you're watching beyond 100 days. president trump creates a firestorm by retweeting videos from afar right british group. the inflammatory images are anti—muslim — downing street says he shouldn't have done it. far right groups in both the uk and the us bank the president for the retweets. britain first says it is pleased with the publicity. the tweets drews condemnation in parliament, but at the white house they are defending the president's decision. look, again whether it is a real video. the threat is real, and that is what the president is talking about. and another one is gone. one of the biggest stars in us television has been fired after allegations of sexual misconduct. also on the programme. i am rejecting the court's ruling. stop please. please sit down. a dramatic turn at an appeal hearing in the hague, when a war criminal poisons himself inside the court and then dies in hospital. the cost of divorce.

the uk will pay double what it offered the eu just two months ago in the hope it will pave the way to trade talks. get in touch with us using the hashtag #beyond100days. hello, i am katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london and donald trump is causing outrage on both sides of the atlantic. we don't know why the president of america chose to retweet incendiary, unverified, anti—muslim videos posted by the convicted leader of a far—right british group — but we do know that doing so has incensed america's closest ally. the videos are from the account of the british fascist jayda fransen, the deputy leader of the group, britain first. she was convicted last year of a hate crime on a muslim woman. currently, she is on bailfacing four charges of religiously aggravated harassment. membership that often endades

to raise its profile. early this morning, it received a huge propaganda gift from donald trump, the america first president. on his twitter feed, he retweeting three inflammatory videos from the group's deputy leader, the first claiming to show a muslim migrant packing a man on crutches. this is the fransen in action. earlier this month, she was charged with using threatening behaviour during speeches she made above us. for her, these presidential retreats are manna from heaven. god bless you, trump, she tweeted. god bless america. there has been a despairing response from the family of the murdered mpjo cox, who was killed by a right—wing extremist who shouted "britain first". britain first is hate

against muslims and donald trump is the president of our nearest ally, and the fact that he didn't check first or didn't even think about the content of those tweets before doing it, i think suggests that his judgment is hugely lacking. downing street has said it was wrong for the president to have done this, but added that his invitation to make a state visit to better next year still stands. as for the white house, it is unapologetic. the threat is real. the threat needs to be addressed. the threat has to be talked about, and that is what the president is doing in bringing that up. previous us administrations have liked to think of themselves as beacons of democratic values, but that has not been a high priority for the trump white house. many people around the world will be saddened and sickened to see the president of the united states appearing to validate tweets from a far right group. ten months into this unorthodox and provocative presidency,

donald trump still has the capacity to shock. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. let's get reaction from westminster — nadhim zahawi is a conservative member of the common foreign affairs select committee and joins us now from westminster. given that the president now knows where these tweets have come from and has seen the reaction in the uk should he delete them and apologise? i hope that he will delete them. i've written to him tonight to explain to him why he tweeting this far right fascist failed group in the uk is completely wrong. we spend many resources both at the foreign office and in the state department and other parts of government in the us and the uk trying to combat the

ideology, this criminal ideology of daesh and other groups who actually dehumanise our society to try and get young men who were influenced by these images that they put out then blow themselves up. for us to engage in retweeting that dehumanise the muslim community in great britain is simply playing into their hands. the only people happy tonight other fascists and the terrorists that we are spending notjust fascists and the terrorists that we are spending not just financial resources but human lives are going into defeating them, and we are doing a good job in countries like iraq and syria and elsewhere, but you only really defeat them when you defeat the ideology in such —— and by playing into their hands on such a naive way is wrong and u nfortu nate. a naive way is wrong and unfortunate. in my letter i say to the president but he takes his presidency seriously and i hope on

his visit to the uk he willjoin me in coventry and birmingham and other parts of our country, london, manchester and edinburgh and glasgow, to see how the muslim community is so integrated, and how oui’ community is so integrated, and how our country is so diverse and as he would put it so beautiful!” understand that you think the visit should go ahead but how much damage do retweets like this do to the us— uk relationship, particularly over issues like counterterrorism?” guarantee that all the great men and women who work in counterterrorism in the uk across europe, in the united states, would be heartbroken to night. the amount of effort they put into this, i know this because in my role on foreign affairs committee i get to visit those countries where we are combating daesh and other terrorist groups.

they will be heartbroken tonight because much of their work will be undone by the sort of freak —— retweeting. it plays into their narratives, the narratives of the terrorists. they say this is what these societies think of you, that is why you should go out and attack them back. you are playing directly into their narrative. thank you. and with us here in washington is our political analyst ron christie who served as an advisor to president george w bush. you were listening with me to nadhim zahawi you were listening with me to nadhim za hawi speaking, you were listening with me to nadhim zahawi speaking, do you think any of that goes through donald trump's mind when he decides to press retweet a nd mind when he decides to press retweet and videos like this? no. what really worries me is where is the president getting this information? is he looking at youtube and far right—wing groups in the uk and saying, i really like this? or is it someone like steve bannon feeding it to him? this is

very destructive. it is destructive to the way america is perceived around the world and frankly destructive to the way the president conducts himself in office. i'm stunned and angered by these retweets. this is so far beneath the dignity of the office that he holds. the thing that worries me is he and his supporters love this. everybody knows the president now acts to play to his base, he's done it again. explain to us the processes that we re explain to us the processes that were in place in the george w bush administration. that would have prevented this kind of thing from happening. we all remember the speech the president gave after 911 at the grand mosque in washington, why aren't those things in place in washington today? why isn't there someone washington today? why isn't there someone who has the power to go and say this is counter—productive? someone who has the power to go and say this is counter-productive? the current white house chief of staff is there to manage the staff and not manage the president. with us, the

staff managed the president. any piece of paper that went to the president's descant piece of paper that went to the president's desca nt been piece of paper that went to the president's descant been reviewed by senior staff, any statement, any speech, anything he would otter would have had review. i spent so much of my time doing paperwork. i can tell you with 100% certainty there is no staff control over him and twitter, and i think it's dangerous to the office he holds. i'm sure you're aware there has been a furious reaction across the political do abide in the uk today. what those people might say is where is the furious reaction in the republican party in the united states ? republican party in the united states? when are they going to rein him in? that is an excellent question. as an establishment republican i can say this is repugnant and where is the outrage? at this juncture it shows you how far the president's political

standing is on capitol hill. they are having their own discussions and negotiations about trying to move tax reform legislation. frankly there has been a lot of ignoring of there has been a lot of ignoring of the president and his antics as they tried to figure out what can we pass, what can we do to make sure we get re—elected in the next election cycle. it doesn't surprise me sadly that they aren't talking about this, because they are in their own self—preservation mode. because they are in their own self-preservation mode. you've got king abdullah ofjordan in washington today. this is a time when he needs a muslim coalition in the middle east. he spent a lot of time on that, meeting the crown prince in riyadh. and yet he doesn't seem prince in riyadh. and yet he doesn't seem to see the conflict of interest that he's sending out this sort of stuff and at the same time saying we are one of your closest allies? this is an excellent follow one question. if the george w bush white house protocol we had in place, we had a

scripted response of how is the president going to interact with the king ofjordan. now we are talking about a tweet that has offended leaders and nations around the world. the president needs to maintaina world. the president needs to maintain a sense of decorum so he doesn't step over his own message. we are talking about bigotry, fascism and tweets, not one of our strongest allies who is here to show off our relationship in washington, dc today. thank you. ron is normally a mild mannered kind of guy when he comes on 100 days but i could feel it sitting here next to him in the studio, the level of anger he is feeling. it's not just about the dignity it's notjust about the dignity of the presidential office, it's about damage done to the us uk relationship and about damage done to america's standing once again around the world under this president. i'm going to call it race

baiting and it's not the first time he's done it. we've talked about on monday his use of the term "pocahontas" when he's standing next to navajo veterans. on wednesday he has revised the claims around obama's birth certificate. and now this. he vowed that he would be a president to everyone in the united states and its hard to square that with the events this week. he has offended every minority and ethnic group going. it's difficult to see who else there is left to a friend. this issue of muslims is important and it's important that ron raised steve bannon because he has been a propagator of this message. during the campaign it was president trump who said muslims hated the west and hated americans and i think this comes from that place as well. a former bosnian croat general has died at a un tribunal in the hague after drinking a phial of poison.

slobodan praljak had just been told his appeal against a 20 year sentence for war crimes had been rejected. as the verdict was being read out the 72—year old general raised a small brown bottle to his lips and drank it in full view of the cameras. anna holligan reports from the hague. this was supposed to be a routine hearing, but as his final judgment was being read out, slobodan praljak swallowed something. slobodan praljak is not a war criminal. i am rejecting the court ruling. i have taken poison. this courtroom is now a crime scene. don't take away the glass he used when he drank something. proceedings were immediately halted. we suspend. please, the curtains. cameras captured a few moments of confusion before the live broadcast was cut. slobodan praljak was a commander of the bosnian croat forces, guilty of destroying mostar‘s iconic

ottoman—era bridge and persecuting muslims. outside the court, the ambulances arrived. fire crews wearing oxygen tanks on their backs ran inside. this was not the ending the court had envisaged. this un tribunal was set up before the end of the war, and has surpassed expectations by dealing with every one of the 161 suspects. but the fact that one of them was able to smuggle in a deadly poison and take it in front of the live cameras will leave an indelible mark on this court's legacy. while it has faced allegations of bias from politicians on all sides, many of the victims believe this institution has given them some form ofjustice. now the question is, how could an institution with such tight security and impressive record allow such a fatal lapse? anna holligan, bbc news, the hague.

that is the weirdest story. let's look at brexit. the british government has significantly increased the amount of money it's prepared to offer the european union as part of the brexit process. the bbc understands the uk has agreed to pay between a0 and 50 billion euros over several years in an attempt to kick—start the negotiations on a future trade deal. it is a lot more than the 20 billion euros theresa may was offering. the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier said today the negotiation is not yet over — more work is needed before trade talks can begin — but the reaction in brussels has been broadly positive. let's catch up with our political correspondent vicki young who is in westminster and our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas who is in brussels. positive noises on the cash but i'm

reading comments that have dropped in the last few minutes from the irish european commission member phil hogan who says we need written commitments from the uk and what they intend to do to resolve the issue that the border. yes. this is two of the three big issues that are under discussion at the minute. these are all the issues that relate to the uk's withdrawal and exit from the eu. they have to be settled at this stage. on the money, the uk has come forward with this big offer. the eu side still saying this is still under negotiation, they are waiting for theresa may to come here oi'i waiting for theresa may to come here on monday when she will have a meeting with the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker. they need all of this detailed very carefully if they are to sign off on that side of things and say there has been sufficient progress. equally, the irish issue isa progress. equally, the irish issue is a really difficult one. they're

the eu's position and the irish position is that what the uk is playing at the minute is unworkable. that is that the uk wants to leave all of the eu structures, its internal market, customs union, and have no border controls on the frontier between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. the irish and the eu saying that is an walkable, how are they going to resolve this, they are waiting for answers from the uk —— that is unworkable. the fact brussels is happy with this amount of money that seems to have been offered from westminster, presumably that will make brexiteers unhappy, how are they going to spin this one because it's so much more than what was mooted in september? presentation will come into it but probably not yet. it's important to say that britain hasn't signed the cheque.

this is a long—term promise, if you like. the reaction from the so—called brexiteers today has been split. there have been a few he's got up in the house of commons and said this is outrageous, we have could it be back to capitulate and legally we don't have to pay a single penny. others say it should be tied to whatever trade deal we get, it should be tied to a free—trade deal. then there are others on the remains i to say everyone has been conned by people like borisjohnson who everyone has been conned by people like boris johnson who went around britain ina like boris johnson who went around britain in a bus saying you will get £350 million back once we leave the european union. then there are the pragmatists and they are on all sides, they are the majority house of commons who felt this would have to happen. but we have commitments, they are ongoing commitments, this is needed to be done in order to move to the next stage and the long—term they feel if we leave the european union we are paying a net

amount of around £85 billion a year and in the longer term it could save us money. and in the longer term it could save us money. critical meeting on monday between theresa may and jean—claude juncker. we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that in a couple of weeks' time in the european council meeting there are 27 countries who will have their own say on this. yes, and that's a crucial point, because it's pa rt of that's a crucial point, because it's part of the reason why the eu is saying this is not all settled yet. first we have to get over the hurdle of next week when the deadline is there for the uk to have done enough to satisfy the eu's negotiators. what those negotiators then say if they are happy we'll go to the 27 other countries in the eu in the middle of december, at their big summit when they will be here. they will be the ones who will sign off and say yes, they are happy with what the uk is now proposing, or know they are not. if they say nope

we have a serious problem. if they say yes they are happy it will then be the green light to move things forward to discussing the future ties between the uk and the eu. but still, the indications are there are still, the indications are there are still some difficult issues. the money isn't totally settled yet. the issue of ireland isn't and neither issue of ireland isn't and neither is the issue of how to deal with citizens left on the two sides, and what sort of courts will guarantee their rights in the future. thank you. the white house says america will impose more sanctions on north korea following yesterday's missile test. president trump also spoke to the chinese leader after the test and asked beijing to do everything possible to press north korea. but it's still not clear how effective any of this will be. the president's assurances north korea will be dealt with, belies the reality of the situation. there are no good options. the last test was mid september. and there had been some optimism in washington that mr trump's tough talk was given pyongyang pause for thought. optimism seemingly misplaced. this missle flew higher and longer

than any missile fired before. bruce klingner, was the cia's deputy division chief for korea and is now at the heritage foundation. you have told us before that you think north korea is in the endgame towards creating a nuclear missile, towards creating a nuclear missile, to being able to have the capacity to being able to have the capacity to send it long distances. when donald trump says he can handle the situation it will be handled, what does he actually mean? there's a lot of uncertainty. earlier this year the trump administration had several comments that suggested it was considering a military attack, even if we didn't feel north korea was about to attack. that kind of talk has been toned down in recent months. rex tillerson's response seemed to focus more on pressure and diplomacy rather than a military strike. the additional sanctions

could be taking the gloves off and secondary sanctions against chinese violators of us law, or it could be preventing the executive order of the month ago where it would be giving businesses the choice to either do business with north korea or use the us financial system. what did you learn from this latest test that you might not have known before, in terms of north korea's progress in being able to create the missile and have it delivered a long—distance? missile and have it delivered a long-distance? there have been a lots of downplaying of north korean capabilities and people are surprised when they do exactly what they say they are going to do. but yesterday's launch showed was that it isa yesterday's launch showed was that it is a new icbm. whereas before the other to the estimated range was half of the continental united states perhaps including new york and washington, yesterday's launch

had been flown on a normal trajectory would encompass the entire continental us.” trajectory would encompass the entire continental us. i had to check the stats to make sure someone had hadn't got it wrong. it went 2800 miles into the air, ten times above the height of the international space station. exactly. what north korea has done with a three icbm launches is flown them to an unusually high trajectory so as not to fly overjapan. with their intermediate—range missiles they've recently flown twice over japan and many of us had expected the next icbm test would be a long—range distance test into the pacific which would require flying overjapan pacific which would require flying over japan but also pacific which would require flying overjapan but also enable them to demonstrate their range capability more blatantly as well as to show a re—entry vehicle capability. i still think they will do that test but it

will perhaps be the next one. lets be realistic, sanctions aren't going to stop this regime. we have been saying we will have to do something about it. we now entering the critical window? we should point out that if the metric is that north korea hasn't abandoned its nuclear weapons, of course diplomacy has a 25 year record of failure and eight international agreements that north korea hasn't abided by. sanctions serve a number of purposes beyond getting them to abide by un resolutions and their commitments. they are enforcing un resolutions and us and international law. they are imposing a penalty or pain and those that violate them. it also puts in place measures to make it harderfor north korea puts in place measures to make it harder for north korea to puts in place measures to make it harderfor north korea to import items including money from illicit activities and it puts in place harder proliferation or counter proliferation measures. i would argue on four of the five it's been

successful. thank you. it's interesting, listening to bruce, he clearly said there are no good options. but doing anything other than what we are doing at the moment but abe retaliatory strike, that's not an option either. we had to carry on with the sanctions and hope that something comes on the table. the president has been more restrained than he normally is on this case. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — claims of sexual misconduct against one of the biggest names in american television. and the view from gibraltar, we speak to the territory's chief minister about what sort of future he'd like for the rock in a post—brexit britain. that's still to come. it's going to be a cold night

tonight with frost more widely. a lot of cloud we had across crossing land areas and towards the west will melt away. we'll have clear skies. we are likely to keep some cloud in eastern areas of the uk where we had some showers today. we've also got some showers today. we've also got some strong winds for eastern scotland, eastern coastal areas of england, where we will see showers continuing overnight. more showers from northern ireland clipping west wales and the far south—west of england. there is a risk of icy patches overnight. lowest temperatures inland with those clearer skies, widespread frost. the tickly cold in the countryside. —— particularly cold in the countryside. away from northern scotland, the rest of scotland bright and sunny. wintry showers and rain showers across northern ireland. coldest air down the eastern coastal areas with a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow. back

into some showersjust of rain, hail, sleet and snow. back into some showers just running into pembrokeshire and towards cornwall. those showers in the west will continue on and off all day. those strong winds will continue to blow some showers down eastern coastal areas of scotland and england. some of them will be wintry. a large parts of the uk tomorrow will be dry and quite sunny as well. but it will bea and quite sunny as well. but it will be a cold day. temperature is no better than 3—4. towards the end of the week and the first day of december, we will see some cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. much brighter with sunshine the england and wales. showers down eastern side of england. there will bea eastern side of england. there will be a cold wind. for most, the wind becoming lighter. those temperatures struggling up to 4—6. bing is changing as we head into the weekend. high—pressure shrinking towards the west. allowing these wea k towards the west. allowing these weak weather fronts to topple in around the top of that, coming in

from the atlantic. the really cold airgets from the atlantic. the really cold air gets squeezed away to the near continent. instead we get more of a westerly wind. that will tend to lift the temperature is drawing in milder air. it comes with a good deal of cloud. by the second half of the weekend a little more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland and temperatures could be in double figures. this is beyond 100 days, with me, katty kay, in washington. christian fraser's in london. our top stories: the uk prime minister says president trump was wrong to retweet three anti—muslim videos posted by a far—right british group. a bosnian croat war criminal dies after drinking poison during the final hearing of the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. coming up in the next half hour: will automation make your job obsolete? the workforce is in for some big changes and we assess the impact. and the chief minister of gibraltar tells us he's not ready to trust anyone when it comes

to finalising a deal on their post—brexit border with spain. in the very cynical eye on what madrid is doing and, indeed, what london is doing and that is what the people of gibraltar pay me let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days. another big tv star in america has been fired for sexual misconduct. matt lauer, morning anchorfor nbc news, is arguably the biggest, highest paid name so far to succumb to the wave of allegations. lauer‘s termination came after a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behaviour. and nbc thinks it wasn't an isolated incident. it comes just a week after cbs news fired its morning anchor, charlie rose for similar reasons. together these two sackings mark a sea change in the industry. mr lauer‘s co—host savannah guthrie

broke the news on the today show this morning. for the moment, all we can say is that we are heartbroken. i am heartbroken for matt, here's my dear, dearfriend heartbroken for matt, here's my dear, dear friend and heartbroken for matt, here's my dear, dearfriend and my partner and he is beloved by many, many people here. and i am heartbroken for the brave colleague that came forward to tell her story and any other woman who have their own stories to tell and we are grappling with a dilemma that so many people have faced these past few weeks, how can you reconcile your love for someone with the revolution that they have behaved badly. and i don't know the answer to that, but i do know the answer to that, but i do know that this recognition that some many organisations have gone through is important, it's long overdue and

it must result in workplaces were all women, all people, few safe and respected. and for more we're joined by paul farhi who reports on the media for the washington post. will we see that the change now? —— —— the sea change now. they just keep following theyjust keep following like dominoes. it sends a strong message to people that the workplace has changed. this conduct is intolerable and companies will not put up with it any longer. is it something particular about american television organisations and stars, the smell star is at the top, that allows this kind of culture to fester or has allowed it? yes, i think so. people in the television business become very powerful. it's a kind of business in which there are many, many people who would like to be in it and very

few jobs who would like to be in it and very fewjobs within who would like to be in it and very few jobs within it. who would like to be in it and very fewjobs within it. that magnifies the power of the people who run the business. we saw this last year with fox news and the editing of roger ailes as a hassle, bill o'reilly, and some of the stars of that. but it turns out that that was just endemic, part of the endemic weave that we are seen throughout the business. i also say it is notjust television. it is politics, in government and in hollywood. these three industries are very attractive to people and, again, the people who run these businesses having a lot of power over the people who want to be in these businesses. it's also about money, isn't it? it was interesting that money that rumours were doing the rounds earlier this week and nbc has tried to get ahead of the car. that is right. we were stealing about matt lauer last night. we tried to check it but couldn't get anywhere. they pre—empted whatever reporting was going on and we had

some was. they announced it themselves. what's interesting here is that most of these studies have been broken by news organisations outside, from the outside. this is one of the rear instances where the story was broken from the inside. nbc news and the today show were the first to report on themselves. the anchors are being the ones that are fired. they are the ones who have committed these infringements on other women, but the organisations have protected these anchors for a long time and we haven't heard stories of managers at the spec networks also been called to account. should they be? will they be? your premise is a little bit suspect. we haven't seen women come forward to accuse some of these anchors up until now and i do believe that result of the hardy wednesday in effect. this wave that has come about. —— harvey weinstein.

it's certainly true in the case of fox news that the guy who ran the company had known the report about himself and could probably get away with his own harassing behaviour. what is new is that women feel emboldened to come forward and complain about the treatment that they have had to suffer for so many yea rs. they have had to suffer for so many years. thank you very much. you have written a piece for bbc online about why this is happening in america, why there are more allegations within the media industry in the united states. why do you think that there is? i did not write the piece, but i was reading it this morning. it is to do with uk libel was, which are much stricter and so these allegations are not in to come forward as much in the uk. the onus is on proof from the accusers aside and that is very

often hard the accusers aside and that is very often ha rd to the accusers aside and that is very often hard to get. i honestly can't believe it's because this is not happening in britain. this is not a uniquely britain —— american phenomenon. it's true that american anchors are paid much more, i think matt lauer was being paid $25 million. it does foster a culture where these people are treated on an elevated platform and have a huge amount of power. i don't think in which a kid themselves that is not happening in other countries as well. the bbc presenters who have been convicted for these sorts of claims, so there we go. the british prime minister theresa may is in the middle east, making herfirst to iraq where she met with her counterpart haider al—abadi. mrs may praised the country's efforts in the battle against the so—called islamic state. as well as praising local security forces and pledging uk support, she also reiterated british support for a united iraq, two months after a bitterly—contested referendum in kurdistan. mrs may is now in saudi arabia.

will ourjobs soon be taken by robots? and if they are, what happens to the millions of people thrown out of work? those are the big questions behind a major new report by the mckinsey global institute. it finds that as many as 800 million workers could be replaced by machines by 2030, including a third of the work force in the us and germany. anything that is repetitive is at risk, things like administrative work, preparing fast food or operating machinery. on the other hand, yourjob is probably safe if it involves managing people or applying a particular expertise. so where does that leave everyone else in between. —— so where does that leave everyone else in between? joining us from san francisco to explain more is james manyika. he's a senior partner at mckinsey. thank you forjoining us. 800 million people could be out of work by2030, million people could be out of work by 2030, what does that do to our societies? thank you for having me.

i think the thing to keep in mind is that we have heard job losses due to technology for a very long time in different sectors, agriculture, manufacturing and so forth. in addition to dojobs manufacturing and so forth. in addition to do jobs that could be lost, we a re addition to do jobs that could be lost, we are also going to create jobs that will grow. i think the balance of it is that in fact we will come out ok. at least that's what the scenarios suggest. but not everybody will come out ok, right? well, we will come out ok in the sense that we are going to have enough work for everybody. the big question is how we handle the transitions between the occupations that will decline and for that will go. those transitions, in mind, the biggest question, because that is on to require changing occupations, learning new skills and transitioning to new sectors and new activities. that is the big question, but we take comfort from the fact that there will be enough work for everybody. it will be in

the longer term. in the short term, this transition you speak of, is it ato this transition you speak of, is it a to this rise in populism that we have seen in political terms on both sides of the atlantic?” have seen in political terms on both sides of the atlantic? i think the rise in populism is interesting. in our minds, that has largely been in an economic sense, driven to the stagnation we have seen an wages cut across advanced economies. it is striking when you look at what will happen on that front in the last decade in most advanced economies, especially the united states, the uk, france and a few others, where m, uk, france and a few others, where in, stagnated for a huge proportion of our working households. i'm fascinated by this. i remember in the french election, the socialist candidate propose a policy of taxing robots so that every robot that was manufactured with pay for the loss

ofjobs. he was laughed out of court for that, but maybe that's the solution? i think it's an interesting example you give but there's something substantive behind it. if you take into account the income of most advanced economies, the share of the national income that goes to wages has been declining at the expense of capital, so if we are going to have economic output come from a combination of work done by people and capital investment in equipment and technology and so forth, to an interesting question to ask, how do we reflect that in economic systems? not sure taxing robots, but it does raise an important question.“ there will be a robot sitting in the seatin there will be a robot sitting in the seat in a few years' time, maybe i can go to the beach early. will we be structured way that we all work? in many ways, we have done that already. if you look at the history of the last 100 years. we are

working fewer hours on aggregate. really? yes. for a few individuals like yourself, the hours worked have actually gone up, but if you look at the entire workforce, we are working fewer hours. one of the key questions here, another has been a lot of anxiety about whether they will be enough work, we think there will be enough work, we think there will be. the question of transition is important. the reason these transitions are important is because companies as well as governments have paid a lot less attention to on—the—job training for workers. if you look at the trends in the last 20 or 30 years, much we spend as government or companies has actually been going down at a time when we will need on—the—job training to with those transitions and that is one of the key, important things we tried to emphasise. thank you for joining us. ifi

if i get this right, you would like to earn $19 million a year, it was linking yesterday but today it has gone up to 25 million, but you would also like to go to the beach more? more than i do at the moment. how does thejob more than i do at the moment. how does the job description run? it does not. i could do with a few more robots in this studio, to help us out. the interesting thing about this, i was just the interesting thing about this, i wasjust thinking the interesting thing about this, i was just thinking about it, is the advantage has been with the third world countries, because of cheap labour, but now, perhaps, it tilts back to the first world countries because they spend more on research and development. they can harness the talent in first world economies, so maybe this will affect developing countries perhaps more than the first world countries. that is the discussion that people are having here because there is a link in the populism we have seen and this is that robots wanted the people's jobs and this is creating a certain amount of fear but actually

the focus has been on the united states and donald trump, but if you are an “— states and donald trump, but if you are an —— a developing country whose advantages due have a cheap labour force and then that labour force gets replaced by robots can you watch your most important advantage. what will you do with all those people out of work in those countries? interesting subject. a german court has ruled that a former ss guard at the auschwitz concentration camp must serve a prison sentence despite his age. oskar groening is now 96. he became known as the book keeper of auschwitz because he counted money taken from jewish prisoners as they arrived at the death camp he's been sentenced to four years. flights have resumed from the international airport in bali after three days of disruption caused by an eruption of mount agung. up to 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the area close to the volcano and thousands of tourists have been stranded. a saudi prince has been freed in a billion dollar deal this is beyond 100 days.

still to come, presidential prose and policy — here in the uk, a man who a judge ruled had probably sexually assaulted his baby daughter before she died has been giving evidence at an inquest into her death. 13—month—old poppi worthington died after sustaining unexplained injuries at her home in 2012. a police investigation into her death was botched and the verdict at the first inquest quashed by the high court. today poppi's father, paul worthington, who has always denied wrongdoing, refused to answer questions 69 times at today's second inquest. our correspondent danny savage was there. poppi worthington's life was tragically short. the saga surrounding her unexplained death is very long. 13—month—old poppi died nearly five years ago. she'd been rushed to hospital in barrow after being found unconscious at home early one morning. many months later, a family court judge found that poppi's father

had probably sexually assaulted her shortly before her death. today, he was bundled through the back door of the coroner's court under police guard. paul worthington denies any wrongdoing and has never been charged, but he's been called as a witness at the inquest into his daughter's death. screened from the public but not the press, he agreed that poppi was as fit as a fiddle and would wake up just before 6am. but when asked about events closer to the day that poppi died, he kept replying, "i refer to my previous statements. i rely on the right not to answer under rule 22." that rule states no witness at an inquest is obliged to answer any question which might incriminate them. last year, cumbria police was heavily criticised for its handling of the investigation into poppi's death. that report detailed a catalogue of mistakes made by detectives, saying that crucial evidence was thrown away, witnesses weren't you're watching

beyond one hundred days. gibraltar and its future once britain leaves the european union is likely to be another point of tension in the brexit negotiations. the rock is a british overseas territory located at the southern tip of spain, overlooking the narrow gap between europe and africa. and of huge strategic importance, historically, because it gives the royal navy control of shipping in and out of the mediterranean. 80,000 people cross the spanish—gibraltar border every week. the economy is hugely dependant on the ability to travel back and forward. gibraltarians have always voted overwhelmingly to remain british but in the brexit referendum they also voted overwhelmingly to remain in the european union. so are they suddenly thinking that dual citizenship might be a better way to go?

a question i put to gibraltar‘s chief minister fabian picardo. just because we don't have the same view as to our future membership of the european union with the united kingdom doesn't mean we change our minds about that which is an —— which is most dear to us, our identity and our sovereignty and membership of the british island of nations. you don't believe you might be an afterthought or forgotten in this initial part of the negotiation?” don't think we are an afterthought. spain has put gibraltar at the centre. one of the things that is important

to understand is that we do not have a common travel agent —— area with spain or the european union and gibraltar as the united kingdom have had. this is since before the european union was in paris. the issueis european union was in paris. the issue is that the right to movement in gibraltarand spain issue is that the right to movement in gibraltar and spain are entirely different to the issues today in northern ireland. we have a frontier for goods and we have a frontier for immigration purposes, between gibraltar and the rest of the european union and that is now, whilst we are members of the european union... but that is forward. it is very forward. it the issueis forward. it is very forward. it the issue is one of goodwill and understanding, not so much an issue of the laws or whether one inside the area. and efforts being made that border —— border much harder to cross ? that border —— border much harder to cross? it would have to explain themselves to the citizens who would be made to wait to access their places of work and to return to

their homes in the evenings. i don't think in modern politics one wants to be the politician explaining to a citizen why you are putting up a barrier which is unnecessary for security or other reasons and simply creating a hand and the movement. you seem trusting. . put it this way. if that were not to

be the case it would be the first time in the history of anglo spanish relations. i am an eternal optimist andi relations. i am an eternal optimist and i hope every gibraltarian will be proved wrong and spain will not try and use this moment to try and advance its sovereignty claim. if they do gibraltar knows its future is with the uk and our future prosperity is in continuing the single market between gibraltar and the uk. the british government is committed to maintaining and enhancing our access to that market. we will do very well indeed in the future both in the context of that relationship with the uk and in the context of the relationship the uk will have with other trading nations around the world. i have assurances that they will not do the deal was

the european union fsb —— spend the rest to exclude gibraltar from it. you very much indeed. a look ahead to tomorrow's show. the irish border in a post—brexit britain. we report from either side of the frontier as part of a special day of coverage on the bbc. get in touch with us using the hashtag, #beyond100days. now here in washington, dc, speech writers are never at a loss for work but only a few make it to the white house. david litt is part of that elite club and for nearly five years he helped write the words for president obama on everything from health care to climate change. his specialty though was comedy and if you think writing about policy is hard, just try getting laughs out of both democrats and republicans. mr litt is now out with a new memoir and we caught up with him to discuss his experience.

i remember the first day i watched through the states —— negates the white house, thinking, wait a second, they are actually going to let me in? i was a speech writer for president obama from 2011 to 2016, i and offer —— i am an offer of a new book on the those years. at had done some improv comedy in college, so it was nice to have a niche in 2012, becoming more or less the token in—house funny person for the white house. welcome to the white house correspondents dinner, the night when washington celebrate itself. when these joke speeches came up, i got to punch above my weight class a little bit and take responsibility ofa little bit and take responsibility of a speech that otherwise might not have gotte n of a speech that otherwise might not have gotten if it was more serious. my name is barack obama, my mother was born in kansas, my father was born in kenya and i was born, of

course, in hawaii. i can remember with each of those jokes what i was feeling when the president read them. you live or die in that moment. if you like to joke that he would add a little something, a to waive or ad—lib outline, make it his own. i know republicans are still sorting out what happened in 2012, but one thing the likely on is the need to do a betterjob reaching out to minorities. and, like, can be self—centred to minorities. and, like, can be self—ce ntred but to minorities. and, like, can be self—centred but i can think of one minority they could start with. hello? in the obama administration, schumer was a chance for us to tell a little bit of truth about washington that we wouldn't have gotten the tail otherwise. the most important thing that a politician can do when they telljokes is to be self—deprecating. especially in a

democracy, to recognise that they are extraordinarily powerful, but they are human beings, they make m ista kes they are human beings, they make mistakes and they have faults. some people still say i am arrogant and aloof, condescending. some people are so dumb. no wonder i don't read with them. you would sure this thing that started as a thought in your head become the president's words and that was just a magical transformation. it still boggles my mind reading —— writing about it. i need a set —— i need a scriptwriter. it's worth remembering that in 2011 as one of those correspondence dinners, barack obama made fun of donald trump and everybody thinks that it donald trump and everybody thinks thatitis donald trump and everybody thinks that it is when he made fun of donald trump that he decided he would run for the presidency and

when. she had the last laugh. so be careful who you joke about when you are president of the united states, because you could change the world. coming up next on bbc world news, ros atkins is here with outside source and for viewers in the uk, we'll have the latest headlines from julian worricker. for now from katty kay in washington and me, christian fraser, in london, goodbye. the the beer cold night tonight, frost more widely. a lot of cloud we had an inland areas will tend to melt away. we will have clearer skies. we are likely to keep some clouds down in eastern areas of the uk, where we had some showers are in today. strong winds raced in scotland, eastern coastal areas of england, we will some developing overnight. and anyway you catch a shower —— anywhere you catch a sure
