donald trump threatening to destroy the country if it carried on with its nuclear programme, this isa on with its nuclear programme, this is a diplomatic step. we have more on our website. in other news: facebook‘s founder mark zuckerberg said his company will share details about 3000 russian linked political adverts with us investigators. he pledged to make political advertising more transparent on his network in the future. we are actively working with the us government in ongoing investigations with russia interference. we have been investigating for many months and fora been investigating for many months and for a while we found no evidence of fa ke accou nts and for a while we found no evidence of fake accounts lit two russian fa ke of fake accounts lit two russian fake news adds. where we found some, we briefed congress and this morning i directed at team to provide the ads we found the congress as well. just a section of his live address. let's get a little bit more on this because the technology correspondent dave lee joins because the technology correspondent dave leejoins me from san francisco. these adverts were never for a particular candidate? no, they we re for a particular candidate? no, they were focused around political hot topics, things like immigration and they were targeting american voters in the run—up to last year ‘s presidential elections. they say compared to the vast amounts of advertising it was quite a small number but the source was concerning to facebook and of concern to the investigation into russian meddling in the election. that is what they are looking at closely now. in terms of the kremlin, only last month they we re of the kremlin, only last month they were saying they had absolutely nothing to do with these? they flatly denied they were behind the adverts and indeed the group they are linked to is what they call a troll farmer. it is based in saint petersburg and they are known to be a presence on the internet pushing pro— kremlin propaganda. as you mentioned, the russian government has said it has nothing to do with us has said it has nothing to do with us but quite frankly, that denial is not given much respect, frankly. that is what you would expect the russian government to say about this. what you make of facebook saying they are going to share information with investigators because they have been under enormous pressure to do so?l because they have been under enormous pressure to do so? a lot of pressure. a lot of people want them to make those advertised at public. they said they are not going to do that themselves but they expected the committee, the senate committee, to perhaps do that at the end of the investigation. what is also interesting is their move to be more transparent about political advertising. they are looking to bring some of the rules people would be familiar with when they see political rod casts on television —— rod casts. —— broadcast. political rod casts on television —— rod casts. -- broadcast. thank you very much. also making use today, at least 15 people have been killed, 20 other people still missing after hurricane irma we are hit the caribbean island of dominica. —— maria. power is still out for more than 3 million people. it is nothing short of a major disaster. it was still a category four storm when she hit the island and brought wide spread damage. there is a small village that has lost the vast majority of its homes. in the capital, we are still without electricity. no sign of that being backed by perhaps a couple more days. the infrastructure is creaking, the island is a seriously in debt, it is bankrupt and the last thing it needed was a storm with the size, and ferocity of hurricane irma we are “— size, and ferocity of hurricane irma we are —— maria. size, and ferocity of hurricane irma we are -- maria. six top cat and officials will be fined every day if they continue organising an independent referendum. among them, from the catalan treasury, one has been held on the dish we charges. —— sir charges. the lost property office says it has seen a spike on teddy bears after the summer season with more soft toys than usual being handed in. the airport is launching a new teddy pack the people to write their details and tight to their toys before getting on their flight. if you recognise any, get in touch! in mexico city, authorities say none of the children trapped when the school collapsed after the earthquake has survived. the president says there could still be people alive in ten collapsed buildings. 273 people are now known to have died and thousands more have been injured in the quake. the rescue efforts became all the more desperate in mexico city. (sirens) volunteers hung on to moments of hope but, in all the confusion, none really knew what the ambulances were carrying away. at any rumour of life in the rubble, the call went out for doctors or more of the soldiers who'd been deployed. the focal point became the school where children and teachers had been missing. for a time we were given access to the schoolyard, with rescue workers, right beside the collapsed three—storey building. there was a dramatic moment where it was announced all efforts were now to be focused on a 13—year—old girl they thought they'd made contact with. then one of the teachers from the school, who's been waiting here for hours, was called forward and escorted to what remains of the collapsed building, potentially a familiar voice for a trapped girl to hear. through the night, rescuers worked at the site, tunnelling through the debris and using specialist rescue cameras to locate those buried. it appeared someone was rescued overnight, but his condition is unknown. much of the news in the past 2a hours, though, has been bad. it's believed the body of a teacher was pulled out. with seemingly all of mexico holding its breath for news from the school, an officialjust came out with a devastating announcement. that while all children have now been pulled from the rubble, no more came out alive. the operation, though, continues, because rescuers say they believe someone who worked at the school is still trapped alive. it's hard to use heavy machinery to free her, though, because of the risk of causing further collapse. the work is so delicate, says hector mendez, head of one rescue brigade, we have to do everything by hand or chisel, with hammer or handsaw. if we don't, you could cause something very serious. volunteers and experts came together at this school, giving traumatised parents, the school community and a nation hope that more children would be found alive. now though, that has all turned to a sense of grief, even more acute than before. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in mexico city. protests have been held in manila against president rodrigo duterte's war against illegal drugs, alleged extra —judicial killings, and
