:00:17. > :00:19.The Americans have blamed the Assad regime as the President signalled
:00:20. > :00:24.I will tell you that it's already happened,
:00:25. > :00:31.that my attitude towards Syria and Assad has changed very much.
:00:32. > :00:35.At the United Nations, the US ambassador went a step
:00:36. > :00:37.further than the President and challenged the Russians
:00:38. > :00:47.How many more children have to die before Russia cares?
:00:48. > :00:56.And Moscow's suggestion that civilians were poisoned by rebel
:00:57. > :01:02.Also tonight: At Westminster Abbey a service of hope following

:01:11. > :01:20.As persecution of Rohingya Muslims intensifies, we ask the leader
:01:21. > :01:24.of Myanmar if she's failing to stop a process of ethnic cleansing.
:01:25. > :01:29.I don't think there's ethnic cleansing going on.
:01:30. > :01:32.I think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use

:01:38. > :01:42.that the UK should pay for an exit fee for leaving the EU.

:02:36. > :02:38.President Trump called it a terrible affront to humanity.
:02:39. > :02:41.But Mr Trump's Ambassador to the United Nations
:02:42. > :02:43.went a step further, accusing Russia of helping Syria
:02:44. > :02:55.Our correspondent Nick Bryant reports.
:02:56. > :03:01.Five-year-old Ibrahim went to bed and woke up to the latest horror in
:03:02. > :03:05.Syria's unending war. His grandmother was at his hospital
:03:06. > :03:09.bedside caring for him and his sister because their father was
:03:10. > :03:15.killed in the attack. Lives ended, lives ruined by a toxic
:03:16. > :03:18.cloud that filled victims' lungs with poison.
:03:19. > :03:22.TRANSLATION: My grandchildren were sleeping. Everyone woke up to a loud
:03:23. > :03:28.noise. They went outside and that's when they came across the chemical
:03:29. > :03:34.attack. They just fell to the floor and died. It's all too easy to
:03:35. > :03:38.become desensitised to the suffering of the Syrian people but consider
:03:39. > :03:44.the plight of this man, he lost 20 members of his family, including his
:03:45. > :03:49.twin children, killed in a second explosion.
:03:50. > :03:54.TRANSLATION: I left them in good health. Why did this happen? I went
:03:55. > :04:00.to help other people and thought my children were OK. Now they are gone.
:04:01. > :04:04.Yesterday, Donald Trump derided his predecessor Barack Obama for warning
:04:05. > :04:08.the Assad regime that using chemical weapons crossed a red line but not
:04:09. > :04:14.following through on that threat. But today in the setting of the Rose
:04:15. > :04:20.Garden he deployed similar language himself himself and signalled a
:04:21. > :04:26.change in thinking on Syria. These heinous actions by the Assad regime
:04:27. > :04:31.cannot be tolerated. My attitude towards Syria and Assad has changed
:04:32. > :04:42.very much. It cost a - crossed a lot of lines for me. In an angry session
:04:43. > :04:46.at the Security Council. Diplomatic protectors Russia but Moscow claimed
:04:47. > :04:49.Syrian rebels were to blame for the deaths.
:04:50. > :04:54.TRANSLATION: The Syrian air force conducted an air strike on the
:04:55. > :04:57.eastern edge of Khan Sheikhoun on a large warehouse of ammunition and
:04:58. > :05:03.military equipment, on the territory of that warehouse there was a
:05:04. > :05:08.facility to produce ammunition with the use of toxic weapons. But that
:05:09. > :05:11.prompted this electrifying moment of diplomatic theatre, the US
:05:12. > :05:19.ambassador Nikki Haley getting to her feet and holding up graphic
:05:20. > :05:23.images of the dead. Then, eye-balling her Russian counterpart
:05:24. > :05:27.she blasted Moscow. If Russia has the influence in Syria it claims to
:05:28. > :05:35.have we need to see them use it. We need to see them put an end to these
:05:36. > :05:39.horrific acts. How many more children have to die before Russia
:05:40. > :05:43.cares? Today we saw the usual divisions at
:05:44. > :05:47.the Security Council, the usual deadlock over Syria. And the usual
:05:48. > :05:55.inability of the international community, even to agree about basic
:05:56. > :05:58.facts on the ground. This is the deadliest attack in
:05:59. > :06:02.Syria after nearly four years. After 2013 the Assad regime was supposed
:06:03. > :06:06.to have handed over its chemical weaponses stockpile. But it's
:06:07. > :06:11.continued to use banned toxic weapons and experts believe the
:06:12. > :06:15.evidence points to Damascus having carried out another war crime.
:06:16. > :06:21.Wrecked buildings and ruined cities are usually the grim landmarks, but
:06:22. > :06:25.today it was empty streets and signs that warned of the poison still
:06:26. > :06:28.contomorrow Nating the air. -- contaminating the air.
:06:29. > :06:33.Let's go to Washington and our North America editor, Jon Sopel.
:06:34. > :06:39.The President talks about changing his attitude to the Assad regime,
:06:40. > :06:43.what should people read into that? He also said that President Assad
:06:44. > :06:47.had crossed many lines in carrying out what he did. He said he was
:06:48. > :06:51.shocked and it couldn't go unanswered. The clear implication of
:06:52. > :06:55.which is that the President would favour some kind of military action
:06:56. > :06:58.to be taken against Syria. But what? Just because you have a new
:06:59. > :07:02.President in the White House doesn't mean that the kind of equation has
:07:03. > :07:06.changed, that Barack Obama had to deal with. What would be the
:07:07. > :07:09.objective of military action, what would success look like, what would
:07:10. > :07:14.mission accomplished be? That is not to mention Russia. We heard there
:07:15. > :07:20.from the ambassador Nikki Haley saying that Russia was shielding
:07:21. > :07:24.Syria from further sanctions. From President Trump we heard nothing
:07:25. > :07:29.about the word Russia. He didn't mention Russia. Where do the America
:07:30. > :07:33.Americans stand and how could they take military action if Russia is
:07:34. > :07:38.alongside Syria? In the context of this security strategy a very
:07:39. > :07:41.important change today in the President's staffing? The most
:07:42. > :07:46.important person in the White House, apart from Donald Trump, is a man
:07:47. > :07:51.called Steve Bannon, he is the chief strategist and he was a permanent
:07:52. > :07:53.member of the National Security Council even though he had no
:07:54. > :07:57.national security experience. He was the insurgent, the man during the
:07:58. > :08:01.campaign who said he wanted to tear down the walls of the establishment,
:08:02. > :08:06.wreck the state, he described himself as a Lennonist. He has been
:08:07. > :08:08.moved off the National Security Council. In normal politics you
:08:09. > :08:13.would say if someone influential has been moved he must be on his way
:08:14. > :08:17.out. I think that's premature to say about Steve Bannon. He is the
:08:18. > :08:20.architect of America First. Yesterday we heard Donald Trump
:08:21. > :08:26.talking about I am not the President of the world, I am the President of
:08:27. > :08:29.America. Sometimes the world impinges in ways the President
:08:30. > :08:33.wishes it didn't. With Syria today, tomorrow he is meeting his Chinese
:08:34. > :08:38.counterpart, where the topic will be North Korea. National security
:08:39. > :08:43.issues often define a US President. Thank you very much.
:08:44. > :08:45.A service of hope and reconciliation has taken place
:08:46. > :08:48.at Westminster Abbey, a fortnight after the attack
:08:49. > :08:50.on Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament.
:08:51. > :08:53.The service took place to remember the victims of Khalid Masood
:08:54. > :08:57.who drove a car into pedestrians and stabbed a police officer.
:08:58. > :09:00.At the Abbey, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry joined
:09:01. > :09:02.those attending the multi-faith service, as our royal correspondent
:09:03. > :09:14.Two weeks after shocking events which occurred almost
:09:15. > :09:18.within its precincts, at Westminster Abbey
:09:19. > :09:23.Leaders of the different faith communities from across
:09:24. > :09:27.the United Kingdom were joined in the congregation by the Duke
:09:28. > :09:30.and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, together
:09:31. > :09:33.with members of the emergency services, some of those
:09:34. > :09:36.who were injured and some of the bereaved, including
:09:37. > :09:42.Melissa Cochran whose husband Kurt was one of the four people who died.
:09:43. > :09:47.Candles were lit to represent the light which can
:09:48. > :09:52.never be extinguished by the darkness of terror.
:09:53. > :09:56.In his address, the Dean of Westminster recalled that among
:09:57. > :09:59.those who were directly affected by the attack were people
:10:00. > :10:06.He posed the question so many have asked - why?
:10:07. > :10:10.What could possibly motivate a man to hire a car and take it
:10:11. > :10:14.from Birmingham to Brighton to London and then drive it fast
:10:15. > :10:18.at people he'd never met, couldn't possibly know,
:10:19. > :10:23.against who he had no personal grudge, no reason to hate them
:10:24. > :10:27.and then run at the gates of the Palace of Westminster
:10:28. > :10:39.We weep for the violence, for the hatred, for the loss
:10:40. > :10:47.of life, for all that divides and spoils our world.
:10:48. > :10:51.Prayers were offered pledging respect between
:10:52. > :10:58.That the best of Muslims is the one who utters beautiful words,
:10:59. > :11:06.Two weeks after the Westminster attack, from an ancient Abbey,
:11:07. > :11:09.which has borne witness to so much, a message of hope.
:11:10. > :11:17.One of those attending the service was Melissa Cochran.
:11:18. > :11:21.She and her husband Kurt were both hit by Khalid Masood's car
:11:22. > :11:26.Kurt was killed, while Melissa suffered injuries,
:11:27. > :11:31.They'd travelled from the USA to celebrate their 25th wedding
:11:32. > :11:39.Melissa Cochran has spoken exclusively to Fiona Bruce.
:11:40. > :11:42.Kurt was probably the best man I have ever met.
:11:43. > :11:57.I am extremely proud of him and I'm very happy that the world now knows
:11:58. > :12:06.He would probably hate all the publicity that is going on,
:12:07. > :12:24.We were just having another wonderful day in our vacation.
:12:25. > :12:28.Just enjoying the sights, taking pictures, making
:12:29. > :12:34.I don't remember much more after that.
:12:35. > :12:38.Crossing the bridge and we were almost there.
:12:39. > :12:41.You have no recollection of the car and the attack itself?
:12:42. > :12:46.There is a photograph that has been printed,
:12:47. > :12:49.I imagine you're aware of it, of you on the ground
:12:50. > :12:59.And the panic, you know, of not being able to see
:13:00. > :13:05.Or really know what was kind of going on.
:13:06. > :13:16.And when did you find out that Kurt had been killed?
:13:17. > :13:20.It was after my surgery on my leg, I had come out
:13:21. > :13:23.of recovery and they placed me in a hospital room.
:13:24. > :13:29.And they were there waiting for me when I came out.
:13:30. > :13:33.I asked them to find out what had happened to my husband.
:13:34. > :13:37.My parents walked out of the room and came back in and they both
:13:38. > :13:42.grabbed my hand and said that he didn't make it.
:13:43. > :13:53.Very striking, the press conference where so many members
:13:54. > :13:56.of your family came and stood in solidarity with you.
:13:57. > :14:02.And also said that your husband would not have felt ill
:14:03. > :14:08.I think that would have surprised a lot of people.
:14:09. > :14:12.He was probably the most loving man I've ever met.
:14:13. > :14:20.There was just such a nerve in his heart.
:14:21. > :14:24.And you can manage to do that yourself?
:14:25. > :14:27.Not feel ill-will towards the man that has put you in this wheelchair,
:14:28. > :14:29.that has ended your future together with your husband?
:14:30. > :14:32.I don't think I could heal my injuries or as a person
:14:33. > :14:48.Melissa Cochran talking to Fiona Bruce.
:14:49. > :14:51.In the past six months, some 70,000 Rohingya Muslims -
:14:52. > :14:53.a persecuted minority - have fled their homeland in Myanmar,
:14:54. > :15:01.There are now reports that the national army has been
:15:02. > :15:03.responsible for mass killings and rapes.
:15:04. > :15:05.The country's leader is Aung San Suu Kyi who for many
:15:06. > :15:08.years has been widely recognised as a champion of human rights.
:15:09. > :15:10.But more recently she's been accused of failing
:15:11. > :15:14.to confront the atrocities against the Rohingya minority.
:15:15. > :15:17.A year after Aung San Suu Kyi became leader in democratic elections
:15:18. > :15:20.she has given a rare interview to our special
:15:21. > :15:27.It is a relic of the absurdity and paranoia of military rule,
:15:28. > :15:29.a capital marooned far from the people, designed
:15:30. > :15:32.to keep the Generals safe, but where the new democratic
:15:33. > :15:36.government is trying to consolidate its hold on power.
:15:37. > :15:40.It's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has undergone a rapid transformation
:15:41. > :15:46.A period of intense scrutiny and criticism.
:15:47. > :15:48.Now, for the first time this year, she's agreed
:15:49. > :15:56.In terms of change in the lives of ordinary people, one
:15:57. > :15:59.of the things that's happened - it's happened in South Africa,
:16:00. > :16:02.for example - is a massive sense of disappointment when a liberation
:16:03. > :16:07.What have you done to make their lives better?
:16:08. > :16:11.You go through the whole list of things we have done,
:16:12. > :16:14.such as how many miles of roads and how many bridges and so many
:16:15. > :16:22.Last year we started out by saying that, at the top of our priorities
:16:23. > :16:27.was job creation and we discovered, over this one year, that
:16:28. > :16:30.if you start constructing all-weather roads and if you provide
:16:31. > :16:36.electrification, then people start creating jobs for themselves.
:16:37. > :16:38.There've been advances in healthcare and, critically,
:16:39. > :16:45.But all of this has been overshadowed by the terror
:16:46. > :16:49.in Rakhine State, where tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims
:16:50. > :16:51.have fled what human rights groups call ethnic cleansing.
:16:52. > :16:55.And about which Aung San Suu Kyi has condemned for failing to speak out.
:16:56. > :16:58.What exactly is it that they're condemning?
:16:59. > :17:00.They want you to allow a UN fact-finding mission
:17:01. > :17:09.That is just what they asked for last month.
:17:10. > :17:16.But what is that they have been condemning over the last year?
:17:17. > :17:19.Many, many people, including those who would be sympathetic to you,
:17:20. > :17:22.look at the situation and say - why hasn't she spoken out?
:17:23. > :17:25.Here's an icon of human rights - What do you mean by "speaking out"?
:17:26. > :17:28.Now, Fergal, this question has been asked since 2013 when the troubles,
:17:29. > :17:36.the last round of troubles broke out in the Rakhine, and they would ask
:17:37. > :17:39.me questions, and I would answer them and people would say I said
:17:40. > :17:42.nothing, simply because I didn't make the kind of statements
:17:43. > :17:44.which they thought I should make, which is to condemn one community
:17:45. > :17:48.So what we're trying to go for is reconciliation, not condemnation.
:17:49. > :17:52.Do you ever worry that you will be remembered
:17:53. > :17:55.as the champion of human rights, the Nobel Laureate who failed
:17:56. > :17:57.to stand up to ethnic cleansing in her own country?
:17:58. > :18:00.No, because I don't think there's ethnic cleansing going on.
:18:01. > :18:02.I think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use
:18:03. > :18:09.It's what I think, as an outsider, I have to say.
:18:10. > :18:12.Fergal, I think there's a lot of hostility there and,
:18:13. > :18:15.as I pointed out just now, its Muslims killing Muslims
:18:16. > :18:17.as well, if they think that they are collaborating
:18:18. > :18:24.So it's not just a matter of ethnic cleansing, as you've put it,
:18:25. > :18:29.it's a matter of people on different sides of a divide.
:18:30. > :18:32.She remains the most popular politician here by a very long way
:18:33. > :18:37.and her goal remains to negotiate the military out of politics,
:18:38. > :18:42.with people power at her back and a steely interior determination.
:18:43. > :18:45.Do you think that people in the West misjudged you or mischaracterised
:18:46. > :18:48.you or misunderstood you, expecting you to be this sort
:18:49. > :18:52.of amalgam of Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa, for example?
:18:53. > :18:54.And, actually, maybe you're closer in your determination and steeliness
:18:55. > :19:05.Well, no, I'm just a politician, I'm not quite
:19:06. > :19:08.But, on the other hand, I'm no Mother Teresa either.
:19:09. > :19:17.The European Parliament has agreed its priorities for the forthcoming
:19:18. > :19:23.MEPs overwhelmingly backed a motion that said trade talks could not
:19:24. > :19:29.begin until substantial progress had been made on the terms
:19:30. > :19:43.Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader, accused MEPs

:19:46. > :19:47.It began cordial enough - smiles, genuine or not,

:19:51. > :19:58.Today, the European Parliament backed his demand.

:20:37. > :20:41.Then this, from the parliament's Italian president.
:20:42. > :20:45.TRANSLATION: I'm sorry, Mr Farage interrupted Antonio Tajani,
:20:46. > :20:47.but saying this parliament is behaving like the Mafia,
:20:48. > :20:58.It's a sign of how fractious the real negotiations could become.
:20:59. > :21:02.Mr Barnier responded, he will not punish the UK,
:21:03. > :21:05.only ask that it live up to its financial obligations
:21:06. > :21:08.and he said it'll have to agree the separation terms before trade
:21:09. > :21:28.The sooner we agree the principles of an orderly withdrawal, the sooner

:21:33. > :21:34.special access to the EU's single market for sectors
:21:35. > :21:37.The reason this debate matters is that this parliament
:21:38. > :21:41.will have a vote in two years' time on any Brexit deal, yes or no.
:21:42. > :21:43.If it doesn't like it, it could throw it out,

:21:49. > :21:53.A young generation that will see Brexit for what it really is,
:21:54. > :22:07.a catfight in the Conservative Party that got out of hand.
:22:08. > :22:10.A lot of time, a waste of energy and, I think, stupidity.

:22:55. > :22:57.for talks with Pope Francis as part of efforts to strengthen relations
:22:58. > :22:59.between Christians and Muslims and to improve the quality
:23:00. > :23:03.The delegation was led by the leader of Roman Catholics in England
:23:04. > :23:05.and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster, as our religious
:23:06. > :23:06.affairs correspondent, Martin Bashir, reports.
:23:07. > :23:09.In a city where Christians once feared to tread,
:23:10. > :23:11.four Muslim leaders arrived for a meeting that intentionally
:23:12. > :23:20.crossed the borders of their own religion.
:23:21. > :23:23.The four imams - who serve communities in Leicester,
:23:24. > :23:26.Birmingham, Glasgow and London - were taken to the Vatican's inner
:23:27. > :23:30.Pope Francis said such an interfaith gathering brought great joy,
:23:31. > :23:32.that it furthered the most important work of humanity, that
:23:33. > :23:38.And then he greeted each of the imams and even
:23:39. > :23:50.Islam gets very a bad press, as you know, because of some Muslims
:23:51. > :23:56.who have behaved in an un-Islamic way, but for the Pope, whose beliefs
:23:57. > :24:00.are so different to those of Islam, yet for him to acknowledge that
:24:01. > :24:04.Islam is a religion of peace is a very powerful message
:24:05. > :24:07.and I hope Muslims are listening, especially those Muslims who are
:24:08. > :24:11.The meeting was organised by the leaders of Catholics
:24:12. > :24:18.What do you say to those who point at the persecution of Christians
:24:19. > :24:28.in Muslim countries like Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan?
:24:29. > :24:31.The violence in those countries certainly includes Christians,
:24:32. > :24:33.but it's not only directed against Christians in some
:24:34. > :24:39.Clearly, innate violence finds a lodging place in aspects of Islam
:24:40. > :24:45.and that is a real challenge for us to face together.
:24:46. > :24:47.This may have been more symbolic than substantive but,
:24:48. > :24:50.in meeting with the Pope, these imams were signalling
:24:51. > :24:54.to British Muslims that the way forward should be friendship
:24:55. > :24:59.with other faiths and not enmity; community and not conflict.
:25:00. > :25:02.The Pope will travel to Egypt at the end of this month
:25:03. > :25:06.in his continuing quest to improve Catholic-Islamic relations.
:25:07. > :25:08.He offered his blessing to each of the imams and asked
:25:09. > :25:23.The outgoing head of Britain's surveillance agency, GCHQ,
:25:24. > :25:25.has called on technology companies to do more to tackle
:25:26. > :25:31.In his final interview before leaving the role,
:25:32. > :25:34.Robert Hannigan spoke to our security correspondent,
:25:35. > :25:38.Gordon Corera, who was given exclusive access behind
:25:39. > :25:57.She's GCHQ's iconic building, housing a mix of people and machines
:25:58. > :25:59.working at the cutting-edge of technology, countering threats
:26:00. > :26:03.In the heart of its headquarters, the outgoing director told me that
:26:04. > :26:05.so-called Islamic State will, as it faces defeat
:26:06. > :26:07.on the battlefield, increasingly turn to the internet.
:26:08. > :26:10.They will continue to try to use the media to crowd source terrorism,
:26:11. > :26:13.to get people around the world to go and commit acts of violence
:26:14. > :26:16.on their behalf, but it's not just for governments to do operations
:26:17. > :26:18.online, it's for the companies and for the rest of media
:26:19. > :26:21.and society to have the will to drive this material
:26:22. > :26:28.So this is our 24-hour operation centre.
:26:29. > :26:30.Inside the building, teams of analysts pour over
:26:31. > :26:37.communications and data from around the world.
:26:38. > :26:39.So there may be a team monitoring the kidnap
:26:40. > :26:41.of a British hostage overseas, for example, or a counter-terrorist
:26:42. > :26:44.operation that's live at the moment, in support of MI5.
:26:45. > :26:48.This, for example, is our cyber 24-hour monitoring cell.
:26:49. > :26:54.We were shown a map which visualises cyber-attacks on the UK,
:26:55. > :26:58.and high on the agenda is the cyber threat from Russia.
:26:59. > :27:02.The scale has changed, they've invested a lot of money
:27:03. > :27:04.and people in offensive cyber behaviour and, critically,
:27:05. > :27:06.they've decided to do reckless and interfering things
:27:07. > :27:11.Clearly, they aspire to do similar things in the UK.
:27:12. > :27:15.There has been this accusation, that's been aired
:27:16. > :27:17.in the United States, that GCHQ was asked
:27:18. > :27:19.to spy on Donald Trump by the Obama administration.
:27:20. > :27:26.Well, we get crazy conspiracy theories thrown at us every day,
:27:27. > :27:32.On this occasion, it was so crazy that we felt we should say so.
:27:33. > :27:38.So, this is one of our high performance computers.
:27:39. > :27:41.Deep under the building sits the electronic brain
:27:42. > :27:44.of GCHQ, humming with data and super computers.
:27:45. > :27:48.This is the first time cameras have filmed inside.
:27:49. > :27:50.Today, our map editions are again using them
:27:51. > :27:55.to tackle our most difficult problems, including on terrorism.
:27:56. > :27:59.Critics argue there is too much intrusive power within these walls,
:28:00. > :28:04.but GCHQ says it's needed to pursue those who pose a threat.
:28:05. > :28:06.Technology and the internet are overwhelmingly brilliant
:28:07. > :28:11.Unfortunately, there will always be people who want to abuse the latest
:28:12. > :28:14.technology and it's our job to deal with that dark side.
:28:15. > :28:18.GCHQ acknowledges it may have been too secret in the past
:28:19. > :28:21.and to succeed in the future, it needs greater public
:28:22. > :28:23.understanding of what really goes on here.
:28:24. > :28:31.Gordon Corera, BBC News, inside GCHQ.
:28:32. > :28:38.Pepsi has announced it's discountinued a controversial advert
:28:39. > :28:40.starring the model Kendall Jenner and apologised for
:28:41. > :28:43.Viewers had complained that the video undermined
:28:44. > :28:46.Pepsi argued it was trying to project a "global message
:28:47. > :28:48.of unity, peace and understanding" as our correspondent,
:28:49. > :29:00.It's a global brand that's caused a global backlash.
:29:01. > :29:09.Supermodel Kendall Jenner handing a can of Pepsi to a police
:29:10. > :29:13.Pepsi says the message was about harmony, but it's caused
:29:14. > :29:20.They've basically set this advert in a protest situation.
:29:21. > :29:22.Donald Trump just got elected, Black Lives Matter's
:29:23. > :29:30.I think people have a right to be upset because essentially Pepsi's
:29:31. > :29:33.just gone out and said - "With a can of Pepsi we can fix
:29:34. > :29:36.and heal the world," and that's just not true.
:29:37. > :29:37.In America, this is the reality of protests.
:29:38. > :29:44.Anger and arrests, not soft drinks and supermodels.
:29:45. > :29:47.In Baton Rouge, Louisiana last year, there was widespread unrest
:29:48. > :29:49.following the shooting of a black man, Alton Stirling, by police.
:29:50. > :29:51.Critics say Pepsi have tried to replicate this iconic
:29:52. > :29:54.image from the protest, and it's in bad taste.
:29:55. > :29:57.I'm tired of black pain being used for commercial gain.
:29:58. > :29:59.It made no sense and it was a parody, basically,
:30:00. > :30:04.I'm wondering if they even have an inclusive and diverse board
:30:05. > :30:09.of advisors, because if anybody who saw that before it went out...
:30:10. > :30:11.They would know that that was just inappropriate and disrespectful.
:30:12. > :30:15.They say any publicity is good publicity.
:30:16. > :30:17.Ad agencies are constantly trying to push the boundaries.
:30:18. > :30:30.When you trivialise it or make a scene, like,
:30:31. > :30:43.just that everybody in a melting pot kind of thing, I don't know
:30:44. > :30:46.if they're really about the issues or if they're just trivialising
:30:47. > :30:49.Probably bigger problems in the world, isn't there?
:30:50. > :30:50.But I think when you say insulting...
:30:51. > :30:53.It's insulting in that, you know, there are serious problems
:30:54. > :30:55.in the world and Pepsi have used the problems to try
:30:56. > :31:00.Bowing to pressure, Pepsi has now pulled the advert and apologised.
:31:01. > :31:05.It's cost the company hundreds of thousands of pounds,
:31:06. > :31:08.but it's a drinks campaign which has fallen flat, and the cost to Pepsi's
