Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

:00:07.:00:08.

President Obama has been on on Capitol Hill today -

:00:09.:00:11.

and there's one word on everyone's lips.

:00:12.:00:19.

Donald Trump wants to ditch Barack Obama's signature signature

:00:20.:00:23.

health care policy - and he has Congress on side.

:00:24.:00:26.

But it's not going without a fight - we'll live in Washington.

:00:27.:00:29.

The UK has chosen this man - Sir Tim Farrow to be its new top

:00:30.:00:32.

The day after the current man with the job resigned.

:00:33.:00:42.

There have been protests in Tel Aviv after an Israeli soldier

:00:43.:00:45.

was convicted of manslaughter for killing a disarmed

:00:46.:00:46.

We will tell you what Benjamin Netanyahu has said about that.

:00:47.:00:54.

More videos have emerged of the shocking scenes

:00:55.:00:55.

A number of women were sexually assaulted by groups of men.

:00:56.:01:00.

We'll have the latest on the investigation.

:01:01.:01:02.

And if you want to get in touch at any point

:01:03.:01:05.

A huge political battle is playing out in Washington DC.

:01:06.:01:28.

Here's President Obama arriving on Capitol Hill earlier.

:01:29.:01:32.

He was there to talk to Democrats

:01:33.:01:37.

in Congress about trying to save his Affordable Care Act,

:01:38.:01:40.

It's a complicated law - but at its heart is a requirement

:01:41.:01:45.

for all Americans to have health insurance - and for some to get

:01:46.:01:48.

The Republicans have always hated the way it works -

:01:49.:01:56.

and now that they control Congress and soon the White House.

:01:57.:02:01.

None of this is a surprise, Donald Trump has

:02:02.:02:06.

Obamacare has to be replaced and we will do it and we will do it very,

:02:07.:02:17.

very quickly. It is a catastrophe. As well as Mr Obama,

:02:18.:02:20.

Vice President Elect, Mike Pence Reuters reports he's said

:02:21.:02:22.

the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act will evolve

:02:23.:02:33.

in the months ahead. We have the grand battle between the

:02:34.:02:53.

outgoing administration and the incoming one.

:02:54.:02:56.

They have the first part of the plan, getting rid of it but the

:02:57.:03:05.

second part is a bit more vague. It's up in the air, as Mike Pence

:03:06.:03:11.

explained, there is a twofold process that the Republicans want to

:03:12.:03:15.

do, they want Donald Trump to take executive actions to roll back the

:03:16.:03:18.

health care reform. The president has a fair amount of regular to

:03:19.:03:25.

really weigh in where the money goes and how to enforce certain mandates

:03:26.:03:28.

within the act, but then it's going to take action by Congress in order

:03:29.:03:36.

to fully pull it back. Without a clear plan, there is no clear plan

:03:37.:03:41.

yet that has been explained. Paul Ryan, the House Speaker, said that

:03:42.:03:45.

they would come up with a plan and they will not take away insurance

:03:46.:03:49.

from people who have it. That is like jumping off a bridge and then

:03:50.:03:52.

trying to figure out where you're going to land in midair. It's a

:03:53.:03:57.

risky process and the Republicans are going to try and repeal it

:03:58.:04:01.

without knowing what kind of effect it's going to have and what they

:04:02.:04:07.

will put in its place because 20 million Americans are relying on

:04:08.:04:09.

health care reform for their health insurance. We must have some clues,

:04:10.:04:15.

they've been critical of Obamacare from day one, the Republicans don't

:04:16.:04:20.

believe in netting the poorer people in society go without, they just

:04:21.:04:24.

want to do it a different way, right? There are some different

:04:25.:04:34.

ideas, congressmen Price came up with a fairly detailed plan which

:04:35.:04:38.

involves doing away with the mandate that all Americans must buy

:04:39.:04:43.

insurance and instead putting high risk individuals with pre-existing

:04:44.:04:47.

conditions or serious conditions in high risk groups that are subsidised

:04:48.:04:50.

by the government but that still takes money. Also the idea that

:04:51.:04:56.

Republicans have time and time again put forward the idea of health

:04:57.:05:01.

savings accounts, putting money away tax-free that you can use to pay for

:05:02.:05:05.

health care expenses, the kind of way we do retirement in the states,

:05:06.:05:13.

with the 401 K plans, so the ideas are out there but we don't know

:05:14.:05:16.

which ones they will pick. Donald Trump has said there are some

:05:17.:05:20.

portions of health care reform that he likes such as the pre-existing

:05:21.:05:24.

condition coverage, allowing young people to stay on their parents'

:05:25.:05:31.

insurance but they require certain trade-offs and that must be spelt

:05:32.:05:36.

out in new legislation. I get why President Obama is putting in the

:05:37.:05:39.

time now, he spent so much time getting the act through but in

:05:40.:05:45.

reality, his visits to Capitol Hill Cavani do so much? True, he said he

:05:46.:05:51.

regretted not being able to be there and fight alongside them because the

:05:52.:05:56.

battle is going to be in Congress, especially the Senate, where there

:05:57.:06:02.

are 48 Democrats, they can block a lot of these provisions, they have

:06:03.:06:07.

the filibuster they can use to prevent any kind of Republican plan

:06:08.:06:11.

being enacted. Obama said, don't let Republicans off the hook, they will

:06:12.:06:16.

own it and the Democrats can back him up. Thank you for joining us.

:06:17.:06:23.

Building up to January the 20th, when Donald Trump takes over.

:06:24.:06:27.

Yesterday the UK's top diplomat in Brussels resigned.

:06:28.:06:29.

All of this is happening ahead of the start of Brexit negotiations -

:06:30.:06:51.

which we're expecting in March or April.

:06:52.:06:55.

This is not long after the UK triggers the end of Article 50.

:06:56.:07:00.

Sir Tim Barrow was the political director at the Foreign Office.

:07:01.:07:04.

For his part Sir Ivan Rogers sent an email to staff

:07:05.:07:08.

Didn't need to be a code breaker to see his targets.

:07:09.:07:29.

Those of you in the UK know that Whitehall is the base of the UK

:07:30.:07:37.

civil servants. The sentiment was seconded by one of the EU's main

:07:38.:07:41.

Brexit negotiators, Guy Verhofstadt. Here's Damian Grammaticus

:07:42.:07:54.

in Brussels on how all The criticism in the UK was that Sir

:07:55.:08:06.

Ivan Rogers had allowed his personal feelings perhaps to get in the way.

:08:07.:08:11.

Here that view I think is this counted. The European Commission

:08:12.:08:16.

came out today and also said, "We regret the loss of a very

:08:17.:08:18.

professional and knowledgeable diplomat who always loyally defended

:08:19.:08:26.

the interests of his government." Sir Ivan Rogers was in Brussels and

:08:27.:08:29.

spent all his time over the last couple of years negotiating for

:08:30.:08:33.

David Cameron as British Prime Minister with the other 27

:08:34.:08:40.

countries. What Guy Verhofstadt seems to have said is that he was a

:08:41.:08:45.

loyal defender, not a pro-EU figure, they found him a tough person

:08:46.:08:49.

advocating UK interests. Decoding this, they are saying that the

:08:50.:08:55.

criticism from the UK is unfair. Explain the role that this

:08:56.:08:57.

ambassador plays between the European Union and its powerful

:08:58.:09:05.

figures and the UK Government. Good question and it is a very important

:09:06.:09:10.

role because the ambassadors from the 28 countries here here, they are

:09:11.:09:15.

cold the permanent representatives, they sit here and they do the heavy

:09:16.:09:22.

lifting, the hard work on everything that must be agreed between the EU

:09:23.:09:28.

countries, whether its sanctions on Russia, issues about fish quotas and

:09:29.:09:35.

trading, whatever issues the EU is facing. They thrash it out around

:09:36.:09:40.

the table among the 28, they get to and understanding if they can and

:09:41.:09:43.

then the ministers and leaders arrive in town to tie up the final

:09:44.:09:47.

details and sign off on the new agreement. They really are in the

:09:48.:09:56.

front van der Garde -- vanguard of countries advancing their interests.

:09:57.:10:00.

They then go back to their home countries, Sir Ivan would do this

:10:01.:10:03.

every week, to deliver the message to London, this is the thinking,

:10:04.:10:08.

from the other countries. Something else that was pointed out, so Ivan

:10:09.:10:12.

Rogers had three years of experience, building up good

:10:13.:10:15.

contacts and a good working knowledge and that has to be

:10:16.:10:19.

replaced with a new figure, Sir Tim Barrow, one of the most senior

:10:20.:10:26.

diplomats in the UK. We are one hour of international news from the BBC

:10:27.:10:30.

newsroom. We've reported from Brussels and Washington, DC. Next,

:10:31.:10:31.

Israel. A military court in Tel Aviv has

:10:32.:10:34.

convicted this Israeli He shot dead a wounded Palestinian

:10:35.:10:36.

man in Hebron last March. This video was crucial

:10:37.:10:41.

to the conviction. You can see the soldier circled in

:10:42.:10:53.

red, cocking his rifle. The man in blue was shot. He was called Abdul

:10:54.:10:58.

Fatah al-Sharif. A few minutes earlier,

:10:59.:11:01.

a soldier had been stabbed by Abdul Fatah Sharif

:11:02.:11:03.

and one other man. Israeli troops had then

:11:04.:11:05.

shot both of them - killing the other man,

:11:06.:11:07.

and wounding Sharif. Sergeant Azaria told the court

:11:08.:11:09.

thought there might be a suicide belt under

:11:10.:11:12.

Abdul Fatah Sharif's jacket. Three military judges

:11:13.:11:15.

saw it differently. In the last couple hours,

:11:16.:11:39.

the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reacted to the verdict

:11:40.:11:41.

on his facebook site. The Prime Minister calling for a

:11:42.:11:51.

pardon, the judges have said that the soldier shot dead someone on the

:11:52.:11:56.

floor who represented no immediate threat to the accused. We now have

:11:57.:12:00.

more on this story and the reaction. The family of Abdul Fatah al-Sharif

:12:01.:12:08.

as did Israeli human rights groups. There have been politicians talking

:12:09.:12:14.

about this, the defence Minister had spoken before taking up his current

:12:15.:12:24.

role, in support of Sergeant Azaria calling for public restraint, saying

:12:25.:12:29.

that this was a difficult verdict. Does the soldier have any option to

:12:30.:12:35.

appeal? Certainly after the sentencing which will be at a later

:12:36.:12:40.

date, the Sergeant has the option to appeal and legal experts we've

:12:41.:12:44.

spoken to expect him to appeal in this case. The defence argued that

:12:45.:12:50.

the panel of three military judges, as they delivered their verdict,

:12:51.:12:54.

overlooked some important aspects of their arguments. In this case, the

:12:55.:13:01.

maximum penalty for manslaughter is 20 years but it has been suggested

:13:02.:13:09.

to me that Sergeant Azaria would be sentenced to a much shorter time in

:13:10.:13:14.

jail, perhaps five years. Now, as we're hearing, more calls from

:13:15.:13:17.

Israeli politicians for him to pardoned.

:13:18.:13:19.

As well as Obamacare, US intelligence officials have been

:13:20.:13:21.

Peter Rook to Twitter earlier, -- he took to Twitter earlier, ain't... --

:13:22.:13:33.

saying... According to an anonymous official

:13:34.:13:41.

who spoke to a number they say the briefing

:13:42.:13:45.

was always slated for Friday. We can't know - but either way -

:13:46.:13:50.

this is less about one meeting, more about a tense relationship

:13:51.:13:54.

between the incoming president and the people charged

:13:55.:13:56.

with keeping him informed And right in the middle

:13:57.:13:58.

of all of this is John Brennan. He's head of the Central

:13:59.:14:04.

Intelligence Agency, the CIA, and he's given an interview to PBS

:14:05.:14:08.

Newshour. In it he talks about those Russia

:14:09.:14:10.

hacking allegations. There is no intelligence Kameni T

:14:11.:14:22.

World Wide Web as -- intelligence community worldwide who has the same

:14:23.:14:26.

ability as the US intelligence community so I'd suggest to those

:14:27.:14:29.

individuals who haven't seen the report, not been briefed on it, that

:14:30.:14:35.

they wait and see what it is that the intelligence community is

:14:36.:14:37.

putting forward before they make those judgments. We expect more

:14:38.:14:40.

details in time from the CIA. One of the key allegations is that

:14:41.:14:43.

Russia hacked Democratic Party emails and gave them to Wikileaks

:14:44.:14:48.

which published them, all of which was designed

:14:49.:14:50.

to hurt Hillary Clinton. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has

:14:51.:14:53.

spoken to Fox News and denied that He is accusing the Obama

:14:54.:15:07.

administration of making those allegations to try to delegitimise

:15:08.:15:09.

the Trump administration. John Brennan on Julian Assange. It isn't

:15:10.:15:16.

a Bastian of truth and integrity and therefore I wouldn't say that it is

:15:17.:15:25.

providing the whole truth. This report is going to include what it

:15:26.:15:32.

is we know about what happened, what was collected, what was disclosed

:15:33.:15:33.

with the purpose and intent... Different narratives about what is

:15:34.:15:47.

happening and what happened in the campaign. We are also going to talk

:15:48.:15:53.

about Rex Tillerson, the man Donald Trump would like to be his secretary

:15:54.:15:58.

of state. Firstly, Rex Tillerson have two separate himself from his

:15:59.:16:03.

job as the Chief Executive of Exxon Mobil. We're getting details about

:16:04.:16:07.

how that's going to work and that will come up in a few minutes.

:16:08.:16:11.

Four men have appeared in court charged in connection

:16:12.:16:13.

with the deaths of two young cousins in Oldham in Greater Manchester.

:16:14.:16:24.

Helina Kotlarova, who was 12, and 11-year-old Zaneta Krokova,

:16:25.:16:26.

Our correspondent, Dominic Hughes, who's in Oldham, has been

:16:27.:16:32.

Four have been charged, Gabor Hegedus, 38 from Oldham has

:16:33.:16:40.

been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous

:16:41.:16:43.

driving, conspiracy to convert the course of justice,

:16:44.:16:46.

driving without a licence, failing to stop after a collision

:16:47.:16:49.

Three other men, David Orsos, 18, Janos Kalanyos, 50

:16:50.:17:00.

charged with conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice.

:17:01.:17:05.

After an appearance this afternoon, all four and have been remanded

:17:06.:17:08.

President Obama has been at Capitol Hill attempting

:17:23.:17:31.

The incoming Republicans in Congress and the White House say they want to

:17:32.:17:41.

get rid of it. Stories from the BBC World Service.

:17:42.:17:44.

BBC Turkish reports that Turkey's president has

:17:45.:17:48.

made his first speech since the New Years Eve

:17:49.:17:50.

Recep Tayip Erdogan said the attack as a deliberate attempt

:17:51.:17:54.

Saying it should be pushed back against.

:17:55.:18:00.

Almost 300 tonnes of oil has spilled into Malaysian and Singaporean

:18:01.:18:03.

waters after a collision between two container ships.

:18:04.:18:05.

The accident happened in the port of Pasir Gudang

:18:06.:18:07.

Local officials say the spill is under control.

:18:08.:18:14.

There are multiple reports in the US that the Mass murderer and cult

:18:15.:18:17.

leader Charles Manson has been taken to hospital from the prison

:18:18.:18:20.

Authorities have simply stated that he's alive.

:18:21.:18:31.

Rex Tillerson, the man Donald Trump has picked

:18:32.:18:35.

to be his Scretary of State, has started to reveal how

:18:36.:18:38.

he will separate himself form his current role,

:18:39.:18:43.

Sanaa Husein joins us. I guess this is going to evolve quite a lot of

:18:44.:18:58.

money? It is, it will involve about $180 million. Rex Tillerson was up

:18:59.:19:04.

all mandatory retirement in March but now because of this appointment

:19:05.:19:14.

as Secretary of State, to sever his ties he's going to be selling some

:19:15.:19:19.

600,000 shares that he owns with Exxon Mobil. He would get them as a

:19:20.:19:26.

result of retiring. He will get them in cash from the company but it will

:19:27.:19:30.

be put into an independent trust that will be managed by someone who

:19:31.:19:35.

is independent. He will be able to use that when he is no longer the US

:19:36.:19:41.

secretary of state. Interestingly, he has promised not to work in the

:19:42.:19:48.

oil and Gas UK for the next ten years and if he violates that in

:19:49.:19:55.

anyway, the person adjudicating Canon take the money and give it to

:19:56.:20:01.

the charity of his choosing. -- can take the money. Have these measures

:20:02.:20:09.

announced by Rex Tillerson and Exxon Mobile satisfied people on the

:20:10.:20:16.

issue? There are a few issues, he is the first of the appointees to make

:20:17.:20:18.

any announcements about severing their ties. This is not the only

:20:19.:20:25.

appointment that Mr Trump has made that has strong business ties. It

:20:26.:20:29.

has set quite a high bar. The question is, what are other people

:20:30.:20:32.

going to do in terms of separating that? When it comes to Mr Tillerson

:20:33.:20:38.

himself, with regards to business interests he has separated himself

:20:39.:20:42.

but there are concerns about his ties to Russia in that he was

:20:43.:20:49.

someone who went against the sanctions against Russia and has

:20:50.:20:52.

been called a friend by the country and Vladimir Putin. When it comes to

:20:53.:20:57.

confirmation, he's going to get a pretty rough ride from colleagues on

:20:58.:21:04.

Capitol Hill. Interesting, thank you. I just saw on Twitter, as well

:21:05.:21:09.

as a press conference by Donald Trump scheduled for January the 11,

:21:10.:21:14.

so are the confirmation hearings for Rex Tillerson in a few days' time.

:21:15.:21:21.

Next, the consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas which hasn't started in

:21:22.:21:26.

Nevada. We're going to look at virtual reality with the help of

:21:27.:21:34.

Chris Foxx. You normally think of headsets but here are some boots.

:21:35.:21:38.

The latest virtual reality innovation, virtual reality issues.

:21:39.:21:46.

By Mark King on sand, crunchy, very weird -- I'm walking. If you have

:21:47.:21:55.

ever shared a headset and worried about hygiene, maybe these aren't

:21:56.:21:59.

for you. Now I'm going to step in a puddle. Let's see what these are

:22:00.:22:04.

like. Oh, that's quite convincing for a vibration. Let's take that

:22:05.:22:10.

off. Why would somebody want virtual reality issues? To have a more

:22:11.:22:15.

immersive experience, walking along a dangerous, narrow bridge and you

:22:16.:22:21.

feel like it is creaking and almost broken, it gives a more ex--- a

:22:22.:22:26.

better experience. You must already wear a headset and sometimes you

:22:27.:22:30.

have controllers in your hands, now you want to wear shoes, is that too

:22:31.:22:36.

much gear for a video game? We can see where a product may be used in a

:22:37.:22:40.

specific place for some industries to get a better experience. Like an

:22:41.:22:47.

arcade? Sure. Would somebody like to share somebody else's shoes? We are

:22:48.:22:52.

thinking you can wear socks and you don't have to worry, won't be a big

:22:53.:23:01.

problem. You can see what we are producing for CES on the BBC

:23:02.:23:03.

website. Report now from Smitha Mundasad

:23:04.:23:05.

on a campaign in the UK to make sure people have the first aid skills

:23:06.:23:08.

to help in the aftermath Before I play it, I should

:23:09.:23:11.

say the report contains What you see next

:23:12.:23:14.

is a reconstruction. But security officials

:23:15.:23:17.

say the terror threat in the UK is high and,

:23:18.:23:32.

despite their best efforts, Many people could be

:23:33.:23:34.

hurt in the chaos. The problem is, it may take some

:23:35.:23:42.

time for help to arrive. Police and security forces have

:23:43.:23:46.

to deal with terrorists first, making sure it's safe,

:23:47.:23:50.

before paramedics can come in. And in that time,

:23:51.:23:52.

lives could be lost. The first responders to that

:23:53.:23:57.

incident from a police perspective will inevitably be trying to deal

:23:58.:24:01.

with the people causing the threat. They won't have time to help people

:24:02.:24:05.

who may have been injured. And we know that that gap is vital

:24:06.:24:09.

for saving people's lives. So we're really, really interested

:24:10.:24:13.

in the work of Citizen Aid. There's a gunman in the street,

:24:14.:24:16.

three people have been shot. The experts behind Citizen Aid say

:24:17.:24:24.
