you're watching beyond one hundred days america celebrates the birth of martin luther king as donald trump is asked "are you a racist?" the president denies the charge and says he is the least racist person ever to be interviewed. but donald trump's slur against african nations is already stoking political divisions in the country and concern around the world. when clicking yes instead of no sends a nation to high alert — it was human error that terrified hawaii this weekend. also on the programme... we will be live in bangladesh — in the refugee camp where the rohingya muslims are now threatened by disease. thousands ofjobs are at stake as the global construction giant carillion collapses. get in touch with us using the hashtag... hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. today americans celebrate the birth of martin luther king in 1929. traditionally the country pauses to remember the triumph of the civil rights movement and the tragedy

of king's assassination. this year the holiday comes as the us president has to answer the question — are you a racist? on friday the president seemed to be revelling in the controversy he had stirred. perhaps it would go down well with his supporters. but in a brief interchange with reporters at mar a lago this weekend, he was denying he had ever used the word, with which we are all now familiar. that was president trump this weekend. to put that in the context of american history, here is martin luther king, writing from an alabama jail in 1963. "let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine

over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty." joining us now is david ignatius from the washington post. let's start with america. we hear those two lea d e rs start with america. we hear those two leaders martin luther king and donald trump. what impact does what he has said how vain america. his comments have reduced the value that the united states have. on our reputation, that intangible trust that people around the world has of united states as having strong values. today, we remember martin luther king a particular embodiment of those values. goodwill is an intangible asset over and above book

value, the hard power of a country. countries are like that with goodwill and our goodwill has been torn down, diminished by president trump in many ways. most strikingly by these comments which clearly offend people in many countries around the world. these are countries that the united states has to do business with, countries in africa, even with haiti, us companies have operations in those countries. it's something that president trump hasn't understood from the day he took office. our security is a matter of interdependence. we are strong because we exercise power with and through other countries and we need that trust and willingness to move and work with the united states. the uk, traditionally our closest ally, ensuring that the president isn't going to visit london, that worries

me. the president is going to davos next week to raise the cause of american companies there. there are those who are nervous about america first and they are not going to like the idea that it is white first. they are not going to like it at all and nor should they. in going to davos, donald trump is doing something that would have surprised many of his supporters. steve bannon characterised davos as the centre of the global elite that donald trump was running against. it's interesting that he is going. i'm sure he will make a popular speech from davos. the question that the world should ask is whether donald trump is going to be an effective steward of american power and alliances and the relationships, really the way the world has been run since 1945. if he is going to walk away from it, the world is going to be unhappy. the concern i

have heard here particularly from african—americans and minority groups is that it doesn't really matter the language that the president used, it's the intention that he has as trying to make america a country where white immigrants are but not black immigrants, or brown immigrants, or yellow immigrants. that is what they are worried he is trying to do. yellow immigrants. that is what they are worried he is trying to dam shouldn't be a question of full charity or a nasty turn, that would be unpleasant and upsetting but —— full charity. four. looking at his interest in the presidency since he suggested that by raka obama was not really a n suggested that by raka obama was not really an american, you go back to his history in real estate, the federal government sued him during the nixon years for discriminatory

practices in real estate. so many insta nces practices in real estate. so many instances over such a long period which should raise the question does donald trump look at lax and minorities in a fair way as required is required under our laws and traditions. it is notjust that one comment. it is a whole chain of events. we want to ask you about north korea and hawaii in a second. today of all days it is striking how much this debate about race in this country has been raised again and what the country is going to be under the president and what kind of country does he wanted to be? that is the concern that african—americans is the concern that african—america ns have. is the concern that african—americans have. it is not the words but the intent of what he said that they worrying. the interesting thing about the denials is it doesn't come down to whether he says the word or not but what he

seems to be saying in this meeting with senators is riding countries that are populated with brown and black people but lauding a country like norway which is predominantly white. they are only denying the word that he used. the actual terminology. i think it's a distinction without validity. is it the country that america has always projected itself as. the pope is worried we are at the very edge of an accidental nuclear war. he made the comments to reporters en route to latin america shortly after a false alarm in hawaii sparked fears of a missile attack. "one accident is enough to precipitate things," the pontiff said. and all because an employee of the hawaii emergency management agency had picked the wrong drop down box on his computer screen. something like this. missile alert — instead of "test missile alert". it's known in the business as a ux error. a failed user experience. "oops!"

said the front page of hawaii's star advertiser. they bring word that the employee with the errant finger has since been reassigned. back to david ignatius. why was there not a fail—safe method within this, checked by more than one employee or warning on the screen and why couldn't they cancel it without having to go to fema first? i hope every other federal agencies looking at those questions. it is not as though this is the first time an accident like this has happened. a former national security adviser was phoned in the middle of a per

night with somebody telling him that the russian missiles had been launched and were on their way, two minutes, as he remembered it to make a decision. within those minutes, somebody said it was a mistake. for me, this is a reminder of why nuclear weapons are so dangerous. nuclear weapons are so dangerous. the argument is made by our former secretaries of defence that we really need to think about getting nuclear missiles radically reduced or eliminated because accidents do happen. exactly what the pope was saying on the plane to latin america to reporters. this could happen by mistake. it's an indication of the level of tension in the country about north korea and the prospect of some kind of attack that people in hawaii were taken so much by this alert and they panicked. hawaii is a target. we are closer to some kind of conflict which would involve the

possibility of a nuclear exchange with north korea than at any time i can remember. i with north korea than at any time i can remember. i was with north korea than at any time i can remember. i was alive in 1962. i will go back to 1962. we have a momentary pause for the winter olympics. north korea has effectively stood down. the united states is delaying literary exercises to make this period work. as soon as the olympics end, all of theissues as soon as the olympics end, all of the issues and dangers of confrontation come right back and i hope the world will take the pause of these next few weeks and do some thinking and i hope the us and north korea will do some talking. david ignatius, thanks very much for coming in. what does the future look like for hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees, living in huge makeshift camps in bangladesh? it's not clear when they will be able to return home. the shocking conditions in the camps are likely to get worse, for more than 800,000

refugees who fled a brutal military operation in rakhine state last year. the bbc‘s mishal husain has been at the kutu—palong refugee camp near the border. four—year—old anwar has just been diagnosed with diphtheria, a respiratory disease that can kill. he was brought in by his mother to this clinic, set up from scratch by the uk emergency medical team. thanks to the treatment he has now been given, he should soon recover. it is for you to feel better. if a patient who has diphtheria coughs or sneezes over another person, and they inhale those droplets, that then can set up the infection in themselves. and in a situation where people are sleeping five or six to a room beside each other, a patient who has diphtheria can spread it to all the people in that cramped space very quickly. this boy, who's11, hasjust arrived at the clinic and is being checked at the triage point. he has got really big enlarged glands and he has got this membrane extended from the tonsil right back

onto the back of the throat. so with everything we've seen, its pretty convincing it's diphtheria. he's taken through onto the ward, where the team wants to start treatment right away. but there is a problem. ok, so i've got this right. so the husband is working away? she is here with the two children, but there are three children also in the camp and they are not with any adults? no. 0k. we are doing it to protect him from getting more ill. through a translator, the doctor tries to explain why staying to be treated is so essential. it's really life—threatening stuff, and in this environment it's really difficult. so hopefully what we'll try and do is calm things down a little bit and just begin to at least explain to the mothers so they understand what treatment is required. but it doesn't work. his mother needs to get back to her other children, and he won't stay at the clinic on his own. you know, it's hard.

we know the treatment he needs but it's very much feeling like the minute he's out of the gate, we've lost him a bit. so, yes. it's not a good feeling. in the end, he did return and was given the anti—diphtheria medication. the work of this clinic doesn't stop with the patients who are treated here for diphtheria. they then try to identify everyone who lives with that patient or has come into contact with them. and each of those people are then treated with a course of antibiotics. that is what happened with the family of little anwar, who is back at the clinic for a checkup. how is he doing? he is one of 11 siblings. his mother tells me he is fine and she is relieved. none of his brothers and sisters fell ill. but living conditions in the camp mean the risk of any infectious disease spreading at any time will always be high. we can now speak to mishal live.

flimsy shelters behind you made from bamboo and bits of plastic. flimsy shelters behind you made from bamboo and bits of plasticm flimsy shelters behind you made from bamboo and bits of plastic. if we had, five months ago before the beginning of this latest exodus all of this land would have been a forest, including live elephants in pa rt forest, including live elephants in part of it. there is an extraordinary transformation. people live in these very basic shelters. the agencies have been handing out bamboo poles and plastic sheeting but these are little more than tents and the big worry is that in the extreme weather that lies ahead in the months to come in bangladesh, high winds, possible cyclones and

the certainty of three months of the monsoon season, the little bit of stability and organisation that this camp, the world's largest refugee camp, the world's largest refugee camp, has could easily be washed away and these living conditions become even more precarious in the future. if they are discussing repatriations, how could it possibly happen given the stories we have been hearing over the last day or so? that is the thing that is really difficult to reconcile. when you compare what you hear in the camps with those talks about repatriations. they have taken place today in the miasma capital. —— my amanar. ten days ago, they were the victims of violence across the border in myanmar. it is important

that the talks take place because when the refugees talk about their government or their country, they do mean myanmar. it is where they belong and what they want more than anything else is for the government of myanmar to recognise them and their identity as rohynga. they say if they are recognised they will go back. it is ha rd to recognised they will go back. it is hard to imagine that these people would be prepared to entertain the possibility of going back at least for the moment. what kind of pressure is this putting on the area? i have seen

reports of cases of diphtheria which was pretty much eradicated. bangladesh is of course an impoverished and developing country and this is far from the capital dakar. people who have lived and used this land, the local bangladeshi people, it has been very difficult for them because all they haveis difficult for them because all they have is sympathy for the rohingya people but there are pressures on water and the use of land and the prices of rice has gone up in the local market. people working here say that the important thing is not only international help for the people in the camps to think about the economy of the region as a whole. what no one wants to address

is that some people could spend the rest of their lives in a camp like this. that entirely changes the economy of the local area. those are some of the long—term pressures that nobody is really quite ready to address but they are looming in the near future. quite extraordinary aerial shots we are seeing. a whole population uprooted. thanks very much forjoining us. it looked like a city. quite extraordinary. a floor at indonesia's main stock exchange has collapsed into the building's lobby injuring more than 70 people. dramatic cctv footage captured the moment of collapse, which sent a group of more than 30 students gathered on the mezzanine crashing into the lobby. no one was killed, but police say 72 people were hurt and are being treated in three different hospitals in jakarta. england cricketer ben stokes has been charged,

along with two other men, with causing a disturbance in a fight outside a nightclub. the incident in september left a man with a fractured eye socket. stokes missed the ashes series after being suspended from playing for england after the incident. prosecutors said further evidence revealed last month led to charges being brought. some amazing pictures to share with you. they show people being forced tojump from a burning boat after it caught fire just off the coast of florida. all 50 people on board were able to get to get safely to shore but over a dozen people were injured. the shuttle was ferrying people to a casino boat in port richey, north of tampa. the lead singer of the cranberries — dolores o'riordan — has died suddenly at the age ofjust 46. built around o'riordan's distinctive voice the cranberries dominated the album charts in the 19905 selling more

than a0 million albums worldwide. the singer had been in london for a recording session when she passed away — no further details are available. name any major infrastructure project in the uk and the chances are the construction company carillion was involved in it: the new high speed rail link, the rollout of broadband, the building and maintenance of prisons, schools and hospitals. now the company has gone into liquidation. the directors who'd paid themselves huge bonuses, over—reached. downing street says taxpayers cannot be expected to bail the company out. and the whole point of having private companies take on public contracts is that they shoulder the risk. but — should carillion have been awarded such big government contracts after three recent profit warnings? simonjack reports. this bypass near aberdeen is scotland's biggest construction project with a price tag of £750 million. here's another one, around

lincoln, cost, 100 million. just two of a50 contracts carillion has been awarded throughout the uk but it did a lot more than. through contracts to manage schools, prisons and hospitals, it touched the lives of millions. today, the government said it would not support the company with public money. this is however the failure of a private sector company it is the company's shareholders and its lenders who will bear the brunt of the losses. taxpayers should not and will not bail out a private sector company for private sector losses. at headquarters in wolverhampton, nervous faces on tight lips. have you got any comments to make? it's a disaster, thousands of subcontractors, labour, suppliers who won't get paid, who are being told people aren't being paid. carillion's fuel cards are not working this morning so staff trying to get to work in carillion vans cannot, the thing is

collapsing around us. carillion is more than the uk's second biggest construction firm. it delivers 32,000 school meals a day. it maintains nhs buildings, containing 11 and a half thousand hospital beds. provide services to prisons and as recently as november was awarded a contract to help build hs2. it was that fact that fronted angry exchanges today in the commons. when did the government first realise carillion was in trouble? after all, they had three separate profit warnings and back in 2015, there were already short selling the stock on the stock exchange. so where did it go wrong? big contracts like this went sour, profits optimistically banked had to be written off, blowing a hole on its finances and with banks are unwilling to lend any more money without government support, its fate was sealed.

carillion with a company that until recently paid big salaries to its bosses and big dividends to shareholders, despite owing its banks and own pension scheme £1.5 billion. the wisdom of awarding public service contracts to a company like that will continue but today the urgent concern is that those thousands of small businesses who rely on the big boys like carillion for their payments so they can pay their own bills. carillion workers are being urged by the government continued to go to work well contracts are rewarded but with tentacles in so many areas of the economy, unravelling this bankruptcy could take many months. simon jack, bbc news. how on earth did it still gets the contract is that it was awarded recently. surely their first

responsibility should be to the taxpayer. they have not bailed out this company they are a backstop for the four this private company. the ceo has walked away. the pension food has a huge black hole. now the taxpayer is taking on all the risk. why is there a failure to claw back some of the huge bonuses? some of the things that they can do have lapsed. there is going to be a lot of criticism for the directors. the third issue is how government procurement works in the future. this was passing it on to smaller and medium—sized companies. why couldn't they go directly to the

government. ok, we want to issue a public safety announcement — don't take drugs and drive. if you do you may end up like this car in california. in these cctv pictures you can see the car speeding across a road, it hits the central reservation then smashes into a dentist's office on the 2nd floor of a building. the driver is being investigated by police for driving under the influence of narcotics. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — we get the latest on british attempts to find out if russia interfered in the eu referendum and general election. and as thousands ofjobs and contracts around the world hang in the balance we'll discuss what went wrong at the construction giant carillion. that's still to come. good evening. a mild monday morning of rain gave way to colder conditions as we went through the

day. turning increasingly wintry for the north and west and behind that front, cold air is starting to dig down. that stays with us for the next couple of days. a change in the weather story. a rash of showers continue through the night. primarily rain across central and southern england but further north as showers will turn increasingly wintry even at lower levels. there will be some snow starting to settle on lower levels and with temperatures close to freezing likely to be some icy stretches around first thing. not only for scotla nd around first thing. not only for scotland and northern ireland but perhaps for north west england as well. for wales and the central england, a wintry mix of sleet and snow. anywhere else further south, it is rain but driven along by the

westerly winds. the southeast might fa re westerly winds. the southeast might fare reasonably well tomorrow but it will still be windy. wintry showers will still be windy. wintry showers will continue. factoring the strength of the biting wind, it is going to feel quite raw out there for much of the day. not much in the way of change as we move into wednesday. the showers more frequent the further north and west you go. again, we will see wintry showers through the day. highs of only three to8 through the day. highs of only three to 8 degrees. feeling colder in the strength of the wind. wednesday night into thursday morning, we'll start to see a bit of a change. low pressure will move in. on the southern flank of that, the winds are southern flank of that, the winds a re really southern flank of that, the winds are really quite strong. on the leading edge for a time in central and southern areas, we could see some snow. it is the wind that could be the real issue first thing on

thursday morning. severe gales are possibility. some snow also possible. this low is moving through quite a pace. so afterwards, quieter but still pretty cold. this is beyond 100 days, with me katty kay in washington. christian fraser's in london. our top stories... nigeria summons the us ambassador to explain obscene remarks allegedly made by president trump about immigrants from african countries. from canada to qatar — one of the world's largest public sector contractors collapses with huge consequences here in the uk — more on that shortly. also coming up in the next half hour... russia's reach — did moscow meddle with britain eu's referendum and general election? we get more on the uk investigation. and torn between president and policy — the small american towns facing tough questions about their communities and the immigrants who call them home. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag,

beyond100days. last week the democrats on the senate foreign relations committee warned of deepening russian interference throughout europe. they issued a report showing elections in countries like britain, france and germany were targeted by moscow—sponsored hacking, internet trolling and social media campaigns. they say 19 countries were affected. as part of the investigation into russian interference in the us election the senate intelligence committee has been calling on big social media companies to explain how their platforms were used. here's colin stretch general counsel for facebook appearing in front of the committee in november of last year. when it comes to the 2016 election, i want to be clear. we take what happened on facebook very seriously. the foreign interference we saw is

reprehensible. that foreign actors hiding behind fake accounts abused our platform and other internet services to try to sow division and discord and to try to undermine the election is directly contrary to our values and goes against everything that facebook stands for. theresa may has already spoken of the need to respond to russia's tactics — a point she made in a speech at the lord mayor's banquet last year. it is seeking to recognise information. deploying its state—run media organisations to plant fake stories and photos shot images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine our institutions. i have a very simple message for russia. we know what you are doing and you will not succeed. the uk's digital, culture, media and sport select committee has been conducting its own investigation into russian meddling. facebook was set a deadline of today to hand over information about russian campaigns on their platform, that relate to the uk. the chair of the committee

damian collins joins us now from westminster. good to see you. tell us first of all, what do you suspect russia is doing and what is the evidence you have been able to gather so far? we know from evidence linked to twitter accou nts know from evidence linked to twitter accounts and counselling to back to russia that russia was active during the brexit referendum. if you look at what happened in america we know that russian operatives used both twitter and facebook to spread m essa g es twitter and facebook to spread messages during the us presidential campaign and we want to know to what extent facebook was used here as well. what i am disappointed about, notwithstanding from what you heard the facebook general council saying in previous clips, despite facebook saying they take it seriously, they are not doing anything proactive to look for abuse of their servers chewing the referendum campaign. we have asked them to share with the

committee evidence of the activity. they say unless we can demonstrate to them it took place they don't see why they should look for it. we know the characteristics of fake news, of russian activity, have already been established by the work done in america. facebook should be looking inside their own systems and looking for similar activity that requires further and deeper analysis. when we go as further and deeper analysis. when we goasa further and deeper analysis. when we go as a committee to washington which i will be doing in february. we'll be holding evidence sessions of the select committee at the embassy in washington where we will be questioning tech companies, we wa nt be questioning tech companies, we want them to come up with answers about analysing what has been going on on their servers and platforms, so we know for sure what is going on and what we need to do to act against it. mr collins, can you sanction those companies if you find they are not cooperating with you? it isa they are not cooperating with you?

it is a serious matter for those companies to refuse to co—operate with a parliamentary enquiry. they are cooperating with an inquiry in the us senate. it will be a very bizarre way to start the year by his company refusing to cooperate with what our reasonable requests of a parliamentary committee. we had a debate in the house of commons before the christmas recess where the digital media and sport made it very clear he expects facebook to respond to the inquiry of the committee. that means answering questions and cooperating was at the government is prepared to consider the action to take. you set a deadline for facebook which was today. are you saying they have not responded? reset the deadline for twitter. —— we set a deadline. responded? reset the deadline for twitter. -- we set a deadline. the british government has asked for information and they have not come

back. neither twitter nor facebook have given any information relating to russian activity on the servers during the brexit referendum. i believe the information given to facebook and twitter was supplied by us intelligence services. my understanding is facebook and twitter is not looking for other evidence of russian activity. i believe they can do that. facebook isa believe they can do that. facebook is a closed system. it is very difficult for other people to look at what is going on for that they have the capability to look at other evidence of problematic activity on their site related to the brexit campaignfor their site related to the brexit campaign for that they did do that in france. they did a detailed study looking at the activity of fake accou nts looking at the activity of fake accounts that were seeking to influence opinion during the presidential election and they did their own study on that. they should do the same. we should see a pattern of behaviour linked to russian

agencies, looking to sow division and mislead people. we're getting an emerging picture of how that is happening is that we need tech companies to do more to cooperate with us. interesting that he brought france up. president macron has gone further than many others. he announced in his new year speech he was imposing restrictions on social media companies that we don't know the exact details because the bill has not been published but he's talking about a cap on how much one of the companies can spend on advertising, or someone who is posting on facebook, how much they can spend on a particular advertising campaign. they are saying they would ban access to facebook or twitter if they were found to be spreading fake news. i would not be surprised if we saw similar action taken here at some point during the united states. these companies are too big for that

they're not regulating themselves and something will have to change. the white house this weekend warned illegal immigrants in the us to expect more raids and deportations at their places of work. last week the government raided 98 7—eleven grocery stores in 17 states to round up undocumented workers. 21 people were arrested. the department of homeland security now says the public should expect more such raids. these crackdowns are often most obvious in small communities like pacific county, washington. the majority of people there voted for donald trump — making it the first time they supported a republican in more than 60 years. but some now question whether these raids are ok. they are taking the easy targets. they are taking the easy targets. they are taking the easy targets. they are waiting for them when they arrive at work. i don't think people thought about it. i don't think they believe people's writes would be trampled on. these are our friends and neighbours, people we value. i

did not think about how reality would play out with people i know. there are some republicans here who are delighted with what is going on. the enforcement of immigration. there are also a number of republicans who are feeling very distressed and saying this is not being done in the proper way.|j consider myself very politically conservative. i thought it sounded great. you break the law, by golly. then you think, wait a minute, wait a minute. this year, what we've noticed is a lot of people who have beenin noticed is a lot of people who have been in our community for a number of years have been arrested and detained. we're talking about people who have been here ten, 12, even more years. it is impacting the fisheries, the cal workers, the

cranberry box. even more so than that, people have been emotionally in turmoil because they've seen people they have known for years, friends, acquaintances, neighbours, people who they have gone to church with, people they go to school with, they are just with, people they go to school with, they arejust gone. with, people they go to school with, they are just gone. they are taking they are just gone. they are taking the easy targets. i have been told people are just going to work for the day and the immigration service is waiting for them at work. it is frustrating because they have not yet been able to tell us names of people they are taking away or any details. sometimes we have had cases where maybe some of these missing and we don't know if they were taken by is or they are missing person. i have no problem whatsoever in seeing people who have been committing crimes deported. since i have been sheriff, i think they have only taken people sheriff, i think they have only ta ken people about

sheriff, i think they have only taken people about half a dozen times from ourjail facility. aye i knew a guy for many years. ——|j times from ourjail facility. aye i knew a guy for many years. -- i knew a guy for many years. i found knew a guy for many years. -- i knew a guy for many years. ifound out last summer he was picked up. i was like, they picked up mario gotz? since the new administration started, everyone is going to be detained and then i knew that they we re detained and then i knew that they were going to focus on the criminals. i were going to focus on the criminals. lam were going to focus on the criminals. i am sure were going to focus on the criminals. lam sure i were going to focus on the criminals. i am sure i am were going to focus on the criminals. lam sure i am not were going to focus on the criminals. i am sure i am not a criminal. i criminals. i am sure i am not a criminal. lam criminals. i am sure i am not a criminal. i am not one of those. he is somebody you would want to have in your country. somebody who is adding ina in your country. somebody who is adding in a very positive way to our community. you cannot tell me that our community is better off, or the united states is better off because marion has been shipped back to mexico. —— mario. it is easy to hear

sound bites and said his great policy. it is different when you are implementing it in seeing how it affects people's lives. shame on me for being short—sighted. fine. it is not just. it is for being short—sighted. fine. it is notjust. it is notjust to me. pacific county, washington state. a woman has gone on trial in the south of france, accused of seducing and poisoning four elderly men. patricia dagorn, who was nicknamed the black widow of the riviera, denies all the charges. police say ms dagorn met at least 20 men through a matchmaking agency between 2011 and 2012. she allegedly asked most of them for money, or to name her in their wills. two of the men died as a result of poisoning. the future of the biggest commercial airliner could be in doubt as the company who makes them say they may have to stop production.

european planemaker airbus has said it will stop making the a380 if it does not get any more orders from the company's biggest customer for the ‘superjumbo' — dubai airline emirates. the company also announced orders last year rose by more than 50%, putting it ahead of its rival boeing. a former us army whistle—blower who was jailed for leaking classified documents, is seeking to run for the us senate. chelsea manning was sentenced to serve 35 years for spying, but had her sentence commuted by president obama and was released from prison last may. she has announced she wants to stand as the democratic party's nomination for the senate seat in the state of maryland. let's revisit one of our top stories — and leading uk construction company, carillion, has gone into liquidation. carillion is involved in major infrastructure projects including the rollout of broadband, and the building and maintenance of prisons, schools and hospitals across the uk. but the company directors over—reached — they paid themselves huge bonuses, even though carillion had huge debts

of more than $2 billion and had issued three profit warnings in the past six months. joining me in the studio edwin morgan, the policy director at the institute of directors here in london. it's an organisation which represents the interests of business leaders around the world. i was explaining the four—year came here, perhaps not very eloquently, there was a system of clawing back bonuses to well—paid directors. there was a system of clawing back bonuses to well—paid directorsm is good practice for a company of that size to have that mechanism where if something goes really wrong billboard can claw back bonuses that had been awarded to executives. —— the board can claw back. it seems terms had changed to make it harder to claw back the money, which is inappropriate in normal times. in the context of carillion collapsing,

it seems to be highly inappropriate. to make it really simple, it is like building your house. you bring in a master builder who has different suppliers, smaller suppliers for the carpenter, the plumber, the electrician. they oversee the whole project was is what carillion was doing for the government. they are the intermediary. i'm struggling to see how you could do without the intermediary in the huge construction projects. you do need the private sector expertise organising loads of contracts together. on hs2, three of the mega companies coming together on a joint—venture. it is a big question. the government says it wants to get more smaller companies directly procuring from them. the public sector does occasionally get these things wrong. there are questions about whether they should have kept using carillion after the profit warnings that there were problems in the past with the way things had turned out. you will never get it

perfectly right. there will always be mistakes made. certainly, the system which maybe uses smaller companies more directly said they are not then affected. when carillion goes bust, it affects all the smaller companies as well. private — public partnerships are very popular in the united states for that everyone wants to have infrastructure projects and they don't want a hike in taxes to pay for it. does the collapse of carillion put into question what has become more fashionable? the department for transport was trying to reassure us that all of these major projects will still go ahead. i think there is no way around it. the government cannot build a lot of these things themselves. there is nothing wrong per se with having a public — private partnership. i think where the government could try to look at where the terms could be

improved, those things are absolutely what they should be doing. i think really, this is one of those unfortunate cases where a company goes bust. it happens and there is not anything the government can do about it. they could not have given them more contracts after july. there are questions about the timing of some more contracts. all i would say is you cannot avoid this situation entirely. there is going to be an investigation and it should look into what directors have done but also what the role of the government was. whether one allegation —— one allegation which has been made is whether carillion has been made is whether carillion has come in too low and civil serva nts has come in too low and civil servants signing them should have been aware of that and pushed harder. that is one thing we definitely had to find out. thank you for coming in. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come — does swearing at work reduce stress? we speak to the author who thinks it's therapeutic.

we'll be asking why. former west brom and england forward cyrille regis has died at the age of 59. as a black player he's been described as a pioneer. coming into the game in the 19705 he suffered racial abuse — even when wearing the england shirt. our sports editor dan roan looks back at his life. region is taking it well on the chest. what a great shot! cyrille regis didn'tjust lead chest. what a great shot! cyrille regis didn't just lead the chest. what a great shot! cyrille regis didn'tjust lead the line he led the way for that known for pace and power he broke through at west brom in the 19705, time when there we re brom in the 19705, time when there were few black players. it made the situation at the hawthorn5 all the more unique where regi5, brendan bat5on and laurie cunningham, together nicknamed the three degrees we re together nicknamed the three degrees were at the heart on the era's stick fighting team5. they were subject to

rele ntle55 fighting team5. they were subject to relentle55 abuse. we were used to about 10,000 people 5houting racial abu5e about 10,000 people 5houting racial abuse at you, 5tirring bananas on the pitch and monkey chanting and so on. i took it as it was someone trying to intimidate me foot atjust the third black player to represent england are not everyone welcomed his debut. got a letter through the post saying, if you put your feet on the wembley turf, you get one of these three or do. and it was a bullet. his importance was recognised in 2008 when awarded an mbe. the tributes laid here at the hawthorns today are testament to a man who became a symbol for the fight against racism in britain. the legacy of cyrille regis felt not just here at west brom but throughout the sport, a role model for a generation of black footballers inspired by his dignity and determination. cyrille regis was

far more than a mere player, a pioneer who faced up to the unacceptable site of football and helped it to move forward. his impact on and off the pitch cannot be overstated. you are watching beyond 100 days. in bucharest, the prime minister hasjust beyond 100 days. in bucharest, the prime minister has just resigned. we have heard he stepped aside after his gruelling social democrat party withdrew political backing for him in an overwhelming vote. he is the second prime minister to be ousted by his party in less than seven months. political turmoil in the mania. we will bring you more on that as we get it. thanks to presidentjohn, many parents and media organisations have been discussing the issue of swearing and what words are acceptable. what if

we told you that swearing could actually be good for you. yes, a p pa re ntly actually be good for you. yes, apparently sofas. according to a new book. those select words could actually reduce pain and lower anxiety. his here to discuss the amazing science of bad language but i'm feeling slightly relieved when i turn the air blue, i am doing some good for myself. there are fantastic studies that have been done on this. the university of keele is the real epicentre of this. my interest was first spiked by a study which showed if you are swearing you can keep your hands in ice cold water for about half as long again as if you are not. that is the first thing that peaks to interest will stop what is going on in the brain? the more you look at how swearing has been studied, the more you realise how instrumental it has been in understanding how the brain works. is that why we swear when we bang our thumbs with a hammer? is that why we swear when we bang our thumbs with a hammer7m is that why we swear when we bang our thumbs with a hammer? it was making you feel worse by concentrating on the negative thing

that happened was a research shows you can withstand more pain and exert more effort when you are exercising. you could be more resilient in general if you are swearing. i have also seen that research shows it is different for men and women. surprise, surprise. men can get away with wearing at work that women cannot. it is because we suffer more! we, as women, have a far greater social risk when we choose to swear. you have to trade off some of your identity, yourfemininity identity, your femininity and compliance and making nice guy in favour of co—opting the language of power. you have to be even more certain than a man as he will have a positive impact you were looking for. i have to ask you, given everything that has been reported after the white house after the last few days, what is the impact when the leader of the country swears? it depends what he is swearing about.

one thing that strikes me about comments that donald trump made about certain countries, they all have something very obvious in common. if he had used a more benign term, we would not be talking about it. one thing about swearing is it ca ptu res it. one thing about swearing is it captures our emotions. the heart rate rises and makes you produce lots of adrenaline. and so we noticed what he said because of the language he chose to use. those opinions would have been the same evenif opinions would have been the same even if they had been couched in far more civil terms. is it true we are not the only thing that swears? chimpa nzees also swear, not the only thing that swears? chimpanzees also swear, is that right? if you are teaching chimpanzees to use sign language, the best thing to do is to adopt them into your household. if you're going to do that you have to potty train them. as soon same internalise the potty to boot, they will use their terminology which is everything discreet three in the same way we use our own excretory

word may need to express that castration through signs. there is one that is called darcy, which is basically put your hand up under the chin. there is a great description in the book that is written about this about how sometimes the lab would be resounding with the sound of chimp teeth clacking together when they were forcefully swearing. really interesting. thank you for coming. you may be trying to think of ways to read gift novelty socks he got for christmas but for one entrepreneur they are his route for success. the new yorker has downs syndrome for that he decided he wa nted syndrome for that he decided he wanted to start a business with his father saying crazy and colourful socks. now it is a million-dollar business. socks, socks, more socks. iand business. socks, socks, more socks.

i and john's dad and we are the co—founders ofjohn's i and john's dad and we are the co—founders of john's the i and john's dad and we are the co—founders ofjohn's the socks. —— crazy. and making plenty of money as well. we'll be back the same time tomorrow. thank you for watching. a mild monday morning of rain gave way to colder conditions as we went through the day. the rain was heavy for a time but the showers turned increasingly wintry north and west. behind the weather front the cold are starting to dig down. that stays with us for the next couple of days. a change in our weather story. a rash of showers continued through the night. i merrily of rain through

central and southern england. further north that showers will turn increasingly wintry, even at lower levels. first thing tomorrow morning, across northern ireland and scotland, there will be snow starting to settle on lower levels and with temperatures hovering close to freezing there is likely to be icy stretches around first think of that not only does the scotland and northern ireland but perhaps for the north—west of england as well. in wales and the midlands it would be a wintry mix with rain, sleet and snow from anywhere south of the m4 corridor there will be blustery showers. the further east you are, through the east midlands, east anglia and the south east of england, you might their reasonably well tomorrow. no beer rash of wintry showers. factor in the strength of the biting wind and it will feel quite raw out there for much of the day. not that much in the way of change as we move into wednesday. sheltered eastern area

seeing the best of any sunshine. again we will start to see wintry showers through the day. accumulations will start to build up and highs of only 3—8d, getting colder when you factor in the strength of the wind. wednesday night and into thursday morning we start to see a change was a deep area of low pressure will move in. on the southern flank, the winds will beat strong. on the leading edge for a time across central and southern areas of scotland we could see some snow. it is the wind which will be the real issue first thing on thursday morning for the severe gales a possibility. some snow in scotla nd gales a possibility. some snow in scotland will cause disruption. the only good news is this russia is moving through at quite a pace. a windy day but quieter, albeit still cold. this is bbc news. the headlines at eight. thousands ofjobs are at risk, after the collapse of the giant construction and services firm carillion. the company employs 20,000 people

in the uk, but has gone into liquidation with debts of £900 million. the government has defended giving carillion contracts, despite known financial difficulties. we have been monitoring carillion closely since its first profit warning in july 2017. and since then, have planned extensively in case of the current situation and have a robust and deliverable contingency plan in place. a coroner has ruled that 13—month—old poppi worthington had been sexually assaulted before dying of asphyxia, at her home in barrow—in—furness five years ago. the lead singer with the band the cranberries, dolores o'riordan, has died in london. she was 46.
