:00:13. > :00:19.Donald Trump has arrived in Washington for events leading up to
:00:20. > :00:22.his inauguration on Friday. The vice President-elect says this will be a
:00:23. > :00:24.smooth transfer of power. Our job is to be ready on day one.
:00:25. > :00:28.American people can be confident that we will be.

:00:31. > :00:33.I'll play you a BBC interview with President Putin's spokesperson,
:00:34. > :00:36.who denies that the Russian state hacked the US elections.
:00:37. > :00:45.Senegalese troops have entered the country to support

:00:48. > :00:53.Up to 35 people are missing after an avalanche hit
:00:54. > :01:08.If you have any questions on the stories we are covering, in
:01:09. > :01:13.particular about inauguration day. You can contact us on social media.
:01:14. > :01:17.You can see the contact information on the screen throughout. If I can't
:01:18. > :01:27.answer the question, I'll try and find someone who can.
:01:28. > :01:31.This time tomorrow, Doanld Trump will be President of America.
:01:32. > :01:42.Let's have a look at some of the pictures that have come in in the
:01:43. > :01:44.last few hours. Here he is, landing
:01:45. > :01:46.at Andrews Air Force base He spoke to his staff at a lunch
:01:47. > :01:58.at his Washington hotel earlier. There was a jovial atmosphere, as
:01:59. > :02:02.you would imagine. Staff, supporters and his family all gathering to,
:02:03. > :02:06.well, celebrate what he has achieved, which is something quite
:02:07. > :02:09.extraordinary. I'm not sure many people apart from Donald Trump and
:02:10. > :02:13.soul thought it would be possible he could get the presidency, but he has
:02:14. > :02:15.proved all of those doubters wrong. -- Donald Trump himself.
:02:16. > :02:20.He laid a wreath at Arlington Cemetery less than an hour ago.
:02:21. > :02:26.That was to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in service to the
:02:27. > :02:30.US military. This is where the ceremony will take place tomorrow.
:02:31. > :02:33.You can imagine the amount of preparation involved in putting on
:02:34. > :02:38.inauguration day in Washington, DC is quite something. And, well mike
:02:39. > :02:40.would be surprised to hear this - there are lots of extra security and
:02:41. > :02:42.police around. @davidcommon CBC News: "Always
:02:43. > :02:44.lots of police in #Washington, but with protest and security
:02:45. > :02:55.threats, way more In a moment, I will speak to Jane
:02:56. > :02:59.O'Brien, live from the Washington newsroom. Let's just quickly have a
:03:00. > :03:04.look at the concert going on at the moment. This is a concert to make
:03:05. > :03:07.America great again, that is the title of the concert. As you can
:03:08. > :03:12.see, lots of people turning out right at the other end from where
:03:13. > :03:13.the inauguration ceremony will take place. We'll keep an eye on that
:03:14. > :03:14.concert. We can speak to our US
:03:15. > :03:22.Correspondent, Jane O'Brien. Washington is a city like any other
:03:23. > :03:27.anyway, almost a city apart from the rest of the country. -- unlike any
:03:28. > :03:30.other. I guess it changes fundamentally at this particular
:03:31. > :03:34.moment. We have just seen an abrupt change of tone in the last few
:03:35. > :03:41.minutes. When Donald Trump laid the wreath at the tomb of the unknown
:03:42. > :03:45.is, it was a very powerful symbol of the responsibility and the
:03:46. > :03:49.seriousness that he will assume as the nation's commander-in-chief.
:03:50. > :03:55.This was the first real official event when we see this transfer of
:03:56. > :04:01.power, this peaceful transition of power from one president to the
:04:02. > :04:05.relaxed. As I said, the real weight of responsibility that he will also
:04:06. > :04:09.assume when he takes the oath of office at noon. It's also a
:04:10. > :04:12.tradition that is aimed at establishing a real connection with
:04:13. > :04:15.the military. Of course, Donald Trump has never served in the
:04:16. > :04:20.military, with the men and women that he may come as
:04:21. > :04:24.commander-in-chief, may asked to make the ultimate sacrifice. -- may
:04:25. > :04:27.have to ask. Very different to the mood at the concert at the Lincoln
:04:28. > :04:32.Memorial that we were just showing. That is more of a celebration. In
:04:33. > :04:35.the last half hour or so, we have really witnessed that first
:04:36. > :04:40.transition of power. You mentioned he will take the oath of office at
:04:41. > :04:45.noon. Does his speech directly follow that? To be perfectly honest,
:04:46. > :04:49.I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events. What we are expecting
:04:50. > :04:54.from the speech is first of all it will be quite short. We are told
:04:55. > :05:01.that he is still preparing it. He is edits. And a few tweaks here and
:05:02. > :05:06.there. It's being described by Sean Spicer, his press secretary, at his
:05:07. > :05:10.very first press briefing today, as less of an agenda and more of a full
:05:11. > :05:15.as the goal document. I don't quite know what that means, -- a
:05:16. > :05:20.philosophical document. It's going to be a statement of Mr Trump's
:05:21. > :05:25.thoughts of what it is to be in government. What it is to be a
:05:26. > :05:33.citizen and his expectations and ambitions for America under his
:05:34. > :05:35.leadership. Depending on who you are in America, you are either excitable
:05:36. > :05:38.apprehensive about what Mr Trump is going to do when he assumes this
:05:39. > :05:40.role. When will the work begin? Can he get on with things tomorrow
:05:41. > :05:44.afternoon, or should we wait until Monday before the work really gets
:05:45. > :05:48.going? One minute past name, that is when the work begins. The Corompt
:05:49. > :05:52.team are up against it, because a lot of the key Cabinet positions
:05:53. > :06:00.have not yet been filled -- by Trump team. The confirmation process is
:06:01. > :06:04.still underway. The second tier of jobs of these various agencies are
:06:05. > :06:07.also unfilled. The team have established what they have called a
:06:08. > :06:12.beachhead of workers and volunteers who will go into these agencies and
:06:13. > :06:15.literally one minute past name and they will just keep them running,
:06:16. > :06:18.keep them functioning and told the management can really be
:06:19. > :06:25.established. He has also had to ask a number of Obama administration
:06:26. > :06:29.people in key posts, including several key posts in national
:06:30. > :06:34.security, to stay on, because he hasn't been able to fill those jobs
:06:35. > :06:37.yet. Although the work technically can begin immediately, it's going to
:06:38. > :06:43.take a little longer to establish the real structures and the
:06:44. > :06:48.formation of these agencies that he's going to be in charge of. Jane,
:06:49. > :06:52.for the moment, thank you. Good luck tomorrow for you and all my
:06:53. > :06:56.colleagues in Washington, it will be a very busy day on inauguration day.
:06:57. > :07:00.You can get full coverage of the inauguration of Donald Trump on BBC
:07:01. > :07:02.News. One other detail I spotted on Twitter, this from the BBC world
:07:03. > :07:03.Twitter feed. Trump hints New York Jets
:07:04. > :07:16.owner Woody Johnson That's not confirmed. Just a comment
:07:17. > :07:22.that suggests it is made by Mr Trump's thinking. Let's turn to an
:07:23. > :07:27.interview that came into the BBC news room not long ago.
:07:28. > :07:30.Stephen Sackur from BBC's HardTalk spoke earlier with the Kremlin
:07:31. > :07:31.spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who works closely
:07:32. > :07:37.Stephen came onto the earlier edition of Outside Source
:07:38. > :07:41.after that interview to tell me about it.
:07:42. > :07:48.It was absolutely fascinating. You can imagine here in Moscow, minds
:07:49. > :07:54.are very much focused on what the Trump presidency will mean for
:07:55. > :07:57.Russia- US relations. And of course, I asked Dmitry Peskov, chief
:07:58. > :08:03.spokesman for Mr Bruton, all about that in the course of the interview,
:08:04. > :08:06.which we recorded just a short time ago -- President Putin. There was
:08:07. > :08:10.one other big issue I wanted to discuss with Mr Peskov. He
:08:11. > :08:14.personally has been described in some of the leaks on the information
:08:15. > :08:20.that has been flying around in recent days as 80 architect of what
:08:21. > :08:25.some alleged to be a concerted campaign of Russian bloody tricks --
:08:26. > :08:35.as a key architect. Bastareaud cyber hacking, -- dirty tricks. I had to
:08:36. > :08:39.ask Mr Peskov about this, about the allegations of cyber hacking. He
:08:40. > :08:43.responded by trying to turn the tables on me somewhat. He said, you
:08:44. > :08:47.know, it is in the United States where they suffer from cyber
:08:48. > :08:53.hacking. We suffer from it here in Russia, too. That might listen to
:08:54. > :08:59.his answer. Everyday, we have hundreds of thousands of cyber
:09:00. > :09:05.attacks against our digital systems in the Russian Federation. Some of
:09:06. > :09:10.them are coming from the territory of the United States. Dozens are
:09:11. > :09:20.coming from the territory of Germany. Dozens are coming from
:09:21. > :09:27.Great Britain. Do you think that it means, with a high state of
:09:28. > :09:32.certainty, that those attacks against our digital systems are
:09:33. > :09:36.being promoted by the governments in Washington, in London, or in Berlin?
:09:37. > :09:43.No, you are probably saying no, neither the Russian government nor
:09:44. > :09:47.the Kremlin, nor President Putin personally, nor military
:09:48. > :09:57.intelligence stand behind those attacks. If they really exist. Yes,
:09:58. > :10:03.Mr Peskov look to be in the eye and said, I can tell you, we are not
:10:04. > :10:06.responsible -- looked me in the eye. The Russian government are not
:10:07. > :10:10.responsible for the hacking of the DNC, the Democratic party e-mails,
:10:11. > :10:14.or any of the other that some in the West have accused us of. I said to
:10:15. > :10:18.him, well, somebody is lying here. It is either by Western intelligence
:10:19. > :10:25.agencies or it is you in Russia. He said, I agree with you. We will with
:10:26. > :10:28.interest the investigations and fold in the US, if they have real
:10:29. > :10:30.evidence, they should present it. In the view of Russia, that real
:10:31. > :10:34.evidence does not exist. That's Mike move onto the second topic that
:10:35. > :10:40.dominated our conversation, that of what Russia makes of Donald Trump.
:10:41. > :10:46.Mr Trump issued certain warm words about Mr Boot Room, saying he is
:10:47. > :10:51.smart and he believes -- President Putin. He believes President Putin
:10:52. > :10:54.is Abra ball. Does that mean there will be a warmer relationship
:10:55. > :10:58.between Donald Trump's Administration and Vladimir Putin's
:10:59. > :11:03.Russia? Here are the thoughts of Proskow on what comes next for
:11:04. > :11:07.Russia live in US relations. We want to have good relations with America
:11:08. > :11:10.-- thoughts of Peskov. We believe that we cannot solve lots of
:11:11. > :11:15.problems in this world and in our region that are endangering our
:11:16. > :11:21.country without cooperation with the Americans. That's why we are
:11:22. > :11:25.desperately needing a good relationship with Washington. But it
:11:26. > :11:28.takes two to tango. And what will be the approach by President Trump?
:11:29. > :11:39.This is the question. Stephen, did you pick of frustration by Mr Pasok
:11:40. > :11:44.Peskov that the narrative has been accepted in the West? Yes, there is
:11:45. > :11:49.a great deal of frustration about that. I think Mr Peskov believes
:11:50. > :11:55.that the Western approach to Russia is deeply prejudiced and deeply
:11:56. > :11:59.unfair. But then he probably would say that, wouldn't he? I'll tell you
:12:00. > :12:03.something interesting, though, that came out of the interview. He
:12:04. > :12:06.believes, and it's clear that the Russian government in general belief
:12:07. > :12:11.that Barack Obama, in the last few days and weeks, has been trying to
:12:12. > :12:14.in a sense limit Donald Trump's room for manoeuvre. Everything Mr Obama
:12:15. > :12:19.was saying yesterday for example about the importance of not easing
:12:20. > :12:23.sanctions on Russia unless Russia gives ground and the Ukraine issue,
:12:24. > :12:27.that is something the Russians deeply resent. Of course, they are
:12:28. > :12:33.hoping Donald Trump might well be a trusted in easing those sanctions,
:12:34. > :12:37.which are hurting the Russian economy -- might well be in trusted.
:12:38. > :12:42.Mr Trump will broadly expect something in return, and on that, Mr
:12:43. > :12:46.Peskov was not giving ground at all. I asked Mr Peskov, will there be a
:12:47. > :12:51.summit meeting between Putin and Trump in the near future? The
:12:52. > :12:55.Russians clearly wanted. Mr Peskov said, that is something we will work
:12:56. > :12:58.towards, but it is likely to take months rather than weeks. That is
:12:59. > :13:00.something we will obviously keep watching.
:13:01. > :13:02.You can catch Stephen's full interview with Dmitry Peskov
:13:03. > :13:08.on HardTalk, starting from the 21st of January.
:13:09. > :13:15.We are not going short of big interviews an Outside Source today.
:13:16. > :13:19.We have had Dmitry Peskov. We will also play you, Ahmed talking to the
:13:20. > :13:23.UK Prime Minister Theresa May. And we will talk about what is happening
:13:24. > :13:25.in the Gambia. That is the new president being sworn in. But he is
:13:26. > :13:28.not able to do it in his own not able to do it in his own
:13:29. > :13:30.country. We will explain what is going on, and why Senegalese troops
:13:31. > :13:37.have come across the border. The former Northern Ireland Deputy
:13:38. > :13:39.First Minister, Martin McGuinness, has announced he is to retire
:13:40. > :13:41.from front line politics and will not seek re-election
:13:42. > :13:44.to the Stormont Assembly in March. He said he had intended
:13:45. > :13:46.to step down in May, but that plan was overtaken
:13:47. > :14:13.by health problems and the political My own health problems have come
:14:14. > :14:18.after that crisis. I've really been dealing with this health situation
:14:19. > :14:23.for the last couple of months. It's a very serious illness. It has taken
:14:24. > :14:30.its toll on me. But I'm very determined to overcome it. And I'm
:14:31. > :14:34.very determined to overcome it to an extent where I can be very much
:14:35. > :14:45.involved in the whole process of peace and unity and reconciliation.
:14:46. > :14:48.This is Outside Source, live from the BBC newsroom.
:14:49. > :14:52.Events have begun in Washington leading up to Donald Trump's
:14:53. > :14:56.Earlier, Mr Trump laid a wreath at Arlington Cemetery to honour
:14:57. > :15:08.Let's turn to the main stories from the BBC World Service.
:15:09. > :15:10.Turkish media is reporting that the man suspected of attacking

:15:26. > :15:36.Lava and ash is being thrown more than 2000m into the air.
:15:37. > :15:45.Let me show you a bit more of the Make America Great Against concert,
:15:46. > :15:47.taking place at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. -- great again.
:15:48. > :16:37.Let's have a listen. That is the first of many bands we
:16:38. > :16:41.are going to hear both today and tomorrow as the various events tied
:16:42. > :16:44.in with Donald Trump's inauguration get underway. There is a huge parade
:16:45. > :16:48.tomorrow, featuring lots of bands like the one we have just seen. We
:16:49. > :16:53.will keep an eye on that concert and play more of it a little later on. I
:16:54. > :16:55.want to turn to what has been happening at the annual World
:16:56. > :16:59.Economic Forum in Davos in Switzerland.
:17:00. > :17:00.Theresa May has speaking at the annual World
:17:01. > :17:05.There was particular attention on what she said

:17:09. > :17:13.Here is the Prime Minister with the BBC's Economics
:17:14. > :17:24.What I described in my speech when I spoke about Brexit is actually our
:17:25. > :17:27.ambition as Britain, our ambition for a global Britain, ambition for a
:17:28. > :17:30.Britain which not only has a good free trade agreement with the EU but
:17:31. > :17:34.a Britain that is trading around the rest of the world. We have seen a
:17:35. > :17:37.number of countries that want to do trade agreements with us. Earlier
:17:38. > :17:41.today the Australians confirmed their commitment for a trade deal
:17:42. > :17:50.with the United Kingdom. So I want to be ambitious for the UK, and I am
:17:51. > :17:52.ambitious for the UK in what we can achieve, trading with the EU but
:17:53. > :17:55.also around the world, a truly global Britain. What have the banks
:17:56. > :17:58.said to you about why they are moving jobs? I have had a very good,
:17:59. > :18:02.positive discussion with banks about the benefits of the City of London,
:18:03. > :18:06.what has brought them there and how we can continue to build on that for
:18:07. > :18:10.the future. And there are huge benefits for investment in the UK.
:18:11. > :18:13.We have a fundamentally very strong economy. We have a service sector
:18:14. > :18:18.that is very important to us, that is valued around the world. I
:18:19. > :18:22.believe that truly global Britain can bring drops and prosperity to

:18:29. > :18:39.jobs. The white you can find that interview online. You can find that
:18:40. > :18:41.interview online. You might have heard that the nominations for

:18:45. > :18:45.President-elect Donald Trump's choice for Treasury Secretary
:18:46. > :18:50.He is a former banker with Goldman Sachs.
:18:51. > :18:52.He is nominated as Treasury Secretary.
:18:53. > :18:54.Here's some of what he said during his confirmation hearing.
:18:55. > :18:56.I want to correct the record about my involvement
:18:57. > :18:59.Since I was first nominated to serve as Treasury Secretary,
:19:00. > :19:02.I have been maligned as taking advantage of others,
:19:03. > :19:11.Nothing could be further from the truth.
:19:12. > :19:23.That is all to do with when he led a buyout of IndyMac, which collapsed
:19:24. > :19:26.in 2008. It was connected to the financial crisis, some call it the
:19:27. > :19:30.second-biggest banking collapse after Lehmann Brothers. There was a
:19:31. > :19:36.lot of two and fro about the role that he played in picking up of that
:19:37. > :19:41.business and the transformation of it. You can get more background
:19:42. > :19:43.online, look at the Washington Post and New York Times if you want
:19:44. > :19:45.details reporting on what is happening in that Treasury Secretary
:19:46. > :19:48.hearing. Perhaps a story that is not quite as
:19:49. > :19:52.important, you may have missed this. You might have missed this,
:19:53. > :19:55.but it appears that here in the UK we're in the grips
:19:56. > :19:58.of a courgette crisis. The Manchester Evening News says
:19:59. > :20:02.shoppers just can't cope. As the Daily Mail explains

:21:08. > :21:12.affected the up-and-coming sort of fruit from the trees. Things like
:21:13. > :21:20.that as well. The long-term effect we may still feel. A very serious
:21:21. > :21:25.story in Teheran today. The collapse of a high-rise building was shown
:21:26. > :21:27.live on state television. It is because of a big fire. This is what
:21:28. > :21:39.happened. We know the building had been
:21:40. > :21:42.evacuated, but unfortunately dozens of firefighters had gone into the
:21:43. > :21:45.building to try and deal with the fire. The city's mayor has confirmed

:21:53. > :21:58.BBC Persia have been covering this story. The building has collapsed

:22:10. > :22:15.collapsing. The fire started at 7:30am. We presumed there were some
:22:16. > :22:22.people inside it. The authorities tried to evacuate the area, and the
:22:23. > :22:26.neighbouring areas. From the British Embassy, the German and the Turkish
:22:27. > :22:31.embassies. They did manage to put out the fire, or they thought they
:22:32. > :22:37.had. Then more firefighters went in, even civilians, people who had
:22:38. > :22:40.businesses there, went into check. And then suddenly the whole thing
:22:41. > :22:49.collapsed again after the fire restarted. Thanks for that update.

:23:00. > :23:03.Senegalese troops have gone in to support Adama Barrow, who has been
:23:04. > :23:07.sworn in. He was sworn in in Senegal because he doesn't believe it is
:23:08. > :23:11.safe to be in the Gambia. Yahya Jammeh is refusing to relinquish
:23:12. > :23:21.power. Let's bring in a BBC correspondent. Tell us more about
:23:22. > :23:26.this military operation? Well, West African troops led by Senegal, we
:23:27. > :23:32.understand, have crossed into the Gambia now. It has been confirmed by
:23:33. > :23:37.the spokesman of the Senegalese army. We don't exactly know how far,
:23:38. > :23:42.how deep they've come into the Gambia. It is possible that some of
:23:43. > :23:47.the troops have to be ferried across the river, so we don't exactly know
:23:48. > :23:52.the position. Everything is calm here in the capital, the city is
:23:53. > :23:57.like a ghost town tonight. And that's been the case for the whole
:23:58. > :23:59.day, actually. The streets are deserted, there's very little
:24:00. > :24:06.traffic on the main roads and the shops, the gas stations, everything
:24:07. > :24:16.stayed closed the entire day. And obviously here there is an anxious
:24:17. > :24:19.wait, to know whether the Senegalese forces are going to come all the way
:24:20. > :24:26.to the capital the night and whether they will meet any resistance. So
:24:27. > :24:29.far, the army spokesman of the Senegalese troops were telling us
:24:30. > :24:36.that they haven't met any resistance on the way. Do we know where the
:24:37. > :24:43.president is's the president who lost this election? You're talking
:24:44. > :24:49.about joy Jamala. We understand he is still in the state house, --
:24:50. > :24:56.Yahya Jammeh. We are not aware of a new whereabouts. But what we are
:24:57. > :24:59.told is that he's still there. There's very little security
:25:00. > :25:07.presence around the straight house. A few checkpoints, -- the state
:25:08. > :25:13.house. Nothing too major. And certainly what will be questionable
:25:14. > :25:18.tonight is whether the security forces that are still here in the
:25:19. > :25:24.capital are deployed on the President Jammeh's rule, whether
:25:25. > :25:30.they will try to resist the advance of the Senegalese troops and the
:25:31. > :25:34.Nigerian colleagues as well. Thank you, we appreciate the update. We
:25:35. > :25:38.have just had a message from one viewer saying, when you refer to the
:25:39. > :25:44.new president, please use his name. It is a he was inaugurated at the
:25:45. > :25:49.Gambian Embassy in Senegal. He wants to get home, when he will be a bull
:25:50. > :26:06.to do that, we just don't know. -- his name is Adama Barrow.
:26:07. > :26:12.Good evening. There is a lot going on with the weather in the world at
:26:13. > :26:16.the moment. I have to start in Europe. Winter weather has been
:26:17. > :26:17.causing some big problems close to the
