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. | |
