you're watching beyond 100 days. bernie sanders is back in the race. the darling of america's left announced he's running to unseat president trump in 2020. he lost the democratic nomination to hillary clinton in 2016, and this time, there are more liberal candidates in the field. but, in a sign he still has a loyal following, sanders raises $1 million injust four hours after announcing his campaign. you're going to run for president? i am going to run for president, that's correct. what's going to be different this time? we're going to win. the government promises to do all it can to help honda workers losing theirjobs in swindon, and the pm tells the car company she's disappointed. also on the programme: whistle—blowers warn a congressional committee that the white house is rushing to transfer highly sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia — despite being warned not to. influential and revered. chanel designer karl lagerfeld, a giant of the fashion world, has died.

he was 85. hello, and welcome. i'm katty kay in washington, and matthew price is in london. keep an ear out for the word socialism — you re going to hear it a lot more in the next year and a half. bernie sanders, the 77—year—old politician who captured the imagination of young liberals when he ran for president in 2016, announced today that he will again seek the democratic party's presidential nomination in 2020. so, who is he? after nearly a decade of unsuccessful political campaigns in the 70s — sanders was elected mayor of burlington, vermont in 1980. he entered the us house of representatives in 1990, where he served until he won a seat in the senate in 2007. he's been a consistent critic of politicians who are beholden to wealthy donors, and an advocate of social policies

of nordic countries, like universal health care, paid leave for new parents, and free higher education. here's mr sanders speaking on cbs this morning. the only way that real change takes place is when millions of people stand up, fight back, and say, "enough is enough, we are going to have a government that works for all of us — not just the few." but bottom line for me is — i think it is absolutely imperative that donald trump be defeated. because i think it is unacceptable and un—american, to be frank with you, that we have a president who is a pathological liar. and it gives me no pleasure to say that — but it's true. well, bernie sanders certainly isn't the first progressive voice to run for president. in 2004 and 2008, congressman dennis kucinich ra n u nsucessfully for the democratic nomination. for more on his experience and the current race — congressman kucinichjoins us now from cleveland, ohio.

thank you forjoining us. you run on the progress of platforms in 2004 and 2008. how different is an environment for somebody calls himself a socialist democrat in america today. first of all, i don't think the socialism label is going to become the definitive issue in the primary. senator sanders, by virtue of his entry into the visa grant becomes at the front runner. he has the organisation, the delegates, the money. also a number of issues which i got up the few yea rs of issues which i got up the few years ago, jobs, health care, education, climate change, what to do about nuclear duties, monetary policy, these are all things that will be on the table. in this election, he is setting the table.

here is one thing that is different and new in american politics. we look at the feud of 2020 candidates, we are not talking about here is the female candidate, here is the african—american candidate, we are talking about whether the candidate is more centres talking about whether the candidate is more centres 01’ on talking about whether the candidate is more centres or on the left. that is more centres or on the left. that isa is more centres or on the left. that is a pretty big departure. jobs have an ideology of their own, wages have an ideology of their own, wages have an ideology of their own few. people wa nt an ideology of their own few. people want economic stability, that is what they will be looking for. i do not think there is primary it will be lacking for discussions about how do you help more american families find economic prosperity — but will really be the concern. i think ideology could be the central issue in the general election, depending on who gets a nomination. this doesn't, by any means, means you'll get ten candidates who will improve

their profile. at this point, senator sanders is set any premier position. it was interesting to look at bernie sanderss‘ e—mail to his supporters, usually phrase that he will be campaigning for the many, not the few. that is the phrase that jeremy corbyn uses here in the uk. whether you think that faith means and whether american built it will go for it? it remains to be seen. the politics of america right now are tremendously upon the rights, it is not a good thing. it is filled with a lot of bitterness and, frankly, that could turn people off. so, the broader the view that they cannon state, the more inclusive the candidates are, the less polarising they are. the ties that i election could actually unite people is still there. there are comparison between

jeremy corbyn and bernie sanders, but this is america. it is a lot tougher sell to have a health care plan here. i put one forward years ago, it is very tough in the us because of all of the hose that are pharmaceutical and insurance companies have. the cost of health ca re goes companies have. the cost of health care goes up, companies have. the cost of health care goes up, bernie sanders is making that an issue, but he won't be the only one in this campaign. do you think the environment has changed so much in the us, as far as universal health care goes, for instance. that a candidate like yourself running now could be successful. could those they obeyed a 90,004 and 2008, had the narrative been as it is now? that that 2004 and 2008. some suggest it is more viable now than ever. i have to say, the democrats must come to an

understanding why people migrated over to the top campaign in 2016. i think the opposite occurred within a working class people and people trying to make ends meet. theyjust felt that the democratic party did not represent them anymore. you have to remember, the democratic party sold out on the war, they sold out on sold out on the war, they sold out o n m ostly sold out on the war, they sold out on mostly owning 2008. the in with the ability for the banks. there was a thief broke in with the democratic party and the people. this election must be an opportunity to rebuild that sale. to get people to believe that sale. to get people to believe that government can function in their interests. people went with donald trump because we had democrats who felt that the democratic party wasn't what it used to be. that has to be some moment of a reaching out to the people to try and bring them back, because this is

not a foregone conclusion that donald trump will be defeated in 2020, unless there is a candidate that can bring those top voters back from his fold. thank you forjoining us. good to see you still have the passion of a presidential candidate. and for the republican reaction to bernie sanders getting in the race we can turn to ron christie, former advisor to george w bush. has the political landscape shifty quantifiable since the last election that a candidate like bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, no longer look so extreme? the answer to that is, they are still that extreme. if you look at the polling here in the us, most americans do not want a socialise form of government. they do not want the government taking over the health care industry. they didn't like the new deal that was

rolled out a few weeks ago. the term social lesion is one we will hear a lot of between now and 2020 will be a real contrast between the centrists in the democratic party and the father. that —— the far left. that is the exact argument donald trump will make, we'll keep you only would socialism coming from the white house. but something has shifted in american politics, there are still young voters who like bernie sanders and like what he's talking about. i think bernie 2.0 will have a much harder time. there are more choices for young people, for progressives to actually vote for. bernie sanders represented a referendum on the clinton machine and now these people have many more choices. ijust do not know whether they will be able to put lightning ina they will be able to put lightning in a bottle twice and have the same

enthusiasm stop. but $1 million in just four hours' time does to you that a lot of people still like. do you think bernie sanders shifted the narrative? i do think he has. i think dennis kucinich is the grandfather of the progressive movement. to really change the landscape such that bernie sanders has opened the door for many more progressive ideas to become mainstream in american politics that we haven't seen. thank you for joining us. this definition of socialism is so fascinating. you look at some of the things been talked about, universal health care, three tertiary education, and in a european context, that doesn't sound like socialism. it possibly sounds like socialism. it possibly sounds like the nordic countries but not

socialism. it is a slightly different definition and something that was to be when dennis kucinich was running in 2004 and 2008 is becoming as more accepted, at least as the language of politics.|j a lwa ys as the language of politics.|j always found it interesting when running around on the beat in america in 2008, was a people say to me, you guys have socialism over there in europe. at that point, i wasn't sure what they meant by that. now, we haven't, really. yes, you have, you have three health care. it is fascinating these words have different meanings in different places. it will be interesting to see whether the movement really has shifted here in the states. the kneejerk reaction in the uk when hearing that one of the world s major car manufacturers is about to pack up and leave is that it must be related to brexit. the uncertainty over leaving the eu has created a difficult economic climate — but it turns out there are bigger forces at play. the global car making business is changing very quickly.

honda s decision to close its swindon plant in england where it employs 3,500 people is part of a wider shift away from europe, and towards asia and the us. away from diesel, and towards electric cars, as senior vice president of honda, ian howells, explained. this is actually being driven by some very big and really unprecedented changes in what we're seeing in our motor vehicle industry. and this is a move, really, towards electricfication. we started to see it in europe, we started to see it around the world. and it's in response to what our consumers are looking at, and also, what legislation is driving us towards. unfortunately, that means we have to start looking very closely at where we focus our investments. and, at the moment, that is going to be in the markets where we have large production and large manufacturing. and those are types of areas like north america, china, and japan. and for more on the global state of the car industry, we are joined from new york now byjournalist micheline maynard. thank you forjoining us.. if you

area thank you forjoining us.. if you are a worker today in the car industry, what does the future of car manufacturing how to do?m industry, what does the future of car manufacturing how to do? it is so interesting to see this happen, because you go back about 35 years, the japanese companies went into britain after they went into the us. so, we saw the plants come to the us and then to britain. i'm sure that it reassured people that fetish manufacturing was on a world class bases. now what i think is happening is that they world—class companies are looking for the easiest places to do business where they might get the largest profit and if something comes along in the market that crashes that, that gives them a good opportunity to leave. and this is inexorable, when we look at younger consumers of cars, they are different from their parents which suggest that what they want from the industry is going to be different as well? they have either of variety of

choices. here in the states, you see these scooters pop up everywhere. two years ago, who rode a scooter? now you have college students and even older people using scooters as an alternative to bicycles. even i love them! yes, they are fun and where you want to. so, you give them another choice and that is the thing that the automobile industry fears that the automobile industry fears that the automobile industry fears that the most. these young consumers who can influence their parents and grandparents, pretty soon, the demand for automobiles is just smaller. can you try and unpick something for us? the high alps in wa nt of something for us? the high alps in want of a saying today, europe simply isn't the place for us to make because any more, or indeed, to sell the new electric cars. we are much more interested injapan, china, america, what is happening in

those parts of the world that is not happening in europe? first of all, you have to remember that honda will look after japan first. you have to remember that honda will look afterjapan first. all the japanese manufacturer's think of japanese manufacturer's think of japan first. the manufacturing being donein japan first. the manufacturing being done in england is about half of the pint back in japan. done in england is about half of the pint back injapan. so, if they are only selling that much, they can easily pick it up and take it home to produce it. i believe this discussion of china, the us, ijapan isa discussion of china, the us, ijapan is a little bit of a smoke screen because europeans are just as interested in the future of mobility as anyone in the world. i think it is just as anyone in the world. i think it isjust a as anyone in the world. i think it is just a matter of, as anyone in the world. i think it isjust a matter of, where as anyone in the world. i think it is just a matter of, where can we do business most easily and make a profit? to them, it is not europe. pa rt profit? to them, it is not europe. part of the discussion is, can we rescue this factory? we do something to change the type of work force there? is it easy to shift a factory thatis

there? is it easy to shift a factory that is producing fossil fuel engines and move into producing electric cars? well, electric vehicles are still boutique vehicles, if you think about it. there are some electrified vehicles overin there are some electrified vehicles over in the states and europe from tesla. there is a design from the ground up to be electric vehicles. it is not like plopping an electric plant into a gas powered vehicle and saying, it is electrified. what is happening here is that electric is going to be part of the future, i do think that petrol and even diesel powered vehicles will be around for quite some time to come. again, it is that whole issue of where can we produce them most efficiently and make the most money. the conclusion drawn is that it is not in europe. thank you forjoining us. we have some breaking news: i knew last half hour, it has been reported that

shamima begum is to be deprived of her british citizenship. it has been a huge discussion in the uk. a statement posted on twitter any last half hour, a lawyerfor herfamily said they were very disappointed with the home office's intention of having an order made depriving her of her citizenship. the lawyer said, he and the family are considering all legal avenues to challenge this decision. when karl lagerfeld was just 18 he won a fashion competition. it was called the international wool secretariat and he won in the coat category. so he did what all aspiring fashion designers did back then — and moved from germany to paris. the rest is fashion history. karl lagerfeld died today — aged 85. among the many colourful quotes attributed to him is this one: "why should i stop working? if i do, i'll die and it'll be all finished." in a world that worships brands, karl lagerfeld enjoyed the status of a god. a workaholic with a sharp tongue, and a brilliant eye

for what would sell — he rescued the iconic fashion house, chanel, from its conservative, tweed image. as well as turning out lines for fendi, and his own label. his trademark dark glasses and white ponytail, in contrast to his lavish fashion shows and elaborate sets — including, one year, a full—scale beach reconstructed inside a paris gallery. ijust do what my inner voice is telling me. i'm thejoan of arc of design. karl lagerfeld was born in germany, but moved to paris where he studied fashion alongside fellow student, yves st laurent. for decades, they remained rivals in work. but, when saint laurent reinvented the classics, lagerfeld focused on the modern — teaming up with h&m in a bid to make his designs more accessible. and well before yellow vests became a protest symbol, lagerfeld was photographed wearing

one for a road safety campaign. "it's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't go with anything," the poster read — "but it could save your life." there were fears for karl lagerfeld's health earlier this year when he missed a show in paris. the last of a great generation of designers, his death marks the end of an era, notjust here at the labels where he worked, but across the fashion world. at london fashion week today, the tributes came pouring in. you know, he would say, this is how it's going to be, or, this is how it should be. and he always did things with such style. well, he just had a wonderful aura about him. the man remembered as an icon and a genius left behind his own kind of tribute. "i am like a caricature of myself," he was once reported as saying, "and i like that."

joining us now is fashion director of the new york times, vanessa friedman. thank you forjoining us. he was active in the fashion for almost 70 yea rs, active in the fashion for almost 70 years, how did he keep himself releva nt, years, how did he keep himself relevant, reinventing himself, how did he do it? he had an extraordinary force of will and work ethic and a kind of never ending curiosity about all sorts of things, cultural, personal, and in terms of what was next, huge is always wanted to know what was going to happen next and to be alert, and to be making it. so, that year he was 18 yea rs old making it. so, that year he was 18 years old and he won the kota competition, a young man called yves st laurent happened to when the

dress competition, i'll be looking at the end of a fashion era?|j dress competition, i'll be looking at the end of a fashion era? i think thatis at the end of a fashion era? i think that is certainly the feeling that most of us have. not least because carroll was a real designer from the age of the great designer. not the chief officer, highly attuned to the quarterly results kind of director. but actually, the age when the idea of just sketching and but actually, the age when the idea ofjust sketching and making and draping fabric to create a comment was truly what was exciting. va nessa, was truly what was exciting. vanessa, what was his training? he didn't really have any formal fashion training. he grew up in a in a very vigorous environment. a mother who cared deeply about ascetics and beauty. he kind of imbibed it but did not go to fashion school. when he do that code and won

that competition, that was his entry into the fashion world and when he started getting internships at houses which set him on his journey. i wonder what his influence was on high—street fashion quiz? high-street fashion he i wonder what his influence was on high-street fashion he was really the first designer to engage in the high street, mass—market, high end collaboration. that has become an absolute standard of business now. he was both incredibly snobby about what he defined as beauty and incredibly on snobby about where he found it. he loved the idea of these big brands bringing design to the street. he loved diet coke, who loved technology, he loved music. whatever caught his interest, he engaged with at a very passionate

level. it wasn't notjust engaged with at a very passionate level. it wasn't not just what was defined, classically, as high—end. might we ask you, while you're here,... i'm going to use a quote to get us there. we created a product that no one wants, said karl lagerfeld. it is about fast fashion, this notion that people buy an item of clothing cheaply and then they quickly where it maybe once or twice, and then they threw it away. britain is the worst offender of that in europe at any moment. 27 kilos of new clouds, each person buys a year in this country. as mps here say they want to put a 1p tax on every item of clothing so to try and help the environment, i wonder if it is possible to create a sustainable fashion industry and whether it is a direction that fashion into the head? it absolutely

is. it is a direction everyone needs to head. i think there are two sides to head. i think there are two sides to this coin, one is what brands can do in—house, to affect the manufacturing and production so they reduced their chemical imprint, the use less water, there is less run. there is the sense of circularity. most brands when they measure the impact ofa most brands when they measure the impact of a garment will treat it from the time they start making out to the time it leaves the store. after that, they throw their hands up after that, they throw their hands up and say, it is not up to me. you will need to be able to follow a garment through his life and give it a new life to understand what kind of impact it is having and where it is going. 0n the consumer side, they must be a recalibration of how we think about our wardrobe and what we are buying. people should buy things to last, not to wear twice and then

threw away. thank you forjoining us. threw away. thank you forjoining us. i think vanessa herself has ten different sets of clothing and she mixes and matches. i like that idea. as we just alluded to — karl lagerfeld was a man that didn't mince his words. indeed, the late fashion designer will be remembered by some as much for his barbs as his outfits. we've picked out a few of our favourites. on his early childhood — when i was four, i asked my mother for a valet for my birthday." 0n one's appearance — "vanity is the healthiest thing in life." and on his memories — "i have nothing to say. i'm actually trying to make sure that i won't be remembered." this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news: thousands are taking to the streets across france tonight, in protest at a recent rise in anti—semitic attacks. some very mounting pressures on the

way this week. as we dug in mild air from the ca nary way this week. as we dug in mild air from the canary islands, the warmer airspinning infrom from the canary islands, the warmer air spinning in from the south is the end of the week, temperatures could widely be in the my teens but are some spots count to get as high as 18 degrees. the real spike in temperatures as we move through this week. today, we are in between two weather fronts. this one week. today, we are in between two weatherfronts. this one has week. today, we are in between two weather fronts. this one has clear towards the east, that is yesterday. a bright start but he meant area of cloud already pushing in from the west as of make through this afternoon. temperatures largely in the double figures, around 12 degrees. it is turning increasingly wet and breezy as we see those outbreaks of rain working their way gradually north—east tonight. particularly heavy for western parts of scotla nd particularly heavy for western parts

of scotland and cumbria as we move into the early hours. further south, if we draw a line from southern wales to the wash, it looks like it will be largely dry. across the board, it may be a mild night. into tomorrow, there are two weather fronts affecting our weather. the fishing clears fairly quickly, the second one, echo front, will work in from the west are bringing outbreaks of rain. tomorrow looks like a fairly cloudy day, on topics of rain for scotland, northern ireland, northern england, gradually pushing a switch. it will become increasingly light and patchy, the best chance of dry and bright weather in the south—east, temperatures are of a touch highs of 14 degrees. for the first day, the chance of a few spots of light rain and drizzle in the north and west. much of the country brightening up to see a good deal of sunshine. temperatures will be mad for the time of year, highs of around 15

degrees. as we move towards the end of the week, the high pressure will continue to dominate the south and east. 0ne continue to dominate the south and east. one or two weather fronts close to the north and west, the greatest chance of seeing some patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle, a bit more in any way or in of cloud. the temperatures in the mid teens, perhaps 17, 18 degrees in the warmer spots. this is beyond one hundred days with me katty kay in washington, matthew price is in london. our top stories. the bbc understands that the home secretary has taken the decision to strip isis bride shameema begum of her british citizenship. house democrats investigate claims that advisors to president trump proposed selling nuclear power plants to saudi arabia — despite being warned not to. coming up in the next half hour.

with the polarisation of politics on both sides of the atlantic — we ask — is there a future for centrism — and if so, what does it look like? the french president visits a cemetery in eastern france — where 80 graves have been desecrated with swastikas. anti—semitism in emmanuel macron‘s country is on the rise. plus — stargazers revel in the biggest and brightest super moon of 2019 — as it reaches its closest point to earth. senior white house officials pushed a project to share nuclear technology with saudi arabia despite strong objections — that is the charge made in a new congressional report citing numerous whistleblowers. as the chair of the intelligence committee adam schiff put it — particular advisors of the president appear to have sought early in the administration

to provide sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia. they did so despite repeated admonitions by government lawyers that they should admonitions by government an investigation has now been opened by the house oversight committee into the allegations. democratic congresswoman eleanor holmes norton sits on that committee and joins us now from capitol hill. thank you forjoining us. what is the allegation that they were doing this during the campaign, during the transition period, or they are still doing it? the allegation is there is a rush to do this now but the president's son—in—law a rush to do this now but the president's son—in—lanared kushner is on his way for a tour in the middle east and there is bipartisan concern, concern in the house, the oversight and reform committee, with an interim report that came out

today and concern in the senate where five senators have said already that this chance they should not occur for the other‘s transepts may well be in violation of the atomic energy law because it contains at least nine conditions that must be met before transfer occurs and i will go further, i believe that before such transfer occurs that the administration must come to the congress of the united states. not only have they not met these conditions... your committee is investigating it says whether people close to president trump were building their own financial interests above the national security interests of the united states. where exactly is the illegality in what your committee thinks it might be investigating?

well you pointed to just a second serious problem and that is the national security adviser appears to have brought into the white house some former generals who have formed a corporation in order to do business in saudi arabia and indeed to spread this transfer of nuclear weapons, not nuclear weapons, sorry, to tra nsfer weapons, not nuclear weapons, sorry, to transfer this capacity across the middle east. and that would be a conflict of interest and his successor appears to have halted that. so the rush seems to be that jared kushner is on his way to the middle east and these people have been into the white house including those with an apparent conflict of interest. and without the congress

of the united states having had the opportunity to say anything about it. concerns in both the house and the senate that this could be in violation of federal law.|j the senate that this could be in violation of federal law. i wonder, presumably there is quite a lot you would like the committee to investigate regarding the donald trump white house, how do you prioritise, do you go after everything or focus on certain things? it is a good thing that the oversight committee has won the staffs in congress and you're right that we are investigating a number of different things at the same time. the report issued today is an interim report, unlike the senators, not the senate committee at the senators who say stop this transfer now, we have not said that, we have said that we have looked at it and so far there is a violation of

federal law and we indicated that we will continue to investigate this matter. if you ask me what would come next i would be surprised if the committee did not have a hearing on this matter. thank you very much for joining on this matter. thank you very much forjoining us. absurd stupidity. that's how emanuel macron described the desecration of 80 jewish graves in france today. amid an upsurge in anti semitism, fueled in part by the gilets jaunes protestors, the french president flew to the cemetery in alsace where the graves had been spray—painted with swastikas. mr macron said the sight made him feel ashamed. tonight across france rallies are taking place to denounce anti—semitism — they were called over the weekend after a jewish philosopher was verbally abused by gilets jaunes demonstrators. we can now speak to pierre haski, a french journalist who was at the march. what has reaction been in the country to the incident with the

philosopher and then the desecration of the graves? everyone was waiting to see whether there would be a strong reaction and indeed tonight there was with big crowds in the main cities of the country and particularly at the centre of paris, in the square for most demonstrations take place usually. and it really was an impressive crowd, lovably bigger than the yellow vests themselves managed together in the past few weeks. so it was a reassuring public outrage following the latest anti—semitic events in paris. you mention the yellow vests, to what extent do you think that they are behind this surge in anti—semitic incidents?m is very hard to say that the yellow vests are responsible because they are an open movement with no leader, no structure, the organisation so

anyone could claim to be a yellow vest and that is where the problem lies, that it has attracted extremists from both the far right and the ultraleft who have taken advantage of the chaos of the yellow vest movement to come out into the open with anti—semitism, with violence against shops, banks and public buildings. and so no one really is able to point the finger to the yellow vests saying you should stop that because no one can ta ke should stop that because no one can take that responsibility. is it politically expedient for emanuel macron to basically attack the yellow vests over this, to bring them into the critique of the anti—semitic in france? them into the critique of the anti-semitic in france? emanuel

macron is playing a very thin line where he does not want to antagonise all the yellow vests saying that some of their grievances are legitimate, but he wants to separate them from the violence and anti—semitism and that is why tonight was a broad political consensus, every single political party except for the far right party of marine le pen were present in the demonstrations tonight to show national unity on those issues. so whether emanuel macron in the end will be able to separate grievances from the outrage that has been provoked is a big question. thank you very much. on both sides of the atlantic the traditional parties of the centre—left and centre—right are in crisis. as politics becomes polarised, the space in the political middle appears less appealing to voters. here in the us, the democratic party

is being pulled to the left — a shift that began with bernie sanders in 2016. in britain yesterday seven mps broke away from the labour party — to try and form a new movement because they don't like what they see as the ideology—driven politics of labour's left—leaning leaderjeremy corbyn. across the continent established politics is fracturing — there will be eu elections in a few months time — and today the first official poll was released — projecting that for the first time ever the european parliament's two main groups — the centre—right epp and centre—left s&d — could win fewer than half of all seats. to discuss this we're now joined in washington dc by former speechwriter to president george w bush, david frum, and in london by sophia gaston — from the lse‘s institute for global affairs. i'm wondering, let's talk about

those labour seven who defected, what do they think that people want, do they think and are they right to think that people want a new politics or are people moving to the extremes? is it the way politics is conducted or policies?” extremes? is it the way politics is conducted or policies? i think both, it is important to remember that a lot of the political dysfunction we seeing right across western democracies has in many ways come after a period of hyper centrism so we had about 20 years of centre—right parties and centre—left parties really coming together around the centre ground. there was not a huge degree of difference in their policies and programmes but i think the with this in terms of the long—term process around marquesses is when citizens become disappointed or disaffected, the only place for them to go is to the fringes or to

blow up the system altogether and we have had a big steam valve through the ranks and vote and i think at the ranks and vote and i think at the moment things are just falling into place. i think we can expect a relatively high degree of political dysfunction to continue but as to the centre ground, i think there still is space for the centre ground in british politics but that centre itself is shifting. the centre ground for the past 20 years has been this kind of economic conservatism with a high degree of social liberalism. the centre ground of today seems to be much more economically liberal and interventionist but it is shifting ina much interventionist but it is shifting in a much more socially conservative direction. compared to the hyper centrism with hard in the past two decades, is extremism just more exciting? you look at the rallies, bernie sanders, donald trump, there

is energy there people have a great time. itjust the centre politics in america just going? well what we mean by centrism, it cannot be true that if you look too late left and right and people are either side of you you're doing the right thing. i think the trace elements that identify this new politics, these are anti—semitism and anti—vaccination. the government in italy and poland are anti—vaccination, jeremy corbyn is a big advocate of homoeopathic medicine, and anti—semitism is also present. what did these delusions have in common, they're both conspiratorial, small groups of people who i thought to have secret knowledge and the normal process of finding out the truth in the world whether science or rational politics, do not answer the questions. i do not share the politics of the new left trend of

the democratic party but i think maybe even bernie sanders, that is not what were talking about, we're talking about people with a conspiratorial view of the world. and who reject democratic politics. and who reject democratic politics. and when you hear that, does that sound like what you're seeing in europe? i think right across europe we're seeing a high degree of fragmentation and it is very much a reactionary environment so we are starting to see for example the rise in germany the rise of the far right but at the same time matched by the right of the greens. i've just come back from spain looking into the rise of a far right party down in andalusia and at the same time in many ways we can kind of see this as

a reaction to the rise of the catalan separatist movement. it is a very dysfunctional dynamic moment in european politics at the moment. what is interesting about the projections from the european parliament looking at to the elections is not only receive this kind of decline of the traditional big beasts of the centre—left and centre—right but also the rise of some of these smaller political groupings which do has some of the more radical movements for example some of the more eurosceptic and anti—immigration parties. we are also seeing some projections of the rise of some more centrist liberal political parties. which i knocked of the traditional centre—left or centre—right in the mainstream conceptions of them, maybe closer to the kind of liberal democrats and so on. we can see that in itself is a can of reaction to this eurosceptic movement. so many trends going on

and a lot of fragmentation and i think that will be the picture with the elections coming up. and we nearing a time when the tribalism of politics such as it is in the uk, labour or conservative and in america republican or democrat, that tribalism is coming to an end such that another candidate could win in the united states? what we have to ask is whether we can learn through reason and through provision in advance of calamities on whether like the generation of our grandparents who had denied the hard way that communism and fascism were lies. that the stability in the 19505 lies. that the stability in the 1950s was a reaction to pain and suffering and then a reaction to the success of liberal democracy in the yea rs success of liberal democracy in the years after the war. recently there has not been enough success but let us has not been enough success but let us help we do not have to learn to

pain and horror as our grandparents did. thank you both very much. we are did. thank you both very much. we a re clearly in did. thank you both very much. we are clearly in a period of turmoil and whether we're going to learn, i spent the christmas period with my pa rents spent the christmas period with my parents and they were more babies and they look at the turmoil and say that that reminds them of the 1930s. i'm reluctant to make that comparison but interesting to hear people of that generation saying we'll remember a time when it was like that and it led to that huge period of destruction and violence. that is concerning to them. and in europe at the moment there are a lot of people concerned about the fragmentation of politics. we will talk about italy in a minute. but people are concerned about what has been happening in italy but also there are plenty of people excited by it as well. at every donald trump rally that i have been to i've seen

that, every bernie sanders rally, i've seen that. now to italy — and an investigation into accusations of kidnapping against the country's deputy prime minister has been blocked today. prosecutors in sicily had sought permission to investigate matteo salvini for abuse of power and kidnapping over his decision to hold 150 migrants on board a rescue ship for five days last august — rather than allow the vessel to dock at an italian port. but the senate committee voted by 16 votes to 6 in favour of halting the probe. there's more legal trouble for the former trump campaign advisor roger stone — he's been ordered to appear in court over a social media post that appeared to threaten the judge in his ongoing criminal trial. earlier, mr stone apologised to judge amy berman jackson for posting an instagram image of her next to what appeared to be the cross—hairs of a gun sight. he's facing charges linked to alleged russian meddling in the us 2016 election. great white sharks may hold the secret to curing cancer and other age—related diseases — that's according to new research by scientists at a floriday university.

the first map of great whites sharks‘ dna has revealed "mutations" that protect the animals against cancer and other illnesses — as well as the ability to repair their own dna — something sadly we can't do. it's hoped more research could help apply the findings to treating age—related illnesses in humans. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come. we visit the 13—year—old skating sensation at her training rink in california — where she gave us some tips for success. latest figures show record numbers of people are in work in the uk. the office for national statistics says average earnings increased by nearly 3.5 percent between october and december — with a drop in eastern european workers. the bbc‘s andy verity has more on this story.. firms like this buckinghamshire maker of bifold doors and windows

are under growing pressure. to raise pay. it has expanded its sales fourfold in the last five years and has counted on eu labour to do that. nearly 70% in this room are from eastern europe. now that trend has gone into reverse and it is having to pay more for its most skilled staff. the number of workers from the rest of the eu worked by 61,000. from eight countries that joined of the eu worked by 61,000. from eight countries thatjoined the eu from poland and the czech republic to the baltic states, the number grew rapidly but is now down 184,000 from its peak. the workers at the sperm have no plans to leave but they think they know what others are leaving. the economy strong back home, unemployment is low and positions are better paid. so it is ina positions are better paid. so it is in a better position back home.

positions are better paid. so it is in a better position back homelj think we're a bit scared about what could happen with no deal and how that could push up prices. many people from the so—called eu aid countries that joined people from the so—called eu aid countries thatjoined in 2004 now have several lives here, families and homes. for those weighing up staying or leaving the equation is changed. no longer such a gap between living standards here and living standards in poland or the cheque republic. that is why friends like this are giving bigger pay rises to hang onto their staff. —— firms like this. helped maybe by higher pay the number of uk nationals in work was up 372,02018, nearly twice the increase in migrant workers. 13—year—old alysa liu recently became the youngest female to land a triple axel — a move that few in the sport have accomplished. that achievement helped her to become the youngest ever us women's national

figure skating champion. so what does it take to perform at that level? we visited the skating star at a training rink in oakland, california, where alysa gave us some tips for success. hi, my name is alysa, i'm 13 years old, and i'm the youngest lady to land the triple axle. tara actually went up to me and she said how happy she was and how records were meant to be broken and how she is so happy i broke the record. tip number one is probably flow. it's like if you flow

and you have a lot of speed you look very graceful on the ice. i would say flow and speed is most important, it matters a lot. second tip, it's very small. it's to know how to stop. stopping is pretty important in skating. there are many different types of stopping. every single person learns to stop. third tip is jumps. you have to know how to jump correctly, it has to look pretty and stuff. i would sayjumps are one of the most important things to know. i think that is what makes a very good skater. tip numberfour is to know how to spin. especially if your spins are fast. you get a lot of points and it looks extremely awesome. that is supercool and good for her

for doing that. my top tips on how to present this programme but u nfortu nately to present this programme but unfortunately this week we have today a lot of money to have matthew on this problem so we have no more money for graphics. so don't panic, cross your fingers, ignore all plans. and be nice to matthew so that he comes back from presenting his podcast and comes back on the programme. fantastic, a podcast like! i thought that you were going to talk about skating. i went with

my kids at christmas and i have never felt so sore with such muscle ache in years for top it was awful. i would not risk that, i think i would look huge. now you might want to cast your eyes skywa rd tonight as the biggest full moon of the year makes an appearance. it's called a super snow moon — snow from the native american lunar calendar and super because the moon's orbit is closest to earth making it appear full, bright, and larger than life. here are some spectacular pictures of the supermoon from various locations across japan. hopefully when i leave the office here it will be able to be seen. they all have these strange names. but it looks good. before we go — as the world
