Need to employ thousands of Foreign Workers to pick fruit and vegetables next year despite the pick for Britain Campaign to recruit more people from the uk. The National Farmers union says this summer only 11 of the workforce were uk residents and the government needs to do more to help the industry after brexit. Jon kay reports. Its cold and early. But in the cotswolds, they are hard at work. This farm advertised for more british pumpkin pickers this year, but everyone here is from romania. Were quite happy to have british workers, we will invest in them in their training and being able to do thejob, but theyjust dont come and apply for the jobs. Theyjust dont come down the road. Is there more you could do as an industry, in terms of pay or conditions, that might attract more . Well, a lot of the work we do is on bonus, so its above minimum wage. Im not really sure what we could do. Pick fruit, pick veg. This government backed campaign aimed to recruit thousands of home grown workers this summer to pick for britain, to fill any gaps caused by the pandemic and brexit. According to the National Farmers union, the number of uk residents doing seasonal jobs did increase, but they still only made up 11 of the total workforce. One of the uks biggest recruiting agencies told us they had had tens of thousands of brits apply for picking work, but only 1 of them stayed the course. Its hard, physical labour. This recruiter says the government urgently needs to find a solution for next years harvest. Both covid and brexit, we have a potential armageddon in the industry, and fruit being left in fields, and then thats not what anyone wants to see. Ministers say they are working hard on a new immigration system to benefit the industry long term. With unemployment rising, there could be more domestic interest in this kind of work next year. In the meantime, the politics are getting more intense. Some farmers have told us that if they cant get the labour they need in future, theyll just stop growing things like pumpkins, peas and beans, that require lots of people, and instead, they will harvest wheat and barley mechanically. So they say this could change not only what we farm in britain, but also what we eat. Jon kay, bbc news, in the cotswolds. Now on bbc news his election to the presidency, decided by fewer than 80,000 votes, was the biggest political upset of a generation. Four years on, Donald Trumps impact has been seismic. I, Donald John Trump do solemnly swear. That i will faithfully execute. The office of president of the United States. Within the first 2a hours of taking the solemn oath of office, it became clear that donald trump would change the presidency more than the presidency would change him. There was the dystopian language of his inaugural address. This american carnage stops right here and stops right now. There was the argument about the size of the inaugural crowd. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe. The press secretary gave alternative facts to that. Alternative facts are not facts. They are falsehoods. The president and first lady of the United States will take their first dance. There was the music at his inaugural ball. Frank sinatras i did it my way. And his decision to keep using twitter. Should i keep twitter going or not . Keep it going . Cheering. I think so. Then, there was the appearance before the Memorial Wall at cia headquarters, where he tore into the press. The start of what came to be a running battle. The reason you are my first stop is that, as you know, i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. Donald trump was written off as a joke when he first announced his candidacy for the white house. Now, he has become americas 45th president. They will be talking about this moment for centuries to come. This America First president would be an american first. Chanting hey, hey, ho, ho donald trump, has got to go. The first mass protest at the trump era took place less than 2a hours after his swearing in, a pink blossoming of the trump resistance. The womens march provided an early indication of the passions his presidency would arouse and the divisions it would expose. It gives me hope for our future. It was a really dark day when the Election Results came in. Its not that we hate trump, but we hate what he stands for. Bigotry and racism, we arent going to stand for that. Say it loud, say it clear. Refugees are welcome here. Donald trumps attempts to enforce a travel ban on a list of mainly muslim countries, including iran and syria, once again brought protesters out on to the streets. A policy that the Trump Administration claimed would defend america was seen by opponents as an attack on american values. Build a wall Donald Trumps efforts to build a wall along the mexican border, a totem of his presidency. It exposed more fault lines in american society. He campaigned on it. He won on it. Whats the big deal . Why is everybody surprised . We need it, we need it now. Go back to your homes. He is a crisis. He is a crisis to our country and our democracy. He thinks he is a king. Race exposed yet another rift. When torch carrying neo nazis paraded in charlottesville, virginia, it took the president 48 hours to specifically condemn these White Supremacists. When a counter protester was killed after a racist deliberately rammed his car into the crowd, the president claimed there was a moral equivalence between White Supremacists and the demonstrators who oppose them. I was present in trump tower for what became one of the most extraordinary press conferences i have witnessed. I do think there is blame, yes, i think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides, i think there is blame on both sides, and i have no doubt about it and you dont have any doubt about it either. But trump was beloved by his base. I love you and you love me and thats the way it is. Those who packed his stadium rallies, a dramatic new departure for a us president. Those who had centred to washington precisely because they wanted him to be unconventional. We will be talking about this for a long time. All the time, he was amassing a significant record of conservative accomplishments. He passed a big tax cut. He renegotiated the nafta trade agreement with canada and mexico. The workers who poured their souls into building this great nation were betrayed. But that betrayal is now over. I will never forget that to whom much is given, much will be expected. He managed to get three right Wing Supreme Court justices on to the bench. And to appoint hundreds of conservative judges. Promise made, promise kept, was a trump post that rang true. So, we are getting out. Taking america out of the paris Climate Change agreement was another Campaign Pledge that he made real. And another crowd pleaser for his base. But his own Luxury Property at mar a lago risks being inundated by the rising waters. Further down the florida coast, miami is at risk of becoming a modern day atlantis. Miami beach is going to disappear, but dont tell that to all these people building all these new houses and apartments. They dont want to hear it. They are in total denial. A local environmentalist, dan kipnis, gave us a waterborne tour. 0ur so called president thinks its a hoax, its a chinese hoax. I mean, i cant believe it. I live right in the middle of Climate Change every day. We are so affected here. How dare the leader of this great country say that it doesnt exist . Its impossible, he cant be thinking this way. The people around him cannot be thinking this way. But returning to the all importa nt rust belt, people who had supported him reported an uptick in economic activity. Partly because there were a lot more coal barges on the ohio river. This billionaire in the white house remained a working class hero in the post industrial landscape that had provided a seedbed for his candidacy. Tugboat owner bob harrison was happy to have a businessman in the white house. It was like a switch was turned on. We were busy. We have more stuff going on, our business has dramatically picked up. And you think that is the trump effect . Yes. I talk to different people, we call it the trump bump and that, so its been good for us. In the bible belt too, evangelicals who had overwhelmingly supported his candidacy seem to have little problem with his highly unorthodox behaviour. They saw in donald trump a fellow victim of liberal sneering. Of elite condescension. We like somebody who says whats on their mind, speak whatever it is you want to say and say it as plain spoken as you can. I dont agree with some of the words he uses, but he is doing more than any other president has done in the past. Do you think is one of the truly great president s . I really do. We happened to be at Mount Rushmore on the day the president suggested his profile should be chiselled into the rock. There we encountered a number of Trump Supporters now experiencing buyers remorse. He was the right guy at the time to shake things up and move things forward, but he is causing too much chaos and not bringing enough order to the government. I think his ego is getting in the way so im hoping hes going to take a step back. I dont think he has been as president ial as i ideally would want. Never have we witnessed a us leader who so flagrantly flouted the normal rules of president ial behaviour. Hey, im president can you believe it . Horn beeps. I never thought i would be called a politician, i dont like it, but it is what it is. Though it is twitter trump that has inevitably generated many of the headlines, it was the televisual possibilities of the presidency that seemed to animate donald trump the most. Not long after taking office, he instructed aides to treat every day as if it were an episode of a tv show in which he vanquished the opponents of his presidency. Television cameras often became flies on the walls, a style he actively encouraged. Here the cameras were invited to linger at a cabinet meeting, where officials delivered a hymn of praise. Its a privilege to serve. I cant thank you enough for the privilege you have given me. I want to thank you for getting this country moving. I am thrilled to have a chance to help you live up to your Campaign Promises. Mr president , we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing you have given us to serve your agenda. To some, the footage resembled state television, a pyongyang on the potomac moment. Thank you very much. This is a battle between good and evil. Foreign policy regularly took the form of made for Television Show diplomacy. On his First International visit, a stop in saudi arabia, he happily participated in a bizarre ceremony that looked like a cross between a mystical ritual and the draw to decide on the group tables ahead of the fifa world cup. His summitry with north korea was intricately choreographed for the cameras, but failed to denuclearise the korean peninsula. Some of the more cinematic moments of his presidency, such as when he met the plane carrying three korean american Prisoners Released by pyongyang, were packaged into what looked like movie trailers. It was the commander in chief as action hero. Even when events went completely off the rails, such as when kanye west made a visit to the oval office. Im political. No. Bleep. Put the bleep on, however you want to do it. Five second delay, it is good energy. He didnt seem to mind, as long as they produced good television. He can speak for me any time he wants. He is a smart cookie. Donald trump also had an eye for the grand spectacular. This is pageant at the Lincoln Memorial onjuly the 4th in 2019. Americas birthday turned into something of a personal celebration. Make America Great again as a military tattoo. But some of the images that clung to his presidency were politically problematic. The wire mesh cages in the detention centres on the southern border where children were separated from theirfamilies. Let the children go now its unacceptable. It is evil, its disgusting and its an embarrassment to the United States. This is a moral catastrophe. We are breaking up families and it has to stop now. This was the footage of him casually tossing toilet rolls to survivors of Hurricane Maria in puerto rico, as if shooting basketball hoops. Another memorable image was the sight of him barging his way to the front of the family photo at nato headquarters in brussels. The president s controversial words also sometimes came back to haunt him. The time at this rally in florida when he seemed to encourage supporters to take matters into their own hands, after asking how to stop unauthorised migrants from coming over the borderfrom mexico. But how do you stop these people . You cant. Thats only in the panhandle you can get away with that stuff. Months later, one of his supporters mounted a deadly attack in el paso, targeting mexican immigrants in one of americas deadliest mass shootings. 23 people were killed. From the fbi over the last two years, a number of their investigations are racially motivated and within that category, the majority are white supremacist extremist motivated. Then there was the racist language he used against four congresswomen of colour, telling them to go back ti where he came from. Even though three of them were born in the United States. There is no bottom to the barrel of vitriol that will be used and weaponised to stifle those who want to advance rights for all people in the United States. What did you think when you heard the tweet . This is a distraction. This is a person who really wants to vilify and demonise immigrants and even communities of colour. As this race row flared, he took aim at them again at a stadium rally in north carolina. And tonight i have a suggestion for the hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down, they never have anything good to say. Thats why i say, hey, if they dont like it, let them leave. The chants of send her back brought a rare rebuke from Senior Republicans who felt the president had gone too far. I was on the National Mall that night, filming the commemorations to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Lift off, we have lift off. At that very moment the country was celebrating a unifying national mission, detached from earthly politics, the president was actively sowing the seeds of american disunion. All the time there had been a cloud hanging over his presidency, an investigation led by the former fbi director robert muller, into whether the Trump Campaign had colluded with the kremlin ahead of the 2016 election. The probe resulted in a spate of prosecutions. Traitor . Of Donald Trumps former Campaign Manager who was found guilty of multiple charges including conspiracy against the United States. Cheering. Of his long time political adviser roger stone who was convicted of witness tampering and lying to congress. When he delivered his long awaited report, mueller found that the russian meddling had been sweeping and systematic, and identified links between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the kremlin. Its a witchhunt. Witchhunt. Fake news and the russian witchhunt. Weve got a whole big combination. But it did not find sufficient evidence that the campaign coordinated and conspired with the russian government. The white house claimed victory, but Robert Mueller made it clear this wasnt an exoneration. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commita crime. Under long Standing Department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. When evidence emerged of a quid pro quo between donald trump and the president of ukraine, linking us military aid to political dirt on the family ofjoe biden, the democrats decided to punish him. In the 2018 congressional midterms, they had won back the house of representatives and used their majority to impeach the president. Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to ourfounders, and a heart full of love for america, today, i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. Only the third time it has happened in us history. Breaking news. There was a trial in the senate where the republicans used their majority to block the calling of witnesses and to deliver a not guilty verdict. It is therefore ordered and adjudged that the said Donald John Trump be and is hereby acquitted of the charges in said articles. It felt like the Republican Party was more like the trump party. The party line votes spoke of the polarisation of america and the toxicity of washington. It came to the toxic fore when, on the eve of his acquittal, donald trump delivered his state of the union address. Beforehand, he refused to shake the hand of the Democratic House speaker, nancy pelosi. Afterwards, she ripped up his speech. It was hard to remember a president who walked away from more political car crashes and his Approval Rating reached its highest level, 49 . He could also point to some Foreign Policy successes. The threat from the Group Calling itself isis was greatly diminished. Hed kept his Campaign Promise of moving the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. Us forces killed the Iranian Military general qasem soleimani, irans second most powerfulfigure. Donald trump had a Strong Economy and the power of incumbency. Two factors that usually win a president four more years. I am officially declaring a national emergency. But a far bigger crisis was about to engulf his presidency. The coronavirus confronted america with the biggest Public Health emergency of the past hundred years. And exposed so many of the countrys underlying conditions. Its income and racial inequalities, the inadequacies of its health system. The rundown of its government, and its sickly politics. The polarisation that even made mask wearing a political issue. Can you take it off . Because i cant hear you. I willjust speak louder, sir. Ok, because you want to be politically correct, go ahead. When the country needed to come together, donald trump remained a deeply divisive figure. Sometimes, he was accused of being a super spreader of misinformation. It looks like by april, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope thats true. Now we have tested almost a0 million people. By so doing, we show cases. 99 of which are totally harmless. I think we are rounding the turn very much, you see what is happening in europe, they have a very big spike. The Health Crisis sparked the worst economic crisis since the great depression. There was a buddy, spare me a dime feel to aspects of american life. Even in the affluent suburbs, we saw scenes of middle class distress. Cars queueing for hours to get hand outs. Vehicles including mercedes and high end suvs. The problem is that people have gone now without four, five or six or seven paycheques and its starting to catch up. We have to pay the rent, gas, cars and other stuff. You have a beautiful car, did you ever imagine that you would be lining up for food . No, never. So you are not making any money at the moment . No. So you need this food . Yes, we need it. Then, in the midst of the pandemic, a video went viral. It showed a black man, george floyd, being suffocated by a white police officer. Across america, fury broke lose. And during the black lives matter summer that followed, we witnessed the most widespread racial turbulence since the late 1960s. Donald trumps main response was to crack down on protesters and present himself as a law and order president. America seemed to be unravelling. And a leader who so often had sown the seeds of racial disunion faced a destructive harvest. As the election neared, donald trump faced a personal crisis. He himself had become infected with covid 19. Facing difficulties breathing, he decided to leave the white house and get medevacked to hospital. But as his condition improved, he eyed the televisual possibilities of the moment. He summoned the president ial motorcade and drove past his supporters maintaining a vigil outside the hospital. But this was merely a curtain raiser. Donald trump had a more dramatic finale in mind. A homecoming that provided perhaps the defining images of his presidency. To his fans, it looked like the happy ending of a movie. To his critics, it looked like a scene from a comic opera. National saviour or nationaljoke . A polarising american president for these polarised american times. This hello there. Its going to remain very unsettled for the rest of this week thanks to areas of low pressure which will bring spells of rain and gales at times. Today also very unsettled. Weve got sunshine and blustery showers, these heavy and thundery across western and southern areas. All tied in with this area of low pressure which actually contains the remnants of what was hurricane epsilon. Some extremely strong winds on its southern flank racing across the north atlantic and that is generating some very big waves today across some western coastlines. You could even see some disruption to the Ferry Services for western scotland at times. And if you are walking out near the coastline in the west, just take extra care. Now, lots of showers will be affecting many western portions of the uk. Some merging together to produce longer spells of rain for parts of wales, central and southern england though some brighter echoes indicating some hail and thunder mixed in to some of the heaviest of the showers. The best chance of seeing the lengthier sunny spells will be across the eastern parts of england but it will be a cooler day today than we what had yesterday, 10 13 celsius. The showers continue on for a while during wednesday night but then they begin to fade away. The skies clear and it turns a bit chilly in the far north and east, but further west, temperatures begin to rise with the next weather system arriving, bringing more wet and windy weather. You can see it here on the pressure chart racing up from the south west, lots of isobars on the chart. So, its going to turn very windy once again. So, wet for southern and Western Areas to start thursday, dry and bright in the north. The rain will eventually reach much of scotland, all but the northern isles. Behind it, it will tend to turn a little bit drier, perhaps a little bit brighter but it will be windy. You will notice milder airgetting in the mid teens celsius here. 11 degrees across the north of scotland. Thursday night will remain very windy and mild, and it will stay wet across northern and Western Areas. In fact, rainfall totals really starting to mount up across parts of western scotland, northern and western england, and wales where we could see some minorflooding by the end of friday. It starts to brighten up for scotland and Northern Ireland into the afternoon, and we could see some brighter spells across the south east. And given that very mild air mass, we could see 18 or 19 degrees across the south and east. As we head on into the weekend, more low pressure systems racing off the atlantic, some very deep ones here which could bring a spell of gales or even severe gales in places.
