0:00:08 > 0:00:11You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Mr Trump weighs in on healthcare,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16Britain's health care, and gets an angry response.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19It is of course not the first time the American President has tweeted

0:00:19 > 0:00:23something that has annoyed his British ally.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Mr Trump said the British system was broken

0:00:26 > 0:00:34after a demonstration in London called for more funding for the NHS.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Democrats push for the release of intelligence

0:00:36 > 0:00:38to counter claims the FBI is biased against Mr Trump

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Also on the programme...

0:00:40 > 0:00:43The EU's chief negotiator arrives in London to tell

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Britain it faces 'unavoidable' trade barriers if it leaves

0:00:45 > 0:00:49the customs union after Brexit.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51And "One of these nights" -

0:00:51 > 0:00:53The Eagles finally have the silver.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Superbowl 52 belongs to Philadelphia.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Hello and welcome - I'm Katty Kay in Washington

0:01:10 > 0:01:20and Christian Fraser is in London.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22President Trump is developing a habit of criticising

0:01:22 > 0:01:23one of America's closest allies.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26He did it again today when he took on Britain's popular

0:01:26 > 0:01:28national health service - and drew a swift, fierce

0:01:28 > 0:01:32reaction from angry Brits.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35The health minister, Jeremy Hunt was not happy

0:01:35 > 0:01:39when Mr Trump suggested the famed NHS is broken.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41As America struggles to develop a satisfactory private

0:01:41 > 0:01:44health care system of its own, the UK model of public health care

0:01:44 > 0:01:49for everybody is often held up as a counter example.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Many Americans find it hard to believe that Brits

0:01:51 > 0:01:53of all political persuasions will defend the public health system

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- just as Brits find it hard to believe Americans would tolerate

0:01:56 > 0:02:02having so many people with no health insurance.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's another sign of the tensions in the so-called special relationship.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth

0:02:08 > 0:02:13is in Westminster for us.

0:02:13 > 0:02:19Mr Trump has done it again. How much concern has he caused amongst

0:02:19 > 0:02:25America's closest ally?Not the first time he has commented on

0:02:25 > 0:02:30something to do with the British government policy on social media.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35There was something of a backlash. You had people uniting from across

0:02:35 > 0:02:41the political spectrum to defend the NHS in light of President Trump's

0:02:41 > 0:02:47comments. Jeremy Corbyn, the opposition leader said Mr Trump was

0:02:47 > 0:02:54wrong to treat his opposition to the NHS. Many people made the point that

0:02:54 > 0:02:59the demonstrators were supporting the NHS and calling for more funding

0:02:59 > 0:03:04for it. Jeremy Hunt the health minister responded with a critique

0:03:04 > 0:03:12of US health policy. Unity from the UK criticising Donald Trump's

0:03:12 > 0:03:16intervention. The Prime Minister Theresa May was asked about this

0:03:16 > 0:03:21today and made the point that there is a good relationship between the

0:03:21 > 0:03:26US and the UK, nonetheless it is fair to say that Donald Trump is

0:03:26 > 0:03:33testing diplomatic relationships.He has fundamentally misunderstood that

0:03:33 > 0:03:37across the political spectrum, they like the system. They don't want to

0:03:37 > 0:03:42get rid of the NHS, they want more funding. He is right that there is a

0:03:42 > 0:03:47funding debate but they don't want it replaced.Quite right. Every

0:03:47 > 0:03:51political party in the UK has been Claire about its commitment to the

0:03:51 > 0:03:57NHS. There is no doubt about that. It is a celebrated part of the UK

0:03:57 > 0:04:06Government policy. The origin of the tweet is that Nigel Farage, a former

0:04:06 > 0:04:10leader of Ukip, he appeared on US television shortly before President

0:04:10 > 0:04:15Trump sent this to eat and was talking about the NHS. In

0:04:15 > 0:04:20particular, the pressure it's under as a result of immigration. Shortly

0:04:20 > 0:04:24after, we have this tweet from Donald Trump. We can't say for sure

0:04:24 > 0:04:30that he was influenced by the appearance of Nigel Farage on US

0:04:30 > 0:04:34television but some people are attributing that to this tweet. He

0:04:34 > 0:04:39seems to be missing the point about the NHS when it comes to British

0:04:39 > 0:04:42policy because every party is wholly supported of it despite the

0:04:42 > 0:04:45differences over whether there is enough funding and how it should be

0:04:45 > 0:04:51run. There is cross-party support for it and we saw exactly that in

0:04:51 > 0:04:56the response to Donald Trump's tweet.We know that the president

0:04:56 > 0:05:02likes to watch Fox and friends and there is more evidence of it there.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06They were marching to protect the NHS on Saturday, not to replace it

0:05:06 > 0:05:09with a privatised system.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Let's just take a look at some of the stats.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14According to the World Health Organisation -

0:05:14 > 0:05:17the UK ranks number 18 out of 191 countries when it comes to health

0:05:17 > 0:05:22system performance - termed here as 'efficiency'.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Compare that to the US - and they are lower down the list,

0:05:26 > 0:05:30weighing in at number 37.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38This graph is from the Commonwealth fund showing health-care spending as

0:05:38 > 0:05:44a percentage of GDP. That's most of the European countries on the

0:05:44 > 0:05:50bottom. Canada and Australia might be there as well. The one on the

0:05:50 > 0:05:56top, showing the gap in spending is the United States. This is a very

0:05:56 > 0:06:00interesting debate that Donald Trump has weighed in on. Whenever you

0:06:00 > 0:06:06raise the prospect of having something like the British system in

0:06:06 > 0:06:10America, people cry fear of socialism and that they could never

0:06:10 > 0:06:14possibly do this. They like to protect their privatised health care

0:06:14 > 0:06:19system. But when you look at those rankings particularly on the quality

0:06:19 > 0:06:25of care, the United States comes up one place behind Costa Rica and one

0:06:25 > 0:06:30above Cuba. I'm not sure how many Americans realise how badly their

0:06:30 > 0:06:33health care system ranks compared to other countries. How badly their

0:06:33 > 0:06:35health care system ranks compared to other countries. Hammy times can

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Donald Trump criticise the United Kingdom whether it is over the

0:06:40 > 0:06:46Manchester bombings, the Britain first videos and other things before

0:06:46 > 0:06:50the Prime Minister can say that the special relationship has been

0:06:50 > 0:06:56affected. The bottom line is don't involve yourself in other country's

0:06:56 > 0:07:02political problems. I don't suppose it will be the last time he does it.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Democrats are pushing to release their version of how

0:07:04 > 0:07:07the FBI investigated the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's the latest move in a tit for tat over intelligence.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Here's how we got here.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13On Friday, Republicans released a memo accusing the FBI

0:07:13 > 0:07:15of bias in its investigations into Donald Trump's

0:07:15 > 0:07:16presidential campaign.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Mr Trump reacted to the document on Saturday,

0:07:18 > 0:07:20tweeting: This memo totally vindicates "Trump" in probe.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on.

0:07:22 > 0:07:28Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction

0:07:28 > 0:07:30But then on Sunday, one of the Republican authors

0:07:30 > 0:07:33who helped draft the memo appeared to contradict Mr Trump -

0:07:33 > 0:07:36saying its release has no impact on the Russia probe.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40I am on record as saying I support Bob Mueller 100%.

0:07:40 > 0:07:47I think you would have a Russian...

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Look, Russia tried to interfere with our election in 2016.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50With or without a dossier.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52You need an investigation into Russia.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Here to help us make sense of the whole saga is

0:07:55 > 0:07:56the Washington Post's Intelligence and national security

0:07:56 > 0:08:02correspondent, Shane Harris.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07The next stage in this row is the democratic rebuttal to this memo and

0:08:07 > 0:08:10the president must decide within five days whether he is happy for

0:08:10 > 0:08:16the house committee to release it. It will be difficult for him if they

0:08:16 > 0:08:21can't release it. What will the justification for that be? The

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Republicans released over very vocal objections from the FBI and the

0:08:26 > 0:08:30intelligence community within Donald Trump's administration. He would be

0:08:30 > 0:08:35in a pickle if he tried to block the Democrats from releasing the memo.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39The Republicans have released their memo, assuming the Democrats will,

0:08:39 > 0:08:44do you think the concept of either will have changed a single mind in

0:08:44 > 0:08:48the United States about whether the FBI was biased in favour of Donald

0:08:48 > 0:08:54Trump or not?I don't think so. People have pretty firm opinions on

0:08:54 > 0:08:58that question before this Republican memo came out. It probably

0:08:58 > 0:09:03reinforced many people's thoughts who already thought the FBI was

0:09:03 > 0:09:08somehow biased and for those who saw no bias, it will reinforce that was

0:09:08 > 0:09:12right. It didn't offer any new information or compelling evidence.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17I don't know what the Democrat memo will do to persuade people either. I

0:09:17 > 0:09:29don't see people thinking that the FBI is against Donald Trump will

0:09:29 > 0:09:41change their mind.The baseline for Devin Nunes is that the dossier

0:09:41 > 0:09:52spurred the investigation.It explicitly confirms what has been

0:09:52 > 0:09:57reported before. George Papadopoulos was the spark that hit the fire. I

0:09:57 > 0:10:02don't know if it shows anything in the way of how the investigation was

0:10:02 > 0:10:06conducted. It reveals how deeply split the house intelligence

0:10:06 > 0:10:10omitting is in its partisan camps over this investigation which has

0:10:10 > 0:10:24threatened to derail this investigation. This isn't the first

0:10:24 > 0:10:30time that he has tried to do that. Shane Harris at the Washington Post,

0:10:30 > 0:10:31thank you very much.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Let's check in with Peter Ahearn on this -

0:10:34 > 0:10:36he served as Special Agent for the FBI for almost thirty years

0:10:36 > 0:10:40and joins me now in the studio.

0:10:40 > 0:10:46His there any upside in terms of intelligence gathering in releasing

0:10:46 > 0:10:49little bits of intelligence in this way that the Republicans have

0:10:49 > 0:10:55already and the Democrats want to do?First of all, there was no

0:10:55 > 0:11:00reason they should have released classified material. That in itself

0:11:00 > 0:11:05is a problem. In this case, some of this information is out. It's only a

0:11:05 > 0:11:10very small part of the total picture of the information and any

0:11:10 > 0:11:15information that gets out can be damaging, our adversarial, the

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Russians in particular are laughing at this. They can't wait to see what

0:11:18 > 0:11:22comes out of this to help them understand how the FBI collect

0:11:22 > 0:11:27intelligence. This isn't a criminal investigation. It is a huge

0:11:27 > 0:11:33difference.This process of criticising the FBI that we have

0:11:33 > 0:11:38witnessed over the last few weeks in particular, how damaging is it, not

0:11:38 > 0:11:42just to the organisation not to American security?The Americans

0:11:42 > 0:11:47have to have the confidence that the FBI will do its job and it is

0:11:47 > 0:11:53definitely still there. The one thing about being independent, both

0:11:53 > 0:11:57sides hate your guts. In this case, you're dealing with an issue where

0:11:57 > 0:12:08you can't win. I could tell you right now that the director would be

0:12:08 > 0:12:11briefing the president if something happened and doing the job that he

0:12:11 > 0:12:16was appointed to do as well as every other member of the FBI but it does

0:12:16 > 0:12:20get old, it can wear you down but not stopping them from doing their

0:12:20 > 0:12:33job. Robert Mueller's job has not ended.If you're not getting it from

0:12:33 > 0:12:37both sides if you're supposed to be in the middle, you are in trouble.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41The committee meet in private, classified information is shared

0:12:41 > 0:12:46between them or has been in the past. That sometimes doesn't suit

0:12:46 > 0:12:49the FBI. Will they now be more loath to share things that they probably

0:12:49 > 0:12:54should share with the committee. That's correct but it won't stop

0:12:54 > 0:13:00them if that's what they are told to do. You are sharing some very

0:13:00 > 0:13:04classified information with members of Congress. Also, you have to think

0:13:04 > 0:13:09about the members of staff, who pretty much wrote this memo and

0:13:09 > 0:13:13getting to look into certain things, there is concern about sharing

0:13:13 > 0:13:19information and links that can be derived from that. It is not the FBI

0:13:19 > 0:13:25only. The CIA, the NSA, the other members of the intelligence

0:13:25 > 0:13:28community are concerned that when they are briefing things, is that

0:13:28 > 0:13:34information going to get out? Is it going to compromise the sources and

0:13:34 > 0:13:38methods of United States intelligence agencies that they used

0:13:38 > 0:13:44to get the information?That is key. It is a pretty clear rule of thumb

0:13:44 > 0:13:49that the people who look for something the more likely it is to

0:13:49 > 0:13:54get laid.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57A year and a half after the Brexit referendum,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Britain needs to decide what it wants in its future

0:13:59 > 0:14:01relationship with Europe - that was the verdict today

0:14:01 > 0:14:06of the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09The choice is whether Britain will share rules and tariffs

0:14:09 > 0:14:12with the EU once it has left - or go its own way.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14There have been concerns among those who voted for Brexit,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18that a promise to the leave the EU, is being diluted by those ministers

0:14:18 > 0:14:19who voted to Remain.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23But last night the government made it clear, that it was not UK policy

0:14:23 > 0:14:24to stay in ANY customs union with the EU.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26So, what is the policy?

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29In a hurry.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Not just to catch the 1056 from Brussels to London.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33We have not a minute to lose, because

0:14:33 > 0:14:37we want to achieve a deal.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42But the EU's chief negotiator wants to press on.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45It is time for bargaining he says as the next round of Brexit

0:14:45 > 0:14:46talks loom.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49The first priority for him and his host David Davis

0:14:49 > 0:14:50is to agree what happens straight after Brexit.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Do you know what the British government wants?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56In the two years or so time frame not much will change

0:14:56 > 0:15:00but the real posturing is about the longer term.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05Theresa May popped in for a drink after reminding her

0:15:05 > 0:15:08party that she wants out of the single market free trade area

0:15:08 > 0:15:11and the current customs union.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13But she knows, along with these two, there

0:15:13 > 0:15:17might be mishaps along the way.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Our negotiating team is starting straightaway,

0:15:18 > 0:15:22tomorrow certainly on an intensive period of negotiation

0:15:22 > 0:15:24and we can get that agreement.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yet while this might sound elegant in a

0:15:26 > 0:15:33French accent it is still a warning.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37Without the customs union, outside the single market, barriers to trade

0:15:37 > 0:15:46and goods and services are unavoidable.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50Time has come to make a choice.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53In other words, Foreign Secretary and others, make your mind up.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57The EU's has consistently said we can't keep the best bits of the

0:15:57 > 0:15:59EU without losing somewhere.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04But that has always been rejected by Brexiteers.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08What my side wants,

0:16:08 > 0:16:12what most of the country wants is a good deal.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The way to get a good deal is to be very clear that we are leaving,

0:16:16 > 0:16:19we are leaving the single market, leaving the customs union.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22The fear of others in the Tory party and the government is that the

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Eurosceptics are too close to No 10.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26This week the Prime Minister hopes to get

0:16:26 > 0:16:28the Cabinet to find a compromise.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30What is more important, sticking close to the EU or

0:16:30 > 0:16:31making the most of freedom outside?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34We've heard a lot of, we are not going to do this,

0:16:34 > 0:16:36we are not going to do that.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37What are we going to do?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40That is what we're waiting to hear, that is what

0:16:40 > 0:16:42the 27 countries the UK's negotiating with waiting to hear.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44In the meantime this uncertainty is really,

0:16:44 > 0:16:49really bad for business.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51No 10 has to make bargains within its

0:16:51 > 0:17:01party as well as with the EU outside.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Today's talks were about the EU in the UK plugging back in

0:17:05 > 0:17:08before the next charge round of negotiations really gets

0:17:08 > 0:17:10going but arguably for there to be meaningful

0:17:10 > 0:17:13progress any time soon the UK ministers have to speed up their

0:17:13 > 0:17:15decisions about their overall approach.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17None of the questions are easy but after months of squabbling

0:17:17 > 0:17:19time to discuss becomes time to decide.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25The former US gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar,

0:17:25 > 0:17:27has been sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years

0:17:27 > 0:17:29in prison.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31The sentence relates to the sexual abuse

0:17:31 > 0:17:33of young female athletes.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Nassar carried out the abuse over two decades under the guise

0:17:36 > 0:17:38of medical treatment.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41The sole surviving suspect of the Paris attacks in 2015

0:17:41 > 0:17:44has gone on trial in Belgium in a separate case linked

0:17:44 > 0:17:46to his arrest in Brussels.

0:17:46 > 0:17:4829-year-old Salah Abdeslam is accused of attempting to murder

0:17:48 > 0:17:58police officers during a gun battle, four months after the Paris attacks.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07If you know the story of Rocky Balboa you will know that

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Philadelphia is a sucker for a good underdog story.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Last night it was their own football team that overcame all the odds.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15The Eagles beat the New England Patriots to win the trophy

0:18:15 > 0:18:16for the first time.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19And with a back-up quarterback who nearly gave up the game entirely.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Nick Foles got his chance in December

0:18:21 > 0:18:22when the regular quarterback sustained a season-ending injury.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24On Sunday night, facing the Patriots' Tom Brady,

0:18:24 > 0:18:28one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Foles came of age.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Throwing three touchdowns and even running one in himself.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Voted the most valuable player on the field.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33Fairytale stuff.

0:18:33 > 0:18:41Jane O'Brien is in Philly.

0:18:41 > 0:18:47Lucky you. What a party they had last night.They certainly did.

0:18:47 > 0:18:53Today is officially won they I don't know if it is going to be a state

0:18:53 > 0:18:59annual holiday but it is hilarious here because this city is suffering

0:18:59 > 0:19:03from a monumental collective hangover. Pretty much everybody I

0:19:03 > 0:19:08has spoken to was out until the early hours just partying. Luigi at

0:19:08 > 0:19:12the pizza shop on the corner said that normally he sells 200 wings and

0:19:12 > 0:19:20night. Last night it was 2000. He said it was out of control. They are

0:19:20 > 0:19:24preparing for the victory parade that will take place on Thursday and

0:19:24 > 0:19:29I'm being assured that it will be the biggest parade that Philadelphia

0:19:29 > 0:19:38has ever seen. That is a passing fan. Another fan gave me this.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43Apparently I'm in the wrong colours. It is the the Eagles flag. It has

0:19:43 > 0:19:49clearly seen some action. It smells of beer. Won't be coming back in the

0:19:49 > 0:20:02car with ours. Save to say, fly, Eagles, fly!The green! The green!

0:20:02 > 0:20:12I've got my green tie on, as well. We wish you were there.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15And for more on the big game last night we can turn

0:20:15 > 0:20:17now to Tommy Smyth - who after decades covering

0:20:17 > 0:20:20the football Europeans know and love has turned his sights

0:20:20 > 0:20:22to the American game.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27Great to have you back on. I had no idea that you were an American

0:20:27 > 0:20:30football fan. I feel slightly betrayed because I have spoken to so

0:20:30 > 0:20:36many times about soccer. Did you enjoy the game?It was an incredible

0:20:36 > 0:20:42game. I'm speaking as someone who has seen every one of the Super

0:20:42 > 0:20:49Bowls. It was as good a game as I've seen. A typical Philadelphia story.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Philadelphia fans are meat and potatoes, they don't want it fancy,

0:20:52 > 0:20:56they just want to win and they certainly did last night.Tell

0:20:56 > 0:21:04others about Nick Foles, the young quarterback, young by Tom Brady's

0:21:04 > 0:21:10standards, and yours and mine, he had a great game.He had a

0:21:10 > 0:21:16believable game. The difference was when the coach called that place

0:21:16 > 0:21:21where Nick Foles went into the end zone and caught a pass himself. Ten

0:21:21 > 0:21:23minutes before that, Tom Brady tried the same thing and it didn't

0:21:23 > 0:21:30succeed. That was the changing of the guard right there. And then that

0:21:30 > 0:21:35Hail Mary at the end. Those are something that the Patriots have

0:21:35 > 0:21:38become accustomed to getting something out of but there was

0:21:38 > 0:21:43nothing last night.Glad that you are wearing your Eagles green tie,

0:21:43 > 0:21:48like I am. There will be producers in Hollywood queueing up for the

0:21:48 > 0:21:53Nick Foles story. He was thinking about quitting the game. He was in

0:21:53 > 0:21:59the background as the number two quarterback. He was booed in the

0:21:59 > 0:22:03regular season and now he comes to prominence facing Tom Brady, the God

0:22:03 > 0:22:11of Super Bowl.It doesn't get any better. You couldn't write a

0:22:11 > 0:22:17Hollywood story that was like this. People would say you are crazy. It

0:22:17 > 0:22:22just went right for him at the right time. He won't be the first

0:22:22 > 0:22:29quarterback next year. Philadelphia will go back to the number one. Even

0:22:29 > 0:22:33though he won the Super Bowl, he could be out of a job next year. But

0:22:33 > 0:22:39a lot of managers would love to have him. It was a real Rocky story.

0:22:39 > 0:22:46Fabulous stuff. Deep into the fourth quarter, because of the game,

0:22:46 > 0:22:50because of the stature of Tom Brady, it could have gone to the Patriots

0:22:50 > 0:22:56right at the death.You are watching and watching because we have become

0:22:56 > 0:23:05so accustomed to the Patriots partying out. In life, nothing lasts

0:23:05 > 0:23:13forever but tonight the Eagles were the ones.Sylvester Stallone put

0:23:13 > 0:23:22something up on Instagram. Young, Eagles! In my best Rocky Balboa

0:23:22 > 0:23:28voice. What does it mean for the franchise?An awful out of money.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Plus, when you look at this team, this team is basically going to come

0:23:32 > 0:23:37back next year with a different quarterback. They are not going to

0:23:37 > 0:23:42lose any of their players. They are set up now. They could become a

0:23:42 > 0:23:46dynasty. They could become the Patriots. They could come the

0:23:46 > 0:23:51Patriots of the future. They have a really good-looking team. The

0:23:51 > 0:23:56defence is coming back. They will be back again.They will love to hear

0:23:56 > 0:24:03that in Philadelphia. Last night was my first time I actually watched the

0:24:03 > 0:24:09film Super Bowl game. My son explain the game to me. Luckily he

0:24:09 > 0:24:16understands it. I could actually see that people were watching it for the

0:24:16 > 0:24:21game. After a year in which the NFL has come in for so criticism for

0:24:21 > 0:24:30many reasons, it was good to see that the football was what people

0:24:30 > 0:24:34were talking about and not the politics and not incidents of abuse

0:24:34 > 0:24:39in the game.If the NFL had written the story that this was the way they

0:24:39 > 0:24:43wanted to end the season, this would have been it. It took all that other

0:24:43 > 0:24:48stuff out and still focused on the game. With seconds left on the

0:24:48 > 0:24:52clock, the game was up for grabs. You were waiting to see where the

0:24:52 > 0:25:00ball went. If grand cat -- Grant caught the ball, the Patriots would

0:25:00 > 0:25:07have got it. It was a real shot in the arm for the game.Thank you,

0:25:07 > 0:25:13Tommy. Christine, deduced a band watch the game? You know that I fell

0:25:13 > 0:25:17asleep on the sofa in the first quarter and my wife had to come down

0:25:17 > 0:25:22to kick me off the sofa to go to bed. It was a poor show. I saw the

0:25:22 > 0:25:27first field goal and I saw the Patriots get down the other end and

0:25:27 > 0:25:32that was it. So, I missed it. Useless. No good at all.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel

0:25:39 > 0:25:42and BBC World News - we ask are there enough safeguards

0:25:42 > 0:25:46in place to protect those who work in the so called gig economy?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49And the British man accused of hacking into American

0:25:49 > 0:25:50government computers wins against being extradited

0:25:50 > 0:25:51to the United States.

0:25:51 > 0:26:02That's still to come.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15The next couple of nights are going to be very cold indeed. Tomorrow

0:26:15 > 0:26:20night will be even colder. Tonight, some snow on the way. Let's see

0:26:20 > 0:26:26where. First of all, in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland a

0:26:26 > 0:26:33light covering is possible. One or two centimetres. In the early hours

0:26:33 > 0:26:38of Tuesday, it reaches the north of England and merges into Wales and

0:26:38 > 0:26:43the north-west of England. I had of that, towards the east and south,

0:26:43 > 0:26:48partly cloudy skies and a harsh frost. Temperatures down to -3 or 4

0:26:48 > 0:26:54degrees. By 8am, the weather front has gone through and we are in a

0:26:54 > 0:27:02cold air mass. Wintry showers will follow. The weather front coming

0:27:02 > 0:27:07through Newcastle to York and Manchester, Northern Wales, the West

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Midlands and nudging into Birmingham. The very far south-west,

0:27:11 > 0:27:19the tip of Cornwall it is probably going to be rainfall. A covering of

0:27:19 > 0:27:22snow, one or two centimetres, over the hills it could be five or ten.

0:27:22 > 0:27:28There could be delays on Tuesday morning. The weather front gets

0:27:28 > 0:27:34stuck across the Midlands and the south and it is just cloud. Not much

0:27:34 > 0:27:38snow to come. Tomorrow night, Tuesday night Interwetten stay, it

0:27:38 > 0:27:42turns really cold. Snow showers here and there but the temperature will

0:27:42 > 0:27:53be the story. It could be easily -5 Celsius. Negative double digits

0:27:53 > 0:27:59expected widely in Scotland. Outside of city centres. Wednesday not

0:27:59 > 0:28:03looking too bad. Another front approaching but ahead of it a cold

0:28:03 > 0:28:09and frosty start. Clear skies, a beautiful crisp winter's day. Then

0:28:09 > 0:28:14another weather front moves in and within this area of cloud, rain and

0:28:14 > 0:28:19drizzle, maybe a bit of snow in the North, milder air heading our way.

0:28:19 > 0:28:25By the time we get to Thursday, it will turn milder. Temperatures

0:28:25 > 0:28:28recovering to rant about six. Maybe even 10 degrees in the far

0:28:28 > 0:28:32south-west. Goodbye.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16This is Beyond 100 Days. Christian Fraser is in London. Our top

0:30:16 > 0:30:21stories: Theresa May defends the British health care is system after

0:30:21 > 0:30:31President Trump treats that it is broke and not working. Coming up in

0:30:31 > 0:30:35the next half-hour: Democrats push for their right to reply to a

0:30:35 > 0:30:41Republican memo accusing the FBI of bias in its investigation of top's

0:30:41 > 0:30:48ties with Russia. A British hacker accused of hacking into US

0:30:48 > 0:30:51computers, with his battle against extradition. Let us know your

0:30:51 > 0:30:58thoughts.

0:31:02 > 0:31:08Are there enough safeguard ins place for people who work in the so-called

0:31:08 > 0:31:14gig economy. That is the term used to describe companies such as the

0:31:14 > 0:31:16about, for whom self-employed drivers are matched with jobs or

0:31:16 > 0:31:24gates. This man was one of these self-employed workers. He was also

0:31:24 > 0:31:29diabetic. Last year, he collapsed twice at the real of his ban, but

0:31:29 > 0:31:32because he -- wheel of his van, but because he faced a penalty, he

0:31:32 > 0:31:36started missing medical appointments. In late December,

0:31:36 > 0:31:42having worked through Christmas to meet the rush, he collapsed and

0:31:42 > 0:31:48died. His wife spoke trust. She explains that things started to get

0:31:48 > 0:31:51harder for, as he took out a franchise with the company?It

0:31:51 > 0:31:58sounded an amazing, amazing opportunity. And, you get the

0:31:58 > 0:32:03contracts, I believe, back then it was a five-year contract. But, now

0:32:03 > 0:32:08it is a format you want. And part of the contract, I'm afraid, there are

0:32:08 > 0:32:12clauses, and if you don't agree with them, you don't get your franchise.

0:32:12 > 0:32:21One of those causes is -- clauses is a ridiculously unfair fine, charge

0:32:21 > 0:32:26of £150. Something that nobody wants to fork out for. If anything, if you

0:32:26 > 0:32:33don't work that day, you don't own anything. That is fine enough, but

0:32:33 > 0:32:39to charge on top of not only for that day of £150, awful. That is

0:32:39 > 0:32:45some people's weekly wage, you know. A lot of money. Not fair.I presume,

0:32:45 > 0:32:50that on those days when he woke up and did not feel well, it is not so

0:32:50 > 0:32:53easy, if it's to find a basement driver at the drop of a hat? Was

0:32:53 > 0:32:59that part of the problem, that he could not find a placement is

0:32:59 > 0:33:05macular Matt Jess. You've got to be trained. You can't get anybody to

0:33:05 > 0:33:10drive the van. They have tuna had used the hand held computers.It

0:33:10 > 0:33:14works out the roots and tells you what time you finish your work.

0:33:14 > 0:33:22Never had dinner breaks. They would eat on the go. The last few days,

0:33:22 > 0:33:26before New Year's Eve when I lost him, he wasn't feeling good. He had,

0:33:26 > 0:33:35I thought... It was a sickness bug. Towards the end, he was saying, I've

0:33:35 > 0:33:42was bringing up a bit of blood. He was a lovely man. He would have

0:33:42 > 0:33:48loved him. Bubbly, vivacious, fun loving. Always had a lovely smile.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52He was just my best friend, and now I have lost my soul mate, and I'm so

0:33:52 > 0:34:00lost. I wish I could worry about the time. I wish I could have made him

0:34:00 > 0:34:04go to hospital appointments. I just wish I had worried at the time. I

0:34:04 > 0:34:10miss him so much, you would have loved him, obviously. A hard worker,

0:34:10 > 0:34:19dedicated and a lovely father to our son, Jordan. A lovely man.We wished

0:34:19 > 0:34:22he could have made those appointments to. Thank you for

0:34:22 > 0:34:27talking to us. I know that this is really difficult.Thank you it is a

0:34:27 > 0:34:31pleasure.Well, we do have a statement from DPD.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13The Depot did not charge Don.

0:35:31 > 0:35:36Well, let's speak to Kate Bell, who was head of economic policy at the

0:35:36 > 0:35:44trades unions Congress. Good to see you. Really hard to watch Ruth's

0:35:44 > 0:35:48interview, and a difficult time for her. Let's talk about the Taylor

0:35:48 > 0:35:52review on the modern working practices, which the Government

0:35:52 > 0:35:57commissioned Matthew Taylor's report. Due to bring out its

0:35:57 > 0:36:01findings this week. I want to read you one bit. They say that eight MRC

0:36:01 > 0:36:05should take responsibility for forcing the basic set of poor

0:36:05 > 0:36:10deployment of rights that apply to all workers. National minimum wage,

0:36:10 > 0:36:17sick pay, and holiday pay for the lowest paid workers.We do think

0:36:17 > 0:36:21that would be a good step in the right direction. There are too many

0:36:21 > 0:36:25bad employers. We hear from too many people who are missing out on is

0:36:25 > 0:36:28sick pay, whether that is because they have been pushed into forced

0:36:28 > 0:36:32self-employment, or because they do not qualify for that. It is great to

0:36:32 > 0:36:35see that the Government wants to enforce the rights that we do have,

0:36:35 > 0:36:40but too many people do not qualify for sick people, at all. We had from

0:36:40 > 0:36:43zero I was contracts, where one in eight said they were getting any

0:36:43 > 0:36:51sick pay. That would be a start, but there is a lot more to do.There was

0:36:51 > 0:36:55a report specifically on the UK delivery sector, and he said that in

0:36:55 > 0:37:00the working day of a career, delays are commensurate with lower

0:37:00 > 0:37:06earnings.Don's case is absolutely tragic, but unfortunately we do hear

0:37:06 > 0:37:10from people across sectors, and it is not just from carriers, we have

0:37:10 > 0:37:14from care workers, constantly under pressure to meet targets. We hear

0:37:14 > 0:37:17from people in the hospitality industry, not getting their rights

0:37:17 > 0:37:22and protections. This report, the Government is response will for this

0:37:22 > 0:37:24report, really is an opportunity for the Government to say, we are

0:37:24 > 0:37:27listening to these people's stories and we are hearing them, and we want

0:37:27 > 0:37:33to do something about it.As more and more people start to be employed

0:37:33 > 0:37:39in the gig economy, is there going to be in a sense a situation where

0:37:39 > 0:37:46these companies, rubella, whatever it is, say, luck. If you do not like

0:37:46 > 0:37:53terms and conditions, and they are going to take them. The protections

0:37:53 > 0:37:57that come with it are going to be quantified be different as well. We

0:37:57 > 0:38:00just have not had that conversation about whether that is what we want.

0:38:00 > 0:38:05I think that we are pretty sceptical that this is a quantified the

0:38:05 > 0:38:09different way of working. This looks like some old expedition dustup

0:38:09 > 0:38:16anderson new technology platforms. We saw the case with Uber this year.

0:38:16 > 0:38:21I think we have got to be a bit more ambitious and say, because of new

0:38:21 > 0:38:27ways of workers, -- working, people do not qualify for the minimum wage.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31We do need a conversation about that. I think that most people would

0:38:31 > 0:38:36conclude that that is not acceptable.Kate, here in the US, of

0:38:36 > 0:38:40course there have been stories about a lift driver for example, who went

0:38:40 > 0:38:44into labour while she was driving a client, and then drove that guide to

0:38:44 > 0:38:53the hospital. It is held up by Left, look at the fantastic employee! But,

0:38:53 > 0:39:01that undermines the argument in favour of these protections.I don't

0:39:01 > 0:39:05think so. I think most people would be pretty concerned, when they say

0:39:05 > 0:39:10that this person is being forced to work to take me to wherever I am

0:39:10 > 0:39:14going. Most people want the people they work with to say, I know this

0:39:14 > 0:39:17person is getting the right health and safety protections. I know that

0:39:17 > 0:39:23they are being paid the minimum wage...But what I responsibilities

0:39:23 > 0:39:28as a consumer, though. I'm not picking on Amazon. But Amazon, John

0:39:28 > 0:39:32Lewis, Marks & Spencer. They all send them through DPD. They want it

0:39:32 > 0:39:36as quick as possible, and they want it quick. Should they have a

0:39:36 > 0:39:44responsible teacher put higher those who will put best practice... Tenner

0:39:44 > 0:39:47there is irresponsible to four Government here to say we have some

0:39:47 > 0:39:53minimum standards. This just is not OK.It is harder for consumers to

0:39:53 > 0:39:58find out the information. We know that there are great ways that

0:39:58 > 0:40:06people can take action. People get up and say, this is not OK and we

0:40:06 > 0:40:12will fight for our rights, but we do need Government to step into. -- in,

0:40:12 > 0:40:21too.US market are down again today after sustaining losses last week.

0:40:21 > 0:40:27On Friday, the three main US stock markets suffered their biggest fall

0:40:27 > 0:40:33in three years. Investors are nervous that a strengthening job

0:40:33 > 0:40:38market could mean a hike in interest rates. Today is also the day that

0:40:38 > 0:40:49former investment banker was sworn in as...Be used chief negotiator,

0:40:49 > 0:40:53Michel Barnier, has warned the Government that trade barriers will

0:40:53 > 0:40:56happen. Speaking after talks with the Brexit secretary, David Davis,

0:40:56 > 0:41:05Mr Barnier said that the time had come. For the UK to make a choice.

0:41:05 > 0:41:14There has been days of public squalor bowing -- squabbling. Does

0:41:14 > 0:41:18it look more like we are moving to what might be called a hard Brexit

0:41:18 > 0:41:22rather than a soft Brexit? Have the Brexiteers got the upper hand?Well,

0:41:22 > 0:41:31what the Government confirmed today, is that its policy, set out the

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Lancaster house speech, that this country is leaving the single market

0:41:34 > 0:41:37and the customs union, and I think there will be huge economic

0:41:37 > 0:41:43opportunities that the UK when that does happen.You are a former

0:41:43 > 0:41:47Secretary of State for Ireland. What are staying in the customs union

0:41:47 > 0:41:53mean for the Irish border, it's complicated isn't it?The UK

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Government set out some incredible plans as to how we might deal with

0:41:56 > 0:42:00the practicalities of a border to keep... To keep it as free-flowing

0:42:00 > 0:42:04as possible. Whatever the customs relationship is between the UK and

0:42:04 > 0:42:08the EU. I think it is perfectly possible to do that. One of the

0:42:08 > 0:42:15advantages of leaving the EU is to take back control over our trade

0:42:15 > 0:42:19policy, and I believe that the Government is right to confirm, once

0:42:19 > 0:42:24again, that we will be leaving the customs union, so that we can strike

0:42:24 > 0:42:27those trade deals with many important markets around the world.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31To get the sort of deal that people want, a civil service is going to

0:42:31 > 0:42:36have to work doubly hard. Are you one of those politicians that think

0:42:36 > 0:42:43the civil service is biased against Brexit, or is it guilty of...I

0:42:43 > 0:42:47wouldn't describe the civil service in that way. I think it is important

0:42:47 > 0:42:52that they have firm direction from the top. I think, the Prime Minister

0:42:52 > 0:42:55has given that direction on the customs union, today. I think it

0:42:55 > 0:43:00will be important in the coming days, as crucial decisions are made

0:43:00 > 0:43:05about what the Government was the end state to look like. That they

0:43:05 > 0:43:09give firm leadership on that to their civil servants. We have got

0:43:09 > 0:43:11some excellent officials working on this issue. I am sure that they are

0:43:11 > 0:43:15doing their very best to ensure that we have a smooth departure from the

0:43:15 > 0:43:22EU. It is important that the Government provide a lead to all of

0:43:22 > 0:43:26their civil servants.In doing their very best, they come up with reports

0:43:26 > 0:43:31say that in any scenario, Brexit will damage the economy. I am afraid

0:43:31 > 0:43:36--I am afraid that the economic forecasts are very often proven to

0:43:36 > 0:43:40be incorrect. After all, the Government and the Remain campaign

0:43:40 > 0:43:46did produce forecasts saying that there would be some immediate

0:43:46 > 0:43:50economic shock if the country voted to leave. Actually, we've got record

0:43:50 > 0:43:52investment, the lowest an appointment rate for 40 years, and

0:43:52 > 0:43:58the economy has... The fundamentals of the economy are strong. So, what

0:43:58 > 0:44:02ever the Treasury is come up with by way of forecast, I view with a pinch

0:44:02 > 0:44:08of salt, because so often, it is to be incorrect.Thank you very much

0:44:08 > 0:44:15for joining us from Westminster. A 32-year-old man has won his

0:44:15 > 0:44:20challenge against ex-addition to the United States. Lauri Love who has

0:44:20 > 0:44:23Asperger's syndrome is alleged to have carried out a series of cyber

0:44:23 > 0:44:28attacks it to US companies and agencies, including Nasa and the US

0:44:28 > 0:44:33Army.Lawyers argued that he was at risk of killing himself if he was

0:44:33 > 0:44:37sent to the United States. Judges here in the UK said that it would be

0:44:37 > 0:44:48oppressive to sent him to trial in America. Daniela Ralph was there.

0:44:48 > 0:44:54Larry Love described it as annoying away on his soul. The reason I have

0:44:54 > 0:45:01gone through this ordeal is not just to save myself from being kidnapped

0:45:01 > 0:45:05and locked up from a country I never visited, but it is to set a

0:45:05 > 0:45:07precedent whereby this will not happen to other people in the

0:45:07 > 0:45:16future. The Appeal Court judges ruled that Lauri Love was

0:45:16 > 0:45:21vulnerable. Crucially, for his well-being, he needed to be close to

0:45:21 > 0:45:25his parents, here, in Britain. The relief for Lauri Love, his family

0:45:25 > 0:45:29and his supporters is obvious here at court. They believe that this

0:45:29 > 0:45:39decision is just and humane. In a spate of online attacks in 2012, and

0:45:39 > 0:45:452013, Lauri Love is alleged to have hacked into the computer systems of

0:45:45 > 0:45:49several US Government agencies. They include the FBI, and the Department

0:45:49 > 0:45:55of defence. The Federal reserve, America was accidental bank and the

0:45:55 > 0:46:00space agency, Nasa. He was chased by a remaining e-mail address and a

0:46:00 > 0:46:03PayPal account. He has been interviewed here by Britain's

0:46:03 > 0:46:07National Crime Agency, but as yet has not been charged. Today's

0:46:07 > 0:46:11judgment did not rule out a prosecution here in the UK.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Something that his family and his supporters are perpetual. How do you

0:46:14 > 0:46:21feel about the prospect of a trial here in the UK and the possible jail

0:46:21 > 0:46:29time?I do trust a trial in the UK. The chances of me ever being on

0:46:29 > 0:46:37child there were very slim. In the UK we don't pressure people into

0:46:37 > 0:46:42facilitating their own prosecutions. This case has been a strain on the

0:46:42 > 0:46:48his whole family.There is a consensus of agreement of the things

0:46:48 > 0:46:53that really matter. About decency, justice and fairness. I always have

0:46:53 > 0:46:57believed that you live on these islands is to win the lottery of

0:46:57 > 0:47:01life, and what makes Britain great is not about power or might, but the

0:47:01 > 0:47:05fact that it is a great place to live.The United States now has two

0:47:05 > 0:47:11Mac weeks to lodge a request for an appeal here at the UK Supreme Court.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14The crowd prosecution service will also decide whether to bring

0:47:14 > 0:47:19charges. But, despite the remaining uncertainty, this was a day to

0:47:19 > 0:47:23celebrate for Lauri Love. He needs to focus -- he wants to focus now on

0:47:23 > 0:47:28his electoral engineering degree, and is planning to pursue a career

0:47:28 > 0:47:37in cyber security.He was facing 99 years if he was convicted in an

0:47:37 > 0:47:43American jail. He said today that he wanted to set a precedent - a

0:47:43 > 0:47:47president to protect people with autism and Asperger's, which is that

0:47:47 > 0:47:50are not fully understood, and some people applaud him for that, but the

0:47:50 > 0:47:59other side say, is that people who hacked into Nasa, or the CIA need to

0:47:59 > 0:48:02face justice in the United States. They will be worried that the

0:48:02 > 0:48:07precedent that has been set here, says something dangerous to other

0:48:07 > 0:48:10countries, like those in China, Russia, the Americans tried to get

0:48:10 > 0:48:16hold of the crimes that they have committed. YTS. And I guess if you

0:48:16 > 0:48:20spoke to people here, who were critical about the court's ruling,

0:48:20 > 0:48:27they would say, well, how would you feel if it was somebody who had

0:48:27 > 0:48:34hacked out of Moscow all Beijing.It comes down to this issue of how much

0:48:34 > 0:48:38weight to give to the mental health of somebody, if that mental health

0:48:38 > 0:48:43is proven to be beyond the spectrum that might affect average people who

0:48:43 > 0:48:46were in this situation. That is the humane case that the court clearly

0:48:46 > 0:48:51ruled on in favour of the UK, but I do not think there will be very much

0:48:51 > 0:48:58sympathy for Lauri Love here in the US. As you say, this is a dangerous

0:48:58 > 0:49:02precedent that will be watched in Beijing and in Moscow. But the

0:49:02 > 0:49:06likelihood of those people coming to trial is quite low. This is Beyond

0:49:06 > 0:49:12100 Days, and still to come. And all women team complete the crossing of

0:49:12 > 0:49:20Antarctica. They hope that it will inspire others to do the same.A

0:49:20 > 0:49:28white supremacist who planned to carry out a machete attack has been

0:49:28 > 0:49:34convicted of an act of terrorism -- planning an act of terrorism.Ethan

0:49:34 > 0:49:44Stables...

0:49:52 > 0:49:53Ethan Stables, self-confessed neo Nazi.

0:49:53 > 0:49:56For more than six months he planned to carry out an attack.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59He had been homeless in Barrow, and eventually moved into a small

0:49:59 > 0:50:00dilapidated flat in the town.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03Behind his front door last June, he spoke online about how

0:50:03 > 0:50:04he hated gay people.

0:50:04 > 0:50:05He began to amass weapons.

0:50:05 > 0:50:06And recorded this shocking video.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09It's just like gay people, much nicer when they're on fire.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12He told members of a private neo Nazi Facebook group there were Pride

0:50:12 > 0:50:15flags flying over a nearby pub and it was time to turn

0:50:15 > 0:50:16hate into action.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17In a series of increasingly frightening posts,

0:50:17 > 0:50:18Stables revealed his plan.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20"I'm going to war tonight," he told them.

0:50:20 > 0:50:30Some readers encouraged him, but one replied, that's not right, Ethan.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35He posted this reconnaissance poster and signed off:

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Barmaid Katy Bolger was setting up for the night when armed officers,

0:50:38 > 0:50:40tipped off by a Facebook user, rushed in.

0:50:40 > 0:50:41It frightened me.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44I felt like a deer in the headlights, they said there had

0:50:44 > 0:50:46been a terrorist threat made against the pub and this person

0:50:46 > 0:50:50was going to come in while the event was on and basically harm people.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53I was so angry afterwards to think someone would actually do something

0:50:53 > 0:50:56like that to a peaceful place.

0:50:56 > 0:50:59With the armed police over there, the manhunt across Barrow continued

0:50:59 > 0:51:01and shortly after 10pm Ethan Stables was arrested on this road,

0:51:01 > 0:51:03between his flat and the target.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05The prosecutor said this was his last act of reconnaissance

0:51:05 > 0:51:07before he would have gone home to get his weapons.

0:51:07 > 0:51:11This is what police recorded finding after they broke into his flat -

0:51:11 > 0:51:13a swastika flag on the wall, weapons including an axe

0:51:13 > 0:51:15laid out and prepared, evidence that Stables was trying

0:51:15 > 0:51:16to make his own explosives.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19It would have been a bloodbath, no getting away from that.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21I just wish it was taken more seriously...

0:51:21 > 0:51:24Lee Wicks runs the LGBT support group that was the target and said

0:51:24 > 0:51:27the far right are once more becoming emboldened as they go unchallenged

0:51:27 > 0:51:28on social media.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30Personally I think Facebook should have closed his account.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33I was quite horrified to see his main picture was him

0:51:33 > 0:51:35looking very Aryan in front of a swastika banner, flag,

0:51:35 > 0:51:37and the literature was very extreme Nazi propaganda.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39Facebook has not commented on why Stables remained online,

0:51:39 > 0:51:41despite at least four complaints against him.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43During his defence he claimed he never meant his words

0:51:43 > 0:51:45and that he was in fact bisexual.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47His conviction today for preparing an act of terrorism means

0:51:47 > 0:51:49he could face a life sentence.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Since the end of the Cold War, it has been argued that the elected

0:51:52 > 0:51:54Government have been those to cause because it breakdowns. In the US, we

0:51:54 > 0:51:56have seen a suspicion raised in the institutions that underpinned the

0:51:56 > 0:51:59states such as the FBI.So, are we witnessing a gradual undermining of

0:51:59 > 0:52:01democracy, itself. Thanks very much for coming on the programme. This is

0:52:01 > 0:52:06very topical at the moment. Donald Trump is criticised for attacking a

0:52:06 > 0:52:11number of institutions in the United States. Principally, the media, and

0:52:11 > 0:52:17of course be caught, as well.That is right. It is part of a global way

0:52:17 > 0:52:26that we are studying in this book. Me and my co-writer examine this

0:52:26 > 0:52:30round the world.The argument in the America though is that institutions

0:52:30 > 0:52:37will protect institutions from someone like Donald Trump is that

0:52:37 > 0:52:46true?Well yes. We generally see America as a stable democracy. There

0:52:46 > 0:52:49are many reasons to be optimistic about the US. In particular, we see

0:52:49 > 0:52:58a wrap Democratic Alliance vision of the Republican party --

0:52:58 > 0:53:03radicalisation of the Republican party.You could say that it was not

0:53:03 > 0:53:09Donald Trump who started this. The root of the sort of part of --

0:53:09 > 0:53:11partisan ship that we have seen in America came well before Donald

0:53:11 > 0:53:18Trump?Definitely, the problem is deeper than Donald Trump. In the

0:53:18 > 0:53:21early 1990s, there have been increased polarisation of the

0:53:21 > 0:53:25parties. They began to hate each other. Evidence in the opinion

0:53:25 > 0:53:29surveys as well as in everyday politics. As Democratic opposition

0:53:29 > 0:53:37focuses on Donald Trump, perhaps too narrowly. There are problems as

0:53:37 > 0:53:40well.What we have seen in Eastern Europe, is a few governments that

0:53:40 > 0:53:45have been elected that had to be from populist nationalist movements.

0:53:45 > 0:53:50Would you say that what is happening in the east of Europe is a

0:53:50 > 0:53:54reflection of the fact that those institutions are not as robust as

0:53:54 > 0:53:58they might be in other Western countries?I think that is right.

0:53:58 > 0:54:03The US has this system of checks and balances. The US federal system also

0:54:03 > 0:54:06played a role in constraining authoritarian tendencies, so one

0:54:06 > 0:54:15have a Parliamentary system... With a majority, you could dramatically

0:54:15 > 0:54:23revamped rules, like in Hungary, but this is much harder to do in the

0:54:23 > 0:54:28United States.Do you think that the US institutions that are under

0:54:28 > 0:54:33attack at the moment are a direct the damage, or after centuries of

0:54:33 > 0:54:38existence, will they survive the current onslaught?We really think

0:54:38 > 0:54:44that the US is in a much better position. Because of the age of the

0:54:44 > 0:54:48democracy, the vibrancy of civil society, the national wealth... They

0:54:48 > 0:54:51are more likely to survive challenges and political crises. The

0:54:51 > 0:54:55US is in a much better condition, and in many ways... Although the

0:54:55 > 0:55:00name of our book is how democracies die, we do not think democracy is

0:55:00 > 0:55:08dead in the US. There are these ominous echoes, other countries in

0:55:08 > 0:55:12around the world, Venezuela, Turkey, where people come to power through

0:55:12 > 0:55:16elections, and then once in power tried to dismantle those elections.

0:55:16 > 0:55:20Thank you so much for joining us from Harvard. Very glad to hear that

0:55:20 > 0:55:24democracy is not dead. Six women from the British Army have become

0:55:24 > 0:55:31the largest all-female group to ski coast across Antarctica. The

0:55:31 > 0:55:38so-called Ice Maiden team tackled winds of up to 60 mph. They were

0:55:38 > 0:55:42expected to take between 75 and 92 days. But, they managed to do it in

0:55:42 > 0:55:59just 62 days. The PDB jelly to the top short call -- the trip to the

0:55:59 > 0:56:02south pole.That is it from
