Theresa may drops in on Nicola Sturgeon to discuss how scotland and brexit might work together, but did their face to face leave them futher apart . And, Off The Books democrats demand to know who President Trump has been meeting during his frequent golf club trips. Hello and welcome to 100 days, with Mejon Sopel In Washington and Christian Fraser in london. It was on the Campaign Trail that donald trump said were going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning. Well, fatigue is definitely settling in and for the us president , its not because hes winning. No, quite the opposite the question were all asking is what next for mr trump . The Health Care Bill is in tatters, tax reform is up in the air, his son in law, and senior white house advisor, we find out today is to be questioned by the senate, in relation to those alleged links between russia the Trump Campaign team. Much of the talk today here in Washington Christian is about mr trump resetting his agenda and just 67 days in. It has been a wild few days for the presidency lets take a look. Monday morning at the white house and the president , believed was the last week behind him as he meets female entrepreneurs. And this message. Female entrepreneurs. And this message. You are really and inspiration to everybody, men and women. A lot of men out there are not doing what you are able to do. Because last week he was meeting this lost, the right wing house leading culprits, or white, all middle age and all causing him to lose his Health Care Bill. A former member of that group and now part of president. s team attended to explain the defeat. I think there was plenty of blame to go around, as we sat over the last few days to try and figure out what happened, what happened is washington one. The one thing we learned this week is that washington was a lot more broken than president thom thought it was. Pot of those was the thom highlighted, immediately after the vote was told. Part of those was what president tom highlighted. We had no democrat support. They were not going to give was a single vote. Now, rallying support from across the aisle might be crucial. Now, rallying support from across the aisle might be crucialli now, rallying support from across the aisle might be crucial. I think it is time for our folks to come together, and i also think it is time to potentially get a few moderate democrats on board. Howd you win over the democrats without further alienating the right of the Republican Party . To that, there was no easy answer. With me now is the former adviser to president george deby bush terry with me now is the former advisor to president george w. Bush, and republican political strategist, ron christie. Donald strategist, ron christie. Trump said he would chan the donald trump said he would change the way people do business, but republicans have been fighting with each other. It is a very important reset, that donald trump is now going to have to recognise that hes going to have to recognise that hes going to have to recognise that hes going to have to get some democrats to come with him is hes going to have some legislative victories. Isnt the implications of that is that he will lose the Freedom Caucus . I think those 42 members are essential for getting a lot of things through what nancy pelosi can deliver a lot of head democrats, i would look for a pair, something that could have bipartisan report and allow the president to get the victory. He needs a victory and needs to be up to say to the American People that this is why they elected him and this is what hes doing. Ijust they elected him and this is what hes doing. I just wondered where this leaves the key relationship between the president and the house speaker, paul ryan, who he needs to get these things through. The relationship is very good, you had a lock on the president this weekend about how hard he said paul ryan was working, how much he thought he was his partner in these endeavours and so, when they look at the wreckage from what happened with the health had a buckle, i think the two of them will have a closer relationship in the days ahead for the more distant one. We have had with the tensions are within the Republican Party, if the president were to cut loose this Freedom Caucus, the right wing of the park bury party, and join hands with some of the democrats towards the centre, how likely is it that they would want to play ball with him . Likely is it that they would want to play ball with him . The right wing of the party. A fairly decent chance, and the other group is called the tuesday group you are a group of moderate members of the house of representatives, with a lot of the attention focused on the Freedom Caucus, i think the president has a lot of chance to pick out these moderates. president has a lot of chance to pick out these moderates. I want to ask you one quick final question, steve bannon was reported to have said to the Freedom Caucus, those elected on the right of the party that this is not a negotiation you have to do is you are told. Im going to guess that probably did not going to guess that probably did not go down too well from people who are elected hearing it from someone who wasnt. It is funny, some of the Staff Members i think they think they are more powerful than what they are more powerful than what they are more powerful than what they are and i do not imagine an elected representative will take too kindly to an unelected bureaucrat telling him what to do. Great to have you with us. I am wondering if pa rt have you with us. I am wondering if part of the problem here with the timescale, looking at some of the figures. The length of time it took Previous Administration is to thought through complex bills like this one. They have 0bamacare it took 187 days. It took reagan Something Like 323 day to get tax reform through which they will take on next, is better deal on earth that could have put the Freedom Caucus and the moderates together in just 17 days . The benign interpretation of that is that no nobody could do that. It was far too quick, they were setting themselves on offer to timetable, they wanted to show massive momentum, i hate to talk as out of the reason why you are sitting in that studio in london and im sitting in the studio washington, but who cares whether things get done in a hundred days, it is what you do that leaves a lasting legacy. 0n the other hand, they have had seven years to think about what they want to do to replace 0bamacare, about what they want to do to replace 0bamaca re, the about what they want to do to replace 0bamacare, the Publican Party has committed itself to its appeal and replacement ever since. The Republican Party. You would think they could have worked some of these things out. And does it take these things out. And does it take the shine of the president because he was supposed to be and sold himself as the negotiator in chief has that showing gone . |j himself as the negotiator in chief has that showing gone . I tell you what, often journalists set the bar, set the height at which a politician has to get over, we did not set it donald trump set it, he said it will be easy to fix, im going to make it much cheaper, poor people will have insurance, it is going to be fantastic and we will do it quickly. So, you set the bar for himself. What has happened is that he has set the bar and gone stumbling over it and all impact on his face. Have the shine, . Yes. It will take awhile to show they have learned the lessons from this and will be out get their legislation passed. 0k, he needs a win. In the middle east, iraqi forces are pounding Western Mosul trying to disloge so called Islamic State. It is not going to wealth. It is not going very well. Theyre deploying Helicopter Gun Ships and crude Rocket Launchers to target is militants and the civilians are stuck in the middle. Islamic state may be in retreat but they are putting up stiff resistance. 0ur middle east Editorjeremy Bowen has sent this report. This is the iraqi solution to an offensive that has stalled over the last week or so, attack again. It feels as if the Air War Over Mosul is intensifying. The Gunship Pilots fly low, they seem confident they will not get shot down. Every day a few thousand more people come walking out of the areas of mosul still held by thejihadists who call themselves Islamic State. Many said they have been used as human shields, but the response more air strikes, horrified them. Translation they destroyed our homes, ourcars, everything, they destroyed us. Entire families are gone, they are under the rubble. Translation a lot of people died, children, women and men. Houses collapsed on them, i lost both my sons. Some very sophisticated modern weapons in this fight and these locally made rockets are used over short range. A blunt instrument. That is an inaccurate weapon, it might be good for the tempo of the military operation, but it is not necessarily good for preserving civilian lives. But, they want to win this battle and they are using everything they have got. Most of the people arriving in government held territory are bussed out to camps, many said is forced themselves into their homes. This woman said she was not escaping the jihadists but air strikes that used tonnes of bombs on a single sniper will. Translation they destroy the houses where one or two or three so called Islamic State. They can houses into cemeteries. They can houses into cemeteries. They bring the dead alp burnt. Alp burnt. My children, nine of my family killed. They call them smart bombs, but this is stupid. My grandchildren, two have gone. The people of mosul have been left with impossible choices, risk death in their own homes or risk death crossing a front line. Iraq has been shattered by the years of wars and sectarian conflict that followed the us and british invasion, it might be too late to put this country back together. Were joined now by chris woods who runs Airwars An Organisation that tracks the air strikes against the so called Islamic State and other groups in iraq, syria and libya. Good to see you. We have had a good illustration from germany there as to why it is so difficult to keep track of hazzard is underground. Frontjeremy corbyn. How do you monitor our a good illustration from jeremy corbyn. How do you measure who is killed . We look at mostly iraqi social media, the information is disbursed but a lot of information does come out from the perspective of the civilians, it can be videos, testimonies, obituaries or so on. We pulled the material together and make a provisional assessment about the quality of those claims and then we try and work with the Military S Two Festival Drawback attention to these allegations and see whether they are valid or not. To first of all. We are talking in the context of some fairly murky reports from the west of mosul, where scores of people were killed reportedly by a Coalition Air strike. From your monitoring, what you think this change in the last few weeks . We have seen with the west Mosul Campaigna huge have seen with the west Mosul Campaign a huge increase in alleged civilian casualties from Coalition Actions. Notjust the blood across the border in syria as well. Nat derry not just the border in syria as well. Nat derry notjust bought mosul. We are seeing the highest number of them have ever been recorded. The mosul around 70 of the allegations are what we grade as contested, they may have been claimed to be Coalition Actions but they may be by artillery, or by so called Islamic State themselves using took bombs or mortars or other means. So, we know a large number of civilians are dying in mosul as the report made clear, what we do not necessarily know is what is killing them. Generally speaking, most of the fire going in the mosul right now is incoming fire from the coalition, from iraqi forces and unfortunately thatis from iraqi forces and unfortunately that is what is killing most of the civilians right now, we think. We have heard donald trump say that we have heard donald trump say that we have got to be less politically correct in the way we fight these battles, do you think there has been any change in the Rules Of Engagement for us forces when they oppose keeping these aspects . difficult question, the word we keep on getting from the pentagon is, no, the rules of think agent has not changed, but iraqi official keep on saying that they have. It is easier to getan saying that they have. It is easier to get an american air strike now thanit to get an american air strike now than it was a few months ago. That gets more complicated as we do not know if it is related to kurt cochran coming in all the response to the very fierce recent Battle In East Mosul to trump coming in. 0ne East Mosul to trump coming in. One of the criticisms at the time was that they weigh not getting the table as support that they needed, so we may be seeing an increase that is to do with trump will changes or it could be a response to that early battle that came just as donald trump came in. There is a clear picture in syria, that we are seeing an enormous increase in reported civilians deaths and were looking at bombings of towns and villages that are lightly populated compared to mosul, that indicates that the strikes are more frequent and that they are taking more risk with civilians. I think what were seeing in syria is more of an indication of the rule change under donald trump, but if there is a change, the pentagon and the white house being very tight lipped about it. Yes, it is subtle. Thank you very much the moment. Returning now to the trump administrations to do list. Weve already heard what happened to health care but what does that mean for the rest of his agenda . Among the big ticket items he promised during the campaign was fixing the countrys crumbling infrastructure. It could even be an issue that wins Bipartisanship Support but as james cook reports from americas tallest dam, at 0roville in northern california, it will be no easy task. The tallest dam in the richest nation on earth is no longer a source of pride. Last month after Heavy Rain It overflow channels began to crumble. Nearly 200,000 californians had to flee. Now the water level has fallen, the damage is laid bare. What happened here at the 0roville dam is a wake up call in a country where Infrastructure Spending has been out of fashion the decades. The lesson is simple the longer you put off repairs or upgrades, the greater the risk and the higher the cost in the end. But, that is exactly what the us has been doing, more than 2000 American Dams Are Rated as both deficient and high hazard, which means failure would lead to loss of life. I think we have been doing what we thought was enough, but clearly we have missed a few things. When i say we, it is a global it is the regulators, it is our Third Party Independent consultants, and that is, a catastrophic event but we are all learning from this. New york venue jersey dedicate the huge Lincoln Tunnel under the hudson river. In the past century the us saw two big building booms. The first came in the 1930s when roosevelts new deal put millions of americans to work on projects like this one. The second was in The 50s And 60s with the construction of the Interstate Highway System and minutes after he was elected president , donald trump promised further. Were going to rebuild our infrastructure. Which will become, by the way, second to none. Mr trump is particularly scathing about americas airports. 0nce icons of progress, he now calls the third world. But Los Angeles International is already spending billions on more gates,new rail links and smarter terminals, funded not by the government but by Passengers Views and private capital. Are we where we want to be . No. But, it is todays experience third world . No, it is absolutely not. We are an incredible and robust airport, we have fantastic facilities here already, but we are taking them to that next level which will be the Gold Standard airport. Showcase projects are one thing but when it comes to more mundane the pair, roads and bridges, pipes and dams, is two trillion dollars short. Life as we knew it in the 21st century of the United States is going to increasingly look like what is normal in the part of the world, especially latin america, asia and africa. It is just not going to be a 21st century western country. The challenge, it seems, is not to make America Great again, but to stop it falling apart. The family of kurt cochran, the american tourist
