Thank you. As someone who has done a lot of Rebuilding Asa as someone who has done a lot of rebuilding as a nation, but you make of mrtrumps rebuilding as a nation, but you make of mr trumps America First policy . You have had a tough time with conservative radio being called a punching bag. Have you given any advice to President Trump . |i punching bag. Have you given any advice to President Trump . I do not think i am in a position to give any advice to President Trump, you can ta ke advice to President Trump, you can take care of himself what we did in colombia, quite rightly, as you mentioned, we persevered. When you know your port of destination, and you know youre doing the correct thing, he simply have to persevere, and that is what we have done in colombia, and that is why we were on the verge of being a failed state and now we are one of the stars of the region. That is through hard work, perseverance and clarity of your objectives. That is what we have done and we have to continue because the trip is not over. Mr president , i would like to ask you about trade. You are about to start the renegotiation of nafta and colombia and like other countries in the hemisphere, you have a large Trade Deficit with the United States. Are you worried about the fa ct states. Are you worried about the fact that that could contribute to increasing that Trade Deficit . M has been a long process and it has beena has been a long process and it has been a great thing to watch in the sense that the president has done a great job, sense that the president has done a greatjob, thats not easy after so many years of war. So i am very proud to get to know you and i really congratulate you. There is nothing tougher than peace, and we wa nt nothing tougher than peace, and we want to make peace all over the world and you are a great example of somebody of that. That was a long, tough situation, as you know very well, coming from the country. But i think the president has done a magnificentjob, think the president has done a magnificent job, not easy, think the president has done a magnificentjob, not easy, but he has done a magnificentjob. Magnificentjob, not easy, but he has done a magnificent job. Clearly impossible on the trade issue, our deficit with the United States is not so large, it is a moderate deficit which, of course, both countries will try to increase the volume of trade in both directions and investment also in both directions. Colombia is becoming an important investor here in the United States, and this is not something many people know but we have considerable investment in the United States. We have attempted to give dynamism to these flows of trade, investment, getting together those main players who are the investors in the private sector. I believe the foundations have been laid. We have the free trade agreement, which is working well. The number of colombian businesses export at the United States has grown, and we both believe that we can take greater advantage of those agreements in order to increase flows in both directions for the benefit of the colombian and american people. Thank you very much, you. And the ends is a very interesting joint Press Conference in washington, dc. The leaders of the us and colombia walking off to the us and colombia walking off to the side of the stage. Thats died just some of the things we heard, in particular we heard from donald trump because it is better say the sta kes trump because it is better say the stakes have joined a trump because it is better say the stakes havejoined a higher still. Anthony, we have a situation where the president categorically denying, it did not happen, when asked about whether he told the fbi director to drop that investigation into Michael Flynn. If that memo exists and contains that quote, Those Two Accou Nts contains that quote, those two accounts do not fit. Exactly. He was very direct there. He cut of Jonathan Karl who was asking the question before he finished answering the question, saying, i did not ask him to back away from investigating Michael Flynn as my National Security adviser. We may have memos written byjames National Security adviser. We may have memos written by james coney, the fbi director, detailing every meeting he had with donald trump and the interaction they had so it would give a record of coneys account of those meetings. But if there is a Paper Trailfrom those meetings. But if there is a paper trail from an fbi those meetings. But if there is a Paper Trailfrom an fbi director, a Law Enforcement officer, detailing those accounts, you have to give those accounts, you have to give those documents a fair amount of weight and i think the public and investigators, including Robert Miller, the special counsel investigating this now, who will look at these documents. We also had the president saying he is looking forward to getting this situation behind us with reference to be investigations but that will not happen, will it . Know. Now that Robert Miller has been named, it would be a long process. If history is any guide to these types of independent investigations, whether it is an independent counsel or the kyran investigation or the investigation under george w bush, or all of these things, when you have a Prosecutor Type of person, some sort of an independent counsel looking into it, that will take time, not only to gather the start, but the material and some sort of conclusion, witnesses, issue subpoenas, all of that takes time. Mrtrump was subpoenas, all of that takes time. Mr trump was very critical Ofjames Coney Making Misstatements as he said, but later he said there was no conclusion, my enemies say there was no collusion with russia, but thats not strictly true, is it . His critics have said the campaign there may have been people who colluded with russia will have russian ties at the very least. There was Something Interesting i heard donald trump say there, he said i can only speakfor trump say there, he said i can only speak for myself, there is trump say there, he said i can only speakfor myself, there is no collusion, i can only speak for myself. He was distancing himself from people like Michael Flynn on his Campaign Manager who was so is the focus of this investigation, donald trump himself did not work with the russians but he will not go on the record saying anything about other people within his campaign. Thank you very much indeed. You coming over here soon, right . Iwobi over the next week. We look forward to having you here in the newsroom for a change. Donald trump was asked, did he tell the fbi director to drop that investigation into his former National Security adviser . The president looked the reporter straight back in the eye, steely eyed, and said, no, very categorical a nswer eyed, and said, no, very categorical answer and we will shall see where we go from there. Earlier, there were concerns there was a Terror Attack in new york, but that does not look like thats the case. One person is dead and at least 22 people are injured after a car crashed into pedestrians in new york. It happened in times square, right in the middle of the city. These are the pictures we have of the aftermath. Witnesses said the car drove against traffic and mounted the pavement. The driver of the car is now is custody and was named by police as a us citizen named richard rojas. He has two previous arrests for drink driving. The new york authorities gave a statement earlier. The worst went through my mind and thats why the mayor and i came here as quickly as we could. I spoke to a Detective Chief in manhattan south and we quickly determined that it doesnt appear to be terrorist related. Obviously, we know the times we are living in and we know its a dangerous moment in history. The second i heard it was times square, i knew that there was a tremendous Police Presence but, as weve learned more, there is no indication that this was terror. Nada tawfik is in new york. Its a scene that immediately makes new yorkers fear the worst. A car in the afternoon in times square went the wrong direction on Seventh Avenue in the heart of times square, going Out Of Control and ploughing through 23 pedestrians. It eventually hopped a metal ballard and stopped there. And what we know from officials is that they very quickly were able to apprehend the driver. He is a 26 year Old Former Navy member, and what they say is he has two prior arrests for drunk driving. The nypd says it believes this is an isolated incident, not terrorism related, but it has certainly caused a lot of chaos and fear here in new york. One young woman has died, they have confirmed. The other 22 people have been sent to local area hospitals. Times square has been replaced from a flood of people to a flood of Emergency Services and vehicles that have barricaded this area off. The new york mayor and governor did give details on this investigation and they have said, despite believing this was not something more nefarious, more a Emergency Services and beefed up key areas around new york out of abundance of caution and to send reassurance here to new yorkers. A lot of people like the sound of this players who dive in english football will face retrospective punishment. The fa has defined the new offence as successful deception of a match official. Given how often diving leads to controversy and injustice, you might think everyone likes this. Not so. Enter Sam Allardyce at crystal palace. Thats a shame i was expecting to see Sam Alla Rdyce thats a shame i was expecting to see Sam Allardyce Sam Allardyce is not keen on it, but what is the argument for this measure . Players who dive on the ground and when the bridge respectively look at it, they would then say this player deserves a yellow card because on so many occasions we see players had been given penalties when they maybe were not taken down so the fa have decided this is the case, they will work with purple teams in clubs and try to come up with a decision that is helpful for everyone. Sam alla rdyce has called is helpful for everyone. Sam allardyce has called did utter rubbish and believes Symbian Type System should come in, there should be video technology. They will look at players who go to the referee to try to give them a card signal. That is not the best thing to show young kids watching at home so maybe they can incorporate Something Like that in the future. Those of you who would like to see that clip from Sam Alla Rdyce, would like to see that clip from Sam Allardyce, you would like to see that clip from Sam Alla Rdyce, you can would like to see that clip from Sam Allardyce, you can find it right now on the bbc sport app. Inafew in a few minutes, we will bring you up in a few minutes, we will bring you up to date with a debate from leaders of some Political Parties.

I am from scotland. A lot of the younger ones are coming in polling with the parents, so it is encouraging to see younger ones coming in and voting. Were you interested in politics at i6 . Were you interested in politics at 16 . No, just browse if they are allowed to do lots of other things, why not vote as well . They are eligible to get married. |j why not vote as well .
