:04:03. > :04:09.facing the potential fry the family break-up or deportation. That is an
:04:10. > :04:14.awful lot of people. It is horrible. They have the support of the local

:05:18. > :05:19.to go on until midnight but it's just the latest step
:05:20. > :05:28.in the Brexit process. It is but it's an important step
:05:29. > :05:32.because the government does not have a majority in the House of Lords. It
:05:33. > :05:36.can't always be certain of getting its way. That doesn't mean peers are
:05:37. > :05:42.going to be able to Brock Brexit or delay it but it does mean when they

:05:48. > :05:52.people I Gerhard Kress and the others who were born elsewhere but
:05:53. > :05:55.now live in Wales, the government could come under pressure. The House
:05:56. > :05:59.of Lords could ask the government to think again on that. The government
:06:00. > :06:05.could be defeated on that although my senses the Lords are not prepared
:06:06. > :06:09.to dig in for a long fight on it and that means Theresa May will be on
:06:10. > :06:14.course to trigger those divorced talks with the EU by the end of
:06:15. > :06:20.March. We have seen some heated debates here over the past days and
:06:21. > :06:23.weeks even in the House of Lords but there will be nothing compare to
:06:24. > :06:24.those tough negotiations when Britain starts talking with the

:07:14. > :07:19.where seven days into his presidency he is invited to have the full
:07:20. > :07:27.panoply of a state visit. There are anti-Trump protests

:07:58. > :08:01.protesters here in Cardiff have been doing the same, waving placards and
:08:02. > :08:15.making clear what they think of Mr Trump. I am joined by two of them.
:08:16. > :08:22.What has brought you out onto the street at night? Today I'm here to
:08:23. > :08:25.make a stance against hate, against bigotry. Donald Trump is a
:08:26. > :08:30.manifestation of all the social ills you can imagine, of racism,
:08:31. > :08:38.anti-Semitism and homophobia and misogyny. We are making a stance
:08:39. > :08:44.that he is not welcome in the UK. We accept the results of the democracy
:08:45. > :08:49.and we respect that he has been elected as president but he must
:08:50. > :08:54.apologise for all his comments against Muslims, against black
:08:55. > :08:58.people, against women, against disabled people and against
:08:59. > :09:06.homosexuals. So you don't think he has a mandate to do what he said he
:09:07. > :09:13.would do because that is what he promises voters he would do. That's
:09:14. > :09:20.the problem. We are here to provide criticism to his approach. The fact
:09:21. > :09:26.is, what is not acceptable. Although he has been elected as president we
:09:27. > :09:34.want a wake-up call and for people to question why they have elected
:09:35. > :09:41.someone like him. You were in America at the time of the election
:09:42. > :09:50.when Hillary Clinton didn't win. If these policies were sensible and he
:09:51. > :09:56.has a minority administration, he has also gone ahead with the media
:09:57. > :10:02.and the press and he should remember the first Amendment. More crucially
:10:03. > :10:07.he has gone against the law. Two significant legal bodies in the US
:10:08. > :10:13.have said the ban on Muslims into their countries were unlawful. We
:10:14. > :10:17.have to stand for each other and say we belong with each other but we
:10:18. > :10:20.also have to stand for the rule of law and that is one of the most
:10:21. > :10:26.troubling aspect of the potential of him coming year. Thank you both very
:10:27. > :10:32.much. They have been chanting here that refugees are welcome here but I

:19:15. > :19:18.of Cardiff City, Neil Warnock said he wanted to bring the excitement
:19:19. > :19:21.back to the club. The veteran boss is certainly giving
:19:22. > :19:23.fans plenty to cheer about with the side enjoying
:19:24. > :19:26.an incredible revival under him. Neil Warnock will meet with the club
:19:27. > :19:28.chairman tonight amid calls for an agreement to be thrashed out
:19:29. > :19:31.to ensure he stays He's turned Cardiff City's fortunes
:19:32. > :19:39.around but will Neil Warnock The manager who wants
:19:40. > :19:44.assurances over his summer transfer budget is dining
:19:45. > :19:48.with the club's chairman tonight. This former captain says the club
:19:49. > :19:53.should ensure he remains manager. You protect your assets
:19:54. > :19:55.and the manager is an asset I would like it to be settled
:19:56. > :20:01.quickly because I would like Neil Warnock to get the targets
:20:02. > :20:05.he has in mind and of course we talking about Neil Warnock
:20:06. > :20:07.and theew will be other people in different boardrooms also
:20:08. > :20:11.talking about Neil Warnock. The win over Rotherham United
:20:12. > :20:13.at the weekend has helped Neil Warnock's side to the top half
:20:14. > :20:16.of the table. Not bad for a side who were second
:20:17. > :20:21.from bottom in October. They scored five goals, the most
:20:22. > :20:26.they have managed in seven years. This spectacular third
:20:27. > :20:29.goal from Craig Noone was followed by efforts
:20:30. > :20:35.from Kenneth support. He made it for and then

:20:39. > :20:40.continuing their If the league had started in January
:20:41. > :20:44.they would be top of the table. Neil Warnock is a vastly
:20:45. > :20:48.experienced manager. He has overseen 1300 games at 12
:20:49. > :20:50.different league clubs in a career stretching over
:20:51. > :21:00.nearly three decades. He has secured promotion seven times
:21:01. > :21:03.before so surely he is the right The question is is whether
:21:04. > :21:15.the club's ambitions follow Neil's I think he has made blatantly clear
:21:16. > :21:26.that he wants to stay. So what guarantees will Warnock
:21:27. > :21:29.want from the club? First and foremost you can't do
:21:30. > :21:31.anything without money. I know it's easy to say and I'm not
:21:32. > :21:34.one of those people who says just get the money out
:21:35. > :21:36.and the cheque-book out, I understand the predicament
