you're watching beyond one hundred days. donald trump's silence on the death ofjohn mccain prompts criticism in the us. while the rest of the world pays tribute to a man who still believed in american leadership around the globe. flags across america are lowered to half mast — except at the white house, where they were raised just one day after the senator died. we'll be talking to former defense secretary william cohen, who knewjohn mccain well. goodbye nafta — donald trump says he wants to get rid of the name and the deal after reaching an agreement with mexico on a new bilateral trade arrangement. also on the programme... a retired vatican ambassador to the united states says the pope was aware of — and covered up — abuse allegations levelled at the former archbishop of washington. there are calls for the pope to resign. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is back in prison in iran. the second time she has been seperated from her infant daughter. we'll ask her husband where they go now? and i guarantee the woman in washington is katty kay, but is this melania trump?

or is it a body double? get in touch with us using the hashtag... hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. even in deathjohn mccain is making his presence felt. the white house's decision to raise the flag back up from half mast afterjust one day has been widely criticised as disrespect for an american hero. the fact that mr trump is not invited to senator mccain's funeral says all you need to know about the bitter divide between the two men. however, george w bush and barack obama, who both defeated mccain in his presidential bids, have been asked to give eulogies. in death, as in life, he works across the aisle to make a point. there aren't any politicians quite like him left in the senate. as he liked to say himself, he really was a maverick. commanderjohn mccain.

commanderjohn mccain. john mccain was not perfect and he was too human for that. but his decision to refuse out the release from a hanoi prison because other prisoners were being held longer, made him a hero, whatever he did let her in life. —— later in life. mccain pushed hard for the war in. we are united in our resolve to confront saddam hussein and send a message to that we are serious about doing so. —— to iraq. history proved him right in other ways. i do believe that a clear and firm commitment on the part of the united states government that we

will not only do not torture but we will not only do not torture but we will not only do not torture but we will not treat people in a cruel or inhumane fashion is absolutely vital, otherwise it's difficult for young people to differentiate between ourselves and our adversarial. it took courage to defy president bush and denounce torture. in fact, he was the only republican senator to do so. sarah pailin from the great state of alaska. less courageous was his choice in 2008 to nominate the inexperienced sarah palin as his running mate, a craven bid to excite the conservative base. she made it a dispiriting campaign. while mccain put down racist attacks against berwick obama. .. he is an arab. he's not? no, he is a decent, family man, citizen that ijust happen to have disagreement with on fundamental issues. sarah pailin

pandered to the worst of nativist prejudice, telling media that barack obama was packed palin around with terrorists. he may have lost anyway but choosing sarah pailin may have been the worst political mistake ever made. and he recognised it. america mourned mccain's death and now the world mourns him, too. he was seen as now the world mourns him, too. he was seen as a now the world mourns him, too. he was seen as a defiant believer in the valleys of american leadership. and in this year of isolation and uncertain dolan uncertainty, this grumpy senator from arizona will be missed more than ever. just a short time ago rick davis — who wasjohn mccain's campaign manager — read out a letter from the late senator. do not despair in our present difficulties. we believe always in the greatness of america because nothing is inevitable here. americans never quit, we never

surrender, we americans never quit, we never surrender, we never americans never quit, we never surrender, we never hide from history. we make history. farewell, fellow americans. god bless you. and god bless america. the words there ofjohn mccain being read by his former campaign manager, saying goodbye. with us now is former us defense secretary william cohen, who knewjohn mccain well — so well, in fact, that he was best man for his wedding to cindy. he also served with him in the senate. describe your relationship with him. it was one in which i owe him a great deal. number one, i was proud to have been his best man, one of the great happy days of my life. it will be a saturday this weekend when i helped bury him. — it was —— will bea i helped bury him. — it was —— will be a sad day. he was irreverent, but full of joy be a sad day. he was irreverent, but full ofjoy and be a sad day. he was irreverent, but full of joy and of life. be a sad day. he was irreverent, but full ofjoy and of life. it was exhilarating to be in his presence. you knew you were on a journey,

mission, you're going to have fun while doing it. the resilience that he represented inspire people. that's what a leader does come cause people to look up and be inspired rather than putting gauge —— rather than to engage in conduct which divides people by fear. he was an individual who could forget his enemies, if you think about the fact of what he went through 45 and a half years and yet with readers to establish relations with vietnam —— what he went through for five and a half years, what he went through for five and a half yea rs, very what he went through for five and a half years, very few people would have that courage, and he did it at great cost because he was being accused of being a manchurian candidate and the attacks were unrelenting on him but he did it for the right reason. he does seem to represent an america of a slightly different era. expect our viewers around the world where there is so

much tension onjohn mccain and what he meant for this country and america's role in the world. outta nowhere! what he represented was that america is that beacon. -- what he rep isn't it was america as a beacon. saying to the world, this is a country that believes in the rule of law, democracy, freedom for all, equality for all. he represented that. and again, it was inspirational that he would take on all of the autocrats, the dictators, the people who would suppress the human spirit. john was willing to ta ke human spirit. john was willing to take it on at all costs. and so it was a joyous experience to have known him, to be with him, and now to say goodbye to him. some very warm tributes are being paid by european leaders in the last few days. emmanuel macron, the french president, called him the great american hero. clearly they mourn him because many new and respected him, but!

him because many new and respected him, but i sense they also mourned the multilateralism he stood for. absolutely. john was a trans—atlanticist. absolutely. john was a tra ns—atla nticist. he believed absolutely. john was a trans—atlanticist. he believed in the need for the united states to have a strong relation, strong allies, that the united states could not be a force for good in the world u nless we not be a force for good in the world unless we had friends. and countries who believed and share our values. and he travelled the world to reinforce those values. and that is why i think you're seeing such an outbreak of support for him all the way to asia and back. not only a europe but across the globe, they soughtjohn as someone standing up for the little people, people who we re for the little people, people who were oppressed, people who were denied human rights. and people who are suffering. sojohn was a hero to millions of people he rolled over andi millions of people he rolled over and i think that is why so many world leaders are speaking out. —— millions of people the world over. people are saying, what a loss it has been, to all of us. so we are

all diminished by this. for whom the bell tolls, john would say it tolls for him, it tells for me because we are all part of the human condition, the human race, and when one of us dies, especially one likejohn, we are all diminished by that. so the bell tolls for oliver. we all focused -- the bell tolls for all of us. focused -- the bell tolls for all of us. russell weir focus on the greatness ofjohn us. russell weir focus on the greatness of john ruddy us. russell weir focus on the greatness ofjohn ruddy than the smallest what has been happeningm the white house. but what does his funeral tells but define the message he wanted to get across? well, turn to the poets to capture the essence ofjohn mccain, i read tennyson's ulysses. and innocents, that is what john was, ulysses in the sense that he believes how boring, how dull it would be to rest. to not shine in

use. and to seek, to strive, to do, to find, and not to yield. so i think this past year has been all of that. he was not willing to give up, he was willing to fight to the end but when it finally became time, he said, enough. and his great hero, one of his great heroes was hemingway. the characters in hemingway. the characters in hemingway and john was a great romantic. and hemingway wrote that the world breaks everyone. but afterwards, many are strong in the broken places. john was strong at all the broken places. and for that reason, he stands out among many a world over as unique and someone to be given tributes as he has been given today. thank you very much. for joining given today. thank you very much. forjoining us as a member and your friend for us. one of the things also that we should say is that he had a wicked sense of humour. he

loved playing pranks on people. he could be fantastic... 0 could be fantastic... o dear! that doesn't often happen, catty disappearing from the screens. we will see if we can get her back. but glowing tributes forjohn mccain from his friend who was the best man at his wedding. financial markets are up on news that the white house has reached a deal with mexico on a new trade agreement. the president says he now wants to get rid of the name nafta because it has bad connotations. talks with canada — the other party to nafta — are now expected to begin immediately. the three north american trading partners have been negotiating for over a year after mr trump made it clear he wanted to get rid of the 24—year—old trilateral free trade deal. the president celebrated the arrangement with mexico but it does still need to be ratified by congress which has the power to say yes or no to any new deal. i'd like to call this deal the united states mexico trade agreement.

i think it's an elegant name. i think nafta has lot of bad connotations for the united states because there was a rip—off, there was a deal that was a horrible deal for country. and i think it's got a lot of bad connotations to a lot of people. and we will probably, you and i will agree to the name. we will see whether or not we decided to put up canada orjust do a separate deal with canada if they want to make the deal. i'm back! technical hitch, it happens on live television. joining us now from new york is our correspondent nada tawfik. he says he doesn't like the name nafta because of bad connotations, is it really just nafta because of bad connotations, is it reallyjust that he would prefer bilateral deals than multilateral because he feels those are giving america a rough ride? certainly president trump has signalled he would be and today in the oval office, he said canada

could join the agreementjoin the agreement or the united states could impose tough tariffs on automobiles on canada. that is certainly what the president is saying but he's kind of clinging to predict ability to give his negotiators a tougher hand in talks. —— clinging to unpredictability. people think this is what he's doing here, business leaders even mexico themselves have said they do want canada in any final agreement. avril, industries in north america really do rely on the three countries and their businesses throughout. so many people including republicans in congress do you want canada to be pa rt congress do you want canada to be part of a final deal. but this is the president sitting here bragging, saying, many people thought i wouldn't be able to get a deal with mexico and here we are, we have one, it isa mexico and here we are, we have one, it is a major step. details are still a little sketchy but part of the agreement dollar mac disagreement with mexico, let's say, was over car manufacturing. —— part

of the disagreement with mexico. and now we are reading that at least 75% ofa now we are reading that at least 75% of a car's value will have to come from north america to qualify for a zero tariffs. that is exactly right. president trump has said this was the worst trade agreement in history, he was very much concerned with how this affected manufacturers in the united states and wanting to really dissuade companies from sending cheaper labour, manufacturing cheaper labour in mexico. there is not only, as you say, makes 75% of all took components have to be made in america, it also really says that 40% of the vehicles have to be manufactured in high wage manufacturing facilities that would pay upwards of $16 per hour. so the trump administration is saying this is good for labour. —— good for labour. but they have said that they

wa nted labour. but they have said that they wanted to kind of automatically expire after five years of the party didn't want to keep it going, now the administration is saying the agreement will keep in place for 16 yea rs agreement will keep in place for 16 years and they willjust reviewed every six years. pope francis stands accused of covering up the sex crimes of theodore mccarrick, the ex cardinal and former archbishop of washington. the allegation comes from the vatican's former papal nuncio to the united states, archbishop carlo maria vigano. in a devestating 11 page letter, that was released to coincide with the pope's weekend visit to ireland, the archbishop says he had warned the pope about the scale of mccarrick‘s abuse and was ignored. he has called on the pope to resign. in his letter, archbishop vigano says the newly elected pope had asked him in 2013 what cardinal mccarrick was like. joining us now, religion correspondent for national public radio. i differjoining us. how serious is this for pope francis? —— thank you forjoining us. it's very serious, and i say that without passing judgment on the accuracy or credibility of what archbishop

vigano said. the fact of who he is and what he claimed alone makes this and what he claimed alone makes this a bombshell kind of act is asian. there are a lot of people out there saying that his words should be taken with a large grain of salt. —— this is a bombshell accusation. but the fact that he said this and called on pope francis to resign means it will have tremendous repercussions on a matter what. vigano is sent off a controversial figure. he's very conservative and has been a cryptic of this pope, we should put that out there. —— critic of this pope. we can see him with journalists on the plane, travelling with him to ireland, the pope's response was to say, i'm not saying a word about this, yourjournalists, you can figure that out for yourselves. was that a satisfactory response from the pope? it didn't seem so response from the pope? it didn't seem so to me. i don't think that'll be the last response from the vatican to these accusations. the

pope may felt that this kind of little impromptu press conference on the plane was not the way or the place to address these accusations. i think he wanted to take the higher road. he also wanted, i think, journalists to certain date into the statement and into the history of archbishop vigano's pass. —— sort of dig into. buti archbishop vigano's pass. —— sort of dig into. but i do think the accusations the archbishop raised will have to be answered at some point. he listed many names, very important names of high—level people in the vatican hierarchy, who he said new about this cover—up were complicit in it for sub and i think there is going to have to be some kind of response to it. and i'm guessing what the pope wanted journalists to do is sort of do what you have just done, journalists to do is sort of do what you havejust done, point journalists to do is sort of do what you have just done, point out that this guy has a long history of being a very fierce critic of the pope and therefore the suggestion may be that he is trying to take advantage of

this broad over clergy abuse, to really get some beverage in his long—standing campaign to discredit pope francis. douglas gets leveraged. but the timing of the letter is interesting, coming as it does the end of the island visit. just topped us a little bit about the divisions within the church. is the divisions within the church. is the conservative wing of the vatican that are unhappy with the attitude, the pope and the more liberal branch has shown towards homosexuality? that's absolutely right. this pope has been a very controversial figure within catholic little circles for a long time. he has many adverse areas here in the united states and around the world and. —— many adversaries. but the abuse scandal has brought this out in a particular way, which is that you have a very clear disagreement between the sort of right and the left on what is the

root cause of this clergy abuse scandal. on the left, the pope and his followers would say the problem is clerical is, that is, and you credibility —— undue credibility given to the clergy, putting them on pedestal and not listening to what lay catholics say. on the right, many say the root problem is homosexuality and the problem is that the church hierarchy has become in recent years to tolerant of gay priests and of homosexuality, more generally. this is the real cleavage that has been brought into sharp relief with this latest development. thank you forjoining us. vigano is a controversialfigure, the question will be whether these accusations are correct or whether they are false and that is what further investigation will produce, whoever is making them. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe spent three short days

with her young daughter. but yesterday, despite hopes the iranian authorities might prolong her release, she was sent back to prison. in the end she decided to go voluntarily rather than be dragged out of the house in front of gabriella. this photo was taken as she said goodbye to her daughter. nazanin was arrested in april 2016 at tehran airport as she was heading back to britain with her daughter after visiting her family. her future now seems as unclear at is was before the weekend. we're joined by nazanin's husband richard ratcliffe. he has been a regular on our programme, and! he has been a regular on our programme, and i really hoped we we re programme, and i really hoped we were going to be speaking under better circumstances. tell me first what happened on sunday. there were reports she thought the period was going to be extended and anything to change? yes, we had a happy first they were she was released all of a sudden and we were enjoying it and we we re sudden and we were enjoying it and we were told, don't worry, three days to begin with but we are sure it will be extended, and then we we re it will be extended, and then we were told you will need to come down as well, she went down and then the prosecutor said one final signature

but it's fine, go home, you want me to go to prison today. and then on the way home she got telephoned by her interrogators, who had been calling everyday, and said he had been well—behaved to your free to 90, been well—behaved to your free to go, got home, different phone call, no, sorry, back to prison. so she went immediately back to the prosecutors to try and plead with them, to get real and the severity. it seems especially cruel that having met the daughter she had been taken away from at such a young age, gabriella was only, what, one when her mum went into prison? and then to have this meeting and wrench her away, that is particularly cruel. what are you hearing from the british government? it is tough to ta ke british government? it is tough to take and obviously we will appreciate the two days we had together but right now it is hurting. they knew she was going in, they got in contact to say sorry it isn't working out, the foreign secretary had asked for it to be

extended and called. and at this point it's bewildering that she was let out for such a short time. it does raise hopes and then dash them. so we pop into the foreign office as to what they understand is going on and what's next stop —— we are talking. others have been released on similarfurloughs talking. others have been released on similar furloughs which got extended, everyone hoped that would be the same case with nazanin. the concern is that because she is now a high—profile prisoner that that will make it harder to get her out for longer? i think it is double-edged, her high profile. it clearly makes it more companies are for things to go forward. as you say, other prisoners got out for longer and she didn't, there was an example made of her. but at the same time, i think it protect her and her family, her. but at the same time, i think it protect her and herfamily, that she is in the light means that other than might be threats that get made, nothing actually happens. i mean, i've been on your show and many

shows trying to campaign, i firmly believe that that is important for keeping her and her parents say. ok. the dash keeping them safe. thank you forjoining us and we wish nazanin and gabriella bidvest, i hope she gets out soon thank you. the internet loves a good conspiracy story — especially when it comes to president trump and his wife melania. or is it melania? this story of the first lady having a body double comes around every few months but the pictures from this weekend are particularly intriguing. so here's a picture of melania getting onto marine 1. and here's the video of her getting off. same clothes. some people are convinced the woman walking alongside donald trump is not his wife. it might stretch credibility somewhat to suggest that one of the president's bodyguards swapped his suit for that skirt — as some have suggested. not sure i have ever met a bodyguard with legs like that.

looked very carefully at the wrists and hands, they would have to be nail varnish painted on. so i'm not buying that the roof. but she does look somewhat different. kristian, i think you have too much time! what on earth are you doing, minutely studying das i've been scrambling to organise questions on the pope and think aboutjohn mccain and you're sitting that at whether the bodyguard has the same rights as another bodyguard and had time to get their mail polished and? i'm not a conspiracy theories, full disclosure, i find it a conspiracy theories, full disclosure, ifind it very a conspiracy theories, full disclosure, i find it very hard to believe that she got under helicopter the size of this desk and suddenly disappeared and someone else got off. come on! different parting, as well, just say! this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news...

we will look at a report calling for top military figures in myanmar to be prosecuted for genocide after investigators released evidence of the widespread murder, rape and torture of rohingya muslims. that's still to come. hello there, after sunday was so good, today better, drier and brighter. the rest of the sunshine across the south—west of england. yesterday, resold as regional high—pressure building in, which brought a unsettled weather from most of us. —— finance settled. but for this week, i think largely dry, little warmer thanks to the main

influence of high pressure this week. a dry end to the day, through the night it looked like it will be dry with clear spells developing quite widely. the southern half of the country could see mist and fog developing, the east side of scotla nd developing, the east side of scotland could be chilly, and the north—east of england. but for the north—west, whether from north—east of england. but for the north—west, whetherfrom moving in means cloudier and windier with eventually some rain arising during the afternoon and that will continue to sing south—eastwards. generally, bright start in england and wales, couples are to build up but it should stay largely dry. cloud in the mainland scotland, maybe a little brightness pushing into the outer hebrides later. after chilly start, bright day, temperatures 17-18. start, bright day, temperatures 17—18. maybe some brightness for eastern and northern ireland —— eastern and northern ireland —— easter and northern ireland. across southern counties the warmest. temperatures 19—22. dry and to d—day

for most but the weather front will continue to push south—eastwards, tending to fizzle out as it does so. i want to draw your attention to this area of low pressure on the new continent, bit of a headache how far westwards this system will push but it looks like it will bring some rain to the south—east corner of england as it pushes off into the north sea. meanwhile, this weather front continues today death and become no more than a band of cloud with a few showers as it reaches the south—east later on wednesday. brighter and drier behind it, maybe call cold pressure, temperatures 21 in the south—east. at the end of the week, high—pressure largely dominating so it should stay dry with variable cloud and some sunny spells. this is beyond one hundred days. our top stories... flags across america are lowered to half mast, except at the white house, where they were raised afterjust a day.

a retired vatican ambassador to the united states says the pope was aware of and covered up abuse allegations levelled at the former archbishop of washington. now there are calls for the pope to resign. coming up in the next half hour. un human rights investigators criticise myanmar‘s leader aung san suu kyi over the country's treatment of rohingya muslims and calls for military leaders to be charged with genocide. a leaked memo reveals the people's vote campaign is approaching the labour party to persuade it to back plans for a new referendum. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond0nehundreddays. just two days after the death of senatorjohn mccain, president trump is facing criticism for not continuing to fly the us flag at half—staff at the white house and elsewhere. it was lowered at the weekend, but raised again today, far earlier than would normally be the case. our correspondent nick bryant reports. washington withoutjohn mccain

is a lesser place. he was a human landmark in this city, an american hero whose broken body personified the land of the brave. flags at the us capital remained at half staff in honour of his sacrifice and service. but at the white house where the flag was lowered at the weekend, no such act of ongoing remembrance today. ordinarily when a figure of the stature ofjohn mccain passes away, the us president issues a proclamation, ordering flags to remain at half—mast until the burial. but donald trump chose not to do that, and he also stopped white house aides from issuing a written statement calling the former pow a hero. in a tweet, donald trump paid his deepest sympathies and respect to the mccain family, but had no kind words for the man himself. thank you enrique and congratulations, and

congratulations, that's a fantastic thing... and today he praised the mexican president as they announced a new trade deal but refused to pay tribute to one of america's most revered figures. shouting. john mccain survived nearly six years as a prisoner of war in vietnam and turned down the offer of early release even though he was being tortured. but when donald trump ran for the presidency he mocked the former navy pilot. he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, ok? i hate to tell you. john mccain was a fierce critic of the trump presidency and the flag row symbolises a broader debate as to who best embodies the values of modern america. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. joining us now from new york is our political analyst and former advisor to george w bush ron christie. donald

bush ron christie. trump and john mccain, profiles donald trump and john mccain, profiles of two very different people? good afternoon, i could not have said it any better. john mccain embodied what the true sense of being an american hero is. he also embodies the spirit of the united states naval academy, where he attended — duty, on, country. the fa ct attended — duty, on, country. the fact that the president of the united states doesn't see fit to pay tribute tojohn mccain, that the flags are back at full staff at the white house, says a lot about president trump's character or in my case, lack there of two double —— lack there of. you have worked on capitol hill for a long time, i'm sure you spent a lot of time with john mccain, what i loved about him was that he could be fantastically grumpy, to the edge of being rude, it but he would get over it straightaway, and he had a cracking sense of humour, he was fun to be around because you never quite knew what he was going to do, he was impish? you never exactly knew what

he was going to do or say next. ireland when i worked for president bush, he sent me up to speak with senator mccain to negotiate an act and he looked at me and said, bush sent you?! am i supposed to negotiate with you?! and then he cracks that impish smile of his and we sit down and... of course, why don't we get that bill through? he did it in a bipartisan way, just one example. if you worked with him, man, he would go all out to make sure he would accomplish what the president asked him to do. the arizona governor, of course, there is going to be a special election down there but it will not be held for some time so the governor of arizona has quite a difficult choice over the next few weeks to make, does he choose a senator out of the mccain mould or one out of the trump mould? good evening to you, christian. to be perfectly honest buzz that i've been hearing on capitol hill is that the governor

might choose a senator in the mccain mould, other than of course his wife to fill the expired seat of her late husband. it will be very interesting to see what happens but i think you're going to find someone who actually is more of a mccain type, weather it is his wife or not, than a trump type. there are three candidates running for the republican primary, of course senatorjeff flake republican primary, of course senator jeff flake is republican primary, of course senatorjeff flake is standing down as well — what do you think that campaign tells us about the way the republican party is going, maybe it has already moved pastjohn mccain? i think it has. the three candidates who are running for that seat that you just mentioned are very hard on the right side of the political spectrum. they said very favourable things about president trump and the way that arizona is trending, it's still a reliably red state, a reliably conservatives takes. so i anticipate someone who will actually win that race will be more in the

trump mould rather than the mccain mould unlike the seat that needs to be filled in his absence. interesting to watch that one. as ever, ron christie, great to see you. as the state of arizona mourns the loss ofjohn mccain, voters there are also getting ready for a primary election tomorrow. the state's other republican senatorjeff flake decided not to seek reelection and that has set off a heated race to replace him. all the candidates in contention are outdoing each other to prove their conservative credentials, embracing tough policies on immigration and promising loyalty to president trump. the bbc‘s james cook reports. get back there, get back there! get back there! arizona in the time of trump. send all these people back! send all these people back to mexico! what the hell are they doing here? politics here is personal. the people united

will never be divided! one group is protesting about deportations. another is urging the government agency ice to raise even more immigrants. if democracy requires consent and compromise, then the united states is in trouble. they think that it should be an open border and everyone should come and go freely and, no. we are a sovereign nation and a nation without borders isn't a nation. what's your view on the immigration policies in this state and in the us generally? i think they're garbage. trash. in what way? there should be no borders. there should be no walls. we all migrated here. broadcasting from the southern border, this is the green line. immigration amplified donald trump's appeal and still animates his audience. now with your host... we have so many listeners in north america, central america... this border patrol agent's radio show lavishes praise on the president. we've defended the

president for so long. we've spoken well about the president. we've agreed with the president's policies. but read between the lines and all is not well with those policies, like the key campaign pledge of stopping illegal immigration. when president trump first took office, the numbers declined and that was our window to try to change some things, try to enforce things a little bit more thoroughly, and it wasn't done. and honestly, a lot of the agents, they see it, because of the leadership that was here is the same leadership that was here under the last president. i didn't say you can't come in. you can come in any time. you said i am not welcome. you're not welcome. 0k. all right, ok, let's go. tough talk on immigration is typified by this controversial former sheriff now running for senate. but it's a hard sell in a state where the hispanic population is more than 30% and rising. i think a lot of people don't like our president, including some republicans. i hate to use this word

but i'm going to do it. ifeel there is a hatred towards our president, towards his policies, which are very good for this country. 26 years in uniform. she's taking the fight to the enemy and the establishment. the favourite to win the republican primary is martha mcsally, a former fighter pilot. she was one of those republicans who did criticise mr trump — but not any more. my friend martha mcsally, she's the real deal, she is tough. like our president, i'm tired of pc politicians and their bs excuses. the republican candidates here in arizona have all come to the same conclusion, reluctantly or with enthusiasm. they can't win the nomination without cosying up to the president, and yet doing so may well damage their chances with the wider electorate. sometimes it's painful being the party of trump. this is beyond one hundred days.

still to come... the conference call that just won't connect. we've all been there — but this time it was the us president having trouble. new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least 5% in the coming months because of this year's extreme weather. the centre for economics and business research said the winter freeze followed by the recent heatwave had put huge strain on farming costs and yields. duncan kenendy has this report. 2018 has been a year of weather extremes, up from the beast in the east to the wilting temperatures of high summer. for many farmers, the buffeting of the seasons has brought pressures that will soon have an impact on consumers. now an economics research group says

farmers' costs and the struggle to produce enough food is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices and some dairy prices. between march and july, the farm gate price — the price of produce direct from the farmer — rocketed. carrots went up 80%. there was a a1% rise in the cost of onions. the wheat needed for bread went up 20%. and the price of butter climbed 24%. the researchers say all this has a knock—on effect and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, the monthly shopping bill will go up. we expect that it will cost uk consumers £16 million per week and that equates to £7.15 per month per household. the department for food and rural affairs told us it's not only the weather that

affects food prices. it says it is helping affected farmers and that some producers like high temperatures. but whether we swelter or shiver, we live in a climate—dependent food a climate—dependent food chain — and that has costs. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the united nations has called for top military figures in myanmar to be prosecuted for genocide after inspectors released evidence of the widespread murder, rape and torture of rohingya muslims. an estimated 700,000 rohingyas have fled the country in the past year. the report also criticises the country's leader, aung san suu kyi, forfailing to prevent the violence. it says she has also contributed to the commission of crimes. for years, aung san suu kyi was under house arrest

and her calls for non violent resistance to the military dictatorship made her a hero among human rights activists. joining us now is justin wintle, who wrote the perfect hostage, a biography of aung san suu kyi, and also by rushanara ali, the chair of the all—party parliamentary group on democracy in burma, who visited the rohingya camps in bangladesh last year. welcome to you both. first of all, justin wintle, how has aung san suu kyi gone... gone from an icon of democracy to this? it is a bit of a somersault, isn't it? if you trace theirfamily history, somersault, isn't it? if you trace their family history, her father, was really the creator of independent burma as it was then after the war, never had any time for muslims at all. and though so i think she has in terror inherited those attitudes. he died when she was two but her mother i think raised her to accept everything he

had said. i think there is something more dodgy foot, she gave a speech last november and her body language was very odd. and i got the impression, which was confirmed to me by sources afterwards that the army had basically told her, toe the line all we suspend parliament and we will restore direct military rule. it was the last sort of thing, she was under house arrest for so long, resisting the army. i think that she decided she wants to be queen bee, she wanted to be the national leader, the ethnic people of burma who are the majority of her andi of burma who are the majority of her and i think it is desperately sad, she is getting old now and not in good health but i find the whole thing quite apart from the horrific stories which have been coming out from the agencies over the last year. richard, you -- rushanara ali,

you have been a fierce critic of the diplomacy which has been going on andi diplomacy which has been going on and i know there is criticism of the british government but there is also fierce criticism of the role played by the un? that's right. the violence against the rohingya has gone on for a very violence against the rohingya has gone on for a very long time, in 2012 and then in 2016 and last year. a total of! million people have been forced out of burma into bangladesh and thousands were killed, women were raped, children we re killed, women were raped, children were killed in front of their parents, fathers were telling me earlier, last year i went to rakhine estate and the stories are halloween. so although the un has taken some time to get to the conclusion it has reached today in this report, which i welcome, because they have confirmed what many international institutions,

ngos many international institutions, ngos and human rights organisations, have stated already, that crimes against humanity and genocide has taken place. what we now need to move towards doing is ensuring that the international community leadership role and the uk is the deed member in the un security council and our government takes a lead role in holding the government there to account. uk government has been good on humanitarian issues and on responding to humanitarian crisis caused by the burmese military, but poor at holding the burmese military and burmese government to account. and that is what i am looking for next. so, rushanara ali, this is a very striking, graphic report and it points the finger at members of the burmese military, do you think the report in and of itself has teeth, do you think this will be a step on the way to the international criminal court? well, the proof will be in what the international community does as a response. we

have seen our foreign office minister putting out a statement but he is deferring responsibility back to the burmese government. now, that isjust not to the burmese government. now, that is just not acceptable, to the burmese government. now, that isjust not acceptable, because they are the perpetrators of what the un has two scripting as genocide. and to put it back to the burmese government to use its commission of inquiry, to hold itself to account, when it has been responsible for the mass murder, the rape, the burning down of villages, is just ridiculous. and that's what's shocking about some of the responses of governments like ours and so what we need to do is see our government ta ke we need to do is see our government take a leadership role and ensure that there is a coalition built up around europe but also with the support of the americans and others in the asean countries so that we get a referral to the international criminal court. if they don't, and i

have send this before and it has falle n have send this before and it has fallen on deaf ears, if they are not held to account ifjustice is not sought, then they will do it again. justin wintle, returning to aung san suu kyi, do you think she could make a difference? it does not sound to me that you are particularly optimistic that she will choose to speak out on behalf of the revenge for whatever reason but do you think is somebody who could make a difference? well, i don't know what she can do. the only solution that occurs to me is if she went into volu nta ry occurs to me is if she went into voluntary exile and opened up an office in london or washington or paris and then pre—started her criticism of the military. but she has shown no signs of doing that. she has made her bed and she is lying in it. just onjuan mata on the report, it's very forceful, nine months ago the un was talking about a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. it has now moved into genocide, which is a term... people are very

cautious about using it but they have done that and i applaud that. we have all known that these things have been going on. but probably the problem with the icc is that the way would be blocked by russia or china in the security council and if we can devise a way to persuade them to come aboard, then something can be done. thank you very much indeed the coming on. for those in the uk demanding a say on the final brexit deal, there's a campaign called the people's vote, which is now very much at the forefront. and a leaked memo, suggests they are attempting to change the policy of the opposition labour party. the campaign say they want mps and activists to submit a motion at labour's annual conference next month, demanding a second referendum. but does the country want a second vote? does the labour party? there seems to be little enthusiasm at the moment from the party leader jeremy corbyn. the memo was written by tom baldwin. he is the director of communications for the people's vote campaign and author of ctrl alt delete, which looks at the changing

relationship between the media and politics. and hejoin us now. ifi if i was a negotiator sitting in brussels and i knew that there was going to be a vote at the end of the process , going to be a vote at the end of the process, given how enthusiastic they are to keep britain within the eu, why on earth would i give britain adil? then it doesn't look like britain is going to get a great deal anyway. i think almost 90% of the british public now think that britain is heading for a bad deal, including the majority of conservative party supporters. the problem really isn't in brussels, it is with brexit itself, the people who campaigned for leave promised things that they can't deliver. and they spent two years speaking to themselves, negotiating with themselves, negotiating with themselves and now we are reaching themselves and now we are reaching the end and we are reaching a cliff edge with no deal, with no prospect of them being able to deliver the kind of things they promised, and it is worrying a lot of people. we

wouldn't have a campaign, our campaign would not even exist if things were going well. brexit is going very, very badly, people are worried and they want to, to coin a phrase, take back control of this botched process. tom pope you and i have spoken about this before, there are members of the labour party who voted to leave the european union in the brexit referendum and the labour leader, jeremy corbyn himself, is a pretty strong eurosceptic, so is it really possible to get the party to change its platform when it is not actually clear what it wants to do when it comes to the eu? well, it's not clear what the labour party's position is apart from the fact that it is moving in our direction and there is a reason for that. almost 78% i think it is in the latest poll of labour party members wanted a people's vote. 75% of labour party supporters want to stay in the european union. a similar proportion wa nt european union. a similar proportion want a people's vote. and most

interestingly, the poll that we published at the weekend shows that the 4 million voters which labour needs, its target voters, the people who will hold the keys to downing street forjeremy corbyn, they are disproportionately pro staying in the european union and pro people's vote. so it is notjust the right thing to do for the country it, it is also the right thing to do politically for the labour party at the moment. but you have still got to change jeremy the moment. but you have still got to changejeremy corbyn's my, he is still a eurosceptic? well, jeremy corbyn says he voted to remain and i believe him. i think the party is changing. there is nothing like an opinion poll of 10,000 people which we are commissioning at the moment to show that they are not going to wina to show that they are not going to win a general election with the current position they have on brexit. if you were a labour party supporters have you really want to inherit a brexit which makes this country poorer and means you can't end steady, where there is less money the public services like the nhs and your trashing the futures of

young people? ithink nhs and your trashing the futures of young people? i think that's not a progressive option at all. so, labour party supporters i think are beginning to realise that there isn't a good deal out there. there isn't a good deal out there. there isn't a good deal out there. there isn't a prospect of a soft brexit or a left brexit. there is a hard tory brexit being put forward by theresa may which nobody wants. or there is the prospect of no deal. now, if that's the choice which is being presented to parliament, i think it isa presented to parliament, i think it is a democratic failure. and in those circumstances, the only thing that people can really do is hand the decision back to the people through a people's vote and that is why our cause is gathering support and gathering momentum day by day. tom, we have to leave it there. the book is the ctrl alt delete, thank you very much forjoining us. the dreaded conference call. for those of you who work in an office, you'll know the feeling of technology never

working quite how it should, all too well. yes, and it's all the more awkward when you're the president of the united states. mr trump was trying to give the mexican president a call when this happened. the president is on the phone. enrique? you can hook him up. tell me when. how are you? it's a big thing. lot of people waiting. introducing mr president... hello? i love that, it's brilliant! this is the impression i have of what's going on in the basement of the white house. this was something someone white house. this was something someone sent white house. this was something someone sent round white house. this was something someone sent round today. just hold,

we will be right with you! brilliant! i should say, people in glass houses because we do a conference call with washington every morning and the same thing happens to be thin! yes, we can hardly talk! why didn't they fix it up hardly talk! why didn't they fix it up before they got the cameras rolling at least? or make sure that it was actually working?! it was the reassurance, it's going to be worth it...! this is going to be good...! anyway it did come eventually! we will see you at the same time tomorrow, thank you very much for watching. wales the cloud will stop to build up a little bit and it should stay

largely dry. this weather front will arrive across the north—west corner of the country. but this week i think largely dry and a little bit warmer thanks to the main influence of high pressure. it's going to be a dry end to the day and through the night. the southern half of the countries could see some mist and fog developing. for the north—west, that weather front moves in so it turns cloudy and windier with sandeman arriving during the afternoon period on tuesday. generally after a bright start across england and wales, the cloud will build up a little bit but it should stay largely dry. that rain band will be pushing into the

main area of scotland's. ahead of the rain band it should be a bright day with some sunshine. may be some brightness for eastern northern ireland before that weather front arrives. and the england and wales, similarto arrives. and the england and wales, similar to this afternoon with variable cloud. and then it's a dry end to the day for most. but this weather front continues to push south—eastwards, fizzling out as it does so. this is the weather front pushing south—eastwards. ijust want to draw your attention to this area of low pressure on the near content. it looks like it is going to bring some rain to the south—east corner of england as it pushes off into the north sea. meanwhile this weather front will continue to die a death. something bright and drier behind it. and then to end the week, high

pressure largely dominating so things will stay largely dry. good evening, this is bbc news, here are the latest headlines. the united nations says military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide against the country's rohingya muslims. west midlands police name a man they want to speak to, in connection with the murder of a mother and her daughter on the streets of solihull last night. food prices are expected to rise in the coming months, as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. also today. thousands of people join europe's biggest street festival on its second day. music and dancing came to a stop for 72 seconds at the notting hill carnival, to remember the victims of the grenfell tower fire. and coming up in half an hour on bbc news, weather world. this time we're in scotland. and we'll discover what scientists are doing to help protect
