how can you stay in a good place. how can you have that situation we are dealing with an administration that believes in protectionism. for example, it stoking fears of but the president and i are looking to create a benefit for the largest number of people. particularly folks in ourown number of people. particularly folks in our own countries that have felt left out of the kind of growth and progress we have seen over left out of the kind of growth and progress we have seen over the past 30 years. if we can actually work together to create and enhance jobs than that is what we are going to do. there's areas where we disagree and he knows myjob is to stand up for canadian interests and he gets that. dealing with him, is a challenging? any relationship amongst leaders is challenging. there has been nothing like this. we have not seen this m0 before. you find that challenging? canada's

relationship with united states was a lwa ys relationship with united states was always one of the most important for any canadian prime minister to deal with. this is certainly a standup time. the president prides himself ona time. the president prides himself on a particularly that is challenging aspects of global systems that we have taken for granted. it does keep me on my toes, but we have a good working relationship because that's what canadians expect me to do. the secretary—general of the un says the cold war is back with a vengeance. the mechanisms that were in place to prevent the escalation of conflict are no longer there. do you agree with that? i think we're living in a time where we are seeing there's different stresses and conflicts that we had in my father's time or even a decade ago. that's why we have to be thoughtful about how we

pull together as a global community to deal with challenges whether it's a significant country no longer playing with international rules or economic pressures playing with international rules or economic pressures coming out of asia. have you deal the like russia? demonstrating strength and solidarity amongst the international community. i i think vladimir putin is someone that plays on power structures and strength and seeing a strong and concerted response from the international community. he was taken aback by how the humility the international community responded to the terrible attacks. that was absolutely irresponsible and illegal of russia to have engaged that way and there were immediate and direct conferences. i think continuing to demonstrate that there is a strong

will in the international community to push back against their actions. you say it has taken aback, but do you think it is likely to change russia's behaviour? i'm not going to get into predicting or analysing what they do in general, but i do think however, that a strong and unified response by the international community to stand up for the rules that we have long—established legs don't use chemical weapons against civilians, against her own country in the case of syria or so miles's country like in the styles varied attack, that for me is something we have to show that no, we will not accept that and there will be consequences and we will stand firmly. if you look at these strikes on syria, do you think they compost anything? these strikes on syria, do you think they compost anything ?|i these strikes on syria, do you think they compost anything? i think they managed to degrade the ability of

syria to continue to deliver chemical weapons on its own civilians. i think that's the direct and explicit point of the air strikes were and it was very targeted on that level. as we move forward the solutions of diplomatic and political but having a clear response from the community is a line that must not be crossed is againa line that must not be crossed is again a very strong signal. it has not changed the course of the war. it has not changed their behaviour. it has not changed their behaviour. it was not about changing the course of the war, it was about saying the use of chemical weapons is something thatis use of chemical weapons is something that is going to be matched with a very clear and strong response from the international community. ideally, it would happen through the security council but as you pointed out the structures that used to hold well in terms of how it worked with russia playing a spoiler role at the security council means we actually did not have other choices then to

have a direct and measured response. when you wake up in the morning and see a tweet like get rid of russia party feel? there's a —— how do you feel. -- how do you feel. i focus on the substance and the great relationship that canada has with our... when you look at your phone do you think anything? i had a headset through our military and security that those... that those tweets were coming out? that they were looking ata coming out? that they were looking at a strong and measured response. i knew what was going on in the substance of things was on a track that's could be illustrated by a tweet by don't spend a lot of time

on twitter. do you feel that you have had any influence over presidents trump? we have established a good relationship and we can talk when important issues. he listens. you have rebranded canada. certainly your personal brand has played a huge role in that. what are some of the downsides of that? i think one of the things i try to point out and remind people of his canada did not suddenly changed when we had an election two yea rs changed when we had an election two years ago. canadians did not radically change their approach. it has always been canadians engaged around the world in diplomacy and development, and innovation. but your brand, people took notice when your brand, people took notice when you entered the international stage. i was able to pull together general perceptions that people had around canada and focus them and lift them up canada and focus them and lift them upa canada and focus them and lift them up a little bit in a way that, as

the world was going in a particular direction stood out a bit. people paying a little bit more attention to canada and canadians and what we are doing is a good thing. but there have been downsides to that, have there not? if you look at your recent trip to india there was a lot of criticism. when you are a politician do get criticism for anything you do. whether it's successful or less successful. i try to stay focused and on the criticism or the openness to criticism, but on the doing of actual substantive things. the trip was a great moment to connect with a very strong diaspora. it was an opportunity to sign significant deal with investors in canada and india. we ended up creating good jobs in canada for the trip. there is a point where the dancing and outfit changes did have

appeal. i don't think of things in terms of, oh is this going to go viral or not? i think of things in terms of how do i want to engage and what is authentic to how we engage with the world? for me, giving... i have a constituency in montreal where there's a strong indian community and i am regularly at their celebrations and engage with them. for me, continuing that in india was natural. it was a reflection of the deep connections between our country. people can criticise and can take what they wish from it, but again the deepening of the relationship is a very positive thing. one of the criticisms was that with the novelty gone there was little substance. criticisms was that with the novelty gone there was little substancei think gone there was little substance.” think the economic approach we have

had was successfully signed trade deals around the world at a time where anti—trade and globalisation is everywhere. creating the highest growth rate in the g7 rain in canada with 2017 being the best year in the g7 in canada. because we are doing things like lowering for the middle class. giving generous checks to the middle—class and low—income families. we are actually creating sisanda of progress for canadians in a way that is notjust good for us asa a way that is notjust good for us as a country, but it is capturing a lot of the populist anxiety out there. that's very much what i am focused on and i will stay focused on andi focused on and i will stay focused on and i will let opinion folks opine on what they want. i will keep delivering for canadians. have you learned lessons from these things? if you don't learn everyday on how to do things that are that he won't

evolve as a leader and he won't be able to be there to respond. i am a lwa ys able to be there to respond. i am always going to take and reflect on what we can do next. i asked about a controversial pipeline? energy project consider one of the most controversial in ca nada's project consider one of the most controversial in canada's history. do you feel you are in between a rock and a hard place or giving up your values? my values and the approach they put forward when i got elected was we can no longer pretend there's a choice between what's good for the economy and what's good for the environment. dylan would to build a responsible economy and country an environment that works for future generations is to do both of the same time. whether it's oil about rail or truck pipelines are much safer and we are captive to a us market for our oil resources. getting our oil to the pacific. it

really matters because that is a discount now but we are also captive toa discount now but we are also captive to a market at that as we pointed out earlier is a little bit less predictable than it has been in yea rs past predictable than it has been in years past and i think diversifying is good. thank you so much. it's a real pleasure. thank you. i appreciate it. we have into the mid—20s in two places. most of it and spent a lovely day. buddy of warm sunshine like this. not quite the same everywhere through the west country and into the midlands we have had threatening cloud like this which has produced earlier ronnow with some quite light rain. you can see

from the satellite picture we have clouds steering and from the atla ntic clouds steering and from the atlantic but it has been this clouds moving up the continent that was bringing earlier rain and threatens to bring storms as we head through this evening and overnight. rats running to the midlands and north wales and torrential downpour is here but also seeing storms later on through the southeast and east anglia. these storms are not guaranteed by any means, it's a risk across england and wales. what is more likely perhaps is this rain coming into western scotland and the island towards the night. pretty mild out there. and warm start for the runners get going for the marathon and warmest on record. temperatures plateauing and 22 in the afternoon and notjust a chance for sunshine but some downpours as well. the showers coming on that weather front there which starts life as a band of rain and tends to degenerate into a of showers as it ru ns degenerate into a of showers as it runs eastward and then behind it we

draw in this cooler, fresher air thatis draw in this cooler, fresher air that is moving in from off the atlantic. for sunday at the web server atlantic. for sunday at the web server start for northern ireland ended western scotland. maybe this band of showers running eastwards across england and wales and gauging that warm a pocket of air leads to east anglia and we could see heavy and thundery showers into the afternoon. temperatures 22 or 23 degrees. behind the weather front and behind that band of showers who introduced the cooler and fresher air. for all of us over the course of next week we're back to normal spring weather. temperatures around the mid—teens and sunshine but spells of or showers. this first of which arise on monday and across northern ireland. we have this atla ntic northern ireland. we have this atlantic winds coming our way. into southern parts of scotland and southwest kirtland, one or two showers the northeast but this temperatures are still 17 degrees or so. the london marathon, tomorrow
