he promises not to be a "meddling" king. and that interview on the front of the express. so much to discuss and let star in the us because of the midterm elections perhaps dominate the front pages in the wake of the democrats winning the house of representatives and the republicans being so successful in the senate. so an interesting headline in the guardian, i will start with you because it is your paper, jim. donald trump issues threat of worrilow response. one might say thatis worrilow response. one might say that is one way of reporting it because he did also call for a kind of collaborative bipartisa nship approach with the democrats as well. if you listen to everything he has said in the few hours we have had since the results became clear, you would find him calling for a warlike response, the community come together and everything else you can think of. it was a pretty extraordinary night, but the
10:46 pm
democrats took back the lower chamber, the equivalent of the house of commons. the upper chamber which they have elected, where the republicans did pretty well in the senate. the strange thing we've got now is the democrats can block things but what they can actually do is less clear. with a vacant calls more thanjust is less clear. with a vacant calls more than just trouble and headaches for donald trump is the main thing. it looks like he is in position to be reelected in two years‘ time. really, you think so? given away the system works in the states, you can see the people he needs to still have on—site in two years‘ time came out and voted for him. he voted for his party at least. it poses an interesting question for the democrats. i want to just draw attention to the picture on the front of the guardian because this isa front of the guardian because this is a woman who won the minneapolis, minnesota and is one of two muslim
10:47 pm
women elected to congress for the first time. and women and minorities a big story in this election. it's a huge story. that is prominent in all of this. a lot can because they are passionate about what is happening in their communities and i think it is really good for women in power. it is always been a hillary clinton foundation whatever, but these people are absolutely standing out oi'i people are absolutely standing out on their own people are absolutely standing out on theirown and people are absolutely standing out on their own and i think it is a really good positive message. politics has opened up all across the world but to get women now out there speaking and understanding the communities is a fantastic message. you can be a very good conversation with donald trump, could you imagine the questions? it would see if democrats do so the need to put a single candidate against them in 2020. very interesting. it has always been the iconic clintons, never any other lady. it will be very interesting to see what dynamics we will look at in 2020. going back, it gets really
10:48 pm
passionate when he stepped on that platform. to pick up on that in a minute.jim, platform. to pick up on that in a minute. jim, let‘s look at the new york times today to see an american ta ke york times today to see an american take on the elections. an interesting headline here, it is now trump‘s republican party. you agree with that assessment?” trump‘s republican party. you agree with that assessment? i do not see how you could disagree with that. think back to 2016 when the republican establishment were disgusted with what donald trump was doing, they could not believe that this man who they viewed as an oath had been elected there candidate. right up to the election, they were too busy trying to distance themselves, all these senators pointing out that he does not speak for me. the same people two years later are getting reelected and being aided by the donald trump surge that has been brought in to some parts of the us. and yes, but they never apologise, never be on they never apologise, never be on the battle, always be critical,
10:49 pm
wrap—up issues on the border, around race, just always attack, attack, attack. that has worked for relatives in some parts of the us. the outside of the two coasts, not the west or isco, the static seem to be working. and yes, he is in charge. an interesting that he has fired jeff sessions within 2a hours as attorney general. a different world, one that you are in the job the next you are out. he was asked ina the next you are out. he was asked in a press conference to say if anyone had been fired, he did not know at the time and then all of a sudden we get an line that he is sacked. he decides to do things, he likes to and his background and what is going on, but i think the fact is he does not do things like uk politics. this is really fiery and he gets going to do so yes, looking for a new candidate for him in the house. that approach really is working with certain demographics in
10:50 pm
america, is it not? there is no way around and we come onto a get with the press conference which is the most extraordinary thing that has a broadcast is the last time he did a press c0 nfe re nce . broadcast is the last time he did a press conference. i think in the last half hour at the end, he shouted at journalists can last half hour at the end, he shouted atjournalists can argue a journalist, call himself a genius to some degree, to the questions for pretty much everyone whether they represented a lebanese tv outlet or a british broadcaster, a portent mike pence as his nominee for 2020 and basically said he understood most of the staff will leave within a year 01’ most of the staff will leave within a year or two because it was really ha rd a year or two because it was really hard work dealing with him in the white house. that wasjust hard work dealing with him in the white house. that was just the second half of it. and this moment when a japanese journalist ask a question and he said say hi to shinzo. author of the metro here. trump gets the help. with one particular journalist from trump gets the help. with one particularjournalist from a cnn but asjim said he was all guns blazing.
10:51 pm
idid not asjim said he was all guns blazing. i did not get to watch it all as well, unfortunately, but the bits i saw is sometimes he got very subdued and it once it starts going, it gets into the thrill of it. this picture itself, this one tried to remove the microphone. you just cannot get that in this country. and he is not scared of saying it out there. for me, it is about him standing there a good two hours i believe. our politicians do not do that. so fair to him but to remove a live today as well. he has a value of this. he knew that every cable channel was going to cut straight to this for a whole hour and a half of uninterrupted inner thoughts of the donald trump. did you fight with this guy from cnn deliberately? to be fair, i thinkjim acosta was happy to fight with him but they a lwa ys happy to fight with him but they always do. they benefit from it. the tv ratings go up with people see journalists fighting with trump and
10:52 pm
his numbers go up when they see him kicking back againstjournalists. there is not really any way out. the only winner is generally donald trump, who is up with an hour and a half of being able to speak to a captive audiencejust half of being able to speak to a captive audience just mouthing off to whatever file comes into his mind. let's leave him for a moment and go on to prince charles who has managed to nudge him from the front of the telegraph actually. this is because there is documentary to be broadcast on bbc one tomorrow night in which his 70th birthday is smart. helling, he said in his interview that i will not be met linking, i am not that stupid. what do you make of that? in recent years, he has been accused of meddling with government which he is not supposed to do. i'd equate herself doesn't quite well and has the weekly meetings the prime minister. i think he is
10:53 pm
relating to that. but after giving great respect to prince charles, he has been through the mill, he is waited patiently, 70 tomorrow and it is quite a lot to for the sovereign, the sovereign, the big crowd. but i think a lot of the big crown. but i think a lot of the big crown. but i think a lot of the big crown. but i think a lot of emissions is we thought he was a bit wacky but now we're discussing it very seriously. i think he recognises the plastics of the plant. i know we are lying but look at the other documentary years and years ago. this is what history is. he realises that it becomes a different seat, he will not meddle. he would just have the prime minister chas. i think it is very nice photograph and i will say what else is in there. i am not stupid, i do not think he is stupid but it is how is the trait sometimes. he made his views known on architecture and homoeopathy in front of the government one else. architectural all the time. gm food.
10:54 pm
70 something white men with positions of power and opinions is the theme tonight. with prince charles, though, there is a comma that and bb are doing these interviews. there is basically an operation under way right now to deal with the fact that at some point in the near future he will be king. and you have rebrand charles from being the slightly weird bloke wandering around to having with your flowers to the dad... i should not laugh, sorry. but the dad of harry and william and the guy who is going to be king. multiple industry cannot remember the previous monarch. let's conclude with the dare i say another white man in power but there you are. out of power. this is the head of the home builder persimmon, which
10:55 pm
forced him out as he is £110 million bonus that too problematic friendly. abedi was cut to about £75 million. that is a real hard to get when you would take 75 million but the head of persimmon who is basically made too much money and was too embarrassing about something they we re embarrassing about something they were doing and some house the rebuilding of stop we really worth 75 million and again to the point where they realised it was basically untenable. but the bit that really gets me with this is just the extent to which they tried to push them out. they forgot to put a maximum pay—out and his bonus scheme submitted a taking 110 million and when the share price rocketed. and it was amazing clip done by bbc yorkshire which at the end of an interview about a bread factory, just wondering, are you still ok with that? and the man who has just
10:56 pm
left said it is really unfortunate that you asked the question actually ina very that you asked the question actually in a very menacing white. when that was about, that was hypnotizing. we do not have time but we will talk to you later about it, helling, but it‘s fair to say whatever else it was, it was legal. him and i‘ve been there but it was legal. they're illegal, like you say. that‘s it for the papers for now. don‘t forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it‘s all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, jim and helen. more from you at 11:30pm. thank you for watching. bye— bye. good evening, well dawn of humanity
