veracity of the allegations. president obama was also presented with the claims and reportedly dismissed them. today vice-president biden telling reporters, quote, what does that have to do with anything? biden said? neither of us asked for any detail. >> look, there are a number of serious things that have taj enplace. >> president-elect trump has chose tone lead the cia said they would pursue the allegations. >> i will pursue the facts wherever they take us. >> still they question what constitutes credible information. >> leaked by wikileaks. >> he pointed to this tweet in which he equates wikileaks with proof. >> do you think wikileaks is a reliable source of information? >> i do not. >> and the fact that you used the word proof, need proof, that would indicate that you did think it was a credible source of information. >> i have never believed wikileaks was a credible source of information. >> how do you explain your

again, this is not to assert anything about the veracity of the claims in the dossier. i don't know if any of that stuff is true and neither do you. the intelligence community itself says they cannot speak one way or the other to the veracity of those claims. the director of national intelligence says they have not determined whether those claims are true. we don't know if any of it is true. but the first reporter who found this ex-spy, who found the guy putting together the dossier on donald trump and the russians, the first reporter who found him was david corn at "mother jones" magazine. he was the first person to report sort of vaguely on the existence of this dossier. david corn did not report any of the salacious details from the dossier that are out there now but he did publish that right before the election and david corn today has now published for the first time his interview with the ex-british spy who compiled all this information. david corn says in writing up this interview that the ex-spy did not particularly enjoy talking to the press, that he doesn't wa

what is the veracity of the study? it is a big study.ied 7 million people, and they have concluded in ontario that you are 12% more likely to suffer from dementia later in life if you live near a busy road. that is very shocking. going back to the nhs, we have a huge crisis with ca re the nhs, we have a huge crisis with care for older people, many of whom, 200,000 already a year, being diagnosed with dementia. if that is going to get worse, it is incumbent oi'i going to get worse, it is incumbent on the nhs to make sure it is spending its money well. here we have a story about all migrants should learn english. we are going to skip over that. buzzfeed. trump trusts wikileaks astonish over us intelligence agencies. mr assange has said that it was not wikileaks that gave the information about the democratic committee in america. mr trump is taking his information over that from him rather than us intelligence agencies. this is an astonishing story. julian assange comes out and says, russia is not my sources. and then donald trump is tweeti

they never said hit no veracity. again they haven't made a determination yet.g away from the truth. what is the media to do? >> trump's aides are misleading this at every turn. they rather talk about us, rather talk about the media, decry cnn and buzz feed and other outlets trying to work on this story. they rather talk about the media than the facts on the ground. that was my impression at the press conference. donald trump would rather attack the press, attack the messengers than deal with the questions. this is something we should expect to continue. to prepare to continue. we talk a lot about media distrust in this country, low levels of trust in media, the polls have shown it for years. we should also note how many viewers want us, want the press to be challenging power. whether it's bush, obama, trump and whoever comes after trump. my inbox is stuffed thank you, jim, for standing there yesterday and thanking this network for its reporting about trump and russia and thanking the press and practically begging for more of it. yes, there's a portion of the co

intelligence james clapper released a statement to deny responsibility of the leaks and note the undeniable veracity of that 35-page dossier. >> this morning, the president-elect appeared to contradict the latter saying clapper told him the document was not true. >> that was trump. a summary of those inflammatory allegations was included in an appendix and shared with members of congress known as the gang of eight. there they are, last week. i'm joined by leon panetta, former secretary of defense under president obama. mr. director, mr. secretary i should say as well, what do you think of the decision by the intelligence community, the cia and the others, to distribute to all eight members of the gang of eight, the ranking members, but also the political leadership of both sides of the aisle and both sides of the hill to distribute that widely, this two-page attachment which was not intelligence but was some kind of information gathered by a research operation about trump, was that wise to distribute it that widely? >> well, chris, i think the standard that usually is followed here is that based on

intelligence continues to probe the veracity of the claims. >> it's all fake news.ony stuff. it didn't happen. >> reporter: after the dossier was published online, trump denied the allegations and accused the intelligence community of leaking the material to hurt him. >> and that's something that nazi germany would have done and did do. >> reporter: outgoing c.i.a. director john brennan denied that anyone in the intelligence community leaked that material, but, scott, in an effort to mend fences, tomorrow, president trump is scheduled to visit c.i.a. headquarters in langley, virginia. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom, thanks. up next, inaugural soundtracks. when all politics is vocal. . >> pelley: nothing is more agreeable and ornamental than good music. with those words from george washington, we end with these inaugural notes from jan crawford. ♪ you make me feel so young >> reporter: in the annals of inauguration galas, it's hard to top 1961, organized by none other than frank sinatra. ♪ give it a simple life ♪ >> reporter: the gala for president

you could not argue with its veracity and proves everything, thatis its veracity and proves everythingty and to piece it together and say, we are confident this happened. the question for donald trump, will it convince him, 01’ donald trump, will it convince him, or the fact it is an assessment will leave him room to say, i do not see definitive proof. that is the question coming from the briefing. fascinating. i hope to talk more about this later in the afternoon. now, its famous throughout the world for using the sun to mark the summer solstice. but now it seems stonehenge may also have had its own, distinct, sound. scientists at the site have used virtual reality technology to recreate what the henge would have looked like, thousands of years ago, when it was complete. and they've used ancient musical instruments to recreate the circle's original acoustics. 0ur correspondent, david sillito, went along for a listen. wind blows eerily. people have been coming here for at least 4000—5000 years, so we're walking in the feet of history. when the wind blows, some people say they hear a st

they can't speak to the veracity of the information itself. >> right. >> a but it suggests that there are russians claiming that they have potentially compromising information on the president-elect. >> that's right. keep in mind russians claiming this. keep in mind as well that this is not a u.s. intelligence product. it was produced by a former mi-6, this is the british foreign intelligence services as opposed to the mi-5 performed by a former intelligence -- and as carl mentioned, it began as political opposition research, first for republican opponents of mr. trump, and then democratic opponents. that's it. he is considered in the past a credible source to western intelligence services. and as they have vetted his russian sources, they believe as well that there is credibility there. they have not, then, though, taken the initial step or they haven't arrived at the later conclusion that these are factual. but they are taking the step of looking at them and also, and this is crucial, took the step of sharing these facts with the president-elect. >> and it happens in the backdrop of

pants on to the next person one leg at a time like us three legged race we could not confirm the of veracity of the necropants team reports but it was so geared we had to include it. you are welcome. the -- these are located just outside a village and and tell 2005 nobody knew of their existence. a german explorer was is venturing into the assyria and saw the falls and thought they are really tall . like top-10 in the world. the villages said we knowal they are tall but there are so many things out there we got used to them. so when they were measured it was apparent there was controversy. . .e we sort of forgot that they were there. this is something that we see a lot in the philosophy. you don't have to go to peru to find things extraordinary. there are things in our ownu backyard but our incredible, ane it is just a matter of opening your eyes and not becomingoming complacent about what's around you. so, to that end, i want to talk about one more place briefly, which is right here in the state of wisconsin.

trouble with the relationship with veracity. the crowd shown here was smaller. he sent sean spicer to the briefing program to campaign. >> photographs were framed in a way in one tweet. this was the largest audience to witness an inauguration period in person and around the globe. >> several of the claims were false. but kellyanne conway has a different way to describe them. >> you did not answer the question why the president asked the us whwhite house press secr to come out to the podium and utter a falsehood. it undermines the white house on stay one. >> don't be so dramatic, chuck. he gave alternative facts to that. >> alternative facts? alternative facts are not facts. they are falsehoods. >> sean spicer set to give his first official briefing at 1:30. he will take questions today. when he came out on saturday, he did not take questions. >> that was a lecture. we will watch that today. kellyanne conway made more news overnight when she walked back earlier remarks about the tax returns. conway said president trump will never release his tax documents. conway

them brutal ugly shit went down, no counter narratives can test the veracity of what view boards report. guilt of till and mcmurray, when the court-martial transcript appears at the end of the till file. publicity with a vengeance, the transcript doesn't sell the reader as an opportunity as unbiased weighing of evidence. a guilty verdict arrives as a kind of i told you show the detail position to wag the dog. one review board text, the next alleged facts, pick up speed and weight to come, an irresistible avalanche. review board writers adopt the omniscient voice of certain kinds of fiction and nonfiction. but seem to grant readers the privilege of being detached, objective reserves of the action. as if a videocam hovers above scenes and characters. and objective i and dear. it is a convincing account unless a reader understand scenarios presented by the words of review boards are not eyewitness reports of unbiased spectators present during the action but reductions of reductions. testimony in the till file may come from many voices but all voices are mediated by cid agents. these agents

them serious and also ask for further investigation, donald trump today at press conference denied veracity of the document and attacked cnn and called us fake news and that was continued by kellyanne conway in interview a while ago. we didn't detail the allegations inside but detailed that synopsis was included in the briefing. mentions that document and goes on to say that part of our obligation is to make sure that policy makers are aware of any matters that might affect national security. hard to read in any other way than to confirm as part of the obligation they presented this information as we reported yesterday in the intelligence briefing. remarkable statement to reveal a private conversation with the president about this and on a matter that the president has contested boldly in public a few hours before in the press conference. >> and again i think you pointed out important line and important to point it out again. essentially confirming cnn's reporting. >> i find no real other way to read that line. we were already very confident in our reporting. i'll remind our viewers we spok

you could argue this issue both ways, and i don't think what they did tells you anything about the veracity>> fair point. other story. the trump transition team confirmed today that lieutenant general michael flynn, he's of course president-elect trump's pick for national security adviser, that he was in touch with russia's ambassador to the united states just three days after christmas, december 28. the timing of this interesting, because it happened around the same time that president obama was announcing that he was expelling russian diplomats and some other steps in reaction to russian meddling in the election. do you find that timing of that communication at all inappropriate or troubling? >> well, i don't know what the content of the conversation was, but it doesn't strike me as unnatural for a national security adviser designate to reach out to the russian ambassador. after all, that's one of the most important relationships we have where by then we would have been less than one month to the inauguration, and those are two people who are going to have a relationship going forward, so

i have a ton of other questions on policy, the first and ,oremost is truth and veracity what americansd in their treasury secretary, to make sure that they will be doing things and challenging things in the system. in essence, isn't it true that what you did here is take these companies, put them offshore so you could help your clients, who you are making money from, avoid u.s. taxation? mr. mnuchin: no, that is not true at all. senator menendez: you just described that the purpose was to help pensions and other entities -- and the only reason to go offshore, as senator grassley said when he was the chairman of the committee, is the difference between investing in the united states and the cayman islands is the possibility of avoiding u.s. taxes. your clients, you made a very clear that you pay your taxes. i will accept your word on that. but the entities that you are helping and that you were making money from, you were helping them avoid u.s. taxes. otherwise, they could have invested here. mr. mnuchin: let mansion the first part of your question, which i will tell you -- -- i assure

and get a sense of, of, the veracity of what they're saying, makes a tremendous difference. >> abate also told the people here that the fbi is hiring. and that they need to diversify. to better reflect the communities they serve. now, you should also know that virginia attorney general mark herring proposed legislation so that his office could investigate and prosecute hate crimes, just in case the u.s. justice department steps back from that responsibility. live in falls church, peggy >> thanks, peggy. he also proposed legislation to update the definition of a hate crime, to include disability, gender, gender identity. and sexual orientation. >> d.c. police are hoping this new video leads them to an armed robber. shows that suspect, approaching a victim, last year on goodhope road in southeast. they struggled. and that victim was shot. the suspect ran away. the victim was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. d.c. police are offering $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest. >>> it's one of the most tragic events in d.c. history. 35 years ago today, an air florida flight

things we as citizens and certainly we in the press have been watching for in order to assess the veracity of those claims from our own intelligence community, what we have been watching for in part are signs from russia, signs in russia that might corroborate anything that we've been told by our intelligence agencies here in the united states about what russia did. i mean, in public obviously all russian officials, the russian government up and down completely deny all of it. they always deny everything, right? but according to them publicly they say they had absolutely nothing do with trying to influence our election, it's all poppycock. once our intelligence community made detailed allegations about what the russian government did to influence our election we have been since watching to see how russia would react to the detailed allegations. think about it even if you knowing in about how russia operates in particular even if you know nothing about spying other than what you read in spy novels, think about it. if these allegations about what russia did, these allegations from our intell

remarkable how this is playing out, because for months, anderson, donald trump has questioned the veracity and the intelligence supporting the idea that russia was behind the hack. and essentially, donald is coming out and challenging the agencies that will be working for him. i've spoken to intelligence officials who are frankly perplexed by it, that there was some sort of delay with this briefing about that comprehensive report dealing with the election hacks, because all along, as far as i've been told by officials, it was supposed to happen as early as friday and perhaps even later, because this comprehensive report hasn't even gone to the desk of the president. and when this high-level briefing does happen, anderson, it will be the first time that trump comes face-to-face with the leaders of the agencies that he has been challenging and questioning, anderson. >> so it's not clear, i mean, let me just be clear. can we say definitively there was not a delay? or do we know? >> the people i've spoken with in the intelligence community, a couple of officials, have said they're perplexed, b

he said the tone for this press conference when he went not just after the veracity of what cnn and both feed were reporting but after them as individuals and organizations. this isn't a locker room after a basketball game or something where you can go after whatever reporter you want to. the president-elect should act like a presidential candidate who is going to be president in tween 9 days. that is not how a president acts, attacking a reporter personally, laughing at a senator of his own party. police presidential press conference -- on mac setting a low bar and the reporter is justified in being extremely aggressive in a way you don't normally act towards a president-elect or a president of the united states. let's talk about donald trump's reasons for being so upset with cnn. cnn went out and published a few pages of this dossier which was basically a whole bunch of gossip. >> both feed punished it, cnn did not. cnn reported on the existence of it. trish: you understand the distinction. we do verify everything we put on the air. as i said yesterday we can all have an opinion, we ca

new questions about the trump administration's relationship with veracity.resident not happy after a photo tweeted from the inauguration showing the crowd smaller than 2009. he sent the white house press secretary sean spicer to the briefing room to complain. >> photos framed in a way in one tweet to minimize the support it gathered on the national mall. this was the largest audience to witness inauguration period. in person and around the globe. >> several of his claims were false. kellyanne conway has a different way of describing them. >> you did not answer the question of why the president asked the white house press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time and utter a falsehood. it undermines the credibility of the white house press office. >> don't be so overly dramatic about it. sean spicer gave alternative facts to that. >> alternative facts? those are not facts. they are falsehoods. >> people watched the inauguration. that's for sure. it is for sure. this is not something that matters to the american people. sean spicer is set

normalize trump in anyway they wan the to goo directly, actually, in a personal way, at -- you know, his veracityave you ever seen it this personal? >> yeah, the 2016 race has desensitized a lot of us so much of our outrage, those of us who have worked in politics for a long time, we look at the race, and so much of it is a departure from the past p.m. this is the personalization of so many attacks right now, it could potentially be the new normal. >> it's interesting van. >> there are four things that i think progressives are concerned about, his personality is one of them. there's a concern that he's not just a bad role model but a dangerous, air addict person to have on the trigger. there's the personality, then there are the appointments, the personnel. he's putting people in place that progressives have a very hard time with, especially when you're talking about putting people in charge of the epa, who don't believe in global warming. that's -- >> and then third, there's a question of the policies, the sort of rolling back obama care without any real help for 20 million people. the most impo

not confirmed the veracity but not dismissing them. >> was it presented to president and president-elect? >> it was indeed in the briefing materials. >> she was wrong? >> we made this distinction that it was included in the briefings materials presented to both president and president-elect and keep in mind they don't put garbage in briefing materials, waste the time of the senior most people of the country with that kind of thing. i will caveat and this may be what she's referring to, we don't know it's discussed at briefing, went into in depth. including the materials, don't know it was part of the verbal discussion. >> but in the original document? >> it was. >> carl? >> my response, this is extraordinary development in the sense that senior intelligence chiefs of the united states of america have taken this body of information and decided that going into a new presidency they're going to ensure there will be a full investigation of these allegations. and it's very true we don't know the accuracy of these 35 pages of allegations that come from russian operatives, whose information was

their partner, wife or whatever in a domestic setting, that they should have the right to test the veracityfar as it goes. but the law society family division welcomes the government and justice secretary's call for an urgent review of the system so that they can put in place an example —— for example, intermediaries, specialist solicitors, who can pose the question is, because there are, at the heart of the family system, vulnerable children, women and even men who may be victims of abuse. there are issues which do need to be dealt with. and the law society has been calling for a review since 2014, and we very much welcome them continuing to engage with the government and other relevant agencies. thank you forjoining us. details of organisations providing support for victims violence are available at: you're watching bbc news. the headlines. jill saward has died at the age of 51. she dedicated her life to helping victims of sexual violence after being raped at her father's vicarage in ealing, 30 yea rs father's vicarage in ealing, 30 years ago. figures suggest the services sector in britai

>> you know who else has commented on the veracity of the intelligence is his boss, donald trump. so it's not just critics and people suggesting that russia had something to do with in and people who believe the intelligence reports. it's the president-elect himself who has commented on it before the report is finished. i spoke on monday with devon nune se and what he explained to me is that they have long been worried about russian hacking. they have long felt that russia is one of the few countries capable of the sophisticated kind of hacking that occurs when you try and do the kind of things that putin has been up to, and so the issue isn't, you know, were they not capable or were they capable? they are definitely capable. the issue is whether or not some of the things that went on during our campaign actually happened. it's possible that it did, and i think that we know the motive was there and we will find out over time if it happened. >> did nunez say to you he doesn't think that russia was involved? >> he didn't say. what he said he he wants more information. he reaffirmed

with guys who were there, he is clearly pulling their stories because the stories have too much veracity to have been made up and elements that can be proven as fact. i think he is now looked at in that light, and that he called stories and did it as his own. i said, what if i treat barnes and the logbook that way? i will fit the barnes story into the details of the logbook. that's what i wind up doing. barnes plays a continuing role in this, but i can tell you all his actions conform to what i can prove in the logbook. challenge, and this was a big one. today, if you read any study of lincoln at city point, there are good odds you are going to see quoted as a witness a fellow named william h crook. self-proclaimed lincoln bodyguard. did washe things i culled through lots of newspapers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when lincoln lore was really popular. i cannot tell you how popular crook's recollections were. they started out as a washington post article, turn into a magazine article, and then a book. i contacted a lincoln scholar i know named wayne temple, and he who worked

splitting of the board share and ceo positions is a good thing but the fcc will investigate the veracity of a recent press release regarding the blog post and response. i'm at $16 and bought some more yesterday at $15 when it dropped 9% yesterday. it's back 7% today. with the banking and financial institutions trading, bank is the only one out there of any descent market cap not trading near the all-time high. what do you think about that? >> in the first book i wrote about the market. "jim cramer's real money." there will be instances where didn't -- where it will miss a grade opportunity but did an analysis of different accounting regulations that stocks have had and by far the thing to do was to sell not to buy. maybe this is the exception but i go with the rules. dick in virginia, dick? >> caller: hi, jim, you look great after that vacation. you work really hard -- >> thank you. a trip to hawaii was amazing. holy, cow, we're real clean livers, if you want to know the truth. >> caller: on long amgen and i'm flat but with a 3% dividend i'm up a bit and, you know, i know you've talked a

>> that's what everybody is trying to figure out, whether or not there's any veracity here. and the fact that it's somebody from mi6 in and of itself doesn't mean that it's fact. i think this is the kind of report that does require that you have to look at a number of different sources to see whether or not it really is true. you know, you get this kind of stuff -- we call it over the transom kind of intelligence all the time, and you have to question the sources and you have to question the credibility of those sources. i think that's what's happening here. neebs been able to in fact prove what he's been talking about is true. >> you said something there i want to follow up on. you said this is the kind of thing you get over the transom all the time. when you read these 35 pages and the allegations in them, is this the sort of thing you've seen many times, the sort of thing you see in opposition research that one candidate would prepare about another? is this sort of common or not? >> i think it's very common. you get this kind of rnl --esea- i've seen it in politics. you g

but it just -- the structure of it, the comedy, the veracity of it, the politics of it, it is a grabbeen to each other, know about, and still have not gotten over. charlie: what would you say, john? john: it is a great american play that could only have only been written at that particular time when things were popping all over the place. and it covers a wide range of topics. but it does so with human characters. i have not done a style like this since i was in college doing a restoration piece. it is different from anything i had ever done and i am so glad i was asked on board because it is a challenge nightly for me but it is so much damn fun. charlie: nathan? nathan: most people associate this with "his girl friday," a great idea by howard hawkes to make the character a woman. they created sort of the first screwball comedy but the play is not a screwball comedy. it is dark comedy mixed with melodrama that somehow by the third act spins into the edge of farce. it is highly unusual. it was put together by jed harris, the producer who got the manuscript and gave it to george s. kauf
