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

Francois Fillon is one of the main contenders in the Frencch

Today he said he'll be placed under investigation by a French judge -

TRANSLATION: I will not give up, I will not withdraw, take you to the

end. It is democracy being challenged. A special extended

report from the White House press briefing room. The famous Donald

Trump press conference, where he took questions for over one hour.

Every president has disliked the press coverage. None before this has

declared war in the first week. We have a special report on the

parcel that was delivered to Bradley Wiggins in 2011.

A UN investigation into the battle for Aleppo has found that war

crimes were committed - by both sides.

Government forces are accused of targeting hospitals

On the rebels, it concluded QUOTE "armed groups shot at civilians

to prevent them from leaving, effectively using them

An aid convoy was bombed on the outskirts

Investigators found the government meticulously planned and ruthlessly

They also concluded the eventual evacuation

of eastern Aleppo amounted to forced displacement.

the investigators found no evidence Russia carried out any war

crimes despite its support for the government.

This report is highly critical of the contact of those involved in the

battle for Aleppo. War crimes committed by all parties. It singles

out one incident which the UN report says is particularly shocking. The

attack on humanitarian aid convoy last September. Trucks carrying

much-needed aid supplies into Aleppo had the permission of the Syrian

government, and they knew where they were travelling when they came under

attack on the road, as they were making their way into Aleppo. They

were dropping aid, they were under machine-gun fire from aircraft. A

number of the trucks were destroyed, 14 people killed. As a result

humanitarian aid into Aleppo was suspended, exacerbating conditions

for the civilians trapped in the besieged areas of the city. After

that, widespread condemnation of the attack, by the international

community. Questions as to who had been involved. Russia and Syria

denied any involvement. They said that the attack was carried out by

the Syrian air force. It's emerged today that the doctor

at the centre of a mystery package delivered to Sir Bradley Wiggins

in 2011, has no record The records were on the laptop

of former Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman but it was

stolen in 2014. That's according to evidence given

to a parliamentary inquiry by UK Anti Doping's Chief Executive Nicole

Sapstead. There are no records, particularly

those kept by Doctor Freeman. Who was the doctor, overseeing Team Sky

at this particular event. Absolutely no records whatsoever. The man to

deliver the package, the former coach Simon Cope, taking it from

Manchester or the way to France. He says it never occurred to him to ask

what he was delivering. Here years. I have listened to the evidence to

date, I think you have been left to dangle. By the people he may be

former colleagues and friends, you have been left in a difficult

position. Do you feel that? Yes. Anything else you want to tell the

committee? Bearing in mind you have been done in? I don't know anything,

I told you all I know. I don't know what is in it, I was asked to take

it by my employers. Ollie Foster is in the BBC sports Centre. It appears

to be a damaging afternoon for a number of the parties. The

reputation for British cycling is at an all-time low. Doctor Richard

Freeman was supposed to be there to date in a fascinating couple of

hours at Westminster. He is unwell, still employed by British cycling,

the doctor who received the package, was adjusted decongestant as Sir

Dave Brailsford said, six years ago. As some suspect, one of those

steroids that Sir Bradley Wiggins had therapeutic use exemption is

for, but not on the final racy won. British cycling responding to the

frustrated comments in Parliament. They say...

British cycling saying they needed to get their house in order, and

they have. At the heart of it is getting the evidence from Doctor

Richard Freeman, he said he was not well enough to appear in front of

the select committee to find out what exactly was in that parcel.

Finally Team Sky has come out of a statement saying they have done no

wrong. Nick Colsaerts -- Nicole Sapstead said they do have

a policy, but no body was doing to it.

Still to come - I've got a special report from inside

the White House Press Corp - filmed in one of the most tumultuous

Children as young as four will learn about healthy

relationships under new plans for all schools in England.

Pupils in secondary schools will be taught about the dangers of sexting

and online pornography as part of the sex education.

How young is too young to learn about relationships and sex? Fees

six and seven-year-olds at Goose Green primary are learning about

their bodies, soon compulsory for all school children to have lessons

like this. Today the government has announced that age-appropriate

classes will be taught to children as young as four. If we only have

sex education at secondary school, children already going through

puberty, they are thinking about having boyfriends and girlfriends,

which is happening. They recognise what to do, who did turn to, how

they feel about things. The strongest argument for change and up

to date teaching is that times have changed, children more exposed to

sexual images than ever before through Internet and mobile phones.

The guidance schools are looking to, in terms of how they teach

relationships and sex education was developed in the year 2000.

Prisoners are very place. Important that we have an updated approach,

meaning children are safe and protected. Charities, teaching

unions and MPs have been campaigning for the government to introduce

compulsory sex education. Whilst there has been support from faith

groups, there has been criticism. We need to look at families, support

and encourage them to engage with children about these issues. To

check how they're using their mobile phones, to check where they are

online up in their bedrooms. That is what parents can do. Controlling

what children see and hear in a digital world mean parents have to

be one step ahead of the technology. My daughter is five, she copies

anything she sees, the dance moves, everything she sees. You are too

young, I need you to enjoy your childhood. Quite nice to know kids

are being taught about sex and relationships. At school by

qualified teachers. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland sex

education is not compulsory. All UK governments face the challenge of

how best to prepare young people for life in modern Britain.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

France's centre right Presidential candidate Francois Fillon has said

a judge will place him under investigation over

a fake job scandal - but he won't stand down.

I'm going to do something we don't often do on Outside Source -

Because this is worth seeing in full.

Film-maker Olly Lambert spent a week behind the scenes in the White House

documenting the tumultuous week when national security adviser

Michael Flynn resigned and President Trump held his first

press conference since taking office.

This is the film made for the BBC's Newsnight.

Every president in American history has disliked press coverage he got.

What is unusual is none before this has declared war in the first week.

He needs an enemy. I call the fake news the enemy of the people, and

they are. He presented us the timeline. We always have an adverse

or your relationship, in some cases that is healthy and natural. This is

beyond adversarial. We are supposed to have a thick skin can

dispassionate observers. We are not bringing ourselves to the table as

part of the story, we are being brought into the story, a very

uncomfortable place to be. We have to cut through the clutter, try to

focus on the things that actually matter. Now things are happening.

President Trump's embattled national Security adviser General Michael

Flynn stepping down Monday night in a firestorm of criticism, after

misleading vice president Mike Pence over conversations with the Russian

ambassador to the United States. It is Day 25 of the Trump presidency.

The White House has been hit with its biggest scandal to date. The

President's National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, has had to

resign had missed reports he had had secret contact with Russia before

Trump took office. These have been very tumultuous weeks to renew

president. To have a national security adviser and forced out so

early on it is rather unprecedented to see something happen that

quickly. Right now this briefing room is a place you have TB. -- have

two feet. Michael Flynn's shock resignation draws a big crowd to

Sean Spicer's daily press briefing. The challenge for the White House is

to make sure it stays ahead of us. That is why some of these briefings

can be as contentious as they are. Good afternoon, happy Valentine's

Day. Fine for some love in the room. The big question is what the

president know, and when did he know it? When did the president find out

that Michael Flynn did not tell the truth. We have been reviewing and

evaluating the issue in respect to Gemma Flynn on a daily basis for a

few weeks. The president was very concerned that Gemma Flynn misled

the vice president and others. If he was not about 17 days ago he had

misled the vice president and other officials, and he was a potential

threat to blackmail by the Russians, why would he be kept on for almost

three weeks? That assumes a lot of things that were not true. This was

an act of trust. Red -- if he did mislead the vice president from a

pure and simple it was a matter of trust. Thank you, I will see you

tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day. Very haphazard. The briefing

happens, so many other questions to develop in the hours coming up. Two

hours after the briefing, a selected group of journalists is invited to a

gaggle, an off-camera meeting with Sean Spicer in his office. Have you

got something? There has been an exodus out of Sean Spicer's office.

Hello. They gaggle has revealed another twist. Trump had known for

over two weeks that Flynn discussed sanctions with the Russians, but

Trump did not inform his vice president, Mike Pence. He had found

out by reading the Washington Post. Why was Mike Pence kept in the dark?

You cannot have your national security adviser running around

misleading senior administration officials, especially the vice

president. The spider press team's best efforts, the Russia story is

not going away. -- despite the press team's ladies and gentlemen, the

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

Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington. After Flynn's

resignation, the press corps is hungry to question Trump on his

relationship with Russia. The protocol of a joint press

conference, four journalists are allowed to ask questions. It is the

leaders who decide which journalists to call on. We will take a couple of

questions. David Brodie. Christian Broadcasting. Katie, town Hall. For

the second time this week, Trump ignores the major networks. Instead,

he selects questions from two small conservative news outlets. Neither

asked directly about his links with Russia. Are you going to answer

questions about your contacts with the Russians? Can you guarantee that

nobody in your campaign had any contact with the Russians? Any

questions on Russia? The idea that four reporters, two domestic and two

foreign in two events, eight question no questions about the

biggest news of the week, it is insane. We have a huge story going

on on the Russians. Blockbuster front-page story in the New York

Times, alleging contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian

government, the Russian intelligence. The issue does not

come up in a press conference, because he is calling on friendly

news outlets. Amazing. You have to work hard to call on two reporters

who would not ask that question. That takes some doing. You fired

him, why did you fire him? While the major networks feel ignored, this is

an opportunity for 23-year-old White House correspondent for the newly

formed conservative outlet One American News. I asked the question

what the president thought about the story coming out in the New York

Times. I asked the president about the phone call. Such a unique

opportunity for a young journalist to have. I would not traded for the

world. Something I'm extremely excited about. It gives other

outlets and viewers and an opportunity to feel like they are

connected to this White House as well. Bringing new people and is

great, helpful, these people represent audiences that have real

readers and listeners, and viewers. What we don't want is for Eddie

administration to hand-pick, get the questioners they think our best to

put out their message, instead of defending their policies every day.

I don't think people realise how small this places, the White House.

This is essentially our home, our home for a very long time. This used

to be Franklin Roosevelt's simple. Not very comfortable. There are mice

in this building. My cellphone does not work at my desk. You are there

four AM, you are not sleeping for a week. It is a vibrant, Diarmuid

A pin press. We are lining up. We will get a phone call soon. Press

conference, 12:30 p.m.. The Russia crisis is threatening to engulf the

White House. At the last minute, Sean Spicer's daily briefing is

cancelled, Trump announces his first solo press conference as President

of the United States. He's having a press conference, come to the White

House. When I saw the news there was going to be a press conference in

one hour I raced over. Another example that never a dull moment. So

chaotic, never seen such short notice for a press conference. I had

the sense it was going to be a pretty contentious affair. Ladies

and gentlemen, President of the United States. God bless America,

let's take some questions. Yes. I want to get you to clarify, an

important point. Can you say definitively nobody on your campaign

had any contact with the Russians? When Trump has a story he does not

lie, he's very good are diverging. Russia is fake news. Put out by the

media. False, horrible fate reporting. Makes it that much harder

to make a deal with Russia. One hour, 70 minutes with the President

of the United States insulting reporters to our faces. The

audiences being told not to trust us. Never seen a more dishonest

media than the political media. Take a look at some of your shows, the

tone is such a trip. The public does not believe you people anymore.

Maybe I have something to do with that, I don't know. Story after

story after story is bad. I won. I won. Zero chaos. This is a fine

tuned machine. The press should be ashamed of their sermons. He is

resetting his presidency, or trying after four tough weeks with leeks

and problems, firing. He was trying to reset. He goes out in their press

conference, suddenly back to the Trump, he was like a mad me, I will

shut you down if I don't like you, I will insult you, tell you to sit

down. Sit down, I understand the rest of your question. Quiet. Quiet.

Sit down. I don't have to do that. I don't have to tell you what I'm

going to do in North Korea. I then have to tell you what I'm going to

do with North Korea. Eventually you will get tired of asking the

question. He has never been in a place, where it a lie, will get

reported. As a lie. This is a different kind of press corps. Guess

who was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan

In fact present Obama got 355. I was talking about Republican. George HW

Bush, 426 when he won as president. Why should Americans trust you? When

you accuse information they receive as being fake, when you provide

information. I was given that information. I have seen that

around. Very substantial victory, do you agree with that? You are the

president. You can push back, say no, we're not fake news can we are

real news. At some point the President of the United States has

two deal with reality. With real news. The only thing worse than fake

news is the denial of real news. Aren't you concerned you are

undermining the people's faith in the first Amendment, freedom of the

press? When you call stories you don't like fake news. Why not save

it as a story I don't like. We just keep doing our job. Nobody got into

becoming a reporter to be loved. If he wants to go after us, that is his

decision. I am not sure it is the smart, long-term decision for

building support in the country. Four years to go. I mean, you don't

like to be locked in with a group called a bunch of lies, especially

when the person doing it is the President of the United States of

America. By the way, when your job is to cover him. Hard to explain.

After a while can just doesn't bother you anymore. You just go read

your story. Asking questions. -- go after your story. It is stressful,

draining. I feel such pride that we, in the face of all this comment did

our very best to present the most honest account of what happened here

in this building to our audience each day. If they do not hear it

from us, I am not sure whether they will know the truth. Fascinating

insight into the relationship between Donald Trump and the media.

Worth seeing all 15 minutes of that report. Thank you for watching, I

will be back tomorrow at the same time.

At the end of the day, the atmosphere is all joined up.

Watching early on in the week, I was indicating how developments in North

America could develop our weather at the end of the week. It looks like

panning out that way.
