it's not the same old song and dance thousands of activists in mexico and chile aim to open people's eyes to violence against women. i'm rebecca raters welcome to the program british police have identified the man who carried out friday's stabbing attack in london they say was 200. man calm he would have killed 2 people on london bridge he was later shot dead by police khan was convicted in 2012 of terrorism offenses and was released from prison about a year ago during a visit to the site of the stabbing british prime minister barak johnson expressed his opposition to the early release of convicted terrorists. onlookers captured the moment members of the public disarm an attacker on london bridge he was wearing

a fake suicide bomb vest moments later the police shot him dead one of the bystanders who intervened told journalists what he saw. when we got there he was wielding 2 noise one was sort of duct taped to his hand so all i could do was walk to the guards to sort of help him down the sort of putting him to the ground. you know kind of try to start because all i could on his restaurant you know release the noise as it were in a song so a kick a nice way police search for evidence of the attackers house in a town 250 kilometers north of the capital the 28 year old suspect was mccann had been serving time for terrorism offenses until last year he was released early before he had served half his prison sentence he was allowed to walk free after agreeing to wear and electronic tag that's a practice that u.k. prime minister boris johnson says he wants to change we say in the manifesto that we will to toughen up sentences for serious involvement offenses and i've said for

a long time that i think the practice of automatic to the rich where you cut a sentence in hope for mitt really serious well if it is out early simply isn't working and i think you've had some very good evidence of how that is working i'm afraid this case britain is holding snap elections in less than 2 weeks but campaigning in london is suspended for the weekend so far the election campaign has focused on bragg's it and medical care in the country but in the aftermath of this attack terrorism is likely to be high on the agenda to. i'm joined now by margaret gilmore in london she's a security and terrorism expert on it thanks for joining me in the attack it was a convicted terrorist and jailed over a plot to blow up the london stock exchange but he was released early with this avoidable this attack. one of the questions that's going to have.

something that what happens is when you have seasonal that you're not happy with that you believe and maybe some kind of. a fuse i don't. know what conditions to anything after the you know all of which it appears he actually stuck saiful builds but clearly there was a ceiling fan. but they nest it's all working out the priorities so who has to stay in jail because they still are a risk who is allowed out a license as he was legally allowed out and then what are you treat that person is very expensive to put him under for example 24 hour round the clock surveillance 7 days a week so the decision was to put him on that tag but i think this is certainly an area that got a look at because we've got to move on that will promise of ours johnson is calling

for tougher sentences folkenflik to terrorists is that the answer. well we're in the middle of the election and. i'm sure the political parties will be working out what their policies are going to be to the people. that the sentences haven't been thwarted by any of the parties. and the annoyance that was chained this man had been in a time of that sentence indeterminate sentence but less conditionally just as you say dangerous and should stay in jail in the town where he was deal no longer is to the public the law then changed and appeals and what happened then was that he got a deterrent that fixed sense of. 6 was he said actually less than half of that and by under the law he was a lot out on what they call a license i under certain conditions. just briefly if you can i want to talk quickly about the bystanders who wrestled the attacker to the ground how common

a reaction is that during a terrorist attack to sort of a fight instead of flight reaction i think it's futile or getting more angry or it's becoming more common as certainly there's a lot of agony at i think that there was a piece of this is there. and once you see somebody in there and there are people still going up around that i would be enough to try and help there were certain people that he stepped in they were remarkable it was a very dangerous thing to do and in fact when police. got to the scene the scullers that he had sized else around him and it could have been the real thing it was very it looked like the real thing i've seen the photographs and they were very concerned and they were pulling remembers the public all so that they could isolate him in case he exploded. margaret gilmore at

well the 2 new leaders that are elected certainly will be welcomed by alexander gallant one of the founding fathers of the party who got his wish list your voice in an older professor from west germany he was reelected as co-head of the party he has a very long track record of also trying to be a moderate if he has successively shifted further to the right in the past elections also and also a rift in the party with the far right extreme right wing. being led by. someone who can legally be called a fascist according to a court ruling here in germany and with mr pardo who's from the east who's from saxony the f.t. very much feels that it's been able to complete the picture have

a stronger representation of the east and voter base also at the very top of the party the sick of color is actually infamous for actually kicking out the state previous saxony from his own constituency mission a catch my who's from i'm going to merkel's c.d.u. party so clearly this is a step towards becoming more professional also reaching out towards the east and showing a united front against extremism at the same time. remains a very dominant figure in the background so this party stood is quite clearly right only haiti you mentioned you touched on the f.t. sort of moving lurching further and further to the right since its founding 6 years ago can we expect more of a move in that direction with these 2 latest. what the passage does avoid is having somebody at the top. who is vocally and rhetorical the seen as

extreme right like a hooker but. believe 16 right wing welcomed mystical becoming a leading figure in fact he was in favor of that and i had the chance of ask him earlier why he didn't stand as co party leader he said he was simply too busy he wouldn't do that for now also clearly there is somebody who stream right who has high ambitions for this future so now delegates here are satisfied that they sue a united picture not an extreme right pick and could be wrong palatable to elections taking place in western states and general elections coming up in 2021. thanks very much for that simon i'm going to turn to you now the expedia are also going to be announcing new party leaders i believe we have the results coming in. right fresh out. breaking right now pretty surprising news in fact

the finance minister all of scholtz and he's his partner. as they in their candidacy to take over leadership of the social democrat party which is remind the viewers one of the government parties here in germany. he's lost his bid to lead the party so that means that 2 new faces relatively unknown politicians at national level anyway no but boy and saskia s. going to going to be the the leadership of the social democrat party going forward why does this matter well those 2 are pretty skeptical about whether it's a good idea to stay in government with medical so this could be a small bombshell in german politics it would tell us a little bit about the 2 candidates and why it's such a shock yeah i know but but it's a boy is a former finance minister in north run. is another regional

s.p.d. lawmaker and as i say they're not particularly well known the there was essentially to do as they could they decided to have man woman. and it's kind of this is for this job and the best known among the 4 people there was a left shoulder as i say the finance minister is obviously well known his vice chancellor as well and he saw himself as somebody who could leave the lead the party and become the next chancellor of germany he's now not going to get the chance to do that and as i say this decision could break apart shots the man who's government to people that the party have gone with a not very pro the sort of so-called grand coalition at the moment with the city have said is that they will make staying in that government conditional on renegotiating the agreement that they have with mayor who's conservatives and if they're not able to do that they say they will pull out and move it to reset the

social democrat party outside the government ok simon young thank you very much for that information. so moving on to now you're watching news we'll have shift we want him in this fall have shifted technology program coming up for a change for that one of more news at the top of the hour i'm back thanks for joining us. to. do it yourself. but you. know. don't miss out. closely. carefully. don't use. to be.
