An extraordinary new claim by President Trump - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
he accuses Barack Obama of ordering the tapping of his phones. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Mr Trump claims it took place during the US election campaign | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
He compares it to Watergate, calling the former president | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Mr Obama said the claim was "simply false". | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
He's denied ordering any phone taps during his presidency. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
The election yesterday was a water shed election. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Sinn Fein celebrate their best ever showing in elections | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
And Sir Andy Murray claims another trophy, as he wins | :00:40. | :00:53. | |
the Dubai Championships for the first time. | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
Donald Trump has accused Barack Obama of having his phones | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
at Trump Tower in New York tapped, during last year's | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
In a series of messages on social media, President Trump called | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Mr Obama a "sick man" and compared the alleged bugging | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
A spokesman for Mr Obama said claims that he had ordered | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
surveillance of any US citizen were "simply false". | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Our North America correspondent, Nick Byrant, reports. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
It was warm hand shakes and friendly bonami E.On inauguration day as | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
Donald Trump took power from Barack Obama. Two men, fiercely hostile | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
during the election campaign, coming together in a show of presidential | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
and personal civility. Early this morning, Donald Trump launched the | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
kind of public attack on a predecessor that in modern times is | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
completely without precedent. Terrible, he wrote in a Twitter | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
tirade. Just found out that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower, | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarnalingyism. How | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
-- McCarthyism. This is Nixon/water gait. Bad or sick guy. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
A pro-Trump rally outside his tower in New York, a skyscraper that | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Donald Trump claims was a crime scene. But he made these explosive | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
accusations without offering any proof or saying whether they came | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
from intelligence briefings or from reading reports on a right-wing | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
website, bright Bart news. It's extraordinary for a President to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
level these kind of accusations against anyone, let alone his | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
predecessor, without citing any evidence. A key former aide of | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Barack Obama has shot back at Mr Trump. No President can order a | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
wiretap, he says. These restrictions were put in place to protect | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
citizens from people like you. During last year's campaign, the FBI | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
opened an investigation still ongoing looking at potential links | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
between them and the Russians. Jeff Sessions faces calls for his | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
resignation for not disclosing meetings he had with the ambassador. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
And Michael Flynn had to resign last month because of conversations about | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
US sanctions against the Kremlin with the same ambassador. We will | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
have made America greater than ever before. Donald Trump began this week | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
with a widely praised speech on Capitol Hill, that was supposed to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
reset his presidency. But this is a speedy return to the kind of angry | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
attacks that many think are far from presidential. | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Nick is outside Trump Tower in New York tonight. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
As you said in your report, we are getting used to extraordinary | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
statements from this President. But how surprised have people been by | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
this one? The President of the United States of the America has | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
just called his predecessor sick and bad and worth dwelling on that | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
language, because we've never heard anything like it before. Although | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
the White House hasn't come up with any evidence to back that claim up, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
nor has it said where the allegations have come from, which | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
heightens suspicion that he was reacting act Rhyl to a news report | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
an a right-wing website. It raises questions about his temperament. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
We're saying Barack Obama's response was very restrained in comparison. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
It raises questions about his judgment. It shows he's prepared to | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
trash one of the unwritten conventions of American politics, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
which is this: American Presidents, past and present, do not launch | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
highly personalised attacks on each other. This is an exclusive | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
President's club, it's surprisingly chumming. One of the reasons why is | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the people who've occupied the White House have such a high regard, a | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
high respect for the office of the presidency. Donald Trump's | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
signalling, he isn't bound by those conventions. Nick, thank you. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Sinn Fein are celebrating their best ever showing in elections | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
They've won 27 seats, just one less than the Democratic Unionists. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Sinn Fein's Ppesident, Gerry Adams, said it was a watershed election | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
and the end to a permanent unionist majority in Northern Ireland. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
The two parties now have three weeks to agree | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
From Belfast, Chris Buckler reports. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
Sinn Fein believe they have changed the political picture | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
If this election was a battle in the long fight between | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
unionism and nationalism, they are claiming victory. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Clearly, the unionist majority in the Assembly has been ended | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
and the notion of a permanent or perpetual unionist majority | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
The DUP are still Stormont's biggest party, but they could only | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
watch as republicans ate into their sizeable lead | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
from the last election, just ten months ago. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Many voters were motivated by the harsh words of the campaign. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
At one stage, the DUP compared republicans to crocodiles. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
In order to go back into government, Sinn Fein are calling | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
for Arlene Foster to step aside as First Minister, while a public | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
inquiry takes place into a financial scandal, linked to a botched | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
It's a demand that's angered Mrs Foster's party. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Now we've got to pick up the pieces after having a brutal election, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
and I think that the party which has got most to be concerned about, | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
as to how it repairs the damage, is Sinn Fein. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
For so long the big beast of politics here, unionism is facing | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Just months ago, they seemed to be working together, | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
but in unionist East Belfast, where the CS Lewis square has been | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
built in honour of the author's mythical tales of battle, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
there is concern about what's emerging. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Our whole government system is not working | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
for the people who need it, right, because they're up | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
there squabbling over very little, to be honest. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Republicans are out again in force, so they are. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
We should get off our backsides, get out and vote now. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Once hailed as the champion of unionism, a statue | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
of Edward Carson stands outside Stormont. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Today his political successors feel on their guard, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
and no-one is sure if a deal to restore power sharing | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
The French carmaker, which owns Peugeot and Citroen, | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
is reported to have reached an agreement to buy Vauxhall | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
An official announcement is due on Monday, but talk of a deal has | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
raised concerns about the future of Vauxhall's two UK factories | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
More than 4,000 people are employed across the two sites. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Our business correspondent, Joe Lynam, reports. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
This Vauxhall plant is one of the more efficient car-making | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
66% of the vehicles made here are exported, mostly to Europe. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
But the workers here may have new bosses from Monday, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
when it's likely the company that the company which makes Peugeot | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
cars, PSA, confirms it's bought Vauxhall and Opel. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
But with too many factories in Europe and not enough demand, | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
PSA is likely to have a long, hard look at which plants to keep | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
open and that puts Vauxhall under the microscope. | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Vauxhall employs just under 2,000 staff in its Ellesmere Port | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
The whole area, the whole plant's really worried. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Because it's going to affect a lot of jobs | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
There's nothing here, is there, if Vauxhall goes. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Its van-making factory in Luton employs 1,400 people. | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
I'm optimistic about the future of this plant, here in Luton, | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
but really, the prospects of car manufacturing in the UK will come | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
down to the kind of deal we get out of Brexit. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
In all, Vauxhall makes just under 200,000 cars a year. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
PSA has capacity to build more cars in its own plants. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
It doesn't need these plants in Britain, and, of course, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
there are obstacles in the way with currency fluctuations, | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
the problems posed by Brexit with freedom of movement, | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
freedom of movement of parts as well. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
The Government says it is cautiously optimistic that it will be able | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
to limit the job losses as a result of this deal, possibly by providing | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
the kind of assurances it gave to Nissan in Sunderland. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
We don't know what those assurances are for sure, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
but there are quite a few British-based car makers that | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Only this week, Nissan said it now needs ?100 million to support car | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
BMW said it might make battery-powered Minis | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
in Germany instead of Britain, and Ford looks like it | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
could be shedding more than 1,000 jobs in Wales. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
So the pressure will mount on Theresa May to support | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
the automotive sector at the very time she will be in intensive talks | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
The prime minister of Somalia says over 100 people from a drought-hit | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
region in the country have died of hunger in the past two days. | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
The drought was declared a national disaster on Tuesday, | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
and the United Nations estimates that five million people | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
Thousands have made their way to the capital in search of food. | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
Tens of thousands of people have marched in London to protest | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
at what they say are cuts to NHS services. Hospital staff, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
campaigners and union representatives joined | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
the demonstration, with the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Organisers claim Theresa May's demands on austerity in the NHS | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
represent a real risk to patients and safety, but the Department | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
of Health says extra money is being invested. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has announced | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
that he will visit Moscow in the coming weeks, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
in an attempt to improve relations with Russia. | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
It will be the first such trip by a British Minister for five years. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, is here. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
What do we know about what the Foreign Secretary hopes to achieve. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
It's very simple, he wants to improve Britain's relationship with | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
Russia. At the moment it's poor. The fact that he'll be first Foreign | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Secretary in five years going to Russia illustrates that fact. In the | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
last few months, we had this astonishing war of words. Boris | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Johnson has accused the Russians of war crimes in Syria, calling for a | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
demonstration outside the Russian embassy in London. He's insisted | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
there should be no relaxation of sanctions against Ukraine and so on. | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
In response the Russian embassy has mocked Mr Johnson and said he's | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
trying to start a new Cold War. They want to get things back on a more | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
level playing field. I think, the Foreign Office are making it clear, | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
this is not a reset. This is not the UK changing policy or cosying up to | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Moscow. They say he will be robust about those areas where the UK | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
disagrees with Russia, whether it's Ukraine or Syria. What's changed is | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
this: President Trump has started talking about engaging with Russia. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
And the Russian-backed leader in Syria is still in place. I think in | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
that context the UK has to have a more, a less dysfunctional | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
relationship with Russia. Thank you. With all the sport, here's | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes Sir Andy Murray has won his first | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
tournament of 2017. He beat Fernando Verdasco | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
in straight sets to win the Dubai Championship | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
and extend his lead at the top The Dubai Tennis Championship's | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
trophy is certainly one for a collector of Andy Murray's | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
distinction. Competed for under the gaze | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
of the Sheikh and started with a haze of breaks, | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
one blurring into another. First Fernando Verdasco | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
forced things his way, then Murray steadied himself, | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
adjusted and heaved the set more It soon became clear | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
Verdasco had lost something. First set Murray's in | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
just over half an hour. And yet the world number one had | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
rarely been at his best. Just as the Spaniard | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
thought he had the point, Get back soon, or | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
you'll miss the end. The Persian Gulf between | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
the players clear to see. But for Murray's coaches, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
victory comes at a cost. The team puts in a lot of hard work | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
as well to help me perform and in these competitions, | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
so I appreciate all of their help. We actually had an agreement | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
that if I won this week On court it's still about | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
lifting, not falling. Another trophy, | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
