:00:13. > :00:16.about Russian efforts to influence the US elections as early
:00:17. > :00:23.It was revealed in a series of messages he posted online
:00:24. > :00:26.from last year showing he was eager to accept incriminating information
:00:27. > :00:32.about Hillary Clinton promised by a Russian source.
:00:33. > :00:35.In a White House statement Donald Trump has said his son
:00:36. > :00:40.is a high quality person, and he applauded his transparency.
:00:41. > :00:44.A day after the Iraqi Prime Minister proclaimed Mosul liberated,
:00:45. > :00:51.BBC journalists on the ground find that fighting is still ongoing.
:00:52. > :00:56.The Sound of music is mixing with the sounds of bombing coming from
:00:57. > :01:00.the western side, where there are still pockets held by the extremists
:01:01. > :01:02.in the old city. More than 200 million women
:01:03. > :01:04.worldwide who want access to family planning services still don't have
:01:05. > :01:07.it, we'll be finding out what's And if you want to get in touch
:01:08. > :01:27.#BBCOS is the place to go. Donald Trump Junior has released
:01:28. > :01:32.emails confirming that he was eager to accept what he was told
:01:33. > :01:35.was damaging information about Hillary Clinton provided
:01:36. > :01:38.by the Russian state, This is all relating to a meeting
:01:39. > :01:45.he had with a Russian lawyer who he thought had compromising
:01:46. > :01:47.material about his father's opponent Here are the emails, you can find
:01:48. > :01:55.them on his Twitter account, And to this Donald Trump Jnr
:01:56. > :02:16.replied: Donald Trump Jnr says he released
:02:17. > :02:19.them in the name of transparency but it might also have had something
:02:20. > :02:22.to do with the fact that @nytimes the New York Times was just
:02:23. > :02:24.about to publish it. And we've just had this reaction
:02:25. > :02:27.from the White House. Trump says his son,
:02:28. > :02:28.Donald Trump Junior, is a high quality person
:02:29. > :02:32.and applauds his transparency. These emails were sent
:02:33. > :02:35.between Donald Trump Jnr and a publicist, Rob Goldstone,
:02:36. > :02:38.who set up a meeting with this Rob Goldstone referred to her
:02:39. > :02:46.as a Russian government attorney. Here she is speaking
:02:47. > :02:59.to NBC earlier today. Have you ever worked for the Russian
:03:00. > :03:07.government? To have connections to the Russian government? TRANSLATION:
:03:08. > :03:13.No. They had the impression, it appears that they were going to be
:03:14. > :03:16.told some information that you had about the D How did they get that
:03:17. > :03:25.impression? TRANSLATION: It's possible they were looking for such
:03:26. > :03:28.information and wanted it so badly. We're looking at this from
:03:29. > :03:33.Washington, and what we have here and is at the smoking gun so many
:03:34. > :03:38.are looking for? It's hard to tell what a smoking gun is these days.
:03:39. > :03:41.Every time we think we've got some major revelation, Donald Trump seems
:03:42. > :03:46.to find a way of surviving at. This is very big and points to what
:03:47. > :03:50.Donald Trump Jnr was thinking when he went to this meeting, and he
:03:51. > :03:54.thought he was meeting with someone who was a Russian government lawyer,
:03:55. > :04:05.that is the way it had been presented, a Natalia Veselnitskaya
:04:06. > :04:08.denies that. He was posted get information that was damaging to
:04:09. > :04:11.hear Clinton. There is a possibility that Rob Goldstone went into this
:04:12. > :04:15.trying to blow some smoke and try to make this meeting seem more
:04:16. > :04:23.important than it was, that there really wasn't an effort to reach out
:04:24. > :04:27.to the Trump campaign. That could be beside the point because it's still
:04:28. > :04:30.the fact that Donald Trump Jnr and high-level members of the Trump
:04:31. > :04:34.campaign sat down in meetings where they discussed Hillary Clinton and
:04:35. > :04:41.possibly damaging information about her in the heat of the presidential
:04:42. > :04:47.campaign with a Russian national. Where does this fit in into all the
:04:48. > :04:51.other investigations about possible rings to the Russian government?
:04:52. > :04:55.It's only a matter of time before Donald Trump Jnr is called before
:04:56. > :05:00.Congress, the house intelligence committee want to see if this really
:05:01. > :05:06.is something that draws ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian
:05:07. > :05:08.government itself. Then you have the independent counsel investigation,
:05:09. > :05:14.who have been very tight-lipped so far but I think they're going to be
:05:15. > :05:18.very interested in these e-mails, and in Donald Trump Jnr because they
:05:19. > :05:21.were looking into possible ties between the Trump campaign and the
:05:22. > :05:25.Russian government. I think those are the ones that will be
:05:26. > :05:28.particularly interesting but I think it'll be a while before we hear the
:05:29. > :05:35.results of those investigations. Anthony, thank you very much. Let's
:05:36. > :05:40.talk to Richard Painter, a White House ethics lawyer under President
:05:41. > :05:48.George W Bush. Welcome. What do you make of what we've seen and heard?
:05:49. > :05:54.Well, this is very troubling. It is yet more evidence that the Trump
:05:55. > :05:58.campaign was willing to work with the Russian agents to obtain
:05:59. > :06:05.damaging information on Hillary Clinton, even though there are laws
:06:06. > :06:11.that prevent and prohibit foreign nationals from contributing anything
:06:12. > :06:16.to American political campaigns. And also laws against computer hacking,
:06:17. > :06:20.and we know how the Russians get their information because they've
:06:21. > :06:25.been doing it for a considerable period of time. And yet everyone in
:06:26. > :06:31.the Trump administration denies contacts with the Russians, denies
:06:32. > :06:35.collaboration with the Russians and one by one we are seeing these
:06:36. > :06:39.stories start to fall apart. Donald Trump Jnr had several different
:06:40. > :06:44.explanations for what happened, each one shot down by additional facts.
:06:45. > :06:52.We are very concerned about this in the United States because our
:06:53. > :06:54.elections are supposed to be for the American people without foreign
:06:55. > :06:59.interference and someone who works with a foreign government in order
:07:00. > :07:03.to win an election here is really viewed as having betrayed their
:07:04. > :07:10.country. It is treason, whether it is prosecuted under a treason
:07:11. > :07:14.statutes or another statute. Just to be clear, sorry to interrupt you,
:07:15. > :07:21.you're saying this is treason? It is. To undermine your own government
:07:22. > :07:25.to help accomplish the objectives of a foreign adverse rave. It is well
:07:26. > :07:33.known the Russian government wanted this election to go against Hillary
:07:34. > :07:37.Clinton in favour of Donald Trump. No American should be assisting a
:07:38. > :07:41.foreign government with that type of work inside the United States. They
:07:42. > :07:45.were conducting espionage inside the United States, they were engaging
:07:46. > :07:49.computer hacking and other crimes and when that type of call comes in
:07:50. > :07:54.from a foreign country, particularly an adverse research is Russia, you
:07:55. > :07:59.call the FBI. That is what he should have done, call the FBI. Let's just
:08:00. > :08:03.say these are people inexperienced in politics, new to it presidential
:08:04. > :08:08.campaign, they don't know the protocols, this is Donald Trump Jr
:08:09. > :08:13.simply doing what he thinks all campaigns do, trying to get
:08:14. > :08:17.opposition, and he's well killing them thinking they are going to be
:08:18. > :08:21.helpful but the campaign. What is wrong with that? Well, Donald Trump
:08:22. > :08:26.Jnr and Jared Kuschner and Paul Manafort, the top three people are
:08:27. > :08:30.all going to this meeting! I can't believe that nothing came out of the
:08:31. > :08:35.meeting. That doesn't make any sense. Why would all three of them
:08:36. > :08:39.go to this meeting? Were not talking about inexperienced people here.
:08:40. > :08:42.Paul Manafort had plenty of experience, they had good lawyers
:08:43. > :08:46.working for the campaign, they wanted to meet with the Russians in
:08:47. > :08:50.order to obtain damaging information about Hillary Clinton and they were
:08:51. > :08:55.willing to do anything to win. That includes betraying our country into
:08:56. > :08:59.the hands of a foreign power which was trying to determine the outcome
:09:00. > :09:03.of our elections. Once again, our elections our our business to be
:09:04. > :09:06.determined by the American people, which has been ever since the
:09:07. > :09:12.American Revolution and that is what our constitution sets forth, and
:09:13. > :09:16.foreign countries are supposed to stay out and there are specific
:09:17. > :09:20.criminal statutes what they did. Ledley should be assisting them with
:09:21. > :09:24.their conduct in the United States. One brief question, where do you
:09:25. > :09:30.think this leaves the investigations going on currently? We have the
:09:31. > :09:34.criminal investigation by Robert Mueller, the special counsel and we
:09:35. > :09:38.also have investigations in Congress which are investigations that need
:09:39. > :09:43.to be stepped up because we need to make sure that everyone in the White
:09:44. > :09:48.House, everyone currently serving in this administration has been loyal
:09:49. > :09:52.to the United States and is not somehow beholden to Russia because
:09:53. > :09:57.Russia, of course, has what of additional evidence there is of
:09:58. > :10:01.collaboration. They may well have the heads of some people of this
:10:02. > :10:05.government and read to find out the facts as soon as possible. We could
:10:06. > :10:09.have a government chosen by the American people that serves the
:10:10. > :10:13.interests of the American people and has a meaningful role in the global
:10:14. > :10:17.community. Thank you very much for your time and we will be speaking in
:10:18. > :10:19.a short while to support of Donald Trump, a lawyer which says this is a
:10:20. > :10:32.storm in a teacup. This mansion is a Russian diplomatic
:10:33. > :10:37.compound seized by President Obama last year and now Russia says it is
:10:38. > :10:41.time to give it back. TRANSLATION: The situation is outrageous and I
:10:42. > :10:45.find it is shameful for such a great country as the United States, an
:10:46. > :10:51.advocate for international law, to leave this situation hanging in
:10:52. > :10:56.midair. We are aware of the Russia phobic feelings in Congress and
:10:57. > :10:59.understand the decision to expel our diplomat and confiscate our property
:11:00. > :11:01.was taken by the bomb administration.
:11:02. > :11:03.In the final weeks of the Obama administration the US took
:11:04. > :11:06.the diplomatic property and expelled Russian diplomats as retaliation
:11:07. > :11:09.for alleged Russian interference in the US election.
:11:10. > :11:12.Sergei Lavrov also hinted at Russian retaliation,
:11:13. > :11:15.but all this leaves President Trump with few easy options,
:11:16. > :11:23.as Olga Ivshina from the BBC's Russian service explained for me.
:11:24. > :11:29.Oh, definitely he is in a tricky position because he claimed a number
:11:30. > :11:38.of times he wants to re-establish relations with Russia in this cold
:11:39. > :11:44.period. But now if he gives Russians back their diplomatic premises, then
:11:45. > :11:48.he will be criticised for his actions. Specially bearing in mind
:11:49. > :11:52.today's news. He will be criticised for having special relations with
:11:53. > :11:58.the Russians for depending on them, and so on. If he doesn't do it, then
:11:59. > :12:05.it will be very hard to renew dialogue with Mr Putin in a positive
:12:06. > :12:08.tone. When President Obama took this action at the end of his
:12:09. > :12:14.administration, what was he basing his act on? What evidence do they
:12:15. > :12:18.have? He said his intelligence community have provided him
:12:19. > :12:22.sufficient evidence of alleged Russian interference into US
:12:23. > :12:26.elections, so there was this open source report and also there was a
:12:27. > :12:32.classified report into intelligence where they listed several grounds on
:12:33. > :12:37.which they based their findings. And Russia to this day is said where is
:12:38. > :12:42.the evidence that we interviewed in the US election? Obviously, Russians
:12:43. > :12:47.keep denying it. They say it is a witchhunt and that American
:12:48. > :12:53.politicians have their internal struggle, which they are trying to
:12:54. > :13:00.solve by pointing attention to what they call the Russian problem.
:13:01. > :13:04.Russian argument have changed over time. At first they said there was
:13:05. > :13:08.noted Fearon 's. And they say of course the ambassador was meeting
:13:09. > :13:13.politicians because it's his job and also Mr Putin noted that of course
:13:14. > :13:17.we have no state funded hackers but some hackers have pay trotter
:13:18. > :13:21.promoted and they may interfere and they may try to threaten someone
:13:22. > :13:27.they perceive as enemies. Also he gave a hint talking to one of the US
:13:28. > :13:30.journalists, he said have you seen those classified reports? I've read
:13:31. > :13:35.them and there's nothing sufficient in them. Which is quite stunning.
:13:36. > :13:37.Stay with us on outside source, still to come.

:14:09. > :14:23.Contaminated blood scandals of the 70s and 80s was an appalling tragedy
:14:24. > :14:25.and should never have happened. Thousands of patients expected the
:14:26. > :14:31.world-class care from the NHS that it is famous for but they were
:14:32. > :14:38.failed. At least 2400 people died and thousands more were exposed to
:14:39. > :14:42.hepatitis C and HIV. Often with life changing consequences. The victims
:14:43. > :14:46.and their families have suffered pain and hardship and they deserve
:14:47. > :14:51.answers. And the inquiry that I've announced today will give them those
:14:52. > :14:53.answers so they will know why this happened, how it happened, this was
:14:54. > :15:01.an appalling tragedy and it should never have happened.
