how successful has that been. well that is the big question how successful has it been the question i've put it to several iraqi officials and they've said well to be honest up until now we haven't had any formal commitments coming other than of course the ngo part of this conference n.g.o.s have committed to over three hundred some three hundred thirty million dollars that they say they will contribute to various humanitarian causes we do know from some u.s. officials are talking about how the u.s. will an ounce we don't know if it will be today now there is a press conference involving the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and the iraq reconstruction conference in a couple of hours so that may be the venue but what u.s. officials are telling us is they will make some kind of financing and now it's meant may not be money it could be you know facilitation for finance in other means so how successful will come down to how much money will come in but i'll tell you this adrian the focus on this conference is real

right, and the democratic governor of washington, washington has been one of the state that has been very active in opposing some of donald trump slack policies, particularly in immigration, so it is not surprising to hear their governor the very strong in his question of that arming schoolteachers policy. we are talking about millions of schoolteachers. right now about 60% of the american public has concealed handgun carry licenses, —— about 6% of the american public. it is a massive undertaking. it is not surprising to hear some of donald trump's critics try to pick that aparta trump's critics try to pick that apart a bit, although i will note there is a sheriff in ohio who is offering within his county free handgun training for public school teachers. he says he already has 300 teachers. he says he already has 300 teachers who have signed up to get training, so in some quarters that seems to be a welcome option, a way of countering school gun violence. thank you for putting that into context for us. stay with us on outside source — still to come... the film studio co—found

kfc says it has happened because it has changed distributors. it used to use south african owned company bidvest to transport chicken but recently changed to dhl, and that is why they say they have had some teething problems. we saw this coming weeks ago, people last week were earning money, working on a good product, providing good customer service and today they will struggle to put food on the table. then looking at the people working in the 900 kfc stores, they have been sent home with no pay. dhl says due to operational reasons a number of deliveries in recent days have been incomplete. they moved what looked like a relatively uncomplicated supply chain to a more complicated one and they do not seem to have pressure tested it at all. for any organisation to do that seems bizarre at best. customers have complained on social media. the chain says some staff will still be paid but many of its outlets are franchises, so it is likely they will make losses. fried chicken is not everybody‘s favoured but for those who love it, patience is wearing
