You're watching Beyond 100 Days. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Facebook's share price continues
to slide after revelations | 0:00:12 | 0:00:22 | |
revelations of a data breach. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
The UK authorities are seeking
a warrant to search the offices | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
of the British firm that harvested
Facebook data. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Everybody wants to speak
to Mark Zuckerberg. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
There are plenty of questions,
so why is he not appearing publicly | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
to give us the answers? | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
President Trump calls
Vladimir Putin to congratulate him | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
on his re-election and says the two
leaders could meet soon. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
We will, er, probably get together
in the not-too-distant | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
future, so that we can
discuss, er, arms. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
We can discuss the arms race. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |

Hello and welcome. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
I'm Katty Kay, in New York. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
And Christian Fraser is in London. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
From Berlin to Washington to London,
politicians are expressing serious | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
concern about Facebook and its lax
approach to users' data. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
Facebook's share price fell again
today, under mounting | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
scrutiny of its role
in recent election campaigns. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
The UK's Information Commissioner
is applying for a warrant to search | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
the offices of the London-based
political consulting firm | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Cambridge Analytica -
which is accused of harvesting | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
the personal data of 50
million Facebook members, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
to influence the US presidential
election in 2016. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
Here's our business
editor, Simon Jack. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
In the information age,
personal data is the new currency, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
and we spend it liberally
on social media platforms. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:20 | |
How old we are, whether we
are in a relationship, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
what our political leanings are -
this could be gathered and used. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Cambridge Analytica is a company
which does exactly that, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
and it's at the centre of a storm
that has rocked some of the biggest | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
companies in the world. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
It started with an app,
which invited Facebook users | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
to do a personality test. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
270,000 downloaded it. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
It collected personal information
on them, their friends, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
their friends' friends,
and so on, until it had info | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
on 50 million users. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
But that data was passed
to Cambridge Analytica, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
which allegedly used it to influence
the Presidential election in the US, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
using highly targeted messages -
a charge denied by the company. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
The UK's data watchdog
said she'd had concerns | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
about the company for some time. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
These allegations are very serious. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
They came to the attention
of our office some months ago and, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:11 | |
on March 7th, I issued a demand
for information to Cambridge. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:17 | |
They did not comply with that,
so now I am moving ahead to seek | 0:03:17 | 0:03:25 | |
a warrant, so I can search
premises and data. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Separately, Cambridge Analytica
executives were secretly filmed | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
by Channel 4 giving advice on how
to influence politicians. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:42 | |
Cambridge Analytica said it has been
grossly misrespected. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
Whether this tiny consultancy
was involved in influencing | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
the US election, there
is an old adage which says | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
that if the services
you're getting are free, | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
then you are the product, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
served up to advertisers
who are convinced that | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
highly targeted messages -
constructed around detailed personal | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
information - really work. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
Since the scandal broke,
Facebook has seen £50 billion | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
wiped off its value. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
And the pressure on the company
was cranked up today, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
when the Federal Trade Commission
announced it will investigate | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
its handling of customer data. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
It has the power to
levy enormous fines. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Facebook denies any wrongdoing. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:35 | |
So, could this be a moment
of reckoning for the | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
way our data is used? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:39 | |
For the first time, things
that people suspected | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
have surfaced, thanks
to the testimony of whistle-blowers. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Now we're finally seeing
that the leaders of these companies | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
are being called to testify
in front of Parliament. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Analysts are dumping their stock,
as a vote of no confidence. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
This is a real moment that
will incentivise change. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
The facts of our lives have value. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Mark Zuckerberg will have the chance
to tell MPs how safely | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
that information is kept. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
Simon Jack, BBC News. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:11 | |
And we are getting news that the CEO
of Cambridge, Alex next, has been | 0:05:11 | 0:05:19 | |
suspended from his job. The company
involved in that undercover | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
operation. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
Some members of the US
Judiciary Committee are calling | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
for Facebook's Chief Executive,
Marc Zuckberg, to come and give | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
evidence, but the Chairman isn't
committing to make that call. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
Here is a flavour from Capitol Hill. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
I think... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
I think we have a problem out there. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:42 | |
And what I said during
the last hearing, that | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
if the industry won't solve | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
these kinds of problems themselves,
then we'll have to solve | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
them with legislation. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
It's very serious, what Facebook has
done, and it violates privacy. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
We ought to be looking into it,
but I can't promise | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
a hearing at this point. | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
For more on this unfolding story,
we spoke a brief time ago | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
with Democratic Senator Sheldon
Whitehouse, who sits | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
on the Judiciary Committee. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
Senator, I want to get your reaction
to these latest revelations about | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and
the role they both played in the | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Trump election. Well, they are two
separate aspects. One is to make | 0:06:17 | 0:06:23 | |
sure that Facebook lets its
customers know who has been | 0:06:23 | 0:06:30 | |
compromised. And what information of
theirs has been demised. And I think | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
they should explain to Congress and
the American people how this was | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
able to happen. So that we can be
sure that it will not happen again, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
which is a goal that Facebook ought
to share with all of us. The second, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
it is, located in to look into the
role of Cambridge Analytica, both | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
here in our election and potentially
in your Brexit election and see to | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
what extent they were involved in
manipulating voters. That is going | 0:06:57 | 0:07:03 | |
to be a touchy issue for our
Republican colleagues because this | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
was an effort paid for by one of the
billionaires that is backing the | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
Republican Party, the Mercer family.
So not sure we are going to get a | 0:07:10 | 0:07:17 | |
lot of bipartisanship on that. Back
in October when the tech giants | 0:07:17 | 0:07:24 | |
testified in the Senate, is said you
wished they would stop making it | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
like this was no big deal. From the
reaction of Facebook over the last | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
couple of days, they learn that
lesson? I think so. When stock | 0:07:32 | 0:07:38 | |
prices move, that tends to get
Management's attention and I suspect | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
a lot of their customers are
personally concerned about exactly | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
what was given to this Cambridge
Analytica crowd and what became of | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
the data. Once data gets out, it is
really hard to draw it all back. And | 0:07:51 | 0:07:57 | |
testing whether or not it is world
away in various servers or it has | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
been forwarded on to other entities,
all that needs to be proven to | 0:08:01 | 0:08:08 | |
customers and I hope Congress will
take a strong interest in making | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
sure all that happens. Senator, in
the footage broadcast over here on | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
Channel 4 last night, the CEO of
Cambridge Analytica was offering | 0:08:16 | 0:08:23 | |
services that go beyond data
harvesting and some seem to amount | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
to entrapment. He says the film
grossly overstate that, what you | 0:08:28 | 0:08:36 | |
say? He ought have the chance to,
for US Congress and your Parliament | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
and explain how those recordings of
him misrepresent what he said on | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
those recordings. He is entitled, I
suppose, to that chance. I expect he | 0:08:45 | 0:08:51 | |
would rather just say what he said
is trudge away. I don't know we will | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
see him appearing in Congress or
Parliament. But I hope he has a | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
chance to explain himself. They hold
the data of 50 million Americans and | 0:08:59 | 0:09:08 | |
Facebook sent in data analysts and
lawyers into their offices last | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
night. There were boxes removed from
the office last Wednesday, there is | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
concern on this side that may be the
horse has already bolted. So when | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
you get Facebook before the
committee, will you be asking them | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
what they were doing in Cambridge
Analytica's office? Yes, I think we | 0:09:24 | 0:09:31 | |
will have an obvious concern about
understanding how this took place in | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
the first instance, how they
apparently sold this tens of | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
millions of dollars of American data
to this group. And second, how they | 0:09:38 | 0:09:45 | |
are cleaning it up and how they can
assure themselves that by going to | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
the first stop of the data,
Cambridge Analytica, they know that | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
it is actually not available to
Cambridge Analytica or two others in | 0:09:52 | 0:10:00 | |
further Shell corporations or
further servers. As you pointed out, | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
once the horse has bolted, it can be
very hard to get it back in the | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
stall. Senator, it is very good to
talk to you, thank you. My pleasure. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:15 | |
I don't know if it will make it
easier now for the US Senate to get | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
hold of Alexander Nix and to ask
questions, but he has now been | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
suspended as CEO of Cambridge
Analytica. A lot of people wanting | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
to ask a lot of questions. And we
mentioned Facebook's share price | 0:10:27 | 0:10:33 | |
falling, that is happening to other
tech and social media companies, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Twitter share price is down.
Snapchat is also down by 4%. So a | 0:10:36 | 0:10:42 | |
lot of focus on social media and
their role in elections and whether | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
they are trustworthy.
I was wondering, with the greatest | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
respect, the senior investigators on
the Senate committee, my concern has | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
been since the Russians started --
Russian story starters, a lot of | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
them are offered different
generation and do not understand the | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
story. I am looking at a message
from the correspondent of the | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
observer who has been digging into
Cambridge Analytica and this goes | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
back to May 2017. Why is the
Information Commissioner, Elizabeth | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
Denham, only now applying for a
warrant to get into those officers? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
I did put that to Damian Collins
yesterday, the chair of the | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
committee investigating in the UK.
And he says, the Information | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Commissioner is acting within the
current legislation. She launches an | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
enquiry and you can issue
information notices and you can | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
follow up and the warrant stage is
not -- is the last stage. They are | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
debating this Parliament and he
accepts the Commission does not have | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
enough powers and they have to give
her those powers. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Do they not have enough powers or do
they not realise the gravity of the | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
problem? This may change that. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
Donald Trump has called
Vladimir Putin to congratulate him | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
on his re-election, and says
he would meet the Russian | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
leader in the near future. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Both actions are
pretty controversial. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
Other Western leaders have refrained
from congratulating Mr Putin. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
And any meeting between Mr Trump
and the Russian President | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
in the midst of an investigation
about Moscow's meddling | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
in the US election is bound
to raise eyebrows - | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
which may be what
Donald Trump likes. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:20 | |
I had a, er, call with President
Putin and congratulated him | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
on the victory, his electoral
victory. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
The, er, call had to do also
with the fact that we will probably | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
get together in the not-too-distant
future so that we can discuss arms. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
We can discuss the arms race. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:40 | |
As you know, he made a statement
that being in an arms race | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
is not a great thing,
and it was right after the election, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
one of the first statements he made. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Mr Trump's decision to congratulate
Mr Putin on an election race that | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
had no real opposition has already
met criticism in the US. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:01 | |
Senator John McCain - a known hawk
in the Republican Party - | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
released a statement saying,
"An American president does | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
not lead the Free World
by congratulating dictators | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
on winning sham elections." | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
And Sarah Huckabee Sanders was
giving the White House briefing and | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
she was nearly as almost exclusively
about this meeting and | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
congratulating President Putin on
the election and whether the was a | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
good idea and whether Mr Trump belt
it has been a free and fair | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
election. This is what she said.
Putin has been elected in their | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
country and that is not something
that we can dictate to them how they | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
operate. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
We can only focus on the freeness
and the fairness of our elections, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
and that's something that we 100%
fully support and something | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
that we are going to continue
to protect, to make sure bad actors | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
don't have the opportunity
to impact them in any way. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
So no comments today to President
Putin about the poisoning in | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Salisbury. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
But I am going to raise you with my
Jean-Claude Juncker European | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
Commission President statement.
Similar reaction to John McCain from | 0:14:04 | 0:14:20 | |
Guy Verhofstadt, very senior in the
European Parliament. No, we don't | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
have that. He says, this is not a
time for rather congratulatory | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
messages. There was concern in the
European Parliament that it was a | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
bit too if you sit. There it is. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
There will be a lot of people who
feel that way. Quickly, what do you | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
think about the fact that he did not
raise the issue of poisoning? He | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
seems to have gone out of his way
not to offend anyone today. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
And did not raise the overshoot --
the issue of election interference | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
in that call which will get
criticism. This administration is | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
not interested in pushing human
rights democracy around the world, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
this is a transactional foreign
policy of the Trump administration. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
Talking of which, he also had
another visitor in the White House | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
today. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:17 | |
Mohammed bin Salman,
the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
is Donald Trump's new good friend. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
The two men talked to reporters
after meetings in the White House. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Bin Salman is on something
of a sales pitch for the Kingdom - | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
travelling across the country
to woo US investors. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
But the relationship is not
without controversy. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:30 | |
A resolution condemning
Saudi Arabia's involvement | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
in the war in Yemen is due
for a vote in the Senate today. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
For the White House, however,
it seems having an ally | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
in the region to stand against Iran
outweighs the risks of closer | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
ties with the country. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:47 | |
The founder of the Arabia Foundation
is joining us. You know Mohammed bin | 0:15:47 | 0:15:54 | |
Salman and you have close relations
with him, how does he want to | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
improve Saudi Arabia's relationship
with the Trump Administration, what | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
does he want from that
administration? Saudi Arabia always | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
has have close relations with an
American government. The Prince has | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
worked hard to have closer than --
close relationships with the Trump | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
Administration as previous
monarchies have worked to have. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Relations are very close. There is a
meeting of minds on things like | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
Iran, Saudi Arabia and the US and
the White House are on the same | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
page. And Prince Mohammed is
overhauling the country in the | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
economy. He has a lot of ambitious
economic plans. American business | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
has a big role to play in that. He's
coming to America to interact with a | 0:16:34 | 0:16:41 | |
lot of business leaders across the
country. Some of them Saudi Arabia | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
will be investing their companies
through its public investment fund, | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
but many others it is inviting to
invest and participate in vision | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
2030, the masterplan to restructure
the Saudi economy. So there is a lot | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
on the table and a lot of shared
interest. So that is what the Saudis | 0:16:57 | 0:17:03 | |
want, what they don't want is
criticism of Saudi Arabia's war in | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
Yemen and there is this resolution
going forwards in the US Senate, a | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
lot of criticism from Congress about
the role Saudi Arabia is playing in | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
Yemen, especially that something
like 5,000 civilians have died in | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
that war. Should Mohammed bin Salman
not the answering those questions in | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
America as well? Well, this
resolution in Congress and it is a | 0:17:24 | 0:17:30 | |
bit of domestic politics getting
mixed up with foreign policy because | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
also, the senators are using that to
try and restrict the war powers act | 0:17:33 | 0:17:39 | |
and the power of the President to
commit forces overseas. So they are | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
really using the subject more to
control the presidency than | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
particularly focusing on the Yemen
issue. Yemen is a tragedy, wars are | 0:17:46 | 0:17:53 | |
tragedies and Saudi Arabia is aware
of that and going out of its way to | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
address the humanitarian problems.
But Saudi Arabia's Security has been | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
threatened. It sees a militia allied
to around growing on its Southern | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
border and it felt it had to take
action. People who are not | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
threatened, or far away from the
border, can afford to be more | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
judgmental about it. But if your
security is threatened as a | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
government, you have a
responsibility to act and | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
unfortunately, they always cause
human suffering. Thank you very much | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
for joining us. Important visit and
important issues. And we will return | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
to that later. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Another shooting in another
school in America. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Two students have been injured
at a high school in Maryland - | 0:18:36 | 0:18:41 | |
not far from the US capital. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
The shooter died in hospital
after engaging in gunfire | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
with the school's security officer. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Officials say one female and one
male student are still in critical | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
condition in hospital. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:56 | |
This incident comes just four days
before the March For Our Lives | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
protest takes place in Washington,
urging lawmakers to support | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
stricter gun control laws. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Students coming from all around the
country this weekend. And that | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
shooting will be very much in their
minds, as will be the shooting in | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
Florida. There is one aspect of this
which is quite interesting. That is | 0:19:10 | 0:19:18 | |
that the school, what you call them
in America? The law enforcement | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
officer.
Security officer. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
He was involved in shooting the
shooter. That would be flagged up by | 0:19:24 | 0:19:30 | |
Donald Trump, who has advocated for
that. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
Yes, they are all all. Is. This was
on my local news this morning in | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
Washington. -- they are all terrible
stories. The shooter had a | 0:19:38 | 0:19:45 | |
relationship with the girl in the
school and that may have | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
precipitated this, but it seems
different from Park and because the | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
officer responded in one minute and
was there engaging with the shooter. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
Maybe there could have been more
share and people killed, but this | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
much will revive focus on this
issue. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
We focus a lot on that -- natural
tragedies, but not this one. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:11 | |
It has been exactly six months
since Hurricane Maria struck the US | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
territory of Puerto Rico -
and the island is still | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
suffering the consequences. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
At the time the storm ripped
a deadly path of destruction | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
but today hundreds of thousands
still haven't had their | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
power restored or help
with rebuilding homes. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
The US Government has been
criticised for a lack | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
of urgency and response. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
In the first of two reports this
week, Aleem Maqbool looks at how | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
the disaster has changed life
in Puerto Rico and where | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
the greatest needs remain. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:43 | |
There are sights in Puerto Rico that
can look like the hurricane | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
struck just yesterday. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Everyone has a tale of trauma
still fresh in the mind. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
We grabbed what we could
and ran out, she says. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
But everywhere was blocked. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
We managed to get up
there and we heard the noise. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
The house just came
away and collapsed. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
The problem is, in six months,
little has moved on. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
She and her family run pipes
from a nearby spring to get water | 0:21:04 | 0:21:11 | |
to the abandoned building
where they've been living. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
And there is still no power. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
So what help have they had
from the American agencies here? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
We applied for help,
but we were told we weren't | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
entitled to any, she says. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
We've put in an appeal, but we're
still waiting for an answer. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Puerto Ricans are American citizens. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
They can go backwards
and forwards to the US mainland | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
as they please. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
And crucially, they're entitled
to the same disaster response | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
from Washington as any other
Americans. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
You'll find very few
here who believe that | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
that is what they got. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:49 | |
The family of Raul Jiminez believe
he could still be alive if there had | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
been a more urgent response. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
After the storm, the clinic
where he got dialysis | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
was without electricity. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
It meant patients would have
to miss treatments or wait | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
hours hoping to be seen. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
He was in the wheelchair quiet... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Died. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
He died in the line,
waiting for treatment? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Died in the line. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
Any true count of the number
who were killed by the hurricane | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
would include people like Raul. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
But until now, the official
figures doesn't. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:25 | |
The government want to show some
kind of numbers that | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
is not the reality. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:34 | |
They want us to believe
that all is OK. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Under pressure, the government has
ordered a recount of those | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
killed by Hurricane Maria. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
Some estimate the new number
could be nearly 20 times | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
the original figure. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:43 | |
And all the while, for so many,
the suffering continues. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:51 | |
Aleem is now back in Washington
and joins us now to talk | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
about what he found on his trip. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
How is it possible the richest
country in the world cannot put the | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
power back on in Puerto Rico? I
suppose it has to be remembered | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
firstly that logistically, this is
arguably the most difficult natural | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
disaster the US has had to deal
with. It is an Ireland of 3.5 | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
million people and the power grid
was almost totally destroyed. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
Certainly well over 85% of the grid
was destroyed, so it has taken time. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
But there is a sense that from
Puerto Ricans we spoke to that they | 0:23:22 | 0:23:28 | |
did not feel they were being treated
like other Americans. And they had | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
complaints not just about the
American Federal response, but about | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
incompetence and even corruption
within their own administration as | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
well. So that was their complaint.
But certainly, the Americans will | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
point to the fact that in the
capital, San Juan, much of the power | 0:23:45 | 0:23:52 | |
has been restored, although you will
see a lot of traffic lights still | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
out and a lot of traffic accidents.
But when you get into the rural | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
areas, the sad thing was, we go to
some of these places and people | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
would say they have not seen any
work being done, they have not been | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
told when they will have worked on,
when they will get their power back. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
And believe me, at the beginning of
this crisis after the hurricane, we | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
lived for a couple of days, me and
our team, without power. It was | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
extremely frustrating. These people
had been doing it for six months and | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
it is perhaps no surprise that the
suicide rate in the Puerto Rico has | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
increased dramatically as well over
that time. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Thanks very much. It is great that
you got back. Before we go, sad | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
story. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
The last remaining male northern
white rhinoceros has died, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
bringing the sub-species one step
closer to extinction. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
Yes, the 45-year-old rhino,
called "Sudan", was put down | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
after suffering an illness related
to old age. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:49 | |
Only two other northern white rhinos
are now left - both females. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:59 | |
45-year-old white man looking
extent, that is not make me think of | 0:25:00 | 0:25:06 | |
anyone! You met Sudan, but you could
not match his tinder profile. I | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
never thought I would ask you if you
had a tender profile but he did, and | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
he said, I perform well under
pressure, I liked eat grass and | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
chill in the mud. Not you. 6-foot
tall and £5,000, if it matters, I | 0:25:21 | 0:25:26 | |
love that! A rhino with a Sudan
profile! | 0:25:26 | 0:25:32 | |
Why did you leave out the bids, the
fake of my species literally depends | 0:25:32 | 0:25:37 | |
on me? That is the most relevant
bit. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
I got stuck!
I tried that years ago, it tried 20 | 0:25:40 | 0:25:46 | |
years for that to work! | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
This is Beyond 100
Days, from the BBC. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
Coming up for viewers on the BBC
News Channel and BBC World News... | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
US authorities are investigating
whether a fourth bombing in Texas | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
is the work of a serial attacker. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Two people have been
killed in recent weeks. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
We'll hear from a former
Deputy Director of the FBI, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
for his take on the matter. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Good evening. The first day of the
astronomical spring and a fair | 0:26:10 | 0:26:17 | |
amount of sunshine. Splendid
afternoon across Scotland. Blue | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
skies through the day. Across
England and Wales, after a bright | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
stars, more cloud around in central
areas. It stayed dry in Northampton | 0:26:24 | 0:26:30 | |
but some source and spots of rain
and sleet. Tomorrow, the weather | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
comes from the Atlantic. On the
satellite image, cloud is gripping | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
towards us. The clear breaks across
Scotland and Northern Ireland will | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
drift South across England and
Wales. Clearing skies here, | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
temperatures drop in the furthest.
After initial frost in Scotland and | 0:26:47 | 0:26:52 | |
Northern Ireland, rain spreads to
the Hebrides and many areas frost | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
free. Frost to eastern parts of
Scotland but why do Frosty across | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
England and Wales. The coldest
conditions in the West Midlands, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
Wales and North West England. -4, -6
tomorrow morning. Chilly morning | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
commute but lovely bright day for
much of England and Wales. Early | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
mist and fog clears. It clouds over
a bit but still we have dry weather. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:19 | |
Further North, morning brightness
but already cloudy in Western | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland with
occasional rain. Heavier rain on the | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
hell is spreading towards Cumbria,
Northern England and North Wales | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
later. And some rain in the East of
Scotland. The cloud breaks here into | 0:27:29 | 0:27:35 | |
the afternoon, it could hit 12
degrees in Aberdeenshire. After the | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
chilly start, even than Wales
achieving 7-10dC but still feeling | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
cool in Northern England with a
cloud in place. Even here, milder | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
air on Thursday which pushes in off
the Atlantic. Ick. By the end of the | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
week but still, winds off the
Atlantic so nowhere near as cold. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
After patchy rain into Thursday, it
brightens up to eastern areas with | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
sunny spells. Clouding over in the
West without breaks of rain later, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
strung together. And is, but all in
double big temperatures, 12, 13, 14 | 0:28:05 | 0:28:11 | |
Celsius in some parts of eastern
Scotland. Rain on Thursday night and | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
into Friday which clears eastern
areas on Friday, sunny spells here | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
and showers from the West. They
could be heavy with hale and | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
thunder, blustery day with longer
spells a rain into Western Scotland | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
and the North of Northern Ireland
later. Temperatures still into | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
double figures. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |

in these bombings, | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
two more have been injured. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 | |
There's so far no indication
who's behind them or even | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
whether they're coordinated. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
But 500 FBI agents are now
working on the case. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
Today president Trump
addressed the incidents. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
This is obviously a very,
very sick individual | 0:31:35 | 0:31:36 | |
or maybe individuals. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:37 | |
These are sick people
and we will get to the bottom of it. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
We will be very strong. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:42 | |
We have all sorts of federal
agencies over there right | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
now, we're searching
what is going on in Austin, | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
a great place, tremendous place. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:55 | |
And for more on the
investigation into this case | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
I spoke a short time ago
with Ron Hosko, Former Deputy | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
Director of the FBI. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:01 | |
Ron, this is a really curious case
what is happening down in Texas. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
What is your read on it? | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
It is very concerning. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:07 | |
First we had a round
of bombs that were, | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
what sounds like hand delivered,
presumably to targets of the bomber, | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
you know, specific targets. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:17 | |
Presumably his desired victims. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:24 | |
And a handful of people injured. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:31 | |
And then some relative silence
for a few days and now we have had | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
some additional bombings that have
come using a different | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
methodology, not hand-delivered
but run with a tripwire. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
Another one put into FedEx,
the delivery chain, for FedEx. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:45 | |
And some additional ones
in the delivery chain | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
now that are being looked
at by law enforcement. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
So the methodology has changed. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
We do not know if the subject has
had these devices built already over | 0:32:53 | 0:32:57 | |
time or has them stockpiled. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
Has the additional components
for additional devices. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
It is very concerning. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:09 | |
You say this subject, you are
assuming that it is one person? | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
I am, you know if we look back
at bombers over time they tend | 0:33:13 | 0:33:17 | |
to be angry individuals
who have a purpose in mind. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:22 | |
Whether it is, you know,
the Unabomber, you know it's | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
certainly a very solitary person,
very capable and deadly, | 0:33:26 | 0:33:32 | |
going to the killer of Judge Vance
and other bombers, other bombings | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
in Georgia and in the Florida area. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:44 | |
Eric Robert Rudolph,
the Centennial Park bomber, | 0:33:44 | 0:33:45 | |
who also bombed an abortion
provider in Alabama. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
These folks tend to work
by themselves, they do not | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
tend to be in teams,
people working in concert. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:55 | |
So it remains to be seen. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:56 | |
Maybe there are other
people and of course | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
that is what the appeal
is through the media, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
by law enforcement now,
for the public to come out as well. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
So if you're running this
case what are the clues | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
you are looking at? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
Well first there are a couple
of different channels | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
going on right now. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
One is the forensics of the devices
that they can recover. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
In the post-blast investigation
that is very detailed examination | 0:34:19 | 0:34:23 | |
of anything that came out
of the already exploded devices. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:28 | |
They're looking for DNA,
for fingerprints, essentially | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
the bomber's signature
and what type of initiation, | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
what were the explosive components
and how was it constructed. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:39 | |
What was the shrapnel. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
So they're looking for all of that. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
They're looking at the victimology
to see if there is any | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
link to the victims
or intended victims. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
What are you doing to try
to prevent future attacks? | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
Well I'm doing what they're doing,
which is going to media, | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
recognising that this
is the opportunity for the best | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
partnership between law enforcement,
through the media, to the public. | 0:34:56 | 0:35:04 | |
They may have 500 agents
on the ground down there | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
but that is no match for thousands
and thousands of eyes | 0:35:06 | 0:35:09 | |
of the community, of
a loved one, a neighbour. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:14 | |
Somebody who sees something
of concern and says | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
you know who did that,
that is my next-door neighbour. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
I see him in his garage at night. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:24 | |
So that has to be leveraged,
that is what they're trying to do. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
If you see something, say something. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:30 | |
You're welcome. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:40 | |
Gary O'Donoghue joins us
live now from Austin. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
While they are saying nothing and
they give up West conference and | 0:35:50 | 0:35:55 | |
Whitley refused to answer specific
questions. They've been on the scene | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
by about ten or 11 hours by that
stage was up compare that to what | 0:35:57 | 0:36:02 | |
happened on Sunday, by Monday
morning they were telling us the | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
bombing there was linked to the
three previous ones even though it | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
was a different kind of delivery,
this tripwire across the pavement. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:13 | |
So I think either they're having
some trouble down there working out | 0:36:13 | 0:36:17 | |
exactly what was in the bomb or they
are giving information back for some | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
particular reason. They're not
saying, not confirming it was a | 0:36:21 | 0:36:26 | |
package destined for them to or had
come from there in the first place. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:32 | |
Or that it contained the shrapnel.
One interesting fact is one of the | 0:36:32 | 0:36:38 | |
relatives of the men injured on
Sunday, those two young white men | 0:36:38 | 0:36:43 | |
who were walking along and trip the
tripwire, one of the relatives of | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
the men said he thought his son had
had nails driven into his knees by | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
the explosion. That would be an
interesting connection. But at this | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
stage there not tying this book
bombing in 18 days to both other | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
once just yet. I was reading today
one of the most longest-running FBI | 0:36:58 | 0:37:05 | |
investigations was backed into the
Unabomber. It took them a long time | 0:37:05 | 0:37:10 | |
of course to get in touch with him
and find out what his motives were. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
Are they looking with regards this
investigation at the signature of | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
these bombs because they have been
different, one was a tripwire, won a | 0:37:18 | 0:37:24 | |
parcel bomb on a doorstep presumably
this one a bit different. Someone | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
who has a platter of skills. While
this one might not be different to | 0:37:27 | 0:37:33 | |
the first three if you think about
it. They said FedEx, the police said | 0:37:33 | 0:37:39 | |
FedEx was not the target told could
well be that this was a parcel bomb | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
aimed for a specific individual like
the first three. That went off | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
prematurely. That is a perfectly
viable possibility. Of course there | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
will look at the mechanisms inside
the bombs. Initially they said the | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
first three bombings, they contained
readily available household items | 0:37:55 | 0:38:00 | |
that had been constructed. They're
not saying anything like as much | 0:38:00 | 0:38:05 | |
detail as that now but if you were a
member with the Unabomber, it took | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
years for them to catch him. Those
bombings were much more spread apart | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
and eventually of course the
Washington Post and New York Times | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
published his old manifesto sometime
before the court in this stage no | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
idea of the motivation as far as we
can tell. Of course Austin is a big | 0:38:22 | 0:38:30 | |
place but it does start to play on
people's minds when we have five, | 0:38:30 | 0:38:36 | |
then they cannot catch this guy.
Back in 2002 they had this sniper in | 0:38:36 | 0:38:41 | |
Washington snooping - sniping at the
back of a van and you get this fear | 0:38:41 | 0:38:49 | |
and suspicion and worry. I was Lily
in Washington at that time and when | 0:38:49 | 0:38:55 | |
this happened in Austin you think
back to it. It just imprints itself | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
on your memory and when the sniper
was out there my kids could not | 0:38:59 | 0:39:04 | |
leave their classrooms during
playground time, they never went | 0:39:04 | 0:39:05 | |
outside. We did not go to the park
after school just because we did not | 0:39:05 | 0:39:11 | |
know whether a school playground or
park was going to be the next | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
target. So desperately limited
peoples lives and I would be if you | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
went to playground in Austin at the
moment I bet they would be empty and | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
stop because you never know if
you're going to be the next target. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
And they will do until they find out
who's this. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:32 | |
In the last half an hour -
further revelations have surfaced | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
on the work Cambridge Analytica did
for the Donald Trump | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
presidential election campaign. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
In a report on Channel 4 News the
frame appeared to claim that it ran | 0:39:39 | 0:39:44 | |
key parts of the strategy for Donald
Trump. It was secretly recorded | 0:39:44 | 0:39:51 | |
discussing coordination between the
Trump campaign and other sources. | 0:39:51 | 0:40:01 | |
Let's bring in our North America
Editor Jon Sopel who's | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
been sitting across the latest
revelations from Channel 4. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:10 | |
That is focusing on the role
specifically in the Trump campaign. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:15 | |
What have the company been saying.
While they have been caught | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
red-handed with their hands in the
cookie jar it seems. Either | 0:40:18 | 0:40:23 | |
Cambridge Analytica are full of BS
or they have been up to no good. It | 0:40:23 | 0:40:29 | |
is hard to draw any other conclusion
from listening to what has been | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
said. They are either up to Black
Ops and honey traps and blackmail | 0:40:32 | 0:40:38 | |
and covert recordings and all the
rest of it or they are making it all | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
up in which case neither of them are
a good look. What is interesting | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
about what came out this evening on
Channel 4 News, the suggestion of | 0:40:45 | 0:40:52 | |
just how and for their work in the
Trump campaign. And help open it | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
was. The cost if you think about the
way political campaign finance is | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
structured in the US there is a
strict separation between what are | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
called these super packs, the
funding bodies, and the Trump | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
campaign. It seems much information
was bleeding between the two and a | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
chief executive of Cambridge and the
little girl who has been now | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
suspended as the company tries to
salvage its reputation, was making | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
it seem like yes, we were working
with everyone involved alongside and | 0:41:19 | 0:41:25 | |
I think that brings up some
questions about electoral finance | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
and electoral law in the US about
what they were up to. Not just in | 0:41:27 | 0:41:34 | |
the US, clearly this is to be some
implication that Cambridge Analytica | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
has been involved in political
campaigns in Europe as well. And | 0:41:38 | 0:41:45 | |
perhaps not surprisingly seen Steve
Bannon initially appearing with the | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
National front in France as well.
Also someone who has been tied up | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
with Cambridge analytic. Yes and
Steve Bannon was on the board of | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
Cambridge Analytica and the Mercer
family, very well-known in the as | 0:41:57 | 0:42:01 | |
being big funders of Donald Trump,
they were the people who got very | 0:42:01 | 0:42:09 | |
interested in Cambridge Analytica I
wanted to put Steve Bannon on the | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
board and so there is a close link
between Cambridge analytic and the | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
Trump organisation and if you look
at some of the Black Ops but went on | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
during the Trump campaign, the
smearing of Hillary Clinton, | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
Cambridge analytic in the latest bit
of covert recording there has been | 0:42:25 | 0:42:29 | |
released claimed responsibility for
all of it. They said they were the | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
masters of it, they designed the
strategy, delivered on it, they were | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
the ones who delivered the victory
to Donald Trump in 2016. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Uncomfortable place for the
president at the moment to have | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
someone like that saying yes, we did
it all. Because Donald Trump of | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
course I said it was his brilliance
that led to that election victory | 0:42:48 | 0:42:52 | |
and that he was the campaign
maestro. So I think huge problems | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
for the reputation of Cambridge
analytic. A couple of months ago we | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
had a British company, a PR company,
go under because what they did in | 0:43:00 | 0:43:06 | |
South Africa. This starts to look
like small beer compared to what | 0:43:06 | 0:43:11 | |
Cambridge analytic have been
training at least in these | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
undercover recordings. Interesting,
Steve Bannon in Italy last week, | 0:43:14 | 0:43:23 | |
sitting down in the basement of
Trump Tower with the French National | 0:43:23 | 0:43:27 | |
front leader. The one thing I
suppose, on this issue, the campaign | 0:43:27 | 0:43:35 | |
would say they use Cambridge
Analytica for the primaries and when | 0:43:35 | 0:43:40 | |
Donald Trump got the ticket he was
using data from the RNC because in | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
their view that as more trustworthy.
So the question is are Cambridge | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
analytic over again just how much
they were involved. That is the | 0:43:49 | 0:43:56 | |
question I posed at the start, are
they just dragging and full of hot | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
air and nonsense all by the two that
sort of activity. Either way not a | 0:43:58 | 0:44:05 | |
good position for them to be in and
they are suffering enormous | 0:44:05 | 0:44:09 | |
reputational damage as a company
because everyone thought it was a | 0:44:09 | 0:44:16 | |
genius company that had
extraordinary insights as a result | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
of algorithmic tests on opinion
forming and all the rest of it. That | 0:44:18 | 0:44:22 | |
informed where each individual voter
thought and what vulnerabilities | 0:44:22 | 0:44:29 | |
would be. It seems there was a lot
of old-fashioned dirty work going on | 0:44:29 | 0:44:34 | |
as well. Thank you very much for
joining us and you are right, | 0:44:34 | 0:44:41 | |
resident Trump will not like the
idea that anywhere else was | 0:44:41 | 0:44:45 | |
responsible for his victory. --
President Trump. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:56 | |
It's been three years
since the outbreak of war in Yemen. | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
Houthi rebels - backed by Iran -
remain in control of large | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
parts of the country -
including the capital Sana'a. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
Fighting them are forces loyal
to the former president - | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
who are being backed
by Saudi airstrikes. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:07 | |
It's impossible to say
exactly how many people | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
the war has killed -
but we know thousands of civilians | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
have died and millions more have
been displaced as a result | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
of the conflict. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:16 | |
Children have especially suffered -
with famine and the worst cholera | 0:45:16 | 0:45:18 | |
outbreak in history affecting
hundreds of thousands of youngsters. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:20 | |
I'm joined now by the BBC's
chief international | 0:45:20 | 0:45:22 | |
correspondent Lyse Doucet,
who has recently | 0:45:22 | 0:45:24 | |
returned from Yemen. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:29 | |
We have been watching Euro series
from the ground. The Saudi Crown | 0:45:29 | 0:45:33 | |
Prince is in Washington today,
afraid transactional relationship | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
with the Middle East at the moment.
The Americans despise the | 0:45:37 | 0:45:41 | |
administration is concerned not so
involved in what is going on | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
day-to-day but the Senate more so
because they talk today about | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
whether America should be involved.
There was a bipartisan effort in | 0:45:48 | 0:45:53 | |
Congress to stop America aid for the
Saudi campaign in Yemen because they | 0:45:53 | 0:45:59 | |
are accused of carrying out war
crimes with their bombing which has | 0:45:59 | 0:46:03 | |
killed a high level of civilian
casualties according to the UN. When | 0:46:03 | 0:46:08 | |
we were in Riyadh a few weeks ago
the Saudis so does their command and | 0:46:08 | 0:46:13 | |
control centre and how they adhere
to the higher standards of | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
targeting, they go through all the
laws of war, humanitarian law, | 0:46:16 | 0:46:20 | |
trying to establish which targets
are proper targets and which are | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
civilian targets and should be
avoided. And all of that, they seem | 0:46:24 | 0:46:29 | |
to take every precaution but the
reality is on the ground that homes | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
are being hit, children been hit and
even though we could not get to the | 0:46:32 | 0:46:39 | |
capital as the Saudis have put on
restrictions. We were able to get | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
people to film for us and the
stories that came back are | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
horrendous. You have covered many
war zones and I just wondered if you | 0:46:46 | 0:46:52 | |
could project forward, do the
trajectory for the war, how long it | 0:46:52 | 0:46:57 | |
might last. The Saudis seem to be in
it to make sure that there will not | 0:46:57 | 0:47:01 | |
be extremist on their border and
verbal fight as long as it takes. So | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
what happens then question mark well
there are couple of red lines for | 0:47:05 | 0:47:09 | |
the Saudis, Festival Yemen is the
neighbour and right on their border | 0:47:09 | 0:47:15 | |
and more than that, the foodie
rebels have long-range mystic | 0:47:15 | 0:47:20 | |
missiles that can reach Riyadh.
Dashed the 30s. Second point, even | 0:47:20 | 0:47:29 | |
more importantly, when they see
Yemen and the Houthis they see their | 0:47:29 | 0:47:36 | |
archrival Iran on their border and
that is something they will not | 0:47:36 | 0:47:40 | |
countenance. That is certainly on
the agenda in Washington this week | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
in conversations with President
Trump. Good to see you, wish we | 0:47:43 | 0:47:48 | |
could talk more. We have a lot of
stories to get through, a busy day. | 0:47:48 | 0:48:04 | |
Still to come - more
on the upcoming wedding | 0:48:04 | 0:48:06 | |
of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry -
and we can bring you important news | 0:48:06 | 0:48:09 | |
about the wedding cake. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:14 | |
A two year old girl has died
after the car she was in | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
plunged into a river in Wales. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:18 | |
Kiara Moore was pulled
from the vehicle in the River | 0:48:18 | 0:48:21 | |
in Cardigan near her family's
outdoor pursuits business. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
Her father said she had been left
in the car while the driver got | 0:48:23 | 0:48:27 | |
cash from the office. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:28 | |
When the driver returned,
the car was missing | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
and initially feared stolen. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:33 | |
The little girl would have
celebrated her third | 0:48:33 | 0:48:35 | |
birthday next Tuesday. | 0:48:35 | 0:48:36 | |
Police officers say they're
investigating the incident and have | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
appealed for witnesses. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
From Cardigan, Tomos Morgan reports. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:45 | |
Kara Moore, just two years old. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:47 | |
Had it not been for the tragic
events of yesterday afternoon, | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
she would have been celebrating her
third birthday a week today. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:54 | |
It's understood that two-year-old
Kiara was left in the silver mini | 0:48:54 | 0:48:58 | |
while a family member went
into offices nearby. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:02 | |
By the time the family
member returned the car | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
car had disappeared. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:07 | |
The police were contacted
and a search was under way. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
They believed the car to be stolen. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
It transpired that the car was in
the River Teifl just yards away. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:15 | |
The toddler was airlifted
to the university hospital | 0:49:15 | 0:49:17 | |
of Wales in Cardiff,
but doctors were | 0:49:17 | 0:49:19 | |
unable to revive her. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
Young families in the town today
have been paying their own tributes | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
by laying flowers by the river. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:29 | |
She was a very lively little girl. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:30 | |
Very smiley. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
Cheeky little smile
she had all the time. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:34 | |
She... | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
Her and her mum were always
together, always fun days out. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
And... | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
She had a happy little life. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:43 | |
Short life, but a happy little life. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
Commenting on Facebook,
Kiara's father thanked the work | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
of the emergency services whilst
also paying tribute to his | 0:49:49 | 0:49:53 | |
daughter saying she had
an "amazing but short life." | 0:49:53 | 0:49:59 | |
It's unclear as to how the Mini came
to be in the River Teifl as family | 0:49:59 | 0:50:04 | |
and friends mourn the loss of young
Kiara the investigation into exactly | 0:50:04 | 0:50:07 | |
what happened continues. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:08 | |
Tomos Morgan, BBC News, Cardigan. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:18 | |
The Environment
Secretary Michael Gove | 0:50:21 | 0:50:22 | |
says he's "disappointed"
that the European Union | 0:50:22 | 0:50:24 | |
will continue to set quotas on how
much fish can be caught off | 0:50:24 | 0:50:28 | |
the coast of Britain
during the "transition | 0:50:28 | 0:50:29 | |
period" after Brexit. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:32 | |
He's told the Commons
that the Government would seek | 0:50:32 | 0:50:34 | |
to take back control of its waters
at the end of 2020 when | 0:50:34 | 0:50:37 | |
the UK is due to leave
the Common Fisheries Policy. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
Let's take a quick
listen to what he said. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:45 | |
There is a significant
prize at the end of | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
the implementation period
and | 0:50:47 | 0:50:48 | |
it is important that all of us
in every area except that the | 0:50:48 | 0:50:52 | |
implementation period is a necessary
step towards securing that prize. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
For coastal communities
it is an opportunity | 0:50:55 | 0:50:58 | |
to revive economically,
for our marine environment it is an | 0:50:58 | 0:51:00 | |
opportunity to be
managed sustainably. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
And it is critical that all of us
in the interests of the | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
whole nation keep our
eyes on that prize. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:10 | |
Well that's what the secretary
of state had to say, | 0:51:10 | 0:51:13 | |
but what do people in the industry
affected by the policy think? | 0:51:13 | 0:51:16 | |
To find out more let's talk
to Bertie Armstrong, | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
who is the Chief Executive
of the Scottish Fishermen's | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
Federation, and joins us
from Aberdeen in Scotland | 0:51:20 | 0:51:25 | |
Great to have you on the show.
Putting it bluntly, the reaction | 0:51:25 | 0:51:30 | |
we've seen today suggests the
fishing communities around the UK | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
just do not have confidence that the
government will look after their | 0:51:33 | 0:51:37 | |
interests. In the run-up to this we
had expected that sovereignty would | 0:51:37 | 0:51:42 | |
be retained, but is not the same as
not negotiating and allowing other | 0:51:42 | 0:51:48 | |
nations to have fishing
opportunities in any implementation | 0:51:48 | 0:51:49 | |
period. But sovereignty was
considered for an extra 21 months so | 0:51:49 | 0:51:57 | |
we are not impressed with that. That
was not meant to be in the plan. | 0:51:57 | 0:52:01 | |
However as long as cast-iron
guarantees, we understand the bigger | 0:52:01 | 0:52:08 | |
picture, as long as cast-iron
guarantees are given that the | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
implementation period will not be
allowed to be used by the EU to put | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
in place longer term arrangements to
our detriment, then that will be | 0:52:16 | 0:52:21 | |
fine. The Common fisheries policy is
remarkably distorted. This morning | 0:52:21 | 0:52:27 | |
we spoke to the Danish industry on
the radio and Denmark catches 40 | 0:52:27 | 0:52:34 | |
times more fish in UK waters then we
catch in their waters. Grossly | 0:52:34 | 0:52:41 | |
distorted and it needs sorting out.
So a delay in that is not impressive | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
but we understand the wider picture
and just as long as we are | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
guaranteed it will not actually get
worse. What material impact could | 0:52:48 | 0:52:53 | |
this have on the livelihoods of
Scottish fishermen? The material | 0:52:53 | 0:52:58 | |
affect of Brexit for fishermen, this
should be a happy success story of | 0:52:58 | 0:53:05 | |
Brexit. We retain, the value of fish
landed by the UK is about £130 | 0:53:05 | 0:53:13 | |
million a year. We keep 40% of the
fish that leave our waters, 60% of | 0:53:13 | 0:53:21 | |
the fish that leave our waters do so
in the hands of other European | 0:53:21 | 0:53:25 | |
nations. So the impact is an annual
loss at today's prices of | 0:53:25 | 0:53:30 | |
approximately £1 billion. We want to
get on with progressively recovering | 0:53:30 | 0:53:36 | |
that. So that is the effect on the
livelihoods of the coastal | 0:53:36 | 0:53:40 | |
communities all around the UK. That
lack of economic activity. We're | 0:53:40 | 0:53:45 | |
keeping on the community nights
around Europe and that will not do. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:51 | |
Michael Gove said today in the House
of Commons that of course he comes | 0:53:51 | 0:53:56 | |
from fishing stocks, his
grandparents were fishermen, his | 0:53:56 | 0:53:58 | |
father was involved in the fishing
industry as well. From what I'm | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
hearing, speaking to MPs, he is
fighting a battle within the Cabinet | 0:54:01 | 0:54:06 | |
to protect fisheries and take back
control but the Treasury sees it as | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
something to throw on the table as a
pawn for top card for cash, if you | 0:54:10 | 0:54:16 | |
will. While the Chancellor made a
pretty sinister statement two | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
weekends ago on the fact that we
would be out and we would be free. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:26 | |
So that is not the case. We regard
ourselves right now is frankly | 0:54:26 | 0:54:31 | |
having been let down. There are many
politicians including Michael Gove | 0:54:31 | 0:54:36 | |
who has been a consistent supporter,
who supported us boldly and stuck | 0:54:36 | 0:54:40 | |
their necks out. But it was the
government 's both governments, | 0:54:40 | 0:54:46 | |
which let us down. One has kept this
in the CFB for another 20 months and | 0:54:46 | 0:54:54 | |
then they would have us back in it
full-time. Thank you very much for | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
joining us. We have to leave it
there. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
Kensington Palace has announced more
detail on the wedding | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:07 | |
They've said the cake
for the wedding will be made | 0:55:07 | 0:55:09 | |
by pastry chef Claire Ptak,
owner of the tiny Violet | 0:55:09 | 0:55:11 | |
Bakery in East London. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:20 | |
You needed that information! | 0:55:20 | 0:55:23 | |
The cake chosen
by the couple will be | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
a lemon elderflower cake,
covered in buttercream | 0:55:25 | 0:55:26 | |
and decorated with fresh flowers. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:30 | |
Ms Ptak says that she is 'delighted'
to be chosen and that she shares | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
the same values as Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle - about food | 0:55:33 | 0:55:37 | |
provenance, sustainability,
seasonality and flavour. | 0:55:37 | 0:55:46 | |
You read that with a lot of feeling!
We're going to do a special from | 0:55:50 | 0:55:55 | |
Windsor the day before the wedding!
Maybe we will try some cake. I'm not | 0:55:55 | 0:56:01 |
