:02:35. > :02:40.had to say. We recognise immigration security is national security. We
:02:41. > :02:45.must protect our citizens from those who seek to spread extremism,
:02:46. > :02:49.terrorism and violence inside our borders. Immigration is a privilege,
:02:50. > :02:58.not a right. The safety of our citizens must always come first.
:02:59. > :03:03.Without question. Over lunch the Chancellor and I will talk about our
:03:04. > :03:09.economic partnership, we must work together towards a fair and
:03:10. > :03:16.reciprocal trade policies. That benefit both of our people's.

:03:36. > :03:42.recognise the right of free people to manage their own destiny. The
:03:43. > :03:49.close friendship between America and Germany is built on our shared
:03:50. > :03:56.values. We cherish individual rights, we uphold the rule of law
:03:57. > :04:02.and we seek peace among nations. Our alliance is a symbol of strength and
:04:03. > :04:10.cooperation to the world. It is the foundation of a very, very hopeful
:04:11. > :04:14.future. Thank you. This is of course quite an
:04:15. > :04:18.adjustment for an good -- Angela Merkel because she had a good
:04:19. > :04:21.working relationship with President Obama and Donald Trump is a very
:04:22. > :04:25.different character and one who has been quite critical of her. He
:04:26. > :04:30.criticised for quite a lot during his campaign and said she bought the
:04:31. > :04:34.Germany to ruin because of her open-door immigration policy which
:04:35. > :04:37.had been a catastrophe. She did research quite what the poor comment
:04:38. > :04:44.and read his speeches and interviews and sweets and try to come up they
:04:45. > :04:50.could work together. -- she did research a lot before coming. As it
:04:51. > :04:53.is important for both countries. She said it is important to talk with
:04:54. > :05:00.each other than about each other. Here is what she had to say. I am
:05:01. > :05:03.here as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and represent
:05:04. > :05:12.German interests and speak with the president of the United States who
:05:13. > :05:16.stands up for, as is right, American interests and it is our respective
:05:17. > :05:19.tasks and I must say I was very gratifying to know the warm and
:05:20. > :05:24.gracious hospitality with which I was received here and we held a
:05:25. > :05:28.conversation where we try to address those areas where we disagree and
:05:29. > :05:32.also bring people together and show what is our vantage point and what
:05:33. > :05:35.is the American vantage point and try to find a compromise that is
:05:36. > :05:41.good for both sides because we need to be fair with each other. Everyone
:05:42. > :05:46.expects from them without something good to come out of it from their
:05:47. > :05:51.people. People have different abilities, different
:05:52. > :05:55.characteristics, different origins, and have found their way into
:05:56. > :06:00.politics along different pathways and while that is diversity, which
:06:01. > :06:03.is good, sometimes it is difficult to find compromise, but that is what
:06:04. > :06:08.we have been elected for. If everything went without problem you
:06:09. > :06:15.do not need politicians to do this job. The body language seemed a bit
:06:16. > :06:18.stiff and wary, perhaps, but towards the end Mr Trump brought in a new
:06:19. > :06:22.element and talk about another way you may have something in common
:06:23. > :06:27.watch is President Obama ordering a wiretap of their phones. There is
:06:28. > :06:31.evidence Mr Obama did that for Angela Merkel but there is no
:06:32. > :06:34.evidence so far he did that for Mr Trump although the president
:06:35. > :06:38.continues to see it happen. It bought out quite a laugh in the room
:06:39. > :06:41.and that perhaps created the environment for talks that might
:06:42. > :06:53.happen with a bit more ease once they got off the podium. That rather
:06:54. > :06:58.delayed press conference, let's see whether they were getting on very
:06:59. > :07:02.well or not very well. She mentioned the body language there.
:07:03. > :07:05.With me is Judi James, an expert in body language.
:07:06. > :07:11.Angela Merkel had that great relationship with President Obama,
:07:12. > :07:17.what do you make of this initial contact these two have had together?
:07:18. > :07:22.It was extraordinary body language. Angela Merkel, spelt most of her
:07:23. > :07:27.political -- spent most of her career path that and hub like a mill
:07:28. > :07:31.politicians so this would be what can a part for her but what was
:07:32. > :07:37.interesting was the greeting rituals. He performed what is called
:07:38. > :07:43.an act of inconvenience and right up to the car. It was very friendly.
:07:44. > :07:47.When we do that that is a very respected guest suite came right up
:07:48. > :07:51.to the car and at a very warm handshake and tilted his head and
:07:52. > :07:57.actually Lord himself which in a animal terms is submissive
:07:58. > :08:02.behaviour. -- Lord himself down. So far so good at that stage. Then we
:08:03. > :08:10.see them inside the oval office and the body language changes. I need to
:08:11. > :08:13.know what happened between the greeting. It almost looked like
:08:14. > :08:18.suddenly, when you go to parents of the School and you have the sulky
:08:19. > :08:23.teenager and will not play ball and she is being very appeasing, she is
:08:24. > :08:30.leaning on her chair, looking at them and trying to get some rapport
:08:31. > :08:35.going but he turned his chair away, he has got the sulky what on jaw and
:08:36. > :08:41.then he is using a downward steeple. -- sulky bottom jaw. He does a
:08:42. > :08:46.metronomic gesture and if you want to say, let's finish this because I
:08:47. > :08:51.am fed up being here will stop then you the moment you try to get him
:08:52. > :08:55.shake hands and he just did not want to know. At a slightly different to
:08:56. > :09:02.what we sought when he met the British Prime Minister Theresa May.
:09:03. > :09:04.That was in January this year but that was completely different
:09:05. > :09:10.because we sought that handholds. A lot was discussed about that. What
:09:11. > :09:17.was your interpretation? They were quite frosty. This stood quite a way
:09:18. > :09:21.away and she was very regal and somebody said, did you know the help
:09:22. > :09:26.hands on the back of the White House. It was a very brief. They
:09:27. > :09:31.were not walking along like lovestruck people, he just put his
:09:32. > :09:36.hand out and touched it slightly. I would say, I have not seen him do it
:09:37. > :09:49.with any of the male world leaders yet. Back to today, they are both
:09:50. > :09:53.podium facing away but they are looking at each other so that seems
:09:54. > :09:57.to be some kind of relationship, they are at least listening to each
:09:58. > :10:01.other. Given that he would look at her like, do you want to answer this
:10:02. > :10:05.one? When you see that you're seeing more of a team forming. His problem
:10:06. > :10:09.is he has this phobia about the press so when he starts to get
:10:10. > :10:13.tricky questions and you can see the anger spilling out into his body
:10:14. > :10:18.language and by then it is almost as if she is not there and he becomes
:10:19. > :10:21.obsessed with his aggression against the press asking difficult
:10:22. > :10:25.questions. Thank you for bringing those nuances
:10:26. > :10:30.that, quite frankly, most of us would have missed.
:10:31. > :10:43.One of the issues discussed was wiretapping.
:10:44. > :10:53.Lots to discuss over this potential wiretapping. President Trump's
:10:54. > :10:56.spokesman says he will not repeat suggestions British security
:10:57. > :11:01.services spied on Donald Trump before he took office. These are
:11:02. > :11:04.linked to Mr Trump's claims and has caused real anger in the UK
:11:05. > :11:06.intelligence services. Britain's GCHQ surveillance agency -
:11:07. > :11:10.secretly listening in, said the White House,
:11:11. > :11:12.on President-Elect Donald Not true, says GCHQ,
:11:13. > :11:18.in a rare public rebuttal. It all began with a tweet,
:11:19. > :11:25.with Donald Trump alleging on social media Barack Obama had ordered
:11:26. > :11:29.the tapping of his phone calls Then came the claim, from Fox News,
:11:30. > :11:37.that GCHQ may have been behind it. Sources have told Fox News
:11:38. > :11:39.that President Obama could very easily have,
:11:40. > :11:42.and probably did, use a foreign intelligence service to gather this
:11:43. > :11:45.information for him. The probable culprit
:11:46. > :11:50.here is called GCHQ. The next thing, that unsubstantiated
:11:51. > :11:52.claim was being quoted That triggered alarm
:11:53. > :11:59.bells in Whitehall. I'm told it was serious enough
:12:00. > :12:02.to be considered a threat It prompted this
:12:03. > :12:07.unprecedented denial by GCHQ. Recent allegations, it said,
:12:08. > :12:11.made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ
:12:12. > :12:15.being asked to conduct wiretapping against the then
:12:16. > :12:20.President-Elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous
:12:21. > :12:23.and should be ignored. This is just not
:12:24. > :12:26.something GCHQ does. The legislation under which it
:12:27. > :12:30.operates doesn't allow it to happen. The governance and the oversight
:12:31. > :12:33.of the organisation just does not I think, in this case,
:12:34. > :12:37.it is absolutely clear this If Donald Trump was embarrassed,
:12:38. > :12:45.he wasn't showing it today - seen here meeting the German
:12:46. > :12:48.Chancellor, Angela Merkel. His administration has promised not
:12:49. > :12:50.to repeat these allegations, So, what is the damage
:12:51. > :12:58.to relations with Washington? MI6, MI5 and GCHQ, Britain's three
:12:59. > :13:01.spy agencies, all have incredibly close working relationships
:13:02. > :13:05.with their US counterparts. Whitehall officials insisted
:13:06. > :13:06.today that partnership remains as strong as ever,
:13:07. > :13:08.despite the controversy Still, it is a bad day

:13:45. > :13:56.with a particular message That is the ironclad alliance,
:13:57. > :14:02.as he calls it, between the US and South Korea will remain,
:14:03. > :14:07.whoever wins power in elections here We wait to see what exactly
:14:08. > :14:15.the new policy will be. The policy of strategic

:14:25. > :14:32.understand the only path to a secure, economic and prosperous
:14:33. > :14:36.future is to abandon its development of nuclear weapons, ballistic
:14:37. > :14:38.missiles and other We call on other regional
:14:39. > :14:48.powers and all nations to join us in demanding the North
:14:49. > :14:51.Korean Government choose a better path and a different
:14:52. > :14:52.future for its people. Beyond the actual words, the tone
:14:53. > :14:56.of the press conference was the moment North Korea has the ability
:14:57. > :15:00.to hit the continental United States with nuclear weapons
:15:01. > :15:03.is a moment of real crisis. And military options really
:15:04. > :15:14.will be on the table then. Now a look at some of
:15:15. > :15:19.the days other news. The deaths of dozens of Somali
:15:20. > :15:22.refugees, whose boat was attacked off Yemen's Red Sea coast,

:15:37. > :15:41.all the planes returned safely and one of the anti-aircraft
