:00:09. > :00:11.President Obama has been on on Capitol Hill today -
:00:12. > :00:19.and there's one word on everyone's lips.
:00:20. > :00:23.Donald Trump wants to ditch Barack Obama's signature signature
:00:24. > :00:26.health care policy - and he has Congress on side.
:00:27. > :00:29.But it's not going without a fight - we'll live in Washington.
:00:30. > :00:32.The UK has chosen this man - Sir Tim Farrow to be its new top
:00:33. > :00:42.The day after the current man with the job resigned.
:00:43. > :00:45.There have been protests in Tel Aviv after an Israeli soldier
:00:46. > :00:46.was convicted of manslaughter for killing a disarmed
:00:47. > :00:54.We will tell you what Benjamin Netanyahu has said about that.
:00:55. > :00:55.More videos have emerged of the shocking scenes
:00:56. > :01:00.A number of women were sexually assaulted by groups of men.
:01:01. > :01:02.We'll have the latest on the investigation.
:01:03. > :01:05.And if you want to get in touch at any point
:01:06. > :01:28.A huge political battle is playing out in Washington DC.
:01:29. > :01:32.Here's President Obama arriving on Capitol Hill earlier.
:01:33. > :01:37.He was there to talk to Democrats
:01:38. > :01:40.in Congress about trying to save his Affordable Care Act,
:01:41. > :01:45.It's a complicated law - but at its heart is a requirement
:01:46. > :01:48.for all Americans to have health insurance - and for some to get
:01:49. > :01:56.The Republicans have always hated the way it works -
:01:57. > :02:01.and now that they control Congress and soon the White House.
:02:02. > :02:06.None of this is a surprise, Donald Trump has
:02:07. > :02:17.Obamacare has to be replaced and we will do it and we will do it very,
:02:18. > :02:20.very quickly. It is a catastrophe. As well as Mr Obama,
:02:21. > :02:22.Vice President Elect, Mike Pence Reuters reports he's said
:02:23. > :02:33.the Republican plan to replace the Affordable Care Act will evolve
:02:34. > :02:53.in the months ahead. We have the grand battle between the
:02:54. > :02:56.outgoing administration and the incoming one.
:02:57. > :03:05.They have the first part of the plan, getting rid of it but the
:03:06. > :03:11.second part is a bit more vague. It's up in the air, as Mike Pence
:03:12. > :03:15.explained, there is a twofold process that the Republicans want to
:03:16. > :03:18.do, they want Donald Trump to take executive actions to roll back the
:03:19. > :03:25.health care reform. The president has a fair amount of regular to
:03:26. > :03:28.really weigh in where the money goes and how to enforce certain mandates
:03:29. > :03:36.within the act, but then it's going to take action by Congress in order
:03:37. > :03:41.to fully pull it back. Without a clear plan, there is no clear plan
:03:42. > :03:45.yet that has been explained. Paul Ryan, the House Speaker, said that
:03:46. > :03:49.they would come up with a plan and they will not take away insurance
:03:50. > :03:52.from people who have it. That is like jumping off a bridge and then
:03:53. > :03:57.trying to figure out where you're going to land in midair. It's a
:03:58. > :04:01.risky process and the Republicans are going to try and repeal it
:04:02. > :04:07.without knowing what kind of effect it's going to have and what they
:04:08. > :04:09.will put in its place because 20 million Americans are relying on
:04:10. > :04:15.health care reform for their health insurance. We must have some clues,
:04:16. > :04:20.they've been critical of Obamacare from day one, the Republicans don't
:04:21. > :04:24.believe in netting the poorer people in society go without, they just
:04:25. > :04:34.want to do it a different way, right? There are some different
:04:35. > :04:38.ideas, congressmen Price came up with a fairly detailed plan which
:04:39. > :04:43.involves doing away with the mandate that all Americans must buy
:04:44. > :04:47.insurance and instead putting high risk individuals with pre-existing
:04:48. > :04:50.conditions or serious conditions in high risk groups that are subsidised
:04:51. > :04:56.by the government but that still takes money. Also the idea that
:04:57. > :05:01.Republicans have time and time again put forward the idea of health
:05:02. > :05:05.savings accounts, putting money away tax-free that you can use to pay for
:05:06. > :05:13.health care expenses, the kind of way we do retirement in the states,
:05:14. > :05:16.with the 401 K plans, so the ideas are out there but we don't know
:05:17. > :05:20.which ones they will pick. Donald Trump has said there are some
:05:21. > :05:24.portions of health care reform that he likes such as the pre-existing
:05:25. > :05:31.condition coverage, allowing young people to stay on their parents'
:05:32. > :05:36.insurance but they require certain trade-offs and that must be spelt
:05:37. > :05:39.out in new legislation. I get why President Obama is putting in the
:05:40. > :05:45.time now, he spent so much time getting the act through but in
:05:46. > :05:51.reality, his visits to Capitol Hill Cavani do so much? True, he said he
:05:52. > :05:56.regretted not being able to be there and fight alongside them because the
:05:57. > :06:02.battle is going to be in Congress, especially the Senate, where there
:06:03. > :06:07.are 48 Democrats, they can block a lot of these provisions, they have
:06:08. > :06:11.the filibuster they can use to prevent any kind of Republican plan
:06:12. > :06:16.being enacted. Obama said, don't let Republicans off the hook, they will
:06:17. > :06:23.own it and the Democrats can back him up. Thank you for joining us.
:06:24. > :06:27.Building up to January the 20th, when Donald Trump takes over.
:06:28. > :06:29.Yesterday the UK's top diplomat in Brussels resigned.
:06:30. > :06:51.All of this is happening ahead of the start of Brexit negotiations -
:06:52. > :06:55.which we're expecting in March or April.
:06:56. > :07:00.This is not long after the UK triggers the end of Article 50.
:07:01. > :07:04.Sir Tim Barrow was the political director at the Foreign Office.
:07:05. > :07:08.For his part Sir Ivan Rogers sent an email to staff
:07:09. > :07:29.Didn't need to be a code breaker to see his targets.
:07:30. > :07:37.Those of you in the UK know that Whitehall is the base of the UK
:07:38. > :07:41.civil servants. The sentiment was seconded by one of the EU's main
:07:42. > :07:54.Brexit negotiators, Guy Verhofstadt. Here's Damian Grammaticus
:07:55. > :08:06.in Brussels on how all The criticism in the UK was that Sir
:08:07. > :08:11.Ivan Rogers had allowed his personal feelings perhaps to get in the way.
:08:12. > :08:16.Here that view I think is this counted. The European Commission
:08:17. > :08:18.came out today and also said, "We regret the loss of a very
:08:19. > :08:26.professional and knowledgeable diplomat who always loyally defended
:08:27. > :08:29.the interests of his government." Sir Ivan Rogers was in Brussels and
:08:30. > :08:33.spent all his time over the last couple of years negotiating for
:08:34. > :08:40.David Cameron as British Prime Minister with the other 27
:08:41. > :08:45.countries. What Guy Verhofstadt seems to have said is that he was a
:08:46. > :08:49.loyal defender, not a pro-EU figure, they found him a tough person
:08:50. > :08:55.advocating UK interests. Decoding this, they are saying that the
:08:56. > :08:57.criticism from the UK is unfair. Explain the role that this
:08:58. > :09:05.ambassador plays between the European Union and its powerful
:09:06. > :09:10.figures and the UK Government. Good question and it is a very important
:09:11. > :09:15.role because the ambassadors from the 28 countries here here, they are
:09:16. > :09:22.cold the permanent representatives, they sit here and they do the heavy
:09:23. > :09:28.lifting, the hard work on everything that must be agreed between the EU
:09:29. > :09:35.countries, whether its sanctions on Russia, issues about fish quotas and
:09:36. > :09:40.trading, whatever issues the EU is facing. They thrash it out around
:09:41. > :09:43.the table among the 28, they get to and understanding if they can and
:09:44. > :09:47.then the ministers and leaders arrive in town to tie up the final
:09:48. > :09:56.details and sign off on the new agreement. They really are in the
:09:57. > :10:00.front van der Garde -- vanguard of countries advancing their interests.
:10:01. > :10:03.They then go back to their home countries, Sir Ivan would do this
:10:04. > :10:08.every week, to deliver the message to London, this is the thinking,
:10:09. > :10:12.from the other countries. Something else that was pointed out, so Ivan
:10:13. > :10:15.Rogers had three years of experience, building up good
:10:16. > :10:19.contacts and a good working knowledge and that has to be
:10:20. > :10:26.replaced with a new figure, Sir Tim Barrow, one of the most senior
:10:27. > :10:30.diplomats in the UK. We are one hour of international news from the BBC
:10:31. > :10:31.newsroom. We've reported from Brussels and Washington, DC. Next,
:10:32. > :10:34.Israel. A military court in Tel Aviv has
:10:35. > :10:36.convicted this Israeli He shot dead a wounded Palestinian
:10:37. > :10:41.man in Hebron last March. This video was crucial
:10:42. > :10:53.to the conviction. You can see the soldier circled in
:10:54. > :10:58.red, cocking his rifle. The man in blue was shot. He was called Abdul
:10:59. > :11:01.Fatah al-Sharif. A few minutes earlier,
:11:02. > :11:03.a soldier had been stabbed by Abdul Fatah Sharif
:11:04. > :11:05.and one other man. Israeli troops had then
:11:06. > :11:07.shot both of them - killing the other man,
:11:08. > :11:09.and wounding Sharif. Sergeant Azaria told the court
:11:10. > :11:12.thought there might be a suicide belt under
:11:13. > :11:15.Abdul Fatah Sharif's jacket. Three military judges
:11:16. > :11:39.saw it differently. In the last couple hours,
:11:40. > :11:41.the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reacted to the verdict
:11:42. > :11:51.on his facebook site. The Prime Minister calling for a
:11:52. > :11:56.pardon, the judges have said that the soldier shot dead someone on the
:11:57. > :12:00.floor who represented no immediate threat to the accused. We now have
:12:01. > :12:08.more on this story and the reaction. The family of Abdul Fatah al-Sharif
:12:09. > :12:14.as did Israeli human rights groups. There have been politicians talking
:12:15. > :12:24.about this, the defence Minister had spoken before taking up his current
:12:25. > :12:29.role, in support of Sergeant Azaria calling for public restraint, saying
:12:30. > :12:35.that this was a difficult verdict. Does the soldier have any option to
:12:36. > :12:40.appeal? Certainly after the sentencing which will be at a later
:12:41. > :12:44.date, the Sergeant has the option to appeal and legal experts we've
:12:45. > :12:50.spoken to expect him to appeal in this case. The defence argued that
:12:51. > :12:54.the panel of three military judges, as they delivered their verdict,
:12:55. > :13:01.overlooked some important aspects of their arguments. In this case, the
:13:02. > :13:09.maximum penalty for manslaughter is 20 years but it has been suggested
:13:10. > :13:14.to me that Sergeant Azaria would be sentenced to a much shorter time in
:13:15. > :13:17.jail, perhaps five years. Now, as we're hearing, more calls from
:13:18. > :13:19.Israeli politicians for him to pardoned.

:13:57. > :13:58.with keeping him informed And right in the middle
:13:59. > :14:04.of all of this is John Brennan. He's head of the Central
:14:05. > :14:08.Intelligence Agency, the CIA, and he's given an interview to PBS
:14:09. > :14:10.Newshour. In it he talks about those Russia

:14:27. > :14:29.ability as the US intelligence community so I'd suggest to those

:14:36. > :14:37.they wait and see what it is that the intelligence community is
:14:38. > :14:40.putting forward before they make those judgments. We expect more
