President Trump engages in a public feud with his own intelligence

:00:00.:00:10.

agencies and accuses them of criminal behaviour.

:00:11.:00:12.

He blames them for the resignation of his national security advisor

:00:13.:00:16.

Mike Flynn, the man who admitted misleading colleagues

:00:17.:00:18.

I think it's very, very unfair what's happened to General Flynn,

:00:19.:00:24.

the way he was treated and the documents and papers

:00:25.:00:30.

that were illegally, I stress that, illegally leaked.

:00:31.:00:35.

We'll have the latest as the President also breaks

:00:36.:00:37.

with diplomatic tradition in the search for peace

:00:38.:00:39.

He tells the Israeli Prime Minister that establishing a Palestinian

:00:40.:00:44.

state alongside Israel is no longer the only option that

:00:45.:00:46.

The ruling body of the Church of England rejects a controversial

:00:47.:00:54.

report that marriage in Church should only be between

:00:55.:00:56.

Malaysia is asked to hand over the body of Kim Jong-nam,

:00:57.:01:03.

the half-brother of the North Korean leader, who died of

:01:04.:01:05.

Protests in the suburbs of Paris following the alleged rape

:01:06.:01:13.

of a black youth worker by a city police officer.

:01:14.:01:24.

And a miserable night for Arsenal in tonight's Champions League match

:01:25.:01:26.

More Champions League last 16 problems for Arsenal

:01:27.:01:36.

as Bayern Munich take control of the tie thanks to three goals

:01:37.:01:39.

President Trump's public dispute with his own intelligence

:01:40.:02:02.

He's accused them of breaking the law by leaking classified

:02:03.:02:09.

information and he blamed them for the resignation of his national

:02:10.:02:11.

Mr Flynn had admitted misleading colleagues about his contacts

:02:12.:02:16.

The President is now under even greater scrutiny following claims

:02:17.:02:23.

of repeated contacts between his team and

:02:24.:02:25.

Russian officials during the election campaign.

:02:26.:02:26.

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, reports.

:02:27.:02:28.

Not yet four weeks in, his travel ban's been blocked,

:02:29.:02:32.

his national security adviser's been fired and the questions about his

:02:33.:02:35.

And when the President is angry, the place he vents is on Twitter

:02:36.:02:42.

and, boy, did he let rip this morning.

:02:43.:02:46.

"This Russian connection nonsense is merely an attempt to cover up

:02:47.:02:48.

the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's

:02:49.:02:51.

The real scandal here is that classified information

:02:52.:02:57.

is illegally given out by intelligence like candy.

:02:58.:02:59.

And, on the reporting of this - "the fake news media is going crazy

:03:00.:03:07.

with their conspiracy theorys and blind hatred."

:03:08.:03:10.

The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel.

:03:11.:03:13.

At his news conference with the Israeli Prime Minister,

:03:14.:03:17.

no mention of concerns about links with Russia and you'd never

:03:18.:03:20.

have guessed that it was the President who'd forced

:03:21.:03:22.

Michael Flynn, General Flynn, is a wonderful man.

:03:23.:03:29.

I think's he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media.

:03:30.:03:31.

As I call it, the fake media in many cases.

:03:32.:03:35.

And I think it's really a sad thing that he was treated so badly.

:03:36.:03:39.

I think, in addition to that, from intelligence,

:03:40.:03:44.

papers are being leaked, things are being leaked.

:03:45.:03:47.

But on Capitol Hill there's one central concern among senior

:03:48.:04:01.

Republicans and Democrats, it's the administration's links

:04:02.:04:03.

The base issue is getting to the bottom of what the Russian

:04:04.:04:08.

interference was and what the relationship was with associates

:04:09.:04:11.

of the Trump effort and so that is the big elephant

:04:12.:04:16.

in the room that has got to be dealt with in the most appropriate way.

:04:17.:04:19.

The American people need to understand, we need

:04:20.:04:21.

to understand and it needs to be dealt with quickly.

:04:22.:04:24.

On January 15th, the vice-President went on television to deny that

:04:25.:04:30.

Russian sanctions had been discussed in those phone calls.

:04:31.:04:34.

On January 26th, the acting Attorney General tells

:04:35.:04:37.

That's when the President was informed.

:04:38.:04:41.

But it wasn't until February 9th, when the story was about to break

:04:42.:04:45.

in the press, that vice-President Mike Pence was told.

:04:46.:04:47.

That means he was deliberately kept in the dark for over two weeks.

:04:48.:04:50.

And this was his spokesman yesterday seeking to explain that discrepancy.

:04:51.:05:02.

What he was asked specifically is, was he aware of

:05:03.:05:05.

Of course he was involved, I just said that he was aware

:05:06.:05:11.

of the situation right after the White House council

:05:12.:05:13.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that this

:05:14.:05:16.

is an administration that is reeling.

:05:17.:05:18.

Just take Donald Trump's controversial travel ban.

:05:19.:05:20.

He announced at the end of last week there'd be a new executive order

:05:21.:05:23.

It's now Wednesday, there's been nothing.

:05:24.:05:29.

Work is not getting done because of the turmoil.

:05:30.:05:32.

As we've seen, the President has hosted a meeting at the White House

:05:33.:05:42.

with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

:05:43.:05:45.

Mr Trump seems to have cast aside two decades of American policy

:05:46.:05:48.

in the Middle East by suggesting that the creation of a new

:05:49.:05:51.

Palestinian state alongside Israel, the so-called two-state solution,

:05:52.:05:54.

is no longer the only peace plan under consideration by America.

:05:55.:05:57.

Our Middle East editor, Jeremy Bowen, has more details.

:05:58.:06:08.

When Mr and Mrs Netanyahu arrived at the White House there seemed to be

:06:09.:06:15.

real warmth. Binyamin Netanyahu hopes so. He had a sour relationship

:06:16.:06:18.

with Barack Obama and wants this visit to be a new start. Before he

:06:19.:06:22.

was elected President, MrTrump seemed ready to give Israel a blank

:06:23.:06:27.

cheque on the Palestinians. Binyamin Netanyahu authorised thousands more

:06:28.:06:31.

homes for Jews in the occupied territories in defiance of

:06:32.:06:35.

international law within days of MrTrump's inauguration. But now he

:06:36.:06:39.

is in the White House the President has changed his tune. He sees

:06:40.:06:44.

himself as America's greatest deal-maker and seems to believe he

:06:45.:06:48.

can make the deal between Israel and the Palestinians that evaded the

:06:49.:06:53.

last four American Presidents. But that, he said, means give and take.

:06:54.:06:56.

As far as settlements, I'd like to see you hold back on settlements for

:06:57.:07:01.

a little bit. We'll work something out. But I would like to see a deal

:07:02.:07:05.

being made. I think a deal will be made. As with any successful

:07:06.:07:11.

negotiation, both sides will have to make compromises. You know that,

:07:12.:07:17.

right? Both sides. But in a Middle East that is often chaotic, Binyamin

:07:18.:07:22.

Netanyahu sees opportunities. For the first time in my lifetime, and

:07:23.:07:28.

for the first time in the life of my country, Arab countries in the

:07:29.:07:35.

region do not see Israel as an enemy, but increasingly as an ally.

:07:36.:07:40.

And that's because Israel and the Arab states in the Gulf have a

:07:41.:07:46.

common enemy. It's Iran. It it is seen as a big threat in the region.

:07:47.:07:51.

But other Arab countries of the Gulf are also suspicious of the Iranians.

:07:52.:07:57.

Prompting that talk of a broader regional deal. Now among these are

:07:58.:08:04.

smaller nations, such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates and among

:08:05.:08:07.

them crucially is Iran's main regional rival, Saudi Arabia.

:08:08.:08:18.

Israel has settled 600,000 Jews on a shared land.

:08:19.:08:29.

Israeli right-wingers do not like President Trump's call to stop

:08:30.:08:34.

expanding settlements. They prefer his backing away from a two-state

:08:35.:08:39.

solution an independent Palestine alongside Israel. Many people on the

:08:40.:08:44.

ground believe the likeliest outcome is no solution at all. Jeremy Bowen,

:08:45.:08:46.

BBC News. President Trump's new Defence

:08:47.:08:50.

Secretary, James Mattis, has warned members of Nato that

:08:51.:08:53.

America could "moderate" its commitment to the alliance

:08:54.:08:56.

if they fail to boost defence General Mattis, speaking

:08:57.:08:58.

in Brussels, insisted that Nato was the "fundamental bedrock"

:08:59.:09:04.

of co-operation and security and he claimed Mr Trump was a strong

:09:05.:09:08.

supporter as our defence correspondent,

learning how to survive All part of reassuring allies,

:09:23.:09:25.

especially those like Norway, that share a border with a more assertive

:09:26.:09:33.

Russia. But this defence co-operation

:09:34.:09:35.

is far from guaranteed. With President Trump having

:09:36.:09:39.

questioned Nato's relevance. European allies not spending enough

:09:40.:09:45.

is an issue where you are from, some people say it's obsolete,

:09:46.:09:48.

what's your view of Nato? I think Nato has a great

:09:49.:09:55.

partnership with us. We are here today because Nato has

:09:56.:09:57.

asked us to be part of that. We are part of Nato, Nato is part

:09:58.:10:01.

of us and we're working together. Today, the new US Defence Secretary,

:10:02.:10:05.

himself a former marine, arrived at Nato's headquarters to restate

:10:06.:10:08.

that commitment but it It's a fair demand that

:10:09.:10:10.

all who benefit from the best defence in the world

:10:11.:10:13.

carry their proportionate share of the necessary

:10:14.:10:15.

cost to defend freedom. In private, General Mattis was even

:10:16.:10:22.

more blunt giving his allies He told them the US would moderate

:10:23.:10:24.

its commitment to Nato unless they set out plans

:10:25.:10:30.

to increase their defence spending America's defence budget

:10:31.:10:32.

dwarfs its European allies. The US, one of only five Nato

:10:33.:10:44.

countries including the UK, that meets the alliance's own target

:10:45.:10:49.

of spending 2% of GDP The vast majority of Nato countries

:10:50.:10:52.

are still well below that goal. Even though they all made

:10:53.:10:56.

a commitment two years ago Secretary Mattis made it very clear

:10:57.:10:59.

speaking to the Nato alliance today that the patience of the American

:11:00.:11:03.

taxpayer is now at an end. We do need to step up.

:11:04.:11:18.

General Mattis has not said what will happen if they don't. This

:11:19.:11:24.

isn't the first warning. But under President Trump allies cannot take

:11:25.:11:26.

this kind of defence support for granted.

:11:27.:11:29.

Jonathan Beale, BBC News. Live to Washington and our

:11:30.:11:34.

North America editor, Jon Sopel. What is your sense of the kind of

:11:35.:11:43.

scrutiny this administration is now under tonight? I am sure there are

:11:44.:11:47.

times when Donald Trump sits in that famous house and thinks I am the

:11:48.:11:51.

most powerle man in the world, the King of all I survey. And there are

:11:52.:11:57.

other times when he thinks I am besieged on all sides, I have

:11:58.:12:00.

quarrelling within the White House, I have Government departments that

:12:01.:12:03.

are opposing me, I have got agencies that are leaking against me, I have

:12:04.:12:08.

a hostile press, it all feels pretty unfriendly, I can't get anything

:12:09.:12:13.

done. Certainly the transition from campaigning to governing is proving

:12:14.:12:17.

far more difficult than he probably imagined. I have seen some

:12:18.:12:20.

commentators saying he is not going to last four years, he will be

:12:21.:12:23.

impeached, this is going to end in tears. I think that is a wildly

:12:24.:12:28.

premature, because the basic maths haven't changed. He has a republican

:12:29.:12:34.

House, a republican Senate. He can govern, but hasn't got off to a very

:12:35.:12:41.

rocky start, you bet it has. It seems there could be more turbulence

:12:42.:12:43.

to come. Thank you very much. The ruling body of the Church

background and analysis. Take a look at that.

:23:41.:23:44.

Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of Paris this evening

:23:45.:23:47.

to show their support for a black youth worker who claims he was raped

:23:48.:23:51.

There's been growing tension in some of the city's suburbs since the

:23:52.:23:56.

22-year-old was arrested and allegedly assaulted a fortnight ago.

:23:57.:23:58.

One police officer has been charged with rape and three

:23:59.:24:00.

But as Lucy Williamson reports from Paris, the President's appeal

:24:01.:24:04.

Anger is spreading along France's urban veins.

:24:05.:24:13.

Tonight, chants of "Police, rapists, murderers" rung out just

:24:14.:24:15.

The power of individuals, their community, the state.

:24:16.:24:25.

France has been living with it for years, but in the last fortnight

:24:26.:24:36.

the story of Theo's assault, in a rundown Paris

:24:37.:24:38.

There are long-standing divisions rising to the surface here.

:24:39.:24:41.

The deepest anger in these protests has come from different people

:24:42.:24:44.

who say they feel ignored and left behind.

:24:45.:24:46.

Who feel that the French establishment is remote

:24:47.:24:48.

and those in power abusive, corrupt and self-serving.

:24:49.:24:54.

Amateur footage of Theo's arrest shows him being taken to the car,

:24:55.:24:57.

moments after allegedly being raped with a police baton.

:24:58.:25:10.

The police watchdog last week described it as a serious accident,

:25:11.:25:12.

TRANSLATION: I haven't been able to sleep for the past five nights.

:25:13.:25:16.

The medication they give me isn't enough.

:25:17.:25:18.

They brought him here behind the wall because it's out

:25:19.:25:37.

The names of other young men who died while being chased

:25:38.:25:44.

or arrested in the suburbs north of Paris are repeated like a mantra

:25:45.:25:46.

They don't want us to express in any shape or form of protest, OK?

:25:47.:25:59.

It's not like they're here to protect us.

:26:00.:26:08.

Over the past two weeks, the protests have grown,

:26:09.:26:17.

This is no longer a case of one man, in one Paris suburb.

:26:18.:26:23.

It's a reminder of France's deep divisions, and a test of the trust

:26:24.:26:26.

Professional footballers who repeatedly head the ball

:26:27.:26:37.

during their career could be more prone to long-term brain damage.

:26:38.:26:40.

That's according to a new study which looked at the brains of six

:26:41.:26:46.

former players all known for their skills at heading the ball.

:26:47.:26:48.

They all developed a form of dementia in later

:26:49.:26:51.

The Football Association has welcomed the research.

:26:52.:26:53.

Our health editor, Hugh Pym, has been looking at the findings.

:26:54.:26:56.

Jeff Astle's heading ability was well-known,

:26:57.:27:01.

but he couldn't have imagined the long-term consequences.

:27:02.:27:04.

The West Brom and England footballer developed

:27:05.:27:07.

dementia and died in 2002, at the age of 59.

:27:08.:27:10.

A coroner said he had an industrial disease.

:27:11.:27:14.

In other words, heading a ball made a significant contribution

:27:15.:27:16.

Since then, Jeff Astle's family have campaigned for more research

:27:17.:27:24.

on the impact of heading heavy, often waterlogged

:27:25.:27:29.

I knew the day Jeff was diagnosed because why else would a man,

:27:30.:27:34.

you know, physically fit, only 55, suddenly overnight,

:27:35.:27:39.

virtually, it came on so rapidly, be diagnosed with dementia?

:27:40.:27:46.

The Astle family was told at the time by the football

:27:47.:27:49.

authorities that a research programme had been started,

:27:50.:27:52.

but it was dropped because of technical flaws.

:27:53.:27:54.

Now, 15 years on, they're angry that nothing more has been done.

:27:55.:27:58.

For too long, it's been about protecting the product

:27:59.:28:03.

of football and what it should be doing is protecting its players

:28:04.:28:06.

and I think they're terrified that if the results come out and it's

:28:07.:28:09.

shown that football could be a killer.

:28:10.:28:13.

The new study examined the brains of six former players

:28:14.:28:16.

who'd developed dementia, seen here in these images.

:28:17.:28:18.

Four had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also seen

:28:19.:28:21.

The Football Association, based here at Wembley,

:28:22.:28:28.

which covers England, said it took concerns about head

:28:29.:28:30.

It said it was committed to supporting further research

:28:31.:28:35.

which had to be seen to be independent, robust and thorough.

:28:36.:28:37.

So what does it mean for the current generation of players and is it safe

:28:38.:28:44.

The study authors make clear they're not drawing any conclusions.

:28:45.:28:49.

I think the risks in heading the football are likely to be quite

:28:50.:28:52.

low and I think that we need to engage with more research

:28:53.:28:55.

into finding out ways of making the game safer but,

:28:56.:28:58.

overall, we think playing football is a safe thing to do.

:28:59.:29:05.

But with children under 11 in the United States banned

:29:06.:29:07.

from heading a ball in practice, there's an ongoing debate

:29:08.:29:10.

about modern football and head injuries as well as the game

:29:11.:29:12.

Arsenal look almost certain to be knocked out of the Champions League

:29:13.:29:24.

after they were heavily beaten in Germany this evening.

:29:25.:29:27.

Despite scoring an away goal in tonight's first leg,

:29:28.:29:31.

Arsene Wenger's side fell apart in the second half, eventually

:29:32.:29:33.

Our correspondent, David Ornstein, was watching the match.

:29:34.:29:43.

For Arsenal a familiar stage, 14 straight years

:29:44.:29:44.

through to the Champions League knockout phase, but that is

:29:45.:29:47.

For Arsene Wenger, would this be a final tilt at European glory?

:29:48.:29:51.

The way his team started was ominous, allow Arjen Robben time

:29:52.:29:54.

and space and witness the stunning result.

:29:55.:29:56.

Arsenal barely had a kick in the opening half-hour until this

:29:57.:29:58.

poorly timed kick gave them a life line.

:29:59.:30:01.

Alexis Sanchez was denied from the spot, though

:30:02.:30:03.

It was a precious away goal, but after half-time,

:30:04.:30:14.

Robert Lewandowski rose to restore Bayern's lead and,

:30:15.:30:17.

just three minutes later, Thiago raced clear to make it 3-1.

:30:18.:30:20.

Thiago then added a fourth and the rout was completed

:30:21.:30:22.

Arsenal's European campaign, once again, in tatters

:30:23.:30:30.

and Arsene Wenger staring at a potentially defining defeat.

:30:31.:30:32.
