Beyond One Hundred Days | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
America celebrates the birth
of Martin Luther King | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
as Donald Trump is asked
"are you a racist?" | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
The President denies
the charge and says | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
he is the least racist person ever
to be interviewed. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
But Donald Trump's slur
against African nations is already | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
stoking political divisions
in the country and concern | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
around the world. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |

Hello and welcome -
I'm Katty Kay in Washington | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
and Christian Fraser is in London. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Today Americans celebrate the birth
of Martin Luther King in 1929. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Traditionally the country pauses
to remember the triumph of the civil | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
rights movement and the tragedy
of King's assassination. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
This year the holiday comes
as the US President has | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
to answer the question -
are you a racist? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
On Friday
the President seemed to be revelling | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
in the controversy he had stirred. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:35 | |
Perhaps it would go down well
with his supporters. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
But in a brief interchange
with reporters at Mar | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
a Lago this weekend,
he was denying he had | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
ever used the word,
with which we are all now familiar. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
That was
President Trump this weekend. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
To put that in the context
of American history, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
here is Martin Luther King,
writing | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
from an Alabama jail in 1963. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
"Let us all hope that
the dark clouds of racial | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
prejudice will soon pass
away and the deep fog of | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
misunderstanding will be lifted
from our fear drenched communities, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
and in some not too distant tomorrow
the radiant stars of love | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
and brotherhood will shine
over our great nation with | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
all their scintillating beauty." | 0:02:19 | 0:02:29 | |
Joining us now is David Ignatius
from the Washington Post. Let's | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
start with America. We hear those
two leaders Martin Luther King and | 0:02:36 | 0:02:43 | |
Donald Trump. What impact does what
he has said how vain America. His | 0:02:43 | 0:02:51 | |
comments have reduced the value that
the United States have. On our | 0:02:51 | 0:02:59 | |
reputation, that intangible trust
that people around the world has of | 0:02:59 | 0:03:05 | |
United States as having strong
values. Today, we remember Martin | 0:03:05 | 0:03:11 | |
Luther King a particular embodiment
of those values. Goodwill is an | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
intangible asset over and above book
value, the hard power of a country. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:21 | |
Countries are like that with
goodwill and our goodwill has been | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
torn down, diminished by President
Trump in many ways. Most strikingly | 0:03:25 | 0:03:32 | |
by these comments which clearly
offend people in many countries | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
around the world. These are
countries that the United States has | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
to do business with, countries in
Africa, even with Haiti, US | 0:03:40 | 0:03:46 | |
companies have operations in those
countries. It's something that | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
President Trump hasn't understood
from the day he took office. Our | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
security is a matter of
interdependence. We are strong | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
because we exercise power with and
through other countries and we need | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
that trust and willingness to move
and work with the United States. The | 0:04:02 | 0:04:09 | |
UK, traditionally our closest ally,
ensuring that the president isn't | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
going to visit London, that worries
me. The president is going to Davos | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
next week to raise the cause of
American companies there. There are | 0:04:18 | 0:04:25 | |
those who are nervous about America
first and they are not going to like | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
the idea that it is white first.
They are not going to like it at all | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
and nor should they. In going to
Davos, Donald Trump is doing | 0:04:33 | 0:04:41 | |
something that would have surprised
many of his supporters. Steve Bannon | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
characterised Davos as the centre of
the global elite that Donald Trump | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
was running against. It's
interesting that he is going. I'm | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
sure he will make a popular speech
from Davos. The question that the | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
world should ask is whether Donald
Trump is going to be an effective | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
steward of American power and
alliances and the relationships, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
really the way the world has been
run since 1945. If he is going to | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
walk away from it, the world is
going to be unhappy. The concern I | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
have heard here particularly from
African-Americans and minority | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
groups is that it doesn't really
matter the language that the | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
president used, it's the intention
that he has as trying to make | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
America a country where white
immigrants are but not black | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
immigrants, or brown immigrants, or
yellow immigrants. That is what they | 0:05:36 | 0:05:43 | |
are worried he is trying to do. It
shouldn't be a question of full | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
charity or a nasty turn, that would
be unpleasant and upsetting but -- | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
full charity. Four. Looking at his
interest in the presidency since he | 0:05:53 | 0:06:04 | |
suggested that by Raka Obama was not
really an American, you go back to | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
his history in real estate, the
federal government sued him during | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
the Nixon years for discriminatory
practices in real estate. So many | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
instances over such a long period
which should raise the question does | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
Donald Trump look at lax and
minorities in a fair way as required | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
is required under our laws and
traditions. It is not just that one | 0:06:27 | 0:06:34 | |
comment. It is a whole chain of
events. We want to ask you about | 0:06:34 | 0:06:41 | |
North Korea and Hawaii in a second.
Today of all days it is striking how | 0:06:41 | 0:06:48 | |
much this debate about race in this
country has been raised again and | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
what the country is going to be
under the president and what kind of | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
country does he wanted to be? That
is the concern that | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
African-Americans have. It is not
the words but the intent of what he | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
said that they worrying. The
interesting thing about the denials | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
is it doesn't come down to whether
he says the word or not but what he | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
seems to be saying in this meeting
with senators is riding countries | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
that are populated with Brown and
black people but lauding a country | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
like Norway which is predominantly
white. They are only denying the | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
word that he used. The actual
terminology. I think it's a | 0:07:30 | 0:07:40 | |
distinction without validity. Is it
the country that America has always | 0:07:40 | 0:07:46 | |
projected itself as. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
The Pope is worried
we are at the very edge | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
of an accidental nuclear war. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
He made the comments to reporters en
route to Latin America shortly | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
after a false alarm in Hawaii
sparked fears of a missile attack. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
"one accident is enough
to precipitate things," | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
the pontiff said. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
And all because an
employee of the Hawaii | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
emergency management agency had
picked the wrong drop down box | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
on his computer screen. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
Something like this. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Missile alert - instead
of "test missile alert". | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
It's known in the business
as a UX error. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
A failed user experience. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
"Oops!" | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
said the front page
of Hawaii's Star Advertiser. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
They bring word that the employee
with the errant finger | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
has since been reassigned. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:37 | |
Back to David Ignatius. Why was
there not a fail-safe method within | 0:08:37 | 0:08:47 | |
this, checked by more than one
employee or warning on the screen | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
and why couldn't they cancel it
without having to go to FEMA first? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:59 | |
I hope every other federal agencies
looking at those questions. It is | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
not as though this is the first time
an accident like this has happened. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:12 | |
A former national security adviser
was phoned in the middle of a per | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
night with somebody telling him that
the Russian missiles had been | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
launched and were on their way, two
minutes, as he remembered it to make | 0:09:19 | 0:09:26 | |
a decision. Within those minutes,
somebody said it was a mistake. For | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
me, this is a reminder of why
nuclear weapons are so dangerous. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
The argument is made by our former
secretaries of defence that we | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
really need to think about getting
nuclear missiles radically reduced | 0:09:40 | 0:09:46 | |
or eliminated because accidents do
happen. Exactly what the Pope was | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
saying on the plane to Latin America
to reporters. This could happen by | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
mistake. It's an indication of the
level of tension in the country | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
about North Korea and the prospect
of some kind of attack that people | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
in Hawaii were taken so much by this
alert and they panicked. Hawaii is a | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
target. We are closer to some kind
of conflict which would involve the | 0:10:11 | 0:10:18 | |
possibility of a nuclear exchange
with North Korea than at any time I | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
can remember. I was alive in 1962. I
will go back to 1962. We have a | 0:10:22 | 0:10:29 | |
momentary pause for the Winter
Olympics. North Korea has | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
effectively stood down. The United
States is delaying literary | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
exercises to make this period work.
As soon as the Olympics end, all of | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
the issues and dangers of
confrontation come right back and I | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
hope the world will take the pause
of these next few weeks and do some | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
thinking and I hope the US and North
Korea will do some talking. David | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
Ignatius, thanks very much for
coming in. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
What does the future look
like for hundreds of thousands | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
of Rohingya refugees,
living in huge makeshift | 0:11:05 | 0:11:06 | |
camps in Bangladesh? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
It's not clear when they will be
able to return home. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
The shocking conditions in the camps | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
are likely to get worse,
for more than 800,000 | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
refugees who fled a brutal military
operation in Rakhine | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
state last year. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:23 | |
The BBC's Mishal Husain has been
at the Kutu-palong Refugee | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Camp near the border. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
Four-year-old Anwar has just been
diagnosed with diphtheria, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
a respiratory disease that can kill. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
He was brought in by his mother
to this clinic, set up from scratch | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
by the UK emergency medical team. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Thanks to the treatment
he has now been given, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
he should soon recover. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
It is for you to feel better. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
If a patient who has
diphtheria coughs or sneezes | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
over another person,
and they inhale those droplets, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
that then can set up
the infection in themselves. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
And in a situation where people
are sleeping five or six | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
to a room beside each other,
a patient who has diphtheria can | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
spread it to all the people in that
cramped space very quickly. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:05 | |
This boy, who's 11, has just arrived
at the clinic and is being checked | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
at the triage point. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:14 | |
He has got really
big enlarged glands | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
and he has got this membrane
extended from the tonsil right back | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
onto the back of the throat. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
So with everything we've seen, it's
pretty convincing it's diphtheria. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
He's taken through onto the ward,
where the team wants to start | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
treatment right away. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
But there is a problem. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
OK, so I've got this right. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
So the husband is working away? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
She is here with the two children,
but there are three children also | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
in the camp and they are not
with any adults? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
No. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
OK. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
We are doing it to protect him
from getting more ill. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Through a translator,
the doctor tries to explain why | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
staying to be treated
is so essential. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
It's really life-threatening stuff,
and in this environment | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
it's really difficult. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:02 | |
So hopefully what we'll try and do
is calm things down a little bit | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
and just begin to at least explain
to the mothers so they understand | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
what treatment is required. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
But it doesn't work. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
His mother needs to get back
to her other children, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
and he won't stay at the clinic
on his own. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
You know, it's hard. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
We know the treatment he needs
but it's very much feeling | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
like the minute he's out
of the gate, we've lost him a bit. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
So, yes. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
It's not a good feeling. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
In the end,
he did return and was given | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
the anti-diphtheria medication. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
The work of this clinic doesn't stop
with the patients who are treated | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
here for diphtheria. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
They then try to identify everyone
who lives with that patient | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
or has come into contact with them. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
And each of those people
are then treated with | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
a course of antibiotics. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
That is what happened
with the family of little Anwar, | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
who is back at the
clinic for a checkup. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
How is he doing? | 0:13:58 | 0:13:59 | |
He is one of 11 siblings. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
His mother tells me he is fine
and she is relieved. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
None of his brothers
and sisters fell ill. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
But living conditions in the camp
mean the risk of any infectious | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
disease spreading at any time
will always be high. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:22 | |
We can now speak to Mishal live.
Flimsy shelters behind you made from | 0:14:23 | 0:14:33 | |
bamboo and bits of plastic. If we
had, five months ago before the | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
beginning of this latest exodus all
of this land would have been a | 0:14:39 | 0:14:45 | |
forest, including live elephants in
part of it. There is an | 0:14:45 | 0:14:52 | |
extraordinary transformation. People
live in these very basic shelters. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:59 | |
The agencies have been handing out
bamboo poles and plastic sheeting | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
but these are little more than tents
and the big worry is that in the | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
extreme weather that lies ahead in
the months to come in Bangladesh, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:15 | |
high winds, possible cyclones and
the certainty of three months of the | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
monsoon season, the little bit of
stability and organisation that this | 0:15:19 | 0:15:25 | |
camp, the world's largest refugee
camp, has could easily be washed | 0:15:25 | 0:15:31 | |
away and these living conditions
become even more precarious in the | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
future. If they are discussing
repatriations, how could it possibly | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
happen given the stories we have
been hearing over the last day or | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
so? That is the thing that is really
difficult to reconcile. When you | 0:15:43 | 0:15:50 | |
compare what you hear in the camps
with those talks about | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
repatriations. They have taken place
today in the miasma capital. -- my | 0:15:54 | 0:16:02 | |
Amanar. Ten days ago, they were the
victims of violence across the | 0:16:02 | 0:16:15 | |
border in Myanmar. It is important
that the talks take place because | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
when the refugees talk about their
government or their country, they do | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
mean Myanmar. It is where they
belong and what they want more than | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
anything else is for the government
of Myanmar to recognise them and | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
their identity as | 0:16:34 | 0:16:45 | |
Rohynga. They say if they are
recognised they will go back. It is | 0:16:46 | 0:16:53 | |
hard to imagine that these people
would be prepared to entertain the | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
possibility of going back at least
for the moment. What kind of | 0:16:59 | 0:17:09 | |
pressure is this | 0:17:09 | 0:17:19 | |
putting on the area? I have seen
reports of cases of diphtheria which | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
was pretty much eradicated.
Bangladesh is of course an | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
impoverished and developing country
and this is far from the capital | 0:17:30 | 0:17:37 | |
Dakar. People who have lived and
used this land, the local | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
Bangladeshi people, it has been very
difficult for them because all they | 0:17:42 | 0:17:48 | |
have is sympathy for the Rohingya
people but there are pressures on | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
water and the use of land and the
prices of rice has gone up in the | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
local market. People working here
say that the important thing is not | 0:18:00 | 0:18:07 | |
only international help for the
people in the camps to think about | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
the economy of the region as a
whole. What no one wants to address | 0:18:10 | 0:18:18 | |
is that some people could spend the
rest of their lives in a camp like | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
this. That entirely changes the
economy of the local area. Those are | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
some of the long-term pressures that
nobody is really quite ready to | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
address but they are looming in the
near future. Quite extraordinary | 0:18:32 | 0:18:38 | |
aerial shots we are seeing. A whole
population uprooted. Thanks very | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
much for joining us. It looked like
a city. Quite extraordinary. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:58 | |
A floor at Indonesia's
main stock exchange has collapsed | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
into the building's lobby injuring
more than 70 people. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Dramatic CCTV footage captured
the moment of collapse, | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
which sent a group of more than 30
students gathered on the mezzanine | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
crashing into the lobby. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
No one was killed, but police
say 72 people were hurt | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
and are being treated in three
different hospitals in Jakarta. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
England cricketer
Ben Stokes has been charged, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
along with two other men,
with causing a disturbance | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
in a fight outside a nightclub. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
The incident in September left a man
with a fractured eye socket. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
Stokes missed the Ashes series
after being suspended from playing | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
for England after the incident. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
Prosecutors said further evidence
revealed last month | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |

They show people being forced
to jump from a burning boat | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
after it caught fire just off
the coast of Florida. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
All 50 people on board were able
to get to get safely | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
to shore but over a dozen
people were injured. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |

The lead singer of the Cranberries - | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Dolores O'Riordan -
has died suddenly at | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
the age of just 46. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:13 | |
Built around O'Riordan's
distinctive voice | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
the Cranberries dominated the album
charts in the 1990s selling more | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
than 40 million albums worldwide. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
The singer had been in London
for a recording session | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
when she passed away -
no further details are available. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
Name any major infrastructure
project in the UK | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
and the chances are the construction
company Carillion was involved | 0:20:36 | 0:20:42 | |
in it: the new high speed rail link,
the rollout of broadband, | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
the building and maintenance
of prisons, schools and hospitals. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Now the company has
gone into liquidation. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
The directors who'd paid themselves
huge bonuses, over-reached. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
Downing Street says
taxpayers cannot be expected | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
to bail the company out. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
And the whole point of having
private companies | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
take on public contracts
is that they shoulder the risk. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
But - should Carillion have been
awarded such big | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
government contracts after three
recent profit warnings? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
Simon Jack reports. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
This bypass near Aberdeen
is Scotland's biggest construction | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
project with a price tag
of £750 million. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Here's another one, around
Lincoln, cost, 100 million. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
Just two of 450 contracts Carillion
has been awarded throughout the UK | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
but it did a lot more than. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Through contracts to manage schools,
prisons and hospitals, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
it touched the lives of millions. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Today, the government said
it would not support | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
the company with public money. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
This is however the failure
of a private sector company | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
it is the company's shareholders
and its lenders who will bear | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
the brunt of the losses. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
Taxpayers should not and will not
bail out a private sector company | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
for private sector losses. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
At headquarters in Wolverhampton,
nervous faces on tight lips. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Have you got any comments to make? | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
It's a disaster, thousands
of subcontractors, labour, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
suppliers who won't get paid,
who are being told people | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
aren't being paid. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
Carillion's fuel cards are not
working this morning so staff trying | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
to get to work in Carillion vans
cannot, the thing is | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
collapsing around us. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Carillion is more than the UK's
second biggest construction firm. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
It delivers 32,000
school meals a day. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
It maintains NHS buildings,
containing 11 and a half | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
thousand hospital beds. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Provide services to prisons
and as recently as November | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
was awarded a contract
to help build HS2. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
It was that fact that fronted angry
exchanges today in the Commons. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
When did the government first
realise Carillion was in trouble? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
After all, they had three separate
profit warnings and back in 2015, | 0:22:52 | 0:23:02 | |
there were already short selling
the stock on the stock exchange. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
So where did it go wrong? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
Big contracts like this went sour,
profits optimistically banked | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
had to be written off,
blowing a hole on its finances | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
and with banks are unwilling to lend
any more money without government | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
support, its fate was sealed. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
Carillion with a company that
until recently paid big salaries | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
to its bosses and big dividends
to shareholders, despite owing | 0:23:20 | 0:23:26 | |
its banks and own pension
scheme £1.5 billion. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
The wisdom of awarding public
service contracts to a company | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
like that will continue but today
the urgent concern is that those | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
thousands of small businesses
who rely on the big boys | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
like Carillion for their payments
so they can pay their own bills. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:47 | |
Carillion workers are being urged
by the government continued to go | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
to work well contracts are rewarded
but with tentacles in so many | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
areas of the economy,
unravelling this bankruptcy | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
could take many months. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
Simon Jack, BBC News. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:05 | |
How on earth did it still gets the
contract is that it was awarded | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
recently. Surely their first
responsibility should be to the | 0:24:08 | 0:24:19 | |
taxpayer. They have not bailed out
this company they are a backstop | 0:24:19 | 0:24:33 | |
for the four this private company.
The CEO has walked away. The pension | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
food has a huge black hole. Now the
taxpayer is taking on all the risk. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:52 | |
Why is there a failure to claw back
some of the huge bonuses? Some of | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
the things that they can do have
lapsed. There is going to be a lot | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
of criticism for the directors. The
third issue is how government | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
procurement works in the future.
This was passing it on to smaller | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
and medium-sized companies. Why
couldn't they go directly to the | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
government. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
OK, we want to issue a public
safety announcement - | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
don't take drugs and drive. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
If you do you may end up
like this car in California. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
In these CCTV pictures
you can see the car | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
speeding across a road,
it hits the central reservation then | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
smashes into a dentist's office
on the 2nd floor of a building. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
The driver is being investigated
by police for driving under | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
the influence of narcotics. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |

Beyond 100 Days from the BBC. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
Coming up for viewers
on the BBC News Channel | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
and BBC World News -
we get the latest on British | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
attempts to find out if Russia
interfered in the EU referendum | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |

And as thousands of jobs
and contracts around the world hang | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
in the balance we'll discuss
what went wrong at the | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
construction giant Carillion. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
That's still to come. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
Good evening. A mild Monday morning
of rain gave way to colder | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
conditions as we went through the
day. Turning increasingly wintry for | 0:26:15 | 0:26:23 | |
the north and west and behind that
front, cold air is starting to dig | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
down. That stays with us for the
next couple of days. A change in the | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
weather story. A rash of showers
continue through the night. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
Primarily rain across central and
southern England but further north | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
as showers will turn increasingly
wintry even at lower levels. There | 0:26:41 | 0:26:49 | |
will be some snow starting to settle
on lower levels and with | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
temperatures close to freezing
likely to be some icy stretches | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
around first thing. Not only for
Scotland and Northern Ireland but | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
perhaps for North West England as
well. For Wales and the central | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
England, a wintry mix of sleet and
snow. Anywhere else further south, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
it is rain but driven along by the
westerly winds. The Southeast might | 0:27:11 | 0:27:21 | |
fare reasonably well tomorrow but it
will still be windy. Wintry showers | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
will continue. Factoring the
strength of the biting wind, it is | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
going to feel quite raw out there
for much of the day. Not much in the | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
way of change as we move into
Wednesday. The showers more frequent | 0:27:35 | 0:27:41 | |
the further north and west you go.
Again, we will see wintry showers | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
through the day. Highs of only three
to 8 degrees. Feeling colder in the | 0:27:44 | 0:27:52 | |
strength of the wind. Wednesday
night into Thursday morning, we'll | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
start to see a bit of a change. Low
pressure will move in. On the | 0:27:56 | 0:28:02 | |
southern flank of that, the winds
are really quite strong. On the | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
leading edge for a time in Central
and southern areas, we could see | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
some snow. It is the wind that could
be the real issue first thing on | 0:28:10 | 0:28:17 | |
Thursday morning. Severe gales are
possibility. Some snow also | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
possible. This low is moving through
quite a pace. So afterwards, quieter | 0:28:21 | 0:28:30 | |
but still pretty cold. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |

Last week the Democrats
on the Senate Foreign Relations | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
Committee warned of deepening
Russian interference | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
throughout Europe. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:12 | |
They issued a report showing
elections in countries like Britain, | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
France and Germany were targeted
by Moscow-sponsored hacking, | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
internet trolling and
social media campaigns. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
They say 19 countries
were affected. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:19 | |
As part of the investigation
into Russian interference in the US | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
election the Senate Intelligence
Committee has been calling on big | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
social media companies to explain
how their platforms were used. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:27 | |
Here's Colin Stretch General Counsel
for Facebook appearing in front | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
of the committee in November of last
year. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:37 | |
When it comes to the 2016 election,
I want to be clear. We take what | 0:31:38 | 0:31:43 | |
happened on Facebook very seriously.
The foreign interference we saw is | 0:31:43 | 0:31:48 | |
reprehensible. That foreign actors
hiding behind fake accounts abused | 0:31:48 | 0:31:54 | |
our platform and other internet
services to try to sow division and | 0:31:54 | 0:32:00 | |
discord and to try to undermine the
election is directly contrary to our | 0:32:00 | 0:32:06 | |
values and goes against everything
that Facebook stands for. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
Theresa May has already spoken
of the need to respond | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
to Russia's tactics -
a point she made in a speech at | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
the Lord Mayor's Banquet last year. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
It is seeking to recognise
information. Deploying its state-run | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
media organisations to plant fake
stories and photos shot images in an | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
attempt to sow discord in the West
and undermine our institutions. I | 0:32:26 | 0:32:30 | |
have a very simple message for
Russia. We know what you are doing | 0:32:30 | 0:32:36 | |
and you will not succeed. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
The UK's Digital, Culture, Media
and Sport Select Committee has been | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
conducting its own investigation
into Russian meddling. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
Facebook was set a deadline of TODAY
to hand over information | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
about Russian campaigns
on their platform, | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
that relate to the UK. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
The chair of the Committee
Damian Collins joins us | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
now from Westminster. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
Good to see you. Tell us first of
all, what do you suspect Russia is | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
doing and what is the evidence you
have been able to gather so far? We | 0:32:59 | 0:33:06 | |
know from evidence linked to Twitter
accounts and counselling to back to | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
Russia that Russia was active during
the Brexit referendum. If you look | 0:33:10 | 0:33:16 | |
at what happened in America we know
that Russian operatives used both | 0:33:16 | 0:33:22 | |
Twitter and Facebook to spread
messages during the US presidential | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
campaign and we want to know to what
extent Facebook was used here as | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
well. What I am disappointed about,
notwithstanding from what you heard | 0:33:30 | 0:33:35 | |
the Facebook General Council saying
in previous clips, despite Facebook | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
saying they take it seriously, they
are not doing anything proactive to | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
look for abuse of their servers
chewing the referendum campaign. We | 0:33:42 | 0:33:47 | |
have asked them to share with the
committee evidence of the activity. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:52 | |
They say unless we can demonstrate
to them it took place they don't see | 0:33:52 | 0:33:57 | |
why they should look for it. We know
the characteristics of fake news, of | 0:33:57 | 0:34:03 | |
Russian activity, have already been
established by the work done in | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
America. Facebook should be looking
inside their own systems and looking | 0:34:06 | 0:34:10 | |
for similar activity that requires
further and deeper analysis. When we | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
go as a committee to Washington
which I will be doing in February. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
We'll be holding evidence sessions
of the select committee at the | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
embassy in Washington where we will
be questioning tech companies, we | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
want them to come up with answers
about analysing what has been going | 0:34:26 | 0:34:31 | |
on on their servers and platforms,
so we know for sure what is going on | 0:34:31 | 0:34:38 | |
and what we need to do to act
against it. Mr Collins, can you | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
sanction those companies if you find
they are not cooperating with you? | 0:34:41 | 0:34:46 | |
It is a serious matter for those
companies to refuse to co-operate | 0:34:46 | 0:34:50 | |
with a parliamentary enquiry. They
are cooperating with an inquiry in | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
the US Senate. It will be a very
bizarre way to start the year by his | 0:34:54 | 0:35:01 | |
company refusing to cooperate with
what our reasonable requests of a | 0:35:01 | 0:35:06 | |
Parliamentary committee. We had a
debate in the House of Commons | 0:35:06 | 0:35:10 | |
before the Christmas recess where
the digital media and sport made it | 0:35:10 | 0:35:16 | |
very clear he expects Facebook to
respond to the inquiry of the | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
committee. That means answering
questions and cooperating was at the | 0:35:20 | 0:35:26 | |
Government is prepared to consider
the action to take. You set a | 0:35:26 | 0:35:31 | |
deadline for Facebook which was
today. Are you saying they have not | 0:35:31 | 0:35:35 | |
responded? Reset the deadline for
twitter. -- we set a deadline. The | 0:35:35 | 0:35:46 | |
British government has asked for
information and they have not come | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
back. Neither twitter nor Facebook
have given any information relating | 0:35:48 | 0:35:54 | |
to Russian activity on the servers
during the Brexit referendum. I | 0:35:54 | 0:36:05 | |
believe the information given to
Facebook and Twitter was supplied by | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
US intelligence services. My
understanding is Facebook and | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
Twitter is not looking for other
evidence of Russian activity. I | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
believe they can do that. Facebook
is a closed system. It is very | 0:36:14 | 0:36:20 | |
difficult for other people to look
at what is going on for that they | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
have the capability to look at other
evidence of problematic activity on | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
their site related to the Brexit
campaign for that they did do that | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
in France. They did a detailed study
looking at the activity of fake | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
accounts that were seeking to
influence opinion during the | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
presidential election and they did
their own study on that. They should | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
do the same. We should see a pattern
of behaviour linked to Russian | 0:36:43 | 0:36:48 | |
agencies, looking to sow division
and mislead people. We're getting an | 0:36:48 | 0:36:57 | |
emerging picture of how that is
happening is that we need tech | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
companies to do more to cooperate
with us. Interesting that he brought | 0:37:00 | 0:37:06 | |
France up. President Macron has gone
further than many others. He | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
announced in his New Year speech he
was imposing restrictions on social | 0:37:10 | 0:37:15 | |
media companies that we don't know
the exact details because the bill | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
has not been published but he's
talking about a cap on how much one | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
of the companies can spend on
advertising, or someone who is | 0:37:22 | 0:37:28 | |
posting on Facebook, how much they
can spend on a particular | 0:37:28 | 0:37:32 | |
advertising campaign. They are
saying they would ban access to | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
Facebook or Twitter if they were
found to be spreading fake news. I | 0:37:36 | 0:37:40 | |
would not be surprised if we saw
similar action taken here at some | 0:37:40 | 0:37:44 | |
point during the United States.
These companies are too big for that | 0:37:44 | 0:37:50 | |
they're not regulating themselves
and something will have to change. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:54 | |
The White House this weekend warned
illegal immigrants in the US | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
to expect more raids
and deportations at | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
their places of work. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:00 | |
Last week the government raided 98
7-eleven grocery stores in 17 states | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
to round up undocumented workers. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:04 | |
21 people were arrested. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:10 | |
The Department of Homeland Security
now says the public should | 0:38:10 | 0:38:11 | |
expect more such raids. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
These crackdowns are often most
obvious in small communities | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
like Pacific County,
Washington. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:15 | |
The majority of people
there voted for Donald Trump - | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
making it the first time
they supported a Republican | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
in more than 60 years. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:21 | |
But some now question
whether these raids are OK. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:27 | |
They are taking the easy targets.
They are waiting for them when they | 0:38:27 | 0:38:34 | |
arrive at work. I don't think people
thought about it. I don't think they | 0:38:34 | 0:38:40 | |
believe people's writes would be
trampled on. These are our friends | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
and neighbours, people we value. I
did not think about how reality | 0:38:44 | 0:38:53 | |
would play out with people I know.
There are some Republicans here who | 0:38:53 | 0:39:00 | |
are delighted with what is going on.
The enforcement of immigration. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
There are also a number of
Republicans who are feeling very | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
distressed and saying this is not
being done in the proper way. I | 0:39:08 | 0:39:14 | |
consider myself very politically
Conservative. I thought it sounded | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
great. You break the law, by golly.
Then you think, wait a minute, wait | 0:39:17 | 0:39:27 | |
a minute. This year, what we've
noticed is a lot of people who have | 0:39:27 | 0:39:32 | |
been in our community for a number
of years have been arrested and | 0:39:32 | 0:39:38 | |
detained. We're talking about people
who have been here ten, 12, even | 0:39:38 | 0:39:43 | |
more years. It is impacting the
fisheries, the cal workers, the | 0:39:43 | 0:39:49 | |
cranberry box. Even more so than
that, people have been emotionally | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
in turmoil because they've seen
people they have known for years, | 0:39:54 | 0:39:59 | |
friends, acquaintances, neighbours,
people who they have gone to church | 0:39:59 | 0:40:04 | |
with, people they go to school with,
they are just gone. They are taking | 0:40:04 | 0:40:10 | |
the easy targets. I have been told
people are just going to work for | 0:40:10 | 0:40:17 | |
the day and the immigration service
is waiting for them at work. It is | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
frustrating because they have not
yet been able to tell us names of | 0:40:21 | 0:40:26 | |
people they are taking away or any
details. Sometimes we have had cases | 0:40:26 | 0:40:31 | |
where maybe some of these missing
and we don't know if they were taken | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
by IS or they are missing person. I
have no problem whatsoever in seeing | 0:40:34 | 0:40:41 | |
people who have been committing
crimes deported. Since I have been | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
sheriff, I think they have only
taken people about half a dozen | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
times from our jail facility. Aye I
knew a guy for many years. -- I knew | 0:40:48 | 0:40:56 | |
a guy for many years. I found out
last summer he was picked up. I was | 0:40:56 | 0:41:03 | |
like, they picked up Mario Gotz?
Since the new administration | 0:41:03 | 0:41:15 | |
started, everyone is going to be
detained and then I knew that they | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
were going to focus on the
criminals. I am sure I am not a | 0:41:18 | 0:41:24 | |
criminal. I am not one of those. He
is somebody you would want to have | 0:41:24 | 0:41:30 | |
in your country. Somebody who is
adding in a very positive way to our | 0:41:30 | 0:41:35 | |
community. You cannot tell me that
our community is better off, or the | 0:41:35 | 0:41:41 | |
United States is better off because
Marion has been shipped back to | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
Mexico. -- Mario. It is easy to hear
sound bites and said his great | 0:41:44 | 0:41:55 | |
policy. It is different when you are
implementing it in seeing how it | 0:41:55 | 0:42:02 | |
affects people's lives. Shame on me
for being short-sighted. Fine. It is | 0:42:02 | 0:42:10 | |
not just. It is not just to me.
Pacific County, Washington state. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:25 | |
A woman has gone on trial
in the south of France, | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
accused of seducing and poisoning
four elderly men. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
Patricia Dagorn, who was nicknamed
The Black Widow of the Riviera, | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
denies all the charges. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:34 | |
Police say Ms Dagorn met at least 20
men through a matchmaking agency | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
between 2011 and 2012. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:38 | |
She allegedly asked
most of them for money, | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
or to name her in their wills. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:41 | |
Two of the men died
as a result of poisoning. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
The future of the biggest commercial
airliner could be in doubt | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
as the company who makes them say
they may have to stop production. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |

Let's revisit one of our top
stories - and leading UK | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
construction company,
Carillion, has gone | 0:43:37 | 0:43:38 | |
into liquidation. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:39 | |
Carillion is involved in major
infrastructure projects including | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
the rollout of broadband,
and the building and maintenance | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
of prisons, schools
and hospitals across the UK. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
But the company directors
over-reached - they paid | 0:43:46 | 0:43:47 | |
themselves huge bonuses,
even though Carillion had huge debts | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
of more than $2 billion and had
issued three profit warnings | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
in the past six months. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:58 | |
Joining me in the studio
Edwin Morgan, the Policy Director | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
at the Institute of Directors
here in London. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
It's an organisation
which represents the interests | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
of business leaders around
the world. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
I was explaining the four-year came
here, perhaps not very eloquently, | 0:44:09 | 0:44:18 | |
there was a system of clawing back
bonuses to well-paid directors. It | 0:44:18 | 0:44:25 | |
is good practice for a company of
that size to have that mechanism | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
where if something goes really wrong
billboard can claw back bonuses that | 0:44:28 | 0:44:32 | |
had been awarded to executives. --
the board can claw back. It seems | 0:44:32 | 0:44:39 | |
terms had changed to make it harder
to claw back the money, which is | 0:44:39 | 0:44:45 | |
inappropriate in normal times. In
the context of Carillion collapsing, | 0:44:45 | 0:44:49 | |
it seems to be highly inappropriate.
To make it really simple, it is like | 0:44:49 | 0:44:55 | |
building your house. You bring in a
master builder who has different | 0:44:55 | 0:45:00 | |
suppliers, smaller suppliers for the
Carpenter, the plumber, the | 0:45:00 | 0:45:04 | |
electrician. They oversee the whole
project was is what Carillion was | 0:45:04 | 0:45:09 | |
doing for the Government. They are
the intermediary. I'm struggling to | 0:45:09 | 0:45:13 | |
see how you could do without the
intermediary in the huge | 0:45:13 | 0:45:17 | |
construction projects. You do need
the private sector expertise | 0:45:17 | 0:45:21 | |
organising loads of contracts
together. On HS2, three of the mega | 0:45:21 | 0:45:27 | |
companies coming together on a
joint-venture. It is a big question. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:30 | |
The Government says it wants to get
more smaller companies directly | 0:45:30 | 0:45:36 | |
procuring from them. The public
sector does occasionally get these | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
things wrong. There are questions
about whether they should have kept | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
using Carillion after the profit
warnings that there were problems in | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
the past with the way things had
turned out. You will never get it | 0:45:45 | 0:45:49 | |
perfectly right. There will always
be mistakes made. Certainly, the | 0:45:49 | 0:45:54 | |
system which maybe uses smaller
companies more directly said they | 0:45:54 | 0:45:59 | |
are not then affected. When
Carillion goes bust, it affects all | 0:45:59 | 0:46:03 | |
the smaller companies as well.
Private - public partnerships are | 0:46:03 | 0:46:17 | |
very popular in the United States
for that everyone wants to have | 0:46:17 | 0:46:19 | |
infrastructure projects and they
don't want a hike in taxes to pay | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
for it. Does the collapse of
Carillion put into question what has | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
become more fashionable? The
Department for Transport was trying | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
to reassure us that all of these
major projects will still go ahead. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
I think there is no way around it.
The Government cannot build a lot of | 0:46:31 | 0:46:36 | |
these things themselves. There is
nothing wrong per se with having a | 0:46:36 | 0:46:42 | |
public - private partnership. I
think where the Government could try | 0:46:42 | 0:46:45 | |
to look at where the terms could be
improved, those things are | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
absolutely what they should be
doing. I think really, this is one | 0:46:48 | 0:46:53 | |
of those unfortunate cases where a
company goes bust. It happens and | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
there is not anything the Government
can do about it. They could not have | 0:46:57 | 0:47:02 | |
given them more contracts after
July. There are questions about the | 0:47:02 | 0:47:09 | |
timing of some more contracts. All I
would say is you cannot avoid this | 0:47:09 | 0:47:15 | |
situation entirely. There is going
to be an investigation and it should | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
look into what directors have done
but also what the role of the | 0:47:19 | 0:47:24 | |
Government was. Whether one
allegation -- one allegation which | 0:47:24 | 0:47:29 | |
has been made is whether Carillion
has come in too low and civil | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
servants signing them should have
been aware of that and pushed | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
harder. That is one thing we
definitely had to find out. Thank | 0:47:36 | 0:47:41 | |
you for coming in. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |

Does swearing at work reduce stress? | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
We speak to the author
who thinks it's therapeutic. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
We'll be asking why. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:55 | |
Former West Brom and England
forward Cyrille Regis has | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
died at the age of 59. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:00 | |
As a black player he's been
described as a pioneer. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:04 | |
Coming into the game in the 1970s
he suffered racial abuse - | 0:48:04 | 0:48:07 | |
even when wearing the England shirt. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
Our Sports Editor Dan Roan
looks back at his life. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:18 | |
Region is taking it well on the
chest. What a great shot! Cyrille | 0:48:18 | 0:48:24 | |
Regis didn't just lead the line he
led the way for that known for pace | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
and power he broke through at West
Brom in the 1970s, time when there | 0:48:28 | 0:48:33 | |
were few black players. It made the
situation at the hawthorns all the | 0:48:33 | 0:48:38 | |
more unique where Regis, Brendan
Batson and Laurie Cunningham, | 0:48:38 | 0:48:42 | |
together nicknamed the three degrees
were at the heart on the era's stick | 0:48:42 | 0:48:45 | |
fighting teams. They were subject to
relentless abuse. We were used to | 0:48:45 | 0:48:56 | |
about 10,000 people shouting racial
abuse at you, stirring bananas on | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
the pitch and monkey chanting and so
on. I took it as it was someone | 0:48:59 | 0:49:05 | |
trying to intimidate me foot at just
the third black player to represent | 0:49:05 | 0:49:09 | |
England are not everyone welcomed
his debut. Got a letter through the | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
post saying, if you put your feet on
the Wembley turf, you get one of | 0:49:13 | 0:49:20 | |
these three or do. And it was a
bullet. His importance was | 0:49:20 | 0:49:25 | |
recognised in 2008 when awarded an
MBE. The tributes laid here at the | 0:49:25 | 0:49:31 | |
hawthorns today Are testament to a
man who became a symbol for the | 0:49:31 | 0:49:35 | |
fight against racism in Britain. The
legacy of Cyrille Regis felt not | 0:49:35 | 0:49:39 | |
just here at West Brom but
throughout the sport, a role model | 0:49:39 | 0:49:43 | |
for a generation of Black
footballers inspired by his dignity | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
and determination. Cyrille Regis was
far more than a mere player, a | 0:49:46 | 0:49:52 | |
pioneer who faced up to the
unacceptable site of football and | 0:49:52 | 0:49:56 | |
helped it to move forward. His
impact on and off the pitch cannot | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
be overstated. You are watching
Beyond 100 Days. In Bucharest, the | 0:49:59 | 0:50:14 | |
Prime Minister has just resigned. We
have heard he stepped aside after | 0:50:14 | 0:50:19 | |
his gruelling social Democrat Party
withdrew political backing for him | 0:50:19 | 0:50:24 | |
in an overwhelming vote. He is the
second Prime Minister to be ousted | 0:50:24 | 0:50:29 | |
by his party in less than seven
months. Political turmoil in the | 0:50:29 | 0:50:33 | |
mania. We will bring you more on
that as we get it. Thanks to | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
President John, many parents and
media organisations have been | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
discussing the issue of swearing and
what words are acceptable. What if | 0:50:40 | 0:50:51 | |
we told you that swearing could
actually be good for you. Yes, | 0:50:51 | 0:50:54 | |
apparently sofas. According to a new
book. Those select words could | 0:50:54 | 0:50:56 | |
actually reduce pain and lower
anxiety. His here to discuss the | 0:50:56 | 0:50:58 | |
amazing science of bad language but
I'm feeling slightly relieved when I | 0:50:58 | 0:51:01 | |
turn the air blue, I am doing some
good for myself. There are fantastic | 0:51:01 | 0:51:06 | |
studies that have been done on this.
The University of Keele is the real | 0:51:06 | 0:51:10 | |
epicentre of this. My interest was
first spiked by a study which showed | 0:51:10 | 0:51:14 | |
if you are swearing you can keep
your hands in ice cold water for | 0:51:14 | 0:51:18 | |
about half as long again as if you
are not. That is the first thing | 0:51:18 | 0:51:24 | |
that peaks to interest will stop
what is going on in the brain? The | 0:51:24 | 0:51:26 | |
more you look at how swearing has
been studied, the more you realise | 0:51:26 | 0:51:30 | |
how instrumental it has been in
understanding how the brain works. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:34 | |
Is that why we swear when we bang
our thumbs with a hammer? It was | 0:51:34 | 0:51:42 | |
making you feel worse by
concentrating on the negative thing | 0:51:42 | 0:51:47 | |
that happened was a research shows
you can withstand more pain and | 0:51:47 | 0:51:52 | |
exert more effort when you are
exercising. You could be more | 0:51:52 | 0:51:54 | |
resilient in general if you are
swearing. I have also seen that | 0:51:54 | 0:52:00 | |
research shows it is different for
men and women. Surprise, surprise. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:03 | |
Men can get away with wearing at
work that women cannot. It is | 0:52:03 | 0:52:11 | |
because we suffer more! We, as
women, have a far greater social | 0:52:11 | 0:52:19 | |
risk when we choose to swear. You
have to trade off some of your | 0:52:19 | 0:52:25 | |
identity, your femininity and
compliance and making nice guy in | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
favour of co-opting the language of
power. You have to be even more | 0:52:28 | 0:52:32 | |
certain than a man as he will have a
positive impact you were looking | 0:52:32 | 0:52:35 | |
for. I have to ask you, given
everything that has been reported | 0:52:35 | 0:52:40 | |
after the White House after the last
few days, what is the impact when | 0:52:40 | 0:52:47 | |
the leader of the country swears? It
depends what he is swearing about. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
One thing that strikes me about
comments that Donald Trump made | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
about certain countries, they all
have something very obvious in | 0:52:52 | 0:52:56 | |
common. If he had used a more benign
term, we would not be talking about | 0:52:56 | 0:53:01 | |
it. One thing about swearing is it
captures our emotions. The heart | 0:53:01 | 0:53:07 | |
rate rises and makes you produce
lots of adrenaline. And so we | 0:53:07 | 0:53:12 | |
noticed what he said because of the
language he chose to use. Those | 0:53:12 | 0:53:16 | |
opinions would have been the same
even if they had been couched in far | 0:53:16 | 0:53:20 | |
more civil terms. Is it true we are
not the only thing that swears? | 0:53:20 | 0:53:27 | |
Chimpanzees also swear, is that
right? If you are teaching | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
chimpanzees to use sign language,
the best thing to do is to adopt | 0:53:31 | 0:53:34 | |
them into your household. If you're
going to do that you have to potty | 0:53:34 | 0:53:38 | |
train them. As soon same internalise
the potty to boot, they will use | 0:53:38 | 0:53:45 | |
their terminology which is
Everything discreet three in the | 0:53:45 | 0:53:47 | |
same way we use our own excretory
word may need to express that | 0:53:47 | 0:53:52 | |
castration through signs. There is
one that is called Darcy, which is | 0:53:52 | 0:53:58 | |
basically put your hand up under the
chin. There is a great description | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
in the book that is written about
this about how sometimes the lab | 0:54:01 | 0:54:07 | |
would be resounding with the sound
of chimp teeth clacking together | 0:54:07 | 0:54:12 | |
when they were forcefully swearing.
Really interesting. Thank you for | 0:54:12 | 0:54:16 | |
coming. You may be trying to think
of ways to read gift novelty socks | 0:54:16 | 0:54:20 | |
he got for Christmas but for one
entrepreneur they are his route for | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
success. The New Yorker has Downs
syndrome for that he decided he | 0:54:24 | 0:54:30 | |
wanted to start a business with his
father saying crazy and colourful | 0:54:30 | 0:54:34 | |
socks. Now it is a million-dollar
business. Socks, socks, more socks. | 0:54:34 | 0:54:46 | |
I and John's dad and we are the
co-founders of John's the socks. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:57 | |
