0:00:11 > 0:00:12Jacob Zuma plays hard to oust
0:00:12 > 0:00:16in South Africa but his hours in power appear numbered.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19In a rambling television interview he says he's done nothing wrong
0:00:19 > 0:00:26and is being victimised.
0:00:26 > 0:00:33We're being plunged into crisis. But I'm sure my comrades, my leaders,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35would regret.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Two scandals engulf the White House - one involves a porn star,
0:00:38 > 0:00:39the other an alleged wife beater.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40We'll cover both.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Boris Johnson says Brexit is a reason for hope not fear -
0:00:43 > 0:00:45calling it the liberal project of the age.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47This Valentine's day, we get tips from the experts
0:00:47 > 0:00:49on how to make love last.
0:00:49 > 0:00:59Get in touch with us using the hashtag 'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Hello and welcome - I'm Katty Kay in Washington.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Hours after police raided his home Jacob Zuma of South Africa gave
0:01:14 > 0:01:17along television interview protesting his innocence.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20He's has come under increasing pressure to step down amid numerous
0:01:20 > 0:01:21allegations of corruption.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Our Africa Editor, Fergal Keane, sent this report from Pretoria.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26In Pretoria, seat of the presidency, rumours rippled all morning.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The president might be about to resign.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But when he did speak to the state broadcaster it was a defiant,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34defensive appearance.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Zuma, the victim.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39What have I done?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I have explained many times that this process,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45there is nothing I have done wrong.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47This is policy.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51What people are suggesting is the youth phenomenon.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53What is the problem?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And there was some unsettling language.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58A warning to those who were ousting him.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03The leadership of the ANC, if it is not careful,
0:02:03 > 0:02:08they might actually cause a bigger problem than we think.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12At the same time in Cape Town, ANC MPs were meeting to decide
0:02:12 > 0:02:14whether they would support a motion of no-confidence to
0:02:14 > 0:02:17drive Jacob Zuma from power.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The decision came quickly and was decisive.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22We are now proceeding, we have asked the Chief Whip
0:02:22 > 0:02:27to proceed with a motion of no-confidence tomorrow.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30So that President Zuma is then removed, so that we can proceed
0:02:30 > 0:02:35to elect President Ramaphosa.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Pressure had been growing on the President from early morning.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40This was a police raid on the compound of his friends,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the Gupta family, who are accused of acquiring billions in state
0:02:43 > 0:02:48assets through their connections with the president and his family.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Seemingly untouchable until now, criminal charges may be imminent.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54If ever you wanted proof of the changed political
0:02:54 > 0:02:57temperature, this is it.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01The police seem at last to have found their courage.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04So straight on, down here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06This neighbour giving police the address of
0:03:06 > 0:03:07another Gupta property.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09People are angry.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12This is the headquarters of South Africa's executive branch,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15the place from which Jacob Zuma has ruled the country for
0:03:15 > 0:03:16the last nine years.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19But by tomorrow night, in all likelihood, South Africa
0:03:19 > 0:03:22will have a new president.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24These are the dying hours of the age of Zuma.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30Fergal Keane, BBC News, Pretoria.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36Let's speak to the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Pretoria.
0:03:36 > 0:03:43Jacob Zuma saying he has done nothing wrong and he is a victim.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45The ANC saying by Freddie Woodward could be swearing in a new
0:03:45 > 0:03:53president. What will happen between now and Friday?-- the ANC saying by
0:03:53 > 0:04:01Friday. Well the ANC seems to have an ace up their sleeve, if the
0:04:01 > 0:04:05president does not resign by end of business today they are prepared to
0:04:05 > 0:04:08table the motion of no-confidence tomorrow in Parliament. And the ANC
0:04:08 > 0:04:11has the majority of seats in parliament and also opposition
0:04:11 > 0:04:16parties have indicated their winning to vote with the ANC on this. So
0:04:16 > 0:04:19tomorrow we will be seeing a united effort between the ANC and
0:04:19 > 0:04:26opposition parties to get Jacob Zuma out by Friday and bring in their new
0:04:26 > 0:04:30guy.So the interview today from Jacob Zuma, was that a bid knowing
0:04:30 > 0:04:39that he is going to try to restore his legacy somehow?That was a very
0:04:39 > 0:04:41bizarre interview, many people saying they do not understand why he
0:04:41 > 0:04:47seems confused, he spent nearly an hour explaining that he feels he has
0:04:47 > 0:04:52done nothing wrong. He played the victim, some people have said, he
0:04:52 > 0:04:56insists he has been targeted. So very much some people say it was an
0:04:56 > 0:05:01opportunity to take the country into his confidence but instead coming
0:05:01 > 0:05:04across as defined in someone completely out of touch with what
0:05:04 > 0:05:07South Africans want to see happen and people within his own party have
0:05:07 > 0:05:15been demanding should happen.Thank you very much. We will be watching,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19a big moment of transition there.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22We couldn't decide where to start on White House news today -
0:05:22 > 0:05:25with the story about the porn star of the latest on the
0:05:25 > 0:05:26alleged wife beater.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So here's what's new on Rob Porter - the House Oversight Committee
0:05:29 > 0:05:31today announced it's going to investigate how this
0:05:31 > 0:05:41White House aide got through the vetting process.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50And now the lawyer for Mr Trump said he paid a porn star a lot of money
0:05:50 > 0:05:58before the election in 2016. He said he used his own funds to facilitate
0:05:58 > 0:06:05the payment to Mr Stephanie Clifford who goes under the stage name of
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Stormy Daniels. She claims to have had an affair with Mr Trump, a
0:06:10 > 0:06:14charge he denies. Mr Cohen says now that the Trump administration or the
0:06:14 > 0:06:18campaign know about the transaction but the statement raises questions
0:06:18 > 0:06:26not to mention the odd eyebrow. Here to help us sort it out is Ron
0:06:26 > 0:06:35Christie. You a lawyer, do you often make payments of to somebody as if
0:06:35 > 0:06:41you do, I would love to hear it!Not on Valentine's Day, I want my wife
0:06:41 > 0:06:46to stay married to me! This is so unusual and the language used by the
0:06:46 > 0:06:50law is strategic and careful. Not saying they're admitting guilt or
0:06:50 > 0:06:54innocence but just the settlement payment that has nothing to do with
0:06:54 > 0:06:58the Trump organisation or Donald Trump. Really? I think there is more
0:06:58 > 0:07:06fired than smoke here. A 130,000 dollar payment before the election,
0:07:06 > 0:07:11trouble.I'm tempted to say just another day in the White House! But
0:07:11 > 0:07:16this is not normal by the standards of most administrations here in the
0:07:16 > 0:07:21US.None of this. I think if you deleted the name Donald Trump and
0:07:21 > 0:07:27instead of the name of any other president, of the previous 44, and
0:07:27 > 0:07:34that there has been a pay-out to a porn star of $130,000, a can of
0:07:34 > 0:07:37scandal about someone alleged to have beaten his two previous wives
0:07:37 > 0:07:41and why the White House was not able to clear this up properly and still
0:07:41 > 0:07:45has not. This has been going on now for a week. It is extraordinary. And
0:07:45 > 0:07:49if this statement from Michael Cohen, the long-standing law of
0:07:49 > 0:07:55Donald Trump, was meant to clear up any doubts about Stormy Daniels, why
0:07:55 > 0:07:59was the payment made. Have other payments being made of a similar
0:07:59 > 0:08:03nature. Stormy Daniels previously alleged relationship with Donald
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Trump and said that is not true any more, what she paid for a
0:08:07 > 0:08:11non-disclosure agreement. There are a pile of questions that are
0:08:11 > 0:08:15relevant for people to say you are focusing on the big issues of the
0:08:15 > 0:08:20day, I'm sorry, payment to a former porn star of $130,000, a month
0:08:20 > 0:08:24before the election, were you not to be covering that you would not be
0:08:24 > 0:08:31doing your job.I have a few questions about that as well, what a
0:08:31 > 0:08:35name, Stormy Daniels. And that is what my friends the vice president
0:08:35 > 0:08:39has said about the handling of the other case, the issue of Rob Porter
0:08:39 > 0:08:43accused of beating his wife and now of course let go from the White
0:08:43 > 0:08:47House.This administration has no
0:08:47 > 0:08:52tolerance for domestic violence. Nor should any American. As I said and
0:08:52 > 0:08:57as the White House has said, I think the White House could have handled
0:08:57 > 0:09:04it better.So why has Mr Trump said exactly those words?You got me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09First of all the vice president, the White House is building and is not a
0:09:09 > 0:09:13person so when you said the White House it is the president who has
0:09:13 > 0:09:22not handled properly. -- handled it properly. He should have said you
0:09:22 > 0:09:24will be fired immediately if these allegations are lodged against you
0:09:24 > 0:09:28but this is what happens when you have people in the White House who
0:09:28 > 0:09:33are not political experts and trying to manage a storm.Why can the White
0:09:33 > 0:09:39House not get its facts straight on this?Again to give you the same
0:09:39 > 0:09:42answer, it is beyond me. You will thought the key players would sit
0:09:42 > 0:09:46down and think what is the timeline, let's be straight forward and that
0:09:46 > 0:09:50there be no further questions, full disclosure and then we move on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Instead of which you had varying disclosures about what was known and
0:09:54 > 0:09:57when it was known and that always arouses suspicion of journalists.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02You had the of staff John Kelly telling Wall Street Journal we did
0:10:02 > 0:10:07things right. You now have the vice president saying no we did not. And
0:10:07 > 0:10:10so you're still left with contradictory accounts and the house
0:10:10 > 0:10:15oversight committee saying we will have to look into this. This is a
0:10:15 > 0:10:19story, no one realistically outside of a very small circle had heard of
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Rob Porter, I doubt he was a household name in his own household
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and suddenly now what we have been talking about for a week. And the
0:10:27 > 0:10:41only distraction we have is Tech three. -- is Stormy Daniels.Take
0:10:41 > 0:10:45your pick of scandals and as we have said any other White House and this
0:10:45 > 0:10:49would have been huge headline news and yet as we said earlier when it
0:10:49 > 0:10:54comes to Donald Trump it is like, yes, of course.Just another day in
0:10:54 > 0:10:59the neighbourhood, just Donald Trump being Donald Trump or stop the
0:10:59 > 0:11:02reality TV star on the highest state in the world. If this had been
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Barack Obama or President Bush you would have had people on either side
0:11:06 > 0:11:09of the political divide saying impeachment, investigation. But
0:11:09 > 0:11:17Donald Trump it is like, what else is new.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20It's hard not to have sympathy for lawmakers who are trying to get
0:11:20 > 0:11:23things done on Capitol Hill but instead have all
0:11:23 > 0:11:24this to deal with.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26A brief time ago I spoke with Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You know, when chaos goes on, it is always
0:11:28 > 0:11:30harder to get a job done.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Because you want people really focused on what we see something
0:11:32 > 0:11:34incredibly important with the mid-term elections
0:11:34 > 0:11:39in America only 264 days away.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And that is that we need to not make ourselves as vulnerable
0:11:42 > 0:11:43to foreign interference, specifically Russian
0:11:43 > 0:11:46interference, in our election.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51And all six intelligence chiefs including the CIA and the FBI
0:11:51 > 0:11:54from the Trump administration testified under oath that in fact
0:11:54 > 0:11:56they believe that Russia is going to try this again
0:11:56 > 0:12:00and that they actually could be bolder.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And that is the words of the National intelligence director.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07And yet the president has not yet held a Cabinet level
0:12:07 > 0:12:08meeting on this issue.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11To what extent does this actually have to come from the President
0:12:11 > 0:12:14on down rather than just relying on the intelligence communities
0:12:14 > 0:12:16to stop this from happening again?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Exactly, this involves so many different agencies.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23It involves Homeland security for infrastructure,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27it involves election assistance, it involves the Justice Department.
0:12:27 > 0:12:37And that is why when they admit it, and I appreciate the honesty
0:12:37 > 0:12:39that there really had not been any inter-agency work,
0:12:39 > 0:12:40that is really troubling.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43And that is why Republican Senator Langford and I have stepped
0:12:43 > 0:12:44into this void along with Senator Harris
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and Senator Lindsey Graham and said at least let's put some short-term
0:12:47 > 0:12:50funding to help this state to bolster their election equipment,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53to get paper back-up audit so that in fact if you have a paper ballot,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57you're able to have a back-up in case there is a hack.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01And also that we designate people in each state that can get
0:13:01 > 0:13:02immediate information, classified information,
0:13:02 > 0:13:08from Homeland security if they see hacks developing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09There are 21 different states where the Russians
0:13:10 > 0:13:11attempted to hack in.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So while you and your colleagues are doing this important work
0:13:13 > 0:13:16in the Senate, the house oversight committee has now said
0:13:16 > 0:13:19it is going to investigate the security clearance process
0:13:19 > 0:13:21for Rob Porter, the aide who was accused by both his
0:13:22 > 0:13:25wives of beating them.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28How concerned are you that somebody is working in the White House
0:13:28 > 0:13:31in this way, close to the president, who had not got security clearance
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and perhaps for these reasons?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Well, of course I'm concerned.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41This is a very important position and the first story was heard,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44that it was just taking too long which made no sense to me
0:13:44 > 0:13:47because yes, there is a backlog and we need to work on that,
0:13:47 > 0:13:57but for certain key positions at the highest levels,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59you can triage those and do those faster.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02We see it with US attorneys all the time, we see it with federal
0:14:02 > 0:14:04judges all the time, three months, four months
0:14:04 > 0:14:05or things like that.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And so then we heard the truth yesterday from Christopher Wray,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10the FBI director, who in fact testified that this was done
0:14:10 > 0:14:11basically last spring.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15And so now they have another answer to give us and that is how did this
0:14:15 > 0:14:18happen because you do not have all these people on temporary
0:14:18 > 0:14:20clearance when you want to have them have actual clearance.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Do you think the White House didn't want to know?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I have no idea, I cannot read their minds.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I just know again this is contributing to the chaos
0:14:28 > 0:14:32when we have the Dream Act right in front of us, with a deadline,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34or 800,000 kids are going to be deported.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37As well as dealing with the immediacy of the budget
0:14:37 > 0:14:42and what we just discussed, the threats to our election.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Thank you very much for joining me.
0:14:44 > 0:14:51Thank you, it's great to be on.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Boris Johnson has made a characteristically counter
0:14:53 > 0:14:57intuitive argument for Brexit, calling it the liberal
0:14:57 > 0:14:58project of our age.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Since the vote to leave the EU is often seen
0:15:01 > 0:15:03as part of the populist, nationalist wave that brought
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Donald Trump to power, it was a noteworthy twist.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08The foreign secretary said he recognised the feelings of grief
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and alienation amongst those who wanted Britain to remain
0:15:11 > 0:15:18in the EU, but he urged people to stay positive.
0:15:18 > 0:15:26I said to my Remainer friends, actually quite numerous bunch of
0:15:26 > 0:15:31them remaining, more people voted for Brexit than have ever voted for
0:15:31 > 0:15:36anything in the history of this country. And I just say in all
0:15:36 > 0:15:42candour if there were to be a second vote I really think it would be
0:15:42 > 0:15:45another year of turmoil and wrangling and feuding in which the
0:15:45 > 0:15:48whole country would be the loser.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50In a press conference following the speech,
0:15:50 > 0:15:51European Commission President Jen-Claude Juncker was asked
0:15:51 > 0:15:58about a reference Boris Johnson had made to the 'European Super-state'.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04Some in the British political society are against the truth,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07pretending that I am a stupid, stubborn Federalist.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09That I am in favour of a European superstate.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I'm strictly against a European superstate.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15We're not the United States of America.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We are the European Union.
0:16:17 > 0:16:25Which is a rich body because we have these 27, 28 nations.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27The European Union cannot be built against European nations.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32So this is total nonsense.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I'm joined now from Brussels by the Economist's Europe
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Correspondent Tom Nuttall and from Westminster by our Chief
0:16:36 > 0:16:43Political Correspondent Vicki Young.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49Let me start with Westminster, the UK position on Brexit, is it any
0:16:49 > 0:16:55clearer after the landmark speech by Boris Johnson?He did speak about
0:16:55 > 0:16:58the transitional implementation period, the time after we leave at
0:16:58 > 0:17:02the end of March next year when subject to negotiation there will be
0:17:02 > 0:17:06a period of time where nothing much changes. And he clarified his
0:17:06 > 0:17:11position on that saying although he was making the broader argument for
0:17:11 > 0:17:15divergence from the European Union, during that particular time he would
0:17:15 > 0:17:25be perfectly happy for the UK to abide by EU law. So some
0:17:25 > 0:17:27clarification on that but generally this is what Downing Street
0:17:27 > 0:17:30described as a rallying cry. It felt at times like the speeches that
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Boris Johnson made as he went around the country on the famous Boris bus
0:17:33 > 0:17:39as it became known. It was similar to all of that. It was this note of
0:17:39 > 0:17:42optimism saying there are great opportunities out there and nothing
0:17:42 > 0:17:46to be fearful about. But no detail. Downing Street would say this is the
0:17:46 > 0:17:51first in a series of speeches and we will hear from Theresa May at the
0:17:51 > 0:17:54weekend when she makes a big speech in Munich on security. And the
0:17:54 > 0:17:59number of other speeches as well or more detail will be laid out. But
0:17:59 > 0:18:01certainly some of the Conservative Party are still frustrated because
0:18:01 > 0:18:05the answers to some of the difficult practical questions we still do not
0:18:05 > 0:18:15have.And what about the reaction from Brussels? Will this speech have
0:18:15 > 0:18:23any impact?In a word, no. I think the feeling here is they have seen
0:18:23 > 0:18:27enough speech-making in London from the various different factions in
0:18:27 > 0:18:32the Conservative Party and what they have been waiting for since the last
0:18:32 > 0:18:36phase of negotiations in December is a specific concrete negotiating
0:18:36 > 0:18:39stance from the British Government that they can get their teeth into
0:18:39 > 0:18:45so they can begin to negotiate the future relationship. In March, next
0:18:45 > 0:18:48month, the European Council, the heads of government of the EU will
0:18:48 > 0:18:53produce guidelines for that next phase of negotiations. And one
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Eurocrat said to me if they do not start hearing soon from the UK about
0:18:57 > 0:19:01what the government wants in these negotiations then they will simply
0:19:01 > 0:19:07have their position written for them by Europe.Well it sounds as if they
0:19:07 > 0:19:11will get a whole round of other speeches. Did they see this speech
0:19:11 > 0:19:15by Boris Johnson really about being about the Brexit process or just
0:19:15 > 0:19:20about Boris Johnson and his own political ambitions?Safety say I
0:19:20 > 0:19:24think it is the latter. Boris Johnson is a man who less than two
0:19:24 > 0:19:30years ago compared the EU ambitions to those of Napoleon or Hitler so
0:19:30 > 0:19:34he's not blogged on a specially kindly here. Reddish politics is
0:19:34 > 0:19:39followed closely here as you would imagine. The Brexit negotiators are
0:19:39 > 0:19:43familiar with the position occupied by Boris Johnson in the British
0:19:43 > 0:19:48political firmament and also who is likely to listen to him. They know
0:19:48 > 0:19:52there's a big divide in the UK on this issue and people on the
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Redmayne side the debate are unlikely to pay much attention to
0:19:57 > 0:20:04Boris Johnson. So from that you draw the conclusion that Boris Johnson is
0:20:04 > 0:20:08talking about Boris Johnson.That is certainly how it is seen here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14Classic Boris, a lot of colourful remarks about not going back to a
0:20:14 > 0:20:17diet of spam and cabbage. A lot of praise for two May, he kept
0:20:17 > 0:20:23referring to his friend Theresa May and yet if this is as Tom suggested
0:20:23 > 0:20:27about his own political ambitions, what is the subtext?I think a lot
0:20:27 > 0:20:31of this will be about Boris Johnson simply because of the fact that he
0:20:31 > 0:20:36was the face of the Leave campaign. No doubt about that. He was the one
0:20:36 > 0:20:42who went round the country on a bus emblazoned with the promise to bring
0:20:42 > 0:20:44back thousands of pounds for the National Health Service, the Brexit
0:20:44 > 0:20:49dividend as he called it. He now acknowledges that money might have
0:20:49 > 0:20:53to be split among some other things as well such as housing. But I think
0:20:53 > 0:20:58that he wants to get over this optimistic vision, he did not say
0:20:58 > 0:21:03they had not been enough of that but he certainly feels that. That we got
0:21:03 > 0:21:07so caught up in the process that there is no one talking about the
0:21:07 > 0:21:10bigger global vision that the UK will not be inward looking but
0:21:10 > 0:21:15outward looking. That is about making our way in the whole world
0:21:15 > 0:21:20and making the most of these opportunities out there. That
0:21:20 > 0:21:22certainly has been something that has been missing at the partly
0:21:22 > 0:21:30because Theresa May was perhaps on the remain side. But I think what he
0:21:30 > 0:21:35does is that he brings that sense of confidence and optimism but of
0:21:35 > 0:21:39course it is answers that people are after and I think the crucial factor
0:21:39 > 0:21:44here is just over a year away from leaving. And if you're running a
0:21:44 > 0:21:48business in the UK or in the EU you will want to know some of the
0:21:48 > 0:21:51answers to these difficult questions about customs unions, about single
0:21:51 > 0:21:58market and also EU citizens, about nailing down exactly what happens.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03So all of that still needs to be decided. But the friends of Boris
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Johnson would say that is not what today was all about.Thank you very
0:22:06 > 0:22:15much. Some other stories making the headlines around the world. An

0:23:01 > 0:23:05These are some of the keys to having a long and happy relationship -
0:23:05 > 0:23:10according to four couples who have become experts on the matter.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It's give and take, isn't it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Jean gives, and I take!
0:24:35 > 0:24:42I love that. I think part of that is humour. Ron Christie, what do you
0:24:42 > 0:24:47think. They were all laughing together. I think I drive my husband
0:24:47 > 0:24:50mad and sometimes he drives me mad but at least he makes me laugh a
0:24:50 > 0:24:54lot.No question, I think you're lucky when you get to marry your
0:24:54 > 0:24:59best friend. You're going to laugh and cry together and have fun.So
0:24:59 > 0:25:06what did you give your wife for Valentine's Day?Since she is in
0:25:06 > 0:25:08California today we're celebrating on Friday but there are a lot of
0:25:08 > 0:25:14flowers and a lot of romance coming up this Friday.I think you should
0:25:14 > 0:25:18send some of that my direction! My husband gave me a card and I will
0:25:18 > 0:25:23buy him flowers on the way home, a little bit remiss of me but I
0:25:23 > 0:25:26promise there will be something. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45are complaining too much about the cold weather at the Olympics -
0:25:45 > 0:25:46we'll hear from the man himself.
0:25:46 > 0:25:56That's still to come.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Good evening. It has been another day of rain for some and snow for
0:26:15 > 0:26:21others. The weather Watchers have been capturing the scenes, this from
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Aberdeenshire with quite a lot of snow. Further south it was mainly
0:26:25 > 0:26:30rain and fairly happy at that. In Worcestershire for example. You can
0:26:30 > 0:26:36see this area of cloud that has been bringing snow to northern areas and
0:26:36 > 0:26:41rain further south. All tied up with this area of low pressure to the
0:26:41 > 0:26:45North West. Going through the evening we slowly pushed the wet
0:26:45 > 0:26:52weather away from eastern parts of England. Behind that some clearer
0:26:52 > 0:26:56skies, wintry showers in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Temperatures
0:26:56 > 0:27:01close to freezing although not as cold further south. And that theme
0:27:01 > 0:27:05continues tomorrow. Low pressure up to the North West, and North
0:27:05 > 0:27:10westerly wind in northern areas so still some cold air but a subtle
0:27:10 > 0:27:15change in the wind direction down towards the south bringing some
0:27:15 > 0:27:19milder air across southern areas. As well as the milder air we have quite
0:27:19 > 0:27:25a lot of sunshine through the day. Just the deflating Sharon possible.
0:27:25 > 0:27:34More showers as you look further north, one across parts of Wales.
0:27:34 > 0:27:42These showers could be wintry. In the West of Scotland once again some
0:27:42 > 0:27:47significant snow over the higher ground. And the wind pretty brisk
0:27:47 > 0:27:51across north-western areas as well. Chile in the north, five or 6
0:27:51 > 0:27:58degrees for Glasgow and Aberdeen but further south, nine, ten or 11. On
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Friday high-pressure in the South West will have an influence on
0:28:02 > 0:28:06southern parts of the British Isles. Across much of England and Wales
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Friday looks like a dry day with goods for the sunshine. But we
0:28:11 > 0:28:14continue to seek showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland and
0:28:14 > 0:28:19hill snow as well. Becoming a bit more persistent into the afternoon.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Still pretty mild in the South and even further north temperatures
0:28:23 > 0:28:27creeping up a little bit. The mild weather spreads further north
0:28:27 > 0:28:30heading into the weekend. A lot of dry weather around but the chance of
0:28:30 > 0:28:33some rain in places on Sunday.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37for complaining about the cold - we'll hear from the man himself.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Right now, the United States is in the grips of one of the worst
0:30:53 > 0:30:55flu seasons in a decade, and it's not over yet.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58At least 63 children have died from the illness and tens
0:30:58 > 0:31:00of thousands have been hospitalized.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Across the border in Canada, 130 deaths are being blamed on the flu.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05So what is making this season so intense and what
0:31:05 > 0:31:08precautions can be taken?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Joining me now is Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute
0:31:11 > 0:31:18of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
0:31:18 > 0:31:29Thank you for joining me. How bad is this flu season?It is very bad.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Looking at the time from when we started recording these kinds of
0:31:34 > 0:31:40numbers, it clearly is the worst seasonal flu we have had so far.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43There have been more hospitalisations, there has been
0:31:43 > 0:31:47more serious disease, more widespread disease than we have
0:31:47 > 0:31:54seen. At first it resembled the 2014-15 seasonal flu, but in the
0:31:54 > 0:32:00last few weeks it has surpassed that in intensity and seriousness.And I
0:32:00 > 0:32:06would assume it still has a few more weeks to run?We were hoping that
0:32:06 > 0:32:11the last report would've shown her plateau, but to our dismay the last
0:32:11 > 0:32:17report that came out shows that it is still escalating. Hopefully in
0:32:17 > 0:32:21the next couple of weeks we will see a turning around but it is still on
0:32:21 > 0:32:27the way up.What symptoms are people suffering from, what should we watch
0:32:27 > 0:32:33out for?Influenza is a unique infection. People get upper
0:32:33 > 0:32:35respiratory infections and incorrectly said they have the flu
0:32:35 > 0:32:41when they have some sneezing is, some coughing, some upper
0:32:41 > 0:32:46respiratory problems. The flu is the stomach disease. When you get
0:32:46 > 0:32:50influenza you know you have that, you have aches, pains, high fever
0:32:50 > 0:32:57and you feel almost like you got hit by a truck. You feel like you really
0:32:57 > 0:33:03need to get to bed. You get respiratory symptoms, but the real
0:33:03 > 0:33:06component of influenza that distinguishes it from a normal
0:33:06 > 0:33:13respiratory infection is the systemic nature, the fever, the
0:33:13 > 0:33:18chills, the aches and pains.Does the vaccine, and a lot of people now
0:33:18 > 0:33:25get the flu vaccine, has it not helped with this particular strand?
0:33:25 > 0:33:30It does help, but that isn't optimal. It is always better to get
0:33:30 > 0:33:34vaccinated than not get vaccinated because some degree of protection is
0:33:34 > 0:33:38better than none. If you look at what we are starting to see, we
0:33:38 > 0:33:45don't know until the end of the year, but the vaccine efficacy does
0:33:45 > 0:33:51not seem to be optimal, it is rather low.Why don't we know what kind of
0:33:51 > 0:34:04vaccine to produce a particular year's strand of flu this --?We had
0:34:04 > 0:34:09mishap something happened this year that's... Most of the vaccine that
0:34:09 > 0:34:13is distributed in the knighted States and Canada is made by growing
0:34:13 > 0:34:19the virus in eggs so that we can make it into a vaccine. What
0:34:19 > 0:34:23happened this year is that when the virus was put into the eggs to make
0:34:23 > 0:34:29it for a vaccine in order to adapt itself to growing well in eggs the
0:34:29 > 0:34:35virus mutated. That is not unexpected, but this time it mutated
0:34:35 > 0:34:38and that part of the virus that is essential to induce protection with
0:34:38 > 0:34:45the vaccine. It turned out to be an accidental mismatch because the
0:34:45 > 0:34:49virus for one reason or another mutated in a way that made it not
0:34:49 > 0:34:54very well matched to what you wanted in the vaccine.Thank you very much
0:34:54 > 0:35:00for joining me. I'm so glad we could it covered the story because there
0:35:00 > 0:35:11have been really bad pictures, hospitals overwhelmed. I didn't get
0:35:11 > 0:35:14the flu shot but I wish I had.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16The Kremlin has denied any knowledge of Russian
0:35:16 > 0:35:19mercenaries fighting in Syria, after a number of its citizens
0:35:19 > 0:35:21were among those killed in a US-led airstrike in the east
0:35:21 > 0:35:22of the country.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24America says it killed more than a hundred fighters
0:35:24 > 0:35:26in the strikes last week.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28The Russian mercenaries are said to have been hired
0:35:28 > 0:35:29by private military firms, backing Syrian
0:35:29 > 0:35:30pro-government troops.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Just two months ago, Vladimir Putin flew to Syria
0:35:35 > 0:35:36to declare mission accomplished.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39He told his troops the motherland was proud of them, and ordered
0:35:39 > 0:35:44many of the soldiers home.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46But Russians are still fighting in Syria.
0:35:46 > 0:35:54And it's not just their regular forces who are suffering casualties.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57These men are amongst what is reported to be a large group
0:35:57 > 0:36:00of Russian mercenaries who were killed in the Syrian
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Serbian province of Deir Ezzor one week ago, the result of air
0:36:02 > 0:36:09and artillery strikes by the US-led coalition.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Among those killed was Stanislav Matveyev.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12He went to fight in eastern Ukraine, and was then
0:36:12 > 0:36:17hired to fight in Syria.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20"They were sent into battle like animals,
0:36:20 > 0:36:21without any protection", his widow says.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24"The Russian government should seek revenge for the sake of the wives
0:36:24 > 0:36:31and their children".
0:36:31 > 0:36:33And what's the Kremlin saying about this?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Not much.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38And the reason the Kremlin has made little comment about this
0:36:38 > 0:36:40is that the Russian authorities have never spoken before publicly
0:36:40 > 0:36:42about Russian mercenaries in Syria, or about the private military
0:36:42 > 0:36:52companies believed to be recruiting them.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56And that's why these reports of casualties
0:36:56 > 0:36:57are so embarrassing for Moscow.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Presidential candidate Grigory Yavlinsky says
0:36:58 > 0:37:00the mercenaries have no legal basis for being in Syria,
0:37:00 > 0:37:06and are a danger to Russia.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09When you have in the country some structures which are almost
0:37:09 > 0:37:11military structures, and you have no control on them,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14it's dangerous for the country, it's dangerous for the people,
0:37:14 > 0:37:18it's even dangerous for the president.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Up till now, this has been the public face of Russia's
0:37:21 > 0:37:24military operation in Syria.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43Ms Campbell says studies show it's true.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45But it hasn't stopped some of the world's most
0:38:45 > 0:38:50influential women from putting their arms on display.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Well, for more, I'm joined now from New York by Izzy Grinspan.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33She's a Senior Editor at New York Magazine's
0:39:33 > 0:39:39fashion section The Cut.
0:39:39 > 0:39:47What do you make of all of this?It seems to me that it is all a symptom
0:39:47 > 0:39:51of the impossible standard that women are held to. If they don't
0:39:51 > 0:39:57look like they had dressed up to present themselves, then they are
0:39:57 > 0:40:02faulted, but if they had any sort of... This article suggested that if
0:40:02 > 0:40:06there was any skin on display than that as a distraction and women
0:40:06 > 0:40:11should be held accountable to bad. It seems to me that there is no way
0:40:11 > 0:40:16to win.Because of woman don't dress up when they appear in public they
0:40:16 > 0:40:21get denigrated, if they do they told they are lacking credibility.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Absolutely. Are being judged by conflicting standards. I think the
0:40:25 > 0:40:31best thing to do is just forget about the standards.I suppose the
0:40:31 > 0:40:36argument would be if you put on her suit and dressed in a way, then
0:40:36 > 0:40:40people are paying more attention to what you say and you have more
0:40:40 > 0:40:44gravitas, but maybe that is just a definition of gravitas that is more
0:40:44 > 0:40:49male than female.Yes, that is what was happening in the 1980s when
0:40:49 > 0:40:54women were joining the workforce in droves. There was movement of
0:40:54 > 0:41:01wearing shoulder pads, suits, trying to dress like men. In the end is it
0:41:01 > 0:41:06doesn't quite work the same way because we have outdated standards
0:41:06 > 0:41:12that dressing like a man is the basic bottom line and anyway that
0:41:12 > 0:41:18you deviate from that is considered a deviation so there is no way for
0:41:18 > 0:41:28women to win. He will still be judged on a different standard to.I
0:41:28 > 0:41:33tried those shoulder pads in the 1980s it didn't work for me! If you
0:41:33 > 0:41:38are are trying to mimic men's standards of competence, leadership,
0:41:38 > 0:41:43we will never get there, because we are not men and we do have a
0:41:43 > 0:41:48different standard. Right. What about the history of this? I
0:41:48 > 0:41:52remember there was a time in the 1990s in the United States when
0:41:52 > 0:41:58women stop wearing stockings on television than that was seen as
0:41:58 > 0:42:04scandalous. It seems every time we remove the stockings, remove the
0:42:04 > 0:42:09gloves, perhaps, than credibility gets questioned.Yes, and then it
0:42:09 > 0:42:14starts to seem normal, it stops being an issue. There are still
0:42:14 > 0:42:18places in Washington where women are expected to wear stockings, so it
0:42:18 > 0:42:26depends on the Millie Dowler toss-up it used to a scandal if you didn't
0:42:26 > 0:42:31wear gloves in public. Standards are constantly changing.Do you think we
0:42:31 > 0:42:35will get to a stage when this will no longer be an issue, what women
0:42:35 > 0:42:42wear will be commented on?I would love to hope so. The generation
0:42:42 > 0:42:46coming of age right now is interested in self expression and
0:42:46 > 0:42:51would not bat an eyelid at a newscaster of wearing a giant very
0:42:51 > 0:42:56green coat or something because they like the idea of people expressing
0:42:56 > 0:43:02themselves. Hopefully that will get carried into society.Thank you for
0:43:02 > 0:43:10joining me. I have been wearing a sleeveless dress to read this
0:43:10 > 0:43:14programme, so I hope that hasn't undermined my credibility!
0:43:14 > 0:43:18And if you want to read more of my thoughts about whether women
0:43:18 > 0:43:20have the right to bear arms, you can find my article
0:43:20 > 0:43:21on the subject at bbc.com/news.
0:43:21 > 0:43:28Just head to the US & Canada section.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29This is Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Still to come: She was shown out of the West Virginia legislature
0:43:32 > 0:43:35but it's only opened the door to a flood of donations.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37We speak to the woman at the center of controversy.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53Emma Watson has been speaking at her shock, describing there was no
0:43:53 > 0:44:00system in place to help woman he had been sexually harassed. BAFTA is
0:44:00 > 0:44:11looking at changes that could tackle the problem.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13This Sunday, it's the Bafta Awards.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15And ahead of British film's biggest night of the year,
0:44:15 > 0:44:18the industry has announced a brand-new plan aimed at tackling
0:44:18 > 0:44:19both sexual harassment and bullying.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21It's a direct response to the Harvey Weinstein allegations.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22You can talk!
0:44:22 > 0:44:23You can talk!
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Well, of course he can talk!
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Emma Watson was one of the many actresses asked for her input.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29These principles are important because up until recently
0:44:29 > 0:44:32there were no guidelines, there was no protocol for someone
0:44:32 > 0:44:34that had been sexually harassed in the entertainment industry.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38And I know this to be a fact because I have asked for principles,
0:44:38 > 0:44:45I've asked to see guidelines, and no one could give them to me.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47To change this more than 40 organisations including BAFTA
0:44:47 > 0:44:50and the British Film Institute worked on a set of eight principles
0:44:50 > 0:44:52which they want to be used across the film,
0:44:52 > 0:44:56television and video Games industries.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58So what will actually change?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Every production must employ two people trained to handle any
0:45:01 > 0:45:04accusations of harassment.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06A dedicated phone line will open in April offering
0:45:06 > 0:45:08free confidential help.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10And BFI funding will only be given to projects
0:45:10 > 0:45:14committed to the changes.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17This isn't about a set of commandments, it's about a set
0:45:17 > 0:45:19of principles which everybody has willingly and with huge
0:45:19 > 0:45:24enthusiasm signed up to.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27At last month's Golden Globe Awards almost all actresses wore black
0:45:27 > 0:45:32to show solidarity for the Time's Up campaign, calling for change.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35The same is expected at the BAFTAs.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Those behind today's announcement hope that such a stand will not
0:45:38 > 0:45:39be needed next year.
0:45:39 > 0:45:45Colin Paterson, BBC News.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days...
0:46:02 > 0:46:06A woman from West Virginia has found herself at the centre of global
0:46:06 > 0:46:08interest after being thrown out of the state's legislature
0:46:08 > 0:46:10for highlighting links between politicians and big oil
0:46:10 > 0:46:11and gas corporations during a public hearing.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Lissa Lucas had prepared a testimony on a bill that would allow gas
0:46:14 > 0:46:16companies to drill on minority mineral owners' land
0:46:16 > 0:46:19without consent, but was stopped from finishing and escorted out.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21We'll hear from Lissa just a moment - first,
0:46:21 > 0:46:22here's a clip from the session.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26People who were going to be speaking in favour of this bill will be paid
0:46:26 > 0:46:31for by the industry and the people voting on this bill will also be
0:46:31 > 0:46:36paid by the industry. I have to keep this short because the public only
0:46:36 > 0:46:43gets a minute and 45 were as lobbyists can throw a gale at the
0:46:43 > 0:46:55Marriott hotel. I haven't finished. Drag me off them.
0:46:55 > 0:47:01Lissa joins us now from West Virginia.
0:47:01 > 0:47:06Lissa, when you get that speech specifically about deregulation of
0:47:06 > 0:47:12the energy industry, did you think you would be escorted out? No, that
0:47:12 > 0:47:17was surprising! They allegedly came along and shut down your microphone,
0:47:17 > 0:47:22is that right?Yeah. It came back on briefly and then went back. They
0:47:22 > 0:47:27even moved the microphone away. What did they tell you, what was the
0:47:27 > 0:47:36reason they gave? No personal comments. So no comments
0:47:36 > 0:47:41about deregulation of the energy industry, why are they personal
0:47:41 > 0:47:45comments?That was my question, that is why I continue despite the fact
0:47:45 > 0:47:54that they didn't want to hear it. To me those comments are not... Those
0:47:54 > 0:47:59comments are not personal, they are public information. They may not
0:47:59 > 0:48:02necessarily be common knowledge, but there wasn't some new information
0:48:02 > 0:48:09that nobody had ever seen before. Just go on the Internet. West
0:48:09 > 0:48:15Virginia is a state that has a lot of coal mining this White House
0:48:15 > 0:48:21deregulated the coal-mining industry. How many people are there
0:48:21 > 0:48:25in your state who would sympathise with your concerns about
0:48:25 > 0:48:31deregulation?I think everyone does. If you are a coal miner you want a
0:48:31 > 0:48:38job, but you also want your kids to be able to play in the creek. I
0:48:38 > 0:48:43think it is a false dichotomy to suggest that you are either going to
0:48:43 > 0:48:50have coal or gas would you will have nothing.Tell us what happened after
0:48:50 > 0:48:58you give that speech and after that video clip went viral I sat in the
0:48:58 > 0:49:04boy a for a while.I saw that there were some reports suggesting I was
0:49:04 > 0:49:08thrown out of the building, but they were really nice, they just went and
0:49:08 > 0:49:17sat in the Fourier. When I got my purse and keys again out of the
0:49:17 > 0:49:23Chambers I went down and had breakfast, a drove home, I struggle
0:49:23 > 0:49:30to get the video uploaded and that was basically my evening. I remember
0:49:30 > 0:49:36looking and seeing that I had gotten a few hundred dollars and I thought,
0:49:36 > 0:49:43wow, I have $300, hurray! That was Friday night! Since then, that you
0:49:43 > 0:49:49have raised $50,000.The only I'd may not have had the impact they
0:49:49 > 0:49:55intended.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58We have been reporting during this programme that President Trump has
0:49:58 > 0:50:05been under increased scrutiny due to his silence on domestic violence.
0:50:05 > 0:50:10That is after Rob Porter stepped down, one of his aides due to
0:50:10 > 0:50:22domestic abuse allegations. The president has spoken now.
0:50:22 > 0:50:28I am opposed to domestic violence and everybody here knows that.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind it almost wouldn't have
0:50:32 > 0:50:37to be said so now you hear it but you all know it. Thank you all very
0:50:37 > 0:50:44much.So President Trump there are pronouncing domestic violence. It is
0:50:44 > 0:50:49something you wanted him to do. Does this clear up this issue for the
0:50:49 > 0:50:53White House?No, this is something that should have been said a week
0:50:53 > 0:50:59ago. The president could have entered this. The president nor has
0:50:59 > 0:51:02unfortunately put himself in a situation where he will have more
0:51:02 > 0:51:07rather than less scrutiny.He looked frustrated to me there haven't and
0:51:07 > 0:51:11to those questions.No question. When you have the press yelling at
0:51:11 > 0:51:17you like that it is frustrating, particularly when the president
0:51:17 > 0:51:21doesn't want to answer something. He does not want to talk about himself
0:51:21 > 0:51:24and domestic violence, even though this is something to do with his
0:51:24 > 0:51:30staff, not him directly.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32The weather has been among one of the many talking points
0:51:32 > 0:51:35of the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang - the extreme cold
0:51:35 > 0:51:37and wind have led to some events being postponed and complaints
0:51:37 > 0:51:38from some athletes.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Earlier this week, Team GB's slope snowboarder Aimee Fuller crashed out
0:51:41 > 0:51:44on her final jump to finish 17th - here she is speaking
0:51:44 > 0:51:49about what she faced.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54As I was in the air, disgust lifted me, went under my feet. I am happy
0:51:54 > 0:52:02to be in one piece. It was so annoying because it was so, so
0:52:02 > 0:52:09close, it it was within inches of being a decent scoring run and the
0:52:09 > 0:52:11wind took me.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12But isn't it normal
0:52:12 > 0:52:15for the Winter Olympics to be
0:52:15 > 0:52:17like this?
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Eddie the Eagle - the British hero of
0:52:19 > 0:52:21the Calgary Olympics in 1988 - seems to think so.
0:52:21 > 0:52:26I spoke to him a little earlier.
0:52:26 > 0:52:32Eddie, the wind is super-strong, it is really, really cold and
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Pyeongchang, that you are saying that all of these athletes should
0:52:35 > 0:52:41stop complaining and just start competing?I think so, yes. I don't
0:52:41 > 0:52:45know if it is the athletes themselves complaining or just being
0:52:45 > 0:52:52funny, but they are winter athletes, it is winter, it is cold and they
0:52:52 > 0:53:00are probably trained in worse conditions than the Desert the --
0:53:00 > 0:53:05than it is at the moment. They should man up and get on with it,
0:53:05 > 0:53:14really.What if it is dangerous, though?As a former ski jumper, wind
0:53:14 > 0:53:21is critical for ski jumping so I can understand as a ski jumper that, but
0:53:21 > 0:53:26for a lot of the other sports it is not so important. Also, the wind can
0:53:26 > 0:53:33be your best friend as well as your worst enemy. If it is gusty the
0:53:33 > 0:53:37athletes should be training in those kind of conditions to get used it as
0:53:37 > 0:53:41well, so I am surprised that the aren't training in those kind of
0:53:41 > 0:53:48conditions. The officials will ever gets to dangerous will say no
0:53:48 > 0:53:53competition, but that is up to the officials, not the athletes.30
0:53:53 > 0:53:58years after you competed in Calgary, there is a film that came out to
0:53:58 > 0:54:02produce a couple of years to go. This film shows that you were pretty
0:54:02 > 0:54:10tough when you were a competitor.In Calgary we have lots of wind
0:54:10 > 0:54:13problems. They cancelled a lot of the training for the ski jump
0:54:13 > 0:54:19because of the high winds. From one point there were going to move the
0:54:19 > 0:54:24ski jumping from Calgary to thunder bay. Then all of a sudden we got one
0:54:24 > 0:54:27clear day and they've jumped straight into the competition and it
0:54:27 > 0:54:30might be like that here in South Korea. The film, they did a great
0:54:30 > 0:54:36job with the film. I was a strong character and just get on with that,
0:54:36 > 0:54:42really. Whatever the conditions, get out there and do it.I hadn't lived
0:54:42 > 0:54:45that you stayed in a mental hospital at one point when you were
0:54:45 > 0:54:52competing, because it was cheap! Yes, I slept on the back of my car,
0:54:52 > 0:54:57in cow sheds, prescription food out of bins, slept in a mental hospital
0:54:57 > 0:55:01in Finland. I stayed in the mental hospital when I got the letter from
0:55:01 > 0:55:05the British Olympic organisation to say congratulations, you have been
0:55:05 > 0:55:10picked to go to Calgary.Did they think you should have been one of
0:55:10 > 0:55:18the inmates?I managed to get out! They probably did think I was an
0:55:18 > 0:55:22inmate! I did manage to fly to Calgary and compete, but it was a
0:55:22 > 0:55:26very strange experience staying in that mental hospital.Your life has
0:55:26 > 0:55:34been full of strange experiences! Temp two, thank you for joining me.
0:55:34 > 0:55:42How great is edit the evil? Arbil Olympian, bearer. President Jacob
0:55:42 > 0:55:48Zuma is due to address the nation any time now. Here is the scene in
0:55:48 > 0:55:54Pretoria. He will make some kind of statement. We'll bring you that.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Coming up next on BBC World News: Karin Giannone
0:55:56 > 0:55:58is here with Outside Source and for viewers in the UK,
0:55:58 > 0:56:00we'll have the latest headlines from Ben Brown.
