soon same internalise the potty to boot, they will use

0:53:45 > 0:53:47their terminology which is Everything discreet three in the

0:53:47 > 0:53:52same way we use our own excretory word may need to express that

0:53:52 > 0:53:58castration through signs. There is one that is called Darcy, which is

0:53:58 > 0:54:01basically put your hand up under the chin. There is a great description

0:54:01 > 0:54:07in the book that is written about this about how sometimes the lab

0:54:07 > 0:54:12would be resounding with the sound of chimp teeth clacking together

0:54:12 > 0:54:16when they were forcefully swearing. Really interesting. Thank you for

0:54:16 > 0:54:20coming. You may be trying to think of ways to read gift novelty socks

0:54:20 > 0:54:24he got for Christmas but for one entrepreneur they are his route for

0:54:24 > 0:54:30success.The New Yorker has Downs syndrome for that he decided he

0:54:30 > 0:54:34wanted to start a business with his father saying crazy and colourful
