hello and welcome to 100 days. a good day for the us defence industry, but not so great for diplomats. cuts to the defence department will have to pay for the expansion of america's military. as well as the funding increase, plans to defeat so—called islamic state will be presented by the us defence secretary later today. only do one thing: win. we have to win. we have to start winning wars again. the 43rd president criticises the 45th. george w bush says we all need answers about the trump team and russia and defends the press. power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power. for best picture... la la land! the wrong result at the oscars. mistakes do happen though —

we'll look at some presidential errors. also, unreal and overoptimistic. for the nhs and welfare state if britain leaves the eu without a trade deal. that's the opinion of the former prime minister sirjohn major. and the greek economic crisis — it goes from bad to worse, we'll speak to the former greek finance minister yanis va roufakis. i'm katty kay in washington — christian fraser's in london. big increases in defence spending offset by cuts to domestic agencies and the state department — that's what president trump wants from his first budget. he's promised one of the "greatest military build ups in american history", and briefings by the white house suggest the increase could be more than 9%. also today, the defence secretaryjim mattis is due to deliver his plan for defeating the self—styled islamic state group. this is what donald trump had to say

earlier about the military. we must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to fight in our name, only do one thing, win. we have to win. we have to start winning wars again. when i was young in high school, in college, everybody used to say we never lost a war. we never lost a war, you remember. some of you were right there with me, and you remember. we never lost a war, america never lost. and now, we never win a war. we never win. and we don't fight to win. we don't fight to win. so we've either got to win or don't fight it at all. a few minutes ago, mick mulvaney, the new white house budget director, gave some more details about how the increase in military the top line number is $603 billion,

a $54 billion increase. 0ne the top line number is $603 billion, a $54 billion increase. one of the largest increases in history. it's also the number that allows the president to keep his promise to undo the military sequester. the topline non—defense number will be $462 billion, a $54 billion savings. if the largest proposed reduction since the early years of the reagan administration. the reductions in non—defense spending follow the same model as the president keeping his promises in doing exactly what he said he was going to do. it could use we give to other nations, eliminate programmes that simply don't work. that it reduces the amount. 0ur north america correspondent nick bryant is here. budgets have to go through congress, it's the final word. to the extent that we can read them as a transcript or blueprint of presidential priorities, what does donald trump want his first budget? well, it's clear he wants us of what he has called an historic rise in

defence spending. 9%, an absolutely massive amount. he wants along with that splurge on military spending to have this binge on infrastructure as well, one of his key campaign promises was to rebuild america's roads, creaking bridges, its rundown airports. he has also said he can make these savings by cutting things like spending on the environmental protection agency and also the state department, the foreign aid budget for instance. too many people, these sums just won't add up, because for instance. too many people, these sumsjust won't add up, because he says he wants to have tax cuts and all this big spending, big—ticket items like the wall at the drop. but one thing they have signalled they are not prepared to touch is so—called entitlement spending, which accounts for about 80% of the federal budget, on things like

social security, medical care, paying down the federal debt. it's what we call autopilots spending, it is spent already as it were. so the sums just is spent already as it were. so the sumsjust don't is spent already as it were. so the sums just don't seem to have been this budget. i'm young enough to remember, as are you, the days when republic sends word deficit hawks, what they wanted to do above anything else, it was almost an issue of values and patriotism, was balanced the budget, cut the deficit down from its existing $20 trillion. it doesn't sound like president trump is remotely concerned about deficit spending. you have a host of brick dust and historical problem. the national debt is 77% of gross domestic product —— you have a historical problem. it is unmanageable. although this huge increase on defence spending might sound like music to the ears of the kind of a foreign—policy hawks on capitol hill, the people with the louder voices in recent years,

especially in the republican party, have not been the defence hawks, but the deficit hawks. you can see here a problem, a political problem, for the white house. up until now, the congressional leadership, paul ryan in the house, the house speaker, they have gone along with what the white house is done. they have been very acquiescent. but here, there might not. it's setting up this sort of battle somewhere down the road between the white house and figures like paul ryan on capitol hill, who for yea rs have like paul ryan on capitol hill, who for years have been saying, "we've got to take control of the national debt and that means tackling entitlement like social security". with that in mind, would they have to blow the spending cap put in place in 2011? it looks like it at the moment. as i said, the sumsjust don't seem to add up. if trump get is when put this budget: get this budget congress. to give you an

example, if you zero down in foreign aid, it isjust1% of the budget. it puts a small dent in bringing down what is a ballooning national debt. at the moment, there is a discrepancy of $600 billion each year between the amount of money the federal government spends and the amount of money it raises through taxation, and that figure is going to balloon out over the next few yea rs to balloon out over the next few years because of the increased costs of social security and medical care. this just seems like fuzzy maths and voodoo economics, to use a phrase from the past to stop sign the president will put this to a joint session of congress tomorrow, we will see what they make of it. building up the military and defeating is were, of course, both key campaign promises for donald trump. so what is his strategy likely to be and what chance does he have of success? joining us now from new york is dr richard haass, president of the council on foreign relations and author of the new book a world in disarray. thank you forjoining us. america is

ina thank you forjoining us. america is in a process of winding down wars in afghanistan and iraq. why go now for a9% afghanistan and iraq. why go now for a 9% increase in the defence budget? well, for a couple of reasons, without defending every dollar of that increase. this effort against terrorism is not going to end, it's going to continue in iraq and syria, it will probably continue in two or three other dozen countries of the middle east and africa. this is an open—ended struggle. the united states has to prepare for more conventional conflicts, possibly something with north korea, possibly with something in europe involving russia. possibly with something iran in the middle east. we have to prepare the american military for the full spectrum of possible conflicts from the sort of thing we have seen in the middle east in recent yea rs, have seen in the middle east in recent years, but not as large scale, to all sorts of more traditional battles. plus there is cider and personnel issues, to keep people in and attract people. you add all this up, it probably does

make the case for a several percent increase in defence spending. make the case for a several percent increase in defence spendingm sounds like you're not opposed to the increase in military budget. you worked in the state department. would you think it's a good idea to pay for it, as this budget suggests, bya pay for it, as this budget suggests, by a 30% cut in the state department? the short answer is no, and it is notjust that spending which will be eliminated. where we get tremendous payoff, bob gates made a very powerful defence of what the state department was doing in terms of aid and diplomacy. domestic spending, things like the centre for disease control, education. there are important parts of american society we need to invest in, this is our future, this society we need to invest in, this is ourfuture, this is society we need to invest in, this is our future, this is what makes us a competitor. there is a guns versus butter dichotomy which i feel we are setting up. i would argue for a 3% 01’ setting up. i would argue for a 3% or 4% increase in defence and a much smaller reductions, if any, on domestic. the big issue you've got

is the lack of cutting of entitlements. we have a deal with social security, medicare, medicaid, disability. this is the fastest parting —— fastest—growing part of the government, we can't drown that out. as you know, we have one other problem. the rising costs of financing american debt. interest rates are only heading in one direction, which is up. that'll make the cost of paying for american debt that much more expensive. again, if we're cavil, will have a budget consisting of defence and paying interest on the debt and entitlements, and there'll be nothing left for american society. some of this money the president wants to go towards shipbuilding is that they can have a more robust presence in, you know, key international waterways, the likes of the south china sea. that is a strange strategy for a man who has talked about america first and looking internally, putting a much bigger footprint on the foreign stage. i welcome that i think you're

talking about a rebalanced to asia which the last administration began, you need a greater area of naval presence in the pacific, in the indian ocean near the persian gulf. at some point quality doesn't substitute for quantity, so there is a case for increased defence spending. it often matters as much or more on what you spend, how you spend it. one big problem is congress getting involved in wanting to make sure that every aeroplane shows up, getting built in 45 states, it might not be the most economical way to build an aeroplane, but it is the best way to protect the programme. the feud between mr trump and the media keeps growing. on friday several news organisations, including the bbc, were excluded from a white house press briefing. then on saturday the president announced he wouldn't be attending the white house correspondents association dinner. hitting back, a new york times op—ed today branded trump the media received support from an unlikely source today,

from the former president george w bush. not only did he say that "we all need answers” on the extent of contact between donald trump's team and the russian government, he also had this warning for the president over his criticism ofjournalists. i consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. we need an independent media to hold people like me to account. i mean, power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive. and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power. whether it be here or elsewhere. one of the things i spend a lot of time doing was trying to convince a person like vladimir putin for example to accept the notion of an independent press. it's kind of hard, you know, to tell others to have an independent free press when we're not willing to have one ourselves. some people here are suggesting that

george bush has been more critical of donald trump in one interview so far than he was of barack 0bama over the course of eight years. here to discuss is frank sesno — who spent more than two decades at cnn, where he served as white house correspondent, anchor, and washington bureau chief. he's now the director of the school of media and public affairs at george washington university. why is the president ratcheting up of this war of words and actions, indeed, with the american press now. and will it work? well, why is the ratcheting it up? it plays to his base. there is a tremendous traction for blaming the media in this country among conservatives and others who really do believe that there is a very liberal press that is hostile to this president and conservative values generally. secondly, it deflect attention from some of the stories that would otherwise be gaining traction about the disarray and disorganisation in his white house, despite the fact that they say it's running like a

well oiled machine. it is not, and people who have been through transitions in the white house before will freely say so. republicans and democrats alike. finally, it is a message that allows, i think the president to try to inoculate himself from setbacks and criticism to come. the more you demonise or marginalise the media, the less in this way of thinking, the less in this way of thinking, the media may factor in down the line. that being said, huge criticism is proper for line. that being said, huge criticism is properfor the media. that is out there. it's the way he's going about it, the personal vindictiveness and going as the former president said, in an institutional way against a fundamental pillar of the democracy. as we were suggesting earlier, the american press's reputation is not particularly strong. you have alluded to it. i did see one poll that showed that actually the media is more popular at the moment than president trump. that's quite a feat for the president trump to have achieved that. is there a sense this

might be producing a bit of a backlash? yeah. i mean, it is phenomenal. donald trump is the ultimate media irony. he is a media creation who ran against the media to be elected. he has been railing against the media since it's been elected, and other media are showing signs of remission. it was a poll that you cited, and more americans said that they trusted for credibility the media than the president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous game. president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous gamelj president of the united states. he is playing a dangerous game. i was just going to say, there's obviously a lot of concern within the white house not just a lot of concern within the white house notjust with the president about the lea ks house notjust with the president about the leaks to the press that was particularly taken by one quoted in the new york times from the communications director, who says if this fight against leaks is leaked, they'll be big trouble. and of course, it was leaked. they clearly have big problems with leaks. does that say something about how the administration is being run? yes. having covered other white houses,

the more competition in the white house, the more power centres, the more leaks there. i think that is what they are experiencing now. they also read against anonymous sources. and yet the budget briefing that the of management and budgeted today, there's insisted on being anonymous, their names were not attached. welcome to washington. washington is a town that leaks, there is a lot of people here who know a lot of people, it is easy to league without getting caught. we have whistle—blowing protection in this country that protects people leaking information about wrongdoing. they will have to get used to it. one british toy today is amber rudd using the term fake news to describe criticism she doesn't like. how corrosive to think that term is —— british story. very corrosive. this is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, formerjournalist is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, former journalist and is one of my biggest concerns as a journalist, formerjournalist and an educator now, because we're

confusing the public with this. fake news is deliberately, maliciously, com pletely news is deliberately, maliciously, completely fictitious creation of information to mislead and misdirect. news you don't like, including unfairor misdirect. news you don't like, including unfair or sensational reporting, may be irresponsible ruse. but it's not fake news. fake news is exploding around the world —— responsible news. people need to be informed about it. people in public life should be joining with news organisations to figure out what they can use is and how public needs to distinguish from it. we should be allowing the public that is informed with realfacts. should be allowing the public that is informed with real facts. thank you forjoining us. i want to get a brexit in the second, but does this phenomenon of the antipathy we have seen phenomenon of the antipathy we have seen develop between president trump and the media, i using that develop in europe as well, or is it uniquely american? i have seen it here. in britain. ijust mentioned amber

rudd, getting criticism over child refugees and used that term fake news. and it became a story today that suddenly is crossing the atla ntic that suddenly is crossing the atlantic and politicians and jeremy corbyn has also talked in interviews on the bbc about fake news and alternative facts. those mannerisms and those sort of catchphrases that we have donald trump are in some pa rt we have donald trump are in some part ridiculed over here, the bowels are being used as well by politicians. i think frank is right. that's rhetoric they are being used. former british prime ministerjohn major has broken months of silence about brexit. a staunch "remainer" himself, mr major warned before the referendum that a vote to leave would poison europe and divide the west. here's what he's been saying in london in the past hour. i've watched with growing concern as the british people have been led to expect a future that seems to be unreal and overoptimistic. obstacles are brushed aside as if of no consequence, whilst opportunities are inflated

beyond any reasonable expectation of delivery. now, i am no longer in politics. i have absolutely no wish to re—enter it in any capacity. i do not seek publicity more often than not i shy away from it. but i can't ignore what i learned in government. nor can i forget the people who voted to leave europe in the belief that it might improve their lives. if events go badly, their expectations will not be met. and whole communities will be worse off. john majorjoining the former prime minister tony blair as well, who criticised the brexit process. does this make any difference? he's being very tough on brexit, he is a remain a macro, will people listen, will it make any difference? a macro, will people listen, will it make any difference ?|j a macro, will people listen, will it make any difference? i don't think it is altogether different from what

we heard from another former prime minister, tony blair a couple of weeks ago. he does say in this speech, and i have read it throughout, that if there was a hard brexit, there will be cuts to the nhs and welfare state. and there will be some sympathy on some parts of the brexit side for that, particularly those who don't want to see how brexit. he also has some experience of what it's like negotiating in europe, so he does concede at least that the prime minister needs to be given some slack. you might remember back in 1997, when he was negotiating on the single currency, that famous quote when he said whether you agree with me or disagree with me, like me or loathe me, don't bind my hands when i'm negotiating on behalf of the british nation. i'm sure theresa may would certainly have sympathy with that amid would certainly have sympathy with thatamid a would certainly have sympathy with that amid a negotiation she's going into. 0ne that amid a negotiation she's going into. one last thing, he says that there needs to be more charm in the debate. then he goes on, in my view, to associate brexit with some of the

worst characteristics of populism. he says brexit is giving rise to a mixture of bigotry, prejudice and intolerance. i know, speaking to a lot of people who voted for brexit, that that metropolitan view of brexit is frowned on. and i don't think it will win him many friends. so not as charming as it might be? it won't win many friends on the brexit side, and papers will pick up on that tomorrow. we're always looking out for the stand out ‘moments' in awards ceremonies, and last night's oscars proved to be more memorable than most — when the best picture award, and biggest prize of the night, was handed to the wrong film. accountancy firm pricewaterhousecoopers have since apologised for the mix up which put warren beatty and faye dunaway in an awkward spot. the academy award... laughter for best picture...

you're awful! come on! la la land. will provide the love, the compassion and the humanity that will narrate the story of our lives tomorrow. there's a mistake. moonlight, you guys won best picture. this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. this is not a joke, moonlight has won best picture. moonlight. best picture. i still can't watch it. it is excruciating. the media have had great fun with this today. people in glass houses. what we've done is pulled out a couple of things where the media got it spectacularly wrong

as well. this is a headline in the chicago daily tribune in november 19 48. the polls and pundits, no room for doubt, thomas dewey would defeat harry truman, except he didn't. that paper might have been pulped and everybody might have forgotten it worked for the fact that mr truman on his way to washington came a train to st louis and someone handed him a copy of that front page. the chicago tribune didn't like him and he'd like them. sadly, you don't even have to go that far back, because there was an incident in 2016, just on the eve of the last election, that have a look at this picture. this is hillary clinton's hand signing a copy of newsweek cover with the title, you can see a quy: cover with the title, you can see a guy, madam president. they had run two covers, there she is on the 7th

of november in pittsburgh and she signs the copy. that was as close as she came to having herself be declared president. they had to recall 125,000 copies and pulp them. i here you can buy them on ebay. recall 125,000 copies and pulp them. i here you can buy them on ebayi found one of, this one goes back to june 200015. i've been digging around in the archives all day. this was the day donald trump declared he was the day donald trump declared he was running for presidency, have a look. thanks. i wonder why people with very little chance of actually getting into the oval office run for the presidency. he says that he's the presidency. he says that he's the most successful of all the republican candidates, that's what he told a newspaper in iowa recently, pointing to his business record in saying that he's the guy that can fix america. at one point during that rather rambling stream of consciousness announcement speech, he even said that we need to fix the immigration problem and it needs to start with a walk, and by the way underwear best person in

america to build walls. so i guess thatis america to build walls. so i guess that is ushered by the way, i'm the best person in america. i'm sceptical. that president trump to you! i did point you in the direction of that clip. even the best get it wrong! you're watching 100 days from bbc news. still to come for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news. the shooting of an indian immigrant in kansas a hate crime? will hear from his family and friends? we will ta ke from his family and friends? we will take a closer look at donald trump's approval ratings. they are at a record low for this stage in a presidential term. that is still to come for viewers. everything except the kitchen sink

today. rain, hail, snow, sunshine as well. weather watchers have been doing as proud. this shot taken in the highlands earlier on. a covering of snow. we have variety over the next few days. a real mottled look to things. cons of cloud producing heavy showers, but gaps in between, nailing down exactly where the gaps will arrive is not easy. showers likely overnight. ice is a more widespread hazard up and down the uk, freezing fog patches mixed in. weather winds full light, because it will be called on. temperatures close to or below freezing in many places out of town in particular. by morning, a clump of rain, pushing across the west of scotland. snow mostly across the west of scotland. snow m ostly o n across the west of scotland. snow mostly on higher ground. it had south—eastward through the morning. ahead of that, a lot of sunshine.

the bright and sunny start for many. i wouldn't call up the odd shower from the word go, even some eastern counties of england. —— wouldn't rule out. you will need a few layers, because they'll be a notable breeze. judges will fall when the showers coming. these continue to track way south—eastwards. redbrick temperatures will fall. barring that, it brightens up —— behind that. dry weather here. not exactly warm, temperatures held in single figures nationwide. when showers, ron, they fall by a few degrees. we say goodbye to this chap. as we head into tuesday, we look to the south—west from the next feature coming off the atlantic. ahead of that, cold and frosty for many places on wednesday, the best of the sun shone across central and northern areas. this front of entry will bring some rain into the south—west, a question about how far north that extends. another chilly there, particularly in northern

areas. a strong jet stream propels bands of rain in our direction again, and the behaviour of thejet stream, the king will determine how far north areas of rain extent later on in the week with some snow mixed in as on in the week with some snow mixed inasa on in the week with some snow mixed in as a doctor in the kink. rain and shine, and the ongoing risk of some snow. welcome back to 100 days with katty kay in london, christian fraser's in london. a reminder of our top story today. a huge boost for the us military spending power, as donald trump says he wants to boost the defence budget by nearly ten per cent. and a vigilfor the indian—born victim of a shooting in kansas, we'll hear from some of his family and friends. no country has suffered as much through the eurozone crisis as greece. and yet, after seven years of austerity there are signs

the country could be slipping into recession again. the deputy foreign minister has told the bbc that in the current political climate, europe's politicians should be wary about the demands they put on his country. greece needs 7 billion euros to pay its debts injuly. in return for more money the creditors — who return to greece tomorrow — want more reform. kevin connolly reports from athens. ina in a courtroom on outskirts of athens, frustration with deficit and debt and deadlines from banks boils over. the man in the striped shirt isa over. the man in the striped shirt is a lawyer, coming to process a repossession order on a building whose owners couldn't pay their mortgage. the activists have come to stop him. he can't get the case heard because he can't make himself

heard because he can't make himself heard and it's abandoned for the day. a victory in the fightback against austerity, the protesters. 50% of greek people are poor, the limits of indignity and we are here to protect those people who cannot protect themselves because the state does not protect these people. after yea rs of does not protect these people. after years of cuts, many greeks feel the imf and the eurozone leaders are preparing to demand more. traders in the athens fish market say that business has fallen by 70% since the debt crisis begun to bite seven yea rs debt crisis begun to bite seven years ago. they warned that they and their customers can't take any more. translation: we don't believe them, they always want more cuts. always new cuts and there are never new jobs. if the imf and eurozone impose

more austerity, nothing will change. investment will make things better but austerity won't stop brake problems with debt have an agent feel. -- greek problems with debt. the greek government say that the changes are part of a wave of populism around the world that are going to help it to resist demands from its creditors for new cuts. all the people of europe, especially greece because we have been hit by austerity. we must work harder than the rest of europe. this is the real question, how to reverse austerity. i think there is hope of that because the elite cannot govern as they have in the past. plenty of greeks want their government to push back hard against any calls for more austerity. these protesters are

coming is. not likely to be part of any government but certainly part of any government but certainly part of a drumbeat of discontent against any deal with international creditors that would mean further hardship here —— these protesters are communists. they have talked about light and the end of the tunnel on greek debt but the meeting from meetings like this is that it's a tunnel that keeps getting longer and a light that never seems to get any brighter. yanis varoufakis is the former finance minister of greece. earlier hejoined me in the studio. 320 billion euros of debt in greece, can the country ever recover with substantial debt relief? the simple a nswer substantial debt relief? the simple answer is no. i stood for election and became finance minister, i wa nted and became finance minister, i wanted to restructure the debt and have a decent fiscal policy and make

the reforms necessary to bring about recovery. that will never happen because the biggest creditor, germany, is going into an election, they wouldn't countenance debt relief and they say it wouldn't set the right example for countries like spain that have report. the question is, is it going to be restructured upfront, giving an opportunity for the economy to recover. —— spain that have reformed. or is the cow going to die and there will be no milk? some would say that this cycle has gone on for seven years, it is never—ending, why not cut the ties with the eurozone and do what all countries do when they are in this mess, devalue the currency, default on the debt and structure reform? even we were in a situation like

britain in the early 90s with the exchange rate mechanism, when you have the unsustainable fixed exchange rate and it changed as it did under norman le mans, my good friend, of course you do it —— norman lamb on. we didn't have a currency that was stuck to the euro, we had the euro. you're saying you can't do it, if you go back to the drachma? anything is possible but the costs are immense. to do what you suggested, you need to announce a devaluation 12 months before it happens because that's how long it ta kes to happens because that's how long it takes to create a new currency before you devalue it. imagine if harold wilson had to announce 12 months in advance the devaluation in the 60s. some would say that if you ta ke the 60s. some would say that if you take the eurozone to the cliff edge and say you are going to just default on this, the alternative is

that they may consider debt release. that is what i did but my prime minister did not back me at the last moment. he betrayed you. iwould knew such emotive language, i think he undermined himself and now he has to sign on the dotted line of agreements which he knows are designed to fail. he might say that you found out to your cost that it isn't as easy finding a solution when you are in the job. isn't as easy finding a solution when you are in the joblj isn't as easy finding a solution when you are in the job. i was a lwa ys when you are in the job. i was always telling him, i was warning him it was going to be difficult. for three years before we get into government together, i was telling him that the first thing that would happen the ecb, the central bank is going to pick up the phone and threaten us with bank closures. my reason for taking over the finance ministry was the time —— was designed so that mario draghi would come to the table with a decent agreement with some compromise.

something has changed and that is brexit. we were told at one point that it was thought that greece should be allowed to go. notjust at one point, for many years. perhaps more ready to countenance that now. he was gung ho about brexit. he has a very clear plan for the eurozone, which involve things like grexit, he has a very clear plan, but the chancellor only wants to expand the crisis. greece's collateral damage isa war crisis. greece's collateral damage is a war between two politicians, angela merkel and the imf. some interesting thoughts, something has to give and the creditors are starting their work tomorrow in athens. we'll bring you more news on that when they get to some kind of resolution. an american man accused of murdering an indian immigrant,

after reportedly shouting "get out of my country," is appearing in court in kansas today. police are investigating whether the shooting was a hate crime. rajini vaidyanathan has travelled to kansas to meet family and friends of the victim, srinivas kuchibhotla. the message and this vigil, stand by everyone. “— the message and this vigil, stand by everyone. —— at this vigil. people from all faiths and communities came here to mourn a man who lived and worked in the city. 32—year—old srinivas kuchibhotla was an engineer who moved to kansas from india. after work last week he went for a drink with his best friend when a man approached their table. he randomly comes up and start pointing fingers. we knew something was wrong. what did he say? he came towards me and said, which country are you from? are you here illegally? the man was escorted out
