Scientists now say two thirds of australias Great Barrier reef has been destroyed by rising sea temperatures. This is 100 days, with me, katty kay, In Washington and Christian Fraser in london. Four days after donald trump launched Cruise Missiles against syria, its not clear what else he wants to do in that war, if anything. America today certainly doesnt feel as if its on war footing. And different members of the trump team are saying Different Things about americas syria policy and the future of President Assad. Here is the Us Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley on sunday. There is not any sort of option where a political solution will happen with assad at the head of the regime. If you look at his actions, at the situation, it will be hard to see a government that is peaceful and stable with assad. But not everyone in the administration seems to advocate Regime Change. Heres us Secretary Of StateRex Tillerson with another. What we are hopeful is through this syrian process, working with coalition members, un and through the geneva process, we can navigate a political outcome, and we wish the Syrian People will determine Bashar Al Assads fate and his legitimacy. It is also not clear how this leaves relations between the white house and russia. Mr trump himself hasnt mentioned russia once since the Chemical Attacks last week. The us bombing of an airfield near homs does demonstrate that this new american president is prepared to draw a line and abide by it, at least on chemical weapons attacks. For the past six years, Western Powers have achieved almost nothing in syria. Today, theirForeign Ministers meet in italy. Americas Secretary Of State is in italy to turn up the International Heat on syrias President Assad and his russian backers. Rex tillerson very deliberately joined an international Wreath Laying at the memorial to a nazi atrocity here in 1944, the massacre of local villagers. We remember the events of august 12th 19114, that occurred. Then he drew a direct parallel to last weeks gas attack in syrias idlib province. We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents, anywhere in the world. Then, President Trumps foreign minister, the man who will go to moscow later this week, met borisjohnson, the Foreign Secretary who cancelled his visit to be here instead. They are working together to get the widest possible internationally agreed challenge to the russians. Immediately afterwards, borisjohnson told me he is pressing for new sanctions against russia as well as syria. And we will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions, certainly on some of the Syrian Military figures and, indeed, on some of the Russian Military figures who have been involved in coordinating the Syrian Military efforts, and who of course are thereby contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the assad regime. What were trying to do is to give tillerson the clearest possible mandate from us as the west, the uk, and all of our allies here to say to the russians, this is your choice. Stick with that guy, stick with that tyrant, or work with us to find a better solution. President assads major backers, iran and russia, have now warned of Military Retaliation if President Trump repeats last fridays Cruise Missile strikes, although irans president rouhani, seen as a moderate, seemed to contradict his own hardliners today, saying change within the assad regime should go hand in hand with fighting his opponents. Translation Terrorism In Syria should be eradicated and, of course, some reform should be permitted in syria within the Syrian Regime. This evening, g7 ministers, all but one of them nato members too, are starting to explore new pressures they could apply, knowing full well that russia has so far stuck firmly with President Assad and his regime. For more from the g7 summit, we spoke with james a brief time ago. There has been a lot of sound and fury. Very powerfully, Rex Tillerson has drawn a comparison between nazi atrocities in italy at the end of the Second World War and what has been happening inside syria. Will that make any difference . Who knows. Vladimir putin has resisted all pressure. There is at least a discussion of additional sanctions being applied to russia if it does not moderate its support for assad, but that may have been undermined by something that Rex Tillerson repeated over the weekend in a series of interviews on American Network tv. He made clear that it is not the number one United States priority, to remove him from power. That remains the elimination of so called ices within syria. So you can see that Flood Amir Putin may feel he can go on resisting whatever pressure may be agreed in italy, in talks which will go on deep into the evening and resume again in the morning. The view In Washington after the strikes what that there was Broad International support for this, and that american credibility and military credibility had been restored around the world. Is that your takeaway from the g 7 meeting . To some extent it is. This is a reversal of ba rack 0bamas to some extent it is. This is a reversal of barack 0bamas policy of Non Aggression in syria. It is clearly sending a strong signal that the new administration is conducting things ina the new administration is conducting things in a different way. But that is tempered by the clear statements from the administration that this was a limited, targeted strike, which was only a response to the use of banned chemical weapons. And that no such strike would be repeated, u nless no such strike would be repeated, unless there is another use of chemical weapons within syria. There is no question of a general american engagement in syria, with significant military might, nothing much in what the russians are using to bolster resident assad. Americas allies are grateful for what the United States has done, particularly to enforce the Global Century old ban on chemical weapons, but whether it isa ban on chemical weapons, but whether it is a game changer in syria remains to be seen. The White House Press secretary has been speaking about the American Military action in syria last week and about trying to create the conditions to bring about new leadership. The action that we took last week has been widely praised, domestically and internationally, is a great step to ensure the deterrence and preparation of chemical weapons and action against innocent people. When you watch babies and children being gassed and suffering under barrel bombs, you are instantaneously moved to action. The president has made it clear that if those actions were to continue, further action will be considered by the United States. We continue to urge the World Community to join us in this, in both stopping the deterrence and preparation of the use of those weapons, but in further trying to create the political environment that will result in new leadership. Those are very important, they go hand in hand. So what are the Military Options now . Im joined by andrew exum, who was president 0bamas Deputy Assistant secretary of defence for middle east policy. The white house seems to be making the argument that defeating Islamic State can lead to the conditions for the removal of President Assad. Has this action that the us has taken in syria complicated the fight against Islamic State . Yes. That was what the risks, it is worth keeping in mind that the Us Led Coalition over syria has been flying in and around ina syria has been flying in and around in a syrian air defences over the past two years, and so syria and russia can come to get the fight against Islamic State. What you are seeing, and sean spicer was all over the map. I did not come out of that any clearer. That is not the first time that has been the case. What Rex Tillerson and the ambassador said yesterday was signalling that political transition remains a priority, the fight against the Islamic State has to come first, because they are in a bit of tension. You will see the white house tried to prioritise the fight against the Islamic State while seeing whether or not this strike against syria gives Rex Tillerson anymore leveraged in the geneva process. In terms of the options america could have, they we re options america could have, they were options that were on the table when you were in the Administration Tom what are they and which do you think are the likely once america might take next . Friendly, they not going to want to telegraph their options might be, ourfocus remains on the Islamic State, they will go to rack and the Euphrates River valley. There will not want to telegraph any intent with respect to the Syrian Regime. That is that ambiguity makes sense, because when you have assad going to geneva, he will want to do that with the sense that maybe the president would do something, without getting into the specific details. I want to see if i can use some of specific details. I want to see if i can use some of your specific details. I want to see if i can use some of your expertise, because you were a former ranger and captain in the army, and Rex Tillerson has been confident in the american intelligence, they said the russians must have known, because there were people at these bases. When you put conventional weapons on an aircraft, is it very different from putting chemical weapons on an aircraft . Would you be that spot it easily . I had a bit of difficulty with the earpiece. 0verall,. Could they have moved chemical weapons without the russians at the airbase knowings that was what they were getting out yesterday when they made the statement. This serves the administration politically, to be able to call the russians out to say, look, you were the International Guarantors for this deal in 2013, you were present at the airbase, we are not buying the idea that you were not at least witting of some of the movements that the Syrian Regime were doing. It is canny and wise to put that pressure on the russians. In all likelihood, it is possible that there may be a disconnect between there may be a disconnect between the russians on the ground in syria and the russians in moscow. Polls have been done here over the weekend, donald trump has seen a bit ofa bump weekend, donald trump has seen a bit of a bump in weekend, donald trump has seen a bit ofa bump in his weekend, donald trump has seen a bit of a bump in his approval ratings, but the things that came out most clearly, there is not Political Support via for taking this action further. They will live with this attack, they do not want further attacks. You said you do not know if there is a strategy. They said last week that there was a suite of options that was put to be president , so if there isa was put to be president , so if there is a suite of options, there must be some sort of strategy, you would think . But maybe it is not palatable. They were drawing up the options, but the administration has to decide, does it want Regime Change or not, is it a priority . Day 81 for the Trump Administration. And today, President Trump fulfilled one of his key election pledges. The swearing in of a new conservative, Supreme Court justice neil gorsuch. This was the smaller, private ceremony earlier on monday. And then, there was this, the more public swearing in within the white house rose garden. 49 year old Justice Gorsuch was finally confirmed on friday after a bitter struggle between republicans and democrats in the senate. And whatever this president does over his first 100 days, this will be seen as his most significant achievement. The past two months, the American People have gotten to know and respect and truly admire our newest member of the United StatesSupreme Court. InJustice Gorsuch, they see a man of great and unquestioned integrity. They see a man of unmatched qualifications and, most of all, and most importantly, they see a man who is deeply faithful to the constitution of the United States. He will decide cases based not on his personal preferences, but based on a fair and objective reading of law. We have talked a lot about the problems the administration has had, this is a huge successful donald trump, this man will shape american legal opinion and American Life for decades to come. He is young, by the standards of the Supreme Court. Many of them are elderly. Donald trump could easily get one more pic. The Justice Donald trump could easily get one more pic. Thejustice at the end, only a9, he has a long time left on that bench. Two of the three oldest art Liberal Democrat justices. Two of the three oldest art Liberal Democratjustices. Appointed by bill clinton. So it shows how long they can stay on the bench. And the kind of impact, if some of the liberals, if either of the old ones were to be replaced during trumps term, that could change the outcome. A piece i read today, from one of the justices, the last youngest, she spoke to the Washington Post about this ina spoke to the Washington Post about this in a sanctum, the Conference Room where they meet to discuss theirjudgments, room where they meet to discuss their judgments, and there room where they meet to discuss theirjudgments, and there is a defined pecking order. If you go in asa defined pecking order. If you go in as a junior, you are in charge of cafeteria duties, you are in charge of answering the door, you have to ta ke of answering the door, you have to take notes at the meetings. You think you are hot stuff when you go m, think you are hot stuff when you go in, but they pull you Down To Earth as soon as you walk through the door. Just like on this programme i was just just like on this programme i wasjust going just like on this programme i was just going to say the funeral of the British Police officer keith palmer, killed in last months westminster attack, has been held in london at southwark cathedral. Thousands of Police Officers from all over the country lined the route of the funeral cortege, which set off from the palace of westminster, where his coffin had laid in rest overnight. Pc palmer, who was married with a five year old daughter, was guarding the houses of parliament when he was stabbed by khalid masood. A floral tribute on top of the hearse read no 1 daddy. At the gates of the palace of westminster, Police ConstableKeith Palmers coffin paused, at the very spot where he was killed 19 days ago. The place where, unarmed, he moved towards a man brandishing two knifes, where he put himself in harms way, where he protected parliament to protect our democracy. Police officers from every force in the country lined the route. Thousands of men and women who did not know keith palmer, but know what it means to wear the badge. You never really know what youre going to face when you go out there. So it is with incredible bravery that he did that. I think it brings home what the job is about, the risks that you take. It shows what a famil
