:00:00. > :00:09.A week in office, and looking strong on the world stage.
:00:10. > :00:11.We should strive for a solution which respects the decision
:00:12. > :00:13.of British voters, but also respects the interests of our
:00:14. > :00:20.Theresa May, a week in office, looking strong in the Commons.
:00:21. > :00:23.In my years in this house, I've long heard the Labour Party
:00:24. > :00:27.asking what the Conservative Party does for women.
:00:28. > :00:36.It just keeps making us Prime Minister!
:00:37. > :00:38.A week in office, and very much in power.
:00:39. > :00:40.No one doubts it's been a good start.
:00:41. > :00:42.But we're getting the first hints of policy now, and plenty
:00:43. > :00:48.We'll ask if it's likely to be plain sailing from here on out.
:00:49. > :00:55.While the government says it's confident the trouble is over,
:00:56. > :01:00.We've got a water cannon here in case presumably
:01:01. > :01:03.of crowd disturbances, and they've also brought dozens
:01:04. > :01:20.And why there are fewer songs in the Top 40 these days.
:01:21. > :01:24.When John Major came to power back in 1990,
:01:25. > :01:28.uniting a divided Tory party, his MPs cheered wildly.
:01:29. > :01:31.A fresh face, able to rise above the splits of the past.
:01:32. > :01:35.Until they weren't, a year or two later.
:01:36. > :01:37.Well, let's take stock of where Theresa May stands
:01:38. > :01:43.Everyone in the Tory party is happy, and many beyond it too.
:01:44. > :01:46.When she arrived in Germany this afternoon, the optics -
:01:47. > :01:49.to use a ghastly spinmeister word - the impression left by her
:01:50. > :01:54.and Angela Merkel together was undeniably one of calm authority.
:01:55. > :01:56.And her first outing at Prime Minister's Questions
:01:57. > :01:59.earlier today played to brilliant reviews as well.
:02:00. > :02:02.We knew she could be brutal - from the way she sacked
:02:03. > :02:08.But did we know she could adopt a Thatcherite wit?
:02:09. > :02:12.I suspect that there are many members on the opposition benches
:02:13. > :02:15.who might be familiar with an unscrupulous boss.
:02:16. > :02:20.A boss who doesn't listen to his workers.
:02:21. > :02:22.A boss who requires some of his workers to
:02:23. > :02:32.And maybe even a boss who exploits the rules to further his own career.
:02:33. > :02:44.Labour MPs on occasion literally had head in hands.
:02:45. > :02:50.Well, it's a good time to look for hints of
:02:51. > :02:56.The migration target, which we are not in line to hit.
:02:57. > :03:01.Is it possible that the Europe split in the Tory party has not been
:03:02. > :03:06.We've now moved the argument from membership, to one about
:03:07. > :03:16.Will the Prime Minister make my day special by saying she is prepared
:03:17. > :03:21.to reject staying in the single regulated market and offering
:03:22. > :03:27.instead to our friends in Europe a free trade deal very much
:03:28. > :03:36.The Prime Minister evidently wanted to stall on answering that -
:03:37. > :03:39.a traditional way of kicking the can down the road
:03:40. > :03:43.We'll get more from Berlin shortly, but let's talk
:03:44. > :03:52.to two of our top team, Nick Watt and Chris Cook.
:03:53. > :03:59.What was your take on PMQs? It was a strong performance. She was
:04:00. > :04:04.authoritative, told the odd joke, and delivered a pretty good put-down
:04:05. > :04:09.to Jeremy Corbyn when he walked into a trap talking about insecure
:04:10. > :04:16.workers. Even George Osborne, sacked by Theresa May last week, sitting a
:04:17. > :04:19.few rows behind, was laughing and acknowledging the strong
:04:20. > :04:24.performance. To put it diplomatically, Corbyn was outshone
:04:25. > :04:29.by Theresa May, and it didn't take a Lynn Smith, challenging for Jeremic
:04:30. > :04:35.Corbyn for the leadership, to say that was not good enough, make me
:04:36. > :04:41.Leader of the Labour Party. But dashed Owen Smith, challenging
:04:42. > :04:49.Jeremy Corbyn for the leadership. In lots of areas, she seems to be
:04:50. > :04:55.kicking things into the future. We know she has indicated that the
:04:56. > :05:00.deficit targets... She still wanted it, but not until the end of the
:05:01. > :05:04.parliament. On immigration, she still sees tens of thousands as a
:05:05. > :05:10.target, but until we are out of the European Union, this is not
:05:11. > :05:15.possible. Today, it may almost be a rite of passage. It's the new delay
:05:16. > :05:19.to Universal Credit. This was a reform of the benefits system is
:05:20. > :05:24.supposed to have 6 million people on it by now. We have a quarter of a
:05:25. > :05:31.million on it, 124 software should be. She's announced it will be a
:05:32. > :05:39.year longer, even longer than 2022. The original plan was supposed to be
:05:40. > :05:45.the end of this year. The split in the Tory party on Europe. Is it
:05:46. > :05:49.dead? You saw the rows of smiling Tory MPs, and you thought, have
:05:50. > :05:55.those divisions finally been overcome? The key moment was when
:05:56. > :06:03.Edward Leigh, the arch Eurosceptic, said, in a carefully phrased
:06:04. > :06:06.question to the Prime Minister, will you reject access to the single
:06:07. > :06:12.market and will there be no freedom of movement? Theresa May made a
:06:13. > :06:16.careful response. She said they wanted to negotiate the best deal
:06:17. > :06:20.and that there would be limits on free movement. If we are to have
:06:21. > :06:26.some access to the single market outside the European Union, we may
:06:27. > :06:30.have to accept some immigration from within the European Union. I was
:06:31. > :06:33.talking to one of the government Brexit people today, and they say
:06:34. > :06:38.they are working really, really hard to make sure that the likes of Sir
:06:39. > :06:44.Edward Leigh do not shout, betrayal, when the inevitable nitty-gritty
:06:45. > :06:47.give-and-take of the negotiations is under way. Thanks to you both.
:06:48. > :06:49.Well, I said we'd get more from Berlin.
:06:50. > :07:01.It's not unusual, when you move house, to go and meet the
:07:02. > :07:06.neighbours. All new prime ministers in recent times, with the exception
:07:07. > :07:12.of John Major, have made their first overseas trips to Germany, France or
:07:13. > :07:18.both. So Theresa May's itinerary for today and tomorrow is far from
:07:19. > :07:24.unusual. But Theresa May's visit to Berlin today and Paris tomorrow are
:07:25. > :07:28.anything but social cause. No Prime Minister since World War II has
:07:29. > :07:33.arrived in office with a more pressing, urgent diplomatic problem
:07:34. > :07:37.to contend with. It was appreciated by the Germans and by the Chancellor
:07:38. > :07:44.that hurling was the first city to visit. It shows that they understand
:07:45. > :07:49.that Germany will play a very important role in negotiations to
:07:50. > :07:55.come. It probably also a woman to woman move that was quite clever.
:07:56. > :07:59.Apart from a brief handshake at an EU migration summit, this was the
:08:00. > :08:03.first time the two most powerful women in Europe had met. The new
:08:04. > :08:07.Prime Minister was here to make common cause. It's very important
:08:08. > :08:12.that we have two women here, who have had a very constructive
:08:13. > :08:15.discussion. Two women who get on with the job and want to deliver the
:08:16. > :08:20.best possible results for the people of the UK and the people of Germany.
:08:21. > :08:25.Theresa May did receive a sympathetic hearing when it came to
:08:26. > :08:31.the crucial issue of when to trickle -- trigger Article 50, the process
:08:32. > :08:35.that begins our negotiated exit from the EU. The Prime Minister said this
:08:36. > :08:41.would not be until next year at least. Some members of the EU want a
:08:42. > :08:45.faster timetable, but Angela Merkel is very understanding.
:08:46. > :08:49.TRANSLATION: It is understandable that only a few days after the
:08:50. > :08:53.referendum, only a few days after a new government was formed in
:08:54. > :09:01.Britain, the government will have to take a moment first. There's been a
:09:02. > :09:06.lot of anger. There was this thing off well, they want to leave, let's
:09:07. > :09:11.punish them. Let's make it as hard as possible. A populist approach.
:09:12. > :09:16.But I don't think this is going to matter that much in the real
:09:17. > :09:20.negotiations. I think the interests of the German economy will play a
:09:21. > :09:29.big role, and they obviously wants relations as close as possible. For
:09:30. > :09:34.the UK, free movement of people within the EU is something that many
:09:35. > :09:38.who voted for Brexit expect to change. Angela Merkel said today the
:09:39. > :09:44.UK will not be allowed to cherry pick what it wants to pick and what
:09:45. > :09:47.it wants to let go. In Germany, public concern is more about
:09:48. > :09:52.migration from outside the new than movement within it. In Germany,
:09:53. > :09:56.these are two different topics. We are not so much talking about the
:09:57. > :10:01.free movement within the European Union, even though we have this
:10:02. > :10:08.debate also. We know that those entering the European Union, the
:10:09. > :10:13.migrants and some of those terrorists who were able to attack
:10:14. > :10:17.in Paris and Brussels and now in Germany, a benefited from the
:10:18. > :10:22.possibility to travel freely within Europe. Tomorrow, Theresa May
:10:23. > :10:26.arrives in Paris for the second leg of her opening visits. The
:10:27. > :10:31.fundamentals of the problem are that the UK's exit from the E -- from the
:10:32. > :10:35.European Union hasn't changed at all. But now there seems to be
:10:36. > :10:36.willingness on all sides to couch the problem in more friendly
:10:37. > :10:43.language. I'm joined now by Crispin Blunt,
:10:44. > :10:46.Conservative MP and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee
:10:47. > :10:50.and SNP spokesperson on Trade on Trade and Investment,
:10:51. > :11:02.Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh. How has her first week been? It was
:11:03. > :11:07.great to see her meeting with the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and
:11:08. > :11:12.then with Angela Merkel today. It is refreshing times, to a certain
:11:13. > :11:15.extent, in terms of seeing women in positions of importance. The key
:11:16. > :11:20.thing is what they do with those positions. In Scotland, we didn't
:11:21. > :11:25.want the vote imposed upon us, and we didn't want to come out of the
:11:26. > :11:30.European Union. It seems like you are getting swept up a little bit in
:11:31. > :11:34.the joy and euphoria of a new Prime Minister. No, because
:11:35. > :11:38.notwithstanding comments made on the steps of Downing Street that she's
:11:39. > :11:42.going to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom, which
:11:43. > :11:48.remains to be seen in terms of how she protects Scotland's position in
:11:49. > :11:54.the EU, but she also spoke of inequality and social justice. Today
:11:55. > :12:00.in PMQs, we had a reiteration of austerity and living within our
:12:01. > :12:04.needs -- within our means, policies which are punishing the people of
:12:05. > :12:08.Scotland to a terrible extent. Crispin Blunt, you were a Boris
:12:09. > :12:14.Johnson support of the last time I spoke to you. What is your take on
:12:15. > :12:20.Theresa May's first week? I think it's been awesome. The machinery of
:12:21. > :12:24.government changes, allied to the personnel changes she's made in
:12:25. > :12:30.government, have given her a real stamp of authority. The creation of
:12:31. > :12:34.a new Brexit Department and a new Department of International trade,
:12:35. > :12:37.and the leader of those three departments, are exactly what I
:12:38. > :12:42.would have done, knowing the personalities involved and their
:12:43. > :12:48.skill sets. You have Boris Johnson, who has a fantastic complimentary
:12:49. > :12:53.skill set to Theresa May, being the Leave representatives of the UK and
:12:54. > :12:57.the world. I think it is a terrific message available for the UK.
:12:58. > :13:05.Everything is awesome, as the song says. Do you think wrecks it can be
:13:06. > :13:12.resolved? Do you think there is a solution, a Brexit solution, that
:13:13. > :13:17.can satisfy the ultra-s in the Conservative Party, the SNP, Angela
:13:18. > :13:23.Merkel and the business constituency in the UK? It is clear from the
:13:24. > :13:30.referendum result that it is Scotland's position that we want to
:13:31. > :13:34.remain within the European Union. That was the democratic will of the
:13:35. > :13:37.people of Scotland when they went to the ballot box. From that
:13:38. > :13:42.perspective, we will be negotiating to stay within the European Union.
:13:43. > :13:49.Put that aside, because it's not going to happen soon. I don't accept
:13:50. > :13:53.that it won't happen, because that's not been the view of many people.
:13:54. > :13:59.The First Minister has already spoken. The latest YouGov poll
:14:00. > :14:05.across various EU countries showed lots of support for Scotland to stay
:14:06. > :14:09.in the EU. That is just a modest problem. The modest problem being
:14:10. > :14:14.that there was a referendum a couple of years ago where the people of
:14:15. > :14:17.Scotland voted to remain within sight -- within the United Kingdom.
:14:18. > :14:23.And the United Kingdom have collectively voted to leave the
:14:24. > :14:28.European Union. I don't want to get to court on this. Crispin Blunt, do
:14:29. > :14:34.you see a solution that will satisfy Edward Leigh and everybody else? And
:14:35. > :14:39.if there is a solution, why didn't Theresa May mention it today?
:14:40. > :14:45.We're not going to be part of the single market, we will have access
:14:46. > :14:49.to the single market and sell into the single market. There are tonnes
:14:50. > :14:56.that need to be decided in the negotiation. You are clear, but is
:14:57. > :14:59.she clear? She wasn't as clear as you have been when she spoke in the
:15:00. > :15:06.comments today and again in Germany. She didn't say it like that. -- and
:15:07. > :15:09.in the Commons. There will be issues about how close the readership is
:15:10. > :15:15.with the single market and within the negotiation people may say, we
:15:16. > :15:21.almost remained... 30% in it. Yes. I am pretty clear that we will end up,
:15:22. > :15:24.within a decade, a deep and comprehensive free trade agreement,
:15:25. > :15:28.what gets negotiated over the next two and a half years will be part of
:15:29. > :15:32.the weight of that. People should be fairly clear that there are some
:15:33. > :15:36.things the British can't give in, in this negotiation. One will be
:15:37. > :15:40.unrestricted free movement of labour. She doesn't talk about
:15:41. > :15:44.ending free movement, she says controls on free movement. Exactly.
:15:45. > :15:48.Why doesn't she say ending free movement? It doesn't sound much she
:15:49. > :15:52.is quite clear like you are. Britain will remain open for business, we
:15:53. > :15:57.will want people who we want to come and work in our labour market to
:15:58. > :16:00.come and work here. There is a significant number of EU individuals
:16:01. > :16:03.working as consultants in the health service and we will need to
:16:04. > :16:06.continue. As there are in every other industry. You will want people
:16:07. > :16:13.where there is a demand for them, particularly in the top jobs, to
:16:14. > :16:15.have mobility into our labour market. The people who have got to
:16:16. > :16:18.be protected in our labour market are those like unskilled and
:16:19. > :16:23.semiskilled people in the labour market from competing with... The
:16:24. > :16:26.labour market from the European Union. Putting aside the Scotland
:16:27. > :16:31.issue, I know you don't want to, do you think they have got it resolved?
:16:32. > :16:34.The issue with the Leave proposition, as it was during the
:16:35. > :16:39.campaign, we don't know what that means and we still don't know what
:16:40. > :16:44.that means. With all respect to Chris, since he voted with us
:16:45. > :16:48.against Trident a couple of days ago, that is the issue. We have seen
:16:49. > :16:52.throughout this week a different viewpoints within the government as
:16:53. > :16:58.to what Brexit actually means. A huge challenge for Theresa May,
:16:59. > :17:02.taking out Scotland, which is unique. How she coalesces around
:17:03. > :17:06.something which will appease everybody. We have already seen the
:17:07. > :17:10.continuing dissent amongst the ranks of the Conservative Party because of
:17:11. > :17:12.this. We need to leave it there, thank you so much.
:17:13. > :17:15.Well, we have to have a daily dose of Labour politics.
:17:16. > :17:17.Now the party is sceptical, on occasion, of the profit motive,
:17:18. > :17:20.but it has certainly found a good way to raise money itself.
:17:21. > :17:23.Registered supporters had to pay ?25 for a right to vote
:17:24. > :17:26.in its leadership election and the news is that the party
:17:27. > :17:28.has made not much less than ?5 million from that
:17:29. > :17:38.The numbers, who are these people who registered? Jeremy Corbyn has
:17:39. > :17:43.tweeted this evening that 183,000 people have signed up in the 48 hour
:17:44. > :17:47.window to be registered supporters. Officially, we have no idea who
:17:48. > :17:50.these people are. What we do know is that both sides have been
:17:51. > :17:56.mobilising, momentum for Jeremy Corbyn and saving labour for anyone
:17:57. > :17:59.but Corbyn. I sense a growing and quite confident in the Jeremy Corbyn
:18:00. > :18:04.camp because they saying are very strict rules for these registered
:18:05. > :18:08.supporters, ?3 fee, up to ?12. Having it open for the entire
:18:09. > :18:11.contest down to a 48 hour window, despite the incredibly strict rules,
:18:12. > :18:16.there are an extra 50,000 people who have signed up for this, they are
:18:17. > :18:19.quietly confident. Owen Smith and saving labour site, they said we
:18:20. > :18:28.have been mobilising, don't count us out. -- saving labour.
:18:29. > :18:30.A state of emergency is underway in Turkey.
:18:31. > :18:32.In Turkey, an extraordinary purge is under way in the aftermath
:18:33. > :18:36.About 60,000 soldiers, police, judges, civil servants and teachers
:18:37. > :18:38.have been either suspended, detained or are under investigation.
:18:39. > :18:41.Today, a temporary ban was applied to academics travelling abroad,
:18:42. > :18:43.on the pretext that accomplices of the coup might try
:18:44. > :18:51.Well, our diplomatic editor, Mark Urban, has been in Turkey
:18:52. > :18:53.since the weekend, and has been following this new phase
:18:54. > :18:55.in the entrenchment of Erdogan's power.
:18:56. > :19:02.A state of emergency. 90 minutes ago he announced this, what does that
:19:03. > :19:07.actually mean? Less than that, actually, Evan. It gives sweeping
:19:08. > :19:11.powers initially for three months although some people say they expect
:19:12. > :19:16.it to last six months. Greater powers of arrest and detention but
:19:17. > :19:20.powers, potentially, if they are needed, for curfews. People, for
:19:21. > :19:24.example, legally instructed to have their passports or other form of ID,
:19:25. > :19:31.ID cards, with them at all times, when they are out of their own
:19:32. > :19:36.homes. That type of thing. As you might imagine, opposition groups are
:19:37. > :19:40.pretty worried about this. The President's supporters, we had this
:19:41. > :19:42.in anger after the ten minutes the announcement was made, a huge
:19:43. > :19:47.crescendo of car horns across the city forced up some pictures have

:20:00. > :20:04.happened. In broad terms, they supported the punishment of those
:20:05. > :20:09.responsible. But we have seen in recent days is a widening dragnet of
:20:10. > :20:16.people involved against followers of this exiled cleric Brittany Boolean
:20:17. > :20:20.-- Gulen. There are people who are concerned this could sweep in all
:20:21. > :20:24.sorts of others. Even if you just confine it to that group, could be
:20:25. > :20:35.hundreds of thousands who belong to this Gulenist network.
:20:36. > :20:37.At an army barracks in Ankara, a furious policeman interrogates
:20:38. > :20:40.soldiers, who took part in the coup attempt.

:27:11. > :27:13.He's been a politician for exactly, what, 12 months now?
:27:14. > :27:16.And here is, the Republican nominee in the United States.
:27:17. > :27:18.It's a very special time for our family.
:27:19. > :27:22.When you look at your father, does he feel like the same man

:27:33. > :27:35.This is a very special day, and we're really honoured.
:27:36. > :27:38.He is going to become president if he wins?
:27:39. > :27:47.He will absolutely become president if he wins.
:27:48. > :27:51.Of course, there are those who say the last thing Donald Trump should
:27:52. > :27:54.do is change his tune now, that the way for Republicans to win
:27:55. > :28:06.One is his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who is credited
:28:07. > :28:08.with both helping Trump to emerge triumphant from the crazy
:28:09. > :28:10.Primary season and with giving the entire party
:28:11. > :28:17.Lewandowski was unceremoniously dumped by Trump last month.
:28:18. > :28:24.Some here believe he is still being paid by his former boss. Others
:28:25. > :28:25.think he might be here to quietly create mischief behind the scenes.
:28:26. > :28:28.In a rare UK interview, I met up with him.
:28:29. > :28:29.What is your understanding of what happened today?
:28:30. > :28:31.Donald Trump was nominated for president of the
:28:32. > :28:39.Have you left the campaign for good or do you still feel very much
:28:40. > :28:44.I've left the campaign and now I am in a role as the
:28:45. > :28:45.Chairman of the New Hampshire delegation.
:28:46. > :28:48.I was very proud to be able to read the roll call from the
:28:49. > :28:51.The first state that delivered a victory for
:28:52. > :28:54.They tried to blame you for Melania's speech.
:28:55. > :28:56.I had nothing to do Melania's speech.
:28:57. > :29:00.If they want to blame me for something, they can
:29:01. > :29:03.blame me for the 38 victories we had in the primary.
:29:04. > :29:08.Look, I left, I got a great opportunity to contribute to
:29:09. > :29:11.CNN and spend time with my family, which I hadn't seen in 18 months.
:29:12. > :29:17.But this man could be president, come November.
:29:18. > :29:19.He will be the president of the United States, come November.
:29:20. > :29:22.And will you be working for him, then?
:29:23. > :29:28.If Mr Trump asked me to come back and sweep the floors in the White
:29:29. > :29:30.House or, you know, open the mail, I will
:29:31. > :29:33.Just because I don't work for him in the
:29:34. > :29:35.campaign doesn't change my resolve that this country needs fundamental
:29:36. > :29:39.and unequivocal change and he's the only one that will do that.
:29:40. > :29:42.But you've got the brain, the mind, the vision
:29:43. > :29:46.What would you be saying if you were on the inside now?
:29:47. > :29:49.We have seen a convention, which has had, let's be
:29:50. > :29:51.honest, hiccups, things not going according to plan.
:29:52. > :29:58.Running a convention is a very, very difficult thing to do.
:29:59. > :30:01.And I've never done it, but I think these guys
:30:02. > :30:06.You have to understand how difficult it is to have all
:30:07. > :30:07.these moving parts and all these people.
:30:08. > :30:10.Thousands of delegates coming in, moving parts, it is a
:30:11. > :30:11.full-time and very difficult thing to execute.
:30:12. > :30:20.Not at the convention, I am just here to enjoy the convention.
:30:21. > :30:23.What is important for Donald Trump going forward, now?
:30:24. > :30:26.What you will find is that he will continue to expand the
:30:27. > :30:29.map, he will campaign in states that Republicans don't traditionally
:30:30. > :30:31.campaign in, states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, obviously.
:30:32. > :30:34.That means Hillary Clinton has to go there, those are
:30:35. > :30:37.states that in historical perspectives she should have won.
:30:38. > :30:40.She should be so far ahead in Michigan, it should not be
:30:41. > :30:51.With 16 weeks to go in this election.
:30:52. > :30:55.Who was at it that told Donald Trump to elect Mike Pence as his
:30:56. > :31:00.One man makes that decision, his name is Donald J Trump.
:31:01. > :31:06.And anybody who wants to say they had a say in what
:31:07. > :31:09.Mr Trump does clearly doesn't know what kind of leader he is because
:31:10. > :31:14.So you don't think he wanted Chris Christie?
:31:15. > :31:16.No, I think he's very pleased with Mike Pence.
:31:17. > :31:18.Mike Pence is a good man, an honourable person
:31:19. > :31:20.and he will bring a lot to that ticket.
:31:21. > :31:23.People describe him in terms that are frankly quite boring,
:31:24. > :31:25.An antidote to Donald Trump being exciting?
:31:26. > :31:29.No, Mike Pence has 12 years in Congress, he's
:31:30. > :31:31.he was the governor of an important state.
:31:32. > :31:33.He's got foreign policy experience, having served on that committee,
:31:34. > :31:36.He understands how to bring jobs back.
:31:37. > :31:38.More people working in Indiana now than
:31:39. > :31:40.they have been in the history of the state.
:31:41. > :31:43.It is a well-rounded team and it is a team that is going directly
:31:44. > :31:57.That last trump's former manager. Tonight things get quite
:31:58. > :32:03.interesting, because we are going to be hearing from Donald Trump's
:32:04. > :32:06.rival, Ted Cruz. Will he take this opportunity to formally endorsed
:32:07. > :32:11.Donald Trump, or will he just say nice things about the Republican
:32:12. > :32:15.party? Or will he quietly start setting out his own stall for 2020
:32:16. > :32:22.in case Donald Trump loses come November. We are also going to be
:32:23. > :32:25.hearing from Mike Pence, evangelical Christian, and some of his
:32:26. > :32:31.credentials are about bringing that mainstream Conservative vote to
:32:32. > :32:35.Donald Trump. He is crucial. More on that tomorrow.
:32:36. > :32:37.Now, a quick reminder that if Monday to Friday isn't enough,
:32:38. > :32:39.there is a Newsnight special on Saturday
:32:40. > :32:44.The British people have spoken and the answer is...We're out.
:32:45. > :32:50.I love this country and I feel honoured to have served it.
:32:51. > :32:55.The political landscape changed forever.
:32:56. > :32:58.I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job
:32:59. > :33:08.The Scottish Parliament should have the right
:33:09. > :33:14.Exactly one month after the UK's momentous vote...
:33:15. > :33:20.and we're going to make a success of it.
:33:21. > :33:22.Newsnight hosts a special day of discussion and
:33:23. > :33:27.debate on Brexit Britain, a divided nation, and its relationship
:33:28. > :33:32.Full details about the event and how you can
:33:33. > :33:34.obtain tickets are available via the Newsnight website.
:33:35. > :33:47.We will be live on BBC Two at 6pm on Saturday.
:33:48. > :33:50.If you struggle to keep up with all new music
:33:51. > :33:51.entering the charts, I've good news.
:33:52. > :33:55.It's not such good news if you value a vibrant
:33:56. > :33:57.and competitive music sector, of course, which includes
:33:58. > :34:00.It all appears to be down to streaming.
:34:01. > :34:03.The charts are now based not just on the number
:34:04. > :34:05.of sales a single gets, but also the number
:34:06. > :34:10.And that appears to make it harder to get into the charts, but easier
:34:11. > :34:16.The current number one has spent 15 weeks and counting at the top.
:34:17. > :34:20.In a sign that life in Brexit Britain is slowly getting
:34:21. > :34:23.back to normal, we have this report from our culture editor,
:34:24. > :34:26.Stephen Smith, his first foray into our running order
:34:27. > :34:33.# That's why I need a one dance, got a Hennessy in my hand #
:34:34. > :34:36.Here's a man who needs no introduction to our audience.
:34:37. > :34:40.It's long-time friend of the programme, Drake.
:34:41. > :34:43.# That's why I need a one dance, got a Hennessy in my hand...
:34:44. > :34:49.His song, One Dance, has been nailed onto the top
:34:50. > :34:54.of the charts longer than we've been banging on about Brexit.
:34:55. > :34:56.In fact, it's set to overtake a couple of record-breaking
:34:57. > :35:01.number ones, which we've ripped off from Evan's TiVo box.
:35:02. > :35:17.# I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes #
:35:18. > :35:19.Really tight at the top, but Drake has just about
:35:20. > :35:28.For 14 weeks in a row now, Drake is number one with One Dance.
:35:29. > :35:33.A bit like when you go to certain pizza restaurants and you pay
:35:34. > :35:36.for a salad and you can have as much salad as you like,
:35:37. > :35:41.You can just listen to as much music as you like.
:35:42. > :35:44.At our sister station, Radio 1, they are
:35:45. > :35:47.so worried about the likes of Drake hogging the top spot,
:35:48. > :35:52.There may come a time when we may have to consider
:35:53. > :35:59.We have a lot of streamers watching, maybe now is the
:36:00. > :36:03.opportunity to say, we are pulling Drake.
:36:04. > :36:07.That's a decision we will continue to monitor in next week's playlist
:36:08. > :36:10.meeting and the one after that but I think it is right
:36:11. > :36:16.As far as I know, it would be the first time, if it happened,
:36:17. > :36:27.that Radio 1 had removed the number-1 single from its playlist.
:36:28. > :36:29.There are fewer new entries in the charts now.
:36:30. > :36:35.Only 86 in the first half of this year, compared
:36:36. > :36:37.to 230 in the same period a decade ago.
:36:38. > :36:39.It's tough for acts like War On Drugs,
:36:40. > :36:44.The charts are absolutely being monopolised by
:36:45. > :36:47.the major music companies, because they are monopolising
:36:48. > :36:56.their playlists with the streaming services.
:36:57. > :36:59.So, this is then blocking exciting, different, unusual alternative,
:37:00. > :37:09.avant-garde artists from really penetrating the modern music scene.
:37:10. > :37:11.The singles chart is all about reflecting the consumption of
:37:12. > :37:19.The reality is that there are people of a
:37:20. > :37:21.certain age and certain generations who maybe don't necessarily
:37:22. > :37:23.understand and get into the world of streaming.
:37:24. > :37:26.To be honest, if those people don't want the charts to include
:37:27. > :37:31.streaming, they are living in past worlds, as far as I am concerned.
:37:32. > :37:33.The old charts at least had the merit of
:37:34. > :37:37.music fans putting their money where their mouth was,
:37:38. > :37:39.and the excitement of seeing whom they'd propel to
:37:40. > :37:46.Is there a danger that, on your watch, the charts will
:37:47. > :37:56.I think the British public is uniquely fascinated
:37:57. > :37:59.and passionate about the chart, and we're not seeing any evidence
:38:00. > :38:08.You know, I think that when you see a campaign, for example,
:38:09. > :38:12.like "Get Rage Against The Machine to number one" in order to block
:38:13. > :38:14.the X Factor single from the top of the charts,
:38:15. > :38:16.I think that is a uniquely British fascination.
:38:17. > :38:20.# Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see #
:38:21. > :38:24.Drake's hit has now been as number one longer than this classic.
:38:25. > :38:42.And to discuss this I'm joined by Gennaro Castaldo,
:38:43. > :38:44.director of the British Phonographic Industry, the record
:38:45. > :38:54.Is there a problem? I don't think so. We are focusing on the top 40,
:38:55. > :39:01.the top 60, that we should think of the chart as something that is much
:39:02. > :39:04.deeper now. Streaming has enabled this new relationship to music, and
:39:05. > :39:10.the report said that there is less music. In fact, we have much more
:39:11. > :39:15.music. Much more choice, more back catalogue has come to life, because
:39:16. > :39:21.more people have access to it. It's a great opportunity for is white is
:39:22. > :39:26.it a fact that there is more music? Yes. Before, you would have to go to
:39:27. > :39:33.a record store, but they could only hold it for so long. Now you can get
:39:34. > :39:38.anything you want for as long as you want. The music community has been
:39:39. > :39:41.really empowered. When we were growing up they spoke about the
:39:42. > :39:45.chart is being hyped and it was all about marketing. But now it is very
:39:46. > :39:51.organic, and it is about the consumer choosing what they want. If
:39:52. > :39:55.the chart moves very slowly and one record sits there at number one for
:39:56. > :40:00.three months, it's just a bit boring. You could equally argue that
:40:01. > :40:03.it's a far more immersive experience, and more of us have the
:40:04. > :40:10.opportunity to acquaint ourselves with an artist. Trade has become a
:40:11. > :40:18.global star. It is all around the world. He has sold over 4000
:40:19. > :40:22.downloads as well, so it's not just about streaming. The charts are
:40:23. > :40:28.still very important for breaking artists, and reflects how we are
:40:29. > :40:35.using music today. 100 listens equals one sale - is there anything
:40:36. > :40:40.in that? Are you looking at it? Clearly, streaming is having an
:40:41. > :40:44.effect. It's too early to say what the long-term effects might be. Over
:40:45. > :40:50.time, it's difficult to say what we might do. Perhaps you could wait it
:40:51. > :40:56.difficulty -- weighted differently, so it could be looked at differently
:40:57. > :41:03.to a new hit, if the song has been in the charts for a while. Soon,
:41:04. > :41:09.Drake be knocked off, and we'll be wondering why we were worrying about
:41:10. > :41:13.it. A quick theory, there will be fewer new artists at some point, as
:41:14. > :41:20.the population ages, because people like me are still listening to Queen
:41:21. > :41:23.rather than new artists. The reason that British music is so fantastic
:41:24. > :41:27.is that record labels invest half their revenues into developing
:41:28. > :41:31.artists all around the world. As long as that remains, we will have
:41:32. > :41:34.new talent coming through. Thank you.
:41:35. > :41:41.But we thought we'd better play out with some kind of topical
:41:42. > :41:44.tribute to Garry Marshall, the creator of hit 70s sitcom
:41:45. > :41:47."These days are ours, happy and free", goes the famous song.
:41:48. > :41:50.Well, these days certainly belong to Theresa May and her new team,
:41:51. > :41:54.as they try to negotiate our freedom from the EU.
:41:55. > :41:56.Whether or not they will be happy,
:41:57. > :42:21.# Happy days # These days our ours
:42:22. > :42:26.# Share them with me # These days are owls
