Hello I'm Ros Atkins. Welcome to Outside source. The first stop is

:00:07.:00:13.

Washington. The US Senate is grilling Jeff sessions, the man

:00:14.:00:16.

Donald Trump wants to be the next US Attorney-General. This is the live

:00:17.:00:20.

feed from the Senate. We are six-and-a-half hours into the

:00:21.:00:22.

session. We've been listening to all of. It we'll tell you the most

:00:23.:00:28.

significant moments. In Tehran, hundreds of thousands of

:00:29.:00:33.

mourners paid their respect to the former Iranian president Akbar

:00:34.:00:39.

Hashemi Rafsanjani. We will play this report from Ivory Coast of

:00:40.:00:43.

chimps showing a huge degree of intelligence when it comes to

:00:44.:00:51.

finding water. Volkswagen is saying it has a concrete draft for a

:00:52.:00:54.

multibillion dollar settlement with the US government over the emissions

:00:55.:00:58.

cheating scandal. We're live in New York with details on that.

:00:59.:01:15.

This is senator Jeff sessions. Donald Trump would like him to be US

:01:16.:01:26.

Attorney-General. This is in the middle of his confirmation hearing.

:01:27.:01:30.

It's been going on for hours and hours, six-and-a-half to be precise.

:01:31.:01:34.

It has covered an extraordinary range of issues. We'll work through

:01:35.:01:38.

some of the most important ones in the next few minutes. There have

:01:39.:01:45.

been protests too. The hearing has been inrupted

:01:46.:01:50.

several times. That may be because Mr Sessions is seen as one of the

:01:51.:01:53.

most conservative members of the Senate. Some Americans don't like

:01:54.:01:56.

the idea of him being their Attorney-General. He's been

:01:57.:02:00.

questioned on a huge number of positions he holds on a variety of

:02:01.:02:05.

issues. Let's work through some of those now. The BBC's Anthony Zirka

:02:06.:02:11.

is in Washington. First of all, we've heard this extraordinary

:02:12.:02:14.

situation of Mr Sessions being quizzed on whether he's a racist or

:02:15.:02:20.

not. Right, absolutely. The racism issue has been hanging over

:02:21.:02:25.

Sessions' head since he was nominated. His nomination back in

:02:26.:02:30.

1986 to be a federal judge was derailed because he made racially

:02:31.:02:35.

insensitive comments and jokes and so now people are looking at this as

:02:36.:02:40.

perhaps an opportunity to rehash those racism issues. Actually that

:02:41.:02:44.

was brought out fairly early on in his opening statements. He condemned

:02:45.:02:49.

the KKK said he wasn't a racist, tried to tout his record on civil

:02:50.:02:55.

rights, on prosecuting Ku Klux Klan member when he was a local state

:02:56.:03:04.

attorney and he had could quay with -- kcolloquay about how it was

:03:05.:03:07.

difficult to dole with the issues of racism and he may not have responded

:03:08.:03:11.

in the best way earlier in his career, but he's learned from his

:03:12.:03:14.

mistakes. They're trying to diffuse this. They knew this would be a key

:03:15.:03:18.

angle of criticism going forward. We've pulled out various clips from

:03:19.:03:21.

the hearing. We'll play them and get you to respond to them. This is

:03:22.:03:25.

senator Sessions being asked about Donald Trump's idea a temporary ban

:03:26.:03:32.

on Muslims entering the US. I have no belief and do not support the

:03:33.:03:38.

idea that Muslims as a religious group should be denied admission to

:03:39.:03:42.

the United States. We have great Muslim citizens who've contributed

:03:43.:03:45.

in so many different ways and America, as I said in my remarks at

:03:46.:03:52.

the occasion that we discussed in committee, are great believers in

:03:53.:03:55.

religious freedom and the right of people to exercise their religious

:03:56.:03:59.

beliefs. That's not what Donald Trump was saying on the campaign

:04:00.:04:04.

trail. No, that's not what he was saying in December of 2015, at

:04:05.:04:08.

least. Donald Trump has modulated his position as Jeff sessions noted,

:04:09.:04:14.

to not an all-out Muslim ban, but intense scrutiny of people coming

:04:15.:04:19.

over from countries that have a history of terrorism relations,

:04:20.:04:23.

terrorism activity. Though it was interesting that Jeff sessions did

:04:24.:04:28.

say that immigration officials can look at a person's religion to see

:04:29.:04:36.

if it's conducive to public safety. There's a little bit of wriggle room

:04:37.:04:40.

even in the comments we heard today. Let's talk about abortion. It's t

:04:41.:04:48.

was inevitable it came up. Mr Sessions described a landmark

:04:49.:04:53.

Supreme Court ruling as colossally erroneous. He was asked if that was

:04:54.:04:59.

still his view? . It is. I believe it violated the constitution and

:05:00.:05:04.

really attempted to set policy and not follow law. It is the law of the

:05:05.:05:08.

land. It has been so established and settled for quite a long time. It

:05:09.:05:12.

deserves respect and I would respect it and follow it. As such, should we

:05:13.:05:19.

expect Mr Trump to attempt a fundamental shift in America's

:05:20.:05:22.

position on abortion? I don't think so. I don't think Donald Trump,

:05:23.:05:28.

well, he's said different things during the campaign. He said women

:05:29.:05:32.

could be prosecuted for having abortions if it were illegal. Other

:05:33.:05:36.

times he backed away from that. I don't think we'll see a fundamental

:05:37.:05:41.

shift. From Jeff Sessions and other people Donald Trump is appointed,

:05:42.:05:44.

we'll see attempts to chip away at the edges of abortion rights to

:05:45.:05:48.

limit the amount of time a woman can have an abortion from say 24 weeks

:05:49.:05:54.

of pregnancy down to 20 weeks of pregnancy, perhaps limiting

:05:55.:05:56.

different hospitals can perform abortions, what clinics, the

:05:57.:06:00.

requirements on clinics to be able to have abortions. There have been

:06:01.:06:05.

Supreme Court decisions in the past that have tried uphold the abortion

:06:06.:06:09.

rights. Donald Trump if he poise a Supreme Court justice who is as

:06:10.:06:12.

strongly against abortion rights, we could see those policies change as

:06:13.:06:17.

well. The next clip I've got and those of you just joining us, we're

:06:18.:06:22.

running through some of the most significant moments as senator

:06:23.:06:26.

Sessions goes through a hearing ahead of his being appointed as

:06:27.:06:30.

Attorney-General. He was asked about an incident where Mr Trump was

:06:31.:06:35.

caught on tape boasting about grabbing women by the genitals. Mr

:06:36.:06:40.

Sessions said he wouldn't characterise that as sexual assault,

:06:41.:06:45.

previously. The confusion about the question was hypothetical. And it

:06:46.:06:48.

related to what was said on the tape. I did not remember at the time

:06:49.:07:03.

whether this was suggested to be an unaccepted, unwanted, it would

:07:04.:07:06.

certainly meet the definition. That's what the tapes said, then

:07:07.:07:13.

that would be - My question is grabbing a woman by a genitals

:07:14.:07:16.

without consent, is that sexual assault? Yes. Thank you. A range of

:07:17.:07:22.

difficult questions. Nonetheless, you wouldn't bet against Mr Sessions

:07:23.:07:26.

becoming the Attorney-General, would you? No, I think it would be hard to

:07:27.:07:31.

bet against that, because everything that happened today, it looks like

:07:32.:07:40.

Sessions' raurt support is -- Republican Party support is strong.

:07:41.:07:44.

It takes just 50 votes to confirm him. One Democrat, of West Virginia,

:07:45.:07:51.

has come out in support. It would have to be a pretty sizeable swing

:07:52.:07:56.

erosion of Republican support for him not to be confirmed. There is no

:07:57.:07:59.

indication of that happening any time today. Thank you very much. No

:08:00.:08:06.

doubt we'll talk tomorrow. That's one major story we've been

:08:07.:08:09.

covering in the news room. Let's turn to another. Let me show you

:08:10.:08:14.

some of the pictures coming in of the funeral of Iran's former

:08:15.:08:23.

president. First of all, this is the country's Supreme Leader leading

:08:24.:08:25.

funeral prayers at Tehran University. You can see Iran's

:08:26.:08:31.

current president next to him. The coffin was carried out of the

:08:32.:08:37.

university campus with with his famous white cleric's turban on top.

:08:38.:08:40.

I'm sure you'll recognise that. Then these were the extraordinary scenes

:08:41.:08:44.

outside, hundreds and hundreds of thousands, some people estimated up

:08:45.:08:47.

to two million people, came out to pay their respects. His body was

:08:48.:08:54.

buried next to the founder of the Islamic Republic. There was only one

:08:55.:08:59.

person to speak to about this, the BBC's Lyse Doucet.

:09:00.:09:06.

I attended the funeral, the last major funeral in Iran, in ayatollah

:09:07.:09:19.

Khamenhi in 1989. This is the most significant death since then. It's

:09:20.:09:23.

been widely discussioned as a possible political turning point in

:09:24.:09:26.

Iran. I was going to ask you about that. It's a day of mourning, is it

:09:27.:09:31.

also a day of politics? Very much so. There's a lot of reporting about

:09:32.:09:36.

the fact that state television carrying extraordinary images live,

:09:37.:09:39.

some 2. 5 million people are said to have turned out from right across

:09:40.:09:44.

the political spectrum. Yet mixed in with the lamentation, opposition

:09:45.:09:48.

slogans went up into the crowds and the state television tried to reduce

:09:49.:09:54.

the sounds, raise the sound of the chanting to somehow try to hide the

:09:55.:09:58.

fact that some of the opposition groups that were there were trying

:09:59.:10:02.

to dominate the sound from the crowds. Everyone found their own

:10:03.:10:08.

moment in the crowds today. Interesting reading the obituaries

:10:09.:10:13.

in the western press. A lot have warmed to him in recent years. He's

:10:14.:10:19.

a unique character who played a awe neeck role in Iran. You hear the

:10:20.:10:24.

bitterness being expressed by some people who remember him in the early

:10:25.:10:27.

years of the revolution. He's the man who is identified with the

:10:28.:10:31.

repressive rule, responsible, they say, for the deaths of many

:10:32.:10:35.

dissidents, deaths never resolved. In later years, particularly the

:10:36.:10:40.

younger generation and the middle classes warmed to him. They saw him

:10:41.:10:45.

as a man who had both the credentials and the cloud and the

:10:46.:10:48.

courage to speak out. He could speak truth to power and who is powerful

:10:49.:10:52.

in the Islamic Republic? The Supreme Leader. Interests how he said we had

:10:53.:11:03.

our differences, but they were the last two big pillars of the

:11:04.:11:07.

revolution. I must take the opportunity to mesh together our two

:11:08.:11:10.

lead stories. Huge political change in Washington. Political moments of

:11:11.:11:14.

great significance in Tehran. How do you foresee those two cities, those

:11:15.:11:18.

two governments operating alongside each other? It's interesting because

:11:19.:11:22.

now everyone is looking at the legacy of Barack Obama. There are

:11:23.:11:25.

many things which he did not do. One of the things he did do was this

:11:26.:11:30.

landmark nuclear deal. In Iran there is real unease about what's going to

:11:31.:11:34.

happen to the deal now with Donald Trump coming to power. And the fact

:11:35.:11:41.

that the reformists have lost their strong voice in that Rafsanjani.

:11:42.:11:48.

They are worried they won't be able to manoeuvre in a very pole rised --

:11:49.:11:52.

polarised system in the way they used. To they've lost one of their

:11:53.:11:57.

weapons. Thanks very much. Next, the centre of the earth. We

:11:58.:12:02.

know you find iron and Nichol there. Now Japanese scientists think they

:12:03.:12:04.

know of a third element. This is an exciting science story. If you don't

:12:05.:12:09.

believe me, here's this report. The centre of the earth, this

:12:10.:12:13.

mysterious place. We know it's a hard ball about 1200 kilometres

:12:14.:12:18.

across. We know it's mainly made of iron, about 85% by weight and

:12:19.:12:22.

Nichol, about so % by weight, that leaves 5%. For decades scientists

:12:23.:12:26.

have been argue about what it might be. Now they've done a really neat

:12:27.:12:31.

experiment. There are two ways to study the centre. See what happens

:12:32.:12:34.

to seismic waves as they pass through the earths. The other way is

:12:35.:12:38.

try and recreate the conditions of the centre of the earth in the lab.

:12:39.:12:42.

That's what this team in Japan have done. They've subjected different

:12:43.:12:46.

elements to incredibly high temperatures and high pressure. They

:12:47.:12:50.

say the missing element is silicone. It's about 5%. Can they be sure? No.

:12:51.:12:57.

But it looks quite good. Some other scientists a few years ago suggested

:12:58.:13:01.

oxygen. This suggests more strongly it's silicone. Why silicone? Why is

:13:02.:13:06.

this important, if you're a chemist you like silicone, so it's cool. But

:13:07.:13:09.

it tells you about the formation of the earth, what was going on at that

:13:10.:13:14.

time. You don't need to justify finding out about the centre of the

:13:15.:13:19.

earth, it's interesting. How we learn about it, how does it inform

:13:20.:13:23.

how we behave? It tells us more about what happened when we started

:13:24.:13:28.

out. The solar system formed 4. 6 billion years ago. The earth then

:13:29.:13:34.

formed. Rocks coming together. For a while molten rock, liquid moving

:13:35.:13:37.

around. Gradually it cooled down and out of this hard crust on the

:13:38.:13:42.

outside, you got this centre. By working out what's in there can tell

:13:43.:13:45.

you much more about these processes. I think the best thing about this is

:13:46.:13:48.

actually what the centre would look like. Because if it is alloys of

:13:49.:13:56.

nickel and iron and silicone, it would be cystals, spectacular, that

:13:57.:13:59.

we could never see but good to know they're probably there.

:14:00.:14:03.

Rebecca always enthused but particularly so today. For more

:14:04.:14:06.

background on that story, find it from her and her colleagues online

:14:07.:14:10.

on the BBC News app. In a few minutes, another remarkable

:14:11.:14:14.

science story, something different, showing us footage from Ivory Coast

:14:15.:14:19.

of chimpanzees making tools out of wood to access water. Play that in a

:14:20.:14:24.

few motorbike minutes. -- few minutes.

:14:25.:14:33.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he isn't wedded to the idea of keeping

:14:34.:14:39.

freedom of movement. He was addressing supporters in

:14:40.:14:41.

Peterborough. The Labour leader pulled back from recommended a pay

:14:42.:14:48.

cap on top earners. In the 1920s, JP Morgan, the Wall

:14:49.:14:55.

Street banker, yes, JP Morgan, the Wall Street banker limited salaries

:14:56.:14:59.

to 20 times that of junior employees. Another advocate of pay

:15:00.:15:08.

ratios was David Cameron. His government proposed a 20-1 pay ratio

:15:09.:15:11.

to limit sky high pay in the public sector. Now all salaries higher than

:15:12.:15:16.

?150,000 must be signed off by the Cabinet Office. We'll go further,

:15:17.:15:22.

and extend that to any company that is awarded a Government contract.

:15:23.:15:27.

This is not about limiting aspiration or penalising success.

:15:28.:15:42.

This is outsite source. The lead story is from Washington.

:15:43.:15:49.

Jeff Sessions, the man picked to be the next US attorney-general,

Is six hours into his Senate confirmation hearing. First to

Afghanistan. BBC Pashto reports

on a bombing in Kabul. No hope of the Gambian political

stalemate getting sorted out soon. The Supreme Court says it won't have

:16:04.:16:10.

enough judges until May to consider a petition from the President

researchers have filmed chimpanzees making and using tools to get access

from Victoria Gill. A mother and baby in

:17:00.:17:04.

they are making and using tools. It's just another insight

into the remarkable behaviour If you think they've got 90-95%

zoo with these animals, The different cultures

:17:17.:17:23.

of chimpanzees have So it's certainly not new to find

:17:24.:17:29.

chimpanzees using tools. The animals are already known to use

:17:30.:17:33.

sticks to fish for termites and to dip into beehives for honey,

:17:34.:17:36.

but the researchers were particularly impressed by how well

:17:37.:17:40.

crafted these drinking tools were. Chimps selected and stripped long

:17:41.:17:44.

thin sticks and chewed the ends And for captive breeding

:17:45.:17:48.

programmes like this one, zoos have to understand these

:17:49.:17:54.

natural behaviours to keep the animals as mentally

:17:55.:17:57.

stimulated as possible. And then we give them an area

:17:58.:18:01.

where they keep honey, And they have to use their sticks,

:18:02.:18:07.

make them into a certain way so they can put the stick

:18:08.:18:13.

in the hole and get the food out. It's all gone very quiet

:18:14.:18:16.

great apes continues to decline, largely because of poaching

:18:36.:18:38.

and the destruction Findings like this show just how

:18:39.:18:41.

much more we have to learn Some news on the VW

:18:42.:18:46.

emmissions scandal. Volkswagen has agreed

:18:47.:18:58.

a draft settlement with US Let's bring in our correspondent in

:18:59.:19:11.

New York. A few questions here. There's been some preliminary deals,

:19:12.:19:17.

so what's different about this one? Well, this one resolves yet another

:19:18.:19:20.

of the investigations and it's a key one, but I think the most striking

:19:21.:19:25.

thing about it is that Volkswagen is expected to plead guilty to charges

:19:26.:19:31.

that include wire fraud, that it violated the clean air act. It's

:19:32.:19:36.

expected to plead guilty it to customs fraud. This is the result of

:19:37.:19:41.

several investigations into the manipulation of diesel emission

:19:42.:19:44.

tests. They began more than a year ago. The crucial thing for the

:19:45.:19:49.

company is that as much as possible, they're trying to resolve this

:19:50.:19:53.

criminal investigation, so they can move past the scandal that really

:19:54.:19:58.

has cast a shadow. Remember right now, it's the Detroit autoshow. It

:19:59.:20:03.

should be a golden moment to show off its wares and instead it's

:20:04.:20:06.

talking about this. This is a draft deal. What needs to happen for it to

:20:07.:20:12.

become a reel deal? -- real deal? It has to be approved by both sides.

:20:13.:20:16.

We're expecting Volkswagen's board to meet possibly and approve it

:20:17.:20:19.

possibly as early as today, maybe tomorrow. That's the process. The

:20:20.:20:28.

key thing is if you compare this potential deal to recent ones

:20:29.:20:32.

involving General Motors and Toyota, General Motors and Toyota in cases

:20:33.:20:36.

of safety defects, neither of them had to plead guilty. They did pay

:20:37.:20:40.

large fines. But they didn't plead guilty. That's what makes this

:20:41.:20:44.

significant compared to those past ones. Michelle, thank you. I have a

:20:45.:20:51.

report of yours that I'm going to play everyone watching about

:20:52.:20:54.

President Obama's economic legacy. Have a look.

:20:55.:20:59.

Wall Street is left reeling from some of the biggest blows... It's a

:21:00.:21:05.

nightmare for Wall Street... Bankruptcies, bailouts and

:21:06.:21:08.

unemployment rate that peaked at 10% in 2009. When Barack Obama became

:21:09.:21:13.

president he and his team were confronting the total collapse of

:21:14.:21:18.

the financial system. 15 million Americans were out of work, when he

:21:19.:21:22.

delivered his first State of the Union Address. People are out of

:21:23.:21:27.

number one focus in 2010. Perhaps his biggest achievement - stopping

the recession from turning into another Great Depression. It started

:21:40.:21:45.

with the rescue of a symbol of US industrial might, the American car

:21:46.:21:51.

industry. Something this investment banker remembers well. Stephen

:21:52.:21:55.

Ratner led Obama's autoindustry recovery team. It was a testament to

:21:56.:22:01.

President Obama's impartiality that he made a decision that was

:22:02.:22:05.

unpopular, but was clearly in retrospect the right decision. If we

:22:06.:22:10.

had allowed those car companies to continue to liquidate, there would

:22:11.:22:13.

have been a loss of potentially a million jobs, in the short run, at a

:22:14.:22:19.

time in the economy was lose soing many jobs. -- losing so many jobs.

:22:20.:22:25.

An unprecedented amount of money was spent to stimulate the economy.

:22:26.:22:30.

Nearly $4 million made its way here to the Bronx community health

:22:31.:22:34.

centre, saving 15 jobs. Not everyone was a fan of the stimulus plan. We

:22:35.:22:43.

were. We were great fans of it, because it allowed us to really

:22:44.:22:49.

enhance our mission. Under President Obama, a staggering 11 million jobs

:22:50.:22:53.

have been created. While hiring has picked up, many of those positions

:22:54.:22:57.

are temporary or part-time, not the kind of work you can raise a family

:22:58.:23:02.

on. That's why many people I spoke to were gloomy. Do you feel more

:23:03.:23:05.

hopeful than eight years ago or less? It's like so-so. Prices are up

:23:06.:23:13.

and salaries remain the same. President Obama hands over an

:23:14.:23:17.

economy near full employment, following the longest stretch of job

:23:18.:23:22.

growth in history. But many Americans have forgotten what

:23:23.:23:26.

prosperity feels like, a challenge facing the incoming administration.

:23:27.:23:34.

Let's shift from the US to the UK, because this is what's happening to

:23:35.:23:40.

the FTSE 100 indevil -- index. It made history today. It's been going

:23:41.:23:44.

up and up. It closed at a record high for a ninth day in a row,

:23:45.:23:48.

that's the longest streak ever and it's not unrelated to what's been

:23:49.:23:51.

happening to the value of the pound since the UK voted to leave the

:23:52.:23:55.

European Union. That's the moment of Brexit. But the pound has been

:23:56.:23:59.

making its way down since. A weaker pound is boosting the profits of

:24:00.:24:03.

many multinational companies, when they convert foreign earnings into

:24:04.:24:06.

pounds. That does the world of good for their share price. The UK tech

:24:07.:24:12.

sector got good news today. Snap is behind Snapchat. It announced its

:24:13.:24:16.

going to set up its international base in the UK.

:24:17.:24:21.

The point is that a lot of social media companies, like Facebook and

:24:22.:24:25.

Google have run into trouble over setting up tax bases in lower tax

:24:26.:24:29.

jurisdictions in Europe and then diverting profits from other large

:24:30.:24:33.

markets into those jurisdictions in order to minimise their tax bills.

:24:34.:24:38.

So snapping is not doing that. They're setting up in the UK and

:24:39.:24:41.

channelling their profits from the UK first of all, but also from other

:24:42.:24:44.

countries, where they don't have a major base, that includes Australia

:24:45.:24:47.

and Saudi Arabia, and paying tax on them in the UK. Now that tax bill at

:24:48.:24:52.

the moment won't actually be very high because Snapchat's revenues are

:24:53.:24:55.

not that high, at the moment. But it's expanding rapidly. It's taking

:24:56.:25:02.

on more advertising. So there will be more money coming in. That money

:25:03.:25:06.

will be going through the UK. Let's not forget, the UK itself, as a

:25:07.:25:11.

major economy, has a relatively low corporation tax rate, 20% at the

:25:12.:25:14.

moment. It's going to fall to 17% by 2020. By doing this, Snap Inc is

:25:15.:25:25.

avoiding regulatory problems, the UK Government and European Commission

:25:26.:25:28.

clamping down on companies are aggressive tax policies. At the same

:25:29.:25:36.

It's basing itself in the UK where it has -- -- It's basing itself in

:25:37.:25:43.

the UK. We have live feeds coming in from Capitol Hill in Washington.

:25:44.:25:46.

Various confirmation hearings continue ahead of Donald Trump
