0:00:12 > 0:00:14You are watching Beyond 100 Days, the real beast from the east,
0:00:14 > 0:00:20Vladimir Putin announces an arsenal of missiles he said is invincible.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23He boasts his new weapons can blast through any defences. Why is he
0:00:23 > 0:00:28telling the world about it now? At his annual State of the nation
0:00:28 > 0:00:34address, Putin says the world had listened to Russia, but now it will.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38From cold water trade war, President Trump announces big tariffs on steel
0:00:38 > 0:00:42and aluminium imports with important implications for America's global
0:00:42 > 0:00:46relationships. Also on the programme, near miss,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51the moment a bus slips and slides its way around a car as the bitterly
0:00:51 > 0:00:55cold arctic blast beds in across the UK and Europe.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And up for an Oscar, the profoundly deaf six-year-old, who is heading to
0:00:58 > 0:01:10LA. Get in touch with us.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17I'm Katty Kay in Washington, Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Nothing subtle about Vlad Putin's militaristic speech today. He now
0:01:21 > 0:01:24has the weapons of war he claims to make Russia a full to be reckoned
0:01:24 > 0:01:28with, Mr Putin said the new missile system can fly at 20 times the speed
0:01:28 > 0:01:32of sound, which makes it invincible. Surrounded by high-tech video
0:01:32 > 0:01:36animations of missiles flying across the Atlantic Hotel the president
0:01:36 > 0:01:40said it was the inevitable response to missile defence is the United
0:01:40 > 0:01:43States, it its Western allies have installed in Europe and South Korea.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The Pentagon said it knew about these weapons, but Mr Putin's
0:01:47 > 0:01:50defiant tone ahead of the election later this month is raising
0:01:50 > 0:01:52concerns.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01This was a state of the nation speech like no other by President
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Putin.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Ide voted much of it to announcing Russia had been developing an array
0:02:13 > 0:02:17of sophisticated new strategic weapons.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21In response, he said, to the United States gilding part of its missile
0:02:21 > 0:02:25defence system around the Russian Federation.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29And adding to the drama, the president came equipped with videos
0:02:29 > 0:02:36and graphics of some of the new weapons.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42This, apparently, a nuclear powered underwater drone, which it claimed
0:02:42 > 0:02:46could carry a nuclear warhead and cannot be stopped.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51It is designed to attack enemy warships and coastal defences.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58And then there are claims Russia has been developing a new generation of
0:02:58 > 0:03:02intercontinental ballistic missile is like this one. Capable of
0:03:02 > 0:03:06carrying multiple warheads and penetrating all missile defence
0:03:06 > 0:03:11systems. If it's true, Russia will soon be able to bypass Nato defence
0:03:11 > 0:03:18systems. It would be a game changer. But in Washington today, defence
0:03:18 > 0:03:22officials were sceptical about Mr Putin's claims.These weapons have
0:03:22 > 0:03:27been in developed mode a very long time. So, no. Our nuclear posture
0:03:27 > 0:03:32review takes all of this into account.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38There's no doubt the Kremlin has been pawing me into its Armed Forces
0:03:38 > 0:03:41for years now, creating a much more sophisticated military, including
0:03:41 > 0:03:49viz stealth warplanes, recently transferred to Syria.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And with these latest announcements, Mr Putin has upped the ante with the
0:03:52 > 0:03:57west. It's perhaps no coincidence, though, it comes just a few weeks
0:03:57 > 0:04:02before the country holds a presidential election.
0:04:03 > 0:04:10Let's talk to the vice president. These at the core Dieng down and for
0:04:10 > 0:04:14International peace, working on Russian affairs for President
0:04:14 > 0:04:15senior and the Clinton administrations. Thanks for coming
0:04:15 > 0:04:22in. That point that Russia is upping the anti-, the Pentagon says it knew
0:04:22 > 0:04:26about the weapons systems already, but the tone President Putin today,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30the world will now listen to us, there must be some concern about
0:04:30 > 0:04:35that defiance.President Putin loves to be talked about. Having this
0:04:35 > 0:04:38attention and the world stage has been something he craves and seems
0:04:38 > 0:04:42to always have a knack for attracting. The reality is what your
0:04:42 > 0:04:46correspondent said at the end of his report, he is coming into an
0:04:46 > 0:04:53election in March on the 18th, which has been the lifeless. Campaign, and
0:04:53 > 0:04:57is losing attention from the people he needs to turn out on March the
0:04:57 > 0:05:0218th. It is showing Russia is back and we have great literary ability,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05doing things that will rattle the United States, that is one of the
0:05:05 > 0:05:08only things he has now to sing a late interest in the election, which
0:05:08 > 0:05:12has been a sleeper.Is the rest of the world not paying enough
0:05:12 > 0:05:17attention?We have today launched a project that looks at what we are
0:05:17 > 0:05:21calling the return of global Russia. Without making the Russians look ten
0:05:21 > 0:05:27feet tall, we are seeing the Russians aren't very sustained.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Since 2012, they have pushed themselves into parts of the world
0:05:29 > 0:05:34where they want to take the US down a peg or they want to see some of
0:05:34 > 0:05:37the vat use that Donald Trump has created. We are seeing that pattern
0:05:37 > 0:05:41across the Middle East, even to South Africa and Latin America.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45That is the point, people have asked today if we are at the beginning of
0:05:45 > 0:05:50a new Cold War, a new arms race. What is similar to the Cold War is
0:05:50 > 0:05:54the big powers, and you can factor China into that now, of trying to
0:05:54 > 0:05:57reframe the world, bring countries into their sphere. The Russians have
0:05:57 > 0:06:01made quite an advanced in the last few years.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Yes and no. The Russians do not have a lot of allies, and they do not
0:06:05 > 0:06:10have a big cheque-book. China has partners and a big cheque-book.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Really, at the moment, they are aiming at the ways to make the US
0:06:14 > 0:06:18less dominant, and on the cheap make themselves look relevant. They have
0:06:18 > 0:06:22been doing this with extraordinary effectiveness, in terms of
0:06:22 > 0:06:25undermining Western institutions, creating problems inside the Nato
0:06:25 > 0:06:29alliance, inside the European Union, and by all the campaign of
0:06:29 > 0:06:33interference with elections. They have found a toolkit and are honing
0:06:33 > 0:06:37that toolkit, but it doesn't necessarily make Russia the actor
0:06:37 > 0:06:40that's going to solve problems. China is in a slightly different
0:06:40 > 0:06:46agenda here with trying to change the way the world is run, and take
0:06:46 > 0:06:47for themselves significant was once ability.
0:06:47 > 0:06:55And on the issue of the arms race, the Pentagon is telling people today
0:06:55 > 0:07:00that it knew about these weapons, how does he react? They have been
0:07:00 > 0:07:03looking at nuclear weapons, new age in Korea where is, what sort of
0:07:03 > 0:07:09things can they do?We are in a feedback loop, if you go back to the
0:07:09 > 0:07:12days of the George Bush 43 admits written, the United States ended
0:07:12 > 0:07:19what was the antiballistic Missile Treaty, signed in the early 1970s.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It set worries inside the Russian military that something was being
0:07:23 > 0:07:27built by the United States that would basically negate their
0:07:27 > 0:07:31strategic deterrent. For them, right now, they have had a decade plus to
0:07:31 > 0:07:35get ready for this moment, where they tried to show the United States
0:07:35 > 0:07:39that they can remain potent. The nuclear posture review, the National
0:07:39 > 0:07:45security strategy, they all included phrasings about Russia as an
0:07:45 > 0:07:48important as the Sarri for the United States, and we are setting in
0:07:48 > 0:07:51motion slowly but surely an arms race dynamic between the United
0:07:51 > 0:07:54States and Russia. How far it goes and what it means for nuclear
0:07:54 > 0:07:58weapons and other key weapons systems is something that needs to
0:07:58 > 0:08:04be worked out.Thank you for joining us. We have been so focused on North
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Korea, Christian, on this programme, and the imminent attack from North
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Korea, something the United States is taking seriously as well, but
0:08:12 > 0:08:15with the strategic review coming out of the Pentagon a few weeks ago, it
0:08:15 > 0:08:19is clear that Russia is something as they had to look at, as if there
0:08:19 > 0:08:23weren't enough things the US had to weigh around the world at a time
0:08:23 > 0:08:26when the United States under Donald Trump is pulling back from global
0:08:26 > 0:08:29engagement come it is the dichotomy we are in.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34That is true. The big Nato powers, Germany, Britain, America, they are
0:08:34 > 0:08:37distracted at the moment. Angela Merkel has her own problems with the
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Coalition in Germany, and of course, Britain is focused on Brexit. I
0:08:42 > 0:08:45wonder if there are mixed messages in the United States when it comes
0:08:45 > 0:08:49specifically to Russia. We heard from Adam Rogers speaking to
0:08:49 > 0:08:55Congress the other day. He said the president directed him to retaliate,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59so I wonder if the Pentagon thinks, what are we supposed to do when we
0:08:59 > 0:09:05see these Russian threats?Yeah, there are plenty of people on
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Capitol Hill, especially Democrats and Republicans, too, that would
0:09:07 > 0:09:11argue the United States has already been under attack from Russia, not
0:09:11 > 0:09:15in a conventional sense, but through cyber during the cause of the
0:09:15 > 0:09:18election, and the president hasn't nearly been tough enough in his
0:09:18 > 0:09:22rhetoric, at least, towards Vladimir Putin because of that.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Since the end of the Second World War, free trade has been linked to
0:09:27 > 0:09:31global prosperity and peace. Today, Donald Trump said he did not believe
0:09:31 > 0:09:33in the Islington and took a protectionist step in a new
0:09:33 > 0:09:38direction for America. The president announced the US will impose stiff
0:09:38 > 0:09:40tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from other countries.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44The people that feared Mr Trump would start a global trade war, this
0:09:44 > 0:09:48is the first series indication that he might do so. For the President's
0:09:48 > 0:09:52supporters, it was an important campaign commitment. He says he will
0:09:52 > 0:09:55sign off on the financial penalties next week.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59We'll be imposing tariffs on steel imports and tariffs
0:09:59 > 0:10:03on aluminium imports.
0:10:03 > 0:10:11And you're going to see a lot of good things happen.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You're going to see expansions of the companies,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15what's been allowed to go on for decades is disgraceful.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21Since the announcement of that, the Dow is down 500 points. With us is
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Nick Bryant, this is something the president said he would do during
0:10:24 > 0:10:29the cause of the campaign. He held off for a year, was this inevitable,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33even though people in the White House desperately didn't want him to
0:10:33 > 0:10:39do so? What he has done is a Cold War provision in a way that could
0:10:39 > 0:10:42provoke a 20th century trade war.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ironically, it was supposed to liberalise trade, it led to GATT
0:10:48 > 0:10:51agreement in the late 60s, but there was a provision of that which
0:10:51 > 0:10:54allowed American presidents to say we can impose tariffs if we believe
0:10:54 > 0:10:59national security is under threat. That alludes to steal if the cost of
0:10:59 > 0:11:03steel makes it more expensive to build tanks and guns. He has invoked
0:11:03 > 0:11:08that provision. It is the first time America has done it since the early
0:11:08 > 0:11:121980s, it is the first time it has been invoked since the creation of
0:11:12 > 0:11:16the World Trade Organisation in 1995. It is a massive turnaround for
0:11:16 > 0:11:19US policy. We have waited for this for a long time from Donald Trump.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23He didn't do it in the first year of his presidency, but now, this major
0:11:23 > 0:11:27protectionist move, which he says will help the US aluminium and steel
0:11:27 > 0:11:31industry. The instinct would be, Nick, that
0:11:31 > 0:11:38this is going to impact China. But of course, Canada exports most steel
0:11:38 > 0:11:41into America, and it will affect European countries as well. The EU
0:11:41 > 0:11:45said that if he did something like this, they were taking to the World
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Trade Organisation.That is one of the reasons they have evoked the
0:11:49 > 0:11:53trade expansion act. It allows you, theoretically, to circumvent the
0:11:53 > 0:11:59WTO. One thing we will at is whether is new tariffs have exemptions,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02whether countries are exempt from that. As you say, European trade
0:12:02 > 0:12:07ministers have already said, pre-empting this announcement, that
0:12:07 > 0:12:11they would take retaliatory measures themselves. But of course, one of
0:12:11 > 0:12:14the key players here is China. So much of Donald Trump Bos rhetoric
0:12:14 > 0:12:18when it came to steal during the campaign in the bust belt states
0:12:18 > 0:12:22that won in the presidency, it was directed against China. How they
0:12:22 > 0:12:26were flooding the market with cheap steel. How will Xi Jinping despond
0:12:26 > 0:12:32dithers? What will be the diplomatic repercussions as well? That is one
0:12:32 > 0:12:35of the argument is James Mattis the Defence Secretary has been making
0:12:35 > 0:12:39lobbying for the president not to impose these tariffs. It makes
0:12:39 > 0:12:42diplomacy on the Korean peninsula more difficult, because while you
0:12:42 > 0:12:47try to bid pressure on North Korea, one of the key elements of that,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51obviously, is getting Beijing to apply pressure as well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Nick Bryant, thank you very much. We talked about global power shifts a
0:12:55 > 0:13:00moment a go, make no mistake, trade and trade alliances are an important
0:13:00 > 0:13:07part of power shifts as well and can cause obligations.It doesn't help
0:13:07 > 0:13:12the Nafta negotiations. Both big exporters of steel into the
0:13:12 > 0:13:15night of states.Yeah, and the Mexican president cancelled a visit
0:13:15 > 0:13:19to the White House, so that doesn't look like it is going well at the
0:13:19 > 0:13:22moment either. Watch Nafta, I'm not sure it will last.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26In just over a year, the White House has got through four communications
0:13:26 > 0:13:30directors, they now need a fifth. Hope Hicks joined the Trump
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Organization in 2014. She was with him through the campaign and is one
0:13:33 > 0:13:39of his most trusted aides. The announcement she is leaving came the
0:13:39 > 0:13:42day after the 29-year-old gave a nine-hour testimony in front of the
0:13:42 > 0:13:45panel investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Hicks admitted to the panel that she occasionally told what a -- amounted
0:13:51 > 0:13:56to white lies on behalf of Donald Trump. She was the longest serving
0:13:56 > 0:13:59communications director, clocking up 196 days in the job following
0:13:59 > 0:14:05Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted less than two weeks. Mary Jordan has
0:14:05 > 0:14:09profiled Hope Hicks for the Washington Post, and we can speak to
0:14:09 > 0:14:12her now. She was a close confidant and had been there from the
0:14:12 > 0:14:17beginning of the campaign. It might start to feel a bit lonely for the
0:14:17 > 0:14:22president in the Oval Office. I think we can't underestimate the
0:14:22 > 0:14:27loss of Hope Hicks for him. Her office was literally outside the
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Oval Office. She was there and as improbable as it was, this
0:14:32 > 0:14:3729-year-old was his longest serving and most trusted aide outside of the
0:14:37 > 0:14:42family. Trump has a very small circle of people that he keeps
0:14:42 > 0:14:47around him, that he goes to for advice and trust hope was front and
0:14:47 > 0:14:51centre. She predated the campaign because she worked in his business
0:14:51 > 0:14:55in New York.There is always the question of whether she walked or
0:14:55 > 0:15:00was pushed. There was this nine-hour congressional hearing earlier in the
0:15:00 > 0:15:04week, which she said she told white lies for the president. And if you
0:15:04 > 0:15:09go back further, she was wrapped up in the Rockport crisis because she
0:15:09 > 0:15:13was romantically involved with him and gave the initial response from
0:15:13 > 0:15:18the White House.I think everything we're hearing is that she left.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25She's exhausted, she's had a horrible few weeks. She's the only
0:15:25 > 0:15:31quite one in a very, very noisy White House. Here she was, the
0:15:31 > 0:15:34communications director, but you never saw her on TV. You would see
0:15:34 > 0:15:38glamorous shots of her, because she is a former model. This White House,
0:15:38 > 0:15:43by the way, has more formal models, including the first lady, then any
0:15:43 > 0:15:47White House we have had. But she didn't speak. But lately, she was in
0:15:47 > 0:15:52the news, and we're hearing that this made her uncomfortable. She was
0:15:52 > 0:15:56really upset that her boyfriend
0:15:56 > 0:15:56this made her uncomfortable. She was really upset that her boyfriend, it
0:15:56 > 0:16:00came out that his former wives that there was domestic abuse. She said
0:16:00 > 0:16:06that was a shock to her, which she didn't get over. And nine hours, a
0:16:06 > 0:16:12pretty nine-year old, no matter how old you are, nine hours of grilling
0:16:12 > 0:16:17-- a 29-year-old. And she called it quits.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Stay with us, because that is not the only White House drama going on
0:16:21 > 0:16:24at the moment. The New York Times is reporting today that Jared Kushner
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Bos family business got half $1 billion in loans from business
0:16:28 > 0:16:33groups last year. That was after meetings he held with them inside
0:16:33 > 0:16:37the White House. Including two legal experts, it isn't illegal, but it
0:16:37 > 0:16:42raises questions about conflict of interest, doesn't it, Mary?It is
0:16:42 > 0:16:48all people talk about now. The son-in-law is extremely close to
0:16:48 > 0:16:55Donald Trump. Since the day he arrived here, people said, how is he
0:16:55 > 0:17:01going to separate his business from being the man who Trump put in
0:17:01 > 0:17:04charge of everything. In charge of the relationship with Mexico, Middle
0:17:04 > 0:17:09East peace literally, his portfolio was everywhere. And now we find out
0:17:09 > 0:17:13that he have clearance for that, that the Washington Post is
0:17:13 > 0:17:16reporting that other countries are looking into his business deals to
0:17:16 > 0:17:20see how they could use that to blackmail him, and have leveraged
0:17:20 > 0:17:26with the White House. And as a conflict of interests keep rising,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31such as the shocking amount of loan money, half $1 billion, and
0:17:31 > 0:17:39supposedly talks about wanting a White House job, and his family is
0:17:39 > 0:17:42benefiting. The swell of conflict of interest is so hot right now in
0:17:42 > 0:17:48Washington that many people wonder if Kushner is on his way to maybe
0:17:48 > 0:17:52relieving himself of some of his White House official duties.Mary
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Jordan, really good to have you with us, thank you for sparing your time.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00There was this power play between Jared Kushner and the chief of
0:18:00 > 0:18:05staff, Kelly. When you look at what has happened to Jared Kushner, his
0:18:05 > 0:18:10security clearance being downgraded and you look at Hope Hicks going in
0:18:10 > 0:18:13a few weeks' time, he's got two in one week.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17You're not suggesting, argue, that there is personal chaos in the White
0:18:17 > 0:18:22House by any chance? It's kind of stunning the amount of drama coming
0:18:22 > 0:18:26out of this White House around the issues of personnel. And there was
0:18:26 > 0:18:31John Kelly, brought in, the general, to sort it out and make it calm and
0:18:31 > 0:18:35smooth. He himself has become part of the drama. He spoke about that
0:18:35 > 0:18:41earlier today. At least he has a sense of humour. Let's listen.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I miss everyone of you every day... LAUGHTER
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Truly, six months, the last thing I wanted to do
0:18:46 > 0:18:49was walk away from one of the great honours of my life,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53being the Secretary of Homeland Security.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57But I did something wrong, and God punished me, I guess.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02God punished him by sending him to work in the White House, and
0:19:02 > 0:19:05absolutely impossible job. Trying to be communications director when
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Donald Trump is basically his own communications director. That is
0:19:08 > 0:19:15clearly difficult, clearly why Hope Hicks is leaving. Family members in
0:19:15 > 0:19:18the White House document for power, using their links to try to further
0:19:18 > 0:19:24their businesses, I mean, wow. Meanwhile, you have all that going
0:19:24 > 0:19:27on and this unbelievable spat with the Attorney General Jeff Sessions,
0:19:27 > 0:19:38who he calls the goo. It is tantamount to bullying. He keeps
0:19:38 > 0:19:42going.We can pick any one of these stories, and in any other
0:19:42 > 0:19:45administration, Christian, it would dominate the news for a week.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Possibly even longer. We get three or four stories like this in the
0:19:50 > 0:19:52course of one day. That's an indication to everyone of how
0:19:52 > 0:19:57unusual this White House is and how it's being run in a way that doesn't
0:19:57 > 0:20:00seem particularly professional, perhaps not even very efficient,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03certainly very different from other White House models.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07A quick look at other news coming in. News from Catalonia, the
0:20:07 > 0:20:13Catalans but as leader Carles Puigdemont says he is withdrawing as
0:20:13 > 0:20:21president in favour of Jordi Sanchez, a Delta act as -- a jailed
0:20:21 > 0:20:23activist. Collars Puigdemont is
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Drifting snow and dangerous blizzards have brought large part of
0:20:35 > 0:20:40the UK and Europe to a standstill with part of England, Scotland and
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Wales on the highest weather alert possible.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45The British military has been deployed to help emergency services.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49There is even a warning that the UK gas supply could run dry.
0:20:49 > 0:20:56Take a look at this, the roads are treacherous, too.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02That is terrifying. A bus in Edinburgh almost slams into that
0:21:02 > 0:21:06car. Remarkably, though, it slips around it and avoid a crash will
0:21:06 > 0:21:13stop across the image can all, whether is wreaking havoc.
0:21:23 > 0:21:23Paris freezes over, tourists tread carefully.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24It's so cold.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30In Croatia, this waterfall has been silenced.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32There are pockets of warmth.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35In Poland, coal burners steam on the street.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38But there's no beating this ice blast.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40In the grip of a Siberian weather system, Europe is seeing some
0:21:40 > 0:21:44of the coldest temperatures for several years.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51Today's recorded low, minus 41.8 Celsius in Norway.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It brings danger as this lorry driver in Bulgaria discovered.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55In Scotland, around 1000 vehicles were stranded
0:21:55 > 0:21:57on a major motorway overnight.
0:21:57 > 0:22:07In the East of England, the shovels are out.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I tried to get home, I phoned into work to say I can't make
0:22:11 > 0:22:13it because I'm stuck in a drift.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Trains have been cancelled, airports closed.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Meanwhile, dozens of people, many of them homeless,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18are reported to have died across the continent.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22This weather event has several names across Europe,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25the Siberian Bear, the Snow Cannon, the Beast from the East.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Different names, but similar stories.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Forecasters predict the extreme weather will continue to grip
0:22:28 > 0:22:34Europe into the weekend. Jessica Parker, BBC News.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Now, time for my favourite story of the week. Stars of the big screen
0:22:38 > 0:22:42will convene for the Oscars on Sunday, and among them will be
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Maisie, a profoundly deaf six Rob, cast in the lead role British, The
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Silent Child. The film highlights how Sinai which
0:22:50 > 0:22:54can change lives, but in Maisie's case, take you from a town in
0:22:54 > 0:22:59England to Ollie Wood.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04"Hello, I'm Maisie. I'm in Hollywood for the Oscars."
0:23:04 > 0:23:07It's a story so happy it could be the plot of a Hollywood film.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Maisie Sly had never even acted before her parents were told
0:23:12 > 0:23:15about film-makers looking for a profoundly deaf girl to star
0:23:15 > 0:23:25in their film, The Silent Child.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And now, here are the nominees for Best Live Action Short Film.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33This is the moment in January when the team gathered to find out
0:23:33 > 0:23:35if they had been nominated for an Oscar.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36My Nephew Emmett.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37The Silent Child.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43CHEERING
0:23:43 > 0:23:44YES!
0:23:44 > 0:23:50And so, this week, they reunited at Heathrow...
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Hello, welcome on board.
0:23:51 > 0:24:00And headed to Los Angeles.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Most people prepare for the Oscars by meeting stylists and planning
0:24:02 > 0:24:08acceptance speeches.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Maisie's schedule has been rather different.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12"My favourite thing this week was Kidspace and the zoo."
0:24:12 > 0:24:19"Yep, that's my favourite thing this week."
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Welcome to Hollywood!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Although she is having to get used to people recognising her.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I saw her on television, just last week.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27They say she's nominated.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Do you think she'll be able to get a job one day?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Rachel Shenton wrote and stars in The Silent Child.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38She learned sign language after her own father lost his hearing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39The nomination means that ultimately, now,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42we are in over 600 cinemas in the US, which is huge
0:24:42 > 0:24:45for us as a short film.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And it's really important for the subject, which is obviously
0:24:48 > 0:24:50deafness, and shining a much-needed light on access to education
0:24:50 > 0:24:51for deaf children.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52There's Meryl Streep.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Her former Hollyoaks co-star Chris Overton directed the film and,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59at a lunch for all the nominees, they got to meet one of his heroes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Steven Spielberg was in between me and Rachel.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05And the person taking the photo said, oh, can we move,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06because the light's not good.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07So we were ordering Spielberg around!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Oh, an Oscar!
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Now all that remains is to find out if there will be
0:25:13 > 0:25:14a Hollywood happy ending.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18On Sunday night, Maisie could get her hands on a real one of these.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Colin Paterson, BBC News, Los Angeles.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28By the way, like any girl, Maisie is worried about what she's going to
0:25:28 > 0:25:33wear. She has already picked out a pretty green dress.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I have been looking, she would be the youngest to get an Oscar.
0:25:37 > 0:25:44Shirley Temple was 30 days younger, she won a juvenile world in 1935.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Amazing, good for her.She is in good company.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Coming up for B was on the BBC News Channel, Italy prepares to go to the
0:25:57 > 0:26:02polls in just three days the country will elect a new government.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Not the best night to be out and about, disruptive and, in places,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21dangerous wintry weather continues, so much so that the Met office has
0:26:21 > 0:26:24issued a red weather warning across parts of south-west England and
0:26:24 > 0:26:28South Wales. Heavy snow, strong wind as well, giving blizzard conditions,
0:26:28 > 0:26:33this is the radar picture from early on. The snow has been spreading up
0:26:33 > 0:26:35from the south, particularly setting in across the south-west and
0:26:35 > 0:26:39southern half of Wales. Snow showers continue further north and east as
0:26:39 > 0:26:43well. There is still a Met Office amber be prepared warning for part
0:26:43 > 0:26:46of north-east Scotland, down into north-east England. Also a warning
0:26:46 > 0:26:53in force for South Northern Ireland. It is the south-western corner where
0:26:53 > 0:26:55we will have the most disruptive weather overnight. Widely and amber
0:26:55 > 0:27:02warning, parts of East Devon, Somerset and into East Wales,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07covered by the red warning. A lot of snow piling up. Sunspots seek 15-20
0:27:07 > 0:27:12centimetres, maybe 40-50 over high ground here. Some of the snow
0:27:12 > 0:27:15spreading into parts of Northern Ireland. As we go through the night,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19we keep snow showers in northern and eastern Scotland, the far north-east
0:27:19 > 0:27:22of England. These areas, particularly at risk of disruption
0:27:22 > 0:27:26overnight. Across the far south-west, it may be that the snow
0:27:26 > 0:27:30turns back to rain in places. If that happens, the rain is likely to
0:27:30 > 0:27:34fall on very cold surfaces, and that brings a significant ice risk to
0:27:34 > 0:27:39take us into tomorrow morning. Travel disruption is very likely
0:27:39 > 0:27:43indeed. A dry spell, perhaps, for the south-west and Wales through the
0:27:43 > 0:27:46first part of tomorrow. Then it looks like snow will return from the
0:27:46 > 0:27:51South, heavy snow at that. Could be snow in other southern areas as
0:27:51 > 0:27:55well. A lot to play for without one. Uncertainty in the forecast, no
0:27:55 > 0:27:59showers into eastern areas, largely fine weather with Sunshine in
0:27:59 > 0:28:02between. When we consider the strength of the wind, this is what
0:28:02 > 0:28:08it will feel like through tomorrow afternoon, subzero in many areas.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10But a slight change in the feel of the weather through the next few
0:28:10 > 0:28:16days. It does look like we will bring something slightly, slightly
0:28:16 > 0:28:19less cold up from the south, particularly into southern areas.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24What we can say for the weekend is that for many it will remain cold.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29But less cold awards the South, and there is still the risk of some
0:28:29 > 0:28:30snow.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14This is beyond 100 days. I'm Katty Kay in Washington. Christian Fraser

0:31:05 > 0:31:07supply, if you think the Russian presidential election doesn't have
0:31:07 > 0:31:14an impact on our lives, think again. In a race where at least one
0:31:14 > 0:31:18contender, the opposition leader, has been barred from participating,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22why would anyone risk all to challenge Vladimir Putin?Gabriel
0:31:22 > 0:31:25gatehouse from the BBC's news that programme followed one candidate, a
0:31:25 > 0:31:32former Russian socialite turned up opposition candidate in a country
0:31:32 > 0:31:39where nothing is as it seems.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Russian democracy is a strange and sometimes dangerous beast.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It's a fake election.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'm always telling that.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51So I'm taking part in the election not to win, I have no
0:31:51 > 0:31:52illusions about that.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56I'm taking part to be heard.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Her father, one of the founders of Russia's new
0:31:59 > 0:32:09democracy, became Mayor of Saint Petersburg.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14He would later die in uncertain circumstances while his former
0:32:14 > 0:32:17deputy, a once unknown KGB officer would become the most powerful man
0:32:17 > 0:32:23in Russia.
0:32:23 > 0:32:34The coming today is still a place of uncertainty. Of rival factions.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37--The Kremlin today is still a place of rival factions to
0:32:37 > 0:32:40threaten their power is to take a terrible risk.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49The passengers on the trolley bus know all about her family ties. And
0:33:05 > 0:33:09I paid a visit to her campaign headquarters to meet one of her top
0:33:09 > 0:33:15advisers, a woman well versed in the darker parts of Russian politics.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19She should be, she used to work for printing himself. Two for Vladimir
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Putin himself.
0:33:39 > 0:33:47Just to be clear, this is to say Sobchak a's own adviser sangria
0:33:47 > 0:33:53playing the Kremlin's game. Hundred miles south of Moscow, Ksenia
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Sobchak is on the campaign trail. The biggest problem in Russia is not
0:33:58 > 0:34:04freedom of speech. Unfortunately, for many people, it is poverty.How
0:34:04 > 0:34:08do you feel like people reacted to you coming as you do from quite a
0:34:08 > 0:34:15privileged background?You know, I don't try to be like I am one of you
0:34:15 > 0:34:19because, well, it is not true. If I wear red lipstick in my everyday
0:34:19 > 0:34:25time, why should I go without makeup to them? It is not true. I am not a
0:34:25 > 0:34:30populist. So, yes, I come in a good car and in good close, but I owned
0:34:30 > 0:34:37this money. I didn't steal that. I've spoken to a senior Russian
0:34:37 > 0:34:40official and I can quote them by name. I said what is the point of
0:34:40 > 0:34:43having an election when everyone acknowledges that only one person
0:34:43 > 0:34:49can win? They said, look, this is a Western invention that you have. We
0:34:49 > 0:34:54don't have a classical democracy in Russia. We have what they called a
0:34:54 > 0:34:59developing democracy. The truth is, Russian democracy has stopped
0:34:59 > 0:35:05development. It is frozen, paralysed by two certain facts. Just as surely
0:35:05 > 0:35:08as Vladimir Putin will win the next election, he will also not be around
0:35:08 > 0:35:15forever. I'm pleased to see the Gabriel gatehouse who's reporting
0:35:15 > 0:35:19there is with me in the studio. I have seen the long version of this,
0:35:19 > 0:35:24which will go out on the weekend. Some great stuff in it. One thing
0:35:24 > 0:35:29that really struck me is that when she went to see Vladimir Putin, he
0:35:29 > 0:35:32obviously was a little bit shocked that he was going to stay tonight
0:35:32 > 0:35:36that she was going to stand against him, but they saw her as a bit of a
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Barbie figure, a doll, and the criminal menacing look at which you
0:35:39 > 0:35:46created, a Frankenstein figure.The thing is the Kremlin, as we went to
0:35:46 > 0:35:49college, is not a monolith. There are also two different groups there
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and they're all trying out various different things. Some of these
0:35:52 > 0:35:56people are saying let's give this person a go and see what happens.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Now look what happened. She goes on state TV, she talks about crime me a
0:36:00 > 0:36:03nice being Russian. This is illegal in Russia. Some people in the
0:36:03 > 0:36:12Kremlin are carrying -- talks about how Crimea doesn't belong to Russia.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16She's making a film about her father, this figure who died, this
0:36:16 > 0:36:20mentor to Vladimir Putin, and as part of this film, she wanted to see
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Vladimir Putin. She went to interview him and at the end, she
0:36:23 > 0:36:27told me, she didn't ask for permission to run, she told him that
0:36:27 > 0:36:31she was going to run and she then said he was silent for a moment and
0:36:31 > 0:36:35then he said, well, it's her decision and it is your risk. I
0:36:35 > 0:36:38said, what did you think he meant by that? She kind of laughed and said I
0:36:38 > 0:36:43don't think anything good. I would suspect that he would hardly know
0:36:43 > 0:36:51that she was planning to run because they opened all the doors to heart.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Gabriel, I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago when she was in New York
0:36:55 > 0:36:58and she did say that she had got quite a lot of harassment during the
0:36:58 > 0:37:01course of this campaign. She was pushing back against the idea that
0:37:01 > 0:37:05she was just a puppet candidate. Has she become more of a root candidate
0:37:05 > 0:37:10than they perhaps expected?I think she is saying things that they
0:37:10 > 0:37:15perhaps didn't expect her to say. I mean, she acknowledges that this is
0:37:15 > 0:37:19a big election campaign. She is only running to be heard, to make
0:37:19 > 0:37:23yourself heard, and DC is doing that. She is saying things that are
0:37:23 > 0:37:27basically taboo on Russian state television. Her candidacy gives her
0:37:27 > 0:37:32access to state TV, so she is naming it, very senior people, in Putin's
0:37:32 > 0:37:39circle. Ruttenberg, contango. People who are on American sanctions list.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42She's asking where people got their money from. She sang the Putin
0:37:42 > 0:37:46created a system that has allowed these people to take money out of
0:37:46 > 0:37:50the state. I said to her, are you saying vulgar put-in is corrupt? She
0:37:50 > 0:37:54just got back slightly from that because there is some red line
0:37:54 > 0:38:03tonight is she saying that Vladimir Putin is corrupt?You're saying that
0:38:03 > 0:38:06he is a tree were for much everything hands. Geez cannot hang
0:38:06 > 0:38:12forever. What is going on in the Kremlin for the next six years?What
0:38:12 > 0:38:16happened in six years' time? He will have done for my kids. They believe,
0:38:16 > 0:38:20and at the Vladimir Putin believes that if he is taken out of the
0:38:20 > 0:38:24equation, there will be a state collapse and that is the big thing
0:38:24 > 0:38:27that he fears and all of these actions in the Kremlin. They have to
0:38:27 > 0:38:29figure something out, either a way of keeping him in power were getting
0:38:29 > 0:38:33some kind of credible replacement. That is kind of what this process is
0:38:33 > 0:38:38all about.Fascinating watches on the weekend. Our world. Just wanted
0:38:38 > 0:38:44to you about some reaction we're getting into Europe from Jean-Claude
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Junker, the European president that Steele story we were telling you
0:38:46 > 0:38:52about in the first half. Of course, tariffs likely to be imposed on --
0:38:52 > 0:38:56likely to be imposed on steel and aluminium imported into the United
0:38:56 > 0:38:59States. Took a Jean-Claude Junker said they will react firmly to
0:38:59 > 0:39:04defend their interests. The commission will bring forward a
0:39:04 > 0:39:07proposal for countermeasures against the United States to rebalance the
0:39:07 > 0:39:13situation was was saying earlier, the EU said it would go to the WTA.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16It is not just the EU, we had reaction from Germany directly. We
0:39:16 > 0:39:20had reaction from Canada, as well. Of course, as we said earlier, the
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Dow Jones Bolling on this news. They're going to be repercussions
0:39:24 > 0:39:28and people will not like this.Let's talk about elections because the
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Europeans were well aware that the junta Brexit Gilby published
0:39:31 > 0:39:41yesterday would be unacceptable to the British Prime Minister. Red
0:39:41 > 0:39:47buses is piling on the pressure to keep...So far, Theresa May has
0:39:47 > 0:39:52shown no sign that she is ready for turning. Today, she met with Donald
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Tusk to spell out some of the detail that will be in her speech tomorrow.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59The scope of her plan is greatly anticipated in the final act in a
0:39:59 > 0:40:05week in which both sides have dug in.Labour would seek to negotiate a
0:40:05 > 0:40:09new, comprehensive, UK- uke customs union to ensure there are no tariffs
0:40:09 > 0:40:16with Europe and to help avoid any need whatsoever for a harder border
0:40:16 > 0:40:21in Northern Ireland.A customs union would remove the bulk of incentives
0:40:21 > 0:40:26for other countries to enter into comprehensive free-trade agreements
0:40:26 > 0:40:31with the UK.We as a country are at a crossroad in our history. We face
0:40:31 > 0:40:35a choice. It choice that represents the difference between a prosperous,
0:40:35 > 0:40:40pure nation, that is united at home and stronger abroad and a poor
0:40:40 > 0:40:45country divided at home and a weaker player on the global stage.Nobody
0:40:45 > 0:40:52can truly know what the will of the people may then be. So let
0:40:52 > 0:40:59Parliament decide or put the issue back to the people.We've been
0:40:59 > 0:41:05watching all the twists and turns this week, as has Tony Connelly, he
0:41:05 > 0:41:11is a correspondent... I was saying yesterday that if this was an 800
0:41:11 > 0:41:15metre race, D Bell has just gone and there is lots of fighting going
0:41:15 > 0:41:19around the first corner. Elbows out. Some will fall by the wayside. He
0:41:19 > 0:41:26really sent this week that something is happening. -- you really sense of
0:41:26 > 0:41:30this week.This is quite a reckoning, I think. It was always
0:41:30 > 0:41:34going to come. We had something of a phoney war over the past year and a
0:41:34 > 0:41:39half since the referendum. There's been a lots of the polite and
0:41:39 > 0:41:43pragmatic dialogue between Dublin and London over the Northern Irish
0:41:43 > 0:41:49border issue, but once a political agreement was reached rather
0:41:49 > 0:41:52haphazardly, if you like, in December, you remember, we spoke
0:41:52 > 0:41:59about that back then, that deal was going to have to be converted into a
0:41:59 > 0:42:06legal form that in turn will be embedded into the withdrawal Treaty,
0:42:06 > 0:42:11the treaty that will effectively guide Britain out of the European
0:42:11 > 0:42:16Union. Once you convert stuff into legal language, then, it looks a lot
0:42:16 > 0:42:22more stark. It spells out phrases that are obviously going to frighten
0:42:22 > 0:42:28some people, phrases are in there that are obviously... To the Bridges
0:42:28 > 0:42:31government. The European Union and the government will say that you
0:42:31 > 0:42:35agree to this in December, so why the big surprise?Is it that you in
0:42:35 > 0:42:40Brussels that Theresa May is pretty boxed in when it comes to her
0:42:40 > 0:42:42latitude for negotiating, whether over the issue of the Irish border
0:42:42 > 0:42:49or because of the domestic politics in her own party?I think the
0:42:49 > 0:42:54European Union has been very aware of a Theresa May's plate since last
0:42:54 > 0:43:03June. Direct flights. The European Union is made up of officials and
0:43:03 > 0:43:06progress and heads of government. They are aware of the politics of
0:43:06 > 0:43:11the UK at the moment. The rancour, that bitterness, the division. They
0:43:11 > 0:43:13know very well she is boxed in and doesn't have much room for
0:43:13 > 0:43:19manoeuvre. At the same time, they would take the clock is ticking. We
0:43:19 > 0:43:25are in a legal process that has to emerge into a treaty that is going
0:43:25 > 0:43:30to be a binding, international, legal document. We cannot fudge this
0:43:30 > 0:43:34any longer. We have to convert this into a legal text. That text is
0:43:34 > 0:43:39going to be negotiated but I really don't think the UK will be able to
0:43:39 > 0:43:44depart radically from that particular part of the text which
0:43:44 > 0:43:49relates to a harder border, hard to avoid a harder border in Ireland.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Yes, there is a clamour for detail from the British side. We will watch
0:43:53 > 0:43:56the speech with interest or tomorrow. Good to see you. Thank
0:43:56 > 0:44:00you. Wherever you look in Europe at the moment, the established order is
0:44:00 > 0:44:03under pressure. In the last 12 months, we have been to the
0:44:03 > 0:44:07Netherlands, to France, Germany, Austria, Sweden, has an obvious
0:44:07 > 0:44:11questions, there are Populist parties, some of them, hard right.
0:44:11 > 0:44:17Challenging, maybe not winning, but increasing their share of the vote.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20This weekend, we turn to Italy and deleting the polls there, populist
0:44:20 > 0:44:225-star movement that in past years has called for a referendum on in
0:44:22 > 0:44:28vitro.Also riding high, a man many thought were long gone from Italian
0:44:28 > 0:44:32politics. Silvio does Ghani is barred from becoming Prime Minister
0:44:32 > 0:44:41because of a tax issue until 2019. Live now to run where we can speak
0:44:41 > 0:44:44to our correspondent from the Institute of international affairs.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Thank you very much indeed for being with us. I'm glad it is not snowing
0:44:47 > 0:44:51there in Rome today. Tell us a little bit about what is driving
0:44:51 > 0:44:59this vote. Is it all down to migration and security?Yes indeed.
0:44:59 > 0:45:05Migration and security have been the leading topic of this electoral
0:45:05 > 0:45:13campaign. Actually, this electoral campaign is being characterised by a
0:45:13 > 0:45:17mounting xenophobic and also anti-migratory narrative among
0:45:17 > 0:45:24Italian political parties from the far right to the far left. This also
0:45:24 > 0:45:35led to some into mandatory acts against refugees and migrants in...
0:45:35 > 0:45:41-- led to some intimidating acts. This is also impacted on the general
0:45:41 > 0:45:46public debate. Let's say that migration is increasingly connected
0:45:46 > 0:45:51to security and is becoming the key issue now in Italy.You're going to
0:45:51 > 0:45:55get a visitor because Steve Bannon, of course, Donald Trump 's former
0:45:55 > 0:46:00aide is on his way there and has expressed support for the right
0:46:00 > 0:46:03groups. The league in particular. Leaders of those groups have made a
0:46:03 > 0:46:08public appearance today, a slave unity. Are they unified, these
0:46:08 > 0:46:15various groups on the right? -- eight unity.The centre-right
0:46:15 > 0:46:20coalition has put together a comment programme added this programme is
0:46:20 > 0:46:28very much led by the ideas of the leading party of the coalition. If
0:46:28 > 0:46:33you read the programme of the centre-right, you will not find the
0:46:33 > 0:46:43extreme positions which had been taken recently by the two extremist
0:46:43 > 0:46:46parties in the centre-right coalitions. For example, you can
0:46:46 > 0:46:54hear from them strong stances against migration, against the
0:46:54 > 0:46:57European Union, against the permanence of a delete within the
0:46:57 > 0:47:01euro area, but she will not find anything of these in the common
0:47:01 > 0:47:06problem. They now the question is if the centre-right coalition will get
0:47:06 > 0:47:12the majority of the votes and will be called to form a government which
0:47:12 > 0:47:22will be the common framework of this free -- three parties.We will be
0:47:22 > 0:47:26watching the selection on the BBC. Thank you for joining us from Rome.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29This is beyond 100 games. So too, on the programme, which was the
0:47:29 > 0:47:34question that angered the then candidate chop so much he had this
0:47:34 > 0:47:44journalist burn-outs? -- thrown out? We will ask if life is alleging
0:47:44 > 0:47:51under this presidency has changed.A little more on the heavy snow that
0:47:51 > 0:47:55has continued to fall across the UK. In Scotland, drivers have been left
0:47:55 > 0:47:59stranded on roads, while people are still waiting for flights out of
0:47:59 > 0:48:05Glasgow. The airport was closed again today. One Gordon reports.
0:48:05 > 0:48:10Scotland's Road to nowhere. Hundreds of drivers stuck in miles of the
0:48:10 > 0:48:13stationary traffic and what is usually one of the country's busiest
0:48:13 > 0:48:19roads.I left about eight o'clock and I have been here since.That is
0:48:19 > 0:48:26a good 17 hours, maybe.We moved about 100 metres of the time.Last
0:48:26 > 0:48:30night, some boys came out with biscuits and crisps and this morning
0:48:30 > 0:48:35it was all the school kids that came out so we are getting looked after.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40The worst of circumstances bringing out the best in people. Volunteers
0:48:40 > 0:48:43bringing out food and water to those stranded in their cars. This storm
0:48:43 > 0:48:49was forecast well ahead of time but despite the warnings, people didn't
0:48:49 > 0:48:57still venture out. Now, after waiting nearly 18 hours on this
0:48:57 > 0:49:03stretch of motorway, it looks as if finally, the traffic might just be
0:49:03 > 0:49:09about to start moving again. Police officers clearing the way I had, one
0:49:09 > 0:49:17by one.People have been coming up and down the northbound carriageway
0:49:17 > 0:49:20because of the vehicles stuck most of the night.Hard work. I see the
0:49:20 > 0:49:26guy sticking out.Very much so.For much of the time and changing areas
0:49:26 > 0:49:32have been stuck and flights were cancelled out of Edinburgh and
0:49:32 > 0:49:38Glasgow, once again. There was fun for some, but for the blizzards,
0:49:38 > 0:49:42freezing temperatures and drifting snow, there are serious concerns for
0:49:42 > 0:49:46those out in these conditions, even as those who could heeded the
0:49:46 > 0:49:48warnings to stay at home.
0:49:57 > 0:50:01You're watching beyond 100 days. He garnered international attention
0:50:01 > 0:50:05after being thrown out of a 2015 Trump campaign event. For asking the
0:50:05 > 0:50:11then candidate a question without a being called on. Now the long-time
0:50:11 > 0:50:15journalist is out with a new book. The book is called a stranger and it
0:50:15 > 0:50:19looks at what it means to be an immigrant in today's reedited. Mr
0:50:19 > 0:50:25Ramos came from Mexico to the United States in 1983. His decades of
0:50:25 > 0:50:28reporting has become a powerful voice. He joins us now. They did for
0:50:28 > 0:50:36joining us. How has life for you changed under President? Is it that
0:50:36 > 0:50:38life has changed, day-to-day life, or attitudes and what it feels like
0:50:38 > 0:50:42to be American is just?Everything has changed, not only for me
0:50:42 > 0:50:47personally, but when the president of the United States tells you to go
0:50:47 > 0:50:53back to division and he means to go to your country and when somebody
0:50:53 > 0:50:57tells me to go back to my country, IMO uses citizen. The number of hate
0:50:57 > 0:51:01groups has increased. The number of arrests and Ingrid has increased 30%
0:51:01 > 0:51:09in comparison to the last presidency of Barack Obama. He has helped
0:51:09 > 0:51:18some...A third of Hispanics voted for President Trump will stop it was
0:51:18 > 0:51:21a surprisingly high number given what he had said about building a
0:51:21 > 0:51:23wall with Mexico. Do you think the president still has that degree of
0:51:23 > 0:51:27support among the Hispanic community? Has that changed?I don't
0:51:27 > 0:51:30think so, but I think he got about 30% of the Hispanic vote in part
0:51:30 > 0:51:35because the Democrats didn't keep their word. President Obama had
0:51:35 > 0:51:38promised to introduce immigration reform in his first year and did not
0:51:38 > 0:51:42do that. As it is Obama supported two and half million undocumented
0:51:42 > 0:51:48immigrants. For many Latinos, they decided to stay home. Only 13
0:51:48 > 0:51:58million voted out of 27 possible POTUS.President Obama deported more
0:51:58 > 0:52:01than any president. Would he think the Republican Party is on disk was
0:52:01 > 0:52:06like he did a different attitude of the president?I think the
0:52:06 > 0:52:10Republicans are committing political suicide at this point. There are 60
0:52:10 > 0:52:14million Latinos. In less than 30 years, we will have 100 million
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Latinos in this country. Without Latinos, it would be impossible for
0:52:18 > 0:52:21anyone to be elected to the White House, to be governor, or to be part
0:52:21 > 0:52:28of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Republicans are in a
0:52:28 > 0:52:31very difficult situation because if they don't realise and correct, they
0:52:31 > 0:52:35will lose election after election after election.You call the book
0:52:35 > 0:52:39stranger and it is clearly had a profound impact of your experience
0:52:39 > 0:52:41of being in the United States and that of many immigrants. Donald
0:52:41 > 0:52:45Trump will be in office for four years are potentially eaters. Is
0:52:45 > 0:52:47this a permanent shift in the country or will it be reversed
0:52:47 > 0:52:50again? Will America become once again the country that opens its
0:52:50 > 0:52:53arms to immigrant?This is not normal. To have a president who
0:52:53 > 0:52:56makes a racist remarks, it is not normal. What will happen with Great
0:52:56 > 0:53:00Britain if you're a minister with a racist remarks? I don't think this
0:53:00 > 0:53:04is going to last. These are the numbers. In 2044, everyone is going
0:53:04 > 0:53:09to be a minority in this country. We will be the US, minority, majority
0:53:09 > 0:53:14country. That is the major trend. Trump is a tiny bit of politics
0:53:14 > 0:53:20nowadays.I don't think he would like to hear that.What is
0:53:20 > 0:53:23interesting is just watching from over here, talking about the
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Parkland shooting, a lot of the children who came on, some of them
0:53:26 > 0:53:29were from Hispanic backgrounds, you. They seem to have a very different
0:53:29 > 0:53:32attitude to the older generation he said, look, to quiet and don't make
0:53:32 > 0:53:35waves. That is the best way to get one. These children don't. They take
0:53:35 > 0:53:41the politicians on.Absolutely right. But we're seeing right now is
0:53:41 > 0:53:44the survivors of the school shooting in Florida and the dreamers,
0:53:44 > 0:53:48phrases, they have different attitudes. The parents of the dream
0:53:48 > 0:53:54decided to be silent, to be invisible. The dreamers are doing
0:53:54 > 0:53:58something different in the survivors also. The ovarian people involved,
0:53:58 > 0:54:02bold, brave. Doing something apart and for gun control and immigration.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07Thank you very much.Researchers have discovered the oldest
0:54:07 > 0:54:14figurative tattoos in the world. In two 5000 of mummies from Egypt. The
0:54:14 > 0:54:19illustrations are of a wild bull and a seat on the upper arm of a male
0:54:19 > 0:54:23money and as shaped motifs on the upper arms and shoulders of the
0:54:23 > 0:54:26female. The discovery pushes back evidence for the practise in Africa
0:54:26 > 0:54:32by a thousand years. Do you have a tattoo?I do not have a tattoo. Do
0:54:32 > 0:54:39you have a tattoo?No, just my eyebrows. No, I'm joking. No, I
0:54:39 > 0:54:47don't.I know you love your ties, that's why I was asking, if you
0:54:47 > 0:54:50wanted another adornment, but I think you have rather... Should I
0:54:50 > 0:54:53say conservative views on tattoos? He did tell me you would be very
0:54:53 > 0:54:59upset if your daughter got a tattoo. She has fake ones, right?Exactly.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03It's only me that isn't tattooed as far as I can see when I go to the
0:55:03 > 0:55:07beach.My daughter has a tattoo. She's now 22 years old. Clementine
0:55:07 > 0:55:12is ten. Isaac is to be 22, you can't control her any more. There is my
0:55:12 > 0:55:17daughter's tattoo. Very cool. That is Galileo's depiction of the moon
0:55:17 > 0:55:21around Jupiter. It was the first evidence, apparently that the earth
0:55:21 > 0:55:24is not the centre of the universe. I said this in the programme before.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26My is about to do a PhD in astrophysics so it was fitting. I
0:55:26 > 0:55:32have to say, I am very cool with that. I am a cool mum.Yeah, I like
0:55:32 > 0:55:36it. That is cerebral. Can there be plagiarism when it comes to tattoos?
0:55:36 > 0:55:38I can get that. Apparently her tattoo has to say something about
0:55:38 > 0:55:41you, so I was about to have a hundred days, but then it would than
0:55:41 > 0:55:45a hundred days plus in that 100 days beyond across my neck and then an
0:55:45 > 0:55:50extra zero on when we get it beyond a thousand days. That is why I don't
0:55:50 > 0:55:54want to tattoo.Do you really have nothing important to can have a
0:55:54 > 0:55:59tattoo about? Is that it?Yeah.You are one sad person if you would have
0:55:59 > 0:56:04a hundred is tattooed on your shoulder.
