opened their biggest restaurant. The hundreds of Muscovites won't find it

cheap, with a big Mac costing half a day's wages.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

President Trump has just arrived in Philadelphia on Air Force One and is

due to speak shortly at this gathering of senior Republicans.

Let's bring you some of the main stories from BBC World Service. BBC

Turkish is covering the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled that a

group of eight Turkish soldiers who fled their country by helicopter

after a failed coup in July. They say that they were involved in the

plot. The British Foreign Secretary Boris

Johnson has suggested that the Syrian President Bashar

al-Assad should be allowed to run for election and potentially

remain in power as a means And if you haven't seen this,

I can recommend it. This is rock, paper,

scissors on a whole new level. The winner of this televised battle

won a place as the lead singer Not a bad prize - they've sold more

than 40 million singles. Within the last hour,

Gambia's new President Adama Barrow These are pictures of Mr Barrow

leaving his temporary home He was sworn in there as Gambia's

president a week ago, He is only now able to return

because Yayha Jammeh has gone into X I'll.

Mr Trump is about to speak, so let's bring in the feed but we have.

APPLAUSE Thank you. So nice, nice to win, do

we agree? It's been a while since we had this position! And I want to

thank everybody in the room, so many friends. Thank you very much. Sit

down, every body, let's enjoy ourselves. It's great to be in

Philadelphia, I went to school in Philadelphia. It is a very special

place in our nation's history. It's the place where we launched our

American independence. The state of Pennsylvania is very special to me

for lots of reasons, especially from a couple of months ago, remember?

APPLAUSE Pennsylvania cannot be won,

remember? Pennsylvania cannot be won. Right, Congressman? There is no

path to victory for Trump in Pennsylvania. Except we won. Now, it

has been a long time since you guys did this, but it was just a great

victory, it was a great evening, I will tell you, but it sort of

started in Pennsylvania. They all said that Pennsylvania was the bride

that got away, that it was the state that everybody from the Republican

party that ran in Pennsylvania for 38 years thought that they won,

except they never won, and I thought that I won, to, but I was afraid to

say it, Mitch, because it just seemed it wasn't working out, so I

just said, I think we did great, but let's see what happens. And good

things happened. So we love this state and we will see it many times

again. Now is the dawn of a new era where the people are in charge of

their own destiny. I want to thank Majority Leader McConnell, great

guy. And speaker Paul Ryan, very, very special, and he is writing his

heart out, right? And we are actually going to sign their stuff

that you are writing, you are not wasting your time!

APPLAUSE He would write and he would send it

up and nothing would happen, but now up and nothing would happen, but now

it is going to happen. For their leadership and inviting me here

today, thank you very much. And thank you, leader McCarthy,

Congressman's Gillies, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers and

congressmen necessary or leadership as well. It has been terrific. This

Congress is going to be the busiest Congress we have had in decades.

Maybe ever. Maybe ever. Think of that. And think of everything we can

achieve. And remember who we must achieve it for. We are here now

because tens of millions of Americans have placed their hopes in

us to transfer power from Washington, DC and give it back to

the people. APPLAUSE

So important. Now we have to deliver. Enough all talk, no action.

We have to deliver. This is our chance to achieve great and lasting

change for our beloved nation. Since taking office, I have taken major

contractual steps to restore the rule of law and to return power to

everyday Americans. APPLAUSE

And even though it's only a few days, we have done it in record

numbers. We've issued executive orders to build the Keystone and

Dakota pipelines, and issued a new requirement for American pipelines

to be made with American steel and fabricated in the United States.

APPLAUSE And I was sitting at my desk, and

I'm getting ready to sign Keystone and Dakota, and I say, where is the

pipe coming from, and I won't tell you where, but you wouldn't be

happy. And I said why do we build pipelines and we are not using pipe

that is made in our country? Let's put that little clause in, one

sentence, but that will attract a lot of people, and we will make that

pipe right here in America, OK? APPLAUSE

If people want to build pipelines on our land, we want the pipe to be

manufactured, and not only that, manufactured here but you will see a

level of quality that you are not going to see when they bring pipe

from far distances, have to bring it in small chunks and then fabricate

can do much better than that, and we can do much better than that, and we

are going to do it much better, and it is going to end up costing less

money, believe me. We have reinstated the Mexico City policy, a

long-standing policy... APPLAUSE

And by the way, on Friday, a lot of people are going to be showing up to

Washington, right, Mike? A lot of people. The press never gives them

the credit that they deserve. They will have 300, 400, 500, 600,000

people, you won't even read about it. When other people show up, you

read big-time about it, right? So it's not fair, but nothing fair

about the media. LAUGHTER

Nothing. APPLAUSE

A long-standing policy to make sure that taxpayer dollars do not fund

abortion services overseas. We have issued executive orders to remove

wasteful regulations that slowdown, as and delay infrastructure, which

we desperately need. The very beginning of a massive effort to

reduce crushing regulations on our economy, and we are going to reduce

regulations big-time. APPLAUSE

We have also withdrawn from the transpacific partnership, paving the

way for a new one-on-one trade deals that protect and defend the American

worker, and believe me, we are going to have a lot of trade deals...

Mitch, don't worry about it. Just give me a full-time. But they will

be one-on-one, they would be a whole baker match pot -- they won't be a

whole big mash pot, and if that country doesn't deal with us fairly,

they will get a 30 day notice to quit. We will have very strong

controls over monetary manipulation and devaluation, which they didn't

having TPP, so this will be so much better, and we are already on it. I

would like to have my commerce secretary Wilber approved, because I

hear he did fantastically well, but they are not quick with the pen on

signing these people, we would like to have him as soon as possible and

Mitch says it will be done, and it will be. They could move fast on the

other side, I will say that. They could move faster.

APPLAUSE I am meeting with the Prime Minister

tomorrow, as you know. Of Great Britain. I am meeting with her

tomorrow. I don't have my, is secretary, and they want to talk

trade, so I will have to handle it myself. Which is OK.

LAUGHTER We have put in place the first steps

in our immigration plan ordering the immediate construction of the border

wall, putting an end to catch and release, expediting the removal of

criminal... This is so important to me. From the first day I have said

it. The immediate removal of criminal aliens. They are going to

be gone, fast. And finally, at long last, cracking down on Sanctuary

cities. CHEERING

It's time to restore the civil rights of Americans to protect their

jobs, their hopes and their dreams for a much better future. Congress

passed these laws to serve our citizens, and it's about time those

laws were properly enforced. They are not enforced.

APPLAUSE The hour of justice for the American

worker has arrived. Border security is a serious, serious national issue

and problem. A lack of security poses a substantial threat to the

sovereignty and safety of the United States of America and its citizens.

Most illegal immigration is coming from our southern border. I've said

many times that the American people will not pay for the wall. And I've

made that clear to the government of Mexico. Nafta has been a terrible

deal, a total disaster for the United States from its inception,

costing us as much as $60 billion a year with Mexico alone in trade

deficits. Who negotiates these deals? Not to mention millions of

jobs and thousands and thousands of factories and plants closing down

all over our country. On top of that the trillions of dollars the US

taxpayers have spent to pay the cost of illegal immigration. Much of it

has then been sent back, and much of it goes back to other countries, and

oftentimes because they don't respect us, the other countries will

not accept the criminals that we send back to them that are illegally

in our country. I promise you they will start accepting them again.

Quickly. We are not going to have them any longer. I will not allow

the taxpayers or the citizens of the United States to pay the cost of

this defective transaction Nafta, one that should have been

renegotiated many years ago, except that the politicians were too

preoccupied to do so. Now, these people are not in that category, you

understand that this is different. To that end, the president of Mexico

and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next

week. Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with

respect, such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a

different route. We have no choice. Paul Ryan and other leaders in

Congress and I and Mike Pence, who, by the way, how good a choice was

vice president Mike Pence? CHEERING

Everybody loves him. In fact, any time I got myself into

a jam. I haven't been doing this stuff too long! Any time I got

myself into a jam, oftentimes they would say on television, but look,

he picked Mike Pence, so he's got to have something going right! So Mike

really helped me out. Well, we are working on a tax reform Bill that

will reduce our trade deficit, increase American exports and will

generate revenue for Mexico -- from Mexico that will pay for the wall of

we decide to go that route. It is time that the American people had a

president fighting as hard for its citizens as other countries do for

there is. And that's exactly what I'm going to do for you. Believe me.

APPLAUSE Thank you. Thank you.

It's time that somebody fought for our country, and didn't let anyone

take advantage of us any more. The world has taken advantage of us for

many years, not going to but any more. We will have an ambitious

legislative agenda as well, our legislative work starts with

repealing and replacing Obama care, and saving families from the

catastrophic rise in premiums and debilitating loss of choice in just

about everything else. And remember this for this room in particular.

Obamacare is a disaster. The Democrats are putting up signs like

it is wonderful, it's a disaster. I actually talked with Paul and the

group about just doing nothing to years, and the Dems would come

begging to do something, because 17 is going to be catastrophic rice

increases, your deductibles through the roof, you can't use you can't

use it. And they would come to us. Except we have one problem. We have

to take care of the American people immediately. So we can't wait. But

every time they tell you about Obamacare, we're taking them out of

a big jam, big jam. We are putting ourselves at risk to a certain

extent, because we are taking it off their platter. But I think,

congressmen, I think we have no choice. I think we have no choice,

we have to get it going. If we waited two years, it is going to

explode like you have never seen an explosion, nobody is going to be

able to afford it. It's a disaster. And that's politically what we

should do, but we don't want to do that, we want to get something done

and get it done right, and by the way, Tom Pryce is going to do a

phenomenal job. I don't know if he's here, but he will do a phenomenal

job. On my first day in office I signed

an executive of the -- order to roll back Obamacare and produce the

ability for individuals to choose customise plans that are truly right

for them and have so many choices. Tom Price will soon be leading

health and June this is. He is a true advocate for patients, he is

going to do a phenomenal job, we have no doubt about that. He joins

an all-star roster that includes many of your colleagues. Men who

have had tough time in Congress. And in the Senate. But they came out

very well. Mike Pompeo. He is a phenomenal guy along with Jeff

Sessions. He is a fine person. He was one of my earliest endorses. I

have never endorsed a presidential candidate before and he was one of

my earliest ones and he did unbelievably well in front of the

committee. In addition to fixing our health care we will pursue new trade

deals that increase wages and produce more opportunities for

American workers, bringing back those knives and words, made in the

USA. We used to have that, we don't have that any more. It is going to

be America first again. We will create millions of good paying jobs

by removing the economic burdens that cripple our ability to compete.

At the centre that agenda is tax reform that massively lowers taxes

for our middle-class and for all American businesses. We will also

pursue financial reform that will help striving Americans get the

credit that they need to realise their dreams. Republicans have

always been the party of American industry and the American worker. We

must embrace that heritage, rebuilding this country with

American goods and American labour. And we have started, believe me,

over the last few months. I don't know, I would like to say I did

about as much as any one or more intensive getting industry to start

coming back to our country before I took office. But we have a lot of

great news with Ford and General Motors and Fiat and Chrysler and

many others. We have a great number of companies and great news. We have

many additional people coming and going. We have a lot of positive

things happening and you will start to see it bursting out very soon. We

want to get our people off of welfare and back to work, it is so

important. It is out of control, it is out of control. And we believe

that the world's best country ought to have the world's best

infrastructure. It is what our people deserve and that is what we

will ensure they get. I infrastructure is in serious

trouble. We will build new roads and highways and tunnels and airports

and railway is across the nation. We will fix our existing product before

we build anything brand-new. However, we have to fix what we

have, it is a mess. So we will fix it first. What I do best in life is

bold, we will fix at first because we have a lot of things that are in

bad shape. And we will rebuild our military and take air of our great

veterans. APPLAUSE

Thank you. We are working hard with the

veterans, we will do something very special with them. At the same time,

we will unleash the full power of American energy, ending the job

killing restrictions on shale gas, oil, natural gas and clean beautiful

call. And we will put our coal miners back to work.

APPLAUSE Thank you.

And we will protect our farmers. Our ranchers. Our hunters, our anglers

and all who enjoy the outdoors. But to be a rich country, we must also

be a safe country. Right now, too many families do not feel secure.

Just look at the 30 largest cities. In the last year a loan, the murder

rate has increased by an estimated 14%. Here in Philadelphia, the

murder rate has been steady, just terrible increasing and then you

look at Chicago. What is going on in Chicago? I said the other day, what

the hell is going on? A lot of truth to that! That is why we will

continue to stand with the incredible men and women of law

enforcement. APPLAUSE

Yesterday, I had the honour of swearing and General John Kelly as

the Secretary of Homeland Security. He will be amazing.

Tomorrow I will swear in general James Mattis as our new secretary of

this is. -- secretary of the fence. These men have dedicated their lives

to defending America and I look forward to working with them. Along

with our great new head of the... We have so many different people that

we are putting in office, I think it is the group of stars, like, nobody

has seen before. Where is Mike Pompeo? Where the hell is he? Did he

ever come here? He is working? He is going to be another one of the big

stars. I have to mention him every single time. And with you in

Congress to keep our country safe from threats, that includes

protecting Americans from radical Islamic terrorism.

APPLAUSE We also need to keep the ballot box

safe from illegal voting. And believe me, take a look at what

is registering, folks, they like to have a go at me but look at what is

registering. We are going to protect the integrity of the ballot box and

we're going to defend the votes of the American citizens, it is so

important. All of us here today, for the same reason, to serve the

citizens of our country. We are not here for ourselves, we are here for

them. We are here for the people. We are blessed by divinity and honoured

by history with the task of preserving this great Republic and

expanding its blessings to every single American.

APPLAUSE Thank you. All of us are joined in

this effort, all of us are bound by duty and bound by God to give

powerful devotion to this country and its people. That obligation form

is the moral foundation of our agenda. That agenda includes a lean,

efficient government. One that appoints Supreme Court justices,

that is so important, who will uphold and defend our Constitution,

reducing taxation and regulation. Fair trade that creates A-level

playing field, as opposed to what we have right now, and fostering

respect for our country and its flight. We are now only at the

beginning of this incredible journey together. -- flag-mac. I am honoured

to be your partner in this amazing quest. I am privileged to stand with

you, shoulder to shoulder, as we work every single day to make

America great again. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. It

is a great honour to be here, thank you very much.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, Donald Trump addressing

Republicans there from both the House of Representatives and the

Senate at their annual gathering before the start of the new session

of the Congress that was elected in November, many of which members were

elected at the same time as Donald Trump was elected.

They will take office from those politicians, some of whom will

obviously be serving in both but were elected at the previous set of

elections. He is going to work with a clean sheet and it is going to be

a busy term in Washington, according to the president. He has picked out

a number of things to tackle immediately, one was Obamacare, the

health service reforms were introduced by the president.

Republicans, including President Trump has said it will be a disaster

and he has said it is not in the interest of the American people to

wait for the scheme to collapse under its own contradictions, as he

proceeds them. He says to expect particular price rises for Americans

relying upon the health insurance. That is one big commitment, others

were made. It'll be interesting to see how many congressmen and

Congresswoman will try to get pictures of Donald Trump. When you

are the winner, everybody is on your side, whether or not you have

endorsed them. He is now the leader of their party, in effect, but he

will have to work with them and he will have to recognise that there

are going to be quite a lot of pensions to surface. Let us speak

again to my colleague in the Washington bureau. Anthony, thank

you for joining us and listening to Donald Trump. What did you make of

that? In many ways it was Donald Trump was my greatest hits tour. He

spoke of winning Pennsylvania early on, and then he went through some of

the executive actions he has taken over the past week. He spoke of the

moves on the pipelines, authorising development of the pipelines,

talking about repealing federal regulations, as he mentioned, the

affordable care act. He did not really get too much into describing

the legislative agenda sort of thing is that Congress can work on, it was

more about the things he had already done. He talked about the scheduled

meeting with the Mexican President Nieto. It was cancelled, he has said

it was a joint decision on the part of both him and the Mexican

president and in actuality the Mexican president said earlier today

that he was cancelling it as a result of Donald Trump challenging

and goading him on Twitter that he was going to come and pledged to pay

for the wall. He also said that the world has taken advantage of the US

too much in describing US foreign policy, speaking about having more

bilateral trade agreements instead of multilateral trade deals. Also

interesting was when he started to bite mark the North American Free

Trade Agreement and you could tell it was a little bit awkward because

the Republican Party has traditionally backed that trade

agreement and it was a Republican President George Tubby H Bush in

1991 that negotiated the deal. A lot of Republicans voted for that,

including Democrats like Bill Clinton. It was interesting to see

them talking down international trade deals. On the question of

bilateral trade, we have to use a coming to visit the president in the

White House tomorrow. She, I understand, has now landed, so she

is in the United States but she will be addressing that issue. She is

very keen to get warm words from him, what will she make of that?

Should she be concerned about that reference that any bilateral trade

deals will have a 30-day termination period, sort of like the contract

you might have, not 14 days at least when you a washing machine or, you

know, the buyer can change their mind, but that is quite a short

potential cancellation on any great deal, isn't it? Yes, one of the ways

that countries deal with each other is by developing reliable agreements

that have any lasting power and that people can understand what the

country is going to do once the agreements are in place and they can

build their policies around that. If you are going to yank at the rug

within 30 days, that is pretty unprecedented. You must remember,

Donald Trump is coming from a business background, he is a

business negotiator and perhaps in business negotiations he will be

able to pull out really quickly, that it is part of the deal. Talking

about handling negotiations with the Prime Minister, personally he has

not had this commerce secretary confirmed yet but he gave a nod

operatives, suggesting he could take care of the sort of business deals.

-- a nod to the audience. Can I ask you something that he did not

mention directly in his speech and that was the debate over whether

water boarding would be introduced again by the government. Mitch

McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, he has said that at that

gathering, it is illegal at the moment, but of course, the ball

could be changed. Yes, the law could be changed, there is perhaps some

wriggle room that Donald Trump could find to authorise some enhanced

interrogation, but it is definitely driving a divide in the Republican

party. Paul Ryan said it was illegal and he did not want it changed. I

think he avoided that because it was not a receptive audience to his idea

on that. Thank you for your views. Let me bring you some news coming

into us from the press Association as he listened to Donald Trump and

that is that the death of a former Labour leader can DL.

-- Tam Dalyell. He was against powers being devolved

to Scotland, that was what he was well remembered for. He is the man

who was a sceptic about the Scottish devolution and he was a remarkable

advocate of his various causes, most prominently, of course, over his

opposition to the Iraq war. He accused Tony Blair of being a war

criminal. He was very much a rebel, a left-wing rebel in the

Parliamentary Labour Party and was Father of the House of Commons

having served more than 40 years as a leader. Tam Dalyell, who has died

at the age of 84. Now it is time, little later than

usual, for Sportsday.
