:00:07. > :00:09.intelligence officials - Russian cyber attacks pose a major

:00:10. > :00:15.They insist there is no doubt that Russia tried to interfere

:00:16. > :00:21.I don't think that we've ever encountered a more aggressive

:00:22. > :00:23.or direct campaign to interfere in our election process

:00:24. > :00:35.The President elect Donald Trump will be briefed about the findings

:00:36. > :00:47.Jill Saward - the first rape victim in the UK to waive her right

:00:48. > :00:52.to anonymity and campaign against sexual violence has died.

:00:53. > :00:55.I want people to be able to understand just how much

:00:56. > :00:59.of a trauma rape is and just what you do go through.

:01:00. > :01:02.Britain's service sector grew rapidly last month -

:01:03. > :01:06.at its fastest pace for almost 18 months - according a new survey.

:01:07. > :01:08.Noise and air pollution - how living near major roads

:01:09. > :01:14.could put you at higher risk of developing dementia.

:01:26. > :01:47.He'll face either Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Tomas Berdych in the last four.

:01:48. > :01:50.American intelligence officials have given a stark warning

:01:51. > :01:53.about the threat posed by Russian cyber attacks.

:01:54. > :01:55.The outgoing US National Intelligence Director,

:01:56. > :02:00.James Clapper, told a Senate hearing he hasn't come across a more

:02:01. > :02:03.aggressive campaign to interfere with an American election

:02:04. > :02:07.than Russia's actions in last year's race for the White House.

:02:08. > :02:11.Mr Clapper - who will brief Donald Trump about his findings tomorrow -

:02:12. > :02:14.said the hacking of Democratic Party emails had been ordered

:02:15. > :02:24.Washington is investigating what could be the biggest political

:02:25. > :02:28.In the 70s it was the building belonging to the Democratic National

:02:29. > :02:33.In 2016 it was the computer system at the party's present headquarters.

:02:34. > :02:37.A robbery in cyberspace rather than in person.

:02:38. > :02:40.And US intelligence believes it was orchestrated

:02:41. > :02:42.by Vladimir Putin, from the Kremlin, to help Donald Trump

:02:43. > :02:48.I want to welcome all our members back to the committee.

:02:49. > :02:50.Today, those allegations were aired publicly

:02:51. > :02:53.on Capitol Hill at this Republican-controlled

:02:54. > :02:57.Every American should be alarmed by Russia's attacks on our nation.

:02:58. > :02:59.There is no national security interest more vital

:03:00. > :03:02.to the United States of America than the ability to hold

:03:03. > :03:06.free and fair elections without foreign interference.

:03:07. > :03:07.That's why Congress must set partisanship aside,

:03:08. > :03:10.follow the facts and work together to devise comprehensive

:03:11. > :03:12.solutions to deter and defend against and, when necessary, respond

:03:13. > :03:22.America's Director of National Intelligence,

:03:23. > :03:25.James Clapper, said he stood more resolutely by a statement

:03:26. > :03:28.released in October, before the election,

:03:29. > :03:31.that Moscow was interfering to help Donald Trump.

:03:32. > :03:35.He was asked if that was an act of war.

:03:36. > :03:38.Whether or not that constitutes an act of war I think is a very

:03:39. > :03:41.heavy policy call that I don't believe the intelligence

:03:42. > :03:44.community should make, but it would certainly carry,

:03:45. > :03:54.The President-elect has repeatedly rubbished the notion

:03:55. > :03:56.that he achieved a Kremlin-assisted victory and has publicly poured

:03:57. > :04:04.He's also spoken approvingly of Julian Assange, the founder

:04:05. > :04:07.of Wikileaks, who released the hacked e-mails and

:04:08. > :04:09.claimed the Russians weren't involved.

:04:10. > :04:12.That's enraged senators from both parties.

:04:13. > :04:16.Who actually is the benefactor of someone who's about to become

:04:17. > :04:20.commander-in-chief trashing the intelligence community?

:04:21. > :04:24.I think there's a difference between scepticism and disparagement.

:04:25. > :04:29.Director Clapper, how would you describe Mr Assange?

:04:30. > :04:31.I don't think those of us in the intelligence community

:04:32. > :04:39.Then, this blunt and direct message for President-elect Trump

:04:40. > :04:42.from a senior member of his own party.

:04:43. > :04:45.I want to let the President-elect know that it's OK to challenge

:04:46. > :04:50.the intel, you're absolutely right to want to do so, but what I don't

:04:51. > :04:53.want you to do is undermine those who are serving our nation in this

:04:54. > :04:58.arena until you're absolutely sure they need to be undermined.

:04:59. > :05:02.And I think they need to be uplifted, not undermined.

:05:03. > :05:05.Trump Tower these days has its own microclimate of Twitter

:05:06. > :05:10.The President-elect took to social media to complain that journalists

:05:11. > :05:14.were being dishonest in saying he agreed with Julian Assange

:05:15. > :05:26.and that he was a big fan of the intelligence community.

:05:27. > :05:36.Donald Trump will receive the treatment tomorrow. Will it alter

:05:37. > :05:42.his thinking, that the Russian hacking claims are a cock-up along

:05:43. > :05:47.the lines of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction, rather than pointing to

:05:48. > :05:50.a Kremlin conspiracy. And confirmation that Theresa May is

:05:51. > :05:55.heading to Washington in the next month or two to see Donald Trump?

:05:56. > :06:02.You remember the first conversation and Donald Trump delivered the

:06:03. > :06:08.casual invitation: If you travel to the US, you should let me know! Well

:06:09. > :06:13.Downing Street wanted to firm up the details, especially at the time when

:06:14. > :06:20.Donald Trump was tweeting that Nigel Farage would make a great UK

:06:21. > :06:26.ambassador. So meetings with Donald Trump's transition team. A vague

:06:27. > :06:31.date in the diary, it may happen in spring or next month. Tony Blair met

:06:32. > :06:34.George W Bush in February for the first time, Gordon Brown met

:06:35. > :06:39.President Obama in early March, so this is the same sort of ball park.

:06:40. > :06:43.But it could be that the first British politicians to get to shake

:06:44. > :06:49.the hand of President Donald Trump will be Nigel Farage as it was

:06:50. > :06:50.announced today he will be attending his inauguration in 15 days' time.

:06:51. > :06:54.Thank you. Jill Saward, the woman who became

:06:55. > :06:56.a renowned campaigner for survivors of sexual assault

:06:57. > :06:58.after she was raped during a burglary at

:06:59. > :07:00.her father's vicarage, She was 51 and had

:07:01. > :07:03.suffered a stroke. She became the first

:07:04. > :07:05.rape survivor in the UK to waive her right to anonymity -

:07:06. > :07:08.and spent much of the rest of her life crusading for better

:07:09. > :07:11.treatment of survivors of sexual The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin

:07:12. > :07:17.Welby described her as a heroic Here's our Home affairs

:07:18. > :07:27.Correspondent June Kelly. Jill Saward was 21 when, in 1986,

:07:28. > :07:34.she became the victim of a crime which caused revulsion

:07:35. > :07:35.across the country. There was horror that in a suburban

:07:36. > :07:38.vicarage in Ealing in West London, a young woman was dragged

:07:39. > :07:42.into a bedroom at knife-point and It began to be serious

:07:43. > :07:56.when Mantu took It began to be serious

:07:57. > :07:58.when Man two took me upstairs and brought

:07:59. > :08:00.me into this room, the spare room, basically,

:08:01. > :08:01.and Her attackers were part

:08:02. > :08:04.of a three-man gang, Her father, the Reverend

:08:05. > :08:13.Michael Saward, and her Jill Saward's rapists

:08:14. > :08:16.tied her up with a In the criminal trial that

:08:17. > :08:20.followed, the judge caused outrage when he said that

:08:21. > :08:22.Jill Saward's trauma - had not been so great -

:08:23. > :08:28.and he gave her attackers, the gang member, who

:08:29. > :08:31.be didn't rape her. My response to what the judge said

:08:32. > :08:34.about me, that I had suffered no great trauma,

:08:35. > :08:36.or that the trauma don't think words could have

:08:37. > :08:40.expressed how I felt in that I don't think the judge had a clue

:08:41. > :08:46.what I went through. As a rape victim, Jill

:08:47. > :08:48.Saward's name was kept secret but she took

:08:49. > :08:49.the decision to write a book and speak

:08:50. > :08:52.publically about what she had I want people to be able

:08:53. > :08:57.to understand just how much of a trauma rape is,

:08:58. > :09:01.and just what you do go through when you're being raped,

:09:02. > :09:05.and I hope that what I've done Having been exposed

:09:06. > :09:12.to the realities of the Criminal Justice System, Jill Saward became

:09:13. > :09:15.a pivotal advocate of better She was at the vanguard

:09:16. > :09:23.of a successful campaign to stop defendants in rape

:09:24. > :09:26.cases from cross-examining women Tonight fellow campaigners

:09:27. > :09:31.pay tribute to her. And one of the most

:09:32. > :09:33.important things she did, of course, was to try

:09:34. > :09:36.to dispell the stigma and the taboo around rape and sexual violence,

:09:37. > :09:39.because as a survivor herself, she very strongly and rightly,

:09:40. > :09:45.repeated the message, the survivor, the victim, has

:09:46. > :09:48.nothing to feel ashamed about, it is always the perpetrator who has

:09:49. > :09:51.the reason to feel shame. Jill Saward leaves

:09:52. > :10:02.a husband and three sons. The Attorney General

:10:03. > :10:03.said she had opened the eyes of many

:10:04. > :10:05.politicians and helped to ensure that victims

:10:06. > :10:06.were placed at the heart

:10:07. > :10:09.of the Criminal Justice System. The campaigner Jill Saward,

:10:10. > :10:16.who's died at the age of 51. The way domestic abusers are dealt

:10:17. > :10:18.with in family courts in England The Justice Secretary wants to stop

:10:19. > :10:25.the growing practice of abusers questioning their own victims -

:10:26. > :10:27.adding to their ordeal. One woman in four can expect

:10:28. > :10:30.to experience domestic violence At the moment two women are killed

:10:31. > :10:36.every week in England and Wales Now a pilot scheme backed

:10:37. > :10:42.by the Home Office - has brought Northumbria Police

:10:43. > :10:44.and several other agencies together in a new way

:10:45. > :10:46.of tackling the problem. As our UK Affairs Correspondent

:10:47. > :10:48.Jeremy Cooke reports, I'm just going to try

:10:49. > :10:59.around the back. Northumbria Police,

:11:00. > :11:00.tracking down those guilty of a crime often unseen

:11:01. > :11:07.- domestic violence. The lad we're going to see is no

:11:08. > :11:10.stranger to the police anyway. It's a volatile relationship, erm,

:11:11. > :11:12.so there's physical violence, The key is intelligence-gathering,

:11:13. > :11:26.a task that goes well His father believed he may have been

:11:27. > :11:30.recalled to prison... In this one room are councils

:11:31. > :11:32.and probation workers, victim support groups,

:11:33. > :11:34.the NHS and more. Six police events on our system

:11:35. > :11:37.are all down to domestic abuse. All of it designed

:11:38. > :11:40.to identify suspects. We wouldn't have a domestic

:11:41. > :11:42.abuse victim if we didn't Therefore, if we want to stop

:11:43. > :11:46.domestic abuse, we need The work could hardly

:11:47. > :11:52.be more urgent. This police force alone has dealt

:11:53. > :11:55.with almost 30,000 domestic abuse We were standing in the kitchen just

:11:56. > :12:01.talking, and then next thing, Was biting us, punching us,

:12:02. > :12:05.grabbed us by the throat. I just thought she was in the wrong,

:12:06. > :12:12.I was blaming her for everything and I punched her and kicked her

:12:13. > :12:15.and I physically assaulted her. I don't know what I done it for,

:12:16. > :12:18.just something flipped, or clicked, Back on the street, the police

:12:19. > :12:27.are still on the case. And finally, they track

:12:28. > :12:29.down their man and the woman They've slipped out of the house

:12:30. > :12:37.into the back alley. This is to inform you that

:12:38. > :12:42.Northumbria Police have identified you as a domestic

:12:43. > :12:46.abuse serial perpetrator. What's different here is that these

:12:47. > :12:49.cops are not making an arrest, they're trying to get him to engage

:12:50. > :12:52.in a programme to stop the violence. We can offer you these

:12:53. > :12:54.courses now, and... It's things like, they're looking

:12:55. > :13:02.at things like anger management, drug and alcohol misuse,

:13:03. > :13:04.and it's like, you want You recognise the behaviour

:13:05. > :13:12.before it escalated It's a key element of this

:13:13. > :13:17.new Home Office-funded pilot scheme. Every man on this course had

:13:18. > :13:23.admitted domestic abuse, Your body tenses up,

:13:24. > :13:30.your fists will clench. The numbers are impressive -

:13:31. > :13:33.for men who complete this course, rates of offending have reduced

:13:34. > :13:35.by 61% - enough I love him, and we've got

:13:36. > :13:42.four children together. That to me is enough

:13:43. > :13:45.to try to make things work. Some people watching this

:13:46. > :13:56.who will say, you shouldn't be on this course, you should

:13:57. > :13:57.be in jail? Well, to be honest with you,

:13:58. > :14:02.I think I should have been in jail. I think anyone who hits anybody

:14:03. > :14:04.or abuses anybody or anything But obviously, I've

:14:05. > :14:08.had a second chance. Ultimately, those behind this

:14:09. > :14:11.programme want one thing - They're doing all they can,

:14:12. > :14:16.but there are warnings that the process can only be

:14:17. > :14:21.as strong as its weakest link. We've taken the initiative,

:14:22. > :14:24.and I want the courts to follow suit and take

:14:25. > :14:26.the initiative, too. And it is a nasty course of conduct

:14:27. > :14:30.that's changing vulnerable victims' lives and the courts need

:14:31. > :14:35.to intervene, understanding that. The police here stress

:14:36. > :14:37.that whenever possible, perpetrators will still face

:14:38. > :14:40.arrest and prosecution. It's a zero tolerance

:14:41. > :14:42.message, and it's all Details of organisations providing

:14:43. > :14:55.support for victims of domestic Two people have been killed and five

:14:56. > :15:10.have been wounded in a car bomb explosion in the Turkish resort

:15:11. > :15:12.of Izmir. The blast took place outside

:15:13. > :15:14.the city's courthouse, with armed attackers opening fire

:15:15. > :15:16.before detonating a bomb. Two of the attackers were shot dead

:15:17. > :15:19.by police and a third Britain's service sector

:15:20. > :15:27.grew rapidly last month, at its fastest pace

:15:28. > :15:30.for almost a year and a half. Services, which cover everything

:15:31. > :15:35.from retail and transport, to banking and accounting,

:15:36. > :15:38.make up three-quarters The Chief Economist at the Bank

:15:39. > :15:42.of England, Andy Haldane, welcomed the figures,

:15:43. > :15:44.but warned that the next two years Here's our Economics

:15:45. > :15:50.Editor, Kamal Ahmed. The great British shopper,

:15:51. > :15:53.still confident, still spending, still the motor driving the UK

:15:54. > :15:57.economy, which, despite all those gloomy forecasts,

:15:58. > :16:00.now looks set to be one With interest rates low

:16:01. > :16:05.and employment levels high, for these shoppers in Birmingham,

:16:06. > :16:09.it's time to splash out. I just spend all the time,

:16:10. > :16:11.because I get paid weekly, so as soon as I get paid

:16:12. > :16:14.I spend it all. I'm the kind of person,

:16:15. > :16:19.if I like something, I'll go and buy it anyway,

:16:20. > :16:22.whether it's in the sale or not. But I think I am still

:16:23. > :16:24.a bit careful, yes. Cashing in for the moment,

:16:25. > :16:28.the high street shops like this one in Glasgow,

:16:29. > :16:31.that are the mainstay It was a good Christmas for us,

:16:32. > :16:35.which is a very important Going forward, I'm not so confident

:16:36. > :16:39.that things will hold up The reason being that a lot

:16:40. > :16:44.of our suppliers have already announced price rises for 2017,

:16:45. > :16:50.most of them across the board. Here's the chief economist

:16:51. > :16:53.of the Bank of England, an organisation that warned before

:16:54. > :16:55.the referendum that things could get If you look at how the British

:16:56. > :17:03.consumer performed during the course of last year, it's almost as though

:17:04. > :17:07.the referendum had not taken place. And of course, in terms

:17:08. > :17:13.of many of the real things, like pay and jobs, not

:17:14. > :17:17.very much happened. Do you feel more confident now

:17:18. > :17:23.about the UK economy in 2017, given the very positive figures this

:17:24. > :17:26.morning on services, very positive figures on construction,

:17:27. > :17:29.very positive figures on manufacturing, than you and

:17:30. > :17:33.the Bank did pre the referendum, if there was a vote to leave

:17:34. > :17:38.the European Union? We are still expecting this rather

:17:39. > :17:42.difficult balancing act, with a slowing, not a huge slowing,

:17:43. > :17:49.but nonetheless a material slowing during the course of next year,

:17:50. > :17:55.as the effects of higher prices in the shops begin to chew away

:17:56. > :17:59.a little at the spending Andrew Haldane welcomed

:18:00. > :18:06.today's good economic news, based as they are on the resilience

:18:07. > :18:11.of the great British shopper. But in those figures

:18:12. > :18:13.today, a note of warning. Inflation in the services sector,

:18:14. > :18:19.the biggest part of the UK economy, is now rising at rates not seen

:18:20. > :18:24.since April 2011. And that could lead

:18:25. > :18:26.to higher prices. Add that to increasing household

:18:27. > :18:28.debt and Brexit uncertainty, and that all-important consumer

:18:29. > :18:32.confidence could dim, The number of new cars sold in

:18:33. > :18:43.the UK hit an all-time high in 2016. was mainly due to high demand

:18:44. > :18:48.from business customers, according to the Society

:18:49. > :18:52.of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. But sales are expected

:18:53. > :18:54.to fall sharply this year, as our industry correspondent

:18:55. > :19:00.John Moylan reports. Once, new cars were the preserve

:19:01. > :19:02.of the privileged few. These days, we buy cars

:19:03. > :19:08.like mobile phones. The reason we're all buying so many

:19:09. > :19:11.new cars is because the industry In fact, the vast majority

:19:12. > :19:17.of customers are now effectively leasing new vehicles

:19:18. > :19:21.for an affordable monthly payment, rather than worrying

:19:22. > :19:26.about the overall sticker price. Ivan Foreman used to

:19:27. > :19:28.buy cars second-hand. All of the options are now available

:19:29. > :19:34.with leasing and financing. I can now pay less overall

:19:35. > :19:39.on a monthly basis but still go home You can probably now have a car

:19:40. > :19:45.like that for ?10 a month This shift in how we buy cars

:19:46. > :19:49.is also changing the type There's a real trend for people

:19:50. > :19:55.to buy more upmarket cars, because the monthly payments

:19:56. > :19:57.are usually not that much greater than buying a more mainstream

:19:58. > :20:00.vehicle and people are very badge conscious and they want the latest

:20:01. > :20:03.technology and that's what these Last year, total sales hit

:20:04. > :20:09.almost 2.7 million cars. That was up 2.3% on the previous

:20:10. > :20:14.year, which was also a record high. But the industry now expects

:20:15. > :20:17.sales to fall by more That's because consumer

:20:18. > :20:25.demand has been falling. It could get worse,

:20:26. > :20:28.amid the economic uncertainty ahead. What's more, higher prices

:20:29. > :20:32.are coming to forecourts. The pressure that comes
