0:00:08 > 0:00:10You're watching Beyond One Hundred Days.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Facebook lost control of its users' data and failed to tackle
0:00:13 > 0:00:16the vulnerabilities in its system.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The man formerly in charge of policing data breaches
0:00:19 > 0:00:21at Facebook tells a committee of British MPs he had
0:00:21 > 0:00:27warned senior figures at the company - but was ignored.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Facebook approached data like it was "the Wild West frontier"
0:00:30 > 0:00:33claims Sandy Parakilas, and the amount of data that left
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Facebook he says was "vast".
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Is Russia's World Cup games really comparable
0:00:38 > 0:00:41to Hitler's Munich Olympics?
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Boris Johnson says it is, prompting outrage from Moscow.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51I think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Also on the programme.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The pornstar, the Playmate, and the reality TV
0:00:57 > 0:00:59contestant - President Trump could be facing three
0:00:59 > 0:01:01civil lawsuits.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06As if he didn't have enough legal issues to deal with.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And the US housing secretary who bought a $31,000
0:01:08 > 0:01:11dining room set for his office last year - it wasn't my fault, he says.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Blame my wife.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28Hello I'm Katty Kay in Washington, Christian
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Fraser is in London.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Facebook had a "wild west" approach to users' data and little interest
0:01:34 > 0:01:37in making sure profiles were used appropriately - that's according
0:01:37 > 0:01:39to a former Facebook employee who's been testifying before
0:01:39 > 0:01:40a parliamentary committee.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Sandy Parakalis worked on data protection at the company
0:01:42 > 0:01:49from 2011 to 2012 and has now become a whistleblower.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55He told MPs for years data had been leaving the Facebook service and
0:01:55 > 0:02:00going to an unfettered group of people. He said it was a risk the
0:02:00 > 0:02:04company was willing to take in order to grow the platform as quickly as
0:02:04 > 0:02:13possible.With that the affair analogy for the way Facebook
0:02:13 > 0:02:22approached data, like the wild west Frontier?So the approach to that,
0:02:22 > 0:02:28the wild West is an appropriate analogy for top all this coming from
0:02:28 > 0:02:33the fallout that was the Cambridge Analytica took millions of profiles
0:02:33 > 0:02:35from Facebook and used them to sway support for the Trump campaign.Here
0:02:35 > 0:02:38is Simon Jack.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The pressure on Mark Zuckerberg is growing to give his version
0:02:41 > 0:02:43of how the personal data of 50 million Facebook users ended
0:02:43 > 0:02:46up with a consultancy that worked on the successful election campaign
0:02:46 > 0:02:50of Donald Trump and was secretly filmed boasting of their influence.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The Cambridge academic who came up with the original app says
0:03:03 > 0:03:11he is stunned by the controversy.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Never in our wildest dreams did we think anything we did would be
0:03:15 > 0:03:16used in the Donald Trump campaign.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17This is 2014.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well before anybody would think Mr Trump would be
0:03:19 > 0:03:20a serious candidate.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So at the time, I didn't know who their clients
0:03:23 > 0:03:26were going to be and I did not know the specific case.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I did know it was going to be used for political purposes
0:03:28 > 0:03:33but beyond that, yes, it was well above my pay grade.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34I should have asked!
0:03:34 > 0:03:44Although he did sign an undertaking that is migratory was from research
0:03:44 > 0:03:47-- his app was for research only and would never be used
0:03:47 > 0:03:52for commercial purposes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The implication in the story is democracy has somehow
0:03:54 > 0:03:56been undermined and that drew a political response today.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The allegations are clearly very concerning and it is absolutely
0:03:58 > 0:04:00right that they should be investigated, it is right
0:04:00 > 0:04:02that the Information Commissioner is doing exactly that,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05because people need to have confidence in how their personal
0:04:05 > 0:04:06data is being used.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So how much are we, as consumers, to blame for surrendering
0:04:08 > 0:04:10the facts of our lives?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12The conservation we should be having is, what happens to our data,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15how much are we comfortable to share, who with, and what we
0:04:15 > 0:04:18think about how that is done?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So this feels to me like a real light bulb moment where people
0:04:21 > 0:04:23are understanding that it is not just clicking like on Facebook,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26you are giving data away.
0:04:26 > 0:04:32So far, this scandal has cost Facebook, whose
0:04:32 > 0:04:34London headquarters are there, $50 billion in market value
0:04:34 > 0:04:35and untold reputational damage.
0:04:35 > 0:04:42The Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has been silent and he will speak
0:04:42 > 0:04:43tonight , but how much responsibility could
0:04:43 > 0:04:47he and should he take for the misuse of his own customers data?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Cambridge Analytica have always denied they used the harvested data
0:04:50 > 0:04:54in the Trump campaign and deny any wrongdoing.
0:04:54 > 0:05:04Mark Zuckerberg will need a better statement than that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12Well Facebook have been talking to committees on Capitol Hill.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro sits
0:05:13 > 0:05:16on the House Intelligence committee - which Cambridge Analytica's former
0:05:16 > 0:05:19CEO testified before and then mocked in the Channel 4 expose on the firm.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23He joined me from capitol hill a short time ago.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So Congressmen Castro, you have had members of Facebook's
0:05:25 > 0:05:28staff coming to speak to people on the Intel committee
0:05:28 > 0:05:34on Capitol Hill today.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Are you getting any more answers from them than we have had so far
0:05:38 > 0:05:40about what was going on in their role in terms
0:05:40 > 0:05:46of their users data being used in political campaigns?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, of course I cannot speak directly to what they told us
0:05:49 > 0:05:50before the committees.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But I can tell you there are still a lot of unanswered
0:05:52 > 0:05:55questions we have about for example how many different groups may have
0:05:55 > 0:05:58got access to the same data that Cambridge Analytica God.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59-- got.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Whether Cambridge Analytica to the best of Facebook's knowledge
0:06:01 > 0:06:03shared that information with any other groups.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And what safeguards they put in place now to prevent that
0:06:06 > 0:06:07from happening in the future.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Do you think Facebook realises the seriousness
0:06:08 > 0:06:11now of this situation?
0:06:11 > 0:06:21I think they have come a long way from where they started
0:06:22 > 0:06:27right after the election, where of course their CEO
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and executives really denied that Facebook as a platform was abused
0:06:30 > 0:06:31or misused in any way.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think it has become very clear that if they are going to continue
0:06:34 > 0:06:37to be a news source, a major news source
0:06:37 > 0:06:39in the United States and around the world,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41that they are going to have to safeguard their platform a lot
0:06:41 > 0:06:42better than they have.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45They sat on this information that Cambridge Analytica had 50,000,000
0:06:45 > 0:06:49users profiles for 2 years.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So what prompted the change of heart on the part of the company?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I think all of the revelations that have come out, the wonderful
0:06:55 > 0:06:58journalism that has been done, the reporting, about exactly how
0:06:58 > 0:07:00the platform was misused, I think also the investigations that
0:07:00 > 0:07:02have been conducted in public and in classified settings.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Or not classified, our investigation actually was not classified
0:07:05 > 0:07:06but in a sensitive setting.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So you know, all that work I think has been helpful in getting Facebook
0:07:09 > 0:07:12to come to the table and realise that they have a role to play
0:07:12 > 0:07:19in helping to protect American democracy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22At one point in the latest report from Channel 4 News,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26one of the members and I think
0:07:26 > 0:07:29it was Alexander Nix, says, we went to speak to members
0:07:29 > 0:07:31of Congress but frankly, you know what, they didn't even know
0:07:31 > 0:07:32what questions to ask us.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35They were ignorant, they did not understand the technology.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Is that a fair representation of why it has taken lawmakers not just
0:07:39 > 0:07:42on this side of the Atlantic but in the UK as well,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47so long to address this issue?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I think part of the challenge we have had was some witnesses not
0:07:51 > 0:07:54being honest and not being candid and they have played hide the ball.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I would put Alexander Nix in that category and the problem has been
0:07:57 > 0:08:01that when we have asked questions the majority on the committee
0:08:01 > 0:08:09which is controlled by Republicans, have been unwilling to issue any
0:08:09 > 0:08:12kind of subpoena or phone records or computer records or travel
0:08:12 > 0:08:15records to verify what has been told to us or to contradict anything that
0:08:15 > 0:08:16has been told to us.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19When I watch these two reports, I came away,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and it sounds kind of grandiose, with the impression that Western
0:08:22 > 0:08:24democracy has fundamentally changed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28The way votes are cast, the way elections are won or lost
0:08:28 > 0:08:30has changed significantly.
0:08:30 > 0:08:37In a way that is worrying.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40That kind of degrades the concept of one person, one vote.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Is that too extreme, or is that the direction we're heading in?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think the big concern that many of us have
0:08:45 > 0:08:48is that for bad actors, whether it is a Russian
0:08:48 > 0:08:51operative placing Facebook ads, fake Facebook ads,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53or Cambridge Analytica, social media has become the perfect
0:08:53 > 0:08:58platform for their propaganda.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And social, we are in a full social media age now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:09Where people get more of their information
0:09:09 > 0:09:11from the social media companies than from the traditional sources
0:09:11 > 0:09:12in broadcasting and print.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15And so to the extent that these platforms can be abused
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and are being abused, that is a big hit for our democracy.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Congressmen Castro, thank you very much for joining us.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We are in a full social media age.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Thank you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29A fairly terrifying thought.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Does Vladimir Putin have something in common
0:09:31 > 0:09:32with Adolf Hitler?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Britain's foreign secretary seems to think so.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Boris Johnson said today the Russian President will use this
0:09:37 > 0:09:40year's world cup tournament the same way the Nazi leader used the 1936
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Berlin Olympics - for propaganda.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47In return Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman said
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Mr Johnson is "poisoned with hatred and anger" adding that she found
0:09:50 > 0:09:54it frightening that he represents a nuclear power.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58As you can see, relations are not good.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00This war of words follows the expulsion yesterday of 23
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Russsian diplomats - and the same number of British
0:10:03 > 0:10:06diplomats will be leaving Moscow any day now.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08How much worse will it get?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Mr Johnson has been taking questions from the Foreign
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Affairs Select Committee.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16He feels Russia lost out and so he wants to
0:10:16 > 0:10:21cause trouble wherever he can.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23A desire for the world to take Russia
0:10:23 > 0:10:25seriously again at all, at any price.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28And of course his principal audience for this is not us.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It is his domestic audience.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Who want, after what they see as all these
0:10:33 > 0:10:38humiliations, who want to feel that Russia is strong again.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40And it is ruled by someone who is strong and
0:10:40 > 0:10:42capable of expressing his strength and his desire for revenge.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Even in a place like Salisbury.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The Labour MP Ian Austin also raised concerns around this
0:10:50 > 0:10:52summer's football World Cup in Russia making comparisons
0:10:52 > 0:10:54with Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56They got the right to stage the World Cup clearly through
0:10:56 > 0:10:57corruption.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Putin's going to use it the way Hitler used the 1936
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Olympics.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06The idea of Putin handing over the world to the captain of the winning
0:11:06 > 0:11:07team fills me with horror.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'm afraid that's completely right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The idea of Putin using this as a PR exercise to gloss over the corrupt
0:11:12 > 0:11:18regime for which he is responsible fills me with horror.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The Russians are still denying any involvement
0:11:20 > 0:11:22in the attack on former spy Sergei Skripal, and now
0:11:22 > 0:11:26they're even more enraged, because the UK's ambassador
0:11:26 > 0:11:28to Russia did not attend a meeting in Moscow about the nerve
0:11:29 > 0:11:31agent that was used.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The Kremlin says it's another example of Britain refusing
0:11:34 > 0:11:36to listen to its answers.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Now Moscow is even suggesting Britain may itself be
0:11:38 > 0:11:45behind the poisoning.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47The basic logic here reveals just two possible options.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The British government either is not capable
0:11:51 > 0:11:54of defending its country from such a - let's say - terror
0:11:54 > 0:12:00attack on their territory or they are directly or indirectly -
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm not accusing anyone of anything - staged an attack on a Russian
0:12:03 > 0:12:06female citizen.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11In the last few minutes the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has
0:12:11 > 0:12:16responded saying a British embassy representative attending the
0:12:16 > 0:12:20briefing and received no credible explanation. In contrast to Russia
0:12:20 > 0:12:24it continues, the UK is fully compliant with its obligations under
0:12:24 > 0:12:28the Chemical Weapons Convention with the experts are returning to the UK
0:12:28 > 0:12:33to collect samples. While I was looking at Twitter I spotted this
0:12:33 > 0:12:37from President Trump. He was pretty angry about the media response to
0:12:37 > 0:12:42his call yesterday with President Putin. The fake news media is
0:12:42 > 0:12:47crazed, they're wrong, getting along with Russia and others is a good
0:12:47 > 0:12:51thing not a bad thing. He is responding to a report in the
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Washington Post today, a leak of the briefing notes he was given before
0:12:55 > 0:13:02the call.Yes, President Trump was given briefing notes before his call
0:13:02 > 0:13:04President Putin yesterday and according to the Washington Post in
0:13:04 > 0:13:10those notes, in capital letters, it was written, do not congratulate.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14And what does he do, he goes ahead to congratulate him. We do not know
0:13:14 > 0:13:20if he ignored the briefing, had not read it, but it seems his cross
0:13:20 > 0:13:23about the fact there was some kind of leak because it is all over the
0:13:23 > 0:13:31media. But not just the president who responded to this, a group of
0:13:31 > 0:13:35senators were up on Capitol Hill yesterday and giving a briefing
0:13:35 > 0:13:38about another issue and they were asked by a journalist about resonant
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Trump congratulating resident Putin put up here is their answer.We're
0:13:43 > 0:13:46talking about connection integrity.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Could you comment on the idea that the president today
0:13:49 > 0:13:51called Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on winning his
0:13:51 > 0:13:59election?
0:13:59 > 0:14:09That is all for. Time for lunch.It is the speed of the leak and
0:14:09 > 0:14:15sensitivity that has angered the cheese of staff. Dashed chief of
0:14:15 > 0:14:21staff. Because it came from a close number of people in the Oval Office.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26It seems someone on the national security side did not like the fact
0:14:26 > 0:14:29that resident Trump congratulated Vladimir Putin and wanted it to be
0:14:29 > 0:14:33known they think it is a bad idea. So they went ahead and leaks the
0:14:33 > 0:14:35fact that the president had been briefed not to make that
0:14:35 > 0:14:40congratulatory statement at the beginning of the call. The president
0:14:40 > 0:14:43clearly is going to do exactly what it wants to do and I'm hearing there
0:14:43 > 0:14:47is something of a witchhunt going on inside the White House at the moment
0:14:47 > 0:14:53to try to find out who is responsible. As we've just suggested
0:14:53 > 0:15:01he has quite a lot of headaches at the moment. Legal headaches as well.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02There's the Mueller probe, Congressional investigations
0:15:02 > 0:15:04and then there are the women.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06This week the spotlight has turned on Mr Trump's personal
0:15:06 > 0:15:09life and there seems to be some risk of legal problems.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Here's where we are today.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15The porn star, the Playmate, and reality TV contestant.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Three women putting pressure on Donald Trump.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23Stephanie Clifford goes by the stage name Stormy Daniels.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Stormy is what she could be for the White
0:15:25 > 0:15:29House.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32She says she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36And a few weeks before the 2016 election, his
0:15:36 > 0:15:36lawyer mysteriously paid her $130,000.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Stormy's tough LA lawyer says she was physically threatened
0:15:39 > 0:15:41and warned to keep silent.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Mr Trump denies the relationship.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48But in a polygraph test that she chose to take in 2011,
0:15:48 > 0:15:55she answered, yes, to these questions.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Actually, I'm going to pass on even reading these aloud.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00As Miss Daniels herself recently tweeted, technically, I didn't sleep
0:16:00 > 0:16:02with the POTUS 12 years ago.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05There was no sleeping.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06PS.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm not going anywhere.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Mr Trump was allegedly busy in 2006 because that was the year Karen
0:16:11 > 0:16:13McDougal, a Playboy model, also claims to have been having an affair
0:16:14 > 0:16:20with him.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22In 2016 Miss McDougall was also paid, $150,000, by tabloid
0:16:22 > 0:16:26paper which never published her account of the affair.
0:16:26 > 0:16:33Now Karen McDougal wants a court to declare
0:16:33 > 0:16:36that agreement null and void - she says she was tricked into
0:16:36 > 0:16:37signing it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The third woman is Summer Servos.
0:16:39 > 0:16:49Summer was a contestant on the Apprentice in 2007.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54When, she says, Mr Trump groped her and kissed her against her will.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57The Trump campaign, branded her and other women as liars.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Now she has filed a lawsuit saying that was
0:16:59 > 0:17:00defamation and heard her business.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03On Tuesday, the New York judge dismissed the President's claim that
0:17:03 > 0:17:06he is immune from being sued because he is, well, the president.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It is a heap of possible legal headaches for
0:17:08 > 0:17:10the president and a heap of uncomfortable explaining to his
0:17:10 > 0:17:14wife.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And with us now is Wendy Murphy - a professor
0:17:16 > 0:17:20at the New England School of Law.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26Thank you for joining us. Either legal implications for Donald Trump
0:17:26 > 0:17:37concerning these women?Oh yes. I do not even know where to begin. There
0:17:37 > 0:17:42are two lawsuits filed against him in California. Both of them asking
0:17:42 > 0:17:50not for money but to avoid the contracts that they signed agreeing
0:17:50 > 0:17:56to stay silent about their affairs with him in exchange for money.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Another lawsuit, filed in New York, is a defamation lawsuit and as we
0:18:01 > 0:18:06just heard, the judge has allowed the lawsuit to go forward on the
0:18:06 > 0:18:10grounds that the president just because he's the President, is not
0:18:10 > 0:18:16immune from lawsuits for private conduct. And of course the
0:18:16 > 0:18:22defamation claim alleges private conduct, claims that he made that
0:18:22 > 0:18:28the woman was a liar and publicly at a time when he was knocked President
0:18:28 > 0:18:32of the United States, he said that and that reference to private
0:18:32 > 0:18:37behaviour. So he has tremendous exposure. It remains to be seen...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40If you are advising President Trump at the moment, how nervous do you
0:18:40 > 0:18:54think he should be?I think he has the most significant exposure with
0:18:54 > 0:18:58regards to some laws that are not exactly up front and centre in the
0:18:58 > 0:19:02lawsuit and that has to do with campaign finance laws. In the United
0:19:02 > 0:19:05States there are very strict campaign finance laws that control
0:19:05 > 0:19:15the money that is spent to affect a candidate, to affect his campaign
0:19:15 > 0:19:20and they include money spent for private contracts and private debts.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26So although it has not yet become a problem for the president in a legal
0:19:26 > 0:19:31sense there is a concern that the payments he made to the women to
0:19:31 > 0:19:37keep silent were made for the purpose of influencing his election.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42And his defence thus far which is why it did have not been any charges
0:19:42 > 0:19:44yet, has come from his lawyer Michael Cohen has said publicly
0:19:44 > 0:19:50earlier in the year that money spent in particular with regards to Stormy
0:19:50 > 0:19:58Daniels, would have been spent in of his candidacy. If that is true then
0:19:58 > 0:20:02there will not be a campaign finance violation problem. But the more
0:20:02 > 0:20:10money he has spent...I was just going to say, for Bill Clinton it
0:20:10 > 0:20:14was not so much to be a fair about the lie. And here comes the problem,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17if the special Counsel sits down with him and if he goes down this
0:20:17 > 0:20:23line of questioning and says did Michael Cohen handover money for a
0:20:23 > 0:20:27nondisclosure agreement, he has to answer the question and in that
0:20:27 > 0:20:35situation it is a Catch-22.Yes and that was going to be my second point
0:20:35 > 0:20:38about his legal exposure that we have not yet seen. The so-called
0:20:38 > 0:20:42perjury trap because remember the president has already said publicly
0:20:42 > 0:20:49that he did not have affairs with these women and the woman who is
0:20:49 > 0:20:53accused him of sexual assault is lying. So he is on record as having
0:20:53 > 0:20:59disclaimed those reports and if he does have to submit to a deposition
0:20:59 > 0:21:04or answer questions in discovery, the discovery process during any of
0:21:04 > 0:21:08these lawsuits, he will be in a very difficult position. And if he lies
0:21:08 > 0:21:15under oath that is itself a crime, a prosecutable crime. You can lie to
0:21:15 > 0:21:21the public, that is not a crime but you cannot lie under oath.Thank you
0:21:21 > 0:21:29very much for joining us.Everyone is saying to me here, three civil
0:21:29 > 0:21:32lawsuits, president facing allegations of extramarital sex,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36sexual harassment, threatening behaviour, if this were other
0:21:36 > 0:21:40president, he would be in serious trouble.Yes and there are quite
0:21:40 > 0:21:44right, he would be and this would be the story that dominated every
0:21:44 > 0:21:52headline in the country for weeks. Just as it did with Bill Clinton.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55But they did not elect him as a paragon of virtue.They knew what
0:21:55 > 0:21:58they were getting and even evangelicals in the country signed
0:21:58 > 0:22:02up to what they're getting and I think Donald Trump is counting on
0:22:02 > 0:22:05that. They knew what they were getting, and so people will not turn
0:22:05 > 0:22:11against me. The issue is that Donald Trump, his support among women and
0:22:11 > 0:22:15particularly amongst white college educated women, has collapsed since
0:22:15 > 0:22:21the last election, it has slumped. But more voted for him than Hillary
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Clinton.That is true but that has reversed now and he is negative with
0:22:25 > 0:22:29these women. If they hear the story that he had affairs with all these
0:22:29 > 0:22:33women and not just affairs but had affair just after his own wife had
0:22:33 > 0:22:38given birth to their child, I do not know. I'm not sure how well that
0:22:38 > 0:22:43would go down with a lot of married women. It is sensitive timing, I do
0:22:43 > 0:22:47not think they will like that. I think it could be a political
0:22:47 > 0:22:52problem for him. Some other news of the day.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Boko Haram militants have reportedly returned most
0:22:53 > 0:22:56of the schoolgirls abducted in northeast Nigeria in February.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Parents say the insurgents drove into the town of Dapchi
0:22:58 > 0:23:01in a convoy and dropped off at least 76 students outside the school.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Local media is reporting the girls are "exhausted and underfed".
0:23:04 > 0:23:14It's feared five of the 110 students kidnapped may have died.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Members of Kosovo's opposition party have thrown tear
0:23:16 > 0:23:18gas canisters in parliament, to try to stop a controversial
0:23:18 > 0:23:19vote going ahead.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21MPs were about to vote on a border agreement
0:23:21 > 0:23:23with Montenegro, which would help Kosovo gain visa-free travel
0:23:23 > 0:23:25to the European Union, but the opposition party
0:23:25 > 0:23:26is against it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's not the first time they've used tear gas
0:23:29 > 0:23:32in parliament to stop the vote - other protests have lead to street
0:23:32 > 0:23:42clashes with police.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Here's a question...let's just say you made an expensive
0:23:48 > 0:23:50purchase, charged it to your employer and then
0:23:50 > 0:23:53publicly blamed your wife - how popular would you be at home?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Because that's exactly how Ben Carson, the United States Secretary
0:23:56 > 0:23:58of Housing and Urban Development, has defended the purchase
0:23:58 > 0:24:05of a 31,000 dollar dining set for his office.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Mr Carson has said that he left it up to his wife Candy
0:24:08 > 0:24:10to pick out the furniture, which includes a table,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12chairs and sideboard.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Officials from Mr Carson's department have said
0:24:16 > 0:24:18the pre-existing table was 50 years old, falling apart and
0:24:18 > 0:24:22unable to be repaired.
0:24:22 > 0:24:29I have some sympathy for him, not for throwing his wife under the
0:24:29 > 0:24:33proverbial bus but in my household, I'm not actually on the acquisitions
0:24:33 > 0:24:39committee. I am a on the budget committee in a consultative role,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42but it has been set in our household when it comes to soft furnishings,
0:24:42 > 0:24:52it is not my strong suit.I think I am with your wife on that.Ben
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Carson is not your favourite person. I'm not popular with Ben Carson.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Let's take a quick trip down memory line. The real reason women who have
0:25:03 > 0:25:07been sexually abused and come forward to talk about the stories is
0:25:07 > 0:25:10precisely this, but all too often they are accused of being liars. Are
0:25:10 > 0:25:16you saying these are dying?That is your characterisation because you
0:25:16 > 0:25:23need to characterise it that way to try to make me the bad guy.It is a
0:25:23 > 0:25:33question.Stop, stop. Can you turn her microphone off?I'm just going
0:25:33 > 0:25:37to turn your microphone off!
0:25:37 > 0:25:43This is Beyond 100 Days from the BBC.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Coming up for viewers on the BBC News Channel
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and BBC World News...
0:25:48 > 0:25:53The European Commission has proposed that large tech companies should pay
0:25:53 > 0:25:57but the call of their share of tax for the EU countries would collect
0:25:57 > 0:26:01tax on profits generated within their territories regardless of
0:26:01 > 0:26:04where a company is actually headquartered according to the new
0:26:04 > 0:26:04plan.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08That's still to come.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Over the next few days it looks like the weather will be mostly behaving
0:26:15 > 0:26:20in cell. There will be some rain around but no surprises on the
0:26:20 > 0:26:26horizon. On the short term no frost on the way tonight for most. This
0:26:26 > 0:26:31morning we had a frost and Thursday morning is likely to look different.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36You can see the clouds lifting out of the South, a south westerly wind
0:26:36 > 0:26:43blowing in our direction. So remaining quite mild into Thursday.
0:26:43 > 0:26:50Friday looks as if it is going to cold of a little bit. -- to cool
0:26:50 > 0:26:54off. As far as Wednesday night into Thursday's concerned a lot of dry
0:26:54 > 0:27:01weather. Just the chance that across some south-western areas there could
0:27:01 > 0:27:04be some frost out in the countryside. That is ready much it
0:27:04 > 0:27:08for most of us Thursday morning temperatures hovering around five or
0:27:08 > 0:27:126 degrees. Potentially even 7 degrees across eastern parts of
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Scotland. Belfast, around 4 degrees breast thing. This is what we expect
0:27:17 > 0:27:21to happen during the morning, the cloud increasing across western
0:27:21 > 0:27:28areas. We expect rain in Belfast at the time we get to the early
0:27:28 > 0:27:34afternoon. Some rain also in the Western Isles. But the bulk of the
0:27:34 > 0:27:40country should have a fine day. Hazy skies and temperatures getting up to
0:27:40 > 0:27:45around 12 or 13 degrees. The jet stream keeps on moving weather
0:27:45 > 0:27:50systems in our direction. This illustrates what the jet stream is,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54you have the warm and the cold side. The cold air always to the north. We
0:27:54 > 0:27:59will have temporarily some milder weather on Thursday. Maybe slightly
0:27:59 > 0:28:03cooler heading into Friday. That shift in the wind direction coming
0:28:03 > 0:28:07out of the North West. So maybe some wintry showers across the hills of
0:28:07 > 0:28:14Scotland. And single figure temperatures. In the south in the
0:28:14 > 0:28:17sunshine temperatures around 12 degrees. Saturday a lot of bright
0:28:17 > 0:28:24weather, hazy across much of England but sunshine around as well. The
0:28:24 > 0:28:27showers continue across Scotland, some of those wintry across the
0:28:27 > 0:28:31hills. That is very much it. Thanks for watching.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22lawmakers demand answers over how personal data from 50 million users
0:30:22 > 0:30:29was accessed by Cambridge Analytica.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I think part of the challenge that we've had with some witnesses
0:30:32 > 0:30:34is that they've not been honest and they've not been candid,
0:30:34 > 0:30:42and they've played hide the ball.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Bridgen's foreign Secretary has agreed that Russia's World Cup this
0:30:45 > 0:30:50year will be like Adolf Hitler's Olympics. Said it was silly to think
0:30:50 > 0:30:59of climate to Putin glorified in the World Cup. And still to come in the
0:30:59 > 0:31:00next half-hour.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03The bomber who terrorised Austin, Texas for weeks is believed to have
0:31:03 > 0:31:04been 23-year-old Mark Anthony Conditt.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Police say he detonated a device inside his car

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Officials say the measures are to ensure digital companies
0:31:21 > 0:31:22pay their fair share of tax.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33To Texas now, and the man accused of a string of deadly bomb
0:31:33 > 0:31:34attacks in Austin is dead.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36He was killed by one of his own devices, detonating it
0:31:36 > 0:31:39as police closed in on the side of a highway.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40He was a 23-year-old unemployed Texan man.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Police don't know why he was planting bombs
0:31:42 > 0:31:44in parcels around Austin, and they don't know
0:31:44 > 0:31:47what he was doing in the 24 hours before his death.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51They are warning there could still be undetonated bombs out there.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53As a precaution, all buildings within a five block radius
0:31:53 > 0:31:55around his home are being evacuated.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Here's our correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Police closed in on the suspected bomber in the early hours,
0:32:01 > 0:32:07tracking him down to a hotel north of Austin.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Whilst they waited for extra back-up, he drove off and then
0:32:10 > 0:32:15pulled into a ditch at the sight of the road.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21As the police approached his car, he set off another bomb.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23As members of the Boston Police Department SWAT team
0:32:23 > 0:32:24approached the vehicle, the suspect detonated
0:32:24 > 0:32:27a bomb inside the vehicle.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Knocking one of our SWAT officers back, and one of our SWAT officers
0:32:30 > 0:32:34fired at the suspect as well.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36The suspect is deceased, and has significant injuries
0:32:36 > 0:32:38from a blast that occurred from detonating a bomb
0:32:38 > 0:32:44inside his vehicle.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48CCTV in the past couple of days appears to show the man believed
0:32:48 > 0:32:51to be the suspect dropping off a package at a FedEx office
0:32:51 > 0:32:52in Southwest Austin.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55He has not been named officially, but thought to be a 23-year-old
0:32:55 > 0:33:01called Mark Anthony Conditt.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07He lived in Pflugerville, just outside the city.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09A school friend of the suspect I spoke to didn't want to be
0:33:09 > 0:33:16identified. What she said he seemed like a normal boy.I would
0:33:16 > 0:33:19definitely say that I am completely surprised. I wouldn't have been this
0:33:19 > 0:33:21shocked if it was somebody that I didn't know, but seeing that this is
0:33:21 > 0:33:25someone who I share memories with, even though it is just a little bit,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28is really crazy to me. I just know that regardless of his personal
0:33:28 > 0:33:32reasoning, it wasn't active evil and it is not excusable -- it wasn't
0:33:32 > 0:33:35active evil.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Since the beginning of the month, there have been six separate bombs,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42five of which had its budget.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Two men have died, and half a dozen have suffered serious injuries.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46A number are still in hospital.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Police do not know the motive of this bombing spree that
0:33:50 > 0:33:52has terrorised Austin for the last three weeks.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57They are also telling the public that they don't know
0:33:57 > 0:33:59where the suspect has been in the last 24 hours,
0:33:59 > 0:34:03so there could still be devices out there.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Gary O'Donoghue, BBC News, Austin, Texas.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08After reports of Cambridge Analytica's use of Facebook
0:34:08 > 0:34:10user data came to light, the DeleteFacebook hashtag
0:34:10 > 0:34:11started to gain traction.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Not a huge surprise, perhaps.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17But then Brian Acton tweeted this.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20"It is time.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Hashtag delete facebook."
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Mr Acton isn't just any twitter user.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24he's the co-founder of Whatsapp, the company Facebook bought
0:34:25 > 0:34:32in 2014 for $19 billion.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35So if its time for him, is it time for the rest of us?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Let's get the thoughts of Paul Bernal, a lecturer
0:34:37 > 0:34:38in Information Technology, Intellectual Property
0:34:38 > 0:34:41and Media Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Good to see you. Lots of people asking me on to my timeline today
0:34:44 > 0:34:47how we go about elites in our personal information, should we want
0:34:47 > 0:34:53to? Is it that easy?No. Facebook doesn't make it easy for you at all.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56I have been campaigning for people to consider at least leaving
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Facebook for more than five years because actually what has happened
0:35:00 > 0:35:03is, it shouldn't be a surprise, if you've been paying attention to the
0:35:03 > 0:35:08way that Facebook's business model works. We shouldn't think of this
0:35:08 > 0:35:14just in terms one event of Cambridge Analytica manipulating data. This is
0:35:14 > 0:35:18in essence how Facebook's business model works. It profiles. It
0:35:18 > 0:35:22analyses. It targets had been and try to manipulate you. Usually
0:35:22 > 0:35:26manipulating you to buy a different product or use a different service.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31But actually the mechanism is the same as for political manipulation.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33So yes, I would say people should be considering deleting Facebook from
0:35:33 > 0:35:38their system. The Facebook obviously don't like that. And they make a
0:35:38 > 0:35:43really rather difficult. You have to follow a series of menus. They first
0:35:43 > 0:35:46make you Diack the faded and think about it for another 14 days. And
0:35:46 > 0:35:52then finally when you press delete it takes a never mind for it to go.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56But they do provide a mechanism. It's not just what is on your
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Facebook profile. I was reading today about an Austrian privacy
0:36:00 > 0:36:04advocate, and he made an application to Facebook in 2011 and they have
0:36:04 > 0:36:08records, 1200 files in fact, of all the IP addresses of the machine CD
0:36:08 > 0:36:13used to access the site. A full history of messages and chats, his
0:36:13 > 0:36:15location, even the items that he thought he deleted were on this
0:36:15 > 0:36:19file. So they have everything.Yes, they have everything. They have much
0:36:19 > 0:36:23more than that as well. You have to understand, they don't just have the
0:36:23 > 0:36:27information that you put up about yourself or the information that
0:36:27 > 0:36:31they can mark out. For example they keep all the information about
0:36:31 > 0:36:35exactly which device you have used to log onto Facebook, when, which
0:36:35 > 0:36:38version of the software you're using, all of that kind of stuff.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42But they also have the information they can derive from that. And they
0:36:42 > 0:36:45can work out all kinds of things. That is part of the biggest Raval
0:36:45 > 0:36:51here. The sophistication of big data analysis. It now means they can
0:36:51 > 0:36:54derive all kinds of stuff about you from the most mundane information.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57You may think you are just answering a few questions about which products
0:36:57 > 0:37:02you like. They're able to derive about your sexuality, your religion,
0:37:02 > 0:37:07your political opinions and things like that. You might be able to
0:37:07 > 0:37:10delete some of that, but some of it remains. And also other people put
0:37:10 > 0:37:14up information about you. I don't have a Facebook account, but my
0:37:14 > 0:37:19relatives do.Yeah.So your relatives are putting up information
0:37:19 > 0:37:22about you. I was tempted to delete my Facebook account when Christian
0:37:22 > 0:37:26decided that he was not going to accept me as a friend, which was a
0:37:26 > 0:37:32very difficult day for me. We are all cut it, or should.My two
0:37:32 > 0:37:38followers are going to miss me.-- we are all gutted, Christine. Do you
0:37:38 > 0:37:42think Facebook should be broken up? Yes, I think in the end that is
0:37:42 > 0:37:45going to be the only solution. But it is very hard to do. It is a
0:37:45 > 0:37:50double-edged sword here because I want level it is the way that
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Facebook puts everything together that is the main attraction of it.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55And then if you don't have it all in one place it is not the same thing
0:37:55 > 0:38:00at all. And we cannot forget that Facebook is an incredibly useful
0:38:00 > 0:38:04tool in a lot of ways for a lot of people. So it is easy for some
0:38:04 > 0:38:08people were in a relatively privileged position to say yes, I
0:38:08 > 0:38:12can delete Facebook. I didn't deal with things in other ways. But in
0:38:12 > 0:38:15some places it is much harder to do that and for some people who are
0:38:15 > 0:38:18more isolated or who run businesses, it is much harder to do so. So what
0:38:18 > 0:38:24we have to do is find a way to make Facebook work without doing quite so
0:38:24 > 0:38:30much damage to us. How we do that is going to be very, very hard. Because
0:38:30 > 0:38:34there are conflicting motives or different regulators. In America for
0:38:34 > 0:38:38example political speech is protected. How can you stop them
0:38:38 > 0:38:42doing political ads was backwards in the UK, political ads are highly
0:38:42 > 0:38:47regulated.Must leave you there. Thank you very much.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49If you're worried about the security of your information on Facebook
0:38:49 > 0:38:52we have some advice on how to keep it safe.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Just go to our website at bbC.com/news, where technology
0:38:54 > 0:38:56reporter, Jane Wakefiled, outlines the steps you can take
0:38:56 > 0:38:59to protect your data.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I've been looking at it today and it's well worth the read. Go and
0:39:02 > 0:39:06have a look at that.I thought I was fascinating as you have deleted
0:39:06 > 0:39:09yours, but everybody you know who still has you on Facebook still has
0:39:09 > 0:39:13information about you. It is really hard to get this out of the system.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Dubious election tactics aren't the only issue tech companies
0:39:16 > 0:39:17are dealing with right now.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Amazon, Google and Facebook have been accused of shifting profits
0:39:19 > 0:39:22around the world to take advantage of tax havens, or low
0:39:22 > 0:39:25tax jurisdictions.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28In Europe, they have paid a fraction of the profit they have earned,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30and the EU has had enough.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Today the Commission outlined plans for a digital tax.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36In future, tax will be raised according to where the companies'
0:39:36 > 0:39:38users are based not where the company is based.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42It will take time to design such a tax, so in the meantime the EU
0:39:42 > 0:39:45will introduce a 3% levy on those tech companies with global
0:39:45 > 0:39:46revenues over $900 million.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47The European commissioner responsible for taxation
0:39:47 > 0:39:52is Pierre Moscovici.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54There's no physical presence, so the result is that as far
0:39:54 > 0:39:57as we know, those companies a something like 9% on tax,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00while the rest of space 23%, and there is a problem of level
0:40:00 > 0:40:02playing field, a problem of fairness and equity there,
0:40:02 > 0:40:11and it cannot go on that way.
0:40:11 > 0:40:19Those companies need to pay their fair share of tax.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Should say before we go to our next topic...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Our Economics Editors is in Brussels for the announcement.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Mark Zuckerberg who has been a wall has just said the company has made
0:40:29 > 0:40:33mistakes on the hemorrhaging political situation. He is very much
0:40:33 > 0:40:35involved incidentally in the background to rectifying the
0:40:35 > 0:40:38problems, but he has not made a public appearance, but he has just
0:40:38 > 0:40:41said we did make mistakes when he came to Cambridge Analytica. There
0:40:41 > 0:40:44will be a lot of people who said it wasn't just that particular company
0:40:44 > 0:40:52either. Let's go to Brussels. Good to see you. The digital tracks, the
0:40:52 > 0:40:55point that Pierre is making here is that they are trying to protect
0:40:55 > 0:40:59their tax base in Europe. They have tax loss which really fitted the
0:40:59 > 0:41:06last century.Right. Tags was really built from the 20th century, to tax
0:41:06 > 0:41:09businesses in terms of where they were physically -based, literally
0:41:09 > 0:41:13bricks and mortar. So if a business was headquartered in a company you
0:41:13 > 0:41:16went and bought things from them. It was pretty obvious what their
0:41:16 > 0:41:20business was. When your business is algorithms, data, intellectual
0:41:20 > 0:41:26property, that means that taxing those 11 more intangible assets as
0:41:26 > 0:41:32their caught is much harder. Really the companies like Google and
0:41:32 > 0:41:38Facebook, they pay their taxes where their products were invented, were
0:41:38 > 0:41:42developed, so for those two companies in the main in America.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47They follow all the tax rules as they always make clear. The European
0:41:47 > 0:41:51commission, Pierre, has put these details on the table today, and
0:41:51 > 0:41:57wants to rip up those rules. As you say, they are now looking at taxing
0:41:57 > 0:42:01activity. So where the users actually are, and where the
0:42:01 > 0:42:07advertising revenue is created. This will be a huge step change in the
0:42:07 > 0:42:11way that businesses are taxed around the world. Quite hard to define what
0:42:11 > 0:42:14is a digital business as opposed to what is a non-digital business. But
0:42:14 > 0:42:20clearly in their sites is Google, Facebook. And this data issue, very
0:42:20 > 0:42:27much goes alongside in terms of trust, this tax issue that these
0:42:27 > 0:42:30companies have gained a huge amount from our data, from our use of their
0:42:30 > 0:42:38products across Europe. But as Pierre says, they haven't paid as
0:42:38 > 0:42:42what he describes their fair share. It's time to build up that tax base,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45not just the income taxpayer but you and me who should pay the taxes, but
0:42:45 > 0:42:50the businesses themselves.You are a guy who can think on his feet. I
0:42:50 > 0:42:54know this, I have spoken to you many times. I move for you right in
0:42:54 > 0:42:57there. Mark Zuckerberg, part of his statement that he has just released
0:42:57 > 0:42:59he says that the most important actions to prevent this from
0:42:59 > 0:43:04happening again today, we have already taken years ago. That is
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Mark Zuckerberg releasing a statement just a few minutes ago.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11You study businesses your whole career. You know the key thing in
0:43:11 > 0:43:14this kind of thing is to handle a crisis well, to get the
0:43:14 > 0:43:17communications right. Does Mark Zuckerberg putting up a statement
0:43:17 > 0:43:23now help Facebook get this problem? Certainly will help. It is
0:43:23 > 0:43:27interesting, interviewed Mark Zuckerberg this time last year. When
0:43:27 > 0:43:31he bought out if your member that big manifesto, heal the world
0:43:31 > 0:43:34manifesto, he wanted to go around all the states of America to have
0:43:34 > 0:43:39these discussions with people. I think for Facebook, for Google, for
0:43:39 > 0:43:45all the companies they found it very difficult to handle their huge
0:43:45 > 0:43:51growth. Facebook is a company younger than my 14-year-old son.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54That is the astonishing phenomenon we are talking about. They are sort
0:43:54 > 0:44:00of rising the rule book themselves as they go along. Governments and
0:44:00 > 0:44:05religious have really found it difficult to keep up with these
0:44:05 > 0:44:09companies in or miss growth and the change in the way we communicate and
0:44:09 > 0:44:13in the information we see. It certainly is a help that Mark
0:44:13 > 0:44:18Zuckerberg is coming out today, tonight in California and saying,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22"Yes, mistakes have been made, we have tried to act." But there is a
0:44:22 > 0:44:26faith here and companies like Zuckerberg. In companies like
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Facebook. That the community in the end will get to the right
0:44:29 > 0:44:34conclusion. Frankly governments and regulators say that is too slow. It
0:44:34 > 0:44:38can no longer be left to you to decide what the rule book is. We are
0:44:38 > 0:44:42going to try and take control of this. Not just on data, but on tax
0:44:42 > 0:44:47as well. These are the big two toxic issues. Many critics would say
0:44:47 > 0:44:53Zuckerberg, Google, Amazon, all the other big global digital layers,
0:44:53 > 0:44:58simply being too slow to understand that yes they bought a lot of good
0:44:58 > 0:45:03to be world, but they haven't done enough to control their behaviour.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06You see, I knew I could throw you in it. I knew you would be able to
0:45:06 > 0:45:10handle that just fine. You hadn't heard the statement, but you are you
0:45:10 > 0:45:14so much for joining us.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19Let's see if that enough. Going back to the digital tax. I will be in
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Brussels tomorrow for the programme for the European Council meeting.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Apparently he's been talking to Steve Manu gene and the Treasury
0:45:26 > 0:45:30Secretary over there because they are concerned that when they start
0:45:30 > 0:45:33talking about taxing tech companies they are talking about taxing
0:45:33 > 0:45:36American companies. And they are very concerned that this will be
0:45:36 > 0:45:39seen as a tit-for-tat after the steel and aluminium tax which they
0:45:39 > 0:45:42will discuss tomorrow. We get into a bit of that. This will he seemed as
0:45:42 > 0:45:47them trying the bows in the direction of Washington.You're
0:45:47 > 0:45:50right, something American companies by the way make a point of telling
0:45:50 > 0:45:55us a lot.
0:45:55 > 0:46:01Federal Reserve bank has just handed down it's decision to raise interest
0:46:01 > 0:46:04rates by 0.25%, the first raise of the year.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06That decision will increase the cost of borrowing money
0:46:06 > 0:46:07for people around the world.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10It was announced by Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve's new chairman.
0:46:10 > 0:46:11Our correspondent Kim Gittleson is at the Federal
0:46:11 > 0:46:15Reserve in Washington.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18The Federal Reserve has been moving in this direction for a while. They
0:46:18 > 0:46:22clearly feel the American economy is doing better. Just to run power have
0:46:22 > 0:46:26a concern that if he raises interest rate they put a damper on the
0:46:26 > 0:46:29economy?Central bankers don't like any surprises. This move has been
0:46:29 > 0:46:32telegraphed for sometime now. Investors knew they be raising
0:46:32 > 0:46:36interest rates. Most of the work thing attention to the Fed
0:46:36 > 0:46:39projections to figure out if they were raising interest rates three
0:46:39 > 0:46:44times or four times this year. The media and the press conference
0:46:44 > 0:46:49Pastor Mr Powell was questions. Frankly the Fred was quite split.
0:46:49 > 0:46:54Eight members in favour of three increases this year. Seven in favour
0:46:54 > 0:46:57for increases. Mr Powell would not answer questions, saying that that
0:46:57 > 0:47:00was showing the array range of opinions and investors should be
0:47:00 > 0:47:03paying attention to economic fundamentals and that will give them
0:47:03 > 0:47:06guidance about what the Fed is going to do into the future.Three or four
0:47:06 > 0:47:08times this year. It makes a difference.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12Thank you very much for coming. Sounds arcane, but that can have a
0:47:12 > 0:47:16huge impact on the global economy. Great to have him with us. This is
0:47:16 > 0:47:24Beyond 100 Days and still to come.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26Still to come, a spring snow storm has hit the north east of America
0:47:26 > 0:47:30and I've been out in the blizzard, I'll show you some of the scenes
0:47:30 > 0:47:32right here in Washington.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34More than a million NHS workers in England can expect pay rises
0:47:34 > 0:47:38if they agree to a deal struck between most unions and ministers.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41It follows a pay cap imposed for the last five years
0:47:41 > 0:47:44and a pay freeze before that.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Porters.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Paramedics.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Nurses, who care for millions of patients.
0:47:55 > 0:48:05The staff who keep the NHS going are finally to have a bigger pay rise.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11THEY CHANT: Scrap the cap!
0:48:11 > 0:48:13For five years, there have been calls to do just that.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Aside from some automatic rises, the limit on public-sector pay
0:48:16 > 0:48:17increases of 1% meant wages fell behind.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care,
0:48:20 > 0:48:21Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23And the election left the Tories in no doubt about the irritation.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25So...
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Today's agreement on a new pay deal reflects public appreciation
0:48:27 > 0:48:37for just how much they have done and continue to do.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Rarely has a pay raise been so well-deserved for NHS staff,
0:48:42 > 0:48:43who have never worked harder.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46When a nurse pleaded with the Prime Minister for a pay
0:48:46 > 0:48:48rise on national television, she was told there was
0:48:48 > 0:48:57no magic money tree.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00So, can he tell us how this pay rise will be paid for?
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Has the Prime Minister's horticultural skills grown
0:49:02 > 0:49:03said magic money tree?
0:49:03 > 0:49:06Taxpayers' money for the rises will come from the Treasury to start
0:49:06 > 0:49:08with, not out of existing health budgets, so the big
0:49:08 > 0:49:14unions are on board.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16But staff still have to approve the deal.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19And with inflation, it might not make up the difference.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Perhaps for NHS staff in England, these rises can't come fast enough.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Remember, limits on pay have been in place for years -
0:49:24 > 0:49:28part of the Conservatives' efforts to balance the nation's books.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29But public money will still be tight.
0:49:29 > 0:49:39This is an easing of a squeeze, not the end.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45If you are just joining us we have had in the last minute or so a
0:49:45 > 0:49:48statement from Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook. Just going through
0:49:48 > 0:49:52the statement because it is a long posting to put on the Facebook
0:49:52 > 0:49:58website. Let me pick up the things that he is saying about past
0:49:58 > 0:50:00problems, he says "We will investigate all apps better access
0:50:00 > 0:50:03to large amounts of information before we change our platform to
0:50:03 > 0:50:07dramatically reduce data access in 2014, and will conduct a full audit
0:50:07 > 0:50:11of any app with suspicious activity" and he goes on to say that they are
0:50:11 > 0:50:14on to get in touch with anybody who lost their data or if data was
0:50:14 > 0:50:21passed onto third party apps. They will be informed.We put this on the
0:50:21 > 0:50:27screen earlier but unless you heard, eyesight is a lot better. It is very
0:50:27 > 0:50:31long. On his Facebook page. He says that they have dealt with problems
0:50:31 > 0:50:37already. That were the kinds of problems that led to the Cambridge
0:50:37 > 0:50:41Analytica getting hold of the Facebook data for millions of users.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45The question is going to be for Facebook, is this going to do my.
0:50:45 > 0:50:51Slide share price. As said earlier on the programme this is about trust
0:50:51 > 0:50:56and actually whether people will have enough trust in the system.OK,
0:50:56 > 0:50:57now...
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Political aides play a crucial role in the smooth running of government.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03And so it makes perfect sense that Downing Street is offering
0:51:03 > 0:51:05lessons in spinning, no, not the exercise classes,
0:51:05 > 0:51:08we're talking about good PR.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10A document leaked from within government reveals one of these
0:51:10 > 0:51:13first training sessions will be titled "Working With Number ten".
0:51:13 > 0:51:23Advising politicians how to avoid the pitfalls is crucial.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Though not so easy in the case of Donald Trump.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Yesterday ahead of his call with Vladimir Putin,
0:51:36 > 0:51:38aides had written on his security briefing: "do NOT CONGRATULATE".
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Not only did he praise Mr Putin he also forgot to mention
0:51:42 > 0:51:42the poisoning in Salisbury.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Here to help us make sense of it all, is the Times
0:51:45 > 0:51:46columnist Matt Chorley.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Picked this up this morning and written about it. Why is it
0:51:49 > 0:51:51happening now? They have been in power for two years, the main
0:51:51 > 0:51:53government. It seems they are going back all the way to induction
0:51:53 > 0:51:56classes.They are, circulating photos of each other. So they can
0:51:56 > 0:52:00all learn each other's names. First day of school. What is the reason my
0:52:00 > 0:52:03coming you could say the Tories have been in government for eight years.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Part of it is because it has pink like a queer out. There was a big
0:52:07 > 0:52:09clear out when David Cameron left and Theresa May came in. Another
0:52:09 > 0:52:15part of the disastrous election in June last year. Actually the
0:52:15 > 0:52:18collective knowledge that you would normally get in a government has
0:52:18 > 0:52:23evaporated and many ways. Quite a lot of people now in government who
0:52:23 > 0:52:26didn't come up through opposition and having been around the corridors
0:52:26 > 0:52:30of power for that long. Don't really know how it works. How does the
0:52:30 > 0:52:33government department work. The trouble is one you put something
0:52:33 > 0:52:41down about in school, somebody that makes it to people like me which
0:52:41 > 0:52:47makes the first rule of spads school is that you probably shouldn't be...
0:52:47 > 0:52:52Talking about spads school!Let's say you are giving the goals and
0:52:52 > 0:52:55opportunity of working as an aid in the White House. How would you
0:52:55 > 0:53:01manage this president?Golden opportunity? I think...Like Marco
0:53:01 > 0:53:08Tucker.The problem is, we have got this with Jeremy Corbyn in the UK as
0:53:08 > 0:53:10well. This problem of politicians who are beyond spin and control and
0:53:10 > 0:53:17the conventional rules of, this is how we got about which is why people
0:53:17 > 0:53:23love them. When you got a president who's got all these briefings and
0:53:23 > 0:53:26ignores them, does his own thing. Bridgen on a block capitals, do not
0:53:26 > 0:53:30congratulate him, there is a risk that the only thing he remembers is
0:53:30 > 0:53:39the word congratulate. No amount of spin or minds to take or briefings
0:53:39 > 0:53:44or PR experts laying down a plane can compete with a president who has
0:53:44 > 0:53:49got Twitter close to hand back and just basically say all those plans
0:53:49 > 0:53:52are coming out. Maybe it is not even worth bothering.I would love to be
0:53:52 > 0:53:59a fly on the wall at spads school. See what they did.Naturally. Thank
0:53:59 > 0:54:04you very much for joining us. That was great. Managing Donald Trump,
0:54:04 > 0:54:06who would take on that task.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09You've been talking a lot about how the weather has been terrible in
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Britain recently.
0:54:11 > 0:54:16Luckily here, it is March. And that always means it is very nice. So I
0:54:16 > 0:54:20went outside to take a look at what it is really like.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22So, Christian, it's the second day of spring in Washington.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Always my favourite time of year.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28I spent the weekend getting my garden ready to plant pansies.
0:54:28 > 0:54:29I put my sweaters away.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Soon there'll be the cherry blossoms, really excited about that.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33The only problem, mother nature doesn't seem
0:54:33 > 0:54:35to have got the message.
0:54:35 > 0:54:42Look, it is snowing in Washington.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44We've been out in a blizzard all day.
0:54:44 > 0:54:45The federal government is shut.
0:54:45 > 0:54:46My kids don't have school.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47This is not spring.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49I think it's still winter.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51They called it this morning. I was watching one of the American
0:54:51 > 0:54:59networks. They called it The Great Slop because there is lots of it,
0:54:59 > 0:55:03but it is not speaking. It is slushy.Every weather storm has to
0:55:03 > 0:55:06have a name I now. The one I heard in Washington that this was called
0:55:06 > 0:55:15storm Daniels.Excellent.Get it?I get it. Yeah. Shall I show you a
0:55:15 > 0:55:20picture of the Pope just before we go.Go on.It's been windy at
0:55:20 > 0:55:27Vatican City today. Someone has got fish wire on the top. Lid off. I
0:55:27 > 0:55:31feel a bit sorry for the Pope because he keeps having these were
0:55:31 > 0:55:36drug crises. There you go, just over the back of the chair. As he keeps
0:55:36 > 0:55:42having these wardrobe crises. This happens quite a bit. There is a bit
0:55:42 > 0:55:46of elastic around the top.You do realise no one is listening to you.
0:55:46 > 0:55:56I mean, like, nobody.All we are watching is the picture. Can we put
0:55:56 > 0:56:00that on loop? Can we go out on the Pope with his hat right off one
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Lukas because no one actually wants to listen to anything else.He is a
0:56:02 > 0:56:04good sport.
