He issued a statement through his lawyer, saying. For his part, President Trump suggested that his response would have been different. You know, i really believe, you dont know until you are tested but i really believe i would run in there even if i didnt have a weapon and i think most of the people in that room this room would have done that too. He also suggested some teachers should been be armed with guns. That idea has been met with opposition. The governor of the state said he had been listening to those affected. He said it included some of those who did not want to be pistol packing teachers.

Irregular here. We will be looking through the media later. This story came to the fore yesterday, when we heard that a huge stake was brought in guy millar in terms of shares diamler. Yes, they are looking at whether or not they have broken some of the rules in germany. They own almost 10 of that company and germanys have rules were unique to declare whether you move above three 01 declare whether you move above three or 5 of ownership. It looks as though they have gone straight in to get 10 . They were rebuffed by diamler back in november. They have marched in and bought 10 . A lot of companies in the west generally are grappling with whether or not they wa nt grappling with whether or not they want this Chinese Investment, and china has a lot of investment to give, but the question is whether or not the chinese after the tech that diamler has been developing.

As you can imagine, brexit features the uks most senior Counter Terror officer has revealed four extreme right wing attack plots were foiled last year. Assistant commissioner mark rowley who retires next month described the threat from far right terrorism as organised and significant. He said he wanted to highlight the recent growth of right wing terrorism. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford asked him what role he thought social media has played in being used by extremist groups. I have seen a significant rolling up of the sleeves in the last year, so significant beginnings but they have a long way to go. I will restrict that comment to the biggest global brands, organisations, there are Small Companies scattered around the world who are way off the pace. Once upona time, world who are way off the pace. Once upon a time, they would say that was not their responsibility. In this immature sector online, that is only 15 years old, that is where it started from. They are still wrestling with how they operate and they were too reluctant for too long to get involved when they are creating an environment that allows terrorists and extremists to operate. Bigger companies are rolling up their sleeves. We have a long way to go because it cannot be right that Vulnerable People in this country and many others are being radicalised by people operating online, they are finding terror instructions, who to attack and how to do it, and nonsensical interpretations on why they should be justifying their actions. That should not be readily available, they have a Corporate Responsibility to tackle it. They did say theyjust once the argument was that they we re once the argument was that they were just once the argument was that they werejust pipes, but in my view once the argument was that they were just pipes, but in my view that is nonsense. They need to take responsibility. To be fair to them, they cannot exert editorial control of everything that gets published on their sites. That they can exert a massive amount of control. Both in the day to day management of it and think more in future about how they design their platforms and operating systems and their products. They shouldnt simply be designed for maximising profit but designed with an objective surrounding public safety. Stay with us on the briefing. Also on the programme.

A huge arctic storm has hit much of europe bringing heavy snowfalls and dangerously low temperatures. Lets stay with that story. Ruth mottram is climate scientist at the Danish Meteorological Institute which operates the cape morris jessup, weather station in greenland. Thank you for being with us. Give us your take on what is behind this extreme weather that we are experiencing in europe at the moment. We are seeing the other half of what is happening in the arctic rhino. The arctic has been unusually warm, much warmer than we have ever really seen in our records. Essentially we have pressure that is normally in the arctic, it is weakened, split in half and it has brought in a lot of cold weather in eastern europe, it is cold in Northern Canada and south west greenland. But in northern greenland, and the high actor michael arctic, it is extraordinarily warm. Why is the arctic so unusually warm rhino . What is causing that, do we know . In the high arctic. There two affects, time to time, you have areas in the atla ntic time to time, you have areas in the atlantic and coastal greenland, where there is warm winds blowing through the bering strait. The arctic is being attacked by both sides, partly due to this effect of the weakening happening over the arctic. These weather events occasionally happen but we can say that because the atmosphere is much warmer than it has been in the past, Climate Change is supercharging these weather events. We have more unprecedented extremes. That was my next question, whether this is a Climate Change issue, and if it is, to what extent are we having to get our heads around how things will be different in future . Will this becoming more frequent event . We have seen these events occurring more frequently and becoming more extreme over the last four or five yea rs. Extreme over the last four or five years. Its a little too soon to say that this is exactly how the arctic will be in future but it is in line with our projections which suggest that this will happen. As i said, it is a weather event that has been turbo charged by a warmer atmosphere. And we have some evidence that these events have become more frequent. The problem is, we do not have that many observations. It is relatively short, it is difficult to say that this has never happened before. I do think in our records, that go back to the 1950s, we can see these events happening as they are at the moment. Ruth, a climate scientist at the meteorological institute, thank you.
