us presidents. 100 days in office. and as donald trump reaches that milestone — tens of thousands of protesters are rallying in washington and other us cities to express concern over climate change. mr trump has previously called it a hoax mr trump has previ.usly called it a hoax —— mr trump has previously called it a hoax. this is washington where crowds have been making their way to the white house to express their concern about climate change and the adminstration‘s plans to roll back measures to curb global to curb global warming. if we don't take care of earth, we don't have anything. we want our next generation to have this planet that has not been reported by corporations. in defence of our environment, for the climate, because we need to do it and we believe that. the president will not be marking his hundred days in washington. he has been downplaying the importance of the marker. this is how donald trump assessed how he has been doing. actually believe the first 100 days of my administration has been just about the most successful in our country's history. the most fundamental change can be found on the relationship between the people and their government. for too long, politicians cared more about special interest tha n politicians cared more about special interest than they did very successful future for all americans. the doucoure taxpayers money and sent theirjobs the doucoure taxpayers money and sent their jobs and the doucoure taxpayers money and sent theirjobs and wealth to other countries. not any more. so what are americans making of president donald trump? was called to the state capital of pennsylvania, where he is spending part of the day at a campaign still rally, taking place inafew campaign still rally, taking place in a few hours' time. our correspondent is there. protest outside the white house, but you are there with supporters. what are people across america meeting of donald trump's first 100 days? welcome to the swing state of pennsylvania. this state was crucial for donald trump to try to win the white house and she turned republican. if you asked me what people think, these are trump supporters. they've been here since the early morning train to get to the early morning train to get to the front of this rally. what do you think of his hundred days? fantastic. what are his main accomplishments? just getting things started. getting people talking. thinking about what her future is going to be and he is there, he has got it, he is doing it. you've been waiting for him for a little while. what they want is your president? just what happens then. he will tell us just what happens then. he will tell us the same thing he has been telling others but it is working. he has people talking across the country. some people can't handle it, but that is on them. the rest of the country, they are for it. thank you very much. just to give you an idea of how big the queue is, it stretches around the building. donald trump has signed a 29 executive orders but he is yet to have a major legislative one. he has managed to get a supreme court peck through, which was an extremely difficult thing to do. people here, obviously, think he is winning. i can speak to this woman who i spoke to an earlier. you have been in this queue, when it comes to donald trump, she doesn't have many legislative ones, so when it comes to it, do you think he's doing 0k as a president? i think he's doing better than 0k. there are a number of people out there who feel that he hasn't had the legislative wing —— ones, that he has perhaps not got 0bama care repealed or replaced, that his travel ban is stuck. what do you think? i think he has a choke hold on him. it's hardly the success of something in business when you have summoned people at you. it is ha rd to have summoned people at you. it is hard to get things done. he has a lot of good people watch them and he is trying to implement what he promised. but it's quite hard to do when you have people per win knew in opposite directions. even our own party has a tendency to do a little pilling but once we get past that, i think we will be great. there are rallies taking place outside the white house so as well as his supporters, he has his critics. 0ne thing everyone agrees on, donald trump campaigned as being an unconventional president and campaigner, and that, i think, unconventional president and campaigner, and that, ithink, in the first 100 days is what many people will say she has proved to be. what's more about the first hundred days on a website, including the squares we can test your knowledge. the president of the european commission has warned that many people in britain are underestimating the difficulties of brexit. jean—claude yuncker was speaking after eu leaders, meeting in brussels, unanimously agreed their negotiating position on britain's departure from the union. from brussels damian grammaticas reports. at the heart of the eu today, european leaders, 27 of them, now ready for brexit. their offer to the uk, ready to go. we all want a close and strong future relationship with the uk. there is absolutely no question about it. but before discussing the future, we had to sort out the past. michel barnier, is the man entrusted with the negotiation. everything ready for the negotiation? i think so, it depends on the uk. eu leaders are worried about what angela merkel his concerns are shared by eu leaders too. what eu leaders are most worried about is what angela merkel has called "illusions" on the british side about what can be achieved in brexit negotiations. this process today is about injecting a bit of realism into the debate. the eu's red lines. it took the 27 just minutes to sign off on their negotiating guidelines. they are clear brexit talks will be in phases. stage one, the uk must satisfy their demands on exit terms. what illusions do you think some of the uk harbour? translation: sometimes, i have the impression that some in britain, i don't mean the government, do not understand the process we have set, a phased negotiation. this gives me the opportunity to say again, there is no conspiracy, no—one is ganging up on britain. but the eu is being firm. theresa may's desire to talk about a future trade deal early on won't be entertained. first, the eu want to agree a guarantee of citizen's rights. meaning the rights to live, work and study now enjoyed by 4 million people, eu citizens in the uk, british citizens in the eu. a financial settlement. meaning the uk must agree to pay all its portion of eu spending up to 2020. and solutions to avoid new border controls between north and south in ireland. and the eu side believe even agreeing the first item on their list, citizens' rights, won't be straightforward. jean—claude juncker says the eu is ready to give guarantees but he isn't so sure about the uk. we have already prepared a text which could be adopted immediately if our british friends were ready to sign it like that. that will probably not happen. and that's just one stumbling block. money could be another before any talk about trade deals will start. tens of thousands of protesters in us cities over climate change. and we'll be speaking to damian live a little later in the programme. donald trump has accused north korea of ‘disrespecting' china, after it test—fired a second ballistic missile. the test was launched hours after the american secretary of state rex tillerson called for a tougher international approach at the united nations security council. meanwhile, an american aircraft carrier — the uss carl vinson — has reportedly arrived in the region after it was sent to the korean peninsula as part of mr trump's "armada". after saturday's failed launch, the japanese government condemned the test and said it had lodged a strong protest with north korea through its diplomatic channels. it is a story that has world leaders across the world worried, we have with us who someone who used to be one. kevin rudd is the former prime minister of australia and now is the president of the asia society policy institute in new york. hejoins us live. what do you think about trump's policy? i think the president's strategy has one objective at the stage and that is to apply maximum pressure on china. because of north korea's international, financial and energy dependency on the people's republic of china, what president trump is seeking to do, based on those discussions, is to keep that pressure on, in the hope that beijing can actually bring about, through political pressure, the change in norse kiddie behaviour. —— north korean behaviour. will this work? this has not been tried with this focus before. china has been relu cta nt to this focus before. china has been reluctant to deploy this level of diplomatic lavage in the past, not just because of historical relationship reasons with norse code here, going back to the korean war half a century ago, but because china is often plain about the fact that it does not want to see a conflagration on the peninsula, it does not want to see the collapse of the regime and it does not want to see any american troops landing on what was then be a vacated territory in the north. this is a complicated and multilayered situation. what centres there at that china is going to play ball? we don't know. there are divided opinions in beijing on this question and frankly for any government this would be a hard call. 0n the one hand, they don't wa nt call. 0n the one hand, they don't want nuclear power operation on the korean peninsula and they don't want cisco gear orjapan declaring —— developing their own deterrent. 0n the other hand, they have deep caution about the great unknowns which all from putting pressure on zhong yang. you see the regime of kimjong in zhong yang. you see the regime of kim jong in the fall or do you see him fall and replaced with someone they are even less familiar with? this is the debate at present and thatis this is the debate at present and that is why politics within china and diplomacy is important for the united states. as a former prime minister, someone who has been in on the strategies of getting north korea to the table, what do you think you should be done to bring in north korea to be more compromising in this situation? i think there are two things. we havejust in this situation? i think there are two things. we have just discussed one of them, which is seeking to work with our chinese friends to substantially up the level of each which is currently being deployed against north korea by beijing. the second thing is this. the next big hurdle and this tense situation on the korean peninsula will come with the korean peninsula will come with the president —— the next election or of the president of south korea. that is just a week away. historically, the north behaved badly on such occasions. they did so several years ago and did it five yea rs before several years ago and did it five years before that. so, if the diplomatic message can be kept —— got through, to say that it is time not to do what you normally do when there is collection, which could fire for another battery of missiles, instead, how about a separate meeting with the incoming president in some third—party location? thank you very much for being with us. nothing, it seems was able to withstand the tornado. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident and the russians denied anything had gone wrong. 0nly and the russians denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began to increase outside russia will be forced to admit the accident. the mood here is of great celebration. at the end of a 12 year warfor celebration. at the end of a 12 year war for them. they've taken the capitalfor which they war for them. they've taken the capital for which they have been fighting so long. it was 7am, the day when power began to pass from the minority to the majority, when africa reclaim its last great colony. this is bbc world news today. the headlines: protests over climate change. european leaders have taken just four minutes to unanimously approve a negotiation strategy for britain's withdrawal from deq. a negotiation strategy for britain's withdrawalfrom deq. more and a negotiation strategy for britain's withdrawal from deq. more and that story, our european correspondent is in brussels. what message did europeans —— european leaders sent today? 0ne clear message they wanted to send is that they are united. it took them four minutes to agree this. that is something they wanted to flag up. they walked in for their meeting, instantly signed off on this negotiating position. there was now debate, no discussion, no disagreement. they had prepared it and they want the uk to know that the 27 other eu countries, the remaining countries, are all united around this one set of guidelines, this one position. the second thing they want the uk to lawyers that they want the uk to lawyers that they have various requirements that will have to be met as they go through the negotiation. those are the red lines and that is what they expect. 0ne expect. one of those red lines will be go for spell. how much acrimony could this week to between eu leaders and the united kingdom? it could lead to an oral —— an enormous amount. there are fears it could lead to a breakdown of the entire talks and the whole separation process. one thing they are very sensitive about already here is the way this is presented in the uk. you mentioned it as a divorce bill, due say it is not bad. this is the financial obligations of the eu and the uk that they have entered into as a member of the eu. projects that signed off on an a multi—year budget that stretches up to 2020, which has already agreed and approved. there are farmers, scientists, programmes leading the uk that are expecting those payments and the save the uk has the shall i will honour that obligation before they can move on to discussions about something like a trade deal. that is something that they want to focus on. what about the other priorities for the eu leaders in brussels? the first priority for them, before money, what matters to them even more people. there the point of the lives of 11.5 million people who have moved there in the eu, taking advantage of the rates they have as members of the eu, that is european citizens to the uk, uk citizens elsewhere in the eu, withjobs, studies, homes, families, access to pensions and social security rates, all that. what will happen to them when the uk reads? the eu said what this set of very quickly and all those rates to be guaranteed for a lifetime, into the future. that is the first priority and the something be absolutely want to nail down. turkey has blocked access to one of the world's most visited websites — wikipedia. anyone trying to access wikipedia from inside turkey today will see this. the government said wikipedia was attempting to run a "smear campaign" against turkey with some of the pages on the website suggesting ankara was co—operating with militant groups. president erdogan's government also dismissed 4,000 public officials today in the latest in a string of purges following last year's failed coup attempt. i've been speaking to alp toker, from the group turkey blocks, which monitors internet shutdowns in turkey. it's a widespread clock which is affecting the whole country. this looks like it will be in for the long haul. why do you think wikipedia has been blocked now?m is unprecedented that such a large, international site like this has been blocked. we are used to social media blocking, but this is slightly different and this is different because wikipedia as a platform for others as well. people use it to present a turkish point of view. the figures walked in turkey, that means that turkey —— turkish people cannot edit it. it's almost heading over editorial policy to other countries. it's a policy that could backfire. we have heard government officials have been dismissed and popular dating shows have been banned. what justification is the government using? that is part of the fact, a response against the coup. a lot of people support this. they see a huge fit in the country and the internet censorship is part of that crackdown and seen as a censorship is part of that crackdown and seen as a necessary measure. censorship is part of that crackdown and seen as a necessary measure. it seems like a lot of innocent people are being caught up. it has affected the online culture a lot. we have been tracking this. and jimmy wales the founder of wikipedia has tweeted today about this. he said: access to information is a fundamental human right. turkish people, i will always stand with you to fight for this right. and now an update on a story we've reported on a few days about two trekkers from taiwan who were found in the himalayas about seven weeks after going missing. a high—altitude search and rescue team found them in a canyon in nepal's dhading district. after being rescued a few days ago, doctors are now continuing with treatment. here's the latest from the bbc‘s
