:00:08. > :00:17.Welcome back to Outside Source. These are some of our main stories.

: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

:16:50. > :16:53.next. It will have a story of a painter he made a single image for

: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

:17:19. > :17:25.that last as is the same as the first, believe that in my ability to

: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.

:17:52. > :17:54.If I told you eight years ago that America would reverse

:17:55. > :18:02.Shut down Iran's nuclear weapons programme without firing a shot...

: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.

:18:34. > :18:35.That is why I rejected discrimination against

:18:36. > :18:47.APPLAUSE CHEERING Who are just as patriotic as we are.

: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.

:20:00. > :20:01.Barack Obama is a leader who will have the word "era"

:20:02. > :20:04.attached to his name, but some will see it as a great

:20:05. > :20:08.That the name "Trump" now looms so large.

:20:09. > :20:23.You can see clips from the speech and Donald Trump's press conference

:20:24. > :20:26.they are on the BBC website. The winter freeze in Europe is

:20:27. > :20:28.hitting migrants particularly hard. In Greece, temperatures plummeted

:20:29. > :20:30.to freezing levels not seen since the 1960s,

:20:31. > :20:32.with rare snow falling The BBC's Howard Johnson has

:20:33. > :20:37.travelled to a refugee camp Now, there's not water,

:20:38. > :21:17.nothing inside. I have just arrived

:21:18. > :21:20.at the Malakasa refugee camp. There is an impromptu demonstration

:21:21. > :21:26.here against the conditions We would have a look

:21:27. > :21:30.inside ourselves, but we Apparently there is a blanket

:21:31. > :21:39.ban on media filming The containers, they didn't have

:21:40. > :21:43.a door, they didn't have windows. It's not like people didn't

:21:44. > :22:02.know winter was coming. You know, just like

:22:03. > :22:13.clockwork, winter hits. In this particular camp,

:22:14. > :22:19.the only winterisation that has been done as far as infrastructure has

:22:20. > :22:21.been done by us. The first floor, so we could move

:22:22. > :22:25.the family is in from the tent. And, basically, none of the large

:22:26. > :22:27.organisations could manage to do Girls and boys fighting

:22:28. > :23:15.with the snow. We've time just before we go

: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

:24:02. > :24:06.Germany would have done and did do. It is a disgrace that information

:24:07. > :24:12.that was false and fake and never happened but released to the public.

:24:13. > :24:15.If Putin likes of Donald Trump, I consider that an asset, not a
