this from our north america correspondent peter bowes. steve bannon helped to shape the america first campaign that elected donald trump. in the white house he was a key player. he had the ear of the president. but his job as chief strategist was short—lived and he returned to his previous position as the head of rightwing outlet breitbart news. he promised to be the president's wingman outside but this book reveals a different story. the most damaging claim is that steve bannon watched a meeting between donald trump junior and a bunch of russian lawyers during the campaign and considered it treasonous. also a meeting between paul manafort and jared kushner. "the three senior people in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside trump tower in the conference room on the 25th floor with no lawyers" bannon is quoted as saying. he then said that after the meeting they should have called the fbi immediately. the president hit back in a scathing statement. he said, "steve bannon has nothing to do with me

america region, and the north america relations. whether it's on security, defense, many other areas of cooperation which in fact, we have been working very well as north american partners over the last 25 years. finally, 80% of the global gdp is precisely generated in cities like the one you lead and represent all over the majors. and whatever, you know, the past days after the expression on the part of several mayors say we really represent where the rubber hits of the road. and it's true. you have to deal with the frontline in dealing with citizens and residents and communities. and over the course of the past two days i've heard from all of the mayors, how important the trading relationship among our country's is for the well-being of your communities. so i think there's very good reasons why we need to get, yes, and prove nafta updated, modernize it but make sure we get it right and that we keep it going. as you know there are negotiations right now taking place in canada, so i won't go into very much detail right now. i'll lea

but in the case of british colonial north america, the system is different than what many people might have a sense of today. in fact, many people when they think of african enslavement and the slave trade, they tend to think of a west indian system or an antebellum southern american 19th century system. they tend to think of cotton fields, rice, sugar, coffee plantations. they all existed as part of the cash crop system but here in new england, we have never had temperate weather. we don't have the great soil, so we were not producing the cash crops. for the most part, the africans that came to new england generally, particularly to newport, were more involved in any of the urban trade skills that were required during that time. in the case of newport, we have primary and secondary records and shift logs and work records that show africans being apprenticed and trained as artisans. many are involved as shipwrights, court winding, silver making, fine furniture, snuff making, rum making, seamstress. any work required in urban new england colonial seaport communities, these africans were

and just a few years ago to mark the 4 hundredth anniversary of english settlement in north america, her majesty the queen of great britain was here and gave a well received speech to a packed chamber. when you look up, you see the original 1906 oval skylight. you also see the use of dutch metal paint than gives you all the gold guilding effects at a more affordable price, and you see the use of what's known as tromp employ. you have these different panels that are painted to resemble demask silk panels or maybe flocked velvet but they're flat wall surfaces that have been carefully painted. you also see in the house a sort of navy blue and gold color scheme reflected throughout this chamber. the senate of virginia in the opposite wing has very similar declarations but they dissti discontinue wish themselves with the burgundy and gold as opposed to the navy and gold here. we have moved into the west wichk owing of our building. this is the chamber used by the senate of virginia. we have 40 members of the virginia state senate who convene in this chamber starting every january. our leg

peter bowes is our north america correspondent. yes, universal outrage, shock and dismay from the african union, which is the most recent group to explain how it feels about what the president is alleged to have said. this group, which represents african nations, demanding an apology and a retraction from the president. in fact, the group went as far as to say he should issue an apology to africans and all people of african descent around the world. also today, peter, the president has undergone, we understand, his first official health checkup, something which is an annual event, but his first one was today. what was the reaction to that? little reaction so far because we don't really know a huge amount about what's happened at the health check, apart from the doctor coming out and saying that it went exceptionally well. and that the president is in excellent health. the doctor saying that he will reveal more details and take questions from reporters on tuesday. this is the normal course of events when presidents have their annual

peter bowes is our north america correspondent. we expecting anything of substance to come from this meeting? it is difficult to see anything from coming out of this meeting, it seems to have been an opportunity, certainly from many countries, to display their concern for the us attitude towards these protest on the streets of iran. there was certainly a lot of arm—twisting involved officials, us officials, nicky bailey the ambassador said she wanted to hold the meeting and was successful in getting it but certainly there wasn't universal support for it and we heard from the iranian ambassador speaking in very strong terms, saying that the us had really overstepped its authority, its position as a permanent member of the security council to get this to happen. and if anything, the us would have got the message that isn't universal support for its attitude towards this issue. as barbara just mentioned towards the end of person —— reports there, next week could be a more important week in terms of us— iran relations. week cou
