0:01:19 > 0:01:22Seven years into the Syrian civil war the battlefield grows
0:01:22 > 0:01:23ever more complicated.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Turkey has made incursions in the north, Russia and Iran
0:01:25 > 0:01:30are fighting with the regime, and the US has sided with Kurdish
0:01:30 > 0:01:39militias that helped to defeat Islamic State.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The rebel territory that once spanned the country has now shrunk
0:01:41 > 0:01:44to small pockets in the north-west, the south, and the eastern Ghouta
0:01:44 > 0:01:45region just oustide Damascus.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48This week over 200 people have been killed in Eastern Ghouta,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50its the deadliest period of fighting in Syria in three years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Today the United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen reports.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57This could be the beginning of the end of a rebellion
0:01:57 > 0:01:59in Eastern Ghouta that began in 2012.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01All the other smaller rebel-held enclaves around Damascus have been
0:02:01 > 0:02:02starved and bombed into submission.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03EXPLOSION.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Now, it looks to be Eastern Ghouta's turn as the regime

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Activists say this is as bad as it's been.
0:02:26 > 0:02:36We can hear the shout and crying of women and children
0:02:41 > 0:02:44through the windows of their homes under the missiles and mortars
0:02:44 > 0:02:45dropping on us like rain.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare in Eastern Ghouta.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58A generation has been born into the war.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Dozens have been killed by it in the last few
0:03:00 > 0:03:09hours in Eastern Ghouta.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Over the years of siege, they've set up a network
0:03:12 > 0:03:13of underground hospitals.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15This girl, named in Arabic, Angel, escaped the worst,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37to be a barrel bomb, unguided - an indiscriminate killer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38The Syrian regime denies attacking civilians.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42It says it's trying to liberate Eastern Ghouta from terrorists.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Eastern Ghouta is a sprawling mix of concrete suburbs and farmland,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46starting about nine miles east of Damascus' city centre.
0:03:46 > 0:03:56The Syrian rebels that have controlled it since 2012 include
0:04:01 > 0:04:03several Islamist militias, including one with its
0:04:03 > 0:04:04roots in Al-Qaeda.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Eastern Ghouta is surrounded by Syrian government forces.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Before the war, it was just a short drive from the Syrian
0:04:09 > 0:04:16presidential palace.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Officially, it's been designated a de-escalation zone,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21that is an empty phrase.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Force decides what happens in Syria.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27After seven years, Syria's war isn't ending, but it's changing.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30President Assad, with the help of Russia and Iran, is now secure,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34but Syria is linked into a web of war and power politics,
0:04:35 > 0:04:41which guarantees more bloodshed.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44How many times in the last seven years have Syrians dug
0:04:44 > 0:04:48through the rubble for survivors?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51There's talk of safe corridors out for civilians,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54but based on past form, the regime wants victory
0:04:54 > 0:04:56in Eastern Ghouta and the surrender of the rebels.
0:04:56 > 0:05:06Jeremy Bowen, BBC News.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25and war which is threatened to go out and clear the forces.Why has
0:05:25 > 0:05:32that such dangerous implications? Can return to the northern border
0:05:32 > 0:05:39which is under the control of the Kurdish militia.Yes, this is the
0:05:39 > 0:05:44third area along the border controlled by the militia. The Turks
0:05:44 > 0:05:48essentially have had enough. They launched an incursion as you do go
0:05:48 > 0:05:55towards the east to drive militias away from that area. A couple of
0:05:55 > 0:05:58weeks ago they launched another incursion to drive the Kurdish
0:05:58 > 0:06:04forces out of this area entirely. They have not made a huge amount of
0:06:04 > 0:06:11progress so far. They have not reached the main town of the area,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14but Turkish government is saying that is there even, they would take
0:06:14 > 0:06:21that time. Today we saw a new development. It was broadcast on
0:06:21 > 0:06:27Syrian state media that the Syrian military would get involved. Not the
0:06:27 > 0:06:32regular army but the militia which has been doing much of the fighting
0:06:32 > 0:06:36on behalf of Syria. They went into the region. The Turks say they were
0:06:36 > 0:06:42heading towards the main city and got close and then shelled them. I
0:06:42 > 0:06:49think the idea was not to kill them but to warn them off.We are
0:06:49 > 0:06:54concerned because generally speaking these big powers now in Syria
0:06:54 > 0:06:58filling the holes are still there. If we look at the map, we're in a
0:06:58 > 0:07:03third stage of the war, rebels have been defeated, so-called Islamic
0:07:03 > 0:07:09state has gone and we have the major powers, America, Turkey and Russia
0:07:09 > 0:07:16and Iran in the mix, weird is from here?This is the fear that these
0:07:16 > 0:07:23powers using proxy forces, either in support of the rebels or in support
0:07:23 > 0:07:29of the rebels, both of those battles are almost over so they are facing
0:07:29 > 0:07:34up against each other. This particular conflict pits the Turks
0:07:34 > 0:07:42against the hated states, so two Nato allies. The US have to make a
0:07:42 > 0:07:51decision. -- the United States. Essentially, if they become too much
0:07:51 > 0:07:58trouble, will be quietly let them go?That begs the question, what is
0:07:58 > 0:08:03the US strategy in Syria? Originally it was just to defeat IS but what is
0:08:03 > 0:08:11it now?It has moved on. Originally it was to make sure that the
0:08:11 > 0:08:15coalition defeats IS and that has happened but the US is saying that
0:08:15 > 0:08:21even though they have been defeated territorially, IS could still come
0:08:21 > 0:08:24back so US troops need to be there to make sure that does not happen
0:08:24 > 0:08:29but you have the Russians and the Iranians who backed President Assad.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33They are saying we came at the invitation of the sovereign
0:08:33 > 0:08:38government, you did not. You have no reason to be here any more. The US
0:08:38 > 0:08:44government does not really have a strong chance to that statement.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50Thank you. No sign at the moment of any solutions.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Special counsel Robert Mueller has unveiled
0:08:52 > 0:08:53new charges in the Russia probe.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Alex Van Der Zwaan is accused of making false statements
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and misleading investigators - regarding his communications
0:08:57 > 0:08:59with Rick Gates, a partner of former Trump campaign manager
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Paul Manafort, who has also been charged in the probe.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05On Friday Mueller indicted 13 Russians.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11President Trump has been tweeting about the investigation ever since.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Among today's numerous entries was this one: (TWEET) I have been
0:09:14 > 0:09:16much tougher on Russia than Obama, just look at the facts.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Total Fake News!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21For more on the investigation and the president's response
0:09:21 > 0:09:24we are joined by David Frum - former speechwriter for George W
0:09:24 > 0:09:30bush and author of Trumpocracy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34On that last tweet, is it true Donald Trump has been tougher on the
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Russians?It could not be a more extreme version of the truth.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45President Trump thinks no one can remember more than 12 hours in the
0:09:45 > 0:09:49past but throughout the election of 2016, President Trump implored
0:09:49 > 0:09:57Russian help and benefited from it. His campaign delivered on a series
0:09:57 > 0:10:04of leaks, including the sanctions that Congress almost passed for
0:10:04 > 0:10:10helping Trump which have not been implemented.The tendency is to
0:10:10 > 0:10:15focus on the personality of Donald Trump but your book says focus on
0:10:15 > 0:10:19what is happening. You argue there are constitutional scenes which are
0:10:19 > 0:10:26starting to split?Exactly. United States is a big bureaucratic state,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30one person can only do so much on its own. Donald Trump is at the
0:10:30 > 0:10:35centre of the system which failed to stop and no enables them. There is
0:10:35 > 0:10:41hope that a lot of institutions will check him but it is just a fancy way
0:10:41 > 0:10:47of seeing acting together and it does not happen automatically.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Remember the question about how many people does it take in Poland,
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Romania or Albania to screw in a light bulb? That is just like the
0:10:57 > 0:11:02question about institutions. Regarding the Russian investigation,
0:11:02 > 0:11:08a lot of people are saying that Russians have infected the American
0:11:08 > 0:11:13political system but perhaps the disease was already there and the
0:11:13 > 0:11:20Russians have exacerbated the problems?That is also true. We talk
0:11:20 > 0:11:23about pre-existing conditions which enabled Donald Trump. American
0:11:23 > 0:11:29democracy has been going wrong for some time. Democracy has gone wrong
0:11:29 > 0:11:35around the world. We're in democratic recession. If you ask
0:11:35 > 0:11:41people, is it indispensable to live in a democratic state? People in the
0:11:41 > 0:11:551930s, 90% say yes. Let's say yes after that. -- less safe. Characters
0:11:55 > 0:11:59like Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen are taking advantage of decay in
0:11:59 > 0:12:07democracy.The title of your book is Trumpocracy, is it possible to have
0:12:07 > 0:12:12a Trumpocracy and a liberal democracy?We are going to have
0:12:12 > 0:12:17issues. Democracy is a system of power that does not accept a lot of
0:12:17 > 0:12:24restraints. It also challenges the idea of universal voting. One thing
0:12:24 > 0:12:28which has happened in United States is that the Republican parties of
0:12:28 > 0:12:34which I am a member, has signed up a radical agenda which does not meet
0:12:34 > 0:12:40the popular task. This means it will be increasingly difficult for people
0:12:40 > 0:12:46to vote, in ways that gradually shrink who the electorate is.Thank
0:12:46 > 0:12:55you so much for being with us. A great pleasure to have you.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It's not just the United States where the Trump
0:12:58 > 0:12:59name is making waves.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01India has been hosting the eldest son of the President -
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Donald Trump Jr - who is on a promotional tour
0:13:04 > 0:13:08to sell Trump-branded flats to wealthy Indian customers.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10But his visit is also raising questions about the Trump
0:13:10 > 0:13:12family's business interests, and the lines between personal
0:13:12 > 0:13:13profit and politics.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15As Rajini Vaidyanathan reports from New Delhi.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Trump has arrived, have you?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That's what these front page ads across a number of national
0:13:19 > 0:13:24newspapers are asking as they promote Donald Trump Jr's
0:13:24 > 0:13:27visit to India this week.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28India is an incredibly important market to our brand.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It is now home to the largest portfolio of Trump properties
0:13:31 > 0:13:32outside of North America.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The President's son is here to sell some of the Trump Corporation's
0:13:35 > 0:13:37apartments in India, including a number of flats
0:13:37 > 0:13:40which will be built here, which is a suburb of Delhi,
0:13:40 > 0:13:45about an hour from the city.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49When they are finished they will be a 47 storey high luxury
0:13:49 > 0:13:50luxury apartment building.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52With a price tag of over $1 million.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55They can be seen from everywhere.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Anyone who pays a deposit for a flat this week also gets an invite
0:13:59 > 0:14:01to dinner and a conversation with the man himself.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03There are concerns that even if he's not a politician,
0:14:03 > 0:14:09this amounts to selling access to the President's son,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11that said, the buzz around this visit is
0:14:11 > 0:14:12attracting potential buyers.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17This is a criminal lawyer who is considering a purchase.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Because of its brand value, we were more
0:14:19 > 0:14:21attracted to this project.
0:14:21 > 0:14:21That is correct.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Do you like the Trump family?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Of course, in India, the majority of people
0:14:27 > 0:14:28like the Trump family.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30What do you like about them?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The way they carry themselves.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It is the way they project themselves.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40This project is going to be a masterpiece, not just for the city
0:14:40 > 0:14:41but also for the Trump portfolio.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46We do not know what is on the menu for Friday's dinner but Indian media
0:14:46 > 0:14:49is reporting that Donald Jr has a particular liking for Dal makhani
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and chicken tikka masala.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53On Friday he will be delivering a speech on Indo Pacific
0:14:53 > 0:14:56relations at a conference where the Indian Prime Minister
0:14:56 > 0:14:59will also be speaking.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03That has raised some questions, why is Donald Jr, a nonpolitical
0:15:03 > 0:15:06member of the family and not part of the administration,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08delivering what appears to be a foreign policy speech
0:15:08 > 0:15:18when he is here in India to sell flats?
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Our reporter is spending a bit of time delay. It is so fascinating.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Ethically, how do you separate everything, business from
0:15:30 > 0:15:33government? There are no hermetically sealed boxes where you
0:15:33 > 0:15:39can do this because it is a family business and it is a brand with the
0:15:39 > 0:15:47name Trump.I remember the first day of becoming president and he stood
0:15:47 > 0:15:52in front of the table with all these files of his businesses and he said,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57I am putting these all to one side when I am president, they will be
0:15:57 > 0:16:00assigned to the family but perhaps that is no dividing line between the
0:16:00 > 0:16:07president and the family.If you add a diplomat coming to Washington,
0:16:07 > 0:16:15which hotel will you stay in? At the Marriott, Hilton or Trump Tower?
0:16:15 > 0:16:23Complicated.Anyway, let us move on.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, has signalled
0:16:25 > 0:16:28the government will support moves to ensure a special deal for EU farm
0:16:29 > 0:16:29workers after Brexit.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Speaking at the National Farmers Union conference
0:16:31 > 0:16:33in Birmingham he outlined his plans to replace the present
0:16:33 > 0:16:35system of subsidies - with funding for issues such
0:16:35 > 0:16:36as conservation and animal welfare.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39At present - payments amounting to £3bn a year to UK farmers
0:16:39 > 0:16:43are based on the amount of land that they own.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Campaigners say the government should criminalise
0:16:45 > 0:16:49"upskirting" as a sexual offence after police data showed one
0:16:49 > 0:16:53complainant was 10 years old.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The practice of covertly photographing under the skirts
0:16:56 > 0:17:03of women is currently not recognised as a specific offence.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Figures released following a Freedom of Information have found there have
0:17:05 > 0:17:08been just 11 charges related to upskirting since 2015.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Another athlete from the Winter Olympics
0:17:10 > 0:17:13in South Korea has been banned for doping.
0:17:13 > 0:17:1929-year-old Slovenian men's ice hockey player,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Ziga Jeglic has tested positive for the asthma drug, fenoterol.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Jeglic scored the shoot-out winner against Slovakia at the weekend.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26He's been ordered to leave the Olympic Village within the next
0:17:26 > 0:17:3524 hours and reportedly accepted an anti-doping rule violation.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38There is always an air of chaos about Italian politics.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40There have been more than 60 different heads of government
0:17:40 > 0:17:41since the Second World War.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And the election in two weeks time will be no different.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The electoral rules will prevent any one party from taking power.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52So, whatever happens on March 4th, there will be a period
0:17:52 > 0:17:55of coalition building, which as we have seen in Germany
0:17:55 > 0:17:57is never straight forward.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So here's a quick explainer.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The populist Five Star movement is leading in virtually
0:18:02 > 0:18:05every poll and looks set to gain the largest number of seats
0:18:05 > 0:18:09in the lower house, the chamber of deputies.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10The ruling centre left Democratic Party
0:18:10 > 0:18:15is trailing in second place.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19And even with the support of two smaller centre left allies
0:18:19 > 0:18:22"More Europe" and "Together" looks to be short of the votes it needs.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Then, there is Forza Italia,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27the centre right party of Silvio Berlusconi.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30He is banned from holding office but he remains the leader
0:18:30 > 0:18:34of his party and a powerful figure in Italian politics.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36With the support of the smaller populist parties on the right,
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Lega Nord, the Brothers of Italy and Us with Italy, they could end up
0:18:41 > 0:18:43with the biggest share of the vote, BUT without a parliamentary
0:18:43 > 0:18:49majority.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50MARCHELLO SORJEE is Political Editor with
0:18:50 > 0:18:55the La Stampa and joins me.
0:18:55 > 0:19:05Good evening.5-star movement, promised to take on the endemic
0:19:05 > 0:19:10corruption in Italian politics and now finds itself embroiled in its
0:19:10 > 0:19:16own scandal, tell us about that. According to the polls, the 5-star
0:19:16 > 0:19:24movement continues to be the first party for votes. I think the
0:19:24 > 0:19:38electors say that the scandal regarded 1.5 million euros. But 21
0:19:38 > 0:19:51million have been returned. Sue the electors see 5-star is essentially
0:19:51 > 0:19:58an anti-corruption party and to maintain the integrity of MPs
0:19:58 > 0:20:08against the MPs they see are totally dishonest. It is important the
0:20:08 > 0:20:14scandal because in the south of Italy, the competition is between
0:20:14 > 0:20:17the 5-star movement and centre-right. This could affect the
0:20:17 > 0:20:23way people vote. The shape of
0:20:23 > 0:20:26constituencies could change the results of the election.We have
0:20:26 > 0:20:33seen in France and Holland the populist parties have been seen off
0:20:33 > 0:20:37but, it shows people how it works, the 5-star moment might not have
0:20:37 > 0:20:46enough votes. Might not other parties on the right to form a
0:20:46 > 0:20:51majority?At the moment, the 5-star moment -- movement is rejecting any
0:20:51 > 0:20:57alliance. It is really difficult that one single party could win the
0:20:57 > 0:21:05election. Because the vote is to thirst proportional and one third
0:21:05 > 0:21:21single. So to win elections, a party or coalition needs 40% of the votes
0:21:21 > 0:21:30and 70% in the constituencies. It is impossible to take 70% of the seats
0:21:30 > 0:21:35in the constituencies. If the 5-star movement changes its plan after the
0:21:35 > 0:21:44vote and for example, goes to an alliance with leg, probably they
0:21:44 > 0:21:55would go to a new government.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03If the 5-star movement becomes the biggest party in the Parliament,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07what does that mean for the European Parliament -- for the EU because
0:22:07 > 0:22:16they are not pro-European?I think the Italian elections have always
0:22:16 > 0:22:21been important. We cannot forget in Italy there was the most important
0:22:21 > 0:22:28Communist Party. I think this time the Italian elections are important
0:22:28 > 0:22:36to Europe because they are similar to France, Germany and UK elections.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42In the era of populism and uncontrolled migration from Africa,
0:22:42 > 0:22:47the Italian election is important. Thank you very much for coming in
0:22:47 > 0:22:53and we will hear from you a lot more in the run-up to the election.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Right, forget Brexit, the biggest crisis facing the UK,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57right now, is the chicken shortage at KFC.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Branches around the UK have remained closed today much to the frustration
0:23:00 > 0:23:01of regular customers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Sima Kotecha has been on a chicken hunt in Birmingham.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07For chicken lovers and fast-food fans it is another day of sadness.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Hundreds of KFC stores closed across the country
0:23:13 > 0:23:23because of a shortage of Britain's most popular bird meat.
0:23:23 > 0:23:30Absolutely unbelievable, how could you run out of chicken in a KFC?.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31of chicken in a KFC?.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34This KFC in the centre of Birmingham is open but it has a limited menu.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36It serves only chicken popcorn.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38The chain says almost 600 remain closed around
0:23:38 > 0:23:41the country and it is not clear when they will be back open.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44KFC says it has happened because it has changed distributors.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It used to use South African owned company Bidvest to transport
0:23:47 > 0:23:50chicken but recently changed to DHL, and that is why they say they have
0:23:50 > 0:23:51had some teething problems.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54We saw this coming weeks ago, people last week were earning money,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56working on a good product, providing good customer service
0:23:56 > 0:24:01and today they will struggle to put food on the table.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Then looking at the people working in the 900 KFC stores,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07they have been sent home with no pay.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10DHL says due to operational reasons a number of deliveries in recent
0:24:10 > 0:24:15days have been incomplete.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17They moved what looked like a relatively uncomplicated
0:24:17 > 0:24:20supply chain to a more complicated one and they do not seem to have
0:24:20 > 0:24:22pressure tested it at all.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25For any organisation to do that seems bizarre at best.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Customers have complained and social media.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The chain says some staff will still be paid but many
0:24:32 > 0:24:35of its outlets are franchises, so it is likely they
0:24:35 > 0:24:42will make losses.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Fried chicken is not everybody's favoured but for those who love it,
0:24:45 > 0:24:46patience is wearing thin.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49KFC says more deliveries are being made each day but it
0:24:49 > 0:24:50expects disruption at some restaurants for
0:24:50 > 0:25:00the rest of the week.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07I guarantee she has never delivered a piece to camera like that, there
0:25:07 > 0:25:11is only popcorn at this restaurant. Is this that happened when I was a
0:25:11 > 0:25:18student, there would be hysteria at our student -- student digs. If you
0:25:18 > 0:25:22look at the KFC website, they have drawn a useful map with all the
0:25:22 > 0:25:28towns which have chicken and all those which do not. So if you have
0:25:28 > 0:25:35to sign a shop with chicken, you can find on the map. They will send the
0:25:35 > 0:25:39lorries round another time.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11Wednesday, a largely fine day, still from cloud left over from that
0:27:11 > 0:27:15weather front. Perhaps the odd spot of drizzle in the England and Wales
0:27:15 > 0:27:22but most boys will get brightness. A little colder than today with highs

0:27:35 > 0:27:42degrees in Norwich on Thursday. It will feel colder. That wind will
0:27:42 > 0:27:49come into play by the weekend and next week, notice easterly winds
0:27:49 > 0:27:57remaining strong for London and Cardiff. A fine weekend to come far
0:27:57 > 0:28:06as but the era coming our way comes all the way from Siberia,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10particularly cold at the moment, that cold air are starting to push
0:28:10 > 0:28:15across the British Isles come Monday and Tuesday and we will feel it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20Next week a lot of fine weather and decent sunshine with widespread
0:28:20 > 0:28:32frost. That wind will be especially raw.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07When senior figures in the British government meet this
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Thursday at the Prime Minister's country residence, Chequers,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13to discuss Brexit, they will be taking part in one of the most
0:31:13 > 0:31:14crucial discussions thus far.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17At stake, the pivotal question: what does the cabinet want
0:31:17 > 0:31:22the future customs arrangements with the EU to be?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Today in Vienna ahead of that Thursday meeting,
0:31:25 > 0:31:27the Brexit Secretary David Davis said the UK wants "close,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31even-handed co-operation" with EU regulatory authorities,
0:31:31 > 0:31:41even after it has withdrawn from the bloc.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Brexit will inevitably mean a change in the way companies do business.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Brexit will inevitably mean a change in the way companies do business. It
0:31:48 > 0:31:52has two before we are to make good on the referendum result and Cava
0:31:52 > 0:31:57power for Britain to strike at seven trade deals, have its own
0:31:57 > 0:32:01immigration policy and make our Courts sovereign once more. My
0:32:01 > 0:32:05message to you in this room is that these goals will not change the kind
0:32:05 > 0:32:10of country that Britain is. A dynamic and open country. That
0:32:10 > 0:32:17supports businesses to grow, innovate, in a competitive, open and
0:32:17 > 0:32:21fair market. One leading a race to the top and global standards.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Trade as frictionless as possible, is the phrase
0:32:23 > 0:32:24ministers keep using.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26But what kind of framework would reassure investors.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Over the next month in the run up to March 29th, by which point the UK
0:32:30 > 0:32:33will have just one year left until it leaves the EU,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35we are going to talk some of the country's
0:32:35 > 0:32:36leading business brains.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38And we are going to start today, with Scotland's first
0:32:38 > 0:32:42billionaire, the investor Sir Tom Hunter.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45The idea of making our own decisions, getting rid
0:32:45 > 0:32:48of bureaucracy in Brussels, and getting on with it
0:32:48 > 0:32:51would appeal to me.
0:32:51 > 0:33:00But we are nearly two years down the line from taking the vote
0:33:00 > 0:33:03and things are not that much clearer.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07We still do not have the facts of why this is good for Britain.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10As a businessman do you think that we should have some freedom
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and pull away from the customs union so we can do our own trade deals
0:33:14 > 0:33:16with whoever we like, and businessmen like that kind
0:33:16 > 0:33:18of freedom, or do you think we should tie ourselves
0:33:18 > 0:33:23to our biggest market even if that takes away some of that freedom?
0:33:23 > 0:33:28As a businessman I want to do the easiest way of doing business
0:33:28 > 0:33:31with Europe and indeed the rest of the world that there is.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33No tariffs, no regulation, as little periods to do
0:33:34 > 0:33:40these deals as we can.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44It just seems to me that there is no clarity and the one thing businesses
0:33:44 > 0:33:50hate is uncertainty.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52So how does that affect West Coast capital, your company?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56You invest them in a broad portfolio of companies in retail,
0:33:56 > 0:34:01in property, technology, do you look at certain sectors
0:34:01 > 0:34:03of the British economy and say that is high risk
0:34:03 > 0:34:06because of all the uncertainties there are, do you stay away
0:34:06 > 0:34:08from those sectors and pick others?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11We do invest in companies who are doing business in Europe
0:34:11 > 0:34:19but some of them are having to take on extra overhead, building
0:34:19 > 0:34:21a new logistics warehouse in Europe,
0:34:21 > 0:34:22in the eventuality of what may happen.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24You are already seeing that happening?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25I'm already seeing that happening.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But frankly these companies are having to guess,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30having to second-guess the politicians as to where
0:34:30 > 0:34:38we're going to end up.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41And I know that some of the companies are not making these
0:34:41 > 0:34:42investment decisions.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43So some people are just doing nothing.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46But would you invest in them, would Brexit stop you from investing
0:34:46 > 0:34:47in British companies?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I do know of some companies who are putting off
0:34:50 > 0:34:55investment decisions today because of the uncertainty.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I must ask you since you are one of the billionaires in Scotland,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01not the only any more, I think there are now a couple.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04There are plenty now.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06OK so Nicola Sturgeon post Brexit, argued that because Scotland had
0:35:06 > 0:35:09voted to remain the question of another independence referendum
0:35:09 > 0:35:12was back on the table.
0:35:12 > 0:35:21Can you make an argument for Scotland going its
0:35:21 > 0:35:22own way post Brexit?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25My argument at the present time is look at all the uncertainty that
0:35:25 > 0:35:28voting to leave Europe has caused.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31And try and put that in the context of Scotland
0:35:32 > 0:35:35trying to leave the union.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40I think we would be in an unholy mess if we did that today.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'm not saying never.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45I'm saying definitely not now.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51So let me press you just to finish, if you were sitting round the table
0:35:51 > 0:35:55with a Board of Directors and had to get a deal tomorrow on Brexit,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57what would you be pushing for?
0:35:57 > 0:36:02Well from a business point of view I want to have friction free trade.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05So I do not want regulation, I do not want any tariffs,
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I do not want any red tape.
0:36:09 > 0:36:15So can Brexit deliver that for British business?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17And if a politician made the argument which said
0:36:17 > 0:36:21to me in the short-term, up to three years, we may be worse
0:36:21 > 0:36:24off but in the long-term, over ten years, we will be better
0:36:24 > 0:36:27off, that is an argument that I would listen to.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29But I have not heard that articulated from any
0:36:29 > 0:36:38politician as of yet.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40So is there a model which might satisfy Sir Tom
0:36:40 > 0:36:42and investors like him?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Some senior figures in the Conservative Party
0:36:45 > 0:36:47are warming to a solution that's been put forward by the UK's
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Institute of Directors.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53The IoD is advocating leaving the customs union,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55in line with the PM's Lancaster House statement,
0:36:55 > 0:36:57and the UK instead signing up
0:36:57 > 0:37:01to a bespoke, partial customs union with the EU.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03The agreement would cover industrial goods and some
0:37:03 > 0:37:07processed agricultural goods, which would remove they say any need
0:37:07 > 0:37:11for technical information relating to the ORIGIN of products.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13That could be combined with a free trade
0:37:13 > 0:37:15agreement, which would allow trade in certain goods to be
0:37:15 > 0:37:20as frictionless as possible, including with Ireland.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23The author of the IoD proposal is Allie Renson,
0:37:23 > 0:37:29she joins us from our Dundee studio.
0:37:29 > 0:37:36Great to have you with us. So not the customs union, not a customs
0:37:36 > 0:37:41union but a partial customs union. Yes I think we need to separate out
0:37:41 > 0:37:44what is inevitable. We are living customs union, it is difficult to
0:37:44 > 0:37:51see how the UK could stay part of it. It is in the EU treaties. And
0:37:51 > 0:37:56then it is difficult to make the argument that we should be in a full
0:37:56 > 0:37:59customs union and part of EU trade agreements because they do not
0:37:59 > 0:38:02negotiate trade agreements with other people. So we need that
0:38:02 > 0:38:05flexibility anyway and the question is how you square that with trying
0:38:05 > 0:38:11to avoid costly rules of origin applying to manufacturing and
0:38:11 > 0:38:15industrial goods. This is how we see a way of squaring the circle to a
0:38:15 > 0:38:22degree.But isn't it is not without friction but slightly less friction?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Well we are clear in the report it does not remove all barriers to
0:38:25 > 0:38:30trade with the EU and far from it. You would have to look at the
0:38:30 > 0:38:33regulatory relationship we have with the single market once we are
0:38:33 > 0:38:37outside it. There is a lot of technical facilitating solutions we
0:38:37 > 0:38:43need to be added on to make that border in Ireland frictionless but
0:38:43 > 0:38:47it removes a huge barrier to trade for manufacturers concerned about
0:38:47 > 0:38:51the supply chain being disrupted by having rules of origin applied to
0:38:51 > 0:38:55trade with the EU.The Prime Minister tells us not to look at
0:38:55 > 0:38:58models that already exist but the model you describe sounds pretty
0:38:58 > 0:39:03similar to the Turkish model. Structure in terms of what it covers
0:39:03 > 0:39:07potentially is the same starting point. The differences when some
0:39:07 > 0:39:12people argue that without constraint the EU would be hampered in finding
0:39:12 > 0:39:16trade agreements with third countries, Turkey has been somewhat
0:39:16 > 0:39:20unable to do the same in terms of getting reciprocal market access
0:39:20 > 0:39:24every time the EU does a trade agreement. But the EU and Turkey
0:39:24 > 0:39:28have different starting positions with respect to their global trade
0:39:28 > 0:39:32ambitions. So I think this is a good base on which to build and try to
0:39:32 > 0:39:37fix some deficiencies that exist in the Turkish model which actually are
0:39:37 > 0:39:40already being addressed between Turkey and the EU.The Prime
0:39:40 > 0:39:46Minister said -- says she will lock them into Chequers until they come
0:39:46 > 0:39:50up with a solution. Is this the right balance then?I think it is
0:39:50 > 0:39:55part of the puzzle and important bits of it. But the reason we were
0:39:55 > 0:39:59keen to get the message out is to say that being in a partial customs
0:39:59 > 0:40:04union does not mean in any way that you're constrained from negotiating
0:40:04 > 0:40:07your own trade agreements. That is an important message for certain
0:40:07 > 0:40:14parts of government to realise.I can think of worse places to be
0:40:14 > 0:40:15locked into them Chequers!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Right now busses loaded with students from Parkland, Florida
0:40:18 > 0:40:19are headed to the state's capital.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Less than a week after their high school was the scene
0:40:22 > 0:40:24of a mass shooting - which left 17 people dead -
0:40:24 > 0:40:27they are calling for change in gun control laws.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Tomorrow they will be marching and meeting
0:40:29 > 0:40:34with legislators in Tallahassee.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Giuliana Matamoros is among those making the trip and she spoke to me
0:40:37 > 0:40:42right before she left.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Tell me what you're doing today, how many people you are travelling with,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47what your expectations are?
0:40:47 > 0:40:52We are going to Tallahassee.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53We're going to get there around eight o'clock.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57I'm going with about 100 kids.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58And our expectations for tomorrow, because that is when all
0:40:58 > 0:41:02the meetings are, is to be able to talk to these representatives,
0:41:02 > 0:41:07people who have authority, and for them to listen to us.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09For them to consider a change so nothing
0:41:09 > 0:41:10like this can happen again.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13We really want our voices to be heard.
0:41:13 > 0:41:19To have an opportunity to be able to talk to them is amazing.
0:41:19 > 0:41:28We are making history, we are doing this for our angels that we gained.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31And I'm so very proud of my school that we're doing this.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I'm proud of my nation for supporting us.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35And are you going to the meetings with a list of demands
0:41:35 > 0:41:39about the changes you want to see in the gun laws or are you just
0:41:39 > 0:41:42going to say look guys, you figure it out, there has
0:41:42 > 0:41:48to be change?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51No, we are going with proposals, that is what we're going to discuss
0:41:51 > 0:41:53during the bus ride there.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Since everyone is going to be together, that is a chance
0:41:56 > 0:41:59for all of us to talk and see what we're going demand.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03We're not just going there just to talk, we're going there to talk
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and for them to listen and take action.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Do you think that there is something in the atmosphere that has changed
0:42:10 > 0:42:14which means that all these young people coming together to talk
0:42:14 > 0:42:17about the need for change will actually lead to change
0:42:17 > 0:42:20in the United States?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24I think now it is different.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Because we have all this technology, we have a bigger audience
0:42:27 > 0:42:32we can reach out to.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36I feel the atmosphere is just unity, we do not want this to happen any
0:42:36 > 0:42:40more, we're tired of hearing it on the news.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42We just want action, we need it to happen.
0:42:42 > 0:42:453000 kids in one school, that is a big family enough.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49And having a lot of the nation coming in and supporting us as well,
0:42:49 > 0:42:50that is what is changing.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54We are able to have that voice and able to be heard.
0:42:54 > 0:43:03Thank you very much indeed for being with us.
0:43:06 > 0:43:13And I will be in Tallahassee with that demonstration tomorrow. And she
0:43:13 > 0:43:16said they would discuss their policy position on the bus. They're not a
0:43:16 > 0:43:20conventional political force which may be a bigger weakness but also
0:43:20 > 0:43:25their strength. People are rallying and thinking maybe they have a
0:43:25 > 0:43:31message that we need to listen to.I saw a couple of drafts of bipartisan
0:43:31 > 0:43:36proposals that have been put forward and the Florida State house, their
0:43:36 > 0:43:42statement goes much further with proposals on semiautomatic weapons,
0:43:42 > 0:43:48background checks, time-outs for those who should not have guns. The
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Congress version looks like just an imposition of the law that is
0:43:51 > 0:43:54already there.I think there is a change in the air. It may come to
0:43:54 > 0:43:57nothing but these young people are driving something at the moment and
0:43:57 > 0:44:00it could lead to change, who knows.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Oxfam is at the centre of a storm of allegations of abusive
0:44:03 > 0:44:06behaviour and management cover up - now the entire aid sector is under
0:44:06 > 0:44:11scrutiny for safeguarding failures.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14The charity says it's investigating a further 26 cases
0:44:14 > 0:44:16of alleged sexual misconduct of some of its former staff in Haiti.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20The BBC's Stephen Sackur has been speaking to Amira Malik Miller-
0:44:20 > 0:44:21an experienced aid worker who witnessed misconduct
0:44:21 > 0:44:22at first hand.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25In 2004 while working for an NGO in Liberia,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27she blew the whistle on a senior staff member who she witnessed
0:44:27 > 0:44:29having a sexual relationship with a young local woman.
0:44:29 > 0:44:39The man and other senior managers were subsequently dismissed.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45At the weekend I went into the kitchen, other people were around as
0:44:45 > 0:44:51well but I went into the kitchen and found one of the senior staff
0:44:51 > 0:44:54members there with a quite young Liberian girl. I do not know what
0:44:54 > 0:45:01age she was, 16, 18. But what I saw was something I was not comfortable
0:45:01 > 0:45:05with and which I deem to be inappropriate. I confronted that
0:45:05 > 0:45:11person right there and then. Sexually inappropriate? Yes. There
0:45:11 > 0:45:17was a lot of touching and so on. I certainly felt it was inappropriate
0:45:17 > 0:45:21and went against our code of conduct. That is why I confronted
0:45:21 > 0:45:25that man straightaway and why I then the following Monday morning went to
0:45:25 > 0:45:28head office and said this has happened, I'm not comfortable with
0:45:28 > 0:45:32this I do not think it is according to a code of conduct and someone.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35And I would expect you to do something.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Amira Malik Miller talking to Stephen Sackur for BBC HardTalk.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42And you can watch that fascinating interview in full
0:45:42 > 0:45:45here on BBC World News on Wednesday at the times in GMT you can
0:45:45 > 0:45:48see on your screen now.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52The US and UK are in talks about what to do with two men
0:45:52 > 0:45:55from west London who were detained in Syria last month on suspicion
0:45:55 > 0:45:57of terrorist activity.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Allexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh
0:46:00 > 0:46:03are believed to be two members of the Islamic State cell known
0:46:03 > 0:46:04as 'the Beatles' that killed Western hostages.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07The BBC understands the pair have been stripped of their UK
0:46:07 > 0:46:09citizenship and the home secretary, Amber Rudd says that
0:46:09 > 0:46:12they should go on trial.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14A court in Bangkok has awarded a Japanese man full
0:46:14 > 0:46:16paternity rights for thirteen babies that he fathered through
0:46:16 > 0:46:19commercial surrogacy.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Mitsutoki Shigeta became the focus of the so-called 'baby
0:46:21 > 0:46:24factory' scandal in 2014 when it was revealed that he had
0:46:24 > 0:46:29fathered multiple infants through Thai surrogates.
0:46:29 > 0:46:34His case led to Thailand banning commercial surrogacy for foreigners.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36The rising tide of plastic pollution in our oceans
0:46:36 > 0:46:40is breaking international law, according to a new report.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Campaigners say some of the world's biggest polluters -
0:46:43 > 0:46:46including China and India - could be forced to pay compensation
0:46:46 > 0:46:56to island nations whose coastlines are being ruined.
0:47:00 > 0:47:05Still to come a huge shot in the FA Cup last night as we can celebrate
0:47:05 > 0:47:16their win over Manchester City.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Sarah Lancashire reports now on free school meals for some schools in
0:47:38 > 0:47:48Scotland.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Yeah, there's all different food you can get.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53My favourite's chicken curry.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54It's tomato pasta.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56So this is your favourite meal you've got today?
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Yeah.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01You get lettuce, and you have tomato and you have all the pasta.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03When I was at school, school lunches were not something
0:48:03 > 0:48:05you looked forward to, but are they actually good here?
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Yeah. Really good.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09All the kids here do seem to really enjoy their school meals,
0:48:09 > 0:48:12and the teachers know that, for some of them, it's the best meal
0:48:12 > 0:48:14they're going to eat all day.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16When the schools close, quite a few of these kids
0:48:16 > 0:48:17do, sadly, go hungry.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20That's why North Lanarkshire Council are to pilot a scheme providing free
0:48:20 > 0:48:23lunches to kids who need them, not just on school
0:48:23 > 0:48:24days, but every day.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Every so often, you can spot that someone's hungrier
0:48:26 > 0:48:29than we would like them to be after a weekend, or after a
0:48:29 > 0:48:30holiday period in particular.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33It can be individual children, we know that food is an issue.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35If you're hungry, you won't learn and you won't achieve.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Other councils in the UK provide meals during school holidays.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40North Lanarkshire will be the first to make free lunches
0:48:40 > 0:48:43available 365 days a year, from primary one up to the third
0:48:43 > 0:48:44year of secondary school.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47I know there are children out there that don't get a meal.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Some adults go without to give their kids during the holidays.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52The children get full meals at school, so in the holidays
0:48:52 > 0:48:55and that, you give them a piece for lunch, and they're, like,
0:48:55 > 0:48:56"Where is my hot dinner?", ken?
0:48:56 > 0:48:59About 40% of these children qualify for free school meals.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01But the school works hard to make sure it's not obvious
0:49:02 > 0:49:03who to avoid any stigma.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05For the same reasons, kids won't be coming into school
0:49:05 > 0:49:08at weekends and holidays - meals will be served in leisure
0:49:08 > 0:49:09centres or community halls.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12It will cost around £500,000 a year to feed kids who might not
0:49:12 > 0:49:22otherwise eat a proper meal over the weekend.
0:49:27 > 0:49:28There's a 'critical division' between the countries
0:49:28 > 0:49:31in the east of the EU, and those in the west.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33That was one of the themes from Hungary's prime minister
0:49:33 > 0:49:36in his annual state of the union address this week.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Victor Orban - whose tough line on migration
0:49:38 > 0:49:40has enraged the EU - said his country was
0:49:40 > 0:49:42endangered by politicians in Brussels, Berlin and Paris.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Jenny Hill has been to the Hungarian border with Serbia.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49Divisive, defiant.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Hungry is standing its ground.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53A border fence, no migrant quotas, a different
0:49:53 > 0:49:54vision for Europe.
0:49:54 > 0:50:00TRANSLATION:It is thanks to our political leaders
0:50:00 > 0:50:02that Hungary and its people have a profile in Europe.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06People recognise us, they look at us and say Hungary,
0:50:06 > 0:50:09you are OK.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13But Victor Orban unsettles his EU peers.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Do not expect him to back down over asylum
0:50:15 > 0:50:25policy, the crisis may be over but he and his
0:50:27 > 0:50:29are seeking re election.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31This wave of refugees and immigrants to Hungary and to Europe
0:50:31 > 0:50:34came as kind of a heavenly gift to Victor Orban and many other
0:50:34 > 0:50:35politicians in the region.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37They could exaggerate the potential threats and
0:50:37 > 0:50:39risks and then appear as saviours.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Watch out for the dress rehearsal.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46Local elections in this town.
0:50:46 > 0:50:51The Fidesz candidate expected to win.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53How do you justify to voters here?
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Even so he was not keen to speak to us.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Can we just ask you about the EU?
0:50:57 > 0:51:01Your party is in trouble with the EU.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02How do you justify that to voters here who
0:51:02 > 0:51:03depend on EU money so much?
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Let alone discuss the EU.
0:51:05 > 0:51:06Sorry, I have to go.
0:51:06 > 0:51:12Goodbye.
0:51:12 > 0:51:17Corruption allegations, xenophobia, Victor
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Orban's dream of what he calls an illiberal democracy.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22TRANSLATION:The only thing they do right is
0:51:22 > 0:51:26keeping migrants out.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Apart from that they do not do anything good.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30They might say the economy is thriving
0:51:30 > 0:51:40but we do not feel it.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44The only people who do well are those close to Fidesz.
0:51:44 > 0:51:49TRANSLATION:The courts, the police, the administration, all
0:51:49 > 0:51:51completely under the influence of Fidesz and people are scared.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53I do not know what will happen to me for
0:51:54 > 0:51:55speaking out but I'm not afraid.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57But out here in the countryside, there
0:51:57 > 0:51:58is concern.
0:51:58 > 0:52:04Farms like this depend on funding from the EU.
0:52:04 > 0:52:11TRANSLATION:The European Union should not be
0:52:11 > 0:52:13small-minded with Hungarian dairy farmers just because it has
0:52:13 > 0:52:14quarrelled with the Hungarian government.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16It would be irresponsible to punish the country
0:52:16 > 0:52:17and its people.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20The end results could be the EU falls apart.
0:52:20 > 0:52:27For many of course this is all about security.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30But the fence has come to define Hungary and its decision to
0:52:30 > 0:52:31put national interests first.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Here on the very outer edge of the EU it
0:52:34 > 0:52:35is a symbol of defiance.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37After all, this country knows what it means to
0:52:37 > 0:52:47be left outside.
0:52:50 > 0:52:56I have stood on the border and watch them unravelling that razor wire in
0:52:56 > 0:53:012015. We talked about Italy and immigration is the central theme
0:53:01 > 0:53:06driving politics in these countries. It may not push the populist parties
0:53:06 > 0:53:10into power but tasers shaping the debate and politics and has an
0:53:10 > 0:53:14effect on where mainstream politics stands at any one time.Would agree
0:53:14 > 0:53:19it has been a thread running through the programme. Talking about Trump
0:53:19 > 0:53:23and immigration being a big part of that. We have been discussing the
0:53:23 > 0:53:29Brexit fallout. Brexit decisions largely driven by immigration as
0:53:29 > 0:53:32well. And politicians are still struggling to catch up with this in
0:53:32 > 0:53:38terms of often what the public are thinking.Absolutely.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Whatever your sport, we all like a spot of giant killing.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43And last night in the FA Cup Wigan pulled off one
0:53:43 > 0:53:46of the all time upsets, beating top of the league,
0:53:46 > 0:53:50runaway leaders, Manchester City.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53The League One side, 46 places below City
0:53:53 > 0:53:57in the English football league, won 1-0 in their fifth round tie.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Beating one of the best sides in Europe.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03They'll now face Southampton in the quarter final.
0:54:03 > 0:54:13And the scorer of that goal, cult hero Will Grigg.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17In terms of the calibre of their players and how they have been doing
0:54:17 > 0:54:21as a team, the manager, it is the highlight of my career just how bad
0:54:21 > 0:54:27night panned out. And to get that goal was something special.He has
0:54:27 > 0:54:36given rise to the greatest football chant ever! You know the words? Will
0:54:36 > 0:54:41Grigg on fire, your defence is terrified. Here is a flavour.
0:54:41 > 0:54:49# Will Grigg on fire. # Your defence is terrified.
