jo, jo, it‘sjust jo, it‘s just shocking when we hear this sort of thing, and we hear it all too much, she is not alone, a lot of other people have been reacting to this today? yes, understandably this story has provoked a lot of anger and concern from people across all sports. karen carney has put out a statement on twitter today, saying, this kind of abuse is abhorrent and upsetting and unacceptable. it was swiftly reported... she goes on to say... she says she wants just to prepare for her match in birmingham at the weekend. maurizio sarri today labelled the abuse disgusting, philip neville, the england manager, said it was disgraceful and he called on instagram to remove the user who sent the abuse, which they have now done. whilst her england teammate is a christian son said it should never even be possible for such hideous comments to reach players. people are clearly disgusted by what has happened understandably. as you mentioned, the police have been involved and the police have been involved and the football association are taking this extremely seriously, what have they said?

jo ling kent has more. jo, good morning. >> good morning. it's expected to be run of the biggest retail seasons ever, with more than a trillion dollars up for grabs being spent both online and off. and now target is competing with walmart and amazon aggressively announcing new free two-day shipping for customers without any minimum purchase or membership starting next month. the move comes after walmart rolled out free two-day shipping for products from third parties on its website over the coming months. also touting free two-day shipping on any order $35 or more. and amazon now offering prime customers who pay $119 a year free one-day shipping for purchases of $35 and up. and experts say consumers will not be paying for the shipping through higher prices. >> when it comes to free shipping, it's not the customers that'll end up paying the cost but the companies that provide the product. the prices that the customers pay have already been predetermined. >> reporter: that's good news for shoppers. according to a new survey, 88% say it's more important to have their packages ship for free than to get them fast. as major retailers compete to show customers how low they can go. and every single dollar is going to count this holiday season. online shopping and shopping in general is expected to be up about 4% according to the national retail federation. so there's a lot of money on the line. phillip? >> sure is, joany people want the happiest place on earth to be their final resting place according to the "wall street journal." former and current custodians for disney parks are reportedly spilling secrets about vacuuming up human ashes throughout the magic kingdom. while disney says this behavior is strictly prohibited, custodians tell the "wall street journal" they have found ashes on lawns, outside park gates, and most frequently all throughout the haunted mansion. well, that just makes the mansion even more scary. >> if it was not haunted before, it is now. hope your thursday's off to a great start. i'm phillip mena. >> and i'm marlie hall. be sure to follow usanother sus this one allegedly se >>> breaking news at 4:30. another suspicious package. this one allegedly sent to property owned by actor robert de niro. this is video of that package being hauled away by the bomb squad. >>> let's get right to it. the most recent package sent to lower manhattan building ucti, offices of de niro's trib

jo ling kent got an exclusive look inside reddit headquarters and joins me now. jo? >> hey, ali. so often those great memes you see online and misinformation and conspiracy that make it into american discord, they all start on reddit. so we went inside reddit headquarters for an exclusive interview with the ceo to find out how this powerful social network is battling information from russia and so much more. on reddit, there's something for almost everyone, from cute cat pictures to sports, to racist screeds and revenge porn. it's the fifth most popular site in the u.s., run by just 400 people. famous for its "ask me anythings," or amas, where newsmakers from major celebrities from reddit's ceo, steve huffman, take questions from millions of users. the social network also battling foreign attempts to influence the upcoming election. is reddit ready for the midterms? >> i think so. i think so. >> reporter: but when we visited, huffman admitted in an ama, that suspicious accounts from russia have attempted to put up a thousand posts in 130 different parts of reddit in the last month. so how are you responding to that? the midterms are just a few weeks away at this point. >> we actually have a handful of teams working on this topic here. the biggest thing that we can do is ensure the authenticity of the content on reddit and the -- and that the behavior on reddit is not manipulative. >> reporter: like facebook, reddit is building a war room for the midterms. protecting the platform against foreign interference and misinformation is critical, because it's become a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, violent threats, and racism that unfold in real life. like the charlottesville unite the right rally last year. and in april, reddit released a list of 944 accounts, it says, were created by russia's troll factory, the internet research agency. these accounts posted often in popular sub-reddits like funny and gifs, but also racism and trump supporters. at what point do you draw the line and say, this content that's being expressed here, that's not okay. >> no matter where you draw that line, there will be people living in the gray area on both sides. so there are examples where it's very, very obvious, you know, in both directions and those are the easy cases. but in the middle, we do spend a lot of time thinking about these things. >> reporter: reddit's millions of communities or sub-reddits are largely moderated by volunteer moderators who help enforce policies and remove comments that break the rules. but it's a near-impossible task, like twitter, youtube, and facebook, keeping a massive unwieldy deeply influential social network under control. >> the best, i think, approach we can take is to make sure it's a fair discussion. but i think as citizens, we also have a responsibility to speak out against things that we disagree, and to vote against people that we disagree, and to stand up for our values. >> now, steve hoffman, who you just saw there, the reddit ceo, also tells me they are focused on transparency and evolve aing quickly as they can to fend off those threats ahead of the midterms and beyond. >> so when you talked to him about it, he said he wants to ensure the authenticity of things on reddit and ensure behavior that was not manipulative. i saw you pushing him a few times about, are you ready for exactly that? what a lot of people blame about for misinforming people around the elections. >> they're definitely taking a look back at 2016 and looking ahead to the midterms in just a few weeks. the ceo tells me that they are constantly getting involved and they're evolving to fight this election fight. they think it's going to be a little bit easier, because they've got a team dedicated to it now and they've become more sophisticated this time around and they have more tools ready to go, but, of course, we won't really know those results until the day after the midterms. >> right. and even then, we may not know, because you don't really know what the effect of this inauthentic behavior is. you and i have covered so long on facebook. you don't know what it means. you don't know whether somebody just didn't go vote because they had misleading information or their vote was suppressed because they were seeing things that were inauthentic. i don't even know if we'll know after the midterms. >> yeah, it's really hard to measure that type of thing, especially coming out of 2016. but more than ever, these social networks are able to at least use some metrics to put together an estimate of what may have done. but they're trying to turn around. the real question for me and from my reporting here is the speed and the effect i haeffecto most important things. >> jonks for the reporting and the interview. >>> coming up, democracy is work. we have to pay attention, we have to vote, we have to take a stand for what we believe in. the problem is, too many of us don't do any of those things. up next, i'll talk to a reporter on a new piece that examines why americans aren't practicing democracy anymore. you're watching msnbc. anymore. you're watching msnbc. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. are you paying too much and getting too little with your current medicare plan?

jo whiley is going to end afterjust a few months on air. after eight years of hosting the show, simon mayo is leaving the station altogether to focus on his writing. jo all four of his limbs amputated after suffering a severe bacterial infection has begun training to climb one of africa's highest mountains. alex lewis from hampshire will climb the ras dashen mountain in ethiopia using a specially designed pedal buggy that he powers with prosthetic arms. he says he's doing it to help raise awareness of disabilities in africa, as duncan kennedy reports. when alex lewis had all his limbs amputated, he struggled to find purpose with life. but this is alex now. with this ground—breaking buggy, he's now training to go up one of africa's highest mountains. so far so good. the buggy is powered by alex's rotation action, which creates electrical energy in the back wheels, that in turn pushes him forward. we will get to the top of the mountain somehow, whether i have to shuffle up the last 300 metres, whether we have to be hoisted up, it doesn't matter, we will make it to the top of the mountain, by hook or by crook. the buggy can climb gradients of 30%. well,
