you're watching beyond one hundred days. theresa may is touting her ability to make trade deals after brexit — starting in africa. there's serious profit to be found in these emerging economies, but only as equal partners — the colonial links now count for very little. mrs may has outlined britain's first post brexit trade deal in southern africa — rejecting criticism the uk has ignored the continent for too long. we are already the weakest investor in south africa and i want to see that growing in the future. after appeals from his own staff, donald trump reverses course, paying a late tribute to senatorjohn mccain and lowering the flag at the white house. also on the programme. donald trump thinks google is burying favourable news for the white house. the president is demanding greater transparency. # r-e-s-p-e-c-t! and the fans gather to pay respect to the the queen of soul, arethra franklin. get in touch with us

using the hashtag ‘beyond—one—hundred—days‘. hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. theresa may is on a trade mission to africa, a visit many think is long overdue. president macron of france has made nine trips to the continent since he became president. and angela merkel will arrive in nigeria shortly after mrs may leaves. the big western powers are taking a new interest. britain is already the second biggest aid donor to africa, after the united states. the plan is to use that aid to support private sector investment on the continent. but africa will never replace the trade the uk has with europe — britain's exports to the eu are £240 billion. combined annual exports to south africa and nigeria arejust 3 billion. still, the prime minister believes there is plenty of potential. one of the benefits of leaving the

eu is we will be able to negotiate oui’ eu is we will be able to negotiate our own trade deals in the future and we look to a global britain outside the eu making the most of those trade deals around the rest of the world. we already the biggest investor in south africa and i want to see that continue in the future. there is a good reason why europe and the united states are taking a keen interest. considerfor a moment some of these facts about the emerging economies. africa is home to 7 out of io of the world's fastest growing economies — it has the fastest growing middle class in the world — the continent has a population of over a billion — with 75% under the age of 35 — africa's middle—class is projected to grow to 1.1 billion by 2060 — and the average gdp for the last 5 years — 5.5%. the uk's growth for the same period was i.8%. we're joined now from toronto

by njeri rionge, ceo of upcountry africa fund assets corporation which aims to invest, in technology, education and infinancing projects across africa. she is from kenya and is regularly cited as the country's most successful entrepreneur. thank you forjoining us. how much benefit does the trade deal that theresa may has outlined today have not just for the uk theresa may has outlined today have notjust for the uk but theresa may has outlined today have not just for the uk but for the african countries she plans to invest in? i think the opportunity for the uk is grand for as long as the agenda and the partnership agreements and the structures of the deals are actually in favour of all parties and all the stakeholders. there is absolutely no reason why any investor investing on the continent today will not make a return because we've already seen this in the last five years. but it

has to be really based on equal opportunities for all. you have been involved with many of the companies that come to kenya, give us an example if you would of an investment that has gone wrong and why? an investment that did go wrong was raised on the premise that a fund manager and actual assets that we re fund manager and actual assets that were structured were operated by people who made sure that whatever they did did not provide any return for the actualfounder or they did did not provide any return for the actual founder or minority shareholders and what instead happened is that the structures were favourable to international investors but not to the local investors. this has happened consistently on many occasions, not just based on what is actually happened to me, based on the investment that the company i started back in 1999. and i know

that this is a very tricky conversation to be having because we are in court so i cannot speak about things but i can say i have seen this first hand. to put it bluntly, companies have come to africa, private investments, and plundered rather than allowing the profits back into african communities. absolutely and there are many exa m ples of absolutely and there are many examples of such types of arrangements where the investment actually comes in to support investors or support the people who will work within those companies who get paid huge salaries and they do not even transfer this back to the organisations that they put money into. and this happens particularly within the development fund opportunities and ngos. theresa may outlined for billion—dollar investment from the uk and back into

the 14 china proposed $175 billion the 1a china proposed $175 billion of investment in africa over the course of ten years. in your assessment and looking at the way these investments are done would you rather the money came from the united kingdom or from rather the money came from the united kingdom orfrom china or does it not matter? i think really it does not matter where it comes from but what matters is the structure of the investment itself. to be honest and sincere i think the uk will come with a set of skills and capacity is and nuances that they understand the market well since they were the first colonisers in some cases and of course china will come into play as well based on other skill sets. so it is important first to say that the continent is open for business but open for business to do business with investors that actually are interested in having a level playing field in the arrangements and returns as well as the opportunities

for transferring skills while at it. thank you very much. the stock market is booming, an important new us trade deal looms and his poll numbers are rising — there is plenty of good news for president trump to focus on. instead he got embroiled yesterday in what looked like a personal vendetta against a dead senator, irritating members of his own party, angering military veterans and being forced to back down over flying the white house flag at half mast. we are used to drama in this white house but it's hard to see what good the past 2a hours did mrtrump. his refusal to honour senatorjohn mccain won him few friends and he was eventually pushed into giving a much belated tribute. this morning his defence secretary general mattis had no such reservations. in all he did, senator mccain never lost sight of our shared purpose in defence of freedom. for in his words, and i quote, a shared purpose does not claim our identity, it enlarges, on the contrary,

it enlarges your sense of self. so our nation has lost a great patriot and our military has lost one of our most ardent supporters. john mccain's loss will have a huge impact on the pentagon. as a former service member, and pow, he had the military‘s back — butjust as important he had the credibility to stand up to generals. joining us now from new york is former cia director —and former head of us central command in afghanistan — general david petraeus. thank you forjoining us. i want to get on to the hole butjohn mccain leads in the pentagon in a second but what you make of president trump and his conduct in the past 2a hours? it is inexplicable, the sleep there are times when one should rise above differences and i think that

death is one of those times and so it is heartening to see the flag eventually lowered and the president reading the proclamation because i'm very much of the mind with my old shipmate and buddy from military timesjim shipmate and buddy from military times jim mattis on shipmate and buddy from military timesjim mattis on the extraordinary legacy left by senator mccain. what impact does his death have on the us military because as we said he was a huge supporter of us troops, he visited them co nsta ntly a rou nd us troops, he visited them constantly around the world and he was a big supporter of us engagement around the world but he did stand up to generals when he felt necessary whether on an issue like defence spending or most famously on torture. i cannot think of anyone else in the senate who has that position. well he has a great moral authority on a number of topics given his own servers and particularly his time as a prisoner of war. when it came to the issue of torture. and i note that i was very much with him on that issue for a

variety of reasons. and thankfully he was one of the great supporters of the surge that i was privileged to command in iraq and also in afghanistan as well as ferries initiatives during my time in uniform put up with sore great deal of him and as you noted no one had oui’ of him and as you noted no one had our backs in combat more than he did in the 18 orso our backs in combat more than he did in the 18 or so years of this particular century and particularly in the wake of the september 11 attacks. he did an enormous amount to ensure that our soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines had the means they needed to prevail on the battlefield and we had the right strategy. remember he was critical of the bush administration on iraq prior to the surge and very supportive thereafter. but he did not hesitate to challenge anyone, he did not hesitate to challenge people

who equivocated, who dodged a tough question or what have you got up i saw that first on numerous occasions dating all the way back to when i was chairman of the joint chief of staff ‘s in the army and my own experiences with them were tha nkfully experiences with them were thankfully he was an extraordinary supporter of what it was we were trying to do. in fact in the wake of the surge in iraq and remember rephrasing the old line about if you wa nt rephrasing the old line about if you want a friend in washington get a dog but i said if you want a real friend in washington get senator mccain. and by the way he brings the dog as well! he used to come every 4th ofjuly two afghanistan and i wa nt to 4th ofjuly two afghanistan and i want to show one of his visits in 2011. baghdad as well. i was there as commander at that time in 2011 andi as commander at that time in 2011 and i knew it was the last time in uniform that i would see him on the 4th ofjuly uniform that i would see him on the 4th of july having

uniform that i would see him on the 4th ofjuly having spent ten of them in iraq or afghanistan myself and he had been at everyone and probably the other three as well stop ijust wa nt to the other three as well stop ijust want to show people his comments about you. i have had the honour of knowing some wonderful and outstanding military leaders in our country including my own family. i have never known someone with a combination of intellectual capacity and leadership ability as general david petraeus, it's an honour to have known him. and you were sitting just left. he liked what you were doing in afghanistan but did not like what the current president is doing in afghanistan and in fact came up with his own strategy in 2017. so that sacrifice that he was honouring, is it worth it and is the current administration doing enough to merit? i think you need to start

with remembering why we went to afghanistan and why we have stayed because it is quite straightforward, thatis because it is quite straightforward, that is where the al-qaeda senior leadership planned the september the 11th attacks, where they enjoyed sanctuary under taliban rule in eastern afghanistan and also where the initial training of the attackers was conduct it. and the mission and we went there in the first place and the mission that has enjoyed is to make sure that al-qaeda and now other islamist extremists cannot re—establish the kind of sanctuary which they had when the taliban ruled the country. it is an extraordinary challenging mission, i had confirmation to be, under their and i said we would not be able to do what we did in iraq during the surge when we really flipped the country and transformed it and reduced violence by some 85%. the sanctuaries of the enemy headquarters outside of afghanistan,

the backward nature frankly of the infrastructure, the lack of ready income, immature in every respect when it comes to governance. but nonetheless a very important mission andi nonetheless a very important mission and i was heartened when the president did not continue to draw down, first president obama holds at it and then of course president trump added a modest number of additional forces, trump added a modest number of additionalforces, which is some restrictions on the use of air power and also said additional enablers to that country. many of us have been on the receiving end ofjohn mccain's sharper tongue. he had the full range of emotions! and he put them ball out there. but none more so them ball out there. but none more so than with president trump. does this president in particular perhaps need somebody likejohn this president in particular perhaps need somebody like john mccain this president in particular perhaps need somebody likejohn mccain in the senate who is prepared to speak his mind and prepared to be critical

when he thinks that wrong is being done? i think again senator mccain has been very bipartisan in his commentary on occupants of the white house. including previous republican residents as well, that may be more marked certainly with this administration and in many respects administration and in many respects a very important voice of temperance that he will, of rising above differences and remembering extraordinary freedoms and blessings that we enjoy and certainly reminding our country of the important role but we have in the world. john mccain was after all very much one who saw and believed in american exceptionalism and believed american should continue to lead the rules —based international plan and that could be the big loss in this case that is a time when not just the president of the united states but other americans question whether it is really worth

continuing to lead this rules —based international order is it really worth it to stay in the wto, you name it, whatever international organisation, what have you put up he was a very important voice as one who does believe and i believe that the role of america in the world is very significant and in fact if we do not continue to lead along with oui’ do not continue to lead along with our partners especially the uk and others, the rules —based international water, that other countries would be happy to do so. but the rules may be altered if that is the case. thank you very much for joining us. my pleasure. thousands of fans of the legendary soul singer, aretha franklin, are turning out today to file past the body of aretha franklin in her hometown of detroit. the star, who died just over a week ago at the age of 76, will lie in an open casket for two days at the city's african—american history museum before the funeral on friday. the bbc‘s rajini vaidyanathan is in detroit and we can cross to her now.

0f of course people are very sad about the passing of arethra franklin but also some joyous scenes with people singing the songs she will be remembered for? the mood is more musical than morose, this is a celebration of the life of arethra franklin and kicks off today with the open casket viewing which goes on until tomorrow here at the museum and then her body will move to the new bethel baptist church where her father was a preacher and flair as a young girl she first sang. people had been camping out here from the early hours of the morning and it was just after seven o'clock that a large white cadillac drove up to the museum and out of it emerged a golden casket, many people joking that intrude arethra franklin style she made quite the entrance. people as you say have been gathering here,

singing songs in celebration of the voice and the legend that was arethra franklin. i got to speak to one such singer, angela davis, a detroit local who said her entire singing career was inspired by the queen of soul. # what you want? # baby, i got it! # what you need? # you know i got it. # all i'm asking is for a little respect when you come home. # hey, baby. # when you get home, mister. # r-e-s-p-e-c-t - find out what it means to me... # hard to stay still here because people are just breaking out into spontaneous singing. angela davis has quite the boys and she's going to be performing on thursday at an outdoor tribute concert to arethra

franklin here in the city and i have been getting people to sing their own tributes on twitter. i have been asking you in the studio if you would sing your own tributes! that video clip has not emerged yet, i am waiting! you could be waiting a long time! i'm almost tone deaf, that would be bad, we would lose all three of our viewers! that would be a shame. lost for words, i've never seen that before! mr trump was up early this morning bemoaning the political bias of social media. the president accused the internet platforms of being against conservatives and him in particular. and, yes, he made the accusation on his favourite social media platform twitter. google search results for trump news shows only

the viewing/reporting of fake new media. in other words, they have it rigged, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is bad. fake cnn is prominent. republica n/conservative & fair media is shut out. illegal? 96% of... results on trump news are from national left—wing media, very dangerous. google & others are suppressing voices of conservatives... ron christie is with us. former adviser to george w bush. you have been doing some work with twitter on the subject, is the president right but social media, a liberal bastion skewed against the voices of conservatives? good afternoon. i do not think that they are, i think it is all about how you as the user select to be on a particular platform, be it twitter, facebook or what have you. i can tell you

however there a fire storm brewing on capitol hill as relating to twitter and whether they discriminate against conservatives. attract this cold shadow banning. and my work with the ceo having spent several hours with him i can tell you he believes strongly that the platform does not discriminate against conservatives but it is a perception problem they have been working hard to try to fix. perception problem they have been working hard to try to fixlj perception problem they have been working hard to try to fix. i know for a long time conservatives have felt but they didn't have their voice in one they called the liberal mainstream media and that that video organisations based in new york and washington and on the west coast tended to represent more liberal points of view. is that the same argument that conservatives are feeling, that they're not getting their voices out there?” feeling, that they're not getting their voices out there? i think so, there is a sense that number one the conservatives if they are talked about at all it is done in a derogatory manner and second if they are part of the conversation there being shut out entirely. certainly

platforms like twitter and facebook need to take a look and make sure that they have a healthy environment so that they have a healthy environment so all users regardless of little or ideology have an equal voice on the platform. but this is something that will continue to be a work in progress. i have been doing some digging, this article was written last week in the new york post by a right—wing columnist and she wrote a piece about mr trump and his supporters and whether they would can ca re supporters and whether they would can care about the convictions of paul manafort last week and within a short space of time she says that it was removed and 90 minutes later it reappeared after concerns were expressed. she said either there are people complaining about it in which case why do people have such power before facebook looked at it and otherwise she wonders if there is a

liberal background among people working for facebook and theyjust ta ke working for facebook and theyjust take it off if they do not like it. i cannot speak about facebook but i can say about twitter that is not a back room headquarters in san francisco we a bunch of people moderating content and trying to ta ke moderating content and trying to take it down based on political ideology. the way some of these conversations are filtered is due to land algorithm and as a lawyer and english major i. right there talking about algorithms. but there is a concern that there are some people in back rooms of families platforms that literally ongoing story by story, account holder by account holder and filtering. something to watch in the days ahead. thank you very much. it's the one part of the job the trusted advisors can't help you with. even after the months of arduous brexit negotiation and cabinet infighting, nothing prepares the british prime minister for dancing when the cameras are on. theresa may showed off her best

moves to children in cape town, as she began a three—day visit to africa. some accused mrs may of being a little stiff — others welcomed the scene. but she certainly isn't the first to deploy dance floor diplomacy. it's almost a rite of passage here in the us. set your mind back to 2007, when george bush bust a move with a west african dance company during an event to mark malaria awareness day at the white house. then there's super smooth barack obama — here he is in 2011, dancing away for a diwali celebration in india. and then this entry in 2017, from donald trump in saudi arabia. this is his interpretation of the traditional sword dance before a state dinner in his honour. perhaps just as well he did not get

more animated with that sword. let's just take a look at theresa may again. let's call the brexit shuffle. this is what she will be remembered for in africa!|j shuffle. this is what she will be remembered for in africa! i have some sympathy for these leaders, put ina some sympathy for these leaders, put in a position. you cannotjust stand and not take part at all. i have to say it is stiff and looks painful but good for her for giving it a go. i like it. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — trump's former campaign manager paul manafort‘s dealings with the justice system are farfrom over. he's facing another trial on a separate set of charges— and there's been a pre—trial hearing today. we'll bring you all the details. good evening. sunshine very much at

a premium across the country today and infact a premium across the country today and in fact many areas had quite a lot of cloud. this is a weather front which will bring some outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland through the night. the head of that we had some sunshine. as we go through the night we continue to see that weather front moving across scotland and maybe the risk of some scattered showers across the extreme south—east corner. he temperatures holding up into double digits but behind that something cooler and fresher. looking at tomorrow morning that front will ease the way but behind that already a trail of scattered showers. not a bad start close to the borders and into northern ireland. some showers to the north of england, wales and the

south west of england. away from the kent coast and east anglia they should be decent sunshine to start with first thing. but the weather front will move steadily south with increasing cloud, behind it right and breezy. in terms of the feel of things, it will be a bit of pressure behind that front, 1a—17d. despite weather front is trying to come in from the atlantic it seems likely that high pressure will build across the uk so things stay relatively quiet later on in the week. but autumn is not too far away now and you can see we start to pick up a cool you feel so widely single figures to start the day on thursday for top so chilly start to thursday

morning but dry. but the crowd increasing through the day, it will be acquired a but cloudy and temperatures at a maximum of 14—20d. it looks likely that the hype pressure will keep the rain at bay so pressure will keep the rain at bay so things stay dry for the remainder of the week. this is beyond one hundred days with me, katty kay, in washington and christian fraser in london. our top stories. trying to move with the times — british prime minister theresa may is pledging £4 billion in a bid to deepen economic and trade ties with africa. after appeals from his own staff, donald trump reverses course, paying a late tribute to senatorjohn mccain and lowering the flag at the white house. coming up in the next half hour. violence, overcrowding and children as young as ten attempting suicide — an exclusive report on the horrific conditions at a refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos. angela merkel says there is no place for ‘hate in the streets‘ in germany after two days of clashes between far—right

and anti—fascist protesters. let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag. paul manafort‘s dealings with the justice system are farfrom over. mr trump's former campaign manager soon faces his second trial which is scheduled to start on september 24th. just to remind you, last tuesday, manafort was found guilty on eight counts of financial crimes including tax fraud, bank fraud and hiding foreign bank accounts. next month, he's facing another set of charges in washington, relating to... he won't be attending pre trial court hearing in the coming days — we're not sure why. there are also reports that manafort sought a plea deal before before his upcoming trial, but talks broke down over issues raised by special counsel robert mueller. let's pick this this up

with the federal and white collar criminal defense attorney, caroline polisi, whojoins us now from new york. thanks forjoining us. do we have any sense how much this to manafort has that he might be able to trade with prosecutors in order to try to reduce his sentence? that's exactly the question. i don't think we do know. certainly, we heard from rick gates on the stand at his last try and he said mr manafort and gates on the stand at his last try and he said mr manafortand i gates on the stand at his last try and he said mr manafort and i were given the same path, meaning, with the government, they were given the same path of corporation. this is kind of a fog in the road. gates chose one way, manafort the other. so he has been released onto any sort of defiance with the government throughout the duration of this case. everyone was shocked he did not take a deal, which is why i'm not take a deal, which is why i'm not surprised that we are now hearing reports that there was sort of plea negotiations taking place

during thejury of plea negotiations taking place during the jury deliberations. remember, this deliberation mastered four days, it was a nailbiter, i would not be surprised if the government came back to manafort to give him a second chance, saying, look, we're ready to talk, you know, potential cooperation agreement here. caroline, we are in critical juncture is in the cases both of ma nafort juncture is in the cases both of manafort and michael cohen, president trump's former lawyer. when you look at the status of both of those cases in of those the batty men, which do you think, if either —— both of those two men, which of those do you think if either poses we re those do you think if either poses were threats to the president? the michael cole an investigation is more problematic at this time from what has been reported that we know, remember, michael cullen stood up before open court and publicly implicated the president is as financial crimes, campaign violence

poor finance law violations —— campaignfinance poor finance law violations —— campaign finance law violations, thatis campaign finance law violations, that is a huge deal, you cannot overstate the significance of mailing the sitting president in your allocation, that's what it's called. interestingly, the southern district did not name the president in the charging document nor did it charge conspiracy, so i don't think it's likely that the southern district will indict trump but it seems that they may have evidence pointing to him committing a crime. i know american justice works very differently over there to what we have over here, sitting here, i'm wondering if all manafort can have a fair trial. interesting question. his lawyers have declined to ways, they have the option of moving forward with a trial, a lot of people asking why he's having two trials, they chose not to ways venue and had part of case be tried in dc and had part of case be tried in dc and the other part tried in the east

district of the junior, and the other part tried in the east district of thejunior, they and the other part tried in the east district of the junior, they felt the eastern district of 4g and jury poll would be more sympathetic to mr ma nafort poll would be more sympathetic to mr manafort given it has a higher population of conservative people. —— easter district of virginia. they also decided to move the jury poll, you see this in a lot of high—profile cases, that is the argument that the jury poll is so tainted by the mere fact of the public nature of the trial that the defendant can't get a fair trial. you often lose, you know, thejudge has slated the process of picking a jury has slated the process of picking a jury forjust one warning which i find to be a short period of time, but they are moving forward on trying to root out any drawers with undue prejudice. and they will see the jury. good undue prejudice. and they will see thejury. good to undue prejudice. and they will see the jury. good to see you, good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. good point that caroline makes common in becoming the first trial, he was convicted on a counts but on

other counts the jury was deadlocked, one person was deadlocked, one person was deadlocked, a holdout, a juror who clearly had sympathy with paul manafort. another juror clearly had sympathy with paul manafort. anotherjuror spoke clearly had sympathy with paul manafort. another juror spoke out who has a naked american great hat and she said, ijust had to convey, the evidence was overwhelming. —— a make america great hat. so clearly there is a political element to the trial. i don't know if this was happening elsewhere, then those jurors go on television and talk about deliberations and get the kind of five minutes of attention, get interviewed on different outlets, and you wonder why in the judicial process. . . and you wonder why in the judicial process... i can't understand how that can work. once the trial is over, thejurors are that can work. once the trial is over, the jurors are free to talk, they can talk to whoever they want, so they can talk to whoever they want, so you get this kind of bizarre spectacle of, this is what went on, he said, she said, i did agree, which i guess we will get in this trial. that will be the focus next week. this week, the focus very much on the death ofjohn mccain. and right now, a black

drape and white roses sit on the desk he used in the chamber. during his 30 years serving the people of arizona he stuck by his convictions but also reached across the aisle and admitted his mistakes from time to time. among the colleagues who travelled around the world with senator mccain was republican john barrasso from wyoming. hejoins us now from capitol hill. thank you forjoining us. i know that you and senatorjohn mccain we re that you and senatorjohn mccain were close. you travelled with him a lot around the world. what was he like as a travelling companion? he was terrific. graham and others would often go a bipartisan way. —— lindsey graham and others. our last trip was to vietnam, memorial day of 2007, he was first starting to have some symptoms. we had gone back to the prison where he been held as a prisoner of warfor the prison where he been held as a prisoner of war for five and a half

yea rs. prisoner of war for five and a half years. he was met as a national hero. throngs of people all around him were to be positive's palace as well and then we went from there to go on the ssjohn mccain, named after his father, and his father two grandfather, and for him to meet and speak to the queue. —— his father and his grandfather. it is exceptional to find a senator... i love this photo we're showing of the two of your yourself and! it is a cce pta ble two of your yourself and! it is acceptable to find a senator who is as well versed in foreign policy as john mccain, he travelled to the middle east, war zones, vietnam, i know you travelled throughout central europe as well. what impact will it now have on the senate foreign relations committee and the senate armed services committee is thatjohn mccain is not on those committees with that wealth of underground experience? —— on the ground experience. there will be a fight, people will step up to fill

it, but yet courage, character and surfing the credibility no matter where he went. —— but he had courage. we went to ukraine to meet the freedom fighters, to, afghanistan, cases where us troops were. we went to meet him, having dinner with a number of wyoming soldiers in iraq andy on the question they had for me was, will you introduce us to senator mccain? he also met leaders of countries, they wanted to with him, without a netanyahu, they wanted to with him, without a neta nyahu, wherever we went they wanted to with him, without a netanyahu, wherever we went around the world, people wanted to hear what he had to see. —— to say. and it was simple probing questions. meeting with one thing, he asked, how are things in the neighbourhood? and we got a wonderful expose on what was happening, country by country, in that whole area. and with another leader, he asked, how is business? and we got this incredible understanding of all the things happening in that country and that part of the world. so it is so simple, the question, but so complicated the answer and he could

a lwa ys complicated the answer and he could always offer a wonderful advice based on his own life experience. senator, i know when you went to vietnam he went to the present where he was held for those years. do you think that framed the kind of politician that he was?” think that framed the kind of politician that he was? i think he realised there was kind of a man he was. he refused early release because he said, no, first captured his first release. they wanted to let you go out there because he was the son of the commander of the troops in that part of the world. —— let him go early because he was the son. he said no. and then he realised that in terms of politics, nobody was going to pressure him, no one was going to force them to vote ina way one was going to force them to vote in a way he didn't believe, he spoke forcefully a nd in a way he didn't believe, he spoke forcefully and i will tell you it was a sight to behold, it was wonderful to be with him, he spoke his mind. he admitted sometimes having been wrong but he was firm in his beliefs and willing and able to express those and not worry about

the impatience. he in a sense was the impatience. he in a sense was the man in the arena, as teddy was not used to talk about. he won many, he lost many but in the end he was a remarkable american and a remarkable world figure. —— remarkable american and a remarkable world figure. -- wonderful to get your thoughts on that. i was to share a letter written to the nato secretary general. he is tweeted this. i think we can show you the letter that he has written. he says repeatedly, from his early years in the us congress to the last stage of his acting career, he supported and defended the transatlantic alliance. only last year, he said we need nato more than ever. before we let you 90, more than ever. before we let you go, senator, what you make of that? he is absolutely right. i think it's

a wonderful thing to do because i was with senator mccain in estonia, latvia, lithuania, always concerned about russian incursion, the efforts to break the issues of nato and the defence of nato. what can we do with cyber, what were the russians trying to do, russian speaking television, all of those things, john mccain was very forceful, at home and in the united states come in the senate, as well as travelling the world and visiting with so many nato countries. he was one—of—a—kind, they called him the maverick, we sometimes referred to in as harry kane mccain when he would get onto an issue, but i will tell you was a world leader and it was a privilege to work with him. —— recent heavy first to him as hurricane mccain. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come — children as young as ten are attempting suicide in appalling conditions inside a refugee camp in europe. we show you inside moria camp on the greek island of lesbos. a large police operation is continuing to find a man wanted

over the double murder of a mother and daughter in solihull. 21—year—old janbaz tarin is being sought after his former partner and her mother were stabbed to death in the early hours of yesterday morning. neighbours say they were woken up by "a lot of screaming and shouting" and saw a man driving away in a van. sima kotecha reports. forensic tents still up and a police cordon continues to surround the area where two women were murdered in the early hours of monday morning. a huge manhunt is under way as police look for 21—year—old janbaz tarin — the ex—boyfriend of raneem oudeh, the 22—year—old stabbed to death along with her mother, 49—year—old khaola saleem. today police confirmed that the two women who were fatally stabbed behind me were from syria, while the suspect is an afghan national who was living

in this country legally. it's believed he worked in a local supermarket. a friend has described him as warm. he is a very nice guy and usually quiet. and always smiling and very kind. i go to the shop usually and everyone who is working there is nice. i never could imagine something like this about him. he absolutely always looks one of the nicest guys in this area who i know. more details have emerged about the women killed. officers said raneem oudeh had a two—year—old son. but the suspect was not the father. while khaola saleem was the mother of six. police have raided three properties in birmingham while looking for the man, including a house on this street. tonight the manhunt continues. west midlands police say there has

been a strong public response to their call for information. you're watching beyond 100 days. children as young as ten attempting suicide, appalling, unsanitary conditions and almost constant horrific violence — that's life inside a refugee camp in europe. the moria camp on the greek island of lesbos is the first stop for many people fleeing violence in syria and beyond. it has a capacity for around two thousand refugees yet right now it houses around eight thousand. workers for the medical charity medecins sans frontieres say it is the worst refugee camp on earth. catrin nye has sent us this exclusive report from inside the camp. the paradise greek holiday island of lesbos. also home to the refugee camp described as the worst on the planet. we have been given 45 minutes only to go around the camp. this is a section for the newest arrivals.

there are 7,500 people in here. it has capacity for between 2,000 and 3,000. food is scarce, conditions are appalling and violence is almost constant. fewer refugees are arriving on this island than previous years, but they are not leaving. as part of the eu—turkey deal, they are being held on lesbos rather than moving to the mainland. while we are filming at the camp, two people are stabbed in the queue for food. police block us from getting near the scene. always the same pattern. it starts with a fight, now it is for the food line. two people got stabbed. and it is always something between different communities. msf say conditions are

leading to deep trauma, that they have children as young as ten attempting suicide. we are reporting this to the public system, to unhcr, to the minister of health, "look, we have children as young as ten years old who try to suicide," and there is no child psychiatrist or psychologist on this island. and despite the fact that we pushed to move these children to athens as soon as possible, it is not happening. ali, along with many other kurdish people, fled moria after a huge fight broke out in may, largely between kurdish and arab men. iron bars were used to beat people. do you think there are dangerous people in moria?

despite conditions, boats keep coming. almost everyone on this one from afghanistan. hello! they celebrate landing somewhere at least more safe. but they are unaware of the new trauma that lies ahead. a miserable situation in a refugee camp there on lesbos. another country in europe where tensions are boiling over is germany. in 2015 it received over a million refugees and even though the number of arrivals has dropped drastically, nowadays an incident like a stabbing can trigger massive street violence,

as we saw in the town of chemnitz over the past few days. angela merkel came out today to condemn the violent protests — saying that the stabbing in chemnitz was a ‘horrible incident‘ but that ‘hate in the streets‘ has no place in germany. thousands of far right supporters have participated in the protests that were called after a german man was fatally stabbed — allegedly by two migrants. at least three foreigners were attacked and more than 20 people were injured in clashes between far—right and anti— fascist protesters. meanwhile, some european countries are budding up to create a united front against migration. today hungary‘s prime minister viktor orban met with italy‘s interior minister matteo salvini and he called mr salvini ‘his hero‘. in the past few months mr salvini has come into the spotlight for his decision to close italian ports to migrants rescued sea. in the most recent standoff, he refused to allow 148 people to land in sicily for days — and this prompted a public prosecutor to launch an investigation for illegal detention and abuse of power. earlier we spoke to our correspondentsjenny hill in berlin and james reynolds in rome.

james, we‘ve just seen there in that piece the sort of pressure that there is on processing centres, both in greece and in italy. tens of thousands of migrants still stranded in these countries. and for all the good intentions that were expressed recently at the brussels summit, not much has changed. is that why perhaps people like matteo salvini are rising in the polls? i think that is why he is in power. it is the cumulative effect really of so many years of migration, more than 600,000 people reached italy‘s shores since 2014. which by and large put matteo salvini in power. and the words he spoke sincejune, when he became the interior minister, the de facto most powerful man in the government, have seen his position rise. he has been to libya, he took an italian air force jet to libya, tweeting pictures along the way. saying that he wanted reception centres in north africa. that hasn‘t happened. but a lot of italians

like what they hear from him. butjenny, what we saw happen in saxony last night suggests that the actual numbers of migrants coming into the country do not necessarily have an impact on heightened emotions. i mean, the numbers coming into germany are down since 2015 and yet you get 6000 people in protest as we saw last night. migration as a practical subject is very different in germany from migration as a political subject. angela merkel is constantly being hammered, sometimes from within her own party, her own union over migration and of course she is under a lot of pressure from alternativa fur deutschland who have got themselves into parliament on the anti—migrant ticket and they are not going to let that go. what we saw in saxony last night and indeed the night before has been somewhat hijacked, the police certainly would say, by right wing extremists. last night we saw 6000 demonstrators many of whom were galvanised, mobilised from other neo—nazi networks and actually bused into the area.

that is not to say there‘s not public concern about migration, that is not to say that things do not go wrong. it is still very much a sensitive political issue but it is very difficult of course for someone like angela merkel to distinguish between what is actually happening and the reality portrayed by politicians. and all that proves, james, that for all the talk this side of brexit, the hot button issue really in europe is migration and if the deputy prime minister follows through on his threats to withhold the next round of budget spending in europe that would really catapult the crisis right to the top again? yes, luigi di maio, perhaps was looking at matteo salvini, they are of course from different parties, seeing that mr salvini was grabbing the headlines. he came up with a headline of his own, but he clarified afterwards that even though he made his threat about withholding money, he didn‘t want to see italy leave the european union. i think that will be a relief to brussels but still hear migration dominates discussion.

matteo salvini has just been seeing in milan viktororban, the hungarian prime minister. there is a lot of similarity between the two, but there is a fault line in that alliance. matteo salvini wants the rest of the european union to take the migrants which land here. viktor orban says that he and a number of other countries in central and eastern europe are simply not interested. jenny, i was interested to hear one official in saxony suggest that there had been a role from the internet and fake news surrounding what has happened for the last couple of nights. what are you hearing about that? what kinds of things are circling on the internet that might be inflaming tensions? the violence initially began, actually, after a german man was killed in a street fight in the early hours of sunday morning. it turns out that police arrested a syrian man and an iraqi man. now very quickly, rumours started circulating on the internet

which suggested that the german man died trying to defend a woman from being sexually assaulted. now, today the police gave a press conference, they say they have no evidence to suggest that any such crime took place. that this happened at all. and they are very concerned about what they described as a false rumour. jenny hill in burlington rasp and james reynolds earlier in the. —— in berlin for us and james reynolds in rome. this is remarkable, i thought it was a joke. a new musical about the first family is coming to new york city — and who better to announce its arrival than former white house communications director anthony scaramucci? "the 1st annual trump family special" is very much off broadway. hamilton this is not. but "the mooch" was only too happy to give it his support as the members of the trump family came out on stage. 0k...

ok... we‘re going to have to watch this one. christian, when you send this one. christian, when you send this round to me, seriously, i thought this was a joke. a common that there was a musical at all, you can see melania and ivanka, donald junior, and the fact that anthony scaramucci... he junior, and the fact that anthony scaramucci. .. he must junior, and the fact that anthony scaramucci... he must be a master of maximising reward from one of the shortest jobs maximising reward from one of the shortestjobs in history. he was in the white house for 11 days but he has made it an enterprise to capitalise on his association with the trump family and somehow managed to not get caught up in the white house‘s legal problems either. he must be one of the only people in the white house that hasn‘t been caught up in the mueller probe. what i said about scaramucci is that he has no filter and what he said about this performance, the trump family would find it very funny, they know how to take a joke. do

they?! they don‘t like saturday night live! is forever moaning about it! this is the poor man‘s saturday night live, it‘s horrendous. and he only worked there for 11 days, perhaps he did not learn very much about the boss and his family. i don‘t think that will go down terribly well! see you tomorrow. dealing. sunshine at a premium across the country today. and in fact many areas had quite a lot of cloud. this is a weather front which will bring some outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland through the night. ahead of that we had some sunshine. and though they were pretty fitting in places. —— fleeting. as we go through the night we continue to see that weather front moving across scotland and maybe the risk of some scattered showers across the extreme south—east corner.

temperatures holding up into double digits but behind that something cooler and fresher. looking at tomorrow morning that front will ease the way but behind that already a trail of scattered showers. not a bad start close to the borders and into northern ireland. some showers to the north of england, wales and the south west of england. away from the kent coast and east anglia there should be decent sunshine to start with first thing. but the weather front will move steadily south with increasing cloud, behind it bright and breezy. in terms of the feel of things, there will be a bit of pressure behind that front, 14—17. despite weather fronts trying to come in from the atlantic it seems likely that high pressure will build across the uk so things stay relatively quiet later on in the week. but autumn is not too far away now

and you can see we start to pick up a cooler feel so widely single figures to start the day on thursday. so a chilly start to thursday morning but dry. but the cloud increasing through the day, it will be quiet but cloudy and temperatures at a maximum of 14—20. it looks likely that the high pressure will keep the rain at bay so things stay dry for the remainder of the week. this is bbc news, i‘m rebecca jones. the headlines at 8:00. a fire destroys a primark store in a historic building in belfast, the fire service says there has been huge structural damage. we have concerns that building will
