binny and also for five agent on a national in the week there are some of the implications as they saw it. 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 and check it for threats or things like that or even. from 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 had 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
1:31 pm
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. it's been a week of diplomatic slip ups again for donald trump on friday last it was reported that he launched into a foul mouth run to the oval office about immigrants several democratic lawmakers who were there claim the president was deeply disparaging about people from central america and africa although he denies it. is implicitly strong language itself salvador and other countries dignity with express our strong protests and then the jets if you reject those sorts of statements but i signed a petition on this incredible declaration because those supremacist graces the
1:32 pm
freshest expression supply. the ones that donald trump used means are people with nothing to. these shocking shameful comments from the president of the united states i'm sorry but there's no other word one can use but racist well as i say very soon after trump took to twitter to deny that he'd used those actual words but he did admit the language he had used in that meeting was as he termed it tough now there fences to mend too with the u.k. it's turned to trump announced thursday he was canceling next month's visit to london he was due to open the u.s. embassy there but pulled out he says over the cost and location of the new building that's been put up although there could be more to it than that as polly boyd reported in the week. this is what all the who is about is the new u.s.
1:33 pm
embassy in the area of nine elms which is being regenerated into sort of an embassy quarter. to the public next week donald trump was supposed to arrive in february or it was widely expected that you'd be cutting the ribbon then 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 diverting attention away from the fact that perhaps the president didn't feel like he was going to be particularly welcome in the u.k. almost two million people has signed
1:34 pm
a petition against him coming here claiming perhaps the most british reason of rule that it would embarrass the queen donald trump arriving here and the mare of london hasn't been too welcoming either take a listen to what susie khon 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. this just reinforces what a mistake it was for to reason made to russia and extend an invitation of a state visit in the first place. but what was this donald trump did kind of appear the new embassy looks pretty realistic doesn't it is a waxwork of course got a bit of a love from construction workers on the overpass of by the statues from london's madame tussauds museum great way to have a bit of a marketing opportunity meantime a local labor party official believes it is clear that trump cancelled because he wasn't expecting
1:35 pm
a warm welcome. we know that it's because he was going to face you know huge protests when he came here he's 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 that 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 that 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 drawbacks of globalisation how globalisation is not working for everyone there are some left behind people and those left behind people flocked around trying to pose for moscow time this sunday thanks for watching coming up the kind of bed time message you really don't want to get a false alarm about an incoming missile sent people know why running for cover and
1:36 pm
bed will tell you about it after the break. some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat period which makes no sense by the way because animals eat other animals and we're supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they don't want to humans eating other animals so in a sense they're saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans don't have a right to eat other animals even though they think we're all equal so some of there's a logical inconsistency there. i think there is indeed a potential to come out of this impasse of implementing the minster agreements by creating the un peace operation this is very sensitive politically
1:37 pm
contributing countries to believe in chile offer troops it's off to decide. they have confidence and they have not. thanks for watching the weekly with me kevin zero in here to international so than . me the kind of text message you really don't want to get from the government telling you to make a run for it because a missile ballistic missile is coming for you that's the message received by people across a while last night causing panic and leave them fleeing for cover. what to do took about half an hour for the authorities to scramble to confirm that there was hoof nothing to worry about and it was just a false alarm a local congresswoman tweeted this no incoming missile the message was sent to
1:38 pm
inadvertently she went on to say whew well the authorities apologized they said it was caused by an employee pressing a button but 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 a story i thought something was wrong it was a false alarm really because the tensions were not there to to start something like this thankfully i spoke to international affairs expert dr serum cheli or about the incident he told me it shows that people there lack confidence in the u.s. government's ability to protect them there is a lot of panic and alarmist that's going around and the united states is fighting the superpower has been fooled by rocket man and i think the buildup in the media about the even and threat of jungle has drawn into the minds of the consciousness of people so even if it was a technical error and the wrong one that was first i think it shows how much it is
1:39 pm
that no confidence in the american society of both the government's ability to protect its own citizens and i don't know why not one or any of the other you want specific data to research should have lots of sleep but they are and actually force that the scare tactics of the comic has risen so much that people are not willing to rely on their government service security guarantees and i think it shows also the traumatic situations figure to manage the not call your crisis in a bit that assures the american population of basic security the early warning system is reinstated in hawaii as tensions grew between the u.s. and north korea of late and the governor is now calling for a deescalation in the crisis earlier in the week linked into all this of course the two koreas did hold their first official talks in more than two years more against him has been following those developments. it went well which is rare to hear these
1:40 pm
days when it comes to the korea's one north korea agreed to send a delegation to the winter olympics in pyongyang chang sportspeople performance for the cultural events it's simple if the north attends the olympics it's much less likely to stage a provocation launch another missile to family reunions relatives separated by the war that haven't seen each other for decades could be allowed reunions the extra month and three perhaps most importantly south korea has proposed face to face meetings between the north's and the south's military officials in order to deescalate tensions at long last alternately to denuclearize the peninsula it's a long shorts but it's a start with number one i think we should be engaged in these talks in an earnest sincere manner to give
1:41 pm
a new year's gift namely the results of the talks to the korean nations. as you mentioned earlier we hope to bring a precious gift to your people but matches the expectations of our people it has been a chaotic year from escalation to escalation saber rattling and childish rhetoric near enough every month the u.s. and south korea would stage war games on the north's borders they'd send a message. they even send nuclear bombers to the north's borders north korea was no less provocative and it tested increasingly advanced ballistic missiles stage suspected nuclear weapons tests and. it now reportedly has the capacity to hit mainland
1:42 pm
united states and kim jong un has boasted he has his own button and his desk is part of who is button is bigger contest with trump which is why these talks were so important they allow for a pause for hot heads to cool off and for titan fingers to ease off on the trigger is. so troubling she is here tracking that in the wake hit snow and snow the country a raft of social reforms following emergency meetings to try and calm days of worsening anti-government protests play subpoenas collating their crackdown using tear gas on protesters who've been growing increasingly angry over planned price and tax hikes the more than eight hundred arrests all told and a major demonstration planned for today to coincide instantly with the seventh anniversary today of that big arab spring uprising.
1:43 pm
at the root of the unrest now the government's austerity plans for the impoverished nation they include rises for basic goods including fuel the own rest began around the same time as the anti-government demonstrations and steadily in iran but when a largely unnoticed by the west. i. think. that all of the root of it is just a canucks it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government putting the demands of the
1:44 pm
following suspend the twenty eight team fine and slow return to the original prices of goods and hire one member for every cool family these are in shorts or demo. what happened yesterday is a violation of the law to sustain of emergency has been declared in tunisia these protests are the result of operations that interview social unrest military or remission and according to the constitution and human rights the people are absolutely free to criticize the government and even for we the government will definitely not tolerate some protesters who work to destroy public property will disrupt public discipline. in the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note of it is a spontaneous expression of fundamental human rights united states stands
1:45 pm
unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves we will not be quite. so shells professor side subject or with the reason the rams protest more coverage than she is here is that one is seen as the enemy of the united states. tunisia is on the move the thing is it's a small country not many people know about that in american society in iran to many in america have been the same in me i mean. in a major obstacle for american policy in the middle east since it's the volution one hundred seventy nine in their case all to you on they are very happy to look at anything. that happens or in this more important to include it in the media to look as if this is the end of the regime so it is totally different. in covering tunisia and. porter. the phone. one of britain's leading girls' schools has decided to
1:46 pm
stop referring to its pupils as girls now in a controversial move to try to adopt a more gender neutral language the school is altering and grammar for girls defended its policy saying is trying to break in grain habit simply to help students with a gender identity issues adding that we welcome and celebrate diversity the said or though some people have already come up with an alternative name a problem it could be for the school itself check this.
1:47 pm
meantime further to this grammar school says it's got no plans to drop the word girls from its title we are some of the locals there what they thought about this new gender neutral policy. i think the majority would be happy to be called girls ridiculous i think girls are girls and boys are boys there's too many pressures on pupils too much attempt to move everything towards gender neutrality i think it's actually leads to more confusion rather than clarification this is a girls' school and it's extraordinary that children are being encouraged to go along the path we're going to have more and more children with mental health problems who are confused and unhappy by all means support children who have a gender issue but don't do it at the expense of the majority do not rob them of their gender identity we only need to apply those basic principles of religions that we treat other people how we wish to be treated and we solve the problem we need to stop for a sting pushing adult neuroses onto these young children. without fault that's the
