on the weather website, I'll be back in have an hour.

:00:00.:00:17.

We will do more with less and make the government lean and accountable.

:00:18.:00:25.

A hike in military spending, $54 billion. The father of a Navy SEALs

:00:26.:00:33.

who died in the US mission in Yemen was ordered by Donald Trump has

:00:34.:00:39.

refused to meet the president and wants an investigation. I cannot

:00:40.:00:45.

believe you have not seen this. There is a mistake! Moonlight, you

:00:46.:00:49.

won best picture. Moonlight. Best picture. The mistake is part of the

:00:50.:00:56.

Oscars story and so is the victory of a film about a young gay

:00:57.:01:02.

African-American. More later. Millions of people are without clean

:01:03.:01:06.

water in Chile because of mudslides. If you want to get in touch in the

:01:07.:01:14.

programme, get in touch. You can not or e-mail us. -- you can also

:01:15.:01:19.

e-mail. I begin the programme with important

:01:20.:01:39.

stories from the US, Donald Trump is proposing a $54 billion increase in

:01:40.:01:44.

military spending. To give the context, this chart shows the 2015

:01:45.:01:49.

government spending in green is the military budget accounting for 16%

:01:50.:01:57.

of the whole budget. The plan this year is a 10% hike on that. This is

:01:58.:02:03.

what he said. The defence spending increase will be offset and paid for

:02:04.:02:08.

by finding greater savings and efficiencies across the federal

:02:09.:02:11.

government. We will do more with less. We will do more with less and

:02:12.:02:17.

make the government lean and accountable to the people, we can do

:02:18.:02:27.

more with the money we spend. If he creates a lean machine, is there

:02:28.:02:32.

enough slack to get $54 billion? It is tough requiring significant cuts.

:02:33.:02:43.

Social Security, Medicare and those are items that Donald Trump said he

:02:44.:02:47.

would not touch in the campaign. Then you look at a much smaller

:02:48.:02:52.

segment, the size of military spending, everything else in the

:02:53.:02:57.

budget, environmental Protection Agency, the entire budget for that

:02:58.:03:01.

agency is only $8 billion, not as much to cover the proposed increase

:03:02.:03:07.

in military spending. The State Department, their budget is $50

:03:08.:03:12.

billion, equivalent to the spending increase. He will have to cut across

:03:13.:03:17.

the board in discretionary spending making double-digit cuts, they will

:03:18.:03:23.

have an impact. Assuming he finds this money, how will you justify

:03:24.:03:28.

spending it given the US military is all ready huge question mark he said

:03:29.:03:31.

over the course of the campaign that he was spending money in order to

:03:32.:03:37.

rebuild the military, the military was run down, he said the US have

:03:38.:03:42.

stopped winning wars and he was promising that the US will win wars.

:03:43.:03:48.

He sees a crisis in the military can he sees the US military in its own

:03:49.:03:53.

terms being run down, he is not comparing it to China which is a

:03:54.:03:56.

fraction of the US military budget and Russia is the tenth of the

:03:57.:04:02.

budget. He views it as being an important place to spend money, the

:04:03.:04:06.

top priority. We have not heard details on anything else but this.

:04:07.:04:13.

That is the first, secondly, the former US President George W Bush

:04:14.:04:20.

has been discussing the attacks on the press. Here is President Bush. I

:04:21.:04:26.

consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We need

:04:27.:04:32.

an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be

:04:33.:04:37.

addictive and it can be corrosive and it is important for the media to

:04:38.:04:42.

call to account people who abuse the power. Whether it is here or

:04:43.:04:46.

elsewhere. One thing I spend time doing was trying to convince

:04:47.:04:52.

Vladimir Putin to accept the notion of an independent press. It is hard

:04:53.:05:00.

to tell others to have an independent free press when we're

:05:01.:05:03.

not willing to have one ourselves. The thing that surprised me is

:05:04.:05:07.

George Bush has shown no real interest in commentating on politics

:05:08.:05:12.

since he left the White House. No, he was quiet during the entirety of

:05:13.:05:17.

the Obama administration. Now he is touring for an art book getting out

:05:18.:05:21.

in front of the media and he'll be asked questions but it did not shirk

:05:22.:05:26.

it. He was very vocal about his views. They were slightly veiled but

:05:27.:05:47.

as president he is diminishing the US ability to represent itself as an

:05:48.:05:51.

ideal throughout the world. Quickly, I am reading a tweet from Hillary

:05:52.:05:55.

Clinton talking about hate crimes, not a first intervention. What is

:05:56.:06:01.

her gain? It is interesting, Hillary Clinton is slowly getting more

:06:02.:06:06.

involved in responding, Donald Trump is tweeting more sharp pointed

:06:07.:06:09.

comments directed at the president and I think she wants to be a part

:06:10.:06:13.

of the national political dialogue. She does not quite know how she fits

:06:14.:06:19.

in. It is playing out in these tweets, she will not... She may take

:06:20.:06:30.

on an elder statesman role. Well, that tweet is this one from Hillary

:06:31.:06:34.

Clinton saying with threats and hate crimes on the rise, we should not

:06:35.:06:38.

have to tell the president to do his part comedy must step up and speak

:06:39.:06:42.

out. She linked to an article about the killing of an Indian immigrant

:06:43.:06:47.

in Kansas last week. The man accused of killing him reportedly shouted

:06:48.:06:52.

get out of my country is that he's appearing in court in Kansas today.

:06:53.:06:55.

Police are investigating whether the shooting was a hate crime. The BBC

:06:56.:07:01.

has travelled to Kansas to meet family and friends of the victim.

:07:02.:07:11.

The message at this vigil, stand by everyone.

:07:12.:07:13.

People from all faiths and communities came here to mourn

:07:14.:07:15.

a man who lived and worked in the City.

:07:16.:07:18.

32-year-old Srinivas Kuchibhotla was an engineer who moved

:07:19.:07:22.

After work last week he went for a drink with his best friend

:07:23.:07:27.

He randomly comes up and start pointing fingers.

:07:28.:07:34.

He came towards me and said, which country are you from?

:07:35.:07:41.

The man was escorted out of the bar as eyewitnesses heard him shout,

:07:42.:07:46.

get out of my country, but he later returned.

:07:47.:07:51.

You are drinking beer, you're with your friend,

:07:52.:07:54.

Next thing I know, I was on the ground.

:07:55.:08:06.

Two down, gunshot wound to the chest.

:08:07.:08:12.

Srinivas was killed in the attack which left a local injured.

:08:13.:08:16.

I was more than happy to risk my attacks to help others.

:08:17.:08:20.

This man chased the gunmen, was also shot and is recovering in hospital.

:08:21.:08:26.

51-year-old Adam Purinton has been charged with murder and attempted

:08:27.:08:29.

murder and the FBI is investigating whether this was a hate crime.

:08:30.:08:35.

Srinivas and his wife had built a life together in America

:08:36.:08:38.

but in recent months he had become concerned about living here.

:08:39.:08:42.

When the recent elections happened, he was watching it so closely.

:08:43.:08:47.

I was talking to Srinivas and I was like, Will we be

:08:48.:08:49.

I think that the hate crime will be more open now.

:08:50.:09:05.

Will it be safe for us to go to the mall, will it be safe for us

:09:06.:09:10.

He hugged me like this and he said don't worry, we should be OK.

:09:11.:09:16.

Just days after the attack, Austins Bar and Grill has reopened.

:09:17.:09:22.

Police are investigating whether the two men were targeted

:09:23.:09:24.

For now, people here want to stress that this is a community

:09:25.:09:28.

that welcomes people from all backgrounds.

:09:29.:09:41.

That report and more information on what happened in Kansas last week is

:09:42.:09:46.

available online whenever you want to access it. I Sibille four stories

:09:47.:09:54.

to talk about, this is the fourth because this man was a Navy SEALs

:09:55.:10:01.

and he was killed during the raid on an Al-Qaeda compound in Yemen.

:10:02.:10:09.

Donald Trump signed off on the meal -- deal. Several civilians

:10:10.:10:12.

including children were also killed during the attack. It has been

:10:13.:10:18.

revealed that his father refused to meet Donald Trump following the

:10:19.:10:23.

death. This is a quote via the Miami Herald. The government owes my son

:10:24.:10:28.

and investigation, why was there this stupid mission when it was not

:10:29.:10:33.

even a week into the administration, why? Donald Trump says he signed off

:10:34.:10:38.

on a mission in the name of US national security. I spoke to BBC

:10:39.:10:47.

Arabic for more details. Firstly, the mission was put forward to

:10:48.:10:51.

president Obama before President Trump took office. President Obama

:10:52.:10:55.

said there was not sufficient intelligence to go ahead and was

:10:56.:10:58.

waiting for more information and he said it would mean a big step in

:10:59.:11:04.

change of policy towards counterterrorism and how they deal

:11:05.:11:10.

with it regarding the US in Yemen. But, the father of the Navy SEALs

:11:11.:11:15.

said it was a grand display and that is what it was. It was President

:11:16.:11:21.

Trump showing how he will deal with counterterrorism in office. It went

:11:22.:11:27.

wrong. How does this raid and the aftermath affect America and

:11:28.:11:31.

Al-Qaeda and how does it fit into the equation? In this situation,

:11:32.:11:37.

Al-Qaeda will use something like this to sweep into the families

:11:38.:11:44.

affected who had children killed or husbands killed and use it as an

:11:45.:11:50.

opportunity to recruit. As for the US, there is a situation where

:11:51.:11:55.

President Trump has to rethink the way in which he deals with

:11:56.:11:59.

operations like this. It was a big mistake, his first counterterrorism

:12:00.:12:03.

operation and it went wrong. It was the first time in two years the US

:12:04.:12:09.

has put boots on the ground in Yemen and a Navy SEALs killed. There needs

:12:10.:12:12.

to be an investigation and he needs to think how he would deal with

:12:13.:12:19.

operations in the Middle East. This is an intriguing story, the UK

:12:20.:12:23.

former Conservative premise to John Major has made a sharp intervention

:12:24.:12:27.

on the issue of Brexit calling on the current Conservative government

:12:28.:12:32.

to show more charm and less cheap rhetoric towards the rest of the

:12:33.:12:36.

European Union and he says the costs of Brexit will be substantial and is

:12:37.:12:39.

unpalatable. Sir John Major really going forward.

:12:40.:13:10.

He was known as being mild mannered when he was Prime Minister and I

:13:11.:13:15.

guess in terms of tone of voice, he was quite mild in the delivery but

:13:16.:13:22.

the content was really quite spiky. But extracts, he felt plenty of

:13:23.:13:26.

people on the remains side of the argument in the British referendum

:13:27.:13:32.

are being shut down in the debate in the UK and he thinks those who

:13:33.:13:37.

advocated Brexit have been too optimistic about the upsides and

:13:38.:13:41.

have not really been drawn on the downside. He said his big fear was

:13:42.:13:47.

the people in the country least able to cope potentially with what he

:13:48.:13:51.

sees as the negative of Brexit or what he fears will be the ones least

:13:52.:13:55.

able to look after themselves and help themselves back on to their

:13:56.:14:01.

feet so a stinging criticism of the government and the whole idea of

:14:02.:14:05.

Brexit which he thinks has been a mistake. Perhaps that is not a

:14:06.:14:09.

surprise given he campaigned for Bremain in the first place but

:14:10.:14:12.

former pro ministers are listens to and that is why he need a speech

:14:13.:14:20.

would generate attention. It is an interesting and important

:14:21.:14:24.

subject, a referendum campaign but what is he trying to achieve because

:14:25.:14:28.

the UK Government only has the options given a result of the

:14:29.:14:33.

referendum on the position of the EU? Quite and those who articulate

:14:34.:14:37.

the government position or support the government within the governing

:14:38.:14:40.

Conservative Party have made the argument since the speech that of

:14:41.:14:44.

course the government will talk up the good game at the moment about

:14:45.:14:49.

Britain's prospects for a decent deal with the EU with the

:14:50.:14:55.

negotiations a matter of weeks away. I spoke to one conservative who said

:14:56.:15:00.

when you went to any negotiation you sound positive, that does not mean

:15:01.:15:04.

you are not alive to the fact compromises must be made but at the

:15:05.:15:11.

outset you have to sound positive. For Sir John Major, he was trying to

:15:12.:15:14.

move on from the discussion about what happened in the campaign to the

:15:15.:15:19.

tone of the discussion of the debate in the UK since the campaign. I

:15:20.:15:24.

guess he is also trying to weigh in and hope he will be listens to in

:15:25.:15:29.

government in terms of his hopes and concerns and fears about how Britain

:15:30.:15:34.

will cope outside of the European Union. These are the opening

:15:35.:15:38.

skirmishes of the Brexit debate because the whole business of

:15:39.:15:42.

leaving triggering article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union has not

:15:43.:15:46.

yet happened but will happen within a month.

:15:47.:17:18.

Of the 2500 and early 2000 cases we do not think there was any evidence

:17:19.:17:26.

and we are going through the remaining ones.

:17:27.:17:38.

We are live in the BBC newsroom. Donald Trump is to seek to boost

:17:39.:17:46.

defence spending by 10% in his proposed budget for 2018. We have

:17:47.:17:57.

had stories in the UK, US and Yemen, next Chile because millions in

:17:58.:18:02.

Santiago are without clean water caused by mudslides which in turn

:18:03.:18:14.

were caused by torrential rain. Daniel, thank you. Give us an idea

:18:15.:18:18.

of what needs to be done to get clean water to these people. Well,

:18:19.:18:24.

it is difficult because imagine in the middle of one of the biggest

:18:25.:18:28.

mountain ranges in the world, the Andes which are covered in wildlife

:18:29.:18:33.

of all sorts and forest and when you add to that tonnes of aggressive

:18:34.:18:39.

water storms generating thick mud that comes into the rivers and

:18:40.:18:44.

reservoirs which other source of water for millions of people. You

:18:45.:18:50.

have to build Ponds and collect water and have reservoirs so it is

:18:51.:18:56.

difficult. The weather has been very dry in Chile. Is that reason the

:18:57.:19:02.

rain has come it is causing not really. Specialists say the cause of

:19:03.:19:10.

this is global warming. There was consensus. In the sense that we are

:19:11.:19:16.

living through summer, the weather is supposed to be nice right now but

:19:17.:19:21.

it is unpredictable what happens on these rains were not expected here.

:19:22.:19:30.

Therein mind Chile has a long history of catastrophe -- bear in

:19:31.:19:33.

mind. The worst wildfires took place here and there has been a severe

:19:34.:19:41.

eight years long drought. It is difficult to know how this comes and

:19:42.:19:46.

how do you act on it but what it seems is Chileans are prepared for

:19:47.:19:51.

this, partly because of their history of catastrophe and solutions

:19:52.:19:56.

seem to come on their way. We appreciate your update. We will

:19:57.:20:02.

speak to again tomorrow to see if clean water is being delivered to

:20:03.:20:07.

those who need it in Chile. Later, back to American politics, this man

:20:08.:20:15.

is expected to be confirmed as the commerce secretary. He is a

:20:16.:20:18.

billionaire businessman and he will be in the company of lots of

:20:19.:20:21.

billionaire businessmen because there are a number in a cabinet.

:20:22.:20:27.

Michelle is live from Wall Street. For people who do not know him,

:20:28.:20:34.

introduce us. Well, one moniker is the king of bankruptcy because a lot

:20:35.:20:40.

of his fortune was made buying up companies in trouble and turning

:20:41.:20:45.

them around and seeing profits that no one else did. An example in 2002

:20:46.:20:52.

buying some steelwork companies that were going into bankruptcy thus

:20:53.:20:56.

saving thousands of jobs, that earned him a lot of support amongst

:20:57.:21:02.

labour unions and the Democrat party and you have seen that reflected

:21:03.:21:07.

perhaps in the way he has been treated in these confirmation

:21:08.:21:11.

hearings, not as contentious as some of the other cabinet picks. He is a

:21:12.:21:16.

billionaire, he is well known on Wall Street, no stranger running a

:21:17.:21:21.

private equity firm which he said if he is confirmed as commerce

:21:22.:21:24.

secretary he will separate himself from a business but not completely

:21:25.:21:28.

of all his business interests. He is worth around $3 billion so no change

:21:29.:21:36.

there and we are waiting to see whether or not one of the questions

:21:37.:21:41.

that has existed has been some of his relationship and ties to Russia

:21:42.:21:47.

and a bank in Cyprus. Michelle, explain how the role of commerce

:21:48.:21:50.

secretary fits into the broader roles within the administration.

:21:51.:21:57.

Yeah, that is good, if you think about it, the job of, secretary is

:21:58.:22:03.

to increase American exports to the rest of the world, the other aspect

:22:04.:22:10.

is it is to attract business to the US. Really, he is in many senses

:22:11.:22:15.

trying to create the environment that is best for business. One cheap

:22:16.:22:22.

task many think he will be asked to lead is negotiations of Nafta, the

:22:23.:22:26.

trade deal with Canada and Mexico and something Donald Trump has said

:22:27.:22:29.

is a priority. Michelle, thank you for that. Major enquiry into

:22:30.:22:36.

historical sexual abuse of British children began hearing evidence

:22:37.:22:41.

today from people who are sent overseas as children the Second

:22:42.:22:42.

World War. It is a cruel detail that

:22:43.:22:51.

some of Britain's child migrants were falsely

:22:52.:22:53.

told their parents had died. For decades there had been

:22:54.:22:58.

efforts to reunite them Now an inquiry, with many

:22:59.:23:00.

of the powers of a court, is sitting down to the job

:23:01.:23:04.

of understanding why it happened. Child migration programmes

:23:05.:23:09.

were large-scale schemes, in which thousands of children,

:23:10.:23:10.

many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate

:23:11.:23:14.

or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently

:23:15.:23:19.

migrated to remote parts The liner Asturias arrives

:23:20.:23:21.

at Fremantle from Great Britain with 931 new migrants

:23:22.:23:27.

for this country. We anticipate that you will hear

:23:28.:23:30.

evidence that these children were put on board ships departing

:23:31.:23:32.

from England and Wales without being given any real understanding

:23:33.:23:35.

of where they were going, what they were doing,

:23:36.:23:37.

or why they were being sent. More than 4,000 ended up

:23:38.:23:41.

in farm schools or remote religious institutions,

:23:42.:23:44.

mainly in Australia. Physical labour, poor

:23:45.:23:47.

food, mistreatment. This is what they'll

:23:48.:23:51.

tell the inquiry. We were sent to what we can only

:23:52.:23:54.

describe as labour camps. Where we were starved, beaten

:23:55.:23:57.

and abused in despicable ways. Sexual abuse, worst at religious

:23:58.:24:02.

institutions like this one, is what this inquiry

:24:03.:24:05.

is really about. This man in a suit came

:24:06.:24:08.

to see me and said, "Your mother's dead,

:24:09.:24:15.

you know, so, how'd In 2011, the story of

:24:16.:24:17.

a Nottinghamshire social worker, Margaret Humphreys' battle

:24:18.:24:21.

to uncover the scandal was made She has campaigned for 30 years

:24:22.:24:23.

for today's hearings. We want to know what's happened,

:24:24.:24:31.

we want to know who did it and we want to know who covered it

:24:32.:24:34.

up for so long. There are consequences

:24:35.:24:37.

for children, today. But this is just the start

:24:38.:24:42.

of something bigger. This inquiry will cover abuse

:24:43.:24:44.

in Lambeth and Nottinghamshire children homes, schools in Rochdale,

:24:45.:24:47.

custodial institutions, residential schools,

:24:48.:24:50.

and both the Anglican Yet resignations and controversy

:24:51.:24:52.

have delayed this work. And today, there was another

:24:53.:25:00.

untimely embarrassment, the inquiry sent out an e-mail

:25:01.:25:03.

in which it was possible to read the e-mail addresses

:25:04.:25:06.

of everyone who received it, including some people who have

:25:07.:25:10.

been sexually abused The inquiry has had to report itself

:25:11.:25:12.

to the Information Commissioner. These are the very people

:25:13.:25:20.

that we are supposed to be relying Especially the details

:25:21.:25:23.

about our abuse. And so it has made some
