Twice as spurs close the gap with chelsea at the top of the Premier League. The former us director of National Intelligence, james klapper, has denied there was any wiretap on donald trump what this election campaign. President trump has alleged that his phones were tapped by the Obama Administration without offering any evidence and has asked congress to examine the claims. For North America correspondent, nick bryant, reports. On the sunday talk shows this morning one main topic of discussion. Trump claiming the Trump Campaign was wiretapped by president obama. In his extraordinary twitter tirade donald trump accused his predecessor, barack obama, of being a sick and bad guy who ordered wiretaps at trump tower in a watergate style conspiracy. This morning, the white house issued a statement asking that as part of their investigation into russian activity, the Congressional Intelligence Committee exercise their Oversight Authority to determine whether Executive Branch investigative powers were abused in 2016. But the white house has produced no evidence to back up the president s claims of criminality and seems to be hoping these congressional committees will come up with some. Lets get the truth here, lets find out. I think the bigger story is not who reported it, but is it true . I think the American People have a right to know if this happened because if it did, again this is the largest abuse of power that i think we have ever seen. Senior democrats have labelled donald trump the Deflector In Chief, trying to distract attention from the trump teams interactions with the russians. To understand this, this is the Deflector In Chief, nojobs, no infrastructure built, no nothing. But americas former director of National Intelligence claims there had been no wiretaps. At this point you cannot confirm or deny whether that happened 7 i can deny it. This weekend has seen pro trump rallies around the country, celebrating his successful speech to congress, but the week that began with the president ial reset has ended once again with russia. Nick bryant, bbc news, new york. Our correspondent in washington is laura baker. Iasked ifjames clappers categorical would make any difference. We have had no reaction from the white house. The statement stands. They want the congressional committees to investigate whether or not there has been an overreach and abuse of power, according to the Deputy White House spokesperson this morning. They are saying that if it is true, and they seem to be basing their claims is true, and they seem to be basing theirclaims in part is true, and they seem to be basing their claims in part on reports in newspapers, breitbart their claims in part on reports in newspapers, Breitba Rt News their claims in part on reports in newspapers, Breitbart News and other conservative radio shows, but there was wiretapping in trump tower during the president ial campaign and they said that was an abuse of power and it needs to be investigated and are calling on congress to do that. Opponents of President Trump says he sends these tweets to deflect attention from things he does not wa nt to attention from things he does not want to be discuss. Has he been successful . When it comes to the discussion in washington, this is consuming all News Programmes right across the nation. It is the one topic, it is an astonishing claim by President Trump, that his predecessor has carried out wiretapping on his own trump tower. When it comes to the president ial rule book, there is an unwritten rule book, there is an unwritten rule that when you hand overpowered you do not criticise the predecessor. He has blown the rob webber. When it comes to what was being discussed in washington, that is making headlines. Nancy pelosi, the democrat, is calling him the Deflector In Chief because it is reflecting from the controversy over whether or not his campaign had contact with russian intelligence.

On monday, The Party Braswell Meet to discuss his future. Mr fillon addressed thousands of supporters in paris. If there was only slight doubt at the end of this rally speech, he never spelt out that he would be a candidate to the end. People thought he might be sending out a signal. In this interview he was asked that question directly, are you going to withdraw her candidacy and he said no. I dont see any reason to and no one can make me good. That seems pretty clear. Tomorrow is another day and know there are negotiations going on and phone calls flying all over the place, but as things stand, he comes out from this reinforced in his belief that there is a large pa rt his belief that there is a large part of the centre right electorate thatis part of the centre right electorate that is behind him and he would be betraying them were she to step down. He says i am willing to talk to the other leaders, the party bigwigs, but my position is stronger today than it was before. That is what mr fillon is saying, what about the polling and the general chatter . We know it has been a rough few weeks for him and we know the rest of the party are very concerned because the polling shows that if he runs, he will not make it to the second round, it will be macron and le pen. That is where the pressure is coming from that is bursting at the end of asked week with all these defections, people saying this is hopeless, we were supposed to have this on a plate and now we do not. It is time to get another candidate going, so lets get alainjuppe going. This will give them pause for thought and make them realise this is more complicated than they realised. If only for the simple fa ct, realised. If only for the simple fact, which is inarguable, but mr fillon does have the legitimacy of the primary behind him and if he steps down and juppe takes his place, there are a number of people who voted for fillon who will sit we did that with four alainjuppe and we didnt vote for him for a good reason, which is that he is a soft, centre guy and we dont want that. The real danger is that there will Bea The Real Danger is that there will be a big loss of votes on the road, maybe the marine le pen, if Francois Fillon is hosted byjuppe.

Every year, the delegates to hear their leader s warn of the increasingly complex challenges faced by a modern capitalist economy. Potential risks cannot be overlooked, he says. Warning that reforming the chinese economy is the process is filled with promise, but also accompanied by great pain.

Sergio aguero and Leroy San Mames with the goals. The first minute was tough because we knew, we expected how aggressive they would play, but afterwards we controlled the game and we were lucky. We made a good first goal, but forgot to have time with 10 first goal, but forgot to have time with 1 0 so that is completely different to drawing or losing and in the second half we played really good. I dont think you can fault the players for and if that. Ijust think they give everything they can. We lacked quality at times. When we did get the ball back and we back quite a lot we give it away and had to wait back again. The energy, everything they did, they tried to do what we could to get something out of the game.

Senior russian mp has proposed that Football Hooliganism should be recognised as a Spectator Sport ahead of the world cup in russia.

One south african township, close to cape town, erasing College Graduate is taking the fight against Mental Illness to streets. Andreas believes young people have undiagnosed mental issues and the chance of benefiting from counselling. He is using a brightly coloured van to spread awareness of the problem. Young kids as young as eight or nine, they grew up as young as eight or nine, they grew up seeing terrible stuff, whether it is someone being mugged or being stabbed, violence taking place in their own household. This is my mobile consultation van. This van brings services to kids in the township who come from a family who cannot afford services from a psychologist or a registered counsellor like myself. The kids come when the vehicle passes by, they see this funky looking van, then they realise it is a psychology clinic. It is an innovative way of providing the service, it is more attractive to them than having to go and sit in my office and talk to me. I have got this young guy who just jumped in, you would like to top talk but you cannot come in due to confidentiality. My fear is for the young people grow up in any township is exposure to substance abuse, Peer Pressure and other traumas that the experience and see and observe each and every day. That might set them back from achieving some of their dreams that they would love to achieve for the betterment of the community. What keeps me going and providing this service for free is that i would love to see a young person from the townships succeed and go on Against All Odds and become a role model for the next coming generation.
