:00:10. > :00:13.of the President's senior advisors is forced to resign.
:00:14. > :00:16.There was a breakdown of trust following Michael Flynn's misleading
:00:17. > :00:18.account of contacts with Russian officials before
:00:19. > :00:22.The issue, plain and simple, came down to a matter of trust
:00:23. > :00:29.Mr Flynn was said to have conducted unlawful talks with Russian
:00:30. > :00:32.diplomats and senior Republicans backed the decision
:00:33. > :00:39.I think the President made the right decision to ask for his resignation.
:00:40. > :00:41.You cannot have a national security advisor misleading
:00:42. > :00:47.We'll be asking what the resignation tells us about the workings

:02:09. > :02:12.presidency is in turmoil following the resignation
:02:13. > :02:15.of his national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
:02:16. > :02:18.Mr Trump's spokesman said the level of trust between the two
:02:19. > :02:20.men had been damaged, making Mr Flynn's
:02:21. > :02:26.Mike Flynn had admitted misleading colleagues over his contact
:02:27. > :02:29.with Russian diplomats before Mr Trump took office.
:02:30. > :02:33.But the White House is now facing further questions
:02:34. > :02:35.about the extent of its knowledge of Mr Flynn's activity.
:02:36. > :02:38.Our North America editor Jon Sopel is at the White
:02:39. > :02:51.There's always that question, did he jump or was he pushed? Overnight,
:02:52. > :02:55.this morning, all the stress was on that Mr Flynn had reflected, thought
:02:56. > :03:00.it was probably best for the administration, if he left. That all
:03:01. > :03:04.changed this lunchtime when the former three star General was
:03:05. > :03:08.unceremoniously thrown under the bus by the administration.
:03:09. > :03:13.Politically inseparable, but after just three weeks
:03:14. > :03:15.as national security adviser, Michael Flynn has gone
:03:16. > :03:18.in a stunning fall from grace, after a day of chaos and confusion
:03:19. > :03:27.The camera loving president, suddenly becoming camera shy
:03:28. > :03:33.But today, the President's spokesman came out all guns blazing,
:03:34. > :03:36.the former close friend had lost the President's trust.
:03:37. > :03:39.We got to a point, not based on a legal issue,
:03:40. > :03:45.but based on a trust issue with a level of trust
:03:46. > :03:48.between the president and General Flynn had
:03:49. > :03:50.eroded to the point where he felt he had
:03:51. > :03:54.The president was very concerned that General Flynn had misled
:03:55. > :03:58.The evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this
:03:59. > :04:00.situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led
:04:01. > :04:04.the president to ask for General Flynn's resignation.
:04:05. > :04:08.The Republican leadership, always uncomfortable
:04:09. > :04:14.about the unorthodox General, were relieved to see him go.
:04:15. > :04:16.You cannot have a national security adviser misleading the vice
:04:17. > :04:20.So I think the president was right to ask for his resignation
:04:21. > :04:22.and I believe it was the right thing to do.
:04:23. > :04:25.This all goes back to action taken over the Christmas
:04:26. > :04:26.period by the former President Barack Obama,
:04:27. > :04:28.to impose sanctions against Russia over its interference
:04:29. > :04:35.On the 29th of December, Michael Flynn speaks to the Russian
:04:36. > :04:39.Ambassador in the first of a series of calls.
:04:40. > :04:41.On the 15th of January, vice-president Mike Pence denies
:04:42. > :04:47.What I can confirm, having spoken to him about it,
:04:48. > :04:51.is that those conversations that happened to occur around the time
:04:52. > :04:55.that the United States took action to expel diplomats had nothing
:04:56. > :04:58.whatsoever to do with those sanctions.
:04:59. > :05:03.But in late January, the former acting Attorney General
:05:04. > :05:05.warned the White House it might have been misled by General
:05:06. > :05:10.But then on the 9th of February, the Washington Post revealed Flynn
:05:11. > :05:14.did discuss sanctions and it was then pressure grew.
:05:15. > :05:17.And Democrats are not going to let the matter go.
:05:18. > :05:21.The resignation of Michael Flynn was brought about, not
:05:22. > :05:24.by discovering the falsehood, but by the fact that
:05:25. > :05:30.And that ought to be deeply disturbing to everyone.
:05:31. > :05:33.Welcome to the stage, General Mike Flynn,
:05:34. > :05:39.Michael Flynn was a spear carrier for Donald Trump
:05:40. > :05:41.during the election, making Hillary Clinton's honesty
:05:42. > :05:59.We do not need a wreckless President who believes she is above the law.
:06:00. > :06:05.Yes, that's right, lock her up. But now it is Michael Flynn who on a
:06:06. > :06:06.question of trust has been found wanting and finds himself very much
:06:07. > :06:10.alone. In a moment we'll speak to Jon
:06:11. > :06:13.at the White House but first to Moscow and our correspondent
:06:14. > :06:20.there Steve Rosenberg. Steve, the Kremlin saying this is a
:06:21. > :06:26.matter for the US but behind the scenes what's been said? Well, there
:06:27. > :06:29.is a degree of anger. Today several prominent Russian politicians took
:06:30. > :06:34.to social media to express their anger and to claim that Michael
:06:35. > :06:40.Flynn was a victim of anti-Russia paranoia in America but the Kremlin
:06:41. > :06:43.said it wasn't going to comment and tonight Russian state television
:06:44. > :06:47.didn't even mention the story in its main news, partly, I suspect,
:06:48. > :06:51.because the whole thing is embarrassing for the Kremlin, but I
:06:52. > :06:57.also think that Russia feels it doesn't need to make a lot out of
:06:58. > :07:00.this because, after all, Moscow is counting on Donald Trump to change
:07:01. > :07:05.US-Russia relations, not Michael Flynn. The Russians believe it is
:07:06. > :07:09.going to be the Trump-Putin chemistry or lack of it that will be
:07:10. > :07:14.the decisive factor here. One other thing that the Russians are aware
:07:15. > :07:19.of, if these two leaders don't get on, if relations don't improve, then
:07:20. > :07:23.Moscow know it is can fall back on its old way of doing things,
:07:24. > :07:28.treating America as an external enemy, as a scapegoat for Russia's
:07:29. > :07:32.own problems. From here at least it looks like whatever happens Russia
:07:33. > :07:36.emerges the winner. Let's go to Washington and Jon, when
:07:37. > :07:41.we look at this latest sequence of events what does it tell us about
:07:42. > :07:45.the way this White House is functioning? If you were being
:07:46. > :07:49.extremely kind you would say it is an administration that is still
:07:50. > :07:54.finding its feet. If you were being harsh you would say it is like a
:07:55. > :07:57.hornets nest that's been bashed very hard, sometimes it's dysfunctional
:07:58. > :08:00.the way it operates. What has been striking is I don't think they worry
:08:01. > :08:03.too much about that, it is what the people in the country who backed
:08:04. > :08:08.Donald Trump think that they care most about. They've loved what he
:08:09. > :08:13.said about immigration and jobs and border controls and all of that.
:08:14. > :08:18.They don't get his attitude to Vladimir Putin. This is a man
:08:19. > :08:21.prepared to pick a fight with anybody on Twitter, except Vladimir
:08:22. > :08:28.Putin. There was a marked change of tone from the administration today
:08:29. > :08:31.saying you don't know how tough we are being on Russia. I had obviously
:08:32. > :08:37.missed that. There is a new tone and they want that ring out. One other
:08:38. > :08:42.twist in an extraordinary 24 hours, the counsellor to the President has
:08:43. > :08:49.been found guilty by the Government ethics watchdog of a clear violation
:08:50. > :08:54.of their rules when she went on television and actually advertised
:08:55. > :08:56.Ivanka Trump's clothes line. It hasn't been a perfect 24 hours for
:08:57. > :09:02.the administration. Thank you.
:09:03. > :09:04.The half-brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un,
:09:05. > :09:07.is reported to have been killed in a poison attack at
:09:08. > :09:12.American intelligence sources say they strongly believe that
:09:13. > :09:15.Kim Jong-nam was murdered by North Korean agents.
:09:16. > :09:18.He'd been critical of his half-brother's regime and had left
:09:19. > :09:20.North Korea after being passed over for the leadership of the country.
:09:21. > :09:23.Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes -
:09:24. > :09:26.who was detained in North Korea last year and is now in Tokyo -
:09:27. > :09:32.This is Kim Jong-nam whose body is thought to be the one now lying
:09:33. > :09:39.Officials there say he died after being sprayed in the face
:09:40. > :09:41.with something at Kuala Lumpur airport this morning.
:09:42. > :09:46.South Korean media immediately claimed North Korean agents had
:09:47. > :09:49.assassinated Kim on the orders of his own younger
:09:50. > :09:56.North Korea's young dictator has been tightening his grip
:09:57. > :09:59.on power, ruthlessly purging potential opponents.
:10:00. > :10:07.Last year I saw for myself how strange North Korea can be.
:10:08. > :10:12.I was detained and expelled for insulting the Kim leadership.
:10:13. > :10:16.Much more telling is what he did to his own uncle,
:10:17. > :10:23.Jang Sung-taek was hauled away from a party meeting accused
:10:24. > :10:31.Has he now also eliminated his brother?
:10:32. > :10:34.Kim Jong-nam was once his father's favourite being groomed to one day
:10:35. > :10:36.take over as North Korea's Supreme Leader.
:10:37. > :10:39.But his downfall began here in Tokyo when he was caught sneaking
:10:40. > :10:47.These pictures of his humiliating deportation from Japan are said
:10:48. > :10:51.to have deeply angered his father, North Korea's late
:10:52. > :10:59.His place at his father's side was taken instead by his younger
:11:00. > :11:04.Kim Jong-nam then went into exile in Macau.
:11:05. > :11:07.In interviews he repeatedly said he had no interest in power.
:11:08. > :11:13.Kim Jong-nam, although he had been quiet and lying low for a while -
:11:14. > :11:18.not low enough it seems - had gone off message badly before.
:11:19. > :11:24.He had said some stuff about not believing in hereditary succession
:11:25. > :11:27.and maybe in this kind of a system, like medieval Europe,
:11:28. > :11:29.any other possible claimant to the Kingship could potentially

:11:50. > :11:51.Inflation reached a two-and-a-half year high in January.
:11:52. > :11:56.The Consumer Prices Index rose to 1.8% - up from 1.6% in December.
:11:57. > :11:58.The rise has been driven by increases in the cost
:11:59. > :12:08.The price of raw materials and fuel for factories is up 20%
:12:09. > :12:11.because of the fall in the value of sterling since the Brexit vote.
:12:12. > :12:12.Our economics correspondent Andy Verity reports.
:12:13. > :12:16.Prices may be up, but it's not yet the consumer who's
:12:17. > :12:19.being squeezed hardest, it's the company that sells
:12:20. > :12:22.you the goods and even more so the companies that produce them.

:13:12. > :13:17.The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee is seeking to manage
:13:18. > :13:21.inflation to maintain itself at or around 2%.
:13:22. > :13:25.So when inflation is at this level the economy should be working well.
:13:26. > :13:27.It's worth remembering we've been through one of the tamest periods
:13:28. > :13:36.The price of food overall is down 2% on two years ago.
:13:37. > :13:38.And if you take vegetables, like potatoes, down by 4%.
:13:39. > :13:43.The key question is with petrol prices rise by 17%, when will these

:13:59. > :14:04.Their fuel prices are going up, their food costs are going up,

:14:08. > :14:12.in inflation keep going we predict we could cost rises of nearly 10%.

:14:29. > :14:36.The Ukip leader Paul Nuttall has been forced to admit that he did not
:14:37. > :14:38.lose any close personal friends in the Hillsborough
:14:39. > :14:41.football disaster - contrary to claims on his website.
:14:42. > :14:44.He made the admission in an interview with
:14:45. > :14:47.Liverpool's Radio City Talk and insisted he HAD been

:19:00. > :19:01.it would be a game-changer, creating a giant, behind only
:19:02. > :19:03.Volkswagen, in European car production and whenever you get
