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