0:00:08 > 0:00:10The British Prime Minister slams the Russian Government over
0:00:11 > 0:00:12the poisoning of a former spy.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Theresa May says it's highly likely the Kremlin was involved.
0:00:16 > 0:00:24So, what's she going to do about it?
0:00:24 > 0:00:29This attempted murder using weapons grade nerve agent in a British town
0:00:29 > 0:00:34was not just a crime against the Skripals, it was an indiscriminate
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and reckless act the United Kingdom.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38it was an indiscriminate and reckless act the United Kingdom.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40The Russian ambassador to London has been summoned
0:00:40 > 0:00:43to explain the attack - and Mrs May says there cannot be
0:00:43 > 0:00:45business as usual with Moscow.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Radio silence from North Korea on Trump's

0:01:00 > 0:01:04What we are looking to achieve is for people to come forward,

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Moscow - your move.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The British Prime Minister Theresa May has given Russia a day
0:01:41 > 0:01:45to respond to allegations that it was behind the poisoning
0:01:45 > 0:01:50of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51England, eight days ago.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53If Moscow's response isn't credible,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55said the Prime Minister, the incident would be deemed
0:01:55 > 0:01:57an unlawful use of force against Britain and her government
0:01:57 > 0:02:00would take extensive, as yet unspecified, measures.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Mrs May told Parliament they'd been poisoned with a military-grade nerve
0:02:03 > 0:02:09agent of a type developed by Russia.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale reports.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Today, police continued to examine the Salisbury home of Sergei
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Skripal, more than a week after the former Russian
0:02:19 > 0:02:24intelligence officer and his daughter were attacked with
0:02:24 > 0:02:26a nerve agent, a week during which it has remained unclear
0:02:26 > 0:02:29who carried out the crime and wide.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30who carried out the crime and why.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So, this morning ministers gathered for a
0:02:32 > 0:02:34meeting of the National Security Council, looking for answers.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37An update on the investigation from the
0:02:37 > 0:02:39police and intelligence services that would allow them and the Prime
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Minister to decide what steps to take next.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46For some days, ministers have been pushing Theresa May for
0:02:46 > 0:02:48a tougher response.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51This afternoon, she was clear who she thought was
0:02:51 > 0:02:52responsible, and what they should do.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56It is now clear that Mr Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with
0:02:56 > 0:03:01a military grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia.
0:03:01 > 0:03:08It is part of a group of nerve agents known as Novichok.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14Based on the analysis of world leading experts at Porton Down,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17our knowledge that Russia has previously
0:03:18 > 0:03:19produced this agent and
0:03:19 > 0:03:22would still be capable of doing so, the Government has concluded that it
0:03:22 > 0:03:25is highly likely that Russia was responsible for the act against
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Sergei and Yulia Skripal.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30She said the Foreign Secretary had summoned
0:03:30 > 0:03:33the Russian ambassador and told him he had
0:03:33 > 0:03:37until the end of tomorrow to explain
0:03:37 > 0:03:39whether this was a direct act by the Russian state
0:03:39 > 0:03:41or by others who now control the nerve agent.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Mr Speaker, this attempted murder using a weapons grade nerve agent
0:03:44 > 0:03:47in a British town was not just a crime
0:03:47 > 0:03:50against the Skripals, it was
0:03:50 > 0:03:56an indiscriminate and reckless act against the United Kingdom, putting
0:03:56 > 0:03:58the lives of innocent civilians at risk.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And we will not tolerate such a brazen attempt to murder in
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And we will not tolerate such a brazen attempt to murder
0:04:04 > 0:04:05innocent civilians on our soil.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10The Labour leader called for tougher sanctions
0:04:10 > 0:04:13on oligarchs living in London.
0:04:13 > 0:04:21We need to continue seeking a robust dialogue with Russia on all
0:04:21 > 0:04:22the issues currently dividing our countries,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24both domestic and international.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Rather than simply cutting off contact and letting the
0:04:26 > 0:04:29tensions and divisions get worse.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Earlier today, before the statement, President Putin was visiting an
0:04:32 > 0:04:34agricultural centre in southern Russia and dismissed a question from
0:04:34 > 0:04:37the BBC's Steve Rosenberg.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39President Putin, BBC News - is Russia behind
0:04:39 > 0:04:45the poisoning of Sergei Skripal?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49TRANSLATION:We are dealing with agriculture here, as you see, to
0:04:49 > 0:04:52create conditions for people's lives, and you talk to me about some
0:04:52 > 0:04:53tragedies.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56First get to the bottom of it there and then we will discuss
0:04:56 > 0:04:57this.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00But now that Russia has been blamed officially for what happened
0:05:00 > 0:05:10in Salisbury, it has 24 hours to decide how to respond.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14In the report there, you saw our correspondent Steve Rosenberg. We
0:05:14 > 0:05:17have been speaking to him and I asked if Moscow would be worried
0:05:17 > 0:05:21about what they heard in the British Parliament today.The biggest
0:05:21 > 0:05:25problem the British Government faces here is the way it is perceived by
0:05:25 > 0:05:29the Kremlin. I think it is perceived as pretty weak, Britain is perceived
0:05:29 > 0:05:34as quite weak, because Moscow here's British politicians in Parliament
0:05:34 > 0:05:37criticising Russia, huffing and puffing, but the Russians don't
0:05:37 > 0:05:45believe that Britain will blow the house down, that will take strong
0:05:45 > 0:05:48measures against Moscow, so the key question now is that if, come
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Wednesday, Britain could prove that this was an act of state-sponsored
0:05:51 > 0:05:54force by Russia, what kind of measures will Britain, perhaps
0:05:54 > 0:05:58together with her allies, take against Moscow?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Well let's get more from our chief political correspondent Vicki Young.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Some very strong words in the house this afternoon. Theresa May's
0:06:07 > 0:06:10language suggests that just kicking out a few diplomats isn't really
0:06:10 > 0:06:15going to cut it.No, and she is under a lot of pressure from any on
0:06:15 > 0:06:18her own side as well as others to do more than that and I think the
0:06:18 > 0:06:23phrase it will not be business as usual means that they are planning
0:06:23 > 0:06:26something more than that. We understand that the Foreign
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Secretary Boris Johnson called in the Russian ambassador this
0:06:29 > 0:06:34afternoon at about 3:45pm. His tone was cool and firm, there was no
0:06:34 > 0:06:39handshake between the two of the man the Foreign Secretary expressed the
0:06:39 > 0:06:44outrage felt by the British public about the reckless disregard for
0:06:44 > 0:06:48public safety and as you say, the Russians have until midnight
0:06:48 > 0:06:51tomorrow to give their response and the British Government saying you
0:06:51 > 0:06:54either did directly target is or you have lost control of this nerve
0:06:54 > 0:06:59agent and either of those scenarios mean there will be some kind of
0:06:59 > 0:07:03extensive retaliation. The question is whether it is a wholesale
0:07:03 > 0:07:07expulsion of diplomats from this country, but I think Britain knows
0:07:07 > 0:07:11that really to have a powerful impact, it has to work with its
0:07:11 > 0:07:16allies, so that means people in the European Union, it means Nato, it
0:07:16 > 0:07:21means the United Nations, trying to get allies onside to make Russia
0:07:21 > 0:07:25think again. One senior Conservative MP said to me, when I said would
0:07:25 > 0:07:29President Putin care whatever we did and he said in the end, this has got
0:07:29 > 0:07:35to be about the relationship we have going forward. At the moment, it is
0:07:35 > 0:07:38an abusive relationship, Russia does not respect Britain and we have to
0:07:38 > 0:07:42make them respect us. KATTY: Vicki Young, thank you very
0:07:42 > 0:07:47much. I guess this is the question, is the Prime Minister going to be
0:07:47 > 0:07:51successful in making this not just a British issue but making it an
0:07:51 > 0:07:55international issue so she can get allies on board to have a robust
0:07:55 > 0:07:57response. CHRISTIAN: There are some obvious
0:07:57 > 0:08:01thing she can do in the UK, so there are 99 companies listed on the
0:08:01 > 0:08:06British stock exchange, over 3,000 Russian students here, about £1.3
0:08:06 > 0:08:10billion worth of investment in property that is of suspicious
0:08:10 > 0:08:16funds, according to transparency International, so she can certainly
0:08:16 > 0:08:19target that side of things in the UK but like you say, she will want this
0:08:19 > 0:08:22to be an international effort. Not easy when you look at the Europeans,
0:08:22 > 0:08:28in Italy, the 5-star movement have gone a bit soft on Russia, the
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Germans have not been inclined to impose tough sanctions on Russia
0:08:30 > 0:08:33either and of course there is Brexit, so they are not particularly
0:08:33 > 0:08:37enamoured with the UK at the moment. There is though the collective
0:08:37 > 0:08:42defence principle within the founding Treaty of Nato, article
0:08:42 > 0:08:45five, and there has been some suggestion from ministers that that
0:08:45 > 0:08:50might be one way they would go. KATTY: Then she faces the same
0:08:50 > 0:08:53problem she faces with the Europeans, she would have to get the
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Americans on board to get some kind of Nato response. Looking at the
0:08:57 > 0:09:01White House and President Trump, that seems pretty far-fetched,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03doesn't it? CHRISTIAN: Therein lies the problem
0:09:03 > 0:09:07because Donald Trump has not imposed the sanctions that Congress has put
0:09:07 > 0:09:12in place itself and if he's not going to do to protect American
0:09:12 > 0:09:17democracy, he's not going to do it for British democracy, I don't know.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20But certainly they will be Nato, battle with the next port of call.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Twice before they have enacted article five in recent years, one
0:09:24 > 0:09:27after 9/11 and one after the annexation of Crimea in Ukraine, so
0:09:27 > 0:09:30we will have to see what kind of action is taken.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Imagine you make a historic offer to sit
0:09:32 > 0:09:34down with a sworn enemy, your press goes wild,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36your opponents are worried, it's the headline on TV for hours
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and then you hear absolutely nothing back from your adversary.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Well, apparently that's the position the President Trump
0:09:41 > 0:09:46now finds himself in.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49KATTY: Last week, he said he'd sit down with Kim Jong-un
0:09:49 > 0:09:52and, since then, according to the US Secretary of State, there's been
0:09:52 > 0:09:53silence from Pyongyang.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Mr Tillerson also said no time nor location has been set.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Who knows?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00If it happens, if it doesn't happen...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I may leave fast or we make sit down and make the greatest deal
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I may leave fast or we may sit down and make the greatest deal
0:10:07 > 0:10:10for the world and for all of these countries, including,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11frankly, North Korea, that's what hope happens.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13frankly, North Korea, that's what I hope happens.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16For more on the potential talks, we are joined now by Joel Wit,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18a senior fellow at the US Korea Institute
0:10:18 > 0:10:19at Johns Hopkins University.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25Thank you for coming in, what is wrong with sitting down with Kim
0:10:25 > 0:10:32Jong-un, the things that America and the Western tribe the last 30 or 40
0:10:32 > 0:10:36years, maybe this would?I don't see anything wrong with sitting down
0:10:36 > 0:10:40with Kim Jong-un, particularly at this point of time and people forget
0:10:40 > 0:10:44that the past few months, we have been worried about a military
0:10:44 > 0:10:47conflict on the Korean calendula, so this is certainly a big change from
0:10:47 > 0:10:52that situation and I think we need to give it a shot -- peninsular.If
0:10:52 > 0:10:56there is a downside, it would presumably be the photo opportunity
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Kim Jong-un might the man standing next to Donald Trump would give his
0:11:00 > 0:11:04regime some kind of legitimacy?Of course, meeting with an American
0:11:04 > 0:11:08president is prestigious but at this point, I think we need to get beyond
0:11:08 > 0:11:12the optics and get down to the basics and the basics are that this
0:11:12 > 0:11:17is a very dangerous situation and a meeting between the two leaders, if
0:11:17 > 0:11:23handled properly, could result in a much different situation.President
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Trump has thrust himself into a fairly precarious diplomatic
0:11:26 > 0:11:29situation because of the negotiations were to fail, then that
0:11:29 > 0:11:36would leave both sides with no room for diplomacy.Well, you are
0:11:36 > 0:11:39absolutely right. Having a summit carries a lot of risks, so in the
0:11:39 > 0:11:46planning for the summit, the administration needs to be thinking
0:11:46 > 0:11:50of different scenarios and one of those is things don't work out
0:11:50 > 0:11:56exactly as it hopes, and so it needs to put in place a plan to continue
0:11:56 > 0:12:01to move forward to talk to North Korea, even some more, even if it is
0:12:01 > 0:12:13a failed summit.It is a unique opportunity and maybe Kim Jong-un is
0:12:13 > 0:12:17hoping that can be a pause in this and he can pick it up of the talks
0:12:17 > 0:12:20fail, do you think that is what is going on?Of course, the North
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Koreans have been planning for this for awhile and they have different
0:12:22 > 0:12:26options they will have laid out in the planning process and I am sure
0:12:26 > 0:12:30there is a plan never what happens if the summit fails and they can
0:12:30 > 0:12:35just keep moving forward with their programmes.If you had to stake your
0:12:35 > 0:12:42many years studying this issue and your sizeable retirement fortune on
0:12:42 > 0:12:45whether Kim Jong-un is entirely bluffing or whether this is a
0:12:45 > 0:12:50serious offer on his part, which way would you go?I think it's a serious
0:12:50 > 0:12:55offer. The North Koreans don't offer a meeting with their leader lightly,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and so I think they have thought about this a lot, they know what
0:12:58 > 0:13:02they want to get out of the summit. It may be different from what
0:13:02 > 0:13:06President Trump once.That would imply they are seriously prepared to
0:13:06 > 0:13:11give up their nuclear weapons.I think they are seriously prepared to
0:13:11 > 0:13:13consider a process of denuclearisation. That doesn't mean
0:13:13 > 0:13:20it's going to happen overnight. It will be an objective, long-term
0:13:20 > 0:13:21objective, of negotiations.Thank you very much for coming in.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23The British Parliament has a problem with bullying
0:13:23 > 0:13:24and sexual harassment.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And, too often, it is the complainant that is
0:13:27 > 0:13:30removed from their job, rather than the MP.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36Among those under scrutiny is the Speaker of the House, John Bercow.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37KATTY: His former private secretary, Kate Emms,
0:13:37 > 0:13:42told BBC Newsnight she had suffered bullying while working
0:13:42 > 0:13:44for the Speaker in 2011 and was signed off sick suffering
0:13:44 > 0:13:45from post-traumatic stress disorder.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Mr Bercow has refuted the accusation.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And more have come forward, with further allegations about other MPs.
0:13:53 > 0:14:00He sort of manoeuvred me out into the corridor and...
0:14:00 > 0:14:06..put his arms around me and...
0:14:06 > 0:14:11..kissed me on the lips and...
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I couldn't do anything about it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I couldn't force him off.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24I'd made a chocolate cake and I was kneeling, putting,
0:14:24 > 0:14:29you know, the rest of the icing on the cake and the MP in question,
0:14:29 > 0:14:34he came in and laughed and came and stood right over me,
0:14:34 > 0:14:42I remember it being very overbearingly close and him saying,
0:14:42 > 0:14:43"Right where you belong, on your knees with
0:14:43 > 0:14:51"a face full of chocolate."
0:14:51 > 0:14:57So following those allegations by Newsnight, the independent inquiry
0:14:57 > 0:15:00into the allegations of bullying against staff in the Houses of
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Parliament is set to go ahead. The leader of Parliament Andrea Leadsom
0:15:03 > 0:15:07said the issue should be investigated.I will propose that
0:15:07 > 0:15:11the inquiry should hear from past and current staff members about
0:15:11 > 0:15:14their experiences and help to provide them with closure wherever
0:15:14 > 0:15:19possible. I will also propose that it should take soundings from
0:15:19 > 0:15:23current and former house staff on whether the respect policy is fit
0:15:23 > 0:15:27for purpose and weather has staff would be better served by having
0:15:27 > 0:15:30access to the new independent complaints and grievance policy from
0:15:30 > 0:15:36day one. Mr Speaker, I am more determined than ever that we banish
0:15:36 > 0:15:41all kinds of harassment and bullying from this place because make no
0:15:41 > 0:15:47mistake, there is a need for change. Strong words from Andrea Leadsom,
0:15:47 > 0:15:53who was responding on the part of the Government.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58And earlier today, I asked her for her reaction
0:15:58 > 0:16:00And this is what she told me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Very importantly, at the heart of our investigations,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04was the need for confidentiality for the individual complainant and,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08so, of course, what we are seeking to achieve is for people to be able
0:16:08 > 0:16:10to come forward, not ending up splashed all over the newspapers,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13not ending up sort of being further bullied by people knowing that,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15oh, you've just made a complaint about someone,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19so confidentiality is absolutely key to giving people the confidence
0:16:19 > 0:16:29to be able to come forward knowing they will get a fair hearing
0:16:29 > 0:16:30but also really importantly with this Independent
0:16:30 > 0:16:32complaints procedure is there will be serious sanctions
0:16:32 > 0:16:35against anybody who is found guilty, ranging from sort of
0:16:35 > 0:16:36lower-level sanctions, apologies, training,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38etc, right up to dismissal, to the recall of MPs act
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and that is absolutely vital, so you got a whole process
0:16:41 > 0:16:43through that puts the complainant at the heart of it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48But just to be specific, if the allegations are upheld
0:16:48 > 0:16:50against the Speaker of the House John Bercow, should
0:16:50 > 0:16:52he be forced to go?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Well, we are working on implementing our proposal
0:16:54 > 0:16:56as soon as possible.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59We are hoping to have pretty much done it within three months from now
0:16:59 > 0:17:04and it will then be the case that somebody with a complaint against,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06whether it is a Member of Parliament, a peer,
0:17:06 > 0:17:11another member of house staff, a journalist, etc, who works
0:17:11 > 0:17:13on the Parliamentary estate, will be able to come forward and use
0:17:13 > 0:17:17that complaints procedure.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You're the Commons leader, responsible for arranging Government
0:17:19 > 0:17:21business in the House of Commons.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24There's a report in The Times today that this parliament is the most
0:17:24 > 0:17:27inactive for at least 20 years.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Well, I just don't see that at all, you know?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33At the moment, we have 16 bills before Parliament.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Six have already received Royal assent, we have a huge amount
0:17:35 > 0:17:38of legislation to get through, so there's all sorts of legislation
0:17:38 > 0:17:42that is coming forward at pace, more to do, and my job is to see it
0:17:42 > 0:17:49all through and make sure that it gets its final readings
0:17:49 > 0:17:50and its Royal assent.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It interesting you say that because the Times quotes
0:17:53 > 0:17:55an anonymous Tory MP who says, "They hang around saying everything
0:17:55 > 0:17:58"is going marvellously, but then we don't have the numbers
0:17:58 > 0:18:05"to vote on anything so we all hugger off home "early
0:18:05 > 0:18:08"to vote on anything so we all hugger off home early
0:18:08 > 0:18:10"and we come back tomorrow to do it all again."
0:18:10 > 0:18:11No, that is...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You know, we have taken our view on some Opposition Day motions
0:18:14 > 0:18:17that the Government chooses not to vote on those, but in terms
0:18:17 > 0:18:20of getting legislation through, we are taking all of our bills
0:18:20 > 0:18:22through at pace and of course when you are in a situation
0:18:22 > 0:18:25where you don't have a Government majority for every bit
0:18:25 > 0:18:27of legislation, you do need to consult very carefully
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and in detail with members right across the house
0:18:29 > 0:18:32to make sure that we take into account their views and address
0:18:32 > 0:18:33all of their concerns.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Very quickly on Brexit, the European Council president
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Donald Tusk and the French finance minister who was here last
0:18:40 > 0:18:44week were pretty blunt, where they come about when it comes
0:18:44 > 0:18:47week were pretty blunt, weren't they, about when it comes
0:18:47 > 0:18:49to financial services and the city and I know you are very
0:18:49 > 0:18:51interested in the city, financial services won't be
0:18:51 > 0:18:53part of a future deal.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56So my own view on that is UK financial services is the world
0:18:56 > 0:18:57leading financial services Centre.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59The United Kingdom is second to New York and the other
0:18:59 > 0:19:01competitors are Singapore and Hong Kong.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05You know, the European Union needs access to UK financial services,
0:19:05 > 0:19:13the whole sector employs around two million people
0:19:13 > 0:19:15in the United Kingdom, ranging from Edinburgh
0:19:15 > 0:19:16to Birmingham to Bournemouth,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18as well as of course the City of London.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22It's a massive sector and whilst it will be great if we can get a free
0:19:22 > 0:19:23trade deal that includes financial services, nevertheless,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26the sector will thrive and survive extremely well once we leave
0:19:26 > 0:19:29the EU in 2019.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Well, they did talk about fisheries, the coastal communities here are
0:19:33 > 0:19:38worried you are going to sell them out for financial services.That is
0:19:38 > 0:19:42absolutely not the case, there will be huge opportunities for UK fishing
0:19:42 > 0:19:45communities to rebuild, to have a more thriving fishing community that
0:19:45 > 0:19:50we used to have before we joined the European Union. Definitely fisheries
0:19:50 > 0:19:53has been an area that has suffered as a result of our membership and I
0:19:53 > 0:19:59look forward to being able to take back control and be a coastal state
0:19:59 > 0:20:06once again, to decide on access in our own fishing waters and that's
0:20:06 > 0:20:09going to be a huge advantage of leaving the European Union.Andrea
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Leadsom. Christian, you have far too much fun reading the quote from the
0:20:12 > 0:20:17times, it was written all over your face. Seriously, on Andrea Leadsom,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I have no doubt that both she and Theresa May are concerned about the
0:20:20 > 0:20:23issue of bullying and harassment in Westminster but how urgently do you
0:20:23 > 0:20:29think they are taking this? I didn't detect in her answers to you really
0:20:29 > 0:20:33forceful sense of urgency that this has to right now.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37CHRISTIAN: I think she has done a lot of work on it, actually, but one
0:20:37 > 0:20:40of the problems in Westminster at the moment is that those clerks and
0:20:40 > 0:20:45staff that are employed by Parliament, under a different union
0:20:45 > 0:20:47and are not covered by some of the reforms she has pushed through for
0:20:47 > 0:20:52those staff who work for MPs and she has been saying we need one uniform
0:20:52 > 0:20:55system across Westminster that defends all people, because at the
0:20:55 > 0:20:59moment, as we said in the introduction, there is a feeling
0:20:59 > 0:21:03that it into the complainant that is forced out of a job and push towards
0:21:03 > 0:21:07another job. KATTY: So how long before this
0:21:07 > 0:21:10investigation produces results and the system changes?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14CHRISTIAN: The interesting thing will be, given the numbers in
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Parliament, whether implications here, if it is proven, and let's
0:21:17 > 0:21:22reiterate the fact that John Bercow has denied the accusations against
0:21:22 > 0:21:25him, but if it is proven, would he be forced to stand down? That I
0:21:25 > 0:21:31suppose will be the test of the new legislation. There are other MPs
0:21:31 > 0:21:37facing allegations. We will have to see if it has teeth but a house that
0:21:37 > 0:21:39is so finely balanced, the last thing they want is the Speaker being
0:21:39 > 0:21:42removed from his job. Let's have a look at news from
0:21:42 > 0:21:43around the world.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47In Nepal, at least 49 people have been killed in a plane
0:21:47 > 0:21:47crash in the capital, Kathmandu.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The aircraft, belonging to a private Bangladeshi carrier,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51careered off the runway at the international airport
0:21:51 > 0:21:52and burst into flames.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54There were 71 people on board - 20 were rescued.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Top-flight football matches are suspended in Greece,
0:21:56 > 0:22:03after an armed football club owner stormed the pitch.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Ivan Savvidis, the owner of POEK Salonika,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07was wearing a gun while running onto the field in protest,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10to confront a referee who disallowed a last-minute goal.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Prosecutors are demanding the owner's arrest.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Hubert de Givenchy, the French fashion designer famous
0:22:17 > 0:22:21for the "little black dress", has died at the age of 91.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Givenchy styled the likes of Audrey Hepburn
0:22:23 > 0:22:24and Jackie Kennedy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27His creations were also popular with the British Royal Family
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and American socialites.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32His partner says he died in his sleep on Saturday.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38The EU Parliament is debating how an aide
0:22:38 > 0:22:40to the European Commission President was suddenly and quietly
0:22:40 > 0:22:43promoted to one of the most senior jobs in the EU civil service.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45At a meeting in February, Martin Selmayr was appointed
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Deputy Secretary-General of the Commission
0:22:46 > 0:22:52and moments later, he was made Secretary-General.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00We don't shy away on this programme from the tough questions,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02however much we offend one side of the argument.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05But sometimes whether its the Trump presidency or Brexit,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08But sometimes whether it's the Trump presidency or Brexit,
0:23:08 > 0:23:09beliefs are bound so tightly with identity,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11there is precious little room for compromise.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15And so it is with this story.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17CHRISTIAN: Cream teas.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21The scone, the jam, the cream.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23In what order should they go?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26The National Trust, namely the Lanhydrock
0:23:26 > 0:23:29country house in Bodmin, has run a publicity
0:23:29 > 0:23:34campaign in which the scone was photographed like this.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Sacrilegious.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42With the jam on top of the cream!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And for those of you who don't know - that is how the arch-enemy
0:23:45 > 0:23:47does it in Devon, across the border,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48across the Taymar.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53In Cornwall, they do it the right way -
0:23:53 > 0:24:00So what they do is they get the scone, they put the jam on liberally
0:24:00 > 0:24:05like this and they smear it around and then... I can't believe we've
0:24:05 > 0:24:10got spray on cream, seriously, the budget, where is the clotted cream?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You can take the boy out of Burnley, honestly.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18KATTY: I am just worried about your type.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22CHRISTIAN: That is the way they do it and so infuriated with people in
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Cornwall... Which camera are you one? I got overtaken with the green
0:24:27 > 0:24:31tea. So infuriated with people in Cornwall, they started cancelling
0:24:31 > 0:24:34their subscription to National Trust.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39KATTY: I completely agree, there are some things people can have
0:24:39 > 0:24:42difference of opinion about and we should respect their opinions... I
0:24:42 > 0:24:46can't believe you are eating. People who put the cream on the scone first
0:24:46 > 0:24:50are wrong, it is not a question of whether there is room for
0:24:50 > 0:24:54negotiation, they are wrong, right? Finally, you and I have something we
0:24:54 > 0:24:58can agree about. CHRISTIAN: Quit while we are ahead,
0:24:58 > 0:25:04is that the only thing we agree on, whether it is jam cream?
0:25:04 > 0:25:09KATTY: Christian grew up in the north, I grew up in the Middle East,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11we are clearly the best people in the world to consult about cream
0:25:11 > 0:25:17teas from the south-west. CHRISTIAN: We do vanilla slices,
0:25:17 > 0:25:23they will never let me back into Devon. Anyway...
0:25:23 > 0:25:29This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and BBC World News...
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Finish your scone! Unfair and unjustified is how the EU describes
0:25:39 > 0:25:45President Trump's proposed tariffs on steel and aluminium. How will
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Europe respond? And why this fly on the wall documentary looking deep
0:25:49 > 0:25:52inside an American police Department is featuring at a human rights film
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Festival. That is all still to come. Give me five minutes and I will
0:25:55 > 0:25:57finish these.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Good evening. Tomorrow is going to be much drier day across the UK. It
0:26:13 > 0:26:17has been quite a poor one today across the bulk of England and
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Wales, this weather watcher picture from east Sussex being fairly
0:26:20 > 0:26:24typical. Lots of cloud around, some bands of rain and all wrapped around
0:26:24 > 0:26:28an area of low pressure that is drifting its way slowly eastwards
0:26:28 > 0:26:32across England and Wales and as it pushes away into the near continent,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36so we should see much drier weather returning overnight. Those downpours
0:26:36 > 0:26:47lasting longest across East Anglia and the and out towards the west, we
0:26:47 > 0:26:50will see a finger of co-producing a few spots of rain here and there.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Clearer skies coming into Northern Ireland, temperatures down to two or
0:26:52 > 0:26:54three degrees and elsewhere could turn a bit misty and murky. That
0:26:54 > 0:26:57will lived in the morning and we will see sunshine developing in more
0:26:57 > 0:27:00areas, not just Northern Ireland but also Western Scotland, across Wales
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and the western side of England as the cloudy air drifts towards the
0:27:04 > 0:27:08eastern side of the UK and there may be one of two light showers but in
0:27:08 > 0:27:12the most part, it will be drier than today and temperatures perhaps a
0:27:12 > 0:27:18degree or so higher, ten or 11 being typical. There is milder air on the
0:27:18 > 0:27:22whether the middle part of the week. We have a low pressure area, a big
0:27:22 > 0:27:25one, sitting out to the west of the UK and it will push these bands of
0:27:25 > 0:27:29cloud and rain towards our shores but at the same time, ahead of that,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33we are drawing in our air from Iberia, milder air but to achieve
0:27:33 > 0:27:37some decent temperatures, we need some sunshine. Out towards the west,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40it will be cloudy and windy with gales around the coast and we could
0:27:40 > 0:27:45see this rain coming into Western areas later on. For many, it will be
0:27:45 > 0:27:49a dry day, still quite windy and a little sunshine coming through, so
0:27:49 > 0:27:54temperatures as high as 13 or 14. Some sunshine in the south-east
0:27:54 > 0:27:59where we import some drier air, 50 not out of the question and feeling
0:27:59 > 0:28:05more like spring. Roll things on a few days towards the weekend, it
0:28:05 > 0:28:08will feel very different, five the maximum temperature and it will feel
0:28:08 > 0:28:11a little more like winter. We have these bands of rain coming in around
0:28:11 > 0:28:15that area of low pressure, weakening as they move across the UK but high
0:28:15 > 0:28:18pressure will become more dominant and that will mean that we draw in
0:28:18 > 0:28:22an easterly wind by the time we get into the weekend, so that easterly
0:28:22 > 0:28:26wind is going to be a strong one and it will feel colder and there will
0:28:26 > 0:28:29be some snow showers, chiefly in the east.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13This is Beyond 100 Days, with me, Katty Kay, in Washington -
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Christian Fraser's in London.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Our top stories:
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Theresa May summons the Russian Ambassador
0:30:17 > 0:30:20to explain who was responsible for the poisoning of the former spy
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Segei Skripal and his daughter.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Allegations of bullying and sexual harrassment
0:30:24 > 0:30:26within Westminster - the Leader of the House tells
0:30:26 > 0:30:29us what she is doing to protect clerks and staff.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Coming up in the next half hour -
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Donald Trump rows back his commitment to gun controls
0:30:34 > 0:30:37and says there's not much political support for doing anything big.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Sparks aren't flying yet but the EU Ambassador to Washington
0:30:40 > 0:30:43tells me Europe's ready to respond to President Trump's proposed steel
0:30:43 > 0:30:51and aluminium tariffs.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55If tariffs are imposed on European exports, then indeed we will have to
0:30:55 > 0:30:57protect the interests of our industry in the way that we best see
0:30:57 > 0:30:59fit.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag
0:31:02 > 0:31:03#Beyond100Days.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09#Beyond100Days.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Well, when it comes to guns, Donald Trump
0:31:10 > 0:31:12holds flexible positions.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Whether you see this as pragmatic or unprincipled
0:31:14 > 0:31:18probably reflects your view of this unconventional president.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Mr Trump is now no longer pushing to raise the age
0:31:21 > 0:31:24limit on gun sales in the US - an idea he championed
0:31:24 > 0:31:30after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Now, the White House has this watered-down plan to
0:31:32 > 0:31:36fund programmes to train school staff to use firearms,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38encourage military veterans and retired police officers
0:31:38 > 0:31:40to become teachers,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44and improve background and mental health checks.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Ron Christie - former advisor to president George W Bush
0:31:46 > 0:31:53- is with us now.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57President Trump made a big thing about how you shouldn't be afraid of
0:31:57 > 0:32:01the NRA, then it seems to me he met the NRA and now he is wrote back his
0:32:01 > 0:32:06proposals. Where does he stand on guns?I think President Trump is or
0:32:06 > 0:32:10he believes in the right of the second Amendment but he really
0:32:10 > 0:32:15wanted to get this increase in age from 18 to 21, white? I was on the
0:32:15 > 0:32:19phone with senior officials on the White House and they say President
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Trump wants to be seen as active and vigorous in doing something, but he
0:32:23 > 0:32:26doesn't want to take on Republican supporters or the NRA, he thought
0:32:26 > 0:32:30this would be a losing issue for him.Hence the watered-down thing.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Stay with us, we will wanted to talk about someone else in a second. --
0:32:36 > 0:32:39talk about something else.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42It's one of the states that helped deliver the White House
0:32:42 > 0:32:44for Donald Trump, but, right now, a bitter congressional fight
0:32:44 > 0:32:45is underway in Pennsylvania.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47A special election will be held on Tuesday
0:32:47 > 0:32:48and the polls are razor tight.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Democrats are hoping it will be the beginning of a blue wave
0:32:51 > 0:32:53that will create momentum for November's midterm elections.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55But Republicans are fighting to keep the seat.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00The BBC's Mat Morrison went to hear from the voters.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Hi, Doug, would you mind if I could sign in your garden?It's not even
0:33:04 > 0:33:07close to November but you wouldn't know it in his Pennsylvania
0:33:07 > 0:33:15district. Campaigning is in full. As President Trump is just the latest
0:33:15 > 0:33:20to add his star power to the race. The world is watching. They are all
0:33:20 > 0:33:25watching. Because I won this district by 22 points. It's a lot.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31That is why I'm here. The get all those Red Hat 's! -- look at all
0:33:31 > 0:33:39those Red Hats.Meanwhile at the Democratic Rally... Go out and make
0:33:39 > 0:33:43sure he wins. Former vice president and Pennsylvania native was trying
0:33:43 > 0:33:50to rally his troops.I love what he said, it is what everyone here
0:33:50 > 0:33:54feels.Vice President Biden speaks to the working class in this region,
0:33:54 > 0:33:59it is a blue-collar region and he's a blue-collar guy.In the final days
0:33:59 > 0:34:05of the race, the polls point to a toss-up between the Republican and
0:34:05 > 0:34:13Democrat. Canavan is 33, which in itself is a surprise -- and the 33
0:34:13 > 0:34:19rolled. The toss-up is itself surprise.There is a single issue,
0:34:19 > 0:34:25which is President Trump. If you are dissatisfied with the course of an
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Sturgeon that you taking this country -- and direction that he's
0:34:28 > 0:34:30taking this country and, this is your chance to stand up and say
0:34:30 > 0:34:35something about that.The eyes of the world are on this race. The eyes
0:34:35 > 0:34:40of the nation are up on this race because people do see this as a
0:34:40 > 0:34:44referendum on Donald Trump. Is he doing a good job? And I hope and
0:34:44 > 0:34:50pray that the voters realise it isn't about one seat. It's about the
0:34:50 > 0:34:55ways for the whole mid-term election.This is the first
0:34:55 > 0:34:59congressional race since the school shooting, but surprisingly, gun
0:34:59 > 0:35:03control is not a driving factor. Neither candidate supports measures
0:35:03 > 0:35:07like banning assault rifles. And it's the Democratic candidate who
0:35:07 > 0:35:15even played up his pro-gun credentials.Spent four years in the
0:35:15 > 0:35:21Marines and still love to shoot.He teaches self defence classes outside
0:35:21 > 0:35:26a pet bird and is also a cop. -- this man teaches self defence
0:35:26 > 0:35:32crosses.We get a lot of people who are scared bare-bones will be taken
0:35:32 > 0:35:38away, oh, I have this mother Monica I'd better buy a gun before the
0:35:38 > 0:35:46politicians take them away.It is more about the economy. And whoever
0:35:46 > 0:35:53wins will be seen as a harbinger of things to come.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Wrong, how significant would it be if the Democrats win this seat that
0:35:57 > 0:36:01trumpeted by 20 points, you said 20 do, it is actually 20?It will be a
0:36:01 > 0:36:05huge referendum on the president and his administration. He has made this
0:36:05 > 0:36:09race about Donald Trump. We saw him on Saturday campaigning vigorously,
0:36:09 > 0:36:16speaking about his accomplishments. If this Republican goes down in at
0:36:16 > 0:36:19strong Republican district, this is an early referendum on Donald Trump.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24This is a campaign style rally in Pennsylvania, I wanted to ask you
0:36:24 > 0:36:28about this, at one point Donald Trump said this about regular
0:36:28 > 0:36:33presidents. Take a listen.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I'm very presidential.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight.
0:36:38 > 0:36:44Rick Saccone will be a great, great congressman.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46He will help me very much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:55He's a fine man.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00You work for former President, what do you think?I think the club is
0:37:00 > 0:37:06having the time of his life. Some of the restricted staff put on have
0:37:06 > 0:37:09been taken away committee is having a good old time. I wonder if his 44
0:37:09 > 0:37:11predecessors in office would have had the same view and the same
0:37:11 > 0:37:19reaction that he did.He is having fun at the moment, last week, he was
0:37:19 > 0:37:24his own chief of staff, his chief strategist, I don't know how the
0:37:24 > 0:37:29keeping up with him, maybe they've just thrown up their hands in the
0:37:29 > 0:37:32air.Is on the phone with the White House this morning and they say, we
0:37:32 > 0:37:36refer you to the President'stweet you may have seen, and I'm like,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39don't we have a communications office, a press office, a normal
0:37:39 > 0:37:43White House hierarchic was Mike know, we have Donald Trump as my
0:37:43 > 0:37:49Twitter that they are trying to keep track of and it is unbelievable to
0:37:49 > 0:37:55watch him on and our buyer basis.I want to get your thoughts are more
0:37:55 > 0:38:00serious note. The press secretary was speaking in the last few minutes
0:38:00 > 0:38:04and she has called the poisoning in Britain and outrage and said this,
0:38:04 > 0:38:09the United States would continue to stand side by side with Britain. The
0:38:09 > 0:38:14point we were making before you arrived was, how are they going to
0:38:14 > 0:38:16stand side by side with Britain? President Trump, of course, has not
0:38:16 > 0:38:22permitted the sections that Congress had already passed. -- implemented
0:38:22 > 0:38:29the sanctions.Of course, implications of Russia will turn the
0:38:29 > 0:38:34focus and attention on Trump. So Theresa May had a proper response
0:38:34 > 0:38:37earlier today, giving Russia the chance to own up to this or not, but
0:38:37 > 0:38:41whatever it is that the UK decides to do, I think Donald Trump needs to
0:38:41 > 0:38:44be forceful and stand side by side with her but it only underlines and
0:38:44 > 0:38:48underscores as I said a second ago the fact that Donald Trump and his
0:38:48 > 0:38:51inability to impose sanctions on Russia was authorised on expediency
0:38:51 > 0:38:55than it was to do the best thing for the US.Clearly what the UK would
0:38:55 > 0:39:00like to do is make this an international issue, possibly even
0:39:00 > 0:39:05invoking Nato, for some kind of response. But given that President
0:39:05 > 0:39:10Trump finds it so difficult to criticise President Putin and
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Russia, comedy really see this White House is standing by the UK and
0:39:13 > 0:39:17responding to Russia in a forceful way? -- do you really see?I think
0:39:17 > 0:39:22they will say, but actions speak louder than words, and with Putin,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26the one thing he understands his action and we have not seen Donald
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Trump do anything against Martin repeated at this point and I don't
0:39:28 > 0:39:41think this will be the case.-- againstVladimir Britain.
0:39:41 > 0:39:51The EU are not happy about Donald Trump's plan to impose luncheon on
0:39:51 > 0:39:53steel -- Caris on steel and aluminium. He responded...
0:40:02 > 0:40:05And just a brief time ago, I spoke with the David O'Sullivan -
0:40:05 > 0:40:10the EU's Ambassador to the US, who joined us from Austin, Texas.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Ambassador, the EU Trade Commissioner has said
0:40:11 > 0:40:13that the European Union is going to stand up
0:40:13 > 0:40:16to trade bullies.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Is the Trump administration becoming a trade bully?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I think we have a disagreement with this administration
0:40:21 > 0:40:24over the issue of steel and aluminium tariffs.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27We think the proposed imposition of those tariffs on European company
0:40:27 > 0:40:32is unfair and not justified.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35And if the tariffs are eventually impose, we will react
0:40:35 > 0:40:37as we feel appropriate.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39We hope that this will not happen, there's a possibility
0:40:39 > 0:40:42of an exception for certain countries and that's
0:40:42 > 0:40:44the channel we're going to work in the immediate future.
0:40:44 > 0:40:51Right, but the European Union has not been mentioned necessarily
0:40:51 > 0:40:53in those exemptions.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56In fact, the president on Saturday and again this morning tweeted
0:40:56 > 0:40:58in ways that made it sound like he was not happy
0:40:58 > 0:41:01with the European Union, he says the European Union has large
0:41:01 > 0:41:03tariffs and barriers against the United States.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05If you don't get an exemption, will the EU retaliate
0:41:05 > 0:41:08against American products?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10If the proposed steel and aluminium tariffs are imposed
0:41:10 > 0:41:14on European exports, then yes, we will use our rights
0:41:14 > 0:41:18under the World Trade Organisation to impose rebalancing tariffs
0:41:18 > 0:41:26on American exports.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28We hope that won't be the case.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I know that the president has made some critical remarks
0:41:31 > 0:41:34about the European Union.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36We don't share the President's perspective.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41I don't think it's fair to characterise the European Union
0:41:41 > 0:41:43as protectionist or posing barriers to American exports.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45We are one of the largest trading economies in the world
0:41:45 > 0:41:48and we are one of the most open and we trade enormously
0:41:48 > 0:41:49with the United States.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52But if that's a conversation that the president wants to have,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54I think he should hold it with European interlocutors,
0:41:54 > 0:42:00President Juncker of the European Commission,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03we can continue that conversation.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08But on the immediate issue of tariffs, we are pursuing
0:42:08 > 0:42:11the avenue of a possible exemption for the European Union.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Failing which, we will reserve rights under
0:42:12 > 0:42:13the World Trade Organisation.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Would the President's proposed measures against European steel
0:42:18 > 0:42:20and aluminium exports to America actually have a material impact
0:42:20 > 0:42:21on European producers?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I think Germany is only something like 3% of America's
0:42:24 > 0:42:25total imports of steel.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28We're actually the largest exporter of steel to the United States,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30the second-largest by volume and the largest by value.
0:42:30 > 0:42:38So total European Union exports of steel are quite important.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40The total value of those exports is around $8 billion.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43That's the value of the European exports which would be
0:42:43 > 0:42:45affected by these tariffs if they are imposed.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46So it's not an inconsiderable amount.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48So it would have an impact on European countries, then?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51It would very much have an impact on European companies
0:42:51 > 0:42:53and we of course feel obliged to protect their interests.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57I'm going through the list of things the EU has talked about in terms
0:42:57 > 0:42:58of retaliatory measures, bourbon from Kentucky,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Harley-Davidsons which come from Wisconsin, orange juice
0:43:01 > 0:43:04which comes from Florida, these are all very important states
0:43:04 > 0:43:05in American politics, as you know.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Is this a political gesture that the EU is proposing?
0:43:09 > 0:43:12The commission has proposed an indicative list, this has been
0:43:12 > 0:43:15discussed with the member states, and in choosing the products,
0:43:15 > 0:43:18of course you always look at those which will have the maximum
0:43:18 > 0:43:20impact in terms of the effect desired.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21So we will see...
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Impact politically, you mean?
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Also economically, because the desire is to send
0:43:28 > 0:43:30a message that the damage inflicted on European exports will be
0:43:30 > 0:43:36reciprocated in terms of having an impact on American exports.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I want to emphasise, though, that this is not where we want to be
0:43:39 > 0:43:41and we hope that we will not have to take this forward.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44If there is going to be a trade war, just to be clear,
0:43:45 > 0:43:47the European Union will fight back?
0:43:47 > 0:43:49I really don't think it would be right to characterise
0:43:49 > 0:43:53this as a trade war.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56We sincerely hope that it is possible to have a dialogue
0:43:56 > 0:43:58and to come out of this situation without tariffs being
0:43:58 > 0:44:00imposed on either side.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03That is our objective.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06If that is not the case and if tariffs are imposed
0:44:06 > 0:44:08on European exports, then indeed, we will have to protect
0:44:08 > 0:44:11the interests of our industry in the way that we best see fit.
0:44:12 > 0:44:13Thank you very much for joining me.
0:44:13 > 0:44:19You're very welcome, thank you.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24Pretty forthright on this, when it comes to retaliation. The big
0:44:24 > 0:44:30question is whether imposing tariffs on the guise of national security,
0:44:30 > 0:44:35whether that works or indeed whether Donald Trump wants to work with the
0:44:35 > 0:44:40WTO, he said to Congress, I don't believe the WTO is setup to deal
0:44:40 > 0:44:44with a country like China and industrial policy and they think
0:44:44 > 0:44:48they are biased against the United States.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50The president, all through his campaign and his presidency, has
0:44:50 > 0:44:56made it clear that he does not like big, multilateral deals will stop he
0:44:56 > 0:45:00prefers unilateral deals. He feels that America has got the bad end of
0:45:00 > 0:45:04the stick when it comes to lots of different countries and getting tied
0:45:04 > 0:45:08up in those WTO type deals. I suspect if he had a magic wand, he
0:45:08 > 0:45:13would love to which the WTO are and do things one on one, which he feels
0:45:13 > 0:45:19he can control it, he can either win for America anyway that he wants to.
0:45:19 > 0:45:26Let's see if the European Union gets some kind of... I wonder whether
0:45:26 > 0:45:29these tariffs haven't become part of a broader negotiating tactics rather
0:45:29 > 0:45:32than a clear set of punishments against specific countries, I think
0:45:32 > 0:45:35we will see a lot of wiggle room on these tariffs before they are
0:45:35 > 0:45:38announced. Let's have a look at some other
0:45:38 > 0:45:41news.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42The BBC has accused Iran of collectively
0:45:42 > 0:45:45punishing its Persian Service journalists for the work they do
0:45:45 > 0:45:46reporting on the country's affairs.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48The allegation was made as the BBC launched
0:45:48 > 0:45:50an unprecedented appeal to the UN Human Rights Council,
0:45:50 > 0:45:52demanding that its employees' rights be protected.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54More than 20 Persian Service staff and their families
0:45:54 > 0:45:55have had death threats.
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Iran has denied the allegations of harassment.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Five people have died after a helicopter crashed into
0:45:59 > 0:46:00New York's East River last night.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Amateur footage captured the moment the aircraft
0:46:02 > 0:46:03descended into the water.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Emergency services raced to the scene but only
0:46:05 > 0:46:07the pilot survived.
0:46:07 > 0:46:17It's understood the passengers were travelling to a photo shoot.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24The so-called book keeper of Auschwitz has died at the age of 96.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26He was responsible for counting belongings confiscated from
0:46:26 > 0:46:30prisoners. He was one of the last people to be convicted of crimes in
0:46:30 > 0:46:33the Nazi genocide. He was in hospital when he died and get to
0:46:33 > 0:46:37begin his sentence.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43The two leaders took a boat trip on the Ganges river,
0:46:43 > 0:46:46in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi on the last day of the French
0:46:46 > 0:46:47President's three-day state visit.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Earlier, they jointly opened and new solar power plant built
0:46:49 > 0:46:52by a French company.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54This is Beyond 100 Days.
0:46:54 > 0:47:01Still to come...
0:47:01 > 0:47:07Back-up. You ain't sending known to the hospital.The US police force is
0:47:07 > 0:47:12struggling to gain trust of the community, we speak to the
0:47:12 > 0:47:17film-makers who spent two years of the Oakland police force.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Sir Ken Dodd - one of the most popular
0:47:20 > 0:47:22entertainers of his time - has died at the age of 90.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26He was a man who brought happiness and tears of laughter to thousands
0:47:26 > 0:47:28of people with his legendary live performances during his career
0:47:28 > 0:47:29which spanned 63 years.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38David Sillito looks back at his colourful life.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40The tickling sticks, the wild hair and surreal flights
0:47:40 > 0:47:44of fancy were only a part of it.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Ken Dodd was a torrent of jokes.
0:47:47 > 0:47:53His shows would often end in the early hours of the morning.
0:47:53 > 0:47:59Geronimo!
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Offstage, he was very private, but one of his close
0:48:01 > 0:48:09circle of friends was his joke writer, John Martin.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12I always say writing jokes for Ken Dodd was
0:48:12 > 0:48:14almost like being asked to mix the paints for van Gogh,
0:48:14 > 0:48:19it was that big an honour.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20It's Doddy!
0:48:20 > 0:48:26How are you diddling?!
0:48:26 > 0:48:30Comedians have been lining up to pay tribute.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ken Dodd!
0:48:32 > 0:48:35When he walked on, the place used to go up and he hadn't
0:48:35 > 0:48:36even said anything!
0:48:36 > 0:48:39Now, that doesn't happen very often!
0:48:39 > 0:48:41How tickled we were!
0:48:41 > 0:48:44How tickled we are!
0:48:44 > 0:48:53He would fire the gags out at you!
0:48:53 > 0:48:56And was his partner of 40 years, they got married just three days
0:48:56 > 0:48:59ago.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02I've been overwhelmed by the love and affection which I've
0:49:02 > 0:49:03already received from dear friends and the public.
0:49:03 > 0:49:10And I thank you all for being here.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12He was one of the last links to music hall.
0:49:12 > 0:49:22Ken Dodd - it really is the end of an era.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30You're watching beyond 100 days.

0:49:38 > 0:49:39Rights Watch Film Festival in London, presents
0:49:39 > 0:49:41a fly-on-the-wall look deep inside the long-troubled
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Oakland Police Department as it struggles to confront
0:49:43 > 0:49:45federal demands for reform.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Let's take a look at a small highlight of the film,
0:49:47 > 0:49:51before we bring in the director, Peter Nicks.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54One police officer can affect the credibility
0:49:54 > 0:49:56of a department, of a city.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58One police officer.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01It can have an impact on this whole country.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05This police department has a history that we have to own up to.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08It's our legacy.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11I don't want bad cops, period.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14This is the fourth shooting in two months from the Oakland police
0:50:14 > 0:50:17department of black men.
0:50:17 > 0:50:24Don't nobody know the story.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28Oakland, California's police force is really...
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Officers allegedly engaging in sexual misconduct...
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Talk about a bombshell.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36As the Mayor of Oakland, I am here to run the police
0:50:36 > 0:50:38department, not a frat house.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40How can we stay in our houses?
0:50:40 > 0:50:42How can we stay safe?
0:50:42 > 0:50:45They covered up corruption.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Who you going to be?
0:50:47 > 0:50:52Are you going to be the cop that people talk about,
0:50:52 > 0:50:54the dirty cop that does things that he shouldn't do?
0:50:54 > 0:51:00What's your legacy going to be?
0:51:00 > 0:51:05We're joined now by The Force's director, Peter Nicks.
0:51:05 > 0:51:13Great to have you.Thanks for having me.It looks like a good watch. The
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Oakland police Department came famous on this side of the Atlantic
0:51:16 > 0:51:23after the murder, or the shooting, of Iman from Missouri who spawned
0:51:23 > 0:51:28the Barclays matter movement. Do you think in the time since then things
0:51:28 > 0:51:36have changed any? -- the shooting of a man which spawned the Black Lives
0:51:36 > 0:51:40Matter movement.I think the trust has been broken. If you go back to
0:51:40 > 0:51:44the origin of Black Panthers, that goes back to the Oakland police
0:51:44 > 0:51:50departments.In the 1960s.Yes. And the Black Lives Matter movement
0:51:50 > 0:51:53emerged from the Oakland police department, there is a deep distrust
0:51:53 > 0:51:57and I don't get will change overnight but this is a monumental
0:51:57 > 0:52:00turning point in that relationship. What it reveals from the little I've
0:52:00 > 0:52:05seen is the gulf between how the see themselves and how they are viewed
0:52:05 > 0:52:09by the public. -- how the policemen see themselves.That is the point of
0:52:09 > 0:52:12the perspective and part of the reason why we approached this only
0:52:12 > 0:52:16way we did, which is to going with an objective eye and say we want to
0:52:16 > 0:52:19bring the audience into the experience and perspective of both
0:52:19 > 0:52:23police and activists, or just the community, these are two sites that
0:52:23 > 0:52:28don't really share meaningful way there story of history and that
0:52:28 > 0:52:33creates that divide and makes it worse.Heater you have made... Yet
0:52:33 > 0:52:38made the film with a really concerted effort not to take sides
0:52:38 > 0:52:42in what is a very raw story here in the United States. But did you come
0:52:42 > 0:52:46to the conclusion after two years with the Oakland police department
0:52:46 > 0:52:52that this is an organisational issue or is this down to people and
0:52:52 > 0:52:55people, you know, not acting with the best interests of their
0:52:55 > 0:53:00communities at heart?The film is the second in a trilogy of films
0:53:00 > 0:53:04that we are making about this one community. With the examining the
0:53:04 > 0:53:08underpinnings of all the problems that press on the resources of
0:53:08 > 0:53:12public institutions, whether it is health care, our first film was
0:53:12 > 0:53:15about access to health care, criminal justice, education, look at
0:53:15 > 0:53:18the education system and the problems educators face in trying to
0:53:18 > 0:53:23bring people about of what was really a story or poverty. So the
0:53:23 > 0:53:29police, they confront the consequences of failed education
0:53:29 > 0:53:35policy, feel policies that really should support the community. If you
0:53:35 > 0:53:38take out all the bad apples in a department, and there is a
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Department of culture and the Department of problem that we are
0:53:41 > 0:53:46examining, you're still going to have those underlying problems. So
0:53:46 > 0:53:50the film is underlining couple of things, the need for oversight, we
0:53:50 > 0:53:55need oversight in these departments and do we need a new model for
0:53:55 > 0:54:00community safety? Do we need a new model for the underpinnings of
0:54:00 > 0:54:03community and democracy?You spent so much time with the police force,
0:54:03 > 0:54:06that is the one thing that perplexed me, given that they please force
0:54:06 > 0:54:11that is already under the spotlight and probably expecting the
0:54:11 > 0:54:14criticism, why would they go out and let your ride with the officers,
0:54:14 > 0:54:17sitting on the dispute, going to the meetings with senior officers and
0:54:17 > 0:54:21politicians? Why did they want that sort of exposure?I think they
0:54:21 > 0:54:24really felt they had a story to tell and one of the things I told them
0:54:24 > 0:54:28initially when we were kind to gain access, we have lots of meetings
0:54:28 > 0:54:31with city officials, the Mayor, the police chief, trying to articulate
0:54:31 > 0:54:35why you wanted to make this film. And we told them we can't control
0:54:35 > 0:54:39what happens. We are going to spend a good amount of time, not just
0:54:39 > 0:54:43parachute in and out. They felt they were making progress. And that story
0:54:43 > 0:54:47wasn't being told and they wanted that story to be told.We are almost
0:54:47 > 0:54:50out of time, good to have you in the studio. Where can we see the Foulds
0:54:50 > 0:54:55it is on a net flex and is in the human rights watch from Festival in
0:54:55 > 0:55:06London. -- it is on Netfli. -- Netflix.
0:55:06 > 0:55:07Edinburgh Zoo has suspended its giant
0:55:07 > 0:55:08panda breeding programme.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10The zoo says that Tian Tian and Yang Guang
0:55:10 > 0:55:12will not be bred this year.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Tian Tian has failed to produce a cub six times
0:55:14 > 0:55:18since moving to the Scottish zoo in 2011.
0:55:18 > 0:55:32It has bamboozled zookeepers. Netflix... -- Bamboo-zled...
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Zoo officials say they want to make enhancements to the giant
0:55:35 > 0:55:38panda enclosure before attempting future breeding.
0:55:38 > 0:55:45It I think there is pressure on expectant mothers...
0:55:45 > 0:55:49You've got it all wrong! The pressure is on the man in this
0:55:49 > 0:55:55relationship. This is a story about panda performance anxiety.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00Who knows? We will leave you with that thought. It will be back the
0:56:00 > 0:56:00same
