:00:18. > :00:25.We will do more with less and make the government lean and accountable.
:00:26. > :00:33.A hike in military spending, $54 billion. The father of a Navy SEALs
:00:34. > :00:39.who died in the US mission in Yemen was ordered by Donald Trump has
:00:40. > :00:45.refused to meet the president and wants an investigation. I cannot
:00:46. > :00:49.believe you have not seen this. There is a mistake! Moonlight, you
:00:50. > :00:56.won best picture. Moonlight. Best picture. The mistake is part of the
:00:57. > :01:02.Oscars story and so is the victory of a film about a young gay
:01:03. > :01:06.African-American. More later. Millions of people are without clean
:01:07. > :01:14.water in Chile because of mudslides. If you want to get in touch in the
:01:15. > :01:19.programme, get in touch. You can not or e-mail us. -- you can also
:01:20. > :01:39.e-mail. I begin the programme with important
:01:40. > :01:44.stories from the US, Donald Trump is proposing a $54 billion increase in
:01:45. > :01:49.military spending. To give the context, this chart shows the 2015
:01:50. > :01:57.government spending in green is the military budget accounting for 16%
:01:58. > :02:03.of the whole budget. The plan this year is a 10% hike on that. This is
:02:04. > :02:08.what he said. The defence spending increase will be offset and paid for
:02:09. > :02:11.by finding greater savings and efficiencies across the federal
:02:12. > :02:17.government. We will do more with less. We will do more with less and
:02:18. > :02:27.make the government lean and accountable to the people, we can do
:02:28. > :02:32.more with the money we spend. If he creates a lean machine, is there
:02:33. > :02:43.enough slack to get $54 billion? It is tough requiring significant cuts.
:02:44. > :02:47.Social Security, Medicare and those are items that Donald Trump said he
:02:48. > :02:52.would not touch in the campaign. Then you look at a much smaller
:02:53. > :02:57.segment, the size of military spending, everything else in the
:02:58. > :03:01.budget, environmental Protection Agency, the entire budget for that
:03:02. > :03:07.agency is only $8 billion, not as much to cover the proposed increase
:03:08. > :03:12.in military spending. The State Department, their budget is $50
:03:13. > :03:17.billion, equivalent to the spending increase. He will have to cut across
:03:18. > :03:23.the board in discretionary spending making double-digit cuts, they will
:03:24. > :03:28.have an impact. Assuming he finds this money, how will you justify
:03:29. > :03:31.spending it given the US military is all ready huge question mark he said
:03:32. > :03:37.over the course of the campaign that he was spending money in order to
:03:38. > :03:42.rebuild the military, the military was run down, he said the US have
:03:43. > :03:48.stopped winning wars and he was promising that the US will win wars.
:03:49. > :03:53.He sees a crisis in the military can he sees the US military in its own
:03:54. > :03:56.terms being run down, he is not comparing it to China which is a
:03:57. > :04:02.fraction of the US military budget and Russia is the tenth of the
:04:03. > :04:06.budget. He views it as being an important place to spend money, the
:04:07. > :04:13.top priority. We have not heard details on anything else but this.
:04:14. > :04:20.That is the first, secondly, the former US President George W Bush
:04:21. > :04:26.has been discussing the attacks on the press. Here is President Bush. I
:04:27. > :04:32.consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We need
:04:33. > :04:37.an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be
:04:38. > :04:42.addictive and it can be corrosive and it is important for the media to
:04:43. > :04:46.call to account people who abuse the power. Whether it is here or
:04:47. > :04:52.elsewhere. One thing I spend time doing was trying to convince
:04:53. > :05:00.Vladimir Putin to accept the notion of an independent press. It is hard
:05:01. > :05:03.to tell others to have an independent free press when we're
:05:04. > :05:07.not willing to have one ourselves. The thing that surprised me is
:05:08. > :05:12.George Bush has shown no real interest in commentating on politics
:05:13. > :05:17.since he left the White House. No, he was quiet during the entirety of
:05:18. > :05:21.the Obama administration. Now he is touring for an art book getting out
:05:22. > :05:26.in front of the media and he'll be asked questions but it did not shirk
:05:27. > :05:47.it. He was very vocal about his views. They were slightly veiled but
:05:48. > :05:51.as president he is diminishing the US ability to represent itself as an
:05:52. > :05:55.ideal throughout the world. Quickly, I am reading a tweet from Hillary
:05:56. > :06:01.Clinton talking about hate crimes, not a first intervention. What is
:06:02. > :06:06.her gain? It is interesting, Hillary Clinton is slowly getting more
:06:07. > :06:09.involved in responding, Donald Trump is tweeting more sharp pointed
:06:10. > :06:13.comments directed at the president and I think she wants to be a part
:06:14. > :06:19.of the national political dialogue. She does not quite know how she fits
:06:20. > :06:30.in. It is playing out in these tweets, she will not... She may take
:06:31. > :06:34.on an elder statesman role. Well, that tweet is this one from Hillary
:06:35. > :06:38.Clinton saying with threats and hate crimes on the rise, we should not
:06:39. > :06:42.have to tell the president to do his part comedy must step up and speak
:06:43. > :06:47.out. She linked to an article about the killing of an Indian immigrant
:06:48. > :06:52.in Kansas last week. The man accused of killing him reportedly shouted
:06:53. > :06:55.get out of my country is that he's appearing in court in Kansas today.
:06:56. > :07:01.Police are investigating whether the shooting was a hate crime. The BBC
:07:02. > :07:11.has travelled to Kansas to meet family and friends of the victim.
:07:12. > :07:13.The message at this vigil, stand by everyone.
:07:14. > :07:15.People from all faiths and communities came here to mourn
:07:16. > :07:18.a man who lived and worked in the City.
:07:19. > :07:22.32-year-old Srinivas Kuchibhotla was an engineer who moved
:07:23. > :07:27.After work last week he went for a drink with his best friend
:07:28. > :07:34.He randomly comes up and start pointing fingers.
:07:35. > :07:41.He came towards me and said, which country are you from?
:07:42. > :07:46.The man was escorted out of the bar as eyewitnesses heard him shout,
:07:47. > :07:51.get out of my country, but he later returned.
:07:52. > :07:54.You are drinking beer, you're with your friend,
:07:55. > :08:06.Next thing I know, I was on the ground.
:08:07. > :08:12.Two down, gunshot wound to the chest.
:08:13. > :08:16.Srinivas was killed in the attack which left a local injured.
:08:17. > :08:20.I was more than happy to risk my attacks to help others.
:08:21. > :08:26.This man chased the gunmen, was also shot and is recovering in hospital.
:08:27. > :08:29.51-year-old Adam Purinton has been charged with murder and attempted
:08:30. > :08:35.murder and the FBI is investigating whether this was a hate crime.
:08:36. > :08:38.Srinivas and his wife had built a life together in America
:08:39. > :08:42.but in recent months he had become concerned about living here.
:08:43. > :08:47.When the recent elections happened, he was watching it so closely.
:08:48. > :08:49.I was talking to Srinivas and I was like, Will we be
:08:50. > :09:05.I think that the hate crime will be more open now.
:09:06. > :09:10.Will it be safe for us to go to the mall, will it be safe for us
:09:11. > :09:16.He hugged me like this and he said don't worry, we should be OK.
:09:17. > :09:22.Just days after the attack, Austins Bar and Grill has reopened.
:09:23. > :09:24.Police are investigating whether the two men were targeted
:09:25. > :09:28.For now, people here want to stress that this is a community
:09:29. > :09:41.that welcomes people from all backgrounds.
:09:42. > :09:46.That report and more information on what happened in Kansas last week is
:09:47. > :09:54.available online whenever you want to access it. I Sibille four stories
:09:55. > :10:01.to talk about, this is the fourth because this man was a Navy SEALs
:10:02. > :10:09.and he was killed during the raid on an Al-Qaeda compound in Yemen.
:10:10. > :10:12.Donald Trump signed off on the meal -- deal. Several civilians
:10:13. > :10:18.including children were also killed during the attack. It has been
:10:19. > :10:23.revealed that his father refused to meet Donald Trump following the
:10:24. > :10:28.death. This is a quote via the Miami Herald. The government owes my son
:10:29. > :10:33.and investigation, why was there this stupid mission when it was not
:10:34. > :10:38.even a week into the administration, why? Donald Trump says he signed off
:10:39. > :10:47.on a mission in the name of US national security. I spoke to BBC
:10:48. > :10:51.Arabic for more details. Firstly, the mission was put forward to
:10:52. > :10:55.president Obama before President Trump took office. President Obama
:10:56. > :10:58.said there was not sufficient intelligence to go ahead and was
:10:59. > :11:04.waiting for more information and he said it would mean a big step in
:11:05. > :11:10.change of policy towards counterterrorism and how they deal
:11:11. > :11:15.with it regarding the US in Yemen. But, the father of the Navy SEALs
:11:16. > :11:21.said it was a grand display and that is what it was. It was President
:11:22. > :11:27.Trump showing how he will deal with counterterrorism in office. It went
:11:28. > :11:31.wrong. How does this raid and the aftermath affect America and
:11:32. > :11:37.Al-Qaeda and how does it fit into the equation? In this situation,
:11:38. > :11:44.Al-Qaeda will use something like this to sweep into the families
:11:45. > :11:50.affected who had children killed or husbands killed and use it as an
:11:51. > :11:55.opportunity to recruit. As for the US, there is a situation where
:11:56. > :11:59.President Trump has to rethink the way in which he deals with
:12:00. > :12:03.operations like this. It was a big mistake, his first counterterrorism
:12:04. > :12:09.operation and it went wrong. It was the first time in two years the US
:12:10. > :12:12.has put boots on the ground in Yemen and a Navy SEALs killed. There needs
:12:13. > :12:19.to be an investigation and he needs to think how he would deal with
:12:20. > :12:23.operations in the Middle East. This is an intriguing story, the UK
:12:24. > :12:27.former Conservative premise to John Major has made a sharp intervention
:12:28. > :12:32.on the issue of Brexit calling on the current Conservative government
:12:33. > :12:36.to show more charm and less cheap rhetoric towards the rest of the
:12:37. > :12:39.European Union and he says the costs of Brexit will be substantial and is
:12:40. > :13:10.unpalatable. Sir John Major really going forward.
:13:11. > :13:15.He was known as being mild mannered when he was Prime Minister and I
:13:16. > :13:22.guess in terms of tone of voice, he was quite mild in the delivery but
:13:23. > :13:26.the content was really quite spiky. But extracts, he felt plenty of
:13:27. > :13:32.people on the remains side of the argument in the British referendum
:13:33. > :13:37.are being shut down in the debate in the UK and he thinks those who
:13:38. > :13:41.advocated Brexit have been too optimistic about the upsides and
:13:42. > :13:47.have not really been drawn on the downside. He said his big fear was
:13:48. > :13:51.the people in the country least able to cope potentially with what he
:13:52. > :13:55.sees as the negative of Brexit or what he fears will be the ones least
:13:56. > :14:01.able to look after themselves and help themselves back on to their
:14:02. > :14:05.feet so a stinging criticism of the government and the whole idea of
:14:06. > :14:09.Brexit which he thinks has been a mistake. Perhaps that is not a
:14:10. > :14:12.surprise given he campaigned for Bremain in the first place but
:14:13. > :14:20.former pro ministers are listens to and that is why he need a speech
:14:21. > :14:24.would generate attention. It is an interesting and important
:14:25. > :14:28.subject, a referendum campaign but what is he trying to achieve because
:14:29. > :14:33.the UK Government only has the options given a result of the
:14:34. > :14:37.referendum on the position of the EU? Quite and those who articulate
:14:38. > :14:40.the government position or support the government within the governing
:14:41. > :14:44.Conservative Party have made the argument since the speech that of
:14:45. > :14:49.course the government will talk up the good game at the moment about
:14:50. > :14:55.Britain's prospects for a decent deal with the EU with the
:14:56. > :15:00.negotiations a matter of weeks away. I spoke to one conservative who said
:15:01. > :15:04.when you went to any negotiation you sound positive, that does not mean
:15:05. > :15:11.you are not alive to the fact compromises must be made but at the
:15:12. > :15:14.outset you have to sound positive. For Sir John Major, he was trying to
:15:15. > :15:19.move on from the discussion about what happened in the campaign to the
:15:20. > :15:24.tone of the discussion of the debate in the UK since the campaign. I
:15:25. > :15:29.guess he is also trying to weigh in and hope he will be listens to in
:15:30. > :15:34.government in terms of his hopes and concerns and fears about how Britain
:15:35. > :15:38.will cope outside of the European Union. These are the opening
:15:39. > :15:42.skirmishes of the Brexit debate because the whole business of
:15:43. > :15:46.leaving triggering article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union has not
:15:47. > :17:18.yet happened but will happen within a month.
:17:19. > :17:26.Of the 2500 and early 2000 cases we do not think there was any evidence
:17:27. > :17:38.and we are going through the remaining ones.
:17:39. > :17:46.We are live in the BBC newsroom. Donald Trump is to seek to boost
:17:47. > :17:57.defence spending by 10% in his proposed budget for 2018. We have
:17:58. > :18:02.had stories in the UK, US and Yemen, next Chile because millions in
:18:03. > :18:14.Santiago are without clean water caused by mudslides which in turn
:18:15. > :18:18.were caused by torrential rain. Daniel, thank you. Give us an idea
:18:19. > :18:24.of what needs to be done to get clean water to these people. Well,
:18:25. > :18:28.it is difficult because imagine in the middle of one of the biggest
:18:29. > :18:33.mountain ranges in the world, the Andes which are covered in wildlife
:18:34. > :18:39.of all sorts and forest and when you add to that tonnes of aggressive
:18:40. > :18:44.water storms generating thick mud that comes into the rivers and
:18:45. > :18:50.reservoirs which other source of water for millions of people. You
:18:51. > :18:56.have to build Ponds and collect water and have reservoirs so it is
:18:57. > :19:02.difficult. The weather has been very dry in Chile. Is that reason the
:19:03. > :19:10.rain has come it is causing not really. Specialists say the cause of
:19:11. > :19:16.this is global warming. There was consensus. In the sense that we are
:19:17. > :19:21.living through summer, the weather is supposed to be nice right now but
:19:22. > :19:30.it is unpredictable what happens on these rains were not expected here.
:19:31. > :19:33.Therein mind Chile has a long history of catastrophe -- bear in
:19:34. > :19:41.mind. The worst wildfires took place here and there has been a severe
:19:42. > :19:46.eight years long drought. It is difficult to know how this comes and
:19:47. > :19:51.how do you act on it but what it seems is Chileans are prepared for
:19:52. > :19:56.this, partly because of their history of catastrophe and solutions
:19:57. > :20:02.seem to come on their way. We appreciate your update. We will
:20:03. > :20:07.speak to again tomorrow to see if clean water is being delivered to
:20:08. > :20:15.those who need it in Chile. Later, back to American politics, this man
:20:16. > :20:18.is expected to be confirmed as the commerce secretary. He is a
:20:19. > :20:21.billionaire businessman and he will be in the company of lots of
:20:22. > :20:27.billionaire businessmen because there are a number in a cabinet.
:20:28. > :20:34.Michelle is live from Wall Street. For people who do not know him,
:20:35. > :20:40.introduce us. Well, one moniker is the king of bankruptcy because a lot
:20:41. > :20:45.of his fortune was made buying up companies in trouble and turning
:20:46. > :20:52.them around and seeing profits that no one else did. An example in 2002
:20:53. > :20:56.buying some steelwork companies that were going into bankruptcy thus
:20:57. > :21:02.saving thousands of jobs, that earned him a lot of support amongst
:21:03. > :21:07.labour unions and the Democrat party and you have seen that reflected
:21:08. > :21:11.perhaps in the way he has been treated in these confirmation
:21:12. > :21:16.hearings, not as contentious as some of the other cabinet picks. He is a
:21:17. > :21:21.billionaire, he is well known on Wall Street, no stranger running a
:21:22. > :21:24.private equity firm which he said if he is confirmed as commerce
:21:25. > :21:28.secretary he will separate himself from a business but not completely
:21:29. > :21:36.of all his business interests. He is worth around $3 billion so no change
:21:37. > :21:41.there and we are waiting to see whether or not one of the questions
:21:42. > :21:47.that has existed has been some of his relationship and ties to Russia
:21:48. > :21:50.and a bank in Cyprus. Michelle, explain how the role of commerce
:21:51. > :21:57.secretary fits into the broader roles within the administration.
:21:58. > :22:03.Yeah, that is good, if you think about it, the job of, secretary is
:22:04. > :22:10.to increase American exports to the rest of the world, the other aspect
:22:11. > :22:15.is it is to attract business to the US. Really, he is in many senses
:22:16. > :22:22.trying to create the environment that is best for business. One cheap
:22:23. > :22:26.task many think he will be asked to lead is negotiations of Nafta, the
:22:27. > :22:29.trade deal with Canada and Mexico and something Donald Trump has said
:22:30. > :22:36.is a priority. Michelle, thank you for that. Major enquiry into
:22:37. > :22:41.historical sexual abuse of British children began hearing evidence
:22:42. > :22:42.today from people who are sent overseas as children the Second
:22:43. > :22:51.World War. It is a cruel detail that
:22:52. > :22:53.some of Britain's child migrants were falsely
:22:54. > :22:58.told their parents had died. For decades there had been
:22:59. > :23:00.efforts to reunite them Now an inquiry, with many
:23:01. > :23:04.of the powers of a court, is sitting down to the job
:23:05. > :23:09.of understanding why it happened. Child migration programmes
:23:10. > :23:10.were large-scale schemes, in which thousands of children,
:23:11. > :23:14.many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate
:23:15. > :23:19.or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently
:23:20. > :23:21.migrated to remote parts The liner Asturias arrives
:23:22. > :23:27.at Fremantle from Great Britain with 931 new migrants
:23:28. > :23:30.for this country. We anticipate that you will hear
:23:31. > :23:32.evidence that these children were put on board ships departing
:23:33. > :23:35.from England and Wales without being given any real understanding
:23:36. > :23:37.of where they were going, what they were doing,
:23:38. > :23:41.or why they were being sent. More than 4,000 ended up
:23:42. > :23:44.in farm schools or remote religious institutions,
:23:45. > :23:47.mainly in Australia. Physical labour, poor
:23:48. > :23:51.food, mistreatment. This is what they'll
:23:52. > :23:54.tell the inquiry. We were sent to what we can only
:23:55. > :23:57.describe as labour camps. Where we were starved, beaten
:23:58. > :24:02.and abused in despicable ways. Sexual abuse, worst at religious
:24:03. > :24:05.institutions like this one, is what this inquiry
:24:06. > :24:08.is really about. This man in a suit came
:24:09. > :24:15.to see me and said, "Your mother's dead,
:24:16. > :24:17.you know, so, how'd In 2011, the story of
:24:18. > :24:21.a Nottinghamshire social worker, Margaret Humphreys' battle
:24:22. > :24:23.to uncover the scandal was made She has campaigned for 30 years
:24:24. > :24:31.for today's hearings. We want to know what's happened,
:24:32. > :24:34.we want to know who did it and we want to know who covered it
:24:35. > :24:37.up for so long. There are consequences
:24:38. > :24:42.for children, today. But this is just the start
:24:43. > :24:44.of something bigger. This inquiry will cover abuse
:24:45. > :24:47.in Lambeth and Nottinghamshire children homes, schools in Rochdale,
:24:48. > :24:50.custodial institutions, residential schools,
:24:51. > :24:52.and both the Anglican Yet resignations and controversy
:24:53. > :25:00.have delayed this work. And today, there was another
:25:01. > :25:03.untimely embarrassment, the inquiry sent out an e-mail
:25:04. > :25:06.in which it was possible to read the e-mail addresses
:25:07. > :25:10.of everyone who received it, including some people who have
:25:11. > :25:12.been sexually abused The inquiry has had to report itself
:25:13. > :25:20.to the Information Commissioner. These are the very people
:25:21. > :25:23.that we are supposed to be relying Especially the details
:25:24. > :25:27.about our abuse. And so it has made some
