you're watching beyond one hundred days. the scandal surrounding media mogul harvey weinstein intensifies with more women coming forward alleging sexual harassment. barack and michelle obama add their names to the list coming forward calling the reported behaviour disgusting. from gwyneth paltrow to angelina jolie — some of hollywood's biggest stars are coming forward to accuse weinstein of unwanted advances. the spanish government gives catalan leaders a deadline. decide in five days whether they are declaring independence or not. president trump is due to make his decision on the iran nuclear deal this week. we speak to one of the architects of the agreement. also on the programme. welcoming our neighbour to the north. this hour canada's prime minister justin trudeau meets president trump at the white house. and — the battle of the sexes comes to the big screen. four decades after billiejean king defeated bobby riggs — she talks to the bbc about the historic match. welcome.

i am christian fraser in london, jane o'brien is in washington. it's a depressing, taudry tale of sexual abuse, power and exploitation. the sort of script that makes men in hollywood rich. but this was real. and at the centre of it harvey weinstein, a movie titan, so feared within the business that countless actresses who had been cornered or abused never dared to come forward. hollywood would have us believe it didn't know. but they did know. they even joked about it. harvey weinstein had settled eight times with some of his accusers — and the people who worked for him knew what he was like. but, he kept getting away with it. from new york the bbc‘s nick bryant. the namesjust keep on coming. from a—list actresses to women who just wanted to break into the movie and tv industry. one after one, claiming harvey weinstein sexually abused or harassed them. he denies many of the accusations.

but now his wife of ten years has decided to leave him, horrified by what she has been hearing. the british fashion designer georgina chapman described her husband's actions as unforgivable and said, "my heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain". the new zealand model zoe brock claimed the producer harassed her the cannes film festival in the late 1990s. harvey walked out of the room and came back in naked. he came back naked? naked. what did you say? and he said that he wanted a massage, could i give him a massage? and i said no. the british actress romola garai says she was left feeling violated when weinstein auditioned her as an 18—year—old. harvey developed a love of reading... from a stage at the white house michelle obama once lauded this major democratic party fundraiser. this is possible because of harvey. he is a wonderful human being.

but finally the obamas, whose oldest daughter malia conducted an internship at the weinstein company this summer, have issued a statement saying they are disgusted. this is the headquarters of the weinstein company, which sacked its co—founder on sunday. it is said to be considering a change of name. the company faces the same questions as the industry as a whole. did it protect him? did it enable him? was this an open secret that friends and colleagues simply chose to ignore? as the revelations keep coming, so do the repercussions. bafta has just suspended weinstein from its membership, effective immediately. the call for accountability is getting louder. all of this harassment, it's absolutely horrible. i feel terrible for the women and i'm glad they are speaking out. i think it takes a lot of guts. maybe we are at a tipping point. weinstein is said to be seeking treatment but friends and colleagues

are repelling a mogul who this time last week was one of the most powerful and most magnetic personalities in movies. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. and joining us now is stephen garrett, the film critic for the new york observer. thank you for being with us. one quote from rose mcgowan who reached an agreement with weinstein bridge was 23, she said men in hollywood need to change. the power of hollywood is dying because society has changed and grown and yet hollywood male behaviour has not. the point cheesemaking i think is that obviously it would have been good had more women come forward but why did more men not come forward?|j think why did more men not come forward?” think everyone is terrified of losing whatever power or hold they have on the industry. and they do

not want to go up against someone like harvey weinstein who has proved himself time and again to be a rainmakerfor himself time and again to be a rainmaker for many difficult films. so if you are a talented film—maker oi’ so if you are a talented film—maker or actor you do not necessarily want to put him against you. does this come back to the insecurity of people in the business, however high up people in the business, however high up they get, there's always someone younger, more glamorous coming behind you and you have to ingratiate yourself with someone like him? i think that is true and it is an industry that has had a real tawdry history dating back decades. dating back to fatty arbuckle and the 1920s. there have a lwa ys arbuckle and the 1920s. there have always been hollywood scandals to the point where it is almost a cliche. we have a movie like la confidential referencing these type of scandal. so hollywood has all glamorised its own behaviour. we had

kevin spacey playing an abuse of bath 20 years ago and the whole cliche of the casting couch has been around for decades. i think it is possibly and quite sadly, a lot of people who work in hollywood just think it is business as usual. people who work in hollywood just think it is business as usualm seems these allegations only come to light when a critical mass of complainants appear, in this case the number of women who have come forward but people will say angelina jolie, willis bolger, they have been powerful in the industry for years and why do you think that even they have been slow to speak out?m and why do you think that even they have been slow to speak out? it is a good question, maybe, this is but maybe harvey weinstein is not the only man who has made on toward advances towards them in hollywood during their career. he is not the only person exhibiting bad behaviour, in this case actually quite violent rapist behaviour which is abhorrent. honestly have never heard any stories like that about

people in hollywood until now. to this extent in modern, you know in the past 20 years or so, this is an outlier. it seems to be at this point, who knows what else is out there and hopefully these things will come to light now that people have a bit more confidence and security knowing that they will be heard and believed. how do you changed it because most of them producers, the big producers are men, most of the directors are men, predominantly most of the big parts go to male actors. how do you protect women in the industry from something like this? it is a good question and i have been women in power but few and far between. sheuey power but few and far between. shelley lansing, head of paramount for many years, you think of... and you think of directors, angelina jolie, moving towards directing her own material. i think they're trying

to create opportunities for themselves wherever possible and the door is opening mau mau. a movie like wonder woman directed by patty jenkins who took years to get any products off the ground in hollywood and now they're throwing money at her to come back and direct a new film. so the slow progress but you need change at the top. this past week it was interesting that one third of the board resigned at the weinstein company, i think friday another person resigned on sunday, and of course harvey was on the board as well. so a lot of vacancies there and i would not be surprised if they filmed them with women because that would be a smart move. up because that would be a smart move. up until that point it was only men on the board of company. there is a danger that people on the outside will start to stay if you're rich and powerful you can get away it. —— start to say and there were 12 allegations against the president do not forget and he still got elected.

and the number of women who voted for him as well, this is something that came up again and again when i was covering the campaign. and especially young women who said well we know what he's like, but we do not care. we want to vote for someone, we not care. we want to vote for someone, we want not care. we want to vote for someone, we want a not care. we want to vote for someone, we want a president who is strong on the issues that do matter to us. and also interestingly many of them said they did not like hillary clinton because they felt she had covered up a lot of the scandal to do with bill clinton during his presidency. so it the impunity, that often is reinforced by the women themselves. and something that the president has not tweeted on today! spain's prime minister has rejected any offer of mediation between his government and the catalan authorities. but has stopped short of withdrawing cataluna's autonomy — at least until the government in barcelona has clarified whether they have declared independence or non. it puts the catalan president, carles puigdemont in a dilemna. if he doesn't formally declare independence his minority government may lose one of its crucial coalition partners.

and if he does declare independence he is on collision course with the spanish prime minister — here's what mariano rajoy had to say earlier. it is not possible to have a dialogue on something which is expressly prohibited by the constitution. many people have put themselves forward as mediators in good will. i certaintly share their interest and conern. but it is not possible in a democratic and legal system to do that. so what's been the reaction in barcelona ? tim willcox is there for us. you said yesterday that carles puigdemont has got to be careful to keep his coalition together. there we re keep his coalition together. there were some within the coalition who displeased with what he said yesterday. are and they're living in

parallel universes, these two men. when mariano rajoy said you have until monday the 16th to clarify what you said and then three days to revoke that if indeed you did declare independence, people i have been speaking to in the coalition which backs carles puigdemont said i tell you what we suggest, that two members of the spanish parliament get—together with two members of the cata la n get—together with two members of the catalan parliament and agree on an international mediation team. they do not understand each other‘s language. they're do not understand each other‘s language. they‘ re speaking do not understand each other‘s language. they're speaking catalan ba bette language. they're speaking catalan babette is not the issue, they're not on the same page in of what country are saying. this position is clear, that this referendum was illegal, outside the constitution, not valid. there will be dialogue but they will not talk about independence as such. and as far as ican independence as such. and as far as i can understand it last night by sloan and catalonia was independent for about 30 seconds, that is when

did independence was announced and then initially retracted. or suspended, rather, to open the door for dialogue with madrid. where no further forward. thank you for the moment. we're joined now from madrid by the former spanish security minister and a member of parliment for the ruling people's party francisco martinez. if you were still in charge of security, what preparations would you be making right now? welll guess the government has two enforced the law. so police officers, the ministry of the interior has got to provide all the resources for the courts and judges to protect the constitution and enforce the law. what does that mean on the ground in catalonia? we

already have many law enforcement officers and police officers in catalonia in order to prevent a breach of the constitution. so the situation has two calm down, we need the regional government in catalonia to step back from what they're doing to step back from what they're doing to stop which is very improper and very serious. there are seriously damaging the way we live, the constitutional framework, damaging the way we live, the constitutionalframework, our damaging the way we live, the constitutional framework, our common values. so they need to step back. and of course the government and the whole state, the courts and prosecutors, everyone is going to protect the legal system is any national state in the 21st century will do. it sounds almost as if you're preparing for civil war, is it as bad as that? not at all. of course we're not. what we're doing is facing a very serious constitutional crisis which was

caused by a regional government supported by separatist party, which decided in a unilateral wayjust to make the wrong choice and impose their will on many other citizens in catalonia and millions of spanish people that want to live in a plural, diverse, democratic but unique country. this is nothing to do with civil war, it has to do with just forcing their will on many other people and from the perspective of the government, of the constitutional parties, the parliament, the courts, all of us, we arejust parliament, the courts, all of us, we are just protecting everyone's rights and the constitutional procedures. so no talk about civil war, it is something that would not happen at all. thank you very much. the us president is still stoking the rhetoric on north korea. and on tuesdayjust to drive home the message the us military flew two strategic bombers over the korean peninsula. meanwhile, north korea's foreign minister says president trump has "lit the wick of war."

but what do we know about the preparations inside the secretive nation? do they hear what donald trump says about "the little rocket man". recently new york times columnist nicholas kristof spent five days reporting there and hejoined us a short time ago. thank you forjoining us. you paint a remarkable picture of a country that seems to be consumed with the potential for war. is that because they're listening to the rhetoric from donald trump would this be because it is what the pyongyang regime once the country to think anyway? north korea has always been anyway? north korea has always been a country of propaganda, of military mobilisation. but this time much more so mobilisation. but this time much more so than on my previous trips, and partly i think because of a general escalation of tensions in the past couple of years, and in

particular it is partly because of president trump and his rhetoric and in particular his speech to the united nations in which she talked about the total destruction of north korea. i think he was attempting to intimidate kimjong korea. i think he was attempting to intimidate kim jong un korea. i think he was attempting to intimidate kimjong un into backing off but in fact the north koreans have seized upon that for their own propaganda purposes. partly because there narrative for the existence of kim jong—un is to defend the green people from outside threats and now they have someone talking about the total destruction of their country and it plays very much into their own narrative. and never using it to justify their rule and justified the military mobilisation and further escalate tensions themselves.” military mobilisation and further escalate tensions themselves. i know you have been there several times and obviously we should make the point that when you're out there who are point that when you're out there who a re closely point that when you're out there who are closely monitored and watched, did you detect this time around that attitudes towards you had hardened? north koreans themselves, they're

perfectly hospitable and friendly to individuals. but beyond the individuals. but beyond the individual reactions to americans i felt a bit more of a menace and in an unusual way and that is that in the past american journalists an unusual way and that is that in the past americanjournalists had a lwa ys the past americanjournalists had always been housed in hotels injohn young put up this time i was put up in the foreign ministry guesthouse outside of pyongyang, along the rice paddies and initially i thought it was to protect your screens from my own enquiries. but increasingly it became clear that this was actually the foreign ministry, their effort to protect me from military, or other security agencies that might not be fully on—board with an average two american journalists and they were regarded simply as imperious spies. so the field and north korea really is different today than it was a few years ago.

—— the fuel. was there any sense that anyone there was looking for a way out of this confrontation with the us because of course hardliners are in the ascendancy both here and there in washington?” are in the ascendancy both here and there in washington? i think i was in north korea precisely because there are factions in the government trying to find an exit from these escalating tensions. the north korean foreign ministry, they have been trying to bring in journalists and scholars to have, to track communications with outsiders. so i think there are indeed elements in the north korean government that are concerned about where things are headed just as there are elements within the us government. and in the state department they're concerned about this. i think there are people on both sides trying to avert what could be a calamitous collision. but i also think they are marginalised in both places. a rare and

fascinating insight into north korea there. president trump is set to decide this week whether or not he will re—certify the iran nuclear deal — the word in washington is he will probably withdraw his support for the agreement. what the president often ignores is that this deal, doesn't just involve the united states and tehran — but "the p5+i", the five security council powers and germany. this agreement is a rare example of european unity — and europeans are very keen to keep it in place. here in washington the british embassy has been trying to impress on the americans just how successful the deal has been. before 2015, according to an embassy video, there was a high risk of iran developing a nuclear missile. they had 19, 000 centrifuges running, 8000 kgs of low enriched uranium and a stockpile of weapons grade uranium. they were months from getting the bomb. today the risk level is closer to green. there is always that risk iran will develop weapons out of sight. but since 2015 the british embassy says iran has given up

2/3 of its centrifuges, there's a 300kg limit on its uranium stockpile — that will stay in place for 15 years. and it has shipped out 95% of its uranium stockpile — including all weapons—grade material. so what happens if mr trump decertifies the deal on thursday? we can speak now to ernest moniz, former energy secretary and part of the vienna team that sealed the deal. if he declares iran to be in noncompliance, is the deal dead? not necessarily however i believe the move by the president to not certify compliance would be negative in any case but just compliance would be negative in any case butjust to work compliance would be negative in any case but just to work through compliance would be negative in any case butjust to work through the implications. one implication is that iran could have the option that in withdrawing we lose the rollback of the nuclear programme that was

just discussed, we lose very importantly the increased visibility we have in the programme. in fact the verification measures, some of which go on forever by the way, i think actually is the most important pa rt think actually is the most important part of the deal. we probably succeed in isolating ourselves, you mention the british ambassador and thatis mention the british ambassador and that is correct, also true of the french and german ambassadors, the eu ambassador, they're all made it clear if we walk away, we walk away alone. that can only lead to a bad outcome. and so if you look at it, there is no good outcome even if we stay in the deal technically, if congress chose not to reimpose sanctions, technically we will be in the deal but we've already seen from the deal but we've already seen from the reaction of our european allies for example that we have fragmented toa for example that we have fragmented to a certain extent very hard—won cohesion that we created in the negotiation. just looking at lines

from bbc monitoring coming in, this from bbc monitoring coming in, this from president rohani, he said any which the agreement would be a treacherous act and he goes say we will not have any difficulty in fulfilling our objectives in advancing our direction. we are from someone advancing our direction. we are from someone close to the government in tehran yesterday that if congress reimpose sanctions they would probably return to developing nuclear material. i think that remains to be seen, what the reaction would be particularly if our european allies, russia and china, or work with iran to try to at least more or less stay in the deal. that is why this uncertainty is, the uncertainty will go on no matter what the president says tomorrow. but if you think about the relationship between the united states and our european allies which obviously is a keystone of our entire geopolitical approach, and if we break the deal, there is no good outcome. on the one hand if we

impose, reimpose the sanctions and europe says no we're not going along with that because iran is in compliance, what do we do. we cannot sanction european banks, if we do not one of the accomplished. so againi not one of the accomplished. so again i think the choice by the president tomorrow which we all expect to be one of not certifying, fundamentally only leads to bad pathways that compromise our national security. very briefly, what other leveraged does the us have, without this deal, to tackle other bad behaviour from around by the support of terrorism and interference in syria ? the support of terrorism and interference in syria? well again the choice to narrow the discretion to nuclear weapons is one that has historical precedent. president reagan chose that pathway. number two, imagine iran with or with the thought of having a nuclear weapon,

just look at how the negotiations with north korea go in that case. it just would be exacerbated. so the a nswer just would be exacerbated. so the answer has to be what we set down. in no way are sanctions relieved that apply because of missiles, human rights, terrorist supporter. but we need to do is continue to mmp but we need to do is continue to ramp up the collaboration with our friends and allies, europeans and the gulf countries to force that. we have to leave it there, thank you. and i was told that jane got her and i was told thatjane got her us citizenship today! in one of the biggest upsets of the world cup qualifiers, the united states has failed to reach the tournament for the first time in over 30 years. not a good time to become us citizen! they were in pole position to secure the last of three qualifying spots, joining mexico and costa rica, but a 2—1 defeat in trinidad alongside wins for panama and honduras meant they finished fifth out of six teams

in their qualifying group. the one site is panama have a really good football team as well as a canal and good football team as well as a ca nal and they‘ re good football team as well as a canal and they're going to the world cup for the first time! so would you support england? if! know cup for the first time! so would you support england? if i know how badly they would perform i might thought twice about turning up to the ceremony! well do not let it worry you. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — justin trudeau flies in to try and rescue the nafta deal — trump has called it a disaster. and a new film about tennis' famous battle of the sexes — we speak to billiejean king about how she put one male chauvinist in his place. that's still to come. good evening. the rain has been

problematic and has caused disruption today because cumbria four. the highest rainfall total, over 200 millimetres. that is a 24—hour total but really quite exceptional amounts of rain nevertheless. and as you perceive very cloudy with poor visibility and a lot of hill fog around. the bulk of the rain is clearing, but many showers coming in as well. some fairly intense downpours so not com pletely fairly intense downpours so not completely out of the woods. the rain is taking until after dark to reach southern and eastern areas. we have showers starting to ease a little in the north as well so in the grounds of scotland it could be close to frost levels. a chilly start to tomorrow morning with some

mist and fog in central and southern areas. afair mist and fog in central and southern areas. a fair breeze still blowing across scotland and northern ireland. but from us but the country thursday looking like a fine day. temperatures similar to today although slightly fresher air. then through the evening and overnight, the cloud gathering in the and more weather fronts coming our way. looking quite windy into friday. not quite as wet for the north—west of england, the bulk of the rain further north but nevertheless some rain around in the north—west of england. but these tomorrow looking drier. some really warm air coming m, drier. some really warm air coming in, even without rain further north. and that is because we're pulling in some much warmer air which will continue into the weekend. in fact it may continue into the beginning of next week but with a host of other problems potentially, some stormy weather heading our way. but

for the weekend, still some high—pressure close by. so to the north and south, some dry weather and pretty warm in the south as well. the question is how much sunshine we're going to see but up a similar outlook for sunday, but rain for the north of the country by then. this is beyond 100 days, with me christian fraser in london, on those. jane o'brien is in washington. the harvey weinstein scandal intensifies — hollywood a—listers are among the movie mogul‘s latest accusers. spain's prime minister gives the catalan government five days to decide whether they're declaring independence or not. coming up in the next half hour: talking trade at the white house. canada's prime minister is trying persuade president trump nafta is worth saving. and the dispute in american football over players kneeling during the national anthem takes another twist. now league officials are considering banning them if they do. the canadian prime ministerjustin

trudeau is meeting president trump for talks on trade in the region. the future of the north american free trade agreement will be high on the agenda as will other issue which pertain to the uk. the us has just imposed an 80% tariff on canada's biggest plane manufacturer bombardier, who have a plant in northern ireland, and that's on top of an existing 220% tariff. wider bi lateral trade will be discussed — it's notable incidentally, given donald trumps complaints about nafta, that the us has a $12.5 billion goods and services trade surplus with canada. and they will discuss the ongoing dispute over canadian softwood lumber, president trump has imposed extra tariffs of up to 24% on softwood. let's cross to ottawa and talk to roland paris — a former senior advisor to prime minister trudeau.

injoining me. in the last few minutes president trump has suggested that nafta could exist without mexico. does canada think that? canada's preference is to maintaina that? canada's preference is to maintain a trilateral nafta with mexico. we already have a largely integrated north american economy. we think canada's preference would be to move in that direction. of course if the us is going to blow up nafta then ca nada's course if the us is going to blow up nafta then canada's immediate interest is to maintain its close trading relationship with the us. but we are not there yet and donald trump has a lot of things about a lot of things. he also said, we'll see, when asked if nafta was dead. usually people get fired when people say that. i think he has been saying he intended to cancel nafta since he was a candidate. about 100 days into

his presidency he mused about cancelling it there and then and decided quite publicly and theatrically not to do so at the time. it is always difficult to know with donald trump which of his comments are meant for effect and which he genuinely believes. this is co re which he genuinely believes. this is core interest to canada, this is central economic interest, so i think the canadian government is taking this extremely seriously right now. obviously he will talk about bombardier and i guess the british prime minister will be watching the outcome of that. one of the questions he might ask the president is why is he so interested in state subsidies that are given to bombardier and not interested in state subsidies to airbus boeing. it's a very good point. boeing is one of the largest recipients of taxpayer subsidies in the united states so it is the irony and hypocrisy are not lost on those of us hypocrisy are not lost on those of us in canada when boeing is using us

trade regulations in effect as a commercial weapon. but i think this is just commercial weapon. but i think this isjust one element commercial weapon. but i think this is just one element in a trade relationship between canada and the us which is entering a period of greater tension and uncertainty, but is really the focus of our prime minister on those nafta discussions. some us negotiators have been floating ideas that would be total nonsta rters floating ideas that would be total nonstarters canada and mexico. the idea for example of having a sunset clause in nafta that would effectively automatically terminate the agreement unless there was an endorsement after five years by all three parties. that is a time bomb ina three parties. that is a time bomb in a trade agreement. we would never agree to that. other elements including getting rid of a dispute settle m e nt including getting rid of a dispute settlement system that canada relies on forfair settlement system that canada relies on for fair adjudication. settlement system that canada relies on forfairadjudication. even settlement system that canada relies on for fair adjudication. even the head of the us chamber of commerce which is a strong re—republican leaning organisation came out recently and said these proposals

would destroy nafta and i'm sure thatis would destroy nafta and i'm sure that is what the prime minister is telling donald trump in washington. thank you very much your thoughts. well in just a few hours president trump will be in pennsylvania pushing ahead on one of his key campaign promises — tax cuts. the state helped deliver the white house for mr trump and now he's going back to stress the need for financial reform. but could the recent spats with members of his own party hurt the president's chances of getting his agenda passed? joining us now is ron christie, former advisor to george w bush. he ruined your weekend, apparently, mrtrump. why do he ruined your weekend, apparently, mr trump. why do you tell us why. we are not talking about tax reform. no. you sit there and the twitter goes off and goes off again and again. on sunday we saw the president going after one of the most senior members of the senate foreign relations committee and this

has significant relations for him trying to get a tax bill through. yet he has two votes to play with. the republicans have 52 to 48 in that chamber. if you go after bob corker and john mccain you are already needing the bryce president to break the tie. i think what he has done recently is hurting the prospects of tax reform. it is quite extraordinary. and the other people he has gone after are the media. he may be trying to fire up his base let me read you this tweet. with all of the fake news coming out of nbc and the networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their license? bad for country! what does this say when a president even suggests removing the licence ofa even suggests removing the licence of a major company? i've never seen this before except a couple of days ago. he said he wanted to take away the anti—trust exemption of the national football league and now he is saying this about a major broadcast network. we have never seen broadcast network. we have never seen this before. we've never seen a

president of the us trying to pick winners and losers with corporations and business entities. if i owned a business right now that was on his radar i would be more than a little worried given recent behaviour. didn't press secretary say last week, the president is an incredible advocate of the first amendment. let's talk about another issue. eminem. he has been speaking ahead of the hip—hop awards and he put out a video unleashing on donald trump. excuse me for the language. any fan of mine who is a supporter of his i am drawing in the sand line you are eitherfor or am drawing in the sand line you are either for or against. and am drawing in the sand line you are eitherfor or against. and if you can't decide who you like more and you are split on who you should stand beside i will do it for you. the inimitable style of eminem. two

things about this. first it is filmed in michigan and michigan won it for the president. the link between pop culture and politics as we know is powerful. this will reach an audience that is outside the audience that takes any notice of politics. it also shows, with the line, just how deep the divisions go. not only how deep the divisions go. not only how deep the divisions go but this has serious political ramifications for the president. a lot of the viewers might not know that eminem is looking at running for the united states senate from michigan next year. what if he gets in this race? as a republican and yet has drawn the line against trump? and if you listen to the entire video, it is very divisive language, derry profanity laced. the president will be a difficult spot of do president will be a difficult spot ofdoi president will be a difficult spot of do i support someone who could potentially be my party's nominee or doi potentially be my party's nominee or do i stay silent? which as we know,

is very difficult for him to do. well, i hope he doesn't ruin your next weekend! thank you forjoining us. deal..or no deal? the prime minister and her chancellor appeared to be at odds today in planning for the possibility of the uk leaving the eu without a formal agreement. philip hammond said taxpayers' money will not be set aside for the no brexit deal scenario until the very last moment. but theresa may told mps the government is committing money to prepare for every brexit eventuality. we are preparing for every eventuality. we are committing money to prepare for brexit, including a no deal scenario. and it might be helpful if i update the house, the treasury has committed over £250 million of new money to departments like defra, home office, each mrc in this financial year for brexit preparations. i am very pleased to say our favourite brexit duo are back with us. labour's seema molhotra who voted remain and the conservative mp nigel evans who voted leave. good to have you back with us.

nothing much has happened since we last spoke. let's talk about all these talks of the no deal scenario. i know you wrote a remain but can you at least accept that unless we have an outside option then really we are at the whim of the germans and the rest of the eu.” we are at the whim of the germans and the rest of the eu. i think what we see this week to be honest is the government has found itself the worst of both worlds, by threatening no deal and then being undecided about whether it will prepare for it. what we have also come to see though is the debate is refocusing itself on what is right for britain's economy, for our future. in that the government is very much coming unstuck. i know your viewers would also be concerned about this, we would not want to see a future and the situation of no deal which threatens jobs, the economy, and the situation of no deal which threatensjobs, the economy, sees people lose their employment, which

could have been prevented by the government planning further ahead. i think on all of this is the government is coming unstuck without being clear on its direction, and i think we want to see far more clarity, clarity that businesses deserve so they can plan ahead. nigel, one of our correspondence today characters rise this as a guerrilla war between tory brexiteers and the remainder in chief, philip hammond. he has you down as a gorilla worrier. are you one? only in my dreams. no. philip and the entire cabinet are behind theresa may in the approach she is taking. i wish they had planned a little before the referendum but david cameron was so convinced remain would win he didn't even bother. he should have. but we are where we are. we are one year, five months off from leaving the eu. what

has become clear today and the prime minister said it at pmq 's, there will be no second referendum. that is definitely out. and we are leaving the eu in march 200019. that is one year five months from now. i sat on the international trade select committee this morning and we decided one of the things we will look into is what is going to happen if there is no deal. that is one thing michel barnier and the whole commission needs to really understand, which is at the end of the day it takes two to negotiate, two to tango, and if they are not prepared to do that and they pooh—pooh every teresa gave that wonderful florence speech or david davis offers something they say it is not enough, while that is not a negotiation. it is not they are not getting any answers, they are not getting any answers, they are not getting the answers they like and what they don't like is that we are leaving the eu. in the florence speech we offered them a transition of up to two years where we will carry on paying into the kitty, and

ifi carry on paying into the kitty, and if i were them i would bite to reza's hand off to get that deal. if i were them i would bite to reza's hand off to get that dealm is hardly a kitty. this is where we get something in return. we get the access to the single market and many other benefits that are right that our economy. the reality is we are also 16 months on from the brexit referendum and in the year since the referendum and in the year since the referendum we have actually fallen from the top to the bottom of the g-7 from the top to the bottom of the g—7 league table. there are consequences for how we are doing brexit. i think if people are looking to the government to be clear about its direction, and doing the right thing for the economy, they are not seeing that i and what we have seen from theresa may this week. if i can also make this final point, you will know 120 members of parliament today wrote the government asking them to publicly impact assessment they have done on 50 plus sectors of the economy. so far the government has refused to publish that. you and i can probably agree that the government has information about the economy here,

the eu 27 will have 27 different sets of data about the economy in their trade links with the uk, so their trade links with the uk, so the question is what the government is hiding and why is the public and parliament being kept in the dark.” wa nt parliament being kept in the dark.” want to play poker here. she will go into any poker game with me showing her hands completely! if we have information to their benefit and not two hours i do not want to share it with michel barnier or mr task. it is about time they came to the table and told us what they want. to pay 20 billion over two years to access a market where we have a 60 to £70 billion deficit is a great deal for them. i would not play poker with either of you. he might want to listen to his own chancellor, businesses need certainty. thank you both of you. this is beyond 100 days. still to come —

one of the greatest tennis players of all time — billiejean king — speaks to the bbc about how her most famous match has been turned into a film. nearly 30 years after concerns were first raised about salmonella in eggs, pregnant women, small children and vulnerable older people are being told they can now eat them raw or runny. an egg for breakfast. tasty, nutritious, full of vitamins, and cheap. but nearly 30 years ago a scare over salmonella in eggs meant that vulnerable groups like pregnant women and small children were advised to avoid having them runny. it was the then conservative junior health minister edwina currie who in 1988 wrongly declared that most eggs were infected with salmonella. that prompted a collapse in egg sales and mrs currie's resignation. there was a problem, although not on the scale suggested by mrs currie.

now flocks like this one in the lake district are salmonella free. that's down to a massive vaccination programme launched in the 1990s, along with improvements to animal welfare. more than 10,000 million eggs are produced in the uk every single year, nearly all of them — 90% — produced under the british lion scheme, now nearly 30 years after the great british salmonella egg scare, all those lion mark eggs are being declared free of the disease. the red lion mark scheme gives details of which farm and egg comes from and a best before date. a guarantee that eggs are safe to eat, no matter how they are cooked. alice, just seven months, and her sister lucy, nearly four, love their eggs. they are the perfect food for growing children, she is just learning about food now and eggs are brilliant because you can boil them, you can break them into bits and she can handle them, so we can do baby led weaning with it. and when you are in a rush they are very easy. eggs free from salmonella means the health benefits can now be enjoyed by young and old alike. dominic hughes, bbc news, the lake district. you're watching beyond 100 days.

welcome back. donald trump was elected to build a wall, reform taxes, repeal obamaca re, and build new infrastructure. but for three weeks the president's has been shifting the focus — to the nfl — this was his tweet today about black players taking a knee during the anthem. he tweeted: it is about time that roger goodell of the nfl is finally demanding that all players stand for our great national anthem — respect our country. the players are drawing attention to the issues of racial inequality and police brutality. but since the president intervened in this row, white players and white owners have locked arms with their black team—mates. it has become a deeply divisive issue. our sports correspondent richard conway has a special report

tonight on the bbc‘s newsnight programme. you have been to the us, got involved in the story, who did you speak to? we tried to speak to both sides. sport seems to be on the front line in america's racial and political divide right now. this all started with the san francisco go 49ers quarterback. he sat down on the bench last season during the national anthem, then started a meal. this season president rhombus taken issue with other players joining in with the protest movement. they say they are protesting against police brutality and social injustice but donald trump has taken a debate and turned it into patriotism, into respecting the flag. we try to speak to all sides on this we spoke to the owner of the new england patriots patriots, the quarterback, we went to high school as well to speak to some of the students in central florida to see how it has gone down

to grassroots level. we can hear from the owner of the new england patriots now, because he is navigating a very difficult path. it is very important to respect our flag and our anthem. but i also respect the right of people in this country to make statements or protest peacefully in a way that is appropriate to them. i think there were some comments made about what our young men were doing which were a little inflammatory and inappropriate. and i thought i had to speak out and i spoke to the team and i told them that they were free to do what they thought was correct. and the way you build team and you build success is to let people be themselves. who is actually winning this row?

donald trump osman base would say he is making important and valid point. a really interesting report in today's new york times which shows the nfl brand has become very divisive. what was one is one of the mainstays of american sports has now become this place where these political views are being tested every weekend so it would seem as if donald trump is getting the upper hand as it sounds. yesterday the nfl commissioner said the owners will have a meeting next week and that he wa nts to have a meeting next week and that he wants to see the players stand. they can of course incest as employers that will happen, but there would be a huge backlash from the players you would expect against this. that is where the problem lies at the moment. both sides dug in on this, not wanting to move. in our report we tried to move the debate on and see how it has filtered down across america. we went to a high school

which is produced around 30 nfl players over the last 30 years. it is in central florida, around 50 miles from donald trump's winter white house, but a world away. what these high school students have said is that these protests by professional players are really cutting through, they want to see them continue because they are being inspired by it. this is one of the players. someone has to speak up. we need to speak up. everybody needs to speak up. it is not always about football. it is about us as people. this is the land of the free but it is not free. that report tonight is on newsnight. richard will have his special report there. and you can watch more of richard conway's special report of the nfl bended knee protests, on newsnight. bbc two from 10.30 tonight. in the world of sports there are few

more memorable moments than the tennis match dubbed the ‘battle of the sexes'. bobby riggs, a former wimbledon champion took on billiejean king, the greatest female player of the time to show that equality in sport could never happen. but then king proved him wrong by winning the match. 44 years on, a film based on that encounter has just been released. our correspondent david sillito has been speaking to the woman at the centre of it all. billie jean king. the greatest female tennis player of her generation. i like pressure. i'm built for that kind of match. i always was built for that kind of match. this match is for all the guys around the world that feel as i do, the male is king, the male is supreme. bobby riggs, ageing tennis champion and self—confessed male chauvinist pig. the battle of the sexes, one of the most extraordinary matches in the history of tennis. 90 million people were watching. billie jean king, a pleasure to meet you.

44 years later, i met the real billiejean to see what she made of seeing her life turned into a movie. watching that film for the first time, it comes to an end, what's going through your mind? wow. that really happened! despite all the bravado, riggs has been working out every evening. this is the real bobby riggs. he was a hustler, he wanted to make some money. but for billiejean this was more than just a tennis match. it represents so much. it represents equality, it represents freedom. and the women who saw it have come up to me and it empowered them and gave them self—confidence. and the men come up to me and they go, they're the ones that are very emotional and sometimes have tears in their eyes and they'll say, i have a daughter now and that absolutely changed my whole outlook how i'm going to raise my children. for the first time wimbledon met little miss chubby legs with the owl like glasses...

it was a very different era. billiejean was at the time fighting for fair treatment for women players. but what did she really think of bobby riggs? what makes you think that i won't be able to psych you out of the match just like i did margaret? what makes you think that? i thought he was adorable and i thought he was crazy and he's a great promoter and... adorable?! but let him go, he needs the attention! he's outrageous! of course he's outrageous. myjob was to beat him, and stop all that. so ijust let him go. just let him go, he's not going to change. i'm not going to change bobby riggs. let him be. i got this beautiful lollipop for billie jean, i figure she's going to be a sucker for my lob! the film simply tells the story of the match. billiejean's victory and all the off—camera personal drama. but there was in real life a fascinating, final scene. i stayed in touch with him and the night before he died i had a great discussion with him and he finally understood it was about history because i kept saying, bobby, it's about history. he kept saying no, it's about money. that night he said, we did make a difference, didn't we? i said, yes. you did make a difference. and i really am so happy

that we stayed in touch and you are my friend and i love you. he told me he loved me. and the next day he passed away. thinking of where we started the programme with harvey weinstein, you would have two are serena williams whether people like her have the power in sport and whether there is more sporting power than film. i suppose it is less subjective. either you win or lose. you don't have someone else out there above you saying you should be like this or that or do this or that to get there. i am sure there are lots of people who would disagree with that asa people who would disagree with that as a sport is also full of elite equality but it also more clear—cut. we will also be talking to the leading historian and author and on tomorrow's show i'll be talking to the leading historian and author simon schama about trump, populism and the west's identity crisis. get in touch with us

using the hashtag, #bbc100days. we only want our neighbours to be people who look like us, pray like us people who look like us, pray like us and that has become not only respectable buzzard molest forced in public ticks. i think that is deeply un—american. for now — from jane o'brien in washington and me, christian fraser, in london — goodbye. the rain has been problematic and cause disruption across cumbria today where we have had the highest rainfall totals, over 200 millimetres since the event started yesterday evening. that is quite exceptional amounts of rain. as you can see it was very cloudy, very poor visibility, lots of hill fog. although the main bulk of rain is clearing, and we are coming into them clearer weather behind, there are them clearer weather behind, there a re lots of them clearer weather behind, there are lots of showers coming in as well, that lumpy cloud denoting fairly intense downpours. but we did

will be some rain in the north—west of england. tomorrow looks a little drier. warm aircoming of england. tomorrow looks a little drier. warm air coming in. the temperatures are up even with the rain further north. that is because we are pulling in some much warmer air. that will continue into the weekend, may well continue into the beginning of next week but with other problems, potentially some stormy weather heading our way. for the weekend, high—pressure close by with this week weather fronts straddling the uk. to the north and south of that sum try and find and warm weather as well. that is the question, how much sunshine we will see. it is very similar outlook for sunday. the southerly wind continues but there will be more rain for the north of the country by then. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm... theresa may says she's preparing to spend money in case of a no deal brexit — just after the chancellor says the opposite. every pound we spend on contingent
