Provider. Intelligence and state Department Officials from three administrations now on u. S. Policy toward china and russia amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is the host of this discussion. Welcome to todays program, u. S. China and russian china pandemic.

People on our reporter joins us newsroom with more. Reporter hawaii Officials Say the false alarm was called by human error. The Emergency Management Agency Employee clicked on an actual alert instead of test, and then another screen came up asking the employee are you sure, and then that employee confirmed yes. At 8 05 am saturday morning, the Emergency Alert that popped up on the hawaiian cell phones look like this. Seek immediate shelter from the ballistic missiles. It was very concerning. This is not a drill. And there is really nowhere to go. I just put all of our stuff that might be essential and some food and put it in my bathroom. Reporter the alert caused a lot of confusion and panic in hawaii because that was all of the information that they received. Hawaii test their sigh rings for National Disasters once a month.

You pull up the tweet again, it is rather innocuous, but donald trump has repeated twice over the last couple of days, even as his campaign has said, it is not true. Take a listen to what he said last night, after his Campaign Said this video didnt exist. The tape was made, right. You saw that with the airplane coming in. Mice plane. And the airplane coming in, and the money coming off, i guess, right, that was given to us, has to be, by the iranians. And you know why the tape was given to us, because they want to embarrass our country. They want to embarrass our country. And they want to embarrass our president. Now, carol, this was the second time donald trump told this story. I can tell you, after the first time, i reached out to administration officials, what is he talking about, did he get this in a classified briefing, and for the most part were scratching their heads. They had no idea what h
