Donald trump seems to be at odds with some of his key Cabinet Nominees on some of the vital questions facing the new administration. His choice for new head of the cia, mike pompeo, has strongly endorsed the work of the Us Intelligence Community Hours after it was criticised by the President Elect. And generaljames mattis, nominated for defense secretary, accused russia of trying to break up nato and of being a threat to europe in contrast to mr trumps wish for much closer ties with President Putin. Our correspondent nick bryant reports from washington. A week before inauguration day, its usually an
understand the russian experience over the last century has been horrible at times. they were invaded by the germans. you had the siege of stalingrad and leningrad. you had stalin. you had stalin. and the czars before that. a country who perhaps as a result the leadership of this country may be cynical, may be very hardened, may think that the world is a brutal and awful place. and chemical weapons in the general scheme of things, if they threaten us that s bad, but you know, we actually don t care that much about some of these other conflicts because we ve seen a lot of blood shed and i just don t think you see quite the same moral outrage about some of these issues you see in the united states. they ve had a much more brutal recent history. interesting thing is from 1945 right till 91 the fall of the moscow coup the two countries never fought with each other. that s one of the great realities of history. there is some rationality on their side. i think khrushchev was incr
