BBC News with Jonathan Izard.

Donald Trump¹ has begun the task of filling the top posts in his administration. In a significant move he has relegated² the governor of New Jersey³ Chris Christy from head of his transition team, he's substituted him with the vice⁴ president-elect Mike Pence.

The European commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said Donald Trump's election poses risks to EU-US relations. Mr. Juncker said Mr. Trump 's statement on security and NATO might have pernicious consequences and Europe had to teach the president-elect what the Union was and how it worked.

The International Chemical Weapons Watchdog has condemned⁵ the use of banned toxic⁶ agent against civilians⁷ by the Syrian government and Islamic State militants⁸. Russia and Iran which support the Syrian government voted against the US proposition. The British foreign secretary said the international community was determined⁹ to hold perpetrators to account.

United Nation's human rights official say they have new evidence that Islamic State militants have carried out atrocities¹⁰ in and around Mosul. They have been told that IS has shot and killed scores of Iraqi civilians, accusing them of treason.

Germany has urged other developed countries to support its plans to boost Africa's economy and slow its flow of migrants to Europe. Germany's development minister said the government would release details of what he called a martial¹¹ plan for Africa, a reference to the US program which helped rebuild Europe after the second world war.

The International Monetary¹² Fund has given approval to a 12-billion-dollar loan to Egypt designed to help it out of its deep economic crisis. Earlier a big security operation was put in place in Cairo and other cities to deal with expected mass demonstrations¹³ against austerity. The rallies didn't materialize.

And the American actor Robert Vaughn has died aged¹⁴ 83 after a short illness. Vaughn sprang into international frame through the 1960s television espionage¹⁵ spoof¹⁶ series “The Man from UNCLE” that makes it cool and camp.
