this is beyond one hundred days... with me katty kay in washington christian fraser is in london. our top stories. theresa may promises mps a vote on a no—deal brexit or a delay to the process — you're watching beyond 100 days. if they reject her withdrawl agreement next month. theresa may says mps will be given the choice of no deal or delay india says its launched air if her withdrawal agreement strikes against militants fails to win support. in pakistani territory. it's a major escalation of tensions the brexiteers in her party say ministers who are seeking between the two countries. an extension to article 50 coming up in the next half hour. iran's president says he hasn't are in fact plotting to stop brexit. accepted the resignation of his foreign minister, javad zarif. the prime minister says mps can vote to delay brexit for three plus the story of this chubby rodent months but at some point stuck in a manhole — they will have to make a decision. and the volunteer firefighters who came to rescue it. ultimately the choices we face remain unchanged. leave with a deal, leave with no deal or have no brexit. michael cohen will tell congress that donald trump has committed crimes since the british prime minister theresa may has told mps becoming president. that she'd allow them a short window the problem is mr cohen delay brexit, but only if they is a convicted felon — so should we believe him? refuse to back either her deal also on the programme.

or a no—deal brexit first. her announcement piles the pressure once, the "little rocket man", onto brexit—supporting mps who have so far refused to back her deal. now the world statesman. kim jung—un gets the red carpet a delay could see the uk remaining treatment in vietnam, ahead of his meeting tomorrow in the eu long after the promised with donald trump. by all accounts the north leaving date of march 29th. koreans are in no hurry, at least the leader is not. i can't speak for his wingman. let me be clear i do not want to see article 50 extended. our absolute focus should be on working to get a hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington. and christian fraser is in london. deal and leaving on the 29th of what a difference a day makes. march. in just 2a hours, both theresa may i'm nowjoined by sebastian payne, political leader and jeremy corybn have relented writer for the financial times. on major brexit sticking points in the face of party pressure. today, mrs may announced that mps tomorrow was supposed to be high will get a vote on ruling noon and we would have a series of out a no—deal brexit, or delaying the uk's departure from the eu, amendments, rebellions, resignations. what are we going to if she can't get her own deal passed get tomorrow? a lot of nothing, by march 12th. jeremy corbyn says he will now theresa may engaged in herfavourite support a second referendum even if theresa may's political activity, kicking the can plan is approved. down the road and she managed to do but does that change the dynamics? that yet again. so we had a lot of mr corbyn has made his decision safe

in the knowledge there is no parliamentary majority for a second vote. women supporting cabinet ministers, at least not yet. parliamentary undersecretary is, and mrs may is surely calculating saying if you don't take the move to that even with the delay, stop the no—deal brexit then we will her mps at some point will still be vote against the government but too faced with the same decision. without a majority may appears in the short term at for her plan, or another, the cliff edge still looms. least to have pulled off something ofa least to have pulled off something and my extension beyond the end of of a political masterstroke, giving june would mean the uk taking part herself another two weeks to engage in talks with the eu to try to get in the european parliament elections. what kind of message something which she could bring back would that send to the more than 17 to parliament and put to the vote. million people who voted to leave if she loses that vote, she says by the 12th of march, which in theresa the eu nearly three years ago now? may language means the 12th of and the house should be clear that a march, on the 13th she will the than say parliament, will be have a short extension, not beyond the end ofjune, would almost certainly have no—deal brexit and we assume that the answer will be no and she will to bea say ok, do you want an extension and ofjune, would almost certainly have to be a one—off. if we have not she was careful to say it would be a taken part in the european elections it would be difficult to extend again. it would create a sharper short and limited extension. but for the first time that is the prime cliff edge in a few months‘s time. minister at saint we may not leave on the 29th of march after also

we're joined now from quite a big step. so for all westminster by our political correspondent jonathan blake. business leaders watching thinking by by all accounts it was a feisty cabinet meeting. mo was facing great, no deal off the table? business leaders watching thinking great, no deal off the table7m business leaders watching thinking great, no deal off the table? it is not, theresa may said she would move rebellion tomorrow in these votes but with this announcement she seems the exit date back but only until the exit date back but only until to have seen it for now —— theresa the end ofjune because after that it becomes complicated with european may was facing rebellion. a feisty parliament elections on the 1st of cabinet and may was facing rebellion. a feisty cabinetand a may was facing rebellion. a feisty july, the new parliament is sitting cabinet and a long one. perhaps some for the first time with an entirely heads banged together over the different mandate as does the cabinet table because as you say, european commission. so theresa may theresa may has faced pressure and has said rightly that is the last threats from her own cabinet ministers to resign or back moves to point and fact the cliff edge has been pushed back three months so the delay brexit or take a no—deal three months of extra certainty for brexit off the table. if she didn't business but beyond that, extending make a move herself to do that. even further becomes very complex. that's what we've seen. she's bought herself some time in the hope some may want a longer extension and of course the eu is talking about 21 perhaps that some conservative mps, months. but she can orchestrate that very keen on leaving the eu by the thatis months. but she can orchestrate that that is the hard because if they do deadline of the 29th of march will think that if they don't vote for not put up candidates for the theresa may's deal then what's going european elections, we have no to happen after is that many of my representation and it becomes very difficult. the commission did all collea g u es to happen after is that many of my colleagues will vote to take no deal

sorts of investigations about how we off the table and therefore delay could do this, it would be legally britain's departure from the european union. it has concentrated challenged all the way up to the european court of justice. mindsi european union. it has concentrated minds i think but it has set up a challenged all the way up to the european court ofjustice. the brexiteers would say that that was fascinating few days, if the votes happen as expected in two weeks' illegal and so really you cannot time, when no deal could be ruled out, brexit could be delayed for now push it, you can always find ways and we will see how much support but it becomes difficult after the end ofjune and theresa may has there is for another public vote. decided that politically she cannot christian, i bet you will be down at really go beyond that without the green the week after next. the creating much bigger problems. so we have three outcomes now, living on prime minister has a point, even if there is a three month delay, in the the 29th of march with a deal, living at some point before the end end, mps are going to face those ofjune living at some point before the end of june with living at some point before the end ofjune with a deal or living at the same critical decisions, and what end ofjune ofjune with a deal or living at the end of june without ofjune with a deal or living at the end ofjune without a deal. it is are the indications that she will get something in three months that makes it an easier choice for them? interesting. just a quick word on the cost of no deal, the impact there's no real indication that anything is coming from brussels in assessment published today. that the form of a concession that tells us that no deal under all theresa may set out to get, a mainstream economic forecasts would meaningful change to the text of the be very damaging to the british withdrawal agreement. what is more economy was almost a quarter of a million businesses currently having likely i think is an addition to it, some further legal guarantee that to talk to hmrc for the first time.

may well be enough to convince mps and the british economy 9% slower to back theresa may's deal. your according to the government if we right to say that the delay is not left without a deal for the brexit indefinite. as theresa may said, it supporters would say that the bank will only be to the three months to of england cannot even forecast next the end ofjune and on that date we'll be back where we were with the month and never mind 15 years into potential of a no—deal brexit the future but everyone does agree potentially still happening. that no deal would be problematic potential of a no—deal brexit potentially still happening! and disruptive and this highlights thanks forjoining us. the cost is exactly what that would the labour mp yvette cooper says she will go ahead be. thank you very much. gareth and table her amendment tonight, though she says theresa may has conceded "most" of what the amendment demands. one of the other amendments gathering support has come southgate will be calling her sin, from the conservative mp and junior the best kicker of the clan that minister alberto costa, there is! i promise you i was going which would effectively ring—fence the citizens‘ rights part of the withdrawal agreement. to ta ke there is! i promise you i was going to take part in that interview but i so in the event of no deal on march am bunged up with the cold and not 29th, eu and uk citizens‘ rights thinking clearly! the brexit would still be protected. we spoke to mr costa a short time ago. timetable would send me back to bed! the purpose of my amendment is quite but it does seem that all the simple. it is simply to say, let's reports we've had and all the get the issue of citizens' rights business people with i don think assaulted. it is uncontroversial. it they're concerned business people with i don think they‘ re concerned about business people with i don think they're concerned about no deal, it

seems that that is having its will bind the house of commons together on one aspect of the impact, all of those reports. absolutely but i think i think withdrawal agreement, which we can together say to the eu, this is what the british parliament once, —— suggestions that no deal has been taken off the table, that is wants, at the least, a deal on citizens' rights. we want it because only that deal protects overi premature. and business leaders million british citizens that are saying that this sounds great but resident throughout the eu. without we re saying that this sounds great but were not convinced yet. that part of the deal, there isn't a iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif has offered his resignation in a surprise announcement on instagram. treaty that is underpinned under but much as mr zarif might international law giving those guarantees to british citizens and want to leave his post, it will be hard for him to go eu nationals. although the prime against the wishes of the president who's made it clear minister gave her personal he wants him to stay. guarantees today to the eu citizens mr zarif played a prominent role in negotiating the 2015 nuclear agreement in the uk, whatever may happen. but between iran and major international powers. but the future of that deal has she said it was not in the remit of of course been put into doubt by the united states withdrawal. the eu to protect british citizens in his message mr zarif thanked the iranian if there was no deal. that would be people and apologised for "all the shortcomings and flaws in the period." ona if there was no deal. that would be on a bilateral negotiation. there we re two on a bilateral negotiation. there were two things. i welcome the a short time ago we spoke to friend of comments that the prime minister the foreign minister professor made but they don't go far enough.

it is one thing promising at the mohammed marandi, from tehran. dispatch box, guaranteeing rights, but it is another thing legislating for it and having those rights he said the exclusion of mr zarif enshrined in law. i'm afraid those from a meeting yesterday including pledges have not yet been enshrined in law. mr koster, let me ask a the syrian president could be behind personal question. my parents are in this. mr zarif has negotiated the nuclear their 80s and live in cyprus. if agreement and it has been very difficult in the past few months your amendment doesn't pass, what's because the united states tore up going to happen to them when we the agreement under trump and unfortunately eu countries leave the eu? do we know? i'd have are in violation of the agreement because they are intimidated by the us president. to ask a series of questions, whether your parents are uk so effectively what is happening nationals living in cyprus. yes, is iran is abiding by the agreement, they are. what i'd say is, the the international atomic energy agency agency has said for the 14th time just a couple of days ago that citizens' rights deal in their iran is in full compliance. withdrawal agreement doesn't just guarantee the rights of british yet the europeans are in violation, citizens in the eu, and the eu the americans are of course in violation and many in iran nationals here. it allows for an are saying why should we continue implementation period, meaning that to abide by the agreement british citizens who are taking up when the other side is not doing so. jobs from the ist of april in so it is increasing

the pressure on him because of berlin, rome, milan, as doctors or the economic difficulties. lawyers, whatever else they happen is it too simplistic then to be going therefore, their rights will be guaranteed. you are a pps in to see his exclusion from that meeting yesterday with president assad the scotland office. if you put and the pressure that he has been under over the nuclear agreement forward the amendment, you risk losing yourjob. look, myjunior aid as a sign that moderates, more moderate forces in the iranian government are losing their position? role is utterly unimportant. what is the iranian politics are very complicated, important here are the rights of over 5 million people. most of them there are many sides and many groups and factions. it is a very complicated political system and it confuses me quite often. had no say in the eu referendum and i don't believe anyone who voted but i would say that would be remain or leave had any intention of a bit too simplistic, taking rights away from citizens. my i think he was offended, the president tried to justify it later in a speech he made to the central bank. but again i think the real problem amendment says to the prime is that mr zarif has minister, go to the eu, make a put his credibility on the line, citizens' rights a part of the deal he has negotiated a nuclear deal. and get it off the table. alberto and many in iran were opposed to it from the beginning but the country and the government, the state, all agreed to it, costa's parents moved between parliament agreed to it.

britain and italy, so this affects him. it has taken nearly three years to and they have abided by it where we have got to come if we have and ordinary iranians have expected the europeans would abide by it, and the americans, would abide got somewhere, so what does three months do, christian?” by their side of the bargain. got somewhere, so what does three months do, christian? ithink got somewhere, so what does three months do, christian? i think the prime minister was right that it if i could justjump in there, let me flip it the other way, does not do very much if you don't if mr zarif is being frozen out get a majority one way or the other. the most pertinent question came from hilary benn who said that if we by the leader and the president, are going to have three months of delay, what does the house intend to and he is the chief negotiator use the period for? what mps keep with the west, why would the west engage with him because if he does not really have the ear forgetting is that they may vote for a delay but it is in the power of of the leadership back in iran then what is the point the 27 countries to decide what the in talking to him? i do not think that he was frozen delay is, what it is used for and out, in fact the president said how long it will be. much of the the reason why he was not invited briefing from brussels is that they was because the whole trip was kept secret for security reasons. don't want three months. they don't so that he reached iran safely and so the americans, wa nt to don't want three months. they don't want to be going around and around, as the antagonist, don't do anything as we've reported over the last few months, from crisis to crisis. they against the syrian president. wa nt months, from crisis to crisis. they want a longer period. they are talking about 21 months, doing away and also that this was not an with the transition perhaps, using official trip where he was going to

that time for negotiation. some people may say that is a better sit down and negotiate. so the option given that we don't have any president may be as justification agreement on the withdrawal plan. is, ido president may be as justification is, i do not think he has been frozen out of anything but i do yeah, what can you do in that three think that he was angry. i think the month period? they keep sending me real problem and frustration is that up month period? they keep sending me upfor high month period? they keep sending me up for high noon on the green and it mr zarif has committed iran to being a damp squib! we are going to something, iran is abiding by it but the europeans, despite their vocal talk about michael cohen. opposition to donald trump but on the ground the europeans are he once said he would take a bullet basically doing what he wants them to do. and this has created a lot of for donald trump but over this next three days, michael cohen will accuse his former boss mistrust in iran towards europe and of criminal conduct. in a series of congressional hearings, the president's former towards a ny mistrust in iran towards europe and towards any further negotiations personal lawyer will describe with europeans and obviously with what mr trump knew of the americans. interesting that he the trump tower project in moscow, and hush money payments to women in the run—up to the 2016 election. says mr zarif had not been frozen the white house says mr cohen out of anything. kind of hard not to is not to be trusted. have a foreign minister present when the president of one of your best allies is visiting. but they signed allies is visiting. but they signed a deal and they feel they have been on the losing end of that and joining us now from

new york is ron christie, therefore the person that signed the former advisor to george w bush. deal will lose some of his favourite. and also they will be you are a lawyer yourself. when you looking at what is going on in put somebody on the stand and they live, how often do you then accept vietnam thinking we signed a deal in good faith which the american signed what they say afterwards as truth? up good faith which the american signed up to and he has now gone to talk to and they lie. somewhere between zero kim jong—un who has given up to and he has now gone to talk to kimjong—un who has given him nothing so far, he is taking him at and nonexistent. this man has been face value but ostracising the convicted of tax evasion but has moderate voices in a run to the been convicted of lying to the extent that we may not be able to american congress. the notion that negotiate with them into the future. michael cohen is going to go before many would see that as a very the same body he was convicted of a desired strategy. in fact saying that he loves kim jong—un. felony, to offer truthful testimony, i think is laughable. 0k, felony, to offer truthful testimony, i think is laughable. ok, the counterpoint is that if he comes one of the most high—ranking armed with tape recordings or officials in the catholic church, documents or evidence of another sort other than his own word, saying the australian cardinal and former vatican treasurer george pell, has been convicted of sexual abuse. the president did things that run contrary to the law, would you he was found guilty in december of assaulting 2 choirboys believe him then? i wouldn't. this in melbourne cathedral. the vatican has ordered cardinal pell to avoid contact with minors and banned him isa believe him then? i wouldn't. this is a congressional hearing, not an from taking services. he has appealed the verdict. american court of law. there is tesla boss elon musk is in trouble again after he tweeted

comments about the car firm's something known as hearsay, a production on social media. the us financial regulator has statement offered out of court for asked a judge to hold him the truth of the matter asserted. in contempt of court, for allegedly tweeting market michael cohen could show up with sensitive information — in violation of a settlement documents, recordings. any basic with authorities. last year, mr musk agreed that he would not make statements judge with any knowledge of american about tesla's financial performance criminal procedure would look at without prior agreement with the company. that and say there is no evidentiary argentina's chief rabbi, basis in fact to admit it. but this gabriel davidovich, has been is about michael going trying to seriously injured by an attack which thejewish association says is anti—semitic. ta ke is about michael going trying to take —— michael curry to take the court of public opinion. it is going mr davidovich was left disfigured severely injured, to be embarrassing for president with nine broken ribs trump. he's doing this under of and a punctured lung. argentine authorities perjury as well. if he lied again are investigating the attack which comes after the desecration of nine tombs at a jewish cemetery in the province then he would be firmly in trouble. that aside, there is a problem for of san luis over the weekend. the president because he is in hanol the president because he is in hanoi, at this important son summit a us train stuck in oregon since sunday after hitting a tree is on its way back to seattle. the amtrak train with 183 with kim jong—un. his staff say they passengers on board was stuck in snow for nearly forty hours are worried about how they may after heavy snow downed trees react, how it could influence the and prevented rescue crews from reaching the train until this morning. negotiation. good evening, christian. welcome back. i imagine

no one was hurt in the accident, that the white house staff are but passengers complained concerned about the president trying of a lack of access to food, to negotiate with the north korean water and internet. dictator and yet still a good bit of his attention is focused on what may transpire in washington, dc later a p pa re ntly apparently no nappies for the babies this week. a distraction at a on board and one woman said they could not go anywhere because there minimum and who knows what michael was four feet of snow everywhere cohen might say order do that may around the chain. derail the attention away from the india has launched air strikes presidents agenda in the far east against what it claims are militant training camps in pakistani territory, close and instead focus again on to the disputed region of kashmir. washington, dc. when it comes to the it's a major escalation of tension between the two court of public opinion, i know that nuclear—armed countries. you say his reputation is tarnished india says the strikes targeted terrorists because he has lied before, but from the jaish—e—mohammad group in balakot. but pakistan said the strikes hit there is an evidence basis for some an empty area and vowed to respond swiftly. of theirs that he has said, we know our india correspondent that the president was talking about yogita limaye reports. trump tower in moscow. he said that in this mountainous part of he had no dealings with russia. are pakistan's northeast, india claims to have hit a militant group. people going to pay attention and ask whether we can believe the it says its aircraft bombed jaish—e—mohammad's largest camp. president? many people question the for the first time president's voracity but in this case if i am the dispassionate since 1971, indian

observer i'm going to look at michael cohen and say that he is trying to make a deal, may be to get jets entered pakistani airspace. his sentence reduced, to appear more translation: i heard a huge sympathetic to the american people. explosion flying overhead. in the morning, we saw a big crater, paying money to a porn star, and i and some homes damaged. but pakistan says there was no use paying money to a porn star, and i use the term very lightly, is not a damage and no casualties. crime. it may be unsavoury but it its spokesman put out these photos saying isn't a crime. discussing russia is that the jets were forced not a crime, although it may look to drop their payloads unsavoury. we've seen no hard hastily and scramble away. evidence of crimes being committed, only allegations. i don't think it's vowed to retaliate. india has committed uncalled michael cohen is going to shed much for aggression, to which pakistan shall respond at the time new light to the american people and place of its choosing. india's actions are being seen as a response about president trump, either before to this suicide bombing 12 days ago. or during his time in office.. thanks forjoining us. we are carried out by jaish—e—mohammad, it killed 40 troops in in indian administered kashmir. waiting for the investigations to be this is an area disputed wrapped up to see if there is any between pakistan and india. truth to the allegations of the neighbours have fought two wars wrongdoing. last week congress was over it, and for decades it on wrongdoing. last week congress was 0 n recess wrongdoing. last week congress was on recess and some of the reporting suggested that members are being has faced armed insurgency,

asked about health care and jobs and backed by pakistan—based groups. india has been repeatedly urging other issues of national security, pakistan to take action against the jaish—e—mohammad, like immigration. they aren't being to preventjihadis from being asked about the robert mueller trained and armed inside pakistan. report and russia. this is not on the mind of the american public. it after the suicide bombing, the mood in the country was one of anger, of wanting is very consuming in washington but revenge against the perpetrators. and with a national election coming up in less than two months from now, not something americans are paying attention to. really? isn't this the government and prime minister going to be box office, whether you modi were under pressure to act. believe him or not, when he gets on there were celebrations in some parts of india, the stand tomorrow, in this jubilation at having struck back. congressional hearing? it is popcorn but in others, there is fear of what will come next. stuff perhaps in washington but we should keep ni out on what the rest yogita limaye, bbc news, mumbai. of the country is thinking and they wa nt of the country is thinking and they want members of congress to focus on jobs and health care, not russia. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come. wild weather has many wondering if climate change is playing a part. we'll get the science perhaps there is a disconnect. behind the high and lows. by plane, by train, and automobiles, the two leaders have finally arrived in vietnam. the trump kim summit part 2, facebook has taken down the far right activist is on for tomorrow.

the leaders will meet tomorrow tommy robinson's official page night alone and later and his instagram with their staff for dinner. no—one is entirely clear profile for violating what success might look like at this its policies on hate speech. summit but donald trump still believes, with very little evidence the former english defence league to back it up thus far, leader was deemed to have engaged in what it called "organised hate". that kim jung—un is worth the gamble. the north korean leader crossed from china into vietnam thank you, every single one this morning after making an epic who turned out today. tommy robinson has mastered 4,000km journey from pyongyang. he was driven the final two hours the art of social media. stephen yaxley—lennon, by motorcade to hanoi. to use his real name, the president, of course, is a far right activist who claims travelled in the comparative to have been silenced comfort of air force one. by the mainstream media. so he turned to digital platforms such as twitter, facebook and google—owned youtube, what we do know so far, to rally activists and spread his is that mr trump and mr kim message of anti—islamism and a war against liberal elites. will meet tomorrow for a brief meeting, except now he's been silenced followed by a dinner at which they will be joined in some of those places, too. by senior staff including secretary of state mike pompeo. nearly a year after twitter and the meat of the negotiations banned him and having are then scheduled to received a final warning, take place on thursday. facebook and its subsidiary the former us defense secretry instagram today william cohen is with us. . thanks forjoining us. a permanently banned him. one—on—one meeting between donald trump and kimjong—un. is in a blog post, facebook said: one—on—one meeting between donald trump and kim jong—un. is that something, if you are still secretary of defence, that you would

advise? i'd have to know if he was really well— prepared, whether there was going to be a note—taker in the tommy robinson's facebook page has meeting who would take notes that repeatedly broken these standards, posting material that uses would be shared with the national security team and others. just to dehumanising language and calls have him in a room with kim jong—un for violence targeted at muslims. with no notes being taken, most tommy robinson said again today that a corrupt media and establishment were trying to silence him. security present, i'd have trouble and there are some libertarian with that. i'd want to know what journalists who disapprove of robinson but disapprove commitments were being made. we've of banning him even more. i think it's a terrible idea seen evidence that the president for facebook to ban tommy robinson, not because i think the guy's got likes meeting, one—on—one with anatomy a putin. what do they say to good views, but because it is censorship, and free speech has each other? —— with vladimir putin. to be with no ifs and no buts. you're giving him a gift lam in banning him, making him each other? —— with vladimir putin. i am concerned because we've learned a free speech martyr, re ce ntly i am concerned because we've learned recently that president trump does and he absolutely does not not take his intelligence from the deserve that position. the internet is a big place. tommy robinson, seen here protesting outside the bbc national director of intelligence, sta n in salford on saturday, national director of intelligence, stan coates, or his security team, has colonised a chunky corner of it. but from president putin. putin said though his reach has diminished today, his followers that north korea does not have a still know where to find him. missile that can reach you. he said amol rajan, bbc news. that one way to solve the problem is to reduce the training exercises.

i'm concerned we have the russian foreign minister in hanoi, whether he's going to meet with the president or his assistants. what is president trump is preparing a new panel to assess whether climate change is a threat to us national security. the russian position going to be? i according to a white house memo, worry about it. i hope for the best. the committee will be headed by retired princeton professor william i'd like to see a real deal made but happer. mr happer‘s views on climate change put him at odds with scientific consensus. i must say that i think it will be more incremental, which will serve he believes that increased carbon dioxide levels aren't a bad thing — kim jong—un's purpose. but would actually benefit the planet by spurring vegetation growth. more incremental, which will serve kim jong-un's purpose. there are thoughts that it may be the beginning of a series of meetings, he's even compared the media's treatment of carbon dioxide not definitive. some say that to the treatment ofjews in nazi already president trump has gained germany. more than his predecessors. there has been no new testing, no the comment i made was production of fissile material as the demonisation of common dioxide far as we know. can you credit is just like the demonisation of the poorjews under hitler. donald trump with actually taking a carbon dioxide is actually gamble that may be paying off? a benefit to the world and so were thejews. donald trump with actually taking a gamble that may be paying offlm could pay off but the issue is on the incrementalism. what are we and yet it seems so going to give up in the process, obvious to all of us that the climate is changing, and in some places is becoming more erratic. what steps will we take that right now the uk is in

undermine our ability to recover if a winter heatwave — with parts of the country the negotiations don't play out? the experiencing what would be president has pledged that there their average july temperatures. will be a complete, comprehensive startling to think thatjust a year ago the country was bracing for the beast and irreversible denuclearisation. from the east snow storm. here's a photo of a suffolk road we haven't even discussed what that means to this point. it's going to mid—blizzard back in 2018. now, here's the same scene — ta ke means to this point. it's going to take a long time and the question of taken one year on this week — what we are going to give up in the basking in sunshine. meantime and whether we can reverse it if things don't work out. if this time last year there is a figleaf and we are told those peering out of the jamaican high commission saw london grind to a halt it may end hostilities on the korean after historic snowfalls. peninsula, what would it mean for the 28,000 american troops in the but this week the views outside the building so very different. south? we need to keep them there. it's too simplistic to say it is a direct certainly the north korea's want to result of climate change — but it's getting harder and harder see a troop reduction. president to ignore the mounting evidence from scientists and weather watchers worldwide. with us is gina mccarthy putin wants to see a troop who served as head of reduction. i think japan the environmental protection agency putin wants to see a troop reduction. i thinkjapan does not wa nt reduction. i thinkjapan does not want to see a reduction and i don't under president obama. believe the majority in congress wa nt by believe the majority in congress want to see a reduction. until we by setting this panel with different see what real steps are being taken to reduce the missile capability and views as the president would call it on climate change and the scientists

around climate change, what is the white house trying to do?m the denuclearisation. taking troops out at this point would be a bad around climate change, what is the white house trying to do? it really is just white house trying to do? it really isjust a white house trying to do? it really is just a political ploy as you decision and one that i think would might suggest, we all know in the be very criticised at home. . thanks united states climate change is for joining be very criticised at home. . thanks happening, the scientists have forjoining us. formed a consensus across the world well, for more on how to verify any and we know what that means. but i of north korea's promises let's turn tojung pak, think... we can say clearly that a former cia analyst who is now the korea studies chair there is a consensus of scientists? at the brookings institution. that it is human induced, yes. and i it seems to me that one of the think that the president got a problems they are going to have with the negotiation is the sequencing, little upset when his director of who goes first, with what? right, national intelligence testified in front of congress and made it clear and that's always been the problem that climate change is a threat to but even beyond the sequencing we national security. and so he wanted haven't agreed on a definition of to bring together a group of hand—picked scientists to make a denuclearisation. if two sides have political statement aligning with disagreements about the end goal, his deals which is that he does not then how can we talk about wa nt to his deals which is that he does not want to admit that the climate is sequencing? for the part of north changing and does not want to do korea they've been asking for anything. so say this panel comes up corresponding measures before they move further on denuclearisation, with different views on says there such as shutting down the nuclear

research site. we don't have an are questions about climate change, what impact does that had on our ability to take action? well some inventory for what the north koreans issues bother me, i think that it is have. our complete the you think the cia's picture is about what they have? —— how complete. a security threat, but we have been cia's picture is about what they have? -- how complete. the estimates about the north korea nuclear sane, military leaders in our weapons is a big range, from 20, to country have made this case since 60. north korea has superb counter 1991 when the question was first asked under george bush and it has intelligence and operational not changed. so the president should security mechanisms in place. not changed. so the president should not have been surprised by that there's a reason why we call north statement because general motors who korea the hardest of the hard targets. it's because they're people was secretary of defence, also said it and his joint chief of staff do not leave the country, it is said. and it is very clear that the repressive and highly authoritarian, led by a single family, led by one world gets unsettled and migration man. one of the things coming out of happens, opportunities for insecurity in countries happen when you start to run out of food and what the summit may agree to is that water then you see migration happening. and this is very clear they may shut this nuclear facility, and no small panel that he puts they may shut this nuclear facility, the heart of the north korean together is going to be able to

stand muster against a consensus of programme. how would we verify that scientists that have been doing peer reviewed studies for decades. and they are telling us what is it is happening? yongbyon has always happening and what we can see with our own eyes. that is precisely the point, you're not going to have a been at the centrepiece of nuclear negotiations. it is a sprawling small group undermine thousands of compound of 3.4 square miles with peer—reviewed papers around the world that have come to the same hundreds of buildings. not all conclusion but the problem is you buildings are created alike. in could dismiss this as a political these negotiations at the summit it bullet but the problem is time is of will be important to figure out what the essence. the cost is now and if north korea is willing to offer at yongbyon and how quickly we can get we do not do something now than the into those facilities to monitor any cost into the future is going to be so cost into the future is going to be so much more claims of shutdown. sol cost into the future is going to be so much more enormous. cost into the future is going to be so much more enormous. i'm not suggesting that i'm happy with this into those facilities to monitor any claims of shutdown. so i think yongbyon and inspections of it and or that i want to dismiss it but the shutting down off yongbyon would what i am suggesting is it is not bea the shutting down off yongbyon would be a good start but i think it going to change the facts. we know will... we'll be a good start but i think it will. .. we'll have be a good start but i think it will... we'll have to run but that the north korean nuclear weapons that climate change is happening programme has expanded to a degree further and faster than we ever where they have road mobile anticipated and we need to take action now. as someone who has missiles, ballistic missile facilities through the country as worked on this in the united states well as thousands of underground and in paris, iam facilities that can hide fissile

material. i think i'm right in worked on this in the united states and in paris, i am embarrassed worked on this in the united states and in paris, iam embarrassed by this action because the united saying that kim jong—un‘s father states is the only country in the world not pa rt states is the only country in the world not part of the paris stopped work at yongbyon and restarted the facility twice, so agreement and working towards an international effort to address this clearly it is a facility that could and secondly, i'm threatened because be got going again if north korea i know that what he is trying to do decided that was the route it wanted to ta ke is to deny the facts on the ground. decided that was the route it wanted to take in negotiations, if they fell apart. how much detail can you i know that climate change threatens me, i know it threatens the health say that this was the right gamble of my family moving forward, i know worth taking? given the relationship it threatens our troops, i military, and the time is now to start to that president trump has touted with kimjong—un, it is make, not to make stuff up and that president trump has touted with finding friends to verify what you kim jong—un, it is important, that president trump has touted with kimjong—un, it is important, and the fact that kim is focused on just made up. there are facts and personally appealing to trump, it is there is make believe and we have got to deal with the wealth of important for president trump to say fa cts . got to deal with the wealth of facts. well the world cannot tackle to kim's face at the summit that climate change is the biggest he's going to need some answers, polluter does nothing but it also he's going to need some answers, he's going to need some answers, sets a precedent, that other he's going to need something deliverable, some tangible measures on denuclearisation. as you countries do not need to act?|j countries do not need to act?” agree but i want you to understand mentioned, yongbyon has been part of

the majority of people in the united denuclearisation theatre in the states are committed to understanding that climate change is north korean and us relationship. in 2007 they blew up the cooling tower, real and they are committed to taking action on it for that the only to reject the facility later, federal government right now is out when they change their mind. it's on left field but we are on the important that we keep that in mind and keep our perspective in check playing field, states, cities and towns are acting and i want you to and keep our perspective in check and remember history. ok, thank you. know that we are still in and we'll do the best we can while we deny the christian, interesting that we are starting to hear some people who ability of the president to make up watch career saying that maybe they could get more out of the summit fa cts ability of the president to make up facts just because the ones on the ground are inconvenient to him. than people expected —— who watch thank you very much. when it comes to animal rescue — korea. perhaps donald trump has firefighters are best employed offered a road map, and might off helping cats out of trees. but this next story proves their field of expertise goes far mmp offered a road map, and might off ramp out of the situation. who would beyond your average moggy. volunteer to work in the rescue workers in the german presidential staff of kim jong—un? town of bensheim took a panicked call from someone who had not a job you'd want to get wrong, found a chubby sewer rat, especially when he's meeting the us stuck halfway out of a manhole. president. particularly when he's apparently the animal meeting the us president and the world's media is watching. in question had put on a few so spare a thought for this man, who presumably is employed pounds in the winter — didn't we all — to be at the side of the great and was stuck at the hip. leader at all times,

gently it was eased out and yet seems to have missed the fact that somehow the leader of the grate and released safely is already on the platform, back into the sewer. meeting vietnamese officials. that is the fastest 10m dash we have seen this year. this is the right equivalent of a prerequisite for serving in the leader's staff is, believing that you are a size ten one would assume, devotion to duty. here he is enjoying a cigarette and trying to squeeze into those hot pa nts and trying to squeeze into those hot pants weren't really you are a size break en route to vietnam, while a woman, who appears 14! i had far too much time on my to be his sister, bears the crystal ashtray. hands today and i googled fat rat the man running down the platform and it turns out there is a german remind me of you, christian, because it always seems i'm in the studio before you. i thought you were going musician by the name of christian to say it was like outside broadcasts, me running after you. who is also known as the fat rat and that's never happened! it's nice to have your back, anyway! how are you things a certain type of music and bearing up? i've had a cold, i've he had one and 40 million hits in been sick in bed but it's good to see you again. that's why i'm glad 2014. it took firefighters and an we don't share a coach. this is beyond 100 animal expert to free him! the poor days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news —
