0:00:08 > 0:00:09You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12A significant moment in the Brexit negotiation.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14The UK and EU have agreed terms for a transition,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18pending a satisfactory divorce.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Under the terms of the deal Britain will be allowed to sign new trade
0:00:22 > 0:00:25deals with the rest of the world that will come into force in 2021.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28But here's the hitch - the two sides still have a lot
0:00:28 > 0:00:36of tricky issues to figure out, not least the Irish border question.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Businesses need not delay investment decisions all rushed through
0:00:39 > 0:00:44contingency plans based on guesses about the future deal. Instead, they
0:00:44 > 0:00:48now have certainty about the terms that will apply immediately after
0:00:48 > 0:00:50our withdrawal.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55How safe is our personal information on Facebook?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The company's share price falls on news millions of profiles
0:00:57 > 0:00:59being used for political purposes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Also on the programme:
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Donald Trump takes aim at Robert Mueller.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07At the moment it's just on Twitter but is the President loosing
0:01:07 > 0:01:10patience with the Prosecutor?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Uber suspends all tests of its driverless cars,

0:01:19 > 0:01:25Get in touch with us.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Hello and welcome - I'm Katty Kay in Washington
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and Christian Fraser is in London.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31British business are welcoming a moment of certainty
0:01:31 > 0:01:33in the otherwise uncertain Brexit negotiations.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Sterling rose today after the UK and the EU
0:01:35 > 0:01:45agreed a deal on the terms of the transition period.
0:01:45 > 0:01:45TRANSLATION:What we of the transition period.
0:01:45 > 0:01:45TRANSLATION:What we are of the transition period.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46TRANSLATION:What we are presenting of the transition period.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51TRANSLATION:What we are presenting to you today here with David is a
0:01:51 > 0:01:55legal text, a joint legal text, which constitutes in my mind a
0:01:55 > 0:02:02decisive step because we were able this morning to agree, and after all
0:02:02 > 0:02:08those days and nights of hard work, on a large part of what will make up
0:02:08 > 0:02:12an international agreement for the ordered withdrawal of the United
0:02:12 > 0:02:19Kingdom.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25In the colour-coded chart published by the two sides today,
0:02:25 > 0:02:3175% of the Withdrawal document is now in green,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34meaning "agreed in principle".
0:02:34 > 0:02:36That applies to the financial settlement -
0:02:36 > 0:02:40the divorce payment - and the rights of 4m citizens
0:02:40 > 0:02:43in the UK and the EU affected by Brexit.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Also in green, the terms of the transition.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46It will last until Dec 2020.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49During that time London will abide by EU rules but will lose any say
0:02:49 > 0:02:51in the decision making process.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52But the UK has got one concession.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It will be able to sign trade deals with other countries
0:02:55 > 0:02:57during the transition; although they'll only come
0:02:57 > 0:02:58into effect after the transition.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The UK won't have any say in EU rules during the transition
0:03:01 > 0:03:04but the two sides agreed a good faith clause, under which the UK
0:03:04 > 0:03:06will be consulted a range of issues.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Let's cross to Brussels and our Europe
0:03:08 > 0:03:09correspondent Damian Grammaticus.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So lots of green, Damian, but 25% of this document
0:03:12 > 0:03:15is in white, not agreed, and they represent some of the most
0:03:15 > 0:03:17difficult obstacles to overcome.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Yes, because the important thing to remember is that this is a
0:03:21 > 0:03:24conditional agreement and you were saying at the beginning businesses
0:03:24 > 0:03:28are welcoming certainty. There is a big question mark at the heart of
0:03:28 > 0:03:33that, so it's not really certain. And that is because of those white
0:03:33 > 0:03:38areas, as you say, and key to that is the issue about Ireland and the
0:03:38 > 0:03:43border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, still that
0:03:43 > 0:03:47question bedevilling the negotiations and how to avoid it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53The agreement today says that in the legal text there will be the EU's
0:03:53 > 0:03:57preferred or option that it has on the table at the minute, which is
0:03:57 > 0:04:03keeping Northern Ireland part of the UK still in the EU's Customs and
0:04:03 > 0:04:07regulatory sort of sphere, so there's no need for a border. That
0:04:07 > 0:04:11is meant to go into the deal and the agreement today says it will but
0:04:11 > 0:04:15that -- but that is still politically a very difficult thing
0:04:15 > 0:04:18for the UK Government, and if that falls apart this whole deal falls
0:04:18 > 0:04:24apart, so still that question to be resolved.So why should we have any
0:04:24 > 0:04:27more confidence that they can agree issues that seem impossible to agree
0:04:27 > 0:04:34on today after the magic date of March of next year, when we go into
0:04:34 > 0:04:39the transition period?Well, that's a good question. This issue of the
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Irish border has to be agreed before March next year and it has to be
0:04:42 > 0:04:47agreed in the coming six months or so, because it has to be in the
0:04:47 > 0:04:50withdrawal text. That's what the EU is saying at the minute. If it isn't
0:04:50 > 0:04:58in that text, then the EU has a huge stumbling block to get over. I think
0:04:58 > 0:05:02the positive thing to take from this is that the overall picture from the
0:05:02 > 0:05:07UK's point of view is that one year to go until transition, that is in
0:05:07 > 0:05:12just nine days, that is when the countdown starts, businesses have
0:05:12 > 0:05:16been sent to the UK Government, we need a year's notice of what will
0:05:16 > 0:05:23happen or we will start can -- triggering contingency plans, so
0:05:23 > 0:05:29that is where they need to get the agreement saying, yes, in principle
0:05:29 > 0:05:31a transition will happen as long as the other things can be agreed, but
0:05:31 > 0:05:35there are a lot of difficult things the UK has already agreed to and
0:05:35 > 0:05:40most of the EU's big demands, they UK being a payer and allowing free
0:05:40 > 0:05:44movement to continue for EU citizens, UK has signed up to all of
0:05:44 > 0:05:53those.Thank you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Let's speak now to Henry Newman, Director at Open Europe.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Baseball have to take a leap of faith that there will be a political
0:06:02 > 0:06:08leap of faith -- they still say they have to take a leap of faith. How
0:06:08 > 0:06:13much movement or they have?I think they have some movement. There was
0:06:13 > 0:06:19good achievement on both sides and now, I am assuming the European
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Council signs this off, they should have got agreement on the
0:06:23 > 0:06:27transition. That is what businesses have been asking for. This is a
0:06:27 > 0:06:30gentleman's agreement from the heads of government, if you like, that
0:06:30 > 0:06:34they will keep things exactly the same for the period of roughly 21
0:06:34 > 0:06:39months until the end of 2020, as though we were an EU member but
0:06:39 > 0:06:42without voting rights. It is possible things will fall apart in
0:06:42 > 0:06:45the later stages of the deal but I find that hard to imagine. This is
0:06:45 > 0:06:51now overwhelming like -- overwhelmingly likely that we will
0:06:51 > 0:06:58exit with this transition.It was said last week the idea that you put
0:06:58 > 0:07:03the order somewhere in the Irish Sea was not something that was possible.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06She would never get that through Parliament so you wonder why you
0:07:06 > 0:07:09would put in the document. Because if she brought that back the
0:07:09 > 0:07:13government would collapse and there would be no deal. It seems a bit of
0:07:13 > 0:07:17a moot point.What they have done rather cleverly is parked some of
0:07:17 > 0:07:20the most difficult issues, the governments of the trading agreement
0:07:20 > 0:07:24and the questions of the Irish border, until later in the
0:07:24 > 0:07:27negotiations. And that is good practice. You don't want to do with
0:07:27 > 0:07:34the most difficult issue in the beginning. Some of this comes down
0:07:34 > 0:07:36to the problem that the UK has agreed to things which are
0:07:36 > 0:07:39contradictory back in December. Both sides fudged the December text to
0:07:39 > 0:07:41make sure they could get over the line and we've seen more of that
0:07:41 > 0:07:45today. We don't know what the answer is Northern Ireland and Ireland and
0:07:45 > 0:07:48we will have to wait and see, so that's a key area where there will
0:07:48 > 0:07:54need to be lots of discussion. Henry, in any negotiation there is
0:07:54 > 0:07:59give and take. Who has taken more and has given more?Probably the UK
0:07:59 > 0:08:04has moved further but the EU has also moved. That's sensible because
0:08:04 > 0:08:08it is something primarily the UK was asking for. We could spend a lot of
0:08:08 > 0:08:12capital trying to design bespoke transition periods or we could focus
0:08:12 > 0:08:15the capital of working at the future agreement, so I think it was quite
0:08:15 > 0:08:19sensible for the UK to broadly accept the EU terms for the
0:08:19 > 0:08:27transition.Good to see you. Thank you for coming in.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Facebook's share price fell sharply today as the company came
0:08:29 > 0:08:31under scrutiny for failing to protect information on millions
0:08:31 > 0:08:34of American voters that may have been used to influence
0:08:34 > 0:08:35the 2016 election.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38A joint report by the New York Times and the Observer newspapers found
0:08:38 > 0:08:41that 50 million Facebook profiles were accessed, without
0:08:41 > 0:08:43users' knowledge, to help Donald Trump's campaign.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The data was used by the UK firm Cambridge Analytica
0:08:45 > 0:08:48to gain information about voters so they could be influenced
0:08:48 > 0:08:53to support the Trump campaign.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Alexander Nix, the chief executive of Cambridge Analytica,
0:08:57 > 0:09:05told BBC Newsnight the allegations were completely untrue.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10A lot of the allegations that have been put to Cambridge are entirely
0:09:10 > 0:09:13unfounded and unfair. We weren't involved with Brexit. We've been
0:09:13 > 0:09:19crystal clear about this. At every single opportunity. And at last we
0:09:19 > 0:09:24are beginning to see in the media reporting that reflects this. Only
0:09:24 > 0:09:27yesterday Aaron Banks came out with a statement for the first time
0:09:27 > 0:09:30clarifying we had absolutely no involvement. The Guardian, who's
0:09:30 > 0:09:34been propagating a lot of this misinformation or fake news, printed
0:09:34 > 0:09:38that, and two days ago another statement saying we weren't
0:09:38 > 0:09:43involved.Do you think The Guardian is in the business of fake news?I
0:09:43 > 0:09:50think that there has been some... Some fairly slipshod journalism in
0:09:50 > 0:09:54regards to our involvement in some of these things, where we presented
0:09:54 > 0:10:01unequivocally the fact of the matter to these newspapers and they've
0:10:01 > 0:10:06chosen to paint their own picture, which is now proving to be false.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13Plenty in the weekend newspapers about this. Cambridge analytical
0:10:13 > 0:10:18boasted had 4000-5000 datapoints on Americans who were voting but they
0:10:18 > 0:10:21did tell Facebook reportedly that they deleted the information they
0:10:21 > 0:10:25had harvested. Did they delete that information and have they been
0:10:25 > 0:10:29forthcoming and honest in these Parliamentary inquiries about the
0:10:29 > 0:10:32information they hold? That's speak to the chair of the Parliamentary
0:10:32 > 0:10:37committee in the UK, who is looking into this. You put out a statement
0:10:37 > 0:10:43last night saying you want Mark Zuckerberg to come back to really
0:10:43 > 0:10:47give evidence on what happened. Are you concerned that Facebook doesn't
0:10:47 > 0:10:52have control of what third parties are doing with its information?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55That's right, because they gave us assurances that they could track
0:10:55 > 0:10:58what people were doing with their data, that if somebody was breaching
0:10:58 > 0:11:01their rules they would get that data back and take action against the
0:11:01 > 0:11:07company that was doing that. And here we have a case with Cambridge
0:11:07 > 0:11:11analytical who knew there was an issue two years ago with data they
0:11:11 > 0:11:13had taken and that Facebook had asked them to destroy. They did
0:11:13 > 0:11:22nothing to check they had and they only suspended them when it was
0:11:22 > 0:11:26about to hit the newspapers. Facebook has been quite aggressive
0:11:26 > 0:11:30about this story. First they are saying there wasn't a breach because
0:11:30 > 0:11:33these user profiles were taken for academic purposes. Then they
0:11:33 > 0:11:39threatened to sue The Observer, they banned them from having a Facebook
0:11:39 > 0:11:44account. Do you think the Facebook response is in any way, and we have
0:11:44 > 0:11:49not hard from Mark Zuckerberg himself, is their response in any
0:11:49 > 0:11:54way adequate? -- heard from Mark Zuckerberg.No. It just shows you
0:11:54 > 0:11:57they can take down accounts really quickly when they have the grounds
0:11:57 > 0:12:01to do it so they are punishing the whistle-blower for bringing very
0:12:01 > 0:12:04important information into the public domain. They knew what was
0:12:04 > 0:12:08going on and they didn't act on it. They can call it what they want but
0:12:08 > 0:12:12as far as members of the public are concerned, an academic at Cambridge
0:12:12 > 0:12:17University managed to access data of 50 million Facebook users and
0:12:17 > 0:12:20themselves act to a commercial entity for them to use in their
0:12:20 > 0:12:27campaigns. I think that is a data breach and I think many will be
0:12:27 > 0:12:29concerned about actually how much data Facebook has on them and that
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Facebook cannot keep it safe.What about the chief executive? Keeper
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Parliament last month his company had never obtained or used Facebook
0:12:36 > 0:12:42data. Now we know they did and they did not delete face -- they did not
0:12:42 > 0:12:46delete the data they told Facebook they had.Exactly. We asked him
0:12:46 > 0:12:52whether he had acquired data directly and he said they hadn't.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56And that's why we want him to come back and explain to Parliament his
0:12:56 > 0:13:00answers, because I don't think his answers are in any way consistent
0:13:00 > 0:13:05with what we now know and therefore if Parliament and the committee
0:13:05 > 0:13:09believe we have been misled, we will report back to the Committee on
0:13:09 > 0:13:16Standards here in Parliament.It is not entirely clear what you or US
0:13:16 > 0:13:20investigators can do about Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg but billions of
0:13:20 > 0:13:24our viewers around the world have Facebook accounts. What would you
0:13:24 > 0:13:28say to those viewers?I think they should speak up and let Facebook
0:13:28 > 0:13:32know how angry they are. I think it's terrible that Mark Zuckerberg
0:13:32 > 0:13:35or an equally senior person in the company is not prepared to answer
0:13:35 > 0:13:40questions to discuss these concerns. Ultimately this is about data
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Facebook others on its users and how it sells that data to advertisers
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and whether it can keep it safe. This is fundamental to the way
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Facebook work some people have a right to know if their data is being
0:13:51 > 0:13:55used properly. There is a bigger concern is well about the way in
0:13:55 > 0:14:00which consumer data gathered through surveys on consumer issues is being
0:14:00 > 0:14:03used in political campaigns, when nobody really gave their consent for
0:14:03 > 0:14:12that to take place. But in terms of what we can do, we can hold
0:14:12 > 0:14:14inquiries to take people to account but we have also been debating in
0:14:14 > 0:14:17the House of Commons today whether the government could change the law
0:14:17 > 0:14:19to give the Information Commissioner even more powers for tech companies
0:14:19 > 0:14:22not to disclose data to a request for in that nation to make sure data
0:14:22 > 0:14:28laws are properly being adhered to. -- request for information. On the
0:14:28 > 0:14:32whole we have to take it on trust that the big tech companies are
0:14:32 > 0:14:34abiding by the data protection laws that exist in our country and other
0:14:34 > 0:14:38countries and I think we need the right to go behind the curtain and
0:14:38 > 0:14:42see for ourselves that is the case. I can understand why that shouldn't
0:14:42 > 0:14:45be Parliament but an independent investigator could do that.Thank
0:14:45 > 0:14:58you. I didn't understand until this morning the fact that American to
0:14:58 > 0:15:01have their data held on harvested might have stronger legal grounds
0:15:01 > 0:15:06here in the UK because the information was stored in the UK, so
0:15:06 > 0:15:09there are Americans now making representations over here, and
0:15:09 > 0:15:13apparently, according to the America I saw this morning, he said the
0:15:13 > 0:15:17safeguards here in the UK are much stronger than the United States, so
0:15:17 > 0:15:21they are more confident in the system here in the UK. I think the
0:15:21 > 0:15:26question will be a commercial one. There has been so much bad publicity
0:15:26 > 0:15:29surrounding the story on Facebook and so much pressure on Facebook's
0:15:29 > 0:15:32executives to come forward and explain how they have this
0:15:32 > 0:15:37information and did nothing about it, because we saw the share price
0:15:37 > 0:15:41falling by something like 7%. If all of those people with accounts start
0:15:41 > 0:15:45speaking up about this and protesting, I would suspect you
0:15:45 > 0:15:50would see Facebook moving a bit more quickly. Do you know how much Mark
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Zuckerberg loss today in one-day? According to that share for? More
0:15:54 > 0:16:00than you or I will ever have in our lives! $5 billion! Talking, by the
0:16:00 > 0:16:09way, of big Internet companies who have not had a good day, one of
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Uber's vehicles, self driving vehicles, has hit and killed a woman
0:16:13 > 0:16:17in Arizona. The car was an autonomous mode with an operator
0:16:17 > 0:16:22behind the wheel when the woman was struck. Uber has not confirmed the
0:16:22 > 0:16:25vehicle within autonomous mode but it does say it is suspending self
0:16:25 > 0:16:30driving car tests in all cities. I think people will pay a lot of
0:16:30 > 0:16:34attention to this, don't you?I think so. We chatted about this
0:16:34 > 0:16:38earlier and you said you think the technology is already there but I
0:16:38 > 0:16:43suppose the point is that you have an incident there will be a public
0:16:43 > 0:16:47inquiry and people will have less confidence in it. And when I sort of
0:16:47 > 0:16:51reflect on whether I would be happy to get into one of these cars, how
0:16:51 > 0:16:56long would it take you as a driver to actually let go of the wheel to
0:16:56 > 0:16:59put your faith in the car and trust in the system? I think that's the
0:16:59 > 0:17:03problem a lot of people will have, particularly when they see a story
0:17:03 > 0:17:08like this.Look at those pictures. That is just brutal. The poor woman
0:17:08 > 0:17:12on her bicycle who was knocked over by this driverless car. People I
0:17:12 > 0:17:17speak to in the tech world say that technology is there, you are right,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and ultimately these cars will be safer than those driven by people
0:17:20 > 0:17:24because robots don't drink and they are. Texting and driving and they
0:17:24 > 0:17:27don't get distracted, they don't speed, they know what they are
0:17:27 > 0:17:32doing, but the human appetite for trusting driverless cars is still
0:17:32 > 0:17:38something like 5-10 years off, and it would take me something a very
0:17:38 > 0:17:43long time -- it would take somebody like me a very long time to trust a
0:17:43 > 0:17:48driverless car. That sets that public confidence.But we don't know
0:17:48 > 0:17:54who was to blame there. It just takes me back to that incident
0:17:54 > 0:17:58involving a driver being killed and it became clear after the
0:17:58 > 0:18:02investigation he had ignored six audible warnings and seven visual
0:18:02 > 0:18:06warnings on his dashboard.I think he was watching Harry Potter, wasn't
0:18:06 > 0:18:12he?That's it. You hear the story but not the follow-up.OK, American
0:18:12 > 0:18:22politics.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34On Saturday, Donald Trump said there was no collusion and no crime and
0:18:34 > 0:18:39the probe should not have been trusted. This is the first time Mr
0:18:39 > 0:18:46Trump mentioned him by name, and then again today came a total
0:18:46 > 0:18:51witchhunt.For the most part there has been a deafening silence from
0:18:51 > 0:18:55the Republican Party protest at the President's attacks on the
0:18:55 > 0:18:57investigation but a couple of Republican leaders were prompted to
0:18:57 > 0:19:03speak out on TV this weekend.If you look at the jurisdiction, first and
0:19:03 > 0:19:08foremost, what did Russia do to this country in 2016? That is supremely
0:19:08 > 0:19:12important and it has nothing to do with collusion. So to suggest that
0:19:12 > 0:19:18mullah should shut down and all he is looking at is collusion, if you
0:19:18 > 0:19:24have an innocent client, act like it.Are you worried that the
0:19:24 > 0:19:27president is ordering the fire of him? It looks like that from his
0:19:27 > 0:19:35tweets.That would be the beginning and end of his presidency because...
0:19:35 > 0:19:39We are joined by Ron Christie from New York, who used to working the
0:19:39 > 0:19:46Bush administration. -- Ron Christie in New York. What would the steps be
0:19:46 > 0:19:51word Donald Trump to decide to act on what his tweet seemed to be
0:19:51 > 0:20:06suggesting he would like to do and shut down the Russia probe?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10It would be very simple, actually. He would be within his legal
0:20:10 > 0:20:16authority to fire him if he thought it the appropriate action to do so.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21But all that does, as we've seen, is bring very bad press and attention
0:20:21 > 0:20:25to the president, so while it is within his legal rights to do so, we
0:20:25 > 0:20:30have heard so many people talk about a constitutional crisis, I think the
0:20:30 > 0:20:33president would have more people against him in his own party than he
0:20:33 > 0:20:38would be -- than would be supportive.We played a couple there
0:20:38 > 0:20:41but so far, the Republican Party has been pretty forgiving of Donald
0:20:41 > 0:20:47Trump. Do you think this would be the straw that would break the
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Repubblica... On getting lost in that one! With this be a bridge too
0:20:50 > 0:20:58far?It would be a bridge too far. What little audience I have on
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Twitter, I've taken to Twitter myself this weekend and have said
0:21:01 > 0:21:05the president is not acting presidential. It's an honour for him
0:21:05 > 0:21:09to hold that office and he demeaned by some of his tweets and outlandish
0:21:09 > 0:21:14comments that he makes. Let the special counsel do its work. If your
0:21:14 > 0:21:18client is innocent and they have nothing to find, then let the
0:21:18 > 0:21:22investigation go. And you heard one of the current members of Congress
0:21:22 > 0:21:27say, stop acting guilty, Mr President.Aside from the fact that
0:21:27 > 0:21:32there would be all these repercussions if he sacked Mueller,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35the important point, and that what his lawyers keep saying to him, is
0:21:35 > 0:21:41the obstruction of a non-crime is a crime, and that is the real danger.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46It's good to see you, Christian. Obstruction of justice here with
0:21:46 > 0:21:49United States is a very simple crime to prove. What you're looking at
0:21:49 > 0:21:54here is, has an individual taken steps to a legal proceeding? To
0:21:54 > 0:21:59impede an investigation? And one could certainly make the argument
0:21:59 > 0:22:02that, yes, the president is well within his legal power to dismiss
0:22:02 > 0:22:07the special counsel but it does bring into question, is that
0:22:07 > 0:22:10obstructing an investigation? That is certainly not a road he wants to
0:22:10 > 0:22:15go down. It's a bridge too far. The question remains, what does Mr Trump
0:22:15 > 0:22:20thing and will he act on it?I know you've got your into the ground.
0:22:20 > 0:22:29What is going on? He's got rid of Gary Coen, among others. He has an
0:22:29 > 0:22:31ambiguous relationship with his chief of staff. These are the people
0:22:31 > 0:22:36who rent him in. The shackles off now and is this real Trump we're
0:22:36 > 0:22:44starting to see? -- these are the people who rein him in.I can tell
0:22:44 > 0:22:47you the times I've been in the White House, I wouldn't call it disarray
0:22:47 > 0:22:51but it's certainly been very chaotic. The president likes chaos
0:22:51 > 0:22:55and pitting his staff against each other, and what you've seen, the
0:22:55 > 0:22:59so-called adult supervision the president has, those figures are
0:22:59 > 0:23:02largely gone. He likes these folks being at each other's throats and
0:23:02 > 0:23:07running around because that's how he's always operated. The question
0:23:07 > 0:23:09is, it might be good for the president but is it good for our
0:23:09 > 0:23:16country? And of course it is not. I'm not sure it is for us either
0:23:16 > 0:23:18because it's exhausting. He has often a real spin because there is
0:23:18 > 0:23:23so much news! Thank you for joining us. This is
0:23:23 > 0:23:27interesting - the idea of the president being unshackled. Because
0:23:27 > 0:23:32he is also facing the weight of the Mueller investigation. His business
0:23:32 > 0:23:36has been subpoenaed for business documents. And I wonder where -- I
0:23:36 > 0:23:39wonder whether the two aren't related. He feels he can do things
0:23:39 > 0:23:44the way he wants to do. He fired people and the markets didn't crash.
0:23:44 > 0:23:51He lodged a trade war and the markets didn't crash. He had Korean
0:23:51 > 0:23:56trade talks and everything was fine. And he's saying, hey, I could fire
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Bob Mueller and everything will be fine.Yes, maybe. He's got a year
0:24:01 > 0:24:05into the job and thinks he can do it his own way. Maybe he doesn't
0:24:05 > 0:24:12believe the accounts of those closest to him. Anyway, we will
0:24:12 > 0:24:15watch this with interest.Anyway, over to my favourite story of the
0:24:15 > 0:24:22day. Andy Murray getting woken up by the comedian Michael McIntyre. The
0:24:22 > 0:24:28rude awakening was in aid of Sports Relief. Let's have a look at the

0:26:15 > 0:26:21Good evening. It is the Equinox and after a weekend of heavy snowfall,
0:26:21 > 0:26:29no signs of spring out there. -- sums lines -- some signs of spring.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Temperatures are on the rise for the rest of this week as the wind goes
0:26:32 > 0:26:37from an easterly direction to a more westerly one. Still north-easterly
0:26:37 > 0:26:40wind across the country and that's going to fade. More cloud across
0:26:40 > 0:26:43England and Wales overnight and that means the temperatures will be up
0:26:43 > 0:26:47and down a bit. Clearer skies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and
0:26:47 > 0:26:52temperatures will drop the furthest here. Glasgow down to -6 and some
0:26:52 > 0:26:58places -7 or minus eight. Occasional cloud breaks with a frost across
0:26:58 > 0:27:01England and Wales. But signs of change and that's because high
0:27:01 > 0:27:06pressure to the north of us is drifting southwards, and that will
0:27:06 > 0:27:11allow wind coming off the Atlantic. Not for England and Wales to begin
0:27:11 > 0:27:15with. A brisk wind coming in for the north-east. But temperatures up on
0:27:15 > 0:27:20what we have seen. -- from the north-east. The odd spot of light
0:27:20 > 0:27:26rain and sleet but most staying dry. Cloud increases into the north-west
0:27:26 > 0:27:31later but temperatures way up on what we've seen recently. Back up to
0:27:31 > 0:27:36nine or ten in one or two spots. High pressure continues to drift
0:27:36 > 0:27:40down towards the south-west, the Atlantic air will gradually flood
0:27:40 > 0:27:47in. That process starts in earnest on Wednesday. A brighter day over
0:27:47 > 0:27:51England and Wales but westerly winds for Ireland and Northern Ireland.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Occasional rain and drizzle further west, the odd shower further north,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00but temperatures climbing. Aberdeenshire, 11 or 12. And a few
0:28:00 > 0:28:03spots in England and Wales getting closer to double figures. That
0:28:03 > 0:28:09continues into Thursday. At the same time, the Atlantic weather front
0:28:09 > 0:28:16will be gathering towards the West so the cloud thickening up and some
0:28:16 > 0:28:20rain into the West of Northern Ireland. A dry day on Thursday,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24increasing cloud with the best of the breaks in Eastern counties. It
0:28:24 > 0:28:29could hit 13 degrees in parts of Aberdeenshire on Thursday. 12 or 13.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Also possible across parts of the south-east, spring will be with us.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02to the village of Durrington.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Here, officers examined and then removed a car that was used to pick
0:32:06 > 0:32:09up Yulia Skripal from the airport the day before she and her father,
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Sergei, were attacked with nerve agent.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Nearby, at the military research complex of Porton Down,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15inspectors from the global chemical weapons watchdog the OPCW were due
0:32:15 > 0:32:18to start analysing the nerve agent that British experts believe came
0:32:18 > 0:32:20from Russia, a process that officials say could take some weeks.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23In Brussels, the Foreign Secretary was talking to Nato and European
0:32:23 > 0:32:25allies, trying to maintain the diplomatic pressure on Russia -
0:32:25 > 0:32:27looking not just for statements of support,
0:32:27 > 0:32:28but tangible, joined-up action.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30There are things we can and must do together,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33tackling disinformation from Russia, and the UK has been helping to fund
0:32:33 > 0:32:34that at an EU level.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Tackling cyber together.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43We stand in solidarity with the United Kingdom.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Earlier, EU foreign ministers gathered to discuss the attack
0:32:55 > 0:32:57and issued a joint statement expressing unqualified
0:32:57 > 0:33:00solidarity with the UK, saying they took its assessment that
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Russia was to blame extremely seriously.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04What is absolutely clear is that solidarity with the United Kingdom
0:33:04 > 0:33:06and our extreme concern about what has happened,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10that is really unacceptable.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11But in Moscow, the defiance continued.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14As President Putin began his fourth term of office, his spokesman said
0:33:14 > 0:33:17the UK must prove Russia's role in the poisoning of Mr
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Skripal or apologise.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21As for Russia's diplomats in London, well, some of these officials
0:33:21 > 0:33:23and their families will be heading home tomorrow - 23 in all,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26with a similar number of British diplomats leaving Moscow shortly.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Tomorrow, the National Security Council will meet to decide
0:33:28 > 0:33:34Britain's next steps and there is a live debate
0:33:34 > 0:33:38within government - should they retaliate and escalate,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41or simply do nothing?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Should they kick more Russian diplomats out of the Embassy
0:33:44 > 0:33:46here or should they find new ways of penalising Russia?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48The question is, what further diplomatic price
0:33:48 > 0:33:49is the Government prepared to pay?

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Global reaction to Vladimir Putin's re-election tells you a lot
0:34:01 > 0:34:03about the state of the world today.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05The President's victory in this weekend's poll prompted effusive
0:34:05 > 0:34:08praise from among others China, Venezuela and Cuba and a rather
0:34:08 > 0:34:13frosty response from the West.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Election monitoring groups pointed to a lack of real choice
0:34:16 > 0:34:19in the election in which Mr Putin won three quarters of the vote.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20The main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21was barred from standing.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27There have also been accounts of ballot stuffing and forced voting.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29For more we are joined now by Angela Stent,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31an expert in Russian politics who teaches at
0:34:31 > 0:34:36Georgetown University.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41I want to get to the real election of President Putin in a second but
0:34:41 > 0:34:45first the spy story in the UK and the latest developments. It doesn't
0:34:45 > 0:34:50look like the Russian government has any intention of giving anything on
0:34:50 > 0:34:56this one.Of course not, they never do, they didn't do it with Alexander
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Litvinenko and they won't now. That's how they respond to these
0:34:59 > 0:35:04things, with denial, which makes it more difficult to hold people to
0:35:04 > 0:35:08account.You have written recently that institutions in Russia have
0:35:08 > 0:35:12rarely been as insignificant as they are today over the course of the
0:35:12 > 0:35:17last 100 years. Does that mean Vladimir Putin is therefore much
0:35:17 > 0:35:21more powerful?Certainly at the moment. He appears to be very
0:35:21 > 0:35:29powerful now. He has just won 76% of the vote and even if there was some
0:35:29 > 0:35:33cheating he's definitely popular. But I think going forward we will
0:35:33 > 0:35:38have to see whether this is indeed his last term, you start to get
0:35:38 > 0:35:41people manoeuvring for succession, you start to get people questioning
0:35:41 > 0:35:46what's happening but right now and I would say that the next year or two
0:35:46 > 0:35:52he will be very powerful.I want to pick up on that because their risk
0:35:52 > 0:35:56term limit in Russia, and by the end of this he will have served 24
0:35:56 > 0:36:02years. Will his priority shift because of that jostling for power?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06His priority should shift to economic reform, to strengthening
0:36:06 > 0:36:11the economy, and to make sure people's standard of living don't
0:36:11 > 0:36:15fall and people around him don't start grumbling more. It's not clear
0:36:15 > 0:36:20who really will do anything. The other possibility is more assertive
0:36:20 > 0:36:25foreign policy. Going back to the pre-election speech he made, it had
0:36:25 > 0:36:30two parts to it, one was economic reform and the other was showing off
0:36:30 > 0:36:34nuclear weapons and basically telling the United States, we can
0:36:34 > 0:36:42evade any weapons you have and don't mess with us.But I wonder if
0:36:42 > 0:36:45history and his worldview ensures that he really does like the way
0:36:45 > 0:36:52things are drifting at the moment, going back to a Cold War and nearer
0:36:52 > 0:36:56really where Russia and the Soviet bloc was all powerful. If you think
0:36:56 > 0:37:02back to where he was as an FSB agent, there was chaos. There was
0:37:02 > 0:37:06not a strong economy although there was more democracy.His goal has
0:37:06 > 0:37:10been to get the outside world to treat Russia as if it were the
0:37:10 > 0:37:16Soviet Union, a great superpower, people should respect and fear it,
0:37:16 > 0:37:21and is on his way to achieving that despite an economy that is not
0:37:21 > 0:37:25functioning that well, despite crumbling infrastructure and bad
0:37:25 > 0:37:30demographics. He has been able to project Russian power into its
0:37:30 > 0:37:34neighbourhood and beyond.So to what extent does interfering in elections
0:37:34 > 0:37:40around the world, in the west in particular, and the spy story in the
0:37:40 > 0:37:45UK constitute part of Vladimir Putin's C?It will be part of his
0:37:45 > 0:37:49legacy because it is exacerbating the polarisation that exists in the
0:37:49 > 0:37:56west, making people question their own societies. This will be part of
0:37:56 > 0:38:01his legacy, then deploying these tactics, poisoning, and these tough
0:38:01 > 0:38:06tactics which were deployed in the Soviet times too, but with greater
0:38:06 > 0:38:15intensity now.Thank you for coming in. Angela Merkel has been in Poland
0:38:15 > 0:38:25today.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33and top of her agenda
0:38:33 > 0:38:36was North Stream two - the gas pipeline that would ship
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Russian gas to Germany.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Mrs Merkel's government has given it the green light -
0:38:39 > 0:38:41but Poland is urging Western sanctions be imposed on it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45It's not the only topic that the two countries fail to see eye to eye on.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Berlin is less than impressed with Warsaw's sweeping judicial reforms.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49 Poland's Minister of Investment
0:38:49 > 0:38:50and Economic Development and is in London
0:38:50 > 0:38:51today to talk trade.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55We spoke to him a little earlier and I asked him for Poland's
0:38:55 > 0:38:57response to the alleged Russian poisoning of a former
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Russian Spy here in the UK and whether he believed the EU
0:39:00 > 0:39:02was ready to take strong action?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05The United Kingdom can count on Polish support and I think not only
0:39:05 > 0:39:08the Government but especially European Society and the media
0:39:08 > 0:39:13should say very clearly what do they think about actions like that
0:39:13 > 0:39:19because that was not only be action against the former spy but it was
0:39:19 > 0:39:27also the action against his family up against common citizens who
0:39:27 > 0:39:32unfortunately suffered from that.I know that Poland is supporting --
0:39:32 > 0:39:37has supported in the past British sanctions on Russia, and Angela
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Merkel is in Warsaw today talking about the gas pipeline that will
0:39:40 > 0:39:46bring gas from Russia into Europe. I know this is something you seek as a
0:39:46 > 0:39:52potential for sanctions, if Russia were to continue misbehaving.For us
0:39:52 > 0:39:56it's important the dialogue between Poland and Germany continues, and at
0:39:56 > 0:40:04a very high level. At the level of our Prime ministers. But you're
0:40:04 > 0:40:11right, north stream two is something we do not accept at all in Poland
0:40:11 > 0:40:19and we do not concede that commercial economic undertaking.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24That is an investment which could monopolise the transfer of gas from
0:40:24 > 0:40:32Russia to Europe. We think that it could make not only Poland but
0:40:32 > 0:40:44especially Ukraine in a very, very comfortable situation.I wanted to
0:40:44 > 0:40:45ask, the German government spokesperson ahead of Angela
0:40:45 > 0:40:50Merkel's visit today said European Democrats must stand together
0:40:50 > 0:40:59against Trump and Putin. Is that how you see it from Poland's point of
0:40:59 > 0:41:05view?The United States are very close ally of Poland. You know,
0:41:05 > 0:41:12these days. We received strong support from Nato especially on our
0:41:12 > 0:41:18eastern border, and that was extremely important for us that we
0:41:18 > 0:41:24have got now the Nato troops led by American soldiers of Poland. We have
0:41:24 > 0:41:32very good relations in the area of defence cooperation and now we want
0:41:32 > 0:41:38to foster our economic relations with the United States. So I think
0:41:38 > 0:41:45that comparison of Trump and Putin is not really relevant.I must ask
0:41:45 > 0:41:49you finally about the relationship between Britain and Poland, 1
0:41:49 > 0:41:52million Polish people live in the UK, you must be encouraged by the
0:41:52 > 0:41:57agreement signed in Brussels today that will assure their rights post
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Brexit.It is very good news for both Polish citizens in the UK but
0:42:01 > 0:42:10also British citizens.Do you think Brexit deal can be done?Yes, I'm
0:42:10 > 0:42:14much more optimistic after the end of the last year, when the
0:42:14 > 0:42:20compromise was made and also by today's agreement, so I'm much more
0:42:20 > 0:42:28optimistic than I was a year ago.A significant moment. Minister, thank
0:42:28 > 0:42:30you for coming.My pleasure.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Today President Trump rolled out his long awaited plan to tackle
0:42:33 > 0:42:34the nation's growing opioid crises.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Drug overdoses have become leading cause of death for Americans
0:42:37 > 0:42:39under the age of 50, a problem fuelled by
0:42:39 > 0:42:40a spike in opioids.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42The President said that drug companies must be held accountable
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and added there would be stiffer penalties for high
0:42:44 > 0:42:49intensity drug traffickers.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53We can have all of the blue riband committees we want but if we don't
0:42:53 > 0:42:59get tough on the drug dealers, we are wasting our time, just remember
0:42:59 > 0:43:03that, we are wasting our time. That toughness includes the death
0:43:03 > 0:43:10penalty.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Well it is not just first responders and treatment centres
0:43:14 > 0:43:16which are being taxed by the opioid crisis,
0:43:16 > 0:43:17the nation's criminal
0:43:17 > 0:43:19justice system is also struggling to keep up.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21In Buffalo, New York they are trying an innovative approach
0:43:21 > 0:43:24which could prove a model for the rest of the nation.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26The BBC's Nada Tawfik has gone to see the country's first
0:43:26 > 0:43:31opioid court in action.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34This unremarkable courtroom in New York might be America's best new
0:43:34 > 0:43:41defence against its deadliest drug crisis. The goal here in the nation
0:43:41 > 0:43:47's first opioid court is basic yet ambitious, to keep people alive.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51When offenders who appear in court are addicts, the judge immediately
0:43:51 > 0:43:56puts their case on hold.I'm going to release you today but I need you
0:43:56 > 0:43:59to report here tomorrow so we can go over everything about your
0:43:59 > 0:44:06treatment.No longer viewed as criminals, they are given help and
0:44:06 > 0:44:14have a chance to get their sentence reduced.We are not going to make
0:44:14 > 0:44:18the same mistake as we did in the 1990s because we have the research
0:44:18 > 0:44:22and data to show you cannot lock up an addiction is the second they walk
0:44:22 > 0:44:30out of jail they will have the same need for that substance.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Participants are given treatment within hours. They agreed to drug
0:44:34 > 0:44:39tests, a curfew and daily court appearances. The judge knows often
0:44:39 > 0:44:42this court can be the only support system some people have, so having
0:44:42 > 0:44:48them checked in daily and trying to form a personal bond is a way to
0:44:48 > 0:44:53keep them on track. Carly has been clean for two months since starting
0:44:53 > 0:44:58the programme. She was arrested for drug possession and says she has
0:44:58 > 0:45:07used prescription pills and heroin for over a decade. In one week alone
0:45:07 > 0:45:15she was arrived -- revived three times after overdoses.You are a dog
0:45:15 > 0:45:21to drug dealers, you don't have any self-worth at all so when somebody
0:45:21 > 0:45:24looks at you and actually cares about what you are going through in
0:45:24 > 0:45:30your life, what your problems are, how we can help, it reminds you that
0:45:30 > 0:45:33deep inside there is a person that needs and deserves love.Carly is
0:45:33 > 0:45:37trying to develop a plan for the day she no longer has to check in with
0:45:37 > 0:45:42the courts. She hopes to have a career in criminal justice, just
0:45:42 > 0:45:49like judge Hannah, himself a recovering addict.The only
0:45:49 > 0:45:51difference between me and individuals you saw today is time.
0:45:51 > 0:45:58Once they have spent enough time is clean as I have, they can accomplish
0:45:58 > 0:46:04anything in life.In Buffalo they already think it is a success, the
0:46:04 > 0:46:06number of overdose deaths has significantly increased and that has
0:46:06 > 0:46:13other cities taking notice. This is such a huge problem in the
0:46:13 > 0:46:17United States, but that proposition of giving the death penalty to some
0:46:17 > 0:46:18drug traffickers will be controversial.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22This is Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25Still to come - the actress Cynthia Nixon announces her
0:46:25 > 0:46:29candidacy for governor of New York.
0:46:29 > 0:46:33Recognise her?
0:46:33 > 0:46:36The TV presenter, Ant McPartlin, says he will seek further treatment
0:46:36 > 0:46:38after he was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41He was detained yesterday afternoon following a collision involving
0:46:41 > 0:46:44three cars in south west London.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46ITV says his Saturday night programme broadcast with his partner
0:46:46 > 0:46:52Declan Donnelly will not be broadcast this weekend.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55Mr McPartlin spent time in rehab last year and will take time off
0:46:55 > 0:46:57for the foreseeable future according to his publicist.
0:46:57 > 0:47:06Lizo Mzimba has more.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Moments after the Mini he was driving was involved
0:47:08 > 0:47:11in a collision with two cars, Ant McPartlin at the
0:47:11 > 0:47:15scene of the crash.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17When police arrived, he was taken away under arrest,
0:47:17 > 0:47:25after failing a breath test.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28A number of people were treated for minor injuries and a child
0:47:28 > 0:47:29passenger taken to hospital for a precautionary checkup.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31The evening before, Ant McPartlin had presented ITV's
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Saturday Night Takeaway.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36He returned to TV last year, after going into rehab
0:47:36 > 0:47:42visitation to treat addiction to alcohol and painkillers.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46This afternoon, the broadcaster said...
0:47:59 > 0:48:01From Britain's Got Talent through to I'm A Celebrity,
0:48:01 > 0:48:05so much of ITV's output is built on Ant McPartlin, as well as his
0:48:05 > 0:48:11co-host, Declan Donnelly.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15They will be trying to work out what all this will mean
0:48:15 > 0:48:17for the long-term future of one of its biggest stars.
0:48:17 > 0:48:24Police say inquiries into the collision are continuing.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28ITV said they hoped the presenter will get the help he needs, police
0:48:28 > 0:48:34say inquiries are continuing.
0:48:46 > 0:48:47Here is a strange, alarming story.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Police in Austin, Texas, are warning of a new bomb
0:48:50 > 0:48:51threat after the city
0:48:51 > 0:48:53was hit by a fourth explosion in just one month.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Two people were injured by a device that may have been
0:48:56 > 0:48:57triggered by a trip wire.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59The previous bombs were stuffed inside packages and left
0:48:59 > 0:49:00on residents' doorsteps.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Authorities have little understanding of who could be
0:49:02 > 0:49:04setting off these devices and why.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Police gave this update earlier today.
0:49:07 > 0:49:12We are clearly dealing with what we expect to be a serial bomber at this
0:49:12 > 0:49:16point based on the similarities between now what is the fourth
0:49:16 > 0:49:20device and again as we look at this individual and the pattern, and what
0:49:20 > 0:49:24we are looking at here, we will have to determine whether we see a
0:49:24 > 0:49:28specific ideology behind this or something that will lead us to make
0:49:28 > 0:49:34that decision along with our federal partners.Two people died in the
0:49:34 > 0:49:36previous attacks.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38For the latest we can speak to our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue
0:49:38 > 0:49:40who joins us from Austin.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45What more do the police know about this?They don't know a great deal
0:49:45 > 0:49:49and I think that was pretty clear from what they said this morning.
0:49:49 > 0:49:54They don't have a suspect, they are following up a few final leads but
0:49:54 > 0:49:59they haven't lighted on any person or more importantly perhaps any
0:49:59 > 0:50:04motive. There was speculation after the first three bombings that seemed
0:50:04 > 0:50:11to target black people and someone from an Hispanic background as well,
0:50:11 > 0:50:18but last night's attack here was indiscriminate. It actually affected
0:50:18 > 0:50:21two young white men but it was a trip wire so it could have affected
0:50:21 > 0:50:26anyone including children as the police pointed out this morning.
0:50:26 > 0:50:31They sound pretty baffled. They are offering not just money for advice
0:50:31 > 0:50:36and information about who might be doing this, $115,000, but they are
0:50:36 > 0:50:42also trying to reach out to the bomber himself or themselves to say,
0:50:42 > 0:50:47look, we can listen to you and take on board what you want to say. But
0:50:47 > 0:50:53they don't know if this is a hate crime or domestic terrorism case or
0:50:53 > 0:50:58any of the other possibilities. Thank you, Gary
0:50:58 > 0:51:02any of the other possibilities. Thank you, Gary.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04What's the last thing you did on the internet?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Did it involve handing over great dollops of private
0:51:06 > 0:51:07information about yourself?
0:51:07 > 0:51:10It is something most of us do everyday, as we 'share',
0:51:10 > 0:51:12'post', 'like', 'tweet'.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14But how much time do we spend thinking about where all that
0:51:14 > 0:51:15information ends up?
0:51:15 > 0:51:17The allegations surrounding the use of personal Facebook data
0:51:17 > 0:51:20by Cambridge Analytica offers another reminder of how much we've
0:51:20 > 0:51:21all been willing to hand over.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22So should we be concerned?
0:51:22 > 0:51:25We're joined in the studio now by Julia Hobsbawm author
0:51:25 > 0:51:33of 'Fully Connected: Social Health in an Age of Overload'.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38We talk about this a lot on this programme, about how we are deluged
0:51:38 > 0:51:42by social media and things on the internet, so we are really to blame,
0:51:42 > 0:51:52aren't we?We are, yes. I like the Freudian slip of overlord, it is
0:51:52 > 0:51:56actually overload. But we have reached the point where we feel out
0:51:56 > 0:52:02of control and yet we have given the control away. Research has shown
0:52:02 > 0:52:07that less than one in 1000 people ever read the small print. How many
0:52:07 > 0:52:16times have you clicked, yes yes yes, sign me up. It's a great story, a
0:52:16 > 0:52:20fantastic piece of investigative reporting, but I think there is
0:52:20 > 0:52:29another story behind it which is that we, the public, that down --
0:52:29 > 0:52:37download apps, we know they give data away. It is a well stated
0:52:37 > 0:52:40precondition very often so my point about this story is of course we
0:52:40 > 0:52:45should be up in arms about not knowing that Facebook has lost
0:52:45 > 0:52:55control of its data but data loss of control is everywhere. That's why
0:52:55 > 0:53:00the GDPR is coming in in Europe.We will talk about that in a second but
0:53:00 > 0:53:07I want to talk about a tweet from Ian, says funny how everyone is in
0:53:07 > 0:53:15uproar about data issues but people use chrome, android, nobody ever
0:53:15 > 0:53:18complains about those companies so they have been harvesting
0:53:18 > 0:53:25information for years.They do, there is an enormous tech lash, it
0:53:25 > 0:53:29is just that Facebook is getting it in the neck now. The truth is we are
0:53:29 > 0:53:33all waking up to something we have slightly brought upon ourselves
0:53:33 > 0:53:37which is for free social media for the last ten years, we have given
0:53:37 > 0:53:45away our privacy and our data. That is now being harvested, terrible
0:53:45 > 0:53:52word to use really, it is being harvested and sold. We have a choice
0:53:52 > 0:53:57in society, what are we going to do about that and I believe we have to
0:53:57 > 0:54:02take our social health, our behaviours around how we connect as
0:54:02 > 0:54:07seriously as we take our physical and mental health.I totally agree,
0:54:07 > 0:54:17I thought Christian was doing one of his terrible puns with overlord!
0:54:17 > 0:54:22This hasn't been around for long, so we as a species have to get smarter
0:54:22 > 0:54:26about the way we use the internet and social media. What will it take
0:54:26 > 0:54:31to trigger the learning process and the revolution where we say that is
0:54:31 > 0:54:34enough?You are completely right it is down to the human and not the
0:54:34 > 0:54:41machine. A bit like you see people in the gym and they are reading but
0:54:41 > 0:54:46not really engaging, we have got to engage with what we are doing online
0:54:46 > 0:54:51and on the internet. Our data goes somewhere. Unless we obsessively set
0:54:51 > 0:54:58high privacy settings, and even if we do, there is a back door. Back in
0:54:58 > 0:55:061999 and very prominent net person said there is zero privacy, get over
0:55:06 > 0:55:12it. So the choice is do you want to be online, in which case why because
0:55:12 > 0:55:18really about 20% of our time is now lost, and if you do, what are you
0:55:18 > 0:55:23sharing and why. So we have to take responsibility.Yulia, we have to
0:55:23 > 0:55:31leave it there. Very quickly before we go, here is a blast from the
0:55:31 > 0:55:34past.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36The actress Cynthia Nixon has announced her
0:55:36 > 0:55:38candidacy for governor of New York.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Ms Nixon - who's most famous for playing
0:55:40 > 0:55:43the character of Miranda in Sex and the City - will challenge Andrew
0:55:43 > 0:55:47Cuomo for the Democratic nomination.
0:55:47 > 0:56:00Who else do we know who did this? Was he a success?
