reporter: something very similar to what we heard from john brennan, uncertainty. they did not expect the trumpet administration. they are still waiting for key positions, like secretary of state, to be filled. there is some anxiety. katty: what specifically? reporter: specifically, waterboarding. the u.k. has a rules in the last few years which says how to cooperate with other intelligence services with different standards on human rights, detention, and interrogation. that was really for countries in the middle east and africa. suddenly they may have an issue with the united states if waterboarded was somehow resumed. suddenly, they may have problems cooperating with their closest ally. potentially a significant impact on relationships. a lot of these are unknown quantities in other capitals. they are not people they know and have been talking to from previous administrations with a track record. there is a sense of not knowing exact a what will come. -- exactly what will come. katty: thank you for coming in. questions about the direction the next administration

. >> reporter: cia director john brennan telling the bbc, i think president trump and the new administrationwary of russian promises. reversing u.s. course on russia is risky. europe is on edge. u.s. marines are here in norway on winter war games, demonstrating a u.s. presence. and in eastern aleppo, russian bombs paved the way for the regime's killing of civilians. 40% of eastern aleppo has fallen in the last 48 hours, according to a u.s. defense official. trump claiming he will back out of the iran nuclear deal. the cia director saying, i think it would be disastrous. if the deal is torn up, the u.s. believes iran will restart its nuclear weapons program, prompting other nations to race to catch up. brennan calling it the height of folly to walk away. as trump weighs his choices for secretary of state, the current secretary, who negotiated the deal, made clear he will be ready to speak out against the upcoming trump administration. >> we're going to have one hell of a debate over the course of the next few years, i assure you. >> reporter: john kerry making a promise. >> i am not going to

cia director john brennan has long warned baghdadi will be dealt with. >> his time is limited so it'sn of whether or not he'll be removed this week, this month, next month or in the coming months. >> it had been thought baghdadi was hiding somewhere around raqqah, isis' declared capital in syria but a local militia group now says it believes he's in iraq somewhere between tal afar and baaj. they said we know baghdadi fled mosul and headed in a western direction. we also have confirmed intelligence information that al baghdadi is not in tal afar. baghdadi clearly knows he is a hunted man. >> the reason he's alive is they really do practice tremendous operational security. they know we are looking for them. >> but even as the country moves towards a trump press didencpre killing baghdadi may do little to reduce the terror threat. there is worry a san bernardino story lone wolf attack could be launched. >> we also need to operate against wherever it arises, libya, afghanistan and absolutely we need to protect our own people. >> inside iraq the fighting for mosul is likely to grow worse,

today, cia director john brennan expressed hope that those briefings would reign in any dramatic foreignicy changes, such as re-evaluating treaties with asian and european allies. and there's still a lot of questions about what a trump foreign policy will look like. >> good report. thank you very much, jim sciutto reporting for us. let's talk a little bit more about the breaking news on the trump transition. joining us now, former congressman jack kingston. congressman, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >> so you read that new interview, the first he's done since becoming president-elect with "the wall street journal." he's open to amending obamacare instead of simply outright repealing it, if you will, replacing it. he said out of respect to the president, he wants to consider that. didn't speak about building the wall, mexico paying for it. is there a difference now in governing as opposed to campaigning? >> there is a difference, and i think a lot of it is just the tone and the words that you choose and you need to choose them carefully. i believe the two provisi

. >> olivier: yes, i wrote a piece about john brennan's foreign gifts when he was nominated for head of the c.i.a. i have a weird obsession to american gifts to foreign officials. really important are the big, fat committee questionnaires on the questions of policy and ideology and the rest of it and sometimes the trouble can bubble up in there. a committee will submit 250 questions and one of them is answered off kilter and the committee will helpfully steer reporters to the off-kilter answer. yes, there are ways -- that was a great way of phrasing it. do you see any trouble ahead kind of question. that's absolutely your friend. cat: olivier, how did you find the foreign gifts for the c.i.a. director? olivier: it was kind of a random tax release. they released the financial disclosures and a couple of pages were foreign gifts. i'm trying to remember what they were now. i think one of them was an insanely lavish clock that he got but -- it was -- i wasn't steered to it at all. it's just my own weird, quirky obsession but they do release this stuff. on the questionnaires, you can typi

john brennan had been in the cia for many years.uch too partisan, but he had been in riyadh. he knew the intelligence community. george h.w. bush knew it. he had been ambassador to china. and i could go on and on. porter goss, all these directors. and what worries me is the cia's very partisan right now and if you take the congressman, and put him -- he's been very straightforward on benghazi, that was a failure of the clinton administration, and breaking with iran, undoing this agreement. so he is a partisan choice. i had hoped trump would go into this and pick a professional or somebody that was fairly neutral. so i think as a choice, he's actually worse than flynn, because he has less experience as a former professional. >> let's be clear, you would rather not see a politician, period, running the cia? >> i would get somebody out of the ranks or a four-star general. >> stick around. a lot more to discuss. next, he wasn't donald trump's biggest fan. mitt romney, who, as you know, has a weakness for chocolate milk. the question now

i'm sure the director, current director, john brennan, has been in touch with him and offered him thevices of the agency that to help him prepare for confirmation and also to brief him on any issues that he wants briefings on. he will have had some of those on the intelligence committee. often people who come to this position will contact former directors and deputy directors and have a conversation with them about the agency, how it operates, what its culture is, what are the things to know and to watch out for in terms of problems that a director can encounter. and he'll take some time to visit the agency and get to know people a bit before confirmation. those are the things i would expect him to do and i think has a head start on being on the intelligence committee. >> do you expect the president-elect toll replace james comey at the fbi, who's serving a fairly lengthy term but has received criticism for his involvement in the electoral results? >> i have no idea. perhaps -- perhaps the former attorney general mukasey has a view on that. i have no idea. if i had to give you an opin

in a bbc interview, john brennan said: "i think it would be disastrous.hink it would be the height of folly, if the next administration were to tear up that agreement." brennan argued such a move would open the door for other countries to pursue nuclear weapons. >> sreenivasan: the united nations security council slapped new sanctions on north korea today, in response to its fifth, and largest, nuclear test in september. the council unanimously approved the resolution, which will slash north korea's biggest export, coal, by at least 62%. it also bans the regime from exporting metals like copper, nickel, and silver. >> woodruff: democrats in the u.s. house of representatives re-elected california's nancy pelosi as their leader today. the congresswoman has led the party in the house since 2002. pelosi survived a challenge from ohio representative tim ryan, in a 134 to 63 vote. her win came in spite of disenchantment from some in her caucus after a disappointing showing in this month's elections. >> we have a responsibility, and we embrace the opportunity th

. >> now, the cia director, john brennan, was speaking to the bbc about donald trump's argument duringthe campaign and since that the iran deal was a bad deal, he would try to renegotiate it, canceled parts of it. this is the warning that the cia director gave. >> first of all, for one administration to tear up an agreement that a previous administration made would be almost unprecedented. and then it could lead to a weapons program inside of iran, that could lead other states in the region to embark on their own programs. so i think it would be the height of folly if the next administration were to tear up that agreement. >> that is a public warning. we don't know what the private warnings have been. but we do know that donald trump has only had three intelligence briefings since being elected, rather than the daily briefing that he's entitled to. >> i think the president-elect has to spend more time dealing with intelligence briefings, less time tweeting. and i think we have to be less concerned with tweets, chasing every one, as if it's some sort of revealed wisdom that's going out

. >> john brennan talked to the bbc and the british media basically said it will be a folly for donald trump to void that agreement? >> i think a mistake to tear up the agreement at this point. we would be isolated not the iranians. i think what the new president can do is push back against the iranians in all of the other -- >> the behavior acts? >> their behavior and pulling guns at our helicopters and meddling in yemen and syria and having significant troops. we should have, from the very beginning, made it clear that we were not going to allow, that the agreement on nuclear materials would not prohibit us in that region against the iranians. the irony is the ayatollah made it clear they were not going to be inhibited from doing other things in the region. i don't know why the president didn't provide that same kind o pushback. >> it seems to me that on china, on russia, on iran, you're basic saying we have to make sure people feel our presence and do not push us around and we are, in fact, going to stand for what we believe in? >> absolutely. but i do think there are lots of ways t

john brennan who is the cia director will be handing the reins over to representative mike pompeo ofif that goes as planned from what we learned this morning. it's interesting to see who holds those roles and who will be in a trump administration. >> jason miller said he's confident they will be confirmed. mcconnell was expressing the fact whatever nominee you give us we'll push forward. martha: that's one of the things they are concerned about when you have senate approval. you have to pick someone you think will make it over that. we'll leave you with this shot of trump tower. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you

i voted peace about john brennan forgets when he was nominated to lead the cia. i had a weird obsession with ford gives to american officials. also really importan a portly te the big fat committee questionnaires on questions of policy and ideology and the rest of it. sometimes the trouble can bubble up from there. a committee will submit 250 questions and one of them is answered offkilter at the committee will hopefully stay reporters to the offkilter answer. so yeah, there are ways, but asking, that's a great way of phrasing it, do you see any trouble ahead, kind of question, that's absolutely your friend. >> tell the i inside he found the foreign gifts for the cia director. >> the committee actually attach them come if i remember quickly, kind of a random press release. they attach of the financial disclosure and a couple pages of the financial disclosures were foreign gifts, al-qaeda member what they were now. i'm sure you can find it easily if you do an online search. one of them was an insanely lavish clock that he got. but so, you know, i wasn't steered to

john: it does happen. the brennan center certainly does their work and studies the issue and produces reports. if you practice in this area, and you can understand the factor there are arguments and studies on both sides of that particular issue. the heritage foundation for instance found hundreds of instances of voter fraud. is ripe forc that debate. it is a partisan issue in many circumstances. i recognize that. what i think the heart of the voter fraud issue gets to is that as long as people and we are all people and we are all humans participate in the voting process, there will be those who want to cheat the system and so if there are safeguards we can put in place to ensure that the system remains with a certain level of integrity and that are fair to all, then we should proceed and adopt those reforms. host: kristen clarke to you agree that voter identification is necessary? kristen: no, the data shows you have a greater chance of being struck i lightning -- by lightning than seeing voter fraud play out on elec
