22/01/2018 Beyond 100 Days

You're watching Beyond 100 Days.

The US government will reopen

tonight after a three-day shutdown.

Democrats agree to give Republicans

the votes to get things moving

in return for discussion

of a key immigration issue.

But the deal only lasts a fortnight,

which means we could be back

in a shutdown again next month.

It's an odd way to govern.

America will move its embassy

We're in Davos, where the snow

is falling, and debate is shifting

to how the world might better share

the wealth that is created.

#Beyond100Days

Hello and welcome -

I'm Katty Kay in Washington,

and Christian Fraser is in London.

Trust is a scarce commodity

in politics these days.

But today Democrats decided to trust

Republicans and give them enough

votes to reopen the US government.

This means that after three days

of shutdown, federal workers will go

back to work tomorrow.

In return for those votes,

Democrats won a promise

from their Republican colleagues

to address a key immigration issue.

Today's deal is not popular

with the left of the Democratic

party which feels its leadership

caved too soon.

And just a brief time ago,

I spoke with Democratic

Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Senator, you voted to reopen the

American government, keep it up and

running, why?

For a couple of

reasons, number one I always wanted

to keep the government up and

running. The question was under what

conditions and what circumstances

and we now have a commitment from

the Republicans, not only to address

a lot of the key budget issues, like

funding for community centres,

tackling the opioid epidemic, but a

guarantee of a vote a little after

three weeks from now on a bipartisan

deal to deal with the dreamers, and

that is something the Republicans

had refused to do. They had refused

to allow the Moxey to work. With it

we have a strong bipartisan majority

to do that, IS we think we have.

That is an important step.

Right,

but even if your Republican

colleagues in the Senate have agreed

to address the issue of Dakar

commute have no agreement to get the

deal you want on protecting those

young immigrants and Republicans of

the house may say we're not going to

accept this.

Two things, we know in

the Senate there is already strong

bipartisan support for the grand

Durbin bill. We are about 57

senators, we need to pick up a few

more, so we think we are in a good

position here. You're right, in the

house there are absolutely no

guarantees. On the other hand, we

also know there are a majority of

members in the house, Republicans

and Democrats, who support a

bipartisan approach to DACA. And so

we need to create some are meant,

and this is important momentum.

You

come from Maryland, a pretty

progressive state, and you know I'm

sure what the base of your party is

saying about this decision of yours,

that once again Republicans are

playing hardball, Democrats are

playing softball, and the Democratic

leadership has caved.

Well, I don't

see it that way at all. What I see

is Republicans in the Senate being

forced to make a promise, a

commitment, that they never would

have made otherwise, and the

alternative would have been allowing

the government to be shut down for

weeks and weeks and weeks, and the

idea that this has Republicans would

wake up one day and said they would

put the DACA reform bill into a

budget plan in my view was not

realistic. So people's negotiating

leverage would have declined over

those weeks as the government was

shut down, so my view is take a

commitment you would not have

gotten, except for the

circumstances...

It just sounds like

the Democrats don't have much power.

We are in the minority party in the

house and the Senate, of course we

don't control the White House, and

so my view is that we played the

best hand we could, both to get

commitments on the budget issues, to

make sure we fund those priorities

we talked about, kids health and

community centres, but also to get a

commitment to have a vote on an

issue that Republicans wanted to

ignore. And so now we have a

commitment to allow the Senate to

work it's well, add the girl to have

to work the world to get a

bipartisan DACA bill passed.

Let's bring in former advisor

to George W Bush and political

analyst Ron Christie,

who joins us now from New York.

It seems to me that from over here

the Democrats tied spending to

immigration, and the Republicans ran

a pretty smart and discipline

strategy of saying here is Chuck

Schumer and his supporters, in

effect, shutting down the government

in favour of illegal in the women's.

Good evening to you, Christian. That

is exactly what has happened here.

If you go back to 2013, the last

time we had a government shutdown,

the Democrat Schumer said it was an

act of industry -- and active idiocy

to shut down the government and

tight immigration. These polls

indicated a majority of the American

people wanted the government open,

rather than just shut it down and to

DACA, and the two and most

importantly perhaps, what impact of

this have on our military readiness

in this children's health programmes

and ceremony of the goods and

services the government provides? So

to say faith, rather than -- save

face, they got a three-week bill to

fund the government are now we have

reached a bring and ship point

because now we only go in till

February eight, and the house

majority does not like the Senate

Compper Mize on immigration.

So we

can all breathe easy, the American

government is back up and running

again, you kind of thing that might

be the minimum the American

government will be ever to do, keep

its doors open for business, but

what happens in two or three weeks'

time? We could be back here again,

can we, because I don't see how this

gets resolved in two weeks?

I think

we will be back in the same spot. As

I just said the Christian, the grand

Durbin Bill is so wildly unpopular

and has Senate, they believe it

still maintains a provision called

chain migration, in other words if

you are here illegally you will be

to bring not only your parents but

extended family members where they

can have a path citizenship. That is

not popular in the house, it is very

popular in the Senate, and I don't

see how we get a compromise between

the Senate language on DACA and what

the house position is by eight to

February, we could very well be

sitting in the same spot three weeks

from now asking these very difficult

questions of how do we continue to

keep the United States government

open and operating.

Thank you.

Great, we could be here again (!)

With me now is the Republican

pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson.

You spend your life Parling

Republican parties and voters, what

do voters in the country make of

what has just happened in

Washington?

The irony is that

something like DACA, providing some

legal protection to children, is

quite popular even among Republican

voters full stop huge majorities of

Republicans think we don't

necessarily want amnesty for

everyone, for these folks who came

in through no port of their own, let

IS do something about them. But

Republican leaders believe they are

in a strong position to get other

popular things, in terms of

immigration, whether it is increased

border security, shifting to a more

skills -based immigration system,

these are things that some

immigration hardliners in the White

House are big fans of, and Democrats

believe that because of the changing

demographics of America, publicans

have backed themselves into an

unpopular hardline view. But the

tactic they have taken to try to

make progress, shutting down the

government, is in and of itself

highly unpopular. So trying to

believe what they is a popular with

a unpopular means I think has worked

out badly for them, which is why

they have caved already after just a

couple of days.

So both sides seem

to think this could work for them. I

will paraphrase. Let IS through this

forward to the mid-term elections,

the Republicans face critical

elections in November, does this

make any difference, or is the news

world moving at such a hyperkinetic

pace that by November people would

think, shutdown, what shutdown?

I do

believe either side gets to claim a

victory from today's events that

will in any way shape the events of

coming November. There are in mind

the last time the government

shutdown, the government shutdown,

Republicans quote unquote lost that

shutdown, they wanted to defund

Obamacare, it didn't work, the

government was closed for a long

time, and yet a year later

Republicans did quite well in those

mid-term elections. This is the sort

of thing especially if the shutdown

is short, if there is not real

significantly impact that people

feel, I don't think it will affect

many people's votes.

How does the

president come out of this, because

it seems to be that he confused both

the Democrats and the Republicans,

he asked the Democrats to come up

with a bipartisan deal, which they

did, and he turned his back on it,

and the Republican said... Isn't it

his fault, really?

I think this puts

the president in a tough spot where

he needs to be very clear about what

he wants on immigration. He has had

public statements that in some ways

contradict one another. He says he

wants to do something about the

dreamers, get some kind of a DACA

fix. The understand that even within

his own party, there is a majority

in favour of it, but at the same

time he has many advisers that

believe strongly that we need to do

a wholesale reform of our

immigration system that includes

changing things like the chain

migration, and those are advisers

who are quite influential, and

understand that trumped himself has

been an immigration hardliners since

long before he was in the White

House. So there are two sides to

President Trump in this issue. He

needs to decide which one wants to

come to the negotiating table in

order for a deal to really get done.

This is an issue, that America,

along with many other countries in

the West, have been wrestling with

the years and years and years. What

is the realistic chance it is an

issue that the country can resolve

in a way that people will actually

vote on and pass?

I think what it is

going to require is that political

leaders in Washington listen to

majorities of voters, and too often

on these issues both parties are

very captive to very loud extreme

pieces of their base. On the

Republican side for instance, the

vast majority want to do something

about the dreamers, but there are

some that think we can't do this

because it is amnesty and if you

going to do it you have to get a lot

out of Democrats for it. On the

other hand there are folks in the

Democratic party that opposed even

basic common-sense border security

measures because they are concerned

about their left flank. So as long

as those bases are driving things it

is very hard to see a good deal

getting done.

Thank you very much

coming in. Dreamers aside,

immigration reform aside, I'm just

wondering, how does look from your

point of view, from the other side

of the Atlantic, when the American

government can't even keep itself

open?

It looks pretty chaotic, to be

honest, because you have the world's

biggest economy that can't keep the

government open. They are kicking

the can down the road every three

weeks, how can you profess to lead

the world of you can't even keep

government open? We will talk later

in the programme about trust.

Clearly they have had a discussion

about how they can get bipartisan

deals through within Congress but

also there is a fundamental lack of

trust, it seems to me, within the

United States the government as a

whole, and this is not going to do

them any favours at all, is it?

I

would even argue that for other

countries trying to deal with the

United States, it is also the

world's biggest military, and this

makes it difficult when you lurch

like this from week to week not

knowing if the government will be

open. As Ron said, we could be back

here soon.

Keeps us in business,

though.

On a visit to Israel the US

Vice President has announced

that the US embassy will move

from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

by the end of 2019.

Previously the White House had said

it would take several years

to complete the move.

The decision earned

the Vice President loud

applause in the Knesset,

Arab Israeli's walked out

at the beginning of his speech.

Mr Pence said President Trump's

decision to move the embassy

righted a 70 year wrong.

He also urged Palestinian leaders

to return to negotiations.

The Trump administration believes

it can accomplish what previous

presidents have failed to do.

Let's hear from the

Vice President now.

A warm welcome from one side in a

contested city. Mike Pence met Prime

Minister Netanyahu complete with an

Israeli honour guard. The vice

president was a driving force in

Donald Trump 's Macon Trev

recognition of Jerusalem as the

capital of Israel, and in response,

praise from Israel's leadership,

which sees the city as its eternal,

undivided capital.

I welcome all of

them to Israel's capital, Jerusalem.

This is the first time I've been

standing and we can say those three

words, Israel's capital, Jerusalem.

In making this historic announcement

on December six, President Trump did

so convinced that by recognising

Israel's capital, Jerusalem, that we

would create a opportunity to move

on.

But the Jerusalem move saw Mr p

shunned by Arab MPs, calling him the

messenger from Donald Trump, a

political pyromaniac. Meanwhile, the

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

has been urging the EU to recognise

the state of Palestine. There have

been frequent clashes since

America's decision, which

Palestinians say disqualifies the US

as a peace broker. They want East

Jerusalem as their capital. Mike

Pence's visit to the region has

brought renewed focus on his own

faith. He is an evangelical

Christian, among many Americans who

support for Israel is expressed in

religious as well as political

terms. Some believe in a second

coming of Christ, and think the

Bible suggests Jewish sovereignty

over Jerusalem first. We joined an

evangelical tour of the city.

Israel

has a right to be here, this is

God's chosen spot for the Hebrew

people. It is just a joy to be able

to be here.

It is the rock, it is

what the Bible is based off of it,

and they are God's chosen people.

But Palestinian Christian church

leaders say it threatens the state

of the holy land. Followers flocked

recently for a yearly baptism

ceremony where it is believed Christ

was baptised on the banks of the

river Jordan. The American vice

president had wanted to use his trip

to doc about protecting Christians

in the Middle East, but the

Jerusalem decision, while delighting

his evangelical supporters at home,

now sees him shunned by church

leaders in the very birthplace of

Christianity. Mike Pence's visit

will still address his belief in his

boss's ultimate deal between

Israelis and Palestinians, but for

those opposed to the US strategy,

there is unlikely to be a moment of

revelation. Tom Bateman, BBC News,

Jerusalem. Mahmoud Abbas was in

Brussels while Mr pence was in

Jerusalem, talking to European

foreign ministers about a two state

solution.

All of this focus on the

President's comments about Africa

the other way, Mike Pence was forced

to answer questions today about an

alleged affair that President is

said to have had 12 years ago with a

pawn star.

Yes, last week the Wall

Street Journal reported Mr Trump is

my personal lawyer Michael Coen had

set up a shell company some years

ago in Delaware, and a pseudonym to

pay hush money to Stormy Daniels,

who you can see here, after the

story was linked to a gossip

magazine. Mr pence said it was

baseless.

Missed Daniels has been

taking under a tour, make America

horny again.

LAUGHTER

Part of me can't believe that we're

actually talking about somebody

called Stormy Daniels and her horny

tour of America, Butler, look,

here's the thing about this story,

if this had been a story that had

emerged under the presidency of

Barack Obama, or George W Bush for

that matter, it would have been

front-page news for weeks and weeks.

That would potentially have derailed

their presidency. This story

emerges, and Mike Pence has said the

allegations are just that,

allegations only and the President's

lawyer has said they are baseless,

but the story emerges and everybody

says, oh, this is another story

about Donald Trump and his

relationships with a string of

women. It is remarkable how he has

changed the perception of normal for

the presidency.

He did say he could

shoot anybody on fifth Ave and they

would still elect him, and perhaps

this is evidence that there is

nothing that touches him, not for

his base anyway.

We will not be

going on that tour by the way, and

following Stormy Daniels.

The executive leadership of USA

Gymnastics' board of directors has

resigned The resignations come

in the wake of the sexual abuse

scandal involving former US team

doctor Larry Nassar.

Nassar has admitted ten

criminal counts and could

face life in prison.

Board of directors chairman

Paul Parilla, vice chairman

Jay Binder and treasurer

Bitsy Kelley tendered resignations

effective a day ago.

Turkish forces have shelled

targets in northern Syria,

on the third day of an offensive,

against the Kurdish

militia group, the YPG.

Turkish media say, the army has

advanced at least five kilometres,

into the Afrin region.

But the YPG says, it has

halted the offensive

and destroyed two Turkish tanks.

12 senior members of Ukip's front

bench team have now resigned

in protest at Henry Bolton's refusal

to step down as leader of the party.

Mr Bolton has been under pressure

since it emerged his girlfriend had

made racist comments.

Klindt

The story of global

income inequality is one

we all know by now.

And yet, the figures

are still striking.

Oxfam has the latest

report on the growing gulf

between the super rich and the rest

of the world.

The Charity says some 82%

of money generated last year

went to the richest 1%

of the global population.

It blamed tax evasion, companies'

influence on public policy,

the erosion of workers' rights

for the gap.

But some have queried

the charity's figures.

A year ago Oxfam said eight

individuals have as much

wealth as the poorest half

of the world's population.

Now it has revised that

figure to 61 people.

The report coincides with the start

of the World Economic Forum

in Switzerland where

Christine Lagarde,

the Managing Director

of the IMF, raised the issue

of income inequality.

global growth has been accelerating

since 2016, and all signs point to a

continuous strengthening of that

growth. This year, in 2018, and next

year, in 2019. So this is very

welcome news. Growth, in our view,

needs to be more inclusive. Not only

across country, which has occurred

over the course of the last few

decades, but within countries, and

some areas of focus, in our view,

require training for workers that

are displaced or at risk of being

displaced by new technologies and

globalisation. We need those new

opportunities for workers at risk

we'd need new opportunities for

young people, and we need new

opportunities for women as well. And

then being included safely in the

workplace.

Two things I want to pick up on,

first of all of the number of top

people that China is sending. You

might remember that President Xi did

quite well out of Davos last year,

apparently they are sending at least

111 leaders and representatives,

compared to 84 last year and only 30

about ten years ago, so much more

airport and for them, and India and

Russia are also increasing the size

of their delegations. The World

Economic Forum has carried out a

survey of political leaders, still

the biggest risk, but can you see

for the long, further along, cyber

risks, that has not appeared for

three of four years. 2014 thing was

the last time that cyber risks was

flagged up as a concern for

business, which tells you to things,

one how serious they see the threat

now, but secondly how they have been

behind the curve. The three years

wasn't even mentioned.

It tells me a

third thing, should that that laser

surgery you had guys is very good

because I could not see a word on

that chart.

I am getting

long-sighted now! Anyway...

All

these Chinese are turning up, which

is ingesting because all of the

discussion of the shutdown through

into disarray the question of

whether the president would be

turning up. A whole lot of

congressional members had cancelled

their trip to Davos. Let's see if

the Americans get on board. But the

early indications are that the

president will give a very tough

speech to global leaders in Davos,

in which it was a you may all be

focused on China but America is

back, I'm the leader and things have

new rules, and we will play tough on

issues like trade. It will be

interesting to see what the

president can say.

And good snow

this year. They

can go skiing.

We've all been there.

A quick zip round the supermarket

only to get stuck behind someone

buying enough food to feed a family

of eight for a month.

Cue the long wait.

Nothing wrong with families of

eight, I have a family of six and

usually have about three supermarket

trolleys, but if you shop at Amazon,

in-store, you can get away without

the supermarket Hell.

The internet giant

has opened its first

supermarket in Seattle

- without checkouts.

Amazon Go uses ceiling-mounted

cameras and electronic sensors

to identify customers and track

what items they pick up.

You get billed automatically

when you walk out.

Did you think the shelves as

unexpected item in the bagging area?

I e-mailed somebody I know who is a

senior executive at Amazon, he says

this is an amazing experience, the

app clocks up what you get as you

leave the store and they are very

excited about it, but that, Shenzhen

with a tad about Davos and income

inequality, of course one of the big

issues driving it is automation,

more jobs are lost through

automation than they are through

trade deals. President Trump talks

about China and Nafta but actually

it is automation and robots that

have caused most people to lose

their jobs, and what Amazon have

just done will ring alarm bells I

would imagine for quite a lot of

checkout clerks, who think my job

won't even be needed.

1200 job cuts

at Tesco in customer care for stop

people on the shop floor being

replaced by, robots. There are 900

new jobs, they say, but a lot of

jobs going.

We are not saying Amazon

should not do this, this is

technology, and it must go on, but

those people at Davos need to

address what the impact is on that.

Now Donald Trump has been quick

to dismiss Michael Wolff's book

as a tissue of lies and fake news

but it seems it's being used

as a way to sell even more

copies of Fire and Fury.

Take a look at the window display

of a major book shop

here in London which has used

the Presidents tweet

in a rather creative fashion

in its window display.

More evidence that the President's

reaction to Michael Wolff is doing

wonders for my coffee's bank

balance. That my local store in

suburban London there are plenty of

copies of fire and fury in the

window, the selling like hot cakes.

This is Beyond 100

Days from the BBC.

Coming up for viewers on the BBC

News Channel and BBC World News -

the US Secretary of State says it's

time to pay attention

to "the special relationship"

between America and the UK

And are you switching

off your social media because you're

fed up with fake news?

That's still to come.

Hello, we have seen a real mix of

weather over the past few days and I

think that is how it will continue

through the rest of this week. Of

course, some areas still have quite

a bit of lying snow, but dare I say

it, others, well, it almost feels

like spring, and I think it is that

feeling of spring that will win out

for the next few days, simply

because we have displaced the cold

air to the continent and we are

picking up a much milder flow from

the Atlantic, but that comes at a

price. Increasing amounts of cloud,

a little bit of breeze coming in

from the south western approaches,

and eventually that cloud will

thicken up to give rain across the

western side of the British Isles as

we start the first part of Tuesday.

Not a cold night anywhere, four to 9

degrees or so, so at least much of

this rain, certainly at the lower

levels, will be falling as rain

rather than snow. And there won't be

a massive problem with ice, either.

Here we are, first thing on Tuesday

morning, a really dank, cold start

across western parts of Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Further to the

east, you will have had a pulse of

rain for a time, there it is living

with intent across eastern parts,

following on behind, the cloud

sitting well down on the Welsh

mountains, and across the moors and

the tours of the south-west. Quite a

breeze here as well, so fairly

unpleasant conditions of the morning

commute and the school run. Does it

get any better? All we will do is

just gradually eased those weather

fronts ever further towards the

east. There will be some brightness

in there, and because of the

direction of flow from a relatively

mild correction, quite a lot of

double-figure action going on from

across the British Isles stop one or

two spots might well make it to

around 1415 degrees. As we move

through Tuesday on into Wednesday,

so we bring a succession of weather

fronts and from the Atlantic. Quite

a vigorous area of low pressure.

Notice how we squeeze those isobars.

They will be gales or not severe

gale force winds both near that

weather front, which will be quite

active and squally, following on

behind the wind is not really using

off that much either. Really mild

anywhere near the front and then it

turned a wee bit fresher. By the end

of the week, windy, sunny spells and

showers, turning colder as well.

Just a quick comparison between

Tuesday's temperatures, the mild end

of the spectrum, and then they

rather fall away as we move on

towards Thursday, many losing three

or 4 degrees.

This is Beyond One

Hundred Days, with me

Katty Kay in Washington,

Christian Fraser's in London.

Our top stories, a deal

is reached on the shutdown

The US government reopens,

as the two main parties

strike a deal.

Republicans are happy

but many Democrats aren't.

We are in the minority party in the

house in the Senate we don't control

the White House so my view is that

we played the best and we could.

How

is the special relationship going?

Rex Tillerson is in London

for top level meetings,

just days after his boss snubbed

a visit to open

the new embassy there.

Coming up in the next half hour:

People are losing

trust in social media,

globally a massive 63 per cent say

they struggle to tell

real news from fake news.

And guess who's getting

they're very own star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Let us know your thoughts

by using the hashtag

'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'

More now on our top story,

Democrats have come to an agreement

with Republicans to reopen

the US government.

It's seen as a win

for President Trump

but the Democratic base

is not happy.

They feel the party's

leaders gave too much away.

To win enough Democratic

votes to open government republicans

agreed to address the key

immigration issue of dreamers,

they are the children

brought to the US illegally

by their parents.

Democrats say they'll vote

to keep the government

open until February 8th.

For more on this we can cross

live to Capitol Hill to speak to our

Washington Correspondent Jane O

Brien.

The White House press secretary has

been speaking, she says the White

House is very happy the government

is back open.

Yes and in the words of Donald Trump

that the Democrats have come to

their senses. This is not going to

do much for bipartisan cooperation,

and it also draws a distinction

between what Mitch McConnell has

said and is promising Democrats to

get that deal and what the White

House may prefer because listening

to that briefing, Sarah Sanders was

asked repeatedly, does a deal on

immigration include funding for the

wall and increased border security?

Does the president agreed it should

be a pathway to citizenship for the

so-called dreamers? She was not able

to answer any of these questions

giving won the sense that although

the Democrats might hope for a clean

resolution to the fate of the

dreamers the White House might be

pushing for a far more comprehensive

Immigration bill which of course

would be far more ambitious, far

more contentious and prone to

pitfalls.

What is the mood on the hill today?

Because we keep hearing reports that

I have seen on Twitter and social

media from groups on the left saying

our leadership caved and give away

far too much, what did Democrats get

in return?

The sense among Democrats is the

ones I have spoken to seemed rather

sheepish, they realise perhaps that

they managed to get out of this

impasse before there was any real

political harm to them in the

midtown is coming up, it was a short

shutdown, two days of, it plays on

Saturday and Sunday. But there seems

to be sense that they did not get

quite what they were hoping for or

that they could have got. The deal

is not substantially different, and

again it is based entirely on a

policy commitment by Mitch McConnell

that he will address the issue of

protections for the dreamers. And

that there will be legislation that

he will address coming up on Friday

the eighth but what's that

legislation entails and whether the

house will support it and whether

the White House will support it or

even the Senate Republicans is an

open question is with -- it is a

deal with the guarantees.

The president is as material as

ever, he spent the weekend bashing

Democrats and in the last few

minutes he said we have a whole lot

of daylight between the White House

and Democrats on immigration.

That is a bold statement because the

Democrats and many Republicans will

say that they don't know what his

position is on immigration, this was

one of the problems that both

parties had in the negotiations

leading up to this shutdown. Chuck

Schumer famously said it was like

negotiating with Jell-o because on

one hand he seemed to say he was all

in favour of coming up for

protections for the dreamers and

then he would take a hardline stance

just one hour or so later so it is

very difficult to know just what

that position is for the White House

and of course that makes it more

difficult going forward with this

pledge to look at legislation that

could end up with protections for

them. Sarah Summers is currently

giving her press conference and says

they will make a long-term deal on

immigration if and only if the deal

is good for the country. As Jane

said what the White House is saying

is pretty bold given that there are

still differences.

And the differences are significant,

the RCS ideological differences with

people have discussed in France, in

the UK and they have discussed them

in Germany and comes to the issue of

border security and what you do

about people who are already in this

country even if they came in here

illegally? I just don't see how in

the space of 2/2 or three weeks the

country can resolve something that

it struggles to get to grips with

over the course of the last eight

years. This is tough stuff and I

just think you have these two wings

of the party on the left of the

Democratic party in the right of the

Republicans and how you can bridge

those to divide when you have people

even in the White House who are on

the end of the spectrum on this. It

is going to be very hard for them to

come up with something that is

satisfactory to all areas of the

immigration debate.

You could say the same about the

Middle East peace process. Let's

talk about the trip to Israel.

He has announced that the US embassy

will move from Tel Aviv

to Jerusalem by the end of 2019.

The Trump administration

believes it can accomplish

what previous presidents have

failed to do.

Let's hear from the

Vice President now.

Just last month President Donald

Trump made history. He rated a 70

year wrong and kept his word to the

American people when he announced

that the United States of America

will finally acknowledged Jerusalem

is as real's capital.

Lets get more with John Alterman. He

is the director of the Middle East

programme and the Centre for Middle

Eastern strategic studies.

The Palestinians have responded to

vice president penned by saying it

is impossible for the Americans to

be a neutral arbiter by moving the

capital, saying they are recognising

Jerusalem is the capital. If that's

the case?

Is the case that...

That

although the president says we want

the middle Eastern peace the

Americans have effectively shut

themselves out of playing that role?

I can figure out the theory that the

administration thinks this makes the

US more of a useful mediator in this

conflict even a facilitator of the

conflict. The Arab side feels that

they have been fighting from a

position of weakness to start with,

and now they have even less to give

away. If the US is putting its thumb

on the skill in favour of the

Israelis the Arabs say, even Arabs

who say it is time to make the deal

say it is much harder to make the

deal because there's nothing left to

give away.

You speak to people in

the White House and Oliver the Janet

Kershner's portfolio, this is

something the president felt he

could do and no one else could do.

You'll might be present's approach

to negotiations have not been what

people expected, his approach to

budget negotiations was not the

wheeler dealer. This is a really

hard problem. There are not a lot of

solutions that people have not tried

already. I think we have a really

narrow zone of what the side can

give. The question is what does a

commitment mean? I don't think this

gets us closer to the Palestinians

making the commitment meaning

anything more than it would have

meant before, the difference is the

Palestinians say there is no deal to

be had any more. It complicates

relationships in the region, he has

had robust conversations in Jordan,

King Abdullah said he had a candid

and Frank talk about the US

decision, warming Edward exacerbates

tensions in the region. This must be

a concern not just about the

Palestinians.

Certainly for King

Abdullah, he is concerned with a

large Palestinian population perhaps

60% of the population of Jordan are

Palestinians, he had a hard line to

walk because he wants to be aligned

with the United States and

Palestinians in Jordan say this is

absolutely outrageous. The president

of Egypt in a more secure political

situation but it is notable that a

trap where the vice president talked

about aborting crescent images in

the Middle East, the large community

and Egypt, 10% of the population in

the country had no interest in

meeting the vice president because

this makes Christians in Egypt and

throws the Middle East in a more

vulnerable position because they

seem to be aligned with an imperial

power of the United States instead

of being woven into the fabric of

their countries.

I should ask about

extra lesson in the vice president,

one in Israel and one in London,

both of them spending an enormous

out of time trying to explain where

the president is coming from and

making excuses. He talks about

Africa today, the vice president,

and the president is good in his

heart and Rex Tillerson says do not

taken seriously the relationship is

what it was, is that good for

American foreign policy win have to

spend so much time doing this?

It is

what it is, I think that when the

president is predictable that is

something people are used to, this

president decided that there is a

lot to begin from being

unpredictable, by making people try

to bring him over and you saw the

way the Chinese treated him in

Beijing, he felt that he got things

out of China because they wanted to

create and so well. The French want

to treat him well when he went for

Bastille Day. In the long-term

whether the seven American interests

we will have to see, but it is

certainly hard when you are

representing the United States and

you have to always look over your

shoulder and wonder if the president

is where he was the last time you

looked over your shoulder.

What should we make

of the famous "special relationship"

between Britain and America under

President Trump?

Is the term obsolete?

Not at all, insisted the US

Secretary of State in London today,

the relationship just needs

a bit of attention.

But it isn't

for the moment getting much

attention from the President

who cancelled his planned visit

citing anger American embassy.

Which is exactly where Rex Tillerson

made his first stop.

He then held meetings

with Theresa May

and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

We're told Iran and Syria

were on the agenda -

but afterwards all they could talk

about, was you got it,

their own relationship.

The relationship between the US and

the UK is absolutely fundamental to

our diplomacy but also to our

economy and as you know there are 1

million people at work in the United

States and void by British companies

as their 1.2 million at work every

country supplied by American

companies, there is no other

economic collision ship like it.

We

spend a lot of time talking about

the world problems and sometimes we

forget about the importance of our

only future. And I think the Foreign

Secretary touched on the elements of

it both from a security standpoint

but also from an economic

standpoint. We need to pay attention

to that relationship and the

importance of this relationship on a

bilateral basis as well while we

work together in common cause to

address some of the serious

conflicts around the world that then

both other nations.

I have always

found in my relationships that when

you have to explain it is better

than we think then you have a

problem. He was also trying to push

for a harder line on Iran and

commitments from European allies and

was told that believe the cat

because the deal that the UK

supports and has reiterated its

support for is about the nuclear

situation, it is not about as an's

effect in the wider region. So

pushed back again for Boris John is

in today. They have also been

talking about another key thing in

US foreign policy.

to exercise restraint

in its incursion into Kurdish-held

territory in northern Syria.

Speaking to the BBC's

Selin Gerit, the Turkish

Presidential Spokesperson -

Ibrahim Kalin - defended Turkey's

operation in the Afrin region,

and had this message

to international critics,

many of whom are its allies in NATO.

What we would like to see is for the

United States to stop supporting

people and white PG.

Is Turkey

moving away from Natal and the

Western Alliance?

Sometimes our

public fears that Natal is not

paying enough attention to Turkey's

legitimate security concerns. The

city in war has entered its seventh

year, we have had many casualties,

we have fought against the Daesh

terrorists and PKK terrorists and

other organisations and we have

received very little help from Natal

and our public and people keep

asking us, where as Nato? But that

does not mean that we are running

away from Nato or Nato was away from

Turkey,...

The United States has

backed the white PG and the Turkish

government sees it as an extension

of the Kurdish separatists in

Turkey, the PKK. Do not forget that

the Americans and Brits have special

forces working alongside them and

have been arming them.

When you look in Syria and how

America is isolating itself when it

comes to Iran and then they stand up

with a key Nato allies like Turkey,

where is American power in the

Middle East at the moment? With the

exception of Saudi Arabia they are

almost absent.

The argument from the White House

would be look what a success we have

had in the fight against Isis and it

is really under President Trump that

that accelerated by the process of

the White House devolving a session

at a power to the military generals,

allowing the military to take

command and supply the # with the

weapons they needed and they are

taking a lot of credit

understandably in the fight against

Isis. I think this administration

sees the Middle East is one of their

strong points at the moment.

This is Beyond

One Hundred Days.

Still to come - A special,

and some would say long overdue

accolade for Minnie mouse,

a star on the Hollywood

walk of fame.

We'll have more at the

end of the programme

He played more than 600

matches for Blackpool,

captained England and was even part

of the victorious 1966 world cup

squad - today tributes have been

pouring in for Jimmy Armfield

who has died at the age of 82.

David Ornstein looks

back at his life.

JImmy Arnfield rose to prominence in

black and white, he would go on to

calm the most colourful careers.

Born in Denton Greater Manchester

Police 1955, he was perhaps destined

for the field.

I nearly all my --

annually always had a little tennis

ball in my pocket. That is how I

learned to become a footballer.

He

had a record 627 games for

Blackpool. He was captain of a 17

year period as a dashing right back.

That is why they have since then

they stand after him, and erected a

statue in his honour. Jimmy was

loyal and loved. He won 43 caps for

England.

And a perfect intersection.

15 as skipper and was part of the

1966 World Cup winning squad, only

injury prevented him from playing in

the turnaround.

Is it you are not

playing in the next one option must

be fit for the World Cup starts. And

I never played again. It is better

we won because today people look

back and say well remember the World

Cup squad. It is not the same as

being in the 11 who played in the

final. The point was it is better

that they won.

Later he turned his

hand to management, guiding Leeds

United to the 1975 European cup

final. He also spent the best part

of 40 years as a summariser for the

BBC, becoming known to many as the

voice of football. In a statement,

his family said Jimmy passed away

peacefully after a decade long

battle with cancer. The flow of

tributes a fitting reflection of one

of the greats of English football.

Who we trust defines how we vote.

With the spread of social media

politics are becoming ever more

divisive. The public relations firm

the German published its 80th annual

trust and credibility survey,

information comes from over 30,000

people in 20 countries. The figures

for the United States are alarming,

trust in government to get sharpest

fall on record, down 14 points.

Fewer than one in three people now

believe that government officials

are credible. 60% of people find it

difficult to distinguish between

real news and fake news. Hewitt in

the UK less than one quarter of

people trust social media and most

TV firms are not doing enough to

crack down on the cleaners. Let's

speak to Matt Harrison. It is an

alarming rate, I went three and

executive summary today. Why do you

think first of all when it comes to

the US there has been such a

collapse in trust?

Thank you for

having me on. It really is a

dramatic report for others this

year. Devastating that we are living

in a very polarised world. The US

trusts and their index, are

composite index has trust in

government fail 37 points. What was

interesting to know was that fell

nine points amongst the general

population but 27 points to the

informed public. Devastating for me

I think the general consensus of a

loss of positive fact -based

information and the loss of civil

discourse. We have seen that play

out over the past week with the US

shutdown and it has resulted in a

collapse in trust in the US

government.

When you look at the

social factors that are driving this

at the moment, we have some of the

lowest unemployment on record here

in the UK and also in the US, we

have record growth on the stock

markets at the same time we have

huge disparity in wealth and real

concern about wage growth. Is this

what is driving this lack of

trustees think? Yellow light you

have touched on the great irony of

this finding. It is with high

employment and a reading stock

market and yet people are feeling

very uncomfortable with the

information they receive, they are

not certain what to trust that true.

In fact at the factor factor is.

When we unpack media in particular

there is a real drop in trust on

social media and search engines,

there was a bit of recovery in fact

a 5-point increase in trust and

traditional journalism at a rise in

journalists and a sense there of

those trying to seek truth and

storytelling. There are inherent

contradictions in the report

finding. It shows that more than

half of people with like businesses

to be better regulated, and yet they

do not trust the government to make

or enforce the rules. People want

more rules in the business world but

do not trust the government to carry

out those rules.

It is an

interesting contradiction and I

think you have seen in the US there

is a lot of -- a loss of trust and

the government and the belief that

the government is the most broken

part of a system. There is the

belief that NGOs represent the

greatest approach to solving

problems and I think that is an

instance of NGOs being expected to

hold government and our business to

account. Business was right behind

NGOs and it is noteworthy that 63%

also look to business to engage in

societies challenges while

delivering -- while delivering

profit. There is an increase in

trust and CEOs in an expectation

that CEOs will begin to engage in

societal issues and discuss societal

issues. A call-back to last week for

the call for businesses to be active

in society.

It does not only affects

those who are in politics whether

people believe fake news real news,

it affects businesses as well

because your company could be the

target of a fake news campaign.

Howard concern is this causing

amongst all of the CEOs and the

leaders that you're talking to in

Davos? How worried are they about

this?

I think we are all conscious

that we are living in a very

dramatically changed age. And that

social media and the information

being disseminated by social media

can be used for ill just this -- can

be used for ill just as well as

good. People are looking to Facebook

and the changes they have made

errors in news feed in the past

couple of weeks, as beginning to try

and wrestle this to the ground but

it also becomes incumbent upon

businesses to be more proactive in

communicating their story and

advancing the facts as they see

them.
