:01:10. > :01:11.Vladimir Putin of ordering the hacking of US political parties
:01:12. > :01:18.On Twitter, Mr Trump said: "Having a good relationship
:01:19. > :01:20.with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing.
:01:21. > :01:24.Only "stupid" people, or fools, would think that it is bad!

:01:37. > :01:41.Our correspondent Barbara Plett-Usher, who is in Washington,
:01:42. > :01:43.has been assessing Mr Trump's response to that
:01:44. > :02:00.Mr Trump has been doing most of the news-making, as you could see with
:02:01. > :02:04.his tweet on Russia. He has renewed his calls for closer cooperation and
:02:05. > :02:07.relations with Russia and that is a signal he does not want to change
:02:08. > :02:12.his approach to Russia even though the intelligence report accused
:02:13. > :02:15.Russia of meddling in the election. Mr Trump, after the briefing,
:02:16. > :02:20.appeared to concede that Russia might have been involved in some way
:02:21. > :02:23.but he did not say anything about the conclusion that Vladimir Putin
:02:24. > :02:28.was trying to help them win the election and he very much insisted
:02:29. > :02:33.that any hacking or outside influence did not have any impact on
:02:34. > :02:38.the outcome of the vote and what you are seeing, the underlying factor to
:02:39. > :02:42.his response to the intelligence briefing is one that has been there
:02:43. > :02:48.all along. He said he cannot accept the Russians tried to help him win
:02:49. > :02:50.because he feels this would delegitimise his victory and you can
:02:51. > :02:55.see in his tweets where he attacks the Democrats and says they are
:02:56. > :02:59.driving this because they were sore losers when he says they are at
:03:00. > :03:04.fault for computers being hacked because they had poor defences. He
:03:05. > :03:07.has gone on with that response although he softened his tone
:03:08. > :03:10.towards the intelligence agencies and did appear to concede that there
:03:11. > :03:12.had been some kind of cyber interference from the Russians.
:03:13. > :03:17.Sir Tony Brenton, is the former UK ambassador to Russia -
:03:18. > :03:22.he joins us via Skype from Cambridge.
:03:23. > :03:29.Doesn't Donald Trump have a point that there is at potential for
:03:30. > :03:33.global improvement if the US and Russia can work together? I think
:03:34. > :03:37.that is the case and what is going on in Washington is in some sense a
:03:38. > :03:45.struggle about precisely that point with the agencies who are hostile to
:03:46. > :03:51.any relationship with Russia but you got this report which is accurate,
:03:52. > :03:56.no doubt, but as a weapon to tie Donald Trump dime. Where do you
:03:57. > :04:03.think this new relationship could go? What are your sources telling
:04:04. > :04:07.you in Moscow? Moscow, it has been at the top of Mr Putin's to-do list,
:04:08. > :04:12.establishing a good relationship with Donald Trump. Get -- he had the
:04:13. > :04:14.wrong relationship with Obama and that reached the stage of being
:04:15. > :04:20.quite dangerous this autumn when each side was threatening the other
:04:21. > :04:24.with military action. The obvious area where both can work together
:04:25. > :04:28.isn't dealing with Isis. Both Vladimir Putin and Trump said that
:04:29. > :04:33.the Russians are not killing Americans, Americans are not killing
:04:34. > :04:39.Russians but Islamic extremists are killing both. Beyond that, and other
:04:40. > :04:43.obvious area for cooperation, strangely, is cyber warfare, and
:04:44. > :04:46.seeing the charges against Russia, and we have seen the Americans
:04:47. > :04:52.hacking into the cellphone of Angela Merkel. This is in the area of
:04:53. > :04:58.potential conflict which is very dangerous and in similar ways to the
:04:59. > :05:02.earlier years of nuclear, the ownership of nuclear weapons. And
:05:03. > :05:05.there is scope for agreement there and that is something we could
:05:06. > :05:09.usefully work on together. Some people will find it difficult to
:05:10. > :05:14.take, given the evidence that the US intelligence agencies say they have
:05:15. > :05:18.that Russia has hacked and effected the US election, potentially trying
:05:19. > :05:24.to do the same in French and German elections. But just taking the point
:05:25. > :05:28.on IS, which has been a crucial battle ground around the world, did
:05:29. > :05:35.you think there is potential scope? What about Iran and Saudi in the
:05:36. > :05:38.proxy wars going on in the region? There are all sorts of
:05:39. > :05:45.complications, we had a sharp disagreement about Syria. Yes,
:05:46. > :05:50.Donald Trump said very firmly against Iran, who are working with
:05:51. > :05:54.the Russians, and the Saudis working with the Americans. But the
:05:55. > :05:59.underlining fact is that both Russians and Americans have suffered
:06:00. > :06:05.from the impact of Islamic terrorism. Both have intelligence
:06:06. > :06:10.from either side, both of military assets in Syria which are usable and
:06:11. > :06:14.on both sides are being used against Isis activity there. They are
:06:15. > :06:21.co-ordinated, they can do things better. And the main point is it is
:06:22. > :06:25.important in itself that if they didn't create mutual trust and
:06:26. > :06:30.cooperation, which could lead to closer deals on the difficult areas,
:06:31. > :06:35.most notably Ukraine... Sir Tony Brenton, many thanks.
