One of Donald Trump's closest aides has been reprimanded

the President's daughter in a live interview, something federal

Meanwhile Donald Trump says these comments about his pick

and on and on and on and poor comments made by President Trump

about the judiciary -- he is disheartened and do moralised by the

comments President Trump made about the judiciary.

A colleague has confirmed that Neil Gorsuch made the comments,

We will talk you through that with the help of our correspondent in

Nairobi. And if you want to get

in touch - #BBCOS. As we do on every programme,

here is a full update on what's been happening in the Trump

administration in the last 24 hours: First, Kellyanne Conway -

she's a White House special advisor, she's definitely in Donald Trump's

inner circle, and according to the White House she's been

reprimanded for comments she made It's all related to a story that

starts with this tweet "My daughter Ivanka has been treated

so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -

always pushing me to The president was taking issue

with a retailer for dropping his Next that tweet was retweeted

by the @POTUS account. So that's the official Twitter

feed of the President of America pushing out opinion

on an individual business decision. That was yesterday, then today

Kellyanne Conway went onto Fox News and said,

"Go buy Ivanka's stuff. I'm going to go get

some myself today," "I'm going to give a free commercial

here: Go buy it today, everybody." I do not have the rights to play you

that clip but I can show you the court.

And it's that which has got her this summons.

We can now speak to Anthony Zurcher in Washington.

Same old story. How much trouble is she in? There is a federal law which

pretty much speaks directly to this, which says "An employee shall not

use his public office for his private gain or the endorsement of

any products, service or enterprise." So when Kellyanne

Conway stands and says you should go out and buy the Nordstrom product

that is pretty clearly a violation of this federal law. The way this

has been handled in the past usually is for a supervisor, someone within

the agency, to recommend that employee, possibly block their pay

and some sort of suspension, so the curious thing here is it would have

to be Trump's and White House punishing Kellyanne Conway, and the

question is whether Donald Trump himself or someone in the senior

staff would be willing to sanction Kellyanne Conway for comments that

were basically in line with what the president himself had just As many

as are of the opinion, say 'aye'. To the contrary, 'no'.. Presumably

there is no chance of Donald Trump being sanctioned? -- the president

himself had just tweeted. No, the president cannot be sanction, but

there could be an adverse action towards a specific company, so

opened himself up to lawsuits. The curious thing is Kellyanne Conway,

the with these comments, and it kind of came off as a joking aside at the

end of the interview, but with these comments everyone all of a sudden is

speaking about Kellyanne Conway, from Democrats, to good government

people, to Republicans, so she is catching the heat that the president

was just yesterday. Imagine a destroyer pulling up between an

incoming torpedo and aircraft carrier. She sacrifices herself but

the main ship survives. All right, taking one for the team. Here is

another story. Neil Gorsuch is Donald Trump's

nominee for Supreme Court. This is Democratic Senator

Richard Blumenthal. He says Mr Gorsuch told him

that Mr Trump's recent comments on the judiciary

are "disheartening My strong hope is that he will be

more vehement publicly. He certainly expressed to me

that he is disheartened by the demoralising and abhorrent

comments made by President Trump Next - enter the

president on Twitter. @RealDonaldTrump -

"Sen.Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam

when he said for years he had, now misrepresents

what Judge Gorsuch told him?" Combative comments

from the president. Let's do an Outside Source Fact

Check on those claims. We know that former Republican

senator Kelly Ayotte, who is helping with Mr Gorsuch's

confirmation, issued a statement saying the comments were not

referring to any specific case but that he finds any criticism

of a judge's integrity and independence to be

"disheartening and demoralising." So that backs up that

the words were used, though it's not the same

as Mr Gorsuch saying so. I guess that means we cannot be too

precise about whether the president is right or wrong? Right, it is all

second-hand information, and what I think this will do is increase the

pressure on judge Gorsuch to either confirm or deny he said that

personally. I imagine at the Senate confirmation hearings for is just a

ship he will be asked directly, do you agree with what Donald Trump is

doing with his immigration order in questioning the judgment of

so-called judges, and he will have to answer that or dodge it, but in

the background there will be these stories about how he has already

told people with the cameras running that this was a problem. He has not

denied it but been silent so far but I am not sure he will be able to

stay silent too much longer. OK, so the president attacking a Democratic

senator. A major retailer, and now...

Donald Trump has also attacked Senator John McCain,

who is one of the most senior Republicans.

Senator McCain said a recent operation in Yemen wasn't a success.

We actually discuss that on Outside Source yesterday, that operation.

Trump told NBC News "When you lose a $75 million airplane

-- john McCain told NBC News. I don't believe you can

We might add that 12 civilians including children were also killed.

McCain should not be talking about the success or failure

He went on to described a 'winning mission'.

These two have formed? Yes, this goes back to the beginning of Donald

Trump's presidential campaign when he questioned John McCain's heroism.

John McCain of course is a decorated hero, fought in Vietnam, a prisoner

of war, but Donald Trump said, "I prefer my he was not to be

captured." And at the same everyone thought it was ridiculous, Donald

Trump has done it now and his presidential campaign will collapse.

Of course it didn't it went on and John McCain eventually came around

and somewhat supported Donald Trump's presidential campaign but

obviously there is a lot of tension and bad blood still there and as

soon as John McCain said something, Donald Trump was very quick to fire

off a number of tweets this morning pushing back. Thank you very much,

Anthony, live with us from Washington. Well, that was American

democracy. This is what South Africa's

democracy looked like today. President Zuma gave his State

of the Union speech. Before things got physical,

the verbal attacks started coming. Sitting in front of us here, is a

man... You're out of order. And incorrigible man, brought in, and

that has been found by the Constitutional court, and this

story... A majority to keep him, but it doesn't make him a legitimate

president! Mr Zuma has collapsed his own right to address us here. Mr

President, 441 soldiers to protect you...

That was the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party -

After a number of disturbances, security guards were called,

He was being called an honourable member but we will judge how

honourable -- I will let you judge how honourable he was...

The people in white are security guards. You would have seen a major

right hook going in from one of the EFF members as they were escorted

out. If the EFF members left

in the middle of a scrum. The biggest opposition

party, the Democratic As we speak there are military

personnel with rifles in combat fatigues on the parliamentary

precinct. There are a riot police lining the streets outside and on

the precinct right outside this building. Our guests, they have been

it with some form of tear gas. Madame Houster, Madam Speaker, no

democracy should have to witness what we are witnessing in this

house. This man has broken South Africa. You are breaking the

Parliament. After that the Democratic Alliance's members watch

out. They had lots of disagreements with President Zuma, but they said

they had militarised an area with Lee Grant that should have no

military presence. That was going on inside Parliament but if that was

not enough, this was going on outside... Supporters of the

government, the ANC government, plus supporters of the EFF and the DA,

the two main opposition groups, and police had to use stun guns to

disperse the crowds, so that also spiked, and in the middle of all of

this president Gorsuch did also give his speech. Here's one part... In

these 20, 30 years of our freedom, our mission remains. Our quest for a

united democratic nonsexist nonracial and prosperous South

Africa. Guided by the National development plan, we are building a

South Africa that must be free from poverty, inequality and

unemployment. Whilst the global economic environment remains

uncertain, indications are that we have entered a period of recovery.

The last point to make is that the president is not just under pressure

from the opposition. He is under pressure from some people within his

own party, the ANC. The ANC has been in power since the beginning of

democracy in South Africa, 1994 and end of apartheid. Some people in the

ANC think there is too much corruption, too much bad governance

and there is a risk they could lose the next election, hence the huge

pressure on the president from within own party as well as from the

opposing parties. Stay with us because coming up

we have a report from the US It was a year ago today that

Donald Trump claimed victory The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan went

to find out how voters Official figures

show only 86% of A patients in England were dealt

with within four hours in December. That's the lowest

since the 95% target Provisional data leaked to the BBC

has also suggested the performance Our health editor Hugh Pym explains

the extent of the pressures for emergency departments

across the UK. It was 86.2%, the worst since

records began in 2004. Scotland was actually higher, 92.6%. Wheels down

at 81% and Northern Ireland just below 70%, so the same pressures

everywhere -- Wales were down. Different bits of the UK reacting in

slightly different ways. Let me quote another statistic. Almost

500,000 emergency admissions to hospitals in England in December,

another record high. This is Outside Source live

from the BBC newsroom. Key Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway

has been reprimanded by the White House after she promoted

a clothing range owned Miss Conway told a breakfast

television programme to "go Her comments have been labelled over

the line and unacceptable. -- Now to some of the main stories

from BBC World Service... The International Committee

of the Red Cross is temporarily suspending its aid programme

in Afghanistan after an an attack on one of its convoys

killed six staff dead. BBC Mundo reports that

Julian Assange will be given a month's notice to leave

the Ecuadorian embassy if the country's main

opposition wins the presidency Guillermo Lasso is the candidate -

he was talking to the Guardian. This man in Australia spent hours

into a waterhole and then I cannot believe you haven't already

seen this. He was rescued and there were no injuries. The good news.

One of the reasons we've got a social media feed

that is always available for me here is that Twitter has

As you'll know it's Donald Trump's number one way to communicate.

Many other public figures use it too.

But here's the thing - Twitter is losing money.

It has 319 million users worldwide, but since 2011,

Today, it reported a loss of $167 million for the fourth

And with a certain inevitability, its shares dropped nearly

On the BBC North America Tech correspondent, live with us from the

north coast. -- West Coast. An awful lot of money to be losing. What is

Twitter spending it on? The losses have grown in the past year because

they have been trying to invest in new ways to keep people on the

platform, on Twitter, and also attract new people do it. They have

been striking deals with the NFL to short-lived American football on

Twitter. That does not seem to have increased engagement to the level

they hoped it would. That is where they are spending the money, but

having said that Twitter losing money has really been a problem for

it. A Silicon Valley company losing money is almost just part of the

package -- not really a problem for it. What has really been a problem

is that user number you mention, just over 390 million users, active

daily users, and that has barely moved over the past year, and the

fact they are not growing at all really is a big problem for Twitter

when you compare it to something like Facebook which has exploded

over the last few years with 1.6 billion users, and 300 million or so

does not see many at all because it is not. Thank you for that. Let's

highlight a company making money. It's a little known start-up based

in New York specialising in real In the past week shares

in Snap have surged 95% - but that's because traders thought

they were buying into the firm behind Snapchat,

which is called Snap Inc. Don't take your microphone off yet,

I am hoping to ask your question on this! How is this possible? Surely

investors know who they are buying? You would think so, wouldn't you?

LAUGHTER I think it just goes to show how

excited investors are for the people who make Snapchat. Some people are

getting ahead of themselves and investing in Snap Interactive,

although an impressive company in its own write nothing near the $20

billion evaluation Snapchat will eventually have when it opens. But I

am sure Snap Interactive are not complaining about their lucky break!

You can take off your microphone now, OK. They've live with us from

silicon valley. We have spoken about Twitter. Next...

The bosses of America's top airlines and airports met Donald Trump

Top of the agenda - the US air traffic control system.

He said, "I hear we're spending billions and billions of dollars,

it's a system that's totally out of whack."

You might need some help translating that one.

What did he mean by that? LAUGHTER

I think when it comes to the way the aviation system is run here in the

US, he does make a good point, that it is quite outdated, and when it

comes to air traffic control, they are slow to modernise. But what some

airline executives have been saying to Mr Trump in this meeting, the

best way to modernise is actually to privatise the air traffic control.

Right now it is being governed by the FAA, the Federal aviation

administration, usually the way it is done by most countries around the

world. A Government oversight committee that really runs the

traffic, but what some airline executives have been arguing with Mr

Trump, and it seems he has taken to that argument, that they should

actually outsource that an privatise it altogether. We know Mr Trump is

very keen on keeping business in the US, so if it were privatised with

that be privatised with American businesses prioritised? That is a

big question. You know, nobody really knows. This is the first

discussions about it. What has been said is that some of the structures

of this private company that would exist, it would be nonprofit in

nature, but what some of the executives were arguing, it would

just allow things to move a lot faster in terms of being able to

modernise and keep up with different technologies and different systems.

Thank you very much, Samira, good to speak to you.

A report now from Rajini Vaidyanathan in New Hampshire.

Rajini's there because a year ago today Donald Trump claimed victory

It was his first major step towards the White House.

Hillary Clinton ended up taking the state in the election -

but the President still has a lot of supporters there -

Just like the person he voted for, Keith is a businessman who works in

the hotel industry. I saw it all the way of... Owner of a small

construction company, he is a registered independents does not

vote along party lines. If he were a politician we would not have elected

him. I would not have voted for him. He connected with the people of New

Hampshire because of his spirit, his spirit of independent. Donald

Trump's dreams of becoming president were built on his first victory in

the Republican primary in this state. Now he is in office, Keith

has no complaints. Have I disagreed with anything so far? No. I think he

is doing exactly what they elected him to do. How many of you voted for

Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary? None of us. But by election

day all but one of these Republican women voted for Donald Trump. They

believe the president should be given a chance but there are

divisions over policy like his temporary travel ban. It is a 90 day

ban, it is like the demonstrators on the winning's what and everything

they are doing, they are protesting before anything happens. There was

not enough thought to the roll-out of that executive order and how it

would affect people. Sometimes he comes across as crass and I think

everyone of us you would admit to that, but like she said, give him a

chance. President Donald Trump owes a lot to the state. He scored his

first primary victory here, kicking off a winning streak and giving him

momentum. But it is also here he got his first taste of presidential

politics of the decade ago. He was thinking about the presidency. That

was in his mind. Mike Dunbar, woodworker from new started at Trump

campaign we back in 1987 to encourage the then 41-year-old to

run for the White House. He even persuaded Mr Trump to make a speech

in New Hampshire, where he ruled out a bid. It was Mr Trump's

antiestablishment stance that appealed to Mike then and still does

now. I think what cause me to vote for him both in the primary and the

election is that I had experience with him in 1987 and I find that he

did not change. He is the same guy. He waited for history to come around

for his moment. He has shown an amazing display of leadership. It

took me 30 years but I finally got what I wanted in 1987. And sordid

Donald Trump. He lost the state of New Hampshire by a narrow margin in

the General Election, but he won the big prize, in a journey that started

here, in more ways than one. New Hampshire, I want to thank you. We

love you. You started it. Remember, you started it. A minute left of

this half of Outside Source. I will quickly show you a report from a
