you're watching beyond 100 days. donald trump flicks dandruff from macron's jacket, calls a reporter's question stupid and says kimjong un is an honourable man. and that's before they got to substance. it's another unusual day in an unusual state visit in an unusual presidency. the two leaders held extensive talks on iran, trade and syria — all issues that test the new french—american special relationship. if iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid. 0k? the driver who killed ten people in toronto is charged with murder, but authorities say for the moment, they don't suspect terrorism. also on the programme... a man's world no more — the first statue of a woman in london's parliament square is unveiled, honouring the suffragist, millicent fawcett. gun salutes across london to mark the arrival of the duke and duchess of cambridge‘s third child.

get in touch with us using the hashtag #beyond100days. hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. when you are president of the united states, you get to flick dandruff from the jacket of the president of france. i'm tempted to say there's something symbolic in that gesture — but maybe it was just a bit of fun. what is clear is that emanuel macron needs something from donald trump.

translation: you consider the iranian deal, the one negotiated in 2015 with iran, is a bad deal. to have some control over their nuclear activity. we therefore wish from now on to work on a new deal with iran. it is a bad deal, it is a bad structure. it is falling down.

it should never, ever have been made. i blame congress. i blame a lot of people for it. but it should have never been made. good to see you. i am slightly confused, because when president macron arrived in washington, he said there was no plan b. wejust heard him saying we're going to work ona heard him saying we're going to work on a new deal with iran. where are they with this? it is interesting you say that, that was a question mr macron was asked in the press

conference about how he said there was no plan b and he was presenting what looked like a plan b. he sort of dodged the question how little, and he split the difference a little on the issue of the way through the press, but still. i'm trying to work at the same thing. he has been saying the nuclear deal is one aspect of the problem. i believe we can usefully add to it with these three other areas he wants to look at. he also said, it's not about tearing apart a new deal, it's about building something new. but if you're looking at three other areas to add to the agreement, it sounds very much like a new agreement. lucy, i'm a little confused too because wouldn't that mean having to go back to the iranians and say, or 93v, go back to the iranians and say, or gay, let's stop the whole process of re—negotiation again? —— or say it, 0k. re—negotiation again? —— or say it, ok. i think what is clear is that if you leave aside the existing deal on

iran's nuclear activities, it's clear that donald trump and emanuel macron have been speaking about three other areas they want to talk to iran and the european partners and washington —— russia and turkey about, one of those is the regional situation, particularly in syria. 0ne situation, particularly in syria. one of them is the long—term prospects for iran's nuclear programme, the other is iran's ballistic nuclear missile tests, which they also want to curtail. those of a new areas that both leaders agree need to be looked at although donald trump has said he is not clear whether he will agree with this new deal or not. but what happens to that original pillar, the one that has already been agreed, we don't know if that will be reopened oi’ don't know if that will be reopened or renegotiated. 0k, lucy williamson outside the white house. joining me now is victoria nuland, former assistant secretary of state for european affairs, now ceo at the center for a new american security. thank you forjoining me. i believe and confused about this because i

don't see how you can add these three new elements on regional interference, on ballistic missiles and on the length of the iran nuclear deal, without going back to the iranians and saying you have agree to these new things. the most important thing is that president macron has convinced president trump that whatever we are going to do with a run, we have to do it together. there are many ways to skin this cat. we can have a us european agreement but our expectation is we will work on a follow—on to the nuclear agreement and we will have separate agreements on ballistic missiles and on regional issues. when we have our own act together, on those other two we could take it to the russians, chinese and the iranians. what is most important here is that the us not take unilateral action and break out of this without an agreement with our allies. so you're reading of all that has taken place, it sounds to me like you think that on may the 12th, which is the deadline

for recertification, donald trump will recertify the existing iran deal. i don't think we can make that judgment yet but i think president macron is seeking to get more time to keep talking about these additional allowance and convince president trump he can have a win if he gives it more time. frankly, president trump has a new security team, a new national security advisor, none of those folks have had a chance to really work this through. so time is what president macron wants most, and i was cautiously optimistic by what i heard today, but we will see. they talked a lot about protecting the sovereignty of syria and also of yemen. emanuel macron had been trying to persuade the president to keep those 2000 us troops in syria, because he knows if you are trying to renegotiate with iran and trying to renegotiate with iran and trying to get a deal at the same time on syria, you need some leverage. absolutely. and frankly, for the us to get out of syria now willjust

result in isis coming back, as al-qaeda did in iraq when we pulled out, but also reduces liver edge on that third basket, the original set of concerns about iran. so we need to ensure that iran cannot expand its regional hegemony in syria and we are working together on a syria and state that will make the place sta ble and state that will make the place stable and much more democratic and free of foreign interference. another interesting line from the press c0 nfe re nce , another interesting line from the press conference, he has been talking a little more warmly about kimjong un, talking a little more warmly about kim jong un, saying talking a little more warmly about kimjong un, saying he has been open and honest in the way he is negotiating. he was challenged about that. when they asked where the negotiation is going to go, he was quite clear, it is total denuclearisation. the nukes, he says, have to go. as you know, president trump has really run the emotional gamut here in talking about north korea from his original insults to the rocket man to looking

forward to solving it themselves at a summit. i think what is most important is that we are going to proceed with north korea to the negotiating table rather than having two guys with their fingers on the bottom. but president trump has come under criticism in the us that he is capitulating before he even gets to the table. i think that's why you see him making this directive, so the only thing that is accessible that will be successful for the us in the endgame is complete there is asian. he needs to get that marker back on the ground. —— complete denuclearisation. thank you for joining us. i was interested in the questions from the french journalists, the asked about the personal relationship between donald trump and emanuel macron. donald trump and emanuel macron. donald trump not massively popular in france, so the frenchjournalist trump not massively popular in france, so the french journalist was saying, what are you getting out of this? imani macron gave a very full throated defence of his efforts to

get cosy donald trump, and in light of that i have a gift for you. here it is. thank you. thank you. i like him a lot. i am a keen student, as you know, borderline wit. there is a spanish terror, it translates literally as hand—to—hand. —— a spanish term. you have two matadors in the bullring computing alternately for the abolition of the audience. that is exacting what we've seen today. but donald trump has a slight advantage because he is unusually tall. he is slightly taller than the french president. i'm continually —— continually he moves into other people's space. a

sort of unspoken message, i'm more powerful than you, i am the one in control here. constantly, you see it. president macron trying to wrestle his hand back on top as they are shaking hands, or grabbing him by the shoulder as they leave the press c0 nfe re nce . by the shoulder as they leave the press conference. this constant tussle of two alpha males who are trying to retain the upper hand. i just wonder, when all is said and done, we said yesterday that there isa done, we said yesterday that there is a risk he goes home empty—handed particularly on iran and the middle east, how receptive are the french going to be to this sort of tactile relationship? i know the french are tactile, but this... how are they to receive this? a little bit too cosy. you got about a minute and a half the macron body language, i think that's all you get for this whole show! two matadors competing, the admiration of the

audience... you would always win, why would i bother competing?“ that what they did in the amphitheatre? detectives in the canadian city of toronto are questioning a 25—year—old van driver who's suspected of killing ten people by deliberately running them over. he's been named as 25—year—old alek minassian, who wasn't previously known to officials. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, said it would take some time to determine a motive — though for the moment he doesn't see it as national security issue. 0ur correspondent nick bryant reports from toronto. on this street in toronto this morning, the length of the police tape became yet another gruesome measure of how long this killing spree went on. it stretched over half a mile. a suburban neighbourhood enjoying the warmth of the canadian spring, turned with manic suddenness into a place of death and horror. a white rental van became a guided weapon.

get down! kill me! get down! this is how the killing came to an end, in a stand—off with the police. the driver urges the officer to shoot him. brandishing what looks like a gun, but what was probably a mobile phone. but the policeman remains calm. he moves in to take him alive. 25—year—old alek minassian has now been charged with ten counts of murder. it's believed he acted alone, and was not associated with an organised terror group. this is not being treated as a terrorist incident. the events that happened on the street behind ours are horrendous, but they do not appear to be connected in any way to national security, based on the information available at this time. you were down here? yes, i was right on over here... local resident steve saw the van swerved to hit the first victim, and then carry on driving.

as i was coming up the street, i was little really running by bodies all over the sidewalk, some of them were in pools of blood, people were doing cpr, people were injured, it was pandemonium. everyone was going crazy over here yesterday afternoon. here you can see the tyre marks where the rental van slalomed through various bollards and obstacles, and just further up a sign of how fast that vehicle was travelling. this road sign simply knocked out of the way. the victims of canada's worst mass killing in decades are being memorialised at the roadside. anne—marie d'amica worked at the headquarters of an investment firm nearby. the entire community of toronto has shown strength and determination in the face of this tragedy. all canadians stand united with toronto today. for now, this remains a murder investigation rather than a terror probe. the motive is still unclear.

nick bryant reporting there. let's get more from the bbc‘s nada tawfik, who's also in toronto. they came out very fast and said they do not think there is a national—security angle. why are they so sure? well, you know, it's too early to tell what information investigators have, we are expecting the press conference on police shortly. but they have been able to piece together a bit of who the driver on a suspected driver was. they know he wasn't previously known to them, but he had served in the canadian armed forces. he had passed a clearance, which is a difficult thing to pass, but he only served fori6 thing to pass, but he only served for 16 days in late 2017 before he

was voluntarily asked to be discharged, just after 16 days of training. they also know he is not connected to any organised terror group. so, with the information they have, combined with the post he made on social media, they have made that determination, but as was reported there, what his motive is remains there, what his motive is remains the key question. but they are going to get the answers to that, presumably and that is largely faxed to the professionalism and the calmness of the police officer who could have shot him. —— that is largely thanks. absolutely. he is alive and police officers are able to interrogate him. as you say, but police officer is being called a hero. he is being celebrated for the way he showed shots show restraint ina very way he showed shots show restraint in a very tense confrontation. —— such restraint. we saw the suspected driver there really urging him to shoot, saying, shoot me in the head, kill me, pretending he was wielding

a gun in his pocket, to which the police officer said, i don't care, get down, get down! he was wide open there in the street, completely unprotected, but still showed bravery and courage in taking the suspect alive. that was something that the prime minister, justin trudeau, also made note of in his remarks today earlier. and because of that, they got the gaya life. thanks forjoining us. amazing those people just walking past the scene there as if they were going about their daily business. the former american president, george bush senior, has been admitted to hospital in houston, texas. a spokesman said an infection had spread to the 93—year—old's bloodstream, but that he was responding to treatment. it comes just days after the funeral of his wife, barbara. decontamination work has started in the city of salisbury, following the nerve agent attack on sergei and yulia skripal in march. work is taking place where the victims were found. specialists will carry out thorough testing to ensure any residual nerve agent is removed and destroyed. the uk medicines regulator is banning women and girls

of child—bearing age from taking a prescribed epilepsy drug that can harm babies. it's thought about 20,000 children in the uk have been left with disabilities caused by valproate since it was introduced in the 1970s. north korean leader kimjong un has shown a rare public display of compassion. this has some flash photography. the leader was shown on state tv visiting bus crash survivors in hospital, he also went to the chinese embassy in pyongyang to express his deep sympathy with officials. there are 11 statues of men in parliament square in london. as of today, there's now, finally, one of a woman too. she is millicent fawcett, the suffragist who campaigned throughout her life for women to get the right to vote. her statue stands next ghandi and nelson mandela. in her hand she is holding a banner reading, "courage calls to courage everywhere." the words taken from a speech she gave after the death of fellow

suffragette emily wilding davison at the 1913 epsom derby. vicky young has more. prime ministers, presidents, civil rights leaders, 11 famous figures, who all have their place in this square overlooking parliament. no woman has ever had her contribution to society recognised in this way — until today. it was a moment worth celebrating and hundreds gathered to commemorate the life and legacy of millicent garrett fawcett. well, it's been a long time coming, but finally parliament square has its first statue of a woman, by a woman. all to mark 100 years since women first got the vote. the idea for this statue came from an activist and writer, who was prompted into action during a jog through westminster. nelson mandela, gandhi, abraham lincoln, these were impressive men, for sure, but there was no getting away from the fact that they were all, well, men.

all 11 of them. i couldn't believe it. it was 2016, how had this not already been sorted? women are still woefully under represented in all areas of british cultural and political life, not least in its statues. checking the records, she found there were more statues of men called john than historical women. millicent fawcett started petitioning for women's right to vote in 1866, gathering signatures from women across the country and lobbying politicians. she led the suffragist movement which, unlike the suffragettes, stuck to peaceful protest. she dedicated her life to that cause and, aged 81, she watched from the public gallery in the house of commons as women were given the vote on the same terms as men, and her legacy lives on for another generation. i'm so inspired by millicent fawcett and what she's done for the feminist movement. she was really intelligent and she was very, very persistent and determined to give women rights, and i really love that. someone will say, well, what's the point of a statue?

why does it make any difference? does it make any difference? it's what it signifies and shows everyone. there are so many male statues and we need equality, and we need to show women are just as good as men and we can do incredible things as well. millicent fawcett‘s statue now watches over parliament, keeping a close eye on the fight for gender equality that continues, 150 years after she started campaigning. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. nice. christian, far be it from me to ever disagree with anything you say on this programme, but there was one tiny thing, a very small quibble. at the beginning of the programme you said a man's world no more. referring to this story. but i thought, well, does one statue out of 12 being a woman really mean it is not a man's world still? do you

wa nt is not a man's world still? do you want me to totally depressed you? less tha n want me to totally depressed you? less than 3% of statues in the uk are ofa less than 3% of statues in the uk are of a woman who actually existed. yeah. so i think it is a man's world. and i can tell you exactly the same is true here in washington, dc, i look at lots of statues here of men usually on horseback, often carrying a sword, and i think i have come across about one in the hull city of a woman. i will have to do the numbers. some people here will say, why is it not emily pankhurst? i think people overlook the fact that fawcett ashour campaigned her entire life, from the age of 19, she went on a speaking tour at the age of 22, she saw it through, of course they got the vote for some women in 1918, but right up until the year she died, she was campaigning. she died in 1929. they got the full vote in 1928. but it wasn'tjust on the

right to vote, it was on the right for women to divorce, on laws against incest, it was against child abuse, she campaigned on a whole range of civil rights issues. so when people look at dame millicent fawcett a nd when people look at dame millicent fawcett and wonder why she is the one standing the macron the blood, there is a whole history that people need to go and read.|j there is a whole history that people need to go and read. i think it's great and it's very good that the artist also did the statue, when there are 12 female statues and 12 males that is, we will say it is no longer a man's world. the arrival of the new royal prince was celebrated this afternoon. traditional gun salutes were fired from the tower of london and in hyde park. they are used to mark the birth of every prince or princess. the duke and duchess of cambridge welcomed their 8lb 7oz prince yesterday morning. the prince of wales says he's "so pleased" with his grandson — as yet no name has been announced. but there is plenty of speculation.

arthur is top of the list. yeah. not christian, is what i've heard! i had the bookmakers in london are already facing bets on whether she is going to have a fourth child. spare a thought for poor kathryn, she's just come out of labour, just given birth and they are already saying she's got to produce a fourth one!|j and they are already saying she's got to produce a fourth one! i said it yesterday, when you move from the family saloon to the people carrier, you have to think very carefully about numbers. you need another seat in the boot, then all the gear that comes with it... shall we have a quick look at a tweet from michelle 0bama? the former first lady... prince george was at the hospital

yesterday. quite a bond between the 0bamas and the royal family. by the way, i looked at that tweet this morning, by which time it had been tweeted again by thousands of people. people clearly loved that picture of prince george and barack 0bama. waiting for that pyjama party! this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news: jeremy corbyn meetsjewish leaders in london — the opposition leader is under pressure to do more to fight anti—semitism in his party. and what did trump's personal doctor do? claims of inappropriate behaviour threaten to upend his nomination for a topjob. that's still to come. hello, cloudy skies, some rain

around today, at least tomorrow something brighter on the way. but there will be some heavy showers getting going. some of the spring flowers putting on a lovely display after the warmth of last week. may ta ke after the warmth of last week. may take a bit of a battering tomorrow with heavy showers. there will also be some rumbles of thunder and gusty winds. all the clues are on the satellite picture. the cloud thickest in england and wales. looking into the atlantic, speckled cloud and showers on the way for tomorrow and thursday too. in england and wales, clearing away overnight, visibility improving for the coast and hills. showers overnight into northern ireland, especially in the west of the pennines. the north east of scotland, some spots here, but temperatures in low single figures. it will be a fine and chilly start

for many in the morning but some sunshine. then the cloud bills, quite readily in the morning for northern ireland and scotland with heavy showers. some developing further east. some of these heavy downpours, hail and thunder as well. but some fairly present sunny spells, tempers —— converters in the mid to low teens. into wednesday evening, some of the showers will fade but some will continue overnight, particularly across north—west scotland. another chilly start on thursday morning, a bright start on thursday morning, a bright start for money, showers again in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. for the rest of england and wales, fewer showers during thursday. more of us staying dry. but at times i gusty wind. quite different weather on friday because we are watching an area of low pressure coming from the south west. there is uncertainty about how far north the rain will get, but the stiffening breeze, cloud and outbreaks of rain for england and

wales. perhaps parts of northern ireland, maybe southern areas of scotland. elsewhere in scotland, some sunny scotland. elsewhere in scotland, some sunny spells, especially in the north. but the risk of some heavy showers. converters may come down a few degrees. into the weekend, it is looking quite cool. a swirl of wind, low pressure, a cool and unsettled weekend to come. this is beyond 100 days, with me, katty kay, in washington. christian fraser's in london. our top stories: as donald trump hosts the french president emmanuel macron at the white house, he announces the two countries could have an agreement soon on the iran nuclear deal. a man appears in court in toronto charged with ten counts of murder after the van he was driving zigzagged on and off the pavement killing and injuring pedestrians. coming up in the next half hour: jeremy corbyn says he has an "absolute determination" to ensure there is no anti—semitism in the labour party as he meets jewish community leaders. and mixing business with pleasure, we take a look

at what's on the menu for macron and trump at the white house tonight. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days. emanuel macron has got a full red—carpet welcome from mr trump. there was a photo op in the oval office, another in the cabinet room and white house press co nfe re nce , and there were a lot of handshakes. but on issues like the iran nuclear deal, paris climate accord and tariffs, the two leaders are still far apart. a brief time ago i discussed today's meeting with ian bremmer, president of the eurasia group and author of us vs them: the failure 0f globalism. 0n globalisation and here we have a french president who is a global is coming to meet an american

president, who is much less of a global list. it is an odd picture. if you want and us versus them tableau, macron and trump is the way to go. macron last week said he thought he was fighting a civil war in europe between liberal democracy and the forces of liberalism. if he had not been coming right to the us he would say that is true in the united states as well. the forces on the other side, on the brexit side, on the other side, on the 5—star movement and northern league, that is donald trump. he campaigned and ran and is governing on all of the things that macron opposed. macron wants open borders and free trade and he wants the united states providing the support as global policeman promoting democracy. trump opposes literally all of those things. look at your crystal ball. when you see emmanuel macron said next to donald trump in the white house,

which of these men are two visions represents the future? right now the future is neither one of the other, but broken between the two. the momentum right now is on the site of those that oppose globalism, and i don't necessarily mean the momentum is with trump because a lot of people think that if trump goes away you can fix it. the momentum is what brought trump to power. it is a lot of average working and middle class people in the united states across europe, and increasingly other countries and other democracies as well, that are saying all of these policies of free trade and open borders and technology will fix all woes. maybe working for you and the top 1%, really not working for us, we are angry. you talk about the us and europe and mentioned the rest of the world. are there areas of the world where globalisation and globalism is not

in retreat, where it is still being embraced? globalisation economic lee is working in lots of places but the place that is in a sense of most insulated from us versus them and the backlash against globalism is china. it is china has that government has an ability as a state capitalist government to ensure employment of what an otherwise very inefficient labour, and that government through controlling data and controlling the filter. as opposed to the private sector... it fosters one conversation around chinese civic nationalism and authoritarian supported civic nationalism that in the west we see as fragmented. it is a real problem for liberal bureaucracy. talking of authoritarian as, one figure in your book that struck me was that in 1985, one in 16 americans thought military rule of some form would be good. today that

figure is one in six. 0ne some form would be good. today that figure is one in six. one in six americans seriously think it would be good to have military rule in some form? pa rt of some form? part of it is because they were not around before the wall, the berlin wall came down. they were not around when we felt that we were potentially on the brink of nuclear annihilation and the cuban missile crisis. when you have a generation or two of average americans that feel that the democratically elected leaders, the republicans or the democrats, don't care about them, not going to fix the infrastructure, not going to fix the infrastructure, not going to fix the infrastructure, not going to fix their schools, not going to deal with an old white racist, but —— not going to do with the drug epidemic. this democracy and this elected system of liberals and this elected system of liberals and conservatives and democrats and republicans, whatever they are saying, it is not working for us. thank you very much, ian bremmer,

the book is us versus them. there is a story that president rob is using his personal mobile phones and his chief of staffjohn kelly does not know he who he is talking to but the reason he uses it is to keep that debate, and wants to know what people are thinking. he referred today in the press conference to the reason these two men have been elected, because he said, the voice of the people has been forgotten. that is as true for france as for the united states. don't forget that in the first round of the french election, emmanuel macron, he got 23% and front national got 22%, only because of the code in france he got such an overwhelming vote in the second round, and the code to keep the nationalists out. there are people who are unsatisfied with globalisation. interesting was the lecture —— the daycare, the number of americans think authoritarian government looks appealing. —— the data of americans who think authoritarian government is appealing. whether they are not

looking at china, but it may be an authoritarian government economy is doing well in china and things are getting done. this is a politics achieving things and perhaps that is more appealing than the type of dysfunctional system we have people are constantly at each other‘s throats and nothing gets achieved. that was a staggering statistic. 0ne sixth of americans think military rule could be a good idea. jeremy corbyn has again condemned the anti—semitism that exists within his party. the labour leader has been meeting some of the larger jewish groups today, who have demanded he takes action to confront the problem. ahead of that meeting, mr corbyn conceded that he had not done enough thus far, but he revealed that in the past fortnight 20 individuals have been suspended from party membership, with more being investigated. we're joined now by lord jones, digbyjones, a leading voice for uk business and a former government minister. he sits in the house of lords. i read the article you wrote today with strong words. you say that jeremy corbyn is guilty of walking on by.

definitely. i am a failed anglican brummie, sol definitely. i am a failed anglican brummie, so i have not got a dog in this fight at all. i am just interested in seeing that the fascism in society... you can have a fascism in society... you can have a fascism of the leftjust like fascism in society... you can have a fascism of the left just like a fascism of the left just like a fascism of the right. i know that is politically incorrect to say but it is true. it is intolerance back and going into violence and disgraceful behaviour. the left are capable of thisjust like the right. if we don't stop it, you and i and loads of people who don't think it's about them, if we don't stop it now, believe me, after the jews, they will cover the hindus and the sikhs and then they will come to you and me. there will be no one left to fight for us. what i want to see from mr corbyn is action. when he talks about suspension, frankly that means nothing. he has been suspended people from the labour party and then when it all quite in spelling everything is quiet, they come back in. iwant

everything is quiet, they come back in. i want to see people expelled in public. if evidence is there... it must be evidence —based. if evidence is there that they have been indulging in anti—semitism by word or... spoken or written... they should be expelled on the day. not the suspension with 43 processes and 76 enquiries. everybody is marked down, 0k, let them back in. erect an interesting thing in the evening standard and says, and has been a huge expansion of labour membership of the grassroots. he says, may be the party was not for purpose when he came to dealing with complaints about anti—semitism because of the party structure is not there to deal with bigger membership. that is a possibility. that is probably factually accurate, but so what? this is about leadership and leaders who in organisations take difficult decisions and then they ensure it happens. you must... you have a

conflation happening at the same time. the fact that labour, the hard left, the marxists which want to run the country, these marxists hate america deep down inside. and all that america stands for. and that transfers across, whose security does america guarantee? is real. then you have the whole thing... there are a lot ofjews in britain who do not approve of things is real do but that is a different issue to anti—semitism. —— they do not approve of things is real do. many dues like people in other religions and —— manyjews going to the middle class and create jobs and they pay tax and improve themselves. if you are in the marxist left in this country who want to run the country, thatis country who want to run the country, that is anathema to what you are there for. you're there to destroy capitalism. so...

we are here to destroy capitalism. lord jones, i looked at the numbers andi lord jones, i looked at the numbers and i read the words you quote from 1945. they are powerful words you quote on the attacks against the jews at the end of the holocaust. there are a large number of anti—semitic incidents in the uk last year. i am assuming this goes beyond the labour party, doesn't it? cannot believe all of those were perpetrated by people who come from the labour party. is not only does it, but you are right... the powerful words are used, a pollen were at the end of it he says, by the time they came for me, there was no one left to fight for me. you must that had they won. i never thought my country, renowned around the world for tolerance, renowned around the world for what i guess a guy on the street summer, a lady in the north of england or whatever, wherever she thought, she would think of democracy has been freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of anything. and i guess if we cherish that, we must

stop it wherever we find it. you're quite correct. not all of it is in the party but this is about stamping it out. one good way of doing it is if you are in the public eye, leaders of political parties. if you know it is going on, start making an example of people. start saying, i am not tolerating this. i am expelling people. now, those who are not in the labour party are doing this and i bet there are some people on the far right as well. i really do. i on the far right as well. i really do. lam on the far right as well. i really do. i am not picking on them. but what i'm saying is there is an opportunity to win some moral high ground here, mr corbyn. but no matter worked in the evening standard will sort this. it is action. when i see security guards on the doors ofjewish schools and synagogues in 2018, in the united kingdom, it is a disgrace. i repeat, when they have finished with the jews, they will move onto hindus and seeks and all the others. we have

this in our country. good to see you. thanks for having me. today there is more trouble for one of donald trump's cabinet picks. this time it is ronnyjackson — the president's personal physician, who he tapped to become the head of veterans‘ affairs. he was supposed to begin his confirmation hearings on wednesday, but today it was announced that serious allegations have emerged and need to be investigated. while many are now questioning what vetting process drjackson went through, if any at all, the white house is defending his record, and the president had this to say. he is a man who hasjust been an extraordinary person. his family, extraordinary success... great doctor, great everything, and he has to listen to the abuse that he has to... i wouldn't if i were him. actually, in many ways, i'd love to be him, but the fact is, i wouldn't do it. what does he need it for? to be abused by a bunch of politicians that aren't thinking nicely about country? i really don't think, personally, he should do it,

but it's totally his. i would stand behind him. it's totally his decision. i was listening to that and you sometimes wonder whether there wasn't a freudian thing with donald trump describing his own situation, how he is being attacked by the media as well always. he is standing by ronnyjackson, media as well always. he is standing by ronny jackson, no media as well always. he is standing by ronnyjackson, no doubt about it, but even though this investigation is still ongoing and there are reports we hear of this inappropriate behaviour which now must be looked into, overprescription of medication when he was in the navy and in the white house, struggles with alcohol, and creating a very difficult, unpleasant work environment... those are some of the things which must be investigated now. you think he is standing by him? that was slight of hand. i thought, he will make the decision... surely there would be a full throated defence, he will be my secretary, if he would stand behind him. no, ithink he would stand behind him. no, i think he is standing by him as a person but still saying, there may be this investigation going on but

he isa be this investigation going on but he is a good, upstanding character. i would know. i would not choose someone i would know. i would not choose someone who was guilty of those things investigated. he is giving him an out and could say, i don't wa nt him an out and could say, i don't want thejob him an out and could say, i don't want the job after all. i keep saying and say it a lot to ron christie when he comes on, where is the vetting process in this white house? is blaming politicians for obfuscation but it is the white house'sjob, obfuscation but it is the white house's job, not obfuscation but it is the white house'sjob, not congress, to obfuscation but it is the white house's job, not congress, to vet candidates before they put on board. this is a red flag we should have come up ages ago. in an era of bitter partisan fighting in washington, we focus on that a lot, there has been a gesture of good old—fashioned civility. a republican could not be president because he was giving the eulogy of a friend's funeral. step in democrat chris, a senator on

this programme several times. he doesn't actually like mike pompeo and opposes his nomination but last night the senator voted present in place of his friend, and it seems that such a small gesture of cross—party friendship these days is so rare that unless the republic committee chairman... he was visibly moved. i in particular want to thank senator coons for displaying the statesmanship... ..that i've been accustomed to seeing in the senate, and i'm proud of him. i'm proud of our committee. i like that. that is the kind of thing that needs to happen in the senate often christian but it has got worse over the course of the timei got worse over the course of the time i lived here since 1986. chris goons get the civility of the month award for that gesture. this is beyond 100 days. still to come, the scene is set as the trumps host their first state dinner. we take a look at what's

on the menu for the macrons. tsb has had to shut down its online banking service today as it attempts to deal with major technical issues. some customers have been locked out of their accounts since friday. the bank says it's deeply sorry for the problems and will reinstate the service as soon as possible. here's simon gompertz. it can sometimes feel like banks do as little as possible for their customers. tsb has been advertising itself as the bank to switch to. now the tables have been turned and its own customers are threatening to leave. break free and go somewhere better. customers likejonas, who runs a marketing business in edinburgh. he pays his staff on the 24th, today, but hasn't been able to, and he's worried they won't be able to cover their rent and other bills. the problems i've had since sunday night is that i haven't been able to pay my salaries, log in, see what i've

got in my account. that's affecting my staff and it's affecting my business. for that reason, i will have to consider whether i want to stay with tsb. this is the refusal of service customers have been facing as tsb moves accounts and transactions from the computer system at its former owner lloyds, over to its own new platform, which is buckling under the strain. four days into the outage, the chief executive says he's sorry. well, obviously, it's a big apology to our tsb customers. this is not the sort of service that we want to give them nor are they used to receiving from tsb. how are you going to be compensating customers? lots of them are saying they've lost out from this. of course it's an enormous inconvenience to our customers, and we apologise. any customer that is out of pocket should contact us through the normal channel. we will make sure that no customer is out of pocket as a consequence of the inconvenience we've created. 0n the internet there's anger, some customers worried money has gone missing. some saying they've had access to other people's accounts. tsb now faces inquiries

from mps and regulators and the possibility of heavy fines. simon gompertz, bbc news. you're watching beyond 100 days. hosting any dinner party is a bit stressful, so spare a thought for melania trump, who has been planning this week her first state dinner, in honour of the president of france. quite a challenge and she has done it all herself, no point starting low. going at deep end. quite a challenge and she has done it all herself, right down to the gold plates and cream linens. no event organiser. she planned the table settings for 130 guests, she designed the decor and even the menu, which includes a goat—cheese gateau, buttermilk biscuit crumbles, and a seasonal rack of spring lamb. just in case you need some inspiration for your own dinner tonight. someone who knows just how high pressure it is to plan

a presidential state dinner is capricia marshall, who was social secretary for president clinton and head of protocol for president 0bama. thank you for coming in. i remember going to a state dinner, as i guessed it was stressful so what is it like planning one? do you wish you were involved or are you glad you were involved or are you glad you are not there any more? i really wish i was there. i am just anxious for them and excited. it is one of the most spectacular events, the highest honour our president can bestow upon a visiting dignitary. i have to bring in this video of you when you were working with the 0bamas. i want to show how stressful this can be. here is capricia in the 0bama administration, your crowning moment. look, you handled it... there you go, and the double thumbs up. was that stress getting to you? it was fabulous and very high heels

i was wearing. they got caught and regrettably this was a visit where the president was welcoming the president of mexico, and so my entire mexican side of my family was watching this moment, wondering what happened. the wrong visit to do this on. how important is this for melania trump to get this evening right? very important. she is portraying to the world the style of the white house. she has taken months now in selecting the proper look and colours and how things will be perceived about the style of president and mrs trump. she is welcoming one of our dearest friends, the french, who have great style. this is a bit of a sweater for her. she has style, though. formerfashion model. she is a

designer as well. those are pink cherry blossoms that they walk past as they go into the room. it is a smaller guest list this evening, 130 people, smaller than the 400 that we re people, smaller than the 400 that were invited for the italian state dinner with president 0bama, with the italian prime minister. is there a concern with organising these events that someone might slip in who was not invited? there are ranges of guests and guest lists and sizes and locations where the state dinner can be held. you can have them in the state dining room, the east room, or on the south grounds. that is the beauty and wonder of the white house, that it can be used in any way to again showcased the style of the president and the first lady. and the secret service and security have taken care of all of those concerns, so i am sure that the guest list will be exactly who they intended to invite

for this evening. when you look at the menu, as an expert planner, what do you see? what i see is actually... delicious! yummy and delicious, absolutely, i love a spring rack of lamb. yummy. but it is nice they are showcasing the best of america here with a nod towards the visiting country, towards the visiting country, towards brands. the gateaux at the wine selection... that wonderful blend of the lads been brought from france but here planted in oregon. i think there was a lot of detail, a lot of thought put into this evening's menu. and the white house chef did this, and i got to work with her when she was first hired in 1985 by the clintons. 0ne 1985 by the clintons. one thing that is different from the 0bama administration is he invited several republicans when he had state dinners as a cross—party gesture but he also used to invite

celebrities, hollywood celebrities, celebrities, hollywood celebrities, celebrities from music. we are not seeing any that at the dinner for mr macron. i cannot say how they put the guest list together for this evening but i do know that president and mrs 0bama we nt do know that president and mrs 0bama went into great detail and outreach to various departments within the white house, state department, making sure that they were showcasing to our visiting dignitary is the best of everything, every arena and area, every subject matter here in the united states. so that includes our celebrities, and those who are in the entertainment industry, and it includes those who are in the sciences and education and journalists. members of congress... they wanted to make sure we we re congress... they wanted to make sure we were taking a wide swipe at showcasing the best. there is amongst america's allies a rivalry, and the brits like to think we get a more red carpet then every body else. we hope we get a better car than the french. that is

important to us. ireland when princess diana came, during the 19805 -- i princess diana came, during the 19805 —— i remember when princess diana came here, and she got not just any celebrity but the famous picture withjohn travolta. really iconic. also known for having quite a few friends who were from the entertainment world, because of president reagan's past. they invited those friends. thank you, capricia marshall, for coming to the studio to join us. i'm sorry, christian, that the invite to the state dinner did not arrive. as a former paris correspondent, you would have thought they might have invited you to go along to this as well. when he goes that innate, will he be dandruff free? let's look at the dan dropped because we have not shown it. we want a great relationship... they are correct, it is not a fake news, finally. finally it is not fake news. it is a great honour. we do

have a very special relationship. i will get that little piece of dandruff. we must make an impression thatis dandruff. we must make an impression that is perfect. i wish you could see this, the joys on the floor. see you tomorrow. hello. cloudy skies. some rain around today. at least tomorrow something a bit brighter on but there will be some heavy showers getting going. so some of the spring flowers putting on a lovely display after the warmth of last week may take a bit of a battering tomorrow with the heavy showers. risk of hail as well and there could also be some rumbles of thunder and gusty winds around the showers. look at all the blues on the satellite picture. an area of cloud covering much of the uk. thickest in england and wales with the rain we had today, and then look out into the speckled cloud, and these are the showers on the way tomorrow. and thursday as well. still some rain this evening, and in england and wales, clearing away south—eastwards overnight.

visibility improving for the coasts and hills of wales in south—west england. a bit misty and murky. showers overnight into northern england, especially over into the west of the pennines, and into northern and western parts of scotland. north—east scotland in some spots clears up and will be on the low single figures. a touch of frost on the ground going into the morning. it will be a financially start for many of us in the morning, with some sunshine around. then the cloud builds readily in the morning for northern ireland and scotland, with heavy showers breaking out in wales, western england, and sun developing as well. so is a risk of seeing these heavy downpours and hail under the gusty winds as well, but some fairly pleasant sunny spells in between with temperatures in the mid to low teens, where it will be for the rest of the week. into wednesday evening, some of the showers will fade, but that will continue overnight, particularly across north—western parts of scotland. another chilly start on thursday morning, a bright start for many of us. showers again in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. but for the rest of england and wales, there will be fewer showers around during thursday, so more of us is giving them and staying dry. still times when there is a gusty, westerly wind. a slightly different weather on friday, because we are watching an area of low pressure coming up

to the south—west. that will fade rain northwards. there is uncertainty about how far north that rain will get. a stiffening breeze, with cloud and outbreaks of rain in england and wales, and parts of northern ireland, especially the east, southern areas of scotland may be, and elsewhere in scotland there will be some sunny spells, especially the further north. but again a risk of seeing some heavy showers. temperatures if anything come down a few degrees. if you look into the weekend, it is looking quite cool. swirl of wind around low pressure, so it is unsettled. we are in the blue, too, so a cool and unsettled weekend to come. that's your forecast. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm: donald trump and president macron suggest a new deal with iran could be considered, though the us president warned of big problems for tehran if it resumes its nuclear programme. if iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid.

the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has met withjewish community leaders this evening as he tries to reassure them that he is tackling anti—semitism within labour. police in canada have charged a man with ten counts of murder, after a van was driven into pedestrians in toronto. this was the moment he was arrested. tsb has apologised to the bank's millions of customers, after days of it problems left many frozen out of their accounts.
