As a huge winter storm sweeps in, bringing heavy snow. And reliving every parents nightmare Professor Robert kelly tells us what lifes been like since his interview, and his family, went viral. Its been pretty unreal. We didnt expect any attention like this at all. We certainly never had anything like this in our life. That hello i am katty kay in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. Next month turkey will hold a referendum on changes to its constitution that would grant Recep Tayyip Erdogan vast new powers. If he wins the vote, the position of Prime Minister will be abolished in favour of a new Executive Presidency that would be mr erdogan himself. Polls suggest turks are evenly divided on the issue. To win, mr erdogan might need the support of the millions of turks who live in countries across europe and can vote in the referendum. On sunday the dutch government, stopped turkish ministers from campaigning in rotterdam. German states have taken similar action. In response mr erdogan labelled the dutch nazis and blocked the return of the dutch ambassador. Now hes gone further still. Today mr erdogan invoked the Srebrenica Massacre when, in 1995, 110 dutch peacekeepers failed to stop the killing of thousands of muslim men and boys. Translation my dearfriends,. We know The Netherlands and the dutch people from the Srebrenica Massacre. We know how rotten their character is from their massacre of 8,000 bosnians there. We know this very well. In the past few hours ourcolleaoue from the dutch Prime Minister mark rutte. I have to say that what he said today about srebrenica is completely unacceptable and a rewriting of history. ;. 1;. ;; ; if. Ii ll . Izg hour by hour and i want him to tone down and to calm down. This is not helping at all and i is an acceptable. He said that people in The Netherlands should vote in the interest of turkey. People in {herinterest cat turkey. Peoplem netherlands should vote in the The Netherlands should vote in the interest of The Netherlands. The netherlands is a very proud people and country too. What is the president playing at . Its an extraordinary escalation of inflammatory rhetoric which is designed for domestic purposes exclusively to rally his nationalist voter base who love this sort of thing. Their strongman president standing up to europe and presenting turkey as a victim of oppression from europe. That the europeans is giving Turkey Lessons On Freedom Of Speech when actually they are abusing human rights and dispersing turkish protesters in a very violent way. It is really something that is designed for this half of the country that supports president erdogan. This pro government newspaper today used a play on words, not very subtly, to talk about how mark rutte is a dog. That is very much taking the message literally. Another pro government paper talking about how a simple apology is not enough from The Netherlands. Hammering home this idea that turkey has the moral high ground here. This secular newspaper says thanks to germany and hollands actions, the yes campaign in the referendum held in foreign half weeks time about boosting president erdogans powers will get two points more because people are really rallying behind his side on this issue. In the much more pro european side of the country, they are recalling in horror at the way turkey is calling out nato alleys in this way. Nato allies. Turkey is calling out nato alleys in this way. Nato allies. Letsjust move it away from the row for a second and focus on this referendum. How much power is it going to vest in president erdogan if he wins . Nothing short of the biggest political shake up since nothing short of the biggest political sha ke up since turkey nothing short of the biggest political shake up since turkey has had since the foundation of the independent nation in 1923. It would change from a Prime Ministerial to a president ial republic. He would have vastly enhanced powers. He would be head of the executive as well as head of the executive as well as head of the executive as well as head of state. He would be able to elect laws by decree, pointjudges, prepare the budget and it would give him much bigger powers. He says that parliament would have greater oversight of the president and would be able to answer more to the parliament but this is very much the climax of his career. He is going guns blazing for this referendum and this whole campaign with europe is designed to that effect. Thanks very much. What is this row doing for mark ruttes chances . According to polls this afternoon, it seems to be doing him good. He is performing better in the polls today than he has done for months. Some people in The Netherlands had suggested that it would be in his interest to let the iow would be in his interest to let the row escalates but that argument has evaporated today. People today have been so offended and so by what president erdogan has said, he spoke about state terror, he made reference to the Srebrenica Massacre, he called this country a ba na na massacre, he called this country a banana republic. He has succeeded in unifying all politicians behind mark mark rutte and saying he is right to reply in the way that he did. Why does all this matter so much . It matters because turkey is so crucially important to east west relations. Geographically it is, of course, one of the largest landmasses separating europe and the middle east. And since 2011 turkey has been heavily involved in the conflict in neighbouring syria. They have been pushing back is from their southern border. Last month Syrian Rebels backed by turkey took back the northern syrian town of al bab from is. There are complicating factors the Turkish Forces have also been attacking kurdish fighters who are armed and supported by us special forces. And recently they have cooperated with the russia military, who do support the syrian president. On top of all that turkey is a hugely important partner in helping europe deal with the migrant crisis. They have taken in just under three Million People who have escaped the fighting in syria, many of them trying to get to europe. The deal the eu struck with turkey last year led to a sharp fall in the numbers making that perilous journey by sea to greece. In return for that better policing, turkey received a big cash hand out and some political concessions as well. With me now is the former Us Ambassador to turkey and baghdad james jeffrey. When you listen to what president erdogan has been saying, is he acting increasingly irrational, is it politics, what is going on . It has gone very bad, very fast. This is the erdogan i know from 2008 10. He exploits situations to advance his political agenda. This is working on the ground in what Will Bea Working On The Ground in what will be a tight referendum for him. The dutch Prime Minister mark rutte is happy about this because his numbers are going up at the expense of Geert Wilders who erdogan doesnt want to see win. Both sides are actually benefiting from this. What does it do to turkeys chances of one day joining the European Union . People are not going to forget the things he has said to germany and holland over the last couple of days . M he has said to germany and holland over the last couple of days . It is going to further diminish what most people think is a slim chance that turkey would become part of the European Union . Is it basically giving up on the ambition to join the European Union . Turkey has a greatly beneficial customs union, 1 million dutch tourists and 22 billion investment alone that they dont want to give up. Turkey doesnt want to give up the idea that it doesnt want to give up the idea thatitis doesnt want to give up the idea that it is a European Union so it will maintain the charade of wanting membership into the future. We have spoken a lot about the situation of the State Department and the fact that Rex Tillerson doesnt have a deputy of the staff to get to grips with the problems he needs to get to grips with. Is this that in normal times the americans would be able to do something about . Would they be able to if Rex Tillerson had staff in place . Where did the United States wa nts in place . Where did the United States wants to intervene in this, given the fact that we are on the ground ina given the fact that we are on the ground in a very confused situation in northern syria, i dont think so. I think the us will step out of it. Rex tillerson and his acting deputy tom shannon are more than capable of acting effectively on Something Like this with or without the agreed pathetic situation of staffing in the State Department. So i suppose it is less of a concern, this row that might blow over, more of concern is where president erdogan is taking the country and how u nsta ble is taking the country and how unstable it might become in the future. We are worried about that. Roughly half the population want to see him sees these powers. This is not democratic. I thought, French Fifth Republic and the american constitution, we have had some experience of this, however, in the hands of someone who may not respect democracy as much as we might hear in america, that can be very problematic and people in washington are very worried about where president erdogan is taking the country, for sure. We are taking some time looking at populist leaders and their characters and policies. Are you suggesting that people are looking at President Trump and saying he is copying the style of people president erdogan. People who have spoken to him say he has the ability to act rationally but some of those with nationalist ideals and played to a Populist Audience who can beat thin skinned and it back at critics in a way that it seems president erdogan is doing in language that might be outrageous but plays to their base. Is that a characteristic of populist leaders in this day and age . I wonder. We will move on and talk about health care. Weve suggested before on this programme that the Trump Presidency represents a test for populist movements today that test hit a hurdle, in the form of hard data on health care reform. Governing, it seems, is a lot harder than campaigning. Mr trumps promise to repeal and replace 0bamacare has bumped up against the cold reality of a study from the non partisan Congressional Budget Office showing the Republicans Health plan would hurt lots of poor americans. The report estimates 1a Million People will become uninsured by next year under this new plan. Rising to 2a Million People over the coming decade. Though that will create savings of 337 Billion Dollars over ten years. Rajini vaidyanathan has been taking a closer look at how americans could be affected. This woman has made it on her own in the way of work. She and her husband own a smalljewellery business. Being self employed, they dont have a boss to Cover Health Care insurance. They struggle to pay medical bills until president 0bama introduced his health care law. When the Affordable Health care act was passed, we were able to get a reasonable Insurance Policy that covered a lot more. The deductible went from a 10,000 Family Deductible down to 3000. Now they are concerned that their bills will rise as President Trump repeals 0bama care. The republican replacement would cut up the republican replacement would cut up from subsidies and instead offer a year end tax credit. I dont think we could pay upfront costs per month that we are able to cover now. Weve had good coverage of it now. We just have to stay healthy and educated about the programme. Others are glad to see the back of the 0bama care plan. I didnt want to have to pay for insurance and be fined if id went. Frank voted for donald trump and backed his Health Care Plan even though he may lose out. They may drop people of the Insurance Plan because they still have got health ca re if because they still have got health care if they go into the emergency room. This comes down to cost, how watch people pay for themselves and how much they bear the cost for others. The government plan could cut the federal deficit by hundreds of billions but some doctors are unclear how it will affect patients . I think it may change the winners and losers but it is not going to eliminate losers, it is going to change the problems people encounter but not address the problems. That has been the dilemma in American Health care for decades. The system divides patients as much as it does doctors. You are fine. Your best protection against this Health Care System is not to get sick. 0ur North America editor jon sopel is here. 50 or so days into the tron presidency and his pace has stuck with him firmly. Do you think these numbers mark the beginning of this base thinking, hang on the second, you promised to look after the common man and you are giving the rich a big tax cut . It could be the issue that separates donald trump from his base if things go badly. This could be it for the Republican Party and the leadership. There are so party and the leadership. There are so many layers of complexity in this. Donald trump, its easy, cheaper, better. In government, its fiendishly complicated, isnt it . What does he do with House Republicans who thought they could vote for it, it might fail, im going to get blamed in two years in elections. No thanks. I dont want to have anything to do with it. How much political input does donald trump put into it . Does he want his name closely associated with it . If he goes too much in one direction, he goes too much in one direction, he loses the libertarian right who dont want government interference. Too much in the other direction, he loses other people. It is a really delicate balancing act and i think there are people who in private quiet moments are thinking, why have we opened this pandoras box . Could he have a pizza and bowling night and hope to pull some of them in . Thats what hes doing tonight. The Budget Committee meets in the house tomorrow and it is full of rogue republicans. He is the negotiator in chief and he prides himself on bringing home the deals. If he cant does he shift the blame to them . hate to do the only time will tell and so which is the lame answer when correspondence dont want to stick their neck out. He has put a certain amount of Political Capital in, he wont want to be defeated because i think it will be a huge moment in the early stage of his presidency if he had to admit, you know i promised you that thing, i cant do it. You just have to think of the toxic nature of the adverts democrats will be able to run if they are able to say in two years time, there could be 2a Million People without insurance as a result of republicans having supported this about. It may be unfair but who said politics was fair . Donald trump has a very difficultjob fair . Donald trump has a very difficult job knowing fair . Donald trump has a very difficultjob knowing which way to jump, knowing how far to commit itself, using how much Political Capital on this. Already talking about the midterms. Not getting into the small print about health care but this gives a very good example of how costs could go up. This is for people who earn 26,000 annually. Thats what they pay at the moment in premiums under 0bama care. Look what happens according to this report when this new system kicks in. For 64 year old people, it jumps dramatically. That is nearly half the salary of the 64 year old, much cheaperfor the half the salary of the 64 year old, much cheaper for the 21 year old who never goes to the clinic. An increase of six times for the older people, who are the ones who vote in the elections. All the more incentives for the republicans to address this. President trump campaigned on this idea that he was going to help poor americans and make sure they werent forgotten. This plan, as it stands, sacrifices the needs of poor americans and gives a tax break to wealthier americans. Is that something that they are going to want to go into they are going to want to go into the mid term elections supporting . It doesnt sound very populist. How did it go down in your household this morning with all of the snow . The snow was very popular. My son got a day of school on his birthday. He was thrilled. Ive got to intervene in this debate even though im not meant to b
