Anger over president the early results are in. MacronPension Reforms. This is the scene right now live in paris. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a tree that has seen better days. Social media has been mocking norways annual gift to the uk, its one of the most contagious human diseases which seems a little. Dead this one person with measles can contaminate 18 others, compared to just two year. Others in the case of flu. And now measles cases are surging worldwide there are devastating outbreaks hello, and welcome. I michelle three in new york. Matthew prices in in all regions. London. It is official. The process of formally removing a sitting this evenin, the World Health Organisation has published president has moved to the next its latest figures for cases stage. Democrats announced they will of measles in 2018 and move forward with articles of the threat is growing. Its preventable, though impeachment against donald trump. If people are vaccinated. Meaning, he could bejust the according to who figures, more impeachment against donald trump. Meaning, he could be just the third than 140,000 people died last year us president to meet that fate. But 16,000 more deaths than in 2017. The chances that the republican majority in the senate will convict emmett, well, they are pretty scant. Nancy pelosi, the most senior who estimates there were more than 9. 7 million cases democrat in the house of thats a jump of two million, representatives, that the president left her no choice, she spoke and from the previous year. However, only a fraction indicated that the panel is moving of the cases were officially reported 353,000. Towards at least three articles of im joined now by anthropologist impeachment. Abuse of power, dr heidi larson from the London School of hygiene bribery, and obstruction. Nick and tropical medicine. Brya nt bribery, and obstruction. Nick bryant sent this report. On capitol shes also the founder hill today, the battle lines and started being marked out, for an of the Vaccine Confidence project. Epic politicalfight. Started being marked out, for an epic political fight. For a good evening, thank you forjoining started being marked out, for an epic politicalfight. For a process likely now to lead to the trial of us. Good evening, thank you forjoining us. Why is it getting worse . M donald trump, a constitutional spectacle seen only twice before in good evening, thank you forjoining us. Why is it getting worse . It is a the turbulent history of america. Complex of factors. We have one for the first time, the democratic migration issues around the world, house speaker, nancy pelosi, says which always makes it difficult to shes ready to move forward with follow u p which always makes it difficult to follow up with people around the drafting what are called articles of impeachment. A charge sheet, in world. Conflict, distress, supply effect, accusing the president of strike outs, but we also have a high crimes and misdemeanors. Growing vaccine critical movements sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our that are purposely trying to disrupt founders, and a heart full of love things, which doesnt help the complex of other issues. Why do you for america, today, im asking our chairman to besiege with articles of think that vaccines raise an impeachment. The democrats are increasing amount of suspicion when accusing donald trump of undermining over the years, theyve been shown american democracy by trying to get political dirt from the president of to work over the century . Ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, on his over the years, theyve been shown to work over the century . Well, i think weve done the vaccine arrival, the former prep Vice President , joe biden from using us military aid as an inducement. But confidence project will be going into ten years of research on this mrtrump, who military aid as an inducement. But mr trump, who returned last night subject, and weve increasingly seen from the nato summit in london vaccine issues in the claims hes the victim of a witchhunt. If you are going to contentiousness of it are because impeach me, he wrote do it now, theyre so highly embedded in government and big business, and a fast, so we can have a fair trial in numberof other the senate and so that our country government and big business, and a number of other factors that people can get back to business stop. Its are losing trust in. So is probably the only Health Intervention that touches every single life on the become an impassioned fight and americas most powerful woman was askedif americas most powerful woman was asked if she hated the most powerful planet. And when you have something thatis planet. And when you have something that is population wide regulated, man in america. I dont hate anyone. I was raised in sometimes mandated by the government a way that is a heart full of love. If sometimes mandated by the government if you have an issue with the and always prayed for the president. Government, that is an easy ploy to and always prayed for the president. And i still pray for the president. I pray for the president all the disrupt. And it is unfortunate time. So dont mess with me when it because it affects lives, measles comes to words like that. Its kills, it is a hugely can have beginning to look a lot like donald huge convocations, even if you live trump will be impeached by through it. It is not something to christmas. Next year, face a trial play around with. We frequently talk in the senate, where his republican allies have the votes to deliver a about fake news, the role of social not guilty verdict. Nick bryant, bbc media, andi about fake news, the role of social media, and i wasjust curious whether or not that is a factor in news, washington. What youve talked about . Is training is not from washington is the former adviser to george w bush. Certainly a factor, i wouldnt blame lovely to see you, ron. I mean, we it solely on that factor. Theres a think we all know where this lot of Human Emotion behind this. It ultimately ends, if it gets to the certainly has an amplifying effect, and that has really been part of the senate the republicans are not going to vote in favour of it, so it wont problem, its really been quite disruptive differently in different result that the president will be convicted. But where do you think settings. And you say human this leads politically, beyond that . Emotions, how do you counter that if welcome a good evening to you, you are in the medical profession matthew. I think, welcome a good evening to you, matthew. Ithink, politically speaking, we are entering a phase trying to advocate for more vaccines to ta ke trying to advocate for more vaccines where a phase where Speaker Pelosi to take place . I think for one by her announcement this morning, all but certain to have an thing, we need to have more empathy with some of the mothers questioning impeachment of president from the United States house of representatives. So, if then that happens before christmas, as we have it, notjudging with some of the mothers questioning it, not judging them with some of the mothers questioning it, notjudging them further just heard, it goes to the senate, questions, they are not feeling in where than the political trial goes. An easy place right now with so many where you have the chiefjustice of fingers pointing at what is being the United States Supreme Court sitting as the judge in this case, termed anti vax, and i think we need where all 100 members of the senate to rebuild that trust and rebuild are the jury. So, where all 100 members of the senate are thejury. So, politically speaking, thats going to take a that conversation to help get their numberof the speaking, thats going to take a number of the democratic confidence back, because they are president ial candidates off the much more vulnerable now to being campaign trailand president ial candidates off the campaign trail and back to the Senate Chamber to preside over a trial. Persuaded about alternatives when they had to do this. They believe they are not feeling confident in they are not feeling confident in that he abused his power. They the system. We will leave there, but believe that a crime has been thank you very much forjoining us. Committed by a sitting president. There was no choice. How difficult thank you. And now for the latest edition of our election blind dates series, where we set up two people doesnt get for donald trump, with opposing political views. Although he says he relishes this today, Alistair Campbell prospect, it tricky . Well, its who was once tony blairs spin doctor meets ken clarke a conservative mp for nearly 50 going to be very tricky from a political standpoint. How can the years whos now stepping down. White house negotiate with the house kens a lifelong tory, alistairs a lifelong labour supporter, of representatives to get but now theyve both been kicked out legislation passed when the house of representatives in essence is trying of their parties. To remove him from office. So, as we so will they find they have far more head into the 2020 election season, in common than they ever thought . Its going to be very difficult for heres how they got on. The congress to pass legislation my name is alastair campbell. That the president will sign and i think people will know me instead, we are going to see here a as having worked for tony blair. Lot of acrimonious debates going in so, yeah, ive always been labour. Kenneth clark, health secretary, home secretary, pennsylvania avenue here in and chancellor of the exchequer. Washington, dc. No surprise the lord chancellor and justice secretary. President has been tweeting about im a discontented conservative. This this morning. Basically saying corbyn orjohnson. He welcomes a trial in the senate. Such a joyless election. Saying there is no case here. Hes its different. Also been saying its a big hoax. Is there a danger that donald trump oh my god. Possibly overplayed his hand at all by creating too much drama around this . Good afternoon to you, forgive me for not leaping to my michelle. Look, there is always a danger. If we get the impeachment, feet, im rather lame nowadays. If we had into a trial, there are what are you going to go to . 100 numbers of United States Senate Community 67 of them to vote to re move community 67 of them to vote to remove you from office. I think the well, ive voted every longer the trial goes on, the more election in my life so far, potential peril at the president i voted conservative. Could be in. Why is that . You might but im a discontented conservative. I know a lot of people in the major find evidence that comes out that government, not quite sure who they are going to vote for. May be some republicans say, you theres a spectrum, 0k . Know, i wasnt going to vote to re move know, i wasnt going to vote to remove him from office, but im troubled about this or that aspect corbyn is there and farage of what we have just learned. So, is there and johnson isjust inside farage. The prospect of the president saying so where are you . Im centre right about there. That he wants, bring it on, lets have a trial, thats not something right, 0k. That i would want heading into the new year if i were the president. And where the lib dems . The lib dems, well they are they are protest, run, we have to leave it there for they are vehicle for protest votes. Now, thank you so much. Lets bring are you going to protest against that lot . Well, thats what a protest vote is. Right. In elizabeth in washington. She is i am a conservative. The bureau chief of the new york your party has become the brexit party. Well, we always had times, the Washington Bureau chief. A right wing fringe. Now they have taken over. Elizabeth, talk us through what now, well, ive got to make my mind up. What is the scope of these articles you havent decided yet . No. Of impeachment . Well, we understand im having a ham, egg and chips i think. 0h, are you . Cheese omelette. There are still debating about how chips . No, no chips. Much, whether or not to include anything from the muller how are you voting . Investigation into russian ive basically decided im interference in 2016, but right now, going to back the people who have we are looking potentially at three been early supporters articles of impeachment. 0ne about of a peoples vote. In terms of my own vote, the abuse of power, and second on im going to vote for. The abuse of power, and second on the obstruction ofjustice, and a third on obstruction of congress. On as you are a campaigner for the labour party . Obstruction ofjustice, we just iam. Dont know whether that would no, yes. Laughing and. Include obstructing part of the you know, the trouble is. Molar investigation. Thats being debated as we speak. But that is and im going to go help what we are looking at here, and we Dominic Grieve if i can, are looking also at next week and david, ithink. Hearings on it those articles, and ive endorsed people potentially a vote on impeachment like david and Dominic Grieve. You and i, for the first time in our lives are, in before christmas. Ron wasjust our ways, actively supporting the same candidates in particular cities. Angling into christmas this wasnt going to look at for donald trump having this go on, but the dems are, the democrats are trying to do this, as you say come on a pretty quick jeremy could never timeline. Does that hurt them . Become Prime Minister. Depends on you ask. From their point not in 1,000 years. Of view they want to get this over he was close last time. Hes a with quickly before christmas, so bogeyman, hes been successfully that by january there portrayed as a bogeyman. Boriss with quickly before christmas, so that byjanuary there can be a trial best argument for voting for him is in the senate. They do want to avoid dragging this into the primary because otherwise you getjeremy corbyn. Borisjohnson uses these season, the president ial primary season, the president ial primary season next year. The way it looks boris phrases, these schoolboy right now it could be a set of phrases. I remember you said, when trials going on at the same time as will he realise hes actually, for the iowa caucuses, and the new the first time in his life, got a hampshire primary. And potentially seriousjob . The first time in his life, got a serious job . Can he the first time in his life, got a seriousjob . Can he start going into super tuesday, they want the first time in his life, got a serious job . Can he start taking the first time in his life, got a seriousjob . Can he start taking it seriously . Not treating it as a to avoid that, and so thats why game. And he still hasnt taken it there is this speed up timetable, seriously, because he still treats there is this speed up timetable, the democrats also argue that they it as seriously, because he still treats itasa seriously, because he still treats it as a game. Jeremy is genuinely have plenty of evidence that there is no need to delay here, that for left wing, he genuinely believes it example, my transcript of the call all. Boris became a brexiteer by between the president of the United States tells them almost everything. Accident. Hes notjohn mager or tony blair, is he . I know youve not donald trump says he wants a long beenin trial, do you think Mitch Mcconnell, tony blair, is he . I know youve not been in favour of a second the republican leader in the senate referendum. And i understand that. Will go for that, or would he want to try and wrap it up more quickly . If it was the only way to stop leaving with no deal, i would. It is well, we hear two different things, a hugely complex and technical i cant well, we hear two different things, icant imagine well, we hear two different things, i cant imagine that Mitch Mcconnell wants a long trial, and im not sure subject. I think the subject that to a yes or no opinion poll. |j why donald trump wants a long trial. Subject. I think the subject that to the republicans do believe, or at a yes or no opinion poll. I agree. Least donald trump in the white house believes that this will help what are we now supposed to be doing . Two old men are going to them in the Election Campaign of 2020. Certainly it helped president stand up and walk out. Right, lovely to see you again. Here we go, after clinton you know, certainly it didnt hurt president clinton, and he was very popular by the end of you. I dont think hush puppies make his impeachment. Its unclear if that was the same for donald trump. Any suede shoes. Again, we dont know what kind of evidence might come out of the trial, we dont know if perhaps if Rudy Giuliani orjohn bolton or nick hush puppies apparently dont make mulvaney might appear at the trial. Suede shoes. So there is a great number of you will recall that borisjohnson unknowns for donald trump. And presumably come i mean theres was criticised for not also the possibility of putting life witnesses into the senate, and that appearing on andrew neils show for a pre election interview, comes with post possible advantages despitejeremy corbyn having done so. For the in president but also and now, the labour party has written to the bbc to complain possible huge disadvantages. About its coverage of campaigning for next weeks election, accusing well, of course. We heard some of it of bias. Those witnesses during the house meanwhile, andrew has just outlined the questions that he would ask hearings and they were much of what the Prime Minister and challenged they said was very damaging to the him to accept his invitation and appear on his show president. And so, even having and answer those questions. Republican saying that, yes, we are questions of trust. The questions we would like to put that mrjohnson so very troubled by what happened with you can hear his replies. But he ukraine, but we dont think its cant, because he wont sit down with us. There is no law or supreme impeachable. Thats not a strong court ruling that can force mr defence. From a Donald Trumps point johnson to participate in any bbc of view, he did nothing wrong. So he leaders interview. But the prime thought the call was perfect. So minister of our nation will at times there is a great deal of danger for have to stand up to donald trump, there is a great deal of danger for the president in a senate trial. Vladimir putin, president gee of elizabeth, we have to leave it china. So we certainly dont expect there, but thank you so much. Too much that you spend half an hour with us standing up to me. Matthew, you know what was striking to me watching today, the press he stood followed up by saying he is conference with nancy pelosi, particularly, that moment when she was referring to that question and available anytime anywhere for that the use of the word hate. I mean, issue. It has become a massive problem, but whether or not boris she was really showing her metal, and this was someone who is johnson will appear, we just dont relu cta nt to and this was someone who is reluctant to get into this process, but now, shes much going to be know. He has shown no sign of doing so know. He has shown no sign of doing so after all this point. Leading the impeachment process for her party. You will make yes, a british cave expert has testified absolutely. He saw the way she that he was left feeling humiliated reacted there, and clearly, she is and ashamed after elon musk labelled him pedo guy online. Saying hate doesnt come into a this Vernon Unsworth is suing the tesla is the right thing to do, and i believe we have to do it. Founderfor defamation. But we will see where time goes on whether it has been. And whether it the diver, who helped rescue 12 boys trapped in a thai cave last year, moves the political needle. Said mr musks comments meanwhile, in france commits the were very hurtful. 0ur correspondent david willis biggest Public Sector strike in is outside the courthouse orderfor in los angeles for us. Biggest Public Sector strike in order for sentry. Biggest Public Sector strike in orderfor sentry. We biggest Public Sector strike in order for sentry. We dont know how long its going to last, and although there are some 250 separate demonstrations going on across david, just outline how this trial france with the protesters angry about planned Pension Changes is going at the moment. It is the announced by president emanuel background that would see those and third day of the trial, and vernon some professions retiring later or unsworth has been cross examined facing reduced pay outs. This morning. He gave evidence tear gas was fired at protesters in yesterday and said that tweet from paris, popular tourist sites were closed. Hundreds of thousands of elon musk, which referred to him as Public Sector workers are on strike a paedophile, was humiliating, in the transport sector. The education, health, Emergency Service dirty, and shameless, and he was systems as well. Students are also left feeling ashamed after it. They on strike, hundreds of flights and are trying, the elon musk defence Rail Services have been cancelled. Lucy williamson has sent us this team, to chip away at statements by report from paris. Tear gas today unsworth that his repetition has been harmed by all this, and it is masked the real danger facing likely to continue for quite some president background. Not the risk time because it was slow moving this morning, but we still have to hear ofa president background. Not the risk of a vehicle on fire in central paris, but the risk of a silent evidence from Vernon Unsworths ex wife and some other expert majority such a light by opposition witnesses. So it is unlikely we will to his Pension Reforms. To his Pension Reforms. Most get closing statements today. But majority such a light by opposition to his Pension Reforms. Most marched once we do, this will go to the jury peacefully against the offer of longer working lives and smaller to decide. And am i right thinking pensions. Their clients anger that elon musk appeared on the first directed more at to politicians than day . He did indeed, and he said that police. Translation they sit in the National Assembly and sleep most of the time. And they in his defence, this tweet was not earn 5000 euros a month, we are in to be, as he put it, taken the street, breaking our back. The big question is whether anger over literally. Elon musk is the founder Pension Reforms will ignite into and ceo of tesla motors, the founder wider discontent. Both with the of space x, and one of the richest men in the world. We dont know how economic situation, and with president macron himself. 90 of much Vernon Unsworth is seeking in trains across the country where cancelled cancelled almost all lines damages, 75,000 is being bandied on the paris metro were closed. Both about, but no figure has been have now extended their strike into attached to this. But presumably mr tomorrow. The government says it can unsworth is looking for a big payday no longer justify paying if he is successful in this case. Is tomorrow. The government says it can no longerjustify paying billions of euros to subsidize special pension there a business story in this at all . Does this affect tesla as a rights for police. Railway workers and other Public Sector staff. The corporation . I think there is new system will be fairer and more obviously concern amongst the vast equal, it says. But protesters say its the workers who will pay. In mr amount of shareholders of tesla, people who are tied in business wise macrons france some parts of society are more equal than others. To elon musk. The way he seems to go about tweeting, he tweets a lot and lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. He has been in hot water before Pension Reforms are at the heart of this, as we know, and exchange that enormous shutdown across france, there has been a political flash point in the country for Many Commission for example recalling yea rs. Flash point in the country for many years. Back in 95, there was a foul on previous tweets of his. So general strike over Pension Reforms that were being thought of by the it has been a rather difficult Prime Minister, edward philippe, thats not the country crippled by relationship elon musk has had with purchase for three weeks. The french twitter, and this was a tweet he system compare with elsewhere . Took down not long after posting it. Welcome of the official retirement age in its low. Its currently 62. But by that point, Vernon Unsworths team claimed the damage was already president macron isnt suggesting done. David, this particular fight rising it, despite it being much lower than many countries, including between this wealthy entrepreneur and a private individual seems to the uk and us, where both said at have been quite nasty . It has, around 66 years. Its also costly. 0ne around 66 years. Its also costly. One of the most costly in fact in actually, and weve had these two the oecd, over 14 of gdp, as you people basically at loggerheads. Elon musk making the point that this can see. Now, that means francis spending more than twice the rate of man started it all by rubbishing the the netherlands, which has been ranked by a series of bodies as having the best Pension System in prospect of a mini submarine going the world. Just before we went on in there to rescue these boys air, igot the world. Just before we went on air, i got the latest from our trapped in the cave in thailand. He reporter on the ground, hugh schofield. What are things looking said that elon musk could stick his like at the moment . Well, the submarine where the sun dont shine, demonstration here in paris is more and that was actually what provoked or less ended. Its taken all the tweet in question. So there was afternoon, and has finished as light no love lost between these two men, which is fair to say. Lets just fell, which is a kilometre, a mile or so hope elon musk stop tweeting because fell, which is a kilometre, a mile or so in that direction. But, there he gets him in trouble. David willis are still police siren sounding, it in la, thank you so much. Could be that, you know, there is this is beyond 100 days. Still to come has the art world some little disturbances attached to gone totally bananas . The end of this demonstration, it 0ne gallery sells the yellow often happens that way. Certainly fruit taped to a wall for an eye watering sum. Earlier on, there were many well explain all. Confrontations between police and writers. Writers around where i am now, but in general, as we said, Mental Health patients in england desperate for help the march was peaceful, and a pretty are being left in limbo even after they have started treatment festive atmosphere, and above all, thats according to research it was very very big. What is out carried out by the bbc. About these protests is that they nhs england has acknowledged that are against reforms by micron, that pressure on the system is causing havent yet been unveiled. Delays but insists that when patients are treated many of them show a significant improvement. Dominic hughes reports. That is true. We know that the broad picture of pension reform, he said it out in his manifesto it does make years ago, thats a promise, its i wonder whether ill make it through the next day or not. Paul not a big surprise. The reform is to do away with all of the special has struggled with his Mental Health schemes that there are 42 different ever since developing ptsd as a Pension Systems in france and to police officer. He relies on talking make it in a form so that the therapy is provided by the nhs, but private sector, the Public Sector, and the special sectors like at the sometimes the weight for treatment to begin has been too long and metro workers are all broadly dangerous. When you are actively treated in the same way. The devil is in the detail though, and this is that unwell and all you are after what has got the unions exercised. His help and support with whatever it is youre going through, the symptoms i was experiencing just a clearly, there are some unions, those representing the metro and delay of several weeks or a month, rail workers, for example, who stand clearly to lose, because they have or six weeks is literally a lifetime had a privileged position in the for people when you are acutely past. But there are other parts of unwell. And i have no doubts that the working body, like the teachers, with the right timing, the perfect for example, who are generally storm of events, it couldve been a afraid that under the reforms, they will lose out. It all gets very story with my own outcomes. As complicated. Its about how you calculate bonuses and end of career demand increases, the talking salaries and so on, and factor that Therapy Service is a victim of its own success. Last year, more than a into your pension. They dont know Million People in england were whats going to happen, but they fear, and they are anxious that the referred. The first appointment is, reform will spell a loss of income broadly speaking, just an assessment. It is not until the second appointment at the real for them when they retire. I have to talking therapy work begins. And it say though, you know, to be fair to is here that people are facing waiting times. On average, the way macron, a lot of the opposition todayis macron, a lot of the opposition today is not really aimed at his it isa pension reform plan, which as you waiting times. On average, the way it is a long two months. But for one say is still very much in the air as regards of detail, the true venom six, they are having to wait longer. And the volume of people who have waiting times cannot be compared turned out is due more to a kind of directly. Nhs england is now putting general resistance to him, macron more money into Mental Health, the man, which unites everyone on including training more therapists. The man, which unites everyone on and it says hundreds of thousands of the left and indeed, the far right people like paul are being helped to here. So it does seem the strength ove rco m e people like paul are being helped to overcome their problems. Dominic of feeling clearly is going to be hughes, bbc news. Dominating the news in france over the next few days, and next few weeks. But i cant help but feel, universal basic income is not matthew, we have been here before. A new idea, nor is it complicated we really have, we mention that everyone is given a small amount of money to prevent them falling reform idea back in 95, 94, 95, below a certain level of living. One of the most note worthy about the president , then came proponents was dr Martin Luther king in the 60s. President sir kozy about ten years, and even president nixon toyed slightly less than that, trying to with the idea shortly after. Introduce similar reforms come here its risen to prominence again as president macron again. Its been in the 2020 democratic primary race, going on 25 years, they have got to with tech Entrepreneur Andrew Yang do something to bring the deficit making it the centre piece of his campaign. Under control, and yet, on each but opponents say its a lazy solution that fails occasion, protesters stop them. To solve the real problem. Youve got to ask whether he will be the bbcs sophie long has been to stockton, california, successful. I suggest history where a project is under way to see suggests that he is not going to. If it could actually work. Can he succeed where others have failed . Well, in other news, train horn. A man who is reportedly russian for so long, the city has been billionaire has been killed in a three car collision positioned in the National Psyche in the village of as a place of problems. 0xshott, in surrey. Named by russian media, dmitry 0bretetsky had been walking his dog when he was hit you go look at stockton by a car. For what not to do. British police say theyre investigating to see if there in 2012, Stockton Police department are any suspicious circumstances. It comes after a number of high recorded 71 murders, profile russian deaths in the home making it one of the most dangerous counties in recent years. Cities in the United States. Its kind of a perfect storm. It started with a lot a us sailor shot dead two civilian of gang violence, a lot of narcotic violence. Workers before turning the gun on himself at the Pearl Harbour it was just a difficult year military base near honolulu to work here in stockton. In hawaii on wednesday. He also injured a third worker, but things are looking up. Who is now in a stable condition. Murder and crime rates are down. The incident sparked a lockdown at the historic base, there are still pockets which is on the hawaiian of desperate poverty. Hundreds are homeless, island of oahu. And many more are only one paycheque away from joining them. Three european powers have warned the un that iran is developing nuclear ca pable ballistic missiles. The average eviction in this country is for 200 300. Not a huge amount of money, thats causing people the uk, france and germany say iran tested a shahab 3 to lose their housing. But a young leader is missile variant equipped trying to change that. Michael tubbs was born with a manoeuvrable here to a teenage mother and grew up re entry vehicle. This would be in violation with a father in prison. Of a resolution endorsing he is the spearhead of a project the 2015 iran nuclear deal. Which he hopes might help find a way iran denies the allegation. To provide stability and security for everyone. I know from experience, the man who shot dead unarmed black a lot of the tropes we have teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 is suing his family, about working people, their attorney, the us state about people in poverty, the people and others for around £80 million. Who are poor, just arent true. Although folks in our Committee George zimmerman was cleared struggle i didnt meet of the 17 year olds murder in one anyone who is lazy. Of floridas most high i didnt mean anyone who did bad things with money, profile criminal cases. And i didnt meet anyone whojust the lawsuit claims a fake witness sat back and wanted the government to take care of them. Was used against him. Trayvons uncle dismissed instead, i met people who were stretching dollars, who were borrowing from each other, despite not having any means of their own. People who were doing what they can the lawsuit as a publicity stunt. Come of the problem wasnt the individual, but structural. So the stockton Economic Empowerment demonstration, or seed as its known here, isnt giving 125 people 500 a month, no strings attached. In the uk, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson was pictured taking a selfie with morning tv show hosts Holly Willoughby and philip is is giving. Schofield this morning.

My husband goes well, wow what . And the uss problems with huawei i said im getting an extra 500 a month. Are rumbling on, too. And he said for what . They have launched a legal challenge i said for nothing. And he said what you against a decision by us mean for nothing . Thomas vargas was not dealt regulators to classify it a great hand in life. As a National Security threat. In one year, he lost 13 friends, most to gun crime. Huawei said there was no evidence he assumed his life would to support the ruling last month end in the same way, but he says the seed project by the federal communications has changed everything. Commission. It meant he could afford to take time off Work Training is not from washington, dc to interview for a better job. A lot of people out here, we dont have that question, is david simpson, a former official we dont have that time. At the fcc, very good afternoon to like we cant go without those couple of days without having you mrsimpson, an income coming in. At the fcc, very good afternoon to you mr simpson, thanks forjoining us. Its just easier to stick imean, us. I mean, essentially, what macron are where you are out and just be there, miserable, saying is that the fcc went beyond then it is to try to make that leap. The impact of this pilot its remit huawei, from accessing on the lives of those taking part goes way beyond financial stability. Government broadband funding if they we re government broadband funding if they were still using huaweis people ive spoken to say technology. Do you think huawei has they feel less lonely, a case here . Well thats the case they talk about feeling more connected to their families, their city. That huawei will make, that the action by the fcc was but seed is small, finite, and funded by a private grant. In theirterms, in their terms, capricious, in theirterms, capricious, and arbitrary, and that the so could it ever work on a potential of doing harm shouldnt be state wide or a nationwide scale . It comes down to the revenues means itself or reason itself to necessary to fund it. So, taking the Seed Programme abandon them from the market. But national at a fully universal rate for years, the us has been concerned costs about 3 trillion. About the increasing integration of thats more than we spent collectively in the United States the supply chain as we shift from on all of our social safety nets. Hardware to software to find universal basic income networks, and concerns about is extremely expensive, and money doesnt grow on trees. Huaweis success in the technologies but this old idea has new advocates, and its gaining momentum. That make up the market. In the we have seen from president ial United States the smallest of the candidates and others more Communication Service providers are of an emphasis on how to get our economy to work, and im hopeful that seed subsidized through something called will continue to play a role universal service fund, and these in pushing the conversation to its logical end, which would be some sort of income for everybody. So long, bbc news, dollars that are pulled from the stockton, california. Larger operators to bring Communication Service to rural areas and underserved populations, the fcc i think part of the reason for the has determined that they do have the popularity behind this idea, or the authority to condition acceptance of fa ct we popularity behind this idea, or the fact we are seeing this gaining a those federal funds with security renewed interest from economists and people like andrew yang it, the obligations. In this case, the democratic clinical candidate, is security obligation being not to use since the financial crisis, youve seen a huawei or other similarly concerning since the financial crisis, youve seen a rise in income inequality, that income it insecurity is really companies. Huawei will have an what is driving this. There is still argument that they dont have strong plenty of debate on whether it will evidence of specific harm, but there work, but it is fuelling andrew is plenty of evidence of potential yangs popularity, and hes pushing harm. Ha rd yangs popularity, and hes pushing hard on this idea. He has one policy and this isnt huaweis only push back, its not just and this isnt huaweis only push back, its notjust this case, they have been doing an astonishing proposal, where he gives ten amount of lobbying within the united American Families a month from his states and elsewhere to say, love, there is nothing to be afraid of here. Do you think theres any Campaign Money 1000 a month. But evidence that that lobbying is having an impact . I dont see can you really scale it up . Exactly, they tried this in finland for a couple years in 2017 18, and they evidence among Us Government entities that its having an impact gave a controlled group about 2000 here. I wanted to go back and pick people this basic income. They found that in the end, didnt make them up here. I wanted to go back and pick up on here. I wanted to go back and pick upona here. I wanted to go back and pick up on a point you were just talking happier . Yes, did it help them get about, that if firms or jobs . Not demonstrably. Isjust the organisations are receiving funds, then you have a right to kind of impose some sorts of conditions. Is there risk and all of this though way to tackle it . That is part of that there are going to be american the appeal of candidates like andrew Rural Communities that are left yang, but the appeal of candidates like Bernie Sanders and elizabeth essentially underserved if the alternative suppliers prove too warren to voters who feel that expensive or will push up the cost somehow the economy is not working for them, i think that is really at the very least. Yes, thats a what its underpinning the popularity of this. Significant concern. At the reality is that the huawei equipment is the artist behind the multi million pretty good equipment. In some cases dollar golden toilet in Blenheim Palace has better than the competition. And at revealed his latest work, and its a lot more what you might call prosaic. Its a humble banana much lower price points. So these underserved communities already have a very tough market case to make to gaffer taped to a wall. And two of them have already sold invest in to bring capabilities to for 120,000 each. Those consumers. And if those margins are negatively impacted, the final one is expected to sell for even more. Then there will need to be something to make that up, or we will have the bananas came from a miami grocery store, and the art work was put on display in a gallery them served. Yelled mcdavid simpson, in the city. Thank you very much indeed for its title is comedian but its joining us from washington, dc on unclear whether thejoke is on him or the people whove bought his art. That ongoing story. Some people are saying its not beginning to feel a lot like christmas every year, norway sends a christmas i thought i would have ago. I have tree to london as a thank you for britains wartime support. 0n my gaffer tape and this banana. I on that ongoing story. Just want to know how much you will pay for that . Look at that. Im very some people are saying its not beginning to feel a lot like christmas every year, norway sends a christmas impressed with how quickly you did tree to london as a thank you for britains wartime support. It. I went for the prepared one in but folks on twitter seem to be wondering if weve done something to upset them this year. Advance, going around the office and scrambling for a piece of fruit. Yes, heres this years tree some people are complaining its got sparse foliage nobody had a banana, there you go. A and an anaemic appearance. Is this fair . Little mandarin orange stuff i will the British Ambassador to norway has reminded people that this give you 2 for your orange. We can is what 90 year old trees in the wild look like. No doubt. Leave this for katya in christian. Youve got the sun behind it, maybe this banana it was actually touched its taken at a particularly bad by christian fraser, he went through time of the day. The fruit in his canteen for his but maybe the bigger question is what about preparation for the election the environment in all of this . Programme, which is why hes not so we did a little bit of research here tonight. So it is possible it on this end. I love this statistic. Was touched by a star like him or david attenborough. Is it going up a two metre tall cut in value now . I was going to say i Christmas Tree that ends up in landfill has the same carbon dont know. Does that increase or footprint as taking three return decrease its value . Do you think the flights from london to australia. Artist deliberately chose to have silver gaffer tape . Do you think they decided that would make it look more valuable . Can we look at that picture again . A bit more sparkle . Three . Exactly. To go from the golden three . Three of them. I wouldve never have thought that. I was but a real tree was better for the environment than toilet to the gaffer tape and the a plastic tree, but im curious. Banana. Idont when it ends up in a landfill, its toilet to the gaffer tape and the banana. I dont know what is behind that. But it reminds me of releasing methane gas, so its much better to burn it, the debate over paintings, when you counterintuitively. This is beyond 100 days from the bbc. See white pictures, white canvases. Coming up for viewers on the bbc there was always the debate of news channel and bbc world news whether that was art or not, but i there is worldwide surge in deadly guess that goes to the heart of this measles outbreaks and its showing no sign of slowing down question. Enough of the fruit, its we will find out what can be done not a good buy. But it is a thank to reverse the trend.
