:02:23. > :02:26.The man who always said he didn't want to intervene abroad, came to

:03:10. > :03:15.different when you sit behind the desk in the Oval Office.
:03:16. > :03:17.A very different Donald Trump to the one
:03:18. > :03:30.who said this kind of thing right through the Obama years.
:03:31. > :03:33.And that's the basis on which he campaigned as a
:03:34. > :03:35.presidential candidate - that he wouldn't spend
:03:36. > :03:38.American resources abroad, but here at home.
:03:39. > :03:41.He says he now realises that pulling out

:03:52. > :03:56.And I think he is going back to the original purpose, that
:03:57. > :04:01.the reason we came into Afghanistan was because of what happened on 9/11
:04:02. > :04:04.and the fact that Afghanistan was being used as sanctuary and safe
:04:05. > :04:11.The toughest words of his speech were directed

:04:35. > :04:37.broadly, how he expects the US will, in his words, fight to win in

:04:41. > :04:43.The only thing that is certain is that there is still no
:04:44. > :04:46.end in sight for America's longest war.
:04:47. > :04:54.Let's go live now to Washington and our correspondent,
:04:55. > :05:05.What's gone on here - is this a u-turn?
:05:06. > :05:11.It's certainly a U-turn from the President's rhetoric when he was a
:05:12. > :05:16.candidate, when he talked about Afghanistan being a waste of money,
:05:17. > :05:22.by bringing the troops home etc. You heard in his analysis last night the
:05:23. > :05:28.reason why. Once you get behind the desk in the Oval Office, things look
:05:29. > :05:30.different. He is now surrounded by XXX Marine Corps generals with
:05:31. > :05:36.serious Afghan war fighting experience. And the one Man, his
:05:37. > :05:41.chief strategist, who was against the involvement in Afghanistan,
:05:42. > :05:46.Steve Bannon, he has been fired. You can see the confluence of events has
:05:47. > :05:51.come to this moment. It is short on detail. There are key differences
:05:52. > :05:56.from the Obama era. The metrics are different. No specific number on
:05:57. > :06:01.troops, no specific number on when and where drawdown happens. And the
:06:02. > :06:06.one big difference you will see is that he has devolved a lot more
:06:07. > :06:11.power down to the Pentagon. President Obama Ford a lot of his
:06:12. > :06:18.wards from the White House. -- fought. I think Donald Trump has
:06:19. > :06:22.realised that the generals, particularly James matters, are
:06:23. > :06:23.probably best suited to do that. Thank you, Gary.
:06:24. > :06:29.Our diplomatic correspondent, Jonathan Marcus, is here.
:06:30. > :06:36.Short on detail, but what difference could this make on the ground? The
:06:37. > :06:40.situation on the ground is pretty dire for the Afghan government. It
:06:41. > :06:45.barely controls about half of its own territory. It suffered a serious
:06:46. > :06:50.reversals on the battlefield. The crucial thing is bolstering those
:06:51. > :06:52.forces pretty much immediately, and then training particularly special
:06:53. > :06:57.forces who can take the battle to the Taliban. What we are going to
:06:58. > :07:04.see, since it is essentially the generals' plan Mr Trump has adopted,
:07:05. > :07:10.is three things. Significant numbers of trainers and mentors going to
:07:11. > :07:12.Afghanistan. About 3800 US personnel, small numbers of
:07:13. > :07:17.personnel from other Nato countries. This focus will be on training
:07:18. > :07:22.special forces, because they are the most capable of the Afghan units
:07:23. > :07:26.under bearing the the preponderance of the fighting. I think we will
:07:27. > :07:30.probably see an increased role for US air power, certainly a more
:07:31. > :07:35.aggressive role. And I think we are likely to see a more aggressive
:07:36. > :07:40.action by the small number of American combat troops that remain
:07:41. > :07:45.in Afghanistan on a parallel mission, which is a counter mission

:08:39. > :08:47.He was injured on Wednesday. It is thought police are considering

:08:52. > :08:56.opt for a more rudimentary form of attack, using a van and a car the

:09:01. > :09:04.in court, Mohamed Salah, thought to be the owner of the car used in the

:09:13. > :09:17.alleged attackers in it, towards the outskirts of Paris the week before
:09:18. > :09:22.the attacks. Two more men of North African descent, also in court. We

:09:41. > :09:44.after he rushed to help a child on Las Ramblas, ignoring advice
:09:45. > :10:01.We were in the restaurant. We had just eaten. I ordered the bill. I
:10:02. > :10:06.was waiting for the bill. That is when we saw the van. From where we
:10:07. > :10:12.were sitting, you could see it. We saw about five seconds of it. What
:10:13. > :10:16.we saw was tragic. We heard screaming. As we turned and looked,
:10:17. > :10:20.the van was shooting down Las Ramblas. It was hitting people.
:10:21. > :10:26.People were flying everywhere. You could hear the thuds. The thing I
:10:27. > :10:31.remember was the noise. We were 50 yards away. The noise was so clear.
:10:32. > :10:37.It was horrible. When did you first see the boy you went on to help? In
:10:38. > :10:43.the middle of Las Ramblas was the body of a child. That automatically
:10:44. > :10:49.drove me to that child. I knew what I had to do. I just raced to that
:10:50. > :10:52.child. Many of us might have seen the picture of you crouching down
:10:53. > :10:56.beside the boy. What was going through your mind? I was afraid for
:10:57. > :10:58.the boy at that point. When I looked at his
:10:59. > :11:00.injuries, they were severe. I was actually quite emotional
:11:01. > :11:03.as well, because I knew straightaway this boy was eight years old,
:11:04. > :11:08.the same age as my son. Like I said, due to the injuries
:11:09. > :11:10.I was quite upset. The first thing I tried to do
:11:11. > :11:13.was check his pulse, Because of the nature of the
:11:14. > :11:36.injuries, I didn't want to move him. He was a young boy. He was my son's
:11:37. > :11:37.age. That was somebody's child as well.
:11:38. > :11:40.At that point it doesn't matter, I wasn't going to move.
:11:41. > :11:43.The first police officer who came down was screaming at me,
:11:44. > :11:45.he was speaking Spanish, I was screaming at him saying,
:11:46. > :11:49.He was gesturing to me, he said get out of the way,
:11:50. > :11:54.I could see the fear in him and the fear in me.
:11:55. > :12:01.He was trying to say they could be another car or van coming down.
:12:02. > :12:04.I said I wasn't going to move because I wasn't going to move this
:12:05. > :12:05.child. I'm just a common man,
:12:06. > :12:10.the same as anybody else. These situations are occurring

:22:46. > :22:50.Millions of us still drive older, more polluting cars but what's the
:22:51. > :22:55.best way to get them off the road? Ford has become the latest and
:22:56. > :22:59.biggest firm to offer a scrappage scheme, ?2000 to crush your old car
:23:00. > :23:05.or van as long as you buy a new one. It wouldn't be an incentive to me.
:23:06. > :23:08.Good for the people who want to do it and have ?2000 if they have an
:23:09. > :23:13.old car that isn't roadworthy, good for them. But it wouldn't be an
:23:14. > :23:18.incentive for me at all. Good incentive, give you 2000 towards a

:23:24. > :23:31.Cleaner air, it benefits everybody and I get a new car. If you can
:23:32. > :23:34.afford it. Ford claims it is about protecting the environment, not
:23:35. > :23:37.boosting sales. Which have been falling for months. Some people will
:23:38. > :23:42.look at the cynically and say, sales are down, you are only offering this

:24:11. > :24:14.is talking about perhaps save you thousands dirty cars being scrapped
:24:15. > :24:19.and taken off the road, there are 19 million in total so could it really
:24:20. > :24:22.make a difference? The problem with a scrappage scheme that is aimed at

:31:02. > :31:05.the hills here in the Peak District, very slow, we should see low cloud
:31:06. > :31:12.lifting, or sunshine coming up but not guaranteed. You can see them on
:31:13. > :31:15.the map, one or two showers in the West Country, drifting further
:31:16. > :31:19.northwards, the wettest weather heading towards Belfast, arriving in
:31:20. > :31:23.Northern Ireland through the afternoon and into the evening. Not
:31:24. > :31:28.just heavy rain, could be thundery rain as well. A little bit of rain
:31:29. > :31:33.across northern Scotland, petering out, Trower, brighter, warmer. One
:31:34. > :31:37.or two showers arriving in northern England, warmer than it was
:31:38. > :31:43.yesterday, quite humid across England and Wales in particular, and
:31:44. > :31:47.butchers 25 degrees in some places, especially where we get the
