0:00:11 > 0:00:18You are watching Beyond 100 Days. The dough surges through 26,000
0:00:18 > 0:00:22breaking records and govern the White House something to cheer
0:00:22 > 0:00:28about. -- Dow. A new survey says the financial burden is largely thanks
0:00:28 > 0:00:34to Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This is the moment the Dow broke
0:00:34 > 0:00:40records thanks to high investor confidence. The children kept
0:00:40 > 0:00:43captive in their family home in California, some chained to their
0:00:43 > 0:00:48beds. Also on the programme, building a bio defence. Why the
0:00:48 > 0:00:50United States isn't only worried about the threat of nuclear
0:00:50 > 0:00:56missiles. And the type of police chase that can only happen down
0:00:56 > 0:01:01under. Keep in touch using the hashtag.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17There's a curious disconnect in America today. The president has
0:01:17 > 0:01:20record low approval ratings but the stock market is hitting record
0:01:20 > 0:01:26highs. The Dow Jones smashed through the 26,000 mark for the first time
0:01:26 > 0:01:29ever than the economists say President Trump should take credit.
0:01:29 > 0:01:38It took the Dow just 12 days to move it 1000 points making it the fastest
0:01:38 > 0:01:43gain on record. A group of economists says the President's
0:01:43 > 0:01:47policies on taxes are largely beyond the market's strong performance and
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Donald Trump made it clear he is proud of that achievement.We have
0:01:53 > 0:01:57broken a lot of records and we're breaking another one today.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03Unemployment is the best it has been in recorded history, fantastic and
0:02:03 > 0:02:11the best number we have had. We have never seen anything close and we are
0:02:11 > 0:02:17very honoured by that.The phraseology may be odd but clearly
0:02:17 > 0:02:22the president is happy with what Dow is doing and what the level of
0:02:22 > 0:02:26unemployment amongst African Americans which is low, let's get
0:02:26 > 0:02:30more on this. Let me start by asking you about the survey done by your
0:02:30 > 0:02:37former employers at the Wall Street Journal, suggesting Mr Trump and not
0:02:37 > 0:02:40President Obama after credit for the stock market boom, with you stand on
0:02:40 > 0:02:47that?Clearly it is a stock market boom that started under President
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Obama at the depths of the last downturn and the recovery we have
0:02:53 > 0:02:56seen in 2010 was quite substantial even before President Trump took
0:02:56 > 0:02:58office but he does deserve some credit for what we have seen over
0:02:58 > 0:03:04the last year. Right after the election stocks went on a tiered and
0:03:04 > 0:03:07it is because President Trump is getting corporate America at the two
0:03:07 > 0:03:13things that really wants, lower taxes and looser regulations, so it
0:03:13 > 0:03:17is getting both of those and that is providing the tail when that stocks
0:03:17 > 0:03:20need to keep rising this quite had a bit of scepticism that this can keep
0:03:20 > 0:03:27going forever.As Wall Street disconnected from Main Street? Are
0:03:27 > 0:03:32working men and women feeling their stock market boom?People who have
0:03:32 > 0:03:40401 Ks are feeling it.Pension funds.The stock market is heavily
0:03:40 > 0:03:43tilted towards people of higher incomes but what we haven't seen yet
0:03:43 > 0:03:53as a pick-up in general wage growth. We saw moderate wage growth over the
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Obama years, one of the puzzles of his presidency, and President Trump
0:03:58 > 0:04:03hasn't changed any of the core trajectories on figures. The figures
0:04:03 > 0:04:08are all relatively somewhat of what they were during the Obama years. I
0:04:08 > 0:04:13think people are kind of surprised about this stock market boom
0:04:13 > 0:04:17continuing and President Trump himself called it a big fat ugly
0:04:17 > 0:04:21stock market bubble and he was cheered on by quite a few sceptics
0:04:21 > 0:04:27for saying that because plenty of people believe it will come crashing
0:04:27 > 0:04:33down at some point before long.And that is the interesting point, when
0:04:33 > 0:04:38you look towards the midterms, is the political danger of tying
0:04:38 > 0:04:43yourself to what could be a bobble? There is a huge danger. Every
0:04:43 > 0:04:46presidential administration up until now had avoided talking about the
0:04:46 > 0:04:51stock market in this way and never wanted to attach themselves to a
0:04:51 > 0:04:53market that has plenty of people scratching their heads when it keeps
0:04:53 > 0:04:59going up and up and up. Where does this leave them? The president on
0:04:59 > 0:05:06average once a week has tweeted about the stock market. He has fully
0:05:06 > 0:05:09embraced it and really has lost the ability to blame his predecessor for
0:05:09 > 0:05:14anything when it comes to the stock market or the economy, so he owns it
0:05:14 > 0:05:19now and if it is to correct as everyone expects, history shows it
0:05:19 > 0:05:24will revert back to some normal range for stocks, when that happens,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29he will have to come up with some answers and that is not going to be
0:05:29 > 0:05:32comfortable for him or anybody in the administration.Thank you for
0:05:32 > 0:05:38your thoughts. What goes up can come down and that
0:05:38 > 0:05:41is the political danger for the president but we shouldn't underplay
0:05:41 > 0:05:45the fact that when you look at polling, the majority of Americans
0:05:45 > 0:05:51are very happy with the way they have not -- the way the economy is
0:05:51 > 0:05:54going. The polling numbers show that
0:05:54 > 0:06:01Americans are looking at the stock market and it is having an effect on
0:06:01 > 0:06:07general in consumer and investor confidence. What they hope is that
0:06:07 > 0:06:10as this trickles down to the general population and people see their
0:06:10 > 0:06:13pension funds are performing better than perhaps the approval ratings
0:06:13 > 0:06:20will go up, but it is crazy the power of investors and consumers to
0:06:20 > 0:06:24forget that markets can crash as well as solar.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26But the feel-good factor is important and we will have to see
0:06:26 > 0:06:30where it goes. That is what people are crediting
0:06:30 > 0:06:35the White House with. Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has
0:06:35 > 0:06:39been subpoenaed by Robert Noor's crash investigation and may now have
0:06:39 > 0:06:44to appear before the grand duty to answer questions on ties between the
0:06:44 > 0:06:50Trump campaign and Moscow. As far as we know this is the first member of
0:06:50 > 0:06:56the inner circle to be subpoenaed by Mueller. He will still be under oath
0:06:56 > 0:07:03and what he has to say has taken on new significance because of the book
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Fire and Fury in which Steve Bannon described the meeting between Donald
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Trump's summoned Russian operatives as treasonous. Joining us as Reid
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Wilson. We don't know of course what Steve Bannon told the committee in
0:07:18 > 0:07:23the house today. How significant is it that he has been subpoenaed?It
0:07:23 > 0:07:28is not entirely clear and this could be a play by Mueller's investigative
0:07:28 > 0:07:32team to get him to cooperate more than he has the past and it is not
0:07:32 > 0:07:36unusual for a Sabena to be issued even if one isn't entirely
0:07:36 > 0:07:42necessary. It probably tells us that Steve Bannon is not the target of
0:07:42 > 0:07:47the investigation. It is very unusual for the target to be
0:07:47 > 0:07:49subpoenaed and an investigation like this.There are also a couple of
0:07:49 > 0:07:53other members of the Trump campaign who are going to appear before the
0:07:53 > 0:07:59house committee, we think this week. One of them is the chief of
0:07:59 > 0:08:03communications and the White House, interesting because she is still in
0:08:03 > 0:08:08the White House.Angie has been worth the president longer than just
0:08:08 > 0:08:12about anyone that has said so presumably after has been talk of
0:08:12 > 0:08:15obstructing justice or anything else that Robert Mueller has been looking
0:08:15 > 0:08:21into. That is what Steve Bannon has been the focus of as well. He was
0:08:21 > 0:08:25not in the room when a lot of these decisions were made and wasn't even
0:08:25 > 0:08:29working for the Trump campaign when the meeting with the Russian
0:08:29 > 0:08:33operatives happened, but he clearly knows of what kinds of links between
0:08:33 > 0:08:39the various players in the Donald Trump world exists, and whether any
0:08:39 > 0:08:44meetings involve the president himself before he was president.28
0:08:44 > 0:08:50years old and they keep clear.I want to talk to you about the
0:08:50 > 0:08:56immigration meeting last Thursday in which Donald Trump used the rather
0:08:56 > 0:09:00salty expression with which we are all familiar. The man who told us
0:09:00 > 0:09:04about that was a Republican, Senator Lindsey Graham, speaking in the
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Senate judiciary today. He has been playing golf at the president and
0:09:09 > 0:09:14became a lot closer, just listen to this.Tuesday we had a president
0:09:14 > 0:09:21that I was proud to golf with, call my friend who understood
0:09:21 > 0:09:28immigration, he had to have border security, with a wall, but he also
0:09:28 > 0:09:32understood that he had to do it with compassion. I don't know where that
0:09:32 > 0:09:39guy went but I want him back. Interesting. The problem is, he told
0:09:39 > 0:09:46them to come up with the bipartisan deal and then between Tuesday and
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Thursday, the hardline conservatives got to him and all disintegrated.It
0:09:50 > 0:09:55may even be a difference of a few hours. He spoke with the Senator who
0:09:55 > 0:09:58had been working with Lindsey Graham Thursday morning just a couple of
0:09:58 > 0:10:02hours before the meeting and that that meeting the president brought
0:10:02 > 0:10:06in a bunch of those immigration hardliners you just referred to, so
0:10:06 > 0:10:10it is clear the president is hearing from a bunch of different people and
0:10:10 > 0:10:15one person I wouldn't overlook his chief of staff John Kelly, the
0:10:15 > 0:10:19former Department of Homeland Security secretary who is a
0:10:19 > 0:10:22hardliner himself. Kelly reportedly told the president this was not
0:10:22 > 0:10:27going in his favour if you had reached this bipartisan deal, that
0:10:27 > 0:10:32it would happen with his own base, and that is nothing that moves this
0:10:32 > 0:10:34president more than hearing he might hurt his standing with his own base.
0:10:34 > 0:10:41Thank you. And read this disintegration around immigration
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and the acrimony that has blown up between Democrats and Republicans,
0:10:44 > 0:10:50we are looking ahead to Friday, the government budget is up for renewal
0:10:50 > 0:10:55and they have got to find a bipartisan deal and that, are we
0:10:55 > 0:10:59looking at a government shutdown?We have only had one before in 2013
0:10:59 > 0:11:03when the government shutdown. Everyone has said they would like to
0:11:03 > 0:11:09try and avoid it but the whole issue around what President Trump called
0:11:09 > 0:11:14some African countries and Haiti has caused a huge amount of acrimony
0:11:14 > 0:11:20between Democrats and Republicans and President Trump getting at
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Democrats, and the chances of some kind of deal around immigration
0:11:23 > 0:11:27seems to have just gone out the window like that, and what that is
0:11:27 > 0:11:31the prospect we could have a government shutdown. They may try
0:11:31 > 0:11:36and limp along with one of these because there are serious
0:11:36 > 0:11:38consequences with the government shutdown and people don't get paid
0:11:38 > 0:11:43any more, so it has a real impact on people's lives, but I have to say
0:11:43 > 0:11:48the mood in this town as it is a bit like preparing for the snowstorm.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Everyone is thinking it may well happen. He will blame it on the
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Democrats but as others have said it doesn't look good when you control
0:11:57 > 0:12:02three branches of government and have shutdown.They are the ones who
0:12:02 > 0:12:05tend to get blamed. Let's move on to a story in
0:12:05 > 0:12:11California which is just so shocking. First, imagine having 13
0:12:11 > 0:12:16children and a margin torturing them. A couple in California has
0:12:16 > 0:12:18been arrested after police raided their home and discovered brothers
0:12:18 > 0:12:24and sisters ranging in age from 2-29 chained to beds and severely
0:12:24 > 0:12:28malnourished. One of the kids was able to escape and alert authorities
0:12:28 > 0:12:32and she was so emaciated they thought she was ten years of age
0:12:32 > 0:12:43initially. Our colleague reports from the scene in Perris.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46In public they looked like a big happy family, devoutly Christian,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48renewing their wedding vows in Las Vegas, David
0:12:48 > 0:12:50and Louise Turpin played the part of proud parents,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53but in private, say police, the Turpins had a dark secret.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55At dawn on Sunday a 17-year-old girl escaped
0:12:55 > 0:12:59from this house and called for help.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Inside officers said they found her 12 brothers
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and sisters dirty and malnourished, shackled to their beds
0:13:03 > 0:13:09with chains and padlocks, the home dark and foul smelling.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Neighbours now admit there were signs that
0:13:11 > 0:13:16something was amiss.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I never saw a scooter, I never saw a bike, I saw
0:13:19 > 0:13:23the infant may be three times, maybe, I never saw the infant again.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25How did they look when you saw them?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29They were always pale, like abnormally pale.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31The children do look pale in pictures posted on
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Facebook.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Here they are visiting Disneyland.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Police say the siblings were so small that they were shocked
0:13:39 > 0:13:43to discover that seven were actually adults, the eldest 29.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45They are now being treated in hospital.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48They are all in very stable condition and
0:13:48 > 0:13:51they are all doing very well considering the magnitude of what's
0:13:51 > 0:13:52been described.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54This quiet Californian suburb is now under
0:13:54 > 0:13:56intense scrutiny.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Neighbours here are stunned but they are also
0:13:58 > 0:14:00searching their souls asking, could we have saved
0:14:00 > 0:14:07these siblings sooner?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09As for the parents, David and Louise Turpin
0:14:09 > 0:14:10are under arrest charged with
0:14:10 > 0:14:16torture and child endangerment.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25James Cook reporting and authorities in Perris have just given a news
0:14:25 > 0:14:29conference and medics looking after the children say they are friendly
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and cooperative and they are hopeful their lives will get better.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36One of the photographs that stood out for me was when they were in
0:14:36 > 0:14:45their red T-shirts, I notice taken from the cat in the Hat books what
0:14:45 > 0:14:52it takes on a different meaning, that particular photo. Now, foreign
0:14:52 > 0:14:56ministers from around the world are meeting today in Vancouver to focus
0:14:56 > 0:15:00on curbing North Korea's nuchal ambitions but is is not just nuclear
0:15:00 > 0:15:05threats that the United States is worried about, biological agents and
0:15:05 > 0:15:09the ability to inflict mass casualties are also a big concern.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13What would such an attack look like and as the country prepares? Those
0:15:13 > 0:15:19are questions that they occupy the secretary of health and social
0:15:19 > 0:15:25services under Bill Clinton, who joins us now from Miami. When you
0:15:25 > 0:15:30hear about something like a biomedical attack it sounds like a
0:15:30 > 0:15:33bad summer blockbuster, but to CDs could such an attack to be? What are
0:15:33 > 0:15:39we envisioning?This is the 100th anniversary of the Spanish flu, so
0:15:39 > 0:15:45some of these could be intentional and that is why we want a bio
0:15:45 > 0:15:49defence system, but some are unintentional or the result of
0:15:49 > 0:15:56natural occurrences, as Ebola was, where it wasn't formally introduced
0:15:56 > 0:16:02by some country, so you have to have broader view of this and at the end
0:16:02 > 0:16:05of the day, we have to have the infrastructure not only here in the
0:16:05 > 0:16:13United States but around the world to be able to detect it and contain
0:16:13 > 0:16:23these bio events. They really are biological events that are covering
0:16:23 > 0:16:27and increasingly we are recognising it as much a local issue and that is
0:16:27 > 0:16:35how we are treating it in Miami, taking a look at the local response.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40We don't get a response until we have tracked a series of local
0:16:40 > 0:16:46reports, so states and counties and stones. States and towns and
0:16:46 > 0:16:50villages all over the world have to have a reporting system so that they
0:16:50 > 0:16:53can capture these events quickly and make sure we can reduce the
0:16:53 > 0:17:07opportunities for Beth. -- death. You make the point that once a
0:17:07 > 0:17:11community receives a biological attack then it is too late to stop
0:17:11 > 0:17:17planning?It has to be done in advance and you have to have the
0:17:17 > 0:17:20infrastructure, a recording system, a detection system, love to release
0:17:20 > 0:17:24that can make quick diagnosis and then a strategy for containing the
0:17:24 > 0:17:30biological event. And this has to be in place whether it is intentional
0:17:30 > 0:17:42or unintentional or whether it is simply the result of an archiving,
0:17:42 > 0:17:48naturally occurring biological event.You're talking about
0:17:48 > 0:17:52preparedness and I was thinking when we talk about the international
0:17:52 > 0:17:55response, we hear that UK councils are stretched and don't have the
0:17:55 > 0:18:01funding to repair potholes. How are they going to be prepared to put in
0:18:01 > 0:18:05place a bio defence system, the kind you think would protect us?This is
0:18:05 > 0:18:12public health infrastructure. In England, the National Health Service
0:18:12 > 0:18:17has a relationship with local health authorities and the councils in
0:18:17 > 0:18:26England. Preparation costs money, it costs training more than anything
0:18:26 > 0:18:31else, and every physician and Naas has to be trained enough that the
0:18:31 > 0:18:39report as quickly and accurately as possible. Once you have seen the
0:18:39 > 0:18:41patter is, then national organisations can make some
0:18:41 > 0:18:46decisions about whether it is an outbreak that will spread, or
0:18:46 > 0:18:52certainly an outbreak that can be contained in particular area. And of
0:18:52 > 0:18:55course these biological events can also be the result of countries
0:18:55 > 0:19:02introducing. We know that North Korea has the capacity to do this
0:19:02 > 0:19:06but we know that other countries in the world, whether Russia are Serie
0:19:06 > 0:19:12A or Orion, other countries that have the capability and have the
0:19:12 > 0:19:19equipment where they could introduce these kinds of events. -- Syria or
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Iran. That is one reason why the defence and public health prevention
0:19:23 > 0:19:27people have to work together.But when you talk about the
0:19:27 > 0:19:32decision-making process, when you are facing a big biological threat
0:19:32 > 0:19:36there will be some point at which you stop trying to treat everyone on
0:19:36 > 0:19:39an individual basis and you have to make strategic decisions about
0:19:39 > 0:19:45cutting off an entire area. The point I am making when it comes to
0:19:45 > 0:19:48local councils as I am not sure people are prepared to make those
0:19:48 > 0:19:54decisions.If they watch what who were able to do with Ebola when we
0:19:54 > 0:19:58were able to isolate certain areas and African countries where the
0:19:58 > 0:20:02countries themselves made those public health decisions and kept as
0:20:02 > 0:20:06many people safe as they possibly could in those local communities,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10there are ways to do this, but we also have to remember that diseases
0:20:10 > 0:20:18spread very quickly and evenly Spanish flu spread all over the
0:20:18 > 0:20:24world before the delay had aeroplanes and we certainly had
0:20:24 > 0:20:30ships that carry the disease. Being prepared this absolutely necessary
0:20:30 > 0:20:34and having the capacity to contain but you can't do the total
0:20:34 > 0:20:37containment because of the world we live in and because diseases now no
0:20:37 > 0:20:44borders. We have to make sure we have treatment protocols and that we
0:20:44 > 0:20:48have well-trained people all over the world. The Hudson Institute
0:20:48 > 0:20:52which is sponsoring this event tomorrow in Miami, this is a
0:20:52 > 0:20:59bipartisan effort in the United States with Senator Lieberman,
0:20:59 > 0:21:08Senator Daschle, Secretary Tom Ridge, it is a bipartisan effort to
0:21:08 > 0:21:14look at a complex issue.Plenty to think about, thank you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:21The government of Bangladesh has said it hopes to repatriate all
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Rohingya Muslims within two years but reservations have been expressed
0:21:24 > 0:21:30about the plans saying any return to Myanmar must be voluntary and said
0:21:30 > 0:21:33the insured. A motorway bridge under construction
0:21:33 > 0:21:37in central Colombia has collapsed killing at least ten workers. Around
0:21:37 > 0:21:41half of the suspension bridge has fallen into the valley below.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47The cause of the collapses under investigation. The UK Government has
0:21:47 > 0:21:50ordered a fast-track investigation into the activity the directors of
0:21:50 > 0:21:57the failed construction firm Carillion. One trade body estimates
0:21:57 > 0:22:02up to 30,000 firms a road money. A lot of anger here surrounding the
0:22:02 > 0:22:07collapse of Carillion. Was a risk-taking in such of bigger
0:22:07 > 0:22:12profits and bonuses? We spoke before about the pay gap in general but now
0:22:12 > 0:22:18the boss of the world's biggest public investing firm Blackrock has
0:22:18 > 0:22:20reacted to this, saying that...
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It is interesting, he is threatening to take action against companies
0:22:39 > 0:22:43that don't do that.That is the interesting thing, he is not just
0:22:43 > 0:22:47saying we should do this but he is saying if you don't we will not
0:22:47 > 0:22:54invest, and he has the lot of punch, investing $6 trillion worldwide. He
0:22:54 > 0:22:58says profit is all well and good and you have to satisfy shareholders but
0:22:58 > 0:23:03also society expects more from corporations and we have talked a
0:23:03 > 0:23:08lot about the dismay there as at corporate greed and the way
0:23:08 > 0:23:10executives are skimming of the Prophet without putting something
0:23:10 > 0:23:14back into communities.But we started the programme with the
0:23:14 > 0:23:20record high stock market and we spoke about tax reform and CEOs
0:23:20 > 0:23:24beholden to shareholders, looking to maximise profit, it'll be
0:23:24 > 0:23:27interesting to see if they respond to this and if he carries the
0:23:27 > 0:23:34threat.The invitation is there for him. Here is something even the
0:23:34 > 0:23:39locals don't see everyday and Australia, eight wallaby evading
0:23:39 > 0:23:44police, a low speed chase in downtown Sydney.The marsupial was
0:23:44 > 0:23:48spotted on the nation's most famous landmark, the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44OK, kudos to the team that put that together, they were genius making
0:24:44 > 0:24:51that look like, James Bond. Who knew that Wallabies had such
0:24:51 > 0:24:57lane discipline! That was our chance to show you a gratuitous animal
0:24:57 > 0:25:01video for this week because there's so much heavy news on this programme
0:25:01 > 0:25:05that we like to give you something to smile about well.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10The Wallaby was eventually captured and vets say he is in good health.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16He was looked after at a zoo in Sydney before being released back
0:25:16 > 0:25:20into the wild. How common is it to get Wallabies
0:25:20 > 0:25:27jumping around Sydney? In Washington we get dearer.We always think that
0:25:27 > 0:25:30kangaroos all over Sydney but apparently that aren't many. He has
0:25:30 > 0:25:36been treated by the vet and I love his story with a hoppy ending. This
0:25:36 > 0:25:44is Beyond 100 Days.Coming up, no more migrant camps like the Calais
0:25:44 > 0:25:47jungle will be allowed says the French president. He promises to
0:25:47 > 0:25:55make Britain help out. And Americans starred gymnasts Simone Biles
0:25:55 > 0:25:59reveals she is one of more than 100 girls sexually abused by the team
0:25:59 > 0:26:04doctor, that is still to come.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Good evening, strap yourselves, a bumpy ride with plenty of whether to
0:26:14 > 0:26:17talk about over the next couple of days and the Met office have issued
0:26:17 > 0:26:23amber weather warning, be prepared for some disruption. We have seen
0:26:23 > 0:26:26snow showers on and off throughout the day in Scotland and Northern
0:26:26 > 0:26:33Ireland. Elsewhere, we have showers, he wintry mix of rain, sleet and
0:26:33 > 0:26:38snow, chiefly wet further south but some of it could settle particularly
0:26:38 > 0:26:42with any elevation. The windy night and showed a firm many others and
0:26:42 > 0:26:47called for the North. That will lead into issues first thing tomorrow
0:26:47 > 0:26:53with the temperature falling below freezing. First thing on Wednesday
0:26:53 > 0:26:57morning a tricky start to the day, frequent showers continuing across
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Scotland and Northern Ireland. A wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow
0:27:02 > 0:27:08with ice and issue first thing, so more story into Northern Ireland and
0:27:08 > 0:27:13north-west England. Further south, fewer showers around, starting off
0:27:13 > 0:27:19cold with some ice in this around, freezing if you have had overnight
0:27:19 > 0:27:24showers, but never the less predominantly Sunni. The difference
0:27:24 > 0:27:27tomorrow is hopefully fewer showers around and further between. Still
0:27:27 > 0:27:30some in the far north-west still causing issues but generally
0:27:30 > 0:27:37speaking a windy day with sunny spells. Factoring in the wind, still
0:27:37 > 0:27:43not feeling warm. Still another lady of low pressure deepening and it
0:27:43 > 0:27:48arrives through Wednesday night and into Thursday and as this low
0:27:48 > 0:27:53pressure develops on the southern flank, the isobars squeezed together
0:27:53 > 0:27:57and we are likely to see severe gales in the early hours and on the
0:27:57 > 0:28:00leading edge still the risk of more significance now in central and
0:28:00 > 0:28:05southern areas. Moving into the early half of Thursday, severe gales
0:28:05 > 0:28:12could be an issue, heavy rain and snow. Clearing away promptly on
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Thursday leaving the baby generally as a of sunny spells and a few
0:28:15 > 0:28:21scattered showers chiefly along the west facing coast, low pressure
0:28:21 > 0:28:27never too far away into the early half of the weekend keeping showers.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Things quieting down but staying cold.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16This is Beyond 100 Days. The top stories...
0:30:16 > 0:30:21The US stock market hits a record high fuelled by strong corporate
0:30:21 > 0:30:25earnings and high invested confidence. A California couple have
0:30:25 > 0:30:28been arrested after police found their 13 children had been held
0:30:28 > 0:30:31captive in the family home. A short while ago please gave more
0:30:31 > 0:30:37details.A 17-year-old girl called 911 from a deactivated cell phone
0:30:37 > 0:30:40and reported that her siblings were being held against their will and
0:30:40 > 0:30:46some were chained.Coming up... In Calais, ahead of talks with Theresa
0:30:46 > 0:30:51May, President Macron calls for Britain to take more migrants. The
0:30:51 > 0:30:55US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles says that she was sexually abused by
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Larry Nassar, the US team doctor. Send us your thoughts. Use the
0:30:59 > 0:31:06hashtag.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16Sanctions pressure must be maintained on Pyongyang to force it
0:31:16 > 0:31:22abandon their weapons programme, say nations meeting about North Korea in
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Vancouver. Foreign ministers are discussing
0:31:23 > 0:31:28ways to keep pressure on North Korea as he grows over the country's
0:31:28 > 0:31:31nuclear ambitions but Russia and China have not been invited.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Boris Johnson told the meeting that he believes the crisis is getting
0:31:35 > 0:31:42worse...We have had 20 tests in the last year, 20 missiles, two of which
0:31:42 > 0:31:49flew over Japan. One testing of a nuclear device. Everybody can see
0:31:49 > 0:31:56that this isn't only proliferation within the region but also a
0:31:56 > 0:32:03transmission of nuclear weaponry to non-state actors, to terrorist
0:32:03 > 0:32:08groups, with unthinkable consequences for the world.Barbara
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Platt usher is at the meeting and joins us now. Barbara, China and
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Russia are not there at the meeting, how successful or meaningful can it
0:32:17 > 0:32:27ever be?I think without China here, they cannot agree on anything
0:32:27 > 0:32:30substantive because China is key to anything that changes on North
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Korea. As we know, it is this biggest ally and has trade with
0:32:36 > 0:32:42North Korea but people here are at pains to show that they were not
0:32:42 > 0:32:48deliberately excluded but they are not part of this club. They send aid
0:32:48 > 0:32:54to the UN war effort in the 1950s, then fighting alongside North Korea
0:32:54 > 0:33:02at the time, they have not been invited the Rex Tillerson, the
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Secretary of State, said that it would take a nuclear threat from
0:33:05 > 0:33:09North Korea to have enemies like us standing shoulder to shoulder
0:33:09 > 0:33:13against the threat. At the Chinese have not been very impressed,
0:33:13 > 0:33:19they've been rather annoyed. They said, what can it achieve and why
0:33:19 > 0:33:23haven't we been invited? Why are you having the meeting anyway?Other
0:33:23 > 0:33:27nations have less experience than others when it comes to enforcing
0:33:27 > 0:33:30sanctions. Part of the focus will be on fully implementing what has been
0:33:30 > 0:33:39passed?That is true, the point of the meeting was looking at how to
0:33:39 > 0:33:43prevent North Korea from evading the sanctions. The meeting was called
0:33:43 > 0:33:47after the last missile test when people were anxious on what was
0:33:47 > 0:33:53going on. Since then, this talk ahead of the Olympics between them
0:33:53 > 0:33:58and Korea, the climate has eased. In the meeting we were looking to see
0:33:58 > 0:34:02whether it would change the tone here but it hasn't. The response has
0:34:02 > 0:34:05been very much, we believe that strong pressure needs to be put on
0:34:05 > 0:34:11and we will not allow North Korea to put a wedge into our resolve. The
0:34:11 > 0:34:15way that we are going to do this, according to those who were
0:34:15 > 0:34:18speaking, is that we need to make sure that the sanctions were
0:34:18 > 0:34:25enforced and a way of doing that was trying to stop the sanctions, there
0:34:25 > 0:34:30have been ship to ship transfers of fuel which have been banned from
0:34:30 > 0:34:33North Korea, photographs have been shown in the last few months. There
0:34:33 > 0:34:38are talks about ways they could increase the ability to stop and
0:34:38 > 0:34:46search ships that may be ships. Barbara Plett Usher, thank you.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Emmanuel Macron has been in Calais today to ask the UK to increase
0:34:50 > 0:34:54funding for security and the development of the city. The
0:34:54 > 0:34:58President's high-profile trip comes two days before he is due to meet
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Theresa May. The 2003 agreement between Britain and France is at
0:35:02 > 0:35:07stake which effectively moved the UK border onto French territory. Our
0:35:07 > 0:35:10correspondent Lucy Williamson reports now from Calais.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Once the UK was a magnet for Juma, today it was the French President.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15After months of camping around Calais, the Sudanese migrant
0:35:15 > 0:35:17has decided to apply for asylum in France.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Mr Macron's government has promised a quicker welcome
0:35:19 > 0:35:21for those it accepts, a quicker rejection
0:35:21 > 0:35:26for those it refuses.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Juma is still waiting for his answer.
0:35:28 > 0:35:38So you are our president, not in front of you, but in my heart.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41But hundreds of migrants around Calais are avoiding asylum centres
0:35:41 > 0:35:44like this in a bid to reach the UK illegally, and Mr Macron wants more
0:35:44 > 0:35:49help from Theresa May in dealing with them.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52TRANSLATION:We need to better manage the issue of isolated minors,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54reinforce police co-operation in Calais, with the departure
0:35:54 > 0:35:56and transit countries and unblock funds for the Calais region.
0:35:56 > 0:36:06I will raise these points with our British friends in 48-hours.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Despite big British investments in security, migrants continue
0:36:08 > 0:36:11to test border defences.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14This petrol station, its perimeter fence broken,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17a new favourite for those trying to board lorries bound for the UK.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22We caught this man squeezing through before being caught
0:36:22 > 0:36:28by a police patrol.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Mr Macron is due to talk to the Prime Minister on Thursday
0:36:31 > 0:36:33about how to improve the joint management of the border here.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37France would like Britain to take more migrants from Calais and to pay
0:36:37 > 0:36:44more money towards security and border checks.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Mr Macron has vowed to prevent another jungle taking root.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Police routinely demolish the small camps that cling on,
0:36:49 > 0:36:55but aid workers say that some here, including families, have reached
0:36:55 > 0:36:57the UK in the past few months.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Discomfort no match for that renewal of hope.
0:36:59 > 0:37:08Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Calais.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13So, I was wondering whether you were surprised by Emmanuel Macron's tough
0:37:13 > 0:37:17tone on immigration, he has received a lot of pushback in the French
0:37:17 > 0:37:21press. Some people say that he risks losing his position as a humanist
0:37:21 > 0:37:27and I wonder why you think he has adopted this strategy?His leverage
0:37:27 > 0:37:32is a simple answer. In the next round of Brexit talks, I'm sure he
0:37:32 > 0:37:36would be playing up that agreement as well as talking about Brexit. You
0:37:36 > 0:37:43scratch my back, I will scratch yours. Britain but a lot of money
0:37:43 > 0:37:46in, 40 million euros into building up those defences and it is having
0:37:46 > 0:37:50an effect. The concerns are people have spread from Calais to other
0:37:50 > 0:37:57parts of the coast. A lot of migrants are there, about 1000 from
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Ethiopia. The fear has always been
0:38:00 > 0:38:05on the British side, that if they collapsed they would move the border
0:38:05 > 0:38:10from Dover to Calais and that would create chaos on the border. I do not
0:38:10 > 0:38:15think it would happen that he will want more from the British side.
0:38:15 > 0:38:24American gymnast Simone Biles one -- won four gold medals and became a
0:38:24 > 0:38:29hero. She is also a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of the US team
0:38:29 > 0:38:33doctor Larry Nassar. He is accused of abusing more than 100 girls, he
0:38:33 > 0:38:36was jailed for 60 years for possessing images of child sexual
0:38:36 > 0:38:43abuse. Today is the first day of the hearing into the assault of the
0:38:43 > 0:38:49athletes. Sports correspondent Natalie Perks was watching.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51COMMENTATOR:The final move of her Olympic championships.
0:38:51 > 0:39:01Full twisting doubleback...
0:39:02 > 0:39:04But last night, Simone Biles, the self-proclaimed happy,
0:39:04 > 0:39:05giggly and energetic
0:39:05 > 0:39:06girl made international
0:39:06 > 0:39:16headlines as she admitted to feeling broken.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Physician Larry Nassar was part of the US gymnastics programme
0:39:23 > 0:39:24from the '80s to 2015.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28He is accused of sexually abusing more than 130 women under the guise
0:39:28 > 0:39:30of medical treatment and is serving 60 years in jail for possessing
0:39:30 > 0:39:32images of child sexual abuse.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35In a lengthy statement last night, Biles said it had been impossibly
0:39:35 > 0:39:37difficult to relive her experience, but says she's not afraid
0:39:37 > 0:39:38to tell her story any more.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41"I love this sport too much and I have never been
0:39:41 > 0:39:42a quitter," she said.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45"I won't let one man and the others that enabled him
0:39:45 > 0:39:49to steal my love and joy."
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Some of her Biles' Olympic team-mates also say they were abused
0:39:51 > 0:39:52by Nassar, including Aly Raisman.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55She has accused authorities of a cover-up and believes more
0:39:55 > 0:39:57should have been done to protect the girls in his care.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00What did USA gymnastics do and Larry Nassar do
0:40:00 > 0:40:05manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07USA Gymnastics said it was "absolutely heartbroken,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09sorry and angry that any of our athletes had been
0:40:09 > 0:40:14harmed by the horrific acts of Larry Nasser."
0:40:14 > 0:40:20It said its support for Biles and others is unwavering.
0:40:20 > 0:40:29She used the hashtag "Me too". They hashtag been used to raise
0:40:29 > 0:40:31awareness of sexual harassment and abuse.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Used to making the spectacular look effortless and disclosing the
0:40:34 > 0:40:39so-called special treatment inflicted on her has been a painful
0:40:39 > 0:40:41process but by witnessing the courage of other survivors, she
0:40:41 > 0:40:44finally feels able to share her story.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50Natalie Pirks, BBC News. She said it was difficult to speak about this
0:40:50 > 0:40:54and she thought was she somehow to blame? Could she have stopped this?
0:40:54 > 0:41:01Was she being naive? Sexual abuse stories leave a lingering feeling
0:41:01 > 0:41:05with the people who have been abused, that somehow they were at
0:41:05 > 0:41:09fault. Speaking out could be a powerful moment for her. Then at
0:41:09 > 0:41:13some point this week we get the sentencing of the Doctor at the
0:41:13 > 0:41:17centre of this.She will not be defined by that, her story is
0:41:17 > 0:41:21defined by what she did at the Olympics and more, which is how it
0:41:21 > 0:41:26should be.Four gold medals, amazing. The European Council
0:41:26 > 0:41:30president Donald Tusk has suggested the UK would be welcome to stay in
0:41:30 > 0:41:34the EU if it changed its mind on Brexit. You may recall last week
0:41:34 > 0:41:38former Ukip leader Nigel Farage floated the idea of a second
0:41:38 > 0:41:48referendum himself. Donald Tusk said in the European Parliament that
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Britain's hearts are open and they could change their mind on Brexit
0:41:50 > 0:41:53even at a late stage and return to the family of the EU...If the UK
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Government sticks to its decision to leave, Brexit would become a reality
0:41:57 > 0:42:03with all of its negative consequences in March of next year.
0:42:03 > 0:42:09Unless there is a change of heart among our British friends, wasn't it
0:42:09 > 0:42:15David Davis himself who said "If a democracy cannot change its mind, it
0:42:15 > 0:42:23ceases to be a democracy"? We hear on the continent haven't had a
0:42:23 > 0:42:30change of heart. Our hearts are still open.It is quite emotive, the
0:42:30 > 0:42:35Brexiteers have had fun with that, like a boyfriend you cannot get rid
0:42:35 > 0:42:40of, last year he was evoking John Lennon, imagine there was no Brexit?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43They've been having fun with it. Michael Gove was questioned on it
0:42:43 > 0:42:49this evening and he said that he was listening to their close European
0:42:49 > 0:42:54partners but they also listened to the 17 million people who voted for
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Brexit.I like the idea that it is like a bad marriage! It feels like
0:42:58 > 0:43:05it's been that way for a long time! Maybe they just need therapy! Get
0:43:05 > 0:43:15them to talk it all out, have them on the programme!It is you!Yes!
0:43:15 > 0:43:20Serbia has condemned the killing of a prominent Kosovo Serb politician,
0:43:20 > 0:43:25describing it as an attack on all Serbs. He was shot dead outside of
0:43:25 > 0:43:31his office in the north of the country. Where a lot of the
0:43:31 > 0:43:37population is largely ethnic Serb. President Trump's former campaign
0:43:37 > 0:43:41manager Paul Manafort's trial has been delayed. He was indicted for
0:43:41 > 0:43:45money laundering and tax fraud as part of the probe into the Russian
0:43:45 > 0:43:53interference into the US residential election. UK supermarket chain
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Iceland say they will eliminate plastic packaging from their stores,
0:43:56 > 0:44:01it will be replaced with paper which can be recycled. I think Christian
0:44:01 > 0:44:06should make sure that I get the tricky pronunciations. Thank you.!
0:44:06 > 0:44:12This is Beyond 100 Days, coming up... What these two jars of sweets
0:44:12 > 0:44:23tell us about Donald Trump's favourite treats... From Manchester
0:44:23 > 0:44:27to Bradford, it is a journey of less than 40 miles but even on the
0:44:27 > 0:44:31fastest trains it takes nearly an hour to get there. I have done it!
0:44:31 > 0:44:35Today a plan to modernise transport links in the North of England over
0:44:35 > 0:44:42the next 30 years was unveiled. Danny Savage had a look...
0:44:42 > 0:44:45The hills of the north - beautiful, but a physical barrier
0:44:45 > 0:44:47between the conurbations either side of the Pennines.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49Travelling by car can be painful, the few routes over the top
0:44:49 > 0:44:50are often congested.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53As for the trains, they're frequent, but relatively slow
0:44:53 > 0:44:54and can be overcrowded.
0:44:54 > 0:44:55Because there's always delays on the train.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01Improving transport links across the Pennines is nothing new.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04This is the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, built more than 200 years ago,
0:45:04 > 0:45:07but instead of taking a few days by water, the hope is, for example,
0:45:07 > 0:45:12getting Leeds to Manchester by train down to about half an hour.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15After years of discussion about improving things,
0:45:15 > 0:45:18there's now a plan the northern cities agree on.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22There used to be a train tunnel between Sheffield and Manchester,
0:45:22 > 0:45:25that's long gone, but a new road tunnel, like this one in Norway,
0:45:25 > 0:45:28is proposed and could halve the current journey
0:45:28 > 0:45:31between the cities.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33A new TransPennine railway line will link Leeds
0:45:33 > 0:45:35and Manchester via Bradford.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38I think we also need to make sure that we cover Hull, Sheffield,
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Newcastle and Manchester of course, so all our major city regions.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43This is vitally important for the north.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48But remember, this is a 30 year plan and it's still only
0:45:49 > 0:45:53at the ideas stage.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Former Transport Secretary, John Prescott, walked
0:45:55 > 0:45:58out of the launch in Hull today unconvinced.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01It'll have no powers.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03It can talk to the Treasury along with the strategic bodies,
0:46:03 > 0:46:05but it can't make a decision.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06It doesn't get any money.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09It's a bloody fraud.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12And it's the Government that will have to stump up the money
0:46:12 > 0:46:14for these ambitious projects to upgrade the north which,
0:46:14 > 0:46:17at the moment, feels left behind when it comes to transport.
0:46:17 > 0:46:27Danny Savage, BBC News, Leeds.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35You are watching Beyond 100 Days. Tech giants like Google and Facebook
0:46:35 > 0:46:40are fond of telling us that they want to connect an interconnected
0:46:40 > 0:46:44utopia. Our next guest argues they need a history lesson starting with
0:46:44 > 0:46:48the political events of 2016 when the networks were exploited and
0:46:48 > 0:46:53manipulated in ways that have pulled their creators. In his new book the
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Square and the Tower, bestselling author Niall Ferguson says that a
0:46:57 > 0:47:04world run by networks is an anarchy. The way to avoid chaos is for the UN
0:47:04 > 0:47:09Security Council to take back control. You talk about networked
0:47:09 > 0:47:13ages, the first was in 1500 with the invention of the printing press and
0:47:13 > 0:47:19then we jumped forward 500 years to the second network age, what do we
0:47:19 > 0:47:23mean by that?Throughout most of history, hierarchal structures like
0:47:23 > 0:47:27states have been dominant, and social networks have been relatively
0:47:27 > 0:47:34weak. We called the book the Square and the Tower because the square of
0:47:34 > 0:47:43power dominates. When technology empowered social networks relative
0:47:43 > 0:47:47to authority, we mentioned the age of the printing press, enabling
0:47:47 > 0:47:54things like the Reformation and the Enlightenment to happen. In our own
0:47:54 > 0:47:59age, emanating from silicon valley, it has become possible for giant
0:47:59 > 0:48:05social networks, like Facebook for example, to exert enormous powers
0:48:05 > 0:48:08relative to established governments. You talk about a constant tug-of-war
0:48:08 > 0:48:15in history between networks or hierarchies, let's call them the
0:48:15 > 0:48:20masses. In the age of Facebook and Twitter, how does it actually work?
0:48:20 > 0:48:26How are the masses taking power from the hierarchies?It isn't so much
0:48:26 > 0:48:32the masses. That seems like language from another era, the era of class
0:48:32 > 0:48:37conflict when the working class were going to sweep to power but what is
0:48:37 > 0:48:43characteristic of these giant social networks is the way in which they
0:48:43 > 0:48:48tend to be polarised. Liberals retweeting liberals and
0:48:48 > 0:48:50conservatives retweeting conservatives. To speak of the
0:48:50 > 0:48:55masses isn't quite right but what is striking is the extent to which the
0:48:55 > 0:48:59advent of giant online social networks has changed the political
0:48:59 > 0:49:06game in all democracies. We saw that not only in the US in 2016 but also
0:49:06 > 0:49:12the UK. During the referendum.If networks can be, I'm not sure of the
0:49:12 > 0:49:19phraseology, corrupted, by individual power groups, are we
0:49:19 > 0:49:24better off if traditional hierarchies exert influence over
0:49:24 > 0:49:31those networks?That would be a bit too facile, we cannot turn back the
0:49:31 > 0:49:35clock and make Facebook and Google go away...But they are trying to
0:49:35 > 0:49:40regulate them, would that be a form of, not making them go away, but
0:49:40 > 0:49:45controlling them?I think there needs to be greater regulation, it
0:49:45 > 0:49:49is an anomalous state of affairs that Facebook is now the biggest
0:49:49 > 0:49:55publisher of content in history and yet under US regulations it isn't
0:49:55 > 0:50:00treated as a content publisher. There's no liability for things that
0:50:00 > 0:50:05are on the platform. In that sense it's a position of great advantage
0:50:05 > 0:50:09compared with traditional content publishers.We have talked about the
0:50:09 > 0:50:14square through history, in the modern day, what is the tower in the
0:50:14 > 0:50:19title of your book?I talked about Trump Tower, making the point that
0:50:19 > 0:50:24no matter how powerful a social network May has both -- may have
0:50:24 > 0:50:27become, power is invested in governance. You can see that in
0:50:27 > 0:50:31China, I've come back from a trip to Beijing and it's very interesting
0:50:31 > 0:50:36how the Chinese government can affect the Communist party and has
0:50:36 > 0:50:42affected technology companies there like Eilidh Barbour, 10 cents, as
0:50:42 > 0:50:50opposed to Fine, Facebook, Netflix and Google, it is clear that
0:50:50 > 0:50:54technology companies had to play second fiddle to the party, if
0:50:54 > 0:50:59necessary giving up data on citizens if they have too. It's a different
0:50:59 > 0:51:04state of affairs to what we see in the US. There is minimal regulation
0:51:04 > 0:51:08there. Europe is between the two, Europe is trying to regulate tech
0:51:08 > 0:51:14companies. They are mostly American but to me it seems to be an
0:51:14 > 0:51:17unresolved problem, in all democracies. How do we content with
0:51:17 > 0:51:22the fact that the public's view has been completely transformed and we
0:51:22 > 0:51:26are operating with regulations created for a public sphere
0:51:26 > 0:51:29dominated by televisions and newspapers? That has gone and I
0:51:29 > 0:51:33don't think people have finally got their heads around it.Niall
0:51:33 > 0:51:41Ferguson, thank you for joining me. There have always been networks and
0:51:41 > 0:51:45there is a science to them and who controls them. If you wanted to look
0:51:45 > 0:51:52at this programme, you would have the producers and the director, and
0:51:52 > 0:51:57the presenters. If you looked really closely, you would see at the help
0:51:57 > 0:52:03of the network the real power, is that right? The power structure at
0:52:03 > 0:52:09the centre of the network? The person who controls it all? Is that
0:52:09 > 0:52:13what he was saying?Absolutely! He didn't actually say my name but he
0:52:13 > 0:52:18was about to say it. The person he is the main hierarchy on this
0:52:18 > 0:52:23programme. Can I just say, if you ever want to say that I am facile,
0:52:23 > 0:52:29as Professor Ferguson did, I let him get away with it! I found it quite
0:52:29 > 0:52:33amusing. But I would put my fist through the screen and punch you on
0:52:33 > 0:52:44the nose!I will go back and watch the unedited version!Yes, OK! The
0:52:44 > 0:52:48White House position will go into more detail today on the President's
0:52:48 > 0:52:52health check. The White House press secretary Sara Sanders said that
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Doctor Ruaridh Jackson would give a detailed readout and answer
0:52:55 > 0:53:04questions at today's Presque -- press reading.He does not smoke or
0:53:04 > 0:53:09drink but he is partial to fast food and a Diet Coke but his doctor has
0:53:09 > 0:53:13claimed he could be the healthiest person ever to be elected to the
0:53:13 > 0:53:18presidency... What we have learned today is it isn't only Diet Coke and
0:53:18 > 0:53:26McDonald's, but also... Starbursts! How do we know that the president
0:53:26 > 0:53:32likes them? The majority leader, Kevin McCarthy, in the house, he was
0:53:32 > 0:53:36on Air Force One and he noticed when the president went for the sweetie
0:53:36 > 0:53:42jar, he started picking out the pink and the red ones. He only likes pink
0:53:42 > 0:53:48and red ones! More power to Mr McCarthy. If you look at the
0:53:48 > 0:53:53pictures from Mar-a-Lago at the weekend, who has the stardust
0:53:53 > 0:53:57sprinkled? Mr McCarthy! He is right next to the president. It obviously
0:53:57 > 0:54:07works. This is how to get to his heart. It is also one of my five!My
0:54:07 > 0:54:11favourite is clearly the Greenlands, I'm hoping yours aren't. We would
0:54:11 > 0:54:17have to fight over them and that would be boring -- the green ones.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Pink and red is the colour of the day, which is why you are wearing it
0:54:21 > 0:54:31today! We spent the budget of the programme, the annual budget, on
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Starbursts today. Our producer has picked out one of the pink and red
0:54:33 > 0:54:39ones. But he did send a jar with his name on it to the president and
0:54:39 > 0:54:44apparently be president smiled, he liked it, and not!And some
0:54:44 > 0:54:53Republicans have suggested that he has become too cosy... He has
0:54:53 > 0:55:03referred to his own Gemma Fabia, -- phobia of germs, in context to the
0:55:03 > 0:55:08Christopher Steele dossier, he said that would never happen to him, he
0:55:08 > 0:55:13is afraid of germs. But what has been said on health and the issue of
0:55:13 > 0:55:17being slightly obsessive. He says that exercise is a disaster, his
0:55:17 > 0:55:24friends work out a lot.I agree with you!And they need hip replacements
0:55:24 > 0:55:29and knee replacements. He said that shaking hands is barbaric and more
0:55:29 > 0:55:33people do it in civilised societies and we shouldn't do it. He washes
0:55:33 > 0:55:38his hands compulsively and he said that he is "A clean hands freak".
0:55:38 > 0:55:42What is interesting is the quirks on that side of being totally
0:55:42 > 0:55:46compulsive and yet eating a terrible diet! And not exercising! How does
0:55:46 > 0:55:52he stay, whatever the doctor said, one of the healthiest people ever to
0:55:52 > 0:55:57be elected to the American presidency on that kind of diet?
0:55:57 > 0:56:00Well, it clearly works. He is the healthiest president
