staying with the cloudy, most of us staying with the cloudy, largely dry theme. that is the picture for the rest of this evening and overnight. we have got clearer skies across scotland and that is allowing a little more mist and fog to form. quite a murky start your saturday morning here. temperatures in our towns and cities between 6-10, a in our towns and cities between 6—10, a few degrees cooler in more rural stops. a chilly start to saturday and we have all of that low cloud, mist and fog. the fog will clear away gradually from scotland to leave a bit more sunshine, especially in the north and the west but for the bulk of the uk, again a blanket of cloud, big enough in places for a spot of drizzle but most of us looking dry. temperatures in the state — ten, a little milder towards the west, 12—11i. into the second half of the weekend, more of the same. mostly dry and cloudy but not everywhere. we have some showers moving across northern ireland and scotland later in the afternoon and some showers into northern england and wales. so eventually something a little brighter moving on from the

north—west, whereas further south and east, you will keep all of the low cloud for just and east, you will keep all of the low cloud forjust one more day, for remembrance sunday. for most of us it looks like a dry day. temperatures 13—14 at best. then thatis temperatures 13—14 at best. then that is when things will change as we head through into the new working week. we will see this clear air mass working through in time for monday. so eventually we will lose the gloom and see some brighter skies. thank you, sarah. and that's bbc news at ten. on bbc one, it's time tojoin our colleagues for the news where you are — goodnight. next, it's newsnight.

what happened on the streets

of amsterdam last night? we speak to an israeli football fan who saw the attacks unfold. and with donald trump looking set for a clean sweep of the senate and house of representatives too, is his power unchecked? hello and welcome to newsnight, a half an hour of insights and interviews with our panel, politics professor ben ansell, who keeps a keen eye on the us election and has been a familiar face on newsnight over the last few weeks. also, giles dilnot, the new editor of conservative home, and observer columnist sonia sodha. but we're going to start with the attacks on maccabi tel aviv

football fans in amsterdam last night. 60 people have been arrested after the violence. youths on scooters had criss—crossed the dutch capital in what were called "hit—and—run" attacks on fans, who were visiting amsterdam for a europa league match. this footage has been verified by the bbc. and a warning, some of it is upsetting. now you know how it feels. free palestine- _ show your passport, show your passport — show your passport, show your --assort. ~ ., show your passport, show your --assort. ~ . ,, show your passport, show your ”assort . ., y., .,

the dutch king said the country could not ignore anti—semitic behaviour. israel later advised its citizens not to attend a euro league basketball game in bologna tonight. before last night's football match there were also reports of some of the israeli fans chanting racist slogans about arabs and tearing down palestinian flags. ami shooman is a photographer and fan who travelled to amsterdam to amsterdam with his 13—year—old son for the match and saw the violence unfold. we spoke as they waited at the airport for a rescue flight sent by the israeli government. after the game we went to a train near the stadium, the police took us to a train, and after we have been on the train we get out in the central station in amsterdam. no police, no—one to take care of us because they didn't know what is going to happen.

and suddenly a lot of people come to attack us, a lot of people, like a hundred, maybe more with the belts and the sticks and rock. they took everything that they can to beat the israelis, thejews. and a lot of people got hurt and injured. i didn't get injured and my son didn't get injured, we got lucky. a lot of people have broken teeth and a lot of scarring in the face and a lot of blood in the face. it was not a nice thing to see. how frightened were you? how frightened did you feel for, if not your life, then other people's lives? i was afraid because of my son's

life because my son is with me. he is a little bit shocked but this was our adventure in amsterdam. and last night when this was happening, did the police arrive? did anybody come to help you? were people taken to hospital? a little bit policemen was in the scene. i think they didn't get it and they are not used to this kind of situation here in the netherlands, and especially in amsterdam. it took a long time for them to come and to take care of us and to protect us. they didn't do so many things to protect us, only to try to get out all the vandals and all the violent people away from us. they took us to our hotels in the middle of the night, almost in the morning.

they took every group of people to their hotels and they told us to lock us in the rooms, don't get out, wait until everything will be over. and when you think back now, do you have any understanding of what happened? any explanation for how they knew you would be there? how it happened? we know why and we know the explanation. the situation in the middle east in israel, gaza, lebanon, all this. in our area we are used to it. we are used to all the shouting, free palestine, we know all these kind of things. did it feel organised? did it feel like an organised targeting? we know it was organised. we know, a hundred people coming together, they will know that we would be there, we know this is organised and the...

the police say no—one was there ready and prepared to this situation. a little bit shame. but i think that the most important thing is that everyone is safe now and we can go back to israel safe. and what do you make of reports that before the game some of the maccabi tel aviv fans were filmed reportedly chanting racist slogans about arabs in palestine and also tearing down a palestinian flag, attacking a taxi? have you heard about that? yes, i saw also the people that were pulling the palestinian flag, waving it in front of us to make a scene. we are used to it and we know all these kind of situations

all over our place in israel. i think that even if this thing wasn't going to happen, the people waiting for us, we know. so you don't think those things are connected is what you are saying, is it? it's not connected. it is going to happen anyway because we are there, because we came to see football and we are from israel. what does that mean for you in terms of how you feel as an israeli visiting europe? do you feel safe when you come to europe? yes, i feel safe, i feel safe, but i think europe needs to wake up. this is a wake—up call i think in europe, this thing that happened last night. a lot of people in amsterdam told us in the checkout in the hotel,

here in the airport in the security line, they start to tell us we are sorry, this is not us, this is not the holland people. i hope things like this will never happen again. i am not sure. ami shooman, thank you very much and good luck with your flight back home, thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. donald trump has won the white house. that's old news. his republican party also took control of the us senate this week. and they're confident that they'll take the house of representatives in the next day or two. so let's assess trump's power in his second term compared to the first. with fewer political or legal restraints, is his power unchecked and is that worrying? our panel are here. ben ansell, professor of comparative democratic institutions at oxford university, observer columnist sonia sodha

and giles dilnot, editor of conservative home. and joining us from chicago, miles taylor has served in two republican administrations, george w bush's and donald trump's where he was chief of staff in homeland security. he's been vocal in his criticism of trump. welcome to you all and welcome, miles. if we start with you, i was saying there it looks as if there are far fewer political, illegal restraints than they were back in 2016. is this going to be trump unleashed, do you think? well, look, the bi est unleashed, do you think? well, look, the biggest constraint _ unleashed, do you think? well, look, the biggest constraint for _ unleashed, do you think? well, look, the biggest constraint for donald - the biggest constraint for donald trump when he became president wasn't personnel and it wasn't the law, it was himself. he had never served in government before, he didn't have a great deal of familiarity with how the executive branch operated. frankly, a lot of things he wanted to do he suffered

setbacks over several years because he was trying to figure out how to navigate washington and how to navigate washington and how to navigate bureaucracy. but then he also got in his own way by persistently wanting to push the boundaries of the law to get things done. some of the time donald trump was very well aware he wanted to push the boundaries of the law, but often it was because he didn't fully understand the legal guardrails around specific issue areas. that cost him several years in advancing several things that he wanted to advance as part of his agenda. the biggest guardrail missing this time is that the unfamiliarity with government. donald trump comes in himself and with his team are no more of what he wants to do and how to do it and of course he will focus on bringing in people who are willing to execute that. i have been a progenitor of the notion that it would be second and third—rate players coming in two trump 2.0, and thatis players coming in two trump 2.0, and that is my worry. i think the silver lining is i have been surprised to

see there is actually a much deeper bench this time around and there are some interesting folks being talked about in key positions that give me and a lot of other conservatives comfort that it may not be asked tumultuous at the outset as some of us have said it would be. and. us have said it would be. and, miles, there _ us have said it would be. and, miles, there are _ us have said it would be. and, miles, there are people - us have said it would be. and, miles, there are people going in there now, but there were people backin there now, but there were people back in 2016 who are saying no to him. you are one of the first chief of staff. john kenny later said donald trump was a fascist. at the time people were saying no to the president. he talked about the personalities now and we said yesterday that the chief of staff, susan wiles, what does her appointment tell us about how trump is going to operate this time? look. is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles — is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles has _ is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles has a _ is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles has a reputation - is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles has a reputation as - is going to operate this time? look, susan wiles has a reputation as a i susan wiles has a reputation as a no—nonsense political operator. she is not a newbie when it comes to government. she served back in the

reagan administration, she has worked in the executive office of the president, she has worked inside the president, she has worked inside the executive branch and she has worked in the rough—and—tumble of body politics. [30 worked in the rough-and-tumble of body militia-— body politics. do you see her as a check? if you _ body politics. do you see her as a check? if you hone _ body politics. do you see her as a check? if you hone in _ body politics. do you see her as a check? if you hone in on - body politics. do you see her as a check? if you hone in on one - body politics. do you see her as a| check? if you hone in on one thing in particular— check? if you hone in on one thing in particular that _ check? if you hone in on one thing in particular that tells _ check? if you hone in on one thing in particular that tells us - check? if you hone in on one thing in particular that tells us a - check? if you hone in on one thing in particular that tells us a lot - in particular that tells us a lot about how susan wiles is going to operate is if the reporting is true, she indicated she would only take thejob as she indicated she would only take the job as white house chief of staff if she could control access to the president. that is absolutely crucial. the donald trump administration the first time around would go off the rails when unseemly types with bad ideas and often illegal ideas would get to the president and fill his head with things he couldn't do. susan wiles clearly knows this and she wants to run a tight ship. my former boss john kelly wanted to do the same thing. he was a marine general and he was unable to do it and it is unclear if susan wiles will be able to control the access to the oval office and the president and keep the white house more disciplined, but the fact she is trying is a good

world's riches democracy. he hasjust won he has just won the senate, he hasjust won the senate, he will probably— he hasjust won the senate, he will probably get the house of representatives. some of the constraints aren't there. he won the argument _ constraints aren't there. he won the argument. he's got those. it may not feel like — argument. he's got those. it may not feel like he — argument. he's got those. it may not feel like he needs to fight the system — feel like he needs to fight the system quite so much and also the idea of— system quite so much and also the idea of a _ system quite so much and also the idea of a trump presidency isn't new to people _ idea of a trump presidency isn't new to people who have been looking at america _ to people who have been looking at america. it's only six months ago that kamala harris came into the running — that kamala harris came into the running. people have been thinking about_ running. people have been thinking about the _ running. people have been thinking about the possibility of trent being president— about the possibility of trent being president and how you deal with that as a government or as a political party— as a government or as a political party to— as a government or as a political party to support. —— with the possibility— party to support. —— with the possibility of trump. we know that his unpredictability is predictable. you can— his unpredictability is predictable. you can scenario plan for that. miles. — you can scenario plan for that. miles. to— you can scenario plan for that. miles, to bring you back, it's been reported today that elon musk was on the call that donald trump made to president zelensky. what did you make of that? {line

not elon musk should be playing the foreign—policy role i don't know but i do think it is encouraging there is a set of folks who wouldn't have gonein is a set of folks who wouldn't have gone in who are now considering doing that. elon's role alongside the seam to be president is a good thing. the seam to be president is a good thin. ., , ., the seam to be president is a good thin. ., y., ., ,, the seam to be president is a good thin. ., ,, . ~ we the seam to be president is a good l thing-_ we know thing. how did you take it? we know that elon musk— thing. how did you take it? we know that elon musk is _ thing. how did you take it? we know that elon musk is erratic. _ thing. how did you take it? we know that elon musk is erratic. i _ thing. how did you take it? we know that elon musk is erratic. i think- that elon musk is erratic. i think he's right, it opened up space for other technologies, to get other financiers involved. the other interesting thing about elon musk as he has lots of interesting ideas himself. would anybody be that surprised if trump announced a mission to mars? that is clearly elon's dream. what he might do is take its own ambitions and plant them into trump's next term. does elon musk mean _ them into trump's next term. does elon musk mean what _ them into trump's next term. does elon musk mean what he _ them into trump's next term. does elon musk mean what he says all the time? does donald trump? people say don't take it that seriously. some ofthe don't take it that seriously. some of the american _ don't take it that seriously. some of the american public _ don't take it that seriously. some of the american public did - don't take it that seriously. some of the american public did that i don't take it that seriously. some of the american public did that and

just a department ofjustice indictment. and also what is the trump team signalling they will do? take trump a's name out of it, his name is charged. in any administration, the attempted assassination of the leader is just shy of an act of war. it is extraordinary. had they attempted the assassination of a sitting president that would be an act of war. i don't think we've seen the tip of the iceberg of this story and we know the iranian regime, because of actions during the trump administration, is hell—bent on going after trump and other officials who are part of the decision at the time to kill the head of the iranian revolutionary guard. that threat is still lingering with us. the iranians have a long memory. we are yet to see the severity of the us response. i will be looking to see what the biden team does in the coming days. so will we. thank you for coming onto the programme. d0 will we. thank you for coming onto the programme-— the programme. do come in the programme _ the programme. do come in the programme again. _ the programme. do come in the programme again. thank i the programme. do come in the

thinking we need to respond to kamala harris in 2024 because labour won't be going up for election until 2029. the inflation we had by that time will be seven years ago. and the channel crossings we have now might look different by that point. they don't want to set their whole strategy on a failed american election. ifkla strategy on a failed american election. ., , ~' strategy on a failed american election. ., , ,, , ., election. no but i think there is a clear lesson _ election. no but i think there is a clear lesson which _ election. no but i think there is a clear lesson which is _ election. no but i think there is a clear lesson which is if _ election. no but i think there is a clear lesson which is if people i clear lesson which is if people aren't— clear lesson which is if people aren't feeling good in terms of what is in their— aren't feeling good in terms of what is in their pocket, incumbents pay, and when — is in their pocket, incumbents pay, and when you look at the obr growth and when you look at the obr growth and the _ and when you look at the obr growth and the forecasts we've seen they aren't— and the forecasts we've seen they aren't great for living standards. they— aren't great for living standards. they may — aren't great for living standards. they may get lucky. they may get some _ they may get lucky. they may get some really great economic headwinds. but actually what this jump— headwinds. but actually what this jump election is forecast to do is not i% _ jump election is forecast to do is not i% off— jump election is forecast to do is not 1% off gdp. rachel reeves could be facing _ not 1% off gdp. rachel reeves could be facing the worst economic situation _ be facing the worst economic situation. i totally agree with you but i _ situation. i totally agree with you but i think— situation. i totally agree with you but i think the economy will be a massive, — but i think the economy will be a massive, massive factor. and such volatile politics. _ massive, massive factor. and such volatile politics. the _ massive, massive factor. and such volatile politics. the interesting i volatile politics. the interesting thin . volatile politics. the interesting thin is in volatile politics. the interesting thing is in the _ volatile politics. the interesting thing is in the 21st-century i volatile politics. the interesting thing is in the 21st-century the l thing is in the 21st—century the

points the last two elections and she found with a simple random digit dialling old school polling harris three ahead. suddenly everybody in the american polling panicked because all of the pollsters were waiting by this that and the other. they had all been herding. so lots of people including me... it wasn't 'ust ou! of people including me... it wasn't just you! we _ of people including me... it wasn't just you! we shouldn't _ of people including me... it wasn't just you! we shouldn't have i of people including me... it wasn't just you! we shouldn't have drunk| just you! we shouldn't have drunk the seltzer- _ just you! we shouldn't have drunk the seltzer. very _ just you! we shouldn't have drunk the seltzer. very good. _ just you! we shouldn't have drunk the seltzer. very good. with i just you! we shouldn't have drunk the seltzer. very good. with a i the seltzer. very good. with a ollster the seltzer. very good. with a pollster still _ the seltzer. very good. with a pollster still underestimated l the seltzer. very good. with a i pollster still underestimated trump. is there something fundamentally wrong with polling? and if you want to carry on watching newsnight, please turn over to bbc two, or watch on iplayer. do stay with us here on bbc news for all the latest headlines in the us and around the world, from the team here in washington. i'm sumi somaskanda in washington
