Its seen as a vital marker for all us president s, 100 days in office. And as donald trump reaches that milestone, Tens Of Thousands of protesters are rallying in several us cities. This is washington, where one of those protests is taking place. Demonstrators made their way towards the White House Holding banners and voicing their concerns over his policies on the environment. Donald trump has previously called Climate Change a hoax. Here are the thoughts of some of those attending this protest. Iam from i am from upstate new york. I am here because this is the most important issue we have today, to ta ke important issue we have today, to take care of this earth we depend on for everything. If we dont take ca re of for everything. If we dont take care of it, we dont have anything. I want the next generations, the future generations, to be able to live on this planet without being contaminated by governments and corporations. In defence of our environment, for the climate, because we need to do it, and we believe it. Well, were expecting President Trump to speak in the next half hour or so. It will be from a rally for his supporters in harrisburg, which is the state capital of pennsylvania. That is a long way from washington. Here is what some of those waiting for him to arrive had to say the fa ct for him to arrive had to say the fact is he got in there and is doing what he is supposed to do. Especially yesterday in his speech from the nra, it was very important to me. I am from the nra, it was very important to me. Lama from the nra, it was very important to me. I am a huge from the nra, it was very important to me. Lam a huge reagan from the nra, it was very important to me. I am a huge reagan supporter. For him to do that, right up my alley. Also there is our correspondent, laura bicker. Interesting that the president is in pennsylvania on the 100th day of his presidency, just explain why thats significant. Pennsylvania was a crucial swing state. It was a state that helped him win the white house. He turned it into a republican state. When you hear people standing in line waiting to hear from donald hear people standing in line waiting to hearfrom donald trump, what they are telling us as they want their jobs back. This is a coal mining country, a business state. They feel that someone who is separate from politicians and politics that they see and believe is corrupt, they wa nt see and believe is corrupt, they want him to take charge and bring backjobs to pennsylvania. And that is one of the main reasons why people here voted for him. The interesting thing here is the contrast of two main events that will be taking place. This, tonight, is what is known as the white house correspondence dinner, it is an annual affair correspondence dinner, it is an annualaffair in correspondence dinner, it is an annual affair in washington. It is very, very glitzy. Usually the president will attend and give a speech. Double trouble be the first not to attend in decades. Donald trump. Instead, he will be on the podium behind me at addressing crowds of people, people he believes are his people. Absolutely. They are his supporters. Bite in washington and other places, there are protests. This has been an interesting 100 days for donald trump. Well, donald trump said the other day that there has been nothing like the last 100 days. On that, i think both his critics and his supporters will agree. Let us look back. You have had the russian controversy. Controversy over his attem pts controversy. Controversy over his atte m pts to controversy. Controversy over his attempts to issue a travel ban. Controversy over his attempt to repeal and replace 0bamacare. And, of course, he had the success in him appointing a supreme courtjudge. Many people in the queue that i spoke to mentioned that by name. When it comes to his failures, though, if you speak to his people, if you speak to his supporters, they say, and many of them, surprisingly, blamed republicans, not just democrats. They believe he is not getting the support he needs from the republican party. It will be interesting when it comes to the midterms next year, because republicans are starting the campaign when it comes to being re elected. Will they be re elected on Donald Trumps curtails, or will it be the opposite . Will they stand up it be the opposite . Will they stand up to him and that is held they will be elected. Some say they will not vote republican unless they back donald trump. That is what you expect to hear from a roomful of donald trump supporters. In terms of his 100 days, how was that being received across the United States . This is such a vast country that is very difficult to characterise how people feel. New, california, there have been protests springing up. New york. You heard earlierfrom Climate Change protesters that fear that he is signing away acts that president 0bama had tried to help the environment with, had tried to keep the paris Climate Change agreement on track, and had also tried to stop drilling in the arctic. With a stroke of a pen, donald trump got rid of all of that yesterday. And you have, when it comes to his supporters, perhaps, in the rust belt, they are patient and they are awaiting because they believe this president will come through for them. All will be, i suppose, revealed, at the end of this term, when he goes for real action. In pennsylvania, thank you very much, laura bicker.

Thats at bbc. Com news. Or go to the bbc news app. Lets go to brussels now. Here, the president of the European Commission has warned that many people in britain are underestimating the difficulties of brexit. Jean Claude Juncker was speaking after eu leaders unanimously agreed their Negotiating Position on britains departure from the union. From brussels, heres damian grammaticas. At the heart of the eu today, european leaders, 27 of them, now ready for brexit. Their offer to the uk, ready to go. Translation we all want a close and strong future relationship with the uk. Theres absolutely no question about it. But before discussing the future, we have to sort out our past. Michel barnier is the man tasked with enforcing the eus position. Everything ready for the uk negotiations . I think so. Depends on the uk. 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 eus red lines. It took the 27 just minutes to sign off on their negotiating guidelines. Theyre 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 dont 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 mays desire to talk about a future trade deal early on wont be entertained. First, the eu want to agree a guarantee of citizens 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 southern ireland. And the eu side believe even agreeing the first item on their list, citizens rights, wont be straightforward. Jean Claude Juncker says the eu is ready to give guarantees but he isnt 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 thats just one stumbling block. Money could be another before any talk About Trade Deals will start. Damian grammaticas, bbc news, russell is. Brussels. Chris morris is in brussels for us with the response from britain. David davis has said these talks will be tough at times. He is the minister for will be tough at times. He is the ministerfor brexit. Will be tough at times. He is the minister for brexit. They will be controversial. There will be people in the uk and the eu who will seek to undermine them. Britain has been surprised by how quickly the eu has come to this show of unity. There is definite concern in brussels, not just among eu officials, but among several member states, like a gap of expectation emerging about how the 27 countries of the remaining eu believes negotiations will go, and how quickly they can move forward, and the feeling in london. It was notable that donald tusk and Jean Claude Junker know that jean claudejunker know that during elections, people say things and their domestic audiences. But the fa ct, their domestic audiences. But the fact, for example, one of the most important initial issues, the rights of the citizens worry in the uk, and of the citizens worry in the uk, and of course, produces addisons elsewhere in the eu. Donald tusk said we are still waiting for a serious proposal on this. British citizens. Jean Claude Junker said we have a deal but britain probably wont sign it. They are where of the technical difficulties to be there isa technical difficulties to be there is a fear that this will move more slowly tha n is a fear that this will move more slowly than people are hoping. Chris morris reporting. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making making the news. In his first public speech after more than 20 years in exile, the veteran afghan warlord, gulbuddin hekmatyar, has called on the taliban to lay down their weapons. Known as the butcher of kabul for his attacks on the capital, he signed a peace deal with the Afghan Government in september. Speaking in eastern afghanistan, he urged militants to stop what he called the pointless war. A day of mourning has been declared in kyrgystan after at least 2a people died in a landslide following heavy rain. Nine children were among the dead in a village in the countrys 0sh region. The Kyrgyz President , Almazbeck Atambayev said people did not heed advice to leave the area when they were warned of the danger. Pope francis has called for International Mediation to ease escalating tensions between the United States and north korea. He said the situation had become too hot. He urged the United States and north korea to defuse their increasingly tense standoff and avert a potentially dangerous conflict. He also directly appealed to the United Nations to take a leading role in resolving the conflict. Translation these missiles in korea, it has been a year that they have been talking about it. But now it seems the issue has heated up too much. I always appeal for a solution through diplomatic means for the future of humanity. A more wide wall would destroy humanity. War. It would destroy humanity. War. It would destroy humanity. War. It would destroy the culture of everything. It would be terrible. Let us stop and find a diplomatic solution. I feel the united let us stop and find a diplomatic solution. Ifeel the United Nations have a duty to resume their leadership because it has become too watered down. Donald trump has accused officials there of disrespecting its closest ally china. Its after north korea test fired another ballistic missile, which reportedly exploded shortly after take off. Its the second failed launch in the past fortnight. Meanwhile, an american Aircraft Carrier has arrived in the region, after it was sent to the Korean Peninsula as part of mr trumps armada. Kevin rudd is the former Prime Minister of australia and he spoke to me a short while ago, i asked him about his view on President Trumps strategy on north korea. Donald trump wants to apply maximum pressure on china. China is the only one with effective diplomatic pressure on pyongyang at the moment because of north koreas dependency on the peoples republic of china. What President Trump is seeking to do, based on his discussions at murrah largo, is to keep the pressure on in the hope that beijing can actually bring about, through political pressure, a change in north korean behaviour. Mar a lago. North korean behaviour. Maralago. Do you think that strategy is going to work . M maralago. Do you think that strategy is going to work . It is too early to tell. This has not been tried with this level of focus before. China, as most people are aware, has been reluctant to deploy at this level of political or a diplomatic leverage in the past, not because of historical relationship reasons going back to the korean war and the relationship with korea, but because china has often been plain about the fact that it does not want to see a group on the peninsula and the collapse of the regime and it does not want to see any american troops one day landing in what would then be a vacated territory in the north. This is, therefore, a very complicated and multilayered situation. In what sense is china going to play ball . We dont know. There are divided opinions in beijing on this question. And frankly, for any government, this would be a very hard coal. 0n the one hand, they dont want the Nuclear Proliferation on the Korean Peninsula. They do wantjapan or south korea having their own retaliatory deterrent. They also wa nt retaliatory deterrent. They also want a stop to Us Nuclear Deterrence long term. They have caution about the great unknown is which flow from putting pressure on pyongyang. Do you see the regime of kim jong un fall, just him . Replacing him with someone they are less familiar with . This is a divided debate in beijing at the moment. The call politics in china and diplomacy lies there as far as President Trump is concerned. Core. Far as President Trump is concerned. Core. Kevin rudd, the former Prime Minister of australia, speaking to me there. Stay with us on bbc world news.
