hello and welcome to one hundred days. it's a whole new tone from donald trump who gets good reviews for his first address to congress. the president is optimistic and conciliatory — saying he wants to reach out to democrats. the time for a small thinking is over. the time for trivial fights is behind us. his wish list, a trillion dollars for infrastructure spending, more money for the military and tax cuts are his priorities, but how will he pay for it all? us stocks soar after the speech, but the former chairman of the federal reserve, alan greenspan, tells us of his doubts about the president's plans. america under donald trump will have 396 america under donald trump will have 3% more growth. that's how he's good to fix it and pay for it all. can you do it? now. ashfaq can he do it? no. in france, the centre—right candidate for the presidential election, francis fillon, is placed under formal investigation for the alleged misuse

of public funds, but he rejects calls to step aside. karen pence, 350, not content is, 256, so the contents have it. —— contents. the british government suffers a first defeat on brexit legislation. the house of lords backs an opposition amendment which could delay theresa may's timetable. and read my lips. a rare glimpse into the president's big speech preparations. you're watching one hundred days with katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. it was a very different donald trump who addressed congress last night — less flame—thrower, more president. he was still tough on immigration and terrorism but there was a surprising splattering of optimism, too. even the odd call for unity. and it seems people here liked it. in fact, so favourable were the morning headlines — even from what he calls the "failing" new york times — that an often irascible president

could find nothing to moan about. on his twitter page was this — thank you, and in bold type, too! let's have a listen to some of what he had to say. the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and terrorism—related offences, since 9/11, came here from outside of our country. we have seen the attacks at home. from boston to san bernardino, to the pentagon, and yes, even the world trade center. we have seen the attacks in france, in belgium, in germany and all over the world. it is not compassion, but reckless, to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur. applause those given the high honour of admission to the united states,

should support this country, love its people and its values. we cannot allow a beachhead of terrorism to form inside america. we cannot allow our nation to become a sanctuary for extremists. 0ur foreign policy calls for direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. it is american leadership based on vital security influence, that we share with our allies all across the globe. we strongly support nato, an alliance forged in the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned fascism and the cold war, and defeated communism. but our partners must

meet their financial obligations. and now based on our strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. in fact, i can tell you the money is pouring in. very nice. 0ur north america editorjon sopel is with me. much about the content of the speech and the agenda but the headline was and the agenda but the headline was a question of tone. i want to show you a tweet that has come from the conservative commentator kathleen parker. those pictures of every sing in the back of the car, the beast,

before he goes to capitol hill, fascinating. if you are the rolling stones playing one of your hits, you don't need to be hers. when you are trying out new lines and new songs you have diverse. he was trying out something we haven't seen before from donald trump. a new persona, inclusive, warm, positive, optimistic about the future, wanting to bring people together, unifying. that was something we have not seen from donald trump before, and the question people will be asking, like you and me, was, was that a one—off, oi’ you and me, was, was that a one—off, or will we see a new donald trump emerging from the chrysalis of the first chaotic few weeks in the white house? i'm sure that the blast saying to him today, look at the reviews you're getting for that disciplined performance, you stuck to the message that was written down for you, and it all worked out very nicely. and he definitely likes good reviews. the people liked it and congress likes it. let's have a look

at paul ryan, the conservative leader of the house, nodding and clapping, this is all very good. he is even clapping the $1 trillion infrastructure project. this is a clip when he is asked about funding and infrastructure project that is half the size of the one that the president has put forward. take a look at his reaction. would you help president donald trump cast a $550 billion infrastructure programme? would that be something you would help them achieve? that is not in the a better way. he's a man that has got to corral the conservatives and put promises into policy. kenny it? last night it seemed like mike pence and paul ryan had been to the same tailor and got a two—for—one offer on the same suit, shirt and tie. moving on from that, it is

going to be difficult. these are problems that every president has faced, not just donald problems that every president has faced, notjust donald trump, that you can come forward with ideas like a$1 you can come forward with ideas like a $1 trillion infrastructure plan, much that it might be needed, but will it be passed with fiscally conservative republicans who want to be paying down the deficit? he talked about paper may —— paid paternity leave. though seem like very democratic things to be advocating. he also called for the democratic party to come into the tent, to embrace the changes he is going to make. is that going to happen? we heard a long wish list last night. turning that injury allergy might be something a little more tricky. —— turning that into reality. with us now is the kansas secretary of state, the former chairman of the kansas republican party, kris kobach. a big supporter of donald trump. did

it go down well, where you were sitting? yes, i think it went very well. i was listening to your prior commentary. it is important to put this speech in context. the state of the union message is the only one the union message is the only one the president is required by the constitution to give. it is a speech to be given to a joint session of undress. the question is, has donald trump changed his demeanour or manner of speaking? you will see all of the state of the union messages during the trump presidency look like this because it's a specific type of speech given to the legislature, where he lays out a legislative agenda whilst as other speeches are speaking to the common man, and it is a throng of thousands of people. he will probably give that kind of speech to that audience and this kind of speech to congress. i take that, but isn't the one lesson that comes out of this that there is a lot more power in the presidency when you are talking with optimism and in positive terms than the resent counterpunching and

attacking opponents and getting dragged into meaningless arguments? i think there was something to be said for that, absolutely. you want to remember, this is handing the ball to congress because it's the first time he is laying out a legislative agenda, so he has to project confidence and optimism that you can get it done and i will sign a bill when it comes to my desk after you get it done. so in this context that optimism is important and counterpunching doesn't serve any purpose in the state of the union message. katy clay here in washington. i want to ask about the substance and the detailed in this speech —— mccrone. there was cause for more spending on the military, family leave, clean air, and they spoke about health care reforms he spoke about health care reforms he spoke about health care reforms he spoke about keeping in access for people with pre—existing conditions

and also conditions on medicaid. is he going to run into problems when he going to run into problems when he tries to keep conservatives on board with them? i think you are right with respect to spending on infrastructure. you will have a natural clash between the conservative impulse in congress to keep spending under control and an ambitious agenda laid out by the president. as far as the specifics on health care, and the repeal of 0bamacare, i don't see conflict there. if you look at the republican alternatives, what we would like to be the case when 0bamacare is gone, they include the things that donald trump was talking about, covering people with pre—existing conditions. i don't see much fiction, there. on the size of the infrastructure plan, the size of the infrastructure plan, the president is a deal—maker. he has thrown out his initial offer, how about $1 trillion? at the end of the day it is going to be something

else. another deal he was floating yesterday was television news anchors here, was the idea of proposing immigration reform with some kind of pathway to citizenship for people who are currently here illegally. how would that go down that his supporters therein kansas? any form of amnesty, where you are having citizenship or not, giving legal staters to those in the country illegally, would not go down well with his ace, and that includes people in kansas, just because he campaigned very vigorously during the entire cycle of the presidency campaign, enforcing our laws and against amnesty. whether there is some element of amnesty or somebody that comes from congress remains to be seen but in terms of where his base is, his days once our laws in first and not to have an amnesty.

katty, let me ask you, there was a different tone to the speech but is there any clue about who actually wrote it? we were told with the inaugural speech that it was steve miller and steve bannon who were behind it, and it was a much darker tone. who wrote this one? the striking thing about this speech that it was night and day compared to the inaugural address. that it was night and day compared to the inauguraladdress. so that it was night and day compared to the inaugural address. so the speculation is that somebody else had their hands on this speech and wrote something that was effectively much more conventional as a political speech. i have heard that the vice president got involved and that he wanted elements in there with more calls for unity, that his daughter ivanka and her aid got in there on issues like child and family leave, so we have aired more voices in there, so what is the president going to do going forward, listen to those voices that got him rave reviews or is his instinct more

that armageddon type image of america we saw any and all address? it will be fascinating to watch his evolution. you wonder if the positive spin on this might take him ina positive spin on this might take him in a different direction. let's turn to france, now. francois fillon, the right wing candidate to become the next president of france, says he will fight on despite news today he will be placed under formal investigation. he has been summoned to appear before magistrates on march 15th, facing allegations he paid his wife hundreds of thousands of euros of public money for parliamentary work she might never have done. one of mr fillon‘s closest aides resigned from the campaign today. he said the candidate had gone back on his word to withdraw from the election if he was placed under formal investigation. translation: a number of my political friends are talking about the political assassination. political friends are talking about the politicalassassination. it political friends are talking about

the political assassination. it is in fact an assassination, because it is disproportionate, unprecedented, by the choice of this calendar, it is not only me who is being assassinated by these presidential elections, too. let's get more from benedicte paviot, uk correspondent for the french network, france 24. there will be many people who will point to that speech today and talk about the arrogance of francois fillon. he is third in the polls, he's facing all sorts of problems. surely the right thing to do is step aside and give the party a chance. we har 53 days away from the first round of the presidential election on 23rd of april. yes, there are a lot of people wondering tonight, whether it is in france or abroad, french nationals, who will vote in this election, and we really are

astonished that he is not quitting. he was in a defiant, combative mood. he was in a defiant, combative mood. he was in a defiant, combative mood. he was supposed to appear before the media at 8am at an event that there isa media at 8am at an event that there is a must for any top french politician. there were rumours he might not appear, then he appeared at half past 12 at lunchtime with a delayed press conference at his headquarters. but we have moved on from there. you mentioned in your introduction the fact that one of his key advisers, a former rival in the french primaries, before francois fillon became the official candidate, he resigned at the end of the afternoon. now another centrist party, the has suspended and will make a decision next week. he is losing support, haemorrhaging support, but he is adamant he will not quit. and, of course, what the

french media are absolutely talking about is, they are replaying the fa ct about is, they are replaying the fact that, back in august, when he was placed under formal investigation, if he was, he said he would quit as a candidate. the question is with this appears before a judge that he told the world about come on 15th of march, his wife, penelope, is also going to appear before thejudge. that penelope, is also going to appear before the judge. that is two days before the judge. that is two days before all french presidential candidates who wish to stand in this presidential election are actually going to, it is the last date before they can say that they have the 500 needed signatures to become a candidate in that election. it is quite a year in washington. whatever francois fillon is saying, i won't give up, surrender or withdraw, it looks like the end of his presidential ambitions, one way or the other. what does it mean for the

republican party? is it the end of their ambitions for this year leased? the person who came second was alain juppe. let's leased? the person who came second was alainjuppe. let's remember what happened. primaries are not a french phenomenon but an american one. it is the first time that the french right has tried this and against all expectations it was not alain juppe, anotherformer prime expectations it was not alain juppe, another former prime minister, expectations it was not alain juppe, anotherformer prime minister, who was favourite, not just within the centre—right but across the board and in the polls for months, it was actually quite comfortably francois fillon who won. he presented himself as somebody who was trustworthy and wa nted as somebody who was trustworthy and wanted to preserve once. this is why it is not sitting well with his own party. —— preserve france. 73% of people yesterday, just before this happened, across the board in france, say politician should be judged like any french citizen, no special rights, no stopping and posing of thejudicial special rights, no stopping and posing of the judicial process. but francois fillon has said, he has

made serious accusations against the judiciary, and the police, and he is saying that he has been politically assassinated. so the people who could benefit from this are marine le pen and emmanuel macron. we have had so many twists and turns, who knows? it is a fascinating collection. we will be wondering what happens to marine le pen, because of this. it's already been nicknamed the "trump bump." us stocks have soared today. that's right — the dow has breached the 21,000 mark for the first time ever — partly as a result of the president's address to congress and the expectation of higher interest rates. on the economy, donald trump promised tax cuts and a huge increase in infrastructure spending. here he is. to launch our national rebuilding, i will be asking congress to approve legislation that produces a one

jillion dollars investment in infrastructure of the united states, financed through both public and private capital, creating millions of newjobs. applause investors clearly liked what they heard. what do the economic gurus make of it? this morning i spoke to the former chairman of the federal reserve, alan greenspan. i started by asking for his reaction to the economic policy of the president's address last night. it was a very important change in style which i frankly hadn't expected to see when he came into office. and i was shocked, first, that he did it. if he stays off twitter, i think the world would be

better off. but overall, it was a good performance relative to what he had done in the past. he laid out quite a lot of spending proposals that he would like. infrastructure, military, family leave, where was the revenue side to pay for it all? hidden. this is the issue. that was not a speech that was meant to be taken literally. not a speech that was meant to be ta ken literally. one not a speech that was meant to be taken literally. one that you must ask, how do you find various things, there was nothing in their about strong economic growth, well, where's that coming from? right at the moment we're going through a period of significant stagnation, for five years. and this is period of significant stagnation,

forfive years. and this is having period of significant stagnation, for five years. and this is having a critical impact on the whole psychology of the economy. a democratic society has to be perceived to have growth, which all of sudden, looks to sink into populism. and what we're looking at basically at this moment as far as i can see is something very similar to what is happening in latin america. populism in that context is not an economic policy. it is basically a cry of pain. the request is, somebody come and do something.- great populists do, donald trump promises that it is going to be fabulous. he is talking about, and he said it again yesterday, not in his speech but during the course of the day, america under donald trump will have 3% more growth. that's how he's going to fix it and pay for it

all. can he do it? now. why see promising it, then, because then it opens the door to disappointment. promising it, then, because then it opens the door to disappointmentm is obvious. i think we underestimate the impact on the marketplace of the issue of regulation. what the markets are responding to is the elimination of this, not his other policies, but the is a clean issue. the markets have responded well to the president's address. in fact the markets have responded well ever since he was elected. how far the canny financial markets become? are you concerned? canny financial markets become? are you concerned ? i canny financial markets become? are you concerned? i don't think it is too much of an exaggeration to say that virtually all of the market response is the removal of uncertainty. turning our back to the

direction of higher levels of regulatory pressures. which is not a surprise. alan greenspan, studiously trying to stand in the middle, but doi trying to stand in the middle, but do i pick up a hemp that he doesn't think the numbers in this budget add 7 __ think the numbers in this budget add up? —— pick up a hint. think the numbers in this budget add up? -- pick up a hint. alan greenspan has to be careful not to be too political but i did not hear anything there apart from donald trump's the regulation plans, which clearly the markets are loving, about saying this is going to be an economic policy that makes any sense. even if you can get it through, but the numbers, perhaps, don't add up. the british government has suffered its first defeat on the brexit bill which is currently going through the uk parliament. the house of lords voted in favour of an opposition—backed amendment that would guarantee the future status of eu nationals already in the country. britain is withdrawing from the eu's policy of free movement. that leaves three million eu

nationals currently in britain, and one million britons who live in eu countries, in limbo. let's go live now to westminster and our chief political correspondent, vicki young. 358-256 in 358—256 in terms of votes. what does this mean for the prime minister's timetable? this is a big defeat for the government, there is no doubt about that. theresa may hope to be able to offer this guaranteed to eu citizens living here in britain, but she does not want it to be a unilateral action. she says it has got to be debated and negotiated with other eu countries, because she's concerned about the british people living elsewhere in the eu. the unelected house of lords tonight, they have not agreed with her, and in overwhelming fashion. the conservative government put in all its supporters people like the novelist, jeffrey archer and

composer andrew lloyd webber, making rare appearances, but it was not enough, and the opposition parties say that they have given a lesson to the government in morality, the right thing to do, they say, and a lesson in humanity. what happens now, they go back to the elected house of commons. many of them have concerns. the question is whether they will agree with the house of lords, whether theresa may can continue as she wants to, and trigger article 50, starting those for more brexit negotiations by the end of this month. vicki, thank you for the moment. you're watching 100 days. still to come, a warning for the city of london. we will hear more from the former head of the us federal reserve about why he believes brexit will be bad for the uk economy. and the presidential style preparation for public speaking. that is still to come on 100 days. good evening. prepare

yourself for a bumpy ride up to the weekend. we have some wet and windy weather with things turning lively tonight to england and wales. strong winds, and some rain and snow around. gales bashing the coast and we could see gusts of 50 miles an hour even now we could see gusts of 50 miles an houi’ even flow across we could see gusts of 50 miles an hour even now across the south. and some heavy rain across parts of wales, northern england and the midlands. some of that might fall as slowdown to quite low levels bringing some disruption. a quieter night for the north, northern ireland in particular. some wintry showers across the north—west of scotla nd showers across the north—west of scotland in particular. becoming dry across southern counties, but wherever you are it will feel cold and dry tonight. those gales will soon subside but it will still feel pretty blustery through the day. rain and snow moving away from central areas for a time, and many

of us will settle into a half decent day with a lot of dry weather as we get into the afternoon. across the south that is going to feel warm compared to today, plenty of sunshine around and just the odd shower out to the west. a much better afternoon across parts of northern england and north wales compared with the morning. things settling down quite nicely. more rain living large to the of northern ireland. the best of the sunshine across eastern scotland with further wintry showers in the west. it will feel chilly in northern areas. heading through the night, things go downhill again across the south. a developing area of low pressure will push bands of rain northwards across england and wales as we get through friday, so a disappointing end to the week with some heavy rain for a time. some doubt about how far north that gets, but for most of northern ireland and scotland, we will probably get away with it. and low pressure is going to dominate the

weather right through the weekend. if not this one, then another one coming in off the atlantic. we know what low pressure means. it means that rain is not going to be too far away. prepare for some wet weather at times and some strong winds. for many of us, it will feel on the chilly side through this weekend. welcome back to one hundred days, with me katty kay in washington and christian fraser in london. a reminder of our top story: has donald trump hit the re—set button? in his first speech to congress, he repeated many of his key pledges on security, immigration, trade and tax. but there are still questions on how will it be paid for. and coming up — we'll hear more from the former head of the us fed about why he thinks brexit will be bad for the uk economy. well, of course one of the hallmark issues of donald trump's presidency so far has been immigration,

and securing america's borders. and during his presidential address, he said that the united states "must restore the rule of law" at its borders. well let's speak to michael chertoff — he's the former secretary of homeland security and now executive chairman of the chertoff group. thanks for coming in. let's talk about their immigration ban. it has been stalled in the courts, the white house is working on a new one. in your experience, how useful has that been in terms of american national security or not useful?” do think it's worth periodically taking a look at our visa screening system to make sure we are adequately capturing the information we need to keep out dangerous people without restriction things. i think it is worthwhile taking a second look at this. it is the first try had some legal problems and perhaps was overbroad, i think they are looking at a much more narrowly

sculpted and much more sensible ban on the idea really is not to stop travel altogether but to make sure you are identifying those locations where there is a higher risk and then have these are vetting process that captures those risks. there has been some criticism that this is a targeted news limbs and if you add that to some of the language of the president has use, —— muslims. they repeated phrase of radical islamic terrorism. we had it last night. is this something that could come back to haunt america? that it is not worth taking this as a war against islam is that the president seems to be doing. it is clear we do not want to see this as a war against islam or suggest that muslims almost muslims or the islamic religion itself is a problem. we do have to recognise that there is an ideology that claims the islamic mantle that is supporting a lot of terrorist

activities we see in the region and in europe and elsewhere. and not to acknowledge that runs the risk i think are bending over backwards. when i go to the region and i've beenin when i go to the region and i've been in the region and i say how do you describe the terrace, they say we call them jihadi ‘s or extremists in glamis. even people from the region of the arab world use that terminology and i think we have to be realistic about it. question. the language is important. if you look at the section on immigration in the speech, it was one of the darkest pa rt of speech, it was one of the darkest part of it because he talks about an environment of lawless chaos when he is referring to immigrants and he talks about the vast majority of those convicted of terror crimes are foreign—born which is not true if you look at the evidence. are you worried at all bad it is that kind of language that is going to great more problems down the line?” of language that is going to great more problems down the line? i think

the rhetoric does get a little overheated and that runs the risk of first overly alarming the american people and secondly intimidating and alienating people in the muslim community in the us who are loyal americans. but again the basic point that we need to have an adequate process for screening people from overseas who want to come to the us, i think it is a fair point and even after 911, we had to do an enormous amount of re—engineering our travel screening progress to keep that the kind of operatives we saw on september the 11th. the extreme vetting that you are talking about will be in this new travel order which we expect sometime this week. what would you consider is that extreme vetting if there was such a thing? what is fair for people coming through american airports?” think if people are particularly people who come from the beazer waiver programme and if they have travelled to one of those areas that

congress identified as areas where there are currently terrace combat going on, it is fair to have these people perhaps get a visa in advance or get pulled aside and question about what they were doing there and why. as you know in britain, the issue of foreign fighters, europeans who go to syria or other up to fight with isis is the increasing concern for security officials around the world. i must ask you before you go, in 2016, you were a signatory along with 50 other national security figures to a letter in which he said that president trump would be the most reckless president in american history. do you still agree with that? i think the president has made some good appointments in his security area. i think we have to withhold judgment. i would love to be proved wrong. you still have concerns. i want to see how the policy develops. we are early in the presidency. he has made good appointments. i will see what the

new travel order says. we saw the president recommit yesterday to nato. as he take the steps, i would love to be able to say i miss judged it, iam love to be able to say i miss judged it, i am happy to say he is doing a good job. we will get you back in. thank you forjoining us. more now from that interview you did earlier today with former us federal federal reserve chairnan alan greenspan. katty yes, i also spoke to him about the prospects for the eurozone economy going forward. how liable do you think greece's position in the eurozone is?” how liable do you think greece's position in the eurozone is? i have been forecasting four years that they would drop out or be forced out of the eurozone and the reason to remember is that they got into the europe gale eurozone under false pretences. ultimately it has been germany which has supported them, directly and indirectly. it is going to bea directly and indirectly. it is going to be a very interesting question about how long you can go on. it is

an unstable economic system, it is a small economy. it is doing more damage to the structure of the euro than anything else but until that is resolved on my thought is that to resolved on my thought is that to resolve it is to detach greece from the eurozone. but no one listens to me. you sound surprisingly pessimistic. i found that way because i am. at least i hope by some that way. is there a scenario in which brexit could be good for the british economy but not good for the british economy but not good for the european economy?” the british economy but not good for the european economy? i would be hard—pressed the european economy? i would be ha rd—pressed to find the european economy? i would be hard—pressed to find an example of that. brexit in my view has been bad or will be bad for the british economy. brexit is essentially, you know, it's

economy. brexit is essentially, you know, its american populism. i'm convinced that when some of the number of the people start moving out of london, and they are going through the motions down, that a new photo, ina through the motions down, that a new photo, in a different direction. alan greenspan that. brexit is latin american populism. what are you hearing on your side of the atlantic? i think people are quite pessimistic about greece and possibly italy as well. we had a guest in the studio the other day and he was making the point that the situation with greece at the moment is untenable unless somebody cuts the depth and at the moment there doesn't seem to be any sign of that because germany of course is heading into an election and germany is one of the biggest creditors. the americans are very frustrated about this, we heard from president

trump's trade adviser speaking just last month saying germany is keeping the euro artificially low by keeping countries like greece on board. there are plenty people in america who would like greece to be cut loose the weaker countries can drift away and the euro becomes stronger and therefore there would be a more equitable trading partnership between europe and the united states. it is interesting, a lot of the people talking at the moment about greece. mr trump clearly a supporter of brexit but not everyone here in washington still the same as the president does. clearly the former chairman thinks differently. some of the day's other key developments: a united nations investigation into the battle for aleppo in syria has concluded that both sides were guilty of war crimes. the report focuses on fighting last year, and says the syrian air force carried out an attack on a un aid convoy. rebels are said to have used civilians as human shields. more than a thousand jobs are thought to be at risk at the car maker ford, at its engine plant in bridgend in wales.

the company revealed concerns about a slowdown in work in a leaked document seen by the bbc. ford won't comment on the document, but says it "fully understands" concerns for the longer term. two women have been charged with the murder of the half—brother of north korean leader kimjong un. they face the death penalty if found guilty. malaysian police believe they wiped the deadly nerve agent "vx" on kim jong nam's face in kuala lumpur airport just over a fortnight ago. the women claim they thought they were taking part in a video prank. europe's most active volcano has erupted in a fiery show of lava. mount etna, on the italian island of sicily, has been largely dormant for the past two years. it is spectacular when it goes. the volcano's latest eruptions began on monday. authorities say there's no danger to nearby towns. etna's eruptions can last days or even weeks — the last major one was in 1992. it was pretty spectacular. do not

get too close. shall we take a quick look at president trump rehearsing last night? here he is in the back of his car. i do this before some of my performances. i like to get the head movement in. like that, a bit of that. what do you think? i do this when i'm about to tell the children. she was quite into that. her daughter had written part of that speech according to you, no doubt she was very congratulatory. there is something serious about that, there is the president wanting to get this right and you have to think that somebody in the oval office got him and said what we are doing so far is not working in terms of broadening our appeal. the bay still loves us but we are not reaching other people and we are getting hammered in terms of review of how we are presenting cell. the president himself gave himself a c for communication. that

is the president doing what it takes to improve that c grade and he has succeeded in doing so. will he now go back to the office today? a p pa re ntly go back to the office today? apparently they are going to rolled out his travel order today but they have postponed it because they are basking in the glory of everything that has happened, some say. quite right too, it was a good performance by all accounts. it is all starting to sound remarkably like a normal presidency, isn't it? traditional and sober. yes. let's see how long it lasted and when he gets back his little device and starts tweeting again. that is the big question. john said it at the beginning of this programme, how long does the last? which is the real deal more trump? the one we saw last night, discipline, sober, acting like president, being a president or is it the one who is thin—skinned and attacked his critics and doesn't like any form of criticism? you the presidentialfingers like any form of criticism? you the presidential fingers twitching, like any form of criticism? you the presidentialfingers twitching, do you? i think its aims are keeping

his device away from him. that his aides. that is one hundred days for now — my colleagues laura trevelyan and anthony zurcher will be taking your questions on our facebook live page shortly. so do get in touch with your thoughts. for now though, from katty kay in washington, and me christian fraser in london — goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: the government has suffered its first defeat in parliament over brexit. the house of lords has voted by a sizeable majority to give european union nationals already living here the right to stay in the uk. two british medics, part of a large group of students who joined so—called islamic state have been killed in iraq. sex education is to be made compulsory in all schools in england. children as young as four will be
