:00:00. > :00:00.work that Republicans are doing as being blessed by affinity. We will
:00:00. > :00:07.go through some of the latest developments in the hour. But first,
:00:08. > :00:15.let's turn to what Theresa May has been saying and bring in Laura
:00:16. > :00:21.Trevelyan from Washington, DC. The Prime Minister's spoke about the
:00:22. > :00:27.efforts to place on the nation state but also the importance of being an
:00:28. > :00:31.internationalist. Yes, she was walking quite the tightrope there.
:00:32. > :00:36.She acknowledged great change had been made in both countries with the
:00:37. > :00:39.Brexit vote in Britain and the election of Donald Trump here, and
:00:40. > :00:43.she was making a plea for the continued importance of
:00:44. > :00:49.internationalism. I was very struck by the way she gently reminded her
:00:50. > :00:52.Republican audience, and by association Donald Trump, that it
:00:53. > :00:56.was Britain and America at the end of the Second World War that created
:00:57. > :01:01.the United Nations, that helped create Nato, the underpinning of the
:01:02. > :01:07.global Alliance. President Trump has been rude about both of them. She
:01:08. > :01:11.was pointing out that these institutions, although they may be
:01:12. > :01:16.imperfect, they can be reformed. But this is the basis of what has been
:01:17. > :01:21.our world order. I was struck by the line that our two countries have a
:01:22. > :01:25.joint responsibility to lead, because when other step up as we
:01:26. > :01:30.step back, it is bad for America, Britain and the world. It was a
:01:31. > :01:37.believer joint leadership in uncertain times. There were a couple
:01:38. > :01:39.of other phrases. The Prime Minister said we will rediscover our
:01:40. > :01:43.confidence together and we will lead together again. Both suggest that in
:01:44. > :01:48.different ways these countries have not been at the peak of their powers
:01:49. > :01:53.in recent times? Right, and I also took that to mean that as President
:01:54. > :01:57.Trump is outlining his America first policy, which many have read as a
:01:58. > :02:02.retreat from American leadership and the world, and America looking
:02:03. > :02:06.inward, and as President Trump has said, focusing on ending what he
:02:07. > :02:13.calls the American carnage of the rust belt, of where factories like
:02:14. > :02:17.shuttered and so on and so forth, but Theresa May pointing out this is
:02:18. > :02:22.a very uncertain world. She drew attention to China and Russia,
:02:23. > :02:30.countries without traditions of democracy and liberty. She was
:02:31. > :02:34.reminding everyone of what British and American leadership of the world
:02:35. > :02:38.has achieved and what it could achieve again. Laura, you are
:02:39. > :02:44.staying with us for a few minutes. Just encase there are some you
:02:45. > :02:48.tuning in and you did not see the whole of Prime Minister may's
:02:49. > :02:55.speech. Here are some of the key moments. We have the opportunity, in
:02:56. > :03:00.deed the responsibility to renew the special relationship for this new
:03:01. > :03:08.age. We have the opportunity to lead together again. Because the world is
:03:09. > :03:14.passing through a period of change. And in response to that change, we
:03:15. > :03:20.can either be passive bystanders, or we can take the opportunity once
:03:21. > :03:24.more to lead, and to lead together. Yesterday, we got an awful lot of
:03:25. > :03:32.questions from you on the Trump residency and the issues relating to
:03:33. > :03:39.it. We will keep doing that today. The hashtag is on the screen
:03:40. > :03:43.throughout. Ben is watching the Londoner says how can Theresa May
:03:44. > :03:49.going discussing a trade deal in the next two days bearing in mind
:03:50. > :03:54.Brexit? We can talk about negotiations in principle but you
:03:55. > :03:59.are right to highlight that until Brexit has been completed, the US
:04:00. > :04:02.and UK cannot conduct negotiations formally to begin a new trade deal.
:04:03. > :04:11.Let's turn to another issue we covered yesterday. Donald Trump said
:04:12. > :04:25.he condones water boarding. That is a form of torture.
:04:26. > :04:34.He said we have to fight fire with fire. We are not playing an uneven
:04:35. > :04:43.field. Theresa May said -- Laura Kuenssberg
:04:44. > :04:46.said that Theresa May condemns torture and says guidance that
:04:47. > :04:53.prevents the UK sharing intelligence with those who use it went change.
:04:54. > :04:57.This is what two senior Republicans said today when asked about the
:04:58. > :05:00.water boarding comments. I think the director of the CIA has made it
:05:01. > :05:04.clear he is going to follow the law and I believe all my members are
:05:05. > :05:10.comfortable with the state of the law on that issue now. And torture
:05:11. > :05:16.is illegal? Torture is not legal and we agree with that. That is very
:05:17. > :05:21.clear. Let's bring Laura back in. I guess this is one of several issues
:05:22. > :05:30.in which Theresa May has to tread carefully with reference to what the
:05:31. > :05:36.Prime -- president said? It is. President Trump seems to be at odds
:05:37. > :05:40.with his own party and indeed with his appointees. One of his big
:05:41. > :05:45.applause lines in the campaign was when he talked about torture working
:05:46. > :05:49.and bringing back water boarding. Theresa May has very clearly made
:05:50. > :05:53.the point that Britain would probably not be able to participate
:05:54. > :05:59.in some intelligence sharing with America if torture was brought back
:06:00. > :06:05.into the American Army Field manual which is a manual governing the way
:06:06. > :06:09.US operatives conduct interrogations. Clearly, there is a
:06:10. > :06:13.big difference there. Also the point with Donald Trump is he says to his
:06:14. > :06:20.base that torture works because he knows that what they want to hear,
:06:21. > :06:23.but also in the ABC interview he had a big caveat and said he would rely
:06:24. > :06:37.on the advice from those around him. We already know that General Mattis
:06:38. > :06:43.said a cup of coffee and a cigarette can be more effective. Theresa May
:06:44. > :06:49.of having to tread a careful line coming here wanting that trade deal
:06:50. > :06:54.above all. Run through the chronology tomorrow. They will meet,
:06:55. > :07:00.the pair. Theresa May made a joke on the plane and she said, sometimes
:07:01. > :07:10.having to heard that opposites attract? The bigger's daughter and
:07:11. > :07:16.the recount -- reality TV star -- the bigger's daughter and the reed
:07:17. > :07:23.talent -- reality TV star will meet. Then they will get gifts. Will it be
:07:24. > :07:28.a Tiffany box? There was the big one given to the Obamas and they did not
:07:29. > :07:32.know what to do with it. Have you seen the film Love macro actually?
:07:33. > :07:40.There was a press conference in that. We will see what will happen
:07:41. > :07:41.tomorrow. That will be live on BBC news wherever you are watching in
:07:42. > :07:46.the world. Tensions between Mexico and Donald
:07:47. > :07:48.Trump are escalating - fast. The Mexican President
:07:49. > :07:50.has cancelled his visit He wasn't left too many
:07:51. > :07:53.options after Mr Trump If Mexico
:07:54. > :08:09.is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall,
:08:10. > :08:33.then it would be better to cancel The president of Mexico and myself
:08:34. > :08:38.have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next week.
:08:39. > :08:45.Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect,
:08:46. > :08:54.such a meeting would be fruitless and I want to go a different route.
:08:55. > :08:58.We have no choice. So there is the president saying he wants to go a
:08:59. > :09:10.different way. We don't have a huge amount of information about what
:09:11. > :09:21.that would mean. We can bring in our BBC correspondent. For some people
:09:22. > :09:27.that would cause concern? He said he would take a different way. From the
:09:28. > :09:33.Mexican government perspective, that was the country who invited him to
:09:34. > :09:41.Mexico City when he was still a candidate, at great political cost
:09:42. > :09:44.to President Enrique Pena Nieto. And the tweets you mentioned on both
:09:45. > :09:49.sides ultimately culminated in the fact that the summit has been
:09:50. > :09:54.cancelled. In terms of how it goes from here, the latest we have heard
:09:55. > :09:59.this from Sean Spicer, the White House prosecco Terry, who said they
:10:00. > :10:05.could be a 20% tax on all Mexican imports into the United States, an
:10:06. > :10:08.extraordinary measure given that Mexico imports $300 billion worth of
:10:09. > :10:15.imports into the United States every year. It is one of the key trading
:10:16. > :10:20.partners. In terms of attitudes towards America, clearly Mexico and
:10:21. > :10:24.American society is clearly intertwined, our attitudes harden in
:10:25. > :10:29.towards the Trump administration? Certainly on the streets they are,
:10:30. > :10:34.if they can get any harder. People are already taking a dim view of Mr
:10:35. > :10:38.Trump before he took office. Now he is in his fourth or fifth day, they
:10:39. > :10:44.still don't feel any better about him being there, most Mexicans. That
:10:45. > :10:50.is because they see the war as a symbol of a broader policy that is
:10:51. > :10:53.anti-Mexico, antique centre of America. There are lots of other
:10:54. > :10:58.things they need to talk about beyond the wall. The cross-border
:10:59. > :11:02.security issue, the guns used by the drug cartels in Mexico generally
:11:03. > :11:07.come from the United States. The money for the drugs that go north
:11:08. > :11:12.also comes back from the United States. There are questions on both
:11:13. > :11:15.sides and I think this impasse, Mexicans are worried these issues
:11:16. > :11:20.cannot be dealt with if the two leaders cannot speak to each other.
:11:21. > :11:26.Thank you. We'll grant live from Mexico City. Now as we go into the
:11:27. > :11:31.second half of outside source we will update you on every single
:11:32. > :11:37.major development to do with the Trump administration today. You can
:11:38. > :11:41.e-mail us your questions and use my social media contacts as well. First
:11:42. > :11:42.of all... That clip of Mr Trump that
:11:43. > :11:58.I played was from a speech We can speak to Anthony Zurcher who
:11:59. > :12:05.is live from Washington. Just a quick word about the repeated
:12:06. > :12:10.references to divinity that Mr Trump is using. He said Republicans are
:12:11. > :12:16.doing work lest by divinity. It seemed like a striking phrase. Does
:12:17. > :12:19.seem like that way but Donald Trump did have strong evangelical support
:12:20. > :12:23.in his win in the recent election, more than Mitt Romney before him,
:12:24. > :12:30.said he wants to reach out to religious voters and this is a way
:12:31. > :12:33.of showing them. Anthony is our go to man for questions on the Trump
:12:34. > :12:38.presidency so keep them coming in and we will work through them in a
:12:39. > :12:59.few minutes time. I will speak to you then.
:13:00. > :13:05.Good evening. Coming up over the next few minutes, news of cold
:13:06. > :13:07.weather arriving in Western
