some of the implications. what they really want to do is be able to monitor royce communications or any kind of communications text and be able to assess it and. check it for threats or things like that or even. some of the manipulation programs even respond. and try to manipulate the other person at the other end so i mean all intelligence agencies have this is one of their objectives white papers are generally circulated among contractors who do business with the government so it is a little unusual to see these things out in the public as far as i know the most obvious interpretation would be that this is a pushback against the allegations that have been made consistently for the last eighteen months about so-called russian troll farms and influencing elections across the west and it's interesting to see that the languages that they're advertising for are the language of iran and of course north korea and russia so

that would be a bit of a sort of give away about which countries they want to be targeting. now donald trump three condemnation worldwide when it was reported on friday that he launched into a foul mouth rant in the oval office about immigrants several democratic lawmakers who were there claim the president was deeply disparaging about people from central america and africa. he says implicitly strong language itself salvador and the other countries security with express our strong votes on this and then the jets of. those sorts of states. but i signed a petition on this incredible declaration because those supremacy of braces freshest expressions like the ones that donald trump means are people.
9:32 am
these are. coming. from the president united states. that would. receive. twisted to deny they did use those actual words but admitted that the language he did use in the meeting was tough there was another shot of trump diplomacy two on thursday when he announced he was canceling next month's visit to britain he was due to open the new u.s. embassy in london but he says over the cost and location of the building although it is thought the risk perhaps more to the. reports this is what all the who is about is the new u.s. embassy in the area of nine elms which is being regenerated in sort of an embassy
9:33 am
quarters. of the public next week donald trump was supposed to arrive in february or it was widely expected that you'd be cutting the ribbon and that's not happening any more clearly the old building of the u.s. embassy on that was on the sort of grand old square in the very heart of the city in the center of mayfair which many people know is the most expensive location on the monopoly board but the interesting thing about the president's tweets is that there was a slight error and he accused the obama administration of selling that old building for peanuts it was in fact the bush administration before him and there have been suggestions that this whole embassy rau is a way of. attention away from the fact that perhaps president didn't feel like he was going to be particularly well in the u.k. almost two million people has signed a petition against him coming here claiming the most british reason of all.
9:34 am
there is the queen donald trump arriving here and the marriage of london hasn't been too welcoming either take a listen to what city can has had to say about donald trump it appears that president trump got the message from the many londoners who love and admire america and americans but find his policies in action the polar opposite of our cities values this just reinforces what a mistake it was for it's a reason made to rush and extend an invitation of a state visit in the first place well donald trump did kind of the new embassy it looks really sick enough doesn't it but it's actually a wax work and got a laugh too from a construction workers and the odd passer by said she was from london's magnet he saw the newseum which couldn't obviously resist the marketing opportunity we spoke to a senior local labor party official who says it is clear from canceled because he's worried about facing protests we know that it's because he was going to face you know huge protests when he came here he's
9:35 am
a deeply unpopular man decided to take and there were going to be hundreds of thousands maybe a million people on the street this is the kind of pressure donald trump would be facing if he came over here and he doesn't have the spine to take that you know he as soon as someone insults him he's straight on twitter i don't think it's going to alienate his support base you know there are a lot of angry people out there and trump has manipulated vast anger into into a support base and he's been wholly disingenuous about it but he has managed to whip up a lot of just content about the the drawbacks of globalization how globalization is not working for everyone there are some left behind people and those left behind people flocked around trucks still to come on the weekly a false alarm about an incoming missile sent people in hawaii running for cover this weekend we'll tell you how it happened just after the break. thank.
9:36 am
you should. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so you want to be president. but you like to be this is what before the story of the more people get. interested always at the water's edge.
9:37 am
but again behind me is the kind of text message you do not want to receive from your government telling you you have to make a run for it because a missile is coming but that is the message received by people across hawaii on saturday sparking panic as people fled for cover. and it took about half an hour to see for the authorities to scramble to confirm that there was in fact nothing to worry about it was a false alarm a local congresswoman tweeted there is no incoming missile the message was sent out inadvertently the authorities have apologized and said it was caused by an employee pressing a button by mistake the head of hawaii's emergency services explained why he knew it wasn't a genuine alert i saw this today when i heard
9:38 am
a story i thought something was wrong it was a false alarm really because the tensions were not there to start something like this. now the u.s. embassy in iraq and i had some chief say that one hundred fifty million dollars will be spent rebuilding cities left devastated by the war on islamic state but that is only a fraction of what america has earmarked for its ongoing military operations there more against the f. has more details what does this look like to you mad max resident evil know this is mosul or rather what's left of it quote a sea of thousands of air strikes we feel this a few weeks ago and nothing's really changed from when we were there last this is what the aftermath of a classic airstrike in mosul look like neighborhoods that numbered in the thousands it's been reduced to a handful. the iraqi army and the u.s.
9:39 am
led coalition seem to make sure to not leave a square meter scorched earth talk of precision i haven't yet seen a single house in mosul untouched by fighting the neighboring street all but destroyed the street across rubble the street over there. it's the same story wherever you look cities and towns that house millions devastated husks even now in mosul you are never far from the stench of rotting bodies or unexploded bombs help reconstruction no one seen any of that you'll be at the. ok i did day and was little when it was. doing. well she's
9:40 am
a little hungry alice get over it if you know you go to school in the system. what else is there to do in mosul like she said it was and just it was during the holocaust. that if she ever put it to you. as strange the u.s. had pledged to help and do what it's bombs did they're already helping fund reconstruction iraq says it needs one hundred billion dollars to rebuild and the united states has doubled its pledge to one hundred fifty million dollars or about zero point one percent of what iraq needs and no one seems to have seen any of that but a city in your city if you had much if you. did you would. all die for. don't want sherman.
9:41 am
i love comedy not the shouting he about i would die i said i hadn't this way now my god now one of the magical set had it now after shiny. went up five as i had the saw to that a small and dissatisfied many of us said so now what about the left to send a message that the numbers are an entirely different leagues what the united states spent on burning isis out of iraq and what the us has pledged to rip. pare the damage it did are entirely in comparable numbers the average cost of a u.s. air strike in iraq at the beginning of the operation very roughly counting fuel flight time cost of bombs made in uncertain military pay was half a million dollars for one of their strike they carried out fourteen thousand strikes in iraq alone and after helping turn a rocky cities into these all the complex has one hundred fifty million dollars the

9:45 am
and least looks really bad for the prime minister and it doesn't look like you know someone who wants to be a leader of a of a country to have his son running around in a government vehicle doing things you know don't look so complimentary and is not the kind of why the prime minister would want to do whether it's a danger to the prime minister or undermines no i mean it's a self undermining thing and the reason he did it is because it looks bad but you know we're in a democratic country and as long as. he's living in the prime minister's residence i may have to answer some questions. now the shops of the clothing retailer h. and m. have been the focus of protests in south africa the firm is branded racist to during the week over a picture of a black boy in a hoodie with the words monkey in the jungle printed on it.
9:46 am
i was police in johannesburg five rubber bullets to disperse crowds out to demonstrate his trashed in one thousand m. store there the retailer has already removed the picture and apologized but that hasn't stopped the backlash people on social media were also outraged. marketing him down puts a black child in a hoodie that reads and the coolest monkey in the jungle and the white child is the survival expert and now fox are pretending like they don't know the black children have long been racially characterized as monkeys. is just irony i highly doubt they will like let's put the monkey who are. making it seem there is a word supremacist who works for h. and thought it was funny to make a black board model who did the coolest monkey in the jungle so was the racially insensitive insensitive we got opinion from from spike magazine and also the emmy for daddy she's from models of diversity the whole issue is with this other
9:47 am
thousand campaign it's an advertising company the. international it's an international campaign and it's so obvious that if you're going to use a connotation like monkey whether a child is a monkey you're going to choose a black child hold for the company and the child as a survivor of the jungle there is not going to have connotations it's ridiculous to think it's not going to have any contagions whatsoever i think is a really sad i think what has happened to the word monkey has been used because this boy is a child and the word monkey is used to describe children of all races because they're cheek and mischief and you can see this across children's clothes for children of all races and this was part of a jungle for clothing line the idea that this was somehow racially malevolent i think is utterly ludicrous i'm so disappointed by this campaign i've seen them do they always use a mix of models but this is really not you know ill timed to say the least is what
9:48 am
this campaign is it's really badly thought by a board of directors because even if it was even if there's that opinion it's just like buckley thought it might be parents that are negatively thinking about this you cannot deny. why the connotation that it helps i don't think this has that connotation for the vast majority of people the vast majority of people think this is a perfectly innocent campaign involving children of all races involved in the jungle would be much in the weekly here and i could have a company to soften in more news in about half an hour's time but don't forget if you don't like the stories and want to. go to our website. i think there is indeed potential to come out of this impasse of implementing the
