Festival are not happy. It is seen as a vital marker for all

US presidents. 100 days in office. And as Donald Trump

reaches that milestone - tens of thousands of protesters

are rallying in Washington and other US cities to express concern

over climate change. -- Mr Trump has previously

called it a hoax. This is Washington where crowds have

been making their way to the White House to express

their concern about climate change and the adminstration's plans

to roll back measures to curb global If we don't take care of Earth, we

don't have anything. We want our next generation to have this planet

that has not been reported by corporations. In defence of our

environment, for the climate, because we need to do it and we

believe that. The president will not be marking

his hundred days in Washington. He has been downplaying the importance

of the marker. This is how Donald Trump assessed how he has been

doing. Actually believe the first 100 days of my administration has

been just about the most successful in our country's history. The most

fundamental change can be found on the relationship between the people

and their government. For too long, politicians cared more about special

interest than they did very successful future for all Americans.

The Doucoure taxpayers money and sent their jobs and wealth to other

countries. Not any more. So what are Americans making of President Donald

Trump? Was called to the state capital of Pennsylvania, where he is

spending part of the day at a campaign still rally, taking place

in a few hours' time. Our correspondent is there. Protest

outside the White House, but you are there with supporters. What are

people across America meeting of Donald Trump's first 100 days?

Welcome to the swing state of Pennsylvania. This state was crucial

for Donald Trump to try to win the White House and she turned

Republican. If you asked me what people think, these are trump

supporters. They've been here since the early morning train to get to

the front of this rally. What do you think of his hundred days?

Fantastic. What are his main accomplishments? Just getting things

started. Getting people talking. Thinking about what her future is

going to be and he is there, he has got it, he is doing it. You've been

waiting for him for a little while. What they want is your president?

Just what happens then. He will tell us the same thing he has been

telling others but it is working. He has people talking across the

country. Some people can't handle it, but that is on them. The rest of

the country, they are for it. Thank you very much. Just to give

you an idea of how big the queue is, it stretches around the building.

Donald Trump has signed a 29 executive orders but he is yet to

have a major legislative one. He has managed to get a Supreme Court peck

through, which was an extremely difficult thing to do. People here,

obviously, think he is winning. I can speak to this woman who I spoke

to an earlier. You have been in this queue, when it comes to Donald

Trump, she doesn't have many legislative ones, so when it comes

to it, do you think he's doing OK as a president? I think he's doing

better than OK. There are a number of people out there who feel that he

hasn't had the legislative wing -- ones, that he has perhaps not got

Obama care repealed or replaced, that his travel ban is stuck. What

do you think? I think he has a choke hold on him. It's hardly the success

of something in business when you have summoned people at you. It is

hard to get things done. He has a lot of good people watch them and he

is trying to implement what he promised. But it's quite hard to do

when you have people per win knew in opposite directions. Even our own

party has a tendency to do a little pilling but once we get past that, I

think we will be great. There are rallies taking place outside the

White House so as well as his supporters, he has his critics. One

thing everyone agrees on, Donald Trump campaigned as being an

unconventional president and campaigner, and that, I think, in

the first 100 days is what many the first 100 days is what many

people will say she has proved to be.

What's more about the first hundred days on a website, including the

squares we can test your knowledge. The President of the European

Commission has warned that many people in Britain

are underestimating Jean-Claude Yuncker

was speaking after EU leaders, meeting in Brussels,

unanimously agreed their negotiating position on Britain's

departure from the union. From Brussels Damian

Grammaticas reports. At the heart of the EU today,

European leaders, 27 of them, now We all want a close and strong

future relationship with There is absolutely

no question about it. But before discussing

the future, we had to Michel Barnier, is the man

entrusted with the Everything ready

for the negotiation? EU leaders are worried

about what Angela Merkel His concerns are shared

by EU leaders too. What EU leaders are most worried

about is what Angela Merkel has called "illusions" on the British

side about what can be achieved This process today is

about injecting a bit It took the 27 just minutes to sign

off on their negotiating guidelines. They are clear Brexit

talks will be in phases. Stage one, the UK must

satisfy their demands on exit terms. What illusions do you think

some of the UK harbour? TRANSLATION: Sometimes,

I have the impression that some in Britain,

I don't mean the government, do not understand the process we have set,

a phased negotiation. This gives me the opportunity to say

again, there is no conspiracy, Theresa May's desire to talk

about a future trade deal early First, the EU want to agree

a guarantee of citizen's rights. Meaning the rights to live,

work and study now enjoyed by 4 million people,

EU citizens in the UK, Meaning the UK must agree to pay

all its portion of EU And solutions to avoid new border

controls between north And the EU side believe even

agreeing the first item on their list, citizens' rights,

won't be straightforward. Jean-Claude Juncker says the EU

is ready to give guarantees We have already prepared a text

which could be adopted immediately if our British friends were ready

to sign it like that. Money could be another before any

talk about trade deals will start. Tens of thousands of protesters

in US cities over climate change. And we'll be speaking to Damian live

a little later in the programme. Donald Trump has accused North Korea

of 'disrespecting' China, after it test-fired

a second ballistic missile. The test was launched hours

after the American Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called

for a tougher international approach at the United

Nations Security Council. Meanwhile, an American

aircraft carrier - the USS Carl Vinson -

has reportedly arrived in the region after it was sent

to the Korean peninsula as part After Saturday's failed launch,

the Japanese government condemned the test and said it had lodged

a strong protest with North Korea It is a story that has world leaders

across the world worried, we have with us who someone

who used to be one. Kevin Rudd is the former

Prime Minister of Australia and now is the president of the Asia Society

policy institute in What do you think

about Trump's policy? I think the President's strategy has

one objective at the stage and that is to apply maximum pressure on

China. Because of North Korea's international, financial and energy

dependency on the People's Republic of China, what President Trump is

seeking to do, based on those discussions, is to keep that

pressure on, in the hope that Beijing can actually bring about,

through political pressure, the change in Norse kiddie behaviour. --

North Korean behaviour. Will this work? This has not been tried with

this focus before. China has been reluctant to deploy this level of

diplomatic lavage in the past, not just because of historical

relationship reasons with Norse code here, going back to the Korean War

half a century ago, but because China is often plain about the fact

that it does not want to see a conflagration on the peninsula, it

does not want to see the collapse of the regime and it does not want to

see any American troops landing on what was then be a vacated territory

in the north. This is a complicated and multilayered situation. What

centres there at that China is going to play ball? We don't know. There

are divided opinions in Beijing on this question and frankly for any

government this would be a hard call. On the one hand, they don't

want nuclear power operation on the Korean peninsula and they don't want

Cisco gear or Japan declaring -- developing their own deterrent. On

the other hand, they have deep caution about the great unknowns

which all from putting pressure on Zhong Yang. You see the regime of

Kim Jong in the fall or do you see him fall and replaced with someone

they are even less familiar with? This is the debate at present and

that is why politics within China and diplomacy is important for the

United States. As a former Prime Minister, someone who has been in on

the strategies of getting North Korea to the table, what do you

think you should be done to bring in North Korea to be more compromising

in this situation? I think there are two things. We have just discussed

one of them, which is seeking to work with our Chinese friends to

substantially up the level of each which is currently being deployed

against North Korea by Beijing. The second thing is this. The next big

hurdle and this tense situation on the Korean peninsula will come with

the President -- the next election or of the president of South Korea.

That is just a week away. Historically, the North behaved

badly on such occasions. They did so several years ago and did it five

years before that. So, if the diplomatic message can be kept --

got through, to say that it is time not to do what you normally do when

there is collection, which could fire for another battery of

missiles, instead, how about a separate meeting with the incoming

president in some third-party location? Thank you very much for

being with us. Nothing, it seems was able to

withstand the tornado. Internationally, there have already

been protests. Sweden says it received no warning of the accident

and the Russians denied anything had gone wrong. Only when radioactivity

levels began to increase outside Russia will be forced to admit the

accident. The mood here is of great

celebration. At the end of a 12 year war for them. They've taken the

capital for which they have been fighting so long.

It was 7am, the day when power began to pass from the minority to the

majority, when Africa reclaim its last great colony.

Protests over climate change. European leaders have taken just

four minutes to unanimously approve a negotiation strategy for Britain's

withdrawal from DEQ. More and that story, our European correspondent is

in Brussels. What message did Europeans -- European leaders sent

today? One clear message they wanted to

send is that they are united. It took them four minutes to agree

this. That is something they wanted to flag up. They walked in for their

meeting, instantly signed off on this negotiating position. There was

now debate, no discussion, no disagreement. They had prepared it

and they want the UK to know that the 27 other EU countries, the

remaining countries, are all united around this one set of guidelines,

this one position. The second thing they want the UK to lawyers that

they have various requirements that will have to be met as they go

through the negotiation. Those are the red lines and that is what they

expect. One of those red lines will be go

for spell. How much acrimony could this week to between EU leaders and

the United Kingdom? It could lead to an oral -- an

enormous amount. There are fears it could lead to a breakdown of the

entire talks and the whole separation process. One thing they

are very sensitive about already here is the way this is presented in

the UK. You mentioned it as a divorce bill, due say it is not bad.

This is the financial obligations of the EU and the UK that they have

entered into as a member of the EU. Projects that signed off on an a

multi-year budget that stretches up to 2020, which has already agreed

and approved. There are farmers, scientists, programmes leading the

UK that are expecting those payments and the save the UK has the shall I

will honour that obligation before they can move on to discussions

about something like a trade deal. That is something that they want to

focus on. What about the other priorities for the EU leaders in

Brussels? The first priority for them, before

money, what matters to them even more people. There the point of the

lives of 4.5 million people who have moved there in the EU, taking

advantage of the rates they have as members of the EU, that is European

citizens to the UK, UK citizens elsewhere in the EU, with jobs,

studies, homes, families, access to pensions and social security rates,

all that. What will happen to them when the UK reads? The EU said what

this set of very quickly and all those rates to be guaranteed for a

lifetime, into the future. That is the first priority and the something

be absolutely want to nail down. Turkey has blocked access

to one of the world's most visited websites -

Wikipedia. Anyone trying to access

Wikipedia from inside Turkey The government said Wikipedia

was attempting to run a "smear campaign" against Turkey with some

of the pages on the website suggesting Ankara was co-operating

with militant groups. President Erdogan's government also

dismissed 4,000 public officials today in the latest in a string

of purges following last year's I've been speaking to Alp Toker,

from the group Turkey Blocks, which monitors internet

shutdowns in Turkey. It's a widespread clock which is

affecting the whole country. This looks like it will be in for the

long haul. Why do you think Wikipedia has been blocked now? It

is unprecedented that such a large, International site like this has

been blocked. We are used to social media blocking, but this is slightly

different and this is different because Wikipedia as a platform for

others as well. People use it to present a Turkish point of view. The

figures walked in Turkey, that means that Turkey -- Turkish people cannot

edit it. It's almost heading over editorial policy to other countries.

It's a policy that could backfire. We have heard government officials

have been dismissed and popular dating shows have been banned. What

justification is the government using? That is part of the fact, a

response against the coup. A lot of people support this. They see a huge

fit in the country and the Internet censorship is part of that crackdown

and seen as a necessary measure. It seems like a lot of innocent people

are being caught up. It has affected the online culture a lot. We have

been tracking this. And Jimmy Wales the founder

of Wikipedia has tweeted Access to information

is a fundamental human right. Turkish people, I will always stand

with you to fight for this right. And now an update on a story we've

reported on a few days about two trekkers from Taiwan who were found

in the Himalayas about seven weeks A high-altitude search and rescue

team found them in a canyon After being rescued a few days

ago, doctors are now Here's the latest from

the BBC's Rahul Joglekar. I am sorry that everybody had to be

concerned about me. In the future, I will be more careful. I am looking

forward to going back to Taiwan. He survived the initially on potatoes

and noodles. Then, the ace for days. She has been taking good food. She

is happy. A lot of discussions with the nurses and doctors and from

today, he also started walking. They had come to Nepal to conquer the

treacherous peaks of the Himalayas. Now only one of them will return to

Taiwan after a throw -- miraculous rescue.

It was advertised as the ultimate in luxury -

but a new festival in the Bahamas imploded on the day

Festival-goers were promised a 'once in a lifetime experience' of art,

food and music, but instead found tents for accommodation,

sandwiches for food, and the headline act cancelled>.

Tickets cost up to $12,000. It was heavily promoted on social media but

ended up creating a vital part of a different kind. The headline act

ruled out. Festivalgoers arrived on Friday to find utilitarian white

tents, accommodation that some described as like a refugee camp. On

the menu, cheese sandwiches instead of gourmet cuisine. Organisers

postponed the event and cancelled an altogether sting that their team was

overwhelmed. That led to the chaotic scenes at the airport as people try

to get off the island. Many turn to social media to vent their

frustrations. The described the event as a complete disaster. The

festival organiser took to Twitter to apologise. He said he was

heartbroken and the event was not a scam. Organisers have promised a

full refund to festivalgoers and of looking ahead to next year,

promising to be able wet -- a bit less ambitious. Recovering from seen

that this will take one ambitious PR strategy.
