have a listen to paul wood.ere, which is that donald trump, president—elect of the united states, is vulnerable to blackmail by the russians. that is such an extraordinary claim, so much depends on the credibility of the author of this dossier. he has now been named as christopher steele, a former mi6 agent who was in moscow in the early 1990s. and speaking to one intelligence source, he is apparently very highly regarded among his peers as competent and trustworthy, and that reputation, i think, is one of the main reasons why what he said, the allegations he repeated from russian security officers, were taken so seriously by the american intelligence institutions. i spoke to one intermediary, because you can't speak to cia case officers directly, but i spoke to an intermediary, and a message came back from the people dealing with this file that they found it credible, that there was more than one tape, that there was an audio tape, as well as a video tape, that there were several times that these activities sup

the bbc‘s paul wood has spent several months looking into this now—infamous dossier that has so angered for some weeks but we have not been able to publish it or verify its contents. here's paul with what he found. this document has circulated for some time in washington, it was known about in the congressional leadership, senior intelligence figures, in september and october. some of the big american papers got hold of it, as did we in the bbc, in the last week of the election. many people felt they could not publish it because they did not know if it was true. i managed to pass on questions to the cia officers, or some of them, dealing with the case file. it would be illegalfor them to talk to me directly but i got a message back from them saying it was more than one table, audio as well as video, in more than one location, not just the as video, in more than one location, notjust the ritz—carlton in moscow but st petersburg as well, more than one data, material of the sexual nature which they regarded as credible. i spoke to a retired spy in august to tilt me quite independently of t

the report from paul wood of the bbc which he got through a british intelligence officer quoting an easternof the tapes, we now know that the secret courts in the united states which handles top—secret international matters on intelligence, has put out warrants foran intelligence, has put out warrants for an investigation of two russian banks to see if they are connected with donald trump. this was a past investigation. we don't know yet whether it is ongoing. a few days from his inauguration as us president, what due diligence is being done in us politics by republican politicians as well as others to examine these is —— these allegations and could it actually make any difference to what happens next to donald trump? it could make a difference. we are having a battle over due diligence. the us intelligence community is carrying out due diligence system by checking out the latest claims as they did over russian hacking. what happened in both cases is donald trump accused the us intelligence community of working against him, being inept, linking them and calling them nazis. in the first case

well our correspondent paul wood is in washington.he cia himself that these allegations are thought to come from a credible source. he also said that mr trump is sceptical of information from the us security services. not the first time he has attacked the cia. we have not seen language like this for a long time. originally compiled by a former british intelligence agent, a mi6 man. he did it for an opposition research company in washington, dc. the company i know quite well and have visited often. working forjeb bush's super pack, and the party donor. the allegations are extremely low ridge. out of fairness to mr trump and anybody under the age of 18, we should not relate them. here is the crucial point. i was able to send a message into the cia in november to ask them about the allegations, legal for any official to talk to me about them. i got a message through an intermediary, where they were regarded as credible, and there was more than a single source, not just credible, and there was more than a single source, notjust the mi6 m

alice paul personally felt that with a volunteer army, which would start in the 1970's, that there would not be a need for the draft anymore. she is kind of right, right now. knock on wood. she said, by the way, women have always been in the army. they have always been there. but not necessarily recognized for it. i'm not sure how she would feel about what is going on today, but at the core of it, she would say women should be drafted, not that she would want them to be drafted, but that legally she would see it, if you want true equality, then this is one of the products of equality. do you guys want to add to that? dr. muncy: maybe somebody here knows what's going on with this. i saw a little blurb that suggested that the authorization bill would require that 18-year-old women would register. help us. dr. muncy: so it is to prevent it. right. page: dr. williams, do you encounter this when you are out speaking and when your organization is out speaking? dr. williams: i think the audiences to which i speak are often already ready for the equal rights amendment. i don't find any opposition at all. they are just hungry for more information, so they know how to explain the
