Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.

President Obama has spent much of the day on Capitol Hill.

The new Republican-led Congress has vowed to repeal

New footage has emerged form New Year's Eve in Bangalore.

It shows the scale of the large number of sexual assaults that

A new cycling world record was set today.

It was done by this man - he's from France and he's 105 years old.

It's January 4th - already the average top CEO

in the UK has earned more than what the average

The BBC's Business Editor, Simon Jack, will look at that for us.

More on multiple sexual assaults in Bangalore

Yesterday, we reported on how groups of men molesting dozens of women.

Today, more pictures of what happened have emerged.

You can see a woman being attacked by two men on a scooter.

They start to harass her and to molest her.

In this case, the women managed to escape.

Six arrests have been made - the suggestion is many

Anna Isaac is from the Indian website The News Minute.

She helped me out with some more details on the story. It is very

difficult to estimate how many women, because the police themselves

haven't gotten a single complaint from New Year's Eve. Even that 1's

incident that we do not have footage of, the woman didn't go and file a

complaint. A complaint was registered on her behalf. So we have

no estimates of how many people molested that night. We saw that one

woman being approached on a quiet street, but is the suggestion that

most of the assault happened within the main crowd in Bangalore? It's

difficult, because we have seen pictures of that night. That

happened right in the centre of town. There were over 1500 police

personnel stationed at that main junction. That didn't really stop

these allegations. Is it your perception that New Year's Eve in

Bangalore was an unusual event, a one-off event? Or are we just

focusing on this issue in a way that we perhaps have not done before? It

is shocking, it is perhaps shocking because it happened in Bangalore.

It's shocking because it happened in the south. People are generally used

to hearing of incidents of violence against women in the North, in New

Delhi, and in other parts of the North. It's sort of shattered the

image that the South has of being a haven for women, being more safe for

women. I think that's why we are actually seeing such outrage, not

just on the streets, but on social media. Bangalore is considered a

relatively more cosmopolitan city. There are people from all parts of

the country. A lot of expats live here in Bangalore. That is why we

are seeing this conversation. Of course, it was New Year's Eve, there

was police protection there. I think that's why we are seeing the outrage

and shocked that people may not have witnessed otherwise. We were talking

about the local minister who said it was the fault of the women for

behaving like Westerners. What do your readers make of that? Mixed

reactions. One, of course, is that it is not uncommon to hear victim

blaming from the politicians. It is horrifying, it is shocking that it

comes from a minister who is essentially, he should be protecting

women, making public spaces safer for women. We are not seeing those

conversations in social media or in the political sphere, so that is why

it is so shocking it is coming from the Minister of the state. He has

made comparisons, saying that women should not try and a western

culture. That is why we are seeing the scenes we are, men will be men,

and this is bound to happen. That is not something you would expect from

a politician in the ruling party. Thanks to for that. I can access any

information coming through the BBC newsroom on the Outside Source

screen, including reports that have come in through the day. I want to

do that now and turn to Myanmar. To Myanmar, and these allegations

that there have been widespread human rights abuses committed

against a Muslim minority. Well, a commission set up

by the government says it's found no evidence of genocide

or widespead rapes. The allegations centre

on Rakhine State. We know that tens of thousands

of Rohingya Muslims have left Jonah Fisher is our

correspondent there. This investigation commission is

headed by a military man, a former general, the current Vice President

of the Janmaat, Myint Swe, so its interim conclusions are no great

surprise. The question of whether genocide has been taking place in

Northern Rakhine State against the Rohingya Muslims, as alleged by the

Prime Minister. The report says that genocide has not been taking place,

and cites the fact that Rohingya Muslims are still present in Rakhine

State as evidence of that. And the fact that religious buildings and

mosques have not been destroyed. On other allegations such as rape, the

report says that there is insufficient evidence for any legal

action to be taking place. Scores of Rohingya women have said they have

been raped by security forces in northern Rakhine State. On other

allegations, such as torture and arbitrary arrest, the Commission

says it is still looking into those claims. Strangely, on the most

serious of all of the allegations made against the Birmingham security

forces, the suggestion that they have been killing Rohingya citizens

as some sort of collective punishment for attacks of Rohingya

militants on their positions - there was nothing on that in this interim

report. It wasn't even addressed. This is an interim report that will

be finalised by the end of January, and then presented to Myanmar's de

facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. It looks unlikely that the report will

change much before then. It is really interesting to look at

Jonah Fisher's updates online. Chelsea are trying to set a record

for top flight English football. If they beat Tottenham,

that will make 14 wins Let's bring in the BBC Sports

Centre. Last time I looked, this was not going to plan.

Well, it is a match that lacked quality in the first half.

There was much of the intensity and aggression that typified

the encounter last May that saw Chelsea end Tottenham's title hopes,

but with both teams employing three defenders at the back,

the game was rarely stretched, and chances were at a real premium.

That was until one minute into stoppage time at the end

of the first half, when England midfielder Dele Alli found himself

in an ocean of space in the Chelsea penalty area to head past

Thibaut Courtois and put Spurs ahead.

It came from an uncharacteristic lack of communication in the Chelsea

defence and some lovely movement from the goal-scorer.

And it's now 2-0 with the second a near replica -

Denmark's Christian Eriksen floating in another lovely cross

from the right which Alli duly nodded in, past Courtois.

So after 13 games unbeaten, Antonio Conte's Chelsea are staring

at what would be a rather deserved defeat.

Nonetheless, it is quite an achievement, whether it is 13 or 14

in a row. I guess that is not going to be beaten in the near future.

Yes, and it would have been something special to match Arsenal's

Premier League record of 14. They will be very happy with where they

are in the table. Victory for Mauricio Pochettino

and his Spurs side they would have won five games

in a row and crucially will move above rivals Arsenal

into the Premier League's top four. For Chelsea it would be

disappointing, but they would stay five points clear of Liverpool

at the top. Of course, on the flip side of that,

Jurgen Klopp and those Liverpool White Hart Lane has not been a great

place for Chelsea to go in recent years. 2-0 down with less than ten

minutes to go. Thank you for that. You can follow this on the BBC News

Brazilian side Chapecoense will sign up to 20 new

There are some of them - that's Rossi, Nadson

The team lost 19 players and also coaching staff in a plane crash in

November. The team will also reserve shirt

numbers for the three players A new cycling world record

for the hour was set today. This is the man who did it -

Robert Marchand - 92 laps, 22.5 kilometres, Robert

Marsh and has done it again. The Frenchman is already the time the

record-holder of time trial for centenarians, but now he is the

record-holder for centenarians aged over 105. Robert Marchand has always

been a fitness fan. He has been a gymnastics champion and a boxer. He

never smoked, drinks only the occasional glass of wine, and he

exercises. TRANSLATION: I do ten to 20

kilometres every day, but I do not train outside any more. It gives me

the flu. With more people around the world living into the hundreds, the

case of Robert Marsh and can only inspire, though according to his

coaches, his physique is somewhat of an exception. He has an exceptional

heart. He has the heart of a 16-year-old. His heart beat is slow

and steady. Yesterday we did a 20 minute test, and over 20 minutes,

his heart beat was regular. At the end of this exploit, Robert

Marchand said that his legs were fine, but it with his arms that

hurt. The record now has to be confirmed by International cycling's

anti-doping authority. At least 150 prisoners

have escaped from a jail in the southern Philippines,

following an attack Flowers have been laid

on Coniston Water in the Lake District to mark the 50th

anniversary of the death of the land and water speed record

holder, Donald Campbell. His jet-powered boat, Bluebird,

broke into pieces as he attempted Exactly 50 years since

her father died here, Gina Campbell rowed

across Coniston Water In her hands, Donald Campbell's

teddy bear mascot, which floated to the surface

after his fatal crash. And then, in the middle of the lake,

flowers, to mark the spot where ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: Campbell

was one of a rare breed, a true patriot, flying the flag

for Britain wherever he went. Campbell died trying

to beat his own record The speed ace had many fans,

who watched as he hurtled past The whole project had

been quite exciting, as you could imagine,

for an 11-year-old boy. I was really keen not

to miss any of the action. We were just of the feeling

that he'd just about got through the magic kilometre

and broken the record when the front end of the boat lifted and,

of course, Bluebird turned over Today, at his grave nearby,

Gina Campbell remembered And it was beyond those

days of risk assessment And, you know, he went out

and he did what he did. He did it most times

with huge success. And just this one time

it went a bit wrong. Half a century on, Donald Campbell's

name is celebrated by enthusiasts who also gathered in Coniston today

to pay tribute to him. He's a very popular man,

his legacy is tremendous. 50 years ago today, he was trying

to do 300 miles an hour. It's a really tough record,

as tragically it proved here. Campbell's legendary Bluebird

was finally lifted out of the water in 2001, having spent more than 30

years below the lake. Volunteers have been working

painstakingly to restore it. And it's hoped that,

before too long, Donald Campbell's family and fans

say that would be a fitting tribute to the eight-times world record

holder who they remember as a hero. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. President Obama has been

at Capitol Hill attempting to save his legacy from the incoming

Republican-controlled Congress. If you're outside of the UK,

it's World News America next. They've got a report

on the centre piece of the British Natural History Museum -

Dippy the Diplodocus. It's off on a two-year-long

tour, and a blue whale Here in the UK, the

News at Ten is next. They've got a report

form our Middle East correspondent on the British doctor

helping to treat the wounded I was just mentioning that President

Obama had been to capital Hill earlier, possibly his last visit as

president. Donald Trump will become president on January the 20th. He

spoke to the Congress, trying to secure Obamacare, or the affordable

care act, a piece of legislation he wanted to use to deliver health care

to all Americans. The Republicans do not like how it works and are trying

to do away with it. He spent the afternoon addressing troops gathered

at a special farewell ceremony in Virginia. The president is also the

commander-in-chief in America. As part of this talk, he said a few

things that sounded like a veiled attack on Mr Trump. We need to

remember that we must not give the false illusion isolationism, because

in this dangerous time, oceans alone will not protect us, and the world

still seeks and needs our leadership as the the one indispensable nation.

We have to remember to be prepared for the full spectrum of threats,

conventional and unconventional, from 20th century style aggression

to 21st-century style cyber threats. More than 150 inmates have escaped

from a south Philippines prison after gunmen launched

an attack overnight. It happened at a jail

near Kidapawan city, Police say manhunt is now under way

for inmates who escaped. The prison authorities in Kidapawan

say the 20 or so staff in the jail were outnumbered and outgunned by

attackers armed with rocket propelled grenades and sniper

rifles. Following the attack, 158 prisoners were able to put a ladder

and bedding against a wall and escape. They were trying to stop the

attackers, and then you had the police response. In the commotion,

they used a wooden ladder. Many of the 1000 500 inmates at the jail are

linked to the various resurgent groups in Mindanao, and the Islamic

freedom fighters are already being blamed, a hardline faction which has

refused to join the peace talks of the government. The Philippines,

predominantly Catholic, has battled separatist in the south for decades,

amid kidnappings and violence. Prisons are no tourists the

overcrowded with lax security. Mass escapes on Mindanao have happened

several times in recent years. Filipino military and police are

conducting a hunt for escaped inmates. Just a handful have been

captured. A few hours ago, we reached a point

where the average CEO in one of the UK's top 100 businesses

will have earned as much as the average worker will make

in in the whole of 2017. Here are the figures

behind that claim. The average salary is

in the UK is ?28,200. The High Pay Centre puts

the average top CEO on almost This data is from the High Pay

Commission shows that this Ftse 100 CEOs earned 145 times

the average wage in 2010 - by 2020 it's predicted

they will earn 214 times as much. Here's our Business

Editor, Simon Jack. It is sometimes fat cat Monday, this

year it is fat cat Wednesday. We have done 1.5 days work, but already

the top CEOs have and more. It is depressing, and some people are

shocked. The thing is, it is getting worse. In the 70s, the average Chief

Executive and around 20 times what the average worker did, now it's

around 160 times. In the US it's even bigger, so there is a big

outcry. Are they worth it, is the question according to recent

studies, no. Although their pay has gone up in recent years, the return

from it, their businesses have gone up 1%. So, it seems they are not

working. The second question is, what to do about it? It is up to the

shareholders to see if the people who are running the company are

worth it. You get the odd rebellion, where shareholders waive these pay

deals through. Does it create social division and resentment, yes, which

is why governments try to get involved. In the UK, Theresa May has

said she wants to get a handle on it, because it is an unfair society.

She is going to try and do it. What about publishing pay multiples

within companies? A company like Goldman Sachs has a lot more than a

supermarket, so it is quite tough. If only one in five manager really

makes a difference, that would pull a club back in football. If you get

a superstar manager, even if they get paid ?5 million a year, as a

percentage of a top 100 company's expenses, it is tiny. So it doesn't

really make a difference to the overall cost of the company. It is a

question of pecking order. If you are Manchester United, do you want a

high paid striker? Yes. Everyone wants to be in the top bracket to

keep up with the Joneses, and that means that

executive pay leapfrogs whether they are worth it or not. This problem I

suspect will be here next year. Do any of them offer to have a pay cut?

One person did, from the Co-op. But it is unusual.

Thanks to Simon for that update. If you are a football fan, this has

just come through from BBC Sport. Tottenham have beaten Chelsea 2-0,

so Chelsea will not get that record-breaking 14 wins in a row in

the top flight in one season. It also means that Tottenham move up to

fourth. Chelsea stay first, five points clear of Liverpool. I will

see you tomorrow at the same time. Goodbye.

Hello. It has been a quiet start to the year weather-wise, but so far
