issues. 50 i have always tried, with eve ryo ne issues. 50 i have always tried, with everyone here, is if they issues. so i have always tried, with everyone here, is if they are interested and tried to introduce them to be interested, is to have a security credential, whether it is on services, intelligence, or on affairs, veteran's affairs... the committee of government, oversight, i ,to , to have a security credential is very important, not to just be the men who've been doing it all along. with all due respect to their triffid leadership, but for women to ta ke triffid leadership, but for women to take command and has standing on thoseissues take command and has standing on those issues and many new members have got standing with them already, some do and some don't. i do think that in times of the economy and our committees, we have a financial service, so there is already a record of high leadership on issues that relate to the economic security

of our country. we have four new women members on the ways and means committee, just this past year. usually, there would be one but we have four more new members. so, on all these issues, i want women to ta ke all these issues, i want women to take ownership of what would not be happy traditionally highly visible for them. that is one of the ways they will the congress, so that when people... the white house or add ministration, when they have to report to leadership in the congress at any level, about the safety of oui’ at any level, about the safety of our country, they will be talking to the full diversity of our country, oui’ women, the full diversity of our country, our women, people of colour, lgbt queue, and i think that is a positive thing, because people will

see experience, values and concern, people making the decisions about the safety and security of our country. inaudible are you confident that you will be the next big of the house? yes i am. i say to those women, congratulations and welcome. inaudible let me say this in one sentence, i have answered that question, the president said he deserved to be the speaker. i do think anybody deserves anything. it is not about what you have done, but what you can do. what you have done in the past speaks to your credentials. but it is about what you can do and i think i am the best present to go forward to unify, to negotiate, i am a good negotiator, as anyone can see in terms of how we have won any

negotiation so far. the only one we didn't win, which wasn't a negotiation, was the tax scam. so i think that my case is about being the best present for how we go forward , the best present for how we go forward, and i will not answer any more questions on that subject. we saw something this morning that challenges the conscience of our country. we saw something this morning that was a differentiation in this —— morning that was a differentiation in this -- in morning that was a differentiation in this —— in respect for our country. we have two bridge that gap, to bring people together and i think i can do a good job at that. but i will not spend... i would rather answer questions about policy and the rest. the record will speak for itself. the president said that if the democrats want investigations, any chance of bipartisanship is off. you have any concerns that these investigations could jeopardise your opportunities to legislate? we do not attempt to

linkjewish our responsible to you as article one —— relinquished our responsibility. this does not mean we are looking for a fight, but if we are looking for a fight, but if we see a need to go forward, we will. that will be the work of our committees. every committee has oversight responsibility, issues on energy and commerce, that is a big oversight. many of you are probably aware of that. but specifically to some of the concerns the president may have, thejudiciary committee, the intelligence committee, the oversight committee, there are a number of committees, depending on how we do go down that path, financial services committee, did i say intelligence? 0, homeland security committee, because of course, we are ashamed as a nation bya course, we are ashamed as a nation by a policy that takes babies out of

the arms of their mothers, that builds tents and all the rest to house people that... 0k, we have been listening to nancy pelosi, who is almost certain to become the new speaker of the house of representatives on the democratic party. it has been a fascinating couple of hours, firstly, donald trump laid out his thoughts on the results, now we have had nancy pelosi speaking, and jockeying has begun for the position here. she recognises this as a new era and president trump has to deal with a democratic controlled house of representatives. things will change in washington, will there be cooperation between the two? or will there be confrontation and conflict? from what we have heard so far, confrontation does not look far away. that is it from me in washington, dc. stay with us, because very soon, we willjoin

katty kay and christian fraser for beyond 100 days. there will be more coverage of these us mid—term elections. there have been some very heavy showers today, with some of the west in northern ireland. 25 millimetres in the space ofjust six hours. that isa in the space ofjust six hours. that is a picture of belfast who threw the afternoon. tomorrow, it looks much prior, but it still will be much prior, but it still will be much breezy. there is a big area of low pressure here, it is swirling into the atlantic like a snail shell. it will continue to swing weather fronts around its shell. it will continue to swing weatherfronts around its periphery towards us in the coming days. through this evening and overnight, there will be a gap between these two weather fronts and we eyes of ours will open up. the wind will fall lighter and with clear skies,

it is november, temperatures will start to come down. by the end of the night, it will be a chilly story. lows of 3—5d, in the north of scotla nd story. lows of 3—5d, in the north of scotland could be down to freezing. by scotland could be down to freezing. by the end the night, they will be more of a colour towards the west and south—west, because there will be more cloud. again, we have some showers dipping into the south—west and wales, through the early part of the day. perhaps some at the north—west of england added to southern scotland. a narrow band of showers. the map is showing a lot of dry weather on the whole photos though. some of the rain in the west could tamper resistant later in the day. a lot of sunshine however, and mild in the blackness, highs of up to 15 degrees. there are many gusts around the irish sea coast. the black arrows indicate the strength through the afternoon. particularly under this band of rain. that'll clear through for the end of the week, but all eyes to the atlantic,

this is quite a deep feature, with the prospect of some very strong wind on friday, particularly in the west, there could be severe gales through the day. there will be some heavy rain as well. it is that be to cause disruption, particularly to irish sea ferries and potentially to flights. the guy doesn't start too badly, don't be fooled by that, the wind will strengthen as the day goes on, always stronger in the west. gusts up to 60 months per hour and some heavy rain which will speed across the uk into friday evening. you're watching beyond 100 days. a combative president celebrated victory, slammed reporters and criticised republicans who hadn't welcomed him on the campaign trail. but, as only donald trump can, in the same breath he promised a new era of beautiful bipartisan cooperation. what's not likely is a better relationship with the american media — at his first post election press conference mr trump took on his favourite sparring partner as never before. cnn should be ashamed of itself

having you working for them. you are rude, terrible person. the white house can't get much done now without cooperation from democrats who won the house of representatives and this woman in particular. we as
