work to environment, but when we think about how we portray women in games, we added national women's ifaour fe our lead character in star wars this year is a woman. these are the women that you may have seen in videogames 10 years ago. it is a strong, powerful, inspiring leaders that our young women playing these games can look up to and be inspired by. there is not gratuitous violence against women. the them isclo appropriate. that is not something we mandated as a company. it is something our company believed in in transit rate. as -- intrinsically. means changing the representation of women inside our company. we are making headway there. we have a lot of great senior creative and business leaders, including members of our board. third, which is perhaps the greatest place we can have the impact, inside our communities. we reach hundreds and hundreds of millions of people around the globe and we are trying to foster an inviting and inclusive community among gameplayers. we believe by the leadership position we have, we can do that. we are actively taking action around that. emily: onli

ifae we take emily's line graph metaphor and try to extend that out into the future, i think i heardom all of you that we are certainly on a downward slope at the moment, that the relationships at the moment are going to a rocky period but also heard reasons for perhaps cautious optimism, some factors that point to underlying strengths or resilience in the relationship, whether emily's references to congressional support or trade and travel, whether mike's discussion of the attitudes of the cuban-american itmunity especially as pertains to strong operating consulates in both countries that allow the movement of people that the community has become accustomed to come or jorge's i think very salient discussion of narrowly interpreted u.s. interests and how those are best advanced in many cases by a policy of continuity rather than one of change from the prior administration. i guess being a little provocative, does that mean that you are alle optimistic that a couple of years from now we will look back at this as sort of a low point and that these underlying factors will, over time, pu

so ifas you're shopping in persn at a store you can generally kind of find the label if you know where to look and see if it that they make republic or the united states or whatever. for shopping at nine they can be extremely difficult. it's very hard to find. there's not a steady requirement you have to do that. i favor an upgrade in the labeling laws, and i think consumers right to know should be the primaryhe interest. >> host: mr. vittorio, did you talk to those about the influence of things being made overseas and did he getab the idea, many times it can be made cheaper and what is the response to that? >> guest: definitely. we have mr. underhill was we get the way businesses work and the way we shop. he's also a lot of books that get into the psychology. he comes to the question realizing that if something is made in america and some the made overseas and you pay a little more for it, consumers will come out in great numbers and consumers will support that come which is the big theme of her movie is that we have the power to put our money behind things that we believe in. it's no

what ifa houthis, not at the coalition.wouldn't you protect your people? we have had more than 70 ballistic missiles launched at our country. tens of thousands of students who can't go to school because of the warfare by the houthis. civilians who have died because of the attacks by the houthis. in any country tolerate this? of course not. un secretary general antonio guterres spoke to my colleague about this catastrophe. general antonio guterres spoke to my colleague about this catastrophem is not easy. we are making a lot of effort, first trying to make sure that the doors reopened for humanitarian assistant because we have enormous difficulties for publishing in extreme danger. three more un reports talking about the potential... it allows for humanitarian assistance, immediate needs, and will be able to reach out and go on insisting but beyond that we need peace. we need to engage in parties and make the parties understand that this is a stupid war that nobody is winning and it is a terrible price. so many of your suppo

a lot of it is because it fits into th the merit of the reports want to be devian believe it ifa step back and say is this likely often times it wouldn't pass the test. we saw buzz feed news that included donald trump and some things if you read it out loud and you didn't already think he was the devil you think that doesn't sound right. but because of what reporters already think, they are willing to write this stuff without being certain and that's gotten them into some trouble because a lot of people are starting to say your partisanship is coming out, you obviously don't like him and you are printing malicious stuff. maybe someone out there that's watching can show me wrong because i want to look into this, the amount of corrections you've seen the stories are kind of high and those that correct hillary clinton are pretty low because in a stor when a story t and makes hillary clinton looked guilty of something they are careful to make it right because it doesn't fit the interest of what they woke up feeling. with donald trump people don't give him the benefit of the doubt and assi

it will brighten up considerably but ifa it will brighten up considerably but if a picture speaks 1000sums up a this one be the one for today, this sums up a weather across the country, opening the floodgates to let the cold air in from the atlantic. brightening sky is but a biting, gusty, chilly wind. showers outside at the moment, some rain around at whitehall, that will clear southwards pretty sharpish this morning allowing the sunshine to appear but showers following on particularly for wales and the midlands through the morning. at the cenotaph it will be a chilly story and the wind only really adding onto that cold feel. here's the bigger picture across the country at 11am, isolated showers in the south—west and a few further east but generally and a few further east but generally a drier story in the london region. heavier showers in wales and maybe some hail mixed in. a few showers in northern ireland thinning out through the morning. in scotland, in ten showers coming in on the wind to the north and east, especially affecting the highlands and the grampians. look at the arrows

anyhow what it will mean to everyone in northern ireland, the players, staff, oven associated with the ifay fear they could be bankrupted by an ongoing case against former heavyweight champion tyson fury. there are concerns that if he wins his legal battle, he may sue ukad for loss of earnings — and they're understood to have asked the government to underwrite the case. our sports news correspondent richard conway says ukad are still determined to pursue the case against fury. from what i understand, discussions have been held within the ukad board in recent weeks and with the department for culture, media and sport. there is no intention to drop this case. it is the intention, as i understand it, to see it through. that may require the government to underwrite effectively this case if indeed ukad go on to lose it. they are confident, it would seem, in their case. we will see what happens in the months ahead. but certainly thatis in the months ahead. but certainly that is the position as has been outlined. england wingerjermaine mcgillvary has been cleared of biting lebanon captain robbie

people giving up firearms will not face prosecution for illegal possession, but could be questioned ifaked, that is what police forces across england and wales are calling on people to do. the last firearms surrender was in 2014, when 6000 handguns, rifles and imitations firearms were handed in. it is targeted at those who may have forgotten about owning a gun, or who are maybe too scared to tell officers they have won in case they are arrested. the deal is no questions will be asked at the point of surrender, but if the weapon is traced back to a crime scene, they could be called in for questioning. we are realistic enough to realise we are not going to get hardened gangland members who are position in weapons they intend to use, hand in a gun, but this is pa rt to use, hand in a gun, but this is part of our response to try and make it as difficult as possible for those people to come into possession of any type of weapon at all. latest figures show there were almost 7000 crimes involving firearms in england and wales last year. that is an increase of 27% on the year before. but the nu

knows what they have to do and the reality is that what you saw in the last couple of days is that, ifato her was to resign because she had brought the cabinet into question by her behaviour. so that is the right thing to have done and i think theresa may now can get on and make sure she gets the balance right in her cabinet. and who will the replacement be? much has been made of priti patel being pro— brexit and a balance needed in cabinet. will that sway the decision regarding her replacement? well, the number one thing the prime minister has to do, of course, is find the person most able to do the job. we always tend to lose sight of this. in any walk of life you have to choose the right person for the right post. that will be her first consideration person for the right post. that will be herfirst consideration but i think instinctively she will want to make sure that the balance of cabinet as it stands at the moment remains much the same. this is not a cabinet reshuffle. the difference between this and a cabinet reshuffle is in between this and a cabinet reshuffle isina between thi
