World cont’d from pg 6 Trump administration officials on Capitol Hill — including Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and CIA Direc- tor Gina Haspel — said the briefers had no in- telligence indicating the plane was shot down. The plane, en route to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, was carrying 167 passengers and nine crew members from several countries, in- cluding 82 Iranians, at least 63 Canadians and 11 Ukrainians, accord- ing to officials. AP FACT CHECK: Trump minimizes IS risk, distorts Iran payout WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wrongly dis- missed the continuing threat of the Islamic State group and spread a false tale of the U.S. paying out billions of dollars to Iran as part of the multinational deal freezing its nuclear program in an address Wednesday that fell short on facts. He also made an asser- tion that is as dubious as it was provocative: that the Iranian mis- siles fired by Tehran at two military bases host- ing U.S. forces in Iraq were paid for by money “made available” to Iran by the Obama adminis- tration. A look at some of the president’s claims in his remarks on Iran’s missile strike on the two Iraqi bases: TRUMP: “Three months ago, after de- stroying 100% of ISIS and its territorial ca- liphate ...” THE FACTS: His claim of a 100% defeat is mis- leading as the Islamic State still poses a threat.

Many of Hong Kong’s hardcore protesters are working-class construc- tion workers and hair- stylists battling an estab- lishment government dominated by business interests and real estate tycoons. Some wave U.S. and other flags to appeal to the rest of the world for support. But a small group of followers of far-right ac- tivist Horace Chin regu- larly join the long-run- ning protests, drawing the glare of television cameras with big ban- ners reading “President Trump, Please Liberate Hong Kong”. Van Amburg and So- rensen said that what makes Apple TV Plus dis- tinctive from some of the others is a commitment to education and impart- ing lessons. “We want to make sure parents feel good about watching these programs together as a family but also put- ting their kids in front of them solo,” said So- rensen. “I think entertainment in kids’ programming can be purely that — it can be thoughtful and en- tertaining,” said Van Am- burg. “But we said, ‘What if we pushed a little bit further? What if there was actually a message, explosion in streaming content uncritically. The Center for Digital Democracy is as wary of streaming content as it is of the Wild West of YouTube videos aimed at kids. “It’s all about getting their attention so ads can be sold,” said Jeff Chester, the center’s executive di- rector.
