i think mrtrump has it is too early for a deal. i think mr trump has made various promises.ut on healthcare so getting tough on china is probably in line with his thinking. there is some risk that it gets verily robust between him and china —— fairly. certainly a initially. maybe push for a deal a little bit later. certainly, it might be on the all arming side. and when the japanese prime minister west they are, the two leaders played golf but this time we are not expecting that? certainly not but lots of talk. there has been talk of conflict of interest. china has been a guess working favourably to the trump organisation. if that likely to have any kind of impact? there has certainly been an effort by the chinese to position themselves into the vacuum but they believe mrjohn to live in, certainly in their asian region. —— mrtrump. that to live in, certainly in their asian region. —— mr trump. that is the risk he is running. it is a risk to his policy to give the ground to china. it is not our view. the chinese are probably going to be in a position to get in there. at a ——

mrtrump is counterpart president donald trump.inping at his mar—a—lago resort in florida. the meeting today is the very first time they are talking in person. there's lots to discuss. security, are both men in agreement on how to handle north korea? and on. can these dealmakers avert a potential trade war? joining us with some a nswe i’s we trade war? joining us with some answers we hope is our asia business correspondent. lots of big issues. north korea, the south china sea, but focusing on trade. despite all of the tough campaign talk that we heard from president trump, branding china a currency manipulator, slapping it with punitive tariffs, none of this has happened. they still have the rest of the net to get through, let's wait and see what happens. —— rest of the night. at the tone has changed a great deal before the meeting and now when they are meeting face—to—face. just look at the peak is of that historic handshake. everyone waiting to see offcou rse handshake. everyone waiting to see offcourse what kind of camaraderie t

mrtrump says, the german newspaper mr trump said... the german newspaper mr trump said... mrtrump says, it's not obsolete any more as my colleague noted... the general tone will have pleased all nato members, they talked about working together on the disaster in syria, also talked about how mrtrump said disaster in syria, also talked about how mr trump said that we should not be trapped by tired thinking and stoltenberg emphasised that the strong may do good europe he talked about a more dangerous and unpredictable world it is interesting that both men emphasised that. donald trump said, "the world isa that. donald trump said, "the world is a mess, right now it is musty and they can't do it right now" it is it —— the world is nasty. it is the view ofjens stoltenberg and an autumn that the world is west now. donald was asked about what has been happening in moscow, the meetings between the us secretary of state and his counterpart in moscow, he said it was a successful meeting which may have raised some eyebrows giving that nothing agre

if mrtrump is going just as much this redline issue.sand, or setting a red line that chemical weapons can't be used or he would respond, and then he didn't respond, now president trump can say

here's a reminder of what mrtrump was changed.sterday had a big impact on me, a big impact. it was a horrible, horrible thing, andi impact. it was a horrible, horrible thing, and i will tell you, it's already happened that my attitude towards syria and bashar al—assad has changed very much. they will have a message, you will see what the message will be. tonight i ordered a targeted militarily strike on the airfield in syria from where the chemical attack was launched. florida senator marco rubio, who ran against donald trump for the republican presidential nomination, has given his response to the strikes. my first reaction is too obviously acknowledge and appreciate the skill and bravery of our men and women in uniform. the president took an appropriate step tonight, it is not just symbolic. he an appropriate step tonight, it is notjust symbolic. he took an appropriate step tonight, it is not just symbolic. he took an an appropriate step tonight, it is notjust symbolic. he took an attack againstan notjust symbolic. he took an at

the change would also affect small businesses, part of a campaign pledge mrtrump affect small businessesned an executive order directing the government to review decisions by previous presidents to designate large areas of land as national monuments. the move could open up more federal lands to drilling, mining and other development. mr trump said the people's ability to access and utilise land had to be protected. mexico won't pay for it, and at least for now, neither will congress, but donald trump insists his border wall with mexico will get built. and there are signs the project itself is moving forward. landowners in texas have received letters ordering them to sell to the government to make way for the wall, while more than 200 building firms have submitted bids to construct the barrier. and as james cook reports from el paso, in texas, at least one of the bidders has been receiving death threats. on the us—mexico border, a bizarre beauty contest is about to begin. some 200 companies have submitted bids to build donald trump's wall. soon, a handful will be invited to make prototype

how is mrtrump planning that has to be the last option.lanning to solve this question of the north koreans having nuclear weapons. that is what they wa nt nuclear weapons. that is what they want ask senior officials about in this briefing at the white house. it is something that the majority leader in the senate asbo, an update. mr trump said why do we not come to the white house and we do it here. political theatre, yes but they have serious question to ask. if the political theatre connected that the fact that trump struggled the consensus in previous issues and he needs on this issue.|j the consensus in previous issues and he needs on this issue. i think it is his style, that may be the case it is the lead up to the first hundred days in office at the weekend, as you know that deadline, there is pressure to say he has achieved this, this, and this and he has not cheesed anything legislatively. if he wanders into the briefing, if he brings a camera along that will be a him to look like he is standing tough on a national security issue, b

nicholas kristof calls it "an irresponsible, shameless, budget—busting gift to zillionaires like mrtrumps for cancer treatment for elderly patients. the study says that for people over 75 years of age, drugs don't lead to significant improvement compared to similarly aged patients who weren't on medication. you either love them or hate them. getting a tattoo is still controversial in some societies. injapan, a young tattoo artist in tokyo is fighting a court case that's seen as a litmus test for the country's cultural openness. police say taiki masuda broke a law that only allows licensed health—care providers to do such work and has to pay a $3000 fine. while other tattoo artists who were raided paid up, taiki—san refused and now a campaign calling itself "savetattooing" has grown around the case and its getting a lot of attention. in a moment i'll be talking hyoe yamamoto who is making a film about the case but first let's have a look at a clip from the film. unfortunately we do not have that. hyoe yamamoto is making a film about taiki masuda and earlier i asked him why he thought the

so we do not know what mr trumbull do but player as basically more of the same —— what mrtrump will basicallyof the same —— what mr trump will do. life to turkey now wet holes have opened. not much action but the polls have indeed opened and as you can see local time is just after 7am where the first voters, some 55 million people, are eligible to vote in the referendum on whether to grant turkey's president over one more sweeping powers. —— over one in s double, the polls will open in about an hour we re polls will open in about an hour were from now. you polls will open in about an hour were from now. you can see polls will open in about an hour were from now. you can see the vast scale of this vote has just begun. we will see much more people coming out onto the streets to vote as they progress. a bitter campaign has been fought in the country so far, is a correspond reports. a divisive campaign has ended, and turkey now faces the biggest political choice in its modern history. both sides made a frantic push to the end. voter turnout will be decisive in the outcome. the yes side believes a

at the time mrtrump was and they did not respond.r trump was very much in support of that. he didn't want mr obama to intervene. now as president he has a different approach to that. also, not only responding to the syrian chemical weapons attack, but very much rush hour. mr rex tillerson also said the russians we re tillerson also said the russians were either incompetent or a complicit with the syrians‘ use of chemical weapons because they guaranteed that if syria didn‘t give up guaranteed that if syria didn‘t give up the chemical weapons, they would ensure they did. so the administration has been making some very clear criticisms of russia in its role in backing bashar al—assad. president obama offcourse back in 2013 decided not to respond militarily because of that decision to re m ove militarily because of that decision to remove chemical weapons. clearly haven‘t removed the weapons. is there any advice that could be made to make that happen?” there any advice that could be made to make that happen? i can't really say at the mom

mrtrump was mr trump was referring to another election, that is tomorrow.lace of tom pryce. the seat republicans have held since the 1970s when jimmy carter the seat republicans have held since the 1970s whenjimmy carter was president. it's a seat republicans have held sincejimmy carter was president — but the democrats think they can turn this into a referendum on trump's first 100 days. rajini vaidya nathan reports from georgia's sixth district in the state capitol. we need is democrats in washington donald trump is a disaster. who do you think should win this seat? a republican candidate. for the very first time i'm voting democrat. the sixth congressional district in georgia has been in republican hands for decades. but democrats think this man can win it back. jon 0ssoff is a political adviser turned documentary maker, who's raised more than $8 million in a race which has been dubbed the "make trump furious" campaign. more than anything i think it would be a win for the thousands of grassroots volunteers who are getting involved in this community — man

i don't think it's just that the trump supporters that will take this as a victory but mrtrump will as trump will as well, seeing that this investment in a factory in kentucky really shows manufacturers like toyota that the economic climate in the united states is good for this kind of investment, especially under his administration. but really is this a victory for the trump administration? this is part of something that was already announced, $10 billion over the next five years to invest in plants. when you look at toyota and this particular plant, it is the largest of their plans anywhere in the world. there, they manufacture cars, the most made in america car. the reason toyota was going to mexico presumably was to save money. will it have to make more expensive cars in these factories in the us? what they are suggesting is that by investing into better technologies in these plans in the united states, they can make these cars more efficiently and they can also keep more up—to—date with some of the automation we are seeing in terms of trends with regards to car—makers in the us an

they give very much indeed for that forced a earlier we were saying that mrtrump said it forced a earlierp said it was in america's vital national interest to stop the spread and use of chemical weapons. some blowback on that from his own party. 0ne senator saying, some blowback on that from his own party. 0ne senatorsaying, our some blowback on that from his own party. 0ne senator saying, our prior interventions on this have done nothing to make it safer and syria will be no different. aga rubio, a rival for the republican nomination and presidency, has also responded to the strikes. —— marco rubio. and presidency, has also responded to the strikes. -- marco rubio. my first reaction is to acknowledge and appreciate the skill of men and women in uniform. the president took an appropriate step tonight and this is not a symbolic. he took an attack againstan is not a symbolic. he took an attack against an airfield from which the chemical attacks were conducted against innocent civilians. i think the president made the right moves and so obviously now it is an attack, that has a strategic obj

mrtrump said he counterpart, abdel fattah el—sisi.e will work with cairo to fight islamist militants. he says that to abdel fattah el—sisi has done a fantasticjob in a difficult situation. south korea follows to an election. the man tipped to be the next president has formally been nominated. moonjae—in has been seen to take a softer line on north korea. china has announced it wants 80% of its citizens to speak its dominant dialect of mandarin within the next year. 0nly us percentage of people speak mandarin. spectacular pictures to show you now. this is south korea with this tallest building officially opened in seoul. to add company it, an enormous fireworks display from the skyscraper if self, also alongside music. also there was a simultaneous laser show. we were told that around 30 rounds of fireworks lit up sol‘s night sky. quite a sight. —— seoul. 0n on thursday, a high—stakes meeting is taking place between president trump and president xi. just days before the meeting, president trump has insisted the us will deal with north

there simply isn't agreement yet in congress to fund that wall, although mrtrump congress to fund thatsist it will be built. reaction here? many people are split. even those that support tougher border security are not convinced that the wall itself is the best way to spend what would be a huge amount of money. others think that border security does need to be tightened and it is a measure that would help. i have been speaking to esther valdes, a human rights lawyer, and i've been asking her if she thought the donald trump approach in his first hundred days, particularly on immigrants and the wall, is the right way forward. particularly on immigrants and the wall, is the right way forwardlj wa nt wall, is the right way forward.” want the law in force, not just for the people who live here, but for the people who live here, but for the people that three other countries that are very violent. we live with the long—standing border between a third world country and the first world country, so a lot of people are naturally economic refugees. we need to know who they are. america has enemies

speaking of mrtrump, we'll be taking a look back at the last seven days of his presidency.s met the president of china, as well as the general secretary of nato. he's also launched an airstrike against the syrian government. but what does this tell us about how his policies have changed since his inauguration? and more violence has broken out between european football fans — tonight, the start of the match between besiktas and lyon had to be delayed. we'll have the latest in os sport. we can speak withjeremy bowen, the bbc‘s bbc middle east editor now. i'm soyuz all the interview with president assad, what did you make of it? i watched the whole interview andi of it? i watched the whole interview and i read the transcript as well. ina way, and i read the transcript as well. in a way, he is very consistent in the line he has always taken, which is that he is fighting a conspiracy, directed from abroad, that has sent terrorists, and he never makes a distinction between different groups, hejust distinction between different groups, he just calls them terrorists, who are out to

well, i don't think this is about people, whether it is about mrtrump and this is about people, whether putin or tillotson, it is about national interests. —— rex tillerson. the russians have a lot to achieve. united states wants to see the fighting rundown but we have, as a nation, under the last two administrations, i think they got it fundamentally wrong by supporting the ambitions of the sunni arab states and israel who would like to see assad removed without any plan for how to protect who would be left there without any plan on how to bring this to an end so in fact, i'm not even sure why rex tillerson is going to moscow. in other news: a teacher and a child have been killed in a shooting inside a primary school classroom in california. the gunman — believed to be the teacher's husband — is also dead. another child was wounded. local police are treating the shooting, in san bernardino, as a murder—suicide. the hungarian president has ratified a new law on foreign institutions in higher education, despite days of protests. opponents say the law is designed to destroy the central eu

act back in 2013/11; when the syrians crossed that line, the syrians crossed that line again, and mrtrumping advice from some of the key figures in his administration, a number of whom are very experienced military officer, and military officers to boot who are ofa and military officers to boot who are of a very particular kind, they are of a very particular kind, they are officers who have no, you know, extraordinary ideas about the validity and use of military force, they think north east is important but they think there has to be a political dimension as well. i think that in way is the most important thing out of this. how far does this new approach by donald trump signal a new american policy towards syria, he hasn‘t reelaborated that policy yet. he said the chemical attack changed his mind but we don‘t pose what that means and how far when the dust settles is he going to be able to pursue some policy perhaps in concert with the russians? thank you jonathan. now it is time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. england‘s lee westwood is one of those enjoying a more temperate

mrtrump it deals with these sorts of crises. the pictures helped him change his mind, but quite frankly, the situation on the ground offers him no better options thanit ground offers him no better options than it did to his predecessor, barack obama. we also have criticism within his own party from senator marco rubio, who was himself a white house contender, saying that there is no coincidence here in the timing of this gas attack, but the trump administration had pretty much indicated to president assad that the fight wasn't about him. so, we know that words matter. but we have to know what they mean before they matter and at this stage we just don't know what donald trump plans to do. thank you. two former barclays bankers have been found not guilty of conspiring to rig the libor inter—bank interest rate. stelios contogoulas and ryan reich were cleared in this second trial, after a jury failed to reach a verdict last year. our business correspondent andy verity is at southwark crown court. explained what's happened in court.

if mrtrump is going just as much this redline issue.mr trump is going to criticise president obama for setting alone in the sand, or setting a red line that chemical weapons can't be used or he would respond, and then he didn't respond, now president trump can say chemical weapons have been used in that line was crossed, and i responded. that seems to me just as likely an explanation as to why he this attack, and that he was willing to co nfro nt this attack, and that he was willing to confront the russians. point taken, barbara. thank you very much indeed. you were an intelligence operative for many years. you know the region well. what do you make of this news? i think it is good for the middle east and good for syrians and bad for iran and bad for bashar al—assad. it gives people hope. what imean by al—assad. it gives people hope. what i mean by that is that these are precision strikes on bashar al—assad was matt air force, chemical munitions, and other places. it did not put american pilots into danger and did not hit civilians. it

mrtrump will, that's what i'm telling you. mr trump told that the ft.ould succeed alone he replied, totally. it's not the first time since his election that mr trump has pushed the issue of north korea towards the top of his foreign policy to—do list, without being specific. obviously north korea is a big, big problem. and we will deal with that very strongly. one of those who interviewed the president said the reason for his concern is clear, ahead of his much as dissipated meeting this week with the chinese premier. at the moment, and president 0bama said this to president trump just after the election, this, the north koreans, will have the capacity to hit san francisco and the californian coast by the end of his first term. with repeated warnings about the missile capabilities of north korea, officials of the trump administration are talking tough. during a recent trip to south korea, secretary of state —— the secretary of state said preliminary military action is an option. but it is widely believed that military action against the north korea woul

post, the newest silicon valley perk, paid time off to get out on the streets and protest against mrtrumpprotest against the leader of the free world is an interesting variants but it is very much the case that silicon valley, which is an international community, as huge numbers of migrant workers and is clearly a sector which is very much opposed to a lot of the policies being pursued by mr trump and now the perks are being included in the workplace. it is a sector that relies heavily on the specific reason that trump has just recently honedin reason that trump has just recently honed in on in the last 24 hours in terms of how it is used and how much it is used. absolutely, clearly the industry feels under threat and while the industry has been very much known for providing unusual perks to provide and facilitate the workforce on a daily basis, this is 110w workforce on a daily basis, this is now a real and present danger for the industry and clearly they are responding to that by allowing them time off to protest. quick story from which many cinemagoers may have noticed, you can't make

mrtrump is out, not so much. trade will be raised. mr trump is talked about it.hat in this visit, but perhaps the chinese president will offer sweeteners to try to ease the tension is a little bit, like investing injobs and infrastructure in the united states. north korea is a big issue for the americans. they feel that north koreans are poised to get a mess strong enough to buy it nuclear warheads in the next couple of years so warheads in the next couple of years so it is not business as usual there. they want china to put more pressure on north korea, which china is open to but not completely because it does not want the regime to collapse. these are very big economic and security issues but the key thing they are hoping for is that the two men develop a working relationship and this informal setting is supposed to help them do that. we have had president trump rolling back a bit lately, so the environment may be better, the chinese know he is unpredictable, they arbitrary there may still be some corruption, but president trump by no means has all the cards in

there was an element of mrtrump weapons attack.resident 0bama. because when he said he would respond when the syrians crossed the red line of chemical attacks he did not respond with military force and mr trump had a chance to do that and show he would respond differently than his predecessor. of course there are risks it will create situations that could escalate and then the administration will have to respond but i sense they wanted to see this asa but i sense they wanted to see this as a one—off. but i sense they wanted to see this as a one-off. how worried will they be, how closely will they watch how moscow responds? that is a casualty of this strike. in terms of military confrontation in the initial response from russia seems to be thatis response from russia seems to be that is not going to happen. there have been strong criticism is. no sign that they are planning to confront the americans militarily in syria and will report said they did not use their anti—missiles defence system when the missiles came through. the big fa

remember when president obama established a red line and was threatening action and mrtrump line anderms, there is a shift on the american side. the question is, what can he actually do? america's policy increasingly has been to focus on the so—called islamic state and defeating them, and then the syrian regime has been pushed very much to the sidelines by this administration. it will be interesting to see whether he begins now to try and develop some sort of broader strategy for syria and the wider region rather than this militarisation of policy, a stepping up militarisation of policy, a stepping up of attacks, notjust in syria, but in yemen and other places, which is all very well, but it doesn't fit into a wider strategic framework. what are his options? in some ways they are very limited. if you think back to 2013 and president obama, one obvious thing was cruise missile strikes against syrian installations, perhaps drawing parts of the airforce installations, perhaps drawing parts of the air force or something. today they have to contend with the fact that there are russian air

mrtrump fundamental lack of clarity about the us position.assador, rex tillerson, the secretary of state, general macmaster, the national security adviser, what all saying slightly different things. he said, they are all doing a greatjob, but let's clarify things, we are not going into syria. fine, that is a statement, but what does it actually mean in terms of the existing us policy? are they going to keep things as they are, step up assistance to the groups on the ground that they support? what about this whole problematic area of backing kurdish groups and the difficulties with the turks? we are still waiting to see some clarity in all of the key foreign policy areas, notjust all of the key foreign policy areas, not just syria and the middle all of the key foreign policy areas, notjust syria and the middle east but also north korea, which is the next crisis looming on the horizon. given the lack of clarity on syria, rosemary, do you say as secretary of state rex tillerson did that the assad family's days are numbers, with some people sayin
