:00:18. > :00:20.Donald Trump is furious. He has been denying claims that Russian
:00:21. > :00:24.intelligence as compromising information about him. In his first
:00:25. > :00:34.press conference since becoming President-elect he said the claims
:00:35. > :00:38.are entirely fake. That was the beginning of a statement in which he
:00:39. > :00:42.attacked the news, attacked the agenda of the media and generally
:00:43. > :00:47.pushed back very hard at suggestions the Russians might have anything on
:00:48. > :00:51.him that he believes is true. His nominee for Secretary of State has
:00:52. > :00:55.been before the Senate. This is Rex Tillotson. We look at what he has
:00:56. > :01:02.been saying and target through in just a couple of minutes. In Outside
:01:03. > :01:06.Source sport we talk about Fiji and their incredible victory at the Rio
:01:07. > :01:10.Olympics. The country took them to gold has been talking to the BBC.
:01:11. > :01:14.And as we have been through the programme, if you want to get in
:01:15. > :01:34.touch, you can e-mail and get us on social media.
:01:35. > :01:41.One fear has messaged and asked if we will talk about President Obama's
:01:42. > :01:46.debate speech. We will play some part of that with the help of Nick
:01:47. > :01:49.Donald Trump's press conference was in New York.
:01:50. > :01:51.In Washington, the Senate has been holding confirmation hearings
:01:52. > :01:53.for some of the nominees for the Trump administration.
:01:54. > :01:55.Nearly all cabinet positions need Senate approval,
:01:56. > :02:02.but rejections of major appointments are rare.
:02:03. > :02:08.Senator Jeff Sessions is on his second day of questions.
:02:09. > :02:13.Elaine Chao is nominated for Transport Secretary.
:02:14. > :02:16.The focus though was on Rex Tillerson.
:02:17. > :02:20.He is Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State.
:02:21. > :02:22.He would have expected questions about Russia.
:02:23. > :02:25.In his capacity as the head of Exxon Mobil, he's had
:02:26. > :02:35.He was given Russia's highest award for non-citizens.
:02:36. > :02:42.He told Senators that Russia poses a danger,
:02:43. > :02:48.but he urged for cooperation on common interests,
:02:49. > :02:49.calling for an 'open and frank dialogue'.
:02:50. > :03:05.He was also asked about Russia hacking allegations.
:03:06. > :03:10.Based on your knowledge of Russian leaders and Russian politics, do you
:03:11. > :03:15.believe these activities could have happened without the knowledge and
:03:16. > :03:20.consent of Vladimir Putin? I am not in a position to make that
:03:21. > :03:26.determination. I know there is classified information. You have
:03:27. > :03:30.engaged in significant business activities in Russia, so I am sure
:03:31. > :03:35.you are aware that very few things happen without Vladimir Putin giving
:03:36. > :03:39.his permission. Based on your views and experiences of Russian politics,
:03:40. > :03:41.is it possible for something involving the States election to
:03:42. > :03:46.have happened without Vladimir Putin knowing about it and authorising it?
:03:47. > :03:58.I think that is a fair assumption. We will get into the detail in a
:03:59. > :04:03.minute, but this is a man who has been hugely successful in business
:04:04. > :04:10.but he has not been a politician or a diplomat, how can you measure his
:04:11. > :04:14.performance? I think he came across with a very good knowledge of
:04:15. > :04:20.international affairs and world leaders, which is how he had been
:04:21. > :04:25.presented any way. He had a clear grasp of Russia and its strategy,
:04:26. > :04:30.which would be expected because he has had close ties with the Kremlin
:04:31. > :04:35.for years, so he knows the Russians well. That is something that many
:04:36. > :04:40.senators will appreciate and he also showed a fair amount of knowledge of
:04:41. > :04:43.other of the main hotspots. He spoke about China, wanting to cooperate
:04:44. > :04:48.with China but taking a more muscular response to its building of
:04:49. > :04:54.islands in the South China Sea. All things senators will be glad to
:04:55. > :04:56.hear. There were questions about the transition between being a
:04:57. > :05:03.businessman who is negotiating for his profit with international
:05:04. > :05:07.bidders and representing American interests, which are much wider and
:05:08. > :05:11.include things like values and the pursuit of democracy and good
:05:12. > :05:15.governance and so on. He did talk about the importance of these
:05:16. > :05:20.values. It is not clear whether he has met those concerns, but it is
:05:21. > :05:22.something that was put to him. I just wanted to play another clip of
:05:23. > :05:23.Mr Taylor said. Mr Tillerson was also
:05:24. > :05:34.asked about Exxon mobil's I am not asking you on behalf of
:05:35. > :05:37.ExxonMobil, I am asking you whether those allegations about your
:05:38. > :05:43.knowledge of climate science and decision to fund and promote a view
:05:44. > :05:47.contrary to its awareness of the science, whether those allegations
:05:48. > :05:52.are true or false? The question would have to be put to ExxonMobil.
:05:53. > :06:00.Do you lack the knowledge to answer my question or are you refusing? A
:06:01. > :06:03.little of both. He is not being frank, Barbara?
:06:04. > :06:10.He dodged the question and said he dodged the question. They are
:06:11. > :06:12.talking about research ExxonMobil did that indicated the fossil feels
:06:13. > :06:16.damaged the climate and they suppressed that information because
:06:17. > :06:23.it hid their bottom line. They are being taken to court for it. I think
:06:24. > :06:27.he was not the head of ExxonMobil at the time. He has acknowledged the
:06:28. > :06:30.damage that fossil feels good to the climate. It has come out in support
:06:31. > :06:36.of the Paris climate treaty and he said to the Senate rethink that he
:06:37. > :06:40.felt action needed to be taken because the risk was high enough,
:06:41. > :06:45.although he didn't say what the action was. Healing him down on this
:06:46. > :06:47.particular issue, he clearly wasn't ready to publicly accept
:06:48. > :06:53.responsibility for the earlier position of this company. Help me
:06:54. > :06:57.out with the practicalities, how long do the hearings take and do
:06:58. > :07:01.they have to be done before Inauguration Day? If the Senate says
:07:02. > :07:05.OK, is that the end of the matter? The hearings take as long as it
:07:06. > :07:09.takes for the senators on the committee could ask all their
:07:10. > :07:13.questions. They will continue tomorrow. They don't have to be done
:07:14. > :07:17.by Inauguration Day, but if they are not done then there is a delay in
:07:18. > :07:21.the appointment of Cabinet members so that this a Dong of the new
:07:22. > :07:31.administration being able to take on its responsibilities. We appreciate
:07:32. > :07:33.you explain that. Speak to you soon. Let's break away from US politics
:07:34. > :07:34.and talk about sport. One of the stories of last year's
:07:35. > :07:37.Rio Olympics was the Fiji Rugby It was the first gold
:07:38. > :07:40.medal the Pacific island Now their story has been
:07:41. > :08:07.made into a documentary. It has been really tough. You get
:08:08. > :08:14.knocked down twice or more times than you can count. Easy people with
:08:15. > :08:24.their houses destroyed. Nothing left. They still had their TV on and
:08:25. > :08:31.they are still cheering. Fijians consider the second to religion.
:08:32. > :08:37.Sevens is the number one game. We prayed for the Fiji team. Every man
:08:38. > :08:43.woman and child, they all know everything about the team because
:08:44. > :08:51.they follow it so fanatically. We are so unpredictable to other teams.
:08:52. > :08:52.You will be chasing shadows when we are on form.
:08:53. > :08:54.The team had a British coach, Ben Ryan.
:08:55. > :09:04.It has been an amazing journey and there are so many stories that
:09:05. > :09:09.aren't in that movie. Literally daily therapy something there would
:09:10. > :09:14.be a curve ball thrown at you. Such an amazing journey we have been on.
:09:15. > :09:21.29.9% of the population would watching and the team does well and
:09:22. > :09:27.we get by colleges when we do. Fireworks go on, fireworks are sent
:09:28. > :09:32.off. They are so passionately loyal about the team. There is a registry.
:09:33. > :09:38.The guys who wear the shirt are keen to not let anyone down. The village
:09:39. > :09:43.feeling, the team is very tight and very close and it is like being in a
:09:44. > :09:47.family. Genetically, they are just so gifted and so talented and so
:09:48. > :09:50.humble that the pressure doesn't really affect the team. They will
:09:51. > :09:52.rise to it. Kelly Smith is England's all-time
:09:53. > :09:55.leading scorer and she's She scored 46 goals for England here
:09:56. > :10:10.she is on why it's time to stop. It just feels like the time is right
:10:11. > :10:14.now. I think I have had a very good career at international level and
:10:15. > :10:19.club level, I have travelled the world. At the age of 38, the body is
:10:20. > :10:24.telling me that it needs to stop. I have had if you injuries along the
:10:25. > :10:28.way. It just feels like the time is right. The game is in a magnificent
:10:29. > :10:31.place and it is good to step away at this time.
:10:32. > :10:38.Let's pick up on this with Ollie Foster. She did struggle an
:10:39. > :10:42.extraordinary shift in the game. She absolutely did. The success of the
:10:43. > :10:49.women's game, not just in Britain but in the world, she will be in the
:10:50. > :10:53.top 20 of all-time players for what she has done for the game. Her
:10:54. > :11:00.success is even more remarkable because in the early days she played
:11:01. > :11:04.in some very dark days. She battled alcoholism that was brought on by
:11:05. > :11:12.some serious knee and leg injuries. She came through that, straightened
:11:13. > :11:18.herself out. 125 goals for Arsenal during three spells at the team. She
:11:19. > :11:21.won 20 trophies with Arsenal. She was the first English player to
:11:22. > :11:25.become professional when she went and spent time in the US where the
:11:26. > :11:30.women's game took off in the early days. She is going into coaching.
:11:31. > :11:35.She was to stay in the game and that will benefit Arsenal who have given
:11:36. > :11:39.her a full-time coaching job. Kelly Smith is certainly the greatest
:11:40. > :11:43.player that the women's game has produced. She came through terrible
:11:44. > :11:47.adversity in her early days but at the ticket she says the time has
:11:48. > :11:52.come for her to stop. She was struggling with knee injuries and I
:11:53. > :11:58.am sure she will be a great coach. She will be going to Arsenal, you
:11:59. > :12:04.mentioned. And we compare the men's and women's game? To what degree is
:12:05. > :12:09.the women's can expanding? Still expanding and not happy about that
:12:10. > :12:12.comparison. They are on their own trajectory. In the English game they
:12:13. > :12:16.have been mucking around with the schedule of the calendar. It is
:12:17. > :12:22.going back to mimic the men's game. They tried super league, it didn't
:12:23. > :12:25.quite work with calendar clashes and conflicts. They have this mini
:12:26. > :12:30.league coming up in the spring before everything starts again with
:12:31. > :12:36.the rest the world and the Wicker men's lake. The women's game doing
:12:37. > :12:38.well. Crowds are growing, not as quickly as they would like, but it
:12:39. > :12:44.is in a healthy state. One career comes to end,
:12:45. > :12:47.this one doesn't seem He turns 50 next month and he's just
:12:48. > :12:56.signed a contract extension with the Japanese football club
:12:57. > :12:58.Yokohama FC. He made his pro debut
:12:59. > :13:00.in 1987 in Brazil. That's when Lionel Messi
:13:01. > :13:02.was born by the way. He did retire from international
:13:03. > :13:23.football just the 17 years ago, Well, I was mentioning if you're in
:13:24. > :13:26.Ireland was asking why we haven't mentioned President Obama. We are
:13:27. > :13:31.going to talk about him and his farewell speech in just a few
:13:32. > :13:33.minutes. There he is coming out to deliver it. We have a report on how
:13:34. > :13:38.it went. The mounting pressure on the NHS has
:13:39. > :13:41.been underlined by the head of NHS hospital trusts in England,
:13:42. > :13:44.who's told MPs it's time to stop pretending the NHS can afford to do
:13:45. > :13:47.everything with the money it's His was one of a number of stark
:13:48. > :13:53.warnings today, as our If there's one story which sums up
:13:54. > :14:01.the current state of the NHS, it's Pat's, she couldn't get a local
:14:02. > :14:04.doctors visit and fearing she had pneumonia had
:14:05. > :14:07.to go to her local A, but once she got there she had
:14:08. > :14:12.to wait 19-hours for a bed. I were crying, weren't I,
:14:13. > :14:15.when we are were sat Through tiredness of, you know,
:14:16. > :14:19.being there as long as we were. Pat has this message
:14:20. > :14:24.for politicians. There's loads of hospitals that's
:14:25. > :14:29.in the same position - go and see them and then say -
:14:30. > :14:32.right, we'll sit down and see The local Hospital Trust said
:14:33. > :14:38.on the day in question the pressure was higher than usual,
:14:39. > :14:43.but safety was monitored closely. Some hospitals are managing
:14:44. > :14:45.better than others. Here in Exeter, senior consultants
:14:46. > :14:49.are at the front door of A, ensuring only the sickest
:14:50. > :14:52.patients are admitted. They can send some straight home,
:14:53. > :14:56.keeping beds free for others. As soon as you admit an elderly
:14:57. > :15:00.patient to hospital, there's a risk that they are going to deteriorate,
:15:01. > :15:02.they're going to lose muscle power and also they might get
:15:03. > :15:05.into the system of doing more and more investigations
:15:06. > :15:07.which actually doesn't necessarily There's no doubt of the huge
:15:08. > :15:12.strain on the NHS. Figures leaked to the BBC showed
:15:13. > :15:16.a big increase last week in the number of patients in England
:15:17. > :15:21.waiting 12-hours or more on trolleys because hospital
:15:22. > :15:25.beds weren't available. Several hospitals fell far short
:15:26. > :15:28.of targets for A waiting times, and medical profession leaders
:15:29. > :15:31.are warning that lives are at risk. Our council members specifically
:15:32. > :15:33.have said to me that this The main representative
:15:34. > :15:36.of England's hospitals had a stark warning for MPs
:15:37. > :15:39.about the longer term implications. I think the biggest concern is,
:15:40. > :15:41.to be frank, if we carry on on the current trajectory,
:15:42. > :15:44.I think what we begin to bring into question is the entire
:15:45. > :15:48.sustainability of the NHS model. The NHS is always very busy
:15:49. > :15:51.early in the new year, The question is - will the pressure
:15:52. > :15:58.ease off any time soon? A burst of cold weather or,
:15:59. > :16:02.for example, an upsurge in flu cases could add to the high levels
:16:03. > :16:04.of pressure being Some say the NHS is in perpetual
:16:05. > :16:09.winter, with patient demand Today's problems
:16:10. > :16:26.could yet intensify. Our lead story is that of Donald
:16:27. > :16:29.Trump has given his first press conference as President-elect to
:16:30. > :16:33.questions on a range of subjects. Central to his message was a
:16:34. > :16:38.rejection of the idea that Russian intelligence holds any compromising
:16:39. > :16:43.information on him that would allow them to blackmail him. He said it
:16:44. > :16:49.was fake news. If you are outside of the UK it is would his American

:16:54. > :16:58.every day President Obama was in office. That up to nearly 3000
:16:59. > :17:02.paintings. Here in the UK it is the news at ten next. We will have more
:17:03. > :17:04.on the financial markets and the story we were talking about, the
:17:05. > :17:10.FTSE 100 continuing its record-breaking streak.
:17:11. > :17:18.Here is a tweet from the account used by President Obama. He said

:17:26. > :17:27.change, but in yours. If you were watching this time yesterday we were
:17:28. > :17:31.looking forward to his farewell address.
:17:32. > :17:33.He is one of the most gifted speakers ever
:17:34. > :17:36.The poet laureate of his own presidency.
:17:37. > :17:39.And his farewell words were uttered in his adopted city of Chicago,
:17:40. > :17:42.where he worked as a community organiser where he celebrated
:17:43. > :17:51.He came here to define and defend his legacy.

:18:03. > :18:06.Take out the mastermind of 9/11, you might have said that our
:18:07. > :18:26.There were no direct attacks on Donald Trump,
:18:27. > :18:29.but much of the speech read like a rebuttal to the
:18:30. > :18:31.billionaire's campaign to the President-elect's Twitter feed.
:18:32. > :18:33.Democracy can buckle when it gets into fear.

:18:48. > :18:49.Seldom has there been such a photogenic presidency.
:18:50. > :18:51.It has had the luck of a black Camelot, and the thank
:18:52. > :18:54.you to his wife Michelle left him struggling to contain his emotions.
:18:55. > :18:57.You took on a roll that you did not ask for.
:18:58. > :19:07.The great wordsmith rendered speechless,
:19:08. > :19:15.And, he ended with three famous words which brought such hope that
:19:16. > :19:32.It was a presidency which began with a mountaintop experience
:19:33. > :19:35.of becoming the first black man to live in a White House
:19:36. > :19:39.But it ended in the valley, with the knowledge that Donald Trump
:19:40. > :19:42.will try to strangle his signature achievements, and tried
:19:43. > :19:48.I just hope that President-elect Trump will take on some
:19:49. > :19:52.of his pointers and carry the torch of being fair to all people.
:19:53. > :19:59.But I know that will take some work, so we will wait on it.

:23:16. > :23:18.to bring you some of the key moments earlier today
:23:19. > :23:32.in President-elect Trump's first There was a time when it was assumed
:23:33. > :23:36.he made changes ways. There is an assumption that when he was the
:23:37. > :23:42.nominee that if you were to win the election he might approach matters
:23:43. > :23:50.in a different way. It is becoming very clear that Donald Trump is very
:23:51. > :23:52.much the same month we have always seen.
:23:53. > :24:01.I think it is a disgrace and I say that and that is something that Nazi
