Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

Top US intelligence officials have been giving evidence on claims

of Russian interference in the US election.

They say Russia has an advanced cyber programme that poses a major

threat to a wide range of US interests.

A BBC investigation has found that illegal drugs are being bought

online and delivered by mail all over the UK.

Apple has withdrawn the New York Times from its China App Store,

following a request from Chinese authorities.

Michelle Fleury in New York has been looking in this for us.

And if you want to get in touch we're on #BBCOS.

As I talked to you, the outside source screen is blank so I'm going

to try and present the programme from here, and I'm going to begin

with what the American director of National Intelligence has said about

Russian involvement in the US presidential election. This was a

multifaceted campaign. So the hacking was only a part of it. It

also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news.

These activities are ongoing now in Europe, as Europe

prepares for elections, is that a fair assumption?

Yesterday the Wall Street Journal indicated that the President-elect

is considering changes to the intelligence community. Have you, as

the experts in this field, been engaged in these deliberations, and

vice?: no, we have not. To reinforce the point,

we have a joint statement from US It reads "Russia is

a full-scope cyber actor that poses a major threat to US

government, military, diplomatic, commercial

and critical infrastructure. "We assess that only Russia's

senior-most officials could have authorised the recent

election-focused data Gordon Carreras gave me his

assessment of what we have learned. In a way it was a preview for what I

think will be the main event, when we get the report we are expecting

next week from intelligence officials about the evidence of

Russian hacking and interference in the election. They skirted around

the issue, touching it on it at various points but they were careful

about giving away too much detail. You got the broad outlines, they are

confident with the assertion that Russia was responsible for trying to

interfere with the election. Will we see the report? I did an interview

with the Russian ambassador to the EU and he said that the Americans

are saying this and he went, show me the evidence. Where is the detail?

That's what everyone is waiting for, we are expecting some kind of report

in detail. There will be different levels of classification. There will

be a public report. There will be a secret report, possibly more than

one with more detail. A lot of the evidence pointing towards why the US

is so confident the Kremlin was behind it may well be very

sensitive. It may be that the CIA has an agent in Moscow telling them

that and they won't want to put too much detail in a public report.

That's possible. They know they are under pressure, not least from

Donald Trump and others, to produce evidence to show as much as they can

to back up the assertion that the Kremlin was behind this alleged

interference. Interesting that Europe was mentioned. That was

interesting, a question from a Senator, do you think this kind of

interference extends to Europe and is ongoing? The intelligence

official said yes. We've heard it from some European countries. I

spoke to the body area and president before their recent elections where

he was standing down and he said that we have seen Russian attempts

to manipulate the election. We've heard Germany talking about it,

German officials sounding a warning about cyber attacks. Information

operations, influence operations to try and affect politics. There may

be people watching thinking, hold on, hasn't America been interfering

in elections since the Second World War? On one level you are right.

There was the interesting question, the Chinese hacked into the American

system to steal data, was that something equivalent to what Russia

did? American officials say that was espionage, different from

interfering with an election. They are saying that espionage is

standard and that they do that, so they won't kick up as much of eight

fast. But people may point to history -- a fuss. America

intervened in Iraq, but they may say that they don't do this any more --

in Iran. Quick word about Donald Trump, he's a hard man to predict

but you would expect him to make some changes in US intelligence

based on his Twitter activity? A lot of nervousness in US intelligence.

Fascinating meeting, when he sits down to talk about the evidence with

them. They will wonder if he's going to do a clear out, whether he will

change the direction, whether he will take some kind of retaliation

for the sense that they have been criticising him and that he has been

engaging in this spat over the election. Interesting to watch. We

will talk to our correspondent in about 20 minutes about those issues.

A car bomb and gun fire involved in a terrorist attack in Turkey. The

first week of 2017 isn't over and yet there have been two terror

attacks in Turkey. The second was in the City of Izmir, the courthouse

was targeted, the police approaching a car outside to search it and then

the attackers inside the car shot and tried to attack a policeman with

an explosive device, a car bomb was detonated and in the mayhem one of

the policemen was killed. A member of the court staff was killed and

the two attackers were shot dead as well. The third attacker we believe

is still at large, wearing a black jacket and a white beret. Officials

say they expect that the PKK Kurdish militant group were behind the

attack and may believe a much larger attack was foiled given the number

of weapons found including machine guns and grenades. It's a few days

after the New Year's Eve attack on the Reina nightclub, that gunman is

still at large. Arrests have been made in Istanbul but not the gunmen,

leaving people feeling nervous. It has shown how difficult it is to

secure Turkey. How to keep the country safe. 80 million people,

bordering Syria and Iraq, it has the Kurdish insurgency in the

south-east, and it has the PKK and so-called Islamic State. More police

alone is clearly not the answer, they must have better intelligence.

Some attacks are being foiled but others are happening and that shows

intelligence gaps and it is making this country feel extremely worried

going into 2017. Mark mentioned the Istanbul attack,

we had a development on that today. But today several men connected

to him have been arrested, and all are reported to be

Uighurs from Xinjiang Uighurs are a mainly

Muslim minority, and they have a troubled

relationship with China's Uighur separatists are often accused

of terrorism in China. The government is accused

of discriminating against Uighurs. The modern grievances are two fold,

firstly some of them consider, they want a brief government of their

own, they country called East Turkistant which vanished after the

coming is to over in China, and some of them want to go back to the days

of East Turkistan. Also they've complained about the millions of

ethnic Chinese moving in from other provinces into the province where

they mainly live, making them a minority. That is the ethnic tension

side of the complaint. In terms of the radicalisation, the Chinese

government has made claims for many years, from the Taliban time because

ten free Mac is near Afghanistan. Claims that the Taliban worth

training them -- because Xinjiang is near Afghanistan. The exact

percentage, I doubt any can calculate that but to safely say,

there is a degree of... A BBC investigation has found that

large amounts of illegal drugs are being delivered by post

in the UK. The drugs are being

bought on the dark web. That's an area of the internet

where a large amount of illegal material and products

are shared and sold. Jim Connolly from BBC

Newsbeat has the story. It is an illegal trade worth

millions but your local postman could an Wichary -- good unwittingly

be delivering drugs. More and more people are buying drugs on the dark

web. What was in there? It's not of cannabis. You smell it and then

what? You tell the managers and they say that you must deliver it, tell

them to be more careful. Really? The Royal Mail says that it does not

knowingly carrying illegal items in the network. Getting drugs online is

becoming more popular with people like Steve who would only talk to us

if we protected his identity. It was cheaper and you had less chance of

getting skanked. We found it funny how she handed it over and said

thank you very much, she was completely unaware that she was part

of the drugs trade. This part of London news to be home to lots of

shots where you could purchase legal highs. The government say that new

laws to tackle this mean that the shops have closed down but we

managed to get these drugs on the dark web, getting around the issue.

We asked the government to speak to us about this but they declined.

They say they are spending ?1.9 billion over the next five years on

cyber security. How easy was it to buy the drugs on the dark web? We

met Chris, an independent security expert. Everything about it is

pretty much like eBay but it looks a bit more amateurish? The technology

is not as mature in many cases but you are accessing a very anon I

website which is hard to track down. We purchased ecstasy, marijuana and

a drug known as spice. A few days later, all three parcels are wired.

We took them to this government approved testing lab. These don't

look suspicious, there's no way that every single bike can be opened, we

would never get our post. There would be backlog is. We are looking

for things that look suspicious, and these don't. It may have only been

three samples but the testing proved everything we bought on the dark web

was as described, raising the question of what needs to be done to

stop this deadly trade. How will authorities tackle a global issue

where every time a marketplace is closed down, another appears to

replace it? In a few minutes we are going to be

talking about global warming. It is often stated that the speed of

global warming has been slowing but new data suggests it isn't. We will

get into that. The UK service sector

grew at its fastest pace for 17 months in December,

a closely-watched BBC's economics editor

Kamal Ahmed explained what's Andrew Haldein, the chief economist

at the Bank of England, he welcomed the figures

and was optimistic that 2016 had been stronger in terms of growth

than many people predicted, including the bank, that maybe it

had been too pessimistic. These good figures are based

on the great British shopper who has kept spending despite the warnings

of what the Brexit vote may bring. But Mr Haldein sounded a note

of caution when he said that this since the referendum means that

food imports and fuel imports are more expensive,

which is going to feed through to consumers

who may see higher prices, meaning lower spending,

which means possibly some tougher headwinds for the economy this year

and next year. This is Outside Source live

looking for six men suspected of sexually assaulting 18 women during

New Year's Eve celebrations in the City of Innsbruck. The men are

thought to be from Asia or North Africa and the allegation is that

they groped and kissed women as they watched a fireworks display. The

assaults are a year after hundreds of women were attacked in Cologne

during the 2015 New Year's Eve celebrations. New Year's Eve

celebrations in Innsbruck. It was here in this crowd that 18 young

women who had come to dance and watch the fireworks were sexually

assaulted. Police say it was done by a group of five or six men.

touched them inappropriately. The person leading the investigation

told the BBC that the number of the assaults and the fact they were

carried out by a group is unprecedented for Innsbruck. The

on with our coverage of the main stories. Back to the US now.

President-elect Donald Trump makes no secret of his disdain for US

companies who create jobs outside the US.

Today, Toyota was the target. It said it would have to pay a new tax

if the new car plant it is making is not built in the US. If you want a

measure of the importance of his tweets, the share price of Toyota

went down. It recovered but it shows the impact he is having. Chief

executives and people who have shares in these companies want to

know what the president is saying because it may affect the value of

their them is Sanaa the same joins us from

New York. This is an existing app and it is adding a new feature. It

will be available on the App Store and they say that as soon as the

President elect mentions a company, and we've seen it happening with

Toyota and in the past when he talks about Lockheed Martin or Boeing,

we've seen a big impact on their share price. This app will give you

real time information about stocks that you own with regards to

comments by the President-elect. For example, today if you own shares in

Toyota, you would have had an alert saying the President-elect has

spoken about a company that you own. Best have a look at the news. I

guess that it's inevitable that when the president speaks it will have an

impact on the value of companies but I can't recall Obama being as

specific in his messages to particular companies. This is

somewhat unprecedented which is why there is a lot of discussion about

it. If you look at social media and how people have reacted, there's

been a lot of scepticism when it comes to the President-elect

singling out companies like this. But it is in line with what Mr Trump

has always said on the campaign Trail, that he's going to fight for

the little guy, which he feels he is doing by calling out companies that

are creating jobs overseas and then selling products in the United

States or with regards to Boeing and Lockheed Martin, when they see cost

overruns for government contracts. Thank you for joining us. As you can

see, while I was talking till we have got the screen fixed.

If you're going to the west coast of the United States in the next couple

of days, there may be some severe rain, and mountain snow. On Friday

things are looking fairly quiet across North America. Bitterly cold,

the Arctic air is slowly moving south towards the Gulf states and

Florida. On Friday we will see heavy and potentially thundery rain

developing. You will notice the cold across southern areas. Freezing in

Dallas, only four or 5 degrees in Atlanta. As the cold air moves

south, so will be rain and some of it could be pretty intense as it

moves towards Florida and western Cuba. To the west, the pineapple

express setup developing, a series of low pressure systems coming from

the Pacific producing heavy rain in California and snow over the higher

ground, much needed over the Sierra Nevada. The cold air is across

Europe and it really is penetrating further south over the next few

days, as far south as North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. The

winds have been exceptionally strong in places, we've seen coastal

flooding over parts of northern Germany, and eight storm surge

submerging cars. Heavy snow has been pushing south across much of

Germany, towards Poland, the Ukraine. This low pressure

developing on Thursday and Friday in the eastern Mediterranean is going

to bring very severe weather, not just heavy rain and snow but very

strong winds. Warnings are in force for Friday across parts of Italy,

because of the cold weather and also across the Adriatic Sea for the wind

which will be damagingly strong at times. Potential flooding in

southern grace and towards Turkey -- Greece. The rain moving towards

Hungary, Budapest and towards the Ukraine. Significant snow. Daytime

temperatures well below freezing on Friday. 12 degrees in Athens but by

the time we reach the weekend the cold air will have reached southern

Greece, with some snow flurries. -20 in Moscow over the weekend. With

daytime values around -10 across south-east Europe, a huge contrast

to what's going on across the north-west of Europe. Looking pretty

mild back home, 10 Celsius perhaps as we head to the weekend because we

pick up mild south-westerly is from the Atlantic so it will turn milder.

With it, some patchy drizzle and cloud as well. Stay tuned for the

full UK weather forecast in about half an hour.

Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

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

Top US Intelligence officials have given

evidence on claims of Russian interference in the US election.

They warned of cyber attacks as well as other

The hacking was only one part of it. It also entails classical

propaganda, disinformation, fake news. In recent years, many

scientists have been saying that there has been a slowdown in global

warming. New data suggests that is full.

Our environment correspondent will talk us through that.

We're going to update you on the claims of mass sexual

assaults in Bangalore on New Years Eve.

The city'ss police chief says there's no evidence it happened.

And a new study shows that there may be a link

between living near major traffic and getting dementia.

Lets spend a few minutes looking at the relationship between Donald

Trump and the intelligence community in Washington, DC, brought into

focus by a Senate hearing, in which we heard from the director of

national intelligence and others. We have an update on this story. We now

know that the current director, James Clapper, we knew that he would

be leaving and was going to be replaced, this is also interesting,

Theresa May, we understand, from the Prime Minister's office, will be

visiting Donald Trump in the spring. That is a story separate from the

intelligence but it has come up and is worth passing to you, the Prime

Minister's office says that the UK Prime Minister will visit Donald

Trump in the spring, we will keep you posted when we get more dates on

that. Mentioning James Clapper, his briefing on alleged Russian hacking,

he will meet Donald Trump tomorrow. Here is one exchange during today's

Senate hearing for you. The bottom line is, you are going to be

challenged tomorrow by the President-elect, are you OK with

being challenged? Absolutely. Do you both welcome it? We do. Do you think

it is appropriate? We do. Are you ready for the task? I think so. When

it comes to interfering in our election, we better be ready for

them. That is a good move. I think that what Barack Obama did is throw

a pebble, I am ready to throw a rock! Wanted responses to Donald

Trump's ongoing feud with intelligence

Donald Trump was very critical of the CIA's performance in the run-up

to the Iraq war and the issue of W MDs. The new Republic magazine has

been commenting, we can speak with Anthony 's earbud,

live from Washington, DC, it remains impressive, if that is the right

word, Donald Trump continues to rub up highly influential parts of the

body politic and yet continues to succeed, what is he doing with the

intelligence community? He is chafing at invocation that Russian

hackers meddled in the US election, and knew that they did so either to

help Hillary Clinton or harm -- help Donald Trump or harm Hillary

Clinton, and when Donald Trump feels like news being questioned or

attack, he responds in kind. -- Anthony Zurcher. Maybe people full

that would not happen when he became president but even if it is coming

from within the executive branch from people working for the

government, it seems he will not be silent, he is going to answer

criticisms in the way that we have become accustomed to, some pretty

pointed tweets. The people he is dealing with at the moment, like

James Clapper, we know that he is on the way out, will we see a wholesale

clear out so that Donald Trump can deal with the people he has chosen?

That is something very interesting, the Wall Street Journal had an

article from an unnamed source within the Trump transition team

saying that they are looking at doing a wholesale change to the CIA

and the intelligence community, they said it was bloated and overly

politicised. If that is the case, that could be going hand-in-hand

with Trump's criticism, the incoming White House press secretary, Spicer,

has denied those reports, says no overhaul is bland, but this could be

gamesmanship on the part of Donald Trump to knock intelligence

officials off their stride, make them more amenable to his views.

Presumably these relationships must work, Donald Trump has made a huge

plate of giving Americans safe in the US but also dealing with Islamic

State abroad. You need the two main ET -- you need the intelligence

community onside. Yes, the eyes and ears of a presidential

administration, to call into question their judgment and efficacy

is pretty unprecedented, Donald Trump is going to need the

intelligence community to give him valid information over the course of

his administration. I think that we can all be pretty certain that there

will be some sort of major crisis at some point during the trump

administration, there usually is during a presidential

administration, and Donald Trump is going to turn to these same people,

or people like them, to explain what they think is going on in the world.

For Donald Trump to call into question their judgment at this

point, before he has even gone into the White House, that is witty

unprecedented. Thank you very much. Donald Trump doing things in a

different way, and he will become president on January 20. I want to

turn to a story that is being followed by audiences all around the

world, scientists in Canada say that people living near busy roads have

an increased risk of developing dementia.

They followed 2 million people in Ontario for over a decade

and found that for those living within 50 meters of busy

roads, the risk was of developing dementia was 7% higher.

"We have a potential mechanism but it's far from proven."

In other words, they have spotted that these two things could

potentially be related, but they are not sure why.

Here's James Gallagher to explain that further.

Observational similarity, looking for patterns, because you see two

things happening at the same time has not mean that one is causing the

other, you need further study to have a look. There is a relationship

between the two but it does not prove what is happening. There needs

to be a next round of science to figure out what is going on. What

might be happening? One theory is that it is nice from traffic

disrupting sleep, we know that part of sleeping is clearing toxins from

the brain, that is one possible mechanism, we know that pollution

that comes out of car exhausts can get inside the body and can hurt you

in some ways and can even get into the brain, so that could be another

potential mechanism. A major study, 2 million people, 11 yes, what has

too follow to better understand the possible link? -- 11 years. There

will be a lot more animal research but there needs to be a trial where

you change the environment to see if it changes the risk, some

neighbourhoods trying to improve the air quality, planting more trees and

shrubbery, reducing air pollution, see of that has an impact. The

problem here is that dementia is a disease which takes decades to

properly develop and become apparent, this was 11 years, these

are not answers you can get overnight. I had the impression that

the scientific world is spending more and more time on dementia, is

that correct? Massive problem in the Western world and rapidly moving to

lower and middle-income countries as life respect beckons increases. We

overcome diseases, things like trabecular cysts, the old killers,

and look at heart disease, dementia is the disease that we cannot really

do anything about, that is the brick wall, so there is a huge effort

around the world to try to tackle dementia. Thank you very much to

James for that. Hull City are at the bottom

of the Premier League. The man charged with fixing

that is Marco Silva. He's a very successful Portuguese

manager but this is his debut And his appointment brings

the number of foreign managers with just four Englishmen,

two Welshman, M pays little English with a bunch

of coaches that speak little English. Make no bones about it, the

managers which come over and is do not speak English, I'm not so sure,

Mauricio Pochettino was in the tunnel at Southampton, he told me he

could not do an interview because he could not speak English, but I heard

him speaking down the tunnel to Morgan Schneiderlin in pretty good

English! That could be a tactic. A lot of people will be asking who is

Marco Silva, he has been dubbed the new Jose Mourinho, but that is

coaching record itself, pretty basic, apart from last year,

Olympiakos, came to that Greek side and won the title in 2015/16 but if

you are at whole, you have got to be wondering, when will it end, it has

not been a great season. Steve Bruce, manager, walked out after a

fallout with the owners just before the start of the season and in came

Mike Phelan, really good start of the season, which has petered

Dugway, seven defeats in nine games. Tough start as well for Carlos

Silva, he has an FA Cup tie against fellow strugglers Swansea City, and

then two legs against Manchester United in the League Cup. Reading

comments by Pep Guardiola, one of the best managers there has ever

been, he says he is having to adapt. -- which has Peter away. Her body

odour says it is more difficult to take control. These managers have to

think differently about style when they come to the Premier League. --

petered away. Pep Guardiola, that is shopping, -- shocking. -- Pep

Guardiola. They won ten on the trot, they came unstuck at Celtic, then

they lost a game against Tottenham Hotspur and Pep Guardiola did this

interview where he said that his coaching career is coming to an end.

He has clarified that, he has come out and said that is not a case, he

is in it for the long term, with Manchester City, and the next three

years, style is interesting, Mauricio Pochettino came over and

said he expected long ball, a lot of managers come over and think,

Wednesday off, good old English football, where you thump it long,

but it is not, that what Viola finding it a little bit tricky at

the moment. Thank you very much. Now we've got some

great footage in from Andreas Wellinger from

Germany is in the lead He set a new hill record just

a couple of hours ago He beat the previous record set

in 2005 by 1.5m and is now one of the top favourites

to win the competition. The final for the overall title

of the 4-Hills-Tournament will take In a few minutes we will turn to

from its Apple App Store, in China, Chinese authorities are set to do

that, following the request, and we get the details soon.

When it comes to digital dangers such as bullying and grooming, young

people are being left to fend for themselves, that comes from the

children's Minister for England. Gillian Hargreaves has more.

Teenagers stuck to their mobile phones.

Millions are connected to their friends via

social media but the Children's Commissioner says too many are

allowed to roam in a cyber world with limited protection and

-- with limited protection and regulation.

The girls at this high school in Warrington think there is a risk.

Teenagers don't know what they're signing up to.

The report calls for the appointment of a digital ombudsman

to mediate between children and social media companies

It also recommends there should be mandatory digital

citizenship courses in schools and new privacy laws to protect

children's personal information online.

What everyone is trying to do is to respond to that change.

Parents are struggling to do their bit.

There is a role for government to intervene to help strengthen

privacy laws and a role for schools as well in teaching stronger digital

At Hampstead high school, the GCSE computer studies pupils are

technically savvy with many aware of the dangers

I don't think we need another programme.

I think it's something that good schools do already.

Right from the age of four through the sixth form,

children are already talk about how to stay safe online in assemblies,

working with a bullying officer and police.

Contracts for social media sites can be lengthy with complicated wording

and many children can struggle to understand exactly what they are

When children use social media sites, they give their

content to the site, so comments, photos,

know about but they may not know that that information is then given

to third-party companies who will target them

warming this century, many scientists have argued that the rate

has slowed in recent years, and that is interesting, because the rate of

CO2 emission certainly has not slowed, it has gone up and up. This

craft goes back to 1960. Here is one graft from the new research, this is

essentially a series of different surface temperatures just for this

century. There are four durations but the general course is upwards.

Is it going up faster than we realise? Here is Mark McGrath. Any

scientists felt that between 1950 and 2000, temperatures went up in a

straight line, 2000 up to 2014, they thought it was a hiatus, the Bridges

did not increase, researchers on both side were concerned about why

this was happening. -- researchers. But we have been misreading the

Templars from the ocean, miss calibrating them, when they

recalibrated the ocean temperatures they show that the line into new to

go up straight, controversial study. The scientist had e-mails

requisitioned by the House of Representatives in the US but

yesterday another group of scientist got out of the study sat in the same

result. -- misreading the temperatures. It has confirmed a

study from last year, that it has not paused at. Why does that put a

question over a whole bunch of global warming data we have been

collecting for decades? It does and does not, it put something is under

question, this has been looking at ocean warming. 50 years ago people,

take a bucket, they would take the tempter of sea water. The complex

meshing of information, that is where mistakes were made, now they

are saying they are much more confident that data is clean and

clear and gives a better picture. Say that the tempter is going up

more than expected, how... Your contact lens has come out of your

eye, good catch!... What does I do in terms of policy, already there is

a pushback on global warming. Interesting to see this against the

backdrop of President Trump coming into the Oval Office, saying things

like climate change is something made up by the Chinese, a hoax, he

has appointed people who are lukewarm on climate change if not

sceptics, it is interesting that we see the scientific immunity in some

respects putting this data out there, a week or so before President

Trump comes in, to reinforce and underline the fact that global

warming has not gone away, it is not going away, it is consistent, there

was no pause. Top broadcaster, not even his

contact lens coming out who is eye, can put him off his stride. --

coming out of his life. -- coming out of his eye.

Bangalore's police chief has told the BBC says there's no proof

there were mass sexual asaults on women on New Year's Eve.

Bear in mind there have been multiple claims to the contrary.

He says they've looked at CCTV and,

"There was panic, there was a melee,

they got separated, they were crying.

So that 30 seconds of confusion is being projected

I categorically say that nothing of that sort has happened."

A number of women who have come forward contradict that.

finished my walk, I was returning home, I saw two meant coming towards

me, they were looking a little suspicious to me so I moved aside

for them to pass. A man tried to grope me. He slid his hand inside my

dress, I was wearing a jumpsuit, he try to grope me. So I went blank.

After that, when I came to my senses, I began punching and kicking

a lot. 15, 20 men, and a guy took a chance and ran away, he escaped from

the place. If I go to the cops, I don't want them to tell me that the

guy already escaped, we cannot do anything about it. I was not ready

to hear that. Politicians have said westernisation is the reason why

this molestation is happening, that women should not wear this kind of

clothing. I feel bad and ashamed about it. If this is what is

happening, I want girls to know that they can come forward and speak out,

what ever you are faced with, you don't have to be scared.

Picking up one is story shared thousands of times in the last 24

hours: -- on a Apple has removed the New York Times

from its China App Store, following a request

from Chinese authorities. This is what happens

when you try to download The Times says this

happened in late December. The New York Times website has been

blocked by the Chinese when it published these

articles, about Chinese leader

Wen Jiabao's family wealth. The Times says blocking

the app is part of a, "wider attempt

to prevent readers in China from accessing independent news

coverage by The New York Times which is no different

from the journalism we do about every other country

in the world." I asked Michelle Fleury

whether Apple had been If you look at a rule that was

passed over the summer, they have in place something that says that if an

app publishes something that violates their content rules, then

they can request that it is pulled down. We don't know if that was the

case in this instance, because Apple has not released that information.

We know that Apple has said that they were approached by the

regulator, who accused the New York Times app of violating rules, and

that is why the app has been pulled. Until we know exactly what rules

were violated, it is difficult to know, but certainly, Apple is keen

not to get on the wrong side of the regulators, they have complied with

the requests, and certainly at this point they are not explaining what

was the source of the concern. I was quite surprised to hear that it was

available in the first place, given that I know that the website had

been banned, do we have distinctions between apps and websites with other

news organisations? That is a peculiar part of it, for four years

you have been able to access the New York Times through the app but not

through the website. Whether or not what we are starting to see is the

cyberspace and administration becoming more attuned to these

distinctions... Apple has had problems with content in the past,

it's stores which sell book content and film and video content, those

have been banned in the past, iBook and iFilm. It is the problem for any

American tech firm trying to operate in China, how do you deal with the

censorship rules? People have joked about it being the great firewall of

China(!) but talking to people in the country, they use a different

network to try to get around some of the censorship rules. If you just

want to be able to turn on your laptop, turn on your smartphone,

certainly, it remains very difficult.

The lead story, statements from James Clapper, director of national

intelligence, to the Senate committee, saying that Russia has

disrupted the US election. Donald Trump has selected the former

Indiana Senator Dan Coats as director of national intelligence.

That is it for this edition of outside source, thank you very much

for watching and I will see you at the beginning of next week.

Roma white so far on this weeks whether we have been on a

roller-coaster ride
