You're watching Beyond 100 Days. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
The survivors of the Florida school
shooting are demanding change. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
President Trump moves a little,
he says he is open to tighter | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
background checks
but is it enough to | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
encourage Congress to act? | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
Enough is enough! Enough is enough! | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
As students stage protests,
we hear from one of the survivors | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
of the Florida shooting,
who has this message | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
for the President. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
He's going to see in our eyes that
we're not going to back | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
down, no matter what. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
We're not going to stop
until change has happened. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
The FBI is too focused on Russia,
says the President, who this | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
weekend tweeted 12 times
about the Russia investigation. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
But that wasn't the only issue
on the President's mind... | 0:00:52 | 0:01:01 | |
He takes aim at Oprah Winfrey,
calling her insecure. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
Berlusconi's back on camera. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
The former Italian PM tells the BBC
he's the man to lead Italy. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Off camera, though... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
TRANSLATION: Don't shake hands
like that, too strong! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Men will think, this one
is going to beat me up, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
and no-one will marry you. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:31 | |
Hello and welcome -
I'm Christian Fraser in London, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Jon Sopel is in Washington. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:51 | |
The problems started
in middle school. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
The assaults, the disturbing
drawings, the Florida shooter | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Nikolas Cruz was cited in more that
40 disciplinary | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
incidents at his school. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
He'd written that he
wanted to kill people. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
So how is it a character
with a background like that | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
was allowed to buy not just one
firearm, but ten, and | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
all of them rifles. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
Today, the President, whose
campaign, of course, was part funded | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
by the National Rifle Association,
said he is supportive | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
of efforts to improve
federal background checks. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
On Wednesday, he'll
sit down with students | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
to hear their concerns. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
He's already heard the anger
and today, there was a protest | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
outside the White House. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
16-year-old Rain Vayadarez
was in a room in the middle | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
of the school at the time
of the shooting. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
One of her friends
was shot three times. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
She plans to join a student march
on the state capital of Florida | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
later this week to call for change. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
Rain, before I talk
to you about the march and the way | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
you're going to campaign,
I must start by asking you how | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
you are feeling and how
you are processing the enormity | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
of what happened last week. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
Well, at first, everything
was just a huge shock. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
You're going to hear
that from everyone. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
But each day feels different. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
You know, the first day was shock,
the next day was grief, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
but now it's more and more hope. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
Of course we are grieving
every single life lost. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:18 | |
It's incredibly devastating,
the fact that this happened right | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
in front of my eyes,
right in front of everyone's eyes, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
but slowly but surely,
we are going to make a change. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
We're coming together. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
I've never seen this sense of unity,
it's just so strong. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Not just within our community,
just within the country, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
and I'm just grateful that this
is what it's come to. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
The lives that were lost,
it's a huge tragedy, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
but the fact that we're coming back
from this and we are using our | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
voices to make a difference,
it's just filling my heart again | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
with this will, this strength. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
There's a lot of grassroot
noise at the moment, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:59 | |
a lot of movement springing up,
a lot of people want change | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
and they are calling for change. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
But of course, what happened last
week is very fresh in people's | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
conscience at the moment. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
So how do you harness everything
that's happening this week | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
and make sure that you can,
over the long term, deliver | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
the change that you want? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Exactly. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
Within these protests
that we're having, we're | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
still visiting viewings,
we're still going to vigils, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
we're still participating
in going to the funerals | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
in between all this. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
So in the middle of everything,
we're still grieving and we're | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
still upset, angry, mourning. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
But we're using this energy
that we have to be the change, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
to use our voices, and I think just
knowing that because of this | 0:04:42 | 0:04:51 | |
tragedy, the fact that we're
using it as a catalyst for change, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
I think it's just the best thing
that we could have done from this. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Rain, you've got a demonstration
in Tallahassee in Florida this week, | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
there's going to be a demonstration
in Washington next month and I think | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
the President is going to meet
a number of students this week. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Do you think that you can change
the President's mind on the whole | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
issue of gun control? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Yes, because this whole time,
he has not spoken with us directly. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:23 | |
He has not spoken to the students,
the staff, he has not spoken | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
directly with the families, victims. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
And I feel like if he looks me
in the eye, he looks | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
all of us in the eye,
he sees the amount of passion | 0:05:32 | 0:05:38 | |
and change that we're calling,
pleading, demanding from him. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
Because he's going to know,
he's going to see in our eyes that | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
we're not going to back down. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
No matter what, we're not
going to stop until change | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
has happened, you know,
this country changes. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
My heart can barely go through this
one time and I'm not | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
going to let it happen again,
I'm not going to let my heart | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
go through this again. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
I'm not going to let these families,
these victims end in vain. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Rain, great pleasure talking to you. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
Thank you very much
indeed for being with us. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
Thank you so much. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
Another of these eloquent students
from Florida, who we must remember | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
are attending the funerals of their
friends. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Let's bring in Andy Parker - | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
he is the father of Alison Parker -
the reporter who was shot and killed | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
live on air whilst doing
an interview in 2015. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
He's campaigned for gun control
since his daughter's death, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
and joins us now from Virginia. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
It is very good of you to spell some
time. The similarities of the | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
character of the man involved in
Florida and the man who murdered | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
your daughter are there for all to
see. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Yes. And the sad thing is that
immediately, the president comes out | 0:06:50 | 0:06:57 | |
with, well, it's mental illness, and
certainly this young man had not | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
illness. Alison's shooter had no
mental illness. That's how they | 0:07:02 | 0:07:08 | |
deflect the crisis that we have and
the plague that we have going on in | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
this country. We're not the only
country in the world that has mental | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
illness. But we do have a monopoly
on mental illness and the two easily | 0:07:17 | 0:07:24 | |
available guns that they can get
their hands on. I read some of your | 0:07:24 | 0:07:31 | |
campaign literature today and you
have, in the past, specifically | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
called out the chairperson of the
judiciary committee, a republican | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
who has enormous power in Congress.
You say that he told you | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
face-to-face that he would never
hold a hearing on gun legislation. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
Do you think he might just have
changed his mind this week? I wish I | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
could say that but sadly, no. You
mentioned, and I saw earlier, that | 0:07:51 | 0:07:57 | |
the president suggested he might
consider some kind of background | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
checks. Well, in the wake of Las
Vegas, they did the same thing with | 0:08:01 | 0:08:10 | |
that and of course it went away.
Sadly, the only way we're going to | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
make a change in country is we have
to kick every Republican lawmaker | 0:08:14 | 0:08:20 | |
from state level to congressional
level, you have to kick them to the | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
card. Because the other problem and
they are in the pockets of the gun | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
lobby. You're not going to change
their minds. You're just not. Even | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
these kids, I love what they're
doing. But, you know, looking the | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
president in the eye, as I did, it's
not go to change their mind. You've | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
just got to get them of there. But,
Andy, we've already seen that after | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
Sandy Hook, there was an
overwhelming call that there should | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
be action taken. It didn't happen.
The ad seen -- we have seen a whole | 0:08:48 | 0:08:55 | |
succession of dastardly deaths. Your
daughter's, what happened in | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
Charleston, Las Vegas, I can go on
and add to the list. What is it that | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
is going to shift the dial on this
issue? The only way, the only way is | 0:09:03 | 0:09:09 | |
to put Republicans in the minority.
That's it. Some of these guys are | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
true believers. They want guns
everywhere. Even in Virginia, the | 0:09:14 | 0:09:23 | |
House Majority Leader in Virginia
thinks that a specialty license | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
plate that says Stopped On Violence,
something as basic as that, would | 0:09:26 | 0:09:42 | |
lead to guns being seized. We have
typically does out there who are not | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
afraid to tackle the gun issue. I
haven't seen that coming from any | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
Republican lawmaker in the country.
Other than Susan Collins, she might | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
get. OK, Andy, we have to leave it
there. Grateful to you for joining | 0:09:52 | 0:09:58 | |
us. From Virginia. Thank you very
much indeed. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
Michael Nutter is
the former Democratic | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
mayor of Philadelphia -
he has just written a new book. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
It's called the best
job in politics. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
You would think that a while back
we would have actually done | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
something significant,
certainly after Sandy Hook. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
But there is a different
feeling from Florida. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
I think a lot of it has to do
with the voices of the young people | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
speaking out very strongly,
very directly, and being heard. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
I hope that more and more adults,
or people who are supposed to be | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
adults, take their lead,
show some guts and actually | 0:10:36 | 0:10:44 | |
do even a few things,
reasonable things that can be done. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Mayor Nutter, we talk a lot
about federal solutions | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
to these atrocities,
but what shines through from your | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
book is that you had remarkable
success dealing with the homicide | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
rate in your city. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
In fact, it was at a 50-year low
by the end of your term. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
So I'm bound to ask from this side,
from London, why can't America find | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
local solutions within cities
and within states? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
Again, as you mention from the book,
even the legislative success | 0:11:11 | 0:11:20 | |
that we had came as a result
of my being sued, the city | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
being sued by the NRA
on my 100th day in office, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
which I would say is one
of the proudest moments | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
of my entire political career. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
The conflating of the Second
Amendment and what I would say | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
is someone's First Amendment right
not to be shot is a ruse by the NRA. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
They are very powerful,
they attack state legislatures | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
to the extent that general
assemblies have prohibited | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
or pre-empted local action
on the issue of guns. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
Notwithstanding the fact that
many of our large population centres | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
have a need to be able to better
regulate what happens. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Mayor Nutter, I think one
of the things that shines | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
through from your book is that
you absolutely loved | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
your time being a mayor. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Practical actions, getting things
done for the people of Philadelphia. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Do you think when we talk
about who is going to be the next | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
Democratic Party candidate
for President that instead | 0:12:20 | 0:12:27 | |
of looking to Congress or looking
to a Governor's mansion, we should | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
look to city mayors? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
Absolutely. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Again, with every respect to those
other offices that you mentioned, | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
there is no executive closer
to the ground, closer | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
to the people than a mayor. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
Small, medium or large a city,
we have a daily duty to get stuff | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
done and make things happen
on behalf of our constituents. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
You can't have the kind of gridlock
that we see in Congress | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
taking place in cities. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
These are folks who are used
to getting things done and making | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
things happen on behalf
of their constituents and could do | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
the same at the national level. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
Just a final question
to you, we haven't talked | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
about Donald Trump. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
You have a quote in your book which
says, if you have a deep-seated need | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
to be loved and admired every day,
you shouldn't be in politics, | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
you should go to work at a pet shop. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
I wonder whether you
had anyone in mind. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Well, I've had a lot
of people in mind with regard | 0:13:16 | 0:13:22 | |
to that particular quote,
but it absolutely fits | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
the current President
of the United States of America. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
His need for constant adulation
and constant attention, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:34 | |
this kind of personality disorder
is very disruptive to any common | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
sense here in America and it's quite
frankly embarrassing. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
He could run maybe the biggest pet
shop in the world and should be | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
really happy doing that. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Mayor Michael Nutter, thank you very
much indeed for being with us. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
With me in the studio
is our political analyst and former | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
advisor to George W Bush,
Ron Christie. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
Always great to have you with us.
Let's just start on some of what | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
Donald Trump said today. That they
might be in favour of tighter | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
background checks on guns. Is this
the start of a movement or is this a | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
limited bit of space that Donald
Trump is willing to give and doesn't | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
simplify very much? Good afternoon
to you. It is too early to say. It | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
is a step in the right direction
but, as we know, with Congress being | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
controlled by Republicans, I don't
know that there is a movement | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
necessarily to have significant
gun-control legislation at this | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
point that could pass the 60 vote
Senate and make the present's desk. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:45 | |
Thank you for that. I wanted to stay
with us, because it's been a holiday | 0:14:45 | 0:14:51 | |
weekend in the United States. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
The president has been at Malalai
go. -- Mar-a-Lago. | 0:14:52 | 0:15:10 | |
But this time took
the decision not to play golf. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
It might have looked unseemely
so close to the Florida shooting. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Instead, by all accounts,
the President watched | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
television, cable news. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
Which always draws a reaction. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Even by this President's
standards, this | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
was a weekend tirade. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:21 | |
He blamed the FBI for failing
to stop the Florida shooter, | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
they are too focused
on Russia he wrote. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
If it was the goal of Russia to sew
discord and disruption, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
said another tweet, then
they are laughing their | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
asses off in Moscow. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:31 | |
It is worth noting that
the President who blames | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
the FBI for their Russia
"obsession" posted 12 | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
tweets this weekend
on the Russia investigation. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
There is a recessed by Russia? The
FBI, Congress Donald Trump? The fund | 0:15:38 | 0:15:47 | |
one. -- the third answer. Donald
Trump. It was several tweets. He | 0:15:47 | 0:15:58 | |
needs to recognise he is in charge
of the Executive branch. Mr | 0:15:58 | 0:16:04 | |
President, you're in charge of the
Executive branch of government. If | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
you see something that needs to be
change, you can make that order. I | 0:16:06 | 0:16:13 | |
think it is juvenile to go on
Twitter like the way he does and it | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
is beyond the office he holds. I was
on holiday last week and my phone | 0:16:16 | 0:16:27 | |
kept going because of Trump. I was
on holiday, kept going! | 0:16:27 | 0:16:33 | |
This is what happened when Oprah
Winfrey spoke to voters last year. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:44 | |
Who here believes that he made the
comment about, quote, "BLEEP hole | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
countries"? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
Absolutely. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
Absolutely. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
You think he made the comment? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:51 | |
Yeah, I think he made
the comment, yeah. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
I think all presidents have
made comments behind | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
closed doors and it wasn't reported. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
You think all presidents have used
the term "BLEEP hole"? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Yes, I do. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
OK, can I just say something?
It's not about the swearing. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
OK? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
I expect every
politican to say that. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
It's the fact that he
demeaned an entire race. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Oh, no.
Or country. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
And if our president, who we...
I respect the office. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
And I expect and demand
better actions than that. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
Right, first off, there's nothing
insecure about Oprah Winfrey. We all | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
know that. But of course, she is
potentially a presidential | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
candidate. Its President's weekend.
Why is he tweeting about Oprah | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Winfrey? Christian, first of all,
welcome back. Good to see you back. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:37 | |
We've missed you. I have no earthly
idea. I'm a republican, and | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
conservative, I like Oprah Winfrey.
When your President of the United | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
States, you represent all 330
million of us, Republican, Democrat | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
or independent. The fact that he
will single out people voted as is | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
is not what you should be doing. You
should be leading by example. The | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
example President Trump is leading
by Right now leads me to ask, why is | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
he doing and saying these things? I
have no idea. Yes. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
Thank you very much, as ever, for
your insight and analysis. I | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
suppose, Christian, these tweets are
extraordinary in many different | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
ways. If you look at the guns issue
first of all, may be Donald Trump is | 0:18:15 | 0:18:22 | |
the person who can deliver something
on guns in a way that Barack Obama | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
simply couldn't. Because there were
so many people who were set against | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
him and thought that they didn't
want to listen to him. And there | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
were Democrats in red states voted
to maintain the second Amendment | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
rights, against laba-mac Obama was
calling for, because they feared for | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
their political careers if they
voted any other way. When it comes | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
to Russia, the CAC was OK about the
indictments because they were people | 0:18:48 | 0:18:57 | |
not necessarily connected to his
campaign. Many watched cable news | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
all the weekend. Sitting in his
room, not playing golf and he | 0:19:00 | 0:19:07 | |
thought, maybe this isn't a good
thing. He tweets 12 times about | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
Russia. Condemnation in the air, for
Congress, for the team in occasions | 0:19:09 | 0:19:18 | |
adviser in Munich and doesn't say
the right things, no condemnation | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
from the commander-in-chief about
Russia. That is the key point. You | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
have an entitlement against
Russians. Three Russian entities, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
the details of what they were doing,
we now know as a result of that | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
indictment. And yet from the
president, there are still not been | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
condemnation of Russia. There are
still much been condemnation of | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
Vladimir Putin. Most importantly of
all, where is the outrage that says | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
a foreign entity is interfering in
US democracy and outlining a | 0:19:45 | 0:19:52 | |
strategy of what is going to be done
to correct it? That's what's been | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
missing from the present's response
so far. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
Let's take a look at some of the
day's other news. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
A former researcher
at Birmingham University, | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
said to be one of Britain's worst
sexual offenders, has | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
been jailed for 32 years
for offences against children. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Matthew Falder pleaded
guilty to 137 charges, | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
including encouraging the rape
of a minor and blackmailing his | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
victims into sending him obscene
footage of themselves carrying | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
out degrading acts. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
The operation to catch Falder
included law enforcement | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
agencies around the world. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
An anti-doping case has been opened
against Russian medal-winning | 0:20:26 | 0:20:34 | |
curler Alexander Krushelnitsky, says
the Court of Arbitration for Sport. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
Krushelnitsky, who won
bronze with his wife | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
in the mixed doubles
at the Winter Olympics on Tuesday, | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
is suspected of testing
positive for meldonium. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:50 | |
Now, here's a striking image
of thousands of starlings swooping | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
over Blackpool beach
in the North of England. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
It is known as a "murmuration" -
with flocks of birds swirling | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
through the skies together before
settling into their | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
roost for the night. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
The numbers swell in winter
when they are joined by migratory | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
starlings from Scandinavia. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:13 | |
He's the media tycoon
famed for his parties | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
as much as his politics. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
With Silvio Berlusconi,
there is rarely a dull moment. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
We had thought his political career
was over, but perhaps not. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
The 81-year-old is making
an unlikely comeback. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
Mr Berlusconi has told the BBC
that he is the best option | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
for the country in the upcoming
general election. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
He also had a few words
of advice for our reporter, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Sofia Bettiza, who
sent this from Rome. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Forza Italia! | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Many thought he was
politically finished. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
Done. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
But Silvio Berlusconi,
Italy's four-time Prime Minister, | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
is making a comeback. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
His centre-right coalition is set
to win the most votes in the general | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
election in two weeks' time. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
Outside of Italy, Berlusconi's
famous for his love of women and his | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
ability to remain freshfaced. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
But in many parts of this country,
he is much more than that. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
TRANSLATION: I'm
voting for Berlusconi. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
He's experienced. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
I trust him. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
I'm sure he's learned
from his mistakes. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
TRANSLATION: He's built
a good coalition. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
He has my full confidence. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
Berlusconi can't technically
become Prime Minister. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:34 | |
In 2013, he was barred from public
office because of his criminal | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
convictions for tax fraud. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
But he can still lead his party. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
When I caught up with him,
I asked why he thinks he's | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
the best person for the job. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
TRANSLATION: I was ousted
from politics because of | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
an unbelievably shameful sentence. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
The Italian people know that
everything that's been | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
said about me is false. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
That all the accusations
are made up. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
They never stopped trusting me. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:09 | |
And I have governed this country
for longer than anyone else. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
His main challenge will come
from the Five Star Movement, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:20 | |
an anti-establishment
political party on the rise. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
So, in a couple of weeks,
Silvio Berlusconi, a man who can't | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
be elected as an MP and isn't even
allowed to vote, could be back | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
in power, leading a grand
coalition in Parliament here. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:37 | |
This would be, in effect, the fifth
time he's led this country. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Despite the prominence of feminist
campaigns worldwide, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
including movements like Me Too,
it seems many Italian women can | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
look beyond Berlusconi's
alleged sex scandals. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
TRANSLATION: He is my idol. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
All men are like that. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
He was just a fool
because he got caught. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Me Too is not so strong
in Italy, as it has been | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
in the Anglo-Saxon countries. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
People don't remember
very well the night | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
of Berlusconi, all the scandals. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
It's something far-away
in our memory. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
And not many interviews
with prominent politicians end | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
like this these days. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
TRANSLATION: Don't
shake hands like that. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
Too strong! | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
Men will think, this one
is going to beat me up, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
and no-one will marry you. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
Let's try again. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
No, a little less! | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Who is ever going to marry you? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:38 | |
I'm joking. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:39 | |
You have to joke
every once in awhile. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
For many, the idea that Berlusconi
would run the country again | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
was itself a joke you go. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:51 | |
But the man Italians either love
or hate seems on the verge | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
of yet another comeback. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
As you know, I once had the best job
in television. I was a correspondent | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
in Rome for two years and they have
covered a couple of Italian | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
elections. They come around quite
frequently, you will have noticed. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
One thing I learned in Rome was that
you should never write off Silvio | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Berlusconi. He is the definition of
a political survivor. I'm just | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
trying to think if anyone in
politics today could fit that kind | 0:25:18 | 0:25:24 | |
of description of a populist,
outspoken, controversial, bit of a | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
reputation where women are
concerned... Nothing comes to mind. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
This is Beyond 100

a rap on the knuckles for Poland | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |

it highlight a bigger divide | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
across the EU? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |

That's still to come. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:59 | |
A very gay, drizzly day for most of
us today. Here's the good news for | 0:26:09 | 0:26:15 | |
tomorrow. -- very grey, drizzly day.
In one or two areas, the cloud will | 0:26:15 | 0:26:23 | |
be stubborn and a bit more drizzle
present. This weather front crossing | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
the country in the satellite.
Actually two weather fronts. That | 0:26:27 | 0:26:33 | |
will be stubborn to clear from the
East tomorrow. Within the weather | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
fronts, we have some mild air. Here
they are. You can see during the | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
course of this evening what will
happen. Tonight, the two will merge | 0:26:41 | 0:26:47 | |
and basically, was left over will
park itself across the East by the | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
early hours of Tuesday morning. Many
western areas will have the clearing | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
skies tonight, whereas the East,
from London all the way up to | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
possibly Newcastle and maybe
Aberdeen, will be pretty overcast | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
with some rain. Watch what happens.
The rain tends to dissolve away from | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
eastern areas. But it will be very
stubborn across East Anglia and the | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
far south-east. For the vast
majority, it should be a nice day. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
Wales is looking beautiful. Glasgow,
most of the Western Isles and | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
Belfast getting 's century. This is
the forecast into Tuesday evening | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
and early hours of Wednesday. Still
a bit of cloud left over from the | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
weather front across England. Hence,
it would be desperately cold. Not | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
far-off freezing, for Celsius in
towns and cities. If frost in | 0:27:33 | 0:27:38 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Wednesday, a shift in the weather. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:45 | |
Rather than weather fronts coming
from the Atlantic, the wind shifts | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
direction becomes released. Look how
cold it is across Europe first thing | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
on Wednesday morning. That is a hint
of things to come a little later on | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
this week, next weekend, this coming
weekend, that is, where we will | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
start to see called Aurier-mac
coming in from the East. Temp just | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
acting to drop by Wednesday. Mist
involved in the morning, perhaps, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:09 | |
but overall pretty nice for most of
us with some sunshine. Then this big | 0:28:09 | 0:28:14 | |
high-pressure building almost from
Siberia. That will send a lot of | 0:28:14 | 0:28:19 | |
settled weather but a -- but some
dry winds from the continent. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:25 | |
Temperatures will stop to dip away
by the end of the week. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |

after the earthquake | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
in 2010 were forced to deliver
prostitutes to the charity's | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
premises or risk losing their jobs. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
That's what the BBC has
been told by a source. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
It's also claimed that one
Oxfam employee involved | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
was unnecessarily allowed to resign
instead of being sacked. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
Today Oxfam published
its investigation which found that | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
three Oxfam employees accused
of sexual misconduct physically | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
threatened a witness
during the investigation. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:33 | |
Here's our | 0:31:33 | 0:31:34 | |
diplomatic correspondent
James Landale. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:41 | |
Those operations have become
an industry which has spread into 80 | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
countries. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:44 | |
For more than half a century Oxfam
has been helping those in need, such | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
as these victims of conflict in
Nigeria in the late 1960s but that | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
hard-won reputation has been put
at risk by the behaviour of some | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
staff in Haiti in 2011. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:58 | |
An internal report published today
shows one was dismissed and three | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
resigned for using prostitutes
on Oxfam premises. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
Two more were dismissed
for bullying and intimidation, | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
one of whom also
downloaded pornography. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
And another man was sacked
for failing to protect staff. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:20 | |
A source said drivers were forced to
deliver people to Oxfam villas. They | 0:32:28 | 0:32:35 | |
had parties which were described as
orgies. Women were dressed in Oxfam | 0:32:35 | 0:32:41 | |
T-shirts. It would go on all night. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
orgies. Women were dressed in Oxfam
T-shirts. It would go on all night. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:45 | |
We were told they were under age.
Security guards and drivers talked | 0:32:45 | 0:32:50 | |
about it indirectly because a the
talked about it directly they would | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
lose their jobs. Today the BBC
caught up with one of those | 0:32:53 | 0:33:02 | |
dismissed by Oxfam. The Kenyan aid
worker bees outside the capital of | 0:33:02 | 0:33:06 | |
Nairobi. -- beast. Oxfam support
says its country directors admitted | 0:33:06 | 0:33:18 | |
using prostitutes. He has spoken of
lies and exaggeration but it also | 0:33:18 | 0:33:23 | |
says he was allowed to resign with
dignity and one that's pay because | 0:33:23 | 0:33:28 | |
dismissing him would have damaged
the investigation. A BBC source | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
challenges that account. They did
not need him to stay and help with | 0:33:32 | 0:33:36 | |
the investigation. He was not part
of the investigation team. From all | 0:33:36 | 0:33:41 | |
accounts he owned up to his own
behaviour. Today, Oxfam officials | 0:33:41 | 0:33:48 | |
met members of the Haitian
government. Tomorrow senior figures | 0:33:48 | 0:33:52 | |
from the charity will face MPs in
Parliament. Questions for Oxfam keep | 0:33:52 | 0:33:58 | |
on coming. We heard James talking
about how Oxfam had met Haitian | 0:33:58 | 0:34:04 | |
officials. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
And a short time ago,
Oxfam sent this statement | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
through after meeting
with Haitian officials. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
"We are deeply ashamed
and sorry for what happened. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
We're here to say we're
sorry to the government | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
and the Haitian people
and to share our reports | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
with the government. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
We're ready and going to collaborate
with the government | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
on all the steps forward". | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
I am joined in the studio
by Andrew Mitchell | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
who is the UK government's former
International Development Secretary. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:29 | |
You would impose from 2010 until
2012. You had asked last week on the | 0:34:29 | 0:34:37 | |
BBC whether you had been aware of
this kind of information from Oxfam | 0:34:37 | 0:34:41 | |
and the story was breaking, what
have you found out since? DFID have | 0:34:41 | 0:34:47 | |
gone through the files. The reason I
did not know was because officials | 0:34:47 | 0:34:52 | |
did not realise the gravity of the
misdemeanours which were presented | 0:34:52 | 0:34:56 | |
to them. Oxfam told them they were
investigating misdemeanour and | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
breaches of the regulations but did
not see what they were. Officials | 0:35:00 | 0:35:05 | |
quite rightly filed this and the not
vitally important file. They had the | 0:35:05 | 0:35:14 | |
seriousness of its? They abided by
the letter of the rules but not the | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
spirit. Had they and told me,
obviously I would've taken | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
appropriate action but I was never
told. I don't think officials can be | 0:35:22 | 0:35:27 | |
faulted for not having told me.
You're still heavily involved with | 0:35:27 | 0:35:31 | |
charities in this of work, I am sure
it is not Oxfam who are reeling from | 0:35:31 | 0:35:38 | |
what has been uncovered, there must
be a number of charities who could | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
be wide-open? All charities operate,
including those who receive | 0:35:42 | 0:35:50 | |
taxpayers money, must ensure the
regulations are overhauled and be | 0:35:50 | 0:35:55 | |
totally open and transparent. That
is the key, they must be totally | 0:35:55 | 0:35:59 | |
open. That is obviously a huge
amount of concern about Oxfam, this | 0:35:59 | 0:36:05 | |
is a terrible story which does
damage to Oxfam and the | 0:36:05 | 0:36:10 | |
international charities and NGOs
which operate in this area but it is | 0:36:10 | 0:36:15 | |
important we do not throw the baby
out from -- the bath water. This | 0:36:15 | 0:36:22 | |
sector attack -- attracts decent and
brilliant people who put themselves | 0:36:22 | 0:36:26 | |
in harms way for their fellow
citizens so it is important to | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
remember that all round the world,
Oxfam and others, really good and | 0:36:30 | 0:36:36 | |
decent people are working to help
fellow members of humanity caught up | 0:36:36 | 0:36:41 | |
in the catastrophe and disaster. I
am sure a lot of people are thinking | 0:36:41 | 0:36:46 | |
do I want to keep the standing order
I have for Oxfam or whatever | 0:36:46 | 0:36:52 | |
charity, what is your advice, what
do charities need to do to rebuild | 0:36:52 | 0:36:57 | |
confidence so people can continue to
give money to worthwhile causes and | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
think it will be spent in the right
way? My advice is to keep things in | 0:37:01 | 0:37:07 | |
perspective and accept that a
terrible disaster has afflicted | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
Oxfam here because of the behaviour
of seven people but remember | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
thousands of others around the world
are working hard to ensure they go | 0:37:15 | 0:37:20 | |
to the rescue help of their fellow
human beings. I think of the Oxfam | 0:37:20 | 0:37:25 | |
workers I saw last year in Yemen
which is a catastrophe unfolding | 0:37:25 | 0:37:30 | |
before our eyes. The way they made
sure water was made available to two | 0:37:30 | 0:37:36 | |
small cities and looked after 5000
people driven out of their homes by | 0:37:36 | 0:37:42 | |
bombs, driven out with nothing apart
from their clothes. They made sure | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
they had food and medicine so the
truth is this is a brilliant | 0:37:47 | 0:37:53 | |
organisation, temporarily mired by
this awful disaster in Haiti. It | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
will recover. It has had new
leadership since then, leadership | 0:37:57 | 0:38:02 | |
which I admire and respect. Oxfam
will put it behind them and | 0:38:02 | 0:38:08 | |
re-establish their reputation and
continue doing brilliant work which | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
many of us have seen around the
world. Andrew Mitchell, thank you | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
very much. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:19 | |
Just before Christmas,
the European Commission began | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
unprecedented disciplinary
proceedings against Poland, | 0:38:21 | 0:38:22 | |
whose right-wing government,
it argued, was flouting the rule | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
of law by attacking the independence
of Polish courts and judges. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
The clash has highlighted divisions
in the EU between older | 0:38:27 | 0:38:32 | |
Western member states and those
in the east of the bloc like Hungary | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
and Austria where nationalist
parties have also achieved success. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
This week, our correspondent
Jenny Hill, is taking | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
a look at these divisions. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
Today she reports from Zambrow
in Poland on the success | 0:38:41 | 0:38:46 | |
of the governing Law
and Justice or "Pis" party: | 0:38:46 | 0:38:52 | |
When your country has come a long
way, it is easy to feel left behind. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:59 | |
Poland has gone from communism,
to the EU, to relative prosperity. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:04 | |
But out here, many felt
forgotten - until now. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:10 | |
Generous child benefits,
a lower retirement age, | 0:39:10 | 0:39:15 | |
small wonder perhaps the Pis
government gets the family vote. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
TRANSLATION: Everyone,
all the other parties make | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
promises, but they don't deliver. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
Pis kept their promises,
it is good and I support them | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
and I don't see anything wrong
with what they are doing. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
Quite the opposite. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
But they have divided
a country, enraged the EU. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
Last year protests in Warsaw,
Pis attacks press freedom, | 0:39:40 | 0:39:46 | |
access to abortion and
the independence of the judiciary. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:53 | |
TRANSLATION: The system
is already broken. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
There is no balance of power. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
We are moving towards
an authoritarian state. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:00 | |
One party will dominate Parliament
and will destroy independent | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
justice. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
But resistance is giving way
to resignation, the government | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
is backed in part by
the Catholic Church, | 0:40:09 | 0:40:14 | |
the voice of tradition
is growing louder. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:24 | |
TRANSLATION: Most importantly
it was patriotism that drove me | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
towards Pis, the
patriotism I inherited | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
from my grandparents and my parents. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
I could only find that kind
of patriotism in the Pis party. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
It is as if there is
a battle going on here. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
For the very soul of this country. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
It divides society into liberal
elite or populist patriot | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
and it is a struggle
which symbolises, perhaps even feeds | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
what is happening within the EU. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
This is no longer a defining
moment simply for Poland, | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
but for the whole European project. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:02 | |
Because, it seems, no one
is really sure how to deal | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
with what is arguably the EU's
most troublesome state. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:14 | |
Reports from Iran suggest
that the wreckage of a plane | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
which crashed on Sunday may have
been spotted in a remote | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
mountain range. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:23 | |
The Aseman Airlines passenger plane
came down in the Zagros | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
mountains on Sunday,
It's believed there | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
were 65 people on board. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
Fog and blizzards and temperatures
well below zero are hampering | 0:41:29 | 0:41:32 | |
the search operation. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:42 | |
Chinese authorities are demanding
punishment for one man who is | 0:41:42 | 0:41:48 | |
accused of snapping off the finger
of one of the terracotta army. They | 0:41:48 | 0:41:55 | |
are among China's most prized
treasures. | 0:41:55 | 0:42:01 | |
What if you could change
time in a photograph? | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
That's what National
Geographic Photographer | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
and Explorer Stephen Wilkes wanted
to achieve in his series | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
'Day-to-Night.' His aim
was to meld all the events | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
of a single day into one
image and the results | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
are pretty spectacular. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
Recently we went to see his work
here on display in Washington. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:22 | |
Art that is powerful is emotional
and so I want you to have some kind | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
of emotional response to
what you are witnessing and seeing. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
I try to capture images
that have a certain | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
kind of scope and breadth
and an intimacy at the same time. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
The day-to night series
is something I started | 0:42:35 | 0:42:36 | |
nine years ago. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
I started with a crazy idea,
to compress a single | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
day into a photograph. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
I take pictures from
a single point of | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
view, usually elevated. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:50 | |
Elevated about 50 feet in the air. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:56 | |
I never move my camera, I just photo | 0:42:56 | 0:43:05 | |
specific moments throughout
the day and night. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
When I get back I edit anywhere
from 1200 to 2200 images. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
It takes me about a month
to edit them all down. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
Then I decide where day
begins and night ends. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
That's what I call my time vector. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
This is kind of how it works. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
In this photograph
day begins on the far | 0:43:18 | 0:43:24 | |
right of the photograph and time
Tracks this way so it | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
literally goes across. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:28 | |
In the morning I was blessed, we had
an amazing rainbow that happens. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:38 | |
This is happening.Right now. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:43 | |
Then this time changes,
you have the afternoon | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
light and the rotation
of | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
the light and then of course sunset. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:48 | |
Photography has always been
an evolution, part alchemy, part | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
science, part magic, right? | 0:43:50 | 0:43:51 | |
And luck, really, right? | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
One of the things which is really
special about this image is | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
the elephants, that's
one frame, one moment. | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
I created a photograph
in the Serengeti when I was able to | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
witness for 26 hours amazing
communication between all these | 0:44:03 | 0:44:05 | |
different competing species
at a water hole. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
It felt almost biblical
when I was there. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:15 | |
I felt Noah was about to drop
the arc and load the animals. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
It was through that experience
that my work changed. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
I saw something in animal
communication that I never | 0:44:20 | 0:44:29 | |
read in a book before
or Scientists never described it. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
It is really important,
this is not a time-lapse. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
People think I set up a camera,
have a cappuccino and the camera | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
shoots every 30 seconds. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:38 | |
It does not work that way. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:43 | |
I am hand-cocking
a conventional large lens. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
Each time I take a picture, | 0:44:45 | 0:44:50 | |
I'd cock the shutter. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:52 | |
I am just capturing
on a digital back but | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
everything I do is traditional,
there is no automation. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:59 | |
Essentially I am a street
photographer - from 50 | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
feet in the air and I am
constantly looking, | 0:45:01 | 0:45:04 | |
constantly scouring the scene. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:05 | |
I never get bored because I am just
so afraid of missing a | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
magical moment. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:17 | |
I would like a job swap with him. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
This is Beyond One Hundred Days. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:20 | |
Still to come. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:21 | |
The fast food lovers
in a flap about chicken - | 0:45:21 | 0:45:24 | |
why some KFC stores in the UK had
to shut their doors. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:32 | |
The former football coach | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
Barry Bennell has been jailed | 0:45:35 | 0:45:37 | |
for thirty years for abusing 12
young footballers who he | 0:45:37 | 0:45:39 | |
trained in the 1980s. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:40 | |
Bennell - who was convicted of more
than 50 child sexual offences - | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
coached at a number of clubs
including Manchester City | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
and Crewe Alexandra. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:46 | |
The judge called the 64 year
old the "devil incarnate" who'd | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
stolen his victims childhoods. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:50 | |
Here's Dan Roan. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:57 | |
They came seeking closure, the
victims of Barry Bennell, | 0:45:57 | 0:46:01 | |
accompanied by their families
arriving at court for the sentencing | 0:46:01 | 0:46:04 | |
of British sport's most notorious
paedophile. The accused arrived at | 0:46:04 | 0:46:10 | |
from a different entrance after
being found guilty. Having appeared | 0:46:10 | 0:46:14 | |
throughout his trial by a video link
due to ill-health, today he was here | 0:46:14 | 0:46:19 | |
in person as he was handed a 31 year
prison sentence. The 64-year-old | 0:46:19 | 0:46:25 | |
MPEG -- in passive as his punishment
read out. Cries of yes from the | 0:46:25 | 0:46:33 | |
public gallery were hushed, outside
emotion came to the fore. Today we | 0:46:33 | 0:46:38 | |
looked evil in the face and we
smiled because Barry Bennell we have | 0:46:38 | 0:46:42 | |
one. We -- today we hand our shame,
guilt and sadness back to you, it | 0:46:42 | 0:46:52 | |
should never have been ours to
suffer in the first place. The care | 0:46:52 | 0:46:57 | |
and diligence he took in brimming
with victims and their families is | 0:46:57 | 0:47:02 | |
amongst the most manipulative
behaviour is insane. He was a | 0:47:02 | 0:47:06 | |
predatory paedophile and to the
state that is no evidence he has any | 0:47:06 | 0:47:11 | |
remorse or regrets but the dreams he
has shattered in the lives he has | 0:47:11 | 0:47:15 | |
damaged. Sentencing him, the judge
said, to these boys you appeared as | 0:47:15 | 0:47:21 | |
a God, in reality you were the devil
incarnate. He stole their childhood | 0:47:21 | 0:47:28 | |
and innocence to satisfied Europe
perversion. His abuse was sheer | 0:47:28 | 0:47:33 | |
evil, the judge said. -- to satisfy
your perversion. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:49 | |

Beyond One Hundred Days - | 0:47:49 | 0:47:59 | |
When your name is KFC -
or Kentucky Fried Chicken - | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
the one thing you really can't
afford to run out of is...chicken. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
But that's exactly what happened
to the fast-food chain | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
KFC at the weekend. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
The company had to close around 750
outlets across the UK - | 0:48:09 | 0:48:12 | |
after they ran out of their main
ingredient as Jon Kay reports. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:15 | |
No! | 0:48:15 | 0:48:16 | |
When you've been promised KFC
as a half term treat | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
but there is no chicken. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:19 | |
Nine-year-old Maxine is not happy. | 0:48:19 | 0:48:21 | |
Angry. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:22 | |
Sad. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:23 | |
And disappointed. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:24 | |
And hungry? | 0:48:24 | 0:48:25 | |
Very hungry! | 0:48:25 | 0:48:26 | |
Are you more hungry or angry? | 0:48:26 | 0:48:27 | |
Hungry! | 0:48:27 | 0:48:28 | |
It's not just Maxine's local outlet. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
Hundreds across the UK are shut
because KF has no C. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:36 | |
They've run out of chicken. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
Pretty shocking, really, to be fair. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:39 | |
Pretty shocking. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:40 | |
Especially when you're hungry, like,
you know what I mean? | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
KFC have blamed teething problems
with the new delivery contract. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:49 | |
They switched to DHL last week,
who say operational issues have | 0:48:49 | 0:48:52 | |
disrupted the supply. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:55 | |
It's a chicken place,
so they should have enough chicken. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:59 | |
They should be able to store it. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
It's a big chain, so it does seem
unbelievable, really. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:06 | |
All the chicken... | 0:49:06 | 0:49:07 | |
There's farmers, surely
there should be enough chickens. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
We tried several outlets
across Bristol today but found no | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
fingers being licked. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:17 | |
Almost every store closed. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
It's lunchtime. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:21 | |
You'd expect these hatches to be
really busy at this point | 0:49:21 | 0:49:24 | |
but the kitchen is empty,
the fryers switched off. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:31 | |
Chicken with fries, please. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:32 | |
Chicken with fries. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:33 | |
It's a far cry from this. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
Tonight, the company is encouraging
staff to take holidays until it can | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
meet the demand again. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:44 | |
KFC says its own employees will be
paid, but the large majority | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
of restaurants are franchises. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:48 | |
It just seems amazing. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:50 | |
I thought everything was pretty much
automated these days | 0:49:50 | 0:49:54 | |
and as they use chicken,
more's ordered. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:55 | |
Something has gone seriously wrong. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
The company says it's working flat
out to rectify the problem. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
But, for some, that is
little consolation. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:04 | |
Jon Kay, BBC News. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:14 | |
I think the kernel might get
court-martialed for that. I have the | 0:50:17 | 0:50:22 | |
potatoes and coleslaw but missing
something. | 0:50:22 | 0:50:33 | |
the whole point of security
conferences is to talk | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
about, doom and gloom. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:40 | |
But what made this year's
annual gathering in Munich | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
particularly depressing,
according to those who attended, | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
was the absence of any positive
vision for the future. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:46 | |
Whether it's East Asia,
the Middle East | 0:50:46 | 0:50:48 | |
or even Eastern Europe -
the view at this years conference | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
was that, there is in fact,
an increased risk of escalation. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
Many of the speeches underscored it
- perhaps in some cases, | 0:50:53 | 0:50:56 | |
there was fuel added to the fire. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:57 | |
Israel will not allow Iran's regime
to put a noose of terror around our | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
neck. We will act without hesitation
to defend ourselves and we will act | 0:51:00 | 0:51:05 | |
if necessary, not just against
Iran's proxies who are attacking us | 0:51:05 | 0:51:12 | |
but against Iran itself. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:17 | |
Let's speak to the Head
of Policy and Analysis | 0:51:17 | 0:51:25 | |
for the Munich Security Conference. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:34 | |
Your tweet said world politics is
worse than if you don't work there. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:39 | |
There are of reasons, I feel that we
have seen a lot of brinkmanship in | 0:51:39 | 0:51:47 | |
recent years. This year's conference
has added fuel to the fire as you | 0:51:47 | 0:51:53 | |
said in the beginning. We have seen
not a lot of constructive proposals. | 0:51:53 | 0:52:01 | |
We have heard some speeches that
were really confrontational. We also | 0:52:01 | 0:52:10 | |
were lacking any constructive
engagement so for instance, you | 0:52:10 | 0:52:14 | |
mentioned eastern Ukraine. The war
is still going on, people are dying | 0:52:14 | 0:52:18 | |
on a weekly if not daily basis. But
France, Russia and Ukraine did not | 0:52:18 | 0:52:30 | |
even meet at the conference. It is
even worse regarding North Korea and | 0:52:30 | 0:52:34 | |
Syria. A lot of people will see look
at the United States, perhaps | 0:52:34 | 0:52:42 | |
because there is a different
president with America as the first | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
priority, is that a factor in this?
Yes of course, that is the big | 0:52:46 | 0:52:52 | |
elephant in the ring. There was a
big delegation from the United | 0:52:52 | 0:52:58 | |
States which tried to reassure the
Europeans. Some of them said please | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
ignore the tweaks and focus on what
we do, not just what we tweet. In | 0:53:02 | 0:53:12 | |
Munich, the US looks like a
rudderless ship. The crew might be | 0:53:12 | 0:53:17 | |
doing fine but it is not enough if
the captain is... We do not know | 0:53:17 | 0:53:23 | |
what the captain is up to. It is
just not enough and that is the most | 0:53:23 | 0:53:29 | |
worrying trend, what you would call
the traditional guardian of the | 0:53:29 | 0:53:34 | |
Liberal International order, the
United States, and its Western | 0:53:34 | 0:53:40 | |
allies, they just seem overwhelmed,
maybe even paralysed. There are not | 0:53:40 | 0:53:45 | |
that many good proposals. We have
seen a lot of good analysis of the | 0:53:45 | 0:53:51 | |
situation were then but we haven't
seen that many strategies or ideas | 0:53:51 | 0:53:57 | |
how to overcome the situation. We
are nearly out of time but a lot of | 0:53:57 | 0:54:04 | |
these conflicts are classical, with
intractable issues and lots of | 0:54:04 | 0:54:08 | |
governments have struggled with
some, the point of a conference like | 0:54:08 | 0:54:10 | |
this is to look at long-term
challenges to security and ease | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
think the West is failing to get to
grips with it? We are trying to | 0:54:14 | 0:54:20 | |
grasp the new age. We had side
events on artificial intelligence | 0:54:20 | 0:54:25 | |
and climate change and also
traditional topics that have come | 0:54:25 | 0:54:29 | |
back at us again, for instance
nuclear issues. We are at the start | 0:54:29 | 0:54:36 | |
of a new nuclear race I think.
Apparently right now, it is just too | 0:54:36 | 0:54:41 | |
much. Always good to get your
thoughts, thank you very much. I was | 0:54:41 | 0:54:48 | |
reading the comments of a former
American diplomat who comes this | 0:54:48 | 0:54:53 | |
programme very much who said it was
striking to hear from the rest of | 0:54:53 | 0:54:57 | |
the world how far they notice states
has fallen. But that is leadership | 0:54:57 | 0:55:04 | |
from Washington but perhaps just not
the leadership the rest of Europe | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
wants to see. Conventional politics
demands a certain role from the | 0:55:07 | 0:55:14 | |
United States. Donald Trump got
elected with a mandate to do things | 0:55:14 | 0:55:19 | |
differently in terms of
international relations. Obviously | 0:55:19 | 0:55:22 | |
the big slogan is America first
which does not mean America alone in | 0:55:22 | 0:55:26 | |
the world but he would choose where
he wants to engage in the battle | 0:55:26 | 0:55:31 | |
against Islamic State, America has
been quite successful but in other | 0:55:31 | 0:55:37 | |
areas, the rest of the world would
like America to be part of the fight | 0:55:37 | 0:55:44 | |
against global climate change but he
will have nothing to do with it. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
They just do not like what America
is doing. These are new times we're | 0:55:47 | 0:55:53 | |
living in and that is why we have
beyond 100 days so that we can look | 0:55:53 | 0:55:59 | |
these issues. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:00 |
