:02:43. > :02:46.right to ask for his resignation and I believe it is the right thing to

:02:53. > :02:56.the former President Barack Obama to impose sanctions over Russia over
:02:57. > :03:00.its interference in the election. On the 29th of December, Michael Flynn
:03:01. > :03:05.speaks to the Russian ambassador in a series of calls. On the 15th of
:03:06. > :03:10.January Mike Pence denies sanctions were discussed. What I can confirm
:03:11. > :03:13.having spoken to him about it, is that those conversations which
:03:14. > :03:18.happened to occur around the time that the national states -- United
:03:19. > :03:24.States took action to dispel diplomats have nothing whatsoever to
:03:25. > :03:27.do with those sanctions. But in late January the former acting Attorney

:03:32. > :03:37.Flynn's account. No action was taken. On the 9th of February, the
:03:38. > :03:40.Washington Post revealed Flynn did discuss sanctions and then the
:03:41. > :03:45.pressure group. Today, the White House was trying to draw a line
:03:46. > :03:49.under the affair. In the end, it was misleading the vice president that
:03:50. > :03:53.made the situation and sustainable. Which the White House knew about
:03:54. > :03:57.last month and yet you went on the air and said General Flynn had the

:04:38. > :04:42.that's right, not corrupt! But now it is Michael Flynn who, on a
:04:43. > :04:46.question of trust, has been found wanting, and finds himself very much
:04:47. > :04:48.alone. Jon Sopel, BBC News, Washington.
:04:49. > :04:57.In your report you said the White House is trying to draw a line under
:04:58. > :05:02.this whole affair, will they manage that? I doubt it, George. I think
:05:03. > :05:06.they are trying to isolate it and say it was purely a question that
:05:07. > :05:10.might Flynn had misled the vice president. But that is not quite it.
:05:11. > :05:18.What happened was the problem started when it got made public. It
:05:19. > :05:20.is not just the misleading, it is the misleading coming into the
:05:21. > :05:23.public domain. There is the whole series of questions, who knew what
:05:24. > :05:27.and where? What did the president know about the calls which took
:05:28. > :05:31.place to the Ambassador? What about the advice the acting Attorney
:05:32. > :05:35.General gave to the White House counsel? Those will fade away I
:05:36. > :05:39.suspect in time. There is a much bigger question than all of this and
:05:40. > :05:44.it all centres on what is the trump relationship with Putin's Russia. If
:05:45. > :05:45.you think of all the people Donald Trump has insulted on Twitter,
:05:46. > :06:02.freely, the one person he will not have a word said against is
:06:03. > :06:03.Vladimir Putin, and that question is a big one and is here to stay. Thank

:06:06. > :06:08.in the value of the pound have pushed inflation to its highest

:06:11. > :06:13.by the Consumer Price Index - As our economics correspondent,
:06:14. > :06:16.Andy Verity reports - the cost of living is likely to rise
:06:17. > :06:19.further as companies pass Prices may be up, but it's not
:06:20. > :06:23.yet the consumer who's being squeezed hardest,
:06:24. > :06:25.it's the company that sells you the goods and, even more so,
:06:26. > :06:28.the companies that produce them. This East London brewery has
:06:29. > :06:30.boosted prices by 5%, but it's costs have risen
:06:31. > :06:32.twice as fast. We've got auto enrolment for

:07:02. > :07:05.yet passing on the much higher cost of raw materials,
:07:06. > :07:11.up by more than a fifth. Well, I'd remind you that
:07:12. > :07:16.the inflation figure announced this morning, 1.8%,

:07:18. > :07:22.Monetary Policy Committee is seeking to manage inflation,
:07:23. > :07:26.to maintain itself at or around 2%. So when inflation is at this level,
:07:27. > :07:31.the economy should be working well. It's worth remembering,
:07:32. > :07:33.we've been through one of the tamest periods for inflation
:07:34. > :07:36.since the 1960s, the price of food overall is down
:07:37. > :07:39.2% on two years ago. If you take vegetables,
:07:40. > :07:43.like potatoes, down by 4%. The key question is -
:07:44. > :07:47.with petrol prices rising by 17%, when will these prices
:07:48. > :07:51.start to go up again? So far, retailers are shrugging off
:07:52. > :07:55.higher transport costs and they're still selling us goods they bought
:07:56. > :07:57.last year When that stock runs out, they'll be
:07:58. > :08:03.faced with an unpalatable choice - absorb the higher cost

:09:34. > :09:39.Jong-Nam had been lying low for a while, he had gone off message badly
:09:40. > :09:44.before. He had said some stuff about not believing in hereditary

:22:17. > :22:20.Well, I think I got better quicker, which is great.
:22:21. > :22:21.In the hospital, they haven't enough beds.
:22:22. > :22:25.If they can do it at home - a, I think you're much better at home.
:22:26. > :22:28.You don't get bugs and infection, etc, and I think it's

:22:35. > :22:39.This is the Scottish Government's flagship NHS policy in action,
:22:40. > :22:41.the integration of health and social care.
:22:42. > :22:43.All the medical staff involved in Mrs Gibson's care meet
:22:44. > :22:48.regularly to co-ordinate their patient's needs.
:22:49. > :22:54.By providing care at home, they should be able to reduce
:22:55. > :22:59.Integrated health and social care centres, like this one,
:23:00. > :23:02.combine GP practices with social work, mental health services,
:23:03. > :23:06.physiotherapy, district nurses and health visitors.
:23:07. > :23:09.Having all of that under one roof, managers say, makes it much easier
:23:10. > :23:14.to co-ordinate a patient's different care needs.
:23:15. > :23:17.We have traditionally had hospital care, people were in-patients,
:23:18. > :23:22.they were acutely unwell and then they went out to the community,
:23:23. > :23:24.to a nursing home, and those two things were very separate.
:23:25. > :23:28.But in fact, we realised that people get much more out of our care
:23:29. > :23:31.if we can have them looked after in their own environment but,
:23:32. > :23:32.importantly, that they have the right care,
:23:33. > :23:38.Spending on the NHS in Scotland is higher
:23:39. > :23:41.than in the rest of the UK, but there are still problems
:23:42. > :23:43.and it's too soon to see any measurable, nationwide change
:23:44. > :23:50.We do know at the moment there are some great examples,
:23:51. > :23:52.but they're not being rolled out fast enough or consistently enough
:23:53. > :23:57.across Scotland given the scale of the challenge.
:23:58. > :23:58.90-year-old Neta Hastings discovered integration does
:23:59. > :24:04.After what should have been a very brief hospital stay,
:24:05. > :24:07.her daughter had to battle to get her the care she needed at
:24:08. > :24:11.I was really annoyed about it, you know.
:24:12. > :24:17.There's lot of people in there who don't have somebody
:24:18. > :24:19.battling for them and they're lying there waiting for care,
:24:20. > :24:42.Mrs Hastings' experience is exactly the kind of problem integrated care
:24:43. > :24:45.is meant to address, but her case shows it is not yet
:24:46. > :24:49.For many, it was a romantic era of travel.
:24:50. > :24:53.The sights - and sounds - of the steam train was once
:24:54. > :25:01.Well today, steam power returned for the first time in nearly half
:25:02. > :25:04.a century in a timetabled service between Cumbria and North Yorkshire.
:25:05. > :25:05.Let's go live now to our correspondent,
:25:06. > :25:19.We maybe in a fairly remote spot but a steam train will pull into this
:25:20. > :25:22.platform, pulling eight carriages with hundreds of passengers on
:25:23. > :25:25.board. Way more than you would normally expect to find on a train
:25:26. > :25:27.at this time of the week. That's because the attraction of steam has
:25:28. > :25:34.proved very strong for people today. On the Settle to Carlisle line
:25:35. > :25:37.today, the sights and sounds It's a long time since
:25:38. > :25:40.the mid-morning service from Skipton B.
:25:41. > :25:46.B. But then this was the first
:25:47. > :25:48.timetabled steam train in England Standard fares and discounts
:25:49. > :25:55.applied, you'd normally pay a hefty premium for a steam trip,
:25:56. > :25:58.but not here, not this week. I thought I'd fetch my wife
:25:59. > :26:02.for Valentine's Day. so it was cheaper
:26:03. > :26:07.than a bunch of roses. So what do you make
:26:08. > :26:09.of the Valentine's present? On the footplate, the crew
:26:10. > :26:18.were working hard, tonnes of coal were shovelled as the train went
:26:19. > :26:19.back-and-forth between And this isn't just
:26:20. > :26:24.about a trip on a steam train, for lots of people it's a ride
:26:25. > :26:27.through the Yorkshire Dales countryside as well and crossing
:26:28. > :26:32.the Ribblehead viaduct. Talking to some customers
:26:33. > :26:38.on the train that had travelled from Essex,
:26:39. > :26:40.Norfolk, you know, just for I think, you know, Valentine's Day,
:26:41. > :26:45.the Settle and Carlisle railway, on a stream train, I mean,
:26:46. > :26:49.how better does it get? So could we see more
:26:50. > :26:51.timetabled steam trains It's something we could do once
:26:52. > :26:55.a year, maybe twice a year. You know, it would fit in Cornwall
:26:56. > :26:58.in Anglia, in Scotland say. Yeah, we could take
:26:59. > :27:02.it round the country. This maybe the start of something
:27:03. > :27:05.special on Britain's railways, 49 years after mainline
:27:06. > :27:28.steam officially ended. From the mountains to the coast, a
:27:29. > :27:33.glorious day today in the west of Scotland, 14 degrees. Sticking out
:27:34. > :27:38.in the sunshine, nicely indeed. Not so sunny for all of us. Cloud in
:27:39. > :27:46.Northern Ireland through to Wales and in Holyhead. In Hollywood it was
:27:47. > :27:50.warmer than this. In Holyhead it was disappointing with rain. They will
:27:51. > :27:55.push northwards through the night. We could see showers to the far
:27:56. > :27:59.south-east and wet weather to the far south-west of England.
:28:00. > :28:02.Temperatures not that low. Maybe a touch of frost to the northern
:28:03. > :28:09.Glenns of Scotland. Frost-free but a wet start to the day, breakfast time
:28:10. > :28:14.across parts of Cornwall, pushing into Devon and thundery bursts here
:28:15. > :28:18.up into south-west Wales. Murk around and fog up over high levels,
:28:19. > :28:22.but should brighten up a little bit. Don't hold your breath. Showers into
:28:23. > :28:26.Northern Ireland, for west side of Scotland. Scotland will have
:28:27. > :28:30.sunshine to the northern Glens. It will be chilly. Through the day,
:28:31. > :28:34.hopefully it will brighten up for some of us. The best of the sunshine
:28:35. > :28:37.to the north of Scotland. This band of showery rain pushing up through
:28:38. > :28:42.the heart of England, through Wales, through Northern Ireland we will see
:28:43. > :28:46.showers into north-west England, south-west Scotland. Behind that it
:28:47. > :28:49.will brighten up to the far south-west of England and Wales.
:28:50. > :28:52.Double figures in many places. Another mild one coming up.
:28:53. > :28:56.Thursday, quiet to the southern half of the UK. Any fog should lift.
:28:57. > :29:00.Sunshine will develop. Further North, a boisterous day for Scotland
:29:01. > :29:03.and Northern Ireland, for north of England, a breeze here and blustery
:29:04. > :29:07.showers to the far north of Scotland. Pretty mild. Watch out for
:29:08. > :29:13.fog on Friday morning. It could be an issue. John, thank you.
:29:14. > :29:16.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,
:29:17. > :29:18.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
