gavin lee, bbc news, belgrade. a us senate committee has narrowly approved donald trump's choice for secretary of state, the former chief executive of exxonmobil. members voted along party lines 11—10, clearing the way for rex tillerson‘s confirmation vote by the full senate. our state department correspondent barbara plett usher explains the challenges around his nomination. well, donald trump likes to appoint billionaire businessmen to his cabinet, but the democratic members on this committee weren't convinced an oil executive was the best choice for the nation's top diplomat. they said they were concerned he would continue to view the world through a corporate lens, that he hadn't been convincing enough about the importance of american values in forming foreign policy. that his past business deals could present conflicts of interest. this kind of sharp partisan split is quite unusual when it comes to secretary of state nominees. traditionally they are approved with overwhelming support from both parties. the
