A warning from America's top

:00:00.:00:00.

intelligence officials - Russian cyber attacks pose a major

:00:07.:00:09.

They insist there is no doubt that Russia tried to interfere

:00:10.:00:15.

I don't think that we've ever encountered a more aggressive

:00:16.:00:21.

or direct campaign to interfere in our election process

:00:22.:00:23.

The President elect Donald Trump will be briefed about the findings

:00:24.:00:35.

Jill Saward - the first rape victim in the UK to waive her right

:00:36.:00:47.

to anonymity and campaign against sexual violence has died.

:00:48.:00:52.

I want people to be able to understand just how much

:00:53.:00:55.

of a trauma rape is and just what you do go through.

:00:56.:00:59.

Britain's service sector grew rapidly last month -

:01:00.:01:02.

at its fastest pace for almost 18 months - according a new survey.

:01:03.:01:06.

Noise and air pollution - how living near major roads

:01:07.:01:08.

could put you at higher risk of developing dementia.

:01:09.:01:14.

And six letters from Princess Diana to a Buckingham palace

:01:15.:01:16.

steward are sold at auction for more than ?15,000.

:01:17.:01:20.

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, Sir Andy Murray's

:01:21.:01:23.

through to the Qatar Open semi-finals after beating

:01:24.:01:25.

He'll face either Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Tomas Berdych in the last four.

:01:26.:01:47.

American intelligence officials have given a stark warning

:01:48.:01:50.

about the threat posed by Russian cyber attacks.

:01:51.:01:53.

The outgoing US National Intelligence Director,

:01:54.:01:55.

James Clapper, told a Senate hearing he hasn't come across a more

:01:56.:02:00.

aggressive campaign to interfere with an American election

:02:01.:02:03.

than Russia's actions in last year's race for the White House.

:02:04.:02:07.

Mr Clapper - who will brief Donald Trump about his findings tomorrow -

:02:08.:02:11.

said the hacking of Democratic Party emails had been ordered

:02:12.:02:14.

Washington is investigating what could be the biggest political

:02:15.:02:24.

In the 70s it was the building belonging to the Democratic National

:02:25.:02:28.

In 2016 it was the computer system at the party's present headquarters.

:02:29.:02:33.

A robbery in cyberspace rather than in person.

:02:34.:02:37.

And US intelligence believes it was orchestrated

:02:38.:02:40.

by Vladimir Putin, from the Kremlin, to help Donald Trump

:02:41.:02:42.

I want to welcome all our members back to the committee.

:02:43.:02:48.

Today, those allegations were aired publicly

:02:49.:02:50.

on Capitol Hill at this Republican-controlled

:02:51.:02:53.

Every American should be alarmed by Russia's attacks on our nation.

:02:54.:02:57.

There is no national security interest more vital

:02:58.:02:59.

to the United States of America than the ability to hold

:03:00.:03:02.

free and fair elections without foreign interference.

:03:03.:03:06.

That's why Congress must set partisanship aside,

:03:07.:03:07.

follow the facts and work together to devise comprehensive

:03:08.:03:10.

solutions to deter and defend against and, when necessary, respond

:03:11.:03:12.

America's Director of National Intelligence,

:03:13.:03:22.

James Clapper, said he stood more resolutely by a statement

:03:23.:03:25.

released in October, before the election,

:03:26.:03:28.

that Moscow was interfering to help Donald Trump.

:03:29.:03:31.

He was asked if that was an act of war.

:03:32.:03:35.

Whether or not that constitutes an act of war I think is a very

:03:36.:03:38.

heavy policy call that I don't believe the intelligence

:03:39.:03:41.

community should make, but it would certainly carry,

:03:42.:03:44.

The President-elect has repeatedly rubbished the notion

:03:45.:03:54.

that he achieved a Kremlin-assisted victory and has publicly poured

:03:55.:03:56.

He's also spoken approvingly of Julian Assange, the founder

:03:57.:04:04.

of Wikileaks, who released the hacked e-mails and

:04:05.:04:07.

claimed the Russians weren't involved.

:04:08.:04:09.

That's enraged senators from both parties.

:04:10.:04:12.

Who actually is the benefactor of someone who's about to become

:04:13.:04:16.

commander-in-chief trashing the intelligence community?

:04:17.:04:20.

I think there's a difference between scepticism and disparagement.

:04:21.:04:24.

Director Clapper, how would you describe Mr Assange?

:04:25.:04:29.

I don't think those of us in the intelligence community

:04:30.:04:31.

Then, this blunt and direct message for President-elect Trump

:04:32.:04:39.

from a senior member of his own party.

:04:40.:04:42.

I want to let the President-elect know that it's OK to challenge

:04:43.:04:45.

the intel, you're absolutely right to want to do so, but what I don't

:04:46.:04:50.

want you to do is undermine those who are serving our nation in this

:04:51.:04:53.

arena until you're absolutely sure they need to be undermined.

:04:54.:04:58.

And I think they need to be uplifted, not undermined.

:04:59.:05:02.

Trump Tower these days has its own microclimate of Twitter

:05:03.:05:05.

The President-elect took to social media to complain that journalists

:05:06.:05:10.

were being dishonest in saying he agreed with Julian Assange

:05:11.:05:14.

and that he was a big fan of the intelligence community.

:05:15.:05:26.

Donald Trump will receive the treatment tomorrow. Will it alter

:05:27.:05:36.

his thinking, that the Russian hacking claims are a cock-up along

:05:37.:05:42.

the lines of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction, rather than pointing to

:05:43.:05:47.

a Kremlin conspiracy. And confirmation that Theresa May is

:05:48.:05:50.

heading to Washington in the next month or two to see Donald Trump?

:05:51.:05:55.

You remember the first conversation and Donald Trump delivered the

:05:56.:06:02.

casual invitation: If you travel to the US, you should let me know! Well

:06:03.:06:08.

Downing Street wanted to firm up the details, especially at the time when

:06:09.:06:13.

Donald Trump was tweeting that Nigel Farage would make a great UK

:06:14.:06:20.

ambassador. So meetings with Donald Trump's transition team. A vague

:06:21.:06:26.

date in the diary, it may happen in spring or next month. Tony Blair met

:06:27.:06:31.

George W Bush in February for the first time, Gordon Brown met

:06:32.:06:34.

President Obama in early March, so this is the same sort of ball park.

:06:35.:06:39.

But it could be that the first British politicians to get to shake

:06:40.:06:43.

the hand of President Donald Trump will be Nigel Farage as it was

:06:44.:06:49.

announced today he will be attending his inauguration in 15 days' time.

:06:50.:06:50.

Thank you. Jill Saward, the woman who became

:06:51.:06:54.

a renowned campaigner for survivors of sexual assault

:06:55.:06:56.

after she was raped during a burglary at

:06:57.:06:58.

her father's vicarage, She was 51 and had

:06:59.:07:00.

suffered a stroke. She became the first

:07:01.:07:03.

rape survivor in the UK to waive her right to anonymity -

:07:04.:07:05.

and spent much of the rest of her life crusading for better

:07:06.:07:08.

treatment of survivors of sexual The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin

:07:09.:07:11.

Welby described her as a heroic Here's our Home affairs

:07:12.:07:17.

Correspondent June Kelly. Jill Saward was 21 when, in 1986,

:07:18.:07:27.

she became the victim of a crime which caused revulsion

:07:28.:07:34.

across the country. There was horror that in a suburban

:07:35.:07:35.

vicarage in Ealing in West London, a young woman was dragged

:07:36.:07:38.

into a bedroom at knife-point and It began to be serious

followed, the judge caused outrage when he said that

and he gave her attackers, the gang member, who

:08:29.:08:31.

about me, that I had suffered no great trauma,

:08:32.:08:34.

or that the trauma don't think words could have

:08:35.:08:36.

expressed how I felt in that I don't think the judge had a clue

:08:37.:08:40.

what I went through. As a rape victim, Jill

:08:41.:08:46.

Saward's name was kept secret but she took

:08:47.:08:48.

the decision to write a book and speak

:08:49.:08:49.

publically about what she had I want people to be able

:08:50.:08:52.

to understand just how much of a trauma rape is,

:08:53.:08:57.

and just what you do go through when you're being raped,

:08:58.:09:01.

and I hope that what I've done Having been exposed

:09:02.:09:05.

to the realities of the Criminal Justice System, Jill Saward became

:09:06.:09:12.

a pivotal advocate of better She was at the vanguard

:09:13.:09:15.

of a successful campaign to stop defendants in rape

:09:16.:09:23.

cases from cross-examining women Tonight fellow campaigners

:09:24.:09:26.

pay tribute to her. And one of the most

:09:27.:09:31.

important things she did, of course, was to try

:09:32.:09:33.

to dispell the stigma and the taboo around rape and sexual violence,

:09:34.:09:36.

because as a survivor herself, she very strongly and rightly,

:09:37.:09:39.

repeated the message, the survivor, the victim, has

:09:40.:09:45.

nothing to feel ashamed about, it is always the perpetrator who has

:09:46.:09:48.

the reason to feel shame. Jill Saward leaves

to try to make things work. Some people watching this

who will say, you shouldn't be on this course, you should

:13:46.:13:56.

be in jail? Well, to be honest with you,

:13:57.:13:57.

I think I should have been in jail. I think anyone who hits anybody

or abuses anybody or anything But obviously, I've

had a second chance. Ultimately, those behind this

but there are warnings that the process can only be

as strong as its weakest link. We've taken the initiative,

:14:17.:14:21.

and I want the courts to follow suit and take

:14:22.:14:24.

the initiative, too. And it is a nasty course of conduct

:14:25.:14:26.

that's changing vulnerable victims' lives and the courts need

:14:27.:14:30.

to intervene, understanding that. The police here stress

:14:31.:14:35.

that whenever possible, perpetrators will still face

because I get paid weekly, so as soon as I get paid

that things will hold up The reason being that a lot

consumer performed during the course of last year, it's almost as though

:16:56.:17:03.

the referendum had not taken place. And of course, in terms

:17:04.:17:07.

of many of the real things, like pay and jobs, not

about the UK economy in 2017, given the very positive figures this

very positive figures on manufacturing, than you and

difficult balancing act, with a slowing, not a huge slowing,

:17:39.:17:42.

but nonetheless a material slowing during the course of next year,

as the effects of higher prices in the shops begin to chew away

a little at the spending Andrew Haldane welcomed

today's good economic news, based as they are on the resilience

:18:00.:18:06.

of the great British shopper. But in those figures

:18:07.:18:11.

today, a note of warning. Inflation in the services sector,

:18:12.:18:13.

the biggest part of the UK economy, is now rising at rates not seen

:18:14.:18:19.

since April 2011. And that could lead

:18:20.:18:24.

to higher prices. Add that to increasing household

:18:25.:18:26.

debt and Brexit uncertainty, and that all-important consumer

:18:27.:18:28.

confidence could dim, The number of new cars sold in

:18:29.:18:32.

the UK hit an all-time high in 2016. was mainly due to high demand

:18:33.:18:43.

from business customers, according to the Society

:18:44.:18:48.

of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. But sales are expected

:18:49.:18:52.

to fall sharply this year, as our industry correspondent

:18:53.:18:54.

John Moylan reports. Once, new cars were the preserve

:18:55.:19:00.

of the privileged few. These days, we buy cars

:19:01.:19:02.

like mobile phones. The reason we're all buying so many

:19:03.:19:08.

new cars is because the industry In fact, the vast majority

:19:09.:19:11.

of customers are now effectively leasing new vehicles

:19:12.:19:17.

for an affordable monthly payment, rather than worrying

:19:18.:19:21.

about the overall sticker price. Ivan Foreman used to

:19:22.:19:26.

buy cars second-hand. All of the options are now available

:19:27.:19:28.

with leasing and financing. I can now pay less overall

:19:29.:19:34.

on a monthly basis but still go home You can probably now have a car

:19:35.:19:39.

like that for ?10 a month This shift in how we buy cars

:19:40.:19:45.

is also changing the type There's a real trend for people

:19:46.:19:49.

to buy more upmarket cars, because the monthly payments

:19:50.:19:55.

are usually not that much greater than buying a more mainstream

:19:56.:19:57.

vehicle and people are very badge conscious and they want the latest

:19:58.:20:00.

technology and that's what these Last year, total sales hit

:20:01.:20:03.

almost 2.7 million cars. That was up 2.3% on the previous

:20:04.:20:09.

year, which was also a record high. But the industry now expects

:20:10.:20:14.

sales to fall by more That's because consumer

:20:15.:20:17.

demand has been falling. It could get worse,

:20:18.:20:25.

amid the economic uncertainty ahead. What's more, higher prices

:20:26.:20:28.

are coming to forecourts. The pressure that comes

into more and more products. From now on, just about every device that

you own is likely to be a smart device.

Alexa, what's the weather like in Las Vegas?

And here's another giant step towards a world

In a world first, this Chinese robot is controlled

:26:18.:26:26.

Artificial intelligence helps it move and interact with humans.

:26:27.:26:33.

It will be able to detect that you are perhaps having a bad day,

:26:34.:26:36.

And that's all about, that is AI that is doing that?

:26:37.:26:44.

That's an interaction with software that is unscripted.

Out on the road, cars are getting smarter.

around me, not actually concentrate on the road.

A safety adviser is ready to take the wheel and order me to brake,

but how many years before the car can really be trusted

I think BMW believe that starting '21, roughly like that,

we start with highly automated driving, not fully automated.

Six handwritten letters from Princess Diana to a former

:28:22.:28:23.

Buckingham Palace steward have sold for more than ?15,000 at auction.

:28:24.:28:28.

The letters include some revealing insights

:28:29.:28:31.

about the then young princes, William and Harry,

:28:32.:28:33.

with one revealing that Prince Harry was constantly in trouble at school.

:28:34.:28:38.

Sarah Campbell reports from the auction house in Cambridge.

:28:39.:28:42.

All done this time, the hammer is up, and it's

:28:43.:28:48.

Estimated values were quickly exceeded, as the world snapped up

:28:49.:28:55.

As expected, it was Diana's heartfelt letters to Palace

:28:56.:28:59.

employee Cyril Dickman, the Head Steward at Buckingham

:29:00.:29:02.

She was a mother who obviously cared about her children.

:29:03.:29:08.

And she was very generous, and she wasn't afraid

:29:09.:29:10.

of putting her thoughts down on paper.

:29:11.:29:13.

And that was shown in some of the lots we sold today.

:29:14.:29:16.

September 1984, and Prince William's eagerness to see his new baby

:29:17.:29:20.

Five days after the birth, Diana wrote, "William

:29:21.:29:26.

adores his little brother and spends the entire time swamping

:29:27.:29:29.

Harry with an endless supply of hugs and kisses,

:29:30.:29:32.

That letter sold for more than five times the guide price...

:29:33.:29:38.

Bids are coming in online and on the phone from across the world,

:29:39.:29:45.

I'm told particularly America, Japan and Australia and all the lots

:29:46.:29:48.

so far have easily exceeded their reserve price.

:29:49.:29:53.

Alluding, perhaps, to the troubles in her marriage,

:29:54.:29:57.

which were about to be made public, she thanks Cyril for thinking

:29:58.:30:00.

of her at this "difficult period" and writes that the boys are well

:30:01.:30:03.

and enjoying boarding school a lot, although Harry

:30:04.:30:06.

Again, this sold for more than ?3,000.

:30:07.:30:11.

Today, his grandson watched nervously as the family collection

:30:12.:30:17.

I mean, it's a good thing my grandfather's

:30:18.:30:23.

name's ben spread, and, again, my family.

:30:24.:30:27.

And, again, it just raises the profile of what a great

:30:28.:30:31.

The royal family is a source of fascination around the world and,

:30:32.:30:38.

almost 20 years after her death, it appears the interest in Diana

:30:39.:30:41.
