:00:31. > :00:38.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:39. > :00:42.It has been a busy first day for Donald Trump.
:00:43. > :00:45.He's signed an executive order to withdraw the US from a major
:00:46. > :00:47.international trade deal between 12 Pacific Rim countries -
:00:48. > :00:50.And he's also had a message for business leaders.
:00:51. > :00:53.The regulations are going to be cut massively and the taxes
:00:54. > :00:56.are going to be cut way down so you're gonna have now incentive,
:00:57. > :01:02.Mr Trump's Sean Spicer has made his second appearance -
:01:03. > :01:05.his first at the weekend contained a a number of false statements -
:01:06. > :01:15.I'm going to tell you the facts as I know them and if we make a mistake
:01:16. > :01:17.we will do our best to correct that. Lyse Doucet is in Kazakhstan
:01:18. > :01:20.where Syrian peace talks convened by Russia, Iran
:01:21. > :01:22.and Turkey are underway. Plus Jonathan Beale will be live
:01:23. > :01:25.with me to explain the latest in a political row around
:01:26. > :01:46.the UK's nuclear deterrent. President Donald Trump has
:01:47. > :01:52.begun his first full week in office. One of his first moves
:01:53. > :01:55.is to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership -
:01:56. > :02:17.that's a trade deal Samir Hussein is here. Do we have
:02:18. > :02:24.other hurdles to jump before America is out? Did is pretty much it when
:02:25. > :02:27.it comes to the trade deal. The new President Trump was not going to go
:02:28. > :02:33.forward with this trade deal and it was a signature part of the
:02:34. > :02:37.administration, there was a lot of support for that. And when you talk
:02:38. > :02:41.about the transpacific partnership, people who did not agree with that,
:02:42. > :02:45.it was more Democrats not in agreement. So we're seeing President
:02:46. > :02:50.Trump, one of the first things he has done is to sign this order to
:02:51. > :02:54.get out of it. He is in fact going ahead with some of the things we
:02:55. > :03:00.talked about during his campaign. But interestingly this is something
:03:01. > :03:04.that usually people on both sides are in agreement with going forward
:03:05. > :03:08.with trade agreements. So it is a departure from what we have seen
:03:09. > :03:13.from other Republicans. But in line with what Donald Trump said of the
:03:14. > :03:18.campaign trail, bet he feels free trade is not serving American
:03:19. > :03:22.industry? Absolutely and we heard that the president has gone further
:03:23. > :03:27.still talking about the North American Free Trade Agreement and we
:03:28. > :03:33.heard from the White House spokesperson Sean Spicer who said in
:03:34. > :03:40.his first full briefing that they are going to be speaking with the
:03:41. > :03:42.heads of Canada and Mexico to look at renegotiating the North American
:03:43. > :03:49.Free Trade Agreement. So trade has been a topic for the president on
:03:50. > :03:57.his first full day in office. Stay with us, at the start of the day the
:03:58. > :04:03.President said he had a busy week planned.
:04:04. > :04:05.With a heavy focus on jobs and national security.
:04:06. > :04:21.We're going to be cutting taxes massively for both the middle-class
:04:22. > :04:27.and companies and that is massive. We're trying to get it down to 15,
:04:28. > :04:32.20%. We are going to be cutting regulation massively. We will have
:04:33. > :04:37.regulation, just a strong and protective of the people as the
:04:38. > :04:43.regulation we have right now. But what we have right now, you cannot
:04:44. > :04:48.do anything. We can cut regulations by 75%, maybe more. A company
:04:49. > :04:53.wanting to fire all its people in the United States, and build some
:04:54. > :04:57.factory someplace else and then thinks that product is just going to
:04:58. > :05:02.flow across the border into the US, that is not going to happen. They
:05:03. > :05:10.will have to pay a substantial border tax. When Donald Trump speaks
:05:11. > :05:14.of regulation, was specifically is he driving at? There are a few
:05:15. > :05:17.things he is driving at. When he talks a lot regulation he is talking
:05:18. > :05:23.about things like banking regulations, that he believes are
:05:24. > :05:27.hurting the ability of the banks to be able to engage in investing
:05:28. > :05:31.activities. When he talks about other regulations, he means the tax
:05:32. > :05:35.code, that is very complicated and he wants to reduce any difficulties
:05:36. > :05:44.around that and make it easier for businesses to create more jobs in
:05:45. > :05:48.the US. It is interesting about the people he assembled, business
:05:49. > :05:54.leaders from 12 different companies including Mr musk, and we thought
:05:55. > :06:01.that we had the head of Lockheed Martin, the number one arms supplier
:06:02. > :06:06.for the Pentagon, in charge of a fighter jet programme. The one that
:06:07. > :06:09.back in December Donald Trump criticised for cost overruns. There
:06:10. > :06:13.were also part of this roundtable discussion. And Donald Trump has now
:06:14. > :06:20.said he wants to bring this group back together again for almost a
:06:21. > :06:25.month to talk about different ways that they can keep more
:06:26. > :06:32.manufacturing jobs here in US. Thank you very much.
:06:33. > :06:34.White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has just
:06:35. > :06:40.This follows his debut on Saturday when he accused the press of false
:06:41. > :06:45.reporting and then made a number of incorrect statements.
:06:46. > :06:53.Well he tried to lighten the mood at the start of this one.
:06:54. > :07:00.Good afternoon and thank you for coming to our first official
:07:01. > :07:05.briefing. I was going to start with a recap of the inauguration but we
:07:06. > :07:09.have covered that pretty well. By the way I know that Josh Ernest was
:07:10. > :07:13.voted the most popular press secretary by the press corps and
:07:14. > :07:17.after checking my Twitter feed I shot him an e-mail letting him know
:07:18. > :07:18.he can rest easy that his title is secure for the next few days at
:07:19. > :07:25.least! That did not go down so well. We then got a sign of how the rules
:07:26. > :07:32.of the game have changed - first question to Rupert Murdoch's
:07:33. > :07:35.New York post. Second to the Christian
:07:36. > :07:37.Broadcasting Network, then two Inevitably though
:07:38. > :07:43.the issue of the size Remember Sean Spicer said
:07:44. > :07:47.it was the biggest ever inauguration crowd -
:07:48. > :08:04.when a raft of evidence There are times when we believe
:08:05. > :08:07.something to be true or get something from an agency or we act
:08:08. > :08:13.in haste because the information available was not complete but our
:08:14. > :08:21.desire to communicate with the American people, and so we do it.
:08:22. > :08:24.But I think when you look, we're going to do our best ever done we
:08:25. > :08:28.can. I will come out and tell you the facts as we know them and if I
:08:29. > :08:29.make a mistake I will do my best to correct it.
:08:30. > :08:31.For the record Sean Spicer defended his statement
:08:32. > :08:36.that the inauguration was the most watched of all time.
:08:37. > :08:42.He brought in internet viewing figures, not quite the point because
:08:43. > :08:47.originally he said it was the biggest crowd for inauguration.
:08:48. > :08:53.Let's go to Washington. You could argue that the first questions as
:08:54. > :08:56.these press briefings are turned around, Anthony Zurcher, but it
:08:57. > :09:00.looked like a quite conscious message being sent to a section of
:09:01. > :09:05.the US media? I think that is the case, the people he picked early on,
:09:06. > :09:08.he was going to get slightly different questions from them and I
:09:09. > :09:13.think that he knew that and managed to avoid some of the pressing
:09:14. > :09:18.questions especially about that contentious non-press briefing
:09:19. > :09:21.episode on Saturday until later on in the press conference. As you
:09:22. > :09:28.mention the questions came eventually. It is one thing for Sean
:09:29. > :09:31.Spicer to stand and talk about how even the administration makes
:09:32. > :09:34.mistakes sometimes. I think the press issue with that briefing was
:09:35. > :09:39.the confrontational nature of it, that he was accusing all the media
:09:40. > :09:44.pair of misrepresenting the facts and doing a poor job and being
:09:45. > :09:49.dishonest. So that set the stage for the press briefing today, where a
:09:50. > :09:55.lot of the people there, felt that they had some serious issues they
:09:56. > :09:59.need to air with Sean Spicer. Donald Trump was entitled to attack the
:10:00. > :10:04.media as a candidate, entitled to do so as president, but I guess this
:10:05. > :10:08.leaves some big decisions for the main US networks, for some of the
:10:09. > :10:12.pillars of US journalism like the New York Times, how they respond to
:10:13. > :10:18.a presidency which is carrying on completely differently to anything
:10:19. > :10:22.we've seen before? And say what you will about the nature of that press
:10:23. > :10:28.briefing statement on Saturday, but several of the major networks here
:10:29. > :10:32.in the US cut into the regular programming this afternoon to cover
:10:33. > :10:37.large chunks of the press briefing, all the major news networks covered
:10:38. > :10:41.it and there was a lot more attention to this press briefing
:10:42. > :10:44.than the past press briefings in the Obama White House. Part of that is
:10:45. > :10:48.it is the first one but still people were paying attention and want to
:10:49. > :10:52.see what Sean Spicer would say and do. So if you wanted to try to put
:10:53. > :10:58.the spotlight on the Trump administration, that was mission
:10:59. > :11:02.accomplished. I want to ask you, in a couple of hours we have a couple
:11:03. > :11:07.of Senate committee is due to vote on some of the key nominees in the
:11:08. > :11:12.Trump Cabinet. First of all Rex Tillerson, the man nominated for
:11:13. > :11:16.secretary of state and then Mike Pompeo, nominated as director of the
:11:17. > :11:19.CIA. If this goes through the committee then the full Senate will
:11:20. > :11:31.still vote on this but we are talking, while the process goes on,
:11:32. > :11:35.sometimes yours asked me if the screen and there is proof of it! The
:11:36. > :11:41.process goes on, but really we are not in for any shocks. I do not
:11:42. > :11:43.think so. From what I hear, when the confirmation comes through in
:11:44. > :11:49.committee, when approval comes through, they will be quickly voted
:11:50. > :11:52.on on the Senate floor because in reality there is a majority of
:11:53. > :11:57.Republicans in the Senate and all that has to happen for these people
:11:58. > :12:01.to be confirmed, as for the Republican senators to stick
:12:02. > :12:07.together. We found out earlier today Marco Rubio, who was a big question
:12:08. > :12:16.mark over the confirmation of Rex Tillerson, would be on board. Mike
:12:17. > :12:19.Pompeo, no real opposition for him amongst the Republican party. I
:12:20. > :12:28.think smooth sailing for them. Thank you very much. The idea of the
:12:29. > :12:32.screen, we can access everything coming through the BBC newsroom
:12:33. > :12:37.including all video and audio feeds. And if I select the wrong one as you
:12:38. > :12:40.see the feed coming in for someone else, but not for me, comes up on
:12:41. > :12:48.the screen. So I need to be very careful pressing the button.
:12:49. > :12:52.Let's go to what is happening in Kazakhstan.
:12:53. > :12:55.It's the first time representatives of Syria's armed rebel groups have
:12:56. > :13:01.led the opposition side at the negotiating table.
:13:02. > :13:03.Jihadist groups such as the Islamic State group
:13:04. > :13:05.and the Al Nusra Front are not in attendance.
:13:06. > :13:15.They're brokered by Turkey, which supports the rebels,
:13:16. > :13:25.and Iran and Russia, which back the Syrian government.
:13:26. > :13:28.The Russian Foreign Minister said last week he hoped
:13:29. > :13:30.the new administration of President Donald Trump would send
:13:31. > :13:34.The US State Department declined to do that -
:13:35. > :13:37.but the US Ambassador to Kazakhstan is in attendance.
:13:38. > :13:48.Lyse Doucet is at the talks and sent us this.
:13:49. > :13:54.In the opening ceremony rebel commanders, Syrian generals, sat
:13:55. > :14:01.together in public for the first time. Nobody walked out. But here on
:14:02. > :14:04.in it gets harder so what can be achieved, at the opening ceremony
:14:05. > :14:09.the first to speak was the hosts of these proceedings, the Kazakhstan
:14:10. > :14:16.Minister. We must admit that the bloodshed that continues to persist
:14:17. > :14:21.in Syria for approximately six years, has brought nothing but
:14:22. > :14:28.misery and hardship to the whole region, regarded as an intersection
:14:29. > :14:32.of different civilisations and cultures. So an effort at a peaceful
:14:33. > :14:37.settlement of the situation in Syria but how will they go about it, while
:14:38. > :14:39.the government delegation here are saying the same thing as the
:14:40. > :14:45.opposition when it comes to the main item on the agenda. That is
:14:46. > :14:52.consolidating a fragile ceasefire. The opposition says the government
:14:53. > :14:55.forces are violating the truce. That will be their main item and from
:14:56. > :15:03.then on they had different issues they want to begin to put on the
:15:04. > :15:09.table. And if you want updates on those talks, you can get more from

:18:19. > :18:27.defence correspondent. The story has been running over the weekend. What
:18:28. > :18:33.has shifted today? To be honest not a lot. Theresa May had been told
:18:34. > :18:36.there was a problem, we have not even have that confirmed from
:18:37. > :18:41.Downing Street. We know that she was told about this test, they have not
:18:42. > :18:47.said that there is has been a problem with this tripe missile test
:18:48. > :18:51.that occurred last June. Essentially both Theresa May and the Defence
:18:52. > :18:55.Secretary Michael Fallon are sticking to their script, refusing
:18:56. > :19:02.to confirm that there was a problem or refusing, or not it even
:19:03. > :19:07.admitting that there was a problem. And Michael Fallon in the Commons in
:19:08. > :19:11.front of MPs refused to be drawn on a number of questions, citing
:19:12. > :19:15.operational national security reasons. The problem with that is
:19:16. > :19:19.that in the past the Ministry of Defence when have been successful
:19:20. > :19:23.launches, has publicised them, has released video. Why it did not this
:19:24. > :19:29.time, was it because of that vote a few weeks later in the about
:19:30. > :19:34.renewing the Trident weapons system and I think the other problem
:19:35. > :19:37.tonight for Michael Fallon, won the Ministry of Defence is refusing to
:19:38. > :19:41.confirm that there was a problem, over on the other side of the
:19:42. > :19:45.Atlantic, an unnamed US defence official has told the Pentagon
:19:46. > :19:48.reporter that there was a problem and that the missile had to be
:19:49. > :19:55.aborted and destroyed during mid-flight. Not saying that it was
:19:56. > :19:57.going of course, I should say. So you have this bizarre situation
:19:58. > :20:03.where on the one hand the British Government is saying it will not
:20:04. > :20:05.comment further on what is the independent British nuclear
:20:06. > :20:09.deterrent but at the same time an unnamed official, someone we are
:20:10. > :20:15.told that direct knowledge of these tests, who said that something went
:20:16. > :20:20.wrong. We do not know if anything went wrong but if it had, would be
:20:21. > :20:28.proud for the Prime Minister to brief parliament? -- would it be
:20:29. > :20:33.protocol. Not necessarily, I think this is just an issue because in the
:20:34. > :20:36.past when they have been successful launches, the Ministry of Defence
:20:37. > :20:41.has released details of those successful launches. Over the past
:20:42. > :20:46.four occasions. So we do not know if they have been any other problems
:20:47. > :20:51.and it is true to say that the Trident missile system has been
:20:52. > :20:58.tried and tested 161 successful tests, we understand only six have
:20:59. > :21:01.had problems. So not necessarily, but I think there are questions as
