:01:12. > :01:23.I would argue that we'd have a healthy and robust relationship with

:01:30. > :01:32.think the relationship with Mexico is phenomenal. An unbelievable and

:02:01. > :02:02.provisions that one government unilaterally wants to
:02:03. > :02:04.impose on the other. We will not accept it,
:02:05. > :02:06.because there's no reason why we should, and because it is not

:02:20. > :02:25.for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel
:02:26. > :02:28.the upcoming meeting" - you can see why this is going to be
:02:29. > :02:47.an interesting trip for Mr Barbara, this is going to be quite a
:02:48. > :02:55.balancing act for Rex Tillerson? He certainly has his work cut out. The
:02:56. > :03:02.wall, that led to the cancellation of the presidents meeting. And the
:03:03. > :03:07.crackdown on illegal immigrants. None of this has improved the

:03:14. > :03:16.with a head of Homeland Security, responsible for the border and they
:03:17. > :03:20.are going to be meeting government ministers and the idea is to try to

:03:27. > :03:30.system when you would have recurring visits, to try to manage the
:03:31. > :03:38.relationship. Both of these men, sober, calm men. That discussion can
:03:39. > :03:42.commence. But I am not sure exactly what that means. The Mexicans have
:03:43. > :03:49.said who do we listen to? The White House, or the reassurance from the
:03:50. > :03:54.Cabinet officials? Nobody clear. Rex Tillerson has not been in this
:03:55. > :03:59.position for long but he had his inaugural trip to Germany. What was
:04:00. > :04:08.the mood that you got from that event? It was interesting. It was
:04:09. > :04:12.almost like meet and greet on speed. He had meetings with 14 different
:04:13. > :04:16.foreign ministers, it was an official way to get to know a lot of
:04:17. > :04:22.people quickly without having to do a lot of trouble. He tried to throw
:04:23. > :04:29.some balance into the uncertainty, taking a tougher line on Russia and
:04:30. > :04:35.repeated boiler plate reassurances for Nato. All of that was welcomed.
:04:36. > :04:46.He was greeted as being quite sober, somebody who took policy seriously.
:04:47. > :04:51.But who do we listen to? Who has got the power? Then British Foreign
:04:52. > :04:55.Secretary summed up that ambivalence, he said he was happy
:04:56. > :05:01.after meeting Rex Tillerson, but not least because I have to be.
:05:02. > :05:06.Interesting. We talk a lot about the White House, and the state of play
:05:07. > :05:10.with on that. But what about the State Department, that other huge
:05:11. > :05:16.institution, how would you describe that, looking closely under Rex
:05:17. > :05:20.Tillerson over recent weeks? It is a good question. Rex Tillerson, the
:05:21. > :05:29.head. And he has been keeping a low profile. At Bonn, we were trying to
:05:30. > :05:34.get some comments from him but he was quiet. We have not had briefings
:05:35. > :05:40.for one month, and we used to get them every day. The State Department
:05:41. > :05:47.does not have a voice. That just adds to the question is, how weight
:05:48. > :05:52.much do they have. But I have met him. He seems to be thoughtful,
:05:53. > :05:56.taking policy seriously, taking this building seriously because by all
:05:57. > :06:00.accounts he has consulted widely with experience and be learning from
:06:01. > :06:06.the knowledge. I have been told that he does have regular talks with
:06:07. > :06:09.Donald Trump as well. It is not clear how this is going to work out
:06:10. > :06:16.but we're still waiting to see over the coming days and weeks how this
:06:17. > :06:21.is going to work. Thank you. And we can stay on another strand of these

:06:50. > :06:52.What do you think of the idea of a wall?
:06:53. > :07:09.There's definitely some security measures that might be put in place
:07:10. > :07:12.that will hopefully help alleviate some of the illegal immigrants.
:07:13. > :07:15.But I agree with him, you know, we need immigration.

:09:57. > :10:09.We can speak to John. A lot of people wondering, Wayne Rooney so

:10:16. > :10:20.banned the financial benefits, if Wayne Rooney were to move away from
:10:21. > :10:24.Manchester United he is also getting close to the tail end of his career.
:10:25. > :10:37.He wants to play. This season he has only made eight appearances. Zlatan
:10:38. > :10:42.Ibrahimovic has 29. He wants to be playing and that could be the
:10:43. > :10:49.motivation for a possible move away. We know we have had interest from
:10:50. > :10:56.China, and Wayne Rooney has had talks. We understand they fell down.
:10:57. > :11:00.The transfer window closes on Tuesday next week. We do not believe
:11:01. > :11:04.a potential move is going to happen before that day but by the end of
:11:05. > :11:07.the season it is possible that Wayne Rooney could move from Manchester
:11:08. > :11:16.United. Obviously, after 13 years and I huge amount of silver were
:11:17. > :11:19.that could be huge. China, Manilla, another club, it certainly seems
:11:20. > :11:25.likely that he is going to move. And he was not in the match day squad
:11:26. > :11:39.today. Playing in the Europa league. They have defeated St Etienne, goals
:11:40. > :11:43.from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan. The absence of Wayne
:11:44. > :11:48.Rooney, we do not know why but significant perhaps he was not in
:11:49. > :11:51.the squad. Wherever he is, Manchester, China, an interesting

:11:55. > :11:56.not two sports you'd But as you're about to see -
:11:57. > :12:02.more teams are turning to dancing The BBC's Jenny Lawrence

:12:16. > :12:21.classes are regular feature of training for the 16 and 19-year-old
:12:22. > :12:28.stars. When this came about, I did not know. The boys probably thought
:12:29. > :12:32.it was going to be fun. But a lot of American football teams have done
:12:33. > :12:36.this. We get a lot of ankle injuries and this is one we that we are
:12:37. > :12:45.trying to prevent that. So have they enjoyed swapping the rugby boots for
:12:46. > :12:51.ballet? I was shocked and hesitant, but when we were told it was not a
:12:52. > :12:55.joke, we just had to jump in. It actually gives us a break from rugby
:12:56. > :13:01.when we are training, it is good for your mindset knees. And everybody
:13:02. > :13:05.has noticed that ankle injuries strengthening. Despite what a lot of
:13:06. > :13:11.people think, it is tough training. I have never had sore legs leaked
:13:12. > :13:16.after doing this. I am enjoying it. I am always talking to my sister who
:13:17. > :13:22.does this as well. She has been teaching me things. It is good. And
:13:23. > :13:26.the ballet teacher hopes that more teams will eventually see the
:13:27. > :13:29.benefits. I have been working hard to try to look at how we have been
:13:30. > :13:34.getting injured and what movements we can do. They have been working so
:13:35. > :13:40.hard, and the improvement over such a short time, they are just

:13:44. > :13:52.future stars will be hoping that can help them dance to success. What do

:16:28. > :16:32.and we had no expectations to set out that we should do those visits

:16:36. > :16:41.consultation needs to be that we are the walking relationship. Not some
:16:42. > :16:49.distant relationship. You have got to have an automatic rate without
