Reporting from washington, i am tim willcox. With the stroke of a pen, President Trump dismantles efforts to combat claim on tacoma Climate Change. Fleeing the violence of in most so. Iraqi citizens search for any layout as they find themselves increasingly in the line of fire searching for any way out. And new feathers in the cap for native american fashion. A new exhibition celebrates the contemporary look with style. Tim hello. Welcome to our viewers in america and around the globe. President trump declared a new era as he dismantled many of the previous administrations efforts to combat Climate Change. The white house says the new measures will revive the coal industry and create jobs, promises throughout trumps president ial run. One place they were cheering was in pennsylvania, coal country, a region that helped deliver the white house for President Trump. The coal mine closed more than one year ago. Hundreds of wellpaid miners were laidoff. Blamed the policies of the last government. Losing their houses, it is a big impact. Is we have been mining this country for 200 years. We need to go back to work. Do you think it will happen . Yes. 70 in a traditionally democratic county voted trump. That he would reverse Obama Policies to bring back mining jobs was key. Said he wasama introducing the regulations to curb the reliance on coal because of concerns over Climate Change. Dismissiveents attitude towards Global Warming is alarming environmentalists. His promise to reopen coal mines is one part of that. Stop offering new government leases for coal mines, donald trump will cut funding for the Environmental Protection the by one third. The man he appointed to head the Organization Says he is not even sure human activity affects Climate Change. Is this going to bring back jobs . Said many times we are going to bring back coal. Likelihood of this county. A lot of people, a lot of my friends. They believed it. , personally, dont i dont know how you bring back coal. Many mines shut down because of economics. There were cheaper ways of producing energy. If the jobs dont return, people might one day feel all that happened was a distraction from modernizing american industry and a devastating setback in the fight against Climate Change. Bbc news, waynesburg , pennsylvania. Tim i spoke with the National Correspondent for the help. After the problems with health care, this was another campaign pledge. Is that the symbolism of what he has done . It is something the president is able to do quickly in the face of a significant defeat over the weekend. This is something republicans have been talking about for a long time. Republicans pitched this is the war on coal. Areaditionally democratic of appalachia, states like kentucky and West Virginia flipped from democratic control to republican. Tim what are the democrats saying as a broader party . Climate change and Renewable Energy. It is not lost on many people that there are billions of dollars to be made in cleanenergy jobs and in states like washington, oregon, california, even states like new york, taking aggressive steps into the Renewable Energy space because that is where the jobs are going to be next. Tim as china has done. Reid definitely. Everything from Solar Project to hydro projects to wind projects off of long island, democrats see this as their economic message of the future. To counter the war on coal. Tim we saw in a piece that they key to this is job creation, and how long he will be given to produce these jobs. Reid these jobs are probably not coming back. It is not just the fact that we are relying more and more on Renewable Energy. It is technological advances mechanization of these coal mines. The jobs are not going to come back quickly, and even if they were to come back over the longterm, they are limited by the coals natural lifespan. Tim when are the challenges going to come . Presumably there are big Climate Change bodies that will challenge this but does that play into the president s hands . The longer these challenges go on for, the more decisive he can be. Reid democrats believe that the longer they can tie this up in court, the more options they the u. S. Will have in the future, whether the next couple of years or 4 years later if theyre able to beat President Trump for reelection. There are state democratic attorneys general exploring the legal options, led by the new York Attorney general, California Attorney general. Both of them said today they are exploring what they can do in the near future. Tim we have a new head of the epa, scott pruitt, a man who used to challenge the organization he is now running. Will be quite a strong reid right, and he is one of trumps stronger appointees because he knows the agency he is running so very well because he spent so long suing them as the attorney general of oklahoma. What were seeing is a giant reversal from a time when republican states were suing the Obama Administration to stop these rules. Now we have democratic states suing the Trump Administration to preserve them as long as possible. Tim thanks very much indeed. From american politics to british politics. Prime minister theresa may has just signed the letter that formally announces britains plan to leave the european union, article 50. It will be delivered by hand on wednesday to the european brussels. Esident in it starts the new chapter in u. K. European relations. You are watching bbc world news america. The top u. S. Military commander in iraq has acknowledged the United States was probably involved in an explosion in western mosul that killed many civilians this month. General townsend said fighters from the socalled Islamic State may have put innocent people the liver elite in harms way. An investigation is being cared carried out. On the front line with the civilians still trying to flee the city. When their identities were checked they were able to leave the war zone. It was first light, and the children were hungry, tired, and bewildered. They had been waiting to be processed since they moved from i. S. Controlled mosul around 11 00 last night. Everyone was exhausted. This woman wanted to escape with her husband and four children. It was hell. Daesh are war criminals. They are not muslims. Some connect them to islam. Jeremy but she said the shelling and air strikes were not justifiable. They spent the last day at home bearing neighbors, family, and burying last day at home burying neighbors, family, and friends recovered from the rubble. In the last one if i was, 2000 people in the last 24 hours, 2000 people have used this road alone to escape. A quarter of a million have fled in the last five weeks. At least they got out. Others are kept as human shields. Mosul is being broken by war to smash the ambition of Islamic State. We drove through streets take it taken back from i. S. In the last few days. The jihadists seized mosul in 2014, posing as the liberators of sunni muslims. Instead, they imposed a nightmare. And tried to end it he was 50 meters from an i. S. Sniper. It was a fierce battle. They went from house to house. The enemy is very aggressive, using car bombs. Jeremy fighting in a buildup area is the toughest job soldier can do. Casualties are inevitable. Mosul is a big city, which makes it worse. Both sides are moving along passages knocked through walls, because open ground is dangerous. Through homes whose owners left in a hurry. Dresses still hung in a cupboard. The command center was in the living room. The fighting has become room to room, not house to house. They are surrounded. Either they fight or surrender. Jeremy they are not surrendering. It is closequarter combat. He had 2 hand grenades ready. Could heavy airstrikes help them . They are politically difficult, especially now that the american s say their coalition probably killed at least 150 civilians. This fight is every bit as hard , and slow, and difficult as was predicted. But these soldiers seem capable, and they are pushing forward, they are determined. Their enemies are around 20 meters away. Are french saudis, mainly french and saudis. We find their identity cards. Jeremy and now civilians when they can queue for handouts. On this street, they said it is better than when jihadists came here to build the caliphate, to start a war to supersede islamic countries. And iraqis absorb more pain. Bowen reporting. In u. S. Fierce fight congress. It is not the health or tax policy, it is about whether the republican chair of the House Intelligence Committee should recuse himself from an investigation into russian interference in the election. To a formerspoke u. S. Ambassador to nato. How much International Concern is there between the white house and russia . There is concern in the United States, nato, europe. Is the greatest adversary. If there was russian interference in our election, there has to be an investigation. If the Trump Campaign had nefarious contact with the russian government, i dont know if that is the case, but if they did that ought to be investigated. Tim a lot of nato countries has said there is russian involvement in their individual countries, what do you think of that . It has been a concern of the Macron Campaign in france. Marine le pen has been meeting putin in moscow. Had the same concerns. I agree with our government that the russians did interfere with we American Election or to have to investigate and make sure it doesnt happen again. Tim he has been a very busy man. How unusual is that given his connections . It is unusual. You would think that during a campaign the trump people would be reaching out to our allies, but why so many contacts with russia . Tim is there enough transparency . I dont believe so. I am in favor of a Bipartisan Committee to investigate the allegations about the russians. The republican chairman seems to be more loyal to the Trump Administration than the investigation. Most americans would say that we should have a Bipartisan Commission to look at this. The closest person to the president , his soninlaw, will give evidence. How important is it that it is given in public . To paraphrase churchill, it might be the end of the beginning. We dont know the extent to which the campaign may have been in collusion with the russian government. It has not been proven. We do know that the russians worked very hard to interfere in our election. It is a great challenge to our democracy. Should be put aside and an investigation should ensue. Tim one of the key ones is a business relationship with that country. How much simpler would it be if the white house published Donald Trumps tax returns . I just testified before congress on foreign affairs. I was asked this question, and i said of course donald trump should release his tax returns. There cannot be a cloud hanging over our president , that the president has not been transparent. 30 the budget proposal, a reduction in state department funding. What impact will that have . A 30 cut would be devastating to career diplomats. These are small Government Agencies that rely on people to make them work. You would have to cut hundreds of thousands of people. It would be a disaster for the United States and our foreign policy. Tim foreign ambassador to nato speaking to me on capitol hill. You are watching bbc world news america.

An exhibition at the National Museum of the American Indian in new york reveals how native americans today are developing their own contemporary look in changing the way we think about style and identity. Jane obrien reports. Jane from couture just read wearo streetwear, day to costume, it is almost impossible to design native fashion, but that is hardly surprising. After all, each tribe is a nation with its own identity and culture, and there are hundreds of artists working across the vast american continent. They are all doing their own thing. What is the artist trying to do here . These are not clothes i would wear. These dresses are really an expression of the creation story, the connection to the stars. She has chosen this mylar. I dont believe they are really meant necessarily to be worn, because the material. They are really a statement an explosion of these ideas. This one, by contrast, you could wear. It is a dress by bethany yellowtail. It is created in a very contemporary fashion. But it also has this line of faux elk teeth that run across the arms and over the chest. It is in direct reference to her heritage, and the dresses that historically were worn by the women covered in these dresses. Jane even when the cultural references are obvious, these clothes are anything but traditional, although that was the inspiration for a member of the navajo tribe who learned to sew as a child. Everyone had a traditional garment in the closet that they brought out for ceremonies and events. I started saying, you know, those are good lines and wonderful colors. What if i did something that you could wear to work and where out and wear out to dinner and not just be associated with an indian gathering . Jane the result includes this garment based on the native blanket dress. The style is frequently worn by young navajo women at graduation and other important events. What this exhibition demonstrates most profoundly is the independence of native designers. Their clothes are no longer solely the source of inspiration for others. They are themselves changing concepts of style and identity. Jane obrien bbc news, new york. Worth a look if you are around. That story and others are on the website.
