the on the weather website, i'll be back in have an hour. we will do more with less and make the government lean and accountable. a hike in military spending, $54 billion. the father of a navy seals who died in the us mission in yemen was ordered by donald trump has refused to meet the president and wa nts refused to meet the president and wants an investigation. i cannot believe you have not seen this. there is a mistake! moonlight, you won best picture. moonlight. best picture. the mistake is part of the oscars story and so is the victory ofa oscars story and so is the victory of a film about a young gay

african—american. more later. millions of people are without clean water in chile because of mudslides. if you want to get in touch in the programme, get in touch. you can not oi’ programme, get in touch. you can not or e—mail us. —— you can also e—mail. ibegin i begin the programme with important stories from the us, donald trump is proposing a $54 billion increase in military spending. to give the context, this chart shows the 2015 government spending in green is the military budget accounting for 16% of the whole budget. the plan this year is a 10% hike on that. this is

what he said. the defence spending increase will be offset and paid for by finding greater savings and efficiencies across the federal government. we will do more with less. we will do more with less and make the government lean and accountable to the people, we can do more with the money we spend. if he creates a lean machine, is there enough slack to get $54 billion? it is tough requiring significant cuts. social security, medicare and those are items that donald trump said he would not touch in the campaign. then you look at a much smaller segment, the size of military spending, everything else in the budget, environmental protection agency, the entire budget for that

agency is only $8 billion, not as much to cover the proposed increase in military spending. the state department, their budget is $50 billion, equivalent to the spending increase. he will have to cut across the board in discretionary spending making double—digit cuts, they will have an impact. assuming he finds this money, how will you justify spending it given the us military is all ready huge question mark he said over the course of the campaign that he was spending money in order to rebuild the military, the military was run down, he said the us have stopped winning wars and he was promising that the us will win wars. he sees a crisis in the military can he sees the us military in its own terms being run down, he is not comparing it to china which is a fraction of the us military budget and russia is the tenth of the

budget. he views it as being an important place to spend money, the top priority. we have not heard details on anything else but this. that is the first, secondly, the former us president george w bush has been discussing the attacks on the press. here is president bush. i consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. we need an independent media to hold people like me to account. power can be addictive and it can be corrosive and it is important for the media to call to account people who abuse the power. whether it is here or elsewhere. one thing i spend time doing was trying to convince vladimir putin to accept the notion ofan vladimir putin to accept the notion of an independent press. it is hard

to tell others to have an independent free press when we're not willing to have one ourselves. the thing that surprised me is george bush has shown no real interest in commentating on politics since he left the white house. no, he was quiet during the entirety of the obama administration. now he is touring for an the obama administration. now he is touring foran art the obama administration. now he is touring for an art book getting out in front of the media and he'll be asked questions but it did not shirk it. he was very vocal about his views. they were slightly veiled but as president he is diminishing the us ability to represent itself as an ideal throughout the world. quickly, iam reading ideal throughout the world. quickly, i am reading a tweet from hillary clinton talking about hate crimes, not a first intervention. what is her gain? it is interesting, hillary

clinton is slowly getting more involved in responding, donald trump is tweeting more sharp pointed comments directed at the president andi comments directed at the president and i think she wants to be a part of the national political dialogue. she does not quite know how she fits in. it is playing out in these tweets, she will not... she may take on an elder statesman role. well, that tweet is this one from hillary clinton saying with threats and hate crimes on the rise, we should not have to tell the president to do his pa rt have to tell the president to do his part comedy must step up and speak out. she linked to an article about the killing of an indian immigrant in kansas last week. the man accused of killing him reportedly shouted get out of my country is that he's appearing in court in kansas today. police are investigating whether the shooting was a hate crime. the bbc

has travelled to kansas to meet family and friends of the victim. the message at this vigil, stand by everyone. people from all faiths and communities came here to mourn a man who lived and worked in the city. 32—year—old srinivas kuchibhotla was an engineer who moved to kansas from india. after work last week he went for a drink with his best friend when a man approached their table. he randomly comes up and start pointing fingers. we knew something was wrong. what did he say? he came towards me and said, which country are you from? are you here illegally? the man was escorted out of the bar as eyewitnesses heard him shout, get out of my country, but he later returned. you are drinking beer, you're with your friend, next he is back with a gun. and i heard a pop.

next thing i know, i was on the ground. two down, gunshot wound to the chest. we have a third with a hip wound. srinivas was killed in the attack which left a local injured. i was more than happy to risk my attacks to help others. this man chased the gunmen, was also shot and is recovering in hospital. 51—year—old adam purinton has been charged with murder and attempted murder and the fbi is investigating whether this was a hate crime. srinivas and his wife had built a life together in america but in recent months he had become concerned about living here. when the recent elections happened, he was watching it so closely. i was talking to srinivas and i was like, will we be saved in this country? safe in this country? i was so worried. i think that the hate crime will be more open now.

will it be safe for us to go to the mall, will it be safe for us to go to the office? he hugged me like this and he said don't worry, we should be ok. just days after the attack, austins bar and grill has reopened. police are investigating whether the two men were targeted because of their race. for now, people here want to stress that this is a community that welcomes people from all backgrounds. that report and more information on what happened in kansas last week is available online whenever you want to access it. i sibille four stories to access it. i sibille four stories to talk about, this is the fourth because this man was a navy seals

and he was killed during the raid on and he was killed during the raid on an al-qaeda compound in yemen. donald trump signed off on the meal —— deal. several civilians including children were also killed during the attack. it has been revealed that his father refused to meet donald trump following the death. this is a quote via the miami herald. the government owes my son and investigation, why was there this stupid mission when it was not even a week into the administration, why? donald trump says he signed off ona why? donald trump says he signed off on a mission in the name of us national security. i spoke to bbc arabic for more details. firstly, the mission was put forward to president obama before president trump took office. president obama said there was not sufficient intelligence to go ahead and was waiting for more information and he

said it would mean a big step in change of policy towards counterterrorism and how they deal with it regarding the us in yemen. but, the father of the navy seals said it was a grand display and that is what it was. it was president trump showing how he will deal with counterterrorism in office. it went wrong. how does this raid and the aftermath affect america and al-qaeda and how does it fit into the equation? in this situation, al-qaeda will use something like this to sweep into the families affected who had children killed or husbands killed and use it as an opportunity to recruit. as for the us, there is a situation where president trump has to rethink the way in which he deals with operations like this. it was a big

mistake, his first counterterrorism operation and it went wrong. it was the first time in two years the us has put boots on the ground in yemen and a navy seals killed. there needs to be an investigation and he needs to be an investigation and he needs to think how he would deal with operations in the middle east. this is an intriguing story, the uk former conservative premise tojohn major has made a sharp intervention on the issue of brexit calling on the current conservative government to show more charm and less cheap rhetoric towards the rest of the european union and he says the costs of brexit will be substantial and is unpalatable. sirjohn major really going forward.

he was known as being mild mannered when he was prime minister and i guess in terms of tone of voice, he was quite mild in the delivery but the content was really quite spiky. but extracts, he felt plenty of people on the remains side of the argument in the british referendum are being shut down in the debate in the uk and he thinks those who advocated brexit have been too optimistic about the upsides and have not really been drawn on the downside. he said his big fear was the people in the country least able to cope potentially with what he sees as the negative of brexit or what he fears will be the ones least able to look after themselves and help themselves back on to their feet so a stinging criticism of the

government and the whole idea of brexit which he thinks has been a mistake. perhaps that is not a surprise given he campaigned for bremain in the first place but former pro ministers are listens to and that is why he need a speech would generate attention. it is an interesting and important subject, a referendum campaign but what is he trying to achieve because the uk government only has the options given a result of the referendum on the position of the eu? quite and those who articulate the government position or support the government position or support the government position or support the government within the governing conservative party have made the argument since the speech that of course the government will talk up the good game at the moment about britain's prospects for a decent deal with the eu with the negotiations a matter of weeks away. i spoke to one conservative who said

when you went to any negotiation you sound positive, that does not mean you are not alive to the fact compromises must be made but at the outset you have to sound positive. for sirjohn major, he was trying to move on from the discussion about what happened in the campaign to the tone of the discussion of the debate in the uk since the campaign. i guess he is also trying to weigh in and hope he will be listens to in government in terms of his hopes and concerns and fears about how britain will cope outside of the european union. these are the opening skirmishes of the brexit debate because the whole business of leaving triggering article 50 of the treaty of the european union has not yet happened but will happen within a month. of the 2500 and early 2000 cases we

do not think there was any evidence and we are going through the remaining ones. we are live in the bbc newsroom. donald trump is to seek to boost defence spending by 10% in his proposed budget for 2018. we have had stories in the uk, us and yemen, next chile because millions in santiago are without clean water caused by mudslides which in turn we re caused by mudslides which in turn were caused by torrential rain.

daniel, thank you. give us an idea of what needs to be done to get clea n water of what needs to be done to get clean water to these people. well, it is difficult because imagine in the middle of one of the biggest mountain ranges in the world, the andes which are covered in wildlife of all sorts and forest and when you add to that tonnes of aggressive water storms generating thick mud that comes into the rivers and reservoirs which other source of water for reservoirs which other source of waterfor millions of reservoirs which other source of water for millions of people. you have to build ponds and collect water and have reservoirs so it is difficult. the weather has been very dry in chile. is that reason the rain has come it is causing not really. specialists say the cause of

this is global warming. there was consensus. in the sense that we are living through summer, the weather is supposed to be nice right now but it is unpredictable what happens on these rains were not expected here. therein mind chile has a long history of catastrophe —— bear in mind. the worst wildfires took place here and there has been a severe eight years long drought. it is difficult to know how this comes and how do you act on it but what it seems is chilea ns how do you act on it but what it seems is chileans are prepared for this, partly because of their history of catastrophe and solutions seem history of catastrophe and solutions seem to come on their way. we appreciate your update. we will speak to again tomorrow to see if clea n water speak to again tomorrow to see if clean water is being delivered to those who need it in chile. later,

back to american politics, this man is expected to be confirmed as the commerce secretary. he is a billionaire businessman and he will be in the company of lots of billionaire businessmen because there are a number in a cabinet. michelle is live from wall street. for people who do not know him, introduce us. well, one moniker is the king of bankruptcy because a lot of his fortune was made buying up companies in trouble and turning them around and seeing profits that no one else did. an example in 2002 buying some steelwork companies that we re buying some steelwork companies that were going into bankruptcy thus saving thousands of jobs, were going into bankruptcy thus saving thousands ofjobs, that earned him a lot of support amongst labour unions and the democrat party and you have seen that reflected perhaps in the way he has been treated in these confirmation

hearings, not as contentious as some of the other cabinet picks. he is a billionaire, he is well known on wall street, no stranger running a private equity firm which he said if he is confirmed as commerce secretary he will separate himself from a business but not completely of all his business interests. he is worth around $3 billion so no change there and we are waiting to see whether or not one of the questions that has existed has been some of his relationship and ties to russia and a bank in cyprus. michelle, explain how the role of commerce secretary fits into the broader roles within the administration. yeah, that is good, if you think about it, the job yeah, that is good, if you think about it, thejob of, yeah, that is good, if you think about it, the job of, secretary is to increase american exports to the rest of the world, the other aspect is it is to attract business to the

us. really, he is in many senses trying to create the environment thatis trying to create the environment that is best for business. one cheap task many think he will be asked to lead is negotiations of nafta, the trade deal with canada and mexico and something donald trump has said isa and something donald trump has said is a priority. michelle, thank you for that. major enquiry into historical sexual abuse of british children began hearing evidence today from people who are sent overseas as children the second world war. it is a cruel detail that some of britain's child migrants were falsely told their parents had died. for decades there had been efforts to reunite them with their british families. now an inquiry, with many of the powers of a court, is sitting down to the job of understanding why it happened. child migration programmes were large—scale schemes,

in which thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently migrated to remote parts of the british empire. the liner asturias arrives at fremantle from great britain with 931 new migrants for this country. we anticipate that you will hear evidence that these children were put on board ships departing from england and wales without being given any real understanding of where they were going, what they were doing, or why they were being sent. more than 4,000 ended up in farm schools or remote religious institutions, mainly in australia. physical labour, poor food, mistreatment. this is what they'll tell the inquiry. we were sent to what we can only describe as labour camps. where we were starved, beaten and abused in despicable ways. sexual abuse, worst at religious institutions like this one, is what this inquiry is really about. it's never been examined in detail.

i was only ten. this man in a suit came to see me and said, "your mother's dead, you know, so, how'd you like to go to australia?" in 2011, the story of a nottinghamshire social worker, margaret humphreys' battle to uncover the scandal was made into a feature film. she has campaigned for 30 years for today's hearings. we want to know what's happened, we want to know who did it and we want to know who covered it up for so long. of course we need to know about it. there are consequences for children, today. but this is just the start of something bigger. this inquiry will cover abuse in lambeth and nottinghamshire children homes, schools in rochdale, custodial institutions, residential schools, and both the anglican and catholic churches. yet resignations and controversy have delayed this work. and today, there was another untimely embarrassment, the inquiry sent out an e—mail in which it was possible to read the e—mail addresses of everyone who received it, including some people who have

been sexually abused and are entitled to legal anonymity. the inquiry has had to report itself to the information commissioner. these are the very people that we are supposed to be relying on to keep our data safe. especially the details about our abuse. and so it has made some survivors very worried. many never recover. . . and it distracts from the inquiry‘s real work. ..and are permanently afflicted with guilt, shame, diminished self—confidence, low self—esteem. .. which is hard enough. tom symonds, bbc news at the child abuse inquiry. there is more information available online when you want to access it. i will speak to you in a couple of minutes. it is that time of day we

ta ke minutes. it is that time of day we take a look at interesting weather events happening around the world and firstly north america where there was a contrast in the weather northwest to south—east. much milder air in the south—east, the air is spilling in from the gulf of mexico with big storms across eastern areas on tuesday and wednesday. up towards the great lakes, heavy rain and thunderstorms and gusty winds. further west some snow showers continuing across utah, nevada and arizona with things drying up and warming up arizona with things drying up and warming up across arizona with things drying up and warming up across southern california. for the middle east, stormy weather on the cards later this week, the south—westerly wind picks up, some dusty conditions across parts of saudi arabia and you can see showers developing here. they will become heavier and more extensive as we fast forward 24 hours so by wednesday some stormy

conditions across northern parts of saudi arabia towards the levant sofa jordan and syria, severe thunderstorms and gusty winds. much of india looking fine, dry and sunny as we expect. temperatures on the rise, 38 points 6 degrees in mumbai at the weekend, something similar through tuesday. some snow showers across northern pakistan and northern india and heavy rainfall on the cards across sri lanka. in europe, a big area of low pressure moving in from the north—west and you can see the proximity of the isobars bringing windy and unsettled weather across many central parts of europe as the low—pressure sinks south eastwards. through tuesday, heavy rainfall for spain and france as that bumps into the alps we will see heavy snowfall for the southern alps, southern france and italy and austria, significant snowfall whereas further east across europe

things remain largely dry and fairly settled. the weather across the uk over the next few days, a lot of cloud, fairly heavy blustery showers sweeping across much of the country and the unsettled theme continues through much of the week ahead, things are changeable and we will continue to see blustery showers. through tuesday we will see this band of rain, sleet and snow moving in from the north west, icy conditions around on tuesday morning, take care on the roads and pushing south and eastwards through the day. quite chilly, six or 9 degrees and feeling colder when exposed to the breeze. thoroughly and settled into the middle of the week. more details on the website and here in half an hour. some of the main stories in the bbc newsroom. first, donald trump in washington. we need to make people

accountable. he's going to hike military spending. i think you have certainly almost seen this already. there is a mistake. moonlights, you quys there is a mistake. moonlights, you guys won best picture. moonlights, best picture —— moonlight. we will talk about the oscars in a moment.
