:00:00. > :00:16.A second undisclosed meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin

:00:17. > :00:19.The two leaders reportedly had an hour-long conversation

:00:20. > :00:22.at the G20 with only a Russian interpreter present.

:00:23. > :00:25.But the White House says the reaction is overblown.

:00:26. > :00:33.many are crossing into Brazil and unrest on the rise,

:00:34. > :00:40.which is now struggling to cope with the arrivals.

:00:41. > :00:46.Families are slipping on a floor of the gymnasium. More than 300. But

:00:47. > :00:47.with more arrivals every week some families are having to sleep

:00:48. > :00:49.outside. A zoo in the UK is joining the fight

:00:50. > :00:53.to save the northern white rhino. We'll show you what is being done

:00:54. > :01:05.before it's too late. Hello and welcome

:01:06. > :01:08.to World News Today. On the current political stage

:01:09. > :01:13.there is perhaps no relationship and Vladimir Putin -

:01:14. > :01:18.between Donald Trump which explains why their first face

:01:19. > :01:21.to face meeting at the G20 earlier they held another undisclosed

:01:22. > :01:27.meeting later that day. It happened just hours

:01:28. > :01:29.after their first encounter at When reports came out about it last

:01:30. > :01:37.night however the president Fake News story of secret dinner

:01:38. > :01:44.with Putin is "sick." All G20 leaders, and

:01:45. > :01:45.spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany.

:01:46. > :01:52.Press knew! Well, yes, the fact the dinner

:01:53. > :01:55.happened was public but it's what transpired there

:01:56. > :01:56.which Ian Bremmer from the Eurasia Society described

:01:57. > :02:06.to the BBC earlier today. There was a three and a half hour

:02:07. > :02:10.long meeting, or dinner, not all of the seats were filled, and about

:02:11. > :02:17.halfway in, apparently, Donald Trump stands up, goes around a table, sits

:02:18. > :02:20.down next to Vladimir Putin with the Kremlin translator, nobody else

:02:21. > :02:24.there, everyone is watching and proceeds to have an incredibly

:02:25. > :02:31.convivial and engaged conversation for about one hour. It was remarked

:02:32. > :02:36.upon and thought quite unusual by several of the participants at this

:02:37. > :02:41.meeting, especially because he clearly wasn't doing that with

:02:42. > :02:43.anybody else at this dinner at any other point during the course of the

:02:44. > :02:52.jee 20. -- G20. And joining me now from Washington

:02:53. > :02:55.is veteran diplomat Thomas Pickering who formerly served as US Ambassador

:02:56. > :03:02.to Russia. The White House says the meeting was

:03:03. > :03:06.perfectly normal. In your years of experience, would you agree with

:03:07. > :03:13.that? I would think it is more normal than the press in the yes is

:03:14. > :03:16.allowing Mr Trump to convince us, but unusual in the sense that he

:03:17. > :03:23.used only do translation services of the Russian side and did,

:03:24. > :03:31.apparently, from that rather vivid and useful description, not spent

:03:32. > :03:39.time with others. I thought he was sitting next to perhaps the Japanese

:03:40. > :03:43.Prime Minister Abe, where he had a Japanese interpreter ready to serve

:03:44. > :03:48.him, but moving around is a very big New York habit even if it isn't,

:03:49. > :03:55.much, in diplomacy, and opportunities that heads of state

:03:56. > :04:00.have, often, to do what we would call stop bys is not so unusual that

:04:01. > :04:06.it doesn't happen at all. I would expect that, in some ways, this is a

:04:07. > :04:09.little bit overblown on back side, and on the blown on the side that

:04:10. > :04:16.the president didn't seem to have any help, there and one wonders

:04:17. > :04:20.whether the Russian interpreter will be a reliable reporter of all of

:04:21. > :04:24.this. That is the point that some are picking up on, there were no

:04:25. > :04:27.other US officials present at that meeting. Is it normal for other

:04:28. > :04:33.years of visuals to be at these meetings, whether it is a Secretary

:04:34. > :04:36.of State, or someone else? It is, but it is not absolutely required,

:04:37. > :04:39.and I can think of many occasions when at meetings at the White House

:04:40. > :04:44.the president but have a group meeting then a one-on-one, or a

:04:45. > :04:45.one-on-one first then a group meeting, often with an interpreter

:04:46. > :05:02.present but no one else, provides the US notes which is

:05:03. > :05:04.why the absence of an interpreter at this meeting does raise some

:05:05. > :05:07.questions about, was this a good way to do business, and with anybody

:05:08. > :05:10.else know exactly what was said on the US side, and when we get into

:05:11. > :05:12.that kind of chat that Sergei Lavrov and Rex Tillerson had, what they

:05:13. > :05:15.agreed to I didn't agree to on the question of pushing back on election

:05:16. > :05:20.intervention, all of which doesn't help in a relationship that is

:05:21. > :05:24.extremely important now and one that should be carefully worked at, to

:05:25. > :05:29.get it right. The US- Russian relationship has dangers in it and

:05:30. > :05:36.what we would call sort of amateurism and mistakes can

:05:37. > :05:41.certainly lead to more than just press anger, it can lead to things

:05:42. > :05:44.that are more seriously confrontation between these two

:05:45. > :05:49.countries. This is a relationship which needs to be carefully worked

:05:50. > :05:57.at matter what advice would you have to the White House about how they

:05:58. > :06:02.are approaching this? I would say that talking to Mr Bruton was a good

:06:03. > :06:09.idea at the jee 20 conference, they spent more time than was expected to

:06:10. > :06:13.be spent -- the G20. My advice is, for goodness' sake, let's have a

:06:14. > :06:19.period of time when these two meet and discuss the major elements of

:06:20. > :06:23.this relationship across the board. Secondly, the idea that doing no

:06:24. > :06:27.harm should be the first principle of repairing a relationship is very

:06:28. > :06:34.important. And thirdly, neither side should be saying things that worsen

:06:35. > :06:37.the relationship. Those should be kept for confidential

:06:38. > :06:39.communications. And fourthly, the relationship between these

:06:40. > :06:45.presidents needs to be bolstered by more frequent contacts between the

:06:46. > :06:49.Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Foreign Minister surrogate Alaba, do

:06:50. > :06:53.flesh out and strengthen whatever it is that they are working on that can

:06:54. > :06:59.make a contribution to, in fact, turning what has been described as

:07:00. > :07:02.the worst state of US - Russian relations into something that is

:07:03. > :07:05.hopefully a little better, as time goes on. Thank you for joining us on

:07:06. > :07:08.the programme. Now to the biggest domestic

:07:09. > :07:11.challenge in the US This week has been a rocky one

:07:12. > :07:15.for the Republican Party which had vowed to repeal and replace

:07:16. > :07:18.Obamacare. Right now the Senate doesn't look

:07:19. > :07:21.like it has the votes to do either. But that didn't stop

:07:22. > :07:23.the president from inviting all 52 Republican Senators

:07:24. > :07:26.to the White House for lunch. He told them they shouldn't leave

:07:27. > :07:28.town until action is taken and this

:07:29. > :07:44.is what he said should happen. We have no choice. We have to repeal

:07:45. > :07:49.and replace Obamacare. We can repeal it, but the best is repeal and

:07:50. > :07:51.replace, and let's get going. I intend to keep my promise and I know

:07:52. > :07:52.that you will, too. Joining me now is our North America

:07:53. > :08:02.reporter Anthony Zurcher. It is hard to keep track of what the

:08:03. > :08:06.president wants. One minute it is repeal, the next minute, repeal and

:08:07. > :08:12.the place. Where do you think things stand at the moment? We have come

:08:13. > :08:16.full circle in 48 hours. It began as repeal and replace. That is what

:08:17. > :08:22.Donald Trump has been urging for the past few months. When the replace

:08:23. > :08:27.Bill Villa Park it became repeal only. Then it became do nothing.

:08:28. > :08:30.Yesterday he was saying he would let Obamacare collapse on its own and

:08:31. > :08:33.the Democrats would come crawling to him to try to negotiate some sort of

:08:34. > :08:39.replacement plan. Now we are back to repeal and replace. But the key

:08:40. > :08:43.thing to watch is what the Republican senators are going to do.

:08:44. > :08:47.After Donald Trump gators lunchtime address, the planets have a straight

:08:48. > :08:53.up repeal bill next week at some point. That probably is going to

:08:54. > :08:55.fail, but the idea is to get this on the floor somehow, get people

:08:56. > :08:59.offering amendments and try to come up with some sort of plan on the

:09:00. > :09:02.floor of the Senate. That is a strange strategy. Like trying to

:09:03. > :09:06.build the parachute after you have already jumped off the bridge. I

:09:07. > :09:16.don't know if it is going to succeed. It might not even get to

:09:17. > :09:19.that point. The president needs to get his own senators on board. That

:09:20. > :09:21.was the purpose of this much. How successful do you think he's going

:09:22. > :09:25.to be, and broader Republican senators rally around him? Is that

:09:26. > :09:29.even a possibility? It is showing that is a challenge for him, to

:09:30. > :09:34.wrangle any sort of working majority in the Senate not just for health

:09:35. > :09:38.care but for anything significant he wants to do. If this all falls apart

:09:39. > :09:42.after the bill next week, they might rebut something that Republicans are

:09:43. > :09:46.more in line with, that they can agree on, like tax cuts, but to do

:09:47. > :09:51.that he would have to pass the budget first or 2018. That is

:09:52. > :09:55.difficult to do. Each major piece of legislation will require lots of

:09:56. > :09:59.work on the part of the president to try to build an operating coalition

:10:00. > :10:02.within his own party and, six months into his presidency, we have not

:10:03. > :10:06.seen any evidence yet that he is able to do that.

:10:07. > :10:11.from the authorities in Minneapolis is demanding answers

:10:12. > :10:16.after a police officer fatally shot a woman from Sydney on Saturday.

:10:17. > :10:17.Malcolm Turnbull has called the incident

:10:18. > :10:23.Justine Damond died from a single gunshot wound fired through

:10:24. > :10:31.At dawn in Sydney, hundreds gathered at the silent vigil.

:10:32. > :10:33.Mourners threw pink flowers into the ocean.

:10:34. > :10:40.It was Justine Damond's favourite colour.

:10:41. > :10:42.Across the globe in Minneapolis, friends

:10:43. > :10:44.and neighbours left flowers and tributes with a simple question

:10:45. > :10:47.- why did police shoot the 40-year-old yoga teacher?

:10:48. > :10:49.Australia's Prime Minister is one of those demanding answers

:10:50. > :10:55.to what he described as an inexplicable killing.

:10:56. > :10:58.How can a woman out on the street in her pyjamas seeking assistance

:10:59. > :11:08.Ms Damond had called police to report what she thought may have

:11:09. > :11:12.been a sexual assault in the alley behind her house.

:11:13. > :11:15.When she approached the police car, one of the officers, Mohamed Noor,

:11:16. > :11:21.who was sitting in the passenger seat, shot and killed her.

:11:22. > :11:24.It was possible he was startled by a loud noise, but as yet,

:11:25. > :11:26.he has declined to be interviewed by investigators.

:11:27. > :11:29.We do have more information now, though it is frustrating to have

:11:30. > :11:33.some of the picture but not all of it.

:11:34. > :11:37.We cannot compel Officer Noor to make a statement.

:11:38. > :11:43.Minnesota's bureau of criminal apprehension has taken charge

:11:44. > :11:45.of the investigation to work out what happened.

:11:46. > :11:50.It has already confirmed Ms Damond was unarmed.

:11:51. > :11:53.Why did Officer Noor draw and fire his gun?

:11:54. > :11:56.What happened from the time the officers arrived on the scene

:11:57. > :12:00.Why don't we have footage from body cameras?

:12:01. > :12:08.We all want answers to those questions.

:12:09. > :12:10.The Australian had relocated to the US to marry her

:12:11. > :12:16.The wedding would have been next month.

:12:17. > :12:20.Now, her friends and family are left to wonder how it came to this,

:12:21. > :12:22.how a woman described as kind-hearted and loving

:12:23. > :12:30.was killed by someone meant to protect her.

:12:31. > :12:35.French President Emmanuel Macron has been dealt a blow after the

:12:36. > :12:37.head of the country's armed forces tendered his resignation.

:12:38. > :12:40.It follows a very public row over cuts to France's defence budget.

:12:41. > :12:43.General Pierre de Villiers said he was no longer able to guarantee

:12:44. > :12:44.enough troops to ensure France's security.

:12:45. > :12:48.Let's speak to Nicholas Vinocur, politics reporter,

:12:49. > :13:01.Thank you for joining us. Firstly, why has he quit? He has quit because

:13:02. > :13:09.he wanted to make a protest against the president over this budget cut

:13:10. > :13:12.which we should say is a budget cut for 2017, the overall trajectory of

:13:13. > :13:19.military and defence spending is rising until 2025. This was a

:13:20. > :13:24.political challenge to the new president. And that is the way it is

:13:25. > :13:27.being taken today. A political challenge, you say. How politically

:13:28. > :13:34.damaging is this for Emmanuelle Macron? Certainly, on the day it

:13:35. > :13:41.doesn't look good. Although the opposition forces from the far right

:13:42. > :13:50.National Front to the far left, piled onto the president and accused

:13:51. > :13:52.him of forcing out what they call a military man with great integrity

:13:53. > :13:59.and a good reputation. So this is not a good day for president Macron,

:14:00. > :14:04.and when you take other sectors, professional sectors that are also

:14:05. > :14:07.starting to protest against budget cuts, it does put him in some

:14:08. > :14:14.difficulty. We should put this in some perspective. This is the first

:14:15. > :14:17.test of the President's authority, after a first three months in power

:14:18. > :14:23.which have been almost surreally positive for him. This is domestic

:14:24. > :14:27.issues coming back to bite. He's making a major cut to the French

:14:28. > :14:31.budget. It is not so surprising that there is going to be some turbulence

:14:32. > :14:35.in these first months, and there will be more. What does this say

:14:36. > :14:39.about his chances of pushing other parts of his policy agenda through?

:14:40. > :14:46.He says he's only new individual, three months in. We should keep an

:14:47. > :14:51.eye on the fundamentals here. Emmanuelle Macron was elected with a

:14:52. > :14:54.wide mandate to reform. He was explicit about not just that budget

:14:55. > :15:00.cuts but his plans to reform the Labour system, to reform the pension

:15:01. > :15:04.system, the unemployment benefit system. None of this was concealed

:15:05. > :15:09.or minimised during his campaign. So, voters know exactly what they

:15:10. > :15:14.will get. Secondly, he has a broad majority in Parliament. He doesn't

:15:15. > :15:17.need to enlist any support from other political groups to push

:15:18. > :15:22.through these reforms. And on the very difficult ones he is using

:15:23. > :15:25.executive decree, to push them through Parliament. What we are

:15:26. > :15:31.getting is commentary which could be damaging and could affect his

:15:32. > :15:35.popularity. It is having an affect on his popularity, which was very

:15:36. > :15:40.high, to some degree, but on the whole, the president will whether

:15:41. > :15:46.this. It is General Pierre de Villiers left. He was replaced

:15:47. > :15:52.within the day, within a few hours of his resignation. I would suggest

:15:53. > :15:58.that this episode is going to pass. It was a test for the president.

:15:59. > :16:02.But, by no means, as it knocked him out or really undermined his

:16:03. > :16:09.determination to push through the reforms. Thank you very much but

:16:10. > :16:13.joining us. -- for joining us. For the first time the BBC has

:23:22. > :23:26.what his Twitter presence tells us. Twitter is a wonderful thing for me

:23:27. > :23:29.because I get the word out. He's been dubbed

:23:30. > :23:30.the Twitter President. We know Donald Trump loves to spell

:23:31. > :23:35.things out in 140 characters, but what do his online musings tell

:23:36. > :23:38.us about the first Well, he's sent more than 940 tweets

:23:39. > :23:42.since he first took office. he usually sends those

:23:43. > :23:49.messages between 6-8am. He's sent an average of nearly

:23:50. > :23:52.six tweets every day. To put it into context,

:23:53. > :23:55.that's 85 times the number of news But to Donald Trump,

:23:56. > :24:01.that is modern-day presidential. So what does President Trump

:24:02. > :24:06.tweet about the most? The highest number of tweets

:24:07. > :24:08.are about the economy. But President Trump's attacks

:24:09. > :24:13.on the media are not far behind. This video is his most

:24:14. > :24:17.shared tweet so far. President Trump has sent more

:24:18. > :24:23.than 70 tweets about Fox News, usually to publicise his upcoming

:24:24. > :24:25.appearances or to praise It is a modern-day

:24:26. > :24:31.form of communication. Especially when you have tens

:24:40. > :24:45.His comments and his tweets speak for themselves.

:24:46. > :24:48.For example, after saying he had a great meeting with Angela Merkel,

:24:49. > :24:52.he took to Twitter to criticise Germany's Nato contributions.

:24:53. > :24:55.And take a look at his messaging on China.

:24:56. > :24:59.of working with the country, to give up on the idea

:25:03. > :25:09.with the Russians, setting up a cyber security unit

:25:10. > :25:12.but it didn't take long for him to retract that idea.

:25:13. > :25:14.Should I keep the Twitter going or not?

:25:15. > :25:17.Many of his supporters think he should, for sure.

:25:18. > :25:21.When he tweets, we get it direct from him, we know what it is.

:25:22. > :25:31.There are of course many people who wish he'd just put the phone

:25:32. > :25:33.down and stop tweeting, including some in his own party.

:25:34. > :25:36.But he's got more than 33 million followers on the social network

:25:37. > :25:46.and he doesn't look like he's going to stop any time soon.
