flynn was unmasked and then illegally his identity was leaked to media outlets, despite the fact that, and as nsa director rogers said, unmasking and revealing individuals "endangers national security." not only was general mike flynn's identity made available, directorjames comey flynn's identity made available, director james comey refused flynn's identity made available, directorjames comey refused to a nswer directorjames comey refused to answer the question on whether he briefed president obama on this, had briefed president obama on this, his phone calls and activities. directorjames comey told these —— all these types of disclosures threaten national—security and said he would investigate them to the full extent of the law. he also said the leaking . classified the leaking of classified information became unusually active in the time frame in question. it is also important to note both directors told the committee they have no evidence boats were changed in the swing states the president had won. he in the swing states the president had won. meet; in the swing states the president had won. hl? i on in the swing states the president had won. heééfi on to in the swing states the president had won. heééfa on to say in the swing states the president had won. hlg on to say they had won. he went on to say they would find no collusion between moscow and members of the trump

investigating and having improved are two different things. the cia director said there is smoke but no fire. not to my knowledge. no evidence of collusion. there is a point at which you continue to search for something everybody has not seen or found, everybody who has been briefed. i think it is fine to look into, but at the end of the day they will come to the same conclusion everyone else has had. so you can continue to look for something moron that in 100 days after seven o'clock. on google platforms. firm to pull its online advertising from google. rbs, lloyds and hsbc banks have all taken similar measures. this is mr brittin, speaking at an advertising conference

in london earlier today. so i want to start by saying sorry. we apologise when anything like that happens. we don't want it to happen and you don't want it to happen and we take responsibility for it. now, i've spoken to and our team have spoken to many of you. some brands that are affected. some brands that are concerned. when i've had conversations with some of the advertisers, in general what i've found is it has been a handful of impressions and pennies nolpollnd-s- but however small or big, the issue, we need to improve and we need to get better. with me is phil smith, director—general of the corporation british advertisers. good of british advertisers. good evening. what would your organisation like to see google do about this? there is a grave concern amongst advertisers about appearing on google's you tube through their display content against inappropriate content. we think there is a lot more google can do to zeif-fif ii i 124i 7:75 2113.5 257 53: e: ieif-fif ii e 1141 e115 e:111'.e 151 531 e11

g= inappropriate content, some of which is being miss categorised. inappropriate content, some of which 2 being miss categorised. we; inappropriate content, some of which 2 being miss categorised. we have ! is being miss categorised. we have seen examples quoted to me today by some of our members of extremist as news and content categorised as news and politics. so they are bidding at this stage at least - knowing this stage at least without knowing what they might be alongside? correct. how can that be changed? ‘ categorisation and content better categorisation and content verification, a very simple way of doing this, and as matt brittin himself said today, policies need to be increased and when it comes to be increasedandwbeoitcomesto categorisation of extremist the categorisation of extremist material the bar should be raised. the other area is on the tools available for advertisers. we think the default should be set to the the defajt sht'd be set to» the , ~ .,,., ~ ~ 1, the defae't she'd be set te the , ~ .,,., ~ ~ 1, environment the defas't shfis'd he set te the , ~ .,,., ~ ~ 1, environment is safe, by advertising environment is safe, by default, for advertisers, rather than having to pick the controls in some way. we think the responsibility. on some way. we think the responsibility i on google some way. we think the responsibility. on google to sell responsibility is on google to sell a safe product for advertisers, and a safe hredast fer edge-tigers; arsed 111 , . ,, lastly they a safe hredast fer edge-tiger? arsed we w , ,, lastly they m enforcement, lastly they spoke about enforcement, taking down offending material much taking down offending material'moci‘!" that clearly needs to be

the uk, when we enter these negotiations. i have set out my objectives, which include getting a free trade deal, they include good free trade deal, they include putting issues like our continuing working together on issues like security at the - of what we're security at the core of what we're doing. we are going to be out there negotiating hard, delivering on what the british people voted for. the shadow brexit secretary sir starmer said labour would consider voting against a deal if it were not in britain's interests. - prime britain's interests. the prime minister's position, take it or leave it, is a political choice on her part. she does not have to approach it in that way and i think 11'1-1—11111'11 it “1 1111111 111111 11-114 1111’1-1'1' 111-111111111111 “1 i111 1111111111111 111-114 111-1’1-1'1' the 111-111111111111 “1 “1 1111111 1111111 1111-114 111-1’1-1'1' the need for a consensus, for given the need for a consensus, for something in the national interest, she needs to work hard for a consensus between now and - she consensus between now and then, she needs to come back with a deal which can be supported, but if it needs to come back with a deal which ct would upported, but if it needs to come back with a deal which ct would be. )rted, but if it needs to come back with a deal which c; would be. sandwich if it needs to come back with a deal which c; would be. sandwich of it needs to come back with a deal which c; would be. sandwich of the liberal it would be. sandwich of the liberal democrat tim farron said theresa may should be careful to maintain good relations with the remaining members
