The president was pretty tight lipped when pressed about the document by reporters today. The fbi pleaded with the white house not to release the memo. In a rare move, the agency went public on wednesday, saying it has grave concerns about the documents accuracy. The memo was commissioned by this man, devin nunes, the chair of the house intelligence committee. Today, the minority leader in the house, the democrat nancy pelosi, called on mr nunes to resign. The democrats fear it will be used to smear swipe robert mueller, the man running the inquiry into alleged russian collusion with trumps election campaign. Heres democrat adam schiff. This is not about the facts, this is about a narrative that the chairman wants to put out, a misleading narrative, to undermine the fbi, undermine the department and ultimately undermine bob mueller. Of course, the danger in all this, besides the obvious one of politicising the intelligence process, is that it sends a message to the white house that he can fire Rod Rosenstein or he can fire bob mueller and there are members who are so vested in his presidency, that they will roll over. The bbcs Anthony Zurcher has been following the story and gave us these details about what we actually know about the memo. We know how long the memo is, four pages. Everything else we have heard about it has been second hand. By all reports, the memo looks at the intelligence agencys investigation into possible contact between the russian government and members of Donald Trumps president ial campaign, and it alleges that there was this deed is done or an abuse of power in that investigation. In particular, to the request for surveillance of a member of Donald Trumps team, mr page. The memo reportedly alleges this surveillance request was based largely on that famous steel dossier, which contained at least unsubstantiated allegations of contacts between donald trump and the russian government. Essentially what the memo is asserting that is the initiation of this investigation was based on citing the document that had been funded in part by democratic operatives and therefore calls into question the investigation as a whole. If true, thatis investigation as a whole. If true, that is pretty explosive. The governing party in washington saying the fbi, in a way, cant be trusted . Exactly. And it changes the debate on bob Mueller Investigation and the tampering and how they conducted that investigation, so not what they found but how they did it. The idea that it could have started with some sort of abuse of power and everything that follows from that, that would be what the republicans are saying, democrats are countering that. Carter page, this adviser to the Trump Campaign was on the fbis radarfor the Trump Campaign was on the fbis radar for years before so the Trump Campaign was on the fbis radarfor years before so it the Trump Campaign was on the fbis radar for years before so it wasnt surprising they would be interested in him again after it was learned he joined the Trump Campaign as an advisor. This investigation grew out of that everything they find beyond that shouldnt be affected by this one surveillance request. You are being very nuanced and im going to being very nuanced and im going to be really crude here and say are the democrats suggesting this is a hit job on the fbi . I think you are seeing they are suggesting this is political. From a purely Public Relations standpoint, this release the memo has been very effective, we are talking about it, will the memo come out or not . What sort of biases might have been in the intelligence agencies question about is the debate they want to have. Its remarkable to see the fbi releasing their own statement, saying that the memo was cherry picking data and misrepresent their intelligence gathering techniques and what they relied on to conduct this investigation and Donald Trumps and Justice Department has said the same thing. So it is a very strange conflict here, you have within the executive branch, and between executive branch, and between executive agencies and congress. I dont think we have seen anything like this in modern times. Lets spin across the globe now. The british Prime Minister has met the chinese president in the great hall of the people in beijing. She did have Brexit Issues on her mind and ill get you up to date on that later, but this encounter was all about the world after brexit, when she wants the uk to have a bigger, more profitable trade relationship with this booming economic power. In talks with xi jinpin, theresa may said she hoped her visit would strengthen the Global Strategic Partnership between the uk and china. Downing street says the issues of north korea, protecting the environment and human rights were also discussed. One area theresa may wont be visiting is the province of xinjiang, in the far west of china, and home to many muslims. Our china correspondent John Sudworth and his team travelled there, heres his report. Ian looks on in distance, its closer to baghdad than beijing. But this is china. Its far western province, and now the target of one of the worlds most intense security crackdowns. A mainly Muslim Minority have a long history here. Today, fear is everywhere. Under the watchful eye of government minders, there is only ever one correct answer. I know nothing. Life is good here. Moments later, armed police show up. This is the china visiting Prime Minister s never get to see. Police power here is all pervasive, and growing. Millions of residents are being forced to give dna samples. Mobile phones are searched for sensitive religious content, using hand held plug in devizes. And for those suspected of even the mildest disloyalty to beijing, there is now a network of secretive detention camps, in which thousands have been locked up without trial. Close to what we believe is one of them, we are stopped from filming. China is building a total surveillance state. Its a place where seeing, doing or even thinking the wrong thing can get you locked up the wrong thing can get you locked up in an internment camp. And as you can see, its a place where foreign journalists are certainly not welcome. Where ever we go in xinjiang, we are constantly hassled, detained, monitored and followed. Like thousands, this man has fled to turkey. He thought his wife and mother would be safe at home. Hes since heard that theyve been taken to the camps. Translation from Early Morning until late evening she is only allowed to sit on the hard chair. My poor mother has to endure this punishment every day. My wifes only crime was to be born her religion, and because of that she lives in a re education camp where she has to sleep on the ground. I dont know whether they are alive or dead. I cant bear it any more. I would rather they were executed than abused to death by the chinese government. He says he has no idea what happened to his children. Today, the British Government raised its concerns about the treatment of muslims here, including restrictions on religious practice. Such a frank statement in the middle of the Prime Ministerial visit will not go down well. China is seeking the uks backing for a planned to use xinjiangs desert highways is a new economic corridor to central asia and beyond. It insists the threat of islamic terrorism with a number of attacks in recent years is a real one. Can i ask you some questions . Is it difficult to answer questions . But a police state breeds fear. And can stop the very resentments china says its trying stamp out. John mentioned chinas new silk Road Initiative and that takes me back to theresa may in beijing because we also want to draw your attention to a story that is not happening. This is the financial times, pointing out that even under pressure mrs may has not signed up to support this move. Its officially called the belt and Road Initiative and it will vastly expand chinas global reach over land and sea. I spoke the ftjournalist who wrote that piece here are his thoughts. Imean i mean she did in china welcomed the initiative, particularly for the initiatives it would give british businesses but what she didnt do was sign the written memorandum of understanding that the chinese have been putting quite a lot of pressure over the last few weeks on her to sign. I think the reason for that is severalfold, actually. One of the aspects is britains western allies, the us, the eu, germany and france, they havent signed the memorandums of understanding either, although quite a lot of countries have and even some eu members in Eastern Europe power. So diverse reason for not signing it was pressure. Another reason was because the uk has concerns over how the Infrastructure Projects in the initiative are being awarded. Most purely going to chinese companies. And also there are concerns over social and environmental impacts of these Infrastructure Projects. Because this is an absolutely massive project, linked to a series of projects. For the chinese it really matters, doesnt it . Its about Global Economic prestige . M matters, doesnt it . Its about Global Economic prestige . It matters on so many levels. This is chinas bid to change the world, really. It isa bid to change the world, really. It is a signature policy of the president. It embraces 70 countries between europe and china. There are about 4. 4 billion People Living in those countries and all of those countries together account for about 40 of global gdp. What china is trying to do is building and financing infrastructure all across this area, it intends to shift the power balance in chinas favour and thereby start to dictate more the global agenda. It is a tension britain will face again and again, post eu membership. Britain desperately wants to have china as a partner. Britain wants china as a partner. Britain wants china as a partner and desperately needs chinese contracts, chinese trade and yet, as weve just discussed, whats happening in the world now is that there is a fork in the road occurring. One route follows the chinese roots to grow for governments and the other route, which is the current route, is the world created by america since the second world war. The uk is firmly in this camp, and yet in order to get those contracts that china is offering, china would like it to move slightly over into the chinese camp. This is a very, very big geopolitical question. Stay with us on outside source still to come. Scientists have fitted these polar bears with cameras and tracking devices, trying to discover why bears are getting skinny. A man who drove the van into muslims outside a London Mosque has been found guilty of murder. He ploughed into people in june found guilty of murder. He ploughed into people injune last year, killing 51 yard and injuring nine others. Darren osborne was also found guilty of attempted murder. The bbc correspondent Angus Crawford was in quart. Thejudge sent thejury was in quart. The judge sent the jury outjust before three oclock today and it took less than an hour, 59 minutes for the jury took less than an hour, 59 minutes for thejury of took less than an hour, 59 minutes for the jury of eight women and four men to come back with guilty verdicts. Guilty of murder, it guilty of attempted murder. Osborn in the dock made absolutely no reaction at all. What was really interesting about this case was the fa ct interesting about this case was the fact that he didnt come up with any kind of defence until very, very late in the day. Normally a defence is filed very early on, before the case is filed very early on, before the case actually begins but in this case, his defence came very, very late and it was, in the words of the prosecution, absurd. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story is donald trump is a day from releasing a republican memo expected to accuse the fbi of bias against his presidency. And heres a few of the stories making news in the bbc newsroom. The authorities in myanmar say theyll investigate a report of mass graves containing the bodies of as many as 400 rohingya muslims. The Associated PressNews Agency Says its uncovered evidence there, of a massacre last august by the military. Bbc burmese are coving that story. And many of people are looking at this video on the bbc website. Its a paris teenager taking advantage of the citys flooding. As you can see, hes wakeboarding down the street near his home. We have talked about china and britain. As britain gets ready to leave the eu the issue of the transition period has become a political minefield for theresa may. Supporters of brexit want a clean break with europe next march. They worry a lengthy transition could see the uk sliding back, as they see it, towards brussels control. Well, the british Prime Minister today made a stand in perhaps the most contentious area how migrants from the eu will be treated here after brexit. Speaking on her trip to china she said, im clear theres a difference between those who came prior to us leaving and those who will come when they know the uk is no longer a member. The eu on the other hand sees it differently. Heres how theresa mays suggestion went down in the european parliament. We shall make a transition, citizens are part of the transition so the status quo includes citizens in this extended time. It is now notjust the position of the parliament but the position of the parliament but the whole union, adopted in a directive unanimously by the council. It is a red line. Looking at this heres rob watson. Let me keep this short and sweet or short and bitter. Transition is proving difficult because essentially its going to look to most british people that britain will effectively be staying in the European Union for another couple of yea rs. European union for another couple of years. And for some on the leave side of the campaign, particularly inside the conservative party they think, hang on a minute, thats not what we signed up forks and that is why theresa may is making a stand over the issue of immigration, but one i had to say that most commentators here and in europe think she will lose. It is also fair to say that there has been some movement, for example if the uk will be able to make to trade deals in transition. That is true, although a lot of people will to live there wont be many countries in the world who will want to do a trade deal with britain until they see what britains future relationship with the European Union will be. I think stepping back from that, there is a sense really that so far britain has had to give away to everything that the European Union has demanded and essentially theresa may is seen as really basically playing a poor hand badly. Why . Because it is felt she is the weak leader of a divided government and because written is simply not in a position to carry out its threat, to walk away from the talks, because there would be too much chaos without a deal. Donald trump has been in West Virginia are meeting republican lawmakers. The budget was on the agenda, after the Congressional Budget Office issued a warning that the Us Government could run out of money in early march. Pretty threatening prospect, a lot to concentrate the minds . That is right. The Congressional Budget Office as a congressional group. They said there would be enough money to go on until april at the debt ceiling was not raised but now they say it is only up to march. One of the reasons but that they are saying is because the government is earning less because of the recently passed tax bill. You will remember the big tax reform president trumps big legislative victory. It was estimated that will cost the Us Government 1. 5 trillion over the next ten years. But essentially they are saying it is because of that. The debt ceiling is essentially a ceiling for how much the government can borrow. As indias finance minister stepped out of his office this morning there was plenty of promise in the air. But in the end, they delivered the Election Year budget many had expected. And within minutes of him starting his speech, it became clear what the governments main priority was. My government is committed to the welfare of the farmers. For decades, the countrys Agricultural Policy and programmes has remained programmes centric. We had sought to affect a paradigms shift. With elections due next year, the government is looking to improve the lives of the rural population. The governments new help scheme which will ensure 500 million families was the biggest announcement. Closely followed by a tax cut for small industry, which many help will help boost employment. The fact they did it for 90 of the registered companies, rather than the actual business quantity, the turnover, i think that it is pragmatic and a move that will be looked at very well. The government is in a difficult spot. India wants an 8 growth rate but general elections are due in just over a year. The focus of the budget is rural areas, where two thirds of the population live, and the finance minister and the Prime Minister hope that a large voter base will be happy at the very least.
