0:00:12 > 0:00:15are close to the Kremlin.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16The list is in response
0:00:16 > 0:00:19to allegations of Russian meddling in the US elections but doesn't come
0:00:19 > 0:00:21with new sanctions.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26President Putin calls it an 'unfriendly act' but says
0:00:26 > 0:00:29there won't be retaliation for now.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31The Republicans plan to release a secret memo alleging the FBI
0:00:31 > 0:00:33abused its power while investigating links between President

0:00:39 > 0:00:42The CIA chief Mike Pompeo tells the BBC he's concerned by China's
0:00:42 > 0:00:48growing influence in Europe and the United States.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49The Chinese are very active.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We welcome them, they are an important part
0:00:52 > 0:00:55of the American fabric, but we can watch very
0:00:55 > 0:01:01focused efforts to steal American information.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Also on the programme.....
0:01:03 > 0:01:05More divided than united - can the President bring America
0:01:05 > 0:01:07together with his first State of the Union address?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11We'll look at what's at stake for him - and the nation.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27is in Washington.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The State of the Union address is an opportunity for the President
0:01:30 > 0:01:32to reset the agenda.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34In 2018 President Trump is predicting great
0:01:34 > 0:01:36things for his country.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37His tax reforms are behind him.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Now he wants bi-partisan action on immigration and infrastructure.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But how easy will it be to get Democrats and Republicans working
0:01:44 > 0:01:47together when there's such mutual mistrust over the handling
0:01:47 > 0:01:50of the Russia Investigation.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Mr Trump has spent months attacking his own Justice Department
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and the FBI.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yesterday the deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe
0:01:57 > 0:01:59was forced to stand down.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Republicans on the House intelligence committee
0:02:01 > 0:02:06say the bureau itself should be investigated.
0:02:06 > 0:02:16Meanwhile Mr Trump has refused to impose sanctions on Russia.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28How has this gone down in Russia. From Russia, Steve Rosenberg.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30The US list has got Russian social media buzzing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33All kinds of views being expressed, for example, the Russian opposition
0:02:33 > 0:02:35activist Alexey Navalny, he tweeted this morning that there
0:02:35 > 0:02:36were lots of villains on this list.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39A different view being expressed from this pro-Kremlin blogger.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42He says he has not seen anything like this since the Cold War!
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Their brains have stopped working, he wrote, because of Russophobia.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We have also heard today from Vladimir Putin.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I attended an event where Vladimir Putin
0:02:51 > 0:02:53was and to begin with, President Putin tried to laugh
0:02:53 > 0:02:57off the list and one of his supporters said to him,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00President, your name is the only one not on that list,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03probably because they could not put it on.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And the Kremlin leader replied, well, I am offended that
0:03:06 > 0:03:07I am not on the list.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Which got a big laugh in the hall.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14But then President Putin got serious.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16He said that the list was an unfriendly act
0:03:16 > 0:03:20which would complicate US and Russian relations,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24but he made it clear that for now, Moscow would not be retaliating.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27The dog barks, he said, but the caravan moves on.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But I think that the people on that caravan, in other words,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33the Russian officials and Russian tycoons who have been named on that
0:03:33 > 0:03:36list, they may be a little worried that somewhere down the road,
0:03:36 > 0:03:45somewhere in the future, they could be affected.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Buy a new round of US sanctions.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51With me is former Prime Minister of Russia, Mikhail Kasyanov who's now
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Chair of the People's Freedom Party - part of Russia's
0:03:53 > 0:03:56democracy movement.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Welcome to the programme. There are 91 that billionaire is on this list,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05some of them with close ties to the President. What we see on this list
0:04:05 > 0:04:08on what we are supposed to see is that the ruling caste in Russia has
0:04:08 > 0:04:17become one of the richest in the world.That is right. It was a good
0:04:17 > 0:04:22signal, an important signal for all those rushes -- Russians who are
0:04:22 > 0:04:27supporting President Putin. That is why they are worried. Some of them
0:04:27 > 0:04:33are scared, especially those bureaucrats and they had a very
0:04:33 > 0:04:39nervous reaction. Scared, white? There could be a real sanctions
0:04:39 > 0:04:45soon, today, the sanctions by the lease, there are people who could
0:04:45 > 0:04:55potentially be understood,. If these people continue to support President
0:04:55 > 0:05:08Putin, contrary to international law, and not resolving problems, as
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Russia Trott it is a powerful signal of the West and the United States in
0:05:13 > 0:05:21particular to the team of President Putin.What do pro-democracy
0:05:21 > 0:05:26activists actually expect from the US? Do they worry about the things
0:05:26 > 0:05:30that Nestor Trump says regarding Mr Putin when he talks about respect
0:05:30 > 0:05:38and liking for him as a leader?-- Mr Trump. All those people on the
0:05:38 > 0:05:44less, some of them involved, some of them not, but it was a technical
0:05:44 > 0:05:56report, on the basis of those, the list was set up, but in the
0:05:56 > 0:06:00decision-making process, it is clear for all Russians and some of them
0:06:00 > 0:06:05are responsible for implementing that and they do not know how to
0:06:05 > 0:06:12react on that, but as I said, it is a clear signal and more and more
0:06:12 > 0:06:17information, as it appears from the likes of the Netherlands and Great
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Britain that Russian authorities interfered with the elections in the
0:06:21 > 0:06:25United States, it is clear what Congress and the US administration
0:06:25 > 0:06:32wanted to achieve by publishing the list. It is a signal to all of these
0:06:32 > 0:06:37people.Does President Putin care about this list? He says there will
0:06:37 > 0:06:44be no retaliation.I think he will care about that and his first
0:06:44 > 0:06:49reaction, that there is some kind of sanctions against all Russians
0:06:49 > 0:06:55demonstrates that, it is not against Russians, 200 people, 100 of them
0:06:55 > 0:07:01who are close to him, but the other 100 quite not. It is a powerful
0:07:01 > 0:07:04signal to all the ruling elite and all the people who could potentially
0:07:04 > 0:07:11be involved in some kind of transactions with President Putin,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15friends are supporting the government.We are about to hear
0:07:15 > 0:07:19from the head of the CIA who has spoken to the BBC and he said he has
0:07:19 > 0:07:26not seen any drop in the activity of the Russians interfering in the USA,
0:07:26 > 0:07:33who do you think is directing it? Vladimir Putin. He is in the circle
0:07:33 > 0:07:39which is much more narrow than before. It is mostly people of KGB
0:07:39 > 0:07:42origin and they remember the Cold War and they remember the Soviet
0:07:42 > 0:07:49Union and the West and all this Cold War fight. They know how to operate
0:07:49 > 0:07:53the list and the now, it is absolutely for them, a normal thing
0:07:53 > 0:08:01to do. The economy is contracting rapidly and for many Russians, very
0:08:01 > 0:08:09soon problems inevitably would come, the population will start demanding
0:08:09 > 0:08:19and asking, looking for the right questions to, those questions...
0:08:19 > 0:08:23That is why I think Vladimir Putin and his inner circle are worried, on
0:08:23 > 0:08:29the one hand, they continue to have a very tough policy, no compromise,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32continued pressure, on the other hand they understand their problems
0:08:32 > 0:08:38could appear.Very interesting to hear from you. Thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo said he has "every
0:08:41 > 0:08:42expectation" that Russia will try to interfere
0:08:42 > 0:08:45in the American mid-term elections this November.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But he's also concerned by the scale of Chinese influence
0:08:48 > 0:08:49in the United States and Europe.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51He has been describing Chinese attempts to infiltrate,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54almost every part of American society, in it's continuing quest
0:08:54 > 0:08:55to become a super power.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Mr Pompeo gave his first international interview
0:08:57 > 0:09:00to our security correspondent Gordon Corera.
0:09:08 > 0:09:16I have not seen a significant decrease in their activity. I have
0:09:16 > 0:09:19every expectation that they will continue to try and do that but I am
0:09:19 > 0:09:23confident that America will be able to have a free and fair election and
0:09:23 > 0:09:27accomplish back in a way that is robust and that the impact they have
0:09:27 > 0:09:31on our election will not be great. Do you ever find yourself having to
0:09:31 > 0:09:37walk a fine line with a President who has said that the talk about
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Russian collusion is fake news and an agency that said there were
0:09:40 > 0:09:45attempts in 2016 to influence the election?I do not do fine line, I
0:09:45 > 0:09:51do the truth. We deliver nearly every day, personally, to the
0:09:51 > 0:09:55President, the most exquisite truth that we know from the CIA.What is
0:09:55 > 0:10:03he like during those meetings, is he inquisitive?Yes, lots of questions.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07He is very focused, in the sense that he is curious about the fact
0:10:07 > 0:10:11that we present.Reason big of which I'm sure you are aware suggested
0:10:11 > 0:10:17that the President not quite up to it -- a recent book. What is your
0:10:17 > 0:10:23response to that?It is absurd. It is absurd. I have not read the book
0:10:23 > 0:10:28and I do not intend to. I have things to read that are accurate and
0:10:28 > 0:10:34truthful. The claim that the President is not engaged and does
0:10:34 > 0:10:41not have a grasp on these important issues is dangerous and falls. It
0:10:41 > 0:10:47saddens me that someone would have taken the time to write this.Is it
0:10:47 > 0:10:51tricky for you when you have been in these briefings and then you might
0:10:51 > 0:10:55come out and there might be some tweet about a foreign policy issue.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59When the President talked about rocket man, is there a danger that
0:10:59 > 0:11:02it is rainy -- raising the tempter with North Korea and it could lead
0:11:02 > 0:11:07to some kind of escalation.Kim Jong-Un has never appreciated the
0:11:07 > 0:11:13risk that he presents to the world in the way that he does. So, when
0:11:13 > 0:11:18you see this language that the President chooses to use, and I can
0:11:18 > 0:11:22share with your audience today, I can assure you that Kim Jong-Un
0:11:22 > 0:11:26understands the message that America is serious about this.Are there
0:11:26 > 0:11:30options that are available, that are assured of all out war? A lot of
0:11:30 > 0:11:39people think that that option will cause a massive loss of life.They
0:11:39 > 0:11:42are right about that. There is a set of military tasks that might have to
0:11:42 > 0:11:46be undertaken that would cause enormous damage and are senior
0:11:46 > 0:11:50leaders are mindful of that.Do you think it is possible to remove the
0:11:50 > 0:11:53ability of Kim Jong Il into fire those missiles, to either take him
0:11:53 > 0:11:59out or take out the ability to launch those missiles?Many things
0:11:59 > 0:12:01are possible and how much time do you think there is, because in the
0:12:01 > 0:12:06past people have talked about it being an imminent threat. We talk
0:12:06 > 0:12:09about him having the ability to deliver nuclear weapons to the
0:12:09 > 0:12:13United States in a matter of a handful of months.Do you feel that
0:12:13 > 0:12:23China is
0:12:26 > 0:12:28moving on North Korea? They are but they can do more. We are watching
0:12:28 > 0:12:31China do things that frankly one year ago no one thought they would
0:12:31 > 0:12:34do. In terms of relations with China more broadly, do you have concerns
0:12:34 > 0:12:36about Chinese influence?We talk a lot about Russian influence these
0:12:36 > 0:12:40days, the Chinese are very active and we welcome them, they are an
0:12:40 > 0:12:45important part of the American fabric, but we can watch, very
0:12:45 > 0:12:48focused efforts to steal American information, to infiltrate the
0:12:48 > 0:12:53United States with spies, with people who are going to work on the
0:12:53 > 0:12:58half of the Chinese government against America. We see it in our
0:12:58 > 0:13:03schools, we see it in our hospitals and medical systems, we see it
0:13:03 > 0:13:07throughout corporate America. It is also true in other parts of the
0:13:07 > 0:13:13world. Including Europe and the UK? Of course. The Chinese are working
0:13:13 > 0:13:17diligently to put themselves in a position where they are a
0:13:17 > 0:13:19superpower.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Mike Pompeo talking about the threat from China -
0:13:21 > 0:13:23but still, Russia is dominating the headlines here.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Which makes it all the more surprising that the FBI is having
0:13:26 > 0:13:29to defend itself from a committee with which it shares intelligence.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yesterday Republicans signed up to a secret memorandum said
0:13:31 > 0:13:33to accuse the justice department and the bureau of
0:13:33 > 0:13:36misusing their authority. Republicans have invoked a power
0:13:36 > 0:13:38never before used by the secretive committee to effectively declassify
0:13:38 > 0:13:43the memo that they had compiled.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46The Republicans have denied Democrats on the committee
0:13:46 > 0:13:48an opportunity to publish a rebuttal Let's pick up on some
0:13:48 > 0:13:57of that with our North America editor Jon Sopel.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03It is an extremely state of affairs that you have got Mike Pompeo
0:14:03 > 0:14:06talking about the threat that the United States faces from Russia and
0:14:06 > 0:14:10yet the administration and the supporters on the hill are going
0:14:10 > 0:14:18after the FBI.There has been this long-standing campaign, about
0:14:18 > 0:14:22releasing the memo at my timeline has been full of people saying why
0:14:22 > 0:14:27are you not reporting on this? Because we have not seen what it is.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Republicans are desperate to get it out. It is not a memo that is
0:14:31 > 0:14:34written by an independent analyst, it is written by the Republican
0:14:34 > 0:14:40chair of the house intelligence committee and what it apparently
0:14:40 > 0:14:44shows, none of us have seen it, but it is said to show that the molar
0:14:44 > 0:14:48investigation is corrupted, that there is bias, that there is
0:14:48 > 0:14:52something wrong with what is going on. That is what it is alleged to
0:14:52 > 0:14:55show and of course Republicans, who want to help the President are
0:14:55 > 0:15:01desperate to get this out there, because if you do so, you muddy the
0:15:01 > 0:15:07water and maybe, if Mueller comes up with a conclusion that Donald Trump
0:15:07 > 0:15:09finds this obliging, the water will have been so muddied that people
0:15:09 > 0:15:14will say I am so sick of all of this, I do not believe a word. The
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Democrats have tried to put out their own rebuttal document but that
0:15:18 > 0:15:23was voted down. C when it comes out, if it is the bombshell that everyone
0:15:23 > 0:15:28says it is. This is all about the toxic nature of party politics in
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Washington.It is quite a high-stakes gamble for the
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Republicans. It could be seen to go either way. How do you think people
0:15:38 > 0:15:41are viewing this at the moment? Are the Republicans winning at this
0:15:41 > 0:15:50point?I think... There is the Mueller investigation, we know the
0:15:50 > 0:15:53President is irritated by the investigation, he says there was no
0:15:53 > 0:15:57collusion with the Russians, this is all a hoax and fake news, there is
0:15:57 > 0:16:02nothing there to see. Why doesn't Mueller just get on with it and
0:16:02 > 0:16:06reaches conclusions? A lot of American people are not as concerned
0:16:06 > 0:16:11about the Russian investigation as they are about jobs and tax cuts and
0:16:11 > 0:16:17health care and education. That is normal. I think what is happening
0:16:17 > 0:16:20the sense that there are people that as this investigation gets closer to
0:16:20 > 0:16:23the White House and we were reporting last week that the
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Attorney General, the first member of the Cabinet had been interviewed
0:16:27 > 0:16:31by Mueller, as it gets closer to the President, I think you're seeing
0:16:31 > 0:16:36more chaff being put into the air to divert attention and I think that
0:16:36 > 0:16:39maybe there were things wrong with the FBI investigation but at the
0:16:39 > 0:16:44moment, we still have not seen what this memo is.Always good to get
0:16:44 > 0:16:50your thoughts. Thank you. I wonder what the mood must be like among the
0:16:50 > 0:16:54field agents, they did not know that Andrew McCabe was going to stand
0:16:54 > 0:16:58down as quickly as he did. They share intelligence with the house
0:16:58 > 0:17:00intelligence committee and what we are hearing there is that the
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Republicans on the committee have selectively chosen that intelligence
0:17:05 > 0:17:08to put together this level. More than that, they are not allowing the
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Democrats to publish their rebuttal and I do not see how the President
0:17:12 > 0:17:23benefits from
0:17:24 > 0:17:26this, because it is a selective interpretation of the intelligence
0:17:26 > 0:17:29that we cannot see.That is right and at the end of the day it is all
0:17:29 > 0:17:31about trust. Can the intelligence communities trust lawmakers with
0:17:31 > 0:17:33this sort of information? Can lawmakers trust what they perceive
0:17:33 > 0:17:35to be a biased bureau to investigate their President and more
0:17:35 > 0:17:40importantly, can the public trust any of them and I think these are
0:17:40 > 0:17:44the long-term implications of the toxic atmosphere, the toxic
0:17:44 > 0:17:49partisanship that John was talking about earlier. We still do not know
0:17:49 > 0:17:54why Andrew McCabe took his decision to stand down yesterday.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57We don't know why Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59took his decision to stand down yesterday.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Though he has reportedly told friends he felt pressure to go.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It should be said, the Inspector General is due
0:18:04 > 0:18:07to publish a report into the FBI's conduct during the 2016 election -
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and who knows maybe there are implications in that
0:18:09 > 0:18:10report for McCabe.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Some think he should have recused himself
0:18:12 > 0:18:14from the Clinton investigation, given that his wife was running
0:18:14 > 0:18:17for the Virginia Senate in 2016, with support from a Clinton backer.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Nonetheless he's the second high profile casualty
0:18:19 > 0:18:23in the Russia investigation.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25His boss James Comey was sacked as director last May.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26The deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
0:18:26 > 0:18:29who is overseeing the investigation for the Justice Department
0:18:29 > 0:18:30is now in the crosshairs.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34And then of course there's the special councel Bob Mueller.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Jonathan Turley is a professor of law at George
0:18:37 > 0:18:43Washington University.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Thank you for coming in. As we were saying, there are so many threads to
0:18:48 > 0:18:53this investigation. It is difficult to know where to start. Taken as a
0:18:53 > 0:18:59whole, what impact is it having on the Russian investigation itself?I
0:18:59 > 0:19:01expected the Russian investigation proceeding with less difficulty than
0:19:01 > 0:19:06the rest of us are having. The investigators stay focused on what
0:19:06 > 0:19:11they are investigating. It is a very large team of investigators and
0:19:11 > 0:19:13prosecutors are assembled by Mueller. He is not the type of
0:19:13 > 0:19:24person to get
0:19:41 > 0:19:44edgy or jumpy, he knows that his position is pretty safe. There is
0:19:44 > 0:19:46talk about Trump firing Mueller but most of us think it is unlikely. It
0:19:46 > 0:19:49hasn't been made clear to the President that if they did it, it
0:19:49 > 0:19:51would be a poison pill moment that would doom him and his
0:19:51 > 0:19:54administration. Just a case that learning curve after James Comey was
0:19:54 > 0:19:56not long enough. The interesting thing about the resignation of
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Andrew McCabe came earlier than expected. There is a lot of talk
0:19:58 > 0:20:01that director Ray who is viewed as a political had gone to the hill and
0:20:01 > 0:20:04read that memo. He was also briefed on the internal investigation by the
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Inspector General and he was almost immediately after that that
0:20:06 > 0:20:08reportedly he asked Andrew McCabe to step down and take leave and then
0:20:08 > 0:20:11retire. There is a lot of discussion about what is in that report on what
0:20:11 > 0:20:15is in the memo that might have motivated Ray himself to say, I
0:20:15 > 0:20:22think you need to go.If the FBI is found to have been complicit in any
0:20:22 > 0:20:27wrongdoing or overstepping the mark, would that actually scupper the
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Russian investigation entirely?Noel and firing Mueller would not have
0:20:32 > 0:20:36done that, what is clear, the one thing you can take to the bank is
0:20:36 > 0:20:40that this investigation will run to the ground all the information it is
0:20:40 > 0:20:44seeking and it is going to reach its own conclusion, even if you were to
0:20:44 > 0:20:47take out Mueller, he would be replaced by someone who would be
0:20:47 > 0:20:53neutral, otherwise Congress would proceed, very aggressively towards
0:20:53 > 0:20:57the President. That investigation is going to proceed. The question is
0:20:57 > 0:21:00whether there is going to be increased pressure for an
0:21:00 > 0:21:02investigation into some other issues. There are embarrassing
0:21:02 > 0:21:08e-mails about FBI agent showing great hostility towards the
0:21:08 > 0:21:11President and it is one of those things, where if you put on the
0:21:11 > 0:21:14light, there are a lot of things that no agency wants people to see
0:21:14 > 0:21:20and that is certainly the case here. When we talk about Christopher Ray
0:21:20 > 0:21:24at the approach he has taken to Andrew McCabe, he said when he was
0:21:24 > 0:21:27pressed, reportedly, by the President, that he would have to go
0:21:27 > 0:21:34if he was being forced to sack Andrew McCabe. In that sense, it is
0:21:34 > 0:21:39worth re-emphasising, that maybe there was something and he should
0:21:39 > 0:21:43have accused himself in 2016, if his wife was receiving money from the
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Clinton backer, should he have had the foresight to step aside from the
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Clinton investigation?I think it would have been wise for him to do
0:21:51 > 0:21:54so. There are problems with the Clinton investigation, some of us
0:21:54 > 0:21:59who are viewed as neutral thought that the Clinton staff got a great
0:21:59 > 0:22:04deal of deference by the FBI, things like negotiating over getting back
0:22:04 > 0:22:07government material on computers which usually you do not have. We
0:22:07 > 0:22:17have a knock
0:22:20 > 0:22:23on the door and they say give me back the computer and that went on
0:22:23 > 0:22:25for months. There were a lot of questions about special treatment
0:22:25 > 0:22:27and possible bias, but not anything amounting to a crime but there is
0:22:27 > 0:22:29talk about whether these internal investigations have revealed some
0:22:29 > 0:22:31problems. It may be that the President is partially right, it
0:22:31 > 0:22:35does not mean he is right in how he is reacting but at this point we are
0:22:35 > 0:22:37past the fail-safe point and I think that most Americans feel, all these
0:22:37 > 0:22:40investigations have to run to grab what they are looking at and there
0:22:40 > 0:22:43has to be a lot of disclosure. In the United States, I have never seen
0:22:43 > 0:22:47the trust in government so low and it will only be regained if everyone
0:22:47 > 0:22:51feels they're getting raw information without all of the
0:22:51 > 0:22:56manipulation of both parties. Jonathan Turley, thank you very much
0:22:56 > 0:23:02for joining us. The good point that he makes, you have to accept that
0:23:02 > 0:23:05the committee is getting intelligence from week to week from
0:23:05 > 0:23:09the FBI so there is no trust between the FBI and they are frustrated by
0:23:09 > 0:23:14the leaks, you want to what the long-term damage could be.Indeed
0:23:14 > 0:23:19and that is what we are waiting to find out.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Ireland will hold a referendum on whether to liberalise
0:23:21 > 0:23:22its strict abortion laws.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25The Irish Cabinet has agreed to hold a vote at the end of May,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28giving voters the first opportunity in 35 years to overhaul some
0:23:28 > 0:23:29of the world's strictest laws.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The Irish Prime Minister said there must be an end to women having
0:23:32 > 0:23:37to travel abroad for a termination.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Saudi authorities say an anti-corruption campaign
0:23:38 > 0:23:40has raised more than a hundred billion dollars.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The total amount includes property, securities, cash and other assets.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46All but about sixty of those detained in an five star hotel
0:23:46 > 0:23:48in Riyadh have now been released.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50They were arrested on the orders of the Saudi crown prince,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Mohammed bin Salman, after he set up a new
0:23:53 > 0:23:56anti-corruption body.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59The head of the UN agency which provides aid to Palestinian
0:23:59 > 0:24:02refugees has criticised the US decision to cut its funding...
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Saying it's likely to create more instability in the Middle East.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09The United States is historically the agency's biggest donor.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Washington will hand over 60 million dollars of a planned payment
0:24:13 > 0:24:15to the UN Relief and Works Agency but keep back a further
0:24:15 > 0:24:2565 million dollars until it carries out "reforms".
0:24:29 > 0:24:36There is a deep cafe in Tokyo with a new still knows how you feel. This
0:24:36 > 0:24:42is Japan's first robot cafe. No traditional waiters or baristas,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47instead the entire operation rests in the hands or the clause of the
0:24:47 > 0:24:54robot who can reportedly serve up to five cups of coffee in one movement.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00I like the idea.You're not a coffee person. No, it sends me bonkers, I
0:25:00 > 0:25:05am a tea drinker but I can say that over here in America, I would
0:25:05 > 0:25:09welcome a robot, because Americans do not seem to know how to make tea.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15I know I will get made -- get pilloried about that.I like talking
0:25:15 > 0:25:19to a barista in the morning. I enjoy are talk and I am not sure how I
0:25:19 > 0:25:24would feel about a robot. If he expresses himself well, that would
0:25:24 > 0:25:26be OK.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC. Coming up for viewers
0:25:29 > 0:25:32on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News - In the wake
0:25:32 > 0:25:35of the Larry Nassar trial we look at moves to make sure those working
0:25:35 > 0:25:38with children in sport are legally required to report suspected sex
0:25:38 > 0:25:40abuse within 24 hours. And the row over the leaked report
0:25:40 > 0:25:43which claims everyone in Britain will be worse off after Brexit.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45.That's still to come.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Hello. Temperatures have taken a dip but they are about to go lower over
0:26:17 > 0:26:20the next 24 hours. The weather front is moving south without brakes of
0:26:20 > 0:26:25rain overnight and into the morning and here is the proper cold air.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Stronger wind into bed and stay as well. Rain for Scotland and Northern
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Ireland pushing south into England and Wales and for South England, are
0:26:34 > 0:26:38less cold night compared to last night, but behind the rain as the
0:26:38 > 0:26:43temperatures dip in Scotland and Northern Ireland, plenty of wintry
0:26:43 > 0:26:47showers and the temperatures are dropping, so icy conditions on
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Wednesday morning. Rain, sleet, snow, hell, so wintry feel in
0:26:51 > 0:26:57Scotland and Northern Ireland for Wednesday, but be aware, you could
0:26:57 > 0:27:02find more of these showers but icy conditions are risk everywhere on
0:27:02 > 0:27:06untreated services in the morning. For England and Wales, here we will
0:27:06 > 0:27:09take the overnight outbreaks of rain in two parts of south-east England,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13clearing away by the end of the morning and following on from that,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17we will find sunnier skies coming in but there will be a few showers. A
0:27:17 > 0:27:21windy day, pretty windy across the board for Wednesday, coastal gales
0:27:21 > 0:27:26on the north-west, most of the wintry showers, maybe some thunder
0:27:26 > 0:27:29into Scotland and Northern Ireland pushing into the north-west of
0:27:29 > 0:27:34England, a few showers dotted around southern parts, but there are some
0:27:34 > 0:27:38sunny spells to be had. These are the temperatures by mid to late
0:27:38 > 0:27:42afternoon, between three and 7 degrees, without window will feel
0:27:42 > 0:27:45colder than that. It we will continue with the wintry showers do
0:27:45 > 0:27:50Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, severe gales possible in
0:27:50 > 0:27:53the north-east of Scotland and the Northern Isles going into Thursday,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57more of a northerly component of the wind on Thursday, sunny spells
0:27:57 > 0:28:00around but it will be cold. Still some wintry showers to be had but
0:28:00 > 0:28:05some of these will be fading into the afternoon, leading to widespread
0:28:05 > 0:28:09frost on Friday morning. Single finger temperatures dropping away
0:28:09 > 0:28:13quickly, under clear skies and easy winds there is denied into Friday
0:28:13 > 0:28:18morning. Some sunshine, then you will see another weather system
0:28:18 > 0:28:23poised to come in from the Atlantic and timed for the start of the
0:28:23 > 0:28:28weekend. As this pushes east into Saturday, there could be sleet and
0:28:28 > 0:28:33snow particularly across the northern half of the UK.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34snow particularly across the northern half of the UK.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11This is Beyond One Hundred Days, with me Christian Fraser in London
0:30:11 > 0:30:13and Jane O'Brien's in Washington.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Our top stories.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17A leaked government report says Britain will be worse off
0:30:17 > 0:30:20after Brexit but Ministers play it down saying it doesn't take
0:30:20 > 0:30:25into account the opportunities of leaving the EU.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27The US names 200 Russian officials and oligarchs it says
0:30:27 > 0:30:30are close to the Kremlin - but stops short of sanctions.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Coming up in the next half hour.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38After the Larry Nassar scandal moves to make sure claims of sexual abuse
0:30:38 > 0:30:42in sport are reported within 24 hours.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44After a year of intense infighting at the White House can
0:30:44 > 0:30:49the President's State of the Union speech reach out beyond the base?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag
0:30:52 > 0:31:01'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06The second phase of Brexit is upon us.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09And the British government is still to decide what model it prefers.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12How close it will stay to the European Union
0:31:12 > 0:31:13or whether to diverge.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Today that debate has taken a turn, with the leak of sensitive
0:31:16 > 0:31:19government data that concludes no matter what form Brexit takes,
0:31:19 > 0:31:25the UK economy will be WORSE off outside the European Union.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31The government has responded, it says the analysis is incomplete
0:31:31 > 0:31:34and does not assess its preferred option of a bespoke free trade deal.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier joins
0:31:35 > 0:31:39us from Westminster.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45The politics of this worth looking at because senior ministers have
0:31:45 > 0:31:50been brought into the Cabinet to look at this leaked report. Not
0:31:50 > 0:31:54allowed to take a copy with and of course the Brexit camp saying you
0:31:54 > 0:31:58see, there is politics in trying to leak damaging information.I think
0:31:58 > 0:32:03the reason this has become acrimonious is because of the
0:32:03 > 0:32:06accusations that this paper has been leaked deliberately to undermine
0:32:06 > 0:32:13Brexit and there are some leaves supporting politicians who are
0:32:13 > 0:32:16suggesting that perhaps those with similar views to the Chancellor
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Philip Hammond for people who share his approach to Brexit might have
0:32:21 > 0:32:26been behind this. Just last week the Chancellor said the UK should only
0:32:26 > 0:32:31move very modestly apart from the EU after Brexit. I think the concern
0:32:31 > 0:32:37for some Brexiteers is Theresa May is moving towards the point of view
0:32:37 > 0:32:41of Mr Hammond, his approach to Brexit and they worry that the UK
0:32:41 > 0:32:47might end up with Brexit in name only. That has been tagged here as
0:32:47 > 0:32:51we know but it means we would still leave the EU but they would be very
0:32:51 > 0:32:55few changes. I think it comes to something and shows the seriousness
0:32:55 > 0:33:01of the tensions of the top of the government that even ministers are
0:33:01 > 0:33:06throwing around accusations about why this paper was leaked.The
0:33:06 > 0:33:09article is a selective interpretation of a preliminary
0:33:09 > 0:33:16analysis, it is an attempt to undermine our exit from the EU.The
0:33:16 > 0:33:19government is resisting calls for this analysis to be published, it
0:33:19 > 0:33:24says it would harm the national interest. Labour though I say it
0:33:24 > 0:33:30needs to be published as soon as possible.It is the right of the
0:33:30 > 0:33:33public to know about the livelihoods and their future and for the
0:33:33 > 0:33:38government not to publish this is deeply responsible and dishonest.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The government is adamant it will not be publishing this analysis, it
0:33:41 > 0:33:47says it is unfinished and not yet complete is a piece of work. At the
0:33:47 > 0:33:50moment Labour saying that that simply is not good enough. I think
0:33:50 > 0:33:56this will not be the last we hear about this particular document.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Theresa May is off to China, is this an unusual moment to leave the
0:34:01 > 0:34:05country?I think this trip has been planned for some time, probably it
0:34:05 > 0:34:12gives the sense of business as usual and perhaps only sort of because
0:34:12 > 0:34:15this infighting in the Conservative Party, the splits in the Cabinet,
0:34:15 > 0:34:20that is also becoming a bit normal to a certain extent. I think we
0:34:20 > 0:34:26should remember the backdrop to this latest row over Brexit and also the
0:34:26 > 0:34:31backdrop to her trip to China. There is discomfort and concern if you
0:34:31 > 0:34:35like amongst Conservative MPs not just about Theresa May and
0:34:35 > 0:34:40leadership when it comes to Brexit but the domestic agenda as well. I
0:34:40 > 0:34:43think if they were to be a bad set of results in the local elections
0:34:43 > 0:34:49coming up later this year, a crisis of leadership in Number Ten, if
0:34:49 > 0:34:52there was a big wobble if you like them I think Theresa May really
0:34:52 > 0:34:57could find yourself in some trouble. Nevertheless we should also remember
0:34:57 > 0:35:01that there is a fear amongst Conservative MPs of a leadership
0:35:01 > 0:35:05election, they fear it could rip the party apart and could lead to the
0:35:05 > 0:35:10opposition leader here Jeremy Corbyn in Number Ten. There also is no
0:35:10 > 0:35:15single name coming forward, no candidate who is being pushed
0:35:15 > 0:35:17forward to succeed Theresa May. So there is not really someone waiting
0:35:17 > 0:35:23in the wings. Nevertheless I'm sure Theresa May heading off to China
0:35:23 > 0:35:26with a slightly heavy heart and concern about what will be going on
0:35:26 > 0:35:31back at home while she is away.It all seems to come down to elections
0:35:31 > 0:35:32these days. Thank you very much.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34President Trump has spent the weekend honing his state
0:35:34 > 0:35:35of the union address.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38And by all accounts he has been heavily involved
0:35:38 > 0:35:40in this speech, scripting and re-scripting key sections.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42We are told he spent his Sunday rehearsing in the Map Room
0:35:42 > 0:35:44of the White House.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46So what will be in it?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Well - large parts of it of course will focus on the economy.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51And why not, there is a good story to tell.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53The stock market is booming, there's renewed growth,
0:35:53 > 0:35:54big companies are investing.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57BUT if he is to achieve everything he has set out to,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59then the President will need the Democrats on immigration
0:35:59 > 0:36:01and infrastructure.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04And that is why the tone will be different to what we got
0:36:04 > 0:36:11this time last year.
0:36:11 > 0:36:20Make America great again. The time has come for a new programme of
0:36:20 > 0:36:26national rebuilding. I'm going to bring back millions of
0:36:26 > 0:36:30jobs, protecting workers also means reforming our system of legal
0:36:30 > 0:36:34immigration. We will soon begin the construction
0:36:34 > 0:36:43of a great great Wall along our southern border.
0:36:43 > 0:36:49We will provide massive tax relief for the middle class.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52One of the largest increases in National defence spending in
0:36:52 > 0:36:56American history. I believe strongly in free trade.
0:36:56 > 0:37:04But it also has to be fairer trade. The time for trivial fights is
0:37:04 > 0:37:05behind us.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07To get the view from Capitol Hill I've been speaking
0:37:07 > 0:37:15to Republican congressman Scott Taylor from Virginia.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Thank you for joining me. Who do you think the president most needs to
0:37:18 > 0:37:24reach out to tonight?I think the president can and should speak to
0:37:24 > 0:37:30all Americans. I think we have many things in common, whether
0:37:30 > 0:37:33infrastructure, defeating Isis and things like that that Republicans
0:37:33 > 0:37:39and Democrats can agree on. He needs to speak to those who see themselves
0:37:39 > 0:37:43as independents, which is the fastest-growing population
0:37:43 > 0:37:47politically. It is important that he speaks out to all Americans.Looking
0:37:47 > 0:37:54at this from the outside it seems to be very divided at the moment, do
0:37:54 > 0:37:58you think there is any chance that all sides can come together on these
0:37:58 > 0:38:04big issues like immigration. That is just provoking a shutdown?Yes I do,
0:38:04 > 0:38:09when you look at the economy, the improving economy and people having
0:38:09 > 0:38:13more money in their pocket, I think that is a bipartisan issue and one
0:38:13 > 0:38:19thing he can talk about and then talk about immigration. I think the
0:38:19 > 0:38:27public to want to see more security and at the same time they want to
0:38:27 > 0:38:34deal with the population. And the president has expressed a
0:38:34 > 0:38:37willingness to do that which is good for all Americans and I think we can
0:38:37 > 0:38:42come together on that. The Democrats shut the government down over this,
0:38:42 > 0:38:46funding for troops, all those things so it would be disingenuous to them
0:38:46 > 0:38:49if they did not come to the table now the president has a serious
0:38:49 > 0:38:53proposal. I think we can come together and solve the immigration
0:38:53 > 0:38:59problem.How important is his tone going to be?Town is extremely
0:38:59 > 0:39:03important. As I said when you're speaking to independence, to the
0:39:03 > 0:39:08other side, how we can come together on the things that we do have in
0:39:08 > 0:39:14common, and how to move forward on that, the tone is important. I think
0:39:14 > 0:39:18the president will do well to have a conciliatory tone.This is your
0:39:18 > 0:39:21first State of the Union as well, you've been there for one year, what
0:39:21 > 0:39:27has surprised you the most about working in Washington, is that the
0:39:27 > 0:39:31gridlock, the lack of bipartisanship?Well I tried to have
0:39:31 > 0:39:37no expectations so I would not be let down but what I will say is I am
0:39:37 > 0:39:42surprised at the division in the country right now. I come from
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Virginia and in Virginia we have the Virginia way where we find common
0:39:46 > 0:39:50ground and move that forward. I'm military guy into the military you
0:39:50 > 0:39:56do not care about colour, gender, rich or poor, you hold hands and you
0:39:56 > 0:39:59get things done. That is what I would like to see more of in
0:39:59 > 0:40:10Washington.Thank you very much.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Chicago was a city that went overwhelmingly for Clinton in 2016
0:40:13 > 0:40:14but they are not all Democrats.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17One man who has a finger on the pulse is the chat
0:40:17 > 0:40:19show host Maze Jackson, we talked to him a year
0:40:19 > 0:40:22ago on 100 Days.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25And if I remember correctly Maze some of President Trump's ideas
0:40:25 > 0:40:27were not a million miles from your own.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34So a year on how do you think he is getting on?
0:40:34 > 0:40:40I think if the president did not have a Twitter account he would be
0:40:40 > 0:40:44doing great. I think his Twitter account is what has done him in. But
0:40:44 > 0:40:49thinking about some of the things he has accomplished, getting his
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Supreme Court nominee in and getting his tax plan done, is doing pretty
0:40:53 > 0:40:59well. But again the temperament he has not been able to manage the
0:40:59 > 0:41:01tone.That is an important point that many people make reference to.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Scott Taylor said he is surprised by the division and many others would
0:41:05 > 0:41:10be surprised given the health of the American economy.I'm not surprised
0:41:10 > 0:41:15by the division, we saw that playing out during the term of President
0:41:15 > 0:41:20Obama and they have continued. What we have seen in the last election,
0:41:20 > 0:41:26the liberal kind of Democrats got their turn and now we're seeing the
0:41:26 > 0:41:31same thing happening on the other side.Here in Washington we tend to
0:41:31 > 0:41:39focus on the bubble, the Russian enquiry, immigration, the lack of
0:41:39 > 0:41:43bipartisanship. What do people really want to see coming from
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Washington, what do they want from the president in this speech?I
0:41:47 > 0:41:52think people want to see how they will continue to grow the economy,
0:41:52 > 0:41:59we will continue to make... America is booming right now and the biggest
0:41:59 > 0:42:03challenge will be how to deal with this issue of immigration reform. We
0:42:03 > 0:42:08heard a lot about the dreamers but I think the president will be in a
0:42:08 > 0:42:12situation where people will want to know what are we going to do next to
0:42:12 > 0:42:20keep our government going.So what is going to change, what has to
0:42:20 > 0:42:25change?I think the tone, I think when you look at President Trump he
0:42:25 > 0:42:31has been very devices for a lot of the liberal groups but he is going
0:42:31 > 0:42:37to need them if he wants to be able to accomplish its goal of getting
0:42:37 > 0:42:41the wall done and comprehensive immigration reform. So really you
0:42:41 > 0:42:46will have to reach across the line which I think he's willing to do.I
0:42:46 > 0:42:53wonder how likely it is that he can appeal to bipartisan action after
0:42:53 > 0:42:57everything that has happened, you know in the Virginia election, and
0:42:57 > 0:43:00the tweets as you say, is it possible to reach across the aisle
0:43:00 > 0:43:04with all that water onto the bridge? I think it is possible and everyone
0:43:04 > 0:43:09has something they want. So the president wants this wall, if you
0:43:09 > 0:43:15get that he will have pretty much everything he told people he was
0:43:15 > 0:43:20going to do. And Democrats want to keep the dreamers, so I think that
0:43:20 > 0:43:23there is some middle ground. We've seen indications from the White
0:43:23 > 0:43:28House and heard from Democrats that they think the plan could be
0:43:28 > 0:43:31workable. So I think there will be an opportunity here but I think the
0:43:31 > 0:43:36Republicans will continue to hold strong.Always good to talk to you,
0:43:36 > 0:43:45thank you. An important point made our guests,
0:43:45 > 0:43:47that the president perhaps realises that the midterms are around the
0:43:47 > 0:43:55corner and he has got to find a broader base than the Conservatives.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59That is the logical thing to do but we also keep hearing from our guests
0:43:59 > 0:44:04is it is all about the tone. Just as much as about substance. Then of
0:44:04 > 0:44:08course listening to the State of the Union address tonight, he may say
0:44:08 > 0:44:13something but then later on he might tweak and everything he said is
0:44:13 > 0:44:16undermined by Twitter. So I think it is difficult to know which President
0:44:16 > 0:44:22you're listening to and who he is trying to appeal to next.Some of
0:44:22 > 0:44:24the other news of the day.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27More than 100 child health experts have called Facebook to withdraw
0:44:27 > 0:44:30an app that is aimed at children under the age of thirteen.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32In an open letter to Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg,
0:44:32 > 0:44:34the experts called Messenger Kids an "irresponsible" attempt
0:44:34 > 0:44:36to encourage young children to use social media.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Facebook says the app was designed to help parents control how
0:44:38 > 0:44:45children use social media.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Hundreds of football fans, staff and players have turned out
0:44:48 > 0:44:51for the funeral of former West Brom and England forward, Cyrille Regis.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53His funeral cortege was greeted with applause as it arrived
0:44:53 > 0:44:56at the West Bromich Albion club stadium for a private service.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Regis died earlier this month and tributes since for a man
0:44:58 > 0:45:00described as a hero, and a trailblazer for
0:45:00 > 0:45:01young black footballers.
0:45:01 > 0:45:06He was 59.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Britain's Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge,
0:45:09 > 0:45:11have begun their four-day visit to Sweden and Norway,
0:45:11 > 0:45:15with a turn on the ice in Stockholm.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17The royal couple have been playing "Bandy"-
0:45:17 > 0:45:20which is similar to ice hockey but involves a ball rather
0:45:20 > 0:45:25than a puck and it has slightly larger pitches and goals.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27The Royal couple then went on to meet members
0:45:27 > 0:45:37of the Swedish royal family.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Governing bodies for amateur athletics could soon be required
0:45:41 > 0:45:44by law to promptly report sexual abuse claims.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47It follows the case of Larry Nassar, the former US gymnastics doctor,
0:45:47 > 0:45:50who was sentenced last week to 175 years in prison for
0:45:50 > 0:45:56the decades-long abuse of more than 150 women and girls.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58The case prompted lawmakers to speed up the passage of legislation
0:45:58 > 0:46:01to protect young people.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03On Monday, the House passed the bill with an overwhelming
0:46:03 > 0:46:06majority of 406 to 3.
0:46:06 > 0:46:12It was sponsored by Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Earlier today she appeared with some of the gymnasts on Capitol Hill
0:46:15 > 0:46:17and our North America correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan who has covered
0:46:17 > 0:46:26the Nassar trial for us was there.
0:46:26 > 0:46:34What do they feel they have achieved by this law?This law has been in
0:46:34 > 0:46:39the works way before the sentencing hearing last week, it is been in the
0:46:39 > 0:46:43works for up to a year. The main thing is they're happy with, the
0:46:43 > 0:46:48gymnasts, is the fact that if anyone reports abuse to an amateur
0:46:48 > 0:46:53athletics Association on this law it would mean they would have to go,
0:46:53 > 0:46:57the athletics Association, would have to go to law enforcement within
0:46:57 > 0:47:0124 hours. So for the gymnasts means there is accountability and also a
0:47:01 > 0:47:04culture where young women are believed and their complaints taken
0:47:04 > 0:47:09seriously. This bill would also extend the statute of limitations
0:47:09 > 0:47:15because often in these cases the gymnasts were often too young to be
0:47:15 > 0:47:18aware that they're actually being sexually abused and it was only when
0:47:18 > 0:47:21got older when they look back at the horrific experience and understood
0:47:21 > 0:47:25what had happened to them. Now the bill will change the statute of
0:47:25 > 0:47:28limitations to begin with a women have come of age and are aware of
0:47:28 > 0:47:32what happened to them. And limit the interactions that people have with
0:47:32 > 0:47:36adults on their own because of course Larry Nassar treated many of
0:47:36 > 0:47:42these women on their own. Now I spoke last week to Jamie Dempster, a
0:47:42 > 0:47:44bronze medal Olympian and I asked her what she thought they had
0:47:44 > 0:47:49achieved. It was interesting when you hear what you said that she felt
0:47:49 > 0:47:52happy about her Olympic achievements because of the abuse that she was
0:47:52 > 0:48:00subjected to.I have never been able to even be proud of my elite career
0:48:00 > 0:48:05and never been able to even speak the truth about how hard and how
0:48:05 > 0:48:09intense and how abusive it was. Because no one would listen. And so
0:48:09 > 0:48:15to speak up and finally have not only one person listen but have so
0:48:15 > 0:48:26many people supporting us and on our side and I finally feel proud.One
0:48:26 > 0:48:31of the things I'm curious about, a week ago we were hearing the most
0:48:31 > 0:48:35powerful, emotional testimony from these young women. Do you get any
0:48:35 > 0:48:39sense that one week later they are in any way of getting back to normal
0:48:39 > 0:48:43life whatever that is after this restaurant judging by the three
0:48:43 > 0:48:48women we saw there, there still being activists in a way, they've no
0:48:48 > 0:48:51idea when they decided to testify that it was going to be an
0:48:51 > 0:48:57outpouring of testimony, it started something like 90 and became 156.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01And speaking to them they are trying to work out how to channel what they
0:49:01 > 0:49:08achieved into something for the greater good of all athletes.This
0:49:08 > 0:49:11is an extraordinary moment in sport and we are seeing it in so many
0:49:11 > 0:49:18different industries put up including academia now, we're seeing
0:49:18 > 0:49:21that whole area coming under the spotlight in ways that would be
0:49:21 > 0:49:27unimaginable just a few months ago. I think you suddenly get a tipping
0:49:27 > 0:49:33point and all these cases come forward. Suddenly you have as is the
0:49:33 > 0:49:40case in the US, people looking at amateur sport, collegiate sport and
0:49:40 > 0:49:43looking at safeguards to be put in place. One thing that seems to
0:49:43 > 0:49:48emerge for me from the Larry Nassar case, is that people were left
0:49:48 > 0:49:51unsupervised. You know with Larry Nassar. If someone else had been in
0:49:51 > 0:49:55the room they might have been able to stop it. So guidelines being put
0:49:55 > 0:49:58in place and good to see that Congress seems to be rallying around
0:49:58 > 0:50:00the calls.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02This is Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Still to come - they're one of the most famous political
0:50:05 > 0:50:07dynasties in the world - we'll explain their connection
0:50:07 > 0:50:16to the State of the union address.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19The Costa Book of the Year has just been announced,
0:50:19 > 0:50:20at a ceremony in London.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22The shortlist includes a first novel, a biography, poetry,
0:50:22 > 0:50:27fiction and a children's book.
0:50:27 > 0:50:35Rebecca Jones is there for us.
0:50:35 > 0:50:40Hello. Welcome to a very noisy restaurant here in central London
0:50:40 > 0:50:46where we have just heard that Helen Dunmore is the winner of the Costa
0:50:46 > 0:50:50Book of the Year for her final collection of poetry written about
0:50:50 > 0:50:56her own impending death. She wrote Inside The Wave in the last weeks of
0:50:56 > 0:51:03her life. She died of cancer last June. At the age of 64. A lot of the
0:51:03 > 0:51:09poetry discuss and talk about her death and dying. I would not want to
0:51:09 > 0:51:14give you the impression that it is very maudlin collection, a miserable
0:51:14 > 0:51:19collection because in fact many poems celebrate life and they are
0:51:19 > 0:51:23life affirming. There is a poem about two girls hiding in a garden,
0:51:23 > 0:51:29another about IKEA. Many other poems about the sea. And Helen Dunmore,
0:51:29 > 0:51:37her son Patrick and his sister and their father went up on stage to
0:51:37 > 0:51:41pick up the war. They said that they were absolutely delighted and their
0:51:41 > 0:51:47mother would have been so pleased because poetry was her life. The
0:51:47 > 0:51:50chair of the judges, novelist Wendy Holden said it was a close decision
0:51:50 > 0:51:54and took the judges and are perhaps to reach the decision. But they said
0:51:54 > 0:52:00all nine of the judges felt that Inside The Wave was a classic. A
0:52:00 > 0:52:04collection of polymers with a very strong message and even though they
0:52:04 > 0:52:09were written after Helen Dunmore knew that she was dying, that they
0:52:09 > 0:52:12were very life affirming and the judges thought that they would
0:52:12 > 0:52:17appeal to a wide range of people. So there you have it, the winner of the
0:52:17 > 0:52:21Costa Book of the Year is Helen Dunmore for her final collection of
0:52:21 > 0:52:29poetry, inside the way. -- Inside The Wave.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32After President Trump makes his state of the union address
0:52:32 > 0:52:34tonight there will be a special moment for a young Democrat
0:52:34 > 0:52:35to give his party's response.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37And a name that will need no introduction.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Congressman Joe Kennedy III from Massachusetts
0:52:39 > 0:52:42will take the podium.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Grandson of the late Bobbie Kennedy assassinated in 1968.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47And great nephew of the late president JFK and Sen.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Ted Kennedy, who in 1982 gave the response to
0:52:49 > 0:52:56President Reagan's State of the Union.
0:52:56 > 0:53:04Lets speak to our North American reporter Anthony Zurcher.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08We hear a lot about the State of the Union for obvious reasons but how
0:53:08 > 0:53:14important is the response?Well it is still a big audience that the
0:53:14 > 0:53:19opposition party is talking to and a chance to lay out their agenda as
0:53:19 > 0:53:22well and to contrast with the president. It is a challenge because
0:53:22 > 0:53:27with all those people in the halls of the Congress, the spectacle, it
0:53:27 > 0:53:31is difficult to match that and go toe to toe with that in response.
0:53:31 > 0:53:44You've seen sometimes where a
0:53:45 > 0:53:55responder has been overshadowed a little bit. And then Marco Rubio who
0:53:55 > 0:53:59was famous for taking a drink of water in the middle of its response.
0:53:59 > 0:54:04Some people think it is almost cursed and that if people are
0:54:04 > 0:54:08putting the spotlight they tend to wilt. It can make or break a career.
0:54:08 > 0:54:14It can and one of the things they to highlight is rising stars, Marco
0:54:14 > 0:54:20Rubio, Nikki Haley who is now the US ambassador to the UN, she gave the
0:54:20 > 0:54:24response to the final Barack Obama stayed of the union address. Joe
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Kennedy, I think the Democrats wanted to put the younger face
0:54:27 > 0:54:34forward but not to dispel these domestic concerns after the
0:54:34 > 0:54:39nomination of Hillary Clinton. But this Kennedy is younger,
0:54:39 > 0:54:43charismatic, and they're giving the speech in a blue collar, working
0:54:43 > 0:54:46class town in Massachusetts so gearing towards a strong economic
0:54:46 > 0:54:52message and setting the stage for the midterms.Quite a shop window.
0:54:52 > 0:55:01But in a way it is to the younger generation of Democrats. When at the
0:55:01 > 0:55:07moment the congressional leadership is dominated by the old guard.Chuck
0:55:07 > 0:55:11Schumer, older members of the house and they have been knocked for that.
0:55:11 > 0:55:18And even Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, their older and they feel no need to
0:55:18 > 0:55:24refresh their message. The response is usually an elder Senator or
0:55:24 > 0:55:28member of Congress standing there and usually somewhere in Washington
0:55:28 > 0:55:33giving that response. I think there has been a change of strategy and
0:55:33 > 0:55:36old way of putting forward for the party should look like. You could
0:55:36 > 0:55:41tell the message is the Democrats want to look younger.Thank you very
0:55:41 > 0:55:46much. And of course a long night for you.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48There will be much more on President Trump's first state
0:55:48 > 0:55:49of the union address on BBC World.
0:55:49 > 0:55:59A special programme gets underway at 0200 GMT.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Good to be with you this evening,
