:00:13. > :00:14.Top US intelligence officials have been giving evidence on claims
:00:15. > :00:16.of Russian interference in the US election.
:00:17. > :00:19.They say Russia has an advanced cyber programme that poses a major
:00:20. > :00:23.threat to a wide range of US interests.
:00:24. > :00:34.A BBC investigation has found that illegal drugs are being bought
:00:35. > :00:36.online and delivered by mail all over the UK.
:00:37. > :00:45.Apple has withdrawn the New York Times from its China App Store,
:00:46. > :00:47.following a request from Chinese authorities.
:00:48. > :00:53.Michelle Fleury in New York has been looking in this for us.
:00:54. > :01:16.And if you want to get in touch we're on #BBCOS.
:01:17. > :01:24.As I talked to you, the outside source screen is blank so I'm going
:01:25. > :01:29.to try and present the programme from here, and I'm going to begin
:01:30. > :01:31.with what the American director of National Intelligence has said about
:01:32. > :01:39.Russian involvement in the US presidential election. This was a
:01:40. > :01:49.multifaceted campaign. So the hacking was only a part of it. It
:01:50. > :01:53.also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news.
:01:54. > :02:03.These activities are ongoing now in Europe, as Europe
:02:04. > :02:05.prepares for elections, is that a fair assumption?
:02:06. > :02:14.Yesterday the Wall Street Journal indicated that the President-elect
:02:15. > :02:19.is considering changes to the intelligence community. Have you, as
:02:20. > :02:24.the experts in this field, been engaged in these deliberations, and
:02:25. > :02:27.vice?: no, we have not. To reinforce the point,
:02:28. > :02:31.we have a joint statement from US It reads "Russia is
:02:32. > :02:36.a full-scope cyber actor that poses a major threat to US
:02:37. > :02:38.government, military, diplomatic, commercial
:02:39. > :02:41.and critical infrastructure. "We assess that only Russia's
:02:42. > :02:47.senior-most officials could have authorised the recent
:02:48. > :03:04.election-focused data Gordon Carreras gave me his
:03:05. > :03:08.assessment of what we have learned. In a way it was a preview for what I
:03:09. > :03:11.think will be the main event, when we get the report we are expecting
:03:12. > :03:14.next week from intelligence officials about the evidence of
:03:15. > :03:22.Russian hacking and interference in the election. They skirted around
:03:23. > :03:25.the issue, touching it on it at various points but they were careful
:03:26. > :03:29.about giving away too much detail. You got the broad outlines, they are
:03:30. > :03:36.confident with the assertion that Russia was responsible for trying to
:03:37. > :03:39.interfere with the election. Will we see the report? I did an interview
:03:40. > :03:43.with the Russian ambassador to the EU and he said that the Americans
:03:44. > :03:49.are saying this and he went, show me the evidence. Where is the detail?
:03:50. > :03:54.That's what everyone is waiting for, we are expecting some kind of report
:03:55. > :03:59.in detail. There will be different levels of classification. There will
:04:00. > :04:03.be a public report. There will be a secret report, possibly more than
:04:04. > :04:08.one with more detail. A lot of the evidence pointing towards why the US
:04:09. > :04:12.is so confident the Kremlin was behind it may well be very
:04:13. > :04:16.sensitive. It may be that the CIA has an agent in Moscow telling them
:04:17. > :04:22.that and they won't want to put too much detail in a public report.
:04:23. > :04:25.That's possible. They know they are under pressure, not least from
:04:26. > :04:30.Donald Trump and others, to produce evidence to show as much as they can
:04:31. > :04:34.to back up the assertion that the Kremlin was behind this alleged
:04:35. > :04:38.interference. Interesting that Europe was mentioned. That was
:04:39. > :04:42.interesting, a question from a Senator, do you think this kind of
:04:43. > :04:46.interference extends to Europe and is ongoing? The intelligence
:04:47. > :04:52.official said yes. We've heard it from some European countries. I
:04:53. > :04:55.spoke to the body area and president before their recent elections where
:04:56. > :04:59.he was standing down and he said that we have seen Russian attempts
:05:00. > :05:03.to manipulate the election. We've heard Germany talking about it,
:05:04. > :05:08.German officials sounding a warning about cyber attacks. Information
:05:09. > :05:14.operations, influence operations to try and affect politics. There may
:05:15. > :05:17.be people watching thinking, hold on, hasn't America been interfering
:05:18. > :05:22.in elections since the Second World War? On one level you are right.
:05:23. > :05:27.There was the interesting question, the Chinese hacked into the American
:05:28. > :05:33.system to steal data, was that something equivalent to what Russia
:05:34. > :05:34.did? American officials say that was espionage, different from
:05:35. > :05:39.interfering with an election. They are saying that espionage is
:05:40. > :05:48.standard and that they do that, so they won't kick up as much of eight
:05:49. > :05:56.fast. But people may point to history -- a fuss. America
:05:57. > :06:02.intervened in Iraq, but they may say that they don't do this any more --
:06:03. > :06:06.in Iran. Quick word about Donald Trump, he's a hard man to predict
:06:07. > :06:11.but you would expect him to make some changes in US intelligence
:06:12. > :06:14.based on his Twitter activity? A lot of nervousness in US intelligence.
:06:15. > :06:20.Fascinating meeting, when he sits down to talk about the evidence with
:06:21. > :06:24.them. They will wonder if he's going to do a clear out, whether he will
:06:25. > :06:28.change the direction, whether he will take some kind of retaliation
:06:29. > :06:31.for the sense that they have been criticising him and that he has been
:06:32. > :06:38.engaging in this spat over the election. Interesting to watch. We
:06:39. > :06:48.will talk to our correspondent in about 20 minutes about those issues.
:06:49. > :06:58.A car bomb and gun fire involved in a terrorist attack in Turkey. The
:06:59. > :07:05.first week of 2017 isn't over and yet there have been two terror
:07:06. > :07:08.attacks in Turkey. The second was in the City of Izmir, the courthouse
:07:09. > :07:15.was targeted, the police approaching a car outside to search it and then
:07:16. > :07:21.the attackers inside the car shot and tried to attack a policeman with
:07:22. > :07:25.an explosive device, a car bomb was detonated and in the mayhem one of
:07:26. > :07:29.the policemen was killed. A member of the court staff was killed and
:07:30. > :07:35.the two attackers were shot dead as well. The third attacker we believe
:07:36. > :07:40.is still at large, wearing a black jacket and a white beret. Officials
:07:41. > :07:44.say they expect that the PKK Kurdish militant group were behind the
:07:45. > :07:47.attack and may believe a much larger attack was foiled given the number
:07:48. > :07:56.of weapons found including machine guns and grenades. It's a few days
:07:57. > :08:04.after the New Year's Eve attack on the Reina nightclub, that gunman is
:08:05. > :08:09.still at large. Arrests have been made in Istanbul but not the gunmen,
:08:10. > :08:14.leaving people feeling nervous. It has shown how difficult it is to
:08:15. > :08:18.secure Turkey. How to keep the country safe. 80 million people,
:08:19. > :08:23.bordering Syria and Iraq, it has the Kurdish insurgency in the
:08:24. > :08:27.south-east, and it has the PKK and so-called Islamic State. More police
:08:28. > :08:32.alone is clearly not the answer, they must have better intelligence.
:08:33. > :08:36.Some attacks are being foiled but others are happening and that shows
:08:37. > :08:37.intelligence gaps and it is making this country feel extremely worried
:08:38. > :08:41.going into 2017. Mark mentioned the Istanbul attack,
:08:42. > :08:54.we had a development on that today. But today several men connected
:08:55. > :08:56.to him have been arrested, and all are reported to be

:09:02. > :09:03.relationship with China's Uighur separatists are often accused
:09:04. > :09:06.of terrorism in China. The government is accused
:09:07. > :09:21.of discriminating against Uighurs. The modern grievances are two fold,
:09:22. > :09:28.firstly some of them consider, they want a brief government of their
:09:29. > :09:31.own, they country called East Turkistant which vanished after the
:09:32. > :09:37.coming is to over in China, and some of them want to go back to the days
:09:38. > :09:43.of East Turkistan. Also they've complained about the millions of
:09:44. > :09:52.ethnic Chinese moving in from other provinces into the province where
:09:53. > :09:57.they mainly live, making them a minority. That is the ethnic tension
:09:58. > :10:01.side of the complaint. In terms of the radicalisation, the Chinese
:10:02. > :10:12.government has made claims for many years, from the Taliban time because
:10:13. > :10:19.ten free Mac is near Afghanistan. Claims that the Taliban worth

:10:43. > :10:45.where a large amount of illegal material and products
:10:46. > :10:48.are shared and sold. Jim Connolly from BBC
:10:49. > :10:57.Newsbeat has the story. It is an illegal trade worth
:10:58. > :11:03.millions but your local postman could an Wichary -- good unwittingly
:11:04. > :11:12.be delivering drugs. More and more people are buying drugs on the dark

:11:17. > :11:24.what? You tell the managers and they say that you must deliver it, tell
:11:25. > :11:30.them to be more careful. Really? The Royal Mail says that it does not

:11:34. > :11:36.becoming more popular with people like Steve who would only talk to us

:11:51. > :11:54.thank you very much, she was completely unaware that she was part
:11:55. > :11:59.of the drugs trade. This part of London news to be home to lots of
:12:00. > :12:03.shots where you could purchase legal highs. The government say that new
:12:04. > :12:07.laws to tackle this mean that the shops have closed down but we
:12:08. > :12:11.managed to get these drugs on the dark web, getting around the issue.
:12:12. > :12:15.We asked the government to speak to us about this but they declined.
:12:16. > :12:20.They say they are spending ?1.9 billion over the next five years on

:12:26. > :12:31.met Chris, an independent security expert. Everything about it is
:12:32. > :12:38.pretty much like eBay but it looks a bit more amateurish? The technology
:12:39. > :12:43.is not as mature in many cases but you are accessing a very anon I
:12:44. > :12:53.website which is hard to track down. We purchased ecstasy, marijuana and

:30:15. > :30:15.Top US Intelligence officials have given
:30:16. > :30:20.evidence on claims of Russian interference in the US election.
:30:21. > :30:22.They warned of cyber attacks as well as other
:30:23. > :30:40.The hacking was only one part of it. It also entails classical
:30:41. > :30:45.propaganda, disinformation, fake news. In recent years, many
:30:46. > :30:49.scientists have been saying that there has been a slowdown in global
:30:50. > :30:53.warming. New data suggests that is full.
:30:54. > :31:01.Our environment correspondent will talk us through that.
:31:02. > :31:04.We're going to update you on the claims of mass sexual

:31:07. > :31:10.The city'ss police chief says there's no evidence it happened.
:31:11. > :31:14.And a new study shows that there may be a link
:31:15. > :31:28.between living near major traffic and getting dementia.
:31:29. > :31:33.Lets spend a few minutes looking at the relationship between Donald
:31:34. > :31:37.Trump and the intelligence community in Washington, DC, brought into
:31:38. > :31:41.focus by a Senate hearing, in which we heard from the director of
:31:42. > :31:48.national intelligence and others. We have an update on this story. We now
:31:49. > :31:51.know that the current director, James Clapper, we knew that he would
:31:52. > :31:55.be leaving and was going to be replaced, this is also interesting,
:31:56. > :31:59.Theresa May, we understand, from the Prime Minister's office, will be
:32:00. > :32:04.visiting Donald Trump in the spring. That is a story separate from the
:32:05. > :32:09.intelligence but it has come up and is worth passing to you, the Prime
:32:10. > :32:13.Minister's office says that the UK Prime Minister will visit Donald
:32:14. > :32:17.Trump in the spring, we will keep you posted when we get more dates on
:32:18. > :32:22.that. Mentioning James Clapper, his briefing on alleged Russian hacking,
:32:23. > :32:28.he will meet Donald Trump tomorrow. Here is one exchange during today's
:32:29. > :32:32.Senate hearing for you. The bottom line is, you are going to be
:32:33. > :32:36.challenged tomorrow by the President-elect, are you OK with
:32:37. > :32:43.being challenged? Absolutely. Do you both welcome it? We do. Do you think
:32:44. > :32:51.it is appropriate? We do. Are you ready for the task? I think so. When
:32:52. > :32:56.it comes to interfering in our election, we better be ready for
:32:57. > :32:59.them. That is a good move. I think that what Barack Obama did is throw
:33:00. > :33:03.a pebble, I am ready to throw a rock! Wanted responses to Donald
:33:04. > :33:09.Trump's ongoing feud with intelligence
:33:10. > :33:22.Donald Trump was very critical of the CIA's performance in the run-up
:33:23. > :33:26.to the Iraq war and the issue of W MDs. The new Republic magazine has
:33:27. > :33:45.been commenting, we can speak with Anthony 's earbud,
:33:46. > :33:48.live from Washington, DC, it remains impressive, if that is the right
:33:49. > :33:55.word, Donald Trump continues to rub up highly influential parts of the
:33:56. > :34:02.body politic and yet continues to succeed, what is he doing with the
:34:03. > :34:08.intelligence community? He is chafing at invocation that Russian
:34:09. > :34:15.hackers meddled in the US election, and knew that they did so either to
:34:16. > :34:18.help Hillary Clinton or harm -- help Donald Trump or harm Hillary
:34:19. > :34:22.Clinton, and when Donald Trump feels like news being questioned or
:34:23. > :34:26.attack, he responds in kind. -- Anthony Zurcher. Maybe people full
:34:27. > :34:29.that would not happen when he became president but even if it is coming
:34:30. > :34:33.from within the executive branch from people working for the
:34:34. > :34:36.government, it seems he will not be silent, he is going to answer
:34:37. > :34:41.criticisms in the way that we have become accustomed to, some pretty
:34:42. > :34:45.pointed tweets. The people he is dealing with at the moment, like
:34:46. > :34:49.James Clapper, we know that he is on the way out, will we see a wholesale
:34:50. > :34:55.clear out so that Donald Trump can deal with the people he has chosen?
:34:56. > :34:58.That is something very interesting, the Wall Street Journal had an
:34:59. > :35:01.article from an unnamed source within the Trump transition team
:35:02. > :35:06.saying that they are looking at doing a wholesale change to the CIA
:35:07. > :35:11.and the intelligence community, they said it was bloated and overly
:35:12. > :35:17.politicised. If that is the case, that could be going hand-in-hand
:35:18. > :35:22.with Trump's criticism, the incoming White House press secretary, Spicer,
:35:23. > :35:25.has denied those reports, says no overhaul is bland, but this could be
:35:26. > :35:30.gamesmanship on the part of Donald Trump to knock intelligence
:35:31. > :35:35.officials off their stride, make them more amenable to his views.
:35:36. > :35:38.Presumably these relationships must work, Donald Trump has made a huge
:35:39. > :35:45.plate of giving Americans safe in the US but also dealing with Islamic
:35:46. > :35:48.State abroad. You need the two main ET -- you need the intelligence
:35:49. > :35:54.community onside. Yes, the eyes and ears of a presidential
:35:55. > :35:57.administration, to call into question their judgment and efficacy
:35:58. > :36:00.is pretty unprecedented, Donald Trump is going to need the
:36:01. > :36:04.intelligence community to give him valid information over the course of
:36:05. > :36:07.his administration. I think that we can all be pretty certain that there
:36:08. > :36:12.will be some sort of major crisis at some point during the trump
:36:13. > :36:13.administration, there usually is during a presidential
:36:14. > :36:18.administration, and Donald Trump is going to turn to these same people,
:36:19. > :36:22.or people like them, to explain what they think is going on in the world.
:36:23. > :36:25.For Donald Trump to call into question their judgment at this
:36:26. > :36:27.point, before he has even gone into the White House, that is witty
:36:28. > :36:38.unprecedented. Thank you very much. Donald Trump doing things in a
:36:39. > :36:42.different way, and he will become president on January 20. I want to
:36:43. > :36:50.turn to a story that is being followed by audiences all around the
:36:51. > :36:53.world, scientists in Canada say that people living near busy roads have
:36:54. > :37:01.an increased risk of developing dementia.
:37:02. > :37:05.They followed 2 million people in Ontario for over a decade
:37:06. > :37:11.and found that for those living within 50 meters of busy
:37:12. > :37:18.roads, the risk was of developing dementia was 7% higher.
:37:19. > :37:28."We have a potential mechanism but it's far from proven."
:37:29. > :37:35.In other words, they have spotted that these two things could
:37:36. > :37:36.potentially be related, but they are not sure why.
:37:37. > :37:41.Here's James Gallagher to explain that further.
:37:42. > :37:45.Observational similarity, looking for patterns, because you see two
:37:46. > :37:51.things happening at the same time has not mean that one is causing the
:37:52. > :37:55.other, you need further study to have a look. There is a relationship
:37:56. > :37:59.between the two but it does not prove what is happening. There needs
:38:00. > :38:03.to be a next round of science to figure out what is going on. What
:38:04. > :38:08.might be happening? One theory is that it is nice from traffic
:38:09. > :38:11.disrupting sleep, we know that part of sleeping is clearing toxins from
:38:12. > :38:15.the brain, that is one possible mechanism, we know that pollution
:38:16. > :38:19.that comes out of car exhausts can get inside the body and can hurt you
:38:20. > :38:25.in some ways and can even get into the brain, so that could be another
:38:26. > :38:27.potential mechanism. A major study, 2 million people, 11 yes, what has
:38:28. > :38:33.too follow to better understand the possible link? -- 11 years. There
:38:34. > :38:36.will be a lot more animal research but there needs to be a trial where
:38:37. > :38:39.you change the environment to see if it changes the risk, some
:38:40. > :38:45.neighbourhoods trying to improve the air quality, planting more trees and
:38:46. > :38:48.shrubbery, reducing air pollution, see of that has an impact. The
:38:49. > :38:52.problem here is that dementia is a disease which takes decades to
:38:53. > :38:56.properly develop and become apparent, this was 11 years, these
:38:57. > :39:00.are not answers you can get overnight. I had the impression that
:39:01. > :39:04.the scientific world is spending more and more time on dementia, is
:39:05. > :39:11.that correct? Massive problem in the Western world and rapidly moving to
:39:12. > :39:14.lower and middle-income countries as life respect beckons increases. We
:39:15. > :39:18.overcome diseases, things like trabecular cysts, the old killers,
:39:19. > :39:22.and look at heart disease, dementia is the disease that we cannot really
:39:23. > :39:25.do anything about, that is the brick wall, so there is a huge effort
:39:26. > :39:28.around the world to try to tackle dementia. Thank you very much to
:39:29. > :39:35.James for that. Hull City are at the bottom
:39:36. > :39:38.of the Premier League. The man charged with fixing
:39:39. > :39:40.that is Marco Silva. He's a very successful Portuguese
:39:41. > :39:42.manager but this is his debut And his appointment brings
:39:43. > :39:49.the number of foreign managers with just four Englishmen,
:39:50. > :40:17.two Welshman, M pays little English with a bunch
:40:18. > :40:21.of coaches that speak little English. Make no bones about it, the
:40:22. > :40:26.managers which come over and is do not speak English, I'm not so sure,
:40:27. > :40:30.Mauricio Pochettino was in the tunnel at Southampton, he told me he
:40:31. > :40:33.could not do an interview because he could not speak English, but I heard
:40:34. > :40:37.him speaking down the tunnel to Morgan Schneiderlin in pretty good
:40:38. > :40:41.English! That could be a tactic. A lot of people will be asking who is
:40:42. > :40:45.Marco Silva, he has been dubbed the new Jose Mourinho, but that is
:40:46. > :40:48.coaching record itself, pretty basic, apart from last year,
:40:49. > :40:55.Olympiakos, came to that Greek side and won the title in 2015/16 but if
:40:56. > :40:59.you are at whole, you have got to be wondering, when will it end, it has
:41:00. > :41:02.not been a great season. Steve Bruce, manager, walked out after a
:41:03. > :41:06.fallout with the owners just before the start of the season and in came
:41:07. > :41:10.Mike Phelan, really good start of the season, which has petered
:41:11. > :41:19.Dugway, seven defeats in nine games. Tough start as well for Carlos
:41:20. > :41:22.Silva, he has an FA Cup tie against fellow strugglers Swansea City, and
:41:23. > :41:28.then two legs against Manchester United in the League Cup. Reading
:41:29. > :41:32.comments by Pep Guardiola, one of the best managers there has ever
:41:33. > :41:38.been, he says he is having to adapt. -- which has Peter away. Her body
:41:39. > :41:42.odour says it is more difficult to take control. These managers have to
:41:43. > :41:49.think differently about style when they come to the Premier League. --
:41:50. > :41:55.petered away. Pep Guardiola, that is shopping, -- shocking. -- Pep
:41:56. > :41:59.Guardiola. They won ten on the trot, they came unstuck at Celtic, then
:42:00. > :42:03.they lost a game against Tottenham Hotspur and Pep Guardiola did this
:42:04. > :42:09.interview where he said that his coaching career is coming to an end.
:42:10. > :42:13.He has clarified that, he has come out and said that is not a case, he
:42:14. > :42:18.is in it for the long term, with Manchester City, and the next three
:42:19. > :42:22.years, style is interesting, Mauricio Pochettino came over and
:42:23. > :42:25.said he expected long ball, a lot of managers come over and think,
:42:26. > :42:29.Wednesday off, good old English football, where you thump it long,
:42:30. > :42:31.but it is not, that what Viola finding it a little bit tricky at
:42:32. > :42:42.the moment. Thank you very much. Now we've got some

:42:45. > :42:48.Germany is in the lead He set a new hill record just
:42:49. > :42:52.a couple of hours ago He beat the previous record set

:50:39. > :50:44.After that, when I came to my senses, I began punching and kicking

:52:42. > :52:45.they can request that it is pulled down. We don't know if that was the

:52:51. > :52:56.We know that Apple has said that they were approached by the
:52:57. > :53:00.regulator, who accused the New York Times app of violating rules, and
:53:01. > :53:03.that is why the app has been pulled. Until we know exactly what rules
:53:04. > :53:08.were violated, it is difficult to know, but certainly, Apple is keen
:53:09. > :53:12.not to get on the wrong side of the regulators, they have complied with
:53:13. > :53:17.the requests, and certainly at this point they are not explaining what
:53:18. > :53:22.was the source of the concern. I was quite surprised to hear that it was
:53:23. > :53:26.available in the first place, given that I know that the website had
:53:27. > :53:30.been banned, do we have distinctions between apps and websites with other
:53:31. > :53:35.news organisations? That is a peculiar part of it, for four years
:53:36. > :53:38.you have been able to access the New York Times through the app but not
:53:39. > :53:43.through the website. Whether or not what we are starting to see is the
