Trump is asking the DOJ to investigate intelligence leaks stemming from the Manchester bombing

In a <a href="https://news.npcc.police.uk/releases/manchester-incident-update">statement</a>, a spokesperson representing the British police group's counterterrorism committee said the leaks "undermine our investigations and the confidence of victims.""We greatly value the important relationships we have with our trusted intelligence, law enforcement and security partners around the world. These relationships enable us to collaborate and share privileged and sensitive information that allows us to defeat terrorism and protect the public at home and abroad," the spokesperson said."When that trust is breached it undermines these relationships, and undermines our investigations and the confidence of victims, witnesses and their families. This damage is even greater when it involves unauthorized disclosure of potential evidence in the middle of a major counter terrorism investigation."Another government official called the leak "completely unacceptable.""We are furious. This is completely unacceptable," the unnamed government official <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2017/may/24/manchester-arena-bombing-terror-attack-victims-threat-critical-ariana-grande-concert-live-news">told The Guardian</a>. "These images leaked from inside the US system will be distressing for victims, their families and the wider public. The issue is being raised at every relevant level by the British authorities with their US counterparts." <img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/592605c1df1bf02e008b48ec-1600/gettyimages-687191772.jpg" alt="Home Secretary Amber Rudd and Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May (C) meet Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Ian Hopkins on May 23, 2017 in Manchester, England.

"I extend my deepest condolences to those so terribly injured in this terrorist attack and to the many killed, and the families, so many families, of the victims.""We stand in absolute solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom."The president also used the news conference as an opportunity to call the person or people behind the attack "evil losers.""So many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life," Trump said. "I won't call these people monsters, because they would like that term. They would think that's a great name.""I will call them, from now on, losers. Because that's what they are, they're losers."Trump tied the attack in to his talks with Middle East leaders on his trip abroad."Our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed," <a href="https://twitter.com/ainsleyearhardt/status/866933447071236097">Trump said</a>. "We can not stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people, and in today's attack it was mostly innocent children.""This wicked ideology must be obliterated, and I mean completely obliterated, and the innocent life must be protected."At least 22 people were killed in Monday night's attack, and 59 people injured. Manchester police say one individual who died in the explosion was behind the attack, using an improvised explosive device. <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/watch-sally-yates-go-toe-to-toe-with-ted-cruz-over-immigration-ban-2017-5">Watch Sally Yates go toe to toe with Ted Cruz over Trump's immigration ban</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video

Trump offers condolences for Manchester bombing while condemning 'evil losers' with 'wicked ideology'

Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next' is full of revealing lyrics, samples, and apparent Pete Davidson references &mdash; here's every detail you may have missed

Photos from the scene of Monday's explosion at Manchester Arena shed new light on the improvised bomb detonated by Salman Abedi.The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/man-who-attacked-the-ariane-grande-concert-in-manchester-named-2017-5">suicide bomb</a>, which killed 22 people and injured at least 64, detonated in the arena's foyer as fans trickled out of a concert where singer Ariana Grande had just performed.The photos, obtained from British authorities <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/05/24/world/europe/manchester-arena-bomb-materials-photos.html">by The New York Times</a> on Wednesday, show some of the remnants of Abedi's improvised bomb - a shredded backpack where he may have stored it, a possible detonator found in his left hand, a 12-volt battery, and nuts and screws that were used as shrapnel.<h2>Backpack:</h2><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5925cdba621e6c3d008b45c2-1051/screen shot 2017-05-24 at 15909 pm.png" alt="Abedi manchester bomb" />Manchester bomb forensic imagesRemnants of a backpack used by Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi.The location where officials found the bomber's torso suggests he carried the bomb in his backpack and was propelled across the foyer, according to the Times, citing an explosive disposal technician.<h2>Shrapnel:</h2><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5925cf19621e6c8a008b45d1-1045/screen shot 2017-05-24 at 15929 pm.png" alt="manchester bomb shrapnel nails" />Manchester bomb forensic imagesNuts and screws used as shrapnel.Authorities found nuts and screws that had been packed inside the bomb. According to the Times, some of the shrapnel penetrated metal doors and left deep marks in the floor. Attackers often use these items in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nail-bombs-what-are-they-2017-5">homemade bombs</a> to increase the amount of damage inflicted. Media reports stated that doctors and bystanders <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/homeless-man-recounts-story-of-bravery-during-manchester-attack-2017-5">helped remove</a> nails, nuts, and bolts from the bodies of survivors of the bombing.<h2>Detonator:</h2><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5925ceb1621e6c3d008b45dd-1045/screen shot 2017-05-24 at 15920 pm.png" alt="manchester bomb detonator" />Manchester bomb forensic imagesA possible detonator found in Abedi's left hand.This detonator was found in the attacker's left hand.

The battery is more powerful than those typically found in suicide bombs, according to the Times.Greater Manchester Police confirmed on Wednesday they were investigating a "network" of terrorists linked to the British-born Abedi. His older brother was arrested in Manchester on Tuesday in connection with the attack, while his younger brother and father were both detained in Libya, according to media reports.On Tuesday, while searching a Manchester home believed to be linked to Abedi, forensic experts found a book labeled "Know Your Chemicals." Authorities are still trying to determine the type and size of the bomb. <h3>More from Mark Abadi:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/manchester-bomb-photos-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Photos show detonator, shrapnel, battery used by Manchester bomber</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/manchester-arena-ariana-grande-concert-england-2017-5" rel="nofollow">1 arrest, raids, and controlled explosion as police investigate Manchester bomb attack</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-typos-spelling-tweets-unpresidented-2017-4" rel="nofollow">Trump and his White House have made some embarrassing spelling mistakes - here are the worst ones</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/republican-politician-explains-why-trumps-bad-spelling-could-help-him" rel="nofollow">A Republican politician explains why Trump's bad spelling could be helping him with his base</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/60-days-in-sheri-ray-clark-county-jail-inmate-to-officer-2017-5" rel="nofollow">A woman who spent 2 months as an undercover inmate is now a guard at her old jail</a></li></ul>

He carried out the attack with a home-made bomb made of explosives and shrapnel stuffed into a backpack.Abedi detonated his bomb just after Grande had finished singing. He was standing in the foyer of the 21,000-seater venue as children and their parents were leaving the concert on a Monday evening.

Two were released without charge, while 14 men remained in custody for questioning, the police said.The news comes as MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency, reportedly launched two inquiries into how it missed the threat posed by the Manchester bomber, Salman Abedi, amid claims that his radicalisation had repeatedly been flagged to authorities.The Guardian <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/28/mi5-launches-inquiries-into-failings-on-manchester-arena-bomber-salman-abedi-moss-side-raids-amber-rudd">reports</a> that one investigation was launched last week, which will aim to identify "glaring errors," while the other will be more in-depth.

(A second, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/manchester-arena-ariana-grande-concert-england-2017-5">23-year-old suspect</a> has been arrested in connection with the bombing.)The explosive and type of device aren't yet known, though terrorists recently used a chemical called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/brussels-attack-tatp-chemical-bombs-2016-3">TATP</a> to bomb Brussels and Paris.Media reports also suggest that a type of improvised explosive device (IED) called a "<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/22/manchester-arena-police-explosion-ariana-grande-concert-england">nail bomb</a>" was detonated near an exit of the Manchester Arena, where people - many of them <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/05/manchester-attacks-ariana-grande/527736/">young women</a> - were bottle-necked as the show let out.<h2>What a 'nail bomb' is and why they're so deadly</h2><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5924a3836391471b008b5f95-1587/rusty-nuts-bolts-nails-shutterstock410961958.jpg" alt="rusty nuts bolts nails shutterstock_410961958" /><a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/rusty-nuts-bolts-nails-on-wooden-410961958">Shutterstock</a>The namesake ingredient of a "nail bomb" isn't as important as the concept: spreading shrapnel or "frag," as explosives experts call fast-moving pieces of metal thrown off by a detonation.An attacker will surround an IED with metal objects to make it more deadly than the detonation alone.A homeless man reportedly <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/homeless-man-recounts-story-of-bravery-during-manchester-attack-2017-5">helped remove nails</a> from victims right after the Manchester bombing, for instance, while The Guardian reports that doctors removed <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2017/may/22/manchester-arena-ariana-grande-concert-explosion-england?page=with:block-59244a4ce4b0366955f557cd#block-59244a4ce4b0366955f557cd">nuts and bolts</a> from the bodies of survivors. <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ariana-grande-concert-manchester-arena-explosion/">Ball bearings</a> were also found at the scene of the crime, according to CBS news.Such devices have been used for decades to inflict maximum casualties with crude homemade explosives, since military munitions are closely guarded and often unavailable to modern terrorists, says Jimmie Oxley, an explosives researcher at the University of Rhode Island."The explosive itself moves in the range of 1 to 8 or 9 kilometers per second," or 2,200 to 20,000 mph. "That's how fast the shot is traveling through the material. The fragments it drives out are not moving nearly that fast, though."But Oxley, who recently studied pipe bomb explosions at the request of US law enforcement agencies, says the force of a blast can accelerate pieces of metal beyond 2,000 mph - faster than the average <a href="http://www.mythbusterstheexhibition.com/science-content/dodge-a-bullet/">speeding bullet</a>."You can get out of the pressure wave [of a blast] quickly, but the frags go a lot farther. Some will Frisbee and go very far," she says. "The bottom line is you're not going to outrun one of these things."Warning: We have purposefully omitted key details about improvised bombs. Never attempt to make or detonate such devices, or the explosives used in them, for any reason.<h3>More from Dave Mosher:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nail-bombs-what-are-they-2017-5" rel="nofollow">What a 'nail bomb' is and why they are terrifying improvised weapons</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sex-transition-plastic-surgery-statistics-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Gender transition surgeries jumped nearly 20% in a year - but the new data highlight a worrisome problem</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/plastic-surgery-growth-statistics-facts-2016-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Americans spent $8 billion on plastic surgery in 2016 - here's the work they got done</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/wifi-camera-sees-through-walls-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Scientists have found a way to photograph people in 3D through walls using Wi-Fi</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/spidersuit-mars-astronauts-lockheed-nasa-2017-5" rel="nofollow">Astronauts may wear eight-legged 'spider' spacesuits to crawl across the moons of Mars</a></li></ul> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/tsa-bomb-detection-airport-security-terrorism-weapons-2016-8">The TSA showed us the explosions created by different improvised devices</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video

What a 'nail bomb' is and why they are terrifying improvised weapons

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst" />Thomson ReutersTunisia's President Essebsi gestures to Trump as German Chancellor Merkel looks on at the G7 Summit expanded session in TaorminaGerman chancellor Angela Merkel distanced herself from the US and the UK during a campaign event in Munich on Sunday."The times in which [Germany] could fully rely on others are partly over. I have experienced this in the last few days," Merkel <a href="https://twitter.com/mathieuvonrohr/status/868830949106229249" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a> during the event. "We Europeans really have to take our destiny into our own hands," she said. Though she did not mention them by name, Merkel was most likely referring to the fractured relationship Germany now shares with the US, as well as with the UK post-Brexit. Merkel's comments came on the heels of what she called a "difficult" and "unsatisfactory" G7 summit. The summit included leaders of the US, UK, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and Italy, and Merkel characterized the discussions as "six against one."Trump backed a pledge to fight protectionism at the end of the G7 summit on Saturday, but refused to endorse the climate pact, saying he needed more time to decide.However, <a href="https://www.axios.com/scoop-trump-tells-confidants-he-plans-to-leave-paris-climate-deal-2424446776.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Axios reported</a> that Trump had already made his decision. Trump reportedly told multiple people, including Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt, that he would be pulling out of the deal, according to three sources with knowledge of the conversations. Despite his pledge to fight protectionism, Trump has favored a more protectionist stance on trade, while other G7 members favor free trade. In April, Trump was said to be considering an executive order which would pull the US out of NAFTA. After a phone call with Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican president Peña Nieto, Trump <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-nafta-canada-mexico-renegotiation-2017-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">changed his mind</a> and said that he would be open to renegotiating the terms of NAFTA. <img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5900e7220ba0b888008b664a-2400/rtsyh3v.jpg" alt="Trudeau Trump" />REUTERS/Kevin LamarqueCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (L) shakes hands with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, U.S., February 13, 2017.Trump also ran on a platform of cracking down on immigration into the US, both through legal and illegal channels, and including refugee admission. Shortly after taking office, he signed an executive order imposing a travel ban on people coming from 7 Muslim-majority countries. After that ban was repeatedly struck down by the courts, Trump signed a second executive order targeting travelers from 6 Muslim-majority countries and relaxing some stipulations of the first travel ban. The second executive order was <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-travel-ban-block-4th-circuit-court-supreme-2017-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">struck down</a> by a number of courts as well and is currently being weighed by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. Merkel, in a decision that was slammed by nationalists like Trump and France's Marine Le Pen, allowed hundreds of thousands of refugees to enter Germany. Trudeau has also signaled that he will open Canada's borders to those fleeing war and terrorism in their own countries. Trump also criticized key NATO allies at a summit on Thursday and said they were not spending enough on defense. He also warned of more attacks similar to the Manchester bombing unless the alliance did more to stop militants.Merkel's differences with Trump stand in stark contrast to the close relationship she shared with former president Barack Obama. Merkel has repeatedly characterized Obama as a friend and a strong German ally, and Obama <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/25/politics/angela-merkel-obama-trump-germany/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">called Merkel</a> "one of my favorite partners throughout my presidency" during a visit to Germany's Brandenburg Gate on Thursday. Obama and Merkel met on the same day Merkel was set to meet with Trump during the NATO summit in Brussels. During her campaign event on Sunday, Merkel emphasized a close Franco-German alliance. She wished Macron success in his presidency and said, "Where Germany can help, Germany will help, because Germany can only do well if Europe is doing well." Her comments mark a potentially radical shift in US-German relations, as well as the US' relationship with Western Europe as a whole. But EU Council President Donald Tusk said on Sunday he was more optimistic now than after the US election last November after EU leaders held talks with Trump in Brussels. "What I am absolutely sure after this meeting is that despite some extraordinary ... expressions, behaviors, etc, etc, our partners in the G7 are much more responsible than the first impression after the election in the United States," Tusk said in the Slovak capital. <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/reporter-calls-out-claim-that-fbi-was-happy-comeys-firing-sarah-huckabee-sanders-white-house-press-briefing-2017-5">'Really?': A reporter calls out Huckabee's claim that 'countless' FBI employees were happy with Comey's firing</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video

Later, he issued an updated comment but fundamentally stood by his earlier statement.This is what he said in his updated comment, which you can read alongside his earlier comment here:"To be perfectly clear, while racism itself isn't against the rules, it's not welcome here. I try to stay neutral on most political topics, but this isn't one of them.I believe the best defense against racism and other repugnant views, both on Reddit and in the world, is instead of trying to control what people can and cannot say through rules, is to repudiate these views in a free conversation, and empower our communities to do so on Reddit.When it comes to enforcement, we separate behavior from beliefs. We cannot control people's beliefs, but we can police their behaviors. As it happens, communities dedicated racist beliefs end up banned for violating rules we do have around harassment, bullying, and violence.There exist repugnant views in the world. As a result, these views may also exist on Reddit. I don't want them to exist on Reddit any more than I want them to exist in the world, but I believe that presenting a sanitized view of humanity does us all a disservice. It's up to all of us to reject these views."The gist is that Reddit wants to try and distinguish between real-world, tangible harassment, and ideas - <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/how-reddit-works-as-an-incubator-of-hate?utm_term=.ktZW7OrZA#.joNnjlpAO">an idea it has expressed before</a>. This strangely permissive attitude to racism is US-centric, and will encourage the toxicity that already pervades some Reddit communities, known as subreddits, and other online platforms.<h2>Free speech absolutists argue that sunlight is the best disinfectant for hate</h2>Huffman, though he doesn't quite phrase it this way, is referring to a common argument in favour of offensive speech which goes like this: you are never going to quash someone's racist views by banning them or shutting them down, and it's better to shine a light on these beliefs and argue against them.A major flaw in this argument when applied to racism is the assumption that prejudice is logical. Someone who sets up <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/coontown">a subreddit called r/CoonTown</a> to post racist memes is not going to be open to arguments about black people's humanity and dignity. Reddit banned that particular community, but a subsequent Q&amp;A with its moderator is still live. The moderator explained: "I'm out to smash the Zionist kikes who want to keep Whites in a box and from gaining racial consciousness." What sunlight will disinfect that?<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5ad06cfe146e712b008b47d6-884/screen shot 2018-04-13 at 093905.png" border="0" alt="Reddit anti-Semitic rant" data-mce-source="Reddit/Business Insider" data-mce-caption="A racist rant by the moderator of r/CoonTown is still available on Reddit." />Reddit/Business InsiderA racist rant by the moderator of r/CoonTown is still available on Reddit.</div></div></div>Huffman's views also don't make sense in the context of Reddit, which is made up of interest-based communities called subreddits. If you're interested in technology, you go to r/technology. If you're a bitcoin enthusiast, you might send most of your time in r/bitcoin. As Redditors responding to Huffman pointed out, these communities tend to become echo chambers.Some Reddit users, arguing against Hoffman, pointed to r/TheDonald, a pro-Trump subreddit rife with alt-right memes and covert racism.<a href="http://archive.is/QX5yY#selection-2651.0-2659.1">In one example</a>, still live on Reddit, one user posted an image of the Dhaka floods in 2016 which, combined with animal sacrifices for Eid, resulted in red-coloured rivers flowing through the city. The user commented: "and you're telling me muslims can integrate into our society? ayy lmao fuck off libcucks. REMOVE KEBAB."Another wrote: "This is what happens when you worship Satan and moon gods." And another replied: "you forgot "goat fuckers" and "pedophiles!"Complaining about extreme subreddits, here's what user LeConnor wrote: "These communities, mainly the more dogmatic ones, are allowed to remain separated and turn into echo chambers. If you disagree, you're banned. If you use the wrong sort of language, you're banned. It happens in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDonald">/r/TheDonald</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism">/r/socialism</a>. For the most part there isn't a even a chance for debate to happen. If you go into one a sub that holds viewpoints that are opposed to yours and try to debate or discuss your own views you'll get dogpiled by the mob. You have to go to a debate sub or metareddit if you want to avoid that."In other words, the structure of Reddit means that most racist subreddits are unlikely to become places where comments pointing out the logical holes in racism will get an airing.<h2>Huffman has a scarily US-centric view of the world</h2>Free speech absolutism is not common outside the US, where people are free to spout racism thanks to the First Amendment.<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/what-europe-can-teach-america-about-free-speech/537186/">It's much blurrier in Europe</a>, where there are strict laws around hate speech and incitement to violence. In Germany, it has long been illegal to be a Nazi or to espouse Nazi views. More recently, Germany introduced NetzDG, <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/germany-is-investigating-far-right-mp-beatrix-von-storch-after-a-strict-social-media-hate-speech-law-2018-1">a strict law which prohibits hate speech online</a> and covers all the US web giants - presumably including Reddit.In the UK, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/man-british-muslims-killed-manchester-attack-facebook-post-keegan-jakovlevs-jailed-wrexham-wales-a7933896.html">a man was jailed for posting a Facebook comment</a> calling for British Muslims to be killed after the Manchester bombing in 2017. More than <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/arrests-for-offensive-facebook-and-twitter-posts-soar-in-london-a7064246.html">2,500 people in London have been arrested over the years for posting offensive or threatening messages in social media</a>.<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughTrumpSpam/comments/514snh/reddit_admins_rthe_donald_advocates_violence_and/?st=jfxozlx7&amp;sh=51a58e2a">Similar comments reportedly appear on r/TheDonald subreddit</a>, apparently with no wider consequences for the community. Per comments by other Reddit users, their ideas are rarely challenged, though they are often criticised outside r/TheDonald.Huffman might disagree with Europe's stricter philosophy towards free speech, but it seems odd to disregard the international legal consequences entirely.<h2>Policing speech is a major challenge for the tech giants and Huffman is choosing to duck responsibility</h2>The proliferation of trolls online and the easy spread of hate speech is a major challenge for tech platforms.Facebook and Google are under particular pressure to tackle radical speech that may incite terrorism, right-wing conspiracy theories being promoted on YouTube, and abusive content. It's a tough challenge, and Mark Zuckerberg recently said he's "fundamentally uncomfortable" sitting in California making decisions about <a href="https://www.recode.net/2018/3/22/17150772/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-content-policy-guidelines-hate-free-speech">who gets a voice and who doesn't</a>.This is, in some ways, understandable, but Huffman is blind to the way Reddit communities can ferment hate thanks to the site's structure. Huffman's problem is that he wants bad speech to be countered by good speech, but the structure of Reddit prevents that from happening and - even worse - provides a haven for the spread of racist ideas.The distinction between real-world harassment and "ideas" also looks naive, given research by the Southern Poverty Law Center showed in 2014 that <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/18/hate-crime-murders-website-stormfront-report">the now-defunct website Stormfront was connected to several killings</a>. There isn't evidence to show that spouting off on Reddit leads to murder, but the SPLC research suggests it isn't much of a leap from extremist ideas to violence.This column does not necessarily reflect the <keyword id="6356002" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="opinion">opinion</keyword> of Business Insider. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/video-dropbox-ceo-drew-houston-ipo-interview-2018-3">Dropbox CEO talks about how he went from rejecting Steve Jobs to an $11 billion IPO</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/OrufnKUf-xjRU7l6Z.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>
