mr stevens, would you like to comment on that and i will bring in mr evans?sets that were made on the budget are as a result of policy changes and they won't have a direct impact on front line services. there are others where clearly, there are bigger concerns. sustaining preventive services that are commissioned by local authorities is one of them. no doubt we'll come on and talk about social care. i think the original proposition in the five year forward view was we would need to expand capital investment in practise u nfortu nately, capital investment in practise unfortunately, we're having to cut it by about £1 billion a year. unfortunately, we're having to cut it by about £1 billion a yearlj wa nt it by about £1 billion a yearlj want to, before i pass to mr evans, who will come in very briefly, the cash reserves of trusts are dwindling. mr stevens highlighted theissue dwindling. mr stevens highlighted the issue about capital funding which has been turned into a resource so there was a reduction in capital spending. this is all causing hidden stresses on

mr thae was speaking to our correspondent in seoul stephen evans.ives, my brother and sisters' families, by now all sent to either remote, closed areas or prison camps, you know? so that really breaks my heart. that's why i'm very much now determined to do everything possible to pull down the north korean regime. in order to save, not only my family members, but the whole north korean people from slavery. if, when kimjong un gets the bomb properly and missiles to deliver, is he capable of pressing that button and destroying los angeles? 0h, kimjong un knows quite well that... nuclear weapons is the only guarantee for his rule. kimjong un, i think, will press the button of this dangerous weapon when he thinks that his rule and his dynasty is threatened, to be collapsed. how do you think kim jong un will end his days? is he going to die peacefully in his own bed? no. or how? i am sure that kimjong un's regime one day will collapse by people, and uprising. by people, an uprising. a taxi driverfrom leicester who told a man with a guide dog it was agains

mr trump's view on that: it's not clear if he's expressing doubts about north korea's nuclear capabilities or is planning preventive action. live now to the bbc‘s steve evansmr trump, north korea will not become a nuclear power. no kids and no buts. what is the thinking they're about what mr trump means? -- ifs. that is a very good question. people don't know what to make of it. it is 140 characters and a way of making policy statement. north korea, this is from the president—elect, north korea to stated it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the us. it won't happen. those three words. mr trump could mean he doesn't think the technological progress will be made. he could be indicating he thinks the regime will collapse. before the election. he indicated he might sit down with kim jong—un over a burger and the two could agree for kim jong—un to give a burger and the two could agree for kimjong—un to give up on nuclear ambitions. we simply don't know which of those it is. or, in might think this is a pretty clear message, it won't happen because we are going to stop it happening. in which case, that prompts the

evan mcmullin, thank you for joining us. up next former u.s. ambassador to russia. first, mr. ambassador, your response to what i was just discussing with evan and your view of where intelligence and diplomacy meet here. >> well, intelligence is a major part of diplomacy, a major part of our developing a foreign policy. in a few weeks president trump is going to be working with these very people that he's saying very distrustful things about. i want to remind your viewers that the vast majority of the people that work in the intelligence community are not political appointees. they're professionals that will be there january 20th working for president trump. >> mr. ambassador, when we look at the sanctions that are currently being deployed against russia, when trump comes in, do they just continue automatically? what does it take for him to change them? >> yes, they do continue. it will be incumbent on him to be proactive to change them. if he chooses to do so. and in doing so i think he'll have to explain to the american people and to his own administration -- i want to keep e

mr trump's view on that: ‘it won't happen.‘ 0ur south korea correspondent steve evans has more from seoul on the bbc in november, shortly after donald trump one and you predicted that we would hear this kind of rhetoric from kim jong—un at some point as america went through a transition. you think thatis went through a transition. you think that is all idiots? rhetoric matters, however. it is certainly rhetoric. 140 characters of rhetoric. 140 characters of rhetoric. it is clear stuff. it is those words, quote, it won't happen," from the president—elect. there is a political consequence because if it does happen within the four u—turn, democrats will say you said it won't happen but more importantly how is he going to stop it happening? there are all kinds of options you would imagine. 0ne maybe he does not think the regime will survive or that he does not think the technological ability is there to deliver on the threat. 0r the technological ability is there to deliver on the threat. or he may be thinking "i will sit down with kimjong—un be thinking "i will sit down with kim jong—un over

as evan points out, there was no complaint from mr. trump or the trump team when it was russian intelligence leaking information about hillary clinton and democrats and donna brazile and the like. >> he's not denying the core of what the reporting is, and that this was presented to him and president obama last friday with a classified briefing. i think the fact that the intelligence community included this two-page synopsis shows that they're taking the allegations, some of them, at least, serious to a degree. their assessment that the russians hacked and released this information to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump was completely independent of these allegations. >> and it doesn't take away from the extraordinary nature of this, the idea that an incoming president will be presented with this kind of information before he even takes office. essentially takes office under the cloud of this. it's one way in which we know this is going to hangover him. we know this is not going to go away because the intelligence agencies and la

mr. trump. so not part of that initial and overall assessment. >> evan perez, we have allegations being made bysians and they're saying, a, they have compromising personal and financial information about the president-elect. b, they had exchanges with the trump team throughout 2016. what the intelligence officials did not do is say we know these things are true. they say russians are claiming it, that they believe. why bring up this information if the fbi and the intelligence community is still investigating it and hasn't corroborated it? why bring it to the president-elect? >> for a couple reasons. the intelligence cheechs decided to include these summaries in a way to remind donald trump that this information was out there, that these allegations involving him were circulating among some of the highest level officials including intelligence agencies, members of congress, government officials in washington. several officials with knowledge of the briefings tell cnn is information was included in part to demonstrate in part russia had compiled information potentially harmful to both political p

mr trump is literally correct when he says they are unsubstantiated. nevertheless, america's within a credible position of my days before an inauguration to decide whether or not their president is a russian agent of influence. evansevans stood as the independent candidate in an election and is a former cia operative who joins me now. good to see you and thank you for being with us. the relationship between the commander—in—chief and spy between the commander—in—chief and spy agencies is critical to any country's national security. how would you characterise the relationship between a donald trump, the cia and the fbi? it is highly troubled and the reason for that is that chiefly because donald trump remains committed to aligning his administration and a country with the very regime, the very country thatis the very regime, the very country that is directly attacking and undermining our democracy. we depend on our undermining our democracy. we depend on oui’ democracy as undermining our democracy. we depend on our democracy as a fundamental defence of our basic rights and as a source of power for our interests. how for our country. donald trump is attacking mat or vladimir putin is attacking mat or vladimir putin
