you're watching beyond 100 days. 0n the ground, iran is increasing its uranium enrichment, on twitter, it is stepping up its war of what is with the us visit. they have said that donald trump should learn from history and stop the genocidal points. mr thomas said he did not wa nt points. mr thomas said he did not want conflict with iran last week 110w want conflict with iran last week now he is talking war again. huawei a big height truck hit as google suspend services with the second biggest phone maker in the world. we are on the campaign trail in europe, ina are on the campaign trail in europe, in a pool are on the campaign trail in europe, ina pooland are on the campaign trail in europe, in a pool and come support for the eu is among the highest. the graduates that were passing out when

there is a informed them he would be clearing their student debts. i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. there isa christian fraser is in london. there is a rule of thumb in foreign policy that in the king genghis khan is not the best indicator of peace and harmony. so when the 13th century conquered cropped up in a tweet from tehran today, it was a sign of tension between iran and the us. right now, it all play out on twitter. 0n right now, it all play out on twitter. on a sunday, it mr tweeted this: to which iran foreign minister responded today: meanwhile, iranian nuclear officials

officially said that iran has quadrupled the production of enriched uranium saying the cap on enrichment no longer applies. let's start with the news coming out of iran today that they had increased production of low enriched uranium by about four full, how concerned should we be? we should be concerned. if we detect or learn about our producing highly enriched uranium, what you need to produce a nuclear weapon,... and uranium, what you need to produce a nuclear weapon, . .. and the uranium, what you need to produce a nuclear weapon,... and the case of low enriched uranium, there are many innocent purposes for it so it's something to watch. i don't know if it is necessarily panic mode yet. last week, mr trump suggested he did

not want a conflict with iran. they cannot be threatening us. with all thatis cannot be threatening us. with all that is going on, i'm not somebody that is going on, i'm not somebody that wants to go toward because what hurts economies, war kills people, most importantly. we will come back to iran, they have nuclear weapons. i think there is some confusion about what the president and his tea m wa nts. about what the president and his team wants. he doesn't want to take america into another conflict he is saying. then there is another tweet saying. then there is another tweet saying that this will be at the end of iran, whatever that means. what is your reading of where this is going and what signs are you looking for if there is good to be any kind of conflict? first, this is somewhat reminiscent of the with oracle contest that went on between president trump and kim jong un of

north korea, the pendulum swung from a very threatening rhetoric to a love affair. i don't know that the president is not reverting to a tried and tested technique, at least in his mind, perhaps for confusing the addressjohn in his mind, perhaps for confusing the address john germanic adversary. conventionally, that is not a good thing to do, this is not a conventional administration. particularly when the situation in the middle east is a powder keg anyway. what i worry about the most as if that is... any time you have chips of adversarial relationships, like in the korean peninsula, when very close pics imitate each other along the demilitarised zone. you have a great us force and the iranians are in very close proximity

to one another. the thing i would be concerned about is some sort of in a dented incident that could go incendiary. it's hard to watch for that, for signs of it, i think we do need to pay attention to what iran says. on that side, what baffles european officials is that donald trump is calling for a new negotiation, why would tehran agree to that when the americans have just walked away from a deal that he or for more president spent so much time trying to hatch?” for more president spent so much time trying to hatch? i actually don't know the answer to that question. 0ther don't know the answer to that question. other than we have made ourselves, to a certain extent, in isolation by pitching out of the joint conference of planned action. i don't think we will ever be able

to put together the coalition that actually brought iran to the table in the first place, because it was a global agreement to include the likes of china, russia, india, and other states, about sanctioning iran to bring them to the table to achieve the nuclear agreement. we are now kind of in isolation and i think perhaps other states would like to negotiate some arrangement to preserve the original agreement, even in the absence of the us. that is reporting in the british people today that senior figures within the intelligence agencies knew about the christopher steele dossier, the russia dossier which came out at the beginning of 2017. the new budget through the election and inauguration. if that was the case, and you were there as a senior figure of intelligence at the time, wouldn't it be in coming up for the

fbi to start the investigation if a respected intelligence agency like the mi6 were holding the dossier. respected intelligence agency like the m16 were holding the dossierlj the m16 were holding the dossier.” cannot speak to what kind of dialogue were taking place at the time. my position, what we saw the russians doing to meddle in the election campaign and the many, many contacts between members of the champ camp and russians, it seemed to bea champ camp and russians, it seemed to be a appropriate to me to at least investigate the potential counterintelligence implications. aside from the dossier. james clapper, former director of national intelligence, thank you forjoining us intelligence, thank you forjoining us in the studio. the points you is interesting, in the context of donald trump wanting to make some

kind of big deal. there is speculation in washington that the president would actually like a deal with iran, he would like to be able to sit down and produce some sort of medial that he say was on more favourable terms. his chance of producing a deal in north korea do not seem to be going very well, the chance of getting some kind of deal ina van chance of getting some kind of deal in a van at the moment, also, not looking very great right now, at least looking at the tweets coming out of the two sides. interestingly, the president trying another programme, jerry kushner, his son and bug the four stages of a peace initiative out of the white as well. the president looking for a can of big policy deal at the moment, these are difficult to get. as james clapper was saying, not very easy to put a collision together when it comes to iran when you have already walked away from a deal. why would the iranians trust the americans again when it took so long to put

that in 2015 deal together? north korea watching over what happens in iran as well which perhaps complicates lack prospect for a deal as well. google is suspending business with huawei four days after the white house added the chinese firm to a trade blacklist, as a threat to national security. at the moment, huawei is the second—biggest mobile phone maker in the world, but googles decision affect that. owners of future huawei had sex may not be able to download things like google maps, gmail, and google play. today, ina maps, gmail, and google play. today, in a huawei spokesman said that future access to public apps could not be guaranteed. a question of what is going to happen in a future with updates. at this stage, we are not quite sure how this will pass out. this is not a security issue, it is all tied to the china — us trade negotiations. i have every

hope and expectation that this will come to a rapid conclusion. they stuck to our technology corresponded in san francisco. news today that intelligence chiefs have been briefing executives of the big tech company companies and places in san francisco and sharing classified information. is that an encouraging shift in thinking? i think what the big companies are hoping is that this is very quickly solve. i got that sense talking to google when this news broke on sunday, they really what this out the way, they wa nt really what this out the way, they want their customers to have the same access. of want their customers to have the same access. of course, want their customers to have the same access. of course, if the us security services have it their way, that could essentially go against american interest. this is that the company that america say cannot be trusted, could one day be used to spy trusted, could one day be used to spy on americans so there is this very interesting dilemma for the big tech companies in this country who

work very closely with huawei to provide their services to them and rely on huawei for a lot of their business. no must work out how they will solve this and keep their businesses and all of them searches up businesses and all of them searches upa lot businesses and all of them searches up a lot of back—and—forth about how the us can be tough on huawei in the way they want without harming their owi'i way they want without harming their own businesses in america as well. from huawei's point of view, does this affect their position as the second biggest provider of smartphones in the world, does it lose that position? it certainly makes it much more difficult to hold onto that position. the company we selected it wanted to be at the numberone selected it wanted to be at the number one manufacturer of smartphones in the world. they were making great progress towards achieving that, they grew by 50% in just the last year, at a time when smartphone sales overall have been going down. watch this move could do, ithink going down. watch this move could do, i think it could hasten the div

element of huawei plus my own operating system. rather than turning to google's android as it has done up until this point, it could turn to its own. the problem i'iow could turn to its own. the problem now is that some of google's services like youtube, gmail, things that consumers expect on their devices, they may no longer be on huawei devices, that may make celtic numb to consume huawei devices, that may make celtic i'iuitiij to consume as huawei devices, that may make celtic numb to consume as much more difficult. so this does put huawei ina very difficult. so this does put huawei in a very difficult position. what cannot be understated is that this is notjust cannot be understated is that this is not just software we are talking about, it could be critical components within the phones as well. there are companies that make chips for huawei from america, they need that help to make its films work. up to 30 american companies among its supplies. joining us from cambridge as charters are far, a writer. the danger for american

companies is that this could fast forward the advance of similar technologies in china ? forward the advance of similar technologies in china? it has all sorts of risks. for huawei, this is the existential risk they were worried about. they sell about half of their bones inside china, google is banned in china, no problem for them there. equally, found outside of china, at a stroke, it means all those future sales are gone. so what options do they have? if they do their own operating systems, they do not really have all the apps that people would want. although there is a slim chance because there is a european commission decision, meaning they have to be independent, 51313 meaning they have to be independent, app stores, you would still have two to persuade all the developers of popular apps to rewrite the apps to i’ui'i popular apps to rewrite the apps to run 011 popular apps to rewrite the apps to run on their operating system so they don't really have many choices here. it is very difficult to see

quite how to get out of it. we are talking specifically about smartphones here, but generally, this is about the brand of huawei. they are involved in other technologies, such as the roll—out of 5g networks. isn't there a body like the damage done to huawei is irreversible? you were saying that donald trump was looking for a deal elsewhere, north korea and iran is probably not doing it. it looks like he might want to get a china trade deal and if he can get huawei to somehow agree to things, maybe he can find things tit—for—tat, in terms of his trade deal there. there is also a drive coming from the intelligence community, not just is also a drive coming from the intelligence community, notjust in the us but also in australia, new zealand, and the uk, where they do not trust the systems of huawei,

especially 5g. huawei says it is unjustified but the suspicion remains that in the intelligence community, i suspect they are behind the dried in the us for donald trump to make this announcement. a sort of twin wind for donald trump, partly oi'i twin wind for donald trump, partly on trade was, partly on the intelligence community. clarify that for us, charles. the kind of community atomic security concerns that the us has been expressing to the uk, in terms of its 5g networks. to what extent is huawei being used asa to what extent is huawei being used as a budding chip in the trade wars? if so, can we expect china to retaliate? i think we should expect china to retaliate in some way. huawei is a very prestigious brand there, it has been very important for it. for it to be cut off at the knees, not able to get into the us

networking business, not able to sell it smartphones outside of china — that is quite a hit. i would expect it to take some touch of retaliatory action against the biggest us brand that sells over there, which is apple. 0ne biggest us brand that sells over there, which is apple. one can imagine they would find excuses for holding up shipments, mining apple for some reason inside china and the whole thing escalates. there has beena whole thing escalates. there has been a breakdown in trust between the us and china. the intelligence community think that china is a dangerous growing superpower, china sees dangerous growing superpower, china sees itself as a sort of rightful heirandl sees itself as a sort of rightful heir and i really want to move forward on this. idon't think we will get us out of renegotiation, i think the trust has broken down and i don't see it think the trust has broken down and idon't see it improving. think the trust has broken down and i don't see it improving. thank you for joining i don't see it improving. thank you forjoining us. the last time european the parliament held elections was 2014, a lot has happened since then. my in crisis,

brexit, the rise of populism, the lingering economic crisis. the vote this week will test the mood of a continent, our people to keen to defend the eu and what it stands for 01’ defend the eu and what it stands for or will the robust nationalist agenda gained ground? more than people are eligible to vote, it is the biggest electorate aside from india, the world. the uk is taking pa rt india, the world. the uk is taking part because there is no brexit deal yet. voters will elect 751 members to the european parliament, the bigger the population of the country, the more seats it is allocated. in one of the most popular eu countries, ross is visiting one of the countries who have had a major say in europe. he joins us from warsaw. very high approval rating throughout polling for the european union but slightly different visions of what paul and's role could be within the eu. what are they? this is what is so

interesting here, over 70% of poles saying that they approve of the european union, way higher than the uk, germany and france. at the same time, there is a relatively popular government led by the party in charge, centre—right party, it is very critical of the eu. it says, stop messing around with our judicial reform, we will do what we like. it is also very critical of very few many eu member states, on issues like lgbt rights. so you have a eurosceptic party, popular with polls, but at the same time, polls like the european union. the key thing to that is that poland receives more money from the eu than any other member states. staying in the eu is not on the table for the government because people here can feel the benefits all at the time. 0n

feel the benefits all at the time. on saturday, you were in milan, i'm not jealous one on saturday, you were in milan, i'm notjealous one bit, milan on saturday where the focus is very much on the movement of the populist parties, the likes of the nominally five star movement in italy. do you get a sense from them that they are prepared to align themselves in a future european parliament with the likes of marine le pen, the afd, or other splits between them? as you say, these are nationalist parties, as such, they put their countryfor us. as such, they put their countryfor us. we can judge as such, they put their countryfor us. we canjudge how far mrs albini is getting by who is on stage with him. marine le pen turned up, representing her party in france. the freedom party from the netherlands was also there, they are willing to work as well. there were two very conspicuous absentees,

looked at all but was not there. the law and justice party, the people in charge in poland, though there are nationalist sentiments they may share with other people, they say that they are not going to work with marine le pen. while it is easy to see these far right parties initially parties in one coherent block, mr salvini would like to see that, we know what they oppose, they oppose brussels in its current form. that does not necessarily mean they we re that does not necessarily mean they were gone. remember, there will be full coverage of the results on a sunday on our special programme on the bbc from inside the european parliament in brussels. that is the results, from 8pm gmt on bbc world news. going to be fascinating.

commonalities between some of these parties but also all their own distinct local issues as well which is perhaps why they cannot come together so easily to form and an umbrella group because they all have their own electorates to respond to. all government ministers representing the far right freedom party in austria have resound as a follow—up from the corruption scandal involving its disgraced leader grows. a news conference was told that they were unfit to carry out an investigation into a video which appears to show the party without talking to a russian investigator. lawyers representing julian assange have said that ecuador have given his possessions to us authorities, including his duck mentation and electrical equipment. his lawyer said that his possessions were left behind when he was arrested from the embassy last month, saying that it it was unprecedented in the history of

asylum. mr assange is wanted in the us for conspiracy charges. thousands of people are out on the streets to celebrate manchester city bustling historic domestic treble win. they are the first ever men's team in the english game to achieve all three domestic titles in one season. my husband, a man city supporter, very happy this weekend. police in paris have evacuated the eiffel tower to deal with a man climbing up the outside. he is reported to have bought a ticket to the second floor before climbing out to skill the remaining 150 metres to the top of the third stage. i should know this because i have children in american universities, they are famously expensive but do you know quite how expensive? it is not uncommon for a student here to pay $70,000 a year

to go to college. since undergraduate degrees in america are four years, that is a total of and $80,000. most families can afford to pay that outer of pocket so students getjobs and pay that outer of pocket so students get jobs and take pay that outer of pocket so students getjobs and take out large loans. the average american college stu d e nts the average american college students leave university with $40,000 of debt. the national student loan debt is a stunning 1.5 children dollars. which is why it was a very big deal this weekend when this happened. morehouse couege when this happened. morehouse college graduation ceremony in georgia. 0n college graduation ceremony in georgia. on behalf of of the eight generations of my family who have beenin generations of my family who have been in this country, we are going to put a little fuel in your bus. i have got the alarm night over there, this is the challenge to you. this is my class, 2019.

cheering. my cheering. my family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans. wow can you imagine? he is paying for 396 graduates, the total intake this year. they have not worked outjust what sort of debt he is paying off. about 40 million, apparently. extraordinary. this is a big issue, student debt, notjust in the uk but perhaps more so in the us, the bigger debt. let me tell you the uk figures for people watching. currently, more than 16 billion is loaned to uk students, 1 million stu d e nts loaned to uk students, 1 million students a year. the depth of the average student, £32,000. the value of the total student debt in a 38 yea rs, by of the total student debt in a 38 years, by the middle of the century, will be £450 billion. $1.5 trillion

here in the us is the value of us student loans was that if you think people graduate with an average of $40,000, a lot of people are getting it paid in other ways, through financial aid or their parents. that means the people graduating with this kind of debts, most of them are getting much more, $80,000 one guy said he had a from morehouse college this weekend. it is great that robert smith, a philanthropist, abel uni himself, has written of the doubt for that graduating class. but 40 —— doubt for that graduating class. but 40 -- 4.5 doubt for that graduating class. but 40 —— 4.5 million students have graduated this year from american colleges, they will still have to pay their debts. you cannot rely on individual flat was declared people's debts, there must be a better system. not enough benefactors to go around. housing is so benefactors to go around. housing is so expensive. 0ne benefactors to go around. housing is so expensive. one for future governments. this is beyond 100 days. coming up, a republican

congressman becomes the first in his party to say there could be grounds for impeaching donald trump, all still to come on the programme. plenty of dry weather on the way this week, leading up to the bank holiday weekend when there will be a few minor changes on the way. for the rest of this week, it is looking largely dry, that is building cloud and a few showers around today. this is the satellite picture as went through the afternoon. still some sunny spells, but from the cloud, you may have been any heavy downpour, they were very hit or miss. a lot of the showers developing through the day fade into tonight, by after midnight, barely any tonight, by after midnight, barely a ny left tonight, by after midnight, barely any left but we will keep this area of cloud and summer rain at times affecting parts of northern scotland. if you mist and fog patches developed as the night goes

on, temperatures dropped to 4—8d for most of us as tuesday starts. tuesday, there will be a lot of fun trying to start the day, enough of the central belt in scotland, thick cloud and some outbreaks of rain. some showers that come throughout the day. much of england, wales, into northern ireland will still dry. more in the way of sunshine converted today, still like twins out there and it will feel a bit warmer, more spots into the high teens, even 20s for some. a little change for wednesday, an aerial figure cloud and rain into shetland, still showers around parts of scotla nd still showers around parts of scotland and north—east scotland but very few to be found elsewhere. there will be a mix of cloud and sunshine, as ever, with that sunshine, as ever, with that sunshine, light winds, it will feel pleasa ntly sunshine, light winds, it will feel pleasantly warm. for the rest of this week, a lot of dry weather to come. you may catch one or two showers, warmth in the sunshine out of dry weather to come. you may

catch one or two showers, warmth in the sunshine and the ones enhanced by the fact that the winds are light. going into the bank holiday weekend, it looks as though the winds will pick up a little bit. the jet stream pattern is not doing much for the uk at the moment but going into the weekend, it holds that you ta ke into the weekend, it holds that you take a more direct out towards others, bringing in a few weather systems. a bit more of a mixed bank holiday weekend, perhaps a little bit cooler, the breeze will pick up a bitand bit cooler, the breeze will pick up a bit and there will be a few weather systems at a time there will still be dry weather and sunshine at times too through the weekend.

this is beyond 100 days... with me, katty kay, in washington, christian fraser is in london our top stories... iran's foreign minister has dismissed president trump's threat to destroy his country, saying washington should try showing iranians some respect. google blocks huawei from using some of its apps and services. another blow for the chinese tech giant and second biggest maker of global smartphones. coming up in the next half hour... miami could be underwater within 80 years. we'll hear from the city's mayor as he visits the netherlands looking for solutions. and, all men must die — it's a common phrase in game of thrones. but it's also the case that all shows must die,

a republican congressman says there may be grounds for impeaching president trump. yes a republican. justin amash from michigan is the first within his party to break ranks. he is known as a libertarian and he has criticised donald trump before. this is what he tweeted. "contrary to attorney general barr's portrayal, mueller‘s report reveals that president trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment." so far no other republicans havejoined him but the president has responded... "how do you 0bstruct when there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side? justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!" for more on the impeachment threshold we're joined now by kim wehle, a professor of law at the university of baltimore. nancy pelosi has always said that there has to be by party bipartisan

treatment for considering impeachment of donald trump, does she count as bypass and —— does one senator account as bypassing? no,. it is tried in the senate and the chiefjustice presides over that. i think what she is saying is that the boats are not there. everyone is marching with tina trump right now. 99% -- with marching with tina trump right now. 99% —— with team trump. 19% of the republican party are not matching with team trump —— 99%. republican party are not matching with team trump -- 99%. we have a situation where within the justice department we cannot take action against the present, so it has to be in the congress and structurally. there has to be pushed back to all

power in the united states and the congress has to be the one to step up congress has to be the one to step up and into some scrutiny to that president and all presence going forward. if this present gets by with the president —— scrutiny, the office, the presidency becomes above the law. one of the interesting thing that he has said is that he has read the entire report. it got me thinking about the backs of the other side and have so many few of them have read the entire withdrawal agreement. i guess it is similar with the miller report. it is deep, it is far—reaching and it takes a lot of going through. —— the miller report. i guess there are many —— they mueller report report and i guess there are many who have not read it. i think it is difficult to look at that and say there is no evidence that there is impeachment here. ithink evidence that there is impeachment here. i think anyone reading that honestly would agree that these are serious issues and that there should

be some political checks on this present and every single present going forward. —— every single present going forward —— this president and every single president going forward. it is interesting looking at the reaction. we have had a tweet from the president who says he has a little. a committee saying they are stamping on it and party, a minority leader and he has, almost to stem the bleeding to dare anyone to stem the bleeding to dare anyone to step forward. it is showing that this has become trump as my party rather than the republican party full stop he has a primary challenger image can. if you look behind the curtain, with this president, you're going to be at. —— he has a primary challenger in michigan. that is a really unfortunate for the american people because that process, regardless of as an office, that leads to an

autocracy and in that instance, individual rights are the first to go. can i clarify something? the presence and how can you obstruct, when there is no crime? 0bstruction of justice and when there is no crime? 0bstruction ofjustice and the underlying crime ofjustice and the underlying crime of collusion or conspiracy with russia separate things. you can obstruct justice, even russia separate things. you can obstructjustice, even if there was not a crime? his statement is incorrect. the attorney general has said that there had been an indictment of the people on obstruction when there is not an underlying crime. that is well established. you are not better that more are going to follow him, which? mitt romney give a kind of half—hearted adjustment of what he said, although he also said that we cannot condemn the impeachment route because there is not public support and there is not support any senate. —— we cannot go down the impeachment route. floods of republicans? i am not singing. no.

two weeks ago at a meeting in finland, the secretary of state mike pompeo was enthusing about the new opportunities the melting ice caps would present for trade. "it will cut shipping—times from asia to the west by as much as 20 days," he said. there was no reference to climate change, no reference to the threat that is faced by many coastal cities here in america, from the resulting rise in sea level. miami is one such city. sea levels we are told could rise by nearly 6 feet by the end of the century. and the average elevation in miami is 6 feet above sea level. so what to do? the mayor francis suarez has just arrived in the netherlands, to see how the city of rotterdam has been adapting. mr suarez, rotterdam is a city that has been dealing with rising sea levels for almost 20 years, so what have you learned on yourjourney around the city? what rotterdam does that the city of miami has yet to implement is they are using public spaces for reservoirs and they are learning how to convert water, which some would consider to be a liability, into an asset, into

something they can live with and deal with. particularly with major flooding events. in miami, we have different kinds of phenomenon. 0ur phenomenon are mostly based on hurricanes, storm surges, which is actually the hurricane pushes the water over the sea walls, into the land and then we have, twice a year, what they call dry day flooding, or king tide flooding where the tides will actually pull the water from our porous subsoil and we'll have flooding with no rain. we define ourselves as what we call above the ridge or below the ridge. we have a natural ridge that elevates the city to about 20 feet. everybody below that ridge in the coastal areas is at risk. we are talking about billions of dollars and tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people that are at risk. you're part of the global commission on adaptation. in fact, i think you're the only american mayor on it. this is a group that's bankrolled by bill gates, among others.

but you're not the only part of the country at risk. we have had some of the worst wildfires we have seen to date in california, puerto rico has been devastated, huge areas of florida are at risk. are other republican mayors, like you, starting to sit up and pay notice? you cannot deny what is happening. i cannot sit in three feet of water in my financial district and pretend it is not happening. i am also the chair of the environment committee for the entire us conference of mayors, which set a national policy. which sets national policy. so i am now in a global commission, helping to set a global environmental policy, and adaptation policy, but i'm also on a national committee convincing mayors, really from both parties, this is not a partisan issue, this should not be a partisan issue. the president is making it a deeply partisan issue. i will read you his recent comments. "i think something is happening on climate change, i do not know that it is man—made. i don't want to give trillions

and trillions of dollars dollars to it. idon't want to lose millions and millions of jobs." cities like yours, in fact, the world at large has no chance of meeting these targets if the commander—in—chief, donald trump, is going to treat it as a partisan hoax. i departisanise it, depoliticise it, by taking away some of the rhetoric and focusing not as much on causality as i am on what is actually happening. how manyjobs would we lose if the insurance industry decided to stop ensuring properties in the city of miami? how manyjobs would we lose if a hurricane came in and levelled our city? how much would the federal government have to spend in reimbursements, which they have had to spend they have had to spend billions reimbursements, which they have had to spend billions of dollars in reimbursements post our last hurricane season, so i think for us we are focusing on adapting, we are focusing on front end infrastructure investments so that we can avoid some back—end cost.

he is a realistic guy. he has multiple realistic properties in a south florida and he has to know... as well as in london. about ensuring that he is paying on its properties that his properties are vulnerable. exactly, these places, and he has several trump properties in south florida. goodness me what did happen of his other properties are flooded. if climate change becomes a big issue in the climate change —— the election campaign, this could hurt donald trump? yes, we have been talking about how they have not been a flood of republicans joining justin amash to criticise him on the impeachment, but you are seeing some of the republicans break pic with him on the issue of climate change especially miami dustup you had republicans running office saying it

is real, climate changes will, it is man—made and we have to deal with it. they are putting themselves at odds with the president. we do see party splits and this will be an electoral issue when it comes to the next election. until recently he was a comic actor, who played a president on ukrainian tv. today volodymyr zelensky was inaugurated as the real president of ukraine. the country is plagued by deep rooted corruption, and still largely at war with russian—backed forces in the east. in his acceptance speech mr zelensky wasted no time in confronting the establishment — he called for the dissolution of parliament and snap elections in july. and he went on to say that ending the conflict with russian—backed rebels in the east is his top priority. translation: i can assure you i am ready for everything to ensure that our heroes are no longer killed. i'm

certainly not afraid of making tough decisions. i am certainly not afraid of making tough decisions. 1am ready certainly not afraid of making tough decisions. i am ready to lose my popularity, my ratings and, if ready, i'm ready to lose my post without hesitation for peace to be achieved. and to never lose our territory, never. let's talk now to anna korbut from the international affairs think tank chatham house. he urged the parliamentarians to lift immunity, i bet that went down with a? these are popular moves with the general population because the rating of trust or approval of parliament, of the current parliament is quite low. he is a little bit like emmanuel macron, he has a descriptor. he has come to the fore and he has no party infrastructure to stop —— he is a

disruptor. it equals these early elections to fill his own supporters. that is the question that a lot of people in ukraine are asking. it is true that he has, or his team has built his political ascent on mccrone —like tactics and attracting volunteers —— emanuel macron's like tactics. to be honest, we do not know anyone who would be in the party. although right now it is polling at the highest among all the others. mr solanki said today that —— mr zelenksy said that he wa nted that —— mr zelenksy said that he wanted to end the conflict in the east of ukraine one of his priorities. he is up against president putin, who has been a politician for decades, who is about the experience. to the people of ukraine really believe that he has the political know how to deal with

somebody like president putin?” think that people who are critical of mr zelenksy do not believe that and mr putin's press secretaryjust stated that putting is not planning any stated that putting is not planning a ny co nta ct stated that putting is not planning any contact in the near future with —— mr putin is not planning any contact with hamas in the near future. they are saying that it is an internal conflict within ukraine, which is different from the line that ukraine presses. a lot of supporters of zelenksy might want this to be true, but i am not sure if they are mr zelenksy themselves will be able to say how they were able to accomplish peace, rather than sunset legacy spa or the return of—— than sunset legacy spa or the return of —— rather than cease fire or the return of a ukrainian were prisoners from russia. i would say, when you're trying to forge a party from

the beginning, you cannot get people or do your due diligence. people sneak and who have things hidden in the closet. it is not always a good way to start. is it? no. still waiting for that call from mr putin to her congratulations, but it has not come yet. —— for his congratulations. the government didn't plan on taking part in the eu elections —— but with no deal on leaving the eu agreed, the vote is going ahead and many of the parties see it as a verdict on brexit. similar issues play into the vote in the rest of the european union. 0ur europe editor, katya adler, assseses what the elections mean, for the future of the eu. self—styled man of the people matteo salvini in italy. as we debate brexit, those in italy are scared of

them like him. those like marine le pen who came to italy and they are promising fewer migrants, more security, fewer mosques and less interference from brussels. the crowd loved it. what is far from clear is whether domestic focus nationalists like matteo salvini, who shouts italy first, or a marine the pens who want transfers, can it really work effectively on the european stage. —— marine le pen. 1 ask matteo salvini about the ask chelation is that he is a fascist, racist and danger. translation: look at all the families. they are not fascist. they are a ghost of the past, fascist. we are the future.

they may fail to get the numbers to transform the eu as they wish. your‘s voters want change, but not all look to the populist right. environmental groups and the populist left expect bests. —— european voters want change. with so many europeans determine to rain on the parade of traditional political parties, governments of the eu big to, france and germany, are afraid that there campaigns are falling flat. further weakening angela merkel and emmanuel macron at home. the german chancellor has kept a low profile and she is now facing —— being the face of the party. translation: we are determined...

with seeds splintered between so many groups, though making and change will be tough. just as calls for eu reform are at their loudest. we will have all of those results over the weekend on a special programme. this is beyond 100 days. still to come — 0ne one of her favourite ads involves interpretive dance. the chelsea flower show and the duchess of cambridge unveiled her own garden. who better tojudge mum's handiwork and her three young children? georgia, charlotte and

louis testing at the guardian that the duchess created —— george. the children have collected leaves, moss and twigs created in the design. it has been a very personal product —— project for the dutch as the real interviewed on this she wanted to speak out. there's so that kiddies can learn an environment like this. they can learn life skills. things like empathy, from watching from watching plant grow. it is an open play again for them. it is a natural space and a really exciting space for kiddies and adults alike. to share and explore and hopefully thatis to share and explore and hopefully that is what this garden brings. two local primary schools were first into the garden this morning under the watchful eye of the duchess. oh

my goodness, there are so many people out there! she climbed into the tree has to chat and even had to explain to curious minds that she would normally wear gardening gloves to protect her hands and her engagement ring. how have you been doing? not supplanting? this evening, —— dot of planting this evening, —— dot of planting this evening it will be viewed by the queen and the royal family. this year it has a garden that was designed by one of their own. game of thrones is over. every good show must come to an end. anyone who tells you that, clearly hasn't watched it, this is an absolute disaster. the final 80 minutes aired overnight — and that's it. no morejon snow, three eyed ravens. no more kings landing.

how are we going to survive? when a show as big as this ends there can never be a perfect conclusion and so there are bound to be, christian included, some disappointed fans. these past 24 hours social media has been inundated with reactions from around the world. it's been a mixed bag — the finale by all accounts is good — but it could have been better. i will not tell you what happens. some have called for a complete remake of season eight with an online petition collecting more than 1.2 million signatures. so we are going to speak to a game of thrones superfan —

who goes by the name lady geoffery crescent. she writes for a game of thrones online community called ‘watchers on the wall'. and geoffery, i have avoided twitter all day, if you give it a way, you mightjust end up like varys the whisperer. very carefully, tell me what it is like. is it good. ithought it very carefully, tell me what it is like. is it good. i thought it was a really great finale. i absolutely understand why people are not satisfied. it is impossible when you have a show with a fan base that huge to satisfy everyone, but i thought it was a very fitting sendoff to the show. there are certain characters, some of my favourite characters, who got a really well deserved and a satisfying ending. so for me, it was a really good finale. do you feel it is right that it has ended? that we came toa is right that it has ended? that we came to a full stop, we move on? or do much there is going to be another season? that is kind of difficult to say. part of me is glad that it has ended. it is rare when you have a show with this miniseries, where the show with this miniseries, where the show runners have been allowed to dictate how long the show is, ——

with this miniseries. so it is nice to get some closure and how that conclusion. the other part of me, of course, said i would love to see another series, i would love to have more episodes. i love the show and i love these characters and i would love these characters and i would love to watch it. all things had to come to an end and i think the longer the show went on, they would not be able to keep up this kind of quality. so, although i am very sad it is over, it is lovely it culture and heritage and when it did. my wife is also very glad because i am the only one in our house and i have to watch it when everyone has gone to watch it when everyone has gone to bed. some of it has been truly, truly exhausting. episode two, the battle against the night king, it was like being a burnley fan play against manchester city next. wave upon wave of attacks on defence. it was never ending and by the end of iti was never ending and by the end of it i was lying on the couch, my god, will it ever end. everybody dies expect everybody dying in it! yeah,

there are certain episodes that can be exhausting and grilling because ofa be exhausting and grilling because of a battle episodes, make you feel like they have been that you have been through the ringer. emotionally. you can say that again. i'm glad you did not it away. thank you. thank you forjoining us. the penultimate episode, where dennis gets on the dragon and basically torches at the whole of kingsland, —— where dany gets on the dragon and torches kings landing. some have said, they want her to be on the throne, others have said to make highly questionable leadership decision! i am so tempted to give it away! we are in the final week of the european election campaign. and right now, across europe,

politicians are putting the finishing touches to carefully crafted speeches, hoping to find something, some words to leave a lasting impression. and i say to politicians stop. stop speaking. and take a lesson from alex dyson, who ran in the australian elections this weekend as the independent candidate for wannon, in the south west state of victoria. no words. but a political message delivered entirely through the medium of interpretive dance.

plenty of dry weather only way this week. leading up to the bank holiday weekend. there will be a few minor changes anyway, . weekend. there will be a few minor changes anyway,. but for the rest of this we get is looking like to and building cloud and if you show around today. this is the satellite picture as we went through the afternoon. still some sunny spells, mind you, but from the cloud if you cut a shower, you may have been caught ina cut a shower, you may have been caught in a heavy downpour. were very hit and miss. a lot of the show that developed through the day fed into tonight and so by this after midnight, there are any left. we will keep this area of rain and cloud at times affecting parts of northern scotland. if you mist and fog patches are developed at the net goes on and the temperatures drop off after the one for the day.

fa ct and they weren't enhanced by the fact that the winds light. now, going into the bank holiday weekend, it looks as if the winds are going to start to pick up a little bit. the jet stream pattern to start to pick up a little bit. thejet stream pattern is not to start to pick up a little bit. the jet stream pattern is not really doing much for the uk at the moment, but going into the weekend it will just start to take a more direct contract towards us. bring in if few weather systems as well. a little bit more mixed over the bank holiday weekend. it will feel perhaps a little bit cooler. ever so slightly cooler. there will still be some drier weather and some sunshine to be had at times too. through the weekend. goodbye.
