:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:09. > :00:12.Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom.
:00:13. > :00:14.Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have met at the White House -
:00:15. > :00:18.both have acknowledged that the two state solution may not be
:00:19. > :00:35.I thought for a while the two state looked like it might be the easier
:00:36. > :00:38.of the two, but honestly, if Israel and the Palestinians are happy, I'm
:00:39. > :00:42.happy with the one they like the best.
:00:43. > :00:49.The fall out from Michael Flynn's resignation as National Security
:00:50. > :00:52.The President has come to General Flynn's defence
:00:53. > :00:54.and launched a scathing attack on the media.
:00:55. > :00:56.Katty Kay will be with us to talk this through.
:00:57. > :00:59.In Malaysia, a woman's been arrested in connection with the killing
:01:00. > :01:03.We'll play a report from the scene of the murder.
:01:04. > :01:06.And in OS Sport - we're going to get into whether Usain Bolt has
:01:07. > :01:20.And we will speak to a competitor in a major downhill skateboarding event
:01:21. > :01:26.in Australia. Another extraordinary
:01:27. > :01:28.day in the short life Donald Trump started the day
:01:29. > :01:39.by attacking the media That's as more questions emerged
:01:40. > :01:50.about the circumstances around Michael Flynn's resignation
:01:51. > :01:53.as National Security advisor. The Democrats -
:01:54. > :01:59.and some Republicans - are calling for an independent
:02:00. > :02:01.inquiry into the Trump And Mr Trump's hosted
:02:02. > :02:10.a very good-natured visit by Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu -
:02:11. > :02:14.during which he ditched America's long-standing commitment
:02:15. > :02:19.to the two-state solution Lest any of us get used
:02:20. > :02:25.to the frantic pace. The BBC's North America editor
:02:26. > :02:52.has a reminder for us. Throughout the campaign and during
:02:53. > :02:57.the early days of Mr Trump's presidency, we've spoken a lot to
:02:58. > :03:03.Katty Kay. When you do get moments to pause and reflect, what are you
:03:04. > :03:08.making of it? When I get those moments I prefer to sleep, because
:03:09. > :03:13.there's not enough of that going on in Washington. It is extraordinary.
:03:14. > :03:17.What John was referring to is that this is an administration that seems
:03:18. > :03:22.to be entirely occupied with scandals and who is up and who is
:03:23. > :03:31.down. We have not had the new travel ban, which we were meant to get this
:03:32. > :03:33.week. We haven't had tax reform proposals or in infrastructure
:03:34. > :03:36.spending bill, all of those things that Donald Trump said he was going
:03:37. > :03:41.to do. The things that he promised he would do immediately when he got
:03:42. > :03:47.into office have been derailed by the problems of this administration.
:03:48. > :03:55.I spoke to a Democratic congressmen on -- today, and he said this is all
:03:56. > :04:00.raising questions of competence. There's a lot of issues we want to
:04:01. > :04:04.raise with you. First of all this story claiming that Trump campaign
:04:05. > :04:11.aides had frequent contacts with Russian intelligence. On Donald
:04:12. > :04:19.Trump 's Twitter feed, he says that the real scandal is that classified
:04:20. > :04:23.information is given out like candy. Is there an issue between Mr Trump
:04:24. > :04:27.and the intelligence agencies, and do we have to acknowledge that there
:04:28. > :04:33.are people out there that have it into him? One of the tweets he sent
:04:34. > :04:37.out this morning was directly attacking the FBI and the National
:04:38. > :04:40.Security Agency, which is another branch of the intelligence
:04:41. > :04:47.community. Donald Trump and Michael Flynn have made no bones about this.
:04:48. > :04:55.They have taken on the intelligence agencies before taking office and
:04:56. > :04:59.now, and if you take them on, it will come back to bite you. He
:05:00. > :05:04.doesn't have loyalty from those agencies and they are talking to
:05:05. > :05:10.reporters. It is a problem. If they start talking about sensitive issues
:05:11. > :05:15.like North Korea, it could be a national security problem. But the
:05:16. > :05:20.real story here is that Donald Trump's campaign team members, it is
:05:21. > :05:26.reported by the New York Times, had been in regular contact with Russian
:05:27. > :05:29.intelligence officials. Make no mistake, the story here is Russia
:05:30. > :05:37.and Donald Trump's relationship with Russia. Some questions from viewers.
:05:38. > :05:42.John says, it is hard to know what to make of all the tweets and the
:05:43. > :05:48.statements. Are they to appease supporters or is he out of his
:05:49. > :05:54.depth? Sum is to appease his supporters. People who voted for
:05:55. > :05:59.Donald Trump like his style, they like his tweets. They find their
:06:00. > :06:02.wrists and energy and an offensiveness, and they like that.
:06:03. > :06:08.He is taking on the establishment. They didn't send him to Washington
:06:09. > :06:13.to be nice. They sent him there to blow up the establishment,
:06:14. > :06:18.effectively, and that is what he is doing. The tweets are part of that.
:06:19. > :06:23.I have got used to waking up in the morning here in Washington wondering
:06:24. > :06:30.what he has been tweeting today. And this morning, as a succession of
:06:31. > :06:33.tweets attacking the media and the intelligence agencies. You can sense
:06:34. > :06:40.the growing frustration in the president. I would warn him to calm
:06:41. > :06:45.down a bit, if I were his doctor. And what has happened to the wall,
:06:46. > :06:50.jobs, and the immigration ban, we are being asked? And what has
:06:51. > :06:54.happened to the new travel restrictions. Where have we got to
:06:55. > :07:00.with all of that? Really good questions. The business of
:07:01. > :07:04.government seems to have been distracted or derailed by the
:07:05. > :07:09.process of managing the Michael Flynn fall out and these personnel
:07:10. > :07:15.issues. The White House needs to get back contract. It is a month into
:07:16. > :07:19.his administration. It can change, it can get better and more
:07:20. > :07:24.efficient, but it needs to do so soon, because it is losing a certain
:07:25. > :07:29.amount of credibility among Republicans who would also like to
:07:30. > :07:33.see the new travel ban, the infrastructure bill and the other
:07:34. > :07:36.things that Donald Trump has promised them. He will lose
:07:37. > :07:42.political capital the longer it takes him to get this administration
:07:43. > :07:45.functioning and normalised again. So far, that isn't happening, and
:07:46. > :07:58.partly because of Donald Trump's tweets and the things he says. Thank
:07:59. > :08:04.you, Katty Kay. And remember, Katty Kay and Christian Fraser presents
:08:05. > :08:07.the programme 100 Days, focusing on the early stages of Donald Trump's
:08:08. > :08:14.presidency and the effect on the world.
:08:15. > :08:16.One of Donald Trump's earliest pledges as President was to overturn
:08:17. > :08:19.many of the financial regulations put in place following
:08:20. > :08:21.The President has claimed the regulations are
:08:22. > :08:25.On Tuesday, President Trump signed legislation striking down a rule
:08:26. > :08:27.that requires oil and gas companies to disclose payments to the US
:08:28. > :08:36.or foreign governments for commercial development.
:08:37. > :08:45.Before we get into whether that is the right all wrong thing to do, can
:08:46. > :08:52.you explain to us what companies will be allowed to do that they
:08:53. > :08:57.couldn't previously, Michelle? Let's begin with the Dodd Frank act,
:08:58. > :09:02.introduced after the financial crisis, meant to stabilise the
:09:03. > :09:07.financial system is, after we saw a huge implosion here on Wall Street.
:09:08. > :09:10.Then there was something known as the extraction rule within that,
:09:11. > :09:15.something that didn't affect banks all Wall Street, but it did affect
:09:16. > :09:23.some of the week energy companies here in America, and essentially
:09:24. > :09:27.what it did was prevent them from making payments to governments in
:09:28. > :09:33.exchange for drilling rights, and not making it public. That is the
:09:34. > :09:39.key bit. The idea was transparency. Supporters of this clause claimed
:09:40. > :09:42.that it tried to ensure that the money was transferred, people knew
:09:43. > :09:50.where it was going, and it couldn't be pilfered for other uses. That is
:09:51. > :09:54.often known as the resource curse, in which developing countries, where
:09:55. > :10:00.they have oil, sometimes the benefits go to those at the top of
:10:01. > :10:06.society and don't benefit the people of that country. This was meant to
:10:07. > :10:14.address that. The oil companies have thought that all along and said it
:10:15. > :10:15.put them at a disadvantage. But Europe have this kind of thing in
:10:16. > :10:20.place. Michelle, thank you for that. One of the directives that may be
:10:21. > :10:22.overturned requires companies to disclose whether their products
:10:23. > :10:24.contain "conflict minerals" from parts of Africa
:10:25. > :10:26.affected by conflict. We know that competition for mineral
:10:27. > :10:29.resources has played a role in conflicts in places such
:10:30. > :10:36.as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Human Rights Watch said last week
:10:37. > :10:41.that: "suspending the rule would undermine
:10:42. > :10:45.efforts to eliminate conflict minerals
:10:46. > :10:47.from supply chains." Alex Duval Smith has
:10:48. > :11:00.more on the possible Conflict minerals are considered to
:11:01. > :11:06.be minerals such as tin and gold that are mined in areas where there
:11:07. > :11:11.is fighting going on, whether rebel groups are earning money from their
:11:12. > :11:15.sale, all human beings are suffering hardships and loss of life because
:11:16. > :11:21.of the fighting going on for the mining areas. Has the law worked?
:11:22. > :11:27.That is under debate. Opponents of the law say it has lead to poverty,
:11:28. > :11:31.to mining families taking their children out of school. They will
:11:32. > :11:36.say that groups have simply become more mobile. Rebels will move on oil
:11:37. > :11:41.more quickly and they have learned to cover their tracks. But human
:11:42. > :11:47.rights groups want the law to remain in place. They say it has put
:11:48. > :12:00.conflict minerals at the centre of course corporate America's
:12:01. > :12:10.attentions. Groups such as Apple and Intel see commercial advantage for
:12:11. > :12:18.not serving items containing conflict minerals.
:12:19. > :12:19.Let's take a breather from the Trump administration and talk about some
:12:20. > :12:22.sport for a while. There isn't much the US football
:12:23. > :12:24.star Carli Lloyd hasn't achieved. Fifa player of the year,
:12:25. > :12:27.world cup winner and a two And now she's joining
:12:28. > :12:31.Manchester City - and she'll play It's another challenge for me,
:12:32. > :12:36.I think that's the biggest thing, I'm always looking to improve my
:12:37. > :12:39.game, looking for the next To be able to come over
:12:40. > :12:44.here, train with some of the world's best players,
:12:45. > :12:49.be at the worlds best facility. Hopefully win an FA Cup, and,
:12:50. > :12:55.you know, when the spring series. There are so many goals
:12:56. > :13:11.I want to accomplish. all, I just want to enjoy this
:13:12. > :13:16.opportunity. It is unique. This is the time I'm able to do it, with no
:13:17. > :13:22.World Cup and no Olympics. I just want to take it all in, win
:13:23. > :13:27.everything and help this team. They are a fantastic team. I just want to
:13:28. > :13:30.come out and do everything possible. I wouldn't bet against her! She wins
:13:31. > :13:33.most of the things she's in! Here on Outside Source we're making
:13:34. > :13:38.a commitment to bring you coverage On Friday - the International
:13:39. > :13:41.Downhill Federation will hold its first event
:13:42. > :13:44.of the season in Australia. We're talking downhill
:13:45. > :13:48.skateboarding. As you can see, these competitors
:13:49. > :14:03.they're hitting high It looks pretty scary. Let's talk to
:14:04. > :14:10.the director and also committed to -- competitor with the downhill
:14:11. > :14:17.series. Give us a brief history of the sport. The sport is relatively
:14:18. > :14:30.new. We've been with the IDF for four years. But I started racing six
:14:31. > :14:35.years ago. The sport is, basically, we use gravity and we race each
:14:36. > :14:44.other. The bottom of the road or the hill is the winner. So you can reach
:14:45. > :14:49.speeds up to 100, 110 kilometres per hour, although, these days, the
:14:50. > :14:55.level of the sport is going higher and higher, so the roads we are
:14:56. > :15:03.racing are getting more challenging and it is sometimes faster. It looks
:15:04. > :15:08.very dangerous. It is, in a way. Many sports are bit dangerous. But
:15:09. > :15:15.you are not going to force yourself to go so fast unless you have the
:15:16. > :15:20.right equipment and the ability to slow down if you need to. The best
:15:21. > :15:27.way to learn through events like racing, it is a safe area where you
:15:28. > :15:33.know you will have protection, and you are going to have space for it.
:15:34. > :15:37.It is a reasonable presumption that most people watching it will not
:15:38. > :15:44.have done it. Let us know what it is like, at full speed, with three
:15:45. > :15:49.other competitors around you. When you are racing, you get a bit
:15:50. > :15:57.competitive. You use tactics on how you are going to win this race, so
:15:58. > :16:02.some tracks are very technical and you have to slide, like cars drift,
:16:03. > :16:11.we have to do the same thing through corners. And aiming for a fast line,
:16:12. > :16:16.for a fast exit. Drafting is also part of the sport. So in a race, you
:16:17. > :16:22.are thinking if you are going to be drafting or if you are getting
:16:23. > :16:26.draft. You are thinking of getting to the bottom first, without
:16:27. > :16:32.crashing or anything. Thank you for making time for us. Good luck on
:16:33. > :16:34.Friday. We will keep an eye out for that, and for downhill skateboarding
:16:35. > :16:37.more generally. Usain Bolt's last competition
:16:38. > :16:39.will be here in London at the World Athletics
:16:40. > :16:47.championships in August. QUAD He's always been
:16:48. > :16:59.and his sponsor has set up a week training with Borussia Dortmund.
:17:00. > :17:17.I'm going to get a chance to train at Borussia Dortmund, for a week,
:17:18. > :17:22.just to feel it out. I have had people suggest different teams, or
:17:23. > :17:27.suggest a way of getting into football, so we have been looking
:17:28. > :17:33.into those things. But at any level, I just want to see if I would be any
:17:34. > :17:40.good. I play football with my friends, and I think I am at a good
:17:41. > :17:47.level. If I put some work in... I am not going to say I will be the best
:17:48. > :17:57.footballer in the world, but I will be at, like, Wayne Rooney level! I
:17:58. > :18:02.have just had a look at the Champions League website. Bayern
:18:03. > :18:08.Munich five, Arsenal won. It looks like Arsenal will be going out at
:18:09. > :18:12.this stage, as they have done for several years. Remember, it is two
:18:13. > :18:14.legs, but Arsenal have a lot of work to do.
:18:15. > :18:17.In Malaysia, a woman's been arrested
:18:18. > :18:19.in connection with the killing of the north Korean's half brother.
:18:20. > :18:27.We've a report from the scene of the murder.
:18:28. > :18:29.They've sacrificed part of their pensions to save their jobs.
:18:30. > :18:33.Thousands of TATA steelworkers in the UK have agreed to move
:18:34. > :18:37.from a final salary pension to a less generous scheme in return
:18:38. > :18:40.for a one billion pound investment in the company
:18:41. > :18:46.Unions called it a tough decision but the "only viable way"
:18:47. > :18:53.From Port Talbot, here's our Wales Correspondent Sian Lloyd.
:18:54. > :18:57.You've got to play it safe now and again.
:18:58. > :19:00.Not taking any risks in this game but Nigel and Scott Boden say
:19:01. > :19:02.they are taking a chance on the future.
:19:03. > :19:09.The father and son are both steel workers at Tata's Port Talbot
:19:10. > :19:10.plant and voted to accept the company's proposals.
:19:11. > :19:14.Even though Nigel, who has put in 38 years, now thinks he will need
:19:15. > :19:16.to work longer before he can afford to retire.
:19:17. > :19:20.The ballot isn't so much about the pension itself.
:19:21. > :19:23.It's about the future investment, it's about the new pension fund.
:19:24. > :19:30.I think voting yes is saying we want a job.
:19:31. > :19:35.It gives us all a better chance to have a job for the future,
:19:36. > :19:43.It's expected that the company will now move swiftly to replace
:19:44. > :19:46.the old British steel pension with a proposed less generous
:19:47. > :19:49.scheme, and in return, provided the company continues
:19:50. > :19:54.to return a profit, Tata promises to invest ?1 billion
:19:55. > :20:01.To maintain the two blast furnaces at Port Talbot for at least five
:20:02. > :20:03.years, and will try to avoid compulsory redundancies
:20:04. > :20:06.Trade union representatives had somewhat reluctantly recommended
:20:07. > :20:09.that their members should accept this deal.
:20:10. > :20:12.I like to think this is a step in the right direction.
:20:13. > :20:14.I think the workforce understands that.
:20:15. > :20:20.It's been a painful process, a lot of scars need to heal
:20:21. > :20:23.and a lot of bridges need to be built going forward.
:20:24. > :20:26.It's been a turbulent year for workers here
:20:27. > :20:35.The uncertainty during that time has led to a lack of trust.
:20:36. > :20:41.Workers say they are making sacrifices for the future
:20:42. > :20:44.Their new pension arrangements will need to be approved
:20:45. > :20:48.Today's ballot result is not the end of the line.
:20:49. > :20:50.But there's now an expectation from steelworkers that Tata must
:20:51. > :21:11.This is Outside Source, live from the BBC newsroom.
:21:12. > :21:15.Israel's Prime Minister is meeting Donald Trump at the White House -
:21:16. > :21:19.at a joint press conference the President made it clear
:21:20. > :21:36.that the two-state solution may not be the only route to peace.
:21:37. > :21:39.North Korea has asked Malaysia to hand over the body of the half
:21:40. > :21:43.Kim Jong-nam died at Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday -
:21:44. > :21:48.Malaysian police have arrested this woman in connection with his death.
:21:49. > :22:08.Is this one of the female assassins who carried out a audacious or tack
:22:09. > :22:13.in Kuala Lumpur airport. Kim Jong-nam, the estranged brother of
:22:14. > :22:23.North Korea's elusive leader, Kim Jong-un earned, but he fell out of
:22:24. > :22:29.favour and has been living in exile ever since. How he may have died in
:22:30. > :22:34.Kuala Lumpur airport is an clear. The facts are murky. There are a
:22:35. > :22:41.number of varying accounts of what happened. Here's what we do know.
:22:42. > :22:47.Between the hours of 9am and 10am on Monday, a man believed to be Kim
:22:48. > :22:52.Jong-nam was attacked in this crowded, busy airport. Police say he
:22:53. > :22:56.was accosted by at least one woman who covered his face with a cloth
:22:57. > :23:00.filled with some sort of burning chemical. After that, he is thought
:23:01. > :23:05.to have walked over to that information counter to ask for help.
:23:06. > :23:09.He was then taken to a medical clinic. The focus of the
:23:10. > :23:20.investigation will move to Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where the body of
:23:21. > :23:26.Kim Jong-nam is believed to be. The postmortem will not be carried out
:23:27. > :23:28.until the body is released. Let's finish where we started.
:23:29. > :23:31.Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu today at the White House.
:23:32. > :23:33.They gave a press conference - just before we go, here
:23:34. > :23:46.As far as settlements, I would like to see you hold back on settlement a
:23:47. > :23:52.bit. I welcome your forthright call to ensure that Israel is treated
:23:53. > :23:56.fairly, and that the slander and boycotts are resisted mightily by
:23:57. > :23:57.the power of the United States of America.
:23:58. > :24:00.I'm looking at two states and one state and I like the one both
:24:01. > :24:04.I'm very happy with the one both parties like.
:24:05. > :24:20.I believe that the great opportunity for peace comes from a regional
:24:21. > :24:27.approach, from involving our new following, our partners. As with any
:24:28. > :24:33.successful negotiation, both sides will have to make compromise. You
:24:34. > :24:37.know that, right? The two pre-requisitions of peace,
:24:38. > :24:42.recognition of the Jewish state and Israel's security needs west of the
