Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Donald trump will meet with the heads of the Us IntelligenceServices Later today, over claims that russia interfered in the american president ial election. The heads of the cia, fbi and National Intelligence all insist the kremlin ordered a cyber attack to help mrtrumps campaign. But the President Elect has made his doubts very public, in a series of comments on social media. Last night, the outgoing Vice President , joe biden, told the President Elect to grow up, saying it was absolutely mindless not to have faith in intelligence agencies. Daniel boettcher has the latest. Us intelligence is convinced russia tried to influence the American Election by hacking Democratic Party e mails. President elect donald trump has not only dismissed that, but set himself on a Collision Course with the intelligence agencies. Their determination to show that theyre right was made clear at a Congressional Committee hearing. The hacking was only one part of it and it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news. The claim is that a hack designed to help donald trump win was authorised at the very highest level in russia. Something he has rubbished from the start. I think it is ridiculous. It is just another excuse. I dont believe it. I dont know why. Once they hack, if you dont catch them in the act, you are not going to catch them, they have no idea if it is russia, or china, or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. Earlier this week, he appeared to support comments made byjulian assange, the founder of wikilea ks, who has denied russia was involved in any hack. Later he wrote on his twitter feed, the media lies to make it look like i am against intelligence, when in fact, i am a big fan. But then in another tweet, he has again questioned theirjudgment. So how and why are they so sure about hacking, he wrote, if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers. What is going on . Today, some of the most senior figures in Us Intelligence will brief him on what they know. Iam hoping he is going to be respectful of the profession. Respectful of the agency as well as the rest of the Intelligence Community and looking forward to a rather robust, if not sporty discussion on this issue. And there has been blunt criticism of mr trumps approach from his political foes. For a president not to have confidence in, not to be prepared to listen to the myriad of intelligence agencies, from defence intelligence, the cia etc, is absolutely mindless. An unclassified version of the intelligence findings is to be released. Whatever the American Public makes of that information, the relationship between the President Elect and the Intelligence Community is already strained. Daniel boettcher, bbc news. Ina in a moment we will speak to our security correspondent, llera, gordon corera, but first, Aleem Maqbool in washington. These are very strong words from joe biden. Yes, we heard about a Collision Course with the Intelligence Services in america but also a Collision Course between donald trump and members of his own party, who want something done about this, but strong words from joe biden, who also said the way donald trump was behaving was almost like saying that he knew more about physics than his professor, even though he hadnt read the book, hejust professor, even though he hadnt read the book, he just knew that he knew more. There is a sense of that from a lot of frustrated people within the Intelligence Services. Weve now got this situation today, where we have the National Director of intelligence, the head of the cia, and the head of the fbi, who will sit down with him and explained that they now know some of the motivation behind the russian hack, where it was directed from. We also hear that they know who then passed on intelligence to wikileaks, which is where we all got to know about something of what was hacked. But there are those within Donald Trumps party who say, if this is all true and they believe that it is true, then there have to be sanctions against russia, there have to be ways in which russia pays and so to be ways in which russia pays and so far, donald trump has not only shown that he is casting doubt on the intelligence which has already been made public, but hes also shown that he is a huge admirer of donald trump, so lots of collisions and arguments set to be surrounding this particular issue in the coming weeks. Lets pick up, lots of questions raised there but looking at this relationship between a soon to be president and his Intelligence Services, this appears to be unprecedented. There have been fallings out between the Intelligence Community of president s in the past, but i think weve never seen it on twitter, weve never seen this kind of public disparaging of intelligence by a President Elect. Ever come before. I think in that Briefing Room, whats colliding two things, really. The credibility of Us Intelligence, which has been called into question by donald trump, and the legitimacy of Donald Trumps own election, which has been called into question by the Intelligence Community saying moscow and the kremlin supported him. Those ideas are going to collide in that Briefing Room for the first time donald trump is going to have to engage with the facts as they are presented. Does he believe them, does he not . How does he talk about them on twitter afterwards . Everyone below everyone will be watching that closely. The risk is for both of them that they both come out damaged, the Intelligence Community and donald trump, by this struggle and donald trump, by this struggle and to this clash which is going on at the moment corera, thank you.

A clearer picture is becoming apparent. Nicola sturgeon has suggested a so called soft brexit could postpone another vote on Scottish Independence. Scotlands first minister was speaking on the bbcs Good Morning Scotland programme. She said she believed scotlands Direction Of Travel was still towards independence, but that could be put aside in the short term. Lets speak to our scotland correspondent, glenn campbell. What should we read into this exactly . Nicola sturgeon is opposed to brexit, but the position that shes developed is that shes prepared to compromise. In other words, that she is prepared to accept brexit in certain circumstances, in december she set out what compromise she would be prepared to accept, effectively if the uk as a whole was to stay in the european single market, or to argue for a special arrangement that would allow Scotla Nd Arrangement that would allow scotland to stay in, then she would be prepared to take off the table the possibility of a second vote on Scottish Independence for the period of the brexit negotiations. England and wales voted to leave, Northern Ireland voted to stay. And even in scotland, which voted overwhelmingly to remain in the eu, a Million People voted to leave. What i am trying to do is to see whether, with compromise and a focus on building consensus, there is a proposition the maximum she has put together a paper exploring these options. Thats been sent to the uk government and ms sturgeon is effectively saying that the ball is now in theresa mays court. If she doesnt want there to bea court. If she doesnt want there to be a call from the Scottish Government for a second vote on independence, she wants theresa may to move on this agenda, otherwise she says that she will push for the question of Scottish Independence to be revisited. Some of her opponents think siege is she is making demands that she knows will be rejected to strengthen her argument for independence. Nicola sturgeon insists she is genuinely trying to achieve consensus around a compromise. Glenn, thank you. Weve often reported on the problems of bed blocking in hospitals and its knock on effects. But new Research Indicates the issue is even worse in Mental Health trusts in england. The Research Found that in trusts that specialise in Mental Health and learning disabilities, the rise in the number of delayed discharges is double that of acute hospitals. Our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has the details. Oliver lang helps his father run a small post office in norfolk. In 2014, the 27 year old was detained under the Mental Health act. He spent several weeks in a psychiatric unit, but even when he was well enough to leave, he couldnt. Delays in arranging support in the community meant he spent a further two months unnecessarily in hospital. Ifelt like i was in danger in there, because a lot happens in hospital. There, i felt like if someone attacks me, id have to defend myself. But if i did defend myself, and hurt someone, theyd say he is a danger, so thatd keep me locked up for longer. I was trying to be whiter than white. Latest figures show. More than 200,000 bed days were lost by the Nhs In England last october. Physical health trusts saw a 30 rise in the previous 12 months. But for Mental Health and learning disability trusts, the increase was 56 . This former Care Minister says the figures show once more the crisis in Mental Health care. It means theres a shortage of Community Psychiatric nurses, a shortage of support services, like detox facilities, and a shortage in social care, which i think has hit people with Mental Ill Health disproportionately hard. The pressure on Mental Health services is intense and growing. Last year in london for instance, four Mental Health trusts said their Bed Occupancy levels were 100 , that means that every single bed they had was full every single day of the year. Problems in the Mental Health centre damar created throughout. people cant leave its hard to admit other people so we have people in crisis who need a bed and we have people scouring the country sometimes to find a bed we can admit them to. Ministers say they are aware of the problems and will spend £400 million in this parliament ensuring psychiatric patients can be treated at home. Michael buchanan, bbc news. Russia says it is reducing its Military Presence in syria. Ahead of Russias Armed forces said the defeat of rebel forces in aleppo in the current ceasefire meant its mission had been fulfilled. Lets speak to our correspondent in beirut, alex forsyth. What is the significance of the announcement . Russian military forces have played a key role in the syrian war since 2015, providing support to the Syrian Regime with heavy air strikes in rebel held areas. So much so moscow is credited with helping turn the tide with its ally bashar al assad. But at the end of december, Vladimir Putin announced a partial pull out of its forces in light of the ceasefire russia helped to broker, and which despite some violations and ongoing violence, is largely holding. Today the Russian ForeignMinistry Said its Aircraft Carrier and smaller warships which are based in the mediterranean would be the first to leave. Russia will retain a significant Military Presence in syria, but for some they think this is russia seeing it entering into a different phase with the retaking of aleppo and peace talks later this month. But this isnt the first time russia has announced a withdrawal from syria. It did so in march last year, only to ramp up its presence when the fighting continued. Alex, thank you. Our top story this lunchtime. Donald trump prepares to meet intelligence chiefs over claims russia interfered in the president ial election. And still to come a different kind of rock music. Coming up in sport at 1 30. British number one Johanna Kontas hopes of starting the year with a title were ended with a shock defeat. She was beaten by world number 52 Katerina Siniakova in the shenzen open semi finals. An iceberg a quarter of the size of wales is close to breaking away from the Antarctic Ice shelf. If and when it happens, it would be one of the 10 largest ever recorded. Scientists have been monitoring the break up for months. And even though the crack in the ice shelf has got significantly worse in december, theyre not blaming it on Climate Change, but calling it a natural event. Heres our cnvironment correspondent, matt mcgrath. Stretching for around 100 miles, the rift in the ice shelf has grown rich rapidly in weeks. 12 miles of frozen material is keeping this iceberg from drifting into the sea. Collapsing ice shelves are not uncommon in antarctica, as these pictures show these fragmentation is can pictures show these fragmentation is ca n affect pictures show these fragmentation is can affect the landscape, creating icebergs of all shapes and sizes. British researchers who have been monitoring the crack, have discovered the dramatic expansion in the rift that has taken place in just two weeks in december. What we have found, the rift that has been in this ice shelf for a number of yea rs has in this ice shelf for a number of years has broken through another 18 kilomet
