9:37 am
living together migrant is complicated those coming here now are bit different from to refugees who were coming here initially they're more violent and aggressive we're bridgeland people are still being shot it's still dangerous and it's true that people who live near these areas are constantly been disturbed it may. makes the city look bad. it is starting to get skeery firearms were not in the united states here this is still a country where weapons are banned. cali is probably best known for jungle ruling migrant camp with thousands of people living in squalid conditions it was dismantled back in two thousand and sixteen but still migrants come to curley hoping that one day they will be able to cross the channel to get to the u.k. the latest incident comes just weeks after french president emmanuel micron

9:39 am
you're right perhaps he was talking about israel always israel no i don't agree because of the palestinian troubles i don't subscribe to that they're not very good at adapting draw other people i think it's just going to hold a two state solution but do you think israel is a beacon of light yes. because you have to typically i think you peace i think it peace and let's hope for the best he's also said that britain is going to remain one of the closest and best friends to israel so what's your take on that. we will be friends with everybody. us defense department published its nuclear posture review on friday outlining america's nuclear strategy apart from strengthening u.s. nuclear capability the doctrine takes a seemingly tougher stance on china russia and north korea claiming these states represent a unique and complex threat the review also points out that the united states would
9:40 am
not hesitate to respond to a non-nuclear attack using nuclear weapons russia's ambassador to the us has given us his reaction. in order to justify the increase in military spending and the growth in its nuclear capabilities america has come up with a scare story about russia we understand that the ideas aimed at boosting the military budget with trillions of dollars the vast majority of the nuclear issue is word for for the from the obama administration however the underlying tone of it is a throwback to the cold war what president trump declared in his state of the union address was that we need to ramp up our nuclear capability and make us so strong that nobody would be even willing to engage in or even try and gauge what the united states because we have a strong nuclear arsenal that actually is really dangerous thinking and it's almost like into the amateur hour it's a little bit of everything sure it's a throwback to some of the cold war more explicit nuclear threats between the u.s.
9:41 am
and russia and in between the u.s. and other adversaries namely china and north korea but it's also a continuation of u.s. nuclear policy from past decades this is not that much different than what president obama had in his nuclear posture review in two thousand and ten this is more aggressive it does lower the threshold for possible nuclear weapons use and it calls for additional unnecessary types of nuclear weapons but in general this is much of this is the status quo. face because of being urged to pull the plug on a so-called charter tap the children organizations have warned the social media giant that the app called messenger kids poses health and safety with its a quick look at its promotional video. it's a video chatting messaging app for families and kids and it's designed to give parents more control when their kids start to communicate i'm lying. the app is
9:42 am
designed for children aged between six and twelve parents or guardians can control the settings from their own facebook accounts and approve and monitor contacts messenger kids functions include sending text photos and using video chat facebook has defended the platform saying it is a great way for families to connect through emily's will be better off because it exists my daughter uses it on a daily basis now it has enabled me to be more in touch with her critics of the children's hour parkview that they're simply not ready for the dangers of the digital world but those in favor think the app in hans's their online skills. i think and. the emotionally developing and not ready to sort of go into anything like the need more time softly hypocritical for a generation that created facebook to turn around and say that their kids shouldn't
9:43 am
be on facebook because it's making them all happy i do think parents need to be aware that the future is is real and it's happening and that most of their children's lives will be spent inside of the digital cosmos i think the has to be an age limit otherwise. where is it going to end and i think children are just too young their emotional unstable to be able to cope digital cosmos is real it is a real place and it will exist in the future for these children and so we need to help them understand how to navigate the digital world part of that is understanding what the rules of engagement are so keeping kids keeping themselves safe while they're online and understanding what information to share and what information they should keep private we need full with where we're going with and i think education is the k. if we can train them on how to use that but from the age of thirteen. maybe we can solve a few future problems but i do you fear for kids if we take down social media here
