iran, china, russia are increasingly challenging our vital interests and those of our allies. the threats coming from north korea are more ominous than anything we have faced in decades. at the same time terrorist from isis, al qaeda, and their affiliates endanger our very way of life. our number one responsibility as members of congress is to provide for the defense of this nation. since becoming a defense appropriations subcommittee chairwoman, i spent time talking to senior defense leadership to find out what they need to combat these threats. they have unanimously stated the only thing our adversaries respect is strength and they need this bill passed to ensure our military is a strong and effective as possible. the bill today brings total f.y. 2017 defense funding to $25 billion more than last year, and $22 billion more than the obama administration's original request. the bill includes $21 billion for critical military requirements as requested by the new administration. the bill provides the resources for secretary mattis to implement his plan to restore our military so

there are mixed messages from china because the president said when it comes to china, the north korea situation trumps trade, we had his commerce secretary say actually not so fast, the trade issue is still important so to what extent is the president going to be tough on china and to what it stands will he give a pass on trade because of north korea?m looks as though the president has redefined his relationship which reiner. —— china. he has been saying and in his speech the other day, he said he is his friend and he will help as with north korea. president bill clinton, president george w bush, president 0bama or went to the chinese to sake any help is leveraged north korea, helpless deal with this. so could donald trump do what those three could do?|j with this. so could donald trump do what those three could do? i don't think so. the chinese are frustrated with north korea, they don't want to see these threats, they also fear more a united korean peninsula, the dissolution of the north korean state at some point, a democratic government insult aligned with the united states, c

but he 15 member security council, that includes north korea's closest ally china, has demanded that pyongnang put a stop to the tests. here in the uk — the leader of the labour party, jeremy corbyn, has officially launched the party's general election manifesto. the programme includes plans to re—nationalise the water companies, as well as the railways and the uk's postal service. the labour party says the pledges will be paid for by more tax on businesses and higher earners — some of the details were leaked last week. and just to say, viewers in the uk can get up to date with all the events in the general election campaign in the election wrap, which follows one hundred days plus. that's on the bbc news channel, from 7:30 across the uk. you're watching 100 days plus from bbc news. still to come for viewers on bbc world news — we will continue our examination of donald trump's meeting with russian officials in the oval office — former defence secretary william cohen will be here to tell us what this means for national security. and we will look at ford's plan to cut 10% of

known as thad, is 110w defence shield, known as thad, is now fully operational, which will antagonise china, as well as pyongyang. maybe there is a twin strategy, over the weekend, president trump called kim jong—un a smart cookie, even said that he would meet with him if the conditions were right. joining us to discuss the rising tensions, the former us defence secretary under the clinton administration, and now bbc world affairs analyst. great to see you. when donald trump says he would be honoured to meet kim jong—un, that was a pretty odd use of the word...! jong—un, that was a pretty odd use of the word. . .! if you jong—un, that was a pretty odd use of the word...! if you -- had to -- it is not a word that you use with kimjong—un, to it is not a word that you use with kim jong—un, to say that you are willing to meet with president kim jong—un, 0k, willing to meet with president kim jong—un, ok, you can say that, under certain conditions, but take that word out of it. he is not entitled to be referred to as an honourable individual. if there was one word donald trump wo

china was quite a way behind the us, but still with a total of $215 billion. then there's a big drop to russia, which spent a total of $69 billion on its military. saudi arabia spent almost $61; billion, which was 23 billion less than in 2015. and in 2016 the uk‘s military expenditure was 5a billion dollars. something we have talked about that is interesting is the size of america's military budget and the fa ct america's military budget and the fact that between us, we almost know no one who serves on it. it's remarkable. at the head of world war ii,12% of remarkable. at the head of world war ii, 12% of the remarkable. at the head of world war ii,12% of the us remarkable. at the head of world war ii, 12% of the us population was serving in the armed forces. today it is less than half of 1%. so many people serving our military in america yet so few people it seems in the circles that i'm moving know who they are. i have a handful from high school and one from law school and that's it. as we look at the fallen and look at the people who are willing to give th

we have seen this in china in particular, the importance of personal relationships to donald trump and he stressed his ability to build relationships with xi jinping. it will be interesting whether he talks about the personal relationship also with malouda bass. imagine it worked with malouda bass. imagine it worked with his business dealings and we will see if that translates into politics and it is about how well you could build up personal relationship or not. in just four days the french will chose their next president — and a high stakes tv debate tonight between marine lepen and emmanuel macron may help voters make their decision. for two and a half hours the candidates will be questioned on their policy positions as the voters make their choice. 0ur correspondent thomas fessy is in the city of troyes — once a bastion of france's old textile industry and now crippled by industrial decline. hejoins us now. if we put this in metaphorical terms, what macron is doing tonight effectively in this tv debate is walking across a carefully polished marble floor holding the precious min

not really because of china but because of the incredible technological changes we are seeing. so if you tell these people, we need to export, if you put barriers on imports, there will be barriers for exports, and then it will be very ha rd to exports, and then it will be very hard to hear that, but it's the truth. what they need to do is cut spending. it's the highest government spending in the world. you spend far too much money on the public sector. that's absolutely right. 56% of the french gdp is made of public spending, of which half is for the government and half is for of public spending, of which half is for the govn state, tand half is for of public spending, of which half is for the govn state, so 1d half is for to it toito very, , verv muchj very much “$3555” 7, w’ ”7, "f very much “$3555” ' your ”7, "f f' a lot of fear a: on a lot off;;._:. on emmanuel §hel g he does win this election m sunday lid the - of has mstedofi’twittie-r:”" * w w" e
