0:00:07 > 0:00:12You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15A nerve agent was the weapon, say British authorities investigating
0:00:15 > 0:00:17the attempted murder of a Russian spy and his daughter.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The two remain critical after collapsing
0:00:19 > 0:00:28in a public park in Salisbury, England on Sunday.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33The Kremlin continued to deny any involvement.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Another major departure at the White House.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37This time it is the president's top economic advisor who is stepping
0:00:37 > 0:00:39down after a rift over tariffs.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Also on the programme..
0:00:40 > 0:00:43A private message is on its way from Pyongyang to the US.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45We speak to a top American diplomat on whether this
0:00:45 > 0:00:53could be a breakthrough.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm so glad I had a bad day at work.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59And I take up an unsettling new sport - axe throwing.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Find out about the new craze making its way from Canada.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Get in touch with us using the hashtag
0:01:05 > 0:01:15'Beyond-One-Hundred-Days'.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hello and welcome - I'm Christian Fraser in London,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Jane O'Brien is in Washington.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25It's now known that a nerve agent was used in an an attempt to murder
0:01:25 > 0:01:27a Russian spy and his daughter earlier this week.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30British counter terrorism police say Sergei Skripal
0:01:30 > 0:01:34and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia were specifically targeted.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37The unnamed substance was so potent that a police officer who was first
0:01:37 > 0:01:43to respond is also now in a serious condition in hospital.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Moscow has denied any links to the attempted murder
0:01:46 > 0:01:47of the former double agent.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And the UK government says it continues to keep an open mind
0:01:50 > 0:01:54while the investigation unfolds.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But the method employed, in a public area, with such a toxic agent,
0:01:57 > 0:01:58will only fuel concerns that there was some
0:01:59 > 0:02:00state involvement.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Tom Symonds reports.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Sergei Skripal was a man with a shadowy past.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12Relatives said he feared it would catch up with him
0:02:12 > 0:02:16but he was using his own name, living a normal life, popping into a
0:02:16 > 0:02:18corner shop last month for milk and bacon.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Tonight, he and his daughter are gravely ill and now, the police
0:02:21 > 0:02:27have revealed why.
0:02:27 > 0:02:33In summary, this is being treated as a major incident
0:02:33 > 0:02:35involved attempting murder by the administration
0:02:35 > 0:02:38of a nerve agent.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40As you know, these two people remain critically ill in hospital.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Sadly, in addition, a police officer who
0:02:43 > 0:02:48was one of the first to attend the scene
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and respond to the incident is now also in a serious
0:02:50 > 0:02:58condition in hospital.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Counter-terrorism officers are being advised by public health agencies,
0:03:04 > 0:03:11they say there is no obvious outstanding risk and, they are
0:03:11 > 0:03:14trying to work out what the Skripals were doing in Salisbury after
0:03:14 > 0:03:15arriving on Sunday.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Police are investigating reports that Sergei
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Skripal had lunch with a woman at this Italian restaurant.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21They were behaving strangely, she had dark
0:03:21 > 0:03:25hair, resembled his daughter Yulia in this picture.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27But police have already seized this CCTV footage
0:03:27 > 0:03:30from just before 4pm.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33A man and a blonde haired woman heading to the
0:03:33 > 0:03:39area where the family were taken ill on a park bench.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41An eyewitness who saw that has told us...
0:03:41 > 0:03:49The girl was pretty, blonde hair, I couldn't see
0:03:49 > 0:03:52her face very well because she was leant on him.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Blonde hair, dark hair, detectives will need to sort
0:03:54 > 0:03:57through a mass of eyewitness reports and CCTV, to establish the truth.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The Government was briefed on the inquiry today.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02We need to keep a cool head and make sure that we
0:04:02 > 0:04:05collect all the evidence we can, and we need to make sure
0:04:05 > 0:04:07that we respond not to rumour but to all the
0:04:07 > 0:04:08evidence that they collect.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And then, we will need to decide what
0:04:10 > 0:04:11action to take.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14But life in central Salisbury is now dominated by the response to the
0:04:14 > 0:04:19suspected poisoning.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23At lunchtime this, after a woman appeared
0:04:23 > 0:04:27to have been taken ill at the offices next to the restaurant.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Police would not discuss why there was such a huge emergency response.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But with two lives in jeopardy at the local hospital, it is clear why
0:04:35 > 0:04:44the risk has to be taken seriously.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49In a few minutes we will speak to the former chair of the UK joint
0:04:49 > 0:04:53intelligence committee to get her thoughts on this developing story.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Here in Washington, the revolving door of
0:04:55 > 0:04:57the White House is spinning again.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59The latest to go is the president's chief
0:04:59 > 0:05:00economic adviser Gary Cohn.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Last week it was one of his most trusted confidents,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Hope Hicks, who resigned seeking new opportunities.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08She was his fourth director of communications.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Another to go was the political aide
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Rob Porter who was removed following allegations
0:05:13 > 0:05:16of domestic abuse.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Gary Cohn was always fighting a losing battle.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20When it came to trade he was the free-market globalist
0:05:20 > 0:05:23fighting the President's instinct for protection and tariffs.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28In the end something had to give.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Any other leader might question why so many people seem
0:05:30 > 0:05:33unable or unwilling to stay on the job.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38But Donald Trump seems to relish the constant change.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42So many people want to come in, I have the choice of anybody.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I could take any position in the White House
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and I'll have a choice of the ten top people having to do with that
0:05:47 > 0:05:48position.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Everybody wants to be there.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And they love this White House because we have energy like
0:05:52 > 0:05:56rarely before.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58And joining us now in Washington is our
0:05:58 > 0:06:03North America Correspondent Nick Bryant.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Gary Cohn was an interesting figure, seen by some as a Democrat in their
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Republican administration but plenty saw him as a moderating influence.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Exactly, this is the most consequential departure we have seen
0:06:17 > 0:06:24for that reason. Gary Cohn was seen by Wall Street is a reassuring
0:06:24 > 0:06:28figure in a White House in turmoil and moderating endurance as well,
0:06:28 > 0:06:33someone we believe persuaded Donald Trump not to declare that China was
0:06:33 > 0:06:39a currency manipulator and persuaded him to renegotiate Nafta rather than
0:06:39 > 0:06:42getting up the entire agreement. He has been trying to rein in the
0:06:42 > 0:06:46protectionist impulses of Donald Trump and of course those
0:06:46 > 0:06:50protectionist impulses have found expression in the past week with his
0:06:50 > 0:06:55plan to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel which have sparked the
0:06:55 > 0:07:00possibility of this global trade war. And that it was bought was the
0:07:00 > 0:07:07final straw for Gary Cohn.The lifeblood of the Republican party is
0:07:07 > 0:07:10free trade and business, how much influence will Republicans now have
0:07:10 > 0:07:16on this in the White House without Gary Cohn?Well over the past week
0:07:16 > 0:07:19boosting the triumph of the economic nationalist, the most well-known was
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Steve Bannon and he has gone of course. He was the former chief
0:07:24 > 0:07:32medical strategist and there are economic nationalist left. Peter
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Navarro was one of them coming he once wrote a book called death by
0:07:35 > 0:07:42China. And the Republican party has long been the party of free trade.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Evangelical about capitalism. One of the reasons for the liberalisation
0:07:46 > 0:07:51of trade policy around the world is that if modes capitalism and the
0:07:51 > 0:07:54world and they believe free trade is good for business. Many senior
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Republicans made the case that a trade war is something the US
0:07:58 > 0:08:04consumers and manufacturers will pay for. In the supermarkets and car
0:08:04 > 0:08:08dealerships. But Donald Trump is not persuaded by that, he has vacillated
0:08:08 > 0:08:13on a lot of policies including gun control that he has been consistent
0:08:13 > 0:08:19on this promise to renegotiate trade deals and to stop America being
0:08:19 > 0:08:23taken advantage of by foreign trading partners. That was the
0:08:23 > 0:08:29message that resonated during the 2016 campaign especially in the rust
0:08:29 > 0:08:33belt but got the presidency. With the promise that he is determined to
0:08:33 > 0:08:37keep with the intimidation of these tariffs.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40For more on the impact of Gary Cohn's departure we are joined
0:08:40 > 0:08:42now by Douglas Holtz Eakin, who was an economic advisor
0:08:42 > 0:08:45in the administration of George W Bush and is now
0:08:45 > 0:08:49President of the American Action Forum.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Thank you for joining me. He went through all this with President
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Bush. And Teresita tried to impose work overturned. Do you think that
0:08:59 > 0:09:04the same could happen to these? Almost certainly, one of the most
0:09:04 > 0:09:10frustrating aspects of this episode is they will be costs, direct costs
0:09:10 > 0:09:14in the steel consuming industries that will outweigh the benefits.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Costs in the form of trade retaliation and degradation of the
0:09:19 > 0:09:24world trading system and no benefits in the end because the WTO will save
0:09:24 > 0:09:29these are a violation and have to go.Even if they do go away can
0:09:29 > 0:09:33confidence in the US as trading partner the restored question mark I
0:09:33 > 0:09:37think it has been shaken, I think an enormous amount depends on the
0:09:37 > 0:09:42outcome of the Nafta negotiations. If that lands successfully with a
0:09:42 > 0:09:46tripartite agreement with the modernised Nafta that will be
0:09:46 > 0:09:51against a lot of the rhetoric from the president on the campaign trail.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56And for the betterment of the North American trading establishment.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02Wilbur Ross said today, commerce Secretary, that he's not looking for
0:10:02 > 0:10:07a trade war but sensible relations. Today I looked at the list that the
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Europeans are providing and seems they are already in the bunker. The
0:10:10 > 0:10:15provisional list that they will supply to EU member states, US goods
0:10:15 > 0:10:19that they will target, steel and industrial products, agricultural
0:10:19 > 0:10:25products, peanut butter, orange juice. It does not bode well.It
0:10:25 > 0:10:32does not and this is why their words do not match the actions. It is not
0:10:32 > 0:10:36that it is a hypothetical retaliation, it happened before and
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I was in the White House then, they put up a list and promised it will
0:10:40 > 0:10:44happen again. And it is a very measured retaliation. It takes a
0:10:44 > 0:10:49look at the scale of damage to Europeans, it matches that damage on
0:10:49 > 0:10:53US exporters and says OK, do you want to go forward. If they were
0:10:53 > 0:10:58paying attention to that and wise enough to scale back or drop it, the
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Europeans would also scaled back and that would be the right outcome.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Maybe Donald Trump will look at figures today, the American trade
0:11:07 > 0:11:12deficit swollen to its widest level in almost a decade. So maybe he is
0:11:12 > 0:11:15correct and other countries are taking the Mickey out of the United
0:11:15 > 0:11:22States.I think any sophisticated analysis of the trade deficit
0:11:22 > 0:11:25focuses on the mismatch between US investment and savings as a nation.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30That is the fundamental determinant of why we had the trade deficit.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33There's no tariff policy that would change that and some of the things
0:11:33 > 0:11:37that the president has accomplished, his big tax cuts, larger deficits
0:11:37 > 0:11:42and faster growth will almost certainly widen that deficit. So
0:11:42 > 0:11:45he's doing to frustration if he believes these policies will narrow
0:11:45 > 0:11:57the trade gap. - do to frustration.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Returning to our main story and be suspected poisoning of Sergei
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Skripal and his daughter.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09For more on this, let's speak
0:12:09 > 0:12:12to Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones - she's the UK's former chair
0:12:12 > 0:12:14of the Joint Intelligence Committee and was a security minister
0:12:14 > 0:12:18at the time of the spy swap in 2010 when Sirgei Skripal was transported
0:12:18 > 0:12:22from Russia to the UK.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25What does the implication of the police saying that this is a nerve
0:12:25 > 0:12:29agent because I understand they're not especially easy to store or to
0:12:29 > 0:12:33move.I think we will have to have further analysis. But
0:12:33 > 0:12:35move.I think we will have to have further analysis. But I think most
0:12:35 > 0:12:45people would conclude that it would be a very concerted and organised
0:12:45 > 0:12:51operation likely to be in the hands of state to achieve that kind of
0:12:51 > 0:13:02operation. So it does look like a Russian effort.As the former
0:13:02 > 0:13:05security minister of course you would know which kind of groups have
0:13:05 > 0:13:10these nerve agents. I know that Sarin gas is more commonly available
0:13:10 > 0:13:13but this appears to be a very sophisticated and potent nerve agent
0:13:13 > 0:13:17and that is not something that crime groups would get their hands on
0:13:17 > 0:13:24necessarily?Not easily. You have to be careful about making an
0:13:24 > 0:13:30accusation before we have full evidence. But it does point in the
0:13:30 > 0:13:36directions of being an operation by Anna stayed.Just to speak about the
0:13:36 > 0:13:45slight dashed this by swap, you are in position when what kind of
0:13:45 > 0:13:56negotiations went on in the background customer -?Seven
0:13:56 > 0:14:01protocols would have applied and you would not expect him to be the
0:14:01 > 0:14:05target of an operation of this kind. But we also have statements that
0:14:05 > 0:14:09appear to have been made by President Putin about people who
0:14:09 > 0:14:14fell into that category. So you cannot necessarily conclude that the
0:14:14 > 0:14:20normal protocol would necessarily operate.I suppose what will
0:14:20 > 0:14:25surprise some people are there are easier ways to kill someone who is
0:14:25 > 0:14:29considered to be a traitor of the state. You could push them out of
0:14:29 > 0:14:34the window, shoot them, whatever. It just seems to me using a nerve agent
0:14:34 > 0:14:40in public in a city really is like using a hammer to kill an insect.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Just a public way to do something. Why would they do that?You could
0:14:44 > 0:14:53say the same about Litvenenko. And I think there is a kind of right in a
0:14:53 > 0:15:02particularly sophisticated and unpleasant method of doing things.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06-- pride. If you're going to put this kind of thing into a country is
0:15:06 > 0:15:10easier than the kind of controls we have on weapons and knives and so
0:15:10 > 0:15:28on. So I think it is part of the style.Thank you very much.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35Diplomats from North Korea are thought to have the communication to
0:15:35 > 0:15:41give to the USA. Yesterday resident Trump said John Yang seemed sincere
0:15:41 > 0:15:52in its willingness to discuss the possibility of denuclearisation.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55He claimed tougher sanctions had brought North Korea to this point.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Well one man who has been at the table with Pyongyang before
0:15:57 > 0:15:59is Chris Hill, the former US Ambassador
0:15:59 > 0:16:03to South Korea and he joins us now.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Is there anything different about this new overture customer it seems
0:16:06 > 0:16:14like deja vu all over again but what is different is Kim Jung un has
0:16:14 > 0:16:19never said anything like this and suggested his nuclear programme is
0:16:19 > 0:16:24on the bargaining table so this is new.And out of respect and
0:16:24 > 0:16:26cooperation with the South Korean think that the Trump administration
0:16:26 > 0:16:29needs to hear this through and see if there's something there.What
0:16:29 > 0:16:35more could they give in order to facilitate the talks?For the Trump
0:16:35 > 0:16:38administration first of all I think they made some harsh words but I
0:16:38 > 0:16:42think it is important to keep sanctions on. In fact there are some
0:16:42 > 0:16:47sense that perhaps the sanctions have had some role in perhaps
0:16:47 > 0:16:50changing the North Koreans. So I would hold tough on those but be
0:16:50 > 0:16:55willing to work with the South Koreans and possibly get some kind
0:16:55 > 0:17:00of conversation and even negotiation going. So it is very important that
0:17:00 > 0:17:06they be cautious but not churlish about this.You talk about having a
0:17:06 > 0:17:09conversation and I just wonder who they would get to have that
0:17:09 > 0:17:14conversation. United States has lost its South Korean ambassador who was
0:17:14 > 0:17:20really the expert and his supposed replacement has withdrawn his
0:17:20 > 0:17:34negotiation. - withdrawn his application.Well that is correct,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38so it is a good question. I hope they're not thinking Jared Kushner
0:17:38 > 0:17:43at this point but certainly they must start to staff up that State
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Department and I think this special envoy should be in the State
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Department and hope there is a real effort because you can't have
0:17:51 > 0:17:55diplomacy without diplomats. That is precisely what this administration
0:17:55 > 0:18:03has been trying to do.Present Trump said it is his rhetoric has done
0:18:03 > 0:18:09this, he could be correct and maybe the North Koreans and Chinese have
0:18:09 > 0:18:14moved because of this.Whatever happens he is going to claim credit
0:18:14 > 0:18:18and that is fine. I think the South Koreans are working with him to give
0:18:18 > 0:18:24him credit so that is fine. The question is how to go forward,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27whether we can find something new in this and whether we can do something
0:18:27 > 0:18:33about this terrible situation on the Korean peninsula.Does the
0:18:33 > 0:18:38involvement of South Korea help or complicate negotiations?I think
0:18:38 > 0:18:42South Korea looks at North Korea through a lens that is a bit
0:18:42 > 0:18:47different from the way Americans look at the issue. It is different
0:18:47 > 0:18:51and I think we need to be respectful of the fact that the South Koreans
0:18:51 > 0:18:57live literally in the shadow of some 14,000 artillery tubes. We need to
0:18:57 > 0:19:00understand when they talk about peace and security on the Korean
0:19:00 > 0:19:03peninsula is something affecting them and their children. So they

0:19:21 > 0:19:23A BBC journalist has alleged that she was sexually harassed
0:19:23 > 0:19:26by the senior Russian politician Leonid Slutsky.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Farida Rustamova, from the BBC's Russian Service,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29is the third journalist to openly accuse Mr Slutsky of
0:19:29 > 0:19:33improper behaviour.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36The BBC is in possession of a recording of the incident,
0:19:36 > 0:19:37which was captured on a dictaphone.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Mr Slutsky denies the claims.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44An outspoken archbishop of El Salvador, who was shot dead
0:19:44 > 0:19:48in 1980 as he celebrated mass, is to be made a saint,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50according to the Vatican.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Archbishop Oscar Romero denounced repression and social
0:19:52 > 0:19:54injustice in his country as it descended into civil war.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17of the Japanese market.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And some incredible pictures to share with you
0:20:19 > 0:20:23from a volcano in southern Japan.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25A series of powerful eruptions has created
0:20:25 > 0:20:27a huge volcanic plume, which is now three-thousand
0:20:27 > 0:20:29metres high.
0:20:29 > 0:20:38Authorities are warning people not to approach the area.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We've been talking a lot about trade during this program -
0:20:42 > 0:20:44particularly when it comes to steel exports from Canada.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47But there are a number of other things the Canadians have
0:20:47 > 0:20:48introduced to the world - Justin Beiber, maple
0:20:49 > 0:20:52syrup for instance.
0:20:52 > 0:20:59And now we have axe throwing.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's a new trend that reportedly started with our neighbours
0:21:02 > 0:21:04in the north and is trying to - quite literally -
0:21:04 > 0:21:07find its mark here in Washington.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Of course, I had to give it a try.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16If you've had a bad day at work or maybe you've fallen out
0:21:16 > 0:21:18with your partner or burned a cake, I don't know.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22But what better way to ease the tension and get rid of some
0:21:22 > 0:21:26of that pent-up aggression than lob an axe at a wall!
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It's not like the normal thing to do.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Let's go do something I could end my life with today!
0:21:33 > 0:21:37So when it comes to this, everybody can kind of come
0:21:37 > 0:21:38and experience something new.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39It's a bonding experience.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42And it's a lot of fun.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Now, step on your right foot.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Give it a good go.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Take it up.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Step.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Well, I hit the target.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You did hit the target.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52That's a start.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53It's really not that dangerous.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56As long as you don't throw like a crazy person.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58And just try to have some fun.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Axe throwing is becoming alarmingly popular in the US
0:22:02 > 0:22:05having made its way across the border from Canada.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07There's even an axe throwing league.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09That is quite a medal you've got there.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12How did you win it?
0:22:12 > 0:22:21I threw it, I won this by throwing large axes at the wall eczema
0:22:21 > 0:22:23How did you do it, because I'm hopeless.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25What is your top tip for me?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26I go with the two-handed style, overhand.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28No wrist action, that's a common misconception.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29No risks involved in the throw.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32How does this make you feel?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36It makes me feel like a man, with a big hairy chest!
0:22:36 > 0:22:42Clearly my technique needs a little polish.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So after half a dozen throws, I promise I won't do
0:22:44 > 0:22:47anything bad with this.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm exhausted.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53The axe is getting blunt and I still haven't hit the target.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55But, it's great fun.
0:22:55 > 0:23:04And I'm so glad I've had a bad day at work!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And so the night wore on.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Come on!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Once you've mastered the basics there's no limit
0:23:12 > 0:23:15to what you can do with an axe.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20And then there's that golden moment when it all comes together.
0:23:20 > 0:23:27Yes!
0:23:27 > 0:23:37Jane O'Brien, BBC News, axe throwing queen of Washington.
0:23:37 > 0:23:44Are you serious, there's nothing you cannot do with the axe. Promise me
0:23:44 > 0:23:55you will never show that video. I have this image of being pinned to
0:23:55 > 0:23:59rotating board with Katty Kay trying to throw it at me.Well the last
0:23:59 > 0:24:07thing she said to me was to keep him in line. Whatever it takes. Axe
0:24:07 > 0:24:12throwing, you name it. And the last time we spoke you with throwing
0:24:12 > 0:24:24pizza dough. So I think that I win. Not a axe.Was it fun? Tremendous
0:24:24 > 0:24:29fun, real adrenaline buzz. I have to say ambassador Chris Hill left the
0:24:29 > 0:24:32studio rapidly. He was there a minute ago and suddenly he was not.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38I just think you should all be worried.I imagine it is a bit like
0:24:38 > 0:24:42screaming, scientists say it is good for you to scream and let it all
0:24:42 > 0:24:50out. The axe might be a good tonic. Another story from China, state
0:24:50 > 0:24:56media encouraging men and women to settle for someone who is kind of OK
0:24:56 > 0:25:03when choosing to marry. What they're saying in newspapers is that people
0:25:03 > 0:25:07are picky and they need to be less fussy when it comes to picking a
0:25:07 > 0:25:10partner. Apparently it follows concerns about the low birth rate
0:25:10 > 0:25:14the country for that newspaper estate to many single people have an
0:25:14 > 0:25:18idealised view of love that leads them to reject people who are
0:25:18 > 0:25:26perfectly reasonable partners. What do you reckon, if you do not like
0:25:26 > 0:25:37them you could just get rid of them with an axe X Mac.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and BBC World News - Saudi's crown prince is on the charm
0:25:44 > 0:25:47offensive in London - with this visit to the UK
0:25:47 > 0:25:48although it is a controversial one.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50And the Stormy Daniels saga - how a legal technicality
0:25:50 > 0:25:53might allow this adult film actress to tell all about an alleged
0:25:53 > 0:25:54affair with Donald Trump.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57That's still to come.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14Good evening. There is a bit of snow in the forecast tonight. Nothing
0:26:14 > 0:26:20like the snowfall we had a week ago. It will only be small areas of the
0:26:20 > 0:26:25country affected. But some parts of the Midlands could see some
0:26:25 > 0:26:32additional snowfall tonight. It does not look like much but it causes
0:26:32 > 0:26:37showers to Darren together into a slightly more organised area of rain
0:26:37 > 0:26:42or snow. Meanwhile we continue to see showers across parts of Northern
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Ireland and western Scotland. But further south we have much of the
0:26:46 > 0:26:52rain and the snow. The snowfall mostly reserved for higher ground,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56the hills and mountains of Wales, the North Midlands, parts of north
0:26:56 > 0:27:01England. But later in the night it may be that we see some snow
0:27:01 > 0:27:06temporarily to those lower levels. Temperatures falling away to
0:27:06 > 0:27:11freezing or below across the northern half of the country.
0:27:11 > 0:27:18Further south not so cold. But we could see some snow across the
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Midlands and the north of England and Wales. That could cause some
0:27:22 > 0:27:28disruption of your BBC local radio station will keep you up to date.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34This area of snow and rain slides away very quickly and then not a bad
0:27:34 > 0:27:37day for many with some spells of sunshine and just a scattering of
0:27:37 > 0:27:42showers. And relatively mild compared with what we had a week
0:27:42 > 0:27:48ago. Highs of seven in Aberdeen, 10 degrees in London. Then on Friday
0:27:48 > 0:27:53dry weather around, some showers in the North, wintry over higher ground
0:27:53 > 0:27:57and data during the day wet weather pushing across the Channel Islands
0:27:57 > 0:28:02and into the south-west of England. Pretty heavy rain developing
0:28:02 > 0:28:08courtesy of a frontal system pushing its way north during Friday night
0:28:08 > 0:28:13into Saturday. All driven by low pressure. But with that out of the
0:28:13 > 0:28:17west we develop a southerly wind which brings in some pretty mild air
0:28:17 > 0:28:24as we go through the weekend. So for the weekend pretty mild, double
0:28:24 > 0:28:30digits in the South and some rain at times.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08This is Beyond 100 Days, with me Christian Fraser in London.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Jane O'Brien is in Washington.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Our top stories:
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Police reveal that the former Russian spy who collapsed
0:30:14 > 0:30:19in Salisbury, England was poisoned by a very rare nerve agent.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Another major departure at the White House.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24This time, it is the President's top economic advisor stepping down
0:30:24 > 0:30:27after a rift over tariffs.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Coming up in the next half-hour:
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Fishing and finance - the European Council gives more
0:30:32 > 0:30:35details about what sort of trade deal the EU would like in
0:30:35 > 0:30:38a post-Brexit Britain.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Saudi's Crown Prince arrives in the UK.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42He meets the Prime Minister and has lunch with the Queen,
0:30:42 > 0:30:46but there are those not rolling out the welcome mat.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02The British government has set down plenty of red lines
0:31:02 > 0:31:03in this Brexit negotiation.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Today, it was the turn of the European Union.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08In Luxembourg, they have published draft guidelines
0:31:08 > 0:31:11for the negotiations of a future relationship.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16The European Council President, Donald Tusk, said the EU wants
0:31:16 > 0:31:18a free-trade agreement with zero-tariffs goods and reciprocal
0:31:18 > 0:31:20access to fisheries.
0:31:20 > 0:31:26But the document provides little detail on financial services.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28In London, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31said any deal that didn't encompass Britain's service sector -
0:31:31 > 0:31:35which includes banks - would not be viewed as a fair deal.
0:31:35 > 0:31:41Our UK political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45A different Mansion House.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47This time, in a Luxembourg garden.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50But there's strife ahead, even in this, the most
0:31:50 > 0:31:55tranquil surroundings.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56The European Union revealed its response
0:31:56 > 0:31:59to Theresa May's plans for Brexit.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00It will make it more complicated and costly
0:32:01 > 0:32:05than today, for all of us.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10This is the essence of Brexit.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12A pick-and-mix approach for a non-member state
0:32:12 > 0:32:14is out of the question.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18We are not going to sacrifice these principles.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23It is simply not in our interest.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Unfortunately, and we have to know, there will be be no
0:32:26 > 0:32:27winners after the Brexit.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33Both sides will be losing.
0:32:33 > 0:32:40The EU has been united with that gloomy message.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43But it was only on Friday the Prime Minister said she wanted
0:32:43 > 0:32:45an ambitious trade partnership where the bloc but accepted
0:32:45 > 0:32:46compromises would be made.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48So how do the two sides compare?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51The EU guidelines of a possible deal say there will be negative
0:32:51 > 0:32:52economic consequences.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54And, while the Prime Minister said all agreements mean
0:32:54 > 0:32:57picking and choosing, the EU insists the UK can't cherry
0:32:57 > 0:33:07pick the bits of the EU it likes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13But the unions accepted the goal of a trade deal
0:33:13 > 0:33:14where there are no tariffss but controversially,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17only if the EU keeps access to fish British waters.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Crucially there is space to budge.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24The document says if the UK positions were to evolve,
0:33:24 > 0:33:28the union will be prepared to reconsider its offer,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31and there is the chance of brokering a limited deal over services,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33including the giant money machine of the City of London.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Where the Chancellor shrugged off the Brussels position.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37They are very skilled and disciplined in the way
0:33:37 > 0:33:40they carry out negotiation.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44It doesn't surprise me remotely that what they have set out this morning
0:33:44 > 0:33:47is a very tough position.
0:33:47 > 0:33:57But Labour claims the Government's approach is all over the place.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02We can change the tone into one of mutual respect
0:34:02 > 0:34:04and we can get the deal that
0:34:04 > 0:34:05will protect the economy and jobs.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08There are big gaps between what the Government wants
0:34:08 > 0:34:09and what the EU is willing to give.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15And it is clear, it is easier for Brussels not Westminster to call
0:34:15 > 0:34:20the shots, but in this long, tortured process, today is not
0:34:20 > 0:34:24a moment of political panic.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25It is clear from both sides
0:34:25 > 0:34:31and from these guidelines, there is a real conversation to be had.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33President Trump is facing more pressure from within
0:34:33 > 0:34:34the administration and from outside.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It's emerged porn actress Stormy Daniels is taking legal
0:34:36 > 0:34:38action to have a non-disclosure agreement about her alleged
0:34:38 > 0:34:43relationship with Donald Trump declared void.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Stormy, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford,
0:34:45 > 0:34:50claimed to have had an affair with Mr Trump in 2006 and 2007.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54The President's personal lawyer has admitted paying Ms Clifford money
0:34:54 > 0:34:56before the Presidential election, but denies the pair ever
0:34:56 > 0:35:00had a relationship.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Joining me now to discuss any legal jeopardy this could put
0:35:03 > 0:35:12the President in is Jonathan Turley from George Washington University.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17Thank you for coming in. This is a story that's been rumbling on for
0:35:17 > 0:35:23some time, so how does this court challenge change it?It really
0:35:23 > 0:35:26involves a couple of surprising details, one is that the president
0:35:26 > 0:35:30was using a fake name during these negotiations over what Stormy
0:35:30 > 0:35:36Daniels refers to as the hush money. His attorney, a man called Colin,
0:35:36 > 0:35:41also used in a shoot name in all of these fake corporate entities to cut
0:35:41 > 0:35:46this deal. She is essentially saying that the agreement is now invalid
0:35:46 > 0:35:51for two reasons, and one is that the president never signed it, in either
0:35:51 > 0:35:55his real or fake name, and second, and this is probably the stronger
0:35:55 > 0:36:00argument, that the President's lawyer has nullified the agreement
0:36:00 > 0:36:03because he spoke publicly. The agreement also says quite clearly in
0:36:03 > 0:36:09a court document that she said she had a year-long affair with the
0:36:09 > 0:36:16president, something his attorney has denied. That isn't just some
0:36:16 > 0:36:20tabloid magazine, but a court document, where she is under
0:36:20 > 0:36:24obligations to be true.It all sounds a bit of a mess. What do you
0:36:24 > 0:36:30make of the way this has been handled by the attorneys in the
0:36:30 > 0:36:34White House?Any controversy involving a porn star called Stormy
0:36:34 > 0:36:38is probably not going to turn out well, so it's definitely not a good
0:36:38 > 0:36:44thing. This could be a serious threat. John Edwards, who ran for
0:36:44 > 0:36:48president, was indicted when a third party paid off essentially a woman
0:36:48 > 0:36:50he was having an affair with, and she ultimately bore a child with
0:36:50 > 0:37:01him. He was indicted and stood for criminal campaign finance violation
0:37:01 > 0:37:06charge. Bill Clinton followed the same path, you had the filing of a
0:37:06 > 0:37:10civil suit involving a relationship before he became president, and
0:37:10 > 0:37:13ultimately led to his impeachment because he decided he wouldn't tell
0:37:13 > 0:37:18the truth under oath. So these are precarious waters for any president.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23It was the lie that did for Bill Clinton, wasn't it, the lie that he
0:37:23 > 0:37:31told. What happens if Robert Mueller, the special council, but
0:37:31 > 0:37:36the president under oath and asks him about this specific subject and
0:37:36 > 0:37:41whether money changed hands. Is that where this gets tricky for the
0:37:41 > 0:37:45president?It does, and that is the high risk scenario. Because this
0:37:45 > 0:37:52money has been alleged to be a campaign finance violation, it falls
0:37:52 > 0:37:56within the bailiwick of the special council. He has been given a charge
0:37:56 > 0:38:01allowing him to look at the election and any crimes that arise in the
0:38:01 > 0:38:05course of his investigation. He could clearly ask the president not
0:38:05 > 0:38:09only did he have this affair, but whether this money was a quid pro
0:38:09 > 0:38:15quo, whether it was hush money. The president would need, like Bill
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Clinton, to answer truthfully, no matter what the embarrassment might
0:38:18 > 0:38:24be. The Republicans in Congress would be hard-pressed not to say
0:38:24 > 0:38:31that it was an impeachable offence, as it was for Bill Clinton.How do
0:38:31 > 0:38:39you think he has handled it?Well, I think it's interesting, in that the
0:38:39 > 0:38:41political irony is that he might well have survived the scandal of an
0:38:41 > 0:38:48alleged affair with a porn actress. He's handled allegations made
0:38:48 > 0:38:52against him by women and, of course, we had the tapes where he admitted
0:38:52 > 0:39:00groping women publicly. The problem he's in is any attempt to cover it
0:39:00 > 0:39:04up. That, as Jonathan is saying, is really the thing that is back to
0:39:04 > 0:39:11haunt him. Had he just tried to stick it out, there is all in
0:39:11 > 0:39:15indication that this wouldn't have affected his face, that women would
0:39:15 > 0:39:19have continued to vote for him, and it wouldn't have affected his
0:39:19 > 0:39:23standing in the polls. This is the sort of behaviour most of his
0:39:23 > 0:39:28supporters just go, it's Donald trump.Like he says, I could murder
0:39:28 > 0:39:32somebody on fifth Ave and they wouldn't care, and maybe they don't
0:39:32 > 0:39:36care about the consensual sex, but perhaps they would care if there was
0:39:36 > 0:39:40perjury or he walked into problems over campaign finance.Exactly, and
0:39:40 > 0:39:49it's going to be an interesting legal tussle.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Britain and Saudi Arabia are pledging to build more than $90
0:39:52 > 0:39:58billion worth of trade and investment ties. The announcement
0:39:58 > 0:40:02comes as Theresa May has met with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown
0:40:02 > 0:40:05prince of Saudi Arabia, who arrived at the start of a three-day visit to
0:40:05 > 0:40:07the UK.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Campaigners have been out in force today, protesting Saudi Arabia's
0:40:09 > 0:40:12record on human rights and the war they've led against
0:40:12 > 0:40:16the Houthis in Yemen.
0:40:16 > 0:40:23But the pair have agreed a political solution, say Theresa May's office.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27She reminded MPs the two countries have long-standing ties,
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31is with me now.
0:40:31 > 0:40:37I saw your interview with the Foreign Minister yesterday. The fact
0:40:37 > 0:40:40that Mohammed bin Salman is being given the red carpet treatment
0:40:40 > 0:40:44today, he had lunch with the Queen and I think he's having dinner with
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Prince Charles and Prince William tonight, does that suggest that,
0:40:48 > 0:40:53although it falls short of a state visit, it is hugely important to the
0:40:53 > 0:41:03UK?To both sides, and the mention is the United Kingdoms. Mohammed bin
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Salman is 32. Barring some unexpected development, and we
0:41:06 > 0:41:10always have to expect that in the volatile Middle East, he will be
0:41:10 > 0:41:13King one day, and therefore Britain will want to do with him. What
0:41:13 > 0:41:17better time than when he is young and when he is starting out. It is
0:41:17 > 0:41:21first trip to Britain as crown prince, and he has been put in
0:41:21 > 0:41:26charge of a folio covering the in Yemen and also social reform. I go
0:41:26 > 0:41:31to Saudi Arabia every few months and, in the space of a few months,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35so much changes, but a lot doesn't change, including the response to
0:41:35 > 0:41:39dissent, which is always suppressed immediately, and the war in Yemen
0:41:39 > 0:41:42has dragged on longer than Saudi Arabia expected. But there is a
0:41:42 > 0:41:45close relationship. They are saying it is more than a century long
0:41:45 > 0:41:53relationship. The bedrock of that is a tricky relationship, and most of
0:41:53 > 0:41:59that trade is that defence. Britain would to be the major suppliers of
0:41:59 > 0:42:03arms, so it is controversial. Dissent isn't tolerated and neither,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06it seems is bad PR. Some extraordinary adverts. I want to
0:42:06 > 0:42:12show viewers a story in the God -- the Guardian written by Emily
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Thornberry, and it was an attack on human rights, she didn't like the
0:42:18 > 0:42:21red carpet is being rolled out. But the advert at the somebody has paid
0:42:21 > 0:42:26for it, and if you drive from Heathrow to central London today,
0:42:26 > 0:42:31all along the route of the Mfor, you could see billboards, bringing
0:42:31 > 0:42:34change to Saudi Arabia, and they have gone to some effort to make
0:42:34 > 0:42:39sure it looks good.They were aware there would be billboards saying the
0:42:39 > 0:42:43opposite, and when I went to the Saudi embassy earlier this week,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46they had reinforced security measures and there was a fan going
0:42:46 > 0:42:48around the embassy with a picture of Mohammed bin Salman and say he
0:42:48 > 0:42:55should not be welcomed. The fact remains that he is popular at home.
0:42:55 > 0:43:02He is of a generation, and the vast majority of Saudis are of the same
0:43:02 > 0:43:07age as him, 30 or under, and he is bringing change, he is determined to
0:43:07 > 0:43:12push, to pole, to drag his kingdom into the 21st century, and it is
0:43:12 > 0:43:17things that we take as bog-standard, allowing women to drive and Goodison
0:43:17 > 0:43:20on Mars, allowing women to sit in sports in a mask, and we think, is
0:43:20 > 0:43:28that it? He wants to make economic change. He wants to diversify from
0:43:28 > 0:43:33oil. There is much at stake, because it is do or die. He knows that, if
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Saudi Arabia doesn't change, it will collapse. Wedge he is coming to the
0:43:36 > 0:43:44US next week to continue the charm offensive, presumably.These are
0:43:44 > 0:43:47long-standing relationships. Why does he feel the need to consolidate
0:43:47 > 0:43:54them in this way?When he comes to Washington, and I was in Riyadh for
0:43:54 > 0:43:58President Trump's visit, his first foreign visit as president, and the
0:43:58 > 0:44:04strength of the relationship was on the show. Saudi Arabia gave
0:44:04 > 0:44:07unconditional support to President Trump at a time where President
0:44:07 > 0:44:12Trump was being criticised for his travel ban, which was essentially
0:44:12 > 0:44:16against majority Muslim countries, when he was being criticised for
0:44:16 > 0:44:20misogyny and everything else. I was in Saudi Arabia at the time, and he
0:44:20 > 0:44:29had across the board support, tinged with, thank God President Obama is
0:44:29 > 0:44:33gone, because there were so many tensions. But income is President
0:44:33 > 0:44:39Trump, who sees the main threat in the region as Iran, that they need
0:44:39 > 0:44:46to work together to fight terrorism, and it is jobs, jobs, deals, deals.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51President Trump was so excited about how many arms deals he did when he
0:44:51 > 0:44:53was in Riyadh, and that will continue, that kind shoulder to
0:44:53 > 0:44:59shoulder, the United States and Saudi Arabia.Always good to have
0:44:59 > 0:45:02you in the studio. Nice to see you.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03This is Beyond 100 Days.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Still to come - autonomous driving and electric supercars.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08We head to this year's Geneva Motor Show to take a closer
0:45:08 > 0:45:10look at the rides of the future.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Here in the UK, an 18-year-old asylum seeker from Iraq has gone
0:45:19 > 0:45:22on trial, accused of planting a bomb on a London Underground train
0:45:22 > 0:45:26at Parsons Green in south-west London last September.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29The jury has been told the device was designed to cause
0:45:29 > 0:45:30"maximum harm and carnage".
0:45:30 > 0:45:3330 people were injured when the bomb partially exploded.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Ahmed Hassan denies attempted murder and causing an explosion
0:45:36 > 0:45:38likely to endanger life.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly, has more.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43SIRENS.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45An autumn morning last year.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48And today the Old Bailey heard how an improvised explosive
0:45:48 > 0:45:52device partially detonated on an underground train just as it
0:45:52 > 0:45:56pulled into Parsons Green station.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59The partial explosion created a large fireball in a carriage
0:45:59 > 0:46:02carrying around 93 passengers.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07Some were caught by the flames and sustained significant burns.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11The teenager on trial for the attack was brought to court to face charges
0:46:11 > 0:46:14of attempted murder and causing an explosion likely
0:46:14 > 0:46:17to endanger life.
0:46:17 > 0:46:1918-year-old Ahmed Hassan, an asylum seeker from Iraq,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22is pleading not guilty.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24When he arrived in the UK he told immigration officials
0:46:24 > 0:46:27that he had been forcibly taken by the Islamic State group
0:46:28 > 0:46:31and trained to kill by them.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34He said he had got away from IS and was in fear of them.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Today the court heard that Hassan left his device
0:46:36 > 0:46:38in a bucket on the train.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41It was said to be loaded with shrapnel to cause
0:46:41 > 0:46:43maximum harm and damage.
0:46:43 > 0:46:49And he had used the volatile explosive TATP.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51The prosecutor Alison Morgan said of the passengers,
0:46:51 > 0:46:52many ran in fear and panic.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55They were fortunate.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Ahmed Hassan had fitted the device with a timer.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13He got off at the station before.
0:47:13 > 0:47:17He was arrested 24 hours later.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20June Kelly, BBC News, at the Old Bailey.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26You're watching Beyond 100 Days.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29It is hard to overstate the importance of the insurance
0:47:29 > 0:47:33and banking sector to the UK economy - over a million UK jobs, worth over
0:47:33 > 0:47:38£120 billion to the economy - and, as things stand,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41London is one of the most important financial capitals in the world.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44So what happens after Brexit?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47In an interview with the BBC this week, the French economy minister
0:47:47 > 0:47:50made clear that France does not think financial services can be part
0:47:51 > 0:47:53of any future EU-UK trade deal.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56In a speech today, the Chancellor of the Exchequer made clear
0:47:56 > 0:48:04he thinks otherwise.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08A trade deal will only happen if it is fair and balances the interests
0:48:08 > 0:48:15of both sides. Given the shape of the British economy, and our trade
0:48:15 > 0:48:19balance with the EU 27, it's hard to see how any deal that didn't include
0:48:19 > 0:48:25services could look like a fair and balanced settlement. So I'm clear
0:48:25 > 0:48:28not only that it is possible to include financial services within a
0:48:28 > 0:48:35trade deal but that it is very much in our mutual interest to do so.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Well, Lloyd's of London is one of the oldest financial
0:48:37 > 0:48:38institutions in the City.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41For 300 years, it has provided insurance services across the world.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Katty and I have been chatting to CEO Baroness Inga Beale
0:48:43 > 0:48:46about Brexit, and I asked her about the plans to move
0:48:46 > 0:48:53a subsidiary to Brussels.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57Over 80% of Lloyd's business comes from outside the UK, and about 10%
0:48:57 > 0:49:02of that comes from the EU 27. So we've got a whole load of business
0:49:02 > 0:49:07that will continue to be traded in London, as it always has done. The
0:49:07 > 0:49:11reason we are having to set up a subsidiary in Brussels is to service
0:49:11 > 0:49:15that piece of the business that is just coming from the EU 27, and
0:49:15 > 0:49:20that's about 4 billion euros of business, and we will set up a legal
0:49:20 > 0:49:25entity in Brussels and we will have staff there, but a lot of the
0:49:25 > 0:49:27activity and expertise will still continue to sit in London. So the
0:49:27 > 0:49:32busy, bustling underrating in the trading room that you see behind me,
0:49:32 > 0:49:39that will still be in existence and it will be a key part of Lloyd's
0:49:39 > 0:49:44business model going forwards.What does this mean in terms of jobs, not
0:49:44 > 0:49:48just at Lloyds but in the insurance market? How big a shift could it be
0:49:48 > 0:49:54from the UK to the continent in terms of job numbers?We don't think
0:49:54 > 0:49:58it will be that large. For Lloyds, it's a small fraction of the total
0:49:58 > 0:50:03employee base, or the total people that work in the market. Over time,
0:50:03 > 0:50:07it could be that more people decide to have people situated in France or
0:50:07 > 0:50:11Germany or Italy, because they see business opportunity coming out of
0:50:11 > 0:50:15it, so that's the way we are trying to look at it, looking at it from
0:50:15 > 0:50:21the newly -- from an opportunistic point of view.You have repeatedly
0:50:21 > 0:50:24said you don't want any more uncertainty, and you would like the
0:50:24 > 0:50:29government to provide more certainty to your industry. What is it that
0:50:29 > 0:50:33you want the UK Government to do, and how fast do you need them to do
0:50:33 > 0:50:40it?We have years and years of back policies, and the life insurance
0:50:40 > 0:50:42players and pension providers have long-term contracts. The issue is
0:50:42 > 0:50:50that, once we have exited the EU, many of our firms are many insurance
0:50:50 > 0:50:55firms will no longer be licensed and they won't be able to service those
0:50:55 > 0:51:00contracts, so one of our big asks is to have certainty of being able to
0:51:00 > 0:51:04service those contracts. That could be provided by the regulator is
0:51:04 > 0:51:08right across Europe, and by Europe I include the UK regulators, they
0:51:08 > 0:51:15could solve this, and that is of our asks, if the government doesn't
0:51:15 > 0:51:19negotiate some access to a single market for financial services, the
0:51:19 > 0:51:25regulators could still come up with a rival option that would secure our
0:51:25 > 0:51:28ability to service those customers. You said that there are
0:51:28 > 0:51:34opportunities and new in Europe. Do you think there are worldwide?The
0:51:34 > 0:51:37US is by far Lloyd's largest market, and we have long-standing
0:51:37 > 0:51:41relationships in the US, and we continue to see growth but, when we
0:51:41 > 0:51:44look further afield to other markets, Asia has a population of 4
0:51:44 > 0:51:50billion.You just set out right there all of the worldwide
0:51:50 > 0:51:55opportunities.We believe there are, but we've got to be able to still
0:51:55 > 0:52:00look after our business within Europe, so of course we spend, and I
0:52:00 > 0:52:04spent, as a CEO, quite a bit of time on Brexit, I have to admit, and
0:52:04 > 0:52:09that's about defending what we have, but any business wants to turn
0:52:09 > 0:52:12everything they can into an opportunity, so we must be positive
0:52:12 > 0:52:16in our outlook. We believe there could be good opportunities for
0:52:16 > 0:52:21Lloyds within the whole of Europe, including the whole way through the
0:52:21 > 0:52:26EU countries, but also we must take our eye off the ball of the above --
0:52:26 > 0:52:31of the other opportunities. We've been set up in Singapore for some
0:52:31 > 0:52:36years, we celebrated ten years in China last year, we set up in Dubai
0:52:36 > 0:52:39a few years ago, and those centres are becoming more and more important
0:52:39 > 0:52:46for Lloyds overall global business.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49My car didn't start this morning, so I've got a vested interest in the
0:52:49 > 0:52:51next piece of news.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Let's take you now to one of the highlights of the car
0:52:53 > 0:52:55industry's calendar - the Geneva Motor Show,
0:52:55 > 0:53:00which is on this week.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Maybe I could get a new car!
0:53:03 > 0:53:06Even though the business may be worried about the fall in diesel
0:53:06 > 0:53:08vehicle sales and a possible trade war with the United States,
0:53:08 > 0:53:10there's still room to dream.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Our correspondent Theo Leggett is there and had a tour of how
0:53:12 > 0:53:14motoring might look in the future.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Here in Geneva, I am surrounded by hundreds of cars which are either
0:53:17 > 0:53:19on the market already or soon to go on sale.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22But what I really like about shows like this one is you get
0:53:22 > 0:53:25an indication of what manufacturers think we'll be driving in a few
0:53:25 > 0:53:30years' time so let's take a look into the future...
0:53:30 > 0:53:34Here we are in the future and what do we have here?
0:53:34 > 0:53:37This little machine is a robot taxi because people will be living
0:53:37 > 0:53:39in cities and they will want to get around.
0:53:39 > 0:53:44So come on inside.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48Do take a seat because there is plenty of room in here.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Now, one thing you might notice, looking around, is there is no
0:53:51 > 0:53:55driver, and that is because this is a robot taxi -
0:53:55 > 0:53:57it is the future, after all.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59It is electric, it's clean, it's green, it's an alternative
0:53:59 > 0:54:03to buses or trams or other forms of public transport.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06So in one sense it is a taxi but, remember, don't
0:54:06 > 0:54:08complain about the driving.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09How about this?
0:54:09 > 0:54:11It looks like something out of Blade Runner.
0:54:11 > 0:54:15It's a new concept from Toyota and, because it's from the future,
0:54:15 > 0:54:17as you will see in the moment, it has funky internal lighting.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21It's also electric, self driving but at least it does have a steering
0:54:21 > 0:54:25wheel for when you really feel like taking control.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Or how about this?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30It's the new nucleus concept from Italian designer house,
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Icona, and as you can see, it is basically a living
0:54:33 > 0:54:36room on wheels.
0:54:36 > 0:54:42Icona says this is not being planned for tomorrow,
0:54:42 > 0:54:45it's for the day after tomorrow, it's a distant future idea -
0:54:45 > 0:54:47but as you can see, lots and lots of space,
0:54:47 > 0:54:50there's a bar over there, big seats - this one's so large,
0:54:50 > 0:54:53you can even lie down and have a sleep so that is
0:54:53 > 0:54:55what I going to do, goodnight.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59And if futuristic really is not your thing, don't worry,
0:54:59 > 0:55:02you can always come here to the David Brown Automotive
0:55:02 > 0:55:05stand where you can find a new take on an old classic.
0:55:06 > 0:55:07SIGHS.
0:55:07 > 0:55:14Lovely.
0:55:14 > 0:55:19Yes, that's more like it! My car is in black and white as well. Not a
0:55:19 > 0:55:22jump lead inside. All of the new toys at the Geneva car show.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Before we go, take a look at these pictures of an amazing
0:55:25 > 0:55:30rescue in California.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34This is my nightmare, I've just come back from skiing with my children.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36A five-year-old skier lost consciousness after she was left
