no sellers, baboons, the pythons. no tim berners—lee, no dalai lama. a lot of people you could argue should have you're watching beyond 100 days. president trump is getting ready to address the nation on what he calls a humanitarian and security crisis on america's southern border. but — in an unusual move — us tv networks have agreed to also air a democratic response to mr trump's address. it's all part of his pr push to get funding for a border wall — which, according to opinion polls, a majority of americans do not support. the government suffers a defeat at the hands of mps who want to block a no deal brexit. a cross party amendment to the finance bill has just been approved by 303 votes to 296, a small majority of 7. also on the programme. flights take off from heathrow again after a short suspension this afternoon— authorities are investigating sightings of a drone there politics has always been a rough sport. the debate should be intense when the stakes are so high. but do we really want to live

in a world where politicians are in fear of their safety? and in the latest in our critically acclaimed series on deadly animals — and how to deal with them — we go to alaska where there is a moose loose... in a hospital. first tonight, the uk government has just suffered a defeat on an ammendment to the finance bill that would limit its tax raising powers in the event of a no—deal brexit. symbolic perhaps — a reflection nonetheless of the opposition there is in the house for "no deal". rob watson is here to explain what it means. this was an amendment that was put forward by yvette cooper and mickey morgan. it would practically make life more difficult for the

government. secondly, more importantly, is the symbolism. it is this idea that if the government would to try and go ahead with it no—deal brexit, they may well be facing a rebellion in parliament. stay with us, because we will talk plenty more about that. mr trump will get 8 minutes across all us tv networks tonight to make his case for why america needs to build a wall along its border with mexico. he'll need to be persuasive because opinion polls show a majority of americans don't want a wall. mr trump will then be followed by democrats nancy pelosi and chuck schumer who will say there's no crisis and no need for a wall. watching them all will be hundreds of thousands of federal workers who are not being paid at the moment because the government is shut down as this row plays out. earlier today vice president mike pence gave a hint at what mr trump will say. nearly 60,000 people over the past couple of months have attempted to come into our country illegally.

for the first time, the predominant number of families and unaccompanied children and it simply as overwhelming the capability of our customs and border control. ron christie joins us now. he is a former advisor to president george w bush. thank you forjoining us. what is mr trump trying to do in this eight minute national address, it is the first one he has given of this type as president? i think what the president is trying to do is to reclaim the pulpit. 0bviously, he has taken to twitter and talked about the wall. using his first televised address, he is going to try and make the case to the american people that this is an emergency and there is a crisis and outlined how he is going to try and

deal with that. we understand that he is writing these beaches herself. that this is not the president's best audience. it is straight off a teleprompter. we have all seen him lots of times when he is in that setting. is that an effective way for this particular president to try and make his case? in this particular instance, i believe this is going to be very effective to him. americans are accustomed to the fa ct him. americans are accustomed to the fact that the president rarely goes to the white house to address the nation. for him to do so, there must be an important reason. as a communicator, i would say this is not his his best forum, bertie is going to use all of the power of the trappings of being a president of the united states and that secular office which has been there since

1934 is office which has been there since 193a is a very historic forum for him to address the nation. in the past week, they claimed that 4000 terrorists had crossed the border, but in fact it was only six. trying to turn it into a humanitarian emergency, is not going to work?m depends on how the president frames this. i have heard reporting that there are 10000 and perhaps more that people who are getting ready to make a caravan trip to the united states. certainly, if the president has information to show the american people this would be the opportunity to do it. not through a tweet or a diatribe but to be very sober and very convincing using facts and evidence rather than hyperbole. that

is where it becomes problematic for television companies because the fa ct television companies because the fact he'd put out their will go unchecked during this eight minutes. given that so many workers are failed load, they have two let the commander in chief speak. this is the prime time when many of the shows, many of the opportunities for these networks to be making money will be circumvented by the president and four addresses afte rwo rds. president and four addresses afterwords. this is a test for the president. if he does not have something substantive to say, i think going down the road, the networks will be quite reluctant to give him this forum again. and joining me now in the studio is neera tanden. she is the president of the center for american progress — a policy think tank here in washington.

that is the challenge that ron christie was setting out for the president. what is the challenge for the democrats tonight? as noted in the democrats tonight? as noted in the broadcast, the wall is very unpopular. the public is holding president from —— the public is holding the president responsible for the shutdown. i think more and more republicans will break with democrats. what the president is trying to do is to rally the republican party and i think the reality here is that the american people do not think it makes sense to shut down the government with a democratic house when the president is not able to accomplish in all. at

the moment, you are right, the public is budding more of the blame on the president and the republicans. the longer this goes on, the longer that the president has the vehicle to say that there is a crisis. is there a risk for democrats that things could turn against them? how do they handle the situation? i think the truth is that the public is having a verdict on this presidency and the wall. it is not as if this wall is the new issue for the president. the public opposes the wall. if they wanted the wall and the ball was a demand that he got mickey would have gotten it done when his party controlled the house and the senate. he rejected any chance of doing that. the american people are pretty

sophisticated on these issues. lots of people have priorities, it is not something to shut the government done. it is a temper tantrum. we should remind our viewers in case they don't know, if you can try and impress on people that this is a humanitarian crisis than he might have some leveraged to declare a state of emergency and then he can appropriate money to build the wall. i think that is the more likely outcome of this. i do think the argument ofa outcome of this. i do think the argument of a humanitarian crisis is his excuse using emergency powers, most constitutional experts think that that would be struck down by the courts, but it would be a way to

get out of this crisis. at the same time, ithink get out of this crisis. at the same time, i think some facts will be important. that is important that there will be a democratic response. there is no humanitarian crisis at the border, border crossings are at a relatively historic low. he wants to create a crisis to get what he wants. it is interesting, but when 0bama went on tv to discuss a change to immigration policy and he wanted to give people a chance to come to the country, 0bama was not allowed on the tv. this is not a forum that

from plays well in. there will be a lot of fact checking that goes on. in the past half hour, flights have resumed at heathrow airport. departures had been temporarily halted after a drone was reportedly seen flying close to the area. the airport said it was working closely with the met police to prevent "any threat to operational safety". it comes weeks after several drone sightings caused chaos at gatwick airport. is short time ago we heard from somebody who was driving by the airport. i was driving north at about 5:45pm. the traffic was fairly slow, so i could see about 300 feet up, very bright, stationary flashing red and green lights. i could tell

it was a drone, these things have got quite distinctive lights, not a helicopter. the lights very close together. it was a clear night and the object stationary, it was turning very slowly and i could see it very clearly for about four or five minutes. i would definitely say that was a drone. it was a large one. if you were looking at the airport from the top, it would be in the north—west corner of the airport near the top of the northern runway, probably quite near to the airfield boundary, if not just probably quite near to the airfield boundary, if notjust over the fence. the flights were only

suspended for a short period of time, buti suspended for a short period of time, but i understand the authorities are taking it seriously and the government is in discussions with the police about what they will do. of course, there was such an u nsatisfa ctory do. of course, there was such an unsatisfactory response to what happened at gatwick, we were scratching our heads as to how many times did ron had gone up and now we have this, it does just show the sort of uncertainty that drones can cause around airports and the fact that at the moment, although their policies in the pipeline to deal with that, at the moment they cannot deal with that very effectively. something we talked about at the time, that other people look at the chaos that at gatwick and destroyed it to try something like that —— and decided to try something like that themselves. given that flights take off every 45 seconds, you only have

to shut that incredibly busy airport for a few minutes to cause disruption. now time for your regular reminder that we arejust 80 days from brexit. and if parliament votes down theresa may's deal next tuesday as we expect it will, then the uk will leave without a deal, unless parliament does something to delay the process. we are told plans for ‘no deal‘ were discussed at a cabinet meeting this morning, though the dissenting voices around the table are getting louder. the work and pensions secretary amber rudd said "history would take a dim view of the government" if they went down the ‘no deal‘ route. the home secretary sajid javid warned it would be harder to deport illegal immigrants — and then this from the business secretary greg clarke. it is essential that we should be able to continue to trade. that is why i have always been clear in representing very strongly the views of small business and large business that no deal should not be contemplated. let's return now to the government which has suffered

a defeat in the commons at the hands of mps who want to block a no—deal brexit. mps from several parties put forward an amendment, which would stop the government spending money on preparations for "no deal" without the consent of parliament. what we have heard two day from a number of key ministers is that they are very number of key ministers is that they are very nervous number of key ministers is that they are very nervous about the prospect ofa are very nervous about the prospect of a no—deal brexit? are very nervous about the prospect of a no-deal brexit? if it is not too late, happy new year? what has been interesting has been the mounting rebellion from the moderates. people coming together, saying we do not like the idea of no deal. you have also had the hint that government ministers themselves

might resign. that is bad news for theresa may, but one of the... might resign. that is bad news for theresa may, but one of the. .. rob, give me that moment of clarity. where does that leave last? the no deal seems to be getting more unpopular. where does that leave us with just one week to go? did you say more clarity, are you having a laugh! i was hoping you might have some wonderful wisdom. to answer your question, what is going to be key in the next few days and the next few weeks is this. the first

question is, if this deal goes down as looks likely, will those mps we we re as looks likely, will those mps we were just talking about, the moderates who are against a no deal, while they coalesce around a alternative. well the somehow be so frightened against the prospect of a no deal that they will get behind theresa may's deal. and would theresa may's deal. and would theresa may's deal. and would theresa may really be prepared to go ahead with no deal in the face of analysis from the government itself that it would be pretty disastrous. michael gove had a colourful description for those brexit mps opposed to theresa may's deal. at

this cabinet meeting you were discussing earlier, michael gove said of pro—brexit conservatives, he likened them, and i am quoting here, he said they were like mid—50s swingers waiting for scarlet hanson to turn up. —— mid—50s swingers waiting for scarlettjohanssen —— mid—50s swingers waiting for scarlett joha nssen to turn —— mid—50s swingers waiting for scarlettjohanssen to turn up. is the political debate in the uk — and the us — getting rougher, less collegial, more threatening even? in the uk, the speaker of the commons has called on the police to tackle what he calls "aggressive, threatening and intimidating behaviour" towards politicians and journalists outside parliament. anna soubry — the remain supporting conservative mp —

has been shouted at and called a ‘nazi' as she has tried to give interviews to the broadcast media. this morning on her way into the commons — her place of work — she was escorted by a friend, just in case. and that friend was labour mp sarah champion who joins us on the line from westminister; the usjournalist frank sesno is also with us. sarah, iam sarah, i am slightly nervous of equating the idiotic behaviour of 20 people on the green and also those who are walking around with banners advocating a people's vote with where the country is generally at the moment. what we saw with anna soubry was basically a group of people who will looking for attention themselves. when they were doing the shouting and jostling her, they all had their selfies on and no

doubt it went straight on to twitter and social media. to me, that was more about, look how brave we are, harassing a female mp rather than it was about political debate. the broader picture for me is how this has escalated over recent years, partly it has happened because of the media celebrating some of the slayers and name—calling —— celebrating some of the slurs and name—calling. still now, mps trotting out, we are listening, we are listening. they are not listening and any to start doing that because otherwise people have no alternative to make themselves heard them the methods they are taking now. frank, it sounds very

similarto taking now. frank, it sounds very similar to the situation we have here, where we have members of the trump administration going for food and being hackles. is the political arena getting more vicious or is it just the case that people are filming in it. because of social media now, it is so amplified and so accelerated that it has that multiplier effect. i know of journalists who are covering the white house who have had to hire private security because they fear that somebody might be waiting for them. i have covered many political campaigns, conventions, presidential real action campaigns, head of americanjournalists real action campaigns, head of american journalists who have real action campaigns, head of americanjournalists who have had to have security with them in some fashion or other when they go to an american political barley because

people are screaming and swearing at them. we have seen a number of cases where public servants are being threatened in one way or the other. it isa threatened in one way or the other. it is a very fraught time, more fraught than it has been in the past and because of that social media multiplier, we're much more aware of it. i wonder whether the discourse is any more vulgar or only more devices today than it was around the poll tax or the minor‘s strikes. are we the snowflake generation who thinks it is where's? i don't know the answer to that. what i do know the answer to that. what i do know the answer to is that a lot of the hostility is not political debate. actually it is about bullying and intimidation of public figures and public servant. if people were coming up to me and wanting to have

a robust conversation about my position on brexit, i am very open to that. the irony being that they argue it is free speech, but they are shutting down debate. people will point to john are shutting down debate. people will point tojohn macdonald who sits on the shadow benchers who says tory mps should not be able to walk anywhere on the street without facing direct action?|j anywhere on the street without facing direct action? i think there isa facing direct action? i think there is a big difference between direct action, handing out leaflets and trying to engage people in debate, but as we saw yesterday with anna soubry, a group of men surrounding this woman and preventing her from getting into parliament are two different things. we should not give legitimacy to these people who are heckling. frank, you write about the role of the media in this and you talk about journalists needing

security themselves. here in the us, journalists have gotten caught up in the divisiveness themselves. journalists have gotten caught up in the divisiveness themselvesm depends who you are talking about as journalists. this is another of the new things we have in the united states, not much in britain, where there has been a very partisan press for some time. but in the us now we have highly partisan media who see themselves as not just taking part in the debate but taking sides and the doing so and very harsh ways, often piling onto the demonisation that we have seen. the notion that we have in this country, and elsewhere, two, because of social media which allows pretty much everyone access at some level is that the threshold for what goes on

the air has come down. the personalisation of attacks can intensify. when i was here at cnn in washington we had a two source rule where we needed sources of our own before we would put it on air. this was because we wanted to make sure that the audience was getting information that we were sure of. those kinds of safeguards do not exist in that way any more. frank says no. fascinating. thank you for joining us. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — turkey's president attacks john bolton after the us slows down its plans to withdraw troops from syria and what does it take for many of us it has been a dry day

to day. we have all seen a little bit of sunshine at some point in the day. one or two showers have been brushing in, but for most of us it has been a decent day. some high cloud and further west in staffordshire, a fine end to the day with the setting sun illuminating the sky. through this evening and overnight, juggling to keep patches of cloud seeding in and that may well keep the frosts at bay. where well keep the frosts at bay. where we keep clear spells down the spine of the country we will see a touch of the country we will see a touch of frost developing here. the frosts more patchy across northern england and into parts of wales. 0n into

wednesday morning, more in the way of cloud for most of us. cloud across eastern counties will be thicker, if you showers are as well. thickening cloud across scotland and northern ireland with a little bit of rain later in the day. with the best of sunshine across central areas of england and wales. some wet weather as we go across wednesday evening. all tied in with this front which pushes in to thursday. here result of warm front. for most of us it will be another dry day. there will be extensive cloud around. temperatures down to six or seven celsius. it is turning miles in scotla nd celsius. it is turning miles in scotland and northern ireland with temperatures here up to 10 celsius.

there could be a lot of cloud around, but it is a mostly dry picture with some sunny spells coming through. if you showers coming through. if you showers coming through. if you showers coming through in the north—west. temperature still mild with highs between ten and eight degrees celsius. the weekend stays cloudy and my old. temperatures in double figures. this is beyond 100 days. with me, katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. our top stories: donald trump prepares to address the nation — on the government shutdown and a border wall — he's expected to tell americans they face a humanitarian and security crisis on the border. in the last half hour the uk government has been defeated on an amendment vote to an important finance bill which puts theresa may under more pressure, should she try to leave the eu without a brexit deal. flights have resumed at heathrow airport roughly an hour after sightings of a drone meant

that departures were suspended. coming up in the next half—hour... president erdogan strongly criticises the us national security advisorjohn bolton, who wants turkey to safeguard kurdish fighters in syria. and the new governor of california is upstaged by his two—year—old, with his blanket and his dummy in tow. 800,000 american government employees are currently not receiving any pay. for many it means less money at home for food, bills and medical expenses. these are the victims of what is bureaucratically called a "partial government shutdown". about half of them are still showing up to work — they just aren't getting their paychecks while the government isn't open. the other half have been told to stay home — also without pay. they will all get the money as back pay once the government reopens — but after 18 days, it's not clear how soon that will be.

we can speak now to jamie rodny, who's a federal worker who's directly affected by this. she's in orange county, california. i'm pleased you on the programme, because we forget sometimes when we talk about the politics, have badly affected people are. let me set out for people who you are, middle—class family, a three—year—old son in preschool, you have a mortgage due this weekend and graduate loans to pay, what are you going to do? yes, good question! first, iwould pay, what are you going to do? yes, good question! first, i would like to say good day to you both, and thank you so much for this opportunity to give me a voice not only for myself and my family, but for the 800,000 federal employee families at there who are not going to get their next pay check this weekend. it is absolutely

devastating for our lives. i am in a dual income earning, middle—class family, my husband and i are 18, we require both of our incomes in order to make our life, which is that of a normal, middle—class, american family, work. our mortgage is due next thursday, auro daycare preschool for our three—year—old is due, bills for our car, you know, insurance, everything, groceries, gas, what are we going to do, how am i going to get my thousands of dollars, my piszczek, covered? could you take an overdraft? —— my piszczek. —— can you take another job? great question. actually, as a federal employee, we cannot go out and geta federal employee, we cannot go out

and get a secondaryjob without it first being approved by the ethics department of our agency to ensure that there are no conflict of interest. so in my case, for example, iam interest. so in my case, for example, i am a federal investigator, i work for the united states department of housing and urban development. my job states department of housing and urban development. myjob is to enforce america's civil rights in housing and lending and to ensure a quality for all americans, regardless of race, national origin, religion, sex, familial staters, colour, disability. and myjob, first of all, is being 100% taken hostage by our government. i am not able to go and do myjob and serve the american people. so, millions of americans who are relying upon us federal employees and our federal agencies that we work for, cannot

get the services that they so desperately need. with regards to not getting a second job, you know, it's like, my hands are tied. it's a catch—22. it's like, my hands are tied. it's a catch-22. meanwhile, your husband, and you mentioned that mortgage that is due, your husband has proposed launching a crowdfunding campaign to cover yourfamily launching a crowdfunding campaign to cover your family expenses, how do you feel about that? actually, our mortgage is a bit more, here in california we have a very high price of housing, our mortgage and our homeowners association together is almost $4000. but that's not the only thing that is due this weekend. 0urcar only thing that is due this weekend. 0ur car payments are also do this began. 0ur cellphone bills are due. everything is due. the daycare is due every week. it's notjust a mortgage. how about our school loa ns ? mortgage. how about our school loans? my husband called his lender

and asked that they do something to help us, and they refused. so we have school loans. yes, my husband did say that perhaps we should do a girl phoned me page. i dreaded a personal loan out of my thrift savings account. we contribute towards that. i called them and asked them for a personal loan. they told me that this situation does not qualify for a personal loan. i would ta ke qualify for a personal loan. i would take —— have to take a hardship loan. that means i have to pay 10% of the amount, so in my case, let's say it's $4000, i have to pay $400 upfront, than another $400 when i pay taxes, then i have to bake state and federal taxes on the $4000. the kicker is, i am not even allowed to contribute into my retirement, again, for six months. so this isn't just causing us a present financial

pain, but this is causing us future financial pain. a lot of people are saying, just get a loan. get credit, you know. but i would be in getting my family further by doing so. —— getting my family further into debt. we just hope that those paycheques start coming your way because i can see this is a very tricky situation. and as you pointed out, it's not just you but 800,000 other employees as well. thank you forjoining us. relations between turkey and washington took a sharp downward turn today over syria. last month donald trump was persuaded by the turkish president that us troops were no longer needed in syria. so he announced he would withdraw them. but the decision left kurdish forces fighting alongside american troops in a in a precarious position — because turkey sees them as terrorists and would like to get rid of them. turkish troops are massing on the border with syria, ready to do just that. the national security advisor john bolton has been in ankara trying to secure safety guarantees for the kurdish fighters.

but today the turkish president said mr bolton's appeal was a mistake and impossible to swallow. for more on this, i'm joined now by former state department adviserjoshua walker. thank you for coming in. the treatment ofjohn bolton by resident erdogan, i don't remember things being this bad between washington and ankara in a long time, where does this leave us? we have not seen the personalisation of these attacks, particularly since the drug administration came in. it's highly unusualfor him administration came in. it's highly unusual for him to travel overseas and matthew does, he travels in behalf of the president, but who is speaking for whom? mr bowles and was in israel and turkey and president erdogan has just personalised this. the turkish policy has been consistent over the last two years so clearly when john bolton

consistent over the last two years so clearly whenjohn bolton made these comments he should have expected this type of reaction. on the threat to these fighters that have been fighting alongside the americans, they are massing on the other side of the border and president erdogan today compared them to so—called islamic state, he sees them as terrorists. turkey has been very consistent, the new york times wrote an article calling for all the stakeholders to come together, and clearly, president trump and president erdogan said they had a deal. the question, is that deal going to hold? in syria, it's going to be very messy to disentangle the kurdish fighters from the terrorists, how do you move forward on this? it shows you how difficult diplomacy can be. me you have mike pompeo injordan trying to reassure allies in the middle east that they are not going to vacate syria and leave the space to these

shia militias spread around the region. so, what is the us strategy here? there are clearly tactics, president trump has said we are getting out of syria but what does that mean? turkey would be happy to job in but it's own interests in the region are not the same as the us. and what happens to these kurdish fighters we have been standing alongside? right now, if you are france, britain or germany, what are you thinking about american foreign policy in the middle east?|j you thinking about american foreign policy in the middle east? i think we understand the president wants to get out but now you havejohn bolton and mike pompeo saying it is going to dig a little bit of time, so i'm trying to figure out if i am those countries, what is the response of nato? turkey is the second—largest member. they are not necessarily looking to washington? it's clear the us does not have an appetite to have a sustained strategy in the middle east. so you look to the

players in the region, basically turkey and israel on one side and iran and russia on the other side. thanks very much for coming in. china is beating mr trump to the post and holding a meeting with north korean leader kim jong—un. it's the fourth summit between the two leaders over the past 12 months and comes amid speculation of a second trump—kim summit. kim is believed to be celebrating his 35th birthday — and his visit is being widely covered by chinese state media. john sudworth reports from beijing. it was quite a sendoff. kim jong—un and his wife were shown boarding their bullet—proof train in pyeongchang, accompanied by the usual adoring state media commentary. they arrived in beijing on mr kim's birthday. china is unlikely to give him any unpleasant surprises. china would certainly encourage north korea to give up nuclear weapons, but not necessary to push north korea into a corner.

why? because china believes if the pressure is too high, that will be counter—productive. the us has no such qualms, so kim jong—un's fourth visit to china sends a message. it underlines the strength of the bond and shows that if the nuclear diplomacy with america fails, he has other options. preparations are now under way for a second trump—kim summit. mr kim has so far made few real concessions. north korea has long used its nuclear weapons to play the big powers off against each other. precisely the reason some argue it is unlikely to ever give them up. the fourth visit, interesting that

on this occasion the announced the visit before he arrived in beijing, which perhaps speaks of his growing confidence. when it comes to this trade rally between china and the us, north korea is a useful pressure point to beijing. yes. the fact that red tops are taking place in beijing just as kim jong—un is visiting, you wonder whether people are feeling uncomfortable in how they are managing all of those convoys around the city today because they certainly don't want to be bumping into each other. president trump has been critical of china in the past over its handling of north korea, not doing enough on north korea, he needs those trade talks, wants them to go well, he tweeted that the trade talks are going well, it is all wrapped up together. is to keep the pressure on the chinese over trade and keep the pressure on them over north korea. he doesn't want to

see a rapprochement between them, particularly if not much progress has been made on the ground in north korea when it comes to that key issue of denuclearisation, and where does that leave a second summit this might well have been mounting criticism of why hold it if the north koreans are not sticking to their end of the bargain? this is your favourite, this is their end of the bargain? this is yourfavourite, this is the their end of the bargain? this is your favourite, this is the only bit of the show that christian has really been interested in! a hospital in alaska has received a visit from an unlikely patient... staff and patients were left speechless as a moose wandered into the entrance of the alaska regional hospital in anchorage, monday morning. a spokesperson for the hospital said the animal gained entry after an automatic door into the building got stuck open. verities, taking a good look at the staff! not the kind of thing i would

have thought you would want to find as you go in for your checkup!” would imagine this part of the world is quite prone to moose trespassed. they put shrubbery to near to the door, i think they will see the error of their ways! remember yesterday we tackled on the programme had to get rid of jellyfish stings. today i get —— i did some research because i heard you came face—to—face with a moose. soi you came face—to—face with a moose. so i have got for you seven signs you're going to be attacked by a moose. 0ne you're going to be attacked by a moose. one of them is when it stops motionless like that when it is eating and looks about you. what you do? well, i was in wyoming, there was a moose and its baby, i thought i would photograph them. the mother did not particularly appreciate this! suddenly, the moose got incredibly angry and looked at me andi incredibly angry and looked at me and i ran for the nearest door. you

said you had to run around a tree? that would not have occurred to me. an animal on four legs finds it difficult to run around a tree.” would not have thought of that. i wa nted would not have thought of that. i wanted to get to the door, fast! this is beyond 100 days. still to come... what do you do when you just became governor of california and your two—year—old son steals the show? is the penguin said to the water to feed. much—mac was known about where they went on to lisney when a team of scientists follow a small group and found males and females went different whale. the males, who are thought to be the stronger swimmers, fished in deeper waters. the females travel further, preferring to search for the food in more shallow places. researchers say they are more likely to run into trouble. they usually appear stranded on the beach once they die at sea. and other times they arrive

to the coast in bad condition, because they were not able to get enough food, and so they go to the beach to die. they found the females would venture further than the males, shown by this highlighted area. some even migrate as far as the waters off southern brazil, whereas the males would be happy travelling just as far as uruguay. this could be of great concern, and in particular because it's they usually appear stranded on the beach once they die at sea. this could be of great concern, and in particular because it's the female birds that are being stranded further north. and, of course, they need to be back at their colonies so that they can reproduce. it's not known exactly what causes these strandings, but the fishing industry and man—made pollution is often blamed. magellanic penguins aren't endangered, but fewer females could affect future numbers of this species. the team in patagonia are going to continue studying the same group to learn more about the routes they take to see what more can be done to help these penguins. laura foster, bbc news. british diplomacy has long been held

in high esteem around the world, but maintaining influence is not something that can be taken for granted. the foreign office has in the past faced criticism for not being diverse or inclusive and is trying to demystify what it does by publishing some of its secrets. for the first time, a training course usually given to fresh recruits in embassies around the world will be made available so that members of the public can learn the art of diplomacy. let's take a look. diplomats, just like politicians and journalists, are in the credibility business. what we are seeing more and more when we analyse the use of diplomatic accounts online, is that we must be careful that the gap between rhetoric and practice does not develop and wide any more than it has done. the idea that diplomacy

is secret and hidden away, actually does greater degree of public diplomacy. well, a little earlier we spoke to the former uk ambassador to the united states, sir christopher meyer. i began by asking him he was taught the skills he needed to be a diplomat. no, they were not. i can just about remember back in the mists of time, the first day in september 1966 one watt into the foreign office. there was an induction period of two or three weeks, but it was to show you the mechanics of how the system worked rather than to teach you the tradecraft. because there was a view then that you learned it on the job and it was better to make your m ista kes and it was better to make your mistakes in practice rather than trying to go through some theoretical, academic thing that would teach you the tradecraft.” promise i'm not looking at katty,

but can anyone be taught tradecraft wig the academy is where you can go to alone to be a diplomat. but in the essential things you need to do, which separates the girls from the women and the men from the boys and the practice... you have have certain innate skills with which you have been born. it's like, can you dance a tango or can't you? can you negotiate or can't you ? dance a tango or can't you? can you negotiate or can't you? can you network, can you communicate? you can learn a lot but in the end, if you don't have the basic wherewithal, is not worth it. the ambassador to the european union a bru ptly ambassador to the european union abruptly found that his status had been downgraded during the funeral of former president george hw bush. he suddenly became an ambassador of

an international organisation. how does that come about that you get downgraded which allow you are there on the spot. its leans slightly fuzzy around the edges about exactly what has happened. if he has been downgraded, isn't the case he has now been reinstated ? downgraded, isn't the case he has now been reinstated? when i was there, which was quite a long time ago, over 15 years, there, which was quite a long time ago, over15 years, ago, ithink there, which was quite a long time ago, over 15 years, ago, i think he was treated, the ambassador to the eu, like any other ambassador, although it was understood it was an international organisation, not a nation state that he represented. i think, given trump's view of the european union, and mike pompeo's rude remarks he made about the european union at the beginning of december last year, it's not surprising. and did ambassadors have

the same can of client? doesn't matter if the eu is downgraded —— the eu ambassador. it does matter. even though we have had this communications revolution, you can have all that kind of contact, the face—to—face contact, the eyeball to eye ball across face—to—face contact, the eyeball to eyeball across the table, almost the physical sniffing of your diplomatic adversarial and the other side of the table, is very important in trying to win points and safeguard the interests of urination. if it is the interests of urination. if it is the case that he has been humiliated by the administration, it will affect his ability to do his job as the margins. if british diplomats are up front of the queue or have been, and they have been respected, should we, going back to this new initiative, should we be sharing her

secrets with the rest of the world? if this is an exercise in demystifying diplomacy, which every generation needs to be demystified, if it is trying to widen the pool of talent you can attract to join the foreign office by saint kitts, this could be you, and it's notjust a white male 0xbridge things —— by saying to kids, if it can do that, i think it is something worth doing. good to get your thoughts, thank you very much. doing anything with a live audience is always risky. and california's new governor learnt that lesson first hand, thanks to his son. yes, gavin newsom's two—year—old — called dutch — managed to steal the show during the politician's inauguration speech. despite his dad's best efforts, the toddler was reluctant to give up the limelight. take a look. now more than ever, we californians

know how much a house matters... my my wife and i have four children. pouring billions into a wall that should never be built. this is exactly how it was scripted. we will support parents, we will support parents. is he going to talk about the wall is he going to talk about the wall again?! not again! gavin newsome, by the way, has possibly presidential ambitions one day, that video will

do him a lot of good if he ever runs for president. you can guarantee it will be at there as one of his campaign ads very quickly. thank you to all of you for watching, we will see you again soon. for many of us it has been a dry day today and significantly brighter. we have seen some sunshine at some point in the day. but we have seen a fair bit of cloud and this is shower clouds. some showers have been brushing in but for most, it has been a decent day. some high cloud making a fine end to the day here in the leeds area. it also further west in staffordshire. the setting sun illuminating the contrails in the sky. this evening and overnight we're going to get patches of cloud feeding in. that may keep the frost at bay for a number of places. where we do keep some clearer spells,

along the spine of the country, we will see a touch of frost developing. probably more patchy across northern england and into parts of wales. 0therwise across northern england and into parts of wales. otherwise the clouds probably just about keeping parts of wales. otherwise the clouds probablyjust about keeping things frost free. wednesday morning, the cry from also—rans. eastern counties, it will be thick. some of these could slip towards kent and one running into these eastern coastal counties of england. some wet weather as we go through wednesday evening across scotland and northern ireland, tied in with this warm front pushing south across england and wales. thursday weather—wise, looking like being a cloudy day. here is the warm front moving south, the odd spot of rain but no great amount. for most, another dry day. extensive klaus,

temperatures were england and wales around six or seven celsius. turning milder in scotland and northern ireland with temperatures here up to 10 celsius. there could be a lot of cloud around on friday but it is mostly dry weather—wise with some limited bright or sunny spells. perhaps a few showers across the north and west, maybe towards the north and west, maybe towards the north coast of northern ireland. still mile for the time of year between highs of eight and 10 celsius. the weekend, staying mild but cloudy with temperatures from any staying just about in double figures. goodbye for now. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8. theresa may's brexit plans suffer a blow after mps back an amendment to the finance bill — which would limit spending on no deal preparations without pa rliament‘s permission. scotland yard says the police presence outside parliament is to be boosted, after some mps including the conservative anna soubry, experienced abuse and intimidation.

in a democracy we want people to be able to speak to their politicians, and we want people to be able to protest. what has been happening has gone way beyond that, but it is a minority. it's a very small group of right wing extremists. a court has ruled that a scottish government investigation, into complaints of sexual misconduct against the former first minister alex salmond, was unlawful. departures at heathrow were temporarily suspended earlier after a drone was reported to have been sighted.
