you're watching beyond one hundred days. victor orban is hungary's controversial leader — today, he's at the white house. that's causing concern among democrats and republicans — they've written to mr trump to express their reservations. victor orban has repeatedly praised donald trump but he was snubbed by both barack obama and george w bush. we'll bring you live coverage from the meeting at the white house. china has escalated the trade war with the us imposing tarrifs on us products — global markets slide after that announcement. also on the programme. more shuttle diplomacy — us secretary of state mike pompeo makes an unscheduled stop in brussels to talk iran with the european foreign ministers. we are very worried about the

conflict or an escalation that is unintended on either side. # que sera # whatever will be wil be # the legendary holywoods actress doris day has died at the age 97 — they don't come much bigger. i had fun. and wear all the gorgeous close and work with rock hudson and jimmy and wear all the gorgeous clothes and work with rock hudson and jimmy garner and clark gable. i mean, how bad can it be? hello — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. hungarian prime minister victor orban is on his way to the white house — he's not the easiest diplomatic guest. just before his arrival, republican and democratic senators joined together in a rare moment of unity to express concern about the erosion of democracy

in hungary under mr orban's leadership. he has shifted from being a proponent of liberalism to a champion of the authoritarian right — cracking down on civil liberties at home, cosying up with president putin abroad. which is why today's visit to the white house is so controversial. steve bannon once called victor orban, trump before trump. and many will view this as a meeting of minds, like a victory lap for the forces of nationalism. in nine years, victor orban has bent hungary to his will. he has rewritten parts of the national constitution, dismantled the judiciary, reined in the free press and gerrymandered the electoral system to favour his party. and last year, he won the third straight term and power on the straight term in power on the back of a promise to protect the country's christian majority. he is a vanguard of european populism translation: the forces of national sovereignty and globalisation are pitted against one another as never before.

on one hand stands the nationalist millions, on the other, the global elite. president obama and president bush before him both snubbed victor orban, the trump administration has waited two and a half years. the strongman image may impress trump, but there are reasons that the americans remain wary. hungary, a nato ally, has been actively courting russia and china, buying the technology of the telecoms giant, huawei, despite the warnings from washington. today, mr trump will try to cut an arms deal with them, there will be deals on energy too, but the width of deal with him, there will be deals on energy too, but the width of the president courts victor orban will be watched closely. particularly here in europe. we're joined now by charles kupchan, who is a former staffer to the national security council under president obama and is now at the council of foreign relations. we will show the pictures to the audience as soon as they arrive. what does victor orban get out of this is it to the white house was

yellow i do not think it's any accident that is doing this after the european parliamentary elections i think he is looking for a boost to the populace, not just i think he is looking for a boost to the populace, notjust in hungary, but for the european right. and he has been in the penalty box for a long time. george w. bush would not see him, barack obama would not see him, and now it looks like he is being reinstated. whether or not this plays well in europe, it is ha rd to this plays well in europe, it is hard to say. he will be strengthened but it could also be the centre turn out to see, here is donald trump trying to undermine the european union and then they go to the polls to try and counter this move. we have republicans and democrats on the committee and a rare moment of unity, coming together and writing a letter to donald trump saying to be careful of this, there has been an erosion of democracy and hungary. careful of this, there has been an

erosion of democracy and hungarym some ways it is not new in the sense that we donald trump favoured pain in the election, seeing an alliance of populists, steve bannon, his former adviser has been travelling around europe trying to organise the alliance of populists will stop i do not think it's going to put donald trump in hot water that he is not already and, but it does increase the tension between an american foreign policy establishment that thinks it is completely inappropriate and donald trump who thinks probably alone, that this is a good idea. we are in the run-up to european elections, the populists are resurgent in europe and many here will see this as a curious timing that donald trump is closing up timing that donald trump is closing up to victor orban when he is snubbing america's true friends. you

put yourfinger on it snubbing america's true friends. you put your finger on it that this is in some ways, sticking his thumb in the eyes of the european union, not just that he is pro brexit, now we have someone who is inviting victor oi’ have someone who is inviting victor or bond to the white house —— orban to the white house, just weeks before the election. i am not sure how that is going to play. it could alienate some people who might not otherwise go to the polls, they might vote for centrist parties as opposed to the far right, but there is no question that we will see a significant gain by the far right in the european parliament and i think victor or bond is in some ways trying to make a —— trying to be a kingmaker, trying to figure out what grouping he will be and what we see all the votes come out. is very practical reason that it has to do with china like mentioned in the report, and the white house amongst

people in the administration that hungary has got closer to china because of the initiatives and the ta ke because of the initiatives and the take advantages and i could give donald trump an opportunity to say look, orban, ican donald trump an opportunity to say look, orban, i can help you here. we can talk about the traditional agenda, the symbolism but energy is on the agenda, arms sales to hungary are on the agenda in the united states is not happy that he has opened hungary to leading an huawei, which is very controversial to build in the 5g network due to the intrusion into the security system. and then on putin himself, donald trump might not like the fact that victor orban has cozied up to him. and there's the operation with ukraine and he has set hungary in a

position against the broader efforts of the united states to push nato to the east. live shot of the white house, that is where victor orban will appear and as charles was suggesting, there is opportunity for president trump to open the white house doors to victor orban in a way that barack house doors to victor orban in a way that ba rack obama house doors to victor orban in a way that barack obama and george w. bush refused to do. but to make the talks conditional and some kind of action on hungary's relationship with china, the question is how you finesse that sort of diplomacy and whether the president is prepared to use that kind of leverage. and the body language and what he says in front of the press because the europeans will be watching closely for any signs that he is embracing what victor orban stands for seems to stand for within the european union and of course, reading some of

the comments today from the officials were saying that this was inevitable. he is a nato ally, you can have them frozen out forever so at some point, the hungarian prime minister has to arrive. and they have just discussed with their particularly concerned about is him moving into the sphere of rush and china —— of russia and china. financial markets tumbled today because of the escalating trade war between china and the us — it was the first day of trading since president trump raised tariffs on more than two hundred billion dollars of imports from china last friday. beijing today retaliated with tariffs on a variety of us goods. us markets are particularly unhappy with the move. we can cross now to zhaoyin fung, the us correspondent for the bbc‘s chinese service my my back particularly animated markets have responded with what will respond in june.

markets have responded with what will respond injune. the estate broadcaster very unusual clip that ina very broadcaster very unusual clip that in a very combative tone that china has now fully prepared to fight the trade war with the us. the country is unwilling to fight at the beginning, but it is not afraid and it now has to fight to the end. so far, there have been more tariffs from the american side and the chinese side how far do you think they are prepared to go i think there are two angles to see in the ta riffs there are two angles to see in the tariffs at the moment. the action taken by beijing to regain some political capital. and show that they are not fearful of a trade war. on the other hand, you can also see that china has some kind of window for renegotiation, the tariff will not kick in until the ist ofjune

and if you look at the us tariffs, which kicked in last friday, they give exemption to some of the goods that are in transit right now and the average shipping time for chinese goods to the us is three weeks. so the china tariff taking in three weeks is actually pretty proportional. thank you forjoining us. proportional. thank you forjoining us. a quick shout out to the white house, stop victor orban has arrived, we are expecting them to come out and have a talk in the oval office and we should get some indication of how that meeting went on. we'll get more on the chinese story. over the weekend president trump warned china not to follow suit on increasing tariffs — and denied that it would be us consumers who'd pay for the trade war. he tweeted this: the unexpectedly good first quarter 3.2% gdp was greatly helped by tariffs from china. some people just don't get it! well, some people do get it.

the tariffs are paid by the importer, and many of the importers of chinese goods into america, are american companies. what's more, the tariffs are often passed onto the consumer in the form of higher prices. a fact the presidents top economic adviser larry kudlow acknowledged this weekend on fox news. the president says china doesn't, china it pays the tariffs, they may suffer the consequences but it's us businesses and us consumers who pay, correct? yes, to some extent. i don't disagree with that, again, both sides will suffer on this. joining us now from new york is ron christie, bbc political analyst and former adviser to george w bush. i suspect he is not having a very good day in the office today. good afternoon. he certainly is not and larry laid bare a lot of the things that he has said about the tariff issue that are just not true. the cost of this is going to be american

corporations, and american corporations, and american corporations are going to put these costs along to the consumers. so the notion that the american people are notion that the american people are not going to be harmed by this as a result of this tariffs is laughable. the doctrine of conservative economics has been opposed to trade wa i’s economics has been opposed to trade wars for as long as i can remember andi wars for as long as i can remember and i assume as long as you can remember as well. where are the republicans standing up and sing to the president that on this one, you not being a conservative? well, i will stand here and certainly say that but your question is a much broader one to the political people who live on capitol hill. the republican representatives and senators denouncing what i think is a bad move if you are a free trade, but these tariffs are going to have a terrible impact on the american economy. look at today, look at last friday, with the us stock market has been doing, it has been cratering. the lack of confidence by investors

in these tariff moves should have republicans in the congress, standing up and saying mr trump, this is a bad idea. but the silence has been deafening. those who say he has been deafening. those who say he has manufactured a crisis year, knowing full well that the markets will take a beating so he can come in and save it and save it in the run—up to the 2020 elections for the upturn. having shown that he is taking a tough line with china, which everyone wanted him to do. good evening. it certainly would not surprise me if that is his calculus here. we know that the chinese ta riffs here. we know that the chinese tariffs will not take place until june one, we spoke to a diplomat is that one of the negotiation tactics by the chinese site is to insert a little bit of uncertainty in the last bit of negotiation, perhaps donald trump knows this and thinks that the chinese and the american sites will be owed to come together and he can be seen as the white

knight coming in to save it all. in looking at the a01(k)s and investments that are happening, i think the american voters are taking close attention to this insane, are you harming my investments was white it feels like playing with economic fire he says we need a fair deal with china, all of the europeans say yes, we need an end to state subsidies and we need a fair playing field, he said we are going to press for that and you know it, we are going to use ta riffs and you know it, we are going to use tariffs to do it. i am certainly one to say that the chinese have been manipulating our currency for many yea rs. manipulating our currency for many years. however, with the set up we have right now, is it really time to get into a trade war with the chinese. to put tariffs out there that are going to potentially harm consumer confidence here in america, harm corporations ability to want to spend money to keep the economic

engine going, as a free trader, this is not wise counselling and i'm curious to see who is saying, you know, people really should go to the oval office and say to the president, the american people are getting nervous by this tactic.|j president, the american people are getting nervous by this tactic. i am wondering if larry was thinking the exact thing and decided to go on fox news and say on television. i am just wondering if that was his tactic. it may have been the best way to get the message into the oval office. thank you very much for joining us. it is not usualfor a us secretary of state to cancel a foreign visit at the last minute. it is really unusual for america's top diplomat to cancel 3 in the space of a week. but that's what mike pompeo hasjust done — leading to speculation that something serious must be going on. mr pompeo was due to be in berlin on may 7 but cancelled his trip to fly to iraq. two days later he cancelled a visit to greenland in order to fly back

to washington to deal with tensions over iran. today he cancelled a trip to moscow and turned up at a meeting in brussels to tackle disagreements over iran. a state department official said secretary pompeo shared information on iranian threats with nato officials. we don't know what intelligence the us has that has caused the secretary to shift his travel plans so dramatically — but it is all highly unusual. we're joined now from los angeles by dalia dassa kaye. she's the director at the centre for middle east public policy at the rand corporation. thank you very much forjoining us. do you have any indication of what it is mike pompeo may have shared with what is so troubling with iran that made him shift his travel plans? well, i am not privy to private information but i think it is pretty apparent and public about

the concerns of the administration with iran which is concerns about some of its activities in the region, militia groups and potential for sabotage. and of course, it's recent for sabotage. and of course, it's rece nt m oves for sabotage. and of course, it's recent moves on the nuclear front but all of this really started as we now have approached the anniversary of the iran nuclear agreement. i think this was not surprising. what do you make of what we are hearing from the persian gulf as we are hearing that does make saudi arabian oil tankers were sabotaged on monday. early stages to say that it was their proxies but... yes, i think we need to be really careful here and be very wary about beating the drums of war, we have an escalation, and not just

the drums of war, we have an escalation, and notjust of rhetoric but actions on both sides. us designating the military wing of the iranian government as a terrorist organisation. so most of the people predicted this will lead to some potential iranian retaliation against us assets in the region. we also have the ending of waivers and exports to key nations, including oui’ exports to key nations, including our close allies. so the us is really putting the squeeze on iran and so this escalation is quite expected and the question is whether the iranian's intentions, it seems that there could be an interest in a statement last week saying to scale back its commitments in the nuclear deal. the united states will pay a price and notjust iranian disagreement and continued this maximum pressure against the leadership. i would love to have been a fly on the wall of this

meeting today of european foreign ministers, notjust to hear the intelligence that they are being sold but also the exchange because here they are getting together to try and save the nuclear deal, which the united states pull it out from to try ended avoid the kind of conflict and rhetoric we have heard over the weekend. and then unexpectedly, the secretary of state tells them all about it. it was quite unusual when he popped into iraq last week as well. the message most likely deal europeans was not surprising, was that he wants the europeans to stick with the united states and maximum pressure effort to get blood would be a better deal. the europeans very much want this agreement to survive, the iranians wa nted agreement to survive, the iranians wanted to survive as well and the question is whether the europeans can really do anything about it themselves. they cannot completely control their companies, which are not likely to give up the american

market for the iranian one, and there are many other parties, that are not there are many other parties, that a re not really there are many other parties, that are not really interested in the us having an engagement with the iranians. so i think it will be a tough sell in europe and i think there is also a lot of confusion about what ultimately the us goals are. one of the criticisms that has been raised is that the white house is squeezing iran very hard but it does not know what victory looks like. what it would define as a success and endgame, without that the policy becomes fluid and not particularly defined. the big danger is that we talk about iran and then we are moving to. they are not easily juxtaposed we are moving to. they are not easilyjuxtaposed before we are moving to. they are not easily juxtaposed before we we are moving to. they are not easilyjuxtaposed before we get going. she was a hollywood legend whose films entertained millions. the actress and singer doris day has died in california at the age of 97. her credits included calamity jane and pillow talk but she only turned

to singing as a teenager, after a car accident ended her dream of becoming a dancer. there was a split screen on pillow talk not unlike ours. a sucessful acting career followed and later in life, she became a high profile campaigner for animal welfare. her charitable foundation says her last wishes were to have no funeral, memorial service or grave marker. david sillito has been looking back at her life and career. doris day, cracking her whip as calamity jane. no one symbolised the hollywood of the 50s and early 60s better. # so whip crack away # whip crack away...# her romantic comedies were smart, glamorous box office hits. pillow talk with rock hudson won her an oscar nomination.

you ain't the kind of gal who would break a date. no, i'm not. and i'm not the kind of guy to ask you to. i had a great time and i think that they sensed it. i had fun. and wear all the gorgeous clothes and work with rock hudson and jimmy garner and clark gable, i mean, how bad can it be? as a child she wanted to be a dancer but a car accident ended that dream. she then discovered she could sing. with her stage name doris day she was one of the highest—paid singers in the business. calamityjane — we walk hand in hand, the world becomes a wonderland, it's magic. the film romance on the high seas was her first screen role and the star quality was immediately obvious.

she went on to become the highest paid actress in hollywood. in public, she was platinum grade, all—american good cheer. but in private it was a different story. you can't tell me what to do! this movie withjimmy cagney was perhaps a closer reflection of the first of herfour marriages. # que sera, sera # her move into tv was the consequence of her third husband leaving her virtually bankrupt. fashions had changed, her movie career was over. then in 1985 a reunion, a tv interview with rock hudson. a few months later, he would die from aids. show business was for doris day now over.

her life her animal foundation. her wishes are no memorial, no funeral, no grave marker. however, we will always have the films. # que sera, sera, what will be will be. #. she thought it was a children's song and only because alfred hitchcock insisted that she sing it that he became a hit later on. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news — actress felicity huffman's arrived at a boston huffman has arrived at a boston federal court to plead guilty

to charges in the largest—ever american college admissions scandal — we'll have the latest on the case. compared to the cool and at times wet weather we had, this week is looking much drier and also it is going to be a good deal warmer as well. , a glorious start with some early morning sunshine is the week goes by, we are looking at lots of sunshine the things warming up. temperatures could reach 2a celsius in northern scotland and the change of fortune has been due to the area of fortune has been due to the area of high pressure that is going to be with us for the next few days, the electric weather systems kept at bay. at the moment we do not have a great deal of cloud showing up on the satellite picture, lots of sunshine but you can see that is quite thin, so we are seeing some sunny spells breaking through that as well. a pleasant afternoon with

temperatures in most places climbing into the high teens, little bit fresher on the coastline of east anglia and at times can't but we have the onshore winds. high pressure with the some of the stays clear but warmer by day, generally not falling as far as they have, temperatures around four to six celsius, turning into some of our more rural locations but i think the most, he will not be too bad. coming up most, he will not be too bad. coming up on tuesday, again not not a lot of sunshine on offer, east anglia, kent and temperatures will be back a little bit but warm as the temperatures rise elsewhere, 20 in cardiff, when looking at images in the low 20s in scotland. in the middle of the week, our area of high pressure starts to drift a little

bit further northwards into scandinavia. you will notice not any ice bars on the charts, that means they winds will fall short, but temperatures will potentially reach 23 or 2a celsius but with the wind circulating around our area of high pressure, the highest temperatures will always be across the north and west of the country but i do not think there will be many complaints anywhere with more of the dry sunny weather, will be changing towards the end of the week, the weather turns a little bit cooler, a little bit cloudy and press of some rain in the sign by friday.

this is beyond 100 days, with me, katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. our top stories: donald trump is holding meetings with hungary's nationalist prime minister. the president has said viktor orban is tough and respected and he has made the right decisions on immigration. china retaliates in the escalating trade war with the united states — beijing says it won't give into pressure from president trump. coming up in the next half hour: felicity huffman appears in court today — the tv star is one of 50 celebrities accused of illegally assisting their children to get into top—lovel colleges.

at bottom! and more than 10 kilometres deep — an explorer breaks the record for the deepest journey to the bottom of the ocean. for the deepest journey the conservative hungarian prime minister, viktor orban, has been meeting with president donald trump at the white house. administration officials say the invitation is part of a concerted strategy to strengthen us ties with an important central european country, in a region where russia and china are increasingly exerting their own influence. donald trump says viktor orban being controversial is ok. critics say the invitation, the first for a hungarian prime minister in years, is emblematic of the president's preference for global strongman rulers over more traditional us allies. i'm joined now by cas mudde, professor of international affairs at the university of georgia. i understand that the hungarians had lobbied the americans in washington for some two years to get this meeting, why were they so keen? they we re meeting, why were they so keen? they were keen because increasingly viktor orban as finder get hard to

be acceptable to the rest of the eu, he has trouble with the european people's party, and he wants to make clear that what he claims to be, namely the leader of the new spirit, new zeitgeist, that he is that and so new zeitgeist, that he is that and so he saw trump from the beginning asa so he saw trump from the beginning as a like—minded person. he wants to prove that by his visit, that he is not marginal, he stands with the leader of the free world. has role in european politics is interesting because he has told us he is splitting from the european people's party which is the main conservative bloc within the european parliament. it could be that he brings together the populist forces on the right against them. would donald trump, with that help him in some way?m shows that he is a major player, an international player, and that is important because it will make the ppp the main right—wing group little

bit more hesitant to kick him out, but it also shows to the rest of the right—wing eurosceptic forces that he is notjust a leader of a relatively tiny country but ashley and international player, and so this comes at the perfect moment for him, he has been undera this comes at the perfect moment for him, he has been under a lot of pressure, even suspended, talk about him finally being kicked out. now he has this audience with the president of the united states. in the group or populist leaders that we see around the world at the moment, viktor orban is often cited as one of the more extreme, one of the most nationalist and controversial. is there any downside for donald trump in being seen to meet with him at the white house? no, i don't think so. the white house? no, i don't think so. most americans do not really know who viktor orban is, i do not care. he will present him as he did, a rabble—rouser, just like trump. someone who dares to say what he

wants to do, break the status quo. the established order. all of the things that trump sailed himself on. i don't think it really matters much. i do not thing this is about a populist international alliance, it is also a lot to do with a broader international struggle between the us and particularly both china and russia. and for mr viktor orban, does this give him concrete benefits in hungary? not necessarily, so there is a lot of talk about a major weapons deal between norway and hungary and the us. and in general, what it will show is that you can actually have good relations to all the major parties, notjust russia and china but also the us, and in that sense it will also make some of the business people a little bit more quiet and confident that he is

not screwing up all the particular relationships. thank you very much for coming in. looking at that statement from donald trump, he is controversial but that is ok, is there a sneaking admiration from donald trump? here is a man who has managed to avoid all oversight, got rid of some of the opposition media, rain then thejudges, rid of some of the opposition media, rain then the judges, some of that is what donald trump would like in the united states. yes, critics of mrtrump here fear the united states. yes, critics of mr trump here fear that there is an encroachment on the values of the bod democracy and the institutions of it bod democracy and the institutions ofiti bod democracy and the institutions of it i did the trip administration would point to viktor orban in these exact images and say, we told you so. it is very different what viktor orban has done and how great what donald trump has done, so far the institutions in the united states are holding exactly as they should be holding up at acting as they should be acting. there has not been that corrosion happening. elections

in europe. you will struggle to find a single person in westminster who believes the two main parties are about to discover a big brexit breakthrough, and yet almost six weeks on from the first meeting, labour and the conservatives resumed talks today. but to what end? two of labour's top politicians say there will be no agreement on any cross—party deal deal, unless it comes with a confirmatory vote. even now, it seems impossible for downing street to offer that referendum. so if it is to be the precondition, then the talks will fail. i think from the conservative point of view, we have always said we think that would be a betrayal of what people voted for and we want to implement the first referendum. let's see where those talks go. implement the first referendum. let's see where those talks golj have wanted a deal, i reluctantly came to the view there should be a confirmatory ballot, because i thought it was the only way we would break the impasse. thought it was the only way we would breakthe impasse. if thought it was the only way we would break the impasse. if a deal could be found at an spies enough votes in westminster, fine. but it seemed to me that is very difficult. and so, in ten days' time,

the brits will go to the polls in an election that was never supposed to happen. in fact, it was only confirmed the european elections would go ahead last week, the same day a deadline expired for voters to register. imagine, a ruling party calling an election, which it is not even sure it wants to campaign for. nonetheless, nine parties will take part across the country contesting 73 seats. the cost of holding the vote is estimated to be £150 million. and take a look at the latest poll — leave voters seem to be flocking to nigel farage's brexit party — it is on course to secure more support than the conservatives and labour combined. while this election wasn't expected to happen, it is a huge undertaking, and i'm joined now by the the person overseeing it, bob posner, the chief executive of the electoral commission. the businessman in britain right now, welcome to the studio. how long do you normally get to plan a european election? normally we know they are happening well in advance,

oi'i they are happening well in advance, ona they are happening well in advance, on a schedule of every five years. this is rather exceptional this time, as you say we did not know re ntal re ce ntly time, as you say we did not know rental recently for sure they were happening. may i say, for some time at the beginning of the year, the electoral commission have been working very hard and planning for the selections. in an ideal world, would you have choreographed it so you could have the local elections and the european election together as you did back in 2014, you share the cost and it is easier for your staff and all the polling stations around the country? that would have been your preferred option. edward have been a option, it does not have to be the case. —— it would have been. they do not happen by magic, think and terms of when you go and vote any polling station, literally hundreds of staff across the country. how many people do you have to employ? in the region of several thousand staff who will be working

in these elections to make them run well, 50,000 polling stations of literally millions of ballot papers and other documents, all being pulled together. people are already voting on postal ballots, they are already arriving at houses, polling cards have been distributed. they are happening. they will go through to polling day and subsequent counting. we should have addressed the elephant in the room which is that these must be the oddest elections that you have ever had to organise, given that we do not know what will happen to the people who are actually voted on, we do know what will happen with britain in the european union and whether these members will even take their seats or how long for. all elections are important, when one things about it they are opportunity for us to close our views and opinions and the fact they are happening is a good thing. what i would say is that the elections are happening, seats will be taken, and it is an opportunity

for people to vote. there has been a massive registration, we ran a campaign, over500,000 massive registration, we ran a campaign, over 500,000 people massive registration, we ran a campaign, over500,000 people voted to register, one wants a high turnout. what we all want is elections running well, i am sure that will happen, and then a sense elections are a celebration of democracy. the actress felicity huffman is pleading guilty to paying someone to cheat on her daughter's behalf on a college entrance exam. she was arrested with 50 other wealthy parents who had used bribery and fraud to secure their children spots at prominent us universities. today the former oscar nominee and one—time star of desperate housewives will appear in court in boston. prosecutors said she paid $15,000 to have someone secretly correct her daughter's entrance exam papers. we're joined now by nada tawfik — following the case from new york. what is the likely outcome? felicity

huffman very early on started cooperating with prosecutors, and so she reached a plea agreement in which a judge is likely to recommend a sentence of between 4—10 months in prison and a $20,000 fine, and with that plea agreement they promised that plea agreement they promised that they will not be any additional charges in this case. aggro three's lawyers did say that they would try to argue 0—6 months. —— felicity huffman's lawyers. this is before she pleads guilty, but her and several other page that my parents have gotten ahead, pleading guilty right away to get a lesser sentence. other parents have pleaded not guilty and it will be interesting to see how prosecutors treat these cases differently. give us a sense of the kind of outrage that theirs has or has not provoked in the

united states? amongst people, millions of whom go through the process of trying to get their children into college without using bribery orfraud. children into college without using bribery or fraud. absolutely, this has sparked a national debate about fairness and college entrances, but also this has sparked a larger conversation about inequality in this country. here you have wealthy parents who were able to afford the tuition for colleges, able to afford tutors for their kids, and yet they wanted to go the route of bribery and cheating to guarantee their kids and cheating to guarantee their kids a spot in an elite university. many people say that this again points to how the system is really rigged against ordinary people who do not have the same means stop you hear a lot of people, example minorities, social media is a light with people talking about how there was so much back—and—forth about affirmative action for african—american students, but saying here we have

wealthy parents who the system is in their favour and they still have to resort to bribery and cheating. a lot of outrage from this case. this is why this story travels so well. it is because the suspicion across the west is that rich people get their children into top universities and they find a way to do it. ijust wonder where they give more lenient sentences to those who have pleaded guilty, whether that will not anger a few people, because here we are again white—collar crime, the people who block the rules get away scott free. yes, and i think the prosecutors anticipated that in the first press conference when they announced these charges. they said there cannot be a separate criminal justice system for the wealthy the way these pairs try to crate a separate college entrance system. i think prosecutors here are trying to weigha lot think prosecutors here are trying to weigh a lot of things, 33 parents, 50 people overall in this scandal, they want to avoid lengthy trials,

they want to avoid lengthy trials, they want to avoid lengthy trials, they want to avoid the cost i go with that, so from a legal side one could say for them it makes sense to get these play agreements and say at the same time that they were tough oi'i the same time that they were tough on these parents. —— plea agreements. it is something that is arbitrary, how much time is enough when these parents to exports from students who are more deserving? athletic scholarships from students who were more deserving. felicity huffman admitted as much on her apology when she put out a statement that she was pleading guilty, saying that she was pleading guilty, saying that she was pleading guilty, saying that she apologised to students who had worked hard and parents who had gone through the correct processes and she hadn't. every time somebody did this, they took the spot away from somebody else who could not afford to play the system. swedish prosecutors have reopened an investigation into a rape allegation made against wikilea ks co—founder julian assange in 2010. the inquiry has been revived at the request of the alleged victim's lawyer. assange, who denies the accusation,

has avoided extradition to sweden for seven years after seeking refuge at the ecuadorean embassy in london in 2012. here's the swedish prosecutor. the circumstances now allow for an exhibition to sweden on the basis of a european arrest warrant. this was not the case prior to april 11 of this year. after reviewing the preliminary investigation, my assessment is that there is still a probable cause to suspect that julian assange committed rape. our correspondent caroline hawley is here. he has seen some of the charges. this dates back to a trip that julian assange made to sweden in 2010 stopped two women came forward

in august 2010 to say that they had been the victims of sexual assault there were three lesser allegations which expired during the long time thatjulian which expired during the long time that julian assange was inside ecuadorian embassy. statute of limitations on them. there is one outstanding rape allegation. the woman who has accused julian assange of having six without while she was asleep without using a condom, and asleep without using a condom, and as soonjulian asleep without using a condom, and as soon julian assange was right out of the ecuadorian embassy, she asked that the case be reopened. swedish authorities and swedish prosecutors are not informed of what was happening, they did not know, but that had over a month to consider their options and have decided to reopen the investigation. what impact does this have on the extradition process that has already started with the united states,

which jurisdiction trumps which?m is complicated. there are no, there will be of these two competing extradition requests, but legal experts that i have been speaking to said it would be the most serious allegation that would take precedence, and that would be great. that is over the computer intrusion. they can run concurrently? they could both at the same time apply?” know that the investigation of the swedish prosecutor said she could investigate while julian assange is serving his 50 weeks injail in belmarsh in london for skipping bail. but it would be up to the home secretary to decide which of the extradition request two would take precedence. —— extradition requests. donald trump and viktor orban in
