Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
The White House says that Donald Trump's National Security | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Adviser Michael Flynn discussed nothing illegal in his contacts | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
with the Russian ambassador, but resigned over | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
There was not a legal issue but a trust issue. | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
Now, the Trump administrations ties to Russia are once | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
We're also looking at Benjamin Netanyahu. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Israel's leader meets with Donald Trump on Wednesday. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
So, what's on the agenda, and how could it shape | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Lance Armstrong is being hit by $100 million lawsuit. | :00:45. | :01:13. | |
Donald Trump is not happy with the media coverage of the resignation of | :01:14. | :01:28. | |
Michael Flynn. On twitter, he says: Leaks are one story but not the only | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
one. Michael Flynn's resignation is centre stage at the moment in the US | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
media. He had to go because of a conversation with the Russian | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
ambassador before the end of the Obama administration, and the | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
allegation is that sanctions against Russia were discussed. We have this | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
report. Day 25 in the first casualty | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
of a Trump White House scandal. Michael Flynn, a retired | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
US Army three star general is no stranger | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
to controversy. In 2014, President Obama | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
fired him because of his Flynn said it is rational | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
for Americans to fear Muslims and called the Islamic | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
world and epic failure. Before the election, | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
the general made his views Radical Islamism is like | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
communism or Nazism. We are facing it right | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
now, it is for real and we have seen it | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
expand around the globe. He was one of the first and only | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
senior national security Former director of the | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
defence intelligence At the Republican | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
national convention, red-blooded speeches, | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
criticising Hillary Clinton. If I did a tenth of what she did, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
I would be in jail He hosted conspiracy theories | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
on social media and compared Clinton to the Al-Qaeda militants | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what finally pushed him | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
out was his too cosy General Flynn lied about his | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
pre-inauguration discussions with And then he put the vice | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
president in the awkward position of also lying | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
on national television. Never a great way | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
to protect your job. The story of Michael Flynn | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
suggests confusion Over the weekend, | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
the president said he knew His top policy adviser | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
declined to say the boss still backed Flynn and then hours | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
before he was kicked out, trump counsellor Kellyanne | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Conway said this... He does it enjoyed a full | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
confidence of this President's Mac this is a story of national | :03:48. | :04:04. | |
security, this President's curious relationship with Russia and what it | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
means for America. Well, it's been interesting to note | :04:07. | :04:06. | |
the reaction to the story in Russia. The Kremlin's spokesperson had | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
previously denied that TRANSLATION: We don't want to | :04:10. | :04:31. | |
comment on this in any way. These are internal matters of the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Americans. These are internal matters of President Trump's | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Administration. This is not our concern. Regarding this matter, we | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
have commented on this several times, answering your question come | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
and have nothing to add at the moment. | :04:47. | :04:47. | |
That was mild compared to some Russian politicians. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Alexei Pushkov, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee - | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
@Alexey-Pushkov "the target is not Flynn, it is relations with Russia." | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
And this from another MP on his facebook page. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
He says: "Russophobia might have infected the new administration." | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
Here's Olga Ivshina from BBC Russian. | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
It's interesting to see that, you know, the Foreign Ministry, for | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
example, they are not commenting on what is happening. The usual media | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
figures are commenting. MPs and them in the upper chamber of the Russian | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
parliament, they are usual. The people who do foreign policy at the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
moment are keeping quiet. That may be a hint that the Moscow | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
administration is trying to figure out what is going on, because there | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
are conflicting messages coming from the Trump Administration, so they | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
are reading the signs and waiting for new signs to come. Did they see | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
Mr Flynn as a useful bridge into the Trump Administration? We don't know, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
but it seems he was an important bridge because he has been appearing | :06:10. | :06:21. | |
on RTE for a while -- RT for a while. It feels as though it is an | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
important thing for Moscow, and I think they wish they had such a man | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
who could connect them. On the other hand, union now that's right you | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
know, they are waiting for a sign from the Trump Administration. There | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
is a lot of uncertainty, and Putin is trying to calculate the outcomes. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
He has some trump cards and he is waiting for Trump to do his bit. | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
Lance Armstrong has lost a bid to block a $100 million | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
lawsuit filed against him by the US government. | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Let's bring in the BBC's Tim Hague. Why are they going after him? Good | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
evening. This just began over format years ago when Armstrong was | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
stripped of his Tour de France titles and was banned from competing | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
for life. When he can -- confessed to doping, six of those seven yellow | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
jerseys was sponsored by the US Postal Service. Armstrong ran into | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
trouble because the US Postal Service is a public body, and | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
because he admitted to cheating, they are obliged to try to recover | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
some of the many millions they spent on sponsorship. Armstrong has fought | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
for years to keep this out of the courts, but what happened today is a | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
federal judge refused his attempts to block it, so the $100 million | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
lawsuit will now go to trial. Where does Floyd Landis fit into this, | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
another man who was stripped of a Tour de France title for cheating? | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
He is going after Lance Armstrong as well, right? He denied for years | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
that he doped, and then finally admitted it. Because he blew the | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
whistle on Armstrong, he can possibly benefit by a certain | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
percentage of this lawsuit, between 15 and 25% of a $100 million | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
lawsuit, do the maths, could be a very nice income indeed. And give us | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
an update on the Champions League. You would think it is | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
run-of-the-mill. Tit games -- two games. 4-0 between Paris N'Djamena | :08:54. | :09:09. | |
and Barcelona. -- Paris St Germain. You'd have to say that the five-time | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
winners need to look out. If any team can come back from 4-0, you | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
would suspect it would be Barcelona at home. Borussia Dortmund were | :09:20. | :09:31. | |
beaten by Benfica. That is quite something, Barcelona losing 4-0 to | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
PSG. You can follow that on the sport page. | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
If you watched Wimbledon last year, you may remember a British guy | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
called Marcus Willis playing Roger Federer. | :09:45. | :09:45. | |
At the time Willis was ranked 772 in the world. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Well, he's up to 445, but it's still a tough slog at that level. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
It's not grand on the outside, unlike Wimbledon, there are no | :09:52. | :10:10. | |
queues to get in, just a polite notice to say that spectators are | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
welcome. The shrews beat club hosted a star Wimbledon 2016 today. Marcus | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
Willis was today's main attraction, and he drew a small crowd. It was a | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
big story, and I have got a lot of support, which is awesome. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Ultimately, I have to go out there and win tennis matches. I want to | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
make Wimbledon more frequent, not just a one-off. At Wimbledon last | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
year, ranked 772 in the world, Willis created headlines by coming | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
through qualifying to play Roger Federer on Centre Court. | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
COMMENTATOR: Yes! His world ranking is now 445 but he wants to be higher | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
still. His wife Jenny was watching on. They are expecting a baby | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
daughter in four weeks. That spurs me on. Through the year, I will make | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
it happen. I have a lot of belief in myself. My wife is very supportive, | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
I have great people supporting me. In that sense, I am happy. I have | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
got a reason to succeed now. At this level of tennis, every pound of | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
prize is hard earned. -- prize-money. The total prize money | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
this week is $15,000, which means the winner only gets ?1600. It is | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
tough to make a living. 26-year-old Willis was all was in charge of | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
today's match, winning in straight sets up this -- straight sets. Put | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
this was an Wimbledon but a small step in the right direction. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
A fight between the biggest name in Mixed Martial Arts, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Conor McGregor, and the in-theory retired Floyd Mayweather continues | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
According to the Irish Sun, the camps have agreed terms. | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
This would be boxing, by the way - Mayweather is not going | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
All sorts of hurdles - McGregor being contracted | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
McGregor having never had a pro boxing bout. | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
Australian cricketer Adam Voges has retired from Test Cricket. | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
He's not one of cricket's big names, but this is worthy of a mention. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
He'll retire after over 30 Tests, and finishes with | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
That's the second highest of any Test player. | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
Top of that list - out of sight and over the horizon - | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
More sport on the BBC sport app. Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to | :13:05. | :13:30. | |
Washington on Wednesday. We will look at what is on the agenda. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
The father of a British soldier killed in Iraq in 2007 has | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
criticised proposals by the Government to scrap the legal | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
duty of care to service personnel in combat. | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
How old was he when he first after playing the drums? About nine or | :13:44. | :13:55. | |
ten. In 20 put-mac 2007,... : Fought a six-year legal | :13:56. | :14:14. | |
battle against the Ministry of Defence, eventually winning the | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
right at the Supreme Court to bring an action against the Government | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
under human rights law. The MoD's new proposals cover battle and the | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
preparations for it and include stopping legal claims for negligence | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
against the MoD in the courts, a no-fault compensation scheme for | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
forces personnel. Assessors to decide the value of injuries and | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
loss. Nobody disputed is a really good idea for service personnel | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
injured in the course of combat and the families of those who have been | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
killed to be spared long and frustratingly legal battles through | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
the courts, but there are real concerns about the Ministry of | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Defence scrapping the duty of care that it owes to soldiers. Fire | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Brigade, the police, the Ambulance Service - they'll have to go out | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
with equipment that works, and the right equipment. The same should be | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
the case for a soldier. The lawyers worry that bypassing the courts | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
creates unfairness. You have suffered injury, you think that the | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
MoD is at fault, and yet you are asked to rely upon the MoD to assess | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
the compensation that it should pay you for the damage it has caused. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
That's not right. But the MoD and Defence Secretary remain convinced | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
of the need for change. We are consulting on a way of getting them | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
faster and better compensation so that if the ministry has done | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
something wrong with a piece of equipment, they don't have to spend | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
years suing us through the courts. The MoD's consultation on its | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
proposals ends in just over a week. Colin Redpath hopes that for the | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
injured and families of the fallen, the new system ensures maximum | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
safety and fairness. Clive Coleman, BBC News. | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
The White House says that Donald Trump's National Security Adviser, | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Michael Flynn, discussed nothing illegal in his contacts | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
with the Russian ambassador but resigned over | :16:25. | :16:25. | |
That is related to his description of those conversations to vice | :16:26. | :16:38. | |
president Mike Pence. This is Venezuela's Vice President, | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Tareck El Aissami. The US thinks he's | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
an international drug trafficker This chart on the US Treasury | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
website outlines companies and assets that he owns | :16:50. | :16:59. | |
and which have been frozen It also highlights this man - | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
Samark Lopez - a wealthy businessman and associate, | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
who's accused of Mr Lopez' website says: | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
"The listing provides no factual evidence or legal justification | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
as to why Samark Lopez should be "The listing appears to be | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
politically motivated." No comment so far from | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
the Vice President. Earlier, I spoke with | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
the BBC's Yolanda Valery. There had been a number of | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
high-ranking officials named in a number of different investigations. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
Tareck El Aissami came up in 2011, when drug dealers, so he has been | :17:48. | :18:02. | |
convicted for drug dealing. It is alleged that a large amount of money | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
was paid to Tareck El Aissami for allowing the passing of drugs | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
through the country, so it is not the first time his name has come up. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
The Government denies he is involved in wrongdoing. How powerful is he in | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
Venezuela? He has been named as the successor of Nicolas Majuro. -- | :18:20. | :18:34. | |
Nicholas Maduro. He is likely to be the new face, Tareck El Aissami. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
Will this announcement that he will be sanctioned have a political | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
impact inside Venezuela? It is another episode where the Government | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
is going to be saying that it is the United States trying to do as wrong, | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
trying to bring back the revolution -- bring down the revolution. | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
Normally when we talk, we talk about the economic pressures on | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Venezuelan. Are they easing at all? Not really. Even if oil prices go | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
up, analysts are saying there is very little that can contribute to | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
an improvement of the situation in the country, because it is so bad | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
and so structural that it is really hard to see a way out of it. | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
The last time these two men met, Donald Trump was still | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
This was taken in New York in September. | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
On Wednesday, the two men meet again. | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, | :19:39. | :19:39. | |
@netanyahu: "Flying now to DC to meet | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
The alliance between the US and Israel has always been strong | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Here's Barbara Plett-Usher on what we should expect. | :19:47. | :20:06. | |
Here are the four priorities. This is a chance to reset American- | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
Israeli relations at the top. Obama did not get on well with Netanyahu, | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
but now: He has always been strong and I admire him. Donald Trump has | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
been declaring himself as pro-Israel, so prepare for mutual | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
admiration. I want to speak to Donald Trump about the Iranians | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
regime. Both leaders are fierce critics of Obama's deal to cart | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
around's nuclear programme. It is a very bad deal. Yaw it is the worst | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
deal I have ever seen negotiated. Netanyahu wants to scrap the | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
agreement, but Trump is likely to take an overall hardened line. Then | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
there is the battle against so-called Islamic State. Trump has | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
vowed to crush the group in Syria. Benjamin Netanyahu is all for that | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
but does not want any of this to spill over Israel's shared border | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
with Syria, plus Israel may want help to foster a covert cooperation | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
with some Arab countries on counterterrorism and a shared desire | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
to counter Iran. Finally, the hot ticket question: Trump's policy of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
appeasement the Palestinians. He wants to know Benjamin Netanyahu's | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
plan. He is still forming his own, and it seems to stray from bedrock | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
US positions, which are: Support for a Palestinian state and opposition | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
to settlements built on Israeli-occupied lands. Trump has | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
been cautiously running back. We don't believe that the existence of | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
current settlements is an impediment to please, but the expansion of | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
existing settlements beyond Borders will not be helpful moving forward. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
Soap Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a better read on Trump's decisions. | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Campaign promises are one thing, complicated realities are another, | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
especially of the president is a businessman who holds a hope of | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
having a peace deal. Disney has cut ties with the highest | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
paid of all Youtubers. Felix Shellberg - or PewDiePie, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
as everyone knows him - is accused of including Nazi references | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
and anti-Semitic imagery. He says he's not anti-Semitic, | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
and the images were a joke. Mr Shellberg rose to fame | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
playing games on YouTube. With more than 53 million | :22:28. | :22:42. | |
subscribers he's the world's highest paid YouTuber, | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
reportedly earning ?12 million Recently, his videos have been | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
extremely controversial. Containing Nazi references | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
