USA: Pokemon Go playing journo interrupts State Department’s daily briefing

Journalist (English): "I'm just keeping an eye on it."
John Kirby, US State Department spokesperson (English): "It's an important reminder. We know this won't be easy, we recognise it as a challenge, and we are clear-eyed about the work we still have to do. This is why we convene this important ministerial and we'll continue to work with our coalition partners to defeat Daesh. Did you get one?
Journalist (English): "No, no, the signal's not very good."
John Kirby, US State Department spokesperson (English): "Sorry about that."
The Pokemon Go sensation arrived at the US State Department in Washington DC, on Thursday, when a journalist was told off for playing the popular game during the daily briefing from spokesperson John Kirby.
During his update on the ongoing efforts to defeat the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), Kirby noticed a journalist using his phone, saying: "you're playing the Pokemon thing right there, aren't you," a query which was subsequently confirmed by the reporter.
Making use of GPS and the camera of mobile phones and other devices, Pokemon Go allows players to capture, battle, and train Pokemon appearing on their devices all across the city. It attracted some controversy due to reports of causing accidents and leading to muggings.
